The senatoilal contest of 1SS7 was not a struggle for power between tepub- lleaiiH and demoeiats , but a battle royal between the people and the coipoiate monopolies. The democrats In that leg- Islatnie mtisteied only a eoipoial's guaid and , like the lepubllcans. they were divided Into two camps. On one side \\eie the men who stood for a gov ernment by tlie people and for the people ple and on the uthei Hide a combination of monopoly henchmen , railroad attoi- nejs and eoiporation ereatmcs bought with boodle. With uhlch side was Judge Sullivan found ? Any ono who wants to know needs only look at thu photogiaphlc souvenir ptevened by Tobe Castor showing Ihegioup of railroad demociats who distinguished themselves by casting their votes against Van \Vyck HIM , last and all the time. It is tine that Van \Vyck was downed by the caucus organized by lallroad ie- publieans , of which Tom Majois was chairman , but that caucus would have been Impotent had the men who weie elected and Instiueted to vote tor Van Wyck lived up to their pledges. The legislatiue of 1SS7 balloted four da > s in succession before the caucus accom plished its pnipose. During all that time Judge Sullivan stood in with the cor porate eohoits , not because he was a democrat or because his party was com mitted against Van Wyck. but because he had secretly pledged himself to the monopoly laction& of both paitles to do all in his power to In hit ; about the over- tin ow of the man who was the people's clwlce for senator by an overwhelming majoiity. Sullivan was elected to lepiesent the people of 1'latte county and the vote for United States senator m 1'latte county stood 0711 for Van W.\ck. with only twehe votes against him. Tt may be silly prattle for The Hoc to point back to .Judge .Sullivan's betiayal of his constituency and it doubt lev. , makes some people weary to be le- minded of the tact that Hie democratic candidate nominated by the popullt-ts of Xebiaska was a chief factor in tlie de feat of the great commoner and through out Ids legislative caicer acted with the enemies of popular selt-government. Kor all that Judge Sullivan's iceoid Is a legitimate subject lor discussion at a time when he asks as a reward the suf- irages of tine anti-monopolists for n place on the supieme bench. muni IA j/jsmm ( * . The anti-American feeling in Germany is again indicated in thu utleiances of leading Keilin newspapers , some ot which show a decidedly vindictive spirit. The occasion tor these hostile manifes t.itlons was the icport that the United States had sent an ultimatum to Spain in regani te Cuba , the autlunitativo de nial of which repoit the Gerin.m editors , it seems , would not accept. They ought to have understood even without any denial , that this government would not , under piesent ciiciimstances , assume to IK a time when the Cuban war must terminate , with tlie alternative of inter vention if it weie not ended at the time fixed. Gorman editors must have a veiy poor opinion of Piesldent MeKlnley and his adviseis to suppose that they would adopt a com so which could baldly fail to pieelpitate the country Into war and which would also place the United States In an unfavorable position befoie the woild. Hut their i ejection of the authoiitativo denial of the leported ulti matum simply shows their eagerness to sel/.e eveiy oppoi ( unity to manifest their dislike of this country and to stir up popular feeling In Germany against Ameilca. This German hostility spiings hugely fiom commercial cousideiatlons. The dllTeientlal duty on Geiman sugar In our piesont tiuiff law , which the Ger man government holds to be in violation of tieaty , Is a soiuce of great dissatis faction and Is the chief support of the agiarian demand fora retaliatory policy lowaid Aineilcan piodncts. Undoubt edly theie are other leasons for the feelIng - Ing of hostility , for instance the fact this country attracts large nunibeis of thu young men of Goimany , but the chief icason Is coinmeiclal. Unques tionably if wo should sit Ike out of the tariff the differential sugar duly we should theieby secure the good will of Germany , but this would be at the sac- rillee of our own growing sugar industry and thus would be purchasing Geiman filcndshlp at too great cost. What fuither Injury the coinmeiclal Intuiests of the United States may siilfer from German hostility cannot be foie- seen , but this country has nothing to fear politically from German unfriendli ness. Whatever policy shall bu pur sued by the United Slates in respect to Cuba , it l.s entliely safe to say there will be no Interference on thu part of Geimany. That rnnnlry has no inter ests to pioteet in Curia anil as to ob jection to flip assertion of the Moiuoe docttinu by the United States , such In tel ests as Goimany has In this liemls- pheio will not suffer from that doctrine. The talk about a coalition of the big povveis of Uuiopo to inteivenu in the ureut of a war between the United States and .Spain is senseless. No such coalition could bo effected' ' and not even Germany , whose sympathies arc proba bly with Spain , would undertake to bring It about. Her own sons In this country would rlso In protest against any such Interference. Gorman hostility toward the United States Is u fact to bo regretted.

This gold is biought hole by New York banks and there Is said to be a great deal of Inteiest among dealers In foieign ex change as to the ellect It will have upon the Moiling exchange market. If It Is simply a speculative movement it prob ably will not last long , but there Is reason to think it has a moie substantial basis and that gold will continue to come for some time and In considerable quan tities. One clicumstanee favorable to this A lew l.s thu lucent advance in the minimum discount late of the Hank of Kngland. It will bo renienibeiod that two or thieo weeks ago London bankers expressed the opinion that there was not likely to be any huge shipment of gold fiom there to the United States , but It is evident fiom the advance In the discount rate that their view of the situation has changed and that they are now expect ing gold shipments to this country on a more or less extensive scale. It is not easy to see how it can lie otherwise in view of the large balance of ti.ule In favor of this countiy the largest , at this season , in our commercial hlstoiy. Ol comse all of this balance will not bo settled with gold , but theie Is evoiy icasou to expect that a consldeiable portion tion of it will be. At all events , gold imports are a sine sign of the gieat change that has taken place In trade conditions and thoiefoie a matter of notewoithy Interest. In leler ence to them the New Yoik Times le- maiks that they aie an Incident in the general Improvement of conditions which in ly confidently be reg.uded as relatively permanent.

City Attorney Conncll Is rustling up the necessary papers and prcparhiR himself for the trial of the civil suit aRalnst Hcmy Holla's bondimen Inhlch the city scrke to recover from them the amount of Uolln's shortage. The case Is set for trial the ( list week of the term , but It Is said the city may not bo In a position to proceed \\lth Urn case at the time , on Ing to the ab sence of Louis Wottllng ono of the experts who e\amlned Holln's hooks. Wcttllng has obtained a remunerative posi tion In Kansas Clt > , leaving the employ of the Omaha city government. Hxperts Julius Lembeclc and T. C. Uoo- llttle have arrived In the city and are pre paring for the trial. They are the experts cmplo > ed by Bolln's bondsmen , and their presence Indicates that the bondsmen ex pect to push the cas > o to trial , whether the city's experts are liero or not. Lembeck Is the expert who claims that WettllnK's fig ures , especially those concerning the ono Item of $77,000 , are wrong , and this Is the principal sum sued for World-Herald. The criminal coiispliaey by which the taxpayers of Omaha are to be loaded with the burden assumed by the bonds men of Henry llolln demands decisive action on tlie part ot the courts. It is as clear as tlie noon-day sun that "vVoUlIng has been bought off by a Ineia- live position In Kansas City , piocuied for him by parlies Interested In pievonting the city fiom roeovoiing on the Itolln bond. Why , otheiwlso , should any mer cantile concein in Kansas City M-IH ! to Omaha for an accountant and why should the choice fall upon the principal witness for the city In a case just about to be called for tilal ? Does not this hlgh-hiinded attempt to saddle the taxpayois of Omaha with the $100,000 embe77lod by llolln , and which his bondsmen agieod to made good , fully justify the dlstiict couit In instituting an Inquiry through a special grand jury that will go to the bottom of the LOU splracy and feiret out tiie underhanded methods by which the sureties of Itolln have managed to stave off the piosecu- tlon of the city's claim and make It Im possible to execute the judgment should It be lendeiod for the city ? Incidentally it may bo Inteiesting to ascot tain why Wottllng wns permitted to leave the state Without an attachment when his Inten tion to go away was known to the city authoilties , The taxpayers of Omaha coitalnly have a light to demand that their Interests be fully piotectod and that the law ofllcers of city and county exhaust all the re- souieos at their command to iccovor thu stolen money and bilng to Justice any man or set of men who employs unlaw ful means to sphlt away witnesses or In- torfeiu with tlie duo process of law. Thoiu Is n legitimate way of defending a suit to recover on an ollleial bond which Is open to the Itolln bondsmen and their attorne.vs , but the line must be drawn shaip at bribing witnesses , fix ing juries and subbhir/Jng olllcers who repiosont the city in the prosecution of its lightful claim , Then * Is a mystery sin rounding thu financiering of the State fair that tends to ictlect upon thu managers.

In each ca o the man who does not stand In pajs for the man who gets the re bate. The lobate system , on tlie other hand , while of no advantage to the In surance companies Is of no mote ad vantage to the public , and the companies ought to have the co-operation of the mass of Insurer * In any honest effort to repress It. The outcome of th > fight against paving and tepavlng streets in the very heart of the city will be a movement to do away with thu power of propelty ovvnois to obstruct and pievent iinpiovements and to continue public nuisances by withholding their assent. In some of the largest cities of the country the light to order pavements Is vested in the city authoiitles icgaidless of petitions or pio- tests. Kxpi'iieiice has shown that a we 1 icgulatod system of public Improvement cannot be established and maintained by tilisting to piopoity ownets to assume \oluntaiily burdens which they can evade even though their Imposition is an absolute public necessity.

Fremont Tribune The republican state platform condemns In emphatic language the defalcations of republican olllclals Hut the platform also places responsibility on Gov ernor Ilolcomb for his unfortunate delin quency In the matter. In this respect It differs from the platforms of the so-called "reform ' parties of Nebraska The leiileis of the fusionlsts , the sUtchousiU gang , havil shut their cies to the culpability ot ono ol their number. It Is probable that the sen tence imposed upon cx-TteaBUrcr llartley bj a republican judge will be carrleil out and enforced This will merely put Hartley In the penitentiary It will not restore to the taxpayers any of the money he stole. That must bo done by civil suit against his bands men. Here Is where the responsibility of Governor Holcomb enteis the case. Had the governor performed the functions ot his of fice as he ought ho would hive compelled Hartley to make an accounting to him foi the state's funds It Is well known that the principal part of the Hartley stealing .was donu during his last term , which was co incident with Governor llolcomb's first term The law gives the governor authority to call for a statement showing the condition ot the state funds at any time. Governor Holcomb was warned by men who knew that Hartley was going wrong , but he neg lected to lift his hand to protect the state against tl-o big defalcation which wafi then in progress. The governor's culpability ap- peirs again In the matter of approving a worthless bond. This Is precisely why the probabilities are very remote for recovering from the bondsmen iny stolen funds * It Is well In the midst of all this discussion of defalcations and official crimes of commis sion to remcmucr mere uru ui u uiniiu : of omission , from which the head and front of the statehouse gang cannot escape bis share of responsibility. And It ma > bo added that about $1,000,000 of Treasurer Meserve's- bond Is of this same flabbv sort , from which the state has alreidy so heivlly suffered Tim UNIMOUS MIMHI1TV.
