KXn TUB SUSl'BXSK. The plain and imperative duly of the onate is to end the suspense which is voighlng upon the country and retard- ng the return of confidence by passing rlthout further delay a measure dis continuing the purchase of silver. The passed by the house Is satisfactory to the country and there Is no valid rea son why the senate should not adopt it at once , instead of amending it or pass- ng a substitute , the effect of which night bo to reopen the whole question in the house and indofi- iltoly prolong the contest. Sena- , or Gordon was entirely right In dcclar- ng that "tho tenuto should not lock the wheels of progress which had been sot n motion in the other end of the cap- tol. " The action of the house was un- inestionably in accord with the deslro of a very great majority of the Amer ican people. It was an overwhelming [ ejection of the policy of the govern ment for the last fifteen years regarding silver. Tlio senate should bo a i ready Lo yield lo the will of the people as the liouso. Its duty to do so isnot Ic33 than that of the houso. The opponents of repeal in the flouatp * admit that they ore in .the minority and there can bo no doubt that they represent a minor ity ot the people. They know the policy they advocate cannot succeed. Under such circumstances to delay action by obstructive tactics and useless discussion is in olTect u dolluncoof the popular will which cannot bo justilied and which should mark every senator responsible for it for political oblivion. The argument of Senator Teller is simply sophistry a plausible kind of sophistical reasoning , , it may bo , but non'o the loss sophistry. There 's ' disease in Iho llnan- eiitl and business systems. They are suffering from deep-seated distrust and depression. There is no time to bo wasted in searching out causes. The demand is for the prompt application of a remedy. It is stillleient to know that the people believe a principal cause of the trouble to bo the silver policy of the government and that they dcslroand de mand a change. They bavo considered this mnttor carefully and thoroughly. They have looked on all hides of it. They have weighed with deliberation every argument. It is true that they have not repudiated any part of their currency and that they are not afraid of their money as it is , but they have reached the firm conviction that the country cannot con tinue the present financial policy with out eventually debasing the currency and therefore they say that this policy shall bo abandoned. It is no answer to this sovereign demand of the people to allirm that tlio country is still rich nnd that it has passed through other periods of financial stress as severe as the pres ent one. A sensible man is not less care ful to avoid peril because ho hns had mishaps and survived them and only the' most reckless speculator will risk the loss of fortune by contimii'jg his operations against the most ad verso con ditions. Mr. Teller and his free silver associates would have the country pur- If the senate will do its duty in this matter In response lo the unmistakable desire and demand of the people the sil ver question will bo out of the way within a week. Tlio action of the house has had a good olTect , and this would have been gicatly enhanced had there been positive assurance that the senate would act promptly in the wmio di- rcction. The feeling of suspense has naturally boon maintained by the threats of the silver men in the senate to prolong the contest in definitely. It has been shown , however , that what has been accomplished is favorable to the restoration of conll- lenco , and this gives warrant for flic icliof that when the question is disposed of according to the popular demand niich of the prevailing distrust will pass tway and there will ensue ut least a par tial rnriiunption of financial and business activity. lfIKK1 / / nXl'XHIMNXTS The work of the government sugar beet experiment station at Hchuylor , Nob. , of which a review appeared in this paper a few dtiys ago affords tlio&e who might bo induced to undertake sugar beet culture some data upon which they are entitled to rely. Ills tlio duty of the ollico--s in charge of tlio station to carry through a crop of beets carefully noting all the various developments and pursuing throughout the most approved scientific methods. The t-olection of the seed beet for propagation is one of the most Important phases of hiignr beet cultivation. Upon it depends not only UH > successful raising of the crop , but also the tecuring of the largest percentage of sugar from the material gathered. The heed beoj , must bo choK-ii with regard to certain pro- Hcribc'd rules ah to external appearance and uuthl bo preserved through Iho winter - tor with equal ' cure. At each stage il is If the results are to be of any value , that a test bo made of the quality and grade uf the beet in question. Ami these experiments can only be performed by exports who are nblo to devote their entire time to the work. The results obtained at Iho Sohuylor station cannot hut bo luttibfactory to the promoters sugar beet culture us well as gratifying to the ofllcoi's in charge. It must bo remembered o.g that the raising > of sugar beets is a comparatively recent Iniiovatli'ii into this part of the west and that the experiment utution has been in operation but two years , J3ut when out of 4-lXi beets planted less than twenty fall to grow , wo can see the importance [ ) , of employing the besl methods in this branch of agriculture. Careful watch ing also brought to light an insect vibita lion and disclosed the fact that the loss inflicted by these insects amounted to six tons per aero or over $ 20 , As to the profitableness of sugar beet culture the experiment station also affords some interesting information. The total cost per acre , including the rent of the land and the transportation of the crop , was . SS2.U8. The mean value per acre waa [ $03.20 , leaving a not profit of $10.02. Otherwise stated , beet culture will nol only return u fair Interest upon the value of the land , but will ylola a clear profit of nearly $11 besides. This profit , while uot .vhttt soiuo enthusiasts have claimed , is yet , wo are assured , much larger than is ordinarily derived from land devoted to other branches of agri culture. Other governments conduct experi ment stations for the improvement of boot culture and for the benefit of farmers who are engaged In such cul ture. The industry is one that requires an adaptation to the particular soil to ho worked , and this , of course , varies in different countries and in different parts of the same country. To got the best results a rcarching study must bo made of the peculiar circumstances surround ing each locality soil , season , tempera ture , moisture. The boot best fitted for Franco or Gnrmany mai bo entirely out of place in Nebraska. The experiment station seeks to touch the farmers Uio culture specially adapted to thorn and in tills it seems to have made a very good beginning. THU Sl'ATU HANK TA\ . The advocacy of a repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state bank issues comes principally from the south. It wasnt Iho behest of that section that the lastdomo- c 'atlc national convention inserted iu the platform the domain ! for repeal , nnd Iho press and public men ot the south have since been urging at every favor able opportunity that the demand bo complied with by congress. Few north ern democrats have shown any sympa thy . with it. Representative Ilartor of Ohio introduced in the last congress - gross a bill to ropaal the tax.i\vhich received very little attention. Sen ator . Voorhoos in his recant speech on the silver question indicated that ho was favorable to a restoration of state bank currency. So far a wo'rom&mbor these are the only northern donucrats who have publicly committed themselves to this policy. Senator' ' Gordon. of Georgia , in his speech in the souato Tuesday , advocated the repeal of the tax on state batiks , expressing the opinion that the states might bo wisely ami properly trusted with u larger share of responsibility in financial operations. 'A system of state bank issues , " ho said , "could bo made safe , stable und capable of accomplishing all the purpjsos of domestic trade.1 Possibly , but would they ' bo made and kept so ? It is stated that Speaker Crisp is in favor of passing u bill to repeal the state bank ; tax and that ho made up the bankIng - Ing nnd currency committee with n view ofa obtaining a favorable report on such a measure , but if this be true ho seems tc have selected the wrong man for chairman of the committou , according tea a recently reported interview with Mr. Springer. That gentleman is quoted as saying that ho is opposed to returning to the old state bank currency system. "I can remember too well , " said Mr. Springer , ' 'when wo had 33 many different kinds of currency in circula tion that wo could not keep track of them and it was very difficult to do busl ness. It was necessary to carry around a bank note detector to know what your money was worth. Wo do not want forty-four different kinds of currency , and . I shall oppose a return to that an tiquated and obstructive system. " Tito chairman ! of the banking and curronjy committee expressed the opinion that there is a slight majority of the commit tee against the repeal of the tax. Nevertheless there will undoubtedly bo a vigorous effort made to secure repeal t and there is reason to believe that it will j. receive ( a much stronger support than is indicated from the . public expres sions ] that Imvo been made in favor of a . state bank currency. It is perhaps safe to count .for it the practically unani mous support of the southern represen tatives and it would very likely got some democratic suoport from the inlddlo and western states. A3 to the possibility of n measure of repeal passing congress , a ' great deal will depend upon the attitude of tlio administration toward it. Sj od or as known Mr. Cleveland has no decided views on tlio subject and probably has given it very little cainidoration , but it would Hoem pretty safe to predict ! that ho will not favor it re peal of the tax. The president's ' recollection of the character of-the old stnto bank currency ought to bo as good .is that of Mr. Springer , and if so it is to bu presumed ho will e 'incido with the views of the la'ttor. Moreover , in 10o event of the success of the silver policy of the administration , which now seems assured , Mr. Cleveland will hardly make thu mistake of militating against the credit of that achievement by approving the restoration of a currency having in finitely greater possibilities of clanger to tlio general interests and welfare than would even thu frcu and unlimited o .linage of silver. JMI'linVKMKX'fS IX 'tllK CITY J.ML. The chief of police not long ago laid before the Board of .Fire and CO Commissioners a rccJinmondation at stops bo taken to improve tflo facilities for the detention of prisjnors at the city jail. The decision of the board to act upon this recommendation is timely and demanded by every sense of decency and humane treatment. It has hitherto been the practice to huddle together men arrested up MI charges of every category of crime , children , vicious or inir cent , and tramps or vagrants accused of moro misdemeanors. It Is true that provision has been made for the separata incarceration of women , but women ac cidentally detained have hud no other phieo to remain than in the company cicf others who had lost every vestige of honorable character. Not long CO there wore confined in u single cell in our city jail two young boys who lind run away from homo and wore waiting for promised means of returning , a colored lad who was Inter sent to the reform : schyol us incorrigible , a drunk who had not recovered from the effects of his debauch , and two other men accused of crimes of a serious nature * . This is but ( mo example of the barbarities of our pennf system. . The move for tlio bopurutlrm of the innocent nocent or unfortunate from the vicious and degenerate is in accordance with the lessons taught by the most advanced : criminologists. If the intention of out- code is to reform a-j well as to punish : wo must bo careful to keep the innocent ) from contamination. Some Canadian authorities have gone so fur as to refute i to allow arrested children to bo taken to ail nt all ; thqjvpfnd them for detention to the houses orVfbsicnated officers , who iroduco them ji court when required.

The a'ci user analyzes the vole 01 the final jmssngo , and declares that had the 101 republicans who voted for tl.o bill refraitiod from voting , the dem ocrats ; would still have had a majority of twenty-eight over the silver men in the houso. Let us remind him that thu sil ver men wore not at their strongest on the final -vote. Furthermore , that republican members in the house can not bo expected to refrain from voting. As a party of the opposition they cannot bo expected to support purely 'admin istration measures , nnd it is clearly evi dent that the 101 republicans had the balance in their power free to throw it to < the one sltlo or the other. Had any considerable number of them voted against the Wilson bill , it could not have passed the lower house. The Sherman 1'H silver purchase law was enacted by re publican votes only after the democrats had registered themselves in favor of free and unlimited coinage of silver. The republicans wont that far to avert the : disasters which wore threatened by free coinage , and , as soon tig they saw that they hud yielded too much to the democratic demand , they promptly as sisted to repeal their own temporary measure. Wo repeat that It is to the republicans in congress that the demo cratic administration and the country ewe the passage of the Wilson bill through the house. SOMK of the Chicago banks have been taking precautionary measures against finding themselves with their money looked up in Now York without being able to have their funds returned. For this put-pose they are bending out circu lar letters to their correspondents call ing attention to the fact that drafts on New York tire selling at a discount in Chicago ; that mich drafts are payable through the clearing house only and consequently can be realized upon in cash only at tlio depreciated value of the loan cortificatoa. They point to the continued honoring of all calls for cash upon Chicago banks , and an nounce that tliefj- will bo unable to credit their cprn'cspondonts with Now York exchange tit par. In doing this they ask for thii'iip-oporation of western bankers. While } Chicago men disclaim that these circulars have any further signification than to explain the situa tion , they aroj ken by some of the Now York bankers to bo a declaration of war between' : the financial institu tions of the two , cities.

A review ot that century makes clear to us that the first great currency question with which the ' country Irad 'to deal was whether there should bo a national coinage , era legalizing and rerattng of the debased foreign coin of pro-revolutionary days. Thii chartering of the banks of the United States and the Hsu of state banks settled this question and gave the country n paper currency based on foreign coin. The winding up ol the second United States bank and beginning of gold mining brought up In 1331 the second great currency question , which was. shall the money of the country bo hard or soft , metallic or paper. The gold coin act of 1834 was the attempt to sottlu this , and brought on the llrst bimetallic discussion over hold in congress. . Tliu attempt was a failure.

Chicago llcconl : A brighter day for linan clal legi.-ilation has dawned , ft Is recogni/.cd at last that the free nnd unlimited rolling ! of silver must bo had only by motlu.ds th.it are not revolutionary ; that bimetallisn which wipes out gold Is In truth n n.osi offensive and disastrous Icmd of monoinutal llsm ; that the fabrio of world-wide con- murcu is too finely and firmly woven to bo rent according to the whim of a school o. theorists whoso theories are based on loca interests. linnutallism will come , but not as the result of any spoils uttered by a Col oraoo magician sitting among his mountains.

Let the western cyclone hide its dimin ished head. Truo. in its giddiest mood it frisks houses about as though they were foot balls , dumps infants on tree tops with out injury , drives palings throuirh oak planks , yanks the overcoats from poultry , and performs other fantastic capers. Hut it lights shy of railroad trains. Not so the tornado. That which swept the coast last Sunday picked up a train near Savannah and dumped it into the woods. Clearly the cyclone is n lightweight in comparison. Congressman Hrcckinridgo of Kentucky seems to be taking tlio Pollard hreach-of- premise iaso greatly to heart. He had prepared - pared n speech on the silver question , which liu expected to make one of his most tolling efforts , but when the scandal exploded hu told Speaker Crisp to scratch his name from the list of orators and retired to Staunton , Va. , with his wife and daughters. These who claim to bo well informed declare that ho will not be scon at tne capital ngain until the case is disposed of ono way or another. ' VUCKlt.lX'ti < l . , Chicago Itocord : As expected. Mr. IJourko Cockran made a brilliant address on tlio silver question. Maybe Mr. Cockran will yet disprove tne common assertion that there t are no great American orators living nnd no great oratory. Outran Free Press : Mr. Cockran had the radical silver men on thu hip when ho aslcod them why they opposed the silver clause in the Chicago platform if It was in accord with the views which they now advocate. I'licy were rabid in their opposition at tlio convention , Chicago Herald : Decidedly _ the best speech of the silver dohatu in the honau was tmit of Hourko Cockran. It was eloquent and brilliant , but from beginning to end there was no sacrilico of scnso to sound , of truth to oratorical olTect , of oconomij prin ciples to fancied pnrty exigencies or vaulting personal ambition. Buffalo Kxprcss : Hourko Ccckrnn's ad dress was most unfortunate. The ICxprcss says this with regret , because ho iy on our side.

" Well , yes , Hourkc , wu reckon that proposition wns stated correctly. Jt has not fallen tu the lot of thu Inquirer tu make nny profound Inquiries into thu nl > - struso subject of podomancy , but wu rather suspect that If there wns blood from nny feet nloiig the highway It must have been blood from bleeding feet , Uostcm Advertiser : Mr. Cockran put the house into a good humor bvvo.niarklng , npro- pos of the anti-Sherman bill plank in the Chicago platform , that he took part In the proceedings of the latest national demo cratic convention. How it came nbout that from being the implacable fee of Grovot- Cleveland no lind bccomo ono of the most ( irdcit ) supporters uf that ( ilstlnirulshcd gun- tluman's policy , the eloiiuunt Tammanyltu did not stop lo explain , nor was there need for him to do so. His retort upon Congressman - man Bryan , who lind called stiver the farmers' money , wns most effective nnd con clusive. Mr. Hrynn , nald Mr. Cockran , wanted the farmers' dollar to contain only 1171(4 ( grains of silver , while hoCockran ( ) would have It contain lWi. | | grains.

The tailors they employ are the best work men to bo had and they take as much pains as anybody can to turn out a faultless garment every timo.
