Prosident Willard of that organization has struck the ke, note on this point in his annual address. T'ie democrats in Duluth have joined with the democrats of Birmingham, Ala., in a protest against the demo- cratic proposition to remove the duty from iron ore. The tariff is alocal issue that seems to strike a great many dif- forent scctions of the country. CONG S threatens to add new ma- terial to the already accumulated wealth of words on the Hawaiian situation. Is there no way to escape a destructiv competition between the legislative and exceuntive departments of the govern- ment in their manufacture of documents relating to the Hawaiian question? THE business men of Lincoln have every reason for self-congratulation over the admirable manner in which they weathered the storm raised by the failure of the Capital National bank. The record of the year just closed is one which can hardly be duplicated by many cities of the same class in the country. Tr 18 claimed that there are 20,000 idle coal miners in Colorado and there are an equal number of people in Nebraska who are unable to pay the present high prices for Colorado coal. A revision of transportation rates would enable the Nebraska peoble to buy coal and at. the same time it would enable the idle miners to résume work. THE retrenchment committes of the Board of Education might save a little money by slight cheese paring of teachers’ salaries. The old-time prac- tice of basing the pay of principals on the number of rooms in a given school building can be done away with and a salary paid to cach prinsipal according to individual capacity and experience. Bur fow of the readers of the great Sunday newspapers are able to under- stand just why the whole continent of Europe should bristle with the prospocts of immediate war on Sunday and ve- lapso into profound peace on Monday. The martial spirit soems to become ram- pant only upon the fivst day of the week with the average European correspond- ent. Tne mechanies and laboring this city have av men of it to complain if it is true that all contraet work on Fort ook has been done elsewhere. We ieve, however, that an investigation will prove thata large portion of the work has been done by Nebraska con- tractors, At any rate we ave informed that'a large amount of Nebraska-made brick has gone into the construction work at the fori [P COUNCILMAN CAHN can carry into effect his plan for giving employment to idle workingmen it will certainly ro- lieve their distressing condition., He wants the Board of Public Works to order the stroot sweeping eont make a genoval cleaning up of stroots and alloys and set the idle men to work at it at nominal wages. With favorable weather this plan ought to be produc- tive of good results. Tue glorification of the French bomh thrower, Vaillant, is beginning oven bo- tore the sentence passed upon him has been oxecuted. This is porhaps a good sign. If he is made the honorary chair- man of an anarchist meeting in Lyons now the enthusiastic sympathy for him may soon wear itself out and disappear with its author, Like all eriminals he is securing much more notoriety than he in any way doserves. AFTER the senatorial fight is over the Towa legislature will be oxpected to sottle itself down to steady, hard work There are plenty of measures to be eon- sidered by it but foremost of all the wodification of the existing prohibitory statute. The meaning of the last clec- tion, if it had any ing, that tho people i shibition that does not prohibit stment of o new lijuor law is the tirst duty of the legislature. was (i SOMEYHING MUST BE DONE 1t is evidently the desire of the admin- istration to leave entirely with congress the duty of finding a way for supplylng the deficiency of revenue, to which atten- tion has beer repeatedly directed. The secretary of the treasury stated in his annual report what he thought to be the wise and proper course, but in his sub sequont r son to this subject he has confined himself to velating the needs of the ury, without making suggestions as to the vequired ation. The explanation htless fo be found in the wiministration to avoid i m of the party for appearing to tives, Dut it of the ad- fails to rer to meat tho sit of this 8 don bo ition of the assu gislative appen be the intention congrens the needs authority for that ministration case make in o provision adoqus the the treasury, use given it by oxisting stat P ted as saying wthing must and h iy believes that it should he dons lsast possible delay. He has ponds, but the is a d use the pro- b done, th t anthority to issu {uestion whether hie cot 1s for an but the redemption outstanding treasury notes. This, not seem to present an in- ulty. He can issue to build up the the amount and draw upon this for meeting the obligations of the goy- nt, as he has been doing, and this process might be continued indefinitely. [tis not the most desirable plan the bonds probably could not posed of on as good terms for the govern- ment, but it would do as a last resort. A better plan would be that provided for in the bill introduced by Representative Harter of Ohio, to which reference has heretofore been made. There is a strong democratic opposition in con- gress to issuing influenced by several considerations. Some oppose it on the ground that the public debt ought not to be increased in that way. Some are fearful that the bonds might be made of to extend the life of tho nationai banks, and the advocates of an income tax are hostile to bonds beeause they think if this mothod of supplying the wants of the treasury is refused the administration will be com- pelled to to an income tax. Then there the silver contingent, who do not want bonds for fear that they would in some way injure the pros- pects of silver, and who want to make the so-called seigniorage available for somuch of the expected deficicncy as it will supply. With these diverse and conflicting views, of the wisdom of which those holding them ave doubtless firmly con- vinced, the solution of the problem pre- sented by the treasury may be a long way off if action by congress is waited for, yet the pressure for a speedy solution increases with every day. The government expenditures do not decrease, whiie the revenues grow steadily less, Last month the latter fell below the former about $10,000,000, and the difference for this month will doubtless be as great. For the six months of the current fiscal year the ox- penditures were in excess of the re- ceipts about $35,000,000. Secretary Carlisle has been compelled to revise his estimate of the deficit at the close of the year and now states it as likely to be 50,000,000. Other competent authori- ties say it will be nearer $80,000,000. The gold reserve is at a point where the danger of impairing public confidence is imminent, with & further depletion under existing conditions inevitable. A great many obligations of the government are overdue and may be pressed for payment at any time, making further inroad upon the only available fund. Such is the situation, and it would be alarming but for the almost boundless faith of the veople in the government. It presents an exigency that ought to be met promptly, in the most practicable and business-like way, but instead of doing this the party in control of congross is split into factions, each one fighting for some makeshift or expedient which iv is med would help the par co thing of however, doe ble di bonds to and sell quired erni because be dis- bonds, consent is THE SITUATION IN BRAZIL, The latest advices from B, , though somewhat conflicting, indicate that something decisive may be expected to huppen there at any time. The news by way of London, bearing date more than three woeks ago, may corvectly report the situation at that time, but it is to be taken with much allowance. The corre- spondent had evidently interested him- sclf ehiefly in the condition of the in- surgents and coming under their influ- cnco was quite naturally disposed to send out a report favorable to them. sides, ho was writing for a journal whoso readers generally, it may fairly be assumed, prefer news favor- able to the insurgents. But even this British correspondent does not represent the outlook for the vebellion as altogether hopeful. At any ruto there are later and more trust- worthy advices which state that the in- surgont cause is losing ground. It ap- pears that the roinforcoments upon which tho leaders have been depending in order to enable them to place a land force in RRio they will not be able to get, and without them their plans against the capital of the republic cannot ba carvied out. Furthermore it appears that the vevolutionists in the southern part of the country have been expoerienc- ing dofeats and are consequently & good dealdemoralized. [tisalso reported that there is a great deal of discontent in theiv ranks generally and desertions are nume The illness of Admiral Mello naturally has a dispiviting effoct upon his adherents. The government forces, on the other hand, acenot only maintaining their position, but in some quarters are gain- ing, and the tendency of vhis is to in- spirit them. There is no report that they are anywhere losing in strength or in determination. The situation seems to invite a more vigorous movement on the part of the government wnd this is With the foremost leader oi rovolution incapaciated, many of adherents disheartened, and the and file of the revolution- forces tired of the conflict, the ous, oxpected. the his rank ary government by a few well de follow up, and if Peixoto be opportunity of the to sup- press the outbreak livored blows, vigorously would secm to be at hand fails to seize it the conclusion that he | the qualifications sary to meet the demands of such must noces- an ex- ack S0 far as foree is concerned the has advantage Ite ts of twenty-one vessels, its land foroe ney government the flect now cons while everywhere larger than those of the | Whete the govornment a disadvantago is in officers, the ablost naval and military commanders being with the insurgent.

The latter ad- vices give plausibility to this conjecture. The United Statesis represented there by a naval foree fully capable of pro- tecting American interests and undoubt- edly our minister is fully instructed as to the course to be pursued in the event of an emorgency imperiling American interests, The promise is that Brazilian news will grow in interest from now on. TARY MOURTON'S ASPIRATIONS. The report comes to us by way of Bos- ton that Secrctary Morton is no longer satisfied with his p -esent position, and inasmuch as Boston has always centered onsiderable interest in Nebraska's con- tribution to the group of statesmen with which President Cleveland has chosen to surround himself tho report in ques- tion may be taken to have some faint foundation of fact. It goes on to say that the agricultural portfolio offers too reumseribed a field for the ambitious energies of the secretary, who has consequently deigned to raise his eyes to higher ground and to seek other lands to conquer.” The Intorior department is supposed to be cut more to Secrotary Morton's size, and rumors that Hoke Smith wishes to get out of the cabinet, or rather that Presi- dent Cleveland wishes him to get out, are said to be devoured by the farmers’ patron with badly-concealed delight. The Boston authority adds the kindly comment that Mr. Morton would make a good secretary of the interior, becauso he has lived all his life among those sec- tions of the country with which the Iu- torior department has to do, whereas Hoke Smith in his southern home knew nothing of the great west until after he had made his debut into official life. All this must be pleasing information to the many friends of Secretary Mor- ton in this state, particularly to those who have set their hopes on land offices or other lucrative public places inside the bailiwick of the Intevior depart- ment. Secretary Morton has had the idlo honor of running for so many offices beyond the gift of the democratic party that many have not yet recovered from their glad surprise at seeing him really rewarded with anactually existing office, and one, too, that made his influence with the patronage dispensers so all- powerful. Those who thought that his ambition would be satisfied with that have evidently been mistaken. One year’s occupancy of the Agriculture department has sufficed to fit him for still higher walks of life. ~ Secretary of the Interior Morton would not sound at all badly. STANDING IN THEIR OWN LIGHT. The labor congress has laid itself open to the criticism that it has an ex- aggerated idea of its mission. It cannot control the affairs of all the earth. Its indirect attack upon the proposed beet sugar factory shows how easy it is for labor agitators to stand in their own light. It might as well be understood now as at any other time that if this great promised enterprise is to prove & success it will be imperatively necessary to import a limited number of foreigners to teach our farmers how to cultivate the beets and our mechanies and artisans how to produce sugar from them. When this onterprise shall have been located in Omaha a new field of industry will be opened up, & business created that here- tofore has had no existence. Hundreds of mechanics and laboring men now re- siding in Omaha will devive a direct benefit therefrom. It is simply out- rageous for any man or set of men to attack the project on the ground that it will bring about the importation of “ig- norant foreign paupers” to take the places of American mechanics and arti- sans. A coterie of marplots, chiefly men who only labor with their jaws, has annexed itself to leading labor organizations in this city, as it has elsewhere, whom in- telligent and progressive workingmen should discountenance. They are bent on breeding contention and flaunt their own importance in the face of every pro- jeet or public measure that promises to be of benefit to the communities in which they live. Such men are not the true and accepted represontatives of Ameri- can bread winners, It is to be hoped that they will at no distant day silence themselves 8o that laboring men who labor may be given a voice on public matters of vital importance, and that the professional labor claqueurs may be per- manently retired from public view. to 1 gooms o by is not ablo does SECR THAT is an interesting church war which is chronicled from Pittsburg, and will probably terminate just as similar crusades usually do. One entorprising congregation has been led to resort to that time-honoved diversion of a kir: mess in to replenish the ex- hausted treasury which defrays the ex- penses of its religious work. A kirmess, of course, would not be up to date unless it included representations of all the latest dances and drew its inspivation from naughty France, as well as staid New England, The skirt dance, high kicking and all the vest properly helong to a ‘nine- teenth century exhibition, whether it is backed by a church econgregution or a theatrical manager. The other ovder churches of Pittsbyrg, however, which are not to derive piviiwiary bonofits from this proposed undértaking, have been positively shocked: by the announce- ments that coupled fatley dancing with religion and have Jofgunced the scan- dalous outrage in' unmeasure All this frec adwostising will, of course bring u orowded hets to witness the much-berated kirmoss and to judgoe of its merits, and all who fail to see it will bewail their cruel 'fates, The enter- terms, prising congregation will reap a harvest of shekels ana nothing short of asimilar and equally successful money-making attraction will console each of the op- posing chure ANOTHER COWARDLY LYNCHING, The tripl Saturday lynching at Russell, Kan., night has not those features upon which such executions by mob violence are usually justified. Had the victims been guilty of the homicide charged against them there existed every probability that they would hay been brought to trial according to the law governing the matter, and stood in no danger of acquittal if proven guiity. Otherwise the details of this outrage are much the same as those of other like occeurrences, although with fatal results to three persons instead of 10 one, as is usually the case. The mob, of course, consisted of ‘‘determined” men, who were so sot upon their laud- able purpose that they had to hide their faces behind masks and to consummate their plot in the darkness of midnight. S0 noble were their designs of venge- ance that the viotims, with ropes around their necks, were pushed uncere- moniously off of a railroad bridge and the good work made doubly sure by piercing the bodies with bullets. It will probably be suggested by some of our eastern commentators that be- cause this lynching occurred in Kansas there is some connection between this outbreak of lawlessness and the example of disregard for law con- stantly shown by the present Kan- sas state officials since entering upon their offices. There 1is, of course, nothing in this, for its hap- pening on this or the other side of the Kansas line is to a great extent a thing purely accidental. Tt does signify, how- ever, a lax conception of law and one that calls for repression wherever it may make its appearance. The duly con- stituted courts of this country are quite able to deal out criminal justice if only given an opportunity, There is no call for mob action, itself subversive of the law, in order to vindicate serious viola- tions of the law. even MR. W. A. L. GIBBON, president of the Commercial club, and Freight Com- missioner Utt appeared before the Southwestern Traflic association and presented arguments in favor of discon- tinuing the present differential in favor of Kansas City as against Omaha on business to and from Texas and the re- public of Mexico. Fon years the stock market at this point has been placed at a very great disadvantage by reason of the tariffs of southwest lines, which have operated to practically shut Omaha out of the cattle trade’ from Texas, New Mex1ico gnd the cattle grow- ing regions of the southwest. Our stock yards people have exhausted every effort in years past to have Omaha put upon an equal footing with Kansas City for this trade without results. The lines leading into Omaha pretended to be in favor of taking down the bars, but have all along pleaded trafic agree- ments the terms of which rendered them powerless to deal justly with this city. Meantime Kansas City has reaped the harvest,in the face of the fact that prices at the Omaha market have often been higher than those at Kansas City. II, through mediation by the Commercial club, this discrimination can be stopped Omaha wiil profit immensely thereby. THE sugar factory meeting at the Board of Trade today will in a measure determine whether Omaba is to be selected for the location of this new and important industry. It is expected that the special committee will report upon the total acreage that wmay safely bo guaranteed, which, of course, depends largely upon the disposition of farmers and land owners in this vicinity and the importance they attach to the matter of sugar beet culture. All citizens who have the best interests of Omaha at heart will do everything in their power to secure the proposed beet sugar fac- tory. WE HAVE had secrotaries of the treas- ury who would not have hesitated to make use of the color of law that exists for the 1ssue of bonds in the present emergency and would have found authority for theiraction without waiting for congress to move in the matter, It is evident that Secretary Caclislo is not a secretary of that kind. His conduct of the treasury has up to this time been conservatism itself. If congress does not take the matter in hand it is safe to conclude that Secretary Carlisle will not make the first step unless driven to it by unavoidable necessity.

It is undoubtedly true that the railroad system of the country has been extended faster than was necessary or advisable, Thousards of miles of track have veen laid in localities where paying trafic was not reasonably to be expected. Many ronds haye been built for speculative purposes only, under the stimulus of bonds voted by the people. The larger corporations have absorbed the smaller ones to an imprudent extent and at a heavy cost. There has been close competition for a volume of busi- ness that has never been large enough to pay the charges of all the roads and yield theit owners a profit. As an incvitable cou- sequence the railroad indebtedness hus been steadily increasing for a number of years, and the only way out of the difficuliy isa resort to the process of a receivership. —————— The Yresident and the Senate, Globe-Democrat. There are evident signs of an approaching fight between the president and the senate, like that which was precipitated in 1851, but which was provented from ling & cli- wax by the assassination of eld.” Tt is well known that Cleveland has encountered opposition on the part of democratic scna- tors n everything thav he has attempted or propo=ed during his present term. He was not the choice of these men for the nomina- tion at Chicago in 1592, and thoy resented his election as a personal affront. They or- ganized the priucival committees against him before his inanguration, and they hav missed no opportunity since then to manifost their ill will toward him, He might have placated them, perhaps, if he had been dis- posed to do so, or if he had understood the art of stooping to conquer; but instead ot eking thoir friendship, he has systemat- ically repelled it, and pursued his own courso regardless of their wishes or even of | their existence. They delayed the passuge of the silver al bill as longas thoy could, muinly because he desired its early success. His nominations have been treated I with studied indifference, and in somo cases with vindictive hostility. They have indi- cated a purpose to make his Hawaiian periment as troublesowe to him as possivle; 1d it i an open secret that thoy do not in- tend to let the Wilson taviff bill pass ina shupe that will be satisfactory to him if they can help it.
