STEADILY and surely the Omaha stock market grows and develops. Tuesdny over 16,000 hogs were received, and all but 600 sold, nearly all being tuken by local packers, Eronry-rive Nebraska counties re- port releases of mortgages during Octo- bor, 1801, aggregating $1,318,528 07. These figures are a pleasant reminder that the occupation of the calamity croaker is gone and an era of prosperity has begun. TuE Union Pacific railway gives em- ployment and wages to 24,802 persons and divectly supports 100,000 people. Great is the Union Pacificand if it would brace up itself and the B, & M. on the union depot matter would be greatly to bo praised. Tribune thinks David Bennett Iill is a man who should he watched. In view of the nomination and eloction of Flower and Sheehan as governorand lieutenant governor of New York, few peopie will dispute the 77 une’s proposition. TaE New Yorlk JAY GouLD may have permanently re- tired from Wall street, but tho bulls and bears of that impressionable institution will do well to keep a weather eye out for the wizard.

Nothing quite so much men- aces the democratic party in the next national election as the probable revival of business throughout the country, UNDOU I EDLY propose a bill modifying the some AMERICA’S militory establishment, outside of the War department at Wash- ington, costs $26,000,000 per annum. In- cluaing salaries, contingent oxponses, public works and miscolluncous expend- itures, it is estimated tho outlay for 1893 will oxcood $45,000,000. War is oxpen- sive in time of peace, if the parpdox be pormissible. THOMAS BRAC Reep will be on the floor of the house this session as the leader of the republican majority. This is sure to make lifo on the republican side of the house thoroughly enjoyable, As for the majority and the spoakor, when congross adjourns they will bo convinced that Mr. Reed is a terror to democrats whether he controls. the com- mitteos, the gavel and the mace, or only his tempor. CONGRESSMAN MCMILLAN of Tennes- 800 was born in Kentucky and that makes him feel pacticularly ugly toward Carlisle and Breckenridge, who were not neighborly enough either to help him or lot him alone. Nevertheless the Tennessee statesman believes he holds the key to the situation and if he wins there will be some other man from Ken- tucky than Breckenridge given Ken- tucky’s place on the best committees. —_— THE nrew armoved cruiser New York, whien wuas launched at Philadelphia yosterday, is a twin-screw vossel pro- pelled by four separate engines, each of 4,500 horse power. She is the most formidable cruiser that has ever floated the stars and stripes, and adds one more powerful vessel to our nuvy. We shall have a floot within o few years which can defy the navies of the world if the present national polioy is not interfered with, THR PURLIC LANDS tis worth while that the people of | the country should bo agnin remindod of tho remarkablo sy the prosent administration in providing for « eottlement of the public lande, parison with what was dono by the pre- | pss of prope ceding ndministration. It is well to do | this in order to show tho difference | Lotween a reasonable and liberal | policy and one which proceeded | upon the idea that at leust | every other man who took up a piece of | rascal who nment. It land was probably a tended to dafraud the g muy boe freely granted that the g ment and the lonest people of the | United States have suifored much from | unluwful teansactions and frauduiont | n with the public lands, practices in connect settlement of the ations and individuals nation in this tent. obody hns ever pretended to deny this, and nono too soon was this sort of thing | hit to an end But the Cleveland administration cume into power with the idea that | n 1o honesty whatever in Corpor- rohbed the o a0 enorimous ex- have way there had ! this branch of the public business, that only lawlessness and corruption and fraud hud prevailed, and that conse to reform that quently it was necessary everybody should he put under suspi- cion and subjected to such treat ment a8 is commonly accorded to people suspected of eriminal conduct or eriminal intent. It is a mat- ter of history that the effect of this policy was to work yory great injustice and hardship to thousands of honest and 5 who had complied or with the ments of the law. Instead of instituting veform in o rational, conservative way, the democratic administration of the well meaning sett ve complyi roquires goneral land office concerved a manin the practico with regard to and in- stead of trying to ge und pro- mote the scttlement of the public do- for changing encour main did all it could to embarrass and retard it. The working force of tue office was largely diverted from its logitimate function and employed in efforts to establish fraud, allowing tho proper work of the bureau to get so fur in arvoavs that when the present admin- istration came into vower it seemed that it would be impossible ever to catch up with the hout very greatly increasing the force and adding largely to the expense of the se Having thi vation in mind, the record of the goneral land oflice under this administration must ba regavded as oxceptionally excetlent, € prog! has been made in clearing off the ac- cumulated business, so that t com- missioner is enabled to promise that with the force the business of the bureau will practically be brought upabreast with current work by the end of the next fiscal year, while the amount of done has business wi vee prosent office new business been times greator than during the corresponding period under the pre- cedin dministration. 1t is record that most fully vindicates the policy of the republican party regarding the pub- lic lands, and reflects as much credit upon the business chasacter of the Har- vison administration as that of any other branch of the public service. WANT 50 BE STATE Both Arizona and New Mexico have signified thetr intention tousk the Rifty- second congress to admit them to state: hood, and their representatives expr confidence that the request will be complied with, It is quite possible, however, that they may bo disappointed. Tho sentiment for admitting new states has been protty well satistied for the [ the prosent, and tho quite general feeling is that the remaining territories shouid be very much botter equipped than they are for the responsibilitios of statehood before they are admitted. According to the report of the acting governor of Arizonn that territory has 70,000 population, which is 10,000 more than was given it by thecleventh census, which would of course be the guide for congress. It is doubtless to little purpose to ask for statchood with a population only about one- third of the ratio of representation under the new apportionment, and, while a very good showing may be made for the territory in the matter of re- sources and possible future developmont, unless it shall appear that the prosent conditions would warrant dovolving upon the people the responsibilities of statehood, and it will be extremely difli- cult to mako this appear, the applica- tion should be, and very likely will be, rejected. With regard to New Mexico her claims to state- hood are much botter than those of Arizona both as to population and devel- opment, while equally good as to re- sources and the pos: ities of tho fu- ture. New Mexico hasa population of 153,000, twice and & hall that of Ari zonn, according to tho census, and the assessed valuation of the property of the former is very much greater than that of the latter. But iv is fairly objected that the population of New Mexico is more thun half atien and has very little sympathy with American institu tions. This is a matter which con certainly cannot properly refuse to con- sider, for in admitting peoplo to the privileges and advantagoes of statehood, thereby placing them upon an absolute equality with the people of the oldest states, it is to be desired that all of them shall not only have an 1ntelligent under- standing of the constitutionnl rights conferved upon them and the obligations they assume, but that they shall be in full and hearty sympathy with our sys- tem of government. There need be no hurry about creat- ing any more new states. Nobody ex- cept the ambitious politicians in the re- maining territories would gain anything from statehood, and the politicians can walt. At any rite it is not necessary to consider their welfare or consult their wishes in the matter, There are now quite us many states with barely sufi- clent population and resources to meet the requirements of state government ns it is expedient to huve in the union, and to add to the number might lead to mis- chievous consequences. —_— MORE PLAIN TALK. Referring again to the exasperating indifforence of Omaha busivess men to ress THE importance of pushing public and privato enterprises for all thoy are worth this prosent winter, we desire to allude to a few things which deserve immoedi- ate and intelligent consideration, There are two little cities almost equi-distant from Omaha, which are wida-nwn enterprising and publie apirited. Their tizens have stood together for the common intevest in the face of disastors und discourngemonts which would weaken the patriotism of many, These two citios are Sioux City and Lincoln, Omaha s larger by 50,000 people than the two combined, and the shadow of O | in the teeth of the sharpest comp both have grown into important metro- politan centors with bright future The citizens of Lincoln, appreciuting the coming importance of the bect sugar industry to this state and inspired by the discussions in THi Ber of its influ- upon the future of y thin a radius including Omaha, Siovx ty and Lineoln, has called u boet sugar convention for December 16, This con- enco some ¢ W vontion will do nothing but talk and adopt resolutions, but it focalizes the beet sugar discussion av Lincoln, and is o strategic move for which the citizens of tho capital deserve eredit Having also a beet sugar department in tho university with the possibility that congress will appropriate money for a small factory, it must be admitted that Lincoin hasthe beet sugar idea fairly polarized upon hevself, Sioux City on the north has idle either, but hus been negotinting with an alleged syndicate for a factory. However, her especinlly notablo finesse is manifest in the matter of a Duluth, Minn, connection and while we have been doing nothing sho has probably se- cured tho Winoan road which is bo- lieved to be part of the Groat Northorn systom. The busy Towa metropolis is a not been thorn in the upper side of Omuha's corpus and no mistako. A large part of the jobbin of the territory peneteated by the Northwestern and its conocetions in northern Nebraska and South Dakota is onjoyed by Sioux City., Her citizons wd together going so far as to build a railway on their own account in order tosecure trade. The railway invest- ment may never bo profitable, but it illustrates the styls of enterpriss which has lifted Sioux City to the froat ranic of Toy These instances ave briefly alluded to in order that the eyes of some of our peonle may ho openad to the fact that although Omahn 4s more populous and more wealthy than the ncighbors re- ferved to, she cannot afford to ignore their enterprise. THE Bai hopes Lo see Dhoth the cities named grow in the future as in the past, but vefrain from sounding a note of warning to the busitess men of Omaha or from once more remarking that the destiny of Omaha will bo largely determined by what her citizens do for her the present winter a cities, eannot 14 for ser AN inspeetor claims : which performed in September during time ho states that he made daily pil- grimages to the oftico of the Board of Public Works but was not assizned to duty.
