The testimony given by General Miles tothe senate commillee on relations with Canada regading the defenceless conditionof the Pacific coast, just pub- lished in the report of the committee submitted to the sente, has renewed attontion to amatter of ry consider- able concern to weslern interests. A good dealof what is now made public was furnished tothe press atthe time General Miles gave histestimony, but in- tor in it is even more active now than then by reason of the fact that the seal controversy hus reached a which makes the question ofour ¥ to do fond our comt on the Pucific very im- portant. It was well known long before the fact was stited by General Miles that we were practically defenceless in that quarter. Commodore Porter and olhers hal acquainted the comtry with the situation and pointed out the dan- gers. It was this information and the repeated appenls of the peaple of the constto congress which in part induced the senato to send a committee out there to investigate,. Theyfound that the de- foncelessness of the const had not been exnggerated, and that practically the whole line was vulnerable tothe attack of an enemy, who might do great de- siruction with a very moderate force. It is believed that the squadron which the British government could call together fromstationsin the Pacific within six weeks would be able to do as it pleased at polut or ata number of points on the constand get awsy with very little, it any, dam Tlere has to the expedicncy of Wmproving the de- fences on the Pacifie, but the matter of cost has led many whobelieve that some- thing shouldbe done to hesitate about embarking the government inan under- taking that might involve a vast ex- penditure, All the estimates for de- fensive works deemed to be adequate called for very large sums, and in viow of the progress making in the invention of destructive guns, torpedoes and tor- pedo boats it has been urged thatit would bewise to waitfor the development of a less costly system of defence thanhad been suggested.

It was only @ few weels ago that Sagasta was forced to protest against the pardon which the queen had been induced by ary advisors to grant to & gener who had been sentenced to arrest for grave breaches of discipline, and on the day when he left office heis known to have incurred the openly expressed resentment of Dona Christina by complaining that some of the bitterest attacks to which his admin- istration was subjected had originated in court cirles, Tmmediately ou receiving Sagasta’s gmation the queen, without realizing the danger of the step, intrusted the formation of a new gdmivistration to the con- servative leader, Senor Canovas.

According to cen- susfigures received from Washington, its population exceeds by 2000 thatof Kansas City. The victory of Omaha is a for Nebraska. It shows conclusively which way thetide of immigration is turing and that this state leads the west in actual growth, and it possesses the clements of permanent prosperity which make such a growth pos- sible. In this respoct Omaha speaks for every city between the Missouri and Wyo- ming. Town for town, Nebraska leads Kan- sas and Dakota in the percentage of increase of population for the past ten years, = kil Nebraska Convention, Siowr City Journal, A foretaste of the action of the convention was given when the preliminaries to the con- veution were arranged. The farmers partic demandedan early convention, inorder that they might hay 1y knowledge of party. They had strength thele demand. They also there should be abatement of wce by which so many con- ventions had been manipula the intor- estof the corporations. They enforced this demand also. The masses of the party thus were in position to t of the party machiner; icy to theiv own ends, The result of the convention was exactly what might have been expected under the cir- cumstances, The yeomanry of the party took hold with a grip that was ot only firm but unmistakable. It left its finger marks in the nominations for ofice as well as in the platform declarations. On the trans- portation the platform is cially dist ve and specific, and it commits the party uncquivocally not mevely to th ¥ of public controlof railroads but also to compulsory reduction of freight and passenger rates, to the equal taxation of ril- ong with other property, to the abol o of free passes and of all unjust dis- criminations, The platform aiso pr that the proprietors of ull public shall receive, store and handlo th persous alike, und alty and un regulation of che nd spection, 1t is noteworthy, too, that the Nebraska republi cans b ndorsoe tho silver bill which the party has carried to enactment. In short, the convention acled very much like an lowa convention. It was a good deal of a granger convention. It brought the party anization into complete and obvious har- mony with the mass of the voters. It in- augurated o new era for tho party in Ne- braska, an era of faithful reflection of tho popular will and, it need hardly be said, an of suc The absolute possession and to dictate its pol- question et ¢ ospe- pol er state When Daby was elek, we gave her Castorta, When she was a Child, she cricd for Castorls, ‘When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria, Whien sho bad Children, she gave them Castoria, NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST, Nebraska.
