The appointment of Deaver to the
O’Neill land office causes popocratic
boosters a deal of worry.
-- - --
Possibly enough whole timber
can be resurrected from the Chicago
and Kansas City platforms to make
a good stout coffin for the democratic
jackass.
-. -
Politics and religion aretho father
and mother of prejudice. The man
or woman who is not prejudiced
from one or the other cbuso is a
curiosity.
The American peach crop is said
to be the largost in many years, 25, -
000,000 bushels being grown this
year. This does not prevent the
dealer from holding up his customer
at 30 cents a dozen.
Polk county republicans, so far as
we observed, were the only ones to
denounce the Bartley parole in their
convention. Perhaps Polk county
republicans only gave expression to
what Nebraska republicans in gen
eral feel.
-«»►-.
A committee of twelve workmen
from England are visiting tho east
ern states studying the methods of
American workmen. Natural re
sources combined with American
skill is fast bringing tho old world
to the feet of tho young republic it
one* disdaiued.
The United States has 184,532
miles of railroad; Germany, 29,987
miles; Russia, 28,357; Franco, 25,
802; Great Britain, 23,534. The
United States carries 912,973,853
tons of freight annually; Great
Britain, 437,043,205, Germany,
275,020,000; France, 120,487,000;
Russia, 97,140,000. This is a fair
barometer of the commercial activity
of the five leading nations, and
Americans can^look with a degree of
commendable pride upon the figures
that place their country in the lend
with a greater commerce than all
Europe.
There is no demand for a ono-cent,
letter postage. Postage is cheap
enough, but tkoro is a demand for
the reforms in the postal laws that
will more equally distribute salaries
tothenow underpaid and overworked
employed of the vast system, which
is the greatest business concern on
earth. There is need of requiring a
great deal of printed matter, which
now passes throug the mails as
second class, to pay third class rates,
or even more. There are scores of
publications now using the mails
that have no regular legitimate sub
scription circulation, but subsist up
on fakes that advertise in them;
and literature is peddled through
sub-agencies and newspapers loan
ing lists to quack and fukes who
pay a small sum for their use. It
is time the mails were purged of the
tons of stuff that pay about one
fourth what they should pay.

World-Herald: As autumn ap
proaches trade in Omaha’s wholesale
distriot increases, and if the busi
ness of the week that has just closed
oan be taken as an index of what is
to follow there is no doubt but
what this season will be a record
breaker and that more goods will
have been sold by the first of the
new year than during any previous
year in the history of Omaha’s
wholesale interests.
That’s good. Headers of the
World-Herald will be pleased to
learn that Omaha wholesalers are
outstrippings themselves, the predic
tions of distress and calamity made
by the World Herald in times of
political excitement to the contrary
notwithstanding. The activity in
Omaha wholesale circles indicates,
too, that the country merchants are
doing a business corresponding in
proportions, and that, too, the peo
ple in general have money with
which to buy.
Ibflionrl Governor* Arc Contented.
It la a curious fact that although
Missouri elected its first governor

pied an important position in national
affairs, not one of its governors has
ever been conspicuous in national poli
