If the storles of the disgraceful scenes attending the last hours of the Illinois legislature are true, the Illinois brand of legislative material eannot be much superior to the Nebraska brand.

The Republican League which convenes in Cleveland today will uncork a large quantity of republican convention enthusiasm aund other liquids. The two naturally go together, not as cause and effect, but as concurrent phenomena. The Chicago Record calls the bargain for the return of Taylor, the defaunlting ex-treasurer of South Dakota, a dis- graceful dicker. If any one has any more dignified name to apply to it, the suggestion ought to be made without delay. The Board of Education has served notice upon A. P.

Omaba has never been quite recon- ciled to the transfer of the Willow Springs distille to the Whisky trust. It was a prosperous concern under private management, and the sooner 4t can liberate itself from the great ~aleohol octopus the better it will be for all concerned. It doesn’t matter what M . Rose- water thought or said of the Mosher prison contract in 1891, or at any other time. The question is, What do the people think of a set of appraisers who give Dorgan $33,408.90 of their money for junk-shop chattels that would npt bring one-fourth of that sum if sold to any private individual? This is the question that the apologists for the latest penitentiary steal are most anx- fous to avold. The wind-upof the Memphis free silver couvention is the formation of another bimetallic league. And there must be at least half a dozen of these Jeagues now In operation, says the Spriogfield Republican. What is more, the membership of all the half dozen leagues is substantially identical. If they should all join forces, the whole number of adherents would not be double that of the league with the largest number of members. THE CITY 1REASURY. The revelations of the last twenty- four hours concerning City Treasurer Bolln and the defalcation in the muni- cipal treasury have create surprise in this community.

Mr. Coulter’s conduct during the past year has been such as o his conditions a priety. make retention under present of doubtful matter pro- RESCIND THE ACTION. The Board of Education has again voted to continue the teachers' training school, which its own attorney declares to be without warrant of law. Why was this done? Simply because the Pacific Express office makes a business of school polities. If the school treas- ury were overflowing, and the teachers’ training school were by law a part of the common school system, this flagrant piece of favoritism might be passed by unnoticed. But why should the school board rob the children who are en- titled to ten months' elementary in- struction each year In order to keep up a normal department for the benefit of one person? The salaries of the training school teachers last year aggregated That sum cannot be spared from the fund devoted to primary and grammar school education. With only $15,000 in the school board treasury, and three times as many outstanding warrants unpaid, with no income In sight for six months beyond the police court fines, which will not exceed $1,000 per month, retrenchment has become an absolute necessity. The place where strenchment should begin is with the branch that can be lopped off with least injury to the schools. As there is no legal authority for diverting the school fund to the support of a normal school, the board should rescind the action it has taken under the political pressure of interested parties WILL MAKE NO CONOESSION. The statement made by the parlia- mentary secretary of the British foreign office, in the Ifouse of Commons, re- garding the position of the British gov- ernment in the boundary controversy with Venezuela, shows that there is no more disposition now to make conces- sions than at any previous time since the dispute arose. A report from Wash- ington a few 8 ago stated that there was more favorable promise of the settlement of this matter by arbi- tration, according to the suggestion which had been submitted by this gov- ernment to the British government, but it seems from the London dispatch that there was no substantial ground for this statement. The simple fact is that Great Britain adheres to the position she has held from the beginning of the controversy. She proposes to Insist upon her original claim to certain ter- ritory and will only submit to arbitra- tion a subsequent claim, which our government has in effect sald is of doubtful merit. This latest officlal declaration of the intention of the British government not to make any concession to Vene- zuela will not unlikely result in speed- ily bringing the controversy to a crisis and thus compelling the United States government te assume a definite atti- tude. The situation Js very much strained and the fact that Venezuela has made no hostile demonstration with a view to occupying the disputed territory is largely due to the hope that the efforts of this government to in- duce the British government to accede to the request for submitting the whole matter in controversy to arbitration would be successful. With that hope dissipated there is reason to expect that Venezuela will take steps to pos- herself of the disputed territory, the populir sentiment of the country belng strongly in favor of such a course, Undoubtedly the British government is fully prepared for such a contingency and would meet the first overt act with vigorous resistance, After the interest our government has taken in this matter it could not be a mere passive spectator of a conflict be- tween eat Britain and Venezuela without an impairment of its prestige and influence. KEven in the event of war resulting from the action of Vene- zuela this country would be bound to glve its moral if not its substantial support to the South American republic and to go so far, at least, as to warn Great Britain that it would mnot con- sent to any spoliation of Venezuelan territory. There would be furnished by such a conflict an opportunity for a decisive application of the Monroe doe- trine and there is little reason to doubt that our government would firmly in- sist upon the recognition of this doc- trine. It 1s easy to see, therefore, that it is more thin possible the United States may become seriously involved in this Venezuelan complication, and were our government disposed to make it a pretext for getting into trouble with Great Britain, as Jingolsm would sug- gest, probably no great difficulty would be found In starting trouble. As to the sos as | | disclaiming its intimate r efforts of this government to bring about a settlement of the controversy by arbitration it Is evidently u to continue them. We have done our whole duty in this direction and will only Invite humiliation by going furthe As the sitvation now apy Vene. zuela can secure possession of the te ritory she claims Great Britain has no right to only by fighting for it. If she shall decide to do that it will be time for the United States to declare its po sition. Meanwhile our government can properly dismiss the matter from con- sideration. TRYING THE SCARECROW GAME. And the voice Is the voice of Jacob, and the hand is the hand of Esan. Our double-ender contemporary keeps on lation to the howling dervishes who are ing to get control of the fire and police de partments for mercenary, sectarian and political purposes. These disclaimers are, however, decidedly at variance with S0 its course at every turn When the commission w nego. tiating with Mr. Redell to accept the position of fire chief it raised the ery against appointing any one not already in the departmment This demagogic howl in favor of home talent was kept up in spite of the known fact that no one in Omaha was qualified by experi ence to reorganize and handle the de partment. When Chief Redell's scalp was reached for by the howling der- vishes this organ of discord gave all the aid and comfort it could to the gang. When the board, after leaving the city for weeks exposed to footpads, crack men and crooks, prepared to secure a competent chief of police, the cry wi raised that the man who accepted the position would have only a six weeks job. Now that the board has offered the place to an officer who is in every respect qualified for the position and brings the best of recommendations, the contention is raised that no man can legally fill the place of chief of police unless he s a citizen of Ne braska. Such a game of scarecrow will hardly frighten a man of Martin White's caliber. In support of its absurd assertion the World-Herald cites the anti-Pinkerton law enacted in 1893, with the terrible threat that the commissioners will in- cur the linbility of being sent to the penitentiary if they dare to install Mr. White Into the position vacated by Seavey. If Mr. Hitchcock were not a half-baked lawyer he would know enough to know that the anti-Pinker- ton act prohibits simply the importation of mercenarics by private corporations and their appointment as deputy sher- iffs or deputy marshals. The anti- Pinkerton law in so many words pro- hibits sheriffs, police chiefs or police commissioners from appointing any non-resident as under sheriff or dep- uty for the protection of public or pri- vate property. This does not apply to the employment of an American citi- zen, who upon assuming his dutles becomes a resident with the intention of making this city his home. There is more than one lawyer on the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners and they doubtless know their powers and duties in the premise: The game of scarecrow has been played too often. wa s THE TARIFF AS AN ISSUE. ‘With the revenues of the govern- ment falling behind expenditures and a steadily increasing deficit demonstrat- ing beyond question the failure of the present tariff law as a revenue measure, it is perfectly obvi- ous that in considering what shall be done to give the government an ade- quate revenue it will be impossible to drop the tariff as an lssue. In the opinion of some prominent republicans it will be the paramount issue in the campalgn of next year. In a recent interview Representative Dalzell of Pennsylvania, who may be the chair- man of the ways and means committee of the next house, expressed the opinion that the tariff will be the principal issue In 1800. Other republicans of equal prominence in the party coun- cils have expressed a similar view and a number of republican papers are urging that this must be the leading question before the people in the next presidential campaign. Unless in the meanwhile the revenues of the govern- ment overtake expenditures, which now seems most improbable, it is manifest that the question of revising the tariff with a view to providing more revenue will have to be urged upon the con- sideration of the people. The next congress will probably be able to accomplish very little for in- creasing the revenue. It can make no material changes in the tariff law for this purpose, because a democratic president stands In the way. Any in- crease of duties or amy transfers from the free list to the dutiable list which a republican house might make would, if not defeated by the senate, be very certain to encounter the executive veto. Although President Cleveland withheld his approval from the pres law and condemned it in vigorous terms, it Is safe to say that he will per- mit no interference with it in the di- rection of greater protection to Amel fcan industries, even though it be clearly shown that to do this would at once increase the revenues of the government and the prosperity of the people. A moderate duty on wool and a slight increase of a few other duties would give the treasury the needed revenue without in the least oppress- ing the people, but Mr. Cleveland would not permit this to be done, and the fore it would be useless for the repub- lican house of representatives to waste any time over such legislation. The tariff will stand as it is, there is every reason to believe, until it can be changed by a republican congress and president, and that being the case It will have to be made an issue, and, as now seems probable, the paramount issue in the next campaign for the cholce of a president and congress. It is not to be doubted that a large majority of the Amerlean people are now fully convinced that the dend- cratie tariff policy is not what this country wants.

Tndianapolis Journal, The Pennsylvania legislature, instigated by anti-Catholic _organizations, dashed in and passed a law forbidding the wearing by pub- lie school teachers of the “pecullar garb” of any religious sect. The law was aimed at Roman Cathollc nuns, who, in certain neighborhoods, have heretofore been per- mitted to teach in public schools. The first fruits of the measure are, however, of an unexpected sort. The Mennonites, a Prot- estant denomination, have quite a large mem bership in Pennsylvania, and the women wear a “‘peculiar garb.”” Some of them teach school, and it is now discovered, greatly to thefr consternation and that of their friends, that the law discriminates against them. In some quarters the school directors will employ them as before and bring suit to test the constitutionality of the law, if necessary. In some parts of Pennsylvannia the Quaker women still adhere to their quaint attire, and they, too, will come under the ban it they wish to teach. The same is true of the Amish and other sects in the state, so that, altogether, the anti-Cathollc organizations and the legislature find that their law, over which they chuckled, is likely to be an ele- phant on their hands. Next time they will perbaps go a little slower. e The Trinmph of Injustice. Buftalo Expross. The decision of the circuit court of appeals dissolving the injunction by which the hold- ing of an election for a constitutional conven- tion In South Carolina under the present barbarous registration laws was forbidden is a sad blow to honest elections. The ground of the decision {8 not that of equity, but lack of jurisdiction. * * * On its face thls ruling constitutes a gross injustice. Its only warrant is that the federal courts lack power to prevent such injustice, It is further claimed by the court that neither the 14th nor 15th amendments of the federal consti- tution bear on the case, this being merely a stato election, The ruling leaves the bourbons of South Carolina full liberty to go ahead with thelr infamous constitution for the perpetual dis- franchisement of the negroes. Unless fur- ther action can be taken, by which a reversal of this decision can be secured from the su- preme court, they will unquestionably carry out their purpose. The only way to treat South Carolina then will be to make it pay the penalty for its dishonesty by depriving it of a portion of its congressional representation, according to the provisions of the 14th amendment. This much can be done, and the Express hopes it will be. —_—— ¥ree Silver Recklessn Globe-Democrat, The free silverites would make more prog- ress it they would adopt more temperate and reasonable methods of presenting their views and promoting their purposes.

It he were an avowed candidate he has not that quality which Blaine pos- sessed in 80 great a degree, the magnetism or something to make the crows sing and shout and go wild over him and his ambi- tions. Sioux City Journal: The falr prospect that Senator Allison will be nominated for the presidency cuts no figure in the matter of his re-election to the senate. The next legislature will re-elect him as senator. There will be no opposition. Nor does the senator need to become a candldate for re- eloction. It will be sufficient if he should not positively refuse to be a candidate for re-election. It is safe to say that no repub- lican in Towa would be a candidate againsh Senator Allison, so long as he would consent to re-election. Sioux City Times: The last general as- sembly took an fmportant step in the direc- tion of more efficient temperance legislation, leaving much for future general assemblies to do. That wise progress will be made no one can doubt who has carefully measured public sentiment. And not the least auspicious sign is the growing disposition of the average voter of all parties, however it may be in the case of some politiclans, to demand that this question be dealt with as a business matter, and not as a mere instrument of partisanship, which has already done so much to delay a satisfactory settle- ment, Des Molnes Capital: The ocean telegraph conveys to us the important intelligence that part of the equipment of the expedition which is to go through the new Baltic sea canal is to be, besides five tons of fresh meat daily, *2,000 bottles of wine, 200 bottles of spirits, 10,000 bottles of beer, 6,000 gallons of beer in casks and 1,000 gallons of milk apart from the ordinary rations on board.” There's 16 to 1 again; sixteen of beer to one of milk; but then, like our 16 to 1, it is not the proper ratio. It provides for a pre- posterous amount of milk. The ratio of 32 to 1 will doubtless be found, as in the other case, the true one. The people over there ust have been reading our American news- papers until they couldn't think of any other proportion than 16 to 1. Highest of all in Leavening Power.-— Latest U. S.
