WITH .Tiimes North at the head of the United States collector's olllco and John J. Mattes as corncako envoy extraordi nary to Germany , there will bo two va cancies In the sli.to senate , which the voters of Platte and Otoo counties wil 1)0 ) called upon to fill in November. Tin : strike of the coal minors in Kan sas is spreading gradually. The zinc sraoltors of Pittsburg , in that state , have boon compelled to shut dawn and dis tress and privation are rapidly begin niuar to assort thomsolvos. Popular sentiment continues with the strikers. TnE now liquor law of Michigan places drunkenness in the catalogue o curable diseases and every offender may if he elects , bo subjected to the bl u chloride of gold euro at the expense o the county in which ho lives. The experiment porimont will bo watched with intercs by the students of social problems. THE attorney goporal of Kansas Is hnv ing an up-hill job in compelling the cor porations to obey the laws recently en aotod for tholr regulation. The impun ity with which the corporations' ignore the lows and defy the authorities la ono of the most serious things with which n popular solf-govornmont is confronted. AMUITIOUS democratic patriots who have sot their hearts upon civilizing the rod man's agents and accumulating n fortune in four years on u salary of $1,50C per annum have experienced iaoxproa- Bible disgust over theiintrusion of twontj West Pointers into the preserves of FootLe Lo , and a revolt of the flesh pot brigade IB imminent. THE now revenue collector has als < put a white house padlock on his ante room door. lie sees President Cleveland land and goes him ono batter. Ho nol only declines to sco applicants for dopu- tyahipa , but proclaims that ho cannot al present answer written applications. Mr. North is probably engaged in preparing - paring a now revenue tariff or a taritT for revenue only. A QREAT many lively towns in Nebraska braska will tmfTor inconvenience on ac count of the wave of retronohmcn1 which has struck the Union Pacific urn D. & M. headquarters. Passenger trait service has boon suspended on all brand linea of both systems and but ono froigh train each way is the daily allowance Still the people along these branch line : vrlll prefer reduced rates to upholatoroi seats , always providing that they go the roduood rates. THE Illinois legislature has submlttoi to the voters of that state n proportion t call n constitutional convention. Tin Illinois constitution served as a mode for the present constitution of Nobraski and in many respects it was the mos comprehensive fundamental law that ha been framed by any of the states afto the adoption of the Kith , 14th and Ifitl amendments to the federal constitution If Illinois has outgrown her oonstitutioi Nebraska must ore long reconstruct ho people's ohartor. It is only a questioi l > y what method this reconstruction ca bo effected In the shortest time for th least money. THE State Board of Public Lands an Bulldlngrt has not yet decided whotho Moshor's assignment ot the ponitontlar lease to Dorgan is or is not valid. It I understood , however , that Moshor he been receiving the 94,000 a month froi the state in payment for the care an feeding of the convicts. If so , thi inonoy can bo classed as the logltimal assets of the self-convicted bank pres dent. In this connection it will bo wo to recall the recent decision of the s\ \ promo court in the case of the state vi the Kearney Savings bank , the ossontu point of which is as follows : "In wlm ing up the affairs of an insolvent haul under the statutes ot this state , the n ceivor of such bank , when so authorize bj this court , may take Buah stops i shall be necessary to cimhlo him to & euro posboSKlon of the assets of sue bank , or tholr vnluo , " to. . & ! > CO.VFJDB.YOC. . . . The action of the Now York Clearing louse association in deciding to issue oan certificates to relieve the pressure of the financial situation had an immo- llato reassuring effect upon the country , [ t operated as a tonic to confidence and ts invigorating inlluonco was felt at once throughout the entire financial system. The moment the great moneyed nstltutlons of Now York proclaimed , as hey had done two or throe times before , hat they would stand together for nultml help and protection , financial ntorcsts everywhere felt that the ) orll would bo tided over. Appro- icnsion nnd distrust gave place o n calmer nnd more rational view of things. The action of the Now York Clearing House association was not absolutely necessary , since no cer tificates have been issued or called for , Hit it served the purpose of strengthen- nc confidence nil along the line , and this was really all that was needed. There have undoubtedly been some substantial reasons for the financial dis trust , but there has been no occasion for -ho extreme lack of public confidence that has been manifested. As the Phil adelphia J > ( ? //cr well says , the country was never so rich as at present ; its com merce , its industries , -its agri culture , are all fairly pros perous , nnd the best indication 3 ? all that the existing depression is likely to bo but a transient incident is to be found in the general employment of labor and the continued stability of wage rates. Ally Intelligent study of the conditions which , insure material progress and prosperity must carry the conviction that there is no good ground for apprehending financial disaster. Tlio evidence is that our banking insti tutions as a whole are sound and fully entitled to public confidence. It may bo well to observe in this connection that while the public is asked-to have confi dence in the banks those institutions have a most important duty to per form. It is well to bo conserv ative and careful , but the banks can do more than any agency other to restore confidence by affording judicious help to all legitimate business , by maintaining the credit of their customers , and by using tholr power to keep the machinery of trade in operation. This is their principal func tion and in its proper performance the banks can do a great deal to restore nnd maintain confidence. N ron A TIIIIW TBHM. Iowa will elect state officers and mem bers of the legislature next November and an earnest , vigorous and interesting contest between the political parties for the control of the state is assured. Iowa , it need hardly bo said , is still de batable ground in a state election , although it gave a republican plurality at the last presidential olcntlon of 23,728. The democrats elected their candidate for governor in 1889 by a plurality of 0,52'i , , prohibition being the leading issue , and ro-oloctcd him in 1891 , in creasing the plurality to 8,210 , the same issue predominating. They failed , however , to carry the legislature in either of those years and there fore the prohibition issue con tinues undisposed of with the probability that it will play a loading part in the campaign of this year. Another thing that will give this year's election added interest is the fact that the legislature to bo chosen will elect a successor to United States Senator James P. Wilson , whoso term expires March 3 , 1895. It is understood that Governor Boioa will bo urged to accept the nomination for a third term. According to report ho has been desirous to give way to some ono else who may aspire to the ovornorship and to enter the race for -ho United States senate in case the democrats should carry the legislature , jut it is understood to bo the unanimous opinion of the democratic state committee , after n thorough canvass of the situation , that Governor Boies should stand as a candidate for ro-oloO' tion , and if such h the case it is possible that ho will accpdo to a demand which doubtless represents the wish of a vorj largo majority of the democrats of Iowa , There is just ono consideration that maj deter him , and that is tlio quostior whether accepting a third nomination for governor could interfere with hi ; chances of going to tlio national senate should his party got the legislature , There are several ways of looking nt this. It is unquestionably true thai Governor Boies is by far tlio strongosi man in his party in Iowa , and that as t candidate for either governor or sonatoi ho will encounter no serious opposition but can ho maintain his strength and hi nt the same time a candidate for botl offices ? Can ho , for example , success fully play virtually the same sort o game that David Bennett Hill played it Now York ? As an avowed candidate for the national senate , with HQIUO one else at the head of the state ticket , it h quite possible that Governor Boio would bo a more potent force in tin campaign than if ho wore again n can dldato for governor with tlio under' standing that if the democrats obtalnoc control of the legislature ho should ox poet to go to the senate. Few men nri so great as political Joadora tliat the ; can ask sa muoh of their party % vlthou inciting objections damaging : lo tholi strength and to the party , and it is no certain that Governor Boies ia one such That ho has a very firm holi upon the respect and oonfUlenc of his partibans is not to b doubted , but even such a man may giv offense to some by an exhibition of pollt ical greed. It is to bo presumed , there fore , that Governor Boies will carefull carefully consider whether his politico future will bo boat benefited by ngal running ( or governor with the condltio that ho shall bo transferred to "Washing ton , If his party has the power to do sc or by being a candidate for only ono c the offices \ > lth which his name i associated. It must bo frankly admitted that Go\ crnor Boles has made n creditable roi ord , and as the democrats of Iowa prol ably have no objection to n third ten there is no reason to doubt the it ho should bo again nominate ho would command the full strengt of the party and possibly eomi thing more , Perhaps hu woul prove himself to bo the ma formidable candidate the democrats could name , but nt any rate the repub licans of lown may as well understand that in order to boat any popular demo cratic candidate for governor this year they must select the very best man they have , None of the men who have been dead weights on the party In the past nnd who are mainly responsible for its mistakes , especially the crowning ono of prohibition , will do to lead the re publican battle in 1893. Some of these are being talked of nnd the quicker they are discarded the bettor for the party. They never have boon any use to It nnd they never can bo , for the reason that they are politicians for revenue only. on , n.i TRS. The rich oil fields of Wyoming have been awaiting transportation facilities , the only factor lacking to make possible ono of the great Industrie ? of that state. There are men in Omaha who have known for years that the oil product of Wyoming will in time supply the de mands of the northwest. But the item of transportation has been so great that Wyoming oil could not compete with the Pennsylvania product. The rail roads have , however , touched the oil fields of our neighboring stnto , which has the past year given impetus to the oil Industry. The Pennsylvania Oil com- dany has recently invested $00,000 in its wells and is mure than satisfied with results , so far as product is con cerned. The company Is prepared now to ship COO barrels of lubricating oil per month , and to sink n dozen more wells during the summer. Samples of this oil have been sent cast and the demand is more than equal to the supply. Butithc railroads have tnit in force a tariff that is prohibitive. It is out of all proportion to the tariffs on wool nnd live stock which are the chief products of Wyoming. For instance , the carload rate on cattle from Casper to Chicago Is $110 while on oil it Is 8387. Yet the rate on a carload of wool from Casper to Now York , nearly twice the distance to Chicago , is but $220.50. The railroad managers have been made aware of the fact that at least 000 barrels of oil per month would bo shipped from Casper if the rate were reasonable and that the output can bo doubled within six months. The managers know that this industry would bo pushed to mammoth proportions if the railroads would show any disposition to foster it. The outrageous tariff they have put upon oil is stilling an industry which might be made to bring fabulous wealth to Wyoming. It is fair to assume - sumo that the railroad managers know all this much bettor than does THE BEE or the people of Wyoming. Bailroads are built for the business of shipping freight , and under ordinary conditions they want all they can got. But the con ditions which surround the oil industry of Wyoming are not ordinary. When THE BEE recently declared that the oil fields of that state would bo opened when the Standard Oil company got ready to permit it , and not before , It d Id not hit wide of the mark. It is a crying shame that the baneful inlluonco of a great oil octopus can reach out into the wilds of Wyoming and crush any promising industry. It is a' ' com mercial crime for railroad managers to put a prohibitive tariff upon any com modity , especially when a fair rate would moan the upbuilding of a state and prosperity to the people. Omaha , as a commercial metropolis , IE vitally interested in this matter. The oil fields of Wyoming are in territory naturally tributary to this city. With their development Omaha must become the depot and the headquarters of the vast product. Our business men should join with the oil men of Wyoming it demanding a reduction in the tariff or native oil. TUB OHIO ttA.MP.tlQN. It is already apparent that the Ohl < campaign this year will command gen oral. interest. The prospects of the parties in that state are being discussed with a moro than ordinary manifostatiot of interest for an off year , and the pos' siblo effect of the success of ono or the other on the future of the parties in the country is receiving consideration. The Bourco of this interest is of course ir the republican candidate , who is rO' gardcd , perhaps to a greater oxton than any other man In the country , ai representing the republican side of the principal issue between the two groal parties , and in this relation a : a possible candidate of hi : party In the next presidential election It is generally conceded that if Govornoi McKinley is ro-olootod next Novoraboi ho will bo likely to occupy u very con spiouous place among these whosi names the next republican national con vontioa will bo called upon to consider while the endorsement of the policy In roprcbonts which his ro-eloetion wouli imply would probably serve as a stlmu lus to the party generally. It is plali that it will bo impossible to keep tin tariff question out of the campaign , ant the result of the election will bo eon strued as an expression of the people o Ohio upon this IBS no. If McKinley i beaten it will make a more or less docldoi impression upon the country unfavorabli to tlio policy ho represents. His succor would strengthen the advocates of prc tootlon and might exert a eonsidorabl influence upon the course of congress am the administration with reference to th revision of the tariff. With any otho man than McKinley heading the republican lican ticket the election would have u special Intoro3t. Ho gives it command ing importance and significance. It would scorn that the democrats an likely to bo a good deal perplexed In th matter of selecting a standard boaroi There are candidates enough , but no on of them quite moots the requirements o the situation.

There nrd at least half a dozen other asptratils , none of whom are wholly available. The democrats do not propose to hnvo a long campaign. They will hold tholr convention in August and probably will not bogln tholr campaign before September. It la possible that the earlier organization of the republicans may give them some ad vantage , but the democrats will have ample time In two months to do their lighting. NOTWITHSTANDING that most of the arable land in possession of the govern ment open to clH7.cn occupation has al ready been taken up there yet remain nearly a billion acres which have not been disposed of.

Those are the figures alTordcd by the Drofcr.s' Journal in a late editorial. Certain portions of this largo area are well suited for settlement , a good portion tion of It is rocliilmablo either by Irriga tion or drainage , while other portions of it nro inaccessible mountain regions. A largo portion of this Is that yet unsur- voyed in the Arctic cold region of Alaska. Of these publlo lands , exclusive of the military and Indian reservations that may bo within their borders , Montana alone has 74,533,143 , , acres , Now Mexico and Arizona 54,720,853 and 04,003.531 acres , respectively , and California has over 50,000,000. Colorado has nearly 42,000,000 , , and Nevada something ever that number. Wyoming has moro pub lic lands than California , North Dakota has about 21,000,000 nnd Nebraska 10- 799,332 acres unreclaimed. South Da kota has 5,000,000 acres , and Utah and Idaho vacant space ranging from 34,000- 000 to 38,000,000 , acres. Minnesota , Oklahoma and Arkansas have at least 5,000,000 each , Florida nearly 3,000,000 , and Louisiana over 1,000,000. , With the exception of Oregon , which has not so largo an unoccupied area as California none of the other states has approxi mately similar vast areivs. But most of them have moro or leas unoccupied ter ritory.

JJ/1'AMCVl.UCA X Norfolk Journal : The Journal ! s pleased to note that a good many republican news papers in this part of the state nro not ready to condone the Inx bustnes methods of the ox-iinpearhcd state ofllelals. The republi can party must condemn and punish the wrong-doors within its ranks If It oxpccts to regain its once strong hold on popular favor. Whitewash won't do it.

Oscoola Record. Schuylor Quill : The decision Is a dis grace to the state nnd virtually opens the doors in all state institutions for tlio grossest ol frauds. It passes lightly over neglect of duty , which allowed the state to bo robbed of thousands of dollars , and virtually says to the ofllcials that they may go and do like wise and they are safe from impeachment. The decision loaves the state at the mercy of its officials , and if thefts are made thcro is no way of punishing the ones in charge if they plead the "good intention" net. York Democrat : The tlmo will como when the opinion of Judge Maxwell will bo looked upon ns a sound law. The majority opinion of the court written by Judge Post Is a ver dict of guilty itself. No ono can road it over carefully and say that it vindicates the respondents , but on the other hand finds them as guilty on many points as Judge Maxwell , but technically finds good reasons to ncquit them. It Is as prottv u casa of "Yes , boys , you did it , but we will lot you off this tlmo ; don't do so any moro , please. " In the name of common sense and common decency , how grave a case do you want ? It was the business of these mon to guard the taxpayers , and yet they stood by and saw the people robbed , aud it is more than Hkoly that , directly or indirectly , they themselves poclcotcd some of the plunder. Suppose these mon had boon in the private employ of the editor of the Record and they had served his Interests no bettor than they have served the interests ol the state , ho would have "impeached" them in , a very peremptory manner ; There appears to bo n disposition on the part of some of our republican ixipors to palliate and excuse and even directly defend the la to accused state officials just because they are republicans. For our part that fuel only makes us feel the moro bitter against them. They had our confidence and support ; they reciprocate by plundering the people and in juring and disgracing the pat ty which gave thorn their olllcos. They should have been ignomiuiously fired out , every ono of them. Groely Citizen : Norval and Post acquitted the accused while Chief Justice Maxwell dccidos that every charge In the specifications has boon proven and the respondents are guilty as therein charged , This will not bo a surpnso to many. The judgment of that venerable Jurist.
