M. BARNEY MAGINNIS is needlessly anxious to unravel the tangle in county affaivs, The voters will spure him the mental exertion. THE proposition to annex Utah to Nevada must be frowned down. Ne- vada is already staggering under a sur- plus of afictions and a scavcety of pop- ulation. FORTY-NINE oyster packing houses in Baltimore have combined to advance prices. Tt 1s time for the public to rise and rebel against being plunged deeper in the soup. Don’t be o clam. Tii Andrew Jacl cago lead n league of Chi- nominates Chief Justice Fuller to the democratic forlorn hope in 1892. But Melville is too shrewd to give up a life position for a passing glory of heading a political funeral. GOVERNOR HILL significantly re- minds the southerners that he cannot indulge in fulsome praise of the count because “I did not bring my encyclo- pedia with me.” This is a cruel fling at Cleveland, and foreshadows a bitter fight for the democratic nomination in 1892. THE steady increase In the clearings of Omaha banks is in itself strong proof of the commercial growth of the city. Coupled with the increased activity among jobbers and retailers since the first of October, the steady increase of meat packing and the advancing strength of the realy market, they in- gicate a brisk fall trade in all lines. JunGE GRESHAM 1s being quoted to the effect that he does not see how Clevelnnd could be beaten if renomi- nated in 1892. It is improbable that he ever made any such obscrvation, but at any rate all who honor him as an able and upright jurist will hope that he will keep tho political interviewer at a respectful distance and refase to be deawn into expressions of opinion which may easily be perverted to his injury. Tne lands ceded to the wgovernment by the Chinpewa Indians of Minnesota, amouuting to nearly three million acres and valued at not less than sixty million dollars,will be greatly to the advantage of the state. When thrown open to set- tlement these lands, partly covered with valuable pine forests and partly fine furming land, will be in active de- mand, and a considerable addition to the population of Minnesota will result. The treaty with the Indians was based on the princinle of mutual interest, and all parties to it will be benefitted. T'ne southern tour of Governor Hill has had the effect of determining the position of the leading democratic papers of the west. The Chicago Herald bas practically declared for Hill for president in 1892. There is much significance in the Herald’s utterances in favor of the New York governor for the reason that it was one of Cleve- land’s strongest supvorters in the west. The Times of the same city cannot see the shadow of a hope of success with Hill, and the St. Louis Republic is of the sameo opinion, declaring that the men who are posing as wet nurses for his presidential boom have no standing or influence in the party. The St. Louis Post-Dis- pateh will doubtless follow the course of the New York World, which locks upon Hill as a spoilsman and party wrecker. ‘The Denver News is for anybody against Clevetand, while the Kansas City T%nes favors his renomiuvation. This gives . Hiil but two promiyent suppoyters in “ the west, and neither of them can be ranked as enthusiastic advocates of his pretentions. If his southern pilgrimage results favorably, it is certain that Hul will make & tour of the west next year and lay the foundation of the campaign of 2, Itis but natural that Mr. Cleve- land’s friends should view the develop- ment of Hill’s boom with ill-coucenled alarm, SILVER AND GREENBACKS. The proposition submitted to the re- cent convention of the national bauk- ers by Mr. St. John, of New York, to which we made extonded reference at the time, fora retitement of the legal tender notes through additional coin- agoe of silver, has been disapproved by a Jarge majority of the executive coun- cil of the association. to which the proposition was referred. The position of the council is that the rotirement of the legal tender notes 18 a practical impossibility in the present condition of the public mind, that an increased coinage of silver dollars of the present standard weightand fineness would be fraught with danger to our monetary system, and that to increase or retain taxation for the purpose of retiring the non-interest beaving debt, while the in- terost bearing debt remains, would not meet the approval of the public. The council expressed the belief that it would be desirable, if legal tender notes retired and additional paper money is then considered advisable, that gold certificates should be issued upon the one hundred million doilars of gold now held as a fund for the redemption of legal tender notes rather than to disburse the coin for ndditional silver certiticates, The conspicuously weak feature of Mr. St. John's p'an was the proposal to retire the legal tender notes, because in the first place it is not necessary to anmprovément in our currency sys- tem to'do so, and in the second place the legal tender notes are a part of the circulation which costs the people unothing and is equally safe and seryiceable with the other parts of the circulation. There is no good reason why the legal tender notes should be retired to give place to another form of curvency to provide which would simply mean laying adai- tional taxes upon the people. In this particuiar, therefore, the view of the executive council of the bankers’ asso- ciation is the correct view. But in all other vespects the council was evidently dominated by the antl-silver sentiment. ‘What is meant by danger to our mone- tary system, from ircreasing the issue of silver, is that it would endanger the stability of the gold standard. The obvious idea of these bankers is that if silver should be coined to the maximum amount now allowed by law the effect would be to expel gold from circulation and stimu- late its export. In a word, that we should in time be brought to a suspen- sion of gold payments and our whole mouetary system be made to rest on a silver vasis. This was the view before the presant silver coinage law was passed, and experience has very thor- oughly demonstrated that it was wholly erroneous. There has been no disturbance of the monetery system of the country in cousequence of the issue of silver because the de- mands of the rapidly growing business of the country required this addition to thecurrency. Why may it not reason- ably be supposed that the continued growth of the business of the country will absorb an increased issue of this form of currency? The condition thatconfronts the coun- try is this, thatwhile there is a steadily expanding demand for moncy there is a steady contraction in con- sequence of the retirement of bank notes, and this contraction is likely to proceed* more rapidly here- alter, unless congress shall devise a plan, which is nov probable, thav will enable the banks to profitably issue notes. Something must be provided to take the place of these disappearing bank notes, or our monetary system will indeed be in danger of serious disturb- ance, as well as our whole commercial system. The most practicable way, if not the only way, to prevent contraction of the money supply is to increase the volume of silver in the currency, either by additional coinage to an extent now provided for by law, or by the issue of certificates represcnting bullion in the treasury. It is necessary to ma- terial progress and to the prosperity of the masses of the people that enterprise shall not be checked and curtailed by a contraction of the currency, and the next congress will have no more im- portant matter to consider than that of providing against any reduction in the volume ef the currency. RAVAGES OF DROUGOT. It is useless to conceal tho fact that drought has vravaged a vast section of the northwest, Nothing appronching it has been exerienced since the settle- ment of the country. The devastated belt extends through novthern Minne- sota, North Dakota, northern Wyom- ing, all of Montana, and portions of Idaho, Oregon and Washington. In the high table lands of the first two states the grain cropsdid not escape its blight- ing effect, but in all the states named the grass was practically burned to the roots in midsummer. What little rain fell in July and August cawe too late for a grass crop. As a result tho hay crop is a failure and the effect cannot fail to be disastrous to the vast stock in- terests of that section, Montana alone has fully fifteen mil- lion dollars invested in stock on the ranges from the Yellowstone to the Sun river. This greatdistrict is considered the richest grazing land in the north- west. Its nutritious grasses have at- tracted vast herds from the south and enst, and it has heretofore been an un- failing source of profit to ranchers. This year it is a vast sun- scorched plain., A largo npum- ber of the small streams which furnish water for stock and adjacent ir- rigated fields are dry, and the only feed remaining was that in the valleys of lavge rivers, This forced the herds from the bench lands into the valleys, denuding them and leaving practically no feed to sustain life duriag winter, As a consequence every beef (it for mar- Icet will be shipped out, and if, asis generally expected, the coming winter is a severe one, the stock interests of Montana will be well nigh annibilated, Snow deep enough to cover what little grass isleft means starvation to thou- sands of young animals, To import feed to any extent is out of the ques- tion, as huy costs from twenty to twen- ty-five dollarsa ton. There is ouly one pluusible explana- tion of this destructive blight. The unusual mildness of lagt winter and the* paucity 6f snowfall left mountain, val- ley and plain without the usual moist- ure. This had the effect of diminish- ing the spring rains, leaving the coun- try dependent on irrigation. iven this failed to a large extent, because the searcity of snow on the mountains reduced the volume of water in the rivers and exhausted tho minor strenms, This deplorable condition is certain to produce great distress during the coming winter. The farmersof Minne- sota and the ranchers of Montana are in condition to withstand the first crop failure in twenty years, but the new settlers of Dakota will feel the loss of a partial failure severely. The loss to stockmen will be enormous, as it will force them to eell at very low prices, Coming 8o close on the disnsters of 1885-6 it is discouraging and financially ruinous. LEAVE NO LOOPHOLES. Before the council submits the union depot and viaduct bond proposition every sentence in the orvdinance and proclamation should be cavefully re- vised and no loophole 1eft. The com- vact between the city and the railroad companies should contain safeguards that will guarantee boyond peradven- ture a fathful compliance with all obii- gations on the part of railroad and union depot companies. On two or threa important points the ordinances submitted to the council aro decidedly unsatisfactory. One of these is the proposition to surrender the bouds ot the city before the viaduct is built, and to accept as the only guar- anty of good faith a bond for two hun- dred thousand dollars, signed by the Union Depot company aad endorsed by the Union Pacific and Burlington roads. Such a bond would afford no guaranty of a union depot. In fact, it is doubt- ful whether such a bond would be enforced in the courts, even in a suit for nominal damages. There is no au- thority in law for the Union Pacific or the Burlington road to endorse such a bond. Granting that the bond would e valid as against these roads, all that we could recover would be conssquential damages. That is not what Omaha is after. We want the union depot and not a damage suit in the courts. Another vitul point involved in the dual proposition is whether the rail- roads would got a quit claim to the de- pot grounds and n title to the lots held in trust by Alvin Saunders, in cuse the bond proposition fails by not receiving two-thirds of the votes polled. 1In other words, the ordinance quit- claiming the Union Tacific for depot grounds alveady deeded and requiring the mayor to deed the lots not yet deeded by the trustee only requires & majority voto while the bond ordinance must be rvatified by a two- thirds vote. The bonds may be defeated and the depot ground ordinance may be ratified by the requisite majority. In that case it would become a question whether the railvoad companies woald not get a clean title to the lots und lands without building either a viaduct or depot. This is a veryserious problem. While Tue Bee is disposed to support the propositions by which the bridge em- bargo is to be raised, we want to be sure that this city will get all that 1t bar- gains for. 3 iNATOR ALDRICII is another repub- lican who says that the party in con- gress must promptly take hold of the question of tarifl revision and do some- thing to satisfy the demands of the peo- ple. Hesays the demand for revision is justas great mow as ever, and the party can unot afford to disregard the wishes of a majority of the people. The senator does not indicate what his idea of revision is, or how far he 1s pre- pared to go in response to the demands of a majority of the -people. but the fact that he and other 1n- fluential leaders of the vepublican party recognize the nec y of meet- ing this question in a steaightforward way and disposing of it is certuinly re- assuring. As we have already pointed out, however, theve are still great dif- ficulties to be encountered and over- come before an adjustment of this ques- tion is reached. Between the demand of New England manufacturers for raw materials and that of southern v publicans for the abolition of internal revenue taxes, the work of tarill r on is likely to be an exceedingly laborious and perplexing task. THE contest for the clerkship of the repubiican house of representatives at Washington seems to have simmered down to Major John M. son and Ldward McPherson, both of Pennsyl- vania, with Carson strongly in the lead. Major on, as noted before in these columns, is peculiarly qualified for the position,by reason of hislong familiavity with legislation at the national capital, his sturdy republicamsm, his energy and his robust health. He is an old soldier and a still older editor, popular, of excellent address, and has a national experience with men and measures. For nearly twenty years he has been one of the most prominent of Washing- ton correspondents, and is to-day Mr. G. W. Childs’ representative at the capital, from which city his excellent and conservative dispatches have given him a wide reputation. Major Carson’s selection will be very generally en- dorsed by the press of the country as a proper recognition of a brilliant and hard working journalist, a fighting re- publicun worker and an accomplished gentlemen. — THE troublesome question of reducing the number of desertions in the army is still under consideration at the war de- partment, A step in the divection has been taken by amending the army reg- alations as to enlistments so that re- cruits, after having passed the medical axamination, shall be kept at the ren- dezvous for six days, during which time the fullest possible information shull be obtained regarding the reeruit, who will be required to furnish testimonials. If at the end of six days the man does not seew 1o be fitted to become & soldier he will not be accepted, but if he is all rvight and is willing to serve Uncle Sam be wilt be taken. It is hoped the plan will result in securing a better clil§s"of" men for the qrmy, but a great many un- worthy fellows may take advantage of it to obtain | p week’s subsistence from the government., e —— A NEW York paper somewhat jubi- lantly announces that' ‘‘the finance committes of the world’s fair has at last settled (down to business.” The “*business! consists in providing a plan under which the people of New York can subscrie five million dollars as a preliminary guarantee fund “to show thoir interest and thelr good faith the matter of the geat exhibition. This is the grand and reassuring result of weeks of deliberation by the mil- lionaires who compose the finance com- mittee, not one of whom has subseribed or probably intends to subscribe a dol- lar. While the New Yorkers have been incubating thisplan Chicago has subseribed more than the amount and has double the sum in sight. It is pretiy safe to predict that the proposed guarantee fund will never be sub- scribed. THE state convention of the Young Men’s Christinn Association will bring together many of the best and brainiest men in the state, to review the work of the yeur and deviss ways aud meuns for future action. The objects and aims of the associntion neea no commendation. It is essentinlly a foster-pavent for young men, affording them protection from demorahizing tendencies and opening to them avenues leading to an honorable career. It is gratifying that the association in Omaha is so well equipped to entertain a large gather- ing, and prove that the chief city of the state does not neglect the social and benevoient features of life. As A goneral principle vacancies in any branch of the military service should be filled by promotions from the army. The violation of this principle in asingle instance by President Harri- son, by appointing a civilian to a staff office, is causing him some annovance, the precedent having called out n large number of applications for similar places. Tt is understood that the presi- dent has determined to return to the afe old rule, and that the vacancies will be filled by promotions [rom the army.

[t appsars that Malloy has a son some nincteen yoars of ago who recontly conceived the idea that to be a man one must get married. Accordingly ho fixed his affec- tions upon one of the society buds of Pal- myra and sought her hand in marriage. His father, however, objected on the grounds that e eould not support a wife, had bad habits and spent his ovenings in saloons and other placesof questionable resort. But tho son concluded to getahead of his fathor,and he went to the home of his afianced, Palmyra, a lively little town in western Otoe county, married, and after a short stay with the parents of his bride, came home. Mr. Mal- loy received the newly married couple very frigidly, and informed them that he had no room in his house for them, slamumed the door in their faces und turned the key. His wife rebelled at this, for she had a tender regard for her son and the lady ho had chosen for better or worse, and she gave her liege lord to understand that be must provide shelter for them or he could no longer supply her with the comforts and necossaries of life, and at once quit the roof that had shel- tered her for twenty-five years.
