Porlmps the government ongi- lucor may bo able to find BOIIIO of the ( property which the assessors very evi dently overlooked. THERE are a great many democrats in Ohio who would rather accept the certainties of a lucrative olllco from Grover Cleveland than the uncertainty of success as the opponent of Governor McKinloy. ONE of the notable projects of the "World's fair year is the proposal of the Hebrew citizens of the United States to erect amomorial to Freedom und Liberty in America. The monument will bo erected in Now York , and $500,000 will bo contributed for the purpose. CHURCH TIOWK , who mysteriously dis appeared immediately upon the adjourn' incut of the legislature , lias turned up ir Chicago long enough to be interviewed \ipon the subject of the political situa tion in Nebraska. As usual his ' 'views' nro moro unique than valuable. THERE is some hopes for Missouri yet , The supreme court of that.stato has jusl decided that the law authorizing tlu bale of persons for vagrancy is unconsti tutional. The law has been in force foi ycart , but its provisions reached n < further than to the colored man. A MOST curious phase of the preson depression in grain prices is the fac that farmers , notably in Kansas , iind i cheaper to buy wheat for speculativi purposes than to raito it. Reports ti the Kansas State Board of Agricultur indicate that the fannors of that slat nro buying largo quantities of old wheat l-v- It KEPORTS of the increased demand to improved farm property continue t come in. They indicate that the hum : ( jration to Nebraska is gradually , bu Buroly changing from the prairi Hchoonor typo to the moro prosporou nnd moro practical representative of th agricultural class. EVERYTHING oho considered , Pranl Ilurd is the logical democratic candl tJato for governor of Ohio. Ho is th political antithesis of Governor McKii ley and between the two the people c the Buckeye state ought to IKJ able t bxpross themselves with the utmo ; clearness on the tarilT question. TllK state labor commissioner ai nouncos his determination to onforc two laws which have been practicall ignored over elnco they were added 1 the statutes. Ono is the act roqulrin nil omployoi-H of female help to provlil noata for such employes. The other the ono requiring all hotola and publ : iMilldinirs to be oquipiKjd with flro 01 capoa. The laws nro both humane an proper , but the labor commissioner wl liavo dlflluulty In securing their onforo incnt. IT HAS boon decided that the case i the state against ox-Troasuror Hill an his bondsmen cannot ho tried in Dough county. The decision will not affect th inorits of the case In the eyes of the po < pie of the Btato. If the money lost I the state can bo recovered in a Lanca tor county court nobody will grumbl But the chances are that the stuto wl bo a quarter of a million out of pock nud the ox-treasurer's and present troa uror's bondsmen will bo allowed to si through.

Mil. llttANIfN I'OSITtON. The discussion of. the Sherman Inw nnd the probabilities ot Its repeal Imvo become the salient topic of interest in vtow of Iho financial situation aud the npptoaching session of congress. Tito reply ot the chairman of the coinage commlttoo to Secretary Carlisle1 s review of the government's recent silver opera tions , is a pertinent contribution to the debate. Mr. Dland Introduces nnd clones hU analysis of the law , the secre tary's statement , and the situation with caustic allusions to the democratic In consistency In the substitution of the silver question for the issue on which the democrats claimed that their party won. "Tho platform of the democratic party is to bo turned bottom up for the pur pose of pressing silver demonetization ahead of tariff reform , " and "now wo find the magnificent tarilT reform ( car rusllng on an otacuro sltlo track , " nro the figurative epigrams with which ho scornfully opens and concludes his nr- rnignmcntof the policy of the admin istration. Of course It is riot to bo expected that any but the most extreme silver infla tionists will ngroo In all of Mr. Bhvnd's ' viowH , yet as the leader of the free coin age forces In the house they bccomo so significant ns to demand attention. From Mr. Bland's standpoint , "of course the Sherman law Is bad , " yet "It Is the only law wo have that looks to the con tinued use of silver as money , " and "bad as it is , still constitutes a strong leverage - ago or stopping atone to free coinage. " So It Is not to bo utterly condemned un til the terms of redemption of silver notes with silver are compiled with by the secretary of the treasury. This in dicates the policy to be. pursued by the silvorcrats in congress , The interpretationIhis frco coinage champion fives to section 2 of the law , which provides that the notes , in which the purchases of silver bullion are to bo paid for , shall bo redeemed in coin "in gold or silver coin in the dis cretion of the secretary of the treasury , " is that of a declaration in favor of frco coinage. Ho argues that "it being the declared policy to keep the two inotuls not coins , but the two metals at par , It will bo noted the act says the policy is to keep the parity of tho'two metals , not coins. Of course , ho parity of the inotuls would insure the parity of the coins.1 And "since noth ing short of frco coinage can insure the parity of the metals , any sensible inter pretation would make this mean a dec laration in favor of free coinage , but , of course , Mr. Sherman did not intend that , but just the reverse. " Section 8 , ho holds , tolls plainly how the law ought to bo inforcod. By its terms the bullion purchased with these treasury notes is sot apart specifically as a trust fund for the notes loaned in the purchase. The section further com mands the coining of all the bullion that might be necessary to redeem the notes. "In view of this plain command of the law , what folly it is to call these notes gold obligations or to pretend that they are not , all of thora. by express statute , made redeemable with coins struck froir the identical bullion purchased with the notes. How unjust it would bo to trcal this bullion as dead capital and to gad' die the taxpayers of the country with f now bond issue to got gold to satisfy the greed of the money lenders upon the plea that when they demand it gold must bo paid to Keep the parity of tlu two metals. " Mr. Bland takes direct issue with the secretary's statement that the treasury has sulTorod loss by its silver purchase ! under not of July 14 , ' 90 , to the amoun of $10,000,000. True , ho says , "if tin silver business must continue to hi treated as so much dead waste then thi loss is equal to the whole amount pur chased. But if , on the other hand , the bullion shall bo coined as commanded by law and the con" ! used to redeem thi notes , then wo lose nothing , but on thi contrary wo have gained , nnd will con tlnuo to gain abDiit $50,000,000 annually in our circulation. " The manner ii which the law is now executed is denounced nouncod as "a farce and a fraud. It i just such a thing as Mr. Sherman ir tended it to be. " In the hands of tin friends of silver it might bo executed s as to do a honoficcnt work , is the conclu sion of this feature of the argument. A plea in favor of a frco coinage sy torn is submitted- that if all stive bullion could bo coined at the mint with out cost "bullion would at once bo wort ! what it would coin aud would pass cm rent in the shape of bullion. " Th proposition to sell bonds to got gold t redeem the notps issued in purohaslni silver bullion Mr. Bland dismisses wit the peremptory assertion , ' 'It is not i the law. There is no such authority , "This topsy turvy arrangement of tli democratic party , " ho concludes , "bode no good to the country , and I lean dl aster to the party. " OO/vD GOBS AI1HOAD. A corrected report of the bureau i statistics , showing the values of mo chandiso exported nnd imported duriii the flvo months of this year ending Ma 111 , supplies the principal reason for tl outflow of gold from the United Stati to Kuropo. According to these statlstl the exports for the flvo injntl amounted to $321,217,801 , nnd the Impor to $120,414,292 , the excess of the latti being $ ! U , 1011,491. This largo balam against us in the period of loss than ha a year Is exceptional , and by Itself woul boom to bo a bulHclont explanation of tl a" largo doman 1 for gold , the aggregate which , however , in the period name has boon loss than the dltTe to once between the exports and Import ted d For the eleven months ending with Mi : t the excels of imparts was in rounl nun id bora $3,000,000. | idd It will thus bo soon that for n yoi , d past this country has been steadily g ing into debt to foreign countries , th' y reversing the usual course of trade fi d many years. Notwithstanding the fa that Kuropo has bought an almost u 10 prccedented amount of our breadstui 10H HS. - during the past year , that the murko S. for our provisions have boon enlarge S.ol ol and that our trade has increas toll with countries with which wo ha ll30 reciprocity arrangements , we have bei 30 buying moro than wo sold and this cc id dltiou of affairs continues , in addltl ia to bo icokoued the return of t American securities and the sums taken abroad by American tourists. Putting all thcso things together it is easy to understand why gold ROCS abroad. Knots of this nature may bo used to show that the American people nro extravagant , but they do not necessarily Indicate that the country la less prosperous than when the condition was the reverse and wo were receiving gold from Europe In stead of sondlng It thoro. If what the country has bought in excess of what it has sold was worth what has boon paid for It obvi ously nothing has boon lost , but none the loss it will bo generally agreed that it Is much moro convenient as a rule to bo a creditor than a debtor country , nnd until the United States shall got Into the former position , or at any rate until the bnhmco of trade turns in its favor , the financial situation cannot bo entirely satisfactory. Legislation can do very llttlo by way of remedy. The repeal of the silver purchase law would probably for a tlmo strengthen foreign confidence in American securities and create a bet tor demand for them , but if it should bo followed by a contraction of the circulation that would injuriously affect domestic commerce that con fidence would not last. A revision of the tarilT on the lines proposed by the party in power would probably result in increasing the imports without adding materially if at all to the revenues of the government. No legislation can keep Americans at home who have the means to go abroad , and this involves a heavy annual drain upon the country's ' stock of gold. \Vo recently referred to the opinion of ono of the most distinguished Eng lish financiers that gold would return to the United States in the autumn. Ho had In mind the European demand for our grain , but it is by no means certain that this will bo so largo as to overcome the trade balance that is against us. Wo also noted an improved feeling abroad toward American secur ities , but this is a very unsafe reliance , because its maintenance is contingent upon our future financial polipy. which nobody can forecast with any degree of certainty. On the whole the prospect of regaining the gold wo have sent abroad during the past six months and what wo shall forward between now and the beginning of the active export sea son docs not appear to bo particularly promising. TllK LIMIT K.VDUfMVCE ttEACIIKD < There is u shortage of over three- quarters of a million in the assessed valuation of real and personal property in Douglas county for the present year as compared with last year. What , docs this shortage moan ? There have been at least $3,000,000 , expended in this county in improvements during the last year. Assume that $2,000,000 were ex pended for public improvements , which are not taxable , wo still have three mil lions to olTbot any possible shrinkage of property values hero and there , and wo have besides the increase of property values by reason of public improve ments. It is notorious , moreover , that the assessment of 1892 , and. for that matter , all the previous assessments within fifteen years , have boon out of all proportion to assessments in other cities east and west , north and south. Our heaviest land owners have man aged to boar the smallest proportion ol the burden of city and county govern ment , and the frnnchiscd corporation ! : have been allowed to fix their owr valuations at bcandalously dispropor- tionod figures as compared with the amount of bonds and stocks that nro sup posed to bo an index of their value Four of these companies , owning the street railway , gas , water and electric lighting franchises , are stocked am bonded for $10,000,000 and assessed foi $210,000 , or about li per cent on a valua tion which they have made for them solves. Monlod men , who have million ! loaned out on mortgages , have boor allowed to go untaxed or are allowed t make returns for a moro pittance. Wha is the cause of all this and where can w < got the remedy ? The core of this ta : iniquity is in the system of assossmen nnd the utter disregard of the law b ; the assessors and the boards that are ox uectcd to equalize the taxoa. We have reached a point now whoi the most heroic remedies must bo np plied. The honest taxpayers of thi town must band together for solf-protec tion. They muat drop all other issue and strike a blow nt the tap-root f legalized robbery of the many for th brtieflt of the few. The power of th courts must bo invoked to stay the lav less and unequal Imposition of taxcf oven if the whole treasury < the city nnd county is paralyze for a tlmo. If hundreds of homos owno by wage workers have to bo foreclose because of confiscating taxation the ta ; ridden property owners will at lea : have the satisfaction of smashing tli conspiracy by which they are boln mercilessly driven to the wall.V must cull a halt at all hazards to lawlos tax exemptions , donations of taxes an flagrant undervaluations of corporal wealth und stocks , bonds , mortgage and money loaned on interest. If tl courts do not afford full remedy the r fusal to pay taxes on real property wl bring the county and city officials time. There is n limit to endurun * and the limit has about Leon reached.

Popular IntoroiUh this full's poHlioftl campaign will ccr In the Ohio and Iowa contests. In these two states the battle la to bo wtljjifd upon the line of national issues. Uepubilcans over the country generally'1"\yill ' find cause for congratulation in Ifio fact that In Iowa the prohibition question will , as fur as practicable , bo eliminated from the dis cussion Incident to the campaign. This much has already been determined upon by the state central committed. The republican party managers in Iowa have made no mistake In d ccldtng to ignore prohibition as a political Issue. That question lias too long boon u dis turbing clement In Iowa politics. As a more moral abstraction the prohibition question will novorbosottlod. People will always dllTor as to the merits or demerits of a theory which seeks to change per sonal habit by legislative onnctmont ; and as it Is certain'that It can nnvcr bo satisfactorily disposed of , It Is equally certain that It has no place in politics. The republican party In Iowa has found to its coat that its championship ot an issue that is entirely for eign to legitimate political discus , slon has been disastrous. The men who foisted prohibition upon the republican party in Iowa have neither succeeded in making the sump tuary enactments a success nor In preventing - venting the gradual but certain disin tegration of the party as a result of their ill-advised action. The party has not only lost the support of ita members who honestly opposed sumptuary legis lation , but it has been deserted by the prohibitionists themselves. It has re quired "several disasters to open the eyes of the party leaders to a state of affairs which has been perfectly obvious to republicans in. adjoining states from the very first. Unhandicappcd by the weight of the prohibition incubus the republicans will bo in shape to make a vigorous fight to regain the prestige they once enjoyed in the Ilawkoyo state. Tlioir ante-conven tion work isiwcll .under way , the party organization is in vigorous hands and the prospects for success filr from dis couraging. "Whilo _ the contest over the governorship will , JJQ a spirited one , the great stake of thoicainpatgn will bo the United States bcna prship , to bo deter mined by the coinploxi n of the legis lature to bo chosen'this fall. LKLAND STANHO D , United States senator from California , who died yesterday , was knpyyn to the country rather for the millions ho had accumu lated than for anj distinguished public service ho had rojidcred. Ho had boon governor of California and was serving his second term in ! ' { ho United States senate , but in neither of these positions had bo shown anynotable ability. His voice was rarely hpaj-d iii the senate ex cept to voto'and , the only thiiig now re called with which his name was promi nently identified as a senator was a bill to establish government ware houses throughout the country for de posits of grain upon which the treasury should issue notes. Ho advocated this impracticable and demagogic scheme in one or two speeches whiohraro not now romomborodbut , the proposition received no consideration in congress. Stanford made his millions out of his railroad enterprises , very largely by methods which did not commend themselves to the approval of honest men. The most creditable work of his lifo was the founding of the university in memory of his son and'so generously endowing it that if wisely conducted it will take rank as one of the great seats of learning in this country , and perhaps in the world. Ho was generously hos pitable to his friends , was widely known as a breeder of fine horses , and hie private lifo was creditable.

FOR NEW VIADUCTS , I'lixns for TITO Now Structure * Appro veil liy thn llonril of Wnrlt * . The Fifteenth ami Sixteenth street viaduct - duct sohomcn were sent ahead another notch yesterday , and If the niinotnont is kept up , work upon the construction may bo commenced hoforo snow llio. * . At the mooting of the Hoard of Public Works morning the plans for both wcro approved , nnd the action will bo communicated to the council tonight. If the counellmoti concur - cur In the action the plans then go to Mayor Bomlsfor his signature. When thatls'so- cured City Engineer Uosowntcr will trans mit a copy of the plans nnd specifications to the Union Pnclllo and Burlington railway companies. Then will follow a roasonabla wait for the pleasures of the managers of these companies. If they signify their In tention to construct the viaducts the city authorities will have done with the mutter so far as construction Is concerned. But la case the com pan las refuse to do so , then the council nnd its legal advisors will have an opportunity to test the provisions of the now charier covering the construction of via ducts. Under the now charter the city can com pel the railway companies to erect viaducts over their tracks whenever deemed neces sary , and the companies must do the work at their expense. In case a railway com pany refuses to construct a viaduct when ordered to do so the city is empowered under the charter to do the workand assess the cost up to the company nnd collect the same. In addition to this power the failure or refusal of the company to comply with the council's orders Is made a misdemeanor , punishable by line , and each day's failure or refusal Is deter mined a separate offense. Last year steps were taken looking to the construction of these viaducts. The matter progressed as far as sending to the com panies for plans nnd specifications , and suddenly proceedings caino to an ab rupt halt. The railway managers dur pot even acknowledge the receipt of the planj. which it is presumed wcro smmly tucked away among the musty bygones genes in the vaults at headquarters. Tlio matter slumbcrod along during the winter months , und il required the brlglit sunshine of spring to awaken it. The now charter had become n law , and ono April evening the council delegated the judiciary committee to investigate the status of the viaduct case nnd to report back with recommendations. The committee investi gated and n report was returned recommend ing that the whole proceedings bn commenced anew under the new charter. The committee found that a question had boon raised .re garding the powers of the council under the old charter , nud that Its provisions wcro not so plain as those of the now. The straighten out everything and to prevent the possibil ity of the companies kicking over the traces and refusing to co ahead , now ordinances were Introduced declaring the necessity of the viaducts and ordering plans drawn and specifications prcp.ircd by the city engineer. This was done , and as soon ns the necessary red tape 19 gone through , the plans will bo approved and the com panies furnished with copies and given notice - tico that they will bo oxpoetod to construct the two viaducts with as llttlo delay as pos sible. Both viaducts nro to bo constructed of stool , iron and stone. They are whit is known as the deck viaduct and very similar to the Tenth street. The Sixteenth ono will bo 1,525 feet in leneth nnd will cost in the neighborhood of $175.000. Its width will bo fifty-eight feet Inside of the curb , Inde pendent of the eight-foot walks oincach side. In Its construction will bo used about 3,000- 000 pounds of metal. The length of the Fifteenth street struct ure will bo 1,030 feet ; its width will be the same as the Sixteenth street. It will cost about SUVi.OOO. In Us construction will bo required about 2,22T , ,000 pounds of metal. JIUJIXED ma ivi : > s Terrible Vmijyonnro Tnkon liy n Doctor on the Destroyer ot HIH Home. ADEN , Tenn. , Juno 21.

Flvo deputy auditors of the Iro.nury , wrltos the Washington correspondent of the Now York Sun , nro "hold for consideration" by Mr Cleveland , who has given Secretary Carlisle notice that ho will himself fill the oftlcos just n soon as ho sees his way clear , but no sooner. For these live ofltccs there are for each plncu at least flvo democrats , who have boon waiting over since the first month of the Administration. Every ono thinks ho is bound to bo the lucky mini. Besides those llvo candidates for every ono of the llvo tHists , every one of whom stands In the foreground and Is in his own mind certain to bo appointed , there are at least three times ns many others , every ono of whom does not for a moment doubt , ns ono or them said , that ho Is "In It ; " that U , has a fair chanco. There nro othnr ofllcos held In bunches ot flvo by Mr. Cleveland , concerning which an equal number of democrats have been equally conlldcnt for an equal length of tlmo ; whllo the number besides who also think they are "In it" Is not loss than the crowd which ] ) rcsos > arouml the five auditor- ships , There Is hardly n department whom n similar state of things does not nt present exist. The motive for this extensive nnd system atic holding up of appointments Is to unnblo the administration to exert an Influence on congress. Only In rare cases will any of the ofllces bo filled before concrt'ss has acted on certain measures entering into the adminis tration's policy , r.vory deputy auditor's place , according to Mr. Cleveland's policy , should capture the veto of at least ouo member of the house who has not yet made up his mind to favor some cortnln thing Mr. Cleveland wants done. A senator Is not dcomcu too high a price , nnd if the talk In ono case Is not nil wrong , a certain senator is as good ns won over by the promise of an appointment on the promise In return of n vote In the sonata for something which Mr. Cleveland very much desires. How many promises on both sides have been given , fulfillment depending on action after congress meets , there Is no knowing. How many consuls. United States marshals , district attorneys , presidential postmasters , collcctorshlps , and soon , are thus hold In abeyance is n matter for conjecture , Tlio president has given his cabinet to un derstand that this is his own business , this arranging beforehand for Increased strength In congress. Many ofllces that have been filled were filled In such n way as to secure the promise of votes. A prominent member of the senate llnanca committee , once notor iously loud In his declarations against Mr. Cleveland's policy , only recently said ttmt ho had been treated so klndlv by Iho president that ho would IInd it hard to deny nun any thing he might ask. That senator is today as certain for whatever Mr. Cleveland asks ns the sun is to rise tomorrow , U was foretold at the beginning of the ad , ministration tint this was going to bo ono of Its effective methods of inlluoncing legisla tion. So It has proved to bo , and the game is being played moro openly now than anyone ono than ventured to predict. Strnmlin : Hot ut Mm mir. CHICAGO , June21.
