PAur, Minn., is finding difficulty to raise funds for the building of an ice The carnival last year, from a financial point of view, was not entirely a success, and this evidently explains why the purse strings are now drawn so tightly. IN 1885 th e grand total of legislative appropriations was $1,678,790.19. In 1887 the legislature increased this al- ready burdensome tax to $2,722,896.86, over a miliion dollars increase in two years for identically the same state government, Titk president-cloct is evidently busy in preparing a draft of his message. He lins suspended his public receptions, and the wiso-acres about Indianapolis are nodding their heads significantly about the recommendations which Gen- eral Harrison will mak WIEN a governor writes to the county attorneys of his state, *‘should you at any time become satisfied that the law is being violated by any railroad com- pany doing business in your county, [ trust you will not fail to enter complaint before the grand jury with a view to se- cure an indictment,” it looks as if that governor intended to enforce the laws. And that is what makes Governor Tarrabee popular in Towa. OF, THE two hundred and eighty wholesale and retail liquor den s in this city, but two hundred and sixteen have applied for licenses within the time prescribed by law for doing busi ness beginning January 1, 1889, Ifall of these applications are granted by the license board, there will novertheless be a material falling off in the number of liquor venders. 1t now looks as if the revenues for the public schools from this source would be cut down fully fifty thousand dollars for the com- ing year. Pr rapid rate of increase in the tide of immigration to this country, which for nearly three yo <ept up its flow, has been checked, The returns for the close of the current year, will show an increase of about twelve thousand in the uumber of arrivals as compared with last year. But during the past fow wonths there has beon a percept- ible decline. It is highly probable that the influx for the early months of 1850 will show a still further falling off in comparison with the corresponding months of this and last year, It is undoubtedly true that the num- hor of failures of banlks and business houses in Nebraska during the past fow yoars has been pruxmlliumlluly less than those of any other state in the country. The nutional banks of tho state, especially, are noted for their gafe and conservative munagement. Nevertheless, the loose stato laws on banking have made it all too easy for men of small capital and men with dis- honest purposes to embark in the bank- ing business. The banking laws of the state cannot be revised too speedily for the protection of legitimate business and for the good nawe of the state. * THE CLOSING YEAR. The ygar 1888 will be memorable chiofly for its contributious to political history, both in the United States and her lands. In thiscountry the pres- idential campaign was one of the most notable 1n our history Conducted with great vigor, earnestness and tact, 1 on a higher controversial plane than vsual, it will long be remembered as a political contest of excoptional charncter. From its v inreturning the sepublican party to full control in the government there is expected to proceed most important conditions af- fecting both the material and political affairs of the nation. Political events in other parts of the world have also possessed great intercst. The death of the aged emperor of Geemany ind the succession of his invalid son Frederick threatened serious complica- tion D i the po f Eurene, and this menac s thought to be intensi- ficd when lerick died and his son William suceoeded to the impe le. The conduct of the prosent emperor thus far, how . has tended to quiet apprehiension, and although the situa- tion of Kuropean affaivs is still som: what strained, the danger of war ap- penrs to be much less than in the early part of the year. In France there has been more or less polit- ical commotion, but the friends of the republic have proved them- selves scrong enough to hold the nation firrly on the lines of a conservative policy and thwart the designs of those who would change or overturn the ex- isting order of things, In England the political events of the year have not been especially notable, or at least have had no great interest for the world at large. Looking to South- America, the most important fact in the year's secord is the triumph of the emancipation cause in Brazil, after a contest that had lasted many years. In our neighbor re- publie, Mexico, the re-clection of Pres- ident Dinz assures a continuance of the progross and prosperity of the country. and of the friendly relations that sub- sist between the United States and Mexico. Industr v and commercially the results of the year have not be S0 worable as were those of the provious year. Enterprise in nearly all depart- ments has been curtarled, labor has not found full employment, and in all countrics the crops were materially re- duced. The United States, however, suffered less than any other country, notwithstanding that in addition to natural causes producing dep: there was the drawback to business national political campaign involving question vespecting which most in- dustries are peculiarly sensitive. While the .product of our manu- facturing industries not in the aggregate been equal to that of the previous year, vailroad con- struction has been considerably less, the building industry has not been so active, the crops are short, and our ex- ]mll trade has declined, yet the country Ith doubtless in a ratio than any other, and is still In the van of prosperous and progressive nations. If the advance has not been so great as in some other years, in no department of human enterprise and activity has there beer alt, and there ¢ reason why the apeople of the ] tates should be gratified with the material results of the year and with the promise which the present sit- uation holds out. With an abund- ant supply of money in the country, our financial position among the uations unmmpaired, all lines of legitimate busi- ness on a sound and conservative basis, and with no disturbing political issues, certainly the conditions ave most favor- able and fully justify the expectation that the coming year will witness a marked enlargement of enterprise in all directions. In the necrology of the year promi- nent names in every department of lifo figur Thiscountry mourned the death of Sheridan, Chief Justice Waite and Roscoe Conkling as the most emi- nent of its dead, but there is a considerable list of others who left vacant places in their respectivo vocations that will not be en filled. In the number and extent of its calamities, natural and accidental, the experience of the year was perhaps not of exceptio The yellow fever epidemic in Florida claimod many victims, but its ravages have been ex sded. The inundations 1n China, b) which one hundred thousand lives were lost, was a calamity that has been varely paralleled. The great blizzavd that swept through the west and northwest in January was unusually disastrious to life. But except theso sufliciently terrible visitations there was no great and uncommon calamity to command the attention and sympa- thy of the world, On the whole the history made in 1888 contains much more to commend than to condemn or regret, so far at least as this country is concerned, and it will close with all the conditions fav- orable to continned progress and an en- lurged prosperity. THE INDIAN S OF THE SIOUX QUESTION. There is a fmnlngll\:\l the attitude of the Sioux Indians on the question of opening their lands as proposed by the Sioux bill in congress was not clearly sot forth by the Pratt commission. The goneral impression has been that the Indians were governed wholly by mer- cenary motives in their opposition to part with their lands and were incited to this counsel by the squaw moen and leading chief With commendable en- terprise the New York Herald hus re cently sent a representative tothe agen- , whose report throws considerablo light on the action of the Indiuns, Chief Gall, who was the most fearless cham- pion for the Indians during the Pratt negotiations, fairly repre- sents the views of the Indians, In speaking for himself, he pleads for his peeple, To the HMerald repre- sentative, he said: “My people will soon be like the white people. Tho Indian government is passing away and soon the chiefs will have uo power. The older men like myself can never be as the whites are. We know what is good for us too late.

It is to bo hoped that the party will not identify itself with any such unpatriotic and shortsighted policy. Losm o The Business Situation.
