No oNE can dispute the faet that the bridge motor has greatly stimulated trade in both Omaha and Council Bluffs, It has afforded a much better market for the products of Pot attamie county and has greatly increasca the’ sales of Omaba retalers, The opening of the South Omaha and Omala motor line will be equally beneficial. All Omaha merchants will have to do is to adver- tise their wares. The suburban trade of Omaha is cuormous and rapidly growing. OMAUA’S marvelous growth in popu- lation and commercial and industrial wealth, her magmficent system of pub- lic improvements, rapid transit, rail- road facilivies, public and private build- ings, and above all her enviable finan- cial position, are the admiration of all who take the pains to examine the history of her progress. The anunual report of the board of trade has been extensively drawn upon by the eastern press and comparisons made with local couditions, and in all cases Omaha's position compels favorable comment. 1t is not necessary to point out the ele- ments which insure the city’s future. Our progress in the past is the envy of the country. By unity of action and libervality the record of the coming ars will surpass it, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1889 ''HE THIRD DISTRICT. The judicial district republican con- vention has repudiated the recommen- dation of the bar, It has declined to in- dorse Mr. Joseph Clarkson and placed in nomination Mr. H. J. Davis, of this city, a well known lawyer of recognized ability and unquestioned integrity. For reasons that ave obvious THE Brr does not approve the course of the con- vontion. Although no objection can be raised to Mr. Davis on the score of ability or fitness for the benzh, the rajection of Mr. Clarkson is at variance with the well known sentiment of the people of this district, who favor a non-partisan judi- an Mr. Clarkson is a staunch republican, and there is no question whatever that his indorsoment by the ropublican dis- trict convention would have been promotly scconded by the democratic district convention. That would have resulted in Mr. Clarkson’s unanimous election and would have freed him on the bench from all obligation to par- tisan workers. Whetker Mr. Clarkson will now be willing to stand as an independent can- didate, and contest with Mr. Davis for the democratic nomination Tne BeR is not informed. Should both of these candidates go beforo the people the contest will degenerate into an un- seemly and disgusting seramble. This should by all means be obviated. The judiciary should be kept out of the mire of ward politics and our judges should be placed above partisan rancor or obligation to part THE NEW ELECTORAL COLLEGE. The New York Evening Post presents an intercsting caleulation regarding the probable combinations in the elect- oral cotlege in 1892,which shows that the republicans will have a quite decided aavantage. Assuming thatthere will not be o new apportionment in the mean- time, the electoral college in 1892 will number four bundred and fourteen, and two hundred and ht will be neces- avy for an election, The Post regards as doubtful states California, Con- nectient, Indiana, Montana, New York, Rhode Island and West Virginia, with a total of seventy-cight electoral votes. Allowing ten votes from the new states sure for the re- publicans, this result is reached: Surely republicaa votes, one hundred and eighty: surely democratic votes, one hundred and fifty doubtful, seventy-cight. This would leave the republicans but twenty-eight vot obtain from among the doubtfu in order to be successful, while the democrats would need fifty-two votes to win. Thus the republicans coula lose all the doubtfuf states except New York and win, with ecight votes to sparc, or they could . lose New York and Rhode Island and win with the votes of California, Indiana and West Virginia, and have one vote to spare, or they could lose New York. Rhode Island and West Virginia and win with Californin and Connecticut and > one vote to spare. The key to the [ost’s combinations is Indiana. The republicans cannot lose both that state and New York and win. With regard %0 the democratic side New York is as essential to the suceess of that party a Indinna is to republican success. ‘Thi caleulation, while it shows that the republicans will have a considerable advantage in 1892, does not warrant the purty in expecting an casy victory. The probability, however, is that there will be a new apportionment before the next presidential election, and if so tho changes it will effect 1n the electoral college will be most largly to the advantage of the republicans, as most of the gains in congressional representation under a new apportion- ment will be in the states regarded as surely republican and nearly all the losses will be 1n the states surely demo- cratic. STRIPED FIGURES. The prohibitionists of Towa are lay- ing great stress on the *“‘striped” fig- They show that the commit- ments to the state penitentiaries have decrensed, the number ench year being as follow Tn 1886 In 1887 Tn 1888, . e e Witcousin is a license state, a low license state, in fact, and yet its com- mitment to the penitentiary has aiso decreased. The number for each of the corresponding years in Wisconsin was! In 188 In 1897 In 1888 The population of Wiscon most as large as that of Towa. Figur- ing on the basis of the last consus, Towa last year had one commitment for every five thousand and fourteen per- sous, while Wisconsin had one for every six thousand two hundred and thirty-four. Wisconsin, with its li- cense system, and a low license at that, had twenty per cent less crime than Towa, according to the logic of the Sstriped” figures. ures. THE IOWA CAMPAIG) There is no excitement attending the political campaign in Towa, but there is o great deal of earnest work being done, and popular interest in the contest has been increased since Senator Allison entered the campaign. The senator is vitally intercsted in the result, and he will remain in the fight to the finish, His speeches thus far have been clear and able expositions of republican policy awnd principles, and 1 undoubtedly be effective. Some time ago there were intimations that Senator Allison might encounter strong opposi- tion to his re-election. It was thought that Governor Larrabee would be a can- aidate against him, but the governor set at rest all rumors regarding himself by positively deelaring that he would not be & candidate. Another story was that the western partof the state would demand the senator, but this has been shown to have no foundation, and the report that the farmers were going to oppose the re-election of Sen- ator Allison has also been dis- posed of as a fletion, the face being that the farmers are rallying with their wonted enthusiasm to hear the senator. The indicatlons therefore are that Senator Allison will have no opposition whatever for re-etection, and republicans throughout the country will be very well pleased to know that such is the case. Senator Allison is every- where recognized as one of the foremost men of the party, an able, safe and care- ful leader, whose retirement from the councils of the party and from the duties of public life would be a serious loss to be generally regretted. Regarding republican prospects in Jowa there is no appar- ent reason to doubt the success of the party. Defections are reported in por- tions of the state on account of the atti- tude of the party in supporting prohi- bition, and doubtless there are some, but it is not at all likely that these will be s0 numerous as to jeopardize the success of the party. A few legislative sonts may be transforred thereby and local offices now held by republicans get wnto democratic hands, but the de- fection will not be so great as to ov come the republican plurality of nearly thirty-two thousand last year. It is im- portunt, however, that republican wor shallde kept active, and the life which Senator Allison is infusing into the campaign is assurance that this will be done. WHAT EUROPE WILL NEED. Europe will in all probability take a larger amount of American breadstufls during the ensuing year than for number of years past. Already the ex- port movement shows a considerable improvement, and later on it is expected to increase to exceptionally large proportions, The latest inform- ation regarding the Buropean crops in- dicate that there is alarge deficiency in all the grain-growing countries. The average in wheat for all Europe is eighty-one this year, compared to ninety-three last year and one hun- dred and ten the year before. Accord- ing to estimates the wheat deiicit of the Austro-Hungarian empire, which usu- ally exports largely, is about forty- three million bushels, and there 1s a proportionate decr: of all other grains, Prussia, Russia and Roumania also have poor wheat crops, so that none of these countries will be able to export to the usual extent to meet the demands of countries which do not pro- duce grain enough for their own needs. The Indian crop is also below the av- erage. This being the situation, Euarope will have to be suppliea more largely than usual, or for several years past, from this counts This ought to be materially beneficial to American whneat growers, but wheth it will de- pends upon conditions which are be- yond their control. It is reasonably to be ecxpected, however, that better prices will prevail for wheat before the next harvest, and the farmers should get a fair share of whatever the ad- vance may be. The European de- fi concurrently with a less than average crop in this country ought to result 1n giving American wheat grow- ers a better profit on their grain than they have realized for several years past. This is one feature in the com- mercial situation which helps greatly the favorable outlook for the ensuing year. CoxN SSMAN BRECKINRIDG Arkansas, scems disposed to be more amiable than most of his democratic colleagues in cougress., He says tho republicans will be given every oppor- tunity to make a record, and that the democrats will not throw a single obstacle in the way of rational, unsec- tional legislation by the majority. With regard to the taviff, Mr. Breckin- ridge predicts that the democrats in the house will be most fair and liberal in their course, and will do nothing to pre- vent having the question tested and a definite result obtained, allowing the majority to take the responsibility for legislation—*‘that is to say,” observed the Arkansas congressman, ‘if the measure is not obviously and conspicu- ously unfair.” The amiable professions of Mr. Breckinridge would be more re assuving if it were not for the qual cations that accompany them, and which suggest that he simply wants the courage to follow Mills and others in asserting a determination to make the power of the minovity felt as to all lemslation proposed by the majority. The bluat and frank avowal of the Texas congressman is a safer indica- tion of democratic intention than the qualified promises of the representative from Arkan THE present administration has rid itself of one nuisance, in Corporal Tan- ner, but it still has its Hod Taylor, of Wisconsin, who oceupids the responsi- ble position of commiszsioner of Pacific railroads. Since his advent into office Mr. Taylor has used his influence in be- half of the subsidized roads in cascs detrimental to the publicinterest. His latest break is an attack on the Iowa railroad commission for carrying out the law regarding roads in that stute, The members of the commission have written indignant letters to the pursi- dent, and if Mr. Taylor does not modify the limits of hiswouth he will probably follow Corporal Tanuer into the shades of private life. DURING the past nine months of the al year there has been, as compared with a corvesponding time last year, an increase of fourteen per cent in the number of business failures throughout the country. There hasalso been an increase of fourtecn r cent in the assets involved and of twenty-one per cent in the linbilities. The large in- crease in the latteritem is due to the wrecking-of a few firms whose debts were heavy, which brought the general average beyond the ratio of 1885, On the whole, however, business is more active than last year, and the outlook is vastly better. — THE threatened combut in congress will not materialize.

They Fail to Follow the Prescribed Formn in Patting the Board's Ordor Into Effoct—Lincoln in Brief: 1020 P Street, INCOLN, Nob.,Oct. 14. The state board of transportation will hold & meeting to-morrow to considor its fu. ture action on the schedule of coal rates, which has hung fire several months. An investigation of the situation would in dicato that the secretaries of tho board lave gotten into something of a muddle. When Senator Sutherlan made a complaint against tho Chicago, St. Pau), Minneapolis & Omaha railway a conditional order was issucd directing that road to show cause why its rates should not bo reduced. The partic to the controversy then hag a hearing. After the hearing the secretaries should have made a finding of fact and upon that based & final order to the St. Paul rond. An order was issued subsoquent to the hearing, but upon investigation it appears to have been of the natureof a conditional instead of a final order. The St. Paul. which has refused to adopt the scheduie of coal rates fixed by the board, 18 therefore not amenablo to discipline, because of the failure of the board o g0 through the prescribed forms of putting its notice into effect. Not only did the socrotarios servo this second notice unon tho St. Paul road as a final order, but it was served on all the other roads in the state, There has been an impression that the board of transportation had made a couclusive finding, binding upon all roads alike, aud that the railways were mawmtaining their old rates in defiance of the board. But such is not the case. KEach road is entitled to a hearing for itself. The other roads cannot be bound by the findings of the fact in the case against the St. Paul. Aneffort will be made at to-morrow's meeting to unravel the tangle. The scere- taries contend that they have been regular in thewr proceedings, but their records do not show 1t. A motion will probably be mado to issue a final order on the St. Paul to put in force tho board's schedule of rates, which reduces the chavges on coal from 42 {0 35 per cent. The board may issue a conditional order to cach of the other roads, or, if the notice already sent them be allowed to stand as such order the next step will be a hearing. Then will follow the findings of the secrctaries and the final or- ders. The enforcement of the coal schedule is, therefore, a matter of weeks and perhaps months. Tho 13, & M., the Kock Tsland _and the St. J Joe & Grand Island have paid no attention to the order of the board. The other roads have made answers ure- ing reasons why the order should not be cu- forced, and the following abstracts rive the cssence of their arguments: ‘The Union Pacific objects to the same rate being fixed for hard and soft coal in viola- tion of two important principles : 1. That freight rates should be based on the value of the commodity, the more valu- able taking the higher rate. 2. That the rates should be bused on the relative quantities of hard and soft coal transported. The Union Pacific also says that the rates established by the board for distances less than fifty miles are not suflicient to pay the cost of service i carrying soft coal. The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Om: daenies the jursdiction of the board of transportation in_fixing rates. It also asserts that the schedule issued by the board is grossly uujust and unreasonable and will not defray the actual cost of the service ren- dered without any return upon the capital invested. Then follows an elaborate state- ment of the road’s cost, bonded indebted- ness, earnings, ete. It is alleged that the 241 miles in Nebraska cost £42,000 per mile, a total of $10,000,000; that it has been ponde 000 per mile, a total of $3,616,000, at per cent; that it is nccessary to earn over and above operating expenses, repairs and renewals, the sum of §217,000 per year o pay 1mtorest on bonds: that the gross earnin for 1858 were 385,810 and the expoenses $5! 7623 that there was a deficit of $90,000 1 tile interest fund that had to be pad from the earnings in other states; that the order of the board is 1n the nature of approvriating the railroad’s property withuut process of law; that the railrouds had made a conces- sion by adopting the board’s schedule of 1887 and should not be hampered further. The I'remont, Elkhorn & Missouri Val- ley and Sioux City & Pacific make in general terms objections similar to the foregoing. Test Cases In Meat Inspection. Several days ago W. C.

To the thousands of theater-goers who have en- joyed Mr. Wallack's character representa- tions on the stage for half a century, and who are familiar with his charms as a story teller, this memorial volume will necd no commendation. It bristles with reminis- cencos of the groat actors of his day, i a store house of green - lightfully told. Few volumes of its class contain more genuine pleasure between the covers, § “‘Bluebird Notes” is the cheery title of a volume-of poems from the pen of Ira Bill- man, and published by Fuuk & Wagnalls, New York. The book contains 136 poems, showing considerable diversity of lenth, subject, measure and merit. Most of them are short, perspicuous and readable. Some of them are exceedingly touching and reveal no small degree of poetic genins. The vol ume is beautifully printed on heavy calen dercd paper, and’ it will be safe, ennobling and heipful in any family. “The Master of Bailantrae,” by Robert Louis Stevenson, having run its course in the magazines and patent plate papers. is now issued in book form by Charles Scribner & Sons, New York, Most readers are familiar with the wanderings and adventures of the master in temptrate and trop shores. The story 1s told in that prolific, weird vein for which the author is noted, and will find favor with those who love sea- faving lifo, A P “‘Monopolies and the People” is the title of an instructive book from the pen of Charles Whiting Baker, published by G..1% Putnam’s Sous, New York. The subject in- volves the industrial and social welfare of the country. The growing tendenoy to mo- nopoly in all departments of business 1s the great evil of to-d and the manner and method of dealing with 1t, of makiug it con- tribute to tho general prosperity instead of menacing our welfare, presents a problem almost beyond solution. The author is usso- ciate editor of the New York geering News, a position which gave him curate knowiedge of the corporate trusts and pools, of and national ramifications This information he embodies in the book, covering the ques- tion thoroughly and bricfly, Ho gives a hu tory of railroad mounopolics, trus pools, municipal and other corporations, their growth and development, with statistics bearing on each, how they use the privileges granted them by an over-generous public to oppress their creators, the attempts at regu- lation, and the remedies which the peoplo can safely apply. His conclusions possess a flavor of novelty, though not entirely new, and many of them could be put in practical operation with great benefit to the public. As a remedy tor the serious evils and abuses which burden the railway wanagement of tho country, Mr. Baker suggests that the government acquire title to the franchise, right of way and real cstate of all railway lines, map out a territory f each corperation, so. that there be no competition between them; prohibit the coustruction of parallel lines; issue bonds bearing 3 per c for pirchase, and lease the rouds for terms of 25 to the highest bidder at a quarter of one per cent. above the interest on the bonds, the government reserving titio and the right to regulato . With municipal corporations, such car lines, gas and water works, electric heht and otlier companies, the authc would deal with them i a sinilar way. Either lot the municipalities overate them for the public good, or sell the fr o to the highest bidder' for a term of years, re serving tho right to te rates. 'M Baker deals vigorously with the stock watering and deciares that the govern- ments, both national and state, should pro« Iubit under severe penaltios the' issue of i flated stock. As uwhole the work is exce ingly interesting in toue, treatment and cou- clusions.
