The recent rapid 6xtonsion Of railroads through , the mineral fields Is bringing the mines within easy access of the markets. The influx of capital "and labor is making of that region Iho great rival of Pennsylvania. Nebraska is deeply interested in the development which is taking place on her western borders. It means for Nebraska not only ohoap fuels and minerals , but an extension of her market for agricultural produce. . THKIIE arc more Bohemian oat men coming to Nobraska. And what is mosl remarkable is the fact that farmers bite at the bait , give their notes and become victims bf one of the most transparent frauds 6vor executed. The plan o. operating the scheme condemns it. Bo- liomian oats and Red Line wheat are handled generally by the same firm of rascals , The high priced oats are no bettor than common oats itboingonco proven in Pennsylvania that a farmer had sold his crop at the market price ; an agent brought them back to him , la beled Bohemian oats , and ho paid the 810'por ' bushel. In Ohio the farmers Wore victimized out of 8100,000. The pnmo flourished 'best ' in that state eomo 'threo years ago , yet to-duy courts are declaring the business a fraudt nnd in cases \vhoro notes had not boon trans ferred the farmer escapes paying for his ONE of outIo6al contemporaries has gene to the trouble to ascertain how much building there is projected ( or the present season. The exhibit 1 ? very in teresting , but the conclusions are in correct. Tlio grand total of projected btislnosS bliildingS nnd residences , not ' including those begun last year and under dor way , is computed at $ l,800t)0 ( ) ) , but this estimate is evidently bnsod on pro jected buildings thnt have liot material ized even in the architects' olllccs. As a matter of fact only t\S'o largo and cobt- ly business blocks now In process of erection on upper Farnnm are the only buildings of any magnitude certain of being built this year. A num ber of felftros "and ware houses Will doubtless bo erected , and in the matter of residences and dwellings the prospect is very fair. The dwellings and rCsld6nco blocks to bo orootbd this year will excel these of last year both in Vnrlotyand costliness. "Whether the number of houses of this class to bo erected will exceed or fall short as com pared with the building operations of 1887 , is problematic. On the whole , wo doubt very mugh whether the quantity of brjok laid in Omaha , this year will roach thut of last year by many millions , unless work ] begins on the now Union depot , and tlio city hall building con- * Btruotlon is resumed. "With these pub- * Ho b'ulldiri'gs"under Way , luany building projects which uro held back , would ma terialize. Tlio Situation In Vljo Bintca , The dlapaloli p'd tbd in yefctordny'8 B'fciMhdwitif * W 0 Itttodlddntihl prefer ences 6f republicans in the Ilvo states of Now York , Pennsylvania , Ohio , Ilidl- nntt and Minnesota , and the cotidilion ot tlld pnrty in these stales , presented eovornl frtCU that ard Worthy of more than passing attention. Perhaps Ihd Ynos't conspicuous of these is that notwithstanding - withstanding thd twicO declared deter mination of Mri Blnino not to become a candidate tllbro nro blill republicans in nil of these slates , and a great many in Bbttld of tliomj who earnestly believe ho should bo nominated nnd nro hopeful of that result. In Now York especially ho is found to have , under the circum stances , a strong following , and in olh6r Males men wore found with whom ho is still the first choice. It is to bo sup posed that what is true of these states Would bo foun'd to dxlst in a greater otf less degree in all the other states , and ns an aviddhco bf the loyalty of Mr. tilatho s frioitds is certainly iiltorcsl- iilgt It need hardly bo said that no bthdV man 6ould UVlco hsauro Iho party that ho was out of the wosidontla rnco and still retain such n following * But this fact is to bo considered in another aspect than ns a compliment to Mr. Blalno's personal strength. What effect is this loyal following likely to hiwo upon the natloilnl convention ? Will It attempt to'mnlto itbolf felt there , and if so is there a probability that it can ex hibit sufllolont strength to accdinpllsh anything ? There can bo no doubt of the serious importance of those qllos- tions. It id perhaps not doltbtful that a largo majority of republi cans believe that Mr. Blnino sin cerely wishes not to bo n candidate and aVe disced to grlitlfy that wiah , but if there should bo a considerable minority ih the convention h6tbf this disposition nnd 'determined lo haVe Mr. BUiino at all hazards , it is easy to see that with the majority divided among numerous candidates such 0. 'pdl'slstont iriihbrity might finally accomplish its p'urposo. It would sednvovidont that ycl ? another wwval of his determination not to bo a "candidate may bo necessary from Mr. Blahio in order toiprov'ont a prosbniai : lion of his name to the convention , and \vhothor ho w6uld supply this , In View of the ample assurances lib has hlrbndy given ol his dcsiro not lo bo a' candi date , is a question * The foolijig dis closed .among republicans in the five s'tatds nam&d , and liiforentialiy existing among these of other states , presents a situation lo bo seriously considered. In the wide range of ' 'preferences shown , Dopow , Sherman 'and Lincoln haVe the best'slanding ' in the five states canvassed. Ih view of'the fact Hhat of. these Sherman.alone is an avowed can didate , the largo expression in iavor of the Others irrdifcatcs an unsettled fooling among republicans that is not entirely reassuring , if there is'anything in it that can be regarded ns favorable it is the effect it will have to assure a very thorough cahva'ss Of the availability of all who nroYmincd'as possible candi dates.But it is certainly not 'oncoUr- ' Vghife to find 'republicans anywhbre wasting their attention upon non who have declared that they do not book or desire the "ho'mthation. ' Robert Eincoln hlis "repeatedly said that under no circumstances would ho allow himsoH to bo considered a can didate , while as to Mr. Dopow every body knows that ns a presidential 'candi ' date his chances would bo hopeless out- "sldo of three or four states , and ho has Virtually said that ho could not bo elected. Is it not iibout time republi cans began to concentrate their thoughts \ipdn'tho men Who arc willing to carry the standard of the party and have some 'gohorar'aVnilabilltyi1 Sh'orman is , of coifrso , the first choice of Ohio , though it is intimated that ho may not bo able to hold this support , nnd iio has n very respectable following in the other four stat'es , showing the least strength in Minnesota. Allison shows unexpected weakness in all the five slates , ranking even below Sherman in Minnesota. Harrison exhibits no very market ! strength outside of Indiana and Ohio , and is nearly at the bottom of the list in Now York. Ilawlcy and Grcshnm show some popularity , the latter occupying .tho second place in the favor of the republicans of Minnesota. Except as to the wide divergence ol views regarding candidates , the repub licans in the five states named nro in good condition for the national battle , and wo think thisls true of the party generally. There is danger , however , as has boon shown hero in Nebraska , from the designs of unscrupulous fac tions , and the best wisdom and utmost vigilance of the unselfish nnd patriotic elements of the party will have lo bo constantly exercised everywhere to avert this danger. Senator Sherman in Scll'Dcfcnso , Senator Sherman's reply to the nu merous attacks which have been made upon his record in connection with the act of 1873 ddmonotizing the 'silver dollar lar , in his answer to the charges made by Senator Bock , was a complete refuta tion of the malicious slurs which have passed current ns to his connection with that measure. Mr. Beck attempted to prove that the act of 1873 was passed through congress by stealth and that Senator Sherman was chiefly responsi ble for the success of the trick. Ho de clared that Judge Kelley , who had charge of the bill ln the house , know nothing of its certain effects ; that Mr. Blnino , the speaker , know nothing ol it ; that General Garilold know nothing of it ; that the president who signed the btll know nothing of it , nnd that Senator Sherman himself was the only ono who , with his previous financial knowledge , was cognisant of the results upon our currency which the passage ol that measure was certain to produce. Senator Sherman's reply was unnn- BWorablo and conclusive , nnd completely demolished the fabric which the sena tor from Kentucky hud constructed. Ho produced the original bill as it came ftom the Committee on finance , of which ho was chairman , and proved from its very text that the clause whose after effect it is charged demonetized the silver dollur , was not only contained in it but \n\a so plainly expressed that ho who ran could road. He showftd frpm the records that the biU when it wont to the c'Qinmlttoo uas accompanied by .otters from the director of Iho mint ftnd from Mr. Kiiox , comptroller of the cufrtJiidyj in Which they called special attention lo the very provision which i9 jlow Objected to , and recommended the coinage of. n token sdbllor < with a legal ender limit to flvp dollars. Sonntor 3honnan demonstrated that bbforo the bill finally passed congress it wnS lirlntod ho loss Uiairtliif tcdn ttmos and thnt at each time it 'contained the pro-1 vision for a token dollar of limited legal tollddr. Ho provdd" beyond question that cvdn before the binpasscd the s'on- oto cdplos Voro sent to lead ing bankers and financiers through out the country , and that the logislaturd of Califdrntn sent a peti tion requesting that instead of the tokdn dollar n trade dollar should bo substituted , nnd that it Was upon this petition , booked by \inltcd\oicc of Iho Pacific const delegation , that tliO ti'ado dollar weighing 420 grains was substituted * With these facts so clearly presented , sustained by the record and supported by copies of the prints of thd day and the reports of the c6inihllloo which Senator Shdrmnn presented , ho asked whoso fault it was if nny senator br representative did not know of the legislation ddmOndtlidng the silver doj- lar in 187 . So far as its effects in lle- mdndtiZingBilvdrworo concerned , Son ntor Sherman prdtbstcd that noilhdr ho nor linyono else at the time Was able to fbrsco a change in commercial condi tions which would reduce the silver dollar lar , then worth 3 per Cent moro than the gold dollar , to its present status , when it is nearly JJO per cent below par On the Htlino basis of comparison. Mr. Shoririan's speech Wns oh6 "ot Iho very best which that distinguished financier has ever inado Upon the sub ject , in whoso discussion ho is the ad mitted loader in this country. It com pletely demolishes the charge which up to the present time ho has ecdrit fully refused to consider , namely , that by trickery and stealth ho of all the mem bers of the congress which passed the act of 1873 know that the certain bITcct of its passage would bo to lotoor" the relative value of the silver dollar and to that extent ddprdciuto its purchasing power. . . . . . . Two Two of the objectionable fdaturos of Randall's tariff bill , which illustrate- auntod'groat principle of rog'ulnting dutiesat3 thb-proposod increase of the tariff on tiniplatos and cotton , ties. Last car there was imported in round fig ure's. & 70000000 ; pounds Of tin plate t yielding a revenue of $5,700,000. In ap- .plying his principle to this case ) Mr. Randall firehoses ah increase of the duty , so as to at once chock 'importa- ti&hs and reduce the 'rovdnuo. ' Ho as sumes that the advanced 'duty will not 'hurt ' the corisumsrs of tin plates , since 'competition will-spring up'to'lbwor the price. "But what guarantee ib there that a trust will hot maintain thb > price j and oveiu , were there to bo no restriction upon competition would it not take 'years before 570- 000,000 pdunds of tin pinto c6uld 'bo manufactured in this country ? Mean time is it not' plain1 that every user of tin for domestic purposes , for canning , and for all ether _ purposes for which it Is employed "would bo"compclled to pay the additional duty , 'which would bo simply sb much tribute to the manufac turers ? The whole benefit of the in- cr'enscd duty would go to the'm , hoithor the 'government nor the people deriv ing any adva'ntago from it. Another example of Mr. Randall's grciit principld is in cotton tics. These cost abroad 61.20 -pound , and the pres ent duty is 35 per cent in value. Mr. Randall proposes thatrtho duty shall boone ono cent a pound , or about 83 per cent of value. Calling the average weight of cotton tics used in a bale of cotton ten pounds , the increased duty would * impose an additional tax upon the colton - ton crop of the country of seven hundred thousand dollars annually , nil of which ) , ho planters would have to lose , but which would go to swell the gains of the already wclljprotocted manufacturers. Mr. Randall's principle is admirably adapted to Pennsylvania , but it doesn't Work well when applied to the rest of the country. Its limited scope will bo fatal to it. WHEN the city hall Injunction suit was before the court , Webster and Has- call , who acted as attorneys for the council , assured the court that they had no intdntlon of changing the city hall site , or of abandoning that portion of the basement which had already boon constructed. They put upon the wit ness stand half a dozen members of the council , each of whom swore point blank that ho did not intend to change the city hall location. Councilman Lowry swore that hp had lakon no slops for removing the city hall 'from its present Bite , nnd had no intention of moving it. Councilman Ford swore that his motion to adopt a resolution introduced by Cbunsman to ro-locato tlio city hall to Jefferson Square was only intended ns n joke , Bcchol nnd Lee each very emphatically dis claimed of any intention to change the location. Several other members of the council Were equally outspoken. And nowMr. Hubcall who delights in .fo menting trouble nnd turmoil , proposes to renew the agitation. The question 3s , will a majority of the council follow his lead into another 'disreputable schema which Will entail expenses upon taxpayers , delay building enterprises nnd cannot fall to materially damage the prosperity of Omuha ? It now re mains to bo soon whether couricilmon who on the witness stand disclaimed any intention of changing the location of the city hall will deliberately violntd their oaths by assisting Hascall to carry on his spite work. Mil. PAteL MOK'fOK , the general pas senger ngontof the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy , has placed the BEK under obligations for advanced copies of the dally icditipns issued by his literary bu reau. This shoot is circulated broad cast as public opinion. It contains press comments on the strike of the engineers , but we regret to say that wo fail to no tice any extracts from the Omaha BKK. Editor Morton has confined himself to clipping from papers like tho. Lincoln fctnttctf , Burlington J/atrJteyfc and other obtcrurbiug , neyspapors which subsist largely upon railroad patronage.

Mr. Henry Wollman , a former resi dent of Nebraska , how living in Sacra mento , Gal. , has given the San 'Fran cisco Examiner a tall and lurid tale of a pig's tail as a thermometer of cyclones and thunder storms. Ono day William and his sons had slain n half -dozen or bicular pigs for the family winter tooth , and had suspended the mortal parts by the heels , deficdgcd and shaven clean , butnoteviscoratod. Whilont this work , at some distance from the dwelling , they saw a cyclone cloud spinning across the country in * , their direction , and ran to the house as hard as they could hook it and the whole family tOolc to thd collar. The cyclone spared the house , however , but when they wont to look after the pork it had evanished thence in the howling of the storm und the scone of their labors was a wreck and a desolation. "While trying in im agination to piece together a disrupted outbuilding from such parts of its debris as ho could recognize , Mr. Williams was startled by a cry from ono of his sons , and turning saw something that sot up his hair. A few yards away , advancing toward them ns if about to resume its pendent position on a beam no longer in place , was all that was mortal of a plucked and shaven pig. From tlio button on its nose to the terminus of its tail it was as white nnd smooth as ivory. Out of the rack and ruin of the storm , this apparition moved toward them lilco a beautiful sad memory out of the past. The Wollmans are bravo men they sny so themselves ; but the evidence that they wont away from there with- nimbloncss appears to bo decisive. Later investigation in a' cooler moment proved that the pig was not of these "which they had murdered that morn ing , but was ono which they had spared for subsequent assassination. It had been caught by the prince of the power of the air nnd deprived of every bristle without additional ffijury. AMOSISMiaXTS.

The familiar fnco of Mr. Auch-Mocdy , recently so near dentil's door , wns seen In Itsncfiustomcd place , nnd ho slgnnllzcd his return to Work with ono ot hla * pntrlotio resolutions , thU time making provisions for putting the stars nnd stripes on the tower of the high school. Tlio absentees Were Messrs. Fcltbn nnd Llvoscy. Applications for positions nstcachors from Snrnh G. Cnrsbn , Mrs , E. D. Hucstls. Miss Ida Hurrows nnd 1J. llogcrs were referred. A proposition from Herman ICCmntzo ns tea a school slto in Kounlza place wns referred. A proposition from J. W. Day In regard to furnishing shade ti-cos wns referred. A cOmmuhlcatl&n frdni the special com- hilttco on city Jnll ot the city council nna K. O'Koofovtis received offering $10,000 for the Dodge street school. This called out n long discussion. Mr. Gray wniitcd to know wlmt would bo done with the children who attend the school , nnd hskod Superintendent James how mnn.v and what kind ot children at tended thnt school nud'Wllat could bo done with them , Mr. Jnmcs snld there were between tliroo hundred and fourliuhdrod children enrolled , nil of whom , cnmo from below Fifteenth and. almost nil of them from below Thirteenth street. Most of the children lived In the immediate vicinity of the school , mainly on the north. The present dally attoudnuco was between 250 nhd 280. Fifty or sixty ot these could bo accommodated at the Cass school. The Jnckson street school might also nccoin- tnodato n fow. The PAolflo nnd Leaven- Worth schools wcro too full to accommodate nuy moro pupils. The distance to the high "school Was tob fur nnd there was lie room for them there anyway. This would leave about two hundred chllorcn unprovided for. The parents t > f the pupils who nttcuded the Dodge school wcro strangely satisfied with1 its pres ent locality. Mr. Cark ) said thnt if the school hbuso wns sold , the board would hhvo to go west of "Six teenth street for a slto , nnd'mcntlbnCU the Snyder corner , seventeenth and ) Capitol avenue , as the only available point ho now \tno\v \ ot. Mr. Morrlsbn'sntd that there was' but ono i reason why the school should bo ( removed from that placo. nnd that was to get the jico- plo to lenve that locality entirely , On nCc&u'nt , of the Immoral surroundings. Mr. Gray said a great many of the people lii that locality wore roiiutnblo ticoplo , who resided Whore they did bccauso it was'handy to their work nud the rent was consistent with their means. The rents Were higher further out nnd It'wns ' unfair to cause them to move. If the locality was n bad one , for that very reason a school Is needed there. Oirmotionot'Mr. McConnell the matter was referred to u special committee ot five. The chairman appointed "Messrs. Clnrk , Sholes , Gray , Morrison and Cop61anil oa that committee. Mr. Copolaml moved a reconsideration of the action of the board lasLweck in awarding the contract for steam pipes for tho'Wcbstcr school to the A. L , tit rang company.
