CHARLES GIBSON, formerly so- licitor general under President Lincoln, is u good deal of astatesman, Hethinks that congress should appropriate a fair portion of the surplusin the treasury for public improvements in the west. Western lands and waterways ave neg- lected, principally, Mr. Gibson says, be- cause of the apathy of western repres sentatives. He advises these to stand up fearlessly and demand money for the west. This section of the country has bee inated against by congress long uluu;,h. NEXT week Atlanta will electa com- mon council which will have to fix a license tax, and the expectation is that it will be a heavy one. The sum of two thousand dollars has already beew talked of, and it may go higher. It is certain to be fixed high enough to keep out duggeries and regulate the better class of saloons. The successful advo- cates of the license system are not in favor gf any half-way measures. The bettor class of them fought for liconse as a sound, practical principle, and they desire that it shall be given a fair trial as & means of restricting and regulating the liquor traffic more effective than prohibition. With a license of two thousand dollars there is not a ques- tion that there will be fewer drink- ing places in Atlanta than existed under prohibition, and all of them will be known to the authoritiesand the whole publie, They will be carried on subject tothe law, and not in defiauce of it. The result cannot he a matter of doubt.

The Third District.

Now compare this vote for judge with that for di Out of the nggregate of 1 in the district, Wakel ceived 10,185, Groft, 9,427, Doune, 8, Estelle .

Ballou ran 3,550 votes behind Maxwell, In adis- trict over 1,500 republican Judge Walk ley's majority over Estelle is 4,248, over Ballou 4,709, while Judge Groff, who an independent candidate, reccived 3,510 majority over Estelle and 3.971 over Bailow, George W. Doune, who entered the race enly a few days before the election, has 2,894 maiority over telle and 3 majority over Ballou. The third judicial district has wit- nessed many political upheavals within the past ten years, but never such o clone. and 1.5 o supren Lamar on Land Graits. Secrctary Lamar's recital of ‘the his- tory of land grant transactions by which the corporations freely defrauded the government and the people. and by which thousands of actual scttlers have been subjected to hardships and impo- sitions, but repeats what has been many times told before and had become en- tirely familine to the people. Ttisin all respeets the most scanddilous chapter in the history of this government, show- ing as it does a wanton abuse of public trusts and a disregard of the public in- terests continued through years by the agents of the people. In the extent and wide-spread effects of the wrongs done under the land grant policy of the gov- crnment perhaps theve is not a parallel to be found in any other nation. While contributing little that is new to this dark record, Se Lamar has shown a proper appre- ciation of its character in continuing it. 1t is interesting to observe, however, that in performing this duty Mr. Lamar has taken advantage of thie opportunity to make a strong claim for himself in connection with the effort that has been made to reform the land policy and remedy some of the eyils that have grown up under it. He informs the country that shortly after he entered upon the duties of his office he became impressed with the fact that the public domain was being diverted from its legitimate purpose and converted to objects repug- nant to the entire theory on which the land system was based. The effect of this impression was to lead him to a most careful investign- tion and study of the history and law re- lating to land grants, and the inevita- ble inference is conveyed that as a re- sult there was instituted the policy of reform which perhaps more than any other has become the boast of the ad- ministration. It would appear from this that public nion has not been dealing justly with retary Lamar. The popular impres- on has been, derived from his numer- ous reversal of decisions unfavorable to the corporations, that the secretary cither had not carefully informed himself regarding the history and the law of land grants or was not seriously concerned about the division of the public domain from its legitimate purpose. It 18 not remembered to the creditof Mr. Lamar’s solicitude forreform that he furthered any action in that direction until after the letter of the president in the Guil- ford Miller case pointedly indicated to him what was desired and expected. Following this very explicit declaration of the views and wishes of the executive the secretary began to show a practical interest in the subject, and in due time the land grant corporations weve called upon to show cause why the withdrawal of indemnity lands in their behalf should not be revoked. There may be people capable of believing that Mr. Lamar would have taken this action if he had never received a suggestion on the subject from the president, but we think most people will doubt that he would have done any such thing. The issue which drew out the letter of the president was presented to his attention by Comm sioner Sparks, doubtless for the reason that he believed it would be unsafe to first take it to the secretary, and it did not vequire a very long time for Mr. Cleveland to determine what policy the law and justice demanded. It is to be presumed that up to this time the presi- dent had given very little more than a passing attention to the general subject yet he very promptly found a policy, while Mr. Lamar after two years’ study of the law and history of land grants was unable to formulate one, or at least did not do so. It is very questionable whether See- retary Lamar will be able to convince the present generation that he is en- titled to any great consideration in counection with the policy of land re- form, His assumption of special merit in that work, handed down among the public records of this time, may give him fame as a land reformer with pos- terity, but his attempt to pose in the role now is a failure. The record is heavily and unmistakably against him. — Nebraski Progress. The official canvass of the votes castat the late general election in this state affords a gratifying exhibit of Ne- braska's steady growth, The rapid stridesin the settlement and development of our state, which has placed us, in point of number ahead of all the New England stutes suve Mussachusetts, is not more easily shown than by the following figures: Twenty years ago, when Nebraska was admitted - into " the union, the popular THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY. vote aggrvegated less than 10,000, and the population was 50,000, - In 1870 the total vote reached 19,774, and the na- tional us gave Nebraska 122000 population. Nebrasks had doubled her population in thren years. When the present constitution was adopted in 1875 the total vote of the state was o fraction over N0 and the population 225,000, years later, in 1880, Nebraska's aggregate vote for governor was 80,345, a gain of 50,000 votes in five years. In 1884 there were cast for president 154,193 votes, while in 1886 136,787 votes were cast for governor. At the lnst election there were 150,632 v giving Nebraska a population of 7 an increase of 712,965 since her mission. w twenty yeurs Nebraska has never failed to double her population every five yeavss In fact she has more than doubled. That means that she has added 20 pev cent to her population ar. Computed at the ratio of five aud a half to the voter, the present population of Nebraska s 825,000 Our increase from 1870 to 1880 was 267 per cent—the largest inerease during that period of any state except Colorado. Based upon the figures from year to year giving the growth of the past eight years it is safe to say that Nebraska will show over one million population by the census of 1890, ad- This satisfuctory exhibit augurs well, Tt leaves neither doubt nor distrust in the mind< of our people concerning the future of this commonwealth. Commercial Union. Theve are indications that the sub- jeet of & commercial union with Canada and the states of South and Central Amcrica may command a considerabie share of the attention of congress at the coming session. The obvious fact that this country must extend its markets for its rapidly increasing productions has within tho past year or two taken a firmer hold upou the public mind than ever before, and there is a disposition that is not affected by party relations to find a practical and feasible policy by which the commerce of the country can be enlarged and new ‘channels found for our surplus products. There is unques- tionably & great field in which this country does not enjoy its share of trade that ought to be more carefully culti- vated than it ever has been, and the problem is simply as to the wisest method of doing this. It is understood that Mr. Butterworth will introduce his bill for commercial union with Canada at an early stage of the session, thus bringing the subject to public attention. It is interesting meanwhile to note that in Canada the question is now being widely discussed and that commercial union has a very strong support theve. Clubs to promote the policy are being formed in all the provinces, and the cause is winning favor with prominent politicians and business men. The bugbear of Eng- land’s displeasure, raised by the oppo- nents of commercial union, appears to be losing its infloence. There is a grow- ing feeling among the people that the matter is one to be decided wholly with reference to their own material interests, and nuot as the manu facturers of Manchester and Birming-- ham may desire. The policy is also be- lieved to have grown in favor in this country, though quite naturally less in- terest is felt in it here than there. This is but a part, and perhaps not the most important part, of what is pro- jected in behalf of commercial union with other countri C Townshend, of Illinois, says again introduce his bill providing for closer commercial relations between the United States and the republics of South America, Mexico and the empire of Brazil. 1In referring fo this subject M pwnshend remarked that a com- mevial union with Mexico and the South and Central American states ought not to find a single opponent among our people. We ' produce the very articles those countries need, and if they do not purchase from us they buy from our commercial rivals, Eng- land, France and Germany. This they are now doing to the almost entire ex- tent of their wants, the latest trust- worthy statistics showing that the United States gets only about ten per cent of the trade of the vast country south of it, amounting annually to be- tween $850,000,000 and $400,000,000. And this region, enormously rich in re- sources, is but in the beginning of its development, the possibilities of which it would be idle to attempt to estimate. Looking solely at the practical side of the question, the duty of the United Statesis plain. We must extend our com- mercial relations and enlarge our trade or put a check upon our productive capacity. The latter.alternative is un- worthy of a moment’s consideration. The destiny of the nation is to occupy the first place as a commercial power, and that position will be ultimately attained. Progress toward it, however, may be accelerated or retarded, and while this country halts or lags ln the eager race of competlllon her commers cial rivals are pressing forward and making more firm their hold upon what they have. Delay inereases the diffi- culties to be encountered and overcome, Commercial union that does not involve any ‘‘entangling alliances” forbidden by the traditional policy of the nation is commended by every practical con- sideration, and undoubtedly will be eventually established. — The Prohibition Strength. ‘The canvass of the official vote shows that prohibition is a waning star in Ne- braska. Although we have had the as- surance of its warmest and most earnest supporters that the returns would show an “alarming” increase in every dis- trict, a perusal of the figures showsade- cided decrease. H. W. Hardy, prohibition candidate for governor in 1886, received ‘8,175 votes. while J. F. Abbott, prohibition candidate for supreme judge in 1887 only received 7,859—a déerease of 816, Anid this decrease in face of the fact that there were 14,000 more votes cast -this year thanlast. When it is remembered that'in off yearsthose possessed of a political hobby generally give it loose | rein, it deserves to be remarked thnt | prohibition hag mude but - little - heau- way 8 against high license and local aption.

About a year and a half ago Casper Habig, an l-lnpln\ ofthe Union Pacific, was knocked off an engine in the Beatrice yards and seriously injured.

Habig was a fire- man, and in taking water from the tank at the north end of the yards, the pipe-chain broke and he was struck {Hb nend by tha falling pipe.
