The republican leaders In congress np-
) par to fully concur with the president
lint It Is a commanding duty to keep
ho appropriations within the receipts
of the government. Speaker Iteed has
expressed himself In favor of such n
course nnd Mr. Dlngley anil Mr. Cannon
nro In ncroni with him. It Is safe to
say , therefore. Unit In the house of rep-
escntntivcs the potent Influence of these
eadcr.s will bo exerted to keep appro-
irlatlons down to the actual require-
nonts of the public service.
The estimates of receipts and espondl-
urcs submitted to'congress by the sec
retary of tliu treasury were somewhat
llscouraglng. They showed a probable
Iclldt for the current fiscal year of ? 2S-
000,000 and for the llscal year ending
Tune SO , IS ! ) ! ) , of $21,000,000. But as
tas boon stated by Mr. Cannon , chair-
nan of the committee on appropriations ,
and by Mr. Ding-Icy , the estimate of ox-
icmllturos for the next llscal year was
tot what the secretary of the treasury
) ollevod they would be , but was made
n pursuance of a provision of law which
for the first time In the blstory of the
country required the secretary of the
treasury to insert In his estimates the
amount estimated by the army engineers
which cair be expended for river and
larhor Improvements for the next fiscal
vear. Thus there Is a very large amount
ncltideil in the estimate for public
works , such as rivers and harbors , pub
ic buildings and coast defenses , which
nay be very materially reduced by con
gress , for as Mr. Dlngley said , neither
.ho secretary of the treasury nor the sec
retary of war believe that the amount
estimated for these public works should
30 expended during' the next fiscal year.
The Increase In apparent expenditures
for the next fiscal year would , If allowed
jy congress , undoubtedly result In as
arge a deficit ns the secretary of the
treasury estimated , but as Mr. Dlngley
said in n speech In the house a few days
ago , "obviously no olllcer of this govern
ment , no responsible minister , no con
gress that properly regards Its responsi
bilities In the matter , would tolerate for
moment an increase of expenditures
In one year , for public works alone ,
amounting to almost § , " 0,000,000. " In
regard to the expenditures for the next
fiscal year to be paid by taxation , Mr.
Dlngley said that Instead of111,000 , -
000 , as in the estimate of the secretary
of the treasury , they ought not to ex
ceed SIISO.OOO.OOO , -ST.OOO.COO1 In excess
of the expenditures for the present fiscal
year. If they shall hot rise above this
amount , then on the estimate of receipts
by the secretary of the treasury there
will be a surplus of about ? 10,000,000.
Mr. Dingley said he took It for granted
that congress will see that there Is rea
sonable economy practiced In regard to
all expenditures and will not Increase
Its appropriations beyond , the amount
that is required by increase of popula
tlon , intimnUng that a. curtailment can
be made In expenditures for rivers and
harbors and coast defenses. "If the ex
penditures shall bo kept down to a. rea
sonable limit , " said Mr. Dlngley , "mak
ing only the same advances that have
been made year by year In the past In
proportion to population , then' the revenue
nuo of the next fiscal year , If estimated
correctly by the secretary of the treas
ury , will pay every expenditure nnd
leave a .surplus of $10,000,000 besides. "
The country expects congress to re
trench wherever tills can bo done with'
out Impairment of the public service.
Kconomy In expenditures Is what the
people demand of the republicans and
the representatives of the party In con
gress cannot afford to disregard the
demand. The attitude of the leaders
gives assurance that they will not do so.
COT'fOX ClltOl'SANl ) MAHKETH.
That the statistics of cotton exports
and prices may be rightly considered
they should bo read. In connection' with
other facts relating to the cotton crop
and the markets. A greatly increased
demand for American cotton for ex
port , accompanied by depression of
prices to the extent of 1 % cents a pound
Indicates unusual conditions in the cot
ton belt , as well as In the markets. A
study of the cotton fleld Is essential to
an understanding of the export move
ment.
The American cotton crop for the year
ended September 1 last was one of the
largest ever grown , amounting to 8,757-
901 bales , valued at ? 327,517ST > 4 , of
which 0OSSrll ! bales , valued at ? 227-
72S-ir > 9 , wore exported. The world's
production of cotton In the same time
amounted , to 10li'l,000 ) bales , and the
consumption n few thousand bales less
so that , In fact , the cotton mills of the
world used during the year all of the
year's crop nnd n. largo portion of the
crop of the year before still remaining
unused. The visible supply now Is
much less than that of n year ago. The
cotton buyers have been fixing the prices
regardless of the wishes of the cotton
growers , but the consumption of cotton
Is Increasing rapidly anil another year
the sellers may be the dictators of
prices.
While the cotton crop of 1800-07 was a
largo one the acreage was not proportionally
tionally Increased In the cotton belt. A
systematic effort has boon made for scv
era I years to secure .reduction of the
acreage of cotton , and this has been par
tially successful , but In thu meantime the
cotton growers have boon learning that
a few acres well tilled arc more ( profit
able than many used In the old way.
They are getting larger crops than when
they had more acres In cotton. The V/
cents a pound knocked off the price ol
cotton does not In fact represent a no1
loss to the cotton ; farmers , for their big
crop of tills year cost them much le.s
than some of the smaller crops of othei
years. They have learned some lessons
that will bo valuable to them In the
future.
The growth of the market In Germany
and .Tapan for American cotton hat > bci-i
hugely duo to the cheapness of the
product tills year , but a market we ]
established in tlie.se countries can IK
held by the American producers. The
sales of Egyptian and 1'eruvlan eotto >
have been Inereasliig In the Unitet
States , but tills foreign cotton does not
In any sojiso cut Into the market for
American cotton. The grades are. on
Uroly different American cotton la cold
[ In every market or the world mnl Its
nunllty Is nniiuestloned. A porlod of Jew
prices but stimulates consumption ,
which will KO on unchecked when tliu ilso _
comes , nml ns the cotton Rfowi'M rtro
lessoning tlio cost of production every
pnr , tlicjvbnvc no cause to complain of
lie outlook for tlielr Industry. To bo
sure they wotiltl be niucli better pleased
with hlslior prices for the etop of this
vpnr , but tlielr lo can only be nt-
rlbutcd to overstipply of the product.
The depression In prices cannot con-
I line.

When Governor llolcomb made bis
selection of the four police commissioners
who under the now charter wore to have
he control of the police department of
Omaha , his appointees , with the excep
tion of that unsavory political roust
about , Lee Hordninn , wore regarded as
fair and respectable. Dr. 1'enbody had
always maintained the reputation of a
gentleman who would scorn to commit
any dishonorable net or be n party to
nny scheme that would Involve the vlo-
atlon of a solemn oath. This estimate
ipplled with equal force to Judge Greg
ory , who enjoyed public esteem nnd con
fidence ns a man of mornl stninlnii nnd
illspasslonate judgment. No sooner had
: heso two men been Installed as police
commissioners than they became crazed
with ambition to become potential fac
tors In politics. To this overweening
ambition they sacrificed not only their
own self-respect , but with a blind dis
regard of public sentiment and In palpa-
> lo violation of their oaths of olllco they
liavo pursued a course that utterly 'de-
u'lvcd them of whatever public confi
dence on respect they" ever had enjoyed.
Before entering upon their duties ns
police commissioners they each sub
scribed to an oath that they faithfully ,
Impartially , honestly nnd to the best of
heir ability would discharge their duties
is members of said board , and hi mak
ing appointments or considering promo
tions or removals would not bo guided
by political motives or influences , but
would consider only the interest of the
city ami the success and effectiveness
of the police and fire department.
How have these sworn obligations
been discharged ? The new board was
pledged to reform and reorganize the
police. This pledge the board has ful
filled with a vengeance. After dilly
dallying , bargaining nnd trading with
Chief SIgwurt , whom they had con
demned ns unlit for thti position which
ho had held , and whose record as a police
olllcer had been notoriously unclean and
disreputable , they selected a man who
had never had u day's experience in the
police service ns chief of police , solely
because of the political influence lie was
presumed to wield. While this figure
head Is on the city pay roll ns chief of
police , the real chieftainship was con
ferred upon Sigwart , under the title of
captaJn. Why was this done ? Simply
because Sigwart had , as chief of police ,
prostituted ills position to promote the
political ends of Ilcrdmnn and the gang
and contributed to feed the political am
bition of Dr. Peabody and Judge Greg
ory , neither of whom have any better
chance of election to any ollice , city or
county , district or state , than they have
to fly to the moon.
Having sacrificed the city's interest to
further their political ends , regardless of
their oaths , It was but one step further
for Dr. Fcabody and Judge Gregory to
completely surrender themselves soul
and body to the keeping of Lee Herd-
man , one of the most unconscionable
political parasites that has ever been
foisted upon tills community.
The police commission of Omaha is a
judicial body when acting as a Hcensin
board , juid each of Its members , if ho
lives up to his olliclal oath , Is obligated
to conscientiously discharge the duty
devolving upon him impartially , hon
estly and to the best of his ability. In-
tstead of acting honestly and Impartially
Judge Gregory and Dr. 1'enbody Joined
Parasite Ilcrdmnn in the most flagrant
violation of their Judicial function by
passing In advance nnd without proof
or testimony of any kind upon the title to
the claim of the newspaper having the
largest circulation. In order to frighten
applicants for liquor licenses to submit
to the levy of blackmail on the part of
their political organ these self-convicted
violators of their olliclal oaths have oven
gone so far as to defy the courts , whose
Intervention' ' had to be Invoked to pre
vent the consummation of a. criminal
conspiracy. They liavo declared in so
many words that for them there is no
lawiand no power to compel respect for
and obedience to the law. Nobody In or
out of Omaha who knows Lee Herdimui
would bo Surprised ntl any lawless- thing
he might do to carry out his purposes or
those of his political allies , but nobody
who had known Judge Gregory nnd Dr.
Peabody before they became members
of the police commission would have be
lieved' them capable of such conscience
less nnd unscrupulous disregard of law
and duty. Whatever may bo thought of
their eccentricities on economic Issues ,
their mental calibre to distinguish the
wrong from the right , the crooked from
the straight , cannot bo called In ques
tion. They know and cannot help"know
ing that n court cannot do justice by
deciding n case before hearing tins testi
mony. They know that they have de
liberately allowed themselves to play a
despicable as well ins a lawless role and
they cannot plead the baby act by pre
tending that they were not nwnro that
they wore Inciting anarchy In passing
the resolutions to Ignorp an order of the
court.
Omaha can thrive only In duo proportion
tion to the degree of prosperity of the
state at largo. The question uppermost
In the minds of our business men is ,
What has the coming year In store for
Omaha ? Given that agriculture and
stock-raising are the mainstays of Ne
braska , the prediction can bo made with
safety that Increased business and In
dustrial activity must certainly follow ,
u natural result of present conditions.
There is more live stock in Nebraska
than ever before In the state's history ,
with an enormous surplus of grain with
which to fatten it for the markets , while

nnt crop In 1SUS. Tills makes certain

Pursuant to the original Idea of the
Nebraska delegation In congress when
ho first appropriation for the fedora )
building was made. Congressman Mercer
s nbout to tiitrndiico n bill providing
neans for Its'-'completion. ' This menu <
ncntal structuresna It stands today , was
) lanned with n view to this contom-
) lated addition and perfect proportions
cannot be attained ) until the west wing
shall bu lidded. When the old postotllce
mlldlng was constructed back In the
70s It was thought by Its projectors
: lmt It would prove adequate to all do-
nnmls for a generation or more , but for
: on years past the business of the gov
ernment has grown to such large propor-
.lons that present ; quarters have been
wholly Inadequate for the proper trans
action of business. With this experi
ence before us there can bo no ques
tion of the , wisdom of making full pro
vision for the future , as air. Mercer Is
attempting to do. That ho will succeed
there Is little doubt.
The police commission has never shown
nny disposition to resist government by
Injunction whenInjuncted and re
strained by Judge Scott , but when Judge
Keysor seeks to prevent their high-
landed usurpaUon and lawlessness It
jrlstlcs up in nil Its majesty and do-
tlarcs Itself to be above the district court
in matters relating to the powers and
duties devolving on the board , Is nn
injunction issued by a court pre
sided over by a fuslonlst judge more
binding than a mandate issued by n
republican Judge ?
The 'resolution ' defying the power of
.ho district court presided over by Judge
Keysor which was adopted by the police
board Is In Uic handwriting of Gilbert
M. Hitchcock. That fact can be verified
readily by inspectinn of the document
on lllo in the olllcc of the secretary of
Lhe flro nnd police commission. If any
thing more wore wanted to prove that
Tudge Gregory , Dr. Pcabody and Lee
tlerdman have joined liv the conspiracy
to levy blackmail upon the liquor dealers
of Omaha that tell-tale document Is the
clincher.

The finding of gold and silver and money
orders to the amount of thousands of dollars
which Mr. Spofford of the National library
had put In an old desk and forgotten , accounts
largely for the recent Inability of that gen
tleman to balance his
accounts. No one ever
dreamed that ho was dlahonest in the affair ,
and though the recent revelation may not
stamp lilm as a thorough-paced business man
according to conventional standards , It Is nol
altogether unpleasant to occasionally flsd a

There Is n. general feeling of rcstlvencss
throughout the country over the lal sez
falro attitude In which Secretary Ga
confronts the deficits which lie calmly an
nounces for the current and ensuing fiscal
years. The present year Is probably too
far spent to permit of such reform In the
economies of government ns to make good
the deficit for the first six months. Dut It
Is uot too Into to do something to reduce
the ostlmiitcd deficit of $23000.000. IJy one
stroke of his pen the postmaster qcnoral
can save the government from JtO.000,000 to
? 15,000,000 . year. The commissioner of
pensions can save other millions by simply
refusing to recognize any more aop'l a'lsns
tor pensions not based on Incontestab'o
rights. One-third of n century after the
close of the war the continued growth ot
the pension roll Is a nationil scandal which
none recognizes and deflates moro than the
oM soldiers.
For the fiscal year 1SD9 Secretary Gasc
lias estimated tlio revenues at $ IF2871G17
and the cxpetdltures at $5WD22.5':3 : leav
ing a deficit of $21G47SS5 for that year. Ho
figures the amount of the deficit down to
the odd dollar , when th ? credit ot the nation
and the future of the republican party de
pend on there being no deficit at all. It Is
Impossible for the secretary to swell the
Government Income without the aid of congress
gross , but It Is possible , aa It Is the duty
of the secretary and his associates , to cut
the expenditures down to the rece'pts , Unless
loss there arc signs of this being done
effectually be'o-o next November nothln ;
can prevent the election of a democratic congress
gross next fall.

'Minneapolis ' Tribune : It seems that the

policy Is duo to the now minister of foreign

peror Is reaping the benefit of the popularity

New York Mall and Express : One of the
prominent writers of Japan declares that the
eager progress of Industrial development and
national ambition In that country has brought
tens of thousands of woiltlngmen Into a con
dition of which "wretchedness , misery ,
squalor , poverty and hunger , premature de
cay , bent and dwarfed forms , pinched cheeks ,
sunken eyes and early death are the re
wards. " It appears from this that Japan Is

heavy Installments. In a word , she Is over-

Kansas City Star : The story may or may
not bo true- that England refutes to Interfere
with Germany's free hand In Chlnx on the
condition that Germany does not coerce Eng
land In Egypt , but It Is a reflection on the
position of England that such a story should
even bo told. Time was when England was
not suspected capable of such trades and
agreements , when It yielded nothing to
threats and did not consider It becoming to
countenance a robbery on the part of another
power ES the prlco of committing one herself.
England In an earlier ago would have asked
neither advice , assistance nor toleration In
holding Egypt. Thcro Is nothing moro remarkable -
markablo In modern history than the self
abandonment of Great Drltnin of the position
of a first-class power.

then excited over the wonderful Klondike
stories of great and suddenly acquired richer.
Now the masses reached by $1 tiiil ? 5 shares

tion of the golden properties lo be developed ,
nnd It was eproid broadcast that "our rcp-
roacntiiMvcs estimate that $20,000,000vlll
be taken out of 'the placers before July 1 ,

statement :
"From a former dhcctor of the company
I have learned that It has decided to retire
from the Klondike Hold because of the great
competition. It started In good faith , 'but
soon a whole raft ot fake companies blcs-
somcd forth and killed the business. I un
derstand that the Yukon-Cnrlboo company
has , or will , return ! to stockholders the
amount of their subscriptions. I do not
think that tbo men at the head ot It would
see nny wrong done to such n largo number
of poor people. "
Killed what business ? That ot "reaching
the masses" with finely engraved Jt shares
of stock ? If the company's alleged posses

nine , how could the blossoming forth of n
lot of "fako" companies affect the enterprise
of developing these mines and bringing out
the ? 20,000,000 in the lliet year of effort ?
Nice business , this , for men like Hutter-
worth to bo lending their names to. The
Now York World , which Is doing a public
service In exposing these Klondike Invest
ment enterprises , says that the Northwest
Mining and Trading company , of which ex-
Governor Campbell of Ohio Is nn advertised
director , has also clcaed Its obscure little
ofllco In New York and disappeared , leaving
behind a lot of poor people Interested very
much In Its whereabouts. The World prints
a list of forty-two of thcso Klondike COIIPCIIIB
which sprung up last summer on the first
news of the gold discoveries , and which
have been trying over slnco to bring their
stock within the reach of the niRsses.
Hut In ono respect this cm-lous nnd dis
graceful episode Is an oft-repeated story.
The ease with which men of political nnd
business reputations can bo Induced to give
the weight of their names to such enter
prises has long been noted nml Is bitterly
remembered by not a few of our people who
have been beguiled into baseless ventures
by the attraction of euch well ktinwn names.
Every man may have his price but the man
who sells himself most cheaply and misera

r\VO-MUN AGAINST WOMEN.
Observation * on tli < > Outcome ot Ilic
Suit I.itlcu JClri-lloii.
New York Tribune.
Tha rece-nt municipal election In Salt Lake
City. In which women voted , disclosed the
1'nct that the women candidates for office
were badly scratched by the women voters ,
who thus showed that they prcfered to have
men hold olllco. Indued , Miss Jcanna
Sprague , the candidate for recorder , was
actually defeated by women , although a local
paper says that "practically every liwyer In
the city supported her , because she had been
a successful deputy in the district court
clerk's office. She. had no criticism to en
counter from any source , and an Informal
canvass of the business district before the
electlca Justified the general belief that she
would run ahead of her ticket. That event
proved teat 'tho ' vote of women could not bo
depended upon for women candidates , "
So also Mrs. La Dartho and Mis. HraOloy
who were nominated for the audltorshlp , al
though competent nnd experienced women ,
were defeated by Mr. Swan , an Independent
candidate , tdiroughthe votes of the women ,
Under -these circumstances , probably , tie party
will nominate women for ofilco hereafter In.
Salt Luke City.
It may be , of course , -that thoio were some
local conditions In Salt Lake City that wcro
responsible for this rather surprising outcome -
como of woman h-uftiuge. Dut It Is a fact
that In other matters women arc not always
ready to stand up for their sex. Women
physicians , for Instance , even when they ure
known to be competent and skillful , are not
employed by many \\oni en , although women
might naturally be supposed to prefer women
us physicians. The tame thing Is In a
iiuiiauro truu of oMur occupations In which
women uro gaining a foothold. It Is not
always from their own sex that they .receive
the gicateut encouragament , while In sonio
catErt they encounter -the more or lc& * active
hostility of women. This U a curious fact ;
for , In the abstract , women always utand up
sturdily for tliolr own sex , and not infre
quently condemn man's Injustice to woman.
It Is one of these Inconsistencies in woman's
nature -that make her ut once charming and
Incomprehensible ,

ClilcaKO Tribune ,
The house committee on pensions has de
cided to recommend an amendment to the
pension appropriation bill jo the effect that
no woman marrying an old soldier after July
1 next shall bo entitled to the customary
widow's pension when ho dies , The commis
sioner of pensions Is In favor of this change
In thu law and ha ! arguments convinced the
committee.
It Is a notorious fact that young women
married decrepit revolutionary soldiers and
soldiers of the war of 1812 , not out of love
or a ulsh to care for a veteran In his last
days , hut In order to get the pension which
widowhood would brlns ? with It. There are
fourteen survivors of iho war ot 1812 on the
pension rolls. Thcro are 3,287 widows of sol
diers who nerved In that war , Most of these
widows married for pensions.
Similar marriages are being made now.
The war ended over thirty years ago , nnd
most of the men who were mustered out at
Its cloEO have reached on age wlicro they
cannot expect women to fall wildly In love
with them. Almost the only attraction they
possess Is that their widows may claim pen
sions.
The act of 1SOO provides that a soldier's
widow who has no other means of support
than her dally labor shall have a pension of
JS per month during widowhood. Thcro are
many women who jump at a chance to marry
a man with ono foot In the grave In order to
get JS a month , and perhaps more , after ho
la dead.
The government tb'tild rot encourage these
matrimonial speculations. It can put a stop
to them easily by providing that no woman
who mairlea an old soldier thirty-two years
after < ho war ended need expect a pension.
When that rule lias been laid down fewer
veterans will bo inveigled. Into marrlo < : o.

H Is related of Daniel Webster that when
ho offered marriage to the maiden who i >
came his first wifeho tied half n knot In a bit
of ribbon that happened to bo convenient
nnd silently lutuled It to the young woman ,
no Ooubt with n look of profound moaning.
With true foinlulno neutcncsa , and It Is usu
ally brought Into full vlay by n affair of

completed the knot demurely and nwitly ud.
) > auded It back to thr- young man with
majestic bow. No doubt he th ti expressed ;

but yet the time comes lo speak except fop
these who arn denied vocal utterance. Kvoti
that class Is nt liberty to write , though It
Is not the courageous course lo pursue under

the wny never married , who penned the
wor.ls , "If thy heart fall thce , do not climb
at all , " nml this doubtless reflects an avcrago
woman's view ot the case.
A ile-.tr mule girl not lens ago sued adrot
inuto innu In ii Now York court for breach
of piotnlso , placing ( ' . .lietlamaROs - at fSO.OOO.
The July's verdict was for $1.760. It U not
the purpose hero to dilate on the peculiarity
of verdicts l trhls of this kind , or whr
juries sometimes award the full amount
claimed , nnd again scale It down to a pitiful
fraction. No ono , no- matter liow deeply
versed In legal lore , can como wtjiln $10,000
of Eiictslng n July's estimate ( if a damaged

tills Instance Is how n deaf mute must
propose In order < o commit lilnucU legally.
Accordingly Uio Jury was Inducted Into the
sign longuaio ; to the necessary extent. iAu
expert , n , life-Ion : ; tuachcr , was called In to
describe a. hard nnd fast prcpoial ot marrinRo

In the lltcMry code , Is to make a. prisoner ot

itho question among the deaf an. ! dumb.
Tlioy rctiulrci all the clciiuuicc of ten fingers

The fair ulMntlft In the suit showed lh (
Jury what happened. She looked at thorn
pleadingly for a moment , pointed to her heart ,
clasped her bauds warmly together and finally
pressed them fervently over the region of the
heart again. The expert raid that In tha

distinctly "I want lo marry you " When the
defendant \vos called on for his version ot a

with duo nervoiiH ngltatlen , moved them In

graceful sweep of thn right baud toward the

several tto-fingcred swirls In HID air , n cross

heart. So It seems that the proposal without
