THE WESTERN BANKING INTEREST I

THE WESTERN BANKING INTEREST.
The relative financial Importance Of
the western states, as shown by the bank
statistics just issued from the Office OF
the comptroller OF the currency, will be
both surprising and interesting TO most
people who concern themselves regard
ing matters OF this character. The re-
ports OF the national banks were for the
Goth OF February Of this year, at which
date there were twelve hundred and
seventeen banks in the western states.
This was nearly double the number in
the New England and middle states,
more than twice the number in the
middle and southern states, and very
nearly equal to the number in the
middle, southern and Pacific States.
The whole number Of national banks in
the country, February 26, was three
thousand one hundred and seventy, SO
that the western states had within three
hundred and sixty-eight OF one half the
national banks in the country.
In the amount of capital the middle
states exceeded the western by seven
teen million dollars, but the western
states were ahead of every other sec
tion. They were also largely ahead Of
all but the middle states in the amount
of deposits and the amount of
loans and discounts. In surplus and
profits the New England and the mid
die states make larger showing than
the western. These figures conspicu-
ously exhibit the great Importance of
the western states in the financial af-
fairs of the nation, ana the strength of
these states in this respect is growing
steadily and more rapidly than that of
any other section.

crease during the past year did not APP
proach that OF the two previous years.
In 1887, the year Of our greatest growth,
the increase amounted to twenty-one
thousand, four hundred and forty-nine;
In 1888, twenty thousand, four hundred
and forty-nine, and in 1889, eight
thousand, three hundred and forty
three. Estimating the population of
South Omaha at ten thousand, the popu-
lauon Of the county outside Of the twin
cities is fourteen thousand and seven.
The census shows very clearly the
drift eff the residence population of
Omaha. Senator Manderson has
recently asserted that the trend
OF business and population in
Omaha was north and west. No statis-
tics were furnished to support the
claim, for the very important reason
that none could be had. The truth is
that the school census for the past four
years proves conclusively that the ma
jority of the population is south OF
Farnam street. In 1885, the population
south OF that street was thirty-three
thousand and ninety-six; north side,
twenty-nine thousand five hundred and
fifteen. difference of three thousand
five hundred and eighty-four in favor
OF the south. In the succeeding two
years the population of the south side
increase ed to forty-three thousand three
hundred and eighty-three; north
side, thirty-eight thousand SIX hundred
and eighty, difference OF
four thousand seven hundred and three.
Up to April of the present year the
south side increased to sixty thousand
and tifty-nine, north side to fifty-one
thousand four hundred and ninety-nine,
a preponderance of eight thousand five
hundred and sixty in favor Of the south
side.
These figures are based on an equal
division of the population of the Third,
Fourth and Ninth wards, which is a fair
proportion, with Farnam street as the
dividing line. They prove beyond any
doubt that the trend of poulation is to
the south and west.

PERHAPS the news of the opening to
settlement of the new territory, with
the knowledge that four new states are
to be admitted into the union this year,
will account for the stimulus which en-
igration from Europe to the United
States has suddenly received. 1t is au-
thoritatively stated that last week
twenty thousand persons left the vari
Gus parts of Europe for this country,
while engagements were made which
indicate that the tide of new comers is
likely to be maintained at large figures
for some time to come. There is cer-
tainly no attraction for these peo-
pie in the present industrial condi-
tion of the country, but as
many of them as come with the means
to provide themselves with homes will
find in the west the opportunity to do
so. 1t is to be supposed that these emf
grants are generally of character to
be acceptable to us, since it has come to
be- pretty thoroughly understood that
the day has gone by when European
countries can unload upon us their pau
pers, criminals and other Objectionable
classes. A short time ago it appeared
that the immigration of the present
year was likely to show a considerable
falling off as compared with last year,
but the present indications are that it
will equal, if not exceed, that of 1888.

THERE could perhaps be no better
evidence of the fact that prohibition
does not prohibit than is supplied by
the internal revenue statistics in regard
to the liquor traffic in Kansas. These
show that in the last year of license,
1881, the number of tax stamps issued to
liquor dealers was less than nineteen
hundred, while in 1887 the number was
nearly three thousand, there having
been steady annual increase from the
second year of prohibition, 1888. These
figures show that there has been more
drinking since than before prohibition,
except during the first year of that
policy, and they are indisputable. Pro-
hibition in Kansas has been good
thing only for the revenues of the gem
eral government.

Mr.. GEORGE w. ELLIOTT, statis-
tician of Rochester, N. Y, has been
making a study of the growth of taxes
in our cities, and finds that the average
tax per capita is about eleven dollars,
while the average per capita of net in
debtedness is twenty-six dollars. New
York City, according to his estimates,
has tax per capita Of twenty-one dol
lars, Philadelphia of ten dollars, Chi
cago seven dollars and seventy-fve
cents, Boston twenty-five dollars, Min
neapolis fourteen, Omaha twelve, and
so on. While these figures can not be
taken as absolutely correct, due to the
fact that the population of many of the
cities cited was made on estimates, it is
quite apparent that taxation is too high
in our cities, due almost wholly to mu-
nicipal extravaganza.

THE opening of the Sioux reservation

THE opening OF the Sioux reservation
in Dakota this summer will doubtless
furnish repetition of the stampede of
land hunters to Oklahoma. 1t is esti-
mated that twelve million acres of land
will be added to the public domain, if
the Indians consent. The commits
sion recently appointed by the govern
ment will proceed to Dakota early next
month to negotiate for the land, and
the sentiments expressed by the leading
chiefs OF the tribes foreshadow success.
The land. however, will not be thrown
open to settlement on condition similar
to Oklahoma. 1t will be sold at a price
fixed by congress, and the purchaser
must in addition comply with the home
stead law. This provision is intended
TO shut out spectators and encourage
bona fde settlers.

THE DRIFT OF POPULATION.

The census of Douglas county just
complied by the county superintendent,
confirms the deductions made by THE
BEE that the growth of population rs
substantial and permanent. The emu
meration of school children in past
years furnished correct basis for an es-
innate OF the population. In 1885, there
were eleven thousand two hundred and
two children OF school age in Omaha.
Multiplying this number by five and
one-nalf, the usual ratio, the population
of the city was sixty-one thousand six
hundred and eleven. These figures
were confirmed by the state census
taken three months later (sixty-one thou
sand eight hundred and thirty-fvel.
The enumeration for 1889 shows total
of twenty thousand two hundred and
eighty-three children in Omaha,
or population OF one hum
