THE great increase in the quantity of lumber cut in the northwest during 1892 indicates that the timber supply of that region must, in the nature of things, be exhausted before many years.

Salaries amounting to nearly $500 are due and the school board dees not know how the money Is to be raised to pay them, It is not wise to take too much for granted in the expenditure of public funds, TERRITORIAL ACQUISITION. A greator part of the territory of the United States has been acquired by pur- chase or annoxation. Probably the most important occurrence under the first | administration of Jefferson was that relating to the purchase and admission of Louisiana, comprising much of the territory west of the Mississippl and south of the Missouri. In 1800 Louisiana was ceded by Spain to France and in 1803 it became a possession of the United States on the payment of $15,000,- 000 to France. The direct que tion of territovial aequisition | was now presented for the {irst time and was o source of heated controversy be- | tween the republican and federalist parties of that day as to the power of the | government to acquire terrvitory. Jef- ferson did not pretend that there was constitutional warrant for the action of his administration, but the treaty was finally ratified by the senate, while the | house adopted a resolution for carrying the treaty into effect The next territory acrquired by pur- chase was that of Florida, in 181 which the consideration was #5,000,- 000, 1 enting the claims of | American itizens against Spain, | the United States also giving up its m to Texas and the Rio Grande as its western boundary, In 1337 ing revolied as a Mexican province, be- | came an independent republic, receiving | recognition from leadir Iluropean powers. Negotiations were begun for annexation to the United States and this constituted one of the main issues in the presidential contest of 1844, The cir- cumstances leading up to the annexation | of Texas, without the formality of a treaty, and its admission as a state in 1845, make a interosting chapter of histor, which it is hardly possible will ever bo repeated. The conditions of the pur- chase of Alaska, which followed the | precedents in the cases of Lonisiana and Florida, are familiar. Of th several territorial acquisi- tions the only one that offers the least precedent for the proposed annexation of Hawaii isthat of Texas, and this fails in some important respects. One is that Tc 2 lized government was, in fact, an independent nation and therefore p d every right to enter into negotiations for becoming a part of the United State It cannot fairly be claimed for the | sional gov- nment of Hawaii that it has any such standing before the world. known as to the real character of that government, its responsibility, its truc | relations to the people and its ability to | maintain peace and order and cavry out whatever treaty or other engagements it may be called upon to make. It mu sfand as long as it is supported by the armed forces of the United States, but who can say that it would hold out an hour if these were with- drawn, or if an equal force hostile to it should be sent to the islands from some other country? The Hawaiian commissioners to this | government say that they want the pro- tection of the United States and some | form of government that will be satis- | factory and profitable to both countries. They object to a terkitorial form as not liberal enough, and to a government | like that of the states as impracti cable. Their suggestion is for a system of government similar to that of the British colonies. This the United States could not give them. Our constitution authorizes no such plan of government. The fact is that the more carefully this matter is considered the more evident it becomes that the only | wise, safe and practicable course for the United States is to continue to guarantee the autonomy of the Hawaiian islands and to interfere no further in their af- fairs than is necessary to the fullest pr tection of American interests there. xas, hav- thing is CLEVELAND AND SILVER. It has been known for some time that Mr. Cleveland is deeply interested in the silver question. Ever since the re- assembiing of congress afier the holiday recess the president-clect has been 1 resented in Washington by persons au- thorized to u n his behalf the repeal of the silver-purchase act. He has held numerous conferences with party leade in which this subject was considered. Both persuasion and threats have been employed to influence the free silver democrats in congress. These | representatives have been en to understand that if they hoped to receive any consideration from the next admin- | istration they must conform their action to the wishes of Mr. Cleveland regarding silver. The efforts of the agents of the presi- dent-elect appaaved to produce very lit« tle effect. There have been reports that a few of the free silyer democrats were willing to unconditionally accede to his demand for the repeal of the sil- ver purchase law, but the great majority of them declined to do s0 unless assured of some substitute legislation that would be equally favorable to silver. Mr. Cleveland is sald to have regarded this failuve to entice or coerce acquiescence in his views with great displeasure, and it isnot to be doabted that such is the case. He has | hogs, 120,175: sheep, 16,6645 horses and | mules, 1 | ing month made the following showing | last yc This seems to prove that the | whereas in 1801 it reached only 8,000,000 | and the actnal cost of public buildings is | 1871, and it isnow expected that it will be marked the men, so it has been rve- ported, who have dared to disregard his wishes and allowed it to be understood that they would be excluded from the favor of the incoming administration, It appears that Mo, Cleveland has finally determined to adopta radical course in this matter. He has sent to Washington one of his most trusted lieutenants, Mr. Don M. Dickin- son, with authority to say to the recalcitrant democratic congress- men that they must choose_between the alternatives of a repeal of the silver purchase law by the prosent congross and an extra session of the Fifty-third congress within & month from the ad- vent of the new administration. The president-clect could not more strongly attest his anxiety upon this subject, and the effoct of his ultimatum will be awaited with great and general interest. Aceording to Mr. Dickinson, who un- questionably voices the views of his chief, Mr. Cleveland regards the silver question as’ taking precedence of all others inimmediate importance, and he urges that it must be disposed of in ad vance of every other question. What proportion of the democrats In | or to limit the attendance to those who | bave plenty of money. The railroad congroess not already favorable to aban- doning the purchaso of silver uncondi- mally will be induced to vote against thelr convictions by the threat of an | extra session? Judging from the in- effectual efforts thus far w0 bring these representatives to the support of the wishes of Mr. Cleveland he has not much to hope for from his latest attempt to coerce them, for while anextra session | of the next congress, called within thirty } days after the expiration of the present congress, might be very objectionable | and inconvenient to many of these rep- resentatives, this will not weigh much against the consideration of betraying | their constituents and running the risk of being retired two years hence. It would seem safe to conclude, therefo; that the democrats in congress who rep- resent free silver constituencies, and these the majority, gener- ally refuse to accede to the demand for an unconditional repeal of the silv purchase act, and this is what Mr. Cleve- land wants. The probability is that he will have another experience of the re- jection by his party of his wishes re- | garding silver. STOCK RE IPTS COMPARE The monthly report of the secr of the Union Stock Yards company give the receipts and shipments complete for the month of January this year and compaves them with the receipts and shipments for the same month last ye. The total receipts of stock during the month were as follows: Cattle, total number of « Last year the report for the correspond- | Cattle, 58,138; hogs, 201,557; sheep, 11,- 774 horses and mules, 19 total number of cars, 5 . It will be seen that there has been a great falling off in the receipts of hogs this year, amounting 10 81,382 head. This extraordinavy re- duction in the hog receipts makes the | total number of cars of all stock about )0 less this year than lasy, notwith- anding that the receipts of cattle ex- ceeded those of January last year by | ), 476 head. South Omaha never has been a great sheep market, but an in- crease of about 5,000 head last month over the receipts of January last year shows a decid®d improvement in this respe There are two facts presented by this report which have a bearing upon the | boom in the hog market during the past few weeks. The large falling off in ve- ceipts during a period of such phenome- ly high pr would alone indicate that the available supply of porkers in the hands of farmers was small, and this view is still further confirmed by the fact that the average weightof hogs marketed last month was 242 pounds as against 249 pounds for the same period farmers have not only sold out their stock of full weight animals, but have also turned into money a great many that were not up to what would he i d first-class condition in ordi- nary years. It is interesting to note that the falling off in the average weight of s marketed last month amounts in aggregate to 841,225 pounds, the value of which at 8 cents a pound would It thus appears that the selling.of hogs bafore they are entirely | it for market is not without its disad- vantages to offset high prices. The bulk of thes large receipts of stock is taken by the packing houses of South Omaha, the total shipments of cattle from the stock yards last month being 25,737 and the number slaughtered by the local concerns being 61,079. Of hogs 14,512 were shipped away and 100,- ) were taken by the loeal packers. The average in this respect was about the same last month as in January last year. - TH encouragement for the growers of sugar beets in Nebraska in the fact that the business continues to be exceedingly profitable in Califor- nia with a vastty increased production, The refined sngar produced in that state last year amounted to 23,000,000 pounds, pounds.

About $20,000,000 have alveady been spent on a structure that was expected to cost $4,000,000, and it is thought that the sum yet to be laid out on it will not exceed $1,000,000.

The authority for this statement is | no less a person than Mr. Don M. Dick- | inson, who was postmaster general in the cabinet of President Cleveland and will probably occupy a position near to the incoming admin- | istration. As quoted by THE Ber's onspicuous | | pressed in 1860 is very amusing. Washington cotrmgpondont, Mr. Dickine son stated thalt he knows of certain plans which wilf §pon mature in Canada, and that ho would not be surprised to see o revolution i that country at any time, He said fugther that he had posi- of co-operation ape’ making here. This is cortainly somewhat startling informa- tion, and the aathority for it does not permit it to be tefardoed as ineredible. Mr. Dickinson is vevy elose to Mr. Cleve- land. He exprosded himself as in favor of the annexation” of Hawaii. He evi- | dently is favorable to annexing Canada. Has Mr. Cleveland determined to make extension of the territory of the United States a policy of his administration? IN THE Ca on Mon- | day the government was severely criti- cised for practicing a policy that was alleged to be driving the young men of the Dominion into the United States. | There is some justice in such criticism, but as o matter of fact the young men of Canada cannot help being attracted to this country, without regard to the poliey pursued by their own government. It is impossible for them to close their eyes to the fact. that the people of the United States ave more prosperous than those of the Dominion.
