THE lead and silver producing indus

THE lead and silver producing indus
tries are deeply interested in the appeal
made before the treasury department at
Washington by representatives of the
mines of Utah, Montana and Colorado,
asking to have the present rule govern
ing the importation Of mixed quantities
of lead and silver ore changed. Large
quantities of lead are imported from
Mexico to be smelted In this country.
These ores evade the specific duties on
lead by being imported as silver ore,
where the silver is less in quantity, but
greater in value than the lead. 1t is
claimed by the miners that under the
present system the government is de-
frauded and the lead producers OF this
country are compelled to meet the COM
petition OF Mexican lead in the market
already overstocked. To remedy this
defect the lead operators ask that the
weight OF the two metals should de-
termine to what class the ore belongs.
1t is delicate subject for the treasury
department to handle. The present
ruling has been endorsed by the senate
judiciary committee and is favored by
the smelling aud refining companies.
In all probability the treasury depart
ment will be very cautious in coming to
a decision of so much mo nent to the
mining and smelling industries.

HITS AND MISSES.

A business man of Omaha who has been
in Chicago this week arrived home this
morning. Over in western Iowa, as the
train sped westward, the newsboy t1Oated
through the sleeper, crying the Omaha and
Council Bluffs papers, fresh from the press
this morning. Our friend took q men tai
note of the tastes of the passengers as eX-
pressed by the newspapers they purchased.
The boy offered every mOrning paper in
Omaha, but found takers only for THE BEE,
of which he sold six copies Great is THE
BEE.
Assurance came from Washington that
the employees of the Omaha custom house
are overworked, and that an increase of the
force is desirable This is cheerful news.
Anvone who has watched the force file out
of the federal building for the noon lunch,
could not fail to notice the careworn brows,
the weary, anxious looks, the bowed should
ers aud other evidences of hard toll. Envi-
Gus partlsans might ascribe their condition
to the menacng fears of the bounce, but
official inquiry shows that from collector to
custodian the entire force is bowed down
by the cares and responsibilities of Office. A
change of scene is necessary to save their
lives, and the administration realizes that a
few years. rest will give them the longed-
for opportunity to recuperate. Republicans
are magnanmous.
The epcurcan taste of Council Bluffs is
satiated. A pork roast worth S10O,0 con-
sumed at one sitting proves that their appe-
tite and capacity arc sufficient for all de-
mands.
The position of United States juror is
rich in possibilities, especially to the country
man. Favored with railroad passes, mileage
expenses and per diem, besides the favors
which rival ltigants may shower upon him,
his condition is one to be envied.
Reports from Wyoming show that the calf
crop is unusually large. This accounts for
the overflow in Omaha at present.

mess, DOCTOR" exclaimed Mr.. Lininger to the

THE Miller QUESTION.

Ever since the present admini5tra-
tion came into power the advocates OF
au increased coinage OF silver have
been urging the monthly purchase of
silver bullion to the full amount author
lied by law, four million dollars. 1t is
announced that they have finally been
informed of the decision OF the secre-
tary of the treasury not to depart from
the present and lOng-maintained policy
of limiting the purchase of silver to
two million dollars month, and that
this will be adhered to until congress
can have an opportunity to act upon the
question. The refusal of the secretary
of the treasury to change the policy es-
tablished under a republican admins
tration, is said to have caused the silver
men a good deal of displeasure and cha
grin.
If the friends of silver coinage seri-
ously hoped that their appeal would be
successful, they did so in disregard of
Window on this question. In the senate
Mr.. Window spoke very plainly and very
forcibly in opposition to free coinage.
In the administration of Garfield, he
gave no intimation that his views re-
garding silver had undergone any
change. Nothing in his subsequent
career affords any reason for belief that
he has abandoned the opinions held
ten years ago. Nor had the silver men
any warrant to expect support for their
policy from the president. He has at
no time, either in the senate or since,
been identified with those in favor of
radical bimetallic policy. He APP
proved in his letter of acceptance the
declaration of the national platform in
favor OF currency of both gold and sill
yer, but neither in this nor anything
else that he has said, which is OF record,
Is President Harrison committed to any
different policy than is now being pur-
sued regarding silver coinage.
II the advocates Of more coinage are
strong enough in congress. as it is quite
possible they will be, to effect a
change Of policy, they will be in a
position to compel change of policy.
Meanwhile the practical facts of the
financial situation should receive atten-
tion, as undoubtedly these have had an
important influence in inducing the de-
cision reached by the treasury depart
ment. These do not snow that there is
an urgent demand for an increase in the
silver coinage. AT the beginning of this
year less than sixty-one million stan
dard silver dollars were in actual use in
| a total circulation of over fourteen hun
dred million dollars. While from the
| first of January to the middle of May
nearly twenty million of standard sill
yer dollars were added to the treasury
hoard by coinage and the return OF
coins not wanted in circulation, less
than half that amount OF silver certiti-
Gates having been added during that
time to the currency circulation OF the
country. With facts Of this character
before them it should not surprise any
body that the secretary of the treasury
declines to increase tho purchases Of
silver bullion, and to continue the pres
ent policy until congress can say
whether or not it shall be changed.

THE decision CT Judge Wakeley is an
important and timely warning. to the
county board of equalization. The court
holds that valuations made by the as
SCISSORS cannot be changed by the board
without filling written complaint
against the owner and entering into a
formal treatment of the case" The
decision brings up the question of un-
equal assessments which is the crying
evil of the present system. No i'm
provement, however, can be effected
under existing laws. The limited time
allowed the board to equalize the work
of the assessors makes it imperative
that the latter shall exercise
the greatest care in making their
returns. and agreeing in advance on
definite method of valuation,
equal and just to all sections of the city
and county. Ward boundaries should
be ignored, and favoritism stamped out.
Rich and poor should be treated alike,
and unimproved realty should bear an
equal share of the burdens of taxation
with adjoining improved property.
To place a premium on unimproved
property by low assessment is an outrage
on home-builders.

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.

The official report of police operations in
Ireland for the first. three months of the
present year is an interesting document re-
ceived at the state department recently.
Crime is classed under thirty.eight heads,
ranging from murder TO threats. Next to
murder, in the opinion Of the official compiler,
assaults on the police are considered the most
heinous Of crimes, and two instances were
recorded in three months. When one con-
siders the autocratic power of the police, the
cruel eviction practices, the searching raids
on homes, and other provocations, the moral
restraint and patience Of the people is sur
prising. The record shows total Of one
hundred and twenty-five crimes, and seventy

(, ONE of our contemporaries points to
the fact that all the Omaha dailIes, with
the single exception of THE BEE, are
netting in unison to defeat the school
bond proposition. This is not the first
time, however, that the Omaha dailies
have placed themselves solidly in
opposition to proposition supported by
THE BEE. On the contrary, it would
be something extraordinary to have the
Omaha dailies support anything that
THE BEE favors even when, as in this
instance, they are giving advice that is
liable to prove very damaging to the
city of Omaha in crippling our schools.
The usual practice of these great dailies
is to hold back until THE BEE has
taken position on any important issue,
and then join hands and take the other
side.

AMNESTY 10 DEsERTERs.

ANN HOI1 III DESEhibfS.
The president and secretary OF war
are expected to give early consideration
10 the question OF proclaiming an am
nesty TO deserters from the army. The
last order OF general amnesty was issued
in 1878, since which time there have
been thousands OF deserters, some OF
whom are still living under the dread
OF being recaptured. There are both
humane and economical reasons in sup
port Of the proposals for general am
nesty. 1t would relieve very large
number OF men Of heavy burden OF
fear. Assistant Adjutant-General Kel-
ton, OF the army, talking OF
even II ho has been out
OF the service for some time, is always
fearful OF discovery and arrest. and his
mind is always on strain. There is
reward for the detection and arrest Of
every deserter of the United States
army, and in every city there are de-
tectives on the lookout for such men.
Knowing the danger he is in, the de-
serter is in continual state of appre-
hension; which is almost as severe a
punishment as any that would be in
ficted in the service.
AS to the economical consideration q,
amnesty would relieve the government
of the expense of recapturing those
who should be included in it, which in
the opinion of AdjutantGenera Kel-
ton should be all who deserted prior to
1886. Desertions are costly to the gov
ernment. For example, the number
last year was twenty-five hundred, and
it cost the government two hundred
and TIVE nty dollars to replace each one
OF them with new recruit. The de-
sertions OF last year therefore cost the
government five hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, aside from the ex-
pense attached to those who were re-
captured. An order of gene raj amnesty
would prevent the necessity OF
any further expense on account
OF the deserters now at large
and il it should not tend to
decrease the number OF desertlons in
the future, it might, in the opinion OF
General Kelton, inspire some needed
Improvements and reforms. The sug-
gestion of an amnesty was made to the
president by Senator Plumb, and it is
quite probable that an order will be is
sued to include all deserters down to
1886, and possibly to a later date. 1t is
not apparent that any bad effects could
result from such an order. The govern
ment would certainly lose nothing, and
a host of men, estimated to number
over thirty-two thousand, would be
| given relief from the fear that con-
tinually haunts them. In his letter to
the president on this matter, Senator
| Plumb makes some statements regard
| ing the conditions that produce so many
desertions which ought to receive the
attention of congress. There is evi-
IDENTIFY great opportunity for reform in
army methods, without which deser-
tions'are likely to be as numerous in
the future as in the past.

There is a strong movement in North Da
kota in favor of so framing the state consti
tuition that cultivated land may be practically
exempt from taxation, ana that the taxes on
uncpltivated land may be so high that they
will for time suffice for all outgoings. Like
all ideal schemes of reform, this proposal
has an obvious weakness, The idea is, OF
course, to expedite the cultivation of all land
opened up for settlement or actually settled,
and if this was accomplished, the new states
revenue would speedily be reduced to very
small total On the other hand the tax on
grazing land would have to be so inordinate
ly high that cattle raising would become i'm

meets in Chicago on the 9th of this
