In ono week recently vessels sailing from American and Eu ropean ports carried to the southern nml western portions of Africa 000,000 cases of gin , 800.000 iloui Johns of rum , 110,000 barrels of rum , 21,000 butts of niinv0,00l : ! ) cases of brandy , 68,000 cases of whisky and other intoxicants in con siderable quantities , thu total value of which was about $5,1200,000. There Boeins to be a remarkably large nnd por- Bistont thirst in Africa. The consump tion of hard drink * could scarcely be larger If the dark continent wore under it prohibitory law. THK silver bullion now in the treas ury would if coined produce $102,055- 000. According to ttio director of the mint it would take nearly two yours and a half to coin this bullion , without doing any other coinage. The estimated stock of Hllvur In the wo.'ld outside of the United States is more than sixty times the iimount of bullion In thu tioasury , Suppose we had tlio free and unlimited I'oimigo of silver the government could not , with Its present mint facilities , sup. jly silver money to the people HH rapidly us the Increase of cunency goes on under existing conditions , The cap-ioity of the mint la only about $10,000,000 annually , nnd the addition to the currency during the fiscal year oiuled Juno 'M was $103- 000,000. The people who uro oilllng for more circulation would not II nd their uotiuuul met by fi'ou silver coinage. TO It'HHM IIKLOXnS TllK CHKD1TT Ex-Speaker Hood having claimed for the republicans of the house of repre sentatives the credit of defeating free silver legislation , some papers have questioned their right to the claim , holding that the credit belongs rather to the sound money democrats. Nobody will withhold from the latter the com mendation they deserve for earnest ami porslstont work ngalnst free silver. They labored wisely and well , showing at every stage of the light the courage of their convictions. But the cause for which they battled could not have won without the help of the republicans. When the question of considering the free silver bill was lust before the house the democrats opposed to It mustered 04 votes , while tho.so favoring the measure numbered 117. Had the republicans re frained from voting the Stewart bill that passed the senate would have boon considered and without the votes of re publicans against it would have passed the house. It Is well remembered that wnen the question of considering the Bland bill was up In March there was n. general fooling of anxiety regarding the action to bo taken by thu republicans. Many members of the party in and out of congress believed that It would bo good politics for the republicans to allow the democrats to make their record on silver and give the president an oppor tunity to veto a free coinage bill. They might have given valid reasons for such a course , but after duo deliberation it was decided to bo the duty of the party to vote its convictions. The view that prevailed was that expressed by ox- Speaker Hood when ho said : "What wo must do is that which Is best for the country , and that wo stand ready to do under all circumstances. " Beinir op posed to the Irue mid unlimited coinage of silver because that policy would be disastrous to all interests , the repub licans in the house of representatives manfully stood by their convictions and defeated free silver. Without denying , therefore , whatever credit belongs to the anti-free coinage democrats for their sturdy light , fa'r- mindcd men must concede that the greater share of the credit for the do- font of free silver belongs to the repub licans of the house. Had they been governed solely by considerations of political expediency ; hud they been dis posed to lot the democrats make a rec ord on silver regardless of the possible olTect upon the financial and business affairs of the country ; had they , in short , subordinated every other con sideration to that of making political capital , unquestionably a free silver bill would before this time have boon in the hands of the president. But the repub lican party it a party of principles. It was established , as Mr. Heed well said , for the purpose of carrying out princi ples , and there has never been a time in its history when it failed to respond to the call of duty or to courageously main tain its convictions of right ana Its judgment of what is for the best inter ests of the whole people. It is undeniable that the country is indebted for the defeat of frno silver in this congress to the straightforward course of the republicans of thn house of representatives , who put usido every thing but the question of public welfare 'and backed tlioir principles with their votes. In doing this they made n record for their pJ.rty which ought to strengthen it in the confidence of the people. TllK Sl'KCUtj.l. U : > . ! TtVK. Washington dispatcho. rjport that a tremendous influence is being bought to bear upon the senate to prevent the passage of the anti-option bill at this session. Everywhere the influence of the speculators can bo oxortou t-j any advantage it is being crowded to the utmost , point. The gamblers in focd products who constitute the in tin sup port of the conimo-cial bodies in the trade centers are represented at the na tional capital by shrewd men who are amply supplied with moans to make their influence felt. What they lao'c in argument to demonstrate thtit it is a good thing to gamb'o ' in the food of the poopio and to keep up a constant warfare - faro between "bulls" and ' 'boars" is made up for by such courtesies and atten tions as the trained lobbyists about congress - gross know where and how to extend seas as to produce the desired result. It is possible that the course Doing pursued against the bill may result in its defeat. It is said that there are senators who fool compelled to vote for the bill in tlio semite , but who would like to have some method devised to release them from Its support. Senators should real ize that their action on this measure will bo regarded with keen Interest by their constituents , and those who vote for the spocul itors against the people will find It no easy matter to justify their conduct , at any rate to constitu encies largely agricultural. This is a matter In which nearly 2o,000,000 of poopio engaged in ngrlsultural produc tion in the United States are deeply in terested , and they would not easily for got nor readily forgive the rejection of what they most earnestly believe to bean an entirely reasonable and defensible demand. Nor are the prolucoru alouo in iihlilng this legislation. Every person who can understand that the speculative manipulation of the markets , the gam bling in products which necessarily ignores the law of supply and donnntf , must in the very nature of thing * pro duce abnormal and illegitimate condi tions , favors the proposed legislation. It Is as important to the consumers as to thu producers that gambling In food products bo slopped and the markets be freed from the unsettling olTuct-i of ille gitimate speculation. This Is a matter , therefore , in which thu whole people : ire concerned , and against their inter ests are arrayed a few gamolors In the various commercial bodies of the coun try .1 class of mnn who for the moat part have.little claim to consideration , since they do nothing to advance the material " prosperity of the country. . ' ' / ' The friends of anti-option legislation , being aware of the 'influence that is being brought to bear to defeat them , it is presumed are not idle. They should spare no olTort to bring the iinti-optlon bill to a vote In the senate at the pres > sent session. There is no bound reason why action on the subject should bo postponed , and it might bo harder to overcome the inlluonco of the spocu- hi tors at the noxtsossion than at the pres ent one. The log'Ultition Is demanded In the interest of all classes except the gamblers , and it c.an as well ba provided now as horoaftor. AX V.M'.llli Al The county committee made n very serious blunder In making the appor tionment of delegates in the county con vention. As a matter of right and equity the apportionment should have been on the same basis as adopted by the state committee. Each ward and precinct should bo entitled to at least ono delegate and ono for every 100 re publican votes cast for Attorney General Hastings , or .ludgo Post. If that basis is deemed more equitable. But the committee - too contented itself with the old appor tion mont , mndo without any basis and without rlvymo or reason. Every ward in the city , whatever its republican vote may bo , is given nine delegates , and every precinct In the county is given five. Clontarf precinct , which only polled five republican votes , is given five delegates. That U nothlne more nor loss than a premium for bood'ors. That was shown nt the last convention , when the delegation from that precinct was on the market to the highest bidder. This also applies to E-\st \ Omaha pro ine"- " , which had loss than twenty-five ropu lican votes at the last election. Clon tarf and East Onnhu , with about thirty votes , will have ton delegates in the county convention , and the 1.50" ) repub lican voters of the Fourth ward will bo represented by nine delegates. Such glaring discrepancies are bound to cause dissension and discontent if they are to bo repeated when the congress ional and county tickets are nominated. Our apportionment and our primary elections must bo fair in order to insure the undivided support of the rank and file of the party. TllK IIUIWHXSOV TllH I'ilKSIDKA'Cr. In his Woodstock address Secretary Tracy dwelt at length upon the growing need of a change in the system by which the duties of the president of the United States arc performed. When Washing ton was president and tlio poopio num bered only about ! ( ,000,000 it was not dim- cult for ono man to attend to all of the details - tails of the presidential oflicc ; but a government for 0-5.000,00'J poopio in volves presidential duties vastly larger , and the time will soon como , if it has not already arrived , when the president will bo under the necessity of dolopitlng to others a largo proportion of tha work which ho now transacts himsolf. Under the present system ho must attend to a great number of minor appointments to ollico ; ho must hoar and decide upon all applications for pardonho ; mustoxtimine nnd approve or disapprove hundreds of acts of congress ; ho mu t review the findings of courts-martial and supervise the details of business in the executive department. The country has outgrown the system that was established in tlio infancy of our institutions and it is no longer pos sible for the president to bo parso.nally in touch with the poopio as the early presidents were without sacrificing in terests moro impotunt to the public than those upon the details of which ho is now obliged to bestow so much atten tion. During tlio eight years of Wash ington's administration lie nvido only 100 civil service apmlntinont-s , approved but , ' ! "S acts of congress and issued only fifteen pardons. Last year tharo were ] , QoO appointments in tlio bauds of the president and o32 applications for par dons , while the numbar of laws pussoil by congro3 * w.u about 2,01)3. S -otary Tracy says that the president must av erage four and a half appointments ouch business day of his administration. When it is rjinombarod that there are many applicants for o'loh appointment and tint o.ich applicant is backed by friends wbo must receive duo considera tion it will bo soon that this duty ulono is enough to keep the proidont busy. It is suggested by Secretary Tracy that some of the burdens of the presidential ollico can bo thrown upon the shoulders of the cublnot olllcors , making the heads of the various dop.irtmont ) responsible for appointments in tlioir several branches of the public service and sub mitting all questions of pardon to the attorney general. No special legislation is needed to bring about the change proposed. Tlio president has the right to shift a por- tipn of his burdens upon his cabinet and the time is near at hand when ho will Jind himself compelled to do so. This will give him moro time for thn consid eration of important matters of general public concern and will thus bo to the advantage of the poopio. AT MiNNKAl'oMS all the street rail way motor wires are suspended from iron polos. The entire ton miles of street railroad between Minneapolis nnd St , Paul is provided with iron polos. How much longer are our streets to re main incumbored with the unsightly wooden poles planted by 110 street rail way company ? The ordinance nuthor- i/.ing the running of electric motors pro vides expressly that iron poles shall bo used on every paved street. That ordin ance remains a dead letter , like every other ordinance relating to frnnuhlscd corporations. Months ago wo were promised that the wooden poles would be taken ofT I < 'urnnm street , but not a sign of an iron polo Is yet visible. The fact is that the company has had ample time to carry out the provisions of the ordinance on every paved street and it should ba made to comply witli its ob ligations in this respect on every busi ness thoroughfare during the present season , A COJU'ANY has recently boon organ- l'/.od in Minnesota for the purpose of In suring what tire known to insurance men as "under-average" lives ; that is , lives which have been rejected by the regular companies as poor risks. This Is by no mouns a new departure- life insurance , as the plun was introduced in this coun try a hundred years ago and has been In operation in England for many yours. Uut it appears that very llttlo has boon done in this line of llfo insurance in the United States since the fuiluro of the American Popular company in 1877. In Europe there nro'many comp uilo.s Which huvo departments for impaired rlsus and numerous others which "rate up" their customer * that Is , they charge the s mo promiutt 1 they would for a healthy risk s/fyqral / years older. The now plan of tlt > > Minnesota company loaves the luni f , of the llfo an open question , and jtmly tho. < o lives which prove Ihoinsclv Hniu.ilroil are treated as such In the1nnl , / } deduction , while those that provdsihomsolvcs healthy are given the benefit of thu demonstration when the polley'b'ofcomos duo. It is estl- nrited that not''iriuro ' than Inlf of the population is adijiffnlblo under the rules of the ordinary "comptnlos and that 10 per cent of thl'll0 ' applications are re jected. Hence it foliow.i tint there is a largo field for the ' 'undor-avorago" sys tem. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ NKIIHASKA'S criminal record con tinues to Improve as the returns como in from the baok counties. The tabu lated report to the State department , prepared by Nebraska's deputy labor commissioner , credited Hamilton county with four murder trial and no convic tions In five yoaiy. It now uppoa-s that there never has boon but ono trial for a capital crime in that county , and that the criminal escaped from juil after his conviction and has not been roe ptured. The report referred to was misleading , as well as grossly iu- nocuratp. It stitod that there had boon olghty-Uiroo murder trials and fifteen convictions , which might betaken taken to moan thut sixty-eight persons charged with capital crime had boon found innocent. The truth is that many of them were sentenced to im prisonment for Hfo or for a term of years. The administration of the law in Nebraska is not so iuolllciont as the report would sooni to indicate. The total number of trials has now boon reduced by twenty-six , and there are many counties yet to hoar from. DUKIXO the fiscal year ended .Tuno SO the number of miles of railroad track laid was 1,300 , showing a dcclinn of 23 per cent as compared with 1891. It is predicted by the liailroud A'jc that -1,000 miles of track will bo laid this year in this country , and it proves by reference to past years that this will bo about a fair average. Most of the construction of the present year will be confined to short lines built to fill out existing systems. IT is high journalism in the World' Jlemld to call Mr. Herr a "liar" and a "clown.

" Another comes from the Lincoln News : "One weak spot in the record of a candidate , uuuor the existing conditions , mutu easily cause defoat. The success of the party is of far moro importance than the satisfaction of individual ambition. Candidates should be selected with n view to their availability , and it should not bo necessary to warn the party to tight shy of stampedes at the state convention. " And the West Point Republican speaks plainly : "Ono of the worst features of the republican party organization Is tha hoirgish- ness that pervades its wouldbo party loaders who usurp all the representation and emolu ments to bo had , never giving it a thought that there are many whoso hard worn within party lines entitle them to some recognition. However , every clog has his day. " If Judge Maxwell wilt make the race for governor , it Is said ho can have the support of the York county delegation. The harmony in the independent ranks still continues to make itself manifest. The Holdrepo Progress , an ulllanea organ , is tak ing a hand In helping to unlto the party. It says : g'\Vo have no desire to interfere In the light between Mr. Burrows and Mr. Van \ Vyck.Vo will say , however , that we have in our possession proofs of the treachery of Mr. Van W/cK that would eternally brand any man as n traitor to any cause and wo do not hava to go outside of the old Second con gressional district.

What wo have is at present known to but eight persons , as far as wo know , and wo are ono of the eight. " Perhaps as a result of this nwful revela tion which is to como , the Hayes county delegation to the independent state conven tion has bean instructed for John II. Powers for governor. Eric Johnson Is another harmonious In dividual who makes this vicious stab with his pen at J. IX Chamberlain and W. II. Decb : "Tho gontlomou named have been manipulating the political \ > i-os in regular old party style for the congressional nomi nation.

" Mr. Smalls nlso quotes Governor Uoyd's assertion that ho ( Boyd ) had conclusively demonstrated thut ho was the strongest man in his party in the state , and then Mr. Smalls adds ; "Ho was strong like Sampson ( when not under Delilah's Influence ) , who pulloJ down the temple aud ho was under It. George P. Marvin , however , comes to Hoyd's reacuo nnd says : "Governor Uoyd has given it out that the democrats of No- Urusku would nominate a straight ticket this full. Governor Hoyd U richt.

"When the Vundcrvoorts linro nil loft the ranks uf the republicans , it will bo n grand old parly Indood. Hasten thu day' . " Thus shouts the Beaver Vnlloy Tribune. Under the henJ of "Monumental Foolish- no s , " Erasmus M. Corroll of the Hnbron Journal observes : "Tho action of the state republican central committee In calling the state convention ns onrly ns August 4 Is simply monumental foolishness nnd bare , bleak , balu-hoaded lack of political coed sense. Even ordinary 'horso' sense ought to hnvo Indicated to the committee thnt such uimoccoisnry art ! unseemly haste was do- flctont In oven the simplest elements of po litical generalship. It Is nt least n month or six weeks too soon. The poopio are not yet road } * for state conventions. It is too soon to proclpltnto the stnto campaign on the over worked nnd never re warded country press. Uut worse tban all also , the utato central committee hai no business to precipitate ( as their action will do unless recalled ) the county campaigns. It would naturally bo supposed that the blttor experiences of the past would show the committee the glaring lack of wisdom hi holding conventions too soon and baforo the conventions of opposing parties.

Bowlby , n Crete editor , would like to have the democratic nomination for float representative from Gage and Saline counties , but . The independents of the Fifteenth son- atonal district have nominated William Gray of Ord in spite of the fuct that ho Is charged with riding on a railrotd pass. Ben S. Baker said yeuorany that ho was not n guocrnntoriul candidate in the souse of goinc out and ranking a light to secure the nomination , but that if the republicans of this county placed ninety-four dolojratos nt his disposal with instructions to secure the nomination ho would go down to the state convention anil got it and thorn make a light to win. lie said that ho was not financially able to relinquish his present onlco ns United States aistrict attorney for that of governor with out n thought , uut that the honor attaching to the latter position was something thrtl no man , oven thouch poor , would disregard.
