Tim report that Chicago absorbeu Illwaukoo during the annexation fovcr is tr'uo , but it was bottled. IT LOOKS as though that by the time snow flics the park commission will lg ready to beautify JolTorsoii square by thu-addition of a few settees. ' TllK announcement from Washington that the political mill will bo given another turn this week , will increase the anxiety of the ollieoscoUor. LIKI : a smouldering bluzo the war bo- twpou the rival street car companies starts out , afresh. But wo suspect that this ( s only the prelude to a consolida tion. Tin : practice of smashing railroad agreements-with bombs should be do- precatcd. To rcquiro managers to wear coats-of-mail this simmering weather is refined cruelty boiled down. CONTINUOUS wet weather has seri ously injured growing corn in Illinois , and a failure of the crop is feared. Ne braska will cheerfully makes up the de ficit. The outlook in this state is the moat promising in years. BUN BUTI/EU has decided to treat Admiral Porter hereafter with silent contempt , while Admiral Porter has announced that ho will have nothing more to say concerning General Butler. The country will fool grat-jful. THK now boundaries of Chicago are Indiana on the south , Wisconsin on the north , Lake Michigan on the east and St. Louis on the west. Illinois is practically wiped out of the map. It would not bo surprising if Chicago swallowed Mis souri and St. Louis before 1000. JrIT takes thirty-flvo thousand bar rels of cement to cover ono hundred and eighty-six thousand square yards of con crete foundation and but twenty-throo thousand barrels wore used , how much will trio bondsmen of certain cedar Woclc paving contractors bo called upon to forfeit to the city ? TllK Union Pacific protests against the returns of the recent tax assessors on its property as being too higli. That surprises no ono. The Union Pacific is Buffering from a chr.onic complaint qf tax-shirking and would object wore its millions of property in this county as- Bessod but ono dollar. FiiKDKitiCK L. A31US * has 'again demonstrated his faith in Omaha realty by purchasing another largo tract of business property , and pro- cocding nt once to the erection of a mammoth building in the wholesale district. And still Omaha capitalists are holding on to their money bags waiting for something to turn up. CojiPOltATj TANNHK deserves a warm welcome from the old soldiers of Ne braska. A companion on the battle field , a staunch advocate of their inter ests on the forum , and a strong friend in ollico , ho has carnod their regard , and they should testify their esteem by I making Ins-visit to the state a round of enthusiastic receptions. K month of Juno lias closed under more than ordinary favorable conditions alTooting business. . Reports from Chicago cage and other western points nro es pecially encouraging , as the volume of trade is somewhat larger than usual at this season , A buoyant fooling consequently quently prevails through the country and the pros poets are bright for a largo fall trado. THU damage done to the Pennsyl vania railroad by thoConomaugh / it was ofHcUillystated would notoxcood ono and throe-quarter million of dollars. There nro few railroads in the country which could suotain this unexpected loss without seriously crippling their resources. But the Pennsylvania does not propose to allow this little accident torufllo aalnplo hair of its head , but .will call upon the lines utTcctotl to pay this gigantic amount out ot surplus earnings. The current not revenues and dividends will therefore not bo cur tailed in any way , o.xcopt by such losses tin were sustained through thu inter rupted t radio. ftTSS NEW FISCAL YEAIt. The govornmsnV now fiscal year begins - gins to-day , and tlio appropriations of the last session o ( congress , amounting to nearly four hundred million dollars , become available ; The dlsbursomonts from thonational : treasury for July arb usually larger than for any ether month of the year , nnd they are very sure to bo so fof the present month. For ono thing there will bo an extraordinary demand upon the pension appropriation to tnko up the vouchers issued in excess - cess of lost year'i } appropriation. In some other dlroctlonstivlso , the treasury will pay out mora than it is usu ally called upon to\lo in July , nnd per haps only in the casa of the interest on the public debt will it disburse loss than has boon the rule. The beginning of a fiscal ycnv necessitates u certain amount of readjustment to now condi tions. There must bo a balancing of old books and now accounts opened , nnd whllo the trcagury system under which all this is done is very nearly perfect , the force of the department will have a decidedly busy time for a few days , per forming the vast amount of routine work which the .change imposes upon it. There is some interest fn finan cial circles regarding the question whether the incoming of the now tlscal year will bring about any change in the policy ot the treasury , which thus far under the present administration has been kept very close to the lines of its predecessor. Will there bo any do- narturu in the matter of bond purchases and in that of allowing n , considerable amount qf public money to remain on deposit with thrf banks ? The secretary (5f the treasury has during the past four months declined to permit the boiul- holdorsio dictate the price which the government should nay for bonds. Will ho continue in this course , or having the necessity before him of pro viding for the sinking fund , which will require the purchase of bonds to the amount of about forty-fivo million dollars lars , will ho doom It expedient to pay bettor prices until this amount is secured - cured ? The importance of the action of the secretary in this matter is in the questi6n whether the sum to bo thus drawn from the treasury shall bo dis tributed ever many months or bo largely or wholly disbursed in tlmo to moot the increased currency require ments of the fall business , and undoubt edly this consideration will have weight in determining tho. policy of thp treasury. So far as the deposits with , thu banks are concerned , it is not believed that those will be sud denly disturbed.- They have been somewhat - what > roduccd ; under the present ad ministration , and it is notprobublo that their withdrawal will bo moro rapid than it has boon. It is impossible to predict with any degree of certainty whether the autumn demand for money will bo materially , If at all , greater than last year , and if it should not bo much increased , the re sources of the nioiioy market will bo suf ficient to moot it without extraordinary assistance from the treasury. There has boon a contraction of the circula tion during the past two months , but it is still moro than twenty millions in excess ol this date last year and muoh greater than it has been at ether periods of marlcqd prosperity. The general feeling in financial circles ap pears to bo ono of confidence that the policy of the treasury will be guided by what shall appear to bo the financial needs of the country and wijl bo such as to prevent any serious disturbance of the money market resulting from the locking up of money needed in the channels of business. - PUSHING FOK bTATETIOOD. The people of Idaho are , determined tp make a strenuous effort to secure statehood with the least possible dolay. A constitutional convention will bo held.on the fourth instant , although there is no congressional authority for it , and tha next congress will bo promptly besieged to make provision for atlniitting the territory to state hood. In reply to the statements that the territory does not contain the con ditions necessary to become a state , the advocates of admission claim u popula tion of ono hundred and twenty- live thousand , a property valua tion of sixty million dollars , with a railway mileage of one thousand miles , nearly four hun dred schools , and a debt amounting to but two hundred thousand dollars. The fact is also sot forth that within a few years Idaho has advanced from the ninth to the fifth place in the produc tion of bullion , contributing to the wealth of the country gold and silver to the value of ono hundred and twenty million dollars , besides iron , copper and ether motalfl. AU this is certainly very muoh in Idaho's favor , but the future growth of the territory 19 largely dependent upon the development - volopmont of its agricultural resources by moans of irrigation , and until this is accomplished the appeal of her people for statehood is likely to encounter op position , The oxpurlence with Nevada must prove discouraging to the efforts of thu people of Idaho until that terri tory has attained the conditions for successful agriculture which will insure - sure a steady increase of population , Mineral resources alone , however ox- tonslvo , will not proyido what is neces sary to maintain a state government , and except in these Idaho is very de ficient. The ambition and enterprise of her people are to bo commended , but they are fostering a hope that is likely to bo long deferred. ONE hardly knows whether to talco the news seriously or not that emanntoo from London to the otTnct that syndi cates are bolng formed in England for the purpose of buying up the principal mercantile and manufacturing interests in the loading cities of this country. While it "may bo true that tin English company lias succeeded In obtaining control of seine of the great brewing establishments in America , it is u quos- , tlon whether these operations nro to bo extended in the ubwbtlon of the retail dry goods trade ns wo 11. There seems no particular reason why the breweries and the dry goods stores should osptt- oiully bo singled out for purchase in preference to distilleries , o'othing ' Rtorus or ether mercantile lines of trade unless it bo the deliberate plan of the English to como ever hero with oceans of money and buy us out. Let the 'no tion , moreover , once got abroad that the British are willing to pay spot cosh fern n woll-ostablishod paying morcnn- tllo establishment , and there is little question that our shrewd business mon will not bo the losers by the sale of their stock , stand and good will. Moreover , what is the American ntoro keeper to do when his pockets will bo filled with British gold ? Mon who have spent their lives in mercantile pursuits will not bo apt to lay down their arms and lot the English 'carry on the business of this country. Should such an extraordinary event really take place , it is moro than likely that the American merchant would , start up his ' particular line ot business poxt door to his English competitor nnd win back his trado. The reports that the Eng lish intend to buy up the American dry goods business must therefore bo taken with n big grain of salt when there nro so many inviting opportunities for in vestment through , the length ' nnd brcndtli ot this country without enc - c roach limit upon the old established fields ot trndo. MASSACHUSETTS passed n ballot re form law which will rpcoivo its first practical test at the state election this year. The friends of the measure have found it necessary to form a ballot re form league , whoso business it will bo to see that the provisions of the nut shall bo faithfully carried out to the letter , nnd to keep the wicked politicians and election oDlcors from tampering with the voters. Now all this may bo emi nently proper and effective. But it gees to prove that the now tangled bal lot law is not self-acting and infallible , but needs a "league" to keep its eye fixed on the complicated machinery lest a cog should slip and smash things generally. The truth is , however , if the same precautions were taken under our long established election laws there would bo no necessity of going off to Australia to adopt its Impracti cable scheme. If every time an elec tion takes place in Massachusetts under- the now fanglod system , it bo neces sary for "leagues" to protect the sacredness - ness of the ballot box , the very purpose for which the now law was intended will be defeated and Massachusetts will have gained nothing In purifying elec tion methods by its expensive and com plicated election machinery. Till- : blow recently administered to the cotton seed oil trust by the civil dis trict court at Now Orleans may not very seriously damage that monopoly , ainco it does no businnss.in Louisiana , but none the loss the decision against the trust is important as demonstrating the power of the courts nnd the adequacy of legal protection against public mon opoly. It is a valuable addition to judi cial opinions that an ingenious attempt to cvado responsibility by departing from the recognized legal forms , and assuming corporate powers without cor porate organization , cannot succeed. It reasserts the principle that the courts have authority to interfere whore dan gerous powers have boon assumed and the attempt made to suppress competi tion and evade accountability regard less of the interests of the public. This result of two or three years' litigation is altogether satisfactory to the enemies of trust monopoly. THE testimony of John F. Carll , a well known specialist who has made petroleum development in this country a careful study , is to the effect that the supply will soon bo unequal to the de mand. The country is using up the stored accumulations of ages quickly and wnstofully , and unless now fields are discovered the drain will in a com paratively short tlmo exhaust Pennsyl vania's oil bods. Happily the virgin petroleum fields ot Wyoming and Colorado rado will soon bo able to supply any shortage that may arise , and in time will supplant Pennsylvania as the great oil producing region. The development of great industries is awaiting the open ing of these seemingly inexhaustible petroleum mines in the heart of the llocky mountains , and the day will boone ono of great promise to the entire west. MONTANA seems destined to bo ono of the great states of the union in wealth and population. According to the report of Mr. Anderson , agent of the agricultural department , the level lands of northern and eastern Montana are not surpassed for wheat growing1 by the famous wheat lands of Minnesota and Dakota , and the progress of wheat cultivation is very rapid. Invostfga- tion shows the arid region of the terri tory to bo much loss than has boon sup posed , and what there is it ia believed can easily bo reclaimed. It is a splendid territory both in nroa and resources , and must inevitably become the homo of a very largo aad prosperous popula tion. THU death of Maria Mitchell removes ono of the most unique characters in the educational world. For moro than fifty years she was identified as a load ing ustroiiomifit , and mndo her name famous in 1817 by the discovery of the great comet of that year. For nearly a quarter of a century Maria Mitchell occupied the high post of professor of astronomy at Vassalcollogojivhore she distinguished herself in hor'lifo work. Her memory will long bo cherished not alone by Vnssar college , but by the great scientists of the ago as a woman of rare acquirements and of a high in tellect. THK condition of tlio miners at Braid- wood , 111. , is a startling exhibition of the power and greed of monopolies. The mon nnd their families are aqtually being starved into submission , and the potty tyrants in charge of the mines have endeavored to suppress the truth to prevent outside aid. Pcoplo who nro shocked by accounts of tha cruelties practiced in the Siberian' iq'inos need not go far from homo for a parallel. THE Rev. Spurgcon , son ot the noted London preacher , recently assorted that the chief weakness of American character was "money , money , money all grasping for money. " In view of the unxioty of English syndicates to monopolize our mines , railroads , brow- erics , nnd lastj but hot least , our dry goods tradOi Sir. Spunrcon's remarks have n molaH\o \ sound.

No carofnl observer of the course of llnan- clal discussion in Europe can doubt that pub lic sentiment is forming rapidly iu England , Germany and Franco In favor of nn Interna tional agreement for the manitcnnnco of n bimetallic monetary standard. The events that have fallowed the publication of the re port of the British currency commission and the expressions which It has called forth have made moro apparent thnn over before the widespread popular recognition of the importance of international co-operation in the maintenance of n double standard. At the same time current developments innko it evident that the forces which will' bring about an international agreement must over come miiiiy obstacles niul work gradually to Its consummation. Nothing is plainer than that Germany , however much In favor of n double standard , will await the action of England , and that the adoption of an effeo- tivo international agreement depends on the British government. Ills to the English situation , then , that eyes are turned , and there wo Und the bimetallic movement gainIng - Ing in force and recognized ns a political power that will sooner or later assort itself. But wo Und also that the British government Is content to pursue a waiting p'ollcy and to bo forced Into an International bimetallic agreement rather than take the initiative. Within the present month there have been a number of significant developments ; public meetings , conferences with representatives of the government , and a debate in parlia ment ; but all have pointed tb the same con clusion , that tlio attitude ofutho British gov ernment Is conservative : Unit tt3""ropresontu- tlvcs are willing to hoW back , to encourage other nations In the use of silver , and tontick to the single gold standard until the force of circumstances and an overwhelming decluin- tion of the will of the people compel co-opor- tion in an international bimetallic movement. There is little indication of doubt that this will be the outcome , but there is no hint of n purpose on the part of the British govern ment to take any step that will hasten this consummation. J'wo conclusions nro clearly pointed out for the guidance of the United States. First , that for the present nothing i.s to bo expucted from International co-opera tion. Second , that wo can commit no greater folly than to interpose now obstacles to the accomplishment ot this desirable solution , or to decrease our owu influence in bringing it about. Ono other fact of decided import ance to us is inndo clear , and that Is that England recognizes that by suspending her silver coinage we could force an International agreement for the maintenance of a double monetary standard. The susp.uusion of our compulsory and useless cdinngc is our true policy ; but this being out of the question , members of the now congress and represen tatives of the now administration must per ceive that the tendency of financial develop ments throughout the world is to increase our obligation to treat currency questions with extreme caution , and to protect our 5800- 000,000 of silver circulation und maintain its gold value until an international agreement is reached. It must bo apparent to all stu dents of the financial situation at homo nnd abroad that only by conservative and cau tious measures can wo cast our inlluoiico in favor of un international monetary agree ment , whllo by concession to the demands of the silver men wo can.onl.vInvite financial disturbance and disaster nnd mterposo ob stacles to n solution so manifestly to our in terest.

CLEVELAND'S DAILY LIFE. Busy Ollltio Hour * Followed lly Evcn- liif * at Home. Ex-President Cleveland has uuulo two public addresses since he enino to Now York on March 7 one nt tlio centen nial banquet and ono sit the Fifth Avo- nuu hotel dinner hist night , says tlio New York Commercial Advertiser. Both addresses wore rendered neces sary ) > y circumstances , and oven the re publican organs do not assert that ho has been trying to push his wtiy to an other term by using his eloquence , on the people. But there have boon many stories about deep underhand political work , < which , it is alleged , Mr. Cleveland is engaged in. It has been said that ho intends to come forth as the lolidor of the county democracy , build up a ma chine in this city anil state-Tind insure , himself of the New York delegation to the next national convention. 1 The ex-president's daily life , however - ever , gives no indications of the polit ical schemer. In fact , there is probably not n mnn in this city of any political ; prominence who has less to do with pol itics and politicians. Mr. Cleveland has retired to real private life , not the politician's "private life , " which means a state of expectant waiting for some thing to turn up. No'onc has heard of any conference at the Victoria hotel. Prominent mon call there sometimes , but their visits are purely social. Most of the visitors arc ladies however , who como to carry olT Mrs. Cleveland to dinner or ton. Reporters are never soon about the corridors riders of the hotel looking for gossip as Mr. Cleveland's time while ut his ' ' apartments ia given up to chatting'with friends or looking through books Hi his llttlo library. Nor is there a political atmosphere about his ofJIeo In William street. Probably not half ft dozen local politicians have penetrated to the ollloo ainco the first day ho wont thcro , when ex-Mayor Grace. ox-Secretary Whit ney , John D. CrimmiiiB and a few other personal friends showed him the way up to Bangs , Stetson , Tracoy McVoagh'a otllccH and gave him a sort of house warming. It appears that Mr. Cleveland ie too busy to allow his olllco to become a _ lounging place for political goasipors. 1 Ho has had his hands more than full of * work since ho came to town. After his brief Florida trip ho told Mr. Stetson that ho was going to settle down lohurd wonc till summer , and ho has done so. In the last month he has notonco failed to reach his otllce before 11 o'clock. Ho frequently appears at 05 : ' ( ) or 10 o'cloclc. After greeting his associates ho gooH quietly to his olllco , which is the most bocluded of the IInil's sulta , and noth ing more is hen I'd of him till about 1 o'clock , when ho takes luncheon. Then ho resumes work , seldom quitting be fore ' 1:30 : o'clock. Business is said to have increased largely sinoo ho joined the Hrm , and the extra work fall ou him. 'Ilin Cuban Kirrlly'H Unlit. A most intcroHting'oxporlmont ' has re cently boon made in taking n photo graph by the Ii'ht { , of tlio Cuban liro- lly , says the Scientific American. The species of this insect belonging to the United States IH well known , but its light-producing powers are very feeble compared with these of its rolativostho lantern lliesorcucuyoa , of Cuba. Brazil and Mexico. It is haid that persons traveling'by night in the tropical forest are nccus. Lomod to place those llro-beotlcH on their boats to light the way , and that Cub.ia ladies mount the cuuuyos ns gems for thuir hair and clothing. A living specimen of these tropical in- soots was recently presented to the Bridgeport Scientific society. It Ie ibout an inch and a half long , nnd board upon oaeii aldo of its body oval spots re sembling oyos. in the dark these spots omit n greenish light , resembling that of tiny electric lumps in full glow. If the cucuyo is placed on a watoh dial its light will onnblo ono to toll the Llmo of night , and It also dearly illum inates a small printed pugo. Its radiance teems to bo in a measure under the control of the willfor when a gas jot is rapidly turnea on and off the insect , whether from rivalry or eomo other motlvo , is Hiiro to do his host. After various trials of the insect's power the oxpurirnant of photograph ing by its light was successively curried out. out.A copy ol the family portrait wa made , the insect bolng liold within an inch of the original , and in suoh a way that the rays foil perpendicularly on " the nogativo. The time of "exposure to buglight was about thirty seconds ,
