In his address to the populists e congratulates them upon what they accomplished, with the aid of the demoerats, in carrying sevoral states, and takes a most hopeful view of the future. When it is remembered what largo claims the presidentinl ¢ idate of ihe third purty mude in the early pavt of his campaign, before his eyes were opened to the impossibility of get- ting an clectoral vote in the south, it is somewhat sucprising to find him satis- fied with such small results. Every in- telligent populist must know that the suceess of nis party was due in neacly overy case to fusions with democrats or free slver republicans, and that the support from these sources was not given as an endorsement of the cardinal prin- ciples of the third party. Iivary demo- crat who voted in the west for Weaver clectors is us strong in the democratic faith now he cver was, and the froe silver republicans in the silvor states who voted with the populists did not thereby intend to approve ths sub- treasury and fiat money schemes of that third party. This support gave to tho party an apparent strangth which it will not bo able to show again under the changed conditions reasonably to be expeeted in the near future. S0 far as the south is concerned populist party is practioally dead. solute democratic domination soction is assured for at least the next four years and the new administration will do its utmost to make it so strong that a solid south can ba counted on as reasonably cectain in tho next presi- dential eloction. The populist idea that it may be broken on the silver question is vory sure to be disappointad, bacause that question will doubtless be disposed of within the next four years and there- fore will not be an issue in the presi- dential campaign of 1896, This will ) far to settle the fate of the popu- lists in the west, for a considerable part of thestrength of the party is this sec- tion was due to its advocacy of the freo and unlimited coinnge of silver. Very fow voters in the west favor its other currency plans and the mors thay are dizeussed the less support thoy will have, The very groat majority of wastern poo- plo want a sound and stable curroncy, and not u currency deprecinting in pur- chasing power from week to weok, as would be the case with unlumited issues of paper direct from the government, I'he populists will gain no adherents from this class of people. ieneral Weaver is mistaken if he be- lioves the ropublican party has been al- most annihilated, but his criticism of the democracy shows a cosract uppro- clation of the charackar of thay pilitical organization, and it is beciusa of this the vepublican part; e 8 wel be priven the Ab- of that also character that still stunding for principles and policies which have made the United Stites one veinl powers of the eavth, will ¢oatinua to oxist and will be again intrusted with the control of the government. Whea the people shall have had a lesson in democratic supremacy the republican party will be restored to power by a re- action more swaeping aud decisive than that the country has just wit. nessed, and when that time comes the populist party will be little more than a memory. —_— CHARTER AMENDMENTS, The upithy of Omiha citizens in im- portant public matters is sometimes ox- usperating, Itis but six weeks until the legislature will convene, and unless amore profuund interest i3 awakened than now exists the Douglas county delegation will go to Lincoln, as usual, with only a chuotic notion of the wants of tho people in regard to charter amendments. The chief ason for these blennial amendments is found in public indifferance until the legislative sessionis nearly over, when it is suddenly discovered that something unsatisfac- tory is likely to occur. We are then willing to get together, but the late bours of the session make the work of amendment necessarily hurried. Asa result each amendod charter has been loaded at the last wmoment with some provisios eutirely al variwnce with pub- THE _OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY.

In this way it ed interest enough can be aroused 1z important amendments to the We shall hope lator to see a of ropresentative citizons avp d by a public meeting of our best people, to formulate our amend- ments and proceed to Lincoln, if noed be, to aid the delegation in pushing the bill covering the charter amendments through that body early in the session, The ion will cheerfully support iy monsure which crystallizes public sontiment, and the citizens of Omaha owe it to their good nams, as well as to tho le lature, to agree at an oarly date upon such propsr and nccesst amendmonts to the charter as shall remove its erudities and strongthen its power for good to the community Thore are a number of flat contrad tions in the present instrament and soveral ambiguous sections. For stance, the powers of the Boa Health are so indefinitely set forth as to muke it impossible to comply with the tter of the law.

These nre only a few of the many amendments which are needed. Le citizens hestir themselves at once upon this important matter and aid The B in reaching the composite result which should bo the guide of the legis lative delegation and be immediately accepted by the delegation itself. 1f Omuha citizens agree as to the amend- ments no opposition need be anticipated from the state at large. contribute to views upos the is ho present SOUTHERN 1.DUSTRIAL MENT. In spite of the fact that immigration tends almost wholly towara the west, while the population of the south is nug- monted only by the natural iucrease of her peovle, the southern states have done a great deal during the past ten years to eatablish u reputation for busi- ness enterprise and productiveneas, Compared with the progress of the west that of the south seems slow, and yet there has been a stendy growth in muny sections of the south in recent years. This is due in great measure to the enterprise of northern capitalists who have found promising fields of activity there and have built up a new industrial life upon the ruins that were loft by tho war. “Tho pride of the American people in the prosperity and progress of the coun- try is not much aftected by sectional in- tere sts or prejudices, and it is to be pre- sumed that the revival of productive industries in the old south is observed with satisfaction everywhere. But for social conditions which have unfortu- nately prevented that section from being filled up with industrious and thrifty home-seekers, as the west has been, the record of growth in the south would have been much more brilliant than it is; but it is by no means a record to be ashamed of. The money loss to the south by tho war is estimated as high as $5,000,000,000, which is $1,500,000,000 more than the total amount invested in manufacturiog in the United States at the last census. It is pertinently suggested that if somo disaster should completely destroy the manufucturing enterprises of the country and uttorly wips out the cap- ital thus invested it would ba possible to form some idea of the which the southern states sustained by the war. It is conclusive testimony to their powers of recuperation that they are now rapidly accumulating werlth and building up extensive industrial enterprises, notwitnstanding that much of the vigor and industry underiying their present progress is from the northorn states. The iron inaustry has perhaps madoe grouter strides in the south during the past few years than any other. In 1881 vthat entire section of the country mide only 451,540 tons of pig iron, while the output for the rest of the country was 4,190,024 tons, In 1801 the south made 1,914,042 tons and the rest of the United States 7,859,- 418 tons. It will be seen that the growth, both actual and relative, was zreat. Tho ontput of coal from southe orn mines in 1801 was more than 23,000, 000 tons, compared with 6,000,000 tons in 1881, The cottonseed mills have in- creased 10 number from forty in 1851 to 200in 1891, and their capital has i creased from $3,500,000 in the former year to $30,000,000 in the latter year. Many other industries have grown in like manoer and there is an excelleat prospect that they will continue to prosper. The south needs a little mors industry and vigor, needs move of the snap and vim that characterize the west, but even now the spirit of pro- gress is gaining ground in that section. —_—— CONGRES. The second and short session of the Fifty-second congress will begin Decem- ber 5. It promises to be uncommonly interesting. The question now being agitated of & special session of the Pifty-third congress will probably be determined by the action taken at the closing session of this congress regard- ing certain features of the tariff and in makiog provition for eaubling the treasury to imeet its obligations. It is saia that there is impending dinger of the financiul department of the govern- ment becoming embarrassed befose the vegular time of meeting of the new congress unless the present one pro- vides increased reveoues for the ex- IMPROVE- enorimous loss | to support proposals of this pensesof the ggvornment. This the democratic housa may attempt to do by reducing dutiew’ on certain articles, thereby increasingd’ their impo.tation, and perhaps by nestoring sugars to the list of dutiab'e artitles and abandoning the paymont of bounties. [t is thought to be not improbabie that republicans enough in the sshate could ba induced character to through congress, but it is entively safe to prettict that such legis- Iation would encounter defsat at the hands of the prasident Nothing is more cortain than that Hae- vison would a measura restoring @uties on suzars now frae, anl be could not consistently give his app-oval to of the plans of the demosracy rding tho tariff so far as thase hive developed. He can b relied upon not to do anything to changs the fiscal policy of the government establishod by the republican party and to which he is as fully committod as any other republi- can, Tt would seem well assured, therefore, that nothing will bs accomplished by the present congross’ regarding the tarifl, or at any rato nothing that would inereasg the rovenues of the government Admitting this to bo tho situation, the question of a special session of the new congress is manifestly one for ssrious consideration, and it appoars to by re- celving enrnest attention from the demo- cratic leadors, So far as they have ex- pressed thoms however, there is radical difforenco of opinion as to the necessity or expediency of ealling an extra session of the Kifty-third con- gress, and it is doubtful on which side the weight of opinion is at present. The number of democrats is nndoubtediy large who beliove that the party ought to respond as promptly us possibie to what they reeard as the ‘popular de- mand for a revision of the tarviff. [’er- haps there is an equal number who think it inexpedient to hastily disturb and unsettle the industrial intorests of the country and that it will be better from a party voint of view to give those interests timo to prepare for what is ex- pected, which they may be able to do 1f tariff revision is not effected until fif- tecn or eighteen months henco. It is possible that Mr. Cleveland will defer to what shall appear to be the predo: nating desire in the party, but it is not likely that his views will be made known until after he is inaugurated. He knows what he must encounter from the importunities of the politicians and pass a bhill esidant veto lves, office seelers during tho opening months of his administration, and he is very likely to take this into account in de- termining the question of an extra ses- sion of congress. The democrats are confronted with a'delemma which can- not fail to prove a souree of «auch per- plexity to them. —_— THE statement that at u meeting of the presidents of alli the seabourd trunk lines of rallroad it was decided to ignore the interstate commuree law and return to the plan of husiness in vogue before that law went into efect, is important if true. It avpears/from the dispatch that this decision was reached as offering the only way to mmntain rates, and it is suid that the presidents are hopeful that the law will not bo’ rigorously enforced against them, It is hatdly credible tl men at the head of great railroad entor- prises subject to the power of congress to regulate interstate commerce would thus deliberately agree to disregurd a law of the government, yet such an ar- rangement is quite possible. If it has been made and there is a serious at- tempt to carry it out there will be pre- sented a direct conflict between the cor- porations and the government which must be met only in one way. The pub- lic will earnestly demand that the roads be compelled to comply with the law. Assuming the report to be correct, it implies a deliberately planned and for- midable conspiracy to destroy the inter- state commerce law, and this the people of the country will firmly and with greal unanimity resist. The claim that the roads cannot maintain rates under the operation of the act is manifestly n mere pretext. If the seaboard trunk lines were allowed to carry out their re- ported purpose there would, of course, be an end to all regulation and the law would become a dead letter. It bold mov these railroad pr dents are suid to have determined upon and it must be vigorously dealt with, s a funny row in Chiengoover the distribution of the spoils, Both Carter Hurrison of the Zimes and Washington Hesing of the Stauts Zeilung wish the democratic nomination for wayor, but the Zimes is energetically beoming Hesing for a foreign appoint- ment for an obvicus reason.

A report was circulatea at the capitol av noon of the day when Mr. Randall died that be was sinking and thatthe end might bs expected at any momant. A messenger was dispatched to the Randall rasidence by the speaker for the purpose of learning the patient’s true condition.
