It reads as follows : THE OMAHA HKB of Mny 1 , 1S91 , con- tallied an editorial commenting upon an In terview with myself by u Hnr. reporter April 30 , in which It inferred that I , with the In dependents , admitted that wo knexv before hand that Governor Hoyd would not sign the maximum freight rate bill. Wo knew noth ing of the kind , but wo felt satUllou from the notions of both old parties before the election that Ktioh would bo the case , and when tlio legldaturo was organized It was plain to nil thinking men what the result of independent legislation would bo , that ! * , if n combination strong enough could bo made to accomplish the desired results , What could the Independents do butte to pm : n maximum freight rnlo bill based on iho Iowa rates and bo true to their constituency and to their honor ) Is'olhlne , because tbo people of Nebraska drafted It In their platform , nnd n majority of the logHlaturo , both houses , was elected on the platform so made , and It was nothing morn than the duty of these elected to nbido by the will of the people emphatically expressed nt tbo ballot-box under tbo laws of what we call n free republic. Now , it is n well-established fact thnt in law there are three divisions or departments in malting and controlling law. The governor has n perfect right to consent or dissent as ho chooses. Hut thu legislature , which is always first in the commencement of gov ernment , and upon n question declared a special issue in u platform and passed upon favorably by n majority of the people , then when the governor with holds his signature , It must necessarily fol low , that , politically speaking , ho boars the consequence of what the public may tli'nk ' of tils olllcinl acts. And when you laUa iho public press to try and say that n party of men comprising n majority of the law making power of n state passed a law fulfilling n command , nmdo by tlio people , simply for political effect , is too thin to hold water. It is much easier to ask a few questions nnd Jump at a conclusion than it Is to wrlto out a general line of facts and make them conform to the \\lll of the people. Hut it sounds very queer when n paper claiming to represent the republican party charges llio Independ ents witli forming n prominent wing of the democratic party and then turn around and say that they put a democratic governor in ttio soup. Wo still think "Consistency , thou art. n Jewel. " b. M. Ki.nnn , Clay Center , Nob. , May ' . ' , Ih'.ll. Inasmuch as Mr. Kldor has taken it upon himself to correct TIIK BKK , it is eminently proper that TIIK UKK correct Mr. KUlur and place him in his true Ilirlil Imfnrn Ilin sit ! Tn ilntntr envn sincerely regret that wo cannot hold Mr. Elder up as a man of whom the alliance has i-auMj to feel proud. Long before the legislature convened Mr. Kldor was talked about and seri ously urged by the railroad managers as a compromise candidate for speaker in case the republicans and democrats could not harmonize upon a man. This information reached THK UEK through parties who made it their business to sound the railroad managers in their political councils. Mr Elder's election as speaker was hailed by the corporation lobby as a victory and his conduct ns speaker did not disap point the oilroom gang. Mr. Elder's shortcomings as presiding ofllcor of the house might bo condoned. A farmer who had never taken purl in a legisla tive body could bo readily excused for a lack of parliamentary tactics and oven for ridiculous blunders in the chair. But Mr. Elder's failings were not confined to his rulings on questions pending before the house. Very early in the session ho was decoyed into the dragnet szt by the adroit cappers , of whom Paul Vandor- voort was the chief. Their snares brought him under tlio domination of the corporation lobby , and from that time on to the end they wore his masters and ho their creature. Speaker Elder allowed them to block nil wlinlnsnmn Inf islnt.lon nnil ITinv dictated the sifting committee through which all measures that wore olTensivo to money sharks , insurance companies , the book trust , the peniten tiary contractor , and railroad telegraph and telephone monopolies were strangled. So much as a prelim inary explanation , which THE BKK re gretfully makes , in order to undeceive the people who sincerely desired to boo legislation that would afford relief to the producing and industrial classes. Now us to railroad legislation , Mr. Elder assorts that lie in common with the independents did not know before hand that Governor Boyd would not ap prove the Nowborry bill. There are none so blind as these who will not see. Mr. Elder and his colleagues had ample knowledge of Boyd's views on the rail road question. Hoyd himself took pains to make them known. IIo pledged him self to approve n maximum rate bill that would * reduce tlio toll on staple commodities , including coal , lumber , live stock , grain , hay and salt. During the session nnd before the New- berry .bill had passed the house , TIIK BKK warned the legislature agaiiibt it because it would surely bo vetoed and , oven if passed over the governor's head , would bo de clared unreasonable by the courts be cause it failed to take into account the difference between tlio volume of rail road trallle in Iowa and Nebraska. At thu same time TIIK BKK urged the pass age of the Stevens maximum rate bill becaubo it had been drawn with a view of overcoming these objections. Gov ernor Boyd might have vetoed this bill also for all wo know , but it could have boon passed over his veto and would have stood the test of the courts. But oven if the Stuvons bill had failed , the legislature could readily have passed a maximum commodity bill and had It ap proved beyond any doubt. Such a bill would have covered nine-tenths of what the farmers sell and buy. It would have mo entering weuiro ami proparcu the way for further restrictive railroad legislation. Mr. Elder asks : "What could the In dependents do but pass a maximum freight bill based on the Iowa rates and bo true to their constituents and their honor ? " They could and should have done the next best thing if they sincerely intended to give the l > eoplo relief , instead of contenting themselves with voting for bills which they know would either bo killed by the governor or pronounced void by the courts. Supi > o o the political conventions had demanded the New YorU 'xoight and passenger rates for Nebraska and thu legislature found Hint such n rate wns not practicable , would they hnvo been justified In refusing to ninlco any reduci tlon whatever bocivuso they could not got nil tluil the politicians of their party Imd plodded from the stumpy In oilier words , can Spunkor r'lder or nny other Independent explain why thu legislature ndjourned without prohibiting passes or reducing ; ollher freight or passenger rates'/ Why did they chokoolT the usury blllff , nnd why did they full lo enact any lnw by which the people nro protected from Imposition ntul outrageous uxae- lions by Iho various monopolies Hint tire taking millions annually out of thostalo without adequate returns'1 ; What is the use of nn anti-monopoly reform lefjltilti- lure Hint contents Itself with paying its obligations to constituents with due bills on the future ? ,1 AKH' MAIIKKI' I'Ull SII.rKH. The disastrous financial experience of the Argentine republic may bring some benefit to the silver producing interest of the United States It is reported that the Argentine government having found it impracticable to restore the currency of the country to the gold standard has determined to establish a silver basis. If this Is the case , and it Is altogether probable , it will very likely croatu a. considerable additional demand for American silver , for it is to be supposed that the required supply will bo sought for in this country if it can bo obtained hero. There is no data at hand to show what amount of silver the Argen tine republic will need to replace its depreciated paper , but It must be very considerable. The question natur ally suggests itself whether the United States is in a position to supply it , and the obvious answer would scorn to bo that it cannot do so unless there is a con siderable increase in the production. The amount required under the law to bo purchased annually by our own treas ury department , leaves a very small sur plus , hardly siilllciont to meet the de mand for ether uses , and as our pio- ducors would doubtless prefer to soil to their own government the Argentine republic will have to look elsewhere for its silver supply unless this country pro duces more than at present. Of course an increased demand would stimulate production. This has been shown since the last silver law was passed. But how much of an increase can bo made it is impossible to say. Undoubtedly the maximum limit of pro duction has not boon reached , nor ia it probable that tlio silver territory is till being worked. The certainty in the mutter is that if , the Argentine govern ment comes into the market with a de mand fora largo and constant supply of feilvor the price will advance , and this must happen whether the silver is sup plied from tills country or obtained else- whore. Should the ofTdct bo to estab lish a parity between silver and gold with a reasonable probability of it being maintained , the solution of tlio silver question would bo reached and the cry for free coinage in this country would subside. This possibility gives interest to the reported financial depart ure of the Argentine republic , but un fortunately the complicated stale of affairs in that country and the foreign influences that control thqro warrant a doubt whether the government can carry out any financial policy it may propose.

It is now stated that the supervising architect of the treasury department is drawing plans for the now postotllco building with n view to placing the structure flush against Sixteenth street , thus making Seventeenth street face the backyard. The square is 2-10x204 foot , the long fronts being on Capitol avenue and Dodge. The proposed building is 120x200. It will bo observed that front ing on Sixteenth street will leave but 20 foot between the north and south ends and the two streets respectively , while there will bo 10-1 feet between Seven teenth street and the west wall of the proposed building. This will waste the block for loss than half of it will ho occupied and the whole purpose of securing an entire square will bo nullified. The building should either stand in the centre of the square with the length toward tlio north and south ends of the block or toward Sixteenth and Seventeenth. In the future when required , wings can bo added and the general beauty of both grounds and buildings will not suffer , whereas if the proposed scheme is car ried out the parking which ought tote to bo nnd is contemplated will not bo seen ut all from Sixteenth street. The square is very low and must bo piled before the building is erected. The farther west the building stands the bettor will bo the foundation. It can just as well bo an ornament to the city as otherwise. If placed in the centre of the block with fronts on both Capitol avenue nnd Dodge street , there will bo 70 foot on either side for parking and ornamentation. When wings are added , supposing them to bo 100 by GO on each side , there will still bo four corner parks each 82x70. The public buildings and grounds will always bo handsome if this course is followed , but If the plan as now proposed be adopted no one will bo benefited and the harmony of the whole structure will bo ruined , TIIK BKK hopes tlio delegation in congress and all concerned will not permit the present proposed scheme for erecting an enormous stone house with nn ugly back yard to bo consummated. Neither citizens nor the govornmontcontemplato giving Sixteenth street all the business benefits of the now postotllco. but the plan suggested will not Interfere in the iwtiab WILII biua uiuu niuuil iMUVJUlb among some property owners on that thoroughfare.

THK now amendments to the Mnlno liquor law , intended to give It greater stringency , went into effect on the first of the present month , and are already mooting with a vigorous protest.

A nri.'xiiit : on SOJIBTMAO It Is announced that Mr. E. C. Carncs of < Sow.ard has boon appointed state oil inspector I by Governor Thayor. No act by 1 Governor Thnyor could have scandal ized i the republican party moro than the appointment of Carnos to any position of honor , profit or trust. Carries has for years prostituted him self and disgraced the party by acting as n political procurer nnd legis lative oil room lobbyist. Ho has made merchandise of his inlltienco nnd gambled In legislative options on meas ures that wore ponding. Nothing has reflected moro seriously upon tlio su preme court , and particularly upon Judge Norval , than the fact that this notorious lobbyist at various slices of the Thayor-Boyd contest boldly and openly offered bets upon the outcome and virtually proclaimed that lie had a string tied to Judge Norval that ho could null at his pleasure. It is nn open secret that Carnos had no legitimate business at tlio capital during the into session ol tlio legisla ture , and ills sumptuous living at the Lincoln hotel must have either been gotten out of the corporations , at the gaming table , or is ho going to recoup himself out of the perquisites of tlio oil impeding business ? 11 Governor Thayer is under any obli gations to Carncs for services rendered or inlluonco exerted ho should have paid him out of ills own pocket , but jvlion ho appoints sucli a dibroputnblo person to a position thnt ought to bo filled by a man of unbending integrity , ho gives proof more potent than holy writ of a bargain of which his worst oncmies scarcely would bolicvo him guilty , and stultifies himself before all reputable citizens. Tlio selection of Cnrncb only emphasizes the current opinion that the so-called inspection of oils is simply carried on for the benefit of boodlers who are foraging upon the Standard oil monopoly while' the same time play ing into its hands.

The rumors noout the two Now York llrms interested in the Chilian trouble tmvo now taken definite shape by the naming of tbo firm of W. B. Grace & Co. and of C. H.

Flint threw His inlluonce to the bide of the existing government. It Is stated that Flint it Co. sent suimo time 1130 two larco consignments of arms to Balmaceda. There were 250 cases of rillos nnd 750 cases of cartridges in each consign mont. Tnoro have also been shipments of arms on an extensive scale by friends of the other faction. All kinds of complicated questions of neutrality are said to bo involved. Grace ft Co. has branch houses for the purchase and sale of general merchandise at Limn , Callu , Valparaiso , Guayaquil and San Francisco. It is the fiscal agent of the Peruvian government. During the war between Peru and Chili it took an active share on tlio side of the for mer , furniShlng the government with arms and ether weapons. When the Chilians en tered Lima the agents of the victorious gov ernment , dosirlng to wrcnk special ven geance on the Graces , destroyed their pro- Ecrty wherever it could bo found. The firm rought claims against Chili amounting to fciOOU,000 , which wore allowed by the international - national commission. Chili refused to pay on the ground that the Graces had given aid to the enemy. This was the beginning of the enmity between this powerful house and the party then in power and now represented by Ualmucoda. The stations of the house were in charge of John Grace , a member of the linn who represents its Interests in Chili.and ho fought hard to obtain recognition of his Judgment from the present Chilian adminis tration. The Graces have had a valuable all } * In Chill in the porsor of one Klclmrd Trumbull , an American by descent but a Chilian by birth , n mombcr of the Chilian congress , u sharp , shrewd , successful lawyer , whoso In- lluenco and aid bnvo boon cast with the in surgents. He comes of good American stock. His grandfather was the famous revolution ist Jonathan Trumbull of Connecticut , and bis father was tbo Jlrst Protes tant minister to settle In Chill. Last January bo caino to - Now York and spcntsomo months in this country , openly acting as the agent of the insurgents. Ho maclo his headquarters with Grace , with whom , it is alleged , ho had commercial rela tions In Valparaiso. When last heard of he was In San Francisco not over a week ago , and there Is reason to suppose ho was not there for pleasure. Ho Is supposed to tinvo bought arms from or through tbo house of Grace , shipped them to San Francisco and there loaded them upon a vessel which ho ran down the coast a short distance , where ho was to bo mot by an insurgent man-of- war , to which they were to bo transferred. lu the meantime Mr. Flint bad not been in active.
