Kiw coinage debates tire getting to bet
t bore. Everything that could possibly
> c said ou cither side of the question
tas been said over and over again. No
new light can be thrown on the subject
mil no converts can bo made by thresh
ing over old straw. The llorr-llarvey
debate may Interest the combatants ,
but It will Interest no one else , not oven
Iho door tender , who Is Instructed to
keep the vulgar crowd from Intruding

Out of all the wrangle and Jangle over
the "crime of 1S7.T' and the things that
might have been If silver had not do
dined In price , one- point and one point
only stands undisputed. Every advo-
vocato of unlimited silver coinage at
10 to 1 proclaims his belief in the In
herent power of the government to gl\o
value to anything that boars its stamp
and Is declared a legal tender for the
payment of debt. The logic of this
article of faith Is not merely that 50
cents worth of any metal can.be . con
verted Into coin valued at 100 cents by
the action of the mint , but that any
article or commodity with little or no
value may bo coined or stamped Into
dollars of equal value with gold and
silver dollars. In other words , who
soever believes that a chunk of silver
weighing an ounce and marketable at
( IT cents can bo doubled In value
by act of congress and be kept
at that value for an Indefinite
period must necessarily also believe
that an act of the same congress can
make out of a piece of paper , ono dollar
lar , one hundred dollars or one thou
sand dollars by printing that denomi
nation ou Its face and calling It by that
wine. *
If this Is the true principle of money
and the function of the government Is
to supply money to the peop'o. then
why coin any metal ? AVhy not abolish
gold and silver coin and let the people
have all the paper money they may de
mand ? I'aper money is more con
venient for ordinary use than gold
or silver , and if It burns tip or
s lost the bank note factory at
Washington can replace It at nominal
ost. There is no perceptible difference
u'twoen those who favor debased coin-
i go by Infusing . " 0 cents worth of Hat
ntn a sKver dollar and the outspoken
.rrooiibackor who wants to Infuse JfOO.OO
) f lint into a ? 100 bill. Of the two , the
rroonbuckoi" Is the more consistent and
ogleal.

If any considerable number of repub
leans in Omaha are dissatisfied wltl :
he misrule of the oathhound star-
hamber faction , why don't they come
> ver to the democratic party , which has
lever espoused the cause of sectarlai
inscription ? If any considerable nuin
lor of republicans want to purify local
government and knock out boodlerisn :
md reckless extravagance , why don't
hey wait until the democrats have made
heir nominations and then turn hi and
lelp to elect their ticket ? These ques-
.ions , with many variations , have been
the text of appeals against the citizens'
oform movement by the organ that has
alsen the contract to keep the democrats
if this county in the middle of the road
luring the coming campaign , so as to
nako sure that its howling dervish
friends shall be continued on the county
md city pay rolls.
It does not take a very profound
lollticlan to understand why repub-
Iciins who favor municipal reform and
leslre lo put an end to star-chamber
plots In the city hall and court house
will not go over to the democratic party.
A very good reason why they will not
do so is because they 'are republicans
and Intend to remain loyal to repub
lican principles In all contests that In
volve party Issues. The issues to bo
fought out In the impending campaign in
Douglas county do not turn on the
tariff , the currency or any other ques
tion of national policy. They are wholly
local In nature and concern the voters
exclusively as citizens and taxpayers.
Another very good reason why repub
licans who have enlisted in the citizens'
reform movement do not propose to wait
until the democrats have made their
nominations and then support the demo
cratic county and city tickets is because
they have no more confidence in the
democratic machine than they have In
the republican machine. Experience In
Omaha , as In all other large cities , has
taught the costly lesson that no sub
stantial reform In local government cat )
be had so long as Iho ward heeler , who
packs primaries , and the ward boss , who
manipulates conventions , are In position
to pledge candidates to reward their
supporters with public ofllees. It Is this
pernicious system that Is chlolly re
sponsible for the multiplication of need
less olllces , the payment of extravagant
salaries , corrupt combinations between
ollic-ers and contractors and a general
disregard of business methods.
The Citizens Heform league has been
organized to bring about a radical and
| lasting reform in the municipal service.
* i In joining this movement republicans do
i not cease to bo republicans , nor will
" ' democrats or populists lose tlielr party
identity by acting In concert with them ,
It Is the only rational platform on whlcli
men of all parties can plant themselves.

Attorney General Harmon Is understood -
-stood not to entertain quite as friendly
feeling for the trusts and monopolistic
comhluatlnns us his predecessor Is be-
llevod to have' . IJe has heen connected
j In a. professional way with sreat cor-
i piiriUlons , as .Mr. tlney has , but Ihero IP
j reason to think that when he came Into
) public life he was less under their In-
lluenco than was thu Massachusetts
l
_ lawyer when he was called Into the
cabinet of 1'resideiit Cleveland. True ,
there have boon no very dellnlte ex-
? presslons from Attorney General liar-
j mon rcKardiiiK trusts , but what he hat
r-1 said left the Impression that he does
I not regard them with favor and that lu
j would not hesitate to take advantaKt
of a jjood opportunity to test Iho law :
against such combinations.
It would seem that Mr. Harmon ha is :
an excellent chance for showing tin
country just whore he stands In thli
matter lu the cases of the Whisky
trust , the Cordage trust , nnd the re
cently organized Glass trust , to say
nothing of any others. It Is said In
reference to the decree of sale granted
tu the Whisky trust by the federal
courts that the property In Interest lies
In six dllTcrcnt states , which brings the
fact of the trust's existence within the
scope of the anti-trust law. It Is also
observed that the formal recognition of
the trust by the federal court clearly
establishes the theory that such a trust
exists and could with propriety bo cited
as corroborative evidence of such a
claim. With regard to the other com
binations referred to the department of
Justice would undoubtedly llnd them to
bo equally assailable , and were the de
sire very earnest to enforce the
law It would not bo necessary to stop at
these. Proceedings against the combina
tion named would , however , bo sulllclent
as evidence that there Is .a genuine anti
trust sentiment In this administration ,
and would go far to vindicate the as
surance by Mr. Cleveland of the employ
ment of all the authority given to the
executive department for relieving the
people from the Interference and exac
tions of the "immense aggregations of
kindred enterprises and combinations of
business Interests" which the president
has so repeatedly denounced.
Of course Attorney General Harmon
knows of the existence of the anti-trust
laws , and It Is to be presumed that he
has given them some attention. The
people would like to know what lie
thinks of them ; whether lie regards
them as of any real value , or worthless.
A part of the legislation against trusts
and combinations Is embraced in the
democratic tariff act. and was put there
for a specitlc purpose. Does the attor
ney general think that while all the
other provisions of that act are being
enforced that this one against the trusts
may properly be ignored , as thus far It
lias been ? Manifestly there is a chance
for Judge Harmon In this matter whlcli
'he ought to improve , if lie is not friendly
to the already powerful and steadily
growing monopolistic combinations.

The last congress made an approprla
tlun of ? .V-8 : { , < .K)0 ) for the payment of
bounties to beet and cane sugar
growers. The appropriation became
available at the beginning of the cur
rent fiscal year , .Inly 1 , but It now
seems that payment may be Indefinite ! }
delayed , owing to the extraordinary
position taken regarding the matter by
the comptroller of the treasury. The
appropriation is in two parts. There
Is an Item of 9'2S,000 : ! to pay claims of
the beet sugar men , the beet sugar crop
having been completed prior to the re
peal of the bounty law. ' The claim of
Iho beet sugar people was allowed by
the auditor of the treasury and sent to
the comptroller for tlnal action , where
upon that otliclal Informed the claim
ants that entertained doubts as to
the constitutionality of the bounty act ,
and before acting on the claim ex
pressed a desire to hear argument ou the
validity of the law under whlcli bounty
had been paid for three years. Accord
Ingly ho appointed Wednesday of this
week for hearing argument by tlu
counsel of Oxnnrd & Co. , who have a
claim for nearly ? 1U,000. This extra
ordinary action of the comptroller of
the treasury caused , It seem- ! , great
surprise , and Its announcement was at
llrst discredited. Such a proceeding 01 :
the part of a purely ministerial olllcer ,
whoso plain duty is to carry out the
law , regardless of what he may thinl
of Its constitutionality , was naturally
somewhat startling. It is unprecedented
dented , and as the Washington corre
spondent of the I'hlladolphla Ledger
says , If that otllcial is eorrest in the
course lie has taken he Is superior tc
the supreme court and more powerfn
than congress and the president com
blued , because there Is no appeal fron
the decision of the comptroller , and by
the Ipso dixit of that olllclal any act
of congress carrying an appropriation
which in Ids judgment is Invalid maybe
bo brushed aside. It appears that the
comptroller does not deny that under
the appropriation act the claimants are
entitled to the money stated to bo due
them , but liases his denial of payment
on the doubt lodged In his mind touch
ing the constitutionality of tie | act of
IK'.K ) , and to resolve that doubt ho pro
poses to hear argument by counsel , thus
arrogating authority to pass upon the
validity of an act of congress which
belongs exclusively to the courts. It is
said that this surpising attitude of the
comptroller is the more Inexplicable in
view of the fact that during the year
ending Juno I0 ! , 1S)1 ! ) , more than ? ! ' _ ' , -
000.000 was paid on account of sugar
bounty , and this sameotliclal passed
alllrmatlvely upon every one of the nc-
counts and allowed that sum of money
to be paid from the treasury without a
suspicion or a doubt as to the validity
of the bounty law.
It is hardly to be supposed that the
position of this olliclal In this matter
has the approval of the secretary of
the treasury or of the president , because -
cause they could not fail to see that
to permit a precedent of this kind to
be established would place It in the
power of a comptroller of the treasury
to do no cud of mischief. Mr. llawler ,
which Is the name of the presumptuous
olllclal , oiitfht to be made an examine
of by way of Impressing the fact that a
treasury comptroller has nothing to do
with determining the constitutionality
of any law under which he may be re
quired to act.
The railroads of Nebraska arc the
chief bonellciarles of a bountiful grain
crop , as they are also among
the heaviest losers * from crop fail
ure. Just now their olllelals are
making a critical survey of the crop
situation. They llnd that covering vast
areas the yield of small grain is much
greater than the highest early estimates ,
that early corn Is secure , while late corn
is In prime condition. They also
report the grass to bo In excellent
condition for an enormous hay crop and
the grazing lauds Invite the cattle on u
thousand hil's. It Is the universal be
lief ( hat the crop conditions of Nebraska
could not be improved upon nt this
time. Already reports are coming In of

A. P. Alsm Is particularly strong In Omaha ,
and the coming ciy : election is apparently to
be n battle between the antl-Komanlsts on
one side and a citizens' organisation on tlie
other. The Omaliii Bee Is championing the
cause of religious toleration , and meeting
with the usual charges of being in the pay
of the pope , which are preferred by a class
against all papers venturing to discourage tlie
revival of old race and religious hates. One
of the A. r. A. leaders comes at The llec
with a few direct questions which have
brought out answers of some general Inter
est. Ono question Is : "Is it best for nil
concerned that ths best ollices should bp
filled by Catholics ? " To tills The Hee responds
spends by asking what ground there is for
believing that the citizens' movement pro
poses to fill the olllres with the foreign-born
and Catholics. U then turns on the so-called
patriotic order by charging It with having
sold out and defeated an American-born Pro
testant candidate for mayor and brought about
the election Instead of an Irish Hainan Cath
olic. It Is further pointed out the A. P. A.'s
put at the head of their city ticket In 1891
anil again In 1S9J a Canadian-barn alien , who
did not become a citizen of the United States
until after his election. The present city
treasurer , ono of the chosen of the antl-
Homanlst order , la a citizen of foreign birth.
So Is the- comptroller and his deputy , promi
nent members of the order. "Are foreign-
born men born over again as soon as they
have taken the oath to proscribe American
citizens of foreign birth ? " asks The Hee.
Another charge made by the "patriots" Is
that "nearly all the saloon keepers are Cath
olics , and that with Homanlsts In olllce they
will not bo disturbed
In their wicked pur
suit. " \Ve must confess to some surprise
in finding The Hee able to deny the truth
of the first part of this charge. It says the
contrary Is the case. The local distillery nnd
three of the four breweries are owned and
operated by Protestants. "The same proper
tion will hold good as to the saloons. " And
among the most liberal patrons of the saloons
are leading A. P. A.'s ; we arc told. The Hee
continues : "Wo ate told that with Homan
lsts In olllco the saloohs will not bo disturbed
In their wicked pursuit. This Is refreshing
Indeed. Who Is lit-olltce now ? Certainly not
the Homan Catholics. And the saloon keep
ers continue undisturbed In their wicked pur
suit. " It seems that f ha A. P. A.'s captured
the city at the Iasttlt5ctlon. _
The claim Is mgije by leaders of the citi
zens' movement thai Vthe bugbear of Homan-
Ism U being used ? usa ; mask for organized
conspiracy agalns .good government , " and
the demand of th5 'hur Is the clearing out
of public office thrf , sectarian agitators who
arc charged with Jia.vjng demoralized the pub
lic schools and pdljcfc nnd flro departments
with their race and'rfllglous contentions. It
Is the same there,1s , Kere. Good men , honest
"
In their prejudlcp "RO doubt form the rank
and file of the , 'jiatilotlc orders. Hut the
leaders In too many cases are designing men
who are using the prejudices of others tc
boost themselves into office.

Chicago News : Since the defeat of the
Rpgllsh liberals wns Inevitable It Is , per
haps , just as well that John Morley should
have gone down with them. The riotous
scenes In Newcastle , however , are compre
hensible. Mortey has deep sympathy with
the working class. He has done much to
ameliorate Its condition , both materially
and spiritually. He was Instrumental In es
tablishing libraries for the poor In many
parts of Great Britain. He made the best
nnd highest In the world of letters accessible
to the laborer's family. He spent not a lit
tle of his precious time In delivering lec
tures iiiion books and their us.cs before as
semblages of tollers. Literary men havp
begrudged the attention Mr. Morley has of re
cent years given to politics. The author of
"Englishmen of Letters , " they claim belongs
to them , and not to a noisy crowd called
Parliament. Tlie latter's loss will be a lit
erary gain.

Nebraska City Press : When an employe |
Rets to know more thin his bos * he usually
Rets It In the neck. Ilils Is no doubt the
icst reason why Summers was llred.
Mlnden Courier : Mr. Summers has been
Icputy In lite attorney general's olllce for
bout five years , mid IK efficient und capihU' ,
nit was not acceptabto to the thieving pnl-
entlary pant ; nnd has been removed for a
lore pliant tool.
Syracuse Herald : Churchill , the man who
ivas elected attorney general of t'.ils state ,
'ound that his deputy , Mr. Summers , was an
lionest republican. He Ihpreupan discharged
lilin to maku rosin for nnothcr fake. Mr.
Summers was the only redeeming quality
"hat the republican party of this state pos-
cssed , nnd now he Is decapitated.
Wflhoo Wasp : Tiie dlsmlss.il ofV. . S. Sum
mers from the position of assistant attorney
; eneral Is regri'ttitl by his many friends
hroughout the state. The reason filven by
.ho attorney general In making it chatiKo at
his time Is not very satisfactory to Mr. Stun
ners' friends. Governor Holcomb's letter to
ir. Summers certainly does not look as If he
lighted any of his duties as the. assistant
ittorney general.
St. Paul llepubllcan : W. S. Summers , the
jrnt'.cman who canio so near being nom-
nntcd for attorney general last year nnd who
ivas chosen deputy by his successful rival ,
lias been removed on rather \aRiio and In
definite charges. Mr. Summers Is very pop
ular throughout the stato. and unlfss his
chief had better and more explicit reasons
Tor removing him tlian have yet been given
lie may nnd his action rather dlfllcnlt to
explain when he comes up for rcnomlnatlon
next summer.
Kearney Democrat : The secret of Deputy
Attorney General Summers' removal by At
torney General Churclil 1 Is that when word
ivas received at Lincoln tli.H Uie'Harrott Scott
murderers , whom Churchill had boasted IIP
would liang. were acquitted , a state
olllclal remarked to Mr. Summers :
'Churchill didn't hang those fellows , "
and Summers replied : "Of course not ;
ho couldn't hang the Jury. " Churchill heard
of It when 5ie returned home and Summers1
ivas dismissed.
Illair Pilot : On Thursday Attorney General
Churchill summarily bounced . S. Summers ,
the assistant In his olllco for many years.
Mr. Summers was a candidate for the place
and came near beating Churchill for the
nomination. He Is an excellent attorney , and
has renl'.y been the lawyer of the olllce the
past two terms. There Is general Indignation
with bench and bar at Churchill's action , nnd
the result will no doubt be to make Sum
mers a. successful candidate next year.
Churchill could not have done so much any
other way , In addition to the lame record
ho Is making , to Insure that result.
Kearney Hub : The removal by Attorney
General Churchill of his deputy , Hon. W. S.
Summers , has raised a tempest In the po
litical teapot , nnd It is worthy of note
that the attorney general Is being given the
roast by newspapers of all parties. The pre
text for the removal Is entirely too gauzy.
The attorney general was being overshad
owed In his own nlllce , on every test of
ability and popularity. Tiie attorney gen
eral simply wanted a dangerous rival out
of his way. And In getting him out he has
insured the nomination of Mr. Summers for
attorney general next year If ho should care
for the nomination.
Schuyler Quill : Attorney General Churchill
has dismissed his deputy , W. S. Summers ,
and apparently for no reason. A lawyer
named Day of Omaha Is the successor. Sum
mers was deputy under Attorney General
Hastings , and was an aspirant for the nom
ination In the republican state convention
last fa'l. He was nominated by rights , but
a Juggling with the figures cheated Jilm out
of the nomination and selected this man
Churchill , who was a fourth-rato lawyer of
the A. P. A. brand nnd barking. Churchill
was forced to name Summers as his deputy
nnd ever feared him , nnd ,10 doubt through
Jealousy and spite has dismissed him. Sum-
inprs should be the nominee In 1890 , and
anyway should not bo the deputy for a man
whom ho towers head und shoulders above
In legal ability and manhood.
Libarty Journal : Attorney General Churchill
gave Dfputy Attorney General W. S. Sum
mers notice the tlrst of the week that his
services ware no longer needed , and nt once
dismissed him. Mr. Churchill gave no rea-
50n for his rasli action , but It has been
state < l that he did fco on account of a belief
he had that Summers was favcrlng some of
Churchill's political enemies. It was a mean
trick. Summers should today bo occupying
the position held by Mr. Churchill. He was
fairly nominated In the convention nt Omaha ,
but through a turmoil raised by some of
Churc'iilll'H friends n second ballot was called
for , and as Mr. Summers desired to satisfy
all the convention that he would play fair ,
consented to a new ballot , which resulted In
then omlnatlon of Churchill. The action Just
taken by the attorney general will be re
sented by the many friends of Mr. Sum
mers.
I'latte Countv Argus : Attorney General
Churchill has dismissed Ills deputy. Mr.V. .
S. Summers. It was alleged that Mr. Sum
mers was Inattentive to business. This Is
the flimsiest excuse that could have bror ,
hatched up. The truth of the matter is that
Mr. Summers has represented all the ability
of the attorney general's olllco for several
years. There was a disposition on Che part
of all Informed men who had business with
the attorney general's department to Ignore
( lie figure * hen. ! olid Insist on being walled
up .11 . by n man of ability , nnd there was
only otic way left for Mr. Churchill to Kct

The shades of night were falling fast ,
As through the crowded stteuts theio passcA
A creature not to be described ,
Who bore aloft a shield Inscribed
The New Woman.
Her trousers were n little wide.
And just a trllle short beside ,
As forward on her wheel she dashed ,
While on the startled vision lias-lied
The New Woman.
Her brow with evening dew was drcm bed ,
Yet tight the handle bar she clenched ,
And never dropped the banner bold
Which showed alike to young and old ,
The New Woman.
"O , stay ! " the young man said , "and rest
Your weary head upon my breast ;
You surely further cannot BO ! "
A voice rtiplleil. "You do not know
The New Woman. "
"Avoid this path , " the old man called.
"Its dangers have strong men appalled. "
Again u proud cry floated back ,
"You can't keep In the beaten track

"Come what come may , this vote Jball wlu

And many sighed , "whero are we ct ? '

To follow where before did tly

All night bo rode through darkness mft ,
And ever anxious glances cast ,
liut speed of Ills could not avail
To catch upon her dizzy tiail ,
The New Woman.
And when at last the morning IT'I.e.
In bitterness these words he spoke :
" 'Tis plain I'm distanced , and the race
Is hers by rl--ht ( of inpld pace ,
