The call for the democratic stnto conven
tion Is cominir , and so Is ChrUtmas.
The date when the new tariff bill will go
Into operation Is still subject to change.
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-

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

courages the scandal 'nongers to 1'cep dig

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 -

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.

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.

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 ?

Senator Allen of Nebraska , who wai r
member of the Sugar tnvcetlgatltii ; com
mlttec , made an additional report lo the
senate supplcmentlnr ; that of the commit
tee. lie says :
In view of the fact thnt the report c

The resolution. It will be observed , re
quire * us (1 ( ) To Investigate and lepnr
whether the charge of an nttempt to brlbt
Senators Hiirloii and K * , le in true , ( J ) ti
Inquire fuither whether any i onltlbulloii
have been mnile by the Rucnr ttust 01 nm
person noting therewith to Unv pnllllcn
party for campaign or election purposes , o
to serin o or defeat legislation , and ( . " .

I Imvp to snv that PO far ns the charge
against Senators llnnton nml Kvie In cnn

The c pcntlimoii staml entirely nor-ulttiil
nnd I will illKinlss this brunch of the cast
from further conMdi-rntlon Innmnmh as
we have herctofoio fullv icpnrteil thcicnn
KcKanllni * * the t-rcoml pripo'ltlnn , the
testimony shews to mv mind quite con
rlnsively that contilbutlotiH were nmiln bv

no clnnht of the f.tot thnt the Sutrni tuis
In the state of New York In 1S)2 con

for campaign pill poses , and at the saiiu
time , and for the same puipise , contribute !
monev to the icpubllcnn jmlv In tlie tntc
of Ma-s'ichusttt' * It Is lute thnt these
witnesses tcstllled that Iheli ronttlbntlnn
were made for local and stnto puipnfti's bti
there Is no iloubt In my mind that the
money went Into the general campaign
fund of those slates , nnd was nsi il us
much for national as for stale nnd lorn
purposes The evidence f ut ther disclose < tin
the books of the Atnnlrnn Snsrar Ileflnlnj ,
company contain an accuiate account of tin
amount of thc'-e contiihutions , or , nt H'.ist
they contain mifllrlpnt dita ftom whldi tin
amount can be nnurntely n-crt tallied Hut
the witnesses In each Instance refused tn
produce the books or to dKilnso tht
amounts of such contiibutlons ipsppctlvelv
I think the American Supnr Iteflnin-j com-
panv , populiilv and more piopeilv Kimvn
us the Amrilcnn Sugar trust , has bf-en It
the habit of conti Ibutincr money lo the na
tional campaign funds of both the ilemn-
crntic and tepubllc.in paitles through Its
president , with the expectation. If not tin
Implied promise , tint whichever vmty suc
ceeded to power the Intelests of the com
pany should be "can-il foi" bv It. This
deduction Is fully warranted 1 > \ the testi
mony taken bv us Th.it a pnlltlc.il party
must have money foi the purpose of con
ducting a Ictrltlmtte cnmp ilfrn , nnd to be
legitimately expended , no one will ilenv ,
but that n great coipontlon that over
shadows and threatens the nation should
contribute libciallto promote the success
of one political p.uty In one state , and the
success of another political pirtv In an
other stnte , nt the same general election , 1
think , cannot be Instilled by nnv stanrlinl
of morality or process of honest rrn onlnrr
Such contributions c.m only be prompted
by the expectation of the contiibutor that
whichever pai tv shall succeed to the con
trol of the government It will look with
some degteo of leniency In Its legislation
upon his Intelests A wisely drawn and
lurtlcious law looklne to a prompt and ef-
Hclent remedy for this growing evil should
he passed by congress nnd appioved by the
presidentTWO
TWO WHO SPECULATED
The testimony shows that two scmtor" ,
lion John II MuPherson of New Tcrbfv
and lion Matthew S Quay of Pennsyl
vania did enKato In speculating In what
arc known as Sutrar stneks or certlllcates
durlmr the nendencv of the present tnilff
bill before the senate. 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

Senator 1'cttigrew of South Dakota 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

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

Impeach him nnd the senate should try him

the supreme court are co-ordlnnto branches

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
