NEBRASKA will harvest 50,000,000 bushels of small grain this month. It is worth at least $25,000,000. THE circulating medium of the union 15824 per capita. The bunk deposits alone of Nebraska $47 per capita. It would be interesting to know just how much each school janitor has had to put up in order to retain his place. MONEY in banks to the credit of Ne- Draska depositors subject to check, over $49,000,000. A fact like this speaks for itself. A MOST natural result of the present financial situation will be active opera- tlons In mining enterprises and mining stocks. 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- verges than to 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 opon- 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 poople get at the facts about themselves in theso great prairie icultural states. ag e R DEMAGOGUES may howl and walking delogates declaim agninst the business reputation of Nebraska, but the facts presented in Tix BEE today are unas- sailable, CAPITAL and settlers will find in Nobraska the class of people who save money and pay their debts for two rea- sons. They are honest and the state enables them to prosper. — IF IT bo true that there are boodlers in our city council, why don’t that body undertake to fasten guilt upon suspected partios? Coutinual charges of corrup- tion are disgracing the city. THE men born in 1854 ave yet in their prime, and those born in 1867 have scarcely entered the field of enterprise. Nobraska bocame & territory in 1854, a state in 1867, and twenty-four years later she is an empire in woalth and ro- BOUrces, — BANKRUPTCY, foreclosures, judgments and financial dissolution will come to in- dividuals but not with special frequency ina state with 847 in the bank for every man, woman and child within its bord- ers and the biggost crop and best prices of years practically assured. SPEAKER ELDER'S hotel bill while at Lincoln last winter is alloged to have brought that gentleman to legal griof, It will be remembered the speaker lived somewhat expensively but it was not supposed his landlord had paid any of his bills either directly or indirectly, ACCORDING to the ceusus bulletin giving statistics of education, just is- sued, tho per cent of gainin public school enrollment in Nebraska, during the decade from 1880 to 1890, wus 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 a vory marked contrast to most of | the older states, The most remarkable gains were in North and South Dakota. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: PROGRESS POSSI- BILITIES. In the procession of the states of the Amorican union along tho lines of ma- | toriai progress, the march of Nebraska | has been notable. Tnr Bre presents | in this issuo carefully collected and trustworthy statistics showing the | progress of this state In population and woalth, and it is an exhibit in wh 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 achievement before the resources of this great state shall have reached the limit of development. A study of thess statistics, which show an aggregate prosperity that will compare favorably with that of most of the states, and are n 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 Pres- dent Harrison employed when in Omaha in referring to the vast capubilities of Nobraska. There has been extraordin- ary development in the last twenty yeurs, but there is every reason for the confident belief that in the ensuing equal period this state will realizea greater 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 decnde 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 rate of progress shail be maintained during the next 10 years the population of Nebraska in 1900 will exceed two millions, and theve is every reason to expect that it will reach that fizure by the close of the century. 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 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 statos of New Hampshire and New Jorsey, and the larger part of it can and will be made availabie 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 bolioved, is exceedad 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 here a territory that will sustain well three mil- lions of people, with a soil and climate ~ adapted to the most diversified productions of which any portion of this country is capable. There 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 beet 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 centuries, the pyra- mids of Egypt with tho marvel of the past quartor ofa century, Omaha. Thore- fore it remained for thiseccentric genius with the most consummate method in his alleged madness to place upon the top of the great tombs of the ancient Egyp- tian kings the record of an epoch 4,000 years later thun the insoriptions upon their savcophagi. 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 secrets of its masonry and of its architecture have baflled the keenest intellects and the most industrious in- vestigations since history began to take note of its existence. Astronomy and mathomatics, 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 atits age, the purpose of its con- struction and the manner of hoisting its immense stones and placing them in po- sition,. We know almost nothing be- yond tho 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 80,000 people and in 18060 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 1,068,000, 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 ' NEBRASKA'S AND T union. Francis Train for his énterprise and in- clude Omaha in his tour around the earth to satisfy himself that while the moderns construct no useless lasting monuments to their architectural and mechanical skill they have filled the occident with a glory of achiovement in mechanics, architecture, and commercial skill which makes this the most remarkable epoch of history and immortalizes the nineteenth centur science SIONS. July 14, the Trans-Missouri \ssociation convenes at At that time final action Tuesday. Railway Traflic Kansas City. | will be taken upon the subject of har- vest irsions. T'HE BEE in common with the press of the state regards this subject as one of very great importance. . Nebraska’s reputation has been at- tacked by demagogues and her charac- ter as an agricultural state has been Im- ached. Eastern people are laboring grave misapprehensions of the conditions provailing ,here. The failuras of crops for a year or twn have discouraged immigration, weakened the faith of investors and caused tho aban- donment of some farms not yet under cultivation, Nebraska never looked more attrac- tive than at present. Hor peovle were never move 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 n man who has lost faith in her as o grain growing - common- wealth. We want people who are looking to the west for homes and 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 wus 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. They cannot afford to discourage the excursions. They should unite upon the old harvest rates, or better ones, and so put ail eastern passenger agents in the field to advertise Nebraska. THE BEE hopes Geneval Passonger 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. OUTLOOK FOR THE WEST. The region west of tho 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 excecd in value those of any provious yerin our history. There have been some extreme estimates of the probable amount of the crops which a more 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 Buropo will have the shortest crop in a number of years. Her probable deficiency is estimated at 175, 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 Kuropean countries may adopt will keep American 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. Ho is to be por- mitted to experience ahat he has. not Kknown for soveral years, an appreciable improvement in his financial afaivs, Ho will have money to pay his way and to meet maturing obligations 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, as the beginning of a prolonged era of steadily increasing 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 few years of good crops at profitable prices would bring this about. But it is parhaps sufficiont to confine consideration to the immediate outlook and this {s of the most cheering and gratifying character. DEPOSITS $47 PER CAPITA. The total sum of money on deposit in the banks of Nebraska exceeds $50- 500,000, It is in excass of $47 per capita. The per capita of the total circulating medium, gold, silver and bank treasury notes in the United Stiates, is less than $24. In other words the people of Nobraska have twice as much money in bank subject to check per capita as the people of the ontire union have monoy 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 ugricultural or kindred pursuits. The year just passed has been unfavorable for crops, and in preced- ing yoars prices of furm products have ranged below the average. Nebraska is a new state and her people have been necessarily borrowers to a large extent bucause they were engaged in de- veloping new torritory. In faceof theso untoward circumstances the actual figures of savings a1e phenomenal. In view of the discussions which have confused our well informed people upon therelative financial condition of the farming community of Nebraska and the west these figures are of especial impor- tance, They give the lie direct to the malevolent misstatements of demagogues and prove what every thinking man in the state has believed, namely that in spite of recont discouruging experiences | | ave his lmag NBAY, JOT Then he will thank George ' this state is far above the averago in fin- Deposits in the banks actual surplus of cash, oearing houso credits apsets, Nebraska has but two considerable cities and no other groat manufacturing or commercial contors.

These savings are consequontly the nccumulation ‘of the many and not of the few.

The splendid erop prospects for this year, if realized, will materially in- crease this prospority and put the groat majority of our producers in a position to ensily meet overy obligation. Tho outlook for Nebraska is altogether cheering. MR. PARNELL s getting no mercy from any quarter since the defeat of his candidate at Carlow, Everywhero that result appears to be regarded as docisive 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 for a great many more people. Those people who want to imposo fur- ther restrictions upon immigration can- not hope, thorefore, 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 findaowelcome 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 bo 1o objection to meve, but it is desirable to acquire it jn the same way that what we have has been acquired, that is, by honest industry and judicious thrift. Theso alone mitko a sound and stable @inancial condition. All other ex- pedients for ‘oreating capital are essentially dangerous, and if persisted in must eventuate in disaster. ——— THERE would be litile or no boodling on tho part of cortain members of the board of education if the reputable members were more attentive to busi- ness.

The mortgage picture commonly drawn by an alliance man is & good illustration of what this alliance imagination can do without balf trying. In the last numberof the North American Review Mr. Polk, the prosident of the national alliance, makes tho astonishing statement—that is, astonishing if coming from anybody but an alliance man--that “the national records shayy the existence of ,000,- 000 of mortgages on the farms and ‘homo- steads of 03,000,000 of people—a mortgage to overy seven individuals, or 8 mortgage for every four families out of fiye.” Mr. Polk tion this ono fact that in the to 180 tl 2 have been tuis country —tho kinds of property Fray. sntion, decade from 1850 placed on record 1 whole of it, all —about nine million mortgages, aud away that facully gallops with it, as we have seen, It does not ocunt with Mr, on 12, 891—SIXTEEN Polk that some, possibly two-thirds, of those mortgages have been discharged; that many of them represent two or moro sales of tae 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, e An Editorial Sermon, Rockport (Tex.)

Prico, a well known young at- torvey of Lincoln, has undergone the ploas- ant experience of being married twice within the past mouth, and to the same young lady oach time. It appoars that some woeks since thoy were united in marriage by Rov. (1) J. S. Edwards, a supposed clorgyman of this city, and tho young boople, rested socure in tho bolief that they wore logally and surely tled, but one day it came to tho cars of the groom that the man who had married them was an oxpelied minister, and thorofore had 0o legal right to marry any persons, Natur- ally ho confided in his bride, and after con- sulting soveral attornoys found that the mar- risge was ali right anyhow. Tho young woman, however, would not rest under the uncertainty, and the groom deferred to hor wishos, and a fow days since they quietly steppad into Judwe Stowart's ofice and were made one sure and fast. The man Idwards, who porformed the ceremony, is known in lowa as “Patent- right Joo.” He has done some preaching whon business was dull, but it is alloged by tho Mothodist min- isters here that serions charges wore made against Edwards in Towa about soven weeks ago und he was given tho choico of either starding a church trial or withdrawing entirely from the Mothodist church. To avoid any public scandal ne took the latter course and now does not belong to any church, SEQUEL TO THE STEEDY CASE.

It is just such testimony as it is generally be- lieved Pinneo possesses that the heirs are looking for as the basis of a suit to provent Mrs, Sheedy from obtaining the share of the estato she claims. 1t is learned from an authoritative sourco that Mr. Pinueo has mado every offort to sottle the claim, having even made a proposi- tiou to Mrs. Sheedy to arbitrate the matter, but S. M. Melick, who is_attending to the financial affairs of Mrs. Sheedy, rofused to do 50 or to name any price which he would pay. Somo sensational developments are ex- pocted. Stoarns & Strode, who have ropre- sonted the widow all through, have advised that the claim be paid, but Pinaeo's claim is roceiving the same treatment, as that of the Carders and othors.

Green, trustes of Gertie and Joo Boyle, under a chattel mortgage for 8$1.037.50. 'The owner of tho 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, belonged to the chilaren, for whose benofit the morigage is made.
