THE JVKXr llOt'SK ,
The indications thnt the republicans
will obtain control of the house of ropro-
Bonttillvcdof the Flltythird congroes nro
avorablc. Hon. Edward McPhor on ,
chairman of the republican congres
sional committee , oxprossffs confldonco
hat the democrats will not have a ma-
ority in the next congress , and the
committee is doing vigorous and
olToctlvo wont to bring about this re-
fuilt. The committee , it is said , wits
lover tnoro thoroughly organized than
now , and under the nblonnd experienced
direction of Mr. Mcl'horson the congres
sional campaign is being conducted judi
ciously and un winning lines.
There is strong probability that the
republicans will break into the demo
cratic ropiesontatton from the south ,
and viuoroua work is being done in
) ortlons of that bcction. There are but
'our republican representatives from the
south in the present house , ngainst
seventeen in the preceding congress ,
and It Is bollovod that the party will bo
able to at least regain what was lost two
years ago , while there is a chance , in
, Uo opinion of the chairman of the con-
gres-Jonal committee , of electing
.wonty-thrco republican representatives
'rom the oouth. Such a gain would beef
of greater significance th'in an equal
number of districts restored to the re
publicans in the north. Thcro is every
reason to expect gains of republican
roprcbontatlvos in all the northern
stales where the democrats and the alli
ance captured republican dibtricts two
years ago , but in order to appreciate the
magnitude of the task of redeeming the
lower branch of congress ftom demo
cratic control it should bo understood
that the republican roprcsontalion of
170 in the Fifty-lirstc < ingro = sdcclinnd to
50 in the present congress , a loss of UO 77
In the northern slates and II ! in the
southern. The next house of represent
atives will consist of ! lei ( UK-inborn , 17 ! )
being .1 majority , BO that the republicans
must win at the coming election 03 seats
in addition to the number they now
hold in ordbi * to enable thum to control
the huiiso of rcprcscntallvesof the tfifty-
third congress. It will therefore bo
hccn that there is need of active and
vigorous effort by the republican cnn-
grcuflonal committee and by republicans
goncrallY if thohotit.eof representatives
is to bo t-ikon out of democratic hands.
In view of the fact that the oiitlooic
for the ro-olcction of President Harri
son is so favorable as to warrant a
btrong feeling of conlidcnco among republican -
publican * , it 13 presumed that every rc-
puhlii'ait appreciates the importance of
having the congress in political bin-
mony with the executive. Without thit >
it is impossible to carry out the policy
of the parly , and bunco it is not less im-
port'int to cilcot a republican house of
representatives than it is to elect a re
publican president. Ijoth are necessary
to maintain and extend the principles
and policies put into olTect by the hist
republican congress and which have
confessedly eontributctl enormously to
the commercial aim industrial progress
unit prosperity of the country.Vilh a
republican congress and president
elected in November there is every rea
son to boiiovo that the next four years
will be a period of unexampled advance
ment for the United States.

It appeals by otlieial reports that last
year's crop of corn averaged Ii7 busliels
to the aero for the area harvested , or
about the Riimo as in 188' ) , the production
being 2,000,000,000 bushels as compared
with 15,1 Kl,000,000 bushels for the pre
vious year. It is well Unowp that between
these two largo crops was one that was
under the average , aggregating nbnui
1,490,000,000 bushels. For a period of five
years past , ending with the crops of las !
year , the annual average was 1,820,000.-
000 bubhcls.
Tno indications for the present yoai
are bomowhat loss favorable than those
of labt year , but tho\ show that the
average corn crop is largo. It is cstl
mated that the area of corn planted ii
Ohio is reduced r.bout 10 per cent frorr
last yo.ir. Reports from various portions
tions of the stale indie ito that the pro
duction will bo about 70,000,000 bushels ,
a dccrensc of 19,000,000 bushels from lasl
you1. The yearly average of that state
for ton years ending last year was S3 , '
000,000.
In Indiana the area of eorn planted
this year is reduced about 10 per cent
The estimated production is 80.000,001
burthols , or .Ja,0)0,000 ( ) loss than ! asi
year. The average of the stutp foi
the pa t ton ytmrs ha ? been 107,000,00 (
bushels. The sanib percentage of ro
dilution in area holds good in Illinois
the estimated production being 153 , '
000,000 bushels against i > 35,000,00l
bushels last year , ana an average o
221,000,000 bushels for the last tor
years. This is a great falling
off , but ills accounted for in somu
measure by tho- fact that wheat nnil
other cereals have , to some extent ,
taken the place of corn in that stale
In Iowa the area has boon reduced 1 !
per cent , and the crop promibcb to be
about 2 0.000,000 bushels. Last yo.tr't .
crop was iir ) 1.000,001) ) bushels , and UK
average for the past ton years was 243 , '
000,000 uuhols. The spring Hood :
seriously nll'uctod the corn prouuui
of Iowa , A reduction of 14 per cent in
area is also reported from Missouri , an.
the crop of that state is estimated ni
150,000,000 biibhols. List year's yield
in UmtHtato was 150,000,000bushels , ant
the average fur ton years past has boui
more than : tO,000,000 bushels ubuvo till :
year's yiiud.
It appears that the acreage in Kansas
is nearly if not quite equal to that o
last year , but the condition of the cro (
is irregular. The indicated production
is 133OOtUOO ) bushels. Lristyoar'n iifO'
tluctkm ir. that btato wits 142,000,001
bushels and the average for ton yoari
has been 141,000,000 bushels. The fall
ing off in the corn production is duo tc
a great degree to the cultivation ol
other crops.
In Nebraska the corn crop of this yeai
exceeds the average , and this is tin
only state of which this can bo said
Notwithstanding a binall decrease ii
area thy production promises to b <
about 120,000,000 huehola. Last yonr i
was 107,000,000 bushels and the averngi
for ton years past has boon 116,000,00
bushels. It IB to bo remembered Uta
lust your' * crop wuu phenomenal. Tin
not thrvt the torn yield of this state Is
5,000,000 bushels above the avorngo for
, on years past is extremely gratifying
and proves that Nebraska loads the
vorld In corn production.
The seven western states mentioned
are about 11 per cent short of last yenr
n corn nrox ; and the decrease In pro-
luclion Is placed at 381,000,000 bushels.
Abc/ul / the satho rate of docrcaso seems
.o hold good in all of the western states.
The total crop of corn promises to bo
1,010,000,000 bushels ngainst 2,000,000-
)0 ) ( ) bushels last yonr. showing a ilncroaso
of about 22 per cor.t In our corn produc
tion this yonr.
Favorable weather has prevailed this
fall throughout the corn belt and the
crop is now out of dnngor even in local-
tics where it was thought a few weolcs
igo that It could not rlpnn. The No-
Jrnslcu crop is in fine condition , and
although it does not equal the yield of
ast year in quantity it is of Iho best
quality. It is probable that prices will
ango somewhat lower than they did
ast year , owing to b6ttor crops In
i'jtiropc , but the corn yield will certainly

The financial condition of the country
is moro surely indicated by the record
of business failures than by any other
means. During the past niuo months
t-ho business failures reported in the
United states , of a mercantile or indus
trial character , have aggregated 7,378.
As compared with the corresponding
period in 1891 the duoreaso in the total
number of business failures , Is 1,628. In
order to fully appreciate the force and
significance of these llguros it is neces
sary to bear In mind the fact that the
total number of commercial enterprises
in the Unltod States is much larger now
than it was last year , and that tiio num
ber of failures would therefore bo
gi eater if the same proportion wore
maintained. A reduction of 1,528 in the
total number mint bo accepted as con
clusive proof that the business interests
of the country are more prosperous than
heretofore.
Hut , this Is not all. Not only are the
business failures decreasing in number ,
but they arc far less disastrous to cred
itors th'in they have been in past yoars.
For the past nirio'inonths the aggregate
of liabilities has bnen * 70)7I,000 ! ) , a
dueronsi ) of at least $01,900,000 , as com
pared with IS'.ll ' , and of 815,500,000 as
compared with 1S90. The aggregate
debts of these who have failed bineo the
1st , of January this year are nearly one-
half smaller than tbo debts of those who
failed last year. The avorngo of assets
remains the paine as in the past , or
about " > ! per cent of the total indebted
ness.

These figures afford abundant proof

The original compact between tliocit.v
of Omahaaiid the Union Pacific Railroad
company , when Iho latter received the
valuable piece of land for H depot sito.
contained the stipulation that the com
pany should allow other railroads the
use of the bridge and terminal facilities
in Omaha at ti fair and reasonable eonv
ponsation. In any arrangement now
made looking to the completion of the
depot that original stipulation should
be retained as ossontlal to the protection
of the city , with the further understand-
inir that the compensation to bo charged
shall not bo based on a fictitious capital
ization of the proposed union depot and
depot grounds.
The city cannot afford to take any
chances upon possible competition to
regulate this matter. Absolute security
against the defeat of the purpose of se
curing the entrance of all railroads intc
Omaha will bo had only by an ironclaii
agreement which will compel the dope
company to deal fairly with other rail
roads in charging for terminal facilities.
If the company is permitted to base it.
charge on a capitalization three times
greater than the value of its property ,
and it is possible that it may not be over
so moderate as this , other roads will nol
use the bridge and depot and the bono'
Ills to thecltvoxjiocted from the complo
lion of the union depot will not bo real
ized.
It is manifestly a paramount duty o
the city to protect itself in this partluu-
lur , and It can do so by insisting upon
the retention of the original stipulation
regarding reasonable charges , with i
proper Rafogutrd against fictitious cap
italization as a basis of charges. If UK
depot company moans to do what is fall
it can make no valid objection to this
which is not in the nature of a concession
but simply the observance of an agree
ment ( loomed to be mutually satisfactory
when made , and which is no loss nccos
sitry now to the interests of Omaha.

the facts prosoutod by the treasury ro-

uoro moiuiy than it is called upon to
iay out , and so long as this is the case
the treasury will not become insolvent
lor fail to moot its obligations. More
over the excess of receipts is from
sources which show the general pros-
icrity of the country.
The democratic attempt to alarm the

of the ifattonal treasury was imminent ,
'ailed , just as sill its other efforts to excite -

Secretary Foster of the Treasury depart
ment was asked today u hat ho thbuuht of
the announcement that Wavno MacVeagli
was going Into the democratic pally. The
secretary smiled as ho ri'llccted : "An old
farmer friend , a good many years ago , called
my munition to the fact "that the ground
squirrel never climbed n tree very high. I
have noticed ever since that when a ground
squirrel guts about ton or twelve feet high
ho stops. Ho never gets up Into the bmiphs
of the tree. It reminds mo ot MaoVeagh. "
Republicans \Vashlngton are congratu
lating themselves that MacVeagli has gone
where ho has for years belonged , and they
are much obliged to him for his letter ,
which exposes homo of the underlying Prin
ciples and Intentions of the democrats. They
are gratllied to see him rotor to the "un-
reasonable system of protection , " and to
know that ho stands where Mr. Cleveland
does for a single cold standard of monoy.
Ho refers to the "disastrous course of the
republican party on the silver question , "
meaning the republican act of 1SUO , douollng
the purchase of sliver and requiring the
building of moro warehouses in which to
store trio useless metal.
Other Fc'Utcircs of tlio l.nttor.
Republicans \voro made a little angrv bv
reading in tbo letter that "a currency based
on silvor" Is "lluctiinting" and "therefore
dishonest. " They also voad that not till re
publican institutions are destroyed would
there bo "prospects of our enjoying the
single and stable standard of value which
other civHi/.od and commercial nations pos
sess. "
The vntcran soldiers are Indignant at the
slurs which MacVcagh casts upon thorn in
denouncing the pension law.s and expressing
the democratic position upon pensions by
saylnc that the republican "abuses of the
pension system stagger belief as there is
neither reason nor lustico In lecislation
which destroys all distinctions between loyul
service and desertion of the colors , between
wounds received in battle and diseases con-
trnctod In the pursuits ot peace. "
This cruel fling Is Intended for the act of
the last republican congress which keeps the
old veterans out of the poor houses.
