The restoration of the treasury gold
eservo to the $100,000,000 mark Is an
ncident of the financial situation that
s noteworthy simply as suggesting
some questIOUH as to the future policy
) f the department. The bond syndicate
uis more payments to make , which
vlll carry the reserve to $100,000,000 If
here Is no extraordinary demand In
he meantime , nnd none is expected. It
ippears that since February 8 , when
the arrangement for the sale' of bonds
was effected , the treasury has gained
some gold outside the operations of the
syndicate , but It is Improbable that
his will continue. The Important ques
tion is whether the treasury will bo
ible to maintain the reserve after the
expiration of the contract with the
lyndlcnte , October 1 , there being little
lotilit that It can do so until that date ,
) crauso the syndicate has fully demon
strated its power to protect the treasury
n this respect. It Is a most Interesting
fact , as showing the Influence exerted
ty the syndicate , that the redemptions
) f paper money by the treasury since
: he last sale of bonds have averaged
but lltlle over ifl.OOO.WO a month , while
In .lannary , before the arrangement
with the syndicate , the redemptions
tmounted to over $15,000.000. At the
rate they were then going the treasury
would have been emptied of gold
within a month , the reserve at the time
the bond contract was made having
icen reduced to about $11.000,000. That
the result has most fully justified the
transaction no one now seriously ques
tions. Not only did It give a most neces
sary protection to the treasury , but It
ipi'iated to restore financial confidence ,
so that what seemed a hard bargain
for the government has brought Im
measurable benefit to the country. As
to the possibility of n drain of gold ,
much depends upon the relative pro
portions of exports and Imports during
the next few months , but with a liberal
foreign demand for American secur
ities there would seem to be no reason
to apprehend a demand for gold that
could cause any uneasiness.
Great progress has been made in the
shipbuilding industry In the I'nited
States in the last ten or twelve years ,
so that now our shipbuilders can fairly
claim to be the peers of those of Eng
land. The war ships of this country
that participated In the naval display
at Kiel were the admiration of all ex
pert Judges , the cruiser New York es
pecially , upon which Emperor William
passed an hour In Inspection , being
generally considered the finest ship at
the celebration. The new steamship St.
Louis , as to whose superior seagoing
qualities tlie British ambassador bore
testimony , is a line example of the
highest attainment In the art of ship
building , although In the matter of
speed she did not do so well on her
first trip as was expected.
The excellence of American shipbuild
ing has attracted universal attention ,
and It Is said that when China gets
ready to restore her navy our ship
builders are very likely to be given
iin opportunity to construct some of
the ships , while It Is probable that
Japan will have business of this kind
to offer them. It lias been demonstrated
that all classes of vessels can be built
In the United States at no greater cost
than In Great Britain , yet higher wages
are paid in the Industry hero than there.
A prominent English shipbuilder who
visited this country some time ago to
Inspect our shipbuilding facilities said
there was no reason why we should
not hold our own In this industry
against any competition , the only ad
vantage enjoyed by British shipbuilders
being In the matter ofwages , which
was largely offset by the more elllclent
labor of American workmen , who ac
complish more In a given time than
those of 'any other country.
The policy under which this valuable
industry lias made such gratifying pro
gress It Is manifestly wise and expe
dient to adhere to. Whatever legisla
tion may be adopted with a view to
the restoration of the country's
merchant marine must give duo
consideration to the welfare of this
Industry ami the labor employed in it.
It will be not the least Important part
of the work of the republican party ,
when it returns to power , to devise
a policy that will enable the United
States to regain Its former position in
the world's carrying trade. The neces
sity of such a policy grows steadily
more urgent. The extension of our
foreign commerce In no small degree
depends on It , particularly commerce
with the countries south of us. We
want a merchant marine of American
construction and with abundant facili
ties for creating It a. practicable policy
for the purpose Is certainly possible.
American shipbuilding has attained a
position of which Americans may well
feel proud and It should bo subjected
to no unfriendly legislation.

There Is reason to believe that the
change In the British ministry will be
conducive to the holding of an Inter
national monetary conference , for what
ever attitude the new ministry may
take regarding silver , as a matter of
national policy , Its leading members
arc so committed to bimetallism that It
cannot very well refuse to give counte
nance to a conference of the nations
for the purpose of considering what can
be done for the rehabilitation of silver.
The chairman of the general council
of the British Bimetallic league In u
communication-to an American news
paper expressed the opinion that a
change of government In England
would be favorable to efforts to secure
a settlement of the silver question , ami
this view Is held generally by the ad
vocates of bimetallism In England ,
whose Influence will of course be vigor
ously asserted to Induce the now minis
try to give recognition to the question ,
If only to the cxtcrQ of giving friendly
consideration to the proposed confer
dice. Perhaps It Is not to be expected
that It will go beyond this and make
bimetallism a distinct issue In a general
election , but the question may still play
such a part as will enable the voters
to render their verdict upon It. There
Is unquestionably a very great Interest
In the subject throughout the United
Kingdom and It will be strengthened
: > y the accession of the conservatives to
; > owcr.
Another probable effect of the change
will bo to render the German govern-
nent better disposed to take the Inltla-
.Ivc In calling an International confer-
nee.As was stated In the dispatches
i few days ago , the Bundosrath , or
federal council , representing the states
> f Germany , Is by a decisive majority
In favor of a conference , ami with this
expression of opinion on the part of the
representatives of the states the lin-
[ icrlal government has nothing more to
isle for by way of Instruction or sug
gestion. All the legislative bodies of
the empire have , after most careful do-
Iberntlon , declared that an Interim *
lonal monetary conference is desirable
and that the call for one should be
made by Germany. It Is expected that
invitations will bo Issued by the Gor
man government In time to convene a
conference by the middle of October ,
the only unsettled point being as to the
xtent Germany Is to engage herself In
'ailing ' the conference that is , whether
its purpose shall be the ultimate resto
ration of bimetallism or simply the llx-
Ing of n now ratio between gold and
silver. It would seem that this ought
not to be very perplexing.
Not only Is the outlook for an interna
tional monetary conference much bet
ter , but there Is greater reason to ex-
[ icct some practical result from one.
England , It Is to be presumed , will not
ie represented by men unalterably op
posed to bimetallism and instructed to
discountenance all propositions for the
rehabilitation of silver , * but will have
in her delegation some friends of tire
white metal , and this will be a decided
gain In the Interest of International bi
metallism.
A HOOD
The Hoard of Fire and Police Com
missioners has made a good beginning
In the reorganization of the police do
partment. In formally appointing Mar
tin White of Chicago to be chief of
police the commissioners have fixed
upon a choice who comes wltii the hlfji
est recommendations and who has be-
iiind him a luurleon years' record of
actual congee at the head of one of the
largest r.tll\\ay detective corps in th
United butts. He knows all the pro
fessional ciojks and criminals of tin ;
vu'.stern C.JUIHIJ and piomlses to make
the police force cl Omaha a protection
ti our citizens in fact as well as in
name.
The appointment of a new chief Is ,
however , but the beginning of police
reorganization. No man , whatever his
ability , could make the discordant ele
ments In our present force work In
harmony or make efficient olllccrs out
of the Incompetents and imbeciles who
have been hand aiul glove with thugs
and law breakers for months if not
years past. There should be no place
on any police force for sectarian dis-
sonsionlsts or for men who make police
duty secondary to the prosecution of
politics. There should be no place on
any detective force for belled cats who
don't catch mice.
The appointment of a new chief of
police , therefore , does not exhaust the
duty of the police commissioners. The
weeding out process must be commenced
forthwith and be done with thorough
ness and dispatch. There have been
for some time several vacancies in the
ollicial staff of the department.
These , together with the vacancies
to be created by the dismissal
of the luelllcicnts , must be filled
at once. They must bo filled
by men who have as good qualifications
for their respective places as the new
chief has for his. The charter requires
appointees to the police force to be
residents of Nebraska "whenever prac
ticable. " But the commissioners are
not confined in their quest for material
to present employes. Omaha must have
first class police officers. If they can
not be found hero they must be secured
elsewhere.

Ex-Senator Warner Miller of New
York , In his address to the convention
of republican league clubs at Cleve
land , said that the republican party
proposed to restore the reciprocity
policy and to enlarge and widen It. If
the republican party is given control of
the government next year undoubtedly
one of Its earliest acts will be to pro
vide for the extension and enlargement
of our commerce by means of reciprocal
trade arrangements , and It is not to be
doubted that It could do nothing more
popular. The abandonment of reci
procity by the democratic party has
caused a material loss to the business
of the country. It has cut off a profit
able trade with Cuba , has Injured our
business with Brazil and lias hurt us
commercially In Central America. A
recent report from Brazil slated that
the merchants of that country preferred
to trade with the United States , but the
fact of England having the facilities of
transportation gave that country a very
decided advantage. This Is the case ,
but with reciprocity the United States
had at least a partial offset. It Is un
doubtedly a fact that the merchants of
most of the South and Central Ameri
can states would prefer to trade with
this country , all things being equal , and
It Is manifestly wise business policy on
our part to do everything possible to
encourage this friendly sentiment.
Reciprocity not only serves to culti
vate more Intimate commercial rela
tlons , but In doing this It brings the
countries with which we have It Into
closer political sympathy with us and
thus the influence of the United States
with those countries is strengthened.
It Is most desirable that this be done ,
both for the good of the countries In
tills hemisphere nnd for the mainte
nance of our Influence and prestige In
this part of the world. The more
strongly we can Impress our political
system upon the peoples to the south
of us the better It will be for the
growth there of a true republican policy
In government. As Is well known some
of the Spanish-American republics are
not comprehensively republican. Es
pecially Is this true of the Central
American states. As a consequence
these republics , with a few exceptions ,
are almost continually menaced with
revolutions. The influence of the
United States ought to be constantly
exerted In the direction of improving
the political systems of the souUieru re-
ntbllcs and this can bo most effectively
lone by cultlvhltlrtg closer commercial
' '
relations. . ,
Reciprocity was beginning to most
satisfactorily 'dejuonstrato its value
when the pollejj.w'as stricken down by
ho democratic | party. Our trade had
grown with nearly all the countries
with which we lr.id reciprocal trade
irrangomonts alitl every practical con
sideration wasjpi favor of maintaining
the policy. It xvas a republican plan ,
however , and no itiatter how great Its
nerlts. that facjlkvas ( sufficient to cause
; he democratic party to abandon It. It
will be restored 'by ' the republican party
it the earliest opportunity.
We are glad to see reports from Kan
sas promising a corn crop larger than
my ever grown in that state. Ne
braska can only gain by having her
neighbor equally as prosperous as her
self. She prefers by far to share with
Kansas and Iowa anil the Dakotas the
fortune of good crops than to bo drawn
down with any one of Jhein Into the
ibyss of crop failure. The bigger the
corn product tills year the more money
for the producers of corn and the more
substantial the revival of good times.
The decision In the water works fore
closure case will no doubt be highly flat-
isfactory to the people of tills city If
It Is the beginning of the end of litiga
tion in which the Omaha plant has
been Involved. This decision gives rise
to renewed hope that the contemplated
improvements In the system may soon
be inaugurated. These are Impera
tively demanded by the people of this
city. The court , as a tribunal of the
people , cannot fail to see the urgency
of the case.
Judge Scott Is certainly erratic , but
his erratlclsm struck the right point
when he recalled the privilege of ball
that had been accorded James Ish ,
charged with the Chappie murder.
We might bo inclined to ask how long
it takes the puissant judge to discover
that a man has been wrongfully ad
mitted to ball , but The Boo is always
ready to give credit where credit Is
due , however late It may be earned.
Wo do not know what sense or
reason there was for the split between
the state fair management and the Man
ufacturers association. We do know ,
however , that the exhibit of Nebraska
manufactures should have a promi
nent place In the state exhibit. A
building should be provided for the ex
clusive use of the manufacturers. Our
manufacturers are second only to our
agriculture.

The trouble with the league leaders was
that they busied their minds too much with
the thought ot what would help or Injure
the party and too little with the thought of
what was right. As a consequence , the party
probably would bo better oft If the conven
tion never had been held. The great mass
of these delegates were sound money men.
There was never -a doubt that they could
have carried almost any kind of a sound
money resolution by an overwhelming ma
jority. That was proved In the selection of

Such an evasion Is worse than a pointblank -

as It deserves. We do not wish to treat
Spain as Great Britain treated Nicaragua.
That would be a declaration of war , and a
declaration of war now merely over a claim
that we have allowed to slumber for nine

the other hand none of our rights have been
forfeited by our neglect to enforce them.
It Is our duty to Mora to obtain Justice for

VOSIV OF A JIOVAI.

LONDON , June 23. I'rlnco Kmat.utl Kill-
berto , duke ofostn , aeplitw of King Hum
bert of Italy , was married today at the
Church of St. llaplucl , Klnc.iton-on-Tliames ,
his bride being th Princess llcleiio of Or
leans , peoonJ daughter ot the countess of
Paris anil ilster of the duke ot Orloans.
The wedding ceremony was a most bril
liant affair. The route from Kingston rail
way station to the church was spanned by
triumphal arches made ( hr.zllng with color
by a multitude ot Fiencli and Italian ( lag ! )
and ensigns and by escutcheons representing
the arms of Savoy and ot the linuao of Or
leans. Knthnslaptlc musrcs of people lined
the street ? of Kingston and cheered the ar
rivals moil heartily.
Nine gentlemen of the Orleans household In
full dress , black lined \\lth blue silk , with
gold buttons and \\hlto waistcoat ? and wear
ing many ordrrs nnd other decorations , had
charge of the church. There Uti-y received
the ladles and gcntlrmcn , the former In
gorgeous toilets , and the latter nearly alt In
splendid uniforms , who came by carriages In
streams from nil parts.
Among the first to arrive wore the prince
and princess do Jolncvlllo , the duke of
Aumale , the duke of Chartres , princess Mar
garet of Orleans , the Auftro-Hungarlnn am
bassador to Orcat Britain , Count von
Strltz ; Sir Frederick Lelghton , president ot
the Royal academy , and the duke and duchess
of Teck.
The Interior of the church was made beau
tiful with artistic floral decorations , softened
by the Judicious use of palms , ferns and
other plants , contrasting nicely with the
colors of the ladles' toilets and with the
uniforms of the military guests.
In front of the altar were two gold chairs
upholstered with red velvet for the use of
bride and bridegroom , and on either sldo of
them were similar gilt chairs for the accom
modation of the witnesses ot the marriage
ceremony. ,
The family psws , richly draped with red
velvet trimmed with gold , were reserved for
the members of the Orleans family and for
the relatives of the duke of Aosta.
The Infanta Kulallo of Spain , wlfo of
Prince Antolne of Bourbon-Orleans , arrived
at the church at 10 a. in. and was closely
followed by the duke of Orleans In evening
dress and carried by four gardes chasse
( gamekeepers ) In their handsome blue uni
forms from the Chateau d'Ku. The duke
took a scat on the left of the bride's chair.
The duke of Aosta In the uniform ot his
regiment ( he Is colonel of the Fifth regiment
of Italian Scgc artillery ) and wearing the
order of Black Eagle entered the church at
10:20 : n. in. and shook hands cordially with
the duke of Orleans , after which he seated
himself on the gold chair prepared for his
U33.
1'rlnccss Ilelene of Orleans , the personifi
cation of womanly health and beauty , dis
tinguished as a graceful athlete and charm
ing linguist , occupying a closed carriage with
her mother , the widowed countess of Paris ,
crossed Kingston bridge at 10:45 : , bowing
modestly to the cheers upon cheers which
rose from the masses of people lining the
route to the church. Hats and handker
chiefs , parasols and sticks were waved en
thusiastically In the air and the charming
princess was visibly affected by the warmth
of the welcome accorded her by the people.
This enthusiasm on the part ot the masses
continued until the princess entered the lit
tle old church of St. Raphcal , In which her
parents were married In 1864. The Duke
Charles , uncle of the bride , awaited
her coming at the church door and
conducted her with old tlmo grace and
courtesy to the vacant gold chair on the left
of the bridegroom , all present rising to re
ceive the Princess Helene. The countess of
Paris followed the bride to the altar.
As soon as the bride was at the altar the
services commenced , both bride and bride
groom making the responses In English.
At the conclusion of the marriage cere
mony , which only lasted ten minutes , the
Duke and Duchess d'Aosta entered the
sacristy , followed by the prince of Wales and
the prince of Naples.
"While the marrlago registry was being
signed the choir sang Ave Verum.
The duke of Chartres carried the register
to the old duke of Orleans for the latter's
signature. After thews formalities had been
completed a low mass was celebrated , the
service being most impressive. The bride
was collected throughout the ceremonies , but
H was plainly apparent that her mother was
deeply affected. St. Raphael's church was
crowded to the extreme , and the clouds of
perfume were almost overpowering. Crowds
-of people who had obtained cards of admission
were unable to get within the door nnd had
to content themselves with waiting In the
gardens about the church or with occupying
the best points along the route from the
church.
The bride and bridegroom left the church
to the strains of a wedding march and were
driven away In a closed carriage amidst tre
mendous outbursts of cheers to Orleans house
at Twickenham , not far distant , where the
wedding breakfast was served to members
of the different royal families present at
the church.
III. Rev. John Butt , Roman Catholic bishop
of Southwark , of St. George's cathedral , of
ficiated at the marriage In full canonicals , as
slstcd by Mgr. D'Hulst , the chaplain of the
Orleans family.
The bride was given away by the duke of
Chartres , owing to the fact that the duke of
Orleans Is still unable to stand as a result
of the breaking of his leg , caused by a fall
from hla horse while out hunting recently
near Seville , Spain.
The wedding dress of the brldo was a
sumptuous creation of exquisite brocade , shot
with pale rose pinks. The dress was brocaded
all over with flowers cf gold and silver and
was draped with old Italian lace , the gift of
relatives of the bridegroom.
The bridal veil was a magnificent specimen
of Chanttlly lace , about fourteen feet long , and
having a border enriched with a floral pat
tern dlmlnshlng In elaboration as It reached
the head. Springing from the train were two
branches , forming m the mlddlo a medallion
enclosing the arms of the brldo , surmounted
by the cross at Savoy and the arms of the
royal family of France , with the fleurs do 11s
above the two escutcheons , being the crown of
the princess of Savoy.
Twickenham was as gaily decorated as
Kingston and the route to Orleans houee was
crowded with people , who cheered the bride
and groom most heartily.
In London four hotels. In addition to the
Hotel Bristol occupied by the countess of
Paris , have boon secured for the use of the
wedding guests and their suites and at the
Hotel Bristol a number of dinner parties will
bo given In honor of the newly married
couple.
This evening the duke of Orleans will give
a dinner at the Hotel Metropolo to all the
princes and their suites , and It will be fol
lowed by a reception which Is to Include all
the persons present at the wedding ceremony.
The Orleans family mourning for the late
count of Paris was suspended for the occasion
and In consequence all the ladles present In
the church wore colored toilettes and bonnets
with or without strings.
The wedd'ng ' presents wore so numerous
that columns would bo required to glvo a c-m-
plote list of them. They Included a magnifi
cent set of pearls and diamonds and a splen
did emerald and diamond necklace , the gifts
of the bridegroom ; a diamond bracelet from
ex-Queen Isabella , pearls and diamonds from
the duchess of Montpenser , and diamonds ,
pearls and rubleu from the prince and prin
cess of Wales and their family. The king
and queen of Italy sent a number of rich
and beautiful pieces of Jewelry , and there
were appropriate presents from Queen Vic
toria and from nearly everybody present at
the marriage. _

mier. As a nu > ( ] ! euro member of the benches ,

at the Derby mid a man of well assured
title and social place , his position was an
stivlable OMO. Ills failure In the premiership
lias dimmed his luster forever , lie has been
found out.
Philadelphia Times : Lord Iloscbery started
In with high Ambitions and generous hcpes ,
but neither ho nor his party has had any
definite policy , and though the policy ot
llio opposition may bo no more distinct , It
\f \ not always necessary that the opposition
should have any policy. Its attitude Is neg
ative and critical. Hut the liberal party , to
justify Its history , must bo doing something ,
and at present the Ilrttlsh liberals cannot
agree upon what Is to bS douo.

a crisis to be precipitated In the English
government by such a comparatively small
matter ns the discovery ot an Insignificant
shortage In the accounts of a subordinate of
the secretary of war. On this sldo the mat

perhaps by the removal of the oflendlng of

by an appsal to Us suffrage.
Chicago Post : The Hosebery administration
goes Into history as respectable only this
and nothing more. Its virtues. If It has ? vir
tues , are negative. Its sins , If It has been
guilty ot sins , arc these of omission. The
old liberal party , which was rent asunder by
Mr. Gladstone In 188C , has practically ceased
to exist. Long before his fascinating per
sonality , which alone held It together , was
withdrawn from politics the party began to
split Into factions , and from the day of his
actual withdrawal the clcavago rapidly desp-
cncd.
IJrooklyn Rage : Great Britain Is manifestly
passing again within the sweep of conserva
tive Influences , but the statesmen of that
party are quite likely either to grant home
rule , in form or in fact , to the Irish , Just as
the conservatives under Disraeli , when they
beat the liberals on the bill to extend the
suffrage , signalized their return to power by
extending It themselves. A similar policy
play a generation ago elicited from Lord
John Iluasell the remark that "tho torles
stole the clothes of the whlgs while the
whigs were In swimming. "
Chicago Tribune : Should Parliament be dis
solved and a new election ordered the ques
tion before the electors will bo whether they
have confidence In the ability of Lord Hosi-
bery's party to administer the government.
The liberal majority has been steadily whit
tled down until now it Is a mere handful.
The party Is badly disintegrated in the House
and all over the country by the Jealousies
and feuds of its leaders. The premier has
been In bad health and physically Is Incom
petent for his taslt. The government has
been mismanaged and there Is dissatisfaction
in the country.
New York Tribune : The crisis came because
the government was on the down grade , and
near the foot of the grade , and the govern
ment was In that plight because of Its own
vacillations , Intestine wrangles and general
unworthlness. No testimony against It could
be more damaging than that which Mr. Glad
stone himself has given. It has abandoned
and betrayed home rule , it has compromised
with and catered to eoclallsm , and It has
brought humiliation and loss to the omplro
abroad. It Is really time for It to step
down and out , and let the people elect a new
House of Commons , which will at least have
a definite policy and show the courage of Its
convictions by putting that policy Into effect.
