The prospec that the next congress will have a president on its hands. ts are Might as well try to catch gamblers with glue as to catch them by means of Omaha detectives. Omaha is still in the dark as to the price it is supposed to be paying for its electric lighting nowadays. * Senator Poffer's of the last gress may be equalled only by the opinion of Senator Peffer held by the lust congress opinion cin- Who dares doubt that Tom Majors will be the best governor Nebraska has ever had. He himself hath said it, and he has a very modest estimate of himself, you know. Of course, the s of the New York tailors’ strike is due solely and exclusively to the effects of the new tariff law. If you don’t believe it consult any of the cuckoo democratic press. ess Keep your eye on Pat O. Hawes when he rises to the sublime height of his campaign eulogy of Tattooed Tom. He is liable to fall over a chair or under a table and bump the back of his head. If every one else connected with the democratic administration disregards the civil service law and takes care of his relatives with federal appointments, why shouldn't Secretary Morton, too? There are grounds for the belfef that the Northern Pacific is not the only baakrupt railroad for which a considerable amount of money can be saved by abolishing the re- celvers who are drawing fat fees for the ad- ministration of tributary branch lines. ‘ We havn't heard anything very recently about the electrolysis of water mains and gas pipes in the strects of Omaha. Can it be that the elevation of so many political lightning rods has drawn off all the truant electricity? We may have hit upon the remedy unaware Once upon a time, not many years ago, a prominent candidate in this county made an exhibition of himself in the convention by dramatically stamping on a copy of The Bee 1o show his defiance and contempt for the paper and its opposition. Kis experience would not probably justify him in doing so again. Phil Winter, who himself as a candidate for county attorney, predicted at the meeting of the First Ward club last night that The Bee would have something to say about boodlerism in today's announces issue. _ Phil reminds us very much of the boy that exclaimed, bef-re he was accused: “I didn't steal that a Governor Fishback of Arkansas thinks that the bist mothod which the visiting commit- tee of Englishmen can adopt to accomplish thelr object of discouraging lynching in the south s to turn around and go home. We might suggest that the way to per- suade the committee to go home is to give them assurance that the people of the south- ern states are not only able but determined to put a stop to lynching thems:lves. easiest No Nebraska city is making year to secure the ment of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie. This does not mean, however, that Ne- braska is not interested in the location of tae nmext meeting place. The national campment, If maintained in its present character, should be made as accessible as possible to the whole ) velerans. This consideration, rather than the amount of money which any city may offer as a sub. should have the predominant influence, —————— an effort this next natlonal encamp- en- hodv From the list of objections to one of the senatorial candidates in by the Chicago Herald we take it that the people of that state very particular as to thelr representatives in the senate.

There are a great many workingmen and people of moderate meaas compelled to pay two fares 10 reach their work, when one fare cught to suffice, Other cities require only gen- eral transfers, but also commutation tickets at reduced rates, and some of them are even beginning to talk of an open 4-cent fare. An improved transfer system on the Omaha street raillway lines can not be much longer delayed. not WHEN HE GETS T0O BE GOVERNOR. For the past two weeks Thomas J. Majors has been prancing around Omaha from ward to ward solieiting support. His speeches consist of First, his own biography, highly colored with lurid war paint, and de- scriptive sketches of what Nebraska was when he landed on her soll, and what she has to be in the period of thirty 0dd years. Part second consists of the brazen assurance that he would be the best governor Nebraska ever had, and furthermor el by foregone conclusion. to lift himself into the governor's chalr by belittling all our governors from Burt to Saunders and Saunders to Crounse is en- dowed with more conceit and gall than any candidate that has ever presented himself for the suffrages of our people.

There appears to be a doubt in the mind of the secretary as to whether buunty ought to be paid on sugar produced beiore the new law went into effect, but he is per- fectly clear in the opinion that congress in- tended that no bounty should Le paid on sugar produced after the repeal of the bounty clause of the McKinley act. It is probable that this will have to be accopted as a fair interpretation of the ot congress, but it still leaves untouched the question whether the bounty earned whil the McKinley act in force should by paid, and this will doubtless have to be de termined by the courts. As undecstand it, this question is still under consi by the secretary of the treasury, but the probability is that it he shall conclude to render a decizion it will be against the claim of the sugar producers. It is apparent from the attitude of Secre- tary Carlisle, as showa in his letter to Sen- ator Caffery, that the sugar produccrs of the country need not hope for any favor from that* source, and therefore may as weil make up their minds first as last to what they believe to be their rights in the matter through (he courts. There is eminent legal opinion_ that the bounty is ecolicciable, at any rate o much of it as was earned before the repeal, and there secms 1o he no doubt that producers have a strong case. The position taken by Senator Blanchard of Louisiana, to which reference las heretoicre been made, that while as a l:gal projosi- tion the legislative power has a right fo withdraw the bounty for the futurs, Lounties earned cannot be withdrawn by the legisla- power, in support of cited authorities, 1, should be sustaimed by the conrts rs of the country would Le to extent of several million On the score of justice and equity, however, the bounty onght to be paid on the whole amount of sugar produced this year, because, undeniably, it was this induce- ment, regarded in the naturs of a contract on the part of the government, which 0 enlarged sugar plinting and adds outlay on the part of sugar producers. having complied with all the of the law, the government should deal fa.rly with The sugar producers pro- pose to push their claim in the courts, and they will doubtless have the ro-operation of the producers of beet sugir. to intention m was we leration seek ol tive hich he numerous to he and if it the sug benefited dollars se2ms sou led nal Ll requirzmen: them. ane LYNCHING.

They an kable expression of popular with economic policy of the democratic party and of want of confi- dence the ability of that party to legis- late wisely and justly with respect to the in- dustrics and the labor of the country. The people of Vermont and Maine have suffered . in commeon with those of the rest of the country, from the depression for which the democratie threat to overthrow the policy of prote largely responsible, and thelr interests will be adversely afected by the operation of the new tariff law. In Vermont the demoeratic loss was largest in the manufacturing towns, but all classes of producers contributed to the republican gains, because none of them will escape damage from the democratic tariff policy. It has exposed the farmers as well as the manu. facturers of these states to a damaging foreign competition. Under the republican tariff the industries of these states had ex- perienced expansion, labor was well employed and well paid, and business in all depart- ments was good. -All has been changed since the advent to power of the democratic party, and while it is possible that the worst has been expericnced, those who have suffered bhave felt it to be their duty to record their verdiet so that it will be at once a protest agalnst what has been done and a warning not to go further with the destructive policy. Especially significant are the largely in- creased majorities of the Maine republican representatives who particularly distin- guished themselves the tariff contest. The vote given ex-Speaker Reed is a splendid endorsement of the house republican leader of which he may justly feel proud. The influence of th will be felt on the campaigns in other states where, as already remarked, national questions are distinetively in issue, and In some of these states, it is safe to predict the results will even more decisively denote the popular hos- tility to the economic policy of the demo- cratic party than do those of Vermont and Maine. ote, are unmis dissatisfaction the severel, tion was in ese elections COUNTRY order BANKS. The recent the tary of the of secre- abolishing the custom of transter of small_notes to and south on depos- its of gold At the subtreasury in New York and also providing that the banks shall be permitied to exchange large notes of any Kind for small notes at their pleasure, is an order which is likely to give as much ais tisfaction to country bankers as It is giving satisfaction to the bankers of New York City. The latter, it is sald, received the news of the new dispensation with the exclamation that it was ‘“the first decent thing Secretary Carlisle had done for the banks since he has been in office,” the banks, of course, being used with reference to those only which are located within easy access of the subtreasury at New York. The real reason for this cannot be appreclated unless we look into the system which the new order supplants. Up to this time, the treasury has extended to such banks as would give it gold the spe- cial facilities which it enjoys for-the transfer of money to interior points. The government a contract with one of the express com- enables it to transmit notes at the uniform rate of 15 cents per $1,000, while | the rate to private shippers varies trom 40 5 cents per $1,000. A country bank hav- money with its New York would simply order the latter in gold with the receive small notes express at those mere Their ability to do this, those banks served by the | p which holds the government | contract, made it quite easy for them withdraw their New York deposits whenever desirable. The York banks always ob- Jected to this practice, and when recently there was a heavy call upon them for the de pos'ts of the country banks they refused to pay them in gold, as requested. The refusal created a dearth of small notes outside of New York, and also kept the treasury from getting the gold which it was accustomed to receive. At the same time, brought upon the secretary to abolish the rule requiring gold in exchange for such notes, to which pressure he has finally suc- umbed. The has a further significance | from a banking point of view, in that It tends to discourage the withdrawal of deposits from New York banks. The outside banks have long used New York as a place to in vest the money for which there was no prof- itable employment at home, thus creating a there that unduly depressed the money market in slack times.

The sen- ate and house having been at odds over the tariff bill, the arguments made in the two houses conflict, and the democratic reader is at a loss to decide upon the orthodoxy of the disputants. To complicate the sit- uation, the republicans will send out as a campaign document the president’s letter to Mr. Wilson scoring the senate bill which subsequently became a law.

The decision today is simply an official refusal on the part of the secretary to appoint sugar bounty fin- spectors and testers, and does not decide the other questions, although there seems lit- tle doubt that he will hold that he has no authority to pay bounties earned this year before the tariff bill went into effect. The aw si it shall be unlawful after the pas- sage of this act Lo pay such bounties, The only recourse left to the sugar growers for boun- tles earned would in that case be to sue In the court of claims sent ar, wi to rtain the to bl thereon act entitled and Equalize for Other Purposes | 1890, and have under ex no power the amount claimed reached and produ sugar or from United § repealed | to issue pay of and ny 1 bount ny kind “Whatever 1 retary actually 11, 1800, clearly | bounty after t of CUBAN DUTIES RESTORED. Stato Departm Termination WASHINGTON, Sept. Williams at Havana, under date of August 24, has sent a dispatch to Acting Secretary of State UNI, a copy of which was today sent to Secretary Carlisle, glving the translation of a telegram received on the day previous by the governor gemeral of Cuba from the minister of the colonles at Madrid, directing the latter to replace the duties on American products in that island and in Porto Rico as soon as the new tarill bill went into opera- tion. This fs the first officlal notification served on the Treasury department of the restoration of dutles by any country which was a party to the reciprocity agreement provided for by the McKinley law. The Associated press reports had hereto- tore stated that Spain had glven notice of the raise of Cuban duties. This action of the Spanish government will reimpose duties on many articles exported to Cuba from the United States, including meats, in bacon, banis, lard, tallow, fish, oats, starch, cotton sead oil, hay, fruits, woods of all Kinds, ag- ricultural implements, petroleum, ice, coal, ete,, and restores the reductions made on corn, wheat, flour, butler, ‘boots and shoes, lly Notifled of the procity Treaty. 11.—Consul General -$18 RNISH 1 and Douglas.
