It is an ideal condition whose feasibility awaits demonstra- tion in this city.

He secks to justify himself because of the fact that he demanded of Bolln permission to check up his books aund met with repeated vebuffs, He went back to his office and submitted to the in- evitable. What is wanted is a man in the office of comptroller who will as- sert his rights against all odds and who, when any city omticial blocks him, will make a report to the city council set- ting up the fact that a head of depart ment has declined to permit the comp- troller to do his duty.

The cur which Seere lisle would have retived the greenback The first issne of these notes was i ihirty-three year and subsequently the amount was ased, until the total, as Mr. Carlisle states, veached SIS2,000,000. A portion of them vetired and th outstanding were made redecmable gold by the act that went into effect January 1, 1879 From that date down to 1803, a period of fourteen years, the cansed no embarrassment arise wis in to the freas ury. They were ravely, during those years, prosented inany considerable quantities for redemption and never to an extent sofficient to cause any trouble to the treasury or any such distrust, apprebension and disturbance as Seere- tary Carlisle describes as the result of demands on the gold reserve. When the treasury stopped its long-maintained policy of settling balances with the New York banks in gold and the banks inted by refusing to pay out 1d for customs duties then the greenbacks begun to be a of embarrass- ment to the treasury. Formerly the government and the banks maintained a close relationship in this matter, souree Their operations were helpful to each other o far as the movement of gold was concerned. Under that condition of affairs the United Ssates legal tender notes were never a source of embarrass- ment or anxiety and served their pur- o as a part of the eurrency without the least trouble in any direction. That condition it is practicable to renew it it shall be done there will be se for retiving the greenbacks. oxcl The withdrawal of these notes is un- doubtedly the cardingd feature of the administration’s enrreney policy, but what plan it has for doing this i yet to be disclosed. The country is yet to be informed what it shall be done to provide for the con traction which the retivement of these notes would cause, though it is pretty safe to conjecture that state bank issues are contemplated. Neither of the: ns is likely to be seriously considered the republican The intelli gent popular sentiment of the country is not in favor of retiving the green and it Vel more stron allowing state banks to issue except under the most stringent governmental supervision and regulation. Tt is apparent that nothing «ceptable to the conntry in the way of currency reform is to be expected from, the present administration, Proposes house, is ¢ backs against IN BEHALF OF WALLER. A number of prominent men have publicly interested themselves in the case of Ex-Consul Waller, with a view to urging the government ater activity. cently little has been heard of the ease and while it is to be pre- sumed that the secretary of state still has it in mind and that the anthorities at Washington ave simply waiting a reasonable time to hear from the French government, the friends of the fmpris- oned man and those who regard him as a vietim of injustice appear to think sary to spur up the govern- ment. > It has been suggested that the French government having accomplished the conquest of Mads i may feel bette disposed to comply with the demands of our government in hehalf of Waller While the Hovas retained possession of their capital and while every mail brought news of the ravages of disease and death among the troops, the posi- tion of the French ministry was too to & 180 eriti 1o permit any action that would seem to the vision of national vanity like n concession to a forelgn power. Now. however, with the flag of Frau ely waving over Madagascar, with no danger, at least for the present, that Waller or anybody else can obtain rights or privileges there which France is not willing to concede, it is thought probable that the French government may, under a little further press from our government, relent toward the American citizen whom it has Impris- oned, and if not giving him his free- dom, at any rate accord to him a new trial as to the fairness of which there can be no controversy. Certainly the purpose of the citizens who have int ested themselves in the cuse will have the approval and support of the whole Ameriean people, to whom Waller pa tiently and hopefully looks to him justice, There is no reason to believe that our government has become indifferent to the case. It has tuken a decided stand sec secure regarding it from which it caunot re- code without loss of dignity.

Can the citizens of O1 longer remain indifferent to such mis- rule? Will th extend the lease of power of this dangerous combine simply becanse it appeals to them for support in the name of the republican party, which it has dis graced?

When a man asks the citizens of Omaha to make him custodian of the city treasury the fi question that presents itself is, Can he be' trusted? Is he n of undoubted integrity? Has he ever been tried: in a responsi- ble position and, if, so, has he proved true to his trust? Second only in importance to this is the question, the man eapable to discharge the duties of the office to which he aspir Has he ever had any experence in handling layge sums of money and ean he be depended on to condnet the treasury upon business prineiples? Or is he to be a mere wehead, dependent entively upon deputies and cler ud at all times at their merey in the accounting and bursement of the public funds? Apply theses tests to A, . Bdwards, the so-called republican eandidate for ity treasurer, and what do we find? Mr. Edwar cured bis first prom inence in Omaha politics as one of the notorions Twenty-eighters. He went into the city convention as a delegaie from the Ninth ward and voted 267 times for W. .. Broateh for mayor. Together with his fellow delegates he cticipated in the memorable Lininger banquet while ¢ ing a knife in his bootleg for the candidate of his party, 1o whose support he publicly pledged himself, Condoning Lis offense, the republicans of Omaha eleeted him a member of the council four s ago, and re- elected him two years ago, although his conduet during his first term had by no means been above reproach. No sooner had he been re-elected, and be- fore his first term had expired, Mr. Edwards threw off all reserve and openly joined the boodle gang. When the fifty-year franchise ordinance wias before the council he was one of its most active supporters. With Isane S. Hascall he voted to take snap judg- ment on the veto of Mayor Bemis by slamming the doors of the chamber in the of the v. At every step of that fran- chise fight he was with the gang, and only yielded when the courts and Mayor Bemis had succeeded in bring- ing the gas company to terms that saved the city not less than $1,500,000. The same reckless disregard of the city's interests has marked the council- manie ecaveer of M Edwards ev since. His vote is recorded in favor of jobs and steals and bogus claims of every deseription. Whenever Mayor Bemis has interposed a veto to con- tractors’ rapacity he has yoted to oyer- ride it. He secured the presidency of the couneil through the corrupt activity of favored contractors and 1= tions, and has used that position at every turn for the promotion of their schemes and jobs and against the in- terests of the taxpaye When the Bolln defaleation was un- coverad wards was one of those who lusisted on keeping an embezzler in. charge of the eity treasury.

As to Mr. Bdwards' lack of eapacity for the { position of treasurer, a great deal might e said, but it is hardly necessary to discuss it. A man who has betrayed lis trust as councilman is totally untit to be city treasurer. Is Speaking of the decision of the fed cral conrt adverse to the claims of the federal governmment in the case ainst the Stanford estate, the Chicago Inter- Ocean, as was only to be expected of a paper that regularly stands up for the corporations, ¢ that the suit was unjust and unfounded to the verge of absurdity, and one that ought never to have been brought. The reason it was absurd s that it rested on a statute never intended for any such purpose. How does the Inter-Ocean know . that the statute under which the suit was brought was never intended for any such purpose? If it was not intended to cover just such a ease as the looting of the Cent Pacitic for the benefit of the owners of the Southern Pacifie, for W was it intended? It is quite pos sible that the courts may hold that the zovernment has 1o rights as against the Stanford estate, but whether they do or not it is the duty of the govern- ment to prosecute its claim to the very highest appellate jurisdiction. Grand Master Sweeney of the Switch- men's union expresses pardonable pride in the fact that the'union has not yet had strike and that it proceeds on the principle that more is to be gained by arbitration thiin by striking.

Whether he 1s on the active or retired list makes no Aif. ference. In the case of Captain Armes all the requirements of the situation would have been fulfilled by the issuance of an order putting him under military arrest pre- paratory to trial by court martial Springfleld (Mase) Republican: Judgo Bradley of the supreme court of the District of Columbia set forth principles in his ruling on the Armes case which ought to be fol- lowed in all cases of arrest for breach of military or naval discipline, whether they are in practice or not. It seems plain enough that arrests should never be arbitrarily made, or for the gratification of the indignation or offended dignity of the superior officer ordering them, or in any case where the nds of discipline can be attained without, and it was because the arrest of Armes ap- peared to him to bo uanecessary for these purposes that Jndge Bradley ordered the former discharged, and sharply rebuked Gon= eral Schofield. If this rule were applied to all military arrests it is hard to see whereln discipline would be weakened, for no of- fender would be in any better condition than now to escape punishment, while martinets and hot-tempered officers would be under & restraint which, it is to be feared, is not always felt at present. There may be good reasons, not apparent on the surface to the civilian, why the military authorities should desire to have the ruling of Judge Bradley set aside, but it would seem that good sense, Now Judge Bradley's opinion did not officer familia n if not the law, was on his side, — ————— AUTUNMN SMILES, Chicago Tribune: 1 admit some of the stories about me are true,” said th microbe, “but T didn't go Into this business in pursuit of health.” “Let us steal s to his pal Philac mutte grabb Iphia Recorc the burglar 1 a pair of scs “Do you remember, Julian, why the poor St. Sebastian ' full of arrows *ause they hadn't any gun erville Journal: “Well, that heats me!"” mused the mule sadly as he turned his head around slowly and took a long look at the driver's stick.
