That was a pertinent remark of Mr.
Dlngley's that the way to break down
tint Sugar trust Is to establish a beet
sugar Industry In every congressional
district. "That Is the way to clip the
wings of thu trust , " said the chairman of
the ways nnd means committee. It
must be perfectly apparent to every In
telligent man that we cannot have a
policy for the protection and encourage
ment of the domestic sugar Industry
without the trust at present deriving
more or less bom'llt from It. There must
bo protection for the rellner as well as
the grower of sugar. .Perhaps the pend
ing tariff bill gives more to the former
than Is necessary , but however this may
be we cannot build tip a sugar Industry
In the t'nltcd States and not protect the
rellnlng Interest. We ought not to wait ,
however , for the development of the in-
dttstr.v to break down the trust , If that
can be accomplished In another way. It
Is Impossible to say how many years
will be required for such an extension
of the beet sugar Industry here as may
be necessary to "clip the wings of the
trust. " but at nil events the popular tb'-
mand Is for legislation , If more be
needed , that will break dowiv this com
bination in file very shortest time possi
ble. It is tbe most rapacious and the
most dangerous monopoly this country
has ever had and Its suppression , if it be
possible. Is a matter of great public im
portance.

The fulled States senate has passed
the joint resolution authorizing and re
questing the president to take all neces
sary steps for the release of the Com
petitor prisoners Incarcerated In Havana.
A report In regard to these prisoners
was submitted to tlie senate by Its for
eign relations committee a short lline
ago , In which it was shown that tills
government has very strong reasons for
demanding of Spain the release of these
men , all of whom are entitled to the
protection of the United States. It was
set forth In this report that the treaty
rights of the prisoners had been wholly
disregarded and It was urged as an im
perative duty on the part of our gov
ernment to take prompt action In their
behalf. It seems to be umiucsiionabli-
that the action of the senate in this mat
ter Is fully justllled and therefore ought
to be at once concurred in by the bouse.
Tlie resolution involves no interference
In Cuban affairs , but simply proposes
that the government shall demand that
the treaty rights of these imprisoned
American citizens shall no longer be
violated.
Tlie other demand to be made upon
Spain Is for Indemnity for the death In
prison of Dr. Itulz. The Spanish gov
ernment sometime ago offered to pay tlie
widow of Dr. Unix 9-IO.OOO , thereby ac
knowledging tbe justice of the claim.
The tender was refused and a. demand
will be made for $75,000 indemnity , it
being understood that Minister AVood-
ford has been Instructed to Insist upon
this sum , which is certainly very mod
erate and cannot reasonably be objected
to by the Spanish government , which If
It has any sense of justice will pay
the claim without hesitation or delay.
It is possible that the action of the
senate may revive popular feeling in
Spain against this country , but we have
only to consider whether we are rlyht
in the matter and of this there seems to
bo no doubt. So far as the uovern-
ments are concerned the most trust
worthy information 'is that there is no
increased tension between them and no
indication of any impairment of friendly
relations.

It is reported from L/ondon to bo ex
tremely probable that England will
agree to participate in a conference to
consider the question of International bi
metallism. If tlie American commis
sioners have been successful In inducing
the Hrltish government to make so much
of a concession n conference ts assured ,
for other ICuropean governments will
follow the course of England. But there
Is some reason to doubt the authenticity
of the report , which may have no more
substantial basis than the statement
that tlie 1'rltish government was prepared -
pared to reopen the Indian mints to tlie
free and unlimited coinage of silver in
case France and the United States
should enter Into an agreement. I'er-
sons Interested in this subject who have
recently returned from England did not
gain the Impression while there that the
feeling in ollicial circles Is favorable tea
a conference , or that there is any ills-
position to make the slightest change in
the monetary policy of freat ! ISritnln.
One of these , a man well known In llnnn-
chil circles , said that the continued in
crease In gold production , the surplus
last year and this year of Hrltish In
come over expenditures and the contin
ued commercial supremacy of England ,
have tin1 effectof persuading Parliament
that the present coinage , currency and
financial system Is good , even though
there Is distress In India , lie expressed
the opinion that there would not be a
modlltcatlon of coinage or currency
laws so long as existing Hrltish indus
trial prosperity endures.
Still England may agree to a conference -
enco and assuming that she does no ,
what Is reasonably to be hoped for from
it ? Perhaps , as has been stiggonted , th- :
Hrltish government would make th ? con
cession of reopening the Indian mints to
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
and possibly of Inei easing tbo.usu of sil
ver as purl of tbe reserve of tiia Hank of
England. Hut how much real b'mllt
would this Ito to the cause of interna
tional bimetallism ? Possibly it might
have ( lie effect to temporarily advance
tin * prkv of silver , but this is by no
means certain , for It Is to | u ivmembeio. )
that silver declined before the closing of
the Indian mints to free silver In 180:5. :
Hut admit that a free colnaga agreement
between France and the United atates ,
with the reopening of the Indian mints ,
would advance the price of silver , It can
not be seriously believed that the 'white
metal would 1m carried to a parity with
gold. That cor hi only ba accomplished
by the. opwiin of the London mtntn to
free silver coinage In conjunction with
those of other European countries , India
and the fnltod States , and it is abso
Intely ceitain that England will not open
tliu Loudoii ailuta to silver. It may be
thought that nevertheless an Important
step would be gained toward Interim
ttonal bimetallism , but this Is somewhat
problematical. It Is conceivable that tb.-
situation might become more trouble
some and perplexing.
The American commissioners seem to
be performing their ditllcult task with
most commendable assiduity and un
questionably they have madea favorable -
able liupiesslon as representatives of this
itovernment , but It is to ba doubted
Whether what they have dour will have
any practical results favorable to Inter
national bimetallism.

And now comes County Clerk Hi'dfleld
with n list of suits to recover alleged
deliclts due from ex-county ollleers ,
which he says he Instituted for the bene-
lit of the taxpayers. Itedlleld forcibly
recalls the lly that Imagined It won mov
ing the wheel. The county clerk Insti
tuted the suits. Indeed ! The next tiling
we shall bear of every typewriter In the
clerk's otlice or lu the olllce of the clerk
of the court will Insist that he or slu-
Instituted thei suits because they copied
the petitions.
What has the county clerk to do with
Instituting suits on behalf of the county V
lias the Hoard of County Commission
ers abdicated its powers to tlie great
factotum and keeper of the ss'als and
eonsdencesY What has become of the
county attorney ? We seem to have
been laboring under the delusion that
the county attorney had soim-thlny ; to
do with Instituting the county's law
suits. Hut now we understand why we
want to enlarge the court house. For a
man of Kedlleld's dimensions it Is be
coming altogether too small.

The spirit and letter of the new city
charter contemplates the exaction of spe
cial qualillcatlons from every city otlicer
whose duties require professional knowl
edge or expert skill in their performance.
The city attorney must be a lawyer
familiar with corporation law. The city
engineer must be an expert in engineer
ing. Tlie building Inspector must be a
builder who has built something. Tlie
city electrician must be a practical elec
trical engineer. The health ollicer must
be a physician of tried abiljty. "While
the charier does r.ot in so many words
prescribe the qualifications of the lire
chief , no Hoard of Fire and Police Com
missioners would think of replacing
Chief Hcdell with a man who had never
served in a lire department or a man
who had been simply a stoker or driver
of a lire engine.
I low , then , can our police commlssion-
ets , who are sworn to give the city
effective police protection , consider any
man lit for tlie position of chief of police
who has never served on a police force
or lias at best filled only a position as
sheriff , deputy United States marshal or
spurious coin detective ? What right has
the board to jeopardize tlie lives and
properties of our citizens by experiment
with politicians who want to play chief
of policeat the public expense ? What
good would JU.cliijef of police be , wbo
has never had the direction of a dozen
men and who knows absolutely nothing
about the organization and discipline of
a metropolitan police force' ?
It is simply amazing that any
member of the police commission should
declare himself in favor of anybody but
an experienced ollicer. It is still more
amazing that a man like Judge Gregory ,
who has a life experience behind him ,
should bo quoted as justifying his
support of ths chairman of the demo
cratic state committee for chief of police
with the assertion that the best com
manders in the late.war of the rebellion
wore generals who enlisted from civil
life without any military education or
experience. Who were those great com
manders ? On tbe confederate side every
commander who attained distinction
during tlie war was a graduate of West
Point or a military college. General
Koliert E. Lee was a West Pointer and
colonel in the regular army at its out
break. General Albert Sidney Johnston
was a brigadier in the regular army.
Beauregard , Bragg , Longstreet , .Tosrph
E. Johnston , Stonewall Jackson and the
two Hills were all West Pointers , and
so were all the other famous confederate
commanders. On the union side , Scott.
Halleck , McClellan , Hancock , Grant ,
Sherman , Sheridan , Hooker , Burnwldp ,
Thomas , Meade , Ord , Augur , Howard ,
were graduates of West Point. On th"
other hand , tlie commanders from civil
life , with the exception of Logan and
P"rlmps one or two more , were failures
from the military standpoint.
The proposition to place the Omaha po
lice In the bands of any man who lacks
experience an a police ollicer and ap
proved executive ability is not merely
preposterous , but It Is an outrage upon
the community , especially In view of tlie
present demoralized condition of tlie po
lice and the demand for superior police
protection during the fast approaching
exposition. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Everybody In the wcsl favors the objects
which thti TransmUalrislppI congrws osten
sibly met to promote. The development of
Irrigation , the Improvement ot rivers and
harbor ; , Iho oxton lcn ot railroad communi
cation , the admUslon of the remaining tcrrl-
trrbs tost.itchonl a * early -M Is practicable ,
and the other schemes which the congress
avowed Us Intention to advocate , artall
worthy cf pr.ilso , and all will have Iho sup
port of every western resident. There Is no
poll ! Ira In any of these objrcts. llepub- '
lic.Tis , democrats and pnpullsta are all In '
favor of them. It was on the tin leratandlng
th.it the congreas was to restrict Itself
cldvl.v di such iinpartlsAii subjects as the ? .
th.n ri-prcscntntlves from Round money com- |
nunltlti3 permitted themsr-lvcs to participate
lu Its dellborallan' ! . When the congress ,
therefore , turned Itself Into < i meeting of
pilvrr boomers It was guilty ot a broach of
faith toward the anti-silver districts , which
one of' their representative1 * ! , Iho president
of the o.ngrcES , appropriately rebuked by
offering his resignation.
It oiiKht to bo plain to every sirulble
western man by this time that wivtorn In
terests cannot bo subserved by Unking them
with the silver crusade. This ought to bo
as clear to silver mrn as to their opponents.
Tha silver agitation , which Is responsible for
tlio greater part of the Ilia that linvo af-
llloto.l the country In recent years , has done
fir moro h.irm to the wrst than It has to
the ca.'t. As the nrst la hold to be a dis
tributing renter , for this folly the woat has
bun iKaeredlted. In n consld rab1i degree ,
In tlio eyes of the country , capital which
otherwise would have come to It has otayod
oway and other capital which was here '
has been withdrawn. The borrower hero ,
Ii3rf to pay higher rotes for money on that !
account , enterprise has been Impeded and i
the natural Increase in population , hujlncsi ,
and the value of property has been checked ,
while the silver Interest , which has born
the Inciting cause ot nil tlila disturbance
and dlsi-ter , has tint been benefited In the
faintest degree. Every ollvr-r man with the
s'lghlciU glimmer of reason In his enmpml-
tloii knows this to be. tru . Silver aRlta-
tlon In niiy shape Is foinetrrlno ; which.a !
west should take particular pains to cihun
at this time.

Accepting the reports of crop and fo
conditions fiom the west and northwest , the
muoh-talked-of "era of p-ospcrlty" has already
sot In without waiting for tin- long delayed
notion of eangrisH and the new tariff bill
Similar condition * are represented a * o.vUt-
Ing from Minnesota to the Pa el flu ccoat ,
though prsfilbly more marked In Nebraska ,
owing to Its larger population , its suffering
from drnuth In forme- years , and Its greater
acc-rstlbility to nn early nnrkot.
If the'return of prosperity has -como to
stay , the agricultural statc.i con'tltute the
Hold where It phould make Itself felt , though
it hc generally been expected to make Its
appoaranro fl-rst in the manufacturing dlh-
tilcta as a consequence ot the new tariff.
When the farmers are prosperous all other
hranrhea of business thrive- , from tint of
the imonrter to that of the retail dealer and
the local manufacturer. The settlement of
the tariff question , with the prospect that it
will remain undisturbed for three or four
years to come , should add to the prosperity
already begun.
The people not only of the northwest but
throughout the whole country have t.een
learning a lesson through the years of de-
prpsslon which may be of value to them in
the future. They have learned nt once
the necessity nnd value of Industry r.nd
economy. Many ot them , too , from the mere
force ot necessity , have relieved themselves
of burdens of debt which they had Incurred
In moro prosperous times with little thought
of consequences. The experience h.s been
severe , but when It has been parsed through
successfully It Is worth all it has oo't. The
fe-eling ot Independence and fielf-canfi.li.ice
It has Induced will enable them to avoid like
rerils In the future and achieve n-j.v and
greater successes.

In Kansas the report just published ot the
state bank commissioner is , according to
that oflicial , "the most gratifying report In
every feature of the banking business that
has over been made to the department , and
indicates an unlooked-for degree of prosper
ity throughout the state. " For the first
time In the history of Kansas the deposits
exceed the loans , and the excess Is some
three millions. A etlll more slgnlllcant in
dication of returning properity is furnished
In Kt-braska. The condition of that state Is
euc'i that the farmers are paying oft their
celebrated mortgages at a rate quite un
precedented. The agents of the shylocks
who have sent money there to Invest find
that they cannot Invest It , nnd that the
money already Invested Is coming back upon
their hands by payment. The total pay
ments of mortgages for the past six months
are estimated at $2S,000,000.
Mr. Rice a lending merchant of St. Louis ,
In an Interview In the Times de
clared that "prosperity can fairly be said to
have arrived all through the west. " As a
merchant of St. Louis ho la an especially
qualified witness about the conditions of
Kansas and Nebraska as well as Texas , and
his testimony Is of the utmost value. The
greatest source of danger to the future busi
ness would be removed If there were enough
of statesmanship In congress to take ad
vantage ot the period of prosperity the com
ing of which Is now assured to put it out
of the power of anybody to propose Juggling
with the currency when the next period of
depression occurs. With the currency taken
out of politics , we should remove the
principal obstacle to prosperity by removing
the principal cause of "want of confidence.
