first session OF the present congress IL is
not likly to be successful at the coming
session, though doubtless its advocates
will claim something for IL in connection
with democratic victory in the national
election. At any rate no free coinage
bill can become a law during the present
administration. II cannot be sand,
therefore, that the outlook for legisla-
tion regarding silver by this congress is
altogether favorable. The question
will receive attention. That much is
assured. Senator Sherman will renew
his proposition. to repeal the existing
law and it is more than probable that
other silver measures will be introduced,
but IL is not likely that anything will he
done beyond another extended discus
sion of the subject and perhaps vote
or two which will demonstrate that IL
large majority of the democratic repre-
sontaiivc5 In congress are still in favor
of the free coinage of silver.

TILE MI IER DEESYIn Y


AT the last session Of the United
troduced proposition, which is still
pending, to repeal what is known as tho
Sherman silver act, providing for the
purchase by the government of 4, 800, 900
ounces of silver bullion monthly. Mr..
Sherman also made Il speech in the SEN
ate in which, referring to this act, he
said: Il can say myself that there are
possibilities in the future in respect to
that law which would make me as anx-
ious to repeal it rs L was reluctant to
vote for 1T. In the first place
it has disappointed our expectations in
one particular-thc purchase of large
sums OF silver, including the whole
American product, did not stop the de-
cline Of silver. That shows. therefore,
that the decline does not occur from
causes here, but that it occurs from
causes abroad"
In a late interview Senator Sherman
stated that he was still in favor OF re-
pealing the silver act and should be
glad to forward II movement looking to
that end. He said that the act had for
some time been source of emblrrass-
ment, and if it continues on the statute
books it will prove as annoying to Mr..
Clevcland's administration as it has
proved to President uarrison's. The
house stood in the way Of the repeal of tho
act at the last session and Senator Sher-
man thought that would be the difficulty
at the coming session, unless the demo.
cratic leaders who favor repeal can per-
suade the majority in the house to agroe
TO the proposition. 1t would seem that
this might be done in view of the fact
that the democratic platform denouaces
the republican legislation known as
the sherman act of 1870 as II cowardly
makeshift fraught with possibilities of
danger in tho future, which should
make all of its supporters, as we'll as its
author, anxious for its speedy repeal. -
With this utterance of the national con
vention in favo' of the repeal of the sill
YER law, and such leaders MS Carlisle
! and Hill committed to it, the democrats
in the house will hardly be able TO ius.
| tify themselves in refusal to support a
! proposition for repeal. Stlll majority
OF them are likely to oppose such a
proposition unless they can have assur
ance OF moro radical legislation regard
ing silver. All those who voted at the
hrst session for the Tree coinage of silver
may be expected to antagonize the
abandonment OF the present law, under
which the silver product OF this coun-
Try Is taken by the government, il they
see no prospect OF getting free coinage
in place of II, The south as eagerly de.
sires free and unlimited coinage as do

qHE OCEAN MlIL CONTRACTS.


There is some talk ir democratic cir
clcs to the OBJECT that the Fifty-thtd con.
grcss may repudiate the policy OF sub.
sldizing mail steamship lines, and it
has been stated that there is possibll-
lty that appropriations for such service
may be refused. This new ocean mail
serv ce, now only partially established,
is being carried on under contracts with
the government which cannot be an
nulied, though democratic congress
could decline to appropriate the money
required and thus subject the govern
ment to actions for recovery in the
court of claims by the steamship COM
panies with which agreements have
been entered into. There are now five
OF these lines carrying United States
mails to South American ports under
contracts whose validity cannot be de-
MED. and it is only few weeks since
the government mado further contracts
with the International Steamship COM
pany, the most important Of all, for mail
service between this country and Ant
werp and Liverpool. The famous
steamships oluy VI l'uFlS anu NlIy VI
New York and five othors, upon which
work is about to begin in n Philadelphia
shipyard, will belong to this liue, which
is thoroughly American enterprise.
The contract with the international
line does not take effect until 1896, when
the new ships arc to be completed and
ready for service.
1t rotrenchment shall be found neces-
sary it is to be hoped that it may take
some other form, as tho government
mail contracts now promise to give
| II great stimulus to the building and
| operating of steamships in the United
| States The contracts that have al
| ready been entered into, however, are
said TO bo perfectly binding. so that
apart from any patriotic considerations
the congressional action suggested
would entail loss upon the country. The
proper thing for the democratic party
to do is to endorse the republican policy
OF encouraging the revival Of our mer-
| chant marine.

ANOTHER week OF the regular winter
packing season at South Omaha has sur
passed the record of the corresponding
week last year, while all of the other
packing centers have had decided
falling off, There is every prospect
that the business OF tho local houses
will continue TO increase throughout
the season and that long stride
toward second place will be taken dur
ing the coming year. 1t is significant
that while this increase is going on here
there is large decrease everywhere else.
This bears out the prediction made
months ago that the improved transpor-
talon advantages would make South
Omaha the most popular of all the live
stock markets.

rnE INTERESTS or THE SCHOOL,

~
Petty parlisanship in the Board of
Education, trivial rs it may seem. af-
fords proof OF the soundness of the posi-
tion long ago taken by TIE BEE in be-
half OF a nonpartisan board, composed
of men who have deep interest in the
welfare of our public schools.
There appears to be no good excuse
for the delay in making provision for
the relief of the schools from the over
crowded condition that has for some
time been source of annoyance and IL
just cause of complaint. 1t was prom
ised months ago that the Central school
would soon be ready for use and that
the oyercrowded condition of the High
school would be relieved. 1t now ap-
pears that nothing is being done in that
direction and that there is no immedi-
ate prospect of any action.
No explanation of the causes which
have occasioned tho delay in tho work
upon school buildings will be satisfac-
tory to the people. All of the parties to
the various disputes and squabbles by
which progress has been hindered have
excuses Of their own by which somebody
else is shown to be to blame; but the
fact remains that such personal matters
have no place in the deliberations of a
school board and tho average citizen is
not concerned in them. What the peo-
pie want is action, intelligent, unselfish
and energetic action in behalf of the
highest public interests. There ought
to be AN end OF personal disputes and
petty politics in the Board of Education
