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.

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.

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.

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

There are candidates enough , but no on

fact of his being a single tax and free

a dozen other asptratils , none of whom

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

NOTWITHSTANDING that most of the
arable land in possession of the govern

nearly a billion acres which have not

No ono In this vicinity can contemplate * the
report of what Is going on at CrauipV ship
yard without a thrill of pride over the fact
that , the Clyde no longer has n monopoly of
this business. The company now holds con
tracts with the government for seven now
battleships nnd cruisers. For these they
will bo paid the very largo sum of $ .JO.r 2J.OlX )
as rapidly as the vessels are completed. For
private corporations they are also building
llvo transatlantic liners i nd a number of
yachts nnd similar craft. This means ,
primarily , the employment of 4,039 hands at
the yards , each of whom Is paid American
wages ; out , aside from thU , the marvelous
growth of tlio company's business possesses
an oven deeper moaning. Free traders of
\Vnttorson-Huiil school , representing , as
they do , the franker element on that slid ) of
the house , frankly admit the fostering In
fluence of the system which they want ro-
movod. Their argument Is that it is no
longer required. But they , in common with
the advocates of protection , know that
without protection the Clyde would still bo
the greatest shipbuilding center , nnd would
possibly hnvo mndo every ono of the vessels

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.
Silver Crock Times : The Uecord has not
thought slnco the ovidcnco was submitted
that a case , gr.ive enough for Impeachment ,
was made , and neither do wo bollovo that
the legislature would nave brought the suit
had n fair and imuartlul examination been
made and both sides heard bofoio thocom-
inlttco instead of the "star chamber" work
which was done. 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. Maxwell ,
who has boon on iho supreme bench for
twenty years and whoso construction of the
law has always boon regarded as correct ,
will bo taken by the great masses of the
people ns the only verdict founded on the
law and ovidcnco of the case which should
have been given , liut the action of the
majority of the couit could not bo expected
to bo otherwise to these who know the
manner of their election. When asucccssoi
was to bo nominated for Judge Hueso'i
place , Grccloy county oloatod n Reese dole
gallon with D. U. Hall Rooso'a old friend
and neighbor at the head. A few houra
after the delegation had been selected the
B. & M. attorney at this place received a
telegram from the general attorney !
at Lincoln to got a Norval delegation , li
was too late , but the B , & M. attorney nl
this place silently secured the proxies ol
every delegate to that convention except
that of Mr. Hall and cast them for Judge
Norval. When a man is nominated and
elected by such methods and influence U i :
not 8truii < o that ho should yield to the In
ftucnco which created him nnd cast his vote
with that other railroad judgePost. . Bui
the people will entertain the highest dcgroc
of respect and admiration for that enrol
lawyer. Maxwell , whose dissenting opinioi
in the Boyd-Tliayor case was made the ma
jority opinion by the supreme court of thi
United Status and whoso law writings liavi
found a place in almost every law olllco ir
the United States. Lot the people rowan

Bet you a now hat , Mr. Chronicle , that
neither llio republicans nor the independents
rciioinhiato him ; thu latter because they
have candidates of their oun , and the
former baoauso ho is itoo honest. Hts two
famous dissenting opinions will bo an eternal
bar to his further preferment by tlio repub

What about the successor to Judge Maxwell
who will take his place ? Will hobo ronoml-
natod and re-elected by the republicans ? Ho
is nn honest ana capable old gontlomnn

who believes thoroughly In No. 1 nnd takes

Fourth district , nnd Broady has boon men
tioned. The independents are liknly to cither
go to Beatrice or como to Hastings for their
candidate. If they should ace lit to nomi
nate John M. Uigim they would do some
thing of which they would feel proud and
have the satisfaction that no abler man was

port in every trying ordoal. and ono who
would command the respect of the people of
