B ] FARM MORTGAGE INDEBTEDNESS The subject of farm mortgage indebt- the United States is one of very grent interest in its economic bear- ings, and because of its complexities and difficulties no other matter con- cerning which authentic information is desirable has boen so extravagantly misrepresented. Those who are in- terested from one or another, in making It appear the farm- ers of this country burdened with n mass of mortgage obligations which they can never hope to unload. and as a consaquence the time must come when nearly all of the farm prop- erty of the counlry worth ving will puss into the ownership of the moneyed corporations that loan money on such land, have freely made the wildest state- ments regarding this form of indebted- ness, feeling safe in doing so because there was no authentic data to refute them. Secking out the worst local con- ditions in the agricultural states, they have made th tho basis of eal- culations for entire states and re- glong, and thus have sounded an alarm thyt has had a damaging effect upon the material prosperity of the section in which the unfortunate state of affairs leged to exist, It is hoped that ‘nth consus, under which | vision le for ascortaining farm mortgage indebtedness, will clear away much of the misrepresentation on this subject, but in the meanwhile those who have indulged in it so freely will doubt- less continue to do so while they have any interest Lo subserve, edness in reason that the el is 1 braska is one of the states which has been conspicuously misrepresented in this particular, and the state had 1o worse enemies than those who fulsel, wged that her farmers are hopelessly burdened with mortgage obli- gation whole not prosy ous. THE BEE ho lily discredited these statements as being inconsistent with obvious facts, They are disproved by the evidences of growth and pros- perity everywhere apparent in the stato, and we have no doubt that authentic statisties would show them to be most grossly e ated. By way of jus fying this ubt, 1 at- tention to the tician, Mr. Jenkins, 1 \indebtedness of for ten which where in this issue. Surpy being one of the oldest counties in the state, is prop- erly selected as furnishing a faiv basis for caleulation as to the general condi- tion, and from the exhibit made it will be seen that there is no ground for the claim that the farmers of Nebraska aro L class hopelessly in debt. The in- vestigation of the state statistician has been made with great care and the fac he presents can be fully verified. Tt ap- pears that during ten years, from 1879 to the close of 1889, the whole number of mortgages executed inSarpy county was eight hundred and sixty-five, represent- ing loans amounting to one million three hundred thousand dollurs, and at tho beginning of the present year only three hundred and seventy-ono mort- gages, vepresenting four hundred and sixty-eight thowsand ¥ollars, wore unpaid. Fifty-cight per cent of the mortgage loans was purchase money, and twenty-seven per cent was for in- vestment in other real estate and in mercantile business. A ver ting fact is that there have been but eight foreclosures in the county in ten years, Undoubtedly not every county in the stato will show s0 good a record as this, but tho truth is that the farm mortgage indebtedness of Nebraska in a very largo mensure represents the purchase of land which has had a gradual increase, while the very few foreclosures show that the revenues have been sufficient to meet the demands of interest and loans. statis- the mort- Sarpy county is printed 1s0- ©lse THE FALL IN SILVER. The decline in the market price of silver, which has fallen about sixteen points from the highest price reached since the passage of the silver bill, isa matter about which the speculators only have reason to be troubled It has no significance affecting the interests of the public, heing in fact simply the reaction of a speculative movement which gave a wholly artificial stimulus to the ad- vance of silver. When it became cer- tain that the country was to have legis- lation that would provide forthe ubsoup- tion by the treasury of all the silver pro- duct of the country numerous combini- tions were formed to buy up all the sil- ver to be secured and compel the treas- ury to pay a large advance on it, The pools bought at prices all the way from ninety-three cents to one dollar and ten cents an ounce, The movement was measureably succossful, the fivst pur- chase of the treasury under the new law being at an advance over the market price of silver before the law was enacted which put a very generous profit into the pogkets of some of the specu- lators. But the amount *he pools was very much heyond immediate pequirements of the treasury, and as silver continued to bo offered on the market the spaculators discovered that their cornering scheme was likely to prove a failure, Some of them began unloading, and although those who had profited by the specula- tion sought to hold the market up, the vrice steadily declined and has suffered one or two sharp falls, At the begin- aing of the current month the price had veceded from one doilar and twenty-one cents to one dollar and twelve cents, and it was the impression that it would not go lower, but it has since gona down to one dollar and five cents, and it is by no means certain that it will stop there A New York dispatch of a few days ago sald it was estimated that the accumula- tion of silver bullion in that eity alone amounted to ton million ounces, and it was computed that the speculators weve out of pocket on this sum seven hundred thousand dollars, The government completed its purchases for October at a price a little under the low- est New York quotations, and it will not enter the market again until the first Monday in Novembo Meantime silver continues to reach the market, and the speculators have found that the supply is an unknown quantity, while the estimates of production arve worse than useless, Itis probable that when the treasury again becomes a purs chaser noxt week it will be able to ob- gathered up by the ‘ tain the required four and a half million { premium. | For woeks the hyphen’s ag- ounces A a lower price than it nas yet paid for silver under the new layw. The result will very likely be the abandongent of silver speculation, and if this should be the case the lesson will not have been dearly paid for by the government, The country at large has been benefitied by the incrensed cireuln- tion, and if silver shall herenfter be free from any artificial influen: it will speedily settle toa position that will be satisfactory to the country and justify the judgment of those who advocated the new law, s CRIMINAL NEGLECT. The indifference shown by thousands of qualified voters in the matter of reg- isteation is deplorable. Despite the ef- forts of the press, associations and indi- viduals, the rogisiry lists show scarcely sixty per cent of the voting population of the city, In two days twenty-five thousand yoters were registered in St. Paul, while less than eighteen thousand were enrolled in Omaha in the three day With one-fourth the population of Omaha, Sioux City has registored eight thousand voters, In none of these cities does the isswes involved inthe election appronch those which vitally concern the welfare of Omaha and Nebraska. There are fully fivethousand working men in this city who have not been reg- istered. Tho army of employes in the smelting works have given this impor- tant duty but little attention. Train- wen, shopmen and other railvoad em- ployes by the hundvedsare unvegistered, and similar neglect is shown in factories, mills, wavchouses and other depart- ments of labor. Between five and six hundred men ave employed by the jobe bors of the ci .scarcely ten per cont has been called home to exercise their rights of citizenship. These are facts that cannot disguised. A canvass of block in the city will from a dozen to a scove of qualified voters unregistered. The neglect and indifference manifested is a crime inst the city and state, for which here is no pallintion. A thorough house to house canvass should be undertaken at once by the leagues and clubs of the vari wards, and a concerted, sys- tematic effort made to rog volov in the city during F Suturday. There are fully thirty thousand voters in the city, every one of whom should bo vegistered. Prompt, energetic ac- tion is necessury to make the election an eflective expression of public sentiment on various vital questions submitted for a docision at the ballot box, 5 any show ous day and LOUK OUT FOR THE LEGISLA The alliance movement in Nebraska took its rise in o demand for state re- forms, Those can come only through the legislature, which must be honest, intelligent and incorruptible. Tre Beg has said often and says now again with renewed emphasis, that the producers of the state must see to it that the right kind of men are clected to both branches of the legislature. There can be no reform, no progressive legislation and no velief from the burdens which the people want removed unless the leg- i ure is composed of men who will be faithful to the people, A great demon- stration of reform sentiment can effect nothing if the lawmaking power is not in accord with the demands of the times. It is not likely that any of the candid®es for governor would dareto stand in the way of such legislation as the peopie want. The sponsibility would be too personal and the betrayal too direet, But a legisla- ture composed of the wrong materiul could defeat the reform sentiment whi nobody doubts is today in u majority in this state, The demand is for men who will fear- lessly take hold of the problem of rail- road regulation, to the end that lower churges shall prevail and that corpora- tions shall pay their just shave of the taxes. The demand is for men who will revise the usury laws and make them effective; who will pass alaw making the owners of public el public warchousemen, With that implies: who will provide more stringent laws for the protection of laborers against accidents; who will im- prove the election laws and give us the Austmlian ballot: and who will throw the influence of the state in favor of the government ownership of the telegraph., These ave vital matters to the people of Nebraska, They will be settled by the next legisiature if the peopledo their duty. On wl these questions the vepub- lican party as an organization stands right, but if in any district the repub- licans eandidates are opposed to them, they should be beaten by men who ¢ be trusted to register the people’s will, In these lust hours of the canvass the important thing is to iook outfor the next legislature. The election of con- gressmen touches national issues, but in electing their representatives to Lincoln the peoble say whether not we are to have the reforms in state governmeat that all fair men concede tobe desivable, vators sery all as that ATOR PETTIGREW of South Da- kota diverts his mind from the state by projecting transcontinental rvailroads.

The nssumption of the coun- ¢il in the premises was a contempt- ible ploce of spite-work, and the rebuke adininistered by the court was well de- served, The controversy throughout was marked on the council’s part with petty me and trickery, capped with the ridiculous attempt to suspend the building laws of the city by tion for the sole purpose of obstructing the board of education in the perform- ance of its dut os of nness esolu- OF ALL the wild, woful fakes perpe- trated on the public by the World Herald, the Dorsey fake easily takes tho gregation of “amateurs strutted around | challonging Drsoy to deny the genuine- ness of the published dispatch, “He dare not do t%,» “We have overwhelm- ing proof,” and like assertions were uttered with the bravado of a yellow back hero, When the denial came, the hyphen retorted with a collection of blank affidavits, the truth of which Hitchcock swears to. The nlleged proof is the veriest. xot, a fact which Hitch- cock confesses when he begs Mr, Dorsey to acknowledge the fraud. The fact is clear that Hitehcock has been worked for a good round sum by a disciple of the late Mr. Pigott, ANOTHER investigating committee has viewed and reported on McKeigh- an’s savory record. Two prominent farmers of Adams county examined the charges publicly preferred against the demo-independent candidate for con- gress, not for the purpose of furnishing ammunition for the opposition, but to secure for thomselves an insight into the career of the man posing as o model friend of the producers. THE BEE cor- respondent at Hpstings announces that both gentlemen reached the conclusion that McKeighan's record is much worse than is charged. In the face of the facts confirmed by three friendly com- mittecs, the candidacy of McKeighan is an insult to the voters of the Second district. PRrovisioN should be made by council to meet the rush of non istered eitizens to the clerk’s office on clection day.
