Regardless of the *t that they may have to ac in their legislative capacity upon inter- national questions they freely give to the public, when asked, their opinions respecting the cou the government should pursue, thus often In advance of an official and detailed kuowledge of the facts committing themselves to a policy which later circumstances may show would be unwise and perilous | Partisan feeling to no little extent [ responsible for this, but whatever the wotive it fact that as a rule our public men are too free in their opinions upon questl affecting our inter national relations and the duty of our | government in respect of such relations.

BER: SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1895, posing to prevent the collection of a money indemnity from Niearagua in- curred by the violation of international obligations, 1Is it not perfectly obvious that If this country were to adopt the poliey of interfering in matters of this it would invite endless com plications with European pow: The Connecticut a few days ago adopted a resolution demanding of the administration at Washington “that they insist upon the immediate hauling down of the British flag and the with drawal of thélie troops from the repub. lic of Nicaragua, and that said demand if n , by American from an American fleet,” This may have a patriotic ring to some, but to will calmly it a character s senate be enforeed, SSATY Tl consider Such those who regard it ridiculous. on the part of this country would to a declaration of war Britain and that would long and costly con must as con be tantamount P Great mean a inst doubtless flict The jingo sentiment become prevalent in this country.

I'his was really hush money, paid to an ex-reporter of this paper who had been discharged for playing into hands of the Inasmuch as this high-handed picce of official looting only concerned the imbecile taxpa who had not gumption encugh to assert their rights in the courts, The Bee allowed the incident to without comment. The same is true regarding more recent appropriations for the benefit of the blackleg boodle organ which the South Omaha council has made its “official™ mouthpiece. But The Bee does not propose to sub- wit tamely to any attempt on the part of the South Omaha municipal combine to punish this paper for exposing its rottenness. This is whe De drawn pretty sharply in 1801 when another council undertook to cumb law. The performances of the South Omaha council at their last two mectings afford abundant ground for in- voking the power of the courts, and in this i nee, as w e four year: ago, we propose not only to test the ght of the South Omaha council to nullify the plain letter of the law, but also to raise and determine all the in- cidental issues involved. INCREASING CLRCULATION, One of the indieations of im provement in the industrial condition of the country is the demand for inereased note civculation. Duaring April the treasury secure civeulating wer in creased about 000,000, indieating an addition to the bank note civculation for that month of about $2,700,000. It is stated by treasury officials that the most marked change was in the new 4 per cent bonds, which increased $1,500, 000 during April, and in the 5 per cent which inereased nearly $1,000,- in the same time. Another evi- dence of the revival of business activity i orded by the applications for au- thority to establish new national banks, The number of national banks organized in the United States, which ran as high as 307 in 1890, fell to a minimum during the panie, and many applications for charters In the spring of 1802 were withdrawn or abandoned. The whole number of banks organized during the ¥y covered Dy the last report of the comptroller of the currency, ending Oc- tober 31, 1804, was only fifty, a smaller number than in any year since 1870 The banks organized during the six months since the last report have num- bered fourteen and the applications pending number thirty-one. It is thus practically assured that that tiere will be more new national banks organized this year than last. It is noteworthy that the southern states make a good showing in the applications, From the figures of increased bank cirenlation indicated for April and the number of applications for new banks pending 1t appears probable that in the current year there will be an addition to the circulation in the form of bank curreney to the amount of at least 000,000, and it 18 more than likely exceed this. Whether such an in ase would keep pace with the grow- as wils To pass Just as 1t was South Omala negative the Slo- st s e surest bank the bonds on deposit in to notes bone 000 to | ing demands of business it is impossible to say. Much will extent of the crops. that whatever the demand may the objections, and perhaps the chief urged against the national bank- ing system is that it does not provide an elastic currency—inereasing and di- minishing according to the condition of business. But national bankers are not a rule blind to their opportunitie: and it has not often happened that they have been found neglecting a chance to profit by their circulation It is apparent that they discern such an opportunity in the near future and that they are getting ready to improve it There could be no better evidence of returning confidence. depend upon the But it 1s to be ex be.
