Bworn to before my t it 23 da 594, Notary Publle. Municipal retrenchment appears to be the order of the day and the first thing in or- der is the dismissal of detectives that don't detect. This Is the anniversary of Queen Victoria’s natal day and British subjects all the world over are joining in the prayer, “God Save the Queen,” Now that Omaha has secured the repub- lican state convention the republicans of Douglas county must get together upon an Omaha candidate for governor. A few more amendments to the senate tarift bill inserting the McKinley law class- ification and experts will be unable to dis- tinguish between the new bill and its prede- cessor. The police forco must be reorganized. The sooner the police commission recognizes this hard, cold fact the sooner will the people of Omaha be accorded adequate police protection. The political lightning rods recently set up In Omaha ought to do good service in relioving us of the truant electricity that has had such disastrous effects upon our water mains and gas pipes. l The report that the late frosts nipped a great many promising political booms in Nebraska seems to have been unfounded, If the prospects shown up at the state central committee meeting were not misleading. | A city council committee has decided to reject some of the items of the expense ac- counts brought in by the alleged city de- tectives. This should be followed by action of the police commission to reject the de- tectives themselves. — Thete Is plenty of room for retrenchment in the city government without encroaching upon the charter offices. The council has legal authority to abolish only those offices ‘Which it has created. It has its hands full in looking after them. Senator Jones, who has been engincering the new amendments to the senate tariff Dill, s reported as saying that the end is already In sight. Yes, but which end? The beginning of the discussion s not yet out of sight. Perhaps it is that end to which Senator Jones refers, ——— A congressional committee s to endeavor to pull some of the plugs out of the fraudu- lent armor plates that have been shoved off on to the government by the Carnagie com- pany. If its members don’t pull out some- thing more than plugs they will not be mak- ing the most of their jobs. Congressman Bryan's letter continues to unduly exclte the faithful in Nebraska. It 18 generally taken as an admission that the young man believes that he would not ex- actly be beaten In the coming congrossional campaign, but simply overpowered by a surplus of republican votes. It Is now the duke of Veragua's cousin Who 1s lunching out at the expense of patri- otlc Americans imbued with a healthy re- spect for the memory of Columbus. If there are any more members of the famlily availa- able, they should hasten hither, before the stock of hospitality becomes exhausted. Our German consular agent at Hamburg admonishes American manufacturers to look to thelr trade, both at home and abroad, if they will hold thelr own with thelr German competitors. German manufacturers are adopting American mothods. It s this that makes their competition more difficult to meet. —_— The capital city warrant shavers who have drawn hundreds of thousands of dol- lars out of the state treasury are dying hard, but their demise is coming none the less surely. The people of Nebraska are in- sisting that the state shall get out from under the weight of its immense floating Indebtedness. "Henry George denounces the way In which the democrats i the senate are handling the tarift bill. He says that they are put- ting too much protection into it. Mr. George would only bs satisfied with a total abolition of the tariff and the substitution therefor of a single tax on land values. He 18 bound to be dissatisfied, anyhow, The ears of the members of the State Board of Transportation seem to be con- structed upon singular specifications. The Joudest demands of the people for the en- forcoment of the law fall upon their aurloular appendages unheeded, while the still small volce of the rallroad manager can bo heard all the way from Omaha to Lincoln, Very naturally, the success of the effort to abolish the civil service commission was greeted with tumultuous applause by the demccrats. The amendment by which the commission was abolished, as far as the house was concerned, was adopted by almost @ strict party vote, but thirteen democrats voting with the republicans to retain tho commissiva. THE PENXNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS. The republicans of Pennsylvania held thelr state convention yesterday and ft was characterized, as usual, with enthusiasm and | confidence. Gencral Hasiins, the candidate for gevernor, Is n strong man, of election there can be no doubt. He Is very popular, Is an able speaker and has an ex- cellent record, He is a most zealous re- publican and has done good scrvice for the party not only In Pennsylvania, but in other statcs, where his superior quallfications as a cumpaign speaker have boen recogniz Under his leadership, which, as indfcat:d in his remarks accepting the nomination, wiil be earnest and aggressive, the republicans of the Koystono state will undoubtedly make the campaign one of the most vigorous in the history of the state. The platform, it need hardly be sald, con- demns in most positive terms the democratic schieme of tarift reform. It holds the party in control of the executive and legisiative departments of the government responsibly for the prevalling unfortunate condition of industries and business, declaring that the efforts of that party to destroy the system of protection to American industries have wrecked our manufacturing establishments, destroyed the value of our farm products, ruined employers, beggared workingmen and brought distrust upon the honcsty of thele proposed legislation, The efforts of republi- can senators to delay and defeat the passage of legislation hostile to any American in- dustry are commend d. The platform makes a declded departure in the declaration favoring an expansion of the currency until it shall amount to $40 per capita of the popu- latfon. No republican convention has hitherto ventured to say that the amount of the circulating medium should be, and this enunciation of the Pennsylvania re- publicans fs therefore especlaily noteworthy. It shows that they have been impressed by the demand for more money, and it is to be expected that their declzration will have welght with republicans of other btates. The present per capita of clrculation is a little less than $25. Estimating the popu- lation at 68,000,000, a per capita circulation of $40 would require an Increase of the cur- rency to the amount of $1,020,000. Could this be done and the soundness and stability of our currency be maintained? Would not such an infla- tion, however gradually accomplished, inevitably depreciate the whole mass and force gold out of the country? We think the republicans of Pennsylvania have made a mistake In this matter. In so far as it implies that there is not money enough in the country, the answer is tc be found in the vast amount of idle money locked up in all the financial centers. The trouble is not a lack of money, but the want of confidence, and this cannot be supplied by any process of Inflation. That Pennsylvania will give an over- whelming majority for the republican ticket next November is an entirely safe predic- tion. The people of that state have suf- fered more severely, perhaps, than those of any other from the industrial depression and they will record their protest in the next election against the democratic poligy, which they believe to be responsible for their hardships, with a strength of numbers that will leave no doubt as to the earnestness and intensity of their dissatisfaction. The unprecedented majority given Galusha A. Grow will undoubtedly be equalled in No- vember and may be exceeded. DEMOCRATIC SENATORS IN LINE. The defeat of Senator Teller's motion to lay the tariff bill cn the table must be ac- cepted as demonstrating the ability of the democrats to pass the bill whenever the final vote on it is reached. It has been thought that Senator Gorman would not vote for the bill with the income tax provision retained, but he has announced that it will have his suppont. The fact that Senator Hill voted against tabling the measure is significant and can only be interpreted as meaning that he, too, has concluded to vote for the measure, income tax amd all. In that case it is assured that the bill will have the unanimous support of the democratic senators, and with them will be arrayed the three populist members, all of whom voted against Teller's motion. The Colo- rado senator’s motion was perhaps timely, but at any rate the result showed the re- publican senators the exact situation, and it was doubtless desirable that they should have this information. Some of them have been basing the hope that the bill could be defeated upon the presumption that several democrats would not support it. In the re- cent caucus of republican senators the claim was made that from four to seven democratic votes would be given against the tariff bill. This is shown to have been a mistake, and it Is now made evident that there is a safe majority for the measure. The republicans can now decide upon their course without any reference to democratic defection. They cannot count upon any help from that source. Manifestly the only way to defeat the bill is by delay, and it is questionable whether the republican senators can be held together In support of a policy of delay. Some of the western senators have an- nounced themselves as opposed to such a policy and in favor of letting the bill go to a vote as soon as it has been fairly dis- cussed. Yesterday's action will probably im- prove the chances of the bill passing be- fore the end of the current fiscal year. USURPING THE APPOINTING POWER, The charter for cities of the metropolitan class centers the responsibility for the vari- ous departments of government upon the mayor by vesting him with the sole power of appointment, The functions of the council in respect to these appointments Is simply adyisory. The con- currence of the council in the nominations does not confer upon It the power to dic- tate to the mayor whom he shall appoint, but is merely intended as a check to pre- vent the selection of persons who, In the Jjudgment of the council, may be disquali- fied either by incompetency, want of fit- ness or lack of integrity. Whatever the councll is prohibited from doing directly it has no right to do, or attempt to do, indi- rectly. It Is therefore manifest that any attempt on the part of the council to exer- clse appointing powers is nothing more nor less than flugrant usurpation. A striking instance of such reckless disre- gard of charter limitation has been fur- nished already by the so-called employment of an acting city electriclan. Under the pernicious leadership of Haseall, whose genlus for revolutionary proceedings and devices for whipping the devil around the stump ls notorlous, an official Is being folsted upon the clty pay roll who holds his commission from the city council only. If this prece- ‘dent 1s to be followed up the council will bo able to flll every office within the gift of the mayor whenever there is a vacancy by stmply refusing to confirm the mayor's appointments. By pursuing the same tac- ties It can vacate every office that is not created by the charter and after re-estab- lishing the same office 1l the political vacuum with Its own creatures and keep whose | R ————— e s 1 ! | THE OMAHA them there by refusing to confirm the ap- pointeos of the mayor. As a natural accompaniment of this naw departure the committee on judiciary, of which Hascall is chairman, now proposes to extend Its patronage to the deputles of department heads. A few weeks ago (he buitding inspector made a request for . ad- ditional deputy. The communication was promptly referred to that committee, wlore it remains and probably will not be brought out till the members shall have taken ac- tion another paper that is in thelr possession making the appointment of a deputy by the fnspector subject to confirma- tion by the council. The intention Is evi- dently to force into office a man who shall be named by the council coterle. In other words, they propose to usurp the power of appointing to still another office. Lot this continue and we may as well abolish the office of mayor and rely upon the council to exercise its dutios, The council will show wisdom In leaving the appointing power alone, upon IN F'K AVICTORY IR LABOL Not the least significant feature of the defeat and resignation of the French min- istry is the fact that the vote in the Cham- ber of Deputies was a distinct victory for labor. The adoption of the motion asking the government not to make any difference between state and private employes means a great deal, as is obvious from the debate that preceded it. This shows that the course of the government in imposing re- strictions upon state employes has operated to the disadvantage of private employes, more particularly those in the rallway ser- vice, some of the companies imposing like restrictions to those of the government. It 18 the policy of the latter not to permit the men in its service to organize unions, and it is in imitation of this policy that most of the raflroad companies refused to give leave of absence to their men to attend the national congress of the Railway Working- men’s federation, which consequently opened with a very slim attendance. One of the objects of this congress s to promote organization among railway employes, and it was plainly the purpose of the companies to render the congress a fallure. Possibly that will be done, but meanwhile their course has brought on a political crisis, and has given to the cause of labor in France a victory, the prestige of which can hardly fail to be valuable. The agitation for eight hours as a legal day’s work will doubtless proceed with renewed vigor, now that the fact has been demonstrated that French workingmen have a strong body of friends in the Chamber of Deputies. France has not escaped the effects of the world-wide depression, though ske has not had quite so severe an experience as some other countries. However, her industries for a year or more have not been active, a great many of her people have been ldle, and the conditions as to labor have been such as to give the question of amelioration prominence and importance. Reduction of the hours of labor is one of the expedicnts proposed for supplying more labor with em- ployment. That proposition is now to re- celvo serious consideration by the commis- sion on labor, with a strong probability that the result will be favorabie to the demand of the workingmen. As to the political situation, 1t is not likely to prove trouble- some, though the dispatches suggest that President Carnot may not find it a very casy matter to construct another cabinet. Carnot has had a great deal of experience in this line, however, and he has generally shown good judgment, so that it is pretty safo to predict that he will have another ministry formed without unnecessary delay. In the meantime, the affairs of the nation will not suffer, for these so-called minis- terial crises do little more than ruffle the surface of things. What the working classes will do to improve their obvious opportunity is an interesting question, but they will un- doubtedly make the most of it. Sergeant Sigwart has been designated to act as captain of police temporarily pend- ing the suspension of Captain Cormick. It memory serves us right Sergeant Sigwart very recently made a report over his own signature in which he represented that after a most searching inquiry he could only discover four houses of assignation and not a-solitary prostitute outside of the “burnt district.”” A police officer notoriously fa- miliar with all the ins and outs of the town who deliberately palms off such a brazen falsehood on the chief proves himself unreliable and unfit for the lowest place on the force. To promote him is putting a premium on falsehood and dishonesty. The manifest duty of Chief Seavey was to rec- ommend both Sigwart and Haze, who also signed the scandalously false report, to the police commission for dismissal. These men are sworn officers and their official re- ports are presumed to be under oath. When they signed that report they must have known that there are no less than a dozen houses of assignation and scores of women of fll-fame outside the pale. If they had qualified that statement by representing that these parties evade police supervision and can only be reached occasionally they would have at least disarmed suspicion that they have purposely played into their hands or been fixed in some way. The Bee has always contended that the statistics of Nebraska's mortgage Indebted- ness, as reported by the deputy commis- sioner of labor, were incorrect and mislead- ing. Under the law of Nebraska every mortgage is sure to be recorded; but when the mortgage is pald off the releases aro filed or not, just as it happens. In Adams county an effort has been made to have the old releases placed on record. As a result of the effort 800 releases have been filed, one firm of chattel mortgage brokers filing 500. This means that In Adams county alone 800 mortgages have been carried on the mortgage indebtedness record after they had been paid off. A similar condition exists in every county In the state. When releases are recorded as promptly and as certainly as the mortgages themselves, Nebraska credit will receive a new and higher ratin The republican state convention to be held in Omaha on August 22 will consist of nearly a thousand delegates. It will bring to this city several times that number of visitors from out of town. While not of national Importance, it will attract more attention throughout the state than any other convention that has been held here in recent years. The people of Omaha must seo to it that the convention recelves the consideration at thelr hands that it de- ser Philadelphia people are actually getting excited over the threatened removal of the United States mint from that city to the west. For months they have been haggling over the selection of a new mint site, un- able to agree elther upon a desirable loca- tion or upon the fair value to be paid for the land that must be taken by the govern- ment for that purpose. Suddenly they have D AILY BEE: T HURSDAY ot that thix dissension | speak, offers one of l}:n‘nlu for taking the PLM altoget 8o they ally for an aestion of the waked up to the among themselves,', the most potent mint from Philad have commenced to cry frant fmmediate deciston, the new mint wiinft further dispute as to minor detalls. @H#p are telling the ob- stinate property oWifely, ‘who are demand- Ing ex rbitant prices from the government for thelr land, that they had better take any reasonable price they can get and be satis- fled with that.

The mar- shal gets the fees and mileage. He travels on a railroad p A great many men have been put to a great inconvenience, loss of time and money and disgrace in order that a United States mar:hal may pile up fees. Such things have been done in Ne- braska. even The new public printer leaves no doubt as to his partisanship. Within the last week he has discharged 800 printers from the government office. Of course, there is no work for them. But as soon as the repub- licans are cleaned out the country may ex- pect to be surprised at the rapidity with which the work will again pile up, thus ne- cessitating the appointment of 800 demo- cratic printers, The political party that es- tablishes the precedent that the laboring man shall not suffer by reason of political reverses sustained by his party will be the true friend of the workingman. There may be some excuse for the decapitation of po- litical taborers, but politics should keep its hands off the men who work at manual labor for their bread. 1t is gratifying to learn that the reported damage to the beet sugar crop has been very much exaggerated, and that despite the recent cold snap and frost the outlook for a good yleld of beets is still quite prom- ising. Instead of being ruined, the Injurles that have been suffered are only nominal and will not affect the crop, always provid- ing that no intervening misfortune happens upon it. Another successful season with the beets will go far to make the culture an established feature of Nebraska agriculture. The farmers are to be congratulated that the reports of damaged best crops have proved to be almost entirely unfounded. Keep n -tift Upper Lip. Loulsville Courier-Journal. It Is gratifying to receive from a high source the assuranca that the democratic party may safely stand on the record of this congress. Since we must stand on it, whether we will or no, it is perhaps just as well to keep a stift upper lip. A Favorablo Gomparison. Glohe-Democrat. It s by comparing the gold exportation this year with that of previous periods that we find the situation is not as bad as many imagine, “Thus far thls vear the net ex- ports are about $23/000,000,’ while they were $48,000,000 last year aty this time, $17,000,000 in 1593 and $10,000,000 in’ 1591, ————— The Indian as o Soldier. Detroit Free Press. The fallure of “thé plan to civilize the Indian by making a soldier of him will tend to revive the old theory that the good In- dian is the dead Indian. It really is a pity, because the experiment was an exceedingly promising one. Service in the army seemed calculated to minister in a peculiar manner to all the Indian’s tastes, with the excep- tion, perhaps, of his thirst for gore, which could only be gratified at long intervals, if at all. Unfortunately it called upon him for too much method and regularity, and too much that had the appearance of work. Let us not despair, however. It may be that some better use may still be found for the red man than the starting of ceme- teries. e Lok Out for Coxey. Philadelphia Times. The eyes of the country may center upon the Eighteenth Ohio district this year, if the populists make good their guarantee of an exciting campaign, for this is the dis- trict In which that unique Commonwealer, General Coxey, has decided fo run for con: gress, but then, again, the eyes of the coun- try may catch upon better employment and not give Coxey more than a passing thought while in pursuit of his mission. The dis- trict gave Dr. Ikirt a democratic majority of 12[1 two years ago in a total vote of 46,818, and the populist candidate then had 1,18 'votes, or less than 3 per cent of the whole numiber. If Ohio voters have so far revised their opinion as to give Coxey twenty populist votes where one was cast in 1892, the country will change its views touching that state. Coxey's platform finds no indorsement in the east, and Ohio is generally on the side of sound government. R THE BREATH OF MIRTH.

It fs probable, how- ever, that he could come nearor bolng elected than any other anti-repubiican could. Kearney Hub: Congressmun Dryan has written an open letter stating that he s not a candidate for renomination in the First district, and Intimating that he is looking for something higher. He is remarkably discreet, because in the first place his re- clection 18 not possible. And, as for his r ambitions, It is written that they are destined to be nipped by early frosts Central CI Democrat William J. Bryan will not be a candidate for congress in the First district. We are glad of it, for he would have had a desperate fight and might have falled in the end. The pie biters and cuckoos lave made up their minds to elect | a_republican in that district, and the whole of the administration would be thrown against Bryan. Desides, we nced our great congressman clsewhere, Nebraska City Press: The game Bryan has undertaken fs a desperate one, but he starts out early and with a_masterful stroke. He has cast his party affiiation into the wager in the hope of retal: personal prize, his seat in congress, Politically there is much in the game to lose, and much to gain. Personally thore is nothing to lose and all to gain. This is beyond a doubt Bryan's own view of his declination. York Times: Young Mr, Bryan says he will not be a candidate for congress this fall, and in his letter, in which he declines the honor that has not been tendered him, he scores the democratic party and says a good many things about the pops. He just came near enough owning up that he is a pop. to put him in line for the senatorial race, in which he proposes to perform tho wonderful feat of riding the pop. broncho and the democratic mule at one and the same time. University Place Mail: Bryan ovidently belleves that the next democratic nomince will have a rocky road to travel this year, and he says he prefers the quiet of civil lite. Some will doubtiess read between the lines of his letter a desire for a populist nomina- tion and a democratic endorsement. ~ Mr. Bryan has not been in close touch with the administration ring of his party for some time and has not been allowed to dictate the federal patronage of his district, nor has he been so popularily recognized as he was during his first term. This ha: no doubt made him feel that he was not under obliga- tions to the party that had treated him with neglect, and that some one else should lead the forlorn hope this fall. The outlook now appears to be favorable to a republican house the next term of congress, and Mr. Bryan can read the handwriting on the wall as well as any of his contemporaries. Kearney Standard (pop.): Bryan's letter is no surprise to us nor the free silver anti- admink:tration democrats who have looked upon this brilliant young statesman as a man who would not serve a party long that sacrificed its pledges to the people to serve a British master. We look upon it, as we believe his friends do, as a preparatory step to sever his connection with the demccratic party to afiliate with the people’s party. We sincerely trust that this be true and see no reason why it should not, since there has been no other barrier between him and the people’s party but party name. The Stan- dard will rejoice to welcome him and his friends into the populist ranks and will guarantee that should he be so fortunate as to aid in carrying our banner to victory his reward will not be overlooked. His metal and brilliancy have made him a friend of the poor and they will never treat him as did the party he tried to redeem last fall if he will but help lead them. e STATE POLITICAL NOTES, Red Cloud Chief: This ought to be a year of clean things, and the republican party should regulate all of the hangerson that have played bloodsucker to the band ‘wagon to the rear and put up men who are without blemish. Clean men and sound principles will insure victory. Dawson County Pioneer: While strictly a western Nebraska man, having resided at Lexington since the days of the buffalo, In- dian and cowboy, Jack MacColl is not a sectional candidate. His friends are con- fined to no section—the east, west, north and south, demand his candidacy, and will secure his nomination. **We are all for Jack MacColl.” Lincoln News: Colonel Walt M. Seeley has taken the road again as advance man for the famous Tom Majors combination. Colonel Seeley has succeeded in working up a large business for his company every sea- son, but his work is said to be getting coarser each week. He came very near paying his fare on the railroad the other day while in a fit of absent mindedness. Hastings Nebraskan: The republicans must put forward their very best men. Re- publican success next fall will largely de- pend upon the personnel of the ticket. Political hacks and the anything for office contingent, with which every party is more or less affiicted, should not be considered in the convention. There are plenty of good, honest and true men and republicans from which to make selections to fill every place from governor down, and the choice of the convention should be from among them. Kearney Hub: It s conceded that John T. Mallalieu’s only formidable competitor for the congressional nomination will be Judge Kincald of O'Neill. The judge is very pop- ular in the “Elkhorn” country but is little known in this section or in the western por- tlons of the district. It Is not probable, how- become a sec- ever, that the contest will tional one, although this can hap- pen very easily unless good judg- ment Is shown by the friends of all candidates. What the party wants is the man who will win, and 1t does not matter whether he will hail from the county of Holt, Buffalo, Custer, Lincoln, Cheyenne or Dawes. Howells Journal (dem.): The railroad press of the state is greatly excited because of the fact that there is some talk of nominating Crounse for governor in spite of his asser- tion of a short time ago that he would not be a candidate. It is amusing to hear these fellows whine when they think that there is the shadow of a chance of knocking out there pet—Tom Majors. When Crounse signed the Newberry freight rate measure he sealed his political ‘doom 5o far as this class is con- cerned. Crounse will be wise to stick to his first determination not to be a candidate, If he should go into the convention he will meet the same fate that Judge Maxwell ran up against. two cratic tarift bill and to the cause of their existence. s In the first place, the bill 18 not for a tariff for revenue only. In the second place, it is a measure for the promotion of the anti-democratic, anti- American communistic spirit which has Ccreated the party known as populists. Sxplanation full and unmistakable of this shocking failure of the democracy on the one hand and this revolutionary "betrayal of the country into the preliminaries of communism _on the other, Is found in the last executive message from the white house. They are both airectly and solely attributable to Grover Cleveland. It is for the president to supply the rem- edy. Theory and Demonstration. Indlanapolis Journal. Those theorists who made themsclves sad & century ago by proving that population would increase in a greater ratio than the food supply should be a warning to today's fheorists, now that food was never so plenti- ful and 8o cheap.
