Tun fctniomont of the Omaha postollico for the bix months tmdliig' Doeembor ; il presents f > oino interesting facts and fig ures , The increase in business during this period over tlio corresponding siv months of 1881 is $10,3)5 ! , or 23 0-lOths per cont. This is tlio largest pnrcnntago of increase of ony postofllco in tha United SUitos. St , Paul comes nu.vt witli an in- oroaso of 18 5-lOths per cent , and Kansas City follows with 17 8-10th.s per cont. The statement IH another evidence of the growth of Omaha. ONI : of the llrst things that air. 0. M. Natttiifjer , the nowly-olectcd secretary of the board of trade , xhould do is to im press tlio city council with tlio import ance of immediately passing a building inspection ordinance , covering tlio on * tire tilty. and providing for the issuing of building permits , The record of build- in ITS , obtained in this way , would save Mr. Naltiuger a great deal of labor in colluding btatihtlos at tliu end of the year. Such u record would bo reliable and ot great value to the city in ninny ways. KASMU.S 11 , ANUKUSON , of Wis consin , the minister resident to Denmark , is credited with having madoa bad break In ctiquotto nt the royal reception , When he was conducted into tliu audioncu room of the queen , uftnr "bping received by ( ho king , he bhook hands with Iho old ludy ns cordially as ho would have done with nny lady of his acquaintance whom lie had known from childhood , Thai was not all.

The fact that Omnlia rose to the thir teenth place in the list of thirty-one clearing house cities last week has at tracted a great deal of attention , not only among our business men , but nuionp the lead'np cities of the country. That flic outranks Mich cities as Milwaukee , Cleveland , Detroit , Minneapolis , Gahcs- ton and Memphis as a financial center ntustccitainlv bo taken as convincing evidence of licr business growth anil prosperity. That she has more than doubled her bank clearances in a single year Knows that she is booming right along. No other city shows anywhere near Midi an increase. In this connection it is proper to say that Omaha has reason to feel proud ol her financial institutions , which to-day rank among the most solid banks of the country. Keeping pace with the growth and demands of Omaha's business they have from time to tJmo increased their capital , until now llio aggregate capital among the six national and four private banks of Omaha foots tup $3,100,000. The First National bank .ast j-ear was authorized by act of congress to increase Its capital lo $2,000,000. The fact that wo shall have two banks with a capital of $2,000,000 , cacli speaks volumes for the city's prosperity , and its solidity as a financial center. A Drummer's Victory. In many of the states and in gomo of the territories a special tax is imposed npon commercial salesmen representing jobbers and manufacturers in other states. Adecision just rendered by'tho , supreme couit of the United Stales Occlarcs.all such licenses illegal because tlcj ) rcs.trajn fr.ce commerce between the .states. Thq case 'iipdn which this important decision wasrendered is that of Samuel Walling against' the statp of Michigan' . In June , l'883.Wallig was prosecuted in , Michi gan under the dtato. law imposing a tux on pMpons engaged in the business' 'of .selling liquor in that stale , to bo shipped from any other stale. Ilo was a drummer for a Chicago-lirm and was convicted of belling -liquor at''wholesale with out ' .license. und bbliciting and taking orders . for its sale' without license. Jfo'wasimprisonnd in default of the payment of a line. The cass was carried to the supreme court of Miclii- which-- him. The gan , whichdecided against fiupronio court of tlio. United Slates held that a discriminating- imposed by a state , operating to . the disadvantage of tlto products of other elates , is.a . r egula- lion or restraint of commerce'among tlio stales and a such is a usurpation of the power conferredby the constitution. The' judgment of the supreme court of Michi gan was'reverse } ! and remanded , with in structions to take'such * further proceed ings as may not bo inconsistent wjtli Ihis opinion. . Whether Ihis decision would abrige or deny the right of. any- state to requite traveling salesmen , representing browi cries and liquor , houses , to take out a liconso.fpr the sale of litjuor which -is re quired by local jobbers is .by.no means settled. In the Michigan Case there was 'discrimination against' dealers , "from othiSr states bp.a special ' tax not-imposed .upon thoMiehig m'salc'smcH and dealers. The supreme conrt of'tho United .Sta'tcs simply declared that no state has a right to hamper interstate commerce by dis- criniinating.legislation. This would im ply that a- tax imposed alike upon homo and foreign dealers'wbnld not bo" illegal. In Nebrask'a , for instance , where , .the jobbers .In liquqr arc required to talio out a' license there could' boho just charge of discrimination if the same license should 1)0 required 'of foreign dealers. Under our.present liigli license law , however-'it might bo dilllcult , if not impossible , for a foreign dealer to' comply wjth the prpv i sions regarding , the. issuance of a license. J iterally construed tho' law only applies- tq loca.1 jobbbrs and retailors. The next legislature should amend the law -o as to place all wholesale liquor dealers on the samefooting. . . , Tliu'JlunlncSH situation. The recent snow stonns and . 'eojd weather , covering almost the entire country , have luld "tho ofl'oot of greatly impeding , trade * movements. , The pro duce shilmionls from interior points und the distribution of niiinufuctured goods from eastern .centers have boon curtailed by tlio diflleulties of transportation con sequent upon snow blockades. The halt ing condition of business is a natural outcome of the bovoro weather and o\- oites no uneasiness as to tlio future. The situation in most bronchos of tradu and industry is gradually improving , and there ia a general fooling of conlidouco in the prospects for a good spring trade. Biisincs.- , failures continue exceptionally numerous in the southern , western and Pacific states , whioh contribute more than two-thirds of tlio total of ! W3 fail ures reported last week from the United States and Canada. No special activity has been do vclopcd in textile fabrics. Exports of cotton have fallen off , but there lias been a fair de mand from homo spinners , nnd'tho mark ets generally have advanced 1-10 to & of a cent a pound on account of the smaller receipts from tlio houth. Wool is hold with a great deal of conlidouco in all markets. Demand is moderate , but gives promise of early Improvement , as tlio goods trade shows increasing activity , and manufacturers as a rule are carrying moderate stocks. Print cloths have ad * vanccd 1-10 of a cent per yard , under a good demand and reduced stocks at the manufacturing centres , and 2J to 5 per cent advance has boon obtained on somn makes of low-grade cotton shirtings and cottonades , The general dry goods trade shows ah much activity as oaii bo reason ably expected under existing weather conditions , and the market as a whole is in good bhapc. The anthracite conl trade situation is dull and unsatisfactory. Tle ; iron murkel has been u little less nciivo , but the prospects of the trade in most depiiiiiuonU are encouraging , Val ues are well maintained and tlioro is no indication of weakness In any quarter except on nails , which are comparatively dull and weak in anticipation of a re sumption of work by the idle factories in the west. IXtensivo realisations by the long in terests in the whpat market have caused a general decline in prices. Tlio Chicago market at tha eloso of lust week was 3J cents per bushel lower , and seaboard quotations I to 1) ) cmiU per bushel lower than at the close of the previous week. Considering the general laek of confi dence among bpoculativo operators , and the large amount of long wliout that has beun thrown op. the market , thodooliuo It not so great ad was to have been expect ed ; but the temper of speculation is slill bearish , and ( lie legitimate trade outlook gives liltlc encouragement to holder * . The domestic visible supply , according to the Philadelphia llforil , from which we quote , has decreased nearly 700,000 bush els , but the falling off is attributable to the Pwvcro weather , and is more than off set by an increase of 880,000 bushels in the supply of wheat and Hour In transit from all parts of the world to Uro.il Hrit- ain and the continent , K\portsof wheat have been a little moro liberal from New York , bul from other i orh have contin ued very small , and there is little promise of improvement in the general demand , as foreign wheats are slill underselling Iho Amer ican grain in Iho markets of Kuropo. Corn has been less active on now orders foi export , but tlio requirements of out standing contracts are so largo that ro cclpLs are promptly absorbed , and Ihcrc is still a he.ivy short inlcrest among ship pers at Baltimore. The euow blockade checked receipts nt all points , and tlio smaller Interior niovcinont ami continued largo exports have combined to decrease tlio visible Mipply. Hog products have been only moderately active , but have ruled strong , with leading staples show ing a slight advance in consequence of tlio lighter run of receipts at the packing centres. Dilmly'H New Departure ; . Tlio ovder of Jyduo Dundy , of llio United States district court , directing Marshal Uicrbqwer to convoy the jury in the Clarkc-Lcijrhton insuranc.c case .by Special car to Lincoln , is a new departure in political procedure. Thcro is not only no precedent for transporting a jury from ono city to another because they cannot agreo.'but there is no authority in law for 'it. The court has no right to tioerco a , jury into a verdict in any such unheard-of manner , niid it certainly lias no right to Impose payment of railroad fares upon cither party to a ciyil suit. The aetion of Judge Dundy in this'case * is ns arbitrary as Unit of a kingIt reminds os forcibly of the or deals lo which men were subjected dur ing tho.iuiddlo ages in order to compel them to confess'- themselves guilty of criminal conduct or of heresyIn those good old days the Judges used lliunib- screws , Iho rack , and other convincing .arguments in drawing out testimony , and quite frequently the guilt or innd- cenco of a person was" determined by his or licr ability' to withstand torture. There'was no.need of juricsin.tlio.se. days , and hence lie annoyance from stub born juror * ] who refuse t'o agree to a ver dict against their.personal convictions' Underour enlightened eiviliztUon.all coercive methods for dealing out justice have boon abandoned. The only''legiti- ' unite measure ; v judge is entitled to. em- ' poy ] jir bringing jtu ies to. air agreement is to keep them together' for a reasonable length ojttime. . When a 'jury has been out three 'days without coining to .an agreement , * as in this instance , the rational conclusion is that they will never agree. * To subject * juror to pains' , penalties , and unreasonable' ' d.ekmtion . is not "onlybai'Duious , but an .unwarranted . interference wi'tli'tho'right 'and duty of each juror t'o give a vcr'dict according to his conscientious convic tions. The actioii of Judge Dundy in en- delivering -to' force ' agreement by transporting * the jury from- Omaha 'to ' Lincoln will jit best result " .n the 'setti.ng aside of their VerdieV-by a higher court , if a vcrdi'ct'is rendered. Either party to. , the suit feeling dlssatislied will hnyo good grounds for demanding a new trial , and. they would doubtless got it. ' TliN , however , does not concern the public..It is tlio violation , of the right of conscience and'perSonill libertywhjch | liia.kes tlio 'now departure so objection able and oiuti ive.to tlio popular mind.p * A CIIKAT deal Of fuss , lias been , made over the .Kcily incident , but tlio Jonas episode h'as boon nlm'o-,1 forgotten ; al though it was of as much . .importance Iho .Kcil.y affair. It will , be 'remembered tkat Austria , .npt-pnlj * rejected Kcily as United Stales minister , but &lie throw overboard Mr. Charles Jona * $ , the Wis consin Bohemian who ivtis appointed United States consul at Prague. The ground fpr the huniilittting rejection of Mri Jonah was that ho had denounced the Austrian government in public , both orally and thrbugh newspapers , while ; ho was a young man /many years ago fu Prague. There has been tin evident effort to have this matter quietly drop out of night of tlio public , but the adminibtra- tion having been recently remind ed that the case demands consid eration , attempts are now being made to explain away tlio matter. The administration tries to show that Mr. Jonas was not received simply boeaiibo Ills predecessor managed to arouse the jealousies of the ( ionnan element in Hohemia against him as a partisan of the Czeehs. This , to say the least , is a very lame excuse. The fact remains that Mr. Jonas was not very ac- ceutablo to the people among whom ho was expected to represent the United Stales , and Iho state department admit * that ono reason why ho was rejected was the fear of Austria that his presence in Prague as United States consul would encourage tha secret hymputhi/.ersof Jhissla among ( lie C/echs , Altogether Mr. Jonas must bo considered one more proof of Hayard'f. capacity for blundering , iin thcfco objections , if they can bo called Midi , were known when Mr. Jonas was appointed.

Tin * object is certainly - ly a worthy one and'thtj plan of raisin ; ; much-needed funds by an entertainment that will bo a greill1 httclul event and a pleasure to all whoparljcipalo is ono that commends itself t < > everybody. At the same time it will criabto tlio committee to raise a much lar - t1inm than If a , sub scription paper were * circulated 'and everybody were calledifjron to contribute in proportion to Ids means. The tickets to the ball are plaecd at Iho dollars each , and Ihis sum can easily bo spared by thousands of people who will not misa it. The charity ball mils everybody on an equality in the mailer of contribu ting to the assislanco of Iho needy poor , and at the same time all will get "Ihoii money's worth , " which is a considera tion not to bo overlooked. As we have said before it is easier to collect live dollars lars each from a largo number of people than it is to secure largo sums from a small number of persons. Tlio members of the managing committen of the pro posed ball are now engaged in the sale of tickets , the object being to collect the casli at once so that it can bo disbursed among the needy immediately. It Is proposed tote to get together about $3,000 as against if 2,800 last year. The intention is to give the ball in the latter' part of February , und to nuiko it the , grandest social affair that Jias ever taken place west of Chica go. This is an enterprise that should meet "with the liuor of everybody , and ( ho committee sltould have no .difficulty In soiling t.ickets lo tlio amount of $5,000.
