The work of the land offices has actually increased in the aggregate, while the cost of main- tenance, owing to the increase in number and division of labor, exceeds that of provious yoars. Tho present ad- ministration is compelled to take up and determine the countless number of contests and rehearings hung up during the reign of Sparks, consequently the land department’s record for the present is forced to bear the burden of past neg- ligence. So far as the land offices doing less business now than under Sparks, the actual work done has been largely in excess, as appears from the record,, which shows almost double the number of cases disposed of and patents tssued during the first year of republican administration than during the last yoar of Cleveland’s, Nevertheloss, Judge Groff proposes to enforce economy all along the line, THE (RY OF FRAUD. For more than two months tho prohi- bitionists have been laying a foundation for a contest of the voteof Douglas county. They started out with charging that o gre congpl was being hatehed to import voters from Towa and Missouri into Omaha for the sole pur- pose of enormously increasing the vot- ing p fon, They also charged that the conspirators were of repeat anizing gangs stuffers who org and ballot-hox were to inflate the vote of Omaha and pd the returns of the election, To give th charges plausible backing they concocted the reports of inflated ansus returns and bolstered up their cocke and bull stories through imported forgers and vagabonds who ransacked private officesand palmed off perjured affidayits upon the credulous, But the registration of the voters of Omahaand South Omaha which was conducted open and above board under the most rigid scruting of prohibition detectives and agents, gwve the lie to the malicious fabrication, Livery man who presented himself for registration, no matter how prominentand well known, was re- quived under oath to testify to his elig bility as a citizen @end place of residence by street and number. The lists were made public and prohibitionists were al- lowed to copy them, No city in Ame has ever made amore perfect and unim- peachable registration. As a last desperate resort the prohibi- tion managers howled about anarch riot and outlawry in Omaha, while the were importing thugs and challengersto obstruct honest citizens in casting their votes. But in spite of the talk about the reign of terror the election was more quiet and orderly than any that had ever taken place in this city. Every saloon and barroom was closed, und merchants, manufuctur- ersand professional men were out doing volunteer duty at the polls. In only four out of the forty-one vot- ing precincts was there the slightest vipple or disturbance. In threo of theso precinots the troubloarose over the at- tempt of imported and non-resident strikers to obstruct the election and an attempt to impose upon voters by hand- ing them bogus tickets. In the other precinet four men were talken into cus- tody Dy the police for interfering witha prohibition ticket peddler. These isolated instances mediatoly magnified intoa slaught upon prohibitionists and dis- patches were sent and circulated broad- cast vhat a bloody reign of outlawry had swept over Omaha and deprived pro- hibitionists from casting their votes. These dispatches had a twofold object inview. One was tothrow a flrebrand among voters in the towns and villages and thereby increase the prohibition vote. The other wasto pave the way still further to the long-hatched scheme to disfranchise Douglas county by the cry of fraud and intimidation, From the present outlook the prohibi- tionists will get very poor comfort from throwing out thevoteof Douglas county. But Tne Bee deems it its duty to dispel the false improssions which these zealots are trying to create s regards the con- duct of the election in Omaha. were im- to le on- DILLON AND O'BRIEN IN AMERICA, The Irish leaders have ar Anmerica, fresh from the clutehe four. They have temporarily adjourneds their cases from the courts of Dublin to the forum of American public opinion, and, whatever the results, they are at least in no danger of being arkested for excreising the right of freo speech. Dillon and O’Brien have come to ap- peal for helpat a most critical time in tho history of the home rule movement, Recent bye-clections hold out flattering indications of a coming victory. It is apparently only necessary for the fol- lowers of Parnell to keep up their vigor ous campaign inorder to place Gladstono once more at tho head of affairs and to realize at last their long dream of home rule. The Irish statesmen aro pressed hard for funds to maintain the enor- mous drain upon them. The expenses of the party and of the campaign are great and constant. The immediato ved in of Bal- constituents of the men who are so bravely fighting for their people can do lite to meet this demand. To Am, rule is Andit isto be hoped principally the home obliged to look. that it will not now look never has before, Treland has a large representation in America. It is a useful and loyal ele- ment of our citizenship. It is not strange that the presonce of so many sons of the green isle should lend more than the ordinary American enthusiasm for freedom to the immense moral sup- port which has always gone out from this country to the home rulors. The influence of this united backing of American public sentiment may not have been large directly asapplied to British polities, but without the financial aid which it has carried with it the home rule leaders would have been crushed long ago. Now that they appear to be nearer success than ever hefore, the an- swer should be even mors prompt and hearty than formerly. Dillon and O’Brien reprosent a cause that Americans have sustained and are still willing to encourage. party in vain, as it THE DRIF'T OF POPULATION. Westward the star of empire still takes its way, despite the attractions and inducements offered by other geo- graphical divisions of the country. The federal census for the past decade, just completed, proves that the great west is the magnet for the vust majority of home-seekers. The completed tables of population divide the statesinto five groups. Of these, the northern central comprise what may be termed the agricultural empire of the north, taking Ohio on the east, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas on the south, and extending north to the British possessions, Twelve statos included in this group show an in- crease in population of five millions, In round numbers they contaln twenty-one million souls, The Pacific and Rocky mountadn states and territories, forming properly a portion of the great west, add to this total three million people, or a total increase in ten years of a frac- tion over six milllons. The north Atlantic division, compris- ing nine states mnd including New York | groups, show the splendid resul and Pennsylvania, ranks second in popu- f ation and increaso. The total approxi- mates sixteen millions and the inervease, two million eight hundred thousand. The southern states, seventeen in num- ber, comprising the two remaining | of the ‘ ctivity which has been a enterprise and conspicuous factor in the development of | new south. The growth in ten rs is a fraction over threo and a rtor million, almost equalling the age of the two western groups. rowth and development of the | actically in its infancy, While | l n states included in the north- orn contral group have | flood | tide of progress, tho great and northwest, from the Mississippl to the Pacific, afford the most inviting fields for home seckers and investors. Pos- sessing one-fourth of the entire popula- tion of the country,and increasing at the rate of three hundred thousand year, the vast ‘agricultural and minevs lr‘:«»ulmgs yoi untouched, will soon be made to contribute to the general wealth of the country, new avenues of employment and industry will be opened and limitless oppoftunties affor millions yet to come to acquire hon and a competence, as well as home and fortune. 1 The thousands who have followed Horace Greeley's ndvice, bringing little more than strong constitution and a will to do and dare, are today in the van of progress and their success is a perma- nentinvitation to brawn and brain’to forsake the jostle of the crowded cast and follow the march of empire. assed west ed for '8 AN EXTRA SESSION OF (ONGRESS. It appears to be generally understood that the presidont willat an early day call congross together in extra session. The fact that there are more than thir- teen hundred bills on the calendars of the two houses would seem to sufliciently justify convening congress in advance of the constitutional date of meeting, the first Monday in December, but the real cause of urgency is found inthe election and apportionment bills, which will oc- cupy o great deal of time, The election bill has pa<sed the house and is in the senate, where it may be discussed to the end of the short i unless the senats can effect o chunge in the rules restricting debate. This is likely to prove a diflicult matter, for the reason that a number of republican sen- ators have gone on record a3 opposed to such o change. They may have altered their minds since, but even in that case adeparture from the uniform of the senate since the or, i the government regarding debate will not be easily accomplished, The ele tion bill probably cannot be passed with- out a rule restricting debate, but in any event the contest is cortain tobe pro- longed, and hence the importance of using all the time available before the date of regular meeting. The apportionment bill isalso certain to consume a great deal of time. It would seem to be amatter that might be very easily and quickly disposed of, but numerous difficulties ave likely to be en- countered. The ratio of representation generally expected to be adopted is one hundred and seventy-five thousund, whichwould increase the membership of the house to about throe hundred and fifty-seven members, but the states that would lose re presentation under this con- siderable incrense in the ratio, and os- sibly some that would only retain their present representation, ave likely to makea fight for a lower basis. Tt is a very serious question whether the mem- bership of the hou hould bematerially mereased, and while there are some who will contend that there is novalid objec- tion to doing so, the large majority wre likely to favor the view that a house of about three hundred and filty members is likely to be more efficient and a better business body than one with a much larger membership, If congress is convened by the middle of the present month a good deal of un- finished business can be disposed of before the holiday recess, and the decks cleared for the contest over the clection bill. There appears to be a general de- sire among the republicans for an extra session, and it is not doubted that the president will accede to it. A QUESTION OF QUORUM, A New York firms of importers has taken an appeal to the United States cireuit court fromthe decisionof the board of customs appraisers in support of the law classifying worsteds as woolens. Theact was passed last May, and the journals of the house records one hundred and thirty-elght yeas, none in tho negative, and the presence of seventy-five members who did not vote. There being present in the house when the act was put on its passage two hu- dred and thirteen members, forty-seven more than a quorum, tho speaker counted enough of those not voting to make a quorum and declaved the bill passed, The question raised by the importers Is whether the law was con- stitutionally enacted, and this question alone will properly he considered by the courts, The matter forjudicial decis- jon issimply whether the language of the constitution authorizes the speaker of the house tocountas present members not voting in order to establish a quorum. The constitution provides that “each house may determine the rules of its procecdings,” and ‘s majority of each shall constitute a quorumto do business, but & smaller number may adjourn from day to dany,and may be autho to compel the attendance of absentmem- bers, in such manner and under such penaltics s each house may pro- vide.” There is wide diversity of opin- ion regarding the scope of this provis- jon, though it certainly appears to war- runt the view that the powerof compel the attendance of members involves the authority to count them when present if necessary to establish a quorum. There is another provision of the constitution, however, which seems to give a diffar ent aspect to the matter in controversy, and that isthe one which provides that *‘the yeas and nays of the membors of either house on any question shall, at the desire of one-fifth of those present, bo entered on the journal.” The act whose validity is called In question was declared passed on & yea vote number- ing less than a majority of the house DNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1890. in the with the Does lnst and with Tire this conficy quoted.
