EDMONDS is the only lawyer in the United States who would dare to call in question the sublime wisdom of that oraculfir and corpulent body of stuffed prophets known as the United Slates supreme court while they are in full session. UKAmvoon is elated over the pros pect ot a $200,000 federal building. The bill hna passed the senate , iind as Senate - toPottigrow is backing it with his usual vigor the Black Hills metropolis can fool reasonably certain of its pas sage. When Pottigrow roaches out ' toward the treasury oven the chairman of the house committee on approorla- tions throws up his hands In dismay and forgets to object. A BOSTON democrat has boon looking at the prospect of war with Chili through Objector Holman's spectacles and roaches the conclusion that It would cost $2,000,000 at the very lirst clash of arms. Tlio Boston democrat should remember that the chase and capture of the Uata cost $ iOOU,000 ! and last win tor's Sioux campaign probably four times that sum. A war with Chili in these days of dynamite bomb * and tremendous guns would bo cheap lit $ " 0,000,000. A SUIT is to bo brought by the gov ernment against the venerable General uud ox-Speulcur Banks for the recovery of $ 1,000 lost during his term us United States marshal yours ago. It is almost cruel to harass the old man In his de clining years with this suit. General Banks did not prolit by the money in question. A deputy was indicted for its omhoz/.lomont and has never boon tried. It would bo bettor to send the deputy to the penitentiary and balance the books of General Bc.nks. The general , after a lifetime in the public service , is poor , TIIK republicans of the Ohio legisla ture propose to inquire into the legality of the election of United States Senator Brlco of that sluto. The question In volved Is whether Mr. Brlco is a resi dent ot that state , or was at the time of ills election , or a citizen of Now York. Ho has u homo in Now York City , owns n largo amount of property and carrtob on huslncbs there. Ho was enumerated in the census as n resident of Now York , lie also lias a homo and other property in Ohio , but for several years bus re sided very little of the time in that state , the greater part of his living there since he had n homo in Now York being during his contest for thesonator- ship. The republicans of the Ohio leg islature bollovo it can bo shown that when ho was elected to the soimto he was properly a citizen of the state of Now York , and therefore cannot repre sent Ohtp in the senate , It presents n quite Interesting question , upon which the United Slates senate may be asked to pass judgment. Meanwhile Mr , Brice is occupying his boat in the semite and laying nlans In conjunction with Mr , Hill and Mr , Cornmn for the future of the domoonitlo party I'Htlt'KTl'AT/AV ; IT3KI.P The annual mooting of the bankers Implement dcaloi-H , lawyers , politician ! mid Ida-gloved fur more , who for tin most part compose .tho State Board o Agriculture , is over , and , as tiBUiil , UK iiRMiibors have re-elected themsulvcs 01 their immediate friends for niiolhot year. Ten thousand dollars has boot cheerfully voted for increasing the Interest terost of gamblers lu the speed ring nti < ! ? U,000 for premiums for .county collce live exhibits of agricultural products. In this connection it Is of interest tc observe that , among the members of the board olot'tcd for the next two yours the following are patrons of husbandry : L. A. Kent , banker , Mir.don ; .1. 1) . McFar- land , B. & M. capitalist , Lincoln ; Cap' tain J. M. Leo , fanner politician , Oxford - ford ; S M. Barker , political farmer , Silver Crook ; Jo. B.

Dunham , capitalist , Omaha. People must not bo surprised at find ing many familiar names on this board. One of its chief objects , as before re marked in those columns , is to perpetu ate itself and promote the interests of its members. Agricultural development io a secondary consideration. Ml ! . .1///A.S IX TIIK ll.lXKS. Congressman Roger Q. Mills has done what ho was expected to do. Ho has notiHod tlio speaker of the house that ho will not serve as chairman of the committee' on Interstate and foreign commerce. This is one of the best com mittees of the house , all'ording opportu nity for useful and creditable work to u man of moderate ambition. But Mr. Mills has boon chairman of the loading committee of the house , tint of ways and means , and having declined the second place on that committee in this congress it was obviously unro isotiablo to sunposo that ho would accept a pon- tion deemed to bo inferior. The speaker doubtless did the bast ha could in the circumstances to give the Texas st ttos- man prominence among the committee chairmanships , but his effort is not ap preciated. Mr. Mills prefers to bo in the ranks , whore ho will bo under no obligations to Speaker Crisp and his imiTiediatof-io.il ) .ml cm nviko matters - tors as interesting for them as opportu nity and his peculiar temperament may suggest. Mr. Mills resigned his chairm inshlp after due deliberation , and taken in con nection with his recent utterances the action cannot bo rog.irded as having no ligiiificanec. lie has very recently in dicated lhat ho is not in favor of giving tlio country tarilT revision in install ments , as' Mr. Springer proposes shall lo done. Ho believes it to be the duty of the democrats in the house to make a general revision of the tanlT , regardless of the question whether a moisuro of this kind would pass ttio senate. Mr. Mills does not think it gojd policy for the democracy to tompori/.o or employ makeshifts in this mitter : , and ho evi dently intends not to bo a p.irty to such i policy. It is therefore to bo presumed -hat when the proper time comes Mr. Mills will declare himself in tnis matter n no uncertain terms , and it is not un- ikoly in that event that ho will bo bund to have a pretty strong following. L'horo is another matter regarding which Mr , Mills is not in sympathy with , ho dominant element of his party in the lousa lie thinks the democracy should 'or ' the present drop the question of the rco coinage of silver , while the coin- igo committee is already practically com- uitted in favor of reporting a free coinage iieauurc. On this subject it is to bo ex- ) oct < 'd that Mr. Mills will also have something positive to say at the right tlmo. In short , thu Texas congressman has i policy of his own which ho does not ntond to surrender without n contest , ind his bc t vantage ground for making i light will bo in the ranks. Ho would jo handicapped as the recipient of any consideration from the element that compassed his defeat for the spaaitor- ship. .iKiin snoi'ri > UK livery respectable riiirt law-abiding 'Itl onof Omahii will concede that the ollorts of ox-Assistant City Attorney Shoemaker to enforce the laws'and ordinances against the Halo of obsccno inpora are commendable. Whatever nav bo the outcome ot the court pro ceedings to punish Mr. Shoemaker for ontumpt , the sentiment of the cominun- ty la in favor of the suppression of ilthy papers that thrive on scandal and lander to the depraved appetite of poo- no for hlghty-colorod and sensational oports of the dolnga of the hrothol , as signation house and wine room. When the agents and correspondents of such dirty shoots tmiko It a practice o levy blackmail upon men and women > y threatening thorn with exposure of omo indiscretion they or tlioir relatives nay have committed or have boon sus- > octud of , and whuti these wretches pod- lleout Ubolousstorlori and hold them a ) olubs over the hoada of public olllclals uhargod with enforcing the laws , it is ncumboiit upon the community to back he oflleinls and demand that they do holr whole duty regardless of cense quences. The Omaha representative of a nasty Hibllcation Impudently boasts that hi * sheet docs nnt claim to bu rospoiitablo , nit urges that "it Is legal and contains nr superior matter to th.it found In the I'oliee ( , 'nztlte and Puliw .Yeiw. " Ho urthor declares that "there l no crime committed except when the paper Is sold o minors. " A man who apponU on suoh frounda for public sympathy has a very ow HtnwUrd of morals.

The pica that the law cannot bo vie luted except by the siila of indecent literature eraturo to minors is puerile. The fac that the Indecent Kansas City shoot bin been sold on the street corners by news boys affords ample proof of its sale t < them ns minors nnd would so hi ) re garded In any cpurt of jiutico. Down in Kansas City the people have sought protection from professional 11 holers nnd blackmallors through the errand jury nnd it may bo that wo shall have to emulate their example in Oma ha. To subject the people of this citj to systematic dofamition that invade : tho.family circle , incites violence IUIL sooner or later , is liable to result in n bloody tragedy. I'KM'OSKD iVKH' s Bills have boon introduced In congress to confer statehood on the territories ol Now Mexico , Utah and Oklahom i , and doubtless ArUutiu will rocolvo like con sideration. Wh it the chances arc for the admission of any of thosj territories by the present congress cannot now bo determined , but It will bo interesting to consider wlnt claims they present for statehood. The last census gave Now Mexico a population ot l.T5,000 , , and it is doubtless somewhat larger now. The last report of tbo governor in ido a very good show ing in regard to material development. The agricultural interest is growing , the mining industry is increasing , and in ether respects the territory is realiz ing a steady progress. But the objec tion remains that the pjpuUtlon is largely made up of people essentially alien in their ch.irnctor nnd sympathies , and if it bo admitted that the resources are sulllolont to maintain a state govern ment there is still the question whether the people as a whole could safely bo loft to govern themselves. A constitu tion was submitted to them in 1890 which was defeated by a largo majority , and although the governor explains that this w.is duo to party dlltorotujcs. and was not the result of a disinclina tion to assume the condition of state hood , still it was an unfavorable indica tion ot ponul'ir sentiment in the matlor for which tlio alien element of the popu lation was doubtless mainly responsible. Until this clement shalleoomo > so small a minority as to bo inenpibloof : mischief the expediency of conferring statehood on Now Mexico will bo questionable. Utah's population , by the census of 1800 , was close to SJOS.OOO , and the gov ernor's report for 18I ! plaosJ it at nearly 211,000. The as-Jossod value of oroporty , real and person-it , in 18' ) ! win in round ntiinbars $121,000,003. Bjta as to population and resourcas1 Utih has an unquestionable claim to statehood , and the only objt vole in the w.iy of attain ing it is the political iullujiico still ox- orclsod by the Mormo.1 church. This , however , is stoudilydojllnln , andthoro Is every reason to expect that within the next two these who - year or ai-o cjn- trollcd in their political action by tlio church will bo inn minority. Indeed there ib now no distinctively Mormon party , that organiition having dis- b.inded previous to the last election for the legislative assembly , many of its members uniting with the republican and domoyr.itic parties. While this has boon regarded as u ruse of the church loaders in the intoro.-lt of statohoo.l , and the Utah commisHion inclined to this view , the governor and others in a fa vorable position to judge h ivo. expressed - pressed the opinion that it w.is done in good faith. The growth of Oklahoma , , the young est of the territories and the smallest in area , has boon phenomenal. The last , report of the governor estimated the population to bo 80,000 , and this is probably not far out ol the way. Great progress has boon made in agricultural development , and tlio people of the ter ritory are of the most enterprising character. But Oulahoma can w.iit a fo\v \ years for statehood without injury to its material welfare. Arizona has a population of between 00,000 and 70,000 , andas nearly all of the public lands ot the territory are arid , the advance In population is cap tain to bo slow. Thotoaro largo unde veloped resources , but under present conditions it is questionable whether a state government could bo properly maintained. It thus appears that Utah alone Is able to present an entirely satisfactory chum , so far as population and developed re sources are concerned , to statehood , and there is really no valid reason against the admission of'that tpriitqry. TIIK Fifth Ward Taxpayers' club ob jects to the proposed sale and lease of the Board of Trade building. What luivo the taxpayers of the Fifth ward to do with the Board of Tradp bulltlingV Why didn't they protest against jth'o sale and lease of the Millard hotel. They had just as much right to object to the transfer of the hotel property as they have to any other property In which they have no share , and for which they are not taxedVe do not contend that the proposed wtlo of the-Bu.ird of Trade building is or is not proper. It is purely a question for thn members of tlio board who are shareholders In the1 building to determine. A sale and leasing buck will not put the Chamber "of Commerce on wheels , and that is all l'11 ' iuli' outside taxpayer could possibly bo Interested In. TllK 80't-flstcd fanners Ipf.'tho State Board of Agriculture are delimited with the boot sugar school , and they want now a dairy school and appropriations for farmers Institutes.VJiy ; would it not bo wise for the State Bo.vrd of Agri culture to expend part of 'its Kill-plus In tlioso Institutions- Instead nf liioi-ojising- premiums for the speed riiiff ? * TllK State Board of TraiiHpor.tatlon , it Is admitted , IH an iiiHtitutlqJi of , very small consequence to tlio state , but it might throw iUnil weight Into the in favor of milling In transit rates.

The socrolur&ji } asked whether there wns sulllclcntjjijonoy In the treasury to pay the bonds when duo , nnd , if soupon what authority" ho continued any of them. SocriilQry Foster repeatedly stated that ho could pay the bonds and ho fully explained In his annual paper why ho did t t/do / so. It was to avoid n serious Ulstur nco of the H nances of the country utu.tltno when Its resources are severely t-ixed by the movement of agricultur.il products. In the desire to avoid monetary disturbance during this critical period , says the secretary in bis report , and In tbo hope that the volume of money in circulation might bo in creased at an opportune tlmo , through the co-operation of the banks , the hold ers of the bonds wore offered their choice of presenting them for redemp tion or for continuance at the pleasure of the government at a loss rate of In terest. This was manifestly justified by tbo financial conditions then existing , and the authority for it is in the terms of the act under which the bonds were issued. It also had the support of pre cedent , Secretary Wlndoin having in 1881 continued the 5 per cent bonds without any question aa to the legality of his notion. It is not to bo doubted that Secretary Foster will give the house the information it asks for with entire satisfaction to the country , if not to the majority of that body. MILUXO in transit rates can bo secured for Omaha \vhon the railroads of the state demand the concession from their eastern connections. This talk about the question being one of inter state transportation and therefore diffi cult of solution is insufferable rot. When the B. & M. in Nebraska wants a con cession from the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy , it 1ms no difficulty in socu ing it. When the Union Pacific demands any reasonable favor from the North western the latter ro.id is not at all likely to ignore that demand. If the local roads will do their part the mill ing In transit rates will bo immediately agreed to. MH.KIUKI3XDAM/S proposition to sub scribe $160 in cash and to purchase fitly tickets to the international drill is a practical and commendable method nou only of raising'tlio necessary guarantee , but of onlistlri'g the interest of people outside of Omijlia in the meeting , as it is his purpose .to 'send the admission tickets to putr"dtis of his firm in the west.
