According to Washington correspond
ents who have been looking Into the
facts disclosed by the Income tax returns -
turns , some of which tire certainly very
Inlercflflnp , the west hns done very
much better than Hie cast , relatively , In
the matter of returns of Income. U was
assumed tlmt the east would have to
pay fully three-fourths of the tax , but
as now Indicated tlmt section will not
contribute much more than one-fourth.
It Is uald that New York will not pay
25 per cent of the Income tax uule. s the
forced collections ( mould greatly change
the ratio shown by the voluntary assess
ments now in , and that with the HgurcR
now In hand the returns of New Yoik
and New Unglnnd together do not far
overreach the 25 per cent mark. On
the other hand it is stated that In
nearly every Instance the western states
have overreached the estimate which
ha commH'ttoncr of internal revenue
lac-ed upon them. Western cities like
t. Louis and Chicago make splendid
of prosperity , nnd slates like
owa , Illinois , Missouri , Texas nnd ( . 'all-
irnla bring up the returns from the
est amazingly. What Is known as the
d Mjnlh'ii'akCH the mist pitiful icturns.
'roni Maryland to Louisiana the work
f the Income tax collector will be very
ght.
The betler relative showing made by
he west is not to be taken , perhaps , so
inch as evidence of greater prosperity
s of the fact that the people of thlh
ection liable to the tax have more gen-
rally made their returns. There Is no
uestlou thai a very great number of
astern people liable to < hc tax have
nailu no returns , hoping for judicial
cclslons that would let them out , while
hero Is reason to believe that campara-
Ively few western people have failed
o comply with the law. It is therefore
robable that when the eastern delin
quents are forced to make a showing
lie result will be to greatly change the
atlo. Tito fact as it .stands , however ,
very creditable to the west , since it
itttestM at once the honesty of thu west-
rn people and their willingness to com-
ily with thu law , however obnoxious it
nay be in principle.

All authorities concur In reporting a
jrlghlonlug outlook for full trade. The
ground for wuh ; prediction seems to be
; oed in view of conditions known to
xist throughout Omaha's tributary ter-
I'itory. I'or six months past the great
najority of producers have had little
) nothing with which to buy merchan
dise. Their purchases of country mer-
hants have been confined to such arti
cles as sheer necessity forced them to
buy. I'eopio In the drouth stricken
Bounties have for months bought notli-
ng nt country stores. Indeed , they
tavo been driven to the extremity of
mrtakiiig of the state's bounty and
> f donations .shipped into the state In
mmeiisu quantities. This outside aid
ias of. course been of no benefit to
country merchants except Insofar as It
nduced settlers to remain on their
'arms , soon to become patrons of the
country stores. Under such conditions
he country dealer could do nothing but
wait. If he put chased goods of our
> vholesalu and Jobbing houses , it was in

lie hail no money. His customers had
to money. Their crops having failed ,
. < very resource had been exhausted.
Tlie great body of country dealers In
ho region for which Omaha Is the dls-
rlbutlng point are buying from hand to
noutli. Their stocks of merchandise
ire uniformly depleted and with the
old-time active demand would not last
11 week. As the season advances and
: he crop prospect brightens the country
nerclmut sees that his customers will
soon be able to pay for the goods they
my. With the safe assurance of
itbundant crops the jobber extends cred-
Is to the country dealer nnd thus we
see the cause of the commencing revival
of trade.
At no time In ten years has the vol
ume of merchandise been at so low a
point as It Is today. Let the people
> f this state buy no more than what
they need this fall and their trade
must even then reach enormous pro
portions. There are two reasons for
this. One Is the strong tendency to
advanced prices of live stock and grain.
It is the consensus of opinion tlmt the
farmers of the west will receive higher
prices for their products this year than
they have received for several years
past AYlth this exceptional buoyancy
of the market , the unprecedented de
pletion of. merchandise stocks and the
Improved crop prospects , there can be
no question that the coming harvest will
find a complete restoration of business
prosperity throughout the west.
SUFMUUIST * Iff A'BIP I'OHK
The recent vote of the New York state
legislature favorable to a proposition
for the submission of a woman suffrage
amendment to the constitution of tlmt
state , while unquestionably n victory
for the advocates of woman suffrage , Is
by no means of such Importance as at
llrst glance It appears. The woman suf
fragists in New York are nothing If no
persistent. They conducted a novc
campaign before the convention con
vened to revise the constitution la *
summer and momentarily raised the
Issue to the plane of n society fad. IJu
thu members of the convention decllnei
to be swayed by the breexe , and like
other fads It quickly wore Itself out.
Women proverbially refuse to take no
for an answer , nnd IIP tills respect the
woman suffragists of the Empire state
are no exception to the rule. They
seem to have been encouraged by the
attitude of a great many newspapers
ami Influential men , who assured then
that so soon ns women manlfestei
fhelr desire for the ballot it would bt
freely accorded. So the agitators lin
mediately turned their efforts townn
convincing the legislature that the Nevt
York women are almost a unit In favo
of woman suffrage and that they are
entitled nt least to have the questloi
submitted to the voters at the earlles
possible moment In this they were no
without opposition from among thel
own sex. At the hearings granted b.\
the legislative committees both sides
were represented by prominent women
who made nrgtunents pro nnd con , niu
It was easily apparent tlmt they them
selves are hopelessly divided.
The favorable consideration given the
jMarsnauwvrn ; n. u. nuunuo , runsucipniB.
proposition In both houses of the leg
islature was , however , doubtless Influ
enced by the very fact that makes the
vote of this legislature of relatively lit
tle ImiMirtniKv. It Is that before the
actual submission takes place the it-so
lution must be ngaln agreed to by a
new legMnlure. In other words , be
fore the constitution of New York can
be amended the amendment must re
ceive the approval of two successive leg
islatures with entirely new member
ship , and after that the approval of the
people pypfosycd by their votes at
thu polls. Candidates for the next sen
ate and assembly will be elected with
an understanding of their position on
thu question of woman suffrage , so tlmt
the vote in the next legislature will be
more representative that that in the
present one. The woman suffragists of
New York will have their real fight In
the legislature to be elected the coming
fall , and If they win It , their tug of war
before the people one year later.
A SOUIlinrtN CAND1DATK.
The democratic parly Is confessedly
poor In available presidential material.
The list of men who may be regarded as
having any claim to thu nomination for
the presidency , or any chance of being
made the candidate of the party next
year , Is small , \\hilo titere are serious
objections to every one of them which
would bo found a. heavy handicap In
he campaign. The one who seems to
o strongest In favor at present Is AIce
'resident Stevenson , but everybody
eall7.cs that lie lias little real nvalla-
illity. He lias not shown nny qualities
if leadership and nobody suspects him
if possessing statesmanship or of being
inythtng more than nn average pollti-
ilati , and yet Stevenson Is at least tile
> eer of Morrison , Matthews , Holes nnd
omo others who have been mentioned
is possibilities in 1S9G. Unquestionably
J > avld U. Hill is an abler man than any
jf the.se and comes nearer to being a
statesman , but he will have no "better
chance of securing tlte nomination for
( resident next year than he did In 1802 ,
f so good. The democrats will not
lomiuate an eastern man in 1SIMJ. That
nay be set down as absolutely assured.
\"o New York or Massachusetts or L'cnn
lylvnnla man will have any show in
he democratic national convention of
icxt year. The south nnd the west
vlli be united against any man the cast
nay present
The west having no sttong man , of un-
loubted availability , the suggestion has
icen made that It Is time to draw upon
he soulh for a presidential candidate
nnd It lias been favorably regarded by
some prominent democrats. Senator
: iill can see 110 reason why sectional
feeling should any longer interfere with
he selection of a southern man for the
iresidency if ho be otherwise accept-
iblo and has declared himself for "a
i-ce Held , a fair contest , and may the
lest man win. " Another man conspicu
ous in the councils of democracy , Post
.mister . General AVilson , thinks there is
10 good reason why the parly should
lot select a southern man as its presl
dentlal candidate. He discussed the
suggestion at a recent banquet in Itich-
.nond , A'a. . and It Is hardly necessary to
say that his view was enthusiastically
eceived. The south certainly has the
lest democratic presidential material.
J'lie ablest men in the party belong to
ts southern wing , as lias been nearly
ilways the case , and they dominate and
control , to a very great extent , the n
ey of the party. Men like Carlisle and
Gorman and Morgan have no peers in
the qualifications of leadership ainon ; .
lemoernts of other sections of the conn
ry , with the possible exception of
David B. Hill. It must be regarded as
luite natural , therefore , tlmt southern
democrats should feel that It is time
they were given tin opportunity to
achieve for some of their number the
[ Ugliest place In the gift of the Amer
ican people.
AVhcther any serious effort will be
made to bring forward a southern can
didate Is , however , to be doubted , fet
when the question of availability is con
sidered from the point of view of prac
tical politics , there is no southern man
who can stand the necessary test ,
Everybody will admit that no man who

Of the few who arc not no one of their
could command the full support of the

ivs If the democratic party will be compelled
polled to take Its next candidate fet
the presidency from the west , but 1

lion he shall come , for the next presl
dent of the United States will be a re

as the sliver dollar would be under free
coinage. Take away IU interconvertlblllty
and It would be worth only the value of
the silver bullion contained in It , which Just
now ts In the neighborhood of 50 cents.
Chicago Inter Ocean : The International
conference , which now seems virtually as
sured , may absolutely solve the problem.
Nobody can tell. Senator Allison seems to
have high hopes of it , and , as he was a
member of the previous international con
ference , his Judgment of the matter should
b ? good. He predicted not only the confer
ence , but that an International agreement is
surely coming. That was his final word.
The president has made no public statement
on the subject as far as we know , but Sena
tor Cullom said In a rec nt interview that
Mr. Cleveland told him that he should ap
point commissioners as soon as the formal
call was Issued. It is not a little gratifying
to know that so able a financier aq Senator
Allison looks for an actual agreement. But
If none Is reached by the time the republican
party holds Its next national convention
there will then be a strong demand that bi
metallism by national legislation be made a
conspicuous feature of the platform of 18DG.

Globe-Democrat : Ninety years ago a
British army of 0.000 soldiers and sailors
undertook to occupy the city of Buenos
Ayres during a revolution , but the people
united against them , destroying or capturing
nearly half the force. That was Monroe
doctrine before Monroe expressed It In states
manlike words.
Kansas City Star : London papers are
now engaged in trying to discredit the Mon
roe doctrine. If old John Bull goes too far
In dealing with Uncle Sam's little sisters he
will one of these days discover that that
same Monroe doctrine will trip up his over
weening ambition. And there will be no
display of "jingoism" cither.
Now York Post : Having browbeaten nm ,
bullied the American government into abject
surrender at all points , England Is now at
tacking the American press. This she wll.
find a tougher job. She puts forward for
the flrst shot a Tory newspaper to accuse
American Journalists of a "wonderful Igno
ranee of diplomacy. " That charge we hur
back Indignantly.
The American news
paper displays more diplomacy to tlie square
Inch than English Journalism docs to the
quare acre.
Chicago Times-Herald : Nor Is It to be as-
iiured that Kimberley Is bullying merely for
tlie sake of bullying much less for the pal
try sum of money Involved less still for the
honor of the British nation , of which the
noble carl and his party have been bul
Indifferent guardians. Back of this bluster ,
beyond a doubt , lurks n sinister Intent , Is
It a veiled challenge to the government of
the United States to stand forth now and
defend the Monroe doctrine or forever after
hold Its peace ? If there be such a chal
lengo It cannot be accepted too quickly , We
do not deal re war , and there Is no prospec
of war. Great Britain will not , dare not
fight the United States ; It has made a bluff
and. In terms which all Americans and most
Britons understand , will "lay down" as soon
as 11 Is "called. "
