TJIUIK of the great packing1 h ousos of

is evident , however , that the real ob

has been secured just beyond the
Indiana boundary , on which the factories
will bo started and the town built. Tlio
annual business of tlio three firms
amounts toono hundred and fifty millions.
Possessing ample capital and the ability
to successfully manage any undertaking ,
there is no doubt that their project will

grateful is that it costs nothing. To
candidates who have had tlio fat fried
out of them at every turn and have hud

bonoyard. it will prove a priceless boon
to loara that the power of psychic force
affords , a balm for mutilated hopes and

in disguise. Long live the slgnor.

Carefully compiled returns from all

eon , glvo James K. Boyil a plurality of
a fraction moro than one thousand votes
over Powers , independent people's can
didate for governor , and throe thou
sand ever lllchards , republican candl-
late.
In view of the fnct that the returns
presented by THE Din ; are nearly all
olllcliil and the vote in the two tmro-
ported counties cannot exceed two
hundred , it is manifest that James E.
Boyrt 1ms been elected governor.
According to the returns rccolvcd ut
republican headquarters it la almost
certain that with the oxconllon of gov
ernor , nil cnndldnles on the republican
state ticket have boon elected by major
ities ranging from two to four thousand.
It Is impossible as yet for 119 to print the
returns on state ofllcers , but wo shall
endeavor to do so in our next issue.

The close contest on the Btuto ticket
very naturally provokes the inquiry
what the next legislature has to do with
the returns and to what extent it can In-
tcrp&so for or against any particular
candidate. Wo will outline briefly Iho
functions of Iho legislature and Its
authority in determining' the result of
the Btato elections.
Under Iho constitution , the legislatures
or rather each of its two houses , is the
judge of the election mid qualification of
its own mcmborn. In other words , the
legislature hasabjolutopower to deter
mine who is or is not entitled to a se.it
but in so doing1 it must con
duct Us inquiry in conformity
with the election laws , which
require that any candidate for tie ] legis
lature , who for any reason dc&lres to
contest the beat of his opponent must
serve duo notice upon him wHhin a fixed
time after the election , setting forth the
points upon which ho expects to estab
lish his rlijht to the seat , and designat
ing a notary before whom testimony is
to bo taken to establish this right. This
testimony is usually placed before the
legislature and that body may go behind -
hind the returns and render a lliuil de
cision as a majority of its members mx
doom just. From this decision there is
no appeal.
It is altogether different with regard
lo stnto ollicors. Under the law the
various county clerks are required to
forward to the secretary of state
the aggregate number- voles cast for
each candidate in duplicate and certify
to the same under oath as being a cor
rect return as inado by the county board
of canvassers. Tlio sccrqlary of btato is
required to preserve ono bet of these
county returns , scaled , und present the
same to the legislature , with n tabulated
exhibit o ! tlio returns as ho finds them
, n the other sot.
As soon as the two houses of the legis
lature are duly organized they moot in
| oint convention , which body becomes a
state hohrd of canvassers. They break
open the sealed envelopes containing the
county returns and verify them
with the exhibit placed in tholr
hands by Iho secretary of state. If the
footings correspond and prove correct ,
the president of the senate , who In this
instance will bo Lieutenant Governor
Moihlojohn , will publicly declare each
candidate who has received a majority
or plurality of the vote catt for any olllco
duly elected. This act ends all connec
tion of the legislature with the canvass
of state election returns. The legislature
has no power to alter or modify any of
the returns except so far as an error may
appear in the footings inado by the
county canvassers or secretary of state.
The enl way any candidate for u Btato
olllco may contest the election of either
of his competitors Is by process of law
through the courts. This proce&s is pro
scribed in our statutes and requires the
taking of testimony as regards fraud or
miscount , just the same as is provided
for contofetnnts of county or city olliocrs.

For several reasons the people of Nebraska
braska have just now an especial oppor
tunity to push the stata forward in a now
and promising path of development.
In the first place the danger of prohi
bition has boon laid. Alone of the belt
of agricultural states stretching from
the Indian territory to Canada , Nebraska
braska has voted against the policy that
makes capitalists distrustful , discourages
investment and injures material pros 9f
perity. Much now capital is now ready
to flow in and much moro can bo induced
tocomo this way by proper effort on the
part of enterprising communities and of f
the statons a wholo.
Another thing which should stir the
peoulo of Nebraska to unwonted activity \
nt this time is the importance of having
the etato in the best possible condition
in 1693. lu that year wo hope
to attract thousands of visitors
through our exhibit at the world's fair ,
and to interest capital and now popula
tion by the opportunities offered by the
prosperity of the state. The whole west
will receive a dogreoof attention in 1893
that it has uovor before enjoyed. All
western states will then bo rivals for the
good opinion of visitors and the solid re
wards which will accompany it. It is
not too early to plan and worker this
end.
end.Tho
The now legislature will bo asked to
provide lilwrnlly for the &tato's repre
sentation at Chicago. It will probably
bo asked also to put in operation some
practical bohemo for advertising the
.stato'sadvantages mid encouraging im
migration. The effort to accomplish
this by moans of a dovelomuout bocloty
nllod. It is a movement that can uc
coed only by the aid of the Btato which
B lo bo benefited by its results.
Now Is the tlrao for all Nebraska pco-
plo to unlto In an earnest effort to en-
lunco the greatness of Nebraska. Suc
cess in such an effort means prosperity
or all.
AND VUllLlO S'.iFKtr.
The oxtrnordlnnrjinumbor of fatalities
on the railroads of Ihis country during
the last few months 1ms invited serious
consideration of the question whether
measure's should not bo adopted , both
national and stnlo , requiring railway
companies to make belter provision than
.hoy . now generally do against avoidable
accidents. The last report of the inter
state commerce commission contains sta
tistics of railway accidents for ten years ,
ind the statement shows that during the
two years of ISSSnnd 18S9 the railroads
tilled ever eleven thousand persons and
.njurod fifty-two thousand , of the latter
forty thousand being employes. This is
a most alarming exhibit , and It will bo
rendered still moro so when the record
of this year's casulties'is added. It is es
pecially significant as showing the dan-
porous nature of railway em ploy mo nt.
During the last two years there was ono
death for every three hundred and fifty-
seven employes and ono injury for every
thirty-five.
No such havoc as this happens on Eu
ropean railroads. In England the num
ber of railway employes killeil in 1S88
was one in ovaryeight , hundred and sov-
onty-li vo , and the number injured ono in
ovcry ono hundred and fifty-eight. The
statistics of passengers killed and
injured are still moro favorable to
English railway management. Tlio
French statistics compare favorably
with these of England. It Is true , as
the report of the interstate commerce
commission says , that the conditions of
tra\ol hero are different from these in
England , but it has been well remarked
that this fact does not change the gen
eral principle that railway trulllo can bo
rendered much moro soouro hero by the
action of the companies themselves in
adopting moro complete equipments and
enforcing a higher ilogroo of disclplineor
by moro stringent legal roslricllons and
regulations. In England juries are
ready to reward exemplary damages to
any parson who has boon injured iu a
railway accident , or to his relatives in
casoof his death from such a cause. The
authorities iniist upon the adoption of
lifo-saving' appliances , and tlio speed of
trains is proportioned to tin weight of
rails , tlu ) weight and capacity of loco
motives , etc. There is a rigorous inves
tigation of accidents by competent men ,
whoso conclusions and recommendations
are respected. A wise plan for the re
duction of fatalities is found lo bo the
increase of the cost of accidents to the
railroads concerned , und the applica
tion of the 7 > rinciplo would doubtless bo
found equally serviceable in this coun
try.
try.Tho
The number and frequency of railway
accidents in the United States , and
the very dangerous nature ot
railway employment hero , un
questionably duo very largely
to the neglect of the companies to pro
vide proper and adcquata safeguards ,
make a most urgent demand for legisla
tion that will eompol the railroad com
panies , under severe penalties , to use
every precaution and appliance for so-
ouring greater safety to the public and
to their employes. A record of sixty-
two thousand persons killed and injured
during two ycaiM is a startling indict
ment of our railway management , and
tbero is liltlo reason lo expect that tlio
companies will voluntarily provide the
remedies. Tills is u mailer which should
receive the serious attention of tlio next
legislature of Nebraska.

The rccont outrageous attacks ol the
prohibition hirolimrs on the census of
Omaha furnished the detractors of tlio
city with texts for attacks on the accu
racy of Iho enuinuration. It was juicy
moat for St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Kansas City pounced upon It as drown
ing man grasps at straws , anil Denver
hailed the prohibition fuko as proof pos
itive of wholesale btulling. THK BISK ef
fectually exploded the malicious canard
at the time , but tlio result of the olec-
lion furnishes additional evidence of Iho
correctness of Iho count.
Tlio vote east by Iho respective cities
last Tuesday is as follows :
Minneapolis 20,051

lows :
Minneapolis 104,738
Omaha IHO.TOO
St. Paul ii3aoi ;
Kansas City 13.,000. ,
Denver 120,000
While the ratio of _ vote to population
in Omaha and Minneapolis is practically
the same , St. Paul , Kansas City , . and
Denver show a mnrkod discrepancy. In
Kansas Cily tlio election did not call out
a full volo. Denver and St. Paul hud ;
every incentive to bring out a repre
sentative voto. The five cities maintain
in the number of votes cast tlio position
given them in the census. The figures
leave the envious critics of Omaha with
out a peg on which to hang their assor-
lions.
EDUCATION Itf TUG SOUTH.
At Iho recent mooting of the Freed-
men's Aid and Southern Education so
ciety Interesting statistics were pre
sented showing the progress of education
in the south. Since the uar there hnvo
been expended in the sixteen southern
states six million dollars for the educa
tion of the poor whites nnd of the col
ored pooplo. Eleven colleges and twenty-
eight academics hnvo boon established.
.
Industrial training forms a fonturo of
the educational work , nnd hist year over
two thousand men andVomon received
such trniniiifr and Avero thus enabled do
become independent und solf-rolinnl.
There are ever flvo thousand traveling
preachers oprosenlinp an nggrognlo
population of Iwo million , the church
communicants numbering ever half a
million , Kspoclal interest is shown by
both whites and blacks in the training
schools , which nro kept crowded.
But while most satisfactory progress
has boon made , there is still an enor
mous work to bo done in reclaim Ing the
lllltorato. ItiJho section ever which the
BOfloty presides nearly two million poor
whites and ovof three million colored
people cannot .wrjto , while tholr moral
education haa bctma.3 much neglected as
tholr intellectual. Ono of the most
sorlous obstacle encountered by the BO-
cloty is the hostility to its schools of the
better clius of whites. A great deal of
prejudice still oxisla , but It is gradually
giving way , ana from what has boon ac
complished thcro"ls'reuson to hope that
within a few years It will have so far
disappeared as to bo no longer trouble
some. * < 'I"
All the facts relative to the progress
of the negro in education show the devel
opment of the ruco slnco Its emancipa
tion to bo most remarkable. Twenty-
five years ago they owned not oven a
cabin , and lliey were forbidden to learn
to rend or write. Now they own houses
and many of them can read and write ,
while In tholr ranks are physicians , law
yers , clergymen , skilled mechanics and
arllsiins. Tlioyhavo demonstrated the
capacity of the race for intellectual ad
vancement , and having done this nothing -
ing will now fitay its progress. Said ono
of the members of the society : "Educalo
the negro , and the greatest problem
thrcatoning the safety of this country
will bo triumphantly solved * " Southern
sentiment regarding public education
and its extension to both the poor whiles
and the colored people has been growing
moro liberal for bovoral years , partlcu-
lurly in those portions of the south
where Industrial development has had
its natural ofTecl in modifying prejudice ,
and progress of this kind is certain to go
on. It may bo checked from time lo
time , but it cannot bo stopped. The
outlook for the material advance of the
south is entirely hopeful , and with Its
development in this direction must come
tlio intellectual progress of nil its people
ple , the blacks as well as Iho whites.
ma E/P TKVST ,
Dispatches from Chicago toll the story
of the formation of another big bcof
combine. It appears that several of the
largest packing houses in Chicago have
agreed to soil their plants to a company
of English capitalists , and that by this
means a concern larger than any indi
vidual firm now in existence will come
into the field.
The business \ \ ill bo conducted with
foreign capital and on an enormous
&calo. The present understanding
among the packers is about as close us it
could bo , so that the new company ,
colossal as it is , will perhaps produce no
immediate effect on prices. But there
are two features of this transfer that
will not impress'tbo public favorably.
In the first place , the fact that English
capitalists are anxious to pay a great
price for these ) packing houses will
strengthen th popular belief that the
profits of tjfoj packers are out
of all reasonable proportion to
the profits of the men who
feed stock on the Ipralries of the west.
And , further , that tboso unreasonable
nrofits rob the consumer on ono hand
as they do the producer on the other.
In the second placd , thin is. another
and a vary loug stop toward the concen
tration of a , great business in Die hands
11 few. What makes this a moro vital
mutter is the further fuct that the
monopoly deals with the food of the people
ple and touches both the pocket and
the stomach nerves of every man.
The tendency of the times is toward
combinations of capitalists nt the ex
pense of the people , and the psoplo are
gelling into a very aggressive mood
about it. For those reasons the stroke
of enterprise recorded in recent djs-
patches from Chicago will not bo hailed
with any signs of hilarious delight.
TIIK HETUllS OF RO.Y
The defeat of prohibition by a ma
jority so largo as to remove all fear of
that question being again submitted to
the vote of the pooplb of Nebraska for
many years , if ever , lias produced a gen
eral restoration of confidence in busi
ness circles. TIIK Bui : comes into daily
contact with men in all departments of
trade and enterprise , and it finds the
universal fooling to bo that Nebraska
and its metropolis are assured a period
of development and progress unsurpassed
in results in the history of the btulo. All
expression is that of unqualified faith
in the fulure. It is not a boom
than intelligent and practical men
are looking for , but a steady ,
sound and substantial growth. They expect -
poct that Nebraska will get its full
Bhuro of the people drifting from the .
east to the west , and that new capital
will seek hare the favorable opportuni
ties for investment. These are reasona
ble expectations sure to bo realized.
With all the conditions now favorable
to progress Nebraska must advance.
The only danger that threatened her
growth and prosperity having boon
averted , &ho must move forward with I
the expansion of the enterprises 'of hoi-
own people and the additions to her
economic forces certain to bo made.
So far as Omaha Is concerned , the
prospects were noyor moro favorable. In
every department of business the coming
year will witnofraau extension , and the
promise for building enterprises assures
tin extensive oiHplpymont'of labor and a
'
largo distrlbulion'bf money. It is safe
to anticipate 'increase of population
during the next twelve months equal to
the highest of any preceding year , and
a measure of gonbl-al prosperity unsur
passed in tlio history of the city. The
superior advantages of Omaha ever most
other western citlfes are well understood ,
and capitalists ajo ; , ready lo embark in
many ontorpiisasinthat promleo them
remunerative rotVffns. "Wo feel safe in
predicting that -tho coming year will
provo the most prosperous of any Omaha
has over experienced.

No writer among tlio younger school of
American novelists ehltics with a clearer
light from the literary sky than Mnrlon
Crawford , Ho Is n well cstabthhcd author ,
with n constituency that Is world-wide.
Howolls 1 ! niul Jntncs ulono of hU class rival
him ! lu popularity , mid neither IKMSCSSCS
the | J hold upon the affections of hU readers
that Crawford enjoys. How permanent his
work limy bo remains to bo seen , but it Is
remarkably ovcii In Its quality nnd never
loses Its power of cnctinlnlng the render from
the llrst II.IRO to-the last niul hurrying h tin
0v ] to the conclusion , livery story th.it ho
writes , every character ho dr.uv.t , has
a human Interest that tbo reader catches
anil f i feels llko nn electric currant. This
bus been tmo of nil his books , from "Dr.
Isaacs , " the llrst , to "A Clgarctte-JiiaUer's
Honinncc , " the lutesC.
The latter i ? a simple tnlo , covering thirty-
six ! hour's In the lifo of uHussIuii count , who
had gene disinherited from the home of his
father tn itiuku n livelihood lu the shop of a
Munich tobacconist , The absorbing interest
JU tlio story centers about u peculiar form of
insanity which the extraordinary change In
his social status hail wrought in the count's
mind. Kvory Tuesday night the i > oor gentle
man loft his bench in the cigarette shop with
the oxpectatlou that on the morrow ho
would bo waited upon by great dignitaries to
cseort him back tohls ancestral oatiito. Kvory
Wednesday morning fouiul him waiting In
his well-brushed und wcll-wor.t Sunday best ,
ut his mlser.iblo lodgings , for the good news
that never catno. Ou Thursd.iy ho returned
quietly nnd without recollection of disap
pointment to the little bench In the
shop. The workings of this remarkable
mania are depicted with un nrt that shows
Crawford nt his best. It dmvns slowly upou
the leader as the story Is unfolded , The
count's ' character , aside from this feature , Is
ono of singular nobility. AH the Iminblo per
sonages in the story stand out in the writer's
description as clearly its ilgurcs on the stugo.
Tlio events that le.ul rapidly up to a ple.isant
conclusion , and work n strange but sclcatlllc
tr.msforinatlon In the count's mind , are de
scribed with u skill that holds the reader's
interest us In u vice and exhibits tuu novel
ist's ' power very strikingly. His humor nnd
faculty of expounding the philosophy of life
through u Merles of upt minllcs is nowhere
better Illustrated than in Ibis simple but ab
sorbing tulo of n day and u- half In
the history of n noble outcast. Ma
rlon Cruwford Is ono of the most
satisfactory literary products of this genera
tion. [ Mncmillnn .t Co. , New York , $1.60.1
There appears to bo a considerable revival
of what may bo culled the literature of labor.
It covers u wide range , from ponderous
essays to light fiction , but all of It has the
serious aim of tillering or overturning social
conditions In the Interest of better opportuni
ties for the musses. There is evidence Hint
this output Is widely read. It takes promi
nent places lu magazines tbnt have the repu
tation of furnishing what the public wants ,
nnd it comes in paper covers freely from the
press of publishers who cater exclusively to
u trade that buys ohcup books In largo ( man-
titles , diaries II. Sergei & Co. , Chicago ,
publish n nice paper edition of "Toil , " a
bundle of essays by Tolstoi nnd LondarefT ,
which have niuilo their way into the English
language alter passing through Hussian niul
French. There l.uvo been no jirofoumlcr HO-
cial philosophers in rccont times than Tolstoi
and his ilcseiples. Their plea for universal
labor is only iv new wny of asserting that all
insti shall share ullko In the work and re
wards of lifo. Instead of demanding that
the rich shall share their possessions with
the poor , they demand thni the poor shall
share their labor with the rich. lint , they
iiini ut the same result the common equality
of mankind. "The Struggle for Broud , " is
another example. It is written bj'
Leigh H. Irvine and published by John B.
Alden , New York , in cloth at r > 0 cents and
paper lit 25 cents. Xuo views expressed iu
this work nro conservative , iu spite of the
nggrcsslvo title nnd chapter heads. Political
developments both nt homo nnd abroad suow
that social reform Is Homcthlng moro thuu
the dream of philosophers. A notable contri
bution on this point is Washington Glad-
den's article , "Tlio Kuibattlcd Farmers , " in
the November Forum.
Eugene Field makes a modest bid for fame
with two books that nro dainty both inside
and out , as their titles denote : "A Little
Book of Western Verse , " and "A Little
Book of Prolltablo Talcs. " Both tuo
poetry nnd the prose nro charming nnd
wonderfully fresh in style. They
will bo read with pleasuio by everybody who
makes tnclr acquaintance. Mr. Field has
dona a grant deal of similar work , hut It is .
doubtful if anyone appreciated how really
good unit bright it was uutll it got between
these covers of robln's-cgg blue and in theiu
sumptuous uncut pages , with gilded tops.
The Hood of novels lu paper covers good ,
bad und indifferent by authors ranging all
the way from obscurity to fame , continues to
como unuhiitud from the press. The public
appetite for this class of Ilteratnroinust bo
enormous. Very little of it is H orth noting.
Most of it is ephemeral , nnd if the railroads
should suddenly slop running much less of it
would bo read.

III.UR 8ATUIIIIAY IS LINCOLN.
It has been n drunry day In Lincoln , not
only for tbo politicians but also for the ro-
nialnder of humanity. The snow of last nlcht
lias been supplemented witli a drizzling sleety
rain today that tilled the streets anil side

most Impossible. Kvon politics could not du-
lay the nvcrago citizen from his warm lire-
side. The deinocratiehcad < i'.Kirtcrs are quiet ,
the republican headquarter : ) are locked up
and Walt Sceloy gene , while the erstwhile
dcnso crowd at the alliance headquarters has
thinned out to about a dozen souls.
The telephone wires nro loaded with
sleet nnd many of them , succumb
ing beneath the weight of congealed
ram , -hnvo broken , causing almost Irillnlto
confusion by falling across other wires. Con
nection between Omnhu and Nebraska City
is broken aud it is feared that the wires load
ing to other towns and cities will also give
way. Disastrous results arc feared when the
elcctrlo light company commences opera
tions for the evening and the powerful
charge from the olcc-trlo light wires
is communicated to tbo telephone wires that
have fnlleii across them.
The cars on the street railway hnvo boon
running regularly despite nil oxidations to
the contrary. Both roils nnd trolly wire
are coated with ice , but nevertheless they
have performed their functions the same us

great crowd that gathered in the Capital
hotel no declared that the alliance should and
would throw out oil the votes from Douglas

clurcd that there was fraud apparent In
the Douglas county returns and he denounced
Omaha until he finely grow black In the fneo.
