THE < 4tlrof March.ends the strife
* 3 f < - *
o thotSls't'Coilirress.
FitEE silver IWR a ray o hope ,
but it may be blotted out.
SILVER bullion has receded in
price until the shrinkage is about
20 per cent.
THE directors of the World's
iTair are haunted by the ghost of
a § 5,000,000 deficiency.
THE committee on alien owner
ship of land found 11,000,000 acres
owned by British subjects.
A KANSAS legislator has intro
duced a bill for the people to elect
the official organ of the county or
citv.
IT is estimated that the grand
O
total of the appropriations of the
current legislature will bo nearly
$250,00.
THE TRIBUNE bespeaks i'or more
farming and less politics , this
coming season. It will bring
about better results , especially for
the industrious farmer.
THE TRIBUNE is under oblijja-
tious to Senators Paddock and
Manderson , Congressman Laws
and Secretary of State Allen for
valuable public documents.
IT is confidently asserted that
the President will call an extra
session of the Senate on the 4th of
March or immediately afterwards ,
the business to be of unusual im
portance.
WITH no state institution in
Southwestern Nebraska , west of
Hastings , it was hardly expected
that the righteous claims of the
Republican Valley would be utter
ly ignored for an east end county.
THE location of another state
institution in the eastern part of
the state indicates most conclusive
ly that Western
Nebraska has no
claims save those her votes can
command. And the east side so
far has the majority votes.
IN 1890 , despite the "panic , " on
ly one person out of 102 engaged
in business failed , while in 1889
the number was one cut of ninety-
seven and in 1888 one out of nine
ty-eight. This was a very good
record , but 1891 will probably beat
it.
FOLLOWING the timely example
of tha Nebraska senate , the Kan
sas upper house proclaims its op
position to revolutionary or vis
ionary laws. . The condition of
both states demand Jaws that will
encourage and protect investors ,
and afford such security as will
promote the influx of capital and
develop their stagnant resources.

THE business of the pension
office during the past seven months
refutes the claim that an extraor
dinary deficiency will exist in the
pension account at the end of the
fiscal year. The number of claims
filed under the dependent pension
law exceed half a million. Of these
it is estimated 80,000 will be al
lowed the first year , involving ° au
expense of § 5,000,000. To this
may bo added original claims
under other laws , estimated at
§ 17,000,000 for the fiscal year ,
making a total of § 22,000,000 of
new pensions , a falling off of
$10,000,000 compared with the
preceeding fiscal year. The com
missioner of pensions is confident ,
judging from the expression of the
past seven months , that the act of
June , 1890 , will materially reduce
the annual value of pensions.
* THE complaint of Mr. Oxnard
that the house took action on the
sugar bounty business and passed
the repealing act without due in
vestigation of the facts in the case ,
is doubtless well founded. It is
dangerous to pass on important
measures of this kind , with which
the future of Nebraska-is BO inti
mately bound , without a full and
free conference with all parties at
interest.
THE idea has not yet penetrated
the Eastern Nebraskan's noddle
that the state is as to width from
east to west nearly 500 miles ; or
the principle of justice has not be
come very firmly established in
their hearts. Else in the location
of state institutions the western
two-thirds of the state would not
be so continuously slighted to the
advantage of the more populous
and wealthy eastern one-third.
Broaden your minds and hearts ,
gentlemen , to a comprehension of
the entire state.
THE proclamation of reciprocity
between the United States and
Brazil hits our democratic contem
poraries in that region of the
stomach popularly described as
"between wind and water. " They
were all for reciprocity with a big
"R , " until they found that it
wasn't going to divide the republi
can party. Then they made the
fatal mistake of voting in a body
in congress against it. Now it
has come and is hailed with de
light by the producers of the
country , aud the chagrin of the
party without principle , but with
a great appetite , is exceedingly
amusing.
THE experience of other states
should serve as a warning to the
legislature to exercise the greatest
care in drafting irrigation laws.
The present discussion of the sub
ject serves to enlighten members
on the methods pursued in the
mountain states , but the conditions
under which Nebraska labors de
mands laws which , while develop
ing irrigation , will uot foster a mo
nopoly of water rights. This is a
vital point. Under the stimulus
of sudden popularity the legisla
ture is liable to go too far and
grant rights and privileges which
would prove a permanent menace
to the prosperity of the western
counties. Bee.
SPECULATION has been abnor
mally developed. The currency
has been contracted , the poor are
growing poorer and the rich
richer. In speculation both par
ties , buyer and seller , have to pa
tronize the banks and both are
accommodated on the offer of good
collateral. The man that wins
must pay for his loan and the one
who loses lets the bank dispose of
his collateral and so the fame
Ogees
goes on , and fortunes are made
and fortunes are lost. Three-
fourths of the loans made in New
York today are call loans which
means loans for speculation. No
legitimate busiiies can be conduct
ed on call loans.
THE ANSWER of Governor Boyd
to the petition of his predecessor
for a writ of quo warranto , fails to
traverse any of the facts set up by
Governor Thayer as a basis of the
writ applied for , but merely alleges
that Thayer has no right to ask
for a writ and the facts set up as
to the citizenship of Boyd do not
constitute a sufficient case for call
ing him into court by quo Avar-
ranto. Then the governor- says
that having been declared elected
and having taken the oath of office
he is entitled to serve out his term
in peace. The answer is a disap
pointment to such of the govern
or's friends as believed that he
would deny the charge that he was
not a citizen of the United States
and had not been two years before
his election to the office of govern
or , as set forth under affidavit in
the petition of complaint-Journal.
IRRIGATION is the problem of
Nebraska's development. It should
have the support and attention of
eveiy man having anything at stake
in the future of the state. In the
last six months Nebraska has been
the victim of a national advertise
ment of the wrong kind. It is now
the interest of everybody having
his home or capital here to wipe
out the memory of last summer's
catastrophe with some grand
achievements. The eastern pub
lic draws no distinction with this
section of the state. It knows that
an appropriation of § 1,000,000 has
been asked of Congress to aid the
destitute settlers. There is not a
merchant , banker , railroad nor real
estate speculator who is not inter
ested in preventing a re-currence
of the drouth. Thus irrigation be
comes of vital importance to the
state generally. In discussing this
question , we are speaking of agri
culture pure and simple and this
has not been a profitable occupa
tion. The prosperous farmer can
stand an occasional affliction , but
a continued failure effects the
state. The farmers of Western
Nebraska are known to be a hardy
set of yeoman who can endure un
told hardships , yet even this be
comes monotonous. If then , the
enterprising and energetic men of
Nebraska can make the desert a
garden aud put prosperity where
distress now flourishes are there
not untold possibilities of growth
in the next ten years ? The con
vention held here last Saturday
will undoubtedly bear good fruit
and the meeting in Lincoln will
also be conducive of good results.
The present agitation has resulted
in a compact and aggressive or
ganization of the friends of irriga
tion. It is a clean cut and definite
movement aiming at the accom
plishment of specific results.

THE editor of this paper is tolerably
erably familiar with western Ne
braska. There probably isn't a
county that he hasn't camped in
and travelled over during the last
twenty years. He has tried to
keep his eyes and ears open all
the time. He had the advantage
of wide reading , a smattering of
geology and meteorology and a
very inquisitive tongue. This
much of introductory to justify
what he is going to say.
The only way to make western
Nebraska a fit place for men to
make a living is to irrigate all
lands to which water can be brought
and abandon the remainder to graz
ing. The details would be simple
and would adjust themselves as
soon as the settlers upon dry di
vides will accept the fact that they
cannot live where they are.
No better stock country exists
on earth than the great plateau of
which western Nebraska is the
best portion. Where irrigated the
soil produces bountiful crops. Cat
tle and horses could range during
the summer and be corralled and
fed in the winter. Dairies would
pay. Feeding beef would pay.
The products of that section would
sell for cash and never lack a
market. Instead of a region of
doubt , suffering and destitution , it
would be one of settled prosperity.
The population would be limited
in number , but would be gathered
into compact settlements. Lincoln

SOMETHING has disagreed with
Professor Foster , the weather
prophet of the Missouri valley , and
he reads in the stars and planets
a record of approaching storms
and cyclones that will be the most
terrible ever known to this region.
The trouble begins about the first
of May and lasts a year. Probably
Professor Foster has a balance at
the bank which he desires to in
vest in cheap real estate to hold
over one year for a rise.
