considering our unequalled resources,
wo ought to enter upon it prosperous

ahead to ciuibo another setback of lut
portnnco for many years to come.
Business men can safely commence to
vonturo operations on an extended
Bcnlo, bnsod on good judgement, with
out npprohonnion of being overtaken by
iltBiiBter. Tlio only way, therefore, If for
ovorybody to put hit hands to tho rope
and give a long pull, a Htrong pH. "d
pull altogether, and good times will re
milt. While tho general situation doeH
not Bhow any pronounced change as
yot, thcro is, nevertheless, a relaxation
of tho sovoro tcnBlon under which buni
ncBH men have been laboring, and iib wiJ
got farthor from tho ciiubo of our recent
depression, tho wheels of business will
finally settlo into their normal rutfi, and
confidence will usurp tho place of
timidity and gather force legitimately.
Tho commercial iilTuirH of tho country
are sound. It ifl dilllcult to shako off
tho Bpell of depression, but wo shall
soon reason with clearer judgement, and
this will bo followed by mora sensible
action. Tho security markets continue
to bo easily influenced, but a stronger
class of buyors should now appear on
ovory decline. Prices aro now likely to
bo governed by the financial condition
of tho individual properties rather than
by those broader factors which, at
times, act as lovers upon tho whole
world's commercial and linnuciul
machinery.

Tho cold weather of tho past week or

somo lines, has been nn appreciable
stimulus to a numbor of branches, and
ua a result of this and other causes, there

business transacted; in boiuo instances
tho improvement is very markctl? Tho'

aro livelier than they have boon since

Bhould bo; but thoro is a gradual im
provement that is generally encouraging.
Peoplo aro probably harder tip today
than at any time sinco tho commence,

has been n constant strain for months
in tho direction of liquidation. Strouu
ous efforts huvo been made to discharge
obligations, and wipo out small debts,
and cltizons of Lincoln aro freer from
debt now than they havo boon for years.
Practically no money has been made
during this time, and the result Is that
while peoplo aro generally quite freo from
debt, thoy aro hnrd-up. This is not by
any moans a discouraging sign. When
business ouco opens up again, as it is
suro to do in tho near future, those who

to economize and sail close to shore.

CouttiKit representative tho other day.
"A dollar In our linn will go a good deal
further now than It would a year ago.
Every store In this city is selling goods
at a low figure."
Tho various educational institutions
aro feeling tho effect of tho general
depression, though not in such a
marked degree as might bo Biipposed.
At the state university tho attendance
does not vary materially from that of
last year. There is a slight decrease at
tho normal colleges and denominational
schools, but at the latter, particularly
there aro constant additions, and it is
expected that with tho beginning of tho
January terms there will quite as many
students enrolled as last your. There are
altogether about .'1,(KX) students in this
city from abroad, each one of whom
must necessarily spend from $.'1.50 to !?5
jicr week.

Will there tie any holiday trade? is a
question frequently asked. Thoro will
most unquestionably bo a considerable
amount of extra buying on account of
tho holidays, but of course tho volume
of business will not bo nearly so largo as

December business with a good deal of
confidence, and fully expect rushing
business before December Is far ad

in tho matter of purchases, and there
will bo no big stocks left over.

Tho recent exit from this city of .llm
Hood, tho whilom proprietor of Hood's
saloon, well, if not favorably known to
most citizens of Liucom', recalls the fact
that C. W. Moshor, ultimo business in
torests extended in many peoulhrdlrec

Moshor had an interest In Hood's for
somo time, and unllko the banker in
Frank Stockton's novel who owned a
restaurant, ho was not particularly
anxious to conceal tho fact.
Tho new morning newspaper in Omaha
Is still in embryo. Members of tho re
publican state central committee and
others who tiro interested in the project
havo hold numerous Informal confer
ences, but nothing definite has been
done as yot. About twenty members of
tho central committeo were in tho city
this week in attendance upon the jublleo
meeting Monday night, and tlio subject
was discussed nt some length prior to
their departure. Some quiet canvassing
is now being done in different parts of
tho state with a view to ascortaing what
sort ot encouragement there Is for a
now republican paper. Thoro will bo
no further attempt to get matters Into
shape until after Thanksgiving. If
thoro is anything in the scheme it will
develop shortly after tho first of tho
month.
Leading republicans whoaro agitating
the establishment of a now paper in
Omaha, havo como to tho conclusion
that tho most feasible plan is to secure
a guarantee ot a certain number ot sub
scriptions in advance, and then consider
propositions that may bo made by iiowb
paper men. Ono enthusiastic member
of tho committee thinks that it will bo
an easy matter to secure 5,000 or 0,000
subscribers to tho newspaper, and got
tho money in advance.

year or so; but it will probably not
make lip Kh mind short of a decade.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
1th Itt'Hotm't'H mill I'mHUIr Open In tlio

Tho university extends a cordial in
vitation to all citizens of Nebraska who
desire to pursue a general course of
reading or to conduct special investiga
tions, to connect, themselves with th
university or to correspond with tho
members of tho faculty who aro in
charge of such studies. Suggestions as
to authorities, arrangements of topics,
prices of books, etc., will bo gladly
given. Those who may bo ablo to
pursue such special work at tho univer
sity will have tho advantage of lectures,
libraries and laboratories.
All who aro seeking spocial informa
tion or self-culturo, and tho highest
lines of citi.on life and influence, ought
to reel that by tho generosity or tho
state, advice and information are freely
placed at their command.
Supervision by correspondence will bo
cheerfully given to the work of reading
1 circles and similarasBoclationsforstudy;
and an occasional visit from somo mem
ber of tho faculty, when desired by
such associations, can bo secured on ap
plication. Tho university is especially desirous
of ontering into correspondence with
those who aro willing to do something
in tho way of collecting tho facts of
local history. Thoro is hardly an
event so minute or an individual so un
important tiR not to bo worthy of recog-
nition In this connection. Wo desire to
havo at tho state university a complete
record of doings of Nebraska men and
women in connection with tho founding
tho disposition of last season's crop is hind upbuilding of this commonwealth.
That there should bo ono or more fail
ures in Lincoln at this time is not at all
surprising. Indeed it has often been re
marked that it is strange that thoro
Bhould havo been so fow suspensions.
Tho coucorns that havo failed havo boon
houses that havo not been in good con
dition for boiuo timo past, and their
collapBO is not nltogother duo to tho
prcsont hard times. With business on
tho up grade, as it now is, it is not
thought that their will bo much more
serious trouble of this kind.
Tho fact that tho banks in Now York
and Chicago aro piling up thoir resorvos
to ulmost appalling llgures is taken by
many as an indication that business will
continue to bo dull; of course, it tho
money of tho country is permanently
hoarded in ono or two cities, tho effect
will 1)0 most depressing; but it is not
thought that tho policy will bo long per
sisted in. Up to this timo only a.small
portion of tho crop ot tho country has
boon moved; but it is beginning to move
now, and this is scattering tho money.
In Nebraska particularly, tho effect or
A trio ot newspaper men in this
city were discussing tho subject of tho
future of Nebraska newspapers tho other
day, and ono of them, a man of experi
ence and observation, said: "I think
that tho morning papers of Omaha and
Lincoln, considered as general news
papers, havo reached thoir piimo. You
know and every newspaper, man knows
to what extent the Chicago papers aro
cutting into the lice and World-Herald
in Omaha and thu State Journal in this'
city. Tho fact that tho Chicago' papers
which in my opinion aro the best In tho
country, can bo delivered in Omaha and
Lincoln at suppor timo or a lit t lu later,
bus given them an immense sale that
has boon appreciably felt by the big
dailies in this state. Tho Nebraskan
nowadays who wants to keep ubreasl ot
tho times, and who has sulllcient loisuro
to keep himself well posted on tho news
ot tho world, is not content to depend
upon tho Journal or eithor of tho
Omaha papers; ho takes ono of these
papers for his local news, and buys one
or more Chicago papers for his general
information. Hearing thobo things In
mind I am positive that tho time will
come whon tho big daily papers in
Omaha and Lincoln will bo Issued as
supplements to the Chicago papers, and
that it will not bu a great many years
before this will como to pass, either."
"Tho Ike and World-Herald and Jour
mi or their succesBorsin tho newspaper
field will contain nn general telegraphic
news at all; they will limit themselves to
news happenings in their own town and
tho state or In.modinto vicinity. Elec
tricity will in a few yea's have made
such heudvny that tho time between
Chicago and Omaha will bo reduced to
at least five hours, ami possibly to con
siderably less. Tho Chicago paporsor
rather tho outside edition, will leave tho
Windy City at two or threo o'clock in
tlio morning, and got to Nebraska to be
folded with our own dally pipers and
delivered in ample time for the break
fast table."
ood story is going tlio rounds
against tho members of tho legal pro
fession. A man rambling among tho
tombs in a certain city was struck with
tho lnM:rlption,"A lawyer and an honest
man." IIo was lost in thought, and

Lincoln juries have made peoplo dis-
gustcdjwith tho jury system. They aro
gomvnlly composed, for tho major part
of tho riff-raff and bob-tall ot tho city's

tho fault of tho better class of citizens,

General Thayer Is an intensely patrlo
tic man, and ho Is tilled with republi
can sentiment. Americanism has In
him a most fervent disciple. Tho
Hawaii incident naturally arouses his
indignation to a high pitch. Tho ex
governor Is at all times plain spoken and
tho objects of his wrath and Indignation
hero In Nebraska have often iccoiled
under his scathing rebukes. In
speaking of the course of Cleveland and
his cabinet, in reference to the do
throned queen of Hawaii ho found it no
easy matter to find words strong
enough to express his disgust and in
dignation. "Of course," ho said, "President
Cleveland is tho rcsiiouBlhln party in
tho miserable attempt to overthrow a
republican form of government in
Hawaii and re-instate tho dethroned
queen, Lllluokalanl, and I am scarcely
ablo to find terms that will adequately
voice my feelings In tho matter. Tho
courso of tho administration is un
American, tin-patriotic, uu-republlcau; it
Is subversive of the constitution of tho
United States, and contrary to tho ten
dency of American sentiment. Tho
ministers and navies of this country are
bound by ovory tradition and prece
dent to foster, sustain, strengthen and
develop American influences wherever
they may bo found, and especially to
encourage the growth of republican
sentiment in tho countries of tho new
world. Tho power of this country
must instinctively bo arrayed on tho
side of those who aro peeking to obtain
freedom by overthiowing a hateful
monarchy, when this government takes
any action at all. Wo aro bound to tho
policy of a republican form of govern.
incut, and every president ot this
country, ovory minister, every ofllcor
charged with authority, is held by
history and the American idea to a
policy directly contrary to that now
advocated by Mr. Cleveland and his
cabinet, and which may result in blood
shed, in which event it would not bo
surprising if there wore a popular out
break in this country."
"There can bo no doubt but that tho
courso pursued by Mr. Cleveland was
actuated, to a very considerable extent,
by a desire to disciedit the policy of tho
Harrison administration, and I am in
clined to place a very largo sharo of tho
blame on this traitor, Gresham, whom 1
regard with unspeakable contempt and
avoislon."
"Gresham, after his appointment to
the federal judgeship in Indiana, con
tinued to hold ollleo under republican
government until ho went into Clove
laud's cabinet. Ho turned his back on
tho republican party and became a
democrat because ho was uiiabln to
secure tho Indiana delegation to the
national convention, and ho has never
forgiven Harrison for defeating him.
The Hawaii affair was to him an oppor
tunity to stab Harrison, and to this end
lie has violated tho constitution,
trampled American sentiment under
toot, and stamped hlmseir an infamous
traitor. His letter is a weak, exparto
statement or trumped up evidence, un
dignllled and unstatesmaulike, and
Blount's report Is of the samo tenor.
There is no scintilla of right or justice
in tho position which Greshitin and the
president have taken. Tho only animus
is to detract from tho credit won by
President Harrison. It has proven to
be n tremendous Itoomerang. I regard
Cleveland's course in tho Hawaii matter
not only as an offense that ought to securo
his impeachment, but as a monumental
political blunder. Between tho growing
protection sentiment and tho indigna
tion of tho peoplo over the administra
tion's slap at tho principle of ropubli
canlsm and espousal of tho cause of a
wretched monarchical system, Mr.
Cleveland ami tho democratic party aro

committed an offense that would not bo
