TIIKUK IH hope for reformation it : Chicago sitico tlio White Caps have taken tlio aldermen in liund. IT is n healthful sign when the labor element of our city takes action to reform our municipal electioi methods. Mr. Blaine goes to Washing' ton to look for n house , some people have the idea that ho is going to move into the cabinet. Tins official head of Kansas City's postmaster was cut clean oil by Grovoi Cleveland's axe. And now tlio cy.y . on the Kuw sits in ashes and saoliclolh. THAT part of the governor's message which relates to the Omaha police nut J\rn commission should bo read by ovorj citizen of our city. It commends itself , ITVVOUID bo well if the rule whicl Governor Thayer has laid down foi himself in making a selection of proper oHlcials would be folio wed by tno author ities of Omaha. ALTHOUGH five-sixths of the people ol Dakota are In favor of division and ad mission of/ the territory as two states the other sixth is making considerable trouble in opposing the majority. Wnir.ii ! the territories are making Strenuous effort ? to come Into the union the strange spectacle is witnessed of the gentile population of Utah unanimously protesting against statehood for that ter rltory. Tins legislature cannot net too promptly in following out the recom mendation of Governor Thayer in pass ingn stringent registration law. Omn.hr lias suffered already too long from tin abuses of lax election laws. THE government has at last taker notion against the timber robbers of the Northern Pacific railroad , who for years Jiavo despoiled the public domain of bullions of dollars worth of timber. I' la more than probable that the North- urn Pacific will bo made to disgorge. GOVKKNOH LAUUAUEE wont out o Ills way as a guest of the state to advise the Nebraska legislature to enact pro hibition. It is related in one of yEsop's famous fables that a fox who once Ios1 his tail in n trap advised all the other foxes to cut their tails off short. EX-GENKUAL MANAQKU CALL A WAY , of the Union Paoiflo , backs up President Charles Francis Adams' statement U the oiToct that railroad inanagomon' ' has sunk to a low state of morals. Un doubtedly Mr. Callaway could give interesting torosting romouisconccs to the point ll ho would. THE reduction of the national debt for the six months of the fiscal year ending ir pocombor waanbout thirty-ono millions Ave hundred thousand dollars. If thii average is maintained to the close o the fiscal year , Juno 30 , tire debt rcduc- tiou will fall short of the estimate oi Secretary Pah-child , who computed the reduction at over one liundrqd millions Tnu state of Missouri Is in an enviable condition financially , and her people ftro not burdened by any such tax Icvj RS that in Nebraska. The facts shown In the annual mc.s.-iago of the govoruot Of Missouri relating to state expoudli turoa indicate careful and economical management , and the governor eayi that with the increase in the next general oral assessment the tax levy can b < further reduced. The effect of this wisi and prudent policy in the ndinlnlstm tlon of the state government of Missour lias boon greatly to 'the advantage o the material prosperity of that state. BBFOHK Mr. Caldwell Is made chair man of the judiciary committee of the lioueo , lot him clear his skirts of hi : camlulous intrigues while ho was t Diombor of the judiciary committee ol the lust housci of representatives. Lol him enlighten the legislature and tht people of this state- about the clan destine Interviews ho had will Omaha and Lincoln gamblers when the bill to make gambling a felony was before the legislature ) . That conspiracy Is outlawed now und some of the ox- gamblers on whom the raid was being made by.vc'inil legislators , uro at llbortj to shod daylight on those mysterious juidnljht Interviews. Governor Thnyor devoted the grcstitci part of his inaugural address to tin subject of freeing the ballot from nl corrupting inlluencos. flo appears t < feel very earnestly that there is iirgeul necessity for drastic legislation to secure cure nnrl maintain the purity of the bal lot , and ho makes plain the reasot for giving such prominence t < this matter in his inaugural wlini he states that in the late political eanv paign In Nebraska there was dovolopei a degree of venality ajid corruption which was astounding. "It wouli' seem , " said the governor , "ai though the bold scheme wa : planned of buying irp iilmos the whole slate , for money to cor rupt the voters was sent into over , ; county. Tlio attempted capture of this state by wholesale pollution of the oloc live franchise was the boldest und the most dnsttmlly bt'homo of political cor ruptioii ever attempted in this wosterr land.1' This is a very grave charge which it is presumed the gore-mot would not make without the most trust worthy information. If it bo true i certainly presents nn argument tha docs not require any rhetorical bolsterIng - Ing in favor of such changes in the election laws as will render its repeti tion impossible , livery citizen recog ni7.es the ghoat importance of a pun mid honest ballot , and if It has boei demonstrated that existing laws are no sulllciont to secure such a ballot , th duty of the legislature is obvious. Am pier safeguards and soberer penalties must bo provided. It is well to remark that the questioi of electoral reform , with reference te guarding against the corruption of the ballot'is not confined to Nebraska , The evil to bo removed is widespread practically national in its extent. Tin messages ot governors so far submittc ( nil refer to it and assign the subject i place of first importance among the qticstionsdomandingtho attention of tin legislatures. Electoral corruption ii all its forms appears to have been prac ticed as freely in democratic Missouri as in republican Nebraska , and the governor of the former state as earn estly as the executive of the latter calls upon the legislature to provide a cur < for the evil. It is not questioned tha there was more or less corruption in al of the states , and in some of them ( great deal more than in this state showing a general want of adequate laws for securing and maintaining i pure ballot. Such a state of affairs is un deniably pregnant with danger- out political system. There could be nc more serious menace to popular govern ment , and patriotic men of all parties should unite in an endeavor to remove the evil. There appears to bo a quite general purpose to effect needed reforms , Massachusetts has a law that will gc into effect next year from which the most satisfactory results are expected The election reform bill which posset the New York legislature at its last ses sion , and was vetoed by the governor has boon acain introduced in ar amended form , while in Other state : this matter is being discussed with re form in view. It cannot very well IK ignored t > y the legislature of Nebrnskr after the presentation of the subjoc which the governor has made. Grant ing that corruption was not so llagran and widespread in this state as alleged it was still 'demonstrated that the laws are inadequate for the prevention o corruption , and must therefore bo made stronger.In the movement that is tak ing place for electoral reform and the purilication of the ballot Ncbrask : should bo found in full und earnest sym patliy. OMAHA AKD SIOUX CITY. Omaha has a great deal to learn fron some of her loss pop ulous but more act ive neighboring cities in the Missour valley. She has accomplished wondon in the past ton years , but she lacks i continuity of 61Tort and singleness ol purpose. She has u board of trade , hoi clubs , her manufacturing bureau ane jobbers association , but there is i lack of concord , co-operation nne public spirit , without whicl great strides in any direction cannot be made successfully. By agitating u paper railroad scheme between Sioux City and Ogden tlu buslnoss men of Sioux City have sue- eoeeled in convincing the Union Pacific road that it ia to its interest to give Sioux City a direct connection .with iti main line by way ot .Norfolk. Thii shows what bluster will accomplish when it is kept up persistently by i community that is in perfect accord 01 all vital questions. But Sioux City is not content wltl resting on her laurels. She is stil looking for more kingdoms to conquer , This following extract from nn oditoria lotfder that appeared in the Sioux Citj Journal Thursday morning is suggest ivo. It can be profitably emulated b ; the business men and capitalists o Omaha , if they would only drop tholi por&onal differences and unite for tin common good : Sioux City men liavo tlio reputation o "pullintr together" In ontorprUo for UN common good , and elescrvodly'so. Wonder have been wrought in this Way. Nearly al the grout things accomplished lioro In rcccn years hnvo boon secured by generous co operation , and In no city of tha west Is tlu spirit of co-oporatlon more prominent that in Sioux City. * It Is a matter of marvel that out of It spontaneous strength and haphazard cotnbl nation Sioux City has been able to accmn plisli such great things in its own Interest. If the object lias been to secure a new Un of railroad , to press for tlio building of ; bridge , or to vote n tax or raise n subscrip tlon for any purpose v/hlch seemed t bo of paramount importance , the oil Izons of Sioux City have la cacl case improvised such agencies aa wor necessary , They liavo organized , If tlmt tern be permissible , with a view to the prosun Issue , and then waited till another occasloi presented itself , when the same process wo : repented , So far this policy has been sue cossful successful to un extraordinary do groo. It has been so mainly because of tin extraordinary generosity and public spirit ol the buslnoss men of the place. Their public spirit has beou so abiding and so patriotic as to bo a substitute to n largo oxtcut for or ganiiutlon. Thdra are great things In tha future foi Sioux City , Nobody doubts that There are nho ( treat emergencies to bo met. Thli Is Inevitable If Sioux City Is to bo a grcn city. Tlio means of cbntrolllag the vntt om plro of tributary territory , nUhouph It nntur ally belong to Sioux City , must yet bo sup plied with a strong band and by oxtrnordlu ary exertion. All the strength that Slous City lias must bo put forth to control thii destiny. Let us organize. Tun Chicago pork packers are pay Ing the now rates on hogs and packing house products , which went intoofTec on western railroads January 1 , undo protest. They intend to lay tlici jTriovatife * ot unjust discrimination be fore the inter-stnto commission nm claim tlmt the railroads favor Missoor river tralnts as against Chicago. Tin Chicago packers claim that they cat buy and bring Into that city the product of packing houses on the Missouri rivei lit about the same price they pay for llv < hogs. They demand for their protcctioi that the railroads make siit'li rates a ! will keep these packers out ot thoii market. Tills would be eminently un just. The truth of the matter is , Chi cago's pork packing industry is begin ning to fool the symptoms of decay. Jus aspork ptieking wontwcslward from Cin cinnuti , It is now leaving Chicago fo more favored localities. In a nutshell Omaha and Kansas City have natural tulranlnges in this particular industry over Chicago which thut city is vainlj trying to noutrali/.o by demanding thai rail road rates bo made in its favor on packing house products. SOMKIIODY seems to liavo imposed 01 Governor Thayor's credulity by paint ing a lurid picture of a nest of wild- eyed anarchists in Omaha who are only kept in subjection by wholesome fear ol tbo law. Whether there are people here of such bloodthirsty tendencies a-i the governor imagines they have cer tainly behaved as law-abiding citizens , They have not taken ad vantage ot labot disturbances in the past to create ells- order and inflame the passions of their followers. They have never given trouble to the local authorities , anil have shown no indication of makiiif .war on society orproperty. . To supper ; an expensive militia organisation for the purpose of watching the Omahc anarchists would therefore seem the height of absurdity. THE whisky trust has not yet beet ; able to crush out all competition. A few large distillers who refused at llrsl to enter the trust still hold out , and other competition has been created. The last move oC the trust was ti reduc tion in price of nearly ten per cent which went into effect on the iirst ol this month. Thii has been met by its competitors , and as the trust people propose to make a test of financial strength , it is expected that there will soon bo another cut in the price. Tlio contest promises to be vigorous and prolonged , and the life ot the trust de pends upon whether it can vanquish the competition. So far as the people are concerned , they have little to gainer or lose either way. Ox the certificates thus far issued te members-elect of the next house of rep resentatives the republicans will have a majority of four. Decision in the case of the remaining two districts of West Virginiahas not beou reached , but it is thought probable that one of those will bo given to the republicans. In any event the republican majority in the next house will afford a very narrow margin for carrying through any dis tinctive measure of party policy , but it will be sufficient to secure the organi zation. Perhaps the close political di vision of the house may prove to bo an advantage to the country. It may con duce to greater care in legislation. TIIK banking laws of all the western states could doubtless bo improved. There is nowhere such restrictions upon going into the business ot banking as are necessary to the security of the people ple against dishonest men , and the pro visions generally for the protection of depositors are not adequate , Not only should the states require security from private bankers suflleioiit to make de positors comparatively safe , but the banks should bo subjected to inspectio n at least twice a year , at the direction of the slate treasurer or auditor. Ban IK are necessary and men who desire to go into the business will not object to all proper regulation if they intend to bo honest. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "DisnoNKST and corrupt men , " said Governor Thayer in his inaugural address - dross , "taking advantage of the indif ference of the better class to the impor tance of elections , manage to secure the selection of delegates who will be fit instruments in executing nefarious schemes , in largo cities public im provements are always being made and contracts to bo lot. Then jt is that councllmon and contractors often com bine to rob the honest constituents. " Diet the governor hold Omaha in his mind's eye when ho wrote these words'r TUB removal of the entire western business of the Illchardson Drug com pany to Omaha , due to the loss of the parent house at St. Louis by lire , Is a recognition of the advantages of Omaha as a dlstrlbutinrvnoint. The Illchard son Drug compatjy is one of the largest und most conservative wholesale houses of its kind in the country , and its action in making Omaha its headquarters will go far in drawing attention ol loading mercantile establishments to the supe riority of our city as a wholesale center. K is plenty of money in the Now York City banks. Over four hundred millions are on deposit , which is an'ex cess of forty millions as compared with last year. Nevertheless the banks have extended their loans thirty-throe mil lions , an Increase of ton par cent in their volume of business. As Now York is the barometer of the money market of tlio country , it would indicate n healthful condition of finances through the country. HKWITT has ro.tircd from the ofllcoof mayor of Now York. Despite his gruffness and peculiarities , he was undoubtedly the most fearless and hon est executive tljat the empire city has known for many a year.

[ Special to Tun Br.B. ] THE Bnr.'s new arrangement for special delivery by fast train throughout the southern part of the state , meets with much favorable comment from business men and all classes of people , Your correspondent spoke with a number of Button's business men , and ttie following is the substance of their comment : Mr. L. D. Fowler , president of the First National bank : I consider that early train deal as the shrexydest business scheme that's ever been worked ia the west. To put Tim Br.n into all the B. & M. towns from Omaha to McCook , several hours earlier than the ordinary time , is an undertaking that will DO appreciated by everybody. This puts the Chicago papers at discount in thispa of the west. William Gricss , general merchant : I have always wanted to see this. If THE BEE can beat 'om all on the time of reaching its sub scribers , as it does in general news , it ought to como pretty near capturing every business man in the South Platte country. Mr. A. C. Burliugamc , of the New York auction house : They can say \vlmt they want to , but THE BEE lays It over all of 'em when it comes to enterprise. Tne only question heretofore with us along the B. & M. was that it didn't reach us quick enough. I bo- llovo that special train is the boldest scheme I over heard of by any western paper. Charles Linstrum , merchant tailor : Tin : BEE is a credit to the whole stute. Enter- pr'sing newspapers make enterprising people. Judge Weed : That settles it. If TiinRnn can got hero on an early train , it can sweep the. whole South Platte country. Mr. E. A. Blngtiaui , druggist : The busi ness men everywhere will appreciate Tin : Br.n's enterprise. Enterprise in the newspa per buslnoss is like enterprise in any other business it wins. Mr. A. E.

It's an expense for a business man to support his daily paper and ho likes to put his money whore good patronage is ap preciated. Henry Grosshans : The Germans of Ihls part of the state nave always regarded Tun Br.i ! as the people's truest- friend among the daily newspapers. I aju triad to sco it win.

Every citi zen of Nebraska , without regard to politics , should bo proud of Tun Bnn as u Nebraska production. Dr. A. H. Yan Sickle : Ills a remarkable enterprise. It shows nn aggressive splril and determination to procure and dissemi nate the news ahead of all competitors nl whatever cost , praiseworthy in Tun Bun tc the highest degree. It is not only of interest to us here , but there If in it a commercial value that should not be lightly regarded by the business community. WHAT TJ1R LMU3SS SAYS. Grand Island Independent : Tin : Bun is quite "lly , " having chartered an extra tc connect with the "Burlington llyer , " thai will take the papers in a bee line into Lin coln before 7 o'clock ; also at other places in the South Platte district a few hours ahead of the other Omaha papers. Sucli pluck is undoubtedly appreciated by its subscribers. York Times : A special train was put on the B. & M. yesterday by Tin : OMAIIV Bic. : This is the only enterprise of the kind west of Chicago , and ia in keeping with the enter prise and nerve which huvo boon shown li : the past by the management of Tun Bun. This paper will reach Lincoln hereafter at 7 o'clock , and all other points on the B. & M. about three and a half to four hours earlier than formerly. It is an expensive enterprise , but will prove a paying one , we think. Springfield Monitor : THE OMAHA BEE lias inaugurated a scheme of running 1111 early morning train of its own from Omaha to tlio southwest , thus insuring the delivery of Tnr DAII.V BKB from two to twenty-four hours earlier than heretofore. By this plan Tin : Br.i : will reach Lincoln at 7 a. in. , which will be several hours earlier than other Omaha papers , and will cause a big demand for that paper during the session of the legislature. Beatrice Democrat : By special arrange ment Tin : OMAHA Bni : will bo received hero at 8:45 : a.m. , or nearly four hours earlier than before. This is putting nn Omaha paper into Beatrice pretty early. Tin : BEE'S special train is n great stroke of enterprise. Weeping Water Republican ; THE OMAHA. BEC , with its usual enterprise , announced in its last Sunday's edition , that on January 1 , ISS'.i , it would charter a special train , which would leave Omaha about 4:30 : n. in. , daily , for Plattsmoutb , making close connection with the "Burlington Flyer , " for Denver , for the speedy delivery of its papers west of Plattsmouth , which Is done at an expense of $1,000 per month , exclusive of express charges. Such enterprise should be appre ciated by its readers. Ciete Globe : The 1st ot January Tun OMAHA BEE stopped so far ahead of all its competitors that no paper west of Chicago could locate it with a thirty-six-inch tele scope. The particular means by which this result was attained shows that TUB BEE in tends to become the daily of the west , re gardless.
