It is stated that that eminent re

paid for thu present legislature in order
to secure his own re-election. The
goods were delivered to him several

pated that the present body would bo
called upon to fill any more orders of
that kind. The death "of Senator Hearst ,

To his surprise the thrifty legislators

ICustorn papers report 11 strong diver
sion of capital from that section to the
south. A Uontoii paper says that the
eye of Now England is upon the south
just as a score of yearn ago it was fixed
upon the west , and that there is an un
usual Interofet felt in southern develop
ment , It states that eastern money is
beim : sent into the south in the belief
that it will bring a profitable return.
Those who are doing tills are among the
shrewdest business men and financiers ,
who seldom go into undertakings of
such magnitude as many of the southern
enterprises are without first consulting
all the oracles of their judgment and ex
perience , Many of them have reached
the conclusion from personal observa
tion , as voiced by the llobton paper , that
the hope of the country in competing
with the products of ether lands nnd its
prosperity in coining years lies tea great
extent in the now latent resources of the
south and their intelligent development.
The suggestion of all this Is that the
south has become a formidable rival of
the west in attracting capital seeking

A mass meeting of uiti/.ens has been
called at tlm real oblate exchange Satur
day evening for the purpose of devising
ways and means of advancing the
matetltd interests of the city.
The necessity of concerted action on
tlio part of the leading clti/.ens was
nevermore apparent than at the pres
ent moment. The city is practically
without a live organi/.ation to protect
or encourage its commercial and Indus
trial interests. The board of tradu is
neither u.-cful nor ornamental , and tlia
real estate exchans'O shows symptoms of
internal dry rot. One need not go far
to discover the cause. The worlc of
both organisations has fallen on the
shoulders of a few men , and despite
their/.oal and perseverance , tlio.v have
not secured thp active , united support
their efforts deserved.
It is an unfortunate fact that the lead
ing representatives of tlio city's mercan
tile interests , the jobbers , hankers and
factory men , turn a cold shoulder on or
ganizations essential to tlioir prosperity.
True , many of them become members or
subscribers to the expense fund. Kxpo-
rioiu'o shows that membership or cash
contriuutioii are of no consequence un-
IOBS they are supplemented with por-
ionalactivity and energetic participa
tion in all plans calculated to improve
thu common weal. Ouruoalthy clli/.ens
are prone to imlilTcronce. Having ac
quired fortunes from the city s develop-
moiilin the past , they ignore the future ,
despite the fact that every addition to
tlio city's commercial and industrial
aggregate increases the value of their
holdings.
Omaha cannot afford to rest content
with the laurels of the past. On all sides ,
tlio city is brought into competition
with aggressive rivals , whoso zeal is
whetted by a desire to surpass , The
achievements of the past decade are use
ful as an example of what enterprise can
accomplish. The fruits of the present
decade will bo in proportion to energy
and united activity displayed by busi
ness mun.
The season is propitious for a reawak

Of proposed legislation whieh partic
ularly concerns the inlorusls of the
farmers of Nebraska , none is more im
portant than that providing-for the erec
tion of public warehouses , livery grain

the disadvantages are under tlio present
conditions , Ho is completely at the
mercy of the private elevator interest ,
and ho.-mlcs being plundered at homo ho

Into control of thu elevator owners/ '
which are cither the railroad companies
or persons in league with them , nml
when his grain roaches llio outside
market lie suiters from an inspection
classification that reduces its vakio.y
Doing uuder no restraint and subject tone
no legal requirements , the elevator in
terest arbitrarily fixes the rates for
handling nnd storage , and it need hardly
be said that no Jiunlness In the state pays
a larger return on the capital invested.
Furthermore , discrimination is common
nnd the producers who are injured
thereby have no remedy , liyroisonof
this condition of affairs the farmers of
Nebraska annually lose millions of
lars.
lars.A
A law Is urgently demanded making
all elevators public warehouses , prohib
iting any discrimination on the part of
elevator owners in handling and storing
grain , requiring railroad companies to
extend criual facilities to all portions
offering grain for shipment , providing
for the regulation of storage charges by
the state , and establishing- system of
inspection under state control. These
things are provided for in the bills that
have been Introduced in the legislature ,
nnd It will Iw a very gnivo omission If
the logiblnlurofaihto enact one of those.

oflhc producer and the shlpperof grain ,
and is no less important tlmn llio estab
lishment of public warehouses , in con-
nt'Ctlou witli which it would bo an essen
tial provision.
The proposed legislation IB demanded
in llio Interest of , and as anmltor of jus
tice to every fanner in Nebraska who
grows grain for the market , and t ho rep
resentatives' of the producing Interest ,
who should best know thoilisadvuiUnges

their cmihtituotiU if Ihcy fail to provide
for public warehouses as contemplated
bv the bills now before the legislature.
No sTATl ! in the west bus shown
greater liberality than Nebraska in I ho
establishment of charitable and educa
tional state institutions. During the
last live yo.u-s no lo.ss than live huvo
been added to the number , The outlay
wis largely justified by the enormous
growth in population , The Hood tide ot
immigration which almost trebled the
population in 10 years has reached the
ebb. A similar Inllux cannot bj expect
ed in the future , ItUoxlmvaguntfolly ,
therefore , to increase public burdens by
creatiiisr new Institutions for which
tliero is no pressingdemand. . The pa--s-
ago of u bill establishing a futimlo ro-
tormatory nl ( JonoVit is followed by a
demand for costly extensions lo the in
dustrial school at Kearney. Where is
the noco-isitv for both ? The ( ijtiev.i in
stitution will reduce llio number of incorrigible -
corrigible at Kearney. ' l ut it sojttu
the more tlio state appropriates the
greater becomes the donututs for exten
sions. TlioLouiivillopJiiiloutiary annex
scheme is another unwarranted raid on
the public treasury. On tlio same cate
gory may bo placed bills for now nor
mal schools , In the f.iuo . of tlio fact that
the school at I'eru has not yet been
taxed to its full.cajiacity. The present
legislature was rh-jsoa on pluJgus of re
form and retrenchment. The laxiuyors
uwiiitwlth no little anxiety the fidlill-
niont of these pledges and the rejection
ot every measure increasing burdensome -
some and needless state institutions.
Tinaction : oftho legislative committee - *
tee in striking out vital amendments to
the Omaha charter brings into prom
inence the injustice of the present
Miurco of municipal power. Measures
essential to the growth and prosperity
of cities , the ripened fruit of experi
ence , are subject to the whims of men
inexperienced in municipal all'air.s and
without practical knowledge of what
will best subserve the inlcrcbls of cities.
Every Tom , Dick stud Harry , having1 no
interest : itstaleris ; at liberty to vent
their spite or ignorance in matters
which , in justice , they should have no
voice. There is a growing feeling
throughout the country In favor ot gen
uine iiomorulo for cities , a system of lo
cal option enabling1 them to nl turn ml
amend their charters by popular vote.
Sni-h a system lias proven remarkably
successful and beneficial in .Missouri and
Illinois.
\VllKTHr.it or not there is any truth in
the report that Austin Coi-bin contem
plates a line ot American steamships ,
the bare biiggestion of tuch a thing is
refreshing , It would bo decidedly ele
vating to the humiliated national pride
ifsomo enterprising citi/.eti would find
means to Heat the American Hag over
