There is si suggestion for American
statesmen engaged in revising llio tarilT
in Iho proposals of the English chan
cellor of the exchequer contained in the
budget , recently presented in the house
of commons. Tlio revenues last year
provided a surplus of about slxtcenjnill-
ion dollars. There was u very largo in
crease from the duty on alcoholic bev
erages and beer , and tlio estimates for
the postal and telegraph services were
considerably exceeded. The fact
of u surplus was not ex
actly exceptional , though im-
iistiul , and HO largo un amount , in excess
of estimates has rarely been realized , Ft
indicates a prosperous year.
The suggestive point for iu in the
matter is that the people are to
get the bonelU in reduced charges
and taxes ) . The Indian and co
lonial postage rate is lo be cut
down ; the apprentice agreement stamp
is to be reduced and tlio stamp on health
insurance policies abolished ; the duty
on tea will bo reduced , and also
that on * currants ; the inhabited
house tax will bo lowered , and all worlc-
iug-cluss tenements under one hundred
dollars rental will bo exempted from the
hoiteo tax. It is true the opponents of
the government had nothing to say in ap
proval of these proposals , which they
regarded us mudo for electioneering pur
poses , but this really does not detract
from the fact that having a surplus -the
government , is disposed to relieve Iho
people of luxation where it can bo done
with the greatest bonelit to them ,
as it is clearly its duly to do.
It would bo an easy matter to
llnd extraordinary opportunities for the
expenditure of Iho small surplus and for
requiring a continuance of all the taxa
tion that lias produced it , but English
statesmanship is now exercised in lind-
ing ways to reduce the burdens on tlio
people , and it would seem to very good
purpose. If the people are madolo real
ize that they have been given relief , and
many of them will do so , they will not
trouble. Ihomsolves about the motive ,
and the government will deserve to protlt
by its action.
THK 1'OIXT O/1 DlS.WItKKMHXT.
The disagreement of the senate and
house silver committees on Iho single
point UH to the redemption of the notes
to bo Issued against silver bullion Is very
likely to postpone Until notion on u silver
bill. It was reasonably hoped that de
lay would bo avoided and views harmonized - '
ized by the' committees which have been
In conference , but as the situation now
stands the prospect Is that each house will
pass u bill , and that a prolonged con
ference will bo necessary to olTcct an ad
justment of conlllctlng views regarding
the redemption of silver bullion cortili-
cutos. It lias been suggested that there
is a feeling of jculousy between the two
houses on this subject , but what appears
more credible Is that while the house is
disposed to provide silver legislation
that accords with the vlowsof Secretary
Windoni the silver men In the senalo desire -
sire to ignore tlio administration in the
matter.
it will * bo remembered that the
plan proposed by the secretary of
the treasury , and which in
all its most essonliul features
has been uecopted by the coinage com-
mlltce of the house
, received hardly re
spectful consideration from the llnnnco
committee of the ueuuto. The latter
committee promptly reported u mciiburo
of its own widely dltTorlni ; in character
from the \ \ itiilom plan , and It still in-
slsts upon llio principal features of this
measure , Including the redemption of
silver bullion certificate * in lawful money
ut the option of the holder. The
secretary of the treasury Is under
stood to regard this proposition
u very risky , us it would coni ] > el him to
purchiiHo silver In excess of the produc
tion of American mines and subject him
lo the necessity of issuing ccrllllcatcfl
for Imported bullion which would liuvo
to bo redeemed in void at the option of
the holdor. It Is estimated that this
bill would require purchases of silver ,
exceeding the qnantlly now produced by
the mines of this country , less the
amount used in the arts , lo the amount
annually of from ten to llfteen
million dollars. This Would take
away from the country llfteen mil
lion dollars In gold * or In
products which would buy gold , and at
the same time there would bo created it
temporary demand for silver abroad
which the mines of the world would
hasten lo supply.
Hiieb u policy would result in deplet
ing the treasury of gold. It Is entirely
safe lo make the redemption of silver
rortlllcalcs In gold optional with
the government , us proposed in
the house bill , and it will
bo no injustice lo the owners
of silver who exchange their bullion for
treasury certificates lo require that this
currency shall bo redeemable In coined
silver. At any ralo they ought to bo
satisfied with gelling back for their cer
tificates what they gave for them. The
posilion of the house committee in this
contention Is unquestionably wise and
safe , and doubtless the senate silver
men will filially see , under the pressure
of public sentiment , the necessity of
acceding lo It.

Our northern neighbors are repre
sented to be greatly worried over tlio
Mclvlnley tariff bill , which they appre
hend would result in a financial anil in
dustrial crisis there. Tlio farmers and
grain dealers , it is reported , fearing that
an increase of duty oil barley would shut
llio present stock entirely out of the
American market , are rushing it to the
border with all haste , so as to dispose of
it or store it on tlio American side be
fore the turilT bill can pa.ss. Meantime
the discussion of retaliatory meas
ures on the one hand and plans of com
mercial union , reciprocity and annexa
tion as the.other , is giving the Canadian
people abundant material for attention
and controversy.
Among tlio measures of retaliation
which are receiving consideration is a
nroDOsed alien labor law. similar in char
acter to the law of this country. It will
probably be adopted , notwithstanding
the fact that it could liuvo no important
ell'ect for the reason that , the number of
Americans who seek employment in
i Canada at any point is very small. The
wisdom of adopting a policy of
this kind , which would amount simply
to showing the existence of a retali
atory spirit , is very questionable , and is
certainly not a good way of promoting
bettor relations between tho-two coun
tries. Another project said to be talked
of and which would bo most unwise , is
that of closing the Canadian waters and
islands of the St. Lawrence against
American visitors. Tlio great number
of A iiierieuus who sojourn at these islands
during the summer months leave u large
amount of money in the bauds of Cana
dian people , and tlio dominion govern
ment would inllict far more injury upon
its own citizens than upon Ameri
cans by excluding the latter from
these resorts. The proposal suggests
a very narrow idea of national policy
which it is not to bo presumed tlio intel
ligent sentiment in Canada will approve.
Another question which is receiving
public discussion is that of providing
some way to prevent or reduce the emi
gration of Canadians to the United
States , but tliis presents a problem which
the Dominion government will hardly
Hud it possible to solve. Until Canada
oilers bettor opportunities than at pros-
out for men of energy and enterprise ,
such men will go where there in a held
for them.
The questions of broader seppo , as reci
procity and commercial union , are
not being neglected , and there
are indications of a growth of
bontlmont in favor of an oll'ort on
the part of the Dominion government
looking lo the establishment of closer
Irade relations between the United
States and Canada. Our proposed hos
tile tarift'may contribute to this , and
should congress authorize negotiations
looking to the establishment of roci-
.prtK'ity or commercial union , in Iho event
of a proposal coming from the tyominion
government , there is very little doubt
that tlioro would bo a sulllclent pressure
from the Canadian people lo induce their
government to tnfco slops -for bringing
about this result. Hut just now llio
situation there is ono of many perplex
ities.
opponents of high liconsti point
to the number of illegal joints in the
large cities of I'enusylvanla as proof of
its failure. A more absurd argument
could not bo trumped up. Every transi
tion from low to high license has been
followed by a temporary struggle with
the lawless element. Philadelphia and
Pittsburg are simply going through the
experience of Omaha. When the Slocum
law was put into operation in this city ,
those who wore unable to put up .the"
cash resorted to various methods to
evade the law. Clubs and "speak
easies" were numerous , but they were
short-lived. The police and Iho
courts soon drove them out of
oxibtoneo , and today Omaha can
boast of one of the most olTcc-
llvo ami orderly systems of saloon regu
lation in the country. It Is incompar
ably superior to the free dramshops In
vogue in prohibition htutes , where town
councils arc forced to enact bogus laws
to secure a revenue from the trullie. It
is only necessary to compare the licensed
liquor tralllc In Omaha with Iho lawless
liquor IrulHo in Iowa. High license sig-
nltles legal restriction and limitation of
saloons ; prohibition means high taxes ,
free whisky , and an unlimited number
of dives. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

BKI : . ] The reformers In the city council will
spring u new scheme on the * aldermen tomor
row nlghl , if the present arrangements are
consummated. At present Llneoln's police
force eon.slsts of but sovoutoen men all told ,
nnil It is proposed to double tills number and
yet make llic present appropriation sufllce for
the expenses. To do this it l.s proposed lo cut
the wugas of the men In two , and give each
patmlman f.Tui month. Already numerous
applications have been made for Jobs at this
salary. The present force will nearly all resign <
sign , and If the scheme Is carried Into cfTeot
municipal matters will be in n worse state
than nt present. The same doubling of force
und culling of salary I * proposed In Iho lire
department.
Municipal mailers are In a rather chaotic
ittute at present The city engineer resigned
the other day because the council refused lo
confirm Iho mayor's nomination of him ns
engineer , but ugreed to rctulu him ns social
engineer until some ono could be secured to
work for the salary of SIM a month. Gardner
promptly refused the office , and the entire
force hi his ofllcoqult with him , thus leaving
the elty without any engineering force. Con
sequently public Improvements in-cut u stand
still , and the mayor and the Iward of public
works have been engaged in a fruitless
endeavor to got some ouo to take Gardner's
nlace. The other city ofllcluls who hold ofllce
by virtue of appointment by the mayor are in
a state of uncertainty us to who will have
to walk the planic. The gas company is after
Insjttctor Flulmrty lMiciiu.se of his report de
claring that the company run their works ut
so high a pressure that half the gas registered
by the meter was forced through the humors
unconsuined , thus compelling consumers to
pay for twice the quantity they actually use.
The tax-payers' league have bulldozed the
council pretty effectually , and the half do/cn
remaining city oftlcers will either be dispensed

Mayor Graham has expressed himself as hay
ing had quite enough of his present job.

Tu i : 13 in : n few days ago puvo a resume of
the demands made by the Kock Island com
pany us a consideration of their coming into
Lincoln. The matter has been pretty well
discussed since then , and the citizens" are a
unit in refusing to cede the nso of Kighth
street to the company. A compromise is pro
posed , however , by'secilring for the Hock
Island the right to use the Burlington tracks
into the city , and also their depot. The Bur
lington depot is at present used by that road
and the Union Pacific , while two blocks north
the Klkhorn and Missouri Pucilie uro housed
til a Irmt ? slterl. Tin * nmnrrcftln , .
those roads enter Into an arrangement with
the Burlington to enlarge the present depot
and make a union depot out of it. The Bur
lington owns snfticlent ground for the pur
pose , and all that is necessary is to get their
consent to such an arrangement. To this end
it is proposed that instead of giving the Itock
Island $ - " > 0,000 bonds to purclmio right of way
into the city , that that sum , or more if nec
essary , be given the Bnrliugton to enter into
the arrangement outlined above. The Mis
souri Pacific hiis been anxious to make the ar
rangements , and feeler.- , have been put out
for that purpose.

of the llvo men of the city who compose t h.
chamber of commcrro IxHiitno lntcivMe.1 . ,
the subject. The result was that we n , , ,
hiivu a department of health , , '
is Just ns much a department in cotme , i , ,
with the city government as the boai-,1 , '
public worJw. There was n great deal of up
IKultlon to H at llrst , Just as there geu.-r.iiu
Is to all new dewrtuivs.

nud many are the .same as to their siK , ; \-\i \ \
health is about the last thing th > \ \ th.n ,
about.
"Our department of health in St. P.rd
seeks simply to prevent disease , p.u-ilculanv
those that uro contagious and
, wo have si.f
ceetli > l to a wonderful extent. Kvery case K
i-c { > orted at once to the department. An inspector
specter goea to the house , quarantine
nnd placards It , then makes .1
full report to the department. It-
there nro school children in i
family , the department immediately mitm
the school. When the patient l.s eouvu'os. r
our Inspector sees that the house is HUH-
oughly disinfected. Should a person die ni , i
conlagious disease the funeral Is strictly pi , .
vale no gulbcriug of friends , no exposure , , i
the corpse , nnd particularly no 'last kissing
of the marble brow.1 Why ! The lives of u
hundred or n thousand people may be tlio
cast. As soon as death has done its work- the
body Is quickly prepared for burial , sealed up
In n metallic case and hurried to the grave
unattended.
"We have a milk inspection and it nni-t
eomo fully up to u standard set by the .lm-\ ,
inspection. If n peddler Is caught \u'U
tainted mill : ills spilled upon the ITI-OIII. . . !
without a moment'.s delay. Meats , ton , HIM
thoroughly inspected before und after tlio
animals are killed.
"For u violation of any of the rules of t In-
department of. health there Is a penult \ nf
from 10 to $109.
"I have u corps of Inspectors who examine
all sewerage pipes , traps , etc. The city U
divided into ten districts ami these iiiHpiv-
tors go from liouso to house and inspect nil
parts of the property. If they llnds any rule
being disregarded they serves a notien
on the party and if they don't
correct the matter they are lined. Wo en
deavor to keep our alleys as clean as < > ui-
streets , the department having absolute CHI ,
trol of all sanitary and hyginic affairs , lu
St. Paul there are from seventy-flvo to 100
tons of garbage to bo taken care of every da\
This is one of the hardest questions whti li
we had to deal with , the poor people
plaining that they could not stand the o >
penso of removing It as frequently as the d
partment knew to be necessary. After yeari
of experimenting , and corresponding with a !
the princip.il cities of the United States an , |
many in lOurope , wo settled upon this system
of gathering and disposing of garbage. Anew \ > '
now let out to u corporation ou a live year
contract the work of gathering all
garbage once a day in the heart
of the city. A little further out it
Is collected twice a week mid from the out
skirts once a week. The taking away of dead
animals is also included In this contract. The
g irliagc is collected in air-tight wagons that
are wiislied out every day. It is taken to a
plant called the Muiv. or Vienna system , put
into n system of wrought iron cylinders , and
hermetically scaled lip. Thcso cylinders are
so arranged that all moisture , of which there
H ( K ) per cent , Is converted into steam , the
steam is condensed und made into distilled
water , while tlio gases are consumed. The
remainder comes out in u dry and perfectly
odorless condition. From thisIs extracted an
oil something like tallow , mid the then re
maining balance is used as u fertiliser. Night
soil can bo taken care of in tlio MIIII > '
way , but ns yet the process is too expensive
though wo probably shall got to that in a year
or two. For every vault cleaned Iiitlmcil )
n permit must bo obtained , and the person
doing the work is not allowed to charge more
than 10 cents n cubic foot.
"Wo nro compelled to keep u very complotn
record of births , deaths and burials , and a
ljurial permit must bo obtained for every
corpse that enters , leaves , passes through or
s buried in the city.
"Our departmentconsists of a commissioner
of health , an assistant , the chief of police , llio

oughly sustained by all Iho thinking classc.
of our people. Seven years ago prior to the
establishing of the department , the death rutu
of St. Paul was 1(1.5' ( . ' to the thousand. Last
