OMAHA is getting ready for substan- tial progress during the coming spring. All the signs point in t direction. PERHAPS that monster Krupp cannon that is on its way to this country for ox- hibition at the World's fair had better be transported direct to Topeka. Tue hot-hc are making Parisians, yet the the sun politi led partisans at Topeka much noise as the is nothing under fantastic as a Kansas quite as 1 hubbub. THE legislature should see to it that the oil companies shall not be permitted to dump hundreds of thousands of gal- lons of infexior oils on to the consumers of Nebraska that neighboring states will not permit to be within their borders. sold THERE is consternation in the hungry horde of machine democrats in New York growing out of Cleveland’s pro- posed cabinet appointments. The little fellows can see no hope of reward, and their bitterness knows no bounds. The president-clect is applying the lash. PRESII HARRISON has written a friendly lotter to Mr. Cleveland proffe ing to him the hospitality of the white house before the inauguration. As Pr&ident Harrvison re ed a similar invitation from Mr. Cleveland just be- fore the beginning of his term, the two statesmen are now even. THE city council of Des Moines has passed an ordinance reducing the price of fuel gas from $1.50 to cents and that of illuminating gas from 3$1.65 to 90 cents. Besides this reduction a rebato scale is provided for by which the cit is to still further cut down the cost. This is a sweeping measure and f{t will be interesting to ok ve the results. I 18 said that ten bushels of corn, judi ously fed, will add 100 pounds to the weight of a pen of swine, and the Chicago Inter Ocean affirms that when hogs are worth from $7.50 to 38 at the farm yard gate ‘‘the grunt of a drove of well fed porkers will drown out the wailings of a ‘whole chorus of calamity howlers.” The trouble is that the calamity person and the drove of porkers are never found together. THE citizens of Pierre, S. D., are vexed over the report that a move had | been started to relocate the state capital. They claim that the seat of government cannot be tak from Pierre. That thriving city has barely had time to enjoy the blessings that fol- low the location of a state house, and does not propose to stand silently by and see the bottom knocked out of its real estate mark A BILL has been introduced in the Texas legislature to legalize the lynch- ing of an outrager within sixty days from the time of the commission of the offense. What need has Texas for such alaw? Under present conditions such offenders are not allowed to live sixty minutes if they fall into the hands of a mob within that time, and as long as lynchings are not punished it cannot matter much to those taking part in them whether they arve legal or not. A HIGH compliment has been paid to General John R. Brooke, commander of the Department of the Platte, whose headquarters are in Omaha. He has been to command the first division of United States troops that are selected to take part in the inauguration parade at Washington on March 4, and has been ordered by the major ing the army to repair to the national capital with his staff to perform the agreeable duty to which he been assigned. His frie in this ity will be pleased by this recognition of the ocommander of the Department of the Platte. SENATOR HILL of New York clared himself in favor of what is known as ‘‘senatorial courte: Tk good deal of significance in this p of the gentleman who after Ma will be the senior senator from the pire state. It means that he will some objections to make to the appoint- ments of Mr, Cleveland, so far as the state of New York is concerned, and that in order to make these objections effective, he will expect the assistance of senators from other sections, to whom he will be disposed to give whatever sup- port they may demand. It is another evidence of the fact that Mr. has de- e is a Em- the incoming administration and means to be unsparing in his warfare. encral command- | of ¢ | favorable have | Hill is | getting ready for a vigorous fight upon | THE QUESTION OF GOLD BONDS. It appears that President Harrison is oxtremely reluctant to permit an issue of gold bonds in order to increase the gold reserve of the treasury. He natur- ally desires to avoid such an addition to the public debt under his administra- tion, which has been able thus far to | meet financial stress without re- course to any extraordinary measures. No administeation in the last quarter of | a century has had more to contend with | in this respect than the present one. | and it has been eminently successful in its financi policy and man- agement.

President Harvison has sent to the United States senate a message in favor of the annexation of the Hawaiian isl- ands.

The idea of a simple protectorate is not regarded ble and consequently some- comprehensive is urged, this policy being embraced in the mes of the president recommending th nexation of the islands.

The National Association of Builders, which closed its annual convention at™St, Louis ye adopted some inte ilg and important resolutions testify to the progressiveness of the as- sociation and its purpose to promote otier interests than those of a strictly business nature. One of the resolutions recommends that manual schools ablished in with the public school that trade night schools be organ- ized the various trade organiza- ti ns for the benefit and improvement of apprentices.

The manual training school idea is one that is vapidly finding favor among em- ployers in all of the trades. The timo is ripe for making industrial education a part of the work of the public schools, and the time is not far distant when injuries to socure sueh a plan will bo favored by all who | app the youth of the land for usefulness.

Owing to reduced prices the de- crease in value was greater than the decrease in quantity, though in the case of wheat the decrease in quantity was about 82 per cent.
