The grand jury now In session Is prob- ably the last regalir grand jury that will ever serve In this eounty. Accord- ing to the law passed by the last leglsla- tare, the regular grand jury has been abolished and the “‘Information” system hes been substituted. The law provides that the several courts shall possess and exerclee the eame power and jurlsdlction to hear, try and determine mledemean- ors and offenses, to lasue writs and pro- cerses, and to proceed as In caves of like prosecation upon indlotment. It will be the duty hereafter of the district attor- ney to file Informations and conduct orimInal cases according to the new law. 1n the statement of offenses, the inform- atlon must ba as fall and precire on matters of substance as is required ln indictments in like cases.

With anything like a good export demand or & prosperous condition of general business, it is probable that the rise in prics would have been much greater, but foreign bayers: have continued about as indifferent as ever, and the comparative absencs of apeculative feeling on the part of the general public has teen a serious drawback to continuons buoyancy in the market. Shippivg demand has been available for export about 6 to 7 cents per bushel lower than winter wheat, The price of corn has advanced 1to 1§ cents per bushel, as a result mainly of a woll sustained demand for export, Receipts bave fallen off within a few days past, aud stocks ott the sea board are yery small. There has been much less specnlation in corn than in wheat, and the absence of manipulation ac counts for the disproportionate riee in prices, Much ancertainty prevails as to the amount of corn yet remaining in the conntry, and the doubt on this subject as well as the prospect for an unusnally large crop this year, tends to hold in check the tendency to speculative buying that would otherwise be likely to re- sult from the steadiness of foreign demand. AN 1"V, 4 118FAOTORY OENSUS. The census that {s being taken in this clty promises to be a complete botch. In wans, and defeated by such a declsive ma- jorlty that nobody would have dared to predict that this scheme would be folsted apon the people within ninety days after the eleotion in spite of thelr rejection of the amendment. And now the crowning Infamy of this dastardly ontrage has been consummated In the choice of the men who are to pese before the people as railway regu- lators, As {f to add insult to injary, the head and front of the commiesion, Charles H. Gere, is notorlouely one of the most pliant tools and political cappers of the confedersted railroad monopolies, For many years thls man Gere hss been foremost in promoting snd defending every lifqulty that conld be devised and fostered by his masters, the corporation bosses. It has been his province to ridi cule and belittle every attempt to redress thelr grisvances from excessive exactions, and for the rubsidies that have been dealt out to him and his partners and as- soolates he has lent himself to every dfs: reputable echome and device by which conventions and leglslatures have been packed and corrapted.

S—————— Tae rceent colllsions of steamships and other vessels with ice-bergs in the Atlantic has caused {nventors. to turn their ingenuity towards inyectiog some opparatus to protect ships from such acoidents end to prevent collislons during fogs. If the about thirty employed, Fuarthermore, in 1880 thirty days were allowed by law to the enumerators, and the time was ex- tended thirty days in order to give tlme to properly complete their work. The tima allowed for thls census s not more than thirty days. The clty has more than doubled in population since 1880, and it stands to reason that more time and more enumerators are now needed. In the mext place the enumerators are required to ask some of the most foolish and irrele- vant questions imsglnable. What earth- Iy uze Is there, for Instance, In asking about grand parents, thelr natlonality, age, &o., and extending the genealogloal record back to the days of Adam? What does anybody care abont what a child dled of, whether it was croup, meaales, whooplng cough, chicken pox, emall-pox, diptherla, or any other of the {nnumer- able ills to which infant flesh is helr to? What sense s there in asking a parent in what cemetery a child is burled? These are but a few of the many absurd quea- tlons with which the blanks are lumbered up, and which take up the timo of the enumerators as well as of the people. To record all the anawera will require about fifteen minutes’ time for each person. This would oaly allow ;the recording of not more than fifty names a day. At this rato the census would prove an endleso job. Bat wedo not hesitate tosay thatnot ten per cent of the blanks will be snswered in full. In many cases it is {mpossible for persons to answer these questions, even if they aro willlng to do 80. Why, then, carry out this useless system, the atatistics of which will ba im- perfect at the best and, therefore, utterly worthle:s? We don’t want any census of disease and death, but we do wanta complete enumeration of the people that are living and moving about the streets of Omaha to-day. We would like to know just how many people there are in Omshs, no more, no less, but it is evident that the preeent census, owing to the slipshod and cum- bersome method In which it is being taken, will never accomplish any such a result, The questions hould he reduced to the lowest number peseible. All we really care about is name, sge, sex, and pationallty. 1f these questions were all that were to be snswered the census coald be easily taken and made complete. Thero are at less: 5,000 peraons living io rooms in private hous:s and blocks who {ake their meals elsewhere, and wo ven- ture to say that but a small percentage of them will be recorded, owing to alack of system in finding their whereabouts during the day when they areat work Some plan should be devised by which all such perzons ecan be properly enumerated. It is eafo to say that not more than two-thirds of our populstion will be recorded under the present way of 1aking the census. There ought to be at least seventy-five enum- erators, who should work under the di roction of a compstent chief, snd the blanks should be simplified.

The rallway com- misslon was concelved in iniguity and begotten in corruption and fraud bya gang of highwaymen whose sole Interest itis to concoct schemes to defer the re- dress from oppressive wrongs which the people demand at the hands of its legisl tares. It now goes into operation through a get of political hacks, whose only aim aud object {s to draw their salaries and make all railway leglslation a mockery and a sham. or WESTERN NEWS, DAKOTA., Huron has expended nestly $70,000 in new buildings this year.

T SHERMAN. e — The Estimated Wheat Shortage, CoLuybos O, June 9 —The Ohio state board of agriculture, from official aud private dispatches from the principsl whea: states, estimates the probable thortage at 180,/ 00,000 hnshels as compered with five years' average Of this shortage 118 100,00 was found in the great wiater states —Obio, Indisna, Ilinois, Misscuri, Kausas, and California—which, ou e, yield 208 000,000 bush- | . An comoared with last year the sbortage is over 220,000,000 bushels, { would this one, NEW YORK'S OANDIDATES, Who the Prominent Men Are Who are Being Figured For the Democratic and Republi can Nominations to the Governorahip The politleal fight for the control of New York state next autuam s certain to ba exc ediogly bitter, Her importancs tn politicsl campalgns and the uncertainty of her politieal complexion have been reasons enough for esraest stroggles in the pas'; but te-dsy both republ.cans and democras feel that the preetigo of the now admiui-tration largely depends upon the result « f the comiog election for gov- ernor, Every aid that elther party cin briog into the field, whether it be moral, mental or material, will be centersd here snd already the lesding politictans are ooncerntng themselves with watohing and shaping events; oven such as appear trivial to the underllogs The demo- cr.ts are somewhat hampered by the fact that the adminlstration has not allowed the elect to know in what direction 1t wlil throw its preferenco. The republicans are hop!ng to oatch or put Clevelsnd in s me such attitude as the previous ad- ministration assumed when 1t Interested iteolf with a candidate of its own In the shape ot Judge F.iger, and when the people rolled up a vote of 200,000 in pro test against federal Interference; but it ls not likely that with such politiclane as Secrotaries Manning and Whitney tho president will fall to profit by that ex- ample. Whichever way the president's favor goes, it will be manifested as shrewdly and privately as possible. Governor David B, Hill, the foromest candidate now before the public, has counted upon the support of the adminis- tratlon, relylrg upon his having been Mr. Cleveland’s lieutenant governor, and udon his having endeavored to defer to the precedents Mr, Cloveland established while in Aibany, He ls known to have teat at least one embassador to Wathing- ton, to endeavor to engage the adminls- tratlon’s enpport, butthe report when the mersvuger came back was that the clam of fable was not more cl ‘83 moathed than the administration. This is now followed by the aesertion In high demo- cratio circles that the governor has had a strong hint that the adminlstration meaus to see that Erastus Corning is nominated, and if possible olected asthe next governor. Those who make this as- sortion add that eince Governor Hill re- ceived this dismal news ho has since fol- lowed bls somewhat unlque views in vet ing two census bills, and in calling an extra sesslon of the legislature, In order to pose as a hero before his party, aund in order to put General Carr before the republ can party in the attitude of a martyr, Geaeral Oarr, the present secretary of state, wants to ba the republican nomi- nee for govercoz, The law pives him the fdent and his subordinates; *‘nation,” when mentioning the federa aem of the republic, and “national” In so many Pro- tean senses as would have made Jeffer ton wild. Those men ars unacqmainted with the debates and alms of the framers of the federal conetitation or mieconceive them. Tf they wero posied they would know that the framers avoided the words “‘nation” and ‘‘aatlonal” a d excladed them from the constitution; that they did #0 beoanss such words would lead to consolidation and cventually a strong despotlsm; and that they meant to leave each In a condition of sulf government, and 1o anlte them (nly o far as was nec oseary to thelr common deforss and wel fare. Henco tho framers established a foderal aginoy at Wathiogton, and de creed that the agents of the states shonld hold «flises temporarily and be subject to removal by tho states for ciuse. Rota- tion in office was a fundamental ides of feamers of the federal constituticn, and 1s the fundamental principlo of true democracy, and for that reascn ciyil ser vies is a wretched horery, or a grafilng of disenss on the body politics. The major- Ity of the people of the United States so desired reform and rotation In oflise that they repudated the brilliant ehief of the rapublicans Mr, Blsine, and had they thought that thers would be a mixtura of both parties in cilicial placee, they would never have votod for the democratio elec- tors, The reorgin'zition of the demo- cratle party s a thing of necessity, if demccraty would socure a viotory loss than four years houco, But the reform ehould begin with the so.callod leaders who ute centralzing and mieloading words, and, In fast, have centealizing pro- olivities. The should bo made to cense their work of demorsiization, or be left out in tho political cold. 1f olubs are formed in tho saveral s'ates to return to the habits of thonght and practices of the fathers of the repunlic, the sur-st way to reform is to begin at home Sand to the state logi-lature and fill all tho state offices with men who underst nd the pri clples of true democracy, and Washin, ton will snon foel Its influence. The great state of New York has an opportunity to take the lead in the Nevember election. o — NEWSPAPER OUTFITS. TO PUBLISHERS.
