SIX of ono and half a do/on of the

Olmstead jury. This might bo called a
draw , with the Incidental remark that
Williams holds tlio fort while Olmstoad
holds the court.
IN Tiicsn days of favoritism , tax re
mission and tax shirking , a remonstrance
or Injunction on the part ot the Omaha
Real Estate Owners association would
ho In order. But it looks as if the asso
ciation had gene Into Innocuous desue
tude.
Tim city of Baltimore places a tax of
S2 on each telegraph , toloiihono and
electric light polo in that city , and will
realize $12,000 from the system. A tax
of $2 on every similar pole In Omaha
might have tlio oiTcct of hastening tholr
removal.
TllE Omaha b ( ys have started on tholr

THE Kansas militia is being rapidly
placed on u populist footing. Six entire
companies wcro mustered out of service
this week1. Tholr places nro to bo filled
with men who are known to hold to
populist sontlmonts. But why shoul'd
the militia in any state belonged men
of _ ono political creed any moro than ono

IF IT takes the Board of Health two
or three years to dislocate half a dozen
equattors on the municipal malaria nnd

the Board of Health to clear up the

spectfully Bubmltton to-tho graduating r
High school class of ' 03.
THE starch trust has begun to fool the
general depression which has effected sc
many of the gigantic combinations ol
capital. It lias been compollbd to pas ;
its usual soml-annual dividend , and its
stocks have within the past few days
buffered severely on Wall street. Slowlj
but surely the investors In stocks and
kindred securities nro beginning to
realize that the trusts are entirely too
flimsy in character to bccomo good and
permanent investments , and the wring
ing out of the water baa a tendency tc
smash the trusts moro offoc lively than
uny law that has yet boon devised.
Tun now maximum rate law which it
to go into olTcot in this state by the lltli
of July is , after nil , not nn unmixed evil
as hns boon predicted by lending Omaha
Jobbers and bankers. The prospect 01
the cut in local rates is viewed with
alarm at Kansas City , nnd the long
headed business men of that town bogii
to doubt whothor- they can hold thoii
grip on southern and central Ncbraski
trade ns against Omaha unless the roadi
oonio to tholr relief by recasting nnd reducing
ducing tholr rates correspondingly
through Kansas. This is not likely t <
happen , however , because the road :
will have no advantage from rate cut
ting where they ai o not obliged to ro
duco.
WHIUJ. the rapid depletion of tin
timber area of Michigan , Minnesota am

rapid development of the timber resources

Already vast quantities of lumbar an
sent to not only the eastern markets
but us well to Nicaragua for use in tin

But indications nro that the nuxt fo\
j'cai'b will develop the great resources o
this region to a point compared wltl

prosperity of tlio Bhinglo industry nlon

A P1AX OP OKMKF.
The great pressure ( or mirronoy upon
the banks of Now York from the banka
of the Interior , causing n drain last
week to the extent of about 814,000,000
nnd which la oxpcctod to continue so
long as the present fooling of distrust
remains , has led the Clearing IIouso
association of Now York to adopt a plan
of relief which will doubtless provo
effectual in mooting the requirements of
the exigency. The association will Issue
certificates carrying 0 per cent interest
nnd it proposes that this plan bo adopted
by all the clearing house centers of the
country. There can bo no doubt that
this action of the Now York Clear
ing IIouso association will have
nn immediate beneficial effect , nnd if
the example shall bo generally fol
lowed by the clearing house contora It
will go far to quiet apprehension nnd
nllay distrust What it means Is sim
ply mutual helpfulness among clearing
house banks ; and although it Is In the
nature of a last resort its potency has
been moro than once demonstrated. In
the financial crisis of 1873 the Now York
Clearing IIouso association adopted this
plan with good results , and recourse to
It has boon had once or twice since ,
always advantageously.
It is not probable that the association
will find It necessary to Issue a very
large amount of certificates , for
the reason that there Is likely to
soon bo a cessation of the demand
for currency from the interior. The In
dicnttons uro that the fooling of distrust ,
which is undoubtedly oh lolly rosponslble
for the demand , is wearing off , and , as
stated in yesterday's dispatches , as soon
as the interior banks that have been
drawing upon Now York to fortify them
selves arc satisfied that the danger Is
passed they will restore tholr eastern
balances. AH the situation now appears
there seems to bo no reason wl\y they
may not do this within the next thirty
days , and perhaps loss time. But , in
any event , the precaution which the
Now York Clearing IIouso association
has taken is unquestionably wise , and
there is every reason to expect that its
beneficial oiTcct will bo at once apparent.
That the financial situation Is on the
whole looking much brighter than it
did n week ago must bo apparent to
everybody who has given it intelligent
consideration. Tlio outflow of gold has
nearly ceased , the treasury reserve Is
Increasing and there Is a manifest abate
ment of tlio general distrust. Unless
something not now disccrnablo shall
arise to renew disturbance the country
ought to experience a steady movement
toward a restoration of confidence , so
far at least as all legitimate enterprises
are concerned
PnOTEOTlON FOll LABORERS.
At the meeting in Chicago last week
of the National Conference of Charities
and Correction a report was submitted
making suggestions for legislation for
the better pcotcctioaof American labor
against imported labor. It was urtrod
that the existing federal statutes against
'Iho ' importation of alien contract la-
Cborors should bo moro rigidly and thor-
cjughly enforced than heretofore , In ro-
srjcct to the unskilled class , and that
.further legislation should bo had
to protect our unskilled resident
homo laborers. It was suggested
that this could probably bo best
mot by the imposition of a heavy
capitation tax upon all alien immigrant
passengers fulling to furnish satisfac
tory evidence to the inspecting officers
of the port at which they sought to
land that they came to the United
States for tbo purpose of permanent
rcsldonco or bottlomont. It was also
urged that wo should greatly restrict or
exclude the Incoming of foreign tem
porary unskilled laborers when they
como In such numbers as to injure and
distress our permanent resident popu
lation.
This is a matter which is very certain
to command the attention of the next
congress and there is very great proba
bility of some moro stringent legislation
than wo now have for the protection of
American laborers. Wo recently noted
the fact that the congressional com
mittee investigating the operation
of the alien contract labor law
had madotho discovery that 300 la
borers brought to this country under
contract had been returned to Eu
rope in a single month. This plainly
showed that the corporations which em
ploy largo numbers of laborers either
still keep special agents abroad or have
arrangements by which they nro enabled
to contract for alien labor. This nd-
mltted there can bo no doubt that thou
sands of laborers are annually brought
Into the United States under contract
In violation of the law. Ono of the most
experienced men in the country regard
ing Immigration expressed the opinion
that the law could never bo enforced
unless the employers of this labor wcro
found and punished , but when the diffi
culty of obtaining testimony is consid
ered it will bo soon that It would bo
practically impossible to roach the em
ploy orn or these who have authorized
contracts with alien laborers.
Just what would bo the most prac
ticable and effectual plan for putting a
stop to this business , without going
to the extreme of excluding un
skilled laborers , in a matter for
deliberation , but there can bo no
question as to the duty of the gov
ernment to protoet tlio resident laborers
of tlio country against an unlawful corn-
petition. The principle of the alien
contract labor law has boon accepted by
the people as being sound and just , and
a way must bo found to enforce that
principle.
IT is a satisfaction to learn that the
Chocktaw authorities have taken timulj1
precaution to debar that generally
worthless class of the population that
hangs on tlio borders of our western
frontier , known as "bquaw mon , " from
receiving any of the money recently
awarded these Indians for their lands li
Oklahoma. A consldorublo number ol
these men are found among all the In
dlan tribes. Some of thotn may Ix
worthy persons but many of thorn art
vagabonds who have been driven /run
civilized communities and , too lazy tc
wovk , have attached themselves to the
squaws and lead the Indolent life of the
Indiana In such quebtlonuble manner a :
they may. This recent legislation Icavci
out both whlto mon and , women who
have acquired marriageable rights
among the Chocttuvs. It also outs
out the negro population who have cit
izens' rights In the nation. Governor
Woolf of the Chlckusnws has issued a
call for the legislature of that nation to
nsiomblo nt once nt Tlshlmongp , when
an attempt at similar legislation will be
mado. However , the number of squaw
mon among these Indians is very largo ,
and It is apprehended if the authorities
adopt the same measures as the Choctaws -
taws that-trouble will result when the
payments come to bo mado.
Cm * TllEASVtlKll AND SGHOOb FUND
Now that the bank flurry Is over it
may not bo'buVof order to rcsumo con-
slderatlbn f the proposition now before
* '
the Board0f 'Education to have surplus
school moneys placed on deposit the
same as other city funds at such rate of
Interest as responsible banks will pay
for money on call. It may as well bo
understood first as last that the treas
urer has no legal right to make use of
the school fund for his own benefit ,
whatever technical flaws there may bo
as regards the right of the board to
designate a depository for him.
Section 9 ! ) of the amended charter con
tains the following provision :
The treasurer shall itoc | > all money in his
hands belonging to the city or school dis
trict of the city sop.irnto and distinct from
his own money ; and ho is hereby expressly
prohibited from using any such money or
any warrants or other securities In his cus
tody , or receivingnr > y interest thereon either
directly or Indirectly for his own use or
benefit , or for the use or benefit of any other
person or corporation except said city or the
school district thcroln. Any violation ot this
provision shall subject htm to immediate re
moval from ofllce by the city council , who
are hereby authorized to dcclnro such ofllco
vacant , nnd tbo mayor , with ttio consent of
the city council , shall appoint a successor ,
w'uo slinll hold his ofllce for the remainder
of the term unoxplrcd of such ofllcor so re
moved. All interest on moneys ot the city
shall bo reported by the treasurer to the city
council nnd comptroller and bo covered inlo
the gcncrnl fund ot such city , and all Inter
est on moneys of the school district shall bo
reported to the .Do.ird of Education and
placed to the credit ot the school fund.
This is so plain that any man who can
read must understand. It Is the mani
fest duty of the treasurer to turn over to
the school fund any interest or allowance
which the banks that handle the school
money may have scon fit to pay directly
or indirectly. It is manifestly the duty
of the Board of Education to have the
surplus school funds deposited where
they will yield the largest amount of Interest -
torost under safeguards that will afford
assurance of prompt repayment on do-
mand. There should really bo no con
troversy over this matter. The law
makes it mandatory upon the treasurer
to turn into the school fund every penny
of interest derived from the use of the
surplus school moneys of which ho is
custodian , and ho should not stand on
ceremony or take advantage of technical
flaws in carrying out the provisions of
the charter relating to school funds.
THE trial of Lizzie Bordcn at Now
Bedford , Mass. , Is ono of the most sensa
tional that has over taken place in this
country. Newspaper attaches crowd
the accommodations ot the dreary old
village and even the gamblers in the
east are selling pools on the probable
verdict. The ablest counsel in Massa
chusetts Is engaged in the trial and
Judge Blodgott , the ablest member of
the supreme bench of that state , will
charge the jury. The courts of Massa
chusetts are noted for their legal sound
ness and the summary character of their
proceedings are noticeably emphasized
in the conduct of this case. For in
stance , instead of spending days In a
vain effort to secure a jury , as is the
case in the courts of almost every state ,
a jury was empaneled for this momen
tous trial in a few hours on the day the
case was sot. The court instead of the
lawyers examined the jurors and only
received suggestions Irom the coun'sol in
tlio caso. Only when it came down to
direct challenges by Miss Borden did
the judge permit the candidate for po
sition on this famous jury to pass for a
moment out of his hands. Then if the
defense did dccido to challenge , Miss
Borden herself would arise and say "I
challenge. " Only when the juror was
conscientiously opposed to capital pun
ishment or had formed an unchangeable
opinion was ho disqualified. This is in
striking contrast to the general custom
of allowing lawyers to ask a long series
of apparently unimportant questions
to the annoyance of the panel
and court alike , the latter being
deterred from interfering lost the bench
might appear unfair toward the de
fendant. As the chief justice of the
state and two associates occupy the
bench there can bo no question that tha
method thus adopted of selecting a jury
is within the law. The custom of having
three judges preside at n criminal trial
seems , however , unnecessary. Moreover ,
the old rule observed by the court oi
obliging witnesses to stand throughout
n long examination and cross-examina
tion booms a barbaric severity.
MUNDKLI , of the COrpS Ol
engineers , United States army , has sub
mitted an Important question to Attor
ney General Olnoy , the decision ol
which may have nn important bearing
upon the officers constituting the Mis
sissippi river nnd the Missouri river
commissions , ns well ns upon these of the
light house board. Section 1,222 of the
Revised Statutes provides , "No officer
of the army on the active list shall hold
uny civil olllco , whether by election or
appointment , and every such olllcor whc
accepts or oxorclsco the functions of o
civil oillco shall thereby cense to bo an
olllcor of tha army and his commis
sion shall bo thereby vacated. " Colonel <
nol Mondoll asks if the acceptance of
three engineer olllcors of places
on the California Debris commission
does not amount to a vacation of tholt
commissions as army officers. In thh
connection It may bo suggested that
should the attorney general hold thai
this section of the statutes applies IE
their cases. . Boot ion 1,224 of the Revised
Statutes becomes equally affcotiyo upon
otllcers engaged in other duties foroigt
to the service. It reads , "No ofllcor 01
the army shall bo employed on olvi
works or Internal improvements , or bi
allowed to engage in the service of an ;
ncorporntod compnnyy r b6 omttloyod
s noting tmymintar diyburslng ngont
f the Indian dopartirtftnUfauoh extra
imploymont requires tYi t ho shall bo
oparatod from his gttijunny , rcglmont
ir. corps , or if it shall othorwlso Inter-
ere with the iarforinafrto ; ! of military
lutlos proper. " A su o ont act of congress -
gross authorizes the prqpjdont to detail
\rrny ofllccrs to net as Indian agents
ivhon , In his Judgment , ho may deem
iropor. A similar act exempts officers
otallod for duty at educational instltu-
Ions from the rostrlcffjlp , of the atat-
itos. But it would seeiuithut there arc
number of other 'Officers ' separated
from their commandsjjipcnablo thereto.
The decision of the attorney general will
.horoforo . bo awaited with peculiar Intor-
at , osioclally by the oltfcors of the army.
Tun news from Europe regarding the
'ovlval ' of the germs of last year's chol-
jra optdomlo and of a fresh importation
rom India should have the ofToct to
arouse the quarantine authorities of this
ountry to greater zeal in preparing
igninst an invasion of cholera than they
com to have yet shown. Perhaps all
las been done In the way of precautions
hat Is immediately necessary at the
principal eoaports , but so far as known
there has been practically nothing done
on the borders , and cholera can
como in that way quite as well
as through the seaports. It ap
pears that the Canadian government is
dolnc practically nothing to prevent dis
ease coming in at the ports of Canada.
It proposed some time ago to institute a
thorough system of quarantine , but all
the testimony is that it has failed to do
this. Immigrants aflllotod with small
pox have been allowed to laud at Hull-
'ax.and a competent authority states
that the system of disinfection at all the
ports Is worthless. This state of affairs
suggests that it will bo necessary to
strictly quarantine every port of entry
n our northern frontier , and it would
seem that there is no time to bo lost in
doing this. All the indications seem to
favor a widespread opidomio of cholera
n Europe , and whllo there may bo no
occabion for alarm in this country it is
not possible to exorcise too much care in
providing necessary precautions.

The democratio party Is. pledged to the ro-

Politics in Ohio will bo worth watching

with the stump orators , the race problem
will not bo overlooked , and every public
question of a national character will receive
heated consideration.
The Secret of Stewart's Conviction ! .
St. Loula Republic.
Senator Stewart of Nevada is quoted as
one of the strongest opponents of the repeal
of the Sherman law. The Nevada senator la
ono of the largest silver mine owners in the
world. Aa long as ho is able , as at present ,
to exchange his bullion for coin notes re
deemable in gold at the United States treas
ury ho Is as well satisfied as ho could be
with any financial condition short of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver. Sen
ator Stewart is ono of the few ueoplo to
whom the Sherman law is a joy forever. Ho
will never voluntarily relinquish it until sat
isfied that behind it there stands a law to
coin the entire product of his mines lute
dollars and put thorn , on the market at a
parity with gold.
Who U Aiiuworth ?
Philadelphia Press.
Colonel Ainsworth Is an army surgeon
who has shown strenuous and pushing abil
ity in making his way to the front. Ho has
shown great ingenuity in dovislng ways and
methods in which to make pension records
of easy access , great executive power in
managing a largo force of clerks and singu
lar skill In getting appropriations for his
work and rank for himself out of congress.
The results of tils work have boon remarka
ble , but ho has shouldered u good many men
aside in doing it , mudo n good mauy ono-
mtos and generally boon the sort of man
who has few friends when disaster coinns.
The unquestionable tendency at Washing
ton will bo to put the responsibility for the
collapse of Ford's theater on his shoulders ;
but he has the right to an absolute suspen
sion of judgment until the evidence is in.

matter of fact it is possible to ride a longwinded -
winded horse until it is tlrtid before seeing
an Indian in Nebraska , unless the seeker

Kansas City Star : The fcoltng nt Wash

The condition of the country as viewed from
a treasury standpoint shown general Im
provement. Accompanying this report comet
the weather crop bulletin from tuo Depart
ment of Agriculture showing that the past
week HAS boon the most fnvornblo one of the
entire season. These assurances from the
scat nf government is all that the country
ought to require for the restoration of Its
financial oiuillhrhitn. With a sound national
credit and the prospects of abundant
harvests , the people can afford to take the
president's lid vlco and keep cool.
Dntrott Free Press : Iho masses are very
apt in such times to got rattled. Thuy do
not understand very clearly the principles
upon which banking is done , and a good
many of them cannot comprehend how it is
that every dollar they deposit Is not at nil
times walling for them with their name on
the bundle. Because ot this lack of compre
hension on their part they lese their heads
when anything is said about hard times mid
rush to the banks for tholr money. They can
always bo induced , however , to listen to the
counsel of these who are better posted than
they , and It is at this point that the cooler
members of tho'communlty can got in their
work. Lot thorn show their eonlldenco In
the banks ana by example and precept In
duct ) their fellows to do the same.
Washington News : The closing days of
the week marked a much more hopeful foolIng -
Ing in financial circles , and it Is now be
hoved that with the return of eonlldenco
wo shall fool the good effects of better con
ditions. Foreign exchange hat fallen so low
that gold exports are not likely to bo con
tinued. Furthermore , heavy exports of
grain are turning exchange in favor of this
country. Itallroad earnings have increased
so largely that securities nro rising , and nro
likely to continue to appreciate for some
time at least. Another hopeful factor is
that since the president's announcement
relative to the extra session , the foreigners
have como ir to the market as steady pur
chasers of the best dividend-paving secur
ities and bonds. Such n condition of affairs
should at once remove the incubus of de
pression from the mercantile world. It is a
well recognized fact that this depression
was duo rather to a lack of confidence than
to any positive elements of weakness. Now
that the return of confidence is becoming
moro marked , the banks will bo readier to
accommodate their customers , and timid in
vestors will make a market for sound issues
of securities.
