The opponents of tlm pending tariff ) lll ground their opposition largely upon ho fact that because there Is n. consid erable cash balance In the treasury here Is no necessity for the proposed changes in the tariff. Mr. Cleveland nnd Secretary Carlisle held this view , t has been urged by ox-Postninster General Wilson , who had something o do with framing the present nrlrt law , and It appears to prevail unong the democrats of the senate , as- timing that Senator Vest voices their entlmunts. Tlie Missouri senator , In opening the debate In opposition to the nriir bill , dwelt upon this cash balance , le admitted that It came from the sale of bonds , but declared that It makes no llffereiico where It came from. Con- Ider this from u practical point of view. Tills treasury balance represents n mrt of $1JC.XX.W ( ( ) ( ) borrowed by the government to meet expenditures nnd o replenish the gold reserve. On every lollar of It the people nre paying In- crest. Now every souml business prln- iplo dictates thtit the government should reduce its ili'bt ' and the Interest ninluii as rapidly as practicable. As he money In the treasury stands for ntercst-bearlng debt It Is manifestly leslrable that as much of It shall be ised to pay off that debt ns possible , t would be well If every dollar of It ould be so employed , because then the > eoplo would be relieved of tlie annual nterest charge of $8,000,000 or SfO.OOO- XX ) and this money could be used In lie public Interest , Instead of going to urther enrich bondholders. This gov ernment should never In time of peace 10 placed In u position compelling It to XHTOW money to pay current expenses , nit having been placed In such a posl- lon It should bu given the earliest op- inrtunlty to pay off what It borrowed mil not be required to go on In'dell- iltely doing business ujyon the debt It ias Incurred nnd which Is a heavy luirge upon.the people. It is most un- Mtslnosslike and unstntesmanllkc to irge any such policy , for the Inevl- able outcome of It must be Insolvency. Nearly every month since the present arlff law went Into effect lins witnessed in excess of government expenditures over receipts. Tlie total treasury dell- jlcncy since that law became operative , ihirty-three months ago , amounts to nero than the present cash balance in the treasury , excluding the gold reserve. To continue the * deficits would therefore wipe out tills balance In a little more than two years , and tliere can be no loubt that deficits will continue un less Micro Is n tariff change. The people want a fiscal policy that will provide the government with sntll- clent Income to pay its running ex penses and gradually reduce the public debt. They do not desire that the gov ernment shall do business ii borrowed money. They do not wish to pay in terest to the holders of government bonds si day longer than is absolutely necessary. They repudiated tit the last general election the democratic policy which compelled borrowing and they now expect a change which will not only obviate further sale Of bonds , but will enable the government to resume paying the public debt a republican | ) olicy which was steadily maintained while that party wan In control of the government. The Sun , In common with the republican press of the state , has eatd a good many mean things about The Omaha Dee and Its attitude to the republican party. An open confession U good for the soul and It must be admitted that had the party heeded The Reo'a odvlco In tlie past It doubtless would now be In much better lighting condition. Lyons Sun. Among the most promising signs for Nebraska republicans are the growing sentiment of Its press and partisans in favor of discarding tlie leaders under whom the party has been forced to re linquish control of the state nnd the realisation that to regain control will require a retracing of mis-steps made under vicious nnd Irresponsible guid ance. Political parties , like men , should learn by experience , lly avoiding the mis takes which have In the past cost It dearly , the republican party can and should quickly re-i\stablish Itself In the confidence ol1 the people and build up anew Its old-time popular majorities. If candidates are selected solely for their ability , integrity , republicanism and high standing as citizens , and no man even considered whose reputation Is in the least beclouded , the men who have been driven out of the party because they would not submit to a reign of corrupt political methods will be drawn back to their former associates and accept the republican organisation n.s thu true em bodiment of republican principles , which they have never repudiated. A party of principle must necessarily appeal to men stronger than a fusion , spoils-hunting combination , which rests on nothing but an all-absorbing desire to maintain n hold on the olllces. Nebraska republicans can put them selves In llrst-class fighting condition if they will by giving evidence of good Intentions and taking full advantage of every opportunity presented. iH nr It has been slated In Washington dispatches that one of the plans In re gard to Cuba being considered by the administration contemplates the pur- rliuso of ( lie Island by the people of Cuba , at a price to be fixed , and Hint Mm purchase money shall be guaran teed , principal and Interest , by thu United States , with Uu > stipulation that this country shall supervise and control thu revenues and finances of Cuba until the purchase money shall bu paid. A dispatch from Madrid says that Kagasta , the lender of the liberal party , will issue 'a statement announcing his opposition to thu sale of Cuba , from \vhlch It would seem that thu report of such a plan being under consideration at Washington was well founded. It is needless to say that Spain would not for a moment entertain a propo sition of this kind and if It were pre sented to that government it would Iw very likely to sluirply resent it. More over , If Snulu could l > e luduce , to Bull Cuba rather than risk the loss of the Island through war with the United States growing out of our Intervention , It Is questionable whether the Insur gents would be dlsposeti to assume so great a' ' debt as that of several hundred millions of dollars nnd place the control of their revenues and finances In the hands of this government. They expect to get Cuba by fighting for it and If they accomplish this they will want to control everything tliere. Hut in nny event it would bo most unwise for thu United States to assume any such re sponsibility as this plan Involve * . Un doubtedly it would cause our govern ment a great deal of trouble anil might lead to grave complications. With American olllclnls supervising the rev enues nnd finances of Cuba we should probably , have a revolt on our hands there before the first payment of the purchase money was made. UKllMAX C03I3IHHUIAJ * 1IOSTIMT1 ; At the dinner given to lion. Andrew D. White , minister to Germany , by the New York Lioderkrnnz society , lion. Carl Scliurx made an address , In the course of which be said : "Any real enmity between the two/ / countries ( Ger many and the United States ) seems to thoughtful minds Inconceivable. It Is true that In disturbed , and beclouded minds there exists the fear of a tariff war between Germany anil this repub lic a tariff war In which it Is com monly the result that each of the con tending parties punishes Itself In order to bring the other to terms. There are enough temperate men on both sides to prevent any such results. " There Is no real enmity between the two coun tries , but Unit there Is a strong com mercial hostility in Germany toward the United States is unquestionable. This has been manifested most ag gressively and In various ways. The exclusion of our cattle and our pork products from that country Is but one of numerous evidences of this hostility. There appears to bo n. widespread sentiment tliere that whatever Is Ameri can Is undesirable and that It is the duty of the German people to ireject It.A recent manifestation of this f spirit Is seen in tlie action of the Prus sian Federation of Manufacturers In making a protest to the government against sending German exhibits to the Philadelphia , commercial museums. It is indeed Inconceivable why the Ger man manufacturers should have taken this action , except upon the theory that they are unfriendly to this country and do not desire to cultivate closer com- inexcial relations with it. Sending ex hibits to the Philadelphia commercial museums could certainly do no harm to German manufacturing Interests , even If it were no benefit to them. As to a tariff war , tliere will be none unless Germany provokes It and there ire elements In that country which seem ready and anxious to do this. They have proclaimed It In the Kelchstag and through the jn-ess. There , is reason to think that the emperor himself Is not averse to such a course. This country will not invite a tariff wnr with Ger many , but It will not and should not make any very great sacrifice to avert such a war , for It would have less seri ous consequences for us than for Ger many. It matters not how much Omaha dis criminates against It , Council muffs will receive more enduring fame than Omaha from the exposition. Corning , la. , Union. There Is no Intention' whatever of Omaha discriminating against Council Hlnll's In the matter of the exposition' . So far the two cities have worked har moniously together and Omaha will not begrudge any enduring fame which tlie city across the river will derive from the great enterprise. It is confident that Council Hluffs will profit Immeasurably by the exposition , and it will be glad to share its benefits. The exposition , while the chief burdens rest upon Omaha , must not be viewed as a local affair. Its scope covers the whole transmlssis- slppl region and every transmlssisslppl state has It In its power to make Itself one of the beneficiaries by participating in it The promotion of General John H , Ilrooke to the highest rank now known to the United StativMirmy , that of major general , In hailed with Joy by his many friends In Omaha and Nebraska , where as department commander , he made him self popular with both military and ci vilians with whom he came In contact. General Ilrooke earned his shoulder straps by actual service during and since thu war.

The wrecker of the Logansport bank , while professing readiness to pleail guilty to the charge of embezzlement In sists that be never In his life had nny but honest motives. It Is remarkable how criminals porsuadu themselves that they are acting with the best Intentions when committing crlnio nnd fall utterlj to comprehend the enormity of Midi misdeeds. Although men with sucl blunted perceptions are most dangerous to society they are thu first to play for sympathy the moment they get to the end of their rope and see the penalties of the law staring them in the face.

Philadelphia Press : Spain Is once more iranclng around smacking her palms , cock ing her hat over her left eye and otherwise putting up a belligerent bluff toward the United States. Hut this Is one time when auch antics won't work. Philadelphia Press : The wisest policy or this government toward Spsln and her In surgent subJcctR In Cuba Is that of thn two I'ennsylvanla senators on the Morgan bellig erency resolution one of strict neutrality.

Kansas City Star : Thcro Is not much reason to hope for the success of the presl- lent's plans for thu liberation of Cuba , for n similar proposition was discussed during the Cleveland administration and rejected. U Is not Improbable that Spain would consent lo complete nmiu'sty , and with the guarantee of the United States ot good behavior on the part ot the Insurgents the proposed with drawal ot Spanish troops might be acceded to. But Spain has positively declared that she will not , under any circumstances , con sent to the Independence of tlio Island upon the payment of Indemnity or for any other consideration , and whatever expectations nro raised on that score will bo disappointed. Hut It congress will leave the matter to the president the American citizens who uro suffering and destitute on the island will ho relieved ot present distress and probably secured from future privations by the means the president has employed , nnd that will be an Important achievement. 1'HllSOXAIi AMI OTIII'JIIWISB.

Tlio first thing It did after the Inauguration of the president wus to pass a tariff law. At that time there wts no precedent for a tariff law , yet congress formulated and pasjed ono which was approved by the presi dent on July 4 , and went Into operation In August. This UMB the second act parsed by congress , the first having been ono pre scribing the form of oath to bo taken by mumberH of the federal government. The third waa a tonnage net , by which , foreign veaiola bringing goods Into tbo United States were to pay a duty of DO cents a ton , while American veiselrt went to pay only 0 cents a ton. This discriminating act iu favor of American , shipping wes characteristic of a period when congrcea believed In legislating for American Interests.

The decision holds that no consideration Is deemed necessary as to tbo protests ot I'eter T. Johnson , in which he asks permission to renew his former application to make home- Mtead entry and also to file Valentine scrip In case the McKee scrip owners were sus tained. The samu disposal is made of the protest of George W. Strceter , who asserts a claim in himself under lila application to locate a military bounty land warrant and- also to make homestead entry on a portion of the land Involved , and who asks that he bo allowed to intervene and renew his eald ap plication in the event this olflce should de cide said lands to bo subject to disposal by the United States. The appearance of W. II.

The decision says : Private persons nnd eorporatlons claim nnd occupy the land uupHed for.For over forty yearn much ot this occupancy lias continued nnd extensive and valuable Improvements are uon the land. H embraces valuable lirlek and wooden buildings , used for resi dence , business and manufacturing1 purposes , and one of the parties pi-oles'tlng and con testing the application of the scrip owners Is the state of Illinois , through the com missioners of Uncoln park , In Chlcapo , who appear as the agents of the state. The llrst olliclal survey made of township 39 by the Land department of tlie United States was on June 20 , 1S21. This distinctly locates f ake Michigan ns the eastern boundary of the fractional section 10. north of the Chicago rv ! r , and the Chicago rlvor to bo Its south ern boundary , while the regular section lines bound It on the west and north. On 'May 17 , ISIIl. Hobert A. Klnzlc made pre. cmptlr > n cash entry for ' the lot or north frac. tjon ot section 10 of the township , containing 102 'acres.

Klnzlo is found an allldavlt by him. dated June 1C , 183ii , showing cultivation of and residence upon the land embraced In his entry , and plating that Lake Michigan Is the eastern boundary thereof. From f-vldenco on.c \ \ ' the conclusion is irresistible that the north pier has been the eausc of. some of the additional land made and now found to be a ii.irt of the main land and of the land In controversy. The scrip owners contend that the ICInzle bound ary was the survey line run west of shore line and that at the time of patent there remained vacant nnd unappropriated over plxtj' acres between these two lands , and that Klnzle's entry did not touch the waters of Like Michigan at nny point ; .that the I land ca.st of tlie survey has constantly In creased by the accretion to the extent of ICO acres ? , all of which Is vacant public domain. A e.-roful examination falls to sustain this contention. KITHS IX TI1IJVI3ATIIKIL IIUUKAl/ / . NIMV Ilui iir < nr liy Chief Miif > ro In WASHINGTON , May 2C , The most signifi cant development In weather forr-caullng for years , making It possible to forecast for a period of sixteen hours longer than at pres ent and more accurately , has been attained by the Weather bureau and Boon will bear practical fruit. This Is the ( result of ex periments with kites Down at distances of ono to two miles above the surface of the earth , which have been quietly conducted In thin city for Rome weeks. Dally readings have been taken at this altitude and the fact bus been established that tbo alilftlng of the wind occurs at a mile level abovu the earth's surfuco from twelve to sixteen hours before the same change ot direction OCCIIIH on tbo ftiirfaco. This Is due to the eamo forces which operate to cause wind uhlftu to pro duct ) a storm ; ono condition being dependent on the other. Secretary of Agriculture WIN son has -taken great interest In the experi ments , which were made by Chief Moore of the Weather bureau , and his consultallons with I'rol. Moore have resulted In the formu lation of a policy which will make weather predictions more valuable In the future , The most Imperfect part of weather fore casts now is the prediction OH to rain or snow.
