TIIK n'oiiK or NATIONAL
U would bo a grave mistake to aban
don the work of national defense so wall
be/iun / and succcsifully carried forward
under the present administration , Sao-
rotary Tracy says In hl annual report
that whllo progress in the reconstruc
tion of the navy has boon rnpld , other
nations bulhllnfr upon woll-cstabllshod
foundations have not boon idle , nnd the
United States is by no moans yet in a
condition of adequate defense.
Tlio reasons for continuing the work
of defense are found in the atrgresslvo
policy of foreign nations , which must
sooner or later , us Secretary Traoy says ,
force this country into a position where
it cannot disregard measures which
form u standing menace to its prosperity
nnd security. Our commerce Is 1hroat-
oncd with a destructive discrimination
on the Isthmus of Panama. The mari
time Htatos of Europe are extending
their power and inlluotico in the South
Piielllu by annexations and pi-otactorates.
On the custom and western coasts
of Canada subsidised lines of Btcamors
"aro completing thoeiroto of. nwltlmo
communication and fortresses daily In
creasing in strength nnd surrounding
our coast upon tlio south and the cast. "
The nations of tlio old -vorld are looking
with oiigo1 eyes to the opportunities of
this hemisphere and are not only "deter
mined to maintain what influence and
power they have hero , hut to In-
oroa"o them. T icy are jealous of
every advance m ido by the
United States in onlirging its
commercial relations with the
independent countries of this hemis
phere , the tendency of which is nlfeo to
strengthen its politiunl inlluotico with
UUHO countries. They have spared no
effort to defeat our reciprocity policy ,
ami they are persistently working to in-
oronso their advantages in American
countries where wo are striving to Im-
piovu our iclutioiH.
So long as the contest is conllnod to
fair commercial competition it will con
tinue to bo a paacoful contest , but the
tlmo must como when tbo coun
try will Hnd it necessary to
oppose , under the principle of
of the Monroe doctrine , tlio aggressive
policy of foreign nations.Vhonovor
that time comes wo must be fully prepared -
pared to defend ourselves , for the na
tions ot the old world will not meekly
surrender any of tlio advantages they
may have acquired.
It is folly to rest our security upon
the idea of our isolation. As ti grout
commercial power , doing business
with Tall the world and still
far from the condition of full do >
voloptnont , wo. are not isolated.
On the contrary the United Stutes
is an extremely important and active
member of the family of nations , oc
cupying the most commanding position
in nqu.ittor of the world whoso nossl
bihties nro beyond the power of any one
to forecast , and in this relation wo.havc
interests and obligations to care for thai
will not permit us to ba isolated.Vc
cuinot protect those if unable to defotu
ourselves against any power that eeeki
to interfere with thorn.
Unfortunately thoto is little p-obabil
ity that much will be done under thi
succeeding administration to continue
the work of pioviding an adequate do
fence. Although o io of Iho greates
democratic statesmen of his time , Snm
' ucl J. Tildon utged the duty and nocos
slty of this policy the democratic parti
lias never shown tiny dibnosition toadop
it , mid it will not be likely to do so now

The authorities of Dakota county
have awakened to the fact that the
unrestrained license that has long pre
vailed in CovlngtonI ? bringing roproafih
upon the county and Indicting injury
upon every true interest In that section
of the stato. Having become con
vinced that the olllclals ot the city are
indifferent concerning the ourso that
rests upon it , if indeed they nro not
actually in sympathy with It , the
county ntithoritlos have taken the matter -
tor up and will ondcavor to put n stop
to the riot of vice nnd crlmo that has
made Covington n byword and n re
proach.
It Is well known that Covington lias
been made a sort of cesspool into which
everything vile In Sioux City has boon
discharged. The two towns nro only
separated by the Missouri river ana are
connected by n pontoon bridge. Gam
blers , thieves , thuga and wicked women
use Covington as n rendezvous , and
while they are in olToct part nnd parcel
of the population of Sioux City the
Nebraska town has to boar the disgrace
of their presence. They prey upon
Sioux City and the whole btirrounding
country , enticing victims'into their
Hiiares by the various moans so familiar
to their kind.
It is time to put n stop to this dis
graceful saturnalia. For the rouulatiou
of the city , the county and the state the
authorities of Dilcotn county should
stand llriniy upon the ground they have
talcau. If tlio gamblers and thieves are
driven out of Covington they will have
to get out of the country , for Sioux City
will not harbor them nnd there is not n
town in Nebraska that will tolornto any
colonisation of such cluiractors. Gam
blers and sharks there are in all com
munities , but when they become bo bold
and so numerous that they "own the
town" it is time to wipe them out.

It is not easy to comprehend the enor
mous outllow of agricultural products
from the west to the eastern seaboard or
to realize the wonderful rapidity with
which it is increasing from year to
year. There is no menus of accurately
measuring tliis growing commerce , but
some idea of its magnitude may bo de
rived from statistics i elating to
the carrying trade on the great
lakes. The vast quantity of freight
carried enstimrd by the rail
roads cannot well bo measured or
oven estimated , but as western products ,
chiolly grain , constitute the bulk of the
freight carried on the lakes it is possible
blo to form some conception of the vol
ume of the western output of agricultu
ral products by referring to the vessel
tomuiiro of the inland seas. In 180J tbo
tonnage that pissed through the Detroit
river was 21,031,000 tons , and the greater
portion of this was duo to the grain
trnlllc furnished by the west. It is ostl-
mntcd that the tonnage for tbo present
year is about 23,000,000 tons.
The greater portion of the western
grain that goes east by the lulces is
shipped from Chicago , Duluth and Mil
waukee. At Chicago alone tlio arrivals
' and clonranees during 1800 reached
about 9 , ( 00,000 tons , and in point of num
bers they equalled those of Now "York
and Boston combined. Many who have
not yet reached middle ago can
remember when Chicago had no
shipping of any consequence , and
so recently as 180D the harbor wau
thought to bo of so little account that
the legislature of Illinois practically
gave it to a railroad comp my by the
passage of the lake front net rccent'j '
overthrown by a decision of Justice
I < iold. Great changes h ivo taiton place
since then In the lake cnmmereo ol
Chicago and the development of the
agricultural interests of the west has
boon chiolly instrumental in bringing
them about. To that development is
ir also duo in great dogrco the ad lition ol
atg nearly l,000.00u souls to the population
g of Chicago in a little moro than twontj

ho QTni : farmers who are ongugod in tl
ed sugar beet industry nt Grand Islar
in- have fully satisfied themselves this yei
ilti that the business pays. It is shown I
icrs figures presented in TUB BICIS that U
10. returns per aero on seventeen farn
10.bo
bo ranged from $10.10 to $73.80 , while tl
cost of labor is said to bo not moro tin
od 820 per aero , It is not surprising tin
ils some of those boot growers are rauklr
d * ; plans to double their ncroago no
ias- season. In all but ono of the cases erivi
Lho the number of acres cultivated was smn
the usually not exceeding three. Ono mi
.ds. who raised thirty-fire acres recolv
only $37.82 per nero for his crop , which
would scorn to indicate that the carotul
cultivation which cannot always bo
plvon to n largo ncrongo Is ossontlal lo
n largo rlold per aero. Whllo it is not
to bo expected that tin average ot profit
anything llkoflio figures given can bode-
pondod upon in this , industry , it 1ft
novarthnloas evident thcit the boot busi
ness is destined tel > ogoino a very im
portant ono in this sjato.
Till ! present tlulljfijBa of the iron busi
ness is attributed Ity the htm Trade
Jtcviao to uncertainty ns to what the
democrats will do fn'Vtiapoct to the tar
iff. "It Mr. ClovolfiVitl nnd Iho lenders

gross is looked for , If yes , whit mnti-
nor of tariff legislation is on the pro
gram , there would bo an end to
so much of the present hesitation
ns is bocottcn of political uncoittunty. "
This Indicates that the result of the
election has hud an effect upon at least
ono Important industry , notwithstand
ing tlio assertion that the democrats do
not Intend lo injure any interest ot tbo
country. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
IT is unfortunate that the state of
Kentucky is in danger of being pre
vented from having an exhibit at the
World's fair. It has been decided by
the court ot appeals of that state that
the appropriation of 4100,000 for that
purpose was illegally passed. This dis
poses of the present appropriation , and
although nn effort will bo mtulo to pass
another bill , the decision will greatly
interfere with the exhibit oven if the ef
fort is successful , for the work will have
to bo abandoned for the present. The ex
hibits will all have to bo In by the first of
April nnd the time is nouo too long
o\on without any delay.
AN iNciuubi : of 145,112 head of cattle
for tbo year ending November HO , 1892 ,
over the number received during the
previous year is the record ot the Union
Stock Yards company of South Oimihn ,
and it is n record to be proud of. The
gain in the receipts of hogs over the
previous year was 2115,201. South Omaha
is the only packing point that bus shown
an tibtual increase in receipts , nnd there
seems to be good ground for the belief
that the same pace will bo kept up
during the coming year.
Tin : road tax collected in the state of
Indiana this ye ir amounts to $2,209,673.
At the rate of SI,500 n milo this would ,
it is estimated , build 1,513 miles ot excellent -
collont roads. Probably not titty miles
of good roads wore built in the state
with the largo ntnotfiit pf ] money raised
for thnt purpose. T ho saino condition
of affairs exists in other states and the
need of systematic road building Is thu a
nrido apparent. The iinonoy is now
simply wasted.

bituminous mines are so widely distri

THU advance in the price of whisky
is explained by tlio trust as necessary
"because of the speculative markot. "
This is quito cool enough for the season ,
but it is at least frank , and this cannot
bo said of the other trusts when they nt
tempt to explain an advance of prices.
The country is patiently waiting for a
determined effort to suppress those
combinations , but tbo outlook is not ro-
ussuiing.
A SENSATIONAL sheet bearing the

Mr. CtUp entered the hall of tlio house nnd
stalked to his chair. A spontaneous burst of
ipplauso followed bis iippearame. It was
noticeable that this applause iMtne from the
republican bide of the house as well as from
.ho democratic. The party enemies of Mr.
Crisp jollied with Ills own political associates
.n . showing him most emphatically their per
sonal esteem and their wish to rehulio the
udlguitj which the mugwumps had heaped
upon him.

Members of the house of both parties have
been outspoken today in their denunciation
of what they consider the Inhospitable and
discourteous conduct of the maiugeis of the
Keform club banquet The most fiequeiit
comment is that .Sir I'rlsp should not have
been inviteil at all since he was not in pol-
litical svmpathy with the Keform club or
else hulug been Invited limbo m ch.uge of
the fe.ist should not have per-
mittoel icpresentative- Thomas John
son of Ohio to deliver his speech
eiitiei7iug the spcakoi and his associates in
the management of the house Muicovcr.lt
is felt that having been invited to the din
ner. Air Ciisp. as speaker of the house , and
hence ranking second oal.v to the picsidunt-
eleet of the democi.ilic paitv , should not
meicly ha\c been tequosled , but mged , to
make the speech which was not delivered
Now tint his speech which was not deliv
ered h is been published it is evident tli it It
would have been thoioiijfhly in harmony
with the platitudes delivered by Mr Cleve
land himself
Should the feelintr which now exists
among the incnibeis of this cougicss who
have been re-elected continue , it is evident
that the opposition to the re-election of Mr.
Crisp as speaker has received a fatal blow.
The enemies of Mr Ciisp and of his policy
within hia own party havodoiic him the best
posbiblo service by their insult. The opposi
tion to his rc-eloctiou which , while still un-
organbed , had begun to make its strength
evident , and would have chosen as Its candi
date cither .Mr WilrrfU-o > West Vhginia , Mr.
Uymiiu of Indiana or Mr. Bieekinudgo of
Kentucky , but today the tegular democracy
as repiescnted In the house feels that the
time lias como to assort itself and to stamp
the despised mugwump undue foot It w.is
commonly remarked today that Mr Andei-
sou and liib club fi lends had practically made
coi tain tlio re-election of Mr Cusp

at the opening of today's session of tlio
senate When seen bv Tin : 15ii : correspond
ent today the -nator said tint he had % ei.v
little to s iy about the bim.itoiial light in his
state , and i that it might bo concluded
immodest , because ho w.is bup-
posed to ho a candidate for
the beat ho now occupies. The senator was
emphatic in staling , how ever , that the legis
lature in Wiomiug was icpubllcan on a lair
and squ.uo vote , and if no unfair me ins weio
taken by tbo opponents of the icpiiblican
