New York Sun: Rhode Island is a typical

republican victories in Rhode Island, but
not since 1862 has there been such a one as
was rolled up on Wednesday. The plurality

POLITICAL REMARKS

Chicago Tribune: Hon. William E.. Russell
of Massachusetts is sometimes spoken of as
a dark horse, but it seems more appropriate
to regard him as a horse of a Back Bay color.
Chicago Times-Herald: Senator German is
not making much noise, but he never neg
lects to take advantage of an opportunity to
wing the pet measures of the administration
when they appear in the senate.
Washington Post: They are trying to
make the point on Allison that there are no
colored men on the Iowa delegation. Hpw
many colored men are there on the Ohio and
New York delegations, and how many colored
men will Maine send to st. Louis?
Globe Democrat: Secretary Carlisle is a
man of recognized ability and integrity, but
his association with deficits and bond sales
has taken away his availability as a candi-
date for president, and his friends might as
well quit talking about him IN that relation.
Minneapolis Tribune: 1t Is a pity that ex~
Speaker Crisp lost his voice 80 as to make
it impossible to continue the joint debate
with Secretary Hoke Smith on the silver
question; but. as he had already lost his case,
the calamity is perhaps a blessing in dis
guise for him. Smith was getting the best
of him IN the argument right along.

COMMIT No NUISANCE,

1t seems that there never can be n
public building erected in Omaha or any
public improvement made in Omaha
without corrupt deals or costly bungles.
That was true with regard to the city
hall, the public library building and
many of our public school buildings.
The proposed city Jail and police head
quarters building to be erected for the
city threatens to be a repetition of
municipal jobbery and expensive bung-
ling.
Having wasted $1,000 on the mutila-
ton of the city hall basement, the conn-
ell is about to disgrace Omaha by plant
ing a city jail next to the public library.
Instead Of protecting public buildings
and improving their surroundings, the
council appears to be ben on promoting
the construction of firetraps in their
vicinity and establishing what must
be considered a public nuisance ada
cent to them. In every other city
public library and museum buildings
are guarded, like public schools, from
everything that might tend TO drive
away visitors or interfere with the com
fort and quiet of those at work In them.
If this jail scheme is carried ont. the
approaches to the library will not only
be blocked by ~vagabonds n drunken
~joafers, but will be constantly trayersed
by patrol wagons and fire engines.
The proposed Jail location right
against the library building cannot fail
also to damage other adjacent semi
public institutions like the Creche, the
German-American school aud the Dan
ish societies building. 1t is also a very
serious question whether the fire de-
partment should be under the same roof
with the police court and jail.
There is really no occasion for bring
ing up this matter at the present time
and there would not be but for the
apparent anxiety for some real estate
brokers to earn n commission The city
has managed to survive with the pres
ent Jail quarters for years and when
there We're more yags and disorderly
people to accommodate than now. 1t
can stand IL very comfortably for a
year or two longer until the county and
city will be in position TO join in the
construction Of Il commodious county
and city prison and criminal court

Couficr-Journal Tho Ohio legislature has
passed a bill to prevent the wearing OF hats
by ladies In the theater. Now let II pass a
law 10 enforce the wearing OF brains by gen.
tlemen in the Legislature.
Chicago Record: At last the arm Of tho
law has been raised against the high theater
hat. Both houses OF the Ohio legislature
have passed a bill which DEGREES that the
manager or owner Of any theater In which
tho wearing of big hats is permitted shall
be fined from 81 to SO.
Minneapolis Journal: The anti-big-hat law
is in force In Ohio. but the worst results
therefrom will not be known until the menu
bers return to their respective homes. Their
shrewdness. however, in deferring the pas
sage of the act until near the close OF the
theater season may avert some Of the most
direful consequences for the present.
Washington Star: Ohio has gone so far
as TO make the wearing Of a big thoater hat
punishable by a fine. 1t is highly imprOb-
able that anybody would be so unRailant as
to have such a law enforced, but II may have
an Indirectly wholesome influence by inn
pressing the fact that mammot headgoar
at 4 place Of amusement Is not ladylike.
Chicago Tribune: The women Of Ohio
with high hat proclivities are taking the
legislative ccnsure too much to heart. They
threaten to get a bill introduced making 1t a
for men to go out between
the acte. This is a serious menace to an
tlI dhu picturesque INSlVni' " SlSN
tacle could be more interesting than to see
a row of people rise and back up while a
man squeeZes past. crushing dresses and
hats and good tempers. If there be any
thing finer it is When the same people rise
a second time to permit the man to crush
them some more in order to regain his seat.
With this going on in all parts of n theater,
and repeated whenever the curtain falls, the
monotony of the waits is greatly relieved
and food for running conversation and n
liberal education in explosives Is furnished.
1t cannot be possible the women Of Ohio
can contemplate so cruel a revenge as to
attack this pleasing privilege.
Philadelphia Inquirer: There has been a
lot Of foolishness about the big theater hat,
but Mr.. McKinley's state of Ohio is the first
of the forty-five states In the union to take
definite action concerning 1t. The bill which
passed the house, and which proposes to
the size of the theater hat, has gone
through the senate with only two opposing
votes. 1t Is a law, for the governor of Ohio
has no authority whatever over legislation.
He cannot veto a bill. The legislature is
absolutely supreme when it comes to law
making, therefore,. on the statute books OF
Ohio is a law which imposes n fine Of from
50 to SO upon the manager of any theater,
hall or other place OF entertainment
where an admission fee is charged, Tor per-
a woman to wear a hat obstructing
the view of persons sitting behind her.
Every hat permitted to be worn In violation
Of the law will constitute a separate ~cffense,
and therefore will require a separate fine.

TITEEISH


The latest news from C~onstantinople
indicates, accepting it as well founded,
that the Turkish authorities have not
been dealing in q straightforward way
with the American charge d'affairs. 1t
was reported some days ago that Mr..
Riddles protest against the pro-
posed expulsion of American mis-
sionaries, accompanied with n threat
to sever diplomatic relations, had pro-
duced the desired effect, and this was
assumed to be convincing evidence of
the desire of the Turkish government
to maintain friendly relations with the
United States. 1t now appears that
American missionary is in prison
and it is the understood intention of
the government to eXpel from the our
try American and other missionaries,
together with the agents of the Red
lief to the Armenians. If this shall be
verified it will furnish another illustra-
ton of Turkish trickery and duDlicity,
qualities in which the present sultan
and his advisers seem to be pre-
eminent. 1t is quite possible that the
Turkish government has been greatly
offended by the action of congress in
passing the Armenian resolutions and
by the vigorous denunciation of its
policy in the press of this country. 1t
has given some manifestation of this
feeling and may have determined to
make it stronger. In that event what
should or could our government do
about it? There is talk of making a
naval demonstration in the Mediter-
ranean but we might simply make our
selves ridiculous by doing that, even
if we did not become involved in a
serious complication. 1t would seem
that the wisest thing our government
could do would be to advise the Amer
lean missionaries to get out of the Turk
ish empire and not wait to be expelled.
That would be a solution of the DIFF
fculty which, under the circumstances,
seems to commend itself to common
sense.

A THBIVING INDUSTRY.

The manufacture of tin plate In the
United States is making steady pro-
gress. According to the latest informa-
ton regarding this industry there are
seventy-three firms engaged or ready to
engage in it. having a capacity of
5000 900 boxes n year.. 1t thus appears
that American tin-plate manufacturers
are now in a position to fill the whole of
the consumptiye demand for tin plates
in the United States. apart from the
proportion used by the packers and by
the oil trade, which, having the adj
vantage of n rebate of duty, Is still held
by the Welsh trade. Undoubtedly 1t is
only a question of time when our man
ufacturers will supply the demand for
the tin that is now imported, thereby at
least doubling the industry. When 1t is
remembered hat the first impulse given
to the manufacture of tin In this coun-
try was by the tariff act of 1890, the
progress made in the little more than
five years since is remarkable and fully
vindicates the republican policy. I'm
questionably the growth of the industry
would have been still more marked if
there had been no democratic threat TO
abolish the duty on tin plate. The sue
cess of the democracy in 1892 brought
to "A halt numerous projected tin plate
plants and while n portion or all of
these have since been established. a
part of the duty having been retained,

PROPOSED ASSESSMENT REFORM.


The revised revenue code of Iowa will
have some novel features, designed to
overcome inequalities in the assessment
and taxation of property. The bill. as
agreed upon by the joint legislative com
mittec, proposes that all property sub
ject to taxation shall be appraised and
listed by the assessor at its actual cash
value. but the tax levy shall he uni
formly on 80 per cent of the ap-
praisement. Under the present system
the owners of personal property and
especially the owners of bonds. mort
cages, securities, stocks and money
make little or no returns to the asses
sor on the plea that they would be
taxed on the full value. while
real estate is taxed only at
one-third or o%ne-fourth of its
actual value. With q uniform rednc-
ton of 80 per cent from the listed
value, this excuse would no longer serve.
Neither would the boards of euualiza-
ton be justified il making reductions
for the benefit of the bond alil mort
gage owning classes, as they now do.
Under the new revised Iowa law i!rase
boards would have full power to raise
The asseSsnien of any single piece Of
property that is u~ndervaluCd. whereas
now they are only allowed - euualiza
the tax, without altering the aggregate.
In this respect the new Iowa law will
be a marked improvement on pres
ent modes Of taxation. If ii works as
well as is expected. it will set an eX-
ample which Nebraska lawmakers will
sooner or later lave to follow.
The ideas embodied in the revenue
code revision are by no means original
with Iowa. They were advocated by
this paper ten years ago and included
among the recommendations made by
Governor Thayer in his message
to the legislature of 1897. In that Ines
sage Governor Thayer said:
Permit me to suggest a change in
the basis of assessment. Let all tax
able property, real and personal, be
appraised and assessed at its
full, fair, actual value. Then
let the levy be made on one-third
or one-fourth of it's appraised value. If
there is reason to believe that the owner
IS concealing any property to evade
taxation. make it obligatory OH the as
SCISSOR to put him under oath. with the
pain and penalties of perjury attached.
If the assessors fail to require the cath
let the assessor be punished with i'm
prisonment. By This plan the property
of all will be treated alike. which is
