STATES.
The people ot the two Dnkotas , Wusli-
ington and Montana will to-d.ay perform
the final net in the work ot creating
those four Mvr states. They will elect
Btnto olncors , legislatures which are to
ohooso United States senators , repre
sentatives in congress , and adopt or re
ject the constitutions submitted to
them. There is no doubt whatever
that all the elections will result in the
adoption of the proposed organic laws.
The campaigns in the now
stales have boon conducted
with a great deal ot spirit'and vigor ,
nnd white there Is no fooling of uncer
tainty recording the result , except as
to Montana , it will nevertheless bo
awaited with very general Interest by
men of both political parties. There
has never been a question regarding
the success of the republicans in the
Dakota , and as they made concessions
Lo the armors' alliance and the prohi
bitionists their majority in both states
ought to be materially increased. In
North Dakota the Ifarmora * alliance
virtually named the head of the
ticftot , John Miller , who , however , is
generally popultr and a man of first
rate ability. The candidate for con-
grcisin North Dakota is Mr. Hans-
brough. who was a delegate to the last
republican national convention , and is
a gentleman of good ability and general
popularity. South Dakota has two rep
resentatives in congress , and they will
bo the republican candidates , Gilford
and Pickler. Tlio candidate for gov
ernor , Arthur C Mollotte , IB one ot the
most popular men in South Da
kota , and will very likely rei'oivo
a larger vote than any other candidate.
The question of constitutional prohibi
tion has been prominent in the cam
paigns ot the Dakotns , and in both it
will be separately voted on to-day. Its
success in North Dakota is regarded as
tibsured , but the result in South Dakota
is somewhat uncertain , though the
chances are believed to bo most favor
able to prohibition carrying.
In Washington the republican candi
date for governor is IS. P. Ferry , who
wont from Illinois to the ter
ritory some twenty years ago with
an appointment from General
Grant , and was subsequently territorial
governor. Uo enjoys the confidence of
the pcoplo to an esceptiotial extentand
his election by a largo majority is con
fidently expected. Tlio republican can
didate for congress , Mr. Wilson , is a
banker , and has made himself popular
by his libctality and public snirit in de
veloping the resources of Washington.
His election is considered absolutely
certain. Tlic latest trustworthy information
mation from tho&ltito of Washington in
dicates that the republicans will elect
their candidates for state officers , con
gressman , and a majority ot the legisla
ture.
ture.The
The situation in Montana is one of un
certainty , but the outlook is not alto
gether discouraging to the hope of re
publican success. The election is fauro
to be close , and the probability is that
both parties will got something out of
the result. The election of the repub
lican candidate for congress is regarded
as reasonably certain , and the chances
arc thought to bo rather favorable
to the republicans securing tv major
ity of the legislature. Republican
success throughout , however , would
not be greatly surprising , although it
is not expected.
The senatorial contests in all the now
states possess u great deal of interest.
Ic is conceded that ox-Governor Pierce
will bo one of the United States sena
tors from North Dakota , and the other
beat will probably go either to ox-Gov
ernor Oi'dway or General Harrison
Allen , though there are other aspirants.
In South Dakota the probable choice for
senators will bo Potttgrow and Moody ,
though Kdgerton has not . aban
doned the contest. There are
half u do/.on aspirants for the
United States senate in Washington ,
with the chances apparently most fa
vorable to II. M. Cannon , a millionaire
banker of Spoknno Fallsand Watson C.
Squire , n wealthy citizen of the western
part of the state. In Montana the most
promincntropuuliean candidates for the
national senate are W. A. Siijindorsand
L. M. ITirschlield , and the most promi
nent democratic candidates are W. F.
Clarke , of liutte , and Colonel flousor ,
of Helena. .
It appears certain that tlio elections
in the four now states will result in add
ing to republican strength in congress
bix senators and four representatives
and it would not bo surprising if i
should be increased by eight of the for
mer and Five of the latter ,

The congress of American imtioni
which will moot in Washington tomorrow
row is unquestionably an event of very
great importance. Whether our poo-
pie fully appreciate this or not , the
people of Europe , or at least the com
mercial interests of the old world , cer
tainly do. Since the acceptance by the
countries of South and Central Amer
ica ot the invitation to this congress
and the growth of interest in it on the
part of those countries became
strongly apparent , there hn :
been n distinct manifestation o
apprehension and alarm by Kuropeai
commercial interests. They have
shown that they regard the movement
contemplated by this congress as a
most morions menace to their continued
supremacy in the tradeof American
countries , which Is of more value to Eu
rope than all the remaining markets ot
the world , They understand that
although the immediate results of thU
congress may not bo all that its most
ftuigulno promoters hope for , it
is u stop in the direction ol
an ultimate commercial union bo-
between American countries which
would bring great damage to European
interests that Imvo long found their
greatest gains in American markets.
The note ot alarm sounded by the most
influential journals of JCuropu should
suggest to our people something of the
real character and significance ot this
congress , for it is not to bo assumed thai
the alarm came unprompted from the
editors who have proulaitnod it.
It may be thut the expressed appro-
hmiRlon of the statesmen nnd the com
uiorcial interests ot the old world arc
exaggerated , but whan thu proportion :
of the great prlzo at slnko nro consid
ered there is obvious reason why there
should bo sollcitudo among those who
now possess it almost entire respecting
nn effort of Uio United States to at
least lairly shnro It with thorn. What
that prlzo IB will bo appreciated when
it la stated that last year the nations to
the south of the United States imported
merchandise to the value of tour hun
dred and fifty million dollars , and that
of this England , Franco nnd Ger
many gob oighty-nlno per cent ,
leaving the beggarly sum of only
eleven per cent to the United
States. While this country takes from
the other American countries a largo
part of the commodities tlioy Roll , it re
turns to them onlv a very small fraction
of what they buy. Whatever may bo
the explanation of this state of affairs
it is undeniably a condition which it is
most desirable nnd necessary to change ,
and which it la behoved can bo changed
to the material advantage of all Ameri
can countries. This is the prime nml
greatly important purpose of the con
gress that will assemble In Wash
ington to-morrow. There is abundant
evidence that the delegates from o Hi or
countries arc jjonornlly in very hearty
sympathy with it.
The congress will bo notable for the
generally high character of the quali
fications of tlio mon who will compose it.
The ton representatives ot the United
States are well-informed uml practical
mon merchants , manufacturers and
lawyers. The other American coun
tries \\tll bo represented generally bi'
men of conspicuous ability , and it need
hardly bo said timt those countries have
men who riink na publicists and econ
omists with the ablest in the United
States or any other country. There arc
statesmen of no moan quality in the coun
tries to the south ot us. The congress
will simply organixo to-morrow. On
Thursday the delegates will start on
their tour , of which Omaha will bo tht
western terminus , anil which will oc
cupy several weeks.

The bar of this city , which practically
means the bar of the district , hns des
ignated their preference for a successor
of Judge GrolY. Their choice has fallen
upon Mr. Joseph K. Clnrkpon , whose
standing as n citi/.en and as an attorney
is unimpeachable. While Mr. Clark-
son is not u professional politician , ho ii
and always has been a staunch republi
can. It is conceded on nil hands that
Mr. Clarkbon is eminently qualified for
the district bench , andhis populnritj
with the bar attests that ho is'rcspoctcd
by his professional associates.
The bench of this district has up tc
this time inspired confidence nnd re
spect. Our judges , from Lake to Groir
have boon men of character and unques
tioned integrity. The precedent here
tofore established to endorse by nonpartisan -
partisan popular vole the choice of the
bur , should bo adhered to in the choice
of a successor of Judge GrofT. Anj
attempt to repudiate this choice should
bo discouraged and discountenanced ,
The democratic party cannot con
sistently refuse to endorse Mr. Clarkson ,
without repudiating its leaders in this
district , who hnvo always proclaimed
their willingness to divide the districl
jndgeshipr ! with the republican party.
The republicans cannot ulTord to with
hold endorsement of Mr. Clark-
son without stultifying themselves nni
seriously impairing the success of thoii
county ticuot. Mr. Clarkson will noi
cease to bo a republican by having the
endorsement of the democrats , and anj
attempt to foist any other candidate
upon republicans , would only bo throw
ing a fire-brand to disrupt the party.
All the talk about ignoring the
claims of candidates in other counties
is more rot. Judge Groll was an Omalu
man and his successor very properly
will bo an Omaha man. With ninety
per cent ot the business and fiftooi
times the population in this district
Douglas county is fairly entitled to three
out of the four judges. When Judge
Ilopewoll's term expires it will bo time
enough for aspirants in Hurt , Sarpy and
Washington counties to enter the iielel
and contest Ills scat.

There is a deluge of suggestions and
a paucity of practical means offered the
farmers of the west just now as to the
best plan for profitably disposing of the
corn surplus. The present condition o
the market does not encourage lh <
hope of high prices. In fact , the tendency
dency is to lower prices , and by thetiim
the now crop begins to move , prevail
ing prices nro likely to fall to n poin
which will make it unprofitable to ship
The latest statistics place the croj
in Nebraska at one bundroe

Unless prevailing conditions radically

corn crop will seriously ulToct the mar

It is useless to tallc of factories as ai
avenue of relief. Even if n econ
of them could bo built and put in opera
tion this winter , the amount the :
would consume would scarcely make at
impression on the total. There nro
other and more dlrcot moans by which
western fnrm'6rVcan ' } turn their corn to
profitable nccount , nnd the principal
ono is to turn itlntobeof and pork. The
profits derived from corn-fed stock nrc
too well known to require nn explana
tion. It hns boon ono ot the chlol
sources of profit to our farmers since
the ostabllshmoift ot convenient home
markets
Conditions hro' extremely favorable to
this method of disposing ot the surplus
crop. The destructive summer drought
which lightened the ranges ot Mon-
Innn , northern Wyoming and portions
of Colorado will undoubtedly glut the
market with rnngo stock nnd force
prices far below those now prevailing.
Stockmen in those sections have no
other avenue of escape. Thn grass on
the ranges was scarcely BUfllelent tc
support tlio herds , and they nro not in
condition to stand the rigors of n severe
winter , which is generally expected.
There are flfloon million dollars In-
vestdd in stock in Montana alone , nntl
every marketable nnimnl will be
shipped out this fall. Advices from
other sections agree that the herds
will bo reduced to the lowest possible
number , as the owners will not run the
risk of winter range feeding.
"It is nn ill wind that blows nobody
good.1' If Nebraska farmers take
advantage of this condition ol
nffairs , nnd purchase young stock
for winter feeding , it will go fai
to solve the surplus problem. The
present low price of beef on hoot in
sures n substantial advance in tlio
spring , and with the increased weight
which proper feeding will produce ,
farmers would roalixo handbomoly on
the investment.
Ouu distinguished English guest , Sir
Edwin Arnold , during his recent visit
nt the white house , expressed a senti
ment which the people of this nation
should thoughtfully and immediately
consider. Upon being tolel that various
plans were being mooted for the en
largement or conversion of the execu
tive mansion , ho expressed a wish that
the structure might be loft substantially
untouched ; that the building , while not
ancient in the European sense , was full
of historic interest to the American pro-
plo. It shoulel bo cherished nud preserved -
served so long as time permitted , timt
our pcoplo might look upon the very
scones nnd surroundings nni id which
President Jne-kbon had done such bold
work for the union nnd President Lin
coln hael pondered upon and executed
the immortal proclamation ot emancipa
tion. He feared that a people sc
young and nrdont as the Americatifc
might undervalue the historical monuments
ments associated with their early years ,
that their peisterity , if permitted , will
hold priceless. If wo needed admonishing
ishing in this mutter , thcso words of t <
passing guest shoulel be heeded. The
"white house" is the most historic edi
fice the nation possesses , and its present
proportions , which have remained
almost the same for so many years ,
should bo Ucpt inviolable for the gen
erations to come. Let the government
build n now structure at most any expense -
penso rather than to desecrate the old
mansion by adding to or taking from.
WrmiN' tlio next three weeks the
Union Pacific will have absolute con
trol ot a railroad system from Omaha to
Portland , Ore. , together with import
ant branches in Montana and Washing
ton territory. This js due toi lease made
by the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company to the Oregon Short line ,
under the terms of which the latter
company agrees to pay six per cent per
annum on the stock of the former cor
poration. It is thought that under the
now arrangement the nlfnirs of both
companies can bo more economically
conducted and bettor profits realized.
The sybtom is already earning a sur
plus oyor its fixed charges , and under
this arrangement the Union Pacific
proper will bo released from any obli-
cation on nccount of its western lines.
With such extra facilities for compo1
tition with the Northern and Central
Pacific roads the Union Pacific may add
to its gross and net earnings , which arc
at present said to bo larger than at any
previous time during its history.
A HIIMTAUY commission has beer
appointed to investigate the cause o !
army desertions , which have grown t <
alarming proportions. Ono of tin
principal causes of desertion is the fuel
that men are accepted while in i
maudlin condition or while laboring
under bovoro mental strain bordering
on insanity. Another is the pott ;
tyrrany of subordinate ollicors. Ir
hundreds ot instances enlisted men nr <
compelled to perform menial work fo ;
officers and their wives. Rofusa
means a term in the guard house. I
the commission will formulate a plm
to make soldier life attractive by male
ing the mon feel that they nro no
slaves tied with apron strings , and b ;
abolishing court-martial mockeries fo :
trifling olforisus , the evil of dosortiot
