THE Winona & Southwestern prom ises to push its nose across the Iowa line this year. Mason City has its oar to the ground listening for the rumble of the locomotive. A nuitariAiiY insurance company has boon incorporated in Connecticut with a capital of one hundred thousand del lars. The now company evidently has not a high opinion of the cracksman. One big bank robbery would send the ' corporation up the flu mo. ST. PAUij and Minneapolis are pretty badly scared over the prospect of the Northern Pacific making Chicago its terminal point. Not oven the promise of retaining the railroad eating house of the company at the twin-cities will cure their melancholy. OMAHA does not take a back seat in her pork packing industry. Her posi tion as the third largest packing center Is not only Hrruly established but the number of hogs packed to date exceeds the record for , the corresponding time last . year. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ COUNCIL BLUFFS authorities threaten to retaliate because Omaha insists that homo and foreign expressmen must pay the annual license of ton dollars. Our oustorn buburb is welcome to trade and traffic in this city , but cannot bo given privileges denied to homo expressmen. SOUTHERN republicans demand a complete reorganization of the judic iary in the southern states as the only means to secure an honest ballot and a fair count. Such a change would soon test the capacity of the state peniten tiaries. TIIK alliterative combination of sec retaries , known as the state board of transportation , has tackled the dis criminations of the St. Paul & Omaha road. The result of the inquiry will determine whether the board is the creature of the railroads or the servant of the people. TIIK British tori03 propose to devote the whole of the next two sessions of parliament to.Iriuh legislation. A hum purchase bill will occupy the first sos- Blon , and a local government bill'tho second. Meanwhile the Irish will bo prepared for tory blessings by liberal doses of bayonet and buckshot , and the obstreperous clapped into jail and reduced - ducod to obedience on broad and water. THE municipal election in South Omaha was a disgraceful scramble for ofllco and an outrage on the ballot. In BOtiio wards votoru were forcibly pre vented from casting their ballots be cause they wore not acceptable to the jSiiTOUndlng bulldozers , whijo their sup- { pQi'tors were given the freedom of the { tolls and voted as early and often as their masters demanded. The methods employed to foist jobbers on the people would disgrace n Third ward primary and shame the regulators of Mississippi. packing returns for the past Ivcolc show a steady Increase In the marketing of hogs In all the packing con tors of the west , and a corresponding doorcase in eastern cities. The total number marketed Is loss" than during the preceding week , but largely In ex cess of the corresponding week last your. But the significance of the llg- uros Ho in the fact thut the markets of rtio Missouri vnlldy are rapidly distanc ing their eastern competitors , notwlth- ttunding the open and secret discrim inations of the railroads. aoviiUNOU TiiAYKit , hns vetoed the . bill establishing the live stock commission , on the ground that Its passage was procured by methods dosorvlug tv stern robuko.

WUERE NEBRASKA'S PRODUOT QOES. The department of agriculture at Washington has Just issued n report on the distribution nml consumption of corn for March which is interesting in pointing out that but n few of the corn growing slates produce n sufllclont sur plus for commercial distribution. Nolthor the Now Englnn'd , Middle nor the Pacific states and territories grow enough corn for their own consumption. It is the Western and Southern states which grow the great crops and which supply the stosk to food the rest of the country. Thftsoctloh , however , which consumes the largest proportion of the supply is the western corn growing group of states. This is obvious as it Is the oattlo and hog growing dlstrlotof the country. The Southern corn growing group of states , including the cotton growing states , at this season of the year always show smaller consumption and a larger per contngo on hand than any other section of the country , for tlio reason that it is not a cattle feeding district for beef making. It would apoear , therefore , as between the western and southern states , that the corn crop of the latter IsdiBlribMled , while it is merely the surplus of the former over and above homo consump tion which Is used for commercial dis tribution. Strange as it may appear , of the twelve states comprising the western group only seven , Ohio , In diana , Illinois , Iowa , Nebraska , Mis souri and Kansas , grow ti surplus for export. Corn is consequently a crop which is largely consumed In the local ity where It Is prown. Only about one- sixth of the entire crop goes into gen eral distribution by transportation oithot by a long or a short haul to the next county , to the east or to the Pacific states and territories. The export of corn to Europe has not exceeded two or three per cent except in a few years of comparative failure of competing feed ing material In western Europe. These are facts both Instructive and curious and demonstrate what becomes of Ne braska's great product. INSPECTORS. There has been a substantial all- round reduction in paving material this year , compared with last" On cypress blocks the reduction amounts to eleven cents per square yard , on cedar blocks twelve cents , and on granite and sand stone from six to fifteen cents. Owing to the conflicting nature of the specifi cations , bidders had the option of choos- ng the specifications of any one year and making their bid accordingly. This feature of paving contracts im poses a grave responsibility on the board of public works in the selection of inspectors. On them devolves the duty of guarding the property owners and rigidly enforcing the terras of the contracts. They should bo men of known honesty and firmness , capable of nterproting the specifications and possessing ability to determine whether ho material is good or bad. Political considerations should not weigh against ability and integrity , nor should men bo considered who arc under obliga- ions or known to bo on friendly terms ivith the contractors. There is no desire to make war on the contractors , but the city must insist on trict compliance with the terms of the contracts by placing honest and vigi- ant inspectors on guard. The city council should make pio- vision to pay inspectors monthly. Un der the present system they are obliged , o wait throe and sometimes six months 'or their salaries. This is needless burden on the men. It is a hardship on themselves and families , and frequently places thomluudor obligations to the contractors for loans. This can bo easily remedied by paying them out of the general fund monthly , and return ing the money when the tax is collected on the work dono. OHIO'S MUNICIPAL EL&CTIOXS. The importance of Monday's muni cipal elections in Ohio is in their possi ble olTcct upon the state election next full. In November Ohio will elect stuto olllcors and members of the legislature , and upon the latter the light will bo most vigorous and earnest. Tlio next general assembly will chose a successor to Senator Payne , whoso term will ex pire in 1801 , and it is understood that the senator desires a vindication. Ever since the republicans of Ohio made the charge that Mr. Payne obtained his seat in the senate by the bribery of leg islators ho has been under a cloud , which even the votes of republican sen- , ntors against the investigation of the charge could no dispel. His usefulness was impnirod and his influence dimin ished. Ho stood before the country under the burden of an accusation which was not disproved , and which was sup ported by most convincing testimony. In Senator Payne's homo city , Cleveland - land , the question of his vindication played an important part. The demo cratic candidate for mayor has long been ono of his most faithful anil useful followers , and was conspicuous in the contest that made him senator. Ha was defeated in Monday's election , and although there wore several strong Influences operating against democratic success , the result may fairly bo regarded an a rebuke to the vindication programme. But the friends of Mr. Payne are not the sort of men whoao'/.cal can bo ex hausted by a binglo defeat. They arc shrewd politicians with abundant re sources which they will use freely , par ticularly so in view of the possibility that in'the event of the next legis lature being republican , it may send Mr. Ilalfituad to the senate. The cam paign of next full in Ohio promises , therefore , to bo fought largely upon the question of the senatorial succession , with a great tloal of money cer tain to be employed 0:1 the demoivutio tide. tide.Tho The result of the municipal elections was on the whole encouraging' to repub lican chances in the fall. In Cincin nati the republicans hud to tight , In ad dition to the democracy , a disaffected element which put in nomination a citi zen's ticket , yet they eteoloil their candidate for mayor and a majority of the other olty ollluiula.so that they wil have practically the control of the mu- nicipal machinery. They were also successful in electing most of their can didates in Toledo , and as al ready noted will have control of the city government ot Cleveland , but two democratic'ofilQlals having boon elected there. In the smaller towns the republicans generally hold their own. The trouble to bo apprehended Is factional conflict. There nppaars to bo a want of mutual confidence between some of the loaders , nnd there nro cer tain men whoso personal ambition may load thorn to acts perilous to the unity and harmony of the party. If these dangers can bo averted the republicans will carry Ohio next fall nnd add ono to the narrow republican majority in the United Slates senate. THE LAnOR Reports regarding the condition of the labor market at the principal centers - tors of indtiiitrv are not"uniformly as satisfactory as could bo wished , but quite generally labor is fairly well em ployed , at wages varying but llttlo from that of a year ago. Tlio worst re port is made by Now York , where , It Is said , great numbers of men and women nro out of employment , but by reason of the dally inllux of European immi grants to that olty it cannot bo taken ti9 an Index to the general condition of the workingmen throughout the coun try. In Chicago a great deal moro labor has been kept in employment during the winter than usual , and the outlook is said to bo very favorable. Still there are a great many unemployed men in that city. It St. Louis the number of idle people is com paratively small , and in all the mechan ical occupations wages are good. At Cleveland the labor market , outside of the Iron business , which has shared in the general depression , is said to bo in a satisfactory condition , and about the same state of affairs exists at Pitts- burg. At Paterson , Lowell , Bridge port , and some other eastern manufac turing points the situation is fairly good , while at most of the southern in dustrial centers , and particu larly at Birmingham , there is reported to bo an active de mand for good skilled labor. Gloomy reports come from Indianapolis and Reading , several causes having con tributed to fill the latter city especially with a host of unemployed workers. There have been fewer reductions of wages than might have been expected , in view of the depression in many in dustries , and except at points whore there is a great surplus of labor the standard of last year has boon main tained. Whether this fortunate con dition is to bo continued cannot bo pre dicted with any degree of certainty. It depends upon whether there shall bo a general revival of industrial activity , nnd for this the promise is boliovoa to bo good , though nothing in the nature of a boom is looked for. .Doubtless the wages of skilled labor in all departments will continue as at present , for of that class of labor there is rarely an excess , but unless there shall bo a moro decided revival in the general business of the country than is now looked for , or can reasonably bo re garded as likely to take place , the wages of ordinary labor may decline somewhat before the close of the year. Meantime there is apparent in tlio sit uation nothing to suggest that labor asa whole need bo apprehensive of the im mediate future , even though it may find little reason to expect an early im provement of its condition. That is certainly not so satisfactory , taking the entire country into consideration , as could bo wished , but there Is some com fort in the reflection that the average condition of the working people of the United States is much bettor than that of the workers of any other country , and their prospects and opportunities im measurably greater. TIIK Mormon question cuts a largo figure in the selection of territorial of ficers for Utah. The vigorous prosecu tion of polyfrnmists prevailing when the democrats came into poiver was practic ally stopped by the nppointrao nt of Judge Sanford as chief justice of the territory. Convictions were few and sentences light. Cleveland exorcised the pardoning power freely and encour aged the polygamlsts in the belief that the law would soon bo nullified by in action. This idea was dissipated by the government taking charge of Zlon's Co-operative institute , annulling the charters of Mormon corporations , nnd exercising authority over the rev enue of the church. Those facts , coupled with the belief that Judge Zane will bo reanpointed to the su preme bench , convinces the most rad ical Mormons that polygamy must soon perish. Ono of the bishops and several cldors now enjoying the seclusion of the penitentiary for promiscuous mar riage , confess that they are weary ot plural wives , and if released will cheer fully obey the law. This fooling is be coming general among young and old , high and low , and foreshadows the early abandonment of polygamy In practice and preaching. Tun organ of the coal trade Is uu- thorilylor the statement that the an thracite monopoly has determined to re strict Its product and arrange matters In such u way as to keep the coal out of the market until it is wanted. Whoa the demand comes the price will go up. Quoting this information , the Phila delphia Record says that city pays four million dollars a year in excess of the amount which would bo paid if the af fairs of the coal companies had boon conducted on n bound and honest basis. At this rate of excess for Philadelphia , what must bo the sura of which the rest of the country is annually plundered by this grasping monopoly ? There nro thousands of men now idle , and with their families suffering for the necessa ries ot life , in order that this law-defy ing combination ma3r carry out its policy of organized robbery. IT is a dull and dreary session of Judge Gosliu'a court that does not result in a death sentence , Ho has pronounced the doom of moro murderers than any judge in the state , and it IB also a fact that most of them escape from _ jail or Hlido into the penitentiary through the crevices of his crude' and caustic rul- ings , The conviction and sentence ot llaunstlno , for ; the cold-bloodod murder ot two officers wjillo performing their duties , confirms the claim that justice Is never blindfolded In Gaslln's court. It Is wldo-nwaKo'and vigilant and rarely /ails to deal out merited punishment to criminals. THRRK is a large number of valuable prizes yet to bo disposed of by President Harrison , but aa < to a large number ot thorn there is gome doubt as to whether ho will make , distribution until the terms of these now holding them ox- plro. The policy of the administration regarding the tenure of ofllco question has not boon very clearly defined , but there Is an impression that a grant many officials will bo allowed to con tinue nt their posts until the expiration ot tholr commissions. The rcsolvo of the executive mind in this particular will Drobably bo made known within a short time. TMU oulrngos perpetrated by n band of Dnotu | rufllans in north Nebraska Is likely to land sbtno of the regulators in olornity. There is no apparent cause for the attacks nnd kidnapping of settlers by this gang. The ohargo that they nro cattle thieves is simply a blind ' to frighten thorn out of the country , and give the stockmen free range for their herds. Such outlawry cannot bo tolerated , and unless the authorities promptly Interfere , the outraged settlers will take the law In their hands and deal out leaden justice to the regu lators. Tine Saxton ballot i-oform bill has again passed the Now York legislature , , against the united opposilion of the democrats. There Is little hope of the bill becoming a law. Tlio republicans have not the necessary strength to pass it over the governor's veto , nnd it is al- nest certain thattltll will not approve any bill which will protect the ballot > ox and imperil Tammany power in New York City. THE Iowa attorney general has ren dered a decision requiring every so licitor for insurance lo secure a certifi cate from the state auditor showing that ho is duly authorized to engage in the business. This ruling will destroy the business of bogus insurance agents and protect the poonlo from the peri odical raids of greedy drummers. Another OfTcnue to Answer For. l'litlat\eliJila ) I'rcsi.

A'OIOE OF TIIK STATIC IM113SS. John L. AVebstor for the Supreme Court , 1'iiinifc ItcintMtcan. John L. Webster , of Omaha , is being urged by the people of the state for tlio vacancy on the supreme bench of the United States Mr Webster is a gentleman of acknowledged ability nnd line attainments in his profession. His thoroughness lu what belongs to n knowledge ot law cannot bo doubted. Ho is clear and strong in his manner and methods. Fourteen years ago ho was the president of tlio constitutional convention of Nebraska the ono of 1ST5 and it is not by accident that ono receives such recognition. Ho commands the respect of the western bar In nn un usual degree. He Is familiar with the questions which do not cotno within the roach of eastern jurists. The west is a great and growing country. It Is almost without representation upon the supreme bench to-day. Thut splendid old man , Asso- oiato Justice Miller , is the only ono of the Judges upon our highest bench who under stands its needs. A little fresh blood will help it. This proved to bo so ui the case of Chief Justice Wnite , nnd it is provititr to bo so in the case of Chief Justice Fuller. Mr. Harrison has shown that ho will follow com mon scuso instead of precedents in his ap pointments , nnd tlio selection of Mr. Webster - stor would bo in the line of bis policy. " John L. Webster is n gentleman ad nil rod and respected by all who know him. Ho is n typical American , learned , able and amiable , Ireo from ostentation nnd yet novcr heedless of the true dignity of his profession. He is a western republican , and his suc cession to the supreme bench would bo a highly meritorious nnd gratifying : nppolnt- mout. AFFAIRS OF DAKOTA. Mutters of Intercut 1'crtalnlng to the Incipient Stato. Huuox , Dak. , April 2. [ Special to TIIK Hnu.1 Governor Melletto is moving cau tiously in changing the territorial ofllcers. Three of the most important ofllcos have been fllled by the executive. J. C. Me- Mnnlnm , editor of the Pierre Frco Press , is the now auditor. Ho has lived lu Pierre olght years and is ono of tlio most genial gentleman in his profession. His writings are clear nnd strong , mid bo Is of the brfst typo of .young republicans to bo found In Da kota. Joseph M , Bailey , Jr. , of Sioux Falls , Is president , of n national bank , although but twenty-six years old. Ho is tlio now treas urer. At tlio Chicago convention ho was one of the most notlvo Harrison men there , and at the pivotal point swung live of Da- Kota's votes to Harrion , thus solidifying the delegation for the winner. His republican ism is undiluted , F. H. lingcrty of AberdeenJs the commis sioner of immigration. Ho wont to that city In 1SSO nnd has ever ainco boeii ono of its most active citizens.

Of such is Governor Mcllctto'a ofll- clal family. Nor will it stop hero. Removals will con tinue until n very largo majority of the of- llccs nro occupied by republicans. No law ful net will bo omitted which can conduce to the early admission of the two Dakotasas sovereign states. Those who might do some thing to thwart this will not bo allowed to stay in ofilclal positions. Thus ox-Governor Churuh'H attempt to kcepaoino of his friends In ofllco will bo defeated. AH must go , nnd th'o ox-auditor who hud charge of the insur ance aopartmont Issued nn order lust prior to his 'retirement directing the Insurance companies to publish tholrnnnuul statements In certain papers that ho Bpcuiflcd , mostly of Ills own stripe and politics. Hut this will scarcely eland , ns the new auditor will un doubtedly countermand it nnd direct such publications to bo made In the papers having tbo largest circulation n oualillcutloa that is monopolized by republican pupors In Dakota. Now that the farmers' ttlllanco has decided to fltfht Jndgo Moody , of Dcadwood , for tbo Bonatorship , it comes out that the Judge Is onu uf the heaviest farmers in the Black Hills , or In Dakota. Ho 1ms 600 acres fenced , and Is cultivating about half of it. HU father was a Now York farmer ; the son was brought upon the farm , and lias continued funning from boyhood until the prenont.

That George dishing , tbo ofilclal pruning- knife ot the Union Paclllc , Is nbout to resort to his old tactics of reducing wngcs of rail way employes by discharging them nnd thou tendering thorn work nt reduced wages , is now exemplified to the satisfaction of the employes of that company , It. . will bo re membered that Tin : Hni : , nt the tlmo dish ing succeeded Mr. Clom Hackney , ns super intendent of motlvo power nnd machinery , published nn article concerning this ofllcml nnd his methods nnd also that ho was designed for this scrvlco when ho was em ployed by the road. It will nlso bo remem bered that nt tlio tlmo ho assumed bis posi tion there were rumors of disaffection which threatened n strike. The workingmen claim that such would lllco'y ' have resulted had not the management assured them of Its protec tion. Hut now comes the report that within the next thirty days Oushlng will have lopped off nbout 'J,50t shopmen.

The real cause of the Hock Islnnd In with drawing its rolling stoclc from the service of Omaha nud South Omnhn nbout three months ngo , Is nl last divulged. It was simply because - cause the Hock Island hud already hauled a largo amount in excess of the per cent of freight allowed that road In the pool on business bctwccon Missouri river points ami Chicago. It will bo remembered that at the time the Hook Island look its cars out of the service the only rea son advanced was that the rolling stock waste to bo used in handling the crop of ice nt nprthorn nnd central points. Kven the rep resentatives of the road here could advance no other reason. It now transpires that tlio action emanated from the pool arrangement , nnd rather than divert freight the Hock Island tool : nwny its cars nnd refrained from making uny effort to secure traffic nt this point until the parallel lines had realized their respective per cent of the shipments from Missouri river points. When this was nnnounctfd the Hock Island quietly returned its cars and is now among the active com petitors for Omaha tralllo. Costly but Jtnplil Transit.
