THE offorts to secure & non-par Cronin jury having largely failed, Chi- eago is now bending her energics for a non-partisan judiciar, Tie democratic candidate for gov- ernor of lowa will no doubt be in a situa- “ion to give a very correct definition of the word ‘‘lonesome” after the election oceurs. THE Hualapai Indians threaten an eruption in Arizona. A poultice of government lead is the proper specific for the sweiling, and it should be promptly and vigorously applied. SAM SMALL has been disgusting Da- kota audiences for the sum of seventy- five dollars per mght. Leading prohi- bitionists say that he did their cause much harm and cancelled some of his engagements. WrrnixN a few weeks Omaha will have in operation one of the most complete systems of rapid transit on the conti- nent. The transition from the mule to the cable and electric motor ma v new era in the progressive march of the metropolis of the Missouri valley. THE honest county fathers will have to cudgel their brains a good deal be- tween now and the sitting of the grand jury to explain why they paid thirty— five cents per yard to one contractor for work which anotber contractor did willingly for tweive and one-quarter cents per yard IF A building which was originally contracted for at one hundred and twenty thousand dollars has already cost one hundred and fifty-eight thou- sand dollars, how much will be stolen from the county treasury by vhe time it is completed, with ten per cent of the work yeot to be done? HENRY VILL scheme to plaster the Northern Pacific property with a blanket mortgage for one hundred and sixty mil.ion dollars has collapsed. The directors fuiled to appreciate Henry’s enthusiastic promises of huge profits, and gave Villardism the second snub of the season. Avrnovan Ryan & Walsh got thirty- five cents per yard for work which was afterward done for twelve and one- fourth cents por yard, they have failed to settle with their sub-contractors. Thesn creditors, however, should not be too severe. They don’t know how much commisgion the firm was compelled to pay. SIDNEY DILLON declares that while hoe appreciates the importance of the Fort Worth & Gulf route, it is im- practicable to consolidate that road with the Union Pacific at this time. It by any means Dillon could find an opportunity to give Omaha a side swipe he would be willing to consolidate every- thing he possesses. —— NEW YORK now proposes to erect a monument to “Sunset” Cox. The de- sign will doubtless largely follow those already buily by the liberal New York- ers to Genera! Grant and George Wash- ington, Extravagance, 1n projecting monuments, and reckless haste in build- ing them, is the proverbial weakuess of New York millionaires. —— FIGURING upon the basis of an arti- cle written by General M. C. Meigs, on the future population of this country, the Kansas City Journal estimates that in 1960 that city will have a population of three million four hundred thou- sand, Upon o basis of the in- erease of Omahu's population, and its rapid advance on Kansas City during the last few years, it is safe to assert that at the time mentioned by the Journal, this city will haveat least half #amillion more inhabitants than the town on the Kaw, If you have any doubt on thatscore just wait and see. SECURITY FOR BANK NOTES. The convention of national bankers which will ineet in Kansas City to-mor- row will undoubtedly have some sug- gostion to make regarding & future se- curity for the eirculating notes of na- tional banks. Although it will be some years before the last of the government bonds representing the national debt will be redeemed, it is the opinion of most of those who desire the perpetua- tion of the currency feature of the na- tional bank system that the next congress should make provision for A mnew security, ns 8 substi- tute for the government bonds now pledged for the redemption of circulat- ing notes. The high premium which United States bonds comiand in the market is a partial check to the in- crease of national bank curroncy., Not- withstanding this deawback, and the uncertainty as to whether congress will provide ther security, one hundred and eighty-five new banks have been organized during tk welve months ended September 1, 1880, This indicates the strong hold the system has upon the confidence of the people. In the opinion of Comptroller Lacey, if it were not for the enforced purchase of bonds, the rate of increase of new banks would be at least doubled. Undoubtedly the president will recommend to congress some legislation on this subject, and any expression coming from the convention of bankers is likely to have n great deal of weight with the president as well as with con- gress. The Washington representative of THE BEE states on the au- thority of a treasury official that in all probability a two por cent bond as security for national bank circulation will be recommended. The official said that the most exper- ienced men in the departmont favor this proposition, and he believed the prosi- dent and secretary of the treasury will urge it. He also suggested that those interested should address their senators and representatives in congress and say what they wish done. A two per cent bond has been suggested before, with several pther expedients, among them that of making a certain class of state and municipal bonds the basis of security for national bank circula- tion, but all these propositions have en- countered more or less serious objec- tion. The last comptroller of the cur- rency gave carcful consideration to a variety of suggestions on this subject, but found nono that he could recom- mend. Those that were presented in congress received little favor. The pro- posal to create a new government bond for the sole purpose of supplying a busis forjnational bank circulation will be yery likely to meet with a great deal of op- position, on the ground that it would be a departure of questionable constitu- tionality. The subject is one of great importance, and the convention of bankers should have something clear and definite to say regarding it. THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE. The report of the acting commissioner of the general land office, justsubmitted to the secretary of the interior, shows that some reforms are urgently neode in the methods of conducting th ness of that office. The immedi decessor of the acting commissioner was a practical man, who has been credited with improving upon the ad- ministration of the commissioner whom he succeeded, but his efforts weremot equal to the task of plac the busi- nessof the office on a thorough busi- ness basis and recovering lost ground. Consequently the new administeation nherited a great accumulation of official worlk. much of which is still in arrears. The aecting commissioner ascribes this state of affairs partly toa lack of clerical force, and in a great part, also, to the prevalence in the office of mistaken methods and practices which have had the effect of obstructing rather than facilitating the proper transaction of business. It is a fact made familiar by the annual reports of sevaral comm sioners that the clerical force of the general lund office has not for years been suflicient to keep up with the de- mands upon the oflice, but congress has steadily refused to give this important part of the public service the relief it requived. Itis to be hoped the next congress will tako a more sensible and liberal view of the matter, for the very best business methods cannot be wholly successful witiout adequate means for carrying them out. There is no other office under the government where it is more important that business should be done promptly and expeditiously than in the general land office. Acting Commissioner Stone’s com- ments upon the course in certain’ re- spects of his immediate predccessors are not commendatory. One of his first acts was to abolish the board of review that had been created by Commissioner Sparks, and before which there were pending between seventeen and eigh- teen thousand cases. All these wero disposed of within little more than a month after the acting commissioner took charge. 'T'he policy instituted by Commissioner Sparks is discredited as the result of **his unwarranted and un- fortunate suspicion that a widespread system of fraud prevailed among claim- ants on the public domain requiring & prompt and heroic remedy,” and the acting commissioner states that during the few months of his connection with the duties of the office he foind no evi- dence of general misconduct on the part of western settlers, and failed to discover any general system of fraud upon the government pravailing in reference to the public do - main., Instances of attempted fraud are exceedingly rare. This is a ver gratifying statement, but before wholly condemuing Commissioner Sparks it 18 well to remember that his predecessor gave him warrant for a suspicion of widespread fraud, and it was the very gen eral public opinion that a system of frauds upon the government in counee- tion with the public lands had been practiced for years. This opinion was founded upoun the concurrent represen- tations of land agents, and while it may be conceded that these were some- what exaggerated, as was shown by subseguent investigation, it must also be grauted that there was excellent ground for the suspicion that a wide- spread system of fraud prevailed,and THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1889 strong reason for instituting reform. Whether the reformatory polioy adopted was the wisest and most judicious is another matter, but doubtless it was not | without good results, A great deal will be oxpected of the new commiesioner, Judge Groff, in the way of instituting a thoroughly practical administration of the general land office, but 1t is evident that ia order to properly carry out business methods congress will have to make more liberal | provision for that ofiice, B AN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN., The race after the World’s FFair has brought on an educational campaign. Every that ingenuity and imagination can contrive to impress the superiority of the respective claims of the great citics as the most desivable location has been pressed into the se vice; maps with cirel that show vopulation and industrial productiony railway maps and steamboat charts of air-lines by land and . have been lithographed, printed and attered in profusion. And while these fous maps are somewhat confusing, they are most decidedly instructive. And now com the St. Louis Republic, with an illus- trated map, which shows at a glance through St. Louis spectacles, the salient attrivutes and staples of the leading cities of the United States. According Republic, St. Louis possesses en= commerce, mannfacturesy wind, divorce, anarchists; ati. pork, music; Washington, politics uw, office-seekers; Philadel- phia, bricks, lore, commerce; New York, dirt, stingy plutocrats; Boston, art, beans, culture; New Orleans, cotton, heat, yellow fever; San Fraucisco, gola, Chinese, flons; Minneapolis, flour; St. Paul, ice palace, falls; Denver, scenery, loans, and Omaha, corn, live stock. The genius who contrived this re- markable map is entitled to some credit for originality, if not geographical and topographical knowleage. Omaha cer. tainly has no complaint to make. It takes hogs and hominy to feed the world, and Omaha is not ashamed to be advertised as the metropolis of the great corn belt. Art, culture, beans and lore will come to us in due tim Incident- ally we might remark that s €3 hibits surprising signs of vitality that promise to make her a future great i if not the greatest city of the fu- ture, wherever the world’s fair may be located. device maps, 08 Cineir MR. JONES OF FLORIDA. A Tlorida man by the name of Jones is in Omaha at present, for the purpose, as he says, of establishing o direct line of communication between this city and South und Central America via Tampa and Aspinwall. Mr. Jounes is full of enthusiasm on the subject, and will en- deavor to demonstrate to the board of trade that his ideas are practicable. If he can show that Omaha can gain any- thing by a co-operation and support of the scheme he will find plenty of en- thusiasm, and maybe some financial assistance in this city. Mr. Jones’ ini- tial or starting point appears to be that imports now carried on foreign ships and brought to this country in a round- about way should be imported divectly to the Uni States in American ships. ‘With direct railroad communications the cost of 1mports would be greatly lessened. Mr. Jones may most of the not bhe aware that articles imported from the South American coun- try are raw materi which vequire the refining and teansforming processof Buropean factories before they become marketable. If Mr. Jones will give us a plan whereby we can buiid factories to work up South American products, he will have presented a foun- dation upon which it may be all right to build the direct line from Omaha to South Ameriea. There is no use getting the cart before the horse. Possibly Mr. Jones’ study of the subject will afford a solution of the problem, and it is the duty of the board of trade to listen to his presentation of the matte nch elections on Sunday were decisive in establishing the fuct that Boulanger has ceased tobe a potential force in the pohtical affairs of the French republic. Ina large number of the divisions reballoting will be neces- sary, but under the least favorable re- sults to be looked for in these divisions the republicans will still have a safe majority in the chamber of deputies. The aspect of the situation must be regarded as altogether re- assuring to all those who have felt solicitude for the welfare of republican institutions in France. The elections were generally conducted with exceptional freedom from the demonstrations usual to French clections, thus evidencing the intense earnestness of the people, and the re- sult is a victory for patriotic devotion to the republic which will gratify all its friends. It is perhaps too much to hope that this renewed and overwhelm- ing condemnation of Bulangism will forever silence the persistent dem- agogue, but it will deprive him of all power for serious mischief. And with his overthrow several other interests whose hopes were dependent upon his success have also been routed. Mg, WALKER, of the inter-state com- merce commission, expresses the opinion that it is clearly within the province of congress to enact that automatic couplers and other safety appliances shall be used on freight cars engaged in inter-state commerce, Such a law is not an invasion of state rights, as some of the bourbon organs assert. 1 Tug I The inabii- ity of the states io act jointly in a me ure for the protection of railway em- ployes leaves no alternative but an ap- peal to congress for relief. Tae United States consul at Ottawa ofticially reports thar Canada sold the United States forty-two million five hundred and seventy-two thousand and sixty-five dollars’ worth of goods during last year, while this country sold the Dominion forty-eight thousand four hundred and cighty-one thousand and eight hundred and forty-eight dollars during the same period, The balance in our favor was therefore about six willion dollars. Cavada’s trade with Eugland during the same year was goods purchased about forty million dollars, and goods seld-to England forty-two | million ninet¥¥bur thousand and nine huudred and W dhiy-four dollars, or a balnnee againkt the mother country of about two millidn dollars. From this report it is sy to discern that our trade relations with Canada are more extensive thap Canada maintains with Lngland. Inotha light of these figures the ndvantages of annexation become manifest. e e . } AS BACH successivo year marks the improvement dnd development of the wost, this section of the country be- comes less dependent upon the east for banking facilities. The growth of in- torior depositories for private and pub- lic moneys has created important money centers in the westin which an abundance of money accumulates for moving the crops and supplying the mercantile demand for loans. As an evidence of this change New York monetary papers of recent date state that the current rate charged for money is but'slightly advanced over the sum- mer, a dull season rate. The importance of this mattor ean well be underswood by nearly every class of citizens, and it marks a very important period in the history and influence of the great and r west. Tre democrats display a good deal of assurance when they proclaim that they have a sure thing on the county offices. Do they imagine that the voters of Omaha are a herd of cattle,to be driven to the polls and voled at their bidding? Even if they had an honest majority in the county, the disgraceful, if noterimi- nal, mismanagementof county affairs by members of that party is suMcient to drive them from power. The people cannot countenance the reckless waste of their substance by incompetent offi- cials, or put a premium on dishonesty. THERE is reason to believe that the demands of Omaha jobbers for equal rights in freight rates will be granted by the railroads. The monopoly en- joyed by Chicago cannot be maintained much longer. She has enjoyed the favoritism of the railroads for years, and grown fat and arrogant on trade " which properly belongs to Mis- souri river cities. Railrond managers realize the injustice of this system, and cannot much longer delay the adoption of an equitable tariff to western points.

Fort Omaha, Sunday presented tho Sun- day appearance which charactorized it in the carly part of the present season—that is, be- fore the target practice at Bellevuo or the summer manwuvres at Fort Robinson, drew many of the men away from the beautiful and familiar spot.

A VERY EXCITING CONTEST. Emancipation Oeleoration at Fair- fleld Park—State Hounse Jot- tings—New Notaries Pub- lio—City Notes, 1020 P SThEET, LixcoLy, Neb., Sept. 28, At 2 o'clock sharp W, S. Hamilton, chair- man of the contral committee, called the re- publican convention of Lancastor county to order. IFrom early morning until that hour the factions were engaged in caucusing and making tie-uns, Interest seomed to center in tho fight for treasuror and sheriff. The frionds of Burnham and Cobb were confldent, and the sapporters of MoClay, Trompen, Smith and Hoxie were just as sanguine. Bohannon's hall was crowded long before the gavel fell calling to order. The buzz of hundreds of voices reminded one of the state convention held in this city a yoar ago. Ham ilton stated the purpose of the convention, and on motion w nominated and elected temporary chairman and Ed Sizer temporary secretary. Following the thanks chestnut he appointed K. N. Cobb, M. J. Aitkin, . J. Fiaherty, P. H. Watker, Phelps Payne, S. G. Whittaker, Charles Miller, Douglas Frve and C. J. Daubaugh, the committee on credentials, This led to immediate preparation for the real work of the convention, but the cast of the delegations entitled to seats occupied nearly an hour, On the fall of the gavel for order the second time E. P, Holmes nomin- ated Jesse B. Strode for permanent chair- man of the convention, but as no other nom- inations followed the anticipated fight for organization fell flat. M. L Aitken of the Fiftn ward, was elected secrctary, and Sam 'x')A Cox, of the Fourth ward, assistant secre- ary. Attorney Lambertson mowed that the nom- inations for county officers be mude without speeches. It carried with a whoop. Charley Hall moved that the chairman of each delegation annouuce the vote of his vrecinct or ward. Lambertson sought to amend so as to securo secret ballots. On passago the original motion was carried with choers. This was Cobb's death knell. In the order namea C. W. Grifith, Max Cobb, S. H. Burnham, J. H. Westeottand H, C. Reller were put in nomination for treas- urer, Five ballots were taken with varying results, On the sixth, however, the grand break came. Westcowt withdrew aud the field centered on S. H.

I have seen reports of analysis made of the Ivory Soap by men eminent in our profession, and all pronounce it to contain no ‘free alkali,’ to be made with great care and of ma- terials of the best quality, carefully sclected, so I unhesitatingly rec- ommend it for every purpose about the house for which good soap is required.” A WORD OF WARNING, There are many white soaps, each represented to be “just as good as the ‘Ivory'; ™ they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine, Ask for “Ivory"" Soap and insist upon getting it.
