It is to be hoped that some of this surplus will be used toward putting the wires under ground in Omaha, THAT aged and leaky democratic ®raft which is in the habit of making quadrenninl voyages up Salt river will have among its passongers this year some new and distinguished names which belong to men who in former years had sense enough to know where they werc at. BLAINE has never boeo able to satisty the democratic papers. Now they are claiming that he is a bitter partisan, while only a few days ago they wero Ppositive of his utter indifference in this campaign. One of the hest things about ‘Blaine is his obstinate and ceaseless abilities to draw out democratic attack. BuUSINESS failures throughout the country during the past week numbered 187, as compared with 235 for the corres- ponding week of last year. This is in harmony with the reporte that have been made from week to wesk for many months past. A remarkably healthy state of business is shown by these figures. THE annunal report of Major General Schofield has been issued, and in it he takes occasion to pay a high tribute to tho efficiency and loyalty of the state militia as exhibited on several occasions during the past year. There is always considerable jealousy between the regu- lar army and che militin, and this re- port is to be commended for its un- biased ton MRS, MARY Leaseis to be with us Monday night, She is a bright repre- sentative of the embattled farmer of the prairie states that hus taken up the cry of calamity and the demand for more money. It remains to be seen, how- ever, whethor Mrs, Loase will condone the insults and outrages that have peen perpetrated in southern states upon populist ¥penkers and especially General ‘Weaver and herself. Tug Chicago people ground of complaint concerning the reports published in New York news- papers as to the fleecing of visitors at have some the inauguration ceremonies, No doubt there were occusional cases of extortion, but tho Philadelphia Ledger says thatit has icformation from ve- liable sources that the (uests of Chi- cago on this oc2asion hal the best hotel accommodations and cab servico at lower rutes than prevail either in New York or Philadelphia, notwithstandinfy the enormous crowd and the excess of demand over supply. This disparage- ment of the exposition city by New York is not creditable to the latter, and can serve no good purpose. The ‘World’s fair is & nitionul enterprise and should be treated as sucu, JUupGE WAKELEY has taken the stump as a rank partisan and urges the demoorats to vote the ticket straight from top to bottom, yellow dog nnd all. Judge Wakeley is the last man that oughtto eink good citizeaship in parti- sanship. He was appointed as judge by & republicun governor and twice elected to the position by the votes of republi- cans, Itisright and propev for demo- oratic stump spenkers to champion the eundidates of their party, but when any wman of the ripe judement nad experi- ence of Judge Waleley asserts that a eandidate with a democratic lubel, how- ever disreputable and incompeteat he amight by, is preferable to an honest and cupablo vepublican he degraves the sandard of political morale and saps the vory foundation of popular goverument. DEMOCRATIO DEVICES, To the closing days of the oampaiga | the democratic managers 1n Nebraska are having rocourse to devices whick show that they realize the desperate nature of their caase, Until they no have been content to earry o the can vass upon the issues clearly dsfined by the platforns of the parties. 'he can- didates have discussed the tariff and the ourrency and talked in o genaral way about Jeffarsoniin pr les. The democratic candidate for governor has preach 1o the people the baauties and the henofits of free trade ns ho secs them, and it is fair to him to say that he has shown more candor and o in this respect than most other democratic con leaders, including the candidate for president. Mr, Morton his not per- mitted any doubt that he is for freo trade in its largest application and fully agrees with the enunciation of the national convention of his party that the protective policy is unconstitutional. Finding that this sort of teaching has had the offect to we: n inste; of strenglhen the party. the managers are now iking to repair the 1oss by creat- ing a new issue which noboldy elss has thought of n vemotely passiblo. They are sending broadeast circulars stating that the prohibition question will ba again rarsad unless a domocratic slature bo elected and that the onl cortain wiy of preventing stitutory prohibition is to give the democrats control of the legislature. Ivery intel- voter will ses ata glance that this is simply a roorbach. P’ronibition bas not been thought of in this cam- paign by men of vithoer of the political parties as a presentor prospective issue. It is not veferred to in either the repub lican or populist platform. Neither of the candidates for governor is a prohi- bitionist or would give his aporoval to legislation providing for prohibition. Bach of them would respsct the will of the peoplo as expressed 1wo yanrs ngo. Such be'ng the caso, the design of the democratic managors to croate a stam- pede to the democratic ticket among forcign born citizens opposed Lo probi- bition will fail. The trick is too plain to deceive anybody of ordinary intelli- o, Prohibition is noi now menac- the material inte s and welf: of Nebraska, nor is it likely to do so in the near future. The danger to this state is in the possible success of men to whom dem wticaid is being given, who ing stand for policies which would repet capital and population from Nebraska. Another matter out of which the democratic managers dro endaavoring to make capital is the Lincoln asylum investigation, the purpose being to co it appear that the vepublican Is who constitute the Board of Publiec Launds and Buildings arve re- sponsible for the frauds and peculations committed in that institution. No fair- minded man will be misled by such an implication. THE BEE has vepeatedly urged that frequent investigation of the public institutions of the state is de: sle, but although the alliance party had & majority in both houses of the last logisluture it did not investi- gate. It has happened under repub lican administrations that when venal and corrupt practices were discovered iv the public institutions the culprits have been summarily dealt with. Tho Board of Public Lands and Buildings fully and fairly reported to the gov- ernor all the facts ascertained by tho investigation, and it possesses no authority to do more than this. The integrity and fidelity of its membors as public ofticials are in nowise impugned by theso disclosures. The democratic party of Nebraska is inabad way. Its masquerading, with the populists has disgusted a great many siucere democrats who are un- compromisingly opposed to the doc- wrines and principles of the new party, and its late dovices will not improve its condition, It has lost an opportunity that will not come to it again for years, A AND COMMERCE. For the time being the cholera scarc isatan cnd, but there isa widespread foeling that the disease will next year again appear in Burope with increased virulence nnd that this country will suffer from a more or less serious visitation of it. The possiblo consequences of such acalumity cannot be fully foreseen, but everybody can understana that they would be oi sograve a chuaracter that every possible precaution should be taken to avert them. Commerco would be most injuriously affected, the success of the Columbian exposition would be greatly imperiled and the effec all interests might by us so wouid result from a worldwide financial crisis, In the North American Review for No- vember, Mr. Frastus Wiman, with a view to arousing the public mind to the necessity of taking every possible pre- caution, offers some timely suggedtions as to what might be the consequences to the commerce of the country should A find a lodgment in any of the at cities, ov bacome epidemic, as it once before did, in small towns. The actunl ascertainable loss involved, ho observes, and the monetary disaster that would foilow are 50 pulpable and enormous that it would scem as if theve was haraly any precaution which should not be taicen by the authorities, either federal, state or municipal. Justification for the most extreme measures will be found in the contemplation of the mag- nitude of the disaster that wou'd occur if the business of the country were to be seriously interfored with, even by good ground for apprehension, apart from the actual existence of the disease in any considerable number of places, Mr. Wiman thinks that the losses to the trangportation interests of the coun- try might bo s0 great as to cause & financial disuster of the first mugnitude. Such a contingency must be regarded as entirely possible if a universal fear took possession of the people. Tho de- sire w stay at home as the salest of places, the anxiety to avoid exposure and contact with othors, the fear of change in waler and in food prepared by strangers, would be utiversal, and it would be no exaggeration to believe that fully one-quarter of those who habitually travel would cease to do so, Mr, Wiman apprehends that not only would speculation be paralyzed and ail Bow eunterprises be checked, but even CHOL, for (he legitimate wants of businoes the l By the nmnrm monatary accommodation would be want- ing The loss of confidence would re- steict loans, lossen deposits and renorally eontract the policy of every financinl institution in the country. New purchases would cease and credit would receive a severe shock. The Aestruction of life would at the most bo small compared with the blow to the general prosperity, [a view of theso pos<abilitiss Mr, Wi- man urges that peocautl of an extrns ordinary nature should thinks if ¢ to decide that 1o more immigration should be permit- ted within the next twelve months the action would seem to be a most justified by the danger that is ineurred. The sufety ‘in the matter of health would be enormously promoted by the total cessa- tion of immigration, tion will also be necessary tations, bec the germs of cholera may be distributed in articles of mov chandise, as in rags, hides, cloth, nee« dale work, fine wools, und especially in clothing, of all which thero is constantly a largo importation from Furope. It is well that timely consideration be given 1o the possible vs from a cholera epidemic in order that the state and municipal authorities generally— well those of the interior as those of the seaboard—shall adopt the wo: ures and precautions necossary to keep, oul the discase, or at any rate to pre- vent its becoming epidemic. As one of the cities on the route nental travel Omaha is most divectly in- terested in this sub) ho tiken. Ho ross were (e nse A NON N VIEW, That excellent financizl authority, the New York Commercial Bullcting which cannot he said to be influénced partisanship, mentary reference management of the pry tiol Secretary Foster can afford to look back with a considerable de of satisfuction upon the way in which lio has extricated the treasury from the difficulties in which he found it oa the adjournmont of the Mifty- fivst congress immeaiately after his taking ofice. Ho not only found the balance low, but he found a maturing dett of $30,000,000 tobo met 10 Siptembor. Secret Win- aom had poured out the money so freely in the fall of 187 to avert financial stringency that the treasury was almost bare, and ono of Secretary IMoster's first acts was to sus- pend further redemptions of the 4 per cent bonds, which the government was under no obligation to redeew until 1907, Tu matters of finanee and business the Harrison administration has com- manded the approval of all who are competent to give an opinion upon such subjects. The attention of the presi- dent and his advisers has been fixed upon measures o promote the prosper- ity of tho country, the soandness of its financial standing and the highest in- terests of tho rrican people. There has been very iittle politics and a great deal of business in the administration upon which tho people of the United States are now usked to pass judgment. iis this highly compli- to the financ nt administra- THE COMBINE REACHING OUT. The absorption of the Boston & Maine railroad by the powerful Readiag sys- tem has given rise to much speculation concerning the purposos of the latter and many rumors of other deals in con- templation, by which the power of the great anthvacite coai combine is to be increased. Tho latest of these is the report that the Reading has o covetous eyo upon the great Pennsylvania rail- road, and a prominent railroad official is quoted assaying that such a deal is extromely probable. By this means tho Pennsylvania would conse to be the powerful competitor of the Reading that it now is and the latter would be able to regulate the anthracite coal business to suit itself. Public interest in the extension of the Reading system arises from the fact that unless the proceedings. at law now pending shall put a stop to the corner of the conl combine which is controlled by the Reading the efforts which it is making to throttle competition will place the public still more at its mercy than at present. That the coal barons Qo not anticipate any trouble from the law is indicated by their activity in reaching out for other roads and in their defiant and contemptuous com- ment upon the legal uction that has been talken against them. Speaking of the proceedings recently begun by the attorney general of New Jersey for the appoinument of w receivor for the Now Jersey Central, one of the voads in the deal, President McLeod of the Reading says that *the whole cuse is one of mere buncombe.”” No combination of capital for purposes of extortion hasever so0 roused the in- dignation of the people as this anthra- cite monopoly. The schedules are so ar- nged that the burden falis more heav- ily upon the poor than upon the rich, because a discrimination 18 made in fuvor of large corporations. This di: crimination is made to meet competi- tion with producars of bituminous coal, which can be more easily substituted for anthracite for use in manufactories than for domestic use. This feature of the schemo of extortion 18 most vicious and exasperating, and it is no wonder that it is everywhero resented in a spirit that would condemn the combine to utter destruction if public sentiment could have its way. Much depends upon the effocts which the attorney gen- eral of New Jersoy is making to compel the combine to relinquish its control of the railroads of that state, without whose co-operation it would be crippled. — THE SAVINGS BANKS. 1t appears by recent reports that the amount of devosits in the savings banks of the United States in 1800 was $1,550,- 000,000, or only #14.000,000 less than the ontire deposits of the national banks of the country. The depositors of this great sum of money number 4,238 893 people, the average smount per capita being $338, This money 1s not lying idle, but is invested in a thousand differs ent enterprises, and for this reason it is c'ear that the people who are putting their money into savings banks have a deep interest in the general prosperity of business in vhe United States. Upon the ability of the banks to profitably use the cash commisted to thelr keeping de- pends in o great degree the rate of in- torest to be derived by the ,depositor.

Sho does not see any danger in this country which cnn bo said to threaten the futuro exist ence of the stage, while 1n the fuct that there is an increasing number of theaters and of the itrical organizations shie finds proof of an increase in the pub- lic desive hera for theatrical perform- ances, But she draws a distinction be- tween the future of the stage and the future of dramatic art and dramatic literature, and she plainly does not think that the onitlook for the progross and the elevation of the art and lite ture of the stage is altogethor bri here, sub, considors trinsic vatuo a- t arly everybody at all familiae with the subject will agree with the distin- guished uctross, who has had fow peors in this generation ns un exponent of the dramatic ari, that the modorn system ot traveling stars and combinations is not promotive of the highest development of that art. Thero nothing more dotrimentul to the actor, siys Madamo Modjeska, nothing more injurious to the dvancement and development of his art, than the constant shifting on his t from ono place to the other, and, at is still worse, the run of the same Land weary reproduction of his art night after night, and his only de- sire is thut it may soon bo over. The tendency of this sort of thing is not only to destroy ambition, but to weaken talent and set it in a rat, and undoubt- odly many really gifted menand women who, under different conditions, might have contributed greatly to deawmatic art and won for themselves fame and fortune, have been utterly spoiled by tho traveling combination systom. Tho old stock company furnished not only n school in which taleni gained merited recognition, but'itisupplied a constant wncentive and stimulant to effort and improvement. Madame Modjeska believes that dramatic art will not advance in this country as it should vntil there are en- dowed theaters, and she observes that a few great actors and innumerable so- called stars and combinations cannot furnish opportunities for the develop- ment of dramatic literature. Of course she looks at the matter largely from the standpoint of a European education and experience, but that her conclusions are in the main sound will be conceded by all who have any considsrable kuowl- edge of the subject. 1f, however, drama- tic art and dramatic literature must wait for progress upon the endowed theater their advance will be slow in Ture rvepublican senatorial ticket in Douglas county is entitled to the un- divided support of the party. Mr. Isanc Noyes is o man of unblemished char- acter, recognized ability and experience as a law maker. He sorved two terms in the New York legislature with credit to himself and satisfaction 0 his con- stituents, He has been identified with the growth of Douglas county for fifteen yewrs und is today one of tho most pros- perous farmers in Nebraska. Mr. C. O. Lobeck and Mr. Charles Clarke are young business m®n who enjoy the confi- dence and esteem of the mercantile classes. As a commercial traveler and merchant Mr. Lobeck has always main- tained o high reputation for integrity and enterprise. Mr. Clarke, as the head of the large wholesalo concerns of Henry T. Clarke & Co., has manifestad executive ability of a high oider and will, if elected, prove a valuable worker for the interests of Omaha. Tk transformation of Capitol hill through the grading of Douglas street and the cross streets between teenth and Twentieth streets, will soon baflle the oldest inhahitant to recogni: of tho landmarks that char this loculity in the early days. When Dodge street follows suit and the last steep grades ave lowered the revolution will be complete, and the steep nscent to the higher lovel of Capitol square will make all that portion of the tity available for retall traffic. Ten years hence, when Omaha has a population of 250,000, Farnam, Douglas and Dodge streots will presegtp solid array of busi- ness blocks, hotels, club houses, thoa- ters and music halls all the way up to Twenty-fifth street. 7'his is no more incredible than hay been the movewment of business blocks-f0 upper Farnum. — THE supoly of winter apples in New Yorlk is shoret and: this encourages us to hope that the republicans who own orchards in thatstate will not stay from the polls this year on account of an apple picking or ¢ider making carnival, S—te—— Changes of Centur!

To vote for Weaver in this state 1s to vote as tho democrats want them to, 10 fact it is to vote as tho democrats themselves intend to do. They fina themselves in a singular predic: ment. The uew pagty to which they havo proressed allegiance demands thut they shall vote in & way that will aid in the restora- tion of democracy to power. The Times lieves that the concition is one in which patriotism will ovorcome party prejud and thet when these men quietly ‘valk into toeir little booths they will vote for the Hur- rison electors.

The democrats and the people’s party in Oregon have united, upon the basis of two clectors from each side, At the clecuion last year the republican plurality was only 2,560, while the labor party polled over 12,000 votes. The republi- cans werd in & minority of 15,000 ou tho total vote, With a thorough fusion of all the anti- republican voters the Harrison electors can o beaten in Oregon. The effort is at least worth making. In Nebrasks tho proposition to combine with the alliance 1s still under constderation by the democrats. T'nare can be no doubt that the electoral vote of the state can be civen to Weaver if the fusion is agreed to and honestly carried out. This woula be more than half a victory for the democrats, It would deprive the repubiican candidates of eight electorsl votes, which migbt pre- vent their election. The penple’s party and the farmers alli- auce have nothing to hope for in the nation if Presiaont Harrison is ro-olected. They could aL ieast ket relief from oupressive tariff t xes, and benefits in other directious, if the democrats secure csntrol of the gov- ernment, ‘I'he democrats in the debatable western states would psy a high price for preserving toeir regularity in giving up tbeir states hopelessly 10 the republicans. ‘The main thing is to beat the republicans. Success is a duty, And fusion as @ means to suu becomes a duly also. e W& BUILD THE LADDER. J. G. Holiand.
