THE report now current that the pres
ident will suggest in his message to the
next congress an abolishment OF the in
ternal revenue system OF the country
cannot be true. Taxes from this source
amount to about $l30, 200, 900 a year and
could not wholly be spared from the
finances OF the country. Authorities
on the subject say that no more than
$4,000, 900 year could be dispensed
with from the revenues. There are both
democrats and republicans who favor
the abolition OF taxes on tobacco, which
produces $30,000,000 year. Other re-
ductions could be made which would
bring the amount up to the limit of
$75,000,000.
1t is more than likely the president
does not contemplate more radical
change than Is here indicated, although
southern people would be especially
pleased were he to recommend the
abolition of the whole system.

THE SCHOOL TEACHERS, MECCA

THE SCHOOL TEACHERS MECCA.
The disposition of certain members
of the board of education toward fur
ther extravaganza in the matter Of sal
aries crops out at nearly every meeting.
Omaha teachers are beJter paid than
nine-tenths of the class in the country,
and they always have been especially
favored in the matter OF light labor
and pleasant surroundings. This city
IS regarded as the school teachers
Mecca by people all over the east, and
competent instructors can be obtained
for the asking who will be glad to
accept half the money now paid present
incumbents. Still there seems to be a
continual agitation on the salary mat
ter which speaks exceedingly Ill for
certain members of the board.
In Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois,
Missouri. Iowa and in fact all western
and northwestern states it is entirely
safe to estimate that the salaries, as a
rule, are at least from twenty-five To
forty per cent below those paid here.
The regular salary list for the high
school proper is twenty-six thousand
dollars year. No similar institution
in the United States pays such an
amount Of money to the number OF
teachers engaged in regular school
duties. In this statement regard is had
to the efficiency and number of the
teachers employed. There are tour
hundred and seventy-fve pupils in the
high school, and it is safe to say that
each one costs the city ifty-fve dollars q
year for tuition. This amount is larger
than that paid in many of the leading
colleges of the east.
There is not the slightest necessity
for the board to even contemplate a
further increase of pay for any teacher,
whether regularly or specially en-
ployed.

DENOUNCED LABOR DAY.
A Canadian Priest Issues a Pastoral
Against the Holiday.

MONTREAL, Sept 10.-lSpecial Telegram
to TnE BEE. Father Sentennc, of Notre
Dame mas issued pastoral denouncing the
Knights Of Labor and labor day. The lat
ter, he says, was for the head OF the
church to condemn. Labor day. in its pres
ent shape, was nothing more than a revival
of paganism, and was similar to the fetcs
organized during the French revolution,
when the Goddess of Liberty was the su-
preme ruler and God and religion were ban
ished. Catholics could not too strongly con-
demn sucn celebrations, devoid, as they
were, OF the religious aspect which should
accompany them. There was an invading
spirit tending to mark such events OF q
purely lay character which should and must
be stemmed ere 1t went too far. III they
began by arbor day and then went 10 labor

would be entirely banished from the gather

THE TREASURY CENTENARY

One hundred years ago to-day the
United States treasury department was
organized, Alexander Hamilton, the
first secretary, having been appointed
by President Washington September
IL, 1888, nine days after the act creating
the Office passed congress. This act
created also the offices of assistant Sec
retary, controller, register, auditor and
treasurer. The task which Hamilton,
still young man, assumed, was IA most
important aud difficult one. The
financial affairs OF the govern
ment were in an embarrassed
and badly mixed condition, the busi-
ness affairs of the country, though re-
covering from the effects OF the war,
were far from being prosperous, and
the national credit was extremely low
The exigency demanded the highest
order Of financial ability, and no APP

THE B. g. Ms extension from
Alliance into the coal fields of
eastern Wyoming will not stop
there. The indications point to move
in the direction of the Black Hills.
Rapid City is probably the prospective
point for the present. Where the road
will next push forward will depend
largely on circumstances. The opening
of the Sioux reservation and its early
settlement promise wide field for the
Burlington's enterprise. 1t is quite
likely that the road will take advantage
of the opportunity, and by extending
feeders through this section supply it
with coal from eastern Wyoming, as
we'll as share in the general traffic.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

The newspapers which have been
making so much ado about the appar-
ent increase of the public debt during
July and August will be likely to find
in the simple and sufficient explanation
of the secretary Of the treasury reason
to regret their hasty criticisms and
conclusions.
The fact is that the debt was largely
reduced during the first two mon this of
the current fiscal year, the reduc-
tion, according to the secretary
OF the treasury, amounting to
more than three times that for
the same months OF last year, or in
round numbers twenty-one million dol
lars. The form of treasury statement
now made by the department. gives the
amount of debt less the cash in the
treasury, and, as the secretary explains,
any increase of cash in the treasury
shows an apparent increase of the debt,
and disbursements for any purpose
other than the purchase of bonds at par
value show an apparent increase equal
to the amount of such disbursements.
Equally satisfactory and sufficient is
the explanation of the secretary of tho
bursements for July and August over
the same months last year, which, with
the increase in the amount of premium
paid on bonds for the sinking fund as
compared with last year, the purchase
of bonds having been much larger, APP
pear to have increased the debt, while
in reality having nothing to do with it.
In word, the operations of the treasury
for the first two months of the present
fiscal year make a better showing in all
respects than those of like period last
year.
1t is not easy to see how the news
papers which have been making this
matter text for criticizing the treas
ury and the administration can avoid
acknowledging that in their eager de-
sire to find fault they have misled their
readers and done an injustice which
thev might easily have avoided. 1t is
to be expected however, that such OF
them as have not the manllness
and honesty to make such an ac-
acknowledgement will endeavor by
distorting the facts to justify
their misrepresentation. The simple
truth is, that the administration of the
treasury thus far has been capable,
conservative and satisfactory to the
country, and all attempts to make po-
litical capital out of it against the ad-
ministration must fail. There has been
shown proper concern for the fnan-
cial interests of the country at the
same time that the interests of the
government were adequately guarded,
and there is no reason to apprehend
that this policy will not be maintained.
