Providing For the 8nrltis. |
Ko action taken by congress al the
present session was more important than
Hint of the house of representatives on
Wednesday , In passing by nil over1-
whelming majority tlio joint resolution
of Mr. Morrison requiring Hie secretary
of the treasury to use the surplus revd-
nlic.o of the government in excess of $100-
000,000 in extinguishing the public debt
to the extent of 10,000,000 a month.
The llrst impression convoyed by the de
cisive vote by which the resolution was
passed 20 ? to 07 Is the renewed demon
stration It gives of the very restricted and
feeble hold which the financial policy of
the administration has upon the demo
crats in congress. It might have been
supposed that after the somewhat lugu
brious communications that pas cd be
tween Secretary Manning and the presi
dent , regarding tlio resignation of the
former , in whMi the unwisdom ot con
gress was seriously deplored , there would
have occurred n change of heart among
democratic representatives favorable to
Hie financial views and policy of the ad
ministration. It would appear from the
vote of Wednesday that the contrary
cll'cct had been produced , and that the
ranks of the. opponents of the administra
tion policy had been reinforced. It is tone
no purpose that Mr. Morrison denied that
the resolution was a condemnation of the
administration , for whether it bo called
in the moderate description of Mr. Hewitt
a declaration of "want of confidence , " or
characteri/.cd by any other torins , it was
palpably and unequivocally an aclof hos
tility to the administration , and is un
doubtedly so regarded by the president ,
to whom Mr. Morrison satirically referred
as "thisgood mail ) Cleveland. "
As pointed out by Mr. McKinley , the
proposition is simply to compel the sec
retary of the treasury to exercise a power
which is given him by existing law , to bo
employed at his discretion , but which ho
has persistently refused to exorcise , ex
cept to a very limited extent. Under the
influence of the interests or the fears pro
ceeding from eastern money centers , Air.
Manning has insisted upon maintaining
in the treasury an immense reserve , ami
during the sixteen mouths ended with
the close of the lust fiscal year
called in for redemption but ? o8,001),000 )
of government bonds , and this ho did
reluctantly in response to a pressure
which the administration deemed it inex
pedient to resist. It cannot bo shown
that the conditions prevailing since the
present administration went into power
have been any less favorable to a reduc
tion of the public debt than were those
under the preceding administration , and
yet the average reduction of the debt for
every sixteen months of the republican
administration , with a surplus all the
time much less than Air. Manning has
maintained , was $153,000,003. , And this
largo reduction of the debt neither im
paired confidence in the governm cnt ,
damaged the business and industries of
the country , deprived labor of cm ploy-
incut , depreciated the currency of the
country relatively to gold , nor brought
about any otlior of tlio calamities which
Mr. Ilowitt threatened as certain to occur
if the resolution should pass requiring
the employment of the surplus publie
money to pay tlio public dnbt.
There is but OUB proper way in which
to regard this matter , and that is from a
purely practical standpoint. It seems to
us to be a simple business proposition , to
which it is necessary to apply only well
understood business principles. Tlio
government owes obligations which it is
pledged to pay , and upon which there is
an annual interest charge of ? 51,000,000
nearly a million dollars a week. This
charge is a lax upon the people , and it is
manifestly the duty of the government to
relieve the people of this demand as
rapidly as it can bo done with assured
safety. To assume , as the argument of
Mr. Hewitt does , that the government
will lose public confidence and credit by
paying its debts , when it has a most
ample reserve , with abundant assurance
of being able to maintain it , for the pro
tection of its currency , is to fly in the
fuco of all experience , both in
private and public business. It
is quito probable that there arc
ruonied institutions ace.nmulating gold ,
as Air. Hewitt stated , in apprehension of
danger. It is the misfortune of the coun
try that it has such institutions , but the
experience of the last ton years does not
warrant any faith in the views of thcsu
pessimists.
Wo are not sanguine that the payment
of $10,000,000 a month out of the national
treasury in redemption of bonds would
prove so great a stimulus to the indus
trial and business interests of the country
as some of the supporters of'the proposi
tion assume it would , There is some
force in the argument that the money
would simply go Into the pockets of.bond-
holders , to bo re talned there or put into
some other form of bond investment.
But wo insist , on the other hand , that it
is obviously absurd to assume that there
can bo any injury result either to the
financial welfare of the people or the
government from the latter pursuing the
wise and honest policy , approved by all
business experience , of using its surplus
revenues , in excess of a safe sum for the
protection of its currency promises , in
paying Its debt and reducing tho"
heavy interest charge upon the people.
Neither are wo forgetful of the fact that
this process will ultimately involve some
changes as , for example , in the securi
ties of the national bunks that will need
to bo wisely and carefully made. But
none of these are diuicult or { iisurniounl-
able , and however dltlicult they jnlght
bo thuv should not bo allowed to stand
in the way of the primary duty of the
government to pay Its debts as rapidly
as it can do so with safety to the general
welfare.
Atilivtlu Cholera.
Asiatic cholera is steadily marching
westward. Urlndisi is once more under
the plauguo. Trieste , the ohiof part of
Austria , has been attacked. In A few
weeks one may expect to hear of the ar
rival of the scourge in Franco , where
last summer it raged with such fatal viru
lence , Once started on its travels , no
epidemic known to soiunoo is so difllcult
to arrest Breaking out in India in 1817
the cholera rapidly swept over Asia. In
1830 it ravaged all Europe. It spread to
England in 1631 , and in n single year car
ried off more than 60,000 victims. It
crossed the Atlantic and dovnsted North
and South America , disappearing in 1837 ,
During this period of twenty years n mil
lion and a half deaths were credited
to the fearful disease , Cholera again
visited Europe in 1817,1858 and 1600 , In
our own country from 1635 to 1813 there
were no traces of the disease. In the latter
year cholera"ngntn appeared and swept
Iho entire continent from year to year1
until 18,11. The disease once more put in
an appearance In 1800 nml was epidemic
along nil the Hues of transportation in
the country. The lust vl lt of cholera to
the United States occurred in 187 ! ) when
the Mississippi valley Was the heaviest
sufferer.
In view of the possible ad vent of cholera
to our shores this yeartho authorities and
the public cannot be too careful in
insisting upon the observance of thn
most careful sanitary regulations. Chol
era is bred in tlio dirt of the Ganges delta
ana the germ of the disease is propagated
in lilth along Its entire travels. Cleanli
ness and cholera are mortal enemies.
Garbage and filth feed tlio cholera germ
and pass it from one section to another.
Personal cleailllnos.-i , avoidance of stale
anil unripe fruit , cnro in ventilation ,
fresh air in the house ttndc'oan ' yards and
streets and alloys around it are tlio best
preventive of cholera. They are reme
dies which lie within the reach of all.
Those UclicfllllK
The bills for the relief of the Union
Piioiliustill hang lire In Washington. It
is beginning to bo conceded that there is
little probability of their passage this
session. Tito sixty year extension meas
ure is not favorably received by those
who demand that tlio government's lion
on the road shall iu > t bo weakened , and
who insist that the bill would legalize all
the iniquitous acts of the Gould-Dillon
regime. The other measure drafted bv
the Omaha board of trade and backed by
50,000 petitioners from Nebraska , which
permits the company to borrow money
to build extensions , is in hardly better
condition in congress. Hosides , it is not
urgently pressed by thu managers ,
The ' 'slight amendment" introduced
by Senator Van Wyok , prohibiting
construction rings and stock watering
cast a damper on the enthusiasm of sev
eral of its original promoters. No rail
road has been built in that way fora num
ber of years , and doubts were expressed
whether Mich u method of railroad con
struction was practicable.
But both bills are opposed mo't
strongly of all by the Washington work
ers for the Burlington and Northwestern
railroads. These companies wore prompt
to recognize the fact that branch lines
for the Union I'acilio meant invasion of
their territory in return for their aggres
sions on Union Pacilic ground. They
have accordingly done their best to de
feat any move to untie the hands of the
Union Pacilic management. So
far their efforts seem to have
met with considerable success.
The Union Pacific is now suffering for
the crimes of the highway robbers who
mercilessly picked the pockets of patrons
and stockholders for years with great
impartiality in order to line their own.
If the road had in its treasury half the
stealings of Gould and Dillon and their
lieutenants , there would be no need of
relief bills. 'Unit little stun of ton mil
lions which the "Colossus of roads , " as
Dr. Aliller used to affectionately call him ,
pocketed from the consolidation of' tlio
Kansas Pacific and Denver Pacilic , would
alone gridiron Nebraska with Union
Pacific feeders. Half the amount
would construct 000 miles of
branch lines in this state.
For all that it is unfortunate that the
road now finds itself tied hand and
foot in the presence of wealthy and ag
gressive rivals and without means to
compotcfor tralllc which it is able and
willing to carry. The people of Ne
braska have no interest in seeing the road
wrecked from mere weakness to sustain
itself even though ita strength has been
sapped by conscienceless swindlers in its
own general offices.
An Ur ont Noctl.
Every day presses more strongly upon
the attention of the business men of
Omaha the urgent necessity of more
direct connection with the Elkhorn valley
and the rich commercial territory of
norlluvcstorn Nebraska. The time has
come when stops must Do taken to moot
the domund , Omaha is to-day as much
cut oil'from a region which she has a
right to supply and which she is able to
supply as against all competitors as it it
lay in another htato. The desire to sncnro
the long haul to Chicago incites the only
road which traverses tlio valley to operate
its line to our detriment. Every pound of
freight which in shipped from Omaha of
points on the Northwestern in Nebraska
is carried thirty miles out of its way and
subjected to delays which do much to oil-
set our natural advantage of location.
When the Omaha & Northwestern
scheme was under discussion the North
western road canio forward with prom
ises of a more direct connection. Sur
veys were made for a line to Kcnnard to
join the main system nt that point. Wo
were told that the Northwestern was prepared -
pared to meet ovcry require
ment of the case and to furnish
a short line from Oniahn up the Elk-
horn. As soon as Iho proposed
branch of the Missouri Pacific was
dropped the Northwestern project died
witli it. Our oitizciiK have no desire to
come into conlliet with the Northwestern
managers. They beliovp Unit that rail
road should see Hint the mutual advan
tage of Omaha and Itself requires direct
( ommtinlc.itlon between this city and Hie
territory to the north , If the Northwest
ern will give it , another railroad at ' pres
ent can very well bo dispensed'with. .
A few miles of road built from Omaha
and making connoqtton with the Elkhorn -
horn Valley road at a point between Kcn
nard anil Seribncr would solve the prob
lem sulllclontly for wo&ont needs.
It would hold the field for thu railroad
companies and give our people aij outlet
for their trade ,
If the managers of the Northwestern
road cannot meet the reasonable de
mands of a city of 80,000 inhabitants for
direct rail connection with the Elkhorn
Valley , then another corporation must
be formed which will , Omaha is largo
enough and wealthy enough to start ( ho
ball rolling. It can bo done.
HAIIDLY a day passes without rein
forcing the colony of American criminals
sojourning in Canada , and contrary to
tlio general idea the fact is said to bo a
source of constant reassurance to the
Canadian hotel keepers , who find those
guests the most liberal among their
patrons. Wednesday Is credited with
two additions to the colony whoso dopar

bo observed that the St. Paul directory ,
was not issued until after that of Minne

It is that St. Paul's directory beats
that of Minneapolis by a few nninea.
Ax now Now York is howling about
Hie activity of the gas meter. The price
of gas was reduced by legislative ennet-
mcnt to sfl.5 per 1,000 feet , and for a
while tlio people were happy. Hut now
that the 1st of July gas bills are coming
in , they urn ditx.ed. distracted , convulsed ,
mad. Tito meters have run so fast as to
more than counteract the reduction in
price. At the Grand Central hotel they
wore charged for 21,000 feet more of gas
during Juno than duringthcsamo month
last year , when business was much heav
ier. The demand for the old prices and
less meter work is almost universal.
AIiss CI.KVEI.AND intends lo start out
upon her editorial career with simplicity ,
and gives timely utterance that she will
ignore the great critics altogether. This
is perhaps an entirely commendable de
termination , but it is not quite certain
that it would be a good thing for Literary
/ , < fc , or just what the shrewd pub
lisher of that periodical desires , if the
great critics should retaliate by ignoring
Miss Cleveland. Still , wo have no doubt
that simplicity is the quality which Miss
Cleveland might practice in her now re
lation , particularly if she hopes lor any
largo clientele , as apparently she does ,
among her own sex.
