Such nn In quiry should include information re garding the extent to which such prop- srty is mortgaged , what proportion of it s free from debt , how much of the arming lands of the country are owned by those who cultivate thorn , ami the amount that is cultivated by tonnntssuch Information to beef course , arranged by stales. The importance ot carefully obtained statistics ot this kind , for obvious economic reasons , will not bo questioned. At present the country Is wholly with out information ot n trustworthy character - actor showing the condition of its farm > rnporty , so that there Is no moans of cnowlng whether one of Its greatest ntorosta is obtaining an equitable fihnro of the wealth It creates , or whether It Is as a whole irosporous or tlio reverse. A great leal of loose statement and intentional misinformation regarding this matter ins been given the public within the ast fewyuars , the effect of which ha > been more or less to the disadvantage ot tlio farming interests , particularly n the west , and under existing cir cumstances anything stated with a show of authority carries some wolght , locauso there is no way * to disprove it. The only way to obtain this Informa tion so that it shall bo as trustworthy as data difficult to secure , and subject o constant changes , can bo , ia for the { ovornmont to prosecute the inquiry. 3ongros3 not having made provision for this , further legislation will bo necessary , and doubtless there will jo no trouble in securing this if the in terest most concerned shall nsk it. For , ho purpose of getting an expression of , ho farmers of the country on this mat ter the Western Economic association iias issued an address , setting forth the desirability of including in the next census information re garding the condition of farm iiroporly in the United Stales , and roc- xnmcnds that this address bo adopted jy bodies of farmers , organized or nn- orirani/.cd , and sent to Washington. Elbowhore in THK BUK will bo found a communication from the president and secretary of the association giving in 'ull the action of that body , and the at- .entioii of f arjnera is invited to it. If the farmers of the .country generally will unite in making this appeal to con gress there can bo little doubt that it will receive favorable consideration. SPANISH There has just been issued by the gov ernment an elaborate work by Mr. William E. Curtis , representing the state department in charge of the tour of the delegates to the Pan-American conference , which presents a most com plete and comnrohonsivo statement of our commerce with Spanish America , nnd gives much other information re lating to this subject which is of pecu liar interest at this tiino. From this volume it is learned that the total population ol Spanish America , including the West Indies and Brazil , is nearly equal to that ol the United States , being over fifty millions. A very small proportion of this population consists of non-pro- ducord , there being only about half a million Indians in South and Central America , so that nearly every inhab itant is a contributor , directly or indi rectly , to the exports of the country in which ho lives , and to a degree a con- sdmor of imported merchandise. The exports ot these countries are ra-w materials , their na tural or cultivated products. _ The im ports are manufactured articles from Europe and the United States. In several of them , as Mexico , Guatemala , Chili and Brazil , there is some manu facturing , but the product is not equal to the homo demand , which has to be met by importations. In fact , in none ol those countries are tlio mechanical in dustries of such extent as to merit seri ous consideration In trade calculations adding , as they do , but very little tc the wealth and commerce of the conn- tries. A few steamers would carry the entire annual product ot the factories of the two southern continents , and the increase is so small as to offer no com petition to foreign producers. But in the resources of agriculture nnd In the production of raw material all of these countries are rich , nnd in their devel opment most ot thain are making rapid progress. Thus Chili , the Argcn tlno Republic and Uruguaj are exporters of brcadstuffa and"aro also largo producers ot sheer and cuttle , in which they are likely tc become at no very distant titno compet itors of the United States in the Euro pean markets. With tho'exception o ; pork and dairy products , in which the Sputh American countries will never bo able to compote witli us owing t < climatic conditions , and of which thoj will continue to bo largo nnd incrcns ing consumers , these countries wil eventually have a sufficient local sup ply of food products and became active rivals for the trade this country now enjoys In Uuropo. The trade of the fifty millions ol people south of the Rio Grande und tin Gulf of Mexico amounts to one thousam millions of dollars annually , noarlj evenly divided between exports and im ports , und in the countries eouth of tin Tropic of Capricorn , these of the torn porato Hoil of South America the foreign commerce is in creasing with amazing rapidity , O the largo and increasing import traOU of these southern countries , whiol doubtless last year exceeded five hundred drod million dollars in value , tin United States got only a very smal proportion. About sixty-nine mlllloi dollars was the vuluo of our exports t these countries , while wo purchase' ' from them products to tli vuluo ol over ono hundred ant sovonty-flvo million dollars , I other words , wo bought thlrty-flv per cent of what the countries Eouth c us hud to soil and sold thorn loss Urn 11 f teen per cent ot what they purchased over eighty-live per cent of their In : ports coming from Europe , This fulrl represents the situation for the pus quarter of a century , during which time it Is estimated wo hnvo paid to the southern countries In the settlement of balances a sum greater than the prin cipal of the public debt at the close of the war , nnd additions continue to bo made to the enormous total at the rate of ono hundred nnd ton million dollars n year. These figures impressively show the necessity of an earnest cfforton the part of the United States to improve its ex port trade with the SpanUh-Amorican : ountrlcs , and they indicate the great importance of the thrco Americas' con- jrcss.callodtodlscuss methods for bring ing nil those countries into closer commercial relations nnd ospecl- illy to improve and enlarge their trade ntorcourso with the United States. There are some obstacles In the way ot accomplishing this wbich may not bo easily overcome , but which will not irovo to bo insurmountable if np- iroachod in the right spirit. The for eign dologatea leave no doubt In their mbllc expressions of n desire to culti vate moro intimate and extended trade relations with this country , and the re sult , it appears likely , will depend nrgoly upon ourselves. O.V TUB niiOAI ) OAVQE. OHAIU. Oct. 21. To the Editor of Ins 3nn : Every thinking jiorson who owns jropcrty or docs business in Omaha must nd- tnlro your defense of tlio Interest * of tlio poo- pics agnlnit jobbery \ > y city nnd county oM- cluls and the grucd of tlio'railway corpora tions. I bullovo the FO-callcd union depot should bo built , and shall veto for the Tenth street viaduct , but while the city of Omaha will pay for It , xvhy not have ono the full width of the street , ami not Uuve an oyo-soro 'or strun ors to vlavr from the union depot } [ n that case wo would have n peed ntroot If the union depot was not n prcnt cdlQcc. The people or'rival cities admit that in less limn ton years Omahn will have a population of thrco hundred thousand. How about nar row viaducts then ? There may bo ten moro railroads running to Oaiaha in loss than ton yours. Will cuch now ubinpany "bo ullowo 1 the use of the union depot for n "rcasonablu" rontnl ? I bollcvo it Is safe to say the majority oC the people of Omnim applund the broad gnURO Ido.is of Tne UEE , and look to it to Drotuct thorn la matters above alluded to. Yours truly , T. L. The viaduct , as planned by the city engineer , is to bo eighty feet wide. That was the width.ugrood u pen by the owners of property abutting on Tenth street. While wo should have pre ferred to have a viaduct built over the whole width of the street. AVO consider eighty foot ample for all the travel and trallle between the proposed union depot and the heart of the city. Broad way , in Now York , is only eighty feet wide , and very few , if any , of the via ducts in American cities exceed eighty toot in width. As wo understand it , the intention is to narrow Tenth street from Jackson over to Pacific street to eighty feet , and convoy to the owners of adjacent property the ton feet frontage between the viaduct and the present building lino. Whether all the Iowa railroads and all projected roads willavailthemselvcs of the Tenth street union depot , is prob lematic. It will bo manifestly to the interest of the union depot company to offer reasonable terms to all the roads if the depot desires to earn any income on its investment. The only thing we are not clear about is the toll which the Union Pacific will exact for cross ing its bridge. That will depend largely on the disposition of Union Pacific railroad. Under the ordinance passed by the council , the bridge tolls uro to bo fixed by arbitration in case they are considered excessive by any road that desires to cross the river. To insure fair arbitrators , the city should have the right to name ono arbitrator , the Union Pacific another and the road seeking a crossing the third. 'SHE ARMY President Harrison has shown rare judgment in the selection of Lieuten ants Theodore E. True and John M. Hyde , of the Fourth and Eighth infan try respectively , for promotion to the quartermaster's department. .There will bo a general foel'ing of relief in army circles at the advancement of such old veterans from the line to the stall. Tlio various rumors which have been Hying around in the press as to General Harrison's intentions to make such staff appointments from civil life , instead of from the army had a very disquieting oll'ect upon the line where the prospect of promotion to such vacancies has always heretofore acted as a spur to good service. Tins Biu's special dispatches some months ago indicated that it would bo the settled , policy of President Harrison risen to adhere to the line marked out by his republican predecessors in tlio matter of staff appointments. Thd se lection of General Alexander of lown was a departure to some extent from this policy. But in the case of General Alexander , the president chose an ox- army ollicor of admirable record und with the best of personal qualifications. In the case of Lieutenants True nnd Hyde , however , two lieutenants who have served continuously in the ttrmj Binco the very opening months of tlio war , and nro among these heading the list of first lieutenants , tire given n promotion which they well deserve , nnd are elevated to a 'stall department with which they have been indirectly connected for many years. Lieutenant True was stationed for o long time in the department of the Platte , u portion of his service being at Fort Omaha and the remainder in Wyoming. Ho is n cultured , refined , hard-working ollicor , n favorite in his regiment and in every way fitted foi the position which ho will ut once assume , Lieutenant Hyde , of the Eighth in fantry , is now stationed ut Fort NiO' brnrn as the adjutant of his rogl mont. Ho makes the second quarter master chosen from the Eighth in' fantry within two years , his predecessor ser being Captuln Suntmorhayes. Ai promotion in the Eighth infantry hui been for years among the slowest in th < army , the selection of Lieutenant Hyd < will give a welcome advancement t < several other veteran subordinate olllcei-d. Tun republican county commlttoi ( should join with the democrats in an effort fort to test the constitutionality of tin rogislrntlonTnw , and no time should be lost in involving the aid ot the supreme court.

To the Editor of Tnu Bcc : I do not wish to enter Upon a contro versy "to be continued , " thrcmim the me dium ot your valued newspaper , but request the privilege of noticing the letter of li. W. Brcckenridgo printed In your paper on the ? JJ hist. , for the reason that the charges therein contained might bo consldcrod ad mitted 1C not controverted. Mr. Urcckeurtdgo in ado his professional debut in this city us a clerk nnd student In tl.o ofllco of Oroft & Montgomery. lie wns there taught to bo cnrelul and truth ful in his statements. Such training nnd his life since as an upright , nblo nnd honorable gentleman nnd lawyer , should have provent- oii such nn exhibition ot foolish und reck lessly unreliable statements as bis letter presents. II is true tlmt our democratic lawyers con ceded the propriety ot the selection ol n re publican lawyer to succeed Judge Groff , but they always did BO with the proviso that ho should bo uhos.n ! by the bar of the district , nnd bcuauso they believed the boiioh should bo of a non-partisan character. This was agreed to and with the oxprcssutiderslunding that the bar nt least should bo bound by the selection made. It was so stated as the un- dorstnudlng between Mr. BreekeuriUgo nnd myself during n conversation of n prlvnlo character regarding candidates prior to the call for the bar meeting. The republican candidate , II. .T. Davis , temporarily Judge , by favor of Governor Thnycr so understood it , ns is evidenced by tus hesitancy in accepting tlio republican nomination. That ho M > understood it is also evident from the anxious attempt of his uup- porters to explain tils position. It U not true that the Douglas county bar Is numniit-ally democratic. Possibly one- third are democrat" . No moro. Again , It is not true that we wish to dic tate. Two .years ago wo offered to support throe republicans if the republicans would coucedo Juugo Wakeley ns our candidate , nnd consent to the selection of tlio three re publicans by the bar. This proposition wns refused , nnd hence followed ttio light for n non-partlsau bench , resulting In tlio election of the present judges , Including Groff. over the lenulrti- nominees , by majorities ranging from 4,000 to 5,000. Still the ward politicians were not satislied , but they were warned. Continuing'tho light Una fall , they repud iate again the non-partisan candidate and nominated another republican , who in honor was bound not to accept their choice. Never theless , he is a man and lawyer of high character and 8tanduir ( , acting from a mis taken scnso of duty to party. Why was he chosen ? Because , as several of the delegates hnvo told me , ho was the only man of all who were mentioned who would have any clmnco of election. They were forced to take him by the non-partisan sentiment In this district , which demands good men , IIo could not have been chosen other wise. They hope to elect , him and thereby defeat the non-partisan idea , when they will return to the habits of former years wherein political standing rather than fitness for of llco has covcrncd. Again it is not true that n majority of the democratic lawyers favorcil Mr. Clarkson. I would bo willing to poll the vote and yield tno light if Mr. Clurksoi did not luvo : moro republican supporters than democratic , nnd further , If tlid republican supporters ns whole did not constitute n majority of the lending republican lawyers of moro than two yours standing at this bar , present at the meeting. It Is not true that the democratic judicial convention merely endorsed Clarlcson , If morn than nn sndorHoment ho required. 'Iho democratio supporters of Mr , Davis de manded u ballot for nomination , nnd n ballot , xvns had , and Mr. Clarkson was nominated , not , however , us n democrat , but , neverthe less , ns the candidate ) of the party , which ra- uialtiod true to Its n-cord in favor of non- pariisiunship in Judicial elections. Mr. BrccUcnridgo's suggestion as to the manner of the selection of delegates to the democratic. Judicial convention is nonsense. They were selected by n largo committee ap pointed b.v the county convention , and there was no dictation by unv ono , each member of the committee selecting a certain member from hla ward. It is true that the democratic bar Is In favor ol n non-partisan Judiciary , nnd I hope it always will be. It Is ulso true that demo cratio lawyers wish to assist in naming the candidates. It is , in my opinion , unsafe to leave the matter whollv to a political conven tion of either party. In order to have true non-partisanship , democrats should have n voice in imming the- republican candidates , and lepuhllcans In naming the democratic candidates , Mr. Breckcurldgo IB ngaln wrong lu hla state in cut that the republican party u major ity of 8,500 votes or anything like It In this district. I have be f ere mo the nniclal tabu lated statement of the vote last fall us com piled by Secretary of State Laws. It shows tlmt tlio Harrison o let ; to in the counties comprising this district , had a majority over the Cleveland electors of exactly ( i5 ! ) votes. If wo take the votes cast for tlio candidates for tha ofllces of lieutenant governor , secre tary of state , treasurer and auditor of pub- Ho accounts , being thoao little affected by local considerations , nnd by piopor addition uud division average their majorities , luliowa n republican majority in tbo district of Just H3. If wo average In the same manner the vote for all tno state ofllcors , it shows n largo democratic majority , owing to the largo voot cost for the democratic ] candidates for gov ernor nnd attorney general by reason of var ious influences. Ir. view of those facts It run hardly bo proper to charge democrats with "audacious dictation" In seeking a hearing in the selection of our Judges , And , further , In view of these Hcures , the Issue is not one of republican supremacy , backed Cy Invincible odds ; neither la it nquos. . tion of sustaining u "splendid nomination , " bulls the old question over again : Shall the judiciary of this district bo controlled by po litical considerations , or by non-partisan lu lluencos and true business considerations ! For many years the non-partisan Idea ha < i prevailed , and has kept upon our district ijoncli democrats Savage , Wnkoloy nnd Doano , nnd republicans Neville , Ore ft und Hope well. I call upon mnn of all claasc ! who may at any time bo required to Bubmll valuable rU'hta und Intor'.aU to the consider ntlon of our judges , to udhoro to the practice go long und firmly established.

Census Show tha Mortengo Imlebtmlncss on Farms. There Is a growing feeling that tlio farmers nnd other wealth producers do not receive nn equitable return for their toll. The state ment Is rooontcdly uindo tlmt "tho rich nro growing rielior nnd the poor poorer : " that nlnoty-nvo per cent of the wealth of the country Is owned by less than five per cent of the population ; that thrco-flftlis of nil the wcnltn Is in thu bnnds of less than thirty thousand persons , and that the sturdy , self-respecting farmer Is becoming the American peasant. Lack of facts upon which to base conclusions 1ms random ! even theorizing valueless , nud Ignorance of the truth makes the prevalent discontent only moro dangerous. The first requisite to nu- Intelligent discussion of the subject Is n knowledge of the actual facts of tlio ciiBo. Up to this tuna none of any Importance have been collected. Much statistical Information has been gath ered nnd published to show the production of wealth In this country , but none to show its distribution. An Important step in this di rection , In fact the primary step , would bo the collection of data to show to what ex tent the farms anil the homes the basis of our civilization uro owned by their occu pants nud frco from debt. Correspondence lias been had with tlio chiefs of the bureau of statistics of the various states , asking thorn whether they bad collected any such Information , With singular unanimity they reply that the fncts ure of grout Import ance nnd ought to be collected , Cut tiiat ttio labor and expense of such an Investigation nro too great to bo undertaken by a state bureau and that the worl ; naturally devolves on the national census. Mr. Uobort P. Porter , superintend ent of the cluvonth census , m reply to cor respondence on this subject , su.yn tlio not. authorising the census tlid not contemplate tl.o collection of these data ; that before ho can undertake the work there must bo spe cial legislation b.v congress instructing him to do so , and'thut hn will lay the matter before - fore the secretary of the Interior with u view to securing aucli legislation. There is no doubt that If n general public do in and existed , the legislation could bo secured. The country cannot afford to watt till another census for the facts , us at least , fifteen years would ho required to nmko them public , ana in these days of the rapid concentration of wealth into n few linnds Unit , tiuio Is too long for n first diagnosis of the case. By that date the patient will bo fatally 111. With n view to creating such a demand the Western Economic association of St. Louis. 1ms issued this address to the farmers nud other wealth producers of the country. The practical method of procedure is for any body of such individuals , cither organized or unorganized , to adopt resolutions of tho'fol lowing character and to send thorn to Wash ington : Whereas , There Is n growing belief that the farmers nnd other producers of the coun try do not obtain nn equitable share of the wealth which they create , nnd that the larms and the homos of the country uro very largely under mortgage ; und , Whereas , Exact Unowledgoon this subject is of great Importance In thu study of the social nnd economic questions of tlio day ; therefore , bo it by [ Insert hero the nutno of the body adopting the resolutions and the locality. ] Resolved , That It Is our Judgment that the next United States census should show what pcrcentago of the people of this country occupy their own farms and homes , und what proportion nro tenants ; nnd of these who occupy their own farms and homes , what proportion have tliolr property free from debt ; and of the farms und homos that nro under mortgage , what percentage of the valuu Is so mortgaged ; nnd be It further Hcsolved. That the secretary of this meet ing bo requested to transmit n copy of thosa resolutions to Hon. John W. Noble , secre tary of the interior , Washington. D. C. , nnd n copy to the congressman from this District , with a request that ho use his Inllucnco to huvo these facts collected ami published. This matter is neither republican nor dem ocratic. It is purely economic. The appeal is mndo to you personally , the reader. Thu next time you iiro m a meeting of the Wheel , thu Alliance , the Farmers' nnd Laborers' union , ordinary mass meeting , or what not , introduce resolutions expressing these sonti- hicnts , and Bond them to the oQIcmls named. As tliii reassembling of congress Is at hand , nml as considerable tlmo will bo required to procure the noeoHsary legislation and to prepare - pare tlio schedules before tlio next enumera tion , piompt action Is necessary.
