KonciEN , Secretary of State. THE decline in the traffic or ( he Canal , which became apparent in Jnty last , still continues. In July , 3SS-I5 thirty-eight vessels fewer than in July , 1SS3 , passed through the canal 5 and the receipts of the company were : } { , - 520 less than in the former year , although - though they were $73,800 more than in 1882. For the month of August the daily receipts came to 12.200 less than for July : but the comparison with these of last year has not been published. JOHN CHINAMAN certainly has a hard road to travel in California. lion.V. . T. Welkcr , state superintendent of pub lic schools , has recently decided that Chinese children cannot become pupils of the public schools , public education being intended under the constitution of the state only for those who can become citizens. There are nearly 1,500 Chin ese children in San Francisco alone. ELAINE drew an audience of 200,000 in JJufialo when he passed through that town and there were fifty thousand spec tators in Cleveland to witness the torch light procession of fifteen thousand that escorted him through the city. In Ohio wherever he goes , immense crowd gather to do him honor. The intcrio is waking up and there will be a ful turn out of republicans at the polls i : November. THE row between England and France ' is getting interesting. Recently Lo Paris urged the powers to inform Eng land that she has gone too far in pro moling the Egyptian Government tf break the international law in regard to the Egyptain finances. England , the same paper says , cannot be allowed to dispose of Egypt as she likes.C | Na tional expresses the belief that in con sequence of the protest ol' the powers England has already resolved to modify the financial measures which she expect ed to enforce in Egypt. Ex-GoYEUNOR FURXAS is now ii New Orleans making arrangements fo Nebraska's exhibit at the world's expo sition. lie will return to Nebraska ii a few days and will then collect all the articles that arc to be exhibited. It is hoped that our people all over the state will respond liberally and promptly wit ! contributions. This will be a spleudic advertisement of Nebraska , and the op portunity ought not to be neglected The exhibits must all be in places by No vcmbcr 15th ; so it will be seen tha there is not very much time to spare. Omaha Uec. THE last issue of Bradstrect taking up the per cent of failures for the same period in 1882 and 1883 estimates tha the total for the year will exceed 11.500 For the first nine months the number is put at 8,200 , as against 7,359 for the same period in 1830. A careful discus sion of the question as to the extent to which fraud enters into bank failures result in the conclusion that fewer fail ures are due to this cause than is cOmmonly - monly supposed. Out of 117 bank fail ures in thirty-eight weeks , sixteen arc only found to be due to frauds and to embezzlement seven of national , five of stale and four of private banking in- institutions. IN November there are to be licit two national conventions of cattlemen one at Chicago on the 13th , and one at St. Louis on the 17th. It seems that a quarrel has arisen between the cattle interests of the two cities. St. Louis claims that its call for a national con vention has been recognized by all the leading ranch owners and -breeders throughout the country , and that the G w Illinois board of agriculture has been induced by Chicago "kickers" ' to issue i call "for a convention in Chicago in idvance of the St. Louis meeting. The 3t. Louis iolks. however , maintain that they will draw the crowd , and that the Chicago convention will adjourn to that jitv. Bee. IT is a significant fact that , while Eng land is using its influence in every way possible to encourage a free-trade policy n America , there has for several years jcen a dissatisfaction shown by many Englishmen toward its results there. Even Lord Beaconsfield intimated that Tec-trade was a mistake , and in recent speeches in the" house of lords the same ricw Avas taken. The fact is that Eng- and lias outlived the day when she can ioiMinand the commerce and control the nanufacturcs of the world , and as her msiness is curtailed she will have to idopt the American plan and protect icrself by tariff laws. TIM : Inter Ocean correspondent who ionic time ago set down West Virginia is safe for IJlainc has continued and mshed his investigations into Virginia , .le sets that state down as fully as lia- ile to go lor Blaine as for Cleveland , lis reasonings and deductions sound a ittlc too much like democratic treatises ii Ohio. There is a reaction against ilahonc in Virginia which is not likely o be overcome this time. It will be emcmbercd that at the last election in hat state a legislature so strongly bour- on in each branch as tc over-ride the cto of the readjuster governor was hosen. Topics. AMONG the many interesting features at the New Orleans exposition will be the exhibits in the horticultural and arboricultural departments , of which Prof. S. 31. Traccy is superintendent. Nearly all timber grown in the north and south will be on exhibition , and from Nebraska young specimens of various kinds of trees will be found growing in a plat secured for that purpose by Com missioner Furnas. This will be novel , instructive and beneficial to the state. The New Orleans Times-Democrat says that valuable and interesting arboral and floral exhibits are expected from the .inlcrtropical island of Jamaeia , which will be well worthy of the atten tion and the researches of naturalists. It will pay all persons who , either for pleasure or profit , are engaged in the raising of trees and floweis , to visit New Orleans this winter. In a short time the } ' can obtain much valuable and practical information in their line. Republican. DR. A. M. Youic , the brother of the Dr. York who was murdered by the Bender family in Kansas , whose disap pearance led to the discovery of the work of the gang , is looking very anxiously for the " Iiievcs" of iously "Captain Appleton - pleton , Missouri , who wrote the account of the shooting of the Bender's in the Indian territory by a party of which he alleges himself and Dr. York were mem bers. The doctor says that whenever those who have been searching for the Benders get on a trial some story of this kind is set in circulation , and he believes by .some of the accessories to the Bender robberies and murders. lie says that Rievcs * story is a pure fabri cation , lie will give two thousand dollars lars for proof that the Benders have been killed. But he evidently -thinks that they are still in hiding somewhere and bopcs some day to get upon their track and bring them to justice. Journal. THE "Washington territory republican platform demands "admission into the union as a sovereign state , with the northern counties of Idaho embraced in our boundaries. " Washington and Northern Idaho over over 100,000 in habitants and are entitled in every way to admission. Democrat injluencc has kept the territory out of the union for years , and many democrat members will fight its admission during the next con gress. It is possible , however , that after the presidential question is settled for four years , justice will be done a long waiting people , and the admission of the territory will not be so strenu ously fought on account of its republi can tendencies. Tin : wheat raisers of the west have been advised by The Chicago Tribune not to sell their wheat at prices fixed by the gamblers. anJ not to plant as many acres this fall as last. The argument is that they may thus ' 'let the consuming pow er of the world catch up with the sup ply. Just now the farmers arc suffer ing from overproduction of wheat. The remedy is to produce less of that cereal. ' In Nebraska farmers do not depend to any great extent upon wheat raising for an income. Corn is king , and by judi ciously converting this staple into porl- and beef the average agriculturalist by careful management becomes prosper ous. A comparison of income and prof its of wheat and stock raisers , for a se ries of years , will establish the fact bn- yond question that the advantage is on the side of the latter. The truth is that wheat raising , as a rule , is not suffi ciently remunerative. Republican. Legal. Notice. A. E.
