b restored to power , and the right of the Samoans to man ago their own political affairs , free from oxternnl in terference , is guaranteed No right is possessed by oithcr of the contracting poworsthatis notcqunllyonjoycd by the others , nnd Germany ugroo3 to oxorclso none of any kind except by concur rent action with the ether powers A chiot justice appointed by the concur rent action of the three powers , or in the event of their disagreement by the king of Sweden , nnd who shall bo of a jioutral nation , will act as an advisor to the king in mutters rolntiug to foreign affairs and pass upon every variety of litigation in which foreigners may bo concerned A commission cotnposod of three persons , each power appointing one , will pass upon all land claims , and the municipality ot Apia is to bo governed by a president and elective council , under conditions which insure an im partial administration as between the contracting powers Ample provision is made respecting revenue and trade rotations What more than • this the govern ment of the United States could rea sonably have boon expected to accom plish is not npparont The treaty es tablishes rights of this country which were before questionable , nnd places the United Stntos upon an equality with the ether powers regarding Samoa It insures fair and just treat ment to the Samoan people nnd recognizes - nizos the republican prjncipln of homo rule It is honorable to the three powers concerned , and it makes ample provision against u recurrence of serious contro versy between thom There appe.irs no good reason why it should not bo promptly rati Hod by the senate UPWAKD TENDENCY OF SILVER The price of silver has advanced about two cents per ounce in London hiiico the beginning of the present yeari nndtho tondoucy appears to bo still up ward Olio explanation of this is the fact that the current govoriiment do- nmnd in England is exceptionally heavy , in part owing to the fact that the chancellor of the oxeb.un.uor has in creased the proportion of silver in tho-i now coinage in order to satisfv the do- maiid of bankers nnd tradesmen in ttio interior for mora silv.ornnd less gold half Bovoroigns This call for a larger supply of the subsidiary silver currency rnado u qulto material increase in the demand for coinage , with the natural effect of improving the price It is not likely that the oiitiro advance , however , has boon duo to this foot It wasreeontly re ported that the British oxohnquor con templated following the example of this country and Issuing notes based upon silver , and it can roudily be understood that the niorost buggostion of suoh u policy as oven remotely probable would havcvtlio offoctto nppreciato the price of silver , Another inlluonco favorable to the advance of silver is the anticipa tion abroad of some legislation by cou- gross that will bring that metal into larger employment In the ourroney of thlp country , and It is quite possible that this is not the least ot the influ ences which lmvo produced the upward movement ot silver Atnnyrnto it is one not to be loft out of consideration Iu the discussion ot the silver ques tion , with particular ceforcuco to the plan of the secretary ot the treasury , there is no diversity of opiuiou < as to the effect which the employment of silver under that plan would have iu advancing the price of the metal , and it is pretty generally npreed that it would speedily pprociato to a parity with gold Hut whether it could bo main tained there , under the provision that only domestic bullion shall bo deposited , is ii quostlon The theory seems plausible - . iblo thut in order to establish and main tain a parity between hilvernnd gold on the old ratio of fifteen and ono-hulf to ono , it will bo nocessury for the treas ury to be prepared to take all thu silver that is nut wanted elsewhere But this possibility need not bo allowed mmmmuimmmmmtmmmmmmmimmmmmmm to interfere with n fair trial o ! the p'nn ' proposed "by the sccrotnry of the trons- urv which its opponents ndmlt to bo the best that has boon suggested for in creasing the use of silver in the cur rency Thcro is a significance in the advance ot silver nnd Us upward tendonoy which must not bo lost sight of in the pending discussion of the silver problem A SOTllEll LESSON Pivo yenrsngo when Omaha competed with Lincoln for the state fair she was jockeyed in the rnco The state board of agriculture hnd boon packed against her by the emissaries of the Burlington road , whoso managers backed Lincoln agnihst all compotilors And now another compotltlvo force hns boon played with exactly the snmo outcome Lincoln played a sure thing garao The board was again pacltnd In favor ot Lincoln by Burlington officials , who lmvo an individual ns well us a corpor ate interest In porpotunlly keeping the fair on their own grounds Omnha , Hastings , Grand Island , Columbus and Kearney had no chnnco to secure the relocationovon it they had offered half a million dollnrs bonus Whau the board invited competitors it was play ing ft sham nnd n. farce The whole thing wns it cut and dried affair It is notorious that the board has never enforced the conditions under which Lincoln sccurod the fair five vrars ngo The guarnntoo.bond which was given to insure the erection of ex position buildings was very conven iently lost , and the state board was com pelled to expend over fourteen thousand dollars out ot its own funds Hud Omnha heeded tiio lesson of five years ago she would have ignored the bogus competition This city is large enough to establish and maintain a permanent - manont exposition each year , in which the displays of cabbngus , pumpkins nnd garden truck should bo secondary Omnha should emulate Minneapolis , Kansas Cltv , Mllwaukeo and other en terprising citlos that lmvo established permanent expositions and have made thom n success The exhaustive Investigation of the problem of irrigation of the arid regions - • gions of the west by the special senate committee has crystalizod in a bill drafted by Major Powell , which will bo presontcd to congress at an early day It provides for a topographic and hydro graphic survey of the acid plains and the division of the same into irrigable , pastoral and timber lands , the two lat ter to remain the property of the United States for the use of the people ot the irrigation districts Thoonormouscost ot government irrigation , estimated at ono billion dollars , is pro hibitory , but the committee bollovos that the inducements proposed in the bill will encourage pri vate enterprise , which has uiroady re claimed hundreds of thousands of acres An important and desirable feature of the bill provides for federal control , over interstate waters aud the forma tion of water districts under the con trol of states nnd territories This will prevent a monopoly of the streams and protect the rlght3 of largo and small owners of irrigating privileges At present there is no law preventing ono state from diverting the waters of inter state streams , nnd great Uamugo has boon o ' utdilcd thereby With federal control ovpry state and ovcry commun ity will enjoy equal rights and priv ileges to the waters An investigation ot the workings ot the immigration laws of the United States und of the several states , as has been proposed in congress , may bo nco- essary to roach an intolligopt * under standing of what now legislation , if , any , is required for the bettor regula tion of immigration Something was done iu this direction two years ago , but the scope of that investigation was not so thorough as would bo the ono proposed by Senator Chand ler , and the conclusions from it were therefore necessarily incom plete There Is so much misinforma tion as to this matter , loading to un warrantable prejudices , that it will bo well to have a committco of congress mnko a thorough inquiry into the whole immigration business , to the end that if any further legislation is found to bo noceBsar.v.it can bo provided intel ligently and not merely as a response to the prejudiced minds ot any element of the people Mit BLAIR succeeded in havlug his educational bill rend in full -to the sen ate on Wednesday , although every member of that body must know by rote nearly the whole of that proclous measure After this trying ordeal the 8onate consented to postpone considera tion ot the bill for ten days and mnko , it unfinished business " The regular reappearance of this scheme to pro mote mendicancy has ceased to bo amusing , nnd it is the duty of the senate to - sup press it There is no oxcus ' o for longer permitting Mr Biuir to ride this hobby in publio , to the dotrlmont ot the busi ness of the semite and the discomfort of everybody who may bo compelled to listen to his advocacy of it .

[ Spoclnl to Tun Hnn I Governor Tlniyor yesterday pardoned Enoch Bradshaw , who was serving a Ufa sentence for the murder of II C. Vorhcos near Crao Orchard , in Ungo county , in the spring of 137V. The application for pardon was based upon the original record nud upon newly discovered testimony The application hns been pending for three or four yearsand is granted upon the recommendation of Judge Davidson , who tried llrinJshnw , nnd a num ber ot the most promluontJurists tnthostnto , among thom being John L. Wobstcr , J. H. Broady , J. M. Woolworlh , Jambs W. Savage , John M. Thurston , C. P. Mandorson nnd T. M. Marquette The application for a pardon contained 100 names , mo9tot thorn prominent men in the state , nud partly In Beatrice , where the trial took place The following Is the governors stnto ' mout ; The application tor the pardon of Enoch Bradshaw has been the subject of long , patient nnd cxhaustlvo investigation , The fact that the enso of Bradshaw had boon before fore different Judges of thu district court In Gage county ; that it had boon several tlmos betoro the supreme court on writs of error , which have bcon donlcd for want of juris diction ; • that tt had oxcltod great interest in too southern portion of the state ; that con flicting views exist in regard to the guilt or innocence of Bradshaw ; aud the enso had boon under consideration by my predecessor and the application refused by him , all united to causa mo to enter upon the exami nation of tbo case nud pursue It with the utmost caution and deliberation lu reaching a conclusion If Enoch Bradshaw took the life ot Henry Voorhccs , ho was guilty ot a borrlblo mur der , committed m a most revolting manner , and for which ho should have been hung long ngo , for such monsters nro not fit to live If ho wns not guilty of that crime then the awful fact exists that an iunocent man lias been confined In prison for nearly seven years , and is doomed to imprisonment the remainder of his natural life My first examination of the case loft in my mind a doubt ot Uradshaw's guilt , nnd each subsequent examination served to strengthen thut doubt Now additional evidence was furnished to mo which wont very far to provo nn alibi , and also to show that if the alibi was not well established , some other party than Bradshaw committed the murder But I still hesitated , for it was possible that bo did slay Voorhccs , and I dreaded the thought of letting such a murderer go free The investigation was still pursued by mo , ana through the wakeful hours of many nights Enoch Bradshaw has been the sub ject or my thoughts ; and many times the quostlon has como tome , is ho innocent ? and then the consciousness tnat 1 alone must decide thut question I desired to learn the effect which all the testimony would lmvo upon unprejudiced minds who hnd no previous knowledge of the case except what they migbt have read in the reports , and 1 took an unusual stop , which was that I submitted all the evidence to tbroo attorneys eminent in the law , and long accustomed to weigh und dissect evi dence , and to givu to it all a fair con struction The gentlemen selected by mo were George EI Luke , Jamo3 W. Savage und John L. Webster , lhcv cheerfully ac cepted the task I had asked them to perforin , ana I hereby tender to thom my acknowl edgments lor their kindness in complying with my request Messrs Savage and Webster have written out opin ions Judge Lake bus not writ ten an opinion , as ho did not coincide with the views of the ether two , and hns stated thut he thought the evidence ut the time justified the verdict But he hus ulso said , that If bo were the governor nnd had to pass upon the question of pardon , ho would bo governed largely by the opinion ot tin * Judscbefore whom the enjo w.is tried ; thut gentleman Is Judge Davidson The responsibility of the decision in this case rests ulono with mo I must dcnldo whether Bradshaw shall remain a life con vict or bo restorcu to his liberty I accept tho.iesponsibility und declare my conviction that Enoch Bradshaw did not commit the murder for which he was convicted I have Just signed the document which will today cnublo him to step forth from the peniten tiary u free man But who can make amends to bun for the wrongs to which he has been subjected ; no recompense cuu bo made It Is one ot ttio imperfections of human Justice , or of the administration of Justice , that the innocent must sometimes suffer John M.
