The resignation of the Hosebcry min
istry cniiflcd no surprise. It had long
boon expected , Its steadily waning power
and Inlluence pointing to such n result
an Inevitable. The complete failure of
Bosebery as a political leader has few
parallels In British history. When he
assumed the premiership bin parly , era
a largo majority of It. had high hopes
that he would achieve n brilliant suc
cess. He possessed the confidence of
Mr. Gladstone and it was supposed
would have the constant counsel of
that great statesman. He had shown
marked ability as one of ( thulstone's
lieutenants and for years had been
regarded as his logical successor as
leader of the liberal party. He started
out as premier with a brave declaration
of principles and policies , creating the
expectation that his administration waste
to bo both aggressive nnd progressive.
It has been neither , but on tlie contrary
has shown a most extraordinary lack of
both force and courage , with the re
sult of losing the confidence and respect
of Its party nnd tlie country. Rose-
bery as a political leader goes into last
ing obscurity , but his failure leaves
the liberal party more radical than he
found It. The attempt to aid tlie party
with an aristocratic alliance lias ut
terly failed. Those who , like Labou-
chere , urged that It was n grave mis
take to go to tlie House of Lords for
a liberal leader are vindicated by the
result Radicalism n'njnot succeed.
It Is now obviously in a hopeless ml-
I'ority , but it Is the only tiling left.
Tlie restoration of tlie conservatives
to power Is not encouraging to those
who have hoped for i > olitlcal progress In
( Srent Britain. With Salisbury and
Balfoiir again in control it will lia
surprising If the policy pursued Is not
one of reaction. Certainly nothing is
to be expected in the Interest of Irish
home rule , there will be no restriction
upon the power of tlie House of Lords ,
and the people will acquire no new or
additional political privileges. Tlie re
forms which tlie liberal party , It was
fondly hoped , would Institute , will get
no favor from a conservative ministry.
The tide of political advancement will
bo checked or turned back and all the
conditions of a stern conservatism will
prevail. This seems to TJO demanded
by the present sentiment of the British
people , for It Is believed that In the
event of a dissolution of 1'arllament and
a general election the conservatives
would win a decisive victory. At any
rate It seems that the conservative lead
ers are prepared to try conclusions in
a general election.
The American people arc interested In
the change from a liberal to a con
servative ministry In Great Britain , for
it may have an Important bearing upon
tlie questions between the two coun
tries awaiting settlement There Is
reason to believe that the change will
not iniTease the dllllculties in the way
of settling these questions , for it Is
hardly probable Unit witli Salisbury at
the head of the British government
there would be a less friendly spirit
shown toward the United States than
the Kosebery ministry lias manifested ,
particularly with respect to tlie Bering
sea matter. There Is another inter
esting question suggested by the change ,
and that. Is the possible effect It may
have upon the canst' of bimetallism In
Great Brltajn. Salisbury and Balfour
are on record as favorable to bimetal
lism , tlie latter being one of its strong
est advocates , and it Is reasonably to
but expected tJiat their accession to
power would give n great Impetus to
the cause. But will a conservative
ministry with these men In control
make any real concession to bimetal
lism as n government policy ? Will It
be found more favorable Uian Its pre
decessor to an International monetary
conference ? These are questions which
cannot now be answered with any de
gree of certainty.

Keports from abroad continue to show
: i strong tendency on the part of In
vestors favorable to American se
curities. Mr. J. I'ierpont Morgan , tlit
well known llnancier , returned from
Kurope a few days ago , where he had
been on un Important financial mission ,
u part of which was to create a better
sentiment toward our securities , and he
represents the feeling as very satis
factory , lie says foreign capitalists
recognize the fact that tlie govern
ment is pledged to maintain tile gold
standard and arc consequently disposed
to buy American securities , especially
those of u very choice character , for
which the market Is almost unlimited.
He stated that the issues which have
recently been sold nro selling at large
premiums. The expressions of Mr.
Morgan , than whom no one Is u higher
authority or has better oppor
tunities for forming a trustworthy
Judgment ( if llnancinl prospects , were
those of complete confidence In the
situation , nnd undoubtedly his report
and opinion will have a stimulating
effect upon security Investment In this
country.
But tlie significant fact in the situa
tion Is that IIH n result of the foreign
demand for American securities the
danger of a drain of gold from this
country to Kurope will probably be
averted. Our exports of merchandise
have for some time past been running
behind our Imports and there Is ground
for apprehending that this will con
tinue to be the case for a considerable
period in the future. Our tariff law
favors IniportntloiiH at n time when
Kuropu does not require an extraordin
ary amount of our products and Is not
likely to in the Immediate future. But
with n liberal demand for American
securities the excess of Imports over
exports , If that should continue , will
not necessitate n drain upon our gold
resources.
Knlth In the pledge of the govern
ment to maintain the gold standard
Is the explanation of the foreign de
mand for American securities. Ho long
as there existed any doubt as to
whether this .pledge i-ould be fnltllled.
by reason of the possibility of a radi
cal change In our monetary system
Unit might carry the country to u silver
basis , our securities were not wanted
abroad and those who had Invested
In them sent them home as rapidly as
possible. That experience wo should
huvo agulu If It uhould appear that
there wns serious danger of the coun
try going to a silver basis. Foreign
Investors have now , however , no reason
to apprehend ( Ills. There will bo no
legislation by the next congress to
jeopardize the maintenance of our pres
ent standard and nil signs Indicate the
election of a president nnd congress
next year favorable to keeping good the1
pledge of the government.

City Treasurer Bolln declares that he
Is In the hands of his friends. We take
this to mean that ho Is ready to step
down and out If his friends advise him
to do so or to hold onto his olllce If
they request him to remain. Mr. Bolln's
friends In this case are presumed to
be ( lie sureties on his olllclal bond.
Mr. Bolln Is very much like n man
who Is allllcted with some fatal malady ,
but does not understand himself. He
does not. apparently comprehend that
the disclosure of shortage In the city
treasury is fatal to his retention In the
olllce of treasurer. The law does not
contemplate that the bondsmen of nn
officer found In default shall have the
option to continue him in otllce or have
him retired as they may deem best for
their own Interests. The law takes ac
count only of the Interests of
the taxpayers and tlie offense
committed against tlie state. The law
Imposes tlie duty , disagreeable though
it may be , upon the municipal authori
ties , which In tills Instance are the
mayor and council , to depose the de
faulting officer and fill the vacancy
without needless delay.
Mr. Bolln and his bondsmen certainly
have no reason to complain of undue
severity on the part of the olllcers
charged with enforcing tlie law. They
have been allowed to hold possession of
tlie treasury and have been given am
ple opportunity to turn all the assets
that were available Into cash. They
have had the privilege of overhauling
the books with their own expert , while
the city has as yet employed no one to
check up the deficit.
Tlie time for further trilling has now
gone by. The Bee voices the demand
of citizens of all classes In calling for
Immediate action by the mayor and
council to carry out the letter and In
tent of the law governing the case.

One of the llreeating die-in-tlie-last-
dlteh democrats asserted at the la to
peace conference that he didn't propose
to sanction any scheme that would de
liver over the 9,000 democrats in the
city of Omaha to n mere handful of
citizens who sought to organize a nonpartisan -
partisan campaign against boodlerlsm
and sectarian proscription. This re
calls forcibly Fnlstaff's famous men In
buckram who doubled In number every
time they w n > mentioned. Where
were these 0,000 democrats a year ago
nnd whence are they to come this year ?
Tlie total vote in tlie city of Omaha
at the last general city election In No
vember , IS'J.'I , was , for mayor , 1(1,192 ( , of
which number Bemis received 0,874 ,
Bedford ' 4.7i5 ( , Hascall 3,959 , Mercer
.r > 91. The highest vote received by any
democrat was received by Ilowell for
eonncllmnn-nt-largp. who polled 7-l"7 ;
but Ilowell received fully l.tiOO repub
lican votes because in making up tickets
of nine men many republicans selected
what they considered the most availa
ble timber. Last year In the most
exciting state election the highest num
ber of votes cast for any democrat was
polled for .lames K. Boyd. Ills total
vote in Douglas county was CM ! ( ! , and
in Omaha alone less than r > .i > 00. The
total vote cast for both Boyd and
Denver In Douglas county only aggre
gated 10,0:58 : , as against 11,019 received
by Mercer. The aggregate vote trailed
In Douglas county for state treasurer
gave the candidate of the free silver
democrats 15,007 , and that of the Mor
ton democrats 1,014 , or u total for the
two of 5'JSl.
These figures certainly afford very lit
tle comfort to the dle-m-the-last-ditch
democrats. They show beyond any
doubt that even if It were possible to
fuse the free silver democrats with the
straights they would still remain In n
hopeless minority if party lines were
drawn.

Ono of tlie most important functions
of tlie Agricultural department is fur
nishing crop reports , but the value of
this sen-lee depends upon the trust
worthiness of the reports and generally
they have not possessed this character.
This fact lias been admitted by the
department otliclals and they have very
properly formulated n new system ,
which It Is announced is practically
completed nnd will be at once put Into
operation. Tlie plan Is said to be very
comprehensive , requiring the work of
about HO.OOO agents. The country has
been divided into groups of states , of
which there are twenty-one , which
Is less than half the number of divisions
nmler the old arrangement. There is
to be appointed a statistical correspond-
out In each township in the United
.States , who will report directly to the
statistical ! of the department , and
whoso reports will be consolidated Into
averages , thus furnishing n safeguard
against error. It is stated that the
secretary of agriculture will ask con
gress to authorize nn annual agriculture
census , which will furnish accurate
data regarding area anil product of the
principal crops , thereby affording a bet
ter basis for crop statistics than any
now available.
It Is very Important that crop statis
tics should be as nearly as possible
accurate. The Agricultural depart
ments of foreign governments nro ex
ceedingly careful In this matter nnd re
ports sent out by them nre accepted by
all Interested as being as nearly correct
as it Is possible to make them. It has
been conclusively shown that the re
ports of our department , at least dur
ing the last two or three years , have
been far from trustworthy and there
has been nn earnest demand for Improvement -
provement from commercial bodies and
from grain growers. The National
Board of Trade had the matter under
consideration at its last session and
submitted lo the Department of Agri
culture a plan for getting crop statis
tics , much of which has been adopted.
The working of the new system , which
It Is said , by the way , will bis operated

old one , wnT be regarded with vnry

Many of the railroads are doing more for

In such a way that miscellaneous and habit

The bicycle is not as dangerous to life and
limb ns the Brooklyn trolley , yet we have
very many reports nf accidents to bicyclers.
We have observed that most of them occur
because of the lack of skill on the part ot
the rider upon the vehicle. Many novices are
Impatient of the training which Is required
to obtain a thorough knowledge of the fine
art of wheeling , and perfect command of the
wheel In dllllcult situations. It looks to
them like an easily acquired art when they
see an expert on tho- fly , just as It my seem
easy to run'a train of cars when the engineer
Is seen sitting on his stool , or to ride horse
back when an experienced equestrian sweeps
proudly along. A bicycler ought to know
bis machine as an engineer knows his engineer
or an equestrian bis steed , and this knowl
edge can be obtained only by patient study
of its peculiarities. It Is dangerous to In
dulge In self-confidence before there is Justi
fication for It. The bicycler who has a
trained mind Is all the safer for It. In
turn , the bicycle U a trainer of the mind.
The professors ot the' art say that thoughtful
people have a great advantage over the un-
thoughtful as riders. We should suppose
that to be so , for so It Is In all the affairs
of life.

THE T.RAUVR
Chicago Chronicle ( dem. ) : The league
was WIN In Its own war. The currency
question will not give volera or the United
States any concern a year hence.
Chicago llccord ( Ind. ) : At any rate It It
to be hoped that the delegates had a lot ot
fun. T'hey ' return home knowing they are
republlcani , but watting until next year to
find out what shall bo their views of rllvcr.
Cleveland Plain Uaaler ( dem. ) : The Na
tion Republican league delegates met In
Cleveland , heard the whistle of their mas
ters In Wall street , curled their tails be
tween their hind legs and went home. They
expressed no opinion on nny national Issue ,
not even the money question. What a brave
lot of men , how wlso In council , how cour
ageous In action.
Chicago Inter Ocean ( rep. ) : The Repub
lican league convention has been disappoint
ing only to democrats. It has done nothing
that the democratic papers said It would do ,
but has followed republican counsels and the
precedents of former league conventions , rec
ognizing that It l only an auxiliary organiza
tion , with no power to make party platforms
or name candidates.
Globe-Democrat ( rep. ) : The Republican
National league convention manifested Its
good sense by quietly but firmly declining
to take action on the silver question or any
other troublesome Issue. That Is to say , It
retiif'd to give aid and comfort to the enemy
by violating Its own constitution , which de
clares that It "fhall not In any manner en
deavor to Influence any national , state , county
or municipal convention. "
St. Paul Pioneer Press ( rep. ) : In weakly
yielding to the Impudent bluster of the repre
sentatives of the silver miners and substi
tuting the white Hag of a cowardly truce
for the standard of republican principles ,
which they arc pledged to advance and defend -
fend against all comers , they have given now
courage and energy to the subsidized bat
talions of the silver kings ; they have done
what they could to sow dissension In the
ranks of the republican party and to make
harder the work which lies before It In 1S9G.
New York Tribune ( rep. ) : The Ilcpub-
llcan league was not organized to delight
democrats and has not given them any
pleasure. It has not chosen to fritter away
UD strength In useless wrangling about the
silver question , though great hopes ot a row
In the Cleveland convention had assuaged
the sorrows of the beaten democracy.
Neither has It consented to help free traders
banish from public thought the one question
to which they owe the worst defeat for a
generation. Republican armies are not In
the habit ot spiking their own guns.
Chicago Post ( tnd. rep. ) : The action ot the
committee on resolutions Is proof that In
one party at least the tree silver men will
not bo permitted to erect their banners , even
as a temporary concession. It Is said that a
great majority of the delegates are for Inter
national bimetallism. Well , that will do.
"International bimetallism" Is only an amia
ble other phrase for sound money a harm
less subterfuge bred by the warm weather
and the desire to avoid conflict. So long as
the majority are for International bimetal
lism the country will not be troubled by na
tional silver monometallism.

tana and Trumbo of Utah profess to be very
jubilant over the result of the Cleveland con
vention and speak of it as a great victory
for silver. It Is the same kind of a victory
that a man wins when some one gets a
jivlgment against him In court nnd he suc
ceeds In securing a stay of execution for a
llttlo while. T-liero was not a minute during
that convention when the friends of sound
money could not have passed the strongest
kind of sound money resolutions by a vote
of two to one , or four to one. and when the
free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 by this coun
try alone would not have been voted down
by nearly 10 to 1. And for these friends
of free silver to make the boastful claim they
do now Is to show themselves undeserving
and unappreclatlve of the patience and con
sideration which the overwhelming majority
exercised with recnrd to the feelings and
wishes of a pinnll minority In the Interest of
Uarmony In the party.

WASHINGTON , Juno 21. Consul General

department another report about the commer
cial advantages of the treaty between China
and Japan. Former treaties contained no
favored nation clause , whllo the new treaty
contains concessions1 beneficial to tuiJ. ex
pansive of all Asiatic commerce. The con
cessions to Japan have given to the world
now marts and avenues ot trade. Now
twenty-eight ports are open and countries
which have llio "favored nation clause" In
their treaties have equal privileges with
Japan , Japan was under restrictions as to
Interior trade which have now been re
moved ,
Mr. Jcrnlgan says the most Important pro
vision of the treaty ls that which makcs _
free to carry on manufacturing Industrie ? .
This virtually opens China to now Industries ,

one clause of the treaty. Mr. Jernlgan sayi
that It American capitalists and merchants
propose to make permanent burincs ? Invest
ments In Ciiina thnv should study with great
diligence the wants of the Chinese and not
venture too far without accurately estimat
ing all surroundings : He adds : "It maybe
bo said that China (9 ( the great undeveloped
country of the world and that new develop
ments attended with profit await well di
rected enterprise In this empire. "
Mr. Jernlgan complains that several Amer

ers for their head agents and ho thinks It
would be better to have American enterprises
carried on by Americans.

gress to preserve the world renowned agatlzed
forests ; finding of a remarkable compact

tions.
The rumor that circulated early In this
year of the discovery of brilliant diamonds

proven , on Investigation , to be without founda
tion. Sapphire deposits are reported twenty-

emerald was also found near Bakersvlllc ,
