The republicans of the First ward ar

Mr. Salisbury has been an effici nt mem

Fred Oorder is being pulled off the

Secretary Rusk, of the National Agri

the west will supply the principal part

Talking of "public spirit" among the
pctrple of a city ike Plattsmouth.
prompts us to remark that a'town, villagc
or city is always measured by the public
pirit of its citizens. Kven th flog fen
nel in th side streets, understand this.
Take a city where the mossbaeks find re
ar tionists are always sitting around ob
jecting to public improvements nnl
lituUring the stnie, and we will show
you a pi ice where real estate is worthies",
win re values are an unknown quantity
and the future a blank. Since Plat ts
mouth regulated a few of these olratrue-
ionists to the rear, and put in her gas
plant, her water plant, her sewerage, her
pavement and her eh ctric lights, everv
thing with us as a city has been prosper
ous, fit spite hard limes, the strike and all
such hinderanccs. Our city has steadily ad
vanced and doubled in population im
provements and importance. Property
is steadily enhancing in value, and every
body is doing better When the M. P.
road is constructed, manufactures will
follow, certain; and our future will be
secure; that improvement will briny
other improvements, and thus everybody
will be the ;aincr. Our neighbor dowi
the river, Nebraska City, has discovered
that "Sleepy Hollow" is a poor place to
build a cily in, and like Plattsmouth ha'
roused up. Today the people of that
energetic city are voting $ 100,000 bonds
to build a high wagon bridge across the
Missouri riyer; it is not low taxes they
are hunting for but improvements
property to pay taxes on. Nebraska City
secured the M. P. road and it quadrupb d
the value of every foot of property in
that city; they put in a pontoon bridge.
and tin ir merchants discovered it was
great benefit to trade; and now they will
build a high wagon bridge, and every
citizen of Nebraska. City will niakt
money by it. Is there any considerable
portion of the people of Plattsmonth op
posed to public improvements?

THE SPIRIT CHANGED.

Estimating the total population of
Idaho at 112,0 0, it will b- s- en that the
mormons form 1S$ per cent, of our in
habitants. Under the mastery of tuir
first tm-at It ad r. Briidoim Young, the
mormon chu'.ch was autocratic. Th
outward form was the same as now, but
an organizer was needed, and that man
if flicipline mid order was sser tially a
dcs ir. All the stories of murder under
the influence: of mornionism some of
them false, but gent rally very larpeh
tnd horribly true were of tue tim
when Brigham Young sit on the throne

c ssor, John Taylor, was a gentle oh
man, t tking pride in holding his people
in a compact body, separate from the
world and in all respects a '"peculiar peo
pie," hut without thirst for vengeance on
lu" adversaries. Occasionally outrage
linVe marked the history of mormonism
Miice the death of Brigham Young; but
I an. satisfied that they were the work of
ovci zealous underlings, and largely for
personal ends. .
The founders of the church were Amer

The grat majority of the old men who
now hold positions of power in the mor

hood, and it was nut hard to instill into
their minds the idea of polygamy
think two-lifLhs of the mormons over
titty years of age are polygamists.
Wherever you find an old muruion own

Ot the men n tween thirty and fifty

The M. P. engineers have surveyed

an ominous ami significant fact. It

BUSINESS BEGINS TO BOOM.
R. O. Dunn & Company's weekly
review of trade for last week says:
"The volume of bus ids is indisputa
bly larger than in any previous year at
thin season. The tonnage shipped east
ward by rail from Chicago continues
larger than ever, and railroad earnings
thus far reported for March exceed those
of any previous jenr.
Bank clearings at New York show a gain
over last year of 3 per cent at Bo-ton,
Philadelphia and Chicago of 12 per cent.
and at all other cities of 11 per cent.
AH tho signs prove that the actual
shrinkage of consumption is confined to
i few lines only, principally those af
fected directly by the absence of winter,
hut that in other branches consumption
is larger than at any former time. In
some cases, as in iron, the only difficulty
or danger comes from the fact that a
consumption clearly the largest ever
known is probably surpassed by a
PRODUCTION FAB BEVoND ALL RliCOUDS
Reports from every p -rt of the country
icpresent trade as fairly satisfactory,
though signs of dullness seem to increase
tt Philadelphia, where the spurt of win
ter has set back spring trade. Chicago
has, as usual, a large increase over last
year in grain and beef products and some
increase in dry goods, with good sabs ot
shoes and better collections in both
trades. St. Louis notes fairly nctivc
trade and satisfactory collections. New
Orleans reports planting much inter
rupted by floods, but the danger is abat
ing and business is fair. Cleveland,
Denver, and Omaha report improvement,
and other western cities a fairly satisfac
tory trade, though at several points col
lections are tardy; but at Pittsburg the
depression in ore and steel, due to ex
travsgant cost of materials, causes some
lisappointment.
Those who have labored so long to
eonvince themselv 28 that prices of ir n
nd its products xa st rise, in spite of the
unprecedented output, now admit that
prices are lower, and that the market is
unsettled and close on to demoralization.
The offer of south- rn iron is the obvious
cause No. 1 at $18.25 here, and gray
forge at $16.50. Lower prices by 23 to
50 cents per ton are made at Pittsburg,
wi h $1 lower for rails, $2 lower for
blooms and billets, and manufacture'1
iron weaker. Trade in breadstuffs has
been principally speculative, with ad
vances of 2 cents on wheat and $ c nt ou
corn and oats. Pork bas also advanced
half a dollar. Coffee is weaker on large
estimates of yield, and sugar is dull, with
no activity iu refining, the Spreckels
supply still underselling that of fhe
trust.
The monetary situation has changed
for the beter more distinctly 'ban au
other, the treasury having lound means
to pay out during the week $4 000,000
more than it h .a taken in. Foreign t x
change has risen $ a cent because of
scarcity of commercial bills, but exports
for three weeks from this port show an
increase of $1,700,000 over last year, or h
oer cent, while the increase in imports i
nearly $2,000,000, or 9 per cent. Th
st ck m rket is afflicted with deadly
dullness, and the average prica of stook,
-xclusive of the "industrial" lot, has d
clined about 50 cents per share. The
railroads are doing a large bnsins. but
most stocks are so held and so managed
rh-t he public is not invited to.speeuMe.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during thn last
seven days number 255. as compared
with a total of 2C0 last week. For th
corresponding week of last year the
figun s were 240,"
The government at Vashington is in
vestigating the immigration question,
after the influx from all the foreign
countries bas already landed here in
such number as to not only break dowi
wages in all departments of manual
bor, but they have gone upon the cheat
lands of the west, and by th. ir competi
tion have driven farm produce so low
that it has ceased to be remunerative.
A certain amount of immigration is a
good thing, but weluve been having t.o
much of it for the good of those w o
are already here. If the government can
call a halt on thiR matter unMl the con
sumer catches up it will do the couctr
good.
Tub "BU'r bill" has again been d -feated
and the ccuutry no doubt wib
feel relieved. It wa3 a scheme to tak
millions out of the treasury ard mk :i
national educational fund for the bvuerit
of the south at the expense of the whob
country. It was a measure placing a preni
mm on illiteracy by giving tne mos
money to those states showing the small
est degree of average intelligence.
