IT SKKMS that the. lion. William R. Morrison of Illinois is one of the few eminent democrats who have not yet had nn opportunity to decline a position in JMr. Cleveland's cabinet. IN THK distribution of the political plums it is to bo hoped that the now administration will not forgot that there is on earth at present u. man named Wayne MacVcagli. Though modest and retiring he is still with us. IP THK Canadian tories carry out their plan of .driving . all of the annexationists - tionists out of ollico upon the ground that they are guilty of Treason they will Jlnd themselves with more traitors on their hands -jhan they will know what to do with. TESTIMONY in the whisky trust , in vestigation goes to show that the trust Js capitalized at Sr.,000,000 , , owns all the property it controls and is not a trust at "nil , but a mere harmless means of "doing nwuy with destructive competition. " i Tills la almost pathetic. IT IB just beginning to dawn upon Borne impetuous Americans that perhaps the wislios of the native Ilawaiians themselves are entitled to a little con sideration in deciding the question of annexation. It is not best to bo in too great a-hurry In matters of this kind. THK kick of Clarkson against the np pointmont of Judge Jackson has brought the Insolent swashbuckler more notoriety than ho could have acquired in any other way. Ho has been hold up to rldi 'culo ' by almost the entire republican press of the country , but as it keeps his name before the public ho doubtless enjoys it. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ IT IS positively denied by the Chicago newspapers that any discrimination has Ijoen made against Now York in the allotment of space to exhibitors. Ol course such discrimination would bo su premely foolish nnd short sighted , the moro BO because the feeling bet ween Now York and Chicago in relation to the fait has been none too friendly. THK question of the hour in Min nesota is , wliat will the legislature do with the bill providing for the taxation of unused railroad lands ? There are it northern and western Minnesota 5,500 , 000 acres of mtoh land which are hold for speculative purposes und are exempt empt from taxation. The question is i largo ono and Is growing moro Impor taut every year. SPEAKING of the distressing recorc of death caused by want in Londoi this winter a contemporary says tha ' 'there is something terribly wronj , In society when children are per mitted to Btarvo.

The relief needed could bo provided if the rich did not persistently close their oyet to the mis ery prevailing among the poor A TKUM us president of the United States vastly increases u man's earning capacity. President Harrison has been offered $10,000 a year by ono magazine publisher for ono short story each month , and another maga/.ino has offered him $2,500 for ono brief political urtlolo. lie has also been offered $10,000 , to write , a law book , and many lluttoring proposals of a similar character reach him every day as liia term draws to a close. But the president will probably settle down to a law practice that will bo sulHolently remunerative to keep the wolf from the door. ANOTIIKH Instance of the success of the foreign policy of the present admin istration Is mipplied In the case of Mr. MOVB , an American merchant , who was arrested In Ilaytl nnd kept for Borne time in prison without a trial. lie appealed to this government for reparation und the case was promptly urged upon the atten tion of the Iluytian government , backed up by the presence of a war steamer in the waters of the black republic. The effect was immediate and negotiations are in progress for u settlement that will atone for the wrong done an American citizen and teach an other wholesale lesson to foreign govern ments. The administration of President Harrison has made a most honorable record in maintaining the rlghta of American citizens abroad , and It Is to bo hoped that the Incoming on will endeavor to emulate it.

Wo reproduce this specimen brick of > oliUcal perversity as ono of the evi dences of the decadence of our party mdor thu demoralizing and debasing In- luenco of a venal local press and the corporation crib-fed horde that gets its solo inspiration at railroad headquarters , .t is this class of dehorned cattle that befouls the republican party and makes ts pledges of reform and good govorn- nent a source of derision. York county is of nil others the last ilaco for any so-called republican paper ; o sneer at railway regulation , the ubo- Ition of passes and other reforms iledged by the party to. the people of Nebraska in two successive campaigns. Six years ago York county could bo janked on for from 1,200 , to 1,500 major ity for the republican ticket national , state and county. Today the republicans ire in u minority and only succeed when ; ho democrats and populists fail to fuse. Six years ago the bulk of the 'armors of York county were staunch republicans. What made them leave the party ? What keeps them away from it now ? The substitution of rall- roadism and monopolylsm for ropubll- junisni. The utter disregard of party pledges to lighten burdens of the pro- ilueerji and stem the current of corrup tion in which the leaders of the party liavo been wallowing. TTow Is the party over to regain popular confidence ? How is it over going to induce the sturdy old republican farmers to re turn to the fold ? Is it by upholding the corporation cormorants and venal vampires who have sapped the life blood of the party and made it almost a stench in the nostrils of decent men ? Or is it by driving the horde of boodlers and cappers to the rear and letting the hon est rank and file come to the front to redeem the party by carrying out its pledges and showing it to ba worthy to rule the state ? o/Bs/.ur JA" TIU ; The democratic party of the country is now officially apprised that Judge Gresham Is to bo secretary of state in the Cleveland administration. It is not surprising to find that most of the men prominent in the party are not at all pleased with the selection. Judge Gresham has been a lifelong republican and does not now profess to bo a domo- c int. lie is in sympathy with the tariff views of Mr. Cleveland , .but this alone can hardly bo hold to make him a demo crat. Whatever public honors ho has enjoyed came from the re publican party. IIo was , in the cabinet of President Arthur , first i\s post master general and then as secretary of the treasury , and ho was appointed to the judicial position ho now occupies as a republican. Men who have always boon democrats , fighting for the princi ples of the party under nil circumstances and conditions , are justified in complain ing at the bestowal of the most impor tant cabinet ofllco upon a man who has been doing battle against thorn nearly his entire lifetime. It may bo said that the action of Mr. Cleveland in this matter is character istic , but It Is none the loss an affront to the old-lino democrats who had reason to expect that the next administration was to bo distinctively democratic in all respects. It was said during the cam paign that Mr. Cleveland proposed , if elected , to pursue a different course from that wliioh marked his first administra tion. There were to bo no favors shown , so it was proclaimed , to any but tried ind true democrats , and the announce- nent had the effect to rally the rank ind file of the democracy to the sup- > ort of the ticket. In the appoint ment of .Judge Gresham this promise ms been bfokon , and It supplies 11 reason for expecting that It will not bo the only case in which the assurance given the party In the campaign will bo disregarded. It lias been said that the design in this ap pointment is to put Judge Grushum In a favorable position for making the presl- dontul rnco in 1890. If there Is aiiysuoh _ plan or idea it is an additional reason for the dissatisfaction of the old-lino democrats. There win nn necessity for Mr. Cleve land going outside of his party to select u secretary of state. A score of demo crats could , ba named who are fully qualified tD fill that position ably and , worthily. Nobody questions the cnpn- bllltlos and the ar high character > of Judge Gresham , but It would be absurd to say that there ito not men in the democratic party who are his peers in thoao respects , It Is re ported that a strong protest will proba bly bo made to the president-elect against this appointment , but 'if this should bo formally done there is not the least likelihood that It would have any effect. The selection of Judge Gresham was doubtless made by Mr. Cleveland without any outside sugges tion nnd after careful deliberation , and ho IB not the sort of man to reconsider his action at the behest of any number of protcstunts. Very likely ho has BOino Idea of reforming hose democratic- party , but if so the method ho hat adopted hi this case Is | , . very Htiro to make the tnik n m-jst dltlk'ultnno. It can liavo no other result than to intensify the hostility of n num ber of loaders toward him , nnd It U altogether doubtful whether It will attract to the party a ? many now voters as will bo driven from it. Mcanwhilo It is to bo said that Judge Grcflham will undoubtedly discharge the duties of sec retary . of atato ably and creditably , ft is not known that ho is especially learned in international law and he ha ? had no opportunity to acquire n knowl edge of diplomacy , but ho may be ex pected to rapidly equip himself in both respects. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ INVKHTiri.lTlOX. In view of the Imperative need of the greatest possible precautions against in- feetious diseases in Chicago during the exposition year , the indifference shown by the authorities of that city , as dis closed by the Investigations made by a committee of the Illinois legislature ' appointed to look into the sweating system , is llttlo short of criminal. The committee holds the city health department responsible to n largo degree for the present condition of the sweating shops , dis no adequate meas ures have been taken to clean out the filth in the streets and alleys whore these places abound. "For ex ample1 says ono member of the commit tee , "tho alloys In the southwest section of the city , between Halstod nnd Canal streets , are in n horrible condition. In the rear of every shop wo went into was a pile of garbage which had not boon touched for weeks , and the sanitary condition - dition of the buildings was execrable. Tiot ono shop where four Hoard wore crowded with human beings there was but ono small sink , and this was so full that its fumes permeated the building. I asked the representative of the health department why they allowed this garbage to accumulate , nnd ho stated'it was the fault of the contrac tors , who did not live up to their con- tracts. " Tlio conclusion of this member of the investigating committee was that "there must bo a total lack of dis- eiplino in the department. " Much was disclosed by the investiga tions of the committee that proved con clusively how urgent Is tlio need of sanitary reform of a vigorous kind in the city which many millions of people tlBl will visit during the coming summer. The health of the whole conn- Bltl try may bo endangered by neglect of the swarming ' tenement houses in which the sweating system is practiced amid filthy surroundings that can hardly fail to breed disease. It is idle to say that no olfectlvo remedy for such a state of af fairs can bo applied. The report of the state factory inspector of Now York shows that tlio evil can bo prevented by the enforcement of law. The anti-sweat- ing law has been In force only a few months in that state , und yet the Inspector says that It has proven most satisfactory in checking the abuses which wore daily growing greater in the crowded districts of the metropolis and some other cities in that state. The en actment and enforcement of asimilar law in , Illinois would go a long way toward decreasing the dangers that will lurk in the Exposition .city this year , but if the health authorities of the city would do their duty a great deal could bo accom plished in the meantime. The whole country has an interest in tljis matter and may bo expected to watch Chicago pretty closely. PENSION OfPICK TK.lNSFKll. Every old soldier who is drawing a pension from the government Is inter ested in the proposition made in the form of an amendment to the pension appropriation bill , to transfer the pen sion ollico bodily to the' War department. Discussing this proposition In the house n few days ago Representative Grout of Vermont said that ho had felt that at a seasonable time and under proper con ditions the transfer of the pension oflleo to tlio War department might bo at tended with no disadvantage to the pensioner and with decided advant tngo to the public Ho thought , indeed , that it might oven bo attended with advantage to the pensioner him self , "because it would take the subject of pensions out of the domain of politics and would disarm much of the criticism which Is now directed against the pres ent system upon the ground that it is continually in politics and affected by political considerations. " But this proposition , If not now un- tinioly , Mr. Grout remarked , Is associ ated with others which arouse the sus picion of the old soldier and the friends of the old soldier that something besides an honest administration of tlio ITfw is aimed at. The amendment provides that the president shall detail an olllcof who while acting as commis ils sioner of pensions sliall have the rank and pay of a colonel. Under such a law the president might appoint some citizen of the United States a second lieutenant nnd as soon as ho was oDnllrmod might detail him to take charge of the pension olllco. This would not remove the ad ministration of the ollico from polities. 1s. In order to accomplish that lt _ is neces sary to place the duties of the pension > ollico in the hands of a permanent head of a pormunont bureau in the War department , instead of providing for a now head with every change in the national administration. Another * feature of the proposed change is to loin away with the local examining boards , of which there are now 1,235 , and In place of them have a board at Washing ton to consist of 120 physicians , ap pointed from the country at largo Pjy the secretary of war , whoso duty it would bo to o.xamino pension claims and fix the rating of pensioners. It is not to bo doubted that political influence would have a great deal to do with the appointments on this bj.trd , nnd it is en tirely safe to assume that with Colonel Lament as secretary of war , selected for the position with upecial reference ton overhauling the pension lists , the largo majority of the board of modlcal exam iners would bo democrats whoso views regarding pensions would be In entire harmony with these of the secretary of war. The desirability of dlvoroing the pen sion oillce abjolutely from politics and of placing U upon a practical bushiest > * basis will bo universally admitted. As was said by Mr. Grout , "As uftnn as the howl of potltlca/klfilluenco / IH wised the pensioner nlonar.sMfforo. " It la there fore obviously * ' ' ! ! ! his Interest to put the < > nfc/ / | out of politics , but manifestly till * would not bo the re sult of the democratic proposition con tained In the nnif iulmonl for the trans fer of the pension nolllco. It Is hardly probable that 'proposition will prevail - vail in the presouVpongress , but It may bo expected todo HO In the next congress , so that the secretary of war under the now ndmlnlstrntjijj'mny { hnvo the fullest possible opportunity to revise the pen sion lists nceordiiig' to domccrntlc Ideas Tun proposal ot Mr. Cleveland to have n business men's administration does not seem likely to bo rcnllxcd , If ono may judge from the general character of the cuTl The branch of the government which makes the greatest demand for the ap plication ! 1 of business principle.- ) the Postolllco department , and for postmas ter general Mr. Cleveland has selected Ills ! old law partner , Mr. Hissoll , who Is undoubtedly a very good lawyer , but not therefore necessarily a good busi ness man. Even the fuel that nche hem lias been successful In making money , as Mi1. Cleveland himself has done through fortunate investments , does not prove that ho has the practical ability to properly manage so practical ulN. department as that of the po.-ttollloo. Nobody . will pretend that either Giesham otSi Carlisle is a business man , and Hoko Smith is not known to have any remark able ability for practical alTairs. Colonel Lament . ' is essentially a man of business , but . there is no particular need of a man of that kind in the War department , . where everything is routine. It is to bo hoped Mr. Cleveland will bo more successful in finding busi.1" ness men for the Interior and Agrioul- tural departments , otherwise there will bo reason for disappointment. It may be observed that the now administration will , have this advantage , that it will en ter upon its duties with every depart ment of the government bolter organ ized . and in hotter working order than for many years , and if it wisely preserves - serves the system that has porvailed during the past four years it will have no trouble in making a "business men's administration. " THU congressional committee investi gating the American end of the Panama canal scandal has not met witli very marked success , i 'It got at a few facts which promised. , 'some interesting detl . . . . 1 ' 4 f . . . velopmonts , and hereupon the witnesses summoned did notiput in an appearance. The outlook nowifs that the committee will obtain very little information of any value , and yet it IM not to bo doubted that if this tiling c6Uld bo probed to the bottom the disclosures would soil a num.- bar of reputations It promises , however - over , to bo un'6tlicr example of the futility of congressional inquiries into matters of this chAraoter , where these implicated have iojdifllculty in conceal ing guilty knowledge ; ' Such Funnj Tiliff5 | | We'll See.

IlUllKAU OF Till ! Ilr.K , fil3 FotmiKKNTit STIIHKT , WAHIIIXUTOX , D. C. , Feb. 15. A great deal of displeasure la being ex pressed in certain quarters over the refusal of President Harrison and Secretary Foster to direct the Issue of bonds to meet the drafts which are being made upon our gold resources , The democratic newspapers of tlio cast and certain democrats in congress are not a llttlo vexed over it. If there should bo an Issue of bonds they would , however , bo the first to como forth with con demnation for the proceedings. In the struggle which has been going on for some weeks by the Treasury department to meet the extraordinary demand for gold Itself. The gold "run" was precipitated by the same persons and for the same purposes us was the case nearly three years ago. Then the financial squeeze was brought about by bankers in nil parties who liad only Bullish gain . In view , men who wanted to force by stress of circumstances the Treasury depart ment into an issue of bonds , knowing that if they could succeed it would .ncan millions of profit to them , as they could take the bonds and sell them at a largo premium as soon as the scare was over. Then there were designing democratic politicians who wanted to precipitate n panic and ! . force the present administration to issue bonds , which would give them an oppor tunity to go before the country and claim that the "Harrison administration had cre ated an extra Issue of bonds and played Into the hands of Wall street bankers. " . ICur .Murlix of tlio Wlrinru The same elements have been at work during the past tw < 3 months to force the ad ministration to Issue bonds , with llttlo or no definite object in view. The bankers who believe they could buy up the bonds : it par and sell them at a large premium of course care nothing about the'polikieal effect of a bond . Issue , while the deiilocrats who arc eager to drive the financial management of President Harrison's administration sec , only political advantage In the present situa tion. They would precipitate a panic , ruin the government's credit and destroy the commercial interests of the country if they could make a record against the adminis tration. In addition to the democratic agitation through the newspapers , intended to denrcss the government's credit and force an Issuu of bonds for political effect , there have been sent to the president men prominent in pub Hib and private life who have besieged and badgered ; him , with a view to making him consent to an issue of bonds. HIMV the Schrmm-M Work. Hut the president has remained linn In his position against n bond Issue. It has been a most remarkable combination of greed , self ishness and political design which has worked for this extraordinary move against which the president has stood. And today , It is reported that the bankers , growing more bold In their determination to gain by the misfortune of the government , have sent word to the president that unless ho per mitted a bond issue they would stop the sup ply of gold which they have been furnishing by an exchange for legal tender notes. This certainly Is a climax , and is probably hand regarded as impolitic and unnecessary ml unjust to the taxpayers of the .cquntry. Certainly , If President Harrison holds out \gainst these combined forces who seek to ist odium upon his administration , be will merit , if ho dons not receive , the applause of j its country. In this second raid which de signing financiers and politicians have made upon the good credit of the country the fact "las been shown that there are men and po- .itical parties who would go to any extreme ; o carry their selfish or party point , regard- ess of the consequences to the country. May 1'orro the IHHIIC. . It Is learned tonight in the highest official circles that while it is a recognized fact that speculators and politicians are at the bottom of the gold squeeze , it is feared there will liavo to bo an issue of about f50,000,000 of bonds to meet the demands and prevent gold from going to a premium. The president feels that ho docs not want a condition ot affairs which will run gold up to u premium , Mid much as ho would regret any kind of nn Issue df bonds ho would prefer that to the listing of the stock exchanges. Should the drafts upon our already small available gold balance continue during the next three days as they have during the past wcolc it is safe to predict that there will bo a small bond issue. Omaha's } iniv Itiillrn.ul. Omaha is likely to have direct through railroad connections with South Dakota dur- Ing I the next year. Furthermore , she will have direct communication to Duluth by continuous lino. The statement comes to TUB Bun correspondent through railroad circles in Now York that the extension of the Great Northern line , which is being made to Yankton from Sioux Falls , and which is to bo completed in time to carry out the wheat crop this year , is to bo con tinucd to Omaha from Yankton. The trouble anticipated in bridging the Missouri nt Yankton is said to have been overcome. The line will traverse a comparatively level country in Nebraska and can be constructed not only with the minimum of cost , but rapidly. At Omaha connection Is to bo made with the Union Pacific or Burlington , nnd grain , etc. , from ' ' 0 points beyond Omaha for Europe aim points farther east in the United States is to go to Duluth direct after reach ing the metropolis on the Missouri. The ex tension of the line from Yankton will prove nn immense business consideration to Omaha merchants and shippers , as it will open to them a now Hold now occupied by Sioux City , Minneapolis , St. Paul and Chicago , and will call into acquisition navigation on the great lakes for largo consignments.
