lean candidates. Never before has sec

No more trenchant blow has beoi
btruck by Mr. Blaine in the present
canvass than he delivered at Now AI
bany , Ind. , last Monday , in coinmentin ;
on the speech of Secretary Fairchild n
Now York , in which the secretary ex
plained and defended the treasur ;
policy of loaning a largo amount of tin
surplus to the national banks , rathe
than use it in the purchase of bonds
\Vo have aKo referred at some longtl
to the position taken by tlso secretary
of the treasury , by way of show
ing that the policy defended wa
in hostility to the views of thi
president as expressed in a mes
sage to congress and that its adoptiot
was undoubtedly in pursuance of a deliberate
liberate plan of the administration foi
"nursing the surplus , " but it will do in
harm to recur to the matter in order tc
note some of Mr. Blaine's incisive ob
servations upon it.
Mr. Blaine declared that Secretary
Fail-child did not frankly and manfull ;
confront the issue. He failed to oxplait
to the people how the banks could alTori
to buy government bonds when thegov
eminent Itself could not afford to buj
them. "If it was an advantageous pro
cecding , " said Mr. Blaine , "for thosi
banks to invest sixty million dollars ii
government bonds , why was i
not still more advantageous fo
the government to do it ? " am
wo do not doubt that the question wil
remain unanswered. It must be cvjdoni
to the merest tyro in finance that if tin
banks could make two and one-half poi
cent upon the purchase of govcrnmen
four per cent bonds the treasury couli
have made as much , and that if it hai
done so the debt of the governmon
would to-day bo sixty million dollar
less than it is. The surplus , also , woult
bo loss by this amount , the money beiiif
in the hands of the people , instead of n
the banks. The example of two demo
eratic secretaries of the treasury
Guthrie and Cobb , whoso ability wa
certainly equal to that of any member
ber of the present admini&tration
in buying bonds not duo on tin
ground that they were worth ai
much to the national treasury as to anj
purchaser in Wall street , will hardly bi
regarded by any intelligent democrat a
unworthy of consideration.
But there was no political capital t <
bo made by the administrationsof 1'ierc
or Buchanan in nursing a surplus , whil
the present administration believe
there was and proceeded accordingly
The democratic party had got into powe
by the help of the false charge that th
republican party had allowed four hun
dred million dollars of idle money t
accumulate in the treasury , and \\he
it was found that there was n
surolub to speak of it became th
plan of the administration to pei
mit an accumulation for future politic.
service. Immediately the surplus bega
to pile up and every opportunity ha
since been given it to grow , in ordo
that the fact might be of service in prc
moling the fiscal policy of the dome
eratic party and assisting it to retai
control of the executive branch of th
government.
But the bchemo has been exposed
and the intelligent people of the countr
fully understand its. motive. Tno fae
that for a year past favored banks hav
been getting the profit from botweo
fifty and sixty million dollars of th
public money cannot bo justified by an
such shallow defense as that ol
crod by Secretary Fairchild , whic
Mr. Blaine justly charactci
i/ed as positively amusing. Nc
will anybody be deceived by the latci
pretense of treasury olllolals that tin
surplus revenues for the current llbc.i
year will largely exceed ono hundre
million dollars. The extravagance (
the democratic house of representative
has made any such result impossibU
and no amount of juggling with figure
can alter the fact. As campaign capl
tal for the democracy the surplus biif
bear has been pretty thoroughly dii
posed of.
INFLUCXCE OF THE SUQAIt 'I'ltUS'i
When Mr. Mills broadly denied th
charge that the great sugar trust wr
instrumental in having the sugar dut
changed in the house tariff bill after I
was reported , and also that the pros !
dent of the trust was never before th
wnya and means committee , ho wr
either ignorant of the facts , in whic
case ho should have kept silent , or ho
made a deliberate missUttomcnt. It
was notorious moro than three months
ago that Mr. Iluvcmeyer , the head
of the sugar tru t , hod been in personal
communication with members of the
ways and means rommlttoonnd the fact
was widely commented on when the
amendment of the sugar dutluH was
mado. But the means of convicting
Mr. Mills are not confined to newspaper
statements. They are of olllcial record ,
and consist of acknowledgements made
by a member of the ways and means
committee , Mr. Breckenrldgo of Ar
kansas , on the floor of the hotis-c. When
a member from Maryland charged that
the ways and means committee had
given a hearing to the sugar trust
while denying the same privilege to
many important American indus
tries , Mr. Breckenrldgo at first
met the charge evasively , but
was finally forced to admit
that the trust president and attorney
had had a conference with hinibolf and
other members of the ways and means
committee In the room of the commit
tee , but ho sought to weaken the effect
of the admission by saying that it was
was only an "informal talk. " Never
theless , it accomplished its object ol
changing the sugar duty agreeably to
the wishes of Mr. Havomeyer.
Mr. Mills was present in the house
when the Maryland member made the
charge , and the Arkansas member , in
effect , admitted it to be correct , so that
ho cannot plead ignorance in defense ol
his denial. It is a clear case of pre
varication , and as such puts Mr.
Mills in a very unenviable situa
tion before the country. The change
which Havemoyor was instrumental in
securing in the sugar schedule would
be worth to the trust six million dollars
a year. The democratic party has pro-
fussed great hostility to the trubts , but
in all the long sessions of congress iU
representatives have taken not one
practical step against these combina
tions. A bcore or moro of anti-trust bills
have been introduced in the house onlj
to bo buried in committee. Not only
this , but the loaders of the party in the
house are clearly convicted of having
favored the trust that is now exacting
moro tribute from the people
than any other ono of them ,
and which , in order to continue
this exaction has recently closed uj
several refineries and thrown upwards
of thirteen hundred people out of em
ployment. Is it not an insult to the in
telligence of the country for the demo
cratic party to prate about its hostility
to trusts ?

and which it is always Omalm'b pleasure

and guests recognized that the opening
of a now trade territory and a now mar

were , therefore prepared to take in the
situation thoroughly and to examine the

rive present and future advantage ,

THK grand ' annual encampment of
the Independent Order of Odd Fellowst
for the state of , Nebraska , now in ses
sion at Omaha , marks a red letter day
in the calendar of that worthy organi
sation. Wedded to the cardinal prin
ciples , friendship and chnrltv , the order
has devoted itself to the alleviation of
distress and the care of the widows and
orphans of its members. To all men
worthy of its membership it extends the
right hand of fellowship , and to the
work of humanity the order owes its
wonderful growth and influence , In
Nebraska the Odd Fellows have formed
a flourishing organization , gaining
strength and usefulness as the benefits
of the order become the moro widely
known.
MAYOR HEWITT'S independence and
outspoken frankness has made him a
thorn in the side of the administration.
Ho is not only opposed by Tammany but
his candidacy for re-election as mayor
of New York has found opposition
within his own camp. Amos J. Cummings -
mings refuses to accept a renomination
to congress from the county democracy
owing to its support of Mayor Hewitt.
This falls like a thunderclap from n
clear sky. It was bad enough to divide
the democrats of New York by alien
ating Tammany. But a split in Hewitt's
own wing of the party is destined tc
complicate the situation all the more ,
and insure the complete overthrow ol
democratic supremacy in the city and
state of New York at the coming elec
tion.
THK Argentine Republic , from latest
advices , has caught the speculative
fever. Under the stimulus of large
shipments of gold from Europe , the pro
ceeds of loans , the government has in
augurated a largo amount of public
works and internal improvements. But
aside from this artificial prosperity , the
country has legitimate reasons for busi
ness activity. Its crops and its cattle are
in prime condition , which insure to that
country a largo export trade. The
United States could well cultivate the
friendship of the Argentine Republic
with profit to both countries.
IT is sincerely to bo hoped that the
air men in Chicago will bo satisfied
with the concessions made by Mr ,
Yorkes and not give the enemies ot
labor any advantage by showing a bad
spirit. George Schilling , who was
libeled by Mr. Yerkos as an anarchist ,
is using all his influence over the men
to got them to accept the view put for
ward by the superintendent as to the
meaning of the terms offered by Mr.
Yerkes. It is a material gain , and tc
insist that the wording of the conces
sion entitles them to moro is litigious
and grasping.
THE opening of the now Armour-Cud-
ahy beef packing establishment at
South Omaha adds another important

the latter are entirely wonting in such ad

"LONG JOHN'S" lilVK.
Some of the Incidents of VVont-
wortli'H Stirring Career.
Crticnoo , Oct. IT. [ Special Telegram to
Tnu Bisu.l "Long John" Wentworth , who
died hero yesterday , was perhaps the best
known man in Chicago. Hccamn to Chicago
in 18I'6 ' from Now Hampshire , where ho wua
born twenty-ono years before. Soon after
his arrival he bought the Chicago Democrat.
He did Job printing in connection with tha
publication of the paper , and when Stephen
A. Douglas came to town John Wentworth
printed his hand bills.
"Wo didn't have enough men to do the
work , " said Mr. Wentworth , "and I worked
the hand press while Douglas inked the
roller. "
John Wentworth went to Harvard to finish
his law schooling , aim while ho was away a
movement in favor of sending him to Wash
ington was started. Ho came bauk ia 1841 ,
and in 1811) was elected to sit In congress.
Ho was re-elected In Ib44 , 184(1 (
and 1818. There was some oppo
sition to Mr. Wentworth in 1850 ,
nnd with his usual sagacity he declined to
run. In 1852 he was selected from n nrw
district nnd ho went to congress again.
Trouble had grown between him and Ste
phen A. Douglas , due to a feeling of rivalry ,
and this term Mr. Wentworth was in opposi
tion to the "LHtlo fiiant. " His trouble with
Douglas probably led him to Join hands with
Abraham Lincoln nnd others In thu forma
tion of the republican party. Ho fought the
Kansas-Nebraska bill and others of Douglas'
measures , and ho camu out of congress to
tlnd that the Douglas people were sharpen
ing their knives for him. His political craft
told him this and ho stayed out of the race ,
declining n nomination offered him by his
personal following , nnd with the rise of the
republican party ho changed his politics.
Ho was elected mayor of the town in IS.
and again in 1800 His administration of the
city was ono of the most notable and charac
teristic portions of his caieer. Ho seemed to
mfnso some of the brUtlmg pioneer spirit
into the veins of the town , which civiliza
tion now appeared to bo making slug
gish. He built the llrst lire engine ,
named it the "Long John , " und
appalled the citizens with it. He received
thu prince of Wales , then a .slander lad of
twenty , who was making a tour of the coun
try under the guidance of the auko of New
castle. It was u common sight in those days
to sec the boy trotting around town beside
the tremendous form of the big mavor , who ,
ut every block , waded through the muddy
streets , dragging the young prince after him
to introduce to some uiti/un und constituent
from the Tenth ward. Possibly ho learned
his tusto for rye whisky from those excur
sions with Chicago'b honest mayor.
"Mr Wontwoith , " ho said in parting , "I
have enjoyed my visit to Chicago immensely ,
and I would lilto to return the luvor. "
"Nevermind , " said Mr. Wentworth , "wo
treat everybody that way out west. "
The prince of Wales sent to Hon John
Wentworth , a month or two later , two line
Southdown bucks , whose descendants are
now on his farm.
His later years had been i assed in a quiet
way , strongly unlike thu turbulence that
marked the llrst of his career. Most of the
time he was in his room ut the Sherman
house , seeing few persons , but busi with his
books and papers.
Mr. Wontworth's wealth is hard to esti
mate , because of his proverbial closeness of
mouth regarding money aflairs. Old timers
who know much of his property and had
watched him building it say ho leaves at
least f-1,01'0,000 or $5,000,000 , nml possibly
twice that much. His farm nt Summit is 01113
of the finest In the state and Its nearness to
the city makes its value almost fabu
lous. Besides this Mr Wentworth owns
much down-town property. Until the mid
dle of the seventies ho had sixty acres be
tween Thirty-first und Thlrjninth streets
and Wentworth nnd Michigan avenues. He
subdivided this nnd sold much of it , but much
of it also ho kept , and it U now one of the
most populous and valuable parts of thu
town. The great part of the estate probably
goes to Koxanua Wentworth , his only child.

Loxnox , Oct. 17. [ Now York Mall and
Kxpross Cable Special to THE BEE. ] The
confiscation of Morull Mackenzie's book In
Berlin has inflicted a heavy loss on the retail
book-sellers. This was caused by the astute
ness of the publisher , who loses nothing. In
anticipation of probable difficulty with the
police , he was not content to have his re
ceipts depend upon thu sales , but bargained
for prepayment In cash on all copies deliv
ered to dealers. The Issue De un very early
In the day , with the Idea of getting the cdl-
tlou In circulation before it could be Inter
cepted. Hut the police showed the grontest
activity in watching for the books und pounc
ing upon them. They soliod volume * even

by 11 o'clock In the tuomlng not n copy wa

The Nerd Doutsoho Gatottc explains , an
behalf of the covernmcut , that the prohibi
tion of the work Is due to Hn containing
treasonable niattrr. which could not bet per
mitted to ho published on ( .iermnn soil In
fact , the Muhthelm tribunal ordered tha con.
llsuallonof the volumes ou that giotind. lint
it Is moro generally and , no doubl , more truly
bcllovod that the German government acted
on the principle ot retaliation against lr
Mackenzie to punish him for preventing
English publishers issuing n translation of
the account of Noble I'riodcricir * lllnes-i
compiled by the German physicians.
Only fpurof the Hritlsh newspapers pub
lish cxtiucts from Sir Moroll's book. Tno
others nlmplv announce Us publication. Tim
Vosslihoeitung abstains from comment
upon itbut warmly admits Mackenzie's broad
and faithful love for the Into illustrious
kaiser , who trusted him perfectly und
far ubovo thu German physicians
with the customary impartiality ami
keen insight Into men's natures
which distinguished ( the great Friiidarlch
all through his life. The Freltinig * thinks
that , apart from all questions in medical ills ,
iiuto , the book Is a valuable addition to our-
knowledge of the kaiser's life. It thlnki
that the suppression of tha work by the Herman -
man authorities is -a serious blunder at
short-sighted as Bismarck's brutal nltuct on
the memory of Germanv's really giout kaiser ,
as thu behavior ofWIlheluill toward his
father's ' inumorv , and as the entire conduct
of the government in relation to Fiodcilck't
truth-telling diary.
The controversy concerning the grievous
errors committed In tliu professional
treatment of the dying kronprinr
und kniscr king still continuo to
rage with unmitigated asperity , replies being
ing foithcoming tin the London press front

self , who has been forced to take up the bat
tie in this way. While largo extracts from
the ( lermnn physicians' report uio being
printed In English , the translation of thu
original German report is being published In
Berlin. The effect of all this confusion of
published records and argiinipnts must bo to
bewilder the public. It is altogether proba
ble that every reader will keep to his llrst
idea of the matter.
