It has been pertinently suggested that some of the energy directed at the attain- ment of a greater New York might be prof- itably expended In moving for a better New York. Now that Spain and Morocco have adjusted thelr differences by the conclusion of a treaty, the demons of war are once more relegated to South Africa and South America.

Her majesty Queen Victoria could not an- nounce that she parted with her faithful minister, Mr. Gladstone, with regret, and dare not say that she parted with him with satisfaction, if not with pleasure. Democratic office seekers had better pre- pare for the storm. The president had luck against him during his recent expedition after ducks, and the odds are that he will try to get even with the applicants for fed- eral appointments. The Chicago Herald enumerates twenty- threo offices and titles which constitute. the burden daily welghing down upon the shoulders of President Harper of the Univer- sity of Chicago. Little wonder that he s a trifle confused Wwh he tries to explain where in the bible myth ends and revela- tion begins. Bryan is willing to tax the whole people of the United States to support a branch mint at his home town, but he is opposed to a policy that will en- able his town or any other town in Nebraska to support a sugar refinery which wonld benefit thousands of farmers. These theo- retical statesmen have some queer idea: Congressman The importance of the appplication of the attorney gencral to the supreme court for & new rule carrying Into effect the provi- slon” of the constitution giving the supreme court original jurisdiction in civil cases in which the state is itself directly Interested cannot be overestimated. The case agalnst ex-State Treasurer Hill and his bondsmen to recovgr the money lost in the Capital National bank failure hinges upon the de- cision of the court upon the application. Contrary to the general impression on the subject of the influence of hard times upon births and deaths, the report of the Phila- delphia health board makes out that 1893 furnished more births and less deaths than did 1892, There is something defective in the figures in that the real influence of hard times upon the births is not made apparent until some time later and the absolute numbers take no account of the movement of population. It the inference of the Phil delphia board Is sustained the soclologlsts and economists will have to revise their theoriea roing the relation between hard times and the changes in population. con An story of how a large number of Delaware citizens have In vain sought to Induce their tax collector to ac- cept the sums they owe for taxes reaches us through the Philadelphla Press. It tells how the collector eluded every effort to find him until discovered in a Philadelphia hotel; how some of the citizens followed him up, proffered the money and finally lett it on the floor, only to have the collector kick ft from him. The wholo trouble seems to have arisen from the fact that the collector is a democrat and that the citizens who have not paid their taxes by a certain time have thelr names stricken from the list of regls tered voters. The men who have been un- able to have thelr taxes accepted are of ocourse republican In politics, while those of the same political falth with the collector have had no difficulty in having their money accepted whenever they have been able to ralso It.

Certainly there is no reason for supposing that Secretary Smith Is less unfriendly to the system than when he accepted office with the chief object in view of reforming the pension system as far as possible according to the southern idea. Commissioner Loch- ren could not be a party to this > it has been disclosed, without impairing his claim to be a loyal friend of the old soldier. The proposed pension approptiation for the next fiscal year is, in round numbers, $151,000,000, which is nearly $16,000,000 less than the appropriation for the current fiscal year, ending June 30 next. If this reduc- tion in the pemsion account can be made without doing wrong to veterans having a just claim on the beneficence of the govern- ment evdPybody will agree that it Is most desirable it should be made. No one, whether an old soldier or not, who is an honest man, wishes to have a, single dollar paid out of the public treasury unless there is a claim to it of undoubted merit and legality. Every good citizen desires that the pension rolls shall be purged of every name that obtained a place on them through fraud and also that the most thorough scrutiny be exercised in order to prevent fraud. At tho same time every fair-minded citizen desires that the old soldiers shall be treated with absolute fairness and justice, and shall not have thelr rightful claims rejected or with. held In order to save a few millions of dol- lars a year. THE BRITISH POLITICAL SITUATION. Lord. Rosebery is prime minister of Eng land. How long ho will continue In that position it would be hazardous at this time to predict. He has entered upon the duties of his great office with apparent promise of an extended tenure. The men who surrounded Mr. Gladstone in the ministry seem willing to continue on with his succe: There Is dissatisfaction among the radical element of the liberal party, but this is not believed to be dangerous, for the reason tHat the numerical strength of this element is rela- tively insignificant, while it is thought if they should fall out of the liberal ranks their loss would be more than made up by accessions from the liberal unionists. Other disgruntled elements seem to create no ap- prehension, Judging from the utterances of the liberal newspapers. On the surface the situation appears as calm and placid as if no change had taken place in the premier- ship, amounting, as one London correspond- ent expresses it, to the most remarkable political convulsion this generation has known. What undercurrents may be at work or may develop to change the aspect of the situation it is impossible to say, but it would not be surprising at any time to see a manifestation of disturbance inside the liberal factions which may change the whole face of British politics. The generally well informed London cor- respondent of the New York Times supplies light, the authenticity of which he posiively affirms, on the political situation in England which has not appeared else- whore. He states that Mr. Gladstone did not really wish to resign and hoped up to Chursday last that there Would be such a spontaneous united demons'ration of dberal members urging him to remain as would make it possible for him to reconsider his wavering project of retirement and stay. The appeal he hoped for was not made, and on Thursday he spoke the flaal and decl- sive word.

It is ion of the greatest good to the great- est number. To thousands of people the problem of subsistence outweighs all others. They are engaged in the battle of existence and are not concerned In tho location of haded breathing spots. If, then, the estab- shment of a public market house shall re- duce the cost of living to a few thousand people and provide employment for me- chanics in the construction of a market house and auditorium the plea for breathing spots loses Its force. As a matter of fact the whole city of Omaha is a big breathing spot. With our principal thoroughfares twenty feet wider than Broadway, New York, and with blocks at least a third shorter than they are in other citles we get a superabundance of air all the year round, and sometimes a good deal more than we nt. The people who avail themselves of Jefferson square as a breathing spot are for the mdst part people whose stomachs need filling more than their lungs, unless we exclude the class that made it a t ting Dlace, even under the glare of the electric lamps. The State Board of Bducational Lands and Funds has recently made some heavy pur- chases of bonds for the permanent school fund. The activity of the board has been marked since public sentiment was aroused upon the question of state finances some weeks ago. Still it is not to be denied that the board is handicapped to some extent by the limitations of the constitution. It is permitted to invest the permanent edu- cational funds of the state in state and county bonds only. There is no probability that the state will make another bond fssue for many years, and county bonds are becoming scarcer every year. The vy bond issues of the future will be made by the progressive and growing oities of the state. Municipal bonds should be as safe and reliable for purposes as county bonds, and with proper care the In- of the educational funds of the state could be as well subserved by investment in municipal securities. An amendment to the constitution in this respect would result to the advantage of the permanent educ tlonal funds of the state. he: investment terests The Japanese government displays its in- terest in the money guestion by sending a commissioner to the United States stigate and report upon the monetary situation in those countries and the opinlons prevalling there.

Alignment of British Parties. Huffalo Expres The question of a successor to Gladstone may result in a new aliznment of parties in England. The brains of the liberal moye- ment, Gladstone being off the stage, are now in the radical party.

Wyoming wants but one protected article and that is wool. If they will arrange matters so as to aid this industrly, which is a growing one in our state, they can put everything else on the free list. We have some great iron deposits and some fine lead mines, but we'll take our chances on them. Pennsylvania and Illinols can make that fight alone.

In the case in which tho ruling was made the sectretary of the In- terior held that Indians not of full blood must show their Indian extraction through the father and not the mother.
