THE high price of hogs at South Omaha has stirrea up the farmersof Ne- braska, and overy one of them that has a fat porker is making haste to take ad- vantago of the booming market, THose Kansas City merchants who came to Nebraska in the interest of trade oxtension were cordially wel- comed, but they found that Omuha was thoroughly awake on the subject of trado. CorToN “futures” fell off 15 points aftor the anti-option bill had been twice called up in the senate and then laid aside, but this does not prove that the enactment of the measure would not check speculation. WHEN Senator Ingalls says that the republican party is ‘‘without leaders and without hope,” it is to be feared that he has been too much influenced by the situation in Kansas. Te should take & broader and more hopeful view, IT REQUIRED more than 100 years of agitation and effort to bring apout the enforcement of the present efficient and perfect public voad system in England and France. It 15 about timo for this country to begin work in the same direction. THE New York health officer is seiz- ing all the rags that come into that port from tho cholera-infected cities of furope. This is right, and it is to be hoped that the policy will bo continued. Immigrants ave not the only carriers of contagion. NEBRASKA does not appear to have a monopoly of the men who blow out the gns when they reiire at hotels. An Iowa young man porished by that means in a Chicago hotel the other night. It is strange that poople are so slow to learn tho dnngerous nature of gas. SOME curious notions are entertained by journals that have a special interest in the wheat trade. For example, the Min- neapolis 7'ribune says: **Speculation is the life and soul of the wheat trade. Kill that spirit of adventurs and there 18 nothing for it but to drop back into the theory of sunply and demand.” Can there be any better regulator of trade than supply and demand? AN VE traftic is carried on in the way of smuggling from Canada into this country, and the business appears 0 be especially prosperous at Buffalo. It is impossible for the authorities there to keep a continuous watch whole river ¢«front. The opportunities for smuggling goods into the United States from Canada are numerous and tempting and there are plenty of men to take advantage of them. THERE has not been u]..gm applica- tlon for space in vhe liye stock depart- ment of the California World’s fair ex- - hilat, notwithstanding that that state is ® great breeding ground of race horses. .. A special effort ought to be made by the ‘western states to render their live stock exhibits attractive. Nebraska will show some good stock at the exposition if the importance of this featuro of our exhibit is properly approcinted, SoUTH CAROLINA has taken hold of the matter of railroad regulation in a way that has greatly perturbed the corpora- tlons. A law just passed puts tho abso- lute control of all railroads in the state into the handsof the railroad commis- slon, from whose decision there shall be no apveal. Mass meetings of railroad employes have protested against the legislation, but it will doubtless stand unless overthrown by the couvts. If the commission, however, is atall like such bodics in some other statesthe rail- roads huve not much to fou OPPOSITION to national quarantine on the ground that it would ba an invasion “state rights” was to be expected, snd it paturaliy comes from the south. ‘The constitutional right of congress to establish a national system of quarantine 18 not questionable, and it is necossary to protect the whole paople against the ble 10vasion of contagious and in- The responsibility is 100 great to be lodged in the hanas ot individual states and no consideration as to state righte should be allowed to have any weight in determining the question.

That includes the vagarics of Henry George | and Edwarda Bel ns well as tho ex- travagant projects of reform advocated by Taubeneck and Davis of Texns, The proposition to keep a steering committee at Lincoln throughout the session to wateh and guido the populist members very sle, providing that the committes is made up of men who know n hawk from a handsaw and an oil-room capper { a distributor of temperance tracts In other steering committee that knows how steer clear of the pitfalls and snures set for the lawmakers is & good thing. e demand in favor of more rigid as- sessment laws that will compel tho list- 7 of all property actual value timely and right. The resolution opposing t mont of public roads by the bonds is, in our judgment, Good roads are just s much need safo bridges and commodious houses, Good roads will cheapen cost of earrying the farmers’ products to market, They are a nccessity, and it is stupid to object to borrowing money to build them when they never can be built without borrowing money. ho proposition to build and maintain mills and clevators is right enough it the farmers e iso the mnecassary is sensil wor to 10 it vory st The resolution demanding greator economy in the management of stato in- stitutions and requesting a thorough overhauling of the samo will moet with popuiae approval, The resolution demanding struction and maintenance of all works of internal improvement, including the proposed Platte river canal, is very | much like the scheme govornment ownership of railronds. The state can- not undertake these improvements be- cuuse it has not the means to do so and it is doubtful whether it can embark in such enterprises under the present con- stitution. It would have been much | moro gensible to recommend that these canals shall be »d and owned by the respective counties and cities for which they are designed, or structed by i revertio public own ited time. Why the alliance censured the Board of Public Lands and Buildings very aeverely but made no re nee to the State Board of Transportation is be- vond cur comprehension. The natural the cc constrt hip infevenc is that the politiciavs of tho | alliance wanted to reserve the railroad | issue for future politic In the main, howeve of the alliance were dignified and the demands of the farmers were mueh more conservative than two yearsago when they controlled both houses. 1 capital. A SIGN OF DECAD The re-election of John H. Powers as president of the Nobraska farmers’ allinnce for a third term was a high compliment to Mr. Powors. It was also a proof of decadence of tho Whenever any organization for its®@hject great sozial and reforms is dominated by tho NC politic: ono 1 . the proceedings | | been able to e | which | dire | ate, | getting tl | termination to oppose any | and the democratic the | the [ ing st | Suez canal, may ge | that no fo: | of | government h | that there when con- | ate capital they shall | within lim- | | a forcible collection, power it loses in strength and enthusi- | asm among its members. There must be room on top for every ambitious man in any political movement. Without rotation in office the body becomes top- heavy and the rank and file loses interest in the objects for which it 1s organized. This fact has been demonstrated time and again, of Liabor werea powerful organization mustering an army of nearly a million of workers arrayed in soiid phalanx to battle for tho cause of labor. That great army Las been roduced to a mere skeleton, because and chiefly because of one wan domination. Powderly has had himself clected grand master less will have hin 1s0 long | as there is a corporal’s ard loft and an income to bo gotten out of playing grand mogul of the Knights. This much we say without Powers’ integ ability. He is an enthusiast of the John Brown ordel He has set out on u tourney against slavery to the money power, and hopes that the next generation will garner a harvest from the seed he is now sowing. But Mr. Powers is visionary and impractical, | Ho clamors for things that ere boyond | our reach and tires his followers out | with repeated fruitless struggles, It is an old adage: “OId men for counsel and young men for battle.” In the irrepressible conflict botween the totlers and monopolies the moen who lead must necessarily be vigorous and magnet. They must be in condition to rouse the masses by infusing confi- dence in their ability to lead them oa to vietory. Mr. Powers lacks all these qualities and hence the allianco in Ne- brasica will follow in the wake of the grange which was disbanded in orde he doubt- | rollecting ity or dispr Ten years ago the Knights | | in thi; I doubt | should look into the | to take in a large additional number of ! in | him, that its officers might protecy them- selves from debts for which they had | mado themselves linble, THE NICARAGUA CANAL BILL, The bill reported to the senate, by Senator Sherman, providing for a goy- ernment guarantoe of Nicaragua canal bonds to the amount of $100,000,00), is a modification of the measure introluced in tho last congress and 1s less open to adverse criticism. It goes much farther than the first bill in imposing obliga- tions on the canal company and giving zecarity t) the goverament. It proposos, for exumple, that before the govern- ment shall assume any financialjrespon- sibility in counection with the enter- are prise the compuny must be able to show | a clean balance sheet. It must and concel all stock und bonus that have been issued and satisfy all outstanding obligations before the vroposed act can go into effect, Anpother requirement is that the real and personal property and franchises of the company are included in the liabilities and constitute o part of the securily of the erument.

This is an old dodge of the tax-dodgers. They always claim that their cars are assessed in some other place, but you never can find tne place when you look for the proofs. The plea that assessments at Pullman, Iil., include all the cars of the company wherever they may be in use has been overruled by the courts of various states us a palpable evasion, If the Pullman company’s cars aro wble in any other state than Illinois, y are taxable in Nebraska, and if they are taxable in Nebraska they surely canuot be exempt from taxation city and county.

He was reported to have this in contemnplation before the election, but it was thought after the election that he might conclude to abandon the idea in deforence to the incoming administration.

Of course if the prosident takes the contemplated action he will subject himself to the unfavorable eriticism of democratic spoilsmen, but he will have the approval of those democrats who not hostile to the whole policy of ecivil service reform, This is indicated in the joint resolutions introduced in the house of repro- sentatives by Mr. Andrew of Mass- nchusetts, requestiug the president, if | compatible in his opinion with the good of the public servies, to frame rules as s00n &5 may be providing that all ap- pointments as heads of divisions in th | | | and he said bo made by promotion from employes already in the clussified service, and | also that the rules be extended to cus- fol- | 3 | | cessive rains in the | in the Mi | ward the | ity accepted as collateral. | moralizing condition of Chi tom houses huving twenty-five or more employes and 1o lottor oarriors at all free delivery offices, Thae vresident has the power b} ¢ to mako these ox- and hjeot of introdueing the joint resolut wis 10 oxpress the opinion of congness that the extensions are desirable.
