This is probably net the only leak in the paying of city bills. If the retrenchment talk results in nothing more than a little extra vigi- lance on the part of the city officials it will not have been altogether in vain. The populist members of congress evi- dently got wind of the threatened address by their free silver democratic associates and by taking time by the forelock have stolen a little march and issued an address of their own first. The populist manifesto is good free sil- ver literature, but it Is not the precise kind that the democratle congressmen would like to subseribe to. The committees which have just been making a tour of the state institutions are reported to be on the whole un- favorably disposed toward proposed ap- propriations for new buildings. It is to be hoved that this report will prove correct. The state is not in a condition to spend a single dollar on any state in. stitution that is not ab olutely ncesssary to maintain it in a reasonable standard of efliciency. Additions and new build- ings are simply out of the question. Retrenchment must be carried from the bottom to the top. The secretary of the treasury ought to be in high esteem with the officials of the ocean steanship compaules. His financial policy has Drought them a most profitable business. The secretary has built up the surplus to be draiued away to Burope little by little, each shipment netting the carrying vessel a neat sum in the way of carriage charges. Now the conditions of the new bond is- sue are that at least one-half the gold received in payment shall be drawn from abroad, and the same ships will be kept busy for some time bringing back the exported gold at very remunerativi rates. This cannot well be kept up in- definitely, but the steamship companies are making hay while the sun shines, THE NATION'S STRONGHOLD. The speech of ex-Speaker Reed in the house of representatives on Thursday was an earnest plea for the conserva tion of the national eredit. He begun by deprecating the spirit of sectionalism which had marked the ntterances of the | leader of the opposition to the proposal | to make the new issue of the bonds of the government payable in gold, and what he said in this regard ought to be taken into serfous consideration by the people of the whole country. The talk of a nnion between the south and the west against the other sections of the country should be reprobated by every citizen who has the least patriotic feel- ing. Its tendency is to the last degree mischievous, and if its advocates could | have their way the consequences would | be disastrous. But as was said by Mr., Reed, the doctrine of a union of the south and west has been a failure and always will be a failure. He declared that not only do the people of the east sond their property west, but their chil- dren “and no man who from cast to west 1 to be struc by the fact that there is after all a unity of sentiment between the two sections of the country that no language will ever blot out or destroy.” Whoever shall at- tempt to destroy this unity of senti- ment puts himself in a position to de corve the contempt, if not the exec tion, of hisg fellow countrymen. In declaring that “a nation's credit is its stronghold” Mr. Reed stated an im- pregnable proposition. Whatever may happen the fmportant thing is to pre serve the credit of the nation, and if that be done a people can recover from aH other dis or - quarter of a century the United States has enjoyed the highest credit in its history. Until |now its securities sinee resumption have stood as well in the market as those of any other nation, and when it Decame necessary to sell honds a year ago they found ready takers upon terms as favorable as 1t would have heen possible for any other government to negotiate a loan. But today the credit of the government secms to he impaived. Those who are willing to loan it money are not isfied to do so upon the same terms at which it v formerly able to borrow. The agrec- ment of the government to pay in coin has heretofore D accopted as a pledge to pay in gold, but this confi- dence, it appears, no exists, The who have £6ld to lend demand that the government shall specifically contract to repay gold or that they shall receive a liberal consideration for the risk of having to accept payment in something else than gold. ey re- quive a difference of 23 per cent in the interest rate, as between fixed gold and contingent silver pnyment. It is useless to argue that in this mat- ter the foreign and dowestic bankers have taken advantage of the necessiti of the government. Admit that they have, it still remains an affair of prac tical busine 1f there were no silver question the government could borrow at home or abroad at 3 per cent, and probably less. But that question is still being agitated, and however remote the danger of the free silver policy prevail- ing, it is only natural that the possibility of its ultimate adoption should be taken into account by those who give gold for the bonds of the government. The evi- denee is that considerations respecting the nation's credit do not have any welght with the advoeates of silver They are prepared to see this impaired to any extent rather than surrender a single point of their policy. also, crosses sters, I Tonger THE USURPATION IN TENNESSEE. There is not a reasonable doubt that Henry Clay Evans, the republican can- for governor of Tenuessee at the election last November, was elected. This was clearly shown on the face of the returns as officially canvassed, and it has been admitted by some of the most prominent democrats and democratic newspapers in the state, But o clrim of fraud in the returns was trumped up by the demoerats, and the legislature of the state, being in control of that party, Mr. Turney, the democratic candidate for governor, was seated, despite the ear- nest protests of the republicans that the constitution of the state was thus outraged. On February 6 Mr, Lyans took the onth of office as governor, in order to support and sustain the repub- lican position, and on the same the legislature appointed an investigat- ing committee. Of course this commit- tee 1s composed mainly of democrats and these presumably friends of the usurping governor, but so confident ar the republicans that their cause is just that they expect to be able to convince even their opponents that the repub- lican candidate was fairly elected and ought to take the office. A few days ago Mr. Evans filed his answer to the petition of Governor Tur- ney in the election contest, making out a strong ease, The denials of the dem- ocratic_allegations of fraud on the part of the republicans are of a nature to earry convietion, and especially vig ous and striking is the refutation of the charge that Eyans encouraged vio- lation of the election laws. Referring to this answer, the Chattanooga Daily Times, & democratic paper, which sup- vorted Turney, declares it to be thor- oughly exhaustive, and says: “We be- lieve, and we have done what we could to sustain that belief, that Mr, Evans was fairly elected by a majority of the voters of the state, and that under the titution he entitled to be seated. The laws were not made for democrats any more than they were made for republicans, and as an hon- est newspaper, representing a fair- minded, honest constituency, we could not indorse the revolutionary proceed- ings adopted by the majority of the legislature to deprive Mr. Byvans of his constitutional right” Other democratic papers talk in a similar way. The course of Mr. Evans and the re- publicans generally has been such as to command universal comwmendation. There has been no demonstration or threat on their part of a revolutionary nature, but every step taken has been in divect accordance with the rights guaranteed by the constitution, My, Evans could wot have done less than | be has done, as the Chattanooga Times con | became an indispensabl jof the league says, without having surrendered his manhood and his rights as an American citizen. No clearer case of usurpa tion of office has Deen known in our history than that of the seating of Peter Turney as governor of Tennessee, In order to do this it was necessary not only to disregard the elec- tion returns, but also to override the constitution and the laws. The course pursued is a reproach to the Tennessee democracy, and while it has given the party a present advantage cannot fail to operate to its future injury. The appointment of John . Powers as commissioner of labor will be a keen disappointment to organized labor in general and workingmen of the populist persuasion in parficnlar. The position of labor commissioner may have been created ag a sinecure, hut its scope of usefulne might have been extended and enlarged from year to year until it adjunct of the executive department, The labor com- missioner should by rights come from the ranks of lnbor and be in close fel lowship with workingmen, He should be a man whose training in the ranks of the toilers in mill or factory should make him conversant and proficient in dealing with the labor problem from the ieal standpoint. He should be in tion to represent the labor interest in controversics between employers and wage workers, and wherever possible bring about concilintion through arbi- tration. All these qualities Mr., Powers lncks lamentably. He is an honest man and a man who has the courage of his con victions, which are often quite eccer tric, but he has no conception of tl feelings, sentiments and grievances of the men who toil in shops and factories, and that is why he only received 1,200 votes for governor in Douglas county in 1800, where there were more than 10,000 shopmen with votes to give to the candidate of their choice. My, Powers doubtless has earned a position at the hands of his party, but as labor commissioner he will be a round peg in a square hole. His appointment is a blunder from th ndpoint of reform, and more than a blunder as an invest- ment in populist futures.

The prospectus of the league dvocates the adontion of a reasonable cense law, such as has proven so suc- cessful and satisfactory in Nebra and other states in the union. Judged by the temper of the people of Towa as shown in recent elections, there can be but little doubt that the statistics and arguments which are at the command will ve telling effect uvon the voters of that state. With the example which Nebraska presents of the efficacy and wisdom of a license stem the league ought to be able to convinee the majority of the errors of the t and that the time is ripe for a veversal of policy with respect to the liguor traflie. state, The Chicago Record malkes a compari- son of the defaleations of the late treas urer of Illinois and the absconding treasurer of South Dakotn. It ealls at- tention to the fact that by a curious co- incidence the amount of public money taken is in the one case but a few hun- dred dollars more than in the other. Both the state trensurers enjoyed gen- eral confidence and respect during most of the time of their peculations. In both cases the money seems to have been frittered away in follies of specula- tion and reckless enditure. There is one important difference, however, that should not be overlooked. That is the attitude of the bondsmen toward the public whom the had’ guaranteed against loss by the faithless officials. In Ilinois the bondsmen made good the defaleation promptly and without ado. In South Dakota it is doubtful whether the bondsmen are good for the amounts for which they .had alified in the bond and they are taking advantage of every loophole and straining every legal technieality to escape liability. The people of Tllinois are not affected by the dishonesty of their late state treasurer, while the people of South Dakota have good prospects of bearing the greater part of the loss themselye: ecretary of State Allen is trying dispute the claim of Governor rounse that the more economical ad- ministration of the state institutions during the last two years is due to the efforts of the governor in that direction, Mr. Allen iusists that whatever saving has been effected by better methods of management arises exclusively from devotion of the various state hoveds to their duties, and the eredit for this he modestly takes upon himself. This is of course a question for Mr. Allen to settle with ex-Governor Crounse, But taking into consideration the whole ofli- cial eareer of the last secretary of state and more particularly his outrageous waste of money on legislative supplies Just previous to his exit from office, the people will want something more than My, Allen’s word to convince them of the great obligation to him under which they rest.

On this point we concede there is very grave doubt of the practicability of the project. An auditorium on the fair grounds would be almost entirely out of reach during one-half of the year, and it ne would be of easy aceess except during the fair. To in- sure its suce it must be centrally located, at some point where all the street railway lines converge. The trouble with the Coliseum has Dbeen that it is not to be reached except by one line of street cars, and being way out of the population center is within casy walking distance for comparatively fow people.

Lord Rosebery seems determined to hold on to that part of hi program which proposes the disestablishment of the church in Wales In this matter there is undoubledly a very strong force of public sentiment behind the government, but since the opening of the question there has been a change in the char- acter of that sentiment. Although the church in Wales is almost certain (o be disestablished, there 19 a feeling in soma quarters that it should not be disendowed. Some cf Its most influential members have prepared a new bill, which is gaid to be satisfactory to dissentors Its chief features are disestablishment with out disendowment, a fairer distribution of ex- Isting endowments, the grant to the laity of a larger share in church management, and the erection of Wales Into an independent ecclesiastical province, under its own arch- bishop. Such a measure is in the line of re- form, while it is also a concession to the na- tional spirit, which is nowhere stronger in any part of the United Kingdom than it is in Wales. It would be strange it Welsh non- conformists should protest against disendow- ment, and it would be curious to watch the attitude of the English nonconformists on the question. Lord Rosebery has already had a taste of their oppositis Although barely ten years have elapsed since Germany set about the national work of colony building, her progress in this re- spect has been altogether phenomenal. The Teuton flag floats over territory surpassing five times in superficies that of the Father- land, and the growth of that colonial ¢ pire which Prince Bismarck inaugurated 1884 n only be compared to that Jonah's gourd. It remains to be whether this estonishing development will prove ephemeral or lasting. One significant fact, however, Is that after thig experience of fen years the Germans are as united in their belief as to the wisdom of possessing colonies and their valug as they were at the outset. This s all the more noteworthy since not one of these dependencies has as yet begun to pay its way, but still continues a serious charge upon the imperial ex- chequer. Nor are the colonies as yet of any great account commercially, since the gross value of imports and exports of the German possessions in Africa does not exceed $8,000,000 per annum. Neither can the colo- nies be considered of much Importance to any as a home for her surplus popula- since, according to the official statistics issued at Berlin, the total number cf German subjects in German colonies after ten years of colonizing does not exceed 2,000; is . to ¥, not s0o many as sometimes New York in the space of one weck from Bremen and Hamburg. Far from being discouraged, the imperial government is displaying much encrgy and foresight in establishing steamers to Asla, Amer- ica and Au ing German influ- ence felt in where a few years ago it was an unknown quantity, and is, more- over, taking the lead of all Huropean powers in the construction of railronds into the in- terior of Africa. This is the key to the devel- opment of the Dark Continent, and Germany deserves the good will and gratitude of trade and commerce throughout the world. in of seen At a recent meeting of the Charity Organiza- tion society in Londcn, Mr. C. S. Loch read statistic to prove that there has been a steady decrease of pauperism in England dur- ing the last forty years. According to his fig- ures, in 1851 the pauperism amounted to 4 per cent of the population, in 1891 to 2 per cent. During the same period the pauperism of old age (perscns over 60) decreased from 215 to T per cent. The cost of maintain- ing the paupers, it appears, varles generally with the price of wheat. The cost per head was greatest in 1872 (7s %d); it then fell to about 6s, and has not decreased since. Vagrancy, on the other hand, which before 1872 had increased and decreased with the tis0 and fall in pauperism, since 1872 has in- creased greatly in spite of the decrease of pauperism. In Shropshire and Huntingdon- shire pauperism has diminished 53 and 66 per cent respectively. London, like Lancashire, can only show a decrease of 3 per cent since 1861 The numbers are 98,400 and 95,300. Mr. Loch coneluded h's statistics by showing that between 1881 and 1891 the volume of pauperism throughout the country dimin- ished “probably by about 140,000 in a single year.”” ~ “The’ policy of restricted relief to the able-bodied, coupled with marked economic progress, has produced,” he says, ‘“‘an astonishing improvement in the independ- ence and self-relance of the people.” vor There is at present before the German Reichstag a bill for the reform of criminal procedure which Is meeting with much oppo- sition from many of the most eminent lawyers In the country. Judge Asherott, well known in this country and Great Britain as an authority on English law, has drawn up an alternative scheme which has received the support of many leaders of the German bar. It provides for the substitution of judges for jurles in many cases, the refer- ence of petty offenses to minor courts, the declaration of the cause of arrest in every warrant, the protection of prisoners’ rights, and the simplification of rules of procedure. The fundamental features of the proposed re- forms include the participation of non-pro- fessional judges in the work of all penal courts and an increase in the number of cases com- ing under the jurisdiction of the district courts. Another important point is the aboli- tion of the power of Indictment upon the mere issuing of a resolution to open proceed- ings. Instead of two grounds of arrest stated in the present regulations for procedure in criminal cases, Dr. Asherott suggests that it shouldsbe left entirely to the consclentious discretion of the judge to decide whether, in case of strong suspicion of a ¢ grave misdemeanor, arrest is necessary with a view to the proper carrying out of the crim- inal procedure; and points out that in England this has long been an uncontested rule. An- other point upon which he insists is that more care should be exercised in preliminary pro- ceedings, in which, under the present sys- tem, personal rights are often practically dis- regarded, o Princo Assin-of Bgypt, who has been per- mitted by Queen Victoria to join the Seventh Hussars at Bombay, where he will have as one of his fellow officers young Prince Alex- ander of Teck, is the same prince who about a year ago created such a scandal at Berlin by deserting from thé regiment in which he was serving and taking to flight in order to escape the execution of a warrant for his arrest as a fugitive and a fraudulent debtor. Emperor William, after baving in vain re- monstrated with him on the score of his extravagance, showed neither consideration nor mercy to him or to his relatives when the crash came, for he permitted the official gozette of the empire to publish the notifica- tion of his dismissal from the German army and likewise a summons to appear before the tribunals of the Prussian metropolis, in order to submit to examination with regard to a number of promissory notes, upon which d raised money and which had been dishonored, It was the first time that a notification of this kind had ever been pub- lished concerning a prince of a reigning fam- ily in any official paper, and it may be imag- ined that the matter created much commotion Burope. Prince Assin's mother has since paid off those creditors who were in & position to make legal trouble for her son, those who were mot able to institute criminal proceedings being left out in the old, Prince Assin is a son of that Prince Hassan of Egypt who commanded the Egyp- tian contingent during the war with Turkey ge number of American officers under bis ers in the last Egyptian war with Abyssinia, ——— A Shot at the LL GlobesDemocrat.

St. Paunl Republican: Were it any one but Rosewater who made the charges the julge and his friends might have cause for alarm, but with the members of the present legisla- ture the joss' enmity is equivalent to a pretty good recommendation, Silver Creek Times: Scott is a disgrace to the Nebraska judiciary and a disgrace to the state. Tt Is surprising that he should have been so long tolerated. He should be im- peached at once and ignominiously fired out of office to stay. We have already had enough and too much of his bulldozing and of his acts of tyranny. Lincoln News: It s to be regretted that the fact that Rosewater is his enemy ean be utilized for the protection of Judge Scott of Omaha in his scandalous abuso of authority. His carcer as a judge of the district court has been disgraceful in the extreme, and to tolerate such insane assumptions of authority and abuses of power is to endanger the Hbert of every man and woman within his Juri diction, and a_good many who are not la fully so. Nothing could so effectively bring courts into contempt and disrepute as to have such judical outrages as he has perpe- trated, and bids fair to continue perpetrating, ®> unrebuked. There can be no patriotism in seeking to continue such an unrea able Judicial tyrant in office, and if he were not an avowed enemy of Rosewater he would not be tolerated for a moment. Rosewater’ antipathy ought not to serve to keep him in office if there is any power that can remove him. Tt will dignify the bench to have him summarily fired, and the legislature ought to forget Rosewater long enough to render the bar, the bench and the state this significant service, Tekamah Burtoniar ment proceedings a has naturall Burt county 1892, This term of court was a continuous exhibition of Il temper, ignorance and ruffianism on the part of the judge.

Peterson $100 and costs becaus Mr. Peterson was not ready to try a case. Mr. Peterson was committed to jail, but re. leased a few moments later upon a writ of habeas corpus issued by County Judge C.

The outcome of his actions in Burt county was that the attorneys refused to appear ‘before him, the court was ad- journed and in disgrace he left with the understanding that he weuld never return to preside as judge in this count His career has at last brought him face to face with impeachment proceedings, which le is stren- uously trying to thwart. The lawyers of Burt county contemplate a meeting for the purpose of urging his Impeachment. They regard his removal as necessary to cleanse the judiciary and the legal profession of the stain he has put upon it. His history, as it appeared in The Bee last Sunday, portraye from rt to finish the same Scott as pre- sided over the district court of Burt county in the fall of 1892, A recent effort to pluce himself under the protection of the A P. A, promises to result in an expose that will make his predicament worse, Some of the members of that honorable organization have publicly disclaimed all knowledge of its sympathy for him, while others, who are well acquainted with the Judge, say they can read between the lines of the petition purporting to come from the A. P. A. and sent to the legislature, and that the judge himself was the writer and instigator of the whole thing. Burt County Herald: Tho Bee of Sunday gave a full page to the history of Judge Scott. It is a pity that his history could not have been known prier to his election and the dis- graceful proceedings and injustices done in his court would never have occurred. It Is quite probable that impeachment procecdings will be instituted against him. In anticipa- tion of this he or some of his friends have issued a circular to the people of this district endeavoring to hide the real issue in a tirade against Edward Rosewater. This circular purports to come from the American Protec- tive association. Tho Herald can speak from tho experience of Burt county with this er- ratic judge and gay that it believes Scott and his henchmen will find some one besides Ed- ward Rosewater back of tmpeachment pro- ceedings should they be started. The people of this district are tired of a clown and cir- cus court and the general feeling scems to be that life and property are unsafe in his hands. Tt was here that Scott put his tragic comedy first on the boards. ¥e seemed to he possessed of the idea that all that was neces- sary to make himself popular with the masses was to roast tho attorneys, which he at- tempted to do by grand stand plays to the audienco in the court room. He was, how- ever, quickly checkmated by the Burt county bar, who brought charges of insanity against him, and he was citel to appear betore the commissioners of fnsanity for examination. Court adjourned shortly afterwards and the bar of the Fourth district appointed a com- mitteo to investigate the case. They met here and took considerable testimony and the necessary action was about to be taken to instituto impeachment proceedings when At- torney Wharton, as counsel for Scott, made overtures to the Burt county bar, agreeing that if they would let the matter Test Scott would- not"come back again, and he never did. Many here still think that the diagnosis of the Scott malady by the Burt county bar was nearly correct and his examination at that time before the commissioners of insan- ity should have been insisted upon. pcigpl i s A Kick from Lincoln, Lincoln Daily News, The directors of the Burlington railroad company have elected Senator Manderson to succeed the late T. M. Marquett as general The talk of impeach- ainst Judge C. R. Scott revived the record he made in s district judge in the fall of § solictor of the road In Nebraska. The senator has accepted the office, the proffer of which was made some six weeks ago, although he indignantly denled any such thing only & few days since. Just what actuated the di rectors in making the selection s not know Mr. Deweese is a much better lawyer and Is more in touch with western interests than Manderson, and to pass over his cla'ms to the succession and pick up Manderson will not impress those who know hoth with the wisdom of the raflroad officials, If Manderson selected becanse of any supposed political fn- fluence he possesses In N braska a still greater mistake has been made. His influcnce here 18 nil, and if he had had the temerity to have tried for re-clection as senator this winter he would not have secured a corporal's guard of supporters. The assumption that perhaps the railronds needed moro senators to vote for the pooling bill, which legalizes trusts for the purpose of ralsing rates, may not be 5o very violent, however, as at first thought. - T0 4 POINT. ron " WHITTLE. “Yos," arked the cal venture was a succ st for the villain and made a gr o at hit.'” 'a Observer: There Is nothing ctive to a man with the than a picture of a handsome teeth, more toothache set of store Philadelphia Record you two men using Buage? wson me an' has words fu D overconts Old Lady—Why are such frightful lan- Tatt Well, 1a to_exchange heatd warm, not havin' no me Indianapolls Journal: “I see,” remarke Mr. Dismal Dawson, “that a feller down in " Massachusetts has — drank = thirteen 8l of booze on a bet and it kilt_him." “No won ald Mr. Everett Wrest. “Thirteen i e hoodoo.
