A CiOon many are coiiiplaiiiin that winter is haniiij' ui and that it Might to be gone, but if you will just stop to think you will see that it is not Htrange that winter can't get nway when its backbone was broken only a few weeks ago. HKYA.N undoubtedly spoke truth fully yesterday when he said, in pre senting his little silver resolution, "I am here on a painful duty." It is generally a painful duty for a young man eloiiient to volunteer to be sat dawn upon in the house of his friends. Unmjk the reciprocity sign the re publicans will conquer in the elec tion of 1SIKJ, for it is that policy that has given the Cuban market for flour to the Tinted States atter it had been held by Kurope for inany years past. "I HAVE frequent misgivings as to the wisdom of again putting me in nomination," is what G rover Cleveland wrote to a friend on the day after the Khode Island election. D.'inccratic booms are having a hard time of it this year. THE Great Northern is rapidly pushing its way to the Pacific. The Kalispel (Montana) Graphic says: "The track layers are work ing 1(X) miles west, and are expected to meet the force working eastward from Spokane by Nay 'JO. Trains will run through from St. Paul to the Pacific by June." WILL there be a square backdown in Chicago? The Atlanta Constitu tion prints the financial planks in the democratic platforms of 1890 as they were adopted In twenty-two states of the south and west. All of them declare for the free coinage of silver. How will "the fat prophet" look treading on those "twenty-two" plunks? COXORK88MAX Hrvax boasts that he always has the courage of voting his convictions, but when it came to voting on the two delegations from Douglas county yesterday in the democratic convention, he refused to vote for fear of offending nome one. So the convention left him out in the cold, sat down on his free sil ver plank and refused to semi him as a delegate to the national conven tion. ' Mr. HRVAX is helping harmony along in the democratic ranks by coming out strong for free silver at their state convention last evening. All yesterday afternoon and last night until midnight the demo crats foupht over the double dele gation and then adjourned, till St o'clock this morning without set tlement, and Congressman Hryan promises to make it more lively on free silver as soon an the conven tion gets into working order, so we can safely say they won't get through till tonight. REDUCTION IN THE ilLV... OUT PUT. The reports of the clmting of silver mines are o numerous that a marked falling olf in ti e output seems to be inevitable. A govern ment inquiry made a year or two ago showed that in some of the mines silver could be produced for ,"oc or ."."it an ounce, and that, there fore, any price above this would be a profit It is evident, however, that in the majority of mines the cost of production is much greater than this. The lowest price yet touched in the market was a fraction below Stic, and the rate has hovered around the Sc or KSc mark most of the time in the past two or three we ks. Yet eve.i these prices appear to wipe out the margin of profit for many localities, a is nhown by the ac counts of the suspension of work, liven in many of the larger mines production has been restricted and wages reduced. There is a chance to cut down sil ver production materially without bringing it below the output of a few years ago. In lSUhe coinage value of the United States product of this metal was .f;fH,4."0,l)K. It was .f S,(XX),(KK) iii 1SH4, $rI,(KH),(KI() in 1SW, f."i!,2lK,0(K) in lfvS8. sHM,tJ(KMXXt in im), fTlUUI.OOO in lS'.H), and according to the estimates, it reached $7.",iXi,0(X) in 1M". 1. The output, as indicated, has been growing rapidly in recent years. The prospect of favorable gislation in ISMS) and lS'.fO was probably the cause of the great in crease in those years, and the bul lion deposit acton the latter year, which largely increased the pur chases of the metal by the govern ment, sent the production of 1M1 up. About forty per cent of the silver output of the world is now obtained in the United States, and the ratio has bfjen growing continuously for years past. The drop in prices is bringing about i curtailment of the output, and this, in turn, will relieve the pressure on the market and ulti mately send price) up. Thus the rate; of two or three years ago may be re established. And this is the only practicable method in sight to bring this end about. The same forces which fix pt ices of wheat, iron and textiles operate "in the silver market. Supply in silver has been growing far more rapidly than de mand in the past few years, and the old equilibrium must be brought back or else prices cannot be advanced. Demand is not likely to be materially increased in the near future, therefore a reduction in the supply offers the only effective remedy. International monetary conferences are talked of, but relief from this source is not likely to come soon, although it will probab ly come sometime. Meantime the "let-up" in production, it it should take on the proportions which the most recent reports from the min ing regions indicate, can hardly fail to strengthen the market and ad vance prices, for a time at least, or until supply again outruns demand - Globe Democrat. In the latter part of 1SSW, when the war vessels now in course of con struction are completed, the United States will stand seventh in the list of naval powers according to the estimate of the House Naval Com mittee. Great Hritain, France, Italy, Russia, Germauy and Spain, in this order, will be ahead of us at that time, and only these. Half a dozen other nations as well as these are ahead of us now, as seen by the committee's figures. We must not remain behind Germany and Soain. however, Wor should we al low Italy to ieaa us. ti e have greater resour ces and a far longer coast line than any of these three nations, and we need a stronger navy. Sec rktary Klkins has accepted the invitation to deliver the address at the annual Grant banquet in New York, April 27. The present secre tary of war was one of General Grant's most intimate friends in the later years of his life, and it was up on the judgment of Secretary Klkins Grant relied when overtaken by financial disaster. Klkins assured the old commander that his integri ty could not be impeached, and was a great comfort to him. It is very appropriate that Secretary Klkins should deliver the address in New York when they propose to begin the building of the monument to Grant's memory. TARIFF PICTURES. Here is a result of republican re ciprocity which free trade papers will carefully abstain from discuss ing. The imports of American flour into Havana for the months of January and February, 1SH1, were 3.75N sacks. For the same months in lSlC they were 83,643 sacks. The McKlnley law is the best tariff measure the American farmer ever had.- New York Press. THE PENSION INVESTIGATION. The testimony in the k'aum in vestigation presents some curious j and suggestive facts ns to the man ner in which the business of the pension office is conducted. Gen erally speaking, the claims seem to be adjusted as carefully and expe- j ditiously as the circumstances will permit; but there is a great deal of delay, nevertheless, and many de vices are resorted to by interested parties for the purpose of hasten ing the proceedings. Kvery con gressman has hundreds of such claims to look after for his con Htituents, nnd millions of dollars are annually paid to attorneys for like services. It seems to be prac ically impossible to get a claim passed upon in a reasonable time unless it is urged by some outside influence. This docs not necessar ily imply that there is intentional discrimination in favor of any par ticular class of claimants, but it does signify that discrimination ensues by reason of such pressure. A skillful attorney or a zealous congressman can cause final action to be taken in many cases before other cases of equal merit have passed the preliminary stages. Jt is a matter of tact and perseverance. The officials of the pension office are not consciously partial, per haps, but partiality is shown all the same, and it affords cause of criti cism and complaint. ' There should be a system of ad justing pension claims under which even the appearance of favoritism would be impossible. The present force of the pension office is not large enough to insure rapid inves tigation and settlement, but it can he increased. Such claims are of a peculiarly sacred and urgent char acter. The claimants are poor for the most part, and they need the money to meet ordinary living ex penses. In a majority of the cases the facts are not at all doubtful or complicated. They can be adjusted without the interposition of attorn eys, and it is wrong to require the vetrans pay for legal aid in the mat ter. The government should bear all the cost of preparing evidence and putting claims in shape to be definitely passed upon. It is due to the penioners that they be not com pclled to discount their pension in order to secure the money as toon as it should be given them. One of the grave faults of the present sys tem is that the most deserving ap plicanta are often neglected because they are the least able to employ outside help. The business ought to be so transacted that all claims shall stand upon unequal footing, and le disposed of in regular order. It is clear that more or less distinction fs now made, and there is no good rea son why it should be continued. If the existing methods are not equal to the work of correction, then new ones should be adopted, and con gress should authorize such addi tional expenditure as may be neces sary for the purpose. Globe Demo crat. TARIFF PICTURES. During June, 1891, just before the tin plate clause of the McKinley bill went into operation, there were enormous importations of tin plate to postpone the effect of the law on the tin plate importers as far as possible. The total value of the June importations showed an aver age of 3.33 cents a pound. In February last tne importations were valued at an average of 2.93 cents a pound, a decline of 0.62 cents a pound. As the duty was raised on July 1 from 1 cent a pound to 2.2 cents a pound, an increase of 1.2 cents, the price has alreadv de- dined more than one-half the in crease in the duty. Why'r Because the American supply of tin plate is increasing. Aew York Press. NEW TARIFF DOCUMENTS Three admirable documents have just been issued by the American Protective Tariff League.

Jen nings Demorest, 15 Fast 14th St. New York. ENOUCH TO RUN THE COVERN MENT. Kvery day the democratic papers publish the same rumors about a United States treasury on the verge of bankruptcy. It has no doubt been a disappointment to these party papers that the treas ury has held out as well as it has. And it will continue to disappoint these croakers. The republican party under the leadership of Mc. Kinley niado vast reductions in the tariff, on sugar for instance, but they did not make the reductions until after careful study of the situ ation. The object was to reduce the revenues as nearly as possible to the needs of the government economically administered with out impairing the system of protec tion to American labor. There is no surplus accumulating and the republicans did not intend there should be. They wanted the money to be in circulation, not millions of it hoarded up. Under Cleveland the democrats tried to starve the government in order to accumulate a surplus, a pile of idle millions lying in the treasury and to be used as a campaign argu ment. The republican party in 1SS8 pledged the people that if it was re turned to power it would reduce that surplus, and put the money in circulation. The people accepted the party 011 that promise. The party has kept it and all the talk about a bankrupted treasury can not change the fact nor detract from the credit that is due the party. Des Moines Register. FREE TRADEKS FEAR FREE TRADE. The democrats flatter themselves that they are doing valiant work by the so-called separate tariff bills. But they are only showing their cowardice and inability to cope with a great national question. If they had kept the pledges made to the people two years ago they would not now be puncturing holes in the good fabric of the McKinley law, but they would be shaping a tariff bill of their own and give the people an idea of practical "tariff re form." Tom Watson the alliance member of the house from Georgia, a few days ago exposed this cow ardice of the democaatic party. Watson was a democrat before he was an alliance man, and under stood the party that he criticised. He said that the democratic party while it was for free trade did not h ive the courage to put its profes sions into practice. The party in the house, he said, reminded him of the old way of setting the fish trap in the river to catch something whichever way the current flowed. The democratic party which elected a majority of the house on the free trade issue two years ago, he Baid, had given the people who elected them nothing but husks to feed on. The arraignment is a just one. What has the democratic party done in four months of congress' Abso lutely nothing but abuse a law which they dare not repeal, for the repeal of which as a whole they have not dared to introduce a bill. - Iowa Stute Register. Tiikkk will be a shortage on brim stone now until Rear-Admiral Sher man gets over the O'Hryan accident, which occurred at the latejharinoni on gathering of the happy family at Omnhn.

The shuck dropped off, showing the statesman (':) of the big First to be in favor of Dave Hill, southern methods, fiat money and the agent of Hill Springer, Dave Hill and the Tammany tiger. It didn't work, and if Col. Hryan paid his fare from Wat-hington to Nebraska to pocket the party for the boodle gang that elected Crisp speaker of the house, he is just out that much out of pocket. The young democracy that Col. Hryan has bloviated about at home and in his stump speech in congress, at last has aroused the old war horses of the democratic party, whose frames are covered with the scars of battle long prior to the young democracy's accouchmeut, and when those old horses put on their war paint, the young man (democracy) was not in it. Silver Hilly Hryan is first for Boies, so he says. It appears that "Nebraska's Pride" hasn't read about that Grtystone club's disap pointmcnt in Boies. That silver resolution of Billy's is likely to be vetoed by Boies. ' Iowa has just received $384.274 on account of the direct tax refunding act, and her voters will not forget that the republicans passed that excellent measure.
