THE most rigid investigation should follow the terrible railroad disaster at Alda , Nob. It appears that either the freight crow blundered or some outside party is to bhuno. It was a most luinont- ublo event nnd the responsibility should bo located by the authorities. TUB Chicago Evcmwj Post presents a picture ot Myron W. Reed of Denver with the information that ho has just been elected to congross. The Z'o.s ( is out of date. Rood was nominated , but declined two months ago and Lafo Ponce was nominated in his place and oloctod. A ( JKKAT sensation was caused in Chi- cngo by a report that an nldorman had resigned. Chicago aldermen have sui cided , have boon jailed , defeated and assaulted , but the records of the city do not reveal that any of them ever re signed. Of course , it was soon found to bo n falto. IN ANY compromise that mny bo ronchod butweon the city and the Union Depot company the council la bound to protect the interests of Onmlm. The people will not submit to u surrender of contract provisions which nmUo it pos- nlblo for other roads to outer the union depot on reasonable terms. Tun great prairie fires by which the farmers iu tlio Etkhorn valley lost thousands of tons of liny ana much other property are to bu deeply de plored. It is hard luck for n farmer to lese tlio profits of a year's work in this manner , nnd public sympathy will bo extended to the unlortunnto sufferers. The utmost care should ho taken to pre vent the starting of such dnngorous con- llugralions. THK letter of General Field to Coil' oral Wonvor plainly reveals that the populist candidate for vice president sympathized with the domouratio part ) throughout , and it ia probible th'U when ho saw that his election was im possible ho quietly advised southon populists to vote for Cleveland and Stuvcneon.

The consideration which Secretary Husk glvos tn his nnnunl report to the production nnd prices of coroul'i , and Iho nuggcslionn ho makes thorcon , nro of so judicious nnd practical a character thnt they ought to receive the careful attention of the agricultural producers" . Secretary Husk points out that the high priors lor wneat tliat prevailed last year were not justified by the wheat supply ot the world , and when Ihoy began to decline the downward move ment was nccclornlod by the outpour from gurnora which hud been stored up to await the promised rise. While this may bu familiar informallon to most farmers the practical lesson it convoys may not have miggestod itself tn. nil of thorn. It will bo remoml'ored tint the farmers last year were n/Jviscd to bold their wheat and many of thorn did so , losing money thereby. I'orliilnly the outlook for high prices scorned most favorable , but the farmer who b.isos expectation of high prices on crop re ports nnd holds hit ) grain will lose by it in nine c.i es out of ten. The error which misled our producers last year , says the secretary of tig : icul- lure , arose from u fiilluro to appreciate thochnngod conditions which now sur round the production nnd marketing of the world's wheat c.op. The commer cial supply does not dcp.'tid entirely upon Iho crop ? of a few largo countries. Tlw ramilk'iitlotH of commerce are so extended , i.nd the facilities for internal communk'aUon to improved In thu vari ous countries of Iho world thnt a do- mnnd will dr.iw a supply from bources little recognized a f'ow years since in summing up countries ( if production. India and Russia are nu\v enabled to distio.se of a largo part of tlio grain which , a few years ago , was btoro.d for years of scarcity. Another important fact is that the wheat crop of the world is continuous , being harvested in every month of the year. Notwithstanding the predictions of an almost unprece dented soirclty , the fact is that the world's , supply of wheat lust yo.ir was in proportinil to the world's demands. The following suggestion of Secretary Rusk will 'Joubtlpss cause a good deal of discussion , not only among farmers , but generally , for it interests the consumer as well as the nrodueer. Ho says : "The time lias arrived -when Iho American farmer must couao his efforts to neutral ize the low prieo of his \vhoat by pro ducing a l.irgor quan'ity. ' He is going from bad lo worse , and o'icli effort to extricate himself bv that means sinks him deeper in the uiiro of failure. 1'ho only proper course lies in it reduction of acreage and production to meet the do mnnd of domestic consumption and a normal requirement for oxpoi'tation. " Undoubtedly this plan would produce the desired result , but what inoro profit able use could the furmorb put their land to than that of raising whoatV However , it is an exceedingly Interest ing question that is raised by Secretary Rusk and should bo carefully considered by the wheat producers of the country. HA. 7'/Vtf/C ON I'KXulOXS. It is plain that the democrats are get ting ready to make an attack on pen sions. Intimations of this purpose are found in the utterances of the party or gans , which discuss the pension s-ystom as an oppressive burden upon the people and point out that , it costs this country inoro than any nation of Europe pays for inaintalniti r its standing army. The Philadelphia Jiccord Buys : "It is time that the people of the United States should seriously consider what may bo done lo clicck this frightful drain upon the public purse , which outruns all cal culations for providing needed revenue and threatens the credit of the country. The task ot reduction is a purely busi ness alTair , which must bo met in a business way by a careful purgation of the pension lists and amendment of the pension laws. " The southern demo cratic press is insistine thut there must bo n largo reduction in tlio uansion account , and , in fact , this demand comes from democrats in every section of the country. The veterans of the country may therefore bo prepared not only for the cessation of all pension legislation , but for swooping changes in the pension system whom tlio democratic parly en ters upon full control of ilia government. It will undoubtedly bo ono of the lirst nets of that parly to reduce Iho pension lists , and when this task Is liugim it is to be expected that it will bo prose cuted unsparingly. With thu southern clement of the democracy dominating legislation the men who preserved the union and their descendants can loot ; for very liltlo consideration. Deserv- intr veterans or tlio widows and orphans of Hiich will appeal In vain to a demo- crnlic congress for recognition , while many worthy persons who are now re ceiving Iho buuntyof Iho govoininont will have their little monthly allow ance , so necessary to their subsistence , cut ell. Grant thnt there is eomo warrant for the dcni mil that the pension lists shall bo purged , the danger in commuting till * task to the democratic p.irty is that it will not bo fairly nud justly per formed. No platform expressions of re gard for the union soldiers and bailers can wlpo out Iho fact thnt thcro is no sympathy with Ihom on the pirt of the element which controls the democracy nnd very liltlo in iho parly generally. It will not nllympl lo qullo destroy the pension bystom , but It Is very likely to get as rloso to thut as it will dare to , nnd in the cutting down process it is In- oviliibto that many worthy pensioners will suffor. The design of the demo cratic party in llils direction Is already being mndu known , and it la not to bu doubted thai within Iho next two yoaru it will be put into oll'oct. THK H'KST IS Iii nn article on the improvement ol transportalion facilities on Iho groal lakes the Now York Commtrciul JinUeth saya : "That ollmalle condlllons In terpose u barrier to the realization of iho ( h'O-.iu of u great water way of international commerce throu l Iho luku.H iu < ( l thu St. Lrnvroncc is no ro.isuu underestimating the Importance of what CHII nctuully bo dotu by moans uf iiuurovoment in 1 iku trans porlution to bring Iho great westen floldd of vegetable , mineral aud unimn production Into closer communication with the inurkoU of the world " It In nn less important to the west than to the cast Hint transportation fa cilities on the great water route should bo improved , for the greatest problem of Ihu lime Is lliut of cheap marketing of the products of the country. The prolits of the western farmer are de pendent in a great degree iii > on the cost of getting his produce transported to the eastern seaboard. The railroads can and do combine to keep freight rates up , but the w.itnr is free and com petition ever the great lakes can never bo suppressed. The shipping on the Inkos hits improved wonderfully during the past ton years , and the number nnd size of the shins now otigngml In the carrying tnido on those waters would sururibo tlio lnlo ; navigators of tlio pust generation. Some of the largest and finest voxels In tlio world nro tinw uly1 ing between Chicago and IhilTaio , and their number Is increasing yearly. The slow stilling vcfsoN of old limes have given place to fnsl steamships , many of which are equal to these which are engaged in the freight trallle of the sea. The tendency is toward larger ships , and for this reason the deepening of chan nels and I.arbors in so-ne places is de manded. The government can under- like no work thnt more closely con- ccrnn the interests of the pnoplo nt largo than this. For all time to eomo iho water route will bo the cheapest outlet for the products of the west , and Iho lulorcst of the western farmer in the improvement of this route will never abate. An example of the value of the water routes In keeping down transportation charges Is found in the competition bo- twcen the l-lrlo canal and lha rallroids notwcoii IjiilTalo and New York. The difference bolwcon tlio pool rales nnd the nrluul rates which have boon oharged. by the railways , which is about ! > 2 cunts a bushel , is the amount that has been saved by the canal , according to the report of the superintendent of public works. This saving , no says , has boon made upon every bushel of western , grain that wont lo Now York , whether it wont by rail or by wilier. The amount of grain received at Iho port of Now YorK by all the various transportation routes from May 1 to December 1" last year , tbo lime during which the canal was opun , was about 110S1'J.180 biinholti , by which it appears that the saving in froiglil rates on account of canal com petition was ever ? 4,000.0. : ( ) . The influence of tha lalco transporta tion route iu cheapening rates is much more important than that of the canal. Without it there would bo practically no limit lo the rates that would bo im posed upon the shippar by the railroads. The west has u di-op aud permanent in terest iu the improvement ot iransporla- tion facililios on Ihe great lakes. Tin : New York EnniiKi J'ost has an article on Iho "Unhallowed Use of the PrebS , " in which President Harrison is charged with having bribed the news papers of hs ! > party by appointing their editors lo olllco. Prosidon * . Harrison bus appointed a number of nowatvipor man to ollico , and so far as wo know tlioy have all given good satisfaction. IIo. him not , in id 3 the mist.iko thut Clovoiand made , wii3ii , iw governor of the state of New York , lie appointed Uluirlci F. Pock , the editor of a coun try nowspipar , to tlio ollico of commis sioner of labor statistics. That was not a di&uroot appointment , from : i parsonal point of view. When Mr. Cleveland became president ho appointed Mr. Pock's pirtnor in Iho newspaper busi ness to the otlice of pojlnrislor , and two or three other democratic editors in the same county were uuido postmasters by Mr. Cleveland. All over thu country the democratic edito's were appointed to ollieo by the man whom the Unnniy Post so ardently admires.Ve do not critieibO Mr. Clovoiand for this. IIo did what all prosid juts do ho recog nized Ills friends anJ gave ofliaoj to tlioso who hid baun inlluontlal In ele vating him to a place of power utid honor. Is anybody foolish enough to suppose that during the coming admin- islrallon mon will bo unpointed to oflicj who have not boon oll'cctivo Hiippoi tei\s of Iho president-elect ? Thoao mug wumps make till practical people very weary. EviDKNThY they have faith down in Georgia in the promise of the demo cratic party to repeal Iho tax on Blato bank issues , and are preparing for it. A bill has boon introduced in Iho logis- hilure lo allow Hlale banks lo Issue notes , the law to talco ollect as soon as the govornotis nolilled thai congress has ropoiilud the lax. Undoubtedly every Routhorn suilo will follow Iho ex ample ot Georgia , for it was thai sec tion which itibpirod Iho plank in Iho democratic national platform demand ing the repeal of the tax 01 stale bank notes , nnd Iho dcslro of that section will bo comp'ied with by a democratic con gress. That Mr. C ovcland would up- provo a measure repealing the tax there can bo no douol. The restoration of statj b.mk currency In Iho near fu- lure can bo regarded iu assured , ANCK companies doing business in Nebraska will bo interested in the verdict rendered At Nebraska City giv ing lo a p.irly whoio property was only parti vlly burned Iho full amount for which it was insured. This is thu first case under the valued policy law passed by Iho last legislature , and the vordlct Is unquestionably in accord with the intent of the legislature. The act la very clear and explicit iu Us terms , and it was passed as a necessary protection to insurers , wno formerly were largely al Iho meroy of Iho insurance com- p.mios. Now if a company Ukos n rlslc il does so with Ihe full knowledge that t it may have to pay what tlio policy calls for , regardless of Iho actual amount ol damage. It can do as it pleases in.as' suniing the risk , but it cannot settle on 1 Its own terms. " * ' " IT is manifestly impossible for Wil liam C. Whitney to occupy all. tin places for which his .admirers hav < slated him. It is now sivid that Mr Cleveland wants him to succeed'Mr tlisooek In thu senate , but EJivard Mur phy , the great Tamminy onioftaln , hai got a buro hold on that place and refuse to withdraw from tha race to please Mr Cleveland.

A nr.MMiK undo the other iHy by nn eastern man visiting in Omaha , to the elYoi't that ho could not see that lho west differed socially from lho east , Is not at all surprising when it is consid ered that the west Is so oftun spoken ot as a "wild and woolly" section of the country oven by those who know very well thai Ihls description does not aptly apply lo it. Why should inoro bo any appreciable social dllTeroiice between the west and the east ? Omaha poi-ioty is made up almost entirely oi eastern people who have sought homos hero. Many of them are educated and cultured people who moved in the best circles in the oastbcforo they changed iholr place of abode. They have not boon altered by a more change in their place of resi dence. Tin : beet sugar ecivsoii In Nebraska is no-.1.- practically ended and it appears that the Grand Island factory has done a largo business. It has used 12,000 tons of beets nnd produced !

During the past three days tire export pump and steam inou from the Union Pnclllu shun ; hava been' in the city hall , working over the elevators and the pumps , trying to find out why the steam plant would not oparalo in n satisfactory manner. Although these men have been working about ma cuinery for years , they have been compelled to throw up their hands nnd acknowledge that they do not know what is the trouble with the steam plant In the basement of the cltv ball. Yostcnlftv they tackled the larpo pump , taking it down and cleaning nil of the parts. Then they thought , they had everything iu ship shape , but when too machine was put together and the steam was turned on the snmo trouble existed. In fixct , the latgo pump would not lift tbo two elevators when tbo .steam was turned into the compound pressure chamber. The members of the special committee of the council are nil at sea ever the matter and do uot know which way to turn , though they say that when they report to the ccunoi' they will advocate tbo application of soim radical measure. The elevator man is almost beside himself witn Joy ever the turn which affairs have taKQii , for with the difllculty that , exists with tbo puuips , the elevator question ha1 " been lost sight ot for tho"tlmti. . Ha said that ho was convinced that all of the fault was with the pump * , nnd that when Ihoy were put in proper shape , then the elevators would do their work according to the contract. The pump men have an ngoi.t on the ground , but ho is not saying a word , though ho is watching the proceedings with consid erable interest. During the overhauling of the pumps by tlio Union Pacillc men ho Hlniply stood around , without oven offering any suggestions. .

Grosvenor and Cannon of Illinois will bo strong accessor to the re publican ranlcs in congress , and with Hood and Barrows will form a quartet which promises to give the democrats plenty of ir ritating opposition. General Grosvenor Is at present dealing his heaviest blows at Andrew Carnegie. Ho asiorts that CarneRio intentionally precipitated the Homestead strike sliortly Dctoro tno election in spite , against the republican paity because it bud cut down tbo tariff on articles tno Carnegie company nimuifucturod. "Tho one man who left Washington chagrined and disappointed after wo pnssoa the McIClnloy uct. " said General Grosvonor , "was this man Carnegie. He sulked silently for n lime and then took his reven o when his oppor tunity offered. Ins most Migniilcant that the Homestead strike occurred nt the very time when worklngmen throughout the coun try were beginning to look ahead and form their opinions ns to what course they should tuko In the national eleciion. I think a case could bo made out before any Intelligent , American Jury showing that the Homestead trouble was purposely brought on by Car- iieglo for its political effect. " Wurmlne to his subject General Grosvonor handled Mr. Carnegie without gloves , declar ing among other things UmtC.irncglo'siiaino would go down in history ns that of Iho "greatest coward and snciik of th ace. " "Why did ho run off to Scotland ? " con tinued General Grosvenor , "when ho owed in to the republican party to coma and nialto decent explanations' right tha wrong ho bad done.
