The outburst of democratic Jingoism
In the liousv ofjLWpV'sentnUvos on Tues
day was expeclwL It va w * ll under ,
stood that when the diplomatic and con *
sulnr appropriation bill 'was taken up
for consideration the democrats vrouhl
move nn amendment Incorporating th < f
senate resolution , recognizing n state of
wnr In Cuba anil according belligerent
rights lo the parties to the war. The
majority \vns therefore fully prepared
for this prearranged play of the mi
nority for political effect and very prop
erly Insisted upon n strict observance
of the rules. This attitude of the re
publicans nssures the country that there
Is no Immediate danger of action by the
house favorable to recognizing the Cu
ban insurgents as belligerents.
The exhibition of democratic Jingoism
will not have the political effect hoped
for by those who made It. It will not
persuade Intelligent people that sym
pathy with the Cuban patriots Is IK--
culiarly a democratic sentiment. He-
publicans as heartily and sincerely sym
pathize with the cause for which the
Insurgents are fighting as do men of
niiy other party. The republican plat
form declares : "Wo watch with deep
and abiding Interest the heroic battle
of the Cuban patriots against cruelty
and oppression and our best hopes go
out for thu full success of their deter
mined contest for liberty. " The senti
ment of the party has not changed slnco
this utterance was made and the hope
of republicans for the triumph of Iho
men who are battling for Cuban inde
pendence Is as strong anil earnest now
ns It was In June , 1SOO. Uut at the
same time the republican party recog
nizes Its re.sjxjnslblllty as the party In
power. It knows Its duty to consider
American interests first and to faithfully -
fully regard International obligations. It
realizes that under existing conditions
the recognition of belligerency would
not lh > to the advantage of American
Interests and could not be of any ma
terial benefit to thu insurgents.
I'rosldt'iit McICinley In his annual
message , speaking of the practical
aspects of a recognition of belligerency ,
clearly pointed out that such recogni
tion would benefit Spall * rather than
the Insurgents. lie said : "While ac
cording the equal belligerent rights de-
lined by public law to each parly In our
ports , disfavors would be Imposed on
both which , while nominally equal ,
would weigh heavily In behalf of Spain
herself. Possessing a navy and con
trolling the ports of Cuba , her mari
time rights could be asserted not only
for the military investment of the island
but uii to > the margin of our own terri
torial waters and a condition of things
would exist for which the Cubans
within their own domain cnuld , not hojie
to create n parallel , while its creation
through aid or sympathy from within
our domain would be even more Impos
sible than now , witli the additional ob
ligations of international neutrality we
would perforce assume. " Tli < > effect of
according belligerent rights would be to
wipe out what trade this country still
has with Cuba. Moreover , the recogni
tion of belligerency is an executive pre
rogative with which congress should not
Interfere.
That there is a most deplorable state
of affairs in Cuba no ono will quejtion
and the action of this government for
the alleviation of the suffering there is
approved by all our people. But this
unfortunate condition does not furnish
justification for action on the part of
this government which only a little more
than a month ago the president de
clared would bo unwise and therefore
inadmissible. It may be true that th- .
autonomy offered by Spain Is a mock
ery and a delusion , but It is the duty of
this government to piace no obstacle In
the way of Spain's effort to put that
policy Into effect. The conservative
judgment of the country will approve
the course of the house republicans in
tills matter.
POSTAL IlKTKEfif.UKJ\ ( .
The postal authorities are endeavoring
to avoid an anticipated deficiency In the
free delivery service during the re
mainder of tlie present fiscal year by
reducing the force of letter carriers in a
number of the larger cities of ( lie coun
try. The anticipated deficiency Is only
about $1.50,000 , so that the total reduc
tion of carrier forces will not be very
great , but wherever such reduction lias
been directed by the department It is
vigorously opposed on the ground that
It will Impair the service. Undoubtedly
this will bo the case In some places If
not In all , but unless congress appro
priates the money required to maintain
*
the free delivery service , which appar
ently It Is not expected to do , the dc >
partmcnt must retrench In the way pro
posed. While retrenchment In public
expenditures Is to be desired.and Is In
deed absolutely necessary under existing
conditions , the postal service and especi
ally the free delivery branch of It Is the
very last place where It should bo ap
plied. It would certainly seem to b
practicable for congress to reduce appro
priations for other purposes lo an extent -
tent to supply the needs of the free iK--
livery service , without any injury lethe
the public business. The public will
not IKMU- patiently any deterioration In
the elllcli'iiey of the mall service , especi
ally when It may bo avoided by the ex
penditure of so small an amount as the
anticipated deficiency.
The liouso committee on Interstate and
foreign commerce has agreed to report
thu nntl-scalping bill and UI.TU arpcaivi
to bu no doubt thut It will pass Hie
house , although It Is said that its full1 In
the senate Is uncertain. If facts and
trustworthy statements showing the
evils of the ticket scalping business hav *
not bwn oxaggerat.'d , tlim will prububly
bo llltU1 dltllculty anil no dulay In enact
ing the proponed legislation , which Is
demanded In the public Interest. The
men who are engaged in the business of
ticket scalping are making < a Uoxpcrate
fight , but they liu c so fur failed to show-
that Iho < vUs > harl'otlri'ngpinHt ; ' thu busi

The farce which has been -enarted l > i
Herdnian , 1'eabody and Gregory , sll
ting as an excise board , will 'soon b
over. A more disgraceful and shame
less travesty on justice was never seoi
since police commissions were createt
for Omaha.
The conspiracy In which these men
have been acting as runners for a ganj ,
of confidence sharps has been success
fill insofar as it lias robbed the appll
cants for license by compelling them to
pay tribute to the combine organ In defiance
fiance of law. The guaranty of a 1 !
cense and protection to all who submit
ted to being robbrd lias , bowovpi
failed to materialize. The foreordaluut
decisions of the outlaw board have beei
delivered according to contract , but th
actual delivery of the promised license
has been blocked by the law and UK ,
victims of the confidence game llm
themselves exposed to all the penalt1 !
of selling liquor without licenses. Thej
are not only exposed to the penalties fo
selling Without lieen o , but also of iK-inj ,
debarred from securing licenses for tilt
present year under the provision of the
law which prohibits ths granting o
licenses to persons who violate tba hn\
within the year preceding application.
For this predicament the blame inns
rest entirely with the police board' con
splrators and their blackmailing allies
They know all the time that no Heensi
could issue until the applicant had fullj
compiled with the law. They know
that their promises to grant license *
promiscuously to everybody on thu don
bio-jointed juggle of combining two pa
pers In one fictitious paiwr mid eettinj ,
up the good faith dodge would not holi
water in thu courts. They knew wel
enough that the promised licenses couh
not ba delivered while an appeal was
pending from their fraudulent decisions
They knew that the credulous dupes
whom they had helped to swindle wouli'
bo compslled finally as a matter of self-
protection to perfect their applications
by advertising In the newspaper of
largest circulation as required by law.
But tluse conscienceless charlatans ,
who care nothing for their oaths of of-
lice , care less for the costly experience
they have Inlllcted upon their victims ,
who for the time being are unfortu
nately subject to their power. It would
liavo been much more respectable and
no more lawless for them to have levied
a forced donation of ! ? 10 upon each ap
plicant for llcenss to replenish the ex
hausted cash box of their ollicial organ.
As a reform police board the Herdman-
Pi-abody-Gregory trio Is certainly a shinIng -
Ing example. Now that the curtain is
about to bu rung down on this act of
tlie police board fare. ; , the clowns who
have donned the judicial erm'.ne may
find time to look at the fruits of their
stupid dirty work from the political
standpoint.
Interest in the exposition is steadily
Increasing everj where. There is now
hardly a tran.smlssissippt state that has
not organized Its Transinississlppi Kx-
posltlon commission and the various
state commissioners are exerting them
selves with commendable zeal to ensure
thi creditable representation of tha rc-
soiircvs and products of their states
among the exhibits. When the final in
ventory Is taken the measure of credit
l > 3longlng to the state commissioners
must not be omitted.
Whenever a republican rushes Into
print to air his grievances through the
local popocratlc organ in nine canes out
of ten he may be put down as a Jobbr ,
renegade or political thlmblerlgger who
has boon weighed by his own party nnd
found wanting. It Is In accord with the
eternal fitness of things for nn ex-conn-
cjlman who tried to lift himself back
Into the council on a hold-up gas fran
chise schme to pose as an opponent of
franchise granting.
Coniindium : If it takes the populist
state ofileluU over one year to discover
that sheriffs and county treasurer : ) are

Davenport Ilppufallean ,
It Is absolutely Impracticable and Im
possible for the Iowa commissioners to
make au exhibit at Omaha that would
at all bo creditable to the state
without nn appropriation from the state
that would bo sufficient to cover the ex-
pcnso of n respectable exhibit , The manu
facturers of the state are not the base ot
wealth of the great stuto ot Iowa. The
farmers are the base of Iowa's wealth , and
the farmers and nctunl owners of the farms
are the men who are to get the greatest
bcnflts from advertising the slate , because
If Iowa's advantages are properly presented
to capitalists outside of the state number
less Industries will spring up hi the next
decade that will bring Iowa to such prom
inence that her people would bo justified In
attempting to make an exhibit at the close
ot this dccado.

Hanco Muiphoy returned from Omaha
'yesterday niomlng , whither , with Governor
1.02. ho went last we < - ' { to meet the ofllclals
of the TransmUsUslrol Exposition , At
Omaha they met three of the South Dakota
commissioners from the Black Hills and to-
gi-ther they were shown about the grounds
and lot Into the plnn.i . of the managers , by
whom they were royally entertained. Haace
says very few as yet bive any Idea of the
extent and magnificence upon which the
plans of the oxpcaltlon are being carried
out. The South Dakota commissioners hnVe
already engaged 2,000 squaTo feet ot floor
room for the state exhibit , which Is very
likely to bo Iccgely Increased. TJO governor
contemplates calling together very soon the
eight commissioners who reside cast of the
Missouri to definitely formulate plans fr the
state exhibit , and It is not unlikely that this
meeting will bo held lit this city the latter
liart of the month. Tlie proximity of South
Dakota to Omaha makes It very deshable
that this state should have n meat excellent
exhibit there , and with 'the ' mineral wealth
of the Black Hills and the agricultural pro
fusion of the eastern part of Uio state to
draw from wo surely do nt lack the ma
terial , la' the absence ot n state apprecia
tion , ihowovcr , most caceful a > nd earnest work
will devolve upon our commissioners If we
are to have nu exhibit worthy of the state.
The Black Hills people are very much in
earnest about this matter atad 11 Is quite
tlmo 'that ' the people In this section were
making the most of the great c portunity
which Is now ours , ot giving t'je resources
o * the state aa adequate and proper showing
at this great exposition.
Ynnkton Press anil Dakotan.
Thn stirring , energetic , public-spirited
people of South Dakota , comprising a very
largo majority of Its population and in
cluding all the wcmen , should remember
that the t-'ate must proviso for an exhibition
at the Omaha Traasralsslssippl Exposition ,
which will open In Juno next and continue
vntll November. It Is now well assured that
this exposition Is to be- second only to the
great Columbia exposition of 1893. It will
be essentially a world's fair , and South.
Dakota .being a next < Jeer neighbor to Ne
braska , cannot afford to slight it , nor can
we delay the work of preparing for a South
Dakota building and an exhibit.
Dcadwood ( S. D. ) IMonecr Times.
The Black Hills must have a mineral
exhibit at Omaha. Wo cannot afford
to have It said that wo are too
poor or that wa have -nothing to exhibit.
Betto r take a smaller space and exhibit only
the richest and rarest specimens. We must
make a showing of some kind.

Douglas ( Wyo. ) News.
Several of the slate papers are oppcslng
an appropriation for exposition purposes
and antagonizing the movement. This should
not be. There Is go'ng to be an exhibit from
Wyoming and the mossbacka may as well
realize It. There Is no use or eer.se In being
clam all the time. An exhibit will not ccat
a great deal as apportioned by the Laramlo
county mass meeting and It will be of great
benefit to the state generally. The outside
world could bo Informed of the rcoaurces of
atate In a way they would be compelled
to admit was. the truth. What Is needed Is
o let the outside world know that Wyoming
Is something more than a cow aad sheep
pasture of gigantic proportions.

her of leading business men , who not only
advocate a creditable and proper state repre

point is well taken. St. Joseph has much
to show to the world , much to tell , much

Is not to be pa ed over lightly. It Is urged
that the people of St. Joseph and of Bu

That this Is a scofllng , cynical and Icono-
claiUo ago haa been d'emcnstratcd too
frequently to require further proof , 'but It
was fondly believed that there was sti'Il
ono spot which preserved some reverence for
cherished traditions , and'that In old Virginia ,
If nowhere else , ono might still find worship
ers at the shrines of the ancient crceJs. Hut
It would seem that the spirit of 'irreverence '
has spread oven to that Gibraltar of tracjl-
tloi. : and that there Is nothing too sacred to
cfloapo tlie desecrating touch of ridicule and
satire. Wo are moved to these reflections
> y the statement In a dispatch from Hlch-
mend that Mr. Owens of Manchester pro
poses to Introduce a bill In the Virginia legis
lature providing that "any Virginia gentle
man of good standing In his city or county
may apply to a Justice of the pe-ico , and ,
after taking the oath of olllco required by
law. and particularly the anti-dueling oath ,
and upon Uio pajjnunt of a feu of $1 , such
Justice bhall Issue a warrant creating such
appMcunt -colonel with full rank for life. "
This shocking piece rf levity was suggested ,
| t is mated , by the fact that the recent In-
creasa In the governor's staff from seven to
eighteen left ungratlfied many hundreds of
aaplrants who had been sighing for a place
In the gubernatorial rutlnuo and for the Im
posing mll.tary title of colonel , NP Institu

triumph of a coarse awd baao heterodoxy aa
this legislative sneer at whiit was once ac
counted thp fJilef glory and err ment of the
eoclal and inlUto'ry fabric of the Old Domin

Hut for the doubt which exists as to tbo
currency and which will.not dlsaroear until
congrcvs relieves the stability and value of
our circulating medium from all dependence
on the cash balance of Jho treasury or tbo
revenues of the government It would bo
hard to set limits to the overllawlng and
prosperous trade before the country.
Increasi-d business In the la&t six monies
of 1S97 has raised the gross earnings of
159C5t miles of our railroads by $58,901,51)1.
As this Is about eight-ninths of our entire
lallroad nystem the Increase on all our lines
Is about $70,000,000. This , however , only
brings receipts Imck to where they stood In
1S93. In 1S9I the loss In reported omilnga
on about this mlloago was $112,425,321. In
1895 , 1S9I5 and 1S97 the total Increase has
been $11.012 ; ! , < ; 15 , or Just the loss In 1S9I.
As In 1S93 there was a loss of | 25lC9.nCO ,
something 1 still left to be made up. Tills
will bo picked up In three or four months
wlt'j the rate at which earn lags ure now
rising , or IS per cent ror the first week In
January. Hy summer the railroads , as to
receipts , ought to be back to the receipt *
per milo of IS92. Their supplies cost them
much less than they did then , but their own
rules are lower , so that dlvldsnds should
move tack to their old figure.
The stock market for two woclta has been
rising on these earnings. It fell at the end
of the wc-ck , so that the week cla = ed as It
began for sixty railroad blmrea , and lost an
avernco of fl a share for trust stocks. This
Is uot exactly a "bull market , " but Iho num
ber of sharps dealt In Is very Kicgc and the
conviction i.i etllt general that the market
Is about to advance. The purchase of
American shares has begun abroad , though
it is still fitful. A part of ( he advance In
New York rosLj on the manipulation of the
N'ow York Elevated and Molrcpolitan , but
a large part arises from the situation which
but Tor the currc-ncy would be nt all points
encouraging. The production and consump
tion of pig iron Is now nt the rate of 12,000-
000 tons annually , or about half the world's
yearly product. New York bank leans gen
erally reach their highest point six weeks
later , at the end of February , bast week
these leans were only $829.400 below the
highest total ever reached. The bank reserve -
serve steadily Increases because pectile nil
ever the country who bought goods In the fall
are now sending money back to pay for them
and leans are high because manufacturing
stocks are being carried fee the spring trade.
Tao solid tasls for business Is shown by the
fact that failures In 1897 were lower In
amount and lesii In number than since 1892 ,
but , as the Financial Chronicle plnts out ,
the failures among small firms grow mortv
numerous. It waa the largo firms which
escaped commercial disaster.
This Is due to the fact that prices were
so low that oaly , firms of large capital and
with a large business could make way. The
small firm on a narrow margin has been
at a disadvantage. ThU condition continues.
Several prices for commodities have moved
downward. Cotton lost a sixteenth of a cent
a pound and a great strike which has begun
In MasMchi.'eatts will depress It still more.
Wool sales are one-half larger than a year
ago , but at no advance , and tbo general raage
of dry goods docs not Improve. The ship
ments of boots and shoes -as given by the
Shoo and Leather Reporter , are a fifth
above the average of the last three years ,
and while prices do not move upward ! n
hided , leathers acd ohoes , they must before
long. The surprising thing about pig Iron
Is that with the ccoductlon one-hair bigger
than a year ago prices do not move. The
equipment of the Now York Elevated with'
rn electrical plant at a coat of $11,080,000 Is
the first sign of a large' new enterprise.
Volume , and not an Increase of price , Is
therefore- still the mark of the rising tide
of current trade. Exports remain on the high
level of December and imports continue to
bo lower than last year. The excess of mer
chandise exports for December over Imports
was last year $58,203,260. Kor last Decem
ber It promises to be still larger , and thla
month , when exports were $12,597,863 In 1897.
will also show larger figures. Gold imports
are amcng the possibilities with their Sieavy
balances. The revenue continues to Increase ,
but 'the advunco Is not sufficient to remove
the risk of a deficit.
