The only question is how deep are the ta\- payer 's pockets. * ' a TIIK new proprietors of tho/fcK < Wuro to bo commiserated. They have hitched their concern to the moat successful newspaper wrookor in these puts , and will presently find themselves high and dry on the roulcs , with Frank Mornssoy shouting , "I'm avenged !

This man's by Billings. experi ments should hereafter ho confined to his own person. The porker is useful and must bo protected. TIIK Pullman company threatens to furnish these states which insist on cheap sleeping-car rates with a cheap equipment of cars. The legislatures muy retaliate by requiring railroads to run only first class sleepers , and prohib iting any extra charge for second rate sleeping car accommodations. THK pdoplo of Colorado complain that the rate of interest is higher In that state than in any other state of the union , and they cannot understand why eastern capital nevertheless lights shy of their scouritios. The fact is high interest always represents low grade securities and lack of confidence. Micsouui does not propose to allow herself to bo dragged into the support of any legislation for the state Inspec tion of cattle on the hoof , for the bene fit of n butchers' combine. A bill to that oifoct was introduced into the leg islature hut was otToctuiilly got rid of by referring the measure to a committee on benevolent and scientific institu tions. the work of paving and soworlug the city is pr.ictic.illy complete - ploto , except in the outlying suburbs , the extension of public works for Omaha is by no means over. Tlio ques tion of parks and boulevards will now absorb our attention , in which a begin- 0Mng will soon bo mado. Tlio work of toautifylng our city is a task which will tax our host judgment and should bo planned with great earn. TUB people of Khodo Island are not only honrttly slclc and tlrod of prohibi tion , but have the courage to s.xy it. The state has given prohibition a fair trial and Its oxporlonco has only boon a repetition of the oxporlonco of Maine , Iowa , and Kansas , The law has boon injurious to the interests of Rhode Island , depreciating the value of real estate and discouraging immigration. Its enforcement has boon a sham and the liquor business has passed Into the hands of disreputable and dangerous men , beyond the control and supervis ion of Btnto and municipal authorities. Prohibition has olTootually failed in lessoning drunkenness In the state , and the people refuse longer to deceive themselves in the matter. Now that the oadlng business men and taxpayers of Uhodo Island have united In a inonstor petition to the legislature , praying for the abolition of tlio per nicious law and the substitution of a high license measure , it is safe to pre dict that prohibition in that state will hort-Uvoil. CANDIDATES. A Now York journal , devoted exclu sively to financial nnrt commercial af fairs , discusses the subject of treasury candidates In a tone indicating distrust of any western man that might bo ap pointed to the hond of the treasury un der the neKt administration. It evi dently feol.s thnt the probabilities are strongly In favor of the no t secretary of the treasury being taken from the west , or , at all events , being a man moro In sympathy with west ern than with eastern senti ment regarding the financial policy of the government , and it Implies n doubt whether a mnn can bo found outside Uio money center of the country competent to cope with the financial problems which may bo pro- hontcd under the next administration. It observes , and doubtless correctly , that "tho next four years will present financial questions of great importance , and what Is moro to the point , will re quire that the head of tlio treasury de partment shall carefully and constantly follow the course of money movements with an Intelligent conception of cur- icncy requirements , with ability and knowledge that will justify the fearless and olToctlvo ex ercise of discretionary powers without crtor duo either to misrepre sentations and improper influences of interested p.utios , or to the failure to appreciate and successfully moot the necessities arising from our arlilleiiilly compileileii finances. " In the opinion of the journal in question the new sec retary of the treasury must posse-,3 knowledge of commercial affairs , finan cial principles and currency conditions , and the aim of the now administration should bo to select a 'Voalous student of finance , who has devoted years of earn est consideration to the questions now pressing for action , and who will bring to tjin * administra tion of revenue and curtoney laws abil ity acquired by study and experience , nnd by familiar acquaintance with the achievements and errors of the p ist and the requirements and difficulties of the picsent. " It would bo impossible to describe more clearly the sort of man w ho ought to bo at the head of the treasury dopatl- tuc'iit , and who has not been in that po sition during the present admin istr.i- tion. Yet both the secretaries of the treasury in the past foxir yoais wore taken from Now York. fho great weakness of both of them w.is that they yielded to the misrepresenta tions and improper iiillueucos of in terested parties , those parlies being chicll the bankers and capitalists of Now York. The entire policy of Secre tary Manning was shaped to comply with the views and wishes of Wall street. All ho know or cared for re garding financial principles and cur rency conditions was mapirod ftoiu and had reference to the intoio&ts of that money center. Ho obstinately lotusod to give hoed to any other counsel or in fluence , and it is wollronicmbinod what the consequence was to the financial af fairs of the country. His successor having boon insttuctcd in the same nnriotv school , and never hiuing been a "zealous ntudent of finance" until ho entricd the treasury , ondeavoiod lo maintain the policy in which ho had boon taught until circ unisUincob com pelled him to in part abandon it. Wh.it- o\or success ho has had is duo to the fact that ho has since piouecded on broader lines than those laid down by his predecessor. The time has gone by for conceding that all commercial aim financial wis dom is centered in the east , and the pe riod has come for a broader and more comprehensive financial policy than can ever come from Wall street. The seat of commercial empire in this country is in the west. The vast region properly in cluded in that section contributes an nually the largest share to the wealth and prosperity of the country. It still has great undeveloped resources invit ing capital and population. Our finan cial policy should have some relation to the requirements of this vigorously pro gressive section , while doing no injustice - justice to any other portion of the coun try , rather than bolug shaped to suit the desires or exigencies oC 0110 section , as has boon almost uniformly the case for years. There is every reason to ex pect that a western man at the head of the treasury would bo far less likely to err fiom tlio misrepresentations and improper influences of interested pin- ties than ono selected from the eastutid especially from Now York. A cnnERHfO OUTLOOK. Klsowlioro in our columns will bo found a highly interesting interview with Mr. W G Albright , relative to tlio real estate and building outlook for Omaha during the ensuing year. It will bo found very gratifying reading by all wlio are concerned in the growth and prosperity of the metropolis of Nebraska. The confident tone of Mr. Albright's observations results from a thorough knowledge of the situation acquitod by careful investigation and actual business' experience. A few months ago sucli expressions of confi dence would have been rccoivod with moro or less incredulity , as the halting attitude of investors for HOIIIO time had been pretty generally interpreted as evidence of their loss of faltli in Omaha realty. Ynt during this period of ap parent depression improvements on a most liberal scale wore going on in every direction , and property in good localities not only hold its own , but ofund puronasors at increased prices , The causes that conduced to a general decline in western real estate invest ment by eastern capital are well under stood , and it is also apparent that they have very nearly or quite ex hausted their force. Tlio alarm raised by the eastern stool : gam blers , nnd the newspapers In their in terest about values of eastern realty Is seen to have boon groundless , The west bus not only survived the assault , but has continued to grow and prosper , and in this advancement Nebraska has largely shared. There Is consequently a reaction taking place in the feeling of eastern capitalists regarding western investments , and with money ntjundnnt in the east and anxiously looking for n profitable outlet , there Is every reason to believe that it will How westward in most liberal volume. In t"ho distribu tion Omaha and Nebraska will undoubt edly * receive a most generous share. The views of Mr. Albright will icwnrd careful porsunl. A COUKT Or CLAIMS. The proposition to create a court ot claims in Nebraska , before which nil claims against the state shall bo heard and determined , is worthy of careful consideration. The suggestion of the resolution of Mr. McBride , adopted by the house , is that such a court bo com prised of district judges of the state , who shall moot at least twice ti year and serve without additional pay. It is as sorted that claims are constantly coming before the legislature that should bo passed uoon by judicial authority , and not by the committee of claims , and It would scorn to bo obviously in the inter est , both of the state and of honest claimants , that claims should be adjudicated by a judicial tribunal specially Constituted for that purpose. Congress sotno years ago created a federal court of claims , and its operation has been satisfactory ) while a number of the slates have a similar tribunal. The creation of such a court in this state would certainly bo to the advantage of claimants in en abling 'them to get a hearing twice a year instead of once in two yearsnnd it ih fair lo presume that a tribunal of this character would give moro careful and nioio intelligent attention to claims than a committee of the legislature , with the greater certainty of a just and impartial determination , all of which would bo to the benefit of the stato. As the constitution provides that the state may sue and bo sued.and nuthories the legislature to pi ovule in what manner and in what courts suits shall bo bi ought , there appears lobe no constitu tional obstacle in the way of creating a court of claims in Nobraslca. A. HUM AUK Alt 1,11 I'ltOl'OSTTlOy. An oidinanco has boon introduced in the council to prohibit the construction of buildings on grounds which IKUO nt any foimer puiiod boon part of a street. This is a remarkable proposition. The city has for years boon narrowing cer tain stioets nnd selling the strips of giound abutting the lots on such streets to the owners of such lots. The c bales woio made after duo iippiaiscment and deeds executed by the major wore delivered to the purchaser- * and placed on locoid. Tlio passage of the proposed oidiiiauce would be a llagrant Molntion of pioperly rights oeded by the city for a consideration. The council might just as well revoke the sale of city lots which have boon deeded to vi nous parties from tune to time. It is a palpable attempt lo repudiate contract obligations ind should be discounten anced. If it is considered impioper to nariow streets or to sell any city ptopcrty. an ordinance for bidding such narrowing and sale would bo proper , but the city cannot with any degree of decency put a cloud upon titles it has giantod horetofoic whereby enterprising citi- /ous who wore about to construct build ings on lots that wore in part originally laid out as streets , would bo embarrassed in negotiating building loans. Tin : report of the Utah toiutorial commissioner of schools for the jenr 1SSS is especially interesting at this juncture. It appears that the taxation for .school purpoics is insulHeiont to pay the expenses of public school instruc tion , and tuition fees are charged in the district schools of the territory to pay necessary expenses. The result is that thousands of childton whoso patents are too poor to pay for their tuition are de barred of a public school education. The census of the school children in the territory of school ago shows that there are hfty-boven thousand of Mormon par entage and four thousand five hundred of Gentile paioutage. The cause of such a state of allairs is of course apparent. Tnc Mormon legislature re fuses lo make provisions for the support of the public school system of the terri tory so long as the Mormons oontiol the educational affairs. IlnUngthe power to le\y taxes , they refuse to contribute ono cent for the support of a common school system unless they can divert the money into the support of their own parochial schools , which cannot be done while Utah muintains the territorial form of government. All this is inter esting as foreshadowing what would happen if Utah wore admitted to state hood under Mormon rule. Tin : upper house of congress after playing piouigal son with the \ast em pire of the public domain , and enrich ing railioads and lund grabbers with millions of acres , appears oxcccdingly cautious in passing the Oklahoma bill. If the semite exercises Us care in con sidering the measure for the purpose of protui ting the rights of the honest set tler as against the cattle baron and speculator , no fault should bo found with the delay. But it is moro than piohablo that the shoo fits the othdr foot , and It is the pressure brought to bear by the ilch corporations that re tards aulion on tlio bill. Tun ox-Honorable Frank Morrlssoy has succeeded again in giving himself temporary notoriety. That is all ho has lived forsince , ho stiutcit on his tramp through the breezy and balmy west.
