Tur Ber has completed arrangements for printing the fullest reports of the legislature during the coming sossion. These include a full staff of efficient correspondents at the state capital and an exclusive wire from the state house, running into Tne Bee editorial rooms, with operators at both ends. way Tue Bee will be in coustant receipt of news from the state capital und will be able 0 print in its several editions, cach day, the reports up to the last moment before going to | press. It is the intention to print the proceed- ings and matters of interest connected with the legislature more fully than was ever undertaken byjany Omaha paper. The re- ports will not be confined merely to the | proceedings of the scnate and house, but swill fnclude inside information, as farasit | can be obtained, concerning the plans and purposes of the rings and combines that may be formed, as well as the designs and adtions of representatives of corporations who.may desire to promote or defeat any pending) measure. The undercurrent of news and gossiprelating to thesenatorial con- test will be given to Ber ders as no other paper can give it. For sale by all newsdealers. Irisreported that a Chicago alder- man is going to resign. He should be investiguted at once. Mu. LAMBERTSON says he is for Pad- dock for the senatoe, but who is the Lan- caster delegation for? It’s votes and not wishes that count in a senatorial fight. THE lalk of selecting F Coudert as a compromise candidate for “genator from New York is quite funny. Mpr. Coudert ia no friend of Tammany, and his election to the senate would leave that organization out in the cold | altogether. SoME idea of the way in which New York City is governed may be had from the fact that the horses of the fire de- ‘partment in that city are now on short feed becuuse there is a shortage in the funll for oats and hay. The men who run the government of the metropolis are never hungry. ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF TREASURY LAMBERTSON sends out a statement by Associated press that he is not a candidate for senator, but we would bet a nickel against a rubber but- ton that he would not decline if he were elected any more then he would decline the appointment of assistant secretary. MILWAUK is wrestling with the problem of incendiary fires. The last conflagration in that city, involving a loss of about $500,000, was caused by a bomb thrown into a building by some person unknown. The police force has been strengthened by the addition of 100 men and grout excitement and ap- prehension exist. The man who tries 10 burn a city is a greater villain than the assassin who stabs his victim in the back. TuE latest accounts of Russian perse- cution and despotism in the treatment of the unfortunate people who are the wvictims of Russian prejudice and hatred should arouse the indignation of the civilized world. The heartless brutal- ~ ity of the Russian authorities, from the highest to the lowest of them, seems to have no limit and to regard neither age _orsex, Itisa burning disgrace tothe 3 .—clvflluflon of the closing years of the n.lnohenbh century. Mn. GLADSTONE passed his eighty- third milestone on Thursday and was 8till steady on his legs and showing no - abatemenc of intellectual vigor. Eng- land needs the grand old man as much now as ever and much de- pends upon a continuance of his ability to remain at the head of the home rule movement a little longer. If he lives to witness the nchievement of the purpose upon which his heart is fixed his life work will be well rounded out. 1718 reported that President Harri- ‘8on objects to the pian of the secretary of the treasury of issuing bonds t0 increase the gold reserve of ‘the treasury. ~ The president, it is sald, does not want any rew bonds issued under his administration. This is quite creditable, but it is a little singular that Secretary Foster should have gone to New York with a proposal to issue bonds, seems to have been ‘the case, without a knowledge of the ~ president’s views on the matter. Atany rate there is cleariy no necessity at ‘present for issuing bonds and none is _probable during tho present adminis- tration. 'That being the case it is mani- fostly wise toleave the question of sell- ~ ing bonds to obtain gold to be decided ‘by the next aaministration, Dompany, | for November, 26,050, | In this | rederick R, | THE | T EIGHTEEN NINETY-TWO IN HISTORY. The record of the yonr 1802 closes with today. It prosents features of in- torest to the students of politics, of eco- npmic conditions and of social evolution. @ closing year has been an eventful onoe for the United Siates. In material reas this country has experjenced a tor commercial and industrial growth than ever before in a single yoar. Its foreign trade reached the highest amount in our his- tory, while domestic industries have beon satisfactorily prosperous. These conditions have given abundant em- vloyment to labor at remnuerative wages. ‘Novertheless the existonce of a vopular discontent for which the gen- eral situation seemed to afford no justi- fication was shown in the decisive de- feat of the political party whose policy contributed largely to produce the highly favorable material conditions. effect upon the commer teial interests of the country, is of the greatest importance in its bearing upon the future of those interests. The they want a change of economic polic; from that which has prevailed for thicty into control of the governmentis ex- pected to make a radical departure from the existing revenue.system. [ence | the result of the national election of 1802 | was tho most important that the country has experienced since the eloction of 1860 | and promises to be the most far-reach- ing in its effecta. Political events in foreign lands have been highly interesting and important. | Tn Great Britain the defeat of vhe con- | sorvative party and the return of Mr. Gladstone to power was a triumph in the interest of justor treatment of ~Ire- i land, vhough whether that result, ciearly demanded by the popular voice, will be attained, is still a question. In Germany the demand of the govern- wment for a largely incrensed army ap- propriation has caused a great deal of political perturbation and has hnad the effect to strengthen the socialist party. There is evidently a strong ana growing feeling among the German people that the limit of oppressive taxation for maintaining a great stand- ing army has been reached. France has had two ministerial crises during the year, the last one, due to the dis- closures in the Panama canal scandal, having put republican institutions therve to a severer test than they had before experienced in several years. The out- | come of this matter, which has sent one man to n suicide’s grave and blasted the not now be confidently vredicted, but it is believed that the groatest danger to the republic has passed, and that in any event the loyalty of the provinces to re- publican institutions will preserve them., There has been some political commotion in Italy, giving evidence of a growing sentiment there in favor of a republic. Overwhelmingly in debt, the finuncial problem is the most serious one that disturbs the Italian | heavy burden | whose treasury | has just passed istevini crisis without serious con- cquences, but it would not bo fe to say that the peaceful conditions will long continue. The government appeurs to be honey-combed with cor- ruption in every part and a popular uprising sooner or later with a view to a general reform is highly probable. The quarrel between Norway and Sweden growing out of the dissatisfac- tion of the former with the union, has been growing iutensely for some time and may at any time develop intoa serious conflict. In South America the year has not been unusually fruitful of those political outbreaks common to that section of the world, though recent advices have not been altogether devoid of warlike promises. Both in the United ites and Europe the year 1892 will be memorable for costly and deplorable labor conflicts. The strikes at the Cceur d’Aleng mines and at Homestead, with their incidents of riot and bloodshed, will long be romembered, and it is to be hoped that this generation will not witness a recur- rence of such outbreaks. The strike of railroad employes at Buffalo was an- other of serious character to the extent that it interfored the business of the public. In England the great strike of the cotton gpinners, involving many thousands of workers, reduced many of these people to destitution and resulted in great privation and hardship. The strike of mincrsin France wasa formidable affuir which fora time threatened serious re- sults. Labor dissatisfacvion has shown itself in other countries, and quite gen- erally the year has been marked by a great deal of unvest in vhis dirvection. With respect to social and moral ad- vancement the year 1892 will doubtless compare favorably with any that has gone before, though progress in this regard is not seen on the sucface, Thers is every reason to believe, however, that the world has at least not gone backward socially or morally, The work of public philanthrophy has had | much placed to its credit during the vear, and all the agencies that con- tribute to the melioration and the elova- tion of mankind have been maintained and improved, of taxation. Spain, is * also bankrupt, through a min- | THE YEAR'S RAILROAD BUILDING. It is shown by figures presented by the Railway Age thav railvoud coustruction in the United States during the year now nearly closed has been only about 4,000 miles, as compared with 4,500 miles last vear, and it appears that with two ex- ceptions, 1884 and 1885, this is the smallest record for fifteen years. These figures cannot bo taken as indicat- iog that the railroad business of the country 1is languishing ever, for while the increase in mileage has shown a slight falling off there has been a great growth in-the facilities of the roads already in exist- ence. The present is a period of im- provement in equipment and the lines now in operation are able to handle a vastly greater volume of business than they could in former years. Theopen- ing of new territory has not lately pro- ceeded at such a rate as it once did, but the development of thatalready opened This result, while having no immediate | 1 and indus- | American people having declared that | years, the party that will soon come | roputations of a number of others, can- | govern- | ment, while the people groan under the | with | how- | | ave built that are not actually neoded. | their yar: | other has gone forward with great nmdh thas making it necossary for the estab- lished lines of railrond to keep pace with growing trafe demands, But our present mileage of 175,000 miles is equal to nearly one-halt that of the whole world, which shows that our gain has been much more rapid than that of other countries, In proportion | toaven tha railrond mileage of Furope | exceods ours, though there are half a dozen of our states that excead Groat Britain, France and Germaoy in mileage in proportion to area. In proportion to population Australia leads, followed by North America, Africa, South America, Burope and Asia in the order named. With the single exception of Sweden no country in Turopo is credited with ten miles of railroad to every 10,000 in ponulation, but in this country oaly two states fall below that figure. Railroad construction in this country | is no longer carvied on asa wildeat spoculation. Tt is rveduced to a move solid basis thau formerly and fow lines | This wise policy is likely to prevail in the future and thove is no probability that this country will ever again wit- ness an epidemic of speculative railroad building. A ONE-SIDED BAR Among the concessions embodied in the unicn depot compromise is a quit claim title from the city to the greater portion of Tenth street covered by the viaduct. Inother words, the compromise ordinance directs the mayor to include | in the deeds from the city to the Union | Pacific all that portion of Tenth street IN. | under the viaduct south of the premises ovned by McGavock, formerly known as Bell’s drug store, and extonding to tho abutment near Mason streot. The only reservation made is that this property shall be used for railway yards and trackuge purposes. The natural out- come would be that this roadway would be inclosed by the railvroads us part of and all access cut off except by their permission. The ownership of the land under the viaduet would infer entially carry with it the ownership of There is also a provision deeding a | large portion of Eighth steeet not for- mally conveyed to tho railroad com- The question is Why should the city deed away that portion of Tenth street without an equivalent? The pretens that we get a valuable concession in the new depot is preposterous. A city like Omaha is entitled to resp ble depot accommodations and facilities for going in aud out. The on Pacific and B. & M. are obliged to give Omaha decent depov facilities and they can be made to do so without concessions that involve milliors of dollars of property | and leave the city to the tender mercies of managers who may be friendly today and very hostile next month. Who knows who the managers will be six months hence? Instead of managers who are interested in builaing up Omaha wo may havo managers inter- ested in building up rival cities south or oast. In any event, Omaha should not sur- render the rights she has acquired by former contracts until she has an ampie guaranty that the bridge and transier embargo will be abolished by compoti- | tion. And wo should not deed n foot of. | roady or property unless we get | proverty of equal valuo in ex- change. The Winspenr trianglo right- | fully belongs to the city and we need no quit claim for it from the railroads. The | courts will give Omaha a clear titlo if the city’s rights to it are contested. CUBAN ANNEXATION. There are a great many people in the United States who believe that ulti- mately Cuba must became a part of the United States. The iden isa very old one. A great many years ago it was seriously proposed that this govern- ment should offer to buy the queen of the Antilles from Spain, and ii that country would not sell then we should take the island. Several expeditions were in past years organizea 1in this country to capture Cuba and annex it. There has for years been a party in tho island, though a very small and un- demonstrative one, favorable to annex- ation. It appears that this feeling is grow- ing. The peoplo of Cuba are so well satisfied with the results of the reci- procity arrangement with the United States that they cannot contemplate with equanimity the possibility of losing the commevrcial benclits they derive from this arcangement. There is-a. strong pressure on the Spanish govern- ment for a modification of it that will give the flourmaicers of Spain a better chance in the Cuban market, and therve is also o possibility that the arrange- ment may be unfavorably affected by the reimposition of a duty on all sugars. These conditions are troubling the pso- ple of Cuba and consequently an, agita- tion of the question of annéxation is starting. A stall correspond- ent of the New York Zvilbw referring to this, says: “The great in- dustrial interests of the island, which forty yonrs ago had their base of profit- able exchange in Burope, are now indis- solubly connected with the United State Commercial union with the United States has been shown by practi- cal experience to be absolutely neces sary and mavvelously helpful. The only hope of a permanent revival of the island’s fortunes lies in political union with the United utes.” He says the annexation sentiment is rapidly becou- ing an irresistible force, Porhaps this is a mutter which sooner or later this country may be called upon to seriously consider, but | Spain will not readily part with Cuba, and the United States could neither en- | courage u revolutionary attempt of Spain. Itis doubtiess true thatan- nexation would be advantageous both to the United States and the Cuban people, but this country cannot seek nor en- courage 1t.

This, of course, will bring mem- bors of the association into competition with one another in all cases when more than ono firm is engaged in the samo line of business, and thus the buyer will have the advantage of low prices; but it will act as a check upon competition from other states by pledging the re- tailer to patronize the home producer, other things being equal. Fercin is found the kernel of the home patronagoe The plan is not to ask the fit of the Nebraska manufacturer, but only to ask him to give the latter prefer- ence if his goods and prices aro as sati factory as those of the outside competi- tor. The carryingout of this plan may be expected to incrense the member- ship of the Manufacturers association, as its benelits will only ba extended to members. T'r 15 said that President Harrison has decided not to make any general exten- sion of tho civil service ruies, thovgh he may extend them to postoflices where they have not yet been applied. The president has boen giving this matter careful consideration and has been strongly urged to extend the rules, and if he has decided not to do so it is doubtiess in deference to tho incoming administration, which ha probably thinks should have the largest vossible opportunity for satisfying the demands of democratic pluce-hunters, It is by no means certain, however, that Mr. Cleve- tand would not have approved an ex- | tension of the rules by the present ad- minis Tug senatorial fight in New York is interesting only as the result will demonstrate whether Mr. Cleveland or the greater influence with the dem s of that state. he residont-elect has been very plain in saying that he does not think it would be wise to send Mp. Murphy to the sen- ate, and 1t is well understood that that geutieman is the choice of Senator Hill, who does not want a Cleveland man as a colleague. It s a square fight be- tween the democratic machine and the { Cleveland faction, with the chances at present apparently in favor of the former. The end of the battle may be a compromise. REPRESENTATIVE HOLMAN is quoted as saying that the time will come when the whole Amevican continent, from a to Cape Horn, will be embraced in one political union. When this comes to pass the figld of the great objector will be v v broadened. OTHER LANDS TILIN OULS. Well informed political judges in Europe now assert that unless the q s between Norway and Sweden ave soon patched up in some sutisfactory fashion it is not improbable that the two countries will become entively distinet and individual powe When it is understood that the principal quarrel between them at present hinges on the ap- pointment of foreign consuls, the prophecy em slightly absurd on its face; and yet it is by no means impossible of fulfil- ment. Certainly there are many pol s iu Norway today who openly and with some popular approva! advocate an entire disrup- tion of the dual kingdom; and as the union between the two countries 1s largely a formal one it is by no means unreasonable to suppose that events may conspive to break the slender thr | political expediency which bind Sweden together. The union, of course, was not eutively of Norway's choosing from the inni When, in accordance with the decision of the great European powers, Nor- taken from Denmark and handed over like a bundle of goods to Sweden, the Norwegian people very properly protested that they had some vights in the matter. Such doctrines, however, did not prevail generally in Europe at that time and the protest at first went almost unheeded. Then the Norweglans prepared to vevolt and might have done $o had not Charles XIIT. prevented the uprising by agreeing to low the people of Nor v privileges sell-government.

Sweden is what the former calls high taviff” count Norvw in a tariff for revenue only. ‘et Sweden makes all the commer- cial treaties, controls the appointment of the consuls and diplomatic envoys for the dual kingdom, and, in brief, has exclusive management of the foreign policy. In this matter Norway honestly believes herself to be unfaivly treated. The two countries have in all matters of local govern- ment entively independent systems. Each has its own parlinments, its own ministry, its own code of laws, its own army and itssown system of finance.
