This is not much moro than one-half of the total voting population. If Omaha has only ono hundred thousand populationmid it is generally conceded that ho has , she would have nt least twonty-flvo thou sand persons of voting ago. Of that number twenty per cent might not vote nt n local election , but their names should all bo on the register. Wo con tend that Omaha would have not loss than thirty thousand on the register if the name of every man who is entitled to vote appears on the rogislor. In view of the limited facilities nnd small number of registration places the regis tration la oven hotter than wo expected. In the largo eastern cities there Is ono registrar to every two hundred and and fifty voters , butin Omaha the regis tration shows seven hundred and fifty lo each roplstnir , and if the on tire voting ing population had registered it would have boon fully ono thousand , five hun dred. The result of the registration is suggestive. Next year womusbdoublo or treble the number ol voting places and registrars. No nolling place should bo allowed to have more that five hun dred voters under nny circumstances. TO I'UNISH 'UIE It appears to bo understood that most , nnd porhnpf ) nil , of the employes in the pension ollico whoso pensions wore ro- rated will bo dismissed from the ser vice. The intention to do this is very plainly indicated In the letter of Sccrc- tury Noble to the ox-chief of Iho cer tificate division of the pension bureau , in which ho says ho dooms It to the best interest of the service that the mon who had been reratctl in the bureau should not con tinue there to exorcise their influence in that direction either by their pres ence or their counsel. About thirty persons in tlio olllco had their pensions rorntod. Most of thcso mon are heads of divisions , so if the puruoso of the secretary of the interior i's carried out there will have to bo an entire reor ganization of the bureau. Doubtless the very general opinion is that there ought to bo n. reorganization , but it is conceivable that a bwcoping dismissal of the re- ruled ollicials might involve boiv.o in justice in individual cases. It will hardly be qucstionod that there ollicials are not all equally responsible for the rornling business , nnd it is highly prob able that some of them are wholly inno cent of any part in instituting this move upon the treasury , having ac cepted their rcrating upon the reasonable presumption that if these superior to them in position did so it was with the warrant of law. It is easy to un derstand that some of these roratcd em ployes may not have given the slightest consideration to tlio legal usuocts of the multor , because , the rorating huvhig received the approval of the commis sioner , they would most naturally ns- sumo that there was authority for it. Undorhuch circuiubtuucos , would it bo just to punish thcso persons by dismibs- inir them from the service , thus not only depriving them of positions in which they have proved themselves competent and faithful , but necessarily visiting upon thorn u stigrali that would follow thorn through life'/ There will bo no difference of opinion as to the expediency of dismissing those ollicials who are in any degree respon sible for the rcrating scandal. It is not clear that their retention would have any such serious consequences ns Secretary Noble suggests. It is altogether probable that they would not continue to cxcrciso their influence for a policy ol rerating. Their experience in this matter has taught them a lesson they will not for get. But it is obviously desirable that an example be made of the moil who are responsible for the rcrating scandal. It may not bo easy to separate the guilty from the innocent , but in the work of purging the pension olllco an effort fchould bo made to avoid doing in justice. now ro OET Tim -inADC. One of the South American delegates to the three Americas conference said in a recent interview that ono of the most serious obstacles in Iho way of our manufacturers getting into the south ern markets has been their failure to study what these markets need. The same thing has just been said in a pub lic address by a Boston merchant who is famllar with the South American markets. Ho said the ques tion of an increased trade with the countries south of us is not a mutter of tariff , or even of subsi dies , but rather of providing just the goods which these countries require. Hitherto American manufacturers have see mod to rcirard this southern trade with complete indifference , while the manufacturers of Europe , nud par ticularly of England , on the other hand , have most assiduously studied the wants of the people of the other Americas and mudo every effort to meet them. Our manu facturers have scorned to bo- llovo either that they would never want this trade , or if they should it would come for the asking. Only a very few of them nave consequently made any effort to acquaint themselves with the conditions that must bo com plied with in order to secure this south ern commerce. The&o are very differ ent from the conditions tlint prevail in this country. The people of South America require certain classes of goods that are marketable only in that latitude , and there uro peculiar conditions to bo observed oven in the method of shipment. The Bos ton merchant cited examples showing how loss has occurred through ignorance in the matter of preparing goods for shipment. In suctions where legal re strictions ore imposed n. to the amount of freight to bo carried either on mule panlors or on the backs of peons , it might bo found necessary to open the huge packing cases sent by American exporters and distribute the contents in smaller loads. Such a pro ceeding could hardly fail to result in moro or lees damage to goods , loading to dissatis faction and misunderstandings , the ton- doncy'of which would bo to jeopardize the trado. Obviously , then , a highly opsontlal , l ( not the most Important thing to bo tlono in order to increase our exports to South and Central American countries rests with American manufacturers. This consists In adapting thomsolvcs-to the conditions of the tloslrod trade , nnd it would seem to bo clear that until they do this neither changes in the tariff nor enlarged transportation r/acllltios would accomplish much tow ard securing us the trade of the south ern countries. The task may not bo altogether simple nnd cnoy , hut the pluck , energy and enterprise ot our manufacturers can bo depended on to accomplish it , however great the diffi culties , and the prize to bo worked for is BO largo nnd valuable as to warrant any effort that may bo necessary to secure - cure it. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Exoucm is known regarding the posi tion of the president nnd secretary of the treasury as to financial affairs lo justify the statement that there will bo some definite recommendations respect ing silver legislationwhich will not bo in line with the unfriendly policy toward silver of the preceding adminis tration. It is understood that the presi dent will say in his message that the prophesies of disaster made by the anti-silver partisans have boon discredited , and that silver has boon performing a most useful part in the financial affairs of the country , lie will say further that the time is per haps not far distant when the coinage - ago of silver may safely bo increased to the maximum amount allowed by exist ing law , four million dollars a month. Ho may not specifically recommend such an increase ut present , but it is expected that ho will very clearly indicate to congress - gross that Iho administration would not ho hostile to such legislation. In a word , the country will bo Informed that the administration , while intending to pursue n safe ana conservative course , is friendly to silver , and ready by every legitimate means to promote its larger employment as a part of the currency of the country. It had been expected that the president would take a neutral stand regarding silver , nnd the state ment that ho will take a very positive position favorable to that metal will greatly encourage nnd doubtless ma terially strengthen the partisans of silver. THI : operation of the now jury system adopted by the two Dukotas will bo watched with considerable interest throughout the country. It is the first attempt to test in modified form the Prussian system , which permits a majority of n jury to rondcr-a verdict in criminal cases , the punishment being scaled from the maximum in proportion to the number voting for "the verdict. By the law of the DaKotus , if nine of thcs twelve men agree in any case , their decision will be accepted as a verdict. This is a departure in the line of reason and common sense , which commends itself. If this method is supplemented by making intelligence n qualification of jurors , it can hardly fail to work satis factorily. Mil. SXYDISII'S campaign pictures are incomplete and misleading. The artist utterly fails to depict the sirloin blushes which perpetually roost on Adam's phiz. It is possible that the supply of carmine was not sufficient to produce the rich autumnal tints which Adam cultivates assiduously. Although Mr. Snyder lays claim to German ante cedents , the artist pictures him with u Napoleonic goatee , confirming the sus picion that ho is a Frenchman in dis guise. There is a notable absence of shamrock sprays and the string which Patricius Fordoau pulls on all state occasions. The artist must , however , bo given credit for butchering the butcher. GEOHGK HEIMIIOD is a man of honor and integrity , nnd has so proven him self in all his business affairs as well ns in public life. As o , member of the legislature ho was one of the very few who stood up manfully from beginning to end for Charles H. Van Wyck. Un like others , who broke their pledges under all sorts of false pretenses , ho firmly withstood all the prcssuro brought to bear upon him nnd lived UD to his pledges without flinching. Such men are very raro-and when they want public posi.tion can always bo trusted to do their duty fearlessly and honorably. Al > AM SNYDEII drew pay as council man and member of the legislature at the same time , but if anybody can toll us what Mr. Snyder has done in either of these bodiou to entitle him to the olllco of county treasurer , wo would like to know of it.

Mr. Robert Sutcllff , a merchant of Shef field , England , and a member of the Society of Friends , "who traveled through Penniyl- yanla at an 'thtly ' * day , injjilcj the following record in his journal , which we copy from Now and Then : " 1800. 1st mouth , 1st : I returned to Mer- ion. * * * I thought it remarkable , especial ly at thin season of the year , that , notwith standing there was a good ( leal of plate in constant use In the house whnre I lodged the doors were never locked nt night , r.or even had any locks on them ; the only fasten ing to the principal front door was a nail or pin put over the latch and even this precau tion was not utifrequontly omitted.

Harper's TTettJu , Independence Is simply the att.tudo of a voter who uses parties instead of suffering them to use him. Ho U so far from denying their value or their necessity In n free gov ernment that Up makes the utmost use of them at over | Kiutlcn. But ho does not ad mit that , In Ofdqr to HBO a party effectively , n voter must become its slave. That , indeed , is the spirit of rtarty which honorable tmd BClf-rcspcctiag'ttncn who use all parties wil ) constantly withstand. Undoubtedly sur render of Independence Is the condition of ofllcial honorsfropi party , liut it Is conceiva ble that from jtuiuperaraont or some ether reason some n)6p ) may prefer not to pay that price. Party' requires unwavering obe dience to all Hsb'elirst3. Its candidates must bo always supported. Its measures roust al ways bo advooqlojl.

It U political independence , thu action of voter * who have no other object tlmn honest and able government aud the enforcement of certain policies" which restrains parties from dangerous excess. Mr. Conkllng used to bay that ho despised those who belonged to a party a little. But It is such independent Americans who matte parties useful publio agencies. Control the Noeroos. Jftio Orlcant I'tcauwit ( Dem. ) In any question where we were called to choose between the possession nnd preser vation ofpurptato' * autonomy and the loss of federal power , wo would decide always in favor of the former , in favor of local self- government. Hut should the iaflucuoo of the southern democracy bo extensively with drawn by voluntary action from the national councils nud the domination of the republi cans overwhelmingly established , thea > vo would have no assurance tlmt the republi cans would not carry out In the most summary manner their fell designs gainst the white people of the South , On the contrary , wo would have the rcry worst to fear. The re publicans , when they had the power , con stantly disregarded the power ot the consti tution ot the United States. They violated nnd defied it nt plcaan.ro nnd under similar circumstances would do it again. The southern - orn people nro thus constantly kept in nn nt- lltudo of self-defense , and they nro called Upon to nsk themselves whether they should not. by every tncnns In their power , employ their talents In soon ring nnd maintain ing control of the negroes , nnd thereby hold on to thnlr plnca In the great democratic party nnd their Influence In national affairs.
