Not a great deal of Information Is to
bo obtained from n study of the munici
pal elections of the present week upon
which lo predict a safe judgment re
garding the relative strength of parties
in the states whore such elections wore
hold. Very gonornlly local Issues nloiio
were Influential in determining the re
sults , and It is worthy of remark as a
promising sign of the tlinos , that thcso
municipal canvnsso.s are coming to bo
more and more divorced from na
tional politics. Votora very gonornlly
are giving more attention to the problem
f reform in municipal government , by
hleh they may secure wise , honest and
fllciont administration of these affairs
liat most nearly concern their interests
nd welfare. The cltios are the centers
f all the powers of civilization , and it
s therefore of the very highest Impor-
, anco tliat | they should have thobestgov-
rnmont attainable. The great political
ttostions have no nlaco in the govoni-
icntof any city. The discussion of na-
lonal Issues has no place In busl-
css olllccs and stores , and should
invo none in the ofllcos of
city. The Idea Is gaining ground that
ho administration of municipal nfTalrs
s altogether a practical matter to bo
ommltlud to the hands of practical men
f established character nnd ability ,
athor than to those who sock It simply
s politicians and partisans. Tills sonti-
lent was widely prevalent among the
itlcs and towns whore elections have
ust , been hold. And it is very gratify-
njr to find that in a number of largo
Hies , as Philadelphia , Chicago , Cn- !
Innatiand Cleveland it was largely suc-
OHSflll.
So far as the results indicate the rola-
Ivo strength of parties , there is on the
vholo somewhat more in them for ro-
) ublic.in than for democratic encourago-
> ont. In most Important cases whore
, hero was a straight fight between the
.wo . parties the republicans were suc-
ossful and the gains largely on their
ido. This waa conspicuously the case
a the larger Ohio cities , and there is
igniflcanco in this from the fact that
Ohio elects state olllcors this year and
ho result will have an important bearing1
on the presidential contest of next year.
With the political machinery of the
argo cltios in republican control the
outlook for the success of that party in
ho state election of next fall becomes
nuch irHoro-hopoful. Michigan is shown
o bo close , but in view of the fact that
the democrats last year elected their
candidate for crovornor by a largo plural-
ty the republican success this year
fives very satisfactory assurance that
ho state will bo safely republican in the
presidential election. The general re-
lublican successes in the cltios and
.owns of Kansas show that the
mrty has not lost its vitality
n that stato. In most of the town elec
tions of Nebraska license or no license
was tlio issue , so that the results indi
cate little as to the relative strength of
the parties.
The most Important state elections of
this year are those of Now York , Massa
chusetts , Ohio and Iowa : The outlook
for the republicans in Now York is re-
'nrdcd as very promising , the local elec-
Llons in the interior of the state last
month having revealed some surprising
changes , and there are indications that
the democracy is not so well organized
as usual. In Massachusetts the republicans
licans are getting ready to prosecute a
vigorous campaign and are hopeful of
recovering control of the stato. It feooms
: o bo a foregone conclusion that Major
McKlnlcy will bo the republican candi
date for governor in Ohio , and ho will
jirobably bo opposed by tho. present gov
ernor , Campbell. This will mean ono of
Lho most stirring campaigns that state
lias ever known , and the present indica
Lions are most favorable to the ropub-
.leans , who have always carried the
state In the year preceding the presi
dential election. The situation in Iowa
is complicated , and until republican
policy regarding the prohibition ques
tion is defined , predictions as to the re
sult in that state will have little value.

Local boards of trade in several Ne
braska cities are working upon plans to
attract now settlers to their surrounding
agricultural districts. They have en
countered an obstacle in the shape ol
the refusal of the railroads to run the
usual harvest excursions.
This is n matter which requires the
immediate attention of every enterprising
ing community in the stato. Without
the harvest excursions it will bo very
discoumglng to attempt to attract largo
bodies of prospectors and homeSfookors.
Petitions now in circulation , and
being numerously signed , call upoi
the Trans-Missouri railroad associa
tion to revive the harvest ex
cursions in the interest of the whole
state , and to fix their dates in the
middle of May , June , August and Sop
tombor. Thcso petitions , which omli
tinted from the real estate exchange o
Kearney , have been sent to all boards ol
trade in the slate nnd are being for
warded , when signed , to James II
Smith , chairman of the traffic ussocia
tion , at Kansas City.
The petitions state , and very truth
fully , that "if these excursions should
bo discontinued while the present false
and malicious stories regarding Kansas
and Nebraska are In circulation , it
would give credence to the stories
nnd work great Injury to
the above states. " There is mucl
force in this argument , and It should an
neal to the public and load it to brinj ,
strong pressure to bear upon the rail
roads to reconsider their decision.
A surprising amount of misinforma
tion prevails concerning Nebraska.
Many eastern people believe the state is
annually devastated by drouths and
cyclones. They think the legislature
has enacted laws to drive out capital and
repudiate debts. The state- has boon
recently advertised as a most excellent
place lo keep out of. Now , when outer-
prising citizens are seeking to attract
settlers and establish the falsity ol those
stories they tire mot by the announce-
meat that there will bo no harvest ex
cursions this year.
Public sentiment should Immediately
proceed to enlighten the railroad man
agers as to what the people wont , nnd
thun everybody should unite to make
this year's excursions more popular than
ever before. Everything indicates that
Nebraska will bo ready to receive com-
iany in tlio summer and fall of 1891.

President Harrison has issued his
Johrlng sea proclamation stating the
acts of congress under which the United
States claim to control thoao waters ,
nnd warning all persons not having atl-
hority against catching seal there ,
mdor penalty of sol/uro and punish-
ncnt according to law. Tlio sealing
poson will soon begin , and it is under-
teed that the number of poachers Is
Ikoly to be larger than usual. An Ottawa
Itspatch of some ton days ago
tatod thnt the fisheries do-
mrtmcnt of the Dominion gov
ernment had been advised that the
Canadian sealing Hoot in Uohrhig sea
vill bo larger this year than dut ing
ormor seasons. It was stated that throe
low schooners for this Hoot are nearing
completion at Vancouver , and that six
ossols had boon purchased for the ser
vice In Nova Scotia. The Dominion
government has carefully refrained from
sailing any instructions to the Canadian
Bcalors for their guidance in liohrlng
sea , and it Is'statcd that the impression
irovnils in Canadian oJllclal circles
hat tho'protcctlvo service of the Ameri
can cruisers will not result in any sol/-
ires. The feeling is doubtless voiced by
a Vancouver paper , which says that the
Jutted Slates , being without nn ade
quate licet , will bo unable lo enforce its
claims.
There has been no intimation from
Washington of any unusual propara-
, ions to guard agaiust seal poaching in
3ohring sea during the coining season ,
nit it is to bo presumed the government
will exorcise at lor.st the usual care
and vigilance in this mailer , and that
.n the event of an invasion of the waters
over which it has claimed control and
the capture of seal therein , those guilty
of the act will as far as practicable bo
lunislicd. It Is possible that there are
.wo good reasons why the government
tins not been more active In making pro
vision . for preventing poaching , ono
being the fact that the case of the sealer
soi'/cd and condemned several years ago
Is to receive the attention of the supreme
court , and the other a possible arrange
ment with the British government
for exorcising a common protection ever
Ihosonl as a precaution against their ex
termination. In view of the disposition
manifested by Lord Salisbury in his lost
communication , it would scorn that ho
would not bo unwilling to make some
arrangement of this sort , pending nego
tiations looking to arbitration , if ho
could do so without prejudicing his caso.
The British government , however , will
bo largely controlled by the Canadian
government , and Iho indications are
that the latter is not well dis
posed toward anything that would bo in
the least degree a concession to the
United Stales. It apparently would
rather countenance poaching by its
people , however dostruclivo , and take
all the risks which such a policy in
volves. The attitude of the Canadian
government is as distinctly now , as in
the past , unfriendly.
The authorities at Washington can bo
depended upon to continue to deal with
this issue wisely and conservatively ,
but should it bo forced to adopt radical
measures in order to protect the inter
ests of the United States in Bohring sea
and to preserve from ruin a profitable
industry , there can bo no question that
it would be sustained by the country lo
whatever extent necessary. There maybe
bo some intorcsling developments in
this matter in the near fuluro.
XOT THIS YKAIt.
The amended city charier authorizes
Iho increase of Iho levy to pay rental on
fire hydrants from four to four and one-
half mills.
The levy having boon made for the
present year at the old rate and part of
the taxes having already boon paid ,
there can bo no increase in the amount
available for llro hydrants this year ,
President Lowry and some ether mem
bers of the council to Iho contrary not
withstanding.
There are now 1,103 hydrants in tlio
city. The first 2 , > 0 cost $84 per annum.
The city waterworks company receives
$10 for placing each now hydrant above
the original number and $00 an
nual rental after it is located.
The city last year paid lethe
the water company about S75,000 ,
which is 5 per cent on $1.500,000 , ex
clusive of the income from private con
sumers.
While there will bo no inonoj- for
addilional hydrants this year , the sec
tions of the city needing protection can
nevertheless bo provided for by a redis
tribution o ! hydrants. There are scores
of those , if not hundreds , situated at
long distances from the nearest build
ings , and there are locations whore they
are thicker than ward bummers at a
primary election.
The city should simply have those
superfluous hydrants transplanted whore
they can bo of service. When these
hydrants are redislribulod under direc
tion of the fire and police commission
wo can ascertain how many more
hydrants wo must have for fire protec
tion and whore they are most needed.

Under the amended charter Iho bonded
indebtedness of the city may bo in
creased from 10 per cent to 12 } per cent
of the assessed valuation. This will per
mit an issue of $500,000 in bonds for
grading , curbing , guttering , paving ,
city hall and park purposes. Already a
part of this sum is tied up in the union
depot litigation , but fully $350,000 can
bo raised upon the present valuation ex
clusive of the union depot bonds. Not
to exceed $200,000 can .bo issued in anyone
ono year.
The property benefited pays some
thing like five times as much ns the city
for street improvements , After deduct
ing the amount which will probably bo
required for other purposes there will
bo abiiUiciont sum available to secure an
expenditure all told of something near
$750,000 in public work this year aside
from the parks and city hall. Proba
bly the park expenditures can wait
until the levy for next year is
made and bo covered by a special tax for
the purpose as contemplated by the
charter. This would increase the ex
penditures and1 ° Jmako not loss than
81,000,000 avnllaTJo ) ) from pubiio nnd pri
vate sources. Thii is sulllclniit to greatly
stimulate the jjfHnvth and commerce of
the city If judiciously expended.
Will it bo judiciously expended in the
business contoW'and tm the principal
thoroughfares , ' , ' , ] * will our real estate
speculators and residents of the suburbs
in the council ifoV > to the city revenues to
the opening of Blreots , building of sewers
and paving of cowpalhs on Iho frontier ?
This is the polijt bf greatest concern to
the public. A' council which neglects
the business slrocls for Iho j > urposo of
making improvements to enhance the
price of suburban acre properly must
give the people some assurance that the
money will bo appropriated whore it is
needed before another dollar of bonds
is voted.
Tine Diu has very lltllo confidence in
the present city government. It lacks
much in business nbilitv , candor and
honesty. The several doparlmonls are
continually working at cross purposes
and paying oil personal grudges. Never
theless this public work should bo under
taken and even In the hands of the pres
ent misfits wh6 misgovern the clly , pub
lic Hontlmcnt , the newspapers , the city
attorney , the city comptroller and prop
erty owners can probably compel a
proper expenditure.
The council should proceed at the
earliest moment to draft nn ordinance
for a bond election , specifying distinctly
what use will bo made of moneys ob
tained. Tin : BEE will undertake to
keep citizens informed upon the pur
poses of all largo expenditures and nd-
vlso thorn if any wasteful , corrupt or
improper schemes are attempted.
FIFTY years ago today Horace Grooloy
founded the Now York jfVibioic , nnd the
somi-conlcnninl of that journal is to bo
appropriately celobralod. A number of
prominent men will participate in the
celebration and deliver addresses , among
thorn Secretary Elaine , Charles A.
Dana , long associated with Mr. Grooloy ,
and George William Curtis , at ono time
an editorial writer on the Tribune. This
great paper , which has exorcised in ils
time greater influence upon the
public opinion of the United Slates
lhaii any ether in the period of
Us oxlsleiico , grow out of the Harrison
: nnipnlgn of 1810 , in which Horace

cclivo discussion of public questions.
The blrlli of Iho Tribune was a notable
event in American journalism , and maybe
bo s.iid to have Inaugurated an epoch in
extension of the power and influence
of the press. The distinguished editor ,
whose name nnd 'fame will always bo
identified with it , demonstrated that "in
the hands of men entirely great ,
the pen Is mightier than the sword , "
and it must forever bo a cause
of regret that lib allowed political am
bition to lure him from the field in
which ho was prjo-omincntly groal. The
Tribune has had its share of vicissitudes ,
but it has long boon ono of the most
profitable newspaper properties in the
country , and it continues to exert an in
fluence perhaps'tnoro ' general than any
othor'journal ' In the United States.

Hint the fellow was the pickpocket and

nnd was hurrying to pet back before the cur-
tnln rose again , but the olllcor did not tuko
any notice , nnd pulled and hauled him up

nnd Hobout lot the young man go. The
