Tun fact that payments of county taxes

ALL ulTot-ts to regulate telephone

Tin : heavy failures that are reported
nt Sioux City will bo deplored not only
by the business men of that city , but by
the people of tlio region tributary to
that enterprising town. Anything that
cripples a prosperous and growing city
always proves a drawback to the towns
upon which It depends as feeders. Heretofore -
toforo Sioux City has been strong finan
cially and commercially , and she will
doubtless survive the shock.
WITHIN the next thirty days the
greater portion of this season's sugar
boot plant must DO put Into the ground.
The farmers throughout the state
should bo encouraged to sot apart a

acreage , as the demands of the
Grand Island and Norfolk factories have
never yet been mot , notwithstanding the
handsome profits gained by those who
were wise enough to cultivate the sugar
boot. Kvory state paper in Nebraska
should advocate sugar bjots and induce
the land owners to cultivate thorn. It
will pay. Farmers are yet skeptical ba-
cause many of them do not know the
advantages of boot culture and the
money to be made by it.

Tllll NlfAll.Kil'A C.LV.U , .
Tlio Nicaragua cntml project , which
has boon the subject of discussion for
many \cars aifd is mw b it little farther
advanced than it was when the ft.-st sur
vey was made , nnro than forty years
ago , is engaging the attention of Ihiglish
capitalists wKo are said t > ba prepared
to ni'iko a contract in exjunction with
the American contractors at a fixed
price to build the canal within nix
.voars. It is ropjrtod that Warner
Miller , the proildent of the cimpauy ,
has been requested to rongn and that
an ollort will ha m i lo by the Am j.-ic in
stockholders to infuse now life intj the
enterprise , even If the prop ) - > od trans
fer to English ni'in igo iunt dies not
take place.
proposition of the Kngllsh capital
ists is that the 15 'itish and United St itos
irovermnoiits shall hoc > mo jointly inter
ested in the enterprise by guaranteeing
a subsidy of per cent interest , payable
annually , on the $ ( i",000HJ ( ) of stock re
quired to build the canal for a term of
seven years , the company agreeing tj
return at the end of ton years
all the exponditnios made in this
manner. Tlio British government i *
said to favor this proposition and it is
understood that tlio B.-ltlsh ambassador
nt Washington Is a'lthori/.ed to conduct
the negotiations , which may require a
convention between the two govern
ments to overcome the obstacles pre
sented by the celebrated Ulayton-Hulvvor
treaty.
It is not at all likely that the United
States govornmsnt will favir the plan
of joint control of the canal. Popular
sentiment in this cnintry would
strongly oppose such a plan. If
the project Is feasible it should
bo carried out as an American
ontoriviso. Hitlr of the great political
parties in this country stand pledged in
their national platforms to government
aid of the undertaking , and it Is mt to
bo suppjsod that Great Britain will bo
allowed to take a hand in it. The Clay-
ton-Bulwor treaty , which was signed
forty-three years ago , expressly provides
that neither this country nor Great
Britain shall exclusively control the
canal , but it is clear that American in
terests would ho safer If It were
kept in the hands of an Amer
ican company and exclusively promoted
and fostered by the government of the
Uiiltoa States. It Is a matter of doubt
whether the treaty above referred to is
still in force , though the British govern
ment maintains that It is. In 1881 Presi
dent Arthur gave notlco to congress In
his iinnual message that a treaty hud
boon concluded with the government of
Nicaragua looking to the construction of
a *
the canal Act inllng t ) the terms of
that trentv the cuial was t ) bo owned
) > } tin gournmciiUs of Nicaragua and
th" t'nltcd .States , hut the entire cost of
construction i was to he Inrno by this
country. i This treaty was withdrawn by
I'-cBldcnt Cleveland in the following
year while It was bjf.iro the senate. If
It had been ratillud it would have vir
tually Htit aside the Ctayton-Bulwor
treaty , though It would not have given
the United States thu ' 'exclusive con
trol" which that agreement prohibits.
The ( "instruction of the Nicaragua
ship canal would unquestionably he a
great advantage to this country. It
would greatly stimulate the growth of
our commerce and would vastly reduce
the cost of transportation between the
Pacific and the Atlantic coasts. That
the undertaking would be expensive Is
admitted , the cost being estimated all
the way from flW.OOO.OOl ) to ? 110,000.000.
but It is believed that it would ulti
mately prove enormously profitable.
The action of the Tennessee legisla
ture , which has recently pas-tod a law
authorising state banks to Issue cur
rency , causes serious alarm among llnan-
cIoi-H and capitalists who regard this as
a movement to Hood the country with
wildcat currency. The Tennessee law Is ,
however , very stringent , and If adhered
to vUll make the state hank notes as safe
and sound as the o of national banks.
These notes arc 11 bo redeemable only
in gold or silver , and are to hi secured
by a deposit of 1) ) inds of the United
States , of the state of Tonnc co or of
the counties of that state with the state
authorities. The amount of currency
Issuablc upon these deposits may bo 1(0 (
per cent of the value of the hinds. In
other words , the state establishes a sys
tem similar to that which the national
government maintains in the national
banking sjhtom.
The preamble of the law says that the
purpose of the enactment is to furnish
' a safe , sound and trustworthy cur
rency , po-so-ising sufficient elasticity to
meet the demands of the manufacturing ,
farming and business Interests and ex
igencies of tlio times.1'
In view of the fact that a national
bank tax of 10 per cent on state bank
currency is Imposed under an act of
congress nobody is likely to venture
into the experiment of establishing a
state bank of issue under the state law.
The democratic national platform
pledged that party to repeal this tax ,
but that pledge is n > t likely to bo re
deemed for vcurs to come.
AND after all the furor about the
frauds said 11 have been committed by
the alleged lumber ring in Minnesota ,
nn the Red Lake Indian reservation , it is
suspected there will bo no public expo
sure. About all that will come out of
the matter , it is thought , will bo to put
an end to further manipulations of the
ring At least a Washington dispatch
sa.\s that this is the only purpose of
Itcproicntathc Baldwin , and that the
whole mutter is now in the hands of Secretary -
rotary Smith w 1th a recommendation to
this olToct from the land commissioner
The report of the commissioner , it is
said , vindicates the two Minnesota United
States senators whose names nave been
associated in complicity with the frauds.
It is thought , however , that a number
( | f men will bo obliged to pay for timber
.secured in violation of the contract with
the Indians and the government , and
they have expressed their willingness to
do so , but further than this the depart
ment has no disposition to proceed. It
would bo very difficult to induce
the publiu tj believe that either
Senator Davis or Washburn woio
guilty of attempting to defraud the gov
ernment. The action of the land oHloo
and the department are probably based
upon a realization of the improbability
of any fraud having been committed.
IT ib the opinion of men whose practi
cal judgment is valuable that the gen
eral business of the country will roali/o
this year a fair degree of prosperity. S >
far as the tr.iusp irtution interests are
concerned they will undoubtedly have
an exceptionally prosperous year , though
it is a question wluthor their gains
would iut bj greater than they will DO
if u more liberal p > liey were ad ) ptod in
the matter of rates than is proposed.
However , they a-ie proceeding on the
theory that they will have all the travel
that they can take care of and in
that case their anticipations will
assuredly bo reali/ad. The existing
financial difficulties are very largely duet
t ) the excess of itnp > rts over exports ,
which in three m mths lias created a
balance of trade against us amounting
to over $ ( iO,00 ) ,000 , but this is not
likely to continue , while the influx
of ICuropoiuis reasonably to bo expected
will help to turn the balance in our
favor , or at any rate to equali/o 't. ' The
recent failures In the iron and steel in
dustries has had a discouraging olToct
perhaps beyond what they should have
produced. Kxcopt in the transportation
interests , no extraordinary activity is
to bo looked for , but there are good
reasons for expecting generally a fair
degree of prosperity.
NOTWITHSTANDING the governor's
veto of the appropriation for the purposes
of cattle inspection , the Wyoming Stock
Growers association has determined to
maintain the work at the central mar
kets. The association has just issued a
cl rculnr to the stockmen of that state
assuring them of this fact mid outlining
the plan adopted. Tlio expense Involved
will bo defrayed by assessing individual
stock owners according to the number
of cattle they possess. Stockmen not
members of the association are to bo per
mitted the benefits of such inspection by
payment of an additional nominal sum.
The managers of the association confi
dently believe that under this plan all
shippers will bu as well protected as
under state supjrvislon , and that the
results will ultimately prove far more
satisfactory.
Tin : controversy over the summary

TUP. Union Pacific shopmen in Omaha
have adjusted their dllTcroncos with the
road and have resumed their places.
They are to bo congratulated upon a
settlement that will enable them all to
regain their old places and also upon
the conservatism and good feeling
that marked their negotiations
with the railroad company. They
did not gain every e ) iicossion
c intended for , but this was due largely
to the fact that the road had been em
ploying more men than were actually
necessary to perform the work in hand.
With an active demand for their labor
they might have won every point con
tested. This fact suggests the idea that
the shopmen chose an unfortunate time
to force a redress of trrioviinccs.
CONSHOIIAIILI : : : interest Is being taken
by those who have taken up timber cul
ture entries In the provisions of the
act of March . ' 1 , I1 * ! ) ! , with which the
local land offices are beginning to
familiari/e themselves. The act is con
strued ns exceedingly liberal in its
terms. It allows timber culture entry-
men who have complied with the timber
culture law for eight years to make
final proof and obtain title to the land
without paying for it , whether thc.v
have succeeded in raising the trees or
not. No distinction is male bjtween
residents and nonresidents , and Its IOBIIO-
lits apply to all existing entries , regard

IT HAS just boon discovered that
Douglas county hns , for seven years been

this may be an 'exceptional case , but it
is well known that this c unity is paing
an enormous stfmbf money every year
for the support of the dependent poor.
A number of cases of fraud have been
exposed during the past j car and it is
reasonable to suppose that caicful in
vestigation would disclose many others.
The people who pay the taxes are will

help to make enjoyable our
puddings , creams and pastry ,
which have been used by
millions of housekeepers for

These flavors di er from all
other extracts in their manner
of preparation , quality of

all injurious substances , their
superior strength and delicate
and agreeable taste. One

Did you hoar the husky howling1 of the wind
along the street ? Did you see
the prancing1 people as they
tried to keep their i'eet ? How
it whistled round the corners' '
how it galloped through the
doors ! It climbed into the
attics , and it burrowed 'neath
the floors ; But of all its beastly
antics there was one that beat them all. Twas the
fiendish way it frolicked through that hole that's
in the wall. As a matter of Tact did you over see
such weather. In ono respoot it's like our suits ,
hard to find their equal. Our own make , guaran

$2.50 up. Stacks of 'em.
