This would in no measure destroy the force of the local -application of the name to a person of Le Caron instinets. Tue steel industry of the country has need a gratifying revival, The sales for the current year have excoeded those for the corresponding time of 1888 by oune hundred thousand tons, nud the mills have orders on hand to keep them busy for the next six months. Tue terrible erash of a falling build- ing in Chicago, followed so soon by an- other in Hartford, is proof that not ail the Buddenseiks of the country are in the penitent are o number ef penitent the complement of convicts is not complete. WYOMING is anxious to create a rail- road boom 1n that territory this season. The construction of the Burlington & Northwestern on its borders gives rise to hopes that feeders will be built to these lines as well as to the Union Pa- cific from the coal and oil fields and the mines. Tie legislature is grinding away at a suail’s pnce. Only two bills were dis- posed of last week out of six hundred on the calendar. At this rate the legis- lature would be obliged to extend its present session six years in order to linish its work, Obviously this is a very expensiv of killing time. wa Tne Towa railvoads are work obtaining a m: show the loss that would result on a year’s business based on the commis- sioners’ rate sehedule.

This would look as if that railroad was not unduly nervous and sensitive over the reduction of rates ordored by the Lowa state railroad commission, and notin the least frightened by the threats of the Nebraska hoard of wransportation to adopt the Lowa freight schedule. E—— SeENATOR COKE has been talking four days in an attempt to prove that elec- tions in the south are as fairly con- ducted as in the north, Just now the southern shotguns are silent, hecause polls are closed, but if an election were in progress the reports of these guns would completely drown the most fiery period of eloquence of which Senator Coke is capable. So long as the south- ern negro wants to vote and is not al- lowed to vote, Cole can talk till blacker an the face than hisoppressed hrethren, and he will couviuce no one.

Asury and on, checked, The serious trouble appears to be that the legislators genecrally are giving more attention to the lobby than to » duties. An- groat many theirproper and legitin other difficulty is that a members of both houses are more con- cerned to achieve personal notoviety than to advance the substantial interests of the state, This is cvi- denced in the fact of over s hundred bills having been introduced. Doubt- 1ess no one has been so foolish as to ex- pect any high order of statesmanship from the prescnt legislature, and thus far it has done nothing to warrant a hope that the more vital matters affect- ing the future welfare of the people will be legislated upon in a practical, common sense way. There is unques- tionably an element in the body that earnestly desires to reduce the expenses of the government in whatever diree- tion this can be done without imnairing the eflicicney of the public service, but it hegins to appear very questionable whether these friends of retronchment wiil be able to accomplish o small part ot whut they desir The remaining twenty-four days of the session will be suflicient time in which to accompiish all needed legisla- tion if the legislatuve will scttle down to honest work, but the experience th far does not afford any urance that it will do this, or at least that it will do so until the end of the session is so near that more or less ill-considered id im- mature legislation will be inevitable Ietween the influence of the lobby. the achieve of most members to personal notoriety, and the genc of a high order of legislative the prospect of the preseat leg making a particularly brilliant is not at all flatte anxiet rec PROPH or 1t would be a wholly exceptional ex- perience if on the eve of the entrance into power of u new administration there were no prophecies of trouble awaiting it. These are making their appearance now, most plausibly framed and bed to the most trustworthy sources. We are told that numerous individuals, more or less potent in republican poli- ties, have their knives out for General Harrison, and that a bitter quarrel is inevitable at the very outset of his ad- ministration. A circumstantial narr tive isgiven of certain alleged com- pucts and agreements made by ison which he must fuifil or encounter the relentless hostility of the men with whom they were made. Blaine 1s of course the person whose connection with the nextadministration is to be made the cause of the promised strife. It is expected, for example, that he will en- deavor to repeat the course pursued un- der the Garfield administration with re- gard to the distribution of patronage in New York, whereupon Mr. Platt and his following will proclaim war against the administration. The assump- tion is that once in the cabinet M. Blaine will dominate the administra- tion, and that right and left only his friends will receive vecognition. On the other hand the idea is advanced that it is the design of General Ha rison to treat his cabinct advisers simply as head clerks, mueh us Me. Cleveland is understood to have done, and this witha view to freczing out Mr, Blume, This it is assumed would ine itably bring on & conflict in the cabi- net, resulting in a dissolution and re- organization carly in the carcer of the administration, and of course throwing tho party into a state of confusion quite as bad or worse than that of eight years ngo. It is not to ve supposed that the next administration will pe the experi- ence of all preceding administrations in making some enem in the ranks of its own party, There are politicians who place a very high'estimate upon their claim to recognition who will be isappointed. This is inevitable, be- [ the adminis ion will not have places enough in its gift to satisly all such, It can male, for instance, but eight cabi- net appointments, and at a very moder- ate estimate tneve ave fifty gentlemen who feel that they have superior claims and qualifications for such a position. The four principal diplomatic mssions, not less honorable or desirable than place in the cabinet, must be distrib- uted among perhaps a hundred who deem themselves eligible on the score of both party service and ability, And 0 it is thut some of those who fully be- lieve they should be preferred for the choice places will suffer disappointment. A few of thom must be expected to fecl displeased with the administration, but itisnot to be seriously apprehended that they will attempt anything like a warfare, or, if they should, that it would amount to anything, Politicians like Mr. Platt, for example, greatly ovor- estimate themselves when they imagine that the republican party, or any con- siderable portion of it, can be brought into sympathy with their personal disap- pointments. If & distinguished leader like Mr. Conkling was unuble to se- cure a windication of his course at the hands of his party in his own state, when he made an issue against the national administration, what could Mr. Platt hope for? General Harrison has plainly indicated his purpose not to rogurd the wishes of factions, but to en- deavor to keep the party united and harmonious, Fath in his intention to do this will remain so long as theve is not tie clearest possible cvidence to overthrow it, regardless of the com- | plaints of disappointed politicians. And it may ensily be believed that General | Harrison will shape his policy accord- | ing to his convictions of what is nac sary to be done, accepting counsel that he thinks wise and judiciousand reje ing all that he does not so esteem, hy whomsocver given. The prophets of ovil are engaged in a most unpromising | labor. e e . I is contemplated to submit a consti- tutional amendment providing for an increase of the number of supreme court judges in Nebr from three to five. It 1s said in behalf of such an amendment that the business of the su- preme court is greater than three judges can take cave of. If that is now the fact the importance of the proposed amendment is appavent, and it should not be postponed to another legislature. The of the supreme-court is cortain to steadily increase, and if al- ready it is beyond the ahility of the business judges to dispose of it promptly the earliest practicable provision should he made for preventing an ac- cumulation. The interests of the peo- ple and the cause of justice require that the highest judicial tribunal of the state shall be enabled to give prompt atten- tion to issues presented to it and keep up with its business, The unfortunate situation of the federal supreme court, in being fully four years benind with its business, cuggostive example of how great an crror itis to allow such tribunals torun bohind with their busi- ness. The inevitable result is in many cases o denial of justice, and moro or hardship to a class of liti 1ts is inevitable. The cost of two more judges would be insignificant in comparison with the value of their scr- vices in expediting the decisions of our highest tribunal of justice. loss T suecessity for move stringent regulations in our city respecting the inspection of boilers and the examina- tion of stationary cngineers in busi- ness bloe hotels and residence | It is the duty of the city boiler inspec- tor to pi upon and certify to the con- dition of ever tionary boiler in the city.

The eity boiler inspector com- plains that his authority is limited, and that the tests for qualifications as stationa engineer are too low. The fees for boiler inspection and examina- tion are more than sufficient to defray the expense of the office of boiler in- spector. The additional authority to be conferred would add more revenue to the city’s income, and would reduce the dangers from boiler explosions to a minimum. ACCORDING to General Brisbin’s no- tion, there i3 no use in our annually wasting thirty-eight million dollars in importing tin from old England when we can produce twice that much at home and not only supply the home market, but export largely of this valu- able commodity. The general has been investigating the tin resources of this country and “Tin of good quality exists in Arizona, Colorado and Dakota. The mines in the Black Hills of Dakota alone are capable when fully developed of supplying all the tin we want for do- mestic us All they need is develop- ment, and mine owners ave 1 Chicago now endeavoring to interest capital in this branch of our mining industry.
