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

prevent u repetition for some years to

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.

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.

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.

extended flro limits nro simply mutilnt

Jlr. Anderson has many queer notions ,

when Rochevns county clerk
Anderson imagined that ho had failed to

iboutlt. More recently Recorder Me-
geath has failed to pay over about four
'

city lias heretofore been too lavish In
voting away public rights , and in scores
of instances the creatures of publlo
favor have become greater than their
creators , and arrogantly dolled the
authorities. Public necessities will not
justify the granting of needless priv

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. Xncli rolumo of the state ro-
l > orU contains on niiavorago 123 ; the present
cases now before the court would therefore
main six volumes. 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.

would not ask for any bettor financial out-

wards other orders from furnishers of mater

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

fcro'nt parts of his body and one or two of the
