ONLY ? 700,000 is to bo dumped into the Biff Muddy this year under the su pervision ( f the Missouri river commis sion. There need bo no fear that the commission will allow any of its allot ment to remain unoxnonded. THE pan-American movement Is not dead. The congress to bo hold in its bo- half'at Washington in September should Bcrvo to renew interest in tho.laudablo efforts now making to unify the commer cial policies ol the American republics. THE endorsement by Secretary Car . . lisle of the policy of purchasing silver only at the murkot price will bo a last ing lessen to the silver owners , who im agined that they could .force the govern ment to take their oilers at any price they might name. THE assessed valuation of the railroads of Kansas has been increased by 21 per cent for ISlKt as compared with 1892. If this rate of increase wore introduced into the Nebraska valuations for a few years , the railways would in the course of time catch up to the ratio of individ ual assessments. V NOVKI/TIKS in campaign attractions nro again in order. Iowa populists pro pose to introduce a traveling concert company to inflict tlio public with politi cal verses. May wo suggest that the party which monopolizes a first-class circus will bo the one that will secure popular favor at the polls. THAT brilliant scheme for combining gold and silver into ono alloyed coin 1ms emerged once moro from some newly awakened Rip Van Winkle. Where has the author been hiding these many years during which the same proposition lias boon so repeatedly put forth and as repeatedly exploded ? Dons an injunction issued by a court restraining parties from violating the laws make their observance any moro Biicrod ? If the Kansas minors hare no regard for the laws protecting the prop erty of their former employers , an order of a court will bring thoni to a bettor Bonso of duty only because the courts are moro careful to enforce tholr own orders than tlio statutes enacted by the legis lature. WHAT otherwise might have boon a rather surprising move on the part of the French Chamber of Deputies in closing its sesHlon befova the settlement of the Siamese nlTuir is to bo explained by the fact tnat the general elections for a now Chamber are not u month oil. The Siamese question will have ample sway from now on upon the Hold of French politics. \ favorable turn will bo the saving of the present ministry while any humiliation that Franco might HiilTer would bo certain to occasion nn adverse majority in ; ho now Par liament. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ THE vordlot of guilty rendered lu the now celebrated No why pension fraud case stamps us an impostor ono of the cleverest actors upon thestago of life to day. If Nowby is not Nowby , but rather Jionton , ho has succeeded insist remarka bly in impersonating his original to a perfection which secured recognition from the wife of the real union veteran. i It has been asked in one quarter wtiy so great expense was incurred by the pen- . Blon bureau to convict Denton when the sum at stake is comparatively insignifi cant. It is not so much the amount of the pension , but the fact that a fraud was committed upon the government and upon the bonu ildo soldiers of the country that required .prosecution. Those who accept the verdict of the jury have no reason to complain over the ftutioa of the pension ofllciala. TIIK KA..I/J OK TJ/l/rT / / Clt.iXUhii K.vPrusldont Hnrrlsan shows a oloar perception of the caunes which have oro- nted the prevailing want of confidence when hu says that the threatened swcol - Ing revision of the tariff has rjulto as much to do with It ui silver hos. The intelligent judgment of the country Is beginning to recognize this. The demo cratic party came intdiiower pledged to destroy tlio policy of protection on the extraordinary ground that it Is uncon stitutional arid to reduce all duties to a strictly revenue basis. A democratic congress and executive elected upon this pledge must redeem it or betray - tray the trust reposed In thorn by the people. The popular de mand distinctly Implied in their elec tion they must moot or confess that the declaration mmlo by the party in na tional convention was not honest and sincere. It Is the apprehension that a majority of the party will Insist upon complying with this demand that is leading manu facturers to close tholr mills and work shops , throwing thousands otit of employ ment at a tlmo when , under normal con ditions , Industries should bo active. Kvory cotton mill owner who has 'ro- contly phut down explained that hu did so because o the threatened tariff legisla tion , I ho outcome of which no ono la wlso enough to foresee. Practical business men will not go on accumulating stocks of gocds at the current cost of their manufacture In the presence of a danger that nil tho'proflt on thorn may bo swept away by tariff changes or that they maybe bo loft on tholr hands in consequence of n destructive foreign competition. Therefore as a matter of self protection manufacturers either stop production entirely or curtail operations to the re quirements of an assured demand. There is probably more unemployed labor in the country now than there has boon bo- .fore in twenty years and there Is every reason to fear that within the next three months the army of idlers will bo greatly increased. This is really the most soriotfs feature in the situation , because it is oner that cannot bo remedied by financial legislation , however wise that may bo. The repeal of the btlvor purchase clause of the Sher man "act will doubtless ro-estubllsh con fidence so far as the money of the coun try is concerned. It will remove all danger 01 the country drifting to a single silver standard , will strengthen faith in our securities abroad and put a chock to their return , and it is possible that It would result in bringing back a part of tlio gold wo have sent to Ktiropo during the past year all very much to bo de sired but it will not start up tie ] indus tries that have shut down because of a fear of radical tariff changes. It is to little purpose to say to these manufu'tturers that President Cleveland is believed not to approve the attitude of his party toward protection and that ho can bo depended upon to prevent such a revision of the tariff as would result in injury to the industries of the country. It is probably not to bo doubted that the president takes a moderate view of what should bo done in revising the schedules. Tiioso- who nro assumed to have au thority to speak for him say that his economic policy is opposed to any revision of the tariff which will injure the people's industrial in1 torests or joopardi/.o thoir. prosper ity. IIo is fully committed to revision of the existing law , but not to the extent necessary to sacrifice the principle of protection. It is undoubtedly entirely safe to count upon the inlluenco of Mr. Cleveland being given against the free trade element in his party , but while this is well as far as it goes , nobody can feel certain that the president will be able to prevent such a blow being struck at the system of protection as may prove very damaging , if not disastrous , to every industrial intoro&t affected by the tariff. As wo have before suggested it referring to this subject , the president can do the country a very great service and materially help toward the restora tion of confidence if he will announce , in his message to congress two weeks from today , that ho will not approve a revision vision of the tariff involving the abandonment donmont of protection as demanded it the domccratic national platform. I'HKStnKXT OhKVKh.lttn'S IlK.trTII. President Cleveland is still sojournin ut 13u/surd's Buy , where ho ia recuperatIng Ing preparatory to entering upon tlio ar duous work thnt will como with the us Bumbling of congress , August 7. It I Btatcd thnt no time hus boon sot for tin president's return to Washington , nnd i is prolmblo that ho will remain where there is good fishinguuU wholesome soi air until within a few days hoforo tin mooting of congress. There can ho iv doubt that It is necessary for the president dent to tuko the best possible euro of hi physical health. The doctors en , lie has no organic disease , bu ho is troubled with rhciuna tlsm , ami n man as oor pulont as Mr. Cleveland is , with a tendency doncy to the taa < ly accumulation of ad ] pose tissue , cannot bo too careful. There Is undoubtedly a conaidornbl Holieltttdo roqardlng the president' health. Tlio number of people Is vor liirgo who would regard the death of Mr. Cleveland nt this tlmo , or his por- muncnt disability , as a public calamity of the most serious character. The site- cession of VIce President Stevenson to the olllco of chief executive would in the opinion of a very largo majority of the people bo a grnvo misfortune. The fool 1- ing was very well Indicated lu HU edi 1l l- torial publlfehod u short time lo lh in the Phllldelphlu Jstljcr , In whioh It was Kitia : "VIco President Steven- Hon's polloy with reference to the llnan- it olul and ooanomlo quostlons which are now HO prominently hoforo the country Is not HO thoroughly understood as is the president's , but It Is sufllclontly under stood to jjivo the country cause to regard with apprehension the probability , or the possibility even , of his succeeding inu. the near future to tlio presidential ollicu. Whatever his ability , his patriotism may be , it is not felt that the ship ofm Htuta would bo so well directed by him as by Mr. Cleveland , and the ti that the latter should oontlnuo ll ! command of it during his entire - tire term is natural and rea sonable. " The vice president is Uln several important respects a very differ- enl man front the president. Ho Is n more oxtrotno partisan than Mr. Cleveland - land , hoIM \ narrower views of jwlltlcat duty , and his sympathies are altogether with that wlnjr of the party which Is essentially sectional In character. With Mr. Stevenson In the presidential olllco no measure of legislation which the south might demand would fall to ro- colvo his approval. It is unquestionably true that the country has confidence In the good In tentions of Mr. Cleveland , especially with reference to the question that Is now uppermost In the public mind. People may have doubts as to the extent of the president's ' Information regarding financial matters , but they bollovo that ho sincerely doiiros to do what Is best ' for tho'interests of the country. It Is the same with respect to the tariff. Mr- Stevenson Is In full accord with the anti- protection declaration of the ilomc- crattc national platform. IIo bolloves that the principle of protection Is uncon stitutional and that tlio government has no power to levy duties , except for revenue. With Stevenson as president the free trade clement of the democracy would bo in the ascendant. Mr. Cleveland - land is understood to hold the opinion that protection is not unconstitutional and that the country Is not prepared for free trade or anything like free trade. It Is this wide difference in the posi tions of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Stevenson - son that loads thoughtful people to feel a great deal of solicitude respecting the health of the president and causes every announcement of his physical condition to bo read with interest TI1K CUUXTV rilKAHUnKlt'S STATK- MHXT. The county .treasurer's somi-nnnual statement now given to the public shows soma very Interesting facts that deserve careful study by the taxpayers. At the commencement of the year , January ! , ury of 8197)3T.8."i. ! ) This balance has not diminished during the six months just elapsed , but had increased on July 1 last toi30,148.1l ; ) . The receipts during the your wore $087,033.23 , so that the total amount which passed Into tlio treasury during the half year was 8885- , 04S.08. The miscellaneous foes collected in the county treasurer's ofllco footed up during the six months under considora- tion tlio sum of $17,440.20 , whereas they amounted to loss than $17,001) ) during the entire period of the preceding year. These fees served to cover into the treasury a neat sum after paying the whole salary list of these employed in their collection. They afford another illustration of the wisdom of placing public officials upon salaries and requir ing all fees by thorn collected to bo turned in in the same manner as other public income. Improvements are seen in many other features of the statement. Back taxes have boon collected upon levies as an cient as 1802. The levy for 1801 has boon cleared up to 90 per cent -of its face , while a good beginning' has been made in completing that of 1892. Iloro again we see renewed evidence to empha size the absurdity of allowing- warrants to bo drawn upon So per cent of the levy whether that amount is collected or un- collcctcd. In the matter of outstanding registered warrants sorao credit must be given for reducing the amount drawn against the general fund to $80 , ' ! . , ' ! ; } . Yet in three county funds the soldiers' re lief fund , the hospital building fund , the hospital judgment fund the outstanding warrants exceed the balances , leaving u deficit on account of the overdraft. The value of the statement might bo en hanced by the addition of separate totals for the state and county collec tions. Taken altogether , the finances of Douglas county appear to bo in n very good condition in much better condi tion , at any rate , than they have boon for some years. TilK situation of the Colorado miners who are being driven eastward by lack of employment and actual physical want is no less pitiable than remarka ble. Men who had boon lured to the silver country by tales of untold wealth , who have been earning excellent wages and have cither spent all or lost their sayings in the collapsed banks , are driven to force their way upon the rail roads and to accept the charity of the wayside towns. So then the only choice is to leave Colorado or remain there to starve. In the cast their chances are but slightly improved because they are not accustomed to anything but mining labor while the labor market there' is already overcrowded. If they secure work it will only bo by driving others out of their positions. Something must bo done to relieve their distress and tide them over the present period of financial distrust. This is the pitlablo side of the situation. The remarkable sldo arises in connection with the attitude of the railways. The so-called soulless cor porations seem to have discovered tholr souls and are doing all in their power to assist tlio unemployed miners to roach places where they may either seek worker or find friends or relatives \ylio will help them in tholr nood. A resolution of thanks was passed not long ago In re sponse to the kindly assistance of an Il linois railroad in behalf of the cylone sufferers at Pomeroy. The railways of Nebraska deserve equally well for tholr present action from all those who hold the interests of well-intentioned but un- fortutmto laborers at heart. IT IS reported that several prominent democratic senators who have been i among the most ardent advocateu of free silver and were also opposed to the re peal of the Sherman law will now favor the repeal of that act , and it is inti mated that putronago has had some thing to do with their conversion. The I prospect of a measure for the repeal of the silver purchase act passing the senate ate thus becomes moro favorable , but this will not nocossurlly shut out a free coinage bill nnd it U believed that such u bill will be presented and passed in the senate and may bo got througn the house , though this is loss likely. It isinol doubted that u measuroof this kind would encounter the presidential veto , which would of course dispose of it , since u sufficient mtinbor could not bo found in either branch of congress to puss a free coinage bill ovt > ri the executive veto. In such a way ti'f'lMs ' , it Is believed by mnny , is It nlon possible to socura a fluspenslon of bulliim purchase ? . It IB suggested that afioi1 a presidential veto of free coinage tjjoyji may como sensa tional and uxcltln jlovolopmotits , for it Is generally ngrol'll1 ' that the coming con gress is likely toftqjpio wildest that 1ms assembled s Inco.Uo : { days of the cf vll war. K farmers of .tho United States are likely to find the hay crop ono of the most valuable ofiu | year , owing to the failure of the crop abroad nnd the cer tainty of a largo and steady demand. With liny nt $30 a ton on the continent of Europe nnd n big crop just harvested and being gathered in this country , the farmers oughtto put some money in tholr pockets. It Is believed that the hay crop of the United States this year will not mor than the wheat , and It is highly probable that the European demand for our corn will bo considerably larger than any previous year. The wheat crop is short abroad , and as there will not be a very great surplus In this coun try it would scorn Inevitable that Europe will need moro than the usual amount of our corn , both for human food nnd stock food. The outlook ) so far as the foreign markets are concerned , appears very promising for the American farmer nnd ho will probably have no reason to complain of a material reduction in the domestic demand , though there is u possibility of some decline in the homo consumption. TilK average layman 1ms never been able to clearly discern the logic of class ing sudden deaths as duo to "heart failure. " And now the registration and sanitary committee of Philadelphia pub licly stigmatizes the practice as a super ficial nnd harmful habit. Hereafter a burial certificate will not bo issued in that city on the certificate of death of heart failure when unaccompanied with the disease from which the heart ( ailuro occurred. The committee says : "This term has never been placed "on the list of diseases adopted by this board , it being looked upon as n result of some other illness from which the patient was suffering. Furthermore , It furnishes nn opportunity to conceal contagious dis eases , and thus permits the ignoring of the rules of this bourd , cither innocently or designedly. " It is evident these pro fessional medical men recognize what the unprofessional always have done , that heart failure is'an effect and not u ' cause. , . THE failure of the western railroads to como to an understanding concerning the inauguration of fbdu'cod rates to the World's fair is disappointing to the people ple as well as to Iho exposition direc tors.
