by Secretary Truoy , who insists Unit it
Is not a vindication of the erring naval

hardly satisfy critics , many of whom bo-
llovo Commander Roller was , to say the

In one of his recent dispatcher from
Now York to the Cincinnati Commercial
CiUictlCi Mr. Murnt llalstcad observes
that there is manifest in Undemocratic ,
mugwump and professedly indopmidont
paporri that make up the great bulk of
Now York journalism , Increasing uu
oaslnos i In the political changes favorIng -
Ing the republicans that every day ap
pear , and especially about the abiding
friendliness nnd cordial co-oparntlon of
the president and the secretary of
state. The porploxlty of the opposition
has been Intonsillcd by the success
of the administration in reciprocity
negotiations , by the unqualified triumph
of the state department In dealing with
the Italian incident , and by the excel
lent impression the president has made
on his trip Ihus far. Add lo those the
fact that the administration has boon
thoroughly practical , that the vast reve
nues of the government Imvo boon col
lected without the loss of a single cent
by fraud or defalcation , that the national
finances hnvo boon managed with notable -
blo wisdom , nnd that the currency of the
country has been largely and safely In
creased , and there is presented a record
which appeals to Iho intelligent judg
ment and confidence ol the country.
To overcome the Influence which this
record id exerting in strengthening the
republican party the opposition Is rely
ing chiollyupon the charge that the last
congress was exceptionally extravagant
in appropriations , with the "gag rule"
and the "forco" bill as incidental issues.
Their acknowledged loader will endeavor
to make the tariff the loading issue , but
it is already apparent that n very largo
number will not bo disposed to follow
him in this , at least to the extent that
ho will doslro to go , and the conditions
nexl year are vo.'y likely to bo uuih : as
to nriko the number still larger. The
ill oirects from the tariff that wore
prophesied by the free trade democrats
liavo not been experienced , ami if wo go
on milking reciprocity arrangements
and extending our markets they are not
likely to bo. Taking all the necessaries
together , they are cheaper today than
when the tariff bill was passed , and
especially Is this the fact if the products
of the farm bo excluded , which are
higher for reasons wholly independent
of the tariff. If this state of affairs con
tinues Iho democratic party will hardly
venture to run the next presidential
camp lign on the naked Issue of the repeal -
peal of the tnritt law. Undoubtedly the
next house of representatives will attack
the tariff , but the democratic party has
hitherto shown itself incapable of deal
ing with this subject in a way satisfac
tory to the country , nnd there Is
no reason to expect that it will
exhibit a higher capacity in
the next congress. It will make n
demonstration , also , for free coinage of
silver , but this will bo done at the risk
of so dividing the party as to assure its
defeat next year.
Thoughtful democrats are beginning
to see that the largo majority which
their party will have in the next hotibo
of representatives may not prove to bo
HO valuable an achievement as at llrst it
was thought to bo. They understand
that the fortunes of the party In
the immediate future largely depend -
pond upon the course of the
next house , and If the oxlromo and ro-
nclionnry element gains control , as now
Honms probable , the party will have
little to hope for in 1802 outside of the
solid south.
Meantime the republican administra
tion is going forward on safe nnd con
servative lines with the single purpose
of advancing the material welfare ot the
country and maintaining the credit nnd
dignity of the government , and its suc
cess with this policy is every day com
mending it more fully to intelligent pop
ular judgment and increasing the
strength of the party.

Secretary Foster appreciates the fact
that the unusually heavy demands
which will bo made upon the national
treasury during the ensuing year will
require extraordinary preparations to
meet thorn in order to avoid a. deficit.
Ho has accordingly boon giving careful
consideration to plans designed to prevent -
vent the depletion of the treasury tint
the contraction of the circulating me
dium. When recently In Now York ho
hold consultations with bankos : ant
business raon regarding the situa
tion , and this week has been in
consultation with prominent tronsurj
ollicials regarding the policy which the
treasury should pursue. As the meas
ures suggested by the scerolary will it
their execution have an important oflocl
upon the money market , nnd therefore
upon the business of the country , for tlio
next year , they possess tin interest for
all engaged in financial and commercial
tiff nirs.
The most imporlant measures being
considered by Secretary Foster are the
refunding of the -H per cent bonds nm
the withdrawal of tlio public funds
on deposit in national banks. The
amount of the bonds whiol
mature September 1 , is about 852,000,000
and the deposits amount to 823,000,000 ,
The expectation had boon that the bonds
would bo redeemed , but It Is now eooi
thai this cannot bo done without wiping
out Iho bank deposits , and this il would
bo unsafe lo do. Rsfunding lliorofore
seems to bo Iho only safe nllornntivo , tuu
this the secretary will probably propose
to do , limiting the amount refunded , i
practicable , to the InndH , somewhat
less than half Iho whole amount , deposited
posited in the treasury to secure
the circulation of the natlona
banks. By this moans ho would no
compllsh the double purpose of relieving
the demands upon tlio treasury and giv
ing the b.mks a continuing basis for
their circulation. II is the opinion of
the Bccrotury that those bonds can easily
bo refunded Inlo a 2 per cent bond
running fora considerable term of years ,
nnd that banks would gladly accept
them in return for their present holdIngs -
Ings and use them as a basis for
note circulation. If this course Is
decided upon , and It booms imporn *
lively necessary in existing circum
stances , a call for n portion of the bonds
may be expected to issue at tiny time.
With regard to the deposits of public
money in the banks , It is not Intended to
withdraw till of the amount , but to re
duce it perhaps to thu extent of
310,000,000. Other measures under con-
Idorntion are the rocolnngo of trade
ollar bullion ttnd the issue of cortill-
iatos upon Iho now coins , the dlstrluu-
ion of Rome of the fractional silver
nd the rccoinago of another por-
Ion , and the use of the silver
irollt fund arising from the present sll-
or coinage. Tlio secretary will also
top payments on the sinking fund if ho
s not prepared lo meet them.
Tlio consideration of those oxpediotils
s evidence of the close condition of Iho
rcasury and the solicitude of the socro-
ary regarding the Immediate fuluro.
Vllhin n few woolcH 335,000,000 will bo
; nllod for by pension drafts , nnd prompt
.ction is necessary to provide for
his drain. The cash b.ilnnco at
> rcsont Is smatllor than for many
cars , and there are no extraordinary
c.sourccs at hand to moot the enlarged
uinand.H. It Is qullo possible that all of
ho expedients bolng considered by the
ocrotnry would not prove successful ,
ind In that ease the situation might be-
omo embarrassing , but they appear to
) o the best that the conditions suggest. <
: t is said that Secretary Foster will
'ounsol with Senator Sherman , and
vhatovor is decided upon the country
ins every reason to ox poet that It will
uivo duo regard for the general Inter-
osts. It Is apparent that tlio affaire of
ho treasury for some time to como will
mvo to bo guided with extraordinary
care , prudence and wisdom.

An amendment to Iho ordinance govS
orning Iho garbage business in the city
vill como up In regular order at thu
council tonight. II aims to correct the
ibuses which have grown up under the
syslcm as now manipulated , nnd to pre
vent oxtorlionalo charges in the future.
"n other words , the council is asked to
treat this subject in a business like man-
lor nnd to so modify the terms of the or
dinance as to give tlio tax-payers
ind the clly reasonable rates for
ralhoring garbage and hauling it to the
dumps.
The ordinance as originally passed
, vas solely for the benefit of Iho indlvldp
unl who was appointed sanitary conunlHo
sionor. It was the purpose of the cotinp
ell to give him an opportunity to make
some money out of citizens and garbage
collectors to recompense him for laborious -
ous , tireless and presumably effective
orvlco in the late city campaign.
It is probable that the largo profits to
Lie derived from a skillful manipulation
of the dumps , dump carts and swill-pails
was not fully understood by tiny person
except its bonollciary when the ordinance
was passed. Ho has had ton months of
financial prosperity at the expense of
the city , nnd ought to bo oven by this
time with his gracious polilicnl assofc
elates.
Therefore , if not because the
system is open to extortions
and other abuses and worthless
from a sanitary point of view , then ben
cause political obligations have boon
cancelled by fulfillment , the council
should pass Iho reform ordinance.
The city should assume the managet
monl of this business , and conduct it not'
to sociiro a profit , but in the interests of
health and cleanliness. Under the
amended charter the board of health is
responsible lo Iho council for kcoplntr
Iho city in proper sanitary condition.
Rules for a systematic gathering of gar
bage nnd cleansing of filthy localities
should bo prescribed either by ordinance
or under the authority of an ordinance.
Thu clly scavenger should bo paid a
modoralo salary , and bo under the di
rection of the board of health. Ho
should not hnvo a pecuniary interest in
dumps , dump carts or other sanilary in-
slitutions.
FLAGRANT ADUSKS ,
The most vital thing to Omaha tax
payers just now is an honest and equit
able assessment of property. The work
of our assessors has for years worked the
most rank injustice to the small prop
erty owners and elti/.ens who have bor
rowed money to make permanent im
provemonts.
Millions upon millions of personal
properly is either purponoly overlooked
or assessed at nominal values that make
the assessment a perfect farce. Outmost
extensive land holders and men who
have amassed millions , nnd Imvo hun
dred of thousands of dollars invested
in stocks , bonds nnd mortgages
always manage to manipulate the asses
sors to the detriment of the grout body
of taxpayers.
But the most flagrant abuse practiced
upon our eilizons is Iho assossmonl of
the property of franchised corporations.
On this point an inspection of the tax
return * } of last year makes a revelation
that proves the iniquity of our prosenl
system. Tlio four loading franchisee
corporations in this city are bonded for
nearly nine millions of dollars
but they are paying taxes on loss
than two hundred thousand dollars. In
other words , Iho ratio of taxation is enl >
one forty-third of the aggrognlo of Iho
amount advanced to them by capitalists
while Iho properly of Iho average lax-
payer is assessed in the ratio of one
fourth to one-sixth of its value.
Tun articles of agreement betwooi
the sanitary inspector and ono of the
garbage collectors is a very convincing
proof that the former olllolul is provtui
eating lo a trilling extent in his alll
davil touching the topic of extortionate
charges for the disposition of garbage.
With the protlls of that contract and the
fees paid by Iho city for colloollng deat
animals in mind , it is incredible that
the sanitary commissioner has not made
more than $150 per inonlh ou t of the
garbage business unless Indeed Mr ,
Morrlssoy Is compelled to divide his in
come with somobodv who stands In will
him.

DIDN'T WANT MONEY.
An Exciting Chase After Two Sup
posed Housebreakers.
There .was a great commotion in the vicin
ity of 013 North Twentieth street about .3:00 :
o'clock yesterday morning.
Acouplo of policemen wcrochasing another
braca of Hoeing forms through back yards
and over fences , and the sound ot rapidly re
treating footsteps was over and anon punc
tuated by the sharp crack of a Colt's ' US re
volver.
There was a spicy little story behind it all ,
and is is what caused it.
A railroad conductor named George II.
Kincaid lives near the corner of the street ,
and ho loft home Wednesday morning to make
his regular run , on which ho would be absent
for three days. All would have been well
had not a co'uplo of klndhcartod young men
visited the bouso for the purpose of assisting
In making time pass pleasantly until the head
of the family should return.
At the hour mentioned they concluded to
cut their visit short , butns they were about
to pass out of the front door they saw
Onicors Sheep and MafCray passing and
dodged back Inside. The ofllcors sow them
at thn same Instant nnd concluding that
over.vthing was ripe for bagging a couple of
burglars , slipped around to the rear of
thn > bulldlng Just in time to soothe
the supposed burglars emerge from the back
door nnd make a dash for the alloy. It was a
great chase that followed , und how an.vor.o-iu
the neighborhood got out allvo Is a wonder.
Ono of the fugitives was captured and in
spite of his earnest protests and tearful en
treaties was sent to the station , whcro ho
gave the name of H. A. Uussoll , a Cumlng
street druggist. His partner in flight
was moro successful , as ho was
not captured until ho hud run several
blocks further , when ho ran kor-plunk
into the arms of Detectives Savasro and
lompsoy. Ho said his name was Williams
nnd that ho was Russell's clerk. Ho made a
clean breast of It , and on offering in ovl-
denco n white Hn > ii garment which ho
had hastily tucked under his coat and was
allowed to depart.
Husscll was also released when Judge
Helsloy heard his story , as there was nothing
In it to warrant hold ing him us a suspicious
character , as ho had boon oooked when ar
rested ,
The neighbors had abundant material for
gossip at the Drcakfast table. It was reported
that ono of the fugitives wus shot , nnd a
weeping maiden at No. < ili ! grow wildly
hysterical over thu story , while another sadly
loldcd nway an nbandoncd vest In an obscure

but says that ho carelessly nnd negligently

$15.00 to repair , l.io defendant therefore
asks for SI.03 damages. The casn will nroba-
bly occupy all day at an expense of S-l for
Jurymen and about an equal amount for other
oxocnsos.

Trim Slgiillloniiuu of the 1'nnsovor
K.\l > lnliitl ! by Dr. Hoicuiiu.
The Jowlsh church on Hartley slroot ,
Twentyfourth , was fitted to the doors
tordny nt 10 o'clock by nil audience composed
of the devout followers of the anciout nnd God
fearing Israelites. The occasion wns the cel
ebration of thu feast of the p.vssovor.
The musio for the occasion was remarka
bly line , being furnished bv n quartette con
sisting of MM. Colton , Mi's. Mnollor , Mr.
Ponnoll nnd Mr. Wllklns. Miss Boulter presided -
sided nt the organ. T-
IJr. Hoscnuu , the rabbi , delivered nn np-
proprlato nnd very able address.
Ho reviewed the origin nnd history of the
great festival ol which the meeting wns an
observance. The speaker hold that thu fest
ival wns not originated by Moes , as ao
many blblu students are led to bollovo , but
its origin wns much more ancient. It
wns originally a spring festival , celebrated -
bratod by the Hindoos and ether ancient
tribes of men , long before the exodus of thu
Israelites from Egypt. But Moses gave to
this festival n sanctity , nnd meaning not
known to Iho heathen. The Hindoos nnd
others , prior to the time of Moses Iwllevod
that by sacrifices to tlio god of spring they
could escnpo the dangers thnt might follow
during thu summer months. Mow , the great
law giver taught thnt this occasion should bo
celebrated as ono of emancipation. Nature
suggested to Israel the Idea of the-
bursting fetters of winter , the free
dom from bondngo of every liv
ing thing. It wns , therefore , innda
n festival of froodont , celebrating the escnpo
of the children of Israel from bondage nnrt .
embracing the ancient Idea of oinunclpjlftilf
from winter nnd lUs icy chains.
Ur. Kosenau then advanced the Idea thnt
this great festival should moan oven uioru
than this to intelligent pcoplu of thu present
day. It should mean the freedom of body
nnd mind from the chains of phys
ical and mental bondage that hinder
the progress of thu human raco.
What has boon dona In this
direction has been but the following out of
thu grand message given thu people of Israel.
The great reformations such as followed the
I'Vanch revolution , the American war for Independence -
dependence nnd the emancipation of thu
negro were but the necessary results that
followed the carrying out of the great mes
sage of freedom in nil Its fullness.
The speaker then said that tlio work
begun by Moses was not yet finished.
There were yet thousands of people
in bondngo. Tlio poor , the ig
norant , thn sick und distressed
were bound by chains thnt might bo , to a
very great degree , loosened und broken If
those who wore able to assist la the work
would do their duty.
In closing the snonkor admonished the people
ple to remember the poor and distressed and
to bo liberal In their donations to all worthy
charitable institutions.

was Ignominously thrown into the waste

resist any alteration of the ordinances during
my present term of ofllee. The now charter
gives mo the control und spcclllos thu matters -
tors In mv department. There is no power
in the council to take any of these powers
from me , as that body cannot alter acts of
