The first official act of the junior sena- tor from Nebraska, v his eredentials shall have been presented and duly ac- cepted, will be to apply for the best seat on the floor of the senate that has not alrendy been reserved for some earlier applicant. The business men of Omaha will have plenty to do in preparation for the next state fair. They will be expected to make exhibits that will be ereditable to (hemselves and to the city. They will also be expected to do what they can to advertise the fair and to attract vis- ftors from outside. They can do a great deal toward making it a success and they can be relied upon to do it.

In his carefully prepared addross be- fore the legislature Senator-clect Thurs- ton ventured to enunciate his views upon nearly all the issues of national concern and outlined the policy which in his judgment congress and the na- tional executive should pursue in deal- ing with the grave problems with which the country Is confronted, Inasmuch as Mr. Thurston is now about to step into the national arena, | nis declarations before the legislature | | ean not fail to attract attention id are properly subjeet to comment and eriti- Some of these declarations are in necord with those expressed in the platforms of the republican party, while at variance with the party and with public senti- within the party Mr, declaration that no peo- froe until every indi- vidual has the fullest and fairest spportunity to exercise his privilege of citizenship and to cast his ballot as his conse dictates strikes the keynote of true republicanism and must com- mend itself to every patriotic citizen others are s ple are e who desires to preserve our free insti- | tutions under a republican form of gov- qualifies his declaration by pledging to dedicate himself so long as God gives him life and voice to the support of the mstitutional amendments which guar- mtee the rights and privileges of Amer- fean citizenship. Those amcndiments relate to the enfranchised negro and his gt of American eitizenship, How yout the white man in political bond- age? How was it when the president ( one of the great railvoads declined to nt permission to delegates to publican convention to cast their votes as their dictated and as their const’tuents had a right to ex them to vote? This happened in the year 1803 in the state of Nebraska, and not in Mississippi, Alabama or South Carolina. What is the use of a free bhallot for the sovereign voter if his representatives in convention and in le; ature are trammeled in the dis- charge of their saered obligation to vote in accordance with their pledges to the people who elect them? Mr. conclustons about the chief cause of industrial depression will be concurred in by the great majority of republicans, but many are not as lhopeful as he is with regard to the marked increase of industrial activity and resumption of prosperity just as soon as the present congress adjourns without further taviff legislation. There are serious obstaeles to a resumption of prosperity, entirely outside of laws th will have to be overcome before we can hope for a permanent revival of good times. On the financial issues Mr. Thurston’s views and program are confusing. The proposition that all outstanding notes be made redeemable at the option of the treasurer in gold or silver whenever it becomes apparent that redemption Is Dbeing demanded for speculative purposes can never be earried into effect without serously impairing the national eredit. 1t would moreover be dangerous to con- fer such extraordinary powers of dis- crimination and favoritism upon the treasur The discretion to redeem in gold or silver would not repress specu- lation, but on the contrary open the way for collusion with speculators in case gold went to a premium. Mr. Thurston’s idea that we have pald the national debt off too fast is well founded, but the proposed funding of that debt for the sole purpose of secur- ing national bank circulation is open to discussion. His assertion that there can not be too much money in the country, if every dollar is backed up by ability of redemption, would counteract the national funding schem If the $700,000,000 of government bonds were converted into a basis for national bank notes the dollars could not all find a re- deemer in case of a panie, because the government bonds could not be con- verted into specie money on demand. There can not be too much money in the country if the word money repre- sents wealth. If money represents debt, and every paper dollar is merely a promise to pay—in other words a debt —then there can be too much money for the good of the country. Mr. Thurston's position on the sily question would puzzle and confound a Philadelphia lawyer, He de es that he does not admit that our present evils are the result of so-called silver demonetization, and then asserts: “I am isfied, however, that the demone- tization of one-half of the world's sup- ply of the ultimate money of redemp- tion was not for the best interests of the people of the world.” Now, If the first proposition be true the last proposition cortainly is baseless. And if the prem- sos of the last proposition are correct then the fi ertion is baseless. Mr, Thurston the climax of financial heresy by the following declaration: “My position upon the American sil- ver question has been thoroughly under- stood by the people of this state, and I accept my election by the united vote of the great vepublican majority in this legislature as an endorsement of my ante-election declaration in favor of the coinage of the American product of Id and silver into honest dollars.” My, Thurston is laboring under lusion. His position on the American silver question was not understood by the people of this state before the elec- tion, and is not understood now. No- | body ecan even guess from his utter- ances before and since the election Just what he does propose to do about silyer coinage. It is not true that his elee- tion was brought about even remotely by his position on the silver question, but rather in spite of his muddled yiews on that issue. Mr. Thurston's election was due to the overwhelming sentiment in favor of seuding a republican to the senate instead of a free trade and free silyer democrat or fiat money populist. It was expected by the rank and file of the party that Mr. Thurston, if elected senator, would place himself squarely on the republican platform on the ques- tion of currency and colnage, and we ke bold to assert that this is what Nebraska republicans expeet of him de- spite his peculiar notions about coining the American product. msciences de- Mr. Thurston bas frankly avowed Unfortunately Mr. Thurston | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1895 himself in favor of the Pacific rallrond debt funding scheme, but he promise to carry out the Instructions of the legislature on that question what- | is to be pre ever they might be.

Such an instruction, it Mr. Thurston's tip 1s well founded, should be directed to Senators Mander- son and Allen and the present delega- | tion in the lower house. The fact that the government directors, the attorney |seneral and President Cleveland — all agree fn favor of the funding scheme signifies nothing more than that the Pacific railroads exerelse an irresistible influence over these officials, Mr., Thurston’s position on the rela- tions of labor and capital, on strikes and arbiteation, wil be endorsed by conservative people of all cls His proposition for the creation of a depart- ment of labor that will coliect and com- pile statistics of labor ande industrial development is already forestalled by the labor and census bureaus, both of which have for years been engaged in the work mapped out by our senator- elect, 808, A CRITICAL CONDITION. The condition of the state treasury, as leseribed in Treasurer Bartley's report for the biennial period ending Novem- ber 30, 1894, demands the most serious and careful consideration of the mem- Dbers of the legislature now ip session. The receipts covered into the treasury for the past two y $4,408,- G13.58, which added to the balance of $1,181,085.03 on hand at the time of the provious report makes the total re- sources foot up $5,580,600.51. Of this money $4,468,312.17 was disbursed in accordance with appropriations, so that the balance on hand November 30 last was $1,121,387.34. The real meaning of these figures will Dbe better understood by a comparison with the corresponding figures found in the tr report for the preced- ing biennial period. The balance in the treasury November 30, 1800, was $1,509,248.20; the receipts to November 30, 1892, 82,876.11; the disburs ments, $4,401,038.88. The balance No- vember 30, 1892, was $1,181,085.93; the receipts to Nov , $4,108,- G13.58; the disbursements The balance November 30, 1804, was $1,121,387. In other words, since 1890 tlie disbursements have regularly Xceeded the revenues. During the last biennium they exceeded them by $59,- (98.59. The balance, which at the end of 1890 was over a milton and a half, has shrunk by over $400,000 on the face of the returns, and in reality by near $250,000 more. This balance reported by Treasurer Bartley is in a large de- gree fietitious, because to it is credited the $236,000 of Mosher's stealings from the state and §5,000 tied up in a failed state depository. Then, too, $215,000 temporary school money has already Dbeen apportioned to the counties, so that the actual money in the hands of the treasurer cannot be much more than $665,000. The statement of outstanding indebt- edness is no more reassuring. The total is $1,157,805.46. The $100,000 in relief bonds were duly authorized by the leg- islature acting in its constitutional pacity. But how about the other in- debtedness? The constitution is very explicit in saying that the peace debt of Nebraska shall never exceed in the ag- gregate $100,000. Yet we have §449,- 267.35 in funding bonds. And worse yet, $547,281.18 general fund warrants and §61,256.03 Tustitute for Feeble Minded warrants outstanding, and unpaid, and drawing 7 per cent interest, because drawn against funds in which there is no money to pay them. View the treasurer's statement from any standpoint and the figures ave by far from encouraging. Take into con- sideration the straitened circum- stances of a great number of our peo- ple, the general depreciation of prop- erty values of all kinds, the increasing difficulty with which eitizens are able to meet their taxes, and the sitnation is indeed critical. It should set an im- movable barrier against every project for expanding the functions of the state institutions and against every appro- priation of state money that is not abso- lutely necessary to tide the state goy- ernment over the next two years, The legislature has no more important duty than that of devising the means of re- storing the finances of the state to a normal condition. It cannot shirk this duty without- exposing the treasury to the danger of outright bankruptey, THE NEW PRESID Only two ballots were ary in the French National Assembly to elect a successor to M, Casimir-P’erier, but this does not indicate that the proceedings were devoid of excitement. They were, on the contrary, characterized by a num- ber of very exciting incidents, due to the demonstrations of the socialist ele- wment, which strongly manifested its hostility to existing institutions. While the soclalist leader cast his vote for one of the candidates for the presidency, M. Brisson, president of the Chamber of Deputies, other soclalists refused to yote and some cried, “Down with the presi- dency.” Thus the proceedings were marked by a great deal of tumult, plainly showing the lotense dissatisfac tion of the socialists and indicating that they will still be found a most trouble sowe element to deal with, The new president of France, M, Felix PPaure, has bad an extensive experience in public affairs, baving served in both legislative aud executive positions, He NTOF FRANCE. nec made | ministry, does not | was minister of*marine In the Dupny the gagresignation of which brought on thy olitieal crisis, and it n was in full sympathy with his collef®ufs in the cabinet.

Casimir:Perier. But, however this may Dbe, the election of M. Faure must be regaded as an endorsement by the Nationfl Assembly of the late government, so far at least as the issue between it and the Chamber of Deputie: it in its bearing upon the domestic politics of the republic in the immediate future, It hardly need be said that President Faure has a very difficult task before him. He will doubtless not find it an matter to construct a cabinet ac- ptable to the country or which will not be liable to come into conflict at once with the Parllament, and if he un- dertakes to continue the policy of his predecessor, which it is to he expected he will do in part at least, the troubles and perplexitios of the new adminis- tration will begin with its assumption of power. It cannot be assumed, the fore, that with the election of a new president the political crisis is at an end. The remains a great deal of dissatisfaction and the growing and ag- gressive list element rtor capable of making no lttle disturbance and troul The great question now to be dealt with is the constitutional one of the separation of powers, and there may be ral crises before this is settled.

The repub- licans in the senate certainly have no more in common with the democrats than with the populists. Unless they can organize and maintain their organ- ization without -entangicment with either of the other parties it will be bet- ter to wait two years until their major- ity is clear and unassailable. Walter Wellni hington cor- respondent of the Chicago Herald, is uthority for the statement that never in the history of that city has there been so much distress among the poor there as is found today. This is of course greatly to be deplored, but it goes to prove that the present unfor- tunate condition of the lower classes in many of our cities Is by no means local. Washington is really a southern city, sts there, it 50 to be found in other soutliern eitics. The act of poverty in the northern cities is quite generally known. The demand for charity fs pecullarly heavy this win- ter, and it is not confined to any one locality or group of localitics. Members of the legislature will like to come to Omaha if they always be re- ceived with the same cordiality as was the delegation that came up to attend the Thurston reception. They were lionized almost as much as the guest of honor and they seemed to enjoy the novelty. It is to be hoped that this taste of Omaha hospitality will induce them to come oftener and remain longer. An Explanation that Explains. Chicago Tribune.

It must have caused a cold shoot up and down the backs of 1 zeal- ous Nebraskans to read in the dispatches of Saturday that the lowa State Board of Agriculture had just decided to cut off all passes to the fair except badges to news- paper men, whom, the board decided, do encugh work for the fair to entitle them to that much recognition. No compli- mentary tickets of any kind, says this in- teresting dispatch, will be lssued, and it will be a sheer waste of time for any one to apply for any. Iliven exhibitors are re- quired to purch: exhibitors' tickets, good for five admissions each, at the time of making their entries.

It is the experience of those conversant with ir management that the pnss system is overdone in this state, although were not so many issued last year as in years previous. It has been the custom in Nebraska to lssue passes to about every one of prominence who cared to have them, and it s a fact that they did not always go to the people who deserved or needed them most. The tendency in_the man- agement of the 0ost successful modern fairs is to do away with the pass system, and it is hoped that the day is not far distant when they will be a thing of the past in Nebraska. — - Women Moro Honest Than Men.
