Chicago papers arc busy hunting for the rc'tli'i-mlnK featured of the late Illinois luxlHlnturc , anil they have n tedious and almost hopeluss task before thorn. It Is whispered by reliable authorities that the chief regret of the Htate board Is that It has no more $50 n day peni tentiary appraisers' jobs to dole out to the faithful. All the recent cabinet possibilities arc Btlll available for the next cabinet va cancy , provided only that tlio vacancy occurs dm-lntf the presidential term of Sir. Cleveland. No , Larry Neal had quite enough when he ran for governor of Ohio against Major MeKlnley two years ago. Ono such experience lasts an ordinary man a lifetime. The most difficult thing for the dele gates to the Memphis free silver con vention to agree upon was the adjourn ment. It Is so sad for men who have drunk from the same canteen to sepa rate. An assay of the ore recently found In Oklahoma proves beyond a. doubt that the metal contained In It Is real gold. If this does not take Oklahoma out of the free silver coinage column we don't know what will. Chauncey Depew says he will be In Cleveland during the league conven tion , but ho won't make a public ad dress before the delegates. Chauneey 1ms changed his mind on more Im portant questions than this and more than once. If the roar of the lU-ltish lion will result In the effectual clearing out of Vic McCarty's "gang" In Sarpy county , something that the boasted constabulary of this great state has fulled to do , every cltl/.eu will send greetings to the queen and > call her truly great. A gubernatorial campaign In Iowa without the spice of a prohibition Issue would compel the old-timers to draw on their memories for compjnrlsoHs. Such a campaign , however , would lie none the less welcome on account of the omis sion of that customary feature. Dorgan is satlslled with the award of ? 3J-108.00 { made by the penitentiary ap praisers for his interest In the prison contract and the chattels used in con nection with it. What better evidence of tlie fairness and honesty of the ap praisement could the taxpayers ask ? Whoever the new university chancel lor may be the first thing lie ought to do is to put a stop to High school Instruction at the expense of the uni versity fund , whether under tlie name of "Preparatory Latin School" or "School of Industrial and Mechanic Arts. " The suggestion that one day be set aside for religious exercises at the state fair Is all right provided Sunday be chosen for that feature of the pro gram. There Is no reason , however , why a week day .should be devoted to religious observances when there is lit tle more than a week of the fair at best. Harry Miller Is not the first good man to bo criticised by The Omaha Bee. Mr. Millar's opinion Is , however , worth a groal deal moro among the democrats than Is the opinion of The Dee editor. World-Herald. No , and he will not be the last of thn kind. Sir Harry is merely disgruntled because Governor Holcomb saw tit to select Charles II. Drown as the demo cratic member of the police commission In place of Miller. Tlie opinion of a disgruntled place seeker can at best have but little weight anywhere ex cept among men allllcted wltli the same malady. The ultimate retirement of the street car homo in this city closes an epoch In the city's history. There arc thousands of citizens who remember tlie llrst horse car limn which started at the Union Pa- cltlc depot on N'lntli street and ended for a time at Fifteenth and Karnnm. Afterward it was extended out Fif teenth , Eighteenth , Twentieth and Twenty-fourth to what- was then the city limits. Tlie horse car has served Its day In Omaha as well us most other cities , but it will not be' forgot ten. To look back only n few years and recall the advancement made In the street car service the past ten years affords an easy means of noting the rapid strides made In boosting Omaha to the importance of a metropolitan tfty. STILL juiwixa o.v jn * The railroad republican organs Bill ) : outhuiR harping on the alleged turning .lovrn of Ilosowater by tliu executive * : ominlttce of the Slate League of lie- [ uibllcan Clubs. The Impression which these papers seek to convey Is that Ito.-iinvatL'r v as seeking appointment on the delegation to the Cleveland con tention and Ills ambition ( o go to Cleveland - land was frustrated. As. n matter of fact the editor of The Hoc was at uo time n candidate or applicant for the committee's favor. About two weeks before the meeting of the executive committee he was notified by members from Douglas county that lie had been chosen by them to represent the local republican clubs as delegate to the convention at Cleve land. Asked whether he would accept nnd attend , lie stated that he had paid 11 visit to Cleveland only six weeks previous , but if his presence was deemed of Importance in vlo\v of the possible discussion of the silver ques tion ho would endeavor to attend. It was represented then and there that the executive committee had decided not to call a state league convention , but that Instead the choice of each district would be ratified by the executive com mittee simply as a matter of formality when tlie six delegates-at-largc to which each state was entitled were named by it. The program was carried out as to all tlie district delegates except ing Douglas county. The objection to Kosowater was raised by Smith , a dis appointed applicant for employment on the editorial staff of The 15ee , and supplemented by Thomas .J. Majors of contingent notoriety. The action of the majority of the committee Is of no moment whatever to The Hee or Its editor except so far as It tends to misrepresent party senti ment It was a questionable honor to bo endorsed by the political nonde scripts who constituted themselves ah active majority of tlie com mittee which by rights had no more Authority to name dele gates for tills district than the state central committee would have to name the delegates for this district to the national republican convention. The whole business was Irregular and dis creditable to put it mildly. When It comes to speaking for true republican ism and voicing the sentiment of honest republicans In or out of i conven tions the editor of The Bee needs no credentials from self-constituted brass- collar shysters and political powder- monkeys. A COl'l'KllMiSK CALLKD Just before the outbreak of the war an attempt was made by border state straddlers to patch up a compromise that would stave off the Irrepressible conflict. The prime mover was Senator John J. Critteu- den of Kentucky. Whllo the whole country was eagerly watching for the results of tlie peace conference and the rejection or adoption of the Crittenden compromise one of Nast's Inimitable cartoons appeared in Harper's Weekly representing two gentlemen of very black color In an earnest controversy. "What do you think ob do sltera- sliuii ? " asks the one. "Tears to me , " responds the other , "dar's heaps ob trouble ahead unless doy 'dopt de cop- permlse. " " 1'so for do coppennlsc at any cost , " Is the rejoinder. This cartoon Is forcibly recalled by the lusty clamor of the hoodoo organ for a democratic conference , where the fel lows who carry knives in their boot legs may 'dopt a coppermlse that will last until the hostilities reopen next spring. By all means let that confer ence be called. Let the Kilkenny cats hug each other in fond embrace and agree once more to drive the republi cans all Into line and prove be yond a doubt that democrats are ready at all times to forsake principles for lleshpots. Let the conference decide which of the factious are to manage the campaign and to which will be as signed the ungrateful task of holding tlie sack In the great snipe hunt of 1893. Incidentally let us remind the men who are shouting for a confer ence that In the Irrepressible conillct this fall they will not muster a cor poral's guard for any democratic ticket , straight , split , Mortonlzod , Bryanl/.ed or coppermlsed. The people of Omaha want no city government that owes its existence to the machine. If the Issue Is forced between the democratic ma- chlnn and the republican machine the democratic machine will be smashed to smithereens. Any schoolboy can figure this out In advance. nKCKIPTS DO KOT IMl'llOVrl. The failure of the present tariff law as a revenue measure receives daily demonstration. Although importations are on a liberal scale tlie receipts of tlie treasury do not materially improve and the expenditures of tlie govern ment continue in excess of the revenue. The monthly demands upon the treasury average about $ . ' ! 0,000,000 , while since the present tariff went Into effect the. monthly receipts hav l but little exceeded $ : > .r > , - 000,000. The statement of the treasury condition published yesterday placed the present deficit at a little over $18- 000,000 , and It will be at about this llguro when the fiscal your closes , June UO. All the estimates of Secretary Car lisle and other treasury olllcluls have iH-on wide of the mark , whllo the pre dictions of the supporters In congress of the present tariff have been utterly discredited by results. What Is the outlook for the fiscal year that will begin July 1 ? Tlie im proving business conditions warrants the expectation that tlie receipts from both customs and Internal revenue will be somewhat Increased , but it Is doubt ful whether they will grow sulllclently to balance expenditures. In order to do this the increase must ho nt the rate of $0,000,000 a month and It is not likely this will bo realized. It Is pos sible that tlio autumn lmi > ortatons ! will raise the receipts from customs a million or two per month and some Improvement In the Internal revenue receipts is reasonably expected , but tlio chances are exceed ingly good for a continued monthly de ficit until tlie next congress can make some provision for new revenue. Washington dispatches say that thcro Is nothing In the present situation of the treasury to Justify any fear of. Its' embarrassment for many months to come ; that even If the deficit runs at the rate of1,000,000 per month It will take many months to reduce tlie balance now on the books , stated to be ? 18I- 000,000. This Is true , but none the less I situation Is an undesirable one nnd It Is well that tlio people should under stand Just whore the responsibility for It rests and should be made to realize how fortunate It Is that the tariff bill framed by Mr. Wilson , In accordance with the views of Mr. Cleveland , did not become law. If that measure had loen ) enacted the treasury would now bo Insolvent or the public debt would bo considerably larger than It Is. The most Important duty of the next con gress will be to make provision for more revenue. A CIVIL SMiriW KXIKKS10X. On July 1 the government printing ofllcc at Washington will bo put under the civil service rules and regulations , thus taking away from the spoilsmen the only branch of the government at the national capital In which they have been able of late to 1iave their own way. The government printing olllce , with Its nearly 11,000 employes , has been used by congressmen as n place where they could give favors to some of their constituents at the ex pense of the public treasury. The pay In this olllco is comparatively large and the working day Is eight hours , and there Is a month leave of absence with pay. A place In the government printIng - Ing olllce Is therefore very desirable as compared with any private establish ment , a fact shown by the statement that the public printer now has 45,000 applications on file for work In the olllce. Congressmen from all parts of the country are represented In this branch of the government service , but a large majority of the appointments to places have always been controlled by the .senators . and representatives living near Washington. After July 1 all places will be filled by competitive examinations. With the going Into effect of this or der the whole number of employes of the government subject to civil service rules and regulations will bo not far from 00,000. To state those figures is to Indicate the great progress which the reform 1ms made , and what Is es pecially gratifying is the fact that the wisdom of Instituting it has been most fully justified by results. It cannot fairly be questioned that the govern ment has a better civil service now than ever before and it ought to continue to improve , because the system not only invites those of superior qualifica tions to enter the public service , but the protection It gives to such ns obtain employment nnd the opportunity for advancement It affords are an incentive to industry , application and fidelity In the perform ance of duty. The demonstrated value of the reform In the civil service of the gonei'al government Insures It larger application in tlie course of time and the ultimate extension of the principle to all subordinate state and municipal em ployes. _ _ _ _ _ A'KTI' n'ATKll 'AYS. The facilities of transportation be tween the west and the seaboard have been Increased by the opening of two now waterways. Yesterday the Harlem ship canal , which has just boon com pleted , was formally opened with ap propriate ceremonies , In which a num ber of men prominent in public affairs participated. This canal connects the Hudson river with the Kast river by a navigable waterway , through which the great tralllc of tlie Hudson designed for the Now England states can now be carried into the sound and Its trans portation materially expedited. Al though tlie canal proper is less than a mile In length Its value to commerce will be very great. The other new waterway , and so far as the Interests of the northwest are concerned the more Important one , is tlio Canadian Sault Ste. Marie canal , formally opened last week. The com pletion of this canal , which was under construction for several years and upon which n largo sum of money was ex pended by the Canadian government , furnishes another navigable pathway connecting the waters of Lakes Superlot and Huron , the other being that owned by this government. With this new waterway Canada becomes Inde pendent of the United States foi facilities of passage between the two lakes and it was chiefly for this pur pose Unit the Canadian government undertook the enterprise. Controversies had arisen between that govern ment and this growing out of the reciprocal use of the artificial water ways of each as provided in the treaty of Washington , and while the project of a Canadian canal to connect Lakes Superior and Huron did not spring from this the dllllcultles between the governments had much to do wltli hastening the completion of the work , There Is , however , a commercial do- maud for such a waterway In the great expansion of the lake tralllc , so that tin now canal will have ample business tc begin with and It Is certain to grow from year to year. Indeed , tills ad ditional outlet for the products of the northwest Is reasonably expected to still further stimulate the already marvelous movement of tratlic over the great lakes. Few people have any con ception of the extent of this traffic , but sonic idea may bo formed of it from tlie statement that the shipments through the American "Soo" canal last year exceeded 1:1,000,000 : tons , and ne showing the great growth of this tralllc It will be interesting to note that in 1881 the shipments through the caua amounted to only 1,500,000 tons. It Is presumed to be the Intention ol tlie Canadian government not to allow citizens of the United States to use the new canal , but this will not prevent the shipment of American products by that route If more favorable terms ol transportation are offered , and In order to obtain business Canadian vessel owners may be expected to. sharply compete In the matter of rates. Doubt less the completion of the Canadian canal will stimulate Interest In the question of an American ship canal around Niagara Falls and also In othei projects for increasing and Improving the facilities of transportation bj water. Every sfcp forward of this kind s of tlio greatest Interest to tlio pro ducers of the northwest and there is no danger that such Huprovcments will outrun the ditfclopmcnt of this region. Whatever dHutic there may be ns to the merits or tlm teachers' training school , this much Is clear as day : The school board has not enough money In , ts treasury to pay the outstanding teachers' warftnft and the prospect Is good for rumiiifc Jrchlnd $110,000 or more all the cjjjitng { year. It Is Impera tive that all educational side shows be cut off at onuo. Jven If 1 the training school was n goon thing last year nnd promises to Jn > , a good thing next year , the taxpayers 'can not afford the .nxury this year. The school board should stop trilling with the people's money. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ One of Senator Elklns' presidential loomers ) has discovered- among other things that the West Virginia senator will go into the republican national convention not only with the votes of the mining states solid on the llrst bal lot , but also with a strong following In Kansas , Nebraska and the Dakotas.

Thn Cup Slinuf of Folly. Louisville CVmrler-Journnl. In 1S34 the United States deliberately changed from a silver standard to a gold standard. Most of the leading nations of civilization have at some time charged from a t'llver standard to a gold standard But there Is not a nation on the glebe tli t ever changed from a gold standard to a silver stanJard on accoilnt of the decline of silver.

As the time approaches for the selection of delegates to the state convention and who will have the responsibility of assisting In the selection of a governor , not for them selves alone , but for all the people of Iowa , and as the friends of each candidate are urging wltfli great persistence every advan tage for their man and are very prone to be- Ilttlo the merits of the opposing candidates , let us take a calm view of the situation that wo may decide with Judgment. There seems to be a disposition on the part of some of the papers of the state who are In favor of Gen eral Drake to magnify everything In his favor and belittle the merits of other candidates. Every paper of course has the right to sup port the candidate of their ctiiolce with all their force , but should , when they have any thing to say of another candidate , give them due credit. Without any regard as to what any paper may say farther than the facts regarding the history of any candidate , the people who se lect the delegates and Uio delegates them selves , should take Into consideration the surroundings and personal connections of each candidate and determine from that who Is the best man to Intrusl with the power and duties of the governor's ofllco. There Is no man In Iowa that wo have greater personal respect for than General Drake ; wo admire his military and business record , his philanthropy and high personal character , but the people of Iowa have an other matter to take Into consideration in selecting a governor , and that Is the fact that General Drake Is essentially a railroad man , and , as we understand It , Is the president of the I. I. & I. Kallroad company and that the governor In his position as president of execu. tlvo council and board of tax commissioners has a great Influence In determining the tax able valuation of railroad property and should bo a man entirely free of bias , and especially should ho bo a man entirely free of railroad Interests personally. Wo do not believe that our people have any desire to discriminate against railroads or any other legitimate In dustry or interest , but have a disposition to treat them fairly , ' at , the same time , there are In the minds of many people serious ob jections to placing' railroad president In the governor's chair.General Drake should re ceive due credit for Ills business enterprise In becoming the { no > sessor of large railroad Interests and for tlfe good he has done Iowa in building and operating his road , but Is It a wlso thing to make a man whose private In terests In railroads ale so largo and whose business Intercut * ufe so Intimately con nected with matters/which could possibly come Into opposltlon\vlth tfie Interests of Uie people , goVeinor of" Iowa , especially when there Is no necessity for It. In view of the number of candidates In the field who are free from euch surroundings ? The people are Jealous of their rlglits and It Is right that they should be , and while they have no apposition to discriminate against any one ot any business , they do not like to be placed ln-a position where their In terests may be Jeopardized when there Is no necessity for It. and we have as good a list of men to select from aa we have tlila year. ATTACKED A DISTILLERY Twenty-Plro or Thirty Shots Tired but no Quo Harmed , BEATEN OFF BY UNITED STATES MARSHALS Orlclnnl Orrnors of the HhufoliU lllntlllory nt Chicago Mnltn n Midnight At tempt to Ilccnvcr Thrlr 1'rop- erly. but Are CHICAGO , Juno 17. The anticipated at tack on tlio Shufoldt distillery , ono of tlio planta of ttio Whisky trust , occurrcil at 1 o'clock this morning \vhon an armed party of a dozen men attempted to take pos session of tlio distillery. The attacking party was met by the deputy marshals who had been placed on guard by Ilecolver Me- Nulta of tlio trust , and after a harmless exchange of twenty-five or thirty shots the men retreated. Trouble has been expected at the trust's distilleries slnco the recent decision of the Illinois supreme court declaring the Whisky trust Illegal. Several of the former owners of the various distilleries de clared that under the decision the plants reverted to those from whom the purchases were made. Receiver McNulta promptly applied 'to the United Slates marshal for assistance and for several days each of the distilleries has been closely guarded by armed deputy United States marshals. The Shufeldt plant , whore last night's trouble occurred , Is located at Chicago avenue and the river. The attacking party secured a largo scow and when flrst seen by the guards was gliding silently down the river. The deputy marshals wore quietly bunched at the landing and when the scow nearcd the shore the men aboard wore commanded to surrender. They replied with a volley of revolver shots ami the deputies promptly opened llro. Under the hot volley the men quickly dropped down the river and reaching a landing disappeared. FOHC13 OP DEPUTIES DOUBLED. The force of deputies at the plant was doubled In anticipation of further trouble. Who Is responsible tor the attack the authorities refuse to say. The Shufeldt distillery was sold to the Whisky trust by the millionaire Lynch family. One of the Lyncha , Thomas Lynch , Jr. , had been reported to have declared his Inten tion of regaining possession of the distillery and his name was frequently mentioned to day In connection with last night's raid. The officials of the trust and the govern ment authorities , however , refused to dis cuss the possible connection of Mr. Lynch with the affair. That serious trouble at the Shufeldt or Calumet distilleries Is feared by the authorities Is evident from thn warlike preparations made during the day. lie- cclvcr McNulta had arranged , It was said , for Immediate help from the United States troops at Kort Sheridan In case of need , and a large force of deputies has been placed on guard. It was stated at the receiver's ofllco that the troops "St Fort Sheridan were practlcallly under orders to move at any time , but this Information could not be con firmed nt army headquarters. The fear expressed by the authorities Is that In the event of a determined attack on cither of the distilleries serious trouble will be caused by the spectators , many of whom arc likely to Join In the attack. The possibility of a mob turned loose on a well stocked distillery Is not a pleasant ono to the authorities and the police as well as the government officers have been on the alert all day. POSTPONED UNTIL TOMORROW. At the request of Attorney Walker the Whisky trust proceedings In Judge Showal- ter's court today were postponed until to morrow. The attorneys for the reorganiza tion committee. Judc ? Mcran and Levy Meyer , asked that a date be set for the hear ing ofa petition for the Judicial sale of the property. Attorney Uuckley In behalf of Cincinnati lessees said that he would ask that Judge Taft of the Southern district of Ohio sit with Judge Showalter whllo the petition was being heard , for the reason that an auxiliary bill would come up to Judge Taft's court. The 'dea ' of another Judge aiming Into' the case was not relished by Mr. Meyer , who suggested Mr. Uuckley's client could wait until the auxiliary bill came up , This , however , Mr. Duckley eald he wished to avoid and would enter his client's appear ance. The petition for a sale will bo taken up tomorrow after the Central Trust com pany's bill Is out of the way. 1'OVK I.KO At < l ) TllK C.IIIDISAL. Ilotalla of tlio Interview Iletircoii the Two Kinlnnnt Ciitliollm. BALTIMORE , June 17. The Baltimore Sun's Homo correspondent sends this ac count of the meeting between Pope Leo and Cardinal Gibbons upon the letter's arrival at Rome : "It was a long and very delight ful audience , as the cardinal familiarly expressed - pressed It. The pontiff spoke In warm terms of the Catholic university at Wash ington , regarding It as ono of the greatest necessities of the day. He feels much sat isfaction at the progress It has already made , augurs from It a grand and bene ficial future , and considers It an effective means by which the higher learning and science may be spread abroad. "The pope manifested , to the cardinal the greatest Interest he feels In the republic of the United States , the future grand destinies of which no man can predict. Ho has the highest opinion of the upright and Just Intentions of its people , and that without regard to the religious faith that they may profess. He admitted tlio presence and ac tion and Influence of a strong religious and moral basis of conduct as guides his motives among the people of the United States. Re ligion and morality , ho said , were respected thcro , and It would bo well with the nation whoso people bad these as the foundation of tholr lives. "The cardinal confirmed this Idea by relat ing to the pope that the president of the United States never Issued an Important proclamation to the people without Invoking the blessing of God on the nation which ho addressed. "This showed how the nation , as a whole , whatsoever religious differences may exist between many of Its people , Is ono In ac knowledging the existence and the authority of God. Sunday , continued the cardinal , Is observed much better and with more devo tion In the United States than even In Italy , and he added candidates In the United States would not all succeed In obtaining the suffrages of the people If they proclaimed as they do here , or even If It were known , that such candidates were atheists. "The health of the cardinal , so far as one may Judge , has Improved since his arrival here , and he acknowledges that ho Is very vfoll. Slnco his arlrval the American col lege In the Via Dell Umelta , where he re sides , has been constantly visited by call ers on the cardinal. The largo parlor , so well known to the great majority of Amer ican visitors to Rome for almost all of them found their way to It Is now occu pied with groups of ecclesiastics of many nations and members of the laity Italian , French , Englishmen and Americans.

Buffalo Express : This decision must have a widely felt effect. The principle upon wjilcli It Is based Is exceedingly broad. If applied to other trusts thcro Is not ono that would not bo broken up , nut It Is not at all probable that such drastic steps will betaken taken against others. It Is the wrecking propensity , the gambling transactions , tl.e general rascality of the managers of the \Vhlsky trust which have called down the Imnd of the law In this definitive manner. Chicago Tribune : The ( las trust decision of the Bupreino court deprived It of Its char ter and stopped the speculation In Us cer tificates in Walt street , but It did not lower the price of gas nor did It destroy the unity ot Interest of the owners of the stocks of the different companies. It Is yet to be seen whether the decision In the whisky trust case will Induce the persons who may control finally the distilleries which wcro In the trust to glvo up the Idea of combining or whether they will elmply combine under some nu\v name. .fEJIKASK.l'3 I'NKVSIATW TllllC.

Ex-Qovernor Peck of Wisconsin threatens to go on the lecture platform next fall. Mr. Peck Is a humorist out ot a job. As a precautionary measure Governor Mor ton wears a cabbage leaf In his hat when abroad. It Is not Intended as a prevcntatlve of favorite son strokes. At the sale ot the archives ot the Heraldic college of Franco In Paris 40,000 genealogical trees and 400,000 original documents relating to pedigrees were disposed of. Otto Gresham , son of the late secretary of state , declined an olllce which the president offered , being desirous ot attending to his law business. Mr. Gresham Is level-headed. Tan-colored shoes and gaudy "neckties do not accord with the dignity of the navy , thinks Commodorq Slcard. Ho has , there fore , prohibited the wearing of thei-a styles of attire among the olllcers of the Brooklyn navy yard on duty. Mr. Cleveland Is reported to have said on being told that Jndson Harmon , whom ho had appointed attorney general , was a good man weighing 223 pounds : "I am glad of that. After exchanging Dlsscll'd 275 pounds for Wllron's 125 wo had to do something to add weight to the administration. " The Illllnols legislature spoiled a fairly creditable record by Indulging In n hilarious free fight before final adjournment. Con siderable plugging was had during the ses sion , but It wasn't a marker to the Indiana knock-down and drag-out at the close. Sev eral members bit off more ears than they could mastlcato. Mr. W. A. Clarke of Butte , Mont. , resents the suggestion that ho wants to tall the democratic presidential kite. With any other man than Cleveland he might be Induced to make the run. Just why Mr. Clarke's name should be connected with a national odlco does not appear. Perhaps the party wants a composlto ticket with a gold head nnd a silver tall. In that event the Butte hero of countless de'cats would lend considerable gayety to the funeral arrangements. Imltftnnpolti Journal.
