Kf < irtity Hub ,
THE BFE'S review of the business and
growth of Omaha dui Ing the j car just closed
is most llattciing to that city , ami U at the
same tlmou source of piido to every lojal
Nebraskun ,
As a matter of fact therohas been nothing
moro rumiukablo in the history of western
davclopment during the last decade than , thu
progress of Omaha from a squalid overgrown
tofcn to a metropolitan city that takes llrst
rank among thodtles of the west.
And the growth of Omaha , so fur from beIng -
Ing nearly done , has baiely commenced. A
half-million people for Omaha in the next ten
years may seem like un extravuKa.it predic
tion , but the writer expects to sco that llg-
uro reached within the tlmo named.
There Is u great territory Ij lug back of
Omaha that whcrvfairly developed will pio-
duce that veiy icsijlt.
Lincoln mav at the same time reasonably
expect to double her population , and while
that is being done Keauiey will easily i each
out to the 50,000 in.uk , with the other towns
of the state pulling up in fair propnition.
And while all this is going on Omaha will
bo the dealing house or the state , the. pulse
denoting the condition of its trade and i.v
dustiics , and the b.uonicter to denote the
rise or fall of financial temperature. The
growth of Omaha mustalwajs be nn index
to the growth and development of all of Ne
braska , and for that leabou the Hub notes
now and at all other times with pleasure any
evidence of her growing greatness.
A Public Misfortune.
St. Louts Globe-Democrat.
Itis alwajs a misfortune when a court is
called upon to rev low an election and decide
disputed points which involve partisan con
siderations Judges are human like other
men , and their political opinions and aflllia-
tlons may bo exiwvted to govern them in
dealing with political questions. This was
strikingly illustrated in the momentous
Hajos-Tilden contest ; and other examples
have been repeatedly presented. The effect
in all such cases is to weaken pop
ular respect for the judiciary. It is
a well known fact that the decision
of a court upon a subject of this kind
is satisfactory only to the party which wins ;
the other feolb that it has been cheated out
of its lights by a perversion of the rules of
justice to strictly political uses. If the November -
vember election had been a close ono as to
the ofllco of picbldent , these state contests
would have assumed national impoitanco ,
and might easily have led to gravely danger
ous icsults. The country gives them little
attention , because they relate entirely to
local interests ; but they tend to establish a
picccdcnt which may biing us much ttouhlo
in some futuic contingency. It would bo in-
ilnately better if the com Is could bo kept
frco from all participation in the settlement
of conlllcting election claims of every des
cription.

Is tiuo , novel theless. Osbotno is at last the

LIXCOLN , Neb , Jan. 7. [ Special to TUB
BEB.I The hearing of the inquiry into the
mjstoriesof the art of ralnmaking , via the
legal route , was continued in the county
court today , befoieaiiappicciativoaudience.
Dr. Sw isher , the rain wi/ard , was on the
stand the greater part of the time , but after
the attorney for Mr. McMurtry had found
out that theio were several ingiedlcnts in
the chemical compound , two of Babbitt's
metal and sulphmic acid ( four being solids ) ,
the other side objected , and the court de
cided that the doctor need not disclose his
secret.
The cuiious attoinoy , however , had the
doctor nut his appainlus together , and it
picsontcd a ludicious appearance when
ready for business , The chemical compound
was supposed to bo in the two big milk jars
or crocks , over each or which was placed an
inverted funnel. To each funnel was connected -
nected a few sections of tin pipe , resembling
speaking tubes , with a miniatuio elbow on
each upper end. The elbows , the doctor explained -
plained , weio inserted in the chimney ,
through which the powerful chemical was
Injected Into the outer air. Ho sometimes
used a galvanic battery , but did not do so in
bringing the rain last July. The doctor
swore positively that ho brought the rain ,
but when asked how ho know ho replied
because ho did it , and know ho did It.
Mr , McMurtry , from whom tlio doctor
wants | 300 as per contract for the rain , sots
up us a defense that the doctor didn't bi ing
this paitlcular storm , and called ono of the
state university weather bureau attaches.
Ho vvascnulppcd wlth.jcuaps which showed
that two da.vs previous lp the arrival of the
rain which Kwishor cUilns as his , lalnhad
boon piedlcted for that data by the signal
service. Ho also showed jTiom charts that
the rain was not conimcd to Lancaster

The case will bo concluded Monday with

an opinion as to the futuioof the maiket ,

-of comment is the favotable showing for the
