army. yet Congressman Mercer OF Nebraska
thinks we should provide more facilities foi

fore will introduce bill for the establish
ment Of another military academy like West
Point, to be located In the neighborhood ol
Omaha.
Des Mones Leader: Representative Mer-
GER OF Nebraska has bill. He intends iu-
PRODUCING 1t into the next congress. 1t pro-
vides that second United states military
academy shall be established with Its locus
Omaha. Mr.. Mercer will probably get his
military academy for Omaha about the time
Representative Hun gets the military post
for Des Mones.
Buffalo Express: Representative Mercer
Of Nebraska thinks the country needs
another military academy In addition TO West
Point and will undertake next winter to get
congress to have one located in Nebraska,
West Point seems to be ample to meet the
needs of our present army. 1t would be
wise, however to establish West Point pre-
paratory schools the students to be regular
enlisted men. and to receive an education
corresponding TO the ordinary high school
training, as compensation for three years
service as soldiers. Thus our standing army
would become thoroughly American and re-
publican. Men wishing to adopt the military
profession permanently and showing the
requisite proficiency could be sent to West
Point from the training schools and be
educated for officers.

SPEAKING ABOUT ALLISON.

Minneapolis Times: Senator Allison is the
kind of a candidate for president who does
not propose to join the procession until 1t is
ready TO start
Chicago Times-Ilerald; Senator Allison
VIII not engage in a scramble for the presi-
dency. At the same time IL the scramble
happens TO take place In the 1owans imme-
date vicinity he will not deem il his duty
to gather up the skirts of his toga and run
away.
Seattle Times: Senator Allison is not one
Of those who believe that the office should be
allowed to seek the man entirely without as
s.stance on the part of the man, and SO he
has come out Of the wilds Of Iowa and started
what he admits is an aggressive canvass for
the presidential nomination
Chicago Chronicle: Senator Allson's plat
form as a candidate for the republican presi
dental nomination is very simple and has the
great merit Of candor and dignity. He says:
Il want it, but l shall not scramble for It,"
Compared with the perfect frankness and
decency of this statement the candidates cut
poor figure who admit that they are "in the
hands of their friends" or would accept the
nomination IL rendered to them" Every
body knows that each of them wants it as
badly as Allison does, but has not the honesty
to say so. And most Of them will be in
scramble for 1t before three months

Pacific railway is bound TO manage and
operate It's own telegraph line. The chief
Importance Of this decision Is that II IN
based upon a broad and comprehensive
Interpretation OF law, which is likely in the
end To put an end to several mouopolies
that were supposed to be beyond successful
attack upon legal grounds.
Philadelphia Press: The supreme court &
the United States has rendered righteoss
decision in declaring null and void the con-
tracts between tho Union Pacific Railroad
company aud the Western Union Telegraph
company, by which the latter was given the
sole right 90 maintain telegraph lines along
the railroad. The decision goes farther and
declares that any telegraph company which
accepts the terms Of the act Of 1866 has the
right to place It's poles on any postal route
Of the United states. provided it does not
interfere with the operation Of the railroad
This will put an end to the injustice under
which railroad companies, granted special
powers by the government, force monopoly
in another line OF business. The course OF
the Union Pacific. a road virtually paid for
by the people, was particularly unjust. IL
will now have to operate its own telegraph
line and afford the same facilities to Az
other companies.

FIVE MILLIOi,S GOING OFT.

Today's steamers for Europe will
take out nearly S5,OOO.O0O in gold, max
ing for the week ST,5O0OOO. This re-
duccs the treasury gold reserve to a
little over $S2.000,O00, with a prospect
of a further demand upon it next week
and the certainty of Il heavy drain ut
the beginning of the new year, only
about five weeks hence. 1t is n fact es-
tablished by experience that If the re-
serve cannot be increased in October
and November, months usually marked
by large gold imports, there is little
hope of increasing it during any other
part of the year, SO that instead of
looking for an improvement in the re-
serve there is every reason to expect n
steady and perhaps rapid decline.
There is Il plausible explanation by
treasury official of this weeks export
movement but it omits one very impor-
tant consideration. That Is the fact
that we are rapidly increasing the vol
ume of our Indebtedness to Europe
through excessive importations. OF
course this is the effect of the demo-
cratic tariff and therefore would not be
taken into account by democratic
official, although obviously the chief
cause of the outward flow of gold. 1t is
stated from Washington that no prepa-
rations are making for bond issue
and If course the administration will
want to see what congress may pro-
pose, but another issue of bonds within
the next ninety days is highly probable.
If not inevitable. 1t is not apparent
that congress can do anything to
avert il.

UNION PACIFIC TELEGRAPH.

Davenport Republican: The supreme court
of the United States has declared void the
contract between the Union Pacific railway
and the Western Union Telegraph company
by which the railroad company binds itself to
allow no telegraphic competition along its
line. The effect of this will open the way
for other telegraph lines between Omaha and
Ogden, and is certainly in the interest of
the peoples business.
Springfield Republican: According to the
unanimous decision of the United States SUI
preme court the Western Union company
must get off the line of the Union Pacific
Railroad company and the latter must it
self operate the wires on it's right-of-way.
Western Union stock fell about two points
yesterday, which reflects the first opinion
OF Wall street as to the damage done to the
company by the decision.
Denver Republican,: This decision may
result in greatly reducing telegraph tolls
between points along the line of the Union
Pacific system. The charter Of the company
requires it to maintain telegraph system,
but this obligation was avoided for years by
a lease to the Western Union under which
the latter acquired the exclusive right tc
use the Union Pacific wires. 1t is hoped
that in a short time the railroad company.
whether it wants to or not, will begin opsr-
atng its lines, and that thus the Western
Union will be compelled to make better
rates to people living in the far west.
Philadelphia Times: The ground of the
opinion is, first, that any telegraph COM
pany accepting the terms of the act Of 1866
has the right to place its poles OH any postal
route of the United States, providing they
do not interfere with the operation of the

THE HOUSE OFFICES.

The contest of the candidates for the
offices in the new house of representa-
tives is becoming very ardent and of
course will grow more spirited as the
time of the meeting of congress ap-
proaches. All the candidates have
headquarters established in Washing
ton and they and their friends are re.
ported to be industriously button-holing
arriving members. The greatest inter
est centers in the office of clerk, which
is very responsible and honorable
position. At present the prominent can,
didates are Mr.. Mcdowell of Pennsyl-
vania and Mr.. Henderson of Illinois,
both Representatives, and while 1t is
probable that one of these will be
man will carry off the prize. Other de-
sirable positions are those of door
keeper, postmaster, and sergeant-at-
arms, for each of which there are sew
eral candidate tes
1t Is not commonly known that the
patronage of these elective offices of
the house of representatives is very
large, while the emoluments are also
considerable. The aggregate salaries
paid subordinate officers of the house,
not including clerks of committees and
individual clerks to members, Is $257,-
700 per annum, distributed as follows:
Clerk OF the house, $4,000; doorkeeper,
$1i0,3OO; postmaster, $4,000: sergeant
alarms, $4,000. These officials receive
good salaries. The salaries of commit
tee clerks, personal clerks to mem
bers and other beneiciaries will
swell the figures to about $780,
600 n year, which is the amount
paid for the clerical and mechanical
services employed by the house of rep
resentatives. 1t will thus be seen that
the house officials have the dispensing
of considerable sum of money and
IL in addition there be taken into ac-
count the'salaries of 356 representatives
at 5000 per annum each ii will be
found that the popular branch of CON
gress is a quite expensive body. The
cost of running the senate. however, is
proportionately greater than for run
ming the house. The Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger

RESClND THAT RESOLUTION.

The charter provision concerning the
| bond of the city treasurer may not br
rs specific as it should be. but it can
not possibly be construed into authority
for the council to fix the amount of tn"
bond below twice the sum that is likely
10 come into the custody of the treas.
| urer at any one time.
On August 81 the balance in the city
treasury was S3540Oo, and in all like
lihood the balances in the treasury Oh
August |, 1886, and on August 1, 1897,
will not fall below that amount. The
taxes collected during 1896 and 1897
may fall below the average of recent
years, but the amount of money likely
to be in the treasury is almost certain
property owners default on their tax
payments. There are now S1,6O0.00
of short-time city bonds outstanding
which are payable from the proceeds of
special tax levies. a large portion of
these bonds falls due every year. If
the grading and paving taxes remain
unpaid new bonds must be sold to take
UP tilOSe tildl HuNe lluluEeu. ue pro-
ceeds of these refunding bonds usually
remain in the treasury from thirty to
ninety days. During this period the
balances in the treasury are swelled by
whatever amounts have been realized
from bond sales. This condition of
affairs must necessarily be taken into
consideration in estimating the amount
of money likely to come into the hands
of the new city treasurer. 1t is GER
tain that the treasurer will oftencr
have in his custody from 100000 to
100000 of public funds than he will
less than 100000.
The law does not contemplate strik
ing of averages. On that basis the
treasurer who had half n million in his
custody one month in the year, 50OOO
during two months in the year, 100000
during four months in the year and
$4,000 during the remaining two
months would be allowed to give n
bond for oniy $4,000. Would that
meet the requirements of the law?
Would bond for $l22,000 afford ade-
quate security against embezZlement
during the month when there was
half million dollars in the custody of
the treasurer? This is not an improb-
able estimate. 1t is precisely the con-
dition of the school fund balances.
At the beginning of the year
100000 comes into the school
treasury, while during half the
year the ledger shows deficit.
Assume that the treasurer handles
S4000G0 during the year, that half that
sum is in his possession one month
and the other 100000 is scattered over
the period of eleven months with aver
age monthly balances of $4,000, his
bond on the basis of computed averages
would be only $4,000, when under the
law it should be not less than 100000.
And even If he had only $150,O00 at
the beginning of the year it should be
not less than $300,0OO.
In overriding the law the council has
set II pernicious example. The resolu
ton to reduce the treasurer's bond to
100000 should be rescindcd. The
bond of the present incumbent is below
the requirements of the law and
further reductionof$ 10000 is carrying
it to the danger point

The fact cannot be emphasized too strongly
that makeshift currency legislation is bane-
full. The greenback first issued as tenn
porary expedient, made necessary by the exi-
gencies Of war, has been retained in our cur
rency system largely as a concession to po-
liticaI expediency. But before retiring green
backs the government must be prepared to
fill their place. A plentiful, elastic and safe
currency is necessary. The greenback has
served a good purpose in the financial system
of the nation. If its period of usefulness is
at an end II should now be retired only in
