The people of the two Dakotas, Wash- fugton and Montana will to-day perform the final act in the work of creating these four new states. They will elect ate officers, legislatures which are to choose United States senators, repro- sentatives in congress, and adopt or ro- ject the constitutions submitted to them. There 18 no doubt whatever that all the elections will result in the adoption of the proposed organic laws. The campaigns in the new states have been conducted with a great deal of spirit: and vigor, and while there is no fecling of uncer- tainty rogarding the result, excopt as to Montana, it will nevertheless be awaited with very general interest by men of both political parties. There has never been a question regavding the success of the republicans in the Dakotas. and as they made concessions to the Farmers’ alliance and the prohi- bitionists their majovity in both states ought to be materially incren In North Dakota the Farmers’ ance virtually named the head of the ticket, John Miller, who, howover, is generally popular and a man of first rate abilit The candidate con- gressan North Dakota is Mr. Hans- brough. who was o delegate to the last republican national convention, and is a gentleman of good ability and general popularity. South Dakota has two rep- ssontatives in congress, and they will be the republican candidates, Gifford and Pickler. The candidate for gov- ernor, Avthur C Mellette, is one of the most popular men in South D lkota, and will very likely receive sor vote than any other candidate. he question of constitutional prohibi- tion hus been prominent in the eam- paigns of the Dakotas, and in both it will be separately voted on to-day. Tts success in North Dakotas regarded as ssured. but the result in South Dakota uncertain, though the chances are belioved to bo most favor- abie to prohibition carrying. In Wasbington the vepublican cand date for governor is 5. P. Ferry, who went from Itllinois to the ter- ritory some twenty years ago with an appointment from General Grant, und was subsequently te reitorial He enjoys the confidence of the people to an tioral extent,and his election by a large majority i fidently expected.

Iis considered absolutely certain, The latost trastworthy infor- ion from thostate of Washington in- » thut the republicans will elect their candidates for state officers, con- gressman, and a mujority of the legislu- ture. The cort for somewhat governor, con Congross, clection is ma dic situation in Montana is one of un- iuty, but the outlook is not aito- gether discouraging to the hope of re publican success. The election is sure to be close, and the probabilicy is that both parties will get something out of the result. The election of the ropub- lican candidate for congress is regardod v certain, and the chances are thought to rather favor: to the repabl curing o major- ity of the legislature. Republican success throughout, however, would not be greatly surpeising, althos it is not expuected, The seautorial contests in all the new states possess a great deal of intere I is conceded that ex-Governor Pier will be one of the United Stutes sena- tors from North Dakota, and the other seat will probably go either to ex-Gov- ernov Ordway or General Havrison Allen, though there are other aspirants. [n South Dakota the probahle choice for senators will be Pettigrew and Moody, though REdgerton has not _aban- doned the contest. There ure half a dozen aspirants for the United States souate in Washington, with the chances appavently most fa- vorable to H. M. Cannon, a millionaire banker of Spokane Falls,and Watson C. juire, n wealthy citizen of the western part of the state. In Montana the most prominentrepublican candidates for the national sonate are W. A, Snunders and L. M. Hirsch(icld, and the most promi- nent democratic candidates are W. I, Clarke, of Butte, and Colonel flouser, of Melena. . It app s cortain that in the four new states will resultin add- ing to republican strength in congress six senators and four vepresentativ and it would not surprising if it should be increased by eight of the for- mer and iive of the latter, as reasonal be e cans the elections be TUE AMERICAN CONGIE The congress of American nations which will meet 1n Washington to-mor- row is unguestionably an event of ver great importance. Whether our peo- ple fully appreciate this or not, the peovle of Europe, or at least the com- mercial interests of the old world, ce tainly do. the acceptance by the countries of South and Central Amer- jca of the invitation to this congress, and the growth of wterest in it on the of those strongly apparent, there been a distinet manifestation of apprehension and alarm by Europena commercial interests, They have shown that they regard the movement contemplated by this ngross as a most serious menace to their continued supremacy in the trade of Amorican countries, which is of more vaiue to Eu- vope than all the remaining markets of the world, They undorstand that although the immediate results of this may not be all that its most sanguine promoters hope for, it is a step in the direction of an ultimate commercial nnion be- between Amcrican countries which would bring great damage to European interests that have long found their greatest gains in American markets. ‘The note of alarm sounded by the most influential journals of Europe should suggest to our people something of the real character and significance of this congress, for it isnotto boassumed that the alarm came unprompted from the oditors who have proclaimed it. It may be that the expressed appre- hension of the statesmen and the 20 m- mercial interests of the old world are exnggerated, but when the proportions becameo has countries congress THE of the great prize at stake are consid- ored there is obvious reason why there should be solicitude among those who now possess it almost entire respecting an offort of the United States to at lenst fairly share it with them. What that prize is will be appreciated when it is stated that last year the nations to the south of the United States imported merchandise to the value of four hun- dred and fifty million dollars, and that of this England, France and Gor- many got eighty-nine por cent, leaving the beggarly sum of only ecleven per cent to the United Statos. While this country takes from the other American countries a large part of the commodities thoy sell, it re- turns to them onlv a very small fraction of what they buy., Whatover may bo the explanation of this state of affairs, it is undeniably a condition which it is most desirable and necessary to change, and which it is believed ean be changed to the material advantage of all Ameri- can countries, This is the prime and greatly important purpose of the con- that will assemble in Wash- ington to-morrow. There is abundant evidence that the delegates from other countries are generally in very hearty sympathy with it. The congress will be notable for the Uy high character of thie quali- fications of the men who will compose it. Tho ten representatives of the United States are well-informed and practical men—merchants, manufacturers and lawyers. The other American coun- trics wiil be represented generally by men of conspicuous ability, and it need havdly be said that these countries have men who rank as publicists and econ- omists with the ablest in the United States or uny other country. There ave statesmen of no mean quality in the coun- tries to the south of The congress will simply organize to-morrow.

The bar of this city, which practically means the barof the district, has des- ignated their preference for a suceessor of Judge Groff. Their choice has fallen upon Mr. Joseph E. Clarkson, whose standing as a citizen and as an attorne; is unimpeachable. While Mr. Clark- son is not a professional politician, ho and always has been a stannch republi- can. It od on all hands that Mr. Clarkson is eminently qualified for the distriet benen, and his popularity with the bar attests that he is vespected by his professional associates. The beneh of this district has up to this time inspired confidence and re- spoct. Our judges, from Lake to Groff, have been men of character and unques- tioned integrity., The precedent here- tofore established to endorse by non- partisan popular vote the choice of the bar, should be adhered to in the choice of a of Judge Grofl. Any attempt to repudiate this choice should be discouraged and discountenanced. The democratic party ecunnot con- sistently refuse to endorse Mr. Clarkson, without repudiating its leaders in this distriet, who have always proclaimed their willingness to divide the district judgeships with the republican party. The republicans cannot afford to with- hold endorsement of Mr. Clark son without stultifying themselv seriously impairing is conee successor s and the success of their county ticket, M wkson will nov cense to be a republican by having the endorsement of the democrats, and any attempt to foist any other candidate upon republicans, would only be throw- ing a fire-brand to disrupt the party. All the talk about ignoring the claims of candidates in other counties is mere rot. Judge Groff was an Omaha man and his successor very properly will be an Omaha man. With ninety per cent of the business and fifteen times the population in this distriet, Douglas county 1s fairly entitled to three outof the four jud When Judg Hop Us term expires it will be time enough for aspivants in Burt, Sarpy and Washington counties to enter the field and contest his seat, THE CORN SURPLT There is & deluge of suggestions and a paucity of practical means offered the farmers of the west just now as to the best plan for profitably disposing of the corn surplus, The present condition of the markot not encourt the hope of high prices. In fact, the ten- dency is to lower prices, and by the time the new crop begins to move, prevail- ing prices ave likely to fall to a point which will make it unprofitable to ship, The latest statistics place the crop in Nebraska at one hundred and seventy-five million bush- cls, or an average of thirty-eight bushets to the acre. This isa substan- tial increase over the crop of 18588, If we add the product of Kansas and Towa, the total reaches the enormous figure of seven hundred and sixty million bush- els. Statistics from other great corn- producing states, such as Missouri,. Illi- noig, Ohio and India and from states producing less than one hundrod mil- lion bushels, vlace the crop of corn in the country at over two and w quarter billion bushels, an increase of two hun- dred and eighty millign bushels over the crop of 1888, nless prevailing conditions vadically change, this enormous increase in the corn crop will seriously affect the mar- ket pric There is no prospect of an increase in the European demand and farmers must look to home chan- nels for velief. Eastern farmers have no great difficulty to contend with in reaching markets and obtaining a re- munerative price, but in Nebraska and other sections of the west the profit on cornis absorbed in reaching market. The present price of old corn through- out the state will hardly average twenty cents a bushel. Assuming that thirty-eight bushels is the average pro- duction per acre, one hundred means seven hundred und sixty dollars, No one can say that this meagre sum is a fair return on the money and labor in- vasted. It is useless to talk of factories as an avenue of retief. Even if a score of them could be built and put in opera- tion this winter, the amount they would consume would scarcely make an doe acres OMAHA DAILY BEHE: TUESDAY impression on ' the total. Thore are other and more direct means by which western farmérican turn their corn to profitable account, and the principal ono is to turn it into beot and pork. The profits dorived from corn-fod stock are too well known to require an explana- tion. It been one of the chiel sources of profit to our farmers since the establishment of convenient home markets Conditions are extremely favorable to this method of disposing of the surplus crop. The destructive summer drought which lightened the ranges of Mon- tana, northern Wyoming and portions of Colorado will undoubtedly glut the market with range stock and force prices far below those now prevailing. Stockmen 1n these sections have no other avenue of escape. The grass on the ranges was scarcely sufficient to support the herds, and they are not in coudition to stand the rigors of a severo winter, which is generally expected. There fiftean million dollars in- vestéd in stock in Montana alone, and overy marketable animal will be shipped out this fall. Advices from other sections agree that the hords willbe reduced to the lowest possible number, as the owners will not run the risk of winter range foeding. “Itisan ill wind that blows nobody good.” If Nebraska farmers take advantage of this condition of affairs, and purchase young stock for winter feeding, it will go far to solve the surplus problem. The present low price of beef on hoof in- sures a substantial advance in spring, and with the increased we which proper feeding will produce, farmers would realize handsomely on the investment. has are Our distinguished English gucst, Sir Edwin Arnold, during his recent visit at the white house, expressed a senti- ment which the people of this nation should thoughtfully and immediately consider. Upon being told that various plans were being mooted for the en- largement or conversion of the oxecu- tive mansion, he expressed a wish that the structure might be left substantiatly untouched; that the building, while not ancicnt in the European sense, was fuil of historic interest to the Americin peo- ple. 1t should be cherished and pro- sorved so long as time permitted, that our people might look upon the very scenes and surroundings amid which President Jackson had done such bold work for the union and President Lin coln had poadered upon and exccuted the immortal proclamation of emuncipa- tion. He feaved that a people so voung and ardent as the Americaus might undervalue the historical monu- ments associated with their early years, that their posterity, if permitted, will hold priceless. If we needed admon- ishing in this matter, these words of a passing guest should be heeded The “white house” is the most historvie edi- fice the nation possesses, and its present proportions, which have vemained almost the same for so many y should be kept inviolable for the gou- erations to come. Let the government build a new structure at most any ex- pense rather than to desecrate the old mansion by adding to or taking from. Ars, WrrimiN the next three weeks the Umion Pacific will have absolute con- trol of a railroad system from Omaha to Portland, Ore., together with import- ant branches in Montana and Washing- ton territory, Thisis due toalease made by the Oregon Railway & Navigation company to the Oregon Short under the teems of which the latter company agrecs to pay six per cont per annum on the stock of the former cor- poration. Tt is thought that under the new acrangement the affaivs of both companies ean be more economically conducted and better profits realized. The system is already earning a sur- plus over its fixed charges. and under thi ngement the Union Pacific proper will be released from any obli gation on account of its western lines. With such extra facilities for compe- tition with the Northern and Central Pacific roads the Union Pacific may add to its gross and net earnings, which ave at present said to be larger than at any previous time during its history. iine, A MILITARY commission has been appointed to investigate the cause of army desertions, which have grown to alarming proportions. One of the principal causes of desertion is the fact that men nre accepted while in a maudhn condition or while laboring under severe mental strain bordering on insanity. Another is the petty tyreany of subordivate officers, In hundreds of instunces enlisted wen are compelled to perform menial work for officers and their wives. Refusal means a term in the guaed house.
