IT IS now thought thnt thcro is no
proHpcct of the ims. age of the Torroy
bankruptcy bill during the present scs-
Bion of congress. So much for the work
of the pestilent obstructionists who uro
determined to defeat the will of the
pooplo.
TilKiir. appears to bo some doubt as to
whether President Harrison will ap
point a successor to the late Justlco
Lamar , but It seems that ho la being
Htrongly urged to 'do so. In view of the
fact that .Mr. Cleveland will probably
liavo two appointments to the supreme
bench to make shortly after the begin
ning of his administration , duo to the
retirement of Justices Field and Blatch-
ford on account of ago , the propriety of
President Harrison appointing a suc
cessor to Lamar and of selecting- re
publican is hardly questionable. It
would not bo surprising , however , if the
president cither decided not to fill the
vacancy or to appoint a democrat to the
position. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
LESS than $20,000 re main of the appro
priation for the Nebraska exhibit at the
Columbian exposition , and according to
the estimates of the commission this will
go only a very short way in meeting the
requirements of a proper and creditable
exhibit. There appears to bo in tholeg-
islaturo , however , little disposition to
increase the appropriation , and it seems
certain that under existing conditions it
will bo very dillleult to have this done.
Everybody must appreciate the fact
that it is desirable for this state to make
a creditable display of its resources at
the exposition , if it makes any at all ,
and ainco it is evident this cannot bo
done without more money than has been
provided the question of air additional
appropriation should bo considered
broadly nnd dispassionately.
WITH reference to the proposed legis
lation to fix and regulate telephone
charges it may bo observed that there is
promise of these soon regulating them
selves through competition. Some of
the original telephone patents have
begun to expire , and the most Important
will bo out of the way on March 7 of this
year , but the field for inventors and com
peting companies will not bo entirely
clear until January of next year. Then
great improvements may bo expected
as well as a material reduction in the
cost of the service , though of course
thcro IB the possibility of a combination
to control the business and prevent such
n reduction as would result from unre
stricted competition. In any event no
harm can come , BO far as the public is
concerned , from legislation providing
for reasonable telephone charges , as has
boon done in other states.
TUB officers of the manufacturers as
sociation arc receiving many communi
cations from members all over the state
expressing their enthusiastic apprecia
tion of what the organization has al
ready done for their business and their
confidence that it will do yet more dur
ing the present year. Seme now mem
bers are being added and it is expected
that the number of applicants will bo
greatly increased as.a result of the second
end exposition if one is held this year , as
now seems probable. The homo patronage -
ago Idea has taken a strong hold and has
produced splendid results ull over the
Htato. Its workings have only just
begun to bo seen , however , and another
year will demonstratostill moro forcibly
the value of the movement as a means
of promoting the manufacturing and
trade interests of Nebraska.
A I..ATK bulletin from the census olllco
relating to the iron and stcol industry
In the south shows that , during the
dccado covered by the report great
progress has boon made in this Industry
in the nine southern states engaged in
it. Alabama far outstrips all the others
in the amount of business done and in
the percentage of Increase during the
tell years. In 1880 the capital invested
in Iron and stool manufacture In that
state was 81,100,100 , but In 1800 it had
increased to $10,3:18,780. : During the
same period the value of the products
of the Alabama mills Increased fron
8I,4W,3r ( 0 to $10,315,091. Virginia ranks
second among the southern states In
this Industry , with ,314,300 invested
a-s against $3,4111,000 , In 1SSO , and a pro
duct' valued at 83,025,481 , as agalns
8440,095 iu 1880. Tennessee comes third
with nearly 84,000,000 invested , and
shows about tlio same proportion of in
crcaso as the others. It is evident fron
tlicso figures that the Iron and steel in
dustry of the southern states la dostluoc
to become uno of the chief sources o
wealth and prosperity In that section o
the country , though it la not to bo ox
pooled that the growth indicated will be
< maintained at the EOIUO rato.
TtlK HKSL'M IX KAKS.IS.
The election of n democrat to the
United States scnato by a fusion of the
populist * and democrats In the Kansas
legislature Is the natural outcome of the
bluiuk-rlng and reckless course of the
republicans of thnt state. The legisla
ture of 1H01 was divided politically , the
republicans controlling the senate and
the people's party the house. The gov
ernor was a republican. Instead of sup
porting measures of reform demanded
by the people and to which the repub
lican party was pledged , the f-cnato
and the executive arrayed themselves
iu opposition to nearly every Important
piece of legislation that came from the
house- and persistently maintained this
position. The result was the defeat of a
number of measures for which there was
an urgent popular demand , and the enact
ment of which would unquestionably
have been beneficial to the whole pee
ple. Efforts by the house to introduce
economy in the expenditureof : the state
government , by cutting olT super
fluous officials and reducing appro-
p'-iutions. failed because of the opposi
tion of the senate. The houo adopted
a judicious measure regulating railroad
freights and fares and providing for the
election of railroad commissioners by
the dirci-l vote of the people , but the
senate refused to oven consider the bill ,
thus plainly showing that it was under
the absolute control of the corporations.
A bill prohibiting the issuing of free
w-sos by the railroads , which was
ted by the house , was pigeon-holed
n the senate. A house bill to prevent
nd punish usury was killed in the yen-
tc , and the same fate was met by bills
o remedy assessment abuses , prohibit-
ng the employment of private
irmed detective forces , prescribing pon-
ilties for accepting bribes , prohibiting
lie corrupt use of money and corrupt
icts at elections , and others of a general
linractcr. There was no justification
or the course of the republican senate
n opposing and defeating these meas-
iroa , all of which were called for in the
nterest of necessary reforms , and the
IVcct of this action was to still further
lumngo the republican party in the con-
idenco of the pooplo.
The Kansas republicans have not
ihown a bettor spirit since. The politi
cal managers of the party are evidently
of the cliifes whoso maxim is "rule or
uin , ' ' and unless there is a complete re
organization it is not dillleult to discern
vhat the future of republicanism in
Kansas must be. Meantime' that state
vlll bo represented In the United States
senate by a democrat , for it is pretty
safe to predict that whatever the ropub-
icans may do the national senate , which
ifter March 4 next will pass out of ro-
mblican control , will give Judge Marin -
, in the seat now occupied by Senator
Perkins. What olTcct the election
) f a democrat to the United
States scnato by populist votes will have
.ipon that party it is not easy to say.
Some of the active lenders of the people's
nirty In Kansas are said to regard the
iction with decided disfavor , and it is
reported that Mrs. Lease publicly re
nounced her connection with the party.
This feeling , however , may not bo gen
eral and It may not hold long with these
who entertain it. At any rate , the re
sult contains a lesson for republicans
which -they would do well tc
give attention to. No party can
afford to antagonize desirable legisla
tion , demanded by the people and in
tended to provide necessary reforms ,
because it originates with another party.
That was the mistake of the republican
feonato of Kansas two years ago.
A 1WS1XKSS HEX'S ADMIXISTHATION.
According to a reported intorvlow
with Mr. Ciovolnnd the next administra
tion will bo ono of business mon. The
president-elect is staled to have said
that business men nro to have the preference -
orenco in tlio appointments. The high
est recommendation of an applicant for
appointment , next to the fact of hi
being : i democrat" , will bo , according to
this report , a good business record.
"I shall appoint successful business
men as heads of the departments , "
Mr. Cleveland Is quoted as fay
ing , "and I shall expect this policy to
bo carried out in all departments of the
government. " IIo believes this to bo a
time when business men are needed , the
questions before the American people
being of a character that can best bo
solved by business men. "Reforms in
the tarilT , economy in the government ,
will bo easily accomplished if plain ,
practical , honest business men are sc-
iected , " Mr. Cleveland is reported to
have said.
Assuming the report to bo correct ,
the country will bo glad to hear of the
purpose of the president-elect to give it
a business administration. Having had
an experience- four years with an ad
ministration of that kind , with great ad
vantage to the country , the people will
heartily welcome a continuance of the
principle. The last democratic admin
istration was not of this order. On the
contrary , In no department , with the ex
ception , perhaps , of the navy , were
strict business methods observed In the
conduct of alTalrs. There was conspic
uous loo&oncss in the Postolllco and
Interior departments , with the in
evitable result of Impairing tlio
ofllcioncy of the service to the ma
terial injury of the republic. Not for
many years did postal-affairs got Into
worse shape- than during the Cleveland
administration , while the work of the
land olllco , the pension olllco and other
bureaus steadily accumulated. The In
coming administration will find that a
very decided reformation has taken
piaco. The postal Hervlco has attained
a higher standard of-ollioioncy than over
before In the history of the government ,
the bureaus have cleared away the
legacy of accumulated work loft by the
preceding administration and are about
up with the current business , and
throughout every department there la
strict attention to duty. In short , wo
have had under President Harrison u
thorough and careful business adminis
tration.
If Mr. Cleveland realizes and appre
ciates this ho will do well to emulate
the example. Ho will not have the
approval of the politicians , pure and
simple , In adopting this course , but ho
can bo sure of the approbation of
the country , and this will ho much moro
vuluablo to him , If ho attach any im-
purtniu'o to the place ho will occupy In
history than whnt the solf-HCcklng poli
ticians may .think. The promise will
Increase the popular Interest in the cab
inet appointments , from which It will bo
IHMMiblo to judge whether the next ad
ministration 1 to 1w more practical than
political. With one or two exceptions
.ho . men who uru nntued In thlsconncc-
lon are not known as business
ncn , but it would not bo fair
t/i form any conclusions 'n ' advance of
.ho olllclal unmimicomont of who are to
bo the heads of departments after March
4 next. It Is to bo nojwd that the In-
entlon of Mr. Cleveland Is correctly ro-
wrtcd. .

It Is claimed by the tories of Canada
hat the natural market of that country
s the British market , and by way of
proving this they show that of the total
exports of the Dominion the British
countries receive slightly more than
the United States. Thus , _ for the five
yenra ending with 1800 , the former re
ceived Canadian exports to the amount
if 12,000,000 , while 00,000,000 , worth
came to the United States.
It is needless to say that the reason
why the British exports of the Dominion
are greater than her exports to the
United Slates is found In the fact that
iier products enter the British market
free , while they must pay duties to get
into this country. But the figures above
given show tlmt even the tariff barrier
cannot keep them out , so strong is the
preference of the Canadian people for
the American market. In some portions
of Canada the exports to the United
States far exceed these to other
countries. The exports of Prince Ed
ward Island for 1800 amounted to
$887,000 , of which S50. > ,000 worth came
to the United States and only 815,000 ,
went to Bullish markets. In the same year
this country received $3,250,000 worth of
products from British Columbia , and
only S'J,500,000 , worth wont to all the rest
of the world. In 1890 Canada exported
minerals to the value of $4,855,000 , of
which $1,000,000 , , worth came to the
United States under duty. Although
the Dominion has a vast store of mineral
wealth , the total production amounts to
only one thirty-fifth that of the United
Stales , it being impossible to induce cap
italists to undertake the development of
the mineral resources of the country
under present conditions.
These facts throw some light upon the
conditions affecting the commerce of
Canada and clearly show the disadvan
tages under which the people of that
country are placed by the relations
which they sustain to the mother coun
try and to the United Stales. The sla-
tistics of exports demonstrate beyond
question that continental union would
result in a great commercial gain to
our northern neighbors and explain the
strong popular movement that is now
working 10 that end among them.
THE proposal to reduce passenger
rates to 2j cents per milo in Nebraska
and to prohibit free transportation
would not , if adopled , result in any loss
to the railroads , assuming that the pro
vision relating to free transportation
were rigidly enforced. All experience
shows that a moderate charge encourages
ages travel , anuTif everybody who now
gets free transportation , other than the
employes of the reads , were required
to pay , the Income from this
source would nearly or quite
make up the difference between the
present rate and the one proposed.
Numerous instances can bo cilcd of a re-
ductipn of passenger rates proving
profitable to the railroads from giving a
stimulus to travel , and that such should
bo the practical result is obvious. It
would bo a wise thing on the part of the
railroads to make this concession to the
public , but of course they will bo found
vigorously antagonizing the proposition.
IT is to be hoped that Chicago , in her
eagerness to reap a great harvest of
material gain from the World's fair , will
not bo unmindful of her obligation to
take every possible measure of precau
tion for the protection of the health of
the millions who will pour their money
Into her coffers. The exposition city
should not bo made a distributing
point for cholera or any other disease
thijt thrives .upon bad sanitary condi
tions , and yet it does not appear that
Chicago is taking the needful measures
to insure cleanliness. The city is con
fessedly filthy and all ' efforts to
Induce public ofiluitils to do their duty
In the mutter of'heulth precautions have
produced little effect. Plenty of money
for the effective performance of the
work is wrung from the taxpayers , but
an outrageously small return is given
for it. Lot Chicago turn her able sandbaggers -
baggers loose on" her equally ublo
boodlors.
TAMMANY is opposing national
quarantine with all Its power because
It wants to run the quarantine business
in Now York for what there Is in it
politically and financially. Now York
lias always claimed that the rest of the
country had no right to complain of
Tammany if she could stand it , but the
organization often proves ilself an
enemy to the inlorosts of the people
everywhere.

Tun Bun rorrosixmdcnt has the authority
for announcing in the most positive terms
that Pivsldcnt Harrison will nominate a
successor to the late Associate Justice
l-atnnr. The nomination will pmbablv bo
sent to the sonata -before the end of next
week. Tim president will not bo deterred
by the democratic nml mugwump
clamor whli-li has arisen slnco the
death of Justlco T < ; unnr from exercising
what ho regards , not merely us his constitu
tional right , hut us his olllclal duty. More
over there is every reason for asserting that
whoever may be nominated for tlio vacancy
on the supreme bench , will bo conllrmcd , de
spite the partisan opposition of certain dem
ocratic senators who will probably bo led by
Senators Vest and Voorhecs. The president
consulted , at the white house today , about
this subject with Vice President Morton and
Senators Mandersuii , Platt , Dolph , lliggins
and others.
His conversation with the vlco president
is supposed to have been with reference to
forcing confirmation and the presiding ofllcor
of the senate is believed to have satisfied the
president that It Is within the power of the
republican majority in that body to compel
the conllrmntion of any man who l.s up to tlio
high standard of the previous Judicial ap
pointments made by this administration.
UIMY H.Miiy llu Avcompllslinl.
The light over the continuation of cx-
lloprcsoiitntivoMcCoimis of Maryland to the
supreme bench of the District of
Columbia , which was vry bitter
mid determined , demonstrated that the dem
ocratic side of the senate chamber can bo
overcome if tlio republicans are united in
their opposition to any nomination. Tills can
bo done either by some form of clotiiro re
stricted in its working to executive sessions
or by threatening to spend so much time In
considering the nomination as to imperil ono
or moro of the great appropriation bills and
so compel an extra session of the next con
gress immediately after March 4.
From tlio conversations which the presi
dent held with some of the senators who
consulted will ! him today Tun Jiiu cor-
resixmdent is able to indicate quito accu
rately the position taken by the president.
He believes it to be his right and his duty to
fill the vacancy on the supreme bench. In
the second pluco he regards it as his duty
, .to his party and his country to nominate ii
republican or at least a man who is not im
pregnated with the doctrine of states
rights as was Justice Lamur and as Is Chief
Justice Fuller , hi the next place the
president considers that the appointment
ought , if possible , to go south , inasmuch us
Justice Lamar was the only distinctive ,
southern man uiwn the supreme bench.
Finally the president , under ordinary cir
cumstances , would regard It as almost im
perative to 1111 the vacancy by the promotion
of some republican Judge of a southern cir
cuit court. Such n promotion , however.
would cause n vacancy on the local federal
bcciieh , which , on account of the lack of
time between now and March -1. would al
most fortainly bo left for President Cleveland -
land to fill.

Will Consider Morll Wholly.
During the coming week President Harri
son will examine carefully the names of
prominent southern republicans both on and
off the federal bench which may bo submit
ted to him , and if ho llnds among them a
man who meets his standard as to private.
character and professional acquirements ho
will undoubtedly .bo noninated. If thl > list
of southern republican Jurists should not
provo wholly satisfactory , then the president
might turn to the north , although oven then
ho would bo disposed to select a southern
democratic Judge or lawyer whoso partisan
ship is not extreme and who recognizes that
the civil war ended tlio doctrine of states
rights us well us the institutions of slavery.
Of northern republicans , should ho bo
brought to choose from among then , the presi
dent is known to look with n most favorable
eye upon ex-Senator John C. Spoonor of Wis-
ironsin. Mr. Spooner , while u member of the
senate , made many warm personal friends
among democrats as well as on his own side
of the chamber. His personal character , his
professional experience and his natural abil
ity would all unite in making opposition to
his confirmation ou either partisan or sec
tional grounds absolutely futlio.
Tracy unit N'oliln Would Accept.
It is understood tlfnt there are two mem
bers of President Harrison's cabinet who
would accept the nomination if it were
tendered them Secretary Tracy of the
Navy and Secretary Noble of the Interior.
If ho makes the selection from a northern
state tlio president would doubtless give the
name of General Tracy serious consideration.
' 1 hero is now no member of tlio supreme court
from the state of Now York , and moreover ,
the president is known to nave the highest
respect for General Traev's ability us u
lawyer and a most corulnl liking for him us a
man. Friends of Secretary Noble have gone
