THE return of Commissioner Turner from New York once more reunites Douglas county’s happy family. Now let the committee report upon the alleged vault steal. TrE Chicago papers have condensed their usual flings at St. Louis to make room for long-winded editorial blows at New York. This is as it should be—an even match or no fight. IN its wild desire to make a reputation asamonopoly fighter,the Kepublican hits out blindly at the local management of the Western Union Telegraph company. But, sad to relate, the premise had no bottom, Tue work of the delegates to the con- stitutional conventious in the four new states is about over and now they will return to their respective constituen- cies to be patted affectionately on the back for well merited praise. JUsT because a petrified hand clench- ing a fistful of diamonds is said to have been found near Kearney, it is not noc- essary to herald Nebraska abroad as a new diamond field. Better than all the diamonds and rubies in the world is the great corn crop which will be gath- ered in this state this fall, THE lead ore problem in which the people of Wyoming, Colorado, Mon- tana and [Jtah are deeply interested still sits heavily upon the shoulders of the assistant secretary of the Lreasu Since the 15th of May he has had the question under advisement, and as yet has given little wndication of arriving at a conclusion, A great mass of testi- mony has been brought to his attention, and it ig this evideuce that he is teying to digest. Probably by the time con- gress nssombles an answer will be given turning the solution of the problem over to that body. THE suspicion 15 well grounded that the gobbling up of Omaha’s river front by officials of the Union Pacific and Burlington railroads is not without meoificance. It is all very well for them to make glittering promises of ex- tensive improvements on the bottom lands for manufacturing, warehousing and stovage purposes. The truth of the matter is, however, that their scheme 18 nothing more nor less than an at- tempt to prevent the erection of another railroad bridge across the Missouri within the corporate limits of the city. Their mask is altogother too transpur- ent. The building of a new railroad bridge is an imperative necessity and cannot bo prevented by any such con- spirucy. OMAIA’S growth in population dur. ing four years past has few parallels in American history., The inerease of her umportance as a jobbing and financial center has been the warvel of the com- mercial world; her architecture has leapod from the cradle of village simplic- ity into full equality with any western oity. All this is gratifying, because it is the result of » kind providence, nat- ural advautages of location, und al- mighty hard work. But there is the future to look to. No man can measure the limits of Omaha two decades hence. It isn’t worth time spent to try it; but if every man will do his utmost for the public good, let him be assured he will also be doing the most for his private well-being. THE COMMISSION'S SUCCESS. The reports from Standing Rock and Cheyenne agencies indicate that the opening of the great Sioux reservation is nssured. [Latest advices announce that the requisite mumber of names have boen secured to make up a total of three-fourths of all the Indians compe- tent to vote on the proposition,and that signatures are still being added, both at these and othor agencies. The conclusion of the work of the commission calls for comment on the difficulties which it has experienced and the means finally adopted to sur- mount them, The primal trouble was caused by the secret chicanery of the hand of so-called Indian philanthro- pists in the east, whose sentimental ro- gard for the impossible Indian has balked for years every offort made to reduce the Indian problem to a soluble equation. That pious fraud, Dr. Bland, who has acted as a professional philanthropist and persistent claim agent for Red Cloud and his lost ponies, in which he is said to have had a half interest, blocked the way first at Pine Ridge agency and seriously menaced the sue- cess of subsequent negotiations. The squaw men, half-breeds and agency cof- fee coolers were persistent opponents of any settlement of the reservation question which might force them to give up the lariat for the plow or the six shooter for the school. Added to these disturbing elements was the clause in the bill indemnifying the Ogallala Sioux for losses in the war of 1876 and excluding consideration of the claims of other tribes. Local jealousy was the natural consequence. The part played by the military por- tion of the commission was an interest- ing and suggestive one. General Crook’s influence, as expected, was pow- erful, but it seemed necesst later to reinforce it by the sistance of Captain Randall, who was called post haste from Arizona to use his argumentative powers among the tribes with whom he was once so popular and persuasive, The congres- sional oratory of Major Warner and the dime novel flights of Governor Foster appear to have had less weight with Gall and his band than the sententious remarks of the grizzled veteran of a hundred Indian fights, while the quiet man to man work of Captain Randall rapidly changed opposition to advoeacy. The news of the commission’s success will be received with general congratu- lation throughout the northwest. It means the final removal of a barrier which for years has prevented the de- velopment of eleven millions of acres of land with which the red soil of Oklahoma can brook as little comparison as that of eastern New Hampshire with Nebraska. The throwing open of the great reserve means in addition the peopling of a neighboring frontier with thousands of hardy settlers who will be largely tributary to ebraska’s trnde centers. Omaha has a peculiar and overmastering interest ia a territory which she will be able to coutrol just in proportion to the wants of its population and the push. vigor and enterprise of her mer NEBRASKA POLITIC. It is predicted that the coming repub- lican state convention will be the most exciting ever held in Nebraska in an off year. This unusual interest will not be on account of the offices to be immedi- ately filied, but because of the bearing which the selection of the candidates will have on the gubernatorial cam- paign a year from this coming fall. The preliminary skirmish is already on, al- though the date of the convention has not yet been fixed. The state committee meets in Omaha this evening and will decide where the convention shall be held. While the choice of the convention city may not have any political significance, still it red that the efforts made by stings to secure the gathering are in the interest of General C. J. Dil- worth as a candidate for justice of the supreme court. This, how- ever, those who favor Hastings deny, and General Dilworth has emphatically stated that he is not a can- didate and that “‘no valid objections have been given why Judge Reese should not be returned to the place he has faithfully filled.” In spite of this declaration by Judge Dilworth, there are those who believe he will be pushed by the railroads for the seat on the supreme bench. Both Judgo Hamer and Judge Post are also openly in the field and in case of Dilworth’s failure to secure the prize, one or the other will undoubtedly receive the hearty support of the railroad cohorts. The plans above outlined are alleged to be but ascheme in the interest of General A, H. Connor, of Kearney, who is afflicted with a severe case of guber- natorial fever. They are, however, tiable to fall through. It is too early in the season, considering the number!ess candidates who are willing and anxious to serve Nebraska in the capacity of governor, to fix a slate which can not be smashed before a year and a half rolls round. STUFFED CLEARINGS. The clearings of the associated banks of the United States are published in the Commercial and Financial Chronicle, the standard and reliable authority on financial matters in this country, and the figures as published are correct and properly grouped. But these figures under analysis prove the incorrectness of the old adage that **figures won't lie,” because in this instance they are mis- leading. Kansas City reports clearings for the week ending July 27, $7,634,711. Omaha reports $4,; 1, indicating that Kan- sus City’s trade for that week was as 715 to 4 agaiost this city. To make proper und correct deductions it should be borne in mind that Kansas City stuffs its clearings, frst, with the busi- ness of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway company, which belongs to Topeka, where the head- quarters of the road are located and where its deposits should be made and cleared. Through the influence of Kansas City bankers, however, the re- ceipts of that h rporation, amouuting to over three-quarters of a million weekly, are sent as received in the company’s safos to Kansas Clty and go to swell the business of the banks there. Then, again,the packing house business of Kansas City is done through the banks of that burg. whereas tho business of Omaha’s packing houses is done through the branch banks (at South Omaha) of the First National and Omaha National, of Omaha, and as most of this business can be cleared by mes- sengers between these two branches, it does not come to the clearing house here. On this Omaha loses about eight hundred thousand dollars per weok in the clearings footing. Then, onco more, itis well known in banking circles that the cashiers of the Kansas City banks, aware of the decadence of their city, are in the habitof holding cashiers’ checks received in settlement at their cloaring house till next day and passing them through again, instead of obtain- ing the currency from debtor banks by messenger. Omaha also stands lower in the clear- ing house tables by the loss of much of the smelting works business, which amounted to ono and a half millions per month, the greater bulk of which does mnot pass through the clearing house for the reason thut the smelting works company deposits with the bank through which nine-tenths of the col- lections upon the company are made, and the drafts are simply charged up and do not go through the clearings. In these divers ways Omaha loses in the estimation of those at a distance who are wont to estimate the activity prevailing in commercial circles by the footings rendered from the clearing houses of the respective cities inter- ested, and it is just as well that it be understood that the clearings here show less while her neighbors show more than the fa Visitors to both Kansas City and Omaha are not slow, however, to express the opinion that this city is going to the front as a commercial center faster than Kansas City is retrograding, and we know that we are getting to the front very rapidly. AMERICAN SHIPPING INDUSTRY. It may occasion some surprise vhat American citizens have gradually gamed a controlling interest in the groat Inman line of transatlantic steamships. In fact, but a small portion of its stock is now owned on the other side of the water, elthough the line is sailed under the British flag. The re- vival in shipping interests during the past year or two all over the world has been phenomenal. Ocean trafilc has called into service all kinds of bottoms, especially steamships, and rates have doubled and trebled as compared with the rates of a fow years ago. Capital has naturaily been attracted to steamship building and sailing, and the monster floating pal- aces turned out by the foreign ship- yards attest the profitableness of the business. There is little question that the ship- ping interests of America would have been materially advanced to-day were it not for the fact that for years this country has been handieapped in its ability to compete with the Scotch and English in the building of iron ships. 1jurious shipping laws which for- bid the sailing of a foreign built ship under the American flag have likewise contributed in depressing the industry, and in driving the American jack from the high Happily there are signs which indic that America will soon take her p again among the maritime nations of the earth. The impetus given to ship building by the government in the con- struction of steel-armored sQips of war has demonstrated the ability of our ship yards to cope with the best on the Clyde and Thames. Capitalists have been quick to recognize this advantage, and the chances are that within a short time large orders will be placed for the building ot fleets of American steamers for transatlantic traffic. A project has beon announced in maritime circles for the operation of a fast steamship line between England and the United States. Mr. Austin Corbin is at the head of this enter- prise, and the preliminaries are said to be already arvanged. Such a line would be the pioneer of similar steamship companies and would induce confidence in the iron industry such as 1t has not enjoyed for many u THE PRE! President Harrison started yestorday on his trip to the Maine coast, where he will spend some time in courting the sea breezes and visiting Mr. Blaine amid the rocks and tidesof Bar Harbor. It is significant of the high pressure of executive life thav the president finds it impossible to leave behind him official cares even for a few wecks, and that he travels pursued by the impor- tunities of seekers after office, and ac- companied by his secretaries and boxes of tape-tied documents. His last moments belore leaving Wash- ington were devoted to interviews with politicians, and it is safe to assume that almost his fiest in Maine will be spent in consideration of consular claims. In- deed, we are informed that much of the delayed business of the state depart- ment will be finally disposed of when the president and Mr. Blaine are able to put their heads together and discuss the official matters which have been accumulating for the past month in the files of the department of state. The situation in Hayti, the Beh- ring sea troubles, and the approaching congress of the three Americas will all come up for consideration, together with the claims of a number of Ameri- can citizens in Cenuvral America for indemuity for damage to property. Half a hundred consulates remain to be filled and the extra session problem is to be definitely determined. Altogether, President Harrison will have to combine a great deal of busi- ness with his pleasure, He found it im- possible to flee from its consideration at Deer Park,among the Alleghenies, He will find it equally impracticable to elude it on the sea washed crags of Maine. The importunities for office, the demands of executive functions and the clamors of pressing affairs of state must be with him wherever he goes. Under our system of govern- ment, especially at the inception of a new administration, the veriest drudg chained t6"af" office desk is less driven with work land responsibility and har- assing carés than the chief executive of the nationy; Congress may adjourn and congressmon jaunt on junkl'ling trips to Alaskd ‘4nd the isles of the son; may inpestigate railroad relations through psrti-colored wine glasses or inspect for, the hundredth time the wonders ofs westorn scenery with inci- dental reférence to ce car irriga- tion and exterior water storage. But the presidént in his very r 100 is shadowed Yy official responsibility and dogged by the cry of hungry office seek- ers, be his resting place the White House or the train, the mountains or the sea. R THE first annual cavalry competition for the department of Dakota, the Platte and the Columbia, which takes place this week at the Bellevue rifle range, will excite the interest of the army all over the United States. The practice includes a week of known dis- tance firing and skirmish firing and a week of competition firing with car- bine and revolver. This isa distinetly new feature in army practice, the re- sult of which will be closely followed. If successful there is little doubt but that its scope will be enlarged and its importance will be duly magnified. To both officers and men in the cavalry service, the competition can not fail to be of great value. Not alone will it raise their efficiency, but will kindle that enthusinsm and that esprit de corps which so much distingushes the foreign service. The competition of the infantry rifle practice just closed at Bellevue has been eminently satis- factory, and there is every reason to be- lieve that the marksmen in the cavalry will distinguish themselves in no less degree. EMIGRATION to the United States has perceptibly fallen off within the past few months, contrary to general expec- tations. For the month of July the number arriving at Castle Garden was less than twenty-five thousand, just four thousand short of the record for the corresponding time last year. The cause of this diminution is traced to the great efforts made by various countries to divert emigration to their own col- onies. England offers extra induce- ments to her immigeants to go to Aus- tralia or Canada, while Germany is actually sending out hersurplus popula- tion to colonize her possessions in Africa. The tempting offers of the South Amer- ican republios have drawn thousands of Italians in that direction and the chances are that America’s record for the year will show a marked decrease all around. PHILADELPHIA presents some inter- esting figures toliching on the number of arrests made in that city for the year ending June 1, 1889. It appears that the decrease as compared with the twelve months, preceding was no less than eight thousand five hundred. The reason for this improvement in the moral tone of the people is credited to the operatious of high license. Under the old system of low license, an ex- ceedingly large number of saloon flourished, especially in the poorer quarters of the city. The operations of high license cut down fully one-third and raised the standard of the saloons now in operation. There may, of course, be other grounds for explaining the diminution of crime in that ey, but the one in question is certainly the most reasonable TiE success of the Gentiles in carry- ing the municipal election in Salt Lake is of more than local interest. It is the first time in the history of the city that the control of its affairs will pass out of Mormon hands. Although numerically in the majority, the anti-polygamy laws have disfranchised so many Mormons that the victory of the Gentiles was al- most a foregone conclusion. There is consequently great cause for rejoicing, as it indicates that Salt Lake, for the present, at least, is not to be dominated by church influence, which has been such a powerful factor 1n retarding its growth and importance. Judging from the effect of Gentile suprema den, Salt Lake is likely to experience a revival in business and to push its way rapidly to the front. Crries are now learning the value of franchises for street railways and like privileges, and many are adopt- ing the policy of selling them to the highest bidder, or exucting a bonus for certain rights and grants. This by no meaus indicates that by the sale, such cities part with their right of super— vision and control. On the contrary, the charters granted to corporations and syndicates for a valuable consideration bind them under greater restrictions than when such franchises are given for the asking. The determination of Cleve- land, O., to exact a bonus hereafter for rights-of-way on the streets of that city will be watched with interest. A large revenue from various sources will inure to the city’s benefit without in the least affecting the legitimate profits of com- panies holding such franchises.

Lady Cork, writing of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob, as a type of the worldly- wise woman of the present ddy, says of the lattor: “She will bear us no enmity, wish us no evil, and it may be, evince a certain weasure of friondliness; but let the moment arrive when from force of circumstances we lie in her path, and from that moment our doom is sealed. Close relationship will not avail, long intimacy will not serve, utter helplessness not protect us; relentlessly and stealthily the worldly-wise woman will glide on her tortuous way, leaving those who confided in her betrayed like Kebekah's sightless husband and like her eldest son.' The Countess of Cork seems to understand it all. A California letter tells of a widow in Southern California who Las just sold her orange crop for $16,000. Mrs. E. S.
