A QUESTION OF TIVE,

The house of representatives at Wash

asked for a conference with the senate.
on the revenue reduction bill. Some Of
the republican members had urged that
the house should refuse to enter into a
conference, by way of rebuking the
senate for having entirely recast the
bill, which was held by those gentle
men to be an invasion of the preroga.
tive of the house. This view, however,
was entertained by only small minor
ity, as the vote shows.
The house, of course, possesses the
exclusive power to initiate revenue leg
islation, but having acted under it's
constitutional prerogative in this re-
spect there Is no restriction upon the
senate I'm the matter of changes and
amendments. The senate has FOR many
sessions past recast tariff and revenue
bills from the first pages to the last
and the house has In more than one
case accepted n senate substitute with
out making the least alteration in It,
In view of this the chairman of the
ways and means committee refused his
assent to the proposed declaration of
war against the senate In this case and
nearly all the republican members of
the house, stood with him.
1t Is n fact nevertheless, that the
house has In recent years been given
cause to complain Of the disposition

HAZING AND ITS FINISH.

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune: Briefly,
that congressional committee concludes that
Booz would. in the natural course OF hu-
man events, have died IL he hadn't been
hazed.
Chicago Inter Ocean: Those religious and
secular journals which have been assum-
ing that Booz was murdered should now
apologize for their attacks upon his former
associates. A confessedly hostile civilian
jury has confirmed the verdict Of the sup
posedly friendly military court. The al
legged "murderers'' have been doubly exon
Grated.
Chicago News: The only attempt made
in any quarter toward justification for the
mlder form OF hazing Is that 1t tends to
eliminate milksops from the classes at
West Point Such young men, however.
may be eliminated in more humane ways
and certainly going to the extent Of killing
even "milksop' is not a practice the
government can permit in its own schools,
whose products are supposed to be gentle
men with military training superadded.
Chicago Record: The representatives Of
the four classes at West Point who sign II
promise to terminate the practice Of hazing
are insolept in the very promise they sub
NIT, by including In II defense OF the

whatever be the process. Let that promise
be accepted and welcomed at its full value
and let IL be fortified by the stringent leg

Then there will remain a fair assurance
that the military academy no longer will

as those ventilated in the last few weeks.

DEATH oF JrDGE MAXWELL.

The death of Samuel Maxwell re-
moves a notable figure in Nebraska his
tory. For more than third of q cen
fury Judge Maxwell was prominent in
the public life of this state. occupying n
place in the front rank of its eminent
lawyers and jurists. For him 1t may be
said that in the many positions of honor
and trust that he was called on to fill
In his long career he discharged the
duties devolving upon him conscien-
tiously and honestly and with credit to
himself.
AS participant in the several constitu-
tional conventions to frame our funda
mental law and as member of the high
est court of the state for more than
twenty years, Judge Maxwell has I'M
questionably left greater imprint of
his personality upon our legislation and
Jurisprudence than any other man.
The volumes of supreme court reports
attest his industry and close application
to the judicial work in hand and the
precedents set by him are being cited
every day I'm our courts as the guide for
later judges. His decisions, II Is true,
have in many instances been subjected
to severe criticism but on all occasions
he stood firmly in defense of popular
rights and fearlessly against official cor
ruptiOn. no matter when or where I'M
covered. He inspired popular confidence
in the rectitude of his intentions as
have few other men in public life.
Although one of the founders of the
republican party and a firm adherent to
the cardinal doctrines of republicanism,
Judge Maxwell died as convert to the
faith OF so-called silver republicanism
and fusion, under which he had held his
last public Office as member of congress
from the Third Nebraska district. To
his radical anti-monopoly views is to be
ascribed his dslodgment from the
bench. after which the step was short
TO the ranks of the fusionists. who stood
ready to invest him anew with political
honors. In discarding him without a
denomination after endorsing him for
faithful service as their representative
In congress, the fusionists only offered n
more striking example of political in
gratitude.

RUNNING TO COVER.
Assistant Democrats Getting Out of
the Way Rapidly.

SnlcaHO chronicle.
The fact that most of the leaders OF the
populist and silver republican parties have
avowed a purpose to classify themselves
hereafter as democrats is declared in
some places to mean that the Bryan fol-
lowing will be confined in the futlre to
the democratic party. The silver repub-
licans have passed away and, except for
the small faction which glories in the ap-
pellation OF ''middle-of-the readers" there
is to be no longer a populist party
When p political movement becomes so
odlous that the men who have been re-
sponsble for IL are anxious to escape even
the name of the thing the fact viii have
to be accepted as n sign OF health and prog
ress. The know-nothing party disap-
peared In this fashion and so did the green
hackers. The anxiety of silver republicans
and silver populsts to identify themselves
with democracy and to regulate the party
names under which they came into public
notice to the limbo of forgetfulness may
be accepted as proof that the silver de-
lusion Is dead and damned, When a po-
litical Idea Is disowned by the men who
brought II forward 1t is entirely safe for
even the habitual time-servers and trim
mers to give 1t parting kick Its powell
has departed
Populism and silver republicanism never
had any Importance in this country except
as they were abe to control the dodgers
and demagogues in the democratic party.
II was democracy which gave them re-
spectability as a political force. They
never had any respectablity as an intel
lectual force. The name and the numbers
of democracy made them terror to men
OF sound principle. II is safe to assume,
therefore, that, no matter by what title
they may elect TO be known hereafter,
their power for mischief has departed.

oERyAyr,s ECONOMIC PROBLEM.

The German government Is confronted
with serious economic problem. The
farmers are vigorously agitating for
more protection TO agriculture and de-
manding especially that the government
! shall not grant the same tariffs to the
United States as to other countries.
This agrarian element Is formidable In
numbers and influence. 1t embraces
not only the great land owners. hut
also many of the small farmers. There
is no question that the agricultural in
terest In Germany has for several years
been depressed and that its condition
has been growing steadily worse. The
explanation is found in outside compe
tition, through commercial treaties
which granted very little protection to
the home producer, as i'm the case of
those with Russia and Austria Hun
gary. In this competition the United
States has become considerable
factor.
The German farmer demands a
such protection as win enable him to
obtain for his products the profits of
former years. He realizes, of course,
that there must be some importation of
foodstuffs, because Germany does not
produce enough to feed her own people,
but he would have the tariff duties so
high that the competition of foreign
products would not take away all his
profits. The great body of consumers
not farmers, however, are naturally ar
rayed against this demand. They are
opposed to policy that would raise the
price of food. Industrial conditions in
Germany are such that the pay of
labor Is more likely to decline than
to advance. A short time ago il
was reported that in the iron and
steel trades most of the plants
were partly idle from a lack of or
ders. The wool-spinning trade suffered
heavy losses last year and the cotton
spinning trade Jared little better. At
the beginning of the present year it
was stated that in the labor market
things were drifting from bad to worse.
In such circumstances 1t is not sur
piiSlnB tHhl tue SOclullStS are nOlOlDE
meetings to protest against any in
crease in agricultural protective duties,
which would necessarily result In in
creasing the cost of food, at least while
agricultural production In Germany re-
mains insufficient to supply the home
demand. Should the policy asked for
by the agrarians be adopted its in
evitable effect would be to increase the
privation and distress said to exten-
sively prevail in the empire and which
Is already source of grave concern to
the government.
What the outcome of the agitation
will be cannot be clearly foreseen, but
1t seems perfectly obvious that Ger
many could make no greater economic
mistake than to adopt policy which
might result in Il tariff war with the
United States, for she cannot afford un-
der existing conditions to sacrifice her
trade with this country. We there
fore think 1t safe to say that the
agrarians will not obtain all they lie.

Chicago Tribune.
received an advance OF 35 per cent. In the
meantime the population has Increased ITO
per cent and the area OF the city 42O per
cent yet the city government Is expected
to care for this greatly enlarged territory
and population with only si,0Ss,li394 more
than 1t had in 1883. II has been period OF
unparalleled advancement In all lines. I'm.
provements that will stand for scores oil
years have been constructed from the FUNDS,
which have increased so slowly The in
come OF the city for corporate purposes In
1883 was 2l.SS per centum OF the total tax
levy. In 1899 the percentage decreased
4.22 making IL I'LL per centum OF the total
tax levy, as against 2l.S3 per centum in
1883. From this It should be perfectly plain
to the taxpayer why there is increasing
poverty on the part OF the city, notwith-
standing an increase in amount and rate
OF taxation.
The city will probably not receive its
proper proportion OF the taxes until many
OF the taxing bodies and tax-eating bodies
are abolished. II Is pure folly to expect
any administration to provide for the needs
of Chicago with the increased area and
population shown above by an increase OF
only 81 ,0s9.143.94 over the tax income OF
1888. The remedy for this is to be found
in my judgment, in new city charter.
The growth OF the city and the enterprise
of It's citizens have been strangled almost
to suffocation under the evil influence Of
these archaic provisions.
II the different taxing bodies, that is, the
park boards, the county, the towns, the
schools. the Libraries and the drainage
board were consolidated into one govern
ment in the present limits OF Chicago, not
only would there be centralized responsl-
biity in the administration Of public af-
fairs, but there would also be great saw
ing In the cost OF public administration.
Conditions in Chicago show an awakening
public consciousness. The enterprise OF the
citizens OF Chicago is worldwide In its rep
utation. II only remains to apply the same
characteristic study and attention to mu-
nicipaI affairs that have been devoted to
private business for the city OF Chicago
to furnish in municipal government the
same modern example OF excellence 1t has
already furnished the world in Industrial
affairs.

The German farmers are clamorous
for higher duties on agricultural prod
ucts. As Germany is unable to produce
enough foodstuffs for the support of the
population of the empire such duties
will not injure the American or other
exporting farmers, but by increasing
the cost of living in Germany will have
the effect of handicapping the industrial
