ALL OF the produ of Nebraska are the biggest and best of their kind. Hail stones over eight inches in circum- ference fell in the town of Pierce, in this state, the other day. MR. V. O. STRICKL has explained to the Live Issue club how the people’s party is misunderstood in this county. And after listening to him the club still misunderstood in the same way. THE thin attend of independents at the ‘‘grand rallies” held by that pacty throughout the state is proof that the populists are either scarce or else care little for campaign oratory. THE South Omaha stock yards’ fig- ures continuo to bo encouraging. The increase of 175,000 hogs from January 1 to this date over the figures of last year is a remorkuble showing, und the other stock shows up equally as well. A RATTLE-BRAINED correspondent has revived the old chestnut that the republican committee is pouring money into this state to defeat Bryan. In this case it would be manifestly absurd Yo spend money. It will not be necessary. CoNay MAN MCALEER, having ‘been nominated by the republicans and democrats of the Third Pennsylvania district with no opposition, ought to be satisfied; but he isn’t. He has filed his intention to run as an independent also. THE proprietor of an Omaha barber shop has put upasign forbidding his barbers from “‘talking politics to the customers,” Thisis an excellent rule for all shaving shops and could be im proved only by striking out the word “polities, THE soliciting committee to raise money for the Nebraska advertising train will of course have no difficulty in securing liberal donations from our bus- iness men. #700 is certainly a small amount to ask from this city and the re- turns, divect und indirect, will be many times that amount, THERE are numerous defections from one party to the other on account of dis- appointment in receiving offices, but there has been nothing in this campaign on the democratio side to compare for a moment to the desertion of the free teade purty by George Ticknor Curtis, the eminent constitutioual lawyer and author. —— Tue annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the United Kingdom was held av London Tuesaay and the president, Sir Albert K. Rallit, in an address said that ho was not able to con- gratulate the country on its trade ocon- ditions or prospects, especially in the coal, iron and steel trades, This leth- argy was noticeable in old business con- ters like Sheficld and Bradford. The speaker uscribed this condition to the American protective tavitf, —— IN ORDER Lo fully appreciate the won- desful growth of the business al the South Omaba stook yards, it s only nacessary to compare figures, which not ouly tell the truth but ulso speak vol- umes in very limited space. From Janu- ary 1 to date the receipts at the Union stock yards this year exceeded those of the corresponding period last year as follows: Cattle, 107,675; hogs, 178,284; sheep, 18,619; horses and mules, 3,804, Buch an increase as this justifies the be- liof that South Omaha is determined to become in the near future the greatest live stock und packing center in the world, The influence of such a business vpon the future of Omahu can hardly be overestimuled. So long as tha prophoets of calamity devote thomselves to predictions of evil times to come and vague generalities concerning the present hardships of the poople they may be supposed by char- itable critics to be merely victims of de- lusion; but when they come down to epecific illustrations they will have to confine themselves to the truth or else stand convicted of dishonesty. They | areindustriously circulating statements concerning the mortgago indebtedness of certain counties in this state which will not bear investigation, aad though we profer to believe them innocent of deliberate falschood it is evident that they are at least guilty of reckless dis- wrd for the reputation of the great prosperous stato of Nebraska, to and whose Interests they profess devotion. Itis not practicable to iook into the records of all the counties in the state, but three or four will serve to show how little foundation there is for the claim of the populists that tho farmers of Ne- braska steadily sinking into the quicksands of debt. A sufficient tion of the statemont that the mor indebtedness in IMillmore county been inc s $160,000 during the past yoar is prosentod by THg BEE'S cor- respondent at a. The offieial records show that tho amount of mort- ed in that county was $81,650.04 than the amount wsed; but and when the whole truth is stated it is seen that the financial condition of the peo- is growing better instead of worse. \zos nggrogating $ 07.58 woro given to secure a part of the purchase price of property; a Chicago firm gave w mortgage of $11,000 on its elavators in that county; chattel mortgages to the amount of $4,350.58 were given to secure loans which were also secured by real estate mortgages, thus doubling the ap- parent amount; about $6,200 of mort gages woro given for imported horses. It thus appears that the amoant of mort s given for horrowed money 102,598,122 less than the amount re- lensed. Is not this a showing that should make the peopie of Fillmore county proud rather than despondent? In Antelope county the mortgages filed in July exceclled the 1 but this is also sutisfactorily explained. The excess of real mort filed ¢ thoso released as in others, to the p and therefore cannot be having mort aro Gene more these figures need to be qualified ase estate ov considered as Tho chattel ceded those r le t satisfactorily plained. A number of large mortgages were given for cattle bought, and $4,008 of releases that should have appeared in the July record went over by an over- sight until August. Outof tho total of $10,771 for the month £6,000 was for debts of tradesmen and feedors, and therafors cannot be counted aguinst the prosparity of the farming class. Tt is to be remem- bered, too, that Julyis the heaviest chattel mortgage month, becauss it is the month in which mortgages against favm crops for reatals are usuilly re- corded. Richardson is another county whose July chattel movtgage record has been pointed out as a proof of increasing pov- erty. An official of that county has, however, stated the case in a way that shows that the farmers are not growing poorer. One mercantile failure caused the filing of $6,400 in chs mortgages during the month in question. The large nunfber of erop mortgages filed in July, according to the usual custom, and a prevailing indiff; in respect to re- leasing those that have been satisfied, account for the balancs of the apparent increase of mortgages filed over those released in that county. Without taking up a great number of specific cases, it may be broadly stated that official reports from a large number of counties in Nebraska show thut where mortgages filed are in excess of those released the cause is not the increasing poverty of the people. The zeal of the ecalamity prophets in their deliborately chosen policy of des- paraging this state and creating an ut- torly groundless feeling of uncusiness and uncertainty as to its future does them no credit. A political movement whoso success depends upon such tactics deserves to fail. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS, The voters of Nebraska should not lose sight of the two proposed amend- ments Lo the constitution to e voted on at the November election, both of which ave important and ought to be adopted. One of these relates to the investment of the permanent educational fund of the state. This fund is derived from land set apart by the organio law for the maintenance of the schools, the interest only being used for this parpose. The constitution provides that the fund shall not bo invested or loaned ‘*‘excopt on TTnited States ov stave securities, or registered county bonds,” and the amendment submitted proposes to ada, “or registered school district bonds of this state.” There is no valid objec- tion to thus enlarging tho field for the investment of tho educational fund, and there aroe cogent reasons in favor of doing 80, The school district bonds are perfectly safe, and it is manifestly much botter that the interest paid on themn i should remain in the state, to be applied % the muinienance of the schools gener- ally, than that it should go elsewhere or into the hands of private capitalists, Itis desirable that the state educational fund shall be made as productive as possible. None of it should be kept idle in the treasury it can be safely ana profit- ably invested in the way directed by the constitution, If the proposed amend- mont provail there will bo enlarged da- mand for it that will doubtless prevent any ucoumulation and it will serve a pur- pose entirely consistent with the intent of the organic law. No serious opposition 10 the proposed amendment is expoected the only danger being in the possibility of its veing overlooked and in conse- quence receiving less than a majority of all the votes cust at the election, as re quired for the adoption of a constitu- tional amondment. ‘The other proposed amendment pro- vides for the election of threo railroad commissioners by the electors of the state at lurgo. The expadiency of such a chunge is gonerally conceded by those who have given the matter intelligent THE OMAHA DAILY BEE FACTS ABOUT THE MORTGAGE RECORD. , consideration. THr Ber has always contended that the regulation of trans. portion rates should procecd directly from the legislature, tut in lieu of that the best alternative is a commission chosen directly by the people and oclothed by law with all necassary au- thority, as in fowa and othor states, to establish maximum rates, 1ch & com- mission could give all its time and at- tention to the duties required of it, and it would be under the influsnce of a con- stant senso of responsibility to the poo- ple, which evidently has not bsen tho case with Nebraska boards of transpor- tation as now constituted. There is every reason to balieve, in view of the experience of othor states, that an elec- tive railrond commission would do far more for the correction of abuses of which the psople now justly complain than can ever bo expected under pros- ent conditions, PROTECTION NEPITS IN ONE STATE. The report of the labor commissioner of Massachusatts, the trustworthy char- acter of which no one has tured to question, shows even hotter sults from the operation of protection under the present tariff than the report of the New York labor commissioner, which the democrats nre so eagerly en deavoring to discradit. The Massachusetts report shows that since the present tariff law went into of- fect wages in that stato have advancod materially and that the protected in- dustries have been able to pay on an av- orage nearly $42 to every workman in 1891 who received but 438 in 1800, It is shown, also, that the industries of Mas- sachusetts turned out more than $8,000, - 000 worth of goods in 1801 in excess of the production of the previous year and that this enlarged output gave employ- ment to 24,000 more people than wer engaged in these industries the year be fore the McKinley law went into opera- tion. This involved an increased di bursement of money for labor amounting 36,000, which moans a very ma- ddition to the prosperity and comforts of the people of that state. The cotton goods industry realized the most important increase, having pnid over $1,0:0,000 more in wages in 1801 than in 180); next came the woolen goods industry with n y advance of 11,000 then the machinery industry . with an inc se 11 wages of $300,000. It is observed that tho incrense in wagos would have boen still ov had it not been for a decrease in the boot and shos and leathor trades, industries which have the advantage, according to tho democratic theo of free raw materi- als. Nevertheless the total amount of wages and the average yearly wages of the workingmen of Massachusetts have experienced a ver, sfactory increaso under the present tariff, Another fact of interest is that the in- crease in oapital devoted to production in 1891 was nearly $10,000,000, an increase of 2.34 per cent, while the increase in the value of goods was but 1.33 par cent, although the incroase in the value of stock used amounted’ to 7 per cent. Thus the manufacturing industries of Massachusetts, with more persons em- ployed, higher wages and a larger pro- duction, have producaed’ goods in many cases lower than before and yet at a fair profit. *‘This is a showing,” remarks the Boston Advertiser, “that Natly and very plainly contradicts by actual re- sults the rather dismal prophecies made in 1890; buv it is a showing which is quite in line with the facts and figures published elsewhero during the present year.” It supplements and sustains the report of industrial progress in New York and it is in accord with the ex= perience of manufacturers everywhere. Yet in the face of such indisputable facte, unmistakably due to tho tariff policy of the republican party, demo- cratic leaders audaciously assert that the McKinley law has had nothing to do with inereasing industrial development, and improving the wages of labor. “We insist that tho country has been pros- perous,” said Senator Hill in his Broolk- lyn speech, “not because of the McKin- ley law. but in spite of it.”” Such leaders of the democracy must have a very poor opinion of the intelligence of the peoplo if they suppose that after the utter failure of their prophecies of two years ago, that the McKinley bill would bring aisaster to the country, they can now in- duce any large number of the people to believe that that act is entitled to no eredit for the industrinl progross and general prosperity of the country. 25 IT wouLD be a strange thing indeed if a Nebraska exhibit train should huve to start out with the county of Douglas unrepresented, and yet that very result is foured by the Nebraska State Busi- ness Men’s association, as is shown by the appeal of Secretary Hodgin for sub- scriptions from the citizens of Omaha. The funds required for the Douglas county_exhibit have not been provided, the committee having been unable to obtain the money expected from the county commissioners. Thedirectors of the association suy that. theiv finances are in such condition that #700 more will be needed from this county in addi- tion to a small amount left over from last year., As the train is to start on the 26th instant it will be seen that the time for securing a proper representa- tion from this important county is very short. It is unfortunate that depen- dence was placed upona source of manly supply thut was necessarily uncertain, Butif the work is pushed perhups some- thing muy yet be done. — THE date of the departure of the Ne- braska exhibit train No. 2 is September 26, next Monday. As yetno provision has been wmade for having Douglas county represented in the exhibit. It is manifestly most desivable that the county in which is located the metrop- olls of the state shall contribute to the display of Nebraska’s products, and a failure to do this will be a reflection upon the enterprise and public spirit of our people. The county commissioners hay- ing disappointed the committee of the State Business Men’s association in not contributing the money expected from them, an appeal is made for & popular subscription, the amount it is desired to secure belug between $500 and $600. It is to be hoped the appeal wiil receive a ready response from the businoss com- wmunity, so that Douglas county may have an adequntg gepresentation and not suffer in the estimation of the rest of the | state by renson f'7an apparent lack of liborality and pyblfe spirit. Whatever good may be ateemplished by the send- ing out of this d¥fibit, in attracting at- tention to the products, resources and capabilitios of Nebeaskn, Douglas county will share in, ard it is the obvious duty of her people to bear a just proportion of the expense, ¥hilo there is also the obligation to aid in advancing the inter- ests of the state avlarge. ——— THE republicans of this district ought 10 be represented in congress by a publican, but what chance is there to elect & man to congress who only four or five years ago was badly knocked out in this county for probate judge?
