Tiro-MtliK T.IMIT HAMOXH.
County Attorney Mahoney , in n com
munication to TIIK Hun , points out the
difficulties In his way of prosecuting the
saloon kcopora within the t\vo-mllo limit
for soiling liquor without license. Mr.
Mahoney very truthfully remarks that
while it Is mndo his duty to
proiocuto olTendora , the law does
not create him n dotoctlvo or
oxpoot him to procoo'l against violators
of law without evidence of their mis-
doinonnors. Ho therefore Invites par
ties who know that saloon keepers uro
soiling liquor without lli-enso to make
formal complaints and give him the
namoM of witnesses , usstirlng the public
that ho will not bo slow in prosecuting
the olTotidors.
Tlio county attorney also calls attention
to the fact that ho is without the neces
sary funds to pay the costs in such cases.
Tlio county commissioners cati rollov'j
him frrfm this diflioulty. There should
bo , f there is not , u special fund for the
use of the prosecuting ollicor in ornor-
"gondes not sulliclontly covered by law.
Probably if it became necessary to ad
vance any reasonable sums for the pur
posetho commissioners would cheerfully
remunerate the officer making the ad
vances. However , Mr. Mahoney should
invite the r.ttonlion of the board to the
nllo od violations of the license law and
ask for a special fund for prosecution.
Ho should llkcwlBO inform the board of
the proper method to pursue in securing
the licenses to the county fund. It is
clear that unless the matter is brought
to the attention of the commissioners
officially they will take no action. It is
intimated that the saloonkeepers have
boon informed that they will not bo dis
turbed and probably in return for the
coui-toay they will uho their inlluenco In
the coming elections as may bo desired
by the accommodating boaid of com
missioners.
However this may bo , the Important
fact remains that there nro anywhere-
from forty to fifty saloons in
the hitherto prohibited district.
The law oxurossly provides that saloons
shall pay n license of not less than $ .300
each in that district. The penalties
under the Slocumb law for violations of
its provisions are very snvoro. The
natural inference is that saloonkuoporH
would not bravo these penalties except
upon an agreement or understanding
implied or otherwise granting them im
munity from prosecution. The county
school fund is losing at tlio rate of S500
per annum upon each saloon which
should bo licensed , possibly $20,000 in
tlio aggregate for the year , and yet no
action whatever is taken to collect this
money , and so far as can bo judged none
is contemplated. This is all wrong and
the county commissioners wilt hear
something unpleasant drop if they con
tinue to neglect their duty in providing-
for the collection of the money duo the
county under the law from the roadhouses -
houses and saloons.
EFFKCTS OF THK A'Kll' TARIFF.
There Is a crrcat deal of fiction nnd
false representation regarding the
effects of the now tariff , which wont
into operation cloven months ago , and
it is well to have official statistics show
ing the results under it. These are
furnished in an article by the cniof of
the Bureau of Statistics at Washington ,
approved by Secretary Foster , and pub
lished in the Now York Recorder. The
act being designated "An act to reduce
the revenue , etc. , " Mr Brock shows
that this purpose has been effected ,
the decrease of receipts from
the customs during the tort months from
October , 1890 , to July , IS'Jl , inclusive ,
being $20.000 , ; ! ! ! , ns compared with a like
period of the preceding year. But the
duty on sugar was not romov.ed until April
1 ot the present year , and a comparison
of the four months following that date
with the corresponding months of 1800
shows the reduction in customs receipts
to have boon over $30,000,000.
During this period of ton months after
the enactment of tlio law the
imports of merchandise increased
nearly $21,000,000 as compared
with the corresponding months of the
previous year , and the value of inor-
chiuullho imported free of duty during
the respective periods was 47.23 per
cent and 31.09 per cent of the total im
ports during each period , it being Im
portant to remember that in tlio ton
months from October , 18S9 , to July , 1890 ,
inclusive , the value of the imports was
Iho largest In the history of the gov
ernment. The increase in the imports
or morcnnnulRO uumiuou iroo 01 duty ,
in the period Indicated , was about $100.-
000,000. Another very interesting' fact
stated by the chief of the Bureau
of Statistics is that during each of the
fiscal years 1880 and 1890 the duty col
lected upon our Imports was $3.02 per
capita of the population , while if the
duties for the twelve months of 1891
should continue as they have during the
four months since April 1 , the duty per
capita of population will bo $2.59 , or
$1.03 loss than under the old law , which
Is the smallest per capita duty since 1803.
Our foreign commerce increased to
the value , In round numbers , of $53-
000,000 during the ton months follow
ing the enactment of the present
tantt law , about $21,000,000 representing
the increase in imports and $32,000,000
the increase of exports. The average
annual increase of our foreign commerce
for the past ton years having boon about
$18,000,000 , it thus appears that the
augment ot this commerce for ten
months undur the now law has been
nearly throe times as great as the an
nual average Incroasa For the next ten
months the assurance is that the lu-
cronso will bo very much greater , since
Europe must have all of our surplus
broudstulTs and the opening of the Gor
man and French markets for our hog
products will add largely to our exports.
At the same time th > reciprocity ar
rangements entered into will muko en
larged markets for our products , partla-
larly In the Spanish West Indies.
Another valuable fcmturo of this ox-
liiblt is a showing by a comparison of
wholesale prices for the months of July ,
1890 and 1891 , that prices have de
creased .rather than ip.ereiksod. Cotton
cloth , printed cottons , Iron nails ,
stool nails , steel rails , binders'
Lwlno nnd sugar are quoted as
liavlng boon cheaper In July of this year
than in the same month nf 1890. Those
facts merit careful consideration , and
present nn argument In defense of the
existing tariff law which the opponents
of that measure will find It very difficult
to robut.
Tin : /ini'AACH or itncirnobtrr.
Tho.nnnouncoment IB made that the
president of Mexico IIIH appointed a
minister plenipotentiary to arrange a
commercial reciprocity treaty with the
I Til Hod States. It appears that this
action had boon expected at Washing
ton , an understanding having boon
reached shortly after the adjournment
of the last congress , between the Mexi
can minister and the State department ,
that the subject would bo taken up this
fall. The minister resident of Mexico
has , it seems , boon engaged in the
preliminary work of a treaty , and
as ho understands very thoroughly
what is required from experience In
the negotiations of the treaty made and
ratified during the administration of
President Arthur , but. which was ren
dered inoperative by the action of the
house of representatives , tlio diplomat
ist sent by the Mexican government to
perform this duty ought to find little diffi
culty in coming to an agreement The ac
tion of President Ola/ gives renewed ovl-
denco of his desire , hitherto plainly expressed -
pressed , to have established closer com
mercial relations between Mexico and the
United States , nnd as the present condi
tions are moro favorable to such a result
than wore thosn of olirht or nine years
ago it is reasonable to bo expected that
a satisfactory arrangement can bo ef
fected without great trouble or delay
That a fair and equitable reciprocity
treaty with our neighbor , republic , one
that will bo mutually advantageous , is to
bo desired it is presumed few will ques
tion. When the extent of that country's
trade Is considered , its proximity and
its possibilities , It would seem that
reciprocity with it promises larger ben
efits to the United States than can bo
derived from this policy with any other
of the republics of this hemisphere. As
it is our trade with -Mexico has been
steadily growingy but under existing
conditions it will bo a great many years
before our manufacturers can hope to
dislodge European competition , whereas ,
that might bo practically accom
plished in a very short time
under reciprocity. It is signifi
cant that every American interest in
Mexico is favorable to closer commercial
intercourse between the two countries.
The treaty with Spain wont into effect ,
in part , on the first of the present
month , and good results are expected
from it within a short time. Our experts -
ports to Cuba and Porto Rico in 1890
wore to the value of about $15,000,000.
They are likely to bo nearly double that
amount next year. The latest informa
tion regarding the treaty with Vene/.u-
ola is , that it has not been re
jected absolutely , but that the Ve
nezuelan government has asked that
certain modifications bo made necessary
to prevent a heavy loss of revenue which
it could not stand. Salvador is seeking
reciprocity with every probability of
securing it. That policy continues to
advance , and its progress will undoubt
edly bo accelerated when Mr. Blnino
returns to Washington , as it is now
expected ho will do , early in October.
IOWA members of the alliance will not
bo coaxed , bulldozed or tricked into tlio
third party movement. They will stand
by their own organization and permit
the politicians who seek to rauko a polit
ical muchino of the alliance to slough
off into Colonel Folk's southern con
glomeration. The Iowa farmer knows
lee much to bo hoodwinked by Oeala
platforms , Cincinnati conventions and
democratic maneuvers.
THK movement for a free kindergarten
and the organization of a Kindergarten
association is making headway. Within
a short time ono of thp loading advo
cates of tlio Froebol systcmji lady who
is in charge of an institution for the in
struction of teachers in Chicago will
visit Omaha aud deliver a public address
upon the interesting and important
topic of kindergarten instruction.
IF UNCLE JKKKY will call In'his rain
maker from Texas , whore people care
very little for water , and have him di
rect his time and moans to "smudging"
against early frosts.in this country , the
old man from Wisconsin can have the
Nebraska delegation for president in
1892 , provided of cour&o that the
smudges successfully stave oil frost until
after our corn matures.
LIC sentiment in this judicial dis
trict probably favors the ro-oloe-
tlon of the present district judges. The
republican and democratic judicial con
ventions should kcop this in mind and
not fall into the independent error of at
tempting to replace throe of the best
men on the bench by three aspiring pol
iticians who have yet to win their spurs
at the bar.
WAUD organizations for the discussion
of municipal affairs largely after the or
der of the Now England town mooting
should bo organized all over the city.
Nothing makes and keeps an official con
science so tender as the reflection that
neighbors and acquaintances are care
fully following the public acts of the of
ficer with the conscience.
THK success of the Douglas county

The KnglMh campaign for the election of ft
now house of commons has already practl
cally begun. Candidate * may not bo named
nor polls opened for mouths , or a jreur , to
como. Hut the men who nro to illsposo eco
co ml I ( lutes nro named , nnd the books wnlch
nro to govern the polling nro made up. The
registry system In Great Britain differ * In
iiomo roipoct * from that in vo uo hero , for
ono thing , In that the registering tnko plnco
so long before the voting. It Is , however ,
uorhaps oven moro than here , the llrst
skirmish ot the electoral battle , la wniol
very largely the fnto of the whoto contest Is
decided. On the 1st of August the overseers
published their lists of voters In various
classes. Thcso have boon posted at
the doors o' churches , public oftlces
nnd elsewhere , so ns to glvo nl
persons opportunity to Inspect them. For
three weeks they wore thus displayed , and
during that time claims might bo tiled for the
Insertion of now names or the removal ol
names no longer entitled to bo thoro. This
period of popular scrutiny and revUlon ex
pired on August" ! , and the lints were then
turned over to the registration courts. The
latter will bogln their work this week , con
sidering and Investigating carefully all claims
that hnvo bean Hied , and flnaliy revising the
lists In accordance therewith. This task
must bo completed by Oetooor 1Tho rolls
of voters thus prepared will como Into force
at the beginning of next year , and will form
the basis of the next general election.

Emperor William's pot project of n Central
European Oustomi league npponra doomed to
failure. Switzerland has definitely aud
curtly rejected the Invitation ot Germany to
enter thci zollvoroln. Her manutacturi ng In
dustries are already heavily handicapped by
German competition , and far from being de
sirous to extend increased facilities of access
and trade to her teutonic rivals , she hat re
solved to bar them out by me.ius ot a high
tan ft wall. It is practically certain that
Switzerland's rejection of the Berlin over
tures will encourage Italy to follow her ex
ample. For the Industrial and commercial
crisis In King Humbert's dominions Is too
ncuto to ndmlt of any treaty binding the
kingdom to n commercial union with Ger
many , thereby closing the prolltnblo French
markets to Italian produce. Nor 1s It by any
means certain that the zollvoroin recently
concluded between Germany and Austria ,
and so oxultlngly announced by Em
peror William ou the eve of his visit
to England , will receive that ratine.i-
tlon of the German rolchstng and of the
Austro-Hungarlan delegations which Is
requisite before the provisions ot the agree
ment can bo put Into legal force. All the
manufacturing interests of Austria aud Hun
gary nro hostile to the convention , which , in
affording free access into the dual empire of
Gorman goods , Involves disaster to their In
dustries. Nor Is antagonism to the agree
ment conllncd to Austrlnn manufacturers.
For It moots with nn oven stronger opposition
on the part of the important agricultural Inter
ests in northern , and above all , in southern
Germany. It is ns representative and mouth
piece of the powerful agricultural element
that Prlnco Bismarck Is to take his seat in
the Imperial parliament when it next moots ,
for the purpose of loading the popular oppo
sition to the unpopular convention , which
was dovlsod by Emperor William , not In the
interests of commerce and Industry , but with
the object ot binding the treaty powers moro
closely to his government In a political and
military sense.

The navigation of the Dardanelles Is again
looming up 0.3 n disturbing factor In Europ
ean politics. Under existing treaties the
control of tbo historic straits which connect
the waters of the Mediterranean with the
Bind : Sea is vested in the Turkish govern
ment. The straits are recognized as within
the territory and under the Jurisdiction of
the sultan , and they nro closed against war
vessels of every foroiga nationality. This
closure , whllo general In Its application ,
affects Russia vastly moro than any other
country , and it has been the occasion of a
controversy between the Russian and Turk
ish governments the conclusion of which
is full of sinister suggest ! vonoss. A
Russian vessel passing through the Dar
danelles to the Mediterranean had boon de
tained by the Turkish authorities , and for
this the St. Petersburg government de
manded satisfaction. The satisfaction has
been given. After a feeble attempt to Justify
the action of his ofllclals upon tbo ground
that tbo vessel detained was a transport , and
therefore within the prohibition of existing
treaties , the sultan is said to have made a
complete surrender of his position. An
apology hu * boon offered nnd a precedent
established the Issues of which are likely to
bo momentous. As the matter stands , Russia
nas scored larger privileges In the Darda
nelles thau uro accorded to any other nation.
A transoart U not exactly n man-of-war , but
it is the next thing to it , ana having forced
the ono concession , Russia will not bo slow
to Insist upon the other.

Messrs , Test and Llvoriiighouso have re
signed and their resignations tiuvo been ac
cented. Tills Is good as fur ns It goes. But
It does not go far enough. Sufllclout ovl-
deuce has bten brought against them to
justify their suspension , If not dismissal , by
the governor. And the governor ought have
long ago acted promptly , suspending them.
And ho ought to have sent back to them their
resignations , In which both of those men have
Lho Impudence to accuse and abuse the Board
of Public Lands and Buildings , and to repre
sent themselves as the Innocent victims of
this board. A simple nud plain resignation
ought to have boon demanded without denun
ciations ugomst the board , which sound
rather indecent In tbo mouths of such men as
Test and Ltveringhouso.

Whenever I play on the old guitar
The songs that my swuotneart taught me ,
\ly thoughts ao back to thu summer time
When llrst tu her tolls uliocaught mo ;
And once again 1 can bear the sound
Of her gleeful voice blown over
Tbo meadow , sweet with the scent of thyme ,
And pint : with the bloom of clover.
Iho faded ribbon Is hanging still
Where her dimpled lingers lied It
1 used to envy It stealing round
Her nee It , for she did not chide It ;
Aud the inlaid pearl that her ringlets touched
As she loaned above It lightly
jlow3 even now with a hint otgold
That It once reflected brightly.
Whether hnroyes were blue as the skies
On u noonday In September ,
Or brown like tboso of a startled fuwu ,
I can't for the world remember ;
lut when she lifted them up to mine
( know that my young lioirt United
li time to the tender tune she sang
And the airy chords she jingled.
Vet now , though 1 sweep thu dusty strings
By her girlish spirit haunted ,
Till out nf thu old guitar tlio re trips
A melody , blithe , enchanted ,
itv pulses kcop un their even way
And mv heart has ceasuu Its dancing ,
For somebody oUo slU under tun a poll
Of the tonga ana sidelong glancing.

The sheriff's deputies nnd Francis Gel-

mortgage on the crops. Last week ho
threshed his grain and brought a lot of Ilax
to this city , where ho sold It to J. B. Wright.
Jacoby heard of It before Wright had paid
Gollinger and Deputy McFarlnnd attached
the money. Four nunurcd bushels of oats
on the farm were also attached , but the
sheriff not wishing to remove It , took
Gellluaer's receipt for the grain and left It
there. The follow then wont to work ana
used and sold part of the grain , nnd when
Deputy Dillon arrived on the scene last uight
there were but thirty bushels remaining.
Gelllngcr claims that another man had a half
interest In the stuff.
