The publication of Judge Maxwell's card declaring his preference for Judge Holcomb as his successor on the supreme bench has brought down upon his head a shower of abuse and vituperation from the railroad republican press. Heisstig- matized as an ingrate, imposter and polit- ical apostate. Men who were yet unborn when Judge Maxwell was battling for republican principles and advocating re- publican doctrine seek to discredit his standing as a republican. The fact is Judge Maxwell was one of the founders of the ropublican party. He was a re- publican when it was all a man’s life was worth to bo known as a republican. Ho was a delogate to the republican ter- ritorial convention, and through evil report and good report has been and is now a consistent republican. Repub- licanism with him is a creed, inspired by a love of human freedom, equal rights for all men, a government for tho people, by the people. Judge Maxwell believes in the republicanism that had for its motto “Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.” . Judge Maxwell, with thousands of re- publicans,belioves that we have reached a crisis 10 the affairs of this state which justifios and demands resistance to cor- porate domination. Regarding the su- preme court as the main pillar of lib- orty, justice and equity, Judge Maxwell fecls deoply imbued with the conviction that the election of Harrison would be destructive to the very foundation of a republican form of government. He is convinced that no man who®owes his nomination to corporate influence is fit to hold the scales of justice. He is of the opinion that a position once filled by Lake, Gantt and Reese should bs filled only by a capavle lawyer, courageous, conseientious and indepgndent. No one knows better than he the necessity for independence and fearlessness in that office. These qualities, Judge Maxwell has reason to believe, Judge Holecomb possesscs in an eminent degree, while he believes that Harrison is lamentably de- ficient, It 15 idle to talk about Harrison as not being the choice of the corporations. That fact is disproved by the attempt of the railways to force his election and the great offorts of their subsidized organs to prove that he is in sympathy with the people against monopolies. In common with thousands of repub- licans Judge Maxwell believes that the election of Harrison would,be trimpeted about as a great triumph of the corpora- tions, just as was his nomination. It is an open secret now that the supporters of Maxwell had no more show in the so- called republican convention than .a man would have in staking his money in a game with loaded dice. Judge Harri- son’s appearance asa supporter of Ab- bott was a mere masquerade improvised for the occasion, but prepared with the utmost care in railroad headquarters weeks beforo the curtain went down on the farce. It is because Judge Maxwell loves re- publican principlesand republican insti- tutions that he refused to allow his name to be used as an enthusi- astic endorser of the candidate foisted upon the party by the most shameless methods. does not make him an apostate from the republi- can creed, but on the contrary a fearless advocate of the right of the people to govern themselves, and that is the es- sence of true republicanism. BUILDING UP THE MERCHANT MARINE. A question which is certain to com- mand very earnest discussion during the regular session of congress and to re- ceive a very large amount of public at- tention relates to restoring the country’s merchant marine. Itis a very impor- tant question, in which every section of the country has an interest and not merely the seaboard states, as many people who have given the mattera merely superficial consideration are apt to think. When it is understood that the producers and manufacturors of this country are annually paying to foreign ship owners for freights about $200,000,- 000, only a very small part of which is expended in this country, 1t does not require any vory profound perception to see that this is a heavy drain on us, and it is a drain that is steadily increas- ing from year to year. The people who raise wheat and corn, cotion and cattle are paying the larger part of this great sum which is carried out of the country to pay foreign labor in ship-building and swell the gains of alien vessel owners. Obviously, therefore, these people have a material interest in the question of providing an . American merchant marine that will transport those commodities and expend the freight money for home labor and in the purchase of ship supplies. The same logic applies to our manufacturers, with the additional consideration that having to depend upon foreign ships for trans- portation puts them to something of a disadvantage in competition ‘with for- eign manufacturers, Theycannot make as favorable terms as the fureigner, and there are other conditions which give the latter an advantage. Kvidence of this is to be found in abundance in the history of our trade with the countries south of us and it was the consensus of opinion among the representatives to the pan-American congress a few years ago that adequato lines of transporta- tion betweon the United States and the countries of South and Central America were absolutely necessary to develop trade between ourselves and those coun- tries. The question is a wholly practical one. Everybody who has an intelligent idea of the subject will admit thata great commercial nation like the United States, whioh is constantly seek- ing to expand and extend its trade, ought to have a merchant marine com- mensurate with the transportation de- mands of the country. At this time not to exceed 12 per cent of the imports and exports of the country are carried in American bottoms. Before the rebel- lion three-fourths of the ocean-carrying trade was done in our own yessels. How to rogain the position on the seas which we lost in consequence of the re- bellion is a quostion that has received the attentidn of every congress during the past twenty-five years. A bill has been framed for the consideration of the pres- * 1 ent congress which proposes to solve thizquestion, but 1t is not of a nature that will commend it to the whole American peoplo. Tt provides for the free admission to American registry of foreign-built ships to be employed in the foreign trade, a policy which would be of immense advantage to British ship builders, but would not help in the least the home ship-building industry. This meagure, itis ontirely safe two predict, will encounter the united opposition of the republicans in congress, but it is nevertheless probable that it will become alaw. Itds, perhaps, loss radical than was to have been expected, since it does not include vessels engaged in the coast- wise trade, thus leaving to the Ameri- can ship-building industry a resource that will at least prevent it from dying out. The free ship policy is in accord with the democratic national platform and doubtless will therefore prevail. WHAL D ES IT MEAN 1 The republican state committee has a right to print a campaign sheet in Omaha or any other place. Nobody will question the right of the committee to circulate any campaign literature which its mémbers may imagine or be- lieve will strengthen the state ticket or any of the candidates on the ticket, state or local, It is purely a matter of con- jecture whether the committee is mak- ing yotes for Judge Harrison in Omaha and Douglas county by importing the man who runs a railroad job office and organ at Fremont to tell Omaha people that it is (lmir duty and their interest toelect a‘m#n to the supreme bench who owes his nomination to the railroad managevs, the fire insurance lobby and the Linetoln boodlers. It is u piece of impertinence, however, for the republican state contral commi tee to use its campaign sheet for advo- cating the million and a half bond proposition which -is begotten by Has- call and Wileyv and fathered by Dr. Miller. What business has the state central committeo to meddle with any local question that is in no way, shape or manner a party issue? Why should outsiders, who don't pay a dollar of tax in Omaha and never expect to, intrude their advice to our citizens and recommend that they mortgage their homes for a million and a half for a job that is being engineered through under false protenses. What we infer from the use of the Slaughter campaign sheet except that a tie-up has beon made by the ringsters who constitute the committee with Has- call and the canal promoters. Doos-it not manifestly show that a trade has been made whereby the committeo is to uso its campaign sheet to champion the canal bonds, and Hascall, Wiley & Co. are to reciprocate by pulling together for Harrison? If this is,not the true inwardness of the efforts made by the campaign organ for the bonds what excuse could there be for the attempt to commit the re- publicans of this city to the support of the bogus bond proposition? To a man up a tree it looks very much as if Slaughter has bundled in Harrison with Hascall and the bond outfit. L ANGTHER CONTRIBUTUR REWARDED The Cleve landadministration is evi- dently grateful to those who contributed liberally to the democratic campaign fund last year. By his generous sub- scription Mr. Van Alen secured the mission to Italy, and now another con- tributor of cold cash to the democratic cause has boen appointed to a diplo- matic position, presumably as the re- ward of his substantial interest in the party. A London dispatch of Wednes- day stated that the appointment of James Roosevelt as secretary of the United States embassy, to succeed Henry White, caused quite a com- motion in the American colony there, even Ambassador Bayard ex- pressing surprise ‘at the change and denying that there was any reason for it, as had been alleged, in the rela- tions between himself and the secrotary. Mr. White had been in the position for the past ten years, and had filled it most acceptably. It is said that Amer- icans who have visited in London and had business with our minister are universally of the opinion that Mr. White was emphatically the right man in the right place. The New York Post said in referring to the demand for his resignation: “We doubt if anybody has ever brought as much tact, industry, patience and good temper to the dis- charge of the duties of the sec- retaryship. He was invaluable to Mr. Lowell and Mv, Phelps, and Mr. Bayard s, we understand, very desirous of having him stay. To turn him out now for anewcomer is as serious an of- fense against our diplomatic service abroad as could be committed.” The same journal states, and it is not in the habit of making statements haphazard, that Mr. Roosevelt is understood to have contributed $19,000 to the demo- cratic campaigno fund. In this fact is to ba found the explana- tion'of Mr. Roosevelt's appointment, for it cannot be claimed that it was made for the good of the service, in view of the excellent recdrd which Mr, White has made. Even were the new secretary a man of exceptional ability and large diplomatic experience, which is not pretended, it could not reasonably be hoped that he would fill the position more acceptably than Mr. White has done, because according to all testimony the latter gentloman has met every re- quirement. Mr. Roosevelt is conceded to be capable and he has had some dip- lomatic experience, but it was his cam- paign contribution and not his fitness that was considered in the appointment. Van Alen bought an ambassadorship with $30,000 and now Mr. Roosevelt ob- tains the secretaryship of an embassy ata eost of $10,000. Wealthy democrats who aspire to represent this country abroad will do well to bear these figures in mind. The present administration has not won any glory by its foreign appoint- ments. With very few exceptions, bath in the diplomatic and consulur services, they have not been of & very high stan- dard, and the cases of appointments which appear to have been made purely as a return for campaigo contributions give strong warrantfor the belief that the administration regards the foreign service of the country as for the most part a convupie t moans of paying off partisan obliggtipns, At any rate there is in the poheral character of the appointments fhat have been made noth- ing to indicate any great concern about the usefuiness of the service or any strong desirg (9 elevate its character. Yet Mr. Clevoland has at some time, 1f we are not mistdken, had somathing to say about imprb¥ing our foreign service by applying to ft civil servico princi- ples, appointing practical men rather than politigians; and placing it for the most part on a' #horough business basis. It he has ovht’ seriously entertained these views he seems to have ubandone( them, or is some one else responsible for these appointments? FRECT ABROAD. Thus far no very notablo effect has been produced abroad by the action of this country regarding silver, and judg- ing from the expressions of the Euro- pean press and financiers no effect of a very marked character is to be expected. There was a br{sk selling of Amorican socurities in London after repeal had pussed the senate, but it is probable that this was entirely spoculative. A possi- ble withdrawal of gold from England, and perhaps also from Germany and France, may be anticipated, but if so it does not appear to cause any ap- prehension in financial circles in those countries. It was natur- ally to be expected that the dis- continuance of silyer purchases by this government would produce a decided effect in France, Austria and Italy, but at none of the bourses was there any- thing to show that the matter was re- gavded as important. The reports arc that the effect had been discounted and that bankers and financiers welcomed the action of this government as the only means of restoring beneficial rela- tions with the United States. Yet it would seem that so radical a change of policy regarding ‘a money metal of universal use must have, sooner or later, a far-reaching effect. It can hardly fail to increase the’ difficulties of the Indian financial situation, = while France, which is carrying the bulk of the silver of continental Europe, will be likely to feel a stronger desire than ever tb be relieved of the obligations involved in her connection with: the Latin union. Austria, which has but recently placed her currency on a gold basis, may possi- bly find some trouble in maintaining that basis, whichis not very strongly fortified. As to'taly, she is so nearly bankrupt that whatever may happen her financial copdition could not be much worse than.itis, and hence it is not surprising;: that the action of this governmeut should have been regarded there with itididference. There are smaller countrifd of 'Europe which it would seem must in time feel the effects of the reduced @emand for silver caused by the action of tiis country. The Prussian finance minister, a man of eminent ability, expressel the opin- ion that the repeal of the silver pur- chase uct will ifacilitute the regulation of an internatiohil cuprency, If this shall prove to a-correct view the action of this government. will be most amply vindicated. FOR five years the county court has had & cash balance at bank averaging no less than $25,000 a year. * Word has passed from one candidate to another that the interest on this fund amounts to more than $1,000 annually. This is the personal perquisite of the county judge and by skillful manipulation ot the moneys as paid into court the inter- est increment can be swelled to a very handsome figure. This fund is made up of the proceeds of sales of property, the settlement of estates, divorce cases and by other process known to the legal pro- fessiop. At any rate, the county court is permitted to handle the money. Cases involving the payment of such funds by the court to litigants may or may not be expedited at the option of the judge. The more they are permitted to drag the larger the interest account grows. It has been charged that Judge Eller has not been in the habit of parting with the funds left in his court until the last moment. He appreciates a good thing as much as anybody else, COLORADO pink granite ought to be satisfactory material for the new federal building and the decision to use it will be welcomed if it serves to expedite the much-delayed construction. It is, how- ever, rather late to resume work this season, but having all winter to arrange for an early start the contractor should e able to make good headway in the spring. The people of Omaha hope to transact their postal business in the new building sometime before the dawn of the twentieth century.

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. How long can the apparently inevitable Buropean war bo postponed? The nations are prepared, their trensurc chests have been filled as the result of years of careful managemont, their navies have been brought ton high degres of readiness, their ships are numerous and as formidable as the latest invontions and discoveries of science can make them, and the enormous armies, which have drained the states of the flower of the population, have been drillod, discin- tined, mobilized, till it is scarcoly an exag- geration to say that no more than twent four hours notice is needed to begin hostil- itles. What the cause of the war shall be seems a master of small consequence. Of course, each ruler has clear conceptions of what he hopes to accomplish by a war, but 8 to what shall servo as an oxcuse is a matter which will probably receivo little or no attention—-almost anything will do. Austria, Germany and Italy have that community of interest which makes them allies. Frano d Russia aro believed to havo an understanding that thoy will stand by each other. England is free from on tanglements and yet is so dir y interested in almost any subject of quarrel that may be made use of to start the fighiing that wheri the moment comes she will scarcely be ablo to kecp entirely freo of the general complication. The outlook is all the more gloomy when 1t is roflocted that if war should come it must inevitably involve all of turope, broadly speaking. The situation is such that it soems out of the question that France and Germany shall fly at cach othet’s throats, for instance, or Russia and Enrland shall engage in tho ev struggle over tho sick man of Europo with- out drawing the other great powers, with the possible exception of Spain, into the conflict. o ‘The political situation in Austria is well- nigh chaotic. Count Tanffe was forced to rosign the premiership gr face ‘almost cor- tain defeat in Parliament, and no other leader seems to be forthcoming who is ac- ceptable to a majority of the Reichsrath. No'party has & majority in that body and only a comhination ministry can be sustained. The difficulty is that the de- mands of the parties are so diverse as to be vractically irreconcilable, so thata com- promise program has been an impossibility so far. Count Taaffe had two definite ob- jects. He wantea the passage of the suf- frage bill, which would have moro than doubled the number of voters in the em- pire, and he wanted parliamentary ap- proval of the severe measures which had been taken to check the disturbances in Bohemia. The Germans, the noble and the | rich middle classes, opposed.the extension of the suffrage, whilo all parties of the Bo- hemians opposed tho approval of the oppres- sive measures applied m that country. The consequence was that a government major- ity i the Reichsrath was an impossibility and government defeat inevitable. The ministry was Itself divided over the clec- toral reform bill and Count Kalnoky, minis- ter of foreign affairs, had threatened to re- sign if it was prossed as a government meas- ure. On the other hand, there is a strong popular demand for the bill, which is 1n the interests of popular representation i the Reichsrath. Ifit bo enacted it will fali very far short of establishing universal suffrage. It will only give the ballot to one man in four or five, and those of classes most nearly allied to the property and privi- leged interests. Nevertheless it is a long step toward democracy, and is a part of that irresistible movement toward popular domination which is slowly making its way over Europe. Count Taaffe1s said to have warned the opponents of his bill that it was the partof wisdom for them to make this concession noy, and avoid being compelled to make a much greater one later, and the em- peror is declared to agree with the minister and warm personal friends in the view. The reintroduction of the bill, after it had once been withdrawn, 18 credited to the initia- tive of the emperor. Whoever Taaffe's suc- cessor may be he must face the same demand from the people and protest from tho priyi- leged classes, and will find ita difficult task to steer a middle path. Probably the Reichsrath will be dissolved and a new elec- tion ordered, in the hope of thereby obtain- ing the majority, which will support some well-defined policy. *. Spain is 80 very dead that it is only once ina great while that anything is heard of her, but there are indications that the coun- try of tho Hidalgos will figure rather prominently inthe foreign dispatches for some few weoeks to come. The origin of the disturbance which is agitating western Morocco, and which led to tne recent serious fighting at Melilla is obscure, but the inci- dent is assuming some degree of gravity, and threatens to cause Spai a good deal of trouble. Of course, the Spaulards have no particular right to exerciso dominion in Morocco, but in Africa more perhaps than in any other portion of vhe globe might mukes right, and owing to the contiguity of that part of Africa where the trouble has occurred to Spanish territory, the Spaniards have long regarded it as part of their possessions. They have allowed the sultans of Morocco to continue in the occu- pation of their hereditary throne, but theiwr condition has been that of an unformulated vassalage, and if any particularly good thing turned up in Moroceco the Spaniards have claimed a right to appropriate it. Kven now this claim is not being disputed by the rec- ognized government of the country. The hostiles are a lawless, predatory tribe, over whom the sultan himself is unable to enforce his nominal authority. They are fanatics, who are ammated by a fierce desire to exter- minate *the infidels,” and who are engaged in that most rancorous of conflicts, a so- enllod “holy war.” The Riffians are going to put Spain to o lot of trouble and expense before all is said and done. " According to a Vienna correspondent there is reason to believe that the socialist movement is making rapid progress in Austria, Tnere have been, at all events, no fewer than thirty-six new workinzmen’s assoclations founded in Vienna within the last three months, which briugs up the total number to something over 800, Theirorgan- ization I8 excellent, whereas the employers of labor for their part have shown a marked deficiency in that respect. The factis that in tnis country the employers of iabor ave, from a variety of veasons, hopelessly dis- united. The consequence is that the work- wen have the whiv hand. The socialists ar not yet formally recognized as a politicale party, but they are to all intents and pur- poses treated as such.

Benjamin Dietz, a Cincinnati wet grocery- man, had a roll of §1,800 when the bank panic overspread the land. The roll was deposited 1n a safety stoue in the Dietz cellar.
