The rush of hogs to market last sum- mer when the producers were fright- ened over the corn crop Is telling on the present. For some time hog re- celpts have shown a decrease from a similar period last year, but the indica- tlons are for a return to normal con- ditions. A call for a democratic ratification meeting asks all the falthful “to make an effort to be on hand loaded with en- thusiasm.” The average Omaha dem- ocrat who attends these meetings usually expects to he londed with some thing else before the meeting adjourns.

In the matter of the increase of na tional banks and of bank eclrculation the currency legislation of last year has been most amply justified. Under this law there have been organized 715 banks, more than two-thirds of them wWith a capital of less than £50,000, thus conclusively demonstrating how great was the need for leglslation authorizing the organization of banks with less capital than was required by the orig- inal law. The result is that many com- munities which before did not have banking facilities now possess them. In the southern and western states 322 banks have been organized under the lnw of March 14, 1900, the greatest demand for edditional banking faelll- rency. The New York ening Post urges that what is first of all needed 18 the repeal of the requirement of hond-deposit security for the issue of national bank notes. This I8 rendered inevitable in any case, it remarks, by the payment of the national debt. It may be doubted, however, whether that provision of the law will be repealed at present. As a secondary measure the Post thinks the repeal of the pro- vislons forbidding branches of national banks is need We cannot see what reasonable objection can be this, The Post regards as the fn our system the lack of a credit e ren. farmers of the that if this be v supplying that worked out ount and it suggests wedied the detafls of irrency will be speedily There 18 not a great de needed to make our currency system as nearly perfect as is attainable and this should be supphied by the coming CONRress, THE CORPORATION UNINJURED. he strike of the steel w s, it appears, did no actual injury to the steel corporation, whatever incon- venience it may have caused. rd ing to the Pittsburg correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce at no time was the outpnut of the cor poration reduced more than one-seventh, While the stocks on hand were being reduced, the necessities of the custom were growing more imperative and the chances of maintaining prices were steadily improving. The correspondent expresses the opinfon that the corporn- tion made enough more on the 24,000 tons it was dally producing to meet the loss on the 4,000 tons which It was unable to make. Practically all of this 4,000 tons it will make In the com ing few months, so that on the whole its loss of business will be very small and the market has been well held up for it The men engaged in the strike, on the other hand, sustained an actusl losg, amounting in the aggregate to a very considerable sum, which they can- not recover and for which they reallzed no bewefit or advantage whatsoever, he wages they lost I8 a permanent loss and In addition to this they ma terially weakened their assoclation and | their influence as a part of organized labor. Thus this conflict hetween or ganized capital and organized labor offers a lesson which all workingm should study. It should suggest to them the folly of engaging in strik without having the best and strongest reasons for doing so and then only after every reasonable and honorable effort has been made for a peaceable settlement of difference A TRUST OBJECT LESSON. The recent collapse in copper, follow- ing the reduction of the dividend pald by the Amalgamated Copper company, an object lesson which in- vestors in Industrial securities will do well to consider. It was not altogether unexpected. The depression in Europe, the declining exports of American cop- per and consequent inevitable accumu- lation of American copper stocks, fore- shadowed more or less serious disturb- ance in the warket, but the collapse was rather more sharp than had been apprehended. The Amalgamated Cop- per company was supposed to be one of the strongest of the industrial combina tlonw. 1t was organized when the cop- per trade was exceptionally prosperous and the outlook for its continued pros- perity seemed’ most favorable. belleved to have almost unlimited tinan- cial OUTCOR, According to the United States In vestor, however, the project has in all its stages proved to be one of the most barvefaced schemes on record, “lts ve audacity ve that Journal, “seemed to make It attractive In the eyes of a large number of Investors. Fhe dis ingenuousness of the scheme was clearly apparent at the start, the char- acter of the men who promoted it was well known and there could be no gues tion of its utter futility from the purely economic standpoint.” Yet the stock sold readily on the representation that the price would ultimately go to 200, As a matter of fact it went, after a short spurt, below par, where it re- malned for a long time, but eventually it was worked up to about 120, The mpany acquired control of many com- peting copper mines and its capitaliza tlon was made $150,000,000-perhaps at least three times what it legitimately should be, The company, says the Investor, is the blindest kind of & blind pool; no data have ever been furnished whereby the true condition of the concern could be figured out. Whether or not the divi- dends it has pald were earned no one outside a small coterle knows. The promoters failed to do what they repre- sented they were going to do in the way of restricting the output and waln- taining the price of copper.

But it seems to me you are altos gether too harsh in your criticism of the delegates from the Seventh and Ninth wards whom you charge with treachery and betrayal of their constituents. You must know that all is fair fn war and poli- ties. You must know also that it is coms mon for politiclans to make trades, to nomi- which would be available to the \nate their candidates even it they have te sacrifice other interests for the time. SEVENTH WARD REPUBLICAN, All may be fair in war and politics, but there is a broad line of demarcation which no honest or honorable man will 0ss, It is fair In war and politics to win out hy a ruse or by strategy, but the soldier who violates his parole is re garded as no better than a deserter, and an army officer who hreaks his word of honor to friend or foe is forever after despised and held in contempt by his fellow office All may be fair in war among savages who fight with poisoned weapons and | do not seruple to torture or butcher wounded captives and defenseless women and childre but efvilized ar mies do not conntenance such warfare, ley protect the prisoner of war, re spect the sign of truce and refrain from | firing on buildings that display the hos pital tlag. The same rule of conduct obtains in politics when earried on by honorable wmen. Falsehood, deceit and treachery are not among the legitimate weapons | with which political battles can be won without the inevitable penalty sure to follow in time, Measured by that standard The Bee's riticism of the delegates that repre- sented the Seventh and Ninth wards in the recent republican convention is none too harsh. 1t is certainly not too s¢ vere so far as it relates to their inex- isable betrayal of thelr constituents whom they voted to disfranchise in all future conventions. It & extremely mild as regards the delegation of the Seventh ward in view of the deliberate violation of thelr word | of honor pledged by thelr authorized | steerlng committee in the interest of | Judge Vinsonhaler and in his presence, They did not make these pledges under coerclon, but proposed their own terms and made their ag ments on thei voluntary word of hono Although it has been represented in palliation of the offense that the agrec- ment made by them was conditional, the truth is that no other condition was proposed or imposed than the renomi- natlon of Judge Vinsonhaler by accla mation. With deceit on their lips and treachery in their hearts, and never in tending to carry out in good faith their own proposals, these men did not have even the decency to serve notlee on the parties whom they had confidenced that they repudiated the compact. Can any criticism too harsh be passed on such reprehensible conduct? County Treasurer Elsasser has pub- lished another monthly exhibit of the whereabouts of the county funds, coupled with this declaration: “I de- sire to reiterate that 1 do uot make this statement in compliance with the demand of the vepublican state plat form. 1 realize, however, that there exists a general sentiment in favor of the custodians of public funds taking the people into thelr confidence,” If Mr. Elsasser was not forced or coaxed into taking the public into his confi- dence by the demand of the republican state convention, why did be Lold back twenty months before he made response to the general sentiment?

Reapect for Law the Remedy. Indianapolis News We have in this country many people— none of whom are Americans In the tech- nical sense—who think that liberty con- sists wholly in doing what ome likes, and who are in constant intellectual rebellion against all authority.

There 18 Indeed no way to escape from it, for the law when violated avenges itself some- times in the most terrible fashion. The Presidential Belt. Springfeld Republican With the exeeption of Andrew Johnson every president since 1856 has come from the short group of states which follow from New York to Illinois, inclusive. These five states—New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois—run in a line side by side. New York has furnished Arthur. Cleveland and Roosevelt; Pennsylvania, Buchanan; Ohlo, Hayes, Garfield and Mc- Kinley; Indiapa, Harrison, and Illinois. Lincoln and Grant. It may now be fairly called the presidential belt, and it seems almost hopeless for anyone who lives ont- side of it to become president of the United States. EDITORIAL S, Washington Star: Perhaps it may be just as well to withhold our judgment until Admiral Schley's witnesses are heard. Minneapolis Times: The records show that it is & good deal more dangerous to be connected with the Schley court of in- quiry than it was to be present at the bat- tle of Santiago. Really, the fatality con- nected with that court is becoming appal- ling. Chicago News: Having experienced such Il luck with the messages which it tried to have delivered by naval officers during the Spanish war, the Navy department henceforth, when it has matters of impor- tance to communicate, should ring up a messenger boy. Philadelphia North American: Although most of the department’s witnesses have manifested a desire to discredit the cour age and judgment of Schley, they have suc ceeded mainly in revealing thelr own negli- gence, and in some cases deliberate dls- obedience of orders. The most Important information was withheld from the com- mander of the squadron by the scout cap- tains ar completely and consistently as if there had been a conspiracy of subordinates to embarrass him by concealing the where- abouts of the Spanish fleet Portland Oregoniau: The army is said to g0 on its belly, the navy on its bunkers. The one is helpless when cut off for any length of time from its base of supplies, the other is worse than helpless either for offensive or defensive actlon when caught without a suficlent supply of coal. To prevent this possible calamity seems to have been the purpose of Admiral Schley when in charge of the flying squadron dur- ing the last days of May, 1805. With this end in view he (at the present stage of the inquiry) seems to have used his own judg- ment and disobeyed orders. Perhaps he was justified in his course. The results at the time were accepted as convincing proof of his assumption. The whole country is waiting anxiously for his side of the story. Indianapolis News: The sessions of the board of inquiry are bringing out testimony that is not calculated to increase the re- spect of the public for our naval oficers. The country has freely indul, in the delusion that they are calm, precise, ac- curate and as steady as a clock, especially in times of actual hostilitles, but ofcers come upon the stand and dispute the logs, the official charts and differ in their esti- mates of distances, state of the sea and weather and other conditions In a way that 18 hard to explain or understand. For instance, Rear Admiral Higginson, Com- mander Harper and Captain McCalla testify that Admiral hley maintained a blockade at Santiago, at about two miles from shore, while other officers, including Admiral Evans, state positively that Schley held his fleet at about seven miles from shore lnn the daytime und even farther away at night, What is the average wad to think?
