Whilb John Bull was using the ‘ Monroe dootrins as a foot mat, Mr. Cleveland was—marshalling his cabinet to have their photos taken. Ex-Spbakbr Crisp successfully straddled the silver question during the last congress, and now he is trying the same aot for the benefit of his Georgia constituents. If the claimants now trying to estab lish s legal title to the bottom of the Potomac river succeed, McGlnty’s heirs should lose no time in claiming the bottom of the sea. Wbbn the south gives the same wel come to New England’s freedom of opinion and action that it does to New England capital it will begin to move forward at an accelerated pace. It will be entirely fitting to call Chi cago’s new democratic dally the En quirer, as the most of the time of its managers is likely to be spent enquir ing who is going to furnish money to pay the bills. Can’t somebody prevail upon Col. Henry Watterson to postpone hie two year tour to Europe until after the presidential campaign. The colonel’s peculiar style of oampaign sky-rockets make too interesting a feature to be left out, and no one else can manufacture 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. Vracuhas opined to international art exhibition. Extraordinary mean* have been taken to draw Tiaitora. The government printed 1,000,000 poet cards eaeh of which had an advertisement of the exhibition printed on it. The rail ways are offering special facilities in issuing reduoed rates from all parts to Venice, and the citixena of Venice have subscribed 010,000 to be expended in music, illuminations, regattas, and a re vival of the old sports and shows of Venlee. _ _ _ 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.— Inter-Ocean. HEART DISEASE!
