Monopoly candidates on anti- monopoly platforms will no longer pass muster under the Australian ballot. The railroad camp followors must be repudiated if the party wants to avoid disaster. IN SPITE of the financial depression the East Omaha Land and Terminal company has pushed its work until the great steel bridge is about completed.

The passage of the maxi- o law by the lastlegislature pre mum | was the first tangible ovidence of the reform movement in this state. That { law is temporarily sel aside by the ap- | peal of the railroads to the federal courts, Dut in some way or another it is bound to come before the suprome court of this state. The tr law, another important measure for the people, will come before the suprome court for interpresation. Numberless cases are bound to arise under the oper- ation of beth these measures. Wiil the people quietly accept the dictation of tho railroad politicians who arc work- ing night and day for the overthrow of Judge ‘Maxwell? The sols matter at issue in the present ante-convention cam- paign is, shall the republican party nominate a man who is known to be en- tirely unprejudiced between the rail- roads and the people, a man who will be impartial to the interests of both, or shall a man be nominated who has passed the greater part of his legal career in the service of the corporations and whose associations, business rela- tions, and sympathies are pledged in ad- vanco to the men who have for years given thom employment? The repub- i arty of Nebraska has reached the ng of the ways. It must either go on record as the friend of an unbiased and unprejudiced judiciary, or it must became the sponsor of corporate monop- oly andthe apologist-of corruption and negligence in the management of state oflices. now HELPING BRITISH POLICY. In his able speech in the senate last week fn favor of the repeal of the silver purchase clause of tho Sherman act, Senator Allison said that what this country is doing now in the purchase of silver will have the effect of helping England to carry out her present Tndian policy. Ho had no idea that the gold standard could bo maintained in India, but none the less the pres this government regarding if continued, help the British policy in India. The inevitablo effvct of what we are doing here,” said Mr. Allison, “is either to uphold or to destroy or impair the ability of Ragland to maintain its policy in India. It we ccase to purchase silver it will be impossible, in my opinion, for England to carry out that policy and it will become an utter failure.” A varioty of reasons have been given in explana- tion of the action of the British govern- ment in closing the mints of India to the free coinage of silver on private ac- count, but whatever the urgent motive may have been everybody knows that the goneral policy of that government is to maintain the gold standard. It must be obvious that it will be the better able to do this so long as the United States continues to support silver under tho present poliey, but let this country abandon the task of holding up silve: alone and there is reason to bel that in time, perhaps not at on England will find it to be not only ex- pedient, but absolutely n ary, to enter into an international agreement that will give a larger recognition to sil- ver and practically rehabilitate it. Senator Allison, who wasa delegate tothe Brussels conference, acquired a great deal of information about the sentiment abroad on this subject, but it would seem that he is a little too opti- mistic regarding an international agreo- ment on silver. He said in his speech that if this government will undertake the policy of an international agreement as to silver and gold he believed that that policy will be accamplished and that within a brief period we will be able to vestore the parity between the metals. There is certainly no encouragement for* this view -in the latest utterances of the British chancellor of the exchequer, who recently declared © that her majesty’s government entirely adheres to the decluration made in the House of Commons several months ago, when tho question of renmewing international of- fort for the settlement of the silver question was presented, that any inte ference with the single monetary stand- ard now by law established in this coun- try is open to the greatest objections.” Commenting upon this the London Economist said: “This should put an end to the false idea under which the conference was first convened, that con- cossions ot some kind or other would be mwadoe by us to induce other nations to favor a scheme of international bimetallism.” That journal further said that in the existing circumstances it would obviously be futile to call the conference together again and it may be regarded as definitely dissolved. 1t 1s plain that the position of the British government has undergone nochange on this subject, though it may be true, as Senator Allison stated, that public opinion in Burope, including England, s not unfavorable to an international agreement that would result in utilizing both silver and gold, and it would seem probable that the effect of a discontinu- aoce by this government of tho purchase of silver would be to strongthen and extend this opinion. It is undoubtediy a fact that the rnments of Buropo have be- ved, and may still believe, that tho J 23 will go to free coinage and thus relieve them from their situa- tion and reliove us of our gold as well, and 50 long as they entertain this vi all efforts to secure an international agreement must fail. There is cogency in the argument that not those who ave in favor of discontinuing the purchase of silver but the advocates of free coin- age are helping Eagland to maintain her policy. P > JLEVELAND has ap- pointed W. B, Hornblower of New York to the vacancy on the supreme bench made by the death of Justice Blatch- ford, who was also from New York. The lawyer who has been raised to this dis- tinction is not widely known, but his prof state Is very high.

There will now be four democrats on the supreme bonch—Chief Justico Fuller and Justices Field, Jackson and Hornblowe position. The name number doubt was expressed as PURSUING THE RIGHT COURSE. ) Bolln has taken the right course in crediting the school fund with interest upon balances in his hands belonging to that fund. The law that requives the treasurer to turn over the interest dorived from deposits of the school fund may. technically be defect- ive. It is possible that the courts would hold that the provision in the amended chartor placing the school fund on the samo footing as all other city funds cannot bo enforced because the school district of Omaha, although having co-cqual boundaries with the oity. is, nevertheless, aseparate corporation and, therefore, not subject to charter regula- tion. On the other hand the courts might rule that the city treasurer is made custodian of the school fund by the charter provision that makes him ex-officio treasurer of the Board of Ed- ucation. Bo that as it may, the plain intent of the law and the lawmakers was that the school fund on deposit upon which interest would be paid by banks shall be treatod tho same as any other fund in the hands of the treasurer. In other words, that the interest derived from loaning the school fund to the banks shall acerue to the benefit of the schools and shall not be treated as a perquisite of the treasurer. This is only wrying out tho provisions of the statute which prohibits state, county and ity treasurers from appropriating ir own use the interest or profits devived from the loan or use of the pub- lic funds in their custody. Treasurer Bolln is, therefore, compl ing with the letter as well as the s of the law when he cr fund with the same rate of interest on ances that is now paid the ity by the designated depositories of other city funds. As regards the time when the st on school fund balances should bo credited there can be no divergence. The interest should be computed from the dato on which the charter wont into effect. The certified copy now on deposit in the clerk’s office will show on what day the law became operative. Treasurer ings by the ways and means committee of representatives of interests affected by the tariff will come to anend today. So far as the effect upon a ro- ion of the tariff i ncerned thoy might as well not have been held. It has been appavent from the beginning that the whole proceeding was entirely perfunctory, the democratic majority feeling that 1t was necessary to recog- nize the precedents which had been es- tablished, and they have shown for past that they were tirved of it, a ng that would be naturally pro- duced by the fact that nearly all the testimony they have received has been in support of the protection policy. They have been given the opinions of foreign importers in opps tion to this policy, and the representa- tives of a few manufacturing interests have spoken in favor of lower duties, but the weight of testimony has been the other way. The impatience of the majority has been shown in the course of the chairman of the committee in summarily cutting off testimony that was favorable to the existing tariff— a course which the republican members protested against in vain. 2 It is stated that the committeo will have a taviff bill ready to report within the next thirty days, and probably one could be ready in even less time if it were necessaty. It has been reported that Chairman Wilson had one framed some time ago, and if s0 it should not take long to make such changes and modifications in it as will be satisfactory to the democratic members of the com- mittee who have special interests to guard. There is an imp-ession also that the administration, or the treasury end of if, has been at work on a measure of rovision, and in that case there need be no waste of time in getting a bill ready to report. As understood, the re- publicans of the committee will not ba consulted until a bill is completed, and then only as a matter of courtesy, for, of course, nothing they may propose or suggest will be adopted, ‘Thoy will be given the opportunity to bring in a minority report if they are disposed to do 50, and that is all, Whether any measure will bo re- ported L mbor is uncertain, but if congress is to continue in session, s now app from the de- clared purpose of the v senators to fight repeal of the silver purchasy law 1o the last extremity, it would seem: to be the proper thing on the part of the house o enter upon the ¢ msideration of a tariff bill as soon as one is ready. The industrial interests of the country are anxious to know what they may expect, and while they ave less depressed by reason of tariff uncortainty than they were a month ago, a full resumption of activity is not to be expected while these interests are in a state of suspense. The fact that mills and factories have re- sumed operations is largely due to the bolief that the administration is op- posed to anything in the nature of a destructive attack on the tariff, the president having very plainly indicated that ho is not In sympathy with the demand of the national plat- form in this r But in any event the republ ity in both brauches of congress, and particularly in the senate, is a secure bulwark against tarift revision on free trade lines. However willing the republicans in congress may be to allow the domiuant party to shoulder the responsibility for 1 tion, it is entirely safe to say that they will not sit in their seats and allow the industries of the country to be destroyed or seriously erippled by anabaudonment 1 & democrat in politics, but | Doubte | | dustrial interestare not blind to this sateguard to th —— THERE is a soWdd of supreme gratifica- tion in the fact Wiat this state has a gov- ernor who can puta proper estimate upon the visionary schemes of the so- called Pan-Amorican Bimetallic associ- ation—a vory Nigh-sounding title, by the way. We efimend the closing par- agraph of his rdeent lotter addressed to the secretary of that association to the prayerful consideration of Paul Vander- voort and Joo Idgerton, to whom the governor must have referred, among other things, when he said: Mr. Nowell, Nebraska, throngh no consent of mine, will join in sowing the seeds of secossion at St. Louis, If she appears there it will be through volunteers. Not unlike somo states in her neighborhood, sho has plenty of individuals who could, no doubt, delight your convention. They are, for the most part, men who have not earned a place o’ our assess- ment rolls, and who, having demo strated their inability to conduct their own affairs successfully, think them- selves qualified to join Florida, Old Mexico and Arvgentine in instructing the world on the subject of finunce. These gentlemen, whose financial ability holds no parity with their ability to talk, would gladly engage in a wordy crusade up to the ‘bridle bits’ against the imaginary conspirators of London, Berlin, New York and Boston.” No, A REMARKABLI disclosure was made in the United States senate a fow days ago. It was contained in petitions pro- sented by Senator Cullom of Illinois, largely signed by ex-soldiers resident in that state, alloging that they were beset by detectives of the government, traveling in disguise, who, with friendly protenses, visit the homes of pensioners and seek to find some clew upon which the pension office may act. The peti- tioners appeal to congress for protection against this spy system. The allegation seems almost incredible, but Senator Cullom regarded it as a matter of suffi- cient importance to be made a subject of inquiry, and the senate committeo on pensions, of which Senator Palmor is chairman, will undoubtedly investigato it. 1If the allegation is found to be true it will arouse a popular feeling of r sentment that will force the men at Washington responsible for it out of their positions and into permanent politi- cal retirement. I7 18 said that the “private secretary” is now printing 10,000 Nebraska folders for the Elkhorn railroad, containing that remarkable biography of Candidate Frick. The important incidents of the latter’slife areall there. Weare told that he went to Kansas and was stricken down with malaria, but soon after recovered in order that he might return to Ne- braska and subscribe for the North American Review, the Popular Science Monthly and the Elkhorn Time Table. Upon this kind of mental pabulum he waxed strong and influential and it came to pass that an all-pervading ambition for raw equity took possesston of his soul. These foldersare for dis- tribution in the northern counties of the state. One of them in the pocket of a proxy delegate accompanied by a round trip employe's pass to Lincoln will be considered equivalent to a vote for Frick. ON BUSINESS priunciples the man who has been tried and proved himself worthy of confidence will be retained by his employers, because a man who knows the ropes is always more useful and valuablo than the man whois untried and has to grove his way, and we be- lieve it 10 be good policy to pursue the same course with regard to the public service. All things being equal, it is safer ana more profitable to keep the men who have been tried and proved true than to venture on experiments, When an official after a fair trial shows himself to be incompetent and un- trustworthy he should bo givon his walking pape For more than a month the annual pass brigade in Douglas have had but one objection to offer to Judge Maxwell’s renomination. Every mother's son of ‘em will tell you that the judge is got- ting old and that his prejudices warp his judiciul opinions. What are the ages of members of the federal supreme bench, and how many more decisions did tho younger colleagues of Maxwell render than did he the past two years? As for the matter of prejudice, how about his vote on raw equity of tha impeachment? Let the oil room brigade guess again. A 600D business man will keep com- petent, efficiont and faithful employes and turn out the lazy, dishonest and in- compotent ones, The same rule should apply inall public employments. Officers who have done their duty faithfully should be retained and those who are incompotent, dishonest and unr ble should be turned out. If this rule is observed in the lmpending campaign wo shall have good city and county govern- ment for the next bwo years, Now THAT little Esther has had hor horoscope taken by an castern astrolo- ger and the world has been informed that the American princess has four planets near a cofjunction in the mid- heaven the mothers of all the other babies will be hunting up astrologers to find out whether, their dearies are placed anywhere in conjunction with the heavenly astgpisks. Horoscoping will be all the rage {rom now on. e THE conditions Which have prevailed in the financial world during the past summer months have at least had one beneficial effect. They have put a stop to the indiscriminate voting of bonds for uncalled for improvements. Nebraska has reached that stage of its develop- ment where the people of a county or precinet should think the matter over very seriously before voting aid to new railroad systems. THE envoy of the provisional govern- ment of Hawaii is back in Washington and he gives the country the informa- tion that there is no lack of confidence in the government he represents. He | also says that the men in political con- to anything but annexation to the United States and that the whole island is hanging upon that hope. We shall soon have a new minister at Honolulu, but it is not likely that the American peoplo will get any official statement of the feoling thers or any intimation regard- ing the policy of the administration until after the meeting of the regular session of congress. The report of Mr. Blount is in the hands of the seerotary of state and very likely the policy of the administration has alroady been settled upon, but there is no urgency inthe matter. The reappearanco of. Envoy Thurston at Washington, however, may bo expected to give fresh inspivation to the advocates of annexation, who have been very quiet for some time. They will find the American people no better disposed than before to accept their ar- guments. OWING to enforeed by strict prohibitive rules World's fair managers in the carly days of the great exposition, one or two commendablo enterprises designed expressly to advertise Omaha were abandoned. Now, as the end of tho big show approaches, the bar is be- ing gradually let down, and at the same time the fair attendance is larger than ever. There is an opportunity presented t0 mako Omaha's commerecial power known to the thousands who will seck locations after the international ball is over, THE proposition to admit Arizona to the sisterhood of states may be an allar- ing one to the few people who inhabit that remnant of the Great American Desert, but it will hardly commend itself to the suber good judgment of the people of the United State: Arizona will hardly be mado a state as long as Nevada stands before the country as an example of injudicious statesmanship. THE disgraceful scenes enacted on the floor of the state convention at Hastings in 1880, when Judge Reese was buried under the weight of passes and proxies, ave still frosh in the minds of the people of Nebraska. The political revolution which followed in 1800 was one of the logical results of that eanvention. Will the convention of 1893 be a companion picce to the one of 18 TuE result of tho campaign in Ohio may be taken as a pretty fair index of the sentiment of the people of that state with reference to the tariff question, With Governor McKinley as the leader of the republican forces the issue could searcely e joined onany other question, It is either tariff or free trade with the Buckeye state this year. WHAT the republic of Brazil evidently stands in need of is a little of the strengthening influence of Dom Pedro, the man who gave to that people a government with more liberty than it has enjoyed under the republic for the past fow years. The word republic is not always synonymous with liberty. THE Board of Education has this summer expended vast sums for hot air furnaces, steam heaters, hot air vonti- lators and all sorts of devices for heating the school buildings. It now remains to be seen whether the heaters will heat, Experience in the past has not beon very encouraging in that respect.
