Foil a week or more Iho vcrsalilo Ilhot Clnrkeon hua not gobbled a metro politan newspaper. Yet , slrango as it may seem , llio earth is still revolving around its axis. TIIOSK who nro congratulating the country on the acliouriimcnt ol congress forgot tlio next session , la barely two montlis away. Perhaps wo should bo thankful Tor a brief test. Nr.w Youic has set nine hundred and forty-seven policemen til work recount ing tlio population of the city. It wants more people than the census enumerat ors gave it in order that it can lia'.o a greater representation in congress and the stuto legislature. It is not jealous of other cities. When it Is remembered that a democratic slat istician of note and efficiency had immediate and ex clusive control of the count in Now York City , it can readily bo seen why the dem ocratic charge of partisanship against Superintendent Porter IB not well founded. DEMOCIIATS tire served with lavish doses of cold comfort by the Worlil- I/cr M. According to that great politi cal wind mill the independents are sweeping everything Ixjforo them in Platte county. Platte has rarely failed to roll up from two to four hundred dem ocratic majority , and this reliable dem ocratic stronghold la now doomed. Ac cording to the domo-iudopondent special reporter on the spot , Platte county will cast three thousand votes next month. Of thcso the independents will poll two thousand and the republicans four hun dred , leaving an emaciated six hundred for the democratic ticket. "Wo ere as sured by the same reliable authority that this great change is duo to the hyphen , which has mndo "tho people- wax strong in the independent faith. " Tan BKIJ hastens to congratulate the democrats oa the splendid results of Mr. Hitchcock's efforts. The formal opening of the democratic campaign in Iowa will take place at Kooktik tomorrow and it is proposed to ftinko it iv tri-stato affair. Every event fflfan important nature that occurs at Kookuk Li celebrated from n , tri-stnto Standpoint. Inasmuch aa the j First dis trict is considered by Iowa democrats to 1)0 the most promising fighting grounds in the btato , and so conceded by the re publicans , H is proper that the opening nnd grandest rally of the campaign should for effect bo raado thoro. It is expected that ox-Govornor Palmer of Illinois , ox-Govornor Francis of'Missouri nnd ox-Govornor Gray of Indiana will to present ami address the unterrlfled. And besides those , Governor Boies , the only democratic governor within hall- ing distance of the Hawhoyo stale , a3 well as candidate for congress In and out of Iowa , will bo present to entertain , overflow audiences. But if democrats enough go to Kookuk from Iowa , Mis- "flouri nnd Illinois to give1 respectable audiences to ono-thlrd the eminent statesmen billed for the occasion , it will afford the Iowa democracy sufficient capital for proclaiming that another great uprising of the people is In progress. Tun more Candidate McKclghnn's record Is examined the moro spotted it appears. Tlio diversion nnd misappro priation of widows' and orphans'funds In "Webster county has not been denied or explained. The Investigation made by a friendly committee from Hayes county served to fasten the charge of dishonesty on a man who has the hardihood to ask the suffrages of the reputable people of the Second district. But that is not all. ItfoKoIghan is accused of having , whllo serving as probate judge , taken advan tage of the mental incapacity of a farmer nnd beaten him out of two hundred and eighty-seven dollars. A judgment stands on record against Mclvoighan for this amount. It la ridiculous for McKoighan and his fool frlonds to defend embezzlement - mont on tlio ground that the victim ' 'has never been legally competent to rocolvo It. " la McKelghnn vested with power to pass judgment on the mental sound ness of the people ? "Why did ho not pay the numoylnto. court when judgment vas rendered and relieve himself of the responsibility ? With such a record before - fore the people of a district the men who are responsible for MoKolghan'a nomination owe it to themselves , to hon esty ami honor , to. demand lila with drawal as a candidate. . -v. SKSStOX. The first Boftslouot the Fifty-first con gress has passed into history. It will bo memorable ns uno ot the most Important in the history of tlio country , nnd the ef fect of its legislative acts will bo far- reaching and long-continued , Coming into the control of tlio house after being inn minority in that body during the three preceding congresses , the first duty of the republican representatives wan to provide for the rule of the ma jority. Experience had abundantly dem onstrated that the old method of pro cedure was an obstacle to the prompt nnd efficient discharge of legislative business , nnd In order to carry out the purpose of the party to make the session one of business It was necessary to Insti tute a radical reform of the rules gov erning the proceedings of the house. Tlio minority had given timely warn ing that it intended to resist to the full extent of its opportunities all legislation proposed by the majority having any political signifi cance. To put a check upon filibuster ing and all the obstructive tactics known to parliamentary practice , without dc- nyl'Uf ' just and reasonable rights to the minority , -was tlio problem first to bo solved by the republicans. They addressed themselves to this task firmly and coura geously , and found n solution with which the country has become thor oughly familiar. It was a radical de parture , amounting almost to a revolu tion In parliamentary practice , but it wns a departure for which the time had arrived , and it has boon justified by the results. The business of congress , so far as tlio house was concerned , was ad vanced with unusual rapidity when duo account Is taken of the vast Importance of the leading questions acted upon. All obstruction could not bo prevented. There were occasions when the minority wcro able to delay the course of legislation , nnd they never permitted such an opportunity to go unimproved. The representatives of the democratic parly in the present congress have earned a larcror measure of just re- pro.ich by reason of their course in this respect than was over deserved by any other minority in congress since the foundation of the government. Had the old titles of procedure boon continued , nothing- moro certain than that con gress would still bo in session and the majority hopelessly struggling to enact legislation demanded by the people. The principle of majority rule and responsi bility has been established in the popu lar branch of congress , and undoubtedly it will hoi eafter bo strictly observed as the only rule consistent with our system of government and which can safely bo followed. Of the many measures , far too numer ous for editorial review , passed at the late session , those of great est importance are the silver bill , the tariff bill , and the disability pension act , and after these come the anti-trust law , the meat inspection nnd retaliation law , the customs administra tion law , tlio land grant forfeiture act , and the legislation affecting public lands. The appropriation made in aid of agricul tural colleges , the measures in the In terest of labor , the legislation relating to the army and navy , are all matters of Importance. It can fairly bo said of Iho first session of the Fifty-first congress that it enactedn gro.iter amount of im portant and comprehensive legislation than any two congresses for the last six years , a fact for which the democratic minorty can justly claim no part of the credit. ' T/TE DUTY OF TUB The first nnd most important work which the Omaha real estate exchange should undertake Is to unite with the Bankers' nnd Business Men's association in protecting the property interests of Omaha anil the state. Wo are now in the thick of the fight for law and order and regulation. In a little over four weeks the isbuo will bo determined at the ballot box. The campaign will not run itself , nor is it just to throw the entire work and responsibility on one organization. The vital in terests involved demand the active co operation of every man who would save Nebraska from tlio commercial blight of Kansas and Iowa. To the real estate exchange the issue is one of life or death. If prohibition should carry the exchange would bo without an excuse for existence. On the other hand , defeat insures a prompt re vival of realty business. Confidence will supplant doubt nnd depression. The vast amounts of capital awaiting In vestment in the state will rean imate nil departments of business , -building operations will treble and the progress and prosperity which marks the past record of thostato will continue for years to come. These facts nro familiar to members of the exchange. Their future success therefore depends on vigorous work all along the lino. Tor this reason all other matters should bo suspended for a month and all energies bent on the defeat - feat of oprohibitlon. Lot trifles wait. Strike unitedly for larger game. That accomplished , other questions \\ill solve themselves. ItKVBKVKS AKD APl'ltOPKIATIONS. The secretary of the treasury in his last annual report estimated that the rovonucs of the government for the cur rent fiscal year would bo four hundred nnd fifty million dollars. As that esti mate was made eomo ton months ago it may safely bo Increased by from fifteen to twenty million dollars , so that the treasury will probably realise for the year ending Juno 30,1801 , at least four hundred and sixty-five million dollars. The appropriations made at the Into ses sion of congress , together with the per manent annual appropriations , aggre gate within a fraction of four hundred and slxty-throo million dollars , an In crease of forty millions over the regular and permanent appropriations of the last congress. On this showing the revenues of the government for the current fiscal year will exceed the expenditures by only about two million dollars , but Mr. Can non , chairman of the house committee on appropriations , In an estimate pre sented to the house a short time- ago , deducted thirty-eight million dollars for deficiencies na not bolng chargeable against the revenues for the current fiscal year , nnd twenty million for sums in the rlvor and harbor bill thnt will not bo expended in 1801 , In this way It Is possible to figure a surplus revenue for the year of about sixty million del lars. On the ether hand , It htu been estimated that thcrowill bo pension de ficiencies amounting to forty-five mil lion dollars for which appropriations must bo mndc at the next session , and H this shall bo the c.aso the surplus to bo counted on will not exceed fifteen mil lion dollars. Innnyovont itsooms pretty certain that thcto will be a very small margin between expenditures and revenues , and if tlio full reduction prom ised from the tarilT bill should bo real ized it is moro likely there will bo n deficit than n surplus. No definite cal culation cnn bo made , however , ns to tlio effect of the bill on the rovonucs for the current fiscal year , but the proba bility is Itvlll not effect any such reduc tion as Mr. WcKinloy has figured out. Ono thing it would sootn reasonably certain may bo depended on , nnd that is hereafter the treasury will have to con- line its operations to taking care of the regular dotnnnds upon its resources nnd will not bo ublo , in case ot a stress In the money market , to repeat the relief ex pedients which it has recently success fully employed. Perhaps this is not a matter to cause any solicitude , since it is obviously desirable on sound financial grounds that the money market should bo as little dependent as possible on the national treasury. PAUL VAXDEHVOOUT , superintend ent of the local mail eorvlco in Omaha , is said to have sent in his icsig- natlon with a string tied to it. The sttlng with the alleged resignation is in the hands of Senator Mtmdcrson , with the expectation that ho will not present it to John Wnnamnkor. Wo are told thnt half a dozen aspirants are after the position which Vandor- voort threatens to vacate. Wo would advise these aspirants not to bank on their chances. In the first place , "Vandorvoort is in no hurry to vacate , and in the next place the position is a sinecure which the postmaster general will discontinue just as soon ns Vandorvoort is out. There never was any call for creating tho'placc. "Vnndervoort lias not done a stroke of work in connection with it that anybody knows of , nnd there is no moro need of a superintendent of Omaha mails than there is of seven wheels to Jim Stophonson's big- mall -wagon. THIS manufacturers of straw wrapping paper are potting together. Represent atives of eight hundred and seventy-two mills are in session In Chicago , and an other industrial combine is in process of incubation. With the usual lofty Innocence - cenco of Incipient trusts , the public is assured that the interest of the manu facturers is secondary in the movement. While anxious to increase their profits , they declare the consumers will bo ben- ofitted by strangling competition , re ducing the product , and regulating the price. The abnormal gall of the average - ago combine is simply indescribable. ACCOUDINQ to friendly accounts- startling political conditions exist in the northern counties. Ono day Tornado Bill Thompson descends on a county , and forthwith n credulous public is posi tively assured that ho has bagged an overwhelming majority of the voters. A day or two later Deputy Farmer Kern swoops down on the same community , and instantly the voters fall down nnd worship him by a largo majority. Thus both democrats and Independents "claim everything" and enable their joiutorgan to ride both p it-ties with the grace und agility of a camel on a slack wire. republican mooting ; at the Grand opera house tonight should call out a multitude of citizens , irrespective of party. The mooting will bo a notable one , chlolly because the republican party , which has successfully managed state affairs for a generation , will render an accounting of its stewardship and demonstrate its right to a continuance in power. THE importance of the question justi fies a repetition of the fact that every voter must bo registered to exorcise the richts of citizenship. Former lists are useless. New lists must bo made , and every citizen Is personally required to appear before the registration board of their respective polling districts. Tun packing record continues to point with unerring aim to Omaha's steady advance aa the third stock market of the country. A record of eight hundred thousand porkers salted in seven months Is an enviable ono for an Industry barely six years of ago.

Ho said as both the mother and the young couple had suddenly disappeared ho surmised that something was up and he immediately started on tlielr trail nnd had followed them as far as Lincoln.
