ofJlo r nr'iability , irit grity and xp * ri-
unco. A niaij who knows no law ctuinol
how tly jww ) utwti quentloim in which
knowledge of th law is a prerequisite
Judge A. M. i'ost , the republican nom
inee , Is a tnHti whtxw ability is beyond
question , wlirne integrity cannot Ixs a -
caiied and whoto exjwrience on the dis
trict bench has especially Jilted him for
promotion to the higher tribunal. He
IMS had lontr and successful practice at
the bar and equally successful exper
ience as a judge. He Is a man of native
ability and of good education. Ho is a
gentleman whovs record In public and
private life lias been above reproach.
Ho ib emburrassed by no entanglements
which can p'wsibly prevent him from
being a model justice of the rfupreme
court
On the other hand Jo Kdgcrton , hh
opponent , whom a mugwump organ
wants the democratic party to endoive ,
is utterly unfitted for the exalted posi
tion. His only exporlcnco at the bar has
been in jniinportant cabos before in
ferior courts. He is ab ) lutc ly without
judicial experience , never hating risen
lo a dignity of it justice of the peace.
His Inw practice has chiefly been in the
capacity cof town counsel for South
Omaha at a time when that city
had a most corrupt city gov
ernment. Ho is neither industrious ,
studious nor capable. His promi
nence has all been achieved on
the stump in-quest of olllce. lie hai
been a republican , a democrat , a union
labor man anu : ni Independent by
turns. Ho will be anything for oflice.
It requires Infinite assurance for a
man of such mediocre talents to aspire
to the position of associate justice of the
supreme court. Mr. Kdgorton is not
wanting In assurance. That Is his chief
and almost his only recommendation.
The early approach of the municipal
campaign makes It important that pub
lic attention bo directed lo tlio great
Hubjeci of good municipal government.
The greatest drawback to our pros
perity today is a want of confidence
In the Integrity of our city
council. In this respect Omaha
is only sharing the experience of other
cllliis. Omaha taxpayers fear to vote
for public Improvements lest the money
raised by taxalion shall not he honestly
expended. This want of confidence la
the result of neglect upon the p.irl of in
dividual clti/enw to exorcise their privi-
legoi1 and perform their public duties. If
wo could justonro Induce our best people
to take part in the preliminary proceed
ings incident lo municipal elections a
reform would bo wrought In the conduct
of the cltv's business which no amount
of newspaper discussion can over bring
about.
Senator Mandorson sounded the key
note of municipal reform when ho said
"tho era of uncertainty nnd distrust
Hliould bo terminated Ihia full by the
election of the most reliable and capable
men In the city to thoollicoH which must
bo Illlod in our municipal government. "
The senator means by this not that our
best men of all political parlies shall
meet In mass con volition and agree upon
anonparlitjan clti/un's ticket In advance ,
of the action of the political parties , but
that they shall participate In the cau
cuses , primaries and conventions of
their own party organi/.atlons and place
before the cltl/.uns thu bust mun of all
parties from whom the individual cili-
y.uu may select the most capable candi
dates and EO bo sure that only good men
shall bo elected.
There is a tremendously strong under
current o ( Honllmenl in Omaha just now
which will break down all the breast
works of partisanship and select only
.ho best men for olllco at the coming
election. The political parties , and
especially the republican party , must
not overlook this Hunlimont In making
up municipal and county tickets , livery
republican knows that within the tunics
of his party are men competent to give
to Oniahii a thoroughly honest ujnl ulll-
iiunt government , and it IH his duty to
tld by every honorable moans at club ,
uinuiH , primary , convention and uloc-
lion In wresting the control of city
UTali-H from thu class of men whom
liooplu naturally distrust.

A statement regarding the gold move

jvor $8(1,0(10,00(1 ( ( ( more gold than It has

$10,000,000 $ of gold was used In the
udustrlal arts hint year , and It Is shown
hat there Is a progressive Incruaso In
the usu of gold In the arts. The director

AUK WK 70 HA VK I-Ail IKK I'lllCESt
in a late ifwue of the American A'jri
cuUuruHn Mr. C. Wood Davis , the well
known airricultural statistician , asks
and answers the question that heads
this article. After reviewing the con
dltion of the Kuropean crobs and show
ing that there will probably be a
greater deficit than has been es
timated , Mr. Davis concludes that
prlf-es must go higher. Ho cal
culates that for the first nine
months of the cereal year Ku
ropcan requirements may be provided
for , but Iho demand for Iho other three
months can only be met by exports o
corn. The corn crop is estimated at
1,600,000,000 hubhels , but it Is not to bo
forgotten that the cribs are empty and
that tills crop must cover nearly or
quite fourteen months' consumption ,
fee that large as the crop
will be it will not bo ex
cessive , and with a foreign demand that
will inevitably coino the price ought to
and doubtichs will advance.
Mr. Davis remarks that owing to the
necessities of a grcal number of farmers
they will rush grain to market in such
quantities as to depress prices below
what would logically follow from the
world's deficient supply. Hut once Ku-
rope has consumed a considerable
part of ils deficient crop , says Mr.
Davis , and wo cease to market more
than goes immediately into consump
tion , there will bo aucl1 an uprush o !
prices as this generation has not wit
nessed. Ho observes that those who are
looking for higher prices should
now forget thai the whole world
Is no employed in marketing the
product of 280,000,000 acres of wheat
and rye. No matter how meager tlio
harvest inay have been , the necessities
of a vast number are such as to impel
them to market their grain just as soon
as it can be threshed. The grain thus
early marketed from American farms is
now moving to Iho seaboard in a trreat
swelling Jloou , which will probably bo
at ils maximum this month , and
from then until some weeks after
Iho beginning of Iho new year
will slowly ebb. Aflor lhat recession
will bo rapid , and as the tide ebbs so will
rise the price of all kinds of grain and
secondary food products. When the
now excessive marketing shall have so
diminished thai Iho amount going for
ward is somewhal le s than current
requirements , in Iho opinion of
Mr. Davis , prices will advance
"by leaps and bounds. " Then
the farmer , so fortunate as lo
have hold a largo part of this year's
abundant yield , will secure an ample
reward for his labor and expenditure ,
There can be no other result , as the
world has grown hut 82 per cent of Iho
bread required. After America , Asia ,
Africa and Australia have sent Europe
Iho last bushel of wheat that can bo
spared , there will bo at least
ton weeks for which no provision
seems possible but a resort to
American mal/e. Europe must cat our
corn or go without bread. The conclu
sions reached by Mr. Daviu appear to bo
ontlroly sound and logical , and they are
corluinlv very pleasing from the point
of view of Iho farmers , or at any rate
such of them as are in a position to hold
their wheat for a short timo.
THST and Llverlnghouso were relieved
Irom their positions in the Hastings asy
lum two weeks ago. That is , tholr pay
slopped and Ihoir official relations were
torminalod at that time. They diehard ,
liowovor , and it him boon developed before -
fore the Hoard of Public Lands and

jusl as if nothing had happened. These
gentlemen have lost none of tlio nerve
which led them to duplicate pay vouch
ers and help out the supply contractors.
TIIK prospect of frost and wintry
weather is promising , but it brings no
lope or roltof to the calamity crowd. It
comes too Into to bo useful for political
uirposos. With bursting granaries

The optimist speeches of Chancellor Von
Caprivi , pronounced soon after the edict
ordering a relaxation in the passport system
applied to Alsaco-Loralne , indicate a sudden
change in tno attitauoof Oormany. A few
days before the young Emperor \Vlllllam II
had recalled , tit the Erfurt banquet , ttiat
Napoleon I had humbled Germany in that
bamc city in 1607J ana that Franco had boon
moro than humbltdj d\ bar turn , at Sedan
and Psrls ; nnd ho had' appealed to his ofllcors
to cot ready for the approaching Inevitable
war. Now all this is changed , and the main
tenance of European ncaco seems to bo the
watchword of Germany , which is invited to
forpoo the "Wacht am Ithoin. " The latest
correspondence from Buda Posth to Euro
pean papers may explain this sudden moal-
Ilcntlon of sentiment in Gorman olllclal cir
cles. It is said that while Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria was attending the
irroat manoeuvres recently executed by Ids
Austro-Hungarlan troops , the leading
Mnpyars , who disllko Germany perhaps
still moro than they hate Russia , used their
inlluunco ever the emperor In an nntl-Ger-
mun 'direction. The "casm-foedoris , " or
cases in which the now Austro-Gorman
treaty of the triple nUianco would compel
the two allioto support each other , bad not
yet been practically determined in the text
of the treaty , it Is said that Emperor
Francis Joseph has finally decided to rccog-
nizo as "casus fondoris" only the three fol
lowing circumstance ! ) : First , an attack by
Franco on Italy ; secondly , and attack by
Franco on Germany ; nnd thirdly , nn attack
uy Hussia on Austro-IIungary. It will bo
noticed that no montlon is made of the case
in which Germany would take the offensive
and uttaek cither Franco or Hussia , and this
may explain , in pnit , the sudden peaceful
and optimist attitude of Chancellor Yon
Coprlvl.
It Hccms from full ofllclal reports that the
rumors of thu sui/.uro of Slgrl , on the Turk
ish bland of Mytilono , had a broader and
more solid foundation than the moro lauding
of n picnic party of liiitlsh navul olllcoi'.s.
Twelve minus were placed across the mouth
of the harbor , and eight guns wcro landed by
British vessels to protect the mines and boat
stations. To bo sura , all these warlike works
were removed In duo time , and It H said that
.ho Turkish olliolals gnvu consent boforo-
iiuid to the liberties taken with Turkish soil.
iut UID question naturally remains unsolved
whether or not the demonstration was In the
nnturo of an oxporlmen tasting the foasi-

Tbo nritisb army is still decreasing in
numbers. On the first day of this year the
number of effective non-conmlssloned officers
and men in tbe regular army was 902,110 ,
which was 4f 3 Iwlow tbo authorized estab
lishment. On the 1st day of July last the
number of effectives oad lalleil to about 1W-
000 , a loss of upward ? of 3,000 men , making
tbo total deficiency bslow the authorized es
tablishment close upon K,0X ( ) men. H is only
flvo years since tiie number ot recruits raised
in ono year reached 39/J71 in round num
bers 40,000 mea and of this number 30..VK )
were raised during the flMt six months of
that year. If 30,600 recruits had been raised
during the first sir months of the present
year , not only would there have been no loss
compared with the numoors on the 1st of
January , but the deficiency then existing
would have been reduced by about 1,000
men and would now Save stood at 3,000 only.
Unfortunately , this has not been the
case. Tbo number of recruits raised has
reached 1G,0X ( ) only , and tbo deficiency has
increased to S.OOO. Certainly 10,000 recruits
for tbo half year Is a little moro than half
the 31,407 raised during IbDO , but the de
crease of tbo army has been much greater
than in the similar period of 1890.

Some of the Paris newspapers bavo inti
mated that tbero would soon bo another
dreibund In Europe , formed by tbo entrance
of Spain Into tbo alliaaco between Franco
and Hussia. Spain would , however , have
little or nothing to gain by such a movement ,
while lbt < experience of Italy ought to show
her what n responsibility such an association
would impose upon hor. So far as her mili
tary strength is concerned , it is compara
tively slight ; but of her navy it cannot now
bo said , as In times of old , that "the Spanish
fleet you cnnuot SRO , because 'tis not in
sleht. " She has built up a largo and power
ful fleet , to whicb she is now adding six
,000-ton belted cruisers of great speed ? It Is
plain that tbo old combinations can no
longer bo counted upon in tbo event of a
European war , and if an alliance such as
tnat which has been hinted at should bo
formed tbu Spanish navy would become an
important factor in determining the control
of the Mediterranean.
A Shining Truth.

That the gift of public rights to private
corporations is an abuse of power on tbo part
of any legislative body xvhich Is guilty of it
must bo conceded by all who pivo caruful
thought to Iho matter. Public rights desired
by private corporations have a value , for
otherwise they would not bo desired. Why
should tbo circus of Chicago as a body ,
through their representatives , tbo mayor and
aldermen , give to a street car company a val
uable franchise ? As individuals they would
not think of giving away any valuable thing
possessed by them. They would either use
it themselves or sell it for a sudlciont consid
eration.

Fremont Tribune : Judge Broady does not

Madison Chronicle : Judge Post Is well
and favorably known all , ever the state , a
conscientious , honest lawyer nnd of profound
legal ability. Ho will receive the united and

Kearney Hub : It was the break of Ueoso's

Fremont Flail : These who nro predicting

Custor County Leader : The republican
state convention was marked for its harmony
nnd unanimity of action and as a result it
gave the people tbo host possible state ticket.
I'ho ticket is a strong ono and will draw to

ound 10,000 majority.

s a good guarantee that ho Is n man who

A correspondent of the postmaster general
has Just written him from a New England vll-
loeo upon the Importance of the extension of
tbo experimental free delivery service Into vil
lages and farming communities. Ho recalls
several incidents in his experience of over
fifteen years as a private mall messenger. In
connection wltn his regular business as
grooerytnan. On ono occasion , on a cold
stormy Saturday night , he remembers to have
banded a package to a farmer who received
mail matter for several families in his neigh
borhood. The man had not heard from tbo
postoffloe during the wbolo week , and was ,
as he said , Just about "to harness up and po
lor the mail. " In the eundlo of mail , as it
turned out , wcro several copies of the weekly
paper published In the neighboring town ,
that had been printed on the previous Mon
day.Tho
The experience of the North Carolina com
munity , bv which the circulation of the town
weekly was proved by actual figures to bo
greatly Increased by tnc private speclaldeuv-
ery. much after the plan now sug-gested
by the postmaster general , has been very
widely commented upon.
An Iowa correspondent of Mr. Wonamaker ,
commending the extension of the free deliv
ery Into small communities , says :
"You ought to keep in mind that anv suc
cessful effort In this airectlon does far moro
than simply facilitate the delivery of letters
and packntres it supplies to country readers
tbo beretoforo unknown luxurv of daily
"
"newspapers , as well as a more prompt deliv-
erie. of the weeklies nnu monthly magazines ,
so much more welcome in the countrv bouse
than to the average city reader. Farmers
and their families are most intelligent and
thoughtful readers of periodicals , partly be
cause they bavo time to dlsge t their con
tents ; consequently the great Increase of
newspaper circulation by improved delivery
will bo a boon to hundreds of thousands of
people throughout the country. "
Tbo writer is himself the editor of a coun
try weekly , and may therefore bo presumed
to know what hois talKing about ,
Special aeent of tholand oflico. J. D. Sat-
terlc of Tripoli , la. , bas been ofllciallv In
formed that it is the intention of the Interior
department to withdraw all special agents
from Iowa and Illinois in the near futufa for
the purpose of sending thorn to look after
timber depredations in the far northwest.
Mr. Sattorleo Is instructed to Inform Htato
Agent Hitt of Iowa of this departmental de
termination and to request his more actlvo
co-operation in settlement of pending land
cases in Bremer and Howard counties , Iowa.

For the first time iu the history of the
country the export aud import statistics now
shmv that the value of the articles Imported ,
free of duty , exceeds the value of these upon
which duty is paid. The exact figures
are 50 per cent for the ono
and 44 per cent for the other.
In the last eleven months the value of free
imports have exceeded the value ol dutiable
imports by $112,000,000. The free admission
of sugar has largely led to this revolution in
the tariff , but chemicals , arugs. and dye
stuffs , flax , hemp and Jute and fruits , not
produced in this country , are nlso important
factors. Moro requests for tariff figures are
received at the Bureau of Statis
tics , and at the Treasury depart
ment , from Ohio , Iowa , Nebraska and
Kansas than from all tbe rest of the states
togotner. The enormous output of docu
ments from the bureau is not enough to sup
ply the demand.

gentlemen are all farmers , substantial men
from the vicinity of Ashland , and had
known the defendant for a number
of years , some of thorn a long as

unanimous in the opinion that ho was al
ways regarded as a smart , active , intollleent
business man , made moncv , and was on
frlendlv terms with his neighbors. In the
lali of 1MU , and some of them thought as far
back as the prccodlne summer , they had no

emphatic than otners In their opinion , and
nil noticed that these chances took tno form
of melancholy , a lack of continuity In con

considered at the time they talked with him
that defendant was In such n state that he
wouldn't think it wrong to shoot a man , but
they cldom answered directly. Ono witnesi
