The Sun's figures arc not veliable, so far as Nebraska is concerncd. The estimite of nine hundred thousand is too low. The school census of last April, with three as a multiple, gives the state a larger population than the Sun con- cedes, and it is safe to say that the com- ing census will show a -million and a quarter people in the state. —— Tne oflicers of the Indian Rights as- sociation have taken exceptions to tho strictures which have been made upon their course by a Denver paper, and which were published by The Bg As will bo seen by the letter of Mr, Herbert Welsh, corresponding secre- tary of the association, which we print in another column, the association de- sires Lo st itself right before the pubiio through a medium as prominent and influential as Tne Bee.

Jeannette M. Thurber, a grand concert, the proceeds to bo devoted tothe establishment of free scholarships. This most laudable proposul having been accepted, ur- rangements have been made for the concert to take place in March, at the Metropolitan opera house, New York, and it will undoubtedly be notable among the musical evenls of the season, The project of establishing in this country aconservutory of music national u its scope, with the sole object of ad- vancing art and doveloping nnd elevat- ing the musical taste of our people, merits the most generous public support aniappreciation, The National con- servatory is open to everyons who hus the necessary qualifications and is will- iug to comnly with its simple require- wents, gnd it offers facilities for obtain- ing a thorough musical education equal 10 most of the great schools of Europe. OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY Three years ago the booms boomlets that swoptthe great we a prairie fire created a diversion of eastern capital from 1ts old channels to the fertile region west of tho Missis- sippi. Many millions of doliars were invested by Boston, New York and hiladelphia capitalists in western farm mortgages. The middlemen who handled this money have doubtless bled miltions out of the men who borrowed, but in the main the mortgagor had the bene of cheaper money than he could possibly have secured formerly from local bankers. When the booms had collapsed and real estate speculation had resumed its natueal channels, the eastern money lenders be- came more cautious, Westerm farm mortgage loss in demand and loeal bankers reaped the advantage of o tightening money market. Then cams a goneral onslaugh along the line against wostern s ties in’ genernl and farm mortg: particular, This onslaught wa lated largely by political agitators who represented t the farms in Jown, Nebraska, K and Dakota were mortgnged for more than they would sell for, and the furmers of these states were nearly all insolvont. were \ nsas 0 countera the effect of these reckless utterances, THE BER, in com- mon with othor western newspapers, has caliod attention o the steady and healthy growth of the west and the de- velopment of its marvelous resources. We have denicd that the mortgage ords represent the actual debt of western farmers, This assertion is well founded. Nearly every mortgage given for monoy borrowed or in pi vment for land purchase represents adebt p ble in iustallments, The man whose farm is mortgaged for one thousand dollars may have five voars to pay tho princi- pal. Attheendof the fourth yenr he has paid off four-fifths of the debt,and only owes 4wo hundred dollavs, He simply has securod receipts for each payment or an endorsement of the same on the back of his not But the record shows that he still owes one thousand dollars, Two-thirds of the western farm mort- gages are in this condition. To repre- sent the face of the mortgages as the actual debt of western farmers is thero- fore fictitious. The condition of our farmers is by 10 means as prosperous as we should likke to see it, but the fact that coru is being burned for fuel and other proaucts are marketed at ruin- ously low prices, does not justify ties in representing all our farmers as bankrupts. The effect of such talk is very damaging and tends to keep for- cign capital out of the west TEN YEARS GROWIH, The progress of Omaha during the last ten years is scarcely appreciated even by those who have actively par- ticipated in the upbuilding of the city. Very few of them vealize the vastdiffer- ence hetecn the Omaha of 1880 and the Omaha of today. Lt is enough for them to know that results speak for tiemselves. A comparison of Tig Bei’s annnal review of Junuary, 1880, and that of January, 1890, teils a story of commercial and industéial develop- ment that challenges attention. Ten years ago Omaha had a popula- tion of thirty thousand. There were no pavements, no sewers, 10 viaducts, few streets were open west of T'wentioth, south of Jackson or north of Cuming. Within ten years Omaha has quadra- pled her population. Today this city has one hundred aud three miles of graded Streets, fifty-two miles of pave - ments and seventy-two and two-thirds miles of sewers, costing in the aggre- gate five million six hundrod and nine- teen thousand dollavs. Waterworks were not seriously talked of in 1879. Now Omaha can exhibit the most complete systom of wacerworks in the country, with one hundied and twenty miles of mains, and supplying over eleven hundred fire hydrants. Equally romarkabie is the enlarge- ment of the gas worke. The roview of 1880 speaks of the mains being exteaded to Cuming street on the north and Pierce strect on the south. Now there are duplicate gas works with forty miles of gas mains. . From five miles at the opening of 1880 the street railway system has grown to eighty-six miles of cable road, slectric motor and horse railway, with first class equipment, representing an investment of three miliions. " 1In 1879 five hundved and eighty-five buildings were erected at a total cost of one million and sixty-four thousand dollars, Last year two thousand and eighty-four buildings were erected, at atotal cost of eight million six hun- dred thousand -dollars. To this may properly be added the expenditures for public works and the investments of public corporat.ons, swelling the total for 1889 to eleven million eight hun- dred thousand dollars, The commercial and industrial growth of the city is equally surprising. The wholesale trade of 1870 was repre- sented by fifty-nine firms, whose busi- ness aggregated eleven million two hundred thousand dollars. In 1880 there were one hundred and ninety-one firms, with over teu-millions capital and sales aggregating forty-four million nine hundred and ten thousand dollars, Bighty firms with three and a half millions capital and employing seven- teen hundred and thirteen men, repre- sented the manufacturing industry ten years ago. The footings for 1880 show eleven thousand men ewployed and products valued at twenty-three and a half millions for the year. The pork packing and meat canning industry in 1879 is insignificant in com- parison with that of last year. Five small firms represented the nucleus of what has brought Omuha to third place among the stock warketsof the country, They packed seventy-four thousand hogs. In 1880 the number of hogs packed was nine hundred and thirty-one thousand four hundred and seventy- cight and one hundred and thirteen thousand three hundred and seven beeves. The value of the product was thirteen million dollars. Asa financial center Omaha has grown to the rank of seventcenth among the clearing house cities of the country, Tn 1870 there were t#0 national banks with deposits of two million eight hundred and ninety-nine thousand dollurs, and two private banks with about seven hun- dred thousand dollars on deposit. Now we have nine national and four state banks, besides several depositories, with « paid up capitai and surplus amounting to six million three hundred thousand dollars, over one million dollars invested in bank buiidings, and deposits nggre- gating §18,343,000, No less marked is the growth in edu- cational facilities. Atthe close of 187 there were nine public schools, valued with grounds at $459,000, and fifty teach- crs employed. Tn nddition there were five private schools. The total attend- ance was 3,168, Today there are fifty- two public schools, representing a prop- erty value of $1,500,000; teachers em- ployed, actual attendance, ! To these, must be adaed twenty-three private and ssctarian schools, making the total attendance in all schools 18,500, or nearly seventy per cent of the school popuiation of the city. « No American city whose population ten wo did not exceed thirty thousand can make such an oxhibit of substantial IMENTS. riotic feeling which prompts re to honor in marble or brass the heroes of the American revolution ap- pears to prevail as largeiy in the pres- ent congress as in many of its prede- cessors. Already a number of Dbills have been introduced for this purpose. Oune proposes the erection of a monu- ment on the site of Fort Ticonderoga to Ethan Allen, another is for a like memorial of General Nathaniel Greene, on the vattlefield of Guiliord Court House, where an engagement was fought March 1781, while still an- other bili proposes & monumert to Gen- ecal Davidson, killel afortnight earlier at Cowan’s Ford while commanding the North Carolina miiitin. In addi- tion to these, bills have been intro- duced for two monuments, to cost thirty thousand dollars each, for the battle- fields of Trenton and Princeton in New Jarsey. With so good a start thus early in the session, it may be expected that the Fifty-first congress will beat the record ot any of its predecessors in the watter of Froposed monuments. The task of marking the battlefields of the revolution will be acompara- tively easy one. Their number is lim- ited, and the end of the list may be soon reached. Butif all the deserving herocs of the great strugale for inde- pendence are to receive monumental recoguition the supply of candidates will make business for sculptors and monument builders for the next two ov three generations, and we should ulti- mately have a very large investment in these memorials. Yet the motive which prompts such recognition of the heroes and the heroic struggles of the revolu- tion is not to be contemned, nor should the investments be regarded as wasted which raise to the memory of those men or mark the scenes of their triumphs, sightly statues and monuments. There is instruction, education, an incontiv to patriotism, in every such memorial, It conveys a leason of devotion, cournge and crifice in the cause of freedom which it is desirable every citizen of the republic should learn, and which thousands would more surely and fully lewrn from these than from any other souwrce. The monu- ments of the old world ave the best instructors of its people in the vital events of national history, aud are the sources from which the casual trav- eler derives much of his historical in- formation. A free people, desiring the perpetuation of their institutions, and understandiug that the first require- ment for this is an enlightened patriot- ism, will not find it unprofitable tostim- ulate among the people the love of lib- erty by keeping them ever mindful of the heroic men who achieved the free- dom they enjoy. But manifestly there must be some discrimination in the performance of this patriotic duty. The nation can not 20 on erecting statues and monuments to all the men whose courage and sacri- fices contributed to the glory and suc- cess of the revolution. It will be suf- cient for all the purposes to be served by such memorials to 50 recognize only those whose wisdom and @deeds wmade them especially illustrious among their compatriots, and the I¥st of such will make us roch in statues and monuments. There may be a diference of opinion us to whether ithan Allen and Nathaniel Greene be- long in this list, distinguished though they were for great bravery, devotion and patriotism, but there can be no question that Davidson should not be included in it. It is possible to dimi; ish the valuec of mounumental honors by conferring them without wise discrim- ination. They should stand for such exceptional worth and achievement as command the respect and admiration of the world, When this is their char- acter they rvepay all they cost in the educating and invigorating influence they exert upon the patriotic sentiment of the people. S — INDIAN DEPREDATION CLAIM, The creation by the senate of a spe- cial committee for the consideration of Indian depredation claims will, ‘in all probability, hasten the drafting and vassage of & bill for the settlement of damages and the indemnifying of suf- forers from Indian depredutions on the frontier. 1t is to be hoped that this act of justica to several thousand ‘hardy frontiersmen, who lost their all in an offort to build up the west, will not be long delayed, There are hundreds of residents in Nebraska to whom the gov- ernment owes justly sums of money which, while small in individual cases, make up in the aggregate a large amount. The debt in each case was created by the failuve of the United States to protect its citizens from the forays and raids of the Indians, The dispatches from Washington note that Senator Paddock has introduced o bill in the senate which he will push in the committee on Indian depredations, of which he is « member, which pro- vides for a tribunal before whom ull claims for losses Irom Indian depreda- tions shall be considered and whose verdict upon such claims shall be bind- ing. This bill, with one introduced by Senator Dolph, and which provides for the sottlement by the court of claims of N all cases of like nature, is now being considered he committee on Indian depredation, Which promises to mako an early refort. As the house of rep- resentatives has had for some time a similar committee, which, in two suc- cessive conur@sos, has passed a bill for the adjudicaffn of 1osses of this naturo, there is a pgMpbect that before the close of the prese congress the people of the west wh ave long suffered silently under the iljfstice of delayed consid- eration williliuve an opportunity to se- curo a hearing. There can be no question of the obli gation of the government to reimburse its citizens for losses due to its own neg- ligence. The opening up and settle- ment of what was then the frontier and is vow ono of the rvichest agricul- tural secticns of our great country, was due to the industry, the energy and the daring of the pioneers, who, as- sured of protection in their advance, in many cases sacrificed life and property to render socure to others the resi- dences which they now enjoy. So long 08 the government assumed the guardi- anship of the Indian tribes 1o one breath and in another treated with them as independent nations, it was bound, as it is today, to see to it inits military capacity that its rds, or its allies, from whichever standpoint they may be considered, refrained from dam- Age upon its own citizens. In ¢ egard of this obligation, it has .for years re- fused to adjudicate the claims of wost- ern pioneers who laid the fouvdations of futuresettlements in a trail of blood and blazed the way to civilization through charrea homes and burning crops. Government is created for the protection and welfare of the individ- ual units of which it is composed. The peopie of the wost have the rght to de- mand that congress shall cease its de- lays in considering this important mat- ter and shall do justica to those who have suffered and lost in the upbuild- ing of the groat west. JACKSON'S HISTORIC HOME. It has been freely asserted, and with some justice, that the American peonle exhibit great iudifference in properly honoring the memory of departed fath- ersand saviors of the republic. In a material sense the charge is well founded, but in respect and veneration for the founders and preservers of the nation we are not willing to concede superiority to any people on earth. Foreign visitors have found good cause for reminding the country of an appar- ent indifference to the memory of na- tional heroes, and have pointed to the decay aud ruin that consvicuously mark the resting pluces of departed states- men. It must be admitted that this is one of the .shumeful features of American character. The hallowed home of Washington was for geunera- tions a standing disgrace to the coun- try, and not until individual patriotism had been aroused was Mount Vernon rescued from the hands of vandals and made the Mecea of all lovers of liberty. The Washington monument required half a century in building. Started by patriotic individuals whose means were not equal to their devotion the govern- ment had to be appealed to to complete what is today the loftiest monument on earth, commemorative of the deeds of the grandest chavacter in history. Indifference marks the efforts made to raise au appropriate shaft over the tomb of General Grant. The tombd of Thomas Jeflerson is said to be in a neg- lected condition, and the graves of many other noted presidents of the re- public have been allowed to go to ruin. In view of these deplorable condi- tions it is grutifying tonote that an effort is being made to restore and perpetu- ate the Hermitage, the historic home of Andrew Juckson. Like that which preserved Mount Vernon to the people, the movement is undertaken by ladies, who have organized the Hermitnge as- sociation. The plans and purposes of theso noble women arve set forth i a letter by Governor Taylor of Tennessea, in which e invites the co-operation and assistance of all admircrs of the hero of New Orleans. lhe manor is now the property of the state,” says the governor, *‘but recognizing the property right of the nation in his memory, Tennessee giadly surrenders to the whole people the sucred duty of caring for and perpetu- ating it, so that the Hermitage muy be- come, lilke Mount Vernon, a permanent attraction for patriots.” The amount reqjuired to restore this famous home is estimated at one hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars. It is proposed to raise this sum by inviting patriotic people to join the association on payment of one dollar and a half each. Extensive repairs will be neces- sary to restore the old man- sion to its original appearance, and to properly beautify the twenty-five acres of ground. In addi- tion it is desired to purchase the furni- ture, pictures, carringes, ete., now owned by Colonel Andrew Jackson. The fame of General Jackson is not bounded by a state. It properly belongs 10 the nation.” Taw leaders in the his- tory of the ¢guntry possessed greuter charms for young and old. In war and in peace he displayed the valorof a born chieftain and the unbending force of sincere corfjfution, His life marked an era in American history, political, social and indastrial, It was fitting, therefore, that Wednesday last, the anniversary of the battle of New O¥ftans was obsérved by inaugurating a movement to pre- serve the Hermitage from the ravages of time. Every effort calculated to pro- tect homes hallowed by associati ous ap- peals 0 every generous oitizen, and it is hoped that the appeul of the patriotic ladies of Tenunessee will moet with a liberal response, so that the historic home of Jackson may become a perma- nent object lesson in lovalty, courage and devotion to the principles of liberty. Ee——— REAPING THE BENEFITS. Whatever may be the formal outcome of the Pan-American congress, Mr. Blaine hus won a great victory in the results already manifesting themselves as the natural consequence of the gath- ering. Orders have begun to pour in upon American manulactu products of Awerican labor, seen the first time by the South American delegates, and plans are nearing con ' pat through the naturalization process and of | sent as ministor to Hayti with full discre- summation for the establishment steamship lines which will incrense the commercial facilities between the twin continents, The American republics have loarnod theough the personal in- spection of trusted representatives that the United States is able tosupply many of commercial nceds which have heretofore been monopolized by England and Germany. Tho warm welcome everywhere afforded the delegates, the more than fortaal courtesies universally oxtended have had their effect. Tho desire for botter trade areangement has been awakened, Much yet remains to be done on the part of congress and American facturers. England has expended sinco 1852 moce than a hundred millions of dollars in building up commercial con- nections between her ports and those of South America. Commencing with heavy subventions, as trade was stimu- lated by the rogula am service for the carriago of goods, she has stoadily decreased her aid until the total annual payments made for careying the mails to South Ameriean ports are now loss than three million dollars, & sum scarcely a fifth of that paid thivty years ago. The policy then adopted and since successfully carried out by Great Britain manu- will meet with approval in this country without radical modifications. Jut there would be very much less ohjection in all probability, to a plan having for its prime aim the up-building of a me chant marine, which in time of war could be made auxiliary to our navy as fast cruisers or transports, and which in rveturn for such pro-emptive right of the government to its services in time of war and its use as mail carriers in time of peace, could be paid a suflicient sub- vention to make its operation remunecr- ative to its owners, Such a plan would obviate the most formidable objections to a subsidy tem, which since the Pac Mail dis- closures have been a stench 1n the nos- trils of our taxpa, Merchant vessols under its provisions would bo con- structed on plans approved by the nav department with a view to their offi- cient use when mneeded, and would be paid an annual retainer as are the French and English fast passenger steamers for the right of their immedi- ate confiscation by the government. But with ample steam facilities once afforded,the manufactures of the United States will still have much to do to place themselves on an equal footing in South America with those of other countries. 1t will be necessary for them to familiarize themselves with the commercial nceds of their new patron with the unusual methods of transacting business which prevail, with the long ecredits, the short measures, the strange forms of packing #oods and the peculiar colors and fabrics required by the peoplo. They cannot hope, asthey have already discovered after many experiments in Mexico to force their own taste in fab- rics and packages upon a conservative and self-satisfied peopie. A great por- tion ot English and German success in South America is due to the prompt ac- commodation of manufacturers from those countries of their own commer- cinl ideas to the ideas of those with whom they are dealing. Tt will finally be discoverad, we are certain thata number of international customs barriers must be battered down before the full and fruitful results sought for can be accomplished. MR.
