There is no prospect, how- ever, of reducing the passenger rates when the speed I8 slowed down. M. B, The rallroads have another excuse in the Elkins law to turn down applica- tions for free transportation and half- fare permits, but they will doubtless find a way to grant favors when they really want to. It is to be hoped that the new-come evangelist will not attempt to achieve special notoriety by proclaiming Omaha to be the wickedest city in the world Each of his predecessors took out a copyright on that. E— With a standard bearer carrying the good old Scotch name of Graeme Stew- art as the republican candidate for mayor in Chicago there ought to be a gathering of the clans such as has not been seen before in the World's fair eity. E— It will not take a soothsayer to tell what comment Colonel Bryan will pass on the latest announcement of Grover Cleveland that he is out of politics for good. Mr. Bryan will insist that every one else knew that long ago and that Mr. Cleveland could not get back into politics if he tried. The witness who stirred up such a muss as instigator of the Lessler bribery charges a few months ago has been de. clared insane. He must have been crazy in the first place it he imagined he could do a brokerage business In coungressional votes without a big bank roll for his capital. GEm————— The remark of the Chicago Chronicle that “whether right or wrong, the mi- nority in the senate will cease to be ridiculous from the hour that Mr. Gor- man resumes control of its action,” is bardly intended as a bouquet for the departing Jones of Arkansas, who has Just vacated the place for Senator Gor- man. p—— The south does not ke kindly to the proposition emanating from the Wiscon- Mn legislature for a national conference ’ the negro problem and retorts that there is no negro problem the south :annot solve If only let alone. Such an- sywers are significantly reminiscent of. the southern attitude to the slavery uestion before the war. S The injunction Issued at St. Louls to prevent scalpers from dealing in excur- von tickets sold on account of the Lou- siana Purchase exposition, coming as t does In the wake of the Wabash itrike injunction, suggests that if the wallropds down there want anything UNE FICTION EXPLODED. The Bartley Investigation may not have gotten very far at its first session, but it succeeded In exploding one fiction in which justification has been sought for the looting of the state treasury. The principal plea for sympathy for Bartley from the time the shortage was uncovered has been that he did not go wrong deliberately, but that he himself had been the vietim of a viclous system handed down for years by successive treasurers. ‘The injpression was assidu- ously spread that the shortage left by Bartley was inherited by him and that the contents of the mysterious cigar box included cat and dog securities for state money farmed out before Bartley took charge of the treasury. “How could Bartley be held responsible, asked, “for funds charged against him when he did not recelve the money rep- resented on the books when he assumed office 7" The testimony of ex-Treasurer Hill should put an end for all time to this sort of apologies for Bartley’s misdofngs. Ex-Treasurer Hill has declared under oath that in his settlement on turning over the office to Bartley there were no I. 0. U's. or other evidences of private indebtedness used to square the ac- count. According to Mr. Hill, Bartley accepted nothing outside of cash items but certificates of deposit in established banks and, so far as he knows, every one of these certificates, with possibly one exception, was not only recognized but paid out. The viclous system, therefore, of farming out the state funds for private gain, if it existed, was not passed on to Bartley, but was re- sumed by him of his own accord. If there were any beneficiaries of his de- faleation besides himself they do not date back previous to his incumbency of the office. It Is well that this matter has been cleared up, for it & important in view of the reckless manner in which assertions have been flouted of an Inherited short- age in the treasury shouldered by Bart- ley out of good-heartedness to relieve others who might have been held for it. ———— GORMAN AS A LEADER. The resumption by Senator Gorman of Maryland of the leadership of the demo- crats in the United States senate, to which he was unanimously chosen, is a political incident of conmsiderable inter- est and significance. The senate demo- crats have had no real leader since Mr. Gorman was formerly in that body and the fact that there was no-opposition to his selection was a recognition of his fitness fully justified by his past service. He 1s a man of ability, particularly shrewd as a parllamentary tactician and political strateglst. While not dis- tinguished for statesmanship, Gorman is a sagacious observer of the trend of public opinion and will not lead the democrats of the senate into any very grhve mistakes. He may be expected to restrain ‘some of the democrats whose course has wenkened the claim of thelr party to popular confidence and conduct the minority in more sober and sensible ways than have recently been pursued. It is presumed that Senator Gorman will play a prominent part in shaping democratic policy for next year's na- tional campaign and will exert no in- considerable influence in determining who the candidate shall be. He has been suspected of aspiring to the presi- dency, but apparently he is not being seriously thought of as a possible candi- date and it is probable that he will make no effort to secure the nomination, but may have a good deal to say as to who shall be the man. It is pretty safe to predict that he will not advocate a re- affirmation of the Kansas, City platform or counsel the nomination of any sup- porter of that declaration. His effort will doubtless be to make it possible for the conservative demograts to control the next natfonal convention and shape the party issues. Srm———— THE FINANCIAL OUTLOUK, Just at the opening of the spring busi- ness there is a general interest in mer- cantile circles as to the finaneial out- look. The chief concern of business men at this time is in regard to the condition, present and future, of the money warket, and most Intelligent manufacturers and merchants are giv- ing more attention to this than the pos- sibilities of trade. In respect to the lat- ter the conditions appedr to be as favor- able as at any time for ‘several years, or since the beginning of the period of prosperity. The wage earners of the puntry are fully employed and very generally are receiving better wages than ever before. The accumula- tlons of the people have been steadily growing and as a whole they are much better off than at any previous time. The agricultural produc- ers, also, are in better financial condi- tion than ever before. The facts war- raut the expectation that the consump- tion of all commodities will not de- crease, but should rather be larger than heretofore, So far as general trade is concerned. therefore, the outlook appears most promising. There is now required, how- ever, more money than formerly to con- duct business and the question with manufacturers and merchants s whether the supply of currency will be equal to the demand. There is some ap- sse in the line of judiclal writs they ~ill be forthcoming without question or lelay. While the Board of Education is re- rising its rules it should take steps for the abelition of the secret ballot in the sectlon of school officers and employes. Every member of the board should be xady to go on record on every official wetion, and the people have a right to tnow how their representatives are dis- sharging the dutles entrusted to them. Che secret ballot In a representative sody is too often simply a cover for rowards and boodlers. prehension on this score. It is stated that In eastern financial circles there is some anxiety about thé situafion and 8 good deal of casting about for meas- ures of relief. It is probable that this feeling Is chiefly among the speculators. A prominent flnancial paper remarks that “it is because the fact is generally recognized that domestic tradé’ is ther- oughly Impregnated with the spirit of speculation, and that our present for- elgn indebtedness represents, in very large measure, the stock market de- signs of one of the most audaclous coteries of inflationists of which history furnishes us any record, that the advent THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, of the spring demand Is awaited with such keen anxiety In the money mar- ket.” That journal further says that there has been an over-extension of credit, which is undoubtedly the case, thoug'. there is reason to think that this has not reached the point of seri- ous danger. There has been within the Iast six ‘months a conservative tendency In the matter of credits and it is doubt- less true that in this respect the situa- tion is better now than it was a year ago. It is manifestly important that the banks of the country shall continue to observe a careful and conservative pol- fey In this particular and especially that they should avold encouraging specu- lation in any respect. The steady accumulation of eurrency in the national treasury is a somewhat disturbing circumstance and it Is per- haps unfortunate that congress tailed to give authority to the secretary of the treasury to employ a larger portion of the surplus for the rellef of the money market than he can now do. Still this may be found a less serious difficulty than is now feared. Much will depend upon the policy of the national banks, which it is to be expected will be dic- tated by wise consideration for the financial and business welfare of the country. — UPPUSITION TO TREATY. There is ¢tonsiderable opposition in Cuba to the reciprocity treaty with this country. This was voiced in a late &peech in the Cuban congress, a senator declaring that reciprocity was not neces- sary to the progress of the new republic and pointed out that statements which had been made in regard to the miser- les of Cuba were exaggerated to influ- ence the reciprocity movement; that as a matter of fact “the Cuban sugar pro- ducers were better off than those in the United States.” He declared that this country would always need Cuban sugar and that the terms of the Brussels con- vention were certain to benefit Cuba during the coming five years. Utterances of this kind may have no great effect upon the Cuban people, but they are not unlikely to have some with the opponents of the reciprocity treaty in the Unlted States senate, whose strength is not now definitely known. It is undoubtedly a fact that there has been some exaggeration in the statements re- garding conditions in the new republic, but it is doubtful if that country can make satisfactory Industrial and com- mercial progress without having closer commercial relations with the United States. The question for American de- termination 1s as to how far this inti- macy can be carried without results in- Jurious to our own industries with which the staple products of Cuba compete, The petition from Richardson county taxpayers asking their representatives In the leglslature to vote for a measure applying the principle of local assess- ment of rallroad property for municipal taxation shows that the demand for this legislation is not confined to Omaha and Lincoln, but would be general it the people throughout the state only understood the question in all its beur- ings. By the same means by which the raliroads shirk municipal taxation of their terminals in Omaha they are evad- ing the payment of city taxes on thelr property in all the citles and towns In the state without paying a single cent more in taxes in the rural districts. Public sentiment will enforce the equal taxation of rallroads with other prop- erty as soon as it has time to crystallize. President Ellot's declaration that “eastern men seem to get ‘hings done and accomplish their purposes quicker than western ‘men" will be. promptly challenged.” As a matter of fact, Presi- dent Eliot's -ability to judge is decid- edly open to question, inasmuch as he himself is hemmed in by the provincial- Ism of New England, which refuses to see anything praiseworthy beyond its own boundaries. When it comes to a test by measuring up achievements of eastern men and western men, the west need have no fear of the result. ——— Wyoming will have the prodigious number of six delegates in the next re- publican national convention. If the public land grabbers should be able to mdnipulate them against President Roosevelt out of spite for his stand in favor of the preservation of the public domain for actuil settlers there would still be no great harm done. But the land grabbers will not have the whole say so. No one will take exceptious to the ac- tion of the new police board In peremp- torily dismissing an officer on proved charges of drunkenness and overindul- gence in profane language. How the board can reconcile its severity with new offenders, however, with the favors shown old offenders dismissed for like causes by previous boards and now re- Instated in spite of their bad records is incomprehensible. e —— The latest contribution to the national treasury as a mite toward the conscience fund consists of a gold watch, trans- mitted with the information that the money pald for it is considered by the sender more than he owes the govern- ment. The next thing Secretary Shaw will be finding pawn tickets in his con- science fund mail with an invitation for Uncle Sam to redeem the pledges. — It seems that the Cuban senate Is by no means unanimous in support of the Cuban reciprocity treaty, those opposing it questioning whether the treaty gives Cuba any advantage it does not already enjoy commensurate with the conces- sions it grants. If the Cubans are not sure that they want the treaty, is it any wonder some of our Amerlcan people are also in doubt. Don't Monkey with It. Chicago Inter Ocean. Prot.

Improving the Farmers Topeka Journal Three factors are at work through many of the agricultural districts of the cbun- try to break through the shell of com- servatism which bas so long enveloped the farmers as a class—one, the telephone; another, the rural mail delivery, and the third and not least, the advent of the daily paper in his home. Heretofore he hi been at least a week removed from the stirring events of the day and so failed to take an interest in the world’s work that the man does who is in daily touch with it. The change wrought by these agencies is becoming very manifest and is wholly in the line of making the farmer a broader and more Intelligent man. Profit from Franchises, Pittsburg Despatch. A striking example of the successful ap- plication of the principle of disposing of public utility franchises by competitive bidding 1s reported from Manila, where Pittsburg capital has just secured the right to construct an electric street rail- way system and to transmit light and power. The Pittsburg company, in the face of keen competition, won by offering to pay 2% per cent of the gross receipts for the privileges granted. The news provokes comparison with' the manner of glving away public franchises in vogue in most American cities. 1f a corporation opera ing traction, light and power plants in a city llke Manila can afford to pay 2% per cent upon the gross receipts for a fitty-year franchise the conclusion 1s ir- resistible that a much greater return should be obtained for the vastly more profitable enterprises at home. Physicians of the Merry Heart. Baltimore American. The people of Baltimore will have an an opportunity in the near future to see the funny men of the various great news- papers of the country. In May this city will be the scene of a quiet and orderly conventfon of eerfous men who write humor.

Just now there is much speculation as to who bought a “sewing set” for $3.75 and a fashion book. Members of the house who use $55 bootblack stands are having much amusement over the sewing set item in the secretary's report. All the articles mentioned in Secretary Bennett's report are paid for out of the contingent fund of the senate. After drinking 682 cases of mineral waters the senate still had a thirst, for there are items of seventy boxes of lemons and elght barrels of granulated sugar for making lemonade. Some of the mysteries of the committee rooms are unvelled by the secretary's re- port, which shows that twelve packs of playing cards and two domino sets were bought for senators during the last fiscal year. It is now known why senators walk off in pairs when a long speech is begun. Some senator had bought for his use a jewel case, and another got a palr of rubber boots, and a third ordered sawdust, cork- screws, knives and a Gibson calendar.
