The peos of Lincoln and surrounding country had the privileges of free ever since the first settiement of the state, but they never took advantage of the op- ortunity.

The rejection of the nomination of Horublower to be an as- sociate justice of the supreme court means wvastly more than the simple refusul of the scoate to confirm a nomination upon 1ts wmierits. It is true that the judiciary commit- tee agreed to an adverse report upon the nomination largely on the demerits of the case, as it was presented, and it 1s true that many of the senators who voted against con- firmation did so because they believed Horn- biower to be unfit for the position, which re- quires not only the highest order of legal at- tainments, but the best possible private as well as public character he Hornblower case upon the prima facie presentation, stripped of all of its po- litical entanglements, did not warrant favor- able action at the hands of the senate. Ac- cording to the statements presented by able, houest and disinterested lawyers and business men, Mr. Hornblower not good erough lawyer or good enough man to oceuny a life position upon the bench of the supreme court of the United States. Ris as sociations had not been such as 1o recom- mend impartial and judicial action in all classes of causes whict might come before the bench. All of this aside from the many political entanglements invoived in this complicated case. There's » Combine. here is no question, however, that the motives which inspired much of the opposi- tion to Hornblower's nomination and which really effected the defeat of ‘Gonfirmation in- volve political considerations of an impor- tant order. There has been formed in the senate a combination between certain demo- cratic and republican senators for offensive and defensive work which threatens the stability of the president's prerogatives in filling ofices. Every democrat who voted agaiost Hornblower's nomination feels that the president has not only disregarded his wishes in the matter of making appoint- uts to federal offices in his state, but has shown a disposition to compel him to sup- port legislation and policies in opposition to the interests of those he was elected to serve. ‘The tight upon the president is not werely oue to aiscipline him in the matter of making appointments, but to compel him to shell out the ofices to democratic senators who are responsible for appointments within their own states. It isa movement intended to resent the imperious 1 fluences and inter ference of the president and his cabinet ofti- cers in the matters of legislation, al Polley In connection with the forthcoming bond issue it is stated that the president has talked over with s cabinet officers the prop- osition to vastly enlarge the natioval debt by long standiug bonds, or consols, similur se carried by the government of Greut n, and the issue of a large amount of notes upon the credit of the government, in order to make it possible to soon udopt Englana’s anti-tarft policy. The president’s ruminations are not made exactly clear, but it is hinted that he Is ulso consideériug in th same connection the withdrawal from circu lation of much of our silyer and all of our silver certificates, und holding them as collateral security for the issues which are to be made upon the government's credit. Tie bonds or consols are, of course, to be sold for gold, and the country is to go upon a wold basis This will not be encouraging news either to those who favor a liberal use of silver as money or those whoadvocate n protective tar. if. The president’s ultimate plan means the ultimate decrease of the per copita circula. tion. He believes this to be necessary in er to adopt & policy as near the Enclish ree trade basis as possible, and notadopt an incowe tux. Most of the free traders, like Bryan of Nebraska and Simpson of Kansas, advance income taxes as the proper means of insuring the Enghsh system, but the president is opposed to income taxes be- rause his own state of New York opposes them.

It is however, that in commu panic and finan cial distress shoula start such a movement, especially when the s { many rep resented the earni rived m years of toil and self denia that such action has brought about the very disaster 1 can not be disputed. Where the Loss Was Most Felt, The extent of not s ities tho rum loss occasioned by bank failures canuot, however, bo measure the direct loss' to stockholders and de tors, since every industry in the country was 10 a greater or less extent affected by their failure and the panic that had its inception therein. The worst sufferers have been the mercantile concerns and munufacturers, 1t has not been possible, however, to get speci- tic data regarding failures of manufacturers, t 1t is asgumed that the larger part of the failures ubove referred to were of 4 mercan- character. Manufacturers buve protected themselve closing their wo vloyes. In jud; disaster, therefore, to such indus one must not only take into considers the amount of actual failure, but the enormous amount of capital invested in the properties lying idle and the loss in ages to thousands of discharged employes. It hus been asserted that i the city of Chi- cago alone there are over 100.000 men out of employment and a similar condition exists 1w all parts of the country > full story of the loss. the suffering and the crime entailed by this situation will never be told, excent by appeals for charitable assistance, by mutterings and threats of discordant and frenzied mobs, and by overflowing alu houses and jails. That this is the wor: apd most deplorable phuse of the whole situ- ation cannot be contraverted, and tne finan- cial losses of millionaires and corporations sink o insignificance when compared with it Railroads Stagger Under the Blow. Another great industry of the country that has in the latter part of the year felt the full effect of the general depression of all business 1s the railways. They did not show the effect of the situation 8000 as other business interests that have suffered, but inasmuch as their prosperity is contin- gent on the prosperity of all other indus- tries they could not escape the effect of their depression. 1lndividual losses, the stagnation of cvery business and the in- activity of manufacturers have decreased both passenger and freight traftic, but it scoms probable that a large partof the ter to railways has been caused by in- 1o renew loans and flosting indebted contracted in prosperous times, on uc- count of the financial s The number of roads of receivers during the six, representin a capital stock of over $600,000.090 and ‘bonds to the amount of over a billlon doliars. Thirty-three of these roids werce all, less important lines. under 100 miles in length, a number of them still in course of construction, their aggregate mileage being a little over 1,200 miles. The disaster to these and other rouds that in prosperous times were hardly able to earn running ex- penses, is undoubtedly directiy attributable to the general depression of business. In the case of many of the more important lines that have gone into the hands of re- ceivers, however, there were special and other reasons than a loss of traftic that operated to bring about the failures. For the purpose of showing some of these, specific reference 1s made to seven of the more important lines n the hands of re- ceivers, representing a mileage of over 21,000 miles, or 73.50 per cent of the micage placed in the hands of receivers during the year, together with an extruct of the re Sons ssigned for the receiverships gleumed from promireut railroad papers: Philadeiphia & Keading Railrond. Regarding the receivership of this the Journat of Finance says: is cpisode marks the calmination of & series of events in the history of the Reading ilroad thut has been of a sensational chur- acter.

Tt will be noticed that only in two or ttiree of these cases is as wade o0 a decrenseq carning ) The extent of the d1saster to and finaucial business has been meas the amount of the liabilities. In the case of railroads, however, it is based on the par value of outstanding stocks and bonds. It wili be noted that there cun be no sale com- parison made between the two amounts, 1n- asmuch as no estimate cau be made as to the actual money value of, the railway capital- ization. 1t has been charged bysame that the effect of legislation has teuded to increase re- ceiverships. This, from.a railroad stand- point, seems an casy and convenient cxcuse for the cxisting condition, but when considered with the facts it seems wholly unsatisfactory and fallacious. Many of the abuses relative to rate cutting and discriminations, which caunot but result to the detriment of railway in- terests, could largely be done away with by legislation, giving the government more con- trol over the estaolishment and maintenance of vates than is possible under the present laws. Looking at the subject from this standpoint would seem 1o indicate that tne railroads needed to be protectod aghinst themselves, and that instead of any part of the presct legislative restrictions being re- moved they should be extended. Flac.d on a Sound Bas's. king into consideration all the facts in rd fo the c 1 and financial de- pression of 1893, the only logical conelusion is that it is one of the periodical cruptions that overtake the country, which result in de- stroying inflated and fictitious valuations and” placing all interests, for the time being, on a sound value basis. That the 'pamec of 1503 hus surpassed all others is due to the march of progress and t0 the phenomenal growth and development of every line of industry since the last panic. The ereater and more varied the industries, the more rapid and phenomenal their development, the more inflated and fictitious the valuation, the greater must be the revulsion, Out of the present depre sion, with all its loss and disaster, will arise a sound and safe adjustment of values, and with_ restored confid and new vigor, the indusiries of the country will march hand in hand to au era of pros- perity hitherto unknows.
