We are glad to know that Mr. Bechel sees the folly of further continuance of the dis- graceful controversy. THE citizens of Omaha have raised over $30,000 for the purpose of securing the national republican convention. Among the candidates for this prize Omuha now stands as good a chance as any. The city isas large as Chicago was when that city had its first national sonvention in 1860, Omaha is the wenter of the continent, and can accom- modate all who attend the convention. ATCHISON is in about the same fix as Omaha with regard to Missouri vive bridge accommodations. The existing bridge monopoly has had its own way for years, and the company which pro- ocured a charter from congress fora rival railroad and wagon bridge has up to this time failed to redeem its prom- ises. The iatest scheme is to transfor the bridge charter to the Rock Island woad. THE citizens of Rapid City have sent u representative to \W on to secure, if possible, the opening to settiors of the Sioux reservation. The erms on which it is proposed to do this are fo be “honorable and beneficial to the Indians and settle ike.” If a amodern treaty is carried out on that “basis, we shall have a vather novel ele- anont in our perennial Indian problem. —— A mEMBER of the Colombian legution at Washington says the Panama canal has cost over one hundred and fifty millions up to date.

The groat care Secretary Fairchild is taking in the preparation of his annual report warrants the expectation that it will be a model presentation of what should be the fiseal policy of the countr from the point of view of the adminis tration. It is hardly to be supposed, however, that it will excel the last report of Mr. Manning as a compre- liensive and learned discussion of the principal questions with which it must deal; and when it is remembered how slight and ineffective was the influence exerted by the laborious effort of Mr. Fairchild’s predecessor, the question is suggested whether the present secretar has not given himself a task that will be equally unproductive of results and dis- appointing to his hopes. Ver little has been learned the chara of Sac Faivchild’s report, but it is un- derstood that the tariff will receive the most extended attention, and that the whole subject of revenue will be trented ina thorough and practical way that will commend the viewsof the secretar to popular attention. It is a genera fault of these reports that the discussion of the matters considered is not in the way to induce the people to read them, or which can be read understanding! by the mass of the people, and thus great deal of their value is lost. If Secretary Fairchild shall make a de- purture from the generally abstruse method of his predecessors in discussing financial and cconomic questions he will have a much larger audience and exert amuch wider influence. Mr. Manning gave the silver question the leading place in his last report, but the present secre- ) ve far less attention to this subject. which is not at this time ur- gent, or at least less so than other ques- tions, Besides, the policy desired by the administration has been presented with ample clahoration, and it will be suflicient to veaffirm it. It is a policy with which the majority of the i not in sympathy, and nothing could be gained by an attempt to enforce it with further ument. There is pressing «cessity for radical changes in the ad- ministration of the customs service, and practical suggestions will bo made on this subject looking to modifications that will greatly simplify the service, reduce its cost to the government, obvi- ate the numerous litigations that arise under the complicated system in and result to the ad- e of hoth the importers and the rument. Jnder existing circumstances the forthcoming report of the secretavy of the treasury will be regarded with more than ordinary interest, but whether it is likely to exert more influence upon congress than the two that have pre- ceded it since the present admin istr tion came in is problematieal Not Out of Politic The railroads are not entirely out of polities in the state of Kansas. At least we should judge so from the following suggestive dispatch from the Kansas capital: The Rock Island people are supporting Hon. A. W. Smith for governor, and will probably be aided by the Santa Fe peopl Why should the Rock Tsland railroad have any interest in Mr. Smith, or what object has the Santa’ Fe in pool- ing with the Rock Island in his favor A corporation cannot vote. and when it happens to be a railroad its moral influ- ence would certainly have but little, if any, weight with the rank and file of Kansas voter: The citizens of all other of Kans: western states endeavored for yours to keep railroads out of politics. But railvoad managers persist in controlling conventions and legislatur We do not know anything about Mv. Smith, except that he i railroad candidate, and that fact ought to defeat his nomination.

Aslong as corporate monopoli can dictate our gov cnators and- ssmen and local legislators, popu- lf-government is a mere delusion. Will They D. There has been within a few daysa renewal of rumors from Washington about reading Mr. Randall out of the party and huwmiliating him if he will not co-operate 10 secure the passage of a tariff bill satisfactory to the majority of the democrats in congress. Certain journals, also, ave insisting that in the organization of the house it will be the duty of the speaker to put no one not in sympathy with the revenue policy of the administeation in a position to en- dangev the success of that policy, Dem- ie councils are said to be substanti- ully unanimous in the opiuion that the wings of the Penusylvania congressman must he clipped. Will the opponents of Randall dave attempt this? ~The parties in the uext* house of representatives will stand thus: Democrats 168, vepublicans 153, independents 4. The actual democratic majority is thus only eleven. In the last congress the follo ing of Randall against the motion to take up the Morrison bill was twenty- five. He will very likely have that number with him in the coming con- groess, and is said to count upon thirty. Less than half this number will enable him to exercise the veto power as to any action upon which the majority of the party in the house may determine. If ostracised and placed in the position of an enemy there cannot be the slightest dotibt that he would use this power, It is entirely plain that the democratic party in the house can carry out no policy as to the tariff without the assent, at least, of the faction of which Randall is the head. Indeed, it cannot organize the house without the assent and assistance of this faction, Unless, therefore, the ma- jority of the party wish to make ship- wreck of their administration of tlie house at the very outset of this import- ant congress they cannot adopt any policy the purpose of which will be to put an indiguity upon Mr. -Randall. They have not votes enough to do it. What Mr. Randall intends doing can those have as ocl be only conjectured. He has not dis< | method in the work there has: been a closed his purpose, and doubtless will not. It is his habit to keep hisown counsel and make known his position in action. But it is not to be doubted that he feels entirely secure, and is not giv- ing himself any trouble over the r ported plans to read bim out of the party or humiliate him by relegating him to some inferior committee, It is rather the majority that is troubled by the situation, and it isn't’ quite clear how it can find relie Reckless Financiering. The council keeps on ordering addi- tional lamp posts and five hydrants ro- gardless of the fact that thereisalready an overlap in the general fund and the fire hydrant expenses are in excess of all previous estimates, The most pe- culine feature of its reckless financier- ing is the fact that theve has been no settlement of the city’s gas bills for fully: two years. The gas company claims over $40,000 due, and its bills are piling up from month to month. Theve is evidently some design to let these claims aceumulate until they aggregate #60,000 or $70,000 and finally settle them by an issue of funding bonds. In that eventthe gns company will not only include in its bill thousands of dollars more than the city is legiti- mately linble for under a strict construe- tion of its contract, but also interest on the entive claim from the date when each month’s gas bill was pry The same reckless style of fi ing is manifest in the letting of grading contracts, which we are informed have created an enovmous overlap. The question is where will we land if this disregard of charter limitations is not checked? Tt strikes us that it is high time for the council to ¢ take an inventory of the eity's ave assets. A ttlement should be made with the gasand water company and or- ders for additional gas lamps and hy- drants should be restricted within the means at the disposal of the council to pay for them from month to month. Tne commissioner of Indian affairs suggests in his report, referving to the Indian territory, that the wild tribes west of the ninety-cighth meridian be removed cast of that line and the west- crn part of the te ¢ be given up to the whites. He says the vast surplus- age of land in the te v, much of it not surpassed in fertility and versatility of production, which ecan never be utilized by the Indians now within its borders nor by their descendants, must sooner or later be disposed of by con- gress some way or other,and he believes the course he recommends will be just to the Indians and protect them from irruptions. The Indian territory con- tains 64,222 square miles, an area nearly us large as the six New England states, and the total number of Indians in it only 76,000, giving 20 acres to every individual of the pop- ulation, or 2,600 acres for every family of five persons. It is clear that a large part of this great tervitory must con- tinue uel s0 long as the Ind alone remain in full possession since the plan of the commissionor would involve the removal of only 7,600 Indians from the portion of the terri- tory west of theninety-eighth meridian, the suggestion is worthy of sc ion by congress. I pressure of white population on the Tn- dian tervitory is increasing, and it is manifestly only a question of time when the government will no longer be able to restrain it. Tt might be well to an- ticipate by throwing a portion of the territory now sparsely populated by In- dians open to white settlement. SENATOR MCPHERSON of New Jersey, who will retire from publie life at the expiration of his present term, is very explicit in saying to the revenye re- formers in congress that they must not attempt to cut very deep into the tariff if they expect to retain New Jersey and Connecticut in the democratic column, and he can’t figure how a democratic president can be elected without these states. The senator favors dropping the tobacco tax and for the remainder of the reduction in revenue necessary tohe made taking off certain tariff duties the loss of which would not affcet the wages of labor. He announces that any tavify Dbill that might have the effect of reduc- ing the wages of workingmen he will oppose. This illustrates one of the very hard difficulties in the way of any extensive c¢hanges being made in the' tariff by the next congress, that will be of material velief to the people. ‘There is hardly a duty levied for which it can- not be cluimed that it gives some pro- tection to labor, and when democrats like Senator McPherson and Randall plant themselves on the proposition that no taviff bill that mightaffect the wages of labor will receive their support, they having the power to defeat such & meas- ure, it-is obvious that the chance of getting a rveasonable and just vevision of the tariff is almost hopels It is plain that if any- thing is done by the nest congress for reducing taxation very little will be taken from the tariff, and that little not in a direction to give velief to the great majority of the prople. OMANA necds a large first class fire- proof hotel, and the probability is that she will have itatan early day. The preliminary steps should be taken this winter. It will require six months to draw the plans, and at least two years to complete the building, so that at the ¢ outside we could not have the hotel until 1891, By that time Omaha will be able to support a million dollar hotel as well as the hotels that she now has. Suppose that either the Paxton. or Millard should burn down, what condi- tion would Omaha be in as to hotel ac- commodations? Such an accident is liable to oceur any day. We cannot afford to take such chances much longer, as the loss of either one of those hotels, at the present time, would be u greater calamity to Omaha than was the destruction f the Grand Central, T orgunization of the board of ehar- ities will assure systematic charitable work in Omaha, of which there is great need. The dispensation of charity in this city through existing organiza- tions has been liberal, but for ‘want of great deal of imposition practiced,while many worthy poor who have not urged their claims have snffered neglect. What 1s required is an organ- ization having n central office and the menns of investigating applications for aid as well as seeking out those requir- ing assistance. This the board of char- ities will provide, and in this most ne- and coppmendable work it should receive a ggugrous support. e e Tite St. Louis Giebe-Democrat wants to know if it isn't,"“aBout time tochunge the ancient policy of allowing mileage to congressmen at the rate of 20 cents per mile, when railroad fave is not one- fourth as much as that, and when, as a matter of fact, most of them do their traveling on free pusses?” It undoubt- edly is. And it might besuggested that there are several ancient policies con- cerning congressmen in need of radival changes. Yet, after all, a congressman should receive more than 35,000 a year for distributing gavden seeds and pub doces to his beloved constituents. THE Chicago board of trade has been quite prominent in collecting evidence upon which to indict bucket shop propri- etors. The latter class now propose to retalinte by an attempt to indiet the board for running a bucket shop under the guise of a board of trade stock ex- change. Tt would be just as consistent for the proprietor of a faro bank to ob- jeet to Sunday services on moral grounds as for a bucket shop man to say that a legitimate hoard of trade ve- sembled his thieving business.

Tt has the natural advantage of location, heing the central gateway between the east and the vast und growing empire of tho far west. Its enviroument insures future prosperity, but its coming greatness is being amazingly aided and hastened by the pluck and public spirit of its ¢ zens, and by their practical faith in the city they are building up. No other e¢ity of eqgnal siz with Omaha has any such extensive system of public improvements. It has two miles of horse and motor stre railways built or in process of buildin forty-two miles of puved and seventy- five miles of, graded streets; forty miles of sewers and eighty-five miles of water mains—fifteen miles of which have been laid the present yeur. Its « water plant cost $2,000,000, and for new munic- 1pal improvements during the past four years 000000 have been spent. Tts private building improvements for nine months of this year represent an outlay exceeding £8.000,000, and its jobbing trade for the year will aggregate $75,- asc of 830,000,000 over 86, These figures ave vepresentative (l.{ \ tending to prove ¢ especially in the dir ! They are quoted in_com- ation of the business vim of the people of Omaha; in proof of the truth that the way to build a gres y is to believe in itand to back your belief with your moncy; and also for the eake of a suggestion which will not be umiss in Milwaukee. i Omaha is growing proportionately much faster than Milwaukee, though it is is not more than one-third as large. She has few if any natural advantages (fortunate though she is in this regard) reater than those possessed by Milwau- kee; and her more rapid growth is due mainly if not exclusively to the wid awnke, restless public spivit among her business men which ig daunted by no undertaking, however formidable, that seems 10 be & good thing for the city to accomplish, A recent incident in Omaha illustrates how prompt and confident and united her business men are in the exercise of this public spirit: Tt was gested as a possibility that Omaha might get the coming national republican convention. Almost instantly it was resolved that a local fund be raised as a guarantee that the convention would be well enter- tained. Almost in the same breath also, it was decided that $25,000 ought to be given by such men as would give each $1,000 or upward. And the com- mittes | with lts subseription paper started out. The fifth man called upon was @ representa- tive democrat, John A. MeShane, He caved nothing whatever for the ve- ruhli an convention, but he caved much or Omaha and the prospective benefits to its local business interests, and he said: “‘Put me down for #2000, our Union Stock Yards company for $3,000 more.” And the committee did it and went on its way rejoicing; not particu- larly sarprised, however, for John A. McShane is a representative Omaha man, and that's the way all such things are done in Omaha. And that too, pri- marily, is why Omaha is growing to-day faster than any city in the land, ) Above everything else, the people are citizens of Omaha. They act promptly and generously, und they ull to- gether whenever anything for the busi- ness good of their home city is to be undertaken. Milwaukee s generous and public-spirited, and many timesand in many ways has proved it. But in promptiess of action for the local publi good and in the essential matter of Spulling together™in the accomplish- ment of such public good, she may study and imitate the example set by Omaha to her own great advantage. In our beautiful and prosperous and hooming eity **we have n good thing™ which any community in the country may well envy. And having a good thing, it should be a mission in life to believe that we have a good thing. and to act, aye, and on oceasion hoast also, us though we believed it. If Milwaukee were modest in - public and business sense strictly according to her mevit, she would be a great deal less modest than she is. ——— AN ORGANIZED C Birth of a Commendable and Worthy Society.
