As a warning against negligont conduot in rvolation to buildings intended for publie usos, tho finding of the coroner's jury eannot but prove an instructive losson. — THE county agent for outside paor has made a roport which shows that the in- digent wards havo cost the county 7,872 during six months of this year. Tho yoar's expenditures for charity will probably amount to $15,000, This isa large sum of money and is sufficlont to draw all the paupers from syrrounding towns who learn of Douglas county's liberality and can bog trans- portation to this eity, It should be the constant effort of the county agent to soo that the taxpayoers ave not imposed upon.

Why can't Omaha do so? llul' @ possiblo large domand upon the COMING TO THEIR SENSES The decision of the railway prosidents to uboy the spirit and letter of the new maximum freight rate law, which goes into effect in Nebraska next month, will be hailed with aatisfaction by every resident within the state. No one will fel anything but pleasant disappoint- ment in learning that the rumored talk of willtully ignoring the provisions of the statute have proven altogether un- founded. That there was some thought among the subordinate officials of the railrond compnnies doing business with- in this stato of paying no attention to the logislation enacted on this subjoct and of fighting all attempts at enforce- ment, from the lowest to the highest courts, is not W be doubted. In laying aslde overy disposition provisions of the law the pr have displayed eowmendable go for which they deserve all lit. The railways have boon urced to tako this stop largely by considerations of their own best Interosts. Advico that obedience is the only policy consonant with their welfare has been offered by partios in no way hostile to the corpora- tions affectod. A late number of the United States Investor declares: “Tho law must bo oboyod and the deadhead must go. It is strange that tho railw managors cannot see that their best policy liow 11 making graceful concessions to the rampant anti-monspoly spivit in theso west- ern states. It Is poworful enough, if ferl tated too far, to crush the railways. They will find their future wore safe by shutting oft tho lobbyist and lawyer dendhead list, and by troating with tho shippers and farmers fairly and honorably. 1t the rail- ways i tho West are not as prosperous u they should be, they have thomselves largely 1o blamo. Here, where public interests and rail- way policy coingide, the course adopted is tho only rational course for the rait- Ways 1o pursue, The poople have o right to take the presidents at their word and to regard the announcement as evidonco of a sin- coro purpose 1o oboy the law. Acting upon that assumption they will expect the railways to discountenunce every act of their officials contravening the spirit of the legislative onactment. An honest effort to adjust themselves to the new conditions will do much to restore the railways to the favor of a poeople whom they have so long treatod with utter indifference. sidents A sense, W LEADERS OF THE HOU:! Tt is tho consonsus of opinion among those who have the most favorablo op- portunity of knowing what is proposed in democratic cirelos that in the organi- zation of tho next houso of reprosenta- tives now leadors will take tho places of tho men who. wero at the front in the last congress. Such compotent author- ity as tho Washington correspondent of the Philadelphin Ledyer has recontly stated that Mr. Springor will not bo re- tuinod at the head of the ways and means committeo, and whilo he doos not say vositively who may be tho successor to that gentleman he names MeMillin of Tennesseo and Wilson of West Vieginia as possibilities. It is understood that oithor of the last two would be accopt- ablo to the administration, with a prof- eronce, probably, for tho latter. It is now declared by those who represent the president that Mr. Springer has not the qualitications nocossary to frame a tarift bill and that his appointment two years ago as chairman of the ways and means committoe was . surpriso and disappointment. That this ecriticlsm is not altogethar just there can be no question, but it sorves the purposo of the administration, which pro- pusos to manage the wholo work of tariff rovision, to have it made, and cortainly those who do not desire N radical chango in the tariff cannot asonably complain, Tho dropping of Mr. Springer will necessitato othor changes from the composition of tho waysund means committee of tho last ngross, and it is understood that M Bryan, who was placed on the commit- too at tho request of Springor, will drop out with his patron. Bryan was not a particularly eficiont mombor of the com- mittoo and besides this his position re- garding silvor makes him particularly objoctionablo to tho administration, As to the chairmanship of the com- mittteo on colnage, weights and mens- ures it has rocontly boen statod that Mr. Bland does not desire to bo ro- tainod, It is cortain that a majority of the committeo will bo opposed to his viows on silver and ho is said to have voneluded that in that case ho eould do botter sorvice for free silver on the floor as un indopendent champion of that pol- foy. Undoubtedly ho will be allowed this privilege. It seems not to have beon fully determined whether Hol- man will be kept at the head of the ap- propristions committeo or not, but the chancos are that ho, too, will bo sent to the rear as Dbeing too suporannuated for the work roquired of tho hoad of the appropriations com- witteo. There would b no goneral ro- grotat this change. It is thoe impre sion that the reorganization of tho im- portant committoes of the house, agreoe- ably to the wishes of the administratio will provoke a groat deal of dissatisfac- tion, but it s obviously nocessary in ordor to onablo the adwministration to carry out its policios. Thove is the pos- sibility, however, of tho breach betweon the demoeratio factions becoming wider and doopor than over, A NEW PUNASURY POLICY, Secretary Carlislo has puzzlod finan- clul cirelos by adopting o policy whioh is not only now, but undor existing con- ditions altogother remarkablo. Not- withstanding tho depletion of the gold resorvo in the treasury, which is noarly 12,000,000 below the amount at which it was maintained sineo thoe ticst adminis- tration of Mr, Clovoland, the treasury officials at New York have been volun- tarily paying out gold instead of cur- voncy, although those having demands upon the treasury preforred the lattor. In view of the general understanding that tho seerotary was anxious to re- place tho gold that had been taken from the resorve, the extraordinary action of the treasury causod some surprise and curiosity. Two explanations ave offered. One is that the seoretary desires to bo prepared treasury for ourrency 10 move the to opposo the | THE OMAHA | crops. Tt fs suggestod that the hoard- ing of eurrency, both by the banks and by individuals, may cause an unusual call upon the government to meet the demand for currency a fow weoks hence, and while this is not assured, it is deomed expedient to be ready for it in case it should come. The other expla- nation is that the banks being just now in neced of small bills, the treasury has taken advantage of the op- portunity to force the banks into ex- changing gold or gold cortificates in large quantitics for small legal tender notes that they need, and it is intimated this is done in a spirit of retalintion— that the banks having withheld their gold from the treasury when it needed old, the treasury now proposes to ‘‘get even” by keoping the banks out of the currency they require until they shall | surrendor gold for it. The first expianation is improbable, however commendable the motive to which it ascribes the action of the troas- ury. The national treasury has never concorned itself about the possible cur- roney domand of the country for moving thoe crops, and while there is nothing to provent the adoption of a precautionary policy with reforence to such future call for eurrency the proceeding would bo so ontirely forcign to its legitimate func- tions that it is not easy to bolieve Seore- tary Carlislo, who is known to be strongly in favor of keeping the opera- tions of the treasury steictly within their proper limitations, could be induced to adopt it. It is conceivablo that a policy of withholding currency by the treasury might undor prevaing con- ditions do somo good, but it is also conceivable that the establish- ment of such a precedont might be fruitful of havoc in the future. As to tho other explanation it is perhaps suffi- ciont to say that if the action of the treasury was intonded to retaliate on tho banks it was a grave mistake, for tho obvious reason that it cannot pursuo a course of this kind without inflicting more or less injury upon all interests. If tho banks require small notes for genoral distribution and nnot obtain them from the only source where they are to bo had, the injury is not to the banks alone or chiofly, but to the business and agricultural communitics whero such currency is in demand. Such a poliey must inevitably work widespread inconvenience, with i ng vosults to business, from ich the people would bo the principal sufforers rathor than the banks. The administration of the national treasury should be free from all schemos and oxpodients which tend to complicato the financial affairs of the peoplo or to intorfore with tho rogular processes of business. Whenoever it goes beyond pro- viding for the obligations of the govern- ment and maintaining the public credit it excoeds its proper funetion, and the result cannot be otherwise than harmful. JUDICIOUS AND TIMELY COUNSE When peoplo are under the influenco of excitement and fear, the man who comes forward with calm counsel and rational admonition is a public benefactor. The comptroller of the currency, Hon. Jamos H. Iekels, was not supposed when he was ap- pointed to have any very practical ideas of financial afai He is a law- sor who had not been identified with banking, and the rule had been to select for the position he occupios a man who had some knowledge of the business’ of banking and noces- surily of financial affairs gonerally. Quite naturally, thorefore, there were misgivings as 0 whether Mr. Eekels would bo found equal to the demands of tho very responsiblo offico which ho holds, Thus far, it issimple justice to say, ho has justified the wisdom of his selee- tion, and it is only fair to judgo from this that he will continne to do so. He took hold of the duties of his oftice in a way to give confidonco to the country that ho intended to administer it with reforonce to the public interests, and tho results so far have been such as o satisfy all fale winded mon that the national banking systom of tho country will bo looked after by the prosent administration without favor or projudice. Comptrollor Eckels was given a dinner at tho Union Loague club of New York, Tuosday ovening, and his spoech on tho oceasion contained much wise and timely counsel which should be carofully considered by all olassos of peoplo. Ho did not take the gloomy and pessimistic view of tho financial situation. Ho did not so0 in every bank and mer- cantilo failure an ominous sign of imponding panic. Ho did not rogard tho outlook as full of danger to tho financial and business interests of the country, On the contrary, ho declarod that there was no possibility of a panic, that tho banking institutions of tho country aro generally in a sound con- dition and that the legitimate business of the country is not seriously throat- enod, The admonition of the comp- trollor wassimply that the people should abandon their fears and recovor con- fidence. He depreoated the withdrawal of currency from the banking institu- tions merely for the purpnse of hoarding it, as ealeulated to produce the very condition of afMairs which it is the gen- eral desire to avort. He counseled con- fidonco in the banking institutions of the country — reference being had, of urse, to those under governmental suporvision—as warranted by past o porionce, and he commendod the genor- ally courageous course of the banks as having boen “'a constant source of in- tion to all the country The mptroller had something to say about the evil effects of speeu- lation, which everybody understands and appreciates, but the force and worth of all that he said is to be found in the implication that the exist- ing condition is chiefly due to a lack of confidence for which there is really lit- tlo substantial reason, That thore are still weak spots in the financial and commercial edifices is not to bo doubted, and these may be ex- peoted to continue to show themselves as the process of liguidation goes on, but there is no vahd reason why the continued downfall of specu- lative and badly managed enter- prises and institutions should create alarm and impair confidence in those ¢ DATLY BEE:HTHURSDAY, JULY 20, 1893, which have demor thelr claim to l confidence. 1f the. judiclous and timely counsel of Comtetiler < Eckels wore generally heeded T4 {s probable that the | country would expéfience a more rapid | recovery from distrust and depression. Sm——pee——— THE Lincoln orgaff of the impeached and acquitted stagg officials throws out this fling at tho impeachment managers: | “There being some6f the impeachment fund left over after ‘the acquittal of the members of the Stato Board of Public Lands and Buildings, it is not atall ex- traordinary that the lawing is to go on until the last dollar is absorbed. News comes that the ‘impeachment committee’ has decided to ‘reopen the case,’ dis- charging all tho old lawyers but Mr. Lambertson.” Out of its own mouth it is condemned. The fact that all the lawyers but one have been discharged is not conclusive evidence of an attack upon the impeachment appropriation. What bothers this subsidized Lincoln organ is that the legislature appropriated money to investigato the men who have fed it at the public crib. It isamatter for sincerc regret that the unexpended balance in this appropriation cannot be used to conviet and punish the men who robbed tho state through forged vouchers at the insane hospital. The subsidized organ will know to whom we refer, CASES suspected to bo cholera have been discovered on somo of the incom- ing vessels at our eastern ports and prompt measures have beon taken to prevent their introduction into the United States. When the subject was discussed last yoar the conclusion gen- erally reached by medical experts was that if the winter could be passed and the plague kept out during the spring, the danger of its entrance into this country would be entirely past. Now we find that no absolute limit to the danger point can with cortainty be laid down, Jnder the circumstances tho only method of insuring the health of the people is to rotain the most strin- gent quarantine regulations and to oxert overy effort to put our dwollings and stroets into a condition which will not invite disease. These precautions are not needed alone in the seaport towns. The interior cities must do their share of cleaning up if they want to re- main in a healthy condition ATTORNEY GE AL OLNEY i3 said to be anxious to secure the appointment to the existing vacancy upon the bench of the supreme court of the United States. Owing, however, to the fact thath sides in Massachusetts, whence Justico Gruy was appointed. his pros- pects for the attainment of that position are not very bright: Although Presi- dent Cleveland during his first term promoted one of his cabinet advisers to tho supremo court,. yot the policy of breaking up the unity of a cabinet is not one that will commend itself to general favor. That stability so highly desir able in the counsels of the exccutivo is marred sufficiently by deaths and resig- nations without the intfoduction of this disturbing factor.
