Hut can the World-Herald explain why

loaned to the. owners of the worm-eaten
political fence ? How does It come that
Mr. Hartley has during his trial held
several eoitlideiitlal conferences with the
chief owner of the World-HeraldV IH
the current rumor true that purl of the
Hartley shortage Is traceable to the re
form concern thai , bravely lights , hone-si

It IM true thai in ] S ! ) : > the World-Her

Holln as city treasurer of Omaha. It Is
also true'Unit The Hoe supported Mr.
Holln's candidacy , believing him , as
ovcry onu else believed at. that tiino , to
be perfectly honest and trustworthy.
Hut after Henry Holla was found to
li'ivo betrayed his trust and had ad
mitted ids guilt , why did the World-
Herald braxenly assure the people of
omaba that there was no shoitnge what
ever In Holln's accounts and tluit he was
an honest man' . ' Was It li-caiiM1 at that
very time the cash drawer in the city
treasurer's oliice contained a memoran
dum slip of public money advanced by
l.olln to the owner of the political fence'/
Or was It because Mr. Holln had bson
one of the oliicers of the bunk through
which Hartley , the republican state
treasurer , had accommodatingly come to
the rescue of the great reform organ ?
All the squirming , till the contortions

,1 QPKSTIOX OF TK/MOlTr.
.Senator Allen has given an importance
to tliu attack on Mr. Hryan by Prof.
Hateman , the leader of the Maine mid-
dle-of-tlie-road populists , in referring to
the matter in the senate , which it would
not otherwise have possessed. 1'rof.
Hatemnn charged that the proffer of
? lr > 0 < ) by Mr. Hryan to the populist na
tional committee was made on condition
that no action against fusion should lu
taken by the people's party before the
next national convention , lie also
charged that Mr , Hryan was guilty of
"political forgery" in placing the name
of liateinlin to the letter of ivitillcatian
in Hryan's book , he never having signed-
the letter , but on the contrary refus''d
to do so and repudiated the sentiments
of the letter.
Senator Allen pronounced the stat--
niont of Hatemnn regaldlng the con
tribution false and the testimony of Sen
ator Hutlor , chairman of the ponnllst
national committee , was to the Manu
effect. Tlio proffer of siwas ( ) imi'li ?
and declined , but Hntler says thi're wayne
no such condition attached to If as al
leged. Mr. Hryan explains the ne of
Hateman's mime by saying that he
found It .signoil to the letter of ii'itllU-i-
tion as published in ilie ncwspttpcr .
Hatoman makes it response in which ho
does not ictVr t < nhecontribution , though
he has promised to present the whole
matter to the attention of the national
conference of tlio mlddlo-of-the-roitd
populists which meets in Nashville
July .
There Is a question of voracity in
volved and the evidence Is unfavorable
to Hateman , but he may be able to make
a stronger showing Inter on.- Meanwhile j
II Is Interesting to note that there Is a
very strong tendency on the part of llu-
middle-of-the-road ' have
- - - populists to'
nothing mole to do with Mr. Hryan and
to resume Independent position they
held before the fusion of last year. Till , '
tendency is likely to bu very much
strengthened by the coming national
conference.

The representative of a number of
commercial associations In Japan whe
lms come to the I'lilted Slates for the
purpose of advancing. If possible , the
trade relations between tin- two coun
tries , says that the Japanese prefer ( >
trade with this country rather than with
any of the Kuropcan nations and expressed -
pressed the opinion that a larg. > recipro
cal trade migilt very easily bu hull ! uu
between the two nations , He said that
as a riiK the Important products of
Jaji'.in do not in any wayconlllct with
American manufactures and he could
sou no reason why the- trade of both
countries ronld not bo greatly extended
to their mutual advantage.
Some. conocsMun was madn to the
products of Julian by the senate a few
days ago and It seems to bis settled that
the proposed duty on tea will not be
imposed. It Is of course desliable to
cultivate trudtt wlUi tint OrluuUl coun
tries and particularly with Japan , whose
enterprise and progressive spirit will
make her n generous customer of any
country that wins her trade , but wo can
not reasonably lip expected to seek that
trade by sacrificing any of our own in
dustries. For example , the free admis
sion of Japanese matting would proba
bly result In destroying , or at any rate
In greatly damaging , the domestic In
grain carppl Industry. Wo also have a
silk Industry that would suffer from
oriental competition If not fairly pro-
tcclod. Wo ought to take care of these
homo Industries , In which our people
have largo Investments and which em
ploy n great deal of Inlror , oven at the
risk of lo lim some Japanese trade. It
In pot HUely , however , tlmt In any event
tlio Japanese wlll'dof-llne to do business
with this country If they lind It to their
advantage to buy what they need hero.
If wo can supply them machinery nnd
other things iliey require of as good
quality and nt as favorable prices as
any other country undoubtedly wo shall
have our share of their trade , wln'ther
wo make tariff rates on their produ-ts
high or low , so long as wo do not make
the rales prohibitive. Commercial rela
tions are not determined by sentiment ,
though that may exert some Inlluenco ,
bill by praellcal considerations and thu
"Yankees of the Kast" are quite a < much
subject to such considerations ns any
other people. While , therefore , we
should do nothing to repel Japanese
tr.ulo , we are not likely to lose any of
It by taking proper care of our own In
dustries.

The political campaign In Iowa thlt :
year will not bo without Interest , al
though republican success may safely
be regarded as assured. Two years ago
the republican plurality was over rv.i.Olio
and last yeai' It exceed.'d ( . " . ( ) ( . There
IH reason to believe that the republican
party in the Hawkeye state is stronaer
today than It was last November ami
the action of the so-called d"inocratie
state convention can hardly I':1 II to In
crease still further its strength before
nrxt November's election. It Is simply
recognizing the sound common SOIISLof
a majority of the voters of Iowa to as
sume that the conglomerate ticket nom
inated at Dos Moines and the prineipleu
eimiiolati'd there will be overwhelmingly
repudiated at tlio polls.
The ticket is the most extraordinary
in its composition ) ever presented to tlio
electorate of a state. It is made up of
two so-c'll"tl ! democrats , two silver republicans -
publicans and one populist. Here an >
ropro "iited three political element *
which are in full agreement as to
nothing except the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at Hi to 1. Such a
ticket cannot comnnnd the full sup
port , of either of these elements ,
and ospwially will it fail to
command the support of many of
those democrats wTio still believe
in maintaining their paity dis
tinction , not only in name , but by plac
ing in noirinaliou only tried and true
rcpros-Tiitalivos of democracy. 'Such
deinocrats cannot alllliate with or lia\v
faith In silver republicans , and l > opulsN !
ami while they would not ivjoet tlie
-.sslstanco of thfse political elements in
electing democrats to ofllco , they do not
\\mt : tliem on a- ticket labeled demo
cratic. Already there ! s defection in
the populist ranks and it Is safe to nay
that all tlio free stiver republicans will
not support the entire ticket.
This remarkable combination i-sally
stands for nothing but free silver and
the spoils , for although the convention
declared devotion to Hit * principles eiinn-
chitod in the Chicago platform there can
bo no doubt that , thf free silver repub
licans do not endorse that platform in
its entirety. If there are any who do
they have no right to call themselves
republicans. Free silver wns fully and
fairly presented to the voters of Iowa
last year. They beard it thoroughly
discussed and they bad ample time to
deliberate on the subject. Hy a repub
lican plurality of more than < ! . > ,00 < ) they
rendered their verdict against free sil
ver. Only a few other states rejected
the heresy more overwhelmingly. That
verdict , domonstiatod that the farm-M--
of that great agricultural slate bollov
'
in an honest dollar and what they
thought on this subject last Novomb.T
th-y still think. The f-.rmors of lowi
are as intelligent as thof'e of any otlr r
slati ! ! n th < > union and they are not to
be caught by the free silver delusion.
Moreover they are honest men and have
no desire lo repudiate thuir honest ob
ligations. They know , too , that whih1
business conditions aiv not all that could
! > . > desired , It is mil true that since thf
presidential election they are marketing
their products at a less price than ev-'r
In-fore.
There need bo no doubt about the re
s' ! 11 of tint ( ilccllon In Iowa this yoav.
That state will continue In the repub
lican column , because a large majorllv
of Its voters believe In the protection
of American Industries and In the main
tenance of a sound currency.
What has bvcomo of the World-Her
ald's false and malicious chaige that
County Attorney Hnldrlgo could not be
depended on to do his duty in prose
cuting Hartley ? Have not the da'ly
proceedings of the tilnl and thu verdict
of the Jury convicted thu World-Herald
of making groundless accusations
against olllcers who have b.H-n fearless
In the enforcement of the law ? Yet
when It llmls that Its baseless outcry
was altogether without jnstillcatlnii that
sheet has not the decency to make ac
knowledgment of the services ren
dered by Mr. Haldrlgo In bringing Hart
ley to the bar of justice.
Hawaiian annexation Is not to ho ac

allow n jirei'iilent to b < sut In this ease
wit lion t making their positions perfectly
clear.
There Is uo use speculating whether
Mr. Hryan would have vetoed a tariff
o : ; wool or not , Mr. Hryan is com
mitted lu 1'u.vor of lice wool , but as
President IjJifliloy Is the man whose
signature wTf [ nike * the tariff bill effect-
Ire as law , n reasonable wool schedule
Is sure to bo enacted.

Ohio republicans have declared In'

Democrats are Just discovering the exlr.nt
to which their party was levolullonlzuil at
tlio Chicago convention last year. Many who
gave free silver a reluutant support were
Induced to go that fnr by the plea of regu
larity. Now It lwi revealed that the old po-
illlon on the tariff was BO changed by the
committee on jilatform that protection was
not excluded frtfin' ' ! ! articles of faith.
In the light of Hills' evidence , In addition to
what was ncct/rnlilaled / before , every demo
crat of long 'etaniAng must sco that the
party was seized' ' M' Chicago by outside ele
ments and Bifb Halted with surprising au
dacity. The oKVuldiik on Bound money was
reversed , and tlm * m "a tariff for revenue
only" was radically and deliberately changed
by the omiigloDiof1 the "only. " There were
other planks n'etJr before embodied In a
national dcmociallc platform. Former land
marks were rolhlt'Piy swept away in Chicago
cage , and If o neW' party was not born there
It Is certain that an old one lost Its prin

In the northwest some Interesting work
his been mapped out for this oummer and
fnll under the direction of Dr. Smith of tno
sclrntilic bureau. The study of the condi-
tlotvi In thp Columbia basin , with especial
attention to the biological features , will be
eoutintied. Some years ago It was found
Hut the salmon did not run In the upper
Columbia , ns formerly , nor in Its tributaries ,
like the Snake1 river. Investigations were
nipilp to ascertain whether this wns duo to
obstruetinns in the river , but rin impediment
were- found that hnd not always existed. Tlio
fnllnro of HIP salmon In tlie tipper Columbia ,
It was cnndii.led , was due to the multiplica
tion of fish apparatus on the- lower Columbia
and the enormous rntch. This year some
Interesting biological investigations will be
made at Wnllnwa lake , in northwestern
Orocon , nnd nthnr rerlrs of Investigations
on the chain o ( lakes , beginning with upper
Klamath and extending eastward through
central Oregon , Including Summer , Albert
and other lakes. These waters have never
been Investigated and It is not known wl t
fl h they contain. It Is believed to be only
n question of time when they will become
very valuable as sources of food supply anil
the scientist is tn determine what species
the water Is to I > P stocked with.
The United States fish vessel Albatross ,
which lias been In the past six years en
gaged in patrollng Ilerlng sea nnd the In
vestigation of the seal rookeries , will this

It will be equipped and go to southeastern
Alaska to Investigate the renditions on the
salmon atream/i and make n systematic sur
vey of those waters.Vast quantities of
salmon are being taken from those streams
by the fishermen nnd unless adequate legis
lation for the protection of those fisheries Is
soon enacttd they will be exhausted. One
of ttje objects of the expedition to to study
these conditions , with a view to inaking
recommendations to congress.
