If Newby is not Newby, but rather Benton, he hassucceeded most remarka- bly in impersonating his original to a perfection which secured recognition from the wife of the real union veteran, It has been asked in one quarter why so groat expense was incurred by the pen- sion bureau to conviet Benton when the sum at stake is comparatively insignifi- cant, Itis not somuch the amount of the pension, but the fact that a fraud was committod upon the government and upon the bona fide soldiers of the country that required prosecution. Those who accept the verdict of the jury have no reason to complain over the action of the pension officials. THE Fy FxPre AR OF TARIFF CHANGES ident Harrison shows a percoption of the eauses which have cro- | ated the prevailing want of confidence when he says that the threatened sweap ing revision of the tariff has quite as much to do with it as has. The intelligent judgment of the country is beginning to recognizo this. The demo- cratic party came into power pledged to destroy the policy of protoction on the extraordinary ground that it is uncon- stitutional and to reduce all duties to a strictly revenue basis. A ongross and oxecutive clected upon this pledge must redeem it or be- tray the trust reposed in them by the people. The popular de- mand distinetly tion they must meet or confoss that the declaration made by the party in na- tional was not honest and sin cloar silver democratic convention It is the apprehension that a majority of the party will insist upon complying with this demand that is leading manu- facturers to close their mills and work- shops, throwing thousands out of employ- ment at a time when, under normal con- ditions, industries should active. Ivery eotton mill owner who has To- cently shut down explained that he did 80 because of the threatened tariff legisla- tion, theoutcome of which no one is wise enough to foresee. Practical business men will not go on accumulating stocks of gocds at the current cost of their manufacture in the presence of a danger that all the profit on them may be swept away by tariff changes o that they may be left on their hands in consequence of a destructive foreign competition. Therefore as a matter of self protection manufacturers either stop production entirely or curtail operations to the re- quirements of anassurcd demand. There is probably more unemployed labor in the country now than there has been be- fore in twenty years and there is every reason to fear that within the next three months the army of idlers will be greatly increased. This s really the most serious feature in the situation, because it is one- that cannot be rvemedied by financis however wiso that may be. Thoe rey of the silver purchase clause of the Shor- man aet will doubtless re-establish con- fidenc *as the money of the coun- try is concerned. It will all danger of the country drifting to a single tandard, will strengthen faith in onr seeurities abroad and put a check to theiwr veturn, and it is possible that it would result in bringing back a part of the gold we have sent to Burope during the past year—all very much to be de- sived—but it will not start up the indus- tries that have shut down buecause of a fear of radical tariff changes. It is to little purpose to say to these manufa-turers that President Cleveland is believed not to approve the attitnde of his party toward protection and that he can be depended upon to prevent such a revision of the tariff as would result in injury to the industries of the country. It is probably not to be doubted that the president takes a moderate view of what should be done inrevising the schedules. Tnose who are assumed to have au- thority to epeak for him say that his economic policy is opposed to any revision of the tariff which will injure the people’s industrial in- terests or jeopardize their prosper- ity, I is fully committed to revision of the cxisting law, butnot to the extent necessury to sacrifico the principle of protection. It is undoubtedly entirely safe to count upon the influence of Mr. Cleveland being given against the free trade clement in his party, but while this is well as far as it goos, nobody can feel certain that the president will be able to prevent such a blow being struck at the system of protection as may prove ¢ damaging, if not disastrous, to every industrial interest affected by the tarifl. As we have before suggested in referring to this subject, the president can do the country a very great service and materially help toward the restora- tion of confidence if he will announce, in his message to congress two weeks from today, that he will not approve a re- vision of the tariff nvolving the aban- donment of protection as demanded in the demicratic national platform. be remove silve PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S HEALTH. President Cleveland is still sojourning at Buzzard’s Bay, where he is recuperat- ing preparatory to entering upon the ar- duous work that will come with the as- sembling of congress, August 7. It is stated that no time has been set for the president’s return to Washington, and it is probable that he will remain where there is good fishing and wholesome sea air until within a few days before the meoting of congress. There can be no doubt that it is necessary for the prosi- dent to take the best possible care of his physical health, The doctors say he has no organic disease, but he is troubled with rheuma- tism, and [ man as cor- pulent as Mr, Cleveland is, with a ten- dency to the steady accumulation of adi- pose tissue, cannot be too earcful, There is undoubtedly a considerable solicitude regarding the president's health, ¢ number of people is very large who would rogard the deatis of Mr. Cleveland at this time, or lis per- munent disability, as a public calamity of the most serious character. The sue- cession of Vice President Stevenson to the office of chief executive would in the opinion of u very large majority of the people be a grave misfortune. The feel- ing was vory well indicated in an edi- torial published @ short time ago in the Philidelphia Ledger, in which it was suia: “Viee President Steven- son’s policy with reference to the finan- cial and cconomic quostions which ave now so prominently before the country is not 80 thoroughly understood as president’s, but it is suficiently under- stood to give the country cause to regard with apprehension the probability, or the possibility even, of his suecoeding in the near future to the presidential office. Whatevor his ability, his patriotism may be, it is not felt that the ship of state would be so well directed by him as by Mr. Cleveland, and the anxiety that the latter should continue in commaand of it duri his en- tive term is natural and rea- sonable.” The vice president is in several important respects a very differ- | with r implied in their elec- | ent man from the president is more extrome partisan than Mr. Clove- lund, he has narrower views of political duty, and his sympathies are altogether with that wing of the varty which is essentially sectional in character. With Mr. Stevenson in the presidential office which the fuil to re- no measure of legislation south might demand would coive his approval. It is unquestionably true that the country has confidence in the good in- tentions of Mr. Cleveland, especially ference to the question that is now uppermost in the public mind. People may have doubts as to the extent of the president's information regarding financial matters, but they believe that he sincerely desires to do what is best for the interests of the countr; It is the same with respect to the tariff. M. Stevenson is in full accord with the anti- protection declaration of the demcs cratic national platform. He belioves that the principle of protection is uncon- stitutional and that the government has no power to leyy duties, except for revenue. With Stevenson as president the free trade element of the democracy would be in the ascendant. Mr. Cleve- land is understood to hold the opinion that protection is not unconstitutional and that the country is not prepared for free trade or anything like freo trade. It is this wide difference in the posi- tions of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Steven- son that leads thoughtful people to feel a great deal of solicitude respecting the health of the president and causes every announcement of his physical condition to be read with interest. THE COUNTY TRE. MENT. The county treasurer’s semi-annual statement now given to the public shos some very interesting facts that deserve careful study by the taxpayers. At the commencement of the year, January ‘1, 1893, there was a balance in the treas- ury of $197,087.85. This balance has not diminished during the six monthy just elapsed, but had increased on July 1 last to $350,148.19. The receipts during the year were $087,655.23, so that the total amount which passed into tne treasury during the half year was $885,- 643,08, The miscellancous fees collected in the county treasurer’s office footed up during tho six months under considera- tion the sum of $17,446.26, whereas they amounted to less than $17,000 during the entire period of the preceding year. served to cover into the treasury a neat sum after paying the whole salary list of those employed in their collection. They afford another illustration of the wisdom of piacing public officials upon salavies and requir- ing all by them collected to bo turned in in the same manner as other public income. Tmprovements are seen in many other features of the statement. Back taxes have been collected upon levies as an- cient as 1862, The levy for 1801 has been cleared up to 96 ver cont -of its face, whilea good beginning has been made in completing that of 1892, Here again we see ronewed evidence to empha- sizo the absurdity of allowing warrants to be drawn upon 85 per cont of the levy whether that amount is collected or un- collected. In the matter of outstanding registered warrants some credit must be given for reducing the amount drawn against the general fund to $363.33. Yet in three county funds—the soldiers’ re- lief fund, the hospital building fund, the hospital Judgment fund—the outstanding warrants exceed the balances, leaving a doficit on account of the overdraft. The value of the statement might be en- hanced by the addition of separate totals for the state and county collec- tions. Taken altogether, the finances of Douglas county appear to bo in a very good condition—in much better condi- tion, at any rate, than they have been for sume years. URER'S STATE- These fees fees THE situation of the Colorado miners who are being driven castward by lack of employment and aectual physical want is no less pitiable than remarka- ble. Men who had been lured to the silver country by tales of untold wealth, who have been carning excellent wages and have either spent all or lost theiy suyings in the collapsed banks, are driven to force their way upon tha rail- roads and to accept the charity of the wayside towns. S0 then the only choice is to leave Colorado or remain there to starve. In the east their chances are but slightly improved bocause they are not accustomod to anything but mining labor while the labor market there is already overcrowded. 1If they socure work it will only bo by driving others out of their positions. Something must be done to relieve their distress and tide them over the present period of financial distrust. This is the pitiable side of the situation. The remarkable side arises in connection with the attitude of the railways. The so-called soulless cor- porations scem to have discovered their souls and are doing all in their power to assist the unemployed miners to reach places where they may either soek work orfind friends or velatives who will help them in their need. A resolution of thunks was passed not long ago in ro- sponso to the kindly assistance of an Il- linois railroad in behalf of the cylone sufferers at Pomeroy. The 1 s of Nebraska deserve equally well for their present action from all those who hold the interests of well-intentioned but un- fortunate luborers at heart. 11 18 reported that several prominent democratic serators who have been among the most ardent advoeates of free silver and were also opposed to the re- peal of the Sherman law will now favor the repeal of that act, and it is inti- wated that patronage has had some- thing to do with their conversion. The prospect of 4 measure for the repeal of the silver purchase act passing the sen- ato thus becomes more favorable, but this will not necessarily shut out a free coinage bill and it is believed that such a bill will be presented and passed in the senate and may be got througn the bouse, though this is less likely. It isinot doubted that a measure. of this kind would encounter the presidential veto, which would of course dispose of it, sinc a suficient number could not be found in either branch of congress to pass a free | coinage bill over she exeoutive THE_OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, JULY 24, In such a way ad"{HYs, it is bolioved by | t alonj possible to socure a | susponsion of bulliom purchases.

With hay at 230 a ton on the continent of Burepe and a big crop just harvested and being gathered in this country, the farmers ought*to put some money in their pockets. It is believed that the hay crop of the United States this year will net more than the wheat, and it is highly probabla that the Enropean demand for our corn will be considerably larger than any previous year. The wheat crop is short abroad. and as there will not be a very great surplus in this coun- try it would seem inevitable that Europe will need more than the usual amount of our corn, both for human food and stock food. The outlook, so far as the foreign markets are concerned, appears very promising for the American farmer and he will probably have no reason to complain of a material reduction in the domestic demand, though there is a possibility of some decline in the home consumption. Tur average layman has never been able to clearly discern the logic of class- ing sudden deaths as due to ‘‘heart failure.” And now the registration and sunitary committee of Philadelphia pub- licly stigmatizes the practice as a super- ficial and harmful habit. Hereafter a burial certificate will not be issued in that City on the certificate of death of heart failure when unaccompanied with the disease from which the heart failure occurred. The committee says: “This term has never heen placed on the list of discases adopted by this board, it being looked upon as a result of some other 1llness from which the patient was suffeving. Furthermore, it furnishes an opportunity to conceal contagious dis- enses, and thus pormits the ignoring of the rules of this board, either innocently or designedly.” It is evident these pro- fessional medical men recognize what the unprofessional always have done, that heart failure isan effect and not a cause, THE failure of the western railroads to come to an understanding concerning the inauguration of feduced rates to the World’s fair is disuppointing to the peo- ple as well as to the exposition direc- tors. The longer the rates remain high the less will be the gains to the rallways from increased passonger traffic. Their own interests ought to counsel immedi- ate and unanimous agreement. ————— The Political Millennium, Washiu,ton Post, Tammany has beenapplauding a civil sery- ico reform specen.
