When the suggestion reaches Boston, that seat of culture will gnash ite teeth with rago at the assurance of the rowdy west. Young Mr. Russell’s friends will not permit him to play second fiddle in a free silver orchestra. THE president of the New York Life Insurance company makes a very ex- haustive exhibit of the affairs of his company, which cannot fail to reassure its policy holders. Taere is much in- teresting information embedaed in I ident Beers’ statement, covering the company’s western investments, on which we shall comment fully at an early da THERE i8 more nonsense than genuine humor in the resolution passed by the Board of Edueation ealling upon the city council for a statement of the ex penditures of the munlcipality for sul- aries of oflicers. The city council will pay no attention to the resolution, but it will insist as it should upon a showing of the details of the expenditures pro- posed by the board for which a 2-mill lovy is required. ACCORDING to the World-Herald Governor Boyd has had a very narrow escape from being, in chess player’s parlance, stale-mated. If, says this eminent legal expounder, the attorneys of Thayer had followed the custom in tho proparation of dewmurrers to pati- tions and denied everything, then the cotrt might have stood 4 to 4 and Boyd would have remained suspended like Mahomot’s coffin, This is an opinion as is an opinion. —_— WHEN Governor Boyd was ousted from his oMice many of the men who are now jubilating over his victor pressed neither sympathy nor his summary takiog off. ‘This is human aature. When a man is prosperous and successful everyhody is his friend. When a man is down his false friends turn their backs upon him and express 10 sywpathy for his misfortunes, If you want to know who your real friends are you must experionce real adversity. — THE report of the national treasury for Janaary does not show any very ma- terial changes from the condition at tho close of the previous month, but there was a loss instead of a gain in the cash balance, which is a change in the wrong direction under existing circumstances. The loss was only a little over $3,000,000, which would have attracted no attention a year ago but now seems large. The cash balance is now reduced to $131,000,- 000, of which $100,000,000 is the gold roserve held for the redemption of greenbacks gnd a considerable part of the balance is in subsidiary silver. Itis thus seen that the available resources of the treasury are brought down to a pretty low point, and if the cash bal- ance continues to decline congress muy 8000 be compelled to provide some extra- ordinary means to enable the troasur, 10 weet its obligations. ex- ols at WATCH THE GREAT SUNFLOWER Hooray for Boyd! Woe did it with our extral Lot us dyed-in-the-wool demo- crats rejolco over our glorious victory! Bless the Lord for the righteous judg- ment of the suprema court! Let worship tha great luminary from sun- rise to sunset and ue dine and wine him and sing him to sleep! To be sure Inst s our active sympathy was with Powers in the contest, but that was only a by-play which drew $1,200 out of the state trensury for tafly and pufls of the independent veformers in the legisla- ture. Confidently speaking, we thought Boyd was a dead duck when the legisla ture adjourned and the supreme court turned him out to grasa. The king is dead-~long live the king! If you know anybody who can turn a corner any quic than the acrobat of the W.-H., please send in his name, and we will put him on the list with the editors who are now contesting for the $10 prize for naming the What-is-it column of our great fake factory. O, be joyful! Was there ever such luck? If Mr. Boyd doesn’t appreciate our heart- felt sympathy he must be a blockhead as, confidentinlly speaking, we aiways thought he was. Wiil he accopt that banquet? That's the question, and if we got up that monstrous mnss meeting, will he reciproeate this compliment by letting the W.-/. name the new police us or commission and make sure that the saloonkeepers will have to advertiso in it? Really, this is perploxing, but the W.-I1. has never been distanced as a po- litical sunflower. — THE INHARMONTOU DEMOCRACY, The fight that is being waged in the house of representatives over the pro- posed new rules strikingly illustrates the disaffection that exists in the demo- wtic ranks. The framed with great deliberation, some delay in reporting them being due to the illness of the spenker, and it was assumed by the dominant element in the house that they would be adopted without much opposition, except, perhaps, from the minority. But objection to them has been quite as marked from demo- crats as from republicans, The discus: sion has now been in progress about a rules were week, and the record shows more and | fiejont supply of domestic ore. Few en— sharpor domocratic eriticism than has | gorprises in the industrinl history of omo from the republicans. One of the | 7 rules against which this ceciticism has been directed is that giving the com- | mittee on rules extraordinary privileges. This was obviously made with a view to strengthening the power of the speaker and it has been vigorously opposed by democrats who ave not of Mr. Crisp’s action. It is worthy of remark that this rule, reported by a democratic committee, is essentially the same as that of the Fifty first congress, aguinst which every democrat in that congress persistently protested. It isat least interesting to find the dominant element of the party 1n control of the present house of repre- sentatives taking a rule of a republican house in order to grotect itself against the less numerous element of its party Another rule which has caused demo- cratic dissension is the one giving on- larged powers to the committee on ap- propriations. The chairman of that committee, Mr. Holman, would have been very glad to have had all appro priations proceed from his committee, buv vealizing that this could not be ac- complished he has endc¢hvored to extend the authority cf the committee over ap- proprintions, The plan has met with vigorous democratic resistunce. A curi- ous incident of this discussion of the rules was the advocacy by a democratic vepresentative from New York of the rule of the Fifty-first congress which- allowed the spenker to count a _quorum when members were present and would not vote. Regarding the tariff theve is still want of harmony among the democrats of the house. Although the committee on ways and means decided to follow, as a policy, the plan of atticking the tariff act by separate bills, itis by no means rtain that this aetion will be acquiesced in by all the democrats of the hous Indeed it is highly probable that it will not be. Three of the ten democratic members of the ways and means commit- tee voted against the plan, believing it to be the duty und policy of the party to bring in a bill for & general revision of the tariff, and there is a large number of democrats in the house who may not boe persunded that any other cqurse would be wise or in the interest of the party. On the question of free silver coinage, also, the disaffection appears to be as great now as at uny time since congress met. In addition to these causes of conflict and dissension in the democratic ranks is the acrimonious struggle, apparently growing more bitter every day, betweon the Cleveluind and anti-Cleveland forces, and when all ure considered the outlook for the democracy this year appears to be far from hopeful, A leading demo- ceatic paper of the south has recently suid that unless there is a very radical change in the situation that section will not be solid for the democratic candi- date next November, AL ESTAT OWNERS ASSOCIATION The exhibit of the first nine months © work of the Real Estate Owners association is very ereditublo nud grat- ifying. Organized upon an original plun and having in view among other things the uprooting bf corruntion and extrava- gance in the administration of the local government the associntion has steadily maintained itself and contributed in no smull measure to the reforms that are being inaugurated in our municipal af- faivs, The association has also made itself a factor in the business world of Omaha, It has assisted in entertaining dis- tinguished visitors and stimulated many enterprises for- the benetit of the city. The interstate drill was sesuved by its aid, and the association did its whole duty in the cowmpaign for the national convention, During its existence the gross receipts have been but $3,448,68; the expendi- tures $2,263.68, leaving a net balance for the beginning of the new year of #1,184.96. With such limited capital at its disposal the piation has cers tainly been munuged with commendable economy. Its officers and directors have given their timo to the work charge. They deserve wore encour I without | THE mont. The trensury should contain funds sufficiont for emergencies at all times, The association does notanticipato giv- ing bonuses to securo the location of mills and factories. Tt desires only to be in | position to presont information to insti- | tutions secking locations and to enter- | tain distinguished visitors who will ad- | se or otherwise benefit the city. The importance of maintaining this | association cannot well be overestimated at this time. The Board of Trade will become w grain and provision dealers exchange eventually if the efforts to muke Omahaa grain market are sue- cessful and this association will natur- ally fall heir to the important public duties hitherto undertaken by the bos It has demonstrated its value to Omahn by nine months of useful endenvor. Lot our citizens show their appreciation by extending & more cordial support. THE TIN PLATE INDUSTRY. Not much has been heard recently re- gurding the tin industry in the United States, but none the less there are facts showing that it is making steady pro- ver gress. A correspondent of un eastern paper reports a visit he made toa tin | factory in Elwood, Ind., the plant of | which cost a million dollars, most of which * was invested by Welshmen who manage the works. This factory is turning out bright tin and the superin- tondent said that by May he expected to produce 2500 boxes of American tin plate o day. Other plants that aro turn- ing out bright tin are located at Dem- ler, Pa., Cleveland, O., Apollo Anderson, Ind., St. Louis, and Brooklyn, N. Y., and the reported aggregate pro- duction of these establishments is about 5,000 boxes per week, This is evidence of remarkable progress and itis to be observed that it is evidence which no one ventures to deny. Of course, ail the ore required in making this tin is not obtained in the United States. The de- velopment of the mines is much slower than the growth of the manufacturing industry, and very likely will continue to be. But block tin is imported free of duty from the straits of Malacea, so that the progress of the tin industry need not be retarded in consequence of the inability of manufacturers to get a suf- | this country bad such a rapid growth as the tin industry has made and thus far it has fully justified the promise to its promoters, while the outlook secms to be in the highest degree favorable. IMPROVED POSTAL FACILITIES. The present admivistration of the Postoflice department has already made an exceptional record for practical re- forms and improvements, but it is still reaching out in the divection of progress and seeking means to increase the valuo of the postal service to the public. It is announced that the postmaster general isconsidering a plan that will make an extraordinavy draft upon the mechanical resources of the lending railway com- pauies of the country, but which, if it can be ied out, will greatly expedite mail s ce between the east and west. The management of the New York Central system has submitted to the department a proposition to run a mail teain daily from New York to Chicago, making the distance in eighteen hours. I'his would reduce the present time some eight hours, and such a train, leaving the eastern metropolis at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, would reach the western metropolis at 10 o’clock the next morning, or at the opening of business, In order to accomplish this it wouid bo necessary to maintain a speed of about, fifty-two miles an hour, and it has been demonstrated that such high rate of speed is entirely practicable. For nearly three months n train has been running daily petween New York city and Buf- fulo, a distance of over 400 miles, in less than eight hours, and 1f this train should be continued to Chicago at the same rate of speed it would reach that city inabout sixteen hours, Thus a passonger loav- ing New York at 8in the morning would { arrive in Chicago at about midnight of the same day. 1t is understood to be the intention of the New York Central man- agement to extend this service in the near future, but in the meanwhile it will experiment with a mail train, if its prop- osition to the Postoffice department shall be accepted. In case it is, a similar arcangement will undoubtedly be mude for western mail from Philadelphia, The advantages of such an arrange- ment will bo obvious to business men, and they will not be confined to the citios between which it is now proposed to run fast mail trains. If six or eight hours can be saved between New York and Chicago the Postoflice department will doubtless make arrangements by which mail from the east for cities west of Chicugo can be forwarded in less time than at present. All the commerciul centers of the west and northwest would certainly shave in the henefits of this fastor mail service. There appeirs good reason to expect that this improve- ment wiil go into effect in the near future, and that the arrangements will be such as to make it permanent.

TRADING HORSES WITH THE CZAR. Senator Stanford Mikes u Russian Deal peror. with the Nuw Yonrg, Pob. 2.—A Washington corre- spondent talegraphs that Senator Stanford of California has rocently received a com- munication from the czar stating that he would be giad to exchange a few high-bred Orloff stallions for an equal uuwmver of standard-bred American mares, The pro- position came from the czar's master horses through the Russian consul general at New York. Mr. Stanford says he will be glad to make the exchange. He furth said: “I was greatly struck with the Orloff horses when I was in Russia two years ago, ‘They were large, good trotters aud travel woll. They average sixteen to sixteen and a quarter bands, They are speedy and ca travelas arulo & milo in threo minutes, The breed runs very even, and for that ! son 1 would likoto mix them with the Standard. " “Will thoy compare with the American horses in poipt of speed ! “No," said the California senator, with an accent of pardonable pride, “there are no horsos in the worla to compare with ours Theso Orioffs, towover, are possessed of very speedy qualities. 1'saw one harnessed to a heavy cart on a race track at St. Peters burg trot'a mil in 2:80," “Will you ship your mares to St. Peters Notuntil [ voturn to California, which will probably be ia Juno. The Russian con sul general requested that I should seiect the fillica myself." ‘What aged horses czar!" L heven't fully decided,but T think 4-year- olds will about meot the requirements. They are to bo used for breeding vpurposes, anc b will you send the that I should regard as the most suitable age." “When will the Orloffs arrive™ 0 not expect them until after I ha shipned mv fillies to St. Potersburg. 1 don't know what the czar’s master of horses in tends doing with the mares. It is possible he may desiro to mix the broed or that he may wish to raise standurd-bred Americsn trotters, As far as I am porsonally concerned, lobject as a genoral rule to mixing the broed. kshall probably send for some Orloft mares after mine arrivo, and seo what I can do with them in this country. Iam also, Just as a matter of experiment, goig 1o crost them, though not to auy great extent.” - - WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN. Need of More Molsture—¢ Favorable Conditions Report Wasmingtos, D, €., Fob. 2.—The weokly crop bullotin issued by the weather bureau says: in the contral valleys, inciuding the greater portion of the wheat region east of tho Mississippi, the precipitation for the month was onty about half the usualamount, but was largely snow. In thespring wheat states and in the Da. kotas the snow fall was very light and much less than usual, St. Paul and Moorhead, Minn,, reporting a total absence of procipita- tion In the Pacific const the precipitation amounted to only about half to two-thirds the usual quatity for January. Although the groater portion of the wintor whent section was covored with snow during the severest coid of the months fhoe snow dis’ appeared ana only remains on the ground generally throughout the lake region in the northern portions of New Enaland, the mid- dle Atlantic states and in Ohio and ‘at Rocky mountain stations, Owing to the protection given by the snow in the winter wheat belt duriug the severa cold of the month, the indications are tha tho weather has been favorable, although tho month closes with a cold wave which will expose the crop uncovered to freczing temperature within tho next fow duys. Ou the Pacitic coast tho weather has been favorable, but crops aro 1 noed of rain which, however, is wenerally reported this morning at the coast stations. Crops 2o Omunha's Possessions., Omamy, Feb. 2.—To the Editor of Tun Bri: Inyour Sunday issue you render the city a great service in placing before your readers 8o fully the facts regarding the lands that the Union Pacific claims to own, but which are, in fact, the property of the city. In addition to what is said in that article upon the subject of the statute of limitations ir afirming that the statute does nov run agaiust a municipality, I desire to say the statute of limitations is set in motion only where the real estato is neld by the party claiming it undor the statute by a possession that is ‘“actual, adverse, hostilo and ox- clusive.” In respect of the eighty acres of now-mado land and much of the othier, the alleged pos- session of the railroad has boeu no more “actu- al orexclusive’'than that of the city. Indeod, it has been noither actual nor exclusive, It has never been fenced, for instance. 7'he possession of tho vacavt land has been con structive only, and such possession has boen, by impatation of law, in the real owner, the city. To uone of the land or lots e scribed in the aeeds in question has tho possession been “adverse” or *hostile’ (or such as would grow into ownership) —if w make the possiblo exception of tho watc works block—for the very good and abso lutely conclusive reason that the Union I cific has bold under the titles given it by the city, and in mmity with that title, and not adversely or in hostility to that title, This being 50, as far as the' lands held under the deeds containing conditions and reversionary provisions are_concerned, the length of pos session of the Union Pacific counts for noth- ing. If continued for a thousund years tne possession would not grow 1nto vivnership, becauso it is not adverse or hostilo to tho city's title. The party claiming under the statuto must sirow actual, continued, hostile, naverso and exclusivo possession’ for ten years. Applying these tests there Is scarcely room to doubt tie city's claims. As faras the new made latd is concerned, probably all the city has to do is to take possession. Your, etc, Jonx D. How. e Rates for the People's Convention.
