Yorkers got a vindictive twist upon the
market and they make the Chicago
speculators winco.
THIS Is an off year for democrats , nnd
that Is why Brogan and Honningor have
Sakon thuir names off Iho democratic
Htato ticket as candidates for regents of
the State university. This makes easy
sailing for Charles II. Marplo and n. P.
Shumway , the two competent , popular
and cultured republican nominees.
TAKKK as a whole the republican city
ticket is superior to that nominated by
the democrats. There are a few men
who should not have boon nominated ,
however , and the people will not hesi
tate to substitute democrats or independ
ents in their places. Party politics will
not bo allowed to intcrforo with good
municipal government.
IN Tin : fnco of the positive statement
of Colonel Dniloy , not only to the repro-
Bontatlvcsof thispapor but to ether men
whoso voracity cannot bo impeached ,
that the World-llcmhl' had purposely
misquoted him , and thut the story of
Judge Post'ri indictment was a down
right falsehood , the W.-Jf. persists in
repeating the libel and keeps on with its
Btnut-swlvol.

When the MoKinloy bill wont Into ef

Kinloy bill had na much to do with it as
the man in the moon.
TIIK commlttua on statistics nt the

Woslyans , which is to bo held hero next
May. Uui Ing the sossiou wo shall have
25,000,000 Methodist eyes turned with

A nr.JiocKATio editor culls the atten
tion of farmers to the fact that potatoes
u year ago were worth $1.80 per bushel ,
whereas today they can ho bought for
25 cents , and lie takes tbo farmer to bo
gudgeon enough to believe the MoKln-
loy bill did it. Ono year ago there was
n dead failure of all crops on hundreds
of farms In Nebraska , today the gran

duct. Tho.MoKliiloy bill la just as re
sponsible for the good crop ua for the

TIIK STAXUAIW.
There wna n tlmo In the history (
this country when no man dared t
aspire to a position of honor and ro ;
ponslbllity until ho had proven hi
capabilities in the conduct of his ow
business affairs or in the public service
Andrew Johnson always pointed wit
pride to the fact that ho hud risen sto
by stop from the tailor's bench to a son
in the United States sonnto and finnll
to the chlof majlstracy of th
nation , llo'hnd gained popular cstoor
nnd confidence , first as as n mombo
of the town council of Of oonvlllo , thai
n,8 mayor , member of the Tennessee log
islaiuro , governor , congressman am
United States senator. But Androv
Johnson simply exemplified the fac
that in this country a man of brains IUH
unbending integrity may worlc hia wn ;
up from the lowest rung of the politiuu
ladder to the foremost place within thi
gift of the American people.
Jn our day , when brass and menu
mental self-conceit has taken tlio placi
of brains and honesty , every jackass ii
tlio political tnonagorfo imagines him
self to bo a lion , and every Dogborr ;
thinks himself fit to wear the ormino.
Tbo decadence of the standard o
public ofllcials has filled some of oui
highest offices with mediocre nobodici
and stimulated an ambition for places ol
honor and trust among the Cheap Johm
who could not command 350 n month ai
clerks In n country store.
Nebraska , it is to bo confessed will :
regret , has for sorno yo.vrs shown n
sto idy decadence in this respect whicl :
every thoughtful fiti/en must rcgart
with n sen so of humiliation. While out
people have most substantial reason Ube
bo proud of the material progiess
of tlio Btato and of the honor
able placa it occupies in character
actor and credit among the states of the
union , they can do nothing loss than ac
knowledge that as to sotrio of the mor
who have boon chosen to public po
sition and others who are seeking elec
tion IScbraska is discredited before the
country. Consider her representation
in the next congress. Two of her rep
resentatives are men who are incapable
under any circumstances of exerting
nn iulluenco upon national legisla
tion. They not only nro ignorant
of public affairs , but are wholly deficient
in the knowledge necessary to intel
ligent legislators. The "independent"
congressmen from Nebraska will either
bo entirely ignored or become the laugh
ing stock of their colleagues , and in
either case they will bo utterly valueless
as representatives. The p.irty that elected
these men now seeks to place on the supreme
premo bench of the state a man of oven
Inferior character and capacity. It
would doubtless bo an injustice to Kom
and McKoighan to rank Kdgorton with
them in point of ability and personal
worth , and loss than this could not bo
said of any man having the slightest
claim to fitness for public olllco. The
nomination of Edgerton for associate jus
tice of the suptomo court evidenced the
most deplorable lack of judgment and
greatest indillerenco to the interests
and welfare of the state ever shown by a
political party in Nobr.iska , and per
haps elsewhere.
A conspicuous example of this choau-
oning of public ofllco is sion hero in
Omaha. The position of mayor of a city
of 140,000 population , with such largo
interests as this metropolis has , is ono
of charartor and importance. It should
command the services of an in
telligent , energetic , progressive clti-
7on , capable of appreciating the
possibilities of the city and
of exerting an influence in promoting its
prosperity. The democratic party nom
inated for mayor a man who has none of
these qualifications , or at any rate has
given no evidence of having them.
Every citizen who has any regard for
the character of Omaha must fool that
the election of OstholT would bo a dis
credit to the city , yet the democratic
party , or the element that controls it ,
made bun its loader and hopes to elevate -
vato him to the chief executive otllco of
the citv.
It would bo easy to cite ether examples -
plos , but those referred to are sudl-
ciont to establish the fact that there has
taken place a dancorous loss of popular
concern for good government , which
moans a decadence of public patrotism
the most serious menace to free insti
tutions. The remedy is with the people ,
and the opportunity to apply it is close
at hand.
IPKSTBflA 1'AlItIOTlSM.
Tlio spirit of western patriotism was
very well indicated in the remarks of
ox-Governor Adams of Colorado in re
sponse to Governor Thayor's address of
welcome to the members of the trans-
misslsslppi i-ongross. The people of the
west believe profoundly in the great
destiny of their section , and feeling
a just pride in its develop
ment and in the splendid con
tributions it has nmdo to the
wealth and material power of tbo na
tion , thny are earnestly determined that
the march of progress shall not halt. It
may not bo that all of them hope with
the eloquent gentleman from Colorado
that God will speed the day that our
northern boundary will bo the Arctic
ocean and our southern boundary the
Isthmus of Panama , but none will de
cline tolicquiosco in his suntimont that
wo must press onward and work side
by side and shoulder to shoulder In
upholding and adding to this great now
Qiupiro. The west fools no jealousy of
i ny ether section. It glories in the
prosperity of the "oast and In the In-
lustrlal progress of the south. It Is
proud of the rapid advance of the nation
lo commercial supremacy in the world.
It seeks nothing except that which
ft'ill increase Its ability to contrib-
iito mo.-o largely to the growing
wealth and power of the country.
But It demands that it shu'll
liave such fair consideration as is war
ranted by Its vast possibilities , and that
so prejudice , or jealousy , or selfishness
wall bo permitted to obstruct its prog-
i-ess. It asks only that It shall be given
MI equal chance in national legislation
uid In the favor of the general govern
ment , and fur this it is able to assure a
return of Immeasurable value. With
lioundless resources yet to bo do-
irolopod , the magnificent contribu
tions the west bus made to the
mtionnl wealth are small in comparison
with what it may urn it o within another
generation If the conditions to Us progress
gross nro provided.
The movements instituted within th
past year or two having for their objoc
the creation oi n general public sontl
niont favorable to pushing western development
volopmont , of which the congress now ii
session in this city fl representative
have been fruitful of good results. On
example of this is found in th
larger and more favorable interest tha
is being manifested in the east regard
ing the reclamation of arid lands. I
wisely presented , from the broad poin
of view of national welfare , other problems
loms connected with western development
mont can bo made to grow in genera
popular Interest and favor. vBut then
nro dangers to be avoided which ough
lo bo obvious to the intelligent men win
are loaders in these movements
It is well to have it under
stood that the delegates to " tin
transmlssissippi congress nro > ii
the interest of no political party , but 1
is equally Important that they should hi
in the interest of no policy whoso dlTcc
would bo lo create or perpetuate tlistrus
of western investments. Capital is nocos
nary to the development of the west , inn
it must ho sotiglit olsowhoie. In ordci
to obtain It there must bo an assurance
that the people of tlio west are will
ing to return nn honest dollni
for nn honest dollar received , thai
they are disposed to maintnir
a sound and stable currency , "ovory dollar
lar of which , whether paper or coin ,
shall bo as good as every other dollar. '
Without this tlio patriotism and xonl o !
the people of tlio west will not count fet
all they should bo worth In behalf ol
western development.
THK SCHOOL , HOAlll > .
Every citi/en of Omaha is Interested
in the maintenance of our public schools
in the high standard which they nave
attained. It is the boast and pride ol
Omaha that no city in Amer
ica has bettor public schools.
It would bo a fatal mistake to
allow these schools to deteriorate.
The manifest duty of the patrons and
friends of our schools is therefore to sec
that the best men only shall bo elected
to the school board. And this solcction
should bo made regardless ot sectarian
ism. The board will during the coining
year bo called upon to expend half n
million dollars for school sites , school
houses and ether improvements. For
this reason 'it becomes not merely
n question whether its. members
are known to bo capable , but
whether they are honest. There
is no salary attached to the position and
the only legitimate incentive should bo
a desire to promote the educational in
terests of our city and administer the
estate of the school district in a business
like manner.
Unfortunately men have often sought
the position for mercenary ends and
selfish purposes. This class of aspirants
should bo kept out of the board
no matter to what party they
belong or in what church they worship.
Tin : BEC desires to see the bchool boaid
of Omaha elevated above the ward bum
mer and boodle standard that prevails in
city councils , and it hopes that our citizens
'
zens will make their selections with
care and use their host judgment in
their choice of candidates.
HDOKltlOVN FlGUltKS.
In hia stumping tour through the state
Candidate Edgerton is aoliverinc' him
self of n sot speech , composed and com
piled for the oars of gullible farmers and
credulous working people. Wo need
only to reproduce some of the prepared
food with which Edgorton delights in
regaling his independent followers to
show what arrant domagojry men will
resort to in place of argument in dealing
with the economic issues of the day. In
his speech at Albion Edperton is quoted
as saying :
"Wo find that [ now ] we have 31,000
millionaires and 2,000,000 tramps , while
in 1860 wo had two millionaires and no
tramps. "
If there are actually 31,000 million
aires in America and each of them pos
sesses but a single million dollar's worth
of property the aggregate wealth of our
millionaires would bo $ .110,000,000,000.
Now the estimated true value of all
kinds of property in Iho United States
on January 1 , 1890 , including property
owned and money invested in foreign
countries , and all the public property of
the nation , lands , forts , navies , build
ings , etc. , is but $00,000,000,000 accord
ing to tlio census of 18')0. '
There are 61,000,000 people in tlio
United States. If there are actually in
round numbers , 2,000,000 tramps in this
country then ono out of every thirty-two
of our population is a tramp. In Ne
braska whore wo have 1,050,000 people ,
there would bo an army of 30,000 tramps.
Allowing Hvo members to each familv
there would bo ono tramp in each sixth
family in Nebraska and' the union. But
Hdgorton never troubles himself about
Lho correction of his figures.
In I860 says Edgorton , there were but
two millionaires in this country. As a
matter of fact fortunes were made in
California equalling several millions as
mrly at 1&10 and 1850. The Asters ,
Vandorbilts nnd a bcoro of other Ameri
cans had already amassed their mil
lions. Before 1800 there were southern
planters owning more than 1,000 slaves
md those represented a million to say
iiothing of their lands. Several estates
in Virginia were worth ever u million ,
Mid scarcely a city of 50,000 people in
1800 could bo found In which there was
lot u man whoao possessions were rook-
Jtied by seven figures ,
The assertion that there were no
.ramps in 1800 Is equally baseless.
WVcry man old enough to know nny-
, hlng about It can recall tlio distress of
1857 when thousands of paupers walked
.ho streets bogging for food nud ether
.housandu tram pad through the country
n quest of employment. In those good
> ld times comm m laborers worked
, wolvo hours a day for 7o cents.

Some weeks ugo It was estimated by con-
icrvatlvo authorities that the wheat crop
imountod to about 535,000,000 bushels. Col-
: ulatlons based upon tbo latest reports of the
Agricultural department show that this ostl-
nnto must bo enlarged. It now scorns to bo
i fair ostlmato that the crop is 580,000,000
jushols , with a probability that oven this
'normout quantity falls below the actual
, -Iola. The harvostlijj5jf so largo a crop par-
nits the sale of at least 1350,000,000 bushels to
