The issue in the republican convention

respect for the truth will deny IT. The

course to pursue than to shout for Rose

THE NEW Law AND CUT RATES.

A number of eastern papers. which
as usual in such prospect view with
alarm the possibility that the western
grain crop may through railroad cut
ting be moved to market this season
at a very large saving to the pro-
ducers, are endeavoring to draw con-
ISOLATION from the hope that such rate
wars will be prevented by the opera
ton of the new interstate commerce
law. But as a matter of fact the new
law does not prevent reduction of
rates where rates are cut for all alike.
1t is intended to prevent the gross dis
ordinations which were inflicted in
the old-fashioned rate wars, and to
whether they are advanced or re-
duced.
The law as IL will be in force after
August % will forbid any change" in
rates, fares and charges except after
thirty days notice to the commission
and to the public" whereas the old
law provided that mo advance shall
be made" without ten days notice, but
permitted reductions on only three
days notice. But the fact that q cut
rate once in effect could not be re-
stored for at least thirty days by no
means warrants the conclusion that
competing and angry railroad compa-
nies would cease to make war, but
merely defines one of the conditions
under which war might be as effect
lively waged as heretofore.
The competitive motive with refer
ence to grain freight between the gull
port and the Atlantic port lines will in
no wise be abolished by the new laws
change of the details of notice regard
ing rates 1t might conceivably be en-
HANGED under certain circumstances
But the amended requirements Ger,
tainly will equalize the benefits oil
such competition to whatever extent
1t may be carried.

AN IMPORTANT TREASURY ORDER

An LhPORIANT TREASURY ORDER.
A fact of vast Importance. which
hitherto has singularly escaped the
public attention to which it is entitled,
is only just now being emphasized,
namely, that Secretary Shaw has or
dered that silver shall be redeemed
in gold upon presentation at the treas
ury. 1t is, of course, we'll known that
the law as It stood prior to the act of
March IA, 1900, establishing the gold
standard did not require or authorize
the treasury to exchange directly gold
for silver. a situation of which the
silverites sought to make much in
their agitation, but 1t is not so well
known that that act itself did not pro-
vide in express terms for redemption
in gold of silver currency.
II had been declared by previous
acts in general terms to be the policy
of the government to maintain all
forms of currency at parity, but the
act of March IA. 1900. went further
and established the gold standard,
pledging that all forms of money
should be maintained thereon and Gre
ating an immense gold fund for re-
demption of treasury notes. but leav-
ing the maintenance of parity of other
forms of money to the secretary of
the treasury. Under his order, there
fore, 1t is possible for the first time
for the holder of silver currency of
whatever form, certificates or coin. in
large or small sums. to exchange it
at his option for gold at the treasury.
The total volume of silver currency,
coin and certificates, is now about
| $3.50, 100000, but there is no danger
that even so enormous a volume can
be used to raid the treasury for gold
| ton is at the helm. Since exchange
ability is the condition of parity, peril
could come only from an unsound
money administration that would re-
scind the rule of treasury redemption
of silver in gold in time of financial
stress. Another important safeguard
is the system of provisions under
which the silver certificates are for
the most part issued in small denom-
nations, so that the demand for them
in circulation would make it difficult
to accumulate them in formidable
amounts for raiding purposes.
But the situation should emphasize
the vital point, that. Notwithstanding
the many salutary provisions of the
gold standard act, the true and funda-
mental assurance Of monetary stability
rests, after all. upon the fidelity to
sound money principles Of those who
administer the government.

COMPARATIVE BOND VALUES.

The successful sale of $4,000, 900
Panama per cent bonds at about 104,
with an over-subscription of ten times
that amount at nearly as high a pre-
MUM. contrasts strongly even with
many bond offerings which have Justly
been regarded as gilt edged. While
some New York municipal bonds have
been sold within two years on a basis
which is a little more than 3 per cent
par, no such prices have lately been
or are now possible. Large issues of
Philadelphia municipal bonds not long
ago were marketed on a ~ per cent
basis, but It is acknowledged that no
such favorable terms can be secured
for an issue that is soon to be placed.
The fact is we'll established that there
is no great amount of money seeking

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
An amendment TO the constitution of
Nebraska providing for an elective
state railway commission to exercise
powers within the state corresponding
more or less exactly TO those Of the
Interstate Commerce commission over
interstate railroads has been submitted
by the legislature and will be voted on
at the election in November.
To amend our constitution 1t is nee
essary to secure an Affirmative ratih-
cation by a majority of all the votes
cast at an election OF legislative OFF,
GERS, and previous attempts to revise
the constitution in this state have
failed because neglect to vote on the
amendment on the part Of anyone vot-
ing for state officers is equivalent to a
vote against the amendment. This
year, by a special provision of law, all
straight party votes will be recorded
in favor of or against the ratification
OF the amendment, according as the
party takes action for or against the
amendment by resolution or motion in
state convention.
The republican county conventions
that are being held throughout Ne
braska are. with few exceptions, ex-
pressing themselves on the question of
this constitutional amendment and in
structing their delegates to the state
convention TO vote for a declaration
favoring it's adoption. The repub-
Leans, however, are not alone RESPONSE
BILE for the success or defeat of this
amendment. II 1t is In conformity
with a general popular demand. as it
seems to be, the responsibility will be
( shared by the democrats, populists,
prohibitionists and even socialists, who
are equally authorized in their state
conventions to give it the advantage of
| the straight party votes by the adop-
! ton of proper resolutions.
All these parties are holding their
/ party conventions at the same time
with the republicans and the state
conventions of the democrats and OF
the populists are scheduled to come of
ahead of that of the republicans.
What are the democrats and populists
going to do with reference to the
constitutional amendment? Failure to
act, thus contributing to its defeat,
would belle the professions they have
been loudly making for railroad reg
ulation. The silence of democratic
county conventions in so many in
stances would indicate that they are
laying no stress on this important mat
ter, just as their state committee
showed their Indifference by failing to
draw attention to it in their convention
call.
II the democrats and populists will
get in line with the republicans fol-

will be no question as to it's ratiflca
tion-otherwise the railroads may
succeed in comprising it's defeat
