DEMAOOOUUS may howl and walking

presented in THK BKK today are unas-
satiable.
CAMTAUSTS and settlers will find in
Nebraska the class of people who save
money and pay their debts for two rea
sons. They are honest and the atato
enables them to prosper.
IF IT bo true that there are boodlors
in our city council , why don't that body
undertake to fasten guilt upon suspected
parties ? Continual charges of corrup
tion are disgracing the city.
THK men barn in 18ol are yet In their
prime , and those born in 1807 have
scarcely entered the field of enterprise.
Nebraska became a territory in 1854 , a
atato in 1807 , and twenty-four years
later aho la an omplro in woiilth and re
sources.

AccouuiNO to the census bulletin
giving statistics of education , just Is
sued , the per cent of gain in public
school om-ollnioiit In Nebraska , during
- the docndo from 18SO to 1800 , was 18a23 ,
which was slightly In excess of the gain
In ( topulation. Except the now states ,
Nebraska lends all the others In the In-
oroaso of school enrollment , and pre
sents a very marked contrast to most of
the older states. The most remarkable
galna were In North uiid South Dakota.
" torial progress , the march of Nobraskn
hns boon notnblo. Tin : BIR : presents
In this isnuo carefully collected nnd
trustworthy statistics showing the
progress of this state In population and
wealth , and It la nil exhibit In which
every citizen of Nebraska wilt find cause
for prldo and confidence. In Illustrating
what has boon accomplished U polntt
out , also , what Is still possible of
achievement before the resources
of this great stnto ahull have
reached the limit of development.
A study of these statistics , which
show an aggregate prosperity that will
compare favorably with that ot most of
the states , and are a conclusive answer
to these who have persistently assorted
that our people are not prosperous , will
satisfy all intelligent men that it was
not a moro figure of speech which Pros-
dent Harrison employed when in Omaha
in referring to the vast capabilities of
Nebraska. There hns boon extraordin
ary development in the last twenty
years , but there is every reason for the
confident belief that in the ensuing
equal period this state will realize a
greater growth and attain the first place
among the agricultural states of the
nation. Ten years ago there were
but eight states of the 33 with a smaller
population than Nebraska. Now 18 of
the 41 states have a loss number of In
habitants than Nebraska. The growth
of population during the decade
from 1880 to 1890 was relatively greater
than that of any ether state In the
union , except tlio now states while in
actual numbers it was exceeded by
only four ether states Now
York , Pennsylvania , Illinois and Texas.
If the same rate of progress shall bo
maintained during the next lOyoars the
population of Nebraska in 1000 will exceed
two millions , and thoi-o Is every reason
to expect that it will roach that
figure. by the cloao of the
century. Equally noteworthy has
been the Increase In the assessed val
uation of the state , and it is to bo ro-
markcd of this that it would bo much
larger if the ratio in most other states
were adopted hero. The statistics of
bank deposits make iv most gratifying
exhibit , showing as they do a per capita
of homo capital exceptional tor a purely
agricultural stato. Tlio figures showing
the increase in grain production , in
i < tock raising , und in other industrias ,
are most interesting and instructive.
Nebraska still has an unimproved area
as largo as the entire area of the two
states of Maryland and Massa
chusetts , greater than that of the
two states of Now Hampshire nnd Now
Jersey , and the larger part of it can and
will bo made available for agriculture.
When this is done Nebraska will have
added to her productive capacity a region -
gion half ns largo as tbo state of Ohio ,
and capable of supporting a population
as largo us that of the state at present.
Prom such facts the citizens of Ne
braska may derive the' largest measure
of satisfaction , encouragement and con
fidence. They show an aggregate pros
perity which , it is believed , is exceeded
by few of the states , nnd they carry in
spiriting promise of continued progress.
The "vast capabilities" of Nebraska are
still far from the limit of possible
development. There is hero a territory
that will sustain well throe mil
lions of people , with a soil
and climate adapted to the most
diversified productions of which
any portion of this country is capable.
There is grown in this state the finest
corn produced anywhere in the world ,
nnd nil other grains flourish hero.
Nebraska has the best soil for the sugar
bcbt on this continent In short , there
are hero all the conditions to attract the
farmer und assure him a profitable re
turn for his industry. Nebraska has
had n great past nnd will have a greater
future.
USIAITA AND TIIR ITKAJIIDS.
Citizen Train Is nothing if not original.
No ether friend of Omaha has thought
It worth whllo to unite in thought the
marvels of all the centuries , the pyra
mids of Egypt with the marvel of the
pastqunrtorofacontury , Omaha. Thoro-
roro It remained for this eccentric genius
with the most consummate method in his
alleged madness to plnco upon the top
of the great tombs of the ancient Egyp
tian kings the record of an epoch 4,000
years later than the inscriptions upon
: heir sarcophagi.
There is nothing ridiculous about this
conceit of Train. The fact that it is a
daring piece of advertising mnkca it
striking but not absurd. The great
pyramid la 450 foot high. It covers 13
acres at its base. It required 100,000
men 20 years to erect it. It is the most
ancient monument to man's genius ox.-
Miit. The Bocrots of its masonry and of
: ts architecture have bafllod the keenest
intellects and the moat industrious in
vestigations since history began to take
note of its existence. Astronomy and
mathematics , chemistry and physios ,
philosophy and religion have combined
, o establish the date of its construction
and the component parts of Its cement-
Jig material but all have failed. Wo
juostf at Its ugo , the purpose of its con-
ttruution and the manner of hoisting its
minonso stono.s and placing them in po
sition , \Vo know almost nothing be
yond the fact of ita existence and its
mmonsity.
When the visitor now roaches Its
summit nnd drops into meditative spec-
ilatlon as to whether Molohisedok or
Slykorinos Is Its architect he will turn
'or ' relief to a pamphfot on Omaha. On
top of this wonder of forty centuries ho
will turn to road that in 1880 Omaha
md 30,000 people nnd In 1890 140,000.
3o will road that In 1855 the whole ter

and then will observe that she now has
1,058,000. Ho will BOO in the

HA Itl'KST KXCUHSIOXS.
Tuesday , July 14 , the Trans-Mlssour
Railway Trnlllc association convenes at
Kansas City. At that time final action
will bo taken upon the subject of har
vest excursions.
Tnu Buu in common with the press ol
the atato regards this subject aa ono o :
very great Importance.
Nebraska's reputation has been at
tacked by demagogues and her charac
ter ns an agricultural atato has boon Im
peached. Eastern people nro laboring
under very grave misapprehensions of
the conditiona prevailing .hero. The
failurss of crops for a year or two have
discouraged immigration , weakened the
faith of investors nnd caused the aban
donment of some farms not yet under
cultivation.
Nebraska never looked moro attrac
tive than at present. Her people were
never more hopeful for the future. No
man who has lived In thtg atato , for ton
years has over doubted iho proposition
that Nebraska Is the most fertile
agricultural section of America or had
any fears for her future. It Is only
the casual visitor or the uninformed
eastern man who has lost faith in her
worth as a grain growing -common
wealth.
\Vo want people who are looking to
the west for homos niid investments to
see the state as she is in all her beauty.
\Vo want tlio evil impressions of a bad
crop year removed. Wo want our friends
to join us in a harvest jubilee.
Wo cannot expect to have them visit the
state in numbers unless the rates are
made an inducement to comn.
The railways have ns much at stake as
the people of the state. They cannot
afford to discourage tbo excursions.
They should unite upon the old harvest
rates , or bettor ones , and so put all
eastern passenger agents In the
field to advertise Nobraskn. THE
BEE hopes General Passenger Agents
Francis , Lomax and Buchanan will
make a strong presentation of tlio im
portance of the harvest excursion and
convince the association of its necessity.
OUTLOOK FOll TllK WES r.
The region west of the Mississippi has
not for many years had so favorable an
outlook for prosperity and progress as it
now has. In portions of it the conditions
in recent years have boon quite as satis
factory as at present , but considering it
as a whole , if the promise of this year is
verified the results will probably exceed
in value these of any proviousyosirin our
history. There have boon some extreme
estimates of the probable amount of the
crops which a raoro careful and in
telligent investigation of the situa
tion has mndo it necessary to
modify , but the most conservative esti
mates place the yield considerably above
the average , and there is hardly a pos
sibility that these will not bo borne out
by results. The west will have a largo
surplus of grain , and there will bo a de
mand for " , it at good prices. It is now
assorted that Europe will have the
shortest crop in a number of years. Her
probable deficiency is estimated at 175-
300,000 bushels , and it is more likely to
exceed than to fall below that amount.
She must look to the United States to
supply the greater part of tins , and
no tariffs that European countries may
adopt will keep American breadstuffs -
stuffs out of their markets. This situa
tion moans well maintained and 'profit '
able uriccs for our grain. . The Ameri
can producer is to bo paid this. year.and
next a fair compensation for his industry ,
and something moro. Ho is to bo per
mitted to experience what ho has , not
known for several .years , an appreciable
improvement in his'finnncial affairs. Ho
will have money to pay his way and to
moot maturing obligations. If ho bo
'ortunato in not being victimized by
speculators on the ono hand or
ill-ad vised schemes in restraint
of trade on the ether , ho
will count this year as ono
of exceptional benefits , memorable , per
haps , as the beginning of a prolonged
era of steadily increasing prosperity for
agriculture.
It is conceivable that the time will
come , and It may not bo very remote ,
when the west will change from the
debtor to the creditor section of this
country. A few years of good crops at
n-ofitablo prices would bring this about.
Jut it is perhaps suHlclont to confine
consideration to the Immediate outlook
uul this la ot the most choorlnjj and
gratifying character.
$ fT I'KIl CAPITA.
The total sum of money on deposit in
.ho banks of Nobr.iska exceeds $50-
100,000. It Is in excess of $17 per capita ,
Pho per capita of the total circulating
nodlum , gold , silver and bank treasury
notes in the United Slates , is loss
than $124. In ether words the people
of Nebraska have twice us much money
n bank subject to check pur capita us
the people of the ontirn union have
nonoy for the transaction of business.
This is a most significant fact , nnd
speaks volumes for the resources of the
Btato and the character of the people.
Die bulk of the population of Nebraska
d engaged In agricultural or kindred
pursuits. The year just passed , has been
unfavorable for crops , and in preccd-
ng years prices of farm products have
ranged below the average. Nebraska Is
i now state nnd her people have
won necessarily borrowers to a largo
extent because they were engaged in de
veloping now territory. In face of these
untoward qlrcurnstancos the actual
Igures ot savings aio phenomenal.
In view of the discussions which have
confused our well informed people upon
, ho relative financial condition of the
farming community of Nebraska and the
west these figures are of ospoclul Impor
tance. They glvo the lie direct to the
malevolent mtsstatomonts ot demagogues
nnd provo what every thinking man in
the state has believed , iinmoly that in
spite of recent discouraging experienced
above the avorngo In fin-
nricfnl prosporllT-Iopo lti In the banks
roproaont the actual surplus of cosh.
They are not cVoarlng house credits
or hypothetical njisots. Nebraska has
but two considerablecltlos and no ether
great manufacturing or commercial
centers. The bank deposits nro not
therefore the totfporary receipts from
largo transacltoik , but the results of
years of economy and successful busi
ness energy , f ( J
Nebraska bosow men of immense
wealth. These savings are consequently
the accumulation\ > f the many and not
of the few. They are merely the begin
nings ot the future wealth which labor ,
soil and business skill nro building up In
this commonwealth. Our savings In
these dull times , after years of small
profits , are remarkable- . What will tha
per capita of deposits In banks bo when
wo have achieved the developments of
fifty years Instead of twonty-llvo ?
THICIIK is no comfort for the traducers
of Nebraska in the statistics which THE
BUB presents this morning. They bear
conclusive testimony that in the nggro-
gate the people of this state are enjoy
ing as largo a measure of prosperity as
these of almost any ether state in the
union. Tlio splendid crop prospects for
tills year , if realized , will materially in
crease tills prosperity nnd put the great
majority of our producers in a position
to easily moot every obligation. The
outlook for Nebraska is altogether
cheering.
PAHNnr.1 , is getting no mercy
from any quarter since the defeat of his
candidate at Carlow. Everywhere that
result appears to bo regarded as decisive
of his fate as the loader of the Irish
party , and although ho professes not to
feel disheartened it is difficult , to see
how ho can longer make a stand against
the overwhelming opposition that con
fronts him. Ho must now see that his
best course would have boon to avoid
the conflict in which both honor and the
credit for patriotism have boon sacri
ficed.
WITH an unimproved area half as
largo as the atato of Ohio , Nebraska has
room for n great many moro people.
These people who want to impose fur
ther restrictions upon immigration can
not hope , therefore , for any supporl
from this stato. Nebraska expects to
add 1,000,000 to her population in the
next 10 years , and this cannot bo done
if the honest and Industrious foreigner
is shut out of the country. All good
people will find'ivcwolcomo hero , wher
ever they como.from.
THE statistics of bank deposits in
Nebraska shows' very fair amount of
homo capital. Ot course there could bo
no objection to mpo , but it is desirable
to acquire it the same way that
what wo have has been acquired , thaf is ,
by honest industry and judicious thrift.
These alone moVe a sound nnd stable
financial condition. All ether ex
pedients for 'creating capital are
essentially dangerous , and if persisted in
must eventuate in disaster. .
THEKE would bo little or no boodlincr
on the part of certain members of the
board of education if the reputable
members were moro attentive to busi
ness. Should an investigation bo or
dered , as it must sooner or later , some
ot the worthy members will be severely
criticised for * their indifference to the
interests ot the taxpayers. It is hig h
time for a thorough house cleaning.

When n man has the reputation of bolnfplnin

Ltscoi. * , Nob. , July 11. [ Special to TUB
BET. ] W. B. Price , n well known young nt-
tornoy of Lincoln , has undergone the. pleas
ant experience of bolng nmrrlud twlco within
tlio past mouth , nnil to the same young lady
each tltno. It appears Hint seine weeks since
they were united In marriage by Hov. ( I ) J.
8. Edwards , a supposed clergyman of tub
city , and the young pooplo. rested secure In
the ballot that they were legally and surely
tied , but one day It came to the oars of the
groom that the man who had married thorn
was an ox polled minister , and therefore had
no legal right to marry nny persons , natur
ally ho confided In his brldo , and nftor con
sulting several attorneys found that the mar
riage was all right anyhow. The young
woman , however , would not ra t under the
uncertainty , and the groom deferred to her
wishes , and a row days since they quietly
stopped Into Judro Stewart's offlco and were
made one sure r.nd fast.
The man Edwards , who performed the
ceremony , Is known In Iowa as "Patent-
right Joe. " Ho has done some preaching
when business was dull , but It
Is alleged by the Methodist min
isters hero that serious charges were taatlo
against Edwards In Iowa about seven weeks
ago und ho was given the chotco of either
standing a church trial or withdrawing
entirely from the Methodist church. To
avoid any public scandal ho took the latter
course and now does not belong to any
church.
* TO TUB sniinr : CASK.
The filing of the suit yesterday afternoon
by Detective Plnnoo for services rendered
Airs. Mary Shocdy In securing nor acquittal
urcsagos some very interesting developments
unless the suit is Immediately compromised.
If it comes to trial in the regular order , which
will bo in about two weeks , and the detec
tive is asked to specify for what purooso bo
expended the money tin speaks of , there Is
very lltUo doubt but thiit ho would toll. If
ho does there will bo lively times ahead. It
is just such testimony as ft is generally bo-
llovod Pinneo possesses that the heirs are
looking for as the basis of a suit to prevent
Mrs. Sheedy from obtaining the share of the
estate she claims.
It Is learned from an authoritative source
that Mr. Pinnoo has made every ollort to
settle the claim , having oven niaao a proposi
tion to Mrs. Sbcedy to arbitrate the matter ,
but S. M. Melick , who is attending to the
financial affairs of Mrs. Shoody , refused to
do so or to name any pnco which ho would
pay , Some sensational development' are ex
pected. Stearns & Strode , who have repre
sented the widow all through , have advised
that the claim bo paid , but Pinnoo's claim is
receiving the same treatment , as that of the
Carders and others.

BUSINESS F.UI.UItK.
The grocery store of G. B. Dritton , at 1410
O street , was closed at 4 : UO yesterday after
noon by D. E. Green , trustee of Gertie ana
Joe Boyle , under a chattel mortgage for
$1,037.50. The owner of the store Is u
woman , the wife ofV. . C. Britton , who
has been managing It. Mrs. Britton was a
widow before she married Britton , and some
of the money used in the business , It is said ,
belonged to the children , for whoso benefit
the mortgage is mado. The Ashland mill
and electric light company began suit in
county court for & 4S0.40 , duo for Hour fur
nished , and swore out an attachment , claim
ing that Mrs. Britton was converting her
property into cosh for the purpose of de
frauding her creditors. Deputy Sheriff
Hoagland served the attachment this morn
ing. The liabilities amount to about $3,000 ,
aside from the mortgage , but there will belittle
little left for the creditors after the mortgage
is satistlod. At least that is the outlook , as
Britlnn bos taken possession of the books
and refuses to glvo the creditors nny satis
faction. Raymond Brothers and Hurproavos
are the heaviest creditors , with about $500
apiece.
It was rumored this morning that Britton
bad loft the city , but this Is not probable.
H. P. Lau narrowly escaped bolng caught , as
n consignment of goods intended for Britton
arrived only this morulnir. Too free credit
ing and inattention to business are givou as
the causes for failure.
