Tk St. Paul & Duluth surveyors have passed Dunlap, Towa, on the air line road for Omaha. The track is liable to reach Omaha before our people wake up to the fact. Tne stutisticians who have been at work onthe world's supply of wheat have comne to the conclusion that there is a marked shortage in the crop of 1887. They prophesy an advance in price be- fore next spring, which everybody will be glad to see. FELIX ADLER, the learned leader of the Society of Ethical Culture in New York, delivered a lec- turc on the condemned anarchists last Sunday. While not in sympathy with them he thinks they should not be exe- cuted. The publ sentiment of the country is gradually coming to a similar conclusion. THE merchants and jobbers of Den- wor ave seriously considering n proposi- tion to take concerted action for sccur- ing reduced railrond rates. The Re- {;uhll‘('un suggests that they pool all Deir freight and ship over one road for @ few months. This is by no means a novel idea, but the trouble will be in Denver as it has been in Omaha, to get ell the jobbers to enter the anti-mon- opoly pool. Tne Michigan Salt association will close its works the 1st of December and keep them closed for-four months. The object #, of course, to reduce the sup- ply and advance the price. The pro- tective tariff on imported salt is 100 per cent. In other words, consumers are made to pay two prices for this necessity of life. 1tis difficult for the ordinary mind to understand how a high taviff in this instance does other than foster mo- nopoly at the expense of the people. TuE corner - stone of the railway bridge to be constructed across the Mis* pouri river at Nebraska City will be luid to-morrow, and the occasion is to be signalized by a big cclebration. At " tions to re the laying of the stone the Masonic ceromony will be observed, and there will be other interesting exercises, pmong them an address by Hon. J. Ster- ling Morton. Nebraska City is one of the most enterprising and prosperous communities®n the state, and the im- provement whose beginning will be celebrated to-morrow will be a valuable nddition to its material advantages. DAKOTA, Montana, Washington Ter- ritory and Utah have each a population Jurge ehough to entitle them to admis- Bion into the union as states. They are kept out by political machinations. Whis is an act of tyranny and a violation of the principle of self-government as great as those against which the found- ers of the republic fought. Every pophistical argument against admission 15 an insult to the people of those terri- tories. They should be admitted during the coming session of congress regard- Joss of the political complexion of their prospective senators and representa- tives. —— It 18 again reported from Washington that Mr. Randall is interesting himself fn the contest of Thobe for the seat of Mr. Carlisle. He is said to have been examining into the matter, and to have concluded that the contestant has a ptrong case. It is also intimated that he s disposed to make use of this matter #hould he deem it expedient in his own interests to doso. We have no doubt that the report misrepresents Randall, It is not apparent that he would guin mnything if Mr. Carlisle were unseated, and it is very likely he would lose if that result were accomplished with his help. We venture to say that he has mever expressed an,opinion on this con- test, and will have nothing to do with 1t except as shall become necessary in the discharge of his duty as a member of the house. Randall will have adifticult part to play in the next congress. Ile eannot afford to make any mistakes, and ft'would be. a very grave blunder to take any part in this contest. with o “muuifestation of hostility to Carlisle, The Bogus Regulators Unmasked. For the past six month the bogus rail- road commission, created at the behest of the railroad managers, has been mas- quernding before the people of Nebraska as the champion of the outraged patrons of the railroads. Bombastic letters were addressed to railroad managers com- manding them tostop their high-handed exactions and reduce their rates to the basis pevailing in Minnesota and Iowa. The refusal of the roads to comply with the mandate was followed by an appeal to the supreme court. Before the case had been reached by the court, however, the state board of transportation, as the bogus commission is now called, held a sjar chumber conference with the railroad managers. and agreed to drop their ap- peal. When this piece of jugglery be- came known to Attorney General Leese [ that officor indignantly repudiated the compuct ‘made between the railroads and the transportation board. He announced his determination to push the test case to a hearing, and have the supreme court interpret the law. Tho position originally taken by Judge Mason was that the present law liberally interpreted gives the state board power to declare what is a reas- onable rate, and thus gives the board power to regulate railroad tolls within the state and stop dis- crimination against localities or shippers. When the case was called up on Monday in the supreme court the railrond companies’ attorneys and the legal head of the commission tried their level best to get the case pigeon- holed. But Attorney General Leese stood in their path and entered an em- phatic protest against postponement. In this position he was sustained by the court. On behalf of the court Judge Maxwell overruled the demur- ver filed by the railroad attorneys, and annulled the star-chamber compact. The outcome will be watched with deep interest by the people of this state. For our part we never have expected any material relief from the railroad commission. When two men are in posi- »duce the earnings of tho roads by millions of dollars, it would be too much to expect them to withstand the corporate pressure. Now that the mask has boen dropped by the board of tramsportation the people wil} more than ever refuse to sanction any scheme that would delegate to a commission of three men the power to regulate railways, which the constitution conferred upon the legislature, o Attorney General Leese is to be com- mended for his fidelity and firmness. He has shown himself to be a man who cannot be bulldozed or improperly in- Auenced. Omaha Moving to the Front, The Cincinnati Price Current is the accepted authority on pork p the United State obtained with great care and are en- tirely trustworthy. In its last issue a stutement was given of the packing for sight months at all the principal points, and in this list Omaha occupies third place, with a credit of 550,000 hogs packed between March 1 and October 26. During the same period of last year the number packed was only 42,000 The wonderful progress of Omaha in this important industry challenges at- tention. Here is an increase in a year of over half a million hogs packed, while Kansas City has gained but little over one-fifth of this amount, and Chicago’s hog packing de- creased to an amount nearly equal to the combined increase of Omaha and Kansas City. This city packed in the last eight months more than half as many hogs as Kansas City and considerably more than one-fourth of the number packed at Chieago, whereas for the corresponding last year the former packed nearly twenty-three times as many hogs as Omaha and Chicago sixty times as many. This exceedingly gratifying exhibit contains an assurance of what may be ,was one of encouragement to these ad- vocates of peace among the nations. No one will be disposed to discourage the effort of these friends of universul peace. There are very few, doubtless, who would not approve the policy ‘of international arbitration for the settlement of disputes between nations. Tho motive of this policy is humane and beneficent. But those who look at the practical side of the question cannot fail to have some mis- givings regarding the immediate suc- coss of the scheme, as the.president evi- dently had when he remarked that “in the administration of government difficulty often arises in the attempt to carefully apply ideas which, in them- selves, challenge unqualified approval.” All existing facts show that the time is yet far off when *‘the lion and the lamb shall lie down together, and a little child shall lead them.” Certainly it can be said that the warlike spirit of past ages no longer exists among en- lightened people. Nations do not now regard war as their first duty. Am- bitious men who would gratify their de- sire for power and fume by involving their country in hostilities with other nations do not have the opportunities such men once had. There has been progress from that order of things which mado war the normal condition of states. Yet nearly every great nation still finds it necessary to keep itself prepared for war, maintaining mighty standing armies, great navies, and a thorough military system which it is the constant duty of the government to improve in fighting efficiency. There is certain reward in emolument and honors for the inventors of the most de- structive weapon, ven in this land of peace army and boards are study- ing the best means of providing a defense for our coasts, and we are experimenting with a weapon which is expected to be more destructive than any yet invented., All this demonstrates that mankind is still far removed from that condition which must be reached before any poli- cy for securing universal peace can be largely successful, Swords will be beaten into plowshares the world over only when human nature has undergone a most radical change, which it may take centuries yet to effect. Still the effort in the interest of peace should not be abandoned. A meritorious cause must not be neglected beeause the promise of success is not im- mediate. As to the question of inter: tional arbitration of disputes betw the United States and Great Rritain, it should r ¢ the most careful consid- eration, Judge Hancock, The mild protest which the BEE had entered against the nomination of A. U. Hancock for one of the judges of this district because of his comparative youth and inexperience has drawn from his partisans and strikers in Sarpy county a volley of personal nbuse und blackgardism at the editor of the BEE. The pith of these insulting flings was that because Sarpy county gave Camp- bell, the dummy senator, a large 1 y, and further because Hancock lives outside of Omaha he has no chanee with the B If this kind of hogwash will make votes for Mr. Hancock, intelli- gence and decency in Sarpy county must be at a very low ebb. Campbell’s majority in that county, procured as it was by criminal conspiracy, repeaters and fraudulent voting, has not in the least influenced the BEE’S position in this judicial contest. The fact that the Bee urged the republicans of this city who had the majority in the judi- cial convention not to monopolize the nominations disproves the charge of narrow-minded exclusiveness on the part of the BEE. But we do regard it as a picce of monumental cheek for a young man, whois outranked in ex- perience and ability by more than two hundred lawyers in the district, to try to force himself on the district bench, when such men as Wakeley, Groff and Doane are available. The mere fact that expected when the enlarged facilities for pucking now in progress here are completed. There is every reason to believe that within another year Omaha will more than double, perhaps treble, the number of hogs packed here during the past eight months, and it appears to be an entjrely safe prediction that by November, 1888, this city will hold the second place as & pork-packing center. Having attained the position why should it not continue to advance this industry until it reaches the first place? We can see no sound reason, but on the contrary there are very con- vincing rensons why it should and will doso. Certainly the commanding con- ditions which have raised this industry thirteen hundred per cent. in one year will not only be in full force in the fu- ture, but must enlarge and increase. No one can doubt this who will give a little careful investigation to the matter. Omaha is plainly destined to become the opolis of America, and the promise is that her attainment of that enviable position is not remote. In the Interest of Peace. The gentlemen who have come from England to promote the cause of inter- national arbitration, and who were on Monday presented to the president, are doubtless engaged in a worthy luboi ‘The name of the Hon. Lyon Playfair has, we believe, been for along time prominently identificd with the pro- posed policy of international arbitra- tion, and he therefore very properly heads the delegation to this country. He and his associntes have fhe support of one-third of the members of the house of commons and a considerable part of the people of all clusses. They appear to be especially desirous that & treaty shall be entered into between the United Kingdom and the United States requiring arbitration in all matters of controversy, both as o means of more certainly assuring the maintenance of peace be- tween the two countries and as an ex- ample to other uations. They believe the countenance of this policy by the United States would have great influ- ence, and hold out the promise that it might lead to the two great Anglo-Saxon nations being the peace-malkers of the world. The response of the president 0 the address of the delegation, while not indicating an enthusiustic interest, he lives in Papillion instead of Omaha has no bearing on his candidacy and should not in the least influence intelli- gent and conscientious citizens of Sarpy county. When Sarpy county presents a candidate who can get the endorsement of the district bar, Douglas county will support him as cordially asif he lived in Omaha. But aside from his lamentable lack of experience and ability Mr. Han- cock isnot as trustworthy as a man ought to be who aspires to the district bench. An aflidavit and vouchers have been placed in our possession which show that Mr. Hancock in certain cases, tried before himas county judge at Papillion, was guilty of conduct that would justify his impeachment and re- moval from the petty office which he holds. In fact, these documents show that Mr. Hancock’s practice is on a par with that of certain notorious justices of the peace with whom Omaha was afflicted some years ago. IT is authoritatively announced that Mr. Clinton A. Snowden and Mr. James J. West, proprietors of the Chi- cago Mail, have purchased the Chicago Times, paying for the entire property $1,260,000. These gentlemen are under- stood to represent a syndicate of which they are members, ‘and both will be actively engaged in the management of the Times aflter a date not yet definitely known, Mr. Snowden in the editorial and Mr. West in the business depart- ment. The change of proprietorship will undoubtedly be very much to the advantage of the journal which the late ‘Wilbur F. Storey made one of the most valuable newspaper properties in the country. Mr. Snowden has had an ex- tended hewspaper experience. He wasfor several years the confidential licutenant of Mr. Storey, was subsequently the publisher of the National Republican in Washington, and for about three years past has been identified with the Chi- cngo Muil. In all these connections he has shown first-rate ability, which will undoubtedly appear to better advanfage in the broader field which connection with the management of the Zimes will give. Personally ‘Mr. Snowden is a most,_ genial gentleman, whose friends arve legion. Mr. West is not so well known in journalistie circles, but in his brief connection with the profession has shown that he ‘made no mistake in se- lecting it. The Times is still one of. the great newspapers of the country, but there is room for improvement in its manners and epirit. This will doubtless be effected by the new man- agers. Tne Kearney Press hits the nail on the head when it says: *‘Republican- ism means the greatest good to the greatest number. It means that men of brains, honesty and integrity, and with patriotism in their hear®, will re- fuse to follow the lead of bummers and gamblers, and support men of morality, integrity and manhood. When any party sinks so low in morality that gam- blers are placed at its head, it is time honest men of that party should revolt and teach it a lesson.” This refers to the political contest in Buffalo county. It apphies with equal force to the judi- cial fight in this d THE young men’s political clubs that have recently sprung into existence in Omaha are made largely of played-out political barnacles who were voters more than twenty-five yearsago. These bald-headed eagles, ns George Irancis Train would eall them, want a roost high up among the political rafters and make cat’s-paws out of the reul young men.

An Emphatic Denial. WEsT POINT, Neb., Nov. 1.—To the Editor of the B¥ Your editorial in srday’s BEE charging that I joined Iroad ring, and instead of attend- ing to my official duties was in Lincoln all winter logrolling and lobby- s without the least foundation in fuct. Jtisnot true that I was at Lincoln nearly all winter, nor is it true that I logrolled in any matter. It isnot true that I neglected my ofticial dutics, but, to the contrary, there no term of court appointed to be held in - this dis- trict during any time that I was at Lin- coln. At the request of several of the judgesin this state I met with them at Lincoln, and discussed the redistrieting of the state into judicial districts, and at the requestofl the judicial committces of both houses of the legislature we met with them and there discussed the bill redistricting the state. I also drew a bill and handed it to a member of the legislature to be introduced, providing h rilpond companies should bring trains to a full stop before erossing any other line. Outside of these two bills T did not, while at Lincoln or any- where clse, discuss any bill or measure before the legislature, nor did I seck to influence any railroad leg lation or any other than that above stated. Instead of being at Lincoln nearly all winter, [ was there but a very short time.

A meeting of the New England club of Omaha was held at the bourd of education rooms lust evening, at which measures were adopted for the observance of December 22, “Forefathers’ day,” and unent organi- zation was effected.
