Not haYing time to get in type the "inaugural address delivered by President McKinley yesterday, we ; publish the following editorial re view of the ;address printed in last evening's Omaha Bee: President McKinley 's inaugural address is a thoroughly practical document. It is almost wholly de voted to the consideration of finan cial and business conditions and as to these it speaks with clearness and force. The new president is of the opinion that our financial sys tem needs revising, to the end that our money shall be put upon an en during basis, not subject to easy at tack nor to doubt as to its stability. The currency should be kept under the supervision ;of the government, a declaration which gives assurance that the Dew administration will not favor any measure looking to a restoration of the old system of state bank issues. Encouragement is extended to the advocates of cur rency revision by the expression of opinion that the several forms of paper money offer a constant em barrassment to the national govern ment, but it is urged that no changes should be made until an adequate revenue is assured. The president i? favorable to a currency commission and he promises earnest attention the question of interna tional bimetallism, for which the way has been prepared by the action of congress. The attitude of the new administration is thus clearly defined: "The credit of the govern ment, the integrity of its currency and the inviolability of its obliga tions must be preserved." There can be no doubt that during the next four years this position will be faithfully adhered to. President McKinley- urges the severest economy in public expendi ture?. In regard to revenue, he does not fayor a policy that would create a large surplus revenue, but such a policy as will enable the gov ernment to pay as it goes and will obviate the necessity jf loans. It is needless to say that he believes that the bulk of the revenue should be obtained from import duties, re garding this policy, with its care for American interests and Ameri can labor, as haying been distinctly approved by the people at the last general election. The hope is ex pressed that congress which it is announced will be called in extra session on March 15 will at the earliest practicable time enact reve nue legislation "that shall be fair. reasouabl, conservative, just." The president sa's that while it will take time to restore the prosperity nf former years a resolute effort should be made to aid its return by friendlv legislation. President McKinley leaves no doubt respecting his hostility to trusts aud combinations to arbitra rily control trade and declares his purpose to endeavor to carry into effect the statates relating to these organizations. His language in this connection shows that he feels very earnestly on the subject. As- surance is given tnat tnere will ue no backward step in regard to civil seryice rerorm, out its extension will not be prompted by party zeal. The president regards the subject of a merchant marine as of com manding importance, appealing both to business necessities and the patriotic aspirations of a great peo ple. In regard to our foreign policv the tone of the address is entirely pacific. The president recognizes the duty ox adhering to the tradi tional polity of the nation in culti vating relations of peace with all other nations, while vigilantly and- firmly guarding our rights and the rights of our citizens everywhere, The policy of the new administra tion is denned in this declaration: "Our diplomacy should seek nothing more and accept nothing less than is due us." That is a position which t f T . ougut ro oe satisiactorv to every American citizen. President Mc Kinley heartily favors the Anglo- American arbitration treaty and urges its early ratification "not merely as a matter of policy, but as a duty to mankind. mi " i -i ill ine aaaress concludes ny con gratulating the country upon the fraternal spirit of the people and an appeal to cultivate this spirit, which President McKinley pledges him self to do anything possible to pro mote.

Supreme Court Affirms Decis ion of Lower Court. DATE OF EXECUTION HOT YET SET. When Informed of the Decision He Sarst Into Tears and Said Tills Was a Cruel World Ever Since His Arrest He Has Had Supreme Confidence In His Ulti mate Acimital Chief Justice Dissents. Sax PRiLN Cisco, March 4. The su preme court has affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of Theodore Durrnnr, found guilty of the murder of Blanche Lamont in Emanuel church almost two years aso. He appealed from the verdict of guilty, alleging j errors in the rulings of the trial judge and filing' a voluirdnous "bill of excep tions. The trial judge, however, -was affirmed in all his disputed instances. The case will now be sent back to the superior court, which will fix a date for Durranfc's execution. Friday afternoon, April 11, 1895, the body of Minnie "Williams, a young girl, was found in a 61oset in the pastor's study of Emanuel church. The girl had been outraged and murdered, the arte ries in the wrists being cut. Two days later, just before church services "began, the body of Blanche Lamont, who had been missing for several days was found in tho belfry of the church. She had been strangled to death. Theodore Durrant, a young medical student, who was superintendent of the Emmanuel Sunday school, had been on friendly terms with both of the girls and was suspected of the crimes. He was arrested while on a trip to Mount Diablo with the signal corps, and al though he had been warned with a heliograph by his comrrdes of the signal corps, from Telegraph hill, he paid no concern and calmly awaited the arrival of the officers. In his overcoat, which had been left at home, was found Min nie "Williams' purse. A pawnbroker identified Durrant as a man who had tried to sell him a diamondring, which. had belonged to Blanche Lamont. It was proved at the trial that Durrant ac companied Miss Lamout to and from school on the day she disappeared and that he met Minnie Williams at tho ferry on the evening she was murdered. Sentenced to Hang:. That evening Durrant arrived late at a meeting of the Christian Endeavor. He was flushed and disheveled. He asked permission to brush his hair and wash his hands before he entered the meeting. The discovery of the murders caused tremendous excitement and after a long and sensational trial Durrant was convicted of the murder of Blanche La mont. He was sentenced to be hanged a year ago last February, but has been granted several stays of execution, pending the hearing of his appeal for a new trial by the supreme court. All this time he has been confined in the county jail, where he has maintained his usual stolid composure, devoting his time tp study and religions reading. When Durrant was informed by the head jailor of the supreme court's deci sion he burst into tears and said this was a very, cruel world. He said that some day the truth would prevail and he would be vindicated. He seemed to take some comfort from the report that Chief Justice Beattie would in a few days file a dissenting opinion. Durrant has ever since his arrest manifested the most supreme confidence in his ultimate acquittal and when lie was convicted in the superior court declared that the su preme court would grant him a new .trial.
