The position of Piosidcnt McKinley on
the question of cuueney icvislon Mi.is
been indicated only in Ills Inauguial ad-
diess and In the special message to eon-
giess leeommending a currency commis
shin. In the former Mr. McKInley ex-
pi essed the opinion that otn llnancl.il
system needs some revision , that the
\alno of our money must not f nil her be
thieatened and that it should all be put
upon an emlming basis , not subject to
easy attack nor its stability to doubter
or dispute , lie fin ( her said that in his
judgment tliH seveial foims of our p ipei
money offer "a constant emb ui.issnieiit
to the goM'inment and a sife bilanee in
the tieasuiy. " lie thought a s\stem
.should bo devised to icmed.v this , ' 'with
out diminishing tlie chculating medium
or oflei ing.i piomlum for Its contraction , "
but ho in god that not until adequate
lovenuo Is seemed can we "enter upon
such changes in our IKcal laws as will ,
while insuiing sifety and volume to 0111
money , no longei Impose upon the gov-
einment the necessity of maintaining so
large a gold leseive , with its attendant
and Inevitable temptation to specula
tion. " In the same connection he sug
gested tlie LM eat ion of a commission by
congiess to take under consideration the
i ( > vlsioii ot the coinage , b inking and cur
rency laws.
It Is now stated that the president Iris
modified his views and that expectations
of a stiong iccommendation for cmrencv
rcfoim in his annual message next De
cember me doomed to disappointment.
It is said that the president has dropped
iimaiks which plalnl.v indicate lh.it he
has no Intention of sibling up congiess
and the country by a icvival of the pel-
ennial money contioveisy , believing that
the plunge Into fiosh debate would
jeopard > ome of tlie goul ahe.idy ae-
c'oinpllslied in bilnging a letuin of pios-
perlty. lie Is said to have reached this
view In pait by his own study of the
situation and in pait thiough assmanccs
lecehed liom Senator Allison and
Speaker Heed that no cuirency bill which
would satisfy the business Inteiests of
the conntty could possibly get through
the pieseiit congM'ss. There may or may
not be substantial giound for this state
ment of the piesont attitude of 1'ieshlent
McKInley on this subject , but we shnnld
be veiy glad to ( Ind that It Is coirect. for
It nccoids fully with the view we have
lepeatedl.v advanced that a cnucncy le-
foiiu nglt'itlon at this time could do no
good and might do a great deal of haim.
In n political wa.v the demands of the
cuirency ivfoimoii me even now bi'liu , '
used against the republican paity , which
Is chaiged with c < inspiing | to destiey thj
givenbacks , and theie Is danger that this
dishonest accusation will Injiiie the
parly In some ijuaitern. lint it Is fiom
a hu.slnesi lather than a pulltlc.il pol it of
view that this question Is to be cotisld-
eied. The tide of piospeilty Is steadily
ilslng , lluanclal conlhleiuv Is ru-eslab
llshed , the levenues of the goveinment
aio Incieastng , money Is ( lowing In fiom
nbioad , the people and the business In
teiests have full faith In the curronc.v ,
Theie Is every icasun to expect g contin
uance of the.so highly satisfactory condi
tions until the full ifie.iMito of piospeilty
hoped for shall bo reall/ed , If the re Is no
intcrfcicnco with them fiom unsettling
and dUtuiblng agitation for now unat
tainable changes In our cuneney > ystom.
If It bo tine that President MoKlnlcy
lias concluded that the time Is un-
piopltlous for pressing cuirency reform
and that we should "make haste slowly , "
as ho said In his Inaugural addiess , ho
shows good practical judgment. There
are one or two things in rcgnid to the
cnneucy which might be done at once
without causing any disturbance and
which would be generally bMiellchil , as ,
for e.xnmple , providing for a better ills-
trlbu'lon of binklng capital nnd clrculn
tlon , but the revolutionizing changes
risked for by the so-called cuireiicy re-
foimeis are neither | ) iaetlcable nor nec
essary.

The retention of Dion ( Jernhllnp In the
employ of the exposition Is a dellance of
the overwhelming public sentiment de
manding his dismissal. Whether this
aversion to Gcialdlno Is well grounded
or not , the belief Is geneial that he Is
standing In with contiactois and has
Miuounded himself with suboidinates
moie or less In collusion or partneishlp
with con tract in x ami concesstonahes. lu
other words. Geialdlne does not possess
the conlldeiice of the community , and
Is dlsti listed by a large majnilty of the
stockholder The fallmo of the execu
tive committee to compel ( leialdlne to
live up to the i tiles and the connivance
of President Wattles with Geraldine'H
high handed and questionable methods
has done as much to weaken populai
confidence In the exposition nunigomeiit :
as has lioiahUno's misconduct.
These facts , however unpleasant , stare
the exposition dlioetory In the face.
There Is no time to be lost. 1'ubllo con
lldeiice must be lestoied without delay.
I'nloss Geraldlne teslgus , th , boaid
slum hi remove him as a matter of neces
sity as well as of economy. And his
lemoval should be followed piomptlj b.v
thoiough icinganlxation.
The only way to make the exposition a
suece.ss Is to keep the seatclilight of pub
licity constantly tin nod upon Its man
agement. The policy of keeping things
daik. which has pievalled under Goral-
( line's automatic leglme , miibt be aban
doned. All transactions Involving letting
of contiacts , pin chases of mateilals and
employment of .silniled subnidin-itos
must be open and above boaid. The
boa id of dhectois and stockholders must
be taken into the conlldeiice of the man
agement. There must be no sinecme.s
and no nepotism. Kveiy man paid out
of the exposition funds should bo com
petent to do the woik for which he is
hlied and ha\e no pait or Inteiest in any
contiact or concession gi anted by the
exposition or any exposition contiactor.
Unless such n policy is puistied the
exposition management can have no
right to expect substantial aid or co-
opetathm liom the stockholdeis 01 fiom
the public. _

Associate Justice Stephen J. Uield of
the supienie couit of tlie United State ? ,
who has had the longest tcim of service
of any niembei of that tiihiin.il , Is to ie-
tne. Kejmitsot his intention to do this
have been cinient fur seveial yea is , for
he has bien eligible under the law to 10-
tliement since ISSli , but the vetoi-.in
Jni 1st not onlj liked lib. duties , but he
had nn ambition to exceed the length of
sen lev ot C'hlef Justice Maishall on the
supreme bench , whkh loveied a peilod
of thlity-four yeais. Justice Kield was
aiuiointed In 1S ( " ! and on August Ii ( last
completed the longest teim In the hlstoiy
of the lonit.
Justice Uield Is neaily SI ytain old and
within the last year or two the ph.vslcal

giown rap'dlv ' upon him. lie has b'conie
vciy feeble and his heating Is much I in
paired , so that - had become Incapicl-
tatod for lurther HOI vice. .Iiistlco Kield
has made n leioid as a juilst which will
honoiably poipeluate his memoi.v In thv
history of the gieat tiibimal of which he
Is a member. If his caioor has been
less ilbistilous tlian tliat of sumo otheis
who hive sat upon the supnme bench , it
is to bo said of him that he has been
faithful to his trust and thioughout his
long sen lee has maintained the high
diameter nnd the dignity of his position.
We leenll no clriunistnnce that lellected
upon his Integilty or showed hm ! want
ing In a Just appreclaiur , ! of his oblka-
lions us n Judge , lie has bi-en one of
the stiong and commanding llguies of
the loiemust Judicial tiibimal in the
W ( II 1(1. (
Theie seems to bo no doubt that At
torney ( Jeneial McKenna will sucieed
Justice Kield , as the appointment will
naturally go to the Pacltle coast. Judge
McKenna bus had uxpeilcncc on the
honch , having icslgned ns Judge of the
United States dicult couit In f'allfornla
to r.eeipt the iiosiilon of alt uvey gone al.
Ho is full ) qualified for a place on the
supreme bench and his appointment
would bo gonoially acceptable.
A popociatlc oigan is ti.vlng to explain
why Nebraska state wai rants were nt a
discount last 5ear and why the.v com-
iniiiul par this > enr , Ua'orybndy familiar
with Hnanciul conditions In Nebraska
knows tlio reason why. State w.urants
went to a discount during the years of
dopiosslon because the throat of free
silver repudiation destroyed thu coull-
donco of Invrstors. and the defanltltiK
state ttonsurcU vlth the tndt assent of
the govcinor,0ii > ! iled the state funds for
the pilvate pioiit nt himself nnd favored
bankers. Stale warinnts hnve gone to
par because th-1 ? election of McKInley
and the defeat of ( he free sliver folly
have restored confidence nnd enabled
the people IIMMU taxe.s with which the
wai rants may bo redeemed.
He fore tlie j'mp'ldlsts ' ncqulred control
of the stnte govoiument they could
scarcely pass , a eanventloii without ar
raigning the republicans for keeping so
many sinecure ollioois on the state pay
roll. The chief point of attack vvns the
do nothing soorelailes of the State Hoard
of Transpoitatlon , who were regulaily
denounced as useless appendages. Hut
not n single state olllco has been abolished
ished by the populist administration.
The tluoe ? ' , ( ) ( ) a-year secietailes of
the Mate board ate still busy drawing
their p-iy , but they -are lallioad popo-
cuits now Instead of nillroad lopublleaus
as lorineily. Itefortn In piactlce and 10-
form In piofessioti are two enthely dlf-
feient things.
The sllverito political meetings nr-
langed throimhout Nebiaska b.v the fu
sion state committees aie falling Hat in
many Instances , having to bo declined
off for lack of nttendance. The fanneis
of Nebiaska aie too busy at woik to
waste time listening to calamity speeches
or to any speeches for that matter. The
logic of events Is the most powerful ar
gument that can be used on them this
year.
The county board should give .seiiou
coiisideiatlon to tlio proposition to en-
huge the couit house sijuaie b.v the ac
quisition of the Mm lay tract on the
south side. The ptoscnt commissioners
could do nothing that would be so sure
to make their 'admlnlstiation ' foiever
memoiable as taking steps tliat would
lead to the accomplishment of this im-
pioveinont.
Omaha wants the 1SHS convention of
tlie National Educational association , and
was the choice of the lank and tile as
well as ol the governing body of the

mitted to undctestimate OmahaV claims
or to doubt its intention and ability lo

Tliat Indian supply depot fet Omaha

Under the stimulus of a light protective

for homo consumption , hut it U difficult
to nee where we can find a market for Its ex
portation , in view of the overproduction of
sugar In Germany and Franco , and that by
mi 3ns of a premium on Its exportation the
producers of those countries are enabled to
sell 'it abroad at a ICES price than they can
afford to cell it for at home. Mr. Wilson
la making commomUblo efforts to promote
the realization of his prophecy The Agri
cultural department , since lie was put at the
head of It , has sent sugar beet seeds to 22,000
farmers In twenty-seven states , and is now
receiving beets from those farmers for an-
alysls. The results are stated to warrant
the belief that the production of the sugar
beet will lie a profitable iutluJtry la all the

The amount of goo-1 boVig done by the
present commissioner of patents In refusing
to permit Incompetent and unscrupulous pcr-
Roiu to practice bcforo the patent olllee
is Immeasurable.
Neat I ) all Inventors are obliged to eui-
ploj sn at'orno ) to prepaie and prosecute

MoiiiJ for light and fiUnions leasons and
without rcgarJ t tha fact that the In

el ly rebuked by tlio Colorado court of ap
peal * The case considered by thu court was
not ono In \ < hlch any < ; m'8tloii of labor was
InvolvrJ but arose out of an ordinary cor >
tentlon wherein a lo.ver inurt Issued an In
junction for no other rraspn presumabl ) than
the fact that cno of thu parties pru > ed for It
The court pertinently said "We can
not approve a vnt'lcc IT subscribe to a
doctrine that permits the exercise by a
court of the extraordinary power cf In-
junctlve relief for every wrong nr In
fringement of ( ho rights of another Such
a courbu of procedure , If carried to UK
ultimate natural conclusion would tend
entirely to subvert the fundamental prin
ciples upon which our y < tem of la us is
founded "
In Illinois courts preoume as iratter of
course to lire their paper writs at a munic-
Ipallt ) , disregarding thereby the funda
mental difference which exists in the
branches of the government the judicial ,
the executive uul the legislative Such
writs are often Uvucd without notice to A
municipality. "While Oils tendency needs
otalwnrt rcbukn It Is not nearly to darKorous
ns the subversion of the ftindnniontnl civic
right of trial by Jury when chancellor

of n mutter of controversy between labor nnd

to lake- the matter of punishment into his

person against whom n writ Issued sent to
jail for n period by a ihnncellor. whereas Oio
civil case ngnhist him wan never brought to
trlnl Such n case Is ono of judicial
trannny
The court In Colorado sajs further , and
nil judges ought to lay the matter to heart
"U by no menus follows tlmt A writ of In

would bo an Infringement upon the rights of

tlamago might be serious "
It Is n fault of the administration of law
In this country that too tunny "kindly dis
posed Judges" tiio easily had when tlio peti
tioner Is a corporation of wealth nnd Influ

Let chancellors remember ono of the baile
maxims of equity , that thcio cnn bo no relief

found nt Inw. The Colorado court sis ford-
bl ) "Tho damage , If an ) could bo expected ,

Hint there vvns not n complete nnd adequate

The tendency In this country of chancel

Dun's Review for October affords much
matter for the thoughtful consideration of
business men. This statistical Indicator of
trade conditions makes the srntlflng an
nouncement that the commercial failures foi
the last ( inntor weie the smallest In the
aggregate "of an ) quarter sinre the third of
1892 and the smallest of any quarter for fit-1
teen ) eirs excepting six quarters , Including
ono In each ot the ) ears 18SV1SS' ) The total
oommpTial fallmes were 2.SSI , with llablll
ties amounting to $25,601.188 It Is worth
noting also , that the avenge ot liabilities for
each commeiclal failure. $ SSSC , Is stated to
be the snullest In any qnuter for twentj-
three ) cnrs although tlie average for the first
quaiter of 1SSO vvus not far from It , with
? S922
Continuing nun's Review * as-
"IIovv little comfort or useful Information
can be drawn ft am accounts which compaie
the nine months of each vear may be in-
feired from the single fact that the fallurcb
for tlio third quarter wore little- over one-
fourth those of the llrst half , of the ) cm , but
the corier-tcd statement of falluics for nine
months , ! ) 840 in number , with liabilities of
$ i7.)00-lr : ! ! ) l , exceeds that from auv other
source by thlitcen failures , and $11lf ! > 7T2
inamount ot liabilities. Conimciehl lathnes
cnly , exclusive ot banking Institutions , vvhkl
other statements embrace , were 0702 In the
nine months with liabilities of $117 293 97r
"While the comine clal liabilities foi nine
months show a decrease of 1.0S1 in nunibi"
from list jear and about J34 000000 in llablll
ties the comparison gives no Instiuetlon. be
riuse bst jeai's third quarter was exccp
tlonallv bad exceeding nil Imt sK quarters
in thlit-two ) ears , while the quarter this
) eai is oxceptlonall > grod Then the com
mo c.'al failures amounted to $73 2S5 349 for
tlie quaiter , but this ) ear are a little over
a third as much Manufacturing failures uer <
then considerably over three times ns lirge
AS those of the past quarter , trading failures
much HID o than tw Ice as large , and othei
commeiclal , as well as banking , were not
far fiom four times ab laige "
Hetwecn quarters so opposite In character
compiiison only serves , according to Dun
to place in strong light the gieat change
vvhlon has come In the condition of bu&lncEs
It must bo noted that of the decrease in the
amount of liabilities , $17,084,000 ovei ? JO-
000.000 vis In five central v\ebteru btite *
a.id over $15,000,000 in three middle stitcs
the decrease In the former being 80 per cent
and In the Jitter over CO per cent of last
) oar's llaUlllies. "As these eight s'ates
sas the Review , "report this ) car little
nioro than half the defaulted liabilities and
last ) cir -icarl ) 70 per rent of them , Inc
clungo in theli condition Is remarkable , but
the southwestern states B'IOVV a decrease of
near ! ) 7i > per cent , the vvc&tcin over CO. the
southern over 55 and the eastern over 10
per cent "
Whllo the September failures were larger
than those of August or Jill ) , they would
have been smaller. It is stated , than those of
August or any other month but two In four
) oais but for five brokerage failures four In
New York and one In Chicago for $2.2. > 0,00a
In a1U The manufacturing failures only $ T -
315,917 In amount , have been a little smallei
In July and three other months of the past
four ) ears nnd the tiadlng failures , $1,514-
891 , have been smaller In Jul ) and August
and ono other month of the past four years
In comparison with last ) ctir both as to
amount and average of liabilities , the He-
view finds tlio Improvement bo general as
not to require detailed comment
By many comparisons the Review shots a
great Improvement In business during the
past elx months , and , coming fiom so au
thoritative and conservative a source , the
statements are both granting and Impor
