The question in- volved is whether Mr, Brice is a resi- dont of that state, or was at the time of his election, or a citizen of New York. He has u home in New York City, owns a large amount of property and carries on business there, Ha was enumerated in the census as a resident of New York. He also has a home and other property in Ohio, but for several years hus re- sided very little of the time in that siate, the greater part of his living there since he had a home in New York being during his contest for the senutor- ship. The republicans of the Ohio leg islaturo believe it can be shown tnat when he was elected to the senate he was properly a citizen of the state of New York, and therefora cannot repre- sent Ohjo in the senate. It quite intevesting question, upon which the United States senato muay bo asked to pass judgment.

People must not be surprised at find- ing many familiar names on this bourd. One of its chief objects, as before re- marked in these columns, is to perpetu- we itsolf and promote the inter of Agricultural development wtion, not 80 en sts its members is a secondary consider: MR, MILLS IN THE RANKS. Congressman Roger Q. Mills has done what he was expected to do. He notified the speaker of the house that he will not scrve as chairmun of the committec on interstate and foreign commerce. Thisis one of the best com- mittees of the house, affording opportu- nity for useful and creditable work to a man of moderate ambition. But Me Mills has besn chaivman of the leading committee of the houss, thit of ways and means, and having declined the second place on that committes in this congress it was obviously unreasonable to sunpose that he would accept a posi- tion decmed to be inferior. The spoaker doubtless did the bast hs could in the circumstances to give the Texas states- man prominence amoug the committeo chaivmanships, but his effort is not ap- ted. Me. Mills profers to be in the ranks, where he will be under no obligations to Speaker Crisp and his immediate fis11s anl ¢ mike mat- tors as interesting for them as opporta- nity and his peculiar temperamant may suggest, Mr. Mills vesizned hig chairminship after due deliberation, a6d taken in con- nection with his recent utterances the action cannot be regarded us having no significance, Ho hus very recently in dicated that he is not in favor of giving the country tariff revision in install- ments, as Me. Spri proposes shall be done. He belioves it to be the duty of the democrats in the house to make a onaral revision of the tavifl, regardless of the question whether a meisare of this kind would pass the senate. Mr. Mills does not think it good policy for the democracy to temporize ov employ makeshifts in this matter, and he evi dently intends not to be a varty to such a policy. It is thevefore to be presumed that when the proper time comes M Mills will declare himself in this mutter in no uncertain terms, and it is not un- likely in that event that he will be found to have a pretty strong following. There is another matter regavding which Mr, Mills 1s not. in sympathy with the dominant element of his party in the house. He thinks the democracy should for the present drop the question of the free coinage of silver, while the coin- age committeo is alveady practically com- witted in fuvor of reporting a free coinage measure. On this subject it is to be e pected that Mre. Mills will also have something positive o say at the right time. In short, the Texas congressman has a policy of his own which he does not intend to surrender without a contest, and his best vantage ground for making a fight will be in the ranks. He would bo handicapped as the recipient of any consideration from the elemeut that compassed his defeat for the speaxer- ship. has ns, SHOEMAKER SHOULD BE SUSTAINED, very vespectable and law-abiding citizen of Omahu will concede that the offorts of ex-Assistant City Attorney Shoemaker to enforco the laws-and ordinances ugainst the sale of obscene pupers are commendable. Whatever may be the outcome of the court pro- ceedings to punish Me. Shoemaker for contempt, the sentiment of the commun- ity is in favor of the sippression of filthy pupers that thrive on scandal and pander to the depraved appatite of peo- ple for highty-colored and sensational voports of the doings of the hrothel, ns- signation house and wine room. When the agents and correspondents of such dirty sheots make it a practice to levy blackmail upon men and women by threatening them with exposure of some indiscretion they or their relatives may have committed or have been su pected of, and when these wretches pad- dle out libelous stories and hold them as clubs over the heads of public officials charged with enforcing the laws, it is incumbent upon the community to baek the officials and demand that they do their whole duty regardless of conses quences, The Omaha representative of a nasty publication impudently boasts that his sheet does not claim to respectable, but urges that it is logal and contuins far superior matter to that found in the Police Guzette and Police ) further declares that “the committed except when th to minors, ™ b ews.” 2 i8 no erime paper is sold A mun who appenls on such grounds for publ low standard of Guzette and ol to the Kunsas City sh ging up s o sywpathy has u v Tho Polin may ba inferio morals, 2t in point of ai acious stories that have long passed from the men imply und Thoy are not huwk ri n.

T'he plea that Iated except by erature to minors is puerile. The fact that the indecent Kansas City sheot has been sold on the stroet hoys affords ample proof of them as and would garded in any epurt of justice. Down in Kansas City the peopte have sought protection from professional 1i- belers and blackmailers through the rand jury and it may be that we shall have to emulate their example in Om ha. To subject the people of this city to systematic defamation that invades the family circle, incites violence and sooner or . is liable to result in a bloody traged PROPUSED NEW STATES. Bills have boon introduced in congress to confer statahood on the territories of New Mexico, Utah and Oklahoma, and doubtless Arizoun will va like con- sidaration. What the ch are for the admission of any of thesa territories by the prosent congress cannot now be determined, but it will be interesting to consider what claims they pr for statehood. I'he cannot be vio indecent 1it- the law the sale of orners by news its sule to minors 50 ba re- nces sont last census gave Now Moxico a population ot 153,000, and it is doubtless somewhat larger now. The last report of the governor made a very good show- ing in regard to material development. The ageicultural interest is growing, the mining industry is in and in othor respocts the torritory is vealiz- inga steady progress. But tho objec- tion remains that ths population is largely made up of people essentially alien in their charnctor and sympathies, and if it bo admitted that tho resources are suflicient to maintain a state govern- ment there is still the question whether the people as a whole could safoly bo left to govern themseives. A constitu- tion submitted to them in 1890 which was defented by a large majority, and although the governor explains that this was due to party differences, and was not the result of a disinclina- tion to assume the condition of stuto- hood, still it was an unfavorable indica- tion ot pooular sentiment in the matter for which the alien element of the popu- lation was doubtless mainly responsible, {ntil this element shail hecome so small % minority as to be incapible of mischief the expediency of conferving statehood on New Mexico will be questionable. Utah’s population, by the consus of , was close to 208,000, ané the gov- ernor’s veport for 1891 placal it at nearly 211,000. The assessed value of property, real and personal, in 18)1 was in round numbors $121,000,000. Bota as to population and resourcas Utih hasan unquestionable claim to statehood, and the only obsticle in the way of attain- ing it is the political influsnce still ex- isod by the Mormoa church. This, however, is stoadily de-lining, and thers is overy reason to expoct that within the next year or two those who ave con- trolled in their political action by the church will be ina minority. [ndeed there is now no distinctively Mormon party, that organizition having dis- banded previous to the last election for the legislative assembly, muny of its members uniting with the republican and democratic parties, While this has been regarded as a ruse of the church leaders in the intersit of statohood, and the Utah commission inclined to this sing, wis or He | view, the governor and others in a fa- vorabla position to juldge hive ex- pressod the opinion that it was done in good faith. The growth of Oklauhoma, the young- est of the territories and the smallest in aren, has been phenomenal. The iast veport of the governor estimated the population to be 80,000, and this is probubly not far out of the way. Great progress has been made in agricultural development, and the paople of the ter- tory are of the most enterprising character. But Oxlahoma can wait a few yeuvs for statehood without injury to its material weifare. Arizona has n population of 60,000 and 70,000, and- us nearly all of the public lands of the torritory are avid, the advance in population is cor- tain to be slow. Thore are large unde- veloped resources, but under presont conditions it is questionable whether a state government could be properly maintained. [t thus appears that Utah alone is able to prasent an entively satisfactory claim, s0 far as population and developed re- sources are concerned, to statehood, and there is really no valid reason against the admission of that tertitory. hotween Tue Fifth Ward Taxpayers’ club oh- jeets to the proposed sale and lease of the Board of Trade buildieg. What have the taxpayers of the Rifth ward to do with the Board of Trade building? Why didn’t they protest azainst the sale and lease of the Millard hatel. They had just as much right to object to the weansfer of the hotel property as they have to any other proverty in whic they have no share, and for which they are not taxed, We do not contend that the proposed siule of the Board of Trade building is or is not proper. It is purely a question for the members of the board who ure shareholders in the building to determine. A sale and loasing buck will put the Chamber of Comm wheels, and that is all that any outsiae taxpayer could possibly be interested in, — THE fisted farmers of the State Board of Agriculture ure delfghted with the beet sugar school, and they want now u dairy school and appropriations for farmers institutes, Why would it not be wise for the State Board of Agri culture to expend part of -its surpius in of not ce on incrensing e State Board of Transpoptation admitted, Ll might 1o s 1t very but i nto the milting in transit rates is an institut to th full i of consequenc its stat throw weight seales in favor ¢ 1o ho soem 1 studied effort on f the the sinl o Qnly finan artment A motive of th xpladn the cali upon the sec retary of thostreasury for an explana- Hon of il eckyesd rogurding the 44 por cent bonds, a part of which were con- tinuod st a yeduced rate of interest The secretary ds asked whether thore was sufficient meney in the treasury to pay the bonds when due, and, if so®ipon what authority he continued any of them. Secratgey Foster repeatedly stated that he could pay the bonds and ho fully explaiged in his annual papor why he did npt do sa, It was to avoid a serfous disturbynes of the finances of the country at a time when its resources v taxed by the movement of agricultural products, In the desire to avoid monetary disturbance during this critieal period, says the socretary in his report, and in the hope that the volume ‘of money in circulation might bo in- cronsed at an opportune time, through the co-operation of the banks, the hold- ers of the bonds were offered their choice of presenting them for redemp- tion or for continuance at the pleasure of the government at a less rate of in- torest. This was manifestly justified by tho financial conditions then existing, and the authority for it is in the terms of the act under which the bonds wero issued. It also had the support of pro- cedent, Socretary Windom having in 1881 continued the 5 per cent bonds without any quustion s to the legality of his action. It is not to be doubted that Secretary [Foster will give the house the information it asks for with entire satisfaction to the country, if not to the majority of that body. aro sever MILLING in transit rates can be secured for Omaha whea the railroads of the stato demand the concession from their oastern connections. This talk about the question being one of inter- state transportation and therefore diffi- cult of solution is insufferable rot. When the B. & M. in Nobraska wants a con- cession from the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, it has no difficulty in secu ing it. When the Union Pacific demands ny reasonuble favor from the North- wostorn the latter road is not at all likoly to ignore that demand. If the local roads will do their part the mill- ing in transit ratos will be immediately agreed to. MR KIRKENDALL'S proposition tosub- seribe $150 in cash and to purchaso fiity tickets to the international drill is a practical and commendable method not, only of raising the necessary guarantee, but of enlisting the interest of people outside of Omsha in the meeting, as it is lis purpose to send the admission tickets to patrons of bis firm in the wes DR.
