CONGRESSMAN BRYAN has not been overlooked in the recent discussion of the silver question. His published ut- terances indicate that he will be one of the unvuly members of Mr. Cleveland’s congressional household THE mere announcement that congress will convene in August has had a stimu- lating effect uponall lines of business. Business men show an increased -confi- dence in the situation and a more hope- ful sentiment prevails in every part of the country. THE fact that Collector Peters of the internal revenue department held his office for four years and accounted satis- factorily for every cent that passed through his hands should occasion no special comment. ‘'Mr, Peters simply did his duty. SOUTH OMAHA received more cattle Saturday than Chicago. The Meceipts of cattle at this western market also show heavy gains over last week and over the the corresponding week of a year ago. Tho importance of South Omaba as a cattle market is rapidly be- soming recognized all over the west. —_— THE close of June completed one-third of the World's fair term. The total at- tendance to date was 3,723,579, of which fully two-thirds was during last month, a daily average of about 100,000, If this ratio continues, and there is no reason “to doubt that it will, there will be no question as to the financial success of thie exposition SENATOR PEFFER tells the inter- viewer that India’s acticn in demonetiz- ing silver is just in line with a tendency that has been manifest for some time, Ho feels that we ave drifting surely toward the gold standard and ‘‘gaining upon the disastrous end with increasing momentum.” The senator is miffed at India's action, and he declares that it proves ‘“the millionaires and money- sharks of the old world are in co-partner- ship with the moaey-lenders and monop- olists of Wall street.” What driveling nonsense to come from a United States senator. IT APPEARS that a grave mistake was made by the treasury bureau in com- piling the statistics of imports. The values given the imports were in tho MBurreney of the country where the goods were bought. Insome South American countries, like Brazil and Argentina, the currency is greatly depreciated. Place the prices on a gold basis, as they should be for comparison, and a differ- ence of millions is made in the figures. When the compilations are corrected sonsiderably 1 discrepancy will ap- sear between the imports and exports wder the reciprocity treaties. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, JULY 3, 1893 AN TO RESPONSIBILITY. Nothing will be galned by intruding partisanship into the discussion of the financial situation, The serious prob- lem that confronts the country must be dealt with wholly upon practical lines, with which politics can properly have nothing to do. The democratic organs are therefore making a grave mistake in their attempt to place the whole re- sponsibility for the existing situation upon the republicans, particularly with reference to the relations of the silver purchase law to the present financial conditions. As everybody ought to know who has paid any atten- tion to this subject the so-called Sherman law was a compromise. A financial bill prepared by Mr, Windom, secretary, of the treasury, was intro- duced in the Fifty-first congress and passed the house, after the failure of an attempt to have substituted for it a bill for the free ocoinage of silver. The measure went to the senate, whero & free coinage bill was substituted and passed. The votes in both houses showed a very large majority of the democrats to be in favor of free coinage. The bill passed by the senate was de- feated in the house, alter a prolonged strugglo, only twenty-two democrats voting against it. Both the house and the scnate bills were then sent to a conference committee, which finally reported the Sherman act as it now stands. Efforts made in the last con- gress looking to the repeal of the silver purchase law were defeated by the demo- crats, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Cleveland exerted all his influence with his partisans in behalf of repeal. The simple truth is that in both the Fiftieth and Fifty-first congresses a large major- ity of the demccrats were for free coinage. The democratic party cannot possibly escape from this record. It is also a mistake on the part of republicans to charge the responsibility for the financial and commercial distrust upon the present administration. It is doubtless true that the radical changes in the ficeal policy of the country threatencd by the demoeratic party and the want of conndence in financial and business circles in the ability ot that party to give the country a wise mon- otary policy, have had an influence in producing the existing conditions, but it is only fair to say that the real causes existed before the present administra- n came into power. The inflated cap- italization of the trusts and the reckless expansion of credits were prevalent con- ditions created long prior even to the election of Cleveland, and these have had chiefly to do with producing the disturbance and depression through which the country is now passing. It is not to be doubted that were the admin- istration republican instead of demo- cratic the situation would not be ma- torially different. Possibly confidonce would not have been quite so severely shaken had the republican pacty been successful in the last presidential elec- tion, but it is entirely evident that a condition had been reached in the finan- cial and business affairs of the country which rendered a change inevitable and which a different political result in 1892 could not have averted, though it might have somewhat . mitigated the conse- quences. It ought to be obvious to men of all parties that partisan recrvimination can do no possible good in the present con- tingeney and may do much harm. Tho demand is for the highest order of prac- tical statesmanship, for sound common sense and for that patriotism which de- sives the general good. There is no call or justification for the exercise ot par- tisanship, or for the exhibition of sec- tional prejudic HONORING A NaVal HERO. One of the great names in the naval history of the United States—perhaps it should be said of the world—is that of David G. Farragut, the hero of New Orleans and Mobile. In the illustrious galaxy of naval commanders whose deeds have given the American navy a distinguished place in the history of mavritime warfare none is more eminent than the modegt and intrepid admiral whose services in the war of the re- bellion were of the highest value and importance to the union cause. The world is not accustomed to paying its highest honors to those who do battle on the seas. In every land the successful commanders of armies have alwavs received the greatest tributes of popular applause and national honor, The naval heroes of England do not shard equally with the greatest soldiers the homage of the people and the same is true of the other European nations. America is not different, and while this people is not forgetful of the achievements of Far- ragut and Foote, they are overshadowed in the popular mind by those of Grant and Sherman and Sheridan, There was unveiled in Boston last Wednesday o statue to Farragut, and the occasion was a memorable cne even for that city, The address was delivered by Ex-Governor Rico of Massgchusetts, and was a most eloquent tribute to the sorvices of the distinguished admiral. Farragut was of pure Spanish blood, one of his ancestors having been distin- guished as an admiral in the navy of Spain in the thirteenth century. The father of David G. Farragut came to this country early in the revolution, and served galluntly through the entire con- flict. Farragut was commissioned as midshipman in the American navy be- fore he was nine years old, and in 1812, when he was but eleven ycars old, he served on the lssex and par- ticipated in some of the most desperate battles ever fought upon the ocean. His own diary recorded the fact that in the memorable fight between the Essex and the British vessels he per- formed the duties of captain's aid, quarter gunner, powder boy, and what- over else was required of him, giving ovidence at that early age of his heroic qualities. When the rebellion broke out the influences surrounding Farragut were such as might have led a less loyal and conscientious man to take sides against the government, but he never for a moment hésitated as to his duty to cast his lot with the union, and he was of very great service in the work of providing a naval forco. What he did at Now Orleans and at Mobile ought to be fami'iar history to every school boy, and the value of these achievements to the union cause it would be impossible to overestimate. The personal characteristios of Ad- miral Farragut were not less admirable than his qualities as anaval commander. A devout, though not a demonstrative Christian, he was always, said Governor Rice, hopeful, generous, trustful and self-reliant.” As a man he was dignified and self-possessed, proud of the services rendered to his conntry, but the incar- nation of modesty. ‘‘There was not the slightest condescension in his bearing; he had nothing of the austere manner- ism of men who are great (or think they are) in little things, but all his inter- course was frank, cordial and sincere Thus in all respects David G. Farragut was a man worthy to be honored by his countrymen and to have his memory perpetuated as a citizen and a hero whose example in every way is worthy of emulation.” THE OUTLOOK FOR EXPORTS. The exports of grain during the last two months have been exceptionally large for this season of the yoar, and the reports regarding the discouraging condition of the European crops indicate & vigorous demand for American bread- stuffs throughout the season. it is stated that all the available ocean-going tonnage is now under charter for this purpose and the grain exporting houses are looking for more. A dispatch from London of a week ago stated that the fields of England, France and Germany are brown instead of green, due to the long continued drouth, and that most crops were beyond saving. There has been rainfall since this report, but it does not seem to have improved the situation to any important extent. A dispatch from Berlin of a fow days ago stated that in consequence of the scarcity of hay, maize and fodders the government intends to prohibit the export of these articles. Hay is selling atan unprecedented price in England and heavy shipments have been made from this country. The high tariffs of European countries on fodder and simi- lar articles have been suspended tem- porarily. It thus appears that while the demand for American wheat and flour this yedr promises to be large, the prospect is also favorable for increased exports of corn. There is another interesting feature of the situation. The scarcity and high price of food for animals has caused an unusual number to be killed, so that all kinds of fresh meat are selling at the lowest prices ever known. This must result sooner or later in a scarcity of meats, and consequently an enlarged de- mand upon this country. Taken alto- gether, therefore, the outdook seems ox- tremely favorablo for an extensive export movement from the United States for months to come, only limited, it may be, by our ability to meet it from sur- plus products. It is judicious not to count too confi- dently upon a foreign market, expori- ence having shown that it is easy to overestimate the possibilities in this direction, but if the promise now held out should be realized it would have a most important effect upon the financial situation. . If for the.next six months we should reverse the trade movement of the last six and sell Europe more than we buy one of the most serious dif- ficulties in the monetary situation would be removed. At any rato the prospect as to exports can be viewed by the agr cultural producers of America with sat- isfaction. THE decision of the state supreme court defining the rights of Indians who have severed their tribal relations and taken lands in severalty as citizens of the state, handed down on Thursday last, is in accord with a number of opinions in the courts of other states and in the United States courts. Only afew days ago the federal court ren- dered a similar opinion in a similar case, where the rights of the Puyallup In- dians, who had taken their lands in sev- eralty, were in question. It establishes the fact clearly that when an Indian has accepted an allotment of land from the government, taken possession thereof and otherwise complied with the law of 1887, providing for the allotment of lands in severalty to the Indians on the various reservations, he becomes entitled to his patent and his citizenship attaches with all the rights that pertain thereto. Even the actual issuance or receipt by an Indian of the patent for the lands allotted to him under the act is not necessary to consti- tute him a citizen of the United States. The provisions of this law are so clearly defined that it seems strange anyone should attempt to question its constitu- tionality or the rights of Indians under it. Decision after decision sustains its validity, and yet theso naturalized citi- zons ave constantly harrassed by being called into the courts to establish their citizenship and defend their rights thereunder, The Sioux Indians in South Dakota, as well as the Indians on the reservations in the wvarious states, who have taken up lands, ave in the same position as such Indians in Ne- braska. This decision puts an end to such legislation in this state and will go far to exact the recognition of the rights of these new citizens ih other sections, FoR the information of those whom it may concern Commander-in-Chief Wei- sert of the Grand Army of the Republic wishes it understood that he never was @ general in the army, never was a gen- eral in the militia, and that his present position gives him no such title. His actual rank when mustered out of the volunteer service on account of disabil- ity from wounds was sergeant major, As that is not a convenient title to handle, if those who address the com- mander will either 80 nominate him or lay aside all titles, the consideration will doubtless be appreciated. Com- mander Weisert was too good a soldier to masquerade at this distance from the war with a rank whose insignia he never wore. THE method pursued in assessing banks is fundamentally wrong. Under the system adopted some years ago our bankers are virtually their own asses- sors. They make & return to the com- missioners and place a value on their own stocks. It is an open secret that five or six of these lanks act in concert in computing theit' Yaxable assots on & basis agroed upon among themselves. No other class of taxpayers would be permitted to cnmh!hh{:xd fix property valuations by pre¢ieh agreement. So long as such favoritism continues there will be general diseatigfaction with our revenue laws and system of local taxa- tion. The great mass of taxpayers will insist that the burdénd shall ve cqually distributed on ths “property of the banker, the merchiint, the manufacturer and wage-worker.

Tt is a curious, but an actual, fact that this way of referring to congress makes Mr, Cleveland intensely unpopular among con- gressmen. His use of the first person singu- lar is most unfortunate. Perhaps he means nothing by it, but the effect 1s nono the less general because of his innocent intentions. Deflnition of a Cleveland Democrat. Loutsville Cowrier-Journal, Every once in a while we see in some bandy-shanked newspaper of the bow-legged species the term ‘“a Cleveland democrat.” One would naturally suppose that all of us who are democrats are Cleveland democrats, assuming Mr. Cleveland to be a democratic resident and the oficial head of the party. 3ut “a Cleveland democrat! par excellence, what is he?

The mingling of blue and gray is a_very pretty idea, but in practical operation it has proved too expensive to the blue. To bring about these amicable conditions the tendency of the press has becn to belittle the blue, so a8 not to offend the gray, until the public has commenced to think the blue did very little after all, and that the small debt has been paid long ago. In fact, there is so much gray in the sky at"Washington and other sections that a speckof blue sky would be appreciated for a change. An old union veteran might almost ask himself: “Was that war a dream, and did I serve four years in the armies of the union or not? Was it our side by whom the old flag was carried, and did we saye the nation? It must be a’ mistake; the nfen we fought wore gray, and they are honored and appiauded as much as are we who wore the blue.” A A Straw In the Trade Wind, Globe-Democrat . That approaching importation of gold can hardly last long, as this is too early for the tide to turn permanently in our direction, Moreover, the balance of trade is stili against us. It 1 true, of course, that there is no such direct connection betwoen our foreign trado and the gold movement as i popularly imngined, for gold sometimes goo s out in large amounts when the merchundise balance is favorable, and occasionally, for a while, comes 1n in considerable sums ‘when the balance is adverse.

New Yo Tribune. Surgeon General Wyman takes a decidedly hoveful view regaraing the likelihood of cholera coming to the country this year. He thinks we have an even chance of escaping it altogether, and that if it broaks out it will not become epidemic, because of the facilitics which exist for dealing with it ina general way and likewise because of the improved methods of treatmen’ which will be adopted in individual cates.

It may interest the plucked brethern in Nebraska to learn that the hoosiers did not go into ecstacies over the proposition of Edward O. Lamphere to honor certificates for the 50 cents on the $1. The conference agreed on one thing—that the outlook for a fair deal was distressingly dubious. Several years ago Edward Pollock, son of a New York millionaire, wooed and married his mother’s maid. She was fair to look upon, moderately accomplished and a model of propriety. Bub she was poor in pocket and socially. Therefore Pollock pere de- cided to put her out of the way.

Tt appears by a dispatch from Manchoster that many business men in that great British trade center fear that ‘‘the mereasing diver- gence of value between the rupee and silyer will ultimately break down the official basis on which it is sought to give ita gold value. This dread has a good reasen for being, and at the same time it foresiadows a contin- geney fraught with important consequences for the United States, England and the rest of the world, The “oficial basis” of the value of the rupee mentioned is the oxchange rate of 33 cents which the British government has put upon that coin. The silver in the coin is today worth in the market only about 25 cents, und the tendenoy is rapidly down- ward. Demonetization of silver in the United States would send it down further. Then England would bave the task pre- sented to her of preserving an established parity between gold and this silver coin on a steadily falling market for the latter. Could she, or would' she, perform this task? Hardly, 3 Here is the opportunity for the Unitéd Stales to secure an_international remoneti- zation of silver. The United States must stop silyer purchases at the earliost possible moment. It is compelled to do this irre- spective altogether of the contingent influ- ence of this policy on Great Britair in favor of the establishment of an international ratio between gold and silver. An early suspension of all silver purchases whatever by the government is imperative if the sil- ver element of the currency is to be held up to a par with gold. The immediate offcct of suspension would be to make tho silver portion of the circulating medium stationary and to increase the gold portion both relatively and absolutely, for the disappoarance of the silver menace would bring back from Europe much of the gold which the silver dilution of the cur- sent out The ultimate effect, would be to raise up difiiculties to England which would compel that country, in her own in- terest, to join with the double standard nations in staying the downward course of silver and in averting the disastrous effect on international trade which this state of things would produce, "The United States, that is to say, has now a chance to force an international agree- ment regarding silver which will solve this problem for many years to come. England all along has been the chief stumbling block 10 an arrangement of this sort, and England, to proteot hor interests In India, as well as 10 save hor citizens at home who have deal Ings with India, or who re In any way con: corned in the trade with that lity, will ba compelled to move for a congress of the natlons to avert the perils which a continned fall in silver would procipitate.
