The consideration which the farmers of the country generally are giving o the subject of ameliorating their condi- y commonded and encouraged. The depression of the ag- ricultural intercst is A matter of very grave concern to the whole people. It affocts the prospecity of every commor- cial interest and is & check to the ma- terial progress of the nation. If our farmers were united in their endeavor to procure relief, and their ef- forts centered in favor of reforms that are within their reach, their condition would within a very brief period be ma- terially improved. Unfortunately their strength and influence is being wasted upon visionary schomes and upon nos- trams vecommended by agitators and political quacks. Ordinarily our farm- ersare gifted with a good deal of prac- tical, horse sense, but whenever times are hard, money is scarce and the price of farm products low, they los their level-headed sonso and jump at any wildeat scheme that, promises them more money or relief from their creait- ors, Within the past three months peti- tions have been received and billsintro- duced in congress, “by request,” for the most impracticable of measures of relief and redres All these schemes are paternal in their nature and en- tirely beyond the powers and functions of our government, or, for that matter, any other government. For instance, it ie proposed that the government shall build elevators, warchonses and corn cribs all over the country, store the surplus products of the farmer and advance them eighty per cent of the market value of such products at a very low rate of intevest until disposed of by the owners. How could the government go intoe the storage, commission and loan busin And what branch of the government should take charge of all this storage and loan ageney? If the surpius products of the farmers are to be stored, why not also store the sur- plus products of our factories and mills? Aunother schemo which is spreading prairie fire among western farm- that the goverameat shall loan at two per cent to all farmers in debt, and Lold tho farms as for the payment of prineipal and interest. Could thero be anything more visionary and impracticable? If the government is to come to the relief of men who have mortgaged their farms, it must also loan money to the men whose homes are mort- to the merchant and sturer whose morchandise wa are subject to seizure by creditors. In fact, it would have to come to the rescue of everybody who has gone into debt and overybody who desires to go wto business pro- vided they can secure the government by a mortgage on atown lot, a mill, a factory or a farm, Ovur farmers should bear that they ard not the only people who are in debt by vreason of hard times. On the uverage. between two hundred and fifty and three hundred business firms go into bankruptey every week and their assets have to be given up to satisfy their creditors, Why should not the government help these men tide over their distress and pull them out of the hole by loaning them money at two per cent? Is it rational or reasonable to ask the government to undertalke for any one ciass what it will not do for another class? The farmers should dismiss from their minds all foolish notions about looking to the in mind government for relief from debt. Our government is not 1nsti- tuted for such purposes. All that our farmers have a right to expect and demand of the government is that 1t shall not grant special privileges to one class at the expense of another; that it shall protect them from unjust exactions by the tax gatherer and public earrier, and pursue a policy that will prevent combinations, syndicates and trusts from levyiug tribute upon the producer and consumer, 10WA'S NEW GOVERNOR. For the first time in thirty-five years Towa has u democratic governor. The delayed innuguration of Governor Boies was marked by a degree of democratic interest and enthusinsm commensurate witha due appreciation of the event from a party standpoint. Not only was the democracy of Iewa largely repre- sented at Des Moines, but the party in other states furnished large delegn tions to swell the chorus of gratifica- tion at the return of democratic administration in the Hawkeye state. So far as the demonstration was concerned, the new ad- ministration began auspiciously, and it is doubtless the wish of all good citizens of Towa that it will make a record to the honor and advantage of the state, The inaugural address of Governor Boies is elaborate, and very clearly and intelligently defines his position on the important guestions which will demand legislative attention. He falls into line with the advocates of ballot reform, and without specifying any particalar tem, urges that the most effectunl way to banish from all elec- tions the corrupt wuse of money, und secure to the stato the unbiased judgment of each elector, is to compel thedeposit of a secret bullot, IRegard- | ing the railroads the attitude of tho | governor is consorvative. While he would mmntain the right of the state to exercise in the interest of the public a most caveful supervision over every mode of transportation within its juris- diction, he would have thisright so exercised as not Lo cripple the railroads and disconrago their development in the state, *‘It is no wrong to the rai! way iunievests of this state,” says the governor, “‘that our people aesi they ouly demand that their own inte: osts shall be fuirly treated.” There is nothing in what Governor Boles says respecting the railroads which the cor- porations can reasonably find fault with, and on the other hand the people way find in it & good deal to approve. It does uot afford ground, however, for any sufe or satisfactory iuference as to what the governor might do regarding railroad legislation. On the subjectof the tariff Governor Boies tukes no equivo- cal position. “*We have followed this delusion of a protective tariff,” he says, “‘with the blind faith of a devotee, THE OMAHA DA listening to the most decoptive of argu- ments, believing in the most potent of fallacies,” and he concludes: ‘“‘Let it be understood that the peoplo of this state demand cheap clothing, cheap fuel, cheap implemonts of lubor—in short, cheap necessarios,” The most important part of the ad- dress relatos to the question of prohibi- tion, to which the governor gives ex- tended consideration and iutelligent discussion. o snys rogarding the pro- hibitory law that “no statute was ever supplied with botter facili- ties for its enforcoment, or armed with more excessive penalties for its violation, considering the nature of the acts prohibited, and vet with all its wrrors, with every branch of the state government in the hands of its friends, it has lain limp and lifeless, ignored, disregarded and dospised in most of the large cities of the state from the day of 1ts birth to the vresent time.” e asserts that the friends of the law ignore the real situ- ation and assume too much, exaggerat- ing the extent of intemporate habits among the people before its enact- ment and equaily so tho diminution of such habits since it be- came operative. He declares that it cannot be demonstrated that the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage 1n Towa has diminished since the law took offect, while it is a patent fact that in many of the cities, containing a large fraction of the povulation, the only effect of the law has been to velieve the traffic 1n liquors from local restraint of every kind. Furthermore, he suys it is notorious that in the large cities of the state where the open saloon has been closed a socret traflic sufficient to supply all the wants of the trude has immediately foilowed. The governor does not agree with those who argue that it is better that this busi- nessshould be conducted in violation of law than 1t is that it be conducted in pursuance thereof, and he makes a vigorous argumont for a policy of high license and local option, so that the liquor trafiic shall be taken out of im- moral and irresponsible hands,and com- munities thut do uot want it can ex- clude it.” What he says on this sub- ject, which will be found in full else- where in our columns, is well worthy the attention of those interested iv it. RESUBMIT 1HE QUESTIO. The action of the state auditor in refusing to register the Omaha school bonds voted at the last city election will, in our ovinion, necessitate the resubmission of the school bonds propo- tion. Leading atworneys may con- sider the bonds valid, and for aught we know they are valid. It is, however, ssentinl that these bonds shall be ered in. the auditor’s office in reg! order to remove all possible doubt from the minds of investors. Any flaw in the bonds,however trivialand technical, would affect their selling price if it did not absolutely prevent a sale. The shortest way out of the difficulty is a new election and a full compliance with all the requirements prescribed by the auditor. The only point on which the auditor may be at variance with a sound con- struction of the law is upon the qualifi- cation of voters. The auditor insists that only men and women who own real estate or have paid a personal pro- perty tax or who have children in at- tendunce at school are entitled to vote at a school election. Section 1 of arti- cle VII of our state constitution defines the rightsol suffrage asfollows: Every male person of the age of 21 yeors or upwards, belonging to eitter of the fol- lowing classes. who shall have resided in the state six months, and in the zounty, precinct or ward for the term provided by law, shall be an electos 1. Citizens of the United States. 2. Persons ot foreign birth who shall have declared their intention to become citizens conformably to the laws of the United States on the subject of naturalization at least thirty days prior to an elestion, Section 22, article I, Bill of Rights, provides that all elections shail be free and there sha 1 be no hindeauce or im- pediment to the right of a qualified voter to exercise the elective franchis The legislature may under certain conditions grant women the privilege 16 vote at school elections, but any law that will 1mpose a property qualifica- tion upon a male citizen who is an clector and has n right to vote at uny election would be an im- pediment and in direct contravention of the Bill of Rights and constit tional provisions regarding the right of suf- irage. So much is clear and beyond contro- versy. At least we do not suppose thav any lawyer or even law student would contend to the contrary. On this point, however, the state au- ditor is hardly disposed to malke a quib- ble. His objections, fortified by deci- sions of the courts, are chiefly to tne fact that the proclamation was issued by the mayor, and the point raised that the number of votes cast for the bonds was not & majority of all the votes cast at that election, and further- more that no provision was made in the proclamation for a tax levy to meet the interest on the bonds. These objectionable features can only be eliminated by another election. T'hat election should be held as soon as the law will permit. as theve is no time to lose. MR, PERRY 8. HEATH has been given much prominence by the republicans of the Sixth congressional district of In- diann us an available successor to Gen- oral Thomas M. Browne, the present representative of that district, who de- clines to be a candidate for re-clection. Mr. Heath is very popular with men of both parties in the district, which has also been the scene of his most active and useful political work. It is understood that Mr, Heath will not enter the field for the nomination, but it is probable he will receive a strong support in the convention. The republicans of the district could seiect uo more capable man to represent them in congress. Mr. Heath is a gentleman of scholarly attainments and his long residguce in Washington has made him very familiar with public affairs and with the ways of the house of repro- sentatives, Few men in the country are so well equipved as Mr. Heath for the discharge of coungressional duties, i 4 ) M RK . ) y and his republicanism 15 of the kind that is relidble under all circumstances involving ‘4N§ welfare of the party.

The storm of the present week extended over a vast stretch of '¢ountry, enveloping the ranges of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and portions.of Utah, Colorado and Da- kota. The effect on stock can hardly fail to equal the destruction wrought by the storms of February, 1886. Owing to the sovere drought of last summer, the 2rass on the ranges, with the exception of narrow strips bordering the streams, was almost buryed to the roots. Stock suffored in consequence, and is not in condition to withstand the rigor of a so- vore winter. Reports from the ranges present a discouraging condition of af- fairs, A succession of bud seasons, coupled with low prices, is cortain to drive scores of investors out of the busi- ness if the provailing storms continue much longer. Such a result would se- riously affect the prosperity of the northwest, and cause a sharp advance in the price of beef.

Leese presented the fotlowing resolution and moved its agoption: Whereas, ‘The local rates in force in the state cf Nebraska are exorbitant and there- fore unjust and unerasonablo, therefore be it Resolved, That the secretaries of this boara be and they are hereby instructed to formulate a new scheaule of “rates for the adoption of the various lines of railroads in thisstate, aud that the rates of said new schedule shall 80 reduce the tariff now in force that the same shall not exceed the rates of transportation now in force in the state of lowa; and, be it further Resolved, Ihat the said new schedules be prepared and returned to this board forth Strange as 1t may seom, he coud not got a secoud to it. Chairman Benton put the motion to the sttting board and cailea for a second two or three times, but Secretary Cowdery und Commissioner Steen held their seats down and remained as mum as ovsters. 1 he pause was sublime. Cowdery broke it, however, by moving that the meeting ad- journ until next Monday at 10 o'clod in the moroing in order to permit the attendance of State Treasurer Hill, who had expressed a des to be present at the meeting of the board when the matter of local froight re ductions was considercd. Leese seconded it and iv carried. He wanted a second pres- ent that he might press his resolution for local reduction to lowa rates. TYE DISTRICT COURT. Yesterday and today the Hon. A. W.

CITY NEWS AND NOTES A woman by the name of I'ra; lives on ttie north side of L between Kighth and Ninth streets, went aftor her husbana last night with a gun, She shot at him and came near endiag bis life. Tne bullet passed sy the rim of his hut within a quarter of an inch of his temple. Jealousy 18 aileged 10 have been the cause of the shooting. Arthur Puyne, an ex-convict, evidently hates to leave Lincoln. Something like a year ago, with Willie Brooks, he was sen= 10 serve a terw in the pen for burg- larizing 1d Maxwell's room. — His attornay, however, by hard work secured a reversal of the decision of the lower court, and the boys were promptly liborated. Young Payne's mother, who resides iu Swux City, Ia , sent his attorney money w vay Arthur's fare bome, and last night he purcnased a ticket, put him on the train and, as ho supposed, started him en route happy and contented. No sooner, however, was he out of sight than Payne left the train and sought to sell hus ticket, and ho is still in the city. Mt E JACKSON'S PARLISANS, or, who rey Halumore Darkies Make it Warm for the Pugilisi's Detractora, Bavrivore, Md., Feb. 27.—[Special Tele- gram to Tug Bee.|—Ever since the arrival here of Peter Jackson, the colored popula tion has been wild with excitement, and the pugilist 18 50 beset that he hardly finds time 10 get food and slcep. His appearance on the street is the sizual for a gatheriog. Th squares in the vicitity are black with darkies anxious to pay homage to the black fighter, At the Monumental theater, where Jacksou gives nighuly performancos, the negroes seek- ing admission block thewtreets as well as the entrance w the theator, Sometimes adverse criticisms are passed on Jackson's form and theu a fight follows. Monday night & white man expressed the opinion that Jackson was no matoh for Salli- van, whereupon @ darky sittiog near him dealt him a blow botween the eyes and broke up theconversation. A free fight was only prevented by a policoman dragging out Jucksou's adwirer. Yesterday evening there was & pitched bat tle immediately after the performunce con- ciuded. The whites had prepared then- solves, sud no sooner did Jackson show up, surrounded by bis black retinue, than the trouble began. From Front street Lo Har- rison, the street fronting the theater, was packed with whites who were well supplied with rotten eggs and bricks. These soon flew at a lively rate and Jackson was kept dodgiug as he walked Ihuslunllul. He was struck only ouce, but the Kies about him were not so fortunate. Some of these haa Sbeir Sunday clothes ruined, while others | suftored with out heads. Several show win - dows were smashed and others damaged, The police broko up the fight and arrested soveral ringionders. - COMING SOOIETY MARRIAG Yznagato Wed Miss Mabel Wright, the New York Heaaty, New Yonk, Feb, 97,—|Special Telogram to Tux Ber. |—The olubs .umumwm.ymm/ of town have been very much interested du ing tho past fow days over the aunoun mout made, apparently on good authority, that Miss Mabel Wright, who s held by some people to bo the most beautiful woman in Now York, had become engaged o Ferdi- nand Yznagw, at one time the brother-in ! 1aw of W.

GREAT ENGLISH FORTUNES, b More Millionaires Than Sunposed on the Livtle Island, One censes to wonder at the amount of British capital seeking investment in the United States after looking over a year's record of money left by them within the United Kingdom, the “per- sonalities” of dead Britain, or of de- ceased residents of Great Britain, sworn 0 i 1889 for purposes of probate aud of succession duty reaching imposing sums, says Chatter. One dry goods jobber in Manchester died possessod of $10,500,000 of personal proverty:a Clyde shipbuilder comes next with $3,300,000, and o member of the groat banking house ot the great Barings follows hard upon with him $4,500,000, A seion of the hou e of Oriean GrefTuihe, died pos: d of 83,300,000, in England; and a ttish poer, tho earl of Leven und Melville, left for di- vision nmong his heir: 300,000, What we eall millionaires—nobody there with less than $5.000,000 being g0 de- nominated—were numerous. Manches- ter alone had ten of them from $2.100,000 of “‘porsonalty® $1,000.000. James Jameson, the gr Dublin distiller, left $2,400.000 of hard \, cash, or what may bo called its prob- able equivaleat, and in Koglang Brewer Dan Thwaites left $2,300,000. - A Cork beawer, W. H. Crawford, had asworn *‘personalty’ of £1,000,000, and there were eight other deceased brew- ers whose estales wers linble to succes- sion duties on §6,000,000. Tt is figures like these that impress on the English mind the ic that there is in beer, as Generally Count ranging o there was in De, Johns®’s duy, “‘the potentiaiity of growing rich beyond the dream of avarice. ven the railroad magnates left a less impressive aggrogate, though one of thom—Sir Daniel Gooch, chairman of the Great Western—died possessed of 0,000, and of two railroad engineers was worth §500,000 and the other $440,000. The richest reprsentative of the iron industry, who died ju 1880, was a man- ufacturer of plows, worth #1,100,0)0—u sum exceeded by the personalty of a London gas-fitter, whose heirs divided the snug little sum of $1,200.000. But even he does not cowe up to John Ne- vill, baker—who ever heard of a mill- ionaire baker on this side of the Atlan- tib?-—-whose “‘personalty” is sworn at $1.400,000. It must be remembered that all thisis in personul or movable property, and that reul estate does not count in the enumeration, not being linble to succes- sion duty, —— Speaker Reed ana the Democrats.
