Give the Vigilant a chance. It promises yet to redeem the reputation of American yachts and yaclitmcn Prize Fighter Coibett returns to America too late for the fray IIo should have come two weeks earlier and have saved the gov ernment the expense of calling out the troops. Now that n wax figure of Mr. Debi has been placed on exhibition In the pilnrljnl iiiusce of this country \\o ore able to an nounce that the strike has been a success In one respect at least. It Is quite possible tluit the DrUlsh P.irlla- ment will have concluded Its session's labors and have adjourned to allow Its members to disperse to their homes while the American congress continues sweltering over its tariff bill disagreements. The Chicago Tribune Is trying to throw upon Mr. Debs the -noral respons'bility for all the "had poetiy that is being written on different phases of the strike.Vo protest against this. Debs' responsibility is gitat enough. Spare him this. The Southsldcrs have gobbled tbrco of the blBKest plums from the municipal bread fruit treo. They have n park commissioner , a superintendent of school buildings , and lastly a member of the Hoard of Public Works. The Southsiders ought now to bo content. That new judgcihlp would ba just the thing to steady the rnnks of the administration wing of the- Nebraska democracy. Let the followers of Drjan and free silver see the plums beginning to fall upon the other side of the fence nml the mighty Sandow himself wouldn't bo able to hold them. If Omalm can't supply more than one candl- date for the new circuit Judceshlp local democracy must have permitted Its stock of oulcoseeklnR lawyers to run pretty low. Wo all know better than that , however. Don't bo bashful , boys. The more the merrier. There Is only one judgcshlp , but multitudes of wil ling applicants. Congressman Penca of Colorado has boldly Introduced a resolution Into the house In structing the Judiciary committee to report a bill dcflnjng the powers of federal courts In contempt proceedings. If Mr. Pence is not careful ho may bo himself arraigned for contempt for conspiring to Interfere with the powers of the courts. The senator who would sell Ills \to ' fci an assurance of a fortunate speculation In Sugar trust ceitincnles would t.ot t-top at perjury when called upon to disclose the 'arts. This IB what makes the latest stury of the sugar scandal BO plniislhle , and It Is this that en courages the scandal 'nongers to 1'cep dig ging in the sugar pile. These are the days that malvo the people notlcQ the absence of shade trees along the greater number of Omaha's principal btreels. It Is , to be sure , out of season for tree plantIng - Ing , but not out of season for calling atten tion to the desirability of moro shade trees. Another spring ought not to be allowed to pass wltliout the adoption of eorno compre hensive system that will insure the uniform parking of the streets. While the county commissioners are doing good wnrk in the way of retrenchment , there Is still room for greater saving In certain lines. Kur Instance , the county delivers coal to dependent people by the quarter and halt ton on orders to retail dealers which utiould be Included In the annual fuel con tract. Diiylng coal In quarter ton loads Is an expensive luxury. The county should purchase all its fuel at car-load ratei , ttoro It In some safe place and have It delivered In such qu intltlcs as are called for to parties that are entitled to clmrity. Following the example of Douglas county , Hurt county has organized a Good Uoads association , with the object of agitating for road iniiro\omcnt | and showing how good roads can bo sectird. The Hurt county association la tha second In the state , an e\l- donca of the progicsslvo spirit of the resi dents of that county. If by co-optraUvo work the various counties adjoining Doug- lax county can bo equipped with a system of Improved roads connecting with tlioso that * * > * load to Omaha , the trudo between this city and the surrounding territory must bo ma terially encouraged. Good roads are as nec essary as railroads to bring the farmer to his market In thcso modern dayti. Omaha has always stimulated the building ot additional railroads , nml for the same reason ought to lend its ntd to the movement far good roads. The formation ot Good Uoads associations In the naluhborlug counties Is one ot the first steps toward making road Improvement popu lar. r / KI'A / , tXD CtH'MSFM * IX TUT T l/l/KK / A great deal ot Intcrm 1m been tell re * KirdiDi ; the attitude of Trceldtnf Cleveland townrd the pending tariff bill The country now hai definite and authoritative Informa 1 tion ns to how he stands In his letter to Chairman Wilson of tlie ways and meant committee , read In , the haute of representa tives yesterday. This communication Is dated July 2 , and was therefore written In advance of the appntmcnt ! of the confer ence committee , but It li not the less Im portant on this account. The views It ex- JIMS es the president ntlll entertains , other wise he would not have permitted It to be made public. Unquestionably this letter ex erted a great Influence with the democratic conferees on the part of the house , all of whom , It Is presumed , were made acquainted vlth Its contents before the conference begun. It may be expected to have a more or less decided Influence upon all the sup porters of the Wilson tar IT hill. Mr. Cleveland Is unqualifiedly oppo'ed to the scnittc bill. He declares that It falls nliort of carrying out dcmocritlc principles and responding to democratic pledges , and he Implies that Its adoption would mean party perfidy and party dlxhonor. He urge * that the party must fulfil ! Its repeated promlsej to give our manufacturers free raw ma ter als , and declares that "no tariff measure can accord with democratic principles or promises or bear a genuine democratic badga that does not provide for free raw material. " Ho characterizes as an Incon sistent ab urdlty the proposal to place the wool of the farmer on the free II t while re taining duties on the Iron ore and coal of corporations and opltallsts. He says there Is no middle ground for the adjustment of the question of free raw material , since Its subjection to any late of tariff taxation , great or tmall , Is alike vlolatlve of demo- ciatlc principles and democratic good faith. While not endorsing the sugar schedule of the senate bill , Mr. Cleveland says that "sugar is a legitimate and logical article of mcnue taxation , " and that to tax It will not be running counter to democratic prin ciples. He recognizes that the subject Is a delicate one under present conditions , a suggestion the significance of which Is easily appreciated when it Is remembered that the secretary of the treasury , presumably with the concurrence of the president , had a great deal to do with arranging the sugar schedule as It Is In the pending bill , and Is under stood to ha\e received ad\lce regarding It from officials of the Sugar trust. Jlr. Cleve land says ho deprecates the proposed In come tax , but remarks that In matters of this kind , "tthlch do not violate a fixed and recognized dcmociatlc doctrine , we arc willing to defer to the Judgment of a ma jority of our demociatic brethren. " The democratic party has ne\er until now fa vored an Income tax , and if persistent de nunciation of such a tax in the past may fairly be regarded ns evidence of party doc- triue it Is now being violated by the sup port which the party Is giving to the income t.\ " feature of the tariff bill. Jlr. Cleveland's letter U virtually an ar raignment of his party. It Is a confession of both party Incapacity and party In in- ccrlty. Its effect will be regarded with great Interest. What answer will the forty-three demociatic senators who supported the pend ing tariff bill make to It ? What will the conservative democrats of the senate , whoso Influence secured the amendments to the house bill to whch 3Ir. Clei eland objects say to the Intimation that they are endeav oring to lead the party Into a position of perfidy and dishonor ? Will Gorman and Drlco and Murphy and Smith and one or two other senators who succes fully carried through several hundred amendments to the Wilson bill recede from their posit on and stultify UimsLlvcs by accepting the measure that ceme from the house with Its free raw materials and other features objectionable to them ? It Is hardly possible. Senator Gorman Is reported to have said to some democratic representatives "Gentlemen , there are two tariff measures the McKinley law and the senate bill ; you can take your choice. " Undoubtedly this expresses the po sition of a sufficient number of democratic senators to defeat tariff legislation If they cannot have their views complied with , and it is highly probable that to a man they w'lll resent and rebuke executive Interfer ence. The prospect of tariff legislation by this congre s has not been improved by Mr. Cleveland's letter. run pitunmrrtoN OF GOLD. Those who ascrlbo the depreciation of values and flninclal and economic disturb ances to a decrease In the production of gold will got no encouragement for their theory from the report of the dliector of the mint. This states the value of the world's out put of gold In 1893 to have been , In round numbers , $165,000,000 , an amount but Ilttlo less than the average value of the world's output of both gold and silver for several years before the passage of the act of 1873 stopping the coinage of standard silver del lars. It Is estimated that of tills produc tion $00,000,000 was used In the arts , ? 25- 000,000. the product of Itussla , tenmlnod In that country to be hoarded , and $3,000,000 was Imported Into India , leaving an amount of gold available for the new coinage of clvillrcd countries , Hnssia escepted , of $ G7- 000,000. Accoidlng to the most trustworthy calculations this exceeded the amount of both gold and silver available for coinage In the years 1SGO-1S73 , which U stated to have been a little over ? CO,000,000. It Is an Interesting fact , not of general knowledge , that Hiusla hoards all of her own gold production and nearly all that she Imp3tts. The mint icport sa > s that gold at present exported to Hussla Is to a very great extent , llko the gold exported In years past to India , largely definitive exportation and Is hoarded , not so much by Individuals as by the Imperial government and the bank of the state. Hussla withdraws from circula tion not only the product of Its own gold mined , but the foreign coin and gold bars which It Imports. The net Import of gold Mrs and coin Into that country during the two years ot 1891 and 1S92 Is stated to have amounted to nearly $115,000,000 , and as the balance of tradu hun for a number of years been favorable to Itussla this excess of im ports of gold bullion and foreign gold coin Into the country , llko the gold output of Its own mines , serves no monetary purpose and to the extent of the excess of the Imports of foreign gold , at least , Impoverishes the gold monetary circulation of some other country. The report gives the amount of gold accumu lated In the .imperial uusslan troisury and bank ot the Btnto In each year since 1SS3 , showing that thcru has been a steady In- croaito with the exception of on or t o years , the amount In 1SSJ having been $114- 009.000 and In IS93 $172,000.000. This fund 1ms been amassed to a largo extent , saya the director of the mint , by draining the clmnncU of the monetary circulation of other countries , which must bo again replenished from newly produced gold before there can bj any Increase In the actual active gold circulation ot the world from the annual out put ot the metal. With regard to future production It is eitlmated that the minimum value of the output ot gold In 1501 will nmomil to linS.OOO.OOO mid In 1S95 to $18.1.000 000. II Ihene flsuren are borne out by suits the Kold production of the current year will malic the gold output alone $20,009,000 In execs * ol that of both gold and silver before 1873 , thus giving a larger amount of gold for the coinage purposes of civilized nations , cxrep ! IUI88I.1. to keep pare , to come cxtnl at least , with the growth of population. These fig ures should ri'ccUc careful contldcratlon from those who affirm that all existing financial and economic troubles arc duo to n decreasing prodnr' n of gold. That the hoarding of gold by European countries may have some Influence In producing these con ditions may be admitted , but even with this It Is scon that the gold available for coin age by civilized nations other than Uussl.i last year was greater In amount than the production of both silver and gold before the act of so-called silver demonetization was passed. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A o/i.m The management of the affairs of Douglas county under the present board of commis sioners merits commendation. A compara tive statement of receipts and expenditures for the past fiscal year affords a gratify ing exhibit. The commissioners have In augurated business methods In all branches with telling effect. Tor the fiscal year ending July 1 , 1S9I , the net ordinary expenses were $293,519.09 , as against $315SS2.93 for 1S93. The current expenses of the county hos pital and poor farm during the year were over $11,000 below the expenses for 1893 , notwithstanding the fact that the institu tion was taxed last winter to Its full ca pacity. The differences in some of the Items are decidedly marked. For Instance , the amount expended for milk In 1893 was $1.290 , while In 1S91 it was only $333 , Amount paid for groceries In 1893 , $8,764 ; In 1S9I , $4,443. Amount expended for soap In 1893 , $277 ; for 1891 , $2C. The expense for drugs for 1S93 was $2,093 , and for 1S9I only $1,019. The cost of fuel for 1S93 was $1,803 , and for 1891 It was $2,001. There Is a reduction of $950 In the Item of dry goods and clothing and a reduction of over $1,000 In the cost of meats. A similar decrease Is noted In the expenses ot the county jail. The most striking change is noted In the exepndlture for stationery and printing , which aggregated $15,991 In 1893 and was reduced to $8,207 In 1894. This saving ol over $7,500 In one year was effected chiefly through the efficiency of County Clerk Sackett. These retrenchments In county finances arc largely If not wholly due to the new rules adopted by the board within the past year. Under these rules every employe and of ficer Is held strictly to his work and all purchases are made on requisition properly endorsed and on awards made to the low est responsible bidder. The loopholes and sinkholes that have caused so much leakage In the past have been plugged up and the barnacles am1 supernumeraries have been dispensed with. For the first time In many yeirs nil county warrants are paid1 on presentation at a time of the year when the county treasury has been subjected to Its heaviest drain. In other words the county has met its current e\penses , paid oft over $30,000 of outstand'ng ' debts , expended over $20,000 for rebuilding the county hospital and Is In position to draw Interest upon the surplus deposited by the treasurer In the banks. Kiiour.n in : ron.MALiY HEVOKFD. The persistent refusal of Mr. Deb ? to formally declare the strike ended cannot fall to work great Injury to railroad employes and the cause of organized labor In general. The primary object of the strike was to force the railway managers to bring pressure upon the Pullman company and thus to bring about a settlement between that com pany and its striking employci through ar- bltratian. It was expected by the leaders of the railway union that they would bo able to prevent the hauling of Pullman cars on passenger trains over the trunk lines. The fact that passenger trains with Pullman cars are now running over all the trunk lines that have contracts with Pullman shows conclusively that the boycott of Pullman cars has proved a failure. The operations of the railway union men now on strike are confined to the clogging of the freight traffic over several lines of railway , principally on the Pacific coast. There is no prospect , howo\er , that either the railway managers or the Pullman company will be compelled to yield to the dennnds of the railway union oven If thh warfare were continued for many months. The nselessness of prolonging such a hopeless contest ought to bo recognized nt once. President Debs claims that while the passenger traffic has been resumed on most of the roads the freight business of many of them Is still demoralized. Admitting this to be true , what Is to be gained by Inflicting great hardship on the public so long as it does not promise to afford relief to the Pullman strikers ? Until the strike Is formally declared off the striking lallway employes will be not only earning nothing but consuming the savings which they have put aside. Hvery day that the strikeIs needlessly prolonged brings them nearer to destitution and in volves them and their families in want. The drain upon the private hoards and the treas ury of the organization cannot continue foiever , and the further expenditure of the common funds cannot bo defended \\hcn there is no reasonable expectation of an ade quate return. Of tiie strikers on the rail roads the greater number have either gone back to work or have lost their places to others. A considerable number of the original strikers at Pullman have also yielded and commenced work once more. Tlioso who still hold out do so for the most part because the strike order has not been officially rasokcd. Declaring the strike oft will leave the labor organizations free to seek rediess by some means more promising than a pro longation of the present struggle. They should see to It that this strike Is the last of the great railway strikes. They should inslfit upon legislation that will facilitate the settlement of differences between railway omplojts and their employers without re- soiling to warfare that alwajs promotes dis order and violence. After all the efforts of Delegate Hnullns to provide a pen and holder worthy of the occasion for use by the president in afllxlng his signature to the act admitting Utah Inio the union , President Cleveland had to wrlto his name with an ordinary steel point. Mr. Kan tins' disappointment at seeing his care fully laid plan for a spectacular event ml- cairy can well bo Imagined. Dut as ho has secured possession ot the genuine pen and holder for preservation by the now state the disappointment ought to bo at least blunted. To the ordinary mind this common pen will be more Impressive than the fancy ono of sold nml nllUT that was procure' ! but failed to come Into service. It will remind us how Insignificant aru the tools by which we ac complish great achievements , bow mighty til * pen c.m be when xvleHcd by n rnnntcr hand Imbued with-he authority delegated by the people. The pon.the president , congress , all were In this prAWdlnR but Iho URcnts of the- people of tllf1l'nUcJ States. Without the authority cdnfdfrwl by the people the signature of Onw ri Cleveland upon the parchment wouldliovc been no more than that of any olher1maji , whether written with n gold pen or not. The common steel point Is just as v.iliial > U-a a souvenir as the more expensive ono wuilul have been. It was to haveU > een cxpictcd that crimina tion would be foHowcd by recrimination , and that the striker/ who ha\o been accused ot destroying railroad property and partici pating In riots wpulilj-ln turn accuse the rail road managers of jhems'lvcs Instigating the various acts of lawlessness. As a matter of fact , few of the men to whom the employ ment ottolcncc has been brought conclu sively home are members of the unions that were ordered out. and It will doubtless bo difficult If not Impossible to prove that the railroads had their own cars fired or deputized em ployes to lead the riots. The lawlessness seems to have been Indulged In chiefly by crowds ot hoodlums who wcro under control of nalthcr side and who simply seized the opportunity to commit depredations which they would not dare under ordinary circum stances. The Slate Board of Agriculture has de cided to take Into consideration the offer of n mile track when It receives bids for the location of the state fair for the next period of five years. Omaha ought to have a mile track within easy reach , whether she secures the stnto fair or not. If she had a good mile track her chances of capturing the location would be considerably Improved. Hero Is an opportunity for the lovers of horse flesh and the business Interests of Omaha to Join hands. A strong bid can be submitted to the state board If only the attempt Is made. The location of the state fair for five years to come Is something worth fighting for. Lin coln is sure to make the fight. Shall Lincoln bo allowed to take the prize without a vigor ous competition ?

For weeks Crurcn had been putting In his time manufacturing sentlnirnt favorable to his candidacy , and the machine was with him. He forced the local republican paper to support him , with the icsult that another newspaper was started to fight him and expose his record. It Is raid that this fight will be kept up and carried to the state convention. York Times Present Indications nre that the republican state convention will have very little work to do. The next state ofll- ccis will be nominated almost without a struggle nnd all parties agrer that they will be elected by a larger majority than has been srcn in Nebraska since the great transgres sion. Hugcnc Moore , Joseph Hartley and probably Summers will be nominated by acclamation and Prof. Corbott will have so little opposition that It will take only one ballot to decide the rase There nre only two candidates for governor nnd there Is a strong probability that there will be only one when the convention Is called to order. For the odlces of secretary of state and land com missioner there will be some scrnnplng , but tlie contests will be quickly decided. ] > toi'i.i : . , ! . > it 3 iu.\at , The umbrella trust has been forcibly closed by n leceUer.

As their testlmonj accompanies this report and -self-esplan- - ntorv , I will do no more thtin to sav that I think It fullv discloses tlie nec.t-s.lty fern n law prohibiting this practice" Speaking entliely apart fiom the facts cllscloiexl In this case , It Is Impossible foi me to conceive of a person who Is en- p.ined In dlsehaiRlnu tlc ) duties of the oIIIce , of United States senator , and who may , at any time , be renulied to consider 01 vote on a measure affecting the public welfnie , to illvoice his ptlvate Interests fiom tho'C of the public ; and If ho Is compelled to ncElect the one or the othei , I think we Jjnve a right to conclude thnt ho will In- vnilablv neglect the public Interest to pie- serve his own. It Is n delicate mntter for me to .speak upon this ubjeut , but a "ense of public duty leqnlres mo to condemn the practice ns unwise and fraught with danger , nnd as one which , if Indulged In to any consider able extent bv scnntois and leprehenta- tlvcs , will Inevitably lead to the defeat of needed , reform In legislation. There is no evidence whatever connect ing Senator llansom of North Carolina with any speculation in Sufrar or other stocks. The testimony shows that his son , George llansom , a young man of 22 vears of age , and Captain Haines , the messenger to the committee of which ho is chairman , spec ulated In a small vv.iv In stocks. Hut the evidence leaves no doubt that this was done entlielv without the knowledge or consent of Senator Hansom , and that ho never knew of it until within a very few honis of the time he was c.illed to the witness stand He Is fully and completely exonerated from either enganinK In spec ulations or having knowledge tint his son nnd Captain is.uncs weie doing HO The evidence does not show that the Susar trust had any direct Inlhience In procuring the piesentation to the senate of the committee amendment to the SMiCTr schedule , although I think that "ohednlo In so far as It presetIbos nn ad valorem system of taxation Is entliely satlRfactory to the trust. Theio Is nothing In the evi dence to show that Secretary Carlisle had any improper Inteiviews with any repre sentative of the trust , or that nny advice he may have given or assistance he may have rendered the Imnnec- committee was at all Improper or out of place On the other hand , the evidence discloses that such set vices ns he rendered In the premises weic stilctly In accordance with a lotiK prevailing custom of the 'fiou'iuy depart ment He diafted the sugar schedule as jiies'-nted to the senate at the request of Senator Jones of Aikanmis , an active mom- bcr of the subcommittee , and I am will convinced that In what Henatoi Jones cllil In the promises bo was actuated by honoi- able motive" , and had no deslio to unduly favor the Sugar trust In any ivFpeet I bollvo It to be due. to all of these of ficers to sav that the evidence does not cast n Rii plclon upon their conduct when viewed In the light of the custom hcieto- fore provalllnt : of transacting this pint of the public IniHlnes-s In the Trt.isury de partment LOHHYiNfj snniTLn nn cunricnD 1 am thoroughly convinced , however , thnt no senator or teprosentatlvo should ever peunlt himself to be approached upon any subject connected with legislation by those lepreHcnUiii1 private or special Interests , except on such occasions when such portions tions may bo henid by the committee of which ho Is a inomlur , exactly as they would bo hoaiil In a court of Jnstleo In a casu thpio pending und to be determined 1 Know of no more reason why a senator or representative Hhmild bo nppro.icliod , tnlXod v.ith and Imnnttunril by a poison represcntliiK a special Interest to bo nf. feetc-cl by legislation than that a judge before whom a ia.se Is pending and Is to bo tiled should bo. approached by one of Iho lltlKants and the cam > bo privately riun ; l und presented to him out of < omt.

The house committee on agriculture hns decided by a vote of 8 to 2 upon a fnvorablo report on the bill placing all imitations of butter under such police limitation as tha stales may prescribe This report is the re sult of continuous work of Mr. Hulncr of Nebraska , but the formal report will ba made to the hotibo by Mr. Korman of Illinois , a democratic member of tlie committee. The decision Is of such Importance that although the work Is dons by n republican , the demo cratic majority wid not permit him to have official credit for the work. Senator 1'cttigrew of South Dakota Is slightly Improved In health today , but Is still confined to his robin. Congressman I'lckler was upon the floor of the senate the greater portion of tlie day , watching the clauses of Indian appropriation In which the state of South Dakota is most interested , and securing the nld of Senator Allison of Tow.i In looking after the In terests of his state. Congressman Mrrc ° r nt the conclusion of reading1 n reninrKiiblo letter ot the president said : "It seems to mo that the house of representatives should Impeach the president for overstepping his constitutional power und undertaking to dictate to congress concerning national legislation I think the house should Impeach him nnd the senate should try him on that chnrgo and I believe ho would bo convicted. The consross , the president nnd the supreme court are co-ordlnnto branches of government of this republic and It Is not constitutional , nnd therefore unwarrantable for any co-ordinate branch of government to undertake to interfere with or dictate to another. Tire president might ai well writs n letter to the supreme court of the Unlte4 States directing the finding of a decision orii a matter of law which would be suitable to the president , and tn accordance with democratic principles , as to write such a letter to bd read to tire congress of the United States.
