They became gloviously drunk and started in to sealp the garrison. When they recovered their equanimity half the company was in the guard house, DeNveR, the silver queen, is enter- taining the National Mining congress with her hospitality. The congress is devoted of courso to the silver quostion in particular and mining in gonoral. It will probubly take strong grounds in favor of radical silver logis- lation in spite of the logic which is against it. usual generous A WinE range will be noted in tho bids for removing and stoving the elec- tion booths and furniture. Tho lowest bidder proposed to perform tho work for 237.50. The highest wanted $535, In- asmuch as six men at $15 each por weok aud two tonms at $24 each can perform the work, it will b clear that even the lowest bidder is not making contracts for his health, whilo the higher es- timates comprehended a vory handsome percentage of profit. e Omaba car wheel industry promises to be large and profitable. The local railways and the stroet car com- panios are giving the now enterprise every encouragement and wo may reasonably hope that the new enterprise will develop rapidly and become ono of tho great establishments of this city. The doctrine of patronizing home in- dustry has been adoptod by the local corporations, and this is one of the great results of tho agitation in its favor, J. T. TILLMAN, secretary of the farmors allinnce and a souiherner, in opening his speech in Inaianapolis, de- clared the delegates had not assembled 10 form u third party oc diseupt the old parties. Ho was heartily applauded and if he had closed his address there people would probubly have believed him. But he went on to make & rabid anti-tarif, democratic stump speech and contra- dicted himsolf. He had on the skin of a lamb but did not cover up his southern demoeratic ears, EX-SENATOR PIERCE of Minneapolis thinks the convention fight lies between that city and Omaha, The ex-senator, of course, balieves his own town will be solectod, but makes the mistake of giv- ing it out that Omaha has no hall suffi- clently large to accommodate the meet- ing. When the Omaha delegation reaches Washington tomorvow the fact will be announced that this city has two halls of sufficient capacity to entertain the convention. If the locution rests be- tween Omaha and Minneapolis it is safe to make wagers on Omaha, THE OMAHA DAILY NEBRASKA AND THE WORLI'S FAIR. ’ Polk endeavors to mislead his confiding Neobraska has an immense interest in the World’s fair. {one who will attend that great exposi- tion of nineteonth century progress, No- braska should secure ral thousand thrifty Lying but 500 miles from Chicago, on the direct route to the Rocky mountains and the Pacifi wn should be able to halt within our boundaries a goodly number of overland tourists who will be looking America over for homes and investment. It is of the highest importance that Nebrask do something in connection with the great fair to attract esy il attention to her resources and attractions, The state has approprinted §50,000 for an exhibit and the expenses incident to the preparation of the exhibit. This is about one-fourth enough, and a large part of this sum will be expended in sai mileage of commissioners. Th oly enough left when the time comes for the erection of a building. In fact, it would be by no means an unwiso investment to ercct a bailding which shall cost fully $50,000. How suppose that but half the sum 18 s0 expended, we must raise $100,000 or $150,000 more for the exhibit and ex- penses direetly connected with it. When our state board of commission- ers was appointed its mombers faivly bubbled over with enthusiasm. Lately, however, they have been doing and suy- ing nothing. The time has come whon Nebraska must bestir hersell, Although it is nearly eighteen months until the formal opaning of the faiv occurs, tha time will be short enough for propar tion. Ivery local board of trade, ag- riculturat and horticultural and vy organization for furthering the ural interests of the state should be inspired with enthusiasm upon the subject. Tho commissioners should dis- trict the stato and devote a portion of each month to public addresses and private discussion of the subject. Special or- ganizations in behalf of the state ex hibit should be formed in overy county and in all the larger cities. The state should be so thoroughly aroused to the opportunity afforded for advertising her that the next legislature would cheerfully and promptly vote an additional appropriation, to which private and public subscriptions may be added, erough to make tho Nebrask portion of the great show so striking that it caunot be overlooked by a single visitor, Gentlemen citizens, ries and re will be scal ot association resource: of the Nebraska World's fair commission, you are respectfully requosted to bestir yourselves, We shail have no fault to find with the expendi- ture of the state appropriation if it be used in properly advancing intorest in Nebraska in this important enterprise. 1 MISLEADING LEADER Mr. Poik, the president of the south- ern alliance, who has been charged with cherishing an ambition to lead a new party in arace for the presidency of the United States, has a convenient way of making figures satisfy his pur- pose. Tt is a trite observation that ru don’t but everybody knows that they can be made to deceive and and persons like the southern alliance prosident well know how to employ them to this end. In his annual address to the tion of the suprems council of the alli ance at Indianapolis, Mr. Polk unquali- 1y de d himsell in favor of the subtreasury scheme us @ moeans of sup- plying the people with more currency, and by way of showing thoe necessity for an increase of circulation he made this statement, as the telegraph reports him: “In 1865 the amount of curreacy was $2,000,000,000, with 87,000,000 population. Today,with 63,000,000 of people, the vol- ume of currency has been reduced to $600,000,000.” Very little space is needed to expose the mendacity of this statement so far as the currency figures are concerned. Referving to McCar thy’s “Statistician and Economist,” a trustworthy publication compiled from official sources, it is stated that the total amount of cur- rency in circulation Junuary 1, 1866, was in round numbers $358,000,000, con- sisting of legal tender notes, national bank and fractional Gold was at a premium and con quently nox s in goneral cireulation, and for vhe same reason siiver did not form a part of the cuvconey. The por capita of crveulation at the beginning of 1866 was therefore less than $19. How is it Instead of the vol- ume of currency at present be ing only 600,000,000, as Mr. Polk stated, according to an official state ment of the Treasury department it amounted at the boginning of the cur- rent month to $1,500,000,000, and the divector of the mint in his annual ro port recently submitted to the seerotary of tho treasury statos the per capita of circulation to be $25.30. It is to be borne in wind, also, that the purchas- ing powar of the dollar very much greater now than it was at the beginning of 1816, when the currency price of $100 of gold was $144.20. When the relative value of the cusrency then and now is considered, the present volume means more purchasing power than was possessed by the amount claimed by Mr, Polk to cireniution in 1865, The allinnce president is no more cor- rect or truthful rogurding farm mortguge - indebtedness. For ample, ho says at in Kansas such indebtedness awmounts to $165 per capita. The census bureau issued a bulletin of Kansas mortg: statistics a fow wuooks ngo, according to which the total existing debt of the people of the state secured by real estate mortgage is in round numbers $235,000,000, of which the debt 6n acres, or slniost ex- clusively farms, is $107,000,000, the r mainder bein, on lots, The lation of Kansas at the last was 1,427,000, that the per capita of farm mortgage indebtedness in that state Is considerably less than the amount stated by Mr Polk, Havi misrepresented regarding Kunsas, it is but faie to assume that his figuros of farm mortgage indebtedness in Iowa and Illinois ave also wrong. Further- more, the alliance president did not offer any explanation us to the naturd of this indebtedness, how much of it ropr sents money, valuable im- misload, conven- notes currency. 3 Wi now? is have been in popu- census 80 purchase provements, ete. here is another respoct in which Me. From among the mil- | | | | | followers. He contrasts the large in- crease in farm values between 1850 and 1860 with the small advance during the decndo from 1870 to 1880, but neglects to explain that the amount of land opened to settlement during the latter period would inevitably have the effect to lower values. But Mr. Polk deals only in assertions, He does not trouble himself with oxplanations, bocause the, would be fatal to his purpose. THE QUESTION OF LIGHT. At the last mecting of the city council the contract heretofore made with the electrie light company for twenty-candle power incandescent street lamps in the in lieu of gasoline lights, was declured void for good and sufficient rousons which need not be repeated here. The proposition of Superintendent Wiley to substitute 1,200 candie power arc lights in the ratio of one to five and one-half, for $110 per arc light, was not unccepted. As a consequence the Ohio Gusoline company continues in the field with jis glimmers at $19 per glimmer per annum. The action of the council under the cireumstances should be and is approved by people who have taken time to con- sider the proposition of Mr, Wiley and the form of contract which was proposed. There was evidently a purpose on the rt of the new Thomson-Houston com- vany to saddle 1ts monopoly upon the city for indofinits period. Th present contract for nominal 2,000-can- dle power tamps does not expire until 1893 and the scheme underlying the late proposition for suburban light was clearly intended to form tae basis for a further extension of the present high ct. Although the council not been drawn into a act upon the basis suggested it is not too late to analyze the modified contract which was offerea in lieu of that for incandescent lights, The formal statement of the proposition was: ““We have found that one arc lamp dispenses with an average of five and one-half gas or gusoline lamps.” When, where and by what experiments did Mr. Wiley find this to be true? On the con- trary, the best authorities assert that one nominal 2,000 candle power ave light s equal to the illumination of only four and one-half gaslamps of usual capacity. This is for arc lamps of nominal 2,000 candle power. The question of candie power, as us- usually put, is misleading in tho ox- trome. The are lights are only nomin- ally gauged. The 2,000 candle power is t its best only from 600 to 800 stual candle power; the 1,200 candle power lamp about 25 per cent less, The strength of the light varies with the obliqueness of the rays. The lamp itselt iittle to do with the candle power except to set the maximum limit; the in- snsity of illumination depends upon the voltage of the currentand the regula- tion of the latter is always manipulated from the power house. “Then, too, the proposition was entirvely misleading in the stutement that ‘‘the five and a half lamps of twanty candlo power each would by egual to 110 candle power while the are lamps would be 1,200 candle power or ten times as nuch as that of the incandescent lamps.” This is not at all correct even using the con- ctor’s figures. It must bo remem- bered that we ave dealing with only, nominal canale power and the difforence between the nominal and the actual is not usually as geeat proportionately with the incandoscent with the arc lamps, But aside from this it is uot nom- inal candle powor that tho public wishes but rather actual illumination. The reanson that a nominal 2,000 candie power lamp is required to supplant only four and a hulf gas lamps is that tho latter distributo the illumination over the territory from many points; the are light conters at a single point. Tho in- tonsity of the illumination is said to decrense in an invorse proportion to the squares of the distances. We aro paying too much now for 2,000 candle power ave lights. A report made to congress last year upon this subject figures the average annual price paid during December, 1899, for nominal 2,000 canale power lamps in twenty-four cities baving over 10,000 population burning all of every night at $140, 143 citios and towns lomps under simi conditions brought un average of $121.79, Omuna is paying $175, A few official fi zuves relating to prices in the states just surrounding Nebraska may be instructive in this connection, In eack place the ares are of nominal 2,000 candle power and burn all of every night, vast suburbs, an priced contr new [Number | nuual Cost Loavonwartl, Kid Chiliieotne, Mo.: St Louts, Mo Stoux Faiis, ¥, i) Those municipalities owning own plants obtain their illumination ay amuch less cost, and it is only n ques- tion of time when Omaha should own her own lighting plants. tn Newark, N.
