The democrats of Illinois liava nominated
Franklin MacVcagh as their candidate for
senator. What will the Nebraska de
mocracy do ? Will they put up 1C to 1 Dryan
or the Marquis do Morton ?
By the time the Income tax schedule Is
made acceptable to the democratic senators
there will bo so many exemption" ? from Its
operations that a person will bo unable to
tell whether ho Is expected to pay an Income

Tlio next time there Is a can-can dance at
a police picnic the promoters should get up

have missed It for anything.
Major Clarkson has not yet received his
offlc'al ' warning from the postmaster general
to abstain from offensive partisanship In
the democratic primaries. Dut probably
Mr. Euclid Martin will hand him a copy of
the order on his return from Washington
with Toburllngton.
Thcro Is no reason why the Illinois
crnts should make so much ado over the
if" nomination of a candidate for United States
senator on their state ticket. The nom
ination. Is .purely honorary. No ono ex
pects the next Illinois legislature to send a
democrat to the senate.
Ono of the democrats nominated to'run as
congrcssman-at-largo on the 'Pennsylvania
ticket already declines to bo a victim at the
*
polls. This Is a case of the nomination
scokliig the man. No such thing could
happen to the republican ticket In that
state , where a republican nomination means
an assured election.
The attorney general wants a deficiency
appropriation of $125,000 to defray the ex
pense of handling the Industrial armies. This
represents only the expenditures by the federal -
oral government. There are the expendi
tures by the states , the cities , and by private
Individuals yet to be hoard from. Em
ployment from these funds doubtless pre
vented many of the unemployed from joining
the army themselves.
It Is pleasing to note that the good roads
movement Is spreading Into other counties
besides that In which Omaha Is located.
Good roads are everywhere essential to
enable farmers to reach their market.
Douglas county as the most thickly settled
and richest county In the state Is naturally
nxpcctcd to take the lead In Improving her
country roads. What Is gratifying Is that
other counties appear to bo anxious to follow
In her wake.
President Perlor was clected'to the highest
executive olllco ot Franco without standing
upon n political platform. Having made
no promises ho cannot bo held accountable
for breaking pledges to the people. The
people have n general Idea of the policy
which they expect him to pursue , however ,
and they have nn effective way of Informing
him of their displeasure by means of a vote
of the deputies adverse to the ministry. It
will bo just the same as If an elaborate
platform had been formulated.
Lincoln jobbers , merchants and business
men generally are endeavoring to follow thii
example of the Commercial club set In
Omaha by forming n similar organization In
tl.at city. The now Lincoln club proposes
to borrow bodily all the prominent features
of the Omaha association small dues , prac
tically unrestricted membership , commlttcbs
tn look after different Interests , combined
action to promote enterprises promising
general advantages to the entire community.
The Commercial club of this city must feel
gratified that It has sot so powerful an
example and that Its work reaches out be
yond tho. bounds of Omaha.
Next Monday's meeting of the Hoard of
Education will determine whether the beard
la disposed to lot politics and sectarian bias
Interfere with Us duty to citizens and tax
payers. Our constitution excludes secta
rianism from the schools maintained at the
pulilla expense and the charter under which
the schools of Omaha are governed content-
platoi an absolute divorce of re
ligion from the school system. The
" sentiment ot the patrons of the
schools Is opposed to political manipulation
of our schools and the taxpayers demand and
expect the board to pursue business methods
in the management of our schools. There
should be no place for scheming politicians ,
sectarian agitators or do-nothing barnacle *
In any department over which the board has

j The nltcmpt of Mr. Hltolucolt's organ
to lie f OR the Issue railed In the Ilarsoshelmcr
I on c AH nn apology tor th'o lawless notion of
I Juilfv Er.ott In dellanlly IgnnrlnR the order
; f-f I no luiprr-me court li at best a very lama
defense. It li alleged that Judge Scott wan
Induced to eel asldo the verdict Of the jury
by which Hargeihelmer wax found guilty ot
forgery on the representation that the de
fendant WAS Insane. This action on the
part ot Judge Scott has no sanction or war
rant In the criminal statutes. The law ex
pressly directs the Judge In cases of con
viction to commit the defendant until sen
tenced and to prjuounce sentence at the
end of the term at which ho Is tried unlesi
a new trial I.i granted or the supreme court
orders a new trial on appeal. In this In
stance an appeal was taken to the supreme
court and that court declined to grant an
other trial. This was tantamount to an or
der to the district court to carry out the
mandate ot the law. If Hargcshclmer was
Insane \\hon ho committed the act with
which he Is charged there wai a process at
law to clear him on the ground of Insanity
by calling a commission of Insanity , which
Is the only tribunal to pass upon the mental
condition of all persons whoso sanity Is
called tn question. Having failed to procure
the testimonial of Insanity , which would set
him free before the trial took place , the
plea ot Insanity might still have been raised
before the trial Jury. When that Jury
brought In a verdict of guilty the trial
Judge still had the opportunity to override
the verdict If he believed the man to bo In
sane. Ho could then have empaneled a
Jury to pass upon the sanity of Hargesholmer
and had the man committed to the hospital
for the Insane.
No such action was taken , but the defend
ant was liberated to nwalt the decision of
the supreme court on the appeal for a new
trial , not on the ground of Insanity , but on
account of error In the trial of the case.
When the supreme court declined to grant
a new trial Is was the duty of Judge Scott
to execute the mandate of the court. Any
other course on his part was simply Judicial
outlawry. A judge has no more right to
brush aside an order of a higher court than
nn army ofllcor haa to disobey the commands
of his superiors In rank. It was not for
Judge Scott to determine whether or not
Hargeshelmcr Is deranged and therefore sub
ject to clemency. That function Is not for
him to exercise. It belongs to the board of
Insanity and the governor. If the man Is
Insane now the Insanity commission will so
certify to the governor and then It becomes
the governor's duty to direct his transfer to
ono of the state hospitals for the Insane.
If the proof Is conclusive that the man was
Insane nt the time ho committed the crime
for which ho has been convicted and was
therefore Irresponsible for his acts the gov
ernor Is empowered to exercise clemency by
granting him a pardon. In any event Judge
Scott's course In this case Is unjustifiable
and Indefensible.
TII'O SPRCIAL ASSKSSMRftT DRCISIOXS.
Two Important decisions upon different as
pects of our special assessment laws have
Just been made by two different state courts
that arc of considerable Importance to the
owners of property In the various cities of
Nebraska. Although the opinion In one case
was written by a Judge of the district court
and that In the other by a Judge of the su
preme court , both tend to harmonize the In
terpretation of the law on that subject Jn
Nebraska with the Interpretation In oilier
" " "
states.
The first of these decisions , holds that
where assessments are made for benefits at
the some time that damages are awarded for
Injuries arising from the construction of any
street Improvement the damages must be
appraised and paid without reference to the
assessment for benefits. The constitution of
Nebraska simply says that private property
shall bo neither taken nor damaged without
Just compensation therefor. It Is quite plausIble -
Iblo to argue that where property Is bene
fited and damaged at the same time the ac
tual damage Is merely the difference be
tween the two. Dut under the practice that
generally prevails the benefits in these In
stances have been practically counted twice.
Whore , for example , a street Is opened or
graded , the damages awarded have been as
certained by subtracting the value of the
estimated benefits from that of the estimated
Injuries. Then , In addition to this , the prop
erty owner has been assessed with his share
of the cost of making the Improvement , that
Is the construction of the street or bringing
It to grade. The only theory upon which
these assessments are Imposed Is that the
Improvement benefits the property to that
extent. The property owner , therefore , pays
for the benefits twice , once In a deduction
from the estimated damages , and again In
the assessment to defray the cost. As a
matter of fact the two operations of awardIng -
Ing damages for Injuries and of Imposing
assessments for benefits have nothing In
common , and.lt Is only accidental that they
usually take place simultaneously. It Is to
the confusion that has arisen from thus
joining them together that this Injustice
has been occasioned. If these operations are
completely separated , as the opinion of the
court seems to suggest Is the proper way ,
the expense of such Improvements will be
more equitably divided among the property
owners for whoso benefit they are under
taken.
Dy the supreme court decision the consti
tutional exemption from taxation of prop
erty devoted to religious , charitable and edu
cational purposes Is declared not to extend
to special assessments. In other states ,
where the provisions of the constitution are
very similar to those of Nebraska , the same
construction has been placed upon the law ,
with perhaps one exception. In Georgia
such Institutions have been exempted from
liability for special assessments on the
specious ground that It Is the declared policy
of the state to encourage them , and there
was a Nebraska case Indicating that the
supreme court was Inclined to taUc the same
view. The later decision , however , rests
upon the more accepted doctrine and cer
tainly appears the more reasonable. If the
owners of private property must pay for
benefits conferred upon them by street Im
provements there la no reason why the
owners of church property should not do the
same. Doth are equally Increased In value.
If church property were exempt churches
could acquire land In the heart of a city ,
watch Its rise In value through Improvements
paid for by the neighboring owners , and
finally , after all the benefits have been ob
tained for nothing , sell at the market prlco
and pursue the same plan again elsewhere.
It would be discrimination of the most unjust
kind. Inequalities do exist and are Inevi
table In the levy of special assessments , but
It Is the duty of the courts to remedy them
If In their power , as In the Instances hero
cited.

Discussion of possible republican candi
dates for the presidency two years In ad
vance of the meeting of the national conven
tion Is somewhat premature , but It Is the
custom of the American people to Indicate
their preferences a long tlmo before the as
sembling of the nominating body , and already
republicans are discussing the claims and
the availability ot the several distinguished
members of the party whoso names are likely
to bo presented to the national convention of
1S96. The republican party has never been
poor In first rate men for the presidency. Un
like the democratic party It has never been
compelled to regard a single Individual as
having all the availability ns a presidential
candidate. From Its organization It has al
ways had a number of strong and able lead
ers from whom to select for the highest of
fice In the gift ot the people a candidate
worthy ot the popular confidence and sup
port. There has never been any difficulty In
finding such a candidate , but only In choos
ing among them any of equal merit and hav
ing equal claims to this highest recognition
and endorsement ot service to the party and
to the country.
The republican party still has strong and
able leaders In nil respects worthy of the
popular confidence and support. U Is not
uncommon to hear expressions of regret that
among the republican leaders ot today there
Is no one who quite reaches the elevated
standard established by the distinguished re
publicans of the past , but there Is no sub
stantial reason for such a feeling. The men
who arc the foremost champions ot republi
can principles now and are most conspicu
ous In the public attention as such are
hardly Inferior to the greatest of their
predecessors and certainly are the peers of
most ot them. In the courage and fidel
ity of their advocacy of republican principles
they have had no superiors , and It It be said
that they have walked In the path already
made for them and borrowed light from the
past they must at the same time be credited
with having contributed much from their
own abundant Intellectual resources to popu
lar enlightenment regarding the policy and
principles of the republican party.
With respect to preferences , the two lead
ers now most prominent In the thought of
republicans among the possible candidates
for president are William McKlnley and
Thomas D. need. Ex-President Harrison
has friends and all candid republicans con
cede that he gave the country one of the
very best administrations It ever had. No
one questions his ability or his patriotism.
There are some who think Senator Allison
would bo an available candidate. Robert T.
Lincoln would be acceptable to many mem
bers of the party. Dut the men who are most
discussed and who from present Indications
will bo very far In advance of all others be
fore the next national convention are Me- ,
Klnley and Heed , with the former probably
now the choice of a large majority of the
rank and file of the party. A canvass of the
delegates to the convention of the National
League of Republican Clubs resulted In show
ing that 587 favored McKlnley and 142 Reed ,
out of a total of SGG who stated their pref
erences , the balance being divided among'
Harrison , "Allls'on , Camordri , ' Lincoln and' '
Alger. Only sixty of the delegates declined ,
to name their preference , and forty-four of
these were from Indiana. While this need
not bo accepted as accurately Indicating the
preference of the party It must be regarded
as showing that at present there Is a pre
ponderating sentiment favorable to the nomi
nation of Governor McKlnley In 189G. That
there may be a decided change of feeling
within the next two years everybody familiar
with politics will readily admit. It Is pos
sible that neither McKlnley nor Reed will
occupy such a position before the national
convention of 189G as now seems assured to
them. There may bo events In the mean
while that may render It Inexpedient to nom
inate either. Dut It Is clearly the present
outlook that the honor of leading the repub
lican party to victory In 1896 will fall to one
of them.
POSTMASTRHS AND 1'OUTICS.
A circular has been sent out by the post
master general to postmasters of the first ,
second and third classes reviving the order
of President Cleveland during his first ad
ministration regarding the Interference of
office holders In politics. That order recited
that the Influence of federal office holders
should not bo felt In the manipulation of
political primary meetings and nominating
conventions. "The use by these officials of
their position , " ran the order , "to compass
their selection as delegates to political con
ventions Is Indecent and unfair , and proper
regard for the proprieties and requirements
of official place will also prevent their as
suming the active conduct of political cam
paigns. " It Is stated that the postmaster
general supplements this admonition with
some advlco containing hints on good breedIng -
Ing and the proper relations that should ex
ist between postmasters and citizens.
The postmaster general said In reply to
the question whether the order was Intended
to bo serious that It Is as sincere as any
order that has over emanated from the de
partment and that violations of It will bo
treated the same as violations ot other or
ders and regulations of the department. It
Is to be hoped that Postmaster General DIs-
sell will as far * as possible see that this
order Is faithfully compiled with. The prin
ciple It embodies Is right and ought to be
rigidly adhered to. Postmasters , and Indeed
all government officials , are servants ot the
people and should take no active part In
politics beyond casting their votes. Dut If
the present postmaster general Is at all like
the head of the department during the last
years of Mr , Cleveland' ) ! first administration
the order he has Issued will be as worthless
now as It was then In restraining democratic
postmasters from active participation In pol
itics. Everybody who remembers the cam
paign of 1888 knows that no attention what
ever was paid by postmasters or any other
democratic government officials to the order
admonishing them not to actively Interfere
In politics. All over the country they were
conspicuous In the manipulation ot political
primary meetings and nominating conven
tions , and although complaints were made to
the department no attention was given to
them. The "pernicious political activity" of
these officials , conspicuous among them beIng -
Ing the postmasters , was as marked during
that campaign as had ever been the case
during the period before any attempt had
been made to keep office holders out of poli
tics , so far as Interference with primaries
and conventions Is concerned. In some lo
calities their conduct was so bold and of
fensive , In assuming the direction .of politi
cal matters , aa to Invite the condemnation of
democrats themselves. Dut Don Dickinson ,
tht ) then postmaster" ftufieral , whose chief
recommendation for Appointment was his
alleged political nsluUncss , . took no notice
of these flagrant vlolUlons ot the executive
order and no ono w3l oror cren called to
account for dlsregar&iiK It- It was Dick
inson who turned thSJ railway mall service
Into a political m.ictijie , turning out hun
dreds ot rxperlcnqedjfjcpuhllcan clerks and
filling their placer wlni democrats , the re
sult being to almost utterly destroy the ef
ficiency of that branch of the postal service.
Of course at that > tlrtie Mr. Cleveland was
a candidate for rcnbnilnatlon and In the ea
gerness of his desire-ft ) succeed himself all
virtuous enunciations and all matters of
principle were set aside. The olllco holder
was not a pernicious partisan when working
In. his cause. He fs not now , It Is to be pre
sumed , expecting to bo again nominated
certainly not It he Is aware of the senti
ment of his party , outside of the ofilco-
holdlng element , toward him and therefore
the revived order may bo enforced. This ,
however , would be by no means assured In
the event of Mr. Cleveland doslrlng to se
cure the next national convention for a
friend assuming that ho has one with
availability for n presidential candidate. The
circular of the postmaster general Is com
mendable , but It Is not easy to have faith
In Its sincerity when remembering the record
of his democratic predecessor.
Reliable reports from Washington state
that successive appointments of democrats
to places In the government printing office
have brought the number of employes under
Public Printer Donedlct nearly up to the
point where It was when Mr. Palmer made
way for his successor. Mr. Donedlct , It
will be remembered , celebrated his return
to office by dismissing some 1.200 persons
who wcro on the pay roll In his department ,
giving ns his reason that ho wished to reduce
It to a business status , and that there was
no reason why moro people should have
their names on the printing office pay roll
than there Is room to accommodate at one
time. Dy some singular accident all the
employes who were 'dismissed happened to
bo republicans or backed by republican In
fluence. U was freely charged at the tlmo
that these dismissals were for no other purpose -
pose than to fill , the vacancies created with
partisan democrats. Such has turned out
to bo actually the case , and Public Printer
Benedict's professions of more buslness-llko
principles than his predecessor will have to
bo taken for what they are worth.
It looks now as If Artist St. Gaudcns were
going to lose the opportunity of having his
design appear upon the World's fair medals.
Having committed the dreadful offense o
Incorporating Into his design a nude male
figure that shocked the sensibilities of the
delicate senate committee , ho was requested
to eradicate the objectionable feature. At
the same tlmo , however , the designer of the
Philadelphia mint was requested by Secre
tary Carlisle to try his hand at the same
thing , with the result that the secretary
Is moro favorable to It than to the amended
St. Gaudens medaT. 'Senatorial ' modesty
must be protected , Even at the cost , of sacri
ficing the artistic wprk of Mr. St. Gaudens.
The unexpected very ] ften happens. The
Iowa contingent ali , , thp republican .league
meeting captured the committee and secured
through It a recommendation to have Des
Molncs designated ns the place for holding
the next national .league convention. Dut
Ohio'managed to getinIts - work among the"
dolcgates tnd' ' wliejcihcivote-waartaken the
committee was overruled and Cleveland
carried off the prize. , Whether there Is
any significance to bo attached to this re
mains to be seen. The candidacy of Mc
Klnley doubtless queered the lowans.

calls for Is not a war nf International re

governments to annihilate the enemies of
all governments.
Chicago Dispatch : Hut how Is the ovll
to IIP remedied ? Is n question which the
world Is unable ti > answer. It Is useless
to say that nnarchy can 'be staipped nut
merely by prosecuting anarchists. The
dangerous anarchist Is not known until
his victim Is dead or the buildings arc In
ruins. Who know that Cosare Giovanni
Santo was a fnc to civilization until his
knife had cut off the life of Carnet ? How
is his crime to be prevented ? How Is the
anarchy In Sanlo's breast to be crushed
In time to save n republic's president ? It
Is this secrecy that enables anarchy to
laugh at the great police system of Kurope.
It Is this that onnbloH anarchy tit thrive
and murder and make nations quake with
fear. It Is this that must be met before
the great problem of anarchy Is solved ,

Senator Mandorson ( inlay mild ; " 1 am not
In favor of nn Income tux , cither upon In
dividuals or corporations. I shall endeavor
to make the Income provision of the bill as
objectionable as possible. In the hope that
the semite may ultimately strlku out the
entire provision relating to the Income tax ,
believing as I do that It Is unjustifiable. It
Is n step In the direction of the creation ot
n moneyed aristocracy In this country ,
which , paying the expenses of the govern
ment , will ultimately seek and might prob-
.ibly obtain Its entire control. I think the
latter danger la the one moro greatly to bo
dreaded. The greatest disaster that can be
fall the great republic Is that It should pass
under the rule of men of great wealth , and
this Is the first direct Invitation to them to
assume that control. "
"I nm not Batlsfled , " said Senator Allen
today , "with the sugar schedule of the tariff
bill. I nm opposed to letting Into this coun
try HO.OOO tons of sugar every year from
Hawaii without the payment of any duty.
I am opposed to the ad valorem test , because
untold frauds may be nommlttced under the
guise. The best thing John Sherman ever
did In his life was to compel a polarlscopo
test of sugar when ho was secretary of the
treasury. That Is the only true test. I am
opposed to letting the Sugar trust control
the American markets. The president of
the Sugar trust said before the Investigating
committee , In answer to my question , that
the trust has controlled the American mar
ket and Intends to continue to control the
American market If It can do so. My votes
on various schedules up to date are no Indi
cation of how I will vote on the passage of
the bill. I have been helping the democrats
bring their bill through the various stages
of committee of the whole In order that It
may be brought before the senate for final
disposition. "
Senator Allen Is regarded In the senate as
the spokesman of the populist party , and It
Is generally understood that all of the popu
lists , Including Senator Irby of South Carolina
lina , will vote against the revenue bill on
Its final passage.
CAMERON AND PURE SILVER.
"Tho position taken by Senator Cameron
In behalf of the free coinage of silver , "
said Senator Stewart of Nevada today , "Is
not surprising to me , because It Is not new
to me. Mr. Reed of Malno and other poli
ticians of the republican and democratic
parties alike- are gradually coming to the
sliver Bldo of the financial question , but
their coming Is rather lato. Senator Cam
eron has been a consistent friend of silver
for the past ten years or longer. His votes
are on record and can readily bo found In
the senate proceedings. Whenever the sub
ject of free coinage has been before the
senate we always counted on the vote of Sen
ator Cameron , just as wo have counted on
the vote of Teller or any other well known
silver senator. There has never been any
doubt as to how Cameron would vote upon
that question. He was the only friend of
silver that wo had from the eastern section
of our country when the subject of the
repeal of the silver purchase clause was up
for consideration last year. If he were nom
inated for the presidency every silver state
would give him an almost unanimous vote. "

quantity of Indian corn Imported Into Mexico
from the- United States at that port for the
year ending March 31 was 10,885,701 kilo
grams , valued at $303,369. Almost the entire -
tire quantity Imported during the year camo'
