Edmisten, pop ulist oil ; inspector turned over, to tiie state tieasurer $500 which he had col lected in excess of the expenses incurred in inspecting oils. State 'Treasurer Me serve used the $500 to take up and can- eel state warrants that were drawing 5 per cent interest. The law does not pre wcribe any particular time at which ma state oil inspector shall account to the state treasurer for fees collected. Mr. Edmisten under the statutes might have kept the $500 in his posession to the close of hist rm and had tha use of it nearly two years and then turned it in to the treasury. There is no doubt but that be could have loaned it at a good rata of interest and cleaerd for him self nearly $100, , When it came time to nettle with the state he would only be require ' account for "fees collected." Mr. Elwiisten evidently prefers to pay to the state as he collects, and in that way avoid the rink of "being short at the close of bis term. The officers of pre ceding administrations have usually in vested the state's money for their own benefit and as a rule the investment proved a failure and the state was the Iosiug party. As an illustration com. pare the record of Hilton the republican oil inspector with the rucord madejby Mr. Edmisten the present populist iu- k pee tor.

IN THE HANDS OF THE BOARD The Tskine of Evidence in the Doctor Fall Case is Completed. The board has completed the bearing of testimony and evidence in the Doctor Fall case. It has not yet rendered a do cision. It appears from the evidence that difficulty in the management of tbe institntion bad existed for some time between the steward Hon. I. A. Sheridan aruf Doctor FallT "the"6uperintendent be fore the board took any action in the matter. Tbe case was privately inves tigated and tbe two men were advised to compromise their difficulties. But it was to no avail, the trouble continued. The board decided to dispose of tbe matter by asking for the resignation of both men. Sheridau was willing to re sign but Dr. Fall would not comply with tbe request claiming that all of the trouble was due to Sheridan's ill temper and troublesome disposition. While in vestigating the trouble between the two men tbe board discovered tbat Dr. Fall had not complied with its request in several particulars and in some instances had violated its orders. In the matter of engaging the em ployes the evideuce showed that alter the board bad selected Dr. Fall all of the applications for positions in tbe Beatrice institute were sent to him and he was requested to make such selections as he desired and submit the list to the board for confirmation. This he did and the board confirmed all of the nominations made by Dr. Fall with one exception, in tbe case of Mrs. Bellow. Dr. Fall put her to work any. way regardless of the refusal of the board. After Fall had made his recom mendations and the appointments had been confirmed by the board be put ouly a few of those selected at work until a couple months later. He placed those who were residents of Beatrice on tbe pay rol earlier than those from other parts of the state. The. board was in favor of removing the republicans and installing the new employes as fast as possible. It was also brought out thatthe board had let the contract for coal for the in stitution to a firm at $2.50 per ton and that Dr. Fall did not procure coal from the contractor but purchased from a Beatrice firm at $2 95 per ton. This in creae in price amounted to $74.70 for tbe month of April. The same thing was true in the purchase 0;' meats and other supplies. The charge that Dr. Fall was incom petent as a physician was not well sus tained. The decision of the board is uncertain but will probably be adverse to I) ft Fall. Tbe reports that the case will be carried to the courts are probably without foun dation, as the court hat decided in the Abbott-Hay cafe that tbe action of the board is not reviewable in tbe courts.

NO FINANCIAL LEGISLATION Same old Flan Tbat has Been Used so Many Times to De feat Bimetallism. They Tinker with the Tariff. In speaking of tbe resolution requir ing the speaker to appoint tbe commit tees of the house and enable it to transact the business for which it was elected, Hon. Charles F. Cochran of Mis souri, pointed out that the issue in the last campaign was the financial ques tion and not the tariff, that the people placed the present congreea in power to modify the currency laws not merely to increase taxes. He stated that they had flatly repudiated all of their ante-elec tion pledges. He said ; in regard to the present inaction of conarrowe: "The country vtu.t..ts a spectacle just such as was presented by tbe fa mous extra session of IoSm. then congress elected on a platform clearly defining tbe tariff as the paramount issue was hustled together 10 extra session for tbo purpose of enacting a single statute vitally affecting the finances. Mow we nave an extra ses sion of a congress distinctively coinmis. sioned to reform the finances assembled for the sole purpose of increasing the taxes. We meet on Monday and ad journ until Thursday, and on Thursday weadiourn until . Monday, bitting on tbe renublicaa side of this chamber are nearly zou statesmen, eacn ot whom stands solemnly pledged to do his ut most to relieve bis countrymen of the distress which he bas told them is in part the result of a bad currency system. You told the people you would termi nate these evils, and they grave yon con. trol of the government. 1 am asked to agree with these gentlemen 111 a policy of procrastination, which is nothing more nor Jess tnau a stuuied repudiation of these solemn pledges. 1 1 agree with tbe gentleman from lexas in the belief if tbe republicans could somehow agree op currency legislation, it would doubtless be a bad law and not a good one that they would attempt to place upon the statute books. But, Mr. Speaker, you know and I know tbat there is no possibility of an agreement of the republicans of this body upon any bill affecting the finances. Hope less divisions of opinion and conscious ness of their incapacity to deal with this subject compel tbe republican ma jority in this house to idle away time wnicn otherwise would be devoted to at least an effort to redeem their party pledges. No sooner does some repre sentative come forward witb a scheme for currency reform than he is the tar get of assault by two-thirds of the mem bers of his own party. For two years the distinguished member from Massa chusetts has carried about in his inside pocket a bill to revise the banking laws and currency system. Probably it is better than existing laws assuredly it could be no worse- but the other ''wise men of the east" will have none of this. Like other similar bills which have emenated from what has come to be known as "business cir cles," it is indorsed by its author and condemned by everybody else. Two or three years ago there assembled in Bal timore a considerable number of distin guished "financiers." Day after day they discussed the mouey question,.' Up on one point only could they agree. They were unanimous in the opinion i.hat the country was going to des truction for the want of an adequate currency system, and having reached this decision they proceeded to construct a currency bill embodying what bas come to be known as the "Baltimore plan." The country was assured by Its authors tbat the healing formula bad been discovered, ( And what became of it? It was brought into this chamber for consideration. The "lawyers and politicians," for whom the "financiers" entertain due aversion, took a shot or two at it and the bill and its authors disappeared from public view. I believe there is now no division of opinion as to tbe fact that from beginning to end it was a medley of absurdities. Later Mr. Carlisle bellwether of the "boltocrats," the statesman who de nounced the gold standard as the pro genitor of more mmery than has resulted from all of the wars, pestilences, and famines of recorded time, and then be came its chief defender the most illus trious victim of the Cleveland hari-kari Mr. Carlisle tried his band on a scheme for monetary reform. Like tbe Balti more plan, it was indorsed by many of the "wise men of the east," and recom mended to the favorable consideration ot thin body, and in due season, tike the Baltimore plan, it found deserved burial in th coriurewsional rubbish beap, Mr. Speaker, it is the lata of these schemes, devised not by the sifver cranks but by the is men who are found only 111 buniiiens circle, uud endorsed not by HCKtern democrats and populmts, but by the national bunkers, that basdis curged tbe currency tinkers ou the othr side of tbe chamber.
