So far the schemes of the builders have beon us great a suc- ©ess as tho road has been a failure as o traflie route. ( —— NORTH DAKOTA'S lottery bill has ool- 1npsed. The scheme to wreck the publie morals of the young state by legalizing gowbling was engineered by the notor- fous ex-Senator Spencer of Alabama. The plan was perfected wmore thun 8 your ago, aud was a strong secret fuc- tor in the stato campaign, Thut it was fuirly certnin of sueccess was demon- strated by the large majority 1t secured io the senate, but the irresistible force of public opinion compellod the friends of the bill to abaudon it. The result is & geatifying defeat of boodlers, INVIZES IMMIGRATION. The large delegation of citizens of Kansa representing nearly every county in thatstate, who were in Omaha to confer with the Trans-Missour: pas- songor nssociation regarding reduced rates for immigrants from the eastern etates to Kansas, is suggestive of what Nebraska should do in a like direction. The desire of these representatives of Kansas is tosecure an explorer’s ticket from the east to that state, 80 that any one wishing to in- vestigate the conditions there and look up a desirable location for settlement can be enabled to do so at a reduced cost for traveling, and also to obtain a half-fare ticket for the emi- grant and his family going from the east into Kansas. It fs a movement to encourage emigration to that state which is worthy of the attention of the people of Nebraska. Nobody question that our people have been somewhat slow and derelict in this matter of 1nviting and fa- cilitating immigration. The ter- ritorial orgamzations of Kan- &as and Nobras! were ef- focted at the same time, 80 that in this respect they rothor in the race for n pm-pmm Unques- tionably Kansas enjoyed some advant- ages, and her eariier admission as a stato was porhaps the most important of these, but itis to be said ts the credit of her people that they have shown most commendable enterprise and en- ergy in building up the common wealth, During the past ten years the growth of Nobraska in population has been relatively more rapid than that of Kansas. In 1880 the popu- lation of the latter was more than dou- Dble that of Nebraska, while in 1885, ac- cording to the state censuses, the population of Kansas was not much more than one-third greater than that of Nebraska. Doubtless the next na- tional census will show the difference to Do still further reduced. But there is reason to believe that our gain would have been very much larger if adequate and systematic effort of o thoroughly practical character had been made to keep the claims of Nebraska before the attention of the peonle of the east, and provision made for facilitating emigration to this state. The movement of the Kansas cf L suggests that our people should put forth some effort in a similar direction. There is room in Nebraska for several times its present population. but with the active competition all about us our growth must be slow unless we can offer to emigrants inducements as favorable as other states. In every natural advantage, as climate, soil and productiveness, wo may safely challenge comparison with any portion of the west, but while keeping this be- fore the attention of people in the east who are looking for homes in the west, 1t is also necessary that we make pro- vision for facilitating their coming. Our Kansas neighbors set an examplo we may wisely and profitably emulate. THE MORMON DEFEAT. The defeat of the Mormonsin Salt Lake City was notso overwhelming as the figures of the registration lists promised, or as the leaders of the lib- oral party expected it would be, but it is enough. It takes the control of affairs in the capital and stronghold of Mor- mondom out of the hands of the Saints, and with this accomplished the Gentile majority of a few bundred will be very largely increased when the next election arrives. The im- medinte effect of the liberal purty’s victory will be to draw population and capital to Salt Lake City, and it will not be surprising if it shall induce a large number of young Mormons to throw off the control of the church and 1dentify themselves with the new order of things. It is well known that many young men of Mormon parentage realize the stigma that attaches to them in general public opinion, and it is not to be doubted that some of these will very gladly accept the opportenity npow offered them to he relicved of a thraldom which must now become less bearable than ever and to put themselves n line with the overwhelming and irre- sistible public seutiment of the coun- try. Deteat is the most powerful of ar- guments, and the Mormon church will find great difficulty in overcoming the conviction it will earry to the minds of many of its intelligent young men that the church is not the divinely ordered and protected institution they have been taught to believe it. Nor would it be surprising i{ this de- feat induced a considerable Mor- mon exodus from Uwah, Several months ago it was announced that a colony of Mormons from Utah had purchased an extensive, tract -of land in British Columbia, and that fivo hundred families will settle on it next spring. Unless this scheme of coloni- zotion is interfered with by the Cana- dian authorities, is now threatened if it shall appaar that the colonists ad- here to polygamy, a much greater num- ber than has been contemplated will very likely move across the vorder. It must be mumfest to the Mormons of Utah that their contest against the government and the pub- lic sentiment of the country is entirely hopeloss, und that they must choose botween the alternatives of obedionce to the laws or migeation. Undoubtedly some of thein will accept the former, but perhaps the majority will seck a new and less inhospitable habitat. . At any rate the fight Utah is nearing the end, if indeed the result in Salt Lake City has not prac- tical,y finished it. THE MEELING OF PARLIAM Tho tory parliament of Great Britain and Ireland has eatered upon its fourth year, and the session just begun prom- ises tot be eventful and interesting, Ministerial intentions have been kept very secret, but the so-called speech of the queen, which ismerely the enuncia- tion of the ministers, promises some measures of importance. Chief among theso will be s bill for improving the local government of Ireland, which it is said will be framed upon the same lines as the local government acts already passed for Eogland and Scotland, It is also understood that there will be introduced ® “land pur- 4 chase hfll tor Ireland of some sort, the government is represcnted tobe distinetly anxious over this and other vhases of Trish legislation and debate. The crofter disaffection in Scotland, which disclosed a state of affairs that is A serious reproach to the kingdom, will bo a subject of investigation by & royal commission. it 1is probable there will be a determined eoffort to bring John Walter, of the London T%mes, to the bar of the house astho libeler of a member of parliament, which would doubtless have dramatic results, The foderal idea which ap- pears o be rapidly growing in favor in astralasian colonies will undoubt- edly command attention during the session, and since the movement in those colonies involves possibilities of grave importance to Great Britain, the matter may become one of the most in= teresting which parliament will be called upon to consider. The agitation in Eugland for free education "receives 10 attention in the speech of the queen, but tho government will not find it easy to wholly ignore this matter, which obviously has taken u very strong hold upon the popular mind. The com- promise by the Zimres of the Parnell case has stimulated the [rish members, and the Parnell commission may be ex- pected to figure prominently in the carly debates of the session. A bill au- thorizing the issne of notes on o silver busis is probuble, though the proposal is meeting with vigorous opposition from the banks. It is thus apparent that the present session of parhiament will be a busy one, and that a considerablo part of its de- liberations will be of universal interest. As to the talk about n probable speedy dissolution, a while ago somewhat freeiy indulged in, there appears not the slightest reason for giving it any credence, while there ave reasons why the tory-whig alliance should shrink from going before the country a day sooner than it is obliged to by law. The most convincing of these reusons is the fact that since 1887 the tory-whig majority has doclined from one hun- dred and twenty-two to eighty-eight, a clear indication that the country is against the coalition which rules this parliament, and its almost uniform losses in bye-clectious must have con- vineed the coalition that a challenge to the country would be a gratuitous risk ot overwhelming disastor, Besides, a majority of eighty-eight is quite enough 10 go on with, and there are very ur- gent and persuasive reasons for going on. Nothing but a defeat is therefore likely to disturb the presont ministry, and that is a very remote, though by no wmeans an impossible, contingency. SENATOR P GREW of South Da- kota appears to take an exaggerated view of the injury that may pos- sibly result to that state from the reports regarding destitution in por- tions of it, and in his efforts to refute the statements that have been sent out goes farther 1n the other direction than the facts justify. It is quite probable that the condition of affairs in several of the counties of South Dakota has been represented to be worse than it really is, put there can be no doubt that there has been and is still a great deal of privation and suffering, and that without the outside aid that has been given in response to the ap- peals made the story of destitution in South Dakota would be a very much sadder one than it is. There 1t not now, however, any misunderstanding in the public mind as to the fact that the unfortunate state of affairs is confined to a very small part of South Dakota, and with this knowledge it "is entirely unreasonable to suppose that any serious harm can . _résalt to the state at large. The agri- cultural record of South Dakota 18 so well established that there need be no fear that the misfortunes of one senson, couflned to a small area, will discredit the stute among those sceking new homes in the west. The patriotic solicitude of Senator Pettigrew is doubtless entirely commendable, but it was necessary that the suffering people of his state should be relieved, and the fact that this is being done will make no difference with the future prosper- ity of South Dalo! —— A TEMPORARY injunction having been granted restraining the collection of special taxes for puving of streets surrounding Hanscom park , it becomes the duty of the city council to shelve all plans for further improvement of those stroets, ,until the questiou is finally. determined. The injustice of shoulder- ing on the city the whole cost of work alrendy done isa glaring one, in view of the vast benefits coiferred on abut- ting property. Even if the letter of the deed conveying Hanscom park to the city can be strawned to justify a re- stratning order, it does not signify that after a full and final hearing the court will sanction the schome of tax shirkers to evade payment for spec- ial benefits directly conferred. The state supreme court, in the case of Hanscom against the city, decided that no property could be exempt from spec- inl tuxes. In this case the city sought to exempt church property from paying its shure of the cost of the Jackson street sewer. This broad and just prin- civle applies with greater force to the k property than to the city asa whole. Positive and permanent bene- fits wore derived from the paving, and the mon who attempt to repudiate their honest obligations agitated and urged the work and selected the material, DENOCRATIC orgaus are needlessly alarmed over the number of bhills ap- propriating money introduced in con- gress. This cluss of legislation is ot monopolized by either party, but the fact that less than ten per ceut of such bills are passed, is a guarantee that only such measures as arve essential to public welfare will find favor with the majority.

And now the dispatches from Washington, which doubtless are based on information secured from Senator Manderson, announce that the delay in getting title to tho property is embarrassing the senator in securing an increased appropriation. This not all. The delay has department and may fing pel the secratary of the treasury to revise his decision, U he does, the citizons of Omaha may finaily discover that Tie BER was eminently correct in advocating a site to which a title could have been procured within thirty d The growing importance of Balti- more asan export city causes much uneasiness in Noew York, and well it may. During 1589 the exports of agri- culturat products from Baltimore in- crensed one hundred per cent, while those of New York decreased. Having almost a monovoly of the import trade New York has for years exhibited in- difference to the needs of shippers, ox- acted excessive sums for stovage and lighterage and failed to provide ample warchouse and elevator facilities. What New York has neglected Balti- more has taken pains to supply. The marked incronse in her shipping traffic affords striking proof that commercial supremacy can only be maintained by recognizing the demands of trade.
