It lool < if there was to be no shortage in grain or grass, lax. The hay crop isenormous. The ryc now heing cut is far above a . But the corn yet to come will discount all. And so the great law of compensation 1s being applied. While w clter in Omaha and grum- ble and growl at the thermometer, the corn stalks all over the state are climh- ing still higher up the scale in the song of coming prosperity. While the mer- chant in his shirtsleeves isfanning him- self and expressing his disapprobation at the clerk of the weather, the very cause of his discontent is prepaving for the storekeeper a good fall trade and cellent win business. or the The New Fort Omaba, Randall and Holman felt it to be their duty to amend the Fort Omaha bill in the house on Saturday, and the measure returns to the senate with limitations us to cost and location, which are not likely to be approved by that body. The suggestion that the cost of the site shall not exceed one- third of the entire appropriation and that the appropriation shall not be more than $200,000 fora ten company post is absurd. It is absurd because a permancut ten company post cannot be constructed for any such sum, quite irre- spective of the cost of site. The first appropriation for the ten company mi tary post at Highwood, near Chicago, was 300,000, with the entire sito furn- ished free gratis by the people of Chicago. General Sheridan iu an ex- tended interview with the editor of Tiue BEE last winter at Washington, insisted that 640 acres would be neces- sary for a military reservation for the mnew post, and stated that large expenditures would be needed to make it what it was intended to be, one of the substantial and enduring ‘rmanent posts along the r between Fort Snelling 1d Fort Leavenworth. The inability of the government to sceure needed accommodations at the present site and the desire of the war department to build a new and modern post equal to all the demand of the great trans-Missouri country were the arguments which induced General Sheridan to demand a removal, Unless the amendments of the limit the cost to a sum above th amount received from the sale of the old grounds and buildings, thi hould be non-concurred in by the senate. No site and buildings ¢ be purchased and erected for such sum as that ned. house any A Groundless Scare, Our Washington disputehes announce the receipt of numerous petitions from citizens of Sioux and Dawes counties, in this state, pr ting against the temporary lessening of the garrisons at Ports Robinson and Niobrara in view of a threatened Indian outbreak on the northern frontier. We de net imagine that there is much danger to be apprehended. The fron- tiersman is apt to give too much cre dence to idle rumors and there are al- enough lazy vagabonds hanging around Indian reservations who make a profitable living by playing on the fears of the settlers, So far as Tur BEE has been able to learn there are no evi- dences of unusual restlessness at cither Rosebud or Pine Ridge agency. The steps towards obtaining signatures to the Sioux reservation treaty have not been initinted and arve not likely to be for some time to come. The president has not yet appointed the commissione Still, for all this, it would not be wise to leuve the frontier unprotected even during the mouth of the summer cn- it Kearney., We do not ap- prehiend that this will be done. Gen- eral Brooke may be con fidently countod upon to see to it that a sufficient garri- son will be left at cach post to give vance of safety to the country, whi rapid rail communication with Kearney could throw the whole camp to the pont of danger within twelve hours from the tivst call for reinforcements, A Mugwump Objection. Lverything relating to the politieal situation in New York at thistime is of general interest. There is strong prob- ability that the democratic dilemma in that state will be troublesome to the party, and inthe degree thut this may be s0.the republican course will be helped. Hill the factor in the situation whe is muking difficulty. e is the one con- uous democerat whom the m cannot swallow. From first to last this leavering force in New York politics has been hostile to the governor, who most ardeutly desives - a re- nomination, and all of its influence is now being exerted to prevent the at- tainment of his ambition. As we have hervetofore said, this influence is not without effect with the administration, and the supremely important guestion is, what action will Mr. Cloveland take, or direct to be taken, regarding Hill, for it must al s be horne in mind that the desive of Cleveland will be paramount to all other consideras tions. We gwumps d a few days ago that Hill had played the part of a dem- ugogue with regard to - certain important matters of legislation, in order to gratify a large element of the New York democrae One of these matters was the bill passed by the leg- islature to reform the ballot, which the governor vetoed. The purpose of this measure was to prevent frauds on the ballot and to secure fair elections. Had it become law its effect undoubtedly would have been to materially reduce the democratic mujorities in Now York nverted by the | and Brooklyn. The world knows that without these majorities the democracy of the Empire State would be hopeless, and it is also known that in cnses out of ten these majoritiesare the result of fraud. Governor Hill declined to pe mit such an interposition of legislation as would do away with this wrong upon the whole people. Therefore a mug- wump organ say “All democrats who sincerely desire the re-clection of President Cleveland should exert theiv influence to prevent the renomination of David B. Hill for governor. The vetoer of the baliot reform bill should not be permitted to handicap Grover Cleveland and Allen G, Thurman in the doubtful state of New York. The democrats ought to speak out so plainly as to kill for all time to come the political aspirations of that unwor- thy public servant, Governor Hill.” But wherefore should this action of vernor Hill hostile to ballot reform be repudiated by the New York de- mocracy, and why should it handicap Cleveland and Thurman, except as to such of the mugwumps as have the hon- esty to admit that it is entively in keep- ing with democratic precedent and policy? Why should the demoeracy of New York throw Hill overboard for having taken a course entirely consist- ent with democeratic practice ever, where? Dallot reform is. just what demoerats do not want, and Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Thurman are quite as much in sympathy with the party in this matter is Governor Hill. Given ballot reform, and the democratic party would be in the mi- nority in quite half the states that are now counted as solid for that political organization. Tt would have a vepre- sentation in congress at least one-thirvd less than it now has. It would not now be in control of the executive branch of the government. ' Nothing could he more disastrous to democracy than bal- lot reform, und undoubtedly Governor Hill was prompted by this conviction when he vetoed the bill to reform the ballot, We do not question that the governor ought to be defeated for his action in this matter, but we greatly doubt whether the democracy of New York, or the administration inlluence that will be potent in determining the ques- tion of his renomination,will be largely controlled by this consideration. There are other features of the political situa- tion in New York that will have greate weight in deciding whether Hill will again be the democratic candidate for governor. Meanwhile the mugwump objections are worthy of attention symptoms by which to diagnose the democratic ease in the pivotal state. stockholders of the Kansas & ailroad, who appealed to the courts in order to save their road from Jay Gould, have weakened. Instead of asking for a receiver they have come to the conclusion thata crumb is better than no loaf at all. For that reason they have compromised with M. Gould allowing him to operate itasa part of the Missouri Pacific system This places the road in about the same vosition as before, with this ditfference, that Jay Gould has tightened his grip on it.

At the Seward street M. E. chiurch last evening Rev. Charles W, Savidgo chose for his subject “Usury.” Mr. Savidge said: Deuteronomy xxiil, 19—“Thou. shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother." Proverbs xxii, 37— thou hast nothing to pay, why should Le take away thy bed from under thee My subject this evening is “Usury."” Many a_sin grows out of the getting and spending of money. The term usury was origmally cquivalent to interest. Interest is the coui- pensation paid for the use of mone, lie meaning of this word usury is now restricted to illegal interest, That is, the payment of a higher rate than that established by law. In former times mouey was borrowed cliefly to be spent on immediate wants, and to tuke interest in such a case was regarded as taking advantage of a man’s necessity. Accordingly the business of money lend- ing came into bad repute. The ban of socicty wus upon those engaged in it and they felt that they were driven to de- mand exorbitant rates as an offset to the odium under which they lived. The taking of unlawful interest is a very common sin in our midst to-day. Debt is all the fashion now. Aceording to the report of the state board of agriculture for the year 1356, thrc fourths of the farms of the state of 1llinois were mortgaged. At our county court house in the city of Omaha there were 900 chattel mortgages flled during the month of June, 1555, In this state if you make no contract you must pay 7 per cent for money and you can contract for 10 according to | But many people who ure members of our churches, who are our friends and neichbors, are paying destructive rates of iterest.

For it is now as it was in the days of the ancient Jows—the taking advantage of men's neces- sities. Look for @& wmoment at the causc of this sort of _oporesssion. “There is oftimes, on the part of the money loaner, an msatiable greed for money. How true that seripture, **He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver.” The thirst for money will make the Lieart as hard as the coin the miser handles. And on the part of the borrower there is much to censure. He lives in the future instead of the present.
