Not Georgia's Private Affair. Governor Harrls of Georgia has given warn- ing to outsiders that they must not comment further on the Frank case. The people of Georgia, he says, are sensitive and high-strung, and keenly resent any Interference or meddling in thelr affairs. It is easy to understand that the sober, thinking Georgians feel deeply humil- fated by the general expression of indignation and horror that has come from every quarter of the country, condemning the barbarous mob that disgraced American civilization by fits dreadful deed. The case is not, and for many months has not been, exciusively a Georglan affair, people of the entire country, concerned to see that justice was done, and that law and order were upheld. Georglans of all classes knew this, and, knowing it, permitted the perpetration of one of the foulest crimes in all our history. They well deserve the censure visited on them, and cannot, through protest, escape from blame for the work of the mob. Just now they have but one way to convince the world of their sin- cerity of purpose, and that is to hunt down and | expose and punish the men who murdered Leo M. Frank. War’s Demand for Gold. During the first half of the war the German government, foreseeing the need of hoarding all available gold, appealed to the people to ex- change thelr gold for national currency. The re- sponse was a remarkable showing of patriotism. Not only big and little hoardings of gold coin, but also large quantities of gold Jewelry were turned into the national strong box, swelling by $260,000,000 the stock of gold in the Relchs- bank. France inaugurated a similar gold cam- palgn last July and the response was equally rotable as a measure of national devotion. In slx weeks the people turned fnto the Bank of France $78,000,000 in gold, surpassing the Ger- man record for the first six weeks by $8,000,000, Considering the vastly greater population of Germany and ts immunity from hostile armies, while French territory is occupled by the enemy and its population scattered, the gold outpouring evidences the admirable thrift of the French peo- ple and their readiness to make any sacrifice in defense of the nation, Guests Worth Mentioning. For several days Omaha has been entertain- ing some guests who have unobtrusively come amongst us, and have with equal modesty pur- sued the business that called them here, to the end that not a great deal of public notice has been given them. They are deserving of much attention, for several reasons. The mere fact that the colored people have formed themselves into secret societies is not at all noteworthy, for it s but a manifestation of a custom that has But the societies that have been here conducting their general business are representative to a large extent of the growth and development of the colored citizens of America, more especially as regards the item of thrift and the quality of social stability. The representatives who have gathered here are in | themselves proof that the colored man has made progress in the race of life since equal oppor- tunity was given him, and that materially and intellectually he is worthily striving with his white brother, He is learning to be not self- sufficlent, but self-respecting, and in this way | Its progress has been watched by the | above all others is he serving his own race. For | this, and for other reasons, these guests who | have so quietly followed their own affairs while in the city are worthy of our hospitality. —— The Lure of Pensions. Pensfon systoms for civillans, no matter what the object or class, are certain to develop abuse, Basy money constitutes too great a lure té escape the reach of the undeserving. This Is shown by an investigation of the bankrupt pension fund of New York City's school teachers, & fund com- raratively young and made up of a small per- centage of teachers’ salaries and certain public revenues. The Immediate cause of the insuffi- clency of the fund is due to “padding the rolls” | with Ineligible pensioners. In some instances teachers who lacked from one to four years of service to reach the retiring service age were easily pushed over. Teachers threatened with dismissal escaped the odium by retiring on a pension. Disabilities were an equally fruitful | source of peusion recruits, but the disabilities were no bar to the subsequent marriage of the pensioners. Gross favoritism was shown in promoting teachers before retirement in order to swell their drafts on the fund. These are typt- Which account was that currently accepted by those supposed to be in closest touch with the situation, I8 challenged in some of fts detalls by former Sen- Thurston. As an active player in that gnme, and the one holding the winning cards, Senator Thurston ought to know, and I am glad to give his version, which he has for the first time made public in a letter to me, as follows “I notice your article stating your understand- ing of the cause which led up to the rejection of the nomination by the president of Mr. W. D McHugh, and the appointment of Judge Munger as United States district judge. It is perhaps due to the living and the uead that I place befors the publio a true ement of this matter “Just ahout the time that T was to take my seat In the senate, Judgs Dundy died, and Presi- dent Cleveland nominatesa W, D. McHugh. This nomnation was made without amyone having consulted with me. 1 folt that it was due my position that I should at loast have been con- sulted In the matter of the appointment of Judge. 1 had no personal objection to Mr. Mec- Hugh and he would have been confirmed, except for the faet, that I was rellably informed that certaln friends of Mr. McHugh had gone about the streets of Omaha damning Thurston and say- Ing that T would have no Influence In the senate, and that they could confirm Mr. McHugh whether I objected or not. T am only stating in a mild way what his fool friends sald about me in public. “I looked upon Mr. McHugh as a young man irreproachable character, admirably qualified to fill the position of judge, but T could not in Justice to myself stand for the attitude taken by his friends fn attempting to discredit and dia- parage me. I became a member of the judiclary committee of the senate, to which committee his nomination was referred No pressure of any kind was brought to bear upom me for or against his confirmation, but in committee meeting, I stated to the committes the exact sftuation as [ understood it, and sald to the committee that some of Mr, McHugh's most prominent friends were discrediting me and my standing in the senate, and that I therefore opposed the nom- ination, ““Chairman Hoar of the committee sald, ‘Gen- themen, if there 1s no objection, I will refer this nomination to Senator Thurston with authority to report for or against, or to hold the appoint- ment without report, as he may wish.' Senator Hoar's statement was received without objection by all of the republican and democratic mem- bers of the committee and Mr. McHugh's appoint- ment was therefore in my pocket ‘“‘S8ome days before Mr. Cleveland's term was to expire, his secretary telephoned me saying that the president wished to see me. 1 tmmediately went to the White House and was recelved by President Cleveland, & man whom I greatly ad- mired and respected, one of the greatest presi- dents this country ever had. He sald to me, ‘Sen- ator, are you trying to hold this nomtnation of judge untfl my term expires, so as to appoint a republican? I said, ‘No, Mr. President, when a vacancy expires during your administration, 1 recognize your right to name the successor.’ Mr, Cleveland sald, ‘Senator, will you confirm any other democrat in Nebraska? 1 sald, ‘Yes sir, any democrat that is satisfactory to me will be confirmed, if you appoint him the same day his appointment comes to the senate’ He asked me to name two leading democratic attorneys that would be unobjectionable to me. T Immediately named Carroll 8. Montgomery and Willlam H. Munger, both splendid men and good lawyers. He asked me If he appointed either one of those would I have them confirmed. I sald, ‘Yes sir.’ ‘“The next morning a communication was re- oefved by the senate withdrawing the name of W. D, McHugh, and appointing Willlam H. Mun- ger. Within an hour I asked for an executive session, and being authorized by the judiclary committee, I reported Mr. Munger's nomination favorably, and he was immediately and unani- mously confirmed. Four hours after, I received @ long message from my friend Munger setting forth the reasons why he thought I should permit his confirmation. T cannot give the exact terms of my telegraphic answer, but in substance T #ald, ‘You were confirmed on my motion four hours before I recelved your wire.' ‘“That 1s the whole history of the matter.' of It will be noted that in this letter Senator Th ton does not even mention “Dick” Hall, whom every one here recognized the probable residuary legatee to the judgeship in the event of a falled confirma- tion, and the transfer of the appointment from the out-going president, Grover Cleveland, to the in- coming president, Major McKinley. Be that as it may, and whether within the knowledge of Senator Thurston or not, 1 feel safe In reasserting that it was the apprehension of losing this last plece of democratic patronage to a republican, and the con- viction that the naming of a republican, subject to endorsement by Senator Thurston, meant, in fact, the selection of Mr. Hall, were what induced Judge Mec- Hugh to cease his efforts in his own behalf, and to ask President Cleveland to withdraw his name and substitute another. Senator Thurston's graphio description of woat took place inside the committee room when the Mc- Hugh appointment was referred to him as a | sub- | committee of one with power to act, wil surely be | keenly relished by our present United States senator | and make him long for a revival of the old custom. | cal of what may be expected from the operation | of increasing pension schemes unless the respon- sible authorities rigidly eliminate favoritism, sympathy and personal pull. . of the proprie- He sends out the several reports of the different groups of his commission to the news- papers with future release dates, and then picks out a few excerpts from the report of his col- leagues representing the employers, which, sep- arated from their context, he thinks helps bolster It is easy to imagine what a smile of satisfaction would spread over his countenance, 1f, when those two Bryan-dictated appointments come In, it should be unanimously voted that they repose indefinitely in the senatorial vest pocket until the president shold come to his terms. The incident is characteristic of the difference in conditions then and now—for what- ever political antagonisms Senator Thurston may have engendered, all will agree that as seaator he com- | manded the confidence of his colleagues, and enjoyed to the full every advantage of that hign and mighty prerogative known as “senatorial courtesy The Douglas County Teachers' assoclation elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, J.
