Are you responsible
advertising is a sort Of BY
word. The reproach "Only an
advertisement" was and to
many still is complete condem-
nation OF business addresses to
the public. The Hebrew King
and Poet was incorrect in his
hasty conclusion that "All men
are liars" And you also err if
you put all advertising in the
same limbo.
But still the Indictment of
false witness will hold against
much advertising. 1t wouldn't
be so if everybody were careful
to compare statement and fact.
Therefore, if you condemn, stop
and think whether you have al
ways been careful to discredit
lying and encourage truth in ad-
vertising.
Commercial literature in ad-
vertising is too great a force in
modern life to be ignored. You
can neither evade the fact nor
your own relation to it. 1t has
influence and makes impression
whether you will or not.
Behind the advertising scenes
you may see strange statements;
Thousands of dozens or pieces
or yards, when the total stock at
command is only scores or hun
dreds {; prices reduced, when
the process of reduction is to
open new goods and mark two
prices at the same time, high
price above, a lower one be-
meath it; to state a value as
normal and with it reduced
price, when all the time the mar
ket has ruled as low or lower
than the so-called reduction /;
and SO on through devious and
dubious statement in scores of
forms.
This sort of thing only lives
by encouragement. They that
encourage share the response
bility. You may soon find the
truth-tellers if you care to.

The Spooner inter-state telegraph bill,
which was passed by the senate last
Friday, in its main features follows the
Interstate railroad law. 1t requires
that charges shall be reasonable and
just, prohibits discrimination and for
bids the charging OF any more for n
shorter than for Il longer distance over
the same line. Pooling by competing
lines is prohibited, while drawbacks,
rebates, special rates, and the like are
forbidden. Companies may lawfully
carry messages for the press in
tended for publication as news
at lower than regular rates,
but there must be no discrimiua-
tion between newspapers. Rates are to
be published by tho telegraph COM
panies in such manner us the commits
sion may prescribe, and the bill requires
the companies to make annual reports
to the commission fully setting forth all
important facts relating to their bust
ness and financial condition. The COM
mission is to have the same jurisdiction
over telegraph companies, in so far as
may be necessary for carrying out the
law, as it has over common carriers un-
der the Interstate IN act.
The measure met with no serious op-
position in the senate, though it is far
from coming up to the idea of those who
want a complete system of postal tel
egraphy. AS it is clearly impossible,
however, to get any Legislation at this
session for i%nstituting a postal telegraph
system, this measure was adopted as a
step forward. Its fate in the house is
uncertain, that body having had an
Interstate telegraph bill on its calen-
dar for months. but the probability is
that the proposed Legislation will not
be effected at the present session.

The Nations Mineral Resources.

The Office of the United States Geo.
logical Survey has furnished the press,
in advance of the volume on the mineral
resources of the United States for 1857,
a of the valuable statistics
which will be therein presented. These
show the value Of the mineral industries
last year to have exceeded five hundred
million dollars, which is the largest
total ever reached by such industries in
any country. 1t is nearly seventy-three
million dollars more than the product of
the United States in 1856, and consider
ably more than one hundred million
dollars in excess of the year
1885. OF many items which have con
tributed to this result all the metals
increased in quantity, except gold and
the minor metal, nickel, n nearly all
increased in price. The significance of
this is seen in the increase in produce
tion of the fuels necessary for reducing
these metals and preparing them for
use. All of these fuels, including natu-
raj gas, show a marked increase.
The value of the gold produced last

than for the previous year, while there
was an increase in the value Of the sill
YER product of between three and four
million dollars. AS heretofore noted
there was Il universal decrease in the
gold product, and it is quite possible
that both in this and other countries
the limit in gold production has been
reached and n further decline is to be
looked for. The Importance of this in
its bearing upon the monetary question
is being recognized, and is not a source
Of encouragement to those who would
| Danish silver, or materially curtail its
use, as money. A very interesting
feature of these statistics is the large
increase in the production of natural
| gas, which it is estimated dis,
placed coal to the value Of be-
tween thirteen and fourteen million
dollars. Nevertheless the output and
value of coal last ear were largely in
creased over the preceding year. The
country used coal to the value OF one
hundred and eighty-two million dollar:
in 1857.
The statistics of the mineral indus
tries of the country for last year are a;
a whole in the highest degree crafty
ing, but the opinion is given that the
great total recorded will probably not
be equaled in the present year.

SWIMMING Has begun.

Right on the heels of the capture OF
the Douglas county convention, by the
railroad faction, Mr.. Scott, Of York,
appears in Omaha to perfect a>tie-up
with Mr.. Yost on the attorney general
ship. This is what might have been
expected. Scott has for years been n
small bore B. g. NJ. attorney, and his
boom has been engineered in the inter-
est of that road, and all the other COR
porations Interested in retiring Cen
eral Leese. But the swapping of Doug
las county delegates has only begun.
There are thirteen other railroad
cappcrs in the field against Lcese, and
every one of them will be fed on prom
iscs by the Union Pacific candidate for
treasurer.
The Honorable Mr.. Dew Of johnson
county has also arrived in Omaha. Mr..
Dew wants to act as land commissioner
for the railroads, whom he served so
well years ago in a legislative capacity.
Mr.. Dew will be ~cheerfully assured that
Douglas county's votes are in the market
to the highest bidder. Those thirty
seven votes will be pledged to him, TO
his rival, John Steen, and to all the
other candidates for land commissioner
that may sprout in the field.
BY tomorrow or next day Omaha
may expect to be invaded by the cara
van of candidates, from Ii lieutenant
governor down to presidential e%lector,
and Douglas county will again have
the honor and glory OF being traded,
snapped and bargainod forliko q woman
without virtue.
How the proprietor Of these thirty.
seven votes will be able TO make good
his promises to all the contending and
competing candidates is problematlc.
One thing is certain, the gentlemen
who have been placed at the disposal Of
Mr.. Yost will not find themselves in an
enviable position when they are called
upon to redeem his limitless pledges.

tion and equalization I do not doubt
that. Yost would stand. by Omaha as
against any other part of the state, but
what will he do wheH he has to choose
between Omahas interest when it
clashes with the poi1cy and interest of
the railroads? What did he do when
he had II newspaper at his command?
The railroads always have had
his allegiance. Will he dare break
from them after they have made him
treasurer?
1t is this doubt a. to Yost's fidelity to-
this city and state when he is compelled
TO act, which, more than any other con
siderations. must weigh with all think
ing mon, and citizens who desire good
government. \ desire to avoid person
alities and Il reopcuing Of old sores has
closed my mouth up to this time, but
the time has come when further silence
would be branded either as cowardice
or collision with the railroad faction.

DEMOCRATS AND WHISKY.
A Combine Between the Bourbons and
tho Trust.

WASHINGTON, August IL Special to TIE
BEE, "A member of the house who has at
tended the last two meetings of the investi-
CATION being conducted by the committee on
manufactures, and who heard the testimony
relating to the whisky trust, said to-day;
There is a combination between the demo-
cratic party and the trust which has control
of the whisky and alcohol output of the
country. This Investigation is not beng con-
Quoted with a view to breaking up the mo.
nopoly, and, mark my word, there will be no
legislation intended to injure the whisky in
terost. ! have 1t from excellent authority
that the two or three whisky trusts of the
country are contributing largely to the demo-
cratic campaign fund, and that is why
the democrats are so stcrnly opposed
to abolishing the internal taxes while
there are import dues levied. The whisky
trust is one of the most powerful, financially,
in the world. There are tens of millions Of
dollars invested in the whisky distilling bust
ness, and at least three-fourths of the distil-
lers are democrats. The testimony of all the
distillers before the committee on manufac.
lures is to the effect that the internal taxes
levied upon their products more than any
thing else fixes the prices. If this is true
and we cannot dispute the word of the distil-
lers ttemselves-they would be very willing
to contribute largely of their means to main
tain a party III power which will protect their
interest by maintaining all the old laws. If
the republican party had the money which
will be sent over by free trace England and
that which the whisky trusts are contrlbut-
ing, il could buy twice as many votes at so a
piece rs would be necessary TO carry all the
doubtful states.

volunteers. This man shows that he COM
tracted o lung difficulty in the line Of dut1
which caused total deafness OF the right ear.
He was granted a pension OF $40 a month Cd
January 10, 1888. In 1882, while employed as
a day laborer in q coal mine, and engaged
with other workmen In blasting the cap rock,
there was an explosion which threw stond
into the face and eyes OF the claimaut
so rs to seriously burn and inlure him and to
almost totally destroy his power of sight. At
present he can scarcely distinguish between
midday and midnight. The workmCn en-.
gagged with Jones testify that tho claimant
did not hear the burning OF the fuse, had no
notice of the explosion, and thus received his
serious injury, that had it not been for his
defective hearing, caused by lung difficulty,
which was due to service In the war, ho
would not have received tho injury in the
mine explosion. Nearly twenty years after
the war came to an end the senate committee
reports in favor of giving this man an ia,
crease Of pension.
Another case, somewhat less interesting m
nature, comes from the calendar of the house
of representatives. 1t is to pension at the
rate of $50 a month Mrs. Elizabeth q. Scott.
widow of the late Colonel Scott. Colonel
Scott, it will be remembered, was for many
years engaged in the war department at tho
work of compiling and publishing the rec.
ords of the rebellion. 1t is claimed by those
who are seeking this pension for Mrs. Scott
that this work brought about the death of the
colonel; that TO Gull and arrange out of the
confused and sometimes chaotic mass of
union and confederate reports "a full, just
and Ineligible history Of events, and omit,
ting therefrom the vast body of supernuous
or irrelevant material, required industry, pa
ticnce and methodic intelligence of tho
highest order; that he prosecuted the work
so zcalously that for ten years, it is certified,
he never took u holiday nor spared time for
"A midday lunch, and that when Office was
closed he carried papers home with him and
remained engaged on them until after mid
night. Surgeon O'Eieilly of the army, one
Of the physicians who attended the late Cen
cral sheridan, c~ertifes that the death of
Colonel Scott was as much caused by his enc
tire devotion to the governments service as
though he had been killed in battle. The
house committee on pensions, in reporting
favorably this bill, states that Services of d
quasi cXtra-Otlicial character, like those Of
Colonel Scott, and of equal difficulty and im-
portance, performed through a series Of
years and with SO total a disregard to the
limitations Of prudence and duty, are not
compensated for by mere pay and allow.

be remembered that the bill OF last year
was killed by a pocket veto," so that
the present measure really makes APP
preparations for two years. 1t cannot,
therefore, fairly be regarded as
eXtrayaghnt, although carrying the
largest total appropriation ever made
in n river aud harbor bill.
1t is not questionable that some of the
appropriations are unnecessary and that
their expenditure will be simply u
waste OF money, but it seems impossible
to get through a measure of this kind
free from Objectionable items. The
failure of the measure at this time
would, however, have been unfortunate,
rs there are many improvements that
have become urgent, and which if post
pnned for another year would cause
serious loss to the public and render
necessary larger appropriations here
after. The fact that there was
no appropriation last year to continue
improvements begun and make Others
that had become necessary has doubt
less been II large loss to the govern
ment. 1t is evident that reform in the
method of providing for river and har-
Dor Improvements is very necessary.
The bill that has become a law is Of
interest to both Nebraska and Iowa, as
it appropriatcs u considerable sum that
will be expended within the next year
to the benefit of both these states.
