SPEAKING of the increased repre-
sentatiOn in the Republican state
convention, the Rock County Herald
says: '"The purpose sought by this in
crease in representation is to get a
better expression of the wishes of the
people. A large convention is not
only likely to be more fairly repre-
sentative than smaller one, but more
than that it is less likely to be in
fluenced by the wire-pullers and pro-
fessional politicians who live by the
fruits of their skill in making combi-
nations and shaping results to suit
their own interests. The larger the
convention the more it represents,
and the more it represents the honest
rank and file of the party the more
the political schemers, manipulators,
and party parasites stand in awe
of it,"

GOV. NELSON'S VISIT.

Gov. Nelson arrived on the eight
o'clock train last evening over the
Omaha road and was met at the de-
pot by delegation of citizens and es-
corted to The Saulpaugh where many
other citizens had the pleasure OF
meeting him. At $3.50 he went to the
Normal school and spent the remain
der of the evening at the reception
given by the faculty to the gradual
ing class.
This morning the Board OF Trade
committee called on him by appoint
ment, at the hotel, and had talk
with him concerning increasing the
amount of insurance on the Normal
school building. The amount here
tofore carried has been $4,000, but
the policy of letting this lapse had
been inaugurated, and by next fall
there would have been no insurance
remaining. The committee present.
ed the matter very thoroughly, and
Gov. Nelson conceded the necessity
for more insurance and promised to
recommend that it be increased to
$4,000. He said that the Normal
board would be the body to see regard
ing the matter.
The Governor did not get time to go
through the Normal school, owing to
his many callers to-day, but fromiWhat
he saw of it last night he expressed
himself as much pleased with the
changes

GREED GONE MAD.

Professor Edward W. RENTS of the Uni
versity of Chicago contributes an article to
the Outlook which goes to the root of the
present coal strike. Taking the census OF
1890 as bis authority he says:
The average wages Of the 24.323 miners In
Illinois were only Sc 81 week; of the 9,59l
OHIO miners, Sc 76; of the $3.50 bituminous
miners of Pennsylvania, 81 80. aud of the
1869 anthracite men, Sc 81. The report for
1892 of the Ohio Bureau of Labor Statistics
confirms this. for 1t gives the average weekly
earnings in 1892 in that State as Sc 81. In
most States wages average about 81 day.
when the men have work, but this is usually
not over 200 days in the year.
These rates had been reduced about one
third when the men threw down their
tools. The contract entered into between
coal operators and railroad managers re-
ducing the lrlce of coal, ranging from
50 % to So So last year. when the wage
rate printed above was in effect. to 81 90.
involved One-thlrd reduction. The ques-
ton now to be considered is, Who is
responsible for the strike? Another ques-
ton is, Who will profit by it? VIII not
the losses incident to the strike be a hun
bred times greater than the amount the
operators hoped to save in wages?

WILL ITALY SELL HER ART
TREASURES?

Although the Government of Italy has
succeeded 10 crushing the rebellion in
Sicily the cause of the discomfort, of which
that movement was an outward and visi-
BILE sign. is still in full operation and the
problem Of Italy is as far from solution as
ever. Signor Crispi says that this years
deficit will amount to So, O00.000 and that
there is no way to meet it except by in
creasing the taxation of people who are
already exhausted and on the edge of
starvation. The budget of 1894 was
cooked SO as TO show a deficit of $500, 200
only; the truth only came out when the
tax collectors made their returns. The
receipts from customs, income tax, tobacco
monopoly, internal revenue land tax and
railways. which are the chief sources of
Government revenue, fell so seriously be-
low the estimates that the Government is
at this moment practically bankrupt and
is driven to auth orize increased taxation,
which will produce little or nothing.
Under these circumstances it has been
proposed that King Humbert shall extri-
cate himself from his endorsements by
selling some of the art treasures with
which Italy abounds and which are the
property of the nation. Some years age,
in previous period of financial siringency.
this device was proposed as measure of
relief. But Signor Pacea proposed and the
Cham bers passed bill not only prohibit.
ing the sale of works of art and antiquity
belonging to the nation, but made sale of
such works by individual owners Illegal.
One nobleman who. like many of bis class
had been impoverished by the march of
civilization, evaded the law by selling the
masterpieces of his art collection in Paris
and London and replacing them with
copies which were CLOSED with all the ap-
pearances of age. But the Prince Borg
hese refused TO resort to any such trick
He is an actual pauper, while his priceless
art treasures still adOrn the walls of The
palace beyond the reach of his creditors
The question has now been raised whether
it would not be good idea to repeal the
Pacea law and to let the Government and
nOblemen Of Italy liquidate, as sensible
people do when they get into tight place.
1t does not admit of argument that a
sum equal TO the present deficit could be
realized In this country alone in exchange
for some of the marvels of art which Italy
contains The United States could proba-
bly, be relied upon for thirty millions a
year for some years in succession If Italy
would part with its treasures. King Um-
berto would not sell st. Peters, or its mo-
sales, or the Colosseum, or the Forum, or
