Governor Boyd has had a very narrow
escape from being , In chess player's
parlance , stale-muted. If , bays this
eminent legal expounder , the attorneys
of Thayer had followed the custom in
the preparation of demurrers to pati-
tlons and denied everything , then the
court might have stood 4 to 4 and Boyd
would have remained suspended like
Mahomot's collln. This is an' opinion
as Is an opinion.
WHHN Governor Boyd waa ousted
from his olllco many of the men who are
now jubilating over his victory ex
pressed nolthor sympathy nor regrets nt
his summary taking off. This ia huiuui )
nature. When a mini Id prosperous and
inccossful everybody Is his friend ,
When u man is down his falsa friends
turn their h\oks : upon him and express ,
no sympathy for his misfortunes. If you
ivanl to know who your real friends are
fou must experience real advoralty.
TllK report of the national treasury
for January does not show any very ma
terial changes front the condition at the
close of the provlou-i month , but there
was a loss instead of u gain in the cash
b\lunco : , which is n change in the wrong-
direction under existing1 circumstances.
The loss was only a little over $3,000,000 ,
which would have attracted no attention
n year ago hut now eooma largo. The
cash balance ( s now reduced to $ Hi 1,000.-
000 , of which $100,000,000 is the gold
reserve hold for the redemption of
greenbacks qnd a considerable part of
the balance ia in subsidiary silver. It is
thus soon that the available resources ol
the treasury nro brought down to n
pretty low point , and if the cash bal
ance continues to decline congress may
BOOH bo compelled to provide BOUIO extra
ordinary means to enable the troaaiiry
to moot its obligations.

Tlio fight that is being waged In the
house of roprosenUtlvoa over the pro
posed now rule strikingly Illustrates
the disaffection that exists in the demo
cratic ranks. The rules wore framed
with great deliberation , borne delay in
reporting them being duo to the illness
of the speaker , and it was assumed by
Lhe dominant element in tlio house
that they would bo adopted without
much opposition , except , { wrhnps , from
the minority. But objection to them
lias been quite ns marked from demo
crats as from republicans. The discus-
nlon has now been in protrross about u
vfcck , and the record shows more and
sharper democratic criticism than has
coma from the republicans. Ono of the
rules against which this c.-iticism has
boon directed Is that giving the com
mittee on rules extraordinary privileges.
This was obviously miulo with u view to
strengthening the power of the speaker
and it has been vigorously opposed by
democrats who are not of Mr. Crisp's
faction.
It is worthy of remark that this rule ,
reported by a domooratio committee , is
essentially the same as that of the Fifty-
first congress , against which every
democrat in that congress persistently
protested. It is at least interesting to
lind the dominant element of the party
in control of the present house of repre
sentatives taking a rule of a republican
house in order to grotect itself against
the less numerous element of its party.
Another rule which has caused demo
cratic dissension" is the one giving en
larged powers to the committee on ap
propriations. The chairman of Unit
committee , Mr. Holtnan , would have
boon very fflad to have had all appro
priations proceed from his committee ,
but realizing that this could not bo ac
complished ho has cnddavorod to extend
the authority cf the committee over ap
propriations. The plan has mot with
vigorous democratic resistance. A curi
ous incident of this discussion of the
rules was the advocacy by a democratic
roprcbontativn from Now York of the
rule of the Fifty-lirst congress which-
ullowed the speaker to count a .quorum
when members wore present ana would
not voto.
Regarding the tariff there is still
want of harmony among the democrats
of the house. Although the cominitleo
on ways and meaim decided to follow , ns
u policy , the plan of attacking the tariff
act by separate bills , it is by no moans
certain that this action will be acquiesced
in by all the democrats of the house.
Indeed it is highly probable that it will
not bo. Three of the ton democratic
members of the ways and means committee
too voted against the plan , believing it
to bo the duty and policy of the party to
bring in a bill for a general revision of
the tariff , and there is n largo number of
democrats in the hou&e who may not bo
persuaded that tuiy other cqur o would
bo wise or iu the interest of the party
On the question of free silver coinage ,
also , the disaffection appears to bo as
great now as at any time slnco congress
mot.
In addition to those CIIUDUS of conflict
and dissension in the democratic ranks
is the acrimonious strutrglo , apparently
growing inoro bitter every day , between
the Cleveland and nntl-Clovoland forces ,
and when all are considered the outlook
for the democracy this year appears to
bo far from hopeful. A loading demo
cratic paper of the south has recently
said that unless tlioro is a very radical
change in the situation that section will
not bo solid for the democratic candi
date next November.

The exhibit of the lirst nine months
active work of the Real Estate Owners
association la very creditable and grat
ifying. Organized upon tin original plan
nnd having in view amnug other thing *
the uprooting 6f corruption and extrava
gance In the administration of the local
government the association has steadily
maintained itself and contributed in no
small measure to the reforms that are
being inaugurated in our municipal af
fairs.
The association bus also made itself a
factor in the business world of Omahn.
It has assisted in entertaining dis
tinguished visitors nnd stimulated many
enterprises for- the hunolit of the city.
The Interstate drill was secured by its
aid , nnd the association did lu whole
duty In the campaign for the national
convention ,
During Its existence the gross receipts
have boon but * rt,448,08 ; the expendi
tures t2'Jti : .U8 , leaving a not b.ilnnco for
the beginning of the new year of
$1,181.00. With such limited capital at
Ita disposal the association hii : cer
tainly boon inunngod with commendable
economy. Its olllcoro and dlmi'tors have
glvun thnlr tlmo to thn work without
charge. They deserve more encourage-
nont. Tlio treasury should contain funds
sulllclont for emergencies nt all times.
The association does not anticipate civ-
ng bonuses toaccu.ro the location of mills
mil factories. It desires only to be In
position to nrosont information to instl-
.utions seeking locations nnd to enter
tain distinguished visitors who will ad
vertise or otherwise benefit the city.
The Importance of maintaining thin
association cannot well bo overestimated
it this time. The Board of Trade will
become a grain and provision dealers
exchange eventually If the efforts to
nnko Omaha a grain market are suc-
ossful and this association will nutur-
illy fall heir to the Important public
duties hitherto undertaken by the board ,
t has demonstrated Its value to Omaha
jy nine months of useful endeavor. Lot
Mir citizens show tliolr appreciation by
extending- more cordial support.

Not much has boon hoard recently re-
nrding the tin industry In the United
States , but none the less there are facts
showing that It is making steady nro-
TCHS. A correspondent of tin eastern
taper reports a visit he made to n tin
'nctory in Klwood , Intl. , the plant of
whK'h cost a million dollars , most of
which ' was invested by Welshmen who
namigo the works. This factory is
turning out bright tin and the superin
tendent said that by May ho expected to
produce 2,600 boxes of American tin
llato n day. Other plants that are turn
ing out bright tin are loc.Uod at Dem-
lor , Pa. , Cleveland , O. , Apollo and
iVnderson , Ind.St. Louis , and Brooklyn ,
N. Y. , and the rouorted aggregate pro
duction of these establishments is about
5,000 boxes per week. This is evidence
of remarkable progress and it is to bo
observed that it is evidence which no
one ventures to deny. Of course , all the
ore required in making this tin is not
obtained in the United States. The de
velopment of the mines in much slower
than the growth of the manufacturing
industry , nnd very likely will continue
to bo. But block tin is imported free of
duly from the straits of Mnlaccn , so that
the progress of the tin industry need
not bo retarded in cousoquonco of the
inability of manufacturers to get a suf
ficient supply of domestic ore. Few en
terprises in tlio industrial history of
this country had such a rapid growth as
the tin industry has made und thus far
it lias fully justified the promise to its
promoters , while the outlook seems to
bo in the highest degree favorable.
IMl'ItUVHl ) I'OSTAL F
Tlio present administration of the
Postoflico department has already mndo
an exceptional record for practical re
forms and improvements , but it is still
reaching out in the direction of progress
and seeking means to increase the value
of the postal service to the public. It is
announced that the postmaster general
is considering a plan that will make an
extraordinary draft upon the mechanical
resources of the leading railway com
panies of the country , but which , if it
can bo carried out , will greatly expedite
mail service between the cast and west.
The management of the New York
Central system has submitted to the
department a proposition to run a mail
train daily from New York to Chicago ,
making the distance in eighteen hours.
This would reduce the present time
( onio eight hours , and such a train ,
leaving the eastern metropolis at 4
o'clock in tlio afternoon , would roach the
western metropolis at 10 o'clock the next
morning , or at the opening of business.
In order to accomplish this it would bo
necessary to maintain a speed of about
fifty-two miles an hour , and it has been
demonstrated that sucli high rate of
speed is entirely practicable. For nearly
'throe ' mouths a train has been running
daily between Now York city and Buf
falo , a distance of over 400 miles , in less
than eight hours , and if this train should
be continued to Chicago at the samorikto
of speed it would roach that city in about
sixteen hours. Thus a passenger leav
ing Now York at Sin the morning would
arrive in Chicago at about midnight of
the same day. It is understood to bo tlio
intention of the Now York Central man
agement to extend this service in the
near future , but in the meanwhile it will
experiment with a mail train , If its prop
osition to tlio Postollice department
shall bo accepted. In case it is , a similar
arrangement will undoubtedly bo made
for western mail from Philadelphia.
The advantages of such an arrange
ment will bo obvious to business men ,
and they will not bo confined to the
cities between which it is now proposed
to run fast mail trains. If six or eight
hours can bo saved between Now York
and Chicago the Postolllco department
will doubtless make arrangements by
which mail frqm the east for cities west
of Chicago can bo forwarded in less time
than at present. All the commercial
centers of the west and northwest would
certainly share lu the bo no 11U of this
faster mail service. There appears
good reason to expect that this improve
ment will go into effect in thu near
future , and that the arrangements will
bo such as to make it permanent The
postmaster general known the value of
time in business affairs and businena
men will appreciate his practical efforts
in their behalf.

They were largo , good trotters and travel

\V\siuximiv , D. C. , Fob. 2. The wooltly
crop bulletin Issued by the weather bureau
says : In thu central valleys , Including the
greater portion of the wheat region onst ol
the Mississippi , the precipitation for ( ha
month was only about half the usunlnmount ,
out was largely snow.
In tho-sprlng wheat states and In the D.i >
kolas the snow fall was very light and much
loss than usual , St , Paul and .Moorho.nl ,
Minn. , reporting u total absence of prodiiiu-
lion.
In tbo Pnclllo coast tbo precipitation
amounted to only about half to two thirds
Iho usual quantity for January.
Although the grantor portion of the winter
wheat section was covered with snow during
the severest cold of the months f ho snow dls
appeared nnd only remains on the ground
generally throughout the lake region In the
northern portions of Now Encland , the mid
dle Atlantic stutos and in Ohio and nt Hoclcy
mountain stations.
Owing to the protection given by the snow
in the winter wheat belt during the soveru
cold of the month , the Indications uro tha
tbo weather has boon favorable , although
the month closes with a cold wave which
will expose tbo crop uncovered to freezing
temperature within the noxl few days.
On the Pnclllc coast the weather has been
favorable , but crops are in need of rain
which , however , Is generally reported this
morning nt the coast stations.

OMAIM , Fob. 2. To the Editor of Tun
Uii : : : In your Sunday Issue you render thu
city a great service In placing before yonr
readers so fully the facts regarding the lands
that the Union Pacific claims to own , bul
which nro. In fact , the property of the city.
In addition to what is said in that article
upon the subject of the statute of limitations
Ic affirming that the statute does not run
against a municipality , I desire to say the
statute of limitations Is sot in motion only
where the real estate is hold by the party
claiming it under the statute by n possession
that is "actual , adverse , hostile and ox-
elusive. "
in respect of the eighty acres of now-mndo
land and much of the other , the alleged pos
session of thorallroadhas boon no moro "actu-
nl"or"oxcluslvo"than that of the city. Indeed ,
It has bucn neither actual nor exclusive. U
has never boon lenccd , for instance. The
possession of tbo vacant land has been constructive
structivo only , and suc'i ' possession has been ,
by imputation of law , in the real owner ,
the city. To none of the laud or lots dc
scribed lu the deeds in question lias thu
been "adverse" "hostile'
possession or Cor
such ns would grow Into ownership ) if wo
make tbo possible exception of the water
wonts block for the very good and abso
lutely conclusive reason that the Union Pa
cific has hold under the titles civen it by the
citv , and in amity with that title , and not
adversely or In hostility to that title. This
being so , ns far us the lands held under the
deeds containing conditions nnd reversionary
provisions are concerned , the length of pos
session of the Union Pacific counts for noth-
inc. If continued for a thousand years thu
possession would not grow into ownership ,
because it is not adverse or hostile to tlio
city's ' title. The party clnlmiiii ; under the
statute must slrow actual , continued , hostile ,
aavcrso and exclusive possession for ten
years.
Applying those tests there Is scarcely room
to doubt the city's claims. As far as the now-
made laud Is concerned , probably nil the city
has to do is to talio possession. Your , etc. ,
