MONETARY COMMISSION.
PrasideutMcKinley'B selection of the
to promote interna
has met with very
general approval.
The appointnacnt of ax-Vice President
Otaia in is especially agreeable to the
silver folks.
Senator Wolcott will probably be
the presidiag oaaoer of the com-
nnd it ia expected that they
will begin their work about the middle
of May.
In spssking of his appoiatmeat, Mr.
Otavansoa said that he appreciated the
compliment paid him by the president,
and added:
"IamabimeUlliat. I regard the res
toration of silver to its proper money
function as the supreme question in our
own country and throughout the world.
The importance of the question cannot
be overstated. In this country the in
oreaM in the volume of business is be
yond computation. In the light of these
facta tiie rehabilitation of silver is a
prima neoeasity. Should its demoneti
zation become the settled policy the evil
days upon which we have fallen but
dimly foreshadow consequences' yet to
come. Whatever our viewB may be as to
the ability of our government to main
tain the free and unlimited coinage of
silver without the co-operation of the
leading oountriee of Europe, it may be
safely assumed that every friend of aUver
in our country will welcome interna
tional bimetalliam.
r"As to the probability of success of
this commhuinn, it ia known that the
trend of publio sentiment in European
eouatriee, aa wall aa our own, is un
doubtedly favorable to bimetallism.
Many of the publicists of England and
Ganuauy are in earnest accord with our
government upon this question. Should
public sentiment in those oountriee jus
tify an international conference, one
would undoubtedly be called and action
taken that would be deemed proper,''
PROTESTS AGAINST THE DING
LEY BILL.
It ia stated that in their diplomatic
notes Germany, Italy and the Nether
lands try to convey distinct threats of
systeasatie retaliation, says the Chicago
Post. This is aa superfluous and idle as
it lis undignified. ThelUnited States
does doss not ask of others more than it
ia willing to accord them. It expects
them to legislate for their own people
and interests. It does not protest
against the high tariff policies of Ger
many and Russia, and would notjutter n
of- protest if England should re-
restore a protective system
month. It is willing to nego-
ttiatt Ijciprocity treaties on the basis of
mutual profit and advantage, bnt it
neither dictates nor finds fault "Retal
iation" for the sake of retaliation is an
absurdity, but self-preservation and self
protection are both necessary and legiti
mate. Each country is at liberty to
pursue the policy .it deems best for itself,
aad no angry threats of retaliation will
deter the United States from doing what
ia right and desirable in its own eyes in
domestic affairs.
Thkbh are some things transpiring in
Nebraska that are receiving a word of
commendation from the outside world.
The Philadelphia Press calls attention
to one of them, and that is that the su
preme court of Nebraska has abolished
"the absurd and oppressive rule of the
common law which requires a tenant to
pay rent to the end of his term on a
building which ia burned down. That
old rule, proper enough in the day and
land of ita origin, ia out of harmony with
present conditions. It still obtains in
Tennsylvania, and where a tenant has
not had the foresight to secure in his
lease exemption from liability for rent
when the building becomes untenenant
able be must in ease of destruction of
the building, pay full rent for the ash
heap to the end of his term, though his
landlord has received full value for the
building in insurance and in drawing
interest on it This is not reasonable
nor just As the supreme court of Penn
sylvania will never change the common
law rule in this regard, the legislature of
the state ought to do it and make the de
struction of leasedjpremises without the
fault of the tenant terminate the lease.''
We are pleased to see that our Eastern
friends are beginning to recognize merit,
even in Nebraska. By the way, is it not
high time for the newspaper people and
the modern judgea of the law to make
some strides towards modernizing the
old law methods, giving to the old prin
ciples, everyday, business applications.
Thin hearty commendation by a Phila
delphia paper, certainly ahowB one piece
where the old rule needed the force of a
new judge. Let the good work go on.
It ia incomprehensible to Thk Jour-
hal bow it is that everybody who thinks
at all cannot ase that the home market
is the one we are most especially con
cerned in, in the United States. The
main points in its favor are the same as
stated sixty-five years sgo by Henry
Clay: "It ia nearer us; beyond the con
trol of foreign legislation,' and undis
turbed by those vicissitudes to which all
international intercourse is more or less
exposed." The true theory is, diversity
of industry; development of natural re
sources; encouragement of home in
dustries. Let each man determine for
himself, aa best he can, what he can beet
do for a living; fit himself for hiscalling;
help others in their; proper work, and
thus the general idea is fulfilled. The
protection of our home market against
ruinous competition by cheap foreign
labor, tends to secure the diversified in
dustry, which, in turn, helps to preserve
the home market for the benefit of our
own people.

was nearly taken prisoner. His phut
was to force the pass of Beveai,to eater
the plain of Luiam and to cut off the
retreat of the Greek army with his cav
alry and thus take Lsrissa without re
sisteaoe. But this phut waa defeated.
General Demopoulos, at the head of
one Greek division, forced the Turkish
line at Boughais, close to TymavoMuid
General Ifavromochale broke through
atKoniskos. The two generals united
their troops near Damasi. The news of
this success at Reveni and of the immi
nent fall of Prevesa has changed the
dismay caused at Athens by the loss of
Ifilonna into the 'wildest rejoicing.
The latest advices are that the Greek
troops are advancing to reoccupy their
old positions at Milonna and at Gritao
ali, the latter of which, it is alleged,
was abandoned owing to a misunder
standing by the general in command,
who interpreted as an order to retreat
what waa really intended as an order to
advance.
Captain. Tagardo, who was wounded
at Gritaovali, shot himself in order to
avoid falling into the hands of the
Turks. The Greeks report that 7,000
Turks were killed and wounded at
Reveni, but this estimate is probably ex
cessive. The Greek engineers con
structed a bridge at Pachyakalos to
enable their troops to cross the river.
It is said that the Turkish forces attack
ing Reveni numbered more than 10,000

Washington, April 90. After much
effort, owing probably to some confusion
in wire transmission, the state depart
ment officials have succeeded in trans
lating the cipher cable dispatch received
by Secretary Sherman last night from
Minister Terrell at Constantinople. The
result was the following official state
ment: "The department of state has received
a dispatch from the United States min
ister to Turkey concerning the rupture
of relations between that country and
Greece and the Turkish declaration of
war. Mr. Terrell states that the minis
tar from Greece has bean informed that
he must leave before next Wednesday.
He is not permitted to communicate by
telegraph with the Greek government.
There are perhaps 40,000 men subjects
of Greece in Turkey. All subjects of
Greece are required to leave Constanti
nople within 15 days. Turkish troops
are scattered along the border of Thes
aaly and cannot quickly concanttate for
a decisive battle. This may enable the
Greek army to fight them in detail."

the Greeks are advancing or making

bodies of troops are stationed in the

During debate on the Indian bill Jfr.
Allen (Neb.) offered an amendment for
the establishment of an Indian supply
warehouse at Omaha. Mr. Gear (la.)
said this was designed to take the ware--aouae
from Chicago. If this was to be
done he would propose Sioux City, la.,
as well as Omaha, as an Indian supply
point. It led to an extended debate as
to the relative merits of various cities as
supply points for the Indians, which re
sulted in the Allen amendment being
agreed to.
An amendment by Mr. Hoar for two
additional federal judges in Indian Ter

Chicago, April 20. Rumors of com-
Jng demoralization in passenger rates
were revived by a report that the Mis
souri Pacific and Union Pacific were
paying the same commissions to ticket
brokers are now being paid regularly ap
pointed ticket agents. As the present
rata of commissions is four times that of
the normal, its payment to the brokers
would furnish them with a big margin
oa which to cut rates.
There is much talk of reductions in
regular one way rates to the same ex
tent as the cuts made by the brokers, at
general meeting of western passenger
representatives of all to be held here on
Wednesday,, to settle rates for the
Christian Endeavor association at San
Francisco next July. There is much
impatience to have the matter settled,
as it is feared demoralization will result
from leaving the matter open any
longer. The Southern Pacific has been
asked to state its position in the matter.

A gentleman who is usually a home

enter the race for a minor office early
in the campaign was "giving his ex

for office again, not if I know it. For
three weeks after I took the stump I
did not see my family, and during my
absence at that time a fellow who was
shipping watermelons for me pocketed
the returns for four carloads and skip

one of my best horses; my wife Invest

daughter ran away and married a fel

mutual relatives came to congratulate
my wife on the honor which had been
conferred upon me and incidentally to
spend the summer. Those three weeks
cost me in round numbers 400, to say
nothing of the son-in-law, who threat
ened to be permanent, and the office for
which I was striving is worth just 600
a year. I won't be elected, however,
and I'm glad of it But this has been

it I have learned just how much of a
