of compelling corporations , protocto

The public should bo on tholr guard
igainst the bogui reports of oxtrava-
; ant harvests which are daily placed

vith a view of decreasing the price of

'huru is no questioning the fact that
ho preocnl otop will bo as largo , if
ot larger , than any ever btforo har-
cstod , but the wild reports of nome

jet is to depress values for the

Hinnl places the wheat crop ul GOO- ,
30,000 bushels while another equally
iliablo KOCB lo the other extroino and
jttmatca it at 400,000,000 buurmls.
loiiBcirvativo judges allow 020,000,000
uahols as the probable harvest , and
liL'Do tigurca are nuariir to trulh than
ithcr of the others. The largest pro-
tous yield in 18SO was -IDO.OOO.OOO
i hioh was ninety milhonn uboto that
f last year ,
So far as the oorn crop is concerned
otimatoa vary as widely as who.it the
rhuat harvest , is under discussion. The
riirm run of the past Ihreu weeks
aa worked wondora all over thu
ountry in conturbalancing the dis-
stroua cll'octa of a wet summer. The
'ublic inclines to the belief that the
mil yield will not exceed 1,200,000-
00 bushels while Iho Commercial
iu/Mm / places it at 1,000,000,000
uohula. Leading grain dealers pro-
iot that if frost holdu oil' for another
jrtnight a crop of 1,500,0000,000
uahols will be assured.
There is the same dilferonco ot
pinion as to the probable demand for
ur surplus crops in Kuropcan mar-
ots. Thu bears declare that
10 crops abroad are abundant
liilo the bulls announce that
rought in one euction and rain in

rain. The most reliable reports in-
iouto thai lliero will bo a foreign Jo-
mud at good prices for whr.tovor sur <

'hosu ' who fear unusually low prices
lusl not torgut that the amount of
roadslulls which the country can
pare this year will not be much
irger than in 1880 , when the crop
as lif-hter. The crops of 1880 fol-
jwod Iwo years of heavy harvoM and
irge surplusci , Our home consump-
ion of wheat during the last two
oara appears to have boon about
20,000,000 bushels each. The pruaont
ear , with our iucreased population ,
. cannot fall much below 1)20,000,000 )
ushels. Kstimating our present
'heat harvest at 020,000,000 bushels ,
'o shall have only 200,000,000 bush-
Is for export which will easily be ab-
jrbod by thu foreign demand.
So there ii no reason on the part of
ur farmers to fear that superabundant
ropj will bo discounted by unusually
hr pdccj. Thu figures of last year
ill ecarcaly bo reached , but fifty con't
heat and liftoon cent corn are things
f the past in Nebraska. Local con-
imption is much greater than it used
1 bo. Thu demand for corn for food-
ig will ba larger than ever and the
estern markets which are opened to
ur states will call fur a constantly incasing -
-casing supply of our breadstuff * .
Each year is taking our product
more and more out of the hands
eastern speculators and making the
lew dependent upon markets troubl
by groal corners and alternate

a demand for all of Nebraska's ran
nificont harvest this year , and a d

A SCANDALOUS VERDICT.
Five out of eleven councilmen ha
declared under oath that Daniel
Angel ) , city marshal of Omaha , is r
guilty of neglect of duty and violatl
of the ordinances which he is requir
to enforce. Inasmuch as a major !
of the entire council ( seven mombei
did nol vole Iho marshal puilty 1
stands acquitted and will continue
Iho head of our police force. A mo
scandalous verdict was never rendon
anywhere. Il is nol only a disgra
lo Iho city council but an outrage upc
the whole community. There h hari
ly a man , woman or child in this ctl
that docs not suffer more or less fro ;
the reckless and criminal negligent
of thu chief of police. II is a notor

oughly demoralised and has been prni

liat Angoll allowed saloons to rui

rdinancca. Does anybody bcliovi

There are fully two hundred prosti-
ules in this city , who ought to pay
nontbly fines , which at an average of
ivo dollAru per month would aggregate
? 12,000 a year , but the cilicicnt Mar-
h.U only reported thirty-five prosti-
utoa to thu police court , and the
chool fund Is the loser of thousandn
if dollars par annum. It was [ shown
luring the trial that his deputy was
rcquontly drunk and had been a con-
tar.t violator of the law.
This man had been Angoll'a dopty
or iovonteun months , and Angcll was
us boon companion in carousing and

hia deputy tenders his roaignation
ind Angoll is acquitted on the ground
hat ho \ \ as not losponaiblo for the

In ordinary and purely political
lonteets public men are excused for

acts are clear and overwhelming it is
imply monstrous for them to vote
'not guilty" because their faction de-
ires to eustuin ItRolf. The whole
ommnnity , excepting perhaps the
lutlaws mid burglars , will rcgaid thu
