thnt the socrotnry of the treasury is framing a bill , to bo in troduced in congress after the holiday recess , embodying the leading features of his plan for Issuing treasury notes on deposits of silver bullion It is expected thnt the measure will bo sent to the colnago committee , of which Mr Con ger of Iowa is chairman , nnd there is some Intorcst in the question of how the cumimttoo is disposed rcgnrdlng now silver legislation The impression is thnt It is a pretty conservative body Mr Conger is bolloved to hold very modornto vlows on the Bilvor quostlon Mr Bartlno and Mr Blnnd nro radical free coinngo men , while Mr Carter of Montana is said to hnvo conservative ideas The rest of the commlttco is pretty well divided and the opin ion respecting it is summed up In the observation of a silver man who tnado a thorough canvass that it i < 3 "nolthor a gold commlttco nor a silver commlttco , but a bimetallic com mittee " The plnn proposed by the secretary of the treasury continues to bo carefully discussed in the castorn press , and whllo it is generally oppo od the admission is nrndo that it there Is to bo any further legislation for increasing the monetary use of silver the plan of issuing treas ury notch against deposits of silver bul lion is to bo preferred to onlarglng the coinngo of silver The moro this project - joct isstudiod the plainer will it appear thnt it is entirely prncticablo , and that there are renlly no serious objections to it Its very simplicity commends U , nnd there Is every reason to bolicvo that if adopted it would have the bene ficial effects predicted by the secretary - rotary of the treasury It would have the snmo induunco upon the price of silver as would free coinngo , while at the snmo time a moro conserva tive policy and far loss expansive Why , therefore , Mr Bland nad other advo cates of free coinngo are not favorable to it nppcars strongly unreasonable , since it is clear that everything to bo gained in behalf of silver through the policy they want would bo equally certain - tain to bo acquired under the plan of the secretary of the treasury The chief objection of Mr Bland Is that the plnn ould mnko silver simply a com modity , but that is practically what silver is now and what it must continue to bo while the present policy is main tained Free coinngo would , indeed , relieve it of this character , but the country does not want free coinngo nnd the best that can be honed inr is a compromise such as the secretary of the treasury has proposed It will reduce the surplus of silver bullion in the worlds markets , give the people an additional supply of currency , stop the accumulation of silver dollars in the treasury vaults , save the useless expense of coinngo and would bo en tirely safe It would moreover pave the way for substituting silver bullion for banks as the basis of national bank cur ronc3' , which would rcstoro the equili brium between gold nnd silver , ralso silver vor to its old ratio and keep It there for an Indcliuito period run suaAit nvvrixnusrirr The sugar beet industry is exciting widespread interest throughout the country , not only in cities uud towns , but nraong fanners who are vitally concerned - corned in all movements promising ro- numorative returns on their crops Experiments nnd investigations have demonstrated that the soil of the north western states is ( particularly adapted to the cultivation of the sugar hoot Samples analyzed yielded all the way from twelve to nineteen per cent of sugar the lowest equalling the pro duct of Franco and Germany An in dustry promising such profits naturally attracts the attention of both capitalists and producers The success of the Industry has passed the domain of speculation In Cali fornia Onus spreckels , the shrewdest of sugar kings , has given orders to treble the capacity of his factory , the first in the state , and under his inspira tion hundred of farmers propose to enter actively into the cultivation of the sugar boot , Nebraska does not propose to lag in pushing this Importnnt industry to the front The erection of a mammoth sugar-factory by the enterprising cltl- zoiib of Grand Islund is the first stop in what promises to work a revolution in the agricultural wealth of the state The confidence ) displayed by the cap itnlists is an assurance that they have thoroughly weighed , the elements of success , nnd having found thorn satis factory , have backed their faith with money It is not necessary hero to dis cuss the profits The fact that the Silo sian beet , extensively cultivated in Franco , yields twelve per cent of sugar and is profitable allko to producers and consumers , is a. guaranty that the Nebraska - braska boot , yielding fifteen to seven teen per cent of BUgar , will not the ( armors nnd factorymon equally hand some profits The difference in per cent of sugar together with the state bounty of ono cent a pound will offset the ad vantage of cheap labor , uorfoction of processes uud cheapness of product en joyed by the Fronoh sugar makers , The difference in the market price of tlio product is also an element in favor of the American roQnor Deputy Labor Commiesionor Jenkins , who has mudu an oxhuustlvo investiga tion of the subject , predicts a prosper ous future for the sugar beet industry in the west , Other towns will follow Grand Island in the erection of factories and it is not improbnblo that within live years the industry will become ono of the most important and profitable in the statu The low prices obtained for corn this year force farmers to seek ether and moro romuuoratlvo crops Estimating sugar boots ut four dollars u ton , from sixty to eighty dolfnrs can bo ronlizod from nn aero Even if one half this sum Is netted , the profits would bo greater than is derived from any cereal cropjiow raised A A'fiir UOXE INDUSTRY , The builders of Omaha might profit ably copy the now dopurturo which is reported from Berlin In that city they have recently established a mortar sup ply warehouse at which contractors for buildings can purchase roudy-mado mor tar in any quautlty and of any quality BBMIiHHHHHHHHHMHl There Is nn enormous waste of mortar during every building season nnd very few bulldors nro capable of mixing mortar for walls or plaster ing as It should bo nnd of the proportions prescribed in the specifica tions Very often bulldors have to im port mortnr mixtures for costly build ings that require mortar of varied colors A mortar factory would riot only supply all these wants on short notice but save n great deal to the bulldors in the way of transportation charges _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TUE rt'JJST AND THE BASKS The comptroller of the currency said , in a recent interview , that the west , it it would but realize it , has more to gain from the oxtonslon nnd improvement of the national banking system than any ether part of the country It is the section - tion towards which surplus capital is constantly traveling from the great com mercial centers in search of Invest ment In the opinion of the comptroller , if the banking laws should bo liberal ised by reducing taxation to the lowest point nt which the expense of maintain ing the national system will bo amply mot , and a means bo provided for per potuatlng the national bank currency , the security afforded to investors will draw money all the tlmo Into the west , nnd glvo this section a continunlly in creasing fund for the development of its resources The comptroller stated that in Nebraska between one-fifth and one-fourth of the onnk shares nro hold by non-rosldcnts , for the most part custom Investors In Iowa a like proportion prevails In Kansas nbout fivo-thlrtconths nro hold by persons outside of the stnto Many eastern capitalists , remarked the comptroller , are afraid to invest in lnnd , and nothing will induce thorn to take shnros in state banks or iti private concerns "Itvill ] ? a good thing it the western people , " ho said , can bo made to see tlio great advantage they will reap from strength ening the system and making a wise use of it " Thcso suggestions are worthy of con sideration Obviously the west is nt least as deeply concerned aB any ether section In havincr a sound nnd secure banking system , furnishing nmplo lacllltios nt all times for meeting its financial requirements This the national banning system does , nna the hostility to thnt system that has boon manifested in the west was duo to a want of intelligent appreciation of such fncts as Comotrollor Lacey suggests Opposition to the system still exists , but it is less pro nounced than formerly , and it can bo said that the most intelligent opinion of the west is in favor of perpetuating the national banlc system it anrneticablo way to do so can bo devised that will bo just to the public interests The comp troller of the currency has proposed several modifications of the law in tended to relieve the banks , among thorn a reduction of the tax , but some thing moro than what ho proposed will need to bo done if the system is to bo maintiunod in its present condition No practicable scliomo hns yet boon devised - visod and this mnttor will very likely engross a great uoal of the attention of the banking and currency committee of the house , of which Congressman Dorsoy of this state is the chairman Moan while wo sco no reason to apprehend danger to the interests torosts of the banks from western hos tility Any legislation that will bo at on co nolpful to the banks and fair to the public interests will have the ap proval of the intelligent sentiment of the west _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ rnV MAYOlt AND COUNCIL Mr Cushlng will assume the office of mayor within a few days The duties that devolve upon the mayor of this city can only bo properly exorcised by a cordial co-oporatlon of all the co ordinate branches of municipal govern ment Although a majority of the now council will bo republican , and its officers should by rights bo republicans , no good citizen who desires good government will countenance or en courage any attempt on the part of the council to obstruct the now democratic mayor in the full and frc oxorclse of his prerogative as chief executive The poonlo of Omaha have oleotod Mr Cushing mayor and they will hold him responsible for the faithful , hon est and clllciont administration of the alTnirs of this city If Mr Gushing exercises good judg ment in the solcction of his subordin ates , and nominates competent officials to the various places that are to bo filled by him as mayor , bo will bo justly en titled to praise and commendation While it is true that the council shares with the mayor the responsibil ity for appointments that roqulro the assent of the council Tins Bee will discouutouanco any attempt on the part of the council to diotuto ap pointments or to obstruct Mr Cushing in making such changes as ho' may doom best Only in case Mr Cushing should attempt to foist upon the city for important positions , man who are notoriously riously disioputablo , dishonest or incompetent - competent will the council bo uphold in interposing its vote The pcoplo have decreed a change , and they will only tolornto resistance to the mayors will or wish whoa he at tempts to mnico chungos that would ma terially affect the welfare of this city

, 1837 , thnt a radical change was noticed in the public mind In Grcnt Britain with regard to the quostlon of homo rule In Ireland , Slnco that tlmo the electoral tide has been flowing continuously nnd steadily toward a high water ninilt The lotal not gain of stats by the liberals smco August , 1SSC , has been cloven ; and It Is also to bo noted thnt the rate of liberal gains appears to Increase In the period of twelve months ended with July , 18S7 , ono scat was gained ; in oightcon months , to the end of 1SS3 , a bal nnco of five scats was won ; and in ton months of the present year another balnnco of 11 vo scats has been added ; while , what Is remarknblo and ominous , every seat contested in Scot land and Wales has been carried by the liberals , in splto of the fact that in the forraor country the anti-Irish members hold ono-thlrd part of the representation ; At the last general election an excess of 75,000 votes in Great Britain Bocured to the government n parliamentary majority of British votes amounting to cighty-nlno ; anil as the excess of liberal votes ut the next olectlon will bo about ono hundred f and fifty-four thousand , this would yield a majority of ISO British mcrabors , or a majority of nlnety-ono from Great Britain , Adding slxty-sovon as the majority of homo rule votes from Ireland , wo would have jl.1l as the probnblo majority favorable to Irol.tud upon a general election The facts really indlcato that since July , 1 S7 , the liberals have done hardly less against the combined forces of tories and unionists than thoydid in 18S3 , with a liberal party in which no open and general schism had boon developed : # , , , * • Costa Rica's ' rntlfjcatlon of the terms of Central American union , as agroedupoa by the lata congress , , mnltos this Important project almost an assured success , nt least in its preliminary stage The attitude of that stnto ou tbo question had been somewhat doubtful , slnco during its recent presiden tial election , which surpassed in excitement nnd vlolonco anything scon there for twenty years , the partisans of Rodriguez had often been i represented as generally opposed to Central American union , ana these of Esqulval as generally favoring it yrho triumph of the former accordingly seemed unpromising for the plan ; but the news now is that It is rat ified even by Costa Rica That the now union , whoso general government is to begin on September 15 with the inauguration of a president , should bo umvorsally favored can not bo expected , Two out of our thtrtoon states at first refused to approve the terms of union of a century ago , and the three great states of Massachusetts Virginia and txew York ratiflod them only by remarkably narrow majorities So far as cun bo learned the sentiment for union Is quite as strong in Central Amonea as It was In our country in tboso days There is a strong probability that the now republic will bo firmly estab lished and with happlor results , lot It bo hoped , than the former confederation of the sumo llvo states • The rcassombling of the Cortes and the reopening of party struggles in Spain bring Sagasta no end of troubles Ills effort to rcorp.inlzo the
