HONDURAS has just had a presidential election and it is therefore well to be on the lookout for a revolution. THE councilman-at-large from the Seventh ward is a faithful attorney of the asphalt contractor. The butter on his bread has a tar taste and no mistake. Tir principal business of the Board of Public Works this season has been that of preparing advertisements for work not to b performed and publish- ing the same in the official paper. THE muan who croaks out that Ne- braska is not a fruit country will please take notice that Otoe county will this year ship 150,000 barrels of apples and most of them will go to Chicago! Wirnour regard to the particular merits or politics of the candidate named by the city clerk, it ought to be agreed on general principles that the clerk s¥ould have a deputy of his own liking or seleciion. CoME to think about it Mr. Frank Ransom appears to bo the only party to the famous injunction suit who has es- caped with a whole skin thus far. Mr. Ransom acted in good faith as the testi- mony clearly proved. THIRTY-FIVE counties represented in the State Business Men’s enterprise of running our advertising train through the east is encouragoment enough to as- sure its success, but at least fifty coun- ties should participate. JoNes-HE-PAYS-THE-FREIGHT is a groat advertiser and this alone explains his letter to Grover Cleveland demand- ing that the ‘‘stuffed prophet’” shall dofine his position upon the gubernato- rial contest in New York. The letter is tmpertinent and pointloss. It will be talked about, however, and that is why it was written. ARIZONA wants to come into the union and is holding a constitutional conven- tion with that in mind. Arizona’s am- bition and onterprise are commendable, but she should hold on jo her territorial habiliments uptil the Moquis have given up the snuke dance and the Apaches make life loss uncertain. Inother words, she should wait until her population has inoreased enough to make sealping and snake dancing lost acts in the territor J.

TuE Real Estate Owners’ association is on the right track and should vigor- ously push its investigations into the management of county and municipal affairs, The bellowing of a gored ox noed not disturb the committee. As the authoritios have not deemod it neces- sury to call o grand jury, the citizens themselvos must carry on the investiga- tlon into tho nets of public officials, No matter who is hurt, let the good work go on. There are boodlers in publie positions in Omaha and some of them are secking preforment ut the hands of voters at tho coming eloction. In the fntorest of good government these schemes must be exposed and their ambitions thwarted. The committee has the best element of the community at its back and should not weary in woll doing, but pursue its investigations with Increasing vigor and relentless persist- ence. A GREAT EXHIDIT. No man can see the magnificent agri- cultural exhibit at the state fair without pride in the state. It is not alone taste- fully arranged and attractive bec it is actistic, but it is a convines ing proof of the greatness of Nebraska. Not half the counties in the state are | represented, undertake to say | no other building at any other state fair | of the eame proportions can compare | with agricultural hall at Lincoln for the number, size and quality of grains, veg- etables und grasses displayed. No state | except Nebraskn could rise from failure in a single yoar to such signal superior- ity. The Nebraskan who can doubt the future of his state after these exhibits has pessimistic tendencies which will make him question the eternity of | paradise when he begins to experience its delights. A striking featuro of the greatexhibit is the marvelous showing made by the frontier counties. The far west does herself proud. The counties which last yonr were sorely distressed by absolute failure and whose citizens actually suf- )t comfortable » on hand the fair with of this year’s crops which make those of some of the older counties seem almost insignificant. The figures showing the yicld peraercof such grains and roots as have been harvested are almost beyond belief. They simply prove what ave nearly all beginning to believo that Nebraska better than a gold mine from the Mis- souri river to the Wyoming state line. The great western f of the state will pay fordevelopment and not disappoint the sanguine pioncors who have entered upon the task of conquering it. The exhibit at the state fair shows that the scheme proposed by the Siate Business Men’s association for an adve tising train can be carried out most sue- cessfuily. If nothing oes into the cars except selections from what is displayed at Lincoln the traveling exhibit will talk louder for Nebraska than period- icals, orators or even harvest excur- sions. The showing at the fair and the universal surprise it oceasioned among visitors is positive proof of the value of the plan under idoration by the Business Men’s association. THE MANUFACTURERS' OPPORTUN. Public sentiment has responded pat- riotically to THE Bgr's suggestions in behalf of home industries. Almost every man, woman and child in Omaha who can read admits the strength of the arguments advanced and already orders are going to the retail dealers to sup- ply housoholds with Omana arti- cles in preference to those from abrond. Our 168 home manufactorics have an opportunity for pushing thei trade never befo'e presented. The people are ready to use their manufuc- tures if they can bo informed where and how to get them. The call for a meeting of manufactur- ers on the 2Ist inst. to organize an association is a good move in the right dirvection. Tt will enable these business men by combining their ideas and their influence to not only increase their own business but to stimulate retail trade all over the city. An increase in the ca- pacity and output of the factories means more men earning wages and mo-e people to purchase supplies. - In other words it means prosperity. In the course of a few months the association could enlarge its member- ship to include Nebraska manufacturers and its exhibit to a display of Nebraska manufactures. Eventually and in a com- paratively short time it would develop all around. The association rooms should be a permanent exposition of Omaha manu- factures. Its secrotary should be a man who will push the enterprises he repre- sents. It would be a place of Interest to overy Omahan and one which will attract the attention of visitors into a great manufacturing exchange. The time is ripe for action and the peo- ple are back of the manufacturers now. Let no time be lost in taking adyantage of the opportunity circumstances have presented. use but we seeing fered for the necessaries oxistence at specimens we con THE VOLUME OF CIRCULATIO! The statement recently sent out by the treasury department, showing the total money cireulation of the country and the amount per capita for each year since 1860, has had the effect to silence the clamor of the demagogues who had been insisting that there was less money in the country now than in some pre- vious years sinco the rebellion. The official figures, which 1t is presumed no one will venture to dispute, how- ever much some mny persist in tho view that there is not money enough, show that the per capita circulation of the country is larger than it ever wis before, and we know from the silver transactions of the treasury that it is steadily increasing. It is explained in connection with the published statistics that the estimates during the war period do not include in the circulation the one and two y notes of 1863, nor the compound in- terest notes, because they were not used as a circulating medium, but were held as interest-bear- ing investments, and when they came back into the treasury were as san and unworn as on the day of issue. Neither are gold coin and gold certifi- eates included in the clireulation from 1862 to 1878, because gold was then at a premium in currency, was not in actual circulation and was treated as a commo- dity, except on the Pacific const, whera the amount of specie in circulation is estimated at $25,000,000. Subsidiary silver was also excluded from circula- tion until 1876, when by act of congress it became a part of the circulation. Another element to be considered, as going to reduce the real proportion of circulation in 1865 to the present volume, is the difference in the purchasing power of paper money. On July 1, 1865, the amount of money in circulation was in round numbers $741,000,000, of which $0689,000,000 was paper. During the calendar year 1865 the average market price of gold was 157, so that it required $157 in ourvency to pur- chase as much of any com- modity as could be purchased with $100 in gold, The #714,000,000 which was then in circulation was therefore ar equivalent, as an average for the year, to only $464,000,000 of the money which THE OMAHA DAILY of this amount ifestly p cireus constituted the et country since January 1, 1879, an per eapitaof 81436, Tt man most important in considoring ti lation of the war period not to I of account the relative purchas- ing power of the then and now, and when this is done it will be seen that not only hasthere beon large inc in the amount of circulation per capita but a material gain in the value of money as determined by its purchasing power. Such facts as the treasury department has presented are a conclusive refuta- tion of the assertion that the circulation of the couatry has declined, but it is perhaps too much to expect that it will have any influence with the demagugues who are demanding o boundless inflation of fiat currency. ency is ve out curreriey ase MR. CLEVELAND WARNED, Nothing has occurred in recent poli- ties quite <o unique as the lotter addvessed to Mr. Grover Cleveland by Licutenant Governor Jones of New York, who enjoys a national reputation as the man who pays the freight. Mr. Jones would like t rnor of New York, but in the present circumstances has not the ghost of a chanee of reach- ing that political elevation. This is not due to any lack of capaeity or in- togrity, Unquestionably could i1l the office, not comparably wivh soms of the great men who have been ernors of the Empive state, but doubt- less as creditably and acceptably as the present incumbent. In a long career as well as in public life Jones hus established a character for honesty and uprightness. But he is not a politician of the class now running things in New York, and thereforo he ruled out of the race, He is not in it either with the Cleveland or the Hill faction. But Jones has not en- tirely lost his nerve, and he does not propose to lie down and be politically pulverized without making some noise. Mr. Roswell P. Flower is a candidate for the democratic nomination for ernor. times a millionaire, and his chief merit as a politician is his liberality in contributing far eampaign oxpenses. [t hus hoen supposed that Me. Flower’s candida being backed by the :nce of Governor Hill, but th's eem from the letter of Mr. Jc The lisutenant gove nor no- tifies Mr. Cleveland that the [riends of the ex-president are freely using his name in their support of Me Flower, and then he procceds to warn Mr. Cleveland that he endangering his sidential chances by permitting this. is warned that he is inviting hostility of the wage curn- ers, the toilers and producers by allowing the of his to promote the political chances millionaire. *The fact is pointed out that there is a growing movement in protest against the aggressive power of wealth, and with that Mr. Jones con- cludes his peculiar letter. Now it is quite possible that Mr. Cleve- land is entirely innocent of any interest in or connection with the efforts of Mr. Flower to get the guboernatorial nomination. It is by no unlikely that Mr. Jones wasn’t tirely ain of what he was talking about. And if he were it is not clear what he could reasonably hope to accomplish by publishing such a lotter, But at any rate it throws an interesting and somewhat amusing sido light on democ polities in New York, and does not in the least detract from favorble outlook for republican success. It makes plainer the fact that there is a great deal of disaffection fn tha demo- cratic ranks of a nature that is almost certain to make a republican victory this year. open be gov Jones ov- business gov- He is seve wils influ- would es, to be a mistake the name of a use is means en- cor| It proposition that the county shall pay one-hallf, the city one-fourth and the school district one-fourth of the cost of the election booths has the merit ut least of eusy calculation, though upon what basis the division is made is not clear.

FHaving no public mark Omaha householders would find it very expensivo to turn over the green gro- cery business entirely to the retail gro- rs. T'he license for street peddlers is high enough. WHAT can be done to purge this oity of municipal corruption and dishonest officials, is an oft repeated question. Could the honest, industrious and re- spectable citizenship be awakened to the true situation and induced to take an ac- tive interest in city government, there would be a resonstruction that would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to Omaha. OMAnA people will do well to recog- nize the enterprize of Council Blufls by attending the vaces at Union Park. The two cities are necessarily so intimately connected with each other that the pub- lic spirit of one should always be appre- ciated by the other.

In addition to bemng a thoroughly compotent man for the highest judicial position 1n the state he must have back of him a character and career absolutely unassailuple.” Now if Hon. M. B. Reese does not fill tho bill I should Jike to know the reason why. 1 thing it is generally understood amoag the farmers that Judge Reese was defeated for # renomination two years ago by railroad in- fluence. It will bo sufe this year to nominate this man, whom of all others tho railronds do not want. In anotner way ean the republican party of this state as effectively show that it is now ready and able to cast off the incubus of railroad domination s in the nomination of M. B. Reese to te suprome bench. It is useless to_try to conceal the fact that heratoforo the raitroad peoglo have been able in a largo measure successfully to manipulato tho politics of this state, and it has now como to this, that if they will not voluntarily get out of the way it is our duaty, as well as the dictate of sound policy, to kick them out of the way, and I for one propose, if necessary, the latter alternative. Many republican farmers have horotofore insisted that it the rank and file of the party would rouse themselves we could purge it of this baloful influence. Lot the work of the coming republican state conventian prove tho wisdom of these farmors in remaiing loyal to their party, and let us show farmers and others who have tempovarily left the party that all virtuo did not. po with them. Lot us uominate Judge Reeso, and I belic thousands of conscientious voters who are independ- ents in faot as well as in name, will repudiato the fourth-rate county court house potti- fogger whom their purty proposcs to put in the line of succession o tho seat of chisf jus- tice of the supreme court of Nebraska. W do ot want a man on tue supreme bench who will do any injustice to tho rail- roads, but we do want a man who will do jus- tice by the people, and who, in deciding any issuo as between the railroads and the peo plo in which there might be a doubt as to whore exact justice lay, would give the peo plo the benefit of that doubt. Evidently Judge Reoso is such a man and_tho logic of the situation demands his nomination. CiiariLes WOOsTEIR _— Refugees in Peru Peru, Sopt. 9.

The claims of Claudio Vicuna, who was recently clected prosident by the states under control of Balmaceda and wha now is o fugitive on the German warship Sophie, wero of course ignored. After every one present at the conferonco had boen lowed to freoly and tully express his views, a docision was arrived atwhich, it is contic dently thought, will meet all the require- monts of the case. A public announce ment was then made thut it was the unanimous belief of tho members of the junta and the senators that an election would be tho best method to bring about the tranquil- ity that was so much desired. Accordingly October 18, next, was designated as election day. Seuators, deputics, municipal oficors and presidential electors will voted for, and the balloting will ba conducted in accora- ance with the laws of tho country alreaay cs- tablished.

Tnere ara many names mentioned, anyone of which would doubtless prove most aceeptable to tha people, but what | hear is merest rumor, so it is hardly worth giving it. The enthusiasm over the gallaut behavior of the junta's troons continues unabated and it has been decided to give a number of grand banquets ia tosti- mouy of their brave i also to celebrato their triumph by a teidunm, Minister Egan is very busy is playitg tno rolo of intercessory for many toward the conquered He is using tha trongest influence at his command ou promis nent men in the junta’s party in behalf of Balmaceda's erstwhile supporiers to prevent the confiscation of their property. It is very likely that his efforts will have considerablo weight as there has, within tho past few days, been a complete change in the attitude of the junta's peooto towards him. Among other signs of this is an oditorial today 1 the leading paper here, It oxpresses great indignation at the attacks made on Minister I3gan, both in Cnili and abroad aud declares that all statomeats charging him with par- tisanship are utterly baseless. His conduct, it says has been as unselfish as it has been praiseworthy. Thab this is tho truth, it adds, many prominent members of the juntu’s cause can testify Miister Egan's timely and courageous intervention at various critical timvs, it s saved many well known Chilians of the con” gressional party from disgrace and suffering. There are many incidents, it states, that may not be published at the present time, when they are reverted to, it will be found that Minister Egan bas stood in an env able light when compared to the othor foreign ministers in Chili. His privato con. duct, it says, has been generous to all m dis- tress, and Sympathetic to_those overcome by wisfortune. That the junta s dis- posed 1o mdopt @ cou toward its lato enemies 1s indicated by tha fact that it bas officially announced that free departure from Chili will be permitted. Genoral Valusquez, Balmaceda’s ministor of war, arrived hero' last night and hanaed in Bis submission to the junta. Chicf of Police Valdiveso also arrived with tho sama object. Colonel Stephan, who with twenty. five cavalrym supposed to huve gone to the Argentine Republic t act as guerilias, has been captured and brought here. His cruelty and brutality to the anti-Balmacedists wio fell into bis power has aroused intonse feeling against him. Ho will be very sum- marily dealt with and punishment inflicted upon him within a few days. It will bo re- membered that he figured in a sensational crossing of the Andes in the midst of winter after having orossed from northern Chili into the Argentino Repuolic and having been orderod out of that country by tho authori: tics. Tho feeling against the government of tha Inited States and its people is cooling down here. Oniy among the young bloods in con- gress and in_the army is” any bitterness now exhibited. The national independenco dayv will_be duly colebratea on September 15, Aftor that date the country, in all likelibood, will resume its normal quietudo. ont preparations are on foot to celobrate the oc. casion. Ofticial recognition of tho junta’s govern- mont by the United States has been mada both by Mimster Kean und Admiral Brown.

Ha JEALOUS OF THE YANKEES, An Englishman Who Trics to Be Se. vere on Americans, Loxpox, Sept, 10.—An intensely English correspondent at Hamburg, in the Times suys reports have been circulated to the ef. ect that the prince of Wales has baen por. uted by Euglish and American.visitors in spite of his well known desire for quiot.
