A bill for an act extend ing the contract tor loading penitentiary and convict labor ; was road the third tlmo This bill having been road at lurge on thrco differ ent days , and the same with all its amend ments having been printed , the question being , Shall the bill passi" The roll was called and these voting in the negative were ; Mossrs Dunn , Puller , Hlg- cins of Cass , Keckloy , LININGEU , Majors , Sprick , Sterling , Wright 0. Mr Lininger offered the following explan ation ot lifs vote : "I am opposed to the bill : First The time is too long Second Jam opvosed to the contract sys tem " This explanation ought to satisfy the Worhl-lfaahl. Nextl - DECLINE OF HANK CmcOLATWN The annual report of the comptroller of the currency has its chief interest for the general public in the attention It calls to the steady deelino of the na tional bank circulation and the urgent necessity there is for legislation by congress to prevent the total axtinction of this circulation The mattar Is of very great Importance to the financial and business interests of the country , and indeed to tho'wholo people , and it is cause for regret that the comp troller , who is a practical banker , had no plan to recommend to congress for chocking the retirement of bank notes Various plana have boon from tlmo to time suggested , most of them wholly impracticable and inexpedient , and none without serious objections , und this divorslty of ideas appears to have led the comptroller to conclude that the national banking system would bo host protootod from the danger of delay by not considering nny propo sition lookiug to the * adoption of un- trlod measures Ho rooommonds a reduction of the tax on circula tion , whioh would give Bomo rollof to the bunks , but would hardly bo popular , und also favors reducing the interest on osiating bonds to two and one-quarter per cent by the prepayment to hold ors of the dittoi-onco between that rate and the four per cent interest bonds now carried , a debatable proposi tion to which the bondholders would be the chief objectors * > The shrinkage in the bank circula tion would have nlroady proved a seri ous matter to the business of the country if the loss hud not boon supplied by the issuance of b1- ! vor certificates , and there is still this socurlty agaiust danger in the im mediate future But it is a serious question whether It would bo oxpodlont to ropluco the outiro y.olurao of bank notes with ellvor cortifleutes It is highly probable that it this wore done the national systum would soon bo abandoned , and the banking of the country would bo carried on under 6talo laws The comptroller of the cur rency notes Hint there is a growing tendoiioy to incorporate under the etntutos ot the several states , duo to the fact that uo profits result to banks from * the deposit of bonds nnd the issue ot circulating notes This tondonoy will Increase It the , un favorable conditions now imposou by the government shall bo continued , with the probable result that within the next ton or fifteen years all the banks of the country will bo state insti tutions , ultimately issuing notes of variable value ns currency beyond the limits ot the states in which they are issued It need not bo nrguod that such a condition , with its demoralizing-pos sibilities , is to bo avoided if pos sible There is no better form ot paper curronoy than adequately secured bank notes , as nn experience of twenty flvo years with the national system has most conclusively demonstrated , nnd the quostlon which congress will bo called upon to determine is how this form of curronoy Bhnll bo maintained with absolute safety to the public nnd in Bufllclodt volume to satisfy the legitimate mate rcqulromonts of business The urgency with which this question is pressing for solution is Bhown by thd facts in the report of the comptroller of the currency TUB PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS The proceedings in the Pan-Amori- can congress thus far have shown that the foreign delegates generally are a very practical sot of mon , who take a serious view of the work they are on- gngod In Having graciously accepted the hospitality of the nation and on- joyoa it , they are not , therefore , the less disposed to vigilantly and carefully guard the interests they roprcsont They have not boon allured or flat tered ' "by our good treat ment of thom into actopting un- qucstioningly every proposition wo have had to present On the contrary they insist upon knowing the reason for all proposed measures , and of weigh ing thorn carefully and thoroughly , and having done so they show ontlro independence - pendonco in reaching a conclusion They appear not to bo the least bit over whelmed by our grcatnoss nnd Impor tance , but act with quite as much de liberation and freedom from restraint as if the United States were the least , instead of being the greatest among American nations Very likely this is somewhat disappointing to our own representa tives , and to certain interests which had hoped to bo ublo to commit the congress to cut-and-driod vlows and rocomtrrenda- tions There can bo no doubt that the idea had somewhat obtained that these , foreign delegates , after having seen the evidences of our prosperity and power , would bo easily influenced to uccopt al most anything the representatives of this country might propose Perhaps the assumption was not unnatural , but at any rate it has been shown to nave been ill-founded. Our represen tatives have learned that the foreign delegates are not only a highly Intelli gent body of men , but very independ ent , folly appeeiating their position and advantages , and while seriously desir ing to ofteet more favorable conditions for improving-commorcinl relations bo- weon American countries , vigilant and zealous in guarding the inter ests of their respoctlvo countries against any undue sacrifice - In ' a word , our visitors are thor oughly wide awake mon , and any at tempt to pull the wool ever their eyes is pretty sure to fail They are here for business , and very serious business , and until our representatives rcalizo this aud conform their course to the fact they cannot expect to accomplish any thing Plans to play the congress in behalf of special interests or policies will certainly fail Wo said when the congress assembled that the quostlon whether any thing practical would result from it depended upon the policy which should bo avowed on behalf of the United States The fact to bo kept In mind is , that wo are seeking the trade of the countries to the south of us , not they ours However much they may desire to cultivate oloser commer cial rotations with us wo cannot reason ably expect that under existing circum stances they will make any great sac rifices to that end They ciro'clenrly in a position to demand con cessions , and if they cannot obtain them from us they will from the countries of Europe which now enjoy the greater part of their trade Unless the United States shall propose a broad and generous commercial policy , under which the countries of South und Coutrnl America can bo assured of at least equal ad vantages with these they now have , wo sliall make little progress toward hotter - tor trade relations with these countries This is a purely practical , business matter - tor , as to which this country Is not in a position to dictate terms JOHN D. JJOKE AGAIN Mr John D. Howe avails himself of the privilege which Tius Bkk always has granted to all parties who dcslro to discuss publlo questions , and makes auothor appeal against the union depot and viaduct proposition In so doing Mr , Howe takes Tun Bee to task for refuting , and ridiculing his rant and fustian This is decidedly cool Mr Howe goes out of his way to Insin uate that Tim Bkis has been bought up by the Union Pacific , and casts all sorts of slurs upon its editor uiulor cover of an assumed name " IIo makes assertions that are notor iously false , and scoks to prejudice the publlo against this paper and urray thp community against the viaduct propos ition Does Mr Howe protoud that when Tub Buis grants the use of its colums to anybody it bars its editor from refuting falsehoods and resenting slanders ? What right had Mr nowe in the first place to impugn the motives nnd integrity of this paper ? Why Is ho of all other taxpayers in Omaha bo extremely - tromoly noisy about this viaduct , and depot project ? Wo begin to suspect that ho is play ing a part for the same corporation that retained him to play antimonopoly taxpayer during the session of the last legislature During that momorublo eossion Mr Howe ap peared to be terribly worked up ever the bill authorizing the consol idation of the cable road with the horse car Hues Ho circulated a printed address - dross to the legislature in which ho represented himself na n roprosontntlvo of tlij ( taxpaviijjr citizens ot Omaha who were In nrnH atnlnst the proposed con solidation 1 This frnntTanpponl might have been ofloctlvo htidn not lonkod out thnt Mr Howe was atthat , tlmo the paid nttor- noy ot the motor line , which was op posed to consolidation unless its system was included ih the deal Mr , Howd's ' efforts to raise a revolt ngalnst the viaduct and union depot proposition haabout the same disinter ested inspiration Mr Howe is ono of the nntl-mononoly attorneys of the con solidated Street car system That com pany demands thnt the Union Pacific nnd B. & M. railroads shall construct the viaduct with cahlo trackngo free ot cost to the street railway company , nnd asks that the city Bhnll give it the perpetual right-of-way along the viaduot without cost , although the city will bo at a continuous expense for maintaining and guarding the viaduot This is the milk in the Howe cocoanut While ho is howling himself hearse ever the Union Pacific monopoly and its shnmoful nogloot of Omaha in years past , his clients of the street railway are threatening the dofout ol the depot bonds if they are donicd vuluablo via duct privileges ' So much ns-to Mr Howo's disinter ested ranting But Mr Howe assorts that Titi2 Ben refuses to argue with him Tub Bine cannot hope to con vlnco Mr Howe Its position with regard to the propositions now pending has boon clearly doflnod It Is purely a question _ pf expediency If Omaha votes down the Union Pncifio proposition Thursday it will place a club In the hands of that corporation to dofoattho , brldgo bonds next Tuesday Omaha will doubtless continuo to grow slowly whether the propositions carry or not But in com mon with the heaviest taxpayers and pcoplo most interested in the prosperity of Omaha , The Bek believes that this city can better afford to pay n , millioa dollars Of bonus than to remain ns she now is with an embargo on her com merce that would retard her growth by at least ten thousand population for ovcry year that it continues TnE state canvass of the returns of the late election presents a few inter esting figures On a straight test of party strength the vote for regents shows that the republicans have a plu rality of twenty-iivo thousand ever the democrats Add to this latter vote the fifty-seven hundred cast by their allies , the prohibition ists , and there is loft a clear republican majority of ever nine teen thousand But while the repub lican candidates for regents carried the state by twonty-fivo thousand , Norvnl'a majority for suprorub judge shows un actual falling , off of six thousand ono hundred andv,8ixtv-sovon votes In view of the fact that there was no ap parent opposition to Judge Norval in ' the republican party , the iierures demon strate that th4rew was deep-seated dissat isfaction among the republican masses with the questionable raothods by which Judge Rces was retired from the bench The difficult tnsk of reorganizing the Santa Fo railroad system has boon suc cessfully acconinlished It was offeotod at great cost to the chief backers of the company They were compelled to pur chase the interests of the dissenters to obtain control Under the now order of things a blanket mortgage for ono hundred and fifty millions will be spread over the entire property and an annual saving of nearly four millions in interest has boon effected The re-rated oraployes of the pension office • whoso resignations have been nskod for are not dieposod to comply with the request Moreover , they in tend to make a ' fight for retention Some of them will undoubtedly have public sympathy with thom , on the ground that they simply accepted what these superior to thom in authority adjudged to rightfully belong to thom It is probable , however , that all who profited Dy ro-rating will finally have to leave the service , Kansas is Uelnfr IMucnted St Louis alobc-Democral.
