A HOMZONTAT raise of ten per cent in the vaxes of North Dakota is calcu- lated to forcibly remind the residents of the costly folly of piling on a young state a roster of officers equal to that of Towa or Neorasla, Tue masterly inactivity displayed in connection with the world's fair has pro- duced a significant moderation in the tone of Chigago papers in discussing New York and the Grant monument, “Peoplein glass houses,” et Tie democratic governor of Missouri proclaims his sympathy for labor, but cannot find anything in the statutes to authorize anofficial vecognition of Labor day. 'Twas ever thus, Democracy rarvely fuils to snub those who boost the leaders into office. Tne dethronement of King Kalakaua and the establishment of a Hawaiian re- pullic is expected at any time. It is %ared, however, that King Calico has put his throne insoak for rum, and the revolutionists would have to redeem it before they could transact business, Tre Pullman car company’s stock is selling at two hundred and thirteen and the company is sald to be earning on the basls of fifty million dollavs and paying eight per cent. The Illinois state board of equalization is after it, but it sets up the plea that it paystaxes in all other states. When aman puts his property on wheols itis sometimes easy to evade the assessor, THE bullionaires ave still in the sad- dle in Washington, Notwithstanding favorable legislation which placed mil- lions in their pocket, they want the earth and the inhabitants thoveof to puy them tribute. The levying of a tax on Mexican lead oves used in reduction works in this country places an unneces- sary burden on groat industvies for the benefit of tho bullionaires. m——————— Jupar Scorr of the Illinois state board of equalization stated at a mee ing of the board that fully one billion dollars of property had escaped taxation in that state, And the worst partof it is, the rieh corporations were the ones who had made false veturns, The poor and middle classes had been assessed but the rich escaped the burden. While the figures would probably notrunso high, in Nebraska relatively the same state of affairs exists, Taw makers cor- tainly have a splendid opportunity to devise means whereby the whole people, in proportion to thelr possessions, shall their just amount of taxes. When such a luw shall have been enforced, the rate of taxation will be reduced in a wonderful dogree, THE PROMTBITION TICKET. The prohibitionists of Nebraska have placed a ticket in the fleld. This is very natural bocause there are more prohi- bitionists who desire to build up a permanent prohibition party than there ave prohibitionists who are supporiing prohibition as bul- wark of temperanco, Tho strict party vote for prohibition in this state wis o fraction less than ten thousand in 1688, but it is doubtful wiether the pro- hibitionists can muster as many votes for their state ticket this fall as they did two years ago. A very lurge percent age of the voters who voted the pro- hibition ticketin 1888 are in the ranks of the Farmers’ Alliance this year and they will not dess the alliance ticket bocause their candidate for governor, Powers, is an avowed prohibitionist and the majority of the candidates on that ticket are prohibitionists, The new recruitsto the ranles of the pro- hibitionists will this year come from the cities, chielly from chureh members who have been talked into and preached into the prdlaibhition man! Whether they will more than offset the prohibition voters who are committed to the alli- ance ticket is problematic, The largest guin for the prohibition party will be made in Douglas county, wh their ticket received but four hundred and thivty votes in 1888. This yenr they miy quadruple that nunber, as the alli- anco ticket will practically cut no figure in Douglas county excopt among the workingmen, who are nearly all opposed to prohibition, The staunch prohibitionists realize hy this time that the chances for ¢ ing the amendment in Nebraska are very slim, hence they have sagaciously do- ded to hold their forees together with aview of mantaining their standing in the national prohibition movement, which they hope to make formidable in the not very distant futur DEATH OF CHARLES 1. DEWEY. In the deathof Hon Charles H. Dewey Omaha loses not only an enterpr and suceessful business man, but a cit whose public spivited liberali unfaltering fricndshipeontributed to the material advancement of this eity and state, + M. Dewey wasin the broadest sense of the word a cosmopolitnn, Ile had visited everyland on the face of the globe and wns as familiar with the to- pography of T.ondon, Pavis, Venice, Naples, Constantinople, Cairo, Caleutta and Yokohama as he was with that of Chicago, San Francisco and New York. But Omaha was his favorite cily and wherever he traveled Omaha was always held up a8 the most prc of westorn citios. In every fibre of i make-up he was thovoughly an Ameri- can, and in all his voyages and travels he took pride in his own nationality and never failed to assert his Americanism on every ocea- sion. Imhis v he was unussum- ing and unpre Like all men of positive nuture, he was a true friend or abitter enemy, and while he professed 10 religion he practiced the tenetsof Christinnity by a charity that did not lot the left hand lknow what the right hand doeth. Such a man leaves a void in the com- munity that cannot oasily be filled, ABSENTES LANDLORDISM, The bill to prohibitaliens from here- after acquiring lands within the United States was sccompanied by documents prosenting interesting and rather sur- prising statistics of the extent to which the lands of the country have become the property of alien lundlords, Tho house judiciury committes had prose- cuted a very thorough investigation and reported that it had obtained satisfac- tory evidenco that titled aliens, chiefly Englishmen, now own about twenty-one million acres in this country. Tothis must be added the ownership of wuntitled aliens, amounting perhaps to quiteas much, but being generally in smaller lote is less & subjectof criticism. Be- sides this direct ownership, Buropean capltalists have enormous sums invested in railroad and land bonds, covering, it is estimated, one hundred million acres and subject to foreclosure sales, Of course these lands are mostly in the wost, The ownership alrendy acquired by alions, congress, of course, will not inter- fore with, Etis not proposed that theve shall be legislation having a retroactive cffect,© There may be reluctance, also, 10 establish any son the subject for future operation such asit would not liike to see enucted in other countries, as for instance in Mexico, in regardto the acquisition of real estato by American citizens, But it is felt that some legis- lation i3 necossary o prevent the e tension of and check the abuses in alien ownership. There is now a law apply- ing to the territories, and the proposal is to make such logislation general in its scope. Thove is universal agroe- ment that the pol ol reserving the lands of the country for the people of the country is wise, hut in the legisla- tion already enacted the exclusion of gn capital from the mining enter prises of the territories has met with strong objection us having the eflect to groatly retard tho development of such enterprisos, It can hardly be doubted 4hat there is reason in this objection, bocause the law involves a distinet discrimination in favor of the mining industrles of the state, while the fact that the people of the tervitories whero mining is prose- cuted are practically unanimous in favor essive of amending the law so as toallow of the investment of foreign eapital in mines, must be accepted as pretty conclusive evidence that the restriction imposed by the law in this respect las operated to their disadvantage. Not only has there been no foreign capital invested in min- ing in the territories since the law of 1887 was enacted, but a great deal of such capital that was invested in the territorics at that time was withdrawn and rein- vested in the states, It s obviously un- fair that such adiscrimination against the people of the territories should exist, and as it is practicable to reserve it without impairing the policy of re- serving the agricultural lands for the American people, it is manifestly the duty of congress to do so. The mining states are froe (o offer the most liberal inducements to attract foreign capital, and the peoplo of the territories should at least be allowed to further the devel- opment of their mining accepting such industries by pital when offered, OMAHA'S STREET RAILWAYS, The report of the census office concern: of street railway lines ten years, brings tho gratilying information that Omaha leads all other cities we had but four skage, and cars propelled by mustang poniesat o M ten yeafs the track: age has inereased to eighty-nine miles, advanco the most modern n adopted. ing the growth during the in the union. made their saillike pace. appliances have b and clectrie roads comprise over twor '8 street railw. o enr isheing ve and buta vory thirds of O In fact the hors egated to the rea time willelapse when the horse or muie as a motive power will become a thing of the past inour § 3 streetear figures on the fuct that the city has progre onterprise with her The eighty-nine miles of track [ ation, and serve residents There have ne out-of-town additions connectedwith c sell lots, but each mile built has baen actually demanded, Omuha is bounding ahead inevery chan- nel of development, and dence of the incrense of people, 10 better evi- of this proposition can be found than the factof the wonder- ful growth of herstrect c 20 ADJOURN. where men filling positions of dignity and honor so far for- got themselves as to engagein afrec- for-all fight, suggests the about time that congress adjourned.

Owing statehood to the republican puty, the people of those states should feel it to be their duty to support that party, But a sentiment of this kind will have very little influence, and it is apparent that in one or two of the new states the republicans will have to do hard and vigorous work to win, IT appears th s which lave been ocdered out of Behring sea by the commander of the revenue cutter Rush, under threat of seizure, have promptly heeded the warning and sailed away, This was the proper and sensible thing to do, but itis quite the reverse of what was promised when the sealing son opened, Itwas then announced that every vessel which had gone to Behring sea was fully prepared to resist any attempt at seizure and intended to do so at whatever hazard. The im- pression conveyed was that tho owners of these vessels had been given to undor- thorities, who in turnwould have the support of the British government. The inference to be drawn from what has o curred is that the sealers received noen- couragenent whatever from the Cana dian government, if indeed they were not notified that pending a tettlement of the dispute between the United States and the Brit- ish government they must talco the con- sequences of violaling the regulations of this government regarding the seal fish- eries. Atany rate, if thefactreported is correct, it would scem evident that the marauding sealers have received no guaranty of protection from the British government. . It is apparent, also, that our government bas not receded from the instructions given to the commander of the Rush whenhe was sentto cruise in Behring sea, and which were under- stood to be of a very rigid character, THE astonishment expressed in every section over the marvelous growth of Omaha as shown by census bulletins is shared by the residents of the city. But whilethe per cent of increnss in popula- tion and strect railways afford substan- tial reasons for congratulation, they bear no comparison to the development of the city as the third stock mariet of the country. The statistics of that in- dustry gathered by the census office havenotbeen made public, but the re- sult may be roughly estimated from the fact that in 1830 only three small packing firms were in existence, the annual product of which barely ex. ceaded one week’s output at the presen time, Tuthe lastsix years the industry has grown from an insignificant business to one which turned out over thirteen million dollars’ worth of manufactured products in 1889, an amount that will bo more than doubled the present year, The packing business of Omaha and the growth of the city as a stock market afford a striking example of western en- terprise and foresight, Foran infantin- dustry itdisplays all the strength and vigor of maturity.
