cult composition, which was played in
very fine manner by Nina Bushnell,
Myrtle Duncan, Bertha Duncan, and
Mrs. Jessie Albert. Miss Jenie Fry
gave "Polka de Concert" by Bartlett
which was very good. Miss Edith
Maplethorpe and Bertha Duncan gave
pretty duet in most pleasing
manner. Miss Nina Bushnell gave two
exceedingly difficult numbers, the first
one, "Polonaise op. 26, No. J." by
ChopinObeing especially well executed
and in perfect time.
The audience was then favored by
vocal solo, "Beloved, II Is Morn by
Miss Lois PEBBLES, who has a beautiful
mezzo soprano voice, and a clear enunci-
alton.
Miss Claire Jones played "Mazurka
Fantastique" with a clear musical
touch.
Recollections of Home" by Miss
Bertha Duncan, was very good, and the
feeling of the piece was beautifully dis
played.
Mrs. Grace Pierce and Miss Nina
Bushnell rendered a pleasing number,
"Scherzp-Brillante," in a most finished
manner. These duets are difficult to
play, but both the ladies rendered it in
a faultless manner.

$4OO more win be required for the re.
mainder Of the year, TO also cover ac-
count of VIM. Manning of $l04, for %
days labor. Mr.. Gesner thought il
looked suspicious to pay this bill with
out referring the report to the conn
mittee on parks for investigation, and
suggested that, in the future, such work
be passed around among the various
park commissioners. The report was
referred as suggested.
Crossan introduced a resolution ask
ing for estimates for bridges on a num-
ber Of streets crossing Mill creek, which
was unanimously adopted.
At this juncture the special commit
tee appointed last year to investigate
the accounts Of the city treasurer made
a supplemental report as to the state
of the city's accounts, which is printed
elsewhere in this issue Of The Journal.
The report was referred to the com
mittee on ways and means, TO bring
the same up TO January l, 1905.

report, which was referred as usual
Mr.. Bayne moved that the balance
estimated for park improvements in the
annual budget be now allowed the park
board. Carried.
Mr.. Steusloff urged that the foot
bridge on North Capital street be re-
paired, and moved that concrete pier
be placed in the center Of the stream,
and the bridge repaired. Referred 10
bridge committee.
Mr.. Gesner moved that the matter OF
the procedure Of the direct primary law
be referred to the city attorney, with
instructions to report the necessary ae.
tion to put IL into effect.
The ordinance 10 vacate the alley
in block "A was read the third time and
pasesd. This is the block occupied by
the residence of j. J. Murphy, and the
same alley was vacated about 20 years
ago, but no record of same was made.
The ordinance to establish the grade
on High street, between Leslie and
Lincoln streets, was read and passed
The ordinance to establish the grade
on Saginaw street, between Mission and
Lafelle streets, was also passed.
The ordinance to tax express COM
panies was amended to $500 per quar-

4 DIMINISHING DEFICIT.

The treasury deficit is being dimin-
ished. In the less than three months
Of the current fiscal year there has been
a very considerable increase in the re-
ceipts Of the government and a slight
decrease in expenditures. Present hg-
ures In comparison with those of cor
responding period n year ago show a
cutting down Of the deficit to the amount
Of over S7,OOO,OOO, which was quite un-
expected. Whfther or not this condi-
ton will continue throughout the fiscal
year is a matter Of uncertainty, but It
certainly gives promise that the deficit
at the close Of the current fiscal year
will be considerably less than has been
estimated.
This fact, however, should not prevent
a curtailment Of public expenditures
wherever 1t can be done without i'm
pairing the efficiency Of the public serv-
ice. Gratifying as is the growth Of rev.
enue, evidencing as 1t does the prosper
ity of the country, It should not be al
lowed to interfere with such reduction
in governmental expenditures as can be
wisely and properly made. What is
needed is that there shalLbe no deficit,
that the expenses of the government shall
be kept within the receipts, instead OF
running ahead, as has been the case for
some years. Nobody desires that the
government should adopt parsimonious
policy. This is a rapidly growing coun1
try and the demands upon the public
treasury which must be met are in
creasing from year to year. These can
not be neglected without injury to the
general welfare and the most radical
economist will not say that they should
be neglected. But unquestionably there
are directions in which a curtailment Of
expenditures can be made without in
terference in the least with the public
welfare.
This will be an important matter for
the determination Of the next congress.
II expenditures can be reduced, say to
the extent Of $20,OO0,OO0, there will be
no necessity for legislation to increase
the governments revenue. There Will
be no need of new internal taxation and
no necessity for changing the tariff so
as to get more receipts from customs.
We can go along as we are, with the GER
tainty that the government will have
enough money to meet all demands
from current revenue and that there will
be an end to the disagreeable deficit, the
effect of which is necessarily more or
less disquieting upon the public. 1t is
very pleasing to note a diminishing def
cit but that fact should not lessen the
demand for a reduction in public expen-
ditures wherever practicable.

WHEAT SUPPLY AND DEMAND.


The first official estimate of the worlds
wheat supply and demand for the year
has been made by the Hungarian minis
ter Of agriculture. 1t shows that the coun-
tries which have to import wheat have
produced slightly more than last year.
but they will require considerably more
than last year, assuming that their rate
Of consumption is maintained, which
probably will be the case. In regard to
the exporting countries, the Hungarian
estimate places the production largely in
excess of last year, thus allowing for a
considerable surplus even If the demand
Of the importing countries shall be as
large as estimated.
The wheat production of the United
States is placed at little over 675, 900 900
bushels and the surplus at 119,600 900
bushels. In regard to this the New York
journal Of Commerce remarks that there
must be a glaring error, the surplus
given for last year being much in excess
of the actual quantity. 1t is also apparent
from the latest reports that the Hun
garian estimate of the wheat production
for this year is much too high, these re-
ports, If authentic showing very heavy
falling off. According to this estimate
the worlds wheat supply for the current
year is only rev million bushels in ex-
cess of last year, which will be more
than offset by the increased demand. At
all events it seems evident that the sit
uation means that the price of wheat
will at least be maintined and may go
higher. The producers of that grain GER
tainly have no reason to apprehend de-
cline in its price.

SHIPS INn Trade.

In a recent speech Secretary Shaw
said that we could not expect to in
crease our trade unless we sent our
American goods in American ships.
Those who are opposed to legislation for
the encouragement of an American mer-
chant marine reply to this by saying
that our trade is growing notwithstand-
ing the fact that we are dependent upon
foreign ships for the transportation Of
our products TO markets abroad. That
is true, but the question is whether the
growth would not be much more rapid
II we sent these products to foreign mar
kets in ships carrying the American
flag.
That 1t would be is the opinion of
those who have given the matter care
full investigation, particularly as to
South America. A report made a short
time ago to the Department OF State
pointed out that the American flag was
rarely seen in a South American port,
while British and German ships carry
ing the flags of those countries were
numerous there. with the result that
those countries get most of the trade.
OF course these foreign ships carry
some American goods, but this country
does not get the credit and prestige
which 1t would have II its products were
corried under its own flag. The mer.
chants Of South America are largely in
luenced by this In their trading, as has
been repeatedly stated by representa-
tives Of the southern countries.
The question Of building up an Amer,
lean merchant marine, which has been
before the country for many years, will
again be considered ty the next con.
gress, and there is reason TO believe
that some definite action will be taken

WE Mrsr CHANGE rRE sIsrEM.

WE MUST CHANGE TIE S1STEM.
Whether the name Of the next county
judge is Leslie or Woodrough, the peo-
pie Of Douglas county will demand a
radical change in the keep-it-dark sys-
tenn that has for years prevailed in the
county court. First and foremost, there
must be a change in the method Of &C
counting, so that all Instructions to pub
licity shall be permanently removed.
At present the books of the county
court will not enable anybody to get
an insight into the internal workings
Of the office, and especially oil matters
affecting the heirship trust funds. There
must be stop to the farming out Of
widows and orphans funds for private
gain. At present, nobody can ascer-
tain just how much heirship money is
invested or loaned under direction of
the court. where 1t is deposited, or what
amount Of interest 1t is drawing. When
the settlement with Judge Vinsonhaler
is made next January the county COM
missioners must enforce a full account
ing for all interest that has been col
lected on the various funds that have
been in the hands of the judgel during
his three terms, and that money should
be turned over to the parties to whom
1t rightfully belongs or to the county
treasury.
Incidentally there should be an ac-
counting made of all the monies held
by the county court In trust for owners
of lands that have been taken by con-
demnation proceedings pending the llti
cation in the courts as to the award
Within the past six years this fund has
aggregated several hundred thousand
dollars, as we are informed, but under
the system no interest has been paid
have been made.
When the lid is taken off the sealed
chests Of the county court the fact will
be disclosed that rank favoritism has
been extended In the appointment of
guardians and administrators. For ex-
ample the bulk of all the guardianship
business has been done by Charles d.
Mcdonald, an unimportant lawyer, and
Mr.. Grimmel, a stenographer and clerk
in one Of our banks. For years we have
not been able to understand why these
parties had become such bitter Vinson-
haler partisans, but we have recently
learned the reason why, and also the
reason why these same gentlemen want
to help to manage a campaign for the
Vinsonhaler succession as members of
the republican county committee.
When the lid is finally taken off and
the system is exposed to full view, peo-
pie of Omaha and Douglas county will
have a surprise in store such as they
have not had since the lid was taken off
the city and state treasures some eight
years ago.

The direct primary like the Australian
ballot has come to stay in Nebraska. 1t
is not necessary to wait until the leglsla-
ture has enacted a law to make it go
into effect, although it will eventually
have to be regulated by law in order to
make it uniform in every voting dis
trict. The direct primary has for a
number of years operated successfully
in Arkansas in the selection of state off,
GERS and choice of United States sena-
tors and has been acquiesced in by all
factions of Arkansas democracy, which
constitutes about four-hfths OF the vot-
ing population of that state.
