DEMAND FOR REFORM
PEOPLE OF OMAHA WANT BET
TER MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.
Address Signed by 1000 Citizens That
Calls for n Vigorous NOnpartfsan
Movement Against Rings.

OMAHA, Neb.. June 2S-The demand
for municipal reform in Omaha became so
pronounced to-day that the business men
and citizens, regardless of party feelings,
united in the publication of proclamation
calling for the organization of move
ment looking to the introduction of busi-
ness methods in the city government The
embers of public indignation have been
famed for several months by the alleged
corruption now existing in local munich
pal affairs. Months ago it was noticed that
city money was being used by spectators,
contractors and others with political infiu-
ence. The matter became so fragrant two
weeks ago that the School Board de-
manded an investigation Of its funds. The
next day City Treasurer Bolln fled from
the city, leaving note that he going
to commit suicide. Officials located him in
hiding. Developments showed that many
members Of the City Council and other
politicians owed the city from $l00 to $1,000
each. The only security the treasurer had
was slip IN the cash drawer indicat-
Ing the amount due the city on the /. o. II.
The cash missing to the amount of
$4,000 Since then this has been reduced
two-thirds by the i. o. US being taken
up.
The Council, in the face of the situation,
refused to depose Bolln, though many cit-
zens were demanding his arrest. A week
after his defalcations were made public
Bolln resigned. The Mayor frequently sent
names of citizens to the Council to sue
ceed Bolln, but that body refused to con-
firm the nominations. In the meantime,
Bolln was left in office. After turning
down many of the most reliable citizens of
Omaha, the Council. at 10 o'clock tonight,
after a weeks delay, confirmed j. II. Du-
mont as city treasurer. These develop
ments contributed so powerfully TO the
general demand for reform that a procla-
nation signed by 1000 of the most promi-
nent citizens of Omaha, representing all
political parties, was published to-day call
ing on citizens generally to join with them
in a vigorous non-partisan citizens move
ment for municipal reform. The a. p. A.,

WOULD BE FOLLY.
Andrew ID. whites View of One of
the Demands of SiIverites.

SYRACUSE, ". ". June 2S.--Andrew ID.
White ex-minis.er 10 Russia, has re-
turned TO his old home here. In an inter-
view he said he knew nothing about pol
itics on this side now. Since leaving Rus
sia he has travelled through Germany and
as far south as Sicily, and he had, there
fore, missed many of the American papers.
In regard to the silver question Mr.. White
said: My opinion to the silver ques-
ton is that while il would be a good thing
if we could get the nations OF the world 10
make an agreement which would result
in larger use of silver. and while many
of the leading men in foreign nations.
among them Mr.. Balfour, who has just been
made the head of the Ministry in the Brit
ish House of Commons, are entirely In
sympathy with us in this respect, and un-
less We have some international arrange
ment of that kind II would be folly FOR us
TO undertake unlimited coinage OF silver.
In fact at this moment our country Is
really the richest in the world. IL has in
ii every element of prosperity. The Rus
slams who came back from the Chicago ex-
position, many of whom i saw, were fuil
of wonder at the enterprise and progress
of the country. They never tire of talking
about il. Nothing has ever been seen like
the progress of this Nation since the world
began, and yet here we are waiting, dali
lying and hanging on, with capital afraid
TO come out and labor insufficiently en-
ployed, simply because of this uncertainty
about the circulating medium. If that were
lieve that all the other questions In the
way of prosperity would be adjusted speed
lily and we should enter on new career
such as we ourselves hardly dream Of.

question by President Charles S. Fairchild,
John Dewitt Warner and James p Archi-
bald The following resolutions were
adopted:
''First-That we condemn the legisla-
tion which for generation has forced
upon us an unsound currency, from the
fat legal-tender greenback TO the depre-
ciated silver, by which of late our in
dustries have been paralyzed.
'Second-That we denounce as undemo-
cratic governmental interference with the
adopted. We brand as dishonest the sure
ly futile attempt to give forced circulation
to anything or dictate the rate at which
one metal shall be valued as compared
with another.
''Third-That we can tolerate no COM
promise with any proposal to debase the
currency commerce in which wages are
invested in the belief that equally good
money would be paid when the investments
should become due.
''FouTth-That we demand of Congress
such modification or repeal of our present
laws as shall permit our people to provide
themselves with safe and elastic bank-note
currency, thus paving the way for both
greenback retirement and the relief of
the United States treasury from all re-
sponsibilities not involved in its legitimate
