It evi- feels that the probabilities are strongly in favor of the next secretary of the treasury being taken from the 1 events, being a man sympathy with west- ern than with eastern senti- ment regarding the financial poli of the government, and it implies a douht whether a man can be found outside t'e money center of the country competent to cope with the financial problems which may bo pre- sented under the next administration. It obse and doubtless correctly, that “the next four years will present financial questions of gr importance, and what is more 1o the point, will quire that the head of the treasury de- wd constantly movements more in pae partment shall earefuil follow the course of money with an intelligent conception of cur- vency requirements, with ability and knowledge that will justify the fearless and offective ercise of discrctionary pow without ervor due cither to misrepre- sontations and improper influences of interested parties, or to the failure to appreciate and successfully meet the necessities arising from our ar! inlly complicated financ In the opinion of the journal in question the new see- of the treasury must ige of commercial afairs, finan- and currency conditions, administration s retary know cial prineip and the aim of the new should be to select a **zealous student of finance, who has devoted years of earn- est consideration to the questions now pressing for action, and who will bring to (e - administra- tion of revenue and currency laws abil- ity acquired by study and expericnce, and by familiar acquaintance with the ments and orrorsof the past and juirements and difficultios of the ent.’? It would Ybe impossible to describe more elearly the sort of man who oug to be at the head of the treasury depart- ment, and who has not heen in that sition during the present administri- tion. Yet both the of the treasury in the past fopr years werc taken from New York. The great wenkness of both of them was thut they yielded to the misreprescenta- tions and improper influences of in- terested parties, those parties being chicfly the bankers and capitalists of New York. The entire policy of Seere tary Manning was shaped to comply with the views and wishes of Wall street. All he knew or cared for re- gurding financial privcipics and cur- reney conditions was inspired from and had veference to the interests of that monoy center. He obstinately refused to give heed to any other counsel or in- fluence, and it is well remembored what the consequence was to the finaneial af- o of the country. His successor having been instructed in the narrow school, and never having been a *‘zealous student of finance™ until he entered the treasury, endeavored to maintain the policy in which he had been taught until cire umstances com- pelled him to in part abandon it. What- er success he has had is due to the fact that he has since proceeded on broader lines than those luid down by his predecessor. The time has gone by for conceding that all commercial and financial wi dom 1s centeraed in the east, and the pe riod has come for a broader and more comprehensive financial policy than can ever come from Wall street, The seat of e 1 empire in this country is in The vast region properly in- cluded in that section contributes s nually the largest shave to the wealth and prosperity of the country. It still has great undeveloped resources invit- ing capital and population. Our finan- cial policy should have some relation to the requirements of this vigorously pro- grossive section, while doing no in- justico to any other portion of the coun- try, vather than beipg shaped to suit the desires or exigencies of one section, as has been almost uniformly the for years, There is every reason to ¢ pect that a western man at the head of the treasury would be far less likely to err from the misrepresentations and improper influences of interested ties than one selected from the east,and especially from New York.

Iilsewhere in our columns will be found a highly interesting interview with Mr. W G Albright, velative to the real estate and building outlook for Omaha during the ensuing year. It will be found very gratifying reading by all who are coneerned in the growth and prosperity of the metropolis of Nebraska, The confident tone of Mr. Albright's observations results from a thorough knowledge of the situation acquired by careful investigation and actual business experience. A fow months ago such expressions of confi- dence would have been received with more orless incredulity, as the halting attitude of investors for some time had been pretty gouerally interpreted evidence of their loss of faith in Omaha realt) Yot during this period of ap- pavent depression improvements on a most liberal scale were going onin every direction, and property in good localities not only held its own, but ofund purchasers at increased prices. The causes that conduced to a gencral decline in western real estate invest- ment by eastern capital are well under- stood, and it is also apparent that the, have very neurly or quite ex- hausted their force. The alarm raised by the eastern stock gum- blers, and the newspapers in their in- terest about values of eastern roalty is seen to have been groundless, The west has not ouly survived the assault, but has continued to grow and prosper, and in this advancement Nebraska has largely shared. Theve is consequently a roaction taking place in the feeling of eastern capitalists regarding western investments, and with money abundant in the cast and anxiously looking for a profitable outlet, there is every reason to believe that it will flow westward in as THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY.

The proposition to create a court of claims in Nebraska, before which all claims against the state shall be heard and determined, is worthy of careful consideration. The suggestion of the resolution of Mr. McBride, adopted by the house, is that such a court be com- prised of district judges of the state, who shall meet at least twice n year and serve without additional pay. It is as- serted that claimsare constantly coming before the legislature that should be passed upon by judicial authority, and not by the committee of claims, and it would seem to be obviously in the inter- est, both of the and of honest claimants, that clai should be acjudicated by a judicinl tribunal specially constituted for that Congress some yoars ago created a foderal court of claims, and its operation has been satisfactory, while a number of the states have a imilar tribunal. The creation of a court in this state would certainly be to the advantage of claimants in cn- abling them to get a hearing twice a year instead of oneo in two years,and it is fair to presume that a tribunal of this Shuracter would give more careful and more intelligent attention to claims than a committee of the legislature, with the greater certainty of a just and impartial determination, all of which would be to the benetit of the state. As the constitution provides that the state may sue and be sued,and authorizes the legislature to provide in what manner and in what courts suits shall be hrought, there appears to he no constitu- tional obstacle in the way of creating a court of claims in Nebraska. purnosc. such A REMARKABLI PROPOSITION. An ordinance has been introduced in the council to prohibit the construction of buildings on grounds which have at any former period been part of a street. This is a remarkable proposition. The city has for years been narrowing cor- tain streets and selling the strips of ground abutting the lots on such streets 1o the owners of such lots. These sales were made after due appraisement and deeds executed by the mayor were delivered to the purchasers and placed on record. The passage of the proposed ordinance would be a llagrant violation of property rights ceded by the city for a consideration. The council might just as well revoke the sale of city lots which have been deeded to va- vious pavties from time to time. It isa palpable attempt to repudinte contract obligations and should be discounten- anced. I it is considered improper to nurrow strects or to sell any cit, property. an ordinance for- bidding sueh narcowing and sale would Dbe proper, but the city cannot with any degree of decency puta cloud wpon titles it has granted heretoforg, whereby enterprising citi- zeus who were abeut to construet build- ings on lots that were in pavt originally laid out as streets, would be embarrassed in uegotiating building loans. Tue report of the commissioner of schools for the year 1888 is especially interesting at th juncture. It appears that the taxation for school purposes is insufliciont to pay the expenses of publie school instruc- tion, and tuition fees are charged in the district schools of the tervitory to pay necessary expenses. The result is that thousands of children whose parents are too poor to pay for their tuition are de- barred of a public school education. The census of the school children in the territory of school age shows that there are lifty-seven thousand of Mormon par- entage and four thousand five hundred of Gentile parentage. The cause of such a state of affairs of course apparent. The Mormon legislature re- fuses to make provisions for the support of the public school system of the terri tory so long as the Mormons control the educational affairs. Having the power to levy taxes, they refuse to contribute one cent for the support of a common school systemn unless they can divert the money into the support of their own parochial schools, which cannot be done while Utah maintains the territorial form of gov nent, All this is inter- esting foreshadowing what would happen if Utah were admitted to state hood under Mormon rule.

The goods were deposited in the second story of abutchor shop on ‘Pwenticth street near Lake, which, it will be remembered, was, one afternoon shortly ufterward, burned to the ground. In common with the owner of the building, the fire-bug received his insur ance and disappearcd. Roscnthal & Co. were sufferers to the amount of their bill loss §20, The sneak gave his nawe as W, H Blair, In response to the letter of Rosenthal & Co., above referred to, the chiei fire mar shal of Boston forwarded a copy of an in surance paper in which was printed a pie- ture of the incondiary. By this means Rosenthal & Co. were satisfied as ta tne identity of the fellow. The firm immediately notified the local board of underwriters of the fact through Mr. vir, who had one of his fellow insurance fool into the matter with the result that Chase, alias Blair, was the same fellow who had so adroitly robbed the furniture firm mentioned, confidenced the insurance com pany, and further that he is the_fellow who has been working other firms in the sume way throughout the country. With this dis covery the underwriters nave decided that us s00n as Blair is set free by the Bos people ~ to briug him to th city. There is uot much likelihood that he will soon get out of his present posi tion, because the authorities claim that he will'be sentenced for at least twenty-five yeurs o the penitentiary Blair or Chase's methiods have been as fol lows: He would buy, under an assume name, a small amountof furniture, put it in a10om and then set fire to the latter, so in- juring s furniture as to recover his insur- ance and then bastily leave the city. It is now cortain that he practiced in this way in anumber of places, because on his person when he was arrested was a number of in- surance policies from different parts of the country. In I3oston, he displayed in the place ~ to which he had appied the mateh several old charred articles which he had taken as relies from some of his carlier conflagrations, but the keen eyed detectives saw that the blaze waich had been ostensibly extinguished by Blair hi self could not have burned these relics s badly. It is morally certain that Blair or Chase will apply but few more incendiary matches. ()lAl)-Tl)l‘l‘) LITIGATION. ct Court Lively t Term.
