We were not aware that there was any question over German silver. German gilver is a very useful alloy, but it has not yet attained an international or even a national importance. The silver question in Germany is concerned with the same metal as the silver question in every other country. A © per cent dividend on the Capital Na- tional bank liabilities is not very much in itself, but as a starter must be very ac- ceptable to the creditors who have been walting these many weary months to get a chance at their shares of the assets.

Congressman Bland must be conceded the merit of persistency in everything he under- takes. Not only did he force the seignior- age bill through the house by dint of physi- cal exertion, but he also spent a good deal of time supervising its progress through the senate.

NATIONAL MILITARY PARKS. The idea of preserving some of the great battleflelds of the war cammends itself to s provided for Chickamauga military park and a mission to use electricity as a motive power on the Erfe canal had been granted to the Cataract General Electric company of Ni- agara Falls, and that the superintendent of public works of New York had fssued a fifty-year permit. Experiment has demon- strated the feasibility of applying electricity to this purpose, and it will effect a saving of both time and expense. It s said that at the maximum charge which the electric company is permitted to make for propelling a boat during the season of navigation, there will be a saving to the owner of 50 per cent in comparison with the present rate of canal boat propulsion. This will doubtless also effect a reduction in the cost of transporta- tion, so that the project of using electricity as a motive power-on the Erie canal I8 really a matter of widespread interest. This is but one of several schemes which the capitalists who have been developing the water power of Niagara are promot- ing for the commercial utilization of elec- tricit On the same day that the above transaction was consummated there was another of hardly less importance. This was the formation of a company with a cap- ital of §10,000,000, whose business Is the distribution of electric power generated at Niagara Falls to the citles and villages controlled by the company for manufactur- ing and lighting purposes. ~ Still other pro- Jects of a similar character are in contempla- tion, the practicability of which scems to be assured. These transactions indicate tho speedy consummation of the Niagara Falls Development company’s plans, and the im- agination can hardly conceive the possible influences of this work upon the commer- clal, soclal and industrial interests of New York state. When the electrical sclentists of Burope last year Investigated what was being done at Nlagara they seemed very greatly interested In the scientific problems presented. They reported that in Europe, not only in sclentific but in commercial circles, this work was regarded as perhaps the most important of all recent things done for the greater development of manu- facture and commerce. They were doubt- ful, however, as to the ability to do more than to create a great manufacturing com- munity along the banks of the Niagara river, or perhaps to carry the electric cur- tinents will be better able to buy German goods. It is not at all unlikely that this view has weight with the German govern- ment. The difculty is that Germany has been so entirely under the influence of England in this matter that there is naturally a doubt whether she can free herself from this in- fluence. She may do this, however, and in that event there would be good prospect of a satisfactory international agreement re- garding silver. The British ministry repudiates the report that it has any intention of asking for a re- convening of the Brussels International Mon- etary conference.

Fairbury Fairplay: In the damage suit instituted by ex-Sherift Bennett against The Omaha Bee some new light is being thrown on the Mosher scandal case. The evidence proves conclusively that the sheriff not only permitted Mosher to visit disreputable paces, but that the sheriff and jailer even went so far as to make appointments for him. The Bee evidence also gives United States Attor- ney Ben Baker a severe drubbing for his part in the whitewashing proceedings. or Douglas county had Editor Rosewater of The Bee arrested on the charge of printing false statements about him in respect to the libertics allowed Bank Wrecker Mosher while he had him in charge. From the evi- dence produced at the trial the ex-sherift would have been better off had he remained quiet, as the charges are being substantiated as fast as witnesses can be examined, and the indications are that Mr. Bennett is booked to make his exit from the little end of the horn. York Democrat: Ex-Sheriff Bennett of Omaha stirred up a hornet’s nest when he had Edward Rosewater arrested for crim- inal libel, and Is now probably sorry he spoke. Rosewater Is something of a howler himself when he is aroused, which Mr. Bennett has probably discovered by this time. The testimony developed in the preliminary hearing before the police judge running over the last three weeks, is d gusting in_the extreme. It shows a sorry state of affairs in the management of the Douglas county jail. Papillion Times: The editor of this paper was not_many months ago a witness before Judge Dundy's grand jury. Perhaps it may be contempt of court to tell what trans- pired in the grand jury chamber, but we'll take chances in making the public ass tion that if Ben Baker tried as hard to shield Bennett, Mosher and Marshal White Quring the Bennett investigation as he dia to shicld Dundy when this editor was on the stand, then the failure to indict the Mosher-Bennett-White brigade may be the more readily understood, Lincoln News: The attention of White- washer Ben Baker Is called to the testi- mony of Mrs. Ingalls, the woman with whom Mosher's mistress boarded In Omaha, which proves conclusively that the bank wrecker was allowed to purchase liberties that should bring the blush of shame to the men in whose custody he was placed. Her testimony was to the effect that Mosher bhad called on the Sayer woman four or five times in September last and had re- mained all night. Mr. Baker should go hide his head, after his farcical investi- gation and report that all these stories were untrue.

At a Vanceburg, Ky. prayer meeting the other night Deacon” Lawhern was power- fully uplifted and prayed with great strength and eloquence. After the services he was congratulated upon his efforts by Deacon Dills, who, however, ventured to call his attention ' to what he deemed a flavor of heresy in a certain part of the prayer. Deacon Lawhern repelled the in- sinuation; Deacon DIlls reiterated his as- sertion; Deacon Lawhern felt it his duty to say that Deacon Dills was a falsifier; Deacon Dills _retorted Deacon Law-: hern was another; Deacon Lawhern seized a stone and hit Deacon Dills in the neck; Deacon Dills clinched with Deacon Law- hern and bit his thumb off; Deacon Lawhern drew a slungshot and caved in Deacon Dills' head, and would have dispatched him to his heavenly home altogether if the pi tor had not interfered. The whole affair was most unfortunate, and, as it turns out, utterly useless, because at last accounts Deacon Lawhern still maintains his ortho- doxy, while Deacon Dills still proclaims him to be a heretic.
