dilllcult to find a democrat possossinj

NVOAJt HOVNT1ES IN W/UTOKK.
It la estimated from report * received
by the commissioner of internal revenue
that the bounties on sugar for the cur
rent fiscal year will amount to alwut
10,100,000 , which Is considerably loss
than was estimated by Secretary Foster.
The payments already made amount to
over $3,000,000 and a number of applica
tions remain to bo adjusted. The total
crop on which bounty will bo paid during
the present fiscal year is estimated at
about-ISO,000,000 pounds. Tlio production
of boot sugar has advanced from 12,000-
000 pounds In 1892 to 27,000,000 pounds
in 1803. According to the reports
of the government inspectors the effect
of the bounty has not been to increase
the number of establishments , but has
been to enlarge the old ones and stimu
late the introduction of now machinery
and the Increase in the producing ca
pacity.
A dispatch from Washington a few
days ago stated that a plan for suspend
ing tlio sugar bounty without waiting
for the slow action of congress lias been
suggested to the president and may * bo
adopted. The plan is for the secretary
of the treasury to issue an order to
his subordinates to draw no more
arrants and make no payments
n account of sugar bounties , the object
xslng to bring on a test case and got bore -
> ro the courts the question whether the
aymcnt of gratuities to private indi-
iduals out of the money received by
axatlon upon the people was within the
iowor of congress under the consti-
ution. It is urged that this is the only
ray in which the constitutional qucs-
lon can bo properly raised , and it is
understood that immediately after his
'oturn to Washington the president
ill ask the attorney general for an
'pinion ' as to the constitutionality of
wunties and also whether it is within
ho power of the executive to test the
luestlon by refusing payment.
It would seem obvious that such action
: m the part of the president or secretary
of the treasury as is reported to bo
indor consideration would bo distinctly
Arbitrary. The sugar schedule of the
arilT act of 1890 provides that "on and
iftcr July 1 , 1891 , and until July 1 , 1003 ,
hero shall bo paid , from any moneys In
.he . treasury not otherwise appropriated ,
.inder the provisions of section 3,089 of
the Hevihed Statutes , to the producer of
sugar testing not less than 90 degrees by
the polariscopo , from beets , sorghum , or
a'1 cano grown within the United
States , or from maple blip pro-
lueed within the United States , a
Bounty of 2 cents per [ pound , and upon
sucli sugar testing less than 90 degrees
by the polariscopo and not loss than 80
degrees , a bounty of 11 cents per pound ,
; ujdor such rules and regulations as the
commissioner of internal revenue , with
the approval of the secretary of the
treasury , shall prescribe. " This is as
clearly mandatory as any section of the
arilT act , and the proposition that it
may bo nullified and imulo nugatory by
executive action appears preposterous.
If the president or secretary of- the
treasury may render inoperative
the bounty clause of the tariff act why
not any other of the provisions of that
law which they may assume to bo un
constitutional ? It is not necessary to
conjecture what the supreme court
night decide regarding the power of
congress to authorize the payment of
bounties to individuals out of the public
moneys. Manifestly the duty of the
executive department of the govern
ment is to carry out the provisions of
the law as it finds them and leave the
question of annulling it , in whole or In
part , to the legislative department.
TIIK 1'KXslOX OW/G'B.
It hardly seems probable , with the ex
amination an applicant for a pension
must undergo , that there are as many
fraudulent cases on the list as claimed.
Yet It would be strange If among the
908,000 pensioners on the rolls some undeserving -
deserving beneficiaries could not be
found. With a view of .discovering who
they are and to prevent the addition of
other fraudulent claims , the instruc
tions of the acting commissioner of pen
sions , D. I. Murphy , to special exam
iners in the field are judicious and
timely. lie directs thorn to use all dili
gence in searching out such cases as
may require revision by the bureau , but
admonishes thorn to use extreme caution
and wise discrimination in so doing.
They are also reminded that it Is not
the intention of the administration to
disturb any just allowance of pensions.
Nor Is it intended either that special
examiners hhuli bo made parties to petty
malice and local quarrels.
Now that Judge Lochron , the newly
appointed commissioner , has arrived at
ills post , it is likely that there will soon
be some now rulings and constructions of
existing laws to conform with the views
the president is known to entertain in
reference thereto. Mr. Cleveland as
sumes that the condition of the pension
list is as appalling as has boon assorted.
IIo ib said to agree fully in the views ex
pressed by the democratic chairman of
the houst ) committee on pensions as tc
the character and construction of the act
of June 27 , 1890 , to which reference has
been made in the columns of TIIK BKH.
Ho thinks the evident intentions of con
gress have been diverted by rulings anil
constructions. What ho wants Commis'
sionor Loehren first to do is to gc
through the entire law and construe it.
It is claimed that Loohron's ideas are
practically the same us Cleveland's
Secretary Smith and Senator Palmer
chairman of the pensions commit
tee , nro of Hko accord , They wanl
to see justice done deserving
pensioners and those not entitled bj
'equity to pensions to bo cut off. Whai
can bo done by rulings to carry out the
intentions of the administration in thli
direction will bo rtono. But the proba'
bllitlcs now are that the president wll
send a message to congress suggesting
now laws to advance the reforms he
dooms necessary.
Some of the democrats In congress arc
on record as in favor of liberal pensions
while others are hostile to the jiitlrt
system. That there will be a hot light
certainly in the senate , over ponslor
legislation is a foregone conclusion. The
president understands this and wil
rely upon Luehren to furnish informn
tlon by which the administration expect
to force through the legislation Urn
it will recommend. Judge Lochroi
, has been posting himself on the la
since his appointment. Immediately
upon signifying his acceptance of the
commlssionorahlp ho had copies of nil
pension laws , old and now , and decisions
and rulings sotit him from Washington ,
IIo is prepared to assume the important
responsibilities that at once will devolve
upon him. A Washington dispatch says
that a conference will Immediately be
hold between the president , secretary of
the interior , Senator Palmer and the
commissioner at which the program to
bo followed will bo mapped out.
THAT UA'tOX DKl'Or COMMITTEE.
Great stress has been laid by City At
torney Connell upon the action of the so-
called union depot committee and the
recommendations it is said to have made
to the council for the ratification of the
Council compromise. The names of the
committee are paraded by Mr. Council
in print to Impress the community with
the fact that the compact was made and
ratified by representative men who wore
above all influence from the corporate
managers who constitute the Union
Depot company.
What are the facts ? The committee
as originally appointed was composed of
two bankers closely allied with the
managers in question ; John A. Ilarbach ,
whoso subserviency to their interest is
notorious ; A. J. Poppleton , who was
: nero than half way committed to them ,
nd Messrs. George W. Llnln&or , E.
losowater , Dr. S. D. Mercer and W. J.
onnoll. The editor of TIIK BEE was
.cslgnated as chairman of the commit-
eo. The committee held two or throe
iieetings with the railroad managers
vith no definite understanding. Then
ho chairman was called away from
Omaha and at his request Major Bal-
iombo was substituted temporarily. It
, 'as during the absence of tlio chairman
, hut the Kimball dispatch proposing a
ughandlo compromise was forwarded
, o President Clark and the underground
n-ircs wore sot in motion by Mr. Connell
o got the council to ratify it. To make
he thing plausible the city engineer
s added to the committee , but Mayor
Bo in is , who is designated by the charter
: is ono of the contracting parties , for
ionic reason was entirely ignored.
Mr. Connell now tolls us the commlt-
co unanimously endorsed his plan of
ettlement and Andrew Rosowater's
lame is given as ono of the chief factors
n the compromise. The fact is that
Andrew Rosewater had no part in the
conditions agreed upon. All ho was
asked to do was to examine the plans and
give his opinion as to the substantial
character of the proposed depot build-
ng. Ills signature to the report is do-
coptlve. Ho knew little or nothing about
ho conditions embodied in the compromise -
promise ordinance and was not oven
iwaro that the title to part of Tenth
treot and other streets was given away
by the ordinance. Another very singular
performance was the calling and hold-
ng of committee meetings without noti-
'ying ' or inviting its recognized chair-
nan to bo present. The fact is , his
presence was not wanted because ho was
known , to bo unfriendly to the jughandlo
deal.
deal.Another
Another singular performance was
the farcical mass meeting of taxpaying
citizens invited to discuss the depot
question , called the day af toe Christmas ,
which last year was a quasi-holiday , because -
cause Christmas came on Sunday. It
was a palpable scheme to hoodwink the
public , and the manner in which it was
iandled and rushed through by the
council affords convincing proof of that
fact.
fact.Tho
The less said about the action of that
ommitteo and the la to council on the
depot matter the bettor.
THE committee that has boon investi
gating the charge that the executive
committee of the so-called Iowa State
Temperance alliance last year sold out
to tlio democrats reports that the
charge is untrue. However , the Sioux
City Times denounces the finding as a
whitewashing report , but only what waste
to have boon expected. It declares that
every facility of the alliance was devoted -
voted to the defeat of the republicans
and the aid of the democrats in last
year's political contest in the state.
And now , says the Tunes , "tho further
fact is firmly established in the minds of
the people of Iowa that the so-callod
State Temperance alliance Is no longer ,
and for some time has not been , a tern-
peranco alliance at all , but merely a
partisan machine subordinated to the
ends of the prohibition third party , with
particular malice toward the republican
party in this state. " From this it is
pretty evident that the day of this or
ganization's usefulness in the promotion
of temperance work Is past and the people -
plo of Iowa will not bo long In compre
hending the situation.
TIIK gentleman who arrived in thla
country from Paris some days ago to
cordially tender Americans a chance to
subscribe to the stock of a now Panam t
canal scheme , does nit appear to have
mot with llattoring1 success. The wide
divergence between his estimate of the
probable cosfc and time required for com
pletion of the canal , and that submitted
in the recent trials at Paris may have
deterred American capitalists from con
fiding impllolty in the Frenchman's
views. Tlio estimate submitted by tin
government prosecutor was that at leas
8300,000,000 would bo required and thu
the work would consume twenty years
This commissioner claims that $ -10,000 ,
000 will complete the canal in seven o ;
olglit years. This discrepancy may suggest
gost opportunity for General Vlfquali
when ho gets down In the neighborhooi
of the big ditch.
TllHRK is ample opportunity for lion
Carl Schtirz , who succeeds Mr. Goorg
William Curtis as president of the NJI
tlonal Civil Service Reform league an
chairman of the executive committee
to evidence his fitness for the position
It is to bo apprehended that the oxecu
tlve managers of tho'present administrti
tlon have ' no clear conception of th
meaning of civil service roformof whic !
they talk so glibly. Mr. Sohurz may b
able to impress upon Mr. Cleveland th
fact that the appointment of , r > ,000 fourtli
class postmasters by Mr. Maxwell with !
six weeks , as the price of political sor\
ices , is not in accord with the polio
expressed by the unequivocal uttoi
ances of the president. No
docs the fact that , oven the smallos
fndornl appointment tnndo In seine of
the ntatoa rcprcacmtW in his cabinet ,
must first bo O. K.M Uy the dopartmant
secretary , mid inucjf ft l" ° pleasure of

There Is much to Iw done In every

ustlco to Mr. Howe wo are compelled ,

Mr. IIowo volunteered his services with-
ut pay on condition that the costs of

vho wore back of him.
This fact was known to Mr. Connell
jofore ho published the fnlso charge
against Mr. IIowo , and wo cannot com-
irohend why ho persisted in giving it

THE senator from Otoe who has been

nans.Tho investigation of the restrictions

on the part of the Germans , will afford
Mr. Mattes ample opportunity for the

SECRETARY MORION' has dismissed

The secretary is said to have little use
for that organization and the alliance as
well. Among other things ho said to
the grangers that Ho , , resented the re
fusal of the Nebraska fegislaturo to pass
longratulatory resolutions upon his recent -
cent accession to power. It was duo , ho
thought , to the opposition of alliance
members , who charged that ho had de
nounced that organization during the
campaign. The third party politicians
in Nebraska will got little aid and com
fort from Mr. Morton , or for that matter ,
from any other democrat who owes his

At the mooting of the Utah free silver
convention a letter was read from Congress
man Bryan , a Nebraska democrat. In which
he expressed the opinion that the agricul
tural or wheat-growing states had sutforod
more from the fall in the value of stiver than
the mining states. His remedy for these al
leged sufferings was the adoption by con
gress of the policy of minting cheap dollars
from donrcclatett silver and expelling the
gold money from circulation and the coun
try.
try.Mr. . Bryan will bo nt Washington in Sep
tember to impress his policy on congress.
Before ho makes the attempt ho should pre-
tiaro himself to give a satisfactory answer to
the question how it will holi the grain-prow-
ing farmer to have to pay 150 silver t/l-cent

Boyd's Now theater was well filled last
evening in honor of its popular manager
who was tendered a testimonial. After the
orchestra hail played the first entr'acte ,
voices were heard from behind the curtain ,
which suddenly rose and discovered Man
ager Hey el in talk with one of the theater
employes. The lu ti lied into the wings ,
leaving Mr. Ho.yd .tlone on the stage and
evidently somewhat embarrassed - he docs
not often make n stage appearance Heforo
ho had time to decide on any action Mr
Llpman advanced from the wings and
warmly grasping the reluctant manager by
the hand held him till he told the andlcneo
of the little act that had been arranged for
though the people might not find It on their
programs Mr. Llpman very happily ex
plained how : i number of Mr Boyd's friends ,
augmented by the employes of the theater ,
had conspired together to inako
tangible token of their high regard
for Mr. Itoyd IIo then on behalf of
those same friends presented Manager
Boyd with n handsome diamond stud ,
echoing , as he said , the sentiments of these
who contributed to the testimonial when ho
hoped the memory of the act and the sentl-
nient that prompted it would shine in his
| memory as long ns the brilliant diamond
! should .scintillate in his immaculate shirt
front.
Mr. Itoyd declared he was no orator as Mr.
Liiunan was , but in simple phrase and tone
sincere ho thanked his friends for tholr crys-
tallied good will IIo admitted that per
haps he had something to do with inducing
the governor to build the now liouso and was
happy in the feeling that Ills Judgment had
been justified and his hopes realized , for the
theater had been a financial success Uolt-
crating his thanks , be bo ved as the eurtuiu
fell again , and the "act not on tlio bill11 was
over.
It was Mr. Boyd's first appearance on the
stage before an audience , and considerable
ingenuity had to bo exercised by Mr. Uharlio
Stephens and Stage Manager Young In con
cocting the ruse that was so successful in
Inducing the difllJeut beneficiary behind the
footlights.
