OMAHA , will soon have street railroads
enough to accommodate ii population of
half a million. The question is how soon
will these motor and cable roads bo in
operation ?
NEXT Thursday Tennessee will struggle
with the problem of a prohibitory amend
ment to the constitution at the polls. Of
the live states that will pass upon the
question this year , Michigan and Texas
have already decided in the negative.
The vote in Oregon occurs in the early
part of November and in Georgia on the
80th of that month.
IT is shown by computations of the
treasury ofllcials that , nearly 171,500.000
have been added to the volume of money
in the hands of the people during the
past year. So great is the amount of
business done , howovcr , that this large
additional sum has had but little appre
ciable effect. The cry is shll for more
money in the business centers.
JAMES I. UUIUSTIE , assistant sergeant-
ill-arms of the United States senate , has
spent some weeks in Montana with the
senate committee on Indian affairs. The
only conclusion ho has come to in regard
to our "wards , " which ho is willing to
make public , is that there is great need
but a very small market for soap on all
the reservations. Can it bo possible that
the modern method of advertising that
toilet tmiolo lias failed to iniluenco the
red man ?
THE president has just ordered the al
lotment of Indian lands in severally to a
number of tribes near Baxter Springs ,
Kan. This action of the government will
throw open several hundred thousand
acres of fertile land to white settlers. It
may bo regarded : is the opening wedge
to the division of the entire Indian terri
tory. Most of the civilized tribes are now
in favor of such a solution of the Indian
question. There will no doubt bo a gen
eral influx of white settlers as soon as the
president's order becomes generally
known. _ _ - _ _ _ _
THE commissioner of the general land
oflico has completed the adjustment of
nine railroad grants. In eight of these
the adjustment shows that an aggregate
of 1,353,483 acres have brien erroneously
patented or certified in excess of the
amounts duo under the grants. The
same companies have filed lists of selec
tions aggregating 1,014,334 acres in ad
dition , making a total of 2,8'J7,809 acres
received and claimed in excess of the
crunts. These figures carry their own
comment. Will those incorporated
robbers bo dealt- with as thieves on a
imaller scale are ? If not , why not ?
TIIK election of a Nebraska woman as
n lay delegate to the next general con-
furonce of the Methodist church will
bring the question of woman's rights in
religious matters bcforo that body.rj.hc
Methodists have never taken much stock
in the Apostle Paul's command , "Let the
women keep silence in the churches , "
but 60 far females have been excluded
from membership in their legislative
gatherings. Nebraska's lady delegate
may not be allowed to sit as n member
of the general conference , but her elec
tion will cause a hot discussion of the
subject and may load to n great innova
tion in Methodist affairs. Nebraska is
always in the van in the onward march
of progress woman's rights not ox-
cepted. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Tan victory of the Volunteer in its
race with the Scotch yacht Thistle , ycv
terday , has again demonstrated the
superiority of American seamen over
those of Great Britain , Our English
neighbors have long and loudly assorted
that the new yacht was the fastest over
constructed in that country , and that in
every way it was superior to anj
American schooner that had ever been
built. Now that this supposed invincible
boat has boon beaten , the blame for the
defeat will bo bestowed upon the head of
her sailing master. From the reports of
the race it would certainly seem that pooi
leamanshlp was displayed , but it may bo
trim that tno Thistle was not all that hot
suthuslaslio English admircra claimed
tor her. No matter what the cause ,
bowuvor , the race was won on its merits
ind furnishes the great American public
mother cause for exultation.

General DIHworth has been formally

General Dlllworth has been tn training
for the position n number of years , but
unfortunately his active backing comes
from the railroad managers. The fact
that ho Is now onoof the attorneys of the
Hurlington road would within itself
provo a bar to his ambition. The
trump card by which ho expects to win
k sectionalism. The cry' for a Judge
from Western Nebraska will bo renewed
at. the state convention , and the effort to
comblno the delegation1 * west of the

Dlllworth may give him n very respect *
able following. Without calling in

The K. nf li. Convention.
A great deal of interest is being felt in
labor circles throughout the country re
garding the forthcoming general as
sembly of the Knights of Labor , which
moots at Minneapolis next Monday. The
impression seems to bo that the organ !
zation Is in sorau danger of encountering
a crisis in iU attaint at this meeting , and
there is evidently pome apprehension
that the consequences may be serious.
The fact Is matter of public knowledge
that since the last meeting a good deal
of disaffection has developed , nnd if there
were factions before they have become
more numerous nnd more outspoken
since. The effect of this has been to reduce -
duce the numerical strength of the or
ganization , the loss in membership dur
ing the past year being stated as
high as three hundred thousand. Several
causes have contributed to this result ,
among thorn the attractions offered by
the federation of labor unions instituted
at Columbus , O. , last year , and the
growth of hostility to the administration
of Mr. Powdorly. The former influence
has been very great in inducing organ
izations of skilled workmen to withdraw
from the Knights , the system upon which
the federation IE formed appearing to
this class to offer a fairer and safer basis
for successful combination than that of
the Knights. As to the sccona matter ,
there has developed a very pronounced
antagonism to the general master work-
mau , which is expected to exhibit itself
very forcibly at the Minneapolis assembly ,
unless Mr. Powdorly should avert an issue
by carrying out his professed intention
to resign. Most of the members of the
general executive board are also under
stood to bo in bad odor with a largo part
of the organization , and will have to
fight hard to retain their positions , if they
desire to do so.
The chief contention will bo regarding
thcso officials and the constitution , which
it is claimed is illegal , having been foisted
upon the organization without having
been voted upon nnd rccoivod a majority
in each local assembly. There is a good
deal of doubt as to whether Powdorly will
voluntarily resign. Ho is now in retire
ment preparing his report , which is ex
pected to bo very elaborate and to
contain many important recom
mendations. Among other sug
gestions it is understood that ho will ad
vance plans for the promotion of temper
ance and education among the people ,
and for the restriction of foreign immi
gration. Re will probably also have
something to say regarding land reform ,
in favor of a department of labor with a
cabinet officer at its head , and the ad
vocacy of governmental telegraphs and
railways.
It is evident that the forthcoming gen
eral assembly of the Knights of Labor is
to bo one of the most important the or
ganization has held , and it is apparent
that its results will go far to determine
what is to bo the future of the organiza
tion. It Is to be hoped that wise and dis
creet counsels will prevail. and , that the
Knights will comb out of the ordeal in a
butter condition than ever to advance the
interests of labor.
Gcnrcc In Now York ,
Whatever opinion wo may entertain
regarding the peculiar ocouomio doc
trines of Mr. Henry George , it must bo
conceded that ho ia showing himself to
bo a leader of great vigor and zeal. The
campaign ho is conducting in New York
is marked by nn earnestness and enthu
siasm which compel attention to it , and
there is reason to bolicvo that it Is stead
ily winning adherents. Everywhere that
George speaks ho is greeted by largo
audiences that listen oagcrly to all ho
has to say. Undoubtedly many are at
tracted by curiosity to see the man and
to hoar from his own lips the exposition
of his land theories and those principles
which , he aQlrms , would , if adopted , do
away with poverty and elevate every
class of labor , but much the larger num
ber are drawn to his meetings from n
feeling of strong interest in what ho ad
vocates , and ail who are predisposed to
accept his views are pretty sura to be
come earnest followers after they have
heard him. The ability of Henry George
cannot bo fairly questioned , ho is un
doubtedly sincere , and impracticable ! and
visionary as some of his theories are
thought to be they are not all without n
plausibility that renders them acceptable
to a very largo clement of the people.
There is n studied effort made to mifl
represent the position of George , and
this chielly by democratic papers
which profess to bo the particulai
friends of the laboring masses. The
leader of the united labor party appears ,
however , to bo in no wise disconcerted
by this form of attack , as indeed ho need
not bo. Whether his philosophy is the one
that is to improve the economic nnd so
cial condition of mankind , or i * simply
a coHoction of vagaries , it Is at loasl
proving of use in causing people tc
think nnd investigate , with the resultol
exposing to view many prevailing abuses
and false conditions. This gives it and
its author a value not to be ignored ,
Practically tliu campaign of Henri
George seems certain to inaku consider
able inroads upon the fitrcngth of boll
of the political parties , lie has recnntlj
had some important accessions nf luboi
support , and it is very likely that in the
rural districts a cousidorab lu number o
fanners will array thomsulvoa under hi :
banner. Hi ) to working hard , with tin
advantage of having somuting new U

a gathering of farmers re
cently , Senator Shenr.au among othoi
good counsel as to diverdifvlnir their pro
dacttons ndvised thorn to giro attention
to the cultivation of sorghum nnd boots
for angsr , Ho thought there was excel
lent promise for the farmers of the United
States in this direction. It wan not only
posfllbln to create hero a great industry
yielding liberal profits to those engaged
in it , but when developed it would retain
to the people of this country the vast sum
now annually paid for the sugar of other
countries. Tbat wo are a sugar-consum
ing pcoplo is shown by the faot that wo
use three billion pounds A year , only one-
tenth of which is produced in this coun
try. Tbo cost of this sugar id $100,000,000 ,
half of which amount goes out of
the country , and about one-third
of which is paid in duties.
The recent successful experiments
in nmklng'SUgar from sorghum in profit
able quantities seems to have settled the
question that sorghum-raising can bo
made In an extensive region of country a
highly advantageous industry , while it is
believed that tn California the sugar-boot
can bo most profitably cultivated. This
Is a matter which the farmers of the west
are pretty sure to find an increasing in-
crest in , and the more enterprising ot
hem should begin to think about it ut
nco. The indications are that a few
'cars ' will witness something of n rcvo-
ution in the sugar tradn of the world ,
rom which the greatest benefits will bo
secured by the United States.
Gitr.AT activity is being shown by the
English mercantile agents in Mexico in
heir efforts to got some advantage over
American merchants in that country. It
s reported that the growing exchange of
roducta by way of El Paso has dls-
urbcd the English owners of the Vera
ru/ railway nnd the English houses
which handle so largo a portion of Mcxl-
an Imports by way of VcraCruz. Asa
means of securing themselves they propose -
pose to obtain n discriminating rebate of
five per cent , of the duties on goods im
ported through Vera Cruz. The improv-
"ng trade relations between this country
and Mexico make it important that wo
shall bo placed on the most favored foot-
ng in all the tariff changes , and it is
uirdly to bo supposed that Mexico would
Diirsuc any other policy. It is the duty
of our diplomatic representatives to caro-
! ully guard our interests in this respect ,
nnd they will doubtless do so.
THE name of Mr. Udo Brachvogel ap
peared at the head of the editorial page
of the Wcsllic/icr Courier , of Omaha , in
the last issue , with the formal announce
ment by the proprietors of our bright
and enterprising German contemporary
that this eminent German-American
journalist has accepted the permanent
editorial conduct of that paper. Mr.
Brachvogel enjoys an international repu
tation as one of the foremost German-
American writers. For many years editor
of the New York liellelrischc Journal
nnd correspondent of the leading papers
in Germany , his attainments in the lit
erary ami journalistic field have received
honorable recognition on both sides of
the Atlantic. His desire to identify him
self with the growing west has impelled
him to locate in the most progressive of
far western cities. The proprietors of
the Courier and the Gorman-Americans
of Nebraska are to bo congratulated
upon the acquisition.
ALL advices from Maryland concur in
saying that the outlook for the republi
cans grows more favorable. The defec
tion of the reform democrats and the
active fight they are making against the
machine is bringing out fully all the
scandalous operations of the Gorman
gang , and a great many icspcctable dem
ocrats who were not at first favorably
disposed toward the reformers arc begin
ning to manifest sympathy with them.
Unquestionably the management of poli
tics in Maryland under Gorman has boon
as bad as it was possible to make it , and
the defeat of that thoroughly unscrupu
lous leader is greatly to bo desired in the
interest of decent politics. As ynt there
has been no sign from the administration
that it is not in full sympathy with Gor
man or will not give him whatever as
sistance it can.
LAST Saturday a whisky-bloated oil-
room bummer , wiio notoriously kept a
low dance house on lower Douglas street
for years , and who makes his living as a
jury-fixer and go-between for bribe
takers at conventions and legislatures ,
was admitted to a teat in the republican
county committee meeting on a bogus
proxy from a country precinct in which
ho never lived. The insolent harangue
of this shyster , bummer , swindler and
forger was commended by Cadet Tay
lor , who also had been snaked
into the committee under false pretenses.
This is cmencntly in accord with the
eternal fitness of things. Birds of a
feather Hock together , but it Is an elevat
ing spectacle for decent men in the com
munity that penitentiary birds should beheld
held up as models of political integrity
by a paper professing to represent great
moral ideas.
from the eastern money centers -
tors are more reassuring. A Philadelphia
paper says the banks of that city have
plenty of money to loan , and arc accom
modating their customers as readily now
as they have boon at any time during the
past four or five years. Boston also
sends out more favorable reports of the
monetary situation , and the restored
confidence in Now York seems to hold.
It is explained that one scourco of the
dillicuHy in Now York is duo to the now
law which permits the banks of the west
to keep a portion of their reserves , all of
which was hitherto deposited in
Now York , in western financial centers ,
It is not unlikely that a considerable
pressure will bo made in congress from
New York for- the repeal of this law.
How much longer does the council
propose to carry that gang of tax-eating
supernumeraries on the city pay roll ;
What excuse is there for foisting the sons
of councilman on the city at extravagant
salaries to do work which the city clerk
is hired and paid to do ? W by should the
city pay for three deputies at $150 pel
month in the city treasurer's oflico when
the charter only allows him one deputy ]
Why should the street commissioner bo
allowed to keep a small army of invalids
and pensioners on his pay roll , when
there Is no more need of them than there
is for a seventh wheel to a wagon ? Why
don't the council lop off all needless em
ployes and manage city affairs on a stncl
business basis ?

along as to make a safe estimate of those
already completed or now under way.
It is perfectly confident Hint the number
will reach nearly or quite two thousand.
Ono little district of twelve blocks in the
northeastern part of the city shows sixty-
eight new houses , while there are nearly
one hundred blocks in the southeast that

nn addition of at least ten thousand to the

About midnight yesterday Arthur and
John Kuhn , sons of a well known German
nttornoy , returned to their homo on the

them and gave them a terrible beating.
Max Kuhn , father of the boyfc , hoard the
noi.se and ran out to investigate. Ho also
was attacked by the toughs and very
roughly handled , receiving a severe
list wound on the face , which
may disfigure him for life. A cry of po
lice being made the party of roughs dis
appeared. No cause can bo assigned for
the attack. Thu boys Arthur nnd John
ire musicians and members of the A. O.

assault. John is very badly injured but
no serious results are anticipated ,
Cunning Camty Butcher.
A newly appointed candy butcher , or
peanut vender , on the B. & M. , between
this city and Lincoln , has been making
big money lately. Monday night on the
incoming train ho interviewed a German
to the extent of $13.00. His game is the
"full-change" business. For instance
when a person makes a purchase and
produces n bill of largo amount , the
"peanut" returns the exact change with
out deducting nnythiiitr for the article
bought. Then he says : "Let's see if I
gave you the right change.
I think I made a mistake. "
The money is handed back
and n pretondml recount mane , during
which a substitution of money of less
denomination is adroitly made. The
"candy butcher" in question is said to
have been nn attache of Doris & Colvin's
circus that lately exhibited here , and is
considered nn export in the business. Ho
is said to be the party who robbed n man
at Wuhoo last wcok. When Otllcers
Dempsey and Chamberlain searched the
B. & M. train yesterday morning for the
"peanut man , " they could not find him ,
and the supposition is that he went to
South Omaha and there took the B. & M.
tram. _

ble cold-headed cane , and the presenta
tion took place in the parlors of the

The Benson motor line has passed into

object there will bo a meeting of nil the
lowans of the city , at Mot/'s halt ,
this evening , for the purpose of ns-
ccrtalnjng their former residence , their
profession or business , their present ad
dress , an well as the capital brought with
them when they left Iowa. It is proposed
to show how much prohibition has lost
Iowa and how many have gone to simply
one city in Nebraska.
Counterfeit Qtmrtors.
An employe in a certain business house
on Farnair. street told a BKE reporter
yesterday that hu thought there must bo
some person in the city or vicinity who
is circulating counterfeit twenty-tivo cent
pieces , and claims that no less than six
of thcso have conic to him within the last
two days. They have a fair nppcaranoa
but the sound is defective , and they bavo
evidently been subjected to rubbing on a.
wet and dirty counter so us to make
them assume the appearance of ago. It
Ls quite likely that the experience of this
gentleman is that of a number ot
others.
Foil off tlm Train.
When train No. 4 on the Union Pacific
which reaches he'ro from the west crossed
thu bridge lust evening a man was seen
to fall from a platform of one of the cars.
There is an embankment of great height at
that point and certain death would seem
to bu the fate of a ucrson tumbling irom
a rapidly moving train to the ground
below. Search was made for thu man ,
but no remains in fact nothing could bo
found to corroborate tbu assertions of
those who are willing to say they saw the
man fall.
