And now the cigy on the Kaw sits in ashes and sackeloth. house, over THAT part of the governor’s message which relates to the Omaha police and _firo commission should be rend by every citizen of our cit; It commends itself. IT WoULD be well if the rule which Governor Thayer has laid down for himself in making a selection of proper officials would be followed by the author- fties of Omaha. _ ArrnouaH five-sixths of the people of Dakota are in favor of division and ad- mission of the territory as two states, othe other sixth is making considerable trouble in opposing the majority. WHiLE the territories are making strenuous efforts to come into the union, the strange spectacle is witnessed of the gentile population of Utah unanimously protesting against statehood for that ter- ritory. THE legislature cannot act too promptly in following out the recom- mendation of Governor Thayer in pa; ingastringent registration law. Omaha has suffered already too long from the abuses of lax election laws. THE government has at last taken motion against the timber robbers of the Northern Pacific railroad, who for years have despoiled the public domain of illions of dollars worth of timber., It s more than probable that the North- ern Pacific will be made to disgorge. GOVERNOR LARRABEE went out of his way as o guest of the state to advise the Nebraska logislature to enact pro- hibition, It is related in one of Alsop’s famous fables that a fox who once lost his tail in a trap advised all the other foxes to cut their tails off short. EX-GENERAL MANAGER CALLAWAY, of the Union Pacific, backs up President Charles Francis Adams’ statement to fhe effect that railroad management has sunk to a low state of morals., Un- doubtedly Mr. Callaway could give in- foresting remeniscences to the point if ho would, THE reduction of the national debt for thesix months of the fiscal year ending in Pecember wasabout thirty-one millions five hundred thousand dollars. If this average is maintained to the close of the flscal year, June 30, the debt reduc- tlon will fall short of the estimate of Becretary Fairchild, who computed the reduction at over one hundrgd millions. Toe state of Missouri isinan enviable eondition financially, and her people are not burdened by any such tax levy #8 that in Nobraska. The facts shown fn the annual message of the governor of Missouri relating to state expendir gures indicute careful and economical management, and the governor says that with the increase in the next gen- eral assessment the taxlevy can be further reduced, The effect of this wise and prudent policy in the administra- tion of the state government of Missouri has been greatly to ‘the advantage of _ the material prosperity of that state. 4 emem— . .

FLECTORAL REFORM. overnor Thayer devoted the graater part of his inaugural address to the subject of freeing the ballot from all corrupting influences. e appears to feel very earnestly that there is urgent necesdity for drastic le cure and maintain the purity of the bal lot, and he makes plain the for giving such prominence this matter in his inaugural wh he states that in the late political cam- paign a degr which rislation to se reason 10 1 Nebraska there was develope: of venality and c ption was astounding would snid the Y the Dbold scheme of buying m," though planned the whole s rupt the nt county. The attempted capt state by wholesale pollution of the eluc tive franchise boldest thoe most das schemo of | as was ite, for money to ¢ voters into cvery was 8 re of this and troal ¢ mpted in this 1s th ruption ever atte land.” Thisisa very g which it is preswmed the would not make without the most trust- worthy information. [f it true it certainly argument that does not require any rhetorical bolster- ing in favor of chang clection lnws as will render its repeti- tion impossible, Tvery citizen v nizes the great importance of a pure and honest ballot, and if it has been demonstrated that existing laws are not sufficient ire such a batlot, the duty of the legislature1sobvious, Am- pler safoguards and severer penalties must be provided. It is well to remark that the question of electoral reform, with 1o guarding against the corraption of the ballot, “is not confined to Nebraska. The evil to be removed is widespread, practically national in its extent. The messages of governors so far submitied all vefer to it and assign the subject a place of first importance among the questionsdemanding the attention of the logislatures. Electoral corruption in all its forms appears to have been prac- ticed as freely in democratic Missouri as in rvepublican Nebraska, and the governor of the former state as earn- estly as the executive of the latter calls upon the legislature to provide a cure for the evil. Tt is not guestioned that there was more or less corruption in all of the states, and in some of them a great deal more than in this state, showing a general want of adequate laws for sccuring and maintaining o pure ballot. Such a state of affairs deniably pregnant with danger to our political system. There could be no more serious menace to popular govern- ment, and patriotic men of all parties should unite in an endeavor to remove the evil. There appears to be a quite general purpose to effect needed reforms. Massachusetts has a law that will go mto effect next year from which the most satisfactory results are expected. The election reform bill which passed the New York legislature at its last ses- sion, and was vetoed by the governor, has been again introduced in an amended form, while in other states this matter being discussed with re- form 10 view. It cannot very well be ignored by the legislature of Nebraska after the presentation of the subject which the governor has made. Grant- ing that corruption was not so flagrant and widespread in this state as alleged, it was still demonstrated that the laws are inadequate for the prevention of corruption, and must therefore be made stronger. In the movement that is tak- ing place for electoral reform and the purification of the ballot Nebraska should be found in full and earnest sym- pathy. wost ve charg governc presents an such es in the to sac reforonce s un- OMAHA AND SIOUX CITY. Omaha has a great deal to learn from some of her pop ulous but more act- ive neighboring cities in the Missouri valley. She has accomplished wonders in the past ten years, but she lacksa continuity of éffort and singleness of purpose. She has a board of trade, her clubs, her manufacturing bureau and jobbers association, but there is a lack of concord, co-operation and public spirit, without which oreat strides in any direction cannot be de successfully. By agitating a paper railroad scheme between Sioux City and Ogden the business men of Sioux City have sue- ceeded in convineing the Union 17 o rond that it is toits interest to give Sioux City a direct connection with its main line by way of Norfolk. This shows what bluster will sccomplish when it is kept up persistently by a community that is in perfeet accord on all vital questions. But Sioux City is not content with resting on her lauvels. She is still looking for more kingdoms to conquer. The following extract from an editorial leader thatappeared in the Sioux City Journal Thursday morning is suggest- ive. Itcan be profitably emulated by the business men and ecapitalists of Omaha, if they would only drop their personal differences and unite for the common good: Sloux City men have the reputation of “pulling together” in enterprisc for the common good, and deservedly so. Wonders have been wrought in this way. Nearly ail the great things accomplished here in recent years have beon secured by generous co operation, and in no city of the west is the spirit of co-operation more prominent than in Sioux City. . A et NI g gty It is a matter of marvel thatout of its spontaneous strength and haphazard combi- nation Sioux City bas been able to accom- plish such great things in 1ts own interest. 1f the object has been to secure a new line of railroad, to press for the building of a bridge, or to vote & tax or raise a subscrip- tion for any purpose . which seemed to be of paramount importauce, the cit- izens of Sioux City have in each case improvised such agencics as were necessary. They have organized, if that tprm be permissible, with a view to the prosent issue, and then waited till another occasion presented itself, when the same process was repoated. So far this policy has been suc cessful—sucoessful to an extraordinary de gree. It has been 8o mainly bocause of the extraordinavy generosity and public spirit of the business men of the place. Their public spirit has been so abiding avd so patriotic as 10 be asubstitute toa large extent for or- ganization, 8 higterg Rhaoh gty gty ‘Theére are great things in the future for Sioux QCity. Nobody doubts that. There JANUARY 5, 1889, are also great emorgencics to be met. This is inevitable if Sioux City is to be a great city. The means of controlling the vast em pire of tributary territory, although it natur ally belones to Sioux City, must yet be sup plied with a strong band and by ~extraordin ary exertion. Allthe strength that Sioux City has must be put forth to control this desting Let us org Tik Chicago pork packers ing th hou on western are pay- new rates on hogs and packing products, which went i Tect ailvonds January hey intend { unjust intor-state to ¢ 1, under 1 their protest. to In discrimination be- and Missouri river points ns The Chicago packers that they can buy and bring into that city the product of grievanc fore «the commission 1 1s favor claim that tho railr nst Chicago. ag claim Missouri river pay for live ir protection king houses on the at about the same pr hogs, They demand forth that the railronds make such rates will keep these packers out of their market. This would be eminently un- just. The truth of the matter is, Chi- pork packing industry is be the symptoms of decay. Just as pork pucking went westward from Cin- leaving Chicago for more favored localities. In a nutshell, Omaha and Kansas City have natoral advantages in this particular industry over Chicago which that city 1s vainly trying to neutralize by demanding that railrc le in its favor on packing hou e the as cago rin- ning to feel cinuati, itis now d rates he T product SOMEBODY scems to have imposed on Governor Thayer’s credulity by paint- ing a lurid picture of a nest of wild- eyed anarchists in Omaha who are only Kept 1 subjection by wholesome foar of the law. Whether there are people here of such bloodthirsty tendencies as the governor imagines they have cer tainly behaved as law-nbiding citizens. They have not takenadvantage of labor disturbances in the past to create dis- order and inflame the passions of their followers. They have never given trouble to the local authorities, and have shown no indication of making war on society or property. To support an expensive militia organization for the purpose of watching the Omaha anarchists would therefore scem the height of absurdity. Tie whisky trust has not yet been able to crush out all competition. A few large distillers who refused at fivst to enter the trust still hold out, and other competition has been created. The last move of the trust was a redue- tion in price of nearly ten per cent, which went into effect on the first of this month. This has been met by its competitors, and as the trust people propose to make a test of financial strength, it is expected that there will soon be another cut in the price. The contest promises to be vigorous and prolonged, and the life of the trust de- pends upon whether it can vanquish the competition. So far as the people are concerned, they have little to gain or lose cither way. ON the certificates thus far issued to members-elect of the next house of rep- resentatives the republicans will have a majortty of four. Decision in the case of the remaining two distriets of West Virginiahas not been reached, but it is thought probable that one of these will be given to the republicans. In any event the republican majority in the next house will afford a very narvow margin for careying through any dis- tinetive measure of party policy, but it will be sufficient to secure the organi- zation. Perhaps the close political di- vision of the house may prove to bo an advantage to the country. It may con- duce to greater care in legislation. TrE banking laws of all the western states could doubtless be improved. There is nowhere such restrictions upon Roing into the business of banking a areuecessary to the security of the peo- ple against dishonest men, and the pro- visions generally for the protection of depositors are not adequate, Not only should the states require security from private bankers suflicient to make de- positors comparatively safe, but the banics should be subjected to inspectio n t twice a year, at the direction of ate treasurer or auditor. Banks are necessary and men who desire 1o go into the business will not object to all proper regulation i they intend to be Lonest. SDISHONEST and corrupt men,” said Governor Thayer in his inaugural ad- dress, “taking advantago of the indif- ference of the hetter class to the impor- tance of elections, manage to secure the seloction of delegates who will be fit instruments in executing nefarious schemes. In large cities public im- provements arc always being made and contracts to be let. Then it is that councili and contractors often com- bine to rob the honest constituents.” Did the governor hold Omaha in his mind’s eye when he wrote these words? Tue removal of the ent western business of the Richardson Drug com- pany to Omaha, due to the loss of the parent house av St. Louis by five, isa recognition of the advantages of Omaha as a distributinggpoint, The Richard- son Drug compay is one of the largest and most consorvative wholesale houses of its kind in the country, and its action in making Omaha its headquarters will go far in drawing attention of leading mercantile establishments to the supo- riority of our city as a wholesale centor. THERE is plenty of money in the New York City banks. Over four hundred millions ave on deposit, which is an ex- cess of forty millions as compared with last year. Nevertheless the banks have extended thelr loans thirty-three mil- lious, an increase of ten per centin their volume of business. As New York is the barometer of the money market of the country, it would indicate a healthful condition of financee through the country. AnzAM HEWITT has regived from the office of mayor of New York. Despite his gruffness and peculiarities, he was undoubtedly the most fearless and hun- est oxecutive that the empire city has known for many a year.

To put Tue BeE into all the B. & M. towns from Omaha to McCook, several hours earlier than the ordinary time, is an undertaking that will be appreciated by everybody.

It is an expensive enterprise, but will prove a paging one, we think. Springfield Monitor: Tur Oxana Bee has inaugurated a scheme of ruuning an early morning s own from Omaha to the southwest, thus insuring the delivery of Tur Datny BEg from two to twenty-four hours earlier than heretofore. By this plan Tnr Bre will reach Lincoln at 7 a. m., which will be several hours earlier than other Omaha papers, and will cause a big demand for that paper during the session of the legislatur, Beatrice Democrat: By special arrange- ment Tue Omana Bee will be received here at 8:45a. m.,, or nearly four hours earlier than before.

Such enterprise should be appre- ciated by its readers.

The particular means by which this result was attained shows that” Tur Ber in- tends to become the deily of the west, r gardless. A speciul train has been chartered to leave Omana at 4:30 a. m. for Plattsmouth, where it will make close connection with the Burlington Flye: By this means the patrons of the paper will be enabled to wet news in the nforning, as of yore, *an® the “poor old Journal” wiil again be compelled 1o wrestle with the thorns of life, Plattsmouth Herald: The enterprise of T Ovalia Bee in running a special trai from Omaha here for the purpose of ng the dyer going west, is much appre- ciated by the readers of ‘that metripolitan daily here, as well as those further west.
