England would like nothing better than to utilize the strike disturbances in ths country as a pretext for changing the rout of Ner Australian mails that now travers the United States from San Francisco to New York.

B s whether it be $1 or $1.10, will be levied on all spirits in bond on and after the day the bill is approved. Consequently the receipts from this source are likely to be unusually large until the pending bill Is enacted, and will be of great service to the treasury at this particular time. It is also to be re- marked that the proposed legislation regard- ing spirits will be of great immediate ad- vantage to the Whisky trust, which will get the advance in the tax for all the whisky now being taken out of bond at the existing of 90 cents per gallon. Various esti- mates have been made of what' the trust will gain In this way, the least of which places the amount at $35,000,000, and this is only about half the sum which the trust will ul- timately get out of the proposed logislation, it it Is adopted, and the bonding period ex- tended from three to eight years. The improved receipts of the treasury, however, while it puts the department in a better condition to meet current obliga tions, not the gold reserv which is still many millions below the law rate does increase ful amount, with little probability of any material increase before the new tarift bill goes into effect. Fortunately there is just now no very extensive demand for gold for export and none is expected during the of the summer, so that there is no cause for apprehension on this Within the next two months there will be a mor of merchan- dise, which, in the ordinary course of things, should tend to bring about a return of gold, but event may certainly be counted upon to stop the outflow. If the new tariff the time named in bill will undoubtedty large to the treasury from fmports, which would doubtless restore re- mainder score, active export movement in any the be a into effect at now August there inflow of gold the reserve within two or three months to the lawful amount. Of course there Is no certainty that the new tariff bill will go Into cffect at the time fixed in the pending bill, but whenever it shall take eftect it is assured that there will follow a rapid ac- cumulation of gold in the treasury The fmproved condition of the treasury is a matter of general interest and it Is to be hoped it will continue. The Intimate re- lations between the financial department of the government and the monetary interests f the people make the conditions of the former a matter of great ce, and the knowledge that the treasury is getting into better shape cannot fall to have a reassur- ing effect One of the sensible things done by the mass meeting called In New York to ex- press sympathy with the striking railroad men was_the corporation into the resolu- tions of a demand upon congress that the Kovernment mortgages upon the Pacific rail roads be fureclosed. Those who voted for this propo:ition may have meant that the government should itselt assume tmmediate control and management ot these roads, al- though that I8 no necessary part of the fore losure. If the capitalization of these roads were reduced to a basis of actual value they could conducted with mgst reasonable charges for transportating passengers freight and pay their employes living wages from top to bottom.

The members of the confer- committee on the tarift bill have been golng over that measure since last Monduy behind the republican bers of the committee being excluded from The this treatment, le on Thursday introduced in the senate reforring to it. It s not the senate democrats will notice of the matter, it being safe that they fully approve of the of their party colleagues on the com- democratic ence closed doors, mem- the republicans have pro and Senator meetings. d against a resolution probable that any assume take to course mittee, The democratic conferees explain th tion by stating that it was directed by the to reach conclusions among them- before inviting the republicans to with them. It is further said that present sessions of the are merely for consultation and not of the conferenco committee. simply conferences of the majority me: bers, so it Is urged, such as have been usual in the consideration of differcnces between the two houses on a tariff meas- ure, and this method is further sought to be justified on the ground that it will re- sult in the cconomy of time, without priving the minority of any right or oppor- tunity to have the differences fully sidered when they are called to consider them, It is understood that when the republicans are called into the conference they upon their right to the la: order, and it is be conceded by the But this concession will really amount to nothing after.the democrats have come to a perfect understanding among themselves as to the final form of the bill. It s not difficult to understand why the democrats should desire to exclude republi- cans from their consultations. There has been some business in connection with the framing of portions of the pending measure which the democrats, particiilarly those of the senate, understand the expediency of keeping as much as possible in the dark. The considerations that dictated the sugar hedule will undoubtedly have to ‘be ex- plained to the house democrats on the con- ference committee, and obviously it would to moke this explanation in the presence of the republic A number of other changes made by the senate demo- crats from the house bill it will be neces- sary to explain to the democratic conferees on the part of the house the motives for, and this can be done much more con- veniently and safely without the presence of republicans. In the secret conference of partisans the senate democrats will have a much better chance of persuading the house democrats to accept what the former have done, tainted though much of it fs with a strong suspicion of corruption and jobbery, than If the republican members of the committeo were allowed to partici- pate in the sessions. Left to themselves the democrats of the committee will doubtless be able to “get together,” while the presence of republicans might seriously interfere with their reaching conclusions among themselves. But if they imagine that the country does not understand the motive for their course they are greatly mistaken. It is perfectly plain that this unprecedented proceeding of excluding from the sessions of the confe: ence committee the minority conferees, which Senator Hale declares to be in contra- vention of the law, s in effect a confes- sion that there Is something which the majority desire to conceal, that there are matters for consideration which it would not be safe, from a party point of view, to consider in the presence of republicans. It there was nothing dishomest, nothing scandalous, nothing to be ashamed of in connection with the framing of the tarift bill, what valid reason could be urged for not admitting the minority to the sessions of the committee from the beginning? The true motive of the democrats in this mat- ter is perfectly clear, and the country will not fail to understand it. r ac- desire Ives meet the democrats meetings They are de- con- will senate amendments gone over in have regu- that this will insist imed democrats. not do ns. The proposition to arrange for an electric lighting contract for the period lmmediately succeeding the expiration of the present temporary agreement seems to have fallen into innocuous desuetude. It will bo rein- troduced to the public, however, before the election next fall, and will probably be held as a club over the heads of councllmen seck- ing renomination and re-election. The electric lighting question is bound to cut a considerable figure in the coming contest for councilmanic places. Whoop, I'm & Terror!

The judge is the Lancaster coufity candidate for congress and the county convéntion gave him the privilege of namiug the delegafes to the congressional convention. Lancaster has fifty-one delegates, and it requires but sev- enty-two to nomipate, Hence the judge thinks his chances are, very good for pick- ing the plum. Cass county's twenty-one votes added to Lancaster’s is just enough to elect. Chapman will undoubtedly be the first choice In this county, while Howe and Watson will of cowrse~have their delegations. The contest bids fair to be a hot one, but as the material is all o good republicans will be satisfied no 'matter who gets the nomination. Falls City Journal: While other counties in Nebraska have been urging a place on the state ticket for a favorite son, old re- llable Richardson county has modestly re- mained silent in demanding her rightful share on the republican state ticket during the next campaign. With her prominence as an agricultural and commercial factor in the state, and her important political factor in the republican party of the state, and with her abundant political timber, she gracefully demands attention while present- ing one of her best and most popular clti- zens to the conslderation of the coming state convention. At the request of many citizens, who feel that thls county has a right to demand recognition on the ticket, our present county treasurer, George W. Marsh, has consented to enter the field for the office of commissioner of public lands and buildings. The ability and integrity of Mr. Marsh are not questioned by his re- motest political opponent, and his great popularity is attested by the surprising ma- Jority over fu:ion last fall, in his re-election to office defeating by the largest majority on tho ticket one of the strongest men the opposition could produce. He has served in the office of county clerk four years, Is well known in the county and over the state, and in asking for this. office Richardson county Is proud of her candidate and feels justified in her demands. e NEBRASKA AND NEBRASKANS, M.

This characteristically British method of fomenting disorder in frontier districts in order that the boundaries of the empir may be extended under cover of the dis turbances may answer very well in Asla or Africa. — The feeble commonwealths of South America, however, are under the protection of the Monroe doctrine. The refusal of Great Britain to accede to the repeated requests from Venczuela that the disputed boundary be settled by arbitration does not seem to be justifiable, and is most unreasonable in view of the fact that there is an agreenient between the two govern- ments that neither shall occupy territory that 1s claimed by both. This agreement, while it has effectively kept Venezuela out of the districts claimed by Great Britain, has not prevented the latter government from occupying any part of the d sputed territory that seemed to be worth the tak- ing. The ownership of the Orinoco ¢ Ita should be settled in order that complica~ tions may be avoided which might become graver as the resources and commercial importance of the region should become greater, v The annual report of the British registrar general, just Issued, has some resting facts about London. The area of the me- tropolis s declared to be 121 square miles, equal to a square of eleven miles to the side: and on each square mile of this area, on an average, about 87,000 persons live. In diffe- rent parts the density of population shows remarkable varfations. The districts with the lowest densities are Lewisham, Waool- wich, Wandsworth and Hampstead, all with less than thirty persons per acre; while there were 175 persons per acre in Holborn, 151 in inte St. Saviour, Southwark, 188 1n St. Ge in-the-East, 191 in Shoreditch, and 1 Whitechapel. The marrlages of 73,942 per- sons were solemnized in London during 1593, the proportion to the population showing a slight further decline from that recorded in recent years. 'The births registered num bered 132,975, being equal to a proportion of 31.0 per 1,000 of the estimated population this rate is Identical with that of the pre- ceding year, which, with one exception, was the lowest birth-rate on record. The natu- ral increase of the population during the year, or the excess of births over deaths, was 11,420, and almost corresponded with the es timated increase, which w The deaths registercd In 1893 were 91,536 and cor- responded to an annual rate of 21.3 per 1,000 persons living. This death-rate exceeded the average rate in the preceding ten years, owlng to the fatal prevalence of influenz With regard to the area of greater London, estimated to contain a population of nearly 6,000,000 persons, the rate of mortality during 1893 'was equal to 19.7 per 1,000. The death rate differs greatly in the constituent parts of Inner, or registration Loudon, and the outer ring. In the former, as already stated, it was 213 per 1,000, while In the latter it Qid not exceod 15.4, that is to say, among equal numbers living, to every 100 deaths recorded in outer London there were 138 deaths in inner London. strike probably would have been over by this time and trains would have been moving freely as usual. Why this action was post- poned to this time is something that the people do not understand. Chicago Dispatch: Union labor in this trial must protect its interests in the courts by placing at the disposal of President Debs the ablest legal counsel obtainable. It may as well be understood at the outset that the trusts will leave no stone unturned to secure a conviction. Thousands of eyes will watch every phase of the trial, however, and popu- lar sentiment will Insist that fair play shal prevail. Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin: Eugene V. Debs and the other strike leaders who were arrested at Chicago are entitled to a fair trial. It they cannot be proven guilty of the offense charged against them they will be acquitted. The fact that they were arrested, just as any other citizens would be if similar indictments were found against them, and that the arrests provoked no tumult, shows that even in Chicago the iaw is supreme. Chicago Record: The determination of Mr. Debs' legal position by a trial in the courts has been foreseen from the start, his arrest merely bringing the case into a le phase which Mr. Debs himself has antici- pated and has evidently been willing to meet. He, at least, scems to be confident of the integrity of his own actions, and with this view he may even regard his pending trial as establishing precedent for future labor leaders who may follow him. Chicago Post: It Is lamentable at this crisis that the belief exists among the most conservative, thrifty and law-abiding work- ingmen in Chicago that the processes of the have been invoked for the purpose of court crushing the strike and possibly of breaking up labor organizations. It has been asserted in the unions that the court is hostile and that the prosecutors are not the United States, as they should be, but an association of corporations bent on overawing their em- ployes. It would be unfortunate if this impression should be deepened. ————— Specimens of Military Lawlessnoss. Chicago Dispateh. Private Willlam J.
