CicaGo, like Omaha, 1s overwhelm- ingly in favor of a non-partisun judi- cinry. Every effort of the county board to reform its business methods plunges it deeper in the mire. THERE is no da that the demo- crats will improve on the republican ticket. The habit of blundering is too strong to be uprooted. — THe reorganization of the Omaha real estate exchano indicates that city proverty still an object of dis- tinguished consideration. HERETOFOL 1l hotel schemes started in Omaha went down. It would be an agreeable surprise if the present one went up, for o change. Tt teibutes paid to the memory of S.S./Cox by the New York democracy are shared by all who honor character and personal worth in public station. Mr. Cox represented not only a district of New York. but the entire country, and the masses of the people never had a more intelligent and energetic repre- sentative. SECRETARY LAWS is hopelessly searching an unabridged eodition of Webster to define his position in the congressional race. 1f he will consult the second column of page three hun- dred aud forty-seven, paragraph twen- ty-two, he will secure an advance pho- tograph of his political condition. Tie railing and ridicule of the mon- archial press of Burope will not have a feather’s weight in changing the plans of the Three Americas’ congress. The republics of the western hemisphor have demonstyated their ability to take cave of themselves in uny field of action, and the dissent of bayonet-braced throues will serve to knit move firmly together the governments “of the peo- ple, by the people and for the people.” SENATOR CASPE the , of Butler county, is democratic unominee for con in the Second district., Mr. Casper has proved himself in many trying contests to be an unflinching friend of the people, honest and up- right, strong in his [riendships and unbending as a foe. If the republicans nominate a corporation dummy like Laws. they may find Mr. Casper a hard man to beat. WitiLe the total yield of gorn exceeds that of last year by over one hundred miliion bushels, the condition of the crop on the Ist of October was a fraction - of oue per cent below that of 1888. The government report shows that the best development of the crop was in the Mis- souri valley, a fact which did not re- quire ofticial verification, The surpris- ing feature of the report is that Ne- braska, which makes no pretention as a wheat rasing state, shows a greater yield perucre than Dakota and Cali- fornin, and crowds New York and Penn- sylvaniu for tenth plac Tn 1880 there were one hundred and forty-two cotton mills in operation in the southern states. At prosent there are three hundred and eighty-nine. The increase of consumption of raw ma- terial per mill has been proportionately greater. The enterprises have paid an average dividend on the capital in- vested of at least nine per cent per annum. Thoe tendency in all lines of manufacture in this country has been to concentrate the factories at the base of supphes. England will necessarily have to go out of cotton manufacturing, and before maay years the New England states pioneers in this branch of indus- try will have to succumb to the inevit- able and leave the field to the south, just aus the east hae lately been compelled to turn over the reduction of silver ores to the west. So long as @otton goods remain a staple article of trade the prosperity of at least a con- sidevable portion of the south is as- suved, SENATORS FROM THE NEW STATES. Attention s called to one fact con- nocted with the from the new states to which little con- siderition has boen given. 1 s to the term of office of the senators chosen. 1t appears that it will not be ! election of senators | This re- | possible for the legistatures of the now | the length of the ed States son- and states to determine term of office of the Uni ators they may elect, the seuntors chosen cannot know what length of term they will serve until they are classified as re- that | quired by section three of article one of | the constitution. Thatarticle provides for the division of the eenators as equally ns may be into three clussc ““['he sents of the senators of the first | class shall be vacated at the expir: of the second year, of the second ¢ at tho expiration of the fourth year, and of the third class at the expiration of the sixth year, so that one-thivd may be chosen every second year.” In accord- ance with this provision the classifica- tion of the senutors of the first congress was made by lot. In the case of the senators from tho new states it will be necessary for the genate to distribute them according to the existing classification. The senate now consists of seventy-six mombers, of whom there are twenty-five of the first class whoso terms will expire Mavch 4, 1803, twenty-six of the second cias whose terms will expire March 4, 1895, and twenty-five of the third ciass whose terms will expive March 4, 1801, Of course the ators from the same state nre always in different clusses, for example, Senator Paddock being in the first class and Senator Munde gon in the second cluss. The nadition of eight new senators, making the mem- bership of the senate cighty-four, will give twenty-cight members to each cluss,und ultimately the new -enators will be equally divided amoug th.e threo cla: The distribution or classification of the new senators will be materially af- fected, it appears; by tho eircumstance of their presentation at the beginning of cong Thus if only one state shall present it tors at the opening of or it but twoof the new senutors appenr together, it is supposed that they would be as- signed to the first und third classes, owing to the fuct that the second class numbers twenty-six and it would be necessary to equalize the classes o But in the event of the entire cight new senators preseuting them- solves at the same time the cbnditions would be different, and a way would have to be devised by the senate for as- signing them to the several classe The obvious fact is that none of the senators from the mnew states can be certain when elected whether his term will be for two, four or six years, provided all of the states shall send their senators at once, and it is equally clear thyt in ovder to distribute the eight new senators so as to equalize the there can be only two of thom whose terms will be for six years. Three of the new states will be com- pelled to content themselves with one senator cach whose. term will expire Mareh 4, 1891, congress, mer- 1eally. classes LAST CALL. | Mr. Coburn still insists that the re- publicans of Douglas county must give him a vindication by electing him toa third term, Ii M. Coburn would heed the coun- sel of disinterested men whoare not un- friendly he would not tempt the fates and play the role of the bull that planted himself in front of the advaucing loco- motive. But like other men who have fed for twenty years at the public crib, Me. Coburn imagines that he is born to hold office for life. He gets his inspira- tion for staying on the track from a horde of hungry deputies, builiffs, pro- fessional jurymen and barnacies who hang avound the court house. They want him to run even if ho goes down in disgraco and spends cvery dollar that he has laid up. There is stitl time for Mr. Coburn to give way to some republican who can be elected. Butif he insists on wrec ing the party,in order to show that he has become indispensable as sheriff, he will only have himself to blame if he gets worsted in the encounter with the ballots. THE SUBSIDY HUN1TERS. There is a great deal of fear profossed in certain quarters that the conference of the Americas will degenerate into a mere instrument of the steamship subsidy advocates. ‘T'he fact that most of the representatives of the United States to the conference are understood not to be hostile to subsidies, that Mr. Blaine in his address to the conierence laid stress upon the necessity of increas- ing the means of intercommunication, and that there have been other expres- sions apparenily designed to give n boom to the subsidy policy which, it is easy to presume, may have been inspired from administration quarters, it is assumed that the chief effort of the American delegates will be directed to the one objoct of securing from the conference an indorsement of the policy of subsidies to steemship lines Perhaps 1t would nov be a very diffi- cult task to accomplish this, since a number of the foreign delegates have alveady expressed themselves as to the necessity of establishing steamship lines from the ports of the United States in order to secure the southern teade, but to suppose thut the men who represent the countries of South and Central America can be induced or tricked into endorsing steamship subsidies as a policy to be adopted by this government is to unwareantably underestimate their intelligence and character, They have not come here for any purpose of this kind, and they fully under- stand the nature of their mission and its proper limitations. They are here to acquire as well as to impart knowledge, to learn the sentiment of our people and instructus as to that of their own people,to acquaint them- selves with our resources and to give us abetter knowledge of theirs, and to hear and diseuss propositions looking to the mutual and general advantage of all independent American countries. But they will have nothing to do with rec- ommendiog policies or bolstering by their endorsewent any scheme for the THE OMAHA DAIIL URDAY benefit of a special interest. Tt is one thing to say that the United States ought to have steamship lines plying between its ports and those of the countries south of it, and quite another to recom- mend that these should be so- cured and ma intained by bounties from the public treasury. And the southern delegates know the difference. It is undoubtedly a fact that the sub- sidy huntors ave just now very active, and it is not untikely that their forces have been somowhat strengthened. ‘Lhe extracrdinary offorts they have made can hardly have failed to bring them some accessions. But the policy they advocato is us repug- nant to the great majority of the people as it has ever been, and it could obtain very little advantage, 1f indeed it did not suffor, from anything tho confer- ence of the Amevicas night say in ap- proval of it. All agree that the United States ought to have a merchant ma- rine equal to the demands of its com- merce, but there is a wisor and better way to get it than by laying the na- tional treasury under tribute. OMAIIA IN 1889, No city in Amevica of equal popula- tion can show as much substantial growth and general prosperity in all branches of trade and industry as | Omaha. The collapse of booms that have raisod veal estate values in western cities to fabuious prices has scarcely affectod Omaha in her onward march. ‘While it is true that the speculative craze has been checked and outside property has very naturally been a drug n the maviet, there has been no disas- trous sirinkage in values as has over- taken the boom cities of southern Cali- fornin, Kansus and 'exns, On the contrary confidence in the stability of values has remained unshuken, and values of inside property have becn fivmly upheld. At no time in her marvelous evolution into a commercial metropolis has Omaha made such substantial growth as in the present year, The extension of rapid transit lines by the eclectric motor, cable and belt line railw has wrought changes that seem incredible even to people who have been on the ground. The street railway system of Omaha to-day is superior in extent and equipment to that of Minneapotis, St. >qul, Cleveland, Detroit, and even us large a city as St Louis. In the matter of ements and water supply Omaha taies rank with the larger cities of the country. . Another and more importunt factor in making Omaha a center of traffic is the rapid development of her industrial resources. The fact that Omaha stead- ily maintains her position as the third pork-packing city in Ameriea speaks volumes for her future. But aside from the great packing houses that give em- ployment to thousands of men Omaha is constantlyenlarging her manufacturing estublishments and adding new ones. During the present season the plunt of the Grant and Omaha sil- ver smelting works which mnow employ six hundred men steadily has been matevially enlarged; and the white lead works are doubling their capueity, al'hough their output this vear will aggregate over six hundred thousand dollars. We just com- pleting one of the largest furmture fac- tories in the west: the foundry and ma- chine shops of Paxton & Vierling have more than trebled their capacity within the year; the Bemis Bag factory i now running to its utmost capacity, and a aozen minor factories and mills es- shed during the year, and those under way, afford striking proof that Omaha is not mevely a great jobbing and banking center. While her industrial resources are being rapidly developed, Omaha is also destined cre long to be one of the great- est of agricultural implement centers in America, This is the natural result of her location in the heart of the-corn belt. The mammoth warehouse which the Deerings are now erecting west of the smelting works is only the forerun- ner of other great implement wi houses that witl supply Nebraska, Da- kota and western Iowa with farm ma- chinery. With such evidences of solid growth Omaha is in position to attract capital that seelis remunerative investment. THEOmaha Daly Wrecker has joined hands with the Daily Tax List in a com- bined effort to down George Heimrod, This is the last performance of the old combine which played such discordant tunes in Hitcheocek’s double-barrel dur- ing the last presidential campaign. I'red Nye wants to know whether Heim- rod didn’t vote for Grover Cleveland. To the best of our knowledge and belief Mr. Heimrod did not vote for Cleve- land, but he did vote for U, S. Grant in 1872 when Fred Nye cast is maiden vote against Grant and for democratic candidate. I'rank Mor- rissey nsserts outright that Heimrod de- clarved in the legislature when the Par nell resolutions were upthat he cast his vote against the resolutions beczuse the Trish had too much freedom alvendy. Mr. Heimrod made no such remark. What he did say was that he could not support the resolutions because the Irish question had no business in our legisla= ture.

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. The czar arrived in Berlin yesterday. He was received at the station by Emperor Wil- liam, aud the two embraced repeatedly, All the world will wonder whother there was any sincerity on the part of either. This visit of the Russian emperor hus been long deferred, and it is but natural 1o regard it us @ mere conventionsl necessity ratbor than & friendly visitation, That it should be only OCTOBER 12, 1889, the former TdMzrested by obvious conditions of the Eurgpoan situation. Not alone are thoe interests in Europe of Russia and Ger many antagonistic, apparently irroconcilably 0, but the poliey of the German chancellor, who, it can pot be questioned, faithfully represents his sovereign, has not been lately of a kind to ‘foster Russia's cordial feeling for Germany.” The triple alliance of Ger- many, Austria dnd Italy has been, without any reservation whatsoever, but with almost brutish frankness, frequently stated by the organs of Prineb Bismarck to be in restraint of Russian anibition in tho Balkans. That alliance is a coptinuous menace to Russia; it originated with Germany, ana the er- man chancellor planned and schemed and announced it a var against Russian progress to the east. This, how- over, is mot the only cause for offense which the czar may justly consider be has against the emperor. The latter's re- cent ostentatious visit to England was not one of affection for the reigning family, that only a little while before he had flouted. It was one of busiuess, meantto enlist the sym- pathy of the British sovereign and govern- ment in the purpose of a triple alliance. The great naval pageant prepared for the kaiser became, by the subsequont cordial fraterni- zation of the emperor and the queen, a sug- gestion of force greater to Russia than to Germany, for England also has canso to look askan R A, as she advances along the debatable borders of Afghanistan and Persia and casts longing eyes toward the Bosphorus. The emperor does not lag far behind Prince Bismarck in giving cause for an noyance to Alexander, While the govera- ment organs are assailing Russia o the top of their bent, the kaiser causes it to be given out that he 18 aboutto visit the sultan, at Constantinople, and go thence to Lucharest. All this is open antagonism to Rus: plans, and all intended for their frustration. ‘I'here is evidently nothing cxcopt the requirements of kingly convention to induce the czar to go to Berlin. Between him and tbe German emperor there is uo friendship, not even a fair pretence of it, and, certainly, there aro 10 common intercsts binding them to render the czar’s visit more than one of strictest coremony. The strangencss ot the thing 1s, not that the visit has been delayed, but tha 1t should be made at all, The Gladstonian home rulers have had great cause of encouragement this week. Following the news of their brilliant vic tory in the English borough of Peterborough Monday came the announcement of an equally important success in the combined counties of Elgin and Nairn in Scotland Taesday. Tn Peterborough the home rulers won a seat from the tories. In the Scotch coustituency the (adstonians simply in- crease their majority and make what was a dountful seatu secure one. At the general election of 1880 the liberal home rulers won the Elein and Nairn disions by only 110 majority, the vote being 1,091 for the Glad stonian candidate to 1,862 for the whig-tory candidate. In the election of Tuesday the home rulers increased their vote to 2,071—u gai of 58%0—and at the same time more than quadrupled thewr majority, making it 532 They did this, too, in face of some dis- couraging circumstunces. Their caniidate, J. Seymour Keay, a Londoun barrister and journalist, is aman of advanced opinions. He aunounced himself in the early part of nis canvass as a‘republican and land re- former. This offended a section of the home rule party, and it ‘required the interposition of Mr. Giadstone to prevent a bolt. He was not in the nolitical sense a strong candidate. The tor ou the other | E a opular local man of large They counted on winning the seat. They were disappointed, as the result showed, while the Gladstonians were far from being con- fident. The assembly resuiting from the recent French election will apparently be a more united and efficient body than the one pre- ceeding it. It will be soif for no other rea- son than that the temptation to disunion constantly held out by Boulanger ana his party will be practically withdrawn. It 1s probable that there will beat once a more modest and quiet and a more stable policy pursued. It can haraly be that there are not a good many of the conservatives, especially amoung those who have looked to the Count of Paris as a leader, who must now forsako all hope of a change in the form of govera- ment and devote themselves to making the best of what they have. The extreme radi- cals must also be deprived of some of their strength by the proof that the country 1s not with them, and the curious alliances that have been formed 80 often between them and the extreme conservatives—altiances sure to be followed by separation, if not by u quar- rel, and utterly barren—can hardly be formed as readily as in the recent past. All these signs ure favorable. The most unfavorable one is the renewal of the talk of war, with Russia as an ally, based on the assumed greater stability of the republic assured by the elec I3ut this a question much too complicated to permit_anything beyond con- Whatover the fates may have 1 store for the republi friends in this country will continue to watch its course with sympathetic iuterest, Prince Bismarck is in appearance now a feenlo old gentleman. Measured by that of some of hiis contemporaries, his is not so very advanced an age. He will not be seventy- five until next April fool's auy, which means that he is nearly fifteen years younger than Count von Moltke, who is still hale and vigorous, Bismarck, t0o, is six years younger than Gladstone, seven younger than Cardinal Manniug, five younger than Leo- X111, and teu years younger than Pricce Gortchakoft was when ho aied. But he is not robust at all, and he frots a great deal over the fear that he may not last much longer. His face is waxen aud fabby, and his hands are those of a very old man—yellow and swollon in the joints and mavked with unnatural big blue veins, He 15 once more becoming very fut abdominally, and Dr. Schweninger 15 at his wit's end to kegp this flesh down this time, for Bismarck is no longer able to walk much, To please his physician he tries from time to time, but Lis legs hurt him too much to make this form of exercise possible, All this tends to depress hum, and the further fact that his family bave not been a long- lived face serves to deepen his conviction that bis duys ure umbered, The republican party of Krazil fnds its mewbership amobis’ the landed proprietors und ggriculturists, the parish clergy, the traders and mercharit classes, indeed all the ments that go to Consitute the backbone of the nation. ke atticude of the landed prictors is due to the action of the crown princess in briogigg about the sudden eman- cipation of the slaves May 13, 1888, without allowing them time for making provision for supplying ehe forced labor by means of that of a voluntary nature. The year of 1338 was one of great abundance and the landed proprictors being unprepared with the ready money requisite for hiring of volun- tary labor, had the mortification of ing their crops literally rot before their eyes in consequence of their inability to obtain men to harvest them. The ewancipated negroes absolutely decline to work more thau is just necessary for the purpose of keeping body and soul together, and the landlords, being without funds, are unable to incur the expense of hiring immi- graot lubor. Moreover, the government de- clines to consider any schome for the indem- nification of \he former slave owners for the 1oss of thelr property; #ud it is kuowa that it the crown princess, who 18 a woman of great detetmination and character, has boen ohiefly instrumental in proventing anything from being done to relieve their difficultios. While the asscrtions of the proas that before twelvo months have passed monarchy will have beon abolished in Brazil are doubtiess extravagant, yot there are many thoughtful public men who consider it an assured fact that Dom Pedro will be the last occupant of the throne, and that on his death the ropublic will be proclaimed. - When Stanlay arrives on the Zanzibar const ho will learn that the decline of Brit- ish influence there, which he pointed out and lamented whon he visited that region to prepare for his Emin Bey reliof expeditior, has not only been checked, but to a large extent repaired. The sultan has made such concessions to the British East Africa com- pany at Lamu and north of it that the Gor: man East Africa compauy is demanding compensation, The concessions include the full governmental control of the island of Lamu and of four important poiuts north ward, 80 that the coast line of tue company is now about seven hundred miles long, ex tonding, in fact, as far as Warsheikh. This covers the region through which Dr. Petors was anxious to make his movement for the rescue of Emin: but apparently the would be rescuers have ‘‘soured on' the brave governor, for the Germans suggost that he has been engaged by Stanley to act as equatorial agent for the British company in establishing a linsof traffic between the great lakes and the Zanzibar coast. It must o admitted that Stanley's exit eastward and not by way of the Congo, together twith the fact that Sir W. Mackinnon, who a chief figure in the British East African company, was also onoof the strongest backers of Stanley's expedition, gives some color of plausibility to the German surmise. A all ovents, the acquisition of Lamu, the third most important port on the coast, with its control of the commerce of the river Tana, is a successful stroke. The Tron Gate on the Danube has been the subject of a good many treaties, commercial and international. The romoval of obstruc- tions would be of great benefit to Europe, but the Austrian conscrvatives, using the same arguments that have been urged against the channel tunnel in England, havo prevailed upon the government to leave the Iron Cate as it is. This narrow, rocky channel (in which there is a fall of forty-ono feet in a half mile) is not in Austrian terri- tory but in Roumania, but the improvement can not be made without the consent of Austrin. The old-fashioned nobles look upon the swift current atthe Iron Gate as a better guard againsy Russian gunboats than tor- pedos and fortifications and work has been stopped. The mouths of the Danuve (on the Black Sea) are in Bulgarian territory. The river has a navigable course of S0 miles within the Austrian empire or above the Iron Gate. . The Earl of Zelland, the new viceroy of Treland, took the oath of ofice n few days ago. With but few exceptions the changes in the chief executive of that country have simply been a transfor of the misuse of au- thority; and even when there has been an effort on the part of the incumbent to substi- tute a more humane rule 1t has been hind- ered and baiked by the obstructive attitude of the imperial government. It is a strange commentary on the act of union that winle the population of Ircland in 1541 was over 8,000,000, it isgow, according to official figures, only 4,777,334 No such decrease has ever been witnessed in even the most badly governed of modern European states. 4 TR BEE FLATS, Coburn wili be msomme, soon floundering 1 the A cold wave is promised in time to com- mune with the democratic candidates, If the democrats fml 10 put up a man for county clerl, it wouldn’t take Jim Allen very long to scuttle the ship.
