There In good authority for the atnlo-
mont thnt the only executive communi
cation whloli will bo prcjotilod to the
extra session of congress will bo thnt of
the president , in which ho will elaborate
the vlowa briefly stntod in the proclama
tion convening congress. It Is under
stood that the racssnjjo will bo confined
to a discussion of financial conditions ,
.following the course adopted by the
president in his celebrated tariff mes
sage nt the opening of the sooond ses
sion of the Fiftieth congress. With the
idea of duly impressing the national
legislature with the gravity of
the situation nnd the Importance
of early action , It is expected that the
president will act now In reference to
silver as ho noted in 1837 in reference to
the tariff. Ho will confine his attention
to thnt ono subject , leaving the tariff
and other innttors to bo considered In
the message sent to the regular session
In December.
This is judicious. Tlio financial situa
tion BiippHod the reason for calling nn
extra session of congress , and the ur
gency lor some remedial legislation
makes It necessary that the attention of
congress shall bo wholly directed to the
consideration of the financial con
ditions and what should bo done
to remove distrust ami restore
confidence. There Is no reason
for hurrying tariff revision. The
country Is in no porll from the operation
of the tariff law and so far us can bo dis
cerned is not likely to bo. If there is
any trouble coming from that source it
is duo to the uncertainty as to how far
congress will finally go In revising the
sdiodulns. The effect of this fooling is
doubtless somewhat depressing to the in
dustries of the country , notwithstanding
the fact that it must bo a year and prob
ably longer before any general measure
of revision con go into effect. It is quite
possible that this depression will become
more marked and that there will
bo a curtailment of production
until n now tariff law shall go
into operation and the manufac
turing Industries of the country can
adjust themselves to it , but whllo this
very likely lias had a measure of influ
ence in producing existing conditions
there is no pressing necessity for dis
cussing it now. The silver question is
the ono of supreme importance and
urgency , and congress should bo asked
by the executive to devote its exclusive
attention to that question until it is dis
posed of. It would bo a great mistake
t3 complicate it with any other subject ,
or to place in the hands of the opponents
of a change of financial policy the means
to obstruct action. They may bo depended -
ponded upon to find devices enough
for this purpose without any
holp. Tlio indications are that
the contest will in any event
bo prolonged. The free silver mon
avow their purpose to use every effort to
prevent the repeal of the silver pur
chase clause of the Sherman act , and
they are making thorough preparation
for the campaign. They do not lack
skillful leadership , a number of them
being veterans in parliamentary -
faro , and they have plenty of persist
ence and determination. Their first
struggle will bo made against any
change in the rules by which fillibustor-
Ing would bo intorforrcd with , and if
they should bo successful in provcntinu
a change they would bo in a position to
carry on the fight against repeal indefin
itely. No ono is authorized by present
appearances to say that the uncondi
tional repeal of the Sherman act is as
sured.
JJISSIARCK'S OlIAKdKD ATTITUDE.
The whirligig of time brings its re
venges. No more apt illustration of
this adngo could bo cited than the senti
ments expressed by Prince Bismarck to
the excursionists from the principality
of Lippo , who were visiting him at
Friedrichsruhe.Changed conditions
oxcrt great influence over public men ,
and the character of an audience often
becomes a powerful factor in inspiring
their utterances. In this instance , the
iron ox-chancellor has turned a complete
political somersault. As imperial
prime minister , ho was the
incarnation of centralized power.
Now that ho is no longer the power be
hind the throne ho seeks to oxcrt his in-
lluonco to embarrass the dominant pa'-ty
in politics. Formerly his addresses
were issued to the whole Gorman people ,
or at least to the people of nil Prussia.
His ideal of national development was
the empire. Now ho boldly turns his
back on the policies ho formerly advo
cated and seeks to uphold the solidarity
of the principalities and small states
that constitute the German empire. The
significance of Bismarck's latest utter
ances is that he gives vent to sentiments
strongly states rights in their character.
While lie was speaking to people from
Llppo only , ho treats Llppo as the typo
of the seventeen free stnto.s which huvo
n single vote ouch in the federal council.
Ho wants those states to persist in holdIng -
Ing on to their representation as
now distributed notwithstanding the dis
parity in size , population and wealth.
Lippo , for example , with loss than
.50,000 people , has one member
of the federal council ; Hamburg ,
with ton times the population ,
is given no more. This Is a mark
of strong oanfodoratlsm , and it is this
which , J31smarck now insists , shall bo
forever maintained. "Gad preserve for
us the constitution of the oinplto a"d it
is , " ho oays. ' 'And God preserve for us
the present number of federal govern
ments , which form the federal council ,
that the latter may at all times stand by
the sldo of the Itolohstag as n legislative
co-elllolont of absolutely equal rank and
with absolutely equal rights. "
Is this the same Bismarck who once
guided the destinies of the Gorman
people and assisted in council and in war
to consolidate-a group of loosely bound
potty states into a single unified nation ?
Was this Identical Bismarck always BO
scrupulous about the rights oftho
smaller principalities ? A little investi
gation into history not yet ancient
will disclose anothpr Bismarck , a Bla-
niarok who treated the lessor prince * of
Germany with a violence that Indicated
disdain and contempt. Hid manifesto
issued upon accepting the olllco of
Prussian prime minister toward the
close of 1802 contemplated u reform in
the federal constitution of Germany
which would decrease the power of the
smaller members. Hlu attitude toward
the SchloswIg-IIolstoln question wns not
such ns to Inspire the impression thnt
ho would ho cnroful in respecting the
rights of other helpless states. Nor did
the Prussian proclamation of 1800 do *
daring the fedorntlon nt nn end , convoy
any consolntion to the princes who
might dnro to oppose the plan there out
lined. At the close of the Austra-
Prussian \vnr a few months Inter , Count
Blstnnrck himself personally rend in the
Prussian landtag n royal message
announcing the annexation of
Hanover , llcsso-Cnssol , Nnssnu nnd
Frankfort. Schloswlg-Holstoin was also
incorporated into Prussia by n. patent of
January , 1807. For these successful
efforts in trampling under foot the
rights of the smaller states , largo dona
tions were on motion of the government
voted to Bismarck.
Neither did the imperial chancellor
ship bring to light any greater solici
tude for the continued strength of the
lessor principalities. It was Bismarck
who played n loading role in the in-
trlguo thnt compelled the Bavarian
king to to propose an empire for the
llrst William. It wns Bismarck who
sought to nationalize the Gorman rail
ways. It was Bismarck who chnngod
his views upon the tariff bocnuso ho
thought it would strengthen the im
perial government. And finally it was
Bismarck who Inaugurated the dis
graceful proceedings which almost by
sheer violence forced Bremen and Ham
burg to glvp up their constitutional
privileges as free ports. And now
ho expresses his anxloty for the
future "that the national idea
mny be stifled in the boa constrictor
stricter of bureaucracy" and wishes
to introduce a now policy of seeking the
national spirit in the potty principalities
which ho has hitherto antagonized
The Gorman princes have failed in the
past to show that broadness of view
which the development of the empire
has demanded. They have been ultraconservative -
conservative and tenacious of states
rights. If the fervent prayer of Bls-
murck is granted the preservation of
the constitution as it is the path of
federalization and centralization will bo
forever obstructed in the Gorman om
piro. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
NO CAUSE fOll ALA113I.
ALLIANCE , Nob. , July 0. To the Editor of
THE BEE : I have noted with much alarm
nnd disappointment the stand many papers
take upon the Catholic question , and. as I
am n reader of THE BKB I have road upon
different occasions In your paper long nnd
pompous articles ol the doings of the Catho
lics.
lics.You
You cannot fall to note If you have kept
yourself posted upon the question , what the
Catholics nre trying to accomplish in this
country and will accomplish If American
citizens do not ito their duty.
These who are placed In n position should
fight them and will light thorn if they wish
to promulgate the interest of .American citi
zenship.
Why Is it people are demanding protec
tion from Catholics in different parts of the
state ? And why is it firearms are being
shipped in to Catholics all ever the state
labeled "groceries , " "frult-otc. ! ? And why
is it that nowapapors do not make montl6n
of this fuct and other facts equally alarming
regarding Catholic aggression ?
These facts present a very dubious aspect
to the people , for wo cannot fall to. foresee
what will Inevitably bo the result if Ameri
can citizens do not provo themselves loyal to
America and its institutions.
Oh , that I had the power to woild an in
fluence against them that newspapers and
many others hnvo.
Thoi" belief nnd creed Is a complete de
fiance and. menace to our constitution , and
every man who is a loyal citizen will fight
them.
Many keep still through fear , for they are
a dangerous class to fight , for they willstoop
to anything to accomplish their purpose , and
this fact nlono should bo enough to urouso
the people to their danger now , before it is
too late.
Does anyone know whnt this command to
Catholics , through Catholic papers , means :
"To bo ready for action on tho23d of August ,
1893. " Lot us hope and pray nnd act that it
may not mean a second St. Bartholomew's
iiussacro.
Smile , you unbelieving. Vorlly. the time
is coming1. If it is not thu 233 of August it
will come later if something is not dune to
check Catholic aggression in this country.
Mas. J. B.
THK BEE does not hesitate to assure
this particular aubscribor and all others
that may bo in u similar state of sus
pense and alarm thnt there is no danger
whatever of a Cuthollc uprising , either
on the 23d of August or any other time.
Wo regard the stories about the impor
tation of firoiU'iiH billed as groceries ,
fruit and colIlns a * a ( lotion without the
remotest shadow of uubstanco. It is too
preposterous to receive the credence of
any thoughtful man or womair.
In the first pluco , there is nothing to
prevent Catholics from buying firearms
open nnd abjvo board. There is no rea
son why they should import guns , re
volvers or swords secretly. In the next
pluco , if a religious war should really
Jjroak out In Nebraska the Catholics
would stand no show as against protest-
ants. There are fully eleven protestants -
ants and non-Catholics to every Roman
Catholic in Nebraska. And oven if such
a thing as overpowering 1,000,000 , people
by 100,000 was possible , the Catholics
would bo exterminated by the over
whelming numbers of non-Catholics that
would pour into Nebraska from other
sections of the country.
At any rate , no rational man or
woman would msumo that the 10,000,000 ,
Catholics in the United States would
dnro array themselves in arms against
53,000,000 non-Catholics. Another pal
pable fact is that the Catholics would
Hearcoly jeopardlzo their own lives and
fortunes in a conflict that must tormi-
nuto fatally , as It always has where the
odds in numbers and resources are on
ono side. "Tho Lord always lights'with '
the battalions" is an old adage. ' " -i
Right hero wo desire also testate
that THE BKB is a secular npwppapor.
It docs cot engage in religious , , controversies
"
versies on Its own account.It will
always print the news , whether it comes
from St. Peter's or St. Paul , If any
body knows where and when firearms
have boon imported secretly into this
etato by Catholics or by Protestants wo
will publish the fact. Until \\'o do have
Biiti information from u ruliablo source
wo shall trout the reports of un Impend
ing uprising us a bugbear.
I A CALL has boon issued by the St.
Paul Chamber of Commerce to similar
organizations in { t'Jq'fyinbor * W slntos , in
cluding Nobrnskal niklng them to send
delegates to n co'nvontlon to bo hold in
St. Paul , to give VJprcsston to the busi
ness sentiment re'gnrdlng the roponl of
the silver purchnSp nw. It is to bo pre
sumed that the request will bo very gen
erally responded lJind { { thnt the conven
tion will bo ropnMphtatlvo of the busi
ness Interests of tiostntc3 ! embraced In
the call. It is , , mnnlfostly important
thnt there should bo the fullest
possible oxpross'loii of opinion re-
gnrdtng the ropojil of the Sher
man act from practical business
men , nnd moreover it is desirable that
the business interests of the northwest
shall bo hoard more explicitly on this
question thnn they hnvo yet boon.
Whllo the commorclnl orgnnlzntions of
the east hnvo spoken with no uncertain
sound those of the west very generally
have boon silent. The time has como
for them to glvo utterance to their views
and to exert the influence thnt naturally
belongs to them as representing the com
morclnl interests of the section whoso
people are particularly concerned in ,
having a sound and stable currency.
The proposed convention ought to bo
largely attended , nnd if so there can bo
no doubt thnt its effect will bo good.
THE government has commenced the
task imposed upon it by the stipulations
in the purchase of the Cherokee Outlet
of expelling the Intruders from the re
mainder of the Cherokee possessions.
As was to have boon expected this will
provo no easy matter. The intruders
have organized nnd are determined to
stay. Their main hope is thnt the np-
pronching .negotiations with the five
civilized tribes for forming a rogulnr
territory of the union will result in a
recognition of their right to remain.
But ns the legislatures of the nations
have demanded tliolr unconditional re-
inovul as a preliminary to hearing any
proposition from the government com
missioners it scorns as though they
must go. It is stated that the federal
troops will bo given peremptory orders
within a few days to summarily remove
any person from the lands whom the
Cherokee nation does not Itself recog
nize as a citizen.
THE Italian Chamber of Deputies has
just adjourned for the summer holiday.
Yet wo are afforded some consolation by
the other legislative bodies of the
world's great powers. The British
Parliament is still steadily grinding upon
the homo rule bill. ( The French Depu
ties and Senate Tare employing their
surplus time in investigating the causes
of the recent studqn ripts in Paris. The
Gorman Reichstag-has begun to wran
gle over the adoption of the notorious
army bill. Nor wui we have to wait
long until our own unapproachable con
gress commences t/6 dispense to its con
stituents huge chunira of financial learn

be missed.
THE Kansas City gas company offers
the city council a funningTjonus of 3 per
cent of the gross rbqoiptg.in considera
tion of the rcwcwal ol its charter for
thirty years. The city council may not
accept the oiTor , as the franchise Is cer
tainly worth moro , but the fact that the
offer was made , is an indication that th e
people of at least ono , city in the wes
are waking up to the value of municipal
franchises.
IT will bo gratifying to every old
soldier to learn that the decision of the
attorney general that the secretary o ;
war has authority under the law to
obtain lands at Gettysburg by condem
natory proceedings is likely to put
summary stop to the further desecration
of tlio famous battlefield by the trolley
railroad company.
A WELL KNOWN populist leader tem
porarily sojourning in Omaha , boasts
that a crop failure will bo to the advant
age of the third party. There is food 1
for reflection in the fact that the state
ment is true. Nothing will bias a man's
political views so much as discourage
ment and financial disaster.
IOWA democrats who wish to enter
Boles for a third term must fully
appreciate the pastoral homily about
toting the donkey to tlio water trough.
They may enter him for the guber

The profercnco that the president shows
toward young men in making his appoint
incuts is quito natural. Young men have
energy and their minds nro free from the
prejudices of the past. Besides , n younf ,
man is not so likely to have burdened htmsol
with an embarrassing political record or to
have so much that needs forgiveness in the
line of personalities uttered in the heat of a
campaign as an older politician. The oldc
war horses have moro training , but the
youup-sters are not likely to bo quito so
heavily handicapped.

prices way down. There are
some beauties among1 them.
There is also a big- wad of these

wo must g-et rid of this week.
Straw hats must 'go , too.
They're marked down about
one-third.
On second floor the children's goods are getting-
a cut also. That lot of boys' vacation suits at $1.50
are worth nearly twice as much money. Reduc
