TilK decaying state of Nevada shows a scant population of forty-live thousand in the consus.

T K people's municipal league is the name of a now organization in New York city. The first plank of the platform reads : "Municipal government Is busi ness , not politics.

Jvuoi : BitKWHit of the supreme court points out in an interview the disastrous oiled of the house original package bill , should it become n law. IIo assorts that Itvlll enable a state to close its doors ng-alnst the products of another , and load to annoying and injurious litiga tion. There is llttlo prospect of the bill becoming n law In its present form , if at nil. Conservative inombors of congress begin to see the folly of hooding fnnutio clamor , and there is good ground for the belief that the bill will bo shelved , at least for this session. THU Bun today prints a crop re port from some seventy counties in Ne braska , which Is gratifying in thoox- tromo. While the average yield ot corn and oats will not equal the crop of last year , there will bo an abundance. In some- parts of the state rains have not been mj frequent as wore wished , but the soil of Nebraska , which retains its moist ure , prevented parching and baking. Compared with ether states , Nebraska stands well to the front thla year as in the past , and a "crop failure' ' is out of the question. Corn Is king in Nebraska , and it proposes to hold its throne. It It is true , as rcportctl , that Presi dent Unrrlson hns drafted n mossturo to congress urging the adoption of the ichcmo of trndo reciprocity with the countries south of the United. States pro posed by Secretary JJlaino , this Is to bo mndo the policy of the administration mthcr tlmn of an imllvldtml member of It , and consequently its importance would bo very greatly increased. Very llttlo attention might bo given by the countries Interested to the dis cussion of this matter so long ns It is ad vocated only by the Eos-rotary of state , but n ? soon ns it shall bo adopted ns nn administration policy It nitty bo cx- ctcd to receive serious consideration from the fcoutbent countries. There ap pears to bo llttlo reason to doubt that iho president favors the general plan suggested by Mr. Blninc , but it la not so certain that ho will at once announce this to the country in the form of a inos- BJtgo to congrc63 , owing to the fact that the larger mnnljor of republicans In both houses tire not friendly to the pro posed policy. Only ono leading repub lican representative has so fur pledged himself to support the scheme , und while there are several prominent sen ators who have , the majority nro not favorable , or at any rate do not think it expedient to attempt to carry the scheme Into ofTect nt present. Undoubt edly the president has boon advised not to press the matter at this lime , and ho may conclude that tills would bo the wiser course , deeming It BiilTiolont for the coun try to know that the proposed policy is approved by the administration. Meamvhilo Mr. Clalno continues to In sist that the course ho suggests is the only ono that promises any real advan tages to the country , and unquestionably his views arc gaining adherents. In bla hwt letter to Senator Prye , Mr. Blaine presents a most plauslblonrgmncnt in defense - fenso of his position. IIo points out that Spain lias long been anxious to enter Into reciprocal relations of trade with the United States , and lie finds in the policy now proposed in the tariff bill regarding sugar a remarkable change of opinion from that which caused tlio failure of reciprocity with Spain sotno years ago. Ho says the only danger of our not securing advantageous treaties now Is the possible ballet of the sugar producing countries that wo nro anxious for free sugar , that by patient waiting they can secure all they desire without money and without price. IIo submits the question , certainly pertinent and worthy of careful consideration , whether wo bhn.ll . pay for all the sugar wo import in cash or seek a reciprocal arrange ment by which a largo part of it may bo paid for in pork and boot and flour , in lumber and salt and Iron , in shoes and calico and furniture , and a thousand other things. In short , says Mr. Blaine , shall wo pay for It all in cnsh or try friendly barter in party and ho thinks the latter conriso ( the highest form of pro tection and the best way to promote trade. Unquestionably it is desirable that wo shall pay for a part or all of the sugar and any other commodities wo import vith our products of the farm and fnc- tory. Everybody must agree to that proposition. Hut the dlfliculty is that the facts ure not of a nature to justify belief that the results of the po icy pro posed by Mr. Bltiino would bo such as lie anticipates. They nro of a character to suggest that the saving to our people of nearly sixty million dollars of sugar duties would bo a greater bone- lit to thorn than the trade likely to bo obtained from reciprocity under the con ditions urged by Mr. Blaino. The total value of our exports to our southern neighbors last year was not equal to the amount paid by the people of the United States In nugar duties , and while It is undoubtedly true that wo might under more favorable conditions than now exist materially enlarge our exports to the southern countries , it is very questiona ble whether the plan of the secre tary of state would produce tlio results which could alone justify its adoption. It is probable that we are already send ing to the southern countries very nearly as much of our .food products as they would take under any circumstances , and our manufacturers cannot compato in South America with those of Europo. CHAXCKS OF TtlK HltEOTtOX JtIIL. The reference in the sotiato of tlio elec tion bill passed by the house to the committee - mitteo on privileges and elections is not to bo regarded as necessarily improving the chances for this legislation at tha present session. It has simply taken tlio regular course , the ( act that the bill was kept so long on the table being no indi cation of any general hostilit } ' to it among the majority party in the senate. The elections committee of the sen ate had really had the subject under consideration for a weak be fore the bill was referred anil had agreed on several timotulnionta to it. Ittsundor- stood that tlieso will materially simplify and modify the measure , removing somu of the features to which tlio stoutest ob jection has been made. For example , the domiciliary and jury features tire to bo stricken out , and it has boon agreed to modify very distinctly the character of Iho oITcnses unilor the law and the pun ishment prescribed for them. In ether respects the house bill will undergo Im portant changes intended to rondir it less obnoxious. The probabilities , however , are against any action being taken on the bill by the senate at the present session , whether the committee having it in charge shall I conclude to report it or not. Senator Teller , who Is a member of the elections committee , expresses the opinion that the bill not bo reached at this session. It id true that the Colorado senator is hostile Its tile to the proposed legislation and will doubtless exert all his Inlluonco to keep the bill out of the senate , but there are good reasons why it may not bo found prnoticnblo to bring it for ward , as well ns some for concluding that thu opposition will bo strong enough to keep the mcasuro in commit tee during the present session. The ox poctntlon is that the tariff discussion will continue at least six weeks , and It may bo the end of September before a vote Is reached , In that case It is rea sonable to suppose that few senators would bo willing to outer upon the con sideration and discussion of a mcasuro which would certainly occupy another six weeks and might run on until the date for the meeting of the second session of congress unless the mnjority should adopt n rule curtailing debate. It Is highly probable that when the tariff matter is disposed of most of the senators will bo found ready to go homo nnd very unwilling to remain. But aside from this Is the fact that a considerable minority of republican sen ators are not friendly to the proposed , legislation , believing that it Is not ex pedient. These \vlll bo strengthened in their position , and perhaps numerically also , by the petitions that are going to the senate from southern republicans and northern business interests protesting against the election bill. It Is plain that the republicans guiiorally in the north are not heartily in sympathy with the proposed legislation , and coupling this fact with the distinct opposition of southern republicans , on the ground that the legislation would certainly work harm to the republican cattso la the south , it is reasonable to suppose that republican senators will see the wisdom of nt least defer ring notion. Even If nn elec tion bill became a law as Into as Octo ber it could not become operative In the congressional oleetions of this year , BO that there is no urgency demanding ac tion at the pre.'ent session. It socmu prott.y safe to predict that there will bo no change this year in tlm laws regu lating federal elections. TIIK excuse given by the Union Pnciflc for the recent reduction of its working force was that business had fallen away. As a matter of fact , the company Is doing more business than in any hummer in its history. This is especially true of the Nebraska portion of the system. The regular and extra trainmen are all busy , and ti majority of them compelled' ' to work overtime an unusual feature of midsummer railroading. The same con ditions prevail on all leading roads in the state , clearly proving that the rail road trallic lias not fallen ofT. TIIIJ work of redistricling the wards of the city must be undertaken on a broad basis. Patchwork will not meet the emergency. An organized effort should bo made by Iho voters of every ward to procure the necessary petition authorizing action by the council , so that the city as n whole can bo redis- trioted. The increased expanse is trill ing compared with the advantage of se curing a full vote , and expediting the count. 'J'ho Western Knipirc. Sliiitf' City Journal.

The ninth annual report of the Law and Order society of Philadelphia ifhows that the number of licensed saloons In that city was 1,773 in 1S37 , boi'oro the Brooks law went into effect , while It foil to 1,7 Ki in 183 , and 1,789 in 1SVJ , rising to 2OM , in ISM. In the years ending .May HI , 1SSS , 1SSO nud IS''Otho ' num ber of commitments to the county prison for all kinds of offenses was us follows : 37.SG7 , 18'JIS und I'.i.lM ) . The doureaso in the year after the bigii license law went into effect was O.iSIO , or about one-third and the slight increase from 1SS8-0 to ISSO-'JD , was easily accounted for by the Inrgcr num ber of licences .granted. In tue matter of nv- rests und commitments for Intoxication on Sundays , the clningo for the hotter was even more remarkable. From Junel , ISili , to Juno 1 , 1SS7 , there were 2,101 such arrests ; in the next twelve months , iSW ( , and in l.syi-b'l , only 831. In the year ending May .11 , Ii90. there were o21 Sunday nrrosta for Intoxication , an other evident result , at le.wt hi part , of the increase in the number of saloons licensed. In t'io f.ico of such figure ) only willful blindness , wo think , can refuse to see in high license a powerful practical check upon the evils of inlomperancv. It is almost impossi ble to ovtulo sucn n conclusion , and the ex- pericncu of ritles much smaller than Phila delphia has demonstrated that no such iv- sults can bo hoped for from uu attempt nt nb- solute prohibition. In great centcis of popu lation , where tliero Is n largo and po'verful element opposed to all forms of restriction of the liquor tr.iftle , the choice between high license nnd prohibition is simply n matter of half n loaf or no bread at all. To insist upon outlawing the sale of intoxicants is to iidvo- cato wholesale Inwlcjaauu nnd. virtual five whisky instead of tlio cutting down of saloons nnd tbo lessening of the evils of ititemporanco by moans of high license.
