THK councilinan-at-larjo { from the Seventh ward ia a , faithful attorney of the asphalt contractor. The butter on his bread has a tar taste and no mistaico. THK principal business of the Board of Public Works this season has boon that of preparing advertisements for work not to bo performed and publish ing the same In the official paper. THE man who croaks out that Ne braska , is not a fruit country will please take notice that Otoo county will this year ahip 130,000 barrels of apples and most of them will go to Chicago I WITHOUT regard to the particular merits or politics of the candidate named by the city clerk , it ought to be agreed on general principles that the clerk should have a deputy of his own liking or selection. COME to think about It Mr. Frank Ransom appears to bo the only party to the famous injunction suit who has es caped with n whole akin thus far. Mr. Ransom acted in good faith aa the testi mony clearly proved. TIIIUTY-PIVB counties represented in the State Business Men's enterprise of running our advertising train through the east is encouragement enough to assure - sure Its success , but at least fifty coun ties should participate. .TONKS-Hn-P.VYS-THC-FltEIOIIT is n great advertiser and this alone explains hia letter to Grovcr Cleveland demand ing that the "stuffod prophet" shall define his position upon the gubernato rial contest in Now York. The letter is Impertinent and pointless. It will bo talked about , however , and that is why it was written. Aur/ONA wants to como into the union and is holding ti constitutional conven tion with that in mind. Arizonu'0 am bition and enterprise are commendable , but she should hold on Jo her territorial habiliment * until the Moquishavo given up the sniiko dance and tlio Apaches umko life less uncertain. In other words , she should wait until her population has increased enough to make scalping and utiaka dancing lost arts in the territory. J.

THK Real Estate Owners' association is on the right track and should vigor ously push its investigations into the management of county and municipal affairs. The bellowing of a gored ox need not disturb the committee. As the authorities have not doomed , it nooos- Bury to call a grand jury , the citizens themselves must carry on the investiga tion Into the acts of puhlle oillctals. No matter who is hurt , let the good work go on. There are boodlors in public positions in Omaha and some of them are seeking preferment at the hands of voters at tlio coming election. In the Interest of good government those chemos must be exposed and tholr ambitions thwarted. Tlio committee has the best element of the community at its back and should not weary in well doing , but pursue its investigations with Increasing vigor and roloutlesa persist ence. A OHKJT KXIIinlT. No man can see the magnificent ngrl cultural exhibit at tlio stnto fair withou prldo in the state. It is not ulono taste fully arranged , and attractive hecnus it Is artistic , but it ia n con vim- Ing proof of the greatness of Nebraska Not half the counties in the stale ur represented , but wo undertake to sa ; no other building at any other state fai of the eamo proportions can compan with agricultural hall at Lincoln for tin number , nl/.o and quality of graitn , vop otabloi and grasses displayed. No stall except Nebraska could rise from failun in a single year to such signal Miperlor ity. The Nobrnskan who can doubt tin future of his stnto after seeing thesi exhibits tins pessimistic tendencies whicl will make him question the oternlty o paradise when ho begins to oxporienu its delights. A striking feature of the groatoxhlbii is the marvelous showing made by tin frontier counties. The far west doe : herself proud. The counties which las year wore sorely distressed by absolute failure and whoso citl/.ens actually stif fered for the nuociisarlcs of comfortabl < existence are on hand at the fair will .specimens of this year's crops whicl make those of some of the older count U" seem almost insignificant. The llgurei showing the yield poracro of such grant ! and roots as have boon harvested ar < almost beyond belief. They simplj prove what we are noarlv al beginning to bollovo that Nebraska is bettor than a gold mine from the Mis' souri river to the Wyoming state lino. The great western half of the state will pay fordovolopmcnt and not disappoint the sanguine pioncorswho have entered upon the task of conquering it. The exhibit at the state fair shows that the scheme proposed by the State Business Men's stHsociation for an adver tising train can bo carried out most suc cessfully. If nothing goes into the cars except selections from what Is displayed at Lincoln the traveling exhibit will talk louder for Nebraska .than period icals , orators or oven harvest excur sions. The showing at the fair and the universal surprise it occasioned among visitors is positive proof of the value ol the plan under consideration by the Business Men's association. THK MANOFACIVKKItfr OlVOItTUfflTY. Public sentiment has responded pat riotically to THK BKK'S suggestions in behalf of homo industries. Almost every man , woman and child in Omaha who can road admits the strength of the arguments advanced and already orders are going to the retail dealers to sup ply households with Omatia arti cles in preference to these from abroad. Our 108 homo manufactories have an opportunity for pushing their trade never bofo-o presented. The people are ready to use their manufac tures if they can bo informed where and how to get thorn. The call for a mooting of manufactur ers on the 21st inst. to orcrnni/.o an association is a good move in the right direction. It will enable these business men by combining their ideas ana their influence to not only incroa.se their own business but to stimulate ) retail trade allover ever the city. An increase in the ca pacity and output of the factories means inoro mon earning wages and mo-c people to purchase supplies. - In other words it moans prosperity. In the course of a few months the association could enlarge Its member ship to include Nebraska , manufacturers and its exhibit to n display of Nobrasica manufactures. Eventually and in a com paratively short time it would develop nil around. The association rooms should bo a permanent exposition of Omaha manu factures. Its secretary should bo a man who will push the enterprises ho repre sents. It would bo a place of interest to every Omahan and ono which will attract the attention of visitors into a great manufacturing exchange. The time is ripe for action and the peo- ; ilo are back of the manufacturers now. Lot no time bo lost in taking adyautago of the opportunity circumstances have presented. THK VOLUME 0 * ' ClltCUIjATIUn. The statement recently sent out by the treasury department , showing the total money circulation of the country and the amount per capita for each year since 16(10 ( , has had the effect to silence ; ho clamor of the demagogues who had aeon insisting that there was less money in the country now than in some pre vious years since the rebellion. The official figures , which it is presumed 10 ono will venture to dispute , how ever much some may persist in the view that there is not money enough , show that the per capita circulation of the country is argor than it ever was before , and wo enow from the silver transactions of the treasury that it is steadily increasing. It is explained in connection with the uiblishod statistics that the estimates luring the war period do not include In the circulation the ono and two year notes of ISO , nor the compound in terest notes , because they wore not i sod as a circulating medium , > ut wore hold as intarest-bear- ng investments , and when they came buck into the treasury were us clean and unworn as on the day ot issue. Neither are gold coin and gold certifi cates included in the circulation from 1802 to 1878 , because gold was then at a iromium In currency , was not in actual circulation and was treated as a comma- lily , except on the Pacific coast , whore the amount Of specie in circulation IB estimated at $25,000,000. Subsidiary silver was also excluded from circula- ton until 187(1 ( , when by act of congress t became n part of the circulation. Another element to bo considered , as going to reduce the real proportion of circulation in 1805 to the present volume , B the difference in the purchasing power of paper money. On July 1 , ISM , the amount of money In circulation was in round numbers $741,000,000 , of which $089,000,000 was paper. During the calendar year 1805 the average market > rieo ot gold woa 167 , so that It cqulred $157 in ourroncy to pur chase as much of any com modity as could be purchased with 8100 in gold. The $714,000,000 which vas then in circulation was therefore equivalent , as nil average for the year , o only $104,000,000 of the money which has constituted the currency of thl country slncu January 1,1870 , nn atnoun per capita of $11110. It is manifestly most important In considering the circu Intton of the war period not to leavi out of account the rolatlvo purchas ing power of the currency thot and now , and when this Is done it will bo econ that no only hasthoro boon n largo increase ii the nmoutit ot circulation per capita bu a material gam in the value of inonoj as determined by its purchasing power Such facts as the treasury department has presented are a conclusive rofuta tiotl of the assertion that the clrculatlot of the country lias declined , but it I ; perhaps lee much to expect that It wll have any Influence with the demagogue ! who are demanding a boundless intlatlot of fiat currency. Mil. riKVKIAXD n'AIUfED. Nothing has occurred in recent poll tics quite so unique as the open lettci addressed to Mr. Grover Cleveland ly Lieutenant Governor Jones of Now York who unjoys a national reputation as the man who pays the freight. Mr. Jones would like to bo governor of Now York but in the present circumstanced has nol the ghost of a chance of reachIng - Ing that political elovation. This in not duo to any lack of capacity or In- togrity. Unquestionably Jones could till the office , not comparably wiih soma of the great mon who have baon governors ornors of the Empire state , but doubt less as creditably and acceptably as the present incumbent. In a long business career as well as in public life Jones has established a character for honesty and uprightness. But ho is not a politician of the class now running thinirs in Now York , and therefore ho is ruled out of the nice. Ho is not in it either with the Cleveland or the Hill faction. But Jones has not on- ttroly lost his nerve , and ho dons not propose to Ho down and bo politically pulverized without making some notso. Mr. Roswell P. Flower is a candidate for the democratic nomination for gov ernor. He is several times a millionaire , and his chief merit as a politician is his liberality in contributing fur campaign expenses. It ha * boon supposed that Mr. Flower's candidacy was being backed by the influ ence of Governor Hill , but tlr's would seem from the letter of Mr. Jonoto , be a mibtakc. The lieutenant govo nor no tifies Mr. Cleveland that the friends of the ox-president nro freely using his name in their support of Mr. Flower , and then ho proceeds to warn Mr. Cleveland that ho is endangering his presidential chances by permitting1 this , lie is warned that ho is inviting the hostility of the \\ago earn ers , the toilers and producers by allowing the use of his name to promote the political chances of a millionaire. 'The fact is pointed out that there is n growing movement in protest against the aggressive power of wealth , and with that Mr. .Tones con cludes his peculiar letter. Now it is quite possible that Mr. Cleve land Is entirely innocent of any interest in or connection with the efforts of Mr. Flower to got the gubernatorial nomination. It is by no mean * , unlikely that Mr. Jones wasn't en tirely certain of what ho was talking about. And if ho wore it is not clear what ho could reasonably hope to accomplish by publishing such a lottor. But at any rate it throws tin interesting and somewhat amusing side light on democratic politics in Now York , and does not in the least detract from the favoiblo outlook for republican success. It makes plainer the fact that there is a great deal of disaffection in the demo cratic : ranks of a nature th'it is almost certain to make a republican victory this year. THK proposition that the county shall pay ono-half , the city one-fourth and the school district one-fourth of the cost of Lho election booths has the merit at least of easy calculation , though upon what basis the division is made is not. clear. However , as practically every dollar comes out of the taxpayers of the city it matters very little how the expense - ponso is divided among the three gov erning bodies. Tim retail merchants of Omaha will hid no public sentiment of approval of ibeir selfish scheme for increasing the icetiRo of the vendors of fruit and veg etables upon the streets from $ ( i to $20 i > or mouth. Having no public market , Ditmha housoholiler.s would find it very expensive to turn ever the green gro cery business entirely to the retail gro cers. Tlio license for street peddlers is iiigh enough. WHAT can bo dona to purge this city of municipal corruption and dishonest officials , is an oft repeated question. Could the honest , industrious and re spectable citizenship bo nwnkonod to the rue situation and induced to take an ac- tlvo interest in city government , there would be a reconstruction that would bo worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to Oicaha. OMAHA people will do well to recog nize the enterprise of Council Bluffs by ittonding the races at Union Park.

Sti.vnu CKKIIK , Nob. , Sopt. II ) . To the Ed itor of Tin : BKK : In your leading editorial of yesterday , speaking of n candidate for associate Justice of the supreme court , you truly say : "Tho mnn whom the republicans should nominate must bo free from the slight est suspicion of corporation iufluonco. In addition to being a thoroughly competent man for the highest Judicial position in the stulo ho must hnvo back of him a character and career absolutely unassailable. " Now if Hon. M. B. Iteoso does not 1111 the Jill I should like to know the reason why. I ; hing It is grtnorally understood among the furmers that Judge Hcoso was defeated fern n icnotnlnation two years ngo by railroad In- liienco. It will bo safe this yoarto nominate this man , whom of all others the null-ends do lot want. In nnotncr way can the republican mrty of this stnto as offectivolv show that it s now ready nnd nblo to cast off the Incubus of railroad domination as in thu nomination of M. B , lioeso to tlio supreme bench. It is useless to try to conconl the fact that lorotoforo tlio railroad poole [ have boon able n n largo moajurosuccossfullv to manipulate the politics of this state , and it has now como to this , that if they wilt not voluntarily gat out of the way it is our duty , n well as the lictato of sound policy , to kick them out of ho way , nnd I for ono propose , If necessary , ho latter alternative. Many republican formers have heretofore nsistod that If the rank nnd tlio of the party vould rouse themselves wo could purge It of tils baleful inlluonco. L-H the work of the omlng republican state convention provo the vlsdom of thcso farmers in roinnlnlne ' loyal o their party , and lot us show farmo'rs nnd others who hnvo temporarily loft the party that all virtue did not. go with them. Let us nominate Judge lioeso , and I believe thou-innds of conscientious voters who are Independ ents In fact as well as in nnmo , will ropudtnta the fourth-rnto county court house- petti fogger whom tholr party proposus to put in the line of succession to tha suat of chl-jf Jus tice of the supreme court of Nebraska. \Vn do not want a man on ttio sunromo bench who will do any injustice to thu rail roads , but wo do want a mnn who will do Jus tice by the people , und who , In deciding any IPSUO as between the railroads and the people ple In which there might bo a doubt as to where exact Justice lav , would give the jico- plo thu bonullt of that doubt. Uvidontly Judga Hcoso Is .such n man and thu loglu of the situation demands his nomination. CIIUII.M WOOSTKII , ( Milan IlonijjocH In Porn Mni.LKMio , Pom , Sopt. 9.

Tneienra many names mentioned , anyone of which would doubtless prove most acceptable to thu people , but what 1 hear Is merest rumor , so it is hardly worth giving It. The enthusiasm ovortho gallant behavior of the junta's troops continues unabated nnd It has been decided to give a number of graud banquets In testi mony of tholr bravery , und also to celebrate their triumph by a tridlinm. Minister Egan Is very busy at present. Ho Is playli.g tuo role of Intercessory for many toward thu conquered. Hu Is "using tbo strongust inlluonco nt his command on proml. nont men In the Junta's party In behnlf of Dnlmnccda's erstwhile supporters to prevent the confiscation of their property. It is very likely thut his efforts will hnvo coiijidomblu weight as there has , within the past low days , been n complete change In the nttltuda ot thu Junta's peonlo towards him. Among other signs of this Is an editorial today m the leading paper hero. It expresses great indignation at the attacks made on Minister . _ . Egun , both in C'nilt and abroad and declares thut all statements charging him with par tisanship nre utturly baseless. His conduct , it says has boon ns unselfish as it has been praiseworthy. That this is the truth , it adds , many prominent members of thu junta's cuuso can lostlfj- . Minister Egun's timely nnd courageous Intervention ut various critical timns , it says , saved many wull known Chilians of the con gressional party from disgrace nnd suffering. There nro many Incidents , it states , that may not be published ut the present time , but" " " * * when they are reverted to , It will bo found that Minister Egnn nas stood In nn env able light when compared to the ether foreign ministers in Chill. His privnto con. duct , it says , has been generous to all in dis tress , and sympathetic to these overcome by misfortune. Ttiat tbo Junta is dis posed to adopt a course toward Its late enemies is indicated by thq fact that it has ofllclally announced that free departure from Chili will ba permitted. General Valnsquez , Ualmucodn's minister of war , nrrlved hero last night and banned iu His submission to the junta. Chief ol Police Vuldlveso also arrived with the sumo object. Colonel Stcphnn , who with twenty- 11 fo cavalrymen were supposed to hnvo gone to the Argentine Republic u not ns guerillas , has been cnpturod nnd brought hero. Hi * cruelty and brutality to tbo antl-Balmnccdlsts who fell into bis power has aroused mtunso feeling against him.

Only among the young bloods in con gress and In the army Is any bitterness now Bxhlhitod. The national Independence day will bo duly celebrated on September 18. After that date the country , In all likelihood , will resume its normal quietude. Great preparations are on foot to colobrnto the oc casion.
