FARMING IN NEDRAS In spite of years of adv great discourngements tho farmers of Nebraska have held their heads abov water and in many instances quietly pocketed eavings year by y The demagogue on the stump has blackened the reputation of the state and given out the impression broadcast that o large majority of them have been ¢ spoiled by the railroads and robbed by money sharks until the only alternative has boen ation or bankruptey Theso stories have been believed by many and have bred discontent in the agricultural districts. It is true that the crops have been short, prices low, transportation rates high and interest usurfous. [t is also truo that many farm have been hard pressed for funds to meet obligations incurred by purchase monoy mortgages and neces- sary expenditures for farm machinery aud stock. | Tho fact remains, credit of Nebraska have emerged and their difficulties in better financi dition than those of neighboring Those who have lenned up against the government of the haysta those who have devoted more time to politics than potatoes, and those who have bought more whisky than clothing have found their financial status threat- ening. Those who have steadfastly at- tended to business and carefully cul- tivated their fields have rarely suffered, pt in the new counties, where thero was neither surplus nor wages to carry them over the hard seasons. . It is gratifying to read loeal newspapers of the tural counties the stories of successiul farming which many careful farmers are truthfully able to tell. These plainly illustrate a face which all the older hus- repu however, to the that her farmers emerging from al con- tos. are instead in the agricul- bandmen in the eastern counties recog: nize, viz: That yoar after year tho caveful agricultrist in Nebraska fares far botter than his colaborer in any of the older states. Following is an ox- tract from a letter written by a Kearney county farmer to his lo: newspaper, and is republished for the encourage- ment of the newcomers and to illustrate the possibilities of strict attention to business in Nebrask I want to write you something about my experience since T came from Sweden to America. I arrived in the state of Iadiana in 1870. My monuy was exhausted and I had not a dollar left. I hired out to work on & farm at $20 per month. I worked fiye yoars at that price, then rented a farm ono year. At the end of that time I hud saved §300. In 1877 1 came to this place, built a sod house, Dbouzht a team and wagon, a few household goods, having only a few dishes and as many farming imploments as my pile would aamit of, reserving a portion to liveon till I could raisoa crop. I took a homestead and timber claim. By tho time I had made final proof on those claims I had accumulated quite a stock of horses, cattlo and hogs. I therefore bought another quartor section of land and have it all paia for but ono pavmont, and have the stuff ready to make that payment when it becomes due. I have attended strictly to farming with no outside spoculation, and what I have mado here cannot be bought for $15,000. There are scores of my countrymen within my acquaintance who have done equally as well as I. Some came 100 late to get home- steads, but have done quite as woll, consider- ing the chance they had of getting land. In fact, all have made mouey here (excopt where they have had some extremely bad luck) that would make money anywhere. If we had staid in the old country it would have been all we could do to earn enough to eat, and wear very poor clothes and keep out of debt. THE IMMINENT QUESTION. The president of Amherst colleze in his insugural address delivered a few days ago, declaced that today tho ques- tion of popular education is the immi- nent question. The leading places of the world having achieved popular gov- ornment, the education of the people acquires all that interest and signifi- cance which under an absolute mon- archy used to attach to the education of the heir to the throne. Public school education, the higher education of the colleges and universities, and univer- sity extension to carry somothing of the advantages of the university to those who could not other- wise obtain them, are themes which largely occupy the thought of the vime. One manifest outcome of the closo connection bstween the thought of the laboring toilers with the hand and life of our higher institutions of learning is seen in the apprehension of the truth that an education must be worked for. Strong, clear, conserva- tive thinking, said President Gates, is the hardest work and tho most produoc- tive work donein God's work-day world. The echo of the well-worked brain is as truly desorving of respect as is the acho of the bending back or the wearied arm. University extension was charac- torized by President Gates as a noble work, but there are dan- gers from tho ubuse of the sys- tom, the chief of which is the possible demand upoan the centers of higher edu- cation for far move of the teaching force than they can spare without injustice to their own undergraduates. Tho diffu- sion of force may become so groat that extension will decrease intension, Pros- ident Gates believes that as a poople we noed more of studious culture, There should be encouragement of prolonged investigation by well-trained minds ns essontial to the solution of social, po- litical and scientific problems. As wo bogin to approach the limits of the im- monse advantage over other nations given to us by our vast territory and our great natural resources, as competition with the other peoples of the world in the world’s market becomes keen, and must constantly grow keener, it is be- coming evident that the legislation which touches the tariff and commerco and corporations requires careful study and calls for the consideration of broad- ly-trained oxperts. To demand high standards of scholarship s not to bo blind to the practical results of a liberal education, Nowhere else in the world has systematic education received much attention as in Germany for the lust thres generations, and no people in the world is proving itself so intonsely practical in all lines of offort are the Gormans of our time. In busi- manufactures, teade and commerce, in war, in the arts and sciences, and in high scholarship, thoss who in accord- ance with carvefully. matured placs of 80 as THE OMAHA DAILY BEL: education have mastered the theory are the men who oxcel in the affairs of practical life. Business life and active professional duties make of college-brad men the most intensely practical citizons men who can “*bring things to pass yot the man who entars upon life through @ liberal course of study at colloge ro- mains all his life long a citizen of the re- public of idens. THE TRADE OF MONTA} The new state of Montana is isolated from the great corn growing rogion ot which Omaha is the center. Montana grows immeoense herds of cattlo,horses and sheep. Hor entire areaof 146,000 square miles is either pasturage for ths herds or mineral producing mountains. Thero are arable vaileys and great forests of timber, but these bear to the mountains and grass grown plateaus and foot hills a very small relative proportion as com- paved with the total area. On the ranges of this groat state aro 2,000,000 head of cattle, 250,000 horses and 2,500,000 sheep. From her rich min- ing camps go out gold, silver ax pper in great and profitablo quantities. Hor 200,000 people boast of a surplus product from the mines and ranches valued at 267,000,000 annually. Montana is a a great and wealthy commonwealth. Her stock goes over two lines of railway to Chicago. Her mineral product is di- vided botween those two lines and the Union Pacific. She s without direct communication with this great region from which she sbould draw her food and to which her cattle should be shipped for feeding prior to marieting. This great state will somo day bo bound to Omaha by a direct line of rail- way. It should now bo connzeted with this region by sucn a line. The Bur- lington and Northwestern have lines within 400 miles of Holena, the beauti- ful and wealthy capital of Montana. It is fondly hoped that one or both these progressive corporations will push on through valleys of Wyoming to the rich regionsbeyond and that the Union Pacific will extend its Cheyecnne & Northorn aivision to the mines and stock ranges of Montana. It will not only be profita- ble to Omaha and Nebraska to open up communication with the new state. It will afford a means of exchanging, products between Nebraska and Mon- tana of immense profit to the transport- ation lines. The ecoal of Wyoming 18 needed in Montana. as ave the hog pro- duct, the corn, poultry, eggs, flour and sugar of Nebraska. No line of railway can be extended to the northwest which would open to this city a finer field for interchange of trafiic. [t would stimu- late the jobbing trade and bring to this market a most desirable class of ‘We must have a line of railroad to Montana, Which of the three lines will be first to seize upon this new field? THE TREASURY POLICY. The conservative sentiment of the country will undoubtedly approve the decision of the administration not to continue the coinage of silver after July 1. This matter was very fully discussed at the cabinet meeting last Friday, and the conclusion reached was that the new law authorizes the coinage of trade dol- lar bars into standard silver dollars and the recoinage of the subsidiary silver coin into such denominations as shall best serve to give it circulation, but that the question of the continued coinage of silver dollars as heretofore is not a prac- tical one at present. Itdoes mot ap- pear from the published reports that it was decided that there is no authority under the new law for such coinage, but simply that it could not be conveniently done and carry out the mandate of con- gress regarding the trade dollars and the subsidiary coin. This, however, is not impovtant, since it is the effect rather than the spirit of the decision that is important. The practical mean ing of the conclusion reached by the cabinet is that the silver bullion pur- chased under the new law will not be coined except to such amount as the sec- rotary of the treasury may deem neces- sary toredeem notes outstanding, and this will exactly conform to the terms and the intent of the law. It was clearly the design of congress to put a stop to the coinage of silver dollars, which were simply piled away in the vaults of the treasury, and to provide for a paper cur- rency in the form of treasury notes re- deemable in gold or silver. Secrotary Foster undoubtedly made a mistake in assuming that the law left it discretion- ary with him to continue the coinage, and his virtual abandonment of that position will be received with favor by all excopt the oxtreme silver men. The decision of the cabinet is further evidence that conserv- ative views regarding silver still control in the administration, and is a sufficient answer to the representations that the president was leaning toward tho ox- tremists. There need be no apprehen- sion that President Harrison will be drawn into the radical silver camp, but he will be found friendly to silver under all circumstances favorable to the main- tenance of its parity with gold. The end of the present month will bring the stoppage of silver colnuge, excopt under the conditions and limitations specified in the law of the last congress. GETTING DOWN TO WORK. The republicans of Ohio are getting veady for work with a vigor and ag- grossiveness which in the past has al- ways been the forerunner of victory. The party is united and harmonious, but it realizes tho fact that there is a hard fight bofore it and proposes to make every necessary proparation to carry on the conflict with a spirit and onergy that will be sure to arouse every republican to a sense of his duty, It is always well for a party to appreciate the fact thut it cannot afford to spare any votes, that while it may have a roasonable certainty of success be- cause argumont and the conditions are in its favor, it is still prudent to make such an effort us will arouse its forces to action and insurve its full strength at the polls, This is evidently the feeling among Ohio republicans this year, and therefore they intend to makoe their campaign strong and vigorous in every voting precinct of the state. In order to do this it was decided at a re- cent con nce of the leaders to ganize republican clubs in every county und precinct where they do not exist, or- and thus to Bhaye everywhoro in the state an active force constantly at work diffusing ropblioan doctrines and always rondy !'to the as saults of tH§ opposition upon the principlds * and poli of the party. The good effects of this method of political work, have been abundantly tested, and it is not questionable that it is productive of greater benofit to a party than is 6 be derived from any other plan. The club attracts votors and tho discusgion of political questions keeps alive theid interest in public is- suns. A man will throw aside the or- dinary eampnign document, but he will hear and carfully rofloct upon all that is spoken in the organization of which he is a momber. It is especially to the young men that tho club is inviting, and it is this class of votors which the repub- lican party everywhere needs to look out for. A good, active club in a country township is worth more in holding the country members of the party and get- tingout a full vote than tons of cam- paign documents. The ropublicans of Towa will do well to emulate the examplo of the Ohio re* publicans in this particular. They are confronted with the hardest and most uncertain conflict in more than 30 years, and in order to win thorongh organiza- tion is one of the most essential re- quivements. The club plan for interest- ing the votars and holding them in line is of demonstrated value and undoubted- ly it would prove to boe as boneficial in Towa it has boon elsewhere. ONE of the foreign stoamship compan- ies has taken couvsel of prudeamce and will respect tho requirements of this country regarding immigration. The Hamburg-American company has pro- hibited its agents selling tickets for Amorica to eertain specified classes of undesirable porsons, which includes not only the vicious, criminal, pauper and diseased classes designated in our law, bu 0 all known anar ts and those socialistic extremists who are likely to pecome troublesome, The example thus sot will doubtless be speedily followed by other lines, and thus the steamship companies will become valuable aids in keeping out undesirable immigrants. THE democrats of Clarion county, Pennsylvania, havo declared in favor of Governor Pattison as a candidate for the presidency. While the name of the governor has received more or less con- sideration in this connection, this is the first formal expression in favor of him by a political body, and it can hardly fail to exert some influence. It is to be expected that other county conventions of Pennsylvania will follow the example thus set, and if it should becomo gen- eral, assuring the Ponnsylvania delega- tion to Pattison, ho might become u for- midublo possibility. meet A CHICAGO democratic journal in a fit of rage calls an Towa republican a cross between a Salem witchburner and a border ruffian, Both these individuals are typical democrats and therefore the allegation as to: the paternity of the Towa republican is false and slanderous. When a democratic paper loses iv temper in this reckless manner it signifies that there is no hope for the party in the next election. CONGRESSMAN SPRINGER Jooking across Mason and Dixon’s line sees the forms of three colonels, one from Georgia, one from Te and one from Kentucky and then he sinks back into meditation upon the uneven chance he runs of being speaker of the Fifty-second congress. Crisp will deliver a fow spoeches in Missouri merely to make Colonel Jones of the St. Louis Republic unhappy. Now and Strange. New York Advertiser.

Millonn-al Mahdi's, New York Tribune, Millonnial propbecies seem just now fash- ionable.

Prosident McGrath of the Kansas alliance has visited more thim half of the county alli- ances in that state since the Cincinnati con- vention, sud reports that nearly all of tho members of the alllabice in Kansas will re- wurn to thelr old party afillations because the people’s party schomie 15 bemg worked to eloct a democratic president.

The alliance and the democratio party are not at variance in their domands. A government by tho peoplo and for the psople is the common end in view, and with a unity of aim the south will continiio to move forward to the accom- plishmont of this groat end. "o south is as solid today as it over was for the democratic party. It will ' vays be the solid south.

No old citizon can visit the city of Lincoln, says Tur Osana Ber, without a feeling of pride in Nebraska's prosporous and protty capital. This is ono of soveral vory flattering com- Fliments paid the capital city by this groat newspaper of the metropolis, and tho spivit is one that the Hub heartily commends. While Omaha is a great city, so ulso is Lin even though but half as large as Omaha, Nebraska 0om for both, and tho peoplo of the state are proud of the growth of both of them. It is a matter of notoriety that Nebraska has some of the finest cities in the country and that her towns and villages aro among the most prosperous. Of tho smaller cities thers aro Nobraska City, Plattsmouth and Beatrice in the enst- ern part of the stato and south of the Platte. East and north of the Platte are South Omaha, Fremont and Norfolk. In contral Nebraska we have Grand Island, Hastivgs and Kearney. = There is room and prosperity for all, be- cause Nebraska is a great stato in tho first flush of her splondid developmont, while her cities and towns are now not in advance of the growth of the conntry. Among all of theso smaller cities Kearnoy expects to lead, and to be counted the third city when the census of '05 is taken, but the rivalry, while intense, shall yet be friondly— 1o foul blow will be deait at any other city in the rac Ton: Bk 15 setting a good example and cul- tivating a proper spirit. it e SO The Divided Third Party. ehilwdtphia Ledger., The alliance party beforo it gots well started appears about to split. Ono of its most dangerous, and yet to some minds most attractivo schemes is that to estaolish sub- treasuries all over the country, and as to that there is division in the ranks, with a strong probability that there may bo two alliance parties formed, one advocating and tho otuer oppositig sub-treasuries. Tho new party has started out unwisely with specific scnemes of legislation, instead of-being founded on broad principles, allowing latitude for differcnces of opinion among its membors, and a party thus founded is suro to be unstable.
