Tine ndjournment of congress may properly bo classed nmoiiff the licst ineiisurt-B of the session. SHXATOR PADDOCK lias certainly Uil < en the popular sldo of tarifT revision nnd It is to Ills credit tlmt ho maintained his position to the laat. Now 'inAT tin plato'has advanced a dollar n box , it behooves the Dakota niinu owners to hump themselves and muko good their promises. Mil. UOYD will not have -walk-away in Omaha nnd Douglas county. Tlioro are thousands of voturain. thia city who are liable to dispute his passage to the LincolncapiloU OKLAHOMA is all right. Eighteen months'growth ' , netting a population of sixty thousand , capped with an artistic bank robbery , shows the territory is well In the van of modern progress. DOWN in Kansas tlio high priests of prohibition pronounce it a political issue , wlillo In Nebraska they declare that prohibition IB a moral question , despite the fact that the party has u. full ticket in the Hold. Tun Lincoln Gall Htlll insists in cred iting Kansas with a census population of ono million six hundred and eighty thousand , when the last official report only credited that state with ono million live hundred and fifty thousand , and the highest estimate made anywhere out side of tlio prohibition camp lias Loon one million six hundred thousand. But wo don't ' expect anything- approaching ; veracity or correctness from that quar ter. SOUTH DAKOTA'S board of equaliza tion kicked up n live nest of hornets by a radical increase of taxation. In their \vlld anxiety to don the robes of statehood the people overlooked the vast and needless number of otllcos cre- atoJ by the constitution. The machin ery of state was not fitted to existing conditions. Itwas built to accommodate the largest possible number o ( ofllco- scekers , and Is ample for the "heeds of a state with flvo times the population. The ordinary tax levy would not pay running expenses , and the ofllcials do- cllnod to work for glory. Private interest - torost overcame public scruples and the ofllcialsoxcrclseil their power by adding twouty-olglit millions to the total assess ment nnd raising the levy to correspond. Subsequent proceedings wore drowned in a howl of rage , but the- offending olll- clals find consolation in the assurance that the ralso moans prompt payment of their salaries. IN" a political way the farmers of South Carolina are on top. They are masters o ( the bltuntlon , because they have cap tured the democratic nominations. They evidenced good judgment in the skirmishes preliminary to the state con vention , and they succuoded in winning their light , the same ns they did in Tennessee. A democratic nomination in South Carolina is equivalent to an elec tion. The nomination of an Alliance ticket , pure and simple , in a convention composed of farmers only , and a declara tion of principles thut would not bo en dorsed by the dominant party of the elate , promised nothing in return for the time nnd hibor spout. "Wisely they con cluded to send up farmer dolopations to the democratic state ' convention ; they vroi'o In the majorlty'and they captured the nominations. Their candidates will Lo elected. The Alllnuco people of No- LrasUn could have sent n delegation to the republican state convontlon numeri cally strong enough to have dictated the nominations , and their candidates would liavo been elected. But , evidently , they preferred to act upon the ndvlco of such demagogues as Weaver ol Iowa and Vrovolliuk of Michigan unii play u lone hand at a losing game , so far us they are concerned , but materially assisting the democratic party. The lessons In politi cal strategy wlilch the AUiauce pcoplo of Tennessee nnd South Carolina have taught them should not bo forgotten. Their disappointment this fall -will bo quite enough political experience to prevent u repetition for some years to "mo , THE TMll'f ntLli A Mir , Tlio president lost no time In giving his approval to the now tariff bill , which Is now n law and will take effect next Monday , October 0. Tlio new law will not npply to Imported morchantllso de posited in any publlo or private bonded warehouse prior to October 1 , it being provided that such merfhandlso uiay bo withdrawn for consumption at any time prior to February 1,1881 , , upon the pay ment of duties ) nt the rales in force prior to the passage ol the net. For t\vo months or ruoro Imported merchandise of nil descriptions has been pouring into the country , nnd the amount now In bond Is undoubtedly very much greater than over before. Although this mer chandise will pay the duties now In force , doubtless very llttlo of It will reach thoconsumers without the addition to the price whloh the Increased rates under the now tariff seem to justify. There is really no good reason for this , but there Is doubtless a combination among importers to take advantage of a situation which for the time being favors them , and the people may safely count on paying an advance on till classes of imported goods. The immediate oiTect , therefore , of the now taiilT law will bean an advance iiitho piicoof every article on which the now law increases the duties. THE Dnu has already expressed the dissatisfaction which very generally pre vails In this section with the now tariff , but the country is perhaps to ho con gratulated upon the question having been disposed of. So long as it re mained unsettled the uncertainty re garding the result had a moro , or less damaging effect upon business , andwhllo It Is by no irienns assured that the trade will now Improve , merchants will nt least have a fixed busis of calculation , la this respect the end "of the tariff struggle , with the probability that It will neb bo renewed for aavoral years , will give relief. As to the ctTcct of the now law upon the revenues of the gov ernment , there are various nnd widely differing estimates , and probably one is just as good ns another. In the state ment submitted by the conferees with Iheir report it was estimated that the nggregalo reduction by the bill will bo about sixty-six million dollars , of which six million will bo from the reduction of. Internal revenue taxes. The loss to the treasury , however , whatever the amount , will not represent a gain to the people , but rather the increased cost of their higher-taxed necessities. The only hope of compensation for this , so far as Iho producers of the west are concerned , Is in the success of the reciprocity policy for enlarging the markets ior their pro ducts. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ THE PKtfSlOff SKUVICE. According to the latest published fig ures the number of claims filed under the new dependent pension law Las reached four hundred and forty-live thousand , and the Increase Is at the rate of nbout fifteen thousand a week. It is now evident that the entire number of claims will not fall short of six hundred thousand , and may reach three-quarters of n million. The maximum estimate of claims , made before the law was enacted has already boon exceeded , and before the end is reached it will bo doubled. This will mean nn expenditure under this law of between sixty ami seventy million dollars a year for several yours , when the demand upon the treasury from this source \vlll begin to docreaai. This now law requires the employment of an additional force of four hundred clerks , which will add to its costbo- twccn throe and four hundred thou sand dollars annually. It also provides for local examining boards , which it Is estimated will put nt leaat two million 'dollars in the pockets of these doctors all over the country who nro lucky enough to bo members of the boards. The prospective harvest of the. claim attorneys is estimated at five mil lion dollars. A bureau ol the government through which there is distributed annually over ono hundred and fifty million dollars ought to bo conducted on the soundest business principles and with the most scrupulous honesty. The pension olllco undoubtedly ofTors greater opportunities for practices which can bo turned to the profit of these in authority there than any other brunch , of the public service , and the temptations are in proportion to the opportunities , "Unfortunately the ofllco has boon subjected since the present administration caino in tea a great deal of public crit icism , the effect of which has been to almost destroy confidence in the Integrity o its management. The Tan ner administration of the olllco was not dishonest ; It was simply extravagant and unbusiness-llko. Ilad Tanner re mained In blio ofllco ho might have bank rupted the treasury in carrying out his Ideas of liberality to the old soldiers , but doubtless ho never would have knowingly permitted any practices wlilch could fairly bo regarded as cor rupt or dishonest. The roratlng that took place under his administration ho unquostignably believed to bo fair nnd just. The present commissioner. General - oral Rnum , has avoided the mistakes ol his predecessor , but charges of a more serious nature have been preferred against him. It Is to bo hoped that ho will ho able to show conclusively that his accusers are wrong , but it must bo confessed Jtlmt so far ho has not boon entirely successful In his efforts to do this. The most eov ious of the charges made against him have the authority of the Washing ton correspondent of the Now York. Tiibioio , who it is to ho presumed woulc not attack so prominent a republican official unless porfectlyBuroof hlsground Commissioner Ihum has not yet dls posed of thcso charges in a way satisfuc tory to fair-minded inon. The president may bo expected to firmly perform his duty in this matter in the event of the commissioner of pen Bions falling to conclusively refute the allegations wlilch constitute a vorj serious arraignment ot his oillclal con duct. Ho cannot without very grea detriment to his administration In popu lar regard retain In so responsible an olllco as that of chief of the pension bu rcau a man whose record Is not above reproach. The country regarded the appointment of General Ilnum as cini neatly judicious , There Is no question now , ns to his capacity. Hut there Is 03s of confidence In his Integrity , and unless ho can clearly show thut there is lathing to justify this , tlmt the accusn- ions against him are false , ho should bo required togivo place to a man lu whom .he people can have confidence.

Webster received S500 for his anll-prohlblllon speech nt Beatrice nnd another $500 at Grand Island.

The Busi ness Mcn'd nnd Bankers' association had lothlng to do with the Beatrice and Grand Island dobntos.

TT1B A'BII' The appointment ot Major Clarkson .0 the posimnstcrshlp of Omaha puts tin end" to the factional and personal contest ; hat has heon In progress among ropub- loans In this city slnco it became known llint the olllce would bo vacated at nn early day. In all sueh contests there Is a great dual of bitterness and heart Durnlng. Major Clarkson had the Inside track In the rnco from the outset , and at ijcst his competitors had very .Ittlo hope of distancing him. Now ; bat ho hns boon appointed and promptly confirmed , his opponents will gracefully acquiesce. Major Clarkson Is in position to devote - vote all his time and energy to the of fice , nnd tlioro is no reason why ho should not make nn excellent postmas ter. Ono thing is certain , the olllco will cease to bo headquarters for political plotters and contractors on public works. Major Clarkrfon knows enough to respect public sentiment , which for the past year fins boon intensely hostile to the combine that has made the Omaha postolllco a center of intrigue and pernicious activity lu municipal affairs. FIIIK LIMIT BXTBA'SIO.V. The objections urged by certain prop erty owners against the proposed exten sion of the lire limits are unworthy of a moment's consideration. It Is gravely asserted that the extension is engineered by these Interested in brick , iron and real estate , and that to prevent the erec tion of temporary frame shells will work a positive damage on property owners. This Is the old , moth-eaten objection urged against every public improvement undertaken in the city In twenty years. It was worked in all Its phases when the people sought to strike the railroad shackles from their foot , and was sung on every street corner at the outset of the paving era in 18S1. But the pro gressive elements battered clown all op position , placed the city on a solid foun dation , and the results are permanent monuments to the wisdom and sagacity of pushing public inon. The immediate personal interests of a few property owners must not weigh against the public interests of the oily. Above and beyond private convenience is the 'greater duty of cheeking the erection of frame buildings and giv ing protection and encouragement to men who build on solid , enduring found ations. And In building up the city withstono , brick and iron , wo build up homo industries , enlarge the avenues of employment , and increase the population and prosperity of the city. The lumber business , great as It is in Omaha , is practically nn outside Indus try. The lumber barons of the north west secure the lio'i's ' share of every dolfar expended for lumber. While the extension of the flro limlls will not materially af fect this trade , it will result In building up important homo industries , The facilities for the manufacture of brick in Omaha.uro unsurpassed. The countless surrounding hills afford an unlimited supply of clay , mid experience has shown that It can bo worked into all grades ot brick. An increased demand for brick will force not only an imme diate enlargement of oxislincr yards , but will result In the investment of largo sum of foreign capital in that industry. Men of moans stand ready to- engage in the manufacture of brick on a sealo not heretofore attempted as soon as the authorities draw the line against lire traps. They will not only give employ ment to a small army of inon , but the output will bo in sufilclont quantities to prevent the annual Bquoozo which build ers are subjected to by the pixssent com bine. bine.Tho The great factor in the permanent upbuilding of a community is the employ ment of labor. Every new Industry in creases the army of omploycd , adds to the sum total of prosperity , and enlarges the homo market. The salaries pnid ns well as the profits of the brick business iiro not sent away to Minnesota or Wisconsin. Tlio money re mains In Omaha , stimulates the retail and jobbing trade nnd enhances the gen eral prosperity of the pooplo. "Viewed in any light the opponents o extended flro limits nro simply mutilnt Ing their nose to spite their faces , Otm nmtublo double-ondor contem porary takes pains to reprint a favorable review of James E.

It Is at Just such critical jicrloifc , itiselalmccl , that rich corporations appeal tliolr cns to tlmt court and choke out or smother Ihoso who linvo tlio cotirajoto ? bring suit or obtain judgment against suck tnonicd organizations In tlio district courts. Thla Is u very im portant matter nnd tUo people of the state will bo astounded to know thut such a stuto of txflalrs exists. The Increase iu tlio num ber of cases lias ken fully cointnensurato with the growth nnd Increase In population of tliOHtuto nnd therefore shoiili nuta rally bo expected. In substantiation of the foregoing stntcmciiMhofollowliiKflgures need only to bo cltcil to prove tlio crying need of an Increase In tlio supreme judiciary : In tlio July term of the year 157(5 ( there \voro eighty cases on the calendar , and these kept the three Judges practically Imsy. For this present term of 1S90 , on the lust day there worn 247 cases under advlsoiucntatid-144 cases for taring , making 09 1 cases to be disposed of tills term , A safe estimate would bo that there would bo thirty original cases Qluii dur ing1 tlio term , such in mandamus , QUO war- run to nnd habeas corpus proceedings , making In ull i0 ! cases confronting the court this term. In addition to this thcro liavo been over llfty new cases filed slnco the first dixy of tlio term.

Supposing nonowcases worolllod , there Is now "labor enough before the court , to keep the Judges bard at work for the next three years. The result is Inevitable. The court Is Irretrievably swamped , and un less the number of judges Is increased , it will simply amount to a denial of Justice. I'KOiimniox AXII TUB N or noir.i. .

Ho is mentioned as the person most likely to secure the lease , but ho emphatically declares ho would not accept It as a present If prohibition pusses. Ho says : "If this measure becomes a law a stagnatioa in busi ness is sure to follow and nay man rash enough to attempt to run such a vast estab lishment in such times vould commit finan cial suicide. If prohibition docs not pass 1 would not ask for any bettor financial out- loolt than to secure the lease of tlie building for along term of years. " THE COU1IT IIOfSB CUIMS , .Tudgo Chapman "was engaged the greater part of today in hearing testimony in the somewhat notorious case of Matt Davy vstho county commissioners and about half of the city directory.

( Soon afterwards - wards other orders from furnishers of mater ial , plumbers , plasterers , the Omaha man who furnished Abe Lincoln's ' stutuo and others , begun to pour in , and the commission ers did not pay any of thorn. Davey claims that his is a work and labor claim and should go ahead of the otliers. The claims amount to about M.000 , and the con tractor's ' balance Is but 823,000. , The fellows who got In their orders lirst claim that their bills should bo allowed , while those who canio in last are cliunoriiik'fora pro ruta divide.
