It is rumored that ho has handed in his resig nation to the president , feeling that ho can no longer perform the important du ties of chief of the treasury department. This is to be regretted. Mr. Manning has made a good secretary of the treasury. Ho brought to the oflico Jong experience In matters of finance , and ho has shown a clear head , good judgment and firmness in the performance of his duties. IT is to bo hoped that the choice of members of the board of education will bo made this year on an unpartisan basis. The school board has nothing whatever to do with politics , and politics should bo entirely discarded in the selection of tncmbcrs. If the central committed would agree to make 110 nominations and to leave the choice to a meeting of citizens irrespective of party , that would bo the toost desirable method. Next to that , a nomination through concerted action of the two committees would bo most satis factory. There should bo no scramble for positions in the board of education , nnd the candidates should not bo made a parly issue. Mn. LAJIATI has decided that the subsi dies paid by the Central and Union Pa cific railroads to the Pacific Mail arc not "necessary operating expenses"and can not therefore bo deducted from the gross expenses in order to arrive at the net 20 per cent which is payable to the treasury of the United States. This is sound. The subsidies which the Pacific Mail extorted as the price of not comoeting with the Pacific roads wore simply blackmail. During the last nine years the Union Pa cific has paid the steamship conipanj $854,000 and the Central Pacific about § 500,000. Mr. Lamar advises the Irons ury department to enforce the collcctioi of this little balance. SENATOR HOAIJ succeeded in prevent ing the Van Wyck amendment to Ed munils' resolution from coming to a volt "by raising the point that it was out ol order , as it changed the rules of tbe son ftto without the usual notice. This was a great relief to the senatorial sticklers for star chamber etiquette. The scnatoi from Nebraska ventures to express the opinion that had his resolution come to t vote it would have passed. The crusade against the secret session has gained ground rapidly since the day when Mr , Edmunds expressed his horror at the ban suggestion of considering nominations it open session. IT now appears that Mrs , Stanton dit not write to Miss Cleveland in deprecation tion of low-nookod dresses ; that Mist Cleveland did not in return prescribe tin limit of upper nakedness ; and that Senator tor Logan has not published a mi lit an novel ; all of which leads the Philadclphi : Jlceord to say : "Congress is so slow in get ting down to its work that the [ versatile Washington correspondents of the news payers tire oxorcibing their exuberant fan oy in furnishing an expectant public wit ) news. Wliilp it may bo fair game t < worry the senator from Illinois , it is no { air to badger the ladles. They arc enti tlud. at least , to that candor of criticisn vhioh has a basis of truth to rest upon.1 Sr.NATOii VAN WYCK bravely cast hi Vote against the Kdmundb resolutions re gardiug the right of the , senate toques tlon the executive in respect to removals Many other senators on the ropublicai shlo would have donp thu same it the ; had dared to voice their real sentiments The attempt to bullyrag the presidcn was purely for political ollcct. It wa doomed to defeat from the start. Th question involved had been settled year ago , nnd the decision was not in favor o Mr , Edmunds1 position , When Mi Cleveland declined to bo cross examine * that should have ended the controversy There was nothing more to bo gained b. pushing the matter. Tlio object of tli inquiry which was to - placeMr. . Clove laud's promises of adhcruuco to civil soi vloo reform in contrast with his porforn : "unco m the matter of removals was tlio , 'secured. To carry out the progrannn and to place the senate on record as u : sorting a right which neither the const tutlon nor precedent gives it was foolish pleco of bravado. As Senator Va Wyck scntontiously remarked , ' 'the burnt powder1 Chntnbcrlntn'0 Defection. Mr. Chamberlain has finally handed in is ! resignation , and Mr. Gladstone's cabinet loses an Important element of strength In losing the great radical cadcr , Six months ago no student of English politics would have believed it lossiblo that the premier would advance a scheme for Irish pacification which the icad of the Birmingham radicals would refuse to follow on the ground that it was 00 advanced. Mr. Chamberlain , like Mr , Morlcy , had always been considered ho ardent advocate of radical methods n dealing with the Irish problem on the ino of conciliation and homo rule , while even in his own party Mr. Gladstone's conservatism in the same direction was 1 matter of frequent comment. Events liavc caused the political separation of -wo men who ought to have united forces n securing a settli'iucnt of tlio troubles in Ireland. Naturally a whig , with strongly avowed preferences for a gov ernment along thu lines of English tradi tion , the premier has been forced by rowing public opinion into a policy which is opposed by the entire aristocracy of Great Uritaln and which runs counter to the sentiments of all sticklers for the maintenance and development of impe rial rule. Mr. Chamberlain , on the other hand , has for years held aloft the banners of advanced radicalism. Ho has op posed the hereditary clars on all they hold most dear. Ho has advocated the widest possible extension of the franchiseto liio masse ? , the destruction of entail , disestablishment of the church and division of the lauded estates of the gentry. His democracy lias been open and unblushing. With the ad/unco of radicalism in the liberal ranks , lie was looked upon in many quar ters as the natural successor of Mr. Glad stone in party leadership. His defection at the present crisis and on such an issue is explainable only on the grounds of dis appointed ambition. Ho felt slighted at the humble ollico to which ho was as signed in the cabinet , and lie seems deter mined to ruin what ho was not permitted Lo rule. Mr. Chamberlain may like Sam son succeed in pulling down llio tructuro of the liberal cabinet , but like Sam-son ho may perish in the ruins. His day seemed near at liand. 116 had a largo and an enthusiastic following , who admired him for the brilliancy of his attainments , and re spected him for his outspoken convic tions. But his desertion of the govern ment in its struggle for Irish rights may indefinitely postpone the dream of his political life. Liberal England , which , after a century of struggles , lias succeeded in securing homo rule for itself through an enlarged franchise , has little-sympathy for the class whicliis working strenuously to fasten the chains of English landlord ism and English legislation upon [ reland. The men who have been for years yearning for the opportunity to acquire farms in England will not support those who arc training every nerve to prevent the Irish Lcnr.nls from obtaining the same privi lege. Liberalism in England is the nat ural ally of reform across the channel. It is so by common hopes and common endeavors for common aims. The expe rience of the past , which taught Mr. Gladstone , has educated his party. Mr. Chamberlain will not , he cannot succeed in turning back tlio tide. If ho stands in the path ho is much more likely to bo en gulfed in the waves. A Nloo Job. The attempt of the advocates of the Cinnabar & Clark's Fork railroad bill to rush that measure through the senate without reference to a committee was very properly defeated. The bill is a jot ) which needs thorough ventilation. It proposes to grant the right of way through nearly fifty miles of the Yellow stone Park unttar the preterite that the route is necessary in order to reach the Cinnabar mines. As a matter of fact the aim of the projectors is to obtain a monopoly of traffic and travel into the park by a franchise which has been con sistently denied to other parties. There is a nearer and a bettor way to reach tlio mines over shorter surveys which lie entirely outside of the reser vation limits. The national park has been set aside for national purposes , The policy of the government is to preserve - servo it from intrusion and desecration for the use of the public. Largo amounts of money are to bo spent in improving its roads and making its scenic features in all their romantic beauty available to those who visit it. Corporation speculat ors should bo warned that the boundaries of llio park must bo the limits of their enterprise. To invade the park by rail would bo taking away the charm of its seclusion , to injure its forests and drive away the game along the line of route. The Cinnabar & Clark's Fork road is a job projected In the interests not of mining industry , but of railroad stock jobbers. It is not demanded by the interests of the section which it proposes to servo. A shorter and an easier route can readily bo found , and the profiles are now on file in the company's ' p'ortfolio. What the invaders of the park are after is not mineral , but monopoly , They are cry ing public interest in order to mask their private schemes , The committee on ter ritories will doubtless see that their bill leaches a safe pigeoii-liolo in the commit tee room. The I'owdorly Circular , The associated press has given publicity to a "secret" circular directed to the Knights of Labor of America by General Master Powdorly. Taking It for granted that Mr. Powderly is quoted correctly , which is by no means certain , wo will comment upon it as it appears to an out sider. Thu key-note of Mr. Powdcrlv't circular is paticnco and conciliation , lie commends to the Knights patiouco and forbearance as the most eilbctivo mourn of securing the objects of their onlur Hoirgos a conciliatory course botweor dissatislicd workmen ami their employer ; tuul de ; > vucatcs strikes as a moan : of settling disputes wherever they car bo avoided. Mr. .Powderly , who is coo and eleai-headed , evidently foresees the danger of harmful and wasteful confiict ! merely for the sake of testing thostrcngtl of the order. Ho realizes that UK Knights of Labor have become an un wieldy body , which , above all things needs discipline and level hoadpd dirco tion. It is a very easy thing to got up i strike , and quite another thing to foot tin bills. But even if the luilghu were full' prepared tor a long and exhausting siege thvy are not yet sufficiently discipline to refrain from nil violence , Thoj cannot restrain thounthlnkingclcmcntiii their order from making strikes an occasion for forcible Interference with properly rights and disturbances of the peace. It is for this reason that Mr. Powderly warns the Kniphts of Labor to bo careful about admitting now members. He foresees clearly that designing politi cians , marplots , spies and monopoly cap pers will enter the ranks for selfish pur poses or to create discord and turmoil inside of the order. In cautioning thoKnfghU'against roor backs gotten up by agitators who love a fight for thosako of a fightMr. Powdcrlv expressly warns "the brotherhood against acting upon reports that a general strike has been ordered cither for the pur pose of redressing criovanccs or enforcing the eight hour law. Ho shows that strikes are war and that war injure ? all con cerned , and adds that while the motto of the order is , "An injurv to one is the concern - corn of all , " it is not \viso to injure all for one. Arbitration and not force , nays Mr. Powderly , is the tribunal before which Knights must lay their troubles. Their success as Knights will bo in proportion to tlio general use of this court. It is cheap , available and effective ) . It stops no work , closes no doors , brings no want to the door of homo and family , and excites no bitterness , it docs not menace the peace of society or inllamo the passions of employers or employes. These are bravo words from a bravo man. The registrars have now opened thuir books and will sit for purposes of regis tration in the various precincts for a week to como. Tlio places where voters maybe bo registered will bo found in tlio notices published el.sewhcro in this issuo. It is highly important that every qualified voter in Omalia should sco to it that his name is properly on the list. Tlio law makes registration a picrcquisito for casting the ballot. It will not do to trust to the old lists. Mtinr names are being erased. The only sure method to prevent disfranchisement is for voters to person ally visit the registrars and see that their names and residence arc correctly listed. Tlio coming election is to bo one of the highest interest to all citizens and tax payers of Omaha. Six members of tlio city council and three of the board of education are to bo chosen. It is of great moment that every taxpayer should have a voice in the choice of the men who arc to govern the city for two years to conic. Upon tlio selection made will depend tea a very large degree the welfareof Oma- liti and of her citizens. More than a mil lion of dollars will bo expended between now and 1833 in public improvements in this city. This large amount will bo dis bursed by order of the city council. Whether it will bo disbursed honestly or not depends largely upon the choice of the electors of Omaha at the polls. Register ; and register early. Do not take a friend's word that your name is on the list. See to it in person so that there can bo no possibility of mistake. It will bo a ditlicult matter this year to swear in votes at the polls. Every citizen should therefore bo sure to register in person be fore the books are closed.- THE musical festival which is to bo given in the Omaha exposition building in the month of Juno promises to bo a great success in every respect. It will bo the most brilliant musical event that has over occurred in Omaha , and it will at tract the attendance of people from all quarters of Nebraska and western Iowa. It will bo one of the best advertisements that Omaha has ever had. The conductors of the cutorpise , Messrs. C. I ) . Hess and S. G. Pratt , of Chicago , have been guaranteed $8,000 by the exposi tion company. It is now pro posed by the company to solicit sub scriptions to cover the guaranty , but not to call for the payment of the 'subscrip tions unless there is a deficit in tlio re ceipts , and in that event the assessment would only bo pro rata. Under the most unfavorable circumstances the deficit could not bo very largo , and hence the pro rata assessments upon sub scribers would amount to but vorv little , But there is no doubt in our mind thattha receipts of the festival will laige'ly ex ceed the guaranty. We believe that they will foot up over $12,000. , The call for subscriptions is simply to cover a contin gency , and a Ivory remote ono at that. Wo hope , therefore , that our citizens will not hesitate to subscribe to this public en terprise , as the managers of the exposi tion building deserve the most liberal public support. IN an article yesterday relating to the tax-fighting methods of the Pullman com pany in Wisconsin , Tennessee and other states , the BEE stated that it believed the Pullman Pacific Car company paid nc taxes in Omaha. This is a mistake , tu we find upon investigation that the com pany has regularly paid taxes in this city for several years , and whatever ciuisos the Pullman company may have for resisting - sisting taxes in other states it seems te have no ground of complaint in Ne braska. MASTKH POWDEULY warns the Knights of Labor against being taken in by taking in politicians and parties who want to make the Knights of Labor plaj cat's-paw in pulling chestnuts out of tlio hot ashos.
