WitTH James North at the head of the United States collector’s office and John J. Mattes as corncake envoy extraordi- nary to Germany, there will be two va- cancies in the stute senate, which the voters of Platte and Otoe counties will be called upon to fill in November. THE strike of the coal miners in Kan- eas is spreading gradually. The zinc smelters of Pittsburg, in thatstate, have been compellod to shut dawn and dis- tress and privation are rapidly begin- ning to assert themselves. Popular sontiment continues with the strikers. THE now liquor law of Michigan places drunkenpess in the catalogue of curable diseases and every offender may, if he elects, be subjected to the bi- s chlorido of gold cure at the expense of the county in which he lives. The ex- periment will be watched with interest by the students of social problems. e THE attorney general of Kansasis hav- ing an up-hill job in compelling the cor- porations to oboy the laws recently en- aoted for their regulation. The impun- ity with which the corporations' ignore the laws and defy the authorities is one of the most serious things with which a popular self-government is confronted. AMBITIOUS democratic patriots who have set their hearts upon civilizing the red man's agents and accumulating a fortune in four years on a salary of $1,500 per annum have experienced inexpres- sible disgust over theintrusion of twenty ‘West Pointers into the preserves of Poor Lo, and a revolt of the flesh pot brigade is imminent. ‘THE new revenue collector has also put a white house padlock on his ante- room door. He sees President Cleve- land and goes him one better. He not only declines to see applicants for depu- tyships, but proclaims that he cannot at present answor written applications. Mpr. North is probably engaged in pre- paring a now reveaue tariff or a taritl for revenue only. A GREAT many lively towns in Ne- ‘braska will suffer inconvenience on ac- count of the wave of retrenchment which has struck the Union Pacific and B. & M. headquarters. Passenger train service has been suspended on all branch lines of both systems and but one freight train each way is the daily allowance. Still the people along these branch lines will prefer reduced rates to upholstered seats, always providing that they get the reduced rates. THE Illinois legislature has submitted to the voters of that state a proposition to call a constitutional convention. The Illinois constitution served as a model for tho present constitution of Nebraska and in many respects it was the most eomprehensive fundamental law that has been framed by any of the states after the adoption of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the fedoral constitution, If Illinois has outgrown her constitution Nebraska must erc long reconstruct her pooplo'’s charter. Itis only a question by what method this reconstruction can be effected in the shortest timo for the least monoy. THE State Board of Public Lands and Buildings has not yet decided whether Mosher's assignment ot the penitentiary lease to Dorgan is or is not valid. Itis understood, however, that Mosher has been receiving the $4,000 a month from the state in payment for the care and feeding of the convicts. If so, this mouey can be classed as the legitimate assets of the self-convicted bank presi- dent. In this connection it will be well to recall the recent decision of the su- preme court in the case of the state vs. the Kearney Savings bank, the essential point of which is as follows: “In wind- ing up the affaivs of an insolvent bank under the statutes of this state, the re- ceiver of such bank, when so authorized by this court, may tauke such stepsas shall be necessary to enable him to so- oure possession of the assets of such bank, or their value.” PUBLIC CONFIDENCE. The action of the New York Clearing House association in deciding to issue loan certificates to relieve the pressure of the financial situation had an imme- diate reassuring effect upon the country. It operated as a tonic to confidence and its invigorating influence was felt at once throughout the entire financial systom. The moment the great moneyed institutions of New York proclaimed, as they had done two or three times before, that thoy would stand together for mutual help and protection, financial interests everywhere felt that the peril would be tided over. Appre- hension and distrust gave place to & calmer and more rational view of things. The action of the New York Clearing Houso association was not absolutely necessary, since no cer- tificates have beon issued or called for, but it served the purpose of strengthen- ine confidence all along the line, and this was really all that was needed. There have undoubtedly been some substantial reasons for the financial dis- trust, but theco has been no oceasion for the extreme lack of public confidence that has been manifosted. As the Phil- adelphia Ledger well says, the country was never £o rich as at present; its com- merce, its industries, -its agri culture, are all fairly pros- perous, and the best indication of all that the existing depression is likely to be but a transient incident is to be found in the general employment of labor and the continued stability of wage rates. Any intelligent study of the conditions which insure material progress and prosperity must carry the conviction that there is no good ground for apprehending financial disaster. The evidence is that our banking insti- tutions as a whole are sound and fully entitled to public confidence. It may be well to observe in this connection that while the publie is askedto have confi- dence in the banks those institutions have a most important duty to per- form. It is well to be conserv ative and careful, but the banks can do more than any agency other to restore confidenco by affording judicious help to all logitimate business, by maintaining the credit of their customers, and by using their power to keop the machinery of trade in operation. This is their principal func- tion and in its proper performance the banks can do a great deal to restore and maintain confidence. BOIEN FOR A THIRD TERM. Towa will elect stato officers and mem- bers of the legislature next November and an earnest, vigorous and interesting contest between the political parties for the control of the state is assured. Towa, it need hardly be said, is still de- batable ground in a state election, although it gave a republican plurality at the last presidential election of 23,728, The democcrats eleeted their candidate for governor in 1889 by a plurality of 6,523, prohibition being the leading issue, and re-elected him in 1891, in- creasing the plurality to 8,216, the same issue predominating. They failed, however, to carry the legislaturo in either of those years and there- fore the prohibition issue con- tinues undisposed of with the probability that it will play 4 leading part in the campaign of this year. Another thing that will give this year's elcetion added interest is the fact that the legislature to be chosen will elect a successor to United States Senator James F. Wilson, whose term expires March 3, 1895. It is understood that Governor Boies will be urged to accept the nomination for a third term. Agccording to report he has been desirous to give way to some one else who may uspire to the governorship and to enter the race for the United States senate in case the democrats should carry the legislature, but it is understood to be the unanimous opinion of the democratic state committee, after a thorough canvass of the situation, that Governor Boies should stand as a candidate for re-elec- tion, and if such is the case it is possible that he will accede to a demand which doubtless represents the wish of a very large majority of the democrats of Towa. There is just one consideration that may deter him, and that is the question whether accepting a third nomination for governor could interfere with his chances of going to the national senate should his party get the legislaturo. There are several ways of looking at this. It is unqaestionably true that Governor Boies is by far the strongest man in his party in Towa, and that as a candidate for either governor or sonator he will encounter no serious opposition, but can he maintain his strength and be at the same time a candidate for both offices? Can he, for example, success- fully play virtually the same sort of game that David Bennett Hill played in New York? As an avowed candidate for the national senate, with somo one else at the head of the stato tickot, it is quite possiblo that Governor Boies would be a more potent forco in the campaign than if he were again a can- didato for governor with the under- standing that if the democrats obtained control of the legislature he should ex- pect to go to the senate. Fow men are 80 great as political leaders that they can ask 8o much of their party without inciting objections damaging to their strength and to the party, and it is not cortain that Governor Boies is one such. That he has a very firm hold upon the respect and confidence of his partisans is not to bo doubted, but even such a man may give offense to some by an exhibition of polit~ ical greed. Itisto be presumed, there- fore, that Governor Boies will carefully carefully consider whether his political future will be boest benefited by again running for governor with the condition that he shall be transferred to Washing- ton, if his party has the power to do so, or by being a candidate for only one of the offices with which his name is associated. It must be frankly admitted that Gov- ernor Boles has made a creditable rec- ord, and as the democrats of [owa prob- ably have no objection to a third term there is no reason to doubt that if he should be again nominated he would command the full strength of the party and possibly some- thing more. Perhaps * he would again prove hiwself to be the most THE_OMAMA_DAILY BEE MO formidable ocandidate the demoocrats could namo, but at any rate the repub- licans of Towa may as well understand that in order to beat any popular demo- cratic candidate for governor this year they must select the very best man they have. None of the men who have been dead weights on the party in the past and who are mainly responsible for its mistakes, especially the crowning one of prohibition, will do to lead the re- publican battle in 1803, Some of these are being talked of and the quicker they are discarded the better for the party. They never have been any use to it and they never can be, for the reason that they are politicians for revenue only. PROHIBITIVE OlL RATES. The rich oil fields of Wyoming have been awaiting transportation facilities, the only factor lacking to make possible one of the great industries of that state. There are men in Omaha who have known for years that the oil product of Wyoming will in time supply the de- mands of the northwest. But the item of transportation has been so great that Wyoming oil could not compete with the Pennsylvania product. The rail- roads have, however, touched the oil fields of our neighboring state, which has the past year given impetus to the oilindustry. The Pennsylvania Oil com- dany has recently invested $60,000 in its wells and is more than satisfied with results, so far as product is con- cernod. The company is prepared now to ship 600 barrels of lubricating oil per month, and to sink a dozen more wells during the summer. Samples of this oil have been sent cast and the demand is more than equal to the supply. But,the railroads have vut in force a tariff that is prohibitive. It is out of all proportion to the tariffs on wool and live stock which are the chief products of Wyoming. For instance, the carload rate on cattlo from Casper to Chicago is 8110 while on oil iv is $387. Yet the rate ona carload of wool from Casper to New York, nearly twice the distance to Chicago, is but $220.50. The railroad managers have been made aware of the fact that at lTeast 600 barrels of oil per month would be shipped from Casper if the rate were reasonable and that the output can be doubled within six months. The managers know that this industry would be pushed to mammoth proportions if the railroads would show any disposition to foster it. The outrageous tariff thoy have put upon oil is stifliig an industry which might be made to bring fabulous woalth to Wyoming. It is fair to as- sumo that the railroad managers know all this much better than doos THE BEE or the people of Wyoming. Railroads are built for the business of shipping freight, and under ordinary conditions they want all they can get. But the con- ditions which surround the oil industry of Wyoming are not ordinary. When THE BEE recently declared that the oil fields of that state would beopened when the Standard Oil company got ready to permit 1t, and not before, it did not hit wide of the mark. It is a crying shame that the baneful influence of a great oil octopus can reach out into the wildsof Wyoming and crush any promising industry. It is a com- mercial crime for railroad managers to put a prohibitive tariff upon any com- modity, especially when a fair rate would mean the upbuilding of a state and prosperity to the people. Omaha, as a commercial metropolis, is vitally interested in this matter. The oil fields of Wyoming are in territory naturally tributary to this city. With their development Omaha must become the depot and the headquarters of the vast product. Our business men should join with the oil men of Wyoming in demanding a reduction in the tariff on native oil. THE OHIO CAMPAIGN. It is already apparent that the Ohio campaign this year will command gen- oral . interest. The prospects of the parties in that state are being discussed with a more than ordinary manifestation of interest for an off year, and the pos- sible effect of the success of one or the other on the future of the parties in the country is receiving consideration. The source of this interest is of course in the republican candidate, who is re- garded, perhaps to a greater oxtent than any other man in the country, as representing the republican side of the principal issue between the two great parties, and in this relation as s possivle candidate of his party in the next presidential election. It is generally conceded that if Governor McKinley is re-elected next November he will bo likely to occupy a very con- gpicuous place among those whose names the next republican national con- vention will be ealled upon to consider, while the endorsement of the policy he represents which his re-election would imply would probably serve as a stimu- lus to the party generally. It is plain that it will be impossible to keep the tariff question out of the campaign, and the result of the election will be con- strued as an expression of the people of Ohio upon this issue. If McKinlay is beaten it will make a more or less decided impression upon the country unfavorable to the policy he represents, His success would strengthen the advocates of pro- tection and might exert a considerable influence upon the course of congress and the administration with reference to the revision of the tariff. With any other man than McKinley heading the repub- lican ticket the eloction would have no special interest. He gives it command- ang importance and significance. It would scem that the democrats are likely to be a good deal perplexed in the matter of selecting a standard bearer. There are candidates enough, but no one of them quite meets the requiremonts of the situation. Ex-Governor Campbell, who has been persuaded that he should® unot refuse to become & candidate, perhaps has the best chance of being nominated, but it is a question whether he could unite and harmonize the party, his one term as governor hav- ing made him some bitter enemies. Neal, the author of the plank in the democratic national platform which de- clares protection unconstitutional, a fraud and a robbery, appears to have a considerable following, ayd he naturally foels that he deserves recognition for what he did at Chicago, believing of course, that it had more to do with dom- ooratic success |n" ‘1802 than anything else. Ho is very . much in earn- est In his desire to be a can- didate and will | probably make a strong showing - in tho conven- tion. Ex-Congressman Frank Hurd is being talked of for the gubernatorial nomination, but -while his nomination would be logical he fs so radical a free trader that the patty 'will hardly dare to nominate him. There is the same objection to Congrossman Tom Johnson, who has been twice olected from the Cloveland districty notwithstanding the fact of his being @ sipgle tax and free trade advocate. Thete are at least half a dozen other aspivants, none of whom are wholly available, The demoocrats do not propose to have a long campaign. They will hold theit convention in August and probably will not bogin their campaign before Septemt 1t is possible that the carlier organization of the ropublicans may give them some ad- vantage, but the democrats will have ample time in two months to do their fighting. NOTWITHSTANDING that most of the arable land in possession of the govern- ment open to citizen occupation has al- ready been taken up there yet remain nearly a billion acres which have not been disposed of. To be exact the total number is 966,116,383 acres, of which about 369,520,600 are located in Alaska and 576,580,783 in tho states and terri- tories. These are the figures afforded by the Drovers’ Journal in a late editorial. Certain portions of this large area are well suited for settlement, a good por- tion of it is reclaimable either by irriga- tion or drainage, while other portions of it are inaccessible mountain regions. A large portion of this is that yet unsur- veyed in the Arctic cold region of Alaska. Of these public lands, exclusive of the miltary and Indian resorvations that may be within their borders, Montana alone has 74,533,143 acres, New Moexico and Arizona 54,720,853 and 54,608,531 acres, respective! and California has over 50,000,000. Colorado has nearly 42,000,000, and Nevada something over that number. Wyoming has more pub- lic lands than California, North Dakota has about 21,000,000 and Nebraska 10,- 799,332 acres unrveclaimed. South Da- kota has 5,000,000 acres, and Utah and Idaho vacant space ranging from 34,000, 000 to 38,000,000 acres. Minnesota, Oklahoma and Arkansas have at least 5,000,000 each, Florida nearly 3,000,000 and Louisiana over 1,000,000, With the exception of Oregon, which has not so large an unoccupied area as California none of the other states has approxi- mately similar vast areas. But most of them have more or less ugoccunied tor- ritory, Mississippi has ,418 acres, Michigan 774,232, and Kansas, Missouri, Wigconsin and Alabama areas between these figure: HON. JAMES NORTH, a rock-ribbed democrat who worked harder than any other state senator for the defeat of the maximum railroad freight bill in the late legislature, was , appointed internal revenue collector by President Cleve- land. Mr. C. DI, Casper, the veteran democratic editor, who has done more honest work for his party the past year than North has done in a life time was a candidate for the postmastership at David City. He worked for the maxi- mum rate bill and for the impeachment of members of the State Board of Transportation who are mere puppets of the railway managers. The president turned him down, however, by appoint- ing J. A. Cook postmaster at David City. The inference is that democrats who have the hardihood to oppose corpor- ations can expect nothing of the demo- cratic administration No SOONER had Judge Davis an- nounced his intention to resign from the distriot bench than the inevitable peti- tion commenced to circulate. Down in the District of Columbia the candidate petition is known only to history, It is a hoodoo. Governor Crounse has been in official life in Washington and knows what a petition is worth. It scems to us that the time has come in Omaha for a vacant judgeship to seek the man, and not the man the judgeship. However, the recent appointments made to the bench in this district indicate that Gov- ernor Crounse is not influencod by vol- uminous petitions. Send On the AMdavit.

Tvs 1 T Causeless Haids; on Banks, Globe-Demoorat, The impulse which leads to runs on bsnks is, in the vast majority of cases, entirely causeless. In times like the present, when financial conditions are less favorable than ordinarily, a word spoken without thought reflecting on the solvency of a bank may start a rush of depositors on the institution con- cerned. The alarm, spreading like nxralfle fire, will quickly communicate Lo the deposi- tors of other banks in the same place and & panio seizes the comuunity, which, being read about elsewhere, arouscs a feeling of distrust and starts a goneral run. It is in this exigency that the wisdom of the entorce- ment of the time rule (of savings banks) be- comes apparent. This requirement gives depositors opportuity to think, and thinking is usually fatal to panics of this sort.

IMPEACHMENT AFTERSHOTS. Norfolk Journal: Tho Journal is pleased to note that a good many republican news- papers in this part of the state are not ready to condone the lax busines methods of the ex-impeached state officials, The republi- can party must condemn and punish the wrong-doors within 1ts ranks if it expects to regain its once strong hold on popular favor. ‘Whitewash won't do 1t. Silver Creek Times: The Record has not thought since the evidence was submitted that a case, grave enough for impeachment, was made, and neither do we believe that the legislature yould have brought the suit had a fair and impartial examination been made and both sides heard before the com- mittee instead of the “‘star chamber” work which was done.—Osceola Record. Schuyler Quill: The decision is a dis- race to the state and virtually opens the finors in all state institutions for the grossest of frauds. It passes lightly over neglect of duty, which allowed the state to be robbed of thousands of dollars, and virtually says to the officials that they may go and do like- wise and they are safo from impeachment. The decision leaves the state at the mercy of its officials, and if thefts are made there is no way of punishing the ones in charge if they plead the “good inteution” act. York Democrat: The time will come when the opinion of Judge Maxwell will be looked upon as a sound law. The majority opinion of the court written by Judge Post is a ver- dict of guilty itself. No one canread it over carefully and say that it vindicates the respondents, but on the other hand finds them as guilty on many points as Jadge Maxwell, but technically finds good reasons to acquit them. It is as pretty a case of “Yes, boys, you did it, but we will let you off this time; don’t do so any more, please.” In the name of common sense and common decency, how grave o case do you want? It was the business of these men to guard the taxpayers, and yet they stood by and saw the veople robbed, aua it is more than likely that, directly or indirectly, they themselves pocketed some of the plunder. Suppose those men had been in the private employ of tho editor of the Record and they had served his interests no better than thoy have served the interests of the state, he would have “impeached" them in a very peremptory manner] Thero appears to be a disposition on the part of someof our republican papers to palliate and oxcuse and even directly defend the late accused state officials just because they are republicaus. For our part that fact only makes us feel the more bitter against them. They had our confidence and support; they reciprocate by plundering the people and in- juring and disgracing the party which gave them their offices. They should have been 1gnominiously fired out, every one of them. Greely Citizen: Norval and Post acquitted the accused while Clief Justice Maxwell decides that every charge in the specifications has been proven and the respondents are guilty as therein charged. ‘This will not be a surprise to many. The judgment of that venerable jurist, Maxwell, who has been on tho supreme bench for twenty years and whose construction of the law has always been regarded us correct, will be taken by the greatmasses of tho people as the only” verdiot founded on the law and evidence of the case which should have been givon. But the action of the wajority of the court could not be expected to be otherwise to those who know the manner of their election. When a successor was to be nominated for Judgo Reese's place, Greeloy county elected 8 Reese dele- gation with D. C. Hall—-Reese's old friend and neighbor—at the head. A few hours after the delegation had been selected the & M. attorney at this place received a telogram from the geperal attornoys ot Lincoln to get a Norval delegation. 1u was too late, but the B, & M. attorney at ! this place silently secured the proxies of every delegate to that convention except that of Mr. Hall and cast them for Judge Norval. When a man is nominated aud elected by such methods and influcnce iv is not strange that he should yield to the in- fluence which created him and cast bis vote with that other railroad judge, Post. But the people will entertain the highest degree of respect and admiration for that great lawyer, Maxwell, whose dissenting opinion in the Boyd-Thayer case was made the ma- jority opinion by the supreme: court of the United States and whose law writings have found a place in almost every law office in the United States. Let the people reward such honesty. The subsidized republican press of the state have already commenced their work to overthrow him. He will not do their bidding. ‘They have no use for him, Let the populisis hold an early convention, nominate Judge Maxwell by acclamation and the people of all parties who desire to seo partisan trickery and railroad jobbery removed from our courts will elect him by 25,000 ma jority. e BLASTS FAOM BAM'S HORN, A good man hias no quarrel with the truth.
