MR. BoyDp will not have a walk-away in Omala and Douglas county, There are thousands of votersin this city who aro liable to dispute his passage to the Lincoln capitol. OKLAHOMA is all right. Eighteen months’ growth, netting a population of sixty thousand, capped with an artistic bank robbery, shows the territory is well in the van of modern progress. DowN in Kansas the high priests of prohibition pronounce it a political issue, while in Nebraska they declire that prohibition is a moral ~question, despite the fact that the party hus a full ticket in the fleld. Tine Lincoln Gall still - insists in cred- iting I<ansas witha census population of one million six hundred and eighty thousand, when the last official report only credited that state with one million five hundred and fifty thousand, and the highest estimate made anywhere out- sido of the prohibition camp lus been one million six hundred thousand. But wedon't expect anything approaching veracity or correctness from thyt quar- ter, SovTin DAKOTA'S board of equaliza- tion kicked up a live nest of hornets byu radical increase of taxation. In their wild anxiety to don the robes of statehood the people overlooked the vast and needless number of offices cre- atel by the constitution. The machin- ery of state was not fitted to oxisting conditions. It was built toaccommodate the largestpossible number of offce- seekers, and is ample for the Teeds of a state vith five times the population. The ordinary tax levy would notpay running expenses, and the officials de- clined to work for glory. Private in- torest overcame public seruples and the oflicials exereised their power by adding twenty-cight millions to the total assess- ment and raising the levy to correspond. Subsequent proceedings were drowned inahovl of rage, but the offending offl- cials find consolation inthe assurance that the raise means prompt payment of their salaries. IN apolitical way the farmersof South Carolina areon top. They are masters of the situation, because they have cap- tured the democratic nominations. They evidenced good julgment in the skirmishes preliminary tothe state con- vention, and they succceded in wining thoir fight, the samo as they did in Tennessee. A democemitic nomination in South Carolina is equivalent to an clec- tion. The nomination of an Alllance ticket, puro and simyple, ina convention composed of farmers only, and 4 declara- tion of principles that would not be en- dorsed by the dominant party of the state, promised nothing in return for the time and lubor spent, Wisely they con- cluded to send up farmer delegations to the democratic staty couvention; they were in the majority and they captured the nominations, Their candidates will bo elected. The Allimce people of Ne- braska could have sent a delegation to the republican state convention nume ri- cally strong enough to have dictated the nominations, and their candidates would have been elocted.: But, ovidently, they preferred to act upon the advice of such demagogues as Weaver of lows and Trevellick of Michigin and play a lone hand at & losing gamo, so far s they are concerned, but materially assisting tho democratic party, The lessons in politi- cal strategy which the Alliauce people of Temessce and South Carolina have taught them should not be forgotten, Their disappointment this fall will be quite enough political experience to prevent a repetition for some years to “we, THE TARIFF BILL A LAW, The president 1ost no time in glving his approval t0 the now tarift bill, which s now a law and will take effect next | Monday, Octoher 6, The new law will not apply to imported merchandis de- posited inany public or private bonded | warchouse prior to October 1, it being provided that such merghandise may be withdrawn for consumption at any time prior to February 1, 1881, upon the pay- ment of dutiesat the rates inforce prior to the passage of the act. ot two months or more Zmported merchandise of all descriptions has been pouring into the country, and the amount now in bond is undoubtedly very much greater than ever before. Although this mer- chandise will pay the duties now in force, doubtless wvory little of it will reach the consumers without the addition to the price which the incrensed rates under the tariff seem to justify. There is really no good son for this, but there is doubtless a combination among importers to take advantage of o situation which forthe time heing favors them, and the people may safely count on paying an advance on all clases of imported goods, The immediate effect, therefore, of the mow tarviff law will be an advance inthe priceof every article on which the new law increases the dut new has already expressed the dissatisfaction which very generally pre- vailsin this section with the new tariff, but the country is perhups o bo con- gratulated upon the question having been disposed of. So long as it ro- ned unsettled the uncertainty re- rding the result had a mote or less amaging effect upon business, and while it is by nomeans assured that the trade will now improve, merchants will at least have a fixed basis of calculation. In this the end of the tariff struggle, with the probability thatit will not be renowed for several years, willgive reliel. As to the effect of the new law upon tho revenues of the gov- ernment, thero are various and widely differing estimates, and probably one is justas good as another, In the state- ment submitted by the conferees with their report it was estimated that the te reduction by the bill will be about sixty million dollars, of which six million will be from the reduction of internal revenue taxes. Thelossto the treasury, however, whatever the amount, will not represent a gainto the people, but rather the increased cost of their higher-taxed necessitics. The only hope of compensation for this, so faras the producers of the west are concerned, is in the success of the reciprocity poticy for enlarging the markets for their pro- ducts. aggreg: THE PENSION SERVICE. According to tho latest published fig- ures the number of claims filed under the new dependent pension law has reached four hundred and forty-five thousand, and the increase is at the rate of about fifteen thonsand a week, Ttis noswevident that the entire number of claims will not fall short of six hundred thousand, and may reach three-quarters of amillion. Themaximum estimate of claims made before the law was enacted hasalready been exceeded, and before theend is reached it will be doubled. This will mean an expenditure under this lawof between sixty and soventy million dollars a year for several years, when the demand upon the treasury from this source will begin to decreas: This new law requires the employment of an additional force of four hundred clerks, wh will add to its cost he- tween three and four hundred thou- sand dollays annually It also provides for local examining boards, which itis estimated will put at least two million dollars in the pockets of those doctorsall over the country who are lucky enough to be membersof the boards. The prospective harvest of the claim attorneys is estimated at five mii- lion dollars. A bureau of the government through which there is distributed annually over one hundred and fifty million dollars ought tobe conducted on the soundest business principles and with the most serupulous honesty. The pension ofiice undoubtedly offers greater opportunities for practices which canbe turned to the profit of those in authority there than any other branch of the public service, and the temptations are in proportion to the opportunities. Unfortunately the offico has heen subjected since the present administration came in to a grest deal of public crit- icism, the effect of which has been to almost destroy confidence in the integrity of its management. The Tan- ner administration of the office was not dishonest; it was simply extravagant and unbusiness-like. Had Tanner re- mained in the office hemight have bank- rupted the treasury incarrying out his ideas of liberality to theold soldiers, but doubtless he never woull have knowingly pevmitted any practices which could fairly beregardedas cor- rupt or dishonest. The rerating that taok place under his administration he unquestignably believed to be fair and just. The present commissioner, Gen- eral Raum, has avoided the mistalkes of his predecessor, but charges of a more serious natwe have been preferred againsthim, Itis tobe hopedthat he will boable to show conclusively that his accusers are wrong, but it must be confessed sthat so far he has not been entirely successful in his eflorts to do this. The most ser- ious of the charges made against him have the authority of the Washing- ton correspondent of the Now York 2vibune, who it i5to bo presumed would not attack so prominent a republican official unless pexfectlysureof hisground. Commissioner Raum has not yet dis- posed of theso charges in a way satish tory tofair-minded men. The president may be expected to firmly perform his duty in this matter in the event of tho commissioner of pen- sions failing to conclusively refute the allegations which constitute a very serioas arraignment of his official con- duct, He cannot without wery great detriment to his administration in popu- lar regurd rotain in so responsible an ofice as that of chief of the pension bu- reau a man whoso record I8 not above roproach. The country regarded the appointment of General Raum as emi- nently judiclous, There is no question, 10w, 88 to his capacity. But there is lo¢s of confidenco in his Integrity, and unless he con clearly show that thero is nothing to justily this, that the accusa- tions against him are false, he should bo required to givo place to o man in whom the people can lave confidenco, BENEATH (ONTEMPT. A democratic blackmailing sheet pub- lished in these parts has the temerity to assort that Hon, J. L. Webster received $500 for his anti-prohibition speech at Beatrice and another $00 at Grand Island. Such brazen falsehoods will hardly serve the purpose of the concern whose object evidently is tobleed the Business Men’s association. The Busi- ness Men’s and Bankers’ association had nothing to do with the Beatrice and Al Island debates. Both debates were gotten up by the local managers of the Chautauqua andof the Sugar palace. Mr. Webster was solicited to take part in these debates for the benefit of the Be- atrico Chautauqua and the Grand Ts land Sugar palace. Ho made no charge for his time ov effort in cither place and has made no charge for any speech he has delivered in the presont campaign, To char him with being hired like the mercenry prohibition lecturers and fmported strikors isan outrageous slan- der and beneath all contempt, THE NEW POSTMASTER. The appointment of Major Clarkson 1o the postmastership of Omaha puts an end to the factional and personal contest that has heen in progress among repub- licans In this city since it became known that the ofice would bevacated at an early day. Inall such contests there is a great deal of bitterness and heart burning. Major Clarkson had the inside track in the race from the outset, and at best his competitors = had very little hope of distancing him. Now that he has been appointed and promptly confirmed, his opponents will gracefully acquiesce, Major Clarkson is in position to de- vote all his time and energy to the of- fice, and there is no reason why ho should not make an excellent postmas- ter. One thing is certain, the office will cease to be headquarters for political plotters and contractors on public works. Major Clarkson knows e public sentiment, which for the past year has heen intensely hostile to the combine that has made tho Omaha postoffice o centerof intrigue and pernicious activity in muni 1 affai FIRE LIMIT EXTENSION The objections urged by certain prop- erty owners against the proposed exten- sion of the fire limits are unworthy of a moment’s consideration. It is gravely asserted that the extension isengincered by those interested in brick, iron and real cstate, and that to prevent the erec- tion of temporary frame shells will work a positive damage on property owners, This is the old, moth-caten objection urgel against every public improvement undertaken in the city in twenty years. It was worked in all its phaseswhen the peoplosought to strike the rallroad shackles from their feet, and was sung on every street corner at the outset of the paving era in 1881 But the pro- gressive elements battered down all op- position, placed the city on asolid foun- dation, and the results are permanent monuments to the wisdom and sagacity of pushing public men, The immediate personal interests of o few property owners must not weigh against the public interests of the eity, Above and beyond private convenience is the greater duty of ehecking the crection of frame bulldings and giv- ing protection and encouragement to men who buiid on solid, enduring found- ations. And in building up the city withstone, brick and iron, we build up howme industries, enlarge theavenues of employment, and increase tho po pulation and prosperity of the city. The lumber business, great as it is in Omaha, is practically an outside indus- t The lumber barons of the north west secure the lion’s share of - every dol expended for lumbe ‘While the extension of the five limits will not materially af- fect this trade, it will resultin building up important home industries. The facilities for the manufacture of brick in Omaba.are unsurpassed, The countless surrounding hills afford an unlimited supply of cluy, and experience has shown that it canbe worked into all grades of brick. An increased demand for brick will force not only an imme- diate enlargement of cxisting yards, but will result in the investment of large sum of foreign capital in that industry. Men of means stand ready tor ge in the manufacture of brick ona lo not heretofore attempted as soon s theauthorities draw the line against fire . They will not only give employ ment to a small army of men, but th output will bein sufficient quantitiesto preveni the annual squeeze which build- we subjected to by the ppesent com- bine, The great factor in the permanent uphuilding of a community is the employ- ment of labor. Every new industry in- cresses the army of employed, adds to the sum total of prosperity, and enlarges the home market. The salaries paid as well as the profits of the brick business are not sent away to Minnesota or Wisconsin, The money re- mains in Omaha, stimulates the retuil and jobbing trade and enhances the gen- eral prosperity of the people. Viewed in any light the opponents of extonded fire limits ave simply mutilat- ng their nose to spite their faces, SC: OUR amiable double-ender contem- porary takes pains to reprint a favorable review of James B, Boyds career in Omaha, published in THE BEE when he was a candidate for mayor in 1881 agaiust Hascall the rascal, Will our enterpris- ing contemporary print also what THE BEe sald concerning Mr. Boyd’s conduet: as mayor during the memorable dump riot?

Mr. Anderson has many queer notions, and {8 given to changing his mind twice & duy, For instance, when Roche was county clerk Anderson imagined that he had failed to report certain foos amounting to $20, and forthwith made a terrible noiso aboutit. More recently Recorder Me: geath has failed to pay over about four thousand dollaws in fees collected last year, but Mr. Anderson, apparently, has not neard of the shortage. It isa sig- nificant fact that Megenth is working early and late in aid of the Anderson boom, S— IN votoing tho telophone conduit ordi- nace Mayor Cushing displays com- mendable zeal in protecting the public inter The people are anxious for the demolition of the overhead wire system, but care must be taken in grant- ing privileges lest in the near future they rise up to plague the public. The city has heretofore been too lavish in voting away public rights, and in scores of iustances the creatures of public favor have become greater than their creators, and arrogantly defied the authorities, Public necessitics will not justify the granting of needless pri ileges to franchised corporations, and in pointing out the defects in the conduit ordinance Mayor Cushing performs a able publ st by @ sweep- yd is a candidate for governor will find that they have counted theiv chickens before they are latehed if they persist in pushing to the front notorious jobbers and hoodlers for important county offices.
