MILLER, Of filty-three members of the supreme court since its organization, but six ed a lon term than Justice Samuel F. Milior, the close of whose distinguished caveer as o jurist is pro- foundly regretted by the entire ion, Those six Bushrod Washington, who se thirty-one years, from 1708 10 1820; John Marshall, who was on the beneh thiy-four years, from 1801 to 18355 Willilim Johnson, thirty ) from 1804 to 1834; Joseph Story, thirty four years, from 1811 to 1845; John Me- Lean, thisty-two years, from 182 to 18613 James M. Wayne, thirty4wo years, from 1835 to 1§ Roger B. Taney and John Catron e were s Miller, "Caney from 1836 to 1861 and Ca- tron from 1837 to 1805, Two of these Marshall and ney, were chief justices, It is not, however, extent of service, but the eminen and worth of the service, that entitles the nameof Samuel I Miller to be placed high inthe list of those whose wislom, abili id patriot- ism have contributed most to make tho supreme court recognized asthe fore- most judicial tribunal of the world. Ap- pointed by President Lincolnat atime whenthe fateof the nation was most uncertain, Justice Miller exerted a stimulating and strengthening influence at the national capital and beyond in the causeof the government and the union, Inevery way open to him he encouraged faith in the cause and coun- seled patriotic devotion to the govern- ment, and while the conflict continuad he was not a mere idle observer of events, In the period since, more mo- mentons than any other equal time since the foundation of the in the magnitude and portance of the questions that have ari for judicial decision, the people aw a maintained & strong reliance upon the wisdom and the patriotism of Justice Miller, associated with such distin- guished juristsas Salmon P, Chase, David government far-reaching im- m Davis and Morrison R. Waite. Justico Miller shaved equally with them the respect and confidence of the people, and his whole career justified this pub- lic esteem, It can be justly charged ag: few of the membows of the sup sineo its organization that they themselves to be distinet influenced by partisin fecling or poli pre dices, No man who has ocenpied a seat on the bench of tl at tribunal was freer from such influence than Justice Miller. None hada moce elevated con- ception ofthe judicial charaeter and func- tion, and none was ever more faithful to that conception, as his numerous deci ionsabundantly and convincingly show. Of bis isdom, ability and comprehensive grasp as & ju rist, only those most learned in the law are competent to speak, but it is undoubtedly safe to say that among such the concensus of opinion would at least place him on an equality with the most eminent of his compeers, if not in- deed with the greatest of his predeces- sors—with Jay and Marshall and Story. A succecding generation, understand- ing pevhaps more clearly than we of to- day can the worth of what he has done, may not hesitate to rank him with any of these, The 10ss of so able, upright, pure and patriotic a citizen as Justico Samuel . Miller is a national hereavement, and public regret at his Loss will be intensi- fied by the fact that questions of more than ordinary importance had been ro- ceiving his consideration und he was realy to prepare opinions when stricken, The country has lost a great jurist, but he has left for 1ts use and guidance a wealth of judicial wisdom priceless in value, and which will per- petuate his memory as long as there are questions of constitutional law to be passed upon by the tribunal of which he was 50 long a distinguished member. inst ve me court allowed RECENT RAILROAD EXTENSION. Measured by the test of vecent rail- road development, the people of the south have vessonto be proud of their present rate of progress. The figures showing the number of miles of rail laid in the last nine months bear marvelous testimony to their prosperity. Tna list prepaved by the Railway Age, govering all the states of the union, Georgia stands fiest, North Carolina third, Alabama fifth, and Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and South Caro- lina lead all western states, v Montana, Washington and Neb The marked progress of the south i hibited still more strikingly in the fol- lowing table, in which the totals of the several sections are compiled: Southern (0) states Northwestern (6) states Southwestern (7) states 1,43 Al (5) state fic (1) sta . When it is considered that the south is 0 country nearly as old as New E land, and that its present awakening is of very rocent ovigin, this exhibit s one ealeulated ot only to en- courage its people, but to arouse the progressive men of all other sections to the duty of pushing the development of their resources with renewed energy. Except in the face of indisputable facts like these, the average western man would be slow to concede the supe- rior push and vim of the south at this timo. It is not that western people do not rejoice in these evidences of return- ing prosperity to the recently prostrate south, On the contrary, they mingle their pride with that of the southern people whenever a new railroad is built, anew mine opened or a new in- dustry established in the land of Dixie, But they have their own pride of state and section, und they do not propose to allow the pupil to eclipse the teacher— to allow the new south to accomplish more than we doourselves with the in- spivation which she learned of us. The demand for new railways in the weost, and the opportunity for new enter- prises that follow in their wake,is vastly greater than in the south, Large sec- tions of Nebraska and the Dakotas are waiting for the electric touch of railvoad development to open up magnificent tracts of agricultural lands, The Black Hills and the mountainsof Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Montana hold back their unmeasured mineral wealth only becauso the iron horso is not yet ready to bring them to market. The trade of great wholesala centers like Omaha is limited by lines of railway that stop far short of their possibilities. Prosperous cities and towns are waiting to come forth from the womb of the wi whenever western enterprise rises tothe height of its opportunitie The south is tobe congratulated upon its rate of development and the west ad- monished to regain its old place at the head of the procession, derness WHERE THE OTHER OX IS GORED. The Farmers® Alliance is a flourish- ing political factor in the politics of the south this year, but down there it is the demoeratic ox that is gored. The wa ern democrat and the southern republi- can both behold in the alliance a green onsis of hope in the parched desert of despadir., In Georgin and South Carolina the demoeratic war on the alliance is par- ticularly hot In the latter statethe farmers have a most nggressive leader in the person of “‘Pighting Ben Till- man.”” He has captured the rogular democratic nomination, to the unspeak- able disgustof the political leaders of the Palnetto state. While his path to the governorship now scems tolerably clear, he will be opposed by a candidate on whom the republicans und the dissatisfied democrats have wiited, In Georgia the parties are equally cut up by the presence of the new factorin polities. There the disturbance affects the legislative and congressionnl contests, and present indi- cations are that the tarmers will control the legislature and defeat twoor three of the demoeratic candidates for con- gress. In various other southern states the alliance movement promises to be equally potent in upsetting the plans of the politicians. It is likely, therelore, that any republican losses that may be incurred in the west will be made up theough the operation of the samne causes in the south. In one important respect the southern leaders of the alliance differ from those in the west. They rest their appeal for votes almost wholly upon one spec remedy for the depression in farming interests. This is the sub-treasury or government warehouse scheme, which contemplates large loans upon erops. In both sections, however, the neo movement is the organized protest of the farmers against wrongs they have sufered b the hands of monopolies and corporations, and, whatever their direct success at the polls, they are very likely to reap some henefits where they have sown s0 much aggr itation, L ND OFFICE B N Tho first annual reportof the busine of the federal land office under Commi IN sionor Groff presents a variety portant statist The most noticeable is the great reduction of the public domain, nearly thirty-two million acres passing from the government to individ- uals, states, or corporations during the fiscal year, This vast empive embrac all classes of land—agricultural, min- eral, timber, desert and swamp, thevalue of which cannot be computed, yet the total revenue derived by the government was only seven million, seven hundred and eighty thousand dolls Thomanagement of tho general land office since the advent of Julge Groff has won compliments from all classes. of im- No administration in recent yoars hs been marked with greater colerity and om in the dispateh of business, On assuming the responsibilitios of the position Judge Grof was confronted with an accumulation of claims that would dishearten most men. Confusion was visible everywhere, but his long residence among the people of the west, his knowledge of the trialsand p tions of settlers, their ments, together with a judicial trai enabled him to bring order out of chaos, to systematize business and dispose of a vast number of old complicated cases, while keeping abreast of uew business, His success is shown in the fact that the amount of business transacted and the receipts of the office far exceed those of the previous year, Many important reforms have been inaungurated not only in the policy of the office but in the treatment of contested cases, all tending to encourago honest settlers on the public domain, But the laws are insufficient, as Judge Groll points out, to punish the sharks preying on the public lands, particularl timber lands of the west, The pre or tion of timber on the mountains and foothills is essential to the permanency of fvrigationin the neighborlng valleys, yet thousands of acres are denuded annually, not to supply the demands of the people, but to sell to mills for fuel and to manufacture into lumber, On top of this is the reckless destruction of forests Dby fires started by campers, hunters and prospectors, The com- missioner urges more stringent laws to protect the forest He recommends thatlocal necessities be supplied, but the exportation of public timber should be prohibited, as the removal of timber from any of the rveserved land and from the mountainous regions and uls0 ovher woodland at the headwnters or sources of streams. The evils com- plained of should receive the earnest attention of western representatives. THE council committee and the board of health have reached an amicable un- devstanding, and a vigorous assault all along the line will be madoe to confine and eradicate contagion. The sanitary condition of the city will compare fav bly with any in the country, The great need is the enforcement of strin- gent rules against free aceess to home where contagion prevails, the fumiga- tion of building and elothing and adop- tion of every precaution suggested by experience and medical science. financ NEXT to the al question, the strongest argument in favor of the an- nexation of South Omaha is the neces sity of adequate police protection and the suppression of the brutal slug; matches which disgrace the city, “ONLY giveus moneyat two percent cries Allan Root, “and the shipbuilder will return from the Clyde to the Pen- obscot, the white winged birds of com- merce will fly the American flag, and the jolly American tar, who has so long beon hung up to dry, will come to life.

Tie spirit manifested by the repub- licans of the Fourth ward is the right kind. The sinking of personal smbition and the suppression of factions in a de- termined, harmonious effort to nominate clean-handed and clear-headed men for tho various offices, is half the battle, It is the first great step to success. The opportunity is open to republicans. By nominating first-class, large-minded men, the party will profit by the blunders of itsopponents and command the active supportof the intelligent voters of the county ALLAN RooT hungers for the root of evil, but the cycloneof the murmuring Pappio wants it from the government at two percent.

Do they feel proud of it? If they will allow a rank outsider to express an opinion, o state that canuot be saved without theemploy- ment of such methods can hardly be worth saving. What Prohibition Means. Neligh Advrate, Probibition means intemperanco of the worst kind, and the meanest whisky thatcan be made out of chemicals and spirits; secrot drinking, holes in the wall, boot legging and every outside barn and young man's rom turmed iuto a doggery. The Slocumb law means no license where the sentiment of the community is largely against it and where high license is granted the trafic localized where theeyesof the authorities and of the entire commuity are constuntly upon the sa- 1oons, and theevilsof the trafic minimized. The saloon keeper s interested in breaking up llicit drinking places and under the law is under heavy penalties for selling to minors and drunkards. Both are evils, but the Slo- cumb law is the lesser evil, aud of two evils always choose the least. It is for Temperance. Grand Tstand Iudependent. The Independent opposes prohibition be- cause it believes it increases drunkenness, breeds hypoerites, increases erime, inereases. taxation, causes loss of revenue, substitutes more of the stronger for the milder drinks, and blunts proper exercise of individual con- science, and tends to disregard for personal responsibility for individual acts and thus belittles manhood and - womanhood, but the Tndopendent does not believe every man a knave and every woman a wretch who holds different opinions iuregard to the important questian, It states its faith and its r therefor, wh certain class of prohibition ranters insist that all who do not accept their understanding must of necessity bedishonest and insincere, and that is the worst type of intemperance, and the worst form of lack of charity, and due regavd for honest opinions of fellow men, Methods of the Voice, Beatrice Demoerat, The Voice, the prohibition organ in New York that is rumning the campaign in Ne- braska, has succeeded by the use of an im- poster, who wrote under the name of “A. Laucius Rodman,” in securingr & letter from Dr. George L. Miller in which the doctor in- dicated the manner in which the anti-prohi- bition campaign was being conducted in Ne- braska, the amount of money that was being used and where it came from, By thesame cheap fraud, at the opening of the campaign, the prohibitionists procured letters from different newspaper men quot- ing prices at which anti-probibition matter would be inserted. Is it possible that a party that has the church behind it, that opens its deliberations with prayer, and that is usually presided over by ministers of the gospel; a party that has its politics talked from the pulpit, fin it necessary to sink to the level of the most contemptible and sneaking fraud, in order to have anissuc! Itsees thot the comse of the prohibition party from the very begiuning of this campaign has been one of the most damnable as viewed from a standpoint of fairness and decency that wasever conducted inthe state. Nothing has been too low or vile for these prohibition leaders to stoop to. No depth been too great, no stench too rank, no deception too contemptible, Among honorable men the methods that they have adopted would condemn them.
