THE supreme court will probably want to fight shy of legislative election contests in thoe future. THE gains in live stock receipts at South Omaha during the past year seem almost fabulous. Toe farmer who owns a drove of hogs at present has the means of keeping the wolf o long distance from his door. Tue independent steeving committee must have beon possossed of a few tips from Kunsas. They certainiy know their line: THE prosperity of tho country during the past year was not for campaign pur- poses. It was genuine and the statis- tics prove it. MR. SHERIDAN of RRed Willow is a bigger man than he was last year, Men become famous in n day and sink 1nto obscurity in a night. LAST year about this time the legisla- ture was furnishing sensations. Now it is the suprems court. Men wearing the ermine don’t often lose their temper. THE Tammany statesmen aro assem- bling at Albany in hohalf of Edward Murphy for senator, and il he is not elected there will be a political row that | will last four years. JERRY SIMPSON says that ho will not serve & third term in congress. This should be a robuke to those pessimists who always maintain that the future has no promise of sunshine. HON. THOMAS F. BAYARD is not much of a free silver man. He says that the people could better afford to buy all of the silver mines at more than their value than to have free coinage, WEe MoveE that higheockolorum of the Industrial legion Vandervoort be given the position of house postmaster. His experienco as mailsuck hustler in the Omaha postoffice fits him for the arduous toil incident to the place. THE low price of silver and the labor troubles in the Cour d’ Alene mines caused a great reduction in the mineral production of Idaho last year. 1t is now estimated thut the riots at Cour d’ Alene cost the state $214,159. The private losses were, of course, far greater, for the total decrease in production in tho state is placed at §6,017,000. A NEBRASKA farmer sold fifty-seven hogs at the Omaha market yesterday and received for the bunch an average of $22.58. He carried home just $1,284.21 in cash by the transaction. The market price of porkers is $3 more than it was a year ago. These fucts are forcible enough to render all comment useiess, but there is gratification in noting them. THE government of Australin has taken control of all the irrigation sys- tems of that country and is rapidly re- claiming the waste lande. The time is not far distant when millions of acres of arid lands in this country wili be made productive in the same way. {irrigation under government control may be made to perform wonders for the development of portions of the great west which are not now sought by sottlers. MR. BLAND says that tho silver pur- ohase act will not be repealed by the pregent congress, though he would not oppose this action if he could have the law of 1878 restored with the require- ment that #4,000,000 of silver should be eoined monthly, On the other hand the eareful and well-informed correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says the chance for repeal or suspension is a great deal better than Mr. Bland is will- fog to admit, The fact that Mr. Cleve- 1and is believed to favor such a propo- sition adds strength to it and would doubtless win from the free coinage forces, in the opinion ofothe correspon- denf, a sufficient number of votes to secure a suspension at least of the Shorman act. It lodks now as if the effort is to be made to suspend rather than repeal the law, and tho best in- | are formed opinion is that the chances ure favorable to the success of such a propo- REASSEMRLING OF OOVGRESS. © Coungrees will resume fts session to- day, nnd it 1s to be hoped the members will roturn to their dutios with the de- | tormination to do something. for there i are matters of great importance to be | acted upon. Thus far the session has ecn nlmost froitless, unless something to he crodited to prepacation. During December the house of repre- sentalivos was in session a little over forty hours, and as the expenses | of tho house for the month were about £560,000 the people paid for the actual time devoted to their service at the rate of $14.000 an hour. Only two or three mensures were acted upon, one of these being a bill to increase the pensions of the Mexican veterans from #Sto $12 a montl, the force behind this measure the fact that nearly all these vet- evans live in the south, sarved the con- . and are loyal democrats prosent session will expire at noon of March 4, that there only fifty-one fuil working ¢ in which to consider tho save important questions that will submitted to this congress in addition to the appropriation bills. It is plain, therefore, that no further time can be lost, and both houses ouzht to ad- dress thems: 4 to the work before them earncstly and vigorously. Per haps the subject of graatest urgency i that of & national system of quarantine, for which a bill been agreod by the joint committes of the senate and house. There is a very general popular demand that the federal gov- ernment shall assume control of quuran- tine, ns the only certain way to insure uniform and effective regulations for preventing the intro- duction of contagious and infectious dis- oases. I'he mensure that will be re- ported to congress does not go as far as it is believed o majority of the peopls desire, huving been framed to avoid conflict with the authority hitherto conceded to the states. It provides that where there are state regulations they shall be enforced by oflicers of the marine sarvice, and where there are no such regulations the secrolavy of tho treasury in connection with fode o s designated, mako Hecessary rogulations. bill also provides for a rary suspension of immigration by the president whene he shall deem the dunger of a cholera invasion to be sorious. In connection with this matter a bill will bs introduced providing for tho total suspension of immigration for a year, and Senator Chandler, who is the author of this measuve, is sais |0 shall The tempo- pass. The present congress must uct upon these subjects, and their proper discussion will occupy time. Another question that will be promptly presented to the consideration of congress is that of repealing or sus- pending tho silver purchase act. Tt been announced that a bill for tho repeal of the luw will bo re- ported from ths house committeo on banking and currency, and it is under- stood that a measure for suspending the operation of the act will be introduced in the senate. This question, whatever form it may take, is certain to causo prolonged discussion, because tho c tremo silver men will proposition to stop the purchase of that metal by the government unless they are assured of some other plan oqually favorable to silver. Another-urgent matter which this congress should cavefully consider and act upon is that of amending the inter- state commerce nct 50 85 to give it some force und vitality. It is generally con- ceded that as the law now stands it is practically inoperative, and that if not altogether a failureitis not far removed from it. been offered which it is believed would give it the desired strength and useful - ness, and it will be unfortunate if thesas changes are postponed for a year or more. Then there are the questions of raising more révenue and of a uniform bankruptey law which it would be well to huve acted upon by the present con- g It will thus be seen that there are mat- ters enough of commanding importance to occupy all the time of the present session if they receive proper considera- tion, und some of them cannot and others should not be left for the succeed- ing congre: as ADVANCING FIRE INSURANCE The fire insurance agente are unani- mous in the opinion that the scale of rates on fire risks shoultl be advanced in this city. Fora few yoars pust sharp RATES. competition between a lurge humber of | companies has resulted in aslight reduc- tion of rates and now that the operation of state laws has made insurance busi- ness less of a snap for the companies doing business here the number has to some oxtent decreased. The companies remaining therefore are conlident that the time hus arrived for a generzl advance of rates. They cannot, of gourse, be expocted to compare the rates exist- ing in Omuha with those of other cites no larger than Omaba, for such a method of establishing rates would work to their disadvantage. The fact of the matter is thut the per cent of loss to the | total volume of risks takenin Omaha shows that there is no sound reason for an udvance of rates and this s the ouly test that property owners will permit to be upplied whenever a chunge of rates is proposed. The mere fact #iat there has been a loss sustained in the lust week of the year would scarcely justify the isi of fire rates all along the line. ties for putting out fires as good in Omaha us they are apywhere and our fire department is just us well mannea as that of any eity of equal population. The total loss by five for the yoar 1892 up to the middie of December did not exceed $250,000. Had the Continental block fire happened two weeks later the fire losses for the year would have left a very large margin for tho insurance comnanies aiter deducting agenus commissions and _ other expenses. Tho losses in Omaha for ten years have ou the average Leen 'way below thoso of other cities of equal population and equal rating.

A GRATIFYING RECORD. An gxhaustive review of the business failures of the country during the past year is presonted by Bradstreet's, Noth- ing could be more oncouraging to the business interests of the United States than thie showing made by these figures. The number of failures in the whole country, oxclusive of South Dakota, where they are not reported, is 10 the smallest number since 1882, wi exception of 1887, The most significant however, is that the grand total of liabilities involved by these fa ures in 1892 is only $108,500,000, which is less than the liabilities of any other veur since 18 Considering the groat ine number of business houses in try this record is remarkable, there were 855,000 commereial con individuals, corporations of suflicient and standing to re: and the number ot fail- year was 10,209. But now, yours later, with business houses egating 1,035,000, an increase of 21 cent in numbar, the failures are fewer and the liabilitics are 40 per cent smatler. In 1890, which was a year of great prosperity, the percontage of fu ures to the whole number of business houses was 1.07, but during the past year it has been reduced to less than 1 per cent. This striking reduction in the number of business lures has not been due to any unusual extension of credits, for it is well kknown in busines: circles that the past year has baen one of caution on manufacturers, importers, jobbers and wholesale dealers, who have been in- fluenced by the financial stringency in urope and cmbarcassments in other been commercial diffi- pase in the the coun- In 1883 and in- firms, im Br N8, and be corded, u‘es that thought to portend culties everywhero. Business has been conducted in & conservative spirit and has prospared. It has not been to any considerable degree specu- lative or experimental. This converva- tism, taken together with the prosper- ous condition of the American peoplo generally, must account for the small number of fuilures and the greatly de- creased liabilities. Among the states moationed by Brad- street’s as having shown astriking reduc- tion of indebtness on the part of those who failed is Nebraska. Let us hope that the record of this state will be stiil farther improved in this respect during the present year, and that the business interests of the whole country will con- tinue to prosper no less than they did in 1892, AND QUARANTINE. Every veport that comes from the cholera-infected district of Burope, and every statement from European medical ities regurding the danger of a cholera epidemic asroad, st and intensifies the popular sentiment in this country in favor of a national sys- tem of quarantine. All the argument STATE RIGHTS | is favorable to such a sy body who can ke an inteiligent and unprejudiced view of the question understands that uniform regulations, enforced by a single authority with all the meaus at command for their proper and adequate enforcement, ave indis- pensable to sccurity against the invasion of d.seuse. There is not a reasonable doubt as to the exclusive federal juris. diction over quarantine regulutions when and so far as congress shall legis- inte. The federal government provides for the defenss of the soaports, for the | 1mprovement of the harbors and ap- proaches, and for the supervision of out- The principle that gives it jurisdiction in these respects is equally applicable to its control of quarantine regulations for the safety and protection country. This would seem to be obvious as to be universally conceded. Yot the proposal to place quarantine regulations der fedoral contro! is be- ing hotly opposed as an rights of the states, and un- doubtedly this argument used in congress against any providing for federal of quarantine. The southern press is using it with a view to influencing the representatives from that tion, and the health officer of New York, who so fully demonstratsd his incompetency last fall as to be con- 50 measure supervision demned by tbe Chamber of Commarce | of that city, also thinks state rights would be invaded by giving the federal authorities control of quarantine and will go to Washington to endeavor to influence democratic congressmen against the proposul to deprive him of his office, and perbaps he will carvy | with him the supnovt of whose creature he is. Thus in the presence of a danger which every citizen should be most anxious to avert, Tammany, 50 far as its application to this matter is concerned, ara doing all ! an to de- feat the legislution necessary to protect the country against a possible epidemic of cholera that might cost thousands of human lives ana do incalculable damage to the business of the country. It is not easy to be patient with such peo- ple, and particularly with those whose motive is wholly selfish. As o vresult of the clamor of these state rights’ champions there is o likelihood that legislation relating to this subject will not be of a chavacter to meet the demands of the though it is to be hoped there are few men in congress who will permit them- selves to be influeaced by the ridiculous gabble al-out interfering with the rights of the states. THE memwmbers of the congressionul | committes that investigated the Read- | ing combine are said to be perplexed us to what legislation to recommend to meet a combivation like that in the an- thracite coal business.

Tre superintendent of motive power on the Russian government railways is now in this country in search of infor- mation that will be of vsa to him in his work, the importance of which may bo judged by the fact that the is now building a railroad from the Ural mountains to Siberia, which will be the longest line in the world. Tt is to be used in the transpor tation of prisoners sent to Siberin and vill be completed in about eight years Whilo this may reduce the hardships of the exiles in transit it holds out no hops that the Siberian systom of punishment will ever be ubolished by Russin. On the contrary, it looks as if that system were to be made permanent in of the protests ized world. spite PREPARATIONS are being made at Arkansus ¢ Kan., for an invasion of boomers into the Cherokee strip. T'he is to test the claims of both the ans and the government to title in the lands. It is propased to send n boomer into the strip to claim 160 aeres of land, erecta house, break the land and put ina crop. The efforts of the government to eject him will be resisted by injunction from the courts, and a de- termination of the title will thus be reached. In the meantime a rush of the strip is being planned, to take effect about the first of next month.
