Till- : urgent request of Gorman mer chants for the repeal of the duty on American pork goes to prove that pro hibitory protection is a positive injury to the trade of the nation imposing it. THK fact that Kansas City is compelled to trade at the Omaha stock market is proof as strong as holy writ that the city by the Kaw has lost its grip , and must soon pay tribute to Nebraska's metropolis.

Ton years ago Omaha ranked as alxty fourlh among Amorlcan cltlos based or the national conmia. Unolllcial conmif eslltmitOA of the population of loadln ; cities of the United States furnish i reliable basis for comparison of the ! relative growth and rank. Among tlu twonty-llvo cities of largest populatlot Omaha will for the next ton years rnnl < as twority-third. Tlioso cities will their estimated population take rank ii the following order : 1. New York 1,0-27,23' ' 2. Chlcniro I,100XX ( fl. I'hlladclphla 1,010,11 ! I. nrooUlya 0iOti7 : fi. Diiltlinoro WXMMX 0. HI. Louis 440)0 , ) ( 7. lioston.A 417,7 * S. Cincinnati .W , oo < ! ) .

Omaha iU,7f. : 21. Providence , K. I. IJIO.WH 23. Indianapolis 123UtK Among all these cities none can show aa largo si porcunligo : of growth withii : the last decade as Omaha , whoso popula tion in 1880 was thirty thousand five hundred and eighteen , which makes an Increase during ten years of three hun dred and forty-one per cent. The big four of the now northwest , vi-/ : Minneapolis , Kansas City , St. Paul and Omaha , have each shown marvelous progress and made wonderful strides within the last llvo years. Hut Omaha , although the smallest of the four cities comes tirst in percentage of growth , with Minneapolis two hundred and ninety-four per cent increase , as a good second ; St. Paul two hundred and thirty-two and Kansas City two hundred and twenty-three per cent. While ranking first us to percentage of increase , Omaha's total gain in popu lation in-ten yours exceeds that of St. Louis , Boston , Cincinnati , Buffalo , Cleveland , Pittsburg and live other cities which Imd a population of ono hundred thousand or moro in 18.30. With the exception of Boston , Omaha out strips every city in New England in population and has but two superiors in the south , while in the trans-Missouri country she is surpassed only by San Francisco and Kansas City. Omaha's commerce and industry bus kept pace with her growth in popula tion. In fsiet the per cent of incresiso in the former confirms the correctness of the count. The reasons for this growth are the incomparable resources of the surrounding country , in the infancy of dovolopomont. In spite of all rivals , of sharp competition and of injurious dis criminations , the city has steadily forged ahesul. The record of the past ten years is a proud ono. What the ensuing ton years will develop depends on si'continuance of the energy and activity which has built up a great industrial anil commercial center on a spot that was an Indian vil lage thirty-six years ago. STATK ( lllAJX INSI'KCTIOX. Omaha is now si largo grain receiving point smd her trade in this line could bo enormously increased if the legislature will enact a law to compel the inspec tion of grain. What is wanted is the appointment of a state grain inspector and woighmtiHtor at Omaha to bo paid by fees from handlers of grain at this point. Under the present system country shippers , unable to obtiiin oliicial in spection and weights at Omaha , labor under a disadvantage in getting ad vances on their shipments and HO avoid this market in favor of Chicago , where an ollicial board of weights and inspec tion oxists. In shipping to Chicago they are compelled to wait for returns , which often causes serious embarrassment. They would naturally give preference to the Omaha market if they could have Htato inspec tion. Omaha Is undoubtedly destined to become a great grain receiving point as is evidenced by the growth of her busi ness in this respect within the past two years , and it is time that provision bo made to handle this trade uroporly , and encourage its growth. The matter will bo presented to the next legislature , and wo have no doubt will receive favorable consideration. I'HKl'AltlXH t'Oll Tlio organization of tlio United States commissioners of the Columbian exposi tion is an announcement to the country that the practical work of that most im portant undertaking is to bo entered upon at once. There has already boon a jrent deal of valuable tlmo lost , and If , ho enormous tusk is to bo successfully carried out there must bo no moro delays. The only obstacle now to the steady and rapid progress of the work s the question ot a site for the exposition , but it is trobablo this will bu speedily settled since the national commissioners hnvo udicatcd their preference among the several available sites which have boon inder consideration. Solllsh Interests lave had a great deal to do with doluy- ng the determination of this question , uid these may still bo found troublesome - some , but they will hardly bo able to eng withstand tjio intlucnco of men vho , representing the entire country , can puss upon this question free from lo- sil prejudice and selllsh concern. Un- loubtedly , therefore , the preference expressed by the national commission vill prevail : The election of ox-Senator Palmer of Michigan as president of the exposition vas a judicious choice. Ho is a man of experience In practical and public af- tilrs , is fully capable of performing the irduous duties that will devolve upon din , and is in a position to devote to hem all the tlmo and attention that may > o required. The secretary also has [ ualltleutlons which peculiarly lit him or the position. It is no simple ind easy task that ia before these olll- sluls , but there will bo great honor in Its ucccssful accomplishment. With ro- jard to the general Interest in the on- orprlso , there is ample evidence that it s hearty and earnest. From all por- Ions of the country there are express- oils of the hope that it will bo the grandest exhibition of the world's In dustry , nrt , selentlnV nohlovcmont , tin ; material progress In all directions , eve hold , and there can bo no doubt that si far as this country is concerned over ; portion of it will do It utmost to make the American oxhlbl complete , Whatever ( liHappolntinon was felt at the selection of Chicago I dying out , If It has not already dlsnii pen red , and Now York and Now Englani will bo found as zealous in contributing to the success of the exposition as tin middle states and the west. The apprehension hension that foreign countries would b < indifferent to the fair , and that it wouli attract few foreign visitors because la csited in an interior city , is also fai loss general than iinnicdiutol ; after Chicago was chosen. It Is yioldlii ) to the moro reasonable view lha foreigners who will avail themselves c such an exposition for displaying thoi products are not likely to ignore tin city which a majority of the ropresenta lives of the American people , after care ful deliberation , selected as the most do slrablo place for holding it , while tin fact that Chicago is reached througl ono of the most prosperous portions o the country , and is Itself a phonom onnl example of . Amorlcan enter prise and progress , should hi a very strong inducement to Ku ropenns to visit that city. As was sail by a member of the national commission the foreigner who traverses the littli stretch between the coast and Chicago covering the space In luxury and com fort in twenty-four hours , will roturi homo to destroy the books of travel written by his preceding countrymoi and to edit a fresh and truer history o ; his journey in America. But whether foreign governments ant ] people take greater or loss interest ir the Columbian'exposition than Is hoped for the pcoplo of the United State ; must spare no effort to make it most completely and comprehen sively representative of everything American. In order that this may he done it is necessary that every state Shall consider as early us possible the question of ways and moans. Doubtless It is intended to make as nearly as prac ticable an cquitsiblo allotment among the states of space and facilities , accord ing to the relative proportions ol their products , but in this sis in all other affairs , those who show the great est zonl and interest sire likely to be the most favored. TIIK ADMISSION OF U'l'OJllXO. Two now states will enter the union before the eloso of the year , making the number of states forty-four. The pass age by the senate of the bill for the ad mission of Wyoming will probably soon Ijo followed by like action on the hill to admit Idaho , though si somewhat vigor ous light on the latter , by reason of its constitutionsil provision relating to the Mormons , is to bo expected. The demo crats in the semite will make sin issue on this with a view to po litical capital , but while they may delay they cannot de feat Idaho's admission. Tlio fact that the supreme court of the United Stsites 1ms declared , in si decision exceptionally strong in its terms , that the provision in the Idaho constitution is not repugnant to the constitution of the United States , is sufficient to justify the republicans of the senate in passing the bill for the sid- misslon of Idaho , smd this they will un doubtedly do as soon us the opposition has been given tin opportunity to put itself on record. In the case of Wyoming nothing re mains to bo done but for tlio president to approve the bill and proclaim the state a member of the union , and this will 1)0 ) done without unnecessary delay , BO that Wyoming can have both a voice and a vote in the present congress. It is not doubted that her admission will in crease the republican majority in both branches. But this is a much loss im portant consideration than the effect which the condition of statehood may resisomibly bo expected to have in promoting the material pros perity of Wyoming. That she Ims great possibilities no ono who lisis liny knowledge of her largo mineral resources can doubt , and there is every reason to expect that with the powers and privileges of statehood the enter prising pcoplo of Wyoming will lose no .imo in putting into operation the means noccssavy to the rapid development of these resources. No ono of the now stsiles was bettor equipped for entrance .nto the union than Wyoming , except in ; ho matter of population , THit her more than ono hundred thousand people are representative of the best typo of Amer ican citizens , and there need bo no ap prehension that they will /nil to . reditabty sustain a stsito government. Plio action of the senate was received throughout Wyoming with great enthu siasm , and the people of the prospective Htate may bo assured of the hearty con gratulations of the pcoplo of tlio country. Assuming the early admission of Idaho .horo will thmi remain but three terri- : qrlos Utah , New Mexico and Arixona. It is not probable that either ot these will bo admitted into the union by the present congress. A iro/m/r Ai'i'HAr , .

This t > tiuoturo can- lot lw rebuilt by the sohool district bo- uauso it Is already bonded to the full egal limit. It will tnko at least three hdusund dollars to build a school house urge enough to accommodate the ehll- Iren of Brudshaw , and unless this unount can bo raised by contributions .Jrndshaw will bo deprived of all school nullities for the coming year. To moot this emergency County Super- ntcndent Franklin of York makes the ollowing appeal , which should be gen- jrously responded to by teachers and rionds of education generally : Wo horcby solicit donations , of school dls- rlets , ollk'ew , patrons , toaehurs , and sdl oth- irs Interested In the welfare and prosperity it liradshaw , for the put-pose of rebulldlnt ; heir school house which was destroyed by ho ryclono Juno a. All donations will bo receipted , the amount and immo of donor mbllshed in this column , nnd then turned jvor to the onleors of Urodshnw school dis- rlet to bo used exclusively for hulldtntr imr- loses. K. S. IVvxKi.is , County Superintendent. BrnscmiTioNS. loorso n. Lane , state superintendent , f 10 00 U.S. Franliliu 1000 Tun unanimous decision of the Noi York courtjjjjipponli annulling the coi porn to existence of the sugar trust 1 that state , nnd placing Its affairs in th hands of a/y iver , strikes a stunnln blow at ono of the greatest combine ever organized in the country. The nt tlon was based on the application of th attorney gonornl of tlio state for an ordc revoking the charter of the North rlvu mignr refining company for havin joined the triijt. The laws of the slat prohibit fpifrtnershlps of soparat and indunuijdcnt corporations. Th trust bought to evade the hu by various nimsy oxpodlonts , but tin proof was overwhelming and the ordo was granted by the lower courts and con firmed by the court of last resort In reciting the history of the trust th court vigorously assails the dcllanco o law shown by the organization. "If cot porations , " pays the court , "can combltv and mass their forces in a solid trust with llttlo added risk to capital alrcad ; in , without lluilt to magnitude , a tempt ing and easy road Is opened to cnorinou combinations vastly exceeding in num her nnd strength any possibilities o individual ownership. The stati seeks to protect individuals rather thai combinations. " The judgment of tin court practically moans tlio corporati death of the combine. Not only has i directly robbed the public by inflating the price of the product , but it ha : fleeced scores of victims who wore in duced to invest in trust certificate under false pretenses. Doubtless at temps will bo made to revive its existence once under the favorable laws of Connecticut ticut or Now Jersey , but the fact tlm its property is in moro than ono state brings it under the ban of the fedora law , and insures its final collapse. THK statement that the Wcstphaliai pork packers o'f Germany want the re strictions upon the importation of Ameri can pork revoked- that their desire ia endorsed by the chambers of commerce of the two most important pork markets- in Germany , and that they had beoi told it was not improbable that the law would bo repealed , is reassuring intelli gence for the hog growers of America. ' The explanation of'this sictiou of the Gorman pork packers is that they have not found any advantage from the lu\ : prohibiting the importation of Ameri can pork , but this is hurdlj satisfactory except on the infer ence thsit the hog raisers of Germany have reaped 'all the benollt of high prices tinder the protection , which is very likely tiio'icasu. The government will hardly ignore such a demand , sup ported sis it-will bo by si strong public .sentiment , and it is therefore highly probable that sit no very remote date the German markets will again bo opuned to the admission bf American pork. It would then b4o gasior to secure a removal or modification of the Frcnoh restric tions. THE refusal .pf the house conferees to allow the increase of salary voted to Commissioner GrolT by the senate can not bo justified.on . the score of economy , smd in the absence of any information sis to the reason for it , it must bo assumed that the cause of refusal wsis the tcchni- csil question whether u salary that is fixed bv statute can properly bo in creased in an appropriation bill. This question wsis raised in the senate and very fully discussed , with the result that a majority of the sonsito did not find it nn obstacle to increasing the salary of the hind com missioner. A careful reading of the str- gumonts must convince any fair-minded person that the technicality has no force. Commissioner Grotl' is acknowl edged by leading democrats in congress to bo ono of the ablest and most oflictont commissioners who 1ms over adminis tered the affairs of the land ollico , and tlio justice of the proposed increase of salary has never boon questioned. This being the csiso the senate should firmly adhere to its action , and the promise is that it will do so. THE federation of railroad operatives is becoming a great power in the west. Despite the efforts of the slow going esist to prevent.tho amalgamation of the railway organizations , the movement has gained such strength in the trans- Missouri country that its success is as sured. A conference wiw hold in Den ver last wool ; , at which measures were taken to federate till orgaui/.alion of railroad employes. The conductors , who have held aloof from kindred organizations heretofore , were rep resented and alho the Railroad Telegraphers' association. Tlio result of the conference is not definitely known , but there is little doubt that sill ob stacles to a perfect union of the en gineers , firemen , conductors , hrakemcn , switchmen and Knights of Labor were removed. The advantages of federa tion tire incalculable. To the members it affords reasonable security from un just discharge or manipulation of wages , and will by example exert a mighty in- lluencu for the betterment of workingmen - men in general.
