THE latest suit against Bank Wrecker Mosher is instituted by the state to re- J ,527.00, which was converted to his use from the funds appropriated to relieve the drouth sufferers three years ago. Mosher probably thought that he W as much in need of state aid as the farmers whose crops were ruined by the drouth. ACCORDING to the statement of gas consumption filed by the local gas com- pany with the eity clerk, it will require an expansion of sales to the extent of 60,000,000 cubic feet in order to secure tho first reduction in price as stipulated in the new schedule of rates. Omaha ought to attain this in a very few years. Cheapor gas means larger consumption and larger comsumption will bring still cheaper gas THE members of the building trades in eastern cities have resoived upon in- dependent political action upon all ques tions affecting their interests. here is a considerable difference between in- dependent political action and inde- pendent political party. Many evils complained of may be remedied by inde- pendent action along old party lines, while the same evils would go uncor- rected by the formution of: new parties. A RESOLUTION has been passed by the Board of ucation instructing the superintendent of buildings to employ no more men except under the direction of the board its committee. If we mistuke not similar resolutions and rules have been adopted by the board before without perceptible results. Will not the superintendent take his recent whitowashing as special author- lzation to override any resolution of the board? NEBRASKA has at length arrived at that point in her commercial and in- dustrial development whore she is vitally interosted in the tariff question. The peoplo of this state do not necoss savily demand a high protective duty, but they do ask that industries that bhave obtained a foothold shall not be wiped out, Under these circumstances tis to be regretted that the state is represented in congress by but three men who stand for home interests. THERE ave several laws on Nebraska's statute books which have come to stay, and stay they will despite the efforts of parties and officials to evade thom, The depository laws belong to this class. So does the maximum [freight law, either in its present or modified form. And the law creating the State Board of Transportation will either rewain and bo carried out in the spirit in which it was passed or be wiped out by the legis- lature. The board cannot be manipu- lated in the interests of the railroads much longer, A STARTLING STATEMENT. Seeretary Carlisle has given congross and tho country a plain, lucid statemont of the present condition of the treasur and what may reasonably be oxpected in the near future. This shows that dur- ing six months and twelve days of the current fiscal year the excess of expendi- tures over eipts wus moro than $43,- 000,000, and the secretary says that if the same avorage monthly deficiencies should continue the totai defleit at the end of the fiscal year, June 30, will ex- ceed #78,000,000. There is not the ighte doubt that they will continue. Two of the very best months in the ear, under nor- mal conditions, for customs revenue, aro Docembor and January, But the revenue of last Decomber fell bel that of the preceding month and the record for January is certain to be still worse. There is no reason to expect any im- provement in the succeeding months, but rather the contrary, so that thore is almost absolute assurance that the aver- ago differcnces between oxpenditures and receipts during the last six months of the fiseal year will be greater than during the first six, rendeving certain an equal or greater deficit at the close of the year than the secretary of the treasury now estimates, It is to be borne in mind that the government is not only losing revenue from reduced importations, but also from internal taxes, The business depression and the curtailment of industrial production eut off a large amount of internal revenue, and there is no prospect of early im- provement in this direction. Meanwhile the gold reserve is down to $74,000,000, and there is no other fund in the treasury from which to meet the ordinary obligations of the govern- ment. If this fund shall continue to e drawn upon Secretary Carlisle says it will be reduced by February 1 to $66,000,000. How much lower will it have to go before there is loss of confldence in the ability of the government to maintain the parity of the vavious forms of currency and gold will command a premium? And if that should occur, how long would it take the country to recover from the intensified depression and dis- trust that would ensue Seerotary Carlisloe has pointod out in astraightforward way the urgent necessity for relief. e is manifestly most anxious to maintain the solvency of the treasury and the credit of the gov- ernment. The way to a prompt and complete solution of the problom is obvious. The trouble is that ason Lo BEARING FALSE WIT “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.” This command- ment, handed down as part of the deca- logue, forms a cardinal portion of the creed professed by Jew aud Gentile, Mo- hammedan and Mormon. If it be sinful and immoral for any man to bear false witness against his neighbor, how much more is it sinful ana wicked for any man to bear false witness against all his neigh- bors, and how much more wicked is it when these neighbors constitute a com- munity of 125,000 people? A sensational preacher who delivered a sermon on the social evil has declared from the pulpit that Omaha harbored in hermidst 3,000 women who make a liv- ing from criminal sexual intercourse. The only authority given by the preacher for this monstrous libel was the story retailed by an old woman. Now, what right has a minister to use his sacred calling for giving currency to such a charge that reflects so grossly upon the womanhood of this city without taking pains to inform himself. Why should a preacher accept as a fact a charge that so seriously affects the repu- tation of a community without exercis- ing his own reasoning powers and weighing the probabilities or possibili- ties. The whole number of adult women under fifty years of age in Omaha is only about 22,000, and deducting from these the heads of families there are less than 10,000. And yet this reckless pulpiv slanderer gives currency to the palpable falsehood that nearly one-third of these women are living a life of shame. Any man with a thimbleful of brains would know that that could not be true. The unbridled tongue of old women gossipers is very often responsible for heartburnings and blasted reputations of neighbors and ncighborhoods, but the unbridled tongue of a reckless preacher can blacken the reputation of a whole community. ‘What an old gossip would talk on the streots goes no favther than the circle of her immediate acquaintance. But when a minister makes assertions from the pulpit they carry with them the impross of sincerity and veracity which attachos to the teacher of religion and morals. Pulpit utterances are usually given wide publicity through the press and for that very reason the pulpit orator should refrain from bearing false witness both ugaiust individuals and communities. DOGS IN THE MANGER. The gathering at Metz's hall which pretended to speak for the citizens of the First, Second and Seventh wards passed & sot of resolutions demanding that the Union Pacific shall be required to finish the depoton its present site, and it furthermore resolved that the so- called Connell settlement which the courts enjoined last year shall be re- enacted by the couneil. Now it may as well be understood first as last that the Union Pacific railroad company cannot finish the depot build- ing on Mason street so long as the com- pany shall remain in the hands of a receiver, even if the managers had the money on hand to complete the building and were disposed to finish it. Asa matter of fact President Clark would not finish the depot on the present site if the road was in condition to spend the money, because, in his judgment, the structure would have to be pulled down again ina very few years and at best would be inconvenient of access to the public and inconvenient for the transfer of cars. It would moreover be inacces- sible to roads coming down from the north and northwest. In the next place the settlement would not be ratified if submitted, unless the THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1891 city would get a real union depot ac- cessiblo to all railroads, Stuht, Kyner, Redman and all their associates could scarcely be induced to raise #8,000 for the expense of a speci il olection, oven it it was certain that the vote would be unanimons. The protest of the Metz hall meeting therefore resolves itself into this. “We, Kyner, Stuht & Co., are opposed to the Metropolitan Union depot, even though we know that the Union Pacific cannot raise the money to finish the Mason street dopot and no other road will undertake to build on Union Pacific grounds until the government raises the mortgage and the city quit claims the Union Pacific.” Such a dog-in-the-manger poliey is not likely to meet with popular favor. In- cidentally, wo may as well say that all the gabble about what the city is to do or not to do is premature until the ordi- nance has been revised and submitted in proper form. GEAR FOR SENATOR. When the term of United States nator James . Wilson of lowa ex- pires on March 3, 1805, he will be suc- ceeded by Hon. John Henry Gear, now represonting the First district of that state in the house of representatives. The republicans of lowa are to be con- gratulated upon the election ot Mr. Gear to the senate. Without desiring to in the least degree disparage any of the gontlemen who aspived to a seat in the senate we do not think there can be a question that the choice made was the wisest and best, from the point of view Dboth of the intercsts of the state and of the republican party. Mr. Gear has bhad a long and useful career in public lifo. No citizen of Towa is moro familiar with the affai of the state and the condition, interests and aspirations of its people. Governor for two terms he showed a high order of executive ability, As a member of con- gress Mr. Goar has made a most credit- able record and he will enter the senate fully equipped for the duties that will devolve upon him, and with a reputa- tion as a legislator that will command vespect in that body and - maintain for his state the high position that it'now occupies there. In his brief and modest speech after his election Mr. Gear stated that he had always been a republican, that he be- lieves in an honest ballot, and that he stands for protection to American labor. Those who know his record will have no doubt of the sincerity of these assur- ances, or that he will be found faithful to them in all circumstances. Another thing to be said in behalf of Mr. Gear is that he does not wear tha collar of any corporation and may be depended upon not to sacrifice or destroy the in- terests of the people at the behest of corporate power. Itis a matter of no small importance to havein the national senato a man who, owing no part of his political success to the favor or influence of corporations, is wholly free to shape his course according to his best judgment of right -and duty. The people of Towa have reason to be proud of the posltion of their state in the senate, and it will not suffer any de- torioration by the elevation of Hon. John H. Gear to that body. THE REJ 0N OF HORNBLOWER. The refusal of the senate, after long de- liberation, to confirm the nomination to the supreme bench of William H. Horn- blower of New York possesses a sig- nificance far more important than any effect it can have upon the personal in- terests of the rejected candidate for a seat in the highest judicial tribunal of the nation. 1t has been understood that the question was raised as to the profes- sional fitness of Mr. Hornblower for the exalted position of associate justice of the supreme court, he being compara- tively a young man and never having held a judicial position, but it was not this that compassed his rejection. Nor will the fact that such a question was raised probably result in any detriment to his personal interests. He will undoubtedly continue to enjoy an extensive practice, for his position as a lawyer of high rank is too firmly es- tablished to be disturbed by the adverse decision of the senate. Mr. Hornblower has been refused the higliest honor that can be bestowed upon a member of the logal profession in this country, but his standing as a lawyer has not been in the least degreo impaired. The great significance of the senate’s action in this case is in its political bearing. It demonstrates that there is in the senate a formidable democratic opposition to the president, and that Senator Hill, the implacable foe of Mr. Cleveland, was able to command it. The nomina- tion of Mr. Hornblower was sent to the senate last Sevtember and ever since Senator Hill has been working to defeat it. Hornblower was one of a large num- ber of the ablest lawyers in New York who condemned the election frauds per- petrated by Judge Maynard, the tool of the Hill machine, by wh the state senate was stolen from the republicans. This condemnation the people of New York approved last November by over- whelmingly defeating Maynard as a can- didate for the court of appeals. Inas- much as Hill's hostility to Hornblower was based chiefly, if not wholly, upon the latter’s course in this matter, and that course had received a great pop- ular endorsement, the success of Hill in his fight against Hornblower is the strongest possible evidence that there is in the senate a formidable body of democrats hostile to the administration, Indications of this had not been lacking befor There had been numerous expressions of dissatisfaction with what was regarded as the dictatorial course of the president and a spirit of resents ment had been manifested by many democrats. The Hornblower nomina- tion supplied the opportunity for a test of this feeling and the result removes all doubt as to how the administration is regarded by a number of democratic senators sufficient’y large to give it a great deal of trouble, Nor does the significance of Mr, Horn- blower’s rejection end here. It means a continuance, with intensified biuter- ness, of the conflict between the democratic factions in New York. The triumph of Hill in the sen- ate will inspirit his followers in the state, while those demoorats who aro al- ready organized for the overthrow of the machine and- the institution of hon- ester and decenter methods in demo- cratic polities will feel the necessity of greater zeal in their efforts. The de- feat of Maynard was a disastrous blow to the Hill factfon; but not absolutely destructive. The victory of Hill in the senate will go far toward realigning his shattered forces apd v ng their hopes, while it ‘restores to him a meas- ure of the prestige he lost in the last popular contest.” The aspect which this latest development gives to the demo- eratic situation {s pregnant with inter- est for the political observer, and it is one which republicans may regard with entire complacency. tion of officers of that close corporation known to famo as the State Board of Agriculture has whipped around again. We do not apprehend that the event will in any disturb the peaceful tranquility of Lincoln or be marked by any effort at a veorganization which will bring about an infusion of new blood into the board or the intro- duction of up-to-dato ideas respecting the management of state fairs. The day of the pumpkin show and cheap horse race kas outlived its usefulness. These necessary adjuncts, to be sure, must be included in the program, but the time come for somo little originality in ate exhibitions, The railroads, which are chiefly interested in the Nebraska state fair, should assist the board in pre- sonting attractions that will for once, at least, vep: visit to the fair grounds. JUDGE Ba t by his decision yester- day practically put an end to the con- tost proceedings instituted by Charles against County Clerk Sackett's title to office. The judge held that in order to properly reach the point of un- aling the ballot boxes and examining the ballots cast the contestant must pre- sent testimony to prove fraud or gross sgularvities in the election. Tracy made no such showing and 1t is ex- tremely doubtful if he can. The sound- ness of the judge’s position will not be questioned. BVEN if the rcpublicans in cong have no opportunity to defeat the Wil- son tariff bill on its passage through the house, they ought to have a chance to offer amendments calculated to deprive it of its more obuoxious features. The democrats might at least allow them the courtesy of sceing their proposed amendments rejected.

S Tari¥ in tho Senate, Denver Republican. There is somo .reason to hopo that the Wiison bill will be defeated in the senate. A change of three votes in that body will knock it out, and Senators Hill and Murphy of New York may possibly break away from their party on that measure. 1f they do there is good reason to believe that at least three of their democratic collengues will follow them. If the bill should be killed gencral prosperity would soon bo restored throughout the country, but it it becomes a law wo will have bad tinies during the re- mainder of President Cleveland's adminis- tration. — Whaling ly Wilso New York Sun, In the housa Hon.

The fact that Alexander Bell's telephone recejvers patent expires at the end of this month should delud® ndone into the belief that telephone service will then be within the reach of the unempioyed. The mere ma- chine itsel{—box, battory, receiver, trans- mitter—-as 1t was seventeen years ago, can then be bought and sold, it is true, and pri- vate tolophones will, be cheap enough to those who care for the juxury, But the tel- ophono as we have it now, with its ‘exe change” comforts and discomforts, will re- main in the hands of its present owners.

In 1592 Mr. Rosewat remonstrated against the issuance of a license to Freder- ick Pinzensham, on the ground of insufcient vublication, the applicant having published his notice in the World-Heraid, taking one of Mr. Hitchcock’s guarantees. After the testimony had been taken in the matter be- fore the board, ihe attorney for the World- Herald made the point that the applicant was Frederica Pinzensham, and on this showing the license board granted the li- cense. An appeal was taken to the district court, the question being whether the morn- ing and evening editions of u newspaper could bg counted as one paper; whether the board could compel the attendance of wit- nesses, and if it could compel a witness to testify. Mr. Hitchcock had refused to tes- tify 1n this case, and had refused to produce his books, holding that both issues of the World-Herald were to be counted as one paper. Judge Keysor granted the applicant a license, holding that she had acted in good faith, and that the bad faith estab- lished by Tne Ber had been proven against Frederick Pinzensham, and not Frederica. He also held that the morning and evening editions of a newspaper were not to be counted as one paper, but two. In order to gota ruling on these points from the su- preme court Mr. Rosewater appealed the case, and has been fully upheld in his con- tention, the highest court of the state hold- ing that two papers caunos be counted as one; that publication must be madé in the single edition having the largest circulation in the county; that the license board can compel tho attendance of witnesses, the pro- duction of books and papers, and the avswer- ing of questions under the pains and penal- ties attaching to contempt of court, —~— Western Patent: WasuiNaToy, Jan. 16.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bege. |—Patents issued Nebraska inventors toduy: Anderson Niels, as- signee of one-half to C.

He believed that thore would bo o almost endless debate, continuing until the tarift bill itself was brought forth from the finance committee.

Now that the burden falls upon the demo- cratic administration the Hoosier senator seems to think things are different and that it is all right for a democratic sceretary ot the treasury to issuo bonds under tho same authority thatexisted during the last admin. istration.
