The fodornl courts have

merous co o9 where the qui llim of tholr

ings.Thus
Thus , several sheriffs in South Carolina
lina , under specific orders of the gov
ernor of that state , sely.cd for nonpayment
ment of taxes property of several rail
roads which were in the hands of re
ceivers appointed by the federal court.
Ilonco arose a conflict of state and na
tional authority. Tlio federal court at
Churlcnton thereupon , in February last ,
arrested ana lined the shorlll's for con
tempt , nnd Governor THlman proceeded
to bring tlio matter to. the supreme
court by habeas corpus. That court de
nied the writ in an opinion sustaining
the lower court in every particular.
In Missouri the United States diotrict
court in March last declined to release
from imprisonment certain county
judges who refused to levy a special tax
ordered by that court to pay certain
railway bonds claimed to bo fraudulent.
And yet the refusal of those state repre
sentative.- ) was based on a clause of the
state constitution explicitly prohibiting
special levies in such cases. The federal
courts did not hosllato to assort their
jurisdiction in these cases , which will
serve as an illustration.
However , in the case whore a New
York watch manufacturer , who had re
fused Ui join the Watch trust nnd had
beim injured In his business by the con
spiracy , appealed to the federal courts
for redress he found that he had no
remedy from them. Appealing to the
Btato courts of Now York , an attempt
was inudo to throw his case out of court
as had been done in the United States
courts. But Judge Patterson of the
supreme court of that state overruled
the demurrer of the trust , lie held that
when any such conspiracy exists to
maliciously injure the business of a
competitor buciuiso ho had refused to
join them in the commission of unlawful
acts the courts of the state can give him
remedy under the common law. This
is a broad principle. It would seem
also a sound one.
It is readily seen that this decision
establishes a patent remedy where the
conspiracy is of local clTcct. But in in
stances whore these combinations oper
ate over several states an appeal for
relief can only lie in a federal court. For
instance , if a cotnoino in any other state
attacks a competitor in Nebraska the
citizen thus injured must find redress in
the United States courts , if at all.
Should the principle stated by Judge
Patterson obtain recognition in the fed
eral courts its rigid enforcement would
render unnecessary any further legisla
tion in restraint of the abuses thcso un
lawful combines nro enabled to exercise
every whore. It would seem only natural
that the attorney general would seek a
test of the power ho may already have
at command to inaugurate the crusade
he has promised against these iniquitous
capitalistic combinations.
A /V.OTfitfTOH.ir/J KO/J HAWAII.
The latest advice ? from Honolulu
state that Minister Bloitnt has intimated
that a protectorate for the Hawaiian
islands is the proper thing to look for.
According to one correspondent Mr.
Blount favors a protectorate of the pres
ent government , wliich shall guard it
us well from interference abroad as from
revolution at homo , and the same au
thority states that ho is convinced of the
unselfishness and integrity of the men
in control at Honolulu , is in sympathy
with the revolution , and has no thought
of restoration. If the American minis
ter is correctly represented in
these reports ho is certainly not
carrying out the spirit of his
instructions as understood in this coun
try. The understanding hero has been
that the minister was not to interfere
at all in the political attains of Hawaii
that ho was to occupy a position of abso
lute neutrality between the parties , his
duties being limited to securing protec
tion , in any event , to American inter
ests and to preventing the interference
of any other foreign power in the polit
ical affairs of the islands. If ho has
counseled or suggested a protectorate
ho has gone beyond his authority as the
American people have understood it.
It is proper to observe , however -
over , that these reports come
from sources which nro in hearty
sympathy with the provisional gov-
eminent and have always advocated the
policy of annexation , so that their credi
bility is open to doubt.
A protectorate would bo hardly los
o objectionable than annexation. Tlio do
partnro from the traditional policy o
the government would bo as grout In om
case as in the other , and while a protectorate
torato would involve us in almost oqua il
ild
obligations with annexation wj shoule d
got nothing in return for assuring it. I
would bo interesting to the country t <
know exactly what the position of tin
administration at Washington is on thi
subject. The Washington correspondent
dent of an eastern paper which ha
a place in tlio confidence of the ad
ministration says it is doubtfu
if i'robldont Cleveland himself ha
formed any resolution as to the fine
action of the United States rogarditi ]
Hawaiian annexation. If ho finds thu
the Ilawaiians do not as a body dcsir
annexation , says the correspond out , h
will promptly abandon It. If , on th
other hand , ho is convinced that th
people desire to Ixscomo a part of th
33Ot United States , ho U not likely to poi
Ot Blstontly refuse them. Assuming tlif
to there is authority for these ntutoinonti
Id they give a different aspect to th
as Hawaiian question from that in whic
the American people have boon regart
ing it for some time past. ]
ts has boon generally supposed that a
Idof thought of annexation had boon dii
of missed by the administration and tlu
it was the intention to strictly obsorv
seed a policy of non-Interference in Huwaliu
od affairs. This was accepted by the into
ligont judgment of the country , wit
n- practical unanimity , as wlso and soiine
and the now phase which current n
ports glvo the gUitnMon will CJIHO-
quontly bo jvldoly disappointing. A
majority of the American people , It Is
not to bo doubled , are opposed to either
n protectorate or Annexation , but if
compelled ti choose ono of these voll-
ck > s would probably prefer the latter ,
since with annexation the country
would secure something In return for
the obligations assumed.
ll'CWK OP TttK KXT1IA .SKSS/O.V.
In announcing that he w/nild call the
Fifty-third congress together in Sep
tember President Cleveland made no
reference to nny other subject for con
sideration at that tlmo than the finan
cial condition , In stating , a ? htfwus re
ported , that this is the only matter now
menacing tho'welfare and prosperity of
the country , ho Implied that none other
would bo presented for the attention of
congress at the extra session. It is
possible , however , that he did not In
tend to bo so undoratood , but simply
that the financial condition would bo
given the foremost place in the consider
ation of the national legislature. At any
rate , there is the authority of the Wash
ington correspondent of the Philadel
phia Lulycr for saying that the work of
the extra Bcs- < lon may bo extended to
the consideration of legislation intended
to increase the revenues of the govern
ment. It is not to bo expected that any-
thingwill bo accomplished in this direc
tion before the regular so-Hion , and it is
by no moans assured that oven then
much will bo done , but it may bo possi
ble to make a beginning at the special
session.
The urgent necessity of increasing the
revenues of the government , under ex
isting conditions , is recognized by men
of all parties , but the problem
of how to do this is an extremely dilli-
cult and perplexing ono , the wise solution
of which by the next congress will
hardly bo expected by any ono familiar
with the quality of statesmanship that
will dominate that bady. As the cor
respondent to whom reference has been
made well says , there is a great dilTor-
enco between formulating the bombastic
declarations and rallying cries of n
partisan platform and preparing a great
revenue measure to maintain and carry
on the government. There are plenty
of men in the dominant party in con
gress who are capable of doing the
former , but is there any ono among
thom having the qualifications to do the
latter ? The fact , as understood , that
the administration proposes to form
ulate a revenue measure indicates
that the president has not full faith in
the ability of the loaders of the next
house to perform this task to the satis
faction of the administration. The
annual requirement of the government
to meet current expenditures amount *
to $400,000,000. It is not now receiving
this revenue , and unless something is
done to provide it from taxation the
government will be compelled to borrow
money and issue interest-bearing bonds.
In view of the fact that there is little
chance of effecting a general revision of
the tariff , as contemplated by the demo
cratic leaders , in time for a new-meas
ure to become operative on July 1 , 18H ! ,
it is suggested that an emergency act
might bo passed to take effect at that
date. Such an act , it is proposed , should
increase the tax on distilled' spirits , fer
mented liquors , tobacco and snniT , place
a duty of I cent per pound on sugars
now coining in free , and restore tea and
colTeo to the dutiable list , from wliich
they were dropped more than twenty
years ago. Undoubtedly a considerable
addition to the revenue could bo made
in this way , but the paity that assumes
the responsibility of levying duties upon
sugar , tea and colToo takes a very great
risk and it is questionable whether the
administration will recommend such a
policy. Congress will bo convened
in September with the primary purpose
of dealing with the financial condition ,
but it seems probable that it will also bo
called on to consider the question of in
creasing the revenue of the government.
It will doubtless find the time before
the regular session fully occupied with
the first subject , and it is by no means
; certain that it will bo disposed of at the
extra session , notwithstanding the confi
dent predictions of the opposition to the
silver purchasing law. The advocates
of repeal may bo successful in the house ,
but their chances are not so good in the
senate.
IT SISKMS almost sacrilege to turn to
the practical suggestions that the ap
palling calamity in Washington alTordn.
But therein is contained the Barrio old
lesson emphasized time and again by
death , terror and destruction , heeded
for n time , may bo , and in some com
- munities , only to bo soon forgotten.
"Tlio building was unsafe. " It had
oven been condemned. Its use im
periled the livns of its hundreds of oc
cupants. And yet it was used , and the
dispatches from Washington toll the
fearful consequences of this criminal 1
disregard. It is useless to say now that
some ono is to blaine and must bear the
responsibility. But how many build
ings feimilarly unsafe and occupied are
Ito there in towns and cities everywhere
o throughout the country ! Denunciation
10 of these responsible for their condition
is who do not heed the lesson sot forth in
i1S the heartrending account of the Wash
1S ington disaster is impotent. The law
Ill should at once stop in and hold thorn tent

CHAIRMAN BI.YTHII , of the Iowa re
publican state committee , has announced
that ho will civil the state convention at
as early a date as will bo consented to
by n majority of the committee. An
earnest effort will doubtless bo made by
the convention to formulate some plan
to meet the existing situation on the
liquor question in that state , though Its
specific character cannot now bo fore
told. Senator Wilson's term expires
In 18)5 ! ) , and the conservative element of
Iowa does not wish to see his successor a
silver advocate or state bank demagogue.

THE appointment of II. C. Lott to the
Utah commission in place of Hon. Alvin
Saunders again gives that body a demo
cratic majority. Commenting thereon
the Salt Lake Tribune says that while

honest , honorable man and genial
gentleman , ho believes in doing nil
legitimate things to strengthen his
party. "Ho early joined the division
movement hero and believes in doing
every possible thing to cause Utah to
crystuli/.e into u democratic state.
Hence wo shall expect the commissioner
to servo the democracy whenever it is
possible to do so in servingt ho territory. "
It wil } bo recalled that two months ago
Mr. Lott was the most talked of man
for governor in the territory.
OMAHA'S trade is still reported good

as Omaha has been wont to exhibit , yet

The plcctornl campaign lu Germany , which
is now drawing to a tloso ; , has nt tnst boon
placed upon a proper footing. Tlio govern-
nicntconlliips Itself to proclrtlmliiR the abso
lute necessity of n larger military oataWNh-
ment for solf-dofetno , nml It appeals to the
patriotism by which nil political parties , with
the possible exception of the socialists , are
unquestionably animated. It is by no means
certain that llio appeal will bo mailo la vain.
Of the u.invnss now nearly ever , there are
several features which the chancellor would
be Justllkvl In regarding as auspicious. No
fewer than eighty scats will bo 1011 tested by
the unionist radicals , \vlio nro willing to ac
cept thonrmy bill , If modified by thonmcmt-
innnt proposed by Major lllnzo. If this now
parly should manage to carry half the seats
which it contests , It could give Caprtvl twice
as much help as Its representatives were able
to offer in the last Uolchstag. Then , again ,
the secession from the center party organ
ized by Haron von Sehorlomor-Alst , has re
sulted In the nomination of candidates
fnvoniblc to a modlllcatlon of tlio military
project in thirty Catholic constituencies In
Westphalia , the Prussian Hhineland ami
Silesia. At least half of thosecandldntcs
nro thought likely to succeed. Hut. of
course , gains in the directions mentlonoil
may , to some extent , bo counter-balanced by
Iho reduction of the number of the national
liberals , which Is looked upon as Inevitable.
The election Is now "but live days distant ,
yet all that can bo foretold , with a close approach
preach to certainty , Is the refusal of the
now Hclchstag to pass the army bill in Its
original form. From this point of view the
dissolution seems to hnvo been a mistake ,
and the blunder would have been greatly
aggravated If the knlsor had continued to
attempt to browbeat the electors. The
utmost that can bo hoped for from the roj > -
rcsentativcs of the people to bo chosen on
Thursday of next week , is that they may
consent to make the same moderate conces
sions which Caprlvl would gladly have
accepted a month ago , but which were then

Chamber of Delegations. nohcmia sends
her deputies to the Vienna Hoichsrath , and
it is there that Hcrr Plouor , the leailer of
the German faction , has proposed that no
young Czech bo chosen to sit in the Uolega-
tlons. He , like everybody else , understood
that the Uohemian movement led by
the young Czech party was directed
less against the Austrian government
than against the Germans , who , though
In the minority in Bohemia , are accused by
their adversaries of oppressing the Czech
population of the country. The latter is
strongly opposed to the triple nllinncc ,
which ties up Austria-Hungary to Germany ,
nnd it was to bo expected , as reported in the
cable dispatch , that the young Czechs would
decide to pursue a course of energetic oppo
sition to that alliance or drcibuml if they
nro admitted to the .Delegations. Unfortu
nately , passions have boon terribly excited
of late , and the Ilohcmlnn Diet at Prague
had to bo dissolved on account of the dis
orderly scenes which occurred during the
last session , especially on May 17. This
step was taken abruptly by Count Tnaffo ,
the Austrian premier , on learning that some
young Czechs had lied at night around the
neck of tlio statue of Emperor Francis
Joseph at Prague , n rope , which was found
dangling there the next morning. This
insult , added to the tiynamito cxplosioi
which blow up the Keichcnbcrg bridge last
year , soon after the passage of the emperor ,
who had paid n visit to Bohemia , was not
calculated to soften the strained relations
already existing between the Czechs and
the pro-German Cabinet , which actually gov
erns Austria.
In ttio past three decades of history the
militarism of Europe has been most notice
able. Each year of that period has seen
some fresh attempt to strain the patience
of taxpayer to n greater limit. The armies
of Franco have increased from 1,850,000 men
to 4.3T 0,000. Germany has Increased her
military forces iu oven greater proportion
from 1,300,000 to 5,000,000 ; Uussia in an
equal ratio , from 1,100,000 to 4,000,000 ;
Austria from 750,000 to nearly 2,000,000 ;
Italy from less than 000,000 to more than
2,200000 ; ; Turkey from 820,000 to l.lfiO.OOOj
Belgium from Sfi.OOO to JJflS.OOO ; Koumania
from Sl',000 to 280,000. In all , the armies ol
Europe have grown from less than 7,000-
000 strong to moro than 22,000,000 , an in
crease of 100 per cent for every decade.
Manifestly this increase cannot bo much
longer continued in time of peace without
the financial ruin of some of the smaller
nations. Italy lias oven now been
forced almost to the vcrgo of bank
ruptcy ami national debts have been
increased in other countries nt an .Manning
rate. The war expenditure of Uussia now
roaches almost 1,000,000,000 francs annually ,
as compared with less than half that amount
at the beginning of the period of militarism ;
that of Germany bus grown from $ IO,000OJO
to $100,000,000 and moro. Franco has increased -
creased her war expenditure from 471,000,000
to nearly 700OiK,03fl ) , francs ; England from
iy,000,000 to 20,000,000 ; Austria from 182-
000,000 francs to ilH.OOO.OOa , Altogether
the increase amounts to about 2OIXOJO,000 )
francs of annual expenditure. The annual
outlay of the Europe of today upon standing
armies in a time of peace Is between 4,000-
000,000 nnd 5,030,033,003 francs. If the ro-
ejelvers of that money were producers as
well as consumers ; if they contributo.l to
the annual output of European industries ,
thecaso would bo mitigated : but iu a largo
degree these 22,003,003 men are drones so far
us concerns the industries ot the continent ,
and servo as merely dead weight , so many
mouths to bo fed nml no many men to ho
kept in idleness , a drain upon the nation's
capability in manufacture or agriculture.

A close study of the resources and possibili

ICnnaas City Times : Government Is the
foundation for nil credit in the country , and
the necessity seems to bo nbsoluto for
prompt measures by the government to halt
the steady impairment of public credit by
the shipment of gold. Congress should moot
next month and repeal the Sherman law.
Chicago Tribuuo : Fortunately in the case
of this bank scare no harm was done except
In the mild way of loss of tlmo to these who
joined in the rush and in a loss of money ton
low of Ihem who were robbed in the crowd
or spent a part of thn cash needlessly , ns
most people are apt to do when they have on
hand moro than enough for the supply of
current necessities.
Philadelphia Ledger : The western ami
southern states are suffering from bank
troubles that tend to lock money up when it
is most needed. The representatives of
these sections In congress nro largely respon
sible for the present flurry and ought to bo
prepared by this time to vote for a repeal of
the silver purchasing act before further
troubles como upon them.
Toledo Commercial : Now that the irra
tional scare is about over , with no other ser
ious general effect than the partial clogging
of enterprise for a week or two at a time
when enterprise is of the most value to the
people , it Is shown that while AVall street
may hold great power , the resources of the
country are too great for the selfish schemes
of the Now York bankers to materially af
fect its progress ami prosperity.
Springfield ( Mass. ) Republican : With all
duo respect to the judgment of President
Cleveland , may it not bo said that if the
financial situation calls for a special session
of congress ataiiytiino.it calls for such n
session now * Nobody is going to lonrn any
thing moro about the money question by
Keeping him for three months longer hot
with suspense as to what the future mone
tary policy of the country is to bo.
Chicago Herald : The stringency is not
duo to any scarcity of money , but to the fact
that all the banks are exercising extraordi
nary caution. They are scrutinizing secur
ities moro closely than they usually do , and
are not lending oxcoit | upon the best of se
curity and upon ample margins. This fact
should assure savings depositors that their
money will not bo invested by the banks
carelessly or recklessly , but in every case
upon the most solid security. There will
never bo a better or safer time to make de
posits than at the present.
Kansas City Star : The lesson of the
Chicago incident is that there is no real
cause for alarm touching the financial re
sources of the countrv , and that no cause
for fear exists which cannot bo obviated by
wise legislation. The government has
pledged its influence to make this remedy
available at an early date , and in the meantime -
time there is nothing for the people to debut
but to keep cool , maintain their faith in the
credit of tlio nation nnd prepare their repre
sentatives in congress for the duly which
they will bo asked by the president to per
form when that body assembles in extra
session.
Now York Herald : The cfllux of gold has
ceased , for a ttmo at least. This result is
duo in part to a subsidence of the monetary
' ' " In [ jondon and in
'flurry" part to the largo
amounts of wheat taken for export on tlio
d-eclino of the past few days in prices.
* * * It looks very much as if permanent
good would como out of present transient
evil , for many men of infliiem-o in the west
as well as tlio south who formerly advocated
the maintenance of llio Sherman law upon
the statute books now perceive the evil it
has wrought and are frankly avowing tholr
desire that it should be repealed.

slro for jnstloo Is not ilenil. The fuel th.it a

IVnlgo County Loader : Thorn never was
a political prisiMior brought to the bar of
justice but could plead nn kuov. lodge of the
law and because of want of such knowledge
ho was Innocont. Hut no court will hold the
offender Innocent because of such Ignorance.
H has remained for our supreme court to lay
sitoli a foundation in law as n prevoilent ,
.liiugos Post nnd N'orval giving the opinion , tl
and honest Judge Maxwell dissenting The 'J
people of eourso believe that Judge Max well t
Is right , and the tools of corporations ami
the gang of thieves have no standing.
Grand Island Independent : The decision
of the supreme court In Iho Impeachment
enso declaring the impeached onlner.H not
guilty , n decision made by majority of two
( Post and Norval ) against one i Maxwell ) is
not surprising , as It has already been fore
shadowed for a whilo. H formally Is ai ,
decision of the last resort , from which there
is no appeal. Hut notwithstanding there
lies nil appeal from this supreme court to the
higher court of public opinion , and the great
majority of the people to all proliabilllv will
sustain the opinion of Chief .lustK-o Max
well , and the worst of it is. It will un
doubtedly hold the republican party respon
sible for the acquittal of the men whom
most intelligent people believed to ho t-ullty 'ij
of gross carelessness , and It will punish that
party for it.
Plattsmonth Herald : The great impeach-
incut trial Is over at last nml the people of
Nebraska can now draw n long , deep breath ,
oven though it is tainleil. .liulge-s Post ami
Norval decided that the olllcials were not
guilty as charuod , nnd they were turned out
In this cold world as honest , hard working
men , nnd ns Innocent as new born babies ; it
is too bad , they should have n guardian , as
some unprincipled wretch may swindle thom
out of their hard earned wages. Although
Chief Justice Maxwell worked incessantly
lor tin * conviction of the men whom ho know , t
from the evidence , wore guilty , ho was In
the minority and could do nothing , although
his opinion will bo taken by the people In
