DEMOCRATIC eyes are looking wist- fully at the important and lucrative offices still held by republicans. What brings the most te to the much- strained organs of vision is the fact that among the places not yet within reach are the registry of deeds in the District of Columbia, vielding fees estimated at 25,000 to #10,000 per year, and the posi- tion of public printer, with a patronage for several hundved employes at its dis- posal.

This is indeed a serious arraignment and doubt would not be made of public record were not the affairs of the railway company threatened with still further injury at the hands of those whom the court has perfunctorily placed in cliarge. It is reasonable to oxpect the parsons aceused to deny the allegations and the court will have to decide whether, upon the showing adduced, the control of the road should be given over to parties other than those now in posses- are m ns least that orted bleeding butary none are the ure con- bene- no etary of the treasury, in his annual report, suggested that the in- creased tax on distilled spirits, cigars, otc., a3 recommended by him and under consideration by the ways and means committee,. should be imposed on all such articles in existence and upon which the revenue has not been col- lected at the time the act takes effect. If this were done the treasury would be put in possession of a considerabie revenue, probably suflicient to provide against the estimated deficit for the current fiscal year, within a very short time after the passage of the act, but it is very questionable whether tho sug- gestion of Secrotary Carlisle will be adopted. A very decided opposition to it is being manifested. Washington dis- patches say that the distillers and others directly intevested in this prop- do not object 10 an increase of 10 cents per gallon on spirits manufactured after the passage of the bill, but they will resist placing an increase on spirits manufactured under existing law, and if the increase should be made by congress they will test the legality of the act in the courts. It is claimed by those interested in the ownership of the spirits held in bond that it was made under a law which fixes the tax at 90 cents. The producer gives bond in double the amount of the tax to be paid, and has three years in which to pay the tax and take the spirits out of bond. This a contract, it is con- tend which should be as binding upon the government as upon the citizen. It is further held that this whisky might not have been manufactured had there been veason to anticipate an increase of tax. the ownership is toa very gr tentnot with theproducers, but with the whole merchants who have purchased and bankers who ha advanced money on the whisky and hold 1t as collateral. For these reasons it 1s contended that it would ba an injustice to the holders of this property to pass a law that would cover it with an extra tax running back for a period of three ars, The guestion is raised whether a law taxing stocks on hand eould be en- forced, and logal opinion is cited that it could not, for the reason that such a luw would be ex post facto and therefore in violation ot a provision of the constitution, One legal authority is quoted as saying that there is a con- tract between the producer and the gov- ernment, for the performance of which the former k bonds that dis- tilled spirits ahall pay a tax of 90 conts per gallon. THe spirits held in bond are the result of that coatract and new conditions cannot be imposed by the government without working great in- justice to the other parties to the con- truct. According o ths veport of the com- missioner of internal revenue the amount of distilled spirits in bond on Oectober 1 last was a little over 134,000,000 gallons Doubtless the amount at this time is somewhat greater than this, most of the distilleries controlled by the trust having been active for some time past It is estimated that during the next six months the amount that will be with- drawn to meet normal commercial de- mands will betwoen #5,000,000 and 40,000,000 gallons. The Wilson bill probably cannot be made operative be- fore July 1 next. so that, leaving out of the calculation the production in the meantime, the bonded whisky that would liable to the increased tax under the proposition of Secretary Carlisle would at least 100,000,000 gallons, which would be increased to fully 123,000,000 by the addition of the production of the six months. Thus the proposal to tax stook on hand contemplates giving the treas- ury immediately after the law should go into effect certainly $10,000,000 and prob- ably more on whisky alone, with an is Moreover as executed be be be | 1 | And 1 L A L] MO LI KA L B THE OMAHA DAT!Y BEE: SATURDAY, DEFFMBBR 80 189? equal or greater sum from the othor articles which it is proposed to sebject to increassd taxation. On tho other hand, to tax stocks on hand would bo substantially to make the producers owners a gift of the amount of the additional tax, for, of course, this would be added to the price of the just as if the tax were paid to the gov- ernment.

The simple proposition now is: “Shall the law be enforced by the closing of the gambling houses? The World-Herald says ‘yes. e Bee says ¢ Under which flag will the people of Omaha prefer togather! Under the banner repre senting the soveroignty of the taw, or under the rag representing “Ber,” “Bemis" and Bunco " — World-Herald. . Who has the right to speak for THE BEE on this or any other question? Surely not the imposter and monumental fraud that has wrecked the great daily founded by Dr. George L. Miller. When aid THE Bei over say that tho law against gambling shall not be enforeed that gambling shall not be sup- pressed, if it can be suppressed? Was not the anti-gambling law put upon the statutes after a big fight by THE BEE what attitude did the defunct Srening World and its representatives at Lincoln take at that time, when the editor of THE BEE, on the floor of the house, presented charges against the ary committee for conniving with the gamblers who had raised a pot of ,000 to sidetrack the bill? Did not the arrant hypocrite at that time act in concert with the infamous combine that supported and worked with boodlersand legislative crooks who mutilated the charter and mado a raid upon every interest that was liable to attack and blackmail? Under which flag has this imposter been sailing for the last two years wken raids wera made upon our tuxpayers by contractors and corporations? Has he ever raised his voice against the exces- sive Dbills of the eleetric lighting com- pany or against the attempt to take $500 out of the treasury to pay fc who would certify that candle power lamps are dle power lamps? Of course not. The W.-11. s its motor power from the cleetric lighting comnpany at nominal prices, which means virtually for noth- ing. When the fifty-year gas franchisc was rvailroaded through the council the World-Herald was as dumb as an oyster. It refused to publish a call for a public meeting to discuss the enormous conces- sions and defects of the ordinance, and finally conseuted to insert the call at full local rates. Under which flag will the people of Omaha prefer to gather— that of Mayor Bemis, who always stands up for their rights against encroach- ments of contractors and corporations, or under the flag of the bunco organ that is steered in the corrupt channels of boodlerism? While tha Daily Impoator clamors for the enforcement of laws relating to gambling, why does it not also call upon Mayor Bemis to enforce the law that makes it a misdemeanor for any paper to publish lottery drawings and lottery advertisements? Has the World- Herald obtained a special dispensation to act as buneo steerer and capper for the Louis ana lottery? 1Is the mayor of Omaka to stand by and see the sovereignty of the law trampled under foot in order to keep alive a concern that has been wrecked by the imbeeility and tortuous course of its proprietor? THE BEE is not a defender of gam- bling or gamblers, but it has a great deal more respect for the keeper of the vilest gambling den than for the man who would hold up gamblers for hush money or the paper that would play into the hands of a brace of scoundrels who are trying to blackmail gamblers, When the people of Omaha come to choose a flag and a flag beaver we ven- ture to say that they will not select the World-Herald or the man at its helm, not o 1wles of ck on no." or an e 800 or 2,000 pert, 1,200 can- A BAD PRECEDENT. The office of superintendent of build- ings of the Board of Education is one of great responsibility in the conduct of our schocl affaivs. Under his super- vision large sums of money ave expended for repairs of school buildings. He is intrusted with the purchase of building material amounting annually to thou- sands of dollars. He employs a force of mechanies and laborers in his depart- ment whose pay voll is a large item in the expease account of the public schools. An employe of the board intrusted with such large responsibilities,through whose hanas pass from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars annually, should be efticient, careful and honest in the con- duct of his department. He should serupuleusly obey the rules and instru tions laid down for his guidance, The statutes provide that no expenditure in excess of 3200 shall be made except in accordance with the provisions of a written contract; that no school pro- perty shall be sold except by a vote of at least ten members of the board, The rules of the board have directed that the superintendent of buildings shall be under the direction of the committee on buildings and property, and that no work shall be done by him, except in cases of emergency, unless 80 author- ized by a majority of the board. I'he testimony brought out at the in- vestigation of Macleod showed that, as superintendent of buildings, he persist- ently ignored both the law and the in- structions of the board in the expendi- ture of money and the sale of school property; that he ordered work on his own responsibility when unnecessary,and incurred indebtedness in excess of the amounts appropriated by the board when authorized at all. He has played fast and loose in his department, and sinco the 1Ist of January, 1893, has spent nearly 815,000 of the school fund in repairs, fully one-third of which was unauthorized. Would any reputable business man retain an employe with such a record of extravaganoe and recklessness? What excuse has the Board of Education to offer for his retention? With a large deficit to meet in the near future, the sohool board instoad of reducing its ex- penditures has permitted Maclead to run riot with thé public funds. The condition of the ischool board's finances has assumed a miostserious aspect.

Harrison, to death. are some who will find fault with it on the ground that the murderer was men- tally irvesponsible and should bo sent to an asylum for the insane instead of to tho gallows: the people who do not be- licve in capital punishment may gen- crally regret that the jury did not say that Prendergast might live on at the expense of the state; but the great majority of thoughtful, intelligent and law-respecting people everywhere will approve the dict as the only one compatible and example assassin of There vor- with justico as an necessary to the conservation of law and the protection of scciety against the v vengeful passions and the 1 mania of such creatures as Prendergast. “Theve was not a single ¢ircumstance in the case of this man in mitigation of his crime. The assassination of Mayor Harrison was premeditated, deliberate, cold-blooded, relentless and cruel. The assassin had suffered no injury or wrong the hands of his vietim. The fancica griovance which he alleged asa justifi- cation of his crime was of a piece with other hallucinations of a irected mind dominated by envy and hatred of cvarybody whose position in life was superior to that of its possessor. The nature and character of Prendergast, as they have been disclosed, show hima natural enemy of the peace and order of society. The plea of insanity was worthless in view of the conduct of Prendergast after he had emptied his revolver into the body of his vietim. He hurricd away from the scene of his murderous deed and sought the protection of the authorities. He was sane enough at that tervible moment to know that thero was danger of an outraged people inflicting summary punishment if he fell into their hands and he lost no time ingetting into a place of safety. He knew. where it was best to go in order to escape the consequences of the popular Wrath and sped away to the nearest police station. Can there be a reasonable doubt that he had carefully planned this course, and, having done 80, can there be. a question regarding his sanity when he committed the crime? Some so-called experts deciared their opinion that the man was and is insane, but there is a well-founded distrust of the theories of igsanity experts which their judgment in this case will not tend to lessen, It may be admitted that there something abnormal in Prendergast's mental condition, but if such a condi- tion is to be considered insanity there will be few criminals punished. It is sufticient in this case to know that the criminal was fully aware of his respon- sibility in order to fully approve the verdict. No murderer ever the punishment of death more than the assassin of Carter H. and to havo preseribed any less penalty would have outraged justice. was AN IMM¥DIAT] ol the recént agitation for irrigation of the arid area is coming to light in the incorporation of several stock companies for the pur- pose of entering the field at the earliest favorable opportunity.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S, Gov't Report, Roal ABSOIUTELY PURE OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. Thirty years ago, in the scare which su ceoded the Inunch of the Gloire, the first | Europoan ironclad, Lord Palmerston de- clared it necessary for England to overmas. tor any two combined fleets. Mr. Gladstone admitted that a suporiorty over any three floots, untied, was indispensable to British safety. Bya battloship or two this is to day true of the British floot over France, Russia and any other power, if now ships are considered and old oraft as well as torpedo boatsleft outof account. Kven this is only socured because under the naval defenso act of 1850 Great Britain has spent $105,000,000 on seventy vessels, big and little, thelast mino of which will be ready next M all ten battleships, forty-two cruise eighteen torpedo boats have been built the time France and Russia have built the vessols on whoso construction they have en tered on account of the naval aefense act, the balance will incline toward them unless England expends 100,000,000 more, as is now strongly urged. In any case, France is already nearly twice as strong in the Mediterranean as Great Britain, and has at Toulon, Algiers and Biserta far bet ter naval yards. Add Russia and Groat Britain could not hold the Mediterranean at the opening of a war any more than the British floot was able to at tho opening of the wars with France a century ago, But it is not mere commercial superiority, meas ured by the naval register of each vower, which starts British fears. Al lands leveling up to tho British level modern conditions a nation's marine is no longer the source of naval strength which it was. The London Times recently pointed out that Russia spent 200,805 annually on her fleet to protecta merchant tonnage of 481,700 and a value of £15,000,000; France, 1,474,800, to protect 1,057,708 tons under her mercantile flag, worth §50.500,000, and Great Britain 52,40 800 to guard 12,455,087 tons under her mer- chant ensign, worth §810.000,000. are and under mercantile Russia proposes, 1t is said, to unite her Black soa fleet with her Mediterranean floet by sending the former through the danelles in violation of the treaties. When she last uttered this threat England moved narmy corps to Cyvrus and fleet to Tenedos, while tho Turks bestirred them- selves to defend Constantinopla. Now Eng land is in no condition to go to war in the Mediterranean. France has ten first-class battleships at Toulon and Carthage: if they should join the eleven battleships which the combined Russian flect would contain the squadvon woula be far stronger than any naval force which Great Britain could assemble m the Mediterranean. Constan- tinople itself is defenseless, The forts would not survive a bombardment of nalf an hour with modern guns, and the Turkish fleet s lying within the inner horn without coalor modern weapons of war. There may bo no purpose on the part of Russia to throw this firebrand among the combustibles of Europe. Buv if she did, everything is ready for war. Thero is a chance that Mr. Gladstone would try to keep England out of it and leave Turkey to her fate. But Germany would understand that a junction of the Russian and French fleets in the Mediterrancan meant a re- newal of the Franco-German war, and young William would uct accordingly. It is Significant that at such a crisis Sig. Crispi, Bismarck’s bosom friend, should have been invited by King Humbert to form the minis- try which Zauardelli was unable to consti- tute. e 1t is very likely true that General von C: privi is disgusted with his chancellorship and willing to rotire from it. A professional soldier who is detailed at a mature age to take charge of his superior’s intevests in a deliberative body would not in any case have an easy time of it. But when his mas- ter is the present emperor of Germany, and the doliberative body with which he deals the Reichstag, it is not to be wondered at that he should prefer somo quiet employment, such as stone breaking. In fact, such a place in our time requires such a personal force as Bismarck's was. and nobody will compare the present chancellor with his predecessor. At the same time, he has ful- filled his anomalous function with a surpris- ing measure of success. The passage of tho army bill,which Bismarck would have cffected by bullying, or not at all, was a great tri- umph for von Caprivi, the greater because it was accomplished by more parliamentary methods. 1f he should insist upon resign- fug. 1t is not likely that his successor would last anything like so long. The duke of Edinburg’s pension will make more trouble for Gladstone before Parlia- ment adjourns, if signs can be trusted. The duke, although he is the queen’s son, has coased to be a British subject by accepting the German dukedom of Saxe-Coburg, He is now a subject of William 111, and in case of war between Germany and England would bo obliged to fight against his mother’ He was an admivalin the Brinish navy, but has resigned, and now holds the same rauk in the German navy. His scatin the British loras has been forfeited, aud he is no longer a member of the s privy council, and has cut himself off absolutely from his British connections by assuming u German principalicy and the German na tionality. He is as German in his new rela- tions as his nephew, Emperor William, him- self. With all this he is a very rich man by reason of his wife's dower—she was o Rus sian princess—and because of the large in heritance whicn came to him when he was inducted into his new dukedom. Not L wuse he ever rendered uny service of conse quence to the British people, but because he is the queen’s son, ho has been paid two an nuities out of the public treasury; one of §75,000, granted by Parliament whenhe came of age, and one of 0,000, granted when ho married, The right to revoke both theso grants when the prince became duko of Saxe-Coburg was reserved. Now that the event has bappened ho surrenders tho $75,- 000 annuity, but hangs on Lo Lhe §0,000 one, on the ground that he intends Lo live part of the year in Englund. It is o good sign of Moxico's credit in the markets of the world that Finance Minister Limantour has completed negotiations with a Berlin house for u loan of $15,000,000 upon fayorable terms. Ou aceount of the extraor- dinary stringency of the times in Mexico and tho heavy expenses incurred by th government for the maintenance of order and for the construction of public works, includicg the interoceanic railroad, it has been necessary for the finance minister to obtain this foreign loan.

A fow yoars ago, when the treasury was strong and its not balanca many millions boyond the #100,000,000 ot | ©old veserve, it was the practice not to in- clude this resery stat tho b e of public money availablo, When the surplus had dwindled to a fow millions the wold | reserve was alw: A to create the impression treasury is stronger than it v ow notonly has the xhaustod, vut the re serve fund has b od to the oxtent of $15,000,000, and in making the balanco they even include fractional silver, which never until recently. In other the solveney the United States treasury is today maintained by the of funds that properly do not belong to it, and which, under ordinary circumstances, would not be t: hed. May 1t is understood _that a schome is on foor the Wilson tarif il to the ways and means committee. ‘Those demo crats who are dissatisfied and have been en deavoring to get strongth cnough o amend itin the house find that their efforts ave inble to bo unavailing, for the reason that publicans will not vote with them for 1 | amendments in_special ¢ The der cratic objoctors have, ther been trying to devise some other me ceomplish- | ing what they want, and their plan now is to recommit the bill. The republicans, it is believed, would vote solidly for this propo- sition, and a serious cffort for recommit- ment is being made. 1t does not seem prob- le, however, that” the effort will succeed. What the Pops May Do. The populists are to hold a eausus tonight at the rooms of Senator Peffer to determine upon the course they will pursue with rela- tion to the tarifl fight. The populists of the louse favor the Wilson biil or any other measure which makes a reduction of dutic The senators, 1t is alleged, advocate a diffe ent policy, holding that it would be much better to permit the preseut tarifl law to stand than to have in its piacé a measur which would be regarded probably as initia- tivo of free trade, but be essentinily unsati factory to the free traders themselves, Tho senators propose, thereforo, that all the populists should join in an effort to obstruct the passago of the Wilson bitl.
