The nation owed something more substantial than gratitude to the distinguished explorer and soldier, Gen- eral Fremont, and having failed to meet the obligation while he lived it should care for those he left. Butthis has been delayed and is likely to be still further postponed, and meanwhile the noble woman who bore his name, and whose life hus been an honor to American womanhood, should not be permitted to suffer the and privations of poverty. Such would be a most eruel fate for so excollenta womanin a country which owes so much to the ability, cour- age and fortitude of her Gead husband, and it is to be hoped the knowledge that she is in need will prouptly eliclt from the philanthropic ample provision for her reliel, STAY DY THE PARTY. No leader of the so-called independent party and no democrat has yet given a single sound reason why an) farmer of Nebraskashould refuse to ul'\\ by the party in the present campaign. There 18 no reason that is worthy a moment'sconsideration of ang intelligent man who ecan understand the utter fallacy and futility of the independent movement and who knows the history and the aims of the democratic party, It is the republican farmers who have kept the bannor of republicanism aloft in Nebraska and held thestate firmly in the re an column, and to them belongs all the credit of the splendid prog the state has achieved under the control of that party. and houorable prd, which may be prolonged to the incalenlable advantago of the state if the republican furmers will but remain faithful to the party that made it. They have fromany other Democrati it not the nothing to hope for political organization. $, to which the eflect gnof the Independent movement is ribute, would be fatal to every measure of reform o v lief asked for by the people, Demc in Nebraska is not different from de- mocracy elsewhore. Its ambition is to the spoils of office. Placed in power here it would undo, as far as pos- sible, all that experience hus shown to be wisest and bast in our political sys- tem and administration, and true to the spivit of reaction which everywhere guides it, would reverso the principles and policies which have centributed to the progress and prosperity of the state. Rotrogressivein all its tendencies, the democratic party cannotsafely betrusted with the ndministration of the affairs of u growing stale whose people are eager press forward in the march of national progress and anx- ious to maintain the great record they have made, Asto the inde- pendent movement, it promises nothing secure o tofore acted with the re- fand is now giving this movement his counte > and support It tosee that ho is wasting his sym- thy and strength in the interest alono of a political organization which doos not and will not concern olf with his interests and w The republican party hus placed Ne- braska inthe proud position sho oceu- pies among the states of the union. Itis pledged to maintain the principles and policies under which this progress has been achieved and to put into effc others deemed necessary to good govern- mentand the general welfare, Republican success assures continued advanceme nt. tepublican defeat would inevitably be followed by reaction and vetrogression. The plain and paramount duty of repub- lican farmers is to stay by the party.. AN IMPORTANT RAILROAD DEAL Fhe sale of the Colorado Midland rail- road to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fo is one of the most important western railroad transactions of the ye Tugives tho purchasing company an advantage of immediato and perma- nent value over competing Missouri river roads and mustcause a radical change in the plans of rvival companies, The Midland has not proved a paying investment Extending from town to Grand Junction, through lending mining towns of Colorado, it was practically a loeal voad, without suf- ficient connections to give it standing as a second rate trunk line, The broaden- ing of the gauge of the Rio Grande Western from Grand Junction to Salt City made the Midland a most de- sirable connccting link for eastern trunk ronds. It was generally supposed when the Rock Island built to Georgetown instead of Denver that it had socured a controlling inter in the road, which would give it direct connection with the Central Pacific at Ogden, but the coup effected by the Santa Fe disposes of all sur mises and leaves rival iines flounder- at the eastern base of the Rockies, The ac ion of the Midland; coupled witha long lease of the Rio Grande, places the Sunta Fe in position to con- trol a large share of continental travel and traffic. Fully one-half of the tourist travel between the twooceans is diverted at Ogden to the sce route of tho Rocky mountains, and with that line changed from a narrow to a broad gauge, its business is bound to increuse, and materially swell the sum total of Santa Fe trunk line traflic. The purchase in- dicates o radi change in the pol of the Santa Fe, which heretofore wasted its means and energies in southwoestern extensions, In cate 1o northern traflic with its usual enorgy, it will put the northern roads ou their mettle and force the Burlington and possibly the Rock Island to build to the Salt Lake valley a8 n mensuro of self-defenso, It is more than probable that the plans of the Union Pacific precipitated this unlooked-for scoop of the Santa I ‘I'he purpose of the former to invade the latter’s territory by building southwest from Salt Lake to Los Augeles doubt- less forced the Atehison man to re- ciprocate in kind, and thoy suc- coeded too well for the pence com- fort of ti ion Pacl Connecting with the Southern Pacific at Mojuve and Los Angeles, with the Central Puc at Ogden, and enjoying the favor of hoth corporations, it is apparent that the new deal will materially disturb the business of not only the Union Pacl bat all parallol lines, It will certainly stimu- late railrond building in the west, George- the ng hav and THE R IONMENT BILL. Representative Dunnell, chairman of the committee on the eleventh consus, has introduced a bill providing for the apportionment of representatives on the basisof one for every one hundred and cighty thousand persons approximately If this measureis adopted it will increaso the memborship of the houso of repre- sentatives, as neavlyas can ho estimated, to three hundred and fifty-oight mem- bers, making the electoral vote in 1892 four hundred and forty-two as against four hundred and one in 1888, Under this arrangement, grouping the states as they voted in the last presidential election, the republican gain in the elec- toral college is thirty-six, while the dem- ocratic gain isonlyive, Thoenetvepub- | then have It isa proud | THE OMAHA DAILY BLE, TUESDAY EPTEMBER 23, 1890 in the electoral college is one, twenty of theso om the new and eleven With a total clee- liean gain thorefore thirt votes coming from the old state: | toral vote of four hundred and forty-two the number necessary to elect would be two hundred and twenty-two. Sep- arating N York, Indiana, Connecticut and West Virginia, with a total vote of sixty-three, as doubtful states, and wi this situation: Republican vote two hundred and eighteen; demo- eratic vote one hundred and sixty-one, Thus the republicans, requiring but four votes to secure a majority in the elec- toral colloge, can win by carrying any one of the four states named as doubtful, while the democrats must carry all of them inorder to be successful., The re- publican outlook, as thus indicated, is therefore excoedingly promising. No new basis of representation likely to be adopted will materially change this republican advantage, but there is another important consideration in- volved in this matter, and that is the question of increasing the membership of the house of representatives. It is urged that the house isalready unwieldy, 1d that to add to it would be simply to increase the difficulties in the way of promptness and efficiency in legislative work. The present house has made an exceptional record in pushing busine but there is no assurance t ple will be followed by suc gresses, An interesting fact to be considered in connection with this que: tion is the steady increase in the vol- ume of proposed legislation. In the present house the number of bills intro- duced exceeds twelve thousand, and in both branches the number is between sixteen and seventeen thousand. Al- though a great many of these measures arenever acted upon, and it may be are never intended to be, they take up val- uable time and add to the expense of legislation. Increasing the membership of the house could hardly fail to increase the volwae of this class of legislation, for the disposition of members of con- gress to vie with each other in introduc- ing bills evidently grows from year to year. But however cogent the argu- ments agninst adding to the membership of the house, they will very likely be overcome by the refusal of states to have their proportionate representation de- creased, and it would bo obviously un- just to establish a basis of representation that would amount to a practical d crimination in favor of statesaccorded membership far in excess of what their population warrants, ONE of the impor the next legislature must solve isa r construction of the courts of Dougl county. Litigation has grown tosuch proportions in this city that the four district judges are unable to dispose of the business within a reasonable time, Despite various reforms instituted by the judges to expedite business, fully a yearand a half must elapse between filing of a suit and trial. This is an injustice to litigants that should be promptly remedicd. It is clear that the number of judges must be increased the district limited to Douglas county. Onoof the evils of the present w is that it permits trifling causes to he appealed from justice courts, and the district court docket burdened with causes which rarel, me to trial. This should bo stopped either by the creation of an intermediate court or by mater- inlly raising the limit of appeal. Under tho present system petty justice is a No matter what the decision or the amount involved, it be appealed and hung up for years in the musty docket of the district court, needlessly increasing the labors of the judges and court officers, and imposing an unjust expense on the taxpayers. It is of the utmost importance to the people that these evils be remedied and justice ex- pedited. The question should receive the early attention of the bar associn- tion, ant problems which or Frod a business standpoint the bank cleavings of the leading cities of the country for the pust week are most en- cournging. With a few insignificant excoptions there is a general increase in finaneial transactions, indicatinga steady inerease in the volume of trade. Locally the record is u repotition of the old pro- gressive story, Clearing house transac- tions aggregate in round numbers five and o quarter million dollars,anincrease of thirty-nine and nine-tenths per cent over the corresponding waek last year, In per cont of increase Omaha distances Kansas City, Denver, Minne- apolis and St. Paul, and out of sixty cities only cleven reports a greater per cent. The clearings substantially reflect the improvement in all lines of business in the city. Jobbers report marked activ- ity In all departments, and all business signs point ton prosperous fall and holi- daytrade. These barometers of healthy business progress are supplemented with increased demand and inquiry for Omaha realty. The clouds of uncertainty aro gradually disappearing and a confident tone prevails, usisshown inthe increased volume of transfers as well as in the im- proved activity in building operations, “These important indicators of prosperity unite in showing the strong currents of confidenco and abiding faith in Omahs immediate and future progre Tie proposed five limits are an evi- | ence of n browd-gaugo purpose to pro- tect enterprising builders from framo firo traps, T bank, realty und building records ave prosperity pointers of the right kind.

A massive domo of granite fowering nearly three hundred feet above tho edge is to ba (he momorial erected at the grave of General Grany sido drive, says the Now York it will be joined in Tho elifi-like promontory shadowing Manhattnville, converted into a sories of buso lines down the river and theslopo of the driveway, furnish- ing gentle but distinet approaches from tho south and east, will invest with tho appearance of entity tho landse upe and the structure to be reared, and will pro- vide for the great chicftaie a tomb worthy of his renown, The executive committee of the Grant Monument nssociation took the first step yesterday toward securing such ame- nlm'u\l by selecting the design submitted to its indpection by Architect Johu IL Duncan of this city. The architect, while mindful of tha cconomic conditions of the money sip- ply, is yet alive to the infinitude of elah- oration which the character of the struc. ture, the magnificonce of the site, and ' tho impulse or pride of th ify. His design is con- such po ced Dbase makes of itsolf a ginnt pedestal, with roadway = asit slelves, and with spacious arveus of @roen or gravel or granite on which can Do set commemorative of the war in groups or single picces, or othor decorations tributary to the general design, This landscape pedestal, if it ma called,vises 127 feet above the rive Tho ~ structure to be upon its sunmit will be from 160 to 170 feet high, and land- scape and granite are to be 8o joined as tomake the memorial when completed o massive and symmetrical pile, 1o be scen inits full proportions from the viver, and a commanding sight from every point of view, 1t will be clearly defined alike from the beginning of the drive at Seyenty-second strect, from the he ghts of Inwood, and from any where ulunplhn- streteh of western shore from the foot hills of the Highlands to the last bluff of the Palisades. The design of the structure itsell is impressive and _appropriate. 1t looks like a memo; ructure, Strength and dignity fill its contour, In tho spice of 100 feet square, which it will cover the ruling idea always is to pro- serve the distinctive features of solemn- nity and grandeur; which such a placo should inspire. There is no effort toward great display or starting effects, Massive simplici is th end sought, and in the opinion of tho committee it is admirably sccured. The opportunity afforded in" the design for filling in space8 with statuary or other ornament, or for interior decoration, carefully precludes anything that would detract from the leading and supreme motive of grand simplici It is intended that there shall crypt inwhich the coflin shall and which may be viewed from a g: whove, as at the tomb of Napo There isto be also an outside g A from the upper level extending arounid the base of the dome. There will be abundant room for the display of treis- ures or souvenivs, and amplo. incentivo for decorative detail in the interioras well as outside. In the end the elabora- tion of the structure and its approaches may well make the tomb of Grant or the famous sights of the world without a single departure from the comprehen- sive designs now accepted.
