Queer people those French- men. Tue Kansas City Drover’s Telegram fails to publish the Omaha markets or stock receipts. Since the Omaha stock- yards received more cattle and hogs than Kansas City for the past two months, and ranks third as the largest pork packing market in the country, Btockmen can judge for themselves of what commercial value the Drorer's Qelegram is to them. The policy of that paper is like biting off ones nose to spite his face. Tue location of several large Trust and Tnvestment companies in Omaha during the past month, in addition to the large number already here,is an indication that our city has become the leading money market of the state. It is moreover a sign of confidence in the growth and importance of Omahs s a pommercial centre. Through these Loan and Trust companies eastern capi tal flows into our y seeking for in- vestment. They are therefore the best barometer to poiut to in order to meas- ure Omuha's sound financial condition. Thie reported sale of the property on he northwest corner of Farnam and Sixteenth streets to the Commercinl National bank 890,000, forms an for something like idea of the value of real estate in Omuha. When it is re- membered that in 1885 the same lov fotehed only #30,000 in the mar- ket, and in 1887 was sold for $70,000, the rise is shown to be phenomenal, This is another index of the rapid growth and prosperity of Omiha. The prico just paid for that corner scems large just as in 1885 the purchase of it for 830,000 excited comment. Butthere is no fictitious value in the last deal, nor is it a speculative enterprise when such a conservative company as the Commercial National bank buys the prope for the erection of its own bank building. Tue Righth lowa congressional dis- trict, with a republican majority of over two thousand, is representod in the house of representatives by a democrat, This state of affairs was brought about by the renomination of W. P. Hepburn, whose record as a railroad tool ecaused hisdefeat by A. R. Anderson, The re- publicans of the district, however, are straining every nerve to redeem them- selves, and with a nominee who is with the people, and who honestly rep- resent them, they can win. Prominent among tho candidates for the nomina- tiou is J. B. Harsh editor of the Creston Gazette. Mr. Harsh was a member of the upper house of the last state legis- lature, and made an excellent record.

The democratic managers have already opened an assessment burcau and every officeholder may as well fork ovc It is announced that Ilinoisans holding positions in the departments at Wash- ington will be requived to contribute the sum of eight hundred dollavs month- 1y, which for the campaign will amount to the generous sum of four thousand dollars, Doubtless the rate of ment is the same on the oficeholders from all the st Sot is @ reuso able computation that the demc A will derive from this source a fund of at least one hundred thousand dollars. From the army of federal office-holders outside of Washington an equal amount, and possibly more, will be obtained. Herein is one very important advan- tage cnjoyed by the democratic man- agers. No ofliceholder can be com- pelled to contribute, and a refusal to do s0 should not work to his ofticial detri- ment. But it will not be necessary to urge any of them to contribute. On the contrary all of them will doubtless be most willing to do so, and some of them very likely will be found ready to give more thau their shave, by way of strengthening their positions. It may be dependod upon that there will be no refusals to put up, for every man will understand that notwithstanding the protecti ha law ha will he sure to jeopardize his official head if his con- tribution fails, This of course is not the ouly dependence of the demo- ic managers for the sinews of war. The chairman of the national committee can himself afford to contribute a quar- ter of a million, while there are other wealthy men who will endeavor to place the party under obligations to them by subscribing libe y to the campaign fund. Obviously, therve- fore, the democracy will not suffer for the money ned ordinary and extra ovding ciampwign, The republican fund must be devived \\hnH\ from pxl\ul( liberality, There that this will be suf- ficently generous to meotevery requ ment. The candidate for vice president is a free-handed man who ean be relied upon to contribute largely, and Lis do- ing sowill be entirely legitimate. A of other men more or less promi- nent in the councils of the party could be named who doubtloss will not be niggardly of their ample resources. v is very likely, also, that many of the wealth manufacturers will in a financial way manifest their interest in the republican canse. So that there is no reason to doubt that the republican party will have all the money it shall requive to carry on of the campaiyn, It is impossible to get anywhere near an accurate computation of the amount of money that will be expeuded in the presidential and congressional elections of this year. but it will reach several wmillion dollars, At all events it will be a great deal more than ought to he ex- pended, though perhaps the proper way to regard ivisas a partial compensation for the ill effect on business of a presi- dential contest. IERES score its side Miller an ' Hill. It appears to be regarded as a fore- gone couclusion that ex-Senator Warne Miller will be the republican candidato for governor of New York, und it is assumed that Governor Hill will secure a renomination. There is some unc tainty, however, regarding Hill's chaunces. In the first place, there is a question whether it is the wish of Mr. Cleveland that he shall be renominate The presi- dent has hoen assurcd by the wmug- wump element that it will not support Hill, and that if the democracy of New York again places him ip tion . the effect. will be damagin to thé mational ticket..

St CUTTING FREIGHT RATES. How Railroad npanies Manage to Evade Interstate Commerce Laws, A corvespondent of the New York Times who evidently knows a thing or two about railroad methods Protection de not alw; and the interstate commerce law will not wholly prevent old-fashioned pool- day’s cuts being made in freight between various points of the country. The railroads ave not going to sit qui- etly down and wait for business to come to them; they have been in the habit of “husiding,” and T am very much mis- taken in the sucf: indicatians if everything does not point 1o the same old methods for ¢ rolling business. It will be every road for itsclf, while out- wardly professing 1o be living up to the vew liw, and the —— comniission tale the hindmost in being found out. I have w friend who is in one of the L est 0s- tablishments in the country wed in a great western city which is the center of ad systems. His firm is cnormous shipper of freight, as its pr ducts go to every cornor of the globe, supplying not alone armies, but nations, prat Their contracts are u paratl Now the new law will force them (o pay as much per hundred as the man who may shiplone tierce of products like theirs: there must be no diserim- ination, e w must step in and collar and punish the railroad company which grants a favor. So what is the firm to do? [t ihust have special favors, and the road th can give it the best tos will natur of its businoss they do? Why, Iding two to 0y been 1 cpt & position 1n the freight Aepartment of several of the railroad ipunies whic h compete for this busi- ness.

How frequently do we moet foud mothers, who in the hot weather never think of giving the babo water to deink, ico water oven, What! lce water for an infant or child!

We do not take time to eat. Fifteen min- utes for dinner is peculinrly American. Ask an shman or German to eat his dinner in_fitteen minutes, and the shock produced by the demaud upon his sense of what is needed destroys his appetite. Then again our habits'as re 'ds the times and arrangements of our meals is an unnatural one.

The truth is, we are all wrong in'this respeet. ‘The eight hour law, as regards the time of labor is the right idea, if we will but take advan- tage of the privileges it offe To bo natural under our present surroundings we should work, play and rest cight hours each.

From the above we see that our for- mula is as follow: Attention and adap- tation of the individual to his surround- ings, geographical or seasonal position, oceupation, habits, preparation, manner and time of ingestions vaviety of action of mind and body and rest.
