TJtt : mrrKn HMVU IN KNXTUCKI\
A very general Interest Is felt regardIng -
Ing the outcome of the contest within
the democratic party of Kentucky over
the silver Issue. The slate democratic
convention will meet next Tuesday
and there Is certain to be a very bitter
and probably a prolonged fight be
tween Jhc sound money element and
the advocates of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver by the United States
at the ratio of 1(5 ( to 1. What the result
of the contest will be Is problematic ,
but the Indications are that the conven
tion will be controlled by the advocates
of aound money and that .Senator
lUackburii will be defeated In his can
didacy for re-election. It now seems ,
from the most trustworthy advices ,
that Instead of the adoption of a free
silver platform by the Kentucky demo
crats there will be a reassertlon of the
democratic national platform of 1802
and an endorsement of the administra
tion. If this shall be the result it will
be due very largely lo the efforts of
Secretary Carlisle , ably seconded by
Mr. Henry \Vatterson and the other
champions in Kentucky ot a sound
currency. Mr. Wattcrson has made a
vigorous light in the Louisville Courier-
Journal against free silver , plainly
warning the democrats that If their
state convention committed the party
to that policy It would be In great dan
ger of Hosing the election. The busi
ness interest Is almost solidly arrayed
In opposition to free silver , Mid this , of
course , exerts a powerful influence ,
while the action of the republican con
vention In unequivocally declaring
against free silver and planting that
party squarely upon a sound money
platform has a.so ! had a great effect in
changing sentiment In the state.
It Is said that leading democrats of
Kentucky , while pleased with the unex
pected outlook regarding the silver
issue , are still apprehensive as to the
result of the fall election. They regard
It as quite possible that the republi
cans may win in November , when for
the first tlmo Kentucky will vote under
the Australian ballot system. A\'lth
the viva voce system of voting super
seded by the secret ballot system , the
democrats are apprehensive that thou
sands of business men who have here
tofore voted the democratic ticket will
quietly cast their ballots for the party
which Is unqualifiedly committed In
favor of sound money. On the other
hand It Is said by some of the free
sliver advocates that should the demo
cratic convention refuse to declare for
free coinage many free silver demo
crats will vote with the republicans
from motives of revenge against the
dominant faction of the democratic
party. It thus seems probable that In
any event the republicans will draw
from the democrats , so thsjt there Is
reason for regarding the outlook for
the success of the republican state
ticket In Kentucky this year as unu
sually good.
If the Kentucky democratic conven
tion declares against the free coinage
of silver It will be the hardest blow to
that cause It has yet received , for no
where jelse Is free sliver being more
vigorously and aggressively cham
pioned. Senator Blackburn has staked
his political fortunes upon this issue , as
have u number of the other democratic
leaders in the state. A declaration of
Kentucky democrats against free silver
would do much toward reducing the
agitation in behalf of that policy.
SKKK1XG IMMiail.l TION.
The state of Wisconsin Is endeavorIng -
Ing to Increase Its population and dis
pose of its unoccupied and un
improved lands by Inducing Ku-
ropean Immigrants to go to that
commonwealth. The governor of the
state and the secretary of the state Im
migration commission are in New York
for this purpose. Wisconsin has an im
migration bureau , the object of which
Is to secure settlers for the thinly set
tled portions of the state , and In that
way to add revenue to the taxable
property. The legislature made an ap
propriation for the purpose of making
known the opportunities that exist In
the state for settlers and this Is now
being done. It Is stated that there are
in Wisconsin about 23,000,000 acres
available for settlement.
In an interview the governor of Wis
consin stated that his Investigation of
the character of the immigrants now
coming Into the country had been per
fectly satisfactory. lie found that for
the most part the people now coming
to our shores are a very desirable class ,
whoso accession would be advantageous
to any community. Quite generally the
people who are emigrating from the
old world are of the Industrious and
thrifty classes , who come hero with c
view to making permanent homes and
assimilating themselves as citizens of
the republic. Under the strict enforce
ment of the Immigration laws which
has been maintained for several years
this country Is now receiving a better
and more desirable class of Immigrants
than came here during the period when
these laws were loosely administered.
Not oirly has the enforcement of the
laws had the effect to greatly reduce
Immigration , but it has made a great
Improvement In the character of the
people who como here from the old
world , and consequently there Is now
little ground for complaint regarding
Immigration. The testimony of the
governor of Wisconsin agrees with that
of everybody who has investigated the
matter.
There Is not a state of the northwest
which does not offer excellent opportu
nities for Immigrants from Knropo who
are seeking homes In this country aiul
who have the qualities to make good
citizens of the republic. There are
many millions of acres of good laud In
this section which the well trained
farmers of the old world could make
profitably productive and much of this
can be had at-no great cost. The west ,
giving the broadest scope to that sec
tional distinction , wants more people ,
and no greater mistake could be made
than to assume that its' opportunities
are exhausted. Industry , practical busi
ness ability nnd thrift will still find In
lids section chances for as great finan
cial success as at any tlmo In the past ,
and the time Is far In the future when
this will not be the case. Those people
who are endeavoring to create popular
sentiment against Immigration nnd who
are proposing restrictions that would
practically close our ports to the people
of Kiiropo who desire to better their
condition by coming to the United
States are not familiar with the west
ern portion of the country or are In
different to Its needs and Its opportuni
ties.

The Cleveland convention of repub
lican ( flubs Is affording nn opportunity
for llnanclal quacks to advertise their
Ignorance ot ordinary economic laws.
Mr. Frank Grcer of Oklahoma de
mands In the name of the aborigines
that Inhabit that lire-brush territory
that all the United States mints shall
bo opened to the free and unlimited
coinage of the American silver product
with a prohibitive tariff on the foreign
product modified by financial reciprocity
laws. Before the demand of the Oklahomans -
homans is put In force It will be well
for Mr. Greer to Invent a reciprocity
restralner that will prevent Mexican
silver from drifting into the United
States and American silver from fusing
with Mexican silver when It gets Into
a melting pot.
Of all the arrant humbugs that have
been suggested for tlio solution of the
silver problem the scheme to confine
free coinage to the product of Ameri
can mines Is the most Impracticable
and transparent. If America can pull
her own silver product up to a parity
with gold at li ( to 1 when the commer
cial ratio Is "i ! to 1 she can float all
the silver of the world on the same
basis. All the tariff laws that congress
could enact In ten years would not
keep out foreign bullion if the owners
could double their money by smug
gling It Into this country.
FASTAXD LUOSK MKTHODS.
The disclosures of deficits , overdrafts
and Irregularities which have been
made since the Inquiry Into the condi
tion of the city treasury was begun
show a most reckless disregard of busi
ness methods , not merely on the part of
Treasurer BoCln , but also by the comp
troller , who Is relied upon as the chief
municipal accountant. While the
comptroller does not actually handle
the public funds , It Is made his duty
by the charter and the ordinances to
keep an accurate record of all drafts
on the treasury and to examine , com
pare and balance the treasurer's ac
counts not less frequently than once
each month , and oftener whenever It
may be deemed necessary. The char
ter expressly prohibits the payment of
any money out of the treasury on ac
count of the city except upon warrants
countersigned by the comptroller.
Why were these safeguards against
misappropriation of public moneys
withdrawn ? And why did the comp
troller sanction the paying out of city
funds without warrant and In bold de
fiance of the law ? The treasurer had
a right to loan his own money to his
friends or to speculate with his own
money If he saw fit. But he could
not legally pay out a dollar of the pub
lic funds without an appropriation by
the council and a warrant drawn and
countersigned by the comptroller.
It is now established beyond a doubt
that checks signed by Mr. Bolln as
city treasurer were given to contrac
tors before any appropriation had boon
made or warrant issued. It Is estab
lished beyond a doubt that municipal
employes and others who had not even
a prospective claim against the city
were given money out of the treas
urer's drawer on memoranda to the
amount of $15,000 to $20,000. Could
such sums have been diverted from the
treasury If there had been reasonable
diligence exercised by the comptroller's
department ? It is represented that
this fast and loose way of doing busi
ness has been in vogue for many years.
That only shows that nothing less than
a thorough overhauling of all the de
partments In which money Is handled
Is imperatively necessary. If the
deficits and memoranda slips have been
inherited from a former term of the
present treasurer or from former olll-
clals the responsibility should bo lo
cated where It belongs. One thing Is
certain. The business of the city must
be conducted on business methods
henceforth and * an cud made to the
slipshod ways that have been tolerated
heretofore.
The prosperity of the country In the
Immediate future will be very greatly
promoted by a good corn crop this
year and the present indications give
favorable promise that we shall have
a large yield of this cereal. In 1880 ,
the big crop year , the yield was over
2,112,000,000 bushels , produced from
an area of a little more than 78,000,000
acres. In 1891 , another big year , the
corn area was over 70,000,000 acres and
the crop sllghty above 2,000,000,000
bushels. It is thought that the acreage
this year will be fully as large as four
years ago and the prevailing conditions
warrant the expectation that the pro
duction will bo quite as great ns In
1S)1 ! ) , and possibly larger. A realiza
tion of this promise would do more
than perhaps any oilier one thing to
insure a return of general prosperity
and to contribute to the benefit of all
classes of the population.
The decision of the supreme court In
the Hay case that the governor has the
right to remove appointed state offi
cers for cause will have more than one
good result If It puts the olllcers of all
the state institutions on their mettle.
Officials who know that the power of
removal exists In the governor and may
be exercised on the first sign of neglect
of duty will be quite likely to attend
strictly to business In the future.
Those that do not will know that they
run the risk of the consequences.

WASHINGTON , Juno 20. ( Special. ) The
Indian ofllce Is at present conducting an ex
periment In sinking artesian wells on In
dian reservations In South Dakota. The
ofllc Intends to make a now departure In
digging these wells. In the construction ot
the well at Pierre the work was done by con
tract" , but hereafter It will bo under the
direction and supervision o ! the regular
agents ot the Indian office.
The proposed'artesian wells on the Hose-
bud , Pine Hidga and Standing Hock reserva
tions were provided for In special legislation
by the last congress. It had been expected
that It would be possible to commence work
some tlmo ago , but unexpected delay has
been caused by the tardy delivery of
special machinery. The Indian office pur
chased the appliances In Plttsburg , and Is
Informed that the machinery Is now being
delivered at the reservation. The result of
the work will be watched with a great deal
of Interest by the officials of the Indian
ofllce , bscause upon Its success or failure
will largely depend the prospects ot the
future supply of water for those Indian
reservations. This work Is simply an experi
ment with the department. The cost cannot
bo calculated now because It Is not certain
to what depth the wells must reach.
The geological survey Is also paying con
siderable attention to this experiment on
the part of the Indian office , and It Is prob
able that that bureau will have a spsclal
agent to watch developments and make an
official report.
The work on the Ilosebud agency will be
umler the supervision of Agent J. George

charge of the work at the Standing Rock

HOUSE MEAT AS FOOD.
The recent report of United States Consul
Edward W. S. Tingle , at Brunswick , Ger
many , In which the writer spoke of the
bright prospecjs for trade In American horse
meat In Germany , evidently struck a popular
chord In the hearts of the stockmen ot our
country , for , according to the latest report
Just received at the State department from
Consul Tingle , he has be n the recipient of
a large number of requests for detailed In
formation from Americans who seem anxious
to know more about this Important sub
ject.He
He says that Inquiries have'been so numer
ous that he deemed It wise to submit an
additional report which might be of service
to Intending exporters.
He says : "In the first place , It Is the
opinion of the writer that the business can
bsst be handled through the large American
packing houses , which can afford the ex
penditure for the necessary plant , and which ,
by shipping In largo quantities , can more
easily build up a profitable trade. These
packers would naturally buy from the smaller
western dealers and raisers and thus the
business would bo vastly simplified. It
would be well , therefore , for Intending ex
porters to enter first Into correspondence with
some one of the large packing houses , ex
pressing readiness to furnish horses for
export and suggesting co-operation. "
SHIP ON THE HOOF.
Consul Tingle says It would be much bet
ter to ship the horses on the hoof , consigning
them to a large port like Hamburg. Here ,
however , large stables would have to be fur
nished until the horses could be sold or
slaughtered. This , ot course , would be be
yond the means of any but a large company.
The reason of shipping on the hoof Is that
the duty on live horses Is but 1.75 each ,
while If the meat alone Is shipped some ob
jection similar to that now made against
American beef might be brought forward.
If , however , the horses were brought over
on the hoof , not only is the duty much less ,
but examination showing the healthy condi
tion of the animals can be made readily.
Tljp meat Is sold In Germany at 7 cents a
pound for fresh meat and 12 cents a pound
for smoked meat. The German horse butcher
pays for a horse about { 35.
"But It should be borne In mind , " the con
sul says , "that these prices are for worn out
horses. Other American borses could bring
better prices. Suppose the large packing
company delivers the fresh American horse In
Hamburg at J30 per head. Taking out the
duty at $5 , the transportation , the feeding
and care on the way , $5 more , there re
mains a net price In America of say $20 per
head , out of which must come the packer's
and the horse raiser's profit. Should It be
desired to ship horses direct to Hamburg It
would bo wise to first enter Into correspond
ence with the principal horse dealing firms
In Hamburg , Claus Olde , Schulterblatt ,
Hamburg. Horses could , by reason of the
splendid roads In Germany , bo delivered on
the hoof from Hamburg or Brunswick to
any German town at small cost. It Is In
this manner that Russian horses are brought
Into Garmany for sale. "
KAKINQ UP OLIJ CLAIMS.
Spain Mny Make Irnulile lloforo She Fayi
the Mont Damages.
WASHINGTON , Juno 30. The first reports
as to the urgency of the demand made by the
United States on Spain for the payment of
what Is known as the Mora claim appeared
to have been overstated. The attitude ot
the United States was stated without any
expression of demand or threat In a com
munication from the State department to
Minister Taylor , sent some weeks ago , be
fore Senor Muruaga , the Spanish minister ,
had left Washington. It Is said to have
made clear that the department's note was
due to Instructions from congress and that
It was desirable to have such response as
would permit a communication to congress
when It reconvened In December. The n6te
was couched In the courteous terms usual
In dealing between friendly powers and was
such as to give full execution to the Instruc
tions of congress and yet leave Spain to take
such action as seemed to her consistent.
The fact that Spain still has a minister In
Washington indicates that there have been
no threats ot possible consequences such as
have been suggested , as such expressions
either lu the original note or In any subse
quent communications to the Spanish gov
ernment would have given a cause which
governments are In the habit of following
by a withdrawal of their minister.
So far as the action of the Spanish gov
ernment Is concerned It Is not known what ,
IT any , action has been taken by the Cortes ,
but It Is doubted whether anything has been
or will bo done In the brief time before the
Cortes adjourns two weeks heuce. The Mora
claim Is said to ba very unpopular In Spain
and the Spanish minister of foreign affairs ,
who agreed on a ( settlement , was compelled
to leave the cabinet. The only action ever
taken by the Cortes was In 1880 , when , a
committee reported that If the claim was
paid the United States should settle at the
same tlmo several largo claim * which Spain
holds against the United States. The report
of the committee was never acted upon. In
view of the report that any settlement by
Spain should be accompanied by a settlement
by the United States , It is believed that It
the United States Insisted upon the settle
ment ot the Mora claim , Spain will urge two
large claims which have long stood in obey-

Hutting ItcviMiiio.
WASHINGTON , Juno 20. Consul General
Karel at St. Petersburg , lu a report to the
State department , gives the details ot a planet
ot the Russian government to raise more
money by Increasing the consumption tax on
tea ; also by strict laws to prevent the adul
teration of that article. Each package of tea
Is to bo stamped with a revenue band. The
tax on pound packages will cost 0.312 ? copeck
ejch ( one copeck equals about % of a cent ) .
The tax Is not heavy , yet c.i account of the
great amount ot tea drinking In Uussla It
will produce considerable revenue. The con
sul general Gays that notwithstanding the
yearly Increase In the consumption of tea
the Importations decrease annually. It Is
admitted that from 2,170,000 to 2,530,000
pounds are smuggled In yearly. Strong
measures are being adopted by the llusslan
government to prevent the adulteration which
Is known to bo carried on. Another reason
for the decrease In Importation In the face
of Increased consumption Is the fact that
tea Is quite extensively produced In Russia
and an analysis ot It shows It to bo a very
good quality.

Indjannpolls Journal : Senator Blackburn of
Kentucky Is not as handsome as he was be
fore he made his defiant declaration In favor
of free sliver , but he knows more. During
the period of his retirement to private life
he will have leisure to reflect on the folly of
going oft half cocked In politics.
Louisville Courier-Journal : The results of
the district and county conventions to name
delegates to the state convention In
dicate , what was foreshadowed by the Win
chester convention , that the democrats of
Kentucky will not commit the folly of placing
a free silver plank In their state platform.
The unlnstructed delegates , together with
those Instructed for sound money , will shape
the policy of the convention. The delegates
Instructed for free silver are In a decided
minority.
Kansas City Star : There Is an Indication
In this result that the people ore still with
Mr. Cleveland. The flght for free silver has
Involved the denunciation of the financial
policy of the national administration. The de
feat of the men who have turned their backs
on the leader of the party means that the
people have not followed the defection of the
politicians. The president and Secretary
Carlisle , therefore , have a double reason for
feeling gratified over the news from
Kentucky.
Chicago Times-Herald : Kentucky , the eld
est daughter of the union , where first was
seen the star of empire In its westward
course , true to Its traditions of sound gov
ernment , has turned and broken the tide of
the free silver movement. Tliere , In n con
test openly and legitimately made , where the
question was an Issue , the democratic party
of Kentucky has declared for honest money.
The state of Henry Clay , of John J. Crltten-
den , of James Guthrle , of Joseph H. Holt
and of George D. Prentice could hardly have
done otherwise. Herein is the beginning of
the end.
Minneapolis Tribune ; The Carlisle triumph
Is significant and demonstrates the Intrinsic
weakness of the silver heresy when It Is
boldly met and combated. Defore Carlisle
took the stump It looked as If the Kentucky
democracy had gone Into the silver camp ,
horse , foot and dragoon. Senator Blackburn
was so dead sure that that was the winning
side that he climbed down off the fence with
alacrity and became one of the most extreme
and radical of the cheap money advocates.
Dut It required only half a dozen speeches
from Secretary Carlisle to put an entirely
different face .upon affairs. Mr. Carlisle's
speeches were extremely able ; they were bold
and uncompromising , proposing no half way
measures , attempting no straddle , but taking
position squarely In favor of a gold standard ,
against the free coinage ot silver at any
ratio , and for the full maintenance ot the
public faith and credit. Herein is a good
hint to republican leaders In other states. It
shows what can be accomplished by courage
and directness.

THE OMAIIA SUNDAY BEE.
Commencing Sunday next The Bee
will reprint In Its Sunday edition a series
ot extracts from the book written by
George K. Iloberts , entitled "Coin nt
School In Finance. " This book Is at
tracting as much If not more attention
than Harvey's "Coin's School of
Finance. " It meets Coin oiv His own
ground and IH without question the best
exposure of free silver fallacies that baa
yet appeared. The book Is altogether
non-partisan , and has received endorse
ments from leading men of all parties.
Senator Gear ot Iowa , for example ,
writes to W. U. Conkey of Chicago ,
the publisher : "I have read 'Coin at
School In Finance' through twlco with
great Interest. It Is n contribution to
the education of the people who are In
quiring Into this question that Is of
great value. It has clearly shown the
fallacies of Mr. Harvey , set up In his
book. "
The extracts which The Bco will print
will appear Sundays for flvo consecu-
tlvo weeks and will , when taken to
gether , give the substance of the entlro
work. They will bo copiously Illustrated
with reproductions of the original pic
tures. No ono who wants to bo In

afford to miss the. opportunity of read-
Ing1 this work which The Sunday Bee
will present. It will be a feature for
readers of all classes.
