The presidential election will be held iwo weeks from today. The campaign thus far has been less demonstrative and exciting than any national contest within the memory of the oldest voter, a condition for which soveral reasons | are advanced. Mr. Blaine suggosts that it may be accounted for by the growth in population and the consequent ab- sorption of the public interestin vast | commercial and fi Al operations, or it may possibly indicate a subsidence in the future of extrome partisanship. Another suggestion is that the general adoption of reformed ballot laws has rendered less old eampaign methods, while still another is that the majority of voters are this year to a far grenter extent than usual thinking for themsolves, At any rate the eampaign has been excoptionally free from excite- ment, and it appears probable that this wiil continue to be the case, excent per- haps in spots, to the end. What is the outlook? is a question which millions of voters ave asking. Tt isa question very difficait to answer, owing to the complication arising out of the unkunown voting strength of the third party and the uneertainty regard- ing the result of the fusion of that party and the aomooracy in cortain states. It appears to be the view of the man- ngers of the two grent parties that the will be decided by the votes of w York and Indiana, and hence their effortd are being lnrgely concentrated upon these stutes, ‘T'heve are 444 votes in the electoral an increase of forty-three since the election of 1888, and the successful candidate must have at least The that voted for HTareison in 1888 cast 285 votes, but this s they will Tinve 210 votes on necount of the mew apportionmént undev the censug of 1800, The states that voted for Cleveland in 1855 had 168 votes and this year they will have The new electoral votes for daho, 3: Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, 43 Washington, 4; \Wyoming, 3; total, 20. [t may s well be concoded at the out- set that the democrats will get the 15 votes of the solid south. This in the north tobe di- vided between the parties, and in order to be choson by the éfectoral colloge Mr. Cleveland must eapture 64 of these. If he carries Connecticnt and New Jersoy, as he did four yours ago, this willigive him 16, leaving 48 votes to be sccured elsewhere 'n thenorth Shoutd he cu New York and indiana ho would have 3 move votes than necsssary, nnd Wisconsin, to which the domocratic manngers are looking hopefully with Yorlk, would e lilm just the re- quired number of votes for election. The 14 votesof Michigan will be divided, but it is impessible to say what number cuch party will get. Conceding to Mr. Harvison all the states he carried four yours ago excapt New York and [ndiana and only half the vote of Michigan, it gives him 191 votes, leaving thirty-two to be se- curcd 1n order to be elected. For these the republicans must look to the new states with' twenty votes, N York with thivty-six and Indiana with fifteen o total of seventy » votes. Upon this showing it will be scen that the re- publicans can elecet their candidate if they carry Indinna and seventeen of the tes of fhe new states, or if they carry 'w York and lose Indinna anc necessary contes co! stutes b8 to cast their tho fiest time n lonves 285 voles and all the new states, while=hould they carey both Now York and Indiana thoy could spare nineteon votes hesides those of the states which will vote for the first tume this vear ina national election, Onviously us between the republicans and the democeats the situation is movre favorable to the former, but here arises the unanswerablo question as to the pos- sible results of pepulist and demoeratic tusion. In any event, however, there is nothing in the outlook that ought to discourage the republicans, though the situation demands that they permit no abatement of zeal and offort in the cam- puign. It is wise to recognize the fact that it isa close fight and must be kept up orvously to the end. DWW OF AMERICAN CITIES, A wonderful industrial growth in the citios of the United the sevies of reports now being issued by the census bureau. [t appears that the total product of the manuafactories of New York, ’hiladelphia and Chicago for the census your of 1800 200,000, compaved with & 200,000 in 1880. The product of these three cities is greater than the aggregate manufac- o5 of the United Stutes as reported by the census of 1850, and the incroase in their products from 1850 to 1890 was nearly s groat as the increase in the whole country from 1870 to 1880, While New York still retains the su- premacy as a munufacturing center, the increnso hus beon greater in Chicago than anywhere The incrense in population and in wanufactures in the three eities named has boen as follows during the teu years that have elapsed since the last consus: w York, popu- lation 26,62 manufiuctures 56,20 per cent: Chicago, population 11858 per cent, munufuciures 148,83 per cont; Philadelpt pooulation 2358 per cent, munufucturcs #3.51 per cent. 1t will bo secn that Chicago’s percent- age of growth in'pepulation and munu- uetures is enormously in excass of that of the great eastern eitios with which comparison is made. The census ligures concerning the growth of manufactures in all of the western cities show that they are making rapid advancemont. Those of Omwaha, published » fow duys 150, proved that this city 15 not an ex- tiot to the general rule that the western cities wro tuking groat stiides in manu- fucturing industries, It is difticult to v fueturing induy are still in the atos is shown by (% per cent, ilize that the manu- iesof the United States v infancy, but this is seen 1o be the caso whon comparisous ave presented like those given above, If throe cities are now turning out more manufactured products than the whole couatry did thirty years ngo, it is ciear that the industries of the United States | awe destined to altain enormous propor- tions. Conditions npow exist which { favor growth us much as those of the past. The popu n ol the country is increasing prodigiously year by year, nd with the wereased population and growth in wealth will certainly cowe an enlarged domand for manufnctured products In the naturo of things the manufacturing will be chiefly done in the cities. Their production of articles | needful to supply a multiplying popula- tion will steadily increase to meet the demand. It will be so in Omaha as well as in othor ocities which are natural sources of supply for a wide torritory that is daily becoming more thickly peopled. Every new manufacturing in- dustry adds to the population of the city by creating a demand for workmen, and increased population means en- larged business in every line. In the city of Buffalo the value of manufac- tured products has increased from $42,- 000,000 in 1880 to $96,400,000 in 1800, and the population has increased 100,000 in the ten years. Does anybody doubt that the industrial growth noted 18 the primary cause of the increased popula~ tion? The same rule holds good every- where, and will apply as well to Omaha 48 10 any other city ABOUT MORTGAGE INDEBTEDNESS, The facts presented in Tne Bee of Monday regarding mortgage indebted- ness were a complete and couclusive refutation of the repeated populist as- sertions on this subjoct. The statistios given were collected with great care from official records, n source of infor- mation to which the traducers of Ne- braska have not gone, and they can be accepted with unquestioning confidence by all who are interested 1n this much scussed and grossly misrepresentod subject. The truth which these facts vouch for is that within the past threo youars there has been a grent decrease inthe amount of mortgnges filed; that there has been an increase in the value per acre and a large decrease in the amount of pron- erty mortgaged; that the debt incurred has been reduced to a considerable amount; that the mortgaged property is worth more than twice the amount of tho debt, and that there has been a stendy decline in tho per capita of debt incurred. It is shown that the mort- gage indebtedness of Nebraska is but little more than one-half of what it has been asserted to be by the people who ave sceking to discredit this state, and whose misrepresentations during the past few years have done it immeasur- able dumage. We commend these statistics to the careful perusal of all intelligent and fair-minded men. Tt could he wished that the farmers of Nebraska owed les money: that all of them owned their pos: ons free of debt, as many of them do. But they are byno meansas a class in the impoverished and distressed condition in which the calamity howlers represent them to ve, and the groat body of them do not need any such “roliei” as 1t is proposed to provide by sub-treasury and fiat money schemes. We make no zardous statement when we sayv that the condition of the farmers of Nebraska will compare favorably with that of the producers of any other state in the union, while their oppor- tunities, under judicious and consorva- tive legislation affecting their interests, are equul to the best. Dangor to their intercsts and to the genoral prosperity lies in approving the misrepresontutions of demagogues whose motives and aims are wholly selfish, THiE WHEAT SULPL Europe looks to India as one of its greatest sources of wheat supply, and it appenrs from a rocent report of the De- vartment of Agricuiture at Washington that the product of Indin for 1892 is the smallest harvested since 1884, It shows a falling off from lust yew's crop of 53,556,000 bushels, or 21 per cont. average is reduced by wore th 000 acres, and the yield per \ 8.4 bushels. This would be considored rather a small yield in the United States, and is considerably bolow the average reported for Nebraska this vear. Tt is interesting to note that the stat- istician of the Dapartment of Agricul- ture finds reason to believe thal there is little probability of an increase in wheat production in India. The fact that there has been a large falling oft in acreage in that country this year, and the additional fact that the yearly avernge of ncreage has been constantly erowing smaller since 1885, would seem to justify this belief. This is of consid- erable importance to the American farmer, for it indicates that one of the most formidable compotitors of this countey in the wheat markot of Buropo is not likely in the future to meet its share of the world’s wheat demand. The demand naturally increases from vearto vear and must be supplied from some source. The American product can be made as great as need be, and no matter what the demand may be it will be met by the American farmer if he can be “reasonably certain of fair prices. If the shortage in India is as great as stated this year it 1s to be expectod that an improvement in the Furopean mar- et will soon be shown. A LUCAL MANU UREI'S VIEWS. The head of one of the largest manu- facturing concerns in Omaha says that he has his plans made for extensive ad- ditions to his factory in case of the elec tion of Harrison, but that the enlurge- ment will not be made if Cleveland be elected. This is purely a matter of busi- ness with him, and partisanship has nothing to do withit. A removal of the p otective tariff upon the articles pros duced by this firm, would expose it to foreign competition, which it could not at present withstand, aod under such couditions an enlargement of its facili- ties would not be thought of, if, iudeed, it should be able to continue business at all, This is only one instance among many by which the sentiments of business men concerning the tarifi yuestion are shown in a practical way. There are other manufacturers in this city, and among them some life-long demoerats, who are not a little disturbed by the possibility of the triumph of free trade. They know that the change proposed by the sup- porters of Cleveland would directly damage their business inlerests. lumost cases they are ongaged in enterpriscs that are young and not sufficiently well estublished to be independent of the aid which a protective tariff gives them. It is not necessury to go away from home for proof that men intercsted in indus- ek st trial pursuits are opposed to free trade. Omaha has plenty of. them, and it they do not say much ¥Ney nevertheless keop up & lively thigking. They will un- doubtedly be heard from on election day, and it will be found ahat their employes are with them. The manufacturer and the wage carners who are dependent upon his prosperity will make common cause against free trade. FROM BAD €0 WORSE. The telegraph pole nuisance to which this city has submitted for so many years is actually growing from bad to worse. There is not another city of equal population in ‘America that pre- sonts such a forest of poles and danger- ous network of overhead wires as Omaha. It was expected naturally that the pro- spective taking down of telepbone poles would be preceded by the taking down of the unsightly telegraph poles, at lenst on the principal thoroughfar .stead of that the council has, by tion, granted a permit to the telegraph company to replaco its poles on Farnam streot with larger poles, carrying more wires, and the work is now being done. It would seem as if tho people of Omaha had no representation n the council. There is nothing that a fran- chised corporation asks for that it does not get and there is nothing that the people want that they can get at the hands of the council without the consent of the corporations and contractors. Why should not the telegraph com- pany be willing to do for Omuha what it has done in other less pretentious cities? Why should they persist in ob- structing our principal business thor- oughfares with monster poles and en- danger our business blocks and the lives of our firemen by stringing numburless wires which can and ought to be placed under ground? Is thore never to bo any velief from the wire nuisunc IT wAS & master stroke of volitical abitity which prompted the republicans of Davenport to secure a speech from Mr. Charles Foster, secretary of the treasury, last Saturday evening. Dav- enport is the city of Iowa which is most interested in a sound currency, for its savings banks are by far the largest and most numerous of any city in the state. Secretary I'oster made many re- publican votes by his exposition of the wildeat plank of the democratic plat- form and by pownting to the republican party’s safe record on money. There is also at Davenport, as in every city in Towa, a great increase of the republican vote this year by reason of the return of anti-prohibition republicans to their party. This is going to be a great yeer for republicanism in Towa. — S THE prospect now is that the next council will be no'improvement on the present council. ''Qur taxpayers appear to be altogethen indifferent, but the franchised corporations and contractors were nevef morg’ agtive. The boodle candidates ace getting substantial aid and spending corpordtion money very freely in the saloons; while the very few decent men who have been nomi- nated are hiable to be snowed under. In any other city but corporation-ridden Omaha there would be an uprising of the taxpayers and business men to purge the city by presenting citizens' nomina- tions for councilmen in every ward that has no choice between notoriously dis- reputable or dishonest candidates with a party lubel. Mg. POYNTER was elected tothe state senate as an anti-monopolist and the independent senate elected him president protem. He waselected on a pledge that he would work for the passage of a law making it a penal offense for any public oflicial to uccept a free railroad pass. Instead of living up to the pledge Poynter rode on passes and charged mileage up to the stato und even asked the railroads to give him passes over lines east of the Missouri river. Now Poynter wante to be elected to congress on the strength of his fidelity to anti- monopoly principles.

PRRAS . Wildeat Currency Afloat. Chicago Tritnne. That incorrigible joker, MeCullagh, of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, sends the follow- ing note to the T'ribun Sr Louls, Mo.

JU B MeCuULLAGH, The 5 note enclosed is a samplc of the demo. cratic old wildeat variety. It was issuea by e Cleveland bank, Bungtown, N.

T'ho bill which Me- Cullagh sends is just as good as the Stuff which will beissued if the democrats are suc- cessful and got the 10 per cent tax on state bank issues repealed. - Thoughts for “lopulists.” New York Tribune. Such republicans as ave still giving aid to the democracy by supporting fusiou or peo- plo's tickets at the west, are bound, as honest, men, to look squavaly at certain facts which recent events make plain, 1. Soutbern democrats who pretended to 20 iuto the peovle's party have gencrally abanvoneu it. ‘Throughout the east and south, democrats are staling, with the abso lute certainty ahich comes only of power to control elections by fraud, that every south- ern state will vote for Mr. Cleveland. They may possibly be mistaken, but experience in Alabama and Georgia this year, and in tho southern states generally for tifteen years past, indicates that votes iu thut section aro likely to pe counted before they are cast 2. The peovle’s party at the west is not, as many hoped it would be, & party of the peo- ple. " Ilngineered and directed by the most rotorious political hacks and chronio office- seckers, 10 most of the western statos, it continues to exist solely for the purpose of detaching enough republican votes to make democratic success possible. ‘Lhere is no more chance of getting unybody but Mr. Cleveland elocted president if the election should ouco o to the house than there is of electing Weaver by the popular vote of New York. Men who want to help the demo- cratic party had better do so openly and like men, answering for it to the worid and i consciences. 3. Tho republican party is not dead nor dyiug, #s some fanatics imagine. Stronger than cver at the east, because of democratic fusion in wostern states witn men whose ob- jects the eastern democrats profess 1o detest; stronger than ever in all manufacturing states because of the wonderful growth of manufactures since the new tariff w adopted: stronger wherever patriotic fecling is found because of tho splendid conduct of the administration in foreign affairs, its de- fense of American honor, its reciprocity aud its success in opening foreign to American m products, the grand old party is making such a fient ttat ity adversaries bogin to This at least recent events make cectain, that the republican party cunnot be put on the sheif, but will live to triumph wheuever the people comprebend that nothing olse can save tho country from free trade, wildeat money and the dominaton of a south made solid by fraud. 4. The so-called people’s purty was born of bad crops and ignorance, Mauy who read only one side came to believe that the repub- lican party had created all monovolies, plun- dered and impoverished the peoplo and re- duced the land to starvation. The crops of 1891 paid off morteages by the thousand ana everv man emancipated from debt began to look facts in the face and saw what lies had been told him. Calamity wailers have not boen gaining votes since the bad harvest of 1800, and it is up hill work for them this yoar, with the evidences of uuprecedented prosperity rolling in every day from official and other sources. It is a good time for those who have been used by the democratic party as its tools to ask themselves seriously if they have not been so used long enough. To be cneated once is about enough tor most Americans. The practical, hard handed and hard headed men of the west must speak for themselves and suy whether they care to be used as cats. puws in another election. e 5 FLASHES OF F Hon, James nee for con and Congressman fibune for i ive moof, “is enielly not nore bid disposition.” Philadelphia Record: This is the Jatest on your et burkes You-Do you keep whisky hore?
