WITH four ticlcots in the flold it la Euperlluous to unnounco that the ctun- paign is wide open in Nebraska. T I2 ferocious sons-in-law of the Van- ilorHlts maintain with significant zcnl the family motto : "Tho public bo d-d. " XN quantity and variety , it not qual ity , the qtinrtotto of tickets abroad in the staco ought to satisfy the most fas tidious scmtchor. IN nominatingGcbrgo \V. Pock , the Milvruukco humorist , for governor , the democrats show a determination to transform a political joke into a chest nut. Now THAT the prohibitionists ha-vo placed a ticket in the flold , the imported colouols and professionals will have a chance for another raid on the campaign fund. STATS .elections occur in Arkansas tind Vermont next \vook. As the results tire a foregone conclusion there will l > o no chance for party enthusiasm to bub- bio over. \ViTH the wheat crop in Minnesota and the two Dakotas estimated at ninety million bushels it would not seem that rod-mouthed famine was to play a very important part in the history of the northwest this year. A HOliiKOKTATi raise of ten per cent in the taxes of North Dakota is caleu- latod to forcibly remind the residents of the costly folly of piling on a young state a roster of ofllcors equal to that of Iowa or Nooraska. Tim masterly Inactivity displayed , in connection with tlio world's fnlr has pro duced a significant moderation in the tone of ChUsag-o papers in discussing Now York and the Grant monument. "People in glass houses , " etc. THE democratic ) governor of Missouri proclaims hid sympathy for labor , but cannot llnd anything in the statutes to authorize anoflicial recognition of Labor day , Twas over thus , Democracy rarely fulls to snub those who boost the leaders iutoofllco. THE dethronement of King Kalakaua aud the establishment of a Hawaiian re public is ox pcctcd at any time. It is ' isarod , however , that King Calico has put his throne in soak for rum , and tlio revolutionists would have to redeem it before they could transact business. Q'nu Pullman , car company's stock Is Boiling at two hundred ami thirteen and the company is said to bo earning on the basts of fifty million dollars and paying eight per cent. The Illinois state board of equalization , is after it , but it sots up the pica that it pays taxes In all other states.Yhn a man puts his property on wheels it is sometimes easy to evade the assessor , THK bullldnalrod nro ullll In tlio sad dle in Washington. Notwithstanding favorable legislation which placed mil lions in their pocket , they want the carth and the inhabitants thereof to pay them tribute. The levying of n , tax on Mexican lead ores used in reduction works in this country places nn unneces sary burden on great industries for the benefit of the bullionaircs. Jupou SUOTT of the Illinois state boar.d of equalization stated at a meet ing of the board that fully ono billion dollars of property had escaped taxation in that stato. And the worat part of It JS , the rioh corporations wore the ones wlio had mndo fulso returns. The poor and middle classes had boon assessed hut the rlcli escaped the burden.Vhllo the figures would probably not run so high , in Nebraska relatively the sumo state of affairs oxiata Law makers cer tainly have a Bplondtd opportunity to dovlso luoaus.wlieroly the whole people , In proportion to their possessions , shall pay their just amount of taxos. Whoa such n law shall have boon enforced , the rate of taxation will bo reduced In ft wonderful dogrco. THK I'ROJlTUITZOy TICKKT. The prohibitionists of Kobraslui hafo placed a ticket in the llold. This Is very natural because tlinro are moro prohi bitionists who doslro to build up a permanent prohibition pnrty thun tlioro nro prohibitionist * who uro supporting prohibition an a bul wark of toinpcranco. The strict party vote for prohibition lit this state was a , fraction loss thun ten thousand In 1883 , "but it la doubtful whether tlxo pro hibitionists can muster as many votes for tliolr Btnto ticket this fall ua they did two years , ago. A very lurgo percent- no ; of the voters who voted the pro hibition ticket in 1833 are In 1ho ranks of the Farmers' Alllatico this year and they will nut desert tlie alliance ticket because tlicir candidate for governor , Powers , is an avowed prohibitionist nnd the majority of the candidate * on that ticket are prohibitionists. The now recruits to the ranksof tlio pro hibitionists will this year como from tlio cities , ehlclly from chwcli members who huvo bcoti talked into and. preached Into the prohibition mania. "Wlielhor they will mores tlmn olTsot the prohibition voters who are committed to the alli ance liiskot Ls proMoimtif. The largest giiin for Uio prohibition party will bo made In Douglas county , whore their ticket received but four hundred and thirty votes in 1888. This year they uisvy quadruple thit : number , ns the alli ance ticket will pvautically cut no liguro in Douglas county except among tlio worklnginon , who are nearly all opposed to prohibition. Tlio staunch prohibitionists realize 1 > y tills time that the chances for carrying the amendment in Nebraska are very slim , hence thuy have sagaciously de cided , to hold their forces together with a view of maintaining their atatullnfr in tlio national prohibition Movement , which they hope to make formidable in tlio not verv distant future. J > I1AT11 OF CJ1AKLKS If. DBII'J ! ! * . In the death of lion. Charles II. Dewey Omaha loses not only an enterprising and successful business mtin , but n , citizen vhoso i > ublic spirited liberality and xmfaltoring frlonddhiiicontributed to the material advancement of this city and state. ML * . Dewcy was in the broadest sense of Uio word a cosmopolitan , Uo had viHitcd every land on the f co of the [ jlobo and was u.s familisir with the to pography of Jjondon , Paris , Venice , Naples , Constantinople , Cairo , Calcutta nnd Yokohama as ho was with that of Chicago. San FrmiuUco and New York. 15ut Omaha wius his favurito city and wherever ho traveled Omaha was always held -up as the most progressive of western cities. la every fibre of Ills make-up ho was thoi'oug-hly an Ameri can , and in all his voyages and travels ho took pride in his own nationality and never failed to assert his Americanism on overyoccu- bion. In his manners ho was unassum ing and unpretentious. Iiiko nil men of positive nature , 3io was a true friend era a bitter enemy , and \vhilo \ ho professed no religion ho practiced the tenet's of Christianity by a charity that did not lot the loft hand know what tlio right hand doctb. Such a man leaves a void in the com munity that -cannot easily bo filled. The bill to prohibit aliens from here after acquiring lands within the United Slates was iiccoinpanied. by documents presenting interesting1' and rather sur prising statistics of the extent to which the lands of the country have become the property of alien landlords. The house judiciary committee had prosecuted - cutod a very thorough investigation nnd reported that it had obtained satisfac tory ovidonuo that titled aliens , chiefly Englishmen , now own about twenty-ono million acre * In this country. To this must bo added the ownership of untitlcd nlions , amounting porhnps to quite as much , but being generally in smaller lots is less IL subject of criticism. Be- eldori this direct ownership , European capitalists have enormous sums invested In railroad and land bonds , covering1 , it Is estimated , ono hundred million acres and subject to foreclosure sales. Of course those lands are mostly in the west. The ownership already acquired by aliens , congress , gf course , will not interfere - fore with. It IB not propused that tlioro ( .hull bo legislation , having a retroactive olfcct. There may lie reluctance , also , to establish any laws on the subjeot for future operation such ns it would netlike like to nee emottid in other countries , as for Instance lit Mexico , in regard to the acquisition of real estate by American citizens. But it is felt that some legis lation id nueossary to prevent the ex tension of and chock the abusas in alien ownership. There is now a law apply ing to the territories , and the proposal is to make such legislation general in its scope. There Is universal agree ment that the policy of reserving the lands of the country for the people of the country is wise , but in the legisla tion already enacted tlio exclusion of foreign capital from the mining- enter prises of the territories has tnot with strong objectioa as having the effect to greatly retard the development of such enterprises , It can hardly "bo doubted Hint there is reason in tlila objection , because the law involved a distinct discrimination in favor of the mining Industries of the state , while the fact Hint the people of the territories where raining ia prosecuted - cutod are practically unanimous in favor of amending the law so as to allow of the Investment of foreign capital in mines , must bo accepted 113 pretty conclusive evidence tluit the restriction Imposed by the law in this respect lias operated to their disadvantage. Kot only has there boon no foreign capital invoked in mill- lagIn the territories since the law of 1SS7 was enacted , but a great deal of suoh capital that was Invested In the territories at that time was withdrawn and ro-ln- vested in the sttitos. It is obviously un fair thut such aditicrlmlnatloa against the people of the territories should exist , and 113 It is practicable to roscrvo It without impairing the policy of re serving the. agricultural lands for the American people , it is manifestly the duty of congress to do so. The mining states are free to oflor the moat liberal inducements to attract foreign capital , nnd the people of the territories should nt least bo allowed to further the devel opment of their mining Industries "by accepting such capital when olfurod. OMAHA'S STKKKT ItA The report of the census ollico concern ing the growth of street railway lines during the last ton years , brings the gratifying- Information that Omaha leads nil other cities in the union. In 1880 wo had but four and one-half miles of trackage , nnd cars maio their -weary way propelled by mustang ponies at a .imalMikopuo. : In ton years the track- ago has increased to eighty-nine miles , and with this advance the most modern appliances have boon adopted. Cable and cleulrlo roids : comprise over two- thirds of Omaha's street railway system. In fact tlio horse car Is being rapidly rel egated to the rear , and but a very short time will elapse when the horaoor mule as n , motive power will become a thing of the past in our street railway system , The streetcar figures only boar out the fact that the city has progressed in enterprise with her Increase of people. The eighty-nine miles of track nro in active operation , and servo residents each day. There hitvo never boon any out-of-town additions connected with cnr service in order to sell lots , but each mile built has b".cti actually demanded , Omaha is bounding aliond. In every chan nel of development , and no bolter ovl- donco Of the truth of this proposition can be found than the factof tlio wonder ful growth of her street car lines. AJ10U ? TIME 10 AVJOUllff. The disgraceful proceedings in the liouso on * Wednesday , where men iillinpf positions of dignity and honor- far for got themselves ns to engage in a froo- for-sill fight , suggests the Idea that it Is about tirao that congress ndjourned. Mr. Cannon of Illinois made use of vulgar remarks , so obnoxious that women were obliged to leave the gallery , while other congressmen wanted , to form a ring and allow the belligerent statesmen to "flglit It out. " Such proceedings in the Ameri can congress are not only lilghly dis- gracofulto the partiesindulging in them , but thoybrhior reproach upon the entire country. It is doubtless true that in tlio heat of debate men are apt to become im passioned and say things of anopponout that they would afterward regret , but It Is seldom that gentlemen filling the high position of representatives in congress fall to the level ol the blackguard and the rufllnn. It was Gratton who , In the house of lords , once replied to Corey and loudly intimated that had the gentle man used such language as ho had out side the house , Ills answer would have boon n blow. But ho remembered tliat there were things parliamentary and things gontlcinatily. Mr. Cannon's ' vulgarity and the Sulll- vaii tactics of the other gentlemen were highly disgraceful , and if congress lias notliincr else to do it could adlourn with profit to the country's exchequer and Honor. A legislative body in the most wild and wooly west never liad in its proceedings the record of such ungentlo- nuinly and undignified conduct as was the performance in congress Wednesday. FAJMIXO OUr PUHL10 FUNDS. The republicans of Wisconsin have taken an advanced position on the ques tion of farming out public funds among the banks. They declare in favor of placing the state surplus in such banks as furnish ainplo security , the interest to bo added to the principal for the ben efit of tlio people. A moro desirable re form could not bo undertaken. The practice of permitting public treasurers to loan public funds to banks and pookot the proceeds is an outrage on taxpayers. It Is a fruitful source ol scandal , and precipitates into political con tests the corrupting force of boodlo. Nor is the evil confined to state treasurers. It extends to all custodians of public funds , and has not only pro voked an unseemly scratn"blo among bankers to secure the use of public money , but has deprived tlio taxpayers of the profits of the business , which now build fortunes for the officials. Tliero is no valid reason why the people sliould tolerate a system for the benefit of a few favored politicians. A radical change should bo mndo in the laws and treasurers compelled to deposit public money in ono or more sound financial institutions , to lo ) designated by the re spective state , county and municipal au thorities , let treasurers bo given a sal ary commensurate with , the responsibili ties of the ofuYo and turn till profits and fues Into the publiu funds. Such a re form would bo wortli thousands of dollars to "Nebraska taxpayers every year , nv The democracy of the states of Wash ington and Montana are exhibiting a good deal of aggressive activity , which ought to speedily arouse the republicans of those states to the necessity of vigor ous work. So fur as outward appear- aliens go the democrats tire showing the greater intarost and confidence , nnd neither of those states , particularly Mon tana , can bo regarded as so safely re publican as to warrant that party in being indifferent or apathetic , There lias just ooon hold at Tacotna , Washington , n conven tion of all the democratic clubs and so cieties in that state , and the organiza tion of a state association oltoolod for the systematic , nnd thorough prosecution of party work. This was done nt the suggestion of the president of the na tional association of domocratlosocletlos , Chauncoy F , Black of Pennsylvania , and undoubtolly the far-western democrats who have boon brought Into connection with the national organization vlll not bo allowed to aslc in vala for counsel and substantial assist ance irom their political brethren of the cast. With nearly ton thousand republican majority to overcome , the democracy of "Washington will certainly need all the encouragement and help that democrats olsowhora can afford to give them , but while their outlook is not altogether hopeful , It "will not bo wlso on the part of the republicans to Indulge in over-confidence. When it territory Washington was represented In two con gresses by n democrat , and it U certainly possible- that thla maybe bo repeated. There is no prob ability of its being , however , nt n.ny rate tllTs year , if tbo repub licans will do tii'r ' duty. In Montanathb , prospect for the dem ocrats Is tindtrubfodly moro favorable , nnd the republicans of that stale will Lave to work vury hard for success. Ad vices Indicate 'thslt ' the democracy isbet- tor organized ! tnd more harmonious than theirODponoiils . The disaffection nmong the republicans which came so near causing , , Jihem the loss of orory thing inthe election of last year hjg' not been wholly removed. nudr , there is reason to believe tluxl subsequent circumstances did not have the effect to Increase re publican strength. At any rate the parties in Montana are BO nearly equal that noltlicr can afford to part with any of Its strength , and a very earnest and determined contest is therefore to bo expected , If a sense of obligation played any considerable part In n political contest , there would not bo a shadow of doubt re garding republican success in ntiy of the new states. Owing statehood to the republican party , the people of those states should feel it to be their duty to support that party , But n Eonllinont of this kind will have very liltlo inllucnce , nnd it is apparent that in ono or two of the now states the republicans will have to do hard and vigorous work to win. IT appears that tlio sealers which liavoboen orderedoutof Bohring sea by the commander of the revenue cutter Hush , under threat of seizure , have promptly heeded the warning and sailed away , This -was tlio proper and sensible thing to do , but it is quite the reverse of whatwns promised when tlo sealing season opeiiod , It was th.cn announced that every vessel which had gone to lielirlng sea -was fully prepared to resist any attempt at seizure and intended to do so nt whatever hazard. The im pression convoyed was that the ovnors of these vessels had been given to under stand that they would bo sustained in resisting seizure by the dominion au thorities , who in turn would have the support of the British government. The inference to bo drawn from what has oc curred is thtxt the sealers received no en couragement whatever from the Cana dian g-ovornnient , if Indeed they were not notified that pending n tettlement of the dispute between the United States and the Brit ish government they must take the con sequences of violating the regulations of this government regarding the boal fish eries , At any rate , if the fact reported is correct , it would seem evident that the marauding sealers have received 110 guaranty of protection from the British government. . It is apparent , also , that our government lias not receded from the instructions given to the commander of the Rush when ho was sent to cruise in Bohring sea , and whicli wore under stood to bo of a very rigid character. TIIE astonishment expressed in every section over the marvelous growth of Omaha as shown1 by census bulletins is shared by the residents of the city. But whilotno per cent of increase in popula tion , and street railways ullord substan tial reasons for congratulation , Hiey bear no comparison to the development of the city as the third stock nmrlcot of the country. TluJ statistics of that in dustry gathered by the census office have not boon mailo public , but the re sult may bo roughly estimated from the fact that in 1830 only thrco small packing firms were in existence , the annual product of which barely ex ceeded ono week's output at tlio presen time , In the last six years the industry has grown from un insignificant business to ono which turned out over thirteen million dollars' ' worth of manufactured products in 18S9 , an amount that will bo more than doubled the present year , Tlio packing business of Omaha and the growth of the city as a block market afford a striking example of western en terprise and foresight , For an infant in dustry it displays all the strength arid vigor of maturity , As sfioirr have boon expected , the senators repudiated the suggestion of a daily inspection of their lockors. "While not particularly anxious about the qual ity of cold tea dispensed in the basement , the contents of 'the cloak and committee rooms must bo sacredly concealed from the Paul Prys of New Hampshire and Kansas. An IHCUUASE of the force of letter- carriers , together with enlarged salaries , will tend to make the boys in gray rea son ably content with their crowded , dingy quarters. THE erection of franio lire-traps on business streets should receive as much consideration from the council as was shown in taking high school square into the fire limits.
