J, Editor filtered at the llHrriOH ptwt oftiee us m-c- oiin cium matter. Thursday, March 9, 1893. The Journal congratulates tlie tieople of Harri&n for the etitei ri.se and hos pitality sliowa toward tlie new settlers. Tlie populists of Kansas liave come down. Now ttte governor slioulil be called uion to answer for hi unlawful acts. (Jf nil the legislatures tliat ever con vened in the state of Nebraska the one of 1893 will go down into history noted for having accomplislied the least. Gov. Crounse has aKinted Frank Hilton, formerly of the Blair Pilot, to the position of state oil insiiector. Thus is one newspaper man rewarded for the work he has done in tlie past. llad you discovered th.at you had been living under a democratic administration siuce last Saturday? So far the effect is not noticeable, lot us hope it will not be during the ensuing four years. tne euuor oi me vtanoo n tup is laboring under trying difficulties. He can't figure out what will become of the summer hammock and the "safety" if the hoop skirt becomes the fashion. It is only a few day now uutil the luemliei's of the legislature will be work ing for nothing and boarding themselves. Few will have any cash to show for the sixty days' if Ci per day, and the stale will have even less to show for it tlian the members. Some of the late arrivals had visited new countries in the past and found every one standing ready to charge a good, big price for everything. The treatment accorded them on their arrival .... at Harrison contrasted strangely with that of other places and proved conclus- ively that new comers are welcome here. The necessity for a law providing for tlie election of United States senators by the people is greater, than ever before. The legislature of two states adjourned without electing a senator, thus leaving it for tlie governor to appoint one. That is not the proper thing to do, and the sooner a change is made in the law tlie better it will be. The United States senate has a work ing democratic majority. This is the first time that the entire government has been in the liands of the democrats for many- years" and the legislation of the next session will be looked forward to with a good deal of interest. The quar tette of populist in the senate : will amount to naught as tlie much-desired balance of power between the two old parties has gone glimmering. The blizzard Monday, was general all over the state, being the severest in the northern and northwestern portion of tlie state. Two feet of snow fell at Grand Ulapd. St imrrf Blade. Bro. Betzer should consult his map, and learn that Grand Isjand is not lo cated in the northwestern part of the - state. The weattier report of the day re ferred to above will also show him that while the central and eastern portion of , the state experienced a blizzard north ' , west Nebraska had a bright, pleasant day. - - j " Never has a new president assumed control of the affairs of the nation with so little partisan criticism as has President Cleveland. All people, regardless of party, look upon him as tlie chief executive of o, the nation and respect him as such. No s, president ever had a better opportunity to prove that he is for the best interests of the whole nation than has the' present incumbent. He has received all the favor his party can give him. After his . ' "tertri of office expires he ' can hope for no further recognition politically and hence he is 1li a position to do w bat he thinks 1 right, regardless of the way it pleases or , . displeases tlie democratic politicians, "from this it is safe to infer tint no act of Cleveland's will be directed against ".- the great business interests of tlie ." eomitry. - ' -' . . .

The general iwsmMixer ait'- :t '-f a great railroad company luving lines in Xebra-ka 1 lie oilier day asked this jues tion: "Have you realized tliat Nebraska is and has been gaining an average of 1,000 in population a week since becom ing a state':" The ipiestion suggests tlie literal fact. For twenty-lire years the population of Nebraska has increased at an average rate of about 1,000 a week. This is nearly 200 a day exclusive of Sunday. Of course the great mass of this prodigious rate of iiopnlation in crease is due to immigration. The statement is a concrete basis for reckon ing the grand western movement of imp utation in recent years, which has car ried such multitudes not only in Nebras ka, but also into Iowa, Kansas, the Ua kotas and the states and territories west of the Mississippi river. In the retro spect this movement, when it sliall lie complete, that is, w hen the density of population has been equalized between the new western and old eastern states according to their resources and oppor tunities, will be regarded with amaze ment. It is indeed one of the most tre mendous fact of this age. a fact whose significance is as yet far from being fully appreciated. But the equalization of mpulation is still far from complete. Tlie movement is today in full progress, and the statement above quoted, start ling as it seems, is literally descriptive of what is occurring under our eyes. For while the host of westward bound settlers has possessed itself of a consider able part of the desirable agricultural area in the west, still a vast empire re mains open. At the same lime the population in tlie east has enormously grown, so that its surplus increase may annually send fourth still greater waves of emigration to the west. The price of lid in the vest is indeed advancing, but so also is the ability of those in the east to pay more for laud enlarging. There s more wealt h. It is a matter of rela- ion. Good, wild western farm land at or $13 per acre is today actually cheaper, all things considered, than simi lar land a third of a century ago ojen to pre-emption or homestead entry. There is therefore prospect for the continuance for a good many years of the wonderful westward moving emigration which has caused in tlie west a nation to lie born almost in a day. Congrrssinsn Kciu. Lincoln ( all. For the last four years the national editorial association, assisted by tlie different state press associations, has been actively at work attempting to right a wrong and injustice that the government has put upon every print ing office in the nation. That injustice is, that for years the government has printed, free of cost to consumers, re turn cards upon stamped envelopes, taking away from printing offices the legitimate business of printing millions of envelopes yearly without securing a dollars pay for it. Congressman Owen Scott, of Bloomington, Illinois, by hard and persistant work a year ago, se sured the passage of a bill that stopped this business at the time when outstand ing contracts of the government for that kind of printing should expire. The other day in the house the attempt was made to override the law by attaching to an appropriation bill a clause nullifying the law and allowing tlie government to, in the future, continue tlie printing of return cards on envelopes, and again taking out of the hands of printers a legitimate part of their business. Among the advocates of government printing for nothing, and taking legiti mate business from printing offices was Congressman Kem, of this state, the re form congressman, who, '. instead of standing for - tlie hundreds of printing offices in Nebraska, proposes to have the government take business away from them, allowing business men to get their envelopes printed for nothing at the expense of the struggling offices. If it is right for business men to get their printing for nothing why not furnish farmers, who do not require printed envelopes, plain envelopes free of cost? If the government is going into a free business the lines for its extension are limitless. Western Nebraska is 'hot nearly "so greatly interested in a two-cent passenger rate as in securing more . lines of railway and better outlets and connections. Light reductions in freight ' rates would do no harm, but a twenty per cent, cut such as is proposed wonld be a reduction so vio lent as to paralyze the railroad systems of tbe state and impair the service to an extent that would provoke a public chorus of curses loud and deep. Eastern Nebraska would not be materially af fected by a heavy reduction, but central and western Nebraska would be set back in development along all lines for many years to come.

The reception tendered ex-President Harrison on his return to his home at Indianapolis clearly demonstrated that he is held in high esteem by those who know him best as a man and a citizen. It is reported tliat the policy advocated by Harrison in regard to the annexation of Hawaii is favored by Cleveland. The feeling in favor of such annexation is said to be growing as the matter is in vestigated. It is hardly likely that the masses of tlie eople of the United States are in favor of extending the national limits, especially where the new acquisi tion is detaHied from the present limits. Tlie populists in the legislature appear to be determined to have sweeping rail road legislation or none at all. Why in the name of common sense can they not use a little .reason in the matter. The east has got all the railroads it needs but the western part of the state is not yet supplied and legislation which would cripple the railroads . would retard the prosperity of that part of tlie state. The railroads should be dealt with with firm ness but at the same time fairness should direct the movements. The light made by Bryan and Kem in the house against the amendment pro viding for the allotment of land in sev eralty to the Omaha Indians and in the interest of siiuaw men who have thous ands of acres under their control on which they do not even pay taxes does not indicate that those two congressmen are there in the interest of Nebraska, but in the interest of those whose legs they can pull. They should make tlie most of their opportunity for at' tlie end of the present term their salay will cease. 1 lie bill creating a supremo court commission has passed tlie senate and will doubtless "become a law. That wi greatly relieve the work of that court and enable litigants to get a decision in suits before they are all dead. There are a number of applicants for tlie positions thus created, and as the appointments are to be made by the judges of the su preme court and are not to lie of the same political party it is but fair to pre sume that good legal ability will lie selected to fill the places. Cliurch Talk. There will be Sunday School in the M. E. church next Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, and W. O. Ulasner will preach at 11 o'clock a. m. and at 7:'i0 in the evening. All are cordially invited to attend, especially strangers are always welcome. When I stepped into the church last Sabuath evening, I saw a line new lamp, hanging near the pulpit, wh-cli threw out a Hush of mellow light, quietly re minding us that "all things tell of calm repose at the Holy Sabbath's close." This lamp was presented to the 31. E. church by the young people. Please accept our thanks, and be assured your work, is appreciate by all who take pleasure in seeing a good moral and Christian society established in Harrison. Sincerely Yours, W. O.
