TIIK effect of the now Illinois usury law will bo watched with great interest throughout the west. Wo have boon so frequently warned that further limita tion of interest rates in this state would bo disastrous ; that many people in Ne braska dread agitation of the subject. With a judgment rate of but 5 per cent and a contract rate not exceeding 7 per cent , Illinois will demonstrate the evils , if any , and the benefits , if any , of a strict usury law and low legal rates of inter est.

The Importance of this measure from a humanitarian standpoint will bo understood when it is associated with the fact that from 150,000 to 200,000 chil dren of those tender years work half time In English factories at present. Strangely enough the laboring classes opposed the amendment and Homo Sec retary Matthews , on behalf of the gov ernment party , resisted its passage.

Ho disclaims , also , any present political am bition , of which ho has been tmspootod , and undoubtedly ho will be found faith fully supporting Senator Sherman for ro-olootiou , should the republic- ana soouro the next legislature.

It may direct the attention of the board to some important changes in the methods of certifying accounts. Following the precedents of tlio party , let the republican state olliclnls devote the next month or two to general house- cleaning. The present stnto govern ment contains some now blood. It is an excellent time for a general scrut- tiny of the methods of expendi ture in all the Htato Institu tions. There are doubtless many evils to bo corrected which are the result of carelessness on tlio part of employes and executive ollicors.

TIIK IlKCll'llOCirr TllKA IT II7TSl'AlA' . It is expected that the president will make formal announcement of the re ciprocity arrangement with Spain about the end of the present month. It is au thoritatively stated that the agreement is complete on both sides and equally satisfactory to both , and the English and Spanish texts of the agreement , which are to stand as its authoritative interpretation , are in course of prepara tion. Tlio delay in olllcially announc ing the arrangement appears to bo duo to the absence from Washington of Secretary Elaine ; who wishes to have his name appear in connec tion with the final and formal act. It is also saia that the prime min ister of Spain has expressed a desire that the finality of the arrangement might bo suspended until it could bo soon whether Mr. Olaino would bo able at an early day to resume his duties. The consummation of this agreement id regarded as the most important single achievement of tlio administration. The president is said to bo greatly gratified with the broad and libaral spirit In which the Spanish prime minister has mot the approaches of the United States and rocogni/.ed the force of our peculiar commercial interests with Cuba , and it is under stood that ho will recommend to congress - gross the propriety of lowering considerably - . orably the duties upon Cuban tobacco of the present tariff law. As to the results expected from the reciprocity agree ment , it is said that the best customs experts of the treasury department ijro- dict a. surprising growth of American ox ports to Cuba as soon as the arrange ment gets fairly to work. This will como not only from the lowering of 3uban duties upon our imports , but also 'rom the increased prosperity of Cuba under the now tniilT. At present our trade with that island is largely one sided. While the United S tates is by far the best customer of Cuba , taking moro of her products than all other nations combined , wo sell to her people only i small part of what they buy. Spain ins managed to keep that market to lorsolf as far as she is able to supply It , and such export trade as this country ms with the island Is chiefly in articles that cannot bo so advantageously ob tained olsowhoro. That the Cuban poole - > lo prefer dealing with the United States , however , was very plainly shown jy the action which led the Spanish government to consider the question of ec'.proclty and which had a very decided nlluence in producing the broad and Iboral spirit on the part ol that govern- nont which is said to bo so gratifying to , ho president. So soon , therefore , as .ho . reciprocity agreement goes into of- oct it is reasonably to bo expected that Jils country will supply nearly ovory- hiiig the Cuban people require , and , his will moan an addition to our foreign commerce of many millions of dollars annually , a considerable part of which will bo In the products of the farm. It s thus seen thtit the plan of reciprocity s making steady progress , giving assur- uico of grout bonelits to all American ntorosts and the creation of a bond > otweon all the independent coun ties of this hemisphere that will grow closer and stronger vith time. The nations of Europa are nanifcstlng some alarm at the onward n a roll of this policy , but they will note > o able to defeat it if our own people iivvo the energy and enterprise to im- ) rovotho ) advantages It will oiler. Status- nanslup Is doing its part well , and when t has performed its task all that will be necessary to complete HUCCOSS is that our uanufncturnrs and merchants shall con- orm to the requirements and conditions of the southern markets. Tlmt they vill do this ia perhaps not to bo doubled. A STAIILK OUIlllKNOr. Tlio best portion of the speech of ' Major MoKlnloy in accepting tho'noml- lation of the Ohio republicans for governor - ornor related to the ourrunoy. Ilo said ho republican party is in favor of a cir culating medium largo enough to do the ust business of ttio country , but insists hat that circulating medium , whether liver or paper OP gold , shall bo Bound and table , secure from discount , or depre ciation or fluctuation , not only good unong ourselves , but wherever rado extends. lie said that ox- Kirlonco at homo and throughout he world has demonstrated that a fluc tuating , irredeemable currency falls nest injuriously upon the laborer and agriculturalist of the country. They glvo the best they hnvo tholr labor ant the products of their labor anJ receive in payment the worst form of monoj which passes current. The banker and broker , the grain dealer nnd wool buyer , like the rest of mankind , always pays oul the poorest money which will circulate and retains the best. If there is money ol differing values , the best is practically taken out the channels of trade and from commercial uses hoarded by those who can have accumulations and the circulating medium is thus contracted and the country deprived ol the active use of its best monoy. This results Inevitably in one standard , and that the poorest. The farmer , said Major MoKlnloy , when ho sells his wheat is required to glvo a full bushel in measure. Ilo should receive and the buyer should ho required to pay him a full dollar in valuo. Tills cannot bo if wo have dif ferent kinds of legal tender money of unequal valuo. "Wo do not want short weight or short measure to apply to what wo buy , nor do those who sell want nor should they bo required to ro- colvo by the flat of the govern ment a short dollar in payment for what they soil. Wo all buy and all soil something labor or land or skill , or products or merchandise , and have an equal and reciprocal Interest that our money shall have fixed and unvarying standards of valuo. When the laborer performs a full day's work ho should re ceive his pay in dollars of full value. " Referring to the sub-treasury scheme , Major McICinloy said there can bo no legerdemain in legislation which will secure to us money which does not be long to us , or which can provide the means to pay our debts. The govern ment was not ordained for any such purpose. It can only give to the citizen the widest Op portunity of reward for his labor , en ergy and investment. "It cannot sup ply his losses , nor can it loan its taxes to him. It can coin money and regulate the value thereof ; it can borrow money when its receipts fail to provide the necessary revenue to conduct the gov- ornmcnt. But it cannot create money without creating a debt chargeable upon the people. It cannot become the de pository of the products of the people and advance money thereon , and if it had the power it would bo unwise and suicidal to do it. " All this is sound doctrine which men of intelligence everywhere will endorse. No people are so deeply concerned in having a stable currency , every dollar ( if which is as good as any dollar , as the farmer and the workingman. They are not in a position to protect themselves against the injurious consequences of a fluctuating currency , and they must necessarily bo the principal sufferers from a monetary system that provides currency of differing values. It is of the highest importance to them that the money they receive in exchange for their products or labor shall not only bo sound when they receive it , but shall zarry with it the assurance that it will bo just as sound a year after. THE Water Works company does not 3wn the city. It is to bo hoped its pro prietorship does not so much as include i ward councilman. Its proposition that Iho city must continue to pay rent upon entirely useless hydrants is too absurd 'or consideration. If the city has no iglit to place its hydrants where they ire needed , regardless of the wishes of , ho watqr works company , what rights ias the city reserved to itself in its con- iract with that corporation ? The arro- jancoof this f ran chisod monopoly in this natter of hydrants is as much contrary .o . good sense as its other contention .hat . it will not lay plpos in streets to bo mprovod , unless hydrants are located at iuch Intervals as it proposes. Tlio loonor the rights of the city with rofor- inco to the waterworks monopoly are udicially determined the bettor. The iltinons are becoming weary of its ava- ice and presumption. iKU the distribution of the by. Irants is wise or otherwise is a subject or the council to determine. Ward inos have nothing whatever to do with ho question. The city cannot af- ord to maintain 31 useless by- Irants at an oxponsoof moro than $2.000 ior annum merely to keep ponce between ouncilmeii or to make sure that each mrd has its pro rata of fire plugs ac- ording to population. The whole city ays the cost of the hydrants , and the nterests of the city at largo should bo ho controlling consideration in locating .nil relocating them. MlNNKAl'OMS newspapers repudiate ho telegraphic report that the Minno- ota metropolis has abandoned the effort o secure the next republican national onvontion. On the contrary they insist hat they are entered for the race and annot bo ruled out by any old fogy cit- Kens who fear the city Is not equal to ho emergency. This fact makes the ontost all the moro interesting for ) maha. It may result in a pooling of iitorcsts eventually as against our big ompotltor , Chicago. Tun assembled consuls at Port-au- 'rinco quietly retained their seats while Ilppolyto glared at and insulted them , 'ho black president finally Uopartod and ook up a flute to quiet his norvett witli Ls music.

The farmers alliance will not bo nblo to nako much of a showing out of the statistics elating to the mortgaging of farm lands in Nebraska. Tno commissioner of labor and mlustrial statistics of that state has made a : aroful Investigation In a typical county nnd Inds that out of a total of 111,109 acres of 'arm ' land only lO.Olfi , or two-sovonths , Is nortgaged , and that the average mortgage Is inly 811.71 per aero. Hut the Inquiries rolat- ng to the reasons for mortgaging are oven nero remarkable , as they disclose the fact bat fiS per cent represents money borrowed o buy land ; 7 per cent for stock and 1m- ) rovoinonts ; 20 pop cent for business In- ostmonts , and only 15 per cent for all other mrposos , which covers improvidence , bad : reps ana every other trouble. What Is true if Sarpy county Is probably true of every ithor county , and It may bo assorted with lositlvenoss that the mortgages upon farm ands generally , Instead of representing , 03 ins been falsely assumed by freetraders , the llstrcss and Impoverishment of the agrlcul- ur.il classes , are really the strongest kind of vidonco of progress. In other words , five- Ixttis of Iho mortgages represent progress nd development just as surely as does the ecord of a mortgage by n progressive man In city who is using the bonowed money to xtund his business and Increase his ability D make money. , f _ VXCMtK KICK "r.lTKIt JHHX' , llcnrii Itcc I Cnniint tn Yanlier llluila. ly gramPpa used to tell mo when I wuz a little ' 'or.it , " t [ Vhon ho heerd ma talk on glttin1 schoolln1 an' the Ilka o' tJuit , lo used to say , ) "Ilfs well enough to git a common knowln' , tut some one's got > lo/stay at homo an' du the 'tntor noeln.1 ' 'kings ain't tha wav they used to bo some sixty years ago ; fjong tticro folks wau't feroyor on the git there an' the go , 'hoy used to stay at nome an1 help to keep tha farm again' , in' belli to keep tho. fences up , an' du the later bocia' .

The census Just taken shows a doollno n the population ot Ireland for the la.it tai years of na.irly half a million. This Is i greater decline than that of any equal period slnco t8T > I-01 , nnd It points to a decay of Irlst Industries , nnd a weakening of Ireland a1 ono of the Integral portions of the Unttoi Kingdom , which c.innot fall to profoundly Impress mon of Irish birth or descent every where. The loss Is nearly 10 per cent on the average population of Ireland during the last decade. That Is to say , Ireland has de clined at about the same rate that Ohio , outslda of two or three cities , has rained. The depressing Inlluonco of suck a steady drain can hardly bo over estimated. It moans less land cultivated fewer homos occupied , and the staxnntlon of those industries which , like the building trades , are dependent mainly upon the growth of population. Moreover , It Implies the rapid dwindling of Irish political strength am prestige In the affairs of the United Klnir ( lorn. In 1811 thu population of Ireland wai over one-half as great as that of England ami Wales , and constituted almost exactly ! ! 0 per cent of the population of the United King dom. Half n century gone llnds the Inhabi tants of Ireland only about It ) per cent a ; numerous as these of England and Wales , and forming but W per cent of the total for the British tslos. Clearly Iho tlmo Is gene by forever whoa the peo'plo of Ireland might hope to grappla succors , fully with the English , Scotch and Walsh , or obtain from the central government of the United Kingdom any other concessions than -such as m.iy bo freely granted by the domin ant British party or sanctioned by the publlo opinion of Great Britain However , the de cline of Ireland Is not duo to the doe.iy of tlio Irish race. The surplus of births over deaths continues about as largo as at any time In re cent years , In proportion to the total popula tion. . When the fact Is taken Into considera tion that the country Is largely drained by emigration of Its young mon and women , It is astonishing that the surplus of births over deaths should average 'J. > , OJO annually , and that only the immense movement of tha brawn and sinew of the land to foreign coun tries , chlolly to the Unltod States , prevents a steady and rapid Increase Iu the population of the "Old Sod. " W # The Co saok is on the dofonslvo. Ho is hard pressed by aggressive democracy , and ho only strives now to hold his old citadel of Russia. The barbarous cruelties from which the Husslau Jews are suffering are really but nn incident of the doop-soatocl fear of other nationalities and higher civilisations which is common among Russians of nearly all grades of society. The hatred of the Jews is only a llttlo moro violent and manifest than the dislike of other non-MuscovIto races. The persecution of the Jews Is reported to uo extending already to almost all foreigners 1 : : greater or loss dosroo. Tno I'olos llrst , and afterwards all other nationaltlos , except the French , are being driven from the employ- mcntof the Kusslan government in Its railroad enterprises In Asia. The distinctively Russian press Is making war unon the Tartars as well as the Uormans and the Poles , and It is probable that a largo majority of the Russian people , and of the Russian ofllclals especial ly , would bo glad to see all foreigners and persons of other than Russian blood com pelled to leave the Czar's oinolre. Meanwhile - while , the university students of Russia and other enlightened and progressive elements uf that country's population feel most , keenly that the inlluonco of foreign liberty and foreign progress Is , above all other things , what Russia most needs. Cossack despotism and havngory are losing what llttlo sympathy or toleration has been felt In other countries for such , barbaric tyranny , but democracy Is gaining ground slowly In Russia Itsolf. # * There nro signs that the now cr.i In Persia , which has been hoped for so long , Is at last at tiund. The concessions made to European capitalists twenty or thirty years ago proved sources of loss rather than of prollt , owing to Lho hostile influences of all kinds of vested interests , but since the establishment of the Imperial bank and the decree declaring the ! vos and property of subjects Inviolable , the ondltion of affairs has boon Improving itoadlly. The shah himself , with a keen eye .o the main ohanco , has retained a largo per sonal Interest in the mining concessions that lave been granted , and there Is a fair pros- > ect of the construction of fair roads without nuch delay.
