The bill has pussed the senate, and as Sena- ter Pettigrew is backing it with his usual vigor the Black Hills metropolis can feel reasonably cortain of its pas- sage. When Pettigrew reuches out toward the treasury even the chairman of the house commitiee on approprin- tions throws up his hands in dismay and forgets to object. A BostoN democrat has been looking at the prospect of war with Chili through Objector Holman's spectacles and reaches the conclusion that it would o8t $2,000,000 at the very first clash of arms. The Boston democrat should remember that the chase and capture of the Ttata cost $2,000,000 and last winter’s Sioux campaign probably four times that sum. A war with Chili in these days of dynamite bombs and tremendous guns would be cheap at $30,000,000, A surris to be brought by the gov- srnment ugainst the venerable (ieneral and ex-Speuker Bavks for the rocovery of $4,000 lost during his term us United States marshal you 1t is almost eruel to harass the old man in his de- clining years with this suit.

'8 0G0, THE republicans of the Ohio legisla- ture propose to inquire iato the legulity of the election of United States Senator Brico of that state. Tho question in- volved is whether Mr, Brice is a resi- dent 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 cavries on business there. He was enumerated in the census as a resident of New Yor! Ho also hns u home and other property in Ohio, but for several years hus re- sided very little of the time in that state, the greater part of his living there since he had a home in New York being during his contest for the senator- ship. The republicans of the Ohio leg islature believe it can be shown that when he was elected to the senate he was properly a citizen of the state of Now York, and therefore cannot repre- sent Ohjo in the senate. It presents a quite intevesting question, upon which the United States senate may be asked to pass judgment. Meanwhile Mr. Brice is ocoupying his seat in the senate and Yaying vlans in conjunction with Mr. Hill and Me. Gormun for the future of | most part compose the .

The annual moeting of the bankers, imploment dealors, lnwyers, politicians farmers, who for tho Stato Board of Agriculture, is over, and, as usual, the members have re-elected themselves or their immediate friends for yoar. ‘Ten thousand dollars has checrfully voted for increasing the in- terest of gamblers io the speed ring and 22,000 for premiums for ecounty collec- tive exhibits of agricultural products, In this connection it of interest to observe that among the members of the bonrd elected for tho next two yenrs the following are patrons of husbandry: L. A. Kent, banker, Mictden; J. D. McFar- land, B. & M. capitalist, Lincoln: Cap- tain J. M. Lee, farmer politician, Ox- ford; M. Barker, political farmer, Silver Creek; Jo. B, McDowell, farmer politician, Fairbury; R R. Gr , political farmer, Kearney; M. L. Hayward, lawyer, Nebraska City; J. R, Cantlan, agricultural implement dealer, North Bend; W. D. Wildman, politi- cian, Culbertson; and five real farmers not so well known. - Among the hold- over members and county presidentsare J. 0. Jensen, banker, Geneva; Frank H farmer, Broken Bow: banker, Fairbury; J. B. Sutton; W. O, South- W. Dolan, Dunham, und kid-gloved been . J. Betts, Dinsmore, banker. wick, grain dealer, Friend banlkd Iudianola, and apitalist, Omaha. People must not ba surprised at find- ing many familiar names on this board. One of its objects, as before re- marked in these columns, is to perpetu- ate itsolf and promote the interests of its members, Agricultural development is a secondary consideration. MR MILLS IN THE RAD Congressmun Roger Q. Mills has done what he was expected to do. He has notified the speaker of the house that he will not serve as chairmun of the committee on intervstate 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 Mr. Mills has bean chaivman of the leading committee of the house, thit of ways and means, and having declined the second place on that committes in this congress it was obviously unreasonable to suppose thut he would accept a posi- tion deemed to be inferior, The speaker doubtless did the bast ha could in the circumstances to give the Texas stites- man prominence among the committeo chairmanships, but his effort is not ap- preciated. Mr. Mills profers to be in the ranks, where he will be under no obligations to Speaker Crisp and his immediate fisals anl cwn mike mat- ters s intoresting for them as opportu- nity and his peculiar tempsramant may suggest. Mr. Mills vesizned hig chairmnship after due deliberation, acd taken in con- nection with his recent utterances the action cannot ba regarded as having no significance, Ho hus very recently in dicated that he is not in favor of giving the country taviff ision in install- ments, as Me. Springer propases shall be done. He belioves it to be the duty of the democrats in the house to make o guenaral revision of the tavifl, regardless of the question whether a meisave of this kind would pass the senute. M. Mills does not think it good policy for the democracy to temporize ov emplo; makeshifts in this matter, and he evi dently intonds not to be a varty to such a policy. It is thevefore to be presumed that when the proper time comes Mr. Mills will declare himself in this matter 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 regarding which Mr, Mills 18 not in sympathy with the dominant element of his party in the house. He thinks the democracy should for the preseut drop the question of the free coinage of silver, while the coin- agoe committeo is alveady practically com- witted in favor of reporting a free coinage measure. On this subject it is to be ex- vected that Mreo Mills will also have somothing positive to say at the right time. In short, the M. chiel KS, re 'exas 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 be handicapped as the vecipient of any consideration from the element that compussed his defeut for the spenier- ship. NHOEMAKER SHOULD BE SUSTAINED, y respectable and law-abiding citizen of Omahn will concede that the offorts of ex-Assistant City Attorney Shoemaker to enforco the laws-and ordinances against the sale of obscene papers 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 suppression of filthy papers that thrive on scandal and pander to the depraved appstite of peo- ple for highty-colored and sensational veports of the doiugs of the hrothel, as- signation house and wine room. When the agents and correspondents of such dirty sheets make it a practice to levy biackmail upon men and women by threatening them with exposure of some indiscretion they or their relatives may have committed or have been sus- pected of, nud when these wretches ped- dle out libelous stories and hold them ns clubs over the heads of public officials churged with enforcing the laws, it is incumbent upon the community to back the officials and demand that they do thoir whole duty regardloss of conse- quences, The Omaha representative of a nasty publication impudently bousts that his sheet does not cluim to be respectable, but urges that “'it is logal and contains far superior matter to that found in the Police (fuzette nnd Po News.” He further declaves that ““there is no erime committed except when the paper is sold to minors.” A mun who appe ounds for public sympathy has o vory low standaed of morals. The Polie Guazette and Police News may ba inferio to the Kunsas City shoot in point of aig- ging up sulucious stories that have long of s on such passed from the memori wen.

Bills have baen introduced in con, to confer statehood on the territories of New Moxico, Utah and Oklahoma, and doubtless Arizoua will receive like con- What the chances are for the admission of any of thesa territories by the present congress eannot bo determined, but it will be interesting to consider what claims they present for statehood. The last census gave Now Moxico a population ot 153,000, and it is doubtless ewhat larger now. The last report of the governor made a very good show - ing in regard to material development. The ageicultural interest is the mining industry is increasing, and in othor respacts the toerritory is realiz- inga steady progress. But tho objec- tion remains that tho population is largoly made upof poople essentially alien in their charnctor and sympathies, and if it be 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 o left to govern themselves, A constitu- tion was submitted to them in 1890 which was defented by a large majority, and although the gove explains that this was due to party differences, and was not the rvesult of a disinclina- tion to assumo the condition of hood, still it was an unfavorable indica- tion ot popular sentiment in the matter for which the alien element of the popu- lation was doubtless mainly responsible. Until this element shall become so small # minority as to be incapable of mischief the expediency of conferring statehood on New Mexico will be questionable. Utah’s population, by the cousus of 1890, was close to 208,000, ané the gov- veport for 1801 placal it at nearly 211,000. The assessed value of broperty, real and personal, in 181 was in round numbors $121,000,000. Bota as to population and resoureas Utih hasan unquestionable claim to statehood, and the only obstiwle in the way of attain- ing it is the political influsnce still ex- orcised by the Mormoa church. This, however, is stoadily de-lining, and thers is every reason to expect that within the next year or two those who ave con- trolled in their political action by the chureh will be ina minority. [ndeed there is now no distinctively Mormon party, that organization having dis- banded previous to the last eloction for the logislative assombly, many of its members wiiting with the republican and democratic parties. While this has been regarded as a ruse of the church leaders in the interest of statonood, and the Utah commission inclined to this view, the governor and others in a fa- vorable position to judge hive ex- pressed the opinion that it was done in good faith. The growth of Oklahoma, 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 probably not far out of the way. CGreat progress has been mude in agricultural development, and the people of the ter- ritory are of the most enterprising character. But Oxlshoma can wait u few years for statehood without injury to its material weifare, Arizona has a population of hotween 60,000 and 70,000, and. s nearly all of the public lands of the territory are avid, the advance in population is cer- tain to be slow. Thare are large unde- veloped but under presont conditions it is questionable whether a state government could be properly maintained. It thus appears that Utah alone is able to prasent an entively salisfactory claim, s0 far as population and developed ro- sources ave concerned, to statehood, and there is really no valid reason against the admission of that tertitory. 088 sideration, now growing, nor stato- ernor’s resources, Tue Fifth Ward Taxpayers’ club oh- jects to the proposed sale and lease of the Board of Trade buildieg. What have the taxpayers of the Fifth ward to do with the Board of Trade building? Why didn’t they protest azainst thoe sale and leuse of the Millard hotel. They had just as much right to object to the teansfer of the hotel property as they have to any other proverty in which they have no share, and for which they are not taxed, Wae do not contend that the proposed siulo 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 bullding to determine. A sale and leasing back will not put the Chamber of Commerce on wheels, and that is all that any outside taxpayer could possibly be interested in.

This was manifestly justified by the financial conditions then existing, and the authority for it is in the terms of the act under which the bonds wero isst It also had the support of pre- cedent, Socretary Windom having in 1881 continued the 5 per cent honds without any question as to the legality of his action. It i3 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. MILLING transit rates can be secured for Omaha whea the railroads of the state demand the concession from their connections. This talk about the question being one of inter- state transportation and thereiore diffi- cult of solution is insufferable rot. When the B. & M. in Nebraska wants a con- cession from the Chicago, Burlington & it has no difficulty in secu in n the Union Pacific demands ny reasonable favor from the North- western the latter road is not at all likely to ignors that demand. If the local roads will do their part the mill- ing in transit rates will be immediately agreed to. in oastern 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 Omyha in the meeting, as it is his purpose to send the admission tickets to patrons of bis firm in the west.

New York Sun; War with any power, big or little, means a national calan.ity, which heaven grant may not come upon us, It is the letting of good blood, the loss of valuable lives, tho long sorrow of many hearts.

The Body Followed to the Gr of Notables, Loxvoy, Jan. 21 —The funoral services over the remains of Cardinal Manning were told in tho Brompton oratory today. So denso was tho crowd and so thick was the fog that teafic {n the viciity of the oratory was brought to a standstill Wh the solomn mass requiem was sung tho oratory was filled with notable personages, repro- senting the church, tho stato and all political parties, All the ambassadors of foreign powers were present ulso, Bishop Hedley preached the funeral sermon, in which he highly eulogized tho dead 'preiate. The throughout the service was spleadidly v by n Host At the conclusion of tho service tho clergy precaded tho body 10 the hoarse 1 waiting, ‘The body was takon to Keusal (ireon como- tery, whoro it was interred, aud was fol- lowed by over 300 carriages containing many notabls people, after which marched a largo number of workingmen's socictios Iu some respects tho coremonles at tho funeral of Cardioal Manning wore more improssivo than thoso _yoster day at St George's chapel, Windsor castle, upon the occasion of the funeral of tho duko of Clarence, Today the servicos wero invested with all the grandeur of the Roman ritual and were attendod by all tho pomp betitting the last ceramony over the body of a princo of the church. Iifteen pre lates attended the funeral, including Most Rov. William J. Walsn, archbishop of Dub lin, and_Most Rov. Thomas W, Cro bishop of Casbel and the dioceso of Emiy The somberness of the black drapinges wero hoightened by thoe black fog, and it appeared as though nature mourned the loss of one so 2ood and great. Hundrads of wax tapers and gas jots sned their light on the solemn scenc, and during cortain portions of tho service the clergy and the sisters in attend ance lighted adaitional tapors on either side of tho sanctuary. The whole sceno was ultogether a most striking and impressive oue, and this was especially the case when marching two by two, entercd atory from behind the funeral hangings under tho dome. The bishops who led the procession wore their mitres and wore richly robed. ‘T'here were present, also, ropresent atives of tho Benodictimes, Franciscans Carmelites, Dominicans and other veligious orders, attired in their differont garbs, each carrying an unlighted tapor. Inormous crowds followed the cortego from the oratory to tho ecmetery. Special stauds haa been erected at intervals along the route. aud these were filled with spectu tors. Tho whole rogte from the oratory to the cemetory was lined with people, who reverently bared their heads as tho hearso containing the remains passed slowly by them. - FLOUR MARKET.

The production was 175,145 barrels—averaging barrels daily — against 178,870 barrels for the provious weel, 115.600 Larrels for the corresponding time i 1801, aud 118,040 barrels in 1890, Thero has been a material chango in the oporauve situ- ation on_tha falls sinco last weels, and tho output this week wilt be neavily' reduced Three mills of ono large compuny, represent ing a daily product of ozer 4 lave been shut down, for tho on aceount of poor markets. Tho present output is probably not ove ,000 barrels, and it is doubtful if the aver- age six days of this weok will reach that figure. Thoextrome cold weather of the past ok has roduced the supply of water to tho minimuw, and only four mils—two smail and two large ones— aro trying to use it for power at all; Thero been rather an improved de flour during the week ending Wednesduy, Most milhieg firms report enough fresh salos to absorb the greater part of their product for tha samo time. The bost business has come from domestio markets, there having beon too frao buying of patents on upturns of the wheat markot. A fow var ties report a moderate trade, but the groater numvor complain that bids are so low that they cannot be accepted. Cables camo in freely Tuesday and Wednesday showiug & sbarp interest, but they were usually t00 low to accept. Bakers' and low grades aro still hard to move and are bewg more or less consigned. Pricos at Minueapolis have shrunken somo during the weok, though higher wheat 10 tho past two days has made millers disposed to ask for an advance. Bakers' and low grades for export are offered at avout | shilling loss than & week ago. Direct oxports of flour for the week wero 180 barrels against 73,500 barrels the pro- ceding woek.
