pending hi chief 'ot pollco, and now
excusing municipal extravagance, aro
not entitled to serious conderation.
It's a pity, though, to havosuch a man
at the head of tho city government.
Cities are nearly always extravagant.
In Lincoln much money is thrown away,
not so much because the city oHlcialB
are wilfully extravagant, as becauso they
follow precedent, and become careless
in the disposal of tho city's money. No
one body or official is alone at fault.
Nearly every department of tho city is
conducted iu such a manner that more
or 'teas money is expended unnecessarily
and In tho course of tho year the little
leaks drain uway a very considerable
urn.

this city is in tho iutorcst of good,
economical government, and although
tho Journal will probably contiuuo to
throw a wet blatiket on tho tiro ul
frequent intervals the embers will not
be oxtiuguished, and in the near future
important results may bo realized,
Probably ninety-nine per cent of the
peoplo are in favor of lower taxation,
aud tew will dispute the proposition
that a decrease in tho taxes would not
necessarily lessen the efficiency of tho
city government. Why ' then, should
not the taxes bo reduced?
economy Is common bimibo, ami our con

Hon, Tho AVim Hiiyn: "Tnr. Cuuiiikk, which
appears to bo a worshipper at tho shrino
of gold, cannot understand what
bonelllfl would at'cruo to thnfnrmeiB of
Nebraska from an enlarged volume of
currency, and Ih evidently fearful that
by some hook or crook of legislation
we limy get a 'cheap' dollar.''
We certainly cannot understand how
an enlarged volume of currency, of tho
spurlouH kind advocated by tho AVirir,
would accrue to tho benefit of tho farmers
of Nebraska. In Argentine Ilepiibllu
there wiih a sudden Increase In tho vol.
iiiiio of currency, and tho farmorB and
everybody else were visited by tho most
dlieful calamity. The per capita wiih
large, but the money had loHt Hh
stability; credit wiih destrojed and
ovoryliody wiih poor.
The llrsl consideration whon It coiiich
to money iih a meaiiH of exchange Ih
quality- -then quantity.
A "cheap" dollar would bo tho Inevi
table result of free silver, which policy
tho A'cie advocates. The country caino
near enough to tho yawning chasm of
free silver legislation during tho extia
session of congress to make appaieut
some of the perils hidden therein.
Our contemporary hiijh that tho llrst
principle of political economy tenches
that a largo supply of money tondfl to
lower Interest.
Why then, when tho banks of New
York City, and tho liuanclal centom of
tho country, aro loaded down with
money, aro tho loaning companies
threatening to increase tho rate of In
terest? Tho New will probably Bay that It Is
becauso there Ih not tho samocouildenco
that there wiih some months ago.
Exactly, and If congVesn should give
lis free silver what little conlldenco thero
Ib left would be knocked several times
higher than Glldcroy'B kite.
There Is little doubt but that tho
country would be lieuetltted by an in
creaso lit tho volume of currency, but
the increase must come along legitimate
lines.

than ono whole dollar.

The princes aud dukes aud lords and
counts who have married American
heiresses have, with acarcoly an excep
tion, boon outrageous scoundrels or
miserable good-for-nothings.
Tho princes have bceu paupers, tho
dukes donkeys, tho lords lolly-tHqm and
the couutB contemptible cads, or
conscienceless cheats.
Without honor, conscience, honesty
or reputation, and besmirched with the
mire of tho moral rottenness in which
thoy havo wallowed for years, with
mountains of debts aud not one cent of
inonoy, thoy havo won American .heiress
es with tho itlltter of the coronet, and
tho fascination of the title.
Naturally thero has bceu very little
happiness and much trouble in theso
ill-assorted mutches. Just now tho
nowBpapora aro full of their woes. Tiik
Coukikk thiB week tolls of tho tribula
tions of somo of tho moro notablo of
heso American girls who havo dropped
their money into tho lap of tho titled
foreigner, and exchanged happiness for
misery.
If Amorican heiresses insist on marry
ing paupora, and paying otl the debts of
scapegrace husbanda, it would bo much
bettor all around it they would throw
themselves into tho armB of Amorican
instead of foreign tramps.
To be Btiro thoy could not securo a
titlo this way; but they would not iind
in tho American pauper-gentleman tho
distilled essence ot untold centuries of
dissipation and vice thero would bo
somo hopt ot reformation.
And then the mouoy would bo kept
at homo. And being right on tho
ground tho mother-in-law might be able
to exercise moro intluoncn on tho joung
man.
Then it matters camo to tho worst, it
is much easier to obtain a divorce hero
lhau in Europe.
So that there is every reason why tho
Amoricau heiresses should, If thoy per
sist in marrying paupers, devote them
selves to tho indigent amoug their own
countrymen.
Give tho Amorican genteel tramp a
chance. Fay off American, instead of
European debts. Keep our American
girls and their money at homo.

give one a collar, another
a cuff' which all the year
