THE GEN OF THE UNION.


The growth and development of Mon
tory Of the west. Possessing mineral,
agricultural and industrial wealth un-
surpassed, she has never felt the fever
ish rush of frenzied men in search of
fortune.
California sprung into worldwide
nOtoriety almost in day. The finding
of gold at Suffers mill was star of
hope, a rainbow of promise to the
Argonauts of 40. The men who braved
the dangers of the overland journey, or
escaped the miasma and marauders of
the isthmus we're men cast in Spartan
mold, and the commonwealth which
they founded and watched TO maturity
became one of the richest jewels in the
cluster of states.
Nevada flashed on the horiz on like a
golden meteor for a decade. sputtered
and collapsed. While the mines of
Virginia City poured out their treas
ures, she prospered in population, but
lacked the essential elements of per-
nancy. In the height of prosperity
she was the speculative football of Cali
fornia mining sharks, and the record
of her decline is a history of human
wrecks, despair and suicide.
Tue flashing OF gold in the sands of
Clear Creek gave Colorado and Denver
their first boost into worldly promi-
nence. 1t was the beginning OF the
influx of settlers which eliminated in
the wild stampede for Leadville, and
has continued to ebb and flow, in vary
ing moods, for thirty years.
Montana never felt the impulse of
mining stampede. The nearest ap-
proach to it was the Diamond City ex-
citement of the sixties. 1t was pass
ing fever, but it convinced the pioneers
who crossed the plains in those danger
Gus times that the country possessed
the germs OF rich and prosperous
future.
Time has fulfilled their expectations.
In the twenty-five years since the terri
tory was carved out of Idaho, her
progress has been gradual but certain.
The lack OF railroad facilities operated
as "a serious drawback for twenty years
of that time, but total lack of means
OF reaching outside markets served to
demonstrate that the territory pos
sessed every element necessary to sup
port a population without outside as
sistance. In this respect Montana has
few equals and no superior. Her
mines are among the richest on the
continent. The mineral wealth in the
hills surrounding Butte City cannot be
computed. Her treasures OF silver,
copper and lead surpass any camp in ex-
istence, and the supply is apparently
inexhaustible. This clusterof mines is
only fraction Of the wealth uncovered
in various sections of the territory.
The valleys OF the Missouri, Missoula
and Yellowstone possess tillable area
capable of supporting large
population. The amount of land
cultivated is steadily increasing,
and the wheat harvested ranks with the
best quality produced in Dakota. Stock
raising aud sheep husbandry are indus

THE phenomenal rebound OF France
from the burdens OF the war of 1870,
and the prompt payment of the miiiiards
oil tribute lowed by Germany, excited
the admiration OF all friends of the
youag republic. Notwithstanding this
exhausting drain on the resources OF
the country and the enormous expense
of maintaining vast army, the coun-
try Is in most prosperous coalition
to-day. The envious assertions OF SUR
rounding mouarchies that the country
as on the verge of bankruptcy is dis
proved by the reports OF the savings
banks. These banks hold more money
aud have larger number OF patrons
than ever before, clearly proving that
She condition OF the working classes
Was never better. And they are the
pillars OF the repIblic.

A CITY OF CHURCHES.

Omaha is becoming city OF churches.
In the race for the things material, her
spiritual wants are receiving due con-
sideration. There are, to-day, eighty
two churches, chapels and missions in
Omaha. and their number is rapidly
increasing. When the census of 1890
shall have been taken, there will be
very nearly one hundred houses of
worship in the city and its immediate C
suburbs. For population of one
hundred and twenty-five thousand this
would mean one church for every twelve
hundred and fifty inhabitants. This
will enable Omaha to make favorable
comparison with any city in the union.
This fact certainly must be gratifying
to the devotees of all creeus.
The prosperous condition of our peo-
pie is consplcuously evidenced in the
architectural taste and cost of the
churches recently constructed and in
those now under way. The crude and
shapeless structures of the pioneer
period are no longer in the fashion.
Though hallowed oy memories of joy
Gus bridals and christenipgs, or the
melancholy requiems Of the dear de-
parted, they are passing into
the shadows like their founders,
and in their stead are
rising new generation OF magn ificent
buildings, imposing in architectural
design, solidly constructed, and display
ing the taste and munilicence of the
worshippers, Trinity cathedral was
the first radical departure from the
jumbles of timber and brick of the early
days. st. Johns. the Congregational
and the Kourtze Memorial, are monu-
ments to the zeal of their respective
congregations, and would be credit to
any city. Brownell Hall chapel, on the
Tenth street hill, now nearly finished,
is undoubtedly the handsomest and
most attractive structure for its size in
the west. 1t is a model of gothic sim
plicity and solidity, devoid of ex-
ternal ornamentation or bogus trim
mings. The Pickering Memorial will
be, when completed, one of the most
imposing and ornate church edifices in
Omaha.
No better evidence of the substan tial
progress of the community in spiritual
and worldly sense can be produced. Tho
eleg CANT edifces of the well-to- do, as
we'll rs the humble temples of
the poor, all denote the grow
ing strength of faith in the
hereafter, for, as the lamented
Prentiss expressed it, SIT cannot be
that our life is bubble cast up by the
ocean of eternity, to float for a moment
on its waves and then sink into nothing.
We were born for higher destiny than
earth.

BETTER QUALITY AND SERVICE.

BETTER QUALITY AND SERVICE.
A comparison between the price of
gas paid in Omaha and that paid
in eastern cities would indicate
that, all things considered, consumers
here are by no means paying excessive
rates. While the rate per thousand
cubic feet in Omaha is two dollars, the
discounts allowed bring the price to the
general consumer at one dollar and sew
enty-fve cents, aud large users of gas
pay from one dollar and quarter to one
dollar and half. In Allegheny, the
heart OF the coal ana natural gas region,
the municipality pays iifty-five cents,
private consumers. not including the
discount, pay one dollar and twenty
cents. Pittsburg, which burns natural
gas exclusively, makes charge of sew
enty-ive cents. Cincinnati, Cleve-
land and Detroit, all within the
natural gas belt, or within easy
reach of coal mines, make rate
ranging from one dollar to one
dollar and a quarter. AT Philadelphia
the municipality is furnished gas free,
while consumers pay one dollar and a
half. Boston pays from one dollar to
one dollar and ninety cents, according
to the quality OF gas. Milwaukee and
Chicago consumers are furnished gas at
one dollar aud thirty cents. st. Louis
is charged one dollar and half, while
Minneapolis pays one dollar and eighty
cents. While it is quite evident that
the price of gas could be somewhat re-
duced, the chief complaint should be
directed against its quality and the
wretched street lighting service. A
better quality of gas should be fur
nished to the city and private consum-
ers at the price at which it is now sold.
The obsolete street village lamps with
their dirty glass panes should be re-
placed by bell globes of the latest pat
tern. which should be kept in the best
of order.
These demands can not but be recog-
nized by the Omaha Gas company as
just and reasonable.

AMERICAN SINGERS.

The recent brilliant success OF several
American girls who are singing in -Eu-
rope suggests that while the old world
holds unchallenged the supremacy in
musical composition, the new is supe-
rior in the production OF singers, par
ticularly soprano singers. The list of
women of American birth who have at
tanned emineuce in the realm of song is
much more extensive than most people
upon hasty reflection would suppose.
Most illustriOus among them is Adelina
names as Albani, Nevada and Van
Zandt. To these must now be added
as fully meriting the association. by the
testimony of the best critical judgment,
Ella Russell, q native of Cleveland, o.,
Sibyl Sanderson, a native OF San Fran
cisco, Mary Eames and Ada AIDING.
All these last mentioned American
girls have recently achieved distinction
before the most cultivated and critical
OF European audiences and established
themselves as great popular fayorites.
Miss Russell has been singing in
Europe for several years, but her great
est triumph Was attained with
in tho past two months at War
saw, whore with brilliant success
she sang the roles of dozen operas, re-
ceiying the most unqualified praise of
the critics aud popular approval so
enthusiastic that she was induced to de-
cline an engagement at st. Petersburg
in order To remain at Warsaw. Miss
Sanderson was no less successful in
Paris, whore she sang in new opera
by Masseuet, "Esaiairmonde, creating
the title role TO the infinite delight of
the author and the great qualification
oil the critics and the public. The
successes OF Miss Eames and Miss Aa-
ing, II less distinguished than those
of Misses Russell and Sanderson, were
still notable.

THERE continues to be talk OF possible
trouble between Great Britain and the
United States, growing out OF the Beh-
ring sea issue, but no such feeling
seems to exist in official circles in either
country. A member OF the British gov
ernment has publicly stated that the
report that war ships had been ordered
to cruise in Behring sea was not true,
and our state department lnanifests no
uneasiness in the matter. Pretty much
all the talk originates at Ottawa, and is
very likely nothing more than Cana

and very cheap commodity.
