-I 1'nOSVKllOVS HALF TK.tR.
Advixnco shoots of Dun's Soml-Annual
rovtow of tnido furnish tin interesting
exhibit of the commercial prosperity of
tlio country during the past six monlliH ,
The facts and figures produced olTcctif
ally dispose of the cry of "html times. "
The number of business failures In the
United States during the first half of
the year was five thousand three hundred
and eighty-five , compared with fifty-
six hundred nml three during the first
half of 1889 , a decrease of two
hundred and eighteen. The total
liabilities were sixty-five million three
hundred and nineteen thousand three
hundred nnd eighty-four dollars , a de
crease of live hundred and ninety thou
sand dollars compared with the same
iwriod last year.
It has boon aborted that the number
of business failures in Kansas was less
than In Nebraska In proportion to popu
lation. The truth Is tliut tlio record of
Nebraska Is in every roHpoct superior ,
During the put six months the number
of failures In Nebraska aggregated ono
hundred and twenty-eight , with liabili
ties amounting to seven hundred and
forty-three thousand dollars. In Kan
sas , in tlio same time , the nutubur of
failures was ono hundred and fifty-
two , with liabilltie * reaching the
enormous sum of nineteen hundred
and sixty-two thousand dollars , "While
Nebraska's list of failures Increased
four , compared with the number for the
first hall of. 18S' ) , the liabilities de
creased. On the other hand Kansas
records an increa a of twenty-one in fail
ures and a million and n quarter dollars
In the aggregate of liabilities.
The general business of the country is
in n fairly prosp3rous condition. A
marked inuretiso in trade is noted in all
departments and the outlook for the last
half of the year promises to exceed the
record for the past six months.
The report furnlsho } the following in
teresting resume of the condition and
lirospjcts of trade in Nebraska and the
metropolis.

T1IK XKn'Ml WEST.
In the Julj' Forum Mr. Richard J.
Ilinlon. has an interesting paper on the
progress and possibilities of the region
between the Missouri river nnd the Pa
cific oeean. Ho observes that thirty-
four years tigo this vast region was al
most a solitude , practically unknown
even to geographers. Eastward , the
nearest railroad points to the Missouri
river wore Iowa City and Jefferson City ,
both not less than two hundred miles
away. Westward , California had some
twenty-six miles of railroad , nnd it was
several years before this lengthened out
to thirty-one mllos. It was still nearly
two years before the telegraph crossed
the Missouri and moved on westward.
The pony express was evolved during
IS")7. From the Red river to the Gulf of
Mexico and from the Missouri river to
the Pacific ocean the whole number of
persons in the summer of 1836 eould not
have exceeded four hundred and fifty
thousand , of whom the American wliito
population was not over ono hundred
and fifty thousand. The whites
were found in largest numbers
in California , in Oregon , in Missouri , west
of the river , nnd in southwestern Texas ;
twenty-live thousand were in the newly
organized territories of Nebraska and
Kansas.
What a magnificent growth this re
gion has had in the period since , tlio life
time of u general ion. West of the
ninety-eighth meridian there are now
at least twenty-two thousand miles of
railroad , ono hundred and fifty thousand
miles of telegraph wires , and a popula
tion of five millions. Mr. Hintoii says
that of telephone and electric light
cables , in proportion to population ,
there are more miles in use In this
region than elsewhere within the
United States , and there is more prop
erty owned per capita than elsewhere on
the continent. Two-fifths of the na
tional domain is found west of the nine
ty-eighth meridian , and'throefifths of
the remaining public land of the United
States , excluding Alaska , must ho sought
for in the same region , which in tlio
opinion of Mr. Illnton may. support ,
under conditions that are realizable , a
population of ono hundred millions.
iloroln is u suggestion of the vast pos
sibilities of the newer west , What may
not reasonably bo predicted of a region
that has made sueh wonderful progress
In the last throe decades ? Being now so
largely supplied with the facilities for
development , nnd offering in Us great
resources opportunities for enterprise
unequalled elsewhere on the continent ,
why may not this region , within half
the time it has taken to roach itspret-ont
development nnd prosperity , contain a
fourth of the population of the
nation nnd a much larger pro
portion of Its wealth ? The now
states , freed from the rostr.iluts of the
territorial condition , will put forth every
effort to advance their prosporlty , offer
ing whatever libjral induuonnuts may
be neeeshai-y to attract population and
capital. The energies of these commu
nities will bo exerted to the utmost for
the development of their states , nnd
progress In the years to come cannot fall
to be wore rapid than In the period
bluco tlio region of the uowr
west began to emerge from
its wilderness condition. Hut as
Mr. Illnton points out , there is ono
controlling factor In the future ilovoloiv-
inont of the newer west , and that is
provision for Irrigating Its arid lands.
So essential to it , ho remarks , is the
matter of water storage on n scale com
mensurate with the area , that the de
mand therefore will most certainly shape
and give form to all of Its public affairs
and legislative discussion and action , It
seoina probable" that the newer west
must wait a few years yet for sueh pro
vision to bo made , but tint it will ulti
mately come Is as certain ns the con
tinued growth of this section In political
and material power.
DISCUSSING THK It.lTB QUESTTOX.
Today ox-Senator Van Wyclt and T.
M. Marquottc , the Burlington's ' general
nttorney In Nebraska , meet in joint de
bate at Crete to discuss the railroad rate
question. It occurs to us that thisques-
tlon need not ho original. It is admitted
oy all honest people not in the employ
of the railway companies that the pro
ducers of Nebraska have ratioMnl
grounds for complaint of unreasonable
exaction on the part of public car
riers. It has been shown con
clusively by THK 13un time and again
that freight charges on leading staples
are arbitrary and fixed regardless of
comparative distances or service ren
dered. Those glaring abuses of the
freight schedules are exposed in the
comparative tolls charged nt different
points in the state , equally distant from
the place of destination. The people o (
Nebraska know that direct railway regu
lation hits for a long time been de
manded ; jobbers In Omaha and other
wholesale points in the state are aware
that their trade 1ms boon lessened by a
discriminatory and exorbitant rail
way tariff , and the remedy has
often been suggested. If the republican
farmers of Nebraska will turn out to the
primaries and see that mon free from
railroad influences are sent to the state
convention to choose clean and compe
tent men to fill the ticket'then the rail
way abuses will bo stopped. If they al
low the convention of the dominant
party to bo captured by the railroad
cohorts , then they must still yield to the
demands of the highwaymen.
lint for General Van AVyck , who Is
not supposed to bo an export on rail
way figures , to meet in joint debate
a high priced attorney of a great rail
way and discuss the question of rates , is
tin absurdity that will prove u boom
erang. The Burlington attorney will
bo loaded with figures to mystify and
deceive. Like Reynard in the fable , ho
has so many tricks and turns that ho
feels confident of escaping the hunt ,
while the poor cat can only run up n
tree , He will show by figures which
his opponent cannot successfully dis
pute that the cost of building nnd main
taining a railroad exceeds all Us income
save a very small per
cent , and further attempt to show
that the folds of the monopolistic ana.-
condn , as they tighten about the people ,
are little less than mantles of charity.
It is generally understood that local
rates in Nebraska are too high , and the
noonln liuva nn nimortmittv this innnt.1i .
totakoastep that will secure pro per
and effective legislation. They must
attend the primaries and , see that the
right kind of men are chosen to fill the
various ollices.
AJX AQlinKMKXl' OX Stl.rEtt.
The conferees on the silver bill have
finally readied an agreement. This is
that the treasury shall buy four million
flvo hundred thousand ounces of silver
per month nnd that the certificates shnll
bo a full legal tender. The members of
the conference opposed to frco coinage
endeavored to olloot a compromise mak
ing the monthly purchase of silver four
and a quarter million ounces. Thoques-
tion of making the certificates full legal
tender was also a knotty point. The
agreement will probably bo regarded as
a partial victory.for the free coinage ad
vocates , but while if adopted by the
two houses , as probably it will bo , It will
result in absorbing the silver product of
the country , It avoids the two serious ob
jections to free coinage , that it would
bring in foreign silver which would
have to bo paid for in gold , nnd
that the profits of coinage
would go to the owners
of silver. Properly considered ,
it is as fair a compromise of widely
divergent views as could reasonably have
been expected , nnd although It is under
stood that the administration favors a
Umitatlon.of the purchases to four mil
lion ounces per month , the president
doubtless would not withhold his ap
proval from a measure providing for the
larger amount.
Under the proposed purchase of four
and one-half million ounces a month the
treasury tYould absorb fifty-four million
lion- ounces annually , or twenty-
four million ounces more than at pres
ent. According to the report of the di
rector of the mint on the production of
tlio precious metals for the calendar year
1889 , the silver product of our own
mines was approximately fifty million
fine ounces. In addition to this , about
bovon million ounces of silver wore ex
tracted from lead ores Imported Into the
United States and smelted in this
country , and overflvo million
ounces from base silver bars Im
ported , principally from Mexico , mak
ing the total product of our mines ,
smelters and refineries about sixty-two
million line ounces of silver. Of this
about six million ounces were used in
the nrtH. It will thus bo seen that if
there Is no increase in the production of
our own mines , It will all betaken by the
treasury under the proposed purchase of
fifty-four million ounces annually. In
view of the fact , however , that
during the last ton years the
production Increased by twenty
million ounces , in the face of a consider
able decline In the price , it Is to bo ex
pected that It will continue to Increase
under the inlluenco of legislation in
tended to advance the price. It Is no
more unreasonable , certainly , to look
for u production of seventy million
ounces at the end of another .lea. .years
than it would have boon in 1SSO to ex
pect the prosemt production. At any
rate the government will undoubtedly bo
enabled to obtain , nn annual supply o (
Jlfty-four million otlnces without having
to purchase any from abroad.
It Is to bo hoped the prolonged contro
versy over sllvVl'lh nongres will now
speedily coma 'lJ nn end. It has not
been wholly unprofitable , but the coun
try will welcome its termination In some
decisive uctlon that will be fair to all in
terests. . , of

Advices from : Dos Moines show that
original package house ) are flourishing
without Interference. The joints , where
whisky and b&or are sold Indiscrimi
nately , howovdr/'nre causing the tax
payers a hardship that is not experi
enced under a high license law. The
professional spies-under the alleged pro >
hlbltion law of Iowa , are reaping a great
harvest , but the taxpayer foots the bill.
That Is to say , the Illicit joint is open ,
and the constable goes about lodging
complaints from day to day. The pro
prietor of the joint escapes , but the uon-
stable manages to draw about live thou
sand dollars a year , while .the justice ol
the peace before whom the cases are
tried gets about six thousand dollars n
year for bis services. Professional wit
nesses arebroughtln , and us their living
depends nlono upon their Information ,
they are always ready anil willing to
testify in their own behalf. Some ono ol
the proprietors of the joint that has been
searched perhaps goes to jail , but the
county foots the bill. The sale of liquor
goes on the satno as before , and the tax
payer finds that instead of regulation of
the whisky tralllc there is no regulation ,
nnd ho must pay all the bills for prose
cution of the violators.
This is why the farce of so-called pro
hibition in Iowa Is obnoxious , and
why wholesome laws regulating the
trallle are regarded by conservative men
In that state as the only way to properly
treat the liquor question.
.IS .1 STllADDLER.
The Chief Conspirator of the Tarn-
many Twenty-eight club Is now trying
to ride two horses at the same time.
This would not bo dillleult were it not
for the fact that the horses Prohibition
and Anti-Prohibition- going in op
posite directions. The Tntmnany chief
has his heart sot upon gubernatorial
honors , nnd ho is playing in the role of
all things to all men. To the prohibi
tionists ho relates the story of how ho
once maintained law and order and what
ho would do towards enforcing the laws
as chief executive , while to the anti's ho
gives them full assurance that ho Is in
terested in the defeat of prohibition.
But this hot and cold platform will not
succeed.
Mr. Uroatch nnd his few misguided
followers cannot humbug the people.
The Bcheme is too transparent. If the
Tammany crowd .expect to capture
Douglas county on the anti-prohibition
dodge , and then pose ns prohibitionists
in prohibition strpngholds , they might
as well give up the ghost before the con
vention rather than prolong their
miserable existence by eloight-of-hand
and other species of deception and
treachery.
It might bo a good Idea for the Tam
many chief to adopt his general tactics
in disposing of the great question con
fronting the people of Nebraska , that is ,
ho could declare in favor of prohibition
and have his coachman vote against it.
That was the motfiod ho adopted in , his
betrayal of Liningor.
HAXK clearings , building permits nnd
realty transactions are the bestovidenccs
of aclty's ' material growth. Omaha's rec
ord for the past six months demonstrates
its steady progress. Tho" total bank clear
ings for the first half of 18S9 was in
round numbers ninety-seven million dollars
lars ; for the past six months of 1890 , ono
hundred and twenty-three millions , a
clear gain of twenty-six million dollars.
The increase in realty transactions is
equally gratifying , the total for
nix months being a fraction
over nine and a half million
dollars , a gain of nearly two
million dollars over the corresponding
period last year. There has been a
slight falling oil in the value of permits
issued for buildings , as shown by tlio
record. In reality there lias boon an in
crease of two hundred thousand dollars.
No permit was issued for the city hall
now under way , nor for the viaduct nnd
union depot , on both of which consider
able has been expended In preparatory
work. The recora as a whole furnishes
substantial proof of the steady advance
of the city , financially and materially ,
despite the fact that general enterprise
in all departments is seriously checked
by the fears of prohibition.
THK assurance is again given out that
the Tammany club was organized to
"discourage the use of money in elec
tions" and "purify the ballot. " The in
dustrious distribution of boodle in fifty
dollar rolls and in banquets junt now in
dicates that the club is sticking to prin
ciples with all the alacrity that distin
guished them when handling the demo
cratic fund lust December. As for "pu
rity in elocfions , " the olTorts of the btal-
warts to capture the Third ward delega

wlshcil for something to read something
not too heavy , something Unit you could bo
Interested In from the llrst word and that
should not lie too long for the time nt your
disposal ? Well , wo are prepared to supply
you with that something.
Ilavo you ever felt a pressing anxiety to

Don't you llnd puzzling references in your
newspaper occasionally , or hear mutters men
tioned In conversation that you would like to
understand moro fully , or llnd yourself hesi
tating in your business for want of knowledge
of some sciciitllie. principle or Invention ) \Vo
are pa-pared to Jill that want , too.
Turn to tlie advertising columns of THC
Br.r. and you will see Just what wo moan.
\Vo will furnish you a complete set of tbo
Amcrirnnl/cd Uucyclopivdla Britannic. Jt
will do nil the things wo have spoken of ;
supply your boys with attractive , entertain-
ng and improving literature ; furnish plenty
of tlio most delightful reading for yourself ,
anil tell you in simple , understandable Inn-
guauoall you want to know about every
subject in the whole range of human knowl
edge.
And the work which wo are introducing to
you Is no cheap or lustily potton up affair. It
Is a better eao.yclop.udia than can bo bought
elsewhere for three or four times the money.
It has all the merits of the celebrated 03n-
cyclopaiOia Jiritnuniru , on which it is
founded , with none of Its defects , livery
subject discussed in the latest , EnglUti edi
tion will bo found witliin its'pages. Tlio ar
ticles thut have been most reduced In lenKth
are those devoted to the subjects in which
tbo intcreat of Americans is necessarily far
less keen than that of Englishmen. Ko
American , for exemplo , wants to wmlo
through solid pages of a description of an
English county or parliamentary borough.
IIo may want to know where the country or
borough is , its population , the character ot
Its Industries , Its modern or antique ob
jects of interest ; but , these things tola him ,
bis interest is at nn cml. On the other hand ,
when the question Is of an American state or
city , ho wants to know all about It. It is to
him what the English county or borough is
to tlio Englishman , and ho nooils to have it
treated In an equally exhaustive manner.
The compilers of the Americanized Encyclo-
pcdla ; Urltannlca have recognized this need ,
ami , reducing the articles of exclusively
English interest wittiin reasonable limits ,
they have utilized the space thus gained for
the exhaustive treatment , by American experts -
ports , of specially American subjects. Nor
Is this their only improvement. The origi
nal Britamiiea is singularly deficient In
its biographies. It excludes all mention of
characters living at the data now fifteen
years past of the compilation of its latest
edition. The American editors have rem
edied this defect by tbo insertion of a series
of 3,000 biographical articles , in which the
life of every living character Is brought
down to the present year.
The .Encyclopaedia Hritannica , revised to
date , improved by judicious pruning and
copious additions , Is furnished with a com
plete set of now maps and beautifully illus
trated. Such is the Americanized ISncyclo-
piedia Britannlca. And in securing to every
reader of TUB Br.u the opportunity for Its
possession on such reasonable terms wo feel
thut wo have taken a forward step in journal
ism and aided the progress of American civ
ilization. _

For the benefit of voters who arc Interested
In the result of primaries this week , TUB HIK :
reproduces the following editorial which ap
peared In Its columns December 0. 1SSO :
No amount of seif-prnlso nnd hypocrlUenl
Gretcnse can wl | > o out the uglylict that
match's ' career as mayor , from bciimnlng to
end. has been ono of unceasing duplicity. A
double-denier by nnturo nnd training ,
ho has paraded the upper wards
with sanctimonious vlsijo to hoodwink
tlio law nnd order elements , whllo ho wns
clicolc-by-jjowl with the lawless cla-iics of tlio
lower wards. Ho was all things to all men ,
provided ho could use them to further the po
litical fortunes ot W. .1. Uroutcli.
Uroatch waves aside us a tnllo tbo fact Hint
ho sanctioned the payment ot n month's sal
ary to Tom dimming * without the warrant of
law. This Is doubtless n specimen of tbo
"backbone" nbout whlrh ho pnitc * . It U
paralleled by hH bra/ieu conduct in forcing
on the payrolls of the city his chosen political
pots , 'iho power to create new nfllccs is
alone vested In the city couucll.but . the mayor
has Ignored this express authority ninl crea
ted the ofllco oC cleric of the street com
missioner , with n sahuv of fci.X > 0
per year. Placing H. U Sewnnl.
nn clastic tool , In that position , Lirontcli displayed
his ' 'backbone" the
played to comptroller
and ordered that olllelal to place Soward's
name on the pay roll without the authority of
the city council.
Urontch thanks God in ono bronth that
Llnlnger was not elected mayor , and shows
his hypocrisy In another by confessing
that the voted the straight
republican ticket and forced
his coachman to do likewise. Is that the act
of nn honest man I Does ho not by hU acts
prove himself a liar nnd double-dealer !
While ho openly professed allegiance to the
republican ticket , ho had stu-rutly scattered
his hirelings over the dty to work and vote
against himself and his coachm.mil
Mr. Hroatch refers to private matters that
have no bearing on the question. TUB BKK
might , if so disposed , furnish n few chapters
on his connection with ceitaln disorderly
houses ; but lot that pass. Wo propose to
hold up llroateh to the scorn of honest men
on bis record as im omYhu und his duplicity
as a politician. Palaver and falsehood anil
conceit cannot alter the stubborn fact that lie
and his gang outraged the b.illotbox in uu at
tempt to to continue in power , nnd after IxMng
squarely beaten in the convention , notwith
standing efforts to bribe delegates , ho con
spired with the leaders of the "Solid Twonty-
olglit" to defeat the men they
had publicly pledged themselves to
support. They mvoptedtlc-moerutio money to
betray the republican party. With treachery
on their lips und malice In their hearts , they
accepted Air. Liningor's hospitality , while
hours before they hud perfected their pluna
to slaughter him lit the polls.
These nro cold facts which will haunt
Ih-oatch and hit gang 'till Judgment day.
