It seems ns If no one but n millionaire aspire to be mayor of New York , fact that he counts his wealth In the millions is the leading card of each of the principal party nominees.

" * Nebraska seems to be the only state where the republicans have to make their campaign on the defensive this year , rutting Tattooed Tom at the head of the ticket lost the republicans of this slate their golden opportunity. The Yale foot ball team was scored against on the home grounds last week for tlie llrst time In five years. The prospects are good for kicking- the bottom out of the foot ball record this year , so ns to keep pace with the gen eral Hiiiuslilng ot athletic records. There Is n touch of the pathetic In the wish of the dying czar to see his son married before his life blood ebbs away. Tlu > doubt as to the continuance of hln direct Issue at the head of the Husstan empire must be a source of uneasiness not the least among his many troubles. The mnk and file of the worklngmen of Omnha believe In protection to home Industry , but they do not believe In the Industry by which the penitentiary gang , In combination with the railroad highwaymen , has looted the state treas ury and ruled the people. The work lngmen cnnnot be duped Into voting' for Tom JIajurs because they bellcvo In the principles advocated by McKlnlcy. Itrooklyn women are making1 war on the demoralizing pictures used ns post ers for theatrical companies , and Chicago cage women are making war on the living pictures which the theatrical com panies present to their audiences.

Kx-Presldent Harrison has begun his Bpeechmaklng tour in Indiana ami It Is entirely .safe to promise some Interest ing ami valuable thought from that quarter In defense of republican princi ples. General Harrison never discusses political questions without giving them fresh Interest nnd n.t tract Iveness , nnd there has never been n bolter opportunity than now to do this. That lie will greatly help the re publican cause In Indiana goes wlthou Buying , though the outlook there fni n sweeping republican victory coultl hardly bo more favorable. All the re ports ngreo that republican meetings arc being attended by unprecedontei numbers , who manifest the greatest possible Interest In the discussion of the tariff , while slim and apathetlc niidicncos nro the rule at democratic meetings , especially at manufacturing points. ron LAIV In enumerating ( lie principal sources nt our national strength , In his speech before tlio MnrQiirttc club on the nnul- j versnry ot Chicago tiny , the ono point which Senator Allison emphasized ns I I much , If not inoro , than nny other , was the rc'veroncc for law among the great lioily of the American people. The Ainei'lean people hare secured the repu tation nniong other nations ns n law impeding and law observing people. \.s Senator Allison expressed It : "They OP nnd know Hint their security In heir homes and tliclr firesides , In tlielr nnd In their labor , mid In the vngos they receive , must rest upon the Itscrvnucc of the law niul the sup- uirt of the law. It sometimes happens , nil perhaps too frequently , tlmt In varl- MIS ways and by various devices the aws are violated. When they nre It Is he duty of the citizen nnd the state to ee that they are oiifoioetl , as It I.s the luty of the general government to see hut the national laws arc enforced , "pon this respect and veneration for he laws rests mm ot our great sum cos > r security. " Tliero Is a peculiar timeliness In bring- ng this polnl forward Just at present 'or the reason thnt the past year hns vltnesseil so ninny events that have mil the tendency at least to Impair hi * source of iiMlIouiil strength. The eeent agitation ngahjst lynch law , for ne. has certainly led a great many vortliy people of Great llrltnln , nnd not i few In this country , to bollove that he laws guaranteeing licensed porsuiis lie benefits of an imparthil Judicial pro- oh * are habitually violated as against it larlienlar portion of the population of i large section of the country. It may > Unit this agitation will arouse tho-io gainst whom It N dlreetod to a sense > f tlielr responsibility , but the one thing lint has glVen it the standing thnt It MIS obtained Is the fact Hint Its object to restore our reverence for law. Look oiieo at the long seiles of labor roubles that have disturbed the past welve months and we will see that they ire protests against disregard of law. Phi' great corporations have grown pow- Tl'ul by taking advantage of loopholes n < nir legislation. Their boldness In lefying laws and inducing judges to > \eood their legitimate jurlsdlotion for heir benellt could ii ( t but Incite their mployes to attempts to { ollow the ex- imple.

The general use of electric heat , light and power Is believed by those who luivo given the subject Intelligent study to be n possibility of the not remote future. It is to this end that elec- Irlcians are now directing their investi gations and experiments and a new ma chine of one of the foremost of these Investigators , Mr , Teshi , gives promise of great results. This machine , called the "oscillator , " lias done much to cre ate new interest In the subject of power production and to direct attention to the coinpnratlvi : crudity of existing appli ances for that purpose. The oscillator unites with the simplest and cheapest form of construclIon the capacity to use the highest Ktoun : pressures nnd convert the energy which they possess directly Into electricity , and the Inventor claims for It that It will reduce by more than one-half the cost of making- electric light. Assuming that the price of this commodity to the consumer is governed by the cost of making It , what a boon ( he success of this machine will be to the general public. It Is stated that the consumption of gas to that of elec tricity Is still us ton to one , In spite of approximate purity of price , but If nn electric plant could be employed In the production of heat and power by day nf well as of light at night it could profit ably produce current very much cheaper than It docs. A writer in an eastern journal re- inaiks that the general use of electric heat , light and power would do much toward raising the standard of cleanll ness nnd beauty In our great cities. In stead of having boilers and steam en gines scattered all over a city1 the generating - orating plant can be placed where smoke and steam cense to annoy the neighborhood. Then the domestic gain by the use of electricity for cooking niul heating , as well ns lighting , would bo enormous. There would , sis this wrltci nays , be "no carting in of coal , no dls posal of a'.shi's , no smoke , no soot , no dust to settle on furniture nnd tapes tries , no sacrifice of the whole cellar to the heating system , no martyrdom In the kllchen during the biinnnor , no tier } blasts from tln register , no vrlutr } breezes In the upper rooms , no bom bnrdments of Alexandria In the Btoam plpop. " deferring to the Train ma chlno the New York Commercial Bui h'tln nays that unless the Inventor ! . < grievously mistaken he holds in his hand the key which will unlock an In exhaustible storeof electricity at less than half its present cost. "It maj bo applied to the running of the aceai steamship and lighten nor of half the onrt of lior innchlnory ami more than mlf the risk of n breakdown In mid- cean. " There Is nothing more- ardently ooked for at this time than a chonper netliod of power production , and Ililn Tcsln claims to have found. If ho shall nstnln his claim , nnd ids past BUCCCPSCH varrant the expectation thai he will dee o , the most important nnd valuable vo- ults may bo looked for. That there vlll be further development In the titlll- atlon of electricity Is not to be doubted , nit it must be produced more cheaply iofore It can be brought into general ise for heat , light and power.

OK inn .Miuiutvi Tlie bulk of the annual report of the najor general commanding the United States army Is given over to tlie con sideration of the iiue.Mlion of Increasing be numerical strength of the federal nllltary forces. In tills report Major General .Schollcld takes a pronounced stand in favor of the enlargement of the irmy as we'll as for more liberal ap- iroprintloiiH that will afford a better qutlHneiit for tlie men already enllsled. The principal argument for this rot-out- ncudatioii is found In the review of the vork of the army during the past year , vheii the usual peace routine was In- erruptcit by several calls for active as sistance In ( Uieiling riots and enforcing 'lilted States laws , or rather the orders if United States courts. There can bo 10 iiucstlon that the army hns had more .o i1 during the past twelve months ihan for some time previously and that if there had been morn soldiers there night have been less for them lo do. To General Scholleld's mind the danger igntnst which tills country Is now to be guarded .lies In the constant Imminence if domestic violence of such a character is to warrant the Interference of the military authorities. If the army Is to lie regularly employed to protect Inter state commerce and ) o do the work which the United States inai-Hlfals have lieen accustomed to do the present force will , he thinks , prove altogether inadequate. Its effective .strength should be considerably Increased , and , he therefore outlines a plan by which this can be accomplished at n very small comparative increase In the cost. Two iddltloual regiments of nrtlllery for coast defense and two additional regi ments to patrol the long lines of rail road under government protection would moot the existing emergency. "Whether the army should be enlarged in the population and resources of the . 'onntry ' Increase and what Is the exact number of soldiers needed by the country today are questions ot expedi ency which those who have special knowledge of tlie subject ought to de cide. There seems , however , to be n fallacy In the argument by which Gen eral Schofleld supports Ills conclusion In the assumption which he makes that domestic violence Is to be as frequent In the future as in the Immediate past. He Infers apparently that congress In tends to enact no remedial legislation nnd that the old system of suppression by military force is to become the pre vailing form of government. With this peaceful citizens will be tempted to take Issue. The country will not. tolerate the regular enforcement of federal laws at the point of Iho bayonet. The people expect their representatives In congress to devise some way of reaching the causes of the recent labor troubles with out waiting for them to manifest them selves in lawless violence. Aside from this , the army seems to have been of sufficient size to cope with nil rioters of. the year just past. If there Is neeil to increase the nrmy It must be for reasons other than those emphasized In the commanding general's report : THK Vn-CF. Of WHEAT. There Is nothing of greater Interest to the American farmer than the present nnd prospective price of the world's great cereal , wheat. That grain has recently been ot n lower figure than at any previous time for forty years , and the question Is whether It is to lin- prove In value or go still lower. The conditions seem to favor the view that the price bus not yet touched the lowest - est point , and this discouraging outlook ought to command the earnest attcntloi ot American fanners. Several years ago the Into Secretary Husk told the wheat producers of tills country that they must cease their efforts to neutralIze Izo the low price of wheat by producing a larger quantity. lie said the onlj proper course HeH In a reduction of ncreago nnd piodiictlon to moot the lie mand of domestic consumption and n normal requirement for exportation "Tho American fanner's hope of re nuinurative prices , " wild Secretary Husk , "depends upon his gauging his areas in cultivation more closely to the normal demand and not vicing In com petition with the. peasnntnml serf labni of the entire world. " The Londoi Times , probably without any knowledge of tlie counsel of the late secretary of Agriculture , gives similar advice to the American farmer , and It Is only fair to assume that It Is disinterested. Representative Wilson , in addressing Ids constituents on his return fron England , told tli m that he had glvei particular attention to the wheat mar < et oC llicjojjl world. As the result of ils Inquiries Jie had round that the ox- rn ordinarily low price of wheat wns Ino to n universal glut nml n produp- Ion beyond ii profitable deinnnd ; tbnt lot only ft * the United Stales Increasing ler surplus export of wheat and Itiissln ncrcnslng ; her principal export of vlient , but Argentina Is coming for- vard nnd 1s now third In nunntlly ex- lorted lo Ktiropenn mnrkcts. Here , hen , wo lu > ve concurrent testimony from different sources , nil of high ' mitliorlty , , , tliat the low price of wheat s due to > AI'excess ' of producllon. It s not the so-called demonetization of liver or the alleged appreciation of gold that hns reduced the price of the Vmerlcan farmer's whoa ! , but the fnct hat the world lias boon producing this cereal In excess of the demand and lint whereas n few years ago American vlieut hold precedence In the Kuropoan narkets It now lias to moot a formid able nml depressing l-ompetltlon from he -wheat-producing countries of ho world , and notably from the Argon- Ine Republic. In the face of those facts what becomes of the as crtlun of the advocates of the free coinage of silver thnt the low price of wheat Is due o the nlleged demonetisation of silver ? ' . It not obviously nn absurdity , par ticularly In view of the fact that while wheat bus boon declining In prlco corn nnd oats , which ought to bo equally sub- ect to the Influence of silver demone tisation , If that exercise nny Influence , invc advanced In price. The Intelli gent American farmer will not bo clo uded b.v the assertion that the low trice of wheat Is due to the so-called lemcmetliuitlon of silver. lie will look nt the practical facts as shown in the > roluotlon ( and accumulation of wheat luring the lasb few years , together with ho competition to which ho has been subjected , nnd ho will sock n remedy for the low price of wheat not in the 'roe and unlimited coinage of Mlvor. with the inevitable result of putting .ho country on a silver baIs , lint In educing production. rtiTAIItXl3 ) THK I'OST.lh SKHV1CK. The branch of the government serv ice which touches most closely the In terests of all the people Is the postal service. It was never Intended that this iorvlco should be a source of rovomio to the government , and it lias happened only two or three times since It was established that the cost to the people of carrying ; It on has not exceeded the income. The service grows steadily with the Increase of population and business and 'the uniform policy has been to provide ample appropriations for improving and extending it'is fast , is there was ajdcnmml , nnd , as to cer tain features df It , even In anticipation of a demand , rAn Instiineo of tills was the cxtonsljinr'cjif the free delivery sys tem to small t < ? wns during JJio last re publican ajlmluistratlon , which , while Involving a considerable expenditure , wns a very great convenience1 and doubtless Oj cqjjHldernble benefit to a large numbers of-pooplO. No curlnll- ment of the service ever happened while the republican party.wns In control of It , bite on the contrary it was steadily extended and steadily Improved In efli- ciency nnd usefulness. There is * to be a different state of things under this democratic adminis tration. It has been announced by the postmaster general that the free de livery system will have to be still further curtailed , because of Insulliclent appropriations , Over flfly cities and towns entitled to this service have been cut off , and it Is understood the number will have to be Increased. Itcsldes , places which had expect oil to get free delivery will be disappointed. Of course the communities that have bad the sys tem nnd are now deprived of it will be seriously Inconvenienced , but that Is not a matter of any Importance to the party In power. The appropriation by the present congress for the postolllce de partment Is a little more than thnt of the preceding- congress , but Is $3,000- 000 below the department estimate1 , which is shown to have boon conserva tive. It Is an example of economy for political effect , and as usual In all such cases the people ( ire made to .suffer. TIIK llf The roiKirts submitted by the agents who took the census of tlie Indian Ter ritory nre said to show conclusively that the tribal relation does not promote the progress of the Indian toward civ ilization. On the contrary , It appears that Indian civilization has reached Its high-water mark among the so-called five civilized tribes and that no further advancement is to be expected by the continued policy of Isolation and semi Independence of government. Instead of growing better It seems from the re ports' of these agents that tilings nro becomingwor. . e In tlie territory , In dleatlng tlia thujndlans have gone ns far ns they din by themselves and thai without closer ; { association with white civilization theymust retrograde. Undei present comlftloifs in the Indian Ter ritory the Indians associate witli the worst Instead of even tlie average white elements , nmtlSuiJ , therefore , constantly under evil influence. Hciw damaging this has been' to''Jheni ' the reports of the special agents .Cully set forth. Tlie population of the Indian Ter ritory Is notfgjO commonly supposed most largely uutdti up of Indians. The census enumerifn gives the population of the eountrj'B o , in pled by tlie five elvk lined tribes aMrKjOOO , of which the In- ( Hans number'61ily fiO.OOO. There nro , In round niimbers.i.lOO.CXiO whites and 18- 000 negioes nnd persons of negio do- scent. Nearly three-fourths of tlie pee plu In the territory are there In suffer- ancer so that the problem with whlcii congress will have to deal applies ti : only a little more than one-fourth ol the population. Tlie reports say that the Intruders , ns tlie Indians regard the whites and negroes , nre living under such temporary and lawless conditions ns make It Impossible that a fair degree. of white civilization should exist. The Indians would gladly have this element which Is nolorlously bad , expelled fron : tliu territory , but this would be on al nest Impossible ; task , which Iho cor- mini-lit Is not likely to undertake. One it the special n pouts says of the white mpulatton : "It Is a lamentable fact hat a large per cent of the whites rowdlng into this country nnd mixing vlth the Indians have no better habits life than the Indians , hence the fainl- les tire not elevated by such nssocln- Ion , and whatever ot the bad may bo associated with the white man or voman Is transmitted to the Indian. " The same authority ttnys that many of he whites have but little regard for lie moral law nnd show but little re- Inement. A large per cent are Illiterate ovlng , ragged and profligate. It Is hardly necessary to say Unit hose agents ngree Unit tlie present con- lit Ions should not he allowed to con- lime , but how to remedy them Is tlie iroblem. The Indians occupy tlie centu ry under treaty rights , which they have lius far Insisted shall bo observed , and nibllc sentiment has sustalnoel them. I'o remove the e'vll ami deniorallKlng lemonts and keep them out would bo in exceedingly dllllcult If not impossible ask. Tlie situation is a repremeh to he country , but how to Improve it Is i question not easily answered. The general malinger of the Northern I'acltlc railroad , Mr. John W. Kondrlek , las sent out a circular letter to all em- loyos announcing that the Northern aciflc does not desire to take any part or Interest in politics on account of the strife It would engender , which would nterfere with the ellloloiicy of the serv ice. It therefore orders that all em ployes refrain from taking any active nirt In polities and that If any employes ire nominated fe > r oflioe they must re sign from the company's seu'vioe. There nay be divergent opinions as to how far i railroad company shoulel go to prevent - vent Its employes from entering- politics , ml there can be no disagreement ns to he advisability of the railroad abstain- ng from forcing them into politics us Is represontilives. : Kallronds in other states might fiiul a prolltablo lesson to he drawn from tills manifesto of the Northern I'aclttc , Who over hoard of 3zt r Iloldre-ge discouraging1 his men from Keeking party nominations to ofll- 'es ' In which they might bo of use to the railroad ?

According to the annual report of the iVestem TJnlo.i the company has "despite the hard times" earned In the llscai your 184 ! ! a small surplus over all charges , including dividends at the old rate.

So fan as stockholders nre conceroned , they arc unaffected by the hard times , which appear to have borne lown only on the public and the em ployes. The school board keeps right on openIng - Ing up new kindergartens , requiring the mployment of additional teachers , with out regard to the straitened financial condition of the school fund nnd the inevitable deficit staring it in the face. The board , It seems , will not bring itself lown to a rolizntion of the absolute necessity of economizing that Is to be forced upon It by the falling off in reve nues. What reason can be given for extending the field of the school system when It Is with , the utmost dllllculty that the Hold now occupied can bo prop erly covered ? I'uttlug money into less useful adjuncts means taking It away Crom the more necessary branches. The iialt should be called firmly nnd at once.
