| Emperor Nicholas of Russia has be-
come so much alarmed by the rapidity
with which the estates are passing out
of the possession OF the MuScovte no.
bility that he has given orders for the
organization of a special division in the
department of the interior which Is to
occupy itself exclusively with the well
| fare of the aristocracy and with the
endeavor OF retaining the latter in the
ownership of its lands. In certain prov
| inces no less than 80 per cent of the ter
ritorial possessions of the aristocracy
| has passed by means OF forecloseu
mortgages and sales through the credit
banks into the hands of the peasantry-
of course, in small parcels-and both
the Car and his government are afraid
that If matters go on at the present
rate it will not be long before all the
land in European Russia is owned in
freehold by the mouiik. while the nobii-
ity. without estates or means OF exist
ence. will be converted from a bulwark
to the throne into the gravest kind OF
peril thereto.
The discussion thereon has led to the
official announcement that the heredi-
tary nobility of Russia, much of it un-
titled. numbers 14,0O0 families all told,
5000 of these families having estates of
less than 100 acres in extent. and heav
lily mortgaged at that.
In this connection It is interesting to
turn to one of the most authoritative of
French scientific reviews. which. accord
ing to carefully compiled statistics,
shows that there are at the present mo-

conducted can have a sound and sufi-
cient reason for not allowing those who
have money in It to know what It Is
doing and the corporation that with
holds this information must sooner or
later lose the faith Of stockholders.
This is a simple business proposition
which It would seem all the managers
of the industrial combinations should
understand and act upon. The men at
the head Of the great steel corporation
recognize It and 1t has worked no in
jury to the business. 1t can do no in
Jury to any corporation whose business
is conducted on a sound basis. On the
contrary, there is every reaso to be-
lieve that every such corporation-that
is, those that are properly and honestly
conducted-would find a reasonable de-
gree Of publicity Of decided practical
advantage. 1t would certainly give
them a standing in public confidence
which they cannot otherwise secure.
1t is generally conceded that publicity
is one of the best safeguards against
the trust system, that 1t is necessary to
protect the public from whatever is
harmful or dangerous in that system.
This being 10 the people will insist that
publicity be required of the industrial
combinations by law and 1t would be
good policy on the part of the combina-
tons to meet this demand before they
are compelled to do so.

EXIT OF

The final order of dismissal following
on the findings in the trial Of ex-Fire
Chief Redell is the natural consequence
Of the impossible position which Chief
Redell assumed when the charges
against him were originally filed. In
stead Of accepting the situation and
meeting his accusers with q REPUTATION
Of their charges, Chief Redell. under
the influence Of bad advice that has
proved so costly to him, preferred to
defy the authority of the police COM
mission under which he had been serY-
ing by refusing to recognize its authority
to discipline him In any way.
The evidence brought out at thp hear
ing will certainly convince every I'M
prejudiced person that the ex-chief had
called down upon himself his unfor-
tunate dilemma and had given good
grounds for some measur of discipline.
That dismissal was the only sufficient
penalty in view Of the insubordinate at
titude taken as soon as the charges were
preferred, II the discipline and efficiency
Of the force of the fire department is to
be maintained, will also be readily
agreed to by every one who realizes
what the essentials are to a weIl-manned
fre-tightlng force.
Although ex-Chief Redell had outllved
his usefulness as a member Of the
Omaha fire department, 1t is only fair
to say that the department owes much
to the work he has done. At the time
he was called in to take charge our fire
department had reached a low ebb OF
effectiveness. Chief Redell infused new
life into the demoralized force by bring.
ing modern methods of fighting fires into
requisition. There Is no question but
that under his supervision the men In
the department made great. advances
but he brought with him, also, the
sparks of disorganization and insubordi
nation which, famed by ~favoritism
vindictiveness and cruelty on the par
of the chief, eliminated in the necessity
of his retirement.
With the disturbing element removed
which hung over the department In the
possibility of ex-Chief Redell's reingtate
ment, the efficiency Of the department
should be raised to the highest posi-
BILE standard and every effort made Il
repress d~issensiOn and enforce stricr
discipline, by which alone this resul
can be achieved.

T8c BieTppIroF WASHINGTON.


Public observance Of the anniversary
of Washington's birthday, which years
ago was general, is now rare, but while
the stimulus to popular patriotism
which the former-time public demon
STATIONS gave is no longer afforded,
reverence for the memory Of George
Washington is as strong and sincere
now as IL ever was. He still holds first
place In the hearts Of his countrymen,
still towers above all others as the en-
bodiment and exemplar of the loftiest
patriotism, is still esteemed the greatest
and grandest figure in our history.
This being universally acknowledged,
1t is needless to dwell upon the charac-
ter Of Washington. 1t will be more
profitable to revert to the wise and pa
triotic admonitions he left his country

oovERgaDNr DEPOSITS I'm BANKS,

Soon after going into Office Secretary
Shaw wrote to a New York congressman
regarding a measure providing for the
deposit of government funds at interest
in national banks. The secretary OF the
treasury said he thought that some pro-
vision for the deposit Of surplus funds
Of the government with national banks,
upon security other than government
bonds, would be wise, and he also
stated that If the government had real
lied 2 per cent upon the funds which
have been deposited In banks since the
national banking law went into effect
it would have received $780, zoo, 600.
In view of the large treasury surplus
and the importance of having a large
part of it made available for use in the
business Of the country, the question of
providing for an extension of the de-
posit Of government funds in national
banks is of considerable consequence.
Bills looking to this have been intro
duced In congress and doubtless some
action will be taken. 1t is stated that
there are two principal questions Of
surplus that are being considered by
certain groups of congressman. Some
are chiefly exercised by the fear that
the government will not get the maxi
mum advantage from the surplus and
some that the withdrawal of money
from circulation will have a bad effect
upon business at large. Both groups
seek to remedy matters by a change In
deposit requirements. One Of the bills
introduced provides for the collection OF
interest on government deposits In
banks, letting the present bond deposit
requirement stand, while another pro
poses that interest shall be collected on
deposits Of government funds, but that
these may be secured by a first lien or
the assets Of the banks.
So far as the question of security 1;
concerned, the government would per
haps be amply protected by a first lier
on assets, but 1t is very questionable
whether this proposition would be pop
ular. On the other hand, with bonds a
their present high price, 1t il unlikely
that the banks will be, willing to pay
interest to the government while at tn,
same time compelled to maintain sucl
valuable securities on deposit. There Il
a pretty general feeling that the bank
should pay interest on government de
posits, but as they cannot be compellet
to take deposits, consideration for thu
business interests Of the country mus
determine the policy to be adopted. TIL
expediency of making a large part o
the treasury surplus available for tn,
use OF the people is unQuestionable.
