Some other solution to the problem will be necessan SECRETARY CARLISLE, in refusing to accede to a petition from cortain Ken- tucky distillers requesting the postpone- ment for ninety days of the collection of the taxes due upon spirits held in bond, did the only thing which he was author- ized to do.” The case is exactly in point with the petition recently sent to the Omaha city council asking a stay of the time when taxes become delinquent. The law can make no exceptions for dis- tillers, even though they reside in the same state as the tary of the treasury. THE congress of higher education latel in session at Chieago has given oy dence of its practical as well as theo- retical importance by adopting measures looking toward the protection of the higher degrees from debasement at the hands of institutions which grant them to persons who have not performed a commensurate amount of originial work. The only way to establish a true aristoe- racy of lottors is to rostriet the higher educational dogress to men who are really superior in talents and diseipline. Tue indictment of the men who wi held to have been responsible for the Ford theater disaster, following as it does the severe finding of thoe inquest over tho victims of the World's fair holoeaust, ought to prove an incentive urging building inspectors throughout the country to exercise their powors with the utmost vigor. Wae always hear of the ealamities that are duve to negli- gence, but can neyer know how many are averted by the conscientions work of public officials. If the consequence of these indictmonts is to incroase the lat- ter number their mission will be well fulfilled. PRrO¥. ARD T. ELY made the point in a rocent lecture at Chautauqua that our existing inhevitance laws ex- aggerato the importance of relationship. He proposes that the estate of a person who dies without making a will should never pass to distant relatives whom the deconsed has scarcely known and for whom he has cared less. Where no near and dependent relatives are at hand to takoe the succession the town ¢ community in which the deceased amassed his woalth and in whose pros- perity he shared becomes the most proper residuary legatee. Prof. Ely's ldeas are perhaps founded on a spirit of broad-mindedness and may find somo support, but their present adoption for enactment into law is extremely im- rrob.b]w The professor will have to ament that the remaining members of the community have not yet been edu eatod up to his standard of ethice. RATLROAD DUPLICITY. If the latest move of the railronds in respeet tothe new maximum froight rate 1w s to bo taken as (ndieative of their real attitude toward that meas they have not left the people to be long de- colved rogarding their actual inten 10 0ppose the law at every possible po e ons The maximum freight rate law was never a favorita with the rafiroads They fought it tooth and nail through the var legisiation and it e only in the face of their strongest opposition that it finally passed and be- came duly enrolled as law. To have aspect the railronds to t to the operation of a statute en- actod in this manner was perhaps going tou far in view of their well known dis- al that it was with a n that the report was ro- ing the agreement of the railway presidents to abide by the law and to give it a fair trial by ng ity every pr TuE Bep was inclined to read that announcement in the favorable light, and acting upon that assimption gave them cvedit for at least coming to their senses, In this wo were, with others, ceived. By enjoining thoir officers from putting the new tariffs into fovee and rostraining the state officinls and every- hody in general from prosecuting them for its violation, the railronds charnctor- ize their former actions as insincore from the stavt, Tt is impossible now to sup- pose that they ever had any intentions of carrying out the policy announced to to the public. The whole proceedings ware nothing more than a ruse to deceive the people and to throw them entirely off the track. Instead of allowing the law to go into operation and testing its validity in the due course of time, the railway atttorneys have attempted to steal a march by instituting legal proceedings before the time set for its operation and for the very pur- vose of preventing that time from ever arriving. They propose to exhaust every means of avoiding the limitation in rates and their pretended intentions of introducing the required schedules are simply evidences of downright du- plicity. The railroads may imagine that their present procecdings are demanded for the protection of their interests. If so they will find that double dealing is not the course most apt to placate the peo- stagos of wa quietly subi regard for legal restrietions in genel wonder, then, 1t coiv kKing susp d announe obe; wision, in most de- ple.

They are counting upon relief from ex- tortionate charges and obstructionist tactics on the part of the railroads a not caleulated to reconcile them to their present conditions. THE FAIR FINANCIALLY. Tho first threo months of the Colum- bian exposition will be completed tomor rowand it is now conceded that the greut enterprise will not be a financial The paid admissions in May numbered 1,050,037 and in June 2,675,113, The number in July will reach probubly 2,800,000, making the tatal for the three 25,000, This largely exc the attendance at the Centennial success. months 6,52 eds Xpo- sition during the first three months, the total number of paid admissions at Phil- adelphia during May, June amounting to only 1,711,164, th was an improvement, the number of paying visitors reaching 908,684, but the rush did not begin until September, in which month the paid admissions were 2,131,000, while in Oc- tober 2,334,530 persons puid their way into the fair. Tt scems highly probable will bea repetition of the exposition expericnco at Chicago and that during the next three months the attendance at the World's fair will be more than twice as great as during the past three. It is expected that the paid admissions during August will not be Joss than 3,000,000, while for each of the months of September and October they and July In August that there Centennial will doubtless reach double this num- ber. It is considered a conservative estimate that at least 15,000,000 people will pay their way into the fair during the next three months, which if realized will make the total paid admissions up- wards of 21,000,000, It is possible that this number may be eded, but even if the paid admissions should be several millions greator than this estimate they would not be sufficient to make the fair a financial success. On the other hand it may be that the estimate for the next three months is too large. While the high railroad fares have had a great deal to do with keeping down the at- tendance at the exposition during tho past three months the general depros- sion will doter many people from going to Chicago who had intended to go, on though railroad faves are reduced. housands will forego the desire to visit the fair in obedienee to the stronger ap- peal to be prepared to meot more impor tant demands upon the The great middle class, on which the finan- cial of the enterprise most largely depends, cannot, under existing conditions, be as liberal as they would be if business was proaperous, money casy and the outlook for the future bright. While, therefore, the attend- ance at the fair during the next three months will unquestionably be very much greater than during the past three, it would not be surprising if even the most conservative estimates arve found to be oo large. Meanwhile the fair management seems to feel no concern about the result, judg- ing from the fact that it has made no effort to reduce expenditures. Accord- ing to the statement of a Chicago paper the staff of the exposition was organized upon the estimate of an attendance of 200,000 a day, Althovgh the average is under 100,000, the stafl organization is maintained on the basis of the higher figure. There has undoubtedly been o great deal of extravagance in this re- spectand perhaps in other directions, but it is a question whether a more econom- ical policy can now be judiciously insti- tuted in view of the anticipated increaso in the attendance. If the staff has found employment during the past three months it will certainly have enough to do during the next three.

WDERLY. | to be As Wi Columbian by all compe eminently the known. Its unquestionod. TAE PASSING OF P | The announcement of Mr. nee V. Powderly that he will retive from the leadership of the Knights of Labor | organization has elicited some comment | not altogether commendatory of that | individual us a labor leader. Mr. Pow- | derly has been before the country for a number of years as a chamnion of the | cause of labor. Tt was mainly through | his efforts that the knights were organ- | ized and he conceived the ambitious | schemo of enrolling in that organiza- | tion all the workingmen of the | United States of ovory class, the skilled and the unskilled. For sov- erul yoars the movement made steady progress, and the knights grow 10 bo the most formidable body of organ- ized labor this country or any other has ever known. Under the direction of | Powderly, who ruled with almost suto- cratie power, it for a time commanded what it pleased. Its influence ramified averywhere, and wherever it went the authority of Powderly was behind it. No man exercised a greater power than he during the period when the organiza- tion which he controlled was at its greatest strength. The industrial in- terests of tie country feared him, the politiciaus. sought his friendship, and his great army of followors in the ranks of labor gave him their fullest confidence. It is remarkable that a man like Powderly could attain such power at the hands of so numerous a body of intelligent workingmen as constituted the toundation of the Knights of Labor. He is not a man of exceptional intellec- tual endowments or attainments, he has no great fores of character, and the in- tegrity and sincerity of his professed opinions have always been open to ques- tion. That he used the ovder of which he was the head for his personsl advan- tage and aggrandizement has been many times charged. It is possible that he has gained far more from it than is represented by a very liboral salary. The time came, as was incvitable, when the fallacies of Powderly's policy were scen and the dangerous character of his methods was understood. Then came disintegration of the knights, and although Powderly struggled with all the energy he po sesses tosave the organization it steadily dwindled away, until now, when he withdraws from it, there remains but a fraction of its former strength. Hun- dreds of thousands of workingmen that were once embraced in it have gone into independent organizations under other leaders. The vower of the knights ha largely passed away, while the autho ity of Powaerly as a leader of labor gone altogether. The passing of Powderly ter which should cause any regret to the workingmen of the United States. No wage worker in the country ever ob- tained any benefit from following his counsel, but & great many have suffered in consequenco of doing so. Powderly had a great opportunity to be of r service to the hundreds of thousands of honest men who had faith in him, but he lacked the ability or the honosty to improve it. Essentially a demagogue, he could not long conecal his real char- acter under the disguise of a reformer. His shrewdn and avrog for a time protected him, but when men ap- peared having the courage to oxpose his fallacies and denounee his methods he soon lost his hold. The labor inter- ests of the country are to bo congratu- lated upon the fact that T. V. Powderly will no longer chamvion their cause. It is not to be apprehended that any suc- cessor he may have could do more than he has done to mislead them s not a mat- ance R TRICTING HE A plan, in many respects’ novel, for LIQUOR TRAFFIC. restricting the number of satoons and drinking places in New York, has just been promulgated by the excise board of that city and gives promise of being put into operation without active opposition from any quarter. The system of liquor traflic rogulation that has for some years been in vogue in the metropolis is practically that of a moderate license. The applicants for licenses have been graded and classified according to the aracters of the places which they were conducting and the ure of the liquor which they wished to dispense. That is to say, permission to sell beer only can be obtained at the reasonable rate of $100 per year. Bars with unlimited va- rviety to thoir drinks pay $250, with an extra 3100 for being allowed to keep oven all night. 1n this way the groatest sum which any ore person pays into the city treasury amounts to 3250, while spe- cial licenses ave issued to hotel bars, to restaurants with bars, to vestaurants without bai%, to dealers who soll in bot- or bulk only. The total numbar of licenses ontstanding is about 9,200; the number of licensed saloons about 1,200 less, or 8,000, The excise board has recently come to the conclusion that 8,000 places where craving man may quench his thirst are an ample sufficiency for a city no larger than New Yor And in accordance with this view it has unanimously agreed to issue no more licenses for saloons ex- cept to replace one that has been given up. This rule is not to be extended to hotels, restaurants or grocery dealors, for the reason that it might hinder the introduction of these desirable enter- prises, but in connection with places that seek to dispense liquid refresh- ments solely 1t is announced that it will gidly enforced. The results antic pated from this innovation are that it will keep the number of saloons whore it now stands, namely, below 8,000, and that it will elevate the tone of the places and the quality of the liquor which passes over their bars. No one will deny that the aims of the board are laudable and worthy of en- couragement, but the scheme seoms to involve several drawbacks which do not pertaiu to other plans having the same exe be r L K BN _PAGES onds {n viow 10 firat result of Timit g the number of saloon liconses to be fssued 18 to give a monopoly value to ry such lic#hdh in force.

The saloon license is trans- formed into a Mwited monopoly. Out- sidors, although ablo to pay the charges demanded, will be unable to secure tho permission required by law unless they buy out some more fortunate competitor A second disadvantage avises from the fact that such a rule places absolute limits to the growth of the city's reve- nues far as derived from saloon licenses. Solong as the price of the license remains fixed, the income from that source will also remain stationary. The preminms paid to the ro- leaso of one licenso in order to enable & new one to bo procared will go to the owner of the bar about to be elosed and not to the city. This part of the license money which the city might sily obtain is thus practically transferred to the present holders of licenses. The possession of a licenso {s virtually made a property right, and at that, one that promises to increase in value and to ro- pay holding for a rise. All theso disadvantages might be avoided by using the price of the license as the lever to restriet the number of suloons. If the number of outstanding licenses is too high in the ostimation of the board, making the charge a high license in fact as in name would soon reduce the number of parties applying. By raising the price of the license the demand could be so adjusted to the sup- ply as to bring the number into the de- sived limits, In this way, furthermore, the entire proceeds would inure to the benefit of the city treasury, and by care- fully watching the eonditions of the license market,income from this quarter could be made a source of constantly in- creasing revenue. Such a system of re- strictive high license would at the same time avoid the creation of a quasi- property right in the present possession of a license as well as the unearned in- erement which would acerue to its owner from the continual in the mand for relea: ov, o 80 increase de- NCE TRIUMPH. France has played her hand and won in the little game of international land grabbing. The | position of Siam has been forced, and that power has been compelied to accede unconditionally to the French ultimatum. If the atti- tude of France in this entire imbroglio has had an arbitrary aspect, yet hor en orgotic action dnd bold array of foree cannot but have been surprising in view of her supposod v for delay. Opinion in the United States has all oug been on tho side of Siam, notwith- standing the fact that the ultimato despoiling of Sifm was recognized as almost inevitable. The part of Great Britain in this affair is as yet too little understood. The in- terests of British morchants were largely at stake while at the same time the continued independence of Siam is a part of the British policy in the cast. It will probably be learned that British interference had more to do with the apparent yielding of Siam than i generally acknowledged. In fact the latest reports state that it is understood that France will cede back to Siam that portion of the disputed territory lying above 18 degreesand will await an inter- national arbitration for the final adjust- mentof her elaims. This means that the surrender of Siam is not one which places it at the mercy of France, but that its interests are to be protected by tho aid of Great Britain, Viewed as a political move, success is a triumph. of new territory will serve to satiate the I'renchman’s lust for conquest. It ex- tends the glory of France and upholds the French dignity.

With the war cloud banished all Europe breathes easier and France stands strengthened in the con- gross of Buropean powers. has France's The acquisition THE two subsidized railroad organs of Lincoln have utterly failed in the effort toarray country shivpers against Omaha by misropresenting the real effect of the recent action of the railroads in fixing upon Omaha as a base for distributing If the merchants of interior towns can get as favorable rates under the new ovder of things as they received under the old deal, they will not stop to enquire how the rates are made. For years past Omaha has been discriminated against in favor of Lin- coln. Under the operation of the re- vised schedules this city will bo put on an equality with Lincoln. Omaha will simply get what she is entitled to and that without injury to any other city. The new maximum freight rato law was designed to reduee tolls on Nebraska roads and vhe railroad organs of Lincoln will find it difficult to convinece mer- chants in country towns that its enforce- ment will cause an pdvance of such tolls. —_—— NOTWITHSTANDING the repeated state- ments published of the objects and char- acter of the Commercial club there are many men in Omahi who do not know what it is, The aluy is distinctively a business man's organization, formed solely to promote thé trade interests of this city. It is not & soeial club. The grill room will be'neminally under the club's control, but will be leased and con- ducted as any other . restaurant by the lessee. Members of the club may lunch there with their friends. The work already accomplished by the elub and that which has been mapped out will commend the organization to the zealous support of every business man and pro- fessional man in the city. In unity there is strength, and the fight for Omaha cannot be waged without the combined force of her merchants and citizens gen- erally. THE greatest danger of a large idle population is that it may be so casily led into devious paths.

While it true that the government paper isstes in England, France and Germany soldom appear in denominations that smail, yet many people view our employment of small bills as & great improvemoent over the European system. Tho principle of Gresham's law that every ono will en- deavor to part with the poorest money in his first was never bottor illustrated than in tho prosent distribution of small billsand siv 0 It isalways the weaker party to a trans- action who has the less desivable money thrust upon him. So in the east retail business is conducted almost entirely with small bills and whenevor a silver dollar is obtained it is hurriedly passed on to the next person domanding change. By aprocess of this kind the bulk of the country's silver coin has been shoved along until it is massed in the west, where all minor payments ave necessarily made in siiver. Because we in the west are compoiled to employ silver coin exclusively affords no reason for forcing the same situation wpon others in the cast. It would be far bet- ter to supply small bills to the whole country than to withdraw those that are now so eagerly sought. ynors nssession THE suit begun by Attornoy General Miller against the Bell Telephone com- pany's Boetiiner patent should come on for hearing in the federal court for the district of Massachusotts next week. It is said that the defoendants have a stronger motive for seeking dispatch than for securing dels and that if there is unnecessary delay in this suit it will be chargeablo to thg, Department of Justice than to the Boll pany. It is not clearly apparent why the telophone monopoly should desive to have this matter pushed, but in event the public wishes and expe the attorney general to pross the suit to a conclusion with as littlo delay as possible. The popular impression is that the charge made by Attorney Gen- eral Miller that the #ell company was guilty of deliberate frand in connoetion with the Berliner patent is well founded and that a groat injustice is being done the public in permitting the monopoly to profit by that fraud. The case inter- ests every patron of the Bell company and posse an importance which it would be difficult to exaggerate. Any failure on the part of Attorney General Oluey to meet the responsibility de- volved upon him by his predecessor will certainly subjeet him to popular censure. her com- 08 THE little scheme by which southern senators and representatives areto show their gratitude for the assistance which thoy secured from their wostern col- leagues in defeating the force bill by joining in the opposition to the repeal of the Sherman silver purchase law is plausible but not probabie. Itis not the custom for representatives in congress to reciprocate favors in that way unless it was originally so stipulated. The southern men owe as much to the north- orn democrats as they do to western sil- verites. When it comes to breaking with their friends in the porth and giving upalladvantages in the way of vatronage which they may expect from the present sadministration, merely to show thanks for past valuable po- litical services, they will not be apt to go 80 fast. Those who opposes the repeal of the Sherman act in the fortheoming congress will do 50 cither because they believe in free coinage themselves or because they fear to offend constituents who believe in free coinage. The petty feature of log voll- ing will play but a smali part in & con- test of the magnitudo which the silver question promises to raise. WHEN two women compelled to do men's work on a farm find it wecessary toapply to the governor of New York for permission to wear male attive, it ap- vears to be time for the men who are forced to make their own beds during the absence of their families at the sea- shore to make application for permission to wear petticoats.
