The s aleincut.i by the republican

the subject of etiru'iiry Ipglslntlon show
a diversity that tenders highly linpiob.t-
ble an ngrceincnt on any mcastiic for
rturoncj revision The clmlinuin of the
fonutilttcp , Mr. V ' .ilkcr of Mitisnohii-
settft , wjiuts a baiiklng system based on
assets , to which only one other member
of the. committee assented. Two of the
mt'iiibers declared opposition to retiring
the greenbacks and one member .said
retlti'inout should bu c.itetully dealt
with. Specific decimation for the gold
Ktandaid was opposed by two metubeis.

This U thu committee whose duty It

tnry Gage and also the plan of the mon
etary commission. It has given hear
ings to members of that commission in
explanation of their plan of cinrency 10-
vision and to the secictary of the treas
ury In explanation of his plan. Yet
there Is as gicat dhvitflty of views In
the committee now as there was In the
last congr ss and the chances of ngiee-
lug on a euirrnoy bill have not bu

The onlj excuse for emitting .smh a
slllj slur upon our state would be the
plea tint it was wiitteii between tliinUs.
The idea that in Xebi.iska evcty town
starts fiom a saloon , fiom which the
path leads to a newspaper , Is a .stupid
slander upon the stuuly pioneeis who
loiinded our NebiasK.t towns.
It Is eipi.illy scandalous to assptt that
In thi' giowth of Xebi.iska towns there
is a constant shugglo between tli
chinch and the saloon to equalize on"
another , iseoios ot low'iis in NebiasKa
have never had a saloon , while we doubt
if tlieio is one without a chinch. In
any OM'tit , the saloon in Xebiaska Is not
tin list to tlie ton-ground so piomiuently
as to Uneaten to displace the church ,
nor Is thete a disposition on the pait of
the people in towns whole saloons exist
< o make the saloon a chief lactor in their
giow tli.
X-brasKa editors/ire certainly intelli
gent enough lo repudiate the idea that

icclpioclty agreements with sevei.il
coiintiies that have Indicated a desiie to
enter into them , but the oidlnary ton
tine of negotiation Is slow , owing to the
gi eater diliicullles In the way than in
the case of pievlotis negotiations. It
Is stated that there are hardly any cases
in which the lepiesontntlves of foieigu
powers at Washington have bivn able
to tiausmit completed diafts of arrange
incuts to their home governments for
cnnsldeintlon and In .some of these
cases amendments have been .suggested
which ha\e imolved counter pioposi-
lions on the side of the United States.
None of the negotiations has yet icached
a complet > stage.
As yet there Inve been no ] iioposltloin
submitted relating to reciprocity with
Oeimany , although the subject has been
talked over iR'tweon the ( I'liuan am-
bissador and Special Commissioner
Kasson , while the negotiations with
Franco have made slow pi ogress. Doubt
Is expressed whether definite miange-
ments me completed with either of those
poweis , or with Austila-llung.tty or lel- !

The .Spanish government has slgnlllod a

The Ohio National ( iuaid association
In asking ( ongioss to grant tlio Cuban'
the same belllgeiont lights that wu
accorded to the confedoiacy , did not
coiisldoi that thete is a wide diltetenci
In th > cliciimstancos. At the very be
ginning of the southoin lobolllon a .slate
ol. war was conceded by the govoiiimonl
to exist and this being admitted the
giant lug of belligerent lights to the con-
fed nacj by loieign nations , of whom
Spiln was one of the llrst , was entirely
in accoid with Intel national law. It
was simply the recognition by othei
powets of what the United States gov
ernment had acknowledged. In the eas-
oi' Cuba , on the other hand , Spain h.in
not cono'ded that a state of war "xist- ,
theie and the conduct of Uie contest on
the pa it of the iiisiit gents has not been
such as to wMiranl this govoiument in
assuming , for the puipose of granting
belligerent lights , that there is a state
of war. The soil ol campaigning and
lighting cuil"d on by the insurgents , as
was pointed out by rtesldont Giant
during the piocoding insuiiection , dooH
not nocossaiilv constitute war. It is
obviously absuid to suggest a parallel
1)'tween the southoin coufedoiacy and
Cuba , the on- * having an oigani/od gov-
oiiimont and a well oqulpp'd aimy.
while the insurgents have m.ietloally no
