This is certainly no very serious burden upon the people. Most of the recommendations and sug- gostions of the secrotary will be interesting chiefly to the army, as for instanco changes in the law re- garding enlistment, the policy of enlist- ing Indians, and the question of three battalion organizations for infantry regi- ments. Tt would seem tavy does not Gene The official vote in the recent election contest in Nebraska does nothing but onfirm the position tiken by THE B immediately after the results were ap- proximately ascertained ‘‘that there is nothing in the election returns to warrant the assumption that the peo- ple’s independent party in Nebraska is losing ground to any extent to war- rant the presumption that the repub- lican party has gained in strength.” Ihe figures presented by TiE BE within forty-cight hours after the close of the polls were so nearly correct that there is no necessity to revise the caleu- lations that were based upon them. All that thq official canvass adds to what was then presented are a fow additional figures that go to supplement those cal- culations, The total supreme court agree with the view of al Schofield and some other army officers that the experiment of enlisting Indians has been a success, but it is to be continued on a small scale until there is more decisive evidenco as to whether it is desirable The recom- mendation that a veserve supply of arms be gradually manufactured with a view to the organization of the militia is doubtless in accord with the best mili- tary judgment and will be generally ap- proved. It is obviously a wise precan- tion for the governmont to thus provide for the equipment of the militia. Progress is being made in the con- struction of coast defenses, and the work is to be oxtended. The secretary makes no recommendations under this head involving additional appropriation and undoubtedly none will be provided by this congress. The amount already appropriated for this purpose, although far short of what the government en- gineers have estimated to be necessary in order to construct a complete system of defenses, will keep the work in pro- gress a year ov two longer, by which time the condition of the treasury tay allow of further liberal appro- ions for this object. Scerctary nont recognized the importance of improving the harbors and waterways of the country in the interest of internal commerce, but thinks that a somewhat reduced appropriation for this purpose may be judiciously mado for the ensuing year. The organized militia of the country is in round numbers 112,000 and the seeretary of war regards the requosts for the co-operation and assistance of -the federal government in the equip- ment of the militia as the index of in- ent interest in the nation's mili- tary growth. otherwise. vote for judge of the was: Bittenbender 032, Holeomb 63,666, and Irvine 37,545, Harrison's plurality over Holeomb being 6,366, Judge Har- rison ran 6,047 votes behind Estabrook, the highest man on the republican ticket, while Judge Holeomb ran 10,650 votes ahead of Heath, the next highest man on the independent ticket, and Irvine ran 5,524 votes behind Doolittle, the highest man on the democratic ticket. Of the 5,324 democratic votes which Trvine failed to receive atleast 3,000 must have been cast for the repub- lican eandidato, so that Harrison did not poll over 69,000 republican votes. To get an approximate estimate of the th of the republican element that was alienated by the railroad methods by which Judge Harrison was nominated, compare the vote for regents upon the everal tickets with that for judge of the supreme court. Estabrook’s plurality over Heath, the highest man on the in- dependent regents' ticket, was 23,063, and over Monroe, the lowest on the independ- ent regents’ ticket, 24,758, If Harrison had polled the vote secured by Estabrook and Holeomb, that secured by Heath, Havvison'’s plurality would have been 16, more than it is. And had Ha vison polled the vote secured by Esta- brook and Holcomb, that secured by Mdnroe, Harrison's plurality would have been 18,372 more than it Half of this, or 9,000, vepresents the absolute defection by reason of the defeat of Max- well, The Lineoln railroad organ juggles with the official figures in order to com- pute what would have been the result upon the ecomplexion of the state legisla- ture had that body been chosen at the red Iv takes as the basis of its calenlation the vote upon the regent for the short term, “‘becanse that seems to have been a strict party vote without personal or fusion feeling in it."

Caleulating, however, the leg- islative apd senatorial districts upon the vote for judge of the supreme court —a vote which shows where the peoplo tand when the railroad issue is clearly defined—the republicans would have wried only thirty-one counties and the senate would consist of sixteen repub- licy thirteen independents and four demoerats, und the house of forty-two re- publicans, forty-four independents demoer Harrison 7 is. THE TARIFF AND THE TRUSTS. he supporters of the new tariff bill profess to believe that if it becomes'a law it will have the effect to suppress the trusts and combinations, for the ox- istence of which they claim the protect- ive policy is responsible. They do not offer any reasons for this assumption, nor is it apparent what they can say in defense of it. The claim that protection has had anything to do with fostering trusts will not stand in view of the fact that similac combinations exist in freo trade Fngland, and it is well known that the most formidable trust ever organiz in this the Standard Oil—was mnot affected in the slightest degree by the tarifl policy, but was wholly independent of it. If there is anything in the theory that the protection of domestic indus- trics stimuiates competition—and ex- perience is conclusive on this point—it cannot be favorable to trade combina- tions. The truth however, that since trusts exist with both free trade and protection it is obviously fallacious to assume that cither fiscal policy is promotive of them orinany way respon- sible for their crcation or existence. Instead of expecting the suppression of and | industrial combinations by reducing 1 & omitting all con- | protective duties and thereby offer- wtion of probable fusion between | ing to foreign competitors a better democerats and independents in many | chance in the American market, doubtful distriets.

He writes well, has a vigorous style, rounds off his perivds smoothly, and more hoses, 80 that the secre-, far as literary quality goes is al- togoether super¥mEe any of the contribu- tors to the Hawaiian disoussion. He tells his story fluently and he knows how to apply sarcasm. But, after all, his statement does not carry conviction. Asto the question of veracity which he wises it may never be settled and peo- ple will determine for themselves ac- cording to their foeiing on one sido or the other. The vital fact is that the courss pursued by Stevens at Honolulu was disavowed by the administration that sent him there, and this is enough to discredit him. Commissioner Blount may have been misled as to some of his information, but the admission of this cannot help the case of Mr. Stevens. His hasty and ill-advised conduct stands without proper excuse or justification. Now that Powderly has been deposed the active minority in the American Federation of Labor is attempting to defeat Samuel Gompers, president of that organization, Western members scem to be dissatisflod with the record Gompers has made and long for a change in the interest of harmony, There is no reason why labor chiefs should have a perpetual title to rule the affairs of those organizations. It is in accord with the spirit of the times that such positions should rotate among the brainy men high in tho couvncils of or- gurTzed labor. And inmany instances they cannot begin to rotate too soon. Thr amended petition in the gas franchise ordinance Injunction case makes some sensational allegations in respect to the use of corporate influence in securing its passage through the council. The petitioner asserts that it has long been the practice of the gas company to furnish free of chargo to members of the city council and that this practice cannot but operato as & bribe to the recipients. The ordinary citizen is unable to see by what right a councilman is entitled to free gas it is given in exchange for the be- trayal of public interosts. 'METARY LAMONT recommends the extension of instruction in military drill under the guidance of trained army offi- cers to high schools of our lavrger cities.

If we are to have ell trained militia it will be well to begin with the youths in our high schools.
