A Weighty Petition.

The county attorneys of Kennebec,
Cumberland, York, Androscoggin, OK
ford, Franklin, Penobscot, Aroostook,
Piscataquis, Washington, Hancock, Waldo
and Somerset counties petition for the
appointment of stenographers to take
testimony in grand jury cases. They
represent that the knowledge that their
testimony was to be preserved would
make some witnesses stick closer to the
truth and the preservation of the testi
mony would save expenses in cases where
indictments not being secured in the
first proceeding, it is now necessary to
summon the witnesses to testify again be
fore the same grand jury. The bill ac-
companying the petition provides that a
Justice of the supreme court may appoint
a stenographer upon the petition Of the
county attorney.

Tpr KENTUCKY CAMPAIGN.

The republican and democratic forces
Of Kentucky are in battle array aud
from now until the day Of election there
promises to he the most vigorous aud
interesting political campaign that state
has ever known. \ series of joint de-
bates between the republican and dem
ocratic candidates for governor, Colonel
Bradley ana General Hardin, was be-
gun last Monday. Both are good
speakers and very popular with their
followers, so that their debates are GER
tain to arOus n great deal of enthu-
siasm. The democratic candidate has
the disadvantage of being a free silver
man on a sound money platform 'and
he adheres to his views, while the re-
publican candidate and platform are in
complete accord, and this situation AN
not fail to operate in favor of the lat
ter. The campaign will be fought on
national issues, us was shown in the
opening debate, and this gives an adj
vantage to the republican candidate
which he has the ability and sagacity to
make the most of. In his opening adj
urtSS ne Otpu IL SGCill uCul VI utttH-
ton to the democratic tariff and made
some very good points, while his talk
against free silver was pointed and
forccful. 1t is perhaps too much to eX-
pcct that Kentucky will elect a repub-
lican governor this year, but there is
said to be Il very confident feeling in
the party and it certainly seems that
it has a fair chance to win. Last year
the republicans gained four representa-
lives in congress and there Is good rea-
son to believe that the strength of the
party has increased since, while it is
reasonably expected that Hardin will
lose the votes Of a great many sound
money democratic business men.

FRANCE MUST ANSWER.

The country will heartily welcome the
information that our government has
decided to make n peremptory demand
upon France in the case of Waller. 1t
is stated that the intention is to ask his
release and also to require satisfactory
indemnity for his Imprisonment and
there appears TO be no good reason why
seems the only course our government
can now take with Il due regard for its
dignity. The French government has
paid no attention to the repeated re-
quests for information regarding the
trial of Waller and to make any further
efforts in this direction would be at the
sacrifice of national self-respect. What
our government asked was entirely
legitimate and proper and should have
been received in n friendly spirit and
promptly responded to. 1t was not so
treated and our government is now
fully justified in taking a decisive
course to secure Justice for his i'm
prisoned American citizen. Our govern
ment can properly make a demand for
his release pending the arrival of in
formation said to be promised from
Madagascar. under conditions that will
not remove Waller from the jurisdiction
of the French government until it shall
be determined from the official infor-
nation whether or not he was fairly
tried and convicted.
There is plenty of authority for the
course which it is said Secretary Olney
has decided to take. A number of his
distinguished predecessors at the head
Of the State department left on record
opinions regarding the duty of the gov
eminent toward American citizens in
foreign lands by which he may safely
be guided. There is but one sentiment
among the people of the United States
in reference to this matter, and that is
that our government must firmly insist
upon the recognition by France of our
proper demands, and if that country
will not do so her we should decline
to maintain diplomatic relations with
it. We did this in the infancy of the
government and can certainly venture
to do it now if there be adequate justi-
fiCation.

ENGLAND IND THE CAN1L.

The utterances of the st. James Ga
zctte regarding the relations of Great
Britain to the Nicaragua canal will com
mand attention in this country as wei
as in England, for while that journal
may not speak as an organ of the pres
ent government. it is not to be doubted
that it reflects, so far as this matter is
concerned, the predominant British sen
timent. The feeling indicated in the Ca
zette's article is that of apprehension
that Great Britain, by neglccting to in
sist upon the recognition of her treaty
rights, will enable the United States to
acquire Il control and authority in Cen
trail America that would be inimical to
British interests there. The strained
ultimate object of the proposition that
this government shall guarantee the
whole capital for the construction of the
canal sis not so much the cutting of the
canal rs he firm and final establish
ment of the United States authority in
Central America" In other words, the
projected enterprise, in the opinion of
the Gazette, is simply an expedient for
enabling this country to obtain control
in that portion of the hemisphere. and
this the London paper evidently re-
CARDS with n keen feeling of anxiety.
That such n feeling exists in official
quarters in England is by no means i'm
probable.
The Gazette desires that the British
government enforce the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, urging that the guarantee by this
government of the capital of the canal
company would be an infraction of that
treaty. This point has not escaped con-
sideration in congress and the advo-
Gates of Il government guarantee have
been practically unanimous in the opin-
ion that it would not contravene the
treaty. In n speech delivered in the SEN
ate last December by Senator Dolph he
said; 1.-The ClaytOn-Bulwer treaty has
been a bugbear in the minds OF some
people in the way of congressional aid
to or control of the Nicaraguan canal by
the United States. Nearly IA half cen
fury has elapsed since that treaty was
made. The then conditions have greatly
changed. The changes in conditions in
this country have deyolved new respon-
sibilities upon the government. The par
ticular and principal object of the treaty
was the then projected interoceanic ca
nal by the Nicaraguan route. This
scheme, the then projected canal, failed,
and the treaty so far as it related to
that particular scheme was terminated"
This view was held by Senator Morgan
Omaha daily bee., 1895-08-23

and other advocates of government con
troll of the canal, who also held that
by the action of Great Britain since the
negotiation of the treaty the United
States had acquired the right to abro-
gate that convention. OF course the
British government opposes these CON
tcntions, claiming that every part of the
treaty is in full operation, and putting n
construction upon it which is hostile to
any plan for the control of the Nicara-
qua canal by the United States.
1t is easy to see that there Is in this
the possibility of al exceedingly inter
csting International controversy. 1t is
by no means improbable that the Fifty
fourth congress will be friendly to the
proposition of n government guarantee
of the capital to construct the canal,
carrying with it the control of that enter
prise by the government, and if such
should be the case the British govern
ment undoubtedly will demand guaran-
tees for the rights it claims under the
Clayton Bulwer treaty. 1t is obvious,
therefore. that the Nicaragua canal may
become, indeed is very sure to become,
a bone of ardent contention between
Great Britain and the United States.

THE NATIONAL FARMER.

Washington Star: Secretary Morton's en-
tomological department might render some
appreciative service by doing something to
check the ravages Of the presidential bee.
Washington Post. Let us hope that Secre-
t0ry Morton will not attempt TO carry this
thing to such an extent as to ofer to pay on
the colored employees in watermelon seeds.
Philadelphia Record: Secretary Morton,
with some sense Of humor, caused The wages
OF the free silver employees In the Agricul-
tural department to be handed 10 them In
Bland dollars on pay day. This was. how.
ever, but n small hardship compared with
that which the free coiners would infict
upon the country. II they could have their
way the silver dollars would only buy 50
cents worth Of meat. bread or raiment.
Philadelphia Press. Mr.. Morton, the gar
rulous secretary Of agriculture, has per-
formed a great feat in the way OF demon
strating the soundness OF his views on the
money question. He had the paymaster OF
the department pay all subordinates who do
not agree with Mr.. Morton's views on the
silver question in silver coin. over SIC, 200
in coin was used for that purpose the other
day. IL Mr.. Morton were paid his $4,000
salary in gold coin. does any one suppose
that he would accept the heavy load with
good grace? Fortunately the cause of sound
money does not depend on such quack
methods to sustain it.

FLEXIBLE POLICE REFORM RULES

And now we are scmi-officially mott
fed that the civil service rules which the
BroatCh board has promulgated with
such a great flourish of trumpets are
not to apply to the members who al
ready have places on the force and to
members who have been discharged
from the force. This is reform as is
reform.
One OF the rules adopted by the
Broatch board reads as follows: "No
one will be examined who has made n
false statement intended to deceive or
who has been guilty of'crime or notori-
ously disgraceful conduct" BY sns-
pending this rule for the benefit of men
who have been dismissed from the old
force the doors are thrown wide open
TO the very men who were denounced
by the grand jury for criminal practices
and ~disgraceful conduct. 1t throws
the doors wide open to the very men
who have scandalized the force and vio-
lated their obligations as officers by
false reports to the chief and to the
mayor concerning the condition of the
social evil in Omaha. 1t throws the
doors wide open to the detectives who
couldn't detect Il thief with a label upon
| him if he had something with which to
stand them off.
Another rather unique feature of this
snivcl-servicc reform is the rule that
no applicant shall be asked what his
religion or his politics is. Who aver
heard of such questions in any fireman's
or policeman's application blank? And
what object has the Broatch board in
announcing what questions will not be
asked? Why not also announce that
the applicant will not be asked to state
what newspaper he subScribes for or
where he buys his clothing and his
groceries? ON the very face of it the
announcement that no questions will be
asked about religion or politics bears
the stamp of Pharisecism No such
questions ever have been asked by any
board, and could not be without vio-
lating the law under which the commits
sion was originally created.
Right here it may as well be stated
that the rules governing applications
for appointment to the police and fire
departments, now in force, cover all
the necessary requirements. Every APP
plicant is required to fill out the blank
and answer all questions in his own
handwriting. He is required to give his
nativity, age, length of residence, and
general reasons for seeking appoint
ment. 1t naturally follows that mis-
representation on these points would
subject him to dismissal. And any
officer who, after being sworn in, makes
false reports concerning any official in
quiry should not only be dismissed in
disgrace, but be forever ineligible for
reappointment.

TILE MIORk.


Superintendent Hunt of the water
works company assures The Bee that he
is very anxious to proceed with the IN
largement of the water mains and other
necessary improvements which have
been recommended by the fire chief and
the city engineer. Mr.. Hunt says the
only obstruction in his way is the mayor
and council, who have withheld the APP
preparations for hydrant rental out of
which the expenses for the improve
mentS are to be betrayed.
If Mr.. Hunt is really in dead earnest
there should be no difficulty about get
ting the appropriation through the coun-
ell, and, if necessary, over the mayors
veto. In view of the fact that a number
of councilmen have secured leaves of
absence for the Cincinnati junkct next
week, The Bee would suggest that Mr..
Hunt exert himself to induce five cOun-
cilmen to sign n call for Il special meet
ing to pass the appropriation ordinance,
With the proper guarantees that the
| water works company means business,
we venture to predict that Mayor Bemis
will not interpose a veto. There is no
good reason why the work should not
be under way by September |.

Rcccding Waves of immigration.

The new immigration statistics justify the
belief that a climax has been reached. and
that a decline in the number of aliens coming
here is in progress. The reason for this is
that many immigrants are going to Australia.
South America and to the colonial posses
sions of the various European countries in
Africa and Asia. We are also getting a bet
ter class of foreigners generally, the criminal
and pauper classes seeking countries where
the inspection Of immigrants is less rigid
that it has become in this country. Steamship
lines are more chary of bringing those whom
the officers know they will have to take back
free of cost. This is, qui e as powerful a check
as our own rigid inspection.

The report of further outrages by the
Chinese, coming on the heels of the
assurance from Minister DENLY that all
danger had passed, shows how little
confidence can be placed in the prom
ises of Chinese officials. The truth Is
that hate of the foreigner pervades all
classes in China and Christian govern
ments must take some other measures
than those hitherto adopted in order to
protect their subjects in that country.
