THE THIRD DISTRICT.

The judicial district republican con-
vention has repudiated the recommen-
dation OF the bar. II has declined TO in
dorse Mr.. Joseph Clarkson and placed
i'll nomination Mr.. II. J. Davis, OF this
city, well known lawyer Of recognized
ability and unquestioned integrity.
For reasons that are obvious THE BEE
does not approve the course OF the con-
venton. Although no objection can be
raised to Mr.. Davis on the
score OF ability or fitness for
the nch, the rejection of Mr..
Clarksou is at variance with the we'll
known sentiment OF the people OF this
district, who favor q non-partisan judi
cary.
Mr.. Clarkson is staunch republican,
aud there is no question Whatever that
his Endorsement by the republican dis
trict convention would have been
promptly seconded by the democratic
district convention. That would have
resulted in Mr.. Clarison S unanimous
the bench from all obligation to par
tisan workers.
Whether Mr.. Clarkson will now be
willing to stand as an independent can
didate, and contest with Mr.. Davis for
the democratic nomination THE BEE
is not informed. Should both of these
candidates go before the people the
contest will degenerate into an un-
seemly and disgusting scramble.
This should by all means be obviated.
The judiciary should be kept out of the
mire OF ward politics and our judges
should be placed above partisan rancor
or obligation TO partisan leaders.

THE present administration has rid
itself of one nuisance, in Corporal Tan
ner, but it still has its Hod Taylor, of
Wisconsin, who occupies the RESPONSE
BILE position of commissioner of Pacific
railroads. Since his advent into Office
Mr.. Taylor has used his influence in be-
half of the subsidized roads in cases
detrimental to the public interest. His
latest break is an attack on the Iowa
railroad commission for carrying out
the law regarding roads in that state.
The members of the commission have
written indignant letters to the pr si-
dent, and if Mr.. Taylor does not modify
the limits of hismouth he will probably
follow Corporal Tanner into the shades
of private life.

THE NEW ELECTORAL COLLEGE

THE NEW ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
The New York EUening Post presents
an interesting calculation regarding
the probable combinations in the elect
oral college in 1892, which shows that the
republicans will have q quite decided
advantage. Assuming thatthere will not
be q new apportlonment in the mean
time, the electoral college in 1892 will
number four hundred and fourteen, and
two hundred and eight will be neces-
sary for an election. The Post regards
as doubtful states California, Con-
necticut, Indiana, Montana, New
York, Rhode Island and West
Virginia. with a total of seventy-eight
electoral votes. Allowing ten votes
from the now states as sure for the re-
publicans, this result is reached:
Surely republican votes, one hundred
and eighty: surely democratic votes,
one hundred and fifty-six; doubtful,
sevcnty-eight. This would leave the
republicans but twenty-eight votes to
obtain from among the doubtful states
in order to be successful, while the
ueHloCEttS NOulu uecu lllGS -VWO NOteS W
win.
Thus the republicans coulu lose all
the doubtful states except New York
and win, with eight votes to
spare, or they could lose New
York and Rhode Island and win
with the votes of California, Indiana
and West Virginia, and have one vote
to spare, or they could lose New York.
Rhode Island and West Virginia and
win with California and Connecticut
and have one vote to spare. The key to
the Posts combinations is Indiana. The
republicans cannot lose both that state
and New y ork and win. With regard
to the democratic side New York is as
essential to the success of that party as
Indiana is to republican success.
This calculation, while it shows
that the republicans will have n
considerable advantage in 1899, does not
warrant the party in expecting an easy
victory. The probability, however, is
that there will be new apportionment
before the next presidential election,
and if so the changes it will effect IN
the electoral college will be most largly
to the advantage OF the republicans, as
most of the gains in congressional
representation under q new apportion-
| ment will be in the states regarded as
surely republican and nearly all the
losses will be IN the states surely demo-
cratic.

DURING the past nine months of the
fiscal year there has been, as compared
with corresponding time last year, an
increase of fourteen per cent in the
number of business failures throughout
the country. There has also been an
increase of fourteen per cent in the
assets involved and OF twenty-one per
cent in the liabilities. The large in
crease in the latter item is due to the
wrecking'of few firms whose debts
were heavy, which brought the general
average beyond the ratio of 1888. On
the whole, however, business is more
active than last year, and the outlook is
vastly better.

TIE IOWA CAMPAIGN,

There is no excitement attending the
political campaign in Iowa, but there is
a great deal of earnest work being done,
and popular interest in the contest has
been increased since Senator Allison
entered the campaign. The senator is
vitally interested in the result, and he
will remain in the fight to the finish.
His speeches thus far have been clear
and able expositions of republican
policy and principles, and will
undoubtedly be effective. Some time
ago there were intimations that Senator
Allison might encounter strong opposi-
tion to his reelection. 1t was thought
that Governor Larrabee would be can
didate against him, but the governor
set at rest all rumors regarding himself
by positively declaring that he would
not be a candidate. Another story was
that the western part of the state would
demand the senator, but this has been
shown to have no foundation, and the
report that the farmers were going
to oppose the recollection of Sem
ator Allison has also been dis
posed of as fiction. the fact
being that the farmers are rsllying
with their wonted enthusiasm to hear

WHAT EUROPE WILL NEED.

Europe will in all probability take a
larger amount of American breadstuffs
during the ensuing year than for
number OF years past. Already the ex-
port movement shows considerable
improvement, and later on it is
expected to increase to exceptionally
large proportions. The latest inform
alton regarding the European crops in
dicate that there is a large deficiency
in all the grain-growing countries.
The average in wheat for all Europe
to ninety three last year and one hun
dred and ten the year before. Accord
ing to estimates the wheat deficit OF the
AustroHungarian empire, which usu-
ally exports largely, is about forty
three million bushels, and there IS
proportionate decrease of all other
grains. Prussia. Russia and Roumauia
also have poor wheat crops, SO that
none of these countries will be able to
export to the usual extent to meet the
demands of countries which do not pro-
duce grain enough for their own needs.
The Indian crop is also below the av-
erage. This being the situation,
Europe will have to be supplied more
largely than usual, or for several years
past, from this country. This ought to
be materially beneficial to American
wheat growers, but whether it will de-
pends upon conditions which are be-
yond their control. 1t is reasonably to
be expected, however, that better
prices will prevail for wheat before the
next harvest, and the farmers should
get fair share of whatever the ad-
vance may be. The European de-
ticiency concurrently with q less than
average crop in this country ought to
result In giving American wheat grow
ers better profit on their grain than
they have realized for several years
past. This is one feature in the COM
mercial situation which helps greatly
the favorable outlook for the ensuing
wear.

OMAnA's marvellous growth in popu-

wealth, her magnificent system of pub
lie improvements, rapid transit, rail-
road facilities, public and private build
ings, and above all her enviable finan-
cial position, are the admiration OF all
who take the pains to examine the
history OF her progress. The annual
report of the board OF trade has been
extensively drawn upon by the eastern
press and comparisons made with local
conditions, and in all cases Omaha s
position compels favorable comment.
