The Venezuelan jangle has been amica bly twilled.

Comptroller Kckels' currency reform plan Is not likely to llnd favor with the Brent majority of American people. The retirement of the greenbacks and bull- Btlttitlon of national bank notes will not meet with popular approval.

Thi' repent of the state sugnr bounty Is being urged by the SVorhMlcrnhl , which assumes to map out the course of the coming leglslatine. The ground upon which this action Is demanded Is political rather than eco nomical. It Is averted that the last legislature was ruled by the beet sugar lobby and that the bounty on beet sugar was voted In spite of the veto of the governor. ( Jovprnor Ilolcomb had expressed himself favorable to a sugar homily an a stimulant to sugar beet culture before he hud been elected. The governor concurs fully with those who believe Hint Nebraska can be made the foremost sugar-producing state In America. It Is merely a qnesllon of what Inducements to Investors should be given and to what extent HIP beet raiser shall be made to share In the bounties. So long as the national government paid a bonnly on sugar produced In this country as nu offset to the export bountlps of Httropcnn countries there was no need of a statp bounty. With the national bounty abolished the ex isting factories would have been com pelled to close had not the state bounty been restored. The fact that no new factories have been established since the new law was passed does not argue against the bounty. Since ISO I Ilnanr-Ial conditions have been so. unsettled that no capitalist would venture into any new enterprise , no matter how profit able or promising. As n matter of fact the. greater part of bounty earned In Nebraska the past two years has gone to the heel growers. The law gives them a guaranteed price for their beets without regard to the sugar market. Last year's crop of sugar beets was defective , while this year It Is fully up to the standard. The result Is that this year's crop of beets will yield ou an average ? . " > < ) an acre after paying the cost of production. Ne braska's sugar product for IS'Jil will ex ceed one million dollars. The question the legislature should consider Is not the methods pursued by the Oxnards In getting HIP bounty restored , but whether Nebraska will gain or lose by a repeal of the law. It is to the Int est of Nebraska to diver sify its crops , build up Its Industries and develop Its resources. There Is room for UOO b : > el sugar factories In this state , and , instead of producing $1.)00.- ( ) ( MM ) worth of sugar a year , we can and should produce $ : tOH)0.oOO ( ) worth. We cannot hope to Increase our sugar beet area unless capital Is brought hen1 to Invest In new factories. With con fidence entirely restored , as It soon will he , the state bounty would go far to ward bringing about this much-dc.slrcd result. The bounty should , therefore , be retained , at least until congress shall either restore the national bounty or place a protective duly on sugar. Kvcn then It might be advisable to re tain the state bounty so far as it ap plies to new factories , with such safe guards ns will protect the farmers and make them share Its bi'neilts. UX 'I'UUKKY. The Aiuoilc.au people have only a re mote Interest In the condition of af fairs In the Turkish empire. While they keenly deplore the outrages and cruel ties to which the Christian subjects of ( hi11'orteare subjected , Ihls government can take no part in any efforts that may be made for the protection of those un fortunate people. It has been urged that we should participate with Kuro- pea.i governments to secure relief for the Armenians , but beyond such moral inlliu'iieo as we may exert this govern ment cannot go and be consistent with the traditional policy of the na tion. Still the American pimple will read with no little regret the announce ment of the policy of the British govern ment to do nothing to remedy the condi tion of nlTairs In the Ottoman empire without concert of the other powers. Lord Salisbury , In speaking of the Turk ish troubles , made it entirely plain that Knglnnd will not take action alone. This Is not surprising , because the task would be herculean and probably wouM bring about a Knropcan war , but some assur ance might reasonably have been ex pected from the liritlsh government that It would make every proper effort to Induce the other powers to take such prompt nnd decisive action as the cir cumstances demand. There Is nothing of thi.s kind , however , suggested or Im plied in Salisbury's aniioniK-ement of British policy , which reads like a cold blooded decision to leave the Armenians to their fate rather than hazard any British Interest. Perhaps Salisbury is right , but a greater statesman than he , Gladstone , has expressed , a different view of British duty. .1 THWMl'll b'OIl AllltlTllATIUX. The speech of the marquis of Salisbury at the banquet of the lord mayor of Lon don , In which he said the controversy between Great Britain and the United States In legard to the Venezuelan mat ter was at an end , prepared the public for the announcement from Washington that the arbitration of the Venezuelan dispute Is a settled fact. It was a gra cious acknowledgment on the part of the British prime minister that this re sult was brought about by suggestions from this government which pointed out a just and equitable solution of certain dltliciiltles and It Is a distinguished compliment to Secretary Oluey , who has certainly shown great ability In this matter. But the great point gained is the tri umph of the principle of arbitration , for the promotion of which tlu United States has always contended. There seemed little hope of accomplishing what has been done when tliu Venezuelan contro versy had reached an acute stage under the present administration. The attlturtj of our government In the case was met by a manifestation of resentment on tliu part of the British government. The marquis of Salisbury showed Irritation when a communication from this govern ment In support of I In position was pre sented to him amounting almost to an Indignity. Nothing was farther from his mind at that time thuu the acceptance of tin1 proposal of nrliHriitUin nntl It spp.inp.il for a Unit1 Hint pprs.I'Muni'p liy our KovtMiiiitpiit hi tliu position It littil tnkcii must liipvlfably ovpnlitiilp In war.

TIIK c. s , nisTiinr.n'n < ; Ksnn\ The recent death of .ludge IClmer S. Diindy has made a vacancy on the United Stales district bench. It be comes the duty and Is the prerogative of the president to appoint a successor to .ludge Dtiinly and submit the same for concurrence to the United States senate when con gress convenes in December. That the president will nominate a judge for this district Is a foregone conclusion. lie has abundant material among the as pirants whose claims are bi'lng pressed upon him to make a creditable selec tion. Several of the men whoM1 names have been prominently mentioned take rank among the ablest lawyers nt our bar. and nearly all are eminently quail- lied for judicial work. There may. however , lip one phase presrnted to Hie president which might Impel him to select a republican us the successor to Judge Dnndy. Puring the closing months of President Harrison's ad ministration a vacancy onthe United States supreme bench was caused by the death of Justice Lamar. In nam ing his successor President Harrison decided to till the vacany by the ap pointment of a democrat from the same > cclloii. He appointed .lustier1 Jack- sou and the nomination was promptly continued. With this example before him. it Is not unlikely that President Cleveland will choose a republican as the successor of Judge Diindy. In any event , however , the vacancy on the United Stales district lu < nch should be filled as soon as possible. CVllllKXi : } ' ItKl'UllM. Senator Sherman said in reply to a question regarding lluanelal legislation by the next congress that there Is no need of such legislation. "The people of the country have Just decided by a tie- mcndous popular majority that a change In our llnanclal policy Is not desired. We have plenty of money and plenty of gold In the treasury anil I do not think that congress Is called to take up Ihc consideration of any radical change In our present financial system. " None Ih1 less it Is certain that there will b : > a very sttong pressure on the ni'ty-llfth congress to make some change in the currency system. Already this Is ap parent and before the next congress can meet , either In extra or regular session , the public discussion of this subject will hiv : : > become general. Most of the advocates of a change In the curicncy system Insist that the first and most Important thing to he done is to retire all form's of government de mand notes and circulating paper , so that the government shall IK > taki'ii out of the "banking business , " which simply means relieved of the necessity of main taining a reserve of gold to redeem Iheso I'otes , amounting to about -CiiiO.OOO.OiX ) . While It IR trui1 that the greenbacks , of which theio Is outstanding S.'MiJ.OOO.OOO. have been freely used during the past three years to draw gold from tin- treas ury , no fact Is better settled than that the people do not desire the ivtlreiiieut of that currency. The very Iiidustiiotis tind earnest efforts made by the present ailmlnlstration to Impress upon the pub lic mind the necessity of withdrawing and canceling the legal tender notes , in order to destroy the "endless chain" by which the gold reserve has been de pleted , have had only veiy limited KHC- cess. Tills is not due to mere spntliiu-nt , but chiefly to very practical considera tions. The people regard the green backs as a very desirable and a very cheap currency , while at the same time a distinctly representative currency. The greenbacks are peculiarly the pro- pic's money. It will have to be admitted that they have been used to the disad vantage of tliu government , but this would not have been the case except for extraordinary conditions not likely to arise again. It was the flood of silver paper and the agitation for more , creat ing distrust of the future of the finan cial system , that caused the persistent attacks on the gold reserve , added to which was the fact that the government has not received for several years sulll- cleut revenue to pay current expenses. During the thirteen years from the re sumption of specie payments to 1S1K ! the national treasury experienced no trouble from the legal tender notes. Their re demption at no time during that period Impaired the gold reserve. Slrce the late election gold has been freely ottered In exchange for these notes , clearly show ing that with former con'dltlons restored they will cease to be a menace to the treasury gold. What tliu currency reformers urge Is that the paper money should be Issued exclusively by the banks , but they have as yet failed to devise a plan acceptable to the country , or upon which they themselves could agree. A num ber of plniis have been presented In con gress during the last five or six years , but iioin > of them has commended itself to general favor or been free from vital objections. None of them proposed any real Improvement upon the present system. There Is a well-founded fear of ritatu bunk Issues , however carefully safeguarded , \\hkli will not be easily overcome , while the popular opposi tion to cxlftndhij ; the privileges of national hauls wljl doubtless continue to make Itself felt- The Flfty-iiftl ! congress may evolve a satisfactory plan for some change or modification of our currency system that will remove existing faults , but It Is entirely safe to say that the plan of re tiring the legal tender notes will not be adopted. That Is not contemplated In the llnanclaUpolley of any party nnd would not be-acccptable to a majority of 1 the people. * The World-Herald admonishes the pop ulists who furnished three-fourths of the votes that carried Nebraska for Bryan and the fusion state ticket to play fair on tlie distribution of the state house patronage. According to this self-con stituted monitor of the victorious combi nation the fair thing would be to divide the olllces In equal proportions among the silver democrats , populists and silver republicans. Under this fair division the populists are requested and directed In take one of the three $ 'J,000 a year secretaryships of the State Board of Transportation and give one secretary ship each to the democrats and free sll- veiltes. In other words , give the 75.1)00 ) populists one ? lHK ! ( ) plum , the I'.O.OOO democrats one $2.0K ( ) plum and the ii.OOO silver galvanized republicans one $12,000 plum. We apprehend the pops who have done the lighting and voting will scarcely relish such a proposition for a fair divide of the state house spoils. The name of General John C. Cowlii has been prominently brought to pub lic notice by the press as a prospective member of President McKlnley's cabi net. It goes without saying that the people of Nebraska would feel highly honored and the cause of republicanism would be strengthened not only In Ne braska but the entire debatable ground west of the .Mississippi by the elevation of General Cowin to the councils of the president-elect. If it he true that the popocrats of Washington state contemplate lhi > elec tion of William , Jennings Bryan to Hi. ' United States senate without the aid or c.mscnt of any other nation on earth the people 'of Nebraska , Irrespective of politics , nationality or creed , will cheer fully bid their only begotten noblest son godspeed. llaseall's threat to contest the seal In the city council which he lost by a dc- ilsive majoilty In the late election will never materialize.

Somehow all the party conventions forgot to name candidates for county surveyor. The emoluments of the office nro nominal , which probably accounts for the fact that none of the politicians thought about It. The duties of the post are not Irksome and Borne people think they are of no Importance , but the offlco exists , and Its Incumbent may nt any time bo called upon to exercise Its functions. The space was left blank on thu ticket and a number of voters wrote In Ihe panic of "John M. Palmer. " No one else was voted for , and hence General Palmer Is elected. _ I'rnlMi-Ms Aniii-nlH to St-ctlnnnllMiii , WiiH.iliiKton Ktiir.

Complaints nre frequently made by American bicyclists touring through Germany of obstacles nnd delays caused by the very rigorous laws governing the use of bicycles on the public roads In thai country. For Iho benefit of fciich tourists United States Consul Fawter at Glnuchan cites a few of Ihc slrlcter rules which cyclers are called upon lo cilnorvo throughout the empire. Cycling on public strcctt ) and roads , par ticularly In Saxony , ho says. Is subject to minute nnd carefully enforced police regula tions which in mnnv places nrohlblt alto- gelhcr the use of brakclc-ss machines. The roads with but few exceptions 'are por- fcel , and wheeling is Einoolli and easy , but on account of rainy weather , which prevails moat of the year , wheel guarda for wet dis arc Indispensable. The alarm bell Is , of course , demanded everywhere. The la'v requires that the lamp bo rather highly placed on the wheel and bo kept lighted from within half an hour after sun down to half an hour before sunrise. Kach bicycle nil-st bo provided with an easily managed brake , operating iulcky | ! nnd pun- crfully. Cycling on roaiia exclusively In tended for pedestrians or on the elevated foot paths and highways Is strictly pro hibited. Two bicyclers may rldo side by side when It can bo done without 'blocking ' the Ihoronghfaro or annoying other riders or vehicles ; otherwise , single file Is the rule. Moro than Iwo machines abreasl are not permitted under any circumstances. When meeting other bicycles , or overtak ing thorn , or when approaching passages of the road where It la not possible to see a long distance , or when reaching a titoep descent , thn rider Is obliged to give frequent signals with his bell as a matter of strict precaution In avoiding collisions. Moderate < ; peed must bo maintained at all limes. Scotching la forbidden on all Ger man highways. At very steep down grades the cycler must dismount and gnldo bin wheel until the descent Is passed before remounting. Cyclers nro also required to dismount at any time IfnIed ! upon by pollco olllclals to do KO and nro obliged to give such officials any information they may demand. For disregard of any of Ihosc regulations a fine nol exceeding fie marks , or $11.2. . with imprisonment In Jail for not moro lhan two weeks , or bolh , may bo Inflicted for each offense. - , \ DOIOII AM ) WO.V A WIKU HV SSAII , .
