NEBRASKA farmers will market not less than $30,000,000 worth of hogs, cat- tle, sheep, poultry, produce and miscel- laneous products this year. THE gentlemen who have concluded to nominate a governor this fall are promising a very empty honor to some unsophisticated third party politician. It 18 better to bo a Nebraska farmer year after year in spite of occasional re- verses than 1o be the owner of stocks and bonds of the Union Pacific railway. THE fact that there are 6,000 saloons in Chicago ought to make the most rigid Sabbatarian relax his opposition to open- ing the gates of the world’s fair on Sun- days. Burrows and Peffer, and Powers and Elder will go out of politics when the people get at the facts about themselves in theso great prairio agricultural states. DEMAGOGUES may howl and walking delegates declaim against the business reputation of Nebraska, but the facts presented in THE BEE today are unas- sailable. CAPITALISTS and settlers will find in Nebraska the class of people who save money and pay their dobts for two rea- sons. Thoy are honest and the state enables them to prosper. IF IT b true that there are boodlers in our city council, why don't that body undertake to fasten guilt upon suspected parties? Continual charges of corrup- tion are disgracing the city. —_— THE men born in 1854 are yet in their prime, and those born in 1867 have scarocely entered the field of enterprise. Nobraska became a territory in 1854, a state in 1867, and twenty-four years later she is an empire in wealth and re- sources, BANKRUPTOY, foreclosures, judgments and financial dissolution will come to in- dividuals but not with special frequency ina state with 47 in the bank for every man, woman and child within its bord- ors and tho biggost crop and best prices of years practically assuved. SPEAKER ELDER'S hotel bill while at Lincoln last winter is alloged to have brought that gentleman to legal grief. It will be remembered tho speaker lived somewhat expensively but it was not | supposed his landlord had paid any of his bills either directly or indirectly, ACCORDING to the census bulletin giving statistics of education, just is- sued, the per cent of gainin public schoo! envollment in Nebraska, during the decade from 1880 to 1800, was 138,23, which was slightly in excess of the gain in population. Except the new states, Nebraska leads all the others in the in- crease of school enrollment, and pre- sonts & vory marked contrast to most of the older states, gains wore in North and South Dakota. 0 Dt i The most remarkable | THE SHOVI s, the march of Nebraska | has been notable. Tre Bee presents | in this issuo carefully collected and | trustworthy statistics showing the progress of this state in population and wealth, and it ie an exhibit in which every citizen of Nebraska will find cause | for pride and confidence. In fllustrating | what has been accomplished it points out, also, what is still possible of achiovement before the resources of this great state shall have renched the limit of development. A study of thess statistics, which show nn aggregate prosperity that will compare favorably with that of most of the states, and are o conclusive answer to those who have persistently asserted that our people are not prosperous, will satisfy all intelligont men that it was not a mere figure of speech which P dent Harrison employed when in Omaha in referring to the vast capubilities of Nobraska. There has been extraordin- ary development in the last twenty ars, but there is every reason for the confident belief that in the onsuing equal period this state will realize a greuter growth and attain the first place among the agricultural states of the nation. Ten years ago there were but eight states of the 38 with a_smaller population than Nebraska. Now 18 of the 44 states have a less number of in- habitants than Nebraska. The growth of population during the decade from 1880 to 1890 was relatively greater than that of any other state in the union, except the new states while in actual numbers it was exceeded by only four other states—New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Texas. 1f the same rato of progress shall be maintained during tho next 10 years the population of Nebraska in 1900 will exceed two millions, and theve is every reason to oxpeet that it will reach that figure. by the close of the centur Equally noteworthy has been the increase in the assessed val- uation of the state, and it is to be re- marked of this that it would be much larger if the ratio in most other states were adopted here. The statistics of bank deposits make a most gratifying exhibit, showing as they do a per capita of home capital excoptional for a purely agricultural state. The figures showing the increase in grain production, in stock raising, and in other industries, are most interesting and instructive. Nebraska still has an unimproved area, as large as the entire area of the two states of Maryland and Massa- chusetts, greater than that of the two states of New Hampshire and New Jorsey., and the larger part of it can and will be made available for agriculture. When this is done Nebraska will have added to her productive capacity a re- ‘gion half as large as the state of Ohio, and capable of supporting a population as large as that of the state at present, From such facts the citizens of Ne- braska may derive the' largest measure of satisfaction, encouragement and con- fidence. They show an aggregate pros- perity which, it is believed, is excoeded by few of the states, and they carry in- spiriting promise of continued progress. The “vast capabilities” of Nebraska are still far from the limit of possible development. There is hero a territory that will sustain well three mil- lions of peoplo, with a soil and climate '~ adapted to the most diversified productions of which any portion of this country is capable. Thore is grown in this state the finest corn produced anywhere in the world, and all other grains flourish here. Nebraska has the best soil for the sugar best on this continent. In short, there are here all the conditions to attract the farmer and assure him a profitable re- turn for his industry. Nebraska has had a great past and will have a greater future. OMAHA AND THE PYRAMIDS. Citizen Train is nothing if not original. No other friend of Omaha has thought it worth while to unite in thought the marvels of all the centuri the pyra- mids of Egypt with the marvel of the past quarter ofa century, Omaha. There- fore it remained for thiseccentric genius with tho most consummate methed in his alleged madness to place upon the top of the great tombs of the ancient Bgyp- tian kings the record of an epoch 4,000 years later than the inscriptions upon their sarcophagi. There is nothing ridiculous about this conceit of Train, The fact that it is a daring piece of advertising makes it steiking but not absurd. The great pyramid i3 450 feet high. 1t covers 13 acres at its base. It required 100,000 men 20 years to evect it. It is the most ancient monument to man’s genius ex- tant. The secvets of its masonry and of its architecture have baflled the keenest intellects and tho wost industrious in- vestigations since history began to take note of its existence. Astronomy and mathematics, chemistry and physics, philosophy and religion have combined to establish the date of its construction and the component parts of its cement- ing material but all have failed. We guess utits age, the purpose of its con- struction and the manner of hoisting its immense stones und placing them in po- sition. We know almost nothing be- yond the fact of its existenco and its immensity. When the visitor now reaches its summit and drops into meditative spoe- ulation as to whether Melchisedek or Mykerinos is its architect he will turn for relief to a pamphlet on Omaha. On top of this wonder of forty centuries he will turn to read that in 1880 Omaha had 30,000 people and in 1890 140,000, He will read that in 1855 the whole ter- ritory of Nebraska had but 4,000 people and then will observe that she now has 1,058,000, He will see in the printed pages before him evi- dences of the birth and growth of a monument to man’s enterprise far more useful and fully as remarkable built within 25 years. It will be a relief to lift the eyes from the sphinx, from the desert, from the low-browed Bedouin, from ancient Egypt and even Cairo and the valiey of the Nile and cast them half around the globe to a modern city in the midst of modern civilization and set upon the verdant hills of the most fertile state in the TT.Y S — 681 BE ~and the himsel! that while the moderns construct no useless lasting monuments to their avchitectural and mechanical skill they have filled the occldent with a glory of achiovement in mechanics, archite jonca and commert Il which makes this the most remarkable epoch of history and immortalizes the nineteenth century. HARVEST EXCURSIONS. Tuesday, July 14, the Trans-Missouri Railway Traflic association convenes at Kansas City. At that time final action will be taken upon the subject of har- vest excursions. e BEE in common with the pross of the state rogards this subject as one of very great importance. Nebraska’s reputation has been at- tacked by domagogues and her charac- ter as an agricultural state has been im- pe Eastern people are laboring under very grave misapprehensions of the conditions prevailing ,here. The failuras of crops for a yoar or twn have discouraged immigration, weakened the faith of investors and caused the aban- donment of some farms not yet under cultivation. Nebraska never looked more aitrac- tive than at present. Hoer peovle were never more hopeful for the future. No man who has lived in this state. for ten years has ever doubted she proposition that Nebraska is the most fertile agricultural section of America or had any fears for her future. It is only the casual visitor or the uninformed eastern man who has lost faith in her worth as a grain growing - common- wealth. We want people who are looking to the west for homes aud investments to see the state as she is in all her beauty. We want the evil impressions of a bad crop yearremoved. We want our friends to join us in a harvest jubilee. We cannot expect to have them visit the state in numbers unless the rates are made an inducement to come. The railways have as much at stake as the people of the state. Thoy cannot afford to discourage the oxcursions. They should unite upon the old harvest rates, or better ones, and so put ail enstern passenger agents in the field to advertise Nebraska. THE BeE hopes General Passenger Agents Francis, Lomax and Buchanan will muke a strong presentation of the im- portance of the harvest excursion and convince the association of its necessity. eartn to satisly ure, OUTLOOK FOR THE W The region west of the Mississippi has not for many years had so favorable an outlook for prosperity and progress as it now has. In portioas of it the conditions in recent years have been quite as satis- factory as at present, but considering it as a whole, if the promise of this year is verified the results will probably exceed in value those of any provious yearin our history. There have been some extreme estimates of the probable amount of the crops which a move careful and in- telligent investigation of the situa- tion has made it necessary . to modify, but the most conservative esti- mates place the yield considerably above the average, and there is hardly a pos- sibility that these will not be borne out by results. The west will have a large surplus of grain, and there will bs a de- mand for it at good prices. It is now asserted that Furope will have the shortest crop in a number of years. Her probable deficiency is estimated at 173 000,000 bushels, and it is more likely to exceed than to fall below that amount. She must look to the United States to supply the greater part of this, and no tariffs that European countries may adopt will keep Amorican bread- stuffs out of their markets. This situa- tion means well maintained and profit- able prices for our grain. . The Ameri- can producer is to be paid this year and next a fair compensation for his industry, and something more. He is to be per- mitted to experience svhat he has. not Kknown for soveral years, an appreciable improvement in his financial affairs. He will have money to pay his way and to meet maturing obligations. If he be fortunate in not being victimized by speculators on the one hand or ill-advised schemes in restraint of trade on the other, he will count this year as one of exceptional benefits, memorable, per- haps, a8 the beginning of a prolonged cra of stoadily incroasing prosperity for agriculture. It is conceivable that the time will come, and it may not be very remote, when the west will change from the debtor to the creditor section of this country. A fow yoars of good crops at profitable prices would bring this about. Butitis parhaps sufficiont to confine consideration to the immediate outlook and this is of the most cheering and gratifying character, DEPOSITS PER CAPITA, The total sum of money on deposit in the banks of Nebraska exceeds $50- 500,000, It isin 58 of 347 per capita. The per capita of the total circulating medium, gold, silver and bank treasury notes in the United States, is less than $24. In other words the people of Nebraska have twico as much money in bank subject to check per capita us the people of the entire union have money for the transaction of business. This is a most significant fact, and spouks volumes for the resources of the stato and the character of the people. The bulk of the population of Nebraska is engaged in agricultural or kindred pursuits. The year just passed has been unfavorable for crops, and in preced- ing yoars pricos of furm products have ranged bolow the average. Nebraska is & new stato and her people have boen necessarily borrowers to a large oxtent bucause they were engaged in de- veloping new torritory, In face of theso untoward circumstances the actual figures of savings a1e phenomenal. In viow of the discussions which have confused our well informed people upon therelative financial condition of tho farming community of Nebraska and the | west these figures are of especlal impor- tance. They give the lie direct to the malevolent misstatements of demugogues and prove what every thinking man in the state has believed, namely that in spite of recent discouraging experiences JUTLY 8 ve the averago in fin- atiéal prosper| Deposiis in the banks reprosont the actual surplus of cash. They are not clearing house credits or hypothetical apsets, Nebraska has but two considerable cities and no other groat manufacturing or commercial coentors. The bank deposits are not therofore the tefporary rocoipts from large transactiods, but the results of years of oconomy and successful busi- ness cnergy. ] Nebraska hag fow mon of immense woalth. These savings are consequently the accumulation ‘of the many and not of the few. They are merely the begin- nings of the future wealth which labor, soil and business skill are building up in this commonwealth, Our savings in these dull times, after years of small profits, are remarkable. What will the per capita of deposits in banks bo when we have achioved the developments of fifty years instead of twenty-five? THERE {8 no comfort for the traducers of Nebraska in the statistics which Tug BEE presonts this morning, Thoy bear conclusive testimony that in the aggre- gate the people of this state are enjoy- Ing as large a measure of prosperity ns thoso of almost any other state in the union. The splendid erop prospects for this year, if realized, will materially in- crease this prospority and put the great majority of our producers in a position to ensily meet overy obligation. The outlook for Nebraska is altogether cheering. MR. PARNELL is getting no mercy from any quarter since the defeat of his candidate at Carlow, Everywhere that result appears to be regarded as decisive of his fate as the leader of the Irish party, and although he professes not to feel disheartened it is difficult, to see how he can longer make a stand against the overwhelming opposition that con- fronts him. He must now see that his best course would have been to avoid the conflict in which both honor and the credit for patriotism have been sacri- ficed. —_— WITH an unimproved avea half as large as the state of Ohio, Nebraska has room fora grear many morve people. Those poople who want to impose fur- ther restrictions upon immigration can- not hope, therefore, for any support from this state. Nebraska expocts to add 1,000,000 to her population in the next 10 years, and this cannot be done if the honest and industrious foreigner is shut outof the country. All good people will find aswelcome here, wher- ever they come from. THE statistics of bank deposits in Nebraska shows a very fair amount of home capital. Of course there could be no objection to mewe, but it is desirable to acquire it jn the same way that what we have has been acquired, thaf is, by honest industry and judicious thrift. These alone miko a sound and stable @inancial condition. All other ex- pedients for ‘creating capital are essentially dangerous, and if persisted in must eventuate in disaster. —— THERE would be little or no hoodling on tho part of cortain members of the board of education if the reputable members were more attentive to busi- ness. Should an investigation be or- dered, as it must sooner or later, some of the worthy members will bs severely criticised for their indifforence to the interosts of the taxpayers. It is high time for a thorough house cleaning. THE Colisenm on North Twentioth street has a seating capacity in front of the stage of 8,000 persons. On the sides and rear within good hearing distance of the stage an additional 4,000 can be accommodated.

The mortgage picture commonly drawn by an alliance man is & good illustration of what this alliance imagination can do without balf wying. In the last numberof the North Awmerican Review Mr. Polk, the prosident of tho national alliance, makes tho astonishing statemont—that is, astonishing if coming from anybody but an allianco man--that “‘the national records shoy the existence of 9,000, 000 of mortgages on the farms and home- steads of 03,000,000 of psople—a mortgage to overy seven individuals, ora mortgage for every four families out of five.” Mr, Polk gave his imagination this one fact that in the decade from 185) to 150) thero have boen placed on record 1n tuis country —tha whole of it, on all kinds of property —about nine million mortgages, and awsy that faculty gallops with it, as we have seen. It does not count with Mr. 12, 1891—SIXTEEN Polk that somo, possibly two-thirds, of those mortgages have been discharged; that many of them represent two or more sales of tie same piece of proporty, and that at least as many of them are on city business or manu- facturing property, and probably more, than on *‘farms and homes," An Editorial Sermon.

Lixcory, Neb,, July 11.—(Speclal to Tur Ber.]—W. B. Prico, a well known young at- torney of Liucoln, has undergone the ploas- ant experionce of being married twico within the past mouth, and to the samo young lady oach time. It appears that some woeks sinco they were united in marriage by Rov. (1) J. S. Edwards, a supposed clorgyman of this city, and the young veople, rested seoure in tho bolief that they wore legally aud surely tled, but one day it came to the ears of the groom that the man wbo had married them was an expelied minister, and therefore had 10 legal right to marry any persons. Natur- ally he confided in his bride, and after con- sulting soveral attornoys found that tho mar- riage was ali right anyhow. Tho young woman, however, would not rest under the uncertalaty, and the groom deforred to her wishes, and a fow days since they quictly steppad into Judwe Stewart's office and were made one sure and fast. The man Kdwards, who performed the coremony, is known in Towa as “‘Patent- right Joe.” He has done some proaching whon business was dull, but it is alleged by tho Methodist min- isters here that serious charges were tado against Edwards in lowa about seven weoks ago and he was given the choica of either starding a church trial or withdrawing entiroly from the Mothodist church. To avoid any public scandal te took the latter course and now does not belong to any church. SEQUEL TO TIE SHEEDY CASE. The filing of the suit yesterday afternoon by Detective Pinneo for services rendered Mrs, Mary Sheedy in securing ner acquittal resages some very interesting developments unless tho suit 1s immediately” compromised.

Green, trustee of Gertie and Joe Boyle, under a chattel mortgage for $1,037.50. "The owner of the store is a woman, the wife of W. C. Britton, who has been managing it. Mrs. Britton was a widow before she married Britton, and some of the money used in the business, it is said, bolonged to the cilaren, for whose benefit the mortgage is made. ' The Ashland mill and electric light company began suit in county court for $430.40, due for flour fur- nished, and swore out an attachment, claim- ing that Mrs. Britton was converting her property into cash for the purpose of de- frauding her creditors. Deputy Sherift Hoagland served the attachment this morn- ing. Tho liabilities amount to about $2,000, asido from the mortgage, but there will bo . little left for the creditors after the mortgage is satistied. At least that is the outlook, as Britton has taken possession of the books and refuses to give the creditors any satis- faction.
