Now that the Chicago papers have succeeded in getting the World’s fair open on Sundays for the benefit of the workingmen, they are trying to devise ‘ways and means to get the workingmen to go to the fair. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has been compelled to place himself on a starva- tion diet. Still he's doing no more than several hundred thousand expectant place hunters have been doing ever since they went to Washington to wait for #naps under the new dispensation. PENSION reform is all right and no one will do more to assist the work than the veterans themselves; but when the southern papers allude to the veterans as “our beggars in blue,” a good many people will begin to think that the re- form is proceeding just a little too rapidly. Our of 400,000 immigrants who came to the United States in the past twelve months, but 4,155, or about 1 per cent, have found homes in the south. The ‘west still affords the greatest attraction to men and women who come to America to win free homes for themselves by un- remitting toil. A MILWAUKEE paper makes a pain- fully laborious effort to establish the fact that the recent financial flurry in Omaha was caused by an extraordinary ghrinkage in real estate values which prevented the banks from realizing on real estate mortgages. There has been no material change in real estate values inthis city within the past three years and the tondency if anything has been upward this spring. THE laxity of the divorce system in the United States has again been made ridiculously apparent by the decision of a Philadelphia judge, who gravely an- nounces from the bench that a man liv- ing with one wife in Pennsylvania can- not be convicted of bigamy because he happens to have another wife in Onio from whom he has not been divorced. There is evidently an urgent demand for & national divorce law in the United States.

Free coinage on this basis would certainly be shorn of any serious objections, THE farmers alliances in Jerry Simp- son's own county of Harper, in Kansas, ave probably wiser than thoy were a few days ago. Recently they entered into a secret compact to pay cortain wages only to farm hunds during harvest, their ex- pressed object being to thus prevent ex- tortion. This agreement became known, notice was served upon the farmers who were engaged in it that such a compact was in violation of the anti-trust law, and tho agreement was speedily dis- solved to provént prosecution. Tre president is expected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of United States Mavshal Frye of South Dakota within a fow days now. The contest for the position seems to have narrowed down to Colonel Sheaf, backed by Sena- tor Kyle, and A. M. Kellor of De Smet, Who has the endorsement of District At~ torney Miller and other prominent dem- ocrats of the state. The chances appear 10 be in favor of the appointment of the latter, but the fact that he is at Wash- logton pushing his claim may have a prejudicial effect in his case. . THE _OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 1893. AFTER REPEAL WHATY The indieations are that there will be & clear majority in the next house of representatives in favor of the uncondi- tional ropeal of the silver purchase law. This is the showing made by the canvass of the New York papers. There may bo changes between now and the meeting of congress in September, but the chances are that they will be favorable to the advocates of repeal. Itis obvious that the sentiment for repeal has been gaining ground, not from any influenco exerted by the aaministration, but as an effect of the financial situation. lvery- body concedes that something must be done and as the abandonment of the pur- chase of silver by the government is the expedient which the greatest number rogard a3 essential many have concluded to accept it who a short time ago were opposed to repeal. Thero is less cortainty about a majority in the senate favoring the abandonment of the silver purchase act, but it is thourht that a decisive vote in the house against the law will bring the scnate to terms. Assuming, therefore, as the prosent indications appear to warrant, that tho silver purchase act will be repealed, what can be done to supply the place of currenecy the issue of which would thus be stopped? Accord- ing to excellent authority two proposi- tions are receiving consideration in administration circles. Ono of these is to allow the national banks to issue notes up to the par value of the bonds depos- ited to secure them, instead of 99 per cent of such value as at present. The other is to repeal the tax on state bank notes, so as to restore to banks author- ized by state laws the vrivilege of issu- ing currency. As tothe first of theso propositions there can be no sound ob- jeotion, but its adoption would go but a very small way toward making up for the loss of currency supply incident to the stoppage of silver pur- chases. The annual addition to the circulation from this source amounts to about $60,000,000, whereas the national banks in being al- lowed to add 10 per cent to the amount of their notes would increase the cireu- lation only about D00,000. As to the other,which is understood to be in favor with the administration, it is an altern- ativo which would simply substitute one peril for another and the last would bo moro dangerous than the first. Opening the doors to an unlimited issue of state bank currency would not, it is true, in- volve any danger to the treasury gold, which is the troublo now at the bottom of the unfavorable finan- cial conditions, but it would ¢ tainly be productive of other evils quite as serious. It need hardly be said that neither of these altornatives will placate or satisfy the silver men. The cause of free silver coinage, how- ever, is clearly hopeless. It looks as if the administration will endeavor to compromise by giving its influence in favor of removing the tax on state bank issues, but it is very ques- tionable whether a measure for this purpose can be passed in either branch of congress. It will not be supported by republicans and there are enough dem- ocrats opposed to it to defeat it in union with the republicans. OUR AMBA DR IN ENGLAND. The American ambassador to England, Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, ought to find opportunity in this position toadd to his fame as a public man. He hashadad tinguished career, and one that pecu- liarly fitted him for diplomatic duties. In tho senate of the United States he was for years a member of the commit- tee on foreign relations, and as sceretary of state in the first administration of President Cleveland, Mr. Bayard was enabled to acquire a thorough knowi- edge not only of our international rela- tions but also of diplomatic practice. Opinions differ as to his success in the controversies he conducted, and particularly regarding his man- agement of the Bering sea dispute. There are many who think that he did not show remarkable diplomatic ability or tact, and was rather at a dis- advantage in the contention with the British foreign office. But Mr. Bayard is admittedly an able man and should make a creditable record as the repre- sentative of the United States at the court of St. James's. He seems, however, to have already made one mistake that may operate to mar his record unless he shall correct it, which there may still be opportunity to do. It will be remembered that when Mr. Bayard arrived at Southampton ho was received by the authoritigs of that city with a great deal of ceremony, in acknowledging which he said somo very commendable things. He expressed the hope that he would ba enabled to make his office the means of removing any lingering suspicion or doubt or misun- derstanding Dbetween the two great branches of the English-speaking race. He said he would make it an agency to render strife impossible, an agency to promote mutual welfaro by the benefi cence of commerce. This was well, and reflected the sentiment of a large ma- jority of the American people. The ambassador went on to London, arriving there without any demonstration. Shortly afterward it was announced that Mr, Bayard had accepted an invita- tion to dine with the Cobden club, the well known free trade organization, It was the first movement in the Brit- ish capital to honor the American ambassador and he appears to have fallen in with it without the least reflection. This was a mistake, due, it may be, to ignorance of the pres- ent standing of the club, for it seems that it has long since fallen into disre- pute and derision, Aceording to trust- worthy report its more eminent mem- bers have left the club alone. Its in- fluence has declined and the dogma it represents is in decay. Porhaps if My, Bayard had known theso things he would have declined the invitation to dine as promptly as he aceepted it, but he did not wait to inguire. What he undoubtedly did know, however, was that the Cobden club has always been hostile to America and the American policy, and this should have been sufil- clent, regardless of the present standing of that organization, to have led him to decline its proffered entertainment at lflu inception of his diplomatic duties. It is pertinently asked, why should an American ambassador lend his name and influence to an anti American association? There can be no excuso or justification for his doing so. Mr. Bayard is unguestionably in s pathy with the economic priunciples which the Cobden club represents, but ho was not sent to England to discuss economic quostions, or to either depre- ciate the cause of protection or pro- mote that of froe trade. His mission is purely and solely diplomatic. A man of Mr. Bayard's long experience in publie lifo ought to have pramptly pereeived the impropriety of allowing himself, as, an ambassador representing all the pooplo of the United States, o bo identified in any respect with such an association as the extreme free trade Cobden club. It is not merely a reflection on his judg- ment. It shows all too plainly his will- ingness to become under any circum- stances an instrument to aid in striking down the American policy of protection. AN IMPORT. NCEMENT. THE BEE presents to the country the first authentic declaration on the part of Mgr. Satolli, the accredited repre- sentative of Pope Leo XTIL., on the re- lations of the Catholic church to public schools and parochial schools, as enunci- ated in the forthcoming encyelical from the Roman pontiff. While the state- ment made by Mgr. Satolli is neces- sarily brief it embodies the vital points in which the American people, and especially members of thé Catholic chureh, are concerned. Incidentally we are also able in this connection to present what may be considered a semi- official vindication of Arehbishop Ire- land’s views as to the attitude which American eitizens of the Roman Catholic church maintain toward the American school system. It will be highly grati- fying to the fricnds of education that the ban against tho public schools has been revoked and a liberal policy is about to be enunciated that will tend to largely reconcile the clements of our population which have believed that Catholies as a body have been uncom- promisingly arrayed against our public school system. LIZZI% BORDEN ACQUITTED, Few criminal trials in this country have commanded a greater measure of public interest than that of Lizzie Borden at Fall Rives with having murdered her father and stepmother. There was an ex- traordinary mystery surrounding the double tragedy, and it is not improbable that it may remaina mystery forever. The murders took place in the forenoon, and probably within one or two hours of each other. Lizzis Borden and the sorvant girl were at home, and during nearly all of the forenoon were in the house, each performing certain duties. While they were thus moving about the premises the murders were com- mitted. Assoon as discovered, which was but a very short time aftor Mr., Bor- den was killed, his wife having been murdered first, an alarm was given and the police called in. They made a most thorough search of the premises and found nothing to seriously implicate its occupants, nor were there any traces of an escaped murderer. ‘It was a most perplexing and baflling case, but it was necessavy for the police to do something and they managed to get together enough circumstantial evidence of a very weak kind to warrant the arrest of Lizzie Borden. She was known to be on mnot very friendly terms with her stopmother and there was some family disagreement as to the disposal of property, circum- stances which gave color to the suspicion that Miss Lizzie was the guilty party. ‘Without going into details, which are familiar to everybody who has taken an interest in this remarkable case, it is to be remarked that the trial was most carefully conducted before a bench of three able judges and an xceptionally intelligent jury. The prosecution was given every latitude consistent with o just regard for the rights of the accused, and so anxions was it vo conviet that it made at least one attempt to override those righ The evidence was widely and extensively published, and has beon read by millions of people, very few of whom, we have no doubt, will fail to ap- prove the verdict of the jury. There can be no question that the prosecution utterly failed to make a case sufficient to warrant a reasonable doubt as to the innocence of the accused, and her re- lease from the long and terrible ordeal to which she has been susjected will be universally gratifying. THE HOME RULE STRUGGLE. The Irish members of Parliament are reported as growing restive under the slow progress of the home rule bill, due to persistent tory obstruction, and vexed at Mr. Gladstone'’s occasional yielding to tory demands in the form of amend- ments. “If he wishes to count our votes,” Mr. Sexton said recently, ‘he must give us somoething to vote for, If tory ideas are permitted to govern, home-rule in Treland will be a mockery and a fraud. Grattan's Parliament was at least representative.” M. Sexton, be it remembered, repre- sents the sentiments of the less extreme or anti-Parnellite section of the Irvish party. The more advanced, or Parnell- ite element, both in and out of Parlia- ment, looking at the Gladstone measure as a sort of half loal which is better than no bread, is at the present st: of the game keeping its opinion cave- | fully suppressed. It is only in this country that it receives any public ex- pression, and that but ravely; for even at this distance the wonderful discipline which the Irish people have attained to in relation to the home rule question is also manifested in the prolonged hush with which they wateh the parlia- mentary battle and await its decision. They have been taught to believe, and not withoat good reason, that nothing that the noncombatants can do now can affect the outcome of the parliamentary etruggle, while talk might only tend to hurt the prospects of the bill, But that the Irish people, neverthe- less, ave losing patience at the snail-like movemwent of the home rule bill toward @ vote is a conclusion which may be taken for a fauct. The silence of their representatives in Parliament under the Mass., charged | taunts and misrepresentations of their enemies on, th or has been simply marvellous. Tl held their tongues in order not to dffay the progress of a measuro so dear to their heart. But it is a still severertrial of temper and pa- tience to see tha) biil, notwithstanding, make hardly anyidperceptible advance. Says Mr. Sextan: ‘“The econstituency which I represent,;like the rest of Ire land, demands expadition. At the pres- ent rate the bill will not pass the Com- mons this sessiot.”| And yet, aftes gll this inch-by-inch contesting and yiolence of temper and waste of time with which the introduc- tion of the home rule bill has been thus far attended, it is but natural to contrast Mr. Parnell's demands with the pro- visions of this measure. The Gladstone bill is & very emasculated product com- pared with the schemo of Irish self-gov- ernment. which Mr. Parnell had in mind, and for which the irish poole have stood like a rock sinee they recovered their mental balance after the shock of the corruptly-made legisla- tive union. Mr. Parnell, at the time of his last visit to this country, declared that any home rule measure which did not give Ireland the power to regulate her commerce by tariff would be of no practical benefit to her. Mr. Parnell a few years previously had made this demand in his famous speech at Wexford. Grattan's Parliament, which was annihilated by the act of union in the year 1800, possessed this tariff power. If it had not it might not have been overthrown, for without it Ireland eould not have come into indus- trial rivaley with England. The Glad- stone bill is very careful to expressly leave out this power. Parnell saw that the one thing which Ireland needed above all else was the encouragement and upbuilding of manu- factuves, to the end that her population, as was the case during the prosperous eighteen years of Grattan's Parliament, might have some employment furnished it besides what was afforded by agricul- ture. Then the Irish land question, like the American land question or the Eng- lish land question, would regulate itself. The two parties to the present strug- gle in Parliamont know well what they are about, and each infers the motives of the other. That is what makes the struggle so fierce and so intense. The Irish are contending for the passage of Mr. Gladstone's bill as not final, by any means, but merely=as a step in the di- rection of the natit aspiration. The tories and their al , the liberal union- ists, the latter Spécially representing the Inglish wmuaufacturing inter- est, are not opposing the present harmless little Bill for its own sake, but, as Joseph Chamberlain incidentally let drop the other! day, on account of their belief that the imperial tariff power would be éndangered by its passage. The lnmp'unn see that when the provisions of the'bill come to be put into operation theywould not long stand comparison with the powers exercised by the last Irish Pafliament, and would only lead to new demands, which would then bo -all the more difficult to resist. The same fact serves as the basis for the hopes of the Irish and the fears of the unionists; namely, that they each look upon the Gladstone bill as an entering- wedge. THE pineries of Arkansas and Texas ave producing more lumber than ever. Considerable activity is also reported in the timber sections of south Missouri, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida. From the amount of snw mill machinery ordered it is argued that the output in the entire southwest this year will sur- s that of any preceding. This com- ition with the enormous production now accumulating in the northwest should keep lumber down to a reason- ablo price, notwithstanding the con- stantly increasing demand. And it would, with reasonable freight rates and the determination of lumbermen to deal fairly by the public and keep . sh- out the combine, to put an artificial price on the commodity. As itis, we suppose the people must bear the pen- alty of dalliance with railroad combines and trust monopolies. For instance, the shingle manufacturers of Washington and Oregon are now organizing a manu- facturers association for the ‘“better- ment of prices.” It is likely that, fol- lowing the example set them by the coal combination in the east, they will shut down for a time in order to lessen the product on hand, and to stimulate the demand at such pricos as they may determine to place on their product. GENERAL ALGER'S sensible talk on the pension business will commend itself to overy thinking man in the country. Instead of blasting the administration with several kinds of palsy, as did the historic Fairchild, he candidly admits that he has seen nothing that indicates a hostile fecling to the veterans of the union who are entitled to pensions. Gen- oral Alger does not hesitate to declare himself in favor of a gomplete investiga- tion of the pension xolls, When Grand Army veterans as ‘eifinent as General Alger talk in this vein there is but little excuse for the frenzy of the politicians who are declaring so vociferousiy against pension reform. ¢ Not Al Nebrasisa €1 .

A shrinkage of $250,000,000 in the value of the wheat and corn crops of a single year at present prices, as_compared with those cur- rent twelve mouths ago. is a matter that comes home to every farmer, and in the light of current events it must bo very difti- cult for any silver sophist to conceal the ob- vious fact that this reciation is due to the disturbance of the currency. the appre- hension, distrust and c tion of credits. g ot Hopeful Signs. New Yors Evening Post, The most encouraging feature of the finan- cial situation is the fast-growing body of eyi- dence that the silver craze has run its course, and that the popular demand for the repeal of the Sherman law is rapidly becom- ing irresistible. This-gratify ngo is clearly illustrated not ouly by the tone of the press, but also by tho attitude of busi- ness men iu those partsof the country where the lunacy used to be most prevalent and violent. ey Nebraska Is in It, Chicago Herald. Arkansas, Indiana and Ne- sraska will have joint possession of the fair today and if the weathor is favorable tho crowd in attendunce will probably be the largest since the exposition opened.

The reasou given for the remo , who was a chief of di sury department, was that Mr. Carlisle desired to fill the vacancy with as good a democrat as Mr. osvenor was a republican, To this onel Dan” responded that such an indi- vidual would be “d——d hard to find.” The man has been found, however, and s ap- pointment develops an dence. The new man's name me of the man who G 1 when he was appointed w: angum was a member of Forrest's Confederate caval In scouting near Rome, Ga., he ran into and captured a Federal command. In it was Grosvenor, who was exchanged in a few days. In May of the same year in doing some scouting on his own account Grosvenor cap- tured a Confederate command in which was Combs. Thus Mangum captured Grosvenor, and Grosvenor captured Mangum’s oftice. Then Grosvenor captured Combs, and Combs captured Grosvenor's office, nnd it is ad- mitted by all that turn about is fair play. S B SN BACEKED DOWN AGAIN. Hayes & Sons of Clevelund Refuse Omnha’s Grading Bonds. N. W. Hayes & Son, the bond brokers of Cleveland, O., have refused to take the bonds the firm recently contracted for with City Treasurer Bolin. The treasurer pro- nounces the objections and claims of the firm as simply a clever bit of diplomacy to escape fulfilling the terms of the contract entered into with the city. The bonds purchased grading bonds of the city in the amount of 77,000, bearing 5 per cent intevest. When the bids for them were opened Hayes & Son wero found to have submitted the best propo- ition, and they secured the bonds. Tne bid 1 that the bonds would be taken at par, with a premium of §1,731 and accrued in- terest. The contract was entered into and o certiied check for $5,000 was deposited as an evidence of good faith. One- d of the bonds were to have been delivered vhe 1st of July, and the other two- thirds on tho 1st of August and September respectively. As the time is rapidly draw- ing near for the first delivery, and as the money market is depressed, Hayes & Son make what Mr. Bolln considers a very flimsy claim. The firm now contends that the ac- crued interest does not go to the city, but to iself. The treasurer has understood all along that the accrued interest, which will amount to about $700, is saved to tho city. and does not go to the firm. He so construes the bid, as does City Attorney Connell. No question is raised as to irregularity in issu- ing the bonds, and tho firm scems satisfied that everything is straight and lezal. Treasurer Bolln has corresponded with were short time the firm, Ana the refusal to per terest to bo saved to the city h overcome, After a consultation with the city attornoy the conclusion was reached that the bost thing to be done was to take 8topa to recover the amount of the ocertitied check, and advertiso the bonds for sale. Mr. Bolln considers it a waste of time to corrospond further with the firm, And as the money will be required in a short time tho bonds must be sold soon. He has forwarded the $5,000 check to Cleveland for collection, and in doing o ho says that bond purchasers must understand that when they bargmn for Omaha securitios the terms of the con: tract must be lived up to m every par: ticular. - NEBRASKA AND NEBRASKANS.
