Omaha can dispense with quite a

Among the llrst measures that will
force themselves to the front Immedi
ately on the convening of congress will
bo the Pacilic railroad debt funding
bill. This measure will doubtless bi
given the right of way In the house bi -
fore the holiday recess , but Its road
through the senate , where dcbatv Is un
limited , Is liable to be rocky.
A passenger station large enough to
accommodate the tratlic of Hie nurllng-
tonlon road and one or two other roads
may be satisfactory to the managers of
the Iturliilglon road , but this city wants
n union passenger depot which all the
railroads that converge In Oiualia newer
or may desire to enter Omaha In the
future can use on reasonable terms.
The proper location for a great heel
sugar relluery Is Omaha. A refinery at
Omaha would stimulate the establish
ment of small beet sugar factories
within a ratlins of llfly miles on both

plied with beet pulp anil raw sugar In
KUlllclent tinantlty to keep It In opera
tion nearly all the year round.
The light between the democratic gold

one week from today tln > second ses
sion of tln > Fifty-fourth ooiijjn"w will
begin and the question as to whether
anything will be done to provide the
government with more revenue ami
stop the treasury dellclts Is the one of
paramount Importance. Senator Sher
man Is repnrti'd as saying Unit the de-
'llpleiiey In icvouue ought to he reme
died as soon an possible nml thciv have
been similar expressions from Speaker
Heed ami other republicans In both
branches of congress. Hut this vlnw Is
not putprlaliieil by all the republicans.
Some of them Insist that the matter of
providing ninre revoiiup should be de
ferred until thti'iiext congress , which It
Is as-mined would bt called In extraor
dinary session for this purpose Imme
diately afior the new administration
conn's Into power , rmlnnbtcdly n catt-
CUM of republicans will be held as soon
as congress convenes , at which the
cwr.sp lo he pursued will he deter
mined. It cannot be foretold with any
degree of certainty what the decision
will IIP. but It appears probable that
the republicans will decide to mnlce an
effort to siH-nre revenue legislation ,
with the Ulngley bill UH a basis , at
the coming session. H Is possible that
In the meanwhile the opinion of the
president-elect may be obtained , which
would doubtless be decisive , though
Major M'-Klnley Is mote likely to leave
the determination of the course to be
adopted to the judgment of the repub
licans In congress.
The situation that confronts congress
Is perfectly plain and If business rather
than political considerations prevail
them ought to bo no difficulty In secur
ing revenue legislation. In the live
months of the current fiscal year Dr. *
treasury receipts have fallen short of
expenditures $10.000.000 anil there Is
no reason to expect that the average
monthly deficit wilt be materially re
duced under the operation of the exist
ing law. This means for the fiscal year
ending .him1 : tO next , unless there Is
remedial legislation meanwhile , n 'de
ficiency of perhaps S'.IO.OOO.OOO. This is
a formidable sum lo be provided for by
future taxation and regarded from a
business standpoint II Is manifestly not
trooil policy to permit such an obliga
tion to accumulate. It would Impose
greater tlllllculties upon the parly com
ing into power In connection with the
revenue problem.
There Is another consideration which
oi'iiht to have a great deal of weight.
This Is. that putting off revenue legis
lation of the character proposed by the
ningley bill will afford foreign manu
facturers the opportunity to Hood the
American market wltli goods. This
would Increase the revenue , but at the
expense of home Industries and labor ,
which demands a safeguard against
further damaging foreign competition.
iicav.v iirui-'iM mi mniM niivc iti't i
placed abroad since the election anil II
the operation of the existing law is nn
dlstntbed for th' ? next six or eight
months and possibly longer there can
be no doubt of the advantage whlcli
foreign manufacturers will take of It.
It would seem to be the i'liperativi
duty of the republicans In congress ti
make a determined effort to SOCUIT
revenue legislation at the coming scs-
slou and If they are unsuccessful ( lit
responsibility for continued treasury
deficits ivlll not rest with them. Th- ! ;
course appears to us to he dictated by
both sound business anil political con
siderations.
1'poii Invitation of the Indianapolis
P-onrd of Trade a conference of dele-
gales from a number of similar organi
sations will be held in that city tomor
row , for the purpose of considering the
advisability of calling a larger confer
ence from the commercial bodies of tln <
principal cities of the United Slates In
discuss the question of the desirability
of n non-partisan commission to which
shall be assigned the task of formulating
a plan for the reform of the currency.
It is not intended to ask congress to
create- such a cenimlsslon. but to form
It of Unnncicrs and business men sel
ected by a general conference of com
mercial bodies. The recommendation ; ?
of the commission would be reported
to these bodies and if generally ap
proved be presented for the considera
tion of congress * .
This movement to obtain from repro-
'cntatlve business men their views re
garding what Is desirable lo be done
for reforming the currency system Is
entirely proper and It Is to be hoped
the conference will not fall short of ex
ultations. It Is a reassuring fact to
hid business men thus manifesting a
/ealous Interest in a subject to vthich
hey have not generally given that care-
'ul attention whlcli Us Importance
should command from all Intelligent
iltl/.ens and especially from those en
gaged in business. It is not the least
aluable result of the late political com-
mlgn that It aroused the business in-
tiresls of the country to a souse of their
liny lu this direction and taught them
he Importance of faithfully regarding
hat duly.
Nobody will pretend that our currency
system Is perfect. There are obvious
lel'ects In It , though It is not so faulty
mil defective as some of the theoretical
urreuey reformers would make It ap-
k > ar. Hut unquestionably It may be 1m-
troved , and the business men of the
oitntry , studying the subject from a
HI rely practical .standpoint , should bi >
uoiv capable of suggest Ing needed re-
'onus than the politicians. The confer-
MHV to be hold In Indianapolis is
Imely. There will be no currency leg-
slatlon at the coming session anil If
he plan contemplated is carried out I lie
lon-partlsiui commission of llnanclrrn
mil business men can have Its recom-
ncndatlons for currency reform ready
i.v the time the next congress will be
eady to consider the subject.

In framing the amendments to the
lew charter the problem of Inserting
iH'h provisions as will enable us to
epave those portions of our principal
horonghfares which have bucome Ini-
laiutihle by reason of hi'lug paved with
vooden blocks requires serious con-
( deration. While portions of these
fleets are located adjacent to business
uts that cuii and should be taxed for
the i-ii.st of ivpavlug , , 'licr portions nmre
remote from thi city's center would ul-
moit work conllscatloii of property If
the full cost of repaying were assessed
against them. The question which there
fore presents Itself Is how to apportion
the cost of repavlng without working
Injustice to the owners of properly who
have paid for durable pavements , nml
without ruining property owners who
have paid for the perishable pavement ,
but cannot stand the tax for replacing It
with more costly material.
It would bo rank Injustice to a very
large number of real estate owners who
were public-spirited enough to sign for
granite , asphalt or sandstone pavements
to make them pay the cost of repavlug
streets In which they have no Interest
exri pt us clllxcus. On the other
hand , the assessment of unproductive
property beyond the center of the city
would almost be uncollectible , even If
the property was sold for the taxes.
It. would therefore seem necessary to
devise some plan by whlcli the city at
large would bi-ar a greater proportion
of the cost of repaying , say one-half
oulshlo of the original town plat nml
two-thirds of the cost beyond u radius of
two miles of the court house. One good
result of this wopld be that pavements
In the outskirts of tli" city could not IIP
ordered unless they were absolutely
essential , and not then even unless the
cost came within the limit Imposed by
the charter , on the other hand , there
should he provision made that repavlng
shall not bp ordered excepting on
streets or portions of streets contiguous
to permanent pavements. The whole
paving question should bo fully dis
cussed In all its bearings before any plan
for charter amendment relating to pave
ments shall be decided on.
A street railway franchise in New
York must bo as good as a gold mine In
South Africa. A corporation known an
the People's Traction company has just
been awarded a franchise on condition
that If pay over to the city Its entire
gioss receipts. A company that would
agree lo donate all Its earnings for the
privilege of operating a street railway
would naturally be looked upon as a
capillihite for the bankruptcy courts
wi re It not for the fact that in this case
the promoters expect to make their
uioi'ey out of the Income to lie derived
as n connecting link of a suburban
street railroad , which Is willing to pay
a high price for an entrance to the cliy.
The Indiana slate Christian Kndcnvor
convention has adopted strong resolu
tions denouncing newspapers which
print Sunday editions and Sunday bi
cycling for pleasure. Indiana Kndoav-
orers are probably unaware of the fact
that the Monday morning newspapers
are made up on Sunday and the Sunday
newspapers on Saturday.

An item of news from Mauritius states
that the sugar planters of that Island have
decided to join with those of the llrltlsl
West Indies In representations to the g.-v-

sugar bounties paid by foreign countries
The object In view Is to secure some counter
action to enable- them to compete more falrl >
with thPlr foreign rivals.
The fact of It Is that sugar raising In 01

the Inevitable result will bo to very nearly
destroy the raiding of cano. The Mauritians

The latest aillablo estimate of sugai

There nro no losn than eighteen coii'itrh-s In

doesn't know what Is best for the state' .
Kearney IhiVi : The Oxnard augar factory
at Orand Island paid lt employes $1,000
last Saturday. 1'lty It In that Nebraska haa
but two faotorlta Instead of 200.
Donfphan Index : The Orand Inland nugar
factory has already manufactured moro than
3.000.000 pounds of sugar till * eonsou , and Is
still grinding away at the rate of 700 sacks
per day.
toIrflvld Xpws-llorald : Lot the farmers
abouti airfield carefully Investigate th
sugnr beet problem. This year's expert
euro demonstrates that It Is 'a prolltnbl
crop to ralso when Its nianlpulnllnn Is thor
oiiRhly undoratoHd.
Clra-ul Island Independent : There Is some
thing moro than the dUeiitalon of the tmh
Joct uccearary to erect sugar factories. No
braBk.i haa the- soil and climate , but wha
It needs moro now Is eastern capital an
capitalists' confidence.
McCook Courier : Think of It , dear read

ton to Secretary of State Piper mid want

law Is not repealed and tliero nro others
Again we say , think of It.
Nebraska Signal : Nebraska should rals
moro sugar beets and not depend so much o
corn.Vo hope to see more farmcrn try
few acres of beets iioxt year. They wi
bo ceiod for feed in any event and the tlm
will coino when those farmers who haven'
learned how to handle sugar boots will re
gret their lack of knowledge.
Kearney Hub : Tliero Is a proposition t
enact a beet sugar bounty law by llu In
coming Wl.-.coiisln legislature. Other weot
orn ntaten are moving on the same * line , am
this fact affords all the moro reason wh
tlio Nebraska bounty law Hhonld be re

and by nn net of our own shnuldi wo diver

Hastings Tribune : There are moro op

Cambridge Kaleidoscope : Some of on
populist editors are demanding the
repeal of the Btate sugar bounty. The man
ufacture of boot sugar Is tlio most promlslni.
Industry within our borders nt the preson
llmo and affords a shining mark for tlu
poisoned arrows of populism. Lot the deai

will never bo a paradlce for these enemies

Mlnden Gazette : The beet sugar Indualrj

the people of tliu stale know n good thlim

Farmers who have raised beets this yeai

rover an area of nearly l.OD.O ! ) 0 acres , my- :
Ihe Hoe. An aero of land planted In sugar
beets yields frtim ton to twelve tons of
beets , and a ton of beets will average 200
pounds , or at least ono ton of auijar for
every aero of beets. With proper encour
agement Nebraska could readily devote
1,000.000 acres lo sugar boot culture , and
Its sugar eroji would bo worth $ . ' 0,000.00i ) .
Planted In corn 1,000.000 acres , with a yield
of fifty bushels to tlio acre , and with corn
at 2.1 cents a bushel , would only produce
S12r)00.009. At present prices 1.000,000
acres planted In corn would only yield
$0,250.000.
? tanton Picket : The repeal of Iho slnt <
beet sugar bounty law would mean a rc-
du'-linn of ? 1 per Ion In the price , paid foi
beets , which would eatiso many who nro no
growing them to withdraw from the Indus
try and would havei a demorallzlm ; clfect
upon the production of sugar In the state.
At first thought when considering Iho mat
ter it mlsht seem. In view of the amount
of boots that tan be produced per acre , and
considering the prlco of corn nnd other
products , that there Is a good profit at rais
ing boots , oven at $4 per ton. and possibly
thcro would bo If the grower was always
sure of n full crap , their coining up to tht-
rcqulrc-d test , and then was Rtiro of getting
that erop harvested In tlmo to escape the
frost. Hut thcro Is a great deal of hard
and disagreeable work connected with their
culture , and eouplA this fae-t with the un
certainty of meeting the required te-st and
escaping tlio first freezing , causes people to
refuse to grow them unless the price In
vlow Is sufficient to warrant taking the risk
A cut to $4 per ton would moan that few , if
any. beets would bo grown In this county
le-xt year , and a reppnl of the bounly claiihe
neans that such a rduction will surely fol-
n\v.
Si-huylor Sun : The populist presa
of the stale seem to t.iko delight In
> iimplng on the sugar bounty. They want
ho farmer to understand that they are
rlonds and that the sugar bounty Is n
sehcMo by the sugar companies to defraud
bom. How many of the farmers about
7rauil Island who have successfully grown
mots kick against Iho bounty ? Some , no
loubt , do , but thoHe iiu-n would kick nuy-
vay. Hvon lasl year nt Grand Island under
ho unfavorable conditions of last season
iii > ny fanners expressed themselves satisfied
vlth the rcxulls. Many admitted that had
t not boon for their beet crop they would
lave had absolutely nothing to dispose of.
n the next place , suppose the bounty bo rc-
novod , who would bo the loser , the com-
lany or the farmer ? tinder the present
jounty system the suirar company agrees to
lay $ .r > per ton for beets , the sugar per cent
of which nhall test 12 and Iho purity 80 ;
nil It is BO expressed In the contracts be-
weon tlio compnny nnd the grower. It Is
also slated In the contract that should the
ire.sf.nt bounty be removed that the com-
iany shall pay but ft per ton. The extra
cllar is secured to the fanner bv the pres-
nt bounty law. Now by what kind of nr-
uniont they expeet to mnko thnso actually
nislng beets to bo In favor of Iho removal
f the bounty nnd compel the sugar eoin-
anlcs to pay $5 per Ion , another difficulty
vlll have to bo mot : In the first place , the
actory cannot be compelled to make con-
rods ; In the necoml place , today the con-
ract calls for 12-SO per cent beets1. If the
ounty wore removed the company could
cry easily make now contracts for 12''j S3
> or cent nt S"i. Then about one-half the
beelH would fall below nnd bo paid for nt $1
or lower rales. II might be well for BOIIIO
of those would-be farmer protectors to In

nnvorno:1 : Holcnmb. the populist chief ox-
conllvo who has Juat been re-elected , utters
a tlmoly ( icaurancc in behalf of Nebraska.
Ilo drclnrcy that no vetted Intcrrot In the

supremacy of populism In that common
wealth. The campaign threat of repudiation
and dobtoallnn will not bo executed. The
rUhts of debtor and creditor will lint bo
Invaded. The obligation of mortragea will
not bo Invalidated , and thei law of contracts
will not be nullified In short , the governor
declares. Nebrtuttn will not attempt , either
by legislation or otherwise , to put the prin
cipled of populism Into practice , but will
stand for -a loyal observance of nil ohllga-
tloiw , public and private , and fur the main
tenance of her honor as an American com
monwealth.
This sort of talk Is hopeful and encoura
ging. It Indicates that populist radicalism
will tint be allowed to run unchecked In the
nlntea where It triumphed on election day ,
and that In Nebraska , at least , any attempt
of Its supporters to destroy the existing
order of things will be vigorously resisted.
Governor Holcomb's words are the wlseit
that h.tvo come out of Nebraska wince the

honesty , nnd If he resolutely fulfills the
pledge Thus ftocly given he will have ren
dered n service of Incalculable value to the
