ORGANS AND THINGS,

We are not surprised that the pos
sion as a means of creating discord
in Democratic ranks should seem to
be it's most important relation, as
seen by the Minneapolis Tribune. It
is the view of the partisan rather
than the patriot. But when, in the
same connection, it says that "the
Clio b e is an administration organ"
it utters a deliberate falsehood. The
only possible apology for it is the
quite credible supposition that the
Tribune's conception of a newspa-
per's reason for existing requires it
to be am organ, of somebody or some
thing. Judging from many articles
in it's columns, we think it likely
that this is the case. The G b S
only obligation and only creed is,
fidelity to the right, as God gives it
to see the right"
In the finacial crisis into which
Republican extravaganza in expend-
iture and reduction of revenue by
prohibitory tariffs, together with the
enactment of the Sherman law, had
plunged this country, the course of
the administration seems to US to

Howl in Chicago,

Howl in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Horse meat
has been and is being sold on the
drainage canal to laborers. This meat
has come from diseased and broken
down animals unfit for labor, and pur-
chasable by the men engaged in the
nefarious traffic at from $50 to 50
per horse. The sale has been without
the knowledge of the sanitary inspector
of the channel, DR.. Martin So serious
has the situation become both as to
the use of this meat on the channel
and the expectation of large quanti-
ties of it as canned goods to foreign
countries, that complaint was made
by two foreign consuis today to DR..
Reilly, of the city health department.
The promise was given that, so far
as lay in their power, the department
would destroy the traffic Charles
Henrotin, consul for Belgium, and DR..

We're the foreign representatives who
called on DR.. Reilly. They laid be-
fore him information which they had
collected in regard to the canning
OF horse meat at Summit, also on the
Archer road, just outside of the city
limits, and at Milwaukee avenue and
Division streets, for expectation to
Europe. Gabrielle Vellehomme. con-
sui for France, has also been in cor
respondence with DR.. Reilly in regard
to the shipment of this vile stuff to
his country. He has called on the au-
thorities to act, with the intimation
that if they did not his government
would take steps which might serious
iy affect the legitimate shipment of

ADJUSTMENTS FOR LEPERs.
Those Mt MoIOkai Are Not as I'm

Donahoe's Magazine.
Here in this sea-girt asylum of people
afflicted with the most dreaded of
known diseases. from which there is no
escape but through the portals of
death, is presented one of the noblest
and brightest pictures of the glories
of Christianity, with the marvels of
self-sacrifice amid surroundings the
most depressing. These poor victims,
doomed to the ravages of a disease
that completes its deadly work in an
average of four or five years. the
progress of which is marked with the
most significant and destructive pre-
cision, can alone appreciate at it's true
worth the Christian heroism of those
who are laboring among them, follow

yet unhappiness does not chill the air

naturally a light-hearted people, and
even the shadow of leprosy cannot sup

A MODEL FOR PRESIDENTS.

There are not many things which
we would have this republic borrow
from any monarchy on the face of
the earth, but the form of the queens
address to parliament in Great Brit
ain is one of them. Not only on the
present occasion, when the queens
speech has been criticised for its I'M
usual brevity, but on ali others when
parliament assemblies, the commune
cation from the throne consists of a
few brief statements, making from a
quarter to a half a column of print
ed matter, yet covering all the sub
jects to which it is desired to direct
especially the attention of the ma
tional legislature. There is no rea-
son why a president of the United
States should not be equally succinct
in his communications to congress.
Queen Victoria might have deluged
reamS of paper upon 1hfs occasion
with equal propriety. The position
taken by Great Britain in the war
between Japan and China, the Ar
menian question, with England's par
ticipation in its settle ment the open
ing Of the Kiel canal, are a few of
the events abroad upon which a pri-
waite secretary might have wasted
his eloquence. At home there is a
political revolution, an entire change
of programme, and a reversal of
Irish policy that afford equally a
prolific theme.
We cannot doubt that if any pres
ident of the United States had had
the same subject matter to his hand,
he would not have managed to get
through with it in a message of less
than ten columns in length. The
queens speech from the throne is
always harmless and colorless doc
ument. We recognize the difference
between it and a presidents mes
sage, in that the sovereign of En-
gland has no veto power, and con-
sequently no voice in legislation be-
yond the creation of new peers in
a time of crisis, which is not likely
ever to occur again. The position of
the president, as one of the three
parties whose approval is necessary,
within certain limits, to the enact
ment of any law, is very different.
Making allowance for this, however,
there is no reason why a message
should be more than the brefest
outline Of matter contained in the
several department reports. Usu-
ally the longest part of it is devoted
to foreign affairs. That portion might
be summed UP as briefly as the dec
laration of the English cabinet,
speaking in the queens name. A
president who adopts this model, and
contents himself with terse and Wig
orous declarations to congress, will
win public approval.

RAsCALLY OFFICIALS.
City Clerk and City Water Com
missioner Under Arrest.

missioner Under Arrest.
BEATRICE, Neb., Aug. 16.-Beatrice
is in a state of the widest excitement
today, occasioned by the arrest at 4
o'clock this morning of the city clerk,
]. T. Phillips, and the water commits
sioner, George Hawkins, on a charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses The information under which
the arrest was made was given by
W. H. Norcross, president of the Far
mers and Merchants bank. Some
time yesterday City Clerk Phillips
sold to the Farmers and Merchants
bank city warrants amounting to
nearly SLIGO, discounting the same at
about per cent. Upon examining the
warrants the president of the bank
discovered they were in favor of par
ties who are in the habit of holding
their warrants until paid by the city.
By the use of the telephone he learned
that the party to whom the warrants
were issued held warrants for the eX-
act amounts of those purchased by
the bank. In the meantime Phillips
had taken the certificate of deposit
received in payment for the warrants
and placed it to his account at the
Beatrice National bank, and upon it's
presentation to the Farmers and Mer-
chants payment was refused. 1t is
understood that Hawkins is implicated
in the matter through the fact that a
part of the warrants were drawn upon
the water fund, and Clerk Phillips
claims they were furnished him by the
water commission. The city council
has declared the offices vacant.

than the credit of any one, just as
the credit of a community is more
powerful than that of a single indi-
vidual in it. International bimetal-
lism contemplates placing interna-
tional credit behind the money
metals. How effective this would
be must be admitted problematical.
We cannot, however, determine the
power of all nations by the sue
cess or the failure of any one.
Finally, the Lake Crystal Union
asks the G / o b e to state what
Is Bimetallism?" We have done
this repeatedly within the last few
weeks. True bimetallism is the
actual circulation and use in the
same community at the same time
of two money metals, eXchangeable
one for the other, indifferently, at
par. We have that kind of bimet-
allism in the United States. The use
of silver alone is recommendation,
just as truly as the use of gold
alone; and of a much more hurtful
kind, because it cuts us off from
commercial equality with the other
leading nations of the world. The
Union, too, appears to have the
double standard maggot in it's brain.
1t wants to know if bimetallism
means single gold standard.
Whether the standard is gold or sill
yer or copper or lead or any other
thing, it will not be double or quad
ripple or seXtuple. 1t will be single,
as any other measure Of quality or
quantity has to be. BY a proper
adjustment of ratios and proper
measures for redemption, two metals,
or ten, for that matter, can be kept
in circulation in a country. But
there will not be two standards, or
ten, or any other number than one,
until we cease to reckon quantity by
units. The simple principles which
we have reannounced have such an
important bearing upon the money
question, and are so apt to be mis-
understood, that we have repeated
them here to correct mistakes, which
must be natural since they are so
constantly occurring.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The vigor with which that Wash
lngton conference denounced the
bond issues shows that the members
correctly appreciate what those
bonds did. They defeated the ulti-
mate purpose of the movement for a
silver basis and silver recommendation
Naturally these gentlemen have no
good opinion of the means used to pre-
vent this Until the bond issue of last
February the movement was swift.
Between February, 1894, and the
same month in 1895, inclusive of both
there had been drawn from the
treasury in gold in redemption of
greenbacks and the treasury note
of 1890, over $171 900, 900. In Febru-
airy of this year the treasury was
within few hours of gold deple-
ton.
What would then have occurred?
Inevitably, redemption in silver.
What then? An increased demand.
a panic, for gold. Foreign exchange.
a constant necessity, would have ad
vanced. In other words, there would
have been a premium on gold. The
country would have slumped i'm
mediately to the point these men are.
consciously or not, aiming for. It
would have been on a silver basis.
silver the standard apparently meas
uring values, and all the trade. all
the industries of the country would
have been in the throes of a none
tary revolution in which no man
would know where he stood 1t is
from this that the bond issue of Feb
ruary saved the country, and the
difference between the desires of
these men and actually existing con-
ditions measures the degree of their
wrath at being baked.

appear that Addicks was disturbed
by the report, but it is evident that.
his curiosity was aroused Why
should Washburn, who had ''killed"
his man, want Addicks killed for
having brought down his man?
So Addicks, perfectly calm, wired
the ex-senator from Minnesota to
"kindly"-mark the urbanity-kind-
ly explain why he considered him
such pest as to warrant his ex-
tirpation by violence. This was a
very natural and proper question,
very civilly expressed, as becomes
man accustomed to deal with those
high and mighty potentates who sit
in city councils and dispense gas
franchises. Chesterfield nor Beau
Brummel could have done it hand
Somer." This was, however, an aWk-
ward question for the ex-senator to
answer. The seriousness of advis-
ing that any man, especially a pro-
fessional in stock manipulations and
a candidate for the senate, be killed,
became apparent. The Minneapoli-
tan did not want to deny the remark,
and he did not want to back right
square out Neither did he want to
assert, by telegraph, that he meant
what he said. So he bethought him
self. He cudgeled his memory for
precedents. Thank God for Charles
Dickens" he CALCULATED, as the in
cident of Pickwick's explanation of
what he meant when he called some
one a liar flashed on him. So he
wired Addicks that he meant only
that he should be or ought to be
killed in a political sense" Killed
with ballots, you know, not bullets;
knitted in caucus, and not in cor
pus. So it was only in a true Pick
wickian sense after all that Wash
burn said that Addicks ought to be
killed. This explanation doubtless
closes the incident, but it serves the
purpose of making one forget the
heat and discomfort of the weather
IN the drollery of the affair.

HOSPITAL HORRORS.
More Than One Chicago Patient
Killed by Violence.

CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Fillowing close
on the holding of George Cough and
John P. Anderson to the criminal
court, for the murder of George Puck
at the Dunning asylum, will come a
series of Investigations into the deaths
of other, patients, supposed to have
been foully dealt with at the county
intirmary and the detention hospital.
AS a result Of the exposure of the

cruel methods used in controlling in
sane patients at the detention hospital,
the body of Kitty PeetZ will be eX-
humed and steps taken toward estab-
fishing the cause of her death. When
Kitty PeetZ was taken to the deten-
ton hospital June II she was suffering
from acute mania, but was physically
sound. Thirty-siX hours later she died,
and among the attendants and clerks
at the hospital it was whispered that
one of her ribs had been broken and
she had been terribly beaten. 1t was
only whisper and Kitty Peetz's rel
atives did not know that she had been
i'll treated while in the hospital. They
heard none of the stories until Mrs.
Louise Bittig, an attendant, told what
she knew a few days ago. Yesterday
John A. Peetz reported to Chief Deputy
Coroner Quinn the suspicious which
had been reused in his mind by Mrs.
Bittig's story. Mr.. Quinn, who in the
absence of Coroner" McHale has charge
of the office, promptly ordered prepar-
ations for an inquest, and set Tuesday
next for the eXhuming of the body.
