HlLL NOT ARBITRAT TIE.

According to London dispatch the
reply of the British government to the
note of our government regarding the
Venezuelan controversy has been for
warded and should reach this country
the present week 1t Is said that Great
Britain refuses to arbitrate as to any of
the territory within what Is known as
the Schomburg line, Il boundary estab-
lished by n survey made some years
ago and which Venezuela claims EN-
braces territory belonging to that coun-
try. If this shall prove to be the case
it will be very likely to raise serious
issue between the governments of Great
Britain and the United States.
This government has taken no equiv
ocal position regarding the Venezuelan
boundary dispute. 1t has in the plain
est possible terms consistent with dip
lomatic usage Informed the British gov
ernment that il regards the controversy
proper one for arbitration, which
should include all the territory in dis
pute, and not such part of 1t as Great
Britain may be willing to submit to ar
refusal of the British government to ne,
cede to this view would be regarded
as unfriendly. 1t would seem that after
these representations, accompanied with
the declartion of the policy of this coun-
try In regard to the forclble increase by
any European power of its territorial
possessions in this hemisphere, but one
course remains in the event of British
rejection of the proposal to arbitrate
and that is for our government to for
mally protest against any attempt on
the part of Great Britain to forcibly
possess and hold the disputed territory
and to warn that government that the
United States will not permit this to
be done.

ENCOURAGE IMMIGRATION.

One of Nebraska's most pressing
needs is a more rapidly increasing popu-
lation. The only way to multiply popu-
lation beyond the rate of natural in
crease is by the stimulation of immigra-
tion. If million or even a half million
immigrants could be induced to come
to Nebraska and settle in this state by
the year 1900, the restoration of un-
exampled prosperity would be more
than assured. More people to till the
soil means more people to consume the
products of home manufacturers and
more people to purchase the commodi-
ties handled by our jobbers and retail
merchants. With territory capable of
supporting ten times the population now
within its borders, Nebraska has every
thing to gain and nothing to lose by at
tracing worthy immigrants.
Whether the effort to encourage immi-
grafton into Nebraska goes by the name
of the Million club or by some other
name is immatcrial. That there should
be some systematic work in this direc-
ton under the patronage of strong
and determined organization of Ne
braska citizens will be admitted by all
The plan of operation should be thor
oughly studied out and carefully
arranged for every detail. If the
Manufacturers and Consumers as
sociation or any other body of
representative and responsible men
will take the initiative in the mat
ter it may confidently count upon the
approval and the backing of the whole
liberal citizenship of the state.

A MAINE IDEA.
aDc,irium Trcmcns stntcsmHnship''
from the Far Northeast.
ST. Louis Globe -Dcmocrat

X.
Senator William 7. Frye OF Maine Is sort
Of a partisan who is plentiful in both organ
izatlons. but who does much more harm to
his own side than he does to the opposition
The Maine statesman, in telling how the
republican party is going to manage anairs
when It gets complete control In 1897, says
that at will run this government on the
receipts from a protective tariff dropping
internal taxes altogether He also says
'the woolen mills must stand the present
condition two years longer" because the
republican party is not going to touch tarln
in the present congress, and he adds. cheer-
fully, that "if they Uhe mills) survive TINS
period they will do better than l expect"
That is to say. the wooden mills are running
at such heavy loss now that he thinks
most Of them are likely to go into bank
ruptcy before two years more.
How does the Maine statesman suppose
that 1856, 900, 900, or thereabouts. the amount
of the governments expenditures in the fiscal
year which ended four OF five months ago,
can be obtained from customs alone? II
the internal taxes-the taxes on whisky beer,
and tobacco, which yield from sl50,OOO,O 900 to
S160, 900, 900 year-are to be abolished, ana
he evidently thinks they ought to be and
will be, the entire expenses of the govern
ment. except s1S,000000 or $20,000,O0O OBJ
taned from miscellaneous sources, must come
from the tariff. The largest receipts from
the Mckinley tarin were S2O3, ,O0O,O 900 in the
fiscal year 1890. for that act was not in opera
ton throughout the whole of the fiscal year
1891, when the customs amounted to S219,-
00O, 900. The highest point ever reached by
the customs was in 1890, when they touched
s230, 900, 900. According to the Frye idea
the republican party is going to raise over
500, 900, 900 a year more from the tariff than
was ever raised from that source before
for at least $685. 900 900 would be needed in
addition to the s2OOO0,00O obtained from all
other sources outside OF the whisky, beer
and tobacco taxes, to meet the expenses of
the government.
This, of course, is the maddest sort Of
folly Moreover. Frye imagines that this
is protection. In reality II Is free trade,
or rather, what technically figures as such.
In order to get anything like the amount
from customs which would be needed under
the Frye scheme the duties would have to
be cut to the revenue point, and duties
would have to be imposed on tea. coffee
and other articles which the republicans
made free and want to keep free. The
tariff, that is to say, would have to be con-
structed on the British model throughout
and have to extend to every article Of i'm
port Neither William h. Morrison. Roger
Q. Mills nor any other democrat ever pro-
posed would favor any such sweeping
reduction of duties as would be necessary
under the program which this wild man
from the Maine woods proposes. 1t is easy
to see that Frye is as ignorant regarding
the incidence of taxation as he is of the
ideas and intentions Of the republican party.
party on the Frye plan would quickly
meet overwhelming and deserved disaster.

SPEAKER REED.

Chicago Record: Mr.. Reed is right. Re-
sentatlves will be a good thing but a little
horse sense In the conduct OF legislation
will be more appreciated even than man
ners,
Denver Republican: Speaker Reed made
very brief and sensible speech in accepting
the speakership Of the house. He Is altogether
the flttest man for the place and business

and experienced direction.
Courer-Journal: Taken altogether. in splits
OF its Delphic character the brief address
OF Mr.. Reed points to a do-nothng policy
on the part OF congress as the best in his
opinion for the interest OF his party in gen.
eral and Mr.. Reed in particular. But will
he be able to restrain his team Of wild
horses?
Philadelphia Record: Mr.. Reeds speech
in accepting the caucus nomination OF his
party for the speakership OF the house wai
expected to be brief, but in avoiding all refer
ence to the questions that are now exciting
the interest OF the business men OF the coun-
try he has left the impression upon the pub
lie mind that presidential bee is buzzins

st. Paul Pioneer-Press; The result will
show whether he (Reed) has the statesmans
highest gift-the gift OF knowing the right
thing to do at the right time and the courage
TO do 1t. He is a great parliamentary leader.
No one doubts his patriotism. But is he
a statesman OF the order of statesmen
whom the people instinctively choose as their
leaders in great crises?

The minority resolutions offered at the
"transmississippi gathering in Omaha de-
clared that
1--WE believe this long-continued agitation
of the silver question has had much to do
with the present financial depression, pro-
ducing want of confidence, threatening sta
bility and permanency of prices, and Is
constant menace to the national credit, en-
citing apprehension abroad and uncertainty
at home" ~ :,
This is exactly true The financial de-
preston, which began in 1888 was due to
fears for the stability of the currency unit
and apprehensions of democratic tinkering
with the tariff. 1t was this that caused the
temporary appreciation in the purchasing
power of money, which the majority reso-
iutions falsely ascribe to an appreciating
money standard and to an "outlawry OF
silver" which has not occurred. Had 1t not
been for those fears, justified by the agta-
ton for "free silver and for free trade"
there would have been no business paraly-
sis and no material change in the power of
the currency unit to buy either labor or
the products of labor 1t was those agta-
tions which brought about the panics of
1898, and the free silver extremists are doing
all in their power to nullify the good effects
of returning confidence. Their remedy for
a disease Is more of the poison which
caused it," and apparently they are resolved
that their unatic efforts will not cease till
either the patient or the self-appointed doc
tor Is killed off.

Allison who has some friends in Nebraska,

Harrington Herald; The Omaha Bee wants

neminates Omaha as a candidate for its To-
cation. To enumerate the benefits that

require more pages than a single issue of

suggestion most heartily, and offer second

at which the sound money democrats shall
be arrayed upon one side and the allied
forces of the free silver democrats upon the

Vents for Public Indignation.


When public indignation once reaches the
boiling point 1t has to find vent hole. 1t
does not make much difference what the vent
hole happens to be, but there must be one.
In Texas a negro usually serves the purpose,
but out west they have a more harmless and
at the same time an effective method Of
letting off the steam of disapprobation
Waverly, Neb was short time ago af-
fiicted with two elopements occurring at one
and the same time, and thereby robbing the
town of four OF its Inhabitants. This immedi-
ately stirred Waverly to a pitch of indigna-
tion never known before. The indignation
grew and grew, but the four causes were
nowhere in sight and there was nothing to
vent it on. At last when the town was so
full of pent-up Indignation that 1t was likely
of the prairies the citizens held a meeting
in the town hall and discussed their plight.
The town sages lent words of counsel and
finally knot-hole was discovered, and the
Indignation was set free.
Two committees were appointed, one of
men and one of women, and these two COM
mittees drew up two sets of resolutions.
The resolutions drawn up by the women S
committee contained the Indignation of the
women, and the committee of men EN-
bodied all the manly Indignation in their
resolutions.
Whether these resolutions will be tackled
on the door of the town hall so that he who
runs may read, or will be ordered to be
not announced. But whatever secondary
the good people of Waverly may deem
fit to put these resolutions to they have at
least served the primary object Of letting
Indignation loose without doing the Slight
est harm to anyone
