Some measure of the offenslve tiess of Odellisiu should be afforded, even to its chief representative, when so many disgusted citizens could in comparison be driven to e-otue degree of toleration even for Ilearsiism.

The Joint conference of the legisla tive board of the American Hankers' association and of the representatives of the New York Chamber of Com merce, by agreeing on the general proposition for such change of the na tional bank laws as will permit banks to Issue credit currency of their own, takes a step In advance, but a step far from conclusive. It may be effec tive so far as to raise the question for real discussion among bankers as a class, and, what is even more im portant, among those outside of the banking business who will largely in fluence public, opinion, but hardly so far as to control congressional action i at the coming short session, unless it gives a more powerful impulse to pub lic sentiment than veems at all likely. . A material point has unquestionably been gained in inducing the Chamber of Commerce representatives to forego Insistence upon their scheme of a great central bank on the model of the Ger man bank, with similar powers over issue and rates, because insistence on that would certainly have hopelessly split the conference. The central bank idea involves such diametrically op posed convictions within the rank of bankers themselves, and such revolu tion in our banking and currency sys tem, that the discussion provoked by it would be wholly polemical and would nullify Instead of promote prog ress towards a solution of the prac tical problem. The narrow escape of the conference from division on this point and Its decision to restrict rec ommendation to a most general state ment of principle, leaving the whole field of method and detail, pj.cn, sug gest once more the unfortunate ir resolution of opinion among bankers, considered as a class apart, although it marks some progress when such a representative body can be brought to agree even in a general statement of principle for securing greater cur rency elasticity. As to that, however, their constituency, the bankers of the country, among whom such diversity of judgment appeared at the recent St. Louis meeting of the national as sociation, is yet to be heard from. It thus remains to be seen bow far their views can be reconciled with .the gen eral recommendation of bank credit circulating notes, unaccompanied by a definite system for its inauguration in practice, and under the circumstances congress will be tempted to wait for a fuller consensus of public opinion be fore going on with the matter in ear nest. lf, as a result of Secretary Metcalf 's mission to San Francisco, he can formulate no cure-all for the Japanese complaint, he is able, according to verified reports of hia unofficial state- I nients, to define cieatiy the material difficulties of the problem. In the first place the secretary is satisfied that as a constitutional and legal matter the restriction of Japanese child,eu lo specified public schools, separate from white children, is a violation of treaties between tbe United States aud Japan. , In short, he wPl report to the presi dent that the point raised by the Jap anese government is well taken and that the action of the San Francisco local authorities constitute a substan tial violation of ovr international ob ligations. Secretary Metcalf s conclusion gives point to his finding as to the facts, to the effect that the virtually unanimous sentiment in San Francisco and also in California is positively opposed to the free intermingling of children of Asiatic parentage with white children in the public schools, so that the action of the school authorities,! not merely their own. but representative of the popular will. No evasion of the dif ficulty, therefore, is to be had by con struing the word "Mongolian" in the statute ss exclusive of the Japanese, and giving them indiscriminate access lo the schools because so iutcuev is tht ponular prejudice against I he Asiatiis. Iioib .lapant'se and I'hliuse, anordinu to Sei t rial y Metcalf. that the stall- legislature will probably si relict hen the l.w in this und otlur particulars against them. The danger is that the situation may develop into a deadlock between local and national antlioiitx, the former le spoiullns lo popular sentiment in city and slate against the lights of alien residents, nnd the latter bound by In ternational obligation under the con stitution, which (let lares that "all treaties made, or which shall be made under authority of the United Ktates, shall be the supremo law of the land, anything in the constitution or laws of any slate to the contrary notwithstand ing." It is lo be observed, however, that, under the present administra tion no such deadlock, especially one Involving grave national and interna tional duties and interests, Is likely long to remain in statu quo. .ii i xit: ran rnt:itsh:i.vt.s During the recent, tampaign the republican state committee uncovered the fact that railway passes were being offered to students and others at the stale university, provided they would agree to go homo nnd vote the demo cratic ticket. This was adduced not only to expose the vicious practice, but also to support the charge, based on the tell-tale letter of Chalrniajl Allen taking up the railroad side of the terminal taxation question, that the railroads and the democrats were working in close alliance. Instead of denying the alleged dis tribution of passes, the democratic campaign managers, and more partic ularly the World-Herald as the demo cratic organ, undertook to denounce the intercepted pass as a forgery, going into considerable detail as to how an old discarded pass form had been filled out and the year date, 1900, moved up to If 06, on a photographic reproduction. Of course, this was Im possible, us every railroad man knew, and ns an examiu.itton of the face of the pass would quickly have proven to any intelligent person. Just to show the good faith of the republicans and the bad faith of the opposition, the original of the Gallo way pass has been procured and is now on exhibition in the Farnani street window of The Itee's business office, where every one who wishes niay examine it and make sure that there is nothins in the nature of a forcerv about it. The campaign is over, to be sure, but other campaigns are coining in the future and it is well to close this Incident now by effectually puncturing the forgery roorback raised by the democrats. .vol' ;iti) nvsixts. The announcement Is made that the State Board of Educational Lands and Funds has just invested J200.000 more in Mississippi state bonds to net the school fund a fraction over 3.7 per cent. Why money belonging to the public schools of Nebraska should be sent to Mississippi, to be loaned at rates, of interest less than what our own school districts are paying on money borrowed to erect school houses in Nebraska, will strike the man of ordinary business sense peculiaily. The reason is that our state con stitution prohibits the investment of , ! .1.:.... ,..-n....t I bonds of Nebraska counties. Having taken up all of our own obligations that are available, it becomes neces sary to seek bonds of oilier states, and the only states now issuing bonds are those like Mississippi and Montana, that would otherwise find more or less difficulty in floating their paper at low rates. This system of handling the state school fund is costing the school chil dren of Nebraska thousands of dol lars every year. It Is high time that the limitation on investment be ex panded to Include the bonds of our own school districts and of our own municipalities, with proper safeguards against defalcation on interest or prin cipal. A settler on the Uintah reservation declares that the Utes under Chief Appah left that reservation because of tho "grafts" worked upon them by federal employes and other white men. The aborigines will find that they must make a long journey lf they would leave "graft" behind. The Galloway pass, which the World-Herald on the eve of election pronounced a forgery, may be sen In the Farnam street window of The Bee office, where It is on exhibit. All doubters are invited to look at it and to satisfy themselves that it is the real thing. (joveinor .iickey is still trying to study out how long is "a reasonable time." lf the governor were making a new law dictionary ne would doubt less define It as long enough to carry those Impeachment charges over the expiration of his term in the executive office. Tbe Dahlman democracy Is endeav oring to keep itsell alive by serving 'refreshments" at its meetings and regaling its members with music by a cowboy quartet.

The Increase which has been ordured in the wages of tho employe of the Pennsyl vania and the Reading railways is one of the many manifestations of republican prosperity. On December 1 the Increase will be effective. Over 175,ttto will pront by o wilt r.r. it. The advances is voluntary. All the big I railways ln the country are doing a larger I trade than ;er before. The Pennsylvania ! ana me Heading think that this is a good time for them to givo their ernplo.ies a ucw share in the prosperity. Wo hear much about the iucicuso In i cost of living which has taken place in the last few years. The Increase has been marked In many lines. Hut wages, for the majority of workers, have advanced in a greater degree than prices of food and clothing. This has been esneclullv t rup not only of the lower-priced workers on farms and in manual lalsjr of all sorts, I railway, in which the judgment of I-ist Faturdav Samuel I-uitiain, kiii.-i,u,u but it has been true of most of the ine- ' juje Humphrey was so severely criticised 'of General Israel and General Ruins lut chanlcal trades.

It shows why a large majority of them will vole the re publican ticket m lis. The farmer, the cattle raiser, the cotton grower, the miner and the rest of the producers of the country are getting far more for the: things which they sell than they did ten ye-ars ago. They know that this change has been one of ths results t of republican contiol of the government. On this account they will continue to vote the republican ticket. So long as the re publican party holds onto lis beneficent policy of advancing the interests of pro duoer and consumer its tenure of power will be aspired. As this has been the policy of the republican party from th beginning, there is an excellent reason to suppose that It will last, t'nder repub lican sway the Pnited States has advanced more ln the last forty eais than it did In all Us previous life as a nation, aud immeasurably more than any other country has advanced In twice that duration.

A Washington correspondent of the New Vmk Sun dis cusses the third objection, the most Im portant of nil. inasmuch as most of the trust prosecutions orlginutlntf with the at torney general's offlce will BO to the su preme coin I for final adjudication. The correspondent calla attention to "the un written but nevertheless rigid rule of tfie court that no member of the court shall paaj Judsment upon tiny question In which lie is In any way Interested. Mr. Moody would, therefore, be barred from parthl nation in all the cases hlch hnd ai Isen during his in tmletif y r.f the nttornev gen eral'a office and upon which he In one wny or another had tHken any action." In nil such pases Mr. Moody's presence on the bench would prevent "a heartnK by a full court" and bring aliout a condition similur to that which ennbled the rallrond lawyers to secure postponement of the Nebraska lax cases last month. Among the important cases cited by the correspondent Is the suit between Kansas and Colorado as to the right to use the waters of the Colorado river for Irrigation purimses, in which Nic government wan an intervener because; the action concerned the basic principle governing its expend!- lures of some ttn.nOO.imo for Irrigation proj- ee.ts in the arid regions of the west. On account of the Intervention ot the Depart- meat of Justice Mr. Moody would, of course, be excluded from sitting In that ease, and aa far as its postponement is concerned It might as well lie put over until Mr. Moody Is eligible for retirement from the bench-some, seventeen years ,enorprovided he lo appointed to the va cancy.
