Tie bank clearings record for Omaha for the week just ended shows an in- crease of over ecighteen per cent as compared with the corresponding weck of last year. Both St. Paul and Minne- apolis show a slight decrease. It would seem {rom the clearings of Omaha and other western cities, however, that the movement of crops has not yet fully set in, as the totals are comparatively light. We ARE told that the social evil has been stamped out west of Tenth street by Chief Seavey. Which means, in reality, that the keepers and inmates of disorderly places in that part of town have been stampeded and seattered into other portions of the city, where polic surveillance is not as likely to hold them in check as they have been kept heretofore. This is & reform as isa reform. THE prompt action of Chairman Quay in offering large rewards for informa tion leading to the conviction of pe sons violating the registration laws in the city of New York may in a measure check the reckless disregard of the laws by democrats. Repeating will be & dangerous operation with lynx-eyed detectives scrutinizing every voter at the polls.

The time has not yet come in American pol- ities when ripe experience in public life and old age are to be treated with deri- sion and held up to public ridicule, Tie Russian government has decided to admit foreign grain sacks into Rus- sin without the paymentof duty in order to facilitate the exports of cereals in the ports of the Baltic and the Black sea. It remains to be scen whether this will have any apprecinble effect upon the American wheat trade. Considering that hitherto Russian wheat has been shipped in bulk for the sake of cheap- noss the appareut effect would be to in- crease the cost by increased handling. — THE latest reliable estimate of the corn crop of the leading corn producing states exceeds all previous calculations. Assuming that it is impossible to give an exact estimate, the present yield may be approximated near enough for all practical purposes. The total crop of 1888 is placed at over two million bush- els, which is nearly twice the yield as reported by the department of agricul- ture last year. Under ordinary cir- cumstances this enormous crop would more than supply the demand, and for thai reason fetch a low price. The fail- ure of the wheat supply of the world necessarily strengthens the demand for corn, and the farmers of Nebraska therofore van congratulate themselves on finding in the near future a resdy tanrket for their cor THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUE The Treasury and the Money Market, By the close of the present week it is expected that the national treasury will have provide by the purchuse of bonds, for the requirements of the sink- ing fund. Financial circles are c quently a good deal intercsted the q of what is likely the future course of the treasur it continue buying bonds, or abandon that po! in stion to be Will will it cy and allow the sur- plus to accumulate? The purchase of bonds ¢ince Aprit has amounted to not far from cighty million dollars, and the relief thus afforded the money market has been of very great im- portance to the business of the country. Tt is hardly guestionable that without it there would have been a very serious commercial depression. But the understanding been that the secretary of the treasury was not favor- able to continning the purchase of bonds beyond the sinking fund requirements, and these being met there is sorm i ety regarding the future. The New York Commercial Bulleting which is usually well informed, points out that while there is loss urgency now than last April for buying bouds by the treasury, owing to the fact that the circulation is' fifteen mil- lions greater now than then and the surplus less by an equal amount, still there is a present active demand for money which, so long as it lasts, will justify the treasury in continuing bond purchases. The view taken is, that while an adequate circulation through October insures plentiful money for several months following, it is incum- bent upon the treasury department to see that its hiberal disbursements are not stopped until the full demands have been fully met, and to maintain confi- dence that the means of reliet ave al- ways availuble in case the absorption of money into the public coffers becom at any time too great a drain upon tho circulating medium, This is obviously sound from the busi- ness point of view, and now that noth- ing is to be accomplished in the way of political effect by a change in the treas- ury policy, it would seem pretty safe to conclude that mo change will be made, and that the treasury will go on keep- ing the surplus down by the purchase of bonds, giving preference, perhaps, to those first falling due, the four-and- a-half per cent bonds. But should the secretary of the treasury decide todiscon- tinue bond purchases after the requ mentsof the sinking funds ave met, the indications are that the moncy market will be in a condition to easily meet all the demands of the autumnal and holi- day business. The country appears to beina v atisfactory shape finan- cially, and these 1s uothing in the im- mediate outlook to warrant the slightest apprehension A Far-Reaching Project. Theve is a resolution before the sen- ate committee on foreign relations, in- troduced by Scuator Jones of N da, ssting the president to negotiate ¢ y with England and Mexico for the exclusion of Chinese laborers from the North American continent, and also for the prevention of their entrance into the United States from the territories or dependencies of either country. It is well understood that howeve r rigidly the new exclusion law may be enforced it will not be possible to keep outall Chinamen who may seck to enter this country along the Canadian and Mexi: can frontier In order to do this it would be necessary to police these fron- tiers at every crossing point, and no- body has suggested or would approve of such an arrangement, A remed would, however, be found in treatic: with England and Mexico such as are proposed by Senator Jones, The question is whether such treaties could be negotiated. So far as I land is concerned there would prob- ably be no serious difficulty. The Cana- dian people are not favorable to Chin- ese immigration, and if the popular sentiment of the dominion should be consulted by the imperial government such a treaty asthiscountry requires would be readily negotiated. It would doubtless encounter opposition from the Canadian Pacific road, which is cultivating Chinese trade as a feeler, and their corporation is very strong. It can command the assistance of the best political and financialinfluence in the do- minion. As to Mexico, it is the declared policy of the present administration of that country to cultivate closer commer- cial relations with China, President Diaz, in his last message, stated that the Mexican minister at Washington had been instructed to treat with the rep- resentatives of the Chinese government located there and negotiate a treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation. Any such treaty would undoubted! body provisious allowing Chinese ers to enter Mexican ports at pleasur So that there is little peobability that Mexico would assent to such an arrange- ment as Senator Jones contemplate: It is obvious that without the treaties suggested the exclusion law can accom- plish its purpose only in pe If Ch aborers are brought into Canada and Mexico some of them will undoubt- find their w into the United As a matter of immediate in- it is reported from San ancisco, that a case hasalready arisen under the exclusion law which will lead to a decision respecting its constitution- ality. A vessel load of Chinese luborers arrived in that port Sunday, and of course were not permitted to land. Those interested in the landing of theso people announced their intention to test the law, and if the federal courts of San Francisco deny an application for habeas corpus, all of these people hav- ing certificates that would entitle them to land under the old law, the case will be carried to the supreme court. Has Suakim Falien ? The British goverument breaks bad foreign news to the public by an adroit system of graduated telegrams. Tt will be rememoered that the disaster of Hicks Pasha, the taking of Khartoum by the mahdi, and the fiasco of General Woolseley in the Soudan were tempered tothe shorn lambs of England in this way, and it begins to look as if there was some very bad news at Suakim which is being gently suggested by the home governmeuat. There have becn nese SDAY. OCTOBER 9. 1888 incomprehensible dispatches which sepmed written by some one ignorant of the situation in which the Berbers of the Soudan called rebels, and were deseribed as besioging Suakim in the regular methods of civilization. They a not and Eng- land held on to Suakim under pretense of preventing the slave teade. Suddenly there arrives from no less a personage than Monkhlar Pasha, of Constantinople, a telegram stating that Suakim must fall, and that tie sultan intends to take diplomatic action. This seems a forged dispateh, with no other object than to prepare the English public for the news that S kim has fallen,and that the English gar- rison has joined the Mahdi's prison in Khartoum, Suakim is but an insig- nificant pl but the repeated defeats of the English in the Soudan will tainly have its effect on the Musselmen of India, to say nothing of the Arabs, Persians and Afgans, and things look y for Engiand.

Itis not at all surprising that the efforts of Colonel Lamont and Secretary Whitney with him were un- iling, for the roason that Mr. Hew- is the very last man who do anything to play into the hands of Mr. Cleveland. He has had an ample experience of the president’s ingratitude, and he is not the sortof a man to mvite a repetition of such experience. Besides, he will do nothing which could have the ap- pearance of a bargain with or conces- sion to Tammany, which he has pub! ly denounced as a corrupt organization, bentonly on seizing the spoils. The determination of Mayor Hewitt to make the run greatly increases the interest- ing character of the political situation in New York. That he will get a vory large vote, if he shall not be elected, is not doubted. He has given the city a straightforward, honest, business-like administration, and while it is not pos- sible to commend all that he has done, it 18 unquestionable that none of his acts were prompted by other thau the best motives. He has the respect and confidence of the business community, and he will get the votes of many republican business men. But his attitude is of especial interest to re- publicans from the fact that it increases the complications and difliculties of the democ ¢ situation in New York, and thereby materially strengthens the re- publican chance; ing that state. Docrors differ as to the aisease which proved fatal to the famous astronomer, Prof. Proctor. The New York doctors declare that he died of yellow fever, and the Florida sons of Galen insist upon it that it was only malarial hemorrhage. To the uninitiated the latter malady sounds amazingly like yellow fever. There is no use in splitting straws 1 the hope to counvince the world of val- etudinarians who chase summer around the United States that Florida is a de- sirable place for winter residence. The valetudinarian is timid and selfish, or he would not bea valetudinarian, and he will never again be seen in Jack- sonville or Fernandina, but will wend his devious way to Los Angeles delightful anta Barba There he will have his orange groves basking in the sun in the monthsof Jan- uary and February, whilst blizzards are cavorting around the rest of his native land, and he will be as idle, and as use- less, and as self-indulgent, and self- pitying as he has been in the past. CHICAGO is about to have the same experience through which New York passed some years ago with its et railroads. In this instance as in the other the officials of the road precipi- tated a contest by arrogant and bump- bious conduct toward their men. Few, imdeed, are the cases upon record where men resorted to their last argument, a strike, without having the most serious causes of complaint. The main suffer- ors are invariably the publie, because locul systems of living arc necessavily based upon street railroad accommoda- tions, and when that is withdrawn hun- dreds, perhdps thousands,of individuals find a great gap between their homes and their places of business. Nor have state railroad commissioners been of any competence to arrange matters, for while the men are willing, the com- panies refused to accept their arbitra- tion or to obey their mandates. THE warmest poli center in the ntry at this time is probably San Francisco. The local contests in that city are always of a very lively ch acter, but this year’s battle appears to be exceptionaily heated wnd acrimoni- ous, if we may judge from the demand of some of the newspapers for the orga- nization of a vigilance committe No other city in the country, with the ex- ception, perhaps, of New York, has more political bosses than San Fran- cisco, and geunerally they are of the most desperate sort. It is a fight for supremacy among the hosses which is vesponsible for the political excitement just now prevailing in I'rancisco, and which has already been marked by the shedding of blood and by numerous instances of brutality. The people should rise in their might, vegardless of party, and overthrow all the bosses. How does it come that the superin- tendent of the poor farm is permitted to expend thousands of dollars of county funds every year without keeping a re- cord of his transactions and making an official report of every dollar expended. No other business institution would allow an employe to pay out large sums without enforcing a striot accountabil- ity. Isit not high time for the com- missioners to order the superintendent of the poor farm to open a set of books and report mouthly and quarterly what purchases he has made, the number and pay of employes on the county farm, the quantity' of supplies on hand, and disbursements made. WHeTHER the Union Pacific depot is built next year or ten years hence, tho mayor and council should take prompt steps to protect the lives of people who are compelled to cross the Tenth street tracks. The npproaches to the depot should be made safe ny cost. If this can be done only by buildinga viaduct on Tenth strect theh let it be built. The charter confers ample power upon the mayor and council to have viaducts built at the expense of the railronds over every street erossing that may be found dangerous to public safety. An opposition on the part of property own- ers to a vinduct on Tenth street should be overruled in the interest of the pub- lic. Tie legal profession in Towa has suc- cceded, after long waiting, in bringing about a reform in the matter of admit- ting applicants to practice. Sprigs of the law must study at least two yearf, and then pass an examination beforc the supreme court. If successful, the applicant is admitted to practice to all courts of the state.

" ———— It Will Seon Be Over. Laweoln C As October gently glides along, this great political dis cussion draws nearer to a close. The tariff problem until the 6th of Novem- ber and doubtless until the millenium, will be discussed with the same cheerfulness and vigor; the temperance question will still re- wain unsolved: the Chivese will coutinue to be the bane of the Mellican man's existence, and the world will swing merrily ou and on. But there will be alull soon. Perhaps two weeks will witness more excitement aud more intcrest than there s to-day; but two weeks from that time and then comes a calm for many moons. And itiswell. Those who are statesmen, and those who have discussed the issues, will fall back into the dull lines of other things.

Prior to my remarks on that occasion I sec- onded the motion making Mr. Hanna's nom. ination unanimous, and stated that I would support his nomination personally and with my paper, and that I had 1o words of censure for any of the rival candidates, who were from twenty to twenty-five years younger than myself, aud pnsxlhl‘)‘ more competent to represent the Forty-niuth district than I was, and to be thus mnlfgnml by such an infamous, Iying libel on humanity ismore thau any gentleman feels willing to bear without cor- rection in the columus of the same journal, It is hurdly just to compel men of honor and well-known citizens of a state, who are known to have too much sense to make such statemants as I am charged with, to go into the public press to deny the malignant and fiendish charges of such worthless vaga- bonds as “Veritas" must ba, Georee W, BrewsTer, A Hebrow School.
