WHEN two young men on a Nebraska farm can realize $4,309 net for a single crop on 360 acres of land, the men who preach the doctrine of discontent have nn uphill job. Tue old members of the committee on ways and means are wickedly doling out rope to the young congressman from Nebraska. They are entively willing that the cager all hang himself. ViLAs is opposed to a 7i-cent dollar and M. D. Hurter of Ohio is denth on free coinnge. They are both for Cleve land for president, but how will they reconcile the rampant free coinage democrats from the south and west? THE house will nodoubt pass the reso- lution that embodies the amendment to the constitution providing for the elec tion of United States senators by direct vote of the people. The American House of Lords will in all probability pigcon- hole it. THE grain men protest against the sxtravagance of the inspector’s depart- ment. T'he protest should be given due sonsideration by the State Board of Transportation. The warchouse law was not pussed in the interest of politi- sians out of employment. Cnint has withdrawn the offensive note written by Matta in October, but sho doos it under duressand mutters some ugly words through hee clenched teeth. Chili is mad, but as America is 10 largoand powerful she will forgive America and apologize for herself. SUGAR beet culture and beet sugar lactories continue to be the leading topics of discussion all over Nebraska.

We fully colneide with the alliunce on this point, but how on earth do they expect to abolish the pass system when the con- gressmen elected by tho independents and members of the late reform legisla- ture not only accepted passes that were tendered them by the vailroads, but have solicited them through railroad politicians? A striking example of this class of reformers is State Senator Poynter, who was acting president of the senato and has just been honored with the position of vice president of the stato alliance. passes | mun and not OPPOSING THE OPTION BILL. The Minneapolis Chamber of Com- merce has adopted a memorial to con- gainat the bill introduced in the senate by Sonntor Washburn of Minne sota looking to the suppression of spacu- lation in grain and hog products. The bill provides for the imposition of spe- cial taxes on “options™ or “fatures” and makes the conditions to be complied with in order to go into this business Hus that it is as- sumed the effect would be to put an end to the business The memorial of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commorce declaves that logislation of this kind would be against the best interests of the producers and dealers in grain in the northwest and other agrizultural states, and if accom- plished witl seriously de business nnd interfere with the prosperity of this great grain-producing countey. The memorinlists represent that the Wash- burn bill would destroy some of the most extensive business intorests of the northwest and would aid in establishing all the questionable of whent speculation which the author of the bill aves it is his purpose to prevent. It is urgzed that teading in farm oroducts for future months grew from necessity through the inclination of owners to sell, for forward delivery, property they could not get on the market for present delivery, and back of the necessity are cnuges, the leading ones being the preservation of the buyer’s credit and financial sufety. Buyersof grain from farmers, says the memorial, must hold the grain in the country for an in- definite period, awaiting their ability or the convenience of railroads to haul it to markel, They are forced either to sell it for future delivery or ry it themselves as speculators. If they attempted to carry it as speculators they would at once destroy their eredit, and wouid find great difliculty in getting money to pay the farmors for theie grain, By making a law thut no dealer could sell until the vroperty would be actually in his pos- session would limit buyers, for none would be found to buy for forward de- livery property that they could not sell again until it would be actually in pos session. If there is a necessity for future sales there is a necessity for buyers of them, and any rule that pre vents the unrestricted sale of what has been bought would surely limit buyers to such classes as would have to use the property for consumption port. s effect of the proposed law, the memorialists say, would be to destroy the competition of the many classes of buyers who are now continually in the market, dr miller and the exporter from the now open and free grain markets, with the wvesult of materially lowering the price of grain at country points us compared with sea- board values and making the business of dealing in grain insecure and purely speculative. The memorialists say that tho claim that the future selling of grain tends to lower prices is not covrect. The practice of future selling for specu- lation, pure and simple, tends rather to enhance vatues than to depreciate them. But the main contention is that future sales ave necessary for the most economi- cal movement of the crops from the producers to the consumers, and that to restrict buyers would be to break up competition, with the activity and higher prices which it stimulates. It must be admitted that theve is a great deul of force in these arguments, and farmers who are demandi: tion as the Washburn bill pro- poses will be wise to consider them care- fully. It is obviously to the ndvantage of the agricuttural producers that there shall bo the largest and freest possible competition among buyers of their pro- ducts, and it is safe to assame that no intolligent farmer will desive that the demand for his grain shall he limited to millers and exporters. It certainly would not be to his benefit to be placed wholly at the mercy of these two inte este, The contention of the Minneapo- lis Chamber of Commerce that the future selling of grain tends rather to enhunce thun to lower prices may be questioned, but the fact is that the practice does not influence prices one way or the other to the extent that is commonly supposed. Speculation irf products that is nothing morve or iess than gambling cannot be made to appear a good thing, and if a practicable way can be found to do away with itits adoption is to be desired. The Wash- burn bill may not be such a measure as prevailing conditions call for. gress denlers in 80 one Iress classes dec sevoral or e i such logisl: BREAK UP THE TRIBE. Senator Dawes of Massachusetts been chaivman of the senute committoe on Indian affairs for many years. He is regurded as authority in the senate upon Indian legislation. The allotment bill bearing his name is the best picee of lawmaking on behalf of the civilization of the Indian which any man has eve formulated. But Seunator Diwes infallible in his judgment ana ther falls into the error of supposing that no move goneral legislation is needed re garding the status of the Indinn, Ho is particularly hostile to the iden of abol- ishing the tribal velations. Ho thinks it would be like turning a flock of sheop looso without shepherds to throw the 250,000 Indians out of their present tribal conditions, The senator’s experience should lead him to a dilferent conclusion. He should know, if he does not, that the chiefs and medicine men ave obstructing the work of the government in its efforts to edu- cate and civilize the Indians. When Indinns ke their allotments, learn to vond and write and becoma self-support- ing, it1s because the influence of the chief and the medicine man has been broken. The fact is that the gov. ment has always been wrong in r nizing chiefship as well as nationality among Indians. Instend of cujoiing the savage okieftains, efforts should airected toward retiving them from loadership. Sitting Bull was a medicino a warrior or a chief, government made him influential with his band by treating him as If he were an independent soverelgn.” The are the fellows who direet the who keep up the traditions and make tight of the progressive [ndinn who i3 disposed to break wway from savagery. of taking old men be I'he The policy who huve resisted every udvanco of civiliza- THE OMAHA tion among their peoplé to Washington in order to impress them with the power of the Great Father, while the younger men in citizens' clothes who are actually striving for o better form are neglected is subversive vili in- of existence, of disciplins and tends to retard « zation, If every Indian agent were structed to ignore the ehiofs, to humili- | at the men and to show espectal favor to those who work and try | to become self-sustaining, it would not b | long until the chief’s savage dress would | bring upon him the ridicule it deserves, and the hideous orgies of the medicine men would be abandoned. The most speedy and effective solution of the Indian problem is absolute disinteg tion of all tribal and other aboriginal organizations, The reservation should not only be broken up, but clans, cliques and chieftaineies should be abolished. Let leadership among [ndians ns umong whites depend upon intelligence and industry, and not upon habitual in- dolence and keeping alive of savage traditions. HOW TO STOP LEAK The way to keep men honest is to re- from them all chances and tem pta- tions to steal, The most common formn of dishonesty among officials who are charged with the granting of permits or performance of work for which a fee is exacted is the habitual ‘*‘knocking down” of the fees, or the exaction of higher feee than the law allows, There is only one way by which these lonks can be effectunily stopped. All city officials, excopt alone the treasuror, should be prohibited, under severe penalty, from recciving or handling any money due to the city from any source whatever. ILivery fee that is dus to the city for uny permitor for th formance of any work done by or under the supervision of any ofticer should bp paid directly to the city treasurer. The applicants for building permits and all hucksters, hackdrivers, auctioneers peddlers and parties who carry on any business that requires the taking out of u licenso should first pay the fee fixed law to the city treasuver and present his receipt to the officer authorized to issue the license or permit, which re- ceipt, returnable to the comptroller, would be a chuck upon the treasurer for the respective amounts. Boiler inspection, sewer inspection, and, when established, electric light, telephone and motor wire inspection fees should be made payable to the treasurer in the same manner, as also the fees for copying public documents oc cortifying to the rvecords in the clerk’s office, and for plats, blue-prints and private surveys made by the city engineer and his assistants. Such a regulation by ordinance will in a great measure do away with scandal and boodling on a small scale. It will alwo insure a systematic accounting for every dollar in fees collected by the yarious officials and enable the mayor and council to rogulate the appropria- tions according to their income. medicine her- SHOWING R SPIRIT The Chilian government has in- structed its minister at Washington to disavow the insulting communication sent by Senor Matta, when minister of foreign affairs This action indicates tha growth of a better spirit in the southern republic. It isa step in the direction of a peaceful settlement of the complication which may have u mollify ing effect at Washington, where accord- ing to all accounts a decidedly warlike feeling has been making progress re- cently, If, as is intimated, the Chilian government never had any other inten- tion than to disavow the Matta letter, the knowledgo of that fact will tend to create o favorable inference. That com- munication was a distinet and very inso- lent denial of the allegations and state- ments of this government, and its dis- avowal must necessarily involve u con- fession that our claims were not alto- gother unfounded. That they were not, but on the contrary were more moderate than the facts warranted, is shown by the testimony of the sailors of tho Balti- more taken at San Francisco, waich the Chilian ministor endeavors to discredit. The disavowal of the Mauatta letter, however, while important, is merely sugeestive of the possibility that the Chilian government is giving friendly consideration to the demands of our government for an apology and for rop- aration. Such an inference is allowa- ble, but 1t cannot reasonably be held to warrant our government in very greatly prolonging the time for a response to i nds, There does not appear to its der be uny suflicient reason why, if Chili’s intentions are friendly, she should much longer delny her answer, for if she means to maintain friendly relations an, apology and veparation are absolutely necessary. This government cannot, with a due regard for its selfrespect, | rvecede from the position which 1t has deliberately taken in this matter, nor willit doso. The Chilian government, it is to be presumed, fully understands this, so that it can have no valid roa- son for putting off iws reply if it means to nccede to the demands, It it does not so intend it will improve all the time allowed by this government in propari- tion for inevitable hostilities. It is understood that the president will send the correspondence relating to the Chilian complication this weelk, and he will doubtiess accom pany it with n messuge giving the views of the administration as to the cou that should be pursued. There is said to bo a very general fooling in congress favorable to giving the adwministration the fullest subport in order to enable it to muintuin the position it hus taken, which men of all parties is wise, just, and essontial to the honor aud dig- nity of the nation. There to be no doubt that if Chill is disposed to pro- o hostilities congress will not hesi tute to provide the moans nec to carey on u war, aud the government would have no dificulty in getting all the soldiers it might vequive, which probably would not be a very larg: num- ber, us the contest would be chiefly one of navies.

CARDINAL MANNING. Minneapolis Times: If it may be assumed that the death of any man is a permanent loss to the world the demise of Cardinal Manning justly stands in this position.

Chicago Mail: The loss of Cardinal Man- ning is not to the Roman Catholic church alone, not to the land of his nativity alone, but to the world, which is the better for his having lived in it. Denver Sun: The dead cardinal was hon ored and respected no less as a man than as a prelate. He died rogrotted and admired alike by the whole English nation and tho entire Christian world.

He possesses an othor strong claim to favor in the sea circled island from the fact that ho is an excollent sailor erit of nigh value in tuo oyes of the groatest maritime nation in tho world Ho shares ju the fonduess of the upper strata in British society for sports and is particu larly fonu of horses and horse racing. Ho never shared in his brother's infatuation for high collars, although ho was what is known s 1 good dresser and is smid to Dossess as many suits of clothing as his distinguished father, Sometimes nis neckwear is rich and radiant, aiter the provailing fashion, per haps due to the influence of the turf, but ho 1s muct fonder of his naval aniform, and the London shop windows are filled with full- length portraits of nim in this dress, taken in all sorts of attitudes. Ho is nequainted with 8 great many Awericaus, whom ho has met in London, and white not **fast" in the larger sense of tho word, ho is a very lively young man, who finds a groat deal of amusemant in hunting the elephant in the big cities and in the most exclusive county resorts. He has been in the British navy since 1870, passing through all the various grades up to his present rank, that of licutonant. 1In 1851 d 1883, with His brother he made a trip aronnd the world as an officer of the Bac chianto. 'The ports visited wera principally those of British colonies. At the end of the cruise the two young princes published u book about it. "It was written partly by Prince Albert Victor, partly by Prince (leorge and partly, so rumor hath it, bystheir tutor. The hook bears evideneo of this com- posite workmanship. Prince George writes like a fun-toving midshipman and spoaks of his brother as “Eddie.” Prince Albert Vie tor writes in a less frank and ‘jolly manner and calis his brother ““Georgio.”” The book is peppered, as it were, all through with statistics and moro or less wise refiections on the state of trade iu the colonies, which are | taken to po the staid and rather pedantic productions of the tutor. An anecdoto is related in connection with this \vovage which woll illustrates his char acter. He attended a ball in the Wost Indies and selected protty girls for his partners regardless of thewr raok. This offended Prince Albert Victor, and drawing his brother aside he remonstrated with him. _“Go into the cornor and sing ‘God Save Your Graudmother,’ ' retorted the royal democrat. I intend to dauce with whom | please.” His dislike for snobbery is further illus trated by his refusal to visit Nowport in 1800 upon learning of tho toadvism which characterized the elaborate preparatious which had been mado to recoive them. The trip over was mado in the ‘I'hrush, of which ho was i command. He sailed for Canada in July, and it was the intention to continue his journey through the castern states and perhaps soesomething of the far west before returning home, All Nowport was in a flutter, and tue hearts of the maidens went pit-a-pat, for in addition to being a real prince he was known to be a superb tennis | player, a good man at the oar and, in the vernacular of the Mariborough house set, “a aivine waltzer.” The great social cnief, Ward McAllister, led the processions of homage with which it was provosed to greet bim, and the preparations for his entertain- mont wero such as had uot been scen since | his royal father came over with the down of youth upon his imporial lip. Prince George, however, being udvised of all this, changed bis itinerary and left at tho end of his Canadian visit, never once coming within | eyeahot of the Newport belles and beaux It was during his stay in Canada that the report was sent out for the edification of the | scandal mongers to the effect that his high- | ness, while doing the towa in Montreal with some congenlal companions, gotinto a brawl, knocked down a policeman’ or two and was locked up before his 1dentity was discovered. The story wus afterward proved to be the work of a “falir,” who was arrested on tho charge of libel, but subsequontly released ut the request of the prince. The prince’s full name is George Fredor- ick Ernest Albert and he was bora at Wind- sor Castle July 7, 1865, In personal appoar- ance ho very much rosembles his father at his age. pCln s gt Vacancies in the College Chicago Heralg For unexplained reasons no successor in the papal college has been appointed to *ardinal Nowman.

But, justas the lead horses had passed over the hill and wereon n spur that led into the bottom lund, or valloy—this was narrow and bordered on either side by deop ravines, worn by the water - and before tho coach had ommenced the descent the driver discov ered a band of Indians about thirty rods in advance. Ho whoeled tho horses in an in- stant—two rods further on he could not bave accomplished tha turn—and, laying whip to their backs, commenced an im- potuous rotivht, The passengers wore ter. rined, and were at once ou their feot. Emery suld:' “If you value your lives, for Gody suke keop your seats, or we aro lost." Tho Indians, about fifty 1n number, gave chaso with their terrifying yell, and for about three milos, which wero nccomplished in about twelve minutes, pursued and pur. suers mado tho most desporato efforts at speed. Tho savago yells of thoso blood thirsty villains and the wails of despair of tho mon and womon 1n the coach ar past the power of pen to describe.

Thore wero two points at which all would have boen lost but for tho driver's wonderful presence of mind. There were two abrupt turns in the road where the coach would have been thrown ovor had ho not brought the team to abalt and turned with caro. This ho did to the dismay of some of the passengors, who saw escape only in speed, but their subso quent praise of his conduct was as great as his courage was cool aud caleulating. George Constablo, who was conducting an ox tratn over tho route, saw tho coach about a mile abead and atonce corralled his twenty-five wagous. The brave driver drove his nine passenzors nto this sholter and safety Words could not express the gratitude folt for their hero and deliveror. In the delirium of delight they embraced and kissed him, and thanked God that he had beld the lines and that they were in a position where they could not interfere. ‘T'ho noble steeds wero not forgotten. The passengers petted thom and cast their arms about their necks with feelings of grateful emotions. ‘This memorable drive would never bo for gotton, though uot recorded here, for tho story would be handed down to posterity by the ‘succyssive genorations of the saved.

The governor of lowa is a dewocrat. Tl q lower house of the legislature is ropublican. Tho senato is domo cratic. The question which cxcites tha most intergst in the state is whether the presett prohibitory law, which prohibits only 1n thoso parts of the state whero the mujority believe in it, small be r tained, or be replaced by a bigh license aua local obtion law, under which those commun itios which aro prohibitory now would remain s0, while the liquor traflic in those which ure not would be regulatod aud taxed. This was the leading issue in the late campaign, and ou it the democrats clocted their governor, A groat number of republicans admit that if something is not dono to settle this ques- tion by getting rid of tho prohibitory law the vote for prosident in the state this com ing fall will be very close. The democrats are of the same opizion. Thoy are inclined to believe that if the law which bas pulied tho republican majority down from the 3,000 given to Garfield toless than nothing remains on the statute-books they may carry the stato for their presidentinl candidate. It 15 not at all probable that they would, but there is no ronson why the experiment should be tried I'ne wise course for the republicans to pur sue is to do what they can for high licenso and local optiou, and ~ thus have it in their power to carry tho state boyongd any doubt at all times, Some of the republican papers advise tho members of that party in the legislature to nlay a waiting gamoe—to st still and se what the democrats will do. The Council Biufts Nonpareil is opposed to such s passivo policy. It recommends that the initiative be tilion by the republicans. It says: But tho house is republican. 1t is tho first and supreme auty of the house, so far as it is concorned. to iegislate upon this question; to say that it shall te removed from the pol itical fiefd. Probibition, thoush it is tho i of the state, 15 not enforced, It never can bo enforced in'the counties of the state in which the chief cities aro situated. It is the duty of tho republicans of the hoase to pass a luw permitting those counties and cities wh desire it to haye local option undera hixh liconse: to cnjoy the privilege of doing is they desire to do, under tho jaw, and not in violation of the law, To do this will placs the republicau party of the stato just where it belongs.
