In the procession of the atntos of the
Amoricnn union along the lines of mi- :
torlal nrojrros'j ' , the march of Nebraska
has boon notfiblo. Tun linn presents
In this issue carefully collected ami
trustworthy statistics showing1 the
progress of this state In population and
wealth , and it is nn exhibit in which
every citizen of Nebraska will find cause
for prldo and confidence. In illustrating
what has boon accomplished it polnti
out , also , what is still possible of
achievement before the resources
of this great state shall have
reached the limit of development.
A study of thosu statistics , which
show an aggregate prosperity that will
compare favorably with that of most ol
the states , and are a conclusive answer
to those who have persistently assorted
that our people are not prosperous , will
satisfy all intelligent man that It was
not a moro flguro of speech which Pros-
dent Harrison employed when in Omaha
in referring to the vast capabilities of
Nebraska , There has boon extraordin
ary development in the last twenty
years , but there is every reason for the
confident belief that in the ensuing
equal period this state will realize a
greater growth and attain the first place
among the agricultural states of the
nation. Ten years ago there were
but eight states of the 33 with a smaller
population than Nebraska. Now 18 of
the 44 states have a loss number of in
habitants than Nebraska. The growth
of population during the decade
from 1880 to 1890 was relatively greater
than that of any other stale in the
union , except the now states while in
actual numbers It was exceeded by
only four other states Now
York , Pennsylvania , Illinois and Texas.
If the sumo rate of progress shall bo
maintained during the next 10years the
population of Nebraska in 1000 will exceed
two millions , and there Is every reason
to expect that it will roacli that
fiiruro by the close of the
contury. Equally noteworthy has
been the Increase in the assessed val
uation ol Uio state , ana it U to bo re
marked of this that it would bo much
larger if the ratio in most ether states
were adopted hero. The statistics of
bank deposits make a most gratifying
exhibit , showing as they do a per capita
of homo capital exceptional / a purely
agricultural state. The figures showing
the increase in grain production , in
stock raising , and in other industries ,
are most interesting and instructive.
Nebraska still has an unimproved area
as largo us the entire area of the two
states of Maryland and Massa
chusetts , greater than that of the
two states of Now Hampshire and Now
Jersey , and the larger part of it can and
will bo made available for agriculture.
When this Is done Nebraska will have
added to her productive capacity a ro-
'gion half as largo ns the state of Ohio ,
and capable of supporting a population
as largo as that of the state at present.
From such facts the citizens of Ne
braska may derive tho' largest moosuro
of satisfaction , encouragement and con
fidence. They show an aggregate pros
perity which , it is believed , is exceeded
by few of the states , and they carry In
spiriting promise of continued progress.
The "vast capabilities" of Nebraska are
still far from the limit of possible
development. There is hero a territory
that will sustain well three mil
lions of people , with a soil
and climate adapted to the most
diversified productions of which
any portion of this country is capable.
There is grown in this state the finest
corn produced anywhere in the world ,
and nil ether errains flourish horo.
Nebraska has the best soil for the sugar
bcbt on this continent. In short , there
are hero all the conditions to attract the
farmer and assure him a profitable re
turn for his industry. Nebraska has
had a great past and will have a greater
future.
UMAIIA AND TUR
Citizen Train Is nothing if not original.
No ether friend of Omaha has thought
it worth while to unite in thought the
marvels of all the centuries , the pyra
mids of Egypt with the marvel of the
pastquiirtor of a century , Omaha. There
fore it remained for this eccentric genius
with the most consummate method in his
alleged madness to place upon the top
of the great tombs of the ancient Egyp
tian kings the record of nn epoch 4,000
years later than the inscriptions upon
Lhoir sarcophagi.
There is nothing ridiculous about this
conceit of Train. The foot that it is a
daring pleco of advertising makes it
striking but not absurd. The great
pyramid is 450 foot high. It covers 13
acres at its base. It required 100,000
men 20 years to erect it. It is the most
ancient monument to man's genius ox-
; ant. The secrets of Its masonry and of
.ts architecture have baffled the keenest
.ntollects and the most industrious in
vestigations since history began to take
note of its existence. Astronomy and
nnthumatlcs , chemistry and physics ,
philosophy and religion have combined
, o establish the date of its construction
and the component parts of its comont-
ng material hut all have failed. Wo
guesu at its ago , the purpose of its con
struction and the manner of hoisting its
mmonso stones and placing thorn in po
sition. Wo know almost nothing bo-
, -oiitl the fact of its oxistotico and its
mmonsity.
When the visitor now roaohos its
summit and drops into meditative spoc-
ilatlon as to whether Molohlsedok or
rtykorluos is Its architect ho will turner
or relief to a pamphlet on Omaha. On
top of this wonder of forty centuries ho
vill turn to road that In 18SO Omaha
md 80,000 people and in 1890 140,000.
Ho will road that in 1855 the whole ter
ritory of Nebraska had but 4,000 people
and then will observe that she now has
1,058,000. Ho will see in the
irintod pagoa before him evi
dences of the birth and growth
of a monument to man's enterprise
ar more useful and fully us remarkable
built within 25 years. It will bo a
ollof to lift the eyes from the sphinx ,
rom the desert , from the low-browed
ledouln , from ancient Egypt and oven
Cairo and the valley of the Nile and
cast them half around the glebe to a
modern city In the midst of modern
civilization and sot upon the verdant
illls of the most fertile state In the
union. Then ho will thank George
Francis Train for his enterprise and include
cludo Omaha In his tout * around the
earth to satisfy himself that while the
moderns construct no useless lasting
monuments to tholr architectural and
mechanical skill they have flllod the
occldont with a glory of achievement it
mechanics , architecture , science am
commercial skill which makes this the
most remarkable epoch of history and
Immortalizes the nineteenth century.
IIA H VKST VXCUHSIOXS.
Tuesday , July 14 , the Trans-Missouri
Railway Tralllc association convenes at
Kansas City. At that time final action
will bo taken upon the subject of har
vest excursions.
Tin : BUB In common with the press of
the state regards this subject as ono of
very great Importance.
Nebraska's reputation has boon at
tacked by demagogues and her charac
ter as an agricultural state hag boon Im
peached. Eastern people are laboring
under very grave misapprehensions of
the conditions prevailing , horo. The
failuras of crops for a year or two have
discouraged immigration , weakened the
faith of investors and caused the aban
donment of some farms not yet under
cultivation.
Nebraska never looked moro attrac
tive than at present. Her people were
never moro hopeful for the future. No
man who has lived in thtg state- , for ton
years has over doubted kho proposition
that Nebraska is the most fertile
agricultural section of America or had
any fears for her future. It is only
the casual visitor or the uninformed
eastern man who has lost faith in her
worth as a grain growing common
wealth.
Wo want people who are . looking to
the west for homos and Investments to
see the state as she is In all her beauty.
Wo want the ovll Impressions of a bad
crop year removed. Wo want our friends
to join us in a harvest jubilee.
Wo cannot expect to have them visit the
state in numbers unless the rates are
made an inducement to come.
The railways have ns much at stake as
the people of the state. They cannot
afford to discourage the excursions.
They should unite upon the old harvest
rates , or bettor ones , and so put all
eastern passenger agents in the
field to advertise Nebraska. THE
BEK hoped General Passenger Agents
Francis , Lomax and Buchanan will
make a strong presentation of the im
portance of the harvest excursion and
convince the association of its necessity.
OUTLOOK FOti TIIK WEST.
The region west of the Mississippi has
not for many years had so favorable an
outlook for prosperity and progress as it
now has. In portions of It the conditions
in recent years have boon quite as satis
factory as at present , but considering it
as a whole , if the promise of this year is
verified the results will probably exceed
in value those of any previous year in our
history. There have boon some extreme
estimates of the probable amount of the
crops which a raorO careful and in
telligent investigation of the situa
tion has made it necessary . to
modify , but the most conservative esti
mates place the yield considerably above
the average , and there is hardly a pos
sibility that these will not bo berne out
by results. The west will have a largo
surplus of grain , and there will bo a de
mand for ' , it at good prices. It is now
assorted that Europe will have the
shortest crop in a number of years. Her
probable deficiency is estimated at 175- ,
300,000 bushels , and it is more likely to
exceed than to fall below that amount.
She must look to the United States to
supply the greater part of tins , and
no tariffs that European countries may
adopt will keep Amorica'n breadstuffs -
stuffs out of their markets. This situa
tion moans well maintained and 'profit
able urices for our grain. .Tho Ameri
can producer is to bo paid thtsiyear. , and
next a fair compensation for his industry ,
and something moro. lie is to bo per
mitted to experience ivhat ho has , , not
Known for several years , an appreciable
Improvement in his'financial affairs. Ho
will have money to pay his way and to
moot maturing obligations. If ho bo
'ortunuto ' in not being victimized by
speculators on the ono hand or
U-advlsod schemes in restraint
of trade on the ether , ho
will count this year as one
of exceptional benefits , memorable , perhaps -
haps , ns the beginning of a prolonged
era of steadily increasing prosperity for
agriculture.
It is conceivable that the time will
come , and it may not bo very remote ,
when the west will change from the
debtor to the creditor section of this
country. A few years of good crops at
n-ollUiblo prices would bring this about.
3ut it is parhapa sulllciont- confine
consideration to the immediate' outlook
md this is of the most cheering and
gratifying character.
DEPOSITS $ t7 I'Klt
The total sum of money .on deposit in
, ho banks of Nebraska exceeds $50-
500,000. It is in excess of 517 per capita.
L'ho per capita of the total circulating
nodlum , gold , silver and bank treasury
lotes In the United Slates , is loss
than $24. in other words the people
of Nebraska have twice ns much money
n bank subject to check per capita as
the people of the entire union have
nonoy for the transaction of business.
This is a most significant fact , and
speaks volumes for the resources of the
Btato and the character of the people.
Die bulk of the population of Nebraska
a engaged In agricultural or kindred
pursuits. The year just passed , has been
unfavorable for crops , and in proced-
ng yonra prices of farm products have
ranged below the average. Nebraska is
a now state and her people have
> eon necessarily borrowers to a largo
extent because they were engaged in de
veloping now territory. In fucoof these
untoward circumstances the actual
iguros of savings aio phenomenal.
In vlow of the discussions ) which have
confused our well Informed people upon
ho relative financial condition of the
arming community of Nebraska and the
vest these figures are of especial Impor-
nnco , They give the Ho direct to the
nalovolont mlsatntomonts of demagogues
and provo what every thinking man in
the state has believed , namely that in
apito of rocout discounting experienced
this state is far above the nvorago in fin
ancial prosporlAr-Doposlts In the banks
represent the actual sut plus of cash.
They are not cVoarlng house credits
or hypothetical njisots. Nebraska has
but two considerable cities and no ether
great manufacturing or commercial
centers. The bank deposits nro not
therefore the toifporury receipts from
largo transaction , but the results of
years of economy and successful busi
ness energy , ffj
Nebraska has .few men of Immense
wealth. Those savings are consequently
the accumulatlbn of the many and not
of the fotv. They are merely the begin
nings of the future wealth which labor ,
soil and business skill are building up In
this commonwealth. Our savings in
those dull times , nftor years of small
profits , are remarkable. What will the
per capita of deposits in banks bo when
wo have achieved the developments of
fifty years instead of twonty-flvo ?
THKUK Is no comfort for the traducers
of Nebraska In the statistics which THK
BBB presents this morning. They bear
conclusive testimony that in the nggro-
gate the people of this Btato are enjoy
ing as largo a measure of prosperity as
these of almost any ether state In the
union. The splendid crop prospects for
this year , if realized , will materially in
crease this prosperity and put the great
majority of our producers in a position
to easily moot every obligation. The
outlook for Nebraska is altogether
cheering.
Mil , PAHNK L Is getting no mercy
from any quarter slnco the defeat of his
candidate at Carlow. Everywhere that
result appears to bo regarded as decisive
of his fate as the loader of the Irish
party , and although ho professes not to
feel disheartened it is difficult , to see
how ho can longer make a stand against
the overwhelming opposition that con
fronts him. Ho must now see that his
best course would have boon to avoic
the conflict in which both honor and the
credit for patriotism have boon sacri
ficed.
WITH an unimproved area half as
largo as the state of Ohio , Nebraska has
room for a great many moro peoplo.
These people who want to impose fur
ther restrictions upon immigration can
not hope , therefore , for any supporl
from this state. Nebraska expects to
add 1,000,000 to her population in the
next 10 years , and this cannot bo done
if the honest and industrious foreigner
is shut out of the country. All good
people will findMKWolcomo here , wher
ever they cornojrom.
THE statistics of bank deposits in
' s
Nebraska shows' very fair amount ol
homo capital. Of course there could bo
no objection to nipjo , but it is desirable
to acquire it the sain a way that
what we have has been acquired , that is ,
by honest industry and judicious thrift.
These alone mitlttj a sound and stable
financial condition. All ether ex
pedients for creating capital are
essentially dangerous , and if persisted In
must eventuate in disaster. .
TIIKRIS would bo little or no boodling
on the part of certain members of the
board of education if the reputable
members were moro attentive to busi
ness. Should an investigation bo or
dered , as it must sooner or later , some
of the worthy members will ba severely
criticised for- their indifference to the
interests of the taxpayers. It is high
time for a thorough house cleaning.

thnt Mr. Pinnoo has made every effort to

The grocery store of G. B. Britton , at 1410
O street , was closed at 4:30 : yesterday after
noon by D. E. Green , trustee of Gortio nnd
Joe Bo.vlo , under n chattel mortgage for
$1,037.50. The owner of the store is n
woman , the wife of W. U. Britton , who
has boon managing it. Mrs. Britton was a
widow before sbo married Britton , and some
of the money used in tbo business , it is said ,
belonged to tbo children , for whoso bouollt
tbo mortgage is mado. The Ashland mill
and electric lUht company began suit in
county court for $480.40 , duo for Hour fur-
nisbod , and swore out an attachment , claim
ing that Mrs. Britton was converting her
property into cash for the purpose of de
frauding her creditors. Deputy SheritT
Hoagland served the attachment this morn
ing. Tbo liabilities amount to about $3.000 ,
osldo from the mortgage , but there will bo
. llttlo loft for the creditors after the mortgage
is satlsllod. At least tbat is the outlook , as
Brlttnn bos taken possession of tbo books
and refuses to glvo the creditors nny satis
