JUDGE THURSTON and Mr. Paddock will probably never speak as they pass in the sweet by and by.

This is not a bad showing for Omaha. Now THAT the big senatorial plum has been awarded the little plums which are at the disposal of the governor will begin to drop into the mouths of the hungry and thirsty office seekes AND now the Gilbert islands, another little group in the Pacific, would like to Dbe taken under the wing of the Ameri- can eagle. If we accommodate all comers we shall presently own the earth and some other minor planets. THE overdue steamer City of Peking, ‘which has just arvived at San Francisco from Yokohama, was obliged to cover 1,300 miles under sail on account of a broken shaft. The success with which she performed the feat against heavy head winds shows the value of a good sailing outfit on the ocean liners. THE swindler who takes orders for goods and requires payin advance is now operating with great success among the farmers of lowa, he lightning rod men have left the state, but it is too good a field to be neglected by the sharpers. The farmers are now waiting for some new game to be sprung on them. Two shocking elevator accidents have happened in this city recently, due to the removal of fenders while the eleva- | tor shafts were undergoing repai Both could have been readily averted by closing the elevators until the necessary repairs were made. It seems strange, indeed, that such cavelessness provails. THE average daily attendance at the South Omaha schools for the month of January shows an increase of 337 over the same month last year. The in- crease in the population of the Magic City is to some extent indicated by these figures, and they also suggest that the question of school accommodations must continue to be a live one in that tow MosT of the shipments of eattle now coming in are making money for the feeders. It is said that the feeders taken to the country in September and now coming to market are yielding a profit of from $10 to $15 per head, and the outlook for the future is so promis- ing that the trade is advising cautious marketing for the present. The im- | provement in the cattle market has not | kept pace with that of the hog market, but it is nevertheless full of encoura ment. THE speech of Senator Hill of New York, in the United States senate Mon- day, shows that he has not learned since the presidential election to think any better of Mr. Cleveland. A fow days be- fore this utterance, in the course of an eulogy npon the late Senator Barbour of Virginia, Mr. Hill took occasion to man- ifest his feeling of personal hostility to | the president elect. Theso two incidents | suggest that the senior senator from New York after March 4 may be ex- pected to lose no opportunity to attack | Mr. Cleveland, and there is every reason to believe that he will have the sympathy of his colloague from that state. Of course this will mean the loss of all con- trol of the federal patronago in New York, but doubtless Hill has neither ex pected nor desived to have anything to do with the distribution of the spoils. Whatever else he may be capable of doing for political advantage he would not burter his independence, so far as Mr. Cloveland is concerned, for this privilege. Hill will undoubtedly be a very interesting figure in the senate dur- | United States | Quite disloyal | from a stormy ing the next administration. TIE ELECTION OF JUDGE ALLEN.

The defeat in the United States senato of the bill to repeal the silver-purchase act, by a vote of 42 to 23 probably dis poses of the question as to any ' interfer ence with the law by the present con- gross. This is reported to be the opinion of Senator Allison, who was in favor of repeal, and of Representative Harter of Ohio, one of the most aggressive of the anti-silver democrats. A vigorous effort will still be made by the advocates of repeal in the house to securc action upon the Cate-Andrews bill and they will have the assistance of ex-Senator Carlisle as the repre- sentati of Mr. Cleveland, but the outlook for them appears not to be very favorable. The effort to signatures of democrats to a petition asking for a rule ordering the close of debate on the proposed bill at u f time had met with little success before the vote in the senate, and the chances of securing the required number of signers were not improved by that ction. It is plain that if a repeal bill should pass the house it could not go through the senate, where a cloture rule could not be applied, and this fact will lead many democrats in the house who might otherwise be will- ing to have such a rule adopted there to withhold their asseat. At this time, therefore, the promise seems small for a repeal bill reaching action in the present house of representatives. The fact that twenty democratic ators voted against repeals and but twelve for it will convey to Mr. Cleve- land discouraging evidence of his lack of influence in that quarter. It is not to be doubted that he expected a different result from the efforts he had put forth t0 persuade and then to coerce'senators of his party to relieve the incoming ad- ministration of all care and responsibil- ity in connection with the silver prob- lem. If, in addition to this, a majority of the democrats in the house now re fuse assent to the demands of the presi- dent-elect Mr. Cleveland will be forced to realize that his party is not prepared o sen- | the state worth not less than par, to an to acknowledge him as a dictator, and that if he would save his administration | and troublous career, ready plainly threatened, he must greatly modify his method of leadership. Attempts to coerce men who have con- victions of their own and a sense of duty to their constituencies prudent expedient, and are showing that in this gother futile, Mr. Cleveland’s plan of coer to thr is not a wise or the democrats case it is alto- ion was aten an extra session of the Fifty- third congress within a month after his | inauguration, if the present congress failed to repeal the silver-purchase act. This, it is now apparent, produced no effect. It is said that Mr. Cleveland re gards the silver question as taking pre- cedenca in importance of all others, so that a special session of the next con- gress, at a dato not very remote from March 4, is to be expected. As the sen- ata then will have at least as many sil- ver democrats as now what better chane will there be for the suceess of Mr., Cleve land’s silver poll Manifestly the prospect for the incoming administra- tion is that it will have an exceedingly turbulent cavoer, both with regard to the silver and the tariff, and the result can hardly be otherwise than to widen | ' We do not know that any county bonds | providing that county and municipal ofti- | the division that now oxists in the dem- ocratic party on these questions.

The fellows that had been converted were off by the populist vigi- lantes and the Gorman-Brice telegrams. It was a streak of ill-luck from first to last. There bar veady to be pped, candidates willing to be bled and villains ready to sell out, but the cal- cium light of exposure was constantly turned on and the poor boodle gang was | thwarted and foiled at every turn of the wheel of fortune, and when the capital prize was drawn by Judge Allen the game was up and not s dollar insight. Pity the poor boodle gang! hoodle gang as scared were rols senatorial AN OBIECTIONABLE House roll 90, providing for taxa- tion of real and personal property at its full value, isobjectionable on account 0} the third section, which reads as f. lows: “All mortgages upon real prop- erty in the state shall be assessed as other property and be subject to taxa- tion regardless of the residence of the owner thereof, and it shall be the duty of the to tain from the records or otherwise all mortgs real property in their respective districts | and list and assess the same according to the provisions of this act.” Section 4 provides that if the tax upon any real ostate mortgage shall not be paid within six months after the same becomes de- linquent, such nonpayment shall act as a bar Lo any action brought to foreclose | such mortgage. Every business man will see at a glance what the effect of legislation of this kind would be. Upon every mortgage male in Nebraska the borrower would have to pay the mortgage tax. Kve man who is compelled to borrow on farm lands and other real would pay taxes first on the land regavdless of the mortgage debt and then upon the mort- gage loan. Instead of relieving the debtor class this bill if enacted into law would increase his burden. The money loaner would either increase the interest charge or force the borrower to pay double tax. At any rate the tax would be exacted from the person giving the mortgage, and we do not see any way by which this result could be avoided. It is not expedient to put any additional bu den upon those people who money upon mortgage in Nebraska. The load they are now carrying is as heavy as they can well bear, und the e fort should be to give them relief rather than to increase the load. Legislation of the kind the bill referred to has received con- | sideration in other states and been abandoned for the reasons we have pre- sented. We do not know of any state | where such a law now ists, and if | there is one it is safe to say that the testimony of its borrowers on mortgage would be that it is they who pay the t. Nobraska does not need a law of this kind, and if it should be enacted the farmers of this state would be the first to make a vehement protest against its operation. MEASURE. he assessor asc ges on estate borrow proposed in STATE DEPOSITORIES. The question of providing for the safe deposit of state funds is just now of pe- culiar interest to the people of Nebraska, and it will be the duty of the present legislature to meet it. The same ques- tion is being considered by the Illinois legislature, where a bill has been intro- duced which may have some suggestive features for the Nebraska lawmakers, This measure provides that the state treasurer shall make deposits at fre- quent intervals in such banks of the | state as shall meet the approval | of the governor and attorney gen- eral. Such are required to give satisfactory security, together with a bonus for the use of deposits. Bids are to be advertisod for by the treasurer and such banking institutions given the pre- ference in selection as shall offer the highest bonus, r the security of the funds deposited the state officials shall require of said banks a bond equal to at least 25 per cent of the amount of the accepted bids, to bo approved by the governor and attorney general, and in addition thereto bonds of the United States, the state, or, in their diseretion, the registered bonds of any county in banks amount at least equal in value to the amount of the deposits with such banks. Further provision is made for additional personal bonds from state depositorio to | secur ate against loss by depr clation in value that may occur in bonds, A law of this kind would seem to fur- | nish the most ample security, and the only question is whether the banks of Nebraska would accept the conditions preseribed—that is, whether they would be willing to invest in county bonds and place them with the state treasurer as security for deposits of state funds in their banks. Bonds beaving interest of over 43 per cent very often command a premium and banks might not cave to take the risk of a decline where the margin of profit is so very small. Still there is no very great risk; indeed, in a growing state like Nebraska it may be said that there is none at all. the's over issued in this state have depreci- ated in market value, and while such a thing is possible in the future, it is not to be expected. With regard to y sonal security, it may be noted that there is a bill before the Colorado legislature cials shall furnish bonds of guaranteo | companies, which seems to bea judicious | proposition, care baing taken, of course, to ascertain the reliability of such secur- | ity., The demand for asafer system in relation to the deposit of state funds | than has been pursued is now univer | would b | come the proy | haven't any righi of way ucross Canada yet. | Harrison show | James ¢ | papes sally admitted, and wo may loatn some- thing from the pralflice of other states in this importangimatter, though it is not a problom thdt hecessarily presents any very grave diffigultios —yogv——— The One Objeetion to An Chfemn Whter Ocean, The only trouble’a®ut annexing Hawali is that the voleano wgnt take a notion to erupt at some time when both congress and the Kansas legislatyre were erupting.

One of the members who Villard thus importuned is o well known Hlinois democrat. Mr. Villard introduced himself to this democrat in the corridor and dwelt upon Mr. Clevelagd’s anxicty for the repeal of the Shermaa nct “Oh, ves, Mr. Vilard," said the member from Illinois, “although I have never met you before, I, of course, have heard of you and know well who you are. Lot me tell you that if Mr. Cleveland wishes to fnflu ence votes in this house on the silvee ques. tion he had better send to the pitol as his representative Colonel Bill Morrison of 111i nois.

The opposition to ¢ Morrison, they learned, came principally from Mr. Villard, Carl Schurzand Colon Lamont. “The chief opponent, howeve Mr. Villard, and his intercst in the ap. pointment of the secretary of the in terior is attributed by these friends of Morrison to the fact that the Northern Pacific railrond still has some thing like 25,000,000 acres of land grants, to which the title of that corporation is not clear. and which will probably be the sub Ject of investigation by another special com mission, and which will almost certainly be discussed in congress. A secretary of the interior of pliant disposition could in his re ports and by his rulings favor Mr, Villard's railroad interests. A secretary of firm and unbending character might be the cause of much trouble for that corporation. In these facts the friends of Colonel Morrison are claiming may be found tho motive underly ing Mr. Villard's opposition to Mr. Morrison In this connection it is of interest to learn from democratic sources that the reason why Mr. Cleveland lod not to give a place in vof Indiana was because of the united protest of John G anklin, editor of the Evansville Courier, and Samuel P. Moss, editor of the Indianap olis Sentinel, the two democratic papers in Indiana which conspicuously favored the nomination of Mr. Cleveland in opposition to the candidacy of Mr. Gray and of Repre- sentative Bynum. ~ Mr. Cleveland’s decision not to take Mr. Gray into his cabinet, is, it is said, the cause of annoying embarrass- ment to Mr. Whitney, who'at the Chicago convention positively promised a cabinet positiont to Mr. Gray in the event of Mr. Cleveland’s election” as an inducement for Mr. Gray to withdraw. 1t is said that the mission to the tine republic, which was four years given by Mr. Cleveland to Bayless'W. Hanua f Indiana, will be_offered to Mr. Gray. It reported that Mr. Villard's first choice for secretary of the interior is Hoke Smith of Georga, but Mr. Vilas also hasa candi- date from Wisconsin.
