produce like results. It Is not posslbl
to escape al a bound from the Injurle
Intlli-ted byJ false and destructive pol
Icy. It talii time to remedy the 111 ef
foots of mlsfiken legislation , continue !
through an e\tondVd period. It canno
reasonably be expected , therefore1 , tha
the new year will show at once suel
changes for the bolter as everybody 1
hoping for. There must be a change o
policy , but with this assured there Is rea
son for wnlldoneo In thu future. Wi
know that a process of tearing down Is U
be succeeded by a course of building \ \ \

which we now enter. Hence there I
warrant for the belief that 1S)7 ! will give
this nation greater progress and pros
porlty than It has known for severa
years , In which all Its people will share
Tliero is another reason for regarding ,
the new year hopefully and thai Is tha
it will be free from political turmoil. Tin.
people , fully recovered from the disturb
Ing and unsettling effects of an Intense
political contest , will devote thonisplvof
more closely to the affairs of business
With a policy designed for the develop
input and upbuilding of the country , cap
Hal will seek Investment , energy and en
terprlse will lie brought into play am
new lify will be Infused Into all the nr
lories of trade and commerce. The onlj
tiling that threatens to interfere with the
realization of tills Is the Cuban issue , bit
we believe the next administration cai
be trusted to deal with this wisely am
conservatively.
Thp promise of 1S07. therefore , is sticl
as to Justify giving It a most cordial wel
ronie. It will mark the beginning , there
is every reason to Ix'llove , of nn ex

Will the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition
be a paying investmentV This que'stloi
is being asked now by almost everybody
ami especially by members of our legls
lature. The tidal wave of mlgratioi
which began to turn westward in the
70's was not an accident , nor was it a
natural overflow of people out
ot thickly .settled states. Those
who are familiar with the facts
know that It was the result of
organized effort on the part of the great
railways which had become possessed of
millions of acres of land , worthless un
less It could be brought under cultivation
by thrifty settlors. Millions of dollars
were expended In advertising hoine-s fet
the homeless In Kansas and Nebraska ,
and later on In the Dakotas. Special
excursion trains were run , agents were
sent abroad to advertise the trann-
misslsslppi country far and wide as "tbe
future gioat , " and It proved to be a very
Judicious Investment.
The Transmlssisslppl Kxpositlou is the
biggest advertisement that has ever been
attempted for Nebraska , as well as for
Ibe states beyond the Rockies. It is not
a visionary , sky-rocket scheme , but a
well-planned and well-matured effort to
give tlio widest possible publle-ily to the
idvantages offered In this section to capi
talists and hume.eckprs who have
money with which to buy land and en
gage In industilal enteiprises.
A moderate estimate places tbe num
ber of people who will visit the fair at
from ! i,00t > , < ! ( )0 ) to lM)0X)0. ! ( ) ( ) The lowest
amount which these people will spend at
the exposition is : ? 10 per capita. That
means from twenty to thirty millions
sf dollars of money passing into Ne
braska through the gates of the exposi
tion , lint $10 each is a very low esti
mate. Thousands will remain throughout
Iho fair , each of whom will spend from
$ U to * > per day , and thousands
upon thousands will pass beyond
Omiilia to the Rockies and the 1'aclllc
: oast. It Is safe to compute that thu fair
will bring about the circulation of
:100,000 : , < K0 } In the traiismlsslssippl coun
try , which will be expended for trans-
.mrtatlon , lu the purchase' supplies
ind in permanent Investments. Thou
sands of people who visit the exposition
tvlll not stop at Omaha , but , having
traveled that far , will venture beyond
: ind take In such parts of the country as
ifford Hie most attractive Held , measured
> y the exhibits at the fair.
What will Nebraska get out of It ?
i'Mrst ' and foremost , it will bring mil-
Ions of dollars Into the metropolis that
vlll In- paid out to supply food and drink
'or man and beast. Who will feed the
uultltude ? The people of Nebraska.
The erection of gieat buildings and the
mblle Improvements In Omaha will
.fford employment to thousands of work-
ngmen , and they In turn will become
irolllable consumers ot the products of
ho farm , orchard and garden. By far
lie greatest and most lasting beiieiit
vlll be the Investment ot capital In f an
odes and mills and the advance In
iroperty values that will precede the
loldlng of the exposlton and continue
lornianently with the tide of prosperity
vhlch will How In the wake of the expo-
Itliin , Thu Increase In property values

ls.no parallel to tin- wonderful advance
incut made by Chicago since propavr
tions for the World's fair bpxan. N

such n marvelous transformation with !
a similar brief period. The crash o

cause the llond-tlde of money was poui
lug In from all the adjacent states an
from .remote parts of the world.
The San Francisco Mid-winter fa !
followed closely upon the heels of th
Columbian exposition , and , although i
was practically coulliied lo California , I
proved to be llnanelnlly and economical ! ;
a great success. It panned out. as wel
as any oilier Investment on the I'acill
coast.
The Atlanta exposition did not yleli
as great returns on the amount Invested
but. it awakened an Interest in the no\
south tlmt bus drawn millions of capita
Into the southwest and advertised th
resources ot tlio cotton states as neve
before. The Atlanta exposition wa
handicapped by Its environment am
by the scant support it received fron
the people of adjacent states : Nov

put more money Into tlio Atlanta exposl
lion that did Alabama , < U > orgia am

The committee appointed by the
legislation looking tc
i-aueus to propose
nu International conference on bimetal
llsm has completed the task assigned t <
It and will submit Its proposition to an
: > llir senatorial caucus to be held on tht
reassembling of congress. As stated ii
the dispatches the proposed legislatioi
jimply authorizes the president to up
mint delegates to an International mone
tary conference whenever lie shall set
lit to call ono , or when ho sou lit to re

for mieh a conference. It Is not con

liioslIon of doing so Is to be left entirej !
vlthin bis discretion.
According to Senator Wolcott. the
lialrman of the committee , who recently
, -lslted Major McKlnley , the president-
loot Is favorable to the proposition. He
iiiid in an Interview : " .Major McKlnley

iromises of the party and seemed pro-
'oimdly Interested lu the bill and what
, vas said about It. lie Is In thorough
larmony with the party and his main
mrpose is tbe good of the country. "
riio republican national platform
iledgod the party to promote an Inter-
latloual agreement for the free coinage

lieroforo , that if the proposed legislation
s cimclcil the next administration will
let upon it and that during the present
ear another international monetary
( inference there have been live will be
leid to consider what may be done for

Tlio question that naturally presents
tself Is , What prointso Is there of any
u-aetlcal result from a conference ?
U'o there any belter ro.isvis now than

WASIIINCITON , Dec. 31. The silver fcna
tors have b en considering ntnong themselves
solves during the Christmas teci'fs the u.ue
tlon of the attitude they shall assume 01
nominations to office made In place oLrllvc
men who were removed because of thcl
alleged participation In the recent campaign
and Imvu decided , with practical unanimity
to oppose conllrmutlon. Just how many nom
Inatlons there arc of this character no on <
seems to know or to have taken the troubli
to determine , but the matter has been plncci
largely In the hands of Senator Jones o
Arkansas , because he Is both n silver ad
vocatc and chairman of the national demo
cratlc committee.
Senator Jones says that while ordlnnril ;
ho hay no disposition to Interfere with tin
presidential prerogatives , ho thinks tha
In cases where there has been removal , jus
tire to all calls for nn Investigation of th
charges made.
It looks as If the situation which the :
will raise may ho the first nlnco the clectloi
to cause nn alignment on the financial nucs
tlons. The Indications arc that tlie silver re
publicans who bolted the St. Louis convcn
lion and the populists will stand with tin
silver democrats In opposing confirmation
while It Is probable the republicans and gok
democrats will support the president's ap
polntees In such cases. Some of the rrpub
lloans are not very zealous In their support
for the reason that they realize that the fall
tire to confirm democratic nominees wll
throw the nominations to their party nftci
March 1 , and thus Increase the republlcar
patronage.
The ofllccs at stake are In most case ?
pMtmastershlpa In the Mississippi valloj
statw , and include such offices as Spring'
field , Wnukegan and Kvanston , 111. ; Iloono
la. , and Henton Harbor , Mlcfi. At llentoii
Harbor the postmaster , Hainan Jnrvls , was
removed because he became a candidate foi
congress , and was on the stump In his own
Interest.
In the case of Henry Clavoncll. district
attorney for Alabama , bla successor , George
V. Moore , Is finding dllllrulty In securing con
firmation bcrauco he la opposed by sllvci
men. The silver men nsse-rt thcro ore In
stances In which olllcelioldcrs of gold pro
clivities participated In the campaign as ac
tively ns did the silver men who aroused
the displeasure of their superiors at Wash
ington.
In remonstrances sent to senators against
the confirmation of the appointees from the
Illinois ofilce , made vacant because 'of "per
nicious political activity , " It Is urged that
the men removed participated In the cam
paign to no greater extent than did Secre
tary Carlisle , Comptroller Kckel.3 nnd Port-
master He-slug of Chicago , and hundreds of
Dthcr olllclals.
Senator Jones says be docs not want the
nominations plsoon-holcd , or conarmatlons
ilefe-ated In any Indirect way , but that be
wantn them voted upon In the senate and
illrcctly confirmed or rejected. Ho thinks
the senate should pass upon the question
Involved In the nominations.

short time , and certainly before the pros-
: nt administration goes out of power. The

'ormcd that the .members of the cammlexlon
vould probably be Chief Clerk Ilenlck , for
: ho Stnto department ; Charles 13. Kcmper ,
; blef executive ofilcer of the supervising
irchltcct's oHlcc , representing the Treasury

ivlll probably be Assistant Secretary Charlrs

: losod the negotiations about ten days ago
nd the final draft was raado and forwarded
o Ian ] Salisbury. As It Included all the
catures which had ben ugrnod on between
ho negotiators no doubt was felt that a
pocdy approval would bo given by horil Sol-
sbury nnd that the signatures to the Instru-
nent thereupon would bo nlllxed at Washlnc-
on. It was expected that the document
rould bo signed coincident with the now
ear , but this expectation will not bo real-
jd and the signatures , It la now stated ,
annot possibly bo nlllxed before the end of
ext month. The causea for the dclny cnn-
ot bo Htatcd , but they are sulllclont to defer
ho consummation of the treaty. In the
icantlmo there Is no reason to bcllcvo that
ho prospects of ultimate agreement are less
avorablo than they have been , the delay
oubtlcss being duo to some unessential
