A terrible railroad collision occurred at Gibson station on the Burlingten & Missouri River railroad Tuesday oven- ing. About thirty passengers and sev- eral railrond employes were more or { less injured; one of them has since died, and injuries sustained by several othiers may prove fatal, Although Gibson sta- tion is within five miles of Omaha no relinble report was obtainable from the Burlington managers or local employes. At Burlington headquarters and at the B. & M. depot the accident was repr sented ns of trifling consequence. en at this late day a full list of the maimed passeng is not obtafnable, All that has been published concerning the victims of the wwn out from hotel At the cor- sulaffd the that collision. ger Hold- - collision has been d clerks and hospital wards. Vs inquest over the body of I at v one the most that could be got relation of the brought about the disastrous Now what excuse can Mand rege or his subordinates offer for con- cealing from the press and the public the true state of affairs aud the condi- tion of cach and every person who was injured? The practice of suppressing reports about railrond accidents and withholding information about passen- gers or railrond employes who have taken pussage on wrecked traios is rep- rehensible. There isno vahid excuse for suppressing such reports. The publie is entitled to them at the earliest possible moment. There can bo nothing gained in withholding them. The [acts are bound to be known sooner or later, and it is simply outrageous and eruel to keep people who have relatives and friends abonrd in s 1o their condition or safety, Even where an ac- cident is entirely unavoidable and no blame can attach to anybody for its oc- currence railroad managers should be in duty bound to furnish the press all the informution that can be had at the eavliest moment. IDAHO'S UNPITN . The people of Idano will vote next month on the constitution recently framed, and if the work of the conven- tion is ratiied by the popular vote the next congress will be asked for legisla- tion to enable the territory to beeom state. Tt is hardly probable, howe that such a request would bo gran for the reason that Idaho can not sh a fair claim to such’consideration in the important matters of population and material development. he tions precedent to statehood wanting and there appoars be 1o better reason for seeking it this time than the very large crop of politicians in the territory who would like to occupy com- fortable state offices. It is said that the number of aspirants for positions under a state government is wonderfully out of proportion to the sparse population. There arb no less than thirty woul United States sonators, uear of individual to the and a who aspire judges, and other the sclf-secking circumstances suspense ed, condi- are to at fact that there isa would like house of reat many be governor, state officers, It is voliticians of Idaho who are the most clamorous for state kood. There isa large body of the peopie quite satisfied with the territor- ial condition for the present. Upon the most liberal estimate of Idaho does not @ to seventy thousa ow for the reason available for smal Tutil suppliod who lower score to more the population frem sixty- the increase is very that the amount of land agriculture is very the territory is with a general system of irriga- tion it cannot wvrovide for a very much larger population than it now has, and it will be some years before this can be accomplished, even if the government should at once adopt a liberal policy of irvigation. Then as to materinl dev opment, it has not yet attained the pro- portions to support s tate government. The annual report of Gov- ernor Shoup to the seeretary of the in- terior gives twenty-three million dollars as the sum total of the prop- 80 that it would be necessary to fix the tax rate at ap- pressive figure in order to obtain suf- ficlent to meet the neces xpenses of astate government. Already taxa- tion in the t hes almost everything, and yet the a debt of about two hundred tihousand dollavs. What would happea if the government gotinto the hands of a lot of greedy politiciuns can exsily be conjeeturod. Obviously Idaho is not in a condition to be elevated to statehood, and is likely to be for some years to come. To admit her as she is would simply be to repeat the mistake made in admitting Nevada, and this no party will venture to do. necessary \ssessment, an itory re not A NARROW AND SELFISH VIEW. It was to be expected that there would be opposition in the east to the provosed plan of government irvigation for reclaiming the arid lands of the west. The farmers of New England and other portions of the east, who charge the decline in the value of their lands aud the unprofitableness of agri- culture there to the competition of the west, would naturally be hostile to ex- tending this competition by wmaking available for agriculture a large arew in the west now practically less, But no such narrow and selfish sentiment was to have been looked for from any portion of the peo- ple of the west. Yet the platform adopted by the late democratic conven- tion of Nebraska declares: We denounce and protest against appropri- ations to irrigate desertlands because the farmers of tho United States should not be further taxed to ercate competition for their farms apd themsolves. We have already enough arable laud to glut & home market aud put nearly all farm products below the cost of production. Only the most arrant demagogy could have prompted a declaration of this kind, but it will fail of its obvious purpose with the intelligent farmers of Nebraska. They have no fear that the proposal to make valuable lauds out of a now worthless region, capable under the conditions which it is believed ir- rigation will produce of sustaining a population equal to that of the entire country at present, and thereby add- ing ouormously to the mational wenlth, would diminish their prosperity worth- or reduce the value of their possossions They are not so natrow and selfish as to believe thero 1s danger to their welfare in making provison for fifty millions additional population, occupying fruit- ful lands and building towns and cities, where now hardly so many thousands can find the means of subsistence. Thoy will not be alarmed by a remote possible compotition which must bring with it an addition to the wealth- producing power of the coun- try beyond computation, and give an- other imperial section to the nation equal to the most prosperous of tho present. The intelligent farmers of Nebraska are not to be caught by any such unpatriotic, narrow and selfish declaration as ¢ of the democratic platform. If the view now proclaimed by the democracy of Nebraska had prevailed in the past the United States would not b the great and prosper- ous nation it i The pio- nee who & hundved year ssed the Allegheniesto found an empire in the then northwest would have remained east of the mountains, content with what they had and refus- g to open up new sources of compet tion. There would have been no march of empire westward, and the vast section whose products have contributed so * to the nation’s wealth and pros- perity would still, in large part, be o wilderness, We should not have pur- chased the Louigiana territory, nor an- nexed Texas and Californin, The won- ful growth of this country has been due to a broad and liveral policy to which the view of the Nebraska de- mocracy is distinetiy hostile. That policy will be maintained, and the proposal to reclaim the avid lands of the west is entively 1n line with it. The public domain available for settle- ment is fast disappeaving, and these avid lands can not be allowed to remain worthless if a practicable way can be found to render them valuable. Itis believed that irrigation can be success- fully applied so to reclam mllions of acres at o cost less than one dollar per capita of the population, If this can be accomplished we shall add to the wealth of the country in the in- creased value of the land muny times the sum expended, and ereate o new field for the industry and enterprise of our people, the future value of which to the nation cannot ho computed. A project so vast in its possibilities is not to be defented by any such navrow, sell- ish and unpatriotic protests as that con- tained in the Nebraska democratic plat- form. THE COUN1Y TREASURERSHIP. The treasurer of Doaglas county nan- dles-nearly a million dollars annually. The position demands a man of first- class business ability, who has experi- ence as an accountant. He should not mevely be a figure-head with w deputy to do his work, but should be in condi- tiou to devote his entire time to the dis- chaege of the duties of his oftice and supervision of his subordinates. That Mr. George Heimrod is in every resuect better qualified for the position of county treasurer than his competitor, am Suyder, must conceded by ybody who knows the two men. eimrod has pe 1nlly conducted a suceessful mercantile business and for years had personal ¢! e of the boolk- keeping of his s He is cles headed and cducated for the work in hund, If clected he will be able to de- vote his entire time to the oftice, Mr. Snyder is a butcher by trade and in that trade he has probably no supe- riors. But he is notoriously incompe- tentas an accountant, and in his own bookkeeping he depends entively upon hired he His business a meat dealer and butcher requires his ver- sonal attention, and even if he weve d posed toneglect his own business for the benefit of the county he is not qualified to handlo its finance The only financeering upon which he has ve tured has been “in connection with the bank in which himself, Pat Ford, and saveral other councilmen who had wero bitten, and 1o which cv itors and depositors were confidenced.

The criminal court docket of that county contains indictments against four felons, two embezzlers, two forgers, and one assailant of virtue,and the grand jury is still at work. These crimes can scarcaly have been brought about by the traftic in liquor, since we are assured by Governor Larrabee and other men of authority, that the rum power has been driven from the state, The natural inference must be that crimes are perpetrated in Towa despite ‘the prohibitory amendment in Towa that d the peniten- useless, TieE meeting of the National Brother- hood of Locomotive Ligineers, now in session at Denver, is of considerable local interest. The Brotherhood will clect a new chief and Nebraska is the most formidable rival Chief Arthur has for the honor. George Vroman, of North Platte, the chgirman of the grievance committee, has a lar following and a fair prospect of success. The engineers are the most rvative of all labor organizations, and the order has a mem- bership of twenty-six thousand persons, together with o well piled treasury. Should Mr. Vroman be successful in his canyass, the headquarters of the order will, of course, be located in this state, probably at Omaha. The benefits to be derived from Vroman’s election would be considerable, and all Nebraska en- gineers shouid assist to such a result. conse GRATIFYING evidence of the efficiency of our fire department was furmshed by the five at Nagle's mill, The inflam- muble nature of the material on which the fire fled, the blocks of warehouses surrounding, with the Union Pacific shops in the track of the smok® and flume and sparks, fendered it for a time OCTOBER 18, 1889 one of the most dangerous in the history of the city. The fire department was equal to the) emergency, and confined the flames to the starting place. At great peril to'themselves the members plunged into the clouds of smoke and prevented what promised to be a dis- astrous conflagration, Individually and collectively tho department is entitled to the thanks of the community. T fiat of the convention of street railway presidents that the Knights of Labor must go will not shake the irma- ment or ttartle tho world. These amia- ble high-salaried gentlomen, whoso hours are made to suit their conven- ience, declave their readiness to ‘‘estab- lish acommunity of interest between the employer and the employed,” but the latter must not murmur against long hours or starvation pay,or unite for mutual advancement. So long us they bow to the corporate autocrats the *‘community of interest” will flourish and fatten the dividends. It is all right for the presidents and the corporations to combine, but in their eyes asimilar union of workmen is a crime. The Knights of Labor may diminish in num- ber, but their principles will live and ripen in new and stronger organiza- tions.
