E— THosk citzens of Omaha who were clamoring to build the new postoflice in a day are just finding out that the gov: ernment proceeds in a very leisurely way about such matters. ANDREW J. CARNEGIE has declared a lockout against his men and will ad- vertise for new workmen becguse his former employes will not sign his iron scale. Is this the end of Carnogio’s endeavors for the amelioration of labor in general and his workmen in partic- ular? IT WOULD be a great disappointment if the annual national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Milwaukee noxt month should fail to take place. This crisis, howevor, is likely to be brought about unless the railronds modify their ruling not to meke u ong-vent rate to the encamp- ment. g Tnx valuation of Douglas county as finally determinod by the board of equal- fzation is put at twenty-five millions and fifty thousand doliars. supposed to represent one-sixth of the actual value of lands, improvements and chuttels. It remains to be seen how justly the state board of equalization inteude to treat this county in comparison with tho other counties of the state. A BETTER OUTLOOK. Before the meoting on Tuesday of the intor-state railwny association it ap- peared that another railrosd rate war was imminent. Therfe woere numerous signs and manifestations in railway circles of irritation and dissatisfaction. 'aith in the permanenee of the associ- ation was greatly shaken, many roil- rond men expressing the opinion that it could not hold together, Two roads had given notice of withdrawal from the association, and several others wore expected to do so. It was the general conviction that the abandon- ment of the association = would precipitate a rate war which wounld ro- sult more didastrously than the last con- flict, estimated to have cost the railroads of the country forty-eight millions ot dol- lars. A rate war at this time, when the prosperity of the country 18 reviving and all departments of business are ex- peviencing an improvement, could not fail to ho generally harmful, Instability and uncertainty as regards transporta- tion rates are embarcassing to all branches of trade, and the aggregate result is always damaging. The meeting of the railway associa- tion has relieved the situation of its un- favorable outlook. It was largely at- tended, an excellent spirit was shown, there was n general sentiment 1n favor of waintaining tho associntion, and there were some changeseffected which are expected to produce more satis tory results than the original plan. This is altogether reassuring. and while it can not be regarded as cdnclusive of the success of the experiment involved 1n the “gentlemen’s agreement,” 1t will g0 far to strengthen public coufidence in the sincerity of the railroad officials who remain parties tothe agroement. It may not have the effect at once of removing all difficulties and complications from the railroad situation, but it conveys the promise that for the preseut at least no new ones of u serious character ave likely to arise, and that anothev earnest effort is to be made to establish and maintain equitable and just rela- tions between the railroads. This dis- position merits the heartiest commen- dation and encouragement. The pub- lic will cordially welcome every ovi- dence that the members of the railway association aresincere in theie avowed purpose to deal fairly and honorably with each other, and to faith- fully comply with the inter-state commerce law. The difficulties of the railroad situation are not insurmountable if the officials will honestly address themselves to the task of overcoming them. One of these offi- cials has said that the trouble is a want of good faith and the absence of any high standard of commercial honor among railroad managers. The grave charge has found ample warrant in past oxperience. There ia a promise that it may find much less in the future. The inter-state commerce commission can indirectly sustain and strengthen the railway association by a strict en- forcement of the law. There is reason to believe that the inter-state commerce act: is being daily violated by the ronds whose policy it is to create difficulty and discord, and whose aim it would seem tobe to incite another rato wi Atany rate, the situation makes an urgent demand upon the commission for the exerc of unusual vigilance, as well as firmness. -The amendments to the law by the last congress, preseri ing severe penalties for its violation, were not made as a mere mentce, They were intended to be enforced, and the commission has given public assurance that they shall be enforced. The iuter- state commerce commission has ample authority ana power to prevent punish a relapse into the rascalities which have been a stigma upou rail- road management in the United States, and there isa public demand that it shall exercise vigorousiy and firmly all the functions the law gives it. The business interests of the country are to be congratulated upon the more tavor- able aspect of the railroad situation. or PREPARING FOR ACTION. It is announced that the chairman of the democratic national committec is already giving his attention to politi affairs in the prospective states and that a plan of eampaign will he al ranged within a short time. The com- mittee, it i id, has decided to made vigorous fight in all four of the new states, all factions of the party being united on that point. The committer was divided at its meeting last month upon the question whether a fight should be made in all four of the now states or only in Montanaand Washing- ton, but it was finally decided, agree- ably to the view of Colonel Brice, to make the fight all along the line, though undoubtedly the greatest ef- fort will be put forth in Moatana an Washington, both of which the chai man of the national committee pro- fesses to bo hopeful of capturing, The idea is not to make a noisy campaign, but to counduct it on the ‘'still hunt” plan. On the part of the republican man- agers there appears to have been no steps taken us yet for arranging or con- ducting the campnign in the new states. It seems thata consultation was pro- posad, but did not take place, and it does not appear that the national com- mittee ' is econcerning itself with the subject. Perhaps there is no reason for hurry. Certainly so far as the Da kotas are copcerned the republicans are in no danger. Their majority in South Dakota last year was nearly fifteen thousand, and in North Dakota nearly twelve thousand. Whatever may be the character of the democratic campaign, these majorities are mor likely to be increased than diminished noxt October. In Washington the r publican majority last November was over soven thousand, and uothing has since occurred o create any disafec- tion in the party which threatens to diminish its vote:. The chiefl and perhaps the only danger to the vepublicans is that the leaders may fall under railroad influ- i h event the party would Theve is & numerous hody of republicans in Washington who will lose no opportunity to rebuke the ex cise of railroad influence in politic and 1f these are ignored in the nomina- tions for state ofiicers, candidutes for new THE OMAHA DAILY BEE the legisiature and & representative in congress, the democrats will have a good fighting chance there. Tt is not to be doubted that the Northorn Pacifie will do all it can to secure tho prefer- once of men favorable to its intorests and whom it can control, but it is hardly conceivable that the republicans, with a full knowledge of the danger, will surrender to its influence. Some judicions couneil from the outside, how- over, could do no harm. As to Montana there is unquestionably uncertainty, the chances of the two parties being about even. Ttis there than the republicans will have to @0 the most vigorous and skillful work, and they should be pre- pared to enter upon it immediately after the labors of the constitutional conven- tion are completed. It is doubtless a fact that the democrats of Moatans are better organized and more harmonious than the republicans, and a con- siderable offort may be necessary to satisfy the disaffectod among the latter and bring them again into line. This work ean not safely be left wholly to local leaders. They must have the counsel and assistancoe of na- tional leaders, and under the circum- stances it would seem expedient that they should receive it with tho least possibly delay. It is quite within the bounds of probability, however, that Chairman Quay, of the national repub- lican committee, is not idle, and that when the hour strikes for action the democrats will discover that every nec- essury proparation has been made to confront them with a complete and har- monious republican organization in ull the new states. THE apprchension that has been ex- pressed in some quartcrs regarding the future catile supply of the country, and the necessity that may arise of import- ing instead of exporting beef, is not warranted by the statistics of the de- partment of agriculture. According to the results of an investigation by the bureau of animal indus! just pub- lished, the condition of the cattle in- dustries of the country is decidedly sat- isfuctory, The statistics show that while the growth of the cattle intercst has been serious checked at times during the last thirty years, the increase from 1860 to 1889 correspends closely with ‘the growth of population, the population of the United States and the ownership of cattle shown by the roports having atmost exactly doubled within thirty years. It is doubtless true that in somo sections the conver- sion of pasture land to other uses has resulted in diminishing the supply of cattle in those localities, but this has been balanced by gains elsewhere, as in the southwest. The time may come when the country’s supply of cattle will not meet the demand, but it 18 yet very remote. AT the request of the bank examin- ors, Attorney General Leese has put an important construction upon the new banking law affecting mortgage, loan, trust and investment comvanies. In the opinion of Mr. Leese all such companies which oporate a savings de- partment in connection with their busi- ness should make a report within the banking law, as required of other sav- ings banks. This ruling will appeal to everyone as eminently just and proper. The banking law was primarily de- signed as a -safeguard for depositors, and every corporation, firm or indi- vidual which transacts the business of recelving 100ney on deposit should be treated as a bank and should con- form to the banking law. The ruling of the attorney general will settle a much mooted question, and will protect the people of the state from grave abuses which otberwise would creep in were loan and investment companies oxempt from the operation of the bank- ing law. TrE whole country is laughing at the ridiculous attitude of the governors of Louisiana and Mississippi. For a whole week they made a parade of their blow and bluster, going so far as to even call out the milivia in order to prevent the Sullivan-Kilraiu prize fight from taking place on thoir respective territories. Yet the mill did take p mo ad- tised, vight unde e of the sheriff of Marion county, Missis without molestation on his part before or aftor the disgraceful battle. In con- sequence, both Governor Lowry, of Mis- sssippi, and Governor Nichols, of Lowsiuna, oceupy a humiliating posi- tion, before the people of their own states ns well as the country. To say that the fight could not have been pre- vented and the participants arvested if the governors of the two great southern states really meant business, reflects upon the dignity and authority of these chief magistrates. As it was, the laws, the peace and authority of two statds were openly defied by two rullians, and two mighty governors are held up for public derision, Tue pronmise of a direct railroad con- nection between Omaha and Dakotu is at last in a fair way to be speedily real- ized by the construction of twelve miles of rond petween Niobrara and Verdi- gro. As will be seon by a aispateh else- where from Niobrara, condemnation proceedings have bsen bogun against the idle grade of the Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul railroad to the point where the Elkhorn Valley road now stops, and as soon as the condemnation is made the Niobrara division of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley vond will be completed to Niobrara. This will conneet Omaha with Niobrara and establish a dire line from this city to Dakota, the importance of which will be fully appreciated by our business men. There is every reason to expect an early completion of this enterprise, which means very much more than its modest proportions would indicate. — TuEsk are the days of sham battles and militia encampments. At a sham battle fought at Peekskill, N. Y., last week the losses were ten men wounded, one of them dangerously. This leads the Now York World to in- quire what is the use of such silly work whieh ean serve noother purpose than to amuse a crowd of gaping idiots. The truth is that wne sham battle is a de- lusion aud & snave. It is no more like a real battle thrpsriding a hobby horse is like steople-chasing, or as the World puts it, the!%ilzz of a mosquito is like tho whizz of & blllet. The sham battle neither addy to the discipline of the soldier nor tg the dignity of his calling, and degonerabes the annual emoamp- ment into n nojey and useles powder- burning show. pppe————— SUGAR trust cortificates are said to be tho most aftiye securities in Wall stroot. Appprently speculation in sugar is based on pretty high expecta- tions, It is gfven out that the trust can earn one-quarter of a cent per pound, or something like thirty thousand dollars a day, on which the profits are equal to exactly fifteen thousand dollars a day. Buoyed up by these prospects, trust sugar cortificates have risen in the past month from ninety-four dollars per share to one hundred and twenty-six dollars, and fluctuate with exciting pre- cipitancy between these points daily. Looking at the speculative fever from the outside chere is every evidence that the trust has sweetened its loaves to perfection, for aftor all there is nophing like sugar to catch flies. A GREAT scandal is likely to be un- earthed in Colorado arising out of the peculation and misappropriation of funds by certain state officials and members of the last legislature. The treasury was evidently looted in & most shameful manner, and affairs were carried on with a high hand. While the charges of corruption have been brought to the attention of the grand jury and indict- ments against prominentofficials are ex- pected, itis questionable whether the arm of the law will be able to strike the guilty parties. Corruption is wide- spread in Colorado, and political influ- ence is already at work to hamper and break down the invesf ion. NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that seven-eighths of Uncle Sam’s pap stalls are occupied, the office-seeker who im- agines that his party services are so valuable as to entitle him to prompt at- tention and reward ispresent at Wash- ington in a large plurality.

The millenium of politics will be when the office seeks the man.

The controversial point of the new law seems to have boen the general coustruction placed upon the section fixing the amount of real estate a bank might own as an immedi- ate part of it oapital stock. Generally bankers construed the law to mean that a bank could own one-third of its capital stock in real estate, Tt scems, " snid one of the oxaminers, “that this is erroneous according to tho construc tion tho attorney general puts upon the la: and it is conceded to be clear and oxplicit.

The petitions set up that Lincoln is a city of the firsy class; that they are the owners of certain described property within the city limits; that 1n the fall of 1838 the streets adjacent to their property were cut_down to conform to what is known as the Rosewater grade to prepare for paving, under order and ordi- nance direction of the eity; that prior | thereto the relutors had set out and caused to be set ont shade and ornamental trees, and made other improvements, all of which ' were or will be destroyed by reason of com- | vliance with the order, and that such com- phance has or will damage them in the re- spective sums stated. They therefore pray judgment and costs of suit. Lively Strife Brewing, A day or two ago Church Howe met a del- egation of Lincoln citizens hero to see what could be done toward establishiug a depot on the Missouri Pacitic, for the convenience of the new Wesleyan and Christian universi- ties, or 80 it was given out. It leaks out to-day, however, that the delegation that waited on Mr. Howe was composed wholly of the friends of the former institution, among the number bomg T. F. Barnes and J. J. Imboff, and that tho meeting was wholly unknown to the friends of tho latter. It seems thay Mr. Barnes has 160 acres of 1and upon which he is very anxious to have the depot located. This the friends of the Christian university say is located too far from their campus to do them any good, and they are naturally opposed to it. The Missour: Pacific is the mainstay of tho Christian people for railway facilities, while tho Weslyan folks have the Burlington on tho north side, which is quite convenient for them. I the object of the conference of the dele- gation that waited on Mr. Howe,” remarked a gentleman connected with the interests at Bethany Heights, “was to scoure a depot for the benefit of both insututions, why is it that noue of our people were invited.

The opinion quite generally prevails that the court will hold the now [aw to bo coustitutional. A fow Lincoln lawyers, how- ever, think to the contr County Treasurcrs' Quandary. The late logislature passed an nct pro- viding that the state auditor should detach trom all bonds tne coupons falling due be- fore the levy can bo made to pay them. It will thus be seen that tho provision is made to protect the purchaser, for whore tho coupons are detached the purchaser knows what he is buying, otherwise the coupons would show shat thoy wore payablo atu cortain timo and the levy, aot huving boen made, it would bo a year from the time they became due before tho holders could ro ceive the interest on the detached coupons.
