BARRETT SCOTT may now enjoy a merry Christmas at large, while the court rests satisfied that the bail bond furnished is amply sufficient to insure his appearance when the case against him is called fortrial. Scott has en- deavored to pose as a martyr to the arbitrary action of the court, but has not been very suceessful in working upon the sympathies of those who will have to make good in taxes the shortage he caused in the Holt county treasury.

It is also sugrested that the seeretary might be empowored to issne bonds in denominations or sums of $25 and 1ts multiples, so that they could be readily disposed of through the subtreasuries and postofices, therveby saving the commissions that swould otherwise have to be paid to banks and other financial institutions. uch bonds would afford an opportunity to the people at large to invest their surplus | earnings in a security at once safe and of increasing value. As an alternative plan the secretary recommends that he be authorized to execute and seil or pay out the obligations of the goverament, to an amount not to exceed $50,000,000, such obligations to bear a vate of interest not greater than 3 per cent and to be pay- able after one year from date. The s retary urges upon congress the necy of giving immediate attention to the -condition of the treasury, which must be promptly relieved or the public service will be scriously impaived and pen- sioners and other creditors be subject to great delay and inconvenience. Secretary Carlisle saysan extension of the power of the secretary to procure and maintain a lavger reserve for the vedemption of United States currency is necessary. So long as there was only the old le tender notes to be re- deemed in coin the gold reserve of $100,- 000,000 was sufticient. The obligations of the government redeemable in coin have, however, considerably more than doubled siuce the resumption of spec puyments, so that while there may be no danger, imminent or remote, of the gov- ernment being called upon to redeem these obligations in coin, the expedieney of being prepared for such a possiblo exigency is obvious. This being ad- mitted, it is clearly essential that the secretary of the treasury be given au- thority to secure the ~means which may from time to time become necessary to enable him to meet such emergencies as the one which has recently oceurred in our financial affairs. At present the secretary is given little diserction, so that he has but limited opportunity to do anything for the interests of the gov- | ernment under favorable conditions or to protect those interests when threatened by adverse events, He urges, and in this he will have the concurrence of men of ull parties, that the Treasury depart- ment be made independent of speculative intevests and operations and be enabled to maintain the credit of the country on a secure basis, Inthisrespect the views of Secretal Carlisle are sound and wise, and the sooner they are made effective in legislation the better it will be for the interests of the government and the people, The secretary makes no recommenda- tion for further specific legislation relating to the curreney. He says the j supply of money at present is greater than is required for the transaction of the business of the people and that until there is such a vevival of industry and trade as to require the use of the cireulating medium now outstand- ing, it would be hazardous to arbi- travily increase its volume by law or to make material changes in its charaeter by disturbing in any manner the velations which its different forms now bear to each other.” Yet the secre tary deprecatos, asobstructive to priva business and cmbarrassing t9 tho treas- ury in condue the financial opoera- tions of the government, the many dif- crent kinds of currency in civeulation, The subject of the tariff Secretary Carlisle discusses at length, He is ly in sympathy with the theory vill policy which has any other object In vlew than that of providing revenue is unconstitutional, and there will be no surprise that such is the case, for Mr. Carlisle has always been only a little less rudical than the most ultra free tiaders. He | defends the ad valorem plan of lov sing duties as the most equitable, thongh admitting that it furnishes strong i ducements for the commission of frauds and perjuries in such confidence ot order to sceure false tions of imported gocds, But he »mmon with the op- penents of specific rates, despite abun- dant ence to the contrary, that frauds are much gccater under the specific than under the ad valorem ar- rangement of duties. The interost which the scervetary of the treasury shows in this feature of the democeratic tarifl policy plainly indicates whose in- fluence it was that caused the gencral substitution of ad valovem for specific rates in framing the now tariff bill, The views of Sceretary Carlisle regarding the of free oxpar | porate | such increased tax should be imposed | [ duction of expenditures.” THE » = tho ways and means committee, both of which, howover, may have been indobted to the secretary of the treasury for their arguments, Regarding additional taxes under the internal revenue system tho secretary favors increasing the tax on distilled spirits 10 cents a gallon and sing the taxes on ¢ and ¢ playing cards, le and sions, and incomes derived from cor- investments, that acios o sugg ssting upon all stock on hand that has not paid ix at the time the act tages effect.

The resolution was manifestly a back- handed slap at Mayor Bemis for signing an ordinance to treat the gambling ve- sorts as disorderly houses, which was passed by a twe-thirds vote of the coun- cil We do not remember whether Councilman Hascall is on record for this ordinance, but he certainly made no ve- monstrance against it, and would be the last man to enlist in an anti-vice crusade. Unlike Mr. Hascall, Tine BEE is on res ord against the ordinance. It ex- pressed itself not once but seve cral times against its passa; and pointed out its vulnerable features. THE BEE stated at the time of its pas- sago and it repeats now that no ordi- nance can abrogate the statute or in any way relieve violators of the anti-gamb- ling laws from eriminal prosecution in the courts, Mr. Hascall is a good lawyer and if he was in earnest about closing the gambling houses he knows that he can close them by filing com- plaint in the courts. The fines imposed upon gambling houses as disorderly re- sorts are legal. They do not conflict with the statute relating to gambling and cannot be cited as a plea of justifi- cation in the criminalcourts, Tmposing afine periodically or irvegularly does not constitute a license. On the con- trary it might be used as evidence against the keepers in casc of eriminal prosecution. That feature was pointed out by THE Bgk when the ordinance was before the council. In this matter asin the suppression of the social evil the anti-vice people have their remedy inthe courts regardless of mayor and council, and nobody knows this fact better than Mr. Hascall. As m UTAH'S CLAIMS T0 ~TATEH0D, The settlement of Utah dates back to 1847, before the outbreak of the Mexican wal While other territories less pre- pared for the burdens of statehood have forged ahead and became members of the union Utah has been vainly knocking for admission for more than twenty years. That her wealth and population entitled her to a place in the sisterhood of states has been admitted forseveral years past. With a population of 240,000 and a tax- able valuation of $109,000,000, she com- pares more than favorably in resoarces with the four territories that were last promoted to the rank of states. The opponents of statehood for Utah have on previous oceasions turned aside from the usual allegations of imma- turity, inadequate population, a wealth incommensurate with the burdens of state government, and have rested on the contention that the popula- tion was not sufficiently in barmony with the people of the other parts of the country to be taken in on cqual footing with the original states. The teachings and prac- tice of polygamy and the organ- ization of the Mormon church were said to be essentially un-American institu- tions. This was nodoubt true until now, but according to the best informed authorities it is no longer a valid excus for withholding from Utah the rights and privileges of statehood. In his anaual report for 1893 Governor West offers personal evidence in maintenance of the point that polygamy, in practice or in theory, has ceased to be a danger threatening the persistence of a repub- lican form of government in that terri- tory, even should the control be secured by the men who were onee promirent in the church party in former political contests, The strife and contention which had arrayed the Mormon and non-Mormon elements of the population 80 bitterly against one another in 18806, when he first qualifi as territorial goveruor, has, he says, entirely disap- peared, The Mormons have divided on party lines without reference to church policy, and so far has the chunge gone that Governor West himself stands up #s an advocate of the restoration of the church lands that have been declared escheated to the United State With the church guestion thus re- moved, the claims of Utah to statehood bacome unanswerable. Its population is more than enough to entitle it to repre: sentation in the lower house of congress on the basis of apportionmentadopted in accordance with the eleventh census and to demand a voice in the eounsels of the federal government. Whatever rea- sons may properly be argued against the admission of young and spavsely settled terrvitories may well apply to the other tervitories that are asking admission into the union, but their cogency with to Utah has lost its true ground.

To assume that the contractor is justified in furnishing what is called nominal 2,000~ candle powar light, which in veality only represents from 700 to 1.200-candle power, because other eities have ac- cepted such light, affords no valid ex- cuse. Other cities pay for nominal lights at say $100 to $125 a ST lamp, while Omaha is paying $175 per lamp under its drst contract. No repu- sle firm would contract to furnish goods of first quality at full rates for that class of goods and then deliver an inferior grade and insist upon getting first grade prices.

Two factories were run_and from beets yielding 14 per cent of saccharine matter? per cent of choice granulated sugar was made. Experi- ments proved that both the soil and the climate were adapted to the growth of the vegotabie und, aside from its value as a sugar producer, the value of the refuse in cattle feeding was demonstrated to a degreo which makes beet culture one of the great possibilities of the state. Forcign manufacourers of beet sugar have recognized this success.

Itsuits Mr. Cleveland to con- tend that our gouernment is in justice and honor bound to put the queen back on her throne; but he is much mistaken if he sup- poses that public sentiment can be brought to favor a proceeding so 0bnoxious to the spirit of our institutions and so inconsistent with the lessons and precedents of our history.
