SALT LAKU CITY and Denver outer a
vigorous protest against the reemployment -
mont of E. P. Vlnlng as tralllc manager
of the Union Pacific. The only basis for
the report of Vinlng's return to the com

ownership meant the resurrection of the
old force and a revival of the methods
which made the compmy : more onomioH
than friends in the past Vinlng's ability
as n tralllo manager was not what it was
cracked up to bo. It consisted chiefly of
u mania to divide and sub-divide freight
grades nnd multiply classlllcatlons to an
extent nuvor before nttomptod by nny
railroad corporation. By this moans he
succeeded in swelling'tho receipts with
out a direct advance of rates and gained
credit fpr shrewdness at the expense of
the productive Industry of the west. But
the llnnncial gain to the company was
overbalanced by the number of onemlos
multiplied by Vlnlng's tottil lack of
courtesy and domineering disposition.
OAD OFFICIALS INUICTUD.
The federal grand jury at Chicago ,
whloh IB Investigating the alleged man
ipulation of freight rates by western
roads and ahlppors in violation of the
Interstate commerce law , has presented
Indlctmoiils against three railroad olll-
elate. Those olllclals are the president
and general manager of the Chicago , St.
Paul & KnnBas City road , the getwral
freight ngont of the Chicago , Burling
ton ft Quiucy , and the general freight
agent of the Chicago , Rock Island < fe Pa-
cillc. Tlio nature of the ovidcnco upon
which thcso indictments were found is not
stated , and probably will not bo known
to the public until the cases go Into
court , but it is doubtless ample. The at
torneys of the Interstate commerce
commission appear to hiiva proceeded
with great core and the jury has un
doubtedly been equally circumspect in
examining tlio evidence. It is therefore
to be presumed that in returning the in-
dictmotitfl there IH full confidence that
they can bo sustained. Others , it is ex
pected , will follow.
Tlili action can hardly fall to produce
something of n sensation in railroad cir
cles , particularly of the west. Thocom-
inon belief is that ofllcinls of every west
ern road have violated the interstate
commerce law by manipulating rates ,
and now that tlio commission has shown
Its first earnest purpose to enforce the
law , it is to bo expected that it wilt go
to tlio very bottom with Its Investiga
tion , in which case It Is reasonably cer
tain that It will have an extoudod
list of Indictments. U Is under
stood that after tlio investiga
tion of freight-rate manipulation is com
pleted attention will bo given to the
pnsBcngor departments of the roads ,
with a view to placing the responsibil
ity for the cut-rate tickets that have
recently been disturbing the market.
While it is probable that the violations
of the law in manipulating passenger
rates have not been BO common or seri
ous as in the freight business , , they
should suller the penalties provided for
each violation of the law. Thcso tire u
heavy fine or imprisonment , or a fine
and imprisonment.
The judicial proceedings thua in
stituted will load to decisions re
garding the constitutionality of cer
tain features of the interstate com
merce law , if not of the law
as a whole. Already the constitutional
issue has boon raised by the refusal of
two persons , ono a railroad oillcial nnd
the other a bhlppor , to answer questions
propounded in tlio Investigation by the
grand jury on the ground that to do BO
would ho to criminate themselves , and
if the decision of the circuit court goes
against them the cases will go to the
supreme court. Doubtless other consti
tutional issues will arise in the progress
of the trials under the indictments.
Meantime the public will regard with
unmixed satisfaction tlio evident deter
mination of the commission to enforce
the law , the violation of which with ab
solute impunity has been too long per
mitted.
AK 03IA1LI I'OSr.lL DECISIOX.
Congressman Connell Is doing' energetic -
gotic work for Omaha nnd the west.
The Washington dispatches state that
ho has prepared an argument In favor of
n now postal divibjon , with headquarters
at Omaha , and that ho will made nn
olTort to have a bill passed to this oucct
before tlio end of the present session.
This change in tlio postal department
would bo very beneficial to the service
in general and Omaha in particular , and
can bo fairly said to bo demanded by the
enormous growth of this section and the
business it gives the government. Ne
braska Is now a part of the Chicago di
vision , which includes also the states of
Illinois , Iowa , Idaho and parts of Oregon -
gen , Kansas , Colorado and South Da-
kola. Mr. Con n oil's plan is to establish
an Omaha division to cover Nebraska ,
Wyoming , Idaho and , possibly , some
other territory. The plan is not
a now ono , but it would scorn that there
is no longer any good reason for delay
ing it. Such a division must be made
sooner or later , and the revelations of
the census , as well as the largo and
growing railroad facilities at this point ,
ought to bo sulllciont to name Omaha as
the proper hoidnuartors. It ia stated
that tbo business already transacted by
the chief clerk in the Omaha ollko is
larger than that done at somn of the di
visions la the west and southwest.
The present is also a good time to ask
that the headquarters of the postal inspectors
specters bo re-established at Omaha ,
from which it was first removed to Den
ver nnd afterward to St. Louis. If Con
gressman Council can got thcso benefi
cial changes through congress be
fore ho retires ho will do most
excellent work for his city and
state and for the postal service in gen
eral. If the chnngos nro not made at
this time , when all branches of the gov
ernment are In harmony , it will bo diffi
cult to predictwhen they can bo accom
plished hereafter.
A DEFECT IX TltK MONET.lllY SYSTK31.
The secretary of the treasury in his
annual report states It to bo his judg
ment that the gravest defect bi our
present llnnneial system is its lack of
elasticity , but ho does not suggest a
remedy. Ho remarks that the national
bank system supplied this defect to some
extent by the authority which the banks
have to increase their circulation In
times of stringency , and to reduce when
money becomes abundant , but by roa&on
of the high price of bonds this authority
IIIIH ceased to bo of much practical value.
There Is reason to bellovo that the
secretary had contemplated presenting
a plan intended to provide that when
there was a surplus of money in circula
tion It could bo Invested hi government
bonds I bearing alow rate of Interest ,
and when inonoy should become scarce
these bonds could bo imtnediiitoly con
verted into currency at the treasury.
Such an intor-convortlhio bond plan has
boon proposed several times In the past
without meeting with rnuon favor , and It
Is quite probable the secretary was per-
Biuulod that It would not bo judicious to
olfor It now , at least as nn administration
measure. A bond of this kind running
indefinitely , although It carried no more
than two per cent Interest , might prove
to be an attractive investment and would
possibly effect the purpose of giving
Creator elasticity to the currency , but
\ the objection to creating a permanent
national debt is so strong Hint the Inter
convertible bond plan would hardly moot
general public approval.
Tlio secretary of the treasury con
curs in the recommendations of the
comptroller of the currency that the ob
ligatory deposit of bonds by national
batiks bo reduced and that circulation
bo issued equal in amount to the par
value of the bonds pledged , and It issnfo
to infer that ho bollovos such a changa
In the national banking law would re
sult In at least partially remedying the
defect of a lack of elasticity in the
monetary system. But In any event it
Is apparent that this is a matter of such
vital importance as to deserve the care
ful and early attention of congress. As
the secretary says , the demand for-
inonoy in this country is so irregular
that an amount of circulation
which will bo ample during ton
months of the year will fre
quently provo BO deficient during
the other two months as to cause strin
gency and commercial disaster. This
may happen without speculation and
simply as the result of the immense de
mand for money during the nctlvo
period of moving the crops to market.
But stringency may occur tit any time
and whatever the causes Its severity
will bo felt according to the degree of
inelasticity In the financial system. Un
usual importance attaches to this mit-
lor now for the reason that for several
years at least the national treasury is
not likely to bo able to glvo such assist
ance to the money market as It did dur
ing the wore pressure In September
and more recently , without which assist
ance the country would undoubtedly
have experienced u disastrous financial
crisis. Tlio nocojslty for an elastic cur
rency in a commercial country like the
United States is well understood by all
practical business men , and if wo would
avoid disastrous monetary disturbances
from time to tltno provision must bo
made for a financial system that will ad
just itfaolf readily to the irregular de
mands upon it.
A DCPLKTKD TriHASURT.
The extravagant recklessness of the
combine is already apparent in the de
pleted condition of the city treasury.
Despite the vaunted financial abilities
of the defunct > 'watch "
dog" of tlio com
bine , tUo council Is brought face to face
with an exhausted general fund.
Comptroller Goodrich reports the
funds for the following branches ex
hausted : Mayor's olllco , superintendent
of plumbing , feeding prisoners , watch
men , appraiser ? , hopitals , el cottons ,
compiling tax lists and city lighting.
Several other funds will bo exhausted
with tbo payment of the November lia
bilities.
Tills is a charming specimen of "busi
ness methods In city alTaira. "
THIS BEU warned the council at the
beginning of the year that retrenchment
was necessary not only to prevent a deficit
but , to protect the taxpayers from the
raids of useless oflieo holders. The re
duced amount of public work , the crea
tion of now departments , the division of
work formerly performed by n few men ,
and the depression which pervaded
building operations , justified a radical
reduction of the city forces.
But the combine not only refused to
curtail expense but actually multiplied
ofllces , sanctioned inflated salaries to in
competents in the city clerk's olllco ,
maintained the throe tools of the Twon-
ty-oightors in the plumbing inspector's
ofllco where ono competent man could
have done the work and paid thorn
wages for weeks dovbtod exclusively to
furthering the political fortunes of tlio
boodlors. The same spirit of extrava
gance was permitted in other depart
ments , with the result of depleting the
funds before the close of the year.
The condition of the city treasury calls
for an immediate routing of the tax-eat
ers. For weeks they have performed no
actual labor for the city. On the con
trary , they have conspired to override
the will of the voters at the primaries
and at the polls , preventing an expres
sion of honest sentiment at the former
and endeavoring to thwart the will of
the people at the latter.
IT T& exceedingly doub'tful whether
any public building bill will pass congress -
gross this session. Under ordinary con
ditions it requires considerable pressure
to secure action on such measures during
a short session. This year they are over
shadowed by increased regular appro
priations , which will not leave enough
of a-surplusto warrant any largo ox-
pondlturo in now public buildings. Tlio
determination to pass the elections bill is
likely to seriously antagonize not only
the forty public building bills on the
calendars , but to prevent consideration
of all the regular appropriation bills ;
Under these circumstances , aspirinjr
cities will spare themselves the pailgs of
defeat by placing little trust in congress.
THK editor of the national organ of
the Farmers' Alliance , In an Interview ,
hints that the opposition of that organ
ization to the financial system of the
country is soon to take a pointed turn.
Ho pays that for five months they have
had lawyers at work preparing a case
for the courts , in which they will at
tempt to show that the payment of all
premiums on bonds is illegal and un
necessary , nnd that the 870,000,000 used
for that purpose has boon wastod. It
will bo claimed that all bonds are now
duo and payable at par. This is ono of
the points of a campaign against the
financial system that bids fair to bo very
aggressive.
Tim significant fact should bo well
understood at the outset , that the elec
tion contest was conceived by prohibi
tionists , Is supported by prohibitionists
and all tlio lawyers belong to the p'irty
of frayed and frizzed colonels. A glnncu
at the list of names reveals the animus
of the "investigation. "

M. Crisp ! , the brilliant Italian prcmirr , ier-
linpi today the nblcst man charged with the
conduct of national affairs In Kitrope , lias
won n brilliant and overwhelming victory in
tlio Italinn election. For years , Imvinjj
pnlnod power by n coalition , ho has carried
on Ills government by playing ono party
against another nnd seeking support as un
hesitatingly from conservatives as from the
liberals. The constituents of his majority
have been perpetually clumping , and It Is
only by unexampled sldll n a politician and
nnmilng force of chnractor us a man that ho
has kept at his back a score or more votes
than a b.u-J majority In a chamber of up
wards of llvo hundred members. The elec
tions which have boon hold , however , glvo
Crispi's government a solid support of 400
members , or nearly four-tilths ol the cham
ber. The radicals , from whom the principal
assaults onM. Crlspl have como , have dropped
to a bare twenty-seven , and the great con
servative strength , which it has always been
felt inltrht divide tlio ministerial party , has
cast its tot lu with the youthful follower of
Ma lnl who lu his old ago has bscomo the
steadfast support of crown , law nnil settled
onler. Such a result Is llttlo short of a po
litical revolution. It iflvos M. Crlspl an as-
surcJ position such as no Italian premier has
had In twenty yenrd. It greatly strengthens
the Dositlon of tlio triple alliance , of which M.
Crispi Is the uncompromising supporter. It
ends the droatn of the Irredentist party , that
its members rnljhtby | } agitation , intrigue aud
a network of secfot oclotlos , foment trouble
between Austria , , and Italy over the frag
ments of Italian territory the former still
holds about Trieste. It stamps with perma
nency the policy of Italian expansion in tbo
lied Sea nnd Abyssinia. Unfortuuatolyalso ,
it continues in Italy the wasteful and extrav
agant uitnnmcnts which have brought its
treasury to the cd'go'of bankruptcy , vastly
added to taxation , and postponed , tbo devel
opment of material woaltu.

The future of Holland may bo said to de
pend upon tbo llfo of a frail mid delicate girl
of ten. Llttlo I'rlncoss Wllbolmlna U fur
from being a strong child ; nnd In tlio event
of her death the crown will puss to her
father's only aUtor , the wlfo of the reigning
grand iluko of Saxo-Wolmar , nnd subse
quently to the lattor's sons , who , like their
father , are Gorman princes and ofllcors to tbo
very coro. Although the Dutch constitution
of October 14 , 1848 , provides that the crown
shall not bo hold concurrently wltn tbo
actual rulershlp of any foreign country , yet
there is nothing In this clnuso to prevent tbo
grand ducncss of Saxo-Welmar from exorcis
ing the sovolgnty of the Netherlands whllo
her husband continues to exercise that of his
grand duchy. Itvlll bo seen , therefore , that
in the ovoat of llttlo Queen "SVllbelmlna's
death , Holland , with all its vast colonial
possessions nnd enormous trade , will bccomo ,
if not do Jure , nt nny rate do facto , port
and pare 1 of the Gcrmnn empire. This
is a result which , although awaited with ill-
disguised Impatience at Berlin , Is regarded
in the Heht of a terrible nightmare by the
Hollanders , who nro fonder of success in
commerce than of military glory ; who prefer
hiring mercenaries to light Instead of doing
their lighting themselves , nnd who nro con
vinced that nny union with Germany will involve -
volvo the disappearance of their ancient lib
erties , of their trade , and of the peaceful
nnd easy-going existence to which they have
been so long accustomed. Indeed , there are
many who assert that sooner than submit to
Gorman mnstery they will rlso nnd proclaim
the abolition of monarchy and the restoration
of tlio ancient Dutch republic under a stadt-
bolder , or president , elected by the statos-
general. It will bo seen , therefore , thnt not
jn Sorvla and Spain , but also in the Nether
lands , do vnst interests , both dynastic and
national , domestic and foreign , depend upon
the precarious lives of Infant sovereigns.
*
The cordial relations which have hitherto
boon maintained between England nnd Italy
seem likely to bo Impaired by the rupture of
the negotiations regarding the boundaries of
Abysalnla. The Italians Insisted that for the
defense of their Abyssinian protectorate nn
occupation of Kussnla either by an Anglo-
Egyptian or an Italian force was indispens
able. The attitude of tbo British foreign
ofllco , on the other ] iind $ , Is precisely that of
the dog In the manger , It will neither take
Knssuln Itself nor pprjnlt Italy to do so. That
ndds to the uneasiness of the Italians at
finding their bands tied in the mutturof ICas-
sain la the reflection that , nt best , tlielr
policy of nnnoxatlon'Ih ' Abyssinia Is of ques
tionable expediency. 'jTbo ' acquisition of Mas-
sowali , the occupattoUjOf the high tableland
of Keren and Asmara , and tbo assumption of
a protectorate over j bysslnlu are moves an
alogous to tlio French adventures In Tonquln
nnd Annm , which ruined tbo ministry of M.
Jules Ferry. Italy It rnr less nblo than was
Franco to afford suclfnmhlMous and expen
sive domoustrutiouH ; ! , Isor were they , in
deed , over deliberately auctioned by
the Italian people ) or Its legislature ,
Onlv , when tbby wcro presented
as nccouipllsnod facts xvna the reluctant ac
quiescence of the chamber of doputlos ob
tained. The cost of maintaining n standing
urmy In readiness for European contingen
cies is out of all proportion to Italy's finan
cial resources , nnd the country cannot boar
the additional burden that would bo im
posed by a war tor the defense of Abygslnta.
Where Lord Wolsoloy failed it Is improbable
thnt the Italians would succeed without an
exhausting outpour of men nnd inonoy.
Speaking on this subject some months ago ,
tin influential Italian statesman , Marquis
Altlori , said that the uncertainties of the
African programme were Inllnito , while Its
advantages , compared with its risks , must al
ways bo small. In nny case , whut Africa had

profitably have been spout at homo.

adoption of n now plan in tin ! npnortlontnatit

this a means of overturning the present demo

Sr.XATOIl PADDOCK OX TIIF ! INDIANS.
Senator Paddock said today that bo did
not believe there has been at nny time any
real danger of nn Indian outbreak in Nebras
ka or South Dakota and that it tbo military
authorities had not agitated the question
there would not have been near so much nn-
noyanco to the settlers. "Tho Indians have sim
ply been enjoying a religious revival similar
to the Protestants hi clvlhVod sections , " said
tlio senator. "Wo church people have reviv
als nnd under the Influence of the all wise
nowcr wo shout and give evidence of our joy.
The Indians have the same experience
and they gave orl lonco of thulr condition by
dancing. I really do not believe there was
anything of a serious nature among tuo In
dians , but they have been impressed that tbo
whites intend to molest thorn and they have
prepared to defend themselves. There is
such a thing ns too much interference with
the Indians. "
Congressman Evans of Chattanooga lias a
plnn for avoiding Indian outbreaks in the future
turo which ho thinks will provo very ofllc.v
cious. It is likely that ho will cubmit bis
Ideas in the form of a bill. Ho proposes that
the Indians who uro possessed of property in
terests shall bo responsible for the damages
done by them or their families to the prop
erty of others nnd that tbo government shall
deduct from tbo allotments of lauds which
may bo made in tbo future or tux tbo lands
already given for the damages Indlaus may
porpotruto. Ho thinks If the Indians
Instead of the government would
have to pay the losses suffered
by these periodical outbreaks there would bo
soon a cessation. Mr. Evans is Inclined to
regard the redskins as being as easily influ
enced when you touch their pockets as the
white man , ana says he can sec no reason why
the Indian should not bear tbo expenses of a
frolic the same as a vvblto man.

pointed to confer with the great four. Tbo
Tolleston packers nnd railroad representa

is not expected that any decision will bo
reached before tomorrow. The coimnltteffof

sition mndo by the Tnlloston packers , and
this , tnkon in conjunction with the meeting

cate that a proposition would bo made. Tlicro

WASIHXOTOV , Dec. 5. Supervising Special
Agent Tingle in his annual report says :
"While In attendance on the conference of
consuls general of the United States in
Europe , called to consider the practical work-
lags of the customs law , I was strongly Im
pressed with the wisdom and necessity for a
stringent enforcement of that act. Had
further proof boon needed it would have
been found In publications in tbo European
press admitting that Invoices wcro
systematically and Intontlontlonnlly un
dervalued nnd deploring the fnct
that under the uo\v \ provisions of
the law thcso evasions could no longer bo
safely continued. It has also been brought
prominently to my notice that while citizens
ot those countries wove enjoying largo prollts
on their deceptive nnd illicit Importations
into the United States , American products
were unreasonably nnd invidiously pro
scribed nnd made to feel the rigor of their
commercial laws. " Tingle expresses the
opinion that more than half the prepared
onium consumed in this country during the
past -six years has been smuggled. It is be
lieved , he says , thnt nn internal revenue tax
of not more thun K > per pound on prepared
article ( crude opium to bo admitted free ) and
n corresponding duty upon smoking opium
Imported would practically put an end to
smuggling.

NKW YoHir,1 Doe. 5. [ Special Telegram
to Tin : UKE.J H. O. Dun fc Co 's ' weekly review -
view of trade says : The stringency In eom-
morclnl loans , noticed lust \veelc ns the chief
causoof present illsturb.inco.s , U now almost
the only remaining cause.
In domestic nftiilrs there lias boon n dis
tinct Improvement lu thodlspoillion of banks
nnd money lenders to glvo ticcmsary support
to legitimate business , curtailing speculative
advances us far 113 possible , but tlio volmuo
of trade Is still surprisingly heavy. With
time nnd spirit of inutuul hvlpfuluoss tlm
legitimate business of the country should
soon recover Its normil atato of health.
Very numerous nnil full reports from other
cities this week show that the cheapness of
cotton at the south anil the delay of winter
woatlior nt the north Imvo somewhat reduced
the transactions nud cattso 1 moro tardiness
In collection- * than horctoforo. IJut colder
woathoi' nnd the approach of tlio holidiy
season already begin to htivo a fuvorablo
effect nt many points. Thus nt
St. Louis trade Is improved in all
seasonable lines , excellent nt Ualtimori. '
nml batter at Detroit nnd Uoston. Almost
southern points the slower movoino nt of cot
ton on account of low prices Is named us the
principal cause of delay In collections , thus at ,
Dallas , whllo money is tight , banks
made ad van cos , are urging shipments , ami ,
within n radius of ono hundred miles are
said t" bo from M , KUOOi ) , ) to $10,003,000 , wotth
of cotton to bo forwarded.
The banks nro generally tnltlng care of thcii-
custoniors as far us they are able , and the
movement of sugar nt New Orleans is largo
nt good prices. In the northwest , whllo u
conservative feeling appears , nnd money Is
generally in sharp itoinand , there is noti'ii
greater ease. At Cincinnati and ono or two
other points , mill at Chicago necessary ad
vances for legitimate business nro maito to
the exclusion of long drawn out or specula
tive demand. The country trade Is healthy ,
nnd no fears for the future are expressed. At
Uoston there is a better feeling. I'rovlilcnco
notes quiet trado. At Hartford the banks
tnko euro of their customers whoso ncodi are
largo , manufacturing having greatly
increased. At Now Haven inonoy
is comparatively easy , though some
houses Unit collections harder than for ten
years past. Philadelphia reports some activ
ity In holiday trade * though the grocery trade
is only fair.
Wool is extremely dull and ton and cofloo
Hat. About SD.OOO.OOO in clearing house cer-
tlllcatcs nro outand the banks are dlscounU
ing custom house paper liberally. The move
ment of produce nt Chicago shows an In
crease over last year of one-half In oats ,
dressed bcof and barley , some Increase in
lard , cheese and hides and n decrease in
wheat , Hour , corn , cured moats nnd wool.
In general the volume of trade throughout
the country la so heavy thnt with thu ad
vance of 7 per cent in prices since a year
ago larger supplies of money are absorbed. \
The speculative markets for prouucts are rel
atively high nlroadv. wheat having advanced
a shade for the week nnd corn no less than
2 } cents , oil 1 cen t nnd porlc 23 cents per bar
rel , though lartt and hogs nro n shade lower
and cotton and copper unchanged.
There Is no especial cliango noted
In the great industries though pig-Iron
Is rather weaker In tono. Demands for lln-
Ished products of Iron anil steel are still largo
though distinctly loss than n month ago , nnd
rails are weak with scanty sales , The woolen
manufacture Is moro hopeful and conlldont V
than at this time a year ago but manufac Vs
turers nro moving without caution. s
Labor troubles nro very few nud the indus
