We understand that the entire delegation
in congress from Nebraska is now urging
John L. Webster for the vacancy on the su-
preme bench of the United States. The
newspapers of that state are warm in their
support of Mr.. Webster. He is an able
lawyer and man in the vigorous intellectual
age of life; and this is great point in his
favor. There has been some reasons for the
complaint that the policy of the presidents in
selecting men for these places has been to
turn the supreme court into sort of museum
Of antiquities. Men have been selected at
an age when they should have been ready to
retire from the cares of life instead of begin
ming a career. This has been serious OBJ
lection which has been generally recognized
in our supreme court. We believe that the
states west ofthe Mississippi are not prop
erly represented IN the supreme court.

JUDGE COOLEY, of the Interstate
commerce commission, not long since
declared it to be the intention of the
commission to enforce the penalties
authorized by congress for violation of
the interstate commerce act. An OPP
portunity is likely to be afforded in
cases against the Milwaukee 81 st. Paul
and Chicago and Northwestern roads,
charged with giving illegal rebates to
a coal shipper. The country would
welcome an evidence of the purpose Of
the commission to enforce the penalties
of the law, and unquestionably an ex-

TIE condition of crops in this section
Tor the week just passed has been some
what backward. The cold, dry weather
and the want OF rain has retarded the
growth OF wheat and oats. The week,
however, has been favorable to corn
planting. In the southern part OF the
state copious showers have materially
advanced spring wheat and oats. Though
planting is much further advanced this
year than in former seasons, rain and
warm weather are needed for the grow
ing cereals.

MASSACHUSETTS is about to expert
ment with the English system Of parlia-
mentary elections. A bill TO that effect
is pending in the legislature. II passed
It will be the first measure Of the kind
enacted in the United States, and will
challenge the attention OF the whole
country. One section OF the bill pro-
vides that any member Of a committee
who receives or disburses money for
political purposes must give sworn
and detailed account Of the transaction.
The bill furthermore declares illegal
the expenditure OF money to influence
the action OF a caucus or convention, or
the result OF an election, or the vote OF
ANY person except by certain legitimate
means like circulating printed matter.
The purpose OF such measure is plain

THE committee to investigate our re-
lations with Canada, of which Senator
Hoar OF Massachusetts is chairman,
passed through Omaha on its way to the
Pacific coast. Some six weeks will be
spent by the commission studying the
coast defenses of the Pacific, the fisher
les of the north Pacific, the transconti-
mental traffic as affected by the
Canadian Pacific, the commerce between
the two countries, and such kindred
subjects as may suggest themselves. In
view of the Importance of the relations
between the United States and Canada,
the senate committee will proceed with
it's work with the utmost thoroughness
and the data to be laid before congress
at it's next session will be most valuable.
Undoubtedly the report will have great
influence in shaping the future policy
of congress toward Canada and in set
tling the disputes now pending between
he countries.

AFA1Rindex of the growth of business

AFFAIR index of the growth OF business
in this country Is furnished by the in
crease in the number of national banks.
Within the past four months, sixty-six
new national banks have received their
charters, as many as during six months
OF last year ,andonly nine less than dur
ing the four months of 1887. While the
banks organized have been mainly of
small capital, averaging about one hun
dred thousand dollars, the record for
1889 bids fair to equal that Of any pre-
vious year.

has undergone a change. and that the
policy Of the administration hereafter
will not be to appoint colored men to
Offices in the south, only one such APP
pointment to an important position
there having thus far been made.
Such is the inference to be
drawn from the action of the
secretary of the interior in APP
pointing colored citizen OF Missis-
sippi for service as special timber
agent in the west, and the statement
that this is the first of number of rep
resentative southern colored men who
are to be given positions under the de-
partment OF the interior, with duties
lsewhere than in the south. The be-
lief is said to have obtained in admin
istration circles, that it will be the
wiser policy to appoint colored men to
places located in sections of the coun-
try where they will have the moral sup
port of the people and will not have to
encounter the hatred that would con-
front them in the south.
On purely presidential grounds this
position is doubtless correct, but a great
many republicans will be likely to re-
gard it as a concession that ought not
to be made to prejudice and intoler-
ance. And it will not be surprising If
some objection is heard from repub-
| licans in the sections to which southern
| colored men shall be sent as public
| officials. We know of no portion of the
country in which the applicants for
| Office do not greatly outnumber the ap-
pointments to be made, and it will be
| but natural that the filling OF offices
by non-residents, however meritorious
the motive, should encounter the pro-
test of resident republicans. The ad-
ministration may see its way clear to
avoid any difficulty of this sort, but that
it is one likely to arise is obvious.
| Meantime, whatever the result may be,
| the disposition to give the colored race
| a fair representation in the service of
the government is to be commended.
1t is Justly entitled to this consideration,
and republican administration would
be stultified that did not accord it.

I'T AGING,

PLACING CoLORED REPUBLICANS.
No cne has ever doubted the inten-
tion of the administration to give fair
recognition to colored republicans in
the distribution OF the public Offices.
The only question has been as to how
this could be most judiciously done so
as 10 avoid aggravating the race issue.
The mass OF the colored population is in
the south, and in the opinion OF many
republicans it was desirable that tho
adm nj stration should give most OK
tended recognition to the race in that
section. To do this, it was urged, would
have the effect to strengthen the alle-
glance Of the colored voters of the coun-
try to the republican party, while ad-
ministering q merited robuse to the
dominant white element in that section.

The manufacture of tin plate in the
United States is believed to be posi-
BILE industry Of the future. The presi-
dent of the North Chicago rolling mill
company said in n recent interview that
this industry is much nearer being es-
tablished than most people suppose, and
stated that his company was preparing
to inaugurate it. In q short time he
will visit, in company with experts fa-
miliar with the tin mines of Europe,
the Black Hills in Dakota, TO gain full
information as to the extent of the
block-tin deposits there, investigate
the attempts already made to r educe
the ore, and secure specimens for more
scientific expe riment.
Careful investigation has left little
room for doubt that the deposits of
blocl1-tin in the Black Hills region are
very extensive, and it appears that all
that Is now necessary to lead to the
rapid development of this resource is
the discovery of a method for separat-
ing the mica which is COMBINED with
the ore. AS mica will not burn it cannot
be separated from the tin by smelling,
and, as yet, experiments have
not resulted in finding an expeditions
and profitable method of separating the
two metals. But as the president OF
the Chicago rolling mill says, the OBJ
stacles presented will undoubtedly yield
to American ingenuity as soon as they
are taken hold of in a comprehensive
way. With the immense capital of the
Chicago corporation enlisted in the
enterprise, and the full confidence of its
managers in ultimate success, there is "a
guarantee that nothing will be spared
necessary 20 achieve the desired re-
suit.
The establishment OF the tin plate
industry in the United States may be
remote, or IL clear way to it may be de-
veloped within q brief time, but when
ever it shall come it will be the source
of An immense boom to the Black Hills.
