The recent trip of the United States
gunboat Concord up the Mississippi was
an interesting event. The Concord, which
is of 1,700 tons and draws about fifteen
feet and a half of water, was ordered to
Memphis to take part in the celebration
of the opening of the new cantllever
bridge to travel. From Memphis she
proceeded up stream to Cairo, and at one
time the Navy department contemplated
sending the trim white cruiser on to st.
Louis. Fears of shoal water prevented
the project from being carried out, much
to the disappointment of the St. Louis.

garded naval progress with indifference
if not with hostility. As an object

All this talk about the republicans being
at sea for a candidate in the event OF
BIaine's ultimate refusal is nonsense.
Why, there's Bob Lincoln, as bright and
clever a man as could be found, and one in
every way fitted to hold the Office. He
need not be considered on his fathers &C.
count, but on his own. Young Lincoln's
record Is enough to make him a popular
candidate. Judge Gresham is a grand
man, but capital is afraid of him, and
capital is more powerful than numbers in
a case like this. Still there seems every
probability that Blaine will accept the
nomination if it is offered, and that will
end the speculation.

TWENTY years ago a frolicsome COW
kicked owe a lamp, and the resulting
fire destroyed the city of Chicago; a few
days ago a COW and calf stood on a
western railway track and gave up their
lives, for the sole purpose of derailing a
train and causing a wreck; not long ago
a Bismarck COW became reckless, staid
out late, one night, and was impounded,
giving rise to a long editorial in a
neighboring paper. From these dire
mlstortunes, it is evident that the COW is
a beast of ill.omen. and should be
abolished.

The weekly report of Henry Clews &
Company, the New York bankers, dis
cusses as follows, upon the financial
situation:
The supreme condition affecting the
stock market is the crop prospect as intiu-
enced by the current weather, and that
factor is now less uncertain than it was a
week ago. Expectations as to the wheat
crop are improving, but are still strictly
moderate. At the moment, it seems
probable that in some sections the crop
may be poor, while in most it may prove
fair, and in a few really good: still, these
probabilities may easily change within q
few days for better or for worse. The
June report of the department of agricul-
ture will be forthcoming in a few DAYS,
which will afford more definite data than
anything yet forthcoming as to the pros
poets OF winter wheat. The prospects of
spring wheat and of corn must remain in
the dark until those crops have reached
the earlier stages of development. But &C.
ceptlnR the most moderate current expect
atoms as to the wheat crop, the heavy sur
plus left over from last year may be ex-
pected to bring up the exportable supply
to about average dimensions. That can.
not yet be said of the corn crop, and that
is the fact which weighs most heavily on
the stock market.

The increase of railroad earnings shows
that the volume of products moved ex-
ceeds all precedent. Merchanting, though
conducted with conservatism and perhaps
generally on moderate profits, is yet active.
In certain trades, there is an undoubted
over-supply of products, notably so in the
iron trade, WOODEN manufactures, and COT
ton goods. In the two former, the trouble
is perhaps principally due to tho tariff
having drawn out increased investments
in mills; but to the public at large there is
an indirect benefit in cheap goods, and to
merchants the advantage of increased

the importation Of patent medicines into

THAT TREASURER BUSINESS.

At the opening Of the session Repre-
sentative Ebbinghausen introduced a
resolution that the encouragement of
the state be requested to make an exam
ination of the affairs of the Office of state
treasurer, for the reason that it was cur
rently reported that the treasurer was
drawing interest from the different banks
on the funds entrusted to his charge.
With little discussion, on motion of Rep
resentative Kearney, the matter was
tabled.
Yesterday at the opening Of the ses-
sion Mr., Ebbinghausen asked that the
resolution be expunged from the record
for the reason that other parties than
himself we're accused of being the author
of the same. This motion was unani-
mously carried and SO far as the official
record Of the house Is concerned there
has been nc attempt to take action in
the matter.
But, the question having come up, has
it ever occurred to you that even if
Treasurer Booker had received large
sums Of money as interest, the resolution
is of no binding force az far as the out
come is concerned. The TRIBUNE does
not profess to be learned in legal lore,
but it states as a fact that the courts of
the country, so far as they have passed
upon. the question, say that, in the alb
seuce of legislative direction to the con-
trary, the treasurer is not responsible to
the state for any interest he may
receive on state funds. The reason for
this to the TRIBUNE is quite clear. I'm
der the constitution the treasurer is re-
sponsible for every cent he may receive.
II he places it in some, bank and that
bank fails, the treasurer's responsibility
is not thereby lessened. On the CON
trary himself or bondsmen must reim-
burse the state.

HARRISON RENOMINATED.

And Harrison is nominated on the
first ballot. This was a surprise to
many persons who have been specula-
ting as to the result of the convention.
Not long ago, at least before Blaine's
resignation, the voice of the party
seemed to cry "Blaine," "Blaine." But
that great leader lost many of his
staunchest supporters when he resigned
from the cabinet. The explanation
given for resigning was decidedly I'M
satisfactory to many republican supper
tiers, and Blaine became looked upon
suddenly with distinct disfavor. But
even as late as Thursday the sentiment
of delegates as shown by the press
seemed to favor the Plumed Right, and
not until balloting began was Harrison's
great strength evinced. The contest,
from the first resolved itself in to a strug-
gle between the two great party leaders.
While there was some talk of a dark
horse, in the case of a decided deadlock
between these two, yet it was an almost
assured fact that the nomination would
go to one of them. The great question
was, ION whom will the honor fall" and
this has been decided.
Blaine is an eminent statesman, and of
this fact no one will attempt a denial.
But whether this craftsmanship is evil
dence of an ability to occupy the high
est position, the gift of which is the
greatest in the power of the people to
bestow, has long been a question in
the minds Of some. The contest at
Minneapolis involved no principle of re-
publican policy. 1t did not embody any
dispute as to party principles. 1t was
wholly a difference of opinion as to
which of the two great leaders would be
the stronger candidate before the people,
and the better able to fill and discharge
the duties Of a position, his ability to
fill which is vouched for by the republic
can party when he is nominated. This
is the sole cause for difference of opion-
ion. The party itself is a unit, in it's
opinion on all of the great issues of the
period; and now, more than ever before,
is it closely welded together.
The record of the Harrison admins
tration is one of the strongest argu-
ments which can be advanced for a re-
newed lease of power. The brilliancy
of its domestic and foreign policy, the
dignified and able settlement of all
troubles and complications with foreign
powers, and the absolute freedom from
scandal of any description marks the
administration as one of the best.
The record of the administration is a
record of duties performed, not a record
of broken or unfulflled promises.
And now that the great battle is over,
there should aud will be no soreness, no
ranking wounds. The delegates of the
people have decided that Harrison is
able and competent to serve the people
in a presidential capacity. And, instead
of any factional bitterness, there will be
a frmer bond, to join the factions, sepa-
rated on a difference of opinion as to the
candidate, better able to occupy the
position of president of the grandest
country OF earth; a band that shall unite
to sweep the country as a flood, and
carry a party working for the best inter-
ests Of the people, on to a brilliant and
glorious victory.

Rev. SANDY WASHINGTON, of st. Paul,
the missionary. who recently went to
Liberia to spread the gospel, has re-
turned with most unfavorable reports of
that sub-tropic land. Like all other
men who have actually visited this for
saken region he found Siberia totally un-
fitted for the habitation Of mankind
whether white, yellow or black. Con-
verts could only be secured by liberal
brides, and woe prevailed generally. It
is high time that the farce of attempting
to settle this forsaken region with
American negroes should be definitely
abandoned. According to the Ameri-
can, Liberia is entirely untitled for
human babitation. The climate is
pestilential to the last degree. The soil
is barren. There can be no commerce,
for the products of the back lying
country are worthless. Nevertheless,
the society established for that purpose
still continues to send out an annual
ship load of American negroes to this
equatorial cemetery. After their ar
rival they relapse into barbarism-such
is the testimony of all men who know
ought of Liberia and it's ways. The
American negro can neither be trans
ported to Liberia or any other place. He
is now six millions strong and is an
American IN all but color. His ultimate
destiny Is with that of the American. No
make-shift of transportation or removal
can alter this self evident fact.-Minne-

came before the supreme court of Ne
vada and was decided by that body less
than sixty days ago. Under precisely the
same constitutional provisions as ours
the attorney general was directed to
enter action for interest money alleged
to have been received by the treasurer:
In the lower court it was held that the
state could not recover. On appeal the
decision was unanimously affirmed.
Quoting from the opinion of that court
we find: IA state treasurer, who by the
constitution is made absolutely liable
for money received as treasurer, is not
liable for interest received on money de-
posted in bank" A number of differ
ent jurisdictions have passed upon this
question. In New York the matter came
up; likewise in Illinois, Georgia, Ken
lucky and Indiana. The reasoning of
all the courts that have passed upon
the matter is that where the treasurer Is
personally liable for the funds he cannot
be required to pay I'VE any interest re-
ceived. The courts say that the legal
rule in regard to ordinary trustees does
not apply to a public officer, who is an
insurer of the money. The authorities
upon this point, SO far as we have been
able to see them, are uniform.
The law being against the resolution
we are at loss to see the reasons for the
same and are glad the author has seen
tit to withdraw them and rely upon the
responsibility and integrity of the state
treasurer to pay over to his successor in
office whatever may belong to the state.
