I YET remains to be soen whother the republicans of Nebraska can win a state alection in 1894 with corporation candidates on an antimonoply platform. Now THAT the financial depression is subsiding tho directors of the Omaha club should endeavor to secure the nec- essary loan for the erection of the club house. PEOPLE up in prohibition Maine are considering the feasibility of establish- ing a hospital for the cure of inebriates and forcing every one convicted of drunkenness to undergo a course of treat- ment. DURING the week prior to election the New York City postoffice handled 1,217,346 pieces of election mail wmatter. Uncle Sam might profit from his postal revenues if election came a little oftener each year. AN ANALYSIS of the vote cast in Ne- braska at the recent election will re- veal some startling facts concerning the manner in which the corporations have interfered with the free cxpression of the people at the polls THE trial of another member of the twice-indicted gang of boodlers is in pro- With the acquittal of Lauer and Dorgan still in view the peo- ple of Nebraska hardly expect anything more from the Hubbard trial than a miscarriage of justice. THE prospective revision of the tariff upon a free trade basis has struck at least one part of the solid democratic south in a tender spot. The iron and coal interests of Alabama have sont a strong memorial to the ways and means committee against iron and coal being placed on the free list. WiLLiAM A. PINKERTON of Home- stead [ame has ventured into print in a magazine article on ‘“‘Highwaymen ot the Railroad.” This is rather suggest- ive, although it has no reference to the men who hold up the shippers and pro- ducers of the country on the steel barred highways of America. THREE things Omaha needs very badly —a metropolitan union depot, a first class fireproof hotel and a great public hall that will seat 8,000 to 10,000 people and enable us to bid for national con- ventions, reunions and musical festivals, Such a hall could also be used for an armory and art loan exhibitions, Ex-SECRETARY WHITNEY gives it as his opinion that the future of the demo- cratic party depends upon the speed and wisdom with which its representatives in congress redeem the party pledges in relation to a revenue tariff. If so the prospects for the future of the demo- cratic party are not very promising for + the unterrified, SECRETARY MORTON “ Is reported to have said that he rejoices at tvhe result of the election in Ohio, because it im. proves the prospect of “‘a fair and square stund-up battle between the arch repre- sontative of protection and some sturdy democrat identified with tariff reform.” We ave glad to hear that Mr. Morton is satisfied with the result in Ohio. THE joy of the state house ring over the election of Judge Harrison is not altogether unmixed with sorrow. The mournful fact remains that in order to eleet Harrison the party consented in advance to fight a defensive campaign in 184, and the members of the ring fear nothing move than a campaign in which they may be called upon to de- fend their own shorteomings. — 1718 not too early to commence an agitation in Omaha in fayor of a marked inerease in the assessed valuation of the property of the city. Omaha has been handicapped so long by ridiculously low assessments that a radical departure in the future will have a wonderfully stimulating effect upon the prosperity and credit of the city. The time has come when shortsighted policy should give way to a move progressive and en- terprising spirit. THE industrial conditions of the coun- try are extremely favorable to a marked rvovival in all lines of trade. Nothing stands in the way but the speedy action of congress in clearing away many of the doubts which now harass the busi- ness interests of the country as to the future of the currency and tavift. Another interminable waste of ‘words will retard business revival more than any other cause. Business und not ora- tory should be the motto of the regular FU.UIE OF THE SILVER STAT. While the politicians of the silver states coutinue to protest and threaten, | believing this futile course necessary | in or to keep themselves b fore the people, the practica busincss men of most of those | states are taking & common sense view of the situation and applying them- selves 1o the task of utilizing sueh othor resources besides silver mining as will keep thoir states in the path of pro- | gress. According to the dire predictions | of the free silver advocates in congress | the discontinuance of government purchases of silver would be im- mediately followed by universal desola- tion in the silver producing states. A Colorado senator shed tears as he pic- tured on the floor of the senate the fear- ful conditions which he imagined would ensue in his own and other silver states in the event of the government stopping the purchases of silver. Thus far noth- ing has happened to verify this gloomy proph It is true that the peopie of tho silver states interested in mining have had a somewhat severe experi- ence. A great many were thrown out of employment and compelled tomigrate and others who remained saw thei ings disappear and some of them have doubtless suffered more or less hy ship. Other interests have necessa been affected, so that those states have for the last two or three months been much less prosperous than formerly and cannot reasonably bo expected to fully recover for some time to come. But there is no general desolation, nor does there appear to be any danger of such a condi- tion overtaking any of these states, un- less it be Nevada, which has no other resource than that of mining. As to Colorado, the first of the silver- producing states, the information is that she is rapidly recovering from the ef- tback which her silver in- Silver is still being mined there and will continue to be a source of wealth to the state. At the presont mar- ket price of the white metal, which is higher than just before the passage of the bill stopping government purchases, there is a profit in every ounce mined, and there is reason to beliove that this will continue to be the case. The cost of production will be still further chean- ened, while it is not probable that the world's demand for silver will fall ma- terially, if at all, below what it is at present. But if this were not the case Colorado need not become desolate. She is well supplied with coal and iron, for which there is & practically unlimited market, and which her own capital and enterprisa can turn into manufactured products that in time would give returns as great or greater than she ever got from silver production. It cannotfail to be a mcst important thing for the material devel- opment of that state if the existing con- ditions shall induce her people to give more attention toothér sources of wealth and prosperity than that of silver, too great dependence upon which, it is now seen, hus been the mistake of the past. ‘What is true of Colorado is in a meas- ure also true of most of the other silver- producing states and territories. Mon- tana and Idaho will not find it necessary to stop producing silver, for the world has not ceased to want that metal, but they will see the expediency of | bending their efforts to development in othor directions, to the utilization of other resources which until now have been neglected, and the results of this cannot be otherwise than highly advan- tageous. From this view of the situa- tion it must be plain that the future of the siiver statos is far from being hope- less, and that if their people still have the energy and enterprise which have distinguished them in the past there is no possibility of the gloomy forebodings and prophesies of some of their repre- sentatives in«<congress being realized. ANOTHER TOTTERING TRUST, There is a flattering prospect that the formidable combination of iron manu- facturers which has so long effectually controlled the price of steel rails will be broken up by the action of the Carnegie Steel company in reducing the price of rails 85 per ton. This radical reduction brings the price of steel rails down to a point at which they have never sold before. The Carnegie company, em- bracing as it does the largest and best cquipped plants in the world, is doubtless abundantly able to maintain the reduced price at a profit. The smaller companies will be forced to accept the alternative of suspension or competition. They can only compote with the Carnegie company by forming another combination, but it is doubtful whether a new combination could be made strong enough to bring the big { company to terms. Inview of this al- most evident fact, it is more than likely that the trust has received its death blow and that for a considerable period, at least, the price of steel rails will be 80 low as to stimulate consumption in a marked degree. The disruption of the steel rail trust, when finally accomplished, will prove an important factor in the revival of in- dustry in this country. * The efiects of the marked reduction in the price of rails may not be noticeable for many months for the reason that railroad de- velopment in the west is in advance of the actual needs of the eountry. The tendency in railway circles for the next | oighteen months is more likely to be in the direction of consolidation thun in expansion. But 1t is almost certain that within two years many important rail- way econstruction enterprises will be taken up in earnest. The present reduction in the price of rails will, nevertheless, have a stimu- luting effect upon the ivon industry. It makes it possible for older companies to replace worn out rails with new ones. It will clean up accumulated stocks. It will doubtless stimulate other branches of the iron and steel trade and create & larger demand for iron ore anda coke. More than this, it will impart a more buoyant tone to the market and enable promoters of new enterprises to elabor- ate their plans for future development of new territory, There can be no doubt of the ultimate return of industrial activity in the United States, but industrial revival wust pecessarily oome slowly. The | monoyed fntarests of the country must | the Iatter NeEF quickly rosponded to have time to measuro the full offects of | the currency and tariff revisions that arc at presont occupying tho attention of cong ress, plexing as thoy may seem at the present time, cannot, long remain unsettled. When they ‘are sottled capital will again seck investment in new and wider anncls and industry will return as quickly as it departed. The disraption of the great trusts, which at the present time limit competition, retard develop- ment and resteict production, will has- ten the return of industrial activity. The breaking up of the steel trusts will bo among the most important factors in the revival of trade. STAND UP FOR OMAH Twenty-five man in ars aro every Omaha stood shoulder to shoulder with his neighbor in laboring in- cessantly for the promotion of the ma- terial welfare and growth of Omaha. In the great contest that gave Omaha com- mercial supremacy among the towns that sought to control the trade of the vegion between the Missouri and the Rocky Mountain states Omaha van- quished all competitors because here bankers, merchants and manufacturers one and all stood up for Omaha, After the citvhad passed the 100,000 population mile post diverging interests and su- preme selfishnoss began to divide our people into factions who broke up the unity so essential for continued growth and prosperily of this city. Some of our heaviest capitalists and property owners actually decried Omaha in the money centers of tho cast and kept investors away by vepresenting that property in Omaha was extrava- gantly high and our chances of expan- sion vory limited for o come. Such talk has had a very detrimental effect, not only by keeping away foreign capital, but by discouraging home in- vestors and home enterprises. As a matter of fact there is not another city in the eountry of equal population that has & more promising outlook of sub- stantial growth than Omaha. No other city west of Chicago hasas prolific o country tributary to it. We are in the very heart of the corw and cattlo belt and on the line of the greatest cities between the two oceans. There is not another city of half the population that Omaha boasts today where business and residence property and suburban home property is as cheap as it is in Omaha. Kansas Gity, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Denver real estate is from 50 to 100 per cent higher than it is in Omaha, and the best corners in Salt Lake, Portland and Seattlo command a higher price than do the choicest business lots in Omaha. And yet none of those cities have in- vested half as much 1n substantial pub- lic improvements inthe shape of pave: ments and sewers. Kansas City, Min- neapolis and St. Paul are paved with wooden blocks almost entirely, St. Paul | and Kansas City have narrow, crooked streets. Denver has done very littie paving and Salt Lake has only begun tho work of paving “this season. Its streets and buildings depend upon sur- face drainage. Portland's streets are wretchedly paved with macadam and wooden block and her sewer systom is scarcely begun. Seattle is paved with wooden blocks and her drainage, like that of Salt Lake, is merely surface. ‘With the single exception of Minne- apolis, Omaha excels all the cities named in the extent of manufactures and she offsets the grain and lumber mills of Minneapolis with her great meat packing industry All that Omaha now needs is concert of action on the part of her business men and property owners and an energetic campaign this winter for the coming season. If everybody in Omaha will stand up for Omaha and exert his influ- ence for developing the trade and re- sources of Omaha this city will forge ahead during the next few yoars asno other western city excepting Chicago has during the last decade. HONDURAS APOLUGIZES. The announcement that the govern- ment of Honduras has disavowed the action of its officers who fired upon a ves- sel sailing under the United States flag and bearing upon it a United States minister, and has offered to make any reasonable reparation, must be received with inward gratification by every one who has a pauriotic regard for the in- ternational standing - of our countr; Not that there was at any m ment any doubt that the govern- ment of Honduras would apologize for the unwarranted and hostile action. Honduras values too highly the good will and friendship of the United States to forfeit it so lightly, Without the recognition of this government it could not long hold its independent con- Jition among the republics of Central America, aad to apologize was in reality the only possiblo course for it to pursuo, The cou of the United Stutesin this affuir has been both dignified and firm. Unwilling to take any action what~ ever upon the fivst rumor of the outrage, an immediate protest wus filed, together with a demand for an explanation so 5000 as the announcement was verified by dispatches from Minister Baker. On the fuce of the report there conld he no justification for firing upon a yessel flying a friendly flag, even though its master had been wrong in refusing to deliver up the passenger whom the Honduras authorit demanded, = If the Honduras government had any cause for complaint at all it afforded grounds for diplomatic representation and remonstrance. The presence of an American minister on board the vessel perhaps added to the character of the insult, but thut was werely fortuitous, and his absence would have made scarcely less a violation of international comity. International usage prescribes a prompt disavowal and apolugy to the offended nation iu cases of this kind, to- gether with such reparation us the na- ture of the act might suggest. The statemeat ol Secretary Greshawm indi- cates that he is inclined to be satisfied with the apology that has been offered, and, inasmuch as no material injury has been inflicted, the matter will probably be dropped as it is. The United State: certainly hus no reason to refvse a con- tinued friendship with Hounduvas after But these questions, per- | | the United States in the Union Pacific its deman THE selectibf of Mr. Coudert as ong¢ Frederick R. the representatives of receivership, dting as it does within a few days afteg; fhe overwhelming demo- cratic defeat inNow York, is not with- out its political spect. To be sure, Mr. Coudert has beén favored before with the appointméht to lncrative govern- ment offices aiif’ is himself a lawyer of no little prominence at the New York bar. But he; has of late more than ever stood for the anti-snap- per element in Now York stato politics. He was one of the most active leaders in the recent revolt against the machine dictation of Maynard for the New York court of appeals, and contributod as much as any other individual to the de- feat of the democratic ticket in that state. His preforence at this momont by the administration at Washington ©oes to support the inference that Presi- dent Cloveland intends to jump on the winning horse and entirely ropudiate tho Hill-Murphy-Sheehan machine in the Empire state. This either dis- countenances the story that the president told one of his followers to go home and vote the straight democratic ticket from Maynard down, or it iilus- trates the nimbleness of the administra- tlon In springing from one side to another. The recognition of Mr. Coudert must be taken as an approval of his course in opposing Maynard in spite of the latter's regular convention nomina- tion. A LONDON dispatch reports that the Brazilian insurgents have decided to hoist the imperial flag and divect their efforts toward the rvestoration of the monarchy. This is possible, but hardly probable, though Admiral Mello may bo desperate enougn to do anything. 1f the report should be verified it would be pretty conclusive evidence that the insurgents were receiving encouvage- ment from Burope and nothing better could happen for the Brazilian govern- ment. As matters now stand the United States is occupying the posi- tion, in the language of Secretary Gresham, of an “impartial observer,” but as soon as it should become cvident that the insurgents were re- ceiving Buropean aidand comfort the at- titude of this government would be changed. It would then become, neces- sary for us to act and it is not to be doubted that the, Brazilian government could command both the moral influence and the physical’ power} of this country to help it in maintaining itself ngainst the insurgents.

Such a sentiment is to be deplored. . The law and order element in Cass county is cor- tainly in the majority and ivshould as- sert itsell 'from this time forward. The crime was undoubtedly an atrocious one, but in view of the fact that the convic tion of the murderers will surely follow a short and inexpensive trial there is every reason for moderation. Nobraska has been disgraced by lynch law too often in the past and the practice should be discouraged from this time on. The people of Cass county ave in a position to set & worthy example to the rest of the state. WE never seem to do anything in the way of public improvements or public buildings without blundering or econo- mizing at the wrong end. This is true of the postoffice location and public building; of the city hall and public library building. The latter was de- signed to be a strictly fireproof building, but for some reason, which has not yet been ascertained, the roof is to be laid upon lumber supports. After incurring the expense for steel beams und tile partitions it is very strange that any combustible material should be inserted under the most vulnerable part of the building. To be sure the roof cover will be fireproof, but there should be no lum- ber or timber used anywherein a strictly fireproof building, outside, possibly, of the doors, window frames and bases. THE bogus bond investment swindles bave not vet gotten out of the toils of the law, although the latest reports say that thewr promoters are working tooth and nail to devise some means by which they can evade the severity of the postal laws against lotteries. They have up to this time been excluded from the mails solely on the ground that they were in the nature of lotteries, but their persistence promises to secure a decision that they are frauds puve and simple. The longer they arg permitted to oper- ate the longer beesines the list of their unfortunate dupes. | ——— JUST keep your eye on the telegraphic columns of THE B and compare them with those of other dailies published in this section.
