Under the pr t apportionment there are ten jud districts in tho state with twenty-two judges, Apart from this there will doubtless Lo very important legislation on eco- nomic questions. Among the radical reforms will baa revision of the revenue laws and the motholds of assessment and taxation. Railvay rogulation will oc- cupy agrest deil of atlontion. Among these will ba maximum vate bills, laws fixing responsibility for damnge done employes, and compelling the roads to wso appliances which supplios to protoct employ E bolition of pissasand fees transportation.

URY. ])uun" ten years anu ng the war the people of this country were subjected toa gradustod income tax. Those who romambarthe | oparations of this law will also reeall the fact that the income tax was o soures of moro rank parjury than any law on the nationnl statuto books, Men with salaries made honest urns of their incon 150 it was within of thetax gatherer, but the he talistsand the men who wore on finaneial stilts wore always hold up thoir hands and cortify downrightlie. The big capitalists who had their irons in many fires had no trouble in concealing their income and cheating the government out of the tax by a simpls tun of the wrist. The late Samuel J. Tilden was one among thousands of prominent nabobs who made 1o bones b shir ing his income and the evasion, as vell as the porjury, went unpunished. It was quite the reverso with the financial wind bags who exaggerated their wealth and wanted the world to believe that they were doing a lucrative business, They purposely inflated their income returns and paid the oxtra tax in order 10 impose upon their creditors. Tho re- sult was that the graduated income tax beeame a pernicious promoter of perjury and fraud. The revival of the income tax would simply mean a repetition of the old ox- porience. The Amefican people never have taken kindly to a direct tax, and they probably never will, They are willing to pay indirectly on liquors, tobaccos and imported luxuries, but they will always resent the imposition of stamp duties or an income tax. The protective duties that we are now paying ave not imposed somuch with a view to the revenue they yiold as the: are to provent rainous compatition with American manufactures by the wares im- ported from foreign countries. As the years go by the national debt is being reduced, and within less than ten years there will bo no interest to provide for by the national government. If there {5 to ba any special tax imposed upon porsons who own property in excess ofa fixed sum, the tax should be levied on ti estates wherever they may ba located, but even then the men of large means will en- counter no dificulty in devising schemos by which they will be able to evade their due share of the taxe ba- reach AN IMPOR “anadian enterprise, backed with Brit- ish and French capital, proposss to revolutionizethe foreign carrying trado of the country. A gigantio railroad and steamship scheme is being organized to connect the railroad systems of the Dominion with St. Charles bay on tho Labrador coast, and operate a steamship line between that pointand England, Thefact that tho project is supported by prominent ISnglish and French capi- talists, under the leadership of Sir Charles Tupper, gives asurance of the success of the undertaking, The importaneo of this proposed com- mercial highway lies in the fact that it willshorten the time of crossing the At- lantic from threeto five days. The con- struction of eight hundred and fifty miles of railroad will connect the Cana- dian systems with St. Charles bay, and the distance from that point to Milford Haven, in Wales, can bo traversed by steamships in three days and a half. By this route passongers and perishable freight can be carrled from Chicago to London within soven days. Canadian railvays huve already be- como an important factor in the com- merce of thenorth. They are a safety valve against the aggressionofl Ameri- can corporations, To them the produc- orsof the west are indebted for reasona- ble rates to seaboard cities, and with the extension of the Dominion to the north- eastorn coast there is no doubt the result will prove decidedly beneficial, The new route will become an active compet- itor with New York In the foreign LY. carrying trade, and competition means reduced rates, better facilitics and | forms the groundwork greater zeal in catering to the wants of the publie. SPREAD THE LIGHT. The current issue of the Novth Ameri- ean Review contains an instructive sketch of the growth of Omaha, from the pen of Mr E. F. Test. The marvelous prog- ress of the city in population during the past decade, as shown by thec of the ar s rouped statistics of the commercial, industrial and financial progress of a ““dreamer’s town-site” in 18531 to the metropolis of the trans-Mis- sourd region in 1890, In the historyof western development, erowaed with instances of urban growth, there isno parallet for Omaha's carcer. Omaha did not hav n the temporary advantage of a mining hoom nor was it the destination of any great human tidal ves which swopt westward during the t forty years. Its sole dependence 5 the superiority of location, the fer- tility of the surrounding country, and tho energy, plick and perseverance of its peopl Its desting was fore- ordained. The confidenceof its founders, though shaken at times, survived the shocks of war and the blighting efTects of financial panics, and many of them lived to their wildest hopes sur- passed and to realize a fortune on the faith, The facts of Or growth being verified by the f al consus, suggest the necessity of giving them the widest possible publicity. The board of trade and real o exchange should take active measures to sproad the light of Omaha's growth at home and abroad, and point out not only the achievements of the past, but show the firm foundation on which theecity rests its future. Morchants and professional men, and all classos, can materially assistin the work by sending to all corrospondents and acquaintances the official record of the ity's growth. The timo is ripe for an ive, offcctive advertising campaign and a united effort to place the main facts of Omaha's progross where they will do the most good. und which see THE CAMPAIGN'S PROGRESS. When it was proposad to place the ve- publican ticket in the field at o day there were many to oppose the idon on the ground that it woald bs expen- | sive and tedious to make a three months’ canvass, The fer have beon dispelled. The ticket has beon before the people almosta month and a half, and what has bean the roesult? The plat- form has boon given to the paoplo, and its demands have mot a hearty approval. The contrast fu ied batween the sound and conse tions of the republican platform, and the wild and v schomes endorsad by the democracy und the indepondsnts hus suggested to thoughtful farmavs and aboring men to go slow in adopting the wildeat schemes. The men who were nominated have experiencad no havd- ships because of the early date, while on the other hand they have h ul unm to moet the people and exp tion that might « R have read the platform a iv socond sober thought know that it moet the demands of the t: i the republican pa earry out its promisos will ticket this yeiwr as they have in y past. The republican candidatos will compare favorably with thoss of ecithor of theopposing parties. As Septembar progresses thy fight will mence to warm, but thore will be little puigning until Octobar. While the party may not carry the state by its old- time majorities, the outlook for its suc- cess is not in tho least discoarazing. s, howe 18 \\'hn n it the charge of democratic leaders that adeficit in the treasuryis unavoidable, is shown to be without foundation. Roay resentative Cuannon, chuirman of the house committsy on approprintions, proves that with all apprope ms male and all amounts necassary to moet vont obligations, including th s rive harbor bill, deduc from the estimate of receipts, will leave a surplus of over xty-five millions at the close of th prosent fiscal year. Govorament coipts for the past two months show a marked increase over the estimatoof the chiefs of the various departmonts, is safo to place the surptus considarably above Congressman Cannon's total. The demograts, howover, persistin thseha that a defieit is unavoidable, but furnish no reliable data to sustain it. They go upon the ridiculous theory that all bills carrying appropriations will be pi by congress and on this basis firare a deficit of eleven million dol psurdity of the charge isappar congress in the history of the country passed all bills appropriating money, and the present body is no exception to the cule. Under the sifting process adopted there is little prohbility of any further increase of expenditures, thusdepriving the democrats of an effective campaign slogun, Tar sugar palaco exposition in pro- gress in Grand Island deserves the sub- stantial support of the people of the state, Apart from its novelty, the « hibit combines many instructive features showing not alone the enterprise and vigilance of the townspeople, but productive fertility of the surrounding country. The sugar palace is a notable milestone in Nebraska’s progressive ca- reer, It is a monument to tho incaption of an industry which promises profitablo results tothe producers of tho state. It marks the establishment of an entirely new home market, the success of which is of vital importance to the farmers of the state and tho industrial progress of the nation, Tue peoplo of Baltimore have com- mencod a lively war on telograph poles and overhead wires. The crusade is being made in earnest, and the proba- bilities are that the nuisance will be abated. The wire evil is growing more conspicuous in all western cities, and it is only a mattor of time until the poles wiil be removed and the wires placed underground, where they very properly belong. ey THE committes’s report on the con- vietlabor system in Mississippl, sub- mitted to the constitutional convention, contains many good points.

The conviet system of the south, Espocially of Mississippi, has been a chapter of shame, brutality and disgrace. NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that the democrats of Ohio gorrymandored Major MeKinley’s distriet so that it would or- dinarily give two thousand domocrat mujority, conssrvative estimates are to the effect that he will coms= protty close to being elec! Bacause of the demo- cratic scheme hundreds of disaffected re- publicans will vote for McKiniey who would not vote for any other republican.
