VIEW NEBRdSKA DIOCESE.


An indication of the rapid growth OF
the west is shown in tho increased
church facilities demanded by the
various religious denominations west OF
the Mississippi river. During the past
three years the Roman Catholic, Epis-
copal and Methodist churches have all
been obliged to create new episcopal
dioceses in order to relieve the bishops
of the ever-accumulatiug weight of
supervision uevolving upon them
by the growth and upbuild-
ing of our western commou-
wealths. The Roman Catholic church
was the first to divide Nebraska, and to
divide Bishop O'Connor's duties by the
setting of of portion of the state
into new diocese, with Bishop Bona
cum as its head, and Lincoln as its see
city. This was followed later by the
selection OF Omaha as the residence of
Bishop John Z. Newman, In order that
this portion of the west, and especially
Nebraska, might receive more thor
ough supervision. 7't'
And now the great triennial Episco-
pal convention, upon the initiative Of
the Hon. James M. .Woolworth and
Bishop Worthington, and with the
hearty cooperation. Of all western dele
gates, both clerical and lay. has hon
ored Nebraska by giving it another
bishopric, and making Kearney, one of
its most enterprising aud thriving
cities, the seat of the episcopal chair.
The arguments made in favor OF this
important change are fullof interest to
all who have at heart the edevelopment
of church interests in the west.
Mr.. Woblworth's speech, which was
largely instrumental in carrying the
day, bristled with facts and figures
showing the remarkable development
OF the Episcopal church throughout our
entire state and the rapid strides which
it was making, particularly in the west
ern section.
The new diocese will be denominated
the diocese of Western Nebraska and
Kearney," and will have iurisdiction
over six hundred thousand people. Its
bishop, who was chosen on "Wednesday
evening, is the Right Reverend Aaron
Il. Graves, OF Minneapolis, a clergyman
who is universally Beloved by all with
whom he has come in contact. He is
known alike for his piety and learning,
his admirable address, and his power of
making friends.

THE GROWTH OF WYoMING.

Omaha and Nebraska are vitally in
terested in the progress of Wyoming.
Our people have shown their faith in
her future by investing their means in
her mines and fields, and they take q
fatherly pride in noting her marvellous
progress from cattle range to rich
aud powerful territory, rapidly ap-
preaching statehood.
The annual report of Governor War
rem presents a gratifying exhibit of the
substantial growth of the territory.
Governor Warren vigorously refutes
the slanders of his predecessor from
Kentucky and asserts that the popula-
tion of the territory is fully one hun
dred thousand, against a fraction over
twenty thousand in 1880. The assessed
valuation of all property in
1888 was thirty-oue and a-half
millions, against eight and a-half
millions in 1880 and seven mil
lions in 1870. These figures repre-
sent one-third to one-fourth the actual
value of all property, so that it is safe
to say that the actual value of lands and
personal property now exceeds one hun
dred millions. The great difference in
the growth of taxable wealth in the ten
years preceding 1880 and the past eight
years is easily accounted for. In that
decade the wealth of the territory was
in the vast herds which made the Lar
annie plains famous and enriched thou
sands OF stockmen. 1t was difficult to
accurately determine the number of
cattle in the territory for tax purposes,
rs the herds diminished or en-
tirely disappeared when the assessor
made his rounds. Since 1880,
and especially during the past
five years settlers have crowded INFO
tho domain of the cattle kings, broken
up the vast ranches covering hundreds
of miles and placed the business on a
safe systematic basis. The cattle busi-
ness has not materially decreased. 1t
is divided among larger number OF peo-
pie, n majority OF whom combine farm
ing and stock raising, and provide win
ter feeding, thus escaping the disasters
which severe winters entail on roaming
herds. This combination of farming
and stock raising, says the governor,
will greatly increase the number OF
cattle and also the grand weight, quail
ity and profits in the territory until
there shall be more cattle raised IN Wy
oming than at any time in the past.n
The progress shown by these statistics
is primarily due to the development OF
the agricultural and mineral resources
of the territory, Both are in their in
fancy. A large section of the territory
is susceptible OF cultivation without
artificial aids, but irrigation has
already added thousands of acres to
the farming area, and 1t is certain to
become robust factor in the progress
OF the future. The mineral wealth of
the territory can not be estimated.
What little OF the country has been
prosDected or partially developed shows
vast mountains ana beds OF coal, iron
ore, fields of oil equaling Pennsyl-
yania, lakes of soda, quarries OF the
finest marble and granite, aud mines OF
gold and silver. All this win in due
time contribute enormously to the
growth in wealth and population of the
territory, which to-day is one of the

WHAT THEY HAVE SEEN.

The delegates to the three Americas
conference have travelled more than
two thousand miles between the At
lantic seaboard and the Missouri river.
They have visited n number OF the
most enterprising and progressive cities
in the country, and been most hospita-
bly, received and entertained in all OF
them. They have inspected a great
variety OF industries, some OF them the
most extensive in the world. They
have seen vast manufacturing esbiish-
mcnts employing armies of working
mon in which nearly or quite oil the
machinery employed is OF American in
vcntion. They have witnessed the evil
dences of an energy and enterprise such
as no other people on earth can show
and they have already learned that this
country has at command the resources
and the ability to meet every demand
upon 1T, with limitless possibilities OF
future development.
Yet these foreign visitors have
travcrsed only q small part OF the
territorial domain OF this great
nation. Here in Omaha they
arc within one hundred and
fifty miles Of the center of the republic,
and beyond this westward and north
and south there is an imperial region
which has contributed immensely to
the prosperity and material power of
the nation, and whose enormous undo
veloped resources will in the course OF
time swell the country's wealth to many
times its present volume. They have
seen nothing Of that great agricultural
territory which is now almost capable
of supplying food for the world,
or OF the great areas OF
mineral wealth yet untouched, which
within another generation will furnish
the means for the building OF prosper
Gus cities and supsisting millions of
people. The wonderful industrial
development they have witnessed,
century, may be. eclipsed before
another half century is passed in the
region that lies west of this central
valley of tho nation. 1t has all the re-
sources necessary to the attain
ment of imperial greatnes in
industrial achievement, and room
for two hundred millions
OF people. Its possibilities are beyond
computation, and its future progress in
development promises to be almost with
out precedent in the country's history.
There is no depreciation of what our
distinguished visitors have seen in sug-
gesting that there are vast resources of
national wealth and power which they
have not seen. What has been shown
them, and what they are yet to see be-
fore they will return to their
own countries, will be sufficient
to convince them that the
United States is now amply able
to compete with any other country in
the world for their valuable trade, but it
is well that they be impressed with the
fact that there are still resources to be
brought into service of almost bound
less eXtent-that the great west they
will not visit will in the progress of time
be the seat of a population, wealth and
power equal to, If not greater, than
that OF the whole nation at preseut.
