Omaha.

.Imlgo , r. t' . lnrnard ? , of the Now York
court of appeals , nft-cr a term of
"
twenty-one years"1 service , has lately
received n practically unanimous
nomination lo the bench from the
conventions of both political parlies.
Such an endorsement speaks volumes
both for thi ) judge and for the people
whom ho 11.14 served. A ( orni of oflico so
lengthy could scarcely have boon scoured
tiudur iv system which did not offer a high
premium for legal ability , integrity and
learning. The comfortable salaiie-s paid
and the a.ssurancoof undisturbed leniiro
which so many of our 'eastern states af
ford to their judiciary is largely responsi
ble for the strength of their courts. ,
The standard of the judiciary in Ne
braska Is too low. The opinion is spread
ing , not only among Iho best members of
our state bar , but also among the clients
who patronize them , that the touoof our
district benches must bo improved.
There is a general feeling that thti day is
approaching when the people will re-
quiruinon of belter calibro and higher
legal attainments on the bench than they
have in the past Wo rolled on no par
ticular distiict when wo say that the best
material for judges in our slate decline
lo bo candidates for tlio office. In some
counties there arc a &coro of practicing
attorneys who are superior in point of
learning and experience to the judges
before whom they argue.
That this is the casu is duo principally
to the insignificant salaries paid to our
judges , from the .supreme bench down.
No lawyer oE moderate moans
and more than ordinary ability in private
practice can nffo'ril to accept an ollico
which , besidcs tlio honor of holding it ,
affords such a scanty compensation for
the discharge of its duties. A seat on
the bench has noattractions to able at
torneys llko our 1'oppletons and Wool-
worths , our Savages and Mamlcr.sons in
Omaha , and a score of others in cities
and towns elsewhere in Nebraska. Occa
sionally men of means arc found to ac
cept temporarily the ollico for the honor
which it brings , as was ( ho case with
Judges Savage and Wakeloy and Lake ,
but as a rule lawyers of their calibro
prefer the profit of a largo practice to
the poorly paid labor.of the judiciary.
It is in consequence of this that theraco
for promotion to the bench is generally
confined to pettifogging attorneys and
small-boro lawyers who want the oflico
for the salary.
Unfortunately , any bar takes its tone
mpro or le&s from tlio bench , and in some
districts of Nebraska tlio efl'ecl is very
marked. Whether an elective judiciary ,
in the long run , is or Is not equal or su
perior in its results to that secured by an
appointive system , needs here no discus
sion. The constitution has forever set
tled that question , so far as Nebraska is
concerned. It has also fixed the salaries
of our judges , bobli suprema and dis
trict. Hut wo believe that the time
is not far distant when enlight
ened public sentiment will demand by
constitutional amendment such an al
vance in the compensation of tlio judges
and bitch a lengthening in the tenure of
their ollico as will make the ofltces prizes
lo bo sought after , and secured by the
most learned , the most experienced , jind
the most highly esteemed legal minds of
our slato.
Why Pfot ?
Ono of Omaha'greatest deficiencies ! . >
small factories , which will use up the
product of our neighboring farms. From
limo to thuo Iho Run has felt called upon
lo note this deficiency. A letter from
one of our most esteemed subscribers in
Douglas county once moro brings up the
subject in such a forcible manner that
wo quote ib entire. The writer asks :
"Why do not ttie capitalists of Oinnha turn
their attention for a llltto limo now-a-diys : to
the erection of a good fUnu-insj mill , which
will ( 'lvo northeastern Nebraska a local mar
ket for its wlipat ? I know that piolitablo
operation of such an "establishment Is per
fectly possible. Schnylor Hour is largely sold
in Omaha. SUnloii , It'romont and West
Point are successfully operating largo mills ,
and are scarcely able to supply the demand.
Omaha possesses mauy advantages over any
of thcso locations , and with large clovatoiti ,
cheaper coal and competitive tallrond latci ,
the cost of mnmifuctiuo would bo less , while
a city of 00,03J punplo would furnish a sure
and steady local market for the product. "
This is pertinent ; and well put. Oma-
lias last attempt at inillinf failed for two
reasons , lack of capital and gross care
lessness in the managements of tluvcon-
oern. A run of poor flour , injudiciously
thrown upon the market contrary to
every precedent of successful millers ,
was the chief cauno of tho'failuro. I'or u
man of moderate capital , fair experience
and ordinary business ability , wo know
of no studi opening as that for a good
mill right in this city.
and especially the
people of rhlladolp'iia , tire uroiuiiig
themselves to tlio nccessityof curbing the
greud of corporate monopolies. That
portion of the press whluli is not bound
hand and foot to the Pennsylvania rail
road syslum , is moving vigorously for
active cll'oits to throw oil'tlio trammels
with which the ovlorlions and solllihucss
of thutgroat corporation havo-boiind the
stato. With tliuir industries , par'ly/.ed :
in rurtain sentions , bceauso it is to Iho
private interest of Iho railroad In build
them up in othort * , and witli Philadelphia
showing a steady relative decrease in
manuf.ioturing , notwithstanding her
matchless position for turning out almost
every product of industry , the cry Is
ringing Ihroughutit Iho onliro state that
tlio constitution must bo unforced.
The patioivflo of Pennsylvanians in sub
mitting to thi ) dominations and encroach-
munts of r.iilrixid monopoly is marvel
ous. For years past Tom Hi'clt's great
uioation lias madu the laws , elected the
law enforcers and controlled the smallest
county political conventions. The con.
stltittiou of 187'J was the llrst practical
rising of unlramumlud public sentiment
ng.iliist their oppressors , Itut the people
of PentHylvaiilti , Itko the people of No-
lauska , l.uvo found out Unit it i.s ono
thing to demand lawn and another thing
to > ecuro Uioir passaga and unforctuuent.
Since the ( u.ssugo'jf the constitution they
liavu been uuuhlo to secure a IcgUlatiiro
which would obey iU man-
ituto. The capital al Harrbburg
at each uessi m bus swnrtncd with
( ho Itenohmon of corporate monopoly ,
Kvery attempt to soouro reliefby Iho
building of competing lines has ended in
the swallowing of the now road by the
IVntisylvania anaconda. Under thosu
circumstances and goaded into despera
tion l\v the purchase of the South Penn
sylvania road by iU great rival , the pco-
plo of thn stuto tire preparing to make
such iv light for the control of the nc.xt
IpgislaJuro as will sccuro a majority am-
plu to fulfil Iho will of the people. Their
efforts will bo watched with much Inter-
usl throughout , the west , whcro the task
to be accomplished and the heavy odds
to bo overcome are well known by billcr
experience.
Up Uio Navy.
The widespread demand for an up-
bulldingaiul reorganization of ottrmisor *
able apology for a. national nary matin it
self felt In the hist days of Iho republican
administration. It found further expres
sion in Iho act which provided for ( hn
building of the cruisers Atlanta and Chicago
cage and the amphibious Dolphin , which
so far has spent Its titno about equally on
the dry docks and in Long Island sound.
The now cruisers , Chicago mid Atlanta ,
are now under course of construction at
Chester , and will shortly bo in possession
of the government. The fuluro of the
Dolphin is htill enveloped in mystery.
Thcso vessels , intended to bo the be-
ginningtt of a now navy , nro now to bo re
inforced under the act of May 8th , IBSti ,
by two additional cruisers , the plans for
which have jusC been made public by
Secretary Whitney. Without entering
into lengthy details of ( heir proposed
construction it is sulllcicnt lo bay that
they are to bo practically 1500\50 feet in
length and beam , with a draught of nine
teen feet and an estimated speed of
eighteen knots an hour. The main bat
teries are to consist of three eight-inch
and eight six-inch breech loading can
nons with auxiliary batteries of IFotch-
kis3 guns , and a complete Whilehead
torpedo outfit. In addition to theab twin
screw cVuisers a heavily armed gunboat
of 1,030 tons displacement and a light gun
boat of 800 tons displacement are also
recommended. With the completion of
these proposed vessels our now navy will
consist of four cruisers , two gunboats ami
possibly a dispatch boat , the Dolphin.
None of thosu will bo adequate for coast
dofunso against llio great foreign iron-
olads. Tlio cruisers are all of the class
denominated as "unarmorcd vessels. "
Their mission will bo to destroy the mcr
cliaut tuatino of hobtilo powers , protect
our own shipping on the high seas
ng.iinst other cruisers , and act as police
of the SOILS iu maintaining American in
terests. They will form the nucleus
rather than the solid foundation of the
now navy which is demanded so urgently
by every commercial interest of our
country.
The next movement in ( he building up
of our navy must bo the construction of
war ships for coast defense and aggres
sion elsowhoco if necessary. In the
planning and construction of our great
ironclads wo are fortunate in being able
lo profit by the costly mistakes and ex
periments of other governments. Our
naval constructors will bo enabled lo
build on the latest and most approved
types. All the recent improvements in
heavy armor aud heavy armaments will
bo al our disposal. Tim vcmilt will bo
that with braJuy ami honest construction
the Hulled. States , with a much smaller
uavy than any of tlio great powers , need
not bo afraid to maintain her honor or
rcsunt insults lo a flag whoso appearance
in foreign waters on a man-of-war has
been a disgraceful commentary in years
past on ollicial incompetence aud con
gressional niggardliness.
THAT tlioro is an interesting revival of
railroading is shown by some figures just
published in a Chicago journal , which
show that an immense mileage of now
roads i.s called for and is certain to be
built within n-shortlimo. Railroad build
ing , which had readied extraordinary
proportions in 183 ? , fell oH'suddenly , un
til at the commencement of the present
season It almost ceahtd. Nevertheless ,
in spite of the difficulty of obtaining
money for railroad investment , lite need
of moro roads In some sections was so
great that several small lines were
pushed along in spite of the tight money
market. It is shown that there are " 07
lines in progress , with a total mileage
of 3,518 , , while419 roads are pro
posed with an aggregate mileage
of 5,1-J5. , Of these the Illinois is
credited with a mileage of 1,1578 iu pro
cess of construction or proposed. A little
less tluui 'J.OOO miles have boon completed
slneoJan. 1. A marked feature is tlio
awakening in the southern , states , whcro
178 lines with an aggregate of over ! > ,003
miles are reported. The year opened
with gloom and depression in business
circles , bnteiow cunPdbiico has been so
far restored that capitalists are becoming
eager to invest in railway building , and
the rumaiiting three months of 18S" > are
likely to witness a blill greater movement
in th.U direction.
IMMIGIIATIOX is declining rapidly.
There is really no cause to regret that
this is ( lie case. Under present circum
stances , the competition among laborers
for employment needs no added stimu
lant. Ono of tlio best nrifumonUJ against
high protection lias always been that
while it certainly protected capital it was
iniillicionl Iu protecting labor , bccauso
while placing impediments in the path of
Uio importation of the competitive pro
ducts of labor , it offered no bar to the
importation of competing labor it
self. With a scanty supply
of labor , largo immigration is
always welcomed. Hut In times of in
dustrial deprcssiou it is apt lo increase
( he stagnation. The records show that
the total immigration of ( hoeightmonths
of 187J5 , ending on the Ulsl of Augustwas
211DM. , a leclino of 01,1)1)9 , ) ) from the im
migration of it corresponding period of
1831 , The migration from Germany , ( ho
greatest European contributor to the
population of tliu United States , fell from
117,703 in tho'olght mouths of 1831 to 83-
7 -J this year , a decline of lip ward of ill
percent. In the eight mouths of this
year the migration from the United

IT is hard , ( o arousu Eorra republicans
to enthusiasm in the present oampaigo ,

of their state since the organization of
the republican party. The republican
ticket has received good majorities in
every year except I87T , when it was in
a minority of some 0,071 , , although suc
cessful. Even last year , with a hot cam
paign and a. strong fusion ticket , the re
publican majority was over 20,000.

state as well as national elections are

sylvania , Ohio , Indiana and West Vir
ginia all held their state elections in
October. Pennsylvania was the first in
1873 to change to a November stato. In
1830 Indiana withdrew from the list of

Nebraska Watchman : The remarka
ble growth of llio daily HKK is a genuine
business romance. Fifteen years ago , last
summer , fresh from the legislative arena ,
in Lincoln , Mr. Hose-water issued Iho first

the HIK , folio si/w , is printed from .stere
otype plates of now typo on a web per
fecting press , capable ot turning out 15- ,
000 conip.clo copies in nn hour. The
transformation from a hand piuss lo the
Seott porf'iicling press represents a Htiii
glo for a foothold in Ihu journalistic field
without parallil in Iho west. Menaced
on uvory side h\r Iheealous luckoys of
