TEVENSON Two LIES about McKinley are eircu- lating in the east, one that he has re- ‘ceived 8350 for every campaign speech and the other that in Omaha he ad- mitted that the consumer pays the tarifl. Both- of these stovies are without a shadow of foundation THERE is a disposition among Omaha eapitalists to keep their money in bank vaults and discournge any enterprise that doeg 16t assure a big profit from the start. This policy is suicidal. Omaha cannot stand still. She will sither grow or decline. AND now we observe that the gold teain has arvived first in Chicago snd then in New York with only $20,000,000 on board. Now, we want to know what has became of that $40,000,000 more which the train had when it reached Omaha. We didn’t get it. WE ARE told that the soot will disap- pear from the city hall vaults as soon as the air fans are inoperation. If the same speed is used in their arrange- ment which has distinguished the other equipments of the building, we may ex- pect air fans about January 1, 1894. — A CAMPAIGN orator of the people’s party in Georgia is veported as saying that “‘the time will come when a poor man can stick a postage stamp on a mule and ship it from Georgia to Texas.” ‘When that time does come there will be fino facilities for the colonization of voters by the people’s party. THIEVES are carrying on a prosper- ous business in lead pipe and plumbers’ fittings stolen from vacant houses and the houses of peoplo temporarily absont from home.

THE celebration of German day at Omaha October 6, will be an unusually Iargo ono this year, This 1s the groat anniversary of the landing of the first German ship in this country, and it is only fitting that the German-Ameri- cans, one of the very best classes of cit- izons, should obsorve it with appr priate ceremonies, —_— Towa farmers and business men are wise in enthusiastically selecting dele- gutes to the good rouds convention to meet in Des Moines on the 17th and 18th of this month. It is vary probabloe that the ‘outcome of this meeting will be wore sensible legislation and methods in regnrd 10 road building and road supervision. Nebraska ought to hold Jjust such a convention, THERE is no good reason why Pros- pect Hill cemeotery should not be ex- tended to the dimensions of the originul plat. he strip that would be added is not much wider than a boulevard on two sides of the cemotery, which would by this addition acquire u strairht line boundary, whereas at present it is ir regular. It is scurcely conceivable that Prospect Hill cometery will ever be dis- turbed. Properly cared for it is as sightly as a purk. There are cemeteries in the very heart of some of the lurgest cities ip this country. There are two cemetories in New York on Broadwa, One of these is udjucent to tho Astor house, and the other opposite Wall street, The frontage of these come- teries on Broadway would sell for at lenst 85,000 » foot, and yet they have been permivted to rewain undisturbed for more thun a gentury, \TE DA VK Hon. Charles Foster, ecretary of the ! 4 trousury, opened the repuclican cam- paign in Ohioafew days ago with a most instructive speech on tho finances of the country. The secrotary stated the outset that his address would b largely historical and free from part anship, and as far siblo was observed. some referance to demo- cratiq financial projects being unavoid- able. The vroposal of the demoeratic party, in its national platform, to repeal the tax on state bank issues niturally re- ceived a liberal share of atteation [rom Secretary Foster. After tracing the currency of the American colonies and the Continental congress, nnd sketching the various forms of the circuluting medium prior to 1860, he discussed at length the war circulation. The per pita. ranged from #5.27 in 1800 to 816,51 in 1857, It was $14.06 in 1860. In the panics of 1837-and 1857 the derange ment of the paper currency was the im- portant factor. The system of issuing bank notes was radically changed by the bank act of 18 The notes issued by state banks were not uniform 1n value even at home, while very v banks were 50 widely known as to give curroncy at par to their notes at any considerable distance from the place of issue. A traveler passing from one state to an other, said Sccretary Foster, or even between distant points in the sume state, was compelled to provide himseif with coin if he would avoid the vexation and loss incident to his condition. An extensive and profitable usinoss, known as note shaving, grew out of this state of the currency, und the loss usually fell upon those least ablo vo bear it. This condition was especially bad in times of panic, for then the suspension of spacie piyments by the banks still further impaired the value of all bank notes, and in many instances comnletely destroyed it. There is no doubt, said the sceretary, that the vaviable values of bank cireulation before the creased the cost of living and dimin- ished the wages of all classes, and that none were benefited therchy but the nks of issue and those whose occupa- tion was note shaving, Another feature of the state bank circulation that was productive of loss and inconvenience was the fact thateach bank had its own plates engraved in a high or low style of art, according to the moans or ea- price of the bank officials. Hundreds of designs, good, bad and indiff t, were thereforo in existence, and only an ex- pert could distinguish countefeit from genuine aotes. This increased the tendency of the notes to remain within anarrow circle and av the same time added to the opportunities of profit or fraud in their circulation. Every man whose recollection goes back to the period when the paper cur- rency of the counury consisted wholly of state bank issues will endorse as abso- lutely accurate these statements ol See- rotary Foster, and will also agree with him that no greater misfortune could befall the financial interests of the people of the United States than a return to the system of bank currency which obtained dowu to the time of the passage by con- gress of the act which taxed state bank issues out of existence. Those who advocate the repeal of the tax—and they ar Imost without exception st rights democrats—assert that the coadi- tions have so changed in the last thirty years that there isnodanger of a restor- ration of the wildeat currency, but no man of fair intelligence rogarding finan- cial aflairs will be deceived by an assur- ance of this kind. If itshall ever happen again that state banks are permitted to issue circulating notes, subject, as they would necessarily be, only to state regu- lation, the country will be inevitably flooded, s it was thirty years ago, by a currency of variable value, to the great loss of the producing and laboring classes, and of benefit to nobody but the banks of issue and the note shavers. CHANGE IN I'HE CORN OUTLOOK. Nebraska are fortu- yearin the continued favorable conditions which have irsured a good corn erop, but our neighbors in Ka have within the past few days abandoned all hope of even a fi vield this fall. The Kansas City Times siys that the condition of the crop in that state ‘“‘is very serious, in some loculitios posi- tively alurming, and is moreover grow- ing worse.” [t appears that hot winds have prevailed everywhere in that state of late and that in some localities corn has been burned up. “Even with the most copious rains from this time for- ward,” says the paper quoted, ‘‘many counties wiil have only half a crop, while others are even now bayond demption. It is possible that the splendid wheat and oats yield will be about the only source of revenue to the farmers for the year 1892.” The grain dealers of Kansas are said to have given up all hope of more thun two-thirds of acrop, oven under tne most favorable circumstances, while many do not ex- pect half a crop. These discouraging reports from Kansas costrast strangely with the ports from all parts of Nobraska It is only a fow dayssince a drenching rain passed over this state, reviving vegeta- tion and giving corn a sure hold for the remainder of the season in most localitics, and now another heavy rain nsus i8 reported from the western part of the state, where it was most needed. It hardly ssems possible that the corn crop can fail to be a plentiful one in ebraska this year, though it is neknowledged to be at least two woeks later than usual, which may expose it to danger from early frosts. In corn as in everything else, there can be no absolute security from loss until the crop is harvested; but the farmers of this state hive seldom had a fairer out- leok than they have today, In Towa the prospect for a good crop of corn continues to bs favorable. In Tilinols the yield will fall considerably below the average. [n the lattor state the cron is said to indicute about 73 per cent of u reasonable avorage,which ma, be taken to mean that not more than three-guarters of a crop is to be ex- pectod. The wheat prospect, which always has an important iofluence upon the | corn market, seems 1o be generally fuir, this | but the Markel Iecord takes a gloomy view of the outlook in Minnesotn and North and South Dakota. It says that there will be a shortage of about 30,000« 000 bushels in those states, making their crop for this year approximately 13 000,000 bushels. The falling off is due lacgely to intense heat and huil storms Taking the principal corn and wheat distriets together is now seams probable that in both of these coreals the gate yield for this year will be a little below the average, but there is yet time for a change for the better in corn. So far as Nobraska is concerned it would seem from present indications that the furmers of this state are to be congratu- tated. With no moro than an averago crop of either corn or wheat in this country, and with tho short yield in Burope that is now reported, thero need be no apprehension of-ruinously low prices this year, aggre- FROM CENTER TO CIRCUMFERENCE. In would tention making new paving districts it be o to give special at- to streots in the center of the city. Hevetofore the poliey seems to have been to devote the intorsection fund in aid of parties who clamor for pavement on outlying streots leading to some now nddition to the city, where the travel is light and where there is no other reason for pave- ment than to enhance the value of real estato held for speculation. This m: boall right under certiin conditions, but only when the inside streots are well provided for. Aslong s there are any unpaved streets in the business centor the paved strests are always submoerged with mire after every heavy rain and it is almost impossible to kesp them clean. Anothor strong argument in favor of completing the paving in the center of the city is that the propasty can bear the tax more readily and the paving will be followed ¥ ubstantial improve- ments in the s of brick and stone structures, each of whien will very ma- terially increase the assessment roll. Had the paving been carried on from conter to circumference our business blocks would be more compact und the assessed valuation would have been raised by seveeal millions, The truth is there should be no pve- ment laid anywhere unless iv connects with a prvement already lnid and forms a part of a general paving area that in- tersects from street to street and alley to alley. SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS. Owing to the unfavorable industrial and social conditions which have often been pointed out, the developmsnt of the south is much less rapid than that of the west, but in recent ysars there have been signs of renewed life and en- ergy in the southern states that must be hailed with satisfaction by all patriotic Americans. Tu fruit, cotton, sugar, rice and lum- ber the south is now more productive than ever before. Over $5,000,000 worth of fruit and vezetibles are shippad an- nually to the north from Norfolk alone. Florida furnishes the country from 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 boxes of oranges every year and Georgia ships over 10,000 carloads of waterm=lons every senson, In the agovegate it is clnimed that the southerp shipments of early fruits and vegetables north and west amount to nearly $30,000,000 a year. ‘L'en years ago this business was of only trifling importance. The south an- nually produces about 453,000,000 pounds of sugar, 140,000,000 pounds of rice and many miilion pounds of tobacce, und its lumber product is estimated at $400,000,- 000, or as much as the value of the cot- ton crop. The aguregate production of wheat, corn and oats in the south in 1801 was 672,459,000 bushels, a gain of 66 per cent in ten years, while the gain in tho rest of tho country was 72 per cent in the same period. In 1881 the cotton crop was 5,436,000 bales; in 1591 it was 9,000,000 bales. the prices which prevailed in 1831 it is computed that the south’s agricultural products in 18)1 would have baen worth 00,000,000 more than the total 1: but even with the geent decline es the difference was about $200,- 000,000, The value of exports from southern ports in 1881 was $257,585,404, and in 1891 it showed an increase of 392,266,598, The south nhas 610 national banks with capital aggregating $00,9)5,405, the number of banks and the amount of cap- ital having more than doubled in ten years. An illustration of the growth in manufactures isafforded by tho fuct that the increase in capital invested in mn- ufacturicg in 1800 over 1880 was more than the total amount invested in 1870, When it is considered thut the south lost billions of dollars by the war and was ieft in a condition by no means favorabie to industrial progress the showing now made is remarkably good. The southern states have only to solve certain familiar problems relating to their social life and to recognize tho dignity of honest labor in order to inau- gurate an era of groat prosperity. The fact that they are doing well even under disadvantages which exist nowhere clse shows that thoy ave sharing in the gen- eral prosperity of the country nnd profiting by the wholesome commersial and financial policy under wh the wholo country is now moving forward with strides never bafore equalled in its history. ——— SHOULD TAKE A BROADGAUGE VIEW. The object of electing councilmon-at- large was to secure @ bigher grade of membersiip thun can be had by ward seiection and especially to secure men who would represent the whole city rather than a particular section or dis- triet. It seems, however, that our coun- cilmen-at-large loso sight of their own function. They ignore the [act that they are chosen by the whole city for the whole city and almost a’ ways aet as if they were expected to serve only the ward in which they happen to reside. A councilman-at-large may move from one ward to the other without losing his vight to his soat, whureas the ward ‘councilman must continue during his term to be a resident of the ward he represents, This fact within itself should impress councilmen-at-large with their obligation to rise nbove the wants of their own neighhorhood and codeavor in the mutter of public im- On the basis of - provoments, us h)“il other concerns, to support whatevdr would subsesve the best interests of t whola city. B — A WELL-MA AGKED BUREAU, 0 bureau or office of the government us been managed with groater ability and officiency under the present ad- ministration than the general land of tice. The first Elimissioner appointed by Peasident Hyrrison was Judge Grofl of Nubraska. whddhade n most excellont record during me he remuned in the office, | fi’ll the business far in arreacs and in ifith confusion, and tho first task was to oitablish doms system and method by which the work could be carried on inu propsr way., This ne- complished, the next duty was to mike an effort to dispose of the business that had got behind under the proevious ad- ministration and at the same time pre- vent new business from accumulating. It was an hereulean labor, but Commis- missioner Groff had made good progress * when parsonal reisons compelied him toresign. He had put thoe office in better working condition than it had vefore been in for yearsand loft it so that his successor could readily take up the task and carry it o a successful consumma- tion. Presdent Huarrison was fortunate in appointing Hon., Thomas Carter as commissioner of the general land office. for no man cou!d have shown greuter aptitude for its dutios or a higher order of efficiency in their parformance. The oxcellont worl inaugurated by his pre- decessor was ried ont with the result that the accumulated business ofyears has been disposed of and the office is now keeping up with current work. The annual report of the commissionor, re- cently submittod to the secretary of the interior, discussos the policy which con- trolled the my ement of the general land office under the Cleveland admin- istration and points out its detrimental effects upon the interests of honest settlers and upon thoss of the govern- ment. Injustice, or a denial of justice, says the commissioner, under the ma- chinery of vhe law, was its dominant feature. The settler who had honestly and la- boriously, and at much hazard and heavy expense, compiied 1n good faith with the requirements of the law, out- ged and indignant at the multiplied injuries inflicted on him by maladminis- tration, demanded & patent, a titie to the land he had by settlement, cultiva- tion and compliance with that law fuily earned. Thus by rfinsun of an erroneous and mistaken policy the legitimate channels of business in the office had become clogred apd a vast amount of work hid accumflated. Under the judicious change off policy no such diffi- culty now exists, The aim of the present administration has been to do exact justice to the set- tler and at the samb time fully protect the interests of the government, and this hus been done. No honest scttler has suffered any hardship and there has been no complaint that the righws of the government have not been care- fully guarded. The record made: by the general land office under this 'adminis- tration i in the highest degreo credit- able and presents a strong contrast to the manageme:nt of this branch of the public service under the last democratic administration. THE BARK OF THE “WATCHDOG.” Representative Holman, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, among whose titles is that of “*Wateh- dog” of the trensury, has given the pub- lic a comparative statoment of appro- priations at the first session of the pres ent congress and the second session of the I'ifty-ficst congress intended to discredit the statement made by Sena- tor Allison and to show that the Fifty- second congress was more economical than its predecessor: It will be remam- bered that on the last day of the session Senator Allisou stated in a general way that the present congress had appropri ated $44,000,000 more than was appro- priated at vhe first session of the last congress. Senator Gorman of Maryland, who will be accepted ns good democratic authority, vouched for the accuracy and fairness of the Towa senator’s statemeant, He said the figu of Mr. Altlison could not be questioned, aad bysay of defend- ing the appropriations he said the im- mense sum they represented had in part bocome nocessary by reason of the growth of the country. As betwaen the testimony of Ssnator Gorman and Congressman Holman no- body who knows anything about the two men will hesitate a moment which to aceapt. The cheese-paring represent- ative from Indiana destroys sny value which his statement might have by making a comparison between the ap- propriationsof the first session of the pres- entcongress and the second session of the last, which is manifestly unfair. But even with this he makes out a reduction of only $33,000,00), which is about one- third of what the democrats prooosed to save when the session began. [n ordor to swell the apparent saving, Mr. Hol- man says the ameint appropriated for vivers and harbors ought to ba deducted, the unfairness ofswhich will be upparent when it is remembared that the last congress passed 4 Liberal appropriation bill for rivers and havbors at its first sossion, and it has bacome the practice to appropriato for this purpose only once in two years. Mr. Iolman is fgank enough to admit that **theresults af the present session of congress will,yot fully mest the ex- pectations of thd' democratic party,” and he tries to apslogizs for them by placing the respaasibilivy upon the leg - islation of the preveding congress. Tho truth 18 thut therdls neither candor nor falrness in the statomint of Holman, who evidently felt that he must make the bost showing he could in order to save himself from being vtterly dis- credited by his party, a very small fac- tion of which, there is reason to believe, has uny confidence in‘him. His cheeso- puring efforts to économize hava boen a signal failure, and for the reason stated by Senator Gorman, that *‘the growth of the country, the extension of our postal system, the extension of our pen- slon system, and other permanent and necessary appropriations,” will not ad- mit of reduction. Mr. Holman’s at- tempt to deceive the people will be as futile as were his efforts at economy. AU 11, The undeniable fact is that the sum of the appropriations at the first sossion of the Fifty-socond congress is larger by over $10,000,000 than the appropriations at the (lrey gession of the IMifty-first con- gress, and any other comparison is ossentially unfair.

TATE'S ELIGIBILITY. He Makes & Frank aond Full Statement Converning His Citizenship, Oxaua, Aug. 10.-To the Editor of Tus Bek: [ sco by today's papors that & ques- clon as to my eligibility to hold the oftice of lieutenant governor has arisen.

When the contost as to the citizenship of Governor Boyd aroso I recalled my own negloot and as soon as it was convenient 1 filea my papers and comploted my citizonship, This L did on the 5th day of February, 1801, 1 was under the improssion that the terms o eiti- zonship woro fn the form of a contract and that when the tinal papers were fled citjzon- shin dated back to the tiling of the “Declara- tion of Intention.’ These are the plain facts in the case, and if they constitute insligibility thea it is the duty of the state central committoe to at once substitute another name for mino for the office of lioutenant governor, 1 love this land of my adoption.

It would be diffictit to find better gubernatorial timbor in any part of the state and impossible to find iv in any other party, Nebraska City Press: Nebraska republi- fans were nover in a botter condition to win than they aro this year. They have a stroug ticket. which the ‘most scrupulous can sup- vort, and above all, they have the inspiratisn of a great national party and its principles at their back. Thoy will thus have cvery in- centive to work, and work hard, with a good prospect of vietory. _Boatrico Express: The old soldiers of Nebraska, and theco are a good many of them yet, are enthusiastio for Harrison, Reid and Crounse. They wiill cast a big pilo of votes for all three. The democratic press can fiud or iuvent nothiag derogatory of Lorenzo Crounse. His record is above re- e He is a man of admitted ability and sterling qualities. ‘Che fight against bim must be made wholly upon party issues, and he can’t bo boat upon them. His eloction is therefore assured, Niobrara Pioncer: Tho Ploncor has rea- son to rejoice over the nomination of Judge Crounse "for governor on the republican ticket. He isthe only available man who can stem the current with Van Wyck. His character Is truo, his record is clean, his ex- ecutive ability perfect and his conservative judgment ono that establishes confidence. Haviog always been on the side of the peo- ple he will not only win to him the business interests of Nobraska, regardless of party, but also the conservative und tuoughtful farmors who have gone iuto the independent camp. Lincoln News: The ropublican ticket is Rrowing stronger every day. ‘The man who carefully comparos its porsonnel with that of tho only opposition ticket in the ficld will not hesitate i cast his vote for the one headed by Lorenzo Crounse. ihe record of the repuolican nominee for governor is ab- solutely unassailable from every side. Ho bas been a man of tae people. who hus ever labored for the people. In public and private lifo his career has been blameless and with- out stain, and the only charge that can bo brought against him bv even his most bitter political opponents is that ho is tho champion of a party that stands for American labor and an honest currency. Beatrice Times: If there was any question as to the resuitof the November election in this state, thut question has been settled by the wise and conservative action of the re- publican stato conyention 1a selecting Hon Lorenzo Crounse as the standard-bearer of the party. r. Crounso has ‘hived in Ne- l]rluk:l from the early terrtorial days. His first position was district judge, which he filled with such marked distinction that he was nominated and olected to congress. Judge Crounse was ono of the first men in the party to move against railroad domina. tion, and among the ma important measures passed by nim through congress was pro rate bill. This advanced Step In the in- terests of tho veopie hrought a fight upon him from the corporations, and he retived from political life to the practice of his pro- fession, in which he has been eminently suc- cessful. With such a man as Judge Crounse at the head of the republican ticket there can i be no hesitancy in thoe anti-monopoly element in the party voting it to a min. —_— MERRY THOUGHTS, Troy Press: Wh quito pifroY Lres: 0N & mosquito presents his tinvicea to call ugain, Cape Cod Item: It 1m0t who finds 1t 0aslost {0 pates tha O™ 0 raise the wind.

The dire prediotions made of Iato as to great shortage in the wheat crop aro not creditod by the officials at the Agricultural department who got up the regular crop re- port. 'Today has been the day of issue for Statistician Dodge’s monthly crop report, and the statemont has beon awaited with un- usual interest owing to the recent unoffoial predictions of a serious shortago of the world’s supply of grain, Tho ominous cou- dition of affairs was set forth in a dovble leaded editorial in thesNow York Sun of lasy Suaday which claimed to be prodictions based on a most cureful 1nvestigation in this The weneral conclusion would about 480,000,000 bushels, being some 000,000 bushels less than the product of 1891, After examining the condition in Russia, lndia and other wheat producing countries it concludes that the forcign product woull also b short of an average year as indicat- ing thoe fact that the world will have to face o very material shortage. Tho review con- cluded with the following words: “Where can be found an increass that will equal the difference in the yield of the American fleld.” Nothing Unusual to Be Feared, ‘The report which Statistician Doage made public at 4 o'clock this afternoon does not at- tempt to answer the uuofilcial predictions of ashortage. It proceeds, however, on the basis that there 1s now nothing unusual to bo approhonded. It says that the roturns re- lating to spring wheat show a slight falling off in some localities while in South Dakota and Nebraska there hus been a shight ad- vance. Inthe mountain states the conditions are generally bigh. The recent heat is re- ported to huve caused a decline iu Washing- ton and Oregon. As a whole the report in uo way bours out the unoficial predictions of a shortage, Statistician Dodge was asked tonight what he thought of the prophecios of shortage re- cently made. “I pay little attention to them,” said he, ‘for they come regularly every year and prove to be wholly without foundation. I bhave heard considerable com- ment on this recent prophecy, and I think 1 kuow the source from which it omanates. 1t belongs to a side of the grain market whicb would reap considerable benefit by a shortage. The gentleman from whom 1 think this e of prophecy originated came to me a vear ago with the same foreboding. He said we were going to bave a greatshort- Wasnisaros Buneav or Tur Bue, } couutry and abroad was tuat the American product of 184 be age, and he intended to hold his wheat for the largo ad- vance whioh would occur. I thluk be asted on this basis ana found lator in the season whon tho crop was unusually large that he had made a serious mistake. There is ronlly nothing of an unusual character in the condition of the crops of this country. It is probable that tho yield will not be np to tho great yield of lust year, but the falling off does not warrant any alarm or direful’ prophecy.” Miscellaneous. W. M.
