But there are more ways than one to skin a cat. The question of penitentiary cruelty has only an indivect connection with the question of the penitentiary con- tract.

While the city council is sitting as a Board of Equalization it is the heavy taxpayers, or rather heavy tax shivker: who enter complaints and ask to their assessments cut down, Fhe g mass of small property owners who pay the bulk of the taxes have to rely on the assessor to deal faivly with them Each s concerned to only a small amount, but in the aggregate they con stitute the real majority of the tax payers, It is they who would be bene fited by the proposed reform in the assessment system and o single tax ecommissioner whose duty it would be to set bounds to the activity of the heavy tax shi Seed grain does not necessarily mean seed wheat.

One of the sections of the law passed by the last legislature making appropri ations for the current expenses of the closing and to pay miscellaneons items of indebtedness then owing by the state of ‘Nebraska reads s follows: Bach state officer and each board entitled to draw against the appropriations provided | for in this act shall keep an itemized count of all expenditures made by them and report the same with vouchers to the financ committee of next logislature; and no institutions and no state officers incur any indebtedness beyond the appropriated in thig bill to prevent disaster. The law in which this provision is in corporated is that which gives the differ ent state officers and institutions anthor ity to draw money for current expenses | up to the limit of the amounts therein ified. The appropriations are made the officers or shall amount except determine the penditures under the general heading.

We do not know whether all of the officers, boards and institutions receiving public money for current have made their v ports as required by law. If they h not the is yet time to insist upon them. There is danger, however, that the members of the finanee committee may in the pre tion with the new appropriation bills neglect to pass upon the appropriations of the last legislature. Unless they do s0 thel no way of telling how much of the appropriations for the current expenses of the past two years have re- mained unexpended and should be turned back into the treasury.

Further, if the fin committee eaves the itemiz for the past two y unex this time the idea is linble to get abroad that the requirement of the law is mercly a meaningless formality in- stead of the actual safeguard of the treasury which it was intended to be.

The advocates of the free and un- limited coinage of silver are not har. monious. There is diversity of opinion among them regarding several matters more or less vital to the cause, but the division regarding the expediency of forming a distinetively silver party Is the most marked. Some of the most zealous of the free silver champions, Senator Teller, for example, do not ap- prove of the present movement for a new party with the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 as its shibboleth, In a recent con- versation the Colorado senator said that nothing practical would be plished by organizing such a y thought it might be useful @ propa- ganda, but a party it would be a failore. A great party could not be formed and built up by a score of men, and the senator might have added, par- ticularly when those men are wanting in the qualifications of popular leade ship and for the most part are under the disadvantage of having been credited by their constituents. Whoever has given any attention to the formation of political parties in this country will not hesitate to admit the soundness of Mr. Teller's view re- sarding the proposed new party, It is 4 very simple matter for a set of men to get together and resolve to organize a party. That has been done many times in our history. But none of the great politieal parties In this country s come into existence in this way True, it is the common tdea that the democratic and the republican parties were thus born, but a carefol study of politienl history will show t each was the result of a process of evolution running throngh many ) s, and that each had behind it SIFONE Consensus of opinion. Moreover, these great par- ties had for projectors and leaders men of commanding ability and great popu- lar influence. This cannot trathifully be d of any of the men identified with the movement for the organization of a free silver party. It would not be at all surprising if before the time of the meeting of the national party conventions next year this movament exhausted itself and died out, its promoters contenting them- selves with an effort to obtain some con- cesslons from the conventions of the old parties in the interest of sily But whether this shall happen or not nobody appears to apprehend that the movement will make any very serious disturbance In politics. A party under the leadership of Joseph €. Sibley of Pennsylvania—farmer, hors breeder, manufacturer and millionaire—with men like Bland and Bynum as his lieuten ants, could not become very formidable, There is one good thing to be expected from this movement, however, and that 18 a vigorous and persistent campalgn of popular education in the cause of sound money.

The consensus of opinion tends | townrd the adoption of home rule—that is, the right of each city to make its own charter through a body of free holders whose work is subject to ratifi by The grant of lhome rule to cities is by no means an | abrogation of state control in all that | affects the general welfare, On the con- travy, the charter provisions are always supplementary to the statutes that gov ern the whole stite and apply with | cqual force to the population of cities as they do to the people outside of cities, These charters, furtherinore, must be always in conformity with the limita tions prescribed by law in the original act authorizing cities to make their own charters, The first experiment in the direction of home rule for cities was made in Cal- ifornia for all eities of over 100,000 pop- ulation. That of course simply covered San Pranciseo, but it may soon take in Los Angeles and in due time will be modified so as to include cities of over 10,000 population, Following the example of California, the state of Missouri has granted author- ity to cities of 100,000 population to en- act their own charte Under this law St. Louis and Kansas City have for sev- eral years enjoyed the privilege of home role and the Missouri legislature has been relieved of the perfodic contests over charters, about which the great m of members were absolutely self-govern- | cation popular vote. Jority fgnorant. The city of San Francisco is about to revise the first chart adopted some years ago under home rule. The new vter, framed by twelve freeholders, embodies some very important and vadi- cal changes in the distribution of muni- cipal powers which, if ratified by the voters of San incisco, will revolution- ize her oi government. Commenting upon the municipal government of San o , Mr. Julian Ralph presents a very lucid review of the features of the proposed charter revision in the last number of Harpe Weekly. According to Mr. Ralph, the main feature of the instrument is that it centers in the mayor nearly full responsibility for the conduct of the city's business by vesting him with power to appoint, remove or suspend all the heads of departments. This concentration of immensa power in the hands of the mayor is already being made the chief object of attack by those who hope to defeat this latest effort to reform the gov- ernment. They say that in the hands of a corrupt or inefiicient mayor such power is dangerous beyond the value of the benefits it confers upon the city when used by an en- lightened executive. The friends of the char- ter say that the drift of enlightened public opinion favors this concentration of responsi- bility, and they add that, after all, the mayor of San Francisco will not have more power than Brooklyn's mayor has already, or than the mayor of New York has had since the power-of-removal bill passed the legislature of the Empire state, The elective officers under the new charter are to be the mayor, the twelve supervisors, the auditor (who will have a large veto power in financial matters), the treasurer, the assessor, twelve superior judges, the district attorney, the sheriff and the school superin- tendent. Civil service’ reform is provided for by putting the control of minor appointments under the merit system with a civil service commission. A nonpartisan election commis- sion is provided for and a nonpartisan police commizsion and fire commission are set up. Franch for street railroads are to be sold at auction, exclusive franchises for con- duits, etc., are forbidden, and at least 2 p cent of the gross receipts of railways is re- quired to be paid to the city. The salaries of subordinates will be set by heads of departments under proper limita- tions, and, instead of the former shiftless plan of allowing the departments to draw from a general fund, there has been substi- tuted a system of apportioning the revenue into specific sums to form appropriations for maintaining the various bureaus of the gov- ernment. The single-headed commission idea has not found root in the new bill. There are to b2 nonpartisan boards of four fire, four police, four election, three civil service com- missioners, five school directors, three public works commissioners, three health commls- sioners, and so forth, It strikes us the time has come for Nebraska to fall in line with the home rule movement. It may be premature to extend the privilege of charter mak- ing to all cities, but it should by all ns be given to cities of the metro- politan elass, or to cities of over 100,000 population. The proposition for a con- stitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to grant the charter-making power to eities is now pending with the other amendments that are to be sub- mitted next year, and we hope that this amendment will included with the others that ave regavded as essential, el STILL GAINING, The recent town elections in the state of New York show that the republicans are not only holding their own, but ining. Some places that went demo- year have gone republican this year, while in others republican ma- Jorities of a year ago have been in- The Empire state, completely redeemed from democratie rule, is likely to remain so for years to come if the vepublican party shall continue faithful to the public interests and the sound principles of public policy. Thus far the political c¢hange is evidently most satisfactory to the people. Governor Morton is showing a statesmanlike ap- preciation of what is required under existing conditions and his course merited only commendation. The legis lature is also manifesting a proper sense of what is required in the interest of reform and has enacted some d legi lation.

He is endeavoring to give the city a nonpartisan, honest, budiness government, and as the legislature has lodged in his hands the full power of removals and appointments there no will he attained. The effect of all this cannot be other wise than to steéngthen the republican party in the state. There I8 evef§ “reason to expect that what has been shown in the rvesults of the spring town elections n the Empire state will be répeated in the elections to be held in othér states. The record of the . the ending of which wis o eanse of general rejoléing, pro foundly impressed the people with the utter incompetency of the democrate party for the responsibilities of govern ment, and this impression will not soon wear off. It will certainly remain long as the party is under its present leaders, if it can be said to hav ny. or g0 long as a majority of the party is for free trade, free silver and a fiat cur reney. In the north the democracy almost hopelessly shattered. Routed from its strongholds there is not a state north of Mason and Dixon’s line which the party would have a shadow of ¢ chance of carrying if an election were held In the south it is held together by frand, but it is losing ground there, and it is by no means a wild expectation that several of the states of the south will next year drop out of the democratic column and give their electoral votes to the republican presidential ecandidates. Indeed, this will be ssured — if - the movement for Dballot reform in that section, which seems to be rining force, shall result in the general adoption of election methods which will secure to the voters a free ballot and an honest count. Only this is now needed to break the solid south and redeem that section from the bourbon domination and mis- government which s been at a deawback and a reproach to it.

The county commissioners of that county set aside $£10,000 to be invested in seed grain to be given fo needy farmers in exchange for their interest-bearing notes, due one year hence. It was at first thought that this sum would not be nearly suflicient to supply all ap- plicants. The time for making appli- cations, howeéver, has expired and almost half of the money remains in the hands of the county. In other words, the great number of York county farmerd are cither already sup- vlied with seed grain or prefer to rely on their own resources for obtaining it. The people of other counties can profit by the example thus set them. of York None of our overworked state offi- cors object to new burdens being im- nosed upon them provided a fat place for some political favorite goes with each additional duty.

Minneapolis Tribune: Probabl ever rendered in a criminal trial ev a more cmphatic and general approval. The ime, committed in the early days of last December, was peculiarly atrocious and blood- thirsty. The actual deed was perpetrated by a brute in human shape, and the crime was plottel by a human being with the heart of a flend. 1t is believed that the prosccution and the jury have made no error and that the guilty wreteh who instigated the foul and bloody murder has been placed within the shadow of the gallows by a righteous verdict. Tho jury was one of unusual intelligence and high' character. The c xhaustively tried. The accused was defended with rare or and skill, but eternal truth made itself manifest and justice has prevailed. Minneapolis Times: The termination yes- terday of the great murder trial, which™ for nearly two months has kept the public mind at a painful tension, will be hailed with a feeling of profound relief. The effect of such a strain upon a community cannot be other than unwholesome and demoralizing. That from the commission of the murder—one of the most cruel and horrible in the annals of crime—there has been no public excitement— nothing but the most implicit_confidence in the power and determination of the agencie of justice to bring the red-handed perpetra- tors to trial and to righteous doom—is the one gratifying feature of the long and trying ordeal, The general sense of relief is height- encd by the fact that the verdict—whether absolutely a just one or not—is also the ver- dict of the public that has watched the pro- gress of the trial with probably a deeper interest and a closer analysis of the testi- mony than was ever given to any criminal prosecution.
