This I did. I wish to call atten tion to the fact that after the enactment of the depcaltory law by the legislature the aupicmo court in an opinion handed down In February , IS ! ) I , held that the provisions of the ilcpcaltorr law Ind no application to educational and trust funds and that It would bo unlawful to deposit these funds In state depositories. Tills position Is absolutely untenable. Tlie supreme court IIIIH never lenduied such : i decision and nothing th.il Las emanated fiom thut tilbnnal In relation to tlie Investment of the school fluids t.iii be construed or torlmod Into loieing tlu treasmer to deposit money belonging to the school turn ! In banks that are not state depositories. Tlio decision of tlio court cited by the goveinor simply held that school moneys are not classed among the funds which under tliu deposi tory law aie reqniied to ba placed on Inteiest in dcpositoiy banks and specially seciuod by deposltoij bonds. I'nder the f.ilse theoiy of Goveinor lloleonib the strongest b.inks in the state would , by becoming state tlepnsitoiles , deb.n tliem- bi'lves fiom leeching deposits ot school funds , vv liilo bauKh too weak to give a tie- posltoiy bond would be In position to go into partneishlp with the state trausnrci in farming out the .sehool funds. It is almost inci edible that a lawyer of tlie leptit.ition of Goveinor Holcomb should for a moment contend that this policy must be puisiied by state tie.is- uieis until tlie constitution shall have been amended. The most chailtable view to take of tlie goveinor's attitude on tiiis matter is that , finding him elf hi a dilemma , he lias accepted Hsu Hoy's veision of the law -which he foimerlj piofessed to combat. Haitley , knowing himself to be a defaultei for sevcinl him- died thousand doll.us. could only tiump up an oNCtise for alleged losses l y banK f.illnies under the ple.i that hevas not allowed undei the depo-jitoiy law to put the school fund into seemed state de positories. That plea , however , should be too lllni'sy to deceive anybody , least of all tin executive who has served on the bench and whose duty It was to e\ert due diligence to pi event tlie dissipation of the tiust funds belonging to tlie chil- dien of the public schools. lLK WKA. Heprescntative Now lands of Nevada ptoposes a pan-American union In tlie intoiest of sliver. Senator William II Chandler has a similar idea. Ho says : "The people of the whole western hem isphere , by Immense niajoiitlos , aie in favor of tlie lemonctl/atlon of silver. They need only to be aioused and or ganised by the powerful influence of the United States. A pan-Ameiiean ie inonetl/atlon congu'ss may be held and a united leipiest of all the governments of North and South Ameiica may be piesented to tlio Iluiop an powei.s. It will be hooded. China and lepresent- atlves of tlie people of India will Join In the le'ipiest. It will be heeded even by Hnghind. " The New llampshlie sen ator Is au iiiopicsMhle bimetalllst and his 7o.il In that cause is lieaity and eainest , but It may be doubted whether his opinion that the people of the whole western hemisphere , by Immense major ities , ate in laver of tlie lemoneti/atlon of sliver , is quite sound. It can con- lldently be said that a majority of the people of the United States do not want It. Tim idea ot an American monetary union , having for Its object tlie uplift ing of silver , is not new. It was ad vanced sevettil yeais ago and Mops weic taken to bring about a monetary confei- once of Ameiican countiles witli a view- to eU'ectlng a union among them. Un doubtedly tlieio aio a umsidoiablo num ber of people who think with Senator Chandler that such a union would have good lesults and especially that It would o.\cit a decided influence In Inducing Kmopean countries to give , more fi loudly consldciatlon to diver. It Is extiemely doubtful whether it would linvo any such effect , but nt all events there aie dllllcultles In the way of such a union .vhli'h . lender thn idea Impiactleable. It Is to bo considered that every one of thu A merit-ail count lies Is a debtor to Km ope. Their go\ eminent seem Hies are held there , as well as the wtoe'.h ' oi their nillioads and other corporations. These aio pajable , pilnclpal and Intoi est , in gold , Tho.se countiles must pay what they owe to Km ope In gold and in ouler to get gold they must sell their pioduefl * to countiles that pay gold for what they buy. This being the case. It Is not npp.uent what benefit any of these countiles could deilve from the icmon- etlzatlon of silver , if that should bo con fined to them , Senator Chandler Insists that the cause of bimetallism is not lost und tlmt the I Milted Stutes must continue to mgif It. This faith in a cause' which has sufTeieil such seveio tie.ttmont recently may bu admbable , nut there appears to bo voiy little to Justify | | . The leading uutloiis of Europe do not want bltuet- nlllsni nntl tliorc li no ronson to believe tlmt they could IH Induced to ml < H > t It If n union of nil American count tire In the Interest of silver should b > effected. Their policy Is to sfietigthen the gold slnndaid ni'd thin they tire steadily do ing.

TJils action , illuming the lepott of It to be ooueet , may have no praetlcal result at pte.sent , but Indicates n tendency which may lead to a piae-i tleal it'snlt In the not iemote future. Theio Is nothing In prospect fax or- able to silver and our government Imv- IIIK done all that It can do to interest Kurope.lin nations In behalf of the white metal may wKoly and propetly diop the matter. That Senator Chandler and other friends of silver will , however , continue to do all they can to keep up agitation Is to be expected. CJiWHAW UKVKSUKS. The revenue1 ; of the government are Increasing and at a more lapld rate than was to have been expected In view of the heavy antlelpatoitv Impoitatloiis. In a speech last week before the Home Mar ket club of Huston , Mr. Dlngley said tlmt some Idea of the extent of the losses of revenuu fiom these Impoitatloim could be had fiom the fact that 170,000,000 pounds of clothing wool , ; tS,000)00 ( ) pounds of cat pet wool , $1(1,000,000 ( In value of foi- olgn woolens , were imported in the .six months prior to the enactment of the new tailff in excess of what w.is 1m- poited In the same period of the pie- vlous year , and all for consumption In the present fiscal year , on which the tie.ismy lost $1 > 7 , < X)0,000 ) of levenno. Hut tor this loss thete would probably have been no deficit under the present tat iff , or at most It would be comparatively In significant. In repaid to the giowth of the revenue , Mr. Dingley pointed out that while foi August the Ibst month under the new tailff the re\enue was only ! ? 10,000,000 , in September It lose to . 2,000,000 , In October to SflM.OOO.OOO and he estimated that the lecelpts for the cm lent month \\ould leach S'JJ,000,000 ( an average in- cie.ise of levemio fiom all soutces of neaily SL',000,000 per month and fiom duties on impoits of 81,000,000 per month , with almost no lovenue thus far from sugar , which by and byill yield over $1,000,000 per month , an increase nhieh , bplorc the Usual year expires , will make the monthly ie\enne leach the ? : il,000I000 leipihed foi cutreiit expenses , lienslons and intciost , and which in the next fiscal jear will create a sin pins. Mr. Dlngley is not in the habit of mak ing extravagant estimates , but on the contiaiy lie is disposed to be conserva tive , so that his forecast in regard to revenue , based upon the steady increase abeady realised , may be accepted with confidence. Nothing could be more 1111- Ulr than the attack that is made on the piesent tariff law Iwcanse it has not yet stopped deficits , when eveiy person at all familiar Avlth the- matter knows tliat this \\as impossible under the circnm stances. It is perfefH" niivlons that had tiie tariff law gone Into effect thiee months eatlier , as the lepnblicaiis in tended It should , the iccelpts of the tre.is ury dining the past six months would have fallen little if any below oxpendi- tuies. But the enemies of pioteetion le fuse to consider the circumstances , \\ith which , however , they me. as famlhai as anybody else. It Is RiilHcient toi iheh pin pose that the law has not stopped deficits , and while they assail for this icasoii they aie. caicfnl not to accotd it nnj ciedit for the good it has done In reviving industiies and giving I.nger employment to labor. In these respects the law has been , amply vindicated , and tnere can be no doubt of its A indication also as a icveiiiie measure , in due time. The task imposed upon Omaha by the piomoteis of the Tiansmlssisbippl Expo sition Is not confined to the laKIng of the. funds necess ny for the embellish ment of exposition giounds and con stiuelion of exposition buildings.

Theie should bo an enlarge ment of our depot facilities , which are now utteily Inadequate to piesent ttalllc , and an improvement in the number and character of our public vehicles. Not only must our hotel keepeis be spurred on to renovating and enlarging their hostelrles , but they .should also be ic qnlis'd to agree upon a schedule of nite.s that will enable the exposition manageis to gn.uantce vlsltois icasonable uites for hotel accommodations.
