THE melaucholy intelligence drifts this way from Washington that the ad- voeates of free silver coinage are prepar- paring for another terrific onslanght upon the prosperity of the country in the* coming session of congress. These people do not seem to realize that the eountry has rejected their ideas as not in accord with the favorable develop- ment of commereial prosperity, THE people of the United States will naturally commend the action of the ad- ministration in ordering the release of the Russian exiles who escaped from the mines of Siberia only to full into the hands of the authorities of this country. There is unquestionably a strong senti- ment in this country against the im- prisonment of men for their political opinions and the administration has em- phasized this idea in the strongest possi- ble manner, CHOES OF THE SILVER DEBATE. A corrospondent addresses a lengthy letter to THE BEE requesting considera- tion of saveral questions bearing upon the recent silver discussion and confess- ing that notwithstanding the prolific speeches, articles, debates and so forth that have appeared in the daily and periodical press during the entire sum- mer just past he still kaows very little of the subject and finds much company in his ignorance. The mass of material upon the question of silver that hus been imposed upon the patient reader must ithout doubt have proven bewildering to many and have left them with ideas more con- fused than before. Kvents since the passage of the repeal bill have, however, gone far to cloar up some of the falla- s which, then appeared most attract- ive. In the first place we are asked whether, granting that the government should not bind itsell to purchase the product of any person, community or state, suddenly abolishing such a policy would not have been inflicting an un- warrantable hardship upon the indus- tries which had been led to look upon that patronage us a sort of vested right. The fact that the predicted hara- «hip gives little prospect of ma- torializing goes far toward answering the question in the negative. The great distress of the silver mining states was produced while the Sherman act was in forco and while treasury purchases con- tinued at the rate of 4,500,000 ounces per month. One of the potent causes of this crisis was the very existence of that act and the fear engendered by it that its operation was tending to bring the gov- ernment to a condition where it could no longer redeem the outstanding treasury notes in gold. We sce now that the re- peal of the Sherman law has had little effect upon the silver mining states ex- cept for the better. Its probable influ- enco was discounted in advance by owners of silver, and the recent fluctu- ations of the silver market have not been directly traceable to the legislation of congress. Postponing the operation of the repeal law might have done much to obstruct our return to financial pros- v, while its influence upon the min- ing districts would have been almost imperceptible. A second question propounaed is, **Whether it is not probable that the free silver interests were not ably looked after in the late skirmish?” The general opin- ion seems tobe that every advantage was taken by the leaders of the minority which it was possible for them to secure under the circumstances. The fact that thoy had the senate practically at their merey for week after week goes to show that the silver interests were well looked after from beginning to end. The complaint all the time went in an oppo- site direction, many of the repeai advo- cates doubting the sincerity of Senator Voorhees, in whose hands the conduct of the bill was entrusted. The silver forces were beaten because they were in the minority, aot because they lacked able leaders. As to the causes of the recent silver crisis it is doubtful if people will ever be agreed. These causes were many and intricate. Some of them were more imyortant than othets, and among the m -t impoctant, if not the most impor- tant, was the distrust oceasioned by the Sherman silver purchase law. This distrust was by no means confined to banking circles. It was general throughout all classes of the commu- nity. In removing the cause of this di trust the ropeal bill is operating as a powerful factor to restore the old-time prosperity. FAST TRAIN VICE. The close of the World’s fair has been made the occasion by the railroads not only of reducing the number of | eer trains which had heretofore been vunning, but also of readjusting the time schedules all along the line. This readjustment of the time schedules is taking on a two-fold aspect. In the cast the tendency is to discontinue the fast trains as against those that make the runs with more moderate speed. In the west the railroads ave inclined to restore the fast time, which was re- laxed during the period of World’s faiv traffic The reason alleged for the removal of the fast train service botween New York and Chicago is simply that it does not pay. It was inaugurated last spring as a special feature of the Columbian year. Extra fare was charged and no patrons sought, except among the so-called ex- clusive set. While during the sum- mer’s heavy traflic the extra fare trains were crowded most of the time and repaid the railroad companies for the additional outlay involved, the ordinary passenger continued to pu- tronize the ordinary trains. At the close of the exposition the fast train was retained as un experiment for a few weeks, but the traflic dropped off so con- siderably that it soon proved to be a losing investment for the railroad com- panies, This means that the American traveling public, as a rule, does not value its time sufficiently high to pay the price asked for the difference be. tween moderately fast time and extraor- dinavily fasv time. The extra fare bars the way to popularity. The attitude of the railroads west of Chicago toward the World's fair traffic was almost the opposite of this from the very first. Instead of putting on faster trains or increasing the speed of those already running they veduced the time hedule then in force. The reasons given were that with the expected in- creased passenger treffic the danger of accident would be greater and the prob- ability of delays more certain, To avoid these dangers they lengthened the time for the run, assuring the veople that the change was temporary only, Now that the rush is over the railroads are either restoring the former fast train service or making preparations to do so. The time, of course, is not nearly so fast as that waintained by the eastern roads, but as no extra fare is charged the accommo- dations as respects speed will satisty the average of the passengers. Extra fare tralns never were popular in the west and itis doubtful whether they would pay a8 well here as they have further east. The normal time schedule will have to suffice us for the present and THE _OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1893 faster service will have to be offered feom time to time as special induce- ments to patronize particular railroads. ™ RETARY RU: Although it has been known for some time that ex-Secretary Rusk was suffer- ing from a serious illness at his home in Wisconsin, the encouraging reports that have been dmly given out makes the announcement of his death seem sudden and almost startling in its effect. The people of the Urited States, without ex- ception, will hear of his decease with sorrow and regret—a sorrow which will bo felt the more keenly the more inti- mate has been the acquaintance with him when alive. This much can be said of the dead ex- secretary of agriculture, that he did not sucenmb to the inevitable until after he had completed a fairly well-rounded carcer. Born in Ohio, but from early manhood a resident and citizen of Wis- consin, he devoted the best years of hLis life to the interests of his fellows and the public service of hisstate and na- tion. Firstasa volunteer in the army which fought for the perpetuation of the union he displayed such loyalty and bravery as to win him the title of brig- adier general by brevet. As comptroller of the state of Wisconsin, as representa- tive in the lower house of congress three times re-clected, he paved the way for a popularity that should seat him for three successive terms in the gubernatorial chair of the state of his adoption. : Called from his vosition at the head of Wisconsin state politics into the field of national political service, he entored the cabinet of President Harrison as secretary of agriculture. In this capac- ity he gave to the administration the benefit of his best abilities and advice— advice that was always veceived by his assceiates with a due appreciation of its sincerity and worth., The second head of the Agricultural department since it was released from subordination to the secretary of the interior, he clevated its status from a mere burean to a de- partment in fact as well as in name. Secretary Rusk is the third to disap- pear ot that distinguished group of sratesmen who were called by President Harrison to assist him in administering the national government restored to re- publican rule. The personal fortunes of the members of that group have not been what their friends and fellow citi- zens would have wished. The death of **‘Uncle Jerry” is one of the severest blows which the survivors will be called upon to bear. FOR AN OPEN INVESTIGATION. The property and buildings committee of the Board of Education, composed of Messrs. Elgutter, Smythe and Morrison, has preferred formal charges against Sam Macleod, superintendent of build- ings. These charges alloge irregulari- ties, mismanagement, incompetency and abuse of authority. President Powell appointed a committee of five to investi- gate and report, but,contrary to common courtesy of deliberative bodies, the standing committee which presented the charges was ignored by the president in the selection of the investigating com- mittee. This act is sasceptible of but one interpretation: The president of the board is opposed to a fair and impartial hearing and has named committeemen whose prejudices are known to be favorable to the accused. We do not say that Messrs. Akin, Duryea, Pierson, W. N. Babcock and Thomas are men who will readily discard all dam- aging testimony and admit only that favoruble to Macleod. We are not ready to say that the members of the investi- gating committee will prejudge the case and render a whitewashing decision in the face of positive evidence in support of the churges preferred. We do con- tend, however, tnat in the interest of a fair, unbiased and thorough investiga- tion of Macleod’s official misconduct, the supporters of the committee on buildings and property should have been accorded representation on the in- vestizating committee. That done, the public at large would have more con- fidenco in the ultimate decision when announced. It has developed since the meeting of the board that President Powell is op- posed to an open investigation and is determined that the proceedings shall bo ¢onducted in star-chamber session This fact will be construed by the public to mean that the president of the board is paving the way for a whitewash for Macleod, regardless of the testimony to be adduced. The people of Omaha are unalterably opposed to star-chamber investigations. They want to know what their repre- sentatives are doing. If the evidence to be presented before the committee shall be insufficient to support the charges preferred the people will veadily concede it if the testimony and the facts are fully made publie. If, on the other hand, the charges are proved to be well founded, the people have a right to know the facts upon which the judgment of the committtee is based. THr BEE appeals to the special com- mittee of the board for a fair, open in- vestigation. Wae do not believe that the committee can afford to lock itself up and deny the public the right of listen- ing to the proceedings of the trial. E———— THE assistant attorney general affirms the ruling that excludes the bogus bond investment companies from the use of the United States mailsin the further- ance of their fraudulent schemes, This, however, will not drive the bond swin- dles out of business. As long as there ave dupes to bo had they will find other means to operate, provided the state courts do not put an end to their exist- ence. That they are constantly violat- ing state laws is the opinion of every member of the State Banking Board. Ave they to be left undisturbed to prey upon the weak and the unwary? IN ORDERING a now trial of the suit which William R. Laidlow brought against Russell Sage for 50,000 damages for serving the millionaire as a shield against the deadly effects of tho bomb thrown at him by the crank Noreross last winter, the court of appeals of New New York lays down some interesting rules for the guidance of inferior tribunals in cases of this kind. It says that if the defendant as much as laid a hand upon Ul with #ho intention of pro- tecting himselt’ fiom danger he com- mitted an infi{fy’ upon the latter for which he Is answerable in damages. 1f hc wants to plead in mitigation of those damages the ftet that the plaintilf would have suffered just as much had he not lald hands upon him he will be com- pelled to prove this by positive evidence. The courtof appeals shiits the burden of proof in this respett from the plaintiff to the defendant, distinctly reversing the lower court, which had held that the plaintiff must show that he suffered greater injury. by.reason of the defend- ant's action thanihe would otherwise have suffered. With this ruling in his favor Laidlow is almost sure to get a verdict for large damages. e has had the sympathy of the people all along, who thought that the law ought to af- ford a remedy injuries thus sus- tained. the plain- for ONE by one additional defects in the city hail building are coming to light and each one goes to support the position of Mayor Bemis in relation to the con- tracts with the architect and builder. This time it is the fact disclosed by the health commissioner ina meeting of the Board of Health that the council chamber, instead of being ventilated directly into the open air, sends its vitiated atmospliore into another room in the building. The architect, who claims that he presented plans ard specifications as near perfect as possible and that hesaw that his plans were properly carried ouy, is said to have led the flue from the council room into the room of the Board of Education above it. This will have to be remedied, of course, and most probably at the city's expense. WiILE the sidewalk inspector is making up his report of the permanent walks laid under private and public contract during the last two yeurs, why not include a list of property owners who have failed to comply with the re- quirements of the permanent sidewallk resolutions? To allow wooden sidewalks to remain in front of particular pre- mises in the business portion of the city is an injustice to those who have promptly replaced their planks with substantial materials. OUR government is only doing its duty under treaty stipulations when it refuses to let Mexican bandits use the United States houndary as the means of escaping Mexican officers of the law. If Mexico encouraged border rutfians in their raids upon United States ves- idents the government at Washington would not long | delay its protest. Mexico is entitled -to treatment equal to that which we would dewand under similar circumstance AT ALL events there is gratification in the fact that many of the more re sponsible citizens of Omaha are not at all backward in expressions of opposi- tion to the gas ordinance. Any man who votes contrary, to public opinion must sooner or later.pay the penalty. LET us have open ‘sessions of the Mac- leod investigating committee. If the superintendent ‘of buildings is as guilt- less as he contends he is the light of day upon the testimony to be brought before the committee will not be able to besmirch his spotless record.
