Members of congress who are open to

Not only does Oovernor Ilolcomb's

regretted not only by the many who
knew him personally , but by a. much
larger number who knew of him as a

produced. While always a republican
lie was not so strenuous a partisan as to
concur In cill party policies and h. ? held
very moderate views in regard to pro

opposed the McKlnley tariff. Mr. 15ut-

of sound money in the last presidential

Ills career was honorable to himself and

At the extra session of congress Sena
tor ICIklns introduced a bill to amend
section li02 of the revised statutes. It
provided for a duty of 10 per cent ad
valorem , In addition to the duties now
inposed by law , on- all goods , waves
ind merchandise Imported in ships or
vessels not of the United States and In
cases whore no duties are Imposed by
aw on goods , wares and merchandise
mported into the United States there
shall be levied , collected and paid n duty
if 10 per cent ad valorem on nil such
goods Imported in ships or vessels not of
the Unlt.'il States. The bill was re
ferred to the committee on commerce.
V discriminating duty of 10 per cent on
mportntions in vessels not of the United
States Is provided for In the Dingley
arifT , but it does not apply to Importa
tions In foreign vessels entitled at the
time of such Importation ; by treaty or
convention , to be entered in the ports of
he United States. The purpose of the
liscrlmlnatlng duty is to promote the
ipbullding of an American merchant
iiarine.
In a recent address by the president of
he National Association of Mannfac-
urers , Mr. Theodore C. Search , he ox-
iressiMl his disapproval of a diseriml-
lating duty , remarking that such dis-
irlmlnatlons wo have protested against
n the case of other countries and com-
nerdnl ruptures would piobably result ,
is the warmest friends of this policy
themselves admit and very likely bring
is much real harm. "There are many
friendly services , " said Mr. Search , "not
only in commerce , but in other fields ,
which OIK ; nation must ask of another
mil retaliation and tariff wars have-
lever proved , themselves to be good or-
irolltahle things In any country. Dis
criminating duties as a measure of re-
Iving our merchant marine do not
uoinlso n happy solution of the prob-
oin. " This is a .sound view , for ther
an be no doubt that such a policy as
hat proposed In the Klklns bill would
irove exeei'dlntfly troublesome and moiv
n * less damaging to our commercial In-
erests , while 'as there could be no as
surance of the permanence of the pert ,
cy It would undoubtedly fall of Its pur-
lose. What , then , shall be done for the
elution of this perplexing but most bit-
lortant pioblemV Mr. Search iinqnal-
tledly recommends mail subsidies and
muntlcs. He points out that this has
been the policy for many years of other
cuiintrKw and of England In particular ,
hat government having granted annual
subventions or subsidies to shipping
lues engaged In the foreign trade for
lalf a century. France , ( lermany and
tnly make regular appropriations In one
orm or another In aid of their merchant
shipping , France having been espe-
hilly liberal. To adopt this course , In
ho opinion of Mr. Search , "would give
Mir American shipping Interests what
Uiey Uavo always lacked and what all
other Interests In this country have for
many years past enjoyed , ji.iniely : pro
tection. We should thus avoid all pro.
tests nnd commercial rupture * that
would follow the discriminating duties. "

The olllee of city tax eotnmlsslone
was designed primarily with n view to
an equitable readjustment of the bur
dens of municipal taxation and lucl
dentally to bring the tux valuation ui
to a point where Omaha could make i
respeetabb comparison with other cille.
of its class. The raising of the vahia
tions of real estate nnd the Increase Ii
the returns of personal and corporate
property impose tlie duty upon tin
council to reduce the tax levy to tin
lowest ratio that will produce the reve
nue absolutely needed to meet tinclly'.s
expenses.
Tlie new assessment roll aggregates
nearly double the total assessment o
last year. The taxpayers of Omaha de
numd and have a right to expect that
the new levy should under no clrcum
stances exceed 1T mills. That can bo
done only by upholding the tax com
mlssioner In his assessment of the fran
chlsetl corporations which for years
have escaped their due share of the tax
burden through scandalously low valu
ations. Nobody wants to oppress nnj
corporation enjoying public franchises
or for that matter any other corpora
tion or Individual , but the spirit am'
letter of the law requiring uniformity of
taxation should be enforced without feai
or favor upon all alike.
P .v shifting the burden of taxation
upon the small property owners oui
municipal authorities have well-nigh
confiscated the property of the home
owners and middle class who are not
possessed of the Inlluence to get theli
issessinents modified to just proportions.
Unless relief comes this year to the
great mass of taxpayers by an equalisa
tion that cipialb.es , the now tax com
mission system will prove itself a costly
fraud.

While representative government is not
accomplishing as much for the people
continental Europe as for those of Great
liritnln and thcl American republics , yet
the surface Indications are In some
measure deceptive , and evidences may
be found of real growth of republican
ism. Corruption may ba found in high
places , the military spirit of ambition *
nonarchs may not have been completely
curbed , racial differences may still pro-
luce feuds and factions in parliamen
tary circles from vhlch riotous dead-
ocks result , but these incidents , discour
aging as thy arc to true republicans ,
do not prove that republican sentiment
s dying on the continent.
He-cent incidents show that the re-
Mibliean principle has a ( Inner hold on
he people of at least two leading coun
tries than ever before. In France , on
the approach of the parliamentary elec
tions , the duke of Orleans , who coin-
lines In himself the pretensions of the
bourbons and Orleanists , wrote a letter
vprlinaiiding his followers for their dls-
losttlon to foment disorder In the hope
of restoring the throne , and reminding
hem that "the duty of monarchists 1
o work wherever the-y can for the
triumph of ideas of order , of social pres-
-rvation and of liberty. " Thus the pro-
ender to a lost 'throne ' plays for popu-
ar favor by putting patriotism above
) ersonal advantage antV assures his fol-
ewers that the republic will live as long
is It fulfills Its mission.
In Italy an article has appeared In a
ending publication , alleged to liavo been
nsplrcd by the Vatican , denouncing-
nonnrchy and coinmciwling to the Ital-
ans a republican form of government ,
[ 'his doubtless does not mean that the
Catholic ch'irch Is to become the ehain-
ilon of republicanism in Europe , but it
it least Indicates that the support which
he church has given the moimrchs and
) relenders for centuries can no longer
ie relied on. Thus In both Franco and
taly republicanism Is making distinct
gains.
Tlie apparent inefllelency of represen-
ative government In Euroive Is due note
o any Inherent weakness of the repub
lican principle so much ns to imperfect
ppllcation of the principle In connec-
lon with the surviving monarchies ,
'he popular love of liberty Is every-
vliere stronger than1 ever. It cannot be
rushed out by pompous monarchs who
) east of their -power and talk of their
wn "hallowed persons. " The very
ggre-sslveness of absolutism is an
ssurance that the lire of rcpub-
Icanlsm will continue to burn more
n-lghtly In tlie hearts of the people.
If tlio new method of saving hogs from

Somw curiosity will be excited by the an
nounceiudi * . cf a new fedcratljn to be com
poacd of "Don't Worry Clubs. " It first appeared
pearod rather spontaneously in an costcrt
city and sccmn likely to receive cci oldora
lion. The articIcD of faith , ns far as an
nounccd , are to the effect that worry nukes
matters worse and should therefore bo d'a '
carded ; that courage and presence of niln.
should take Its place ; that amrng Us evllo
are a waste of vitality and Impairment of Uu
mental f.icultieu . and that where It is In
dulged happiness Is ImpcAvlblo. A now
member is Impressed with the duty of at
tacking worry as a cuaray , but ono that cai
bo driven out by persistent effort. Advice is
given as to cultivating a graceful spirit fcr
what Is possessed on helping and comforting
neighbors an ! overcomltvj cumltles anJ aver
sions. Mere or less of ere Is admitted to
bo the condition of existence , but the way to
meet It Is cheerfully and bravely , remem
bering how much of good t-hero In ki
life anil avoiding frctfulncss as en evil that
writes an unpleasant mcstuge on the face
lowers the health , narrows the mind ani
adds beyond mo'-suro to the weight of over }
burden.
Americans In general are of a nervous
temperament and may need some calming
Influence of this kind. Tnere Is no bettct
temperament when regulated , fcr one of itn
features Is high vitality. Some races and
nations heed nothing In the form of "don't
worry" organizat-lonu. The Turks tolte
things as they come- and are quietlstlc to a
degree. Theirs Is the apathy cf fatalism and
a civilization the world lias outgrown. The
lollander apparently never worries. Nature
M rewarded him with a solid physique and
a capacity for composed enjoyment. His
country la a model of peace , comfort anu
cleanliness , but Uien It Is mot very large.
\s the possessor of a whole continent and
.raveling c i fast trains Instead of canals
ils tranquil chaructcrlsMcs might change.
\Vorry la not unknown In England and
thcro are Frenchman who worry when there
d nothing exciting to worry about. But It
.5 understood that the new federation la In-
ended especially for Americans.
In establishing this order no doubt , the
act will be kept in view that there Is a
lohie discontent which always has and
always should effect the human mind ; -but -
another name for this is aspiration for that
vhlch is higher and better. It conduces to
mpplness and has no affinity to worry.
There are philosophers tell us that dls-
outent of the baser kind is due to a
hlmorlcal Idea frf the happiness of others.
Franklin warns those who are eager to be
omcthing else than what they are -that every
Ituation In life has Inconveniences , and that
be change mcst desired la often for the
vorso. Another dwells on the lack of order
as the chief cause of worry. A passage from
lelen Hunt Jackson will bo of service to
he new clubs : "Men call .fretting a minor
ault a foiblo- and not a vice. 'Hut ' there
s no vice except drunkenness which can
o utterly destroy the peace and happiness
f a home. " That Is a grave charge , but
o coutiovert It would be no easy task. A
ew club Is sometimes a new worrlmcnt , but
t Is hoped the variety just launched will
scape that result.

the superficial gifts and graces of oratory ,
but none of Its higher liitr-ltrctu.il or moral

He Iscks honesty , lie India truthfulness.
He- lacks knowltdse. He Is a deft spinner of
cfltchwords. of phrases that catch the oar of
the groundlings. His arguments are- tricks
ofcrhal prestidigitation
Kve-ry .spe-ech .he has ever undo on thi ! !
qiiMitan cinci- his theatrical debut before the-
Chicago convention with his erras of gold
and crown of thorns has been full of proofs
of the accuracy of this characterization.
Take- the one- delivered at the 1'coplc'a church
cci Wednesday the same- old oae which he
han rec ted from hundreds of plattorrr.i ] In his
peripatetic propagandlsm of free silver. " 1
propr.v . , " he said , "In show you that the
geld atundard Is larceny by law. " He * would
bring proof that would convince hu auditors
of this. Now , how did he prove It ? First ,
lie alleged in a rouridaboutviy that gold
had appreciated In va'.ue by reason of Its
reiat'vo scarcity , nnd therefore had Increased
in purchasing power. Hut where.3 \ Hie
proof that gold IMS appreciated In value ?
, Thnt Is the very proposition to be proved.
He quietly assumes the truth of the proposi
tion he- promised to provo and then affects
to have proved It.
And with this assumption that he lias
proved It by asserting It , ho noes on to say :
"We condemn , the gold utandarrl because It
Rlvra us a rising d-olMr" that te , a dollar
which has appreciated In value because of
Its oearclly end tlmi adds , as if he was
clmply giving another name to the Mine
thing , "a dollar of Increasing purchasing
power. I tell you ( bit a rUlng dollar Is a
il'ihoniY-t ' dollar. " Thus , by a trick of am
bidextrous word-shuinitiK , ho substitutes for
the original proposition , which Is universally
denied by his opponents , that the valueof
the dollar has been Increased by the scarcity
of gold , the far broader and In some re-spccts
entirely distinct and unrelated proposition
that the purchasing power of the tolMr has
Increased , which under proper limitations
mo one denies.
Xo ono denies It Is everywhere rccog1-
nlzod as one of the most beneficent advance's
of modern civilization that the purchasing
power of the dollar has Increased In refer
ence to many things. You cnn buy more
shore nnd clothes , more books and news
papers , moro light and heat and steel rails ,
and moro of a thousand things with a given
number of dollars today than could bo
bought with the same sum twenty-live or
fifty years ago. The luxuries of the rich have
become the ordinary comforts of the poor.
N'ot because gold has appreciated in value ,
but because , iu nearly every department of
Industry , ono man Is now able to do the
work of four or five , and In some cases of
twenty or moro men a generation ago. If ,
by reason of this vastly Increased e-lficiency
given to human labor by Its Increased coni
mand of the powers of nature , the poor man
can now purchase a suit of clothes or a pair
of shoes or almost any other manufactured
article for a third or a quarter or n tenth
of what the same things would have cost
him thirty or forty years ago , Is that rob
bery ? Is It larceny which now fills the cottage -
tago of the Intelligent workingman with car
pets and furniture and pictures and books
and musical Instruments and comforts of
every sort which were beyond the reach of
all but the rich fifty years ago , and in many
cases not purchasable with the wealth of
kings ?
If it Is through larceny that this beneficent
revolution has been wrought , who has been
robbed ? Not the workman whose skilled
labor is employed in the processes of pro
duction , fcr the wage of his labor la the
one ? thing that has not fallen. In ono sense
labor is the fundamental measure of values.
A given unit of skilloj labor commands as
many dollars on the average now as thirty
or forty years ago , while these dollars com
mand a vastly Increased quantity and range
of the comforts and luxuries of life. We
have in these two facts a complete demon
stration that it is not the appreciation of
gold which has reduced prices , but tlio in
creased elllciency ot numan labor.
And no ono knows this better than JUr.
Uryan. For no ono lias ever stated more
eloquently than he the stupendous progress
of labor-saving Inventions as the cause of
the reduced prices of most of the products
of labor. 'Hut that was 'before ' he took It
Into Ills head that the truth was not the

third of this amoiv.it. ThcV too , the imnunt

all that taxes In our county arc so excess

There Is nothing so damaging to a country
