DI.IITtHl AND CIIKIHTOH In the course of the financial discus sion In tlio house of representatives Tuesday the declaration was made by an advocate of the free coinage of silver that "tho present fight was between the debtor and creditor classes. " This is a favorite assertion with the people who advocate a policy thnt would lead the country to a debased currency , and unfortunately - fortunately it is accepted as sound by millions of thoughtless or prejudiced persons who either cannot or will not see how fallacious it is. If the people who make this assertion were asked to deflnoand separate the creditor classoJ they would find it impossible to dose so in n way that would stand Investi gation , for the obvious reason that atone ono time or another nearly everybody is both creditor and debtor. Of course , those who endeavor to create antag onistic classes of those who ewe money and those to whom money is owed will say that the bankers belong exclusively to the creditor class. But is this true ? Bankers do not loan their own money , except to a very limited extent. They handle the money of other people depos ited with them. For every dollar thus placed nt the disposal of a banker by a manufacturer , a merchant , a wage earner , or whoever ulso , bo becomes n debtor , and in this way the bankers ol the country ewe now hundreds of mil lions of dollars to their creditors , the depositors. Those funds are loaned out on various forms of security and the borrowers become indebted not ir reality to the bankers , but to the poopk who supplied the money to the banks tt bo thus made use of , so that , by way o illustration , the farmer or the wage earner who borrows a few hundred dollars lars to improve his farm or his IIOUM may hnvo as his ultimate creditor an other farmer or wage earner. The banker does not make his money bi loaning his own capital altogether , bu from commissions in the form of intorcst which he obtains for bundling the capi tal of others. Ho is a creditor only to i very limited extent , while ho is a debto to a very largo extent. How is It with the manufacturer am merchant ? As a rule they are alway debtors. There are comparatively fev great industrial and mercantile estab llshments in the country that are no constant borrowers of money. They ar compelled t8 give credit in order to d business , carrying from tens of thou sands to hundreds of thousands on thoi books. They are enabled to do this b becoming themselves debtors. Th agricultural producer is a creditor who he consigns his products to market an does not at once receive in exchange for i cash or its equivalent. The wage earns is a creditor of his employer until th labor ho has 7'ondored is paid for at th end of the day , or week , or montl when by arrangement ho shall recoiv his wage. Obviously the vast majority of th people in this country are both debtor and creditors , BO that to attempt to SOT arato them into antagonistic classes i manifestly an impossible task. Thos people who are best entitled to bo callo creditors are not the rich men who av engaged in banking , in manufucturin and in trade , but tha .minions of worl ing people whoio smull savings aggn gate aii.ono'rmous sum invested in var "oils" ways , and those -would suitor in measurable injury from a debased cu roncy , while the only class that coul bo benefited are the comparative ] small number of debtors who ewe mot than is owing to them , and oven th class of debtors would bo benefited on ] in respect to their old debts. It is tin that men who assume to .have some i ; tolligcnco nnd discrimination droppi this fallacy about debtor and croditi classes , so far as this country is coi corned. They do not exist lioro as di tinct elements of the population , or i any rate not in suck numbers us to mat it necessary to consider them in conne tion with a financial policy in violatii the interests of the great body of tl people and the prosperity and wolfa ; of tlio country. OMAHA 7JOAWS ; The city council has authorized tl city treasurer to dispose of any unso bonda which may remain on his bun at private sale in sums of not loss tin 8100 at par with accrued interest. Tl : 0 means that the city in to resort direct to tlio people who wish to invest In go Interest bearing bccurltios without t intervention of bond brokers , who u ca refill to charge commissions for t services which they render in placii loans for their patrons. It also moa that the bonds are to bo issued In sin to unit the biuall investor. Under su favorable conditions the entlro iss e ought to bo speedily takon. No ono win say with exactness hi niuoli money lias boon withdrawn fr ( our Havings banks nnd ether inhtitutic of deposit or withhold from deposit these institutions. But all who arc all conversant with the local situati are convinced that largo sums of mon are being hoarded In our midst sini ) by reason of unfounded luck of contidoi in the banks and bunkers. This mon when on dopotit was drawing rognlai a certain interest ; it now lies idle , i creasing the amount of money in cln hition and upholding the flnunc stringency. There is no bolter way bringing it back into the stream trade and commerce than by invest ! it in Omaha bondB , Luck of confide ! hue no place hero , Tlieso securities i guaranteed by the city of Omaha , wh : lias never defaulted on ono lota of in public debt. They are negotiable id bimplo Bttlo und delivery or can be us ida us collateral for loans. They paj per cent interest , which can bu boom a by detaching the coupons ami hnvl of them cashed as they beoomo duo. 'J council has aio power to noli thorn bo I Id par , and us tv consequence they can under ordinary circumstances doprool below par , that A below what Is r r. nuked for them. On the ether hand tl le have uhimlly sold for a hundsc is premium and with returning prospet to can bcarcoly fatl'to go up several pol ton n- ubovo the present boiling value. Ti nxt xt pay bettor interest than savli bo banks deposits and us much us i ho tlmu certiticato of dopotlt. Tlioy ud botnblo the latter in many respects , of excel thorn in the financial backing hind thorn. Add to this the fact t the proceeds are to bo invustod rU'ht hero In our midst to give employment to the idle laborers , which in turn will have Us effect in reviving business , and the argument for investing in those bonds is complete. No ono is asked to buy the securities now offered out of moro charity. They are investments which ire desirable from n purely business standpoint. They offer a safe channel by which the money withdrawn from the banks may bo returned to them , and the fact that such investments involve with them the pro motion of public Improvements nnd the relief of the unemployed ought to com mend them to the sound judgment of every ono wl'io has the money at hand. THK KXD 01' 1'M.IG1C SKALIXO. The fuller reports of the terms of the Paris decision reveal still moro strongly the advantages it gives to the United States , and there can bo little supriso that the Englishmen returned to London sorrowful and silent. Confining the pclupic sealer to the use of a sailing nnd an undecked vessel an open boat or canoe nnd depriving him of the use of nets and explosives , restricting him practically to the spear , as In earlier times , makes his calling extremely pre carious and its profits more than un certain. The trouble lias boon caused by steam vessels , fitted up for cruises of weeks and months , and by the use of nets nnd firearms , while there has been no "close season" at all. The pelagic sealer cannot now venture very far from there , nor can ho remain long at sea. Ills trade has boon de stroyed , for when its profits no longer pay for the risk and exposure involved , there will bo little desire to engage it it. The enterprise and hardihood ol the thrifty Canadians will heroaflei seek other channels. The question of damages to bo paid for illegal sci/.urcs of sealing vessels hitherto made need alarm nobody. The damages cannot bo mucli , in view of tin award of the tribunal , stamping tin pelagic scaling business as itdooswltl the stigma of reproach. In any event it must bo remembered that the Unitei States long ago agreed to pay a lumj sum for thebo seizures if only England would agree to regulations for the pro tcctiori of the seal. This will bo fount inMr. . Blaino's letters to Sir Julini Pauncofoto. The moro the Paris aware is studied the more substantial and im portuuo appears the success of tin United States in securing the protoc tiou of an important industry. No won der Sir John Thompson , representing hi Canadian constituents , dissented from tin finding , which is , as Mr. Justice Harhn appropriately states , far in advance o anything the United States has hereto fore demanded.

It cannot bo said that the outlook n Washington is altogether encouraging There still appears to/-bo good reaso : to believe that the bill to repeal th silver purchase clause of the net of 180 will pass the house unconditionally , bu the prospect for such u'monBurogottin , through the senate has not improvcc which amounts to , saying 'thai * it j decidedly ! , unpromising. Thq advocate of the free coinage of silver in the senat do not show any disposition to yiol anything nnd from the nature of tlici declarations very little in the way of concession can be expected from then They manifest a more obstinate spiri than the free silver men in the house -with pochaps n few exceptions , and th moro they consider the subject the mor stubbornly determined they seem to bo t adhere to the position that there sha ! be no legislation regarding silver whic does not 'give that metal as favorubl recognition as it is now roecivhif There appears to bo small probability < making any such arrangement in th senate as tboro is in the house , limitin debate to two weeks and then proceei ing to vote , nnd it is doubtless sufo 1 say that no such arrangement will I made. On the whole , the situation is qxiil as complicated today as it was at the b ginning of the session , and , as observe in one of the dispatches , no man is wit enough to see u clear way out of tl dilemma. The proposed compromise < an increase in tlio ratio between go ] and silver , which carries with it tl free coinage of silver , appears to 1 generally regarded with disfavor by tl anti-silver men , and it is reported tin a measure of this kind would 1 vetoed by the president. If that 1 bo all olTort in behalf of such compromise is necessarily futile.

Some years ago , wl the city council of Lincoln uttaiuptoc lat remove a city official for cause , the < cult court issued $ & , Injunction restrain ing the mombord 'bf the council from exorcising the feuAorlly Imposed upon them by the 8tn.ut . The action of the councllmon ] njgnorlng the Iniuno- tlon nnd their subsequent Imprisonment In this city is'a matter of comparatively recent history , Tljo supreme court of the United Statoea1 ordered the release of the Imprlsoncfl dlgnltarlos In spite of the fact thnt Clioy had deliberately disobeyed the ordcrtof the circuit court. THE last roporjt , l ) the Minnesota State Board of Corrections and Charities , just published , recommends to the legisla ture the adoption of n system of regis tering the paupers and criminals , the Insane and foublo minded and depend ents of all classes who como upon tho' charitable institutions of that state. This subject has boon discussed time and time again and the merits of the plan nro scarcely open lo further objec tion. The advantages lo bo derived from such registration are fourfold in their character. First , It supplies n source of Information absolutely necessary for any wise and well directed application of public relief. If the people are over to bo relieved ol the. unnecessary burdens caused by impostors some means of de tecting frauds must bo had , as also some way of Bottling disputes concern ing the residence of the pau pers and dependants. Secondly , the board thinks the registration recom mended would result in saving great ex pense to the taxpayers of the state by enabling it to correct abuses now being practiced upon the local authorities. A third advantage would be the value of such a register for indicating the solu tion of many controverted points con cerning the immigration into the stato. It would tend to show whether the bur den of immigrant dependents was greater than the bcnotlts which are traceable to their incoming. Finally , such registration would furnish the ma terial for an intelligent study ol the causes and preventives of pauper ism and crime. Competent observers are said to believe thnt many of the burdens - dons now bor.no by society are due tc the defective methods and vicious systems of , dealing with depend ents and delinquents and that bj the adoption of efficient methods the future development of paupers and criminals may bo arrested in no small degree. While the Minnesota board cat- make its recommendations for one state only , the same arguments apply equallj in other places , and , with a much grentoi force for the whokiUnited States. I : wo could have a national registration ol delinquents and < ! clbpendonts the diffi culties experienced - by the diffcrcnl stuto and city oiHcjlaJs would be largcl'j diminished. The , professional paupet would bo cut. oil 'and each community compelled to aofrayiVtho expenses of its own dependents.
