THERE are good reasons for believing that Congressman Biand is considerably porturbod over the sati=factory conclu- sion of the recent interview between Speaker Crisp and Secretary Carlisle. Ex- JONGRESSMAN BELFORD has been heard from in relation to the silver sit- uation. But the once famous ‘‘red- headed rooster of the Rockies” has not yot succeeded in hatching the silver ogg. EVEN a hasty porusal of the Colorado newspapers these days will convinee the country that congress will have no little difficulty in preventing those sterling silver patriots, Tom Patterson and John Arkins, from seceding from the union. THE eastern editors who persistently credit the west with financial vagaries may read a significant lesson in the fact that the voice of the south is still for the repeal of the state bank tax while the west is almost solidly opposed to it. It 18 hardly probable that the gov- ernor of Colorado will call an extra ses- sion of the legislature in order that some excited people may have an oppor- tunity to repudiate honest obligations. That’s not the western way of doing business. THE Russian nihilists never received much encouragement from the people of the United States. Il they try to carry out their schemes of assassination within the jurisdiction of this country, they will find sympathy but a poor con- solation aftera criminal conviction. REAR ADMIRAL CLEVELAND, com- manding the democratic squadron, has ordered the two houses of congress to executo the gridiron movement on the silver question. There is a growing fear that the maneuver will be attended with great danger to the democratic flag ship. SENATOR PEFFER'S lovesome junket 15 likely to bo brought to an untimely end by the extra session of congress, but the Kansas senator may console him- self by the reflection that he has had a rattling good time. And that, it may be remarked, is the chief effect of a con- oressional junket. THE Sunday closing question at the ‘World's fair has once more risen like the phoenix from its ashes and is to be again discussed by the national commission. The people have been led to bolieve that this controversy was endod. Its reugitation is desived by few and cannot be fruitful of result, THE New York Evening Post cites two oases whore shopkeopers in the vicinity ‘of tho metropolis have refused to accept silver dollars except at discounts of 40 and 47 per cent respectively. This is, of course, a violation of the law, as the silver dollar is by statute made a legal tendor. Morchants in this part of the country are glad to accept any money that bears the stamp of the United States mint at its face value. OTHER states bosides Nebraska have trouble with their public institutions for the defective classes. The inmates of the State Reform sc of Kansas ol arein open mutiny owing to the machin- ations of the retiving oflicers, and a oommit poointed to investigate the Hospital for the Insane at Independence, Ta., has just made & report roundly scoring its management. Plainly too little care is exercised in the selection of ofticials for such impoptant p THE presidential succession in Mexico 43 already attracting attention. The interests and industries of the United States are now so0 closely allied to that country that the political campaign will bo wore closely observed from this side the Rlo Grande than hitherto, Gov- ernor Reyos of the state of Nueva Leon is spoken of as the one who will prob- ably be chosen to succeed President Diaz at the close of his present term. He is spoken of as & man of much the same mould and progressive character as tho present chief executive of our neighbor- {ng republio, | and all of its varions phasos A SHORT SESSION UROED. Papors that are understood to be clove to the administeation nrge that the ex- tra scssicn bo made as short as possible. Thus the 'hiladelphia Ledger says that “a long, ¢ tious session should, fe many gowd reasons, bo avoided.” Tt su gests tho eilver question in each has boen sufficiontly discussed, that the propric of the repeal of the Sherman law a matter for debate. be no delay growing out of “The inexorable logic of facts,” the Ledyer, ‘“the financial di turbances, the mevcantile embar- rassments, of which the aect has been the fruitful c¢ause from Maine to New Mexico, demand that con- gress shall not waste good time in talk- ing about doing that which should be immediately done, and which the most vital interests of the country demand shall bo expeditionsly done.” The idea s that congress should promptly elect a spoaker, and at once pass a resolution eiving the sccretary of the treasury authority to discontinue purchases of silvor, or todirdetly repeal the com- pulsory purchasing clause of the Sher- man act. Doubtlcss this is good advice. A pro- longed contention over the silver ques- tion would unquestionably have the effect to aggravate and intensify the distrust and depression which it is so desirable and important to relieve as soon as possible. But there is very little probability that the advice will be heeded, even though it be known to represent the desive of the administra- tion. The extreme silver men have already plainly given out that they do not intend to surrender without a strug- gle and it is not to be doubted that they have it in their power to make a long fight. The prerequisite to prompt action and a short session is such a change in the rules of the last congress,which will be in force until the new congress is organized, as will prevent filibustering. This is recornized by members of the majority party, who also seo that the task is likely to be a difficult one that ake a good deal of time. The free men will fight any change in the rules designea to put a check upon them and from all appearances they will have the advantage in the cont They will contend that the democratic majority cannot afford to adopt the methods which prevailed in the last ve- bublican house and in this posi- tion they are very likely to have the sympathy and support of demo- crats who are not friendly to free silver but are on reeord in hostility to the “gag-rule precedents of Speaker Reed.” Much will depend, of course, upon the attitude of the republicans, who may not feel called upon to take any part in making tho rules for a dem- ocratic house, whatever they may think of the wisdom of providing a check to filibustering and other obstructive tactics. They may with entire pro- priety leave this question of parliamen- tary metheds to be settled by the demo- crats and it is quite possible they will do so. In that case the chances of a short session will be small. The indications are that not much time will be wasted in the organization of the house of representatives. The re-clection of Judge Crisp is practically conceded, and he will doubtless be able to announce the committees within a day or two. Then will como the fight onthe rules, andno one cansay how long that may last. It will notbe sur- prising if the extra se:sion shall vun on to the date for the meeting of the regular session in December, and even then the purpose for which the session is called may not be accomplish and there should debate. 0, THE ANTI-TRUST CAMPAIGN. In a timely article in the current num- ber of The North Amervican Review, Albion W. Tourgeo estimates that the feeling of apprehension against trusts, as combina- tions of capital intended to take advan- tage of the necessities of the many for the benefit of the few, are called, is quite as general, perhaps, in the east as in the west. The demand for remedy and re- striction is louder, more emphatic and more general in the west, however. He finds the reason for this in the more solf- reliant and independent character of the western people, who immigrated to this country. ““Those who tarried in the east were largely servants and employes who sought only a bette . “Such a population as that of the west is “‘natur- ally more restive under conditions which they believe are both dangerous and remediable than one which has in- herited the idea that howover harsh they may be, they ave quite incurable; that the only way to avoid being crushed on the lower levels is to lie down and try to worm one's way to the upper ones,” Mr. Tourgee, with the fairnessof judg- ment and statement that should char- actorize every writer on economic sub- jects, recognizes that this crusado against trusts “is not a vrusade against weulth any more than democracy is a crusade against powor.” Tt is merely the *most pronounced form of the protest against the most evidently dangerous feature of plutoeratic control, It is only a demand for the restriction of power exercised by combined accumulation, as demceracy was a crusade against the power of combined priviloge,” Another significant feature of My, Tourgoe'’s paper is that he recognizes it is not easy to define tho relation of this anti-trust sentiment to the populist party. *“That only a small portion of it is represented by that party is evident to any observer. While antagonism to trusts is one of the tenots of that organization, it has so many others, and they a of so heterogenoous a nature, that they seem 10 have driven from its support many of the more conservative of those with whom this antagonism is deepost. The strength of this movement does not con- sist of men who are either sccialists cevolutionists. They do not expect the world to be made over in & moment, nor believe in any untested cure-all for economie ills. They simply beli s great and growing ovil must be remedied.” This clear exposition depicts fully the depth and character of the sentiment that is developing against this form of coutrol. Itis guided by the abstract i | s not ! 1aw of self preservation. It is me the transfor to this new country of the endless conflict botween the strong and the weak recorded throughout the his- tory of feudalism. Tt is confined to no P al party, or social condition. It is the povular protest against the power «f unrestricted accumulation. The writer seoks not to consider the reme- os that might avail or the means by which they may be applied. “There is 1o doubt that the same connection which has made the principle of the Granger cases an intogeal part of our law and has forced all parties to admit the right of state and nation to regulate corporato control of transportation will find a way to restrict the power of capitalistic com- bines or every sort and character, and rolieve our civilization of the peril of a feudalism based on wealth.” ANADIAN RAILWAY COMPETITION. A question of very great importance to American railway interests, which the next congress will undoubtedly be called upon to considor, is thatof chang- ing or modifying the regulations by which the Canadian railroads are now enabled to secure a very large amount of traffic between American points that would otherwise go to the domestic roads. This question has been discussed for a number of years and appavently is nonearer a settlement than at the bogin- ning. At the last regular session of the senate the interstate commerce commit- tee was directed to make a thorough examination of the question of the rela- tion of tho United States and Canaca with regard to railroad transportation, with particular reference to the ecxist- ing laws and regulations governing the transportation of Canadian cars over The convening of congress in August will probably neces- sitate a postponement of this investiga- tion, but it is to be hoped it can be made before the time for the regular session in December. This will, of course, de- pend upon how long the special session holds. According to a statement rccently made by Congressman-clect Hepburn of Towa, who was solicitor of the treasury under the last administration and in that capacity gave a great deal of study to our raiircad transportation relations h Canada and Canadian roads, the privileges accorded to these foreign cor- porations by the government of the United States are worth to them proba- bly $20,000,000 annually. This traflic, Mr. Hepburn observed, naturally and properly belongs to American roads, and if controlled by these roads would enable them to give as low rates as their compotitors. Not being subject to the long and short haul clause of the inter- state commeree act, the Canadian roads s many advantages over the ;an lines with which they compete. It is contended that besides the great injury done to our own roads by permitting this large traflic to be diverted to the foreign cor- porations the present method is most unsafe to the revenue interests of the government. Mr. Hepburn is of the opinion that no legislation is necessary to effect the desired change in the ex- | isting regulations, the secrctary of the treasury having ample authority to do s0. The matter was carefully consid- ered by both Secretaries Windom and Fos and from the fact that they took no action it is a fair inference that they were not satisfied that they possessed the power to act. It is as well as assured that a strong pressure will be brought by the Am, ican transcontinental rai duce congress to adopt a policy which will give them the control of all rail- roud transportation across the continent, without interferonce by their Cunadian competitors, and it is no less certain that this will be met by an equally vig- orous pressure to prevent any serious interference with that competition. An investigation similar to the one now or- dered was made by a senate commit- tee some three years ago and it developed a practically unanimous senti- ment in New England and the north- west against any cxtreme measures looking to the suppression or the ma- terial curtailment of the competition of Canadian roads. All the testimony taken showed that while the people of those sections would not oppose’ any reasonable regulation that would re- quire the foreign corporations to con- form to our laws, they would strenu- ously resist legislation whose effect would be to cut them off from the ad- vantages which Canadian railway com- petition gives them. This sentiment has not undergone any change. A New Eng- land senator recently said in reference to this question that a policy which would destroy this competition could not be otherwise than injurious to tho interests of New England and it can be confidently staied that the producers of the northwest ave as earncst now as they have ever been in the determina- tion not to be deprived of the trans- portation bepefits, both as to facilities and rates, which the Canadian competi- tion secures to them, The last adminis- tration regarded this question as ons of commanding importance. The position of the present administration regarding it is yet to be defined, ASK FOR A SPECIAL TERM. The assistant city attorney attempts to palliate the surrender of the eity's in- terests in the paving case by City Attor noy Connell by stating that the int venor would, without any have been able to defer tl; the case to a still later time. Inasmuch as the supreme court had ordered all briefs to be filed two days before it was to adjourn, the city attorney can find no justifiable excuse for yielding under stress of a meve possibility of delay. In the meanw 5, Mr. Connell has hurried off to spend his vacation in Chicago without even endeavoring to secure a special torm of the supreme court prior to Septomber. The people would like very much to learn what he is now doing to extricate the city from the wire into which he has dragged it Section 1020 of the Consolidated Statutes of Nebraska reads as follows: The judges of the supreme court, or a majority of them, are hereby auth d Lo appoint and hold a speciat term of said court at such tune as they may desiguate for dis posiug of the unfiuished busiuess of any gon- concession, calling of DAILY B®E: FRIDAY oral torm of sald¥utt and may appoint ono spocial term of s§id fourt in any one year for | general or spoctal urposes, This provisionsems at first glance to authorize the eflling of & special term in the present case, but it was not invoked Wy the city attorney. If aspecial teriy,of the supreme court can legally bo hald after a date has boen fixed for the ne¥t¥itving no timo ougnt to be lost in pubbifiy forth efforts to in- duce that tribumulto call such a session. The quostion whigfher the public works of acity as large ,as Omaha shall bo postponed for a ~wholo season is one of such vital importance as to demand the carliest possible consideration by the court. At this time of financial depres- slon, more than at any other, the cessa- tion of the work of public improvement means much to the laboring men of this city. Now when employmont is difficult to obtain in private industries, when manufacturers and traders are sorely tompted to cut down oxpenses at every point, it is of the greatest impor- tance that some outlet be afforded the labor in employment upon those pub- lic works for which the money is now at hand. The city council at its meeting tonight should promptly pass a resolu- tion calling upon the assistant city at- torney and the attorney specially re- tained for this case to investigate whother it be possible tosecure a special term of the supreme court and to take cvery step which the law allows to ob- tain a spoedy decision respecting the city’s right to prooeed with the work. THE Now York Chamber of Commerce yesterday adopted resolutions urging the immediate repeal of the Sherman act and suggesting the appointment by congress of a commjssion to inquire into the currency system of this and other countries and report at the regular session of congress in December. It is not apparent that the proposed com- mission is necessary or that it could rvender any important service. Ex- perience with such bodies has not been altogether profituble, and there is nothing that a currency commission could ascertain that might not be as well learned by a committee of congrcss, while any recommendations that such a committee should make would have no more weight, either with the country or with congress, than would those of a congressional committee. 1t is not likely that the suggestion will receive any con- sideration from congre: —_— THE persistence with which the sec- retary of the treastiry refuses to make public the figures,showing the growth of the tin plate ifdustry in the United States has given tHo to the somewhat natural belief that the results of the in- quiry are not entirely satisfactory to the Treasury department from a political standpoint. Figurds are at hand, how- ever, to show that twenty-four fuctories now in operation”tfirned out 23,431,686 pounds of tinned and terne plate during the first three months of the present year. UNDER the last Eongross a place was made for Congressman W. A. Mec- Keighan on the committee on coin- age, weights and measures, Speaker Crisp, - if re-clected, intonds to re- vise the names on the roll of this committec s0.as to secure a report favorable to an administration measure looking toward a repeal of the Sherman silver purchase law. McKeighan will probably have to trim his sails or else drop out in the shuffle, THERE is nothing encouraging in the outlook for South Carolina’s new liquor law. The peoplo are defiant, the saloons have not closed in unison, the railroaas are still importing liquor for their cus- tomers, only a single druggist in the state has taken any cognizance of the provision regulating his business, and however honestly and energetically Governor Tillman may have labored in behalf of his scheme it is evident that all his efforts have resulted in only a ridiculous muss. THE journalistic carper is a hard man to please. Two weeks ago he was abus- ing the president for not calling an oxtra session of congress to meet the exigencies of the financial situation. Now he 1s criticising the president for not grappling with tho situation single handed. The general public will in- cline to the view that in calling the oxtra session the president did the right thing at tho right time, THE cheerful intelligence comes from Lincoln that the stockholders of the de- funct Capital National bank will refuse to pay the assessment ordered by the comptroller of the currency.

ROYAL WEDDING CELEBRATED WITH POMP Al Other Coremonials of Recont Years In the British Court Ecllpsed by the Splendor of the Nuptints of the ielr Prospective. Loxpox, July 6. of York (Prince George of Wales) and Prin- coss Viotoria Mary of Teck took place at 12:30 in the Chapel Royal, St. James' palace. The wodding was a brilliant function, at- tended by alarge gathering of British and continental royalty and the highest nobility. The wenther was beautiful. A great crowd gathered along the route from Buckingham palace to the garden ontrance of St. James palace. The docorations along tho line of tho the procession waero profuse and boautd- ful, and the coremony oclipsed in pomp and splendor any recent coromonial in the Brit- ish court. The royal party left Buokingham palace in four processions, the first including mem- bers of the houschold and distinguished guests; tho next the duke of York and his supporters, tha prince of Wales and the duke of Lexenburg; the third, the bride, accom- panied by her father, the duke of Teck, and her brother, Princo Adolphus; last, tho queen, accompanied by the duchess of Teck, her younger sons and the grandduke of Hesse. Each procession was accompanied by a military oscort and procoeded amid immense cheering. Arrived at St. James palace the members of the procession pro- ceeded to seats in the chapel, beautifully adorned with palms and flowers and car- peted with crimson. Drawing room dresses were worn by the ladies and the gentlemen were in full levee dress., The ceremony opened with a procession of clergy into the chapel. This consisted of the archbishop of Canterbury, bishop of London, deanof the Chapel Royal, the sub- dean, bishopof Rochester. v ton,domestic chaplain to the pi and domestic chaplain to the duke of York. Handel's march from the “Ocecasional Over- ture” was played by the organist as the first procession came forward. While the arch. bishop and the clergy wero taking their places, the “March Incipio” was porformed. As the queen’s procession walked up tho msle, Sir Arthur Sullivan’s *“Imperial March’ was played, and “The March in G" was played during the progress of the bride- groom's procession. As the bride passed up theaisle tho organist played Wagner's March from “Lohengrin.” The bride wore the veil mother at her own marriage. The wedding gown was of silver brocage. The brides- maids’ toilets were white satin and silver la Neither wreaths nor veils were worn—only a simple rose in the r. The bridesmaids weresPrincesses Victoria and Maud of Wales, Princesses Alexandria and Beatrice of Edinburgh, Princesscs Margaret and Victoria Patrica of Connaught, Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein aud Princess Eugenie. The archbishop of Canterbury, assisted by other clergy, performed the ceremony. The bride was given away by her father. The services began with the marriage choral, “Fatner of Life,”” composed for the occasion by Dr. Prosser, and sung by the Chapel Royal choir.
