ton in 1898. He was also the "right I
bower" of William Mckinley in the
most perncious piece of legislation the
country has ever known. which threw
away millions of revenue to the federal
treasury, while increasing the burdens
OF taxation upon every home in the
land.
Finally. it must be remembered that,
as a member OF the upper house OF the
legislative branch of this government,
Mr.. Sherman is part and parcel OF the
government ITSELF just as much as when
he filled place in Republican presi-
dents cabinet. By his vote as a senator
he has sanctioned the grave situation"
which now confrUnts the financial arm
OF that government, and it is now too
late for him to seek an evasion OF the
blame that must follow such acts, or to
shift the burden upon other shoulders.
If he has been reported correctly. then
he is the most cowardly as we'll as the
most unpatriotic OF oar public men.
That such q man could have been born
of the same parents as the grim but
gallant old soldier who will ever pose in
history as the central figure of the great
march from Atlanta TO the sea. seems
almost incredible. The nation has cause
to blush for John Sherman unless he
has been grossly and cruelty misrepre.
sented.

THE attention of the postmaster 10
called to the fact that the card references
to the time when the letters are taken
from the postal boxes in this city are
misleading in numerous instances. For
instance, take the box at the corner Of
Flower and Tenth streets. The contents
are taken from that box an hour or an
hour and a half earlier than the time
indicated on the card. It will be readi-
ly sesn that this discrepancy may often
lead to serious com plications, by un.
necessarily delaying the expediting to
their destination of important letters.

OMAHA, Aug. 1.-THE Union Pacific
Federated board is arranging to have
Receiver McNeill, of the Oregon Short
line, called before the federal court for
taking steps to reduce the wages OF the
employees. This was a great surprise
10 the chairmen Of the various bodies of
railroad men in the west. When the
Oregon WAS part of the Union Pacific
system, the employees were included
in the order of Judges Caldwell
and Sanborn that the old wage
schedule should stand and that no
further reductions should be made, or
no other schedule of rules or regula-
tions should be put in force without
further orders from the court. The
withdrawal of the Oregon and the ap-
pointment OF O separate receiver does
not take it out of the hands of the court
The fret thing the chairman will ascsr-
tain is if MIR. McNeill has been given
authority by the court to ubmit a new
schedule. Ii not, the men claim that he

"PLEASB, SIR, 1T WASN'T ME-

A Boston Republican newspaper has
either misquoted Senator John Sher.
man, of Ohio, or elss that seedy-looking
gentleman in shiny black is a most un-
patriotic individual. He was recently
interviewed in Boston, and the condi-
ton of the national treasury formed part
of the conversation, on which occasion
Mr.. Sherman is reported as having said :
swell, the situation is somewhat grave,
but do not feel like doing anything in
the matter. The Democratic party Is in
power and feel that they should ehoul-
der the responsibility.
1t seems incredible that q man of
Senator Sherman's position in the na-
tion should have been guilty of utter
ances 30 lacking in conscientious senti-
ment and so utterly repugnant to the
popular Interpretation of patriotism.
He has been United States senator
and cabinet officer for, 10 these many
years; and as such he must feel that he
has been a prominent contributor, in
either capacity. to the grave condition
of financial affairs with which the ma
tion is now confronted.
When the party with which ne has
affiliated for lifetime resumed it's con-
troll of the government in 1889, the
national treasury held in its vaults
$97, ,S74, ,422 OF free gold over and above
the 500, 900, 900 reserve. Mr.. Clevelan
and bis cabinet had just gone out OF
Office after having made net gain OF
$54, ,772, 900 in gold imports during the
brief term of four years. The balance
of trade had never been so strong in our
favor.
Contrast that situation with the one
which greeted the popular gaze in
March. 1898. when Mr.. Harrison re-.
turned to his peaceful law practice and
mis- double -barreled shotgun. The treas
ury had been looted by every scheme
that could be forced through the Repu b.
lican houses of congress to the crack of
q party whip. The free gold reserve had
been cut down to less than one million N
dollars, and money had been borrowed
right and left from the kings OF Wall
street. A total loss of $l22, ,624 600 haG
been made in gold exports during Mr..
Harrison's administration, and OF this
over $40, 100000 had been exported dur
Ing the four months preceding the presi.
dental contest of 1892. The annual dis.
bursemeuts OF the nation had become
largely in excess of the receipts of reve-
nue. from all sources, and between
March, 1889, and the same month Of
1898 the pension expenditures, under
the reckless extravaganza OF Corporal
Tanner and his successor, had increased
from $4,000, 900 year to just twice that
sum, while other equally culpable prodi
galties had changed a surplus into a
glnring deficit.
1t is impossible for Mr.. Sherman, as a
senator or cabinet minister, to wash
his hands entirely clear Of share, and
q very prominent ehare, of these de-
plorable results, for there WAS no more
conspicuous figure in the policy which
brought 10 pass these uncontemplated
and calsmitous reverses in the national
finances. He walked up to the bap-
tiemal font as the sponsor OF the silver
purchase bill and helped to start the
cry of "Wolf" by the depletion OF the
gold reserve in the treasury, which was
. pretext, if not valid excuse, for the
6nsncial panic which swept over the ma
