AMONG the citizens of Douglas county there will bo a universal feeling of sym pathy with County Commissioner Thnnio in his sudden iUlllotion , and a general hope that the slight stroke of paralysis which overcame him yesterday will not permanently dlsablo him.

A revolt of heads of bureaus all along the line ngnlnst their reduction to the rank ot chief of divisions is entirely probable end excusable. A HANQUKT and reception was tender ed Chief .1 ustico Fuller nt Tneoma Friday night. It is observed no presidential boom was inaugurated. The chief jus- lice has probably noticed that presiden tial booms Htartod on the coast spend themselves long before they roach the white house and has profited by the ex perience of General Miles , J ustico Flold and Senator Stanford. Perhaps Grant's third term canvass might have boon luccossful if it had begun in Now York Instead of San Francisco. HUOKKN 13ow is n far west city In Nebraska , in the very heart of the BOO tiou which BiitTorod most keenly from lust year's drouth. It is therefore most gratifying to road in n dispatch from tbo motroplois of Custor county that her t dealers have sold this year 113 self-bind ort , three headers , seven threshers and 68,000 pounds of binding twine. These it figures tire easily explained by the In formation that the acreage Is the larg est over known and thut wheat yields 27 and oats 70 bushels per aero. is AII , main , The evidence presented In TUB BKB of two weeks niro of- the nmtcr.lal pros perity of Nebraska , lias attracted wide attention , nnd it has served the excellent purpose of correcting the unfavorable Impressions which had boon formed re garding the condition of the state from the misrepresentations of persons Interested - estod , for ono reason or another , In de faming Nebraska. The showing of bank deposits exceeding fifty millions of dollars lars conclusively proved that there was no such general Impoverishment in the stale as the alarmists had persis tently proclaimed. A people having at command capital amounting to $17 per capita , witli all other conditions favor able to prosperity and progress , are very far from beggary or ruin. A small portion tion of them , as was tlio case with thono in the drouth-stricken region last year , may o.xpcrlenco some distress demand ing relief at the hands ot tbolr follow- cltr/ons , and others who failed to ro- colvo a paying price for tholr product * , find dilliculty in meeting their obligations , but tholr condi tions are casual and have boon greatly oxaggoratod. The ci oak- ors and agitators had tholr opportunity last year and made the most of it , un questionably to the immediate injury of the state , but the indisputable figures which show that the aggrcgato pros perity of the people of Nebraska will compare favorably with the prosper ity of the people of most ether states , completely disposed of the misrepresentations of these men. That there has boon business depression during the last two yours will not bo de nied , but it htis boon general and no moro severe in Nebraska than elsewhere. In deed it is doubtless a fact that this state has sull'orcd less from it than a majority of the states , and certainly not moro than any of the distinctively agricul tural states. The promise of the immediate future is n higher measure of prosperity than Nebraska has ever known. Conserva tive estimates place the value of the crops this year at not less than 8100- 000,000. Add to this the value of tlio hogs and cattle , the dairy products , and ether sources of revenue to the producers , and tlio sum total will reach figures greater than have over boon realized in any single year in the history of the state. Tf the indications are trustworthy the farmers will got bettor prices for their grain than they have received for sev eral years , and will thus be better pre pared than for a long time to take care of their obligations , it is unnecessary to indicate the benefits that will result to ail interests , and the vitalizing effect upon business which the improved con ditions will havo. A revival in all departments of enterprise would seem to bo inevitable. It will not como in the nature of a boom , nor is li , desirable that it should , but will have a steady , legitimate and healthy growth. The next your ought to witness , and doubtless will , a consid erable addition to the population of Ne braska and a largo Inflow of capital seeking investment. No western state offers moro inviting or favorable oppor tunities. Nowhere is there greater cer tainty of good crops to reward the indus try of Iho farmer , and the country of which the chief city of Nebraska is the metropolis possesses boundless possibil ities. ities.As As Till' ; HUE has conclusively shown , Nebraska is all right. Tilt ; In tlio acrimonious personal contro versy between the commissioner of In dian affairs and the officials of the C ith- olic bureau of Indian missions at Wash ington , THE BEE takes no interest. So far as the country tit largo is concerned it is a matter of no consequence whether the commissioner contracts with the Catholic bureau or with the teachers ot the church schools. Naturally enough the "Voador wonders why a bureau of Catholic Indian missions should bo maintained In Washington a thousand miles from tlio nearest Indian tribe. He apprehends , however , the institution Is them for the purpose of securing gov ernment aid for its mlnsions among tlio Indians from congress and the Indian department , and that so far this hu > been legitimate. lie does not care to go into the subject farther in connection with tills particular bureau or lo inquire why there should not also bo a Protest ant bureau of Indian missions. The great fact that tills government is annually donating over half a million dollars lo the several religious denomin ation for sectarians purposes is the ono in which every American is interested. Whether Commissioner Morgan dis criminates in favor of Protostanism or Catholicism in tlio distribution of this monny is of loss importance than the knowledge that the United States gov ernment is violating the principles of the constitution In aw ardlng public funds toolthor Protestnnts or Catholicsor both. The government should en courage missionary endeavor among the savages as a part of the effort for their civilization , but it should not pay ono dollar toward tholr conversion tti any re ligious dogma , Protestant or Catholic. The ovtingolr/atlon of this race is the business of the churches and they should pay the cost of it. The government should dovotu the money appropriated for the oiviliztition of Indians to their material and educational , not their religious ligious advancement. The national government has no more right to toaoh nn Indian that ho must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ or bo damned than it has to huddle the chil dren of the Hebrews who live in Ameri ca into Christian churches and seek to make them abandon Judaism , while in structing thorn in reading , writing and arithtmutlc. The government must at tend to Its logiUmato business and relig ious instruction is entirely out ot its line The appropriations for Indian educa tion have increased from $20,000 in 1877 to $1,812,770 In the fiscal year 1801. During this period , the Indian depart ment in its anxiety to Imurovo the con dition of the wards of the government , has encouraged the religious denomina tions to co-oporato In tholr education. A system ot contract schools has growp up anil unquestionably has accomplished much good among tbo Indians. The government probably bad uo suspicion that it would see the day when It should regret its liberality to the warring cccts of Christianity or that the amounts demanded would roach such enormous proportions in eo brief a jieriod. Tlio following tnblo shows the growth of tbo appropriations for instruction in contract ilonomintv tlonal. schools nnd the distribution of the annual appropriations among noveral of the sects engaged in aggressive mis sionary work among the savages : 83 , ; , * : . .as : : ar - 3 i = : : a'f.'s - : : -iS As might readily bo supposed the inutiilicont sums offered by the govern ment were sought after by till the re ligious denominations who are doing extensive missionary work among tlio Indians except the Baptists. They huvo a largo number of missions , but have steadfastly declined government aid on the principle that the govern ment has no constitutional right to ex pend money for religious purposes. As mi ht also have been antici pated the distribution of these funds lias aroused bitter antagonisms and these antagonisms are responsible for the present controversy over the whole question. When creeds collide and churches become involved in con tests for cash or converts , the uvarico of humanity , the ambition for power , and the hatred of fanaticism are all likely to manifest themselves. The fact that some denominations received largo and others small sums awakened jealousies and brought upon congress a Hood of discussion of the merits of religious or ganizations which in this country was never before experienced. The Protestants were dissatisfied be cause the Catholics were educating the larger numbert > f Indian children and receiving the greater part of the con tract school fund from the gov ernment , The Catholics , on the other hand , were keenly alive to any sugges tion of danger either in congress , the Indian olllco or the field , to-tlio system they had organised and the government was helping them to maintain. The secular world looked on with disgust and marveled at the feeling which Christians exhibited over the subject and decided that the circumstances were a conclusive proof and striking il lustration of the evils of uniting church and state oven in so small a degree. The newspapers of the country partici pated in the interest which the sects had aroused , and Indian education be came a topic of ovary day discussion throughout the union. The sects were temporarily successful at least , and congress put a rider into the Indian ap propriation bill directing the interior department to expend no loss than $ o.tr > ,000 of this year's appropriation in the support of the contract or'sectarian schools. The community generally does not ap prove of this olliuial endorsement of the system. The religious denominations which are not participating in its benefits are publicly denouncing congress for its action. The secular press of America is almost a unit upon the proposition that not a dollar of public money shall ho donated to any religious organization for sectarian instruction. Congress and the government must sooner or later , and the sooner the hotter , fall hack upon the time honored doctrine of absolute independence of church and state. TIIK MALKS t'Ahhlfill Statistics ! show that the male-popula tion of the civilr/od world is falling far ther and farther behind the female. According to the last British census the excess of woman and girls over men and boys in Great Britain is about ! )00,000 ) , an increase in 10 years of nearly 200,000. The Gorman census of last December places the number of females about OCO.OOO above that of the males In the kingdom of Prussia , or nearly throe times the excess twenty years ago. There are 1,000,000 more females than males in the whole Gorman empire. In Sweden and Norway the "weaker sex" are in the ma jority by 250,000 , in Austria-Hungary by 000,000 , in Denmark by 00,000 , and in every European country they outnumber the males. In the United States , Can ada and Australia the males are in the majority , though not largely so , the es timated excess of males In thin country being only 1,100,000 or 1,200.000. It is plain that but for Immigration , which furnishes a much greater number of men than women , the latter would soon bo In the majority hero. There is n , largo preponderance now of females in Now England and in some other sections of the United States , and If immigration were to materially do orcase undoubtedly the surplus of males would soon disappear In the whole coun try. In loss civilized countries , where women are lightly esteemed , it is otherwise - . wise , India having about six million more men than woman , while the males largely preponderate In China. The obvious deduction is that the higher civ ilization is most favorable to the increase of the fonmlo sex , and this suggests the Interesting question whether civilization Is doing the best thing for the world in producing this result. A fact of hardly loss Interest brought out by the British census is the markad decline In the mar- rlagu rate , which has boon almost stead ily lending downward for nearly two decades. MotmUmo there has boon an own moro doeniod decline in the birth rate , so that not only is marriage de creasing , but inrfirlngo ! ) are becoming li > ss prolific on the average. There Is the same tomliiuy In this country , pre vailing chlt'llyrnong the better classes. An excess of fonillos in n country Is cer tain to luivo tin imfavorablo Inlluenco on the marriage rntq , and the moral consequences quences of such a stale of tilTalrs can easily bo ooncctvcil. 7'1/B ISSUN IS UK An. Hon. John C. Watson finds upon fur ther inquiry and conference with loading .lawyers In the state the opinion very generally prevailing that a governor cannot legally bo elected in November of this year. Judge Samuel M. Chap man very clearly suggests In a letter to Mr. Watson that the safer course Is to abandon the idea of including the ofllce of governor in the call for the state con vention , and others agree upon the gen eral proposition. It may therefore bo announced that the project Is dead. This is right. The republican party cannot atTord to give assent to a prop o- sltion which js clearly without warra nt of law. It will not permit itself to l > o drawn into the error of holding a fruit less election and involving the state In further legal entanglements over the ofllco of chief executive. Ills perhaps unfortunate in view of the complica tions developed since last oleetioji that there is no constitutional method for correcting an error which makes it pos sible for a man who was not a candidate before the people at the election to bo legally entitled to the ollico. Neverthe less this is the situation in which our organic law places the state , and it is clearly the intent of the constitution that no vacancy shall occur in the olllco of governor through any technical over sight on the part of the peoplo. To pre vent such a mishap it is provided that the governor shall hold ollico for two years or until his successor is elected and qualified. Some republicans hollovo that the re publicans should nominate a candidate for governor because the loaders of the independent party assort it to bo their intention to place a name before the people. Should they bo so foolish , their candidate will have the empty distinc tion of the nomination only. The repub licans cannot alTord to ignore the ac cepted interpretation of the law merely to checkmate thrt opposition. It would bo an antrmation on the part of repub licans that Governor Boyd is an alien and that GovernorThayor is not entitled to the olllco. It would bo anticipating the decision of'.tho supreme court of the United States , which would bo Indelicate and ridiculous , The accident will prob ably never again pccur , and if it should' a precedent has already boon established which would have the effect of settling a similar controversy without delay. The issue is deitd. It need not bo dis cussed further. I'llOFITS Or K'niKKT HAIWATS. The city of Tordh'to , Canada , owns and operates its system of street car transportation. Private corporations have been invited to make propositions for the leasing of the lines for a period of thirty years on an agreed tasis of $800 per annum per milo rental , a percentage of the gross receipts and the payment of $1-100,000 for the road in addition to assuming a mortgage indebtedness of $000,000. The proposition also involves a change to an electric system. The most advantageous of three prop ositions now being considered is that known as the Kioly-Evorott tender. The Toronto J/aiJ reduces the proposition to figures and makes up a table computed upon a track-ago of 80 miles for the first 21 years and 100 miles for the last nine years. The company is to invest $2,000- 000 the first throe years , $ . ' ( ,000,000 dur ing the next 18 years and $ .1fiOO,000 during the last nine years , or $8,500,000 during the term of the lease. It is cal culated that 75 per cent of the receipts will bo used as operating expenses dur ing the first two years , 70 per cent during - ing the third , 05 per cent during the fourth and 55 per emit during the re maining years. According to the calculations of the .Mail the estimated receipts will bo$750- COO per annum the first three years and will steadily increase until they reach $2,750,000 the thirtieth year , the total receipts for the thirty years amounting to the enormous aggregate of10,500. . - 000. The city will receive as rental and from its percentage upon the gross re ceipts of the company $121,000 annually the first three years and $ .182,500 the thirtieth year , or $0,7111,100 for the entire term. The total surplus of earnings exclusive of operating expenses , cost of management , interest on investment and possible loss by con version of the system of olootricityreal- i/.od by the company under the proposed lease is $10,071,500. Toronto has an estimated population of 180,000. It Would add to the value of the estimate gl'vgp above to bo informed upon what basis the growth of the city Is calculated. ' ' " 'This is not at hand. Nevertheless tiq } , figures reveal in a most graphic manner the enormous val ues of exclusive1 franchises to street rail way corporations' , , It is probably safe to assort that in 'growing cities of equal population in vth'o United States the franchises are fully as valuable as in Toronto. Tlici-rihowing contains In Itself a startling coinjn'ii ntary upon the gener osity of wostorn.flittos in voting street car franchises'Without ' reserving either the right of rojpj lon , rental or a percentage - contago of the receipts.

Tin- ; board of public land * and build ings Is a very patient public body , othin- wise it would not have permitted the Hastings asylum Investigation to drag Its slow length along through so many weeks of midsummer. The people are growing quite weary of Its ronmrkablo delay. They have read the tostlmony brought out at the meetings held to ex amine into the affairs of the institution. They expected a prompt finding and a positive recommendation to the gover nor in the promises. They have no dis position to wait the tedious pleasure of nn expert accountant during an indefi nite interval while the present olllcors continue in charge of the asylum. They do not hold the board entirely blameless in connection with the irregularities complained of , but are of the opinion that there was carelessness In Lincoln ns well nninolnVIoncy and corruption at Hastings. The board owes it to itself as well as the people to report its find ings andmnko its recommendations to the governor without further dolay.
