It has done HO in days win the democrats wore dyspeptic and d billtatod and no complaints wore hoar Now that the party is robust and has keen nppotlto entertainment will bo i the easier. THE official alliance organ of Kans says : "Wo have not a shadow of rig to use the funds of the [ alliance ] tro isu /or strict party purposes. " What do Iho alllunco organ of Nebraska say this ? How will that organ and the sta olllcoraof the alliance explain the fa that $1,200 of : il 1 ( unco funds wont in the pool for contesting the election etato officials last winter ? Was not II contest strictly a party measure ? Tim people will not accept the stal tnonls of two city olllciuls regarding tl Absolute fairness of the award of tl contract for vault fixtures in the cl liall. The charge of fraud is coupli with an olTor to furnish ample proof ai either the city council or the grand ju should accept the challenge und deraui the evidence which is proffered.

The Hoard of Educatlon proh bly understands the requirements of tl educational department bottof thai : tl council , and 2 mills ia u low tux rate , is perfectly proper for that body to d nuuid a detailed statement of propoji expenditures and to suggest rotrenc mont , but the board Is clearly given tl right to determine the amount of men which must bo raised by general tax tion within legal limits. The count has no liiacrotion in the premises , unle it van show wasteful extravagance i the part of the board , and in that ca its appeal would not bo to the charter the oonrta , but to public sentiment , ftny olTort to enforce economy. OMAHA is making magnlllcont strld ( or second place ns a hog market at hog-packing center. Kansas City aho a docrousa for January 1892 ever t receipts for January 1891 of 33,7.8 ! hog while Omaha's receipts increasi 89,600. St. Louis and Chicago also port a decrease for January , The pat Ing record for the season is llkewl flattering to Omaha. The season's pai " in Omaha thus far has been 510,000 hot a gain over last year of 189,000. Kuns City packers have disposed of 790,0 hoga , a gain of but 17,000 ever last yen Another good crop in Nebraska wi lla corresponding increase of markotul btook Is all that is needed to onat Omaha to pass her down-rlvor rival. THK STATK noAnn or Annirt'iTtfn , Some of the state pinars affect to bi llovo that rccont strictures up * i th State Board of Agriculture in these en umns arc duo to the refusal of th board to relocate Iho state fair i Omaha for llvo years. Tn this they ar entirely mistaken. Wo have nc scolded the board * b3cntno they refine to locate the fair in Onialri thro a yo.u ago , and wo certainly did m t > xpoc that what wo might say now wou tl hav any ofoct upon Its action tw. > yo'Xt hence. Wtiy our criticism of the bo ir should bo ascribed to n disposition o the part of Omiha to cripple Lincol passes our comprehension. The out explanation Is that Lincoln and eon : ether newspapers never fall to vent thol malice upon Omaha upon the ftlightos opportunity. Omaha mij ; have bao disappointed bac.iusu the fair w.is locate In Lincoln , but there Iris never baon tin , disposition on her part to interfere wit the success of the annual exposition o the Hoard of Agriculture on that at count. This la abundantly shown b the very largo attendance of O.nah pcoplo at the annual fairs , and the generous orous support given them by Onmh merchants , manufacturers and others 1 the way of special exhibits. Wo are of the opinion that a Stal Board , of Agriculture should con till enough practical farmers to control II policy. The board should bo glvon legal'status and its duties should b proscribed by statute. It should not I so constituted as to enable a ring to cot trol it year after year. The board i managers should not bo chiefly politic ; hacks or scheming capltillsts not 01 gairod in agricultural pursuits. Tli olllcoru should bo men of known problt of character. A defaulting troisuro whoso accounts remain unsettled ougl not to bo eligible tea _ rejponsible pos tion in connection with its managomon There should bo some chock upon i expenditures and n propo. ' review of I financial transactions provided for I law. The state legislature , the audik or some branch of the state govornmoi should bo authorized to investigate II methods and report upon the wlsdo and olllcionoy of its management , should not otter extravagant suras i money for horse-trots and ridiculous inadequate premiums for fine stoc farm products , etc. , etc. TIIF.

It Is convinced that the unnu receipts are largo enough to enable tl State Board of Agriculture to do ; much for keening Nebraska advertise abroad as has been done by the Kansi board for that state. The boiru shou ! by all moans bo under legislative co trol , so that the people may know , n only what business it is supposed transact , but may fool sum that what attempts is in the Interest of the sta at largo and not the favored few wl , can perpetuate themselves indefinite ! ( IIVKS UL' T1IK FIGHT The Louisiana Lottery company h announced that it gives up the fight f a renewal of its charter. It has be < holding on in the hope that the suproi : court of the United States would docla the anti-lottery law enacted by the In congrcfcs unconstitutional , and the de < sion of the court that the law is vnl knocked the last prop from under tl company. The law prohibits sondit through the malls nowspiporscontai ing lottery advertisements and circula or any ether form of lottery nnnounc mcnts. Suits wore instituted under tl law against two newspapers as test case and the contention was that the law unconstitutional on the ground that abridges the freedom of the press. Tl supreme court held that the pow glvon to congress to regulate the enti postal system of the country and to dc Ignato what mny and what may not 1 excluded from the mnlls is complot and carries with it power to forbid tl use of the mails in aid of Iho perpetr tion of crime or immorality. The la1 it was said bv the court , does not abridj the freedo.n of the press for the roast that the government does not proliil communication by other moans , b blmply through the government ngencl which it controls. It is a legitimate e orciso of the power of congress to fu nish mall facilities for the people , ai it is also true that mail facilities uro n roqujrod to bo furnished for every pui pose. The question of grant ing anew charti to the lottery company had bocoiuo leading issue in Louisiana and both of tt political parties were divided into bi torly warring factions on the quostio The last loglslutuio submitted a consl tutimml amendment to the people pr vidlng for granting to the lottery coi pany a privilege for twenty-five you the company to pay an annual llcon : tax of $1,250,000. This amendmei was to have been voted upon at tl olostlon In April next , but now that tl otllcors of the company announce thi they \\ould not accept a charter if tin could have it without the payment of dollar of llcoiiso tax the matter will u douhtodly bo dropped out of popular 11 tcntlon. The elTcct upon tlio sever tickets in the Hold will bo interobtin The fact that the lottery company wi able tq pay an annual license fee $1,2.50,000 illustrates the vast profi fraudulently taken from the people the country by that institution. run iMi'oin'Axt'K op .vwir vo/w. The political importance of Now Yoi In the presidential election of this yet is fully rccognUed by both parties , Bi that state Is absolutely necessary democratic buccoss , while the ropu llt-uns can win without It , Thn Nc York .Sun remarks that in the last foi presidential elections the result * wo determined by thoelot-toral votes of Nc \ork , and although there has been now apportionment for this yoa- louvos Now York moro than ever befo the decisive state.

They cannot win without I Thocontorof political Importance Is tl Empire atato. " There can bo no dou as to the correctness of this vlow , and must of necessity h-ivo an alMmporta inllucnco in determining the choice of candidate by Iho national democrat convention. There are mon who wl doubtless insist upon n particular catid tlato regardless of the possible or pro able effect on the party in Now Yor but the practical politicians who wl dominate the convention will give di weight to the situation In the Kmpli stato. At present the situation dons not lot favorable for the democrats , notwltl standing tholt1 decisive victory In tl last stuto election. The confllctbotwot the Hill and Cleveland factions is groi ing moro bittor. and there aopoars n the slightest reason to suppose that tl breach can bo closed. Hill IB in ft : command of the political machinery his parly , and ho cannot compromise c yield anything to the Cleveland factlt without a loss of prestige that mlgl utterly undo him as u leador. The pi test nralnst the convention this mont railed at the dictation of Hill will pro' ' ably have no ether olTocl than to inlonsi the hostility between the factions ai : drive them further apart. The convoi tion will undoubtedly moot at the a pointed time , and Iho delegates it wi choose will bo favorable to IIlll as presidential candidate , and after him any ether man oxcupt Cleveland. Th much is very generally conceded as foregone conclusion. On the ether liar it is equally cert tin that the friends t Cleveland will make no concession This is the situation as It stands , tin it would seem to determine that no No York man can bo nominated nt Chlcag Hut a candidate whoso nomlnatli should be dictated by oilhorof the dom cratic factions in the Empire state woul probably bo objectionable to the otho ami therefore could not command tl full support of the party in the stale. Thus in any event the chances of tl republicans carrying Now York no : November appear to bo oxdellont , ai since it is agreed that the domocrn cannot win without that state , the on look for llutt party In the national co test must bo regarded as anything bi hopeful. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ M.IKK FOKl' 031AH.I A.

" Whisky Trust Anulrs. The directors of the Whisky trust ad journed last night after ono of tbo most mo mentous meetings in its history. Almost all of tbo linal session was devoted to the matter of leases. Green bill's idea was tbat the leased properties bo purchased outright. This would necessitate the expenditure ol nearly $1,000,000 and. Iho directors could uot unite upon tbo question. It is not in tbolr power , however , to authorize any such pur chase. Mr. GJreenhut mori'ly proposed that the directory would unanimously recommend thl ? action to the annual meeting to bu held at Peoria in April , Tlio leases expire May 1 noxt. The trust has the option of the pur chase or a revaluation. Six per cent on u 10- valuation would necessnilly moan f. gioatur rental ana the directory does not wish to pay it. The landlords apparently uro not worry ing as to which end of the dilemma the trust will tnko hold of. But the directors have to face otio other fact. In raso the directors ao- cept a revaluation it mav nccossltatu giving exact llgnies as to the prolitsaml the amount on baud.
