The shortage of ex-treasnrer Bolln of Omaha is now figured at $115,000, with probably ten to twenty thousand to be added. Whes will somebody give us a real new fairy-story a story for children, that is, a story that every judicious child will buy to present to its parents?" The reraarkablo new constitution which is just going into operation in South Carolina is reviewed in detail by Albert Shaw in the January Review of Reviews. The Review of Renews for January contains two cartoon maps suggesting the wars, riots and rebellions that have disturbed the peace of the world during the year 1895. It is now given out that Morgan & Co. will take all the bond issue or none at all. Give them none, and let the common people be consulted about their own business. Hexkt Bolln, ex-city treasurer of Omaha, was placed under. arrest Satur day evening lost, the information charg ing him with embezzlement and larceny of city funds. DriXG, Horace Greeley exclaimed, "Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wings, those who cheer today will cure tomorrow, only one thing endures character." "Chkistmas charity is a moral that needs teaching all the year round, and not merely at a season when mankind is predisposed by plum-pudding to mistake a good moral for a good book." "The idea that a nation can fight a desperate and long drawn out war with nothing but paper and go to ruin in a time of profound peace the moment the gold standard fails, is too absurd for serious consideration." At Philadelphia they have instituted a method of getting rid of their garbage that is said to be very successful. It in volves the use of electricity. It has long been popularly believed that electricity, in the shape of lightning, is a purifier of the atmosphere. The New York World sent out tele grams last week to all the National banks in the country asking them how much they would subscribe to the new government loan. We notice that the four Fremont National banks replied that they would take $50,000. Mrs. Mattie Mveks, who for over three years conducted a questionable resort in Philadelphia, declares she paid the police every week for protection. When the payment ceased she was ar rested and sent to prison and after being incarcerated for a week she was dis charged upon the payment of $100 to a lawyer and to a private detective of the district attorney. The frontispiece of the January Re view of Reviews is a reproduction of what is known in Germany as Emjieror William's cartoon. The Emperor did not draw the picture, but gave the idea and a rough sketch to an artist, approv ed of the finished result, and presented the original to the Czar of Russia. The motive of the work is an exhortation to the nations of Europe to "join in the defense of your faith and your home." It is stated that the city attorney of Omaha is delaying action on a resolu tion directing the legal department to take immediate steps to obtain the amount of Henry Bolln's defalcation from his bondsmen. Attorney Connell takes the position that it would bo use less to go into court until the experts have determined what part of the total defalcation is to be charged to Bolln's raspective terms of office. The experts have been working at this phase of the matter for some weeks and are said to be yet far away from a definite amount. Major Peakxax, who died recently at his home in Omaha, was among the earliest settlers in the state, locating at Nebraska City in 1854. He was 65 years old and one of the most genial of men, fall of the milk of human kindness for his friends, and a hot shot always ready from a full box for bis opponents in any contest He was a born humorist, seem ingl and if there was a ludicrous side to any event, he was sure to find it. He was best known as "Squatter Governor" ' of the great state of Nebraska, and his messages to the burlesque "Third House" of the legislature were always an event of the times, the hits on state politicians being often "rich, rare and racy." Peace to hw memory. No one ever thought of introducing so expensive a feature as lithographic color work in the days when the leading mag azines cold for $4.00 a year and 35 cents a copy. But times change, and the magazines change with them. It has remained for The Cosmopolitan, sold at one dollar a year, to put in an extensive lithographic plant capable of printing 390,000 pages per day (one color). The Jknnarv issue presents as a frontispiece a water-color drawing by Eric Pape, illustrating the last story by Robert Ioais -Stevenson, which has probably ever been excelled even in the pages of the finest dollar French periodicals. The cover of The Cosmopolitan is also chang ed, a drawing of page length by the Canons Paris artist Rossi, in lithographic colors on white paper takes the place of the aaanilla back with its red stripe. " haiMT in In tiA a frmh BUT- tit. ILaCTimmal jtrie esoh month. i We are in receipt of a copy of a paper published at Kirksville, Missouri, in the interest of the novel method of the treatment of diseases called Osteop athy. It seems that there is a large school and hospital at that place devoted to the teaching and the practice of this new system of treatment without drugs. The founder of the system was an allo pathic physician, who lost three children by spinal meningitis and says that this put him to thinking and investigating, and his general conclusions, as set forth in this paper, are that man's body is a machine, a wonderful, living machine, and when all the parts (bones, tendons, muscles, blood-vessels, .etc.,) are where they ought to be, there is health; if any are displaced, there is the contrary. Food and water and pure air fed to the machine, he claims, (with oversight by a trained anatomist and physiologist when anything goes wrong) are sufficient ordi narily for the normal running of the machine. Accidents, etc., may call for the exceptional work of a surgeon. A. T. Still is the deviser of the system and pupils from his school have started out to compete for business with the allo paths, the homeopaths and all the other "paths." One of these, F. D. Parker, was brought into Justice Vien's court at Council Bluffs the other day to answer to a prosecution instituted by the Coun cil Bluffs Medical society, the charge being that Parker was "practicing medi cine without a permit from the state board of health." The account of the proceedings in the trial iB very interest ing, but too lengthy for us to copy. The result was that there being no evidence before the jury that Parker had ever held himself out as a healer or that he used medicine or surgical instruments, the verdict was "not guilty," the defense introducing no evidence. A number of local physicians were present at the trial, besides people and patients in sympathy with the osteopath. One of these piped forth from the jury box: "Was it a crime for Jesus Christ to heal on the streets of Jerusalem without a permit from the state board of health?" "That's it," roared Finley, the attorney prosecuting, with the angry blood rushing to his face, and making it resemble a boiled lobster: "bring on your crowd of hood lums and let 'em cheer. If Jesus Christ shonld come in town today and set up a saloon on Broadway it would be a crime, just as much as for any one else." Jus tice Vien rapped for order, which, the reporter wittily remarks, "came when it got ready." They get after some things in the cities a little more closely than in small places these days, and it is well enough to keep track of what is going on. Dr. Reilly of the health department of the city of Chicago says that the alarming increase of intestinal diseases is due wholly to the drinking water. There it is procured from the lake and the people have been cautioned to boil it before using it for drinking purposes, which many have neglected to do, and conse quently winter cholera is epidemic all over the city. It is a disease of the intestines and caused by drinking bad or impure water. The health depart ment of Chicago are making an analysis of the water each day and claimed it is improving, but still not fit to use for drinking without boiling. The same condition of things may be safely assnm- j ed in most places in the country where surface water, or water nearly at the surface is used. There is, for instance, here a big difference between the water in the ordinary drive well, and in the deeper wells which constitute the supply for our city waterworks, and the water of our very deep wells the artesian, ia still purer. A Wont for Cady. The Schuyler Sun assures Congress man Meiklejohn that while it would have been proud to support him for a re nomination, it cannot and will not at present assist in gratifying his guberna torial aspirations. The reason given is that the Sun's choice for governor is "the Hon. A. E. Cady, of St. Paul, and as long as there is any chance of his being a candidate he shall remain that choice for the reason that the Sun be lieves he is deserving of the nomina tion." The boys up in this neck-o'-the-woods are just no v- of theopiuion that Mr. Cady would lie a mighty good man to beat Si HolcouTb for congress with, but he has not as yet given anyone caiiso for believing that he desires po litical honors of any nature whatever. However, if he shonld decide to enter the lists against Meiklejohn et al be would have western Nebraska almost solidly at his back and would make serions inroads on the territory repre sented by the other fellows. f St. PpuI Republican. The Blair Pilot, supposed to be an impartial observer at close range, of affairs at Omaha says of the Bolln de falcation: "To an outsider it looks as if every possible effort of the bondsmen, the ex perts put on the books, the Comptroller whose office it was to Know the condition of the city treasury nt all times and the united effort of all the official power and influence of the city except its mayor, has been playing to screen Bolln and his deputy and to deceive the public as to the true state of facts." It seems that three or four high-priced experts have been on the treasurer's books ever since Bolln's exposure' came early last summer and they found prac tically nothing so far as the public could learn more than was known within the first three days until an admission of of the loss of a $77,000 bond item was reluctantly forced from them a few days since by outsiders and largely through the efforts of the Bee. The first reproduction of Mr. Percy Ives's recent portrait of President Cleve land is one of the many interesting features of the January issue of The Art Amateur, and the article on "Beards leyism" extravagance is pertinent and appropriate. The supplement of work ing designs is full of the usual features and the most popular colored supple ment of the month is nndoubtedly the beautiful sunny landscape by the Bel gian painter Veyrassat, entitled "The Last Load." The magazine is really a marvel both in the richness and variety of its contents and the beautiful care and finish of its production. It is abso lutely indispensable to every lady of culture, and every man who appreciates art in the lumsehold should see that at least one copy cctnes in the house to stay every month. Montague Marks, 23 Union Square, New York, Price 35 cents. $400 per annoro, As to Ealaaa. The war talk has not all'died away. The atmosphere is pretty dear, and the motives are pretty well understood all around, but so far as our more-or-less lineal cousins on the little island across the big pond are concerned, we are pretty much a unit in opinion. It is good to compare notes and opin ions occasionally, and so we give our readers tho following, duly credited: Chicago Tribune: Instead of appeal ing to American authors for peace, these Englishmen should appeal to their own government tc do right This is just what they have not done, however. They have not even intimated that their gov ernment might be wrong. They say: "We want peace and our customary profits. Help ns in preserving them by admitting that England is right and Venezuela and the United States wrong, and the Monroe doctrine a musty tradi tion which England is not bound to respect" Philadelphia Times: We feel that we have made a reasonable suggestion to Great Britain a suggestion such as one gentleman might make to another not merely in self-interest, but in the inter est of a weaker neighbor. Our sugges tion has been rejected in a manner that touches our self-respect, and the nation has very promptly indicated its deter mination to make it a demand. Of course this means that we will fight if we must, or that we assume that England does. It is simply that we do not intend to be bullied, even by our nearest of kin. LET LAJMjii PONDEK. PROTECTIVE POLICY MEANS PERMA NENT PROSPERITY. AmrrlcM Protective Tariff Leajrae's Aa bb1 Addr to Votrr Democratic Slo gans Xo lAtager I lave Effect A New Snare Invented by the Eaemy. The annual address of the American Protective Tariff league, prepared by Hon. Joseph E. Thropp, at the request of the board of managers, is as follows: To the American Voter: Since our last annual meeting much has occurred to justify the organiza tion and continued work of the league. The protracted discussion of the tariff by the enemies of the protective system, who h'ad been intrusted by the vote of 1892 with the control of the govern ment, and the widespread suffering which resulted through their vicious distortion of facts, had a tendency to cause the more timid protectionists to become discouraged, and they seemed willing to compromise on almost any terms. Some senators became so alarm ed, as the couditioi. of the country con tinued to grow worse under the strain, that they feared to resort to extreme measures to prevent the passage of a tariff reduction law, lest their constitu ents, in their anxiety for "peace at any price, " might not sustain them. We felt this depression, fear and un certainty, but knew that the battle was for tho industrial welfare of our people and country, and we strongly urged sen atois to resist tariff reduction to the ut most, believing that a few weeks of un certainty were far preferable to several years under a bad law. AH did not re sist as we had urged, and the result is tho burden of a mongrel tariff law. This law affords inadequate protection to oar workinginen and industries, fails to renew prosperous times and does not afford enough revenue to meet tho expenses of the government. The league had to contend against the discouragements referred to, but its officers felt that the cause which we ad vocated wad the people's cause, and that the appeal should be niado to the peoplo's representatives. Efforts to gain needed support were systematically pushed; means of reaching the people through the press of the country were largely increased; facts showing there suits of tariff tinkering were carefully gathered and widely circulated; whole some truths were constantly presented to tho thoughtful voter to show him the dangers which confronted him. The wis dom of this course has been fully vindi cated. The revolution which took place in the publio mind, as shown in Novem ber last, has never been equaled in our po litical history. Catch words or phrases no longer blind the people. Such slogans as "Tho tariff is a tax." "Robber bar ons," "Taxing tho many to enrich tho few," etc., no longer have effect The nowly invented phrase, "Tariff agitation most be suppressed because it injures hu&iuess," is a purposely mis leading snare of the enemy. The people know that all American interests grew and wero made stronger during the dis cussion of the law of 1890, more and inoro as it was made manifest that safe protection of our industries would pre vail, and not n single American interest was injured. On tho other hand, after the election of 1S93, as it became more and more certain that protection would be weakened, industry fter industry felt the blighting effects of threatened free trade, which culminated in the pas sago of the Wilson-Gorman monstrosity. The people aro in favor of protection. They arc determined to have the Ameri can markets for American products. If those who should be their leaders and champions lack courage, the American voters do not Now that a calm review of the situ ation can be taken it seems proper to ex press clearly tho views and policy of the supporters of the league. We be lieve that our country has varieties of soil and climate enough to produce nearly if not all that we as a people need, and that hidden beneath the sur face are mineral resources sufficient to add to our comfort and wealth. We be lieve in developing these under an American policy and an American sys tem of wages. We believe in considering first our own markets tho best in the world and protecting them; then we favor trading with foreign nations where the result is trade and not simply pur chase in other words, reciprocal trade. We know that if we produce what we need and sell it within ourselves we as a nation have both the products and the money the wealth while if we per mit other nations to produce and sell to ns we may have their products, but they will have our money. Protection laws are not sectional, bnt apply in their benefits to all portions of our land. The people by their votes have indorsed this view. For the first time in many years the "solid south" has been broken, and protectionist sen ators have been elected from the south to help restore the United States senate to the friends of protection. The people have learned that no wall divides the north from the south, the east from the west The tariff laws, which have en- The advocacy and discussion of a lower, tariff have invariably brought ruin and destruction; bnt on the con trary, the advocacy and discasrion of protection have brought success and stability to every American interest We do not believe in a tariff for rev enue with incidental protection, bnt we do believe in a tariff for adequate pro tection. We know that the wisdom of he friends of jo4eotionwill, lathe fu- tmre as in the past be capable of devis ing means to supply all the revenue that is needed to maintain the pablic credit We have full faith in the patriotism and wisdom of the people. We will push forward the work of the league ia all sections of our land, feeling that in the end the policy of protection will be restored in full effect, and that some of the immense losses that we have gof fered will be regained. Democratic Boaster's TrnnMe. WHY WON'T WOMEN LEAD? Taw Canmtry Iaaadatetl With Oowna of Feel-a Maawfactnre. I imagine women would open their pretty eyes wide at the idea of their owing anything to their own city. Bnt they do. They owe to their own country a sort of loyalty that will make it fear no competition with the luxury venders of other countries. I once heard a most excellent woman a modiste with a clientele of a high class agontaingJbver the great national question of protection or no protection with such frenzied earnestness that I was compelled to ask her why it touched her in such personal fashion. She was for protection. "Touch me," she answered tragically. "Of course it touches nic. Free trade, and the country is inundated with the gowns that I now import for my ladies, ladies who will wear nothing of Americau manufacture." What a great people the Americans would be if the women, on tho contrary, would wear nothing that was not of American manufacture. How easily they could set the fashions for the world if, with their wealth, independence and love of luxury, they chose to be leaders where now they are satisfied to copy and follow. Jeannetto H. Walworth. WHERE BUSINESS IS BOOMING. The New York Costota Iloase Is Taxed t the Utmost Handling Imports. A stroll through the wholesale dry goods district of New York citj will convinco the most skeptical that whole sale houses, largo and small, are taking advantage of this era of Gorman free trade to buy everything in their lino anywhere but in the United States. The sidewalks along tho dry goods sections are blocked with thoso strong, heavy boxes bearing tho inscription "Made in England," "Made in France," "Made in Germany," eta This looks to tho casual observer like good times and prosperity, but ieu we consider that each one of these foreign boxes and bales throws a dampening shower on our own furnace fires, and that the prosperity is over tho water and not here, the whole business assumes an other aspect An employee of the New York custom house has stated that dar ling his 20 years of service ho has never before seen such a volume of imports as is now entering the country. The whole custom house force as well as many sub stitutes are employed on full time. This is prosperity for tho custom house em ployee, bnt it is destitution for the American workman. Meeker Missed Fire. The state department recently circu lated a report from Consul Meeker, Brad ford, England, to the effect that Ameri can woolen goods were being sold in the Bradford market Oar worthy consul went off at half cook. After firing off his first report ho proceeded to investi gate the subject, learning that one soli tary case of samples of American cloth had been furnished only to one Bradford house to try and have their fabric placed ,in the Indian and South African mar kets. Consul Meeker's anxiety to find a foreign market for American goods, now that our wall of protection has been smashed down, evidently got the better of his discretion. The state department ought not to have circulated such a story without proper investigation at this end at least Inquiries should have been made from our manufacturers and ex porters. Democracy and Deficiency. The way to stop loans is to stop de ficiencies. The reserve is sure to be drained if you cut off the supply. The outflow of gold will never trouble us when the inflow of gold is only large enough. Loans and deficiencies seem to be inseparable from the Democratic party, and we should ever remember that we cannot replenish the treasury of a government by impoverishing the peo ple who sustain the government Home prosperity is the key to an easy treasury and a high credit Governor William McKinley. Bennett's Paper Happy. French trade statistics for January show an increase of nearly $11,250,000 in exports. This gain, which amounts to 25 per cent, "is attributed chiefly to the recovery in trado with the United States on the change in tariff," a fact that shonld be noted by the producers of American raw material, by American farmers, by American manufacturers and by American wage earners.' ' Tin Plato Imports. Tin plate imports at New York dur ing tho five months ending Jan. 31, 1895, when the Gorman tariff was in operation, aggregated 93, 494, -155 pounds as compared with imports of 72,024,037 pounds dnring the corre sponding months a year earlier. Wait TU1 the Whistle Blows. When President Cleveland was inau gurated two years ago, Duffy Bros., silk, manufacturers of this village, muzzled their factory whistle, and it has not been blown since, the working people going to and from their work without its me lodious sound. The whistle will be again blown in 1897 with the inauguration of a Republican president and good old times. Fort Plain (N. Y. ) Free Press. Oar Fires Won't Bam.

RELATION OF A POLITICAL ERUPTION TO BUSINESS. the Shadow of General Unaldattest FeU Orer the Doorstep of Natteaal Pros perityLosses That Amonnted to Three Times the Cost of the Civil War. Various estimates have been made of the cost to the country of the Fifty-third congress and of the present free trade administration. It is difficult to arrive at a true estimate of the loss that the people have suffered through, their folly in November, 1892. This period of our history has been concisely described by Messrs. Clapp 8b Co., the New York bankers, in their weekly circulars. On Nov. 11, 1892, they said: "The recent election shows the people want to speculate. " Four months later, on March 17, 1893, shortly after the inauguration of Presi dent Cleveland, they said: "The shadow of general liquidation falls over the doorstep of national pros perity." Three months later, on June SO, Clapp's circular said : "The credit panic appears to have crossed the continent, and scarcely four THE WEIGHT OF IT. months have passed and a billion of rep resentative money has disappeared. " In their 1893 souvenir they show that the ?o railway receiverships rendered necessary, that year involved an indebt edness amonutingto$l,212,21?,033 and the total liabilities of banks suspended was $210,998,808. The business shrink age in textile trades was almost $40, 000,000 and in other industries over $90,000,000. Adding the record of the trade fail ures they found that the disaster brought npon the country by the free trade party during 1893 was "equal to about 25 per cent of the annual production averago for the conntry during tho past decade." Our artist has explained the extent of the disaster for tho two full years from March, 1893, to March, 1894. Accord ing to the record of the bank clearings the shrinkago In business was $5,GG5, 000.000, during the first six months only that this new tariff has been in force, below tho amount of business done during tho first six months when the McKinley tariff was in operation. Progression and Protection. Interest in the cotton states in the in ternational exposition to open in Atlanta on Sept 18 next is spreading. The in dications are that the exposition will be particularly instructive to southern peo ple because it must show them to how high a degree of skill and advancement American manufacturing interests have progressed through the instrumentality of a protective tariff. The moro this fact is impressed npon the south the bet ter will it be for the entire country. California Fruit Cheapened. Nearly 4,000,000 pounds moro of for eign prunes were imported at New York during the first half year's operation of the new tariff than in the corresponding months a year earlier. California fruit growers will note this.
