TUB career of Justice Miller holds out nmplo encouragement to men who find it impossible to follow the profession of their choice early In llfo. Ho never studied law until lie was thirty years old and never presided over a court until ho was elected to the supreme court.

Prut' lias onjojed the refreshing novelty of limuguruling a now president without inaugurating a now civil war. This fact gives promise of prosperity for a country which enjoys every natural advantage and needs only a period of peace under a government that will not steal too licnvlly from the national re sources. Chill was a cruel and remorse less enemy of Peru and is btill u menac ing neighbor , but Peru can learn much by a study of Chill's commercial spirit , Ills to bo hoped that the now president who has just titkoii his scat ( it Linn will bo equal to his opportunity and to his country's need. A CAMPAIGN OV FMtSKUOOD. The prohibition campaign In No- Imiska lnus boon almost unparalleled In the history of tlio country In the slander , misrepresentation ivnd downright false- liood tlmt liuvo characterized it. The party which profo&scs to stand for soelnl morality , for the purification of the liomo nnd for the rcgonorntlonof man kind , has bliown itself caputilo of cm- ploying methods which would put to shame the lenst scrupulous' machlno IwliticlntiH , who believe that nil things nro fair in politics undthntthocnd justi fies the means. Under the counsel und leadership of the imported characterless mercenaries who advocate prohibition for the rovuiiuo there Is in it , the prohi bitionists of this Btsitovery generally cltlzens who desire to bo loynl to Ne braska , nnd to see her material intoiests grow nnd prosper hnvo peimlttcd them selves lo bo committed to slanderous tit- tackb upon tlio cluiractor of the state , mid pirtlculnrlyto misrepresentation re- gitrding her piinclpal cities , which , if they vent out to the weild unconlro- verted , would bo only less disastrous to tlio future prosperity of Is'cbraska tluiti the success of prohibition. The bcaniUloui nature of the nssaults made upon the cluiractor of our people by the hired advocates of prohibition ought to aronso the Indignant resent ment of eveiy citl/.en who lins the honor and welfare OB tlio stale nt heart , and the bnso and unscrupulous methods em ployed nt the instigation of these mer cenaries ought to lead all fair-minded prohibitionists to btrlously ask them selves whether it Is not their duty us honest men and ( food citizens to ro- pudlatoritich methods.Vhon forgery and falsehood become the chief iiisttu- monts of a party , as they have of the prohibitionists In tills campaign , it is tlmo for people who have regard for honesty , fairness nnd truth to refuse to countenance such a party. By employ ing such means it abandons every claim to popular respect nnd confidence , and no man can gives it support without sac rificing his duty as a citizen. THK BKK has from tlmo to time shown up and denounced numoious forgeries and misrepresentations emanating ftom the prohibitionists iti the ponding- cam paign. Thcso luvo boon of the most during and reckless character , poipe- tiatcd mainly by woithle s scamps who are veil paid for this dishonorable service. But the exposures have hud little effect upon the unscrupulous pto- hihition manuRaii ) , and the hired reform ers of Nebraska and its people are still at work. The falsehoods regarding Omrha and the other leading cities , although repeatedly lofulcd hy indis putable and conclusive record evidence , continue a prominent feature of the harangues of prohibition speakers and the diatribes of piohibltion organs. The f net that no other community of equal numbers in tlio country is moro orderly and law-abiding than that of Omaha , and that In pioportion to population there Is less intemperance in Omaha than In cities of Kansas and Iowa , has been shown hy testimony that no fair-minded man ivill question , does not prevent the Itlrodadvocatosot prohi bition from adhering to the calumny that Omaha Is seothiiiglwith immorality and diimkennesj. Tlio effort of these people to prejudice the moral popula tion against the commercial metropolis of the state , vvith the incidental oireet of of the whole country , calls for the lopio- bationof every citiy.enof Nebraska who has the into'ligenco to understand that the prosperity of the state is inseparable from the prosperity of its chief city tlmt if the husines's interests and property values of Omaha suffer injury tlieT oflcet willbogoner.il. A. Mow struck at the industiios , the enterprise and the linan- clal forces centered in this city must in- ovittibly bo felt to the remotest quarter of the Btutc. The reprehensible course of the pro hibition party in Nebraska in the wanton defamation of the character of our people , In the poisistcnt adherence to falsehoods repeatedly refuted , in the practice of forgery , in the slander of In dividuals , in the employment of con- cIcncolesB scamps who are paid to lie and traduce , nnd in tlio general unfair and unscrupulous methods adopted , con stitutes it iccord of reckless and un- piinciplod methods for which it would boilinicult to lindti parallel. It ought to insure the defeat of the paity "by a majority bo overwhelming as to bo a momoi.iblo rebuke tobiiuh tlisioputable nnd indefensible practices. AS r.iTiiKn MA-'nn : ir s.i ir IT. Father Mathew was proliably the most successM and useful temperance agitator who o\cr li\od. Ho is doubtless the only 0110 who could command a woild-\\ldo \ celebration of his virtues ono hundred years after his blith. such ns during the last few days hns everywhere been ac- coidod his memory. As Nebraska is at this moment engaged in an effort to faolve , so far as human wisdom can do so , the very problem to which Father Nalhow devoted his life , it Is worth while to retail the character and \\ork of this marvelous moiul reformer. Born a century ago In the better class of Irish society and carefully educated at home and abroad , Theobald Mathew found hlnibcll at middle life ono of the most beloved and Influential of Irish priests. At that time the masses of the people were deep In the evils of drunic ennossand apparently going from bad to worse. The heart of tlio priest was touched , and ho responded to urgent ap peals to load the way for reform in the habits of the peoplo. It was an instance \vhoro the heart and brain of a great and good man vroro brought to boar upon the evil of intem perance at its worst. In the light of the present situation in Nebraska it is both interesting and valuable to note the methods which ho chose for the most succostul crusade against Intemperance recorded in the annals of moral reform. Ho called a mooting at Cork In April , 1838 , and pieaontod his plan fora move ment designed to regenerate the Irish people. His plan was total abstinence , which ho had adopted after a careful consideration of all tlio social and moral questions involved. Ho slgaod his own nanio first to the pledge and then and there began a crusade which never ended until rather Mathew hud traversed Iro- lund , England and America and with. his own hand given the pledge to over flvo millions of people. .Among his converts wore Daniel O'Connoll and many other notable men. It was the most magnificent revival of morality In the habits of the people over behold , It vas the most tolling hlow at the de grading featuica of the liquor tralllc over struck. Nearly forty jears after his death the Father Matthew societies of this country nlono contain over ono hundred thousand iictivu young men dedicated to total abstinence. But the methods of the greatest tem perance reformer who o\er lived aio not the methods of the Nebraska prohibit hltlonists of this generation. They secKto drive whore ho aimed to lead. They appeal to hate , where ho won five million converts with eloquence that went stialght to tlio heart. Ho re formed men by argument and example. They propose to do It by legislation , in the RAino practical way that we lay a tariff on Imports. IM the influence of rather Mnthow will go marching on lonp after the fal lacy of prohibition has faded from the memory of mankind , OJ/l/M'S / ri'TUttE , The result of the eleventh census forms a group of five vigorous western cities actively compotiug for supremacy. Ton joars ago Omaha stood at the foot of tills gioup , buing outranked in popu lation by Kansas City , .Minneapolis , St. Paul and Denver in the order named. Today the city stands second In the list , having met and passed Kansas City , St. Paul and Denver. The position of the city in the next census depends bololyoii the activity and enterprise of the people. The conditions contributing to the commercial nnd Indus trial development of the past ton joars wore largely duo to the vast inllux of settlers to the state. Millions of acres have been added to tlio cultivated aroi , creating now markets foi'inanufaeturecl as veil us raw products. While Omilui kept abro ist of the development of tbo state , groitor efforts are iiejessa. ! ' ) ' in tlio future if the city is to maintain the ratio of the past. - The fast cannot bo concealed that greater cnorfyy and unityare essential to keoppaco with the rival cities in the group. The dlsappointmont over tha lesult of the census served to stir up latent prldo and infuaa activity in the veins of those content to lot well enough alone , Eich is now striving for manu factories. Inducing the locitio.i of job bing and retail houses , projecting new lailto.idsmd other public enterprises. Tlioro Is no lack of opportunities for Omaha to improve und strengthen her industrial and commercial position. Foremost among her noodsaroa railionti to the northern section of tlio state and through the Dakotas , to seciuo the ex panding tr.ido of that section and at the sumo time furnish a market for its stock and grain. Old and now roids pene trating Iowa can bo induced to extend to this city , if piopor efforts are made. A. competing bridge over the Missouri is a vital necessity. Now factories muU bo established to uliluo the raw material at our doors and furnish pormmont em ployment to labor. More elevators must ho built and operated to mike the city a permanent , reliable grain market for the surrounding country. All thcso are essential -tio'"futuro ! prosperity ofjlip-citj. . it will not do to . } 3--8nrtno achievements of the past , or aitMicavvbci-liko for something toturn p. The bubincss men and capitalists f Omaha must put their shoulders to lie wheels and pubh the interests of the ity in every direction. Their faith must be shown by works , and their con- denco and ontorpilso sueh as will nt- -racl - the city's full share of the capital coking investment in the west. DECLIKK OP T1W VIRTU HATE , The latest figures from the census lureau of the population of the country makes the total a little over sixty-three million , a reduction from the earlier es- imates of sixtj-fouror sixty-four and a uilf millions that is very disappointing1 o tlio country. The reduced figures , lovtover , will not giently surprise those tatlsticinns who have becnfollowing the otmns for separate states as they have ) eon given out from time to timo. If the lopulation of the country had been hewn to bo sixty-four millions , the in- crenso would have boon about twenty- eight per cent for the last ton years , and since the group of Mates comprising Now York , Ohio , Indiana , Illinois , Michigan , ! owaGooigiu , , West Virginia and Massa chusetts , containing twenty-four nnd n .uilf . million people , made a not gain of only a little over four million , or loss than twenty per cent , it has xen a pu/lo to know -where iho remaining ton millions of increase would como from. It appears probable that the final count will show n gain in the last decade of only about twenty-live per cent , or live per cent loss than for the previous ton jcars. The fact that immigration to this country amounted to live million during the lost ton years against less than three million in the previous decade suggests a perplexing question ns to why the rate of increase from 1880 to 18DO should have been loss than from 1870 to IbSO. And the only explanation appears to bo that in the fonuor dccado the increase from the surplus of births ever deaths was about the same as in the latter , in spite of the fact that the population from which the growth was derived was thirty percent larger in the former poiiod. Tbis implies a decrease of about ono- third in the fertility of the American neoplo nnd an astonishing decline in the birth rate. It is difficult to believe that the change In the direction of smaller families has been BO rapid nnd sudden. Tlioro has unquestionably been a great difference , but it UUH come on Imoro gradually than the census fig' ' ures indicate. It is piobably the case that the trouble IB not with the last census , but with the ono taken twenty years ogo. The in crease in population between I860 and 1870 was undoubtedly much under-stated by the census in the latter year , os peclally In the south. This made the apparent growth from 1S70 to 1880 un duly largo , and now the rate ol gain seems ) to have dropped heavily nil at once , when it has doubtless been falling steadily but slowly for thirty joara. Tlio one thing certain is that the rate of nat ural increase ntncfig the American people ple Is only about jlno-hntt as grant n It was during tluv fiRl sixty ycnrs uftor the organl7nllon otuij' federal government , And it Is a fact which from sovoi.il points of view Is highly Inteiestiiuj. IX TTIK nvsr. ; The problem. , of the complete and Bplond id iievok/pjctit | ot the west of tlio trans-Missouri is the pioblem of gcttinp manufactures. 3\griculturowo already have in eitriJ/Jlnarj / advancement , but agriculture aumo , cvtn inthisvoliip- tuous soil and sunny climate , tan not make a people symmetrically grcit ami prosperous. The chain of thriving county seals , stictciilng along the lines of our tlnough railways , should he Eometlilng moro than a terles of trading points for their sun otuidlng1 territory. They should la trnnsfoimod Into a chain of manufactur ing cities , turning the law products of the soil Into the finished products of tlio mills nnd factories and maintaining populous communities of opciativos and workmen. This -would brlnfj money and people into tlio west , widen the fanner's borne imiflvct and give an Irresistible impulse to tlio giovvtb of our towns , cities and states. Take Nebraska for instance. On the mala line of the Union 1'acillc. between Omaha and the Colorado boundary , me the following county seats : Fremont , Sohuylor , C'olum bus , Central City , Grand Island , Kearney , Lexington , North Pintle , Ogalalla' , Sidney and Klinball , Tlio seat of Duel 1 Is still In controversy. Of those cloven llttlo i-illcs , langlng in population from llvo hundred to eight thousand , thiee have sihoady awakened to the possibllltiesof manufacturing and have taken Hist steps in that direction.
