Although the advocates of free silver
in tlio senate admit they are in the mi
nority , and it must be apparent to them
also that the great majority of the people
ple are , .against them , they yet avow
their determination to use every
method pormlssablo under the rules and
practice of the senate to prevent the
passage of the repeal bill , unless they
can obtain some concession or com
promise. It is stated that western nnd
'southern senators are daily receiv
ing appeals from their people
for speedy action and urging
thorn to vote for repeal , and
the hope is indulged that these appeals
will induce senators representing states
not bound up with silver mines to sur
render their individual judgment , or at
least refrain from uniting with those
who are disposed to prevent action by a
resort to dilatory methods. It appears
that the present hope of the silver sena
tors is that the improving financial con
dition will allny the popular demand for
a change of policy regarding silver and
enable them to secure some sort of a
compromise , but they are 'nursing a do-
usion if they fancy that the people will
now bo satisfied with anything short of
ho absolute discontinuance of silver
aio * . The vote for repeal in the
represented over 11,000,000 , of the
) opuhition of the country , while the op-
)02 > ition stood for less than 10,000,000.
There can bo no doubt that fully two-
birds of the American people believe
.hat . the silver purchase law ought to bo
epealed , and for those who represent
ino-third to attempt to prevent this by a
course of obstruction which ought not to
be toloiatod in any leaislatlvo body is an
outrage that cannot bo W lpd.
If the silver senators c out the
jrogram they have annomW it will
renew , with much greater force than
ever before , the popular demand for a
radical departure from the so-called
'senatorial ' courtesy , " which allows the
argost' latitude to filibustering. The
ax rules and practice of the senate in
his respect have boon for years con
demned by the intelligent public opinion
jf the country , and the object lesson
ivhieh the country is now having in the
jourso ol the silver senators , if carried
0 the extremity they threaten , cannot
'all to cause such a general 'demand for
1 change as the senate will not dare to
disregard. It is obviously a serious
evil in our legislative system which
) ermlta a small minority of senators to
) lock the way to urgently needed logis-
.ation , and perhaps to defeat it , and the
sooner the evil is eradicated the bettor
t will bo for the interests and wolfaroof
the country. Nobody will object to fair
uid reasonable discussion , but when tills
lias boon had and all sided have been
ijiven a hearing , to .continue debate
simply for the purpose of delay and ob
struction , is inexcusable aud is at vari
ance with the basic principle of free in-
htitutions , that the will of the majority
shall prevail.
UHOKNT I'lfHILBM.
The United States treasury is con
fronted with the danger of a heavy do-
Holt. The last monthly statement is the
moat unfavorable for many years. Dur
ing August thevu was a decrease in the
cash balance of the treasury of over
$10,000,000. , There was a largo decline
in the receipts for that month compared
with the corresponding month of last
jvar. Ill customs the los was $ ( ! ,00'OiX ' ) )
and In internal revenue $ . 'ili < iOO,000.
While the receipts of the treasury wore
reduced , the expenditures of the govern
ment voro considerably more last
month than In August , 181)2. ) Comparing
July and August of this year with tlio
corresponding months of ln t year , the fig
ures for the former period show a do-
olino in receipts of $111,000,000 and an increate i -
create In expenditures of $ , > (000,000 , or
practically a net reduction to the
treasury for the Hr t two months of the
current fiscal year oimpared with the
bamo months of the year preceding of f
818,000,000. , These figured show that the
treasury shares In the general distress
Incident to the present abnormal condi i-
tion of utTulrs , and whether the extraor
dinary dllTerouco between the receipts
and expenditures Is to continue during
the remaining ton months of the fiscal
year will depend upon the action of eon-
grcss on pending and proposed legisla i-
tion. The fact Is roqognlxod that
the announcement that the tariff
is to bo revised will have a depressing
ollect upon the Importation of merchan
dise and cause a marked reduction in
custom receipts compared with those of
the past three years. At the same time
there can bo no Improvement expected )
In the receipts from internal revenue so
long M the general depression In busi
ness continues. Meanwhile , there is no
decrease In expenditures.
Obviously , tlio outlook for the treasury
is very unsatisfactory , nnd something
will hnvo to 'ho done by congress
to enable the government to meet
its obligations. The problem as to
what is best to bo done la not
free from difficulties. Several plans
have boon proposed , but none of them
has boon received with general ap
proval. In his speech In the senate last
Wednesday Senator Sherman said In re
gard to the proposal to coin the surplus
silver bullion in tlio treasury that is ,
the amount which stands for the seign
iorage or profit of the government that
ho would undoubtedly coin it and use It ,
if necessary , for the ordinary operations
of the government to prevent a defi
ciency , or for any purpose that it might
be lawfully coined. There does not np-
penr to bo any sound objection to this
plan , and at any rate it would bo
vastly bettor than Issuing United
States notes , which , ns Mr. Sher
man said , would bo like setting a match
to powder , nnd would rather Increase
and bring about the danger which
threatens us from nn excess of paper
currency. Another measure of relief
can be found in the issue of gold bonds ,
which would servo the double purpose of
giving the treasury needed relief and
maintaining the parity of all our cur
rency ; but the administration , nnd prob
ably a majority of the democrats in con
gress , are not disposed to consider a pro
posal to add to the public debt In this
way. Of course , the treasury will con
tinue solvent so long as it has
the gold redemption reserve
to draw upon ; but , .inasmuch .
as that reserve now sustains the parity
of our money , It might prove to bo a se
rious mistake to exhaust it. The condi
tion of the treasury demands early at
tention from congress and some measure
of relief that will bo comprehensive in
its operation. The credit of the govern
ment must not bo jeopardized by com
pelling it to default on any of its obliga
tions.
THE lOH'A CAMPAIGN *
Both parties In Iowa nro preparing to
prosecute a vigorous campaign , and
within the 'next ton days the fight will
have opened all along the lino. The
canvass promises to bo BUllioiontly excit
ing for the people of that state and to
command a good deal of interest gen
erally. It will not bo conducted
altogether upon the local issue which
has boon predominant in state elections
for a number of years and on which a
democratic governor was chosen in the
last two elections. Both the republican
and the democratic parties are now
arrayed against prohibition as a
state policy , the difference between
them being simply as to methods of reg
ulating the liquor trallic. The success
of either should bo the end of prohibition -
bition in Iowa and the beginning of a
practicable and common sense regula
tion of the liquor trafllc , if a platform
pledge is good for anything.
This being so , national questions will
command a large measure of considera
tion during the campaign , and , in the
discussion of those the republicans will
have an advantage. The condition of
the country after six months of demo
cratic administration has very greatly
impaired the claims of that
party to popular confidence.
When a democratic congress and
president were elected last
November there was activity in every
department of business , there was no
marked evidence of financial distrust ,
and prosperity Jwa = general. During the
year preceding that election the foreign
and internal commerce of the country
was the largest in our history ana there
had been an extraordinary growth of
industrial enterprises Very shortly
after the result of the election was
known a reaction sot in. A loss of finan
cial confidence began to bo manifested
and btoadlly grow. A contraction * of
credits and forced liquidation broughi\
about an almost unprecedented nuraW
her of failures. Popular distrust of'
the banks Induced tons of thous
ands of people to withdraw theiiv/
deposits , thereby taking out of active/
employment , according to careful estimates - [
mates , nearly 8200,000,000. Manufac
turers , apprehending n radical change
In the fiscal policy of the government ,
greatly curtailed their operations or
stopped production altogothorj'throwing
an array of labor out of employment.
Quickly following the advent of the
democratic administration to power de
pression bocaino general. This is
the condition now , and while there
are indications of Improvement ,
there cannot bo a resumption of
bu3ino3s activity and prosperity
until the industrial interests of the
country know what a democratic congress
will do with the tariff. The people
of Iowa have suffered equally with those
of other states from this condition of
affairs , nnd it seeirn entirely safe to pre
dict that a majority of them are not
now aud will not bo In November dis
posed to indorse the party under whoso
administration distrust and doprosjlon
have become widespread and the busi
ness of the Qoimtry has suffered general
paralysis.
Tlie ropubl loans of Iowa should have
another advjuitago iu the thlrd-torm
candidacy of Governor Doles. Third-
to nn candidates tor executive olllco
have buen rare and have ul-
I most uniformly boon condemned by
I thu action of thu people. Bolus himself I
Is on record in disapproval of third terms
and nothing could bo plainer than that
hu accepted a second nomination in order
to subserve his ambition to go to the
United States bunatu. Ho surrendered
his conscience to the dcsiro for political 1e 1
advancement , and no democrat of the
.li'lTorsoniun school can consistently sup-
port him under mich clruuniHtaiicos , for
Jefferson boliuvod that a man should not
have moro than two coiiaccutlvu terms
in nny executive ofllco. Iu addition to
iUIOBU considerations is the fact that Iowa
Is normally iv republican state. Last No
vombor there were cast 210,088 , ropuolican
votes ami 10iiOi ( , ; ; democratic votus , glv-
ingllurrlfton apluriillty of 23'J85. There
is uvury reason to bollovo that the ro
publicans have ulncu gullied , and If they
nmtto thu coming campaign irj vigorous
and uggrowlvo as they promlso to do ,
they ought to poll n larger vote next
November than they did last. Of course ,
some account needs to bo taken of the
now political movement in the interest
of prohibition , bit ) Uiiadoos ndt threaten
to bo partlcularJ1y,1f.o mldablo , and at any
rate It will probably draw almost as
largely from the democrats as from the
republicans. T Y
AS IMPUKSSIVK
The parade of i oha worklngmon in
honor of Labor djjy Owas an Impressive
demonstration , t/was ft tangible ex
hibit of the numerical strength of the
Industrial army that constitutes the
backbone of Omnhtt-'nml , It enables us
to realize more ttian over the magni
tude of the diversified handicrafts now
permanently established this city.
While nil our manufactures nro still In
their infancy , wo can truthfully boast
that no city west of Iho Missouri , with a
possible exception of San Francisco , can
match us In the number of nrlsinns who
nro steadily employed in our mills , fac
tories and packing houses.
Another losso/i taught by the labor
procession is derived from the orderly
manner In which the broad winners con
ducted their aomomtratlon nnd the total
absence of rod flag anarchy among their
ranks. It goes Without saying that no
great city-can exist without steady and1
remunerative employment for skilled
labor required in many branches of In
dustry , and the growth of ft city is In
ratio with its capacity to afford such em
ployment. This must bo the key note of
Omaha's future growth and prosperity.
Wo want more mills , moro factories ,
more packing houses and moro well paid
working men who own their own homos
in our midst. On the other hand the
working men must In the future , as In
the past , strive to maintain their own
solf-respoi.t and to elevate the moral
and material plane of the working man's
conduct. If this lesson is taught by the
exorcises ol Labor 'day , and employer
and employed learn mutually to ap
preciate each other ; wo shall have taken
a long stop forward in the direction of
social reform.
Tun national encampment of the
Grand Army at Indianapolis this year
cannot but feel the effects of the recent
financial troubles , as also of the counter
attraction In the World's fair in.Chi
cago. As a consequence , the next an
nual reunion will assume much greater
importance than , would otherwise bo the
case. It is all the moro to bo regretted
that Lincoln has pulled out of the race
for the encampment of 1894 , but this
must DO charged to the railroad , which
refused to co-operate with the Lincoln
committee. !
MAYOR BHMIS' , ' , feols. very confident
that when the ; { 0,000'school children of
Omaha sign a pe'tjtidii that they want to
go to Chicago to s'eo wio World's fair at
the expense of the' public that Rosewater
will join in and sjgn'tjio petition. When
the 30,000 children , have signed that pe
tition , the petition' will only bo signed
by 30,000 children. Ill-would bo just as
easy to got those children to sign a peti
tion to send the honorable mayor to Da
homey or make George Francis
king of the Cannibal Islands.
THE tools and "tiro cranks 1within the
populist state convention will shout for
a straight nomination and the decoys
will got their work in so as to nominate
a man who will bo satisfactory to the
railroads. That is the program for
which Edgorton and several other dou-

been engaged , and the same tune will bo

Two deaths from accidental contact with
electric lighting wires are reported today ,
ono in the northern part of Philadelphia ,
Iho other In Cannlcn , In the latter case the
wire had fallen In the storm , nnd a citizen
going to work took hold of it to remove it
from Ills path and was Instantly killed by
the shock. In the other case n telephone
wlro.crosslng an arc-light wlro produced the
same result. In Now York a team of horses
wore killed by a fallen wlro , the driver nar
rowly escaping death. ,
And still wu go on stringing these deadly
wires along the streets , where nny violent
storm may blow them down to become traps
for unsuspecting passers by. Such n dan
cer would bo a nigh price to pay for olectrto
lighting if it wore necessary ; as it Is not
necessary , It ought not to bo endured.
Not only Is it possible to conduct all those
heavily charged \vlros"beuoath the pavement ,
but the work has boon undertaken In seine
streets and carried out with the best results.
Why not In all ? It will take some time , of
coursobut It is nlmird to allow now poles
nnd overhead Svlrca nil over town , not only
In the face of thu city's own ordinances , but
In thn face of common sense. These danger
ous wires must bo.buriod.

ernment. There Is a strong objection to con
vening the legislature In extra session , and
unless that is done Montana will only nave

These are not that kind ,
but the finest tailor-mado
garments out. Every yard

shops make one suit B. , K. & Co. make thousands ,
and consequently sell at half their prices. Suits
