eign countries for purposes of robbery
and II suggests that good step In all
vance would be to substitute specific
for ad valorem duties where that is
feasible, and then increase the penalty
for violations of the law. Fines and
forfcitures are necessary. but something
more than loss of money seems to he
necessary to deter dishonest men from
the commission of such frauds.
This state of things supplies a most
conclusive argument against the sys-
TEN of ad valorcm duties, though it
was not needed TO demonstrate the
faultincss of that system. but undoubt-
cdly if the democratic party were given
another opportunity at tariff revision
1t would adhere to the system. The
experience of European countries, if not
of our own. should have been sufficient
to establish the fact that the true policy
is to make duties specific. 1t is prob
ably not feasible for the present con
grcss to make a general change, but
II return to specific duties should be
effected as soon as it can be done.

Seward Reporter: Congressman Mercer Ia
entitled to much credit for securing the
transfer OF Fort Omaha to the state OF Me-
braska, Tor school of instruction for the
national guard. The property is worth a
quarter OF a million dollars and the prospect
OF its accession to the state is a matter for

PlattsmOuth News: Congressman Mercer
seems to be far more successful than Bryan
was in getting what he goes after. The house
yesterday agreed to donate the valuable site
of Fort Omaha to the state of Nebraska for
military school and place Of rendezvous for
the state militia. This was Mercers bill in
troduced in December and now ready for
the senate to act upon, which will result in
its becoming state property very soon.
Wayne Herald: II is to be hoped that
Congressman Mercer's bill providing for the
transfer Of Fort Omaha to the state of Ne
braslta, and which has passed the house will
become a law. Mr.. Mercer Is to be con-
graduated in having successfully Carried his
measure through the house, as the bill was
opposed by many leading republican con-
gressmen. The bill provides for the donation
to the state Of Sl.00O,000 worth OF property
for the establishing of a military school of
instruction for the national guard, at no cost
except that Of the maintenance of the build
ings. Nebraska will be proud to hear that
the bill has passed the senate and been ap-
proved by the president,

A CAUSbLESS COMPLAINT.

The absence of the editors of the
of the Nebraska State Editorial asso-
citation is ascribed by Lincoln paper
to an arrogant sense of superiority and
Il lack of sympathy with the objects
and aims of the organization. In that
res.Act a contrast is sought to be drawn
between the press of Omaha and Lin
coin. AS a matter of fact the omaha
dailics We're capably represented by
their staff correspondents at the state
capital and gave wide publicity to the
proceedings of the association in full
and accurate reports 1t was not ego
tism that caused the absence of the cdi-
tors of Omaha dailies, but the eternal
grind that keeps them at the daily mill.
Incidentally it must be admitted that
the principal dailies of the country can
not, in the nature of things, have the
same interest in state and district cdi-
torial associations that the country pa
pers have, which almost exclusively
make up the rank and file of their mem
berships. As matter of necessity, the
standard dailies are compelled to join
with other leading dailies in associa-
tions for the collection of telegraphic
news and for the protection and promo
tion of business interests which they
have in common. but with which the
weeklies and smaller dailies have little
or no concern. On this score the rela
tions of the Omaha dailes to the Ne
braska State Editorial association differ
in no way from the relations of the Chi
cago, st. Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Detroit, st. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwau
kee or San Francisco dailies to the as
sociations of their respective states.

GERiftNr IND sfLrER.

There will be nv surprise at the
statement made by the German chan
ccllor in the Rcichsiag that the govern
/ mcnt deems 1t undesirable to take the
/ lead In calling an International mono
/ tary conference to consider the silver
( problem. 1t has been all along ap-
parent that the German government
had no intention of inviting a confer
encc of the nations on this subject.
Notwithstanding the fact that all the
federal governments of the Empire had
requested that this be done. and the
linichstag had voted in favor of it.
Whether IL would have taken the intia-
tive in this matter IL the present British
ministry, as was hoped would be the
case had shown more favorable CON
sideration to international bimctalliSm
is questionable. but as soon as it was
found that no encouragement from this
source would be given the bimctallic
movement its abandonment by the Ger
man government became assured
The German chancellor admits that
the fall in the price of silver has been
damaging TO German silver mining. and
to the export trade to silver countries
and he says that a rise in the price is
desirable from economic and mint
standpoints, but he can see no present
prospect of an understanding with the
countries Interested in International
commerce. He points out that con
dition precedent TO the unlimited free
coinage of silver is the opening of the
mnts of India, and this is not eXpcctd
within measurable time. In the event
of another state making definite and
acceptable proposals promising success
the German government would con
slider the question of representation at
q conference. but the chancellor doubt
less fully understands that there is
hardly Il possibility of such proposals
being made by another state. 1t is
not to be expected from France, for
although the sentiment in that country
is not uniavorable to II conferences,
there has been shown no very strong |
desire that one shall be called, the OK
isting conditions being, it seems, quite |
In short, no European |
state appears TO want n chnnge so much |
as to induce it to urge Il conference or |
to take the lead in calling one. The
United States will not at this time in
vite conference, because President
Cleveland has as little faith in any
practical results from it as Prince
lIohenlohe has.
1t may be regarded as certain, there
fore, that the decision of the German
government not to call an international
conference disposes of the
matter indefinitely. What effect this
will have upon the cause of bimetal-
ism remains to be seen, but it would
seem that its tendency must be to check
lgitation of that policy, at least, in
Europe. American free silver .advo-
,ates may find in it an incentive to
more strongly urge their policy of hav-
ng the United States open its mints

silver regardless of the action of other
lations but they are not likely to win

AN[ERLC1NS LN CIrR1.

The report to the effect that Ameri-
cans resident in Havana are apprehen-
sive of violence from the Spaniards
by reason of the strong sympathy of
our people with the insurgents may
not be well founded. 1t is possible
that 1t was sent out with view to
strengthening American sympathy with
the insurgents and influencing the feel
ing in congress favorable to according
belligerent rights to the Cuban patriots.
1t certainly seems incredible that in en-
listing circumstances the Spaniards
would be so reckless as to treat Ameri-
can citizens in Cuba in Il way sure to
provoke our people and incite retalia-
ton. Unquestonably the Spaniards
have no friendly feeling for Americans,
but the more intelligent of them must
understand that II greater mistake could
not be made at this time than to mani
fest their hostility in acts for which
our government would be compelled to
hold Spain responsible.
1t is said that the Spanish govern
mcnt has given assurance to our govern
bithb til'tt thc III 'UDd Is 10
be continued without undue rigor. The
rights of American citizens in Cuba
are secured by treaty, but it is urged
that our government might at this june
ture very properly adopt measures
which will insure Spanish respect for
treaty obligations. Not only would it
be well to formally notify the Spanish
government that the security of Amer-
can citizens in Cuba must be main
tained, but as precautionary measure
1t would not be amiss to station a war
vessel where it would be available in
an emergency to protect American citi-
zens. 1t is not desirable that our
government do anything not strictly in
conformity with its international duty
and obligations. This country should
take no advantage of Spains desperate
situation. But it should do whatever
is necessary to the full protection of its
citizens in Cuba.

Congressman Hniner's Triumph.

The action of the house of representatives
on Monday last in striking out customary
appropriation OF small sum of money for
German (Catholc) orphan asylum in the
District of Columbia appears to justify the
boast Of the "A. =. AS that they have their
servitors in congress. At any rate, this
movement WAS attributed to the instigat!on
of the A. P.lA.'s! and the charge was very
feebly contradlcted Representative Haner
of Nebraska, who led this little know-nothing
crusade, was born in Hungary and was
brought by his parents to the United States
(when years old in 1854, the year of the
first know-nothing campaign. Although Mr..
Hainer has achieved a small victory over
the German orphan children IN the District
Of Columbia, his, triumph and that of the
A. p. AS may prove extremely short-lived.
The American people have no sympathy with
that kind of warfare.

The announcement that Henry Estrabrook
of Omaha is to change his residence to
Chicago, is a source Of genuine regret to all
who have ever come In contact with this
gentleman, who occupies a somewhat unique
place in the public life of Nebraska. Here
In this state we are not surfeited with men
Of Esabrook's culture and polish and when
we find a man who has these qualities, and Is
withal a jolly good fellow, we are in the
presence of a product sufficiently rare to be
regarded with rather marked respect and
esteem. Mr.. Esabrook Is not a self-assertiye
man. He is much less known than fifty or
a hundred infinitely smaller men, who man
age to attract public attention in this state,
But where he Is known he is appreciated.
AS a regent OF the State university and as
guest Of the Young Mems Republican club he
has been prominently known In this city. IN
his departure from tne state the university
win lose one Of its staunchest and ablest
friends. and Nebraska one of its foremost
citizens. Mr. Esabrook Is the most polished,
scholarly speaker In Nebraska. As an orator

AN INVITA- TTON TO FRAUD,

If the present congress does not do
something to better protect the treasury
against undewaluation frauds per-
petrated by dishonest importers its fail
ure will be ineXcusable. 1t Is stated
that the federal courts are crowded
with cases in which frauds by under
valuation are charged and the number
of such cases steadily grows. How
much the treasury has lost by these
frauds it Is impossible to say, but the
amount Is very large, and while some of
ii may be recovered the immediate eff
feet is to embarrass the treasury, be
sides putting the government to heavy
cost. 1t is estimated that the loss
through underyaluations equals 10 per
cent of the entire revenue from GUS
toms, but in some lines the loss Is
greater than this, for example, in the
woolens schedule.
The Philadelphia North American

ton to put an end TO such practices
