Now we have a boundary commission. Next let us have a settlement of the boundary ¢ We do not know low miny demo- crats are willing to follow the lead of John .

Hitcheock, Every day next week w special attraction to visitors. est interest is felt in the unpin show the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben pro- pose to put up. Gorgeous i cular and unique in conception, it will sur pass any public entertainment hereto- fore attempted in Omal: Holders of large property interests, the corporations owning proparty here, fnvestors holding mortgages upon lar ds and lots—all these are interesied with the great mass of property owners in reducing the rate of taxation in Omaha. They demand it. It must come. The Citizens' Reform league is the means to that end. prosent a Ihe keen- leled The Omaha Fake-Mill, which does not pay as much for telegraphic service in a month as The Bee does in any week and sometimes in a single day, harps on the alleged superiority of its press dispatches. The Bee is simply content to invite comparison of its news eolumns with those of the W.-IL and let the public judge for itself. There is no necessity for a Board of Health nor for a Board of Publio Works. A street commissioner conld do all the business of the board which does not properly belong to the engineer- ing department. We must reduace ex- penses. The man or the party to pro- vide a radical scheme of retrenchinent will win at the fall election. Senator Gorman must be in a very self-satisfying position. If the demo- erats in Maryland win he will point to victory as the result of his own per sonal efforts and influence. If the dem ocrats lose Mr. Gorman will say that the incubus of the administration w too heavy for him to carry. For Gor- man it is practically “Heads I win and tails you lose. Stock cuts of alleged yachts bearing the labels Defender and Valkyrie a fn great service now with the ready made newspapers. One day’ they are brought into requisition to represent the vessels at the start of the race and the next day they are used to illustrate the finish. And in order to uphold the claim to economical journalism the same thrilling cut is used day after day. It takes something like this to consti- tute true journalistic enterprise. Like the very similar explosion in Chi- cago a year ago, the deadly ecaisson explosion In Louisville appears to be without reason or excuse. It was thought that the accident of last sum- mer had taught the lesson that it was both needless and foolishly negligent to send exposed explosives over the rough streets of a crowded city. Here we shall probably again have another 1l- lustration of that forceful saying about shutting the baru door after the Lorse las been stolenn NOW FOR THE FAIR. During the ensning week the state falr should have first place In the at- tentlon of all Nebraskans, Today and tomorrow will be devoted to the assign ment and arrangement of exhibits and on Monday the gates will be apened to visitors, The Bee has kept its readers | tully Informed regarding the progress of the preparations for what promis | to be the mest complete, attractive and suceessful exhibit of the products of Nebraska ever made and there is noth ing more to he gaid on that score. What has been accomplished we are confident will be a most | who shall visit the fair. In no western state has there ever been construeted for this purpose such fine buildings as constitute onr White City, while in the appointments necessary to the accom modation of the pubiic nothing is lack- ing. The best practical judgment and the most liberal expenditure Lave been cmployed in the work and the result will justify the lighest expeetations formed when the e fon was made to loeate the fair at Omaha, The attractions of the supplemented by others fail to afford a memorable ment to visitors, The arrangements that have been made to feast the eye i gladden tho heart of all who visit Omaha during next week assure a sea of festivi it only the boon of good weather be vouchsated, which will not soon be forgotten by those who par ticipate in it. Our eitizens p to | demonstrate that they heartily appre ciate the privilege of entertaining the thonsands of ‘visitors who are expected on this oceasion, and Omaha hospitality will be at its best, than which there is none heartier or more generous any where. Bvery Nebraskan should feel an in terest in the success of the . which as an object lesson of the resources of the state can be of great service in pro moting its welfare. It is reasonably ex- pected that the attendance will be large. but however great the number Omaha will provide accommodations for all. THOSE SEVEN THOUSAND DEMOCRATS When the Fake-Mill, in its enthusiasm for pure and undefiled democracy, prates about 7,000 democrats ratlying to the support of a democratic ciiy or county icket, it reminds one of Falstaff and his men in buckram. In the first place there not 7.000 demoerats in Omaha it every man who ever voted a demo cratie ticket was mustered into line. In the next place the democrats of this county cannot induced to andon their factional organizations even for the support of a city and county ticket. If a democratie ticket is to be nomi nated, by whom is it to be nominated? the free silver democratic committee calls a convention and nom inates a ticket, how many of the Mor- ton sound money faction will support it? Not a baker's dozen. Put it the other Suppose the adwinistration democrats attempt to father a local democratie ticket. How many fre ik verites will give it their votes? The, can be counted on the fingers of tw hands. Suppose they both unite, what show have they of electing anything or anybody this fall, with or without a citizens' ticket in the field? Without a citizens' ticket the dervishes would have a walkover, With a eitizens® ticket, to whose support thousands of democrats are already irrevocably com mitted, the 7,000 democratic men in buckram would eut a very sorry figure by the time the retu fair will be which eannot entertain son be A DECLINING INDUSTRY. At the rate at which the sheep indus try of the United States has declined during the past two years it will re quire only a few years to practically de- stroy it. This is one of the results of the present tariff law to which attention is being directed and ne section of the country has greater interest in it than the west, where sheep raising had for years been a profitable indusiry. Ac- cording to the statistics of the Depart- ment of Agriculture the number of sheep in this country in January, 18 was 47,274,000, The last bulletin of the National Association of Wool Manufac turers places the number of sheep on April 1, 18 a decline of over 7,000,000 in a period of fifteen months, the greater part of which, how- ever, took place after the present tariff went into effe industry has con- tinued to decline since last April, so that it is probable the number of sheep now in the United States does not ex- ed 35,000,000, The decline in numbers, says the New York Press, was attended and per- haps caused by a decline in value per- haps very much greater—namely, from a value of §125,900,000 in January, 1803, to a value of only $66,700,000 in 1895, “In short,” says that paper, “the farmers lhave got to lose one-half the value of their sheep before they will consent to the sacrifice of one-ninth of their num- ber. Thus, if the entire sum in gold loaned by the syndicate to the govern- ment should be presented to the farm out and out, it would no more than indemnify them for the loss sustained by them on the principal value of their sheep alone in the two years after Mr. Cleveland took office.” 1t is an interest- ing fact, stated by one of the leading wool authorities of the country, that during the chief period in which the decline tn the value of wool and of sheep in the United States oceurred, no perceptible fall has taken place in foreign wools. The sheep and wool industry of this country had attained too large pro portions when the democratic assault was made upon it by placing wool on the free list. There was estimated to have been invested in it 10,000,000 and it gave employment to perhaps a million people. A considerable part of this finvestment has been lost and thousands of people have been driven into other chaunels of labor or into idleness. Who has derived any substan. tial benefit from this result of demo- cratic legislation against an important Awerican Industry? Certainly not the American people. But foreign wool growers and British woolen manufac- turers have been very materially bene- fited. The statistics show that in the six mouths from January 1 to June 30 of this year we lwported $12,000,000 ors more of wool than we did the Iast year the republican tariff Inw was In opera- tion and that during that six months the Importations of manufactures wool were greater by over $10,000,000 than for the corresponding period of 1804 The oW and wool went losses of the sheep « of the United States | abroad and even now the woolen manu | American | | | condition of business in St. Louis and th facturers of Great thelr plants day Britain are operating and night for the market, No Dblow at our industries has Dbeen more its consequen than that domestie #erious in o8 isant surprise to all | struck at the shicep and wool industry and it has been felt with more or less severity in nearly every western state. Unfortunately there can be no relief from it in the immediate future and therefore the continued decline of this industiy is probably inevitable. ST. LOUIS AND OMAHA.

How about Omahs city depositories pay 2 treasury balances and 3 per cent oun county treasury balances. The reason they pay more interest on county than on city money s beeanse under the L they ean not receive county deposits on less than 3 per cent interest. On his school money deposits the Inte treasurer managed to get 4 per cent, of which per cent only was eredited to the school fund, It is true that during the depression consequent on the drouth the Omaha banks have been compelled to ¢ the volume of their loans and inc the reserves, while the St. Louis bank were able to continue acgommodatioms their patrons in undiminished volume.

In Omaha the per cent on city to ness LOOKING FOR EXPEDI According to Washington dispatches the secretary of the treasury is giving careful consideration to Al pro posed expedients or makeshifts for en- abling the treasury to tide over until the time shall come when receipts will balance expenditures, instead of at once providing a way to attain this condi- tion. What the president and the seere- v are manifestly anxions to do is to the neces: having any made in the tariff law in the on necessary to supply more revenue, They cannot but confess that s0 far that act has utterly led a revenue measu While it has greatly stimulated importation shown by the fact that in the six months from Tanuary 1 to June 30, 1895, the imports of manufactured goods comprised in only eight schedules were $56,000,000 greater than for the corresponding period of last year, there has been no sueh proportionate gain to the treasur But they still profess to believe, al- though there does not appear to be a substantial reason for such belief, that the law will yet be found adequate to supy 12 the government with needed revenue, and think that if some make- shift ean be devised to take the place for a time of revenue the future will bring everything out all right. This is democratic statesmanship as illustrated by the preseut administration, but it will not commend itself to the practical jndgment of the country. s known the pri seve of cipal plan of will recommend to congress is to issue tem ry certificates of indebtedness to meet deficits in the revenue, in Lis dis eretion, up to a fixed maximum. It is i 1 that if this were done it would do wuch to enable the secretary to lock up greenbacks, which he is especially anxious to do as a means of protecting the gold reserve. It is also said that by this plan a further issue of bonds could be avoided. Very likely all that is urged in behalf of this expedicat would be ‘accomplished, but still it would be only a mu and this is not what the country desires. What wounld certificates of indebtedness be but evidences of debt, only less objec. tionable than bonds because bearing a less rate of interest, for as to the time they should run that would depend upon the future condition of the revenues. If made payable at a fixed time it might be necessary to resort to another makeshift in order to take care of them. As to locking up greenback and putting out in their place an in terest-bearing certifieate, such a plan ean never be made popular. What justification can there be for recourse to these or any other financial palliatives when the simple solution of the whole dificulty is in providing for more revenue by methods which are cortain to bring the desired result. and which would be helpful to the whole people? No one is authorized to say what the next republican house of rep resentatives will be disposed to do for the relief of the treasury. That it will propose something for that purpo there ean be no doubt. But it is en tirely safe to say that it will not favor- ably consider the expedients which it is said the administration is now con sidering axd will probably recommend. The Pennsylvania democrats have gone to the trouble to nominate a state ticket with candidates for every oflice to be filled this year.

The live stock peoptd' hre already realizing this situation, a¥ wust also the manufac- trers, It 1s not necessary to reflect upon either the integrity or ecapacity of Hon. Edward C. Burns of Dodge county to say that his appointment as state weigh- master under the provisions of the sugar bounty bill passed by the late legisla- ture Is very illadvised and untime Mr. Burps was a member of the body that enacted the law creating the office which he oceupies. He himself, if not the author, was at least active in the promotion of the measure. In accept- ing this appointment, therefore, we have a member of the legislature taking o salaried position which to all intents and purposes he created for himself. Mr. Burns doubtless relies upon a tech nicality to avold coming within the con stitutional iuhibition.

And as England is especially and rightly proud of what she can do on salt wator, American patriotism finds a special satisfaction in taking the pride out of her.
