What It-came of the luter-t moneyt itrCIOAS THIS TEAK. . While 1907 Is an "off year in pol itics, owing to the fact that no federal offices are to bo fl led by the choice of Ibe voters, nevertheless, there li con siderable goueral interest, in. some of the contests that will be concluded to morrow in the different state?. As a presidential campaign will be on next ytar, special Interest will attach to results wherever they may have rome significant bearing on -the nreaUlenllal and congressional elections next yean It Is noteworthy, perhaps, that unus ual attention la being paid to the may oralty contests In several cities. This is due, from a political standpoint, to the fights being made against politi cal machines, in both parties, whose outcome may be felt as a factor in the bigger campaign next year. All other iaBues In Ohio have been made secondary to the mayoralty fight at .Cleveland, where Tom Johnson Is seeking an election to a third term and is opposed by Congressman Burton, Who has the moral support of Presi dent Roosevelt. In this fight, Senator Foraker is acting as an Innocent by stander, but his, sympathies are sup posed to be with Johuson, as the de feat of Burton would bo accepted as a blow to the Roosevelt Influence In Ohio, and would encourage some ot the antl-Taft. forces to more deter mined effort to prevent him from con trolling the delegates to the republican national convention. Senator Foraker, It is announced, will enter the field Immediately after the Tuesday elec tion and make an open fight for the national convention delegates. The Burton-Johnson campaign is the most exciting that has been held In a city In the history of Ohio politics, and may have a marked influence on the presidential situation In that state. . San Francisco Is having a munici pal fight In which the country must feel a keen Interest, although the is sues are purely local. Dr. Taylor, who was elected acting mayor when Scbmlti was deposed, has been nominated by the citizens, while both the republi cans and tbe labor party have candi dates In the field. San Francisco is making a determined effort to redeem itself from the misrule that has pre vailed so long there and the defeat of Taylor would be generally regarded as a triumph of the old gang. In Kentucky, too, a spirited con test is on, the' reform element among the democrats having revolted and Joined the republicans ln a fight against the Beckham machine, which has dominated the politics of the state since the assassination of Goebel. The overthrow of the Beckham faction would be an encouraging indication of brighter prospects for the republi cans in next year's contest. ' , Maryland, la to elect a legislature which will choose a. successor to tbe late' United States Senator Gorman. Rhode Island Is witnessing a bitter flsht over state officers, with state issues only Involved. In Massa chusetts the republicans are opposed by a variety of democratic factions. The result thre will be interesting largely as reflecting the feeling ot re publicans toward tariff revision. The state platform of the party calls upon the republican's national convention to declare unequivocally In favor of a revision of the tariff, to be taken up at a special session ot congress Imme diately after March 4,1909. The dem ocratic state platform deals almost en tirely with state Issues. Altogether, there will be enough in this year's election returns to furnish plenty of Interest to politicians, even if It is an "off" year. 7 HE 8TKri BATPflT. Steel is accepted as a fairly exact barometer of trade conditions In the industrial world. The steel and Iron manufactures play such an Important part In railway construction, manu facturing enterprises and In buildings that a slackening ot business is al most certain to be reflected In tbe steel trade before !t Is marked In any other. Industry. The report of the Steel trust, for the quarter ending September 30, must, therefore, prove of special Interest at this time. The report in part, readsi- The net .'earning of, tha Vnited States Steel corporation for the quarter ended September M breaks all records and amounta to S43.t04.ZS3, an totreaae of tS. CS8.S61 over the corresponding quarter laat year. There waa a falling- off In unfilled orders of 1.111.876 tons, making the total on hand at the end of the quarter (.425.008. In tha previous quarters of 1SW7 tha Steal net eaminra hava been large, and those for the first two quarters of MOT were; Net earnings First quarUr ,.y 39,12J.4aj Second quarter u 45,5O8.70S Tha net earnings for tha third, quarter of IK ware. I3S.114.C4. Those for the last quarter of lM ware 841,7S0,U. Tbe corporation's earnings In the fourth quarter of the current year are expected to reach J5,O,0uo, and they may be larger. The tatal earnings for the full year will be approximately 81S2.000.008, or $5,500,008 In excesa of the year 1908. when a new high record waa established. The regular dividends were declared. The statement accompanying these figures, although not a part of the of ficial report, declares that the company has more business than It can handle, In certain ?' ctural lines, and that orders for r have increased rather than dlmlr.t I. with the assurance that rallrouc aro getting la shape to secure mouey for needed betterments. Orders for 1,500 tons of steel rails have already beea placed with the Pittsburg mills, (or early delivery, an,d estimates have been furnished for an even larger order. This proof of continued activity In one of tbe largest manufacturing In dustries of the nation, coupled with the fart that railroad earnings for the flrat half of October, in s:ite of ad- verse conditions, show an Increase ot 7 per cent over the record-breaking earnings Of last year, and the substan tial character of the season's crops, the continued demand for the products of our mills and factories, the export demand for American grain, and the practically undiminished volume of commercial and mercantile transac tions, all justify an optimistic outlook for the immediate future, regardless ot temporary flurries In financial mar kets of the east. LOVD KOISK HOT ARGVMKXT. When John Sherman was one time furiously attacked by Senator Voor bees on the floor of the senate he quietly rose iafter the eruption had subsided and declared In tbe low tone of volco, "All I want to say Is that loud noise Is not sound argument." This applies most pertinently to the situation in South Omaha with refer ence to the question of consolidation with Omaha, where the federated officeholders and tax-eaters have been making loud noises without saying anything that can appeal to Intelligent men In their sober senses. It was to be expected, however, that the "antls" would bellow like bulls, campaign with brass bands and try to break up op position meetings. That was their sole stock-in-trade when they overran the legislature with their petitlon-in-boots, carried down to Lincoln on a free excursion train. But the tax-paying voters of South Omaha, who have been footing the bills, should not allow themselves to be stampeded by all this racket and duBt-throwing. Even the "antls" con cede that consolidation Is only a ques tion ot time, but they want more time at tho crib.- The home owner, the worklngman and tbe ordinary cKlzen who wants simply the best government he can get at the least expense In taxes and other public dues may not make much noise, but he may be expected to walk up to the polls next Tuesday and vote for consolidation. ronCOTTEK COAOBATCLATIOHS. ' When the big fight was on five years ago to force more equitable tax ation of Omaha's franchlsed corpora tions W. O. Shriver, now republican nominee.. for county assessor, was In the thick of it. His name was one ot the two names signed to the petition that took the matter into court and led to final victory in an order for re assessment at full valuation. At that time the "World-Herald showered con gratulations editorially upon every one connected with this contest on behalf of the taxpayers. This Is what it then said : Congratulations are In order in Omaha. Every Individual taxpayer In the city of Omaha Is to be congratulated on tha tax decision and on the hops It holds out ta him of equitable taxation and ot better city government In the future. The members of the Omaha Real Estate exchange who took up the matter last fall wfiVn the Board of Review waa in session, who followed It through the sessions of the Board of Equalisation; who pledged funds themselves and secured pledges of funds from other ownera of real estate with which to carry on the litigation, and particularly the tax committee ot the ex change, which had direct charge of the matter, are to be congratulated both for themselves and for their constituents. This must have Included congratu lations for Mr. Shriver along with the others. The taxpayers of Omaha will, doubtless, remember this service even though the World-Herald Is trying hard to forget it. TERIWB1SU iy ItCSUIA. The assassination of. Maximoffsky, the Russian director of prisons, serves as a reminder that despite the asser tions of the Russian authorities that tbe conservatives are gaining rapidly In strength and that an end to dis order and anarchy Is In sight the rev olution ia still on. It is but fair to the Russians to ad mit that perhaps most of the stories of mutiny, revolt and murder, as re counted In this country, are exagger ated, but an article In tbe Novoe Vremya, one of the most responsible newspapers at St. Petersburg, reveals a situation that is simply appalling. This article contains tbe assertion that since the announcement of the first Duma, in February, 1905. down to last June, $4,020 persons hare suf fered through the ' terrorism regime and the reaction against terrorism. Of these, 11,144 were killed. 2,181 were lynched or executed, 1,1(50 com mitted suicide, 20,704 were wounded and '441 were objects ot fruitless as saults. The figures, which the au thorities have not denied, Indicate that the country haa become a revolu tionary shambles. . In the face of such statistics. It Is somewhat difficult to share the op timism ot the .Russian leaders who In sist that the next Duma, elected on a conservative plan, will restore con fidence and satisfy the demands of the Russian populace. The killing or maiming of 44,000. persons In order to secure the election of candldatea satis factory to the bureaucracy is not cal culated to instill any great respect for government promises Into tbe minds of the populace. Persecution has never proved effective In lessening the force ot a spirit spurred by a yearning for liberty. The democratic candidate for sher iff led the coundlmanlc mob in its midnight raid on the city engineer's office a few months ago. The people want a man tor sheriff whowlll not disturb the peace, but will keep tbe peaoe. A movement -has been started In Rhode Island for tha election of Unltd ! States senators by direct vote ot the I I people. In an emergency ot that kind Senator Aldrlch will probably call a little caucus and declare that he Is the people. .

The Detention, home of Douglas county costs the taxpayers more than 110,000 a year, and now It is asking the taxpayers to put up $25,000 more to buy a site and erect a building for this exclusive purpose. The Deten tion home Is a good thing but we can also have too much of a good thing. Some of the financial magnates in New York are disposed to look upon J. Plerpont Morgan as the Baviour of the situation, but most of them are doubtless committed to a Washington man who wears pompadour hair and lets his money do his talking for him. .

The republicans' of Nebraska are before the people with a record of achievement in platform promises re deemed. If good faith with the people counts for more than bad faith, the republican candidates are entitled to endorsement. It Is suggested that Senator Culber son be elected leader of the democratic minority In the senate. The choice would be a formal ratification of the title he holds by force of ability, dif ferent from that of his colleague, Sen ator Bailey. A reader wants to know why the price of butter keeps getting higher, when the number of cows in the country Is larger than ever before.

According to Hubert Vos, the Dutch artist, national types are disappearing, and all the folks In the world are be ginning to look alike. Still, you can tell 'em apart by their clothes, if you are particularly observing. Colonel Bryan says that all repub lican candldatea, look alike to him.

" In five weeks more the Hon. Joseph O. Cannon of Illinois will have the republican majority of the Sixtieth congresa on hia handa, the selection of Uncle Joe as speaker bolng a foregone conclusion. In spite of the embarrassment that he would naturally tern under the circumstances fourteen 1111 nols representatives have met In Chlcaaro and Informed Mr. Cannon of their decision to make him a candidate for president In the publlo Interests, whether he liked It or not. As they had conferred together for three hours Cncle Joe could not tax his friends with precipitancy, and there was nothing for it but to humor them. "Well, boys will be boys." he said with" a sigh.
