NP _Fr ry Public. ———eeeeeee Ior a week or more the versatilo Rhet Clarkson has not gobbled a metro- politan newspaper. Yet, strange as it may scem, the earth is still revolving around its axis, THOSE who are congratulating the country on the adjournment of congress forget the next session Is barely two months away. Perhaps we should be thankful for & brief rest. NEW YOoRK has set nine hundred and forty-seven policemen at work recount- ing the population of the city. It wants more people than the census enumerat- ors gave it in order that it can have a greater representation in congress and the state legislature, It is not jealous of other cities. When it is remembered that a democratic statistician of note and officiency had immediate and ex- clusive control of the count in New York City, it can readily beseenwhy the dem- ocratic charge of partisanship against Superintendent Porter is not well founded. DEMOCRATS are ser with lavish doses of cold comfort by the World- Herald, According to that great politi- cal wind mill the independents or sweeping overything before them in Platto county. Platte has ravely failed «— to roll up from two to four hundred dem- ocratic majority, and this reliable dem- ocratic stronghold is now doomed. Ac- cording to the demo-independent special reporter on the spot, Platte county will cast three thousand votes next month. Of these the independents will poll two thousand and the republicans four hun- dred, leaving an emaciated six hundred for the democratic ticket. We are ns- sured by the same reliable authority that this great change is due tothe hyphen, which has made “the people wax sirong in the independent faith.’’ THE Ber hastens to congratulate the democrats on the splendid results of Mr. Hitcheock’s efforts. — The formal opening of the democratic compaign in Towa will take place at Keokuk tomorrow and it is proposed to make it a tri-state aflair. Every event of an important nature that occurs at Keokuk is celebrated from a tri-state @tandpoint. Inasmuch as the, First dis- trict is considered by Towa democrats to be the most promising fighting grounds in the state, and so conceded by the re- publicans, it is proper thut the opening: and grandest rally of the campaign should for cffect be made thero. It is oxpected that ex-Governor Palmer of Tllinois, ex-Governor Francis of Missouri and ex-Governor G of [ndiana will bo present and address the unterrified. And besides these, Governor Boies, the only democratic governor within hail- ing distance of the Hawkeye state, as well as candidate for congress in and out of lowa, will be present to entertain overflow audiences. But if democrats enough go to Keokuk from Iowa, Mis- souri and Illinols to givé respectable audiences to one-third the eminent statesmen billed for the occasion, it will afford the Iowa democracy sufficient capital for proclaiming that another great uprising of the people is in progross. —_— THE more Candidate McKeighan's record is examined the more spotted it appears. The diversion and misappro- priation of widows’ and orphans’ fands in “Webster county has not been denied or explained. The Investigation made by afriendly committee from Hayes county served to fasten the charge of dishonesty on a man who has the hardihood to ask the suflrages of the reputable people of the Second district. But that is not all. MoKeighan s accused of having, while sorving as probate judge, taken advan- tage of the mental incapacity of a farmer and beaten him out of two hundred and elghty-sevendollars. A judgment stands on record against McKeighan for this amount, It is ridiculous for MeKeighan and his fool friends 1o defend embezzle- ment on the ground that the vietim **has mever been legally competént to receive it.” Is McKeighan vested with power to pass judgment on the wmental sound- mess of the poople? Why did he not pay the money into court when judgment was rendored and relieve himself of the responsibility? With such a record be- fore tho people of a district the men who are responsible for McKeighan's momination owe it to themselves, to hon- esty and honor, to. demand his with- Ecm as a candidate. A MEMORADLE SESSION. The first session of the Fifty-first con- gress has passed into history, It will be memorable as one of the most important in the history of the country, and the of- fectof its leglslative acts will be far- renching and long-continued. Coming into the control of the house after being in a minority in that body during the three preceding congresses, the first duty of the republican representatives was to provide for the rule of the ma- jority. Experience had abundantly dem- onstrated that the old method of pro- cedure was an obstacle to the prompt and cfficient discharge of legislative busine and in orvder to carry out the purpose of the party to make the session one of business it was necessary to insti- tutea radical reform of the rules gov- erning the proceedings of the house. The minority had given timely warn: ing that it intended to resist to the full extent of its opportunities all legislation propssed by the majority having any political signifi- cance. To puta check upon filibuster- ing and all the obstructive tactics known to parliamentary practice, without de- nying just and reasonable rights to the minority, was the problom first to be solvel by the republicans. They addressed themsclves to this task firmly and coura- geously, and found a solution with which the country has become thor- oughly familiar, Ttwas a radical dc parture, amounting almost o a revolu- tion in parliamentary practice, but it was a departuro for which the time had arrived, and it has been justified by the results. The business of congress, so far as the house was concerned, was ad- vanced with unusual rapidity when due account is taken of the vast importance of the lending questions acted upon, All obstruction could not be prevented. There were occasions when the minority were able to delay the ourse of legislation, and they never permitted such an opportunity to go unimproved. The reprosentatives of the demoeratic in the present congre: have earned a larger measure of just r proach by reason of their course in th respeet than yas ever deserved byany other minovity in congress since tho foundation of the government. Iad the old rules of procedure been continued, nothing is more cerfain than that con- gress would still be in session and the majority hopelessly struggling to enact legrislation demanded by the people. The principle of majority rule and responsi- bility has been established in the popu- lar branch of congress, and undoubtedly it will hereafter be strictly observed as the only rule consistent with our system of government and which can safely be followed. Of the many measures, far too numer- ous for editorial review, passed at the late session, tho of great- est importance are the silver bill, the tariff bill, and the disability pension act, and aftor these come tho antitrustlaw, the meat inspection and retaliation law, the customs administra- tion law, the land grant forfeiture act, and the legislation affecting public lands. Theappropriation mude in aid of agricul- tural colleges, the measwes in the in- terest of labor, the legislation relating to the army and Larveall matters of importance. It can fairly be said of the first session of the Fifty-first congress that it enacted a greater amount of im- portant and comprehensive logislation than any two congresses for the last six years, a fact for which the demoeratic minorty can justly claim no part of the credit. THE DUTY OF THE EXCHANGE. Tho first and most important work which the Omaha real estate oxchange should undertake is to unite with the Bankers’ and Business Men’s association in protecting the property interests of Omaha and the state. We are now in the thick of the fight for law and order and regulation. In a little over four weeks the issue will be determined at the ballot box. The campaign will not run itself, mor 1is it just to throw the entire work and responsibility on one organization. The vital in- terests involved demand the active co- operation of every man who would save Nebraska from the commercial blight of Kansas and LIowa. To the real estate exchange the lssue is one of life or death. [f prohibition should carry the exchange would be without an excuse for existence. On the other hand, dcfeat insures a prompt re- vival of realty business, Confidence 1 supplant doubt and dopression. The vast amounts of capital awaiting in- vestment in the state will rean- imate all departments of business, building operations will treblo and the progress and prosperity which marks the past record of thestate will continue for years to come. These facts are familiar to members of the exchange. Their future success therefore depends on vigorous work all along the line. For this reason all other matters should be suspended for a month and all energies bent on the de- feat of eprohibition. Let trifles wait. Striko unitedly for larger game. Thet accomplished, other questions will solve themselves. —— REVENUES AND APPROPRIATIONS. The secretary of the treasury in his last annual report estimated that the rovenues of the government for the cur- rent fiscal year would be four hundred and fifty million dollars. As that esti- mate was made some ten months ago may safely be increased by from fifteen to twenty million dollars, so that the treasury will probably realize for the year ending June 80, 1891, at least four hundred and sixty-five million dollars. The appropriations made at the late ses- slon of congress, together with the per- manent annual appropriations, aggre- gate withina fraction of four hundred and sixty-threc million dollars, an in- crease of forty millions over the regular and permanent appropriations of the last congress. On this showing tho revenucs of the government for the current flscal year will exceed the expenditures by only about two million dollars, but Mr. Can- non, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, in an estimate pre- sented tothe housea short time ago, doducted thirtyeight million dollars for deficiencies as not being chargeable against the revenues for the current fiseal year, and twenty million for sums inthe riverand harbor bill that will not be expended in 1891, In this way it is possible tofigure asurplus revenue forthe year of about sixty million dol- lars, On the other hand, it has been estimated that there will be pension de- ficlencies amounting to forty-five mil lion dollars for which appropriations must be made at the next session, and if this shall be the case the surplusto be counted on will not exceed fifteen mil- lion dollars. Inanyevent itseems preity cortain that there will bea very small margin between expenditures and revenues, and if the full reduction prom- isod from the tariff bill should be real- ized it is more likely there will bea deficit than asurplus. No definite eal- culation can be made, however, as to tho effect of the bill on the revenues for the current fiscal year, butthe proba- bility is it will not effect any such reduc- tion as Mr. McKinley has figured out. One thing it would seem reasonably certain may bo depended on, and that is hereafter the treasury will have to con- fine its operations to taking cave of the regular demands upon its resources and will not bo able, in case of a st in the money market, to repeat the rveliel ex- pedients which it has rec success- fully employed. Perhaps is not a muatter to cause any soli since it is obviously desirabie onsound finaneial grounds that the money market should De as little dependent as possible on the national treasur, PAUL VANDERVOORT, superintend- ent of the local mail service in Omaha, is said to have sent in his resig- nation with a string tied to it. The string with the alloged resignation is in the hands of Senator Manderson, with the expectation that he will not present it to John Wanamaker. Weo are told that half a dozen aspirants are after the position which Vander- voort threatens tovacate. We would advise these aspirants not to bank on their chances, In the first place, Vandervoort is in no hurry to vacate, and in the next place the position is a sinecure which the postmaster general will discontinue just as soon as Vandervoort is out. There never was any call for creating the'place. Vandervoort has not done u stroke of work in connection with it that anybody knows of, and there is nomore need of asuperintendent of Omaha mails than there is of seven wheels to Jim Stephenson’s big mail wagon. Tine manufacturers of straw wrapping paper are getting togethor. Ropresent- atives of eight hundred and seventy-two miils are in session in Chicago, and an- other industrisl combine is in process of incubation. With the usual lofty inno- cenco of inciplent trusts, the public is assured that the interest of the manu- facturers 18 secondary in the movement. ‘While anxious to increase their profits, they declare the consumers will be ben- efitted by strangling competition, re- ducing the product, and regulating the price. The abnormal gall of the aver- age combine is simply indescribable, AcconrpiNGg to friendly accounts, startling political conditions exist in the northern counties. One day Tornado Bill Thompson descends on a county, and forthwith a eredulous public is posi- tively assured that he has bagged an overwhelming majority of the voters, A dayor two later Deputy Farmer Kem swoops down on the same community, and instantly the voters fall downand worship him by a large majority. Thus both democratsand independents *‘claim everything” and enable their joint organ to ride both parties with the grace and agility of a camel on a slack wire. THE republican meeting at the Grand opera house tonight should call out a multitude of citizens, irrespective of party. The meeting will be a notable one, chiefly because the republican party, which has successfully managed state affairs for a generation, will render an accounting of its stewardship and demonstrate its right to a continuance in pow — THE importance of the question justi- fiesa repetition of the fact that every voter must be registered to exercise the rights of citizenship. Former lists ave useless. New lists must be made, and every citizen is personally required to appear before the registration board of their respective polling districts. THE packing record continues to point with unerring aim to Omahu's stendy advance as the third stock market of the country. A record of eight hundred thousand porkers salted in seven months is an enviable one for an industry barely six years of age.

Harper's Weekily. Senator Edmunds mustbe misropresented when he s stated to 1 that increaso of duty has never increased the price of an article tothe consumer. Mr. Dawes justi- fied his vote for the enormous increase of the duty on tin, equivalent to about 120 per cent, by the aid it would furnish to the dovelop- ment of the tin manufacture here. But if those who ave intercsted cannot begin work new owing to the low price, how can they begin atall if the increased duty leaves tho price unchanged? The fancy that the foreign manufacturer really pays the duty will not avail, for the troubleis the price here, and if that remains the same the difficulty also re- mains. Mr. Edmunds must have been misre- ported. S S He Had No Friends. Kate Field. The most pitiful sentenco T have read Ina newspaper in along time was that brief line inone of the New York dailies theother morn- ing, in connection with an author of good parts whom bad luck had driven to suicide: ““He had no friends.” The reporter who wrote the article was mercly filling in tho perfunctory details of a police record, and had already given tho name, nativity, se age, occupation and dwelling place of the un- fortunate, Usually these descriptions end with the statement that “a brother took ®e of the remains;” or “‘the coroner de- cred the body to the friends of .the de- ceased ;" or “the lodge'of which the deceased was & member will,conduct the funeral.” But this man, borne down to despair and death in the midst of a-teeming city whore he bad lived and laboreld for twenty years *had no friends!

When he was told none had been granted ho almost , and bringing his fist down with emphiasis said— *That’s good." Ho then told now Braughawant had in- sisted on marrying s sixteen-yearold daughter, much agaiost his will, and how he had done'all he could to break ‘the alliance, He said as both the mother and the young couple had suddenly disappeared he surmised that something was up and he immedately started on their trail and had followed them as fav as Lincoln. He then started out to try to find them and after scouring the town overlearned that they had taken a train for the east. SNAPPED A REVOLVER AT HER.
