The day is not far dis- tant when the Rocky mountain belt will ’upply the world with oil, The coustant ain on the petroleum wells of Ohio ’ud Pennsylvanin can not last many ‘;nru ‘he prospects, however, for yoming and Colorado are bright in- @leed. The fields nlready discovered de- mote that the supply from thewm cannot be exhausted in a century to come, The possible oil doposits are likewise found to be greater than lirst supposed. Ne- Braska and Kansas will share in the full developwent of the oil regions. With Ppipe lines to the principal ¢itivs of these tivo stitos, manufucturing enterprises will go hand in hand with their agri- pulinral tnterests, e et o o | 1 Not the least of the advantage to be expected from the election of a republi- can president and congress will acerue to the west and northwest in the exten- sion of statehood to existing territories which is certain to be done during the republican administration. The early admission of Dakota, probably as two states, can be regarded as certain, The republican party is fully committed against the injustice which has kept this tereitory from statehood since it has hada population entitling it to admission, and no member of the party is more strongly in favor of romedying this injustice promptly than General Harrison. The next congress will be ealled upon to consider this matter among the first that will demand its attention, unless it should happen that the demc 8 in the pres- ent congress recedoe from their dete mination to admit Dakota as one state, which they probably will not do. Wash- ington territony, also, is vendy for ad- mission, and will vary likely become a state at the same time with Dakota, a bill to admit Washington having been introduced in the senate at the last ses- Certainly before the term of the administration expires Montana 1l be prepared for admission, aud it sible, also, that within the s Wyoming may be the door of the with a demand to be sion. 0 W is quite poss next few y knocking at door of the union admitted. At all events new states, doubtless three in number, ave assured from the territories of Dakota and “Nashington during the republican administration, and their creation will inevitably give a great impetus to the growth and pros- perity of those sections. Both popula- tion and capital will be attracted to them, railroad enterprise will be en- cournged, new conters of population will be established and there will be progress along all the lines of develop- ment. When the people of these territorics are gi full coutrol of their internal affairs they will be enabled to do much for advancing the general welfare, which in their present condition they cannot do, and with self government their en- terprise will be very greatly stimulated. In the fruits of such eularged en theentire west and northwest will share, 50 that the promise of the admission of Dakota and Washington and Montana is of the greatest interest to the people of all this section. Nebraska is pe- culiarly concerned in the development of southern Dakota, and hardly to a less extent in the growth of Wyoming and Montana, and therefore the out- look favorable to the rapid future pro- gress of this tributary tevritory is peculiarly gratifying to the producers and merchants of Ne- braska. It means an enlarged market for both which must steadily increase in importance and value. ‘With the material benofits to be devived by the west and northwest from the change of administration will come u political gain to the party in power that will probably prolong its control of the government for many years. All the territories likely to be admitted during the next administra- tion are now republican, and their ad- mission may reasonably be expected to make their people more strongly in sympathy with republ principles and policy. It is therefore probable that four rs hence there will be cighteen or twenty additional republi- can electoral votes, giving a great ad- vantage to that party which its oppo- nents already foresee with undisguised apprehension. Thus the triumph of the republican party assures an in- crease of both prosperity and political power to the north and northwest, ren- dering these sections a still more po- tential force in the affairs of the na- tion. THE VOTE IN SOME CITIES. In the west and the northwest there is keen rivalry among the leading cities as to their respective populations, and some newspapers, in championing the cause of their locality, have shown the same recklessness as the average fisher- man when boasting of his catch. They have made statements that were sur- prising, and they have stuck to them with a pertinacity that in time ob- tained for them belief in those quarters where it would serve them most. Ob- viously the desire to appear more than ordinarily prosperous springs from the hope of attracting immigration. Of the two «classes of immi- grants that are pouring into New York, the agricultural and the laboring, the former almost without exception, comes either to the west or to the northwest. It is as beneficial as the other is obnoxious, for whilst the open gato to Buropean labor simply re- duces tho wages of American labovers, and takes away tho bread of many an American family, the advent of the ag- ricultural element among us builds up the territories and the states of the north and northwest, and gives to land an incredible increase in value, The more sottlers, the higher the value of the broad acres, and the greater the growth of vulues in city lots! A presidential election with reasonable certainty the real pop- ulation of these contestants. Thero is some effort to juggle with the returns by presenting in one table the vote of the entive county by precinets. It very seldom happens that the county vote and the city vote arc practically the same, though thisis the case in New York, and very nearly soin Chicago, which really covers Cook county. It has been found by experience that each voter in a full ballot represents from five to six persons, women and children and non-voters. Where the number of the latter is considerable asin San Franciseo and in New York, even six to one will hardly cover the case. In quiet inlund townsin New England it mey be doubted if five to one is not in excess of the truth, For our northwest- ern and western communities an aver~ age of five and one-half to one seems #s nearly aceurate as possible, We have taken the vote of some of the most con- spicuous cities in this section of the nited States, and have applied to tham this test, ne@ have obtained the following rasalt, brings out Vote, ,Estimated Population.

For the first time, we believe, in a long course of litigation, the Bell Tele- phone company has encountered an ad= verse decision, which carries withit the probability of more serious future con- sequences to that monopoly. In the su- preme court of the United States a de- sion was rendered on Monday favor- able to the government in the case of the United States against the Ame n Bell Telephone company, to the extent of sustaining the action brought by the government to impeach two patents is- sued to Bell and for deciding them ab- solutely null. The patents in question were issued in March, 1876, and in Janua 1877, the first covering the invention of the telephone and the second for improvements in the in- struments by which the voeal sounds are conveyed. The government brought a suit in equity in the United States court of Massachusetts, alleging that these patents were seeured by fraud. The il of the government charged that Bell knew when he filed an appli- cation for the first patent that he was not the first and original inventor, and that his untrue statements were a de- ception and fraud upon the government, but for which the patents would not have been 1ssued. The bill contained various citations showing wrongful in- tent on the part of the patentee. The telephone company demurrer, which was sustained by the circuit court, setting forth among other things that there was no power or authority in any per- son or party, or in any court, to bring such a suit nor to entertain the same, and in effect claiming that there was no way by which relief could be obtained from the company. The supreme court decided adversely on all the causes of the demurrer, and its opinion was especially full and clear regarding the proposition that the government had not the authority to bring the suit and was helpless to counteract the evil resulting from its having heen imposed upon. “The essence of the right of the United States to intertere in this case,” said the court, *‘is its obligation to protect public from the monopoly of the patent which is procured by fraud,” and in the opinion of the court the duty of the government, acting as the agent of the people in this case, to get a remedy for the fraud was so clear as not to need ar- gument. The decree of the circuiv court dismissing the bill of the govern- ment was reversed and the case re- manded with directions to overrule the demurrer, the defendants to have leave to plead or answer, or both, within a time to be fixed by the circuit court. filed a This check to the hitherto vie- torious carcer of the Bell tele- phone monopoly will not cause any regret to the general pub- lic. Tt gives the assurance that the Bell patents will now receive a more thor- ough judicial investigation than they have yet had, and as the case of the government has been most carefully and comprehensively made up a result is possible that will put an end to this ex- acting monopoly and enable merito rious inventors to obtain justice. The uni- form success of the Bell Telephone company in the courts had led the pub- lic to thinl that there was little hope of relief, and indeed there was none so long as the monopoly had to contend with individuals and could fight its bat- tles in Massachusetts. But with the government as an opponent the inflated and grasping corporation has encoun- tered a check that may presage defeat, and which the government will hail as at least giving promise of relief. FLOUNDERING IN WATER. The board of trade has endorsed the report of its committee in favor of a liberal appropriation for a deep-water harborin Texas. Those who attended the Denver convention and were inspired by the enthusiusm of tho , who were willing to cheer for flag aslong as they saw an ap- proprintion in sight, ave searcely to be blamod for being touched by the Texun fever. The members of the board who voted to endorse their report are laboring under the delusion that Omaha and Nebraska arve to be materially benefitted DLy this project, They have given the matier no serious thought from a business standpoint, and simply take it for granted that the products of this section will find their natural outletby the shortest routo to the seaboard, and thence to Liverpool. The laws ef com- merce, like the law of supply and de- mand, are reciprocal. The deep water harbor at Galveston or any other Texan port will never compete with New York, Boston and Baltimore, because the channels of trade always run to the great marts of com- merce, where those who have products to sell will find merchandise to buy. The difference of three or four hundred miles plays no pavt in toe in- terchange of commodities. The enormous tratfic between Chicago and New York, going both ways, en- ables the railrcads to carry freight the | eaper from the lakes to the Atlantie, a distance of over one thousand mil: than it ean be carried for half that ¢ tance between Kansas City and Galves- ton. Suppose m: grain and meat products were .‘3, ed to Liverpool by way of Galveston, what return cargo could the ship-owmorg and railroads se- cure from Liverpool #h Omaha? Would there be one cayl of merchandise coming from Galvesfon to Omaha for every hundred coglogds of grain and cattie going southward? Ifninety-nine carloads out of each one hundred that were shipped from Ne- braska to Galveston would come 'k empty, what chance is there for getting better rates for our products by ship- ping them to tho deep-water havbor in Texas? The promise that the deep-water har- bor would establish a great city in Texas that will be able to cope with New York and Boston is fallacious. The American metropolis commands billions of capital, and the merchauts of the west are compelled to trade where they can find the largest supply ot merchan- dise and the most liberal eredits, A change in the establishcd chan- nels of trade is, thevefore, utterly out of question. Galveston or the proposed port in Texas would doubtless profit by the deep harbor appropriations, and so would the contractors and lot-specula- tors, but the Omaha board of trade will beseveral hundred years older before its members will see any largo quanti- ties of our products exvorted by way of thedeep water harbor down in Texas, IF THE county republican committee had followed Tik Ber's advice and had taken legitimate measures to prevent frauds at the polls on clection day, there would be no necessity of con- testing seats in the legislature. Owing to the want of registration lists, the in- adequate preparations made to )I.’\ndlu the large vote cast, and the inexperi ence of the judgesand clerks of elec- tion, it will be next to impossible to sure sufficient proof of fraud. If i regularvities exist they affect whole pr cincts and the whole count.
