The remarkablo activity of the rock bound state promises to gratify the ambition of every senatorial aspirant in sight. ACCORDING to London advices, John C. Now is not disposed to exchange a consulship for the treasury portfolio. With true Indiana shrewdness, he pre- fors the emoluments of a puying place to the honors_and expensive luxury of a cabinet position. TrE Missouri legislatuie was practic- aily unanimous in rejecting a bill ereat- ing the office of beer inspector. The action was not prompted by a spirit of economy, but by the difficulty of select- ing one ex 4 without discriminating against the vemainder of tho population. THE National Builders association has roached the conclusion that the time has como for harmony between associations of employers and employes. This is a roundabout way of conceding to work- men the right of organization. It re- quired several hard knocks to bring the Nationals to their senses. MAYOR CUSHING’S estimato for this year's city advertising is $7,000. Last year the advertising fell short of $3,000. In other words the old council combine. with the assistance of the mayor, voted 84,000 bonus into the pockats of the officlal orgun for the support they re- ceived from it. But $7,000 is u low esti- mate.

Its brief but remarkable history 1s almost without precedent in the west. A section which keenly fecls the pangs of destitution, turns hopefully and enthusiastically from a consideration of its calamity to “‘reiterate its faith in the grand future of the state,” to quote from the Sidney platform, and devise ways for its development along practicable Is anything too much to expect from such a people? The movement is haps, ite height. The state con- vention now in session at Lin- coln, at which the western counties are roprosenied by delogates, will ma- ture the plans which have been freely discussed by several district conventions already held. A comprehensive law, drawn by committees representing all the sections {nterested will bo prosented to the legislature. It will have a greater vopular backing than any meusure pre- sented at this sossion. A fact not understood heretofove is now being generally accepted. This is that irrigatian is not a question of interest solely Lo the western half of the state, It concerns Omaha and the stern section of Nebras) uso it ‘ers the best means of ropairing the damage done by the widespread stories saster. In this aspect it becomes important to overy man who has his home or business interests in the state. It is also true that the prosperity of tho wholesale trade and of many of our manufacturing interests is dependent in a mensure upon the success of the pros- ent movement to make the empire in the western half of the state capable of sustaining a large population. swed from any standpoint the irri- gation movement is an inspiring specta- clo and should have the hearty support itizen. It is tho most promis- slopment in tho later history of lines, now, per- at WORTH THE CANDLE Tie Bee has always favored the re- tention of competent and faithful om- ploges in the public service during the term for which they have been ap- pointed and where no fix>d term exists —during good behavior. This policy especially applies to local government, whether the employe is on the pay roll of the city or county. If the persons recently dismissed as assistant inspectors of plumbing had shown themselves faithful and compe- tent THE Bre would have denounced their removal as an unmitigated out- rago whether they had been republi- cansor democrats. But the mere fact that they wero foisted upon the city pay roll under a republican mayor does not justify republican councilmen in taking a stand for their re-omployment. It is notorious that a majority of these bogus inspoctors are political ward heel- ers. Thoy were put upon the city pay roll as a reward for political dirty work; not as ropublicans, but as handy tools ready t0 dothobidding of their bogses, and wili- ing to conspire against reputabe republi- cans for pay. Their time was devoted mostly to loafing, gambling and drink- ing. Whether the men who have been appoited to take their places are any better we do not know. They cannot bo any worse. Republican councilmen have certainly rondered no service to the party by ar- raying themselves solidly in favor of a soto roustabouts whoshould never have been appointed in the first place and are entitied to no sympathy or support from any republican who desires good govern- ment, and wants the business of the city conducted on business principles. HE IS STILL IN IT. Tt was hardly necessory for any friend of Governor Hill to announce that so far as the governor himself and his more ardent followers are concerned he is still in the presidential race. Nobody has presumed othevwise. The assump- tion that because Hill and Cleveland metat a banquet and exchanged what seomed to be cordial grectings, an ar- rangement had been made between them by which tho ficld was to be left clear for the ex-president next year, has not received general acceptance, It was undoubtedly a mere incident hav- ing no significance except as show- ing that thess aspirants for the dency are not personally unfriendly. There was no hetter reason for the inference that Hill had surren- tdered to Cleveland than for assuming that the ex-president had agreed to drop out of the race in behalf of the governor. Bither idea is inconsistent with the well understood disposition of both men. ‘There can be no doubt that it is as much the intention of David Bennett Hill oday us it has been at any time t> con- test for the nomination in the next democratie national convention, and if he can rotain control of the politi machine in New York ivissafe to predict that he will command the delegation from that state. He enjoys the prestige of boing a safer man for the demo that stato ! veland, and if the demoeratic state ticket, which he will probably dictate, should bo elected, this prestige will be materially in- creased. Mr, Hill and his friends look tothis to give great potency to his claims before the national convention, for there will be small chanco of demo- cratic success in 1892 without New York, But on the other hand there are some who have been the most earnest sup- porters of Mr, Hill’s presidentiul aspiva- tions who regard his ncceptance of a seat in the senate as shutting him out of the race for the presidency. Inde- pendent of the fact that no man has ever been promoted from the senate to the executive office, they regard this move of Governor Hill as being bad poli- ties under the circumstances. It furnishes offensive evidence of an inor- dinate desire to be in public office, and whether Mr, Hill decides to fill out his term as governor before entering the senate, although the senatorial term bogins after March 4 next, or abdicate the governorship, either way he is likely to lose friends. In the one caso he would offend the men and their friends who would be benefited by his relinquish- ment of the gubernatorial oflice; in the other he would dissatisfly those who feel that their political future largely de- racy in | last your was $15,000. e e e e e e e et s A RS AR K P .5 R L R R ) and keeping firm hold of the pelitical machinery now 8o completely under his domination. It is plain, . therefore, that Governor Hill has some diffi cultles to qvercome In order to retain a place in the presidential race, and he'may very ensily make a mistake that will be disastrous to him. It is hardly questionable that +he would be stronger if ho had permitted the seat in the senate to go to someons else whom he might have named, As to democratic sentimont outside of Hill's strong and faithful following in New York, it does not appeéat to be any more friendly now than it was threo years ago to his presidential aspiration. No strong party leader anywhere has come to his support, and no newspaper of any prominenco now favors him as a candidate that did not do so before the mecting of the last democratic national convention. It s possible that there may be a great change in the feeling of the democracy within the next year, but just now the odds in the presidential race are heavily against Mr. Hill. SELF-APPOINTED RELIEF AGEN From various parts of the state come accounts of unauthorized individuals who are flooding the est with appeals for “the starving people of Nebraska,” and who are r ng largo donations which get no further than their own hungry pockets. 1t is stated that one man in southwestern Nebraska has in the last few weeks cashed drafts at a single bank for over $2,000, not a dollar of which he is known to have given to a real sufferer, It is a repetition adopted by grasshopper methods in the of the dishonest men times. The lurid ap- peals which they send out do in- calculable harm to the state’s repu- tation abroad. The money which they pullin confors no benefit on anybody. They represent a class of human sharks who hesitate not to prey upon the crodu- lity of generous people in the east, and who are mean enough to divert to their own pockets the money intended for un- fortunate men and women who need food and fuel to sustain life, The state authorities should adopt means to ferrot out and severely punish every who is thus obtaining money undoer false pretéuses. They should make an example of them, so that thoy may have no imitators here aftor. Steps should also be taken to en- lighten people in the east and to pro- vent further imposition upon them. If further assistance from the east is re- quired—it is to bs hoped that it is not— varties desiring to contribute should bo advised as to the names and addresses of the authorized agents of the relief fund. It is a matter of great importance that these impostors should not longer be al- lowed to flourish at the expense of the state’s reputation and of deserving peo- ple. person YEAR, Of the state elections to be held this year the most important will be those of New York, Massachusetts, Ohio and Towa. All of these states now have democratic governors, and in two of them the logislatures are in control of the domocracy. In each, therofore, that party has some advantage by- ren son of its control of the patronage and political machinery, but as this is the year befove a presidential campaign the republican party in all of these states will put forth every effort to win them back, and amost vigorous campaign in each of them is assured. Democratic success in these statos this year would very greatly reduce the chances of rve- publican victory in the national cam- paign of 1802, and consequently both parties will make the best fight pos- sible. In New York it is not probable that the democrats will be able to find a can- didate who will be as.formidable as Governor Hill has been, but unless something should occur to create do- fection in the party it is hardly tobe e pected that the republicans will win. Thero is a strong probability, however, that the harmony which has character- ized the democracy of the state for several years may ho broken, as the re- sult of o struggle of the Cleyeland and Hill factions to secure supremacy, and in that event the republicans might elect their governor and again securo control of the legislature. In Massachusetts re- publican success is .to be regarded as reasonably certain. The dissatisfaction which gave victory to the democrsts last year will not be operative to any such extent next fall, and if the republi- cans select good candidates they can alect them, The republican party of Ohio has not failed in a quarter of a cen- tury to elect its candidates in the year preceding u presidential election, and there is every reason to believe that this record will not be broken the present yeuw It is probable that Major McKin- ley will be the republican standard boarer, and his great fighting qualitics in a political campiign will be pretty sure to draw out the full strength of the party and imbue it with unusual enthusiasm, In Towa the vepublic in some por- plexity as to what position to take on the prohibition issue, and it would be unsafe to indulge in predictions until the party decides what to do regarding this question. Itis belicved that a brave stand in favor of high license and loeal option would assure the party’s success, but it is apprehendod that a majority of the lenders have not the courage to take this stand and will prefor to risk demo- cratic success. In any event, howover, the chances must be regarded as in favor of the republicans. National issues will en‘or largely into the campaigns of all these states, and hence the results will go far to indicate the trend of public opinion in the north respecting the most important questions that divide parties. Inview of the progress that is making with reciprocity, and the promise of : steady improvement in the financial and business affairs of the country, there is reason to regard the outlook for the republican party in most of the im- portant state elections of the yoaras highly favorable 18 A THE total cost of strect paving repairs Of this sum | States congr id for repairing asphalt ring the present year it vy to replace & vast 1 pavement.

From start to finish, Parnell fought for time, and suc- ceeded in outwitting his opponents at overy point. Neyer fora moment did he seriously entertain a thought of re- tiring from the leadership. He played with the men honestly desirous of unit- ing the party, entrenched himsolf while they wrangied over terms, and led them on a wild goose chase from Hawarden to Boulogne, while offectively pulling the wires to re-establish his power. How- aver much the friends of Irish home rule may regret the dissension, they cannot help admiring the skill and ingenuity dispiayed by Parnell in battling for po- litical existence, RECENT manifestations of the boy- cotting spirit in the silver states will not help their cause in public estima- tion.

NOW that the contest over the state offices has been shelved, the legislature is in condition to proceed with with the business which devolves upon that body. But it is to be hoped that every measure will be carefully considered and fully discussed, The legislature is a deliber- ative body and every bili that involves an important issue or a vital change in our statutes should bo carefully con- sidered.
