July August epte « “STEADY with anupward tendency” is remarked of Omuha real estate since Tuesday. THE republicans of Nebraska are awaiting with interest the annual Thanksgiving proclamation of the pros- ident. RECENT bank failures suggest the en- actment of moro stringent banking laws and tho appointment of examiners who will examine. ONE political probability remains un- isturbed: Tho spauker of the house of reprosentatives at Washington will be a southern democrat. THE Australian ballot system is very much needed in Cork. As a preventa- tive of disturbances it is supevior to an army of police officors. BRrAziL and Paraguay ave both on the lookout for dictators. Nebraska has one to spare, who can bo had cheap. The climate of this state is too severe for his constitution. THE art exhibit of the Western Art association should now receive attention from our citizens, We can and should make the event memorable among peo- ple of education and cuiture in the west. Dip the dictator have a presentiment of the result when- he tearfully an- nounced at the Hastings convention aftor Edgerton was nominated that he would leave Nebraska soon after elec- tion? PETER A. Diy, the railroad commis- sioner-elect of Towa, was the early chief engineer of the Union Pacific railway. He is not responsible for the ox-bow sur- vey betweon Omaha and Fremont, how- over, THE silver subsidiary coins are to con- tain new designs. The old motto, *‘In God we Trust,” holds its place,however, and will continue to afford the pungent paragrapher the basis for the antique but expressive bon-mot about all others paying cash. SI0UX PALLS is achieving an unen- viable distinction and receiving a large transient population by reason of the lax divorce laws of South Dakota. Sioux Falls is headquarters for about half the male and fomale misfits of consequence in America. ONCE more THE BEE rises to remark that it is high time the Nebraska World’s fair commission began the good work of arousing local business, agri- cultaral and other organizations to the importance of making an appropriate and extensive exhibit of the state’s re- sources and attractions in Chicago in 1893, ‘WHEN we come to think of the Minne- apolis mills’ grinding an average of 85,000 barrols of flour per day we are led to remark that a great deal of Omaha and Nebraska money goes to the Minne- sota motropolis to help swoll this out- put, and which if expended at home would keep Nebraska’s four hundred mills running to their full capacity. SENATOR SHERMAN shows & proper appreciation of the political situation in JTowa in saying that if the republican party of that state desires success it must unload the incubus of prohibition. No party, says the sonator, that at- tempts to regulate the appetites of the people can carry that load on its should- ors and succeed very long. The repub- licans of Towa have been struggling under this burden for years and suffering a steady decline of thelr strength, yet despite this experience and the irrefutable fact that prohibi- tion has utterly failed, it would seem that & majority of the party ave still disposed to maintain this policy and keep the party saddled with a load that must inevitably crush it. The advice of such a republican as Senator Sherman ought to coynt for something with the fntelligent republicans of Towa who sin- cerely desire the success of their party and who are able to consider this ques- tion without passion or prejudice, and it Is time that such men begun to earnestly ssert thomeelves in favor of removing the prohibition load frow the shoulders of the republican party. Democratic leaders and organs in New York expross the opinion that tho result of the election in that state settles the | presidential election of next year. This is reported to be the view of Mr. Rich- ard Crocker, the Tammany chief, and tho New York 7imes remarks that **Mr. Cleveland’s re-nomination and reselec- tion have been made as certain as fu- ture event can be.” Undoubtedly most democrats outside of New York en- tertain a like noveful opinion of the prospects of their party in the national battle of 1892, It will be interesting at this time to inquire as to the poussible situation next year. Under the new apportionment, based on the census of 1890, the number of presidential electors is 444, making 223 for a choice, The twenty chose repnblican elec- tors in 1888, have now 240 | electoral votes, and the eighteen that domocratic electors | have 175 electoral votes. The six new states have a total of twenty electoral Of the states which went ropub- 1888, New York and Indiana, with fifty-one electoral votes, may be regarded” s doubtful for next year. | Assuming that the other states, except | Michigan, that wero republican three years ngo will bo so mext year, and dividing the electoral voto of Michican equally between the democratic and republican candidates, we have 191 votes from these states, ‘The new states may safely be counted on the republican side with the possible exception of Mon- tuna, having three electoral votes, so that with seventeen votes from theso states there appears to be reasonably as- sured to the republican candidate 208 electoral votes, fifteen less than are sary toa choice. Of the eighteon states that chose demoeratic clectors in 1588 at least two are to be regarded as doubtful in 1802, Connecticut and West Virginia, with twelve electoral votes. Allowing the democrats seven votes from Michigan, that party can count with reasonable certainty on 170 elec- toral votes next year. It thus appears that the republicans will go into the national contest of noxt year with a strong prob- ability bf securing 208 electoral votes, fiftoen less than the number nccessary to eloct, and that the democrats cannot be sure of more than 170, or fifty-three less than the number necessary to & choice. The doubtful vote will besixty- six, distributed as follows: New Yorl, 36 Indiana,15; Conneeticut, 6; West Vi ginia, 6; Montana, 8. Upon this showing the republicans can win with Indiana or with the last three named doubtful states, while the democrats to be suc- cessful must carry New York, Indiana and one of the other states. It is, therefore, plain that nothing is set- tled by the result of the late election in New York so far as the contest of next year is concerned. The one certainty is that the democrats cannot do without that state next yearand they may be de- feated with it. Manifestly the chances of winning noxt year’s fight are with the republicans, and they are pretty suro to be improved by the lcereasod prosperity of the country and by the probuble course of the democratic house of representatives. 'The outlook for the republican party retaining control of the exocutive branch of the government is altogether encouraging. | NOTHING IS SETTLED. | | necossary states that chose states vote lican in nece A PROMISE OF PROSPERITY. Good government means overything for Omaha. The verdict of the people on Tuesday is clearly in favor of honest, efficient and progressive administration. Boodling councilmen and suspicious characters in public offices have been given a very emphatic hint that honesty is at a premium among taxpayers. Wo have hopes that the new government will fully appreciate the expressed will of the peopler and that they will avoid entangling alli- ances with contractors, franchised corporations, political' cliques and ward bummers. We expact a groat deal frow the new mayor and his associates in oftice. AlL tho bond propositions are carried. This means that $1,260,000 of public money will be expended in improving the city. This large sum, supplemented by contributions from the taxpayers in spocial assessments and grading under the “‘threc-fiths clause,” will mako noxt year a banner year for public work in Omaha. Not less than $2,000,000 will be distributed among our people. If it be honestly expended und every man elected on Tuesday has pledged himself individ- ually to see that it is so expended, this will give employment to an army of workingmen and stimulute all branches of commerce in the city. Coming with the good work auspi- clously begun in favor of patronizing home industry, and the general revival of trade consequent upon large erops und remunerative prices, there is overy reason to look forward to next your as one of unexampled prospority in Omaha. Real estate which has been a drug upon the market will rally and building en- torprises will be renewed. Tho era of depression is practically and one of great commercial activity and in- crease in wenlth and population is cleacly foreshadowed. Let every Omaha man take new heart, put his shoulder to the wheel and push thing: over THE SITUATION IN BR: The American people are much inter- ested in Brazilian affairs. For many years tho relations between the United States and Brazil have been very cordial, and this friendship has been strength- ened since the government of that coun- try became republican. Our government was the first to recognize the change from imperialism, peaceably made less than two years ago, and the Brazilian people have shown their appreciation of our friendly action. Brazil was the first country to accept our policy of commereial reciprocity, and very recently the minister from that country has declared that it was entiroly acceptable to the people, al- though European influence has been actively at work tocreate dissatisfaction with it. There have already been good results from the agroement entered into, and it s reasonably ex- poctod that they will grow better a8 our morchants and manufacturers Z1L, ‘ learn to improve the advantages which the arrangement gives them, For these rengons the Amorican peo- ple would regard with great concern t oceurrence of a revolution in Brazil that would overturn the system of government and creatn a dictatorship, or perhaps restore the empire. Such n step would be retrogr which evory friend of republican institutions would regrot. It would place Brazil, even move than before the overthrow of the ompire, in sympathy with the monarchial governments the old world, affording them a steong vantage ground from which to combat repub- licanism in this hemisphere. There are seeds of revolution in most of the re- pablics of South America. Ambitious men reudy to usurp power. Buropean influence is now very strong, and the uro of popular government in after 8o brief a trial would be a great aid to this influence and a stimulus to the revolutionary tendencies in other countries, It would be deplorable on every account, The Brazilian pople commendable wisdom and since they cast off the system, and they should hastily judged, from the occur- rences of the last few days, to be incapuble of self-government, It is quite possible that the veports of a revo- lutionary movement huve gerated, and that whatever misunder- nding has occurred between the president and the congress will be ad- justed without resort to force. Brazil has a constitution that follows closely that of the United States, and if her law be wisely and justl oted there can be no conflict of authority botween the execu- tive and legislative branches of the gov- ernment. She has a great future under free institutions, sand it will be the hearty hope of all Americans that her present form of government will be maintained unimpaired. present everywhere are havo shown patriotism imporial not be been exag- OMAHA’S open board in the Chamber of Commerce building is quietly creat- ing a grain market, although it is ve- ceiving very cold-hearted support from the bankers and business men of the city, If our people could only be brought to a renlizing sense of the im- portance of this enterprise to the future of the city, 11 o'clock a. m. every day would find a very large proportion of the business men of the city at the open Board. may feel a trifle ublicin council- ought to The people and that ex- Ep.

OTHER LANDS THAN OU, There 1s or® fAot that, under ordinary cir- cumstances, fhould furnish a reasonablo guarantoe that wo Kuropean war would ba undertaken voluntarily by Russia bofors 1803, Sho has' decided that hor troops must be reavmed with'a repeating rifle, in order to put them on ap equal footing with those of her neighbors, and this change could hardly be completed in dess than eighteen months or two years. But'as possible offsots to this motive for dolag'we have the euthusinsm surred up by, the Franco-Russian alliance and the exigencios of the Dardanelles inoi- deat, which might procipitate hostilities, whatever Itussia’s interest to postpone them. Meanwhilo the growth of Russia’s floot has attracted attention, A elanco at her goo- grapbical position shows that her naval foroes in home waters, oxclusive of those in the Pucide, are divided into those of tho Baltic and those of the Black, which are too distant to effect a junction in case of need. Moreover, both forces are under restrictions which, as Sir . J. Roed phrases it, approach nearly to the conditions of blockades, In the Black sea tho fetters aro those of the Bos- phorus forts and the European treatiss, from which sho is now struggling to free harself in part. Inthe Baltic tho blockade is that which is enforced by nature nearly half the year, With her accustomed energy, however, Russia has constructed a navy dur- ing the last twenty-five years suited to her especial neads. Sho bogan with a sories of monitors, Inunched during the lattor part of our civil war. Next followed tho admiral class, consisting of four turret ships of about 3,700 tons displacement. A third step in ad- vance was {urnished by the circular coast ae fence shivs, or floating batteries of the Po- poffka class. Their displacement is about 500 tous, the speed about eight knots and the armameut two forty-oue breech londers and four smaller pieces. But in hor torpedo craft Russia has perhaps gained most celeb rity. ‘Taking jhe Baltic ana Black seas to- gether, the torpedo craft of all sorts, built and building, must, according to the informa tion, nearly equal, if they do not exceed, 150 in number, and they are provided with ofti cers and men who are well adapted for this peculiar servico. The frightful distress in many Russian provinces has directed public attention in a very forciblo manner to the extraordinary laxity of the system adopted for tho assess- ment and colloction of taxes. It appears that each province is assessed in a gross sum upon a rough estimate of its total wealth, and once made, the assessment holds good for five years. If any province canuot meot 1ts obligation, it simoly declaves a deficiency, to be.paid at some undetermined future date. The opportunities for bribery, cor- ruption, favoritisw, and rascality of every sind in <uch an arrangement as this,especially in such a country as Russia, are, of course, nfinite. The officials reap their richest hurvest, naturally, in the most pros- perous districts, and 1t is not surprising to hear that the avroars of tuxes are h in the nine “black earth” provinces, the most fertile i the empire. What is exccedingly curious, however, is the fact tuat the arrears. from these niue provinces for 1800 are larger than the arrears of the whole of Kuropean Russia, of which they form a part. The apparent contradiction 13 explaned by the statement that tho other provinces, having pald all their own taxes, have been compelled to pay up on bahalf of their delinquent neighbors. The totalamount of arrears due from Iuropsan Russia last January was 56,000,000 rubles, of which two- thirds are owed by the southoastorn pro- vinces, which are on the vergs of bauk- ruptey.

Mr. Balfour as the leador of the house of commons, with the roversion of tho premierstip when Salisbury surrand- ers the keys, istho most notable event in modern politics. Lord Randolph had, by tho force of his genius, made himsell a power in Enelish polities whon Mr. Balfour’ was simply aa acadomic young gentleman of vast fortune and a nophew of Lord Salis bury. He was pushed ahead by family in fluenco as Lord Hartington had boon pressed. ‘Thero wera foars that Hartington might take Lo the turf or imitato the carcers of peers liko tho duke of Hamilton, who was sont into politics and given officoas a counter -irritant to temptation. It was feared that Balfour might become a mooning book- worm at Oxford, and perhaps be driven by meditation and cioistored ways into the chureh. So ho was seut to govern Ivcland ! He did 1t in an old-fashionaed, stern, Scottish av. Ho was as harsh as the Balfour in tho Waverley novels. His policy was to crush, not to conciliate, ana ho won the tory heart. The struggle for tho tory loadorsiip will come hetween Lord Randolph Charehill and Mr. Balfour. The former represonts tho domocracy. He creatod the party and is its idol. The latter is a brilliant and will advanced cadet of tho house of Cocil. Lord Randolph knows the Isglish peoplo. Mr. Balfour has nover beon in touch with thom, and they have only seen him as a firm Scoteh- wan, badgering Irishmon, antagonizing Par neil and seading lrish leaders to jail. A statesman whose strongest point of political character is that he closes his eyos to the world as it is mirrored to him overy morning by the most powerful agency in civilization may bo an original and eccontric but havdty asuccessful ministor. In a country of ulind mon the one-eyod may govora. lu a country of men with oyes very wido opan blindness in thoso in nuthority is not a cheorful war- rant of success. As to tho allies whom Feanes would have in any futuro war, Russia only neod bo cou- siderod. Spun and Holland havo cxised to bo naval powers, and neither Germainy nor Italy would join in an allianco against England. A combination of Rusita and 'ranco upon the Hasis that the formsr should tave a frea hand te make anothor advanco on the Balkan paninsula and to take Con- stantinoplo, and that F'eanco should attompt to recover Alsaco and Lorraine, could b understond; yet this would not a combina ton Bogland, but against G pany aund Austria.

It way be asked, then, why, If in , the ovenof a groat war France |[$ould uadoubtley be beaten on tho seas, she should maintain so powerful a navy, whicn, if not equal to that of Bagland, is one that sometimes challengos comparison. The explanation is that it has been the deliberate and well settlod polioy of France, ever since the last great war, to maintain her navy with two objects in view —the one that it shall not bo 30 far inferior to that of Eugland as to put the diplomacy of Frauce complotely at the morcy of the Brit- ish government; the other, that it shall be equal in streagth to she navies of auy two other naval powers in Europe noxtin im- portanca to those of England and her own, oL i -Mortem Cot St Louis K “Cleveland and Boies," or “Boies and Rus- soll,” or “Palmer and Fiower” would give the country sound aud bLonest democratio covernmont after 1502, Take your choico out of tho combinations, for out of them tho choige will be made, nst binat public.
