There has been a great deal said and written during the past fow yoars re- garding the troubles and difficulties of eastorn farmors, but very littlo by way of sugeesting ways of relief. From all ovor New England theve has been a con- stant stream of complaint regarding the depression of agriculture and the hopo- less condition of thos gaged in it Patheticaccounts have been written of tho hand-to-mouth way in which the mujority of farmers live and the toil and hardships they endure in order to cke out & wretched subsistence. A good deal of truth has been combined with a large amount of exaggeration. It is undoubt- edly true that the lot of the average eastern farmeor Is not an altogether en- viable one, but it is also in evidence that there ave many intelligent, industrious thrifty farmers in the castern states who are making a very satisfactory live- lihood and have as many of tho enjo ments and comforts of lifeas fall to those elsowhere who pursue agriculture. The Maine commissioner of labor sta- tistics has incorporated in his annual report a collection of views obtained from farmers as to what is the trouble with farming, Very generally their complaint is the common oue, not po- culiar toany scction, that produce is too lov and taxes too high. It is found, also, that the feeling among them is quite as prevalent as elsewhere that the corporations and capitalists do not bear their share of taxation, This sort of complaining, however, is not universal with them. Some farmers indicate that they are very well satisfied with their situation. One suggests that farmers who attend to their business and are not standing round with both hands in their pockets, sucking black pipes, are all right, while another reports that he has earned enough money topay his taxes wlile his neighbor has been loafing about the village store and scolding about hard times. It would doubtless be unjust to assume that most of the east- ern farmers who find great difficulty in making ends meet are carelass or shift- less,. Undoubtedly many who attend to their business are not ail right. But it is altogether probable that the complaints from that section would be far less numerous if the farmers generally pursued their industry more intelligently and were more practical in the management of their affuirs. 1t is not to be expected, of course, thatunder any circumstances farming can bo made as profitable in the east as, under favoring conditions, it s in the west, but that it can be made more profitable than it now generally is does not admit of a doubt. Asto the troubles which arise from other causes than lack of practical iutelligonce and industry, they are not irremediable, and although the power and influence of the eastern farmers are relatively loss than those of the agriculturists of tho west, thoy may reasonably hope by judicious and persistent effort to at least mitigate the discriminations ngainst them of which they now complain, approval consist ing ex ponses, a and He cierl- neces: these ne Zoos at Nebraska Columbian ins for the nd efficient o ring LOOK THE DOORS. The closing days of former sessions of the legislature have been scandalized by a disgraceful seramble for spoils, Fm- ployes and frequently members have considered that cffice furniture, station ery and supplios furnished them while in the service of the state became their individual propesty upon the adjourn- ment of the legislature. By this playful custom the members provided themselves with a large sup- ply of stationery, books, maps and vari- ous other small articles, with chairs and other ploces of furniture, and, in fact, with everything in sight that could be conveniently lifted and carried out of the capitol. This custom is an exaggor- ation of the habit of lawmakers in older states, who supply themselves with all articles necessary to the performance of their duties and charge the expense to the public account. There the cost is provided forln the appropriation for contingent exponses. Flora the conscien- tious legislators merely took anything insight. They appropriate public prop- erty for privato purposes and say noth- ing, The custom is doubtless very funny and is pursued move in the nature of a geninl joke than of cold-blooded larceny.

GOLD FOR EXPORT. Those who eriticiso the action of the treasury department in refusing to sup- ply old bars for export do so without a proper understanding of the situation, Nothing could be more absurd than the atlempt to give this decision of the de- partment a political aspect or to make it nppear to indi 2l solicitude onthe part of the administration in ro- 1t is wholly and simplj practical business move, made necessary by the fact that the supply of gold bars in the treasury is not so large ns to jus- It isnot questionable that the United States has hitherto been too accommodating in this matter, its constant practice of fur- nishing gold bars for export in mak- ing up national balances, baving abled other nations to use their entire gold holdings for coinage whiles depriving this country of n large stock of gold. This new policy is not only authorized Dby an actof the last congress, but it is in line with the course of other commer- cial nations, which refuse gold bars for shipment whenever they deem it ex- pedient to do so. Ther no good rea- son why this country should continue to serve out its uncoined gold to foreign countrics when there is noreciprocity in their practice, Another consideration is that this policy will have the effect to checlk exportation of gold for speculat- ive purposes, which 1s by no means un- common, It may bo expected tuat the demand for gold hereafter for shipment will be for the most part to meot legiti- mate requirementsin making up ba ances, and it is not appurent that the new rule will interfere with this. And if it should be found to do so there is nothing in the way of the treasury de- partment relinquishing the new policy for an emergency. W henever the stato of trado shall be such as (o create ba ances payable abroad which cannot bo conveniently settled with gold coin, it will be time enough to consider tho expediency of returning temporarily to the shipment of goldbars. In the mean- time it is probable that the average export of gold will be materially de- ed. icism of the action of the treasury department does not come from those members of the business communitios most. interested whose operations are altogethor legitimate, Allsuch approve it as judicious and important, not merely us a means of retaining our gold, which we shall be able to do only by keeping our foreign tradein such a con- dition as to avoid creating balances pay- able abroad with gold, but because it will puta wholesome check upon ex ports of that metal not due to natural and logitimate causes. ——— KEEP WITHIN BOUNDS, The logislature should carefully guard the interests of the state in these closing days of the session. It should keep a sharp eye on the appropriation bills and see that no steals are rushed through at the last minute. The biennial appropristions of 1887 were formed on a reasonable busis. Those of 1889 exceeded the bounds of necessity, of reason and, in somo instan- cos, amounted to a scandal. The bills roported this year by the house commit- tee on finance, ways and means make some savings in minor items, but the cost of severul public institutions is considerably increased and the total will exceed that of any previous year. The appropriations for western sufferers have necessarily swolled the gross ex- penditures for the next biennial period, but even aside from this the tendency appearsto beto increaso the expenses of the state during this era of reform, rather than to cut them down. Heve, for instance, are some strange figures from the committee’s appropria- tion bill. In 1889 the stato appropriated $16,000 for fuel and lights at the Lincoln insano hospital, and thesame amount for that purpose at Norfolk. In the present bill the appropriation for fuel and lights at Lincoln is fixed at $30,000, while at Norfolk itis cut down to 812,000, If fuel and lights cost the saume amount at Lincoln and Norfolk two years ago, why should the committes this year increase one in- stitution by $14,000 and reduce the other by $4,000? Is it because one hospital is managed for revenue only, while the otheris kept on a reasonable basis by its admirable superintendent? The house had the good sense to cut down the Lin- coln appropriation for fuel and lights from $30,000 to $20,000, but it is still $8,000 in excoss of the Norfolk item. Will somebody explain the little eccen- tricity? Appropriations have been increased in other institutions, and the reductions are almost wholly confined to the small items and exccutive departments. The penitentiary item has been swelled by about $45,000 over that of 1889, The ap- propriations for the institute for feeble minded, the home for the friendless, and that for deaf and dumb, as well as for almost every other public institu- tion, has been increased, in the total or upon particular items. The cost of fuel and 1ights for the capitol was cut down by the house frora $10,000 to 37,500, and even ut the latter figure is suspic- iously liberal, It is the duty of every member of the logislature to cavefully scrutinize the appropriution bill, compare it with the reasonable figures of 1887, and then use his voice and vote 10 keep the public ex- penses within proper bounds, \te an espec en- purposes, e 1t was entirely appropriate that Taylor of Loup should bo ciceroned in his flignt by Mr. Rosowater's trustylieutenant, Setn Cole.

Too mafy owe their wealth to usury, to dishonosty, to utter heartless- ness. It is gratifying, therecfore, to record to the oredit of the late Charles F. Chickering, the piano manufactu that he joined to his commercial ability argid integrity which could not be im- ched. A miser, James Paine, un- illing to risk his funds in any bank, entrusted them for safe keeping to Mr. Chickering, asking and taking no roceipt. He died. To the surprise of the selfish, avaricious and unserupulous, the veteran piano dealer announced that the miser had left 300,000 in his custody. Noone would have been the wiser if he had appropriated every cent of it, but Mr. Chickering, trueto histrust, handed it over intact to the rightful heirs. Examples of this character are suffl- clently infroquent to warrant special at- tontion, pet —— A BUC shop in the rooms of tho Real Estate exchange, would hardly be in keoping with the purposes of the or- ganization, but a display of Omaha man- ufactured products of grain, of photo- graphs of buildings, and of Omaha pat- ented articles of onssort and another, would prove valuable as aa attraction and help greatly to advertise the city. re is positively nothing of interest tors to tho exchange at present, pling the genial stary and some placards setting forth interesting facts about Omaha, soc THE misguided amateurs down the hill, with their usual unbounded enter- prise, located Taylor in Couneil Blufls, where he wasnot, THE BEe located ant or in Chicago, where he has been, according to his own stato- ment, since Sunday morning.

Counsel for Vincent, the wifo murdorer, now on trial at Fresno, Cal., asked for a change of venue. One of the reasons priven is “that tho peoplo of this county have learned that a mob of many citizons of tho city of New Orleans took unlawfully into ther own hands tho law, and without due course of law killed men alloged to have comn mitted murder, and the deponent. is informed, and believes and fears that suchan act, 5o committed and 50 known to have beon com- mitted, fncreases the desire which oxists in this county to destroy his lifo without duc process.” The court didu't see it in that light and the application was refused, Secretary Noble Not Popular, Chicago Ttmes Although denisds come from all oficial sources that, Mr. Noble intends to rotive from tho cabinet, an examination of his carcer as secrotary of the interior shows many causes of differonce botween him and the president. The secretary of the interior is not at all popular with tho leaders of his party, and on more than one oceasion the incompetency of the secretary has been brought to the at tention of the president. The fact that Noble could mot agreo with Land Commissioncr Groff, and held up soveral important deci- sions of the commissioner when the said de- cisions wero regarded by a large number of distinguished lawyers to be corroct, brought about the resignation of Judgo Groff. The late Endian troubles also caused much adverse smof the administration, and Mr. Harrison felt keenly the exposures made by the press, and hence issued the order di- recting the war department to take chargo of the matter. It will be rememoered that at the time when the president was considering General Miles' suggestion to let the war de- partment aeal with the Indin question See- retary Noble threatened to resign if the m: tor was taken from his control. General Miles® suggestion was agreed to, but Secre- tary Noble did not resign. Now comes the secereta pr th a scheme to ent the payment of the 3,000,000 appro- pristed in the Indian bill for the payment of the claims of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians. Noblo fought the clums before the appropriation com- wittee, but was beaten. Now he pro- Posos to hold up the payment of the claims, although the law directs him to pay over the money to the Indians, The attorneys of the Indians are a powerful and influential crowd. One of them was formerly Novle's law part- ner. The attorneys propose to get their fees, and they have also set out to get Mr. Noble's oficial scalp. A very good slice of the £3,000,000 goes to the attorneys for feos. There is one thing certain, however: the nest congress will probably be called upon to investigate the means empl E the adontion of the £3,000,000 amendment to tho Indian bill.
