Now , according to the free trad organs , the high price of hoof is al 1 owing to the tariff on Imported meats ' Kvery doctor has his own dlagnosl and his own remedy. The object to be attained from publication of legal notices is to glv the widest publicity. This object ea not bo reached when such notices ar Inserted in readi'i'less sheets. If the otliucrs of the Whisky trust could only have boriowed money with ' ' the ease that the receiver is able to got it on the security of a court order the receivership might have been avoided ' nt the outset. It will apparently take lots of guess ing to light upon tile particular system by which the jury commissioners of the Hiinrome court fixed on the jurors for the coining trial of the case against ex- Treasurer Hill and his bondsmen. As the leaders of the Cuban Insur rection are excepted from the general offer of pardon they may be expected to exert themselves to keep up the fight as long as there is the slightest hope left. The trouble In Cuba is not yet entirely at an end. When Mayor ISemls declared that If the health department would do a little more business and keep out of politics the public service could lxs greatly Im proved he formulated a prescription which must provide a perfect antidote for the bacteria that Infests health olll- ccrs. ccrs.The The obstacles which the local com mittees Into whose hands the work nnf raising funds for state fair week festivities 1- 1n ties was placed are meeting will soon be overcome. With each succoiullng day the business outlook shows Improve ment. The restoration of confidence eIs but a matter of a few woeks. The report that certain Iowa lines have pooled Issues with Council Hluff.s Tss and Sioux City to contest Omaha's rights In the bridge arbitrary case Is worthy of serious consideration. The first thing to be done In the promises Is to convince Sioux City that It may bo to her Interest to keep hands off. Her ox Is not being barbecued. It may bo a trllle trlto , but yet not entirely out of place , to remind the city authorities that the wooden sidewalk nulsanco in front of the old Karnam Street theater still exists. The men re sponsible for this state of things ought to hoar the expressions passed by tht ' pedestrians who are compelled to eir counter this obstruction dally. More or loss oxeitomont may be ex pected at the Wlnnobago agency untl ! the Issue raised between the Intorloi tlopartmotit and the land lessees h\ ! > boon finally settled. Harnaclos fasten themselves upon every Indian agency and are not roadlly shaken off. The Bhlp may have to bo sailed Into fresl water before they can be killed off. TllK TIWUIibK ON THK The trouble on the Omaha and Win- nolmgo reservation appears to have arisen from a premature attempt of the rival parties claiming possession of the disputed land to settle their controversy on the spot before their respective claims have boon adjudicated by the courts. There1 has been an atmos phere of Intense unrest In the vi cinity of tho. reservation ever since the present agent has boon In charge. Previous to that time the white settlers and cattlemen seem to have had things pretty much their own way. They succeeded In making such bargains with the Indians as they chose and they secured the use of the Indians' land nt figures practically named by themselves. The new agent after Investigation came to the _ con clusion that the white settlers we're all Inlrudors on the reservation without color of right , and his policy has boon at least consistent In attempting to eject them from the premises. Tlie controversy , thon. Is one as to the legal right to the leasehold posses sion of the land employed for cultiva tion , or rather , whether the leases un der which the settlers hold are valid in point of law. A complication Is Injected by the existence of an Inter mediary company which has made the contracts with the Indians and has sub leased the land to the present occu pants. Should the contracts bo declared void the hardship to the latter would bo uiKiucstionnblo , although no amount of probable hardship could validate an agreement worthless In its Inception. The opposing claimants are , as wo understand It , already In court , and the trial and decision In the cases cannot bo very long deferred. To precipitate a resort to violence at the- present time therefore would only make matters worse , without the remotest prospect of bettering the situation of either Hide. The overx.ealous Indians and the per sistent settlers should contain them selves a little longer. If they will only possess themselves in patience matters will surely bo peaceably arranged so that justice Is meted out to all con cerned. AS TO THIS I'KAH'S PAVING. The fact that the city's Intersection paving fund is very nearly exhausted ought not to prevent Omaha from doing n fair amount of paving and repavlng during the present year. Owners oC property abutting on streets wlfleh need paving should not hesitate to sign peti tions because of this alleged obstruc tion. tion.The The city council cannot act In the matter of ordering street Improvements of this kind until it has received the petition required by the city charter to give It jurisdiction. Heretofore , for the past two years at any rate , peti tions huvo been so few that the. coun cil has found Itself unable to expend the money at its disposal In the Inter section paving fund. In order to pro vide some public work It undertook to have numerous single intersections paved without waiting for the property owners to request the pavement of the entire street or district. The result IK that there are various stretches of streets , a few blocks together , which can be paved without trenching on the intersection fund at all. These streets ought to be paved this year , and for this purpose-tile property owners should not delay the requisite petitions. Hut even on those streets where there are Intersections to bo paved there ought to bo no hesitation about sending in petitions. When the petitions are once in the hands of the council It will I be for the council to devise- means of complying with them. The Intersection paving fund Is not yet completely ex hausted. When it contains no more money arrangements can doubtless be made by which the contractors will carry the city's share of the expense until the fund Is again In a prosperous condition. AVe can not have paving without petitions. The petitions should be forthcoming before the season is much fiii'ther advanced. iXCOMR ItKTUUXS Treasury olllclals are disappointed with the income tax returns , which in dicate that the proceeds from the tax will fall over 50 per cent from the esti mate made by the department before the decision of the supreme court. The olllclals estimate that 10 per cent of the persons liable to the tax have not made any returns , and very likely this Is not far out of the way. Numerous Illustrations are given of the Inequality of the tax. In one of the most populous and wealthy districts of Pennsylvania , having a population of 7(51,000 ( In 1SOO , only 87I5 persons made returns of an Income exceeding $ 'ICOO each. That Is only about one for each 1)00 ) Inhabitants In the district , or If there has been the ordinary Increase in population In the district since 181)0 ) the proportion would ho one to 1,000. Hut all of these per sons whq made returns are not liable tea a tax , as a considerable number of them return that they have an Income exceeding ? : t,500 each , but not over $1,000. Taking this district as an aver age one for the country , excluding the largo cities , and assuming the popula tion of the United States to be liSO,000 ! ) : ! , as estimated by the Treasury depart ment March 1 , only ( JO.IIS ! ) persons will make returns of their Income nnd a largo proportion of these will not bo liable to any tax. There arc other equally or even more marked Illustra [ tions of the Inequality of the tax. All such facts will , of course , be brought to the attention of the next congress , when it Is proposed , as un doubtedly it will bo , to repeal the In- come tax provision of the tariff law , and they are very likely to make a strong Impression upon congress and the country. The demand for the tdo peil of the tax Is already heard , and there can bo no doubt that It will - ' gather volume as the time for the mootIng ' - Ing of congress draws near. There 'tis reason to believe thnt a great many who approved of the tax before the sti- > promo court decided that it could tint bo collected from Incomes from rents and from state , county and al bonds are now of the opinion that It would bo better to abandon it alto- gothor , and certainly there will bo oa great pressure to have this done on the part of those who are subject to the tax. In the meanwhile the supreme court will bo given another opportunity , probably with a full bench , to pass upon Its constitutionality , though a de cision from thnt tribunal on the new cases to bo presented Is hardly to bo expected before the meeting of con gress. It Is until that the effect on the na tional finances of the loss of one-half the estimated revenue from the Income tax Is regarded quite seriously by treas ury ofilclals , the more so because esti mates of revenue from other sources , notably sugar , arc not being sustained by results. With the deficit Increasing every day and the available balance de clining It Is easy to understand that the president and secretary of the treasury are not satisfied with the situation , even though there bo no reason for present solicitude. X Of MHXlfAN CATTM. Protests are pouring into the Agrleul- tural department against the action of the secretary In removing the quarantine - tine restrictions against Mexican cattle. The live stock Interest of ( lie southwest Is represented to be particularly Indig nant at the action of the department , one reason being the danger from Infec tion of Spanish fever , said to exist in the Mexican herds , nnd another reason , which is perhaps the stronger one with the prote.stants , that the sudden Influx of a large number of cattle from across the border will demorall/.e the cattle business. A Washington dispatch says that the live stock men having made their contracts and Investments based on their knowledge of the condition of the ranges and the supply , pome of them will be ruined if the order of the secre tary of agriculture has the Intended effect , but It Is stated that notwithstand ing the protests the secretary proposes to go ahead. There is to be an Immedi ate Increase of the force of Inspectors on the UIo Grande ami all herds will be admitted Avlilch do not show the exist ence of fever. According to n statement of the chief of tlie bureau of animal industry the action of the department was prompted by the desire to protect consumers. Ac cording to tills olllclal the action of the packers In raising the price of beef to such an extent has compelled the de partment to look after the Interests of the people. This will perhaps be very generally regarded as a commendable motive , but If as a result of admitting Mexican cattle American nerds become Infected with fever , which is a possibil ity to lie considered , the consequences will be very much more serious than the effects of a temporary prevalence of high prices for beef. It is not denied that an Infectious fever exists among Mexican cattle and the best that the chief of the bureau ji' animal Industry can say Is , "that the Mexican cattle seem to be in unusually good condition this year" not wholly free from fever , but not so generally nor so badly allllcted as formerly. This Is hardly reassuring , for however care ful the Inspection may he there is dan ger of the fever being brought over the border and disseminated among Ameri can herds. The development of disease , traceable to the admission of Mexican cattle , anywhere In tills country , could not fall to have a most damaging effect upon the cattle business. American cattle are now free from In fectious or contagions diseases , accord ing to repeated declarations of the Agri cultural department In denial of the charge of European governments. Is It not manifestly , then , very bad policy to take any risk of introducing disease among them ? It ought to be perfectly plain that the tendency of such a course must lie to make stronger the embargoes against American cattle abroad and to extend them. The Kngllsh market is still open to us , but when we shall have begun to admit Mexican cattle , it being known that fever exists among them , is It not highly probable that the Hrltlsb government will make the restrictions upon the importation of our cattle more rigid ? It Is very well to have a philan thropic concern for the welfare of con sumers , though this Is not understood to be a part of the duties of the secretary of agriculture , but in the exercise of this concern there needs to be good judg ment and sound discretion. It is to be apprehended that in the case under con sideration these qualities were not so potent with the secretary as the desire to appear as the foe of an assumed com bination , the existence of which he hoped to be able to establish. The jury In the case against an ex- congressman from Wyoming for salary wlthhoffl from his clerk came to the conclusion that the preparation of news paper Interviews and biographical sketches does not come within the range of the regular duties of a con gressman's clerk and gave a verdict ' for the value of those services. If the preparation of speeches. Interviews , puffs and biographies is not Included in this duties of the clerks which the country provides for its overworked congressmen , pray what are the duties1 of those functionaries ? Let us have another jury to decide what a congress man can ask of his clerk without renderIng - Ing himself liable to a suit to recover extra pay. A heavy verdict was found against the Philadelphia Times in a libel case. Colonel A. K. McClure denounced the court In open session and in the columns of his paper. IIo charged that justice had been perverted and that witnesses had been bribed. Yet we do not hear that the Judge ordered him arraigned for contempt , but on the contrary ex hibited stoical Indifference to the edi tor's excoriation. Had this incident occurred In the criminal division of the district court In and for Douglas county there would have boon word pyrotech nics , dramatic climaxes nnd a jail sen tence road to low music. We can't have exact crop reports any more than we can have exact weather forecasts. Hut by taking the. proper precautions wo can come pretty close to accuracy In both.

' - Chicago Record : The meaning of the wor "bimetallism" seems to depsnd entirely upo the person using It. Buffalo Express : The Express yesterday classed Senator Thurston of Nebraska as a sllverlto. It seems we did him an Injustice. An Int rvlew has Just boon published In which he says he Is opposed to the free coin age of silver , but he believes firmly In bimetallism. So that adds one more to the chances of getting an honsst bimetallic bill through the senate. Loulsvlllo Courier Journal : Of course Sena tor Stewart , the silver miner , Is one of the self-styled "blmetalllsts" who have written inters In hot haste replying to the president's letter to the Chicago business men. Senator Stewart , while offering In his epistle to ex plain so maby things , falls to vouchsafe why , If he believes that fre : coinage would bring about bimetallism , he makes his own con tracts payable expressly In gold. Denver Republican : The fact that the ac ceptance of terms ot pace between China and Japan strengthened the market for silver in London should show gold monomctalllsts how- easy a thing it is to affect the silver market favorably. The fact that China will have to pay an Indemnity of about $100,000,000 causes ; silver to rise. Unquestionably , | f the United States were to declare that It would coin all the sliver that might bo brought to its mints that dfclaratlon would lift the price of silver to the value determined by the coinage rate. Indianapolis Journal : If the so-called de monetization of silver In 1873 Is the cause of tha present low price of wheat , why Is. It that several times since 1S73 wheat has been nearly as high and once higher than It was then ? In 1S73 the highest price touched by wheat was $1.4G ; In 1S77 It sold for $1.70 , In 1879 for $1.33 , In 1SS1 for $1.43 , In 1882 for $1.40 and In 18SS for $2. Moreover , In 1873 there was not a dollar of silver In circula tion , whereas now there Is more than $500.- 000,000. In the light of these facts the asser tion that the present low price of wheat Is duo to the io-calld demonetization of silver In 1873 is rank nonsense. Chicago Tribune : One of the arch-enemies of honest money told a Minneapolis audience the other night that It Is a shame we hail to git gold from the Rothschilds In Europe. Why did he not tell them the truth that he and his fellow agitators are responsible for the fact ? If their Incendiary demands had not frightened foreigners with the Idea that we soon should be on a free silver basis , there would have ben no movement of gold from this country to Europe , except as part of the ever ebbing and flowing current of gold In payment of trade balances between different countries , the shipments of one particular period being made amends for by a movement In the reverse djr ftlon a few months later. It was the silver , cousjiirators anil no one else that started the panic of two yean ago. That was a money pahlg'pVeclpltated ' by fears that the demands of the'f fee sliver maniacs would bo acceded \vliil9i.tlie ; second panic which came along laten. was caused by apprehen sions of democratic 1 monkeying with the tariff. ui j - iTO TO A l'RttVrtHT.\G T.Ain' .

OTllBIt T.A.MIS TtlAff UtillS. The political ttrcsi between Norway anil Sweden , which Is al last upon the verge ot an apparent revolution against King Oecar , dates from twenty-two years ago. It was the Nor wegian poet and novelist , DJornstJerne lljorn- son , who started th ? agitation In 1S73 for the equal and co-onlltmlo position of the two countries under the union guaranteed by the constitution of 1811. ly ) his kindling elo quence ho aroused , the tremendous popular Indignation which swept the old ministry of Slang from power and caused the Impeach ment and condemnation of the Selmcr min istry. The new Slang ministry ro-cstabtlslied In 1S93 , however , the odious minority rule. Tli ? Dernadottos have been snapping their fingers at the Norsemen for nearly a quarter of a century , nnd It will not be a matter of wonder It thure sturdy democrats shall arise In their wrath and break the double crown In twain. The democracies of Norway and Sweden are as one. but democratic Nor way Is opposed to aristocratic Sweden , with her landed nobility nnd feudal traditions. Although of the same kin , these northtand brothers will never be good yokefellows. The sooner the twin harness Is snapped the bet tor. Oscar II Is but n duplicate of Charles X.V. Everywhere today the Norsemen are singing UJornson's national songs , "Yes , Wt . .ove Our Native Country , " and "I Will Guard Thee , My Land ! " * * * Madagascar has a population moro than louble that of Greece and would be a proud eather In the colonial cap of France If that country was nble fully to confirm Its prctcn slum over It. Hut that Is not at all likely , notwithstanding her great efforts and expen dlturcs. French claims to some sort of authority In the Isl.ind date back to the time of Richelieu nnd Anna of Austria , but they lave always bcn greater than the Islanders admitted and the present campaign against hem ts to fcecure their recognition and en forcement. Madagascar has a wise and sa gacious prime minister , Ralnllarlvony , who lias In one way and another been In the public sorvlc ? for fifty-three years , one of his duties being to marry the reigning queer nnd to hold himself In constant rcadlnes : to espous" one after another all her suc cessors. Qu-ens have ruled In the Island excerpt In the case of one short reign , thnl of Radama II , for sixty-six years , no sillc Interdict existing In their old or revlsei " ' 3 , the latter containing 305 'Statutes dal Ing from 1S7S , and forming a most rcspecta bb and adequate table of Jurisprudence. Tin reasons for the marriage of the queen am prime minister arc political. It being a locn convention that the former represents tin nobles and the latter tha people , and tha n proper balance of power Is thus preserve ! between them. Her present majesty wa educated in the London Missionary society's girls' tchool nnd Is now 33 years old. Sin dresses In European costume nnd her palace : are furnished in the European manner. Se In the circle of all the European queens am empresses It is asserted by local connolsssur of style that she would exhibit as royal t bearing as any of them , and she Is probablj behind few of them In natural ability , en llghtenment nnd accomplishments. Much at tentlon Is now drawn to her principality from far and near , nnd the sympathy of the i\ork outside of France Is with its native ruler rather than with Its Invaders. * * Senor Canovas lias hitherto been acknowl edged to be so completely the boss as wcl as the leader of th" conservative party In Spain that the secession of Senor Sllvela one of the most Influential of the conserve live members of the Cortes , nnd his avow a that he would not support the arbltrar > methods contemplated by the prime minis ter , must have produced considerable con sternatlou In Spanish military nnd ofllcla circles. That the present Cortes , in whlc the liberals largely prponderate , would rcfus to sanction the trial of the Journallstl critics of the nrmy by court martial , i would oppose other oppressive measures was to have been expected. But the brea in the conservative ranks will deprive th government of the easy resort to a dlssolu tlon of the Cortes and the election of new Chamber , since the ministry would nebo bo sure of support In Its reactionary policy oven If a majority of conservative member should be returned. Fcnor Canovas , how aver. Is not one cf those who easily sur render their purpose , nnd he will not stop a "rifled. Although this awkward , squat an ilileously ugly little man Is a son of th people ( his father having been a Malag > easant ) , he Is more of an ultra-conservatlv nan any Spanish grandee with a pedlgre reaching back to Alarlc the Goth. Iiuleed he hidalgos have become accustomed t regard him as an even more stalwart sup isrter of caste anil privilege and a stronge mlwark against democratic Ideas than th limy Itself. If the exigencies of reactlouar lolltlcs In Spain should require a suspcnslo of the constitution , and the practical estab Ishment of a dictatorship , the prime mln stcr , with his ungovernable temper and hi unmitigated contempt for his fellow-crer urea , would probably not hesitate a mnmen 'torn resorting to this extremity. Evident ! he disturbance In Cuba Is by no means th nest serious trouble that confronts th panlsh people. The Jews In Germany today fill the rank of the Intellectual as well as the flnancli iristocracy of the country ; they central th press , they are the best representatives o modern culture , nnd they are forcing the o ] Teutonic aristocracy to the wall. The con est against the advancing power of on own day by those who still remain In lo\ with feudal times must end In the victory o irogress and the complete overthrow of th iresent party , which supports the cmpero through thick and thin. . He runs grca risk of falling with his ardent supporter and his appeal to Bismarck Is In some ser a cry , "Help mo from my friends. " Thos who seek to suppress the Intelligent growl of public opinion are undermining the thron and the government. Personal freedom as necessary for an aristocratic as for n democratic government , and the empire will be safe only when It wins the support of the people , and thus gives them the power of being represented by those who really un derstand the needs of Germany , industrial , economical , agricultural , financial and social. The repicsslon of the best expression of German intellect must make It hostile to the government , and thus pave the way for a revolution that cannot bo kept within limits. The faithful adherents ot the Ger man system of government of today hope to maintain It by Ignoring public opinion and the Influence of German art. poetry , science nnd thought upon It , but the Ignorance of the ruling classes only Miarpens the growing Intelligence of the people and their danger ous thirst for knowledge. This Is the capi tal mistake of the German government , anil all the conflicting parties in opposition are Inspired by varying kinds and degrees of hostility to Its principles and methods. Once united , they wilt form a solid phalanx , supported by the people , which must attain power peacefully , ( If the governing class yields In time ; by revolution. If necessary and who can tell where that will end In Germany ? Mr. Glffen presented some statistics relat ing to Ireland to the royal commission ap pointed to consider questions connected with the financial relations between Ireland and Great Britain. The export trade was 2.r , - C7I.OOO and the Imports 20.051.000 In 1SD3 , a foreign trade somewhat larger than that of Canada and smaller than that of Aus tralia. Mr. Glffen went on to show that the resources of Ireland , were much less In pro portion to the population than England and that the high birth rate was not a factor of Importance. The emigration of able-bodlej men was greater than in other parts of the United Kingdom , and he said recently the emigration of women had exceeded that of men. In General Ireland was more strictly valued In reference to taxes than England. Agricultural wages In Ireland were as two to three as compared with England , and the net Income from agriculture was 40.000.000 per year , based on present prices. Mr. Glffen Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report wont on to sayt "The average at which ho would put the proportion of Ireland's resources wan one-twentieth , but It was really rather less. HP say no Increase of Irish wealth to overtake the enormous In crease ot wealth that was constantly going on In England. Ho thought any figure be subject to revision. The witness Icalt with i'io ' French Idea of taxation and ho views of Mr. Mill. He thought that the poorer community had the smaller surplus opacity , and comparing the surplus en- laclty of Ireland with thnt of England , he tould say the proportion would be 22.000.000 o 900,000.000 ; nml If they considered Ire- land's proportion to be one-tweiity-flfth hen they might reduce It still further to ine-thlrtlcth , or something like that , to make some nllownnco for the fact that Its n.xablo resources upon the same Income \-cre less In proportion to those of Great Irltnln. Some rough mode of calculation ot hat kind was all they could do. All ox- lemllture by the Imperial government ought o bo considered expenditure for Imperial purposes. " WH'.l l'lliss CUMMIiXT.
