lion. Charles Foster , secretary of the
treasury , opened the republican cam
paign in Ohio a few dnys ago with a
moHt Instructive speech on the finances
of the country. Tlio secretary stated nt
the outset that his addro-sS would bo
largely historical nnd free from parti
sanship , and ns far as possible this
was observed , some reference to ilomo-
crntlq financial projects being unavoid
able.
able.Tho
The proposal of the democratic party ,
In its national platform , to repeal the
tax on state bank Issues triturally re
ceived a liberal share of attention from
Secretary Foster. After tracing the
currency of the American colonies and
the Continental congress , and sketching
the various forms of the circulating
medium prior to 1800 , ho discussed at'
length the war circulation. Tlio per
capita , tanged from 83.27 in 1800 to
810.51 In 157. It was SI UW in 1800. In
the panics of 18.77-and 18i the durnntro-
mont of the paper currency was the Im
portant factor. The system of issuing
bank notes was radically changed by the
bank act of 180-1. The notes Issued by
state banks were not uniform in value
oven at homo , while very few banks were
HO widely known as to give currency at
par to their notes at any considerable
distance from the place of issuo. A
traveler passing from ono stito to an
other , said Secretary Foster , or oven
between distant points In the same
state , was compelled to provide himself
with coin if ho would avoid the vexation
nnd loss incident to his condition. An
extensive nnd profitable usinoes. known
as note shaving , grow out of this state of
the currency , and the loss usually fell
upon thoio least able lo boar It.
Tliis condition was especially bad in
times of p'inic , for then the suspension
of specie piymonts by the banks still
further impaired the value of all bank
notes , nnd in many instances completely
destroyed It. There is no doubt , said
the secretary , tlmt the variable values
of bank circulation before the war in
creased the cost of llvinir and dimin
ished tlio wages of all classes , and that
none wore benefited thereby but the
banks of Issue and those whoso occupa
tion was note shaving. Another feature
of the state bink circulation tbnt was
productive of loss and inconvenience
was the fact that ouch bank had it own
plates engraved in a high or low style
of art , according to the moans or ca
price of the bank officials. Hundreds of
designs , , good , bad and indifferent , were
therefore in existence , nnd only an ex
pert could distinguish counlo-foit from
genuine notes. This Increased the
tendency of the notes to remain within
n narrow circle and nt the same time
added to the opportunities of profit or
fraud in their circulation.
Every man whoso recollection goes
back to the period when the paper cur
rency of the country consisted wholly of
state bank issues will endorse as abso
lutely accurate those statements of Secretary -
rotary Foster , nnd will also agree with
him that no greater misfortune could
befall the financial interests of the people
of the United Statcbthan a return to the
system of bank currency which obtained
down to the time of the passage by con
gress of the act which taxed state
bank issues out of existence. Those who
advocate the repeal of the tax and they
nro almost without exception states
rights democrats assort that the co.idi-
tions have so changed In the last thirty
years that there is no danger of a rostor-
ration of the wildcat currency , but no
man of fair intelligence- regarding I'm an-
clnl affairs will bo deceived by an assur
ance of this kind. If It shall over happen
again that blato banks are permitted to
issue circulating notes , subject , as they
would necessarily bo , only to state regu
lation , the country will bo inevitably
Hooded , "as it was thirty years ago , by a
currency of variable value , to the great
loss of the producing nnd Inburinir
classes , and of bonolit to nobody but the
banks of issue nnd the note shavers.
OHAROK IN rilK COH.V OUTLOOK.
The farmers of Nebraska are fortu
nate this year in the continued favorable
conditions which have Insured n good
corn crop , but our neighbors in Kansas
have within the past few days abandoned
all hope of oven a fair yield this fall.
The Kansas City 'limes siys that the
condition of the crop in that state "Is
very serious , in some localities posi
tively alarming , and is moreover grow
ing worse. " It appears that hot winds
have prevailed everywhere in that state
of late and that in some localities corn
has boon burned up. "Even with the
most copious rains from this time for
ward , " says the paper quoted , "many
counties will have only half a crop ,
while others are oven now beyond re
demption. It is possible that the
splendid wheat nnd oats yield will bo
about the only source of revenue to the
farmers for the year 1892. " The grain
dealers of Kansas are ttald to have given
up all hope of moro f him two-thirds of
a crop , oven under tno most favorable
circumstances , while many do not ex
pect half a crop.
Those discouraging reports from
Kaiibiis contrast strangely with the reports -
ports from all parts of Nebraska. It is
only a few days hinco .1 drenching rain
passed over this state , reviving vegeta
tion and giving corn a sure hold for
the remainder of the season In most
localities , and now another heavy rain
Is reported fr.mi the western p irt of the
state , wlnm > It was most needed. It
hardly s'joins possible- that the corn
crop can full to bo a plentiful ono in
Nebraska this year , though it is
noKiiotvlodgod to bo at least two weeks
later than usual , which may expose It
to danger from early frosty. In corn as
in everything else , there can bo no
absolute houurlty from loss until the
crop U harvested ; but the farmer * of
this state have seldom had a fairer out
look than they hhvo today.
In Iowa the prospout for a good crop
of corn continues to ha favorablo. In
Illinois the yield will fall considerably
below thu average. In the latter state
the oreo la nld to indicate about 7U per
cout of a reason vblo uvorngowhlo.h may
bo taken to mean that not tnuro thaii
three-quarters of a orop Is to bo ox-
] > octed.
The wheat prospect , which always
has an Important inlluonco upon the
corn market , Booms to bo generally fair ,
but the Mnrkcl Ucconl takes : i gloomy
view of the outlook in Minnesota and
North nnd South Dakota. It says that
there will bo a shortage of about. f0,000- !
000 bushels In those states , making their
crop for tills year approxinutoly 1HO-
000,000 bushels. The falling olT Is duo
largely to intense heat and hail storms.
Taking the principal corn nnd wltcnt
districts together Is now scorns probable
thnt in both ot these ceroal.s the nggro-
gnto yield for this year will bo a llttlo
below the average , but there is yet time
for n change for the bettor in corn. So
far as Nebraska id concerned it would
scum from present indie itlons that the
farmers of this sliito nro to bo congratu
lated. With no moro than an average
crop of either corn ; wheat in this
country , and with the short yield in
Europe that is now reported , there need
bo no apprehension ruinously low
prices this year.
PRO.1I GKNTKll TO
In making now paving digit-lots it
would bo wise to give special at
tention to streets In the center
of the olty. Heretofore the policy
seems to have boon to devote
the intersection fund in aid of parties
who clamor for pavement on outlying
streets leading to some now addition to
the city , where the travel is light and
where there Is no other reason for pave
ment than to enhance tlio value of real
ostnto hold fo.1 speculation. This maybe
bo all right under cortiln conditions ,
but only when the inside streets nro well
provided for. As long as there nro any
un paved street * in the business center
the paved streets are always submerged
with mlro after every heavy rain and it
is almost impossible to keep them clean.
Another strong argument In favor ot
completing the paving in the center ot
the city is that the property can boar
the tax more readily and the paving
will bo followed by substantial Improve
ments in the nhapa ot brick nnd stone
structures , o'ich of which will very ma
terially increase the assessment roll.
Had the paving boon carried on from
center to circumference our business
blocks would bo moro compact and t.ho
assessed valuation would have boon
raibod by several millions.
Tlio truth is there should bo no pivo-
mont laid anywhere unless ic connects
with a pavement already laid and forms
a part ot a general paving area that In
tersects from street to street and alloy
to alloy. _
SUUTHKltS IXIHJilllfAL ,
Owing to the unfavorable industrial
nnd social conditions which have often
been pointed out , the development of
the bouth is much loss rapid than that
of the west , but in recent years there
have boon signs of renewed life and energy -
orgy in tlio southern states that must bo
hailed with satisfaction by all patriotic
Americans.
In fruit , cotton , sugar , rice and lum
bar the south Is now more productive
than over before. Over 33,000,000 worth
of fruit nnd vo atiblos nro shlppad an
nually to the north from Norfolk nlono.
Florida furnishes the country from
; } ,000,000 to , : ) ( ) , ( ) boxes of oranges
every yo'tr and Georgia ships over
10,000 carloads of watermelons every
soafcon. In the aggregate it is claimed
that the southern shipments of early
fruits and vegetables north and wc.st
amount to nearly $50,000.000 a year.
Ten years nsro this business was of only
trilling importance. The south an
nually produces nbDUl 451 , 000,000 pounds
of sugar. MO.000,000 pounds of rice and
many million pounds of tobacco , and its
lumber product is ost'mated at $400,000.-
000 , or as mush as the value of the cot
ton crop. The aggregate production of
wheat , corn nnd oats in tlio south in
1891 was 072,459,00 ! ) bushels , a gain of
00 per cent in ton years , while the gain
in the rest ot the country win 72 per
cent in the same period. In 18S1 the
cotton crop was 5,450,000 bales ; in 1891
it was 9,000,000 bales. On the basis ot '
the prices which prevailed in 1831 It Is
computed that the smith's agricultural
products in 18)1 would have boon worth
about $500.000,000 moro than the total
of 1SS1 : but oven with tlio goit : decline
in prices tlio difference was about $200- ,
000,000.
Tlio value of exports from southern
ports in 1R31 was S2j7,555,4ll ; ) , nnd in
1891 It showed an increase of $92,200,598.
The south has 010 national banks with
capital nggrogatins SOD/JIS Oj , the
number of b.-inki and the amount ot cap
ital having moro th-an doubled in ton
years. An illustration of tlio growth in
manufactures in afforded by the fact that
the increase in capital in vested in min-
ufacturing in 18DO over 1880 was moro
than the total amount invested in 1870.
When it is considered that the
south lost billions of dollars by the war
nnd was loft in a condition by no moans
favorable to industrial pi-ogress the
showing now made is romntknuly good.
The southern states have only to solve
certain familiar problems relating to
their social life and to rocognlzo tlio
dignity of honest labor in ardor to inau
gurate an era of great prosperity. The
fact that they nro doing well even under
disadvantages which oxiat nowhere else
shows that they are sharing In the general -
oral prosperity of the country and
prolitlng by the wholesome commercial
and financial policy under which the
whole country Is now moving forward
with strides never baforo equalled in its
history. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The object of electing councllninn-at-
largo was to secure u hlghor "grade of
membership than can be had by ward
selection and especially to secure men
who would represent the whole olty
rather than a particular section or dis
trict. It seems , however , that our coun-
cllrnon-at-large lose sight of their own
function. They Ignore the fact that
they are chosen by the whole olty for
the whole city and almost a' ways not us

No bureau or office of the government
has boon m magod with qreitar ability
nnd ollluioncy under the present ad
ministration than the general land of-
lico. Tlio llrst e&Iimlssibnor appointed
by President Harrison was Judge Grolt
of Nebraska. who'SAado n most excellent
record during thOjtimo ho rein lined in
the olllco. He fojind the business far In
arrears and In irtlt&h & confusion , and the
first task was to oStabllSh Some system
and method by which the vork i-oiild bo
carried on in a propar way. This ac
complished , the next duty was to nviko
an ollort to dispose of the business that
had got bohlnd under the previous ad
ministration and nt the same time prevent -
vent new business from accumulating.
It was an herculean labor , but Conimls-
missioner GrolT had made cood-progrosa '
when personal roisons compelled him
to resign. lie had put the olllco In bettor
working condition than It had uoforo
been In for years nnd left It so that his
successor could roadllv take up the task
nnd carry it to a successful consumma
tion.
Prosdont Harrison was fortunate In
appointing Hon. .Thomas Carter as
commissioner of the general land ollico ,
for no man could have shown greater
nptitudo for Its duties or a higher order
of ellloioncy in their performance. The
excellent work Inaugurated by his pre
decessor was carried out with the result
that the accumulated business ofyoars
has been disposed of and the olllco is
now keeping up with current work. The
annual report of the commissioner , re
cently submitted to the secretary of the
interior , diseussos the policy which con
trolled tlio management of the general
land olllco under the Cleveland admin
istration and points out its detrimental
effects upon the interests of honest
settlers and upon those of the govern
ment. Injustice , or a denial of justice ,
says the commissioner , under the ma
chinery of the law , was its dominant
feature.
The settler who had honestly nnd la
boriously , und at much hn/.ard and
heavy expense , complied in good faith
with the requirements of the law , out
raged and indignant nt the multiplied
injuries inflicted on him by maladminis
tration , demanded a patent , a title to
the land ho had by settlement , cultiva
tion and compliance with that law fully
earned. Thus by rqason of nn erroneous
and mistaken policy the legitimate
channels of business in the olllco had
become clogirod aAd a vast amDunt of
work h id accumulated. U.ndor the
judicious change on policy no such dilll-
culty now exists , 'f '
The aim of the present administration
has been to do exact justice to the set
tler and at the sumo time fully protect
the interests of tno government , and
this has , boon done. No honest settler
has suffered nuj Jrirdship and there
has boon no complaint that the rights of
the government li'avo not boon care
fully guarded. . TJiO record uiado-by the
general land oflh-OJ under thlir'ndininls- '
tration is , in ho highest degree creditable -
able and presents a strong contrast to
the management of'thls branch of the
public service under tlio last democratic
administration.
TltK H.lllK. Of T1IK "ll'ATOJWOa. "
Representative Holman , chairman of
the house committee on appropriations ,
among whoso titles Is thvt of "Watch
dog" of the treasury , has given the pub
lic a comparative statement of appro
priations nt the first session of the pres
ent congress and the second session of
the Fifty-first congress intended to
discredit the statement made by Sena
tor Allison and to show that the Fifty-
second congress .was moro economical
than Its predecessor ; It will bo remain-
bored that on the last day of the session
Senator Allison stated in a general way
that the present congress had appropri
ated 811,000,000 moro than was appro
priated at the first session of the last
congress. Son itor Gorman of Maryland ,
who will bo accepted ns good democratic
authority , vouched for the accuracy nnd
fairness of the Iowa senator's statement.
Ho said the figures of Mr. Allison could
not bo questioned , and by vay of defend
ing the appropriations ho said the im-
tiionso sum they represented had in part
bji.'omo necessary by reason of the
growth of the country.
As between the testimony ot Senator
Gorman and Congressman Holman no
body who Knows anything nb'iut ' the
two men will hcsft'ito n moment which
to nccnpt. The cheese-paring represent
ative from Indiana destroys any value
which his statement might have by
making a comparison between the np-
proprlntions of the first session of the pres
ent congress and the second session ot
the last , which is manifestly unfair. But
oven with this ho m ikes out a reduction
of only $3'J,003OOJ , which is about one-
third of what tlio democrats proposed to
save when the session began. In ordjr
to swell the applicant savlnir , Mr. Hot
mail says the am'6unt appropriated for
rivers and harbors ought to IJD deducted ,
the unfairness ofnYhloh will bo apparent
when it is romonibarod that the last
congress passed'a , liberal appropriation
bill for rlvors and harbors at Its first
sosslon , nnd It ha'f ' lbocoino the practice
-appropriate for tills purpose only once
in two years. ' < * ' ' *
Mr. Holman la.fuank enough to admit
that''the results .ot the present session
of congress wllljjM fully moot the ex
pectations of tho" democratic party , "
and ho trios to jtaloglza for them by
placing the rojpaoslblllty upon the log-
Ihlatlon of the pr ib'odlng congress. The
truth is that thoro'is nolthor candor nor
fairness in the stataunnt of Holmun ,
who evidently fait that ho must make
the host showing ho could In order to
save himself from being utterly dls-
orodltod'by his party , a very small fac
tion ot which , there Is reason to bullove ,
has any conlldoncp in'lilm. His cheese
paring efforts to economize hava boon a
signal failure , and for , tlio reason stated
by Senator Gorman , that "tho growth
of the country , tlio extension of out-
postal system , the extension of our pen
sion system , and other permanent and
necessary appropriations , " will not ad
mit of reduction. Mr. Holman's at
tempt to deceive the people will bo us
futile as were his efforts at economy.
The undeniable- fact Is that the sum of
the appropriations at the first so sloil of
the Fifty-second congros * is larger by
over 310,000,000 than the appropriations
nt the first cession of the Fifty-first con
gress , and any other comparison is
essentially unfair.
WE PAY moro for school house janitors
than nny Other city In the country In
proportion to the school attendance , and
wo ought lo , therefore , have the very
host service. The janitors should not
only bo competent to keep the school
buildings clean , but they ought to bo
required , whore llielr pay warrants it ,
to make the ordinary repairs and
take cat o of the grounds. Most of the
school sites nro in a dilapidated condi
tion. With the lavish expenditure
which the school board makes for jani
tor service there is no excuse for such a
state of affairs , unless , indeed , as is gen
erally admitted to bo true , the janitors
run the school board nnd dictate their
own terms to their political creatures.

growers of Nebraska that Walter Max

Ho says that the boots are growing and

OMAHA , Aug. 10. To the ICditor of Tin :
BKB ; I see by today's papers that a ques
tion at to my eligibility to bold iho ofllco of
lieutenant governor has arisen. In view of
this fool I tnaUo the following statement :
Oa the 4th day of March , 1370 , at Uuflalo ,
N. Y. , I fllod my first papers or ' 'doolara-
tlon of intentions. " About two years Inter
I went lo Uttffalo 10 fllo my linal papers but
could not do no , ns the time required bv law
bad not qultooxplrou. In the fall of iS3l I
moved to this Mate , and the tact that I could
vote on my "first papers" led tno ,
ns It has thousands of oihon , to
neglect taking out llnnl papers. When
the conlosl as lo the citizenship of CJovcrnor
Uojtl arnso I recalled my own noglcot
and as soon as It was convenient I tiled my
papers nnd completed mv cltumulip. This
1 did on the 3Ui day of February , 1SSI1. 1 tvas
under the impression thnt Iho terms o ! citi
zenship were in the form of a contract nnd
that when Iho tlnal papers were Died citizen
ship dated back to iho tiling of the ' 'Declara
tion of Intention. "
Those are the plain facts In the case , and
If they constitute inoligiblllty thrn It is the
duty of the slate central committee lo nt
once substitute another name for mine for
Ibo ofllcc of llonuuimit governor.
1 love this land of my adoption. Her Stars
and Stripes are moro lo mo than toneuo or
pen can utter , nnd I would rather know I
have been a cltlzon of this country for
eighteen months than to bo lieutenant gov
ernor without such cltlzonshln.
I am a republican. I believe In republican
principles. I am proud of thn glorious
achievements the parly has wrought , nnd ,
thougb my name bo taken from the ticket ,
my ardor will not bo dampened nor my zeal
lessened in the coming campaign. In ofllco
or out of ofllco. In storm or sunshine , I am al
ways n republican. J. ( J. TATS.

the sentiments mm wishes of republicanism
in the state.
Lincoln Journal : Judge Lorenzo Crounso
was n gallant soldier , a noiablo member of
the bar , an upright Jurist and an efficient and
incorruptible federal oftlcer. It would bo
ditllcult to Hud better gubernatorial Umber
In uny part of tbo stale and impossible to

Nebraska City Proas : Nebraska republi
cans worn never In n hotter condition to win

ticket , which the most scrupulous can sup
port , und above all , they huvo the insplrnil-m
of a great national party and Its principles nt
their back. They will thus have every In
centive to work , and work hard , with a good
prospect of victory.
Beatrice Express : The old soldier * of
Nebraska , and there are n good ninny of
thorn yet , are enthusiastic for Harrison ,
Hold and Crounso. They will east a big olio
of votoa for all throo. The democratic prois
can find or Invent nothing derogatory of
Lorenzo Crounso. Ills record la above re
proach. Ho Is nnan uf admitted ability and
slorllng iuallllos. ] The light against him
must bo mauo wholly upon party Issues , and
ho can't bo boat upon them. His election Is
therefore assured.
Nlobrara Piuaeor : The Plonoor has rea
son to rejoice over tbo nomination of Judge
Crounso for governor on tbo republican
llckot. Ho is the only available man who
can stem the current wltu Vun WycK. His
charauler Is iruo , his record is clean , hi * ox-
ooutlvo abililv perfect and his conservative
judgment ono that establishes confidence.
Having always boon on the side of tbo people
ple ho will not only win to him tbo business
interests of Nebraska , regardless of party ,
but also the conservative mid thoughtful
farmers who have gone Into the Independent
camp.
Lincoln News : The republican tlcitot is
growing stronger ovcry day. The man who
carefully compnros its personnel with that of
the only opposition ticket In tbo fluid will
not hesitate to cast his vote for the ono
headed by Lorenzo Croun-so. Xlio record of
the ropuolican nominee for governor is ab
solutely unassailable from every side. Ho
has boon a man of the people , who 1ms ever
labored for the people. In public and private
lifo his career has boon blameless nnd with
out stain , and the only charge that , can bo
brought against him by oven his most bitter
polilical opponents is that ho is iho champion
of n party thnt stands for American labor
nnd an honest curronny.
Beatrice Times : If there was any question
as to the resultof the November election in
this state , that question has been settled by
tbo wise and conservative action of the re
publican state convention in selecting Hon.
Lorenzo Crounso ns the standard-bearer of
the party. Mr. Crounso bos 'lived in Ne
braska from Iho early territorial aavs. His
first position was district Jndgo , which ho
lllled with such marked distinction that ho
xvas nominated aad elected to congress
Judge Crounso was ono of the first men in
the party to move against railroad domina
tion , mm among the moro important measures
passed by him
ihrough congress was n
pro rate bill. This advanced step In the in
terests of tbo people brought a light upon
bun from the corporallons. and ho retired
from political life to the practice of his pro
fession , in which ho has been eminently suc-
cossful. With such n man as Judge Crounso
at the head of the republican ticket there can

The report which Statistician Dudge made
public nt4 o'clock this uftornoon does not at
tempt to answer the unodlelnl predictions of
n shortage. It proceeds , however , on Iho
basts that there is now nothing unnsunl to bo
upproliondod. It says that the returns re
lating to sprint : wheat show n slight fulling
off in some localities whllo In South D.tkoln
nnd Nubraslca Ihero hits boon n slight ad-
vnnco. In Iho mountain slnlos the conditions
nro generally biuli. Tlio recent hont Is re-
porlod to huvo caused a decline In Washing
ton and Oregon. As n whole the report lu no
way boursout the uuolllcinl prodictlons of n
shortage.
Statistician Dodge was asked tonight what
ho thought jf the prophoelos of thortago re-
conllv mudo. "I pay little nltontlon lo
them , " said ho , "for they como regularly
every year and provo to bo wholly without
foundalion. I have hoard considerable com-
innut on Ihls recent prophecy , nud I Ihluk I
know the source from which Itomanalos. '
"It belongs lo n side of Iho grain market
whicn would reap considerable bonelll by a
shortage. The gonlloman from whom 1
think this line of prophecy originated caino
to mo n year ago with the snmo foreboding.
IIo said wo were going to have u great shortage -
ago , and ho intended to hold
liU wheat for the lnro ad
vance which would occur. I think ho
a3tod on this basis nnd found later in the
season when the crop was unusually largo
that ho had mndo a serious mistalco. There
Is ronlly nothing of an unusual character In
the condition of tbo crops of this country.
It is probubto that the yield will not bo np
to the great yield of la'it year , but the full I tic
oil does not warrant any alarm or direful'
prophecy. "
