THERE is considerable talk about an unconditional surtender in connection with the breaking of the senatorial deadlock. But it is not clearly stated what the other fellows had tosurrender. A BOOM has been started in Georgin for Adlai I2. Stevenson for president in 1896. This may be pected to produce strained relations between Adlai and Grover, for the candiaacy of the latter is understood to be perpetual. THERE will be plenty of time botween now and Tuesday afternoon to make sen- ato committee slates. It issafeto predict that there will be some more uncon- ditional surrendering doneinconnection with the making of the committees. THE procession of statesmon thatcamo up from the capicl last evening num- bered some of the smoothest free pass and free whisky patriots that have ever graced a legislatife lobby. They all acted like men who feel thav they have earned their salaries. A STRANGE and incrediblo story comes from Philadelphia. Tt is reported that the treasurer of that city has voluntar- ily returned to the treasuvy $22,179 of fees which he might have retained under a strict construction of the law. It is not stated whether insanity runs in his family or not. TAE house resolution empowering the spenker at any time to discharge idle employes will, it followed, save tho state many dollars. Former sessions have swarmed with committee clerks who had nothivg to do. The action yester- day ,was in the interest of economy and ought to be encouraged. THE spectacle ex-Speaker Elder made in the house yesterday in his fervid plea for female cmployes would have stam- peded Adam’s off ox. It must be con- ceded. however, that Elder in this one instance knew what he was talking about. It is not so certain that the ladies will thank him for his proud effort in their behalf. THE house committeo on employes | has an opportunity to do this state | valuable service, There will be little or no work for a majority of the com- mittees during the month of January, and there is no earthly use for pute ting & horde of hungry oflice seekers on the legislutive pay roll until there is gomething for them to do. In all jrob- ability this is the view tho committee will take of 1t. THERE is at present more manual laborers than for professional | men in Germaay. There are thousands of young lawyers in that country who have nothing to do and other learned professions are overcrowded. It is bet- ter to be a mechanic or a common laborer with employment than a learned professional man with nothing to do. Many a young gentleman of learning in this country renlizes this, but lacks the courage Lo take off his coat and go to work at anything he can find to do. room for THE objection of Henry Watterson to accepting office is based, according to his own siatoment of the case, upon the fact that the servitude, insecurity of tenure and dependence of office-holding have for him a kind of terror. ‘“‘After a man has shown himself wholly unfit for any- thing else,” he says, “it will be time enough to send him to Washington.” There is some sounse in this view, out we suspect that the principal reason why the Kentucky editor does not want office is that he onjoys being 1n a posi- tlon where ho cin warn his party against impending dangers—such, for example, s the devil and the deep sea Tue state of Nebraska is not now repressnted on the floor of the lower house of congress. Its three repre- sentatives are absent from Washington ~—two of them, Bryan and McKeighan, at Lincoln, while the whereabouls of Kem aro unknown., Rusiness before congress affecting the interests of the state, some of it of very considerable importance, is being neglected, but although our congressmen are not giv- ing any attention to their oflicial duties they will not forget to draw their salaries ou time, if indeed they have not anticipated them. Thoy are taking pay from the people and looking after their personal political interests. It is true thore is plenty of p-ecedent for this sort of thing, but none the less it is not creditable. | lvely and | of hogs continues with no sign of stop- | at South | The onlv explanation | still highor prices, as they Governor Knute Nelson of Minnesota, who, throughout his public career, has shown an earnest interest in the wel fare of the agricultural producers and a wise appreciation of their needs, in his inaugural address urged the placing of all grain elevators and warehouses doing a public business under stato in- | spection and state supervision, to the-| end that the state may effect- | beneficially modiate be- tween the warehouso men and | the farmer. Ho said that tho | ordinary farmer, he who is unable to ship in carload lots and is obliged to gell the grain by the wagon load to the the local dealers—and most farmers be- | long to this class—should have protec- | tion at the hands of tha state from the diserimination to which he is now sub- jected. All should be put upon a foot- ing of oquality in the matter of ele- vator and warehouse facilities, ‘*for ack of the humblest farmer, in a case of this kind, ought to stand the whole dignity and power of the state. It is not for railroad companies,’ said the governor, “to say who ought or ought not to have warchouse and sidetrack facilities.” He urged that all diserim- ination should be eliminated, to the end that untrammeled compotition, one of | tho best rogulators, may be secured and maintained. Nebraska 1s in advance of Minnesota | in this respect, having had a law in | operation for nearly two years | relating to elevators and warehouses | doing a public business, but it has not operated as satisfactorily as was hoped for. This, howover, is not be- cuuse of any fault in the principle of the law, but is due to defects in its construction, which the present legisla- ture will doubtless be callad uvon to rectify. So far as the principle of state inspection and supervision of elevators and warchouses doing a public business is concerned, its sound- | ness cannot be questioned, but like most laws tho Nebraska act | for this purpose was not drawn as | cavefully and judiciously as it should have been and, therefore, 1ts working | has not heen altogether satisfactory and it has encountered some criticism. Tt will not bo a difficult matter, however, | from the oxpevience already had to | amend the law where it is faulty and to strengthen it where it is weak. No serious opposition to the main- tenance of the law is anticipated, but if any is in contemplation those hostile to the law may as well un- | derstand that the producers will not consent to the abandonment of this just ana necessary legislation, but will de- mand that it be made more compre- | hensive, tothe end that it may more elfectively protect their interests. THE GREAT H0G PROBLEM. The remarkable advance in the prico ping, and the live stock dealers are be- | ginning to wonder when the end of the upward movement will be reached Yesterday hogs advanced 20 cents from the highest figure of the preceding day Omaha, and at Chicago 25 | cents. The local market closed at $7.20 for the best stock, and buyers wero eager to getall the hogs they could, the market being extvemsly lively at | the close. It 15 no wonder that both sellers buyers are excited over this extra- ordinary upward movoment. The most experienced dealers aro totally unable to explain it and mny of the wisest of them have been on the wrong side of the market every day for some time past be- | cause they could not see how it was pos- sible for the advance to continue. But the price of the porker goes steadily up- wacd in defiance of the predictionsof the knowing 0 es aud the furmer smiles broadly as ho contemplates the situation. given by those who study the pork mirket is that the farmers are holding back their hogs for wsually do when the market is rising. It evi- dent that the facmers aro not marketing | their hogs quite 8o freely as the exo bitant prices would seem to encourage. The only thing that can besaid withany certainty about the advancing prices is that they cannot go up at the present rate much longer without becoming ab- solutely prohibitive. In the meantime the provision men, who soid the market *'short” on strength of tho published r ports to the effect that there wero moro hogs in the country than ever known before, ure paying a pretty price for their whistle. and | is THE USE OF MONEY IN ELECTIONS 1t is » wholesome sign that thero is a steadily growing popular sentiment against the 1llegitimate and corrupt use of money in elections. Nowhere is this evil so largely poacticed as in the state of New York, and the views of the governor of that state on the necessity of removing the avil are therefore poculiarly intereatin In his messigze to the legislature vernor IMlowor says that while legislation has made it imposiible to briba voters with any degres of assuranca that they will vote as thoy have haen b-ibed, still 1t is notorious that money is spent in elections for corrupt purposes. The active agents in the corruption, says the governor, are apparently either willing to trust the corrupted voter to v a8 he has been bribed or the corraption takes the form of pecuniary inducamant to the eloctor to remain away from the polls, Governor Flower has confidencs that this state of affuirs can be thoroughiy remedied by law and he suggosts that | the most potent instrument of reform is wholesome public opinion, without the earnest support of which no law, how- ever stringent, can bo effective. Yet | overy law aimed at this evil and every | agitation of itare infl 2ential in properly | shaping public opinion. New York hasa law known as the corrupt practices act, which 18 designed to reach this mtter, butit applies only to candidates, leav- ing political committees and agents free to concesl both the sources of their revenues and the pur- poses of their expeuditures. The governor suggests that the pro- visions of the act should be so0 ex- tended as to require political agents and commitiees to make their finuncial | tor forfeiture of office. | committees | with this subject that | position or influence to obtain suc | legislation on this subject | will | tures of corporate wealth to defeat tho | and pe | in the number of business | ities from | means that business men are conducting | prove that the work has not boen car- | work on the | ernment | ment is that the president is obtaining | the privileses oxloadei tion of ou | ofti | passed an transactions a wmatter of public record, STATE SUPERVISION OF ELEVATORS. | the tendency of which would be to dis courage the contribution of large amounts of money by individuals.

The pra to which the governor of Now rs, nnd as to which he urges remedial logislution, it somowhnt more fagrant in that state of all o York v | than elsewhoro, prevails to a greater or | less oxtent in all the states, and no one will question that it has a deteriorating and demoralizing effect upon the elec- torate. There cannot bo an hon- est expression of the popular where this evil exists, and where thero is practieally no restraint upon it, as is tho case in most of the states, the suffrage is always liable to become an instrument in the hands of unscrupulous politicians and the crea will of the peonle. The illegitimate and corrupt use of money in elections is con- fessedly one of the most seriousand dan- gerous evilsol our political methods, and the peoplo cannot bo too earnestly rsisiontly urged to corroct it. Jor only has tho past year been a very favorable one in respect to business failures in Omaha, but throughout the state of Nebraska the number of failures | and the linbilities of those failing have | been greatly veduced. In 1892 the total | number in business i this state was | 20,512, and the total number of failures 209, with liabilities aggregating | In 1891 the mumber of fail- 1d the total liabilities were Not since 1857 have | s0 fow business men been forced to the wall in this state during the year just | ended. Considering the great increase houses of all kinds throughout the state, and partic- | ularly in Omaha, this is & remarkably good record. The reduction of linhil- 88,365 in 1891 to $1,838,201 1892 is particularly significant. It ures was in their affairs upon a conservative b and taking ve few chances. This is one of the most gratifying signs of the | time and anguis well for the future stability and substantial prosperity of business in this young commonwealth. But while the manufacturersand trades- | men of Nebraska are proceeding upon conservative lines they are not content | merely to keep their business going in safe rut. Expansion is the rule and | there will be more of it this year than last. If the record of failures for 1803 | show the same improvement as that of | 1892 there will be no question as to the permanency of the p osperity of our business men. a ALTHOUGIH the cost of the eleventh census will bo considerably 1n excess of that of the tenth, this fact does not ried on with stricteconomy. The tenth census cost about $5,000,000, while the present one will cost not far from $8,100,000. The incroase is due chielfly to the enlurged scope of the present | consus, which embraces many fields not previously entered upon. One of the most important sources of additional expenso is that of taking statis- tics relative to farm homes and mortgages, never before at- tempted. This work alone will cost | about $1,250,000. The value of this | branch of the work as a means of in- | formation concerning the actuil con- : dition of the peoplo canuot be ques- | tioned. [ew other subjects upon which statistics have been gathered are of greater interost to the whole people, and it is for the benefit of the people at largo that the census is taken., There has been some criticism of the cansus 't of those who have failed to take into account its enlarged scope and the diflicultios attending so great an undertaking, but it is believed that when the reports are completed their value as u whole will be found to amply repay the cost Tue report thut President Harrison inte1ded to issue a proclamation with- drawing the privilegos which this gov- now accords to the Canadian railronds was doubtless unauthorized.
