The county conventions of tho repub- lican and democwatic partios have been called, and within five days the candi- dates for the logisktive and county offices will bo known, Asusunl, there is a surplus of decayed politicians push- ing themsel ves to the front and demand- ing recognition. Lacking the vital qual- ifieations for the positions to be filled they are all the more determined, by hook or erook, to force themselves on the people and sink themselves and the ticket, Questions of paramount importance to the commercinl, industrial and produc- ing cl of the state will come up for solution in the next legisla~ ture. These include the readjust- ment of local rates of transporta- tion, reform of the revenue laws, so that an honest assessment of taxable property shall be made; the enactment of a ware- house law, nsa preliminary to the estab- lishmentof o permanent home market for grain; protective measures ngainst election vreform; the abolition of 1 the pussage of luws compoll- te, county and municipal treas- urers to cover into the treasury all feesor interest received for the use of the public funds, and retrenchment in the expenses of the government The successful solution of these prob- loms calls fora highor average ty pe of ability than that possessed by former legisla tur A majority of both bodies should he men of commanding ability to whom the gene; welfare of the state is above party advantage or personal gaing men who will devote their time and talents to accomplishing ‘‘the great- estgood for the greatest number,”” and secure the enactmentof measures that will aceelerate the development of the resources of the stateand se the prosperity of the people. 808 ing st Douglas county must t part in procuring these ssent forms. As the leading county of the state it should set an example of patri- oticactivity by sending to the leg reputable vepresentativ its interests, The coming conventions have a graveduty to perform. The fact that the democerats have ameagre major inthe county must not be taken asa license to impose chavacterless schem- erson the voters, nor can the republi- cans expect success unless they sit down of on tricksters and political tools and nominate first class men. The inde- pendent vote controls the balance of power in the county, and should either convention abdicate its powers to the ward roustabouts, its nominees are fore- doomed to defeat, In view of the vitalissues involved it behooves the leading men of both parties totakeun active partin the primaries, toexercise their influence in the con- ventions and secuve the nomination of men who will reflect credit on Douglas county and the state. SAMPLES FROM THE CENSUS. The census bureau is giving out in- stallments of the returns at frequent in- tervals, grouping cities and towns of various states in o that does not lack interest, if it lacks system. The latest announcement covers a score of cities of the smaller class in West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, Texas, Nebraska and Wyoming. This combination of widely separated com- munities furnishes an opportunity for an interesting comparison of the growth of the various sections. Eachof the six states mentioned in the list has been prosperous after its own fashion in the past tenyears. With ‘West Virginia it has hbeenan awakening to opportunities among which genera- tions have grownold and passed away. ‘With Indiana and Tllinois it has been the steady growth of old settled manu- facturing and agricultural communities. ‘With Nebraska, Texas and Wyoming it has been a story of rapid development in new and untrodden lines, under the given impulses that prevail in all new countries, In all thestates the growth has been creditable, but the percentages rise steadily all the way from the Alleghaniesto the Rockies. It is the pulse of the west that beats fastest. The growth of the smaller cities and towns of Nebraska, ais far as announced, isentirely satisfying to state pride. It vangesall the way from fifly to five hun- dred per eent, and dovelopment which promises to go for ward without & halt for years to come. Nebraska has yet a great deal of grow- ing to do in all directions before her people bein to realize the limit of the possibilities that lie within her soil, climate and extent of territory. But the census indicates that she moves with firm and hopeful step in the right direction. The figures show that Ne- braskaand the west.are at the front of the precession. a healthy FOREIGN RETALIATION. The threats coming from E policy of conmercial retaliation against the United States, in order to expross the dissatisfaction of foreign govern- ents and people with the tarlff policy of thiscountry,is not likely to oroate any alarm among those who will intel- ligently consider the subject, In the first pluce, in order tomake such a policy atall effective, it would be necessary for the principal manufacturing and com- mercial nations of Europe to unitein it, and this is entively impracticable, if not utterly cimposssible. Upon what terms could England, France and Geamany enter into an arvangement to wage a commercial warfare against the United States? Atpresent the fiscal policy of each of these countrios is hostile to the intevests of the other inquite as great degree as the policy of the United States is claimed to be antagonistic to the futerests of all of them. How shall they adjust their tmde rela- tions 50 as to enable them to make com- mon cause against the United States? Obviously there would have to be ms terial concessions all around, an aban- donment inimportant particulars of a part of the policy which each country has adopted as o measure of protection against one or all of the others, as well as for purposes of revenue, Is it reason- able to suppose they would do this simply for the purpose of declaring their dis satisfaction with the policy of this coun- try, aportion of whose products they must have, and of which they now take 10 mwore than they actually need? Could poof a | THE OMAHA DAILY BEl, —_———_—E——————?_-————‘_———_—__——'—_—'—___\ THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1800, they adopt a course of this kind without erenting sucha popular protes®as would speedily compel them to recede from it? Germany and France alroady diserim- inate ngninst the United States to the extent of excluding one of our most im- portant products. They cando nomore to the Injury of this country unless they are willing to increase the Thardships and privations of their own people, In Germany there is now a ve hement popular demand for the abroga- tion of the regulations which keep out American hog products, the effect of which is to deprive tens of thousands of German homes of the use of meat, Will the people tolerate an incressed tax upon their bread or other necessaries of which the United States supply a part? As to France, she buys nothingof this country that she could dispenss with witlout greater injury to her people than would resultto us from the loss of its sale to her, England cannot venture upon retaliation without renouncing her policy of halfa century, and this her stalesmen are not at alllikely todo, evenif her people wore willing to ac- ceptdearer bread, meat, andother things as the price of retaliation. The ulterances of cert Buropean newspapers in favor of a commercial warfare against the United States do not reflect public sentiment the sober judgment of the sta men who control the policy of gov= ernments, They spedk only for the manufacturers who scoin the poliey of this country u reduced market for their products, Doubtless in this they are not mistuken, but the remedy will not be found in retaliation. Iffound at all, it must be inso lowering the cost of pro- ductionas to overcome the difference which the highertariff of this count has created, And this is the most likely to be pursued. WHAT WYOMING SHOULD DO. Gold deposits of great value and extent have been dis ed in the Medicine Bow range of mountains in the heart of in nor course 0! Wyoming. Thisis not surprising 'he new state which lies on Nebraska western boundary haslong been lnown to contain immense deposits of natural wenlth, Butthis fresh demonstration of the fact, flashedupon the country with the dramatic interest always accom pany- ing the discovery of gold, should aronse the people of the new stato to a sense of theduty they owe themselves and tho nation. Statehood was conferced upon Wyown- ing, notso much because she it as beeause it was believed > would desery, fshe had a chance Itwas expected that the recognition of Wyom- ing andother territories as sovereign states would lend wnimmense impulse to their development. Clothed with the honor and deserved sh dignity of political man- hood, it is mnow to be expocted that their prople will display the virile qualitics of energy and ambi- tion that belong to it. About Montina, Washington and the Dalotas theve need beno concern. They are already well advanced in population and the develop- mont of their resources. But ldahoand Wyoming yot remain very lavgely to be carved out of the wilderness. Take Wyoming, forinstance throughrailroads| A single “tsits southern boun- dary. Its chief justice still makes his wayg three hundred miles on howseback over the primeval mountains. Its great mineral resources, as extensive and e haustless as those of Pennsylvania, and asvaried as those of Mexico,are un- touched and but partially explored. The census returns its population at sixty thousand, though nearly triceas many were cluiimed when statehood was pend- ing. How different, is this Wyoming from the Wyoming that isto be, if the active men who can make her futuvedo their duty. When the new stato is ironed with railvoads, when settlers lave been at- tracted to the rich agricultural valleys, when the natural streams have been made to do duty for purposes of irrigation, when gold, silver, coal and oil have been brought from the earth, when cities and towns have been built up wherever the in- creasing demands of trade and industry shall eall for them, then will Wyoming have emerged from the wilderness and begin to assume the propor reat stute she is fitted 1o be. To hasten thissplendid development is the present duty of Wyoming. Western communitics go forward or backward with startling strides. N ions of the vada, admitted under civeumstunces somewlat similur to Wyoming, has made progress backward, and furnished a text for the democratic press of the st tosneer at the new states. Let Wyoming keep step to the inspiving musie of the west and go forward with- out delay with the development of her Ereat poss HE PENSION ROLL. The total number of men furnished vo the union army in the ¢ war was a little less than two millioneight hundred thousand, the aggregate reduced to a threo years' standing being two million three hundred and twenty thousand, Two hundred and seventy-nine thousand died in the service, and there were one hundred and ninety-nine thousand de- sertors, these two making togother four hundved andseventy-eight thousand, De- ducting thisnmmber from the number who served three years leaves one million, eight hundred and forty-two thousand as the number of veteransat the close of the war, Assuming that not more than filty por cent have since died, there ave now livinga little over nine hundred thousand of the men who served three years in tho union army during the re- bellion, The annual report of the commissioner of peusions, just completed, slates that at the closo of the last fiseal year, June 30, there were a few short of five hun- dred and thirty-eight thousand pensions on the rolls, of which three hundred and ninety-two thousand were avmy invalid pensions. Under the disabilily pension act passed in June the claims reccived down to September 30 numbered four hundred and sixty thousand, or half the estimated number of the surviving vet: erans of the rcbellion. Adding these to the invalid pensions gives a total of eight hundred und fifty- two thousand, or within sev- enty thousand of the whole number of old soldiers estimated to be now living. From this it vould,appear that the limit of claims under the few law has been nearly reached, and that while the num- ber of these is alrady considerably grenter than the livadst estimate before thelaw was enacted, the prediction that the claims would reach three-guarters of a million will not bo vorified. [t would seem thit at the vy outside they can- not go beyond five hundred nd fifty thousand, and they arg very likoly, after thorough andgearcful investigation, to fall one ll\rmh'«d H\m and below these figures. A ere is excellent reason 1o believe that this just and gen- erous legislation by 3 republican con- gross in behalf of the old soldie recognizng, in the language of the com- missioner of pensions, “a higher obli tion of the people to their disabled vete ans than was ever formulated intolaw before,” will not prove to be such a drain upon the trasury s its democratic opponcnts 1 figured out, The pension roll of the nation is 4 but every dollar thgt ispaidoutto a descrving veteran, or to the widows and orphans of the men who preserved the union, isa beneficent disbursement that refleets honor on the country, Tothe republi ity belongs all the credit for this expression of the gratitude of the American pe PG fomething Ont of the Ordinary, mont Tribune, 1l advertises for concoming Congres ve The World-H able" information “poli- sman Dorsey’s business record.
