Sllnlsler Dcnb.v , who represents the
United Status at the Imperial court of
China , has ventured to formulate < -on-
Itloiis which he dcolics the great
lowers to Impose upon ( Jhlun as a
rice for bolug allowed to govern her-
.elf. . Minister Dcnby has embodied
ils ultimatum Into nlnotci'ii articles
ud enclosed them In a. big otliclal on-
eloi/e / to Secretary areshnm. The con-
ext of this diplomatic- ultimatum has
ecu given out by the State department'
o the American people through the As-
delated prow , hut we fall to learn tlu.it
L has , created any sensation In dlplo-
latlc circles , either : it Washington , St.
etersburg , Di-rlin , London or 1'arN.
ts effect upon China will probably not
10 ascertained for several years to
ome. Minister Den by certainly has
cry quaint Ideals of International com-
t.v , judging by some of the conditions
f the treaty which he would like to
ori'n upon the Chinese at the cannon's
nouth.
Mr. Denby wants the powers , and
spot-hilly the United States , to force
he Chinese emperor to open his conn-
ry to all foreign residents ; to permit
nlHslonarles to travel or reside where
hey please and acquire lands In China ,
le desires China to abstain from tax-
ng foreign goods , excepting Import duty ,
null they reach the consumer , and he
nslsts that the Import tax shall not
xcced 2 per cent. His furthermore
vants stringent measures taken to pre-
it anti-foreign riots and when they
lo occur that the Chinese shall pay
lamages. He also demands the follow-
ng regulations as a condition prcco-
lent to peace :
No viceroy or governor shall have power
o make any contract with foreigners for the
cliaas or supply of any material. Such
sontracts shall be made or authorlzleU by the
mperlal or central government.
Private yachts , non-commercial ships , may
ascend the Yang-tso without taking out
learanccs at Chln-Klang.
The provincial authorities shall have no
tower to tax foreign goods for any purpose
vhatover. Such taxation shall be ordered by
ho central government only.
This is certainly a most extraordinary
irogram. Henceforth nnd forever the
ivlllzod nations will regret that Amer-
ca's Tnllyraud , Denby , was not given
ilcnlpott-ntlary powers by the emperor
> f Japan to dictate terms of peace to
1 Hung Chang.
The rule that has always governed
civilized nations Is that no nation shall
force another nation to do for Its sub-
iects what Is denied by It to the sub-
ects of the treaty nation. That Is milli
ng more nor less than the application
> f the golden rule to International
iffalrs. With the Chinese exclusion
net staring him in the face it Is decid-
idly cool for Mr. Dcnby to demand
hat foreigners shall have the right to
settle In China , to own land , navigate
Ivcrs without customs Intervention
uul dictate the internal revenue
Millcy of China. What would Mr.
Denby say 1C the Chinese dared
to demand that foreign ships shall
have the right to navigate the
Mississippi , the Hudson or the Great
Lakes without customs inspection , and
what would be thought of an attempt
to regulate American revenue taxes by
foreign powers ? Are the Chinese to be
irohlbltud from Imposing internal taxes
when such taxes are Imposed without
nternational protest in France , In Rus
sia and in other civilized countries ?
Would this country or any civilized na
tion allow any other nation to dictate
what olllcers shall make Its contracts
for merchandise Imported from other
countries ? The whole series of Denby
treaty suggestions will be regarded as
an Impertinence. There Is nothing to
warrant the minister of a neutral power
In meddling with the Internal or ex
ternal affairs of the country to which
he is accredited , much less to formulate
conditions for pending treaties between
belligerent nations which have not In
vited his kind otllces or sought his ad
vice. *
PERVKKTINO HISTOin' .
The reunion of the confederate
veterans at IlQiiston , Tex. , Is an event
which no fair-minded citizen of the re
public will llnd fault with. It is the
privilege of these men , all of whom.lt Is
proMimed , arc now loyal to the union
and have all the rights of citizen
ship , to meet together when and
where they will. They have the
unquestionable right to come to
gether for the purpose of talking
over the experiences of that mighty con
flict lu which they were engaged , re
newing the friendships then made , ex
tolling the valor of dead comrades am
considering what may be done for the
benefit of the survivors. No man wll
deny them the right to do this , for thej
are American citizens , possessing ever }
privilege and right which that Implies.
Hut while freely conceding nil this It
Is not Inconsistent therewith to expect
of these veterans of the confederacy a
fair and candid adherence to the trull
of history In respect to the cause of the
great civil conflict , Instead of attempt
Ing to justify the rebellion of the soutl
by perverting history. . It Is regretable
that any utterance nt this rcunloi
should give warrant for the belief tha
there still prevails among the sou then
people who were In sympathy with UIL
rebellion a feeling that the effort to dis
member the union was justifiable niu
that the "lost cause" was a righteous
cause , because such a feeling is no
compatible with a true and sincere
loyalty to the union , nor can it exist tin
accompanied by the spirit of sectional
Ism. The address of General Gordon
counseled the veterans to give "no beet
to Imprudent or thoughtless efforts to
stimulate sectional animosities In anj
quarter , " but the report of General Lee
which followed , seems to have beei
framed to stimulate such animosities
According to his view , It was the'nortl
that was responsible for the rebellion
the south having been driven to nttemp
the destruction of the union in order to
secure domestic tranqulllty and loca
self-government. Yet from the founda
tlon of the government It had boon do in
Inated by the southern section of the
union. Kve.'y construction of the constl
tutlon and almost every act of loglsla
tlon affecting the Interests of that sec
tlou had been made to accord with the
demands of the south. The lustltutloi
of slavery had been most carefully safe
guarded and In almost every way the
southern swtlon of the union was the
favored section. How , then , was its
domestic tranqulllty disturbed or local
sH-lf-govcrnmenl Interfered with ?
The plain and Indisputable truth Is
that the rebellion was inaugurated by
the south In the Interest of slavery.
The purpose of the Instigators nnd
leaders of that assault upon the union
was to establish a confederacy with
the Institution of slavery as Its corner
stone , and to perpetuate nnd extend
that Institution. No one who will read
the democratic platforms of 18.J ( and
1SOO , dictated by the southern element
f the party , can have n doubt as to the
notlve which led the south to rebel ,
'he history of that great conflict and
IIP cause that brought It about has been
vntten and Its authority will be ac-
opted for all time. Some portion of the
outhern people may reject it , but Its
crdlct is unchangeable. That fixes the
esponslblllty for the rebellion upon the
outh and there it will always remain.
.1 SAM : COMHTIOX ,
There appears to be no apprehension
imong treasury otllclals at Washington
lint the government will have any dilll-
cnlty In meeting the demands upon it
jt'tweeii now and the meeting of the
lext congress in December , although
here Is reason to expect that the bal-
nice In excess of the gold reserve will
> } that time be pretty nearly exhausted.
Vt the close of last week the available
lalance In the treasury was ? Sri,000OOU ,
'xcluslve ' of the gold reserve of $1)7,500- )
) ( K ) , and while the former has probably
> eon slightly reduced since the goltl
eserve remains Intact. There Is still
lue the treasury from the bond syndi
cate about $10,000.000 , so that the nc-
.nal icsources at this time are about
$11)2,000,000 ) , Including the reserve ,
which Is regarded as a safe condition.
The deficit at the end of the current
Ilscal year will probably not bo loss
than $ r > : t,000.000. With the beginning
) f the new Ilscal year , July 1 , heavy
ippropriations become available , but
; reasury officials estimate that with re-
elplH running no heavier than now the
lellclt for the live months from July 1
Lo December 1 will not exceed $ . ' (5,000- (
)00. ) Hut there Is reason to believe that
the receipts will Improve. At any rate
the figures appear to fully warrant the
conclusion that the treasury will not
lave to resort to another bond Issue
this year , though of course the
jossibllity of another raid upon
the gold reserve Is to bo consid
ered. Of this , however , there would
seem to be very little danger In view of
the fact tliat American securities con
tinue to be In good demand abroad
mil that the tendency of foreign capital
is In the direction of this country. It
has been suggested that the syndicate ,
which has the option on another loan if
It should be ordered before October ,
might force the treasury to negotiate
more bonds , but there Is no indication
of any such purpose. The syndicate
made a very handsome profit out of the
bond transaction , but the benefit to the
country has been enormously greater ,
and as this Is understood to bo what
the syndicate sought to accomplish
It Is not likely now to attempt
to undo its valuable work. Talk
about an extra session of con
gress has ceased , and with the Im
proving Industrial and business condi
tion that Is taking place there appears
to be no good reason for apprehension
that the government will be at all em
barrassed In its financial affairs be
tween now and the meeting of the next
congress. That body , however , will be
called upon to give prompt attention to
the question of revenue.
TllK KEKD OP JiBTTKR MAllj FACILITIES.
The commerce of a city depends very
largely upon the quality of her news
papers and the extent to which they
are circulated In the surrounding terri
tory. The merchants and manufactur
ers of Omaha are just as much Inter
ested In the extension and Improvement
of the facilities for circulating the
Omaha dailies as are their publishers.
Wherever the Omaha dallies circulate
there the Omaha merchant and manu
facturer can llnd a market for his
wares. The publicity given to Omaha
enterprise , and the detailed quotations
of her markets and constant advertis
ing of her mercantile firms , banks , etc. ,
awaken nil interest and pave the way
for commercial intercourse. Our mer
chants and manufacturers may not
realize the advantage they derive from
the extensive circulation of local papers
and the positive loss to them lu the
curtailment of mail facilities. It Is ,
nevertheless , a fact susceptible of prool
that the local dallies are the most effec
tive drummers which go out of a city.
They are at work day and night , In
season nnd out of season , wherever
there Is a field for traffic. Hut the
Held of the local press Is clrcumscrlbei
by the facilities nt their disposal.VItl
reasonably rapid and regular mall fa
cllltles Into western Iowa the Omaha
dallies would be able to hold Uie field
against all comers , nnd the annexation
of that territory to Omaha commer
chilly would follow as a natural so
qneiice. What Is true of western Iowa
Is equally true of north Nebraska
which Is today more remote from
Omaha commercially than Wyoming 01
the Hlnck Hills region.
Why Omaha business men have
shown such Inexcusable Indifference
concerning the wretchedly Inadequate
mail facilities of this city passes com
prehension. Commercial bodies In othei
cities are constantly striving to secure
rapid and reliable mall service Into the
territory upon which they rely foi
trade , and their efforts have In mosi
Instances been successful. It Is no
simply a question of expediting mer
cantile correspondence , but to bring
nhout the rapid transit of the medlun
through which exchanges arc ftu JH
tated. Will Omaha business men
awaken to their own Interest and unltL
In demanding better mall facilities out
of this city , or will they permit them
selves to bo distanced by commcrcla
ilvals , and allow the channels of trutlt
to be flooded with their papers to the
exclusion of the Oihaha dallies. Fron
a dollar and cents standpoint The Hoe
has little to gain by agitating the cs
tabllshmcut of Improved mall facilities
'or ' Omaha , excepting so far as these
acllltles would Jiclp to promote Omaha's
commercial supremacy and enlarge the
radius of her tributary territory. There
s no money to Ju made out of the sub-
scrlptlon prlctf ? t f'a ' few thousand pa-
> er . In fact , iho , cost of getting such
mtronagc and'IOHie.s ' Incidental thereto
n a sparsely Kvttli'd region more than
ffset the prolHs. , We do , however , re
gard It as essptttlal to the future com-
nerclal prosperjty of Omaha that the
losltlon which Kbe , has heretofore held
hrough her Ifical- dallies shall not be
indermlned tl'u-ough the want of good
mill facilities. " *
Of all other holidays of the calendar
decoration day should be fittingly and
generally observed. There Is as a mat
er of fact more justification in such
omnu'iuorntlon of the deeds of fallen
loroes than tin-re Is In popular celebra-
Ion of any other anniversary. It Is
o be regretted that In recent years
decoration day In Omaha has not been
> ropery ! observed. Grand Army posts ,
o be sure , have done their part , but
here has been no considerable Interest
nanlfested by our citizens generally.
The bondsmen of ex-Treasurer Hill
nive been given another breathing spell ,
which , we presume , Is highly appro-
dated.

The hypocrisy of John Bull In the Bering
sea tarco needs no further revelation than
his present attitude. Upon the heels of the
British refusal to send a co-operative patrol
fleet Into the northwestern pealing waters
comes the companion announcement that the
Paris tribunal regulation , which provides that
vessels destined for _ aReallng voyage In
Japanese waters shall hove their sealing
equipment under decks whllo passing north
of the 35th degree of latitude and eastward
of 180th decree of longitude , will not bo en
forced against Canadian sealers this season.
The same old excuse Is given to the effect
that the J425.000 promised to Canadian ves
sels as Indemnity for Illegal seizures was not
appropriated by the United States congress.
Congress was not by duty bound to accept
that cellmate. The Paris tribunal expressly
commlttoJ the whole question of damages lo
arbitration. Until that arbitration , to which
our Canadian cousins have Just been politely
invited , shall have been concluded , Uncle Sam
should demand the fulfilment by John Bull
of his contract.

New York World : Secretary Carlisle spoke
at Covlngton , Ky. , last night In behalf of
sound money. He took the advanced ground
of gold monometallism as the only program
of sound money now possible In this country.
He will be criticised of course for Incori-
slrtency , as he was once an advccato of silver
coinage. But hO'prcbably knows hs ! Emerson
well enough to remember that narrow con
slstency is "the bugbear of small .minds. . "
Denver News : The News performs a duty
to the public In setting It right about Mr.
Carlisle's previous atlltudo upon the silver
question. It was Its purpose * lo print his 'TS
speech side by side with his speech at Cov-
Inglon , but reading It In full for the first tlm ?
It was discovered that Mr. Cleveland's secre
tary was not so inconsistent as the News , lit
common with nearly all the rest of the coun
try , had been led to believe , and In making
this explanation about that speech a plain
duty to the readers of the News nnd simple
Justice to a high official of the government
Is performed.

WASHINGTON , May 23. Sccrolary of Ag-
rlcullure Morton nnJ Dr. Salmon , chief ot the
bureau of nnlmal Industry , arc very much ex-
erclivd over the attack made upon the cffccl-
vcncss of the meat Inspection now carried on
under the act of 1S90. The Inspection pro-
vldeJ for under the net wn to inset the de-
nands of foreign governments to which our
meat was exported , but llto nulhorlty given
ho secretary was Insufficient nnd Mr. Mor
on has tried In every way to Induct1 congress
o cure the defects. The Irtith has been that
whllo the Inspection separated the he-althy
rom lite diseased meat nnd prevented the expert -
port of the latter , the secretary was not
clothed with authorlly lo compel the deitruc-
lon of condemned meat and this could bo ! > old
n the domestic markets. If the legislatures
of the states had taken steps to co-operate
xvlth the department by provUInc for the
destruction of carcasses condemned by the
'e-Jcral Inspectors the Inspection would hnvo
jeen rendered effective. But this was not
lone , and the secretary appealed to congress.
Last December , \ hllo the agricultural appro
priation was under discussion , he drew up an
imcndment lo Iho inspection set and urged
Senator George and others to Incorporate It
n the bill. The amendment the secretary
preparoJ empowered him to cause nil car
casses which have been Inspected and for any
liyglenlc or olher reasons condemned , to bo
disposed of In a way that shall effectually
prevent the sale ot the same for human food ,
and provided a penalty of $1,000 for violation
of the law. The amendment was accepted In
n greatly modified form. It does not go as
tar ns the secretary desired. The amend
ment , however , docs not go into effect until
July 1.
Meantime the department objects strenu
ously to the Intimations thrown out that the
inspection ns at present conducted In noviso
protects the domestic consumers.
The secretary without the definite authority
of law Insists that he has accomplished much
with reference to trichinae In pork. Dr. Sal
mon says much public misapprehension ex
ists. Swine arc not microscopically examined
Tor trlchonosls , save such as arc Intended
for export to Germany , the only country that
demands and exacts such an examination.
Other countries do not require It and rely
upon the people to sea thai pork Is well
cooked the only secure method of avoiding
trichinosis.
