'HERE has been a good deal of ac- tivity in the jewelry line in this city re- ceutly, but the activity has been per- nicious and not profitable to the mer « chant. THIS city has a ditcher which does too much work. Thisditcher'is a machine, not a man. No such fault has ever been found with any human employe of Omaha. THE Georgia legislature evidently thought the democratic platform meant just what it said and itis opening its doors for the entrunce of the wildcat ‘bank again, THE chattel mortgago business Is aot flourishing in Omaha just now. This gratifying fact comes to us from parties who deplore the awful depression in the 10-par-cent-a-month money lending business. J. 8. CLARKSON has had himsolf ad- vortised far and wide as a candidate for the Iowa senatorship. J. S. Clarkson has done a larger business on a smaller amount of capital than any man in American nolitics. CAPRIVI ought to have been called to order as not speaking to the question. Abuse of Bismarck is not justification of his pressgang sclieme for taking thou- sands from the pursuits of progressive industry and attaching them to the military galleys. SourH OMAHA i8 puzzled over the question, “Who is the chief of police?” This cenflict of authority is most annoy- ing and favites crime in that city. It would seem that the mayor pro tem ought to have been more certain of the Jegality of his act of removal before he undertook it. JURY duty is one of the highest re- sponsibilities of citizenship and, though like 80 many other duties it is some- what irksome, it should be cheerfully nssumed.

CHILDS states in a recent article thut the aid rendered by him to women has been more gratifying in its effects than that rendered by him to men., This would seem to dispel the common belief that women are more fickle in their gratitude than men. M, Childs bas certainly had experience enough in this matter to be regarded as authority. eEme———————— Jupar Davis did a commendable thing in calling attention to the care- lessnoss of the county commissioners in the matter of providing jurfes, It ap- pears from the statement of the judge that tho loosest possible methoa pre- vails in taking names from the poll books, the commissioners apparently re- garding the very important matter of drawing mén for jury servico as a duty which wuy be performed in the most perfunctory manner. It is to be hoped that the merited scoring which Judge Davis gave the commis sloners will have the wholesome effect intended. Indifference in & matter of this sort is culpable, THE rapid increase 1n the popularity of foot ball and the decline in the publie interest in base ball affords a curious @ . fltustration of the fickleness of those who “patronize public sports. Nebraska is not slow to fall into line with the fads of the ~_day, and tho men whoshine in the game foot ball arc now as much idolized anin theeast. The experiencs of the past year has demonstrated that "base ball has for the presont ceased to ¥ vopular.

Undoubtedly no question could be much more vital to interests than the one sug- Tairvs, aad it is important from a political as well as a commercial point of view. It hus been suggested that it i: high time for our governmeut to pay some attention to the Monroe doctrine in connection with the aggressive poiicy of commercial conquestin this hemisphere by European countries, but that doctrine hardly ap- plies to the situation. At any rate it might be dangerous to attempt to give it wpplication, Obviously the wis safer course will be to find a prac way of meeting’the subsidized fore competition and of giving proper coupagement to the construction of American steamship lines. This will necessurily 1nvolve a liberal policy in mail compensation by the government. No plan that does not embrace this can be made effective, om isco to ners in th the an. is not Wi lan opposition subve in, en- OMAILA AS A JOBBING CENTER. The Owaha manager of R G. Dun & Co.’s commercial agency, Mr. W. H. Roberson, takes a very hopeful view of the future of the wholesule business in this city. The logic of his argument, ed upon the experience of other cities that have become great commor- cial centers by reason of their situation with respect to sources of trade, is abso- lutely convincing. The jobbing trade of Omaba was almost nothing fifteen v not because there was not enterprise and energy behind i%, but because rival cities, with Chicago at the head, were pusaing hard for the business to which Omaha, by virtue of her locution, was clearly entitled. The wholesale merchants of this city had to compete with those of Chicago, Kan City, St. Joseph, St. Louis and other towns which had previously entered the field, and the struggle for business was a hard ono in those days. Now the Omahe jobbor reigns supreme in the territory maturally tributary to this city. One of the largest wholcsale houses in this city, which at that time was glad to do a business of §230,000 a year, is now selling noarly $2,000,000 worth of goods annually. There are six houses engaged in the grocery jobbing business in Omaha which claim to have done $8,000,000 worth of busiuess during 1891, In other jobbing lines there has also been great advancement and there is promise of still move rapid growth in the [uture, It is stated by good authorities that notwithstanding the large wholesule trade of the merchants of this city they do not do ono-third of the business transacted in that line in the state of Nebrask Mr. Roberson pluces the jobbing sales of *Omana in this stite at 30,000,000 for the prosent year and pro- dicts that in twelve years they will reach £70,000,000 without taking any account of the dovelopment of the state, by which tho figures may be doubled. It is not difficuly, therafore, he says, to understand how the jobbing trade of this citysAf confined to Nebraska, may be quadrupled io ten yewrs, That it is not confined to this state is well known, It extends into audjacont states und territories, and is constanily being spread over a wider field. There is practically no limit to the possibilities of its growth, — THE CAR FAMINE, Railrond officials and grain dealers deny positively that u car famine oxists in this stite. Thoy point to the fact that the railway yards in this city are filled with empty cars and assert that the local demand for cars 1s less than is usual at this soason of the year. In explanation of the alleged lack of cars it is stated that the railroals are diseriminating against the “‘track buy- rs” and in favor of the elevator men in order that the business miy ba thrown into the hands of the lattes It is easior to handle the trade of the ele- vators than that of the small buyers, and the idea appears to be that if the latter cannot secure shipping facilities the tarmors will be obliged- to sl to the | olavator propristors, which would give the sama amount of businnss to tho rail- ronds with less trouble in leading tho | grain, It is impossible to- detecthine at | present how much justico there is in the charge that the railroad companiss are puvsuing this poiic but the evidenco goes to show t the car shortage of which 80 muc complaint is made is due to the unwil- lingness of the compunies Lo provide cars for the small bugy I'he statement of the grain men that the new crop of corn is not yet vegin- ning to move is surorising.

The democrats will hardly be compelled to issue new bonds to mect the obligations of the government. They will find, romarked the sec thut the finan- ‘ial end of the gover t has been conducted in astraightforward, busines like manner, and v o he was not pre- pired w make public at that time the amount of the surplus, he stated that it would be sufficiently large to disappoint those who have continually aceused the secretary of the tr of juggling W concealing the corn At tilronds are com- Tho an: profess reg national ty upen the wonder of the s as to where the money was obtained to ) the mill woving, Foster said they appear to roiten that tho revenues have »d more than $15,000,000. Then there is the reserve fund in the national banks in addition to the unexpended balance in the custody of the various disbursing officers throughout tho pub- lie service. By providing that theso officers should draw only what they actually needed the secrvetary of the treasury was enabled to obtain more than $20,000,000 to mect such demands as might be made upon the treasury. There ave still other small resources which the practical head of the treasury knew how to use to the bast advantage. Secretary Iloster did not think any new bonds would be issued, for the reason that no party wants to take the respon- sibility of increasing the public debt. The statement of the secrotary of tho “treasu will be reassuring to the country. That the democrats will find, when they come into control of the gov- ernment, that the vational treasury has been conducted under vhis adwministra- tion in un absolutely straightforward and signally businesslike manner there is nota shudow of doubt. President Hur- rison was fortunate in his sclection of the heads of vhe financial department of the government. Secretary Windom was one of the ablest financiers the country has had, and Secretary Foster has shown himself to be possessed of the qualities nccessary to a safo and con- servative management of the affairs of the treasury, a tasi far more arduous than most people have any conception of. A democratic secrotary of the treas- may adopt somo different method from that in vogue to state the condition of the public accounts. but that is a comparatively trifling matter, and we do not anticipate that Mr. Cleveland will find anybody to administer the affairs of the national tremsury who will do it moroe creditably in all respects than it has been done under the present admin- istration. have DEFENSIVE PREPARA The pid growth of the military power of France, which has at no time been allowed to stop since the close of tho Franco-Prussian war twenty yeurs ago, is not without its effect upon Germany. For some time past Emperor William _has besn demanding an in- cronse in the standing army of that country, and his recent address upoa the opening of the Reichstag showed that his heart is fixed upon the project of making the German military estab- lishment stronger than it now is, though it is already one of the most formidable in the world. He said that the develop- ment of the military power of the other statos of Europe imposed upon Germany “the serious and evan imperative duty, on one side, of 1gthening the de- fensive capacity of the empire by drastic measuves,” The tremendous military equipment of France, in wh fabulous sums of money have been expended sinco 1872, has not failed to attraet the attention of the nation that is more likely to feel its force than uny other in Europe. Pegeo now prevails batween the two countries, but the German emperor knows very well that the preseat relations may bo disturbed at any time. The “drastic meusures” which he says must be re- sorted 1o if necessary in adding to the power of Germany's standing avmy will not be very welcome to the people who | will have to sustain them. Great mili- tary establishments are the chief curse of Kuropsan nations, and there is no likelihood that the curse will ever be wbated. Every step in advance taken by oune calls fora similur step by the others. E— CHARTER REVISION. The charter revision committee is now organized. The task belfore it is | ane that will require mature delibera- tion and harmonious cqoperation with the Douglas county™ delogation 1n the legislature. v The expericuce with former charter revisions has taught this city several costly lessons, Clashing interests have mutilated charters through the con- nivance of cosrupt legislators and in OVEM sovornl instances, notably during the lasy session, thevchartor was vutched with nmendm6li 6 at the last hour of the ses810n just 10 sphte Omaha. If all the seuttons that need revision aro fully disctigdbd and framed with care before tha, legislature begins its session the intevests of the taxpayers can bo fully prdtifited.

Agninst such mutilations it will bas the of the charter committee to provide all possible safeguards. It is doubtful whethor anything can be gained by employing a chaiter Tohby « i t will counteranct the anti-charter achemers, The fuct is that tha Douglas delegation is in duty bound to conztitute itaclf as such com- mittes and sce to it that the charter is introauced early and given fair play on its passage through the legislature, ‘I'hat will place the responsibility where it properly belongs. revision vision howeve [N order to bo consistent a democratic admimsteation will have to abundon reciprovity, so far as it may bo found practicable to do so, but if the American people can be inducxd to intelligentiy consider what has boon accomplished unded reciprocal treaties they will not readily assent to the abandonment of that policy. According to oflivial figures, while in 1800 the United States exported to Austrin-Hungary but $945,000 of m chandise the exports to that country ir 1892 reached $1,527,000, oven while the dutiable importsfrom that country de- ereased from $8,500,000 to $5,000,000. In the same way the exports to Germany incrensed from $85,000,000 to $105,000,~ 000, while the imports decreased from 308,000,000 to $32,000,000, In 1800 the exports to all the countries now embraced in the reciprocity system wore of avalue of $129,000,000, while in 1892 the sales of merchandise to those coun- tries amounted to about 138,000,000, Yet during the same period the dutiable imports from those countries dec from $168,000,000 to $51,000,060. T to say, the reciprocity system, while giving to American manufacturers a new home market for over $85,000,000 of home products, has newly opened the foreign market to nearly 20,000,000 of American merchandise. Surely a policy that has pfduced such results is neither a sham nor u humbug, and any party that proposes ta deprive the nation of such advantages will taxe a great risk of losing populae sypport. ased A rusLic market house will create a better market for fresh garden stuff, onhance the value “of suburban vacant innds, and make living Dbetter and cheaper for workingmen and all’ con- sumers. i David's Caution, Washington Post.

The rerular press dispatches an- nounced today thav a vestibuled train loaded with citizens of Bloowington, Iil., would escort Adlai Stevenson to Washington for the inauguration and that 100 uniformed members of the Randall club of Philadelpbia would march in the procession escorting Grover Cleveland from the capitol to the white house. Scarcely a day hins passed sinco it became known that Clevoland and Stevenson were clocted that some picturesquo feature for the inauguration has not been announced.
