[ A S s RETIREMENT OF GREENBACKS. The New York demoeratie platform de- | {elares for the gradual retirement and extinetion of the greenback curreney and favors n state bank eurrency ||i has recently been reported that the banking interests in New York have or- | ganized a4 movement looking to the re tirement of the greenbacks, and it is |said that one of the first steps in the movement is to collect the legal tender N Inotes in sufficient amount so as to be [able to turn them Into the treasury at | the right time without cont eting the currency when it should not be con- | |tracted, and to contract it, perhaps, at the present time, when it would do no | harm. It I8 said to be a fact that the | A i | grecnbaeks are slowly getting into fewer lands and the natural inf from this is that there is a con Ve ment looking to a pr con gress, through the treasury, for legisla- tion authorizing the retirement of th portion of the currency. It is suggested that there is a combination of castern bankers behind this movement, and it | would seem that they have been succe ful, with the help of the administration, | in indueing (he democrats of New York | to approve the plan. It ix well understood that President Cleveland and Seeretary Curlisle will ;n mmend to the Fifty-fonrth cong rence d npon legistation for the retivement of the grecubacks. Both of them are of the | opinion that this I8 necessary to the re 1y retary of the treasury are alred record in favor of this, and their con munications to the coming congress will undoubtedly urge it more vigorously than ever. Tt is not probable, however, that the republican house will seriously such a recommendation, for voral reasons. In the first place, the | retirement of the greenbacks would be very uapopular. A very large majority of the people are perfe satisfied with that portion of the cur .« which costs them nothing and is e where as good 15 gold. In the second j in order o retire the greenbacks, so long as the government Las no surplus revenue, it | wonld be necessary 1o issue interest bearing bonds, and in any event their | retivement would cause a contraction of the enrrency, the effect of which would be damaging to busine In the third . the advocates of retiring the snbacks are also in favor of a state | bank curreney and would repeal the tax on such curreney and open the way to a zenernl system of note issues by state banks which would ultimately give the on | conside country, there is reason to be lieve, & 1 of kinds of paper money that would utterly demoralize the finances of the country. From the resumption of specie pa, ments in 1879 down to two years ago the United States legal tender notes caused the government no tronble. Tt is only in recent years that they have heen used to draw gold out of the treasury and the reasons for this are obvious. 8o long s the receipts of the government exceeded expenditure: nd gold was freely paid into the treasury for customs the legal tender notes were not trouble- some. They were not presented for re- demption to an amount that caused the treasury any embarrassment, Restore the conditions that prevailed before 1803 and there will be no necessity for retir- ing the greenback: Twenty years ago the democratic party was the champion of the green- back. Now it wants that portion of the currency retived in order to make a place for state bank issues. The repub- lican party has always stood by the greenback, which it made as good as old, and it will continue to do so. OUR NEIGHBOR REPUBLIC, Through the enterprise of the Associ- ated press the American people are be- ing furnished with daily information of events in the neighbor republic of Mex ico and the effect of this cannot fail to be favorable to both countries, between which there is a common and growing interest. The progress that is being made in the material development of Mexico ought to command the atten- Americans, because there is presented there a field for the profit- e investment of American and one which we should seek to avail of in anticipation of Kuro- peans, who are fully alive to the op tion of prople ourselves portunities offered. Mexico is a coun- try of splendid vesources, which ar but in the beginuing of development, and there is no reason why Ameriean capital and enterprise should not play a large part in the future progr of that republic. Under the wise and statesmanlike ad- ministration of P'resident Diaz Mexico is making progre in all directions. An important reform which has just re- ceived the approval of one branch of the congress and will undoubtedly be adopted take from the states and municipalities the right to tax merchandise entering or in transit throngh their respective jurisdictions, In other words, it is proposed to amend the constitution so to prohibit the states from laying local duties for the ostensible purpose of protecting local industries and to I all interstate proposes to as duties, thus adopting the policy of the United States. The framework of the government of the Me: 1 republic was modeled upon that of this country, but there were some changes and omissions and of the latter one of the most important was the failure to in sert the limitations wpon the taxing power of the states which are in our constitution. The system of taxation prevailed when Mexico was under Spauish domination was retained, with slight modifications. Experience has shown the folly and the disadvantagoes of this policy and now it is proposed to abandon it and establish complete free trade between the states, lodging with the general government the ox clusive power to levy import duties. As the dispatches say, this will be & most radical reform fraught and it will be with vast impertance to the general welfare and to national interests in Mexico, and will very likely lead to better trade relations with other eoun- | various no people can they have grenter in- for torest than the peopls of this conntry, THOSE TELL-TALE EXHIBITS, If the taxpayers and citizens of Omaha have not had their eyes opened to the sross neglect of duty and incompetenc has per ted the nptroller's office and the systematic looting of th treasury by the late enstodian of public funds with the connivance of the men who were chiarged with the supervision of city and school finances, the exhibits which The Bee has recently made and now complotes will certainly accomplish that result. No rational person will contend that such a state of affair could possibly have existed for years withont the knowledge and comnnivance of the men who have had access to the treasurer's records and must have been informed concerning the flagrant dis crepancies between the balances in th funds and the interest Dbearing deposits in designated ety de- positorie It remains attempt another explanation how $35° 090 of city money which by law should city for Comptroller Olsen to have been deposited in the six desig nated national banks could be irans formed into alleged school money and placed fn banks to the personal account of the treasurer without his knowledg: or assent. It remains also for ex- Acting City Attorney Cornish to revise his famous letter to Mayor Bemis in which he dismisses as tritling what he is pleased to eall the irregularities ex-Treasurer Bolln and glosses over { inconsequential the almost criminal neg ligence of Comprroller Olsen. These things are brought to public notice by The ¢ not in oa spirit of vindietive persecution but in the fear- less discharge of the duty which every honest newspaper owes to the commi v in which it is published. Never in the history of Omaha has there boer such prenounced sud opon conniv on the part of public otlicials, couneil men, attorneys and members of the school board with systematic embe went, defalention and mony cality. It simply passes compreliension that the city council ias not even a vote of censure upon the derelict offi- cers, and the school board has exhibited no concern in the recovery of the me lawlessly diverted from the school fund. Such n shameful state of affairs eonld not be conceived except upon the theory that the eathbound dark lantern order, of which the Inw-breaking officials der. KENTUCKY FOR CARLISLE.
