TUB question ns to who will bo prcs- Idont of tlio now council is bojrinnlng to loom up on ttio political Btoreopticon. IltitiuATiON' is coming moro and moro into favor In tlio arid lands of the west. It has boon u favorite molhod with arid democrats for years. Now Hint winter is upon ua wo shall again liavo a grout many plans for mammoth structures which are destined to bo built on paper. Sl'Jir.-.ON" may not bo elected senator from Kansas. Out ho ought to bo. Kansas needs a big , allopathic dose of tomfool cranlvisin to open its oycs. TIIIJ ordinances granting the right-of- way to telegraph companies through our streets must bo repealed. The polo nnd wire nuisance is becoming unhoar- nblo. nblo.No No O.VK expects any moro paving to bo done this year , but let the authorities keep their eyes on the opening of springer or the people will spring an opening of eves on them. THK republican party in Nebraska has Just won a sign il victory , and yet it can throw away all the fruits of that victory l y a few unwise ucta precipitated by the boodle clement in the party. PuitHAi'3 the presence ol so many majors oa tlio Uoi.nl of I'ubltc Wortis is ibo cause of the ( front friction and litilo business manifested in that body. Wo move they bo reduced to tlio ranks. GKIIMATS Y is having a lot of fuss over the now army bill and Franco is net- vaded by scandal. And so for once those two countries have temporarily ceased making faces at one another. Tin : total vote of Now York shows an actual loss of 23,000 votes as compared with 18SS. where a gain of loO.OUO was expected. Either there wore mauv vot- crs who remained at home or that state is rapluly losing population. TIIU planting of sky-piercing telo- irraph polch blill continues on upper Furnurn and the buildings in that sec tion of the city will soon resemble a btoclcudo , with just room enough bo- twcon poles to pass in irul out Tltosic iron poles which the street railway-company was to place on the principal thoroughfares are still miss- Ing. The question is whotnor any frun- chlscd corporation in Omaha is subject to law or municipal regulation1 ! ( jAimjit UAiutibON is going to nave a cabinet position , or ho will run for mayor of CMiicago. And either horn of the dilemma is what is causing hard headaches to democratic lo.iders in Chicago cage just now. Carter Is apparently on top. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ IT 18 Bald that 10,000 young moti nml woman altoiul the collotrcs of Kansas. It is to bo hoped that their education will bo loavnod with common sense BO that the result may bo a regeneration ol the people of that state by their influ ence. Tin : astonishing fact concerning the wheat crop of Minnesota and the Da- kolas IB that it will exceed all estimates , The figures have been placed al af,000,0)0 ( ) to 103,000,000 uusholH , but the Incruuho is so rapid In every section that it now suams prob.iUlo that It will roach lo thu enormous amount of 185- 000,000 bushels. This is certainly ai : ugrooablo biirpriso. Till !

The ground was acquirud by i uubtorfugo , the Heller not knowing wlir was behind the purchase , and so it ii probable that it did not cost $1,000,000 which it id Hidd that road jiaid to go into Chicago.

The flrit victory in the senatorial light will bu won nnd the flr t do font Hill bo stit- trrcd whun n apoikor nnd other ofllcors ot the homo nnd sonn o are choicn. The inon ho want Ncbrm'ta to send republican to thu senate will old iho ropiibllc..uii In Iho or- cnniz.Ulon , but no man can do this without bolnjr marked forllfopolitically it-lhr- nlil. This Is n terrible lhro.it. Coming from n political bantling who is still wet boiilntl the ottrs slnro hU baptism to Nomocracy it Is doddedly amusing. What bearing will the iiuoluo of n speaker nml selection of dorks untl doiirkeoncrs Inivo upon tliu outcome of the soiinlorial fight ? In 1S71 tlio ro- piihlluana elected the npoaker alul prcsi- dun I of iho senate lu well us'the clones , sorrolarioa and ( niporiiinnoriirloa of both hon ? . Hut Iho republican candidates for sonntor were iJufoatotl b.v an Andy . 3'JiH)0 !

In KS7" ) Iho republi cans tifjnin urpani/ed both housL'3 of llio loRislnturo. They hail llio spo.ilsor and clerk ; they Imd the prosltloiit of llio senate nnd the sooroliiry. 15ul the ropiiblican caucus ciuuli'ltilo , who was n ( .Irani stalwart , was dofoal'-d and nn Andy .lolinsonito was oloct.o'1 hy the combined vote of democrats nnd ropubll can bolters. In 1881 the anli-ntoiiops ortjani/.ed the sanatu , but after tliirty days' balloting tjenoral Mnmlcrdon was chosen United ytatas sonnlor. Six iotirs atfo Van Wyck's followers organ ized the house and captured mot of the clerkships nnd coininiltoo ohnlrnrati- Shlpn. Van Wyck had a in tjorlty of the loj'islaliiro and yet was defeated by the combine ) organi/.ul a tiinsl him. Tliiri is N'cbrnska history. The liistorv of Bonatoriiil contests in Knnsiva , Min nesota , Wisconsin , Illinois ntm ether wcslorn states tcachos n like lesson. The niirly or faction Uiat orcanir.os the logislnttiro is about as often do- fetiled as it is successful in sanalo.'ial contests. Tlio distribution ot lojjisin- tivo spoils is not always an advantage any more than the control of federal patronage" . Tlio thing Unit most concerns tlio people ple of Nebraska in the organization of the coining legislature is the selection of upright , unpurcliaaablo ollicials who cannot bo swerved from the honest and fearle.-s discharge of thouduty. . It matters very little to the ttixiurors nnd people generally what w > litk"il crcod these olll 'ors tirofcss. The all import ant question is , are they' honest ? A speaker can only cast ono vote for United States senator and his vote car ries no more weight than the vote of the most obscure member. But a speaker has n tremendous Influence in molding legislation. A dishonest speaker can retard or strangle a good bill just as it dishonest clerk can pigeonhole , muti late or lose one. If llio boodlersand oil-room mercenar ies orgniii/.o tlio next legislature tno taxcators will have another carnival The political parasites will fatten at the public crib and the contractors and cor porations will dominate the state for the next two yours. In every legislature birds of a feather lloclc together. The boodle olomontanil brtf-s-rolltif gang of all pit-ties always friitcrni/.o ulien it comes to voting for a job or a jobber. They will show their hand plainly enough when it conies to orgatii/o the legislature. The people will not bo deceived by fnlso prolonsos or by any side issue , oven if it is as prominent as a senatorial election. ( IIAXUl.Ult O.Y IMMlf.tt.lTlON. Senator Chandler of New Hampshire , chairman of the senate committee on immigration , has iriveil most thorough and p'lliont study to that subject , and is unquestionably as good authority as to wliat further legislation is desirable ' for regulating immigration ns anyone in ttio country. Tlio committee of which S-jnalo.- Chandler is chairman is holding a meeting in Now York to consider the question of restricting immigration. In tin interview the senator said that in his judgment the time has coino to test tlio fiouso of the American con gress and the American people. Ho thought the people demand increased limit UioiiH. and congress should find out how strong tlio ilom mil Is and to what extent Immigration should bs restricted. The spirit of the legisla tion pissed by congress , slid tin son- ntor , has boon to keep out bid people only , and it is tlio souse o ( our citizen ship that congress Hhall go further. lie had throe propositions to make in response to this demand. One was to provide that all persons a'lmlttjd to this country hereafter shall bu able to road and write , if they are of Htiittblo age. Tlu ; hucond point is thu question of moans the properly nullification. An individual coming alone might he required lo have at least $100 , a largoi sum if lie have a wife with him , and in case ho has children a stated sum foi each child. The third and most im portant proposition of all relates to tin suspension of all immigration for a term ofyonr.s , perhaps live. With regard t < j this Sanator Chandler expresses tin opinion "that in no other way than i com [ dote suspension of immigration cat wages be maintained nt their proson standard. " Tlio importance which the immlirra tion question Is assuming and ttio gen cral discussion it ib receiving make UK views of so careful and conscientious n Btuuont of tlio Btibject as Senator Clmnd lor of great value. When ho the hulicf that it is the sense of tin American people that there should hi further restrict on of Immigration , tin statement will command roapoct-ns Ilia of a public man wiio is earnestly seek ing the wisest and most practical solu tlnn of a perplexing problem , rathe than a politician anxious to pander t popular prejudice , With regard to th bonatur's propositions , there will pin haps ha ro serious discussion uf any except cept that for the suspension of all I nun I gration , Su uxirotne a departure as till from the policy of the country blnce th foundation uf the government wil lo doubtless encounter vigorous opposition 10 und the reason given for proposing I will not silence opposition , if 'that b accepted ns valid now It may rousotmbl bi asked if Iho time would over ( Mine when u dti1 ! of the people would doom It not to be so. and a suspension of im migration having hoononcB adopted the development of tlio crmntrv in popula tion might ha led lo natural growth for a generation or longer. Indeed , clamor agalnst'a rctu'-n to the present policy would always bo so loud as to command great Inlluor.oJ with political parties. It Is appi.-etit that the Inlluunccs which favor the further restriction of inmitrratlon intend lo make an aggres sive campaign and it Is equally plain that the picDondoratlng sontimctit among them is favo-ablo to tlio suspen sion ol' all Immigration. It must not bo supposed , however , that these comprise anything like a majority of the Ameri can people. .i T/O.V. / Judging by whnt has thus far been acco'.nplishinl bv Iho iiivostigallon of the operations of the Rending' coil com bine by the s ibi'omniiUoo of the Inter state Commerce coin miss I on in Now York , no results of consoiuonco are likely to ba achieved by it. The ofll- rials of the various railroads interested in the deal , who ti"o ca'lod as wil'ionos , are not compelled lo testify to ntti thing that duos not suit their pu rpose , and consequently they give no information that is of great value. They simply a-lhero to the policy th'il ' lias boon iviopto'l ' by I'rc'ldcnt MoLio ! of the Haading in discussing this subject , and try to justify all of the doings of the combine by assuming tint the proltuiors are perfectly al Ilbo-ty to use their own judgment as to the wisdom of in cretis- ing or decreasing their output of c > al. It is well known that there have boon numerous conferences of the coal barons , which have baon called "lido water" meetings , the object being to determine the amount of coal to bo do'lvuroil ' at tide w.iloor : , in other words , to limit the amount lo bo marketed in the vicin ity of Now York. In answer lo a question by Congressman - man Patterson the vice president of the Lickawann system , Mr. IlolJeti , said that the coal producers wore like summer hotel proprietors , they could not kcor open all the yuar 'round. In reply to another question the sinia witness said that ho could only spaak for his own company , thousrh lie acknowledged that tlio various com panies in the deal know what the others wore doing. lie could not ba compelled to disclose his knowledge because lie foil back upon his constitu tional right to refrain from saying any thing thai would urimiiidlu himself. It was the same with tlio other witnesses. Not o 10 of thorn said anything that was of any practical value in establishing the criminality of the combine. Tlio idea of collusion between the different railroad companies was scouted by the witncases , though nothing could be ila'n-jr than that such collusion lias x'oied. The president of the Ponn- lylvnnia Railroad company objected _ to miking a statement of tlio number of ull days worked by the minors om- iloyod by the company since 1890. Congressman Patterson sai'l that the object of the committee was to get at the fact that the companies acted ac- ; ording to aPTOomont in respect to uniting p-odudion , but it does not ap- > our that this object was attained. No iseful information whatever was elicited , and there is no probability , hat the future sessions will bo moro fruitful. The Interstate Commerce commission is handicapped in its work , because wit- losses are not compelled to testify to anything that would criminate Idem- solves. In feovoral recent cases that liavo been tried before the commission this obstacle has boon mot with and all efforts to got at the facts have proven nbortivo. Witne.-ses toll as much as they please and no moro. Under such conditions the commission is of no practical - tical use. Witnesses who take advan tage of their constitutional right to avoid criminating Ihomsolvoj must thereby virtually acknowledge their guile , but that dona not cut any figure in the result. The people gain nothing by it. Nobody do.ibts th-it - the coil combine is one of the greatest .systems of orgnni/.od public robbery th it was ovnr ostihllshoJ in this country , b-il it Booms to 1)3 very dKHcuU to fix li3 ! re sponsibility upon those who should boar it. It is nrinv months sinca the author- ilios ot New Jersey and Pennsylvania began prosojdinir.s against the niilh-a- cite robbr's , but thin f'ir nothing ha ? boon accomplished that prjiuisoj relief to the burdened public. It is to bo hoped that before the present investi gation by the IntoivstatoCominoreo com mission is conc'udod sunn results of practical value may bo achieved. TIIK MO.M.T.Ut r Tlio prococdingd of the international monetary conference thus far do not furnish a great de.il upon which to base a judgment as to what may ba the final results. The resolution of the Amori- cin dolognljs , declaring tint in the opinion oi the conference it is doilrahlo that moans bu found for nti incrjising use of silver in the ourroriev systems of the nations , did not moil with an nllj- got her oucouraglng iMceplion Tlio all tudo uf the Hrlllsh , Onlch , Suanish and Mexican dologaloj was favorable , hul Iho roprcsentaltve-i of nil Iho oilier countries were prevented by their In structions from giving their adhesion to thu resolution , and HUH a majority wore practically in oppjsitlon to it. Action on tlie Amuriiiin p/oposals was pmiod to a later stage of Iho proceed ings , and in Iho moainvhilo it is quite poijihlo thai llie instructions nf HO mo of the delegations may bo modi fled by tlicli governments , bill a fair inference is thai most of the countries represented in the conference nro not urupirod to mike any departure from their present mone tary systems. The conference appointed today foi the consideration of a plan proposed by Alfred do Rothschild of the Urillsli delegation ogation , only the merest outlines ol which have been made public , but 1 appears thai Rothschild has delormlnod not to ollioially submit his plan , but simply to communicate It lo the dele gates for tueir leisurely consideration hi the event of its mooting general favor it will ho given ollluinl presontallon U Iho conference. A full and uulhonlli report pf the nature of this sohome wil jo a wall oil wltlt ( inlvoraal interest. A significant fonWrprof the reports Is that the British dolognles gonortilly are con vinced that the riionot'iry question Inn roaohod u state \vhloh \ demands a gen eral remedy In , .order to avert n crisis that will proiluuo , fut-rcnclilng financial ntul economical changes , hut It has also hien made evident th it many mombara of Iho conference tire sa entirely "under the Inlluonoo of lirojudlco against any depirturo that thiro Is not very strong probiblllty of anything practical being accomplished toward n solution of the problem for the eoasldor.Uion ofvh ich the conference was called. It would not be wlsi to conclude , however , from what has taken place , that this conference , like those which proceled it , will prove a failure. There is manifestly among some of Us niumbors a verv S'lriom ' con victiou thul the monetary sllii'itio'icallH for dci'isivo action on the p irt of the great llnnncial nnd eomnioivial conn trios o ( the wor'.tl and tltil there is danger in delay. It is possible that such delegates mny ba able to so impress their views upon others liiat the coaforonce will not end without proposing a practical remedy. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A .SK.VS.I noA.u , It seems lo bo dcimnstrato.l that Hiola's comol , so ni.ioh talked of by astronomers nnd so much feared by certain superstitious and ignorant people plo , is not of any account after all. According lo predictions it should have produced at leasti great motoric shower yostordav if not something woiso , lint if ii. manifested itself at all it w is only in u very insignificant way. MotaoiM fro'n this comet were soon on WoJnonlay night in snma portions of th's ' country but the showj.- was not Important enough to com mind general attention. AstronomoiM siy lhat'tho.y are distributed over an area -5,001,000 miles in a cylinlrical form , and the fact thai they bagnn to bo SQJII moro than a week ago and Irivosinco greatly varied in numbers indicates that they are scattered irregularly over a wide space. There are miuy people who liavo act ually expected thai tlio sun would bo ox lingnibhcd by this comet and that the world would come to an end in consequence quence of its flight across the orbit of this wild wanderer in space. If Iho cal culations of tlioso who have made a special study of Hala's comet tire of any value there is now no danger ot such o itustrophos. A few itiotoors have de scended toward the eai th but have done no damage. IT is natural that comparisons should bo made between South Omaha and Kansas City in regard to the live slock buslncb ? . Kansas City lias long hold next place lo Chicago , with South Omaha steadily gaining. For some time past the Io2il : m tricot has shown great gains over HS competitor and for two weeks past it has paid shippers from 10 to lo cents moro for hogs than could bo paid by Iho clly on the Knw. Corn catt'.o are also invariably higher in South Omaha than in'Kunsis ' City. If local packers can contrive to piy : more for e itllo and h'ogs than packers in other markets the gain will continue , I'lie popularity of tlio South Omaha narkot is constantly increasing among iveslcrn producers and shippers on account - count of the good prices paid for slock.

Kirmui's Alliance : The indopondonti In the coming NeorasKa logislatttro can either elect n senator or ferro tlio two old parties to combine for the election of a republican or u democrat. All thnt is necessary is for them lo stand solidly and persistently together. The scheme of Iho democrats will bo to ; ; ot the independents to insist them in elect- In u democrat. They will bo able to ofl'or a most alluring bait to the independents. Tuey have ibo federal patronage uf ttio stato. They would doubtless bs willing to barter half the federal patronage of Ne braska for a senator. Hut they , too , wilt fall. To men who are in the reform move ment for ollleo ruthor than prlnciplo , a nosV oftico or u land olllco will bo n big to inn La tion. But if wo understand the temper of the honest independents of this state , there isn't federal patronage enough ia the Unitud States to hrloo thorn into betraying their cause ; and the man who would propose - pose such a thinff will bo spotted by the people us a weak stick , it not a traitor. Suuti a move as that would moan death to the independent party. This reform movement was not born to die. It limy rocelvp defeats ami--utbacus , it may lose somij of its members who Joined its ranks for olllco or because tho/ thought it was popular. Hut ttio croat ratut and lilu of the people's party consists of honest , intelligent men who are in this fight for prluolDlo and for justice.

As It Is there is a possibility of a throe-cornered Ilitht , and yet jtir independent friends , being in the minor ity and nnablo lo elect oncnt their own num ber , und remembering the loyalty of Sena tor Paddock to the iiincullural interusls of tno state , could with consistency support that pontlonmn for thu position.

Com manding influence In thu Uuitoil States senate is acquired in various ways ; some got it throuen great personal popularity , othcis through their wealth , other * througli their resplendent abilities and still others by reason of their faithful , afllciotit and long continued service. Now influence- the desideratum in tbo senator or congressman , it is what ho must have If ho accomplishes anything for his constituents or Iho country at large , and it is therefore the part of wis dom to continue that mainbor in his seat who has proven bis usefulness und fidelity to tbo interests of his constituents , who his : demon strated that ho lias the influence needed to draw his fellow members to his support. Nobraskn mny learn u lesson in this regard from her sister states in tliu east.

Thu question is , what lopublican shall it bo' No onu lnsi walk-away , but the man who is elected must uu ono who will com mand the united and heartv support of the republican partv. Whtlu Senator Paddock bus done considerable for llio state and hui been u hardworking member , it is very doubt ful if hu can do this. There is naturally some dissatisfaction with him , and conslclurublo criticism of his votes on the turlff and silver questions. Tiioro is also complaint that ho has catered moro or loss to tiio opposition , for tiis personal advantagn. It is not to his crcuitlhat his friends u rue that his course lias been such as to attach Indepondmitt to him. Ry doinii so lie has certainly lost prcs- tigo witn his own u.ii'ty. Our next senator must bo elected us a republican , und must stand on the ropubllcan platform , Hquurely and unroservudfv.
