.H'STwhy the Cincinnati Commercial-

wrote a loiter to a Richmond paper a
few dnys buforo hia death in which ho
pave liis muttons for opposing the nom

whether the democratic pvrty can elect

the situation fairly sou it in ihis way.

Whom the present domooraur hoino
of ropre.iotit ittve * camu In the country
was promised u thorough
of every department of the
This was to bo done with the expecta
tion of finding capital for the democratic
campaign. Marly In the session several
invostl-ations were ordered , and al
though the worlc has not been c.irriodon
quite to the extent promised , the .oarch
for scandals has boon pretty nggrewl vely
pursued. Kvory hint or Intitr.iitlon of
anything wrong has received prompt nt-
tontion , and In every case with the
Bamo result. The scandal seoKora have
uniformly fulled to discover anything
that'could hoof value to t'lolr party.
Trilling Irregularities have boon dis
closed , hut nothing which could bo of
Borvlco In a political campaign. For
the object in view , therefore , the demo
cratic quest has been a failure.
Republicans claim for the national
administration a record of honesty Mid
olllciency unsurpassed in the history of
the country. There have boon instances
of incapacity on the part of public olll-
ccrs , but. taken as a whole the throe
years of the Harrison administration
present exceptional record of lldolity
to the nubile Interests and of Integrity
in all branches of the public sorvico.
It Is a record which calls for no apology
or defense , and In which republicans
may take pardonable prido. Under this
administration more money has been
received and expended than during any
ether three years of our history , except
the yoar.s of war , and every dollar is ac
counted for. The essential qualifications
for appointment under this administra
tion are capacity ana integrity , and
herein is found the explanation of the
general olllcloncy and honesty of the
public sorvico. Doubtless a few mon
not having those qualilloatKws have got
into tlio service. It would bo most ox-
trnordinti'-y if in so great an army of
olllcoholders there should bo no incapa
ble or unprincipled mon. But it ia en
tirely fair to say licit the n vertigo
standard bus never boon higher than
under the ll.irrison administiation. In
this respect it contrasts strongly with
its predecessor , under which hundreds
of mon of scandalous character received
appointments.
The republican party has nothing to
fear fioin an invoitignlion of the public
service. On the contrary it invites the
clohost scrutiny of every department of
the government , confident that tlio result -
sult will ro.lound to the honor of the re
publican administration and lo the ad
vantage of the party. Let the scandal
seekers put sue their search with all the
/.eiil and diligence they can commaiul.
Lot them go into every bureau and
branch of tlio public sorvico. It is their
right to do so , and their duty as well if
they believe there are any faults to bo
corrected. Meantime republicans may
regard the proceedings with entire com
placency , conliuont that there are no
sound jIs to bo found.
OUTLOOK.
There is nothing discouraging in the
figures concerning the mortgaged in
debtedness of Nebraska tabulated by
Labor Commissioner Andrea. When
their true significance id considered ,
they speak well for the liiuvnciiil condi
tion of the state. They oirplr.isizo the
fact that the mortgaged indebtedness of
Nebraska doe.s not stand as an evidence
of a lad : of prosperity. Investigation
has shewn that the indebtedness w.is in
curred chielly in the purchase of the
property mortgaged , and only in a small
degree for the improvement imd iniiin-
tenanco of property , while the indebted
ness for money borrowed on account of
losses sustained and general current ex
penses is comparatively small.
In reaching a just conclusion tin to the
financial condition of. a people engaged
in the development of aJiow country it
is necessary to keep in mind-tho fact
that a very largo proportion of the en
terprising settlers who mainly compose
the population came practically empty
handed. Poor in money but rich in
their equipment of courage and Indus
try , they entered a region that could
olTor thorn at the beginning nothing but
a generous soil. It would bo very
strange indeed if under such conditions
they should have been able in a few
years to improve tlioir properly and sur
round themselves with such comforts
and con venlonces as they have and at the
same time pay oil their mortgages. It
takes time to accumulate money in those
days in any legitimate pursuit , and the
people of Nebraska , in spite of manv
natural advantages , cannot bo expected
to got out of doot in a day. That they
are not making now Uobta to any consid'-
orublo extent is shown by the figures to
which wo have referred and in Ibis fact
there is encouragement. There cer
tainly does not seem to bo any reason for
uneasiness concerning the mortgaged
indebtedness of this Htito. :

The Chicago /liter OCCUH , spo.iklng of

other man now living , and his speeches

goal that it bo brought out in the form
of a vest packet compendium of useful
knowledge , bulled to the requirements
of tho.s'j who.io oi'cup.ulons won d mtiko
il inconvenient to carry around a largo

suited to thu needs of mugwumn.4 , most
of whon. are weak in thu logs and in
ether ways poorly adapted to carrying
freight. It goes ' without saving that
this book will bo the constant column-
ion of every man who dosirus to bo well
informed.
Mr. Cleveland's letters , speeches and
public papars would , If collected in their
proper order , constitute a curious exam
ple of what is known to science us the
"development hypothesis,1' but that
ether scientific theory , called "natural
selection , " would receive no support in
his case. If there may bo said to bo such

culiar relation which Mr. Cleveland
sitstaliis to his party. Mis collected writ
ings and apccohea will provo this , and if
they are faithfully reproduced they will
possess a grotesque and curious interest
for the student of politics.

Such an extraordinary season of rain
us that which now scorns to have como
to an end is an undoubted blessing in
many ways , notwithstanding that It has
been attended by some Inconvenience
and hardship , and oven by loss of life
and property. The farmorf have suf
fered temporary delay and naturally
begrudge llio time lost at this cril'eul '
season of the year , but somehow nature
seems to oven everything up in the long
run , and when she opens the ilood-gutcs
it is pretty twfo to assume that it is for
the general good in i.omo way. Apart
from tlio loss of lifo that has hero and
there occurred , and a comparatively
small number of cnsos of sovcro hard
ship caused by destruction ol properly ,
the recent rains will bo regarded with
complacency by most people now that
they tire past. The drenching which
the on rth has received may provo of
great honclll to the farmer ; his lands
may bo the more productive this year ,
and for years to come , on account of it.
Considered from a Minllurv point of
view , with especial relation to the cities
and villages , It is evident that the water
has produced good results. Impurities
have boon washed away , disease germs
have boon dissipated , and a state of
cleanliness has oiibucd Unit cannot fall
to bo benellcial to the public health.
No sooner had the rain slopped falling
than a strong gale sot in to drink up the
superabundant moisture and clear the
atmosphere of all foul vapors. The rains
and the gales have worked together ,
and who is wise enough to say that they
have not done moru good than harm:1 :
Tun president is expected to send to
congress at an early day a message rolu-
livototho transportation relations be
tween the United States and Canada.
It is understood that the message will
point out the existing inequalities
favorable to Canadian transportation
lines and will suggest legislation for
diminishing them to some extent. T.ho
transil-in-bond regulation will bo ono
of the mailers dwelt upon , and it is
intimated thai the president will bus-
tain the view Hint the Canadian rail
ways receive vastly more benefit from
llio United States than the triinsporla-
lion routes of this country gain thereby.
Another mailer to which reference will
bo made is the discrimination against
vessels of the United States in the
canals of Canada. It is well known
that while Canadian vessels enjoy Ihe
same priviligcs us these of Ibis country
in p.issing through our canals and
waterways American vessels are re
quited to pay tolls and penalties in
making use of Canadian canals. At
tention has repcaledly been called lo
this inequality without result. Tl-.o
whole question of the transportation
relations between the two countries is
one of very great and urgent importance
and there will be widespread interest in
the p/esidoiit's rccjiniiiemlations re
garding it. It is understood that ha
will not advise any extreme legislation ,
such us has been suggested looking to
the practical shutting out of the Can
adian railroads from the transportation
business with the Uniled States they
now enjoy , but will recommend a plan
Unit will bo moro equitable to American
interests than that now in operation
and which will not necessitate changing
the interstate commerce law. The
president will certainly perform a very
great service if ho shall provide a satis-
faclory solution of thin question ono
that will bo just to Amoric.m railroad
interests without doing away with the
Canadian competition , wliicli a largo
number of our own people in Now Eng
land and the northwest regard us highly
important to their welfare.
IT is currently reported that members
of the school board admit that there is
room enough for them in the city hall
building , but they are not satisfied with
tlio way the rooms are partitioned. If
this bo true it is high time for liio board
to speak out. The changes they want
can be made much cheaper now while
the contractor is finishing the building
than after the building lias been turned
over to and .accepted by the city. It is
also essential that all important changes
bo made before the radiators , chundo-
liors and electric himna are in place.
Besides this , the board should not dilly
dally about securing bids for furniture
and lighting fixtures which are not in
cluded in the contracts luado by the
council.
IT is now proposed to settle the great
granite strike by arbitration , the manu
facturers and the unions having agreed
to this method of adjudication. To refuse -
fuse lo submit to arbitration is generally
conbtruod as a refusal to make any con
cessions whatovo.1 and results in the loss
of whatever moral support may have
previously boon given by the public lo
llio pirty : rofusln ; but the fact remains
that each side almost invariably de
mands that the ether shall make all the
concessions. If the parties to the dilll-
culty could meet as friends having a
common Interest and not as enemies do-
larminud lo got the bolter of each ether ,
there might bo some virtue in arbitra
tion. Bui it usually fails.

Nr.w Voiuc , May 10. A Washington special
to the Post says : The international silver
conference olds fair from present appear
ances to bo hold within the noxr , sixty days ,
though tbo place bas not yet boon decided on.
Ono element of delay has been the fact that
the correspondence has boon conducted by
mail instead of by cable. It Is likely that the
place chosen will bo thn capital of ono of the
lessor powers , so that no great political sig
nificance can bo given to tbo mooting. Tbo
names of the main representative : have not
been made known nnd it Is doubtful whether
the president has his list made out.
Several suggestions are canvassed , how
ever , in a manner which would indi
cate tliat Iho president bas boon under ad
visement. So far the indications point to
Henry W. Cannon of Now York as u repre
