ViADl't'TS across railroad tracks and
telegraph nnd other wires undorffround
tire the crying needs that Omaha tnuat
und will havo.
KHKPyour eyes wide open and attend
your ward caucus. The city-campaign
will bo ono of honesty and brains. Only
clean men arc wanted in the council.
CHICAGO is looking forward lo an
underground street railroad. From
general appearances everything1 in Chicago
cage is now on the underground plan.
Tin- : Council Illuffe hoard of trade is
bonding its energies toward securing a
union depot. That is more than can bo
Raid of the leading business men of
Omaha.
TIIK contract 1ms at lust been lot for
closing the unsightly gaps iu our side
walks with stone. Property owners
have had sullicicnt time to make the
permanent improvement , and now the
city will finish the work.
TIIK mountaineers of West-Virginia
nro evidently in no hurry to send in
their election returns. In the mean
while both parties claim the state and
the country stands with its hands in its
pockets to see who comes out ahead.
O ALONGSIDE of the rise in wheat comes
the intelligence of the organization of
an oatmeal trust. It was an opportunity
apparently which the oatmeal millers
could not resist t'o enhance prices and
Hqueexe the long suffering people out of
several millions.
WITH the lesson of the recent election
fresh in their minds , the republicans
who want to elect their candidates to the
city council two weeks hence , will sco
to it that challengers' stationed at
every [ loll to keep off repeaters and pre
vent men. who are not voters in the
wards from having their ballots ac
cepted. '
No CONTrtACTOKS' combine should be
por'mltted to control the next council.
Omaha wants public improvement's next
year , and , she is willing to pay for thorn
all they are worth. But contractors
tihould not be allowed to .tamper with
the council and the board of public
works. They should bo hold rigidly to
tjio faithful performance of their con-
racts.
.V a railroad is built frarn Man-
dan to Hapid City the people of south
western Dakota will bo placed in coin-
iminication with their own coal fields.
Hitherto they hnvo beoa dependent
upon the coal of Wyoming , owned by
the Union Pacific , and transported by
that road for the greater part of the
way. This made it como high , and
wood has bean burned until nearly all
the hills are denuded of their natural
necessary vegetation. Upon moro ac
counts than ono the contemplated line
is urgently needed.
Wn do not hoar much about the po-
trolotim of some of our neighbors in the
territories , and yet it is n subject of vast
interest to pinnha and Nebraska , and
indeed to this whole region. The oil of
Florence , Colorado , is being obtained in
sultloient quantities for homo purposes ,
but very little is sent either to Now
Mexico or to any neighboring point.
There is no topic on which less is written ;
in the local press of the northwest ter
ritories , and there is not ono which
promises to bo of the same great and
permanent importance.
Tun national board of trade , comM -
] M > scd of roprosonlatlvo luminous men of
the country , has just closed its annual
Bossion at Chicago , The association
took up tire discussion of itinny practical
subjects , and recommended on the part
of congress needed reforms , An oxpres-
uion of opinion from this body on trade ,
commerce , transportation , tlnnnco and
legislation is valuable , and will undoubt-
udly receive attention. Among the Im
portant topics discussed were the evils
and the necessary remedies to prevent
the adulteration of lard and other food
products ; the mo unco to business interests -
osts by the existence of ox-
cosslvo taxation und a surplus ;
the necessity of a merchant ma
rine , and the ways and moans by which
transportation can be cheapened. In
the proper solution of thesa problems
not alone the business community , but
thu pooulo at large are deuuLv intor-
FBAttS.
If wo may judge from the lone of a
majority of the southern nowspaperst
the people of the south regard the re
turn of the republican party to power
with grave fears. Quo of the loading
papers of that section , generally careful
and cdnscrvativo in its views , expresses
the belief that the republican party will
legislate for the supervision of southern
elections by federal machinery , and , if
necessary , by federal bayonets. It also
professes to think that representation
in the electoral college will bo based ,
not on population , but on the average
vote cast for a series of years in con
gressional elections , thus diminishing
the strength of the south in the elec
toral college. The journal which pro
fesses to bo apprehensive of these con-
si'rjuences of republican rule in the
government advises the democrats ot
the south to stand together , to the end
that they may manage their own affairs ,
even if denied participation in the
nifairs of the country at largo.
There is n confession in these fears.
Those who entertain them well know
that they have offended , and they
know what they would do in n
like case had they the power
to punish. Hut their fears are
baseless. The republican party docs not
contemplate punishing the -011111 , or
pursuing toward that section any policy
that shall not apply equa-lly to every
other section. As fully now : i * at any
other 'timo in its existence it is a
national party , and whatever it may do
will bo done with reference to the
highest good of the whole people. The
south has persistently done wrong in
suppressing the republican vote of that
section , and it enjoys a power in the
government very much greater than it
has a right to on the vote that it casts.
Hut the republican party has no wish
noc intention to punish the south
for these wrongs. Its inllucnco and
efforts will undoubtedly bo directed to
the task of inducing the southern people
ple to improve their political methods
and do justice to the paoplo who arc
now treated with injustice , but the
force employed will be wholly moral in
its character. The policy of the now
administration toward the south will bo
identical with its policy toward the
north , toward the cast and toward the
west. It could not do otherwise and
maintain the character of the re
publican organization as a na
tional party , while on the nar
row ground of political expediency
it could not afford to have a distinct
policy for the south.
Wo believe the now administration
will have a great , opportunity in the
south , and shall not bo surprised to find
General Harrison pursuing a course of
such friendly interest in that section as
will produce most satisfactory results
four years hence. The southern people
are capable of reasoning , and a very
considerable n Umber of them are oven
now convinced that the political solidity
of that section , secured as it is
by a denial of the most sa
cred right of thousands of citizens ,
is rather a disadvantage'than n benefit
to the south , besides being really ar
menace to-tho republic. The number
who feel in this way must bo increased ,
and we have no uoubt it will bo the ef
fort of the administration to do this.
There is no need of additional legisla
tion , nor will any active interposition of
the government be required. The in
fluence to be exerted will bo of that
character which will win respect .and
create confidence , and wo believe all the
conditions are favorable to the success
of a friendly , conciliatory and gen
erous policy toward the south a policy
that will reassure the thousands in that
section , particularly of the new genera
tion of voters , who do not want to con
tinue on the old bourbon lines , but are
held there by the apprehension that
republican success must inevitably
bring with it political calamity to the
south. When the younger voters of
the south see that their fears have been
groundless and that they have been
misled by their .seniors , there will
begin a departure from the old iines
that will bring to a speedy termination
the political solidity of that section. It
is to the accomplishment of this , by
pursuing a policy that will reassure the
southern people and win their cor.-
lldeifte , , that the now .administration
may bo expected lo address itself , and
there is good reason to hope for excel
lent results.
CAU1XKT
It is reported from Indianapolis that
General Harrison has not invited any
body lo enter his cabinet , and this is
doubtless true. It is not yet two weeks
since the election and it will bo moro
than three months before the president
elect will take his seat. While it is
quito probable tb.at General Harrison
has given some thought to the subject
of his cabinet , it is not likely that ho
has come to a decision as to any ono of
hisofilclal household. It is n matter
to which ho will give very care
ful deliberation with a view
both to surrounding himself
with men in whom ho can liitvo entire
confidence , und whoso selection will
fully satisfy theparty. . There are so
many available men from whom to
choose , ouch having special and strong
claims' to recognition , that Cionorul
Harrison must feel the necessity and
the obligation of giving thorough con
sideration to botli the individual and
the local recommendations of each of
thorn. He might galoot a cabinet in an
hour that would bo acceptable to the
country , by following simply his own
I preferences , but ho will desire the coun
sel of trusted party loaders , as well as to
acquaint himself with public opinion and
this will take timo. While- , therefore ,
it Is not doubled that General Harrison
boa given the subject of his cabinet
Homo thought , and unquestionably has
preferences , it is cosy to believe that
ho has not tendered a position to npy
ono und probably has not decided upon
any one.
Meantime ho is not permitted to feel
a want of suggestions if ho is in the
habit of reading the newspapers. The
cabinet-makers of the prons are busy ,
nnd already there have boon names
enough proHsod | to make a dozen cabl-
nols. It is highly' probable that some
of those will bo in the now adminis
tration' but necessarily the great major
ity of them will not bo , and very likely
there willbosomodlsnppointrnents. The
country , however , has confidence that
General Harrison will proceed In this
matter with the wisdom and discretion
that he has been shown to jwssoss , and
there need bo no doubt that the men
who will administer the affairs of the
several departments of the government
during the four years succeeding the
fourth of next March will bo capable ,
experienced in public affairsnnd worthy
of the popular confidence. And they
will probably represent in just proportion
tion all sections of the country.
LAWS.
The revision of our divorce laws has
recently been suggested by ono of our
prominent attorneys. The weakest
spot in the divorce laws of the state is
said to bo the facility with which di
vorces can bo procured under existing
statutes , which permit any person nftor
a residence of six months to apply for a
bill of divorce. The revision as sug
gested makes a residence of at least
two years necessary before an action
for divorce- shall lie. It is quite evi
dent that the member of the bar inter
ested in improving our statutes is not
so well versed in law as ho might be.
I'Yom a constitutional point of view , it
would be nn nnomtily to extern ! the
length of residence necessary for
an action in divorce to two years ,
when the statutes o' the state
grant full rights of citizenship after a
residence of six months. Clothing a
person with full oiti/enship gives him
the power to exorcise the right of suing :
for divorce. This principle Is inviolable
in every state of the union. No state
constitution requires n longer residence
to institute divorce proceedings than it
takes to acquire the rights of suffrage.
The western states adopted asix months'
residence for citi/.enship in order to invite -
vito immigration. That is the reason
why divorce proceedings can be begun
nftor a residence of six months in Nel
braska. But it must not bo nrc-.sup-
posed that because of this fact our di
vorce laws are loose and our courts arc
divorce mills. The laws of the state
are ample to protect the innocent and
are hedged about with legal restrictions
to pro vent fraud. The application for
divorce after a six months' residence in
the state is merely the first step in the
complicated procedure. The petition
must bo advertised and given the widest
publicity. Proof must be forthcoming ,
witnesses examined and the defendant's
pica entertained. Finally , when a de
cree absolute has been given.another
six months must elapse before either
party to the suit can marry again , and
the court always reservjs for itself Iho
power to revoke the decree at any time.
All these proceedings make dolny.
A year at least must run ftom
the time a person takes up his residence
in Nebraska to hissubsequent marriage.
It is safe to sr.y that the average divorce
suit hangs in our courts many montns
before the judges are willing to grant
an tinnullinent of marriage. It would
seem therefore that our statutes on di
vorce are as satisfactory as the statutes
of other states , and n'o changes at pres
ent are necessary. .

So i.oxo'as Dakota remains as a terri
tory the lands set apart for school pur
poses cannot be utilized , and all the ex
penses of the public school system have
to bo met by tax levies. This item of
expense has been particularly hard
upon some sections of Dakota , and has
boon sulliciently severe upon the moro
favored portions. That Dakota has
bravely and unllinchingly berne this
burden is immensely to her credit. In
spite of the disadvantages .tinder which
she labors , she has considered good
schooling so paramount a feature in
American communities that she has
taxed herself heavily to provide for the
higher education necessary to a popula
tion but little short of three-quarters of
a million. There have , been instituted
and maintained high schools , special
colleges and universities in addition to
the regular system of public schools.
This question of the ivlmission of the
northwest territories is of itself suf
ficient reason for a special session , and
should it bo decided to call one for that
purpose no community will r.ioro heart
ily congratulate Dakota than the citi-
Kcns of Omaha. When Dakota becomes
a state she will have at her disposal for
school purpose ? lands wliO'se value exceeds -
ceods twenty-five millions of dollars.
The relief to the taxpayers will there
fore bo very great.
THU English are buying wheat ex
tensively in San Francisco and Tacoma ,
where the price is lower than at
Atlantic points of shipment , because
the railroad transit is much shorter.
They are also buying at Odessa , In the
Black Son. The farmers of the north
west need not bo frightened because so
little wheat is being shipped 'from our
own points. The Knglish are in a hole ,
and must buy of us when other supplies
are exhausted , which will bo soon
enough. Should a war break out , and
It appears to be imminent , the English
buyers would bo in a panic and all the
orders would como in at once. The
king of Belgium'who is conslderod the
wisest sovereign in Europe , within the
past few days expressed his apprehen
sion of coining trouble , nnd notified his
ministers that they must promiro the
little kingdom for the coming storm.
The rivalry of Austria and Russia in
the south and the determination of
1 Unman ) ] : to annex Luxemburg to Ger
many will bring about a contest that
will last for years , nnd that will defi
nitely change the map of Europe. The
price of wheat must go up.
THK weather for the past two weeks
has boon uncommonly Uuo for gather
ing Nebraska's great corn crop. There
has not boon for seasons a November
when the conditions were so favorable.
Fears wtro entertained in the early
part of the month that severe frosts
would nip the standing corn , too green
nnd soft for cribbing. But all dangers
kom frosts are now happily over. The
corn is , from reliable reports , ripe nnd
hard , nnd in prime couaitlon. No state
has made better progress than ours or
is likely to commence thu movement of
the now crop earlier. Fully fifty per
cent of the corn is out of tbo Jleld uud
gone into the crib ready for shipment.
Farmers avu looking forward to a good
market , nn'd the shipment of corn Is
likely to begin this month and keep up
until the holidays. With the certainty
of shipping th # heaviest corn crop over
known in N.cbrnska , the prospects nro
indeed bright. ' It will bo a busy time
for the farmer , for the railroad , for the
merchant , rn short , for everybody.
Long live kihg corn.
Ni\vs comes from New Orleans that
the sugar cduo.crop will ba very light ,
for there is ft' ' falling off in the arou
planted , nmVtlfo canes are light and
dry. Perhaps when sugar is not so
highly protected the laud owners of
Louisiana will go into some other in
dustry more congenial to the soil.
Canes have to bo planted iu Louisiana
two years out of three , in Cuba , once
only in eight years ; in the Fiji
islands the cane replants itself continu
ously. The same fact has been observed
in San Domingo , where good cano is
produced year after year without re
planting and has done so for nearly a
hundred years.
DUSI.MTK the fact that it is a losing
game , the eastern butchers of New
Yovk and MassitchusetU are still trying
to discourage the sale of western dressed
beef in their markets. It has been a
lonsr struggle for them , and in the end
they will have to yield to the inevitable.
The consumer of the east can find no
fault with western dressed .beef. Ho is
satisfied with the quality and the
price of our packed meats. So long as
beef can bo laid down at the consumer's
floor cheaper than It 'can bo dressed by
the local butchers , ho will prefer it in
the face of the hue and cry raised
it.

American GirlH.
Dr. E.V. . Jonks , of Detroit , recently
read before a gathering of physicians a
paper discussing the question of the
education of American girls , as affect
ing the nation's future. The common
assertion that American women are not
as healthy as those of Europe , could , in
the doctor's opinion , hardly be denied.
The average standard among the women
pf our country to-day is far below what
it has boon in the past. The deterior
ation of their physical health since the
days of their Puritan mothers has been
very marked , but it is not confined to
the wealthy or ultra-fashionable alone.
Nervous , hysterical school girls
are found in the mechanic's
cottage as well as in the
millionaire's mansion. The doctor
does not believe that American women
have duprcr-iiilcd in personal beauty
and attractiveness , but in physical
strength and power of endurance. Tlio *
mind Is cultivated to the neglect of tlio
body. IIo believes that the remedy is
in education in its broadest sense. Pa-
foiits , teachers and preachers have
shown themselves capable of caring for
Ihc moral and intellectual parts of the
education , but the physical part , though
equally important , in mainly loft to shift
for itself without properguidance. Were
girls more fully impressed with the sense
of duty they awe to themselves and tlio
nation'for whoho future they are respon
sible , the physical condition of Ameri
can would bo vastly improved.
Street linllwny Traffic.
Ilerr von Liiidhoiin , of Vienna , has
been looking up the international stat
istics of street railroads , and many of
the facts and figures which ho has col
lected nro interesting. This method of
street transit was adopted in this
couijtry ton years before it was intro
duced on the other side of the Atlantic ,
and there arc in Knropo only 1221 street
railways , against (18S ( enterprises of this
character iu the United States. Great
Britain and Ireland have " 17 street rail
ways and Germany forty-seven. Hlntis-
tioH as to the number of passengers car
ried by the American street railways
in proportion to the population of the
respective cities where they exist are
not given , but in Berlin 87.11 per cent of
the iniiabltants use the trainways , while
London is credited with only J50.0U per
cent , the underground roads and
ojnnihuH lines providing for the passen .
ger tralllo of the most thicltlv populated
parts of the capital. According to Ilorr
von Lindhoim Iho opinion gains ground
more and mnro in Kttropo that the
ownership of street railroads should no
longer bo intrusted to private compa
nies , but should be controlled bv the
municipality , us is the case with the
water supply , the sewerage and other
public works , On this aide of the
water it is a matter of congratulation
that the munlcljml bodies of our largo
cities are exercising moro care in tlia
granting of valuable concessions and
franchltes. In smaller cities liUe
Springfield , it is pretty well understood
that the interests of the public and of
those common curriers IB identical. In
fact , the muniulpal authority is suf-
llciont at any time to ruin the value of
thu franchise conferred.

LINCOLN' , Nov. 13. I
The supreme court reconlly hoard a
cause on a writ ot mandamus from Oleo
county that contains a morsel of inter
esting history. The case , entitled , The
Htato ox rcl Morgan Cox vs llaulon et
al , was joined under peculiar , circum
stances. Last spring at the municipal
election the light In the village of Dun-
bar between the "wot and dry" crowd
was very bitter. The count , however ,
developed the fuel that a majority of
the Gitlxous of the place were in favor
of the saloon. Hut the victory was not
overwhelming. Hev. Kiddle and Stew
art Kraneis , prohibition candidates for
village trustees , wore elected , and
"fttrninst" tliom Thomas llaulon , .loo
Snyder and T. Senrbougli. Still the
prohibs were hopeful and the other fol
lows determined.
The iintl-lioenso crowd banked on the
belief that a majority of the resident
"free holders" would refuse to sign the
necessary petitions for license. Peti
tions were circulated , and it seemed
that the town would stand "dry" in
spite of the expressed will of a majority
of the voters at the ballot box. The is
sue was squarely made for oraguinst sa
loons in the village. The try , try ugaiii
policy was adopted , but the ghost refused -
fused lo down in spite of persistency
and persuasion. Ingenuity was then
brought into play. A small parcel ot
ground within the village limits was
purchased , and deeded to some of the
follows not averse to the "jam-
boroe" or bacchanalian revel , and the
deed was done. Petitions were properly
signed and at the regular meeting in
June the village board mot to settle the
issue , but the license members had become - '
como too aggressive lobe cautious. The
anti-license members had put their
heads together and mapped out a plan
of action. It was a game of ono sur
rounding six but it worked to a charm.
\Vlien tlio meeting was called to order
the preliminary business was speedily
settled. The question of _ questions was
action upon the application of Mr.
Snyder for alicen.se to sell malt , vinous
and spirituous liquors within .the cor
porate limits of the village until the
1st day of May , 1889 , as a bover-
age. Mr. Francis quietly took the
lloor and gravely said : "Mr. Chair
man , I move you that Mr. Snydcr's ap
plication for a license to sell liquors or
intoxicating beverages within this city
bo not granted. " The ayes and nays
were taken and the motion was declared
to be lo-5t. Two votes were for and
throe against it. The opposing forces
eyed each other and ominous silence
reigned. It looked on the surface as
though the prohibs had been check
mated. But without any evidence of
perturbation Mr. Francis again moved
that tlie board do now adjourn. It car
ried unanimously , and the members of
the board of trustees quietly meandered
homeward. RSmembor , now , the
vote for license at the meet
ing of the board had only
been put negatively. The seal of
nHirrimtlon had not been given. An
utllrmativo motion was not even made.
Confident that they had voted license
to Mr. Snyder a formal demand was
made upon Mr. Kiddie , cleric of the
village board , the next day for the
nccoHsury indenture , but he quietly re
fused to prepare or provide it , quietly
stating that no such authority had been
given to him at the late meeting of the
board. This caused venom and ire. It
seemed for a time that gobs of gore
must How. To make a long story short ,
the three members favoring saloons
mot and granted the license , and Mr.
Snyder commenced business. Litigation
followed. The case was fought in justice
courts. It was fought on the streets and
in the stores. It wad fought with bare
knuckles. Whisky , however , was sold.
Dunbar was wet , not dry. But the pro
hibs kept picking away. Their cause
on a writ of mandamus was brought before
fore the supreme court , and on hearing
was maintained and the costs taxed to
the village board. Armed with the
necessary papers HaililT Lobingier yes
terday went down to Onnbar to servo
the order of the court upon the village
trusteo.s , restraining the issuance of li-
consa for saloons , and to collect the
costs. Lobingier taxed hits ingenuity ,
succeeded in bagging the ducats , ubwit
