FOR BETTER CITY GOVERNME. The movement for the organization of a which has just been in- municipal league, A meeting of prominent busi- cltizens and taxpayers, promises to put of where similar efforts to augurated at n Omaha In line with other larger cit the United State promote the reform of municipal goverr ment are under way. It s proposed to nization absolutely non-par o its make the o tisan and non-sectarlan, and to confl activity to the field of municipal politics Wherever success has crowned the efforts of citizen's organizations alming to correct tho abuses of municipal government in other citles it has b fundamental principles. The Municipal league of Philadelphia has perhaps accom- plished more In this direction than has been attained in any other city. The Boston league, the City club of New York, and the various good government clubs of recent origin are making a marked impression upon the municipal governments of their respect- tivb cities, although It is still dificult to discover the Influence which the Chicago loague wielded in the late city eclection. The popularity of the idea upon which these municipal leagues are founded was evidenced by the convention which was held recently in Philadelphia for the discussion of the ways and means of promoting good city government, and which has in turn given d of the movement itioned upon these n - con an Impetus to the spre itself, That there Is ample room in Omaha for a non-partisan and non-sectarian organization of this character will be gainsaid by no one. The attendance at the meeting which de- cided to institute it enables it to start out under good auspices. The greatest draw- back that has been encountered by every concerted effort to Improve our city govern- ment has been the apathy of the very men who ought to be most interested in the work. The better class of citizens and the taxpayers who contribute the bulk of the revenue to the city tressury have hitherto preferrad to stand aloof from municipal polities and to let the professional poli- tician have a free fleld. To stimulate a general active Interest in municipal affairs will in itself be a noteworthy achievement. The success of the present movement must of course depend upon its ability to enlist the co-operation of all who really have the cause of good city government at heart and upon the methods which it shall be decided to pursue. It will depend upon its ability to exclude partisan issues and to avold sec- tarlan dissensions. It will depend upon its ability to prevent the seizure of its ma- chinery by ambitious office-seekers who may wish to use it for personal aggrandizement. Omaha stands in no need of a new political party in quest of a share of the spoils of municipal government. A BIMETALL IC CONFEREN A dispatch from London announces that Mr. Balfour, the conservative leader in the House of Commons, Mr. Lidderdale, formerly governor of the Bank of England and a dis- tinguished authority on matters of finance, with others of perseverance, have promised to attend an international bimetallic con- ference to be held May 2 at the official res donce of the lord mayor of London. Under what upon whose initiative the proposed conference has been called does but the announcement of it is howing that the subject of smmanding serlous attention not a g as interesti bimetallism is abroad. Mr. Balfour, following the avowed adheésion of Lord Salisbury to the policy of bimetallism, has for some time been a pro- nounced advocate of the policy, and as one of the foremost leaders of the conservative party his influence in its behalf must not be underestimated. The ex-governor of the Bank of England is probably a more recent convert, but he stands very high in financial circles and his espousal of the cause of bi- metallism cannot fail to have great weight both with the people and the moneyed classes. It has been intimated as not improbable that the conservative party in England would make this question an issue In the next general election, and i it should declde to do so there is reason to believe that it would gain thereby in popular strength. The money power in England is firmly opposed to bi- metallism and this power dominates the Rosebery government, as it did that of his predecessor, though Mr. Gladstone is a gold monometallist, not from sympathy with the money power, but because he sincerely be- lieves that to be the only true policy of England as a creditor nation, whereas the present premier is identified with the money power, having acquired large wealth from his mariage {nto the Rothschild family. The manufacturing and agricultural interests of England, on the other hand, have been for some time looking with increasing favor upon the principle of bimetallism as contain- ing the promise of improvement in British commerce and much-nceded rellet to (hese interests, Since the action of the Indian government regarding silver England has had a great deal of difficulty with her Indian exchanges, and also with her manufactures. It has been apparent for some time from the discussion of the Indian currency question in the English press that the movement in favor of silver 1s growing In that country, in spife of the powerful opposing influence of her bankers and capitalists, who Insist upon maintaining the gold monometallic standard because they belleve it pays. The manu- facturers, or very many of them, want a change, so does the agricultural Interest, and with them are the working classes. It is thus plain that the party which shall make this question an Issue before the people of Great Britain will be very sure to get a large popular following, and doubtless Mr. s this. At any rate his identifi- nce must Balfour se cation with the proposed confei be regarded as significant. But it is not alone domestic considera- tions that are exerting an influence on the Jritish mind In connection with this ques tion. Recent information from Mexico and the silver countries of Central and South America, I the securities of which British capital is heavily invested, has not been re it Diaz of Mexico recently urope might look for a de- t on the Mexican debt if th © on account uatemala has erved notice in London that the interest soon to fall due on its gold bonds will be defaulted because of the low price of silver and high rates of exchange.
