Some people tnko great pricio in being
endowed by nature with good hindsight.
It Is passing strange , however , that this
community rofuios to bank on the fore
sight of the M'orM-7/cniW. It opposed
the union depot proposition as vigor
ously us Is possible for a paper thti
lights with Quaker guns and the propo
sition curried by about ton to ono. Sub
sequent events have not dlscredltod'tho

union depot as originally designed , and
mudo tluit depot and the llniou Pacific
brldgo accessible to ail tlio roads nt

As It is , wo are n'i worse oil than wo

It is true \\rorlil-1cnM did not
give its support to the Nebraska Central
outorprKu. But in spite of its straddle
and cold w.itor treatment , and lu spite
of the organized opposition of competing
railway interests , the proposition re
ceived the support of nearly three-
fourths of the voters , " which goes to
show that the World-IlcrnM in this com
munity occupies very much the same
position as the fly does on tlio revolving
wheel. Subsequent events do not ns yet.
justify ihu conclusion that the people
who fa voted the project-have blundered.
Quito lo tlio contrary , if the Nebraska
Ccntr.il subsidy hud been voteu. down the
Interstate Uridgo company would have
boon content with building a $300,000 or
$100,000 bridge at Hast Omaha. Now it
iroposes to duplicate the terminal fucili-
Jes of the Nebraska Central , build largo
reight and passenger depots and n line
; o South Omaha at an expense of ever
85,000COO. If it carries out this project
md drives the Nebraska Central out of
the field the people who voted the bonds
liuvo. conferred a great bonolit on
Omaha If , on the other bund , the Ne
braska Central carries out its original
program and Omuha shall got two now
bridges , two now depots , two now lines
to South Omaha and a road throjgh
Iowa accessible on reasonable terms to
the luif-do/on railroads that are point
ing toward Omaha , wo shall more than
ijot our money back in the increased
trallleunu mitchless transfer facilities.
Tin : Buc bvs no disposition to dis
credit the interstate bridge enterprise ,
nor does it underrate its value to the
future growth of Omuha. The only
point wo make is that the sudden
activity of its promoters , in spite ol
Union Pacific opposition , tends to create
the impression that it is a move designed
to block the Nebraska Central in its
effort to uiiso foreign capital. The
tremoudous display of studhorse typo bj
\\oild-llerald \ \ , coupled with its an
nouncement that the Nebraska Central
is choked to death by the now bchotno.
has fortified the popular belief that the
great funfarado about the now inter
state transfer is designed for oustorr
consumption.

The fact that the capacity of th
Omaha button factory ha" boon doublci
within the past sixty'days indicates thn
this young industry is prospering , I
also presents an important suggobtioi
that is worthy of attention. If the man
jfacturo of pearl buttons can bo profit
ably curried on hero it is reasonable t
suppose that manufacturing in scores c
other lines would pay equally well i
this city. Tlio button makers procur
their nmtoriula in dUlaut lands. Bu
for the accident that man ucqualnto
with the art of button making cuuie t
Omaha to souk their fortunes in otho
lines of employment that industry woul
have been among the very lust to ivhlol
attention would have been directed in
city situated thousands of miles froi
the sources of luatoriul supply. Itigli
hero hi the center of the American cor
tlnont pearl buttons are manufacture
from materials brought from Singapore
nnd it nppoara that the business is thriv
; ing. Any article of commerce that ca
bo manufucturi'd olsowhuro can bo ore
, ducod hero if enterprise and capital ar
I enlisted for the purpose. An Imiaona
territory that can be counted upon as th
na ural market of Omuha Invites mo
of energy to engage in manufacturin

I uno that must always bo lu demand a
over the great region In which our Job
bing houses nro carrying on a prosper
ous business can bo produced as profita
bly in Omaha ns nnywhoro clso.
This IB an old theme , but It does not
lose its interest. The Idea that this is
a good point for manufacturing never
ias boon exploded by lalltiro. There
B nothing theoretical or oxporl-
nontal about it. Capnblo men who
lave embarked in manufacturing ontor-
irises in this city and elsewhere In this
late have not retired from the field In
disappointment and discomfiture. It la
a practical field that constantly invites
ondoavor. If one-tenth of the money
.hat . is tociay lying idle In the city of
3maha wove wisely invested in manu-
acturltig plants this would soon bo a
community of wage earners , and upon
.ho . wage earning class every city must
depend in great measure for its growth
n population , wealth and prosperity.
3vory time a card bearing the words
'To Rent" is nailed upon a coltago door
anil there arc. too many of them in
Jmsiha today a fresh argument in
lohalf of manufacturing enterprises Is
brought to public view. The subject

Hon. Charles S. Falrshild , who was
ocrolary of thu treasury in tlio admin-
stration of Mr. Cleveland and is an ar-
lent supporter of the ox-prosldont , un
qualifiedly approves the demand of the
lemocrutlc national platform for the re-
> eal of the tax on state bank issues. IIo
argues that our citizens are quite capa-
) le of devising and founding banks in
the various states and localities which
can moot the needs of their people in a
nannor Doth safe and clastic , and ox-
ircsses the opinion that no ono need
mvo the least fear of wildcat money
from that source.
As Mr. Fall-child stands very high in
dcmocrnticoplnion as a financial author-
ty and is also very close to Mr. Clove-
and , his approval of the democratic
> roposal to restore slate bank currency
lobscssos tnoro importance than that of
my other democratic leader who has
ventured to indorse the demand of the
nitiimal platform for a return to the old
orm of currency. It 18 fair to assume
that the ox-soi-rotary of the treasury did
lot publicly declare his views upon this
natter without h-ivlng previously talked
lie subject ever < vlth the candidate ol
ii * party for the presidency , because , as
i figure of semi nroininonco In the ca m-
Kilgn , ho would desire to say nothing in
onlHct with the views of the candidate.
This leads to the conclusion that Mr.
CleVeland is not opposed to a rcstora-
ion of the sVxto bank currency.
The assurance given by Mr. Fairchild
that there need bo no fear of wildcat
nonov if the states are allowed to issue
currency is not likely to bo widely ac
cepted with confidence by people who
are familial with the currency of ante
bellum days , either from personal ex
perience or a study of the financial his
tory of that period. It 1& true Umt the
later cxpcrinuco of the people with n
sound currency everywhere of equa' '
value would cause Ihn'in tci bo very euro
'ul regarding the money received , bill
the great majority of the people caunol
readily protect themselves against fraut
in this direction , mid these who wouli
sullor are the people \\hi can leasl
allord it the small producers and the
wage earners. At first stuto banks
would bo organized with stibstniuia !
security for their issues , but this care
would gradually wear away and in a fov
yoats the country would bo Hooded with
liupur cununcy everywhere nt a dis
count , with numerous counterfeits , ant
there would bo a complete restorntioi
of the old pystom. The demooratii
policy in this regard is clnarly indefensible
fonsiblo and has b en justly character
ized ns the worst manifestation of finnn
ciai unsoundncss which has omunutei
ftom that party.
TUB SUIlTllKASUtir /.I.V.
The populist party loaders are no
saying much about the subtroasury plan
but none the less it Is a cardinal princi
pie of that party the corner stone , ii
fact , of its financial policy. Its nationu
platform demands a currency to hi
issued by the general government nn <
distributed direct to the people "at i
tax not to o.xceed 2 per cent per annum
to ho provided ns faot forth in the hub
treasury plan of the fanners alliance , o
a better system. " At least two bill
woio intioduced in concress by ropre
pcntntives of the now party providini
for the establishment , of subtrcasuric
in accordance with this plan , and th
populibt ciindidnto for president is on
of the most earnest advocates of it. Th
moiisurcs before congress propose to up
proprinto , ono $10,000,000 and the otho
$50,000,000 , to provide 'or sublrcnsurio
in all tlio counties in the United States
upon proper petition , where the cotton
wheat , corn , outs and tobacco product :
in the county for the preceding tw
yoarb exceed $500,000 or $200,000 , as prc
scribed in ouch bill respectively. It i
also provided that thoownorof product
deposited ahull rccoivo treasury note
equal iit the date of deposit to 80 pa
cent of the not market value of thos
products. Storage ouildings are to b
built by the government , which is to become
come boiling agent of the depositors.
The populist party professes to bo op
posed to all class legislation , yet th
subtreasury scheme couto'i plates th
worst form of class legislation ever prc
posed in this country. It would bo 01
Rcutinlly a vast trust in which the goi
eminent and the producers of certai
products would bo co-partners , opera
ing not for the general welfare , but fc
tbo benefit of the few nt the expense <
the many. This preposterous plan pn
poses that certain producers mny boi
row money from the government upo
their products whllo this privilege I
not accorded the producers of othc
products into which ( here hns gen
equally us much labor. The wag
earner cannot avail himself of th :
scheme. It would bo of no advantage t
the professional nan. The acrrlculluru
producer who had no surplus of cottoi
or wheat , or corn , or tobucpo , howove
needy or whatever his situation or di
munds , could derive no benefit from th
bubtreasury plan. Only those who wet
in a condition to hold their produci
could get nny advantage from th
schema , nnd these would bo enabled t
got money at 2 per cent to loan at
higher rnto toAhoao who did not Imvo ,
thus working fldUjpublo Injustice.
The popullstnpfVrty professor to bo op
posed to mon'tljie iy , but obviously the

application lAhls scheme-
would result lh , Iho greatest nnd mo t

ernment should enter into the business
of loaning motic'.y on farm products nnd

"Auuld bo compelled to abandon it and
Book othors. ' .Chare would bo no field
for private cnpltnl or possibility of com
petition with the sovereign , who would
print money without limit , declare it
legal tender , and by doing business
practically at cost monopolize the ave
nues of Irndo. Could anything worse bo
devised , granting it to bo practicable ,
tignlust the Interests and welfare of tlio
g entbodyof the people ? Admit , for
the sake of argument , that the scheme
might bo helpful to certain producers
who could avail themselves of It , but
whnt about the consumers ?
And the currency that would be
Issued to the holders of produce de
posited in the subtroasurlcs , what
would that load to ? It Is proposed tc
make It a full legal tender for all debts ,
public and private. How long would it
bo before such n currency would expel
gold and silver from circulation and be

tion of ulTulrs which could eventuate
only in gotioral ruin and disaster ?
Yet this wild , impracticable scheme ,
limn which nothing lu Iho whole history
of financial vagaries was more ridicu
lous , is a foumlumontal part of the policy
of the populist party , religiously ac
cepted by most of its uuhorents as the

AN 1XSULT TO TAXPAYERS.
The democrats of the Fourth ward
have selected a delegation favorable tc
the nomination of George Whitlock as
councilman. The candidacy of Whit-
lock is a br.i7.on piece of impudence and
an insult to intelligent taxpayers.
Whitlock has" earned the execration
of all uiourogafdlpss of party. If justice
had been done him ho would have baon
indicted for criminal netrlect of duty as
building inspector in permitting the
wall of the Meyer buildingundor which
three persons vfbijfS crushed to death and
several persons crippled , to stand a wool )
after the interior "of the 'building had
boon burned out ! . " lie should have been
drummed out o ( town for his cruel per
secution of the late Meyer Ilellman. He
should bo forever-barred from any office
of profit or tcu.sjrtf.qr helping to "logroll
the Kotclmm furniture job through the
city council whilu h'o-a was an olllcor o !
the city. n '
The candidacy of Whitlock is ovl
dontly a put-up job to insure the elec
tion of the bogus watchdog ! but the citi
zensof the Fourth ward will repudiate
them both and elect bomebody who wil
protect the interests of the taxpayers.

do not see anything like enthusiasm for
Cleveland or any indication of trend toward

The Hub is nt u loss to understand bow
nny politician or candidate ot the alliance-

of any intelligent person or nudlenco that
Nebraska Is becoming poorer mortf-agoa
and debts increasing and lanns slipping
away from tbo holders. Such un ono is cor-
tniulv a very peculiar sou ol person. .Ne
braska bus had her share of hard times and
depression , alone with other sections of the
country , but the rebound has commenced ,
debt-paying is the order of the day , values
are touding upwards , and nearly every
citizen is better situated and bus a bottot
outlook than lie had ono nnd two years ugo ,

The simultaneous announcement of active
work upon the important Inun-ovoments in
the postal service issignificantand furnishes
additional evidence of the energy and busi
ness ability with whicn l'o > tniasior Genor.il
Wnnamakor has sought to Increase the use
fulness of the department under his charge.
The now return postal cards ure to bo ready
lor the public by the middle of this month ;
and there Is every reason to bellova that
they will bo found u great convenience ! oy
the ouslness interests of the country. The
now cards consist of u double sticut , folded
and creased on a line , so that the reply card
is sent , with the orlgnal communication , to
bo torn off and returned Thus the sender
can provldo for a prepaid answer.
Though tlie device Is wholly now to this
country , It has been in successful operation
In Europe for a considerable time. There is
no reason why It should not urovo nt least
equally useful horo. AS to the pneumatic

devoted much thought , the examining com-
mlttco has made a preliminary report , recom

may bo had and such moelilications made as
may bo found necessary for Ha general adop

As the debate proceeds It becomes more and

In the elobalo at H.istlngd Mr. Andrews
clearly outgeneraled the wily old demagogue ,
