The registration In this city fools up
about fifteen thousand. 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.

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

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.

to know of it. Ills legislative record is

Now and Then :
" 1800. 1st mouth , 1st : I returned to Mer-

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. Prom
wlmt I could learn it was generally the prac
tice of this neighboiliood to leave tno doors
unlocked , al'hough the turnpike tics ba ono
of the most public turnpike roads iu America ,
only about seven miles from Philadelphia , n
city containing considerably moro than one
hundred thousand inhabitants.
All the good people who live within seven
miles of Philadelphia fl'ul it prudent to lock
their doors now. Tilings imyo changed since
the administration of Thomas Jefferson. No
doubt some of the good people at'Merion have
provided themselves with electric burslar

Tlic Independent Voter.
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. The misconduct ot its
choacn roi > rcseBuUves ( munt.bo extenuated ,

nnd no party ? U perfect , but that , on the

who have no other object tlmn honest and

that ho despised those who belonged to a
party a little. But It is such independent
Americans who matte parties useful publio

On the contrary , wo would have
