The demand is uncommonly late in getting started. Noronly are the bank deposits of Omaha increasing rapidly but the per- centage of incrense is shown to have ‘been greater during the year just closed than ia any previous year in the history of the city. This fact is full of sig- nificance. THE business failures during vaD:ZIl ‘were 25 per cent less than during 1891, and the total liabilities were only $114,- 000,000 as against $189,000,000 for the previous year. This is a remarkably /good showing for the country, and it is to be hoped that a further reduction will be effected this year. THE steering committees thit aro try- {ng to direct the independents remind one very much of u lame man trying to lead a blind one, Many of these ram- pant anti-monopolists are in reality mere political adventurers who are looking out for themselves and trading | on the votes of their friends. THERE could be no better proof of the prosperity of this city and.the expan- glon of its business than is afforded by the increase in the business of the post- office. How many cities are there in the United Stotes that can show an in- " crease of 33% per cent in two years in the ~ number of its postoflice clerks and car- riers? P NOTHING has so stirred Chicago soci- ety in 2 long time as the circulation of a brewery advertising card containing a picture of Mrs. Potter Palmer., If the likeness is good it is difficult w see how it can do the lady any harm.

There is nothing particulariy surprising in this.

The real congresses of the peopie will soon bo in session in most of the states. “The national logislature represents the people of the union collectively. Its duty is to consider what is required in legislation for the general wolfare, and the federal constitution prescribes and | limits its authority. More than a con- tury's experience, during which repub- lican institutions have been put to the severest posstble test, has shown that the founders of the r public gave ample powers to the con- gress for providing every require- ment and eafoguard of a union and for consarving and protecting the rights and irterests of the whole peo- Broad as is the authority given to- | the national legislature, agrent deal was left to the states, and within the sphere of their powors they are sovereign and independent. Itistothestatelegisiature that the peoplo of each commonwenlth | | must look for proper and adequate police rezulations, for fair and equitable tax laws, for the care and promotion of popular education, for the rogulation of doing business in the statos, for just interest laws, for provision for the care of those who bscomo a .public charge and for such public improvements as pssary 1o the development and prosperity of the state. A stato legis- lature has, therefore, enough to keep it woll and_intelligently employed during the generally proscribed session, and all of it of 4 chara peoplo. It isto bo regretted that the people generully do nou exercise greater care in the choice of members of state legislature: A groat deal of interest will attach to the proceedings of a number of the legis- latures about to assemble. This will be especially the case ns to those which have to elect United States senators and where sharp contests are promised. Thero is likely to be more politics enter into the work of many of the state legis- latures this year than is usual, owing either to the fact that party control has changed or that no one party is in the majority and combinations will be neces- sury to effect organizations and carry through legislation. The New York legislature will attract particular inter- est in political cireles for the reason that the result of the senatorial fight there will determine whether the Cleve- land or the anti-Cleveland faction 1s on top there. Some inter will be di- rected toward Michigan because of the expectation that the republican legisla- ture of that state will repeal the law which provides for the choice of presi- dential electors by districts, the repub- licans being pledged to do this. The legislature of Illinoisis democratic in both houses for the flrst time in many years, and importance will attach to its action in redistricting the state. A sharp conflict over the organization of the Kansas logislature is threatened, and a similar condition of affairsis prob- able in one or two other states. It may he said in a general way that the people are much more concerned about practical legislation than they. are about promoting individual political ambition. The interests of the politi- cians are 1nconsequent in comparison with those of the great hody of the peo- ple whose industry creates wealth, pro- motes materiul development, and sup- ports government. These demund of their representatives an intellizent and careful stuydy of their condition and needs and legialation that will correct abuses, remove evils, and advunce the genoral good. The legislators who heed this demand will deserve the rewards which it is in the power of the people to bestow upon faithful and useful public servants. THE COUNTRY'S SHIPPING INTEREST. Theannual reportof the commissioner of navigation presents a great deal of instructive information for those who take an interest in American shipping, andas a great commercial people all should take an interest in the subject. He states that the percentago of imports brought into the United States in American and foreign vessels continues to maka an unfavorable showing for Americen _ship owners. It is some gatification to note, however, that the decline last year was less than in any previous year since 1858, The commis- sioner expresses the opinion that the decline will continue unless our govern- ment takes some further action to pro- tect its own intorests against the opara- tions of the Canadian subsidy laws, The Dominion government pays the Canadian Pacific railroad’s steamer line to China and Japan a subsidy of over $30,000 for each round trip, besides an unknown amount as an admiralty or naval subsidy. The American Pacific Ma'l line receives from this government in the form of a mail subsidy only about one-fifth the amount paid to its Cana- dian competitor, while another line in thne same trade owned by Americans re- ceives practically nothing. It is obvious that o great advantage 1s thus enjoyed by the foreign line, which is enabled to y merchandiss at lower rates than the lines from San Francisco can make without loss, and this in conjunction with the benefit which the Canadian Pacific railroad, also heavily subsidized, gets from discriminating laws, operates to divert trade from San Francisco and the American Pacific roads to Vancouver and the Canadian Pacific. The competition of our northern neigh- bors in this divection does not halt, for they uare preparing to outon a line of stoamers to Australia, under conditions as favorable, so far as subsidy 1s con- corved, as ave enjoyed by the line to Chios and Japan. The entire west is very much inter- ested in this situation, because if Can- ada is permitted to secure control of the trade with Asia and Australasia the effect will be to retard the de- velopment of the west. The time is coming and cannot he very remote when this trade will be of enormous value, and the country that @ets control of it will reap immeuns e benefits, A wise statesmanship will nos allow a vival commercial power to grasp this maguificent opportunity al- most without an effort. The country ought to have learned something [rem the experionce with Mexico and the South American countries as perfect | er that touches most | | closely the intorests and welfare of the | cally making its own rate to the mistake of allowing other natlons to acquire ocon- trol of valuable markets which we have an equal chance to secure, it wo will oxert the necessary offort and enterprise. It is true that the country has realized & wonderful progress and | development, notwithstanding the in- difference that has been shown regurd- ing outside markete, but the timo has come when the extent of production here demands the enlargement of our markets, and the most effective means of attaining this isby building up and fostering steamship lines that will carry | land. Wo are expansion and our products te every seoking commereial must continue to do 8o more and more energetically. [n nodirection is there greater promise of reward for well di- octed effort than in cultivating trade with Asiaand Australasia,and noscction of the country is so deeply concerned in this commerce as the west. 1 TRANSPORTATION DEAL A combplaint has been filed with the Interstate Commerce commission which diecloses the detaiis of an interesting | deal entored into by the Standard Oil company and the railroads, by which the oil monopoly has enjoyed for years and still enjoys the privilege of practi- on the trans- portation of its product from Ohio to San Erancisco. It is alleged that the San Irancisco manager for the Standard effected this deal with the Southern Pacific railwiy as long ago as 1838, It consisted of an emer- goency rate of 00 cents per 100 pounds on Standad oil shipments from Ohio points to San Francisco. This rate, it was stioulated, was only to ap- ply until the Standard company could lay in a full stock, when it was to bo nd- vanced to $1.25 per 100 pounds before competitors could take advantage of it. Evidence is produced to show that the Standard Oil company and the Southern Pacific management agreed that a rate of 81 should be put into effect between Cleyeland and the Pacific coast without notifying the other oil companies, and that during the time while this rate was in force the ‘Standard should stock up, after which the rate was to be fixed at 81.25. Tt is said that this plan was strictly carried out, and by it the Stand- ard “was enablod to lay its oil down in San Francisco for 3 cents a gallon less than its competitors. The com- plaint alleges numerous discriminations in favor of the Stanaard Oil company, among which ave divect chavges that it ived money rebates extending ack as 188 Itis stated that the Colotado and Wyoming oil producers were by this means shut outof Cali- fornia, the rate charged them being much higher than that charged the Standard for the long haul from points in Ohio. If these allegations are supported by evidence it is cloar that the most flag- rant discrimination has been practiced. By such tactics a monopoly like the Standard Oil company cannot lose, but the railrond company that enters into such a collusion to enable a great cor- poration 1o crush competition deserves to suffer for it. The Interstate Com- merce commission is not mow uble to stop these disgraceful proceedings, but it is hoped that the amendments to the law which are soon to come before con- gress will make it effective for tho pro- tection of the people against these gigantic deals, Ir MAY be well for thoso who are not familiar with the counstitution and dis- posed to introduce promiscuous bilis to romember that special legislation in certain cases is prohibited. The follow- ing classes of legislation are expressly prohibited by sec. 15 of the state consti- tution which reaas as foliows: *The leg= islature shall not pass local or special laws in any of the following cases, that is to say: For granting divorces. Chang- ing the names of persons or places. Laying out, opening, altering and working roads or highways. Vacating roads, town plats,} streets, alleys and public grounds.~ Locating or changing county seats. Regulating county and township offices. Regulating the prac- tice of courts of justice. Regulating the jurisdiction and duties of justices of tho peace, police magistrates and consta- bles. Providing for changes of venue incivil and criminal cases. Incorpor- ating cities, towns and villages, or changing or amending the charter of any town, city or village. Pro- viding for the election of officers in townships, incorporated towns or cit- ies. Summoningor empanelling grand or petit juries. Providing for the bond- ing of cities, towns, precincts, school dis- tricts or other municipalities. Provid- ipg for the management of public tchools. Regulating the interest on money. The opening and conducting of any election, or designating the place of votng, The sale or mortgage of real estate belonging to minors or others under disability. The protection of game or fish, Chartering or licensing ferries or toll bridges. Re- mitting fines, penalties or forfeitures. Creating, increasing and decreasing foes, percentage. or allowances of pub- lic officers during the term for which snid officers are elected or appointed. Changing the iawof descent. Granting toany corporation, association or in: dividual any special or exclusive privi- leges, immunity or franchise whatever. In all other cases where a general law can be made applicable no special law shall be enacted.” Pro¥. GoLDWIN SMiTH, who is be- yond doubt one of the best informed “men in Canada, says that the unionist sentiment is rapidly growing in that country in spite of all the efforts of an official, commercial and social combina- tion to keep it down. *If American statesmen,” he says, ‘‘can only be in- duced for once to lay ‘aside their party differences for a national object, and to pursue in common toward Canada a wise, stendy and sympatnetic pol- icy, the unity of this continent, with full enjoymentof all its resources by all its inhabitants, and perpetural free- dom from war. may at no distant time be secured.” The policy pursued toward Canada by the present administration in this country, though resented by some of the Canadian people, fully ccn- forms to this requirement.

The discriminating duties have not worr the United States the least bit and their removal would be far less beneficial to us than to the people of Cana Poriricar history willlosesomething of value if Mr, Blaine should bo unable to carry out his design of writing another bool, but it is suid that he has made arrangements to have papors re- lating to public matters edited and pub- hished at the proper time in of his death before he can earry out his literary plans. No one, however, to whom he might commit this work could perform it so well as himself, for he has shown that he has very superior quali- ties as a writer of political history. THIS éity has not been idle during the past year in the matter of public im- provements, but 1t is expected that nearly twice ns much will be doge in that line during 1893. In view of this fact the importance of economical and judicious management is apparent. Let the taxpayers have the full worth of their money this year. They never have had it in the past.

Sl e P SENATORIAL POTPOURRL Kearney Hub: Senator Paddock is the only republican who can be elected to suc- ceed the retirving United States senator from Nebraska. York Independent: If all the clippings {n the State Journal culled from eastern gold bug papers were true one would be led to belleve that Senator Puddock was ropre- senting the state of New York in congress instead of Nebraska. ~Their clippings alone would justify the legislature in electing a true Nebraskan to succeed Senator Paddock. Kearney Journal: To oppose Paddock is to be of questionable republicanism, so suy his strikers. Republicans who would like to have an abler, stronger, stalwart republican who is in full harmony with all the p ples of the party, rather than Mr, Paddo also believe that the party is stronger and better than he. For these reasons this class of republicans would like to hunt up the best and strongest man, regurdless of any mun’s ambitions. Broken Bow Republican: Judge W. W. Cowles, who afiilisted with the prohibition- ists in the last campaign, is a strong advo- cate of Senator Paddock’s re-election to the United States senate, He says he does not see, in the face of his record during his last term, how any man ,n-ufuguu in agriculture can oppose Senator Paddock.

Ou this plan Hon. G. M. Lambertson ought to be. Lincoln Herald: There is apparently no necessity, and perhaps really no occasion for a democratic caucus upon the senatorinl question. It is so manifest that we can do nothing without the full and complete co- operation of the independents that nothing should be done which can by any chance en- danger that co-operation. A complimentary nomination to any democrat—no matter how much he may deserve it, or how little it might mean—is a thing to be avoided. The prime necessity of the situation isa cordial understanding with the independ- ents, such an understanding as can only grow out of and come about from acquaint- ance, conference and confidence.

SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 27.—(To the Editor of Tk Ber.] —Having been for many years a vesident of Hamilton, Neb., and a reader of Tue Bee and believing that you are fully posted in regard to the practical results brought about by the railroad commission of your state, I respectfully ask you, through Tue Beg, to give a full history of Nebraska's i The question of appointing ad commissioners will be before our legislature, which mects on January 9.

The only thing it has done has been to here and there dirs to build or enlarge station houses and furnish better accommodations. The only reduction in rates it is known to have made was four or I’ mi'“' but in reality this was a con- e’ by the railroad companies. During the past two years it has done abso- lutely nothing except to draw salarie: The experience of Nebraska with railroad commissions is, therefore, not very encour: aging to those who desire to protect ship- pers and producers from extortion and dis- crimination. It might be otherwise if the commission was made elective, so that the people might vote direct to pay the commis- sioners in fees. ord YOUNG YEAR SMILES, Philadelphia Times: Ifa ghl's facels her fortune, whut's the figur Detroit Free Press: Teacher (to juvenile astronomy class)~1low many stars can we Small Scholar—It depends on how hard we fall ma'awm.
