WH15N the State Board of Public
Lands nnd Buildings appointed Mr.
Hopkins as superintendent of the now '
cell house at the ponltontiary at$5 u day
it is presumed that there was necessity
for such action. It ought by this imo
to bo pretty generally conceded that
there ia urgent need of a competent
supervisor of the work on this particu
lar structure. THE BKK is informed ,
however , that Mr , Hopkins is devoting
only about two hours a week to the du
ties of his now position , The state
board may not know this , but it has the
power to require the superintendent i to
attend strictly to business.
THE series of articles upon improved
country roadways by Mr. Curtiss C.
Turner ( which wo have boon printing ,
has brought out the salient features of
our present bad road system , and , sin-
dicated the lines along which improve
ment must . That '
go. good roads'uro one
of the crying needs of the time is denied
by no ono. The faith of this community
in the protUablonoss of such
improve
ments IIUH boon shown by the voting of
8150,000 in bonds for that purpose.
What is now wanted is tlmt this
money bo expended so as to give
the best possible results. Mr. Tumor
has shown that the existing plan of
building u road simply because n par-
tloulnr farmer has asked for it is radi
cally wrong ! that the saving olTcotoil by
good roads depends largely upon their
location and relative gradients ; that pav
ing only becomes desirable after the
roads linvo boon properly located. thoA.
careful consideration of the suggestions
of Mr. Turner ought to impress the
county oominlsslonora with the impor
tance of expending the money at their
oorumuud tit those rrada only which
conform to the principle * of soioutifla

The experiment which all the great
trunk lines are now making in running
client * oxctirslon trnina to Chicago is being -
ing wntchod with great interest in many
quarters and already the hope is bolng
frequently expressed that their success
may bo suniciontly marked to warrant
their continuance ns a permanent fontto
lire of Amorlcnn railway traffic. In
Europe , the classification of passenger
coaches nnd the development of the
tlilrd nnd fourth class passenger traffic
lias b < n carried so far that auch busl-
ness . as become the mainstay of the ro-
colpts. Tlio proportion of the Income
dorlvocl from such passenger fares Is
there estimated to ho about sovonthos
eighths of tlio total. In America , on
the other liand , the first class fares Imvo
always predominated Anil have boon
protected at the expense of Iho less payjfo
in ) , ' public.
It is said that when the cxcurslpn
train arrangement was first proposed
many railway mon feared that the total
passenger trnfllo would not thereby bo
increased , but that the main result
would bo simply to shift the piano of the
traveling public. That Is to say , It was
feared that the lower faros would not
attract peopjo who would not otherwise
travel nt all , but would simply cut Into
the hlgh-rato trallio and thus in fact
lessen the railways' receipt * . For this
reason the cheap faro tickets were bur
dened with conditions and restrictions
enli'ulatod to dlscourago these who could
afford an unlimited faro from giving up
the conveniences and luxuries of the
regular trains. Add to this the depres
sion caused by the existing monetary
stringency and the disappointment that
has been mot in the number
of people who linvo employed
their va'cation to visit the World's fair ,
nnd It Is' clear'that - experiment is
bolng tried undermost unfavorable circumstances
cumstances/
Innovations in. railway practice are
always viewed by' tho- railway olllcials in
the light of their financial returns. The
new trallio must bo of such magnitude as
to olTsot all extra expenses nnd also
bring in some contribution to the inter
est and profits accounts. As a consequence
quence most of thorn nro unwilling to say
whether or not they regard the experi Io
ment as a success. They have como to
the conclusion that a fair trial demands
that the service be maintained yet
another month and to this they have all
agreed. The president of ono of the loss
important trunk lines is reported to
have said that the excursion trains pay
and allow the road to realize some profit [
from them. But ho also states that the
cheap traffic has not increased as they
had anticipated , although it has hold its
own , and this ho attributes to the mone
tary crisis.
If the recolpts from cheap faros provo ,
to bo altogether or almost wholly addi
tional to those from the regular passen
ger travel , it may como about that some
or all of the roads will be loath to give
up that source of revenue and may con
tinue to run excursion trains utregular
Intervals throughout the year. The
western roads have been so inharmoni
ous in deciding upon the terms upon
which to conduct their cheap passenger ;
iraillu thatdecidod results are scarcely tear
bo expected from thorn. If , however ,
the eastern lines adopt a system of cheap
faros.it will bo simply the introduction
on a modified scale of the European
plan of classified coaches , and should the
. .
financial success bo all tnat Is hoped , it
will no doubt in time find universal ac
ceptation.

Too little consideration has been given
that portion of the president's message
in which ho speaks of the injury the
wngo earner must sulTor from a depre
ciated currency. It is well that every
body , but particularly the wage earners ,
should again read what the president
said. It is as follows : "At times like
the present , when the evils of unsound
finance threaten us , the speculator may
anticipate a harvest gathered from the
misfortune of others , the capitalist may
protect himself by hoarding or may
even find profit in the lluctuntioiH
of values ; btit the wage earner ,
the first to bo injured by a
depreciated currency and the last to receive -
coivo the benefit of its correction , is
practically defenseless. " It is remarkli ,
able that wage earners generally scorn
not to understand and appreciate this.
They have been found largely approving
thu demand for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver , giving their voice in
support of a policy which proposes to
allow the silver producers nearly double
the value of their silver and to go on
adding to the already enormous stock of
silver dollars , with the inoyitablo oflcct
of still further depreciating it.
It is a fact of universal observation
that capital can generally take care of
lUalf. It is ns a rule cautious , timid and
ever vigilant. Its instinct is to scent
clangor afar off and to prepare against it.
The Intelligent capitalist Is a most curei
ful student of current events In finance
and trade. IIo Is not infallible and may
make mistakes , but his eyes and ours 1 are
open to everything going on about him
and at the first note of threatened danger
to his Interests ho makes haste to guard
thorn against injury. If financial evils
obtain which threaten serious harm
capital usually finds n way to protect
itself from the most serious consoquoncoH ! ,
It can , for the most part , make Ha own
terms under almost any condition of
affairs short of general ruin. The wage
earner has no such advantages. The
capital ho possesses in his labor is con
stantly subject to the law of supply and
demand , and in order to llvo ha must
keep it In notlvo employment , but oven
if ho be omibtud to do this the result ; will
not bo satisfactory if the money for
which ho exchanges his labor is dopro-
elated and unstable. The worktngnmn
who ongugos to perform a certain BOI-V-
icn for a upoelllo sum of money must
have assurance , in order to get the just
return for his labor , that wlion the day
of payment comes the money ho will receive -
coivo will have the same pur-
chasing power as when ho com-
monccd work. Ho ia wronged
if the $2 a day which ho agreed to work
for on Monday should by the following
Saturday have depreciated so that It
would buy but $1.7C worth of the com
modltlea ho must havo. Yet ho as no
redress and no way of righting himself. :
Ho must submit to the injury or bo idle ,
for ho cannot mnko n contract to compel
his employer to make good the doprccla-
tionsof the money In which ho pays him.
Ho cannot require his employer to pny
him in gold. AH experience stands in
evidence of thiS soundness of the proposi
tion , that the wage earner la "tho first
to bo ] injured by a depreciated
currency nnd the last to receive the
benefit | of its correction. " Such being the
case it ! would BCOIU that the united .voice
nnd ( Influence 1 of the wago-oarnora of the
buslcoun would bo given In favor of that
roUnan policy .which will assure a
sdtind and atablo currency , Instead of
being largely directed , as is the.caso , to
support of the proposition for steadily
uv Increasing i , the silver currency nnd
thereby moving surely to depreciated
money and the single silver standard.
jfo class of people have a larger stake
in this matter than the working class ,
and , , they should stand firmly for the
principle [ that every dollar IssUert by
the government | , whether coin or paper , „
Hhmild bo equal in vuluo to every other
dollar.

Our Washington correspondent calls
attention to the fact that while Omaha's
chances of securing1 an Indian supply
depot In the near future are excellent
just now. yet without the active cd-op-
oration of the businessmen and their or
ganizations ! n this Community the suc
cess of the project can by no moans bo
assured. The advantages which this
city offers for the lo'cation of Mio depot
are undoubtedly great and worthy the
careful consideration of the Interior de
partment , but unless they are properly
presented they are apt to bo overlooked
in favor of those of some other city ,
whose claims are nioro vigorously
pushed.
If the merchants of this city really de
sire the Inuian supply depot they ought
to act without delay. The Commercial
club has already taken a hand , but can
oxcrt-a still greater Influence. The
Board of Trade , the city council , the
Real Estate exchangeall the commercial
organizations amT working men's unions
might unite In assisting the movement.
A memorial might bo presented through
our representation in congress setting
forth the advantages of Omaha as a dis
tributing center. It might call atten
tion to its unsurpassed geographical lo
cation , to its ample railway facilities extending -
tending in every direction , to its con
venient proximity to the various Indian ,
agencies , to its superior position as a
market for just such supplies as the gov
ernment purchases , to the advantageous
arrangements tha1 might bo made with
the United States depositories at this
point. A detailed showing of this kind
cannot fail to make a strong impression
on the secretary of the interior and with ;
the work which Secretary Morton , Sen
ator Mandorson , Tobo Castor and the
whole Nebraska delegation are doing in
Washington will materially improve
the prospects for the selection of Omaha.
The organized business men and laborers
cannot ask for what they want any too
soon.
THK OHY OF FUREIQN J)03llXATlOf.
One of the least pardonable of the
charges of the free silver men is the as
sertion that.this country is under the
financial domination of Europe , and
especially of England. It lias been
made on the lloor of congress , it was
uttered at the free coinage convention in
Chicago , and it is reiterated in the cir
cular just issued by the committee * ao-
pointed by the commission to send out
an appeal to the country. The closing
paragraph of this circular reads : "It is
as important now that wo free
ourselves from the financial dom-
ireination of Europe as it was
ryfor our fathers to free themselves
from the political domination of a for-
oign power. Let this movement bo the
spontaneous action of a * free people ,
conscious that the government is , loot
in their .hands , and conscious , too , of
their rights and with the will to main-
tain them. " This is an appeal , not to
the intelligence and the sober judgment
of the people , but to their passions and ,
prejudices , and it is essentially dcma-
gogio.
reThis country is no moro under the flnan-
cial domination ot Europe now than it
rkhas been at any lime since trade -was es-
tablished between the United States and
European countries. The domination wo
are subjected to with respect to our
financial ( system is simply that which
our grott and growing commercial ro-
latlons 1 with Eut'9po compel. Wo carry
on trade with England. Franco , Gor-
many and other European countries i to
the extent of hundreds of millions of
dollars annually. Our securities of ono
kind I and another , aggregating an onor-
mous-sum , are hold in those countries.
What ' they buy of us in excess of what
they I sell to us they settle for with' gold ,
and when the balance of trade is against
this I country Europe wants gold of
us. i Commerce between the United
States and the European countries
cannot bo carried on upon any other
basis , and if wo wore to attempt ; to
change the basis , us the free silver men
counsel , the result oguld not ho other
wise than very greatly to our disad
vantage. No American oltlzon , even on
the score of patriotism , to which the
free silver men atTuct to appeal , saying
nothing of the practical considerations ,
can deslro that the United States i bo
placed in the same relation to the great
commercial nations of Europe that
Mexico occupies , duo to the fact tlmt j
her financial system is on n silver basis.
The cry of foreign financial domination
is the cheapest sort of claptrap , and
nobody known this bettor than the men
who make the cry. England's financial
system has been on a gold basis for moro ;
than throe-quarters of a century and
when her statesmen made the departure
to monometallism they had no thought
of controlling the financial policy of the
United States. Indeed , during nearly
all of this period this country has boon
practically on u gold basis. The action
of Franco and Germany regarding silver
was taken without any reference to what
the effect might bo upon the Unlled
States. There is not the slightest
reason for assuming that those
countries over had the slightest thought
of dominating our financial policy. They
teak the course they did because- ex
perience showed it to bo the only wise
course nnd nlso ' ] > ntho ronson tlmt their
commercial rolnuvng required It. Auv
trla changed to n gold basis because with
silver she was at a great disadvantage
In trade compo/Jtlon / with other coun
tries. As a gr\jj commercial nation ,
doing business with all the world , the
United States must have , in order to
maintain Its posvllon , n financial sys
tem in accord with that of the other
great commercial ijutlons.
THE newly np'Writc'd government di
rector of the Ut qpjt'aciflo Rail way com
pany , Mr. E. Ellcry Anderson , has earned
his position , not only by his many nnd
ardent efforts In Mr. Cleveland's bohnlf ,
both before and nftor the nominating
convention of 1892 , but also by a short
apprenticeship as member of the Pacific
Kail way commission , which in 1837'sent
in a report upon the condition of the
government-aided railroads , accom
panied by eight x-olnraos of Interesting
testimony which U had hoard during Its
sessions. Prom this wprk Mr. Ander
son had an opportunity * to gain , and no
doubt did gain , an insight into the his
tory , management and workings of the
Union Pacific railway which if now re
called will servo him well in his now
capacity. Ilis term of oilico will include
the period when the debt owing to the
government by the Union Pacific becomes -
comes matured , and ho will bo expected
to have some inlluonco in deciding what
conrso congress shall pursue in connec
tion with tlio outstanding bonds. Mr.
Anderson in 1887 joined in the
majority report of the Pacific
Hallway commission , which recom
mended . the extension of the in
debtedness at n nominal rate of interest ,
not higher than 15 per cent. And ho
suggested that the lower the interest
the moro likely would it bo that the
company would bo able to moot its pay
ment. Whether ho still persists in
favoring the solution of the problem
then olTorcd is not known , but it is safe
to assume * that Mn Anderson will sup
port no radical proposition which may
ond'ingor ' the interests of tho. othor-
crcditors of tlio road or in any way
cripple the otlloiont working of the line.
EVEIIYIIODY will approve the vigor
ous way in which Secretary Greshnm
has notified the Turkish government that
American missionaries in Turkey must
bo protected. The hostility to our mis
sionaries has been manifested for some
time , but the immediate cause of the
action of our government was the recent
assault upon the missionary , Miss Anna
Melton. As toi this case Secretary
Grcsham instructed ur 'minister at Con
stantinople to pr.eaa for an immediate
and thorough investigation ot the cir
cumstances , for Jtii'e adequate punish
ment of those found guilty , and for
the future protecitlijn of our mission

zen of Europe. Einrland is watching closely
thi ) approach of great bodies of Husslan soldiers -
diors upon the northern boundaries of India.
Suspiciously largo forces of Husslan troops
are being mobilized within a day's march
of India , and John Bull is , therefore , inquis
itive and unhappy. The Husslan boar Is
reticent , as usual , as to his intentions. War
with Hussia would bo a grave thing for
England. The loss of India would mean tbo
disruption of the Uritish empire. It is not
improbable j , either. If the map of the old
world is not changed before two years pass ,
the war sharps of Europe will tyo greatly dis
appointed.

Wo wish to gently whisper in the oars ot
our pop friends who may bo inclined to take
Paul A'andorvoort's unsupported word
ns political gospel that , Bi
sins of omission or ll ,
whatever political wreck and ruin the
republicans are guilty of. Paul Vandorvoort
was with them cheek by Jowl until President :
Harrison declined to make him postmaster
of Oraauu ; that had ho received the appoint
ment ho , today , would bo pouring out the
vials of his wrath upon the deluded heads of
the pops instead of smearing them all over
with the slime of ( lattery ; that this saino
Paul has said liner things , made moro
eloquent speeches , used more logical
arguments , indulged in more cutting
sarcasm , uttered moro patriotic scntimonts
untt told the plain truth oftener in praising
-republican party -and its pension and
monetary systems than bo over mis done or
over can do in opposition thereto or in de .
nunciation thereof. A man who will thus
advocate or denounce a political party for
the sake of getting oBico is not a safe leader
nor a reliable teacher of pure politics. erA
man who advocated the principles of n po
litical party for moro than a quarter of : Oa
century and liolcl office by virtue of such ad
vocacy for nearly the same length of time ,
and who now , because his insatiable appe
tite for office was not furtlfor gratified , do-
sorLs and denounces that party , , is a political
ingi-nte and wholly unworthy the respect or
conlldonco of honest men of any party ; and
such , In brief , is Paul Vandorvoort.

that proceeding is , it is not enough to lur-
nlsh a full explanation. It may bo granted
that the silver question accounts for the
most aeuto of the existing conditions , but It
is not tbo only depressing agoncy.
The root of the trouble is distrust of the
domoeratlo policy nnd uncertainty as to how
far congrois will go In carrying out that
policy. Is there any business iniin , of any
political faith , who doubts that the carryinsr
out of the democratic currency and tariff
policies , as sot forth at Chicago , would
greatly intensify tha present troubles ?

The fixing of a
reasonable ratio between
gold nud silver would oporalo to rnhanco ho
value of the latter and dlmln Ish the value of
the former. It the conimo ro'ial nations of
the world were to agree uixm such n ratio ;
gold would bo in largo measure relieved of
the duty it now has to perform and thereby
would bo diminished in val no , while silver ,
invested with larger functions , would be en
hanced in valuo. * But these friends of silver
who make extravagant claims for it do much
to ruin its prospects by attempting to load It
down with disastrous honors. If it bo still la
monarch of metals , at least it is now u ck

It would bo specially Injurious to our nl-

Within n short time thcro has been a
marked increase in desertions from herm
United States . Under
army. certain reform
measures instituted by Secretary Proctor
desertions for the year 1839 were reduced :
below nliy figures ever shown by army
records. For ho month of July of this
year , however , 203 desertions have been
recorded , showing fin Incroaie of fifty over
ho ( taioriloiis ot July , 1894
The reasons for this Increase seem to llo
rith legislation attendant upon the last
army appropriation bill , With this Appro-
prl.Mlon ro-cnilstmonta after service of ton _ j
ears were mnilo Impossible. rK
Tlioro Is enough In this act of legislation to

The cur-tailing here depicted was probably
done by a boy , and the curtailing-
that we do this week is done for the
benefit of a boy. Wo are not cur
tailing1 expenses , but curtailing-
boys ; suits. We start the greatest
mark down sale of the ago in our
children's department , curtailing
the price of about 150 boys' 2-pieoo
suits down to $2 , and a lot of others
down to $3.50 that are all wool and in ages 4 to 14.
Boys' long-pant school suits , 13 to 18 years , cur
tailed down to $5 , $6.50 and $7.50. Some others for
more money , but these three arethe , dandies.
School caps curtailed to 50cand up , and shirt waists
the same price. Wo done a whole lot of curtailing
in the price of nur boys' underwear , hosiery and
neckwear ; in fact , we have curtailed the price on
every single thing in the boys' department to get
oo.n for other goods. Now , boys , now is your
rohance to get a cheap outfit while the price is
curtailed.
