SOMETIING should be done by Omaha itizens toward securing such amend- ments to the reveunuc law as shall make it possible to assess city property equita- bly, sensibly und in such a way ns shall not force Omaha proverty owners to pay more toward tho expenses of the stato than their due proportion. Some Doug- las county statesman immortalize himself by solving thisintricate problem. THERE I8 a great deal of angry wrangling going on between Towa demo- erats on tho silver question as the cause of their late defeat. For tho past three yoears their state conventions have placed a free silver plank in the piat- form simply to catch votes and please certain froo silver democratic editors. At tho Boies convention in May at Council Blufts they adopted a double- ender silver plank, whilo at their state convention at Davenport, held in Au- gust, they ignored the silver quostion entirely. This is now said to have lost them votes which went to Weuver and the silver papers ure calling upon tho next convention to put that free silver plank back. This will meet the bitter opposition of sensible and influential papers liko the Davenport Democrat, and the split on that question next year will loso them more votes th.n the repub- licans will lose to the prohibitionists, T ——— Tue present state of the general pub- lic conecienco does not seem to favor ubsoluto purity and freedom from guile in the profession of tho politician. In the stato of New York they thought they had fo evor disposed of britery at elections when thoy passed what is lknown as the “‘corrupt practices act,” which requires candidates to report therr election expenses under oath, It scows to be casy enough to get arouna the provisions of this law. Many of the candidates are known to have spent a groat deal more moyey than they have sworn to und in some cases tho reports gliven are sbsurdlylow. Last year Goy- ornor Flower reported that he had paid Tor his election expenses only 85,000, but ft 18 belioved by those who ought to know that his election cost him nearer #60,000, He no doubt told the truth technically, as many others have doune, but violated the spirit of the law. Itsomehow seems 10 be cousidered fair to do these things in politics, but thatis because conscionce does not enter into the case, The law that will prevent the improper use of mooey in elections Bus uot yel been io- ented those who believe that the popular will in the choice of ropresentatives is in danger of defeat to bring n contest, but they must do this in the proper way ns it is elearly pointed out by the luws, NUPPRESSION OFOBSCENE LITERATURE Action was taken yesterday toward the suppression of a disreputable busi ness that has for o long time heen car- ried on in the streets of this city with- out hndr ive boys ongaged in selling u disreputable sheot published in Chicago and sent hero for civculn- tion wore arvosted and locked up by virtuo of an ordinanes prohibiting the sale, distribution, having in posscssion or giving away of papershranded by tho authorities as immoral. It is stated by the city prosecutor that it has been determined. that the sale of such literature in this city shall ‘be promptiy and effectively stamped out. It isto besaid tothe cred Omaba that the sheet in question i a local product, though it deals in sen=ationnl and scandalous matter fur- mshed to it from this eity. "ho scheme is by no means a now one; it nas been practiced in almost eve y city of importance in the country. ONensive storiea, bused usually upon nothing, ave worked up by a loeal représentative of tho pay and by using the names of woll known citizens attontion is easily attracted and sales effected by those who haw!k them about the streets. The sellers of such literature, being usually voung and iguovant, arve far less to blame than the unprineipled men who publish 11, and it isa pity that the latter cannot bo made to suffer instead of the former. The course taken by the authovities, however, isto be com- mended, as it will certainly put a stop to the sale of such vile stuff under the guiso of a newspaper. All that is necessary is that the vigilance of the potice shall not be reluxed, und that tho present movement shall uot prove to be one of those temporary spusms of virtue su often witnessed in every com- munity. It is no excuse for the circulation of indecent and scandalous liternture to say that it would not bv offered for salo if the people did not want it. torm of vice ean bo defended upon that old und oxploded ples. Itis to bo re- gretted that such swif finds buyers, but that docs notalter the case, 1t is due to the good name of the city that it be sup- pressed, not for nduy, but for all time. RELATIONS OF DEBTOR AN CREDITOR, A subjeci that often enguges the at- tention of business men is the responsi- bility resting upon creditors, and par- ticularly upon banks, in cases where debtors ure in financial embavrassment and are dependent vpon the lenioney of those who hold thelr paper. A husiness man, und especially one who is engaged io & manufacturing enterprise thut has been built up from small begiuningsand is in u general way upon a sound basi may often win his way out of financi difficuitios if he is treated with consid- eration Ly those to whom he is under money obligations. The bunks more often than the private apprelensive of loss when ercditors of this cluss are unable to promptly meot their obligations, and in ma.y begin procecdings to protect themsel ves without much thought of the disastrous conscquences to interests of furreach Every italist bhecome ing importance in the community. Itjs | not to be expected that there will be o great deal of sentiment in transactions of this nature and it would not be rea- sonable to ask a lender of noney, whether a banking corporation or u pri- vate individual, to unselfishly sustain loss in order that the intevests of others might not be injured; but it is undeniae blo thut u discreet leniency may be vrofitably excrelsed in cases where man of concaded honesty and ability are en- deavoring to safely pull through a busi- ness upon which many interests besides their own ave dependent. Probably the banking institution never existed whose board of dircetors could agrec upon a policy to be pursued in such cases Coctain fixed priveiples and metheds are usually preseribed and tho ofticers act upon’ thew, perbaps sometimos against their own judgment, when the nccessily of summary stops is by no weuns urgent. This is, of course, in wsliict sense, & private waller in friend of this form of child trair dissen 8 endorscment and by ¢ candidutes of that convention the peo- istances | teus.

The pec linr facvin relation to this year's corn cropis that the seven principal corn stales, Nebruska, Kansas, Missouri, Towa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, pro- dueo a largor average per acre thanuny of the others, while the a is consid- ecably reduced, being only 89 per cont of that of last year: yet on tho othor hand the falling off in the whole country is less than & per cont from last year In other words, the ncreaso in acres is in those states where the yield is small, and the decreaseis in the corn belt, where the yield is large. As the grenter part of the corn that goes upon the market is produced in the scven stutes wbove named, the general searcity or abundance depends gieatly upon their product. The totil estimated yie'd, s now given, which witl not be much changed in the final revorts, is 1,600,- 000,000 bushels for the whole country Lust year it was 2,074,000,000 bushels, In the samo report the whent yicld is placed at 500,600,000 bushols, or 000,000 less than Inst year, A subject of conxiderable interest to the furmer is the comparative supply of oats and hay. The yield of onts is re- ported to be very short, baing four and one-half bushels per acre less than it was inst year, while the average hus never been lower but oneo during the t seventeen years. Tho quality is also doficient on account of light weight and chafly grain. It is therefore inter- esting to note that the hay crop is cqual 1 tho large vield of 1801, tho scuson having been especially favoruble for grasses on account of the unusually abundant vains of the early months The abundance of hay and the scarcity of onts will 1o some extent influence the priccs of each in the market. The average of oals par ¢ in some portions { Nebrask: has beon lnrge this your, :cording to local reports, nud the eval yicldin this state is undoubtodly good. The potato supply has an interest for ull classes and conditions of peopio, and particularly for tho poor, who usually depend more upon this article of diet thau any othor. The present price of potatoes, as everybody kuows, is ex- tremely high. Owaha cousumers ure buying thein at retail at about a dollar a bushel as against 35 or 40 cents last year. There 1s little reason to exnpect that they will be cheaper, in view of the short crop repo-ted all over the coun- try. The average yicld per aucre is placed at 62 bushels as against 0 bushels last year. The average yield for ten years ending with 1850 was 80 bushels per acre. Nobraska Las fared no better in her potato yield this year than most of the other states, nnd as the price is high everywhere and transpor- | wly shown to be just and neces- sary will not fail to receive the caveful corsideration of the next legislature. We invite the attention of our ders interested in this subject to the views of citizons to which reforence is here made, THE INDIANS AT PINE RIDGE. The New York Eremng Post publishes an - interesting 'letter from Elaine Goodale Fastman, duted at Pine Ridgo ney D., in which the writer dis- cusses the Indian situation at that piace atconsiderable length and withapparent knowledgo of the facts. While sho denies thut there is any reason to appre- hend an uprising of the Indians she betrays ail through her letter the fact that sho regards tho situation as very far from what she could wish it to be. Mrs. Bastman, it will be rememberod, W lilnine Goodule, the rising young poetess, before she married an educated Sioux Indian. and resigned horsolf to domestic caves ynd the interests of the vace with which she is now allied. Iier opportunities for' observation couid hardly be bettor than they are, and her views are therefore of some consequence. Much of Mrs, Eastman’s letter is devoted to the Indian agent problem, which has been discussed a great deal during the past fow years and which was the subject of logislation by congress last winter. In her vemarks upon this subject she says: “*Dr. McGillycuddy, the famous ex-agent of the Pine Ridge Sioux, made us a visit not long nzo and soon after he went ay Tie Oyana Beg printed a long interview in which be was veported as prophecying serious trouble. 1 agree with him only so far as to be willing to admit that, as he ys, the condition of affairs at Pine Ridge is far from satisfuctory.” ‘The interview in question oniy repra- sented that the situation was unsatis- factory and that the Indians were re- turning to their old practice of ghost dancing, Upon the latter point Mrs, astman says tho dancing does prevail extensively and that *‘the scheming and disaffected minority has grown bolder, rile among the better cluss many are profoundly dissatisfied with the local administration But putting aside the question of a posgible uvrising of the Indinns in the viemity of Pino Ridge, it is interesting to note that thero is opposition to the employment of army oflicers as Indian agonts. It is made to appear that some of tl d men look upon the appoint- ment of military agents as only a step toward the full control of the Indians by the War department. This idea, it is held, does not commend itself to the nation’s wards, becauso it is suggoestive of control by armea force. Tui Bei has from the ontscet favored the policy of putting the agencies in charge of army oflicors as offering the surest means of n more perfect control of the nation’s wards, and while thie policy cannot be said to have advanced beyond the experimental stige it has many features to fommend it. Toero is no proof at hawd which would argue thut under the old ‘system a batter con- dition of affairs would prevail at Pine Ridge. Miuny of the triigic collisions between the government ‘and its wards have been directly traceable to the duplicity and folly of the agents, This has been no less true in‘tho case of tho Sioux than in that of the Cheyennes and Araprhoes, nud thi uncasiness now pre- vailing among tho latter on account of the alleged lackof sullicient provisions is an element in the problem of Indian wanagement whicli demands attention, T movement inaugurated by Chief of ¢ Seavoy of this eity to form an association of the heads of police de- partments throughout the United States is on undertaking so practical and sensible that it is a wonder it has been deluyed so long. Unlike many organ- izations of similar character, the one proposed would be, if rightly managed, conducive to the general public weifaro. Phe effectivensss of the police depart- ments of the various cities, in which all law-abiding peoplo are interested, would undoubtedly be promotod by the intorchange of idens and the compar- | ison of methods and vesults which are stood to be umong the principal objeets of the association, Ths suppres- sion of erime is only mccomplished by Suggesting o New Deal, Globe Democrat, In the vepablican national conventic 1806 an entire new set of men will fizure, Noue of the men who were prouiuent in the conventions of 1558 or 1802 will have any chance to carry off auy of the prizes four rears hence.
