NO EFFORTS should bo spared to induce - duce the Brotherhood of Railway Train men to establish its general heatfquar- torrf in Omaha. The work of the local members should bo supplemented by action of our commercial bpdies. POLITICIANS innumerable have an nounced their retirement from the field of politics. Governor Boles is the last one to ilo so. Retired politicians in " numerable have in ado their rcappear- "anco upon the field of politics and Gover nor Boies may bo the next one to do so. PEOFJVE should not bo pvor hasty in .condemning1 those city ollicluls who are telling1 the incoming Colorado miners to "movo on. " Towns which might take care of a few immigrants coming singly are being deluged by the extraordinary influx occasioned by the present silver crisis. Ouu friends in the democratic ranks who are watching for federal patronage to come their way must not let the gyrations of the Hon. Mutt Miller drop out of their sight. The district attor- , noyship can not bo given to two Mutts at the same time. Some InolTonsivo third party ought to step up and sacrifice him self to the bourbon cause. THE spectacle presented by the mer chants of Lincoln in flying to the district court for an injunction to prevent the the State Board of Transportation from reducing railroad rates is a fit subject for the comic stage. The threats of the board have not in the least alarmed the people , who know that it is simply act t- ing a part at the instance of the rail * road prompter. SCHEMES for colonial aggrandizement seem to bo popular in Europe just now. Only recently Belgium amended her con stitution inorder to enable her to acquire - quire the Congo Free Stnto. Now Franco has extended her jurisdiction in the east at the risk of war. England , Russia and Germany will have to exert themselves to keep the balance of power In counterpoise. THE decision of the Denver authorities to give no relief to thu unemployed mlnortt nxcopt to such as are willing 11Of ing to work upon the streets of that city will soon sift the honest from the dishonest.

The ndvlco coinoi from various sources < , Irrespective of politics , to stop the sraru which 1ms no much to do with ' continuing the oxUtlng depression. It is I ; good ndviuo. The man kno.vs little of the resources and the recuperative energy of this country who fancies that It is on the road to ruin. There are splendid crops growing which will add hundreds of millions of dollars to the national wealth. The promise is that every bushel of wheat above the de mands of homo consumption will bo wanted in Europe , that thcro will bo an unprecedented demand from abroad for our corn and our lucnts , and that wo shall export of nearly everything that our farmers produce a larger amount than for many years. This means two most important things a return of gold and the profitable mar keting of our agricultural products. The supply of currency lu the country is nearly if not quite as largo as it has over been , and if all of it were available that is , if it were in circulation in stead of being locked up by banks and Individuals would bo ample for the transaction of the legitimate business of the country on the most prosperous basts. All thcso are most encouraging conditions which , if rightly understood , It j would seem must at once have the ofTcct to remove distrust and re store confidence. That thov are widely understood . there can bo no doubt , and the tt question is , why do they not produce the elTeot reasonably to bo expected. Mr. William C. Whitneywho did more , perhaps , thnn any other one man to se cure the election of Mr. Cleveland last year is ono of those who advise that the scare bo stopped. In a recent interview Mr. Whitney said that ho did not re gard thu repeal of the Sherman act as a' panacea , but merely a palliative. "Tho currency question , " ho said , "is not the most vital ono with which wo have to deal. The poison llos deeper. No tem porary anodyne of financial legislation will eradicate it. The silver scare will not be long over before some other scare will begin , unless wo go to the bottom tom of the trouble and got the business and industry of the country oT ) the arti ficial basis upon which it is being con ducted and upon solid ground again. The country ! ? prosperity will never bo permanently established while an annual tax of $300,000,000 or $400,000,000 is laid upon its industries. " It is the tariff which , in the opinion of Mr. Whitney , is at the bottom of the trouble , and ho urges that when the silver scare is out of the way there should bo no delay about tariff reform. Has tt over oc curred to Mr. Whitney and those who think as ho does that perhaps the un certainty and apprehension as to what the democratic party will do with the tarilT may have something to do with the scare which they would have stopped. It should be remembered that there was no indication before the last presidential election that tho.pcoplo were scared. Distrust and doubt and fear have boon developed since. Since the democratic administration came into power the government has purchased onlynbout 20,000,000 ounces of silver bul lion , \thorobv adding a few million dol- l-ira to the moro than $1,500,000,000 of currency. Is it not obviously .absurd to assume that this alone accounts for the depression in business , the closing of mills and the general curtailment of in dustries ? No rational man will believe that if wo had only the silver ques tion to settle there would bo any such condition of affairs as exists. The fact that the party in power is pledged to overturn the economic policy which has prevailed for moro than thirty years , forcing a readjustment of all classes of industries to now conditions , has had a very potent influence in producing the present situation , and it is doubtful whether the scare will subside until the country knows definitely how far the democratic party will go in its fight on protection or to put it moro clearly , perhaps , how far it will go in the diroo- tion of free trade. There is abundant faith.in the rospurcos of the country , but very little confidence in the wisdom of the party in control of the govern i- ment. IlHQVlltlXll SIXIT DAYS' NOTICE. The fcattiro of the past week in finan eial circles is the resolution of the presi dents of all the savings banks in New York and vicinity to enforce the rule requiring elxty days' notice before de positors will bo allowed to withdraw , their deposits. It has boon -known for some time that savings banks all the country over have boon Buffering a con- sldorablu contraction of the resources. Every now and then , when demands 9.y 9.f ) creditors came too suddenly upon any particular banks , the weaker ones have been compelled to give way and failures have been the result The savings banks , as a rule , hold deposits of small sums placed in their keeping by hard working laborers , who do not understand the theory and practice of banking. The more ignorant no doubt bttliovu that their money is simply kept on hand for their liit call , while many others imagine that itd the assets of the blink can bo converted into currency at a moment's notice. Be - cause under ordinary circumstances they are permitted to withdraw their lilt deposits on demand , they fail to sou that the concerted withdrawal of deposits lty > any largo number of depositors mean ruin to the banking institution. It is isv owing to those facts that runs on sav - ings bunks are of moro frequent occurrence - ronco than runs upon hanks dealing on'y ' ' with members of the business com - miinity. It la also on this account that the banks reserve the right to onforc thu rule for sixty days' notice of with - drawal. Whether it is advisable to enforce thl ) rule is a question upon which there may bo wide difference of opinion. 'The eastern savings banks have found that they were experiencing a email but con > tinuous shrinkage of their deposits , and although few of them have as yet been ! seriously embarrassed by thin state of affairs , they were gradually coming tea a position where a Buddou demand might force them to full back oa the rule un der stress of necessity. This they con cluded would prove disastrous to many of their number and hurtful to all. To apply the rule of notice by united action Mid at * time when no immediate dan- wa ln vlow , npponral to them to Ira ilio wlsosv policy lo IIIIMIIO. Hy this mentis they cnn mil A sudden oliifok to the lo of doposltsj tlino will bo given for the restoration of confidence and nt the end of the period , the batiks will bo In no worse condition than at present were no such rule In existence. On the other hand , they obtain time to strengthen their position. The dispatches announce , however , that instead of quieting the fears of de positors , the presidents' agreement concerning - corning the rule of notice ha had the Immediate result of precipitating small runs upon all of the banks. Those de manding their deposits were met with the enforcement of the rule a move which no doubt failed to inspire them with any greater confidence. These de positors might possibly have demanded their monny in the absence of t < ho recent action of the banks and when the slxjy days expire they may bo content to leave their money uncalled for , but for the present their restlessness must bo in creased. Wore a single savings bank to fall back upon this rule , It could not but injure its ruputation among the people , but when all act together no ono bank can suffer by comparison with the others. All must suffer together. This may bo bad policy , as many contend , since it loaves the weak banks unsup ported by further resource when the period of notice shall have elapsed. It affords present rollef to the banks at the risk of embarrassing disadvantages in the near future , but it denotes a confi dence In nn early recovery from the present stringency , which is noteworthy , coming as it does from the whole body of eastern savings banks presidents. TI1K CHANCES OP HKl'K.lL. The Fifty-third congress will assemble in extra session ono week from today. The question as to the chances of a re peal of the silver purchase clause of the Sherman net is one of paramount in terest. According to the careful and well-informed correspondent of the Philadelphia Lcd'jer there is no room for doubt that a largo majority of the members of the house favor repeal. The public utterances of members establish this , and while many want' a sub stitute of some kind most of those will vote for unconditional re peal , if the question should bo so presented. The correspondent admits , however , that much depends upon the rules to bo adopted and upon the management of those who may bo in charge of the measure. Unless the rules forbid the right to filibuster , the silver men will bo able to control a sufficient number of votes to prevent the majority from doing anything not agreeable to the minority. It is assured that an effort will bo made to materially curtail if not positively forbid filibustering , but it is evident that the democrats who de sire such a change in the rules will have no little difficulty in bringing it about , and must rely upon republican votes to effect It. The plan proposed is to introduce u measure repealing only the first section of the Sherman act , which would put a stpp to the pur chase of silver , leaving terms of agree ment for future operations in silver to be considered , after repeal is accomplished. While the chances of passing a repeal measure in the house thus appear to bo good , " the prospect of gottins such a measure through the senate seems also to have improved. Senator Stewart of Nevada , ono of the most uncompromis ing advocates of silver , was reported a few days ago as having admitted that repeal would bo accomplished , and when ho is prepared to capitulate there will bo few who stand with him who will bo dlsposod to hold out. It is not oxpectcd that any rule will bo adopted in the senate to restrict debate or to prevent recourse to any of the tac tics known as filibustering. Under the time-honored practice of the senate the advocates of free coinage might fight re peal indefinitely , and so far as this congress is concerned , talk it to death. The admission of Senator Stewart war rants the inference that it is not the in tention of the silver senators to take the fullostadvnntagoof their prerogative. It would bo a mistake to assume , however , that the free silver advocates in both branches of congress will not make a vigorous and determined struggle to avert the defeat of the policy they represent. Even though they know they are fighting a iorlorji hope , they may bo expected to contest every Inch of the ground and to lower their flag only when compelled to do BO. TODAY is the last of the month and thus far only 2,072,000 ounces of silver have boon purchased by the treasury un der the provisions of the Sherman silver purchase law. Unless there are largo of fers accepted at the market price before tomorrow , the month's purchases will for the first time fall far short of the author ized amount , If the silver owners could only bo induced to refuse to soil except at prices above what Secretary Carlisle -thlnkrt the market warrants , and the hocrotary should porsiU in his policy of refusing to buy on such terms , wo would have without further legislation what would practically amount to the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law. If the sliver advocates are socortain that a stoppage of silver purchases by tha treasury would result so disastrously to the country , here is an opportunity for them to prove their assertion and to convince their opponents by one brief experiment. STOCKHOLDERS of Nebraska railways who have plunged into the wholesale in : i- junction business may learn something to their advantage If they como to Ne braska. It is highly probably that sif they compel the line officials to report the number of passes given on political account the past two years an order will bo prayed for to restrain the officials from deadheading u majority of the del 1. egates to Btato and county conventions. ( ' Those ofilciuls'inuy also huyo to explain to the owners of the roads , why oyory attorney of any prominence in the state is given an annual pass for alleged In fluence. They might also have to ex - plain why the lieutenant governor was providcdwith blank puss books during the campaign last year and why that state official was provided with a bunch o. conductors' checks with which ho passed n train I load of lotflMators mid camp fol lowers to nnd from Kruuumt on llio occa sion of tlio Orntlll iVrmy cnoiutipmont. The great mass //shippers / / and pro ducers of this stnto , wlio contrlbuto most ofu the business of 'this' ' roads , nru vltnlly Interested to knoiv wl/y / the stockholdora ofvl the roads do not put n stop to this wholesale distribution of favors to poli ticians who have IjWli to ylvo In return. VN. venture to say that If the owners of Nebraska . roads will enjoin the giving of > asses in this state1 , | ) ioy will have no complaint to make on the score of ro- luced earnings. ' Tin : real extent of the lack of confi- lonco which now' s'efoms to bo general throughout the United States could not bo bettor illustrated than by the decision reported to have boon reached by the savings banks' presidents In Now York and Brooklyn by which they agreed to enforce the rule requiring sixty and thirty days' notice for withdrawals of deposits. According to the telegraphic dispatches , they propose to require sixty days' notice for all sums over $300 nnd thirty ! days' notice on all lessor sums. The purpose of such a policy is of course to check the constant decrease ccof ofb the savings banks' deposits , which has boenso < _ noticeable for over a month. It isdi hoped that by the expiration of the designated period confidence will bo irtl whole or partly restored and that those persons who have made use of the required notice will then decide not to avail themselves of the privilege which .then becomes their right. In the meantime the banks will bo in a position to fortify themselves against the expected tiP pected contraction of their liabilities and will bo nblo to pay all letrltimato claims ! that may arise from time to time. The only questions that they must ask themselves arc whether the adoption of this rule is expedient at the present moment , whether it does not tend rather 11t to ( add to and prolong the lack of con fidence on the part of the depositors , and whether in the lonjr run it will , in fact , benefit the banks. These are the prob lems that confront every savings bank when its deposits are threatened , and they Have not always boon determined the same way. The numerous experi ments now being tried in enforcing and iib overlooking the rule for notice may be expected to civo some data upon which to base action in similar cases that may arise in the future. SOME prominent commercial bodies have recently expressed themselves in favor of allowing the national banks to issue notes to the par value of the bonds deposited to secure circulation. The bunks can now only , issue notes up to 00 per cent of the par value of the tionds , and as they must pay a consider able premium in ordqr to get the bonds i thorn is little induoamont to issue notes. In the last twenty "years the capital 1 stock of the mitiqtial banks has in creased from $403,00 000 to about $700- , 000,000 , , yet their * circulation has fallen off from 8348,000,000 , to 3171,000,000. , That is , while { hojjcapital has grown nearly one-half the circulation has shrunk over one.'half ! and instead of the two being approximately equal , as they were then , the capital stock-is now.'moro ' than four timbs'the circulation. If the banks .wore allowed to issue notes up to the full par value of the bonds it would at once increase the circulation about 819,000,000 , and would encourage still further enlargement as the business of the country demanded it. The guar antee of safety would bo ample , since there is absolutely no likelihood of United States bonds going below par. The proposal to do this will doubtless bo made at the coming session of con gress , but it is hardly probable that it vill carry. THIS is an off year in Nebraska poli- > ics. But the circumstances are such that it is of'the utmost importance that a man bo elected for the supreme bench vho will not betray the people. For iftoon years the producers have sought the enactment of a law which would insure - sure reasonable railroad rates. Such a aw now graces the statutes. Its enforco- uont will bo fought with bitterness and tenacity. The roads will contest the ight of the state to regulate their tolls. The courts will bo invoked upon every irotoxt to declare the law uofectivo or unconstitutional. The experience of [ owa teaches us that the contest will not jo abandoned by the railroads until they are compelled to obey the law.

Dr. John Kae , whoso death at the ripe ago of SO years is announced from London , was perhaps the most famous of arctic explorers after Sir John Franklin.

Those who have passed the period of "love's young dream" doubtless remember how regard for the father grow in proportion to love for the daughter.

The society did not roach n iletiiuto conclusion and adjourned in confusion.
