Can’t somebody prevail upon Col.

peculiar style of oampaign sky-rockets

them. , _
Thbrb is' no significance attached to
the adoption of a resolution favoring
placing the government printing office
under the civil service rules, by Colum
bia typographical union, of Washing
ton. Seven-tenths of the members of
that union are employes of that office,
who have not the slightest objection to
a life-time cinch on their jobs.

Tbs populist papers up the road are
not so all-fired badly struck on Governor
Holcomb as they were lut fall, as is ev
idenced by the following from the
Rushvllle Standard: “The Standard
wiahee to extend congratulations to
Bro. Sheldon, of the Chadron Signal,
for the manly criticism and condemna
tion he offere the notion of Governor
Holcomb In Ignoring completely the
populist party of Northwest Nebraska,
and appointing a democrat as deputy
oil inspector. Mr. Sheldon was himself
a candidate for the poeitlon, and it was,
therefore a rather delicate question for
him to speak of, but whatover personal
feeling he might have had in the matter
nothing of it appeared in the Signal’s
criticism of the governor’s action. We
believe this to be the proper course for
iciunu aewsp&pera io tate. uur exper
ience in the newspaper profession for
the past twenty years has taught us that
party newspapers too often withhold
honest criticism of the official acts of
public servants. They are too apt to
v wait UPtll they have some personal
grievance, and then “pounce upon" the
offldcial and treat him unjustly and un
#=■ fairly. It seems to us that in this ap
pointment a great crime has been com
mitted upon the populist party. We
have no personal fight to make upon
James C. Dahlman, but when we asked
V for a sword to assist in the battle, the
powers that be turned their back upon
us and placed the sharp steel into the
$ hands of our enemy. No party can
succeed and practice this kind of tactics.
We must have brave, fearless and un
compromising men in the lead or we
can but fail. We had great confidence
in Governor Holcomb. He has proven
| ■ himself equal to emergencies in each
•'*. and every case up to this act, but this
shows an inexcusable weakness in him,
. if he is personally responsible for the
appointment.”
On last Thursday there eras granted
to old soldiers in Nebraska nineteen
new pensions; and to old soldiers who
were never able to secure a pension
under republican administration. There
are every day from one to twenty new
pensions granted in this state now. and
by the democrats.—Cherry County In
dependent.
The above is not true, but is hardly
worth a denial. The present commis
sioner of pensions has put in nearly all
of his time reviewing the work of his
predecessor and cutting down pensions
allowed by him. Ninety per cent, of
these "new” pensions are nothing but
old ones reduced.
Our expose of Treasurer Mullen’s
method of depositing county funds
drew a three-column article in defense
from the last Issue of the Beacon Light.
It attempts to justify the treasurer by
pleading republican precedent. This
will not be satisfactory to the people.
The populists were elected upon a plat
form declaring for reform, and it makes
no difference to the tax payers what
Scott or Hayes did, only so far as they
may use their administrations to com
pare the policy of the pops. Our figures
published in regard to this matter were
absolute'ly correct and an inspection of
the records will satisfy any one who
may doubt them.
THE TREASURY DEFICIT.
The prediction of Senator Gorman,
uttered on the floor of the senate last
winter, is coming true. He warned his
party associates that unless something,
and something radical, were done to in
crease the revenues of the government
a great deficit was inevitable. Secretary
Carlisle talked, on tho contrary, of a
surplus. It will be seen from our
Washington special of today that dur
ing the eight months the present general
revenue law has been in operation the
receipts have fallen, in round numbers,
948.000. 000 below the outlays and there
is no promise of any satisfactory im
provement. This is at the rate of fully
95.000. 000 a month.
What is to be done? Senator Daniel,
of Virginia, wants the republican con
gress convened in extra session to devise
ways and means for relief, but it is not
thoughtvthat the president will entertain
the idea. "Take any form but that,”
observed Macbeth, "and my firm nerve
shall never tremble.” The administra
tion has already drawn heavily upon the
gold realized from the sale of bonds.
From a strictly legal point of view the
secretary of the treasury has no right to
use one dollar of the receipts from the
sale of bonds for any other purpose
than the redemption of legal-tender
notes, and if that policy were really
maintained the effect would be to check
the drain of gold, for not one dollar
more of paper money would go out in
consequence of such redemption, except
in exchange for gold, notwithstanding
the faet that the greenbacks redeemed
are to be paid out again.
mu vital point may well challenge
special attention. It is known that the
outlaya of the government are about
half a billion of dollars a year. Each
of the three last comgresses has been a
“billion dollar congress." Now, if the
receipts were such as to leave a fair
working balance, over and above those
expenditures, there could be no way to
play what our correspondent calls the
“thimble-rigging trick with the legal
tenders to deprive the treasury of gold.”
There was never anything of the kind
until the deficit; that is. until the treas
ury drew on its gold reserve to pay cur
rent expenses. Suppose the Roths
childs and Morgans, or any other syndi
cate, should attempt anything of the
kind, and could get every dollar of
those notes (8846,000,000) and present
them for redemption at the sub-treasury
in New York, either in lump or by in
stallments, the effect would be to com
pel the government to issue and sell a
lot of bonds to procure gold and then
lock up in the treasury a corresponding
amount of greenbacks. The treasury
would have a surplus of legal tenders
precisely to the extent of that extraor
dinary redemption. In other words,
the utmost the syndicate could do would
be to increase the bonded debt of the
nation that much, and put the country
to the expense of paying interest on a
large block of bonds when it really had
m vault the exact equivalent of those
bonds in leeal tender notes.
Such a condition of affaire would be
unfortunate, but it would involve no
very eerious consequences. It would be
as if a business man who had an ample
balance in bank for his business should
be obliged to borrow 9100,000 and let it
lie idle in bank.
All this brings us back to the proposi
tion that the only embarrassment in the
financial condition and possibilities of
the governmentlies in the fact that the
revenue law of the last congress is a
failure. The idea of putting an extra
tax on beer as a relief is quite in keep
ing with the asininity which the demo
cratic party has shown ever since its
return to power. It is not to be expect
ed that any such plan will meet with the
favor of congress.
If Mr. Cleveland would only leave the
matter to congress, and not attempt to
force his personal views on the subject
upon the acceptance of that body, he
would justify the claim formerly made
for him that he is better than his party.
It must be admitted that the prospect of
his doing so is exceedingly remote.—
