PRISON REFORM
The World Is Wicked, But 1t Is Growing
Better

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept. 29.-Homi
eide was discussed at the morning ses-
sion of the National Prison association.
1t was concluded that the census taken
on the subject and that the magazine
editorial on it partake largely Of the
nature Of sensational journalism; that
the world is growing better and that
homicide is on the dc crease.
T. II. Wines offered resolutions, which
were adopted, calling for the appoint
ment of a committee with which Hon.
A. D. White is called upon to act, to
report at the next annual session upon
the question whether homicide in the
United States is increasing more rap
idly than the increase in population.
H. H. Hart of st. Paul, secretary of the
board of state charities, then read the
principal paper of the forenoon, upon
Imagination and crime.
The report of the committee on dls-
charged prisoners for the national prison
congress followed. 1t was read by Rev.
c. I. Bradshaw of Hoboken. The last
address on the program was by Rev.
Edward j. Moriarity, of Concord juno
ton, Mass, on The Value of Religious
Motives as Reform agency.
This evening the congress was ad-
dressed 10y Dr. Samuel G. Smith of Min
neapolis, on Crime and Its Relation to
Economics.

Crowds Gather to Greet the Travelling
Union Generals.

UNION GtneTdlS.
OMAHA. Neb.. Sept. GA special to the
Bee from Lincoln, Neb.. says: The flight
OF the union generals across the state of

at all stations. Brief speeches We're made
at Hastings and other towns. The party

assembled at the depot but only mo-
Eent's stop was made, and then the train
sped on to Hastings.
The train made a stop at Sutter for water
and the sight which greeted the visitors
as the train drew up was one certainly cal
culated to I;;le their vanity. The whole
city and the broad countryside, too, were
assembled at the depot. Men, women and
children fairly swarmed upon the private
cars and for a moment or so threatened
to literally overwheim them. The appear
ance of Sickles, Tanner, Howard and AL
ger was the signal for a grand outburst
of cheers for Mckinley. Both General
Sickles and Corporal Tanner said a few
words.
When the special arrived at Hastings
fully e0o0 visitors were present. 1t was a
magnificent reception. Each of the gener-
ais spoke briefly. The returning train ar
rived at Lincoln at 6:20 pm. An enthus-
iastic reception was accorded the veterans.
The affair was under the auspices of the
G. A. r. Mckinley clubs from all over Ne
braska were present. Possibly 10000 peo-
Pile heard the speaking and the streets
were lined with cheering multitudes.

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.

President Cleveland once vetoed a river and harbor bill and on another occasion withheld his signature, allowing the bill to become law without his aid. There is now report that he intends to veto any river and harbor bill. A dispatch says:
 "The report is said to have emanated from Senator Villas, who stands very close to the president. It is well known here that the president has always been hostile to the expenditure of government moneys in works of this character, and the low condition of the public treasury may in part be the animus of his deter imitation to cut off all appropriations for the improvement of rivers and harbors at this session. It would be possible for the republicans to pass the bill over his veto by two-thirds majority, but it is doubtful if MT. Reed. in view of his at titude as presidential possibility. would be willing to go to this extreme. It is believed by some that the report has been given out in this semi-official way for the purpose of keeping down the expenses for river and harbor work to the lowest notch, and is more particularly intended as a warning to the members of the conn mittee that no extravagant appropria- tions will be tolerated or countenAnced by the chief executive" fg
 The objection to the passage of such an appropriation bill based upon the com dition of the treasury is unfounded. The treasury is full of money from the pro ceeds of the sale of bonds Pretty soon we will have $100, 900 900 more to the cred 1t of the treasury. This money should not be kept locked up, but should he speedily let out in the best way to help tho country

A GOOD SELECTION.

At a meeting of the directory of the Commercial club yesterday afternoon MT. w. J. Boles was elected secretary of the club, vice N. F. Thompson, resigned. In the selection of MT. Boles the directory has made an excellent choice.
 For some nine years MT. Boles has been regularly in the employ of the Age Her aid company and during that time he has succeeded in making for himself, as was shown by his successful candidacy for the place he got, host of friends. He is an elegant young gentleman and carries with him in his new position the very best wishes of the entire corps of the State Herald from garret to cellar In order that he might devote his entire time and energies to his new position, MT. Boles has rendered his resignation as reporter on the State Herald. The State Herald confidently expects to see this deserving young man go still higher in the business world and wishes him every success.

SENATOR sHERMAN's LETTERS.

Senator Tillman made quite a telling point when he quoted from letters of Senator Sherman written during the war, showing the immediate results that fol- lowed the enlargement of the currency. The quotations are from biography published by a member of the Sherman family They are as follows:
 Senate Chamber, May 10, 1862, Page 15O-"EVen under terrible financial pres sure and drain of active war, the coun- try is fourshing. Much of this may, be induced by imitation of paper money, but gold is abundant foreign importations active, and foreigners are making invest ments here heavily. In my experience of public affairs 1 have never known times more easy" .-.e,.r -.
 May ', 1863, Page 2O4.-"Nearly every man is paying off his debt. The imitation of currency and rise of property make this easy. Unluckily for me, most of my money is or was in bills receivable. These are paid or will be, and so I find myself with plenty of money, but can't buy anything at reasonable prices. This is the general rule of creditors and per haps it is better so for the community as the creditor class can more easily bear the loss of infiation." ~.
 Nov. A. 1863, Page 215.-"The wonderful prosperity of all classes especially of la borers, has tendency to secure ac- quiescence in all measures demanded to carry on the war. And this is not shown simply by inflated prices, but by in creased production new manufacturing establishments, new railroads, houses, etc Indeed every branch of business Is active and hopeful This is not a mere temporary imitation caused by paper money, but Is steady progress and al- most entirely upon active capital. The people are prospering. Taxes are paid cheerfully."
 Jan 2O 1864, Page 223.-"The general prosperity of the country is so marked that I am afraid of reaction. or col lapse. The currency is awfully inflated and our ability to borrow and pay inter- est has limit Still we have sure foun- dation of public credit, a great country and a large and active population
 Nov. 10, 1865, Page 259.-"The truth is the close of the war with our resources unimpaired gives an elevation. a scope to ideas of leading capitalists far higher than ever undertaken in this country be- fore. They talk of millions as confidently as formerly of thousands. No doubt the contraction that must soon come will eX- plode merely visionary schemes, but many vast undertakings will be executed. Among them will be the Pacific railway"

IoII First Ayeuue.

Monroe doctrine. denounced the South American republics, found fault with this republic and defied England with huency and a fervor that will prove very unfortunate for himself in the future It does not pay to be unpatriotic even in New York city, and the discovery will be quickly made.-Brooklyn Eagle, Rep.
 Look out for a silence on the silver question among all the candidates for the republican nomination for the presi- dency so profound that the present quiet ness in that quarter will rattle and bang like a southern Cristmas eve in compari- son. There is to be fusion of repubH- cans, populists and outsiders generally in both Louisiana and Alabama in the interests of the republican ticket, to say nothing of the trade which is already on in North Carolina.-Springfiel Re- publican, Mug.
 Senator Frye says that if he. had his way he would say to Russia: Take Armenia into your possession and pro- feet those Christians. and the United States will stand behind you with all it's power and resources" But he would not. He would simply talk and do noth- ing, as he is doing now. Men of action do what is before them. Men of imag- ination pass their time thinking what they would do under other circumstances. No one will believe that United States senators would ever do anything under any circumstances.-India Senti- ne1
