THE melancholy intelligence drifts
this way from Washington that the ad

parlng for another torrlfle onslaught

country has rejected their Ideas as not
In accord with the favorable develop
ment of commercial prosperity ,
TUB people of the United States will
. naturally commend the action of the ad
ministration in ordering the release ol
the ItusHlan exiles whootcapod from the
mines of Siberia only to fall into the
hands of the authorities of this country.
There IB unquestionably a strong senti
ment In this country against the im
prisonment of men for tholr political
opinions and the administration lias em
phasized this idea in the strongest possi
ble manner.
KCIIOKS Ol' TltH SIM'BK HKHATK.
A correspondent addresses a lengthy
otter to TUB UKI : requesting consldora-
lon of several questions bearing upon
the recent silver discussion and confess-
ng that notwithstanding the prolific
speeches , articles , debates and so forth
that have appeared In the dally and
xjriodlcal press during the entire sumner -
nor just past ho still knows very little
of the subject and finds much company
n his Ignorance. The mass of material
ipon the question of silver that
ma been Imposed upon the patient
oador must without doubt have
irovon bewildering to many and
lave loft them with Ideal more con-
used than'before. . Events since the
mssage of the repeal bill have , however ,
; ono far to clear up some of the falla
cies which , then appeared most attract-
.vo.
.vo.In the llrst place wo are asked
whether , granting that the government
should not bind itself to purchase the
[ iroduct of any person , community or
state , suddenly abolishing such a policy
would not have been Inlllctlng an un
warrantable hardship upon the Indus
tries which had boon led to look upon
that patronage as a sort of vested right.
The fact that the predicted hard
ship gives little prospect of ma
terializing goes fav toward answering
the question in the negative. The great
distress of the silver mining states was
produced while the Sherman act was in
force and while treasury purchases con
tinued at the rate of 4,500,000 , ounces per
month. One of the potent causes of this
crisis was the very existence of that act
and the fear engendered by it that its
operation was tending to brinir the gov
ernment to a condition whore it could no
longer redeem the outstanding treasury
notes in gold. Wo see now that the re
peal of the Sherman law has had little
olTect upon the silver mining states ex
cept for the bettor. Its Drobablo Inllu-
enco was discounted in advance by
owners of silver , and the recent fluctu
ations of the silver market have not
been directly traceable to the legislation
of congress. Postponing the operation
of the repeal law might have done much
to obstruct our return to financial pros
perity , while its influence upon the min
ing districts would have boon almost
imperceptible.
A second question propounded is ,
' 'Whether it is not probable that the free
silver Interests were not ably looked after
In the late skirmish ? " The general opin
ion seems to bo that every advantage
was taken by the leaders of the minority
which it was possible for thorn to secure
under the circumstances. The fact that
they had the senate practically at their
mercy for woolc after week goes to show
that the silver interests were well
looked after from beginning to ond. The
complaint all the time went in an oppo
site direction , many of the repeal advo
cates doubting the sincerity of Senator
Voorhees , in whoso hands the conduct of
the bill was entrusted. The silver
forces were beaten because they were in
the minority , not because they lacked
able leaders.
As to the causes of the recent silver
crisis it is doubtful if people will over
bo agreed. Those causes were many
and intricate. Some of them wore more
important than others , and among thom
m -t important , if mt the most impor
tant , was the distrust occasioned by the
Shormim silver purchase law. This
distrust was by no moans confined to
banking circles. It was general
throughout all classes of the commu
nity. In removing the cause of this dis
trust the repeal bill is operating as a
powerful factor to restore the old-timo
prosperity.
FAST TiiriiN saurian.
The close of the World's fair has been
made the occasion by the railroads not
only of reducing the number of passen
ger trains which had heretofore been
unning , but also of readjusting the
time schedules all along the lino. This
eadjustment of the time schedule ? is
taking on a two-fold aspect. In the
cast the tendency is to discontinue the
'ast trains as against those that make
the runs with moro moderate spood. In
the west the railroads are inclined to
estoro the fast time , which was ro-
axed during the period of World's fair
trallle.
The reason alleged for the removal of
; ho fast train service between Now York
and Chicago Is simply that it does not
> ay. It was inaugurated last spring as
a special feature of the Columbian year.
Uxtra faro was charged and no patrons
sought except atmng the so-called ex
clusive sot. While during the sum
mer's heavy trafllo the extra faro
trains were crowded most of the time
and repaid the railroad companies for
the additional outlay involved , the
ordinary passenger continued to pa-
tronlzo the ordinary trains. At the
close of the exposition the fast train was
retained as an experiment for a few
weeks , but the tralllo dropped oIT so con
siderably that it BOOH proved to bo a
losing Invobtmont for the railroad com
panies. This moans that the American
traveling public , as a rule , decs not
value its time sutHclontly high to pay
the prioo asked for the UilToronco be
tween moderately fast time and extraor
dinarily fast timo. The extra faro bars
the way to popularity.
The attitude of the railroads west of
Chicago toward the World's ' fair tralllo
was almost the opposite of this from the
very Hrst. Instead of putting on faster
trains or Increasing the speed of those
already running they reduced the time
tehodulo then In force. The reasons
given were that with the expected In
creased passenger tralllo the danger of
accident would bo greater and the prob
ability of delays more certain. To avoid
those dangers they lengthened the
time for the run , assuring the
people that the change was
temporary only. Now that the rush is
over the railroads are either restoring
the former fast train service or making
preparations to do BO. The time , of
course , Is not nearly so fast as that
maintained by the eastern roads , but as
no extra faro Is charged the accommo
dations as. fosjiects speed will satisfy the
average of thu passcngors. , Extra faro
trains never were popular in the west
and it Is doubtful whether they would
pay as well hero as they have further
oast. The normal time sohodulo will
have to sulllco u * for the present anc
faster service will have lo be offered
rom time to time as special Induce
ments to patronize particular railroads.

Although It has been known for some
, lmo that ox-Secretary Rusk was suitor-
ng from n serious Illness at his homo in
Wisconsin , the encouraging reports that
have been daily given out makes the
announcement of his death seem sudden
and almost startling In Us effect. The
people of the United States , without ex
ception , will hear of hli decease with
sorrow and regret a sorrow which will
bo felt the moro keenly the moro Inti
mate has been the acquaintance with
liim when nllvo.
This much can be said of the dead ox-
secretary of agriculture , that ho cHd not
succumb to the Inevitable iintll after ho
Imd completed a fairly wall-rounded
career. Born in Ohio , but from early
manhood a resident and citizen of Wis
consin , ho devoted the host years of his
life to the Interests of his follows and
the public service of Ills state and na
tion. First as a volunteer In the army
which fought for the perpetuation of the
union ho displayed such loyalty and
bravery as to win him the title of brig
adier general by brcvot. As comptroller
of the state of Wisconsin , as rcpi-osenta-
tlvo in the lower house of congress
three thnos ro-elected , ho paved the
way for a popularity that should seat
him for three successive terms in the
gubernatorial chair of the slalo of his
adoption.
Called from his nosltlon at the head
of Wisconsin state politics into the field
of national political service , ho entered
the cabinet of President Harrison as
secretary of agriculture. In this capac
ity ho gave to the administration the
benefit of his best abilities and advice
advlco that was always received by his
associates with a duo appreciation of its
sincerity and worth. The second head
of the Agricultural department since it
was released from subordination to the
secretary of the interior , lie elevated
its status from n moro bureau to a de
partment in fact as well as In name.
Secretary Rusk is the third to disap
pear ot that distinguished group of
statesmen who were called by President
Harrison to assist him in administering
the national government restored to re
publican rule. The personal fortunes of
the members of that group have not
been what their friends and follow citi
zens would have wished. The death of
' 'Undo " is of
Jerry" ono the severest
blows which the. survivors will bo called
upon to bear.
FOK liY Ol'Kfi
The property and buildings committee
of the Board of Education , composed of
Messrs. Elgutlor , Smythe and Morrison ,
has preferred formal charges against
Sam Maclcod , superintendent of build
ings. These charges allege irregulari
ties , mismanagement , ineompetoncy and
abuse of authority. President Powell
appointed a committee of five to Investi
gate and report , butcontrary to common
courtesy of deliberative bodies , the
standing committee which presented the
charges was ignored by the president in
the selection of the investigating com
mittee. This act is susceptible of but
ono interpretation : The president of the
board Is opposed to a fair and impartial
hearing and has named commlttoemen
whose prejudices are known to bo
favorable to the accused. Wo do
not say that Messrs. Akin , Duryea ,
Pierson , W. N. Babcock and Thomas are
men who will readily discard all dam
aging testimony and admit only that
favorable to Macleod. We are not ready
to say that the members of the investi
gating committee will prejudge the ease
and render a whitewashing decision in
the face of positive evidence in support
of the charges preferred. We do con
tend , however , tnat in the interest of a
'air ' , unbiased and thorough investiga
tion of Maclcod's olHcial misconduct ,
; ho supporters of the committee on
Buildings and property should have
jcen accorded representation on the in
vestigating committee. That done , the
public at largo would have moro con-
lidcnco in the ultimate decision when
announced.
It has developed since the meeting of
the board that President Powell is op
posed to an open investigation and Is
determined that the proceedings shall
bo conducted in star-chamber session
This'fact will bo construed by the public
to moan that the president of the board
is paving the way for a whitewash for
Mnoleod , regardless of the testimony to
bo adduced.
The people of Omaha are unalterably
opposed to star-chamber investigations.
They want to know what their repre
sentatives are doing. If the evidence to
bo presented before the committee
shall bo insufficient to support the
charges preferred the people will
readily concede it if the testimony and
the facts are fully made public. If , on
the other hand , the charges are proved
to bo well founded , the people have a
right to know the facts upon which the
judgment of the eommittteo is based.
Tar. BKK appeals to the special com
mittee of the board for a fair , open in
vestigation. Wo do notbcliovo that the
committee can afford to lock itself up
and deny the public the right of listen
ing to the proceedings of the trial.
TIIK assistant attorney general affirms
the ruling that excludes the bogus bond
investment companies from the use of
the United States malls in the further
ance of tholr fraudulent schemes. This ,
however , will not drive the bund swin
dle : , out of business. As long as there
are dupoa to bo had they will find other
moans to operate , provided the state
courts do not put an end to their exist
ence. That they are constantly violat
ing htato laws Is the opinion of every
mombur of the State Banking Board.
Are they to bo loft undisturbed to prey
upon the weak and the unwary ?
IN oitUKiiiNQ a now trial of the suit
which William R. LalilloW brought
against Russell Sago for $ f > 0,000 damages
for serving the millionaire as a shield
against the deadly effects of the bomb
thrown at him by the crank Noroross
Jast winter , the court of appeals of New
Now York lays down some interesting
rules for the guidance of inferior
tribunals in cases of this kind. It Buys
that if the defendant as much
as laid a hand upon the plain
tiff with th < y intention of pro
tecting himself fi\in danger ho com
mitted an In/Kffr. / ' npon the latter for
which ho Is answerable In damages. If
he wants to plead in mitigation of those
damages the f et that the plaintiff would
have suffered jus/t / as much had ho not
laid liniidg upon'"him ho will IKJ com
pelled to provq ilpby positive evidence.
The court of appeals shifts the burden of
proof in this rfspcet from the plaintiff to
the dofomhuitdLjtlncUy ' ( reversing the
lower court , \rhlch had held that the
plaintiff must bhnw that ho suffered
greater injury by treason of the defend
ant's action tiianMio would otherwise
have suffered1. With this ruling in his
favor Laldlovv is almost sure to get a
verdict for largo damages , lie has had
the sympathy of the people all along ,
who thought that the law ought to af
ford n remedy for injuries thus sus
tained.
ONI : by ono additional defects in the

This time it is the fact disclosed by the
health commissioner In a meeting of
the Board of Health that the council
chamber , instead of being ventilated
directly Into the open air , sends Its
vitiated atmospltoro Into another room
in the building. The architect , who
claims that ho presented plans ard
specifications as near perfect as possible
and that ho saw that his plans were
properly carried out , is paid to have led
the Iluo from the council room into the
room of the Board of Education above
it. This will have to bo remedied , of
course , and most probably at the city's
expense. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
WHILE the sidewalk inspector Is
making up his report of the permanent

not Include a list of property owners
who have failed to comply with the re
quirements of the permanent sidewalk
resolutions ? To allow wooden sidewalks
to remain in front of particular pro
mises in the business portion of the
city is an Injustice to these who have
promptly replaced their planks with
substantial materials.
OUR government is only doing its
duty under treaty stipulations when It
refuses to let Mexican bandits use the

idents the government at Washington
would not long f delay its protest.
Mexico is entitled to treatment equal
to that which wo would demand under

When Tin ; BRK correspondent today Informed -
formed Shelby M. Cullom , who is one of the
oldest and most Inllucnttal of the republican
senators , that H was the purpose of the
president to send all of the cnrrespomlouco
and reports which bad been made upon the
Hawaiian qucstton to congress and await
authority for an extreme step , the distin
guished Illinois statesman said :
"Tho only thing President Cleveland will
got from congress on the Hawaiian question
will bo a rebuke , lie will never get author
ity to resort to forcible menus for the restor
ation of the queen , To try mind the en
tire course of this inlinliiUtration with
respect to Hawaii has been the most
remarkable ot any administration in
relation to any foreign subject. The presi
dent has ulrcady overstepped the bounds of
American patriotism and the authority
vested la his olllco. The only argumenta
tive feature of paramount Interest In
Blount's report relates to the notorious
question of the deposed queen's virtue , Ho
seems to have .settled the question la his
own mind that she Is a pure woman. Ho
has not established the fact in the mind of
any fair minded man , not even the presi
dent.
Aiuiml at lliirrlnun ,
"I understand that the administration
of President Harrison was responsible lor
the deponing of the iuccn. | and the publica
tion of Blount's report only adds emphasis
to the despicable part this administration
lias attempted to play. It Is the most un-
American and unpatriotic stop proposed bv
the administration of this country within
myecollecllon , and congress , although It is
la both branches dcmocratie , will taku
the Hrst opportunity to administer
a severe robuito. I know of
no man in congress who has
( indorsed the attitude of President Cleve
land toward Hawaii , or who has spoken a
generous word for the unpatriotic olTort to
restore the unsupported monarchy of f iiccn
Liliuohalam. The act already committed
by this administration is clearly without
authority. I'ho aiHlon of President John
son , whom congress attempted to impeach ,
was not half as roprchunsiblo as tlio one
just committed by President Cleveland and
his secretary of state. "
' Do you believe tlio personal feeling of
Secretary Grcsham aealnst ox-President
Harrison has had any weight in inllucnclng
the administration In thu Hawaiian matter ! "
was asked.
"I have not the slightest doubt of it , " was
Senator Cullom's reply. "It reminds mo
very much of Incidents which have boon re
ported to mo from Judge Urcsham's courts.
It is a most humiliating spectacle to any
true American citl/.en , and 1 might add that
what appears to bo the most insensate exhi
bition of compound mendacity , malice ,
vieioustiess and outrageous exercise uf
ofllcial power that the world has witnessed
in modern times. There will bo some
decisive and speedy measures of disapproval
ns soon as congress convenes. "

Secretary Hoko Smith , who Is now in

which will make him assistant general coun

secretary made certain statements
indicating that ho was not responsible for
the suspension of pensioners. Pending' an
investigation ho called his secretary of in

business as ho had been running It , and to

what they could expect. Tlio president gave
Secretary Smith to understand that his
pension policy was not only bringing oppro

entire conduct of the Interior department
had proven a disappointment. Since that

is probably nothing at all in this vague in
