ULAINE M.ND THE PRESI
DENCY
Mr. Hlnino lias for ( he present re
tired entirely from public life , and
proposes to devote himself to the de
velopment of his private interests.
No one , however , imagines for n mo
mcnl that the ex-secretary has cast
nwaynll political ambition , or intends
to permit hinwolf to bo permanently
shelved in the obscniity of conunur-
cial pursuits. On the other hand , it
soumB equally certain that Mr.
Hlaiiu' ' han not , us Home of
the journal1 ! have Hinted , already
begun nn active canvass for the
republican nomination in 1981. A
prominent Cleveland gentleman is re
sponsible for the statement that Mr.
Blaine has clearly defined his posi
tion on thoqucstion within tholanttno
months. Ho is reported to have
stated to Governor Fouler that ho had
no idea of making any canvnsi for the
office and would make no ufTort in the
usually accepted moaning of the word
as applied to politics. If , however ,
the convention should come to Iho
conclusion that his name would boat
fill all the requirements of the situa
tion ho should not object , but would
accept , and so far as luy in his
power , justify the confidence that the
party had placed in him. He added
that ho had no intention of going into
any such fight as ho had made in 1880
and 187 < ! , nnd if the honor over came
to him , it must comu hecauso the re
publican party would have it so.
All this amounts to an admission
that Mr. lilnine will uirain bo a candi
date for Iho presidency if the way
seems at all clear for a successful can
vass. Those statesmen who are al
ready making preparations in advance
to erect their lightning rods will do
well r.ot to ignore thu electric attrac
tion cf the late secretary of stain. It
him given the nomination n very COHO
call twice before and may do
bottur ainco its owner has
three years of license in which to study
the coming political thunder clouds.
Under any circumstances "politics aru
mighty oiiBurtin , " nnd Mr. jilaina
with the uddcd honors of nn excellent
numco as secretary of atato , is likuly
lo prove a very dangerous competitor
in thu presidential race if he fuels HO
inclined , intorviuwH and statumenU to
thu contrary notwithstanding.
Tin : O.MUIA BKK cites the Daniel
case at Now Helena , und the Olive
tragedy as evidence of a lawless spirit
which it assumes exists in Custor
county , but which novpr existed ex
cept in the fertile imagination of tha
news editor of that sheet. Ous
ter county without a district court
is as free from crime as county in the
state , and such flings omo with bad
grace from a paper published where
the foul murder of Watson B. Smith
goes unavenged ; where a class of citi
zens nro banded together to resist
state laws ; whom the last term of
court showed up two murders
cases , two arson cases and nu
merous other crimes of lots
degree , and whuro'burgl&rios are of
nightly occurrence. It is all very
well to point to isolated cases hero
and there in this county as evidence
of lawlessness. But it does not tol-
low that because wo have no courts
we are worse than our neighbors.

TIIK UKK has nut assumed that a
awlesH spirit exists in Custor county ,
md it is willing to admit that any
comparison ! ! between the obedience
laid to the laws by our frontier
loighbora , and the respect manifested
'or their enforcement in Omaha would
judecidodly to the disadvantage of this
city as at present governed. It is one
of the wornt results of the prevailing
condition of oflairit in Omaha , whore
, ho entire city government seems
> andud together to nullify thu laws ,
lint such criticism as the above can
not bo answered by a denial or turned
oaido by apology.
IT is virtually nulllod that wo shall
lave an uxtra session of thu lugisla-
turu this wintur. This opportunity to

points that uro to bu inserted in the

mueting of taxpayers to discuss the
proposed amendments in their various

iu order that the moiiiburs ( nun Dung

what their constituents desire thorn
to do. Such a meeting to discuss the
paving problem could bu called by the
president of the board of trade , to
which tliu Uuiiglii dulogation hhouli

which to puvo our strool has not yu
arrived. Tlio main question and th

In remarking on the abovu figures ,
lie Mercantile Agency in its annual
ircular says :
"The nbovo figures indicate a ma
orial increase in the number of fail-
res for the year 1881 , and n growth
( i the loss by bud debts considerably
vor last year. An indication of this
ort can hardly bo interpreted to bo n
avorablo sign na to the condition of
ho country , yet , when a comparison
a instituted batwcey the failure fig
ires of last year and those of previous
r'ears , for instance , 1878 , it will bo
con that in the proportion they bear
thu casualties of thai und previous
oars , bolh as to thu number of fail
ires nnd the amount of liabilities ,
lie result is not unfavorable. It
liould nlso hu recollected , that while
lie failures and liabilities of 1881 uru
mly slightly more than ono-half those
f 1878 , the volume nf trade in prob-
bly now four or five times as greal a :
t was then , while the number of
ersoiiB engaged in business in cur
ainly eighteen to twenty-five pur
out greater. As lo thu proportion
f failures to those engaged in bnsi-
lens , our statistics show that in 187 (
ho failures wore 1 in every ( ! I ( per-
ons ; in 1877 , 1 in 71 ! ; in 1878 , 1 in
4 ; in 1870 , 1 in 105 ; in 1880 , 1 in
58 , while in 1881 thu proportion wac
in 1-10. The advantage in favor of
lie year just closed over the average
f years is therefore very marked. "
Attention is also called to the fact thnt
lero is a vague soneo of uncertainty
ogarding the future , grounded upon
lie experiences of 1872-187H. The
onditions which preceded the hut
risis , it ia claimed , resemble those
Inch now prevail , viz. : enormous
xtonsion of trade , great expenditures
n railways and publicoworks ; in-
roasod growth and etiao of credit ,
us illustrated by the largo loans of the
auks ; and a general disposition to
ock up quick capital in asnots of at :
nrealizud character. This feeling
f apprehension finds some support
i the partial failure of tlio grain
raps in thu west ; in the decrease experts
xports ; the increase in imports ; the
argo reduction in the earnings o
ending railroads , involving u lessened
ncomu to thu investors in this class
f property , and th great decline in
hu realizable prices of securities
represented on the stock exchange
u compared wish six months ago ,
Yhilo it is true thnt all these eloraentc
are suggestive of a changing conditioi :
> l things , it is doubtful if they can bo
ntorprotod adversely to the genera !
rospority of the trudoof the country ,
? he extension of business seems , 01
ivory hand , to bo of n moat healthy
iharactor. There is little or no ao
Cumulation of stocks of manufactures
n any locality , while in numerous do
lartmenta of activity orders are far
head of the greatly increased produc-
ive power. . Though it is true that
ho grain crop has not been up to ita
usun 'nvnragu , it should bo berne in
nind thnt for several years very umplo
rewards have been realized by the
.gricultural community ; while in
loarly nil products , except grain , the
Molds of previous years have been
naintuined. 1'ricus , too , continue ao

mulucor is not fur short of thu uvor-

The circular , which is very full nnd
complolu in its statistical dutuib , con
cludes us folios :
"Thu political and financial outlook

ation by which the laws relating to

four years. The prospect is that , ua
compared with nny country in the
world , failures will continue not only
to bo less numerous in proportion to
the number engaged in trade , but far
less in amount of average liabilities ,
and in u far emaller ratio to the ex
