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.

Among the buildings destroyed at
'Irudslmw by the cyclone was the dis
trict sohool house. This t > tiuoturo can-
lot lw rebuilt by the sohool district bo-
uauso it Is already bonded to the full

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

rionds of education generally :

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. "

The manly nnd patriotic way is to frames !
measure which will secure an honest vote am :
an honest count in northern states , and te
mnko that the law for all states alike. If it
cannot be enforced at the south , or cannot be
enforced without a kind of interposition
which the government deems inexpedient ,
that will bo the misfortune of southcn
voters , but not the fault of congress.Vhei :
southern stsites advauco'ono by ono so far in
civilization that laws uro rjspjeted and can
bo enforced , in these states also the people
will recover their right of self-government.
No other measure proposed at the present
session of congress is of greater or moro far-
reaching Importunes than this , Tlio duty ol
congress to secure honest elections is ono
wldch republican representatives cannot af
ford to uoglect , for the result In congression
al districts in ininy northern states may de
pend upon their action.

There is a very general feeling throughout
lliis congressional district that Hon. N. V.
llarlan ought to bo a candidate for congress
this fall. The very strong sentiment that
men ought to bo nominated who command the
confidence of thc > people , and the provident
impression that only sui-h men can he elected
lias awakened the republicans of this district
to the fact that Mr. linrlun is ono of the very
few republicans in the state who can com
mand the full party voTe this fall.

n Every honest prohibitionist must hold In
contempt a sneak and a spy , and though his
dishonesty and double-dealing confidence
panics are plied ostensibly in the intoro-st of
Iho prohibition cnuso , but In reality for the
cold clammy cash there Is in it. An honest
cause needs no dishonest measures to advance
t , and a reform liar , sneak nnd conlldenco
man is just as bad iis the liar , sneak and cou-
lidcncu man who makes no pretense to piety
and reform.
They Are Frauds.
Fremont Flntl.
"When the Flail advises the fanners to
Hand by the old pat-ties If they desire to work
Lho reform they crave , it cannot bo accused
af pui-tlznnship. There is no paper In No-
jraska that has greater contempt for the
[ .arty whip than the Flail , and It defies the
Jiftum of the junta and the manipulations of
these who would sot up the pins to wrest the
. outrolof any party from the hands of the
icoplo. The producers of this country do not
iced a now party , for they may control
Jitber party , nnd the third party agitation Is
only by the old , wind broken hacks that have
JCL'U kicked out of the old parties , nnd who

BOM ) TUB LOT TWICK.
George W. Plcasants tells in the supreme
court of a schema which ho claims was devised
vised by one S. M. Boyd to get two prices
out of one lot. The property In question Islet
lot ID I , of block 5 , of the city of Lincoln , nnd
is today very valuable. Pleasants says that
he bought the lot In ISM from S. M. Doyd ,
but the following year lioyd sold the prop
erty nifaln , this thno to Harrison II. Ulodgctt.
Mr. I'leasants says that ho has been living
upon the lot almost from the dulo of the pur
chase , has paid taxes upon the same and Im
proved it until it is now very valuable prop
erty. Ho was astounded recently to llnd
that persons to whom Itlodgett had sold the
lots laid claim to the property , and Plcasants
asijs that the courts silence any claims that
sut-h Individuals may present. Blodgett had
hub-divided the lots nnd made a handsome
thing by selling ) .ho fractional parts.
