The holding of the reunion of the
Army nf the Tennessee at Vlcksburg,
the visit of the surviving officers of a
Wisconsin brigade to Atlanta and the
proposal to hold the 110 encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic at
some southern city has been followed
by another Incident which marks the
rapid panning of laboriously cherished
feelings of hostility aud prejudice be
tween the men who wore the blue and
those who fought under the stars and
bars. Missouri has taken the lead in
the organization of a new army so
ciety to be called the United Veterans
of the Civil War and composed of men
who fought in either union or confed
erate armies. The project is just a
little startling, at first, and will prob
ably meet with some opposition both
north and south. Vet it is particularly
significant, that the movement should
have Its origin in Missouri, which was
a border state during the great con
flict, with neighbors and members of
the same family divided In allegiance
between the union and the confed
eracy. In no section of the country
watt there more hatred, more bitter
sectional feeling or move suffering on
account of the war. If those contend
ers in that conflict can sink (he differ
ences over which they fought in the
early sixties, it should bJ eaaler for
other surviving veterans of the two
armies to- join in amicable celebration
and reminiscence.
The formation of the new army sf '
ciety is an additional proof that while
the rase of battle marked the civil
war, as in every other, the individual
combatants as a rule felt little real
enmity toward esch other. No deep
separation ever existed between the
men and reconciliation among the sur
vivors should hot be difficult The
unionists and the com federates have no
more reason to keep up their quarrel
a.nd the distinction"! of the old con
flict than have the members of a fam
ily to continue to bear grudge after
the cause of their difference has been
removed.
CANADA AHQ'THE PAPER SVPPLY.
United States Consul Hale at Coatl-
cok, Canada, reports that' the Can
adians are deeply Interested over the
announcement that President Roose
velt will recommend to congress that
the tariff on wood pulp and white pa
per be repealed. According to Consul
Hale, the Canadians are not nearly so
much concerned about how the United
States may eecure cheaper paper as
they are about plans for conserving
the pulp supply in Canada and en
couraging the manufacture of paper
In the Dominion. An agitation has al
ready been started for a general law
in the Dominion placing the same
heavy export tax on wood pulp, or
spruce timber, as is now exacted by
the province of Ontario.
The condition illustrates anew what
the United States has lost by its per
sistent refusal to encourage trade re
lations with Canada. When the orig
inal reciprocity treaties were planned
under the McKlnley administration
Canada was eager and anxious for
their approval. Highly liberal con
cessions were offered by the Dominion
Parliament on wood, lumber, iron ore
and other raw materials needed by the
American manufacturers, ( but the
United States senate refused to1 ratify
the treaties. Since that time the man
ufacturing industries of Canada have
developed rapidly and now the Can
adians, are strongly opposed to allow
ing any of their raw materials to go
to the United States free of duty.
Canadian authorities insist that the
Canadian supply of material for the
manufacture of paper shall be used in
Canada and that the only way this
country can have cheaper paper, by
Canadian help, is to remove the duty
on the manufactured article. The
present duty on wood pulp is ' about
one-fourth of a cent a pound and the
duty on white paper is 15 per cent
advalorem. Removal of the duty on
wood pulp under these conditions
would seem to be only a half-way
measure.
JVC XT MOVE FOR THE UASKBS.
All business men. agree that there
has been marked Improvement In the
situation in Omaha with respect to the
circulation of currency since the first
few days of the suspension of specie
payments by the banks. People are
paying out cash ia the stores much
more freely than ten days ago and the
apprehension at first felt over the
cashiers' certificates has beep almost
wholly eliminated.
' The one place where the channels
of trade are unnecessarily clogged lies
tn the reluctance of business men to
make caah deposits in the banks,
knowing that they cannot draw the
money out again except by favor. As
a consequence business houses are de
positing their checks and cashiers'
certificates as they are received and
are holding in -their own possession
all the gold and silver and greenbacks
and bank notes so as to be sure to
have' it w,hsn needed.
This situation is stimulating jut
the kind ot hoarding which the bank
embargo was Intended to prevent. It
J is up to the banks, therefore, to make
currency move still more- actively by
accepting cash deposits from now on
under special agreement rto pay out
cash to the same amount on demand.
This is what has been done in Lin
coln from the start Merchants in
Lincoln make out two deposit slips,
one for checks and bank . items and
another for cash, and arc permitted to
withdraw at any time the cash which
they have paid in since the date of
specie suspension. As a consequence
Lincoln people have hardly known
that the banks had put on the padlock.
W'ith such an assurance local busi
ness In Omaha would quickly resume
a condition little different from what
It was prior to the outbreak of the
pnnc and the banks would still be In
absolute command of their cash re
serves as against any draining for pur
posos of hoarding. To keep double
entries of cash and paper deposits
might entail some Inconvenience on
the banks, but It would be nothing
like the inconvenience which the banks
have entailed upon business, and they
ought to be glad to afford this much
relief at the very earliest possible
moment.
comrol, vp THfir coVr.t.vyt.s.
Oat of the recent financial flurry has
come a new question, certain to at
tract the attention of congress, as it
is already demanding the thought and
consideration of bankers and public
officials. The question is the apparent
necessity of some lnw, federal or
otherwise, that will provide for a
proper inspection and regulation of
the business of the big trust com
panies. Developments In New sYork
have shown the need ot reform in that
line. Whether it should be by federal
or state regulation raises a difference
of opinion as to the power of the fed
eral government over trust companies.
The federal power to regulate national
bnnks comes from the grant to the
banks of the power to Issue bank
notes. While the' need of regulation
of the big trust companies Is conceded.
Just how the rerulation may be best
accomplished is still debatable.
The evils that have grown out of the
lack of federal or other strict super
vision of the trust companies have
been demonstrated forcibly in the Jast
few months. These institutions, which
were not organized to do a banking
business, have, as a matter of fact,
been doing a banking business free
from the restrictions placed upon na
tional banks by the federal law. In
New York the growth of the trust
companies has been rapid, the con
cerns accepting deposits, issuing
drafts, negotiating loans aud doing all
the legitimate business of a bank, ex
cepting to issue bank notes, without
being subject to legal requirements as
to a reserve or to any regulations im
posed upon national banks. As a re
sult manipulators of big deals in
stocks and securities have operated
largely through trust companies, thus
evading responsibility to. the federal
law.
The New York clearing house banks
have-appreciated the , situation and
have made an effort to check trust
company abuses. A rule recently
adopted required concerns "outside
the Clearing House association," which
clear through the association, to keep
a 15 per cent cash reserve, although
national banks In New York are re
quired to keep a reserve of 2 5 per
cent. On the strength of this resolu
tion three big trust companies with
drew from the clearing house connec
tion, and, it is proper to note, that
all -three became involved seriously in
the panic that followed.
Financiers all appreciate the neces
sity of reform in existing trust com
pany conditions. There is evident
necessity for a separation of the trust
branch of the business from the bank
ing branch and of imposing upon the
banking branch the limitations and
requirements imposed on national
banks. At present national bankB are
subject to one system of Inspection
and regulation, while state and private
banks and trust companies are under
another. The difference in authority
and Inspection makes it easy to shift
loans and assets to meet emergencies,
whereas a slnzle authority would ex
ert much more effective control.
The police board has decided not to
interfere with the custom of policemen
receiving gratuities for special service
rendered to private individuals and
associations outside of regular hours.
But the Una of demarcation between
receiving gratuities for special service
rendered outside of hours and receiv
ing gratuities for special service inside
of hours is very hazy and uncertain.
If policemen are to bo permitted to
receive pay for doing police duty out
side of hours they ought to be required
to report in writing promptly on every
such case, with the amount of the
gratuities received and names of those
who pay them. It is human nature
for men who receive favors to recipro
cate them and it is an axiom that no
man can serve two masters faithfully.
It would be still better if people re
quiring the service of special police
men for which they are willing to pay
should make their applications to the
chief of police or police captain in
charge and pay a fixed fee properly
receipted for. The whole transaction
would then be open and above board
and relieve the patrolmen thus hired
from even the shadow of suspicion.
Another eruption on the subject of
tainted money is due from our amiable
democratic contemporary in view of
the acceptance by the police board of
j the donation of $50 from the Standard
Oil company to the firemen's relief
fund. It does not matter that this
contribution Is la recognition, ot effi
cient service rendered la stopping a
fire threatening to destroy the prop
erty of that odious corporation. Rock
efeller money is the same poison
whether given for the benefit of state
university students or for the succor
of incapacitated firemen or. firemen's
widows and orphans. If 8tandard Oil
money taints the receiver as well as
the donor the police board should
quickly rescind Its action and mark
'Returned- to
The consensus ot opinion is that the

In behalf of acquaintances convicted of
crime. Tho occasion was the passing of
sentence on lawyer Lyman 8. Andrews,
found guilty of stealing HXM0 of the trust

sented to the courts urging a suspension of
sentence for the reason that the culprit had
a large family dependent on his support.
Answering the appeals fur clemency the
Judge said:
"Is a Judge to pmiinh the unfortunate poor
man and allow the man who loots un estntc
to go free? Would that be holding the
scales of Justice fnlrly? Or would not a
Judge bo unfit to Sit in Justice who would
riake such discrimination?
"t'nder the defendant's control there were
millions of dollars. Notwithstanding that
tbo counsel who represents the estate bad
tha boldness and effrontery to send the
court the following communication.
"Other prominent lawyers of stunding
have addressed similar communications to
this court, but tho beneficiaries under the
will, those whose money wus stolen, are
lying beneath tho earth.
"Their lips are silent. Troni them no ap
peal has come. Whether tho lawyers have
arrogated to themselves the powers of
speaking for the dead or speaking for the
beneficiaries I do not know, but I think the
time has arrived when : Judge must abso

Th? details of an operation by which two
blood clots were removed from the brain
of Thomas Duffy of Stt Kast Thirtieth
street, an expert accountant for the Penn
sylvania railroad, arc told at Bellevtie
hospital. By means of the operation Duffy,
who went to the hospital completely para
lysed, Js now able to talk and move his
limbs. Duffy was sandbagged on October
27, and when ho was taken to the hospital
was found to be suffering from cerebral
hemorrhage. Dr. Gordon L.1ndsay, head of
the first surgical division, and his assistant,
Dr. Edward J.f'wls, decided to operate at
once. They lifted a triangular piece of the
skull on the right side of the head above
the ear and found a small blood clot on the
surfacoy of the brain. Then the surgeons
made an incision half an Inch long and a
quarter of an inch deep into the brain and
found there another clot of blood. After
both had been removed the piece of skull
was put buck and Duffy showed signs of
immediate Improvement. The surgeons
believe that ho will recover entirely.
After every financial flurry comes the
story of the losses of the timid gets Into
print. At the first Intimation of financial
trouble they draw their money from the
banks and "hide", it where even the most
bungling thief can find It without diffi
culty. Three persons were victims today,
ftugeno and Kdna Pletro drew $1,600 from
the bank, and when they went tn, bed last
night put It in their stockings. They were
awakened- by smoke this morning and ran
to the fire escape, leaving the stockings.
Firemen carried them down. When the fire
was over they found the stockings all
right, but the money was gone. The vic
tims have been saving several years to re
turn to Italy. .

At the height of the evening rush hour a
merchant on his way home threw a half

neighbor discussed the question: "Who
got the 40 cents which waa left behind?"
Three days later; same man, same ticket
window, same ticket seller.
"Were you here on Monday at this
hour?" '
"Yes, sir," replied the agent.
"Well, I bought two tickets and gave you
60 cents "
"AH right, here's your change; been wait
ing for you; pleaao puss on." ,
The man was so pleased that he missed
hl train and waited to have another talk
with the man behind the window, who told
him that whefl the change was left behind
the next man in line claimed It. and had
to be harshly spoken to before be "dropped
the bluff." "Of course," said the man, "the
ticket agent got the change back from roe,
hut I wished that I could have done more.
We need men of that kind downtown now

f oat Ion and Disruption In tha
Democratic Party.
New York Sim (rep.).
A survey of the electoral Held of Tuesday
discovers Hie demociatlc party In tho his
toric act of turning Its wenixins upon Itself
and committing hara-kiri. In New Jersey
victory Wis actually within Its grasp when
a confiding candidate for governor was be
trayed in the house of his friends.
In Massachusetts the democratic factious
were tearing each other tooth and nail be
fore election day came, and on the eve of
u presidential contest the party finds Its
ranks broken and scattered and the ground
heaped with dead and wounded, but the
casualties have been Inflicted by democrats.
Yet a few months ago the party hiul a
wot thy cause, nnd ithlti-d und under pom
IX'tent direction Is might have turned the
tide of republican victory.
In Nebraska the only democrat cony
spicuous enough to be accounted n leader
repeated his biennial failure after writing
the party platform, organizing victory n'Sid
making a personal campaign. This emi
nent man lost his own ward nnd rolled up
a large majority in tho statu against his
party. As it prefers defeat to success and
professions to performance, he is Its logi
cal commander. In Kentucky, where lie
went to inspire the democratic host and
point the way to victory, tbere was an utter
rout and the republicans triumphed mag
nificently. The democratic party had In
vited defeat by its transgressions, but that
made not a jot of difference to the emi
nent man; moreover, he Is familiar with
disaster and thrives upon it.
Year in and year out the democracy
proves Its title to the distrust of the people
and Is the prey and sport of demagogues.
The crackbralned lead It, sordid knaves
betray It, and it straggles blindly on to
failnro after failure. Only when the demo
cratic party sends its fanatics and monte
backs to the rear and restores men of
sanity and -character to command will It
be possible to mobilizo its discordant fac
tions and effect an organization which will
be of use to the country us an opposition
party and may hope some time to deserve
the confidence of the American people. In
telligent republicans as well as conservative
democrats deplore Its dejenerution and
impotency.

Here Is another chance to let the eagle
scream. As a naval power the I'nlted
States now ranks third in number nf ships
and second In tonnage. And it only seems
a few years ago that our navy was only
slightly superior to that of Switzerland.

IS YOUR MONEY AS GOOD AS
ANYONE'S ELSE? '
THERE Is an Interesting question.
Have $ou ever had occasion to put it
to yourself? Worded another way,
here It Is again:
WILL THE MONEY YOU OWN BUY
AS MUCH AS THE MONEY SOME
BODY ELSE OWNS?
Suppose you had bought a piano for
1300. You liked It and thought you
bad obtained a bargain because the
dealer told you that It was really worth
400.
But suppose you bhould find out a
day or two later that a friend had
bought tbe same kind of a piano In
the same store for I27&.
What then? Would you consider
that your money bad been worth as
much in that store as the money ot
your friend? Wouldn't you decide that
you had tbe worst of a very bad bar
gain? Tbe dollars in your pocket are as
bis and aa valuable aa the dollars In
the pocket of anyone else but If the
dollars you spend do not buy'aa much
as the dollars ot someone else In the

THH ftlLVKlt LINING.
When all thy sky Is clouded o'er.
When rains ilescend und tempests toai .
When mists of gloom. have covered ji 1 1
And darkness settleti like a pall
I'pon thy heart, be not downcast
Behold how vast
The silver lining shows at last;
God's smile, a sunbeam, proves so plain
That this our life is not In vain.
II.
When some great grief has lakn hold
Upon thy heart and left it cold. ' ,
Dead to life's Interests, fraught with woe
Thy dawn, and dismal evening's glow.
One thing remains ere thou rebel
If thou Ktrtv-est well
In smallest virtues to excel.
Then tu thy heurt some duty plain
Proves life has not been wholly vain.
nr..
When all thy effort seems misspent,
When ardor meets with cold dissent.
When lalth Is cancelled by dltrut.
Then give not up In dire dtsgnnt:

If one sweet thought

Then why repine, or why complain.
Thy life has not been lived In vuln.

When cherished Joys you leave behind.
Fret not) 'tis thus with human kind;
God takes that Ho may more bestow,
In richer soil his mercies grow
In simple trust If thou endure
True love and pure
Shall fill thy heart with blessings sura
What else shall count If love remain
To prove life hua not been In vain.

same store it's safe to say that you
have been swindled.
In this store every piano is marked
with one price -the lowest possible.
That price does not vacillate.' The beat
friend we have in the world could not
buy a piano any cheaper than a
stranger.
Each person's money will buy Just
exactly as much here as anyone's else.
Commissions are not given because
they are the Inevitable cause of high
prices. It stands to reason that the
dealer who must pay for "lofluonce"
In selling a piano must add to the real
price of the piano tbe cost of the in
fluence. Otherwise there would be no
profit for him.
