TIIK death of Gould has knocked out

Sioux City ijeoplo are rejoicing
over the fact that they are to" have an

TIIEHK is ono man who has not yet

Omaha boys going to Chicago
hereafter nro warned not to "act sus

nro ready to pounce upon such grave
offenders.
IT is a good sign to note the interest
displayed by the manufacturers of
Omaha in the proposed exposition build
ing. Not only manufacturers , but every
clans of business mon should help this
enterprise by financial assistance. It
will bo bread' cast upon the waters

GOVKUNOU OriiioitNH of Wyoming ,
like many another ardent bourbon ,
Eoems to have gone off hnlf-coekcd. The

.HON. O. M. LAMIIKUTBON 1ms been
honored with the appointment to fill
the vacant assistant secretaryship in
the Treasury department for the porloi ]
that will intervene between now and
the 4th of March. Mr. Ltunbortsoi :
doubtless appreciates the compliment
but wo doubt whether he would refuse
to fill the goat in the United States
eonato after the 4th of March if the 3
legislature should sco lit to elect him.
IN oiicuNiHlNG the next house wo dc
not want any man of the Elder hrani
in the speaker's chair to appoint sifting
committees at the behest of tha junta o
jobbers and bogus claimants. The pee
' 1 ! pie of Nebraska have a right to domain
fair play for legislation that will pro
mote their interests and curtail the ru
imclty of spoilsmen and jobbers. The ;
want a man who will not sift out tin
good bills and sift in the bad bills.
Till ! most amusing thing at this moment
mont is the congratulations of the dom
ocratio organs of the country at larg
Unit the bottom has not fallen out o
business , although three weeks hnv
elapsed elneo the election of Grove
Cleveland. What is there surprising i
tills ? Harrison is still at the helm an
the democratic congress is not likely t
bo in full session before the first Tuoi
day in December , 1693 , There is tini
enough for u good deal of crockery t
bo smashed long before that date , an
even if there isn't tiny snmshup it wl
bo because the country does not b (
Hove that the democrats moan to carr
out their free trade and wildcat mono >
planks.
The fiocond session of Iho Fifty-second
congrcBS begins today. As this is the
short Ho'alon , coming to nn end March I
next , it is not expected to develop much
that will bo important or jiar'loulnrly '
interesting. Tlioro will probably bo no
furlhor llnltcrlng with the larilT , as tlio
democrats will doslro to louvo that work
until they come into control of the
government. Democratic senators will
doubtless nmUo an effort to pass the
free raw material bills which nro In thu
senate llnnnco cominUtoo * but it is not
at all likely that they will succeed in
persuading , republican senators that it
.is their duty to support thcso free trade
monsux s. The passage ot the fro : wool
bill would cut olT , it is estimated ,
$25,000,0 )0 ) of revenue , and in the pres
ent condition of the treasury such a loss
would uo disastrous. Mr. Sprlligor ,
chairman of the house ways and moans
committee , claims that the passage of
the free wool bill , of which ho is Iho
author , would bo followed by such nn
increase in the consumption of woolen
foods us to greatly swell the importa
tions , thereby more than mnlring up for
the loss of Tovcnuo from wool , but as It
nannot bo cor.alnly known that this
would bo the result the safe plan Is to
rotsiin a sure eourco ct revenue , und
this , doubtless , is what the republican
senators will decide to do.
No currency legislation is lobe ex
pected , it. would bo useless to pass a
free silver bill , granting that It could
bo done , for the reason that it would en
counter the veto of the president.
Possibly an effort will bo made lo re
peal tlio law requiring the secretary of
the treasury to purchase ' 1,600,000ounces
of silver monthly , but it is doubtful
whether it would succeed , notwith
standing the fact that the democratic
party is committed against it. The
probability is that the democrats in uon-
groi-s will conclude to lot the law re
main until they are In full control of
that body. In the matter of appropri
ations the democrats of the house will
endeavor to cut down everything to the
lowest point practicable. This is the
determination of Mr. Ilolmnn , chair
man of the appropriations committee , *
and very likely ho will bo supported in
it by his party colleagues , who see
trouble ahead in providing fortho de
mands upon the treasury.
The question of an extra session of the
Fifty-third congress is being very ear
nestly discussed by the democrats , and
they appear to bo about equally di
vided on it. The decision of the ques
tion of course rests wholly with Mr.
Cleveland , and it baa been understood
that ho did not favor it , but it is now
said th.U he has boun induced to take a
different view of the matter by having
shown to him the expediency of admit
ting Now Mexico and Arizona to state
hood in order to iiialto sure of a demo
cratic senate. Bills for the admission
of those territories are now in the handset
ot the senate , and if they nro not passed
at this session it is thought that the
Fifty-third congress will bo called in
extra session very soon after Mr.
Cleveland becomes president. The ad
vocates of nn extra session urge that it
is the duty of the party elected to power
to proceed as soon as possible to put
into effect its promises to the people.
" Wo can glvo no peed protest , " says
Mr. Springer , "for withholding the
benefits wo have offered the people
through a revision of the tariff. Wo
have denounced the tnrill as a robbery.
It is now our duty to afford relief. "
This is the argument of the extra ses
sion advocates , and it must bo
fossed that it has force.
Sia&'S OF UUTTKIl TIMKS.
Unless the signs of the times arc
wholly misleading , Omaha is on the eve
of a marked improvement in her finan
clal situation. This city has pulled
through this prolonged period of de
pression with unimpaired credit. The
boom has loft fewer scars in our ma
terial prosperity than , in that of atij
city of like situation. The reaction hat
boon severe enough to satisfy the most
incorrigible pessimist , but no such suf
fering in purse or progress lias been experienced
perionced here as in neighboring cities ,
whore the boom lasted longer and col
lapsed more completely. Those fact !
ore recogni'/.od in the inonny centers o
th 3 east , and hence Omaha public am
private securities have taken high rank
A growing young city must dcpom
upon outside capital largely to bade tin
enterprise of her citizens. The Dinahs
brain must direct , but the eastern cap
Italist must furnish the means whicl
shall produce results. Tlio ease will
which money can no obtained for in
vestment in this city shows how stronj
the faith of the country at largo is ii
this young metropolis. In fact , investment
mont agents in this city have loner sine
discovered that eastern people have
more abiding and pronounced faith i
the future of Iho city than many of ou
local capitalists. While regretting th
indllToronco of our own people , wo fin
in the confidence of others the ground
for anticipating a marked advance i
material conditions in the coming yeai
Among the enterprises which nr
more or less certain to bo oan-ie

The old hordes of tnxoaters nnd
bnrnacles nro getting ready for another
descent upon trio capital. When the
legislature convenes they will bo quar
tered at the nrlnclpal hotels , lee-rolling
for soft berths and sinecures that will
pay them $15 to S4 n dny. besides per- ,
quisltes fo : banging around the com
mittee rooms and doing nothing.
The fact is there will bo nothing for
the committees to do during the first
three or four weeks of the session nnd
there is no more ifSo for this horde of
committee clerks than there is for a
fifth wheel to a wagon.
The legislature never does any active
committee work until utter It has got
through fighting over tlio cleolion of a
United States saunter. The money paid
to needless committee clorlcd and more
needless sorgeants-at-arms , cloak room
janitors and superintendents of cuspi
dors is a down right waste and a high
handed robbery ot the taxpayers.
Worse than that oven , most ot these
hangers-on are moro cr.ppors ar.d . eaves
droppers for the oil-room managers and
lobby. They have 1100033 to tbo floors
and cloak room-i while the legislature is
in active session. They hoar the mem
bers express their private views about
candidates and bills and report to their
corrupt employers. Tlio result is the
state house is filled with spies paid out
ot the state treasury.
With organized boodln combines ,
working members at the hotels and a
gang of spies and conspirators operating
upon them in the committee rooms and
elon.k rooms and on the very Moor of the _
legislative halls , the wcalc-kiioed and
the venal member' nro easily caught in
the meshes of the ST rantulas that fasten
their poisoned futiirs upon their victims
and hold them fast to do their bidding.
If the coming legislature is to bo a
real i-c.form legislature it will give a
wide , berth to the horde of political
vagrants and rounders who always in
fest the capital when the legislature
convenes and pester members to do'.ith

The annual report of the secretary of
the interior is n comprehensive review
ot the multifarious work of that depart
ment , with Important recommendations
which should command the careful at

Judge Ryan , of the Sixth Iowa district ,
has made a departure which is attracting
attention. . He has prohibited smoking in his
court and ordered Unit lawyers keep their
feet off the table while examining witnesses.
In most court rooms smoking is prohibited
during the sessions of court. Hut when it
comes to compelling a lawyer to keep his feet
on the floor and his hands out of his pockets
that is quite another thing. It savors strongly
of the blue laws. .ludgo liyan has started a
revolution. Ho is in danger of being waylaid
by the lawyers of his court and called a czar
or something worse.

KYcmont Flail : The legislator who will
interest himself in the subject of good coun
try roads this winter will be In touch with
the people. There is no question Unit is
nearer the hearts of the people and none
that more strictly concerns their financial
and social welfare. _
Plattsinonth Journal : AVllh the balance
of poxver in their hands the democrats in the
Nebraska legislature will have a most excel
lent chance to secure a reduction of state ex
penses. The United States scnalorship
should not be allowed to overshadow the In
terests of the taxpayer. Nebraska has about
the most expensive state government extant.
The chance to do good is a great one.
Sioux. County Join-mil : The road laws of
Nebraska are likely to receive a good deal of
attention at the hands of the coming legisla
ture. The subject is one in which iwlltlcs or
partisanship docs not enter. To provide that
all road tax be paid In money and a compe
tent road supervisor bo provided to expend
the same in the building of roads which will
bo permanent would save the farmers a great
deal each year in the wear , breakage of har
ness and vehicles and also in horseflesh.
Nebraska City News : Some of the papers
of the state are making their biennial sug
gestions to the members of the legislature m
regard lo the abominable system of assess
ing in vogue in this state. The people and
the papers have pleaded loud and long for a
change , but no attention has been paid to
their complaints. To say that we have the
worst system of assessing of any state in the
union but faintly expresses it. Some coun
ties assess at one-sixth , others at one-fourth ,
one-third and some at its cash value. The
next legislature should pass a law making
the assessments uniform all over the state.
Wayne Democrat : Both of the constitu
tional amendments were defeated , more from
a lack of interest than from any opposition
on the part of the voters. Both were good
measures and ought to have been adopted ,
but under the peculiar constitution of the
state a proposed amendment stands a very
slim show of being ratified by the people ;
and In order to secure needed reforms in the
constitution of the state it will bo absolutely
necessary to hokl another constitutional con
vention , and this is one of the needed re
forms that ought to receive atttcntion at the
hands of the selons who gather in Lincoln
next winter.
West Point Republican : For years the
people of Nebraska have been demanding an
elective railway commission and the very
lirst opportunity they got they went to the
] > ells and defeated a proposed amendment to
the constitution looking to that end. The
next legislature should not adjourn without
making provision for a constitutional conven
tion for the state of Nebraska. Under the
present ballot law it is almost impossible to
carry a constitutional amendment , no matter
how badly the people want it. Under our
present system of voting and manner of
printing ballots , it defeats any amendment
for the simple reason that a majority of the
voters will not take the trouble to properly
mark their ballots.
Howells Journal : One thing that should
receive attention at the hands of the legis
lature this winter is the passage of a law
regulating the ussssment of real and per
sonal property. As it is at present there is
no uniform method of assessing property in
the various counties. In some localities
property is assessed at one-third its value ,
in others at one-fourth , and there are in
stances where property is not assed at more
than one-sixth of its value. There is some
thing radically wrong in this mode of doing
business , as some counties pay much more
than their Just share of taxation for state
purposes , while others pay much less. This
should , in some way , be equalized. In our
opinion the only proper way to remedy this
matter is ( o pass a law that shall provide for
the assessment of all property at its actual
cash value. This would place every taxpayer
on an even footing. Under this mode of doing
business the levies would not have to be so
high'and every dollar's worth of property
would bear its proportion of taxation. Of
course such a change in the law would be
looked upon with favor by railroad com
panies ami other largo corporations , but that
met should not deter our members in the
legislature from doing their duty by the
peoplo. Wo believe that there are enough
fair-minded , justice-loving members elci'ted
to the next legislature to secure tlio passage
of such a measure as we hereof speak. Not
alone would such a measure provide equal
taxation for all properly , but ll would place
our own state In a better light before the
citizens of other states. As it Is at , present ,
our state is quoted id not moro more than
one-fourth of its actual value , while our
bonded and mortgaged Indebtedness appears
in round numbers without any reduction.
Let such a law be passed and the people will
rise as one man and ble-s their representa
tives for Introducing and lighting through
such a beneficial measure.

1t Is stated upon tlio authority of a n n-
gressman who got his iuforinatlou from
SVeakcr Crisp that Pirsl.lcnt-oU-i.-t . Cleve
land really believes there should bo an o.Mi-a
session of the Kitty-third congress ami If
the democrats of tlio country will only sus
tain him In doing so ho will call an extra
session. U is stated further that a lot of
"feelers" are to bi thrown out during the
next few weolis by CtlspWhitney. . Gorman ,
and others with a view to securing an ex
pression of sentiment upon tin- subject of
an extra session. The opinion of democrats
in congress upon the extra session problem
is about evenly divided ; but even those who
oppose an extra session say it is their honest i
belief that a very large majority of the dem
ocrats of the country if not indeed of the en
tire people , are in favor of an extra session.
This apparent feeling upon the part of the
country is having a perceptible inllucnco m
winning over democrats to favor the propo
sition. If Mr. Cleveland gets the notion that
an extra session should bo held or that it is
demanded by the people and ho is inclined
that way , he will call one , oven though con-
press should bo practically solid against it.
Tim belief is growing that an extra session
will be called for tlio early autumn.

There Is to bo a genuine revival of confed
erate interests in Washington. Since the
election of Mr. Cleveland a society has been
formed here for the purpose of "brightening
up" on confederate subjects , and the result
is an announcement today of a series of
lectures under the auspices of the Confeder
ate Ycteriins' association , to bo begun at the
Universalisl i-huivh , Thirteenth and Q
streets , on Wednesday night. This news is
but a natural se.iuencoof the announcement
made during tbe past week that the pension
roll would have to be. cut down.

An'oneriretlc effort is to bo made the com
ing session of congress to make the census
bureau a permanent organization. It is pro
posed to retain the superintendent , not
necessarily the present one , for-ho is a re

eliiofs , statisticians and clerks , \vbo as soon
as the eleventh ecnsus is out of the way

To Ilimiioulzo AViirrliiR Democrats.
Chairman Harrity of the democratic na
tional committee has promised to como here
this week and try to hannoni/.e the warring
democrats. There has for some days been a
bitter strife over the inauguration arrange
ments , and it began to look as though there
might bo nothing finally accomplished toward
tlio usual demonstration "which accompanies
a presidential inauguration , when it was pro
posed to send for Chairman Harrity and lot
him say who should take charge of the ar-
raiiRuments and how they should bo con
ducted. The democrats in the District of
Columbia cannot vote , but , they are con
stantly at loggerheads with each other ,
fjnarreling over some petty honor , and re
mind one of that body of 200 democrats in
the house of representatives , each one of
whom thinks ho. is not only the chosen loader
on the lloor , but was born to lead the house.

Tt is suited that a great many department
clerks who are not fully protected by the
civil service law arc making every effort to
withdraw their republican endorsements
from the files in order to make "fair weather"
with tlio incoming administration and secure
themselves in their present positions. Many
of them held oillces under Cleveland four
years ago and got republican papers in order
to solidify themselves with this administra
tion. Their indecent haste to turn face has
so disgusted republicans that it is being sug
gested that there might bo a betterment of
the service by the creation of some vacan
cies. The movement has turned many civil
service reformers from their advocacy of tlio
present system , as they hold that as it is
the law is but a cloak under the circum
stances to hide the hypocrisy of turncoats.

of the Iron Jaw. The Wltmomueea ( Xov )
Silver State makes the following report of
a recent campaign speech of Storm King
Yandervoort :
"General Yandervoort was the first
speaker. He Is a largo , portly gentleman of
commanding presence and great mi.gnetism.
He spoke with telling effect and was fro-
ipiently interrupted with rapturous applause.
His style is forcible and most eloquent. It
Is argumentative , pathetic , sarcastic and
flashing with witticism and humor. Ills voice
is deep , full and sonorous. As a speaker hu
must he heard to have n conception
of his oratorical powers , us no pen can do
him Justice. Wo can conceive of no fitter
illustration than to compare him while In
the rostrum to the storm king of the plains
along the valley of the' Pintleof Ids own
state. As he rises and surveys the audience
there is the stillness of death's chamber
throughout the multitude : not a move or
rustle or the throbbing of the heart dis
turbs the solemn silence , and his majestic
appearance inspires awe and admiration , all
betokening the coming hurricane He
speaks ; the low rumbling of his voice
catehes the ear like the signal gun before
the shock of battle now a Hash of
lightning sweeps over the stillness ,
clouds of eloquence , pathos and fire
move and sway and heave with their
outer edges crimsoned with the livid
glare rellcrled from the bosom of the storm
center ; packs of artillery are moved to the
right and to the left ; the black veil of du-
lilicity behind which the old parties have
been concealing their naked deformity is
rent in twain by a blinding Hash , which is
followed by the deep-toned thunders as of a
cannon , reverberating through the frightful
vault of party corruption , treachery and ty
ranny. Onward and forward the storm king
moves with increased velocity. The whole
canopy is illuminated by a pyrotcclmir dis
play , of indescribable beauty , grandeur and
awful sublimity ; the iloodgates are opened ,
the panorama moves onward , changing its
various scenes as it advances , leaving in its ' ' 4
wake the refreshing and life-sustaining wat
ers of heaven. "

Every intelligent partisan in the state
sees and knows the advantages that would
follow a union between the democrats and
the independents in organizing the legisla
ture. In no state but Nebraska would any
thing else be expected , or oven possible. In
Kansas a majority of one is taken for granted
to bo ample to beat the republicans , but m
Nebraska plans to hoodwink or buy a sulli-
cient number of the opposition to carry out
republican designs are discussed as
coolly as the purchase of as many
cattle. The chances of success are guessed
at and bet upon as though it were a per
fectly legitimate and natural transaction.
Hut let it bo well nndersto6d by every mem-
'bor-of the legislature not a republican that
the people will stand no treachery. No
guilty democrat can expect future recog
nition or affiliation with his party. Any in
dependent lending himself to republican
schemes bettor make a sale of it , like Tulor. , .
and rnko-olT enough cash to take him out ot
a state that will thereafter bo too hot to
hold him.
