THE annual statement just made pub- lic of the condition of Omaha’s seven national banks is a flattering exhibit. — THE south side is still straining its eyes for a sight of vhe promised street car extensions. From present indica- tions the rival companies are spending their energies track-laying in the direc- tion of Fort Omaha. THE people of Yankton are making every effort to secure railroad connec- tion with this city, Omaha cannot do less than meet them half way and therchy secure access to the most fer- tile portion of South Dakota. Tue contract which was made last fall for the laying of the permanent * walk about Jefferson square should be immediately enforced by the proper authorities. Too much latitude was given the contractors in this instance. THE record of exports from this coun- try for the current year shows that large shipments of raw products and manufactured articles are being con- signed to Canada, Mexico, South and Central America. This isan encour- aging sign. THE residents aleng the Belt line want better suburban accommodations. especially in the evening. This re- quest is respectfully referred to the at- tention of the Missouri Pacific author- ities as an indication of the necessity of adequate local train service. No sooner was the first criminal in New York who is to suffer death by electricity condemned, that his at- torney at once took exception on the ground that the sentence was ‘‘cruel and unusual.” It is evidently not alone drowning men who catch at straws. ‘THE people have almost forgotten the Douglas county election cases. The democratic legislative delegates, how- ever, just hauled into court for refusing to pay for stenographic reports of the contest have every reason in the world to keep it green in memory. The time has come for them to pay the fiddler. THE absence of General Hugh J. Campbell will be felt in the constitu- tional convention that is to be held at Sioux Falls on the fourth of July, ‘While General Campbell is doubtiessly eccentric, he is, nevertheless, the brainiest man that has been identified with the statehood movement in Da- kota. It is to be regretted that, through polivical conniving, he has been rele- gated to the rear af a time when he could be of the greatest service. Gen- eral Campbell has been a most earnest advocate of statehood. His loyal devo- tion to the cause deserved recognition. THE Herald quotes an old law to sus- _ tain its claim that a two-thirds vote is mecessary to carry school bonds in Omaha. The act ‘‘relative to schools in metropolitan cities,” approved March 81, 1887, section 28, provides that *if a majority of the ballots polled at such an election shall be for issuing bonds, the said board of education may issue bonds in such an amount as shall be named in the election notice.” This provision does vot require to be rubbed in to convinee an ordinary mind. ROCK ISLAND officials repudiate the report that the company intends leas- ing the Union Pacific ox-bow from Omaha to Beatrice, The absurdity of the story refuted itself. It is merely a question of time before the company builds an independent line from Omaha to & junction with the Colorado line at or near Fairbury., It must necessarily e as short as practicable to successfully compete with the Burlington. The Rock Island company **is not a rainbow chaser” nor an asylum for white ele- phant railroads. ——— TaeRre is a million seven hundred thousand dollars more on deposit in the seven national banks of this eity to date as compared with a year ago. This is certainly a gratifying showing, ‘When it is taken into cousideration that this amount does not represent the suvings of the community in the hanas of savings and private banks, trust companies and the like in Omaha, but the greater part of the cash and secur- itlesused in daily business transactions, the statement well reflects the healthy growth of Omaha and the wealth of our “MERCHANTS WEEK." The second recurrence in Boston of “‘Merchants’ week,” an institution for promoting the eommercial interests of that city which had its origin there, closed last Saturday. As it has been proposed to adopt this plan in Omaha the results of Boston'’s experience will be interesting. We infer from what is said by the Advertiser of that city that while these have not been altogether discouraging they were not generally what was hoped for. One of the features of the plan is to call in traveling sales- men to entertain visiting customers, and the Advertiser remarks thut doubt- less in many instances the expense thus incurred, and the consequent fall- ing off of the regular trade, is not coun- terbalanced by the returns from orders taken direct during the week. But this feature i3 not absolutely essential, for, although visiting merchants would find it pleasant to meet familiar faces, it is really dasirable that they: shall be thrown more closely into contact with the heads of firms and cordial relations established between principals. There is no reason why tho visiting merchants could not be quite as well taken care of in the absence of the traveling sale: men, these being left free to can- vass among the merchants who should not accept the privileges of ‘“mer- chants’ week.” Itis quite probable, thevefore, that if it is decided to con- tinue the plan in Boston the feature of calling in salesmen will be lnrgely done away with as involving an unnecessary outlay. But even the somewhat disappointing results do not, in the opinion of the Advertiser, go to prove that merchants’ week, as an institution, is a failure. It remarks in its wider conception it is not primarily to be considered as a season for booming trade. Its chief purpose is rather to create among out- of-town retail merchants a stronger interest in the market from which they buy, ‘‘by personally meot- ing the heads of the wholesale houses and by seeing for themselves vhat which they cannot appreciate by inspecting a drummer’s samples.” To the average retailor, says the Advertiser, a picce of cloth, or a bag of coffee, is a mmodity merely, and quality and price being equal, he buys of the drummer who has won his confldence without much re- gard to what city he represents. The influence of “Merchants’ week™ tends iargely to dispel this indifference, and it has been demonstrated in the experi- ence of many Boston houses that it has this effect. The conclusion of the Ad s that the results thus far expericuced by the several trades are such as to war- rant the belief that increasing benefits will acerue from its continuance, with such modifications in the detail of its management as are shown by experi- ence to be desirable. Having the ex- perience of Boston to guide them, the merchants of Omaha can have little difficulty in determining whether or not it is desirable to try here this novel expedient for promoting trade. GROWTH OF BANKING. Not very long ago there was a ge eral complaint of the impending deca- dence . of banking. It was repre- sented that the national banking s tem especially was in a rapid declin and that unless congress promptly did something to enable the particularly in the matter of providing a new basis for circulation. it must soon succumb. Senator Sherman and other cool and clear-headed financiers pointed out that there was no such danger im minent, and statistics show the accu- racy of their judgment. The American Banker presents some interesting statistics regarding the growth of banking, from which it ap- pears that while the banks have been losing on one side one hundred and eighty-five millions of theircirculation, they have been gaining on the other side three hundred and twenty millions of deposits. ““In other words,” says that publication, ‘‘the beneficent com- pensative law of deposit banking has been at work., For every one hundred dollars lost in circulation the banks have augmented their volume of banking power by one hundred and seventy-three dollars of new The creative natural laws of it-banking have increased the loaning power and efficient force of our banks in the productive work of the country by seventy-three per cent in this movement alone.” 1t is, there- fore, not a matter of wonder that the national banking system has muuuuud to grow. The extent of this growth is shown in the fact that there are now three thou- sand two hundred and eight banks, loaning more than seventeen hundred million dollars, against two thou- sand one hundred and thirty-two bauks in 1881, loaning less than teelve hundred million dol- lars, With the growth of national banks there has adso been an inerease of all the other banks of every sort throughout the country. During last year nine hundred and ninety-four new banks were created, while for the present year to April 30 the total num- ber of banks organized, national, state and private, was four hundred and six, against three hundred and forty- seven for the corresponding period of lust year, It will thus be seen that the predictions of the prophets of evil have not been verified, but on the contrary are shown to have bean baseless, unless it be assumed that the capital which has entered so largely to banking enterprises is going blindly to destruction. In time congress will be called upon, if the national sys- tem is to be maintained, to make pro- vision for continuing it by providing a new basis of circulation, and when that time is reached, the question will be one of commanding importance. Just at present it is not generally so regarded. The statistics of the growth of national bauks would seem to indicate that there is no lack of confidence that congress will tind & practicable way of continu- ing the system with a just regard for all the interests involved Wi are in receipt of the Los Angeles Tribune convaining comparative figures of the cost of projected improvements in Omaha and Los Angeles for the present year, from which thus city is made to appear at somewhat of a dis- advantage. The. Tribune quotes the conservative figures given some time gince in Tue Bre, which place the projected improvements for the cur- rent year ava little less than nine million dollars, and follows with a state- ment of what Los Angeloes is promised at a cost of over thirteen million dollar Omaha is not the bit envious of the enterpr California city. There is no rivale interests between them, and each can vegard the progress and prosperity of the other with the heartiest satisfac- tion. But there can be no impropriety in suggesting to the Z%ibune that had it been as conservative as Tig BeE in presonting the figures of projected im- provements it would have been com- pelled to reduce the total by several millions, We stated the amount roa- sonably certain to be expanded for im- provements this year, while it is obvi- ous that our contemporary has, in at lenst several cases, given the full estimated cost of improvements which will be distributed over two or thres vears. Forexample, the Los Angeles cable company gontemplates laying for even miles of track, which with equipment and engine houses it is esti- mated will cost four million dolla and this amount heads the 7'vibu showing of the aggregate sum to be pended for improvements this y Los Angeles can bo congratulated if it has forty-seven miles of cable road within the next three years, and the ex- penditure for this improvement in the present year will very likoly not exceed one-third of the esti- mated total cost. So as to some of the otier projected improvements, whiie a number of them are already possessed by Omaha and have been paid for. We right cordially congratulate Los Ange- les upon its enterprise, prosperity and progress, but it must not boast indis- crectly. It is yet a long way behind Omaha, and will have to do some very brisk marching to catch up, if that be possible under any circumstances. THE statements of representati the Towa roads show pretty clearly that these roads are not solely to blame for the lack of stock shipments to South Omaba from the east. The trouble is nearer home. IMirst and foremost is the exorbitant bridge toll of the Union Pacific. One dollar o mile for six miles of switching is virtually prohibitory. Towa stock shippers are not in the busi- ness for their health. If th canuot reach Omaha on terms equal with other markets, the city cannot hope to secure their trade, With youngand energetic markets springing up at various points in that state, without bridge tolis to re tard their growth, Omaha will find it impossible to establish a permanent stock trade with fowa unless substantial inducements in rates and prices are as- sured. The first essential is a reduc- tion of bridge tolls. Having secured that, the managers of the stockyards should send agents into Iowa and de- monstrate to shippers that the Omaha market is the most profitable place to deal. This is one way to secure the coveted business. Prompt action and less complaining 15 ne. ry IT WILL cause not a little surprise to learn from the statistician of the agri- cultural department that outside of cotton, tobacco, meats, flour, butter and cheese, all other commodities together are about three per cent of the exports from this country. With respect to corn, Burope does not take one-half of the yield of any one of our corn produc- ing states. This would indicate that after all the United States depends on a home market for the consumption of agricultural products. Missounrs passed a bill recently mak- ing option trading in grain a mis- demeanor. In other words, futures in corn, wheat or oats can not be bought or sold unless the parties own the grain and can make a bona fide transfer. Last year the actual transactions in grain aggregated something like forty million bushels, while options for the same grain were traded to the amount of one hundred and fifty milion bushels, It is sufe to predict that the law will re- main a dead let in St. Louis. IN comparison with the mineral pro- duction of the United States, Canada makes an insignificant exhibit. The government has jnst issued an estimate of the mineral weaith of the Domin- ion for 1885 and places its value at six- teen and one-half millions. This is equal to about one-thirtieth of the value of the production from the American mines for the corresponding period. Tre right of suffrage extended to women in Omaha o vote for members of the school board, does not include the right to vote for the issue of bonds or the expenditure of money for educa- tional purposes. That is a distinction evidently which the lady who offered - har ballot*at the school bond election had not clearly defined in her mind, I'r is said that the Union Pacific rail- road paid taxes in 1888 on its main line toun amount thirty per cent in excess of that of 1887, On the Kansas division in 1888 over one hundred thousand dol- lars was paid in excess of the am ount of taxes met the year previous. There is just a whit of encouragement in this statement. The question is, how mueh of its property rewained untaxed? — THE state board of equalization pro~ poses to inspect the lines and improve- ments of the Union Pacific railroad in Nebraska during the vemaining days of this weeic. + Il they accomplish the feat in so short a time, they possess a capacity for work which would make Matthew Arnold turn in his grave. —— LocAL politicians hankering for official position in Washington should keep their eye on the fact that a ciyil service examination for clerkships in the government offiees takes place in Omaha pext week, But on second thought, politicians are not in the habit of taking oficial nap in that way.
