The lessees also seem to a hunch to the same effect, ve received Little interest is manifested in the trial of the alleged assassins of Barrett Seott. This is no doubt due to the fact that everybody conversant with exist- ing couditions expects the trial to prove a farce and in such expectation no one 15 likely to be disappointed. That polished and gentleman, Mr. Willinm Dorgan, is now walking the floor nights. Phe Philistines are hot on his trail.

The populists of Iowa went through merely a customary formality in placing a full list of nominees in the field for the state offices to be filled this fall The democrats will go through a similar ceremony at their convention. The only real nominations to be made in Iowa this year will be those of the republican state convention and the cholce of the republicans promises to be equivalent to election.

Captain Mostyn is not eandidate for the place and neither asks nor expects to be appointed chief of police. He understands well enough that the suggestion is inspired by sinis. ter motives and knows enough to know that the selection of a Roman Catholi for chief of police would be a red rag to the A.

The convention of the National League of Republican Clubs, which will be held fn Cleveland npext week, proniiges to be one of the most largely | attended conventions since the organiza- tlon of the league. It is now ten years gince the method of party organization by clubs W adopted and out of this grew the league, which at this time has a membership of more than 2,000,000 votors, & majority of whom are active nd cssive workers for the promo- tion of republican principles. That this ganization has been useful to the party as a whole will not be ques- tioned, but it has to some extent been taken advantage of by self-seeking politi to promote their own political inte to the detriment of the party in localitios if not generally. The object of the league, which is the dissemina- tion of republican principles and the en- s in support of those principle good, and so long as this purpose is adbered to and the organization does not become the in- strument for aiding the political ambi- tlon of any man or set of men it will remain o useful force in politics. It will cease to, be such if ever it shall become @ mere politieal machine, to be manipulated by shrewd and unscru- pulous politicians for their own bene- fit. Republic n: n confidence in the future of the party has never been stronger than it time. All the conditions jef that the party will ect the president and the congress next year. he countr through a period of severe depression rgely due to the assault on the protec- tive policy by the democratic party. more than a year the revenues of the government have been below the ex- penditures, creating a deficit which com- pelled the treasury to borrow to the ex- tent of $150,000,000. Three times during the present democratic adwministration the gold reserve established to maintain the parity of the currency has been so depleted as to threaten the, suspension of specie payments. These experiences have convinced hundreds of thousands of intelligent voters of the incapacity of the democratic party for wisely ad- ministering the affairs of government and swelled the ranks of republicanism. Besides these powerful influences mak- ing for republican success In the next presidential election the fact that the demoeratic party is hopelessly split on the silver question, with every proba- bility pointing to the nomination of two demoeratie ndidates for the presi- denc Manifestly there is abundant reason for republican confidence. But in order that the party shall win such a vieto as these conditions promise it is neces- that it take & position which will command the full confidence of the in- telligent and thoughtful voters of the country. Ispecially must it take a firm and unequivocal stand in favor of a yund and stable currency and the main- tenance of a monetary system in which overy o shall be equal to every other dollar in purchasing and debt- paying power. It will be the duty of the national convention that will meet next year to declare the position of the party on this and other questions, but the league convention can exert a most important influence in shaping party sentiment and therefore its utterances will be awaited with great interest. The declarations of an organization that represents more than a million republi- an voters cannot fail to have great weight. . at this the Db is 1vor TO STOP FILIBUSTERING. The federal authorities have decided upon vigorous measures to prevent viola- tion of the neutrality laws of the United States by the departure from our ter tory of expeditions intended to aid the Cuban insurgents. A cruiser has been ordered to patrol the Florida course and the instructions to the commande are said 1o be of the most comprehensive character, while at the same time the collectors of customs on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts have been instructed to see that the neutrality laws, particu- larly sections 5,280 and 5,200 of the Re- vised Statutes, are fully complied with. It will be of interest to the public to know what these sections provide and they are therefore given in full: ction 5,289. The owners or consignees of every armed vessel sailing out of the ports of the United States, belonging whoily or in part to citizens thereof, shall, before clear- ing out the same, give bond to the United States, with sufficient sureties, in double the amount of the value of the vessel and cargo on board, including her armament, condi- tioned that the vessel shall not be employed by such owners to crulse or commit hostilities against the subjects, citizens or property of any foreign prince or state, or of any colony, district or people, with whom the United States are at pe Sectlon 5,200. The several collectors of the customs shall Qetain any vessel manifestly built for warlike purposes, and about to de- part the United States, the cargo of which principally consists of arms and munitions of war, when the number of men shipped on board, or other circumstances, render it prob- able that such vessel Is intended to be em- ployed by the owners to crulse or commit hostilities upon the subjects, citizens or property of any foreign prince or state, or of any colony, district or people, with whom the United States are at peace, until the decision of the president is had thereon, or until the owner gives such bond and seeurity as Is required of the owners of armed vessels by the preceding section. It is stated in the dispatehes that if the measures already adopted are not sufficlent to secure the enforcement of the neutrality laws, which are compre- hensive in their scope, steps may be ken against the organizers of expedi- tions dntended to aid in illegal warfare guinst a friendly nation, he statutes provide heavy fines and imprisonment for engaging in enterprises of this char- acter, which is deseribed as a high mis demeanor. The action ot the authorities in this matter has been tak none too soon, for, while the government has re- ceived po tangible evidence of a viola- tion of the neutrality laws, there is not a reasonable doubt that they have been violated and that active preparations to aid the Cuban insurgents are now going on in the territory of the T in violation of the statutes regarding st ce. neutrality. The almost daily reports show this to be the case and also that the promoters of the projected expedi- | tions have been growing bolder in their movements. All good citizens will approve the de- cision of the authorities at Washington to put a stop to this, for however strong and general the sympathy of the Ameri- can people with the cause of the Cuban insurgents, and undoubtedly a very large majority hope for their success, none will question that it is the lmpera- tive duty of our government to see t the neutralit ws are not vielated and that every obligation in this particular which this country owes to a friendly nation shall be faithfully respected. Un- doubtedly the measures already adopted will have the desired effect. STILL PLAYING CUTTLE FISH. The World-Herald has confidence in the in- tegrity of the fire and police commissioners, including those that the governor named at the special request of Mr. E. Rosewater. * * o The sole Interest that the World-Herald has had in the management of the police force has been that interest manifested by every good citizen. There are no members of the present force whom we desire to punish be- cause they refuse to carry out some personal work that we desire to accomplish. We have not become smitten with the capability of a Pinkerton, nor do we believe that the people of Omaha care to place a representative of that organization at the head of their police force. There are no public men over whose lives the World-Herald desires to set a spy by the cheap method of hiring the dirty work done by a police detective, placed on the city pay roll by editorial assistance. It will thus be seen that while the World- Herald has the same Interest in a good police force that every good citizen has, we do not bave that pecullar interest in the organization of the force that Mr, Rosewater has, * * © The World-Herald has no desire to imitate the example of Rosewater, who Is always willing to ruin if he can’t rule. The World- Herald urged that Chief Seavey be rein- stated In order that peace might prevall. But Seavey had incurred the bitter enmity of the A.P. A. and Rosewater and he was vigorously opposed by both of these elements. * ¢ * The great mass of the people of Omaha are interested only In having an efficient police force. But there are two elements that seem anxious to control the force to selfish advantage. The one is the A. P. A. and the other is Rosewater. The people have just about as much to fear from one of these elements as from the other. ~ With cither In control an efficient police force would be an impossibility. But the World-Herald hopes that Commis- sioners Brown, Smith, Strickler and Deaver will do what seems best for Omaha without regard to the wishes of either Rosewater or his late associates—the A. P. A. politicians Incidentally we may be permitted to express the wish that even to please Rusewater Com- missioner Deaver will not suggest the name of a Pinkerton for chief of police if an equally good man, not identified with that organization, can be secured.—World-Herald You can fool some of the people all of the time, you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all of the time. You can indulge in the natural propensities of the mole, the crawfish and the snake, but the tactics of the cuttlefish will not cover your serpentine trail. Nelther are the citizens of Omaha to be hamboozled Dby the inexcusable flings and cowardly innuendoes at the editor of The Bee. What right has the World-Herald to charge that D. Clem Deaver and Charles H. Brown were named police commis. sioners at the special request of . Rose- water? Both of these men were active supporters of Governor Holcomb and both were appointed on his own motion. Unlike Governor Crounse, who named V. O. Strickler at the instance of his son-in-law, G. M. Hitcheock, in spite of the remonstrances of his most ardent supporters and best friends, including such men as Fred Metz, sr, Charles Karbach and others, Governor Holcomb did ask his friends and supporters whether Messrs, Deaver and Brown were objectionable. This is as far as he went. What right has the World-Herald to insinuate that the reorganization of the police is advocated by The Bee at this time because some members of the force have refused to do the dirty work of Rosewater or to play the spy for him? s it not infamous to make such a ch when there is not a policeman on the force who has ever been ask to do any work, political or personal. for the editor of The Bee? The only work that any policeman has ever been called upon to do has been in the strict line of his duty in the detection of crime or the arrest of criminals. What right has this apologist for boodlers, crooks and public plunderers to charge that a Pinkerton detective is to be made chief of police at the in- stance of the editor of The Bee? Can such cheap demagogy impose upon in- telligent people for a moment? What has been the attitude World-Herald toward police reform? And when has that concern ed its voice to purge the police force of sec- tarlan agitators, debauchees and crooked detectives? Did it er de- nounce the disgraceful Blair fandango or the shameful performances of Chief Detective Haze in the very same line? Only two days ago this man Haze de- clared that when Chief Seavey threat- ened to have him dismissed he turned on Seavey and informed him that he could dosoonly at the risk of being ex- posed himself. And thereupon the late chief subsided. Nobody can charge The Bee with partiality to A. P. A.-ism, but when the A. P. A's brought charges against Seavey that could not be re- futed The Bee was hone: nough to urge Mr. Seavey's retirement.” But the eavey reinstated spite of the notorious fact that avey did not dare to discipline his subordinates because they knew too much about him. The cuttlefish tics which are being employed by our double-dealing con- temporary in connection” with police re- form and the attempt to create a diver- sion in the fight gainst sectarian proscription and corrupt local govern- ed of the World-Herald wanted in ment by constantly harping upon K. Rosew or id making him a target will avail nothing. It is palpably an at- tempt to give further aid and comfort to the howling dervishes and taxeaters who have thrown crumbs to the con- cern that holds itself at all times ready to prostitute its columns cheap to the side that Is willing to pay the most either for its support or for its silence.

The reckless disregard of police regu- fons and diggipline which permeates ur police was never more forcibly illustrated than 1o the treatment of the parties implicatetl’in the Chapple mur- der.

Sunday. -~ When he was arrested he was pl in the cell occupled by Mrs. Ish by direction of Acting Captain Sigwart, who certainly ought to know that parties suspected of complicity in a murder should be kept apart and not given a chance to agree upon a story for thefr defense. Second, the little daughter of the prisoners was permitted to carry messages between her parvents after they had been separated the next day. Third, one of the chief witnesses, a former servant in the Ish houschold, who had carried confidential notes from Mrs. Ish to the murdered man, was taken into the cell with Mrs. Ish after the inquest and given an opportunity to get lier cue and then liberated with- out even a bond for her appearance at the trial. has for years known that ilroads own large blocks of prop- erty listed as depot grounds in this city that never were a part of depot grounds and should for years have borne a fair share of the burdens of city govern- ment. jut this property has escaped the assessor, while the little homes of mechanics and laborers must help make up the deficiency caused by the evasion of corporate property. This is another strong argument in favor of a single tax collector, It also suggests the query: Why does the legal department let the injunction against the city clerk’s listing of railroad property out- side of rightof-way drag along year after year? Can't that case be pushed to final determi ion at this time when the city is in sore need of every dollar that can be legally collected?

The ground everywhere in excellent condition and in some cases is reported wet down to a depth of two feet. With such an out- look the croaker must betake himself to some other clime.

THE FIELD AND THE FAVORITES, Chicago Tribune: Hon. William C. Whit- ney affirms with much positiveness that he doesn't want it. Globe-Demoerat: Mr. Reed is the kind of a candidate for president who does not pro- pose to join the procession until it is ready to start. Chicago Chronicle: McKinley's presidential boom is so weighted with McKinleyism that it has no fair chance with the others. He should unload Indianapolis Journal: Ex-Secretary Whit- ney has shown himself a discreet person by declaring that he will not be the democratic candldate for president in 1896, He first displayed his discretion last year by refusing to be a candidate for governor in New York. Brooklyn Eagle: The republicans need not boast over much of their chances for the presidency. Many statesmen in their party are sceking the office, but not one of them will come within cannon range distance of it, it he fails to get the nomination. O the disappointed, the disappointed! A grewsome lot they will make! Chicago Post: The appearance of William C. Whitney as a candidate for the presidency this year was an unavoidable consequen of the wholesale adulation heaped upon that gentleman after his management of Mr Cleveland's campaign. But that he should be the administration’s candidate is not alto- gether pleasing to the friends of Mr. Cleve- land. Mr. Whitney Is amiable, shrewd and forceful, but is he of the presidential stuff? Never until Mr. Cleveland found him was he known outside the narrow circle of rich men into which he had burrowed. Kansas City Star: Mr. William C. Whit- ney is in an enviable position. Undoubtedly he s sincere when he declares that he will not be the democrat wdidate next year. But although he says “I will not" instead of “I shall not” and in itself is not conclusive for it would seem that if the nomination goes to the east it must, as it now appea g0 to Mr. Whitney unsought. He is perhap: the only man now prominent in the party who would not need what is called a pro- liminary “boom.” Mr. Whitney's very in- difference is wholly in his favor. Cincinnati Enquirer: Mr. Thomas B. Reed seems to a good many political philosophers to be loafing on the first quarter of the presidential race track. Governor McKinley is understood to have been running at his best gait until he fell down. General Harrison has been moving at a dangerous pace. Gov- ernor Morton and Dr. Depew have been throwing a good deal of dust in the eyes of the field. Allison has been much talked of as a flyer of wonderful speed and bottom when he gets started. There has been a good deal of hurrah about Cameron, not- withstanding his modesty. Mr. Reed seems to be in no hurry and though he is always stocked tremendously with sarcasm the prominence of the opposing candidates has not moved him to a single bitter aphorism. Minneapolis Times: The Harrisonian fac- tion of the republican party point with pride to the fact that their candidate sat all through the Memorial day exercises on the same hot spot in the grand stand where Governor Morton fainted and from which Mr McKinley was compelled to retreat the robustiousness of Mr. Harrison's didacy is demonstrated. Moreover, it 50 hap- ed that Governor McKinley, having placed s best sili hat in a chair on the stand, Mr. Harrison came along and sat down upon it. 1t was a trifling incident, yet the enthus- fastic Harrisonians hail it as a portent of what will_happen in 1896, when they expect not only Mr. McKinley's hat, but all other hats, to be sat upon by the fortunate heir to the already historical tile known as “‘grandfather's hat. e PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE.

Louisville Courier-Journal (dem.): There fs no denying that it was the largest and the most sanguine republican convention that has ever met in Kentucky. Moreover, It was composed of a better class of men than the average republican convention of this state. That they were animated by a spirit of hope- fulness new to such conventions was equally evident. Their boasts of victory in November had in them this time something more than the empty bravado affected as a matter of course on such occasions. Perhaps the best proof that they think they have a good chance to win this year was in the multl tude of candidates and the protracted strug- gle for every office. w York Evening Post (dem.): The re- publicans of Kentucky enter this year's can- vass with more hope of success and more ground for hope than they ever before had. They made an extraordinary good showing in the congressional and judicial elections of last fall, and they are in excellent condition for another fight, while the democrats are “all torn up' over the silver question. The republican plank on_ this question is “flat- footed” against the free and unlimited coin- age of silver, and they propose to make this the fssue of the campaign so far as national politics is concerned. If it were not for the fact that silver overshadows everything else at present the republicans might carry the election on state issue: for Kentucky has long suffered from being constantly con- trolled by the same party, and the hest thing that could happen to the commonwealth would be a political revolution. he repub- licans will, of course, try to press their ad- vantage in this respect, but at present the people are talking about nothing but silver.

LOS ANGELES, June 12.—Gold Is sald to have been found in paying quantities at the bottom of the ocean near the western end of San Clements island. The discovery was made in a peculiar manner, While Archi bald Read was cruising about in his yacht it became necessary to heave the lead in order to ascertain the character of the bottom with a view of casting anchor. The lead had a small cavity in the bottom filled with tallow that was used to indicate what kind of a seabed it touched. If rocky the indentation on the waxy substance would clearly show it, and if muddy it would be unaffected. In this tallow the gold was found imbedded. 1t Is supposed there s a rich placer concealed by the waves and the party proposes to strip it of its treasures. An expedition is to be fitted out in the near future and a diver will be taken to San Clements. The gold is of fine quality and entirely free from quartz. Workmen on the Inorease.
