YELLOW FEVER in a virulent form ls raging in parts of Brazil devoted to cof- fee growing, and fears are entertained that'the scourge may be transported to America in the shipmeonts of coffee.

The propused roud is believed to be an ex- tension of tho Manitoba system.

The preliminary details of this gigantic monopoly have already been agreed upon, and in a few months, it is safo to prediet, the price of s:!t will be materially advanced. THE WESTERN BANKING INTEREST. The relative_figancial importance of the westorn states, as shown by the bank statistics just issued from the office of the comptroller of the currency, will be both surprising and interesting to most people who concern themselves regard- ing matters of this character. The re- ports of the national banks woroe for the 26th of February of this year, at which date there were twelve hundred and seventeen banks in the western states. This was nearly double the number in the New England and middle states, more than twice the number in the middle and southern states, and very nearly equal to the number in the middle, southern and Pacific States. The whole number of national banks in tho country, February 26, was threo thousand one hundred and seventy, so that the western states had within three hundred and sixty-eight of one-half the nationa) bunks in the country. | In the amount of capital the middle states exceeded the western by seven- teen million dollars, but the western states were ahead of every other sec- tion. They were also largely ahead of all but the middle states in the amount of deposits and the amount of loans and discounts. In surplus and profits the New Iingland and the mid- dle states make a larger showing than the western. These figures conspicu- ously exhibit the great importance of the western states in the financial af- fairs of the nation, and the strength of these states in this respect is growing steadily and more rapidly than that of any other section. HOUSES AND SCHOOL BONDS. To keep pace with the rapid growth of this city, and consequent heavy in- crease of school population, the board of education is compelled to construct several new school buildings this year. This 18 an imperative want, which can- not well be deferred. The enormous revenue derived through the license system will scarcely meet the demands for running expenses, which might be curtailed in various directions without materially intorfering with the effi- ciency of the schools. The funds for building school houses must, therefore, necessarily be raised by the issue of school bonds. The problem with which the board of education 15 now expected to grapple is how to provide the suburban population with accessible school houses, and meet the wants of the shifting population in the center of the city. Within five years the vesident por- tion of the city has witnessed what might be called a revolution. The con- struction of business blocks, warehouses the extension of depot grounds has gradually crowded the school population from what was the east half of the original town site, over the sloping hills to the west, south and north. The school houses erected for the ac- commodation of the school population of the lower wards are now in the busi- ness district, and must soon be aban- doned altogether. To meet the de- mands of the present day and make provision for our future wants, the school buildings to be constructed this year should be planned with a view to the future as well as present popu- lation. Those constructed in more a populated sections of the city will have to be on a scale commensurate with the demand, and the suburban school buildings should be planned with a view to future enlargement. The people of Omaha have always been very liberal in voting school bovds, even when the reckiess methods of the board have not inspired public confidence. This time, however, they will insist upon knowing just where the school houses are to be planted and what dimensions and accommodations the projected school houses will have. From time to time there have been various projects for enlarging the high school, und this project will probably be brought forward among others. We very much doubt the wisdom of making any addition to the high school build- ing this season. If provision is to be made for accommodating the pupils in the lower grades that reside in the neighbornoad of the high school square, a new site should be purchased and a first-class building,modeled according to mcdetn city school houses should be erected thereon. Such a building is needed now, and always will be dasir- able in that section of the city, The sooner the site for such a building is se- cured aud the school house erected the better. The high school building must ere long be vacuted by all lower grade pupils, and it should be remodeled for its exclusive uso for high school pur- poses. If we are to have awing to that structure it should be designed for high school uses, and made adaptable for a normal department, which sooner or later must be added to the high school. ‘Woe wake these suggestions now in order that the board may muke no mis- tuke in its bond scheme. A reasonable amount of sehool bonds wili be cheer- fully voted, but wild-cat schemes or manifest jobs wiil defeat the whole proposition. SCHOOL THE DRIFT OF POPULATION. The census of Douglas county jist complied by the county superinteudant, confirms the deducttons made by Tue B that the growth of populntion 18 substantial and pormanent. The enu- meration of school children in past yenrs furnished a correct busis for an es- timate of the population. In 1885, there were eleven thousand two hundred and two children of schoolage in Omaha. Multiplying this number hy five and one-nalf, the usual ratio, the population of the city was sixty-one thousand six hundred and eleven., These figures were confirmed by the state census taken three months later (sixty-one thou- sand eight hundred and thirty-five), The enumeration for 1889 shows a total of twenty thousand two hundred and eighty-three children in Omaha, or & population of one hun- dred and eleven thousand, five hundred and fifty-six, and in Douglas county twenty-four thousand, six hun- dred and forty-six, aud & population of one hundred and thirty-five thousand, five hundred gnd sixty-three, The dn crense during the past year did not ap- proach that of the two previous years. Tn 1887, the year of our greatest growth, the increase amounted to twenty-one thousand, four hundred and forty-nine; in 1888, twenty thousand, four hundred and forty-nine, and in 1880, eight thousand, three hundred and forty- three. Estimating the population of South Omaha at ten thousand, the popu- lagion of the county outside of the twin cities is fourteen thousand and seven. The census shows very clearly the drift ef the residence population of Omaha. Senator Manderson has recently assorted that the trend of business and population in Omaha was north and west. No statis- tics were furnished to support the claim, for the very important roason that none could be had. The truth is that the school census for the past four years proves conclusively that the ma- jority of the population is south of Farnam street. In 1885, the population south of that street was thirty-three thousand and ninety-six; north side, twenty-nine thousand five hundred and fifteen, a difference of three thousand five hundred and eighty-four in favor of the south. In the succeeding two years the population of the south side increased to forty-three thousand three hundred and eighty-three; north side, thirty-eight thousand six hundred and eighty, a difference of four thousand seven hundred and three. Up to April of the present year the south side increased to sixty thousand and fifty-nine, north side to fifty-one thousand four hundred and ninety-nine, a preponderance of eight thousand five hundred and sixty in favor of the south side. hese figures ave based on an equal division of the population of the Third, Fourth and Ninth wards, which is a fair proportion, with.Farnam street as the dividing line. They prove beyond any doubt that the trend of poulation is to the south and west. PERNAPS the news of the opening to settlement of the new territory, with the knowledge that four new states are to be admitted into the union this year, will account for the stimulus which em- igration from Europe to the United States has suddenly received. It is au- thoritatively stated that last weck twenty thousand persons left the vari- ous parts of Burope for this country, while engagements were made which indicate that the tide of new comers is likely to be maintained at large figures for some time to come. There is cer- tainly no attraction for these peo- ple in the present industrial condi- tion of the country, but as many of them as come with the means to provide themselves with homes will find in the west the opportunity to do 80. It is to be supposed that these emi- grants are generally of a character to be acceptable to us, since it has come to be pretty thoroughly understood that the day has gone by when European countricscan unload upon us their pau- pers, criminals and other objectionable classes. A short time ago it appeared that the immigration of the present vear was likely to show a considerable falling off as compared with last year, but the present indications are that it will equal, if not exceed, that of 1888, —— rRGE W. ELLIOTT, a statis- tician of Rochester, N. Y., has been making a study of the growth of taxes in our cities, and finds that the averago tax per capita is about eleven dollars, while the average per capita of net in- debtedness is twenty-six dollars. New York City, according to his estimates, has a tax per capita of twenty-one dol- lars, Philadelphia of ten dollars, Chi- cago seveu dollars and seventy-five cents, Boston twenty-two dollars, Min- neapolis fourteen, Omaha twelve, and soon. While these figures can not be taken as absolutely correct, due to the fact that the population of many of the cities cited was made on estimates, it is quite apparent that taxation is too high in our cities, due almost wholly to mu- nicipal extravagance. THERE could perhaps be no better evidence of the fact that prohibition does not prohibit than is supplied by the internal revenue statistics in regard to the liguor traffic in Kansas. These show that in the last year of license, 1881, the number of tax stamps issued to liguor dealers was less than nineteen hundred, while in 1887 the number was nearly three thousand, there having been a steady annual mcrease from the socond year of prohibition, 1883. Thesoe figures show that there has been more dvinking since than before prohibition, except during the first year of that policy, and they are indisputable. Pro- hibition in Kansas has been a good thing only for the revenues of the gen- eral government. e— THE opening of the Sioux reservation in Dakota this summer will doubtless furnish a repetition of the stampede of land hunters to Oklahoma, It is esti- mated that twelve million acres of land will be added to the public domain, if the Indians consent. The commis- s1on recently appointed by the govern- ment will proceed to Dakota early next month to negotiate for the land, and the sentiments expressed by the leading chiels of the tribes foreshadow success. The laud, however, will not be thrown open to settlement on condition similar to Oklahoma, It will be sold at a price fixed by congress, and the purchaser must in addition comply with the home- stead law, This provision is intended to shut out speculators and encourage bona fide settlers. ——————— "CABLE advices from Liverpool an- nounce that within the past few) days some six thousand emigants embarked from that port bound for America. From other European senports the news is brought that the emigrant carrying trade has picked up wonderfully. Whether there is to be a revival of for- eign emigration on a great seale this season remains to be seen Tk New York Zvibune will not suffer editorially in the absense of Mr, White- law Reid if his place is filled by Colonel John Hay, who, it is said, bas been asked to wake charge of the paper while Mr. Reid is abroad.

The percentage of uncombined fat in the ‘‘Ivorv" is very small, hence the lather is clean, white and abundant, with entire absence of oil or grease. There are no injuricus substances. « The above considerations show the ‘‘Ivary" to be a pure soap and excellent for laundry use, Very Respectfully Yours, LABOKATORY OF CHEMISTRY, STEVENS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, Hovoken, N, J, ALBERT R.
