( luiiernl Passenger Agent IJuclmnan Is
reported to be very much exorcised
over the alleged growth of free silver
sentiment In Nebraska nnd the west.
He appeals lo Secretary Morton to save
the Blntc. It Is like the voice In the
wilderness crying out for a Moses to de
liver the people from Impending ( lisa-
ter. Mr. IMichiinan may have been
mured by a desire to iireserve the jilmon
pure principle : ! of democracy or he may
have thought that the free sliver faction
In Nebraska politics may resolve llselt
Into a menace to the domination of the
faction of Nebraska democracy whose

While all friends of sound money
otiblless desire to dispel the delusions

ve fear that Mr. lUiehanan has driven
Is pigs to the wrong market. In the
rst place It Is sheer folly to expect
iecrclary Morton could successfully
lerform the role of Moses as a leader
f the common people , and especially
lie worklngmcn and farmers. Mr. Moi-
on has taken pains to repel that ehifs
I every turn and It would not be lut-
nnn nature to expect that the people
vho count him as an aristocrat would
ollow him or lake counsel of him. In
he next place Mr. Huchnnan could not
cusonably Ignore the fact that Ne-
miska republicans will In the future

lies enunciated In the national plat-
onus of their party. The republican

Governor Ilolcomb made no mistake
n vetoing the Immigration bill , al-
.hough the reasons given for his dls-
ipproval of that measure may not strike
some people as logical. The original
leslgn of Its promoters may have been
amiable , but Us effect would have been
simply to fasten more tax eaters upon
he state without corresponding ndvan
age to the taxpayers. The hill created
i board of Immigration commissioner ! '
with a secretory at $1 .00 ( ) per annum
mil a clerk at $1.200 a year. With all
this machinery the amount appropriated
was only $10.000 for I wo years , of which
fll.-lOO would have been paid out foi
salaries and $ ; tX)0 ( ) for Immigration doc
uments , advertising , stationery and post
age. In other words , while the salary
1st was to be $11,200 n year , the amount
devoted to stimulate Immigration was
fl.SOO per annum , of which at least
M > 00 would have been swallowed nj
in stationery and postage. With onlj
$1,200 a year for advertising and docu
ments the work of the immigration bu
roan would have been a farce. The
true Inwardness of the passage of this
1)111 ) was the anxiety on the part of
political mercenaries to sadde a couple
of useless barnacles on the state. Gov
ernor Uolcomb certainly was juslllioi
In sitting down on such a scheme.

The authoritative statement of tin
terms proposed by Japan as the price a
which China can secure peace does no
differ materially from what had beet
previously given out by the vlgilan
correspondents who me watching tin
course of affairs In the Orient. Tlu
first. Impression likely to be made b.\
these terms Is that the .Japanese gov
eminent has not been greatly Inlluencei
by considerations of moderation , what
ever attention It may have given t <
those of exiKHllency. And still her de
mauds ore , under the circumstances
not excessive or unjust , while , if vlewet
with reference to the benelit.s likely ti
accrue to civilization and to progress
> n Improved lines In that quarter of tin
world , they must be approved by en
lightened mankind.
.lapau was bound to make the Independence
pendence of Coren n paramount coudl
tlun of peace. It was for this. Indeed
that the war was declared , for .lapai
distinctly proclaimed at the beginning
of hostilities that she sought no in
quisition of territory. Her object was
simply to destroy Chinese control am
authority In Corca , because It had IOIIK
been Inimical to her Interests and wa
growing steadily more so. With Core :
independent , made so by the prowess
of Japanese arms , Chinese Inllucnci
will disappear from that country am
that of Japan will dominate It. Till
being the case , Corea will In a brie
time have a well established and stabU
government and Japan a valuable com
merelul and political ally. The demani
for the cession of the Island of l-'ormos ;
Is Justifiable and as a part of .lapai
that fertile and valuable territory wll
speedily begin to contribute something
to the world's wealth. It may not b
for this reason that Japan wants th
Island. Strategic considerations prob
ably prompted the demand. Hut a
any nite Formosa will assume mud
greater Importance as a part o
Japan than It has been or was eve
likely lo be under the control of China
The proposed permanent occupation o
1'ort Arthur and contiguous terrltorj
Is obviously for strategic reasons. Th
Indemnity demanded will not imii-1
more than reimburse Japan for the wa
outlay and Is therefore not excesslv
or unreasonable. It Is , Indeed , moder
ale In comparison with the Indemnity
paid by France to Germany. ( ) tlu >
conditions contemplate the opening u
of China to commerce , a mutter li
which not Japan alone but all com
merclal nations are Interested. The un
locking , so to speak , of the Interior o
the Chinese empire to commerce wll
be the most notable and wlde-reaclilni ,
result , there can be nodoubt , of tli
one-sided conlltct. .
The acceptance by China of the term
of peace seems to be ossureU , for sh
must choose between this and the dis
memberment of the empire. When th
new order of things Involved in a eon
cession of Japan's terms begins ther
will be opportunity for almost ondlc : >
conjecture as to the possible const
quonees and certainly the world wll
lserve its oi > eraUon with ever IIKTOUB-
ig Interest. The changes to IK ? effected
inst be In the Interest of civilization
n the eastern world , but what revolt- !
onnry changes may be brought about
n the political and commercial rein-
OIKS of those countries with the other
attons of the earth It Is Impossible to
'oreseo. ' One thing can be confidently
dinned , nnd that Is that Japan will
ereaftor play no Insignificant or tinlin-
ortnnl part In the world's affairs.

The resignation of Chief Justice Heron -
on of the Kansas supreme court In
rder lo take si place In a law linn ( lo
ng the legal business of a great rail-
otid corporation once more calls attcn-
Ion to the dllllcnlty of retaining good
udges on the bench at the salaries
mid In most of the western states ,
'he salary attaching to the position
vhtch Judge Ilorton Is abandoning Is
U.ooo a year , and tills he does not think
sulllclent Inducement lo counter-
mlatiee the flattering promise of private
irnctlce. Willie this Is the latest In-
Ident of this kind , It Is by no means
in uncommon occurrence for Judges to
eslgn their olllces on account of the
nadequaey of ( he salaries.
Mniost at tile same moment , however ,
ve are witnessing another movement
n Nebraska Illustrative of the opposite
endency. Kx-Chlef Justice U'eeso of
he Nebraska supreme court Is to devote
ill of his attention to the work of dean
if the law school under the State nut-
erslty at a salary of $1,000 and to give
ip the private practice which he had
ultlvatcd since his retirement from the
) ench. Here the attraction of what is
cully ii public olllco is enough lo make
ip for the chance of llnanclal loss re
sulting from the change.
The dllllculty Is to fix the salaries of
udlclal olllces at just that point that
ivlll compensate men of ability without
linking the money the sole Incentive to
otllce. The corporations , especially the
nllroad corporations , have led lawyers
of today to look for fees that were uu-
icard of a decade or "two ago. llijt ju
llclal salaries In the western states
mve not experienced a corresponding
nerense , If any Increase at all. For this
eason among others the legislature
atcly adjourned voted to submit lo the
teople of Nebraska a constitutional
imcndmcnt to fix the salaries of the
ludges of the supreme and district
courts. Nothing can prevent Judges
from resigning ( o accept more tempting
positions , but adequate salaries will re
duce its frequency to a minimum.

The date fixed by the Itrltlsh govern
ment for the payment of the Indemnity
demanded from Nicaragua Is not far off
and so far as known the Nlcnrngunn
government has not signified what It
Intends to do. Great Britain Is con
centrating a squadron to enforce Its
demand and it Is evidently the purpose
of that government not to stand any
trilling In the matter , but. If necessary ,
to take forcible measures for collecting
the Indemnity. It Is said that the gov
ernment of Nicaragua will probablj
wait until tlie lust moment in order ti
ascertain how far It will be supported
by the United States in case of a re
fusal to pay the indemnity.
It Is understood that our government
has received full Information from the
Ilrittsh ambassador as U > the means
which Great Britain will adopt In case
of last resort to enforce her demand
upon the Central American republic ,
anil the statement Is made upon good
authority Hint the Tnilcd States will
not interfere with the program laid
down , us made known to the State de
partment. This contemplates the Brit
ish occupation of the Nicaragua custom
house until the amount of the Indem
nity Is collected , but It docs not Include
any occupation of NIcaraguan territory
beyond the time required to enforce the
British demand. The administration ,
after a thorough review of the case , Is
said to regard the Indemnity called for
by Great Britain as fully warranted by
the circumstances and that its collec
tion will be Justified by International
precedents. Therefore , so long as the
Nicaragua incident does not tend to un
Infraction of the Monroe doctrine , or
to the oppression of a sister republic ,
the administration will not feel war
ranted in Interfering. The position of
our government , It Is understood , has
been made known to the special envoy
of Nicaragua.
There can be no reasonable question
that the administration Is right In the
view Unit so far as the payment of the
indemnity Is concerned this govr.-nment
Is not called upon to take any part In
the matter. If the amount demanded
wore so excessive ns to indicate a pur
pose on the part of Great Itrltaln to
oppress Nicaragua the case would be
different and our government might
very properly Interpose with 11 view to
having die amount reduced , but while
Nicaragua may llnd It somewhat bant
to spare $ " -,000 out of Us limited re
sources there Is no evidence that the
British government named this amount
with the Idea of oppressing ( lie little
republic.
Of course the sympathy of the Ameri
can people is with Nicaragua , but the
government must consider the matter
with reference to Its International obli
gations , regardless of what public sen
timent may be. If the United States
should assume to Interfere In contro
versies of this kind , where American
states are Involved , It would be In end
less trouble. The Independent states of
this hemisphere should understand that
wldle this country Is ready to protect
them agalniit Kuropeun aggressions upon
their territory it Is no part of the pol
icy of the United States to shield them
from just responsibility when they de
liberately violate their international 1 i
obligations. The much misunderstood

The contractors who are Interested In
public improvements have squandered
i good deal of time In lighting over the
vetoed charter amendments. If they
will now center their efforts upon the
assessors and make them list all the
taxable property at uniformly fair val
uation they will place the city in condi
tion to issue all the paving and sewer
bonds that may be needed during the
next two years. A 10 per cent raise on
the aggregate assessment of last year
will enable the city to Issue JlMO.OOO
more bonds , and that would be nil that
has ever been contemplated under the
new charter.
The Central Labor union has sud
denly nvakencd to the fact that not
one of the bills specially championed as
demanded by organized labor succeeded
of enactment durln ; ? the recent session
of the legislature. Yet every one of the
local legislative delegation posed as Un
friend of labor and some of them even
us the special laboring man's representa
tive. The experience of lalwr organiza
tions Is generally that the candidate for
olllce is much more solicitous for the
welfare of the laborer than the olllce
holder nnd that of the Central Labor
union Is no different from the others.
It is to be noted that Governor Ilol
comb either signed or vetoed every
bill that was presented lo him after
passing the two houses of the legisla
ture. The governor did not In any in
stance take advantage of the oppor
tunlty offered him by the constitution
to permit bills to become law without
his action.
