There is ¢ plentiful supply of money in the country, and the ing of confi- dence that will uce to its invest- ment in legitimate enterprises. The reasonable assurance that there is to be four years of safe aud conservative gov- ernment, for the nation cannot fail to lead capitalists to seok out the most promising sources of investment, and as the west and northwest still offer the is seen to be a fee greatest opportunities for the profitable employment of capital it may be ex- pected to flow in this direction freely. Especially will this be the ¢ when the territories that are ready for state- hood ard admitted, provision for which, it is now thought, will certainly be made by the present congress. But in any event the large amount of capital that is not at present productive will find in- vestment, and a large part of it will nn- doubtedly come to this section. It is not a “boom” that is expected or to he desired, but a natural and health- ful activity pc sing all the conditions of stability and permanence. This the outlook promises, and to whatever ex- tent the promise 1s realized Nebraska with her splendid agricultural record and the almost boundless opportuniti she still offers ought to get a ver erous share, ‘- THE SUPPRESSED SUFFRAGE. The sigmficant remark made by Gen- eral Harrison at a meeting of army vet- evans u few days ago has commanded wide comment. The president-elect said: **The only menace to-day to our institutions and the perpetuity of our government is the suppression of a free and fair ballot,” and he declared thi to be a wrong that should not be tol- erated. The conclusion has been formed by some that this expression implied a purpose on the part of General Harri- son to formulate a policy for the correc- tion of this evil, but a little reflection will show that his power in this direction is limited, The constitution does not confer upon the president any authority to inter- fere with elections in the states. Con- gross is empowered to regulate by law the times, places dnd manner of hold- ing elections for representatives, and also the tune of choosing presidential elector It is the duty of the presi- dent to see that such regulations ave properly carried out, but he hasno power beyond this. It is not probable, therefore, that General Harrison, who unquestionably has a clear and thorough understanding of his constitu- tional duties, intended to convey by his remark the idea that he contemplated a policy of arbitrary in terference with the suffrage in any of the states, and it is not wise to permit such an idea to prevail, But it1s well to have it understood that whatever proper and legitimate in- fluence the next administration can exert to remove the menace o our in stitutions involved in the suppression of a free and fair ballot will be exerted. To whatever extentcongress shall deem it wise to go in regulating the manner of the election of representatives, with a view to enabling all eitizens to enjoy the right of suffrage in the choice of their representatives, it may be ex- peeted that General Harrvison will see that such regulations are fully respected. He fully appreciates the gravity of the wrong that demands cor- rection, and he can be depended upon to make no compromise with those who are responsible for it. But how he shall proceed, or whether he will bo permitted to do anything to secure a free and fair ballot where it is now sup- pressed, will depend upon congress, and can apply only to the election of repre- sentatives, for as to electors congress is authorized merely to prescribe the time of choosing them, The suppression of the ballot in the southern states is quite us seriows matter as General Harvison has stated it to be, but the power of the general government to deal with the evil is 80 restricted that the hope of rem- edy must continue to rest largely upon the growth in that section of a more patriotic, just and generous sentiment. There is some promise of this, and it may perhaps be assisted by the next ad- ministration. The representatives of industrial interests in the south who some time ago called on General Harri- son, assured him that there was a con- siderable and growing element there prepured to revolt against bourbon rule, with all that it implies, and that it simply requires the encouragement to be had from the appointment to federal offices in the south of loyal and capable republicans who will command the respect and confldence of the class of peo- ple who are working for the material and practical improvement of the south, This atleast the next administration can do, and this it may safely be ex- pected to do. ep— STRIKE OFF A BALANCE SHEET. The mayor and council should let the people know what it cost to run the city during the past year. A tabulated statement of the expenditures and sources of reveunue has not been pre- pared for public inspection for the past two years at least. Au inventory should be made at least annually.
