WEDNESDAY, JULY 5th, 1893. 1L is Ikdia is proving a commercial foe of tbe United States this vear. Following the stoppage of silver coinage comes the news that she has an enormous surplus of wheat. The "petty flings" of The Tribune at Commissioners Diehl and Hill were warranted. By their actions tha county treasury was knocked out of over a thousand dollars. Any honest man would enter a protest against such pro ceedings. Dowk at Lincoln the other day a nan toted around six thousand dollars because he distrusted the bank. During the night he visi 'teda negro dive and when .he Emerged therefrom his money was BMaing. "A fool and his money . is -soon parted. The. first words of Fielden, one of the'released anarchists, after his reunion with his family, were: "I propose hereafter to live for my family and keep my mouth shut. To carry out the latter part of the sentence will prove difficult for Fielden, but it he succeeds the country should feel a little grateful. Iowa republicans have proposed to name Miss Alice L. Heald as their candidate for state superintend dent of public instruction. Miss Heald is a scholarly, brainy woman and would undoubtedly fill the position as competently as any man. Women desire to extend their sphere of usefulness, and why not give them the opportunities? Some nice local showers this week, but not enough, Jay Sterl ing, unless you want the crop of populists in Lincoln county this fall unusually large. Era. Right you are. The only thing that can save the independent party's bacon is a nearly total failure of crops.' It "was such a condition, of affairs that called the party into existence three .seasons ago. Petitions from twenty-seven western counties in Kansas have been sent to Govemor Lewelling asking that he call a special session of the legislature to appropriate funds for the relief of the farmers of those counties whose crops have proved a failure. The governor believes that sufficient aid can be obtained from citizens without going to the expense of calling a special session. Another appeal for aid has been sent to the United States by the Parnellites, but it is not believed it will-receive heartv response. There is a growing feeling in this country, . w a- a says the Uraaba ree, that tbe ex tremists in the Irish party are exert ing more influence against home rule than for it. Conservative Irish-Americans have come to see that Gladstone's policy is the surest even it it tails to concede every thing demanded by the radical home rule party of Jreland. - Pbesidext Cleveland has yielded to the urgency of the financial sit uation and to the pressure of pub lic-opinion and has issued a call for a special session of congress to meet August 7th. It is likely quite number of proposition looking to the alleviation of the money market will be submitted, and the contests over the same will be prolonged. There seems to be a general opinion that the siver purchase law will be conditionally repealed. With billions of dollars on de posits in the banks of the country, two billions of which are in savings banks, there seems no reasonable chance for a general panic. There is undoubtedly sufficient money in the country for all legitimate busi ness purposes, but a lack of confi dence in the future acts of the party in power has resulted in the con traction of loans and the hoarding of money. In the North Platte banks the deposits are as large as ever, but loans have been curtailed, and the cash in the vaults is twice as great as is usually held. The holding of money by the local banks is due to results in the east aud not to the condition of local business. Even from Mexico, which re-' mains the only silver country in the world, comes a pretty clear con ception of some of the causes that have led to the -present financial condition in the United States. The Mexican financer does not attribute the money failures that have taken 'place here within the past few weeks to a "tight money market." That this is not the cause is made evident, it says, by the fact that during the past few months the currency has been increased by the issue of $15,000,000 in treasury notes which have been paid out in the purchase of silver bullion by the government under the Sherman silver act .The gold which has been going to Europe has been taken from the vaults of the national treasury and not from the banks or .pockets of the people. The real reason for the -stringency it finds "is the lessened confidence of the ' banks and the money lenders in tfeeafeiliiy of the borrowers to re pay the loans demanded. And be hind this distrustful sentiment of the holders of money lies the fear that the country k coming to a sil ver basis and will soon be in the same plight as are India and this country. Credit has been with drawn because lenders do not care to ran the risk of being paid in a U5-ceBt dollar. No man wishes to lend gold dollars today and a month hence to be paid in silver dollars. Thatie the 'rub1 in the United State." Bee. Misleading Statiitio. , The most deceptive and mis leading statistical exhibit that is given to the public periodically is the compilation of Nebraska farm mortgage records as reported to the commissioner of labor. The latest of these reports, which has just been made public, is in no respect less misleading than those that have preceded it. The commis sioner places the aggregate amount of farm mortgages recorded in the twelve months ending May 31, 1893, at $25,216,787. For the. same period the mortgages released ag gregate $19,435,038. On the face of these returns the farm indebted ness of the state has been increased during the year by $5,780,849. As a matter of fact, the farm mortgage debt of Nebraska has been reduced by fully $10,000,000 during the past year and, possibly, by a considerably larger amount The figures furnished to the labor commissioner by the county clerks under the law of 1891 simply show the aggregate amounts of mort gages filed and released. The bulk of the mortgages filed last year are not new mortgages, but renewals of old mortgages. It is safe to say that of the $25,000,000 of mort gages filed, not more than $8,000. 000 were for new debt. On the other hand the bulk of the mort gages released represent debts paid off. Only comparatively few of the releases were made for the purpose of renewal or extension. Another thing that is entirely omitted from the reports of the county clerks to the labor commissioner are the'par tial payments of mortgage notes. These payments are indorsed on each note, but are not reported un til the last payment is made and the mortgage is canceled. The amount of debt wiped out by the farmers of Nebraska from year to year with out reporting to the county clerks cannot be definitely ascertained, but it must run into the millions. In fact, the bulk of the debt-paying by farmers is done gradually until the mortgage is lifted and the official returns of mortgages filed and cancelled are therefore worth less for the purpose of ascertaining the increase or decrease of the mortgage farm debt. Bee. More Truthful than Poetic The Daily Drift of the State Journal says: It is estimated that $65,000,000,000 would cover the entire wealth of this country. It is also tearfully stated on fairly good authority that 25,000 men out of a population of 62,372401, own and control than half the available assets of the country and are ab sorbing the balance as fast as they know how. Here is another fact, worth stopping to consider: Every year the American people squander in strong drink si,uuu,uuu,uw, or one-sixty-fifth of the aggregate wealth of the country a sum larger than that fooled away for tobacco, . bread, snoes and several other ne cessities combined. The person who lives to be sixty-five years of age. will have seen, if he has kept His eyes peeled, every dollar of nations wealth filtered through the coffers of the retailer in spirituous liquors And in the face of this appalling fact, the red nosed anarchist wil stand up to the bar, spend $6.80 for dnnk and then, grumble because the grocery dealer asks a profit of twenty cents on the sack of flour he subsequently purchases on time after spending so much for coffin varpish that he might have strength of breath to curse the government for the down-trodden condition of those who labor by the sweat of their Tirow. There is just reason for fearing that so long as our peo ple spend a billion dollars every vear for harmful beverages, when water is so cheap, universal pros penty will continue to be some thing of an irridescent dream attainable, but not attained. Mr. Henderson's proposition that the government should immediately sell $300,000,000 gold bonds aud put them in the treasury paying three per cent interest, after clear ing out the one hundred and forty or fifty millions ounces of silver bullion by selling them for gold, is a utile to steep, mat would give us a bigger surplus than we had at the time the democratic party went to war against us on tbe surplus issue. He should draw it a trifle milder. Journal. The condition of the American National bank of Omaha, which closed its doors a few days ago, is such as to warrant a statement by the bank examiner that depositors and creditors will be paid in full, and there is even a strong proba bility of the bank being reopened. Two Indian pupils at the Genoa training school were united in mar- nage tbe otner day with imposing ceremonies. Their Anglicized names were Charles Kealear, a Sioux, and Minnie O'Neil, a Shoshone. It was the first wedding at the school. Altgeld's argument in favor of the Chicago anarchists plainly shows that the only mistake of the court was in not hanging those who were sent to the penitentiary. The Ohio prohibitionists will have to pay their own expenses this year, as the democrats can't be expected to give them a cent in view of the certainty of McKinley's re-election. Comptroller Eckels1 idea that the shareholders of broken national banks should make good the losses is logical and practical, and the country will uphold him in enforc ing it without favor or condition. If Boies can't carry his state for governor he can't do it for senator and his refusal to accept the nomi nation for governor again shows that he thinks the republicans will elect that official this year. Money will be comparatively cheap soon. The calling of the extra session and the distribution in trade channels of the money paid out by the railroads on July 1, as dividends will bring rates down. A mass meeting of two thousand people at Duluth gave Monsigncur Satolli a unanimous invitation to leave the JJnited States. November in Ohio, Iowa, Massa chusetts and Virginia. The con tests urOhio and Iowa will be the most interesting of them all. The chances for republican success seem, at this distance in time from the election, highly favorable to the re publicans in both states. As it is understood that Gov. Russell will not accept a nomination this year, the republicans have a fair prospect of success in Massahusetts also. He is the strongest man in the demo crat ranks in that state. In Vir ginia the democrats will gain an easy victory. The factional war fare of the republican leaders in that state has made it impossible for the republican party, even with the aid of the populists, to win any victories. Globe-Democrat. A good many of the independent papers in the state, the editors of which do not know the difference between a writ of habeas corpus and supoena, are verv severe in their criticisms of the decision of the supreme court in the impeachment cases. They charge Justices Norval and Post with being political par tisans, and therefore cannot be honest in their decision. But Chief Justice Maxwell is all right in their eyes, because he saw proper to dif fer with a majority of the court. There is nothing partisan about a populist, if we are to "believe them. Nobody can be honest and render an honest decision, and express an honest opinion, on any subject but a populist. These self-righteous cranks are the most "partisan" peo- Ele on earth, and in their eyes every ody else are boodlers, thieves and robbers. Seward Blade. , Buffalo Bill for governor of Ne braska is the latest thing in politics. It is being talked in all seriousness. Western people are fond of the sensational in politics as in all things else, and stranger things have happened than that the world renowned hero of the wild west combination should yet be governor of the state, over whose broad prair ies he has wandered almost alone, when the buffalo were it sole occu pants in large portions of its domain. That such an honor would be agree able to him after having won fame and fortune in his unique role is unquestionable. If he should enter the lists in a contest for the repub lican nomination there is no doubt but what he would present a most formidable following. Kearney Journal. The simple truth of the business is that Great Britain has taken one more step, and a verv important one, toward carrying out its settled policy of forcing the world to a gold standard. Early in the cent ury, as soon, in fact, as its commer cial supremacy, had given it finan cial supremacy, and it became the great creditor nation of the globe. England set about securing the gold standard. It has brought the en tire German-speaking world into line, and for twenty years has been trying to bring the United States down to it. Unless some great na tion stands like a- rock against monometallism England will tri umph and gold will be the univer sal standard of monetary measure ment, and silver will be relegated to the category of base metals and a mere commodity. Inter Ocean. The lack of confidence in the present administration to handle the country in its present financial crisis, is doiug more to lock the vaults of money owners than all other agencies combined. With confidence restored, there is no reason why there should not be as much money in circulation as there was six months ago. The agitation of free silver coinage, the govern ment issue of irredeemable currency, anu similar tneones, in opposition to the theory of the administration, together with a divided congress on those questions, present a state of unrest that daily imperils the pros perity of every business in the land.

They argue with a good deal of force that they are paid altogether too little now, and ought to nave the benefit of a gen eral increase. When they finally perfect their union and make a square toed demand for an advance of 25 per cent over the old wages we shall see a decided commotion among the pops of Kansas and Ne braska. We are afraid that the sympathy of the farmers for the down trodden laboring mau will ooze away when this. new issue is introduced m rural politics. State Journal. A St. Louis man recently died and left a daughter $1,500 iu the bank. Wen the financial scare commenced she withdrew it from the bank and put it in an old stove for safe keeping. A vounger sister started a fire in the stove and the little fortune went up in smoke. Confidence in banks would have been worth about fifteen hundred dollars in this case, and will pay in nearly all cases. Silver miners of Colorado have concluded to close down until the clouds roll by. Among the mines bat are closed is tbe famous Molhe Gibson mine, at Aspen which is the greatest silver producer in America. The balancing of the government accounts for the fiscal year just ended shows a surplus of $2,000,000, which is satisfactory vindications of republican methods and practices. 96 Special levy of ten mills.

The bequest of the late John Thomson to the city of Charleston of a residuary estate, which it is estimated will amount to a sum exceeding f 100,000 and possibly twice as much, has naturally caused a eood deal of talk around town, and the talk in most instances resolves ltseii into the question, "What shall wo do with it?" It is no secret that Mr. Thomson at one time intended to leave a handsome legacy to the museum of tho College of Charleston in fact, a will was made to that effect but at seems that the pres ent will was made subsequently to that. The money is given to the city absolute ly, which gives every citizen and tax- . payer a right at least to express an opin ion as to what tbe city council should do with it. Charleston ftews.

New York Times. The Treaty Witli BaHU. The principal point of objection in the proposed treaty with Russia is the ex ceedingly loose definition of political of fenses in article 3, which exposes a large class of people who come to this country for a refuge from political, social and religious oppression to the malicious machinations of a foreign power, which affords no such guarantees of a fair and just trial under the law as those which constitute the chief pride and privilege of the American people. Standing as this nation does for uni versal liberty and unman rights, we stultify our own principles and deny our own history when we deprive one worthy refugee who has been persecuted out of his native land of the guardianship of our beneficent laws and the protection of our courts, of justice. Under this treaty the Russian government can come into this country by means of its agents and pursue any Russian whom it may see fit to charge with an extraditable offense and demand his immediate surrender, even though he has become a fully natu ralized American citizen. 2ew York Mail and Exnress.
