Tlio fig ures furnish notable proof of the stiinii- lating oilect of a republican government on the invcntl-vo geniuses of the coun- iu. . Tnu census bureau's recount of St , Pnulnnd Minneapolis affords great con Bolatloa to both cities. St. Paul's ori l mil count was reduced nine thousand two Imndreil find .forty and Minneapolis Is very glad of It , Minneapolis has foworpooplo."by twenty-seven thousand and sixty-two than she "boasted of during dogr days , nnd SU Paul gloats over tlio loss. Both cities nro in a hnppy frunio of mind jflst now , nnd it all comes ubou from nn lionost count of tlielr people , St. Paul falls below Omaha over six thousand , while Minneapolis leads our city about twcnty-ilvo thousand. TUB only crumb of comfort tliat the democrats can extract from the Wy Ing1 election is that the majority for del cjjuto in 1SSS was reduced n few hun drcd , At thatolcctlon the democrat elected fourteen out of thirty-six mcnv bora of thotorrltorTal legislature. AVltl a majority of t\fo \ in the sonata the party managed to dicluto legislation and pr vent changes intipjwlntlvo oftlcos. Their partisan schonilng- explains the almos total rout of tlio party la tlio first state election. Out of n total ol foi-ty-nlm members of the etato lo rlslaturo the domocmts elected llvo one senator and four ropwsontatlvca. The voters were evidently doterniinod to inalto the logU lature unanimously republican nod prac ilcally succoodcil. VCSll But little moro thnn n month remains for campaign work nnd there shoulil bo iioltirthoc tlolnyln perfecting the ov- prnnlKatlon. of the republican party throughout Nebraska. County commit tees especially should at orico put all their energy in to this work nnd inn-sue it filcatllly imd vigorously from now on. A thoroughly aggressive campaign-is what is wanted , nnd the sooner it takes tlmt form tlio bitter. Lot competent und trustworthy workers bo put into the Held , arrange frequent public meetings , and keep the llros of republicanism burning brightly on every hill ton and in o very vnlloy. In Hint lies victory. The republican party must do some thing moro than win the battle ol this year. It must TJo successful "by such an overwhelming majority as will effectu ally silence the volco and paralyze the efforts of the demagogues and self-seek- era who are attempting to destroy it. This can bo done if the republican managers will faithfully perform - form their duty. Apathy and laclc of vigilance are more to bo feared tlian the oldtimo enemy and ills now allies. There Is no danger to the re publican cause except from the careless ness or indifference of its own leaders , orthoso cliarged with guarding-Its in terests , Tlioy should begin at once and earnestly the work entrusted to them. It is only necessary that the republi can fanners of Nebraska shall bo brouglit to see clearly the true nature ol tlio political situation to Insure their continued fealty to the party. They have no moro reason now tlian In tlio past to hope f or anyth in g in their in terest from the democracy , and when tlioy shall understand , as tlioy are rapidly learning , that the independent party , so called , la being made to serve as a tall to the democratic kite , they will to a rnnn refuse to countenance tlio Iniquitous arrangement. That such Is tlio real diameter of the situation Is unquestionable. The doinoerats are building their nope of success upon republican defection created liy tlio Independent movement , and tlioy are giving that egregious blunder all the encouragement possible. Every republican farmer who gives his support to that movement and aids in Its promo tion makes himself a tool of the demo cratic party. Events show that tlio number willing-to - bo thus used is so far not largo , but in order that it may not Lncreabe tlioroujh republican organiza tion and aggressive work are necessary. Wo repeat , there remains hut little more than a month for tlio active labors of the campaign. Lot the time bo fully improved. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ J.AXC1STOX GETS "JllK SKA.T. The prolonged contested election case ol Liangston against Vcnable , from the Fourth congress district of Vir ginia , which has excited , moro interest in the house of representatives and been the cause of moro delay , owing to demo cratic : obstructive tactics , than nnyothor contest in the present congress , was de cided yesterday by giving Lnntrston the scat. The report of the committee favor able to Langs ton , who is ono of the most widely known colored men in the coun try , was presented some tlnio ago , but \vhoii the date for action on it arrived there were not enough republican rep resentatives in Washington to make a quorum , and the democrats from , day to day a/bsontcd / themselves from the liouso. The effect was to tic up absolutely all business in the house , as It was deter mined that this election , case should 1)0 ) settled before anything else in the way of legislation was taken up. Several futile efforts wcro made by the demo crats to bring forward other matters , but the rule was adhered to , and for'tho first time since the organization of tlio present house the republican majority found themselves helpless. They could do nothing from day to day but adjourn. TesterdayMr. Muddof Maryland made Ills appearance and made a quorum. It is questionable whether the ropub- llcaiisof the house are to bo congratu lated upon this action. Some of them wore not favorable to it , partly for the reason that the ctisa made out by the contestant was not impregnable , and measurably because his claiuis upon the republican party are by no means strong. John M , r/ingston lias for a. number of years been prominent as a loader among Ills race , and is a man of education an ability. Tie was graduated at Oborlln college , Ohio , and lias boon in the pub lic service and also hold a professorship in the Fisk university for colored stu dents. TLangston has always mani fested a strong deslro to flguro in politics , and while for the most part acting with the republican party ho has once at least , if notoftoner , onposod that partyaudit , is charged that when ho ran for congress in the Fourth Virginia district it was as an Independent , the ef fect "being to defeat the regular republi can candidate. His course for some years , since his residence in Virginia , has boon such as to create with many re publicans n distrust of lilm , and while It Is probable ho will uniformly vote with the majority in tbo house , it would note \o surprising if ho failed to do BO. At tiny rate ho cannot bo regarded as an iicqulsltion to the majority likely to beef of material advantage , and ho may prove to bo moro troublesome than useful. Perhaps thcro is a certain Otnoss In the fact that the man who emtlilud the majority in the house to bring this somti- whnt notable case to a conclusion Is named Mudd. TUB iESSO.V OP TIIR DISASTER. The Wabash disaster forcibly illus trates the necessity of congress taking speedy action on tlio bill compelling rail roads to ndopt safety appliances for the effective handling of trains. No Intelli gent person can read the heartrending details of the wreck without a feeling of Indignation against a corporntlonwhich , through false economy , clings to hand brakes for controlling trains. The circumstances surrounding the wreck clearly show the practical uselessness - ness of tlio old brake. It Is a rolio of enail-paco days , and is as far behind the times as the bob-tall locomotive of the thirties. Had the doomed train been equipped witli the modern automatic brakes , controlled by the engineer , the power to ( heck Its speed and Btop it within a short distance could have been applied the moment the danger was dls- covered. Hut the train depended on tlio hand brakes , which could not bo applied in time to prevent it from plunging into tlio alyss o ( flame and death. The railroad , lines of the country are strewn with records of death nnd de struction from , like cawcs. According to the government report , two thousand employes were killed and twenty thou sand injured during the post year. It Is snfo to say that 11 imjorlty of the num ber wcro victims of the hand hrnko nnd the rain killing coupler. The losses paid the companies both for passengers and employes injured or kllloJ , the de struction of rolling stoc1 < and the sums paid for merchandise destroyed , duo to the hide of modern appliances , amount to an enormous sum annually. If ap plied to reconstructing rolling stock , competent authority estimates that it would in llvo years pay the cost of equip ping all cars with automatic brakes and safety couplers. It must bo said to their credit that every progressive railroad realizes the great value of the automatio brake nnd comparatively few trains are run on leading lines without n portion of the train being thus equipped. Little prog ress , however , is being mndo with safety couplers. In justice to the thousands of men whoso lives are in constant peril , congress should promptly pass a law , suggested , by President Harrison , com pelling all corporations , rich and poor , to abandon the munkllllng brakes and couplers and equip their trains with the latest Improved safety appliances. 2'f/B Omaha has opened , undcc very prom ising auspices , Its third ox position , which Is to continue for three weeks. It is a creditable , attractive nnd Tory lutercst- lngdlsplay , showingchlolly the resources of the mercantile houses of the city , nnd therein demonstrating , as was said by the mayor in his' address opening the oxpojltlon , that it is not necessary for our citizens to go to Chicago or else where to procure the richest , nest fashionable or most costly abrics manufactured , In Its In dustrial features the exhibit but slimly sets forth the resources of Omaha. Very fowof tlionumorous manufacturing enterprises of the city are represented. 3ut It is to bo remembered that the ask of organizing the exposition was entered upon at a late date for such an undertaking , and that the purpose to Ivc our citizens an ontcrtaiumont of this character during the Euason for its oa- oymcnt could neb wait for anything neb it once available. To have gotten to- ; ether a highly attractive trade display , n { [ which many of the best mer cantile houses of Omahaaro represented , ! s under the circumstances a most cred itable achievement , and tlio gentlemen , o whose energy and enterprise this re sult is duo are entitled to hearty coin- nondatiou. The houses represented ilso inorlt cordial praise for their liber ality and public spirit. The exposition deserves a generous nibllc support. Ko ono will fail to find .hero much that will interest and please , while to many it must give n more favorable impression of the business o character and ro- iources of Omaha. The financial suc cess of tills enterprise Is to bo especially desired for the influence it will ha-vo in stimulating- future efforts in this dlrcc- lloii. An interstate exhibition ought to 10 an annual affair in Omaha , steadily expanding in scope and usefulness from year to year until it attained proportions ivaling the best exhibitions of this kind In the country , This is practicable , and it rests with the business .men and people of Omaha to say whether it shall bo ac complished , POLITICS in the Eighth Iowa congress district nro knee deep in the stubble and corn fields ; in the cities and towns of the district the old wheal horses of Iho several parties -wear their pants iuoked in their boots and stalkabout in mad despair , doubt and doubting1. The Eiglith district is notably antl-nionopoly , anti-tariff , though withal It is safely re publican. Pour years ago Major Ander son , an anti-monopoly anti-tariff repub lican , beat Colouol Hepburn , arid two years ago James I' . l'lickan , anbi-mo- nopoly republican , boat Major Anderson. iVndcrson and Flick are contesting the district again this year , and the fight waxes hot and bitter. Anderson's , liopa for success llos in the strength of Flick's McKlnloy tariff Ideas. If Flick is beaten , it will bo because of tariff , for his anti-monopoly record Is quits us pro nounced , as JIajor Anderson's. Riod , McKlnloy and Burrows are booked for speeches in tlio district , and the demo crats are negotiating for talk-talent in opposition to them. ' The contest prom ises to grow In interest. Co o nnss PAUQUIIAII , who has charge of the ship subtldy bills in the house as chairman of the committee on merchant marino and fisheries , appjars to bo confident that the maasure will pass at the present session. 'JThoy have already passed the senate and have boon In the house for some time , where they have been delayed for prudential considerations , not the least important of which was the rather vigorous ex pression of opposition , to such legislation which came from the west. That con sideration may sblll have wight , for \va nro not. aware/ that western sentiment in this particular has changed , and wo ven ture to think that a nnjority of repre sentatives of the west in congros will toll Mr. I-'arquhar and other advocates of ship subsidies that hardly any greater mistake could bo made from the point of view of the interests of the republi can party than to pass the proposal ! legislation at this time. PlVE-cont , fares on the bridge line wil come when the authorities of Counci Bluffs nnd Omahaoxcrclso the powers o reduction anil regulation reposed hi then but not till then. .Appeals to the pub lie spirit of the managers is us fruitless us haying at the moon. DIRECTOR LEKCII of the govormnon ! mint addshistosilrnonytotha unrivalled position of Omaha as a site for n branch mint. Possessing the largest gold am silver reduction works in the country I not In the world , Omaha commands the. product of a largo mineral area. Mon 1u tana , Idaho , Wyoming , .Colorado am u oven Mexico contribute tholr precious notnls. Otlior reduction works are mrcly local. T tyf Omahft la national. t luia no competitor , and the demand m Its resources hWsogront tint annual mlnrgomontH arc necessary to l < eop pace vlth the patronngoi Holding the key o nvnot mineral tcrrltory ; and located n the heart of the great Inland empire , Omaha's position commends itself to far- 3celng government ofllclals. Mr. Leech's commendation will materially strengthen ho prospects for the passage of the Con- ncll bill. In Bolecllng members of the executive committees of the world's fair , Presi dent Piihnor was peculiarly fortunate In choosing activeworking representatives of Nebraska. Mr. Euclid Martin , presi dent of the Onmha hoard of trade and ono of the state commissioners , is well equipped to perform his Bharo of the du- , los of the executive hoard. Thoroughly ainlllar with the -varied natural re sources of the stnto , ila expanding man ufacturing Industries nnd its unri valed commercial growth , Mr. Martin is peculiarly fitted to secure u complete exhibition of Nebraska products such as will show the fertility of the soil uid the progressive industrial enterprise of the people. Oa the board of lady nnnngcrs , Nebraska- favored with two reprcHcntatives Mrs. John S. Briggs of Omaha and Mrs. S. C. I/ingworthy of Scnvnrd. Both Indies nro well qualified 'or the Important duties imposed on them. Tholr experience in connection with local and atato fairs at homo will prove invaluable In the larger sphere to which they have been called. It is a matter for congratulation that the stale's delegation to the Columbian exposition riro both competent and representative , Insuring Nebraska a favorable position in the galaxy of state exhibits. IOWA Crrv , the capital of Johnson lounty , Iowa , the homo jof ex-Governor Kirkwood , ns well as the seat of the state university , put itself on record as an ob jector to the census bureau's count of its lopulatlon. It posed as an eight thou sand town , but it finds itself witli several lundrcdlesfl than six thousand. It islet lot so very long ape that Governor Kirkwood predicted a loss of population , wealth and mechanical industries to his town if the prohibitory laws of the state wcro not repealed. At that time enthu siastic prohibition workers , talkers and writers bewailed the "mental decadence" tf the errand old war governor. It transpires , howcvor , that Inter day facts and llgures prove him to have been the better judge of the future. THK newspapers' , of Cedar Rapids , Iowa , assert with ppsltiveiioss that two liundred saloons are open to the public in that city. Cedar Hapids has a popu lation of about eighteen thousand. Pro hibitionists do iiol'j deny the statement , uut think it a shame- that some of their co-workers do not talk less and do more work toward enforcing the law. There is a better and broader field for prohibition work in Iowa , today than in Nebraska. And there Is greater danger that the "homo" will sulToK from intemperance in Iowa , under prohibition laws , than in Nebraska under our license law. THE San Francisco Call may , and it may not , have a fellow feeling for Sen ator Stanford , but it is very doubtful If the honorable # CIUlclrinn will accept as a compliment its assertion that "after the world has forgotten that Leland Stanford wa $ a "United States senator , it will remember that ho founded the richest and most comprehensive educa tional institution in the "United States. " It Is clearly in evidence that a millionaire airo lawmaker entertains a proper esti mate of his own senatorial ability , and that ho would not ( jave the world soon forgot his career. THE signs of the time point to a ropub licnn victory in Iowa this fall. Hon. .Tamos I ) . Weaver of Dos Moines is down in Missouri making democratic-green' back speeches to alliance audiences. Weaver never deserts an enemy of the republican party while there is a hope of defeating it. Evidently ho sees nothing but defeat in store for Iowa's democracy and his ad vent into Missouri Is merely a stand from under. THIS demand for skilled and unskilled labor in the city a't the present time is such that no ablo-bodiod man anxious to work need be idle.
