Tins information pannot , must not , ' dare not be longer kept secret. The itnxious , eager and crazed world de mands an instant reply to the question : "Wno , what nnd where is Mrs. Lease of Kansas ? " THK clover way in which the post- ofllco authorities caught that would-bo robber Tuesday shows that the Clove1 land election has not case down the npirlta of the government employes so thnt'thoy forgot their duties. TUB observations of a member o the British parliament , published in this paper , concerning the growth ana improvement of Omnha , go to show that appreciation of the city is no confined to these who live in it. A SIIOKTAGB of over 1,000,000 b.ilos it the southern cotton crop on account oi floats is u serious matter to the growers ors , for the crop would have boon much below the average even if it had boon harvested in peed condition. A CUIBAT mooting of the Clark faction was hold in Texas the other day and It 'was stated that these present deter mined to proceed with oven greater vigor to ovcrthron noggisiu in Texas. They can't do it , however , as long us they aid in giving Cleveland 100,000 plurality. Fouii men killed nnd three injured is the result of a B witch boinp carelessly loft open near Grand Island. Comment upon auoh torrlblo consequences of care lessness is useless. The lesion taught by the accident is an impressive ono and will long bo remembered by the railway employes who wore witnesses of the dis aster. A rnoMiNKNT authority in Now Yorlc says that there is evidence that but llt- tlo wheat is loft in the hands of farmers in consequence of the recent heavy crop movement and that prices are nearly at the low level. It is certainly tlmo for the bottom to have boon reached nnd it is to bo hoped that the prediction is wall founded. THKdemocratic triumph in the recent election has already produced disastrous .results. At a ratification in Llttlo Zlock , Ark. , about a dozen men wore in jured nnd ono was killed. The trouble with these democrats IP tlmt they dm not expect to win and had not prepared themselves for such u joyful timons they nro now having. TUB trouble with republicanism in Now York city is mild lo ho owing to the fact that there are so many Bo-called re publicans holding olllco by tbo grace of Tnmnmny and who are spies on their own party. This sort of thing prevails every where find is ono of the mostdllll- unit and exasperating matter * in politics with which lo deal. A DOOM linn boon inaugurated in a ' qulol wiy to mii'to ' W.

Such reflections uro hostile to j the spirit nnd purpojo of the diy. : It Is true thnt on this ns on every dny of Iho yonr slindows will fall upon many house holds iintl everywhere there nro hearts j hoiivy with sorrow , to whom it may scorn n mockery lo bid them ho thank ful. Vut thcro nro few lives quite so barren or no utterly nojflocstod that they have absolutely no cnnso for gratitude. At any rnto tlio very grout majority inuy llnd abundant reasons for thanks giving , nnd to nil such this , day makes its serious , though not choci'lus ? , appeal , nnd it should luitvo overybotly baiter for its observance. Corlninly tlio Amoricnn people , con sidered us n whole , hnvo every reason for thankfulness. Wo nro nt pcai'c with tlio world , the your Ims boon ono of prosperity to all Intoiosts , and Ihoro U no sound runsbn for ttikinfr u gloomy view of tlio future , though llicro is promise of important changes from tlio policies that huvo boon so productive of benefits to Iho country. Looking nbroail over.Ihu world , it will bo found thnt no otlior pconlo nro f o fortunately situated in all iimtorlul respects , nnd surely Ibis is ample cause for gialeful- ness. tnn nn'iMA.uv srsrw.v. Poriodicnll.y the question of doing nwny with our diplomatic system nnd maintaining only tlio consular service is discussed. It is receiving sotno con sideration now in tlio press. It is qtics- tlonnblo wliothor any political party will over seriously propose tlio abandon ment ol the diplomatic system , for whatever may bo said of ltd shortcom ings the founders of the government thought it well to establish the system , nnd ho would bo it rather daring uoliti- cal hinder who should venture to im peach their wisdom by seriously propos ing lo do awity with it It is rather to bo expected , however , thnt when the democrats ate in control of congress they will very mato-inUy reduuo the nllnwnnco for the diplomatic set-vice. Mr. Ilolman endeavored to do this nt the late session' of congress , but en countered an opposition which lie could not overcome. Tbo advocates of abandoning tbo diplomatic establishment assert that it has become practically worthless ; thnt under the changed conditions with respect to international communica tion it is qulto unnecessary to have ministers at foreign courts ; that the money annually expended in maintain ing the dinlomattc establishment cou'.d ' be used to much better advantage in employing intelligent nnd wldo-awako commercial agents in all quarters of the globe. It must bo admitted that thcro is force in this reasoning , yet there is something to bo said on the other side. It is very questionable for instance , whether a consul or a commercial agent 'could have accomplished what has been done by the American ministers nt Paris and Berlin in bringing1 about the removal of tlio prohibition against our pork products in Prance and ( Jorrauny. Foreign goverumiints are punctilious in this matter of treating with the ronro- BenUitivcs of other governments , and it has been said that our diplomatic service might bo improved in usefulness and ollluiency if ministers were given a higher rank. If wo propose to maintain intimate relations with foreign govern ments \vo must show a proper respect for their systems and methods , whether wo nro concerned about our own dignity or nol. Tlio diplomatic nnd consular services have been doing bettor in recent years thnii formerly. As to Iho latter , it has become the practice torotain intelligent and faithful men , antt the time will come when this service will cease to bo o rolugo for broken-down poliliclnns and will take on some such diameter as that of the Knglish consular sorvico. Permanent tenure and more liberal compensation will secure a hiirli clnss of ability in this service , nnd the interests of the country demand that It shall bo made as good as possible. As to tbo dip lomatic service , it will stand so long as the American people have too much prldo lo put themselves in a position of inferiority , in their foreign relations , to smaller and far loss wealthy coun tries. The reforms tha/ ! have been insti tuted in the military branch of the pub lic service during the present ndminiH- trntfon have been productive of marked improvement in the condition of the tinny. A striking evidence of this Is tno large fulling off in the number of desertions , which , according to the ro- Dort of the adjutant general of the armv , was 2,844 in 1883-'fi'J , 1,593 in 1810-)1 ! ) , and 1,1182 in 1801-02 , or a frac tion over C per cent of the total enlisted strength , The enlisted strength Doing greater now than four years ago , the porcontngo of desertions is considerably loss than one-half what it was at that time. It is to bo noted , also , that slnco tlio reforms were introduced a bettor class of men nro secured. Another important reform was the abolition of post traders and their stores. That Hystom was succeeded by a co-ouor- atlvo plan under which tlio mon are enabled to obtain their extra supplies at greatly reduced prices and still leave a profit , tills amounting lust year to . $212,000. the creator portion of which was devoted to the improvement of tlio mosses. The adjutant general roportsa ' marked Improvement in the mornlo 1 'I the men und of military discipline , which ho aacrlbos directly to these re . forms. The army consists now of 20,000 ollicors arid men an insignificant force in comparison with European armies , yet Btilllciont ns a nucleus'for tlio forma tion of an ofTootlvo force in ease of war. The fact that the army Is small does not , however , render loss necessary a high standard of olllclouoy. The dependence of the country in the past has been upon its .citizen soldiery , nnd thin will continue to bo tlio case for nn indefinite timo. It will DO many years before the popular sentiment of the United States will favor a much larger standing army than what wo have , and there are uo probable con- ditions i to require ono. It Is manifestly import.int ! , llioirfo o , to have n well- organized i and well-eqiiippod militia , but congress hns flho.vn little disposition to i encourage the flUUes to mtt'nlaln militia : organl/allonH. Voy llttlo can bo ' doao with $ IUO,00 ! in this dlicctiou und tlmt sum is nil the present congress appropriated for thu militia. U is not probnblo that its successor will do any better , if 3J well. Tim IMl'OHT < l\r l.OCAli Local interest in the report of Secretary tary UuaU of the Agricultural depart ment is cliiclly centered in his discus sion of our moat export business. Slnco the last report of this donartmont the prohibition against American pork pro ducts has been withdrawn in all foreign countries where llioy existed and 40- 000,000 pounds of pork , duly inspected under the present law , bus been ox- portctl. A comparison of the export trade of May , June , July nnd August of this year with the same period last jcar , tlio secretary notes an increase of 1(2 ( per cent in tlio quantity shipped this year at an advance in wrico which in- croiiMad the values for the same period by ( ! ( ! ! per cent , lie compares prices for September of this year with those ot the same month in 1800 , the year before pork inspection was adopted , and shows tin increase of 80 oontri per 100 pounds in favor of this your , an average of $2 per head on every hog sold. In view of the large number of hogs markotcd , this increase in price is very gratifying to all who are interested in this important industry. Secretary Husk says that our inspec tion laws have also icslorod the confi dence ot foreigners In the hcnUhfulness of our cuttle. Live cattle exports in 18S9 amounted to 203,000 head , but in 18)2 ! ) wo ex ported OT 1,000 head atnnin- crease in value amounting to $8 per head. A comparison of Chicago mar ket quotations for September , 1802 , with those of the same month in 1880 shows an increiii-o in the value of cattle sold amounting to from $14 to $13 per head , according to woight. Otr the whole number of cattle siAfl in n slnglo year this would foot uo about $40,000,000. Another subject in which the west 1ms a peculiar interest is that of the special efforts made to acquaint the people of Utu-ono with the merits of American corn as tin article of food. Concerning tlio work of the agent em ployed in Germany by his department the secretary says that many dilllculties attended the introduction of it now fooa heretofore generally regarded in Europe us a food not fit for human con sumption. A mixed corn and rye bread was found lo bo necessary to secure keeping qualities in a country where bread is chielly made and sold by the bakeries , and corn grinding machinery purchased in tills country is now in use in several mills in Germany. Ono of tlio results was the muintonunco of the price of corn last year , and although it has since fallen much lower there can be no doubt that tlio efforts mndo to popularize this cereal in Germany have exerted nn important influence upon the market this year. Tlieso two features of the work of the Agricultural department are especially important to the stockiaiscrs und farmers of the west. It is tn bo hoped that the efforts made by Secretary Rusk to promote tlio interests of those who produce stock and corn will bo imitated by the coming administration. There is a crowing1 demand among the farmers for federal protection of their interests , and they are well pleased with the re sults that have been accomplished by the Agricultural department under the present administration. H'llKHK CUXCILIATIOXMI'S. . This is nn era of trades unions , and there is hardly an occupation in wnich men nro employed that cannot baaat nn organization for the protection of the rights of the woPlnnan. Even the otn- nloyes in theaters have such an organiza tion , and it n ppuars thnt at a recent moot ing of the central labor union in Now York they presented a complaint against a theatrical manager who hud responded in intemperate language to some re questor theirs. The ca o is unimportant , but it fihovvd how easy it is for employers to make the mistake of unnecessarily exciting the indignation and opposition of their employes. Tlio manager is quoted as saying that lie wns under no obligations to any union , and tliul if the men struck ho would employ bootblacks as stage hands and get hand organs to take the place of tlio musicians. To hnvo taken a friendly and concilia tory course would liuvo boon as easy as to use insulting language , and perhaps it would have boon more profitable lethe the manager in the ond. The case is only one of many in which the employer p-'oolpitatos trouble by becoming angry instead of keeping ills temper. Workingmen - ingmon ns u rule are reasonably , and it is not easy to paint out -an ' instance in w.hich they have refused to bo influ enced by nrginnon ) . The trouble is thnt the employer and the employed do not moot together upon common ground and talk matters over as friends having com mon interests. Thia Is the only way in which labor dlfllculttes can ho satlttfac- torily adjusted , It must not bo expected that everything will bo conceded by ono side and nothing by tlio othor.

Tlicro Is noth ing In the claim by iho trusts that thu Short - t mi law ls unconstitutional. Every line was 3iirofully reviewed t > y the bint coiittitutlonut awyors and every possible feature tlmt could bo questioned was stricken out. Tncn t wns passed unanimously uy both houses. lo has not the shadow of n doubt as to the constitutionality of tha act. Mr. IGumumls is cqtinlly decided as to the ircadtti of scope of Ilio measure. Uo suvs it vns Intended to , and ho thlnus docs , cover ovcry form of combination taat seeks lo in any vay tnterfero with or restrain frco com- lulUion , whether It bo cnpltnl in the form of rusts , combinations , railroad pools , or ugreo- iieiits , or labor through the form of boypot- iiiR organizations that may sny n man stiall nnt 0111 n his tire ad unless hu join this or that society. Both are wrong. Uoth are crimes and indlctnblo under iho anti-trust law. Ho i .V8 , too. that if the law Is enforced it will smash the trusts. If the olllccrs charged with tlio enforcement of the law do their full duty trusts and combinations wilt go to ) iecos as quickly as they sprang into exist- once. Hu mined thut unless they nro checked it is only u question of time when between tyranny of capital on the ono hand nnd labor on the other there will bo no lib erty for the people worthy of the nnmo. -Thoupli for tlio time being the sugar trust may have reduced the price of sugar and the oil trust the price of oil , that does not alt".r the principle thnt trusts uro wrong. How ever seductive they may appear in lowering [ irice.s to the consumer for tno time being Lhoy are destructive of the public welfare. They come to bo grinding tyrannies that juvo sometimes produced riots In other countries , Tboro is in this language no uncertain souud. It Is plain and precise. It should bo convincing even to those who have sought to grow rich by combining against the ceoploto crush out the competition which is the life of all business and nn cisential to liberty. U should revive the 'drooping spirits of such of iho government ofllelal * as want to work for the sunpressioii of trusts but have feared the law is not on thl-lr sldo suflliMontly to nssuru them success" They nro now told on very hlsh Authority 'that tlio only thlug ncc essury to tbo smashing of the trusts Is thnt these officials stiall do their duty. Of course that includes the procurement of evidence to prove the existence of a trust in any partic ular ease , us in the nbsonco of that the court cannot act. Hut in at least some Instances it would seem tan obtaininc of this ovidcnco should not be a dilllcult , task. In the case of the coal combination , hns not Its trust character boon admitted by olllcors of iho comoine ? Have they not boldly announced that Ihuy have combined nnd Intend 10 keep up the combination ? Hnvo they not practic ally dared tno govuriimont to do Us worst by declaring the Sherman anti-trust law is un- CuiisUtutiouali Surely this is u compara tively open case in which tbo facts would hardly be disputed uy the defendants. They oucht to bo given a chance lo provo that they have not broxcn the Iuw , and if the fact nf such breach can bo established against them their shipments of coal across the state line ought to bo seized upon in the interests of the great public which have been jeopar dized by Iho nefarious combination.

The St. l.oun mill Chicago I.Inn Salt ! to 11 iivo r.iccllrnl llncKlae. NEW YOIIK , Nov. 23. The now Chicago & St. Louis olfiotrio road , on which It is claimed 100 miles an hour will bo mndo when the line Is in operation , nnd whleti Is under construction at the Si. Louis end , has aroused now Interest from the faut that iho General Electric company is said to bo bacic- Ing the enterprise. This Is the theory on which certain parties inVuli street account for the now issue of § 0,000,000 bonds of the electric company. The stock of the Chicago it St. Louis Electrical railroad , amounting to $7OOUUOO , is already on the market. The assumption Is that tlio General Electric com- , puny bus either taken up enough of this stock to guiirnntco the success of the enter- tirlsoor thnt it will furnish the equipment. For this lutter purpose n iarco outlay would be necessary. Tlio management is reticent In the matter. The General Electric com pany , it. Is snid , now has f.500,000 casli in Iho treasury , but this is mostly needed in order to establish subordinate electric light companies in different cities. The General Electric company supplies tuo equipment and receives ns part payment the stock ot these subordinate concerns. Some of tncm are flourishing und bring in handsome protlts. Atruin It Is suggested that the General Electric company has secured the contract to furnish the now line between Chicago nnd St. Louis with motors nnd olbcr equipment , and that It ncreos to take part payment in the stock of the electric railway. The road will bo 1)00 ) miles long with four tracks , twofer for express business nnd two for loi-al. Tno protnotord expect to hnvo It done in tlmo for the World's' fair. Dr. Wellington Adams , the projector , is reported as saying thut the financial part of the scheme is insured. Hail Siniillliov on Itniiril. NEW YOIIK , Nov. iilJ.
