FROM the tone of his letter Senator Hill evidently imagined that Tammany's colobration of the Fourth of July was some kind of a democratic convention. His partisan utterances were in marked contrast to the broader and more digni- fied views exprossed by President Cleve- land. THE contest over the prohibition question in the forthcoming republican state convention in Towa will be watehed with interest by men of all parties In this state. Tt is to be hoped that the Towarepublicans will cut asunder all ties that have bound them to the policy of prohibition Now that the festive Omaha footpad has added target practice to his list of midnight accomplishments, 1t stands pvery citizen in good stead to provide himself with a Gatling gun when com- pelled to be out late at night. When the citizens begin to shoot the footpads the business will become unpopular. A ©nIST of sixty editors who have been appointed to office by the present admin- fstration has just been published. But while these offices range from a cabinet portfolio down to a postoffice none of their occupants ever became popularly known on account of th efforts or the prominence of their news- papers. PARTISAN politics do not play a very prominent part in the organization of the German Keichstag, as is evinced by the proposed distribution of the offices. Herr von Levetszow, conservative, be- comes president; Baron von Buel Bron- borg, elerical, first vice president; Prof. Marquadsen, national liberal, second vice president. Marquadsen is the edi- tor of the standard handbook on public law. GENERAL MANAGER HOLDREGE of the Burlington & Missourl railway thinks that the city has been estopped by a contract entered into in 1886 from ordering new viaducts or demanding the reconstruction of old ones without the consent of the railway officials. If Mr. Holdrege's views prove sound no fur- ther viaducts will ever be built in this city wherever the railways can with- hold their consent. STUDENTS as a class may have drawn upon themsclves a certain odium by reason of theiv frequent hilarious cele- brations, yet much of the disorderly conduct attributed to them is in reality ~due to outsiders who attach themselves to the student body. That this is again the case in the presentoutbreak in Paris is demonstrated by the veport that not more than 16 per cent of the rioters are students in fact as well as in name. THERE is not much independence to spare within the black walls of the state penitentiary, but the warden and the conviets seomed to enter fully into the spirit of Indevendence day. A minstrel performance by “home talent” is not often scen in a state's prison, and cor- tainly is not in harmony with a conviet's surroundings. But the celebration of the great day arranged by Warden Beemer may have a benignant effect upon his wards. They ought to be the better for it. THE corrected treasury roport reduces the balance of trade against the United States for the last fiscal year to only about 840,000,000, It was reported to be $80,000,000, The ervor grew out of the fact that some of the imports had been invoiced on the depreciated paper of the countries from whence they came. For instance, the coffee imported from Bra- zil cost the United States in gold money millions less than the value assigned to it in the table of imports. The depart- ment has issued instructions requiring importers horeafter to present inv: ices showing the gold value of their imports. ~ S —— THE REPUBLICAN ATTITUDE. Senator Sherman sald in a recent in- THE Tuly just passed. People have simply assiimed that no such regulation existod terview, in which he announced that ho | and the police authorities have utterly would vote for the repeal of the silver | failed to carry out its provisions. purchase clause of the law that bears his name, that he had informed the president and the secretary of the trensury that he will stand with thom for & sound, safe, stable ocurrency. Other prominent republicans have given a like assurance, Some time ago Sen- ator Hoar of Massachusetts, in an ad- dress before the Commereial olub of Bos- ton, said in reference to the republican attitude: - “Mr. Cloveland's administra- tion will find no factious opposition. We stand by our principles. We do not for a moment admit that great ques- tions of justice or of expediency can be sottled in a singlo year, or can bo doter- mined by a singlo show of hands. But we will stay and support the arm of the president of the United States in all honest and lawful ways.” Referring to the question of sound money the Massa- chusetts senator, who has the right to spoak for his party, further sald: “The prosident and the secretary of the treas- ury should find, and I believe find, no stronger support and no safer counsel this most important subject thdin among the leaders of the party with whom they differ politically.” These utterances have been approved by the republican press of tho eountry and thoy represent the sentiment of the masses of the party. It is not from the ropublicans in con-’ gress that the administration will on- counter opposition or obstruction to its efforts to improve the financial situation and to place the currency on a sound and safs basis. Tne men who are threatening to antagonize the policy of the president re- garding silver, and if possible ) defea’ it, ave members of the admin- istration party. The most laborious and difficalt task which the administration hias had thus far is that of endeave to ¢ mvert democrats its financial vievs. As was said by Senator Sher- man in the interview alrcady refe to, Mr. Cloveland, in opposing silver, is fighting three-fourths of his party. | Nobody knows this better than the | president himsell, and while the eostly objuct lesson of distress and panic has doubtless influencod some members of the administration par to fall into line with it regarding silver the policy it proposes cannot bo successful in either the houso or the senato without republican support. It | is to the republicans in congress that the administration must ook to sustain its efforts to restore confidence by plac- ing the currency on asound, safe and | stable bas It is fortunate for the country that the democratic majority is | not as great in the present congress as in the last, when a motion to consider the repeal of the silver purchase law was dofeatod in a house ovorwhelmingly democratic by a vote of 142 ayes to 152 noes—l107 democratic votes being re- corded acainst repeal. There is every reason to expect that a large majority of the republicans in the Fifty-third congress will be found in favor of the repcal of the silver pur- chase act, or at any rate the vital clause of it which rejuires the treasury to buy monthly 4,500,000 ounces of silver, and that they will 80 vote. But they will not support as a condition of repeal th moval of the tax on state bank isst which 1t is understood the administra- | tion‘is prepared to favor, and thus open the way for a restoration of the old state wildeat money. Such a remedy would be worse than the disease, and if the jarty in control of the gov- ernment can oler or accept no other and better plan for sup- plying a currency the republicans in | congress will be justified in opposing any change. Tho republican party has always stood firmly for a sound and stable currency. During the period in which it controlled the financial policy of the country we have had such a cur- rency. lts attitude in this respect has not changed, and the party can be de- pended upon to keep its financial record unimpaired and untarnished. on ing 0 ne AVOIDABLE ACCIDENTS. The annual recurrence of Independ- ence day brings with it a series of d tressing aceidents vesulting from negli- gence for which no possible excuse can pe offered. The number of fatal catas- trophes this year has been marked throughout the wholo country. In Omahu"it has been particularly large and indicates a spirit of recklessness which is dangerous to life and proporty. 1t is impossible for any rational person to view this incalculuble loss as alto- gether unavoidable. While it is per- haps true that accidents will often hap- pen in spite of the greatest precaution, the exercise of a little prudence or com- mon sense on the part of those celebrat- ing the Fourth would remove the causes of many a calamity, There are numerous ways for a man to show his joy at the birth of the re- public. . Some of these are reasonable and appropriate. Others are senscless and almost criminally culpuble. 1spe- cially in large cities do we find that the density of population and the proximity of houses to one another demand that some restrictions be placed upon the un- limited license to set off fireworks. Cer- tain pyrotechnic displays are altogether harmless in themselves and if conducted by competent persons can oceasion no serious objections, But to allow the in- diseriminute use of loaded firearms, to entrust cannon crackers to small boys to scatter firebrands in the midst of frame buildings is simply inviting ac- cident and ought to be suppressed by the city authorities. The latter have ample power vested in them for this purpose by the ordinances now in force in this city. Sectlon 20 of chapter 42 reads: Ifany person shall unnocessarily dis churge any firearm, or shoot off any fire cracker, or other fireworks, orshall light or tiwow any five ball or eracker in said city, without permission of the mayor, such per- sou 30 doing sball, on conviction thereof, ba fined in any sum not exceeding §20. The city council may by resolution suspend the operation of the abdve provision of this sec- tion ou the Fourth of July or any other day of public rejoicing. No onie has heard of any one applying to the mayor for permission to make a | very mueh It may belate to call attention to this fact at the present moment after the acci- dents have occurred. Yet it is well that the responsibility shonld be placed where it bolongs. The council should never suspend that part of the ordinance relating to the discharge of firearms, and they should call upon the police to explain why they have not arrested all who have unnecessarily fired guns or re- volvars, Only in this way can they be brought to a sense of duty and induced to prevent the useless loss of life in the future. THE TAMMANY CELEBRATION. The features in connection with the celebration of anniversary of inde- pendence by the Tummany society which will attract most attention are the epis- tolary utterances of President Cleveland and Senator Hill. As everybody knows there is no feeling of personal cordiality bepween these distinguished democratic leaders, and it has been quite generally understood that there is little harmony in their views as to the policies which the party should adopt, and particularly the financial policy. Some light upon this may be gained by a careful reading of the letter of Senator Hill. The letter of Mr. Cleveland is not very striking. It is brief for such an occasion and seems rather perfunctory. What it says is sufliciently well said, but it lacks the spirit and virility to make a strong impression. It is somewhat platitudin- ous, and there isabsont from it anything like a timely keynote, such as it*would seem the existing conditions should have inspired. But Mr. Cleveland is not in very hearty sympathy with Tammany and besides he has a grentdeal to ocoupy his attention, considerations which will sufticiently explain why he did not make his contribution to the literature of In- dependence day move olaborate and impressive. The letter of Senator Hill isnot much more extended, but it is more pointed and vigorous. It veally contains something in the na- ture of a ‘‘keynote,” and it is one that _will steike- melodiously upon the ear of the president. No reading between the lines of the senator’s lotter is necossary to discover that he intended to rebuke the president tor not having sooner scen the supreme importance of the finan- cial question and for having sought, until the realization of its pro- cedence forced upon him, to subord- inate it to the tariff. Neither can there Do any doubt of the purpose of Senator Hill to discredit the poliey of the ad- ministration regarding silver. He nly implics that that policy is ono of expediency only, and that it does not contemplate the establishment of a prominent financial tem. He in effect characterizes it as weak and vaceil- lating. The senator leaves no doubt as t5 his position, and indeed it has been known for some time. He is in favor of frco bimetallic coinage. He would re- | turn to<*‘the sound principles of our fathers” without any ‘“temporary ex- pedients and questionable compromises,” which means that he would have gold and silver coined at the mints on equal terms. Senator Hill is one of the democrats in congress whom the administration has to fear. He will vote for the repeal of the Sherman act, but he will insist that in abandoning the purchase of sil- ver by the goternment thero shall be legislation looking to giving that metal a larger recognition in the money of the country. He is w0 be reckoned among the firmest and most uncompromising champions of free coinage and as such he is very likely to prove troublesomo to the administration. The letter of Senator Hill to Tammany will not be read by Mr. Cleveland with unmixed satisfaction. THE OU1LOOK FOR INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLISM. President Andrews of Brown uni- versity, one of the recognized authori- ties in monetary matters and an ardent advocate of international bimetallism, has had the boldness to oppose the free and unlimited coinage of silver in Colo- rado itself, the very stronghold of the silverites. President Andrews is a dele- gate to the international monetary con- ference and worked hurd last winter to induce the representatives of the Euro- pean countries to como to some agree- ment with the United Statos respecting the coinage laws. But he has no sym- pathy for the movement which seeks to have this country attempt to support the burden of silver depreciation alone and unaided. The adoption of freo coinage would of course drive gold to a premium and practically place us upon a silver basis. Once on a silver basis, the United States, ho thinks, would become the leader of the great silver using nations, but at the same time would be still fur- ther separated from commerce with the countries of continental Europe. The gain woald be problematical; the loss in- ovitable. As u consequence, President Andrews, in this Colorado Springs address of July 4, disparages any attempt to secure a free coinage law av present and returns to his first cnoice, namely, inter- national bimetallism. To securve this, he wants the immediate repeal of the Sherman silver purchase law in order to compel the BEuropean na- tions to come around to his way of think- ing. By dropping silver for the time being and joining in the struggle for gold,” he says, “'we shall precipitate in Burope another fall of prices so ag- gravated that the iost obdurate banker of Lombard street will have to admit that gold can- not be taken as the sole international money.” This might sound very well coming from some one other than Pres! dent Andrews, but it is not quite so charitable as we would be led to expect from a doetor of divinity and the head of a great university. If such an aggra- vated fall of prices were to be expected 10 result from ccasing to purchase silver for the United States treasury, we ought 10 act slowly and exhaust every possible means belore attempting to force Europe to an agreement by an industrial shock display of fiveworks. No ono has seen any resolution of the city council sus- pending this ordinance for the Fourth of which would necessarily react to our own injury. It seoms rather hasty to cenclude that OMAUA DAILY BE | the repeal of the Sherman silver pur- | chase aot will b such dlsastrons con- | sequences to Bhtopean Industry. Tt ! would undoubtedly remove an obstacle | that has boen hampering trade and com- meroe In this cdtfry and would restore | confidence fromy the very fact that a temporizing polioy, had given way to a ]‘ permanent plant... The return of confi- dence and a favorable turn in foreign trade might being the continental na- tions to a more yidlding attitude toward the wishes of tho United States, but to oxpect the speedy; consummation of an international monetary agreement,much bo desired, doos not seom war- ranted by the existing outlook WHO IS RE From all the information that we have been able to obtain concerning the post- ponement of the decision by the supreme court of the paving injunction case until the first week in Septomber we are con- vincod that the responsibility is wholly with the city attorney. When Mr. Con- nell entored into stipulation with the attorney employed by the asphalt con- tractor to permit a brief to be filed on Monday he certainly must have known that he was giving the city's case away. Mr. Connell knew that the court would adjourn its term on Monday and would not recon- vene until September. He knew that the court was willing to give its dovi- sion before it adjourned, providing the argumonts were all in before adjourn- ment. He knew that the effect of the stipalation with the attorney on the other side would be to put the case over, and thus paralyze public works in Omaha in the midst of a season of com- moreial depression. It also transpires that the justicos of the supreme court would gladly have sorved the interests of this city by hold- ing over another day if City Attorney Connell had made an application for such action. But Mr. Connell evi- dently desired otherwise, and he is justly responsible for the consequences. Whatever may be his private interests, his duty to the city and to the people of Omaha was plain. Mr. Conuell may have desired to postpone the paving of somo streets upon which he owns real estate, but that does not palliate the surrender of the city's interest NOT an insignificant practical result of the World's fair has already been to direct a new attention to the problem of an available waterway from Chicago to the Atlantic as well as to the Gulf of Mexico. A day or two ago a steam yacht of very light dvaught of course. arrived in that city direct from New Orleans. This vessol ascending the Mississippi, passed up the Illinois river and finally entered the Chicago river through the Illinvisand Michigan canal. The Spanish caravels are now making their way from the Atlantic coast through the St. Lawronco river and the lower lakes. There is also the viking ship coming the same route from Nor- way. The main drainage channel now being construeted will connect Chicago ith the Illinois viver, and as compara- tively small improvements would make the Illinois navigable for boats of ten or twelve feet draught, it is difficult to understand why the state or the people themselves do not got to work and com- pleto the enterprise instead of calling upon and waiting for the national goy- ernment to undertake the task. The problem of a waterway to the Atlantic, however, is a matter of more national import, and it is not surprising that Chicago has done nothing in that divec- tion. It should be looked to, however. Now that Mitchell and Corbett have signed an agreoment to fight before the Columbian Athletic club at Roby, Ind., for the world’s heavyweight champion- ship and a purse of $45,000, some of the Chicago papers are denouncing the leg- islature and governor of that state for the pernicious law that will prevent the authoritios from interfering. They point out that since Indiana has assumed to license prize fighting within her bor- ders, Chicago, in this instance, must bear the odium of its attendant evils. Roby iy just a few miles from the city across the state line, and the little In- diana village can only bo a meoting place while tho fight is going on. The complaint is that Chicago will be over- run with the disreputables that have be- come intolerable in New Orleans. What most forcibly strikes the impartial ob- server at this distance is this spasmodic exhibition of indignation against the presence of a disreputable olement in that city, and that she should insist In- diana must relieve her of the full bur- den of public.censure. The public had not supposed Chicago sensitive on the score of reputation. THAT the new German Parliament should be convened on the Fourth of July is undoubtedly a mere accident. [t is, however, significant as an evidenco of constitutionalism. Dictatorial as the German emperor may be in minor mat- ters, the constitution under which he holds his oftice forbids him to govern in time of peace without two Louses of parliament, except during the dissolu- tion of the Reichstag. The reopening of Parliament means the subjection of the emperor to the Will of the people, Jowa gave Benjamin Harrison a plurality of 22,000 1ast November, but on the same day the democratic anti-prohi- bition candidate for governor was elected by a plurality of 8,200 A contemplation of these significant igures ought to con- vey & much needed'lésson to the rule or ruin prohibition fagtion in the repub- lican ranks of thatstate.
