THERE is reason to believe that the
demands of Omaha jobbers for equal
rights in freight rates will be granted
by the railroads. The monopoly en-
joyed by Chicago cannot be maintained
much longer. She has enjoyed the
and has grown fat and arrogant on
trade which properly belongs to Mis-
souri, river cities. Railroad managers
realize the injustice OF this system, and
cannot much longer delay the adoption
of an equitable tariff to western points.
Omaha jobbers only ask for fair field
and no favors.

FIGURING upon the basis OF an arti-
Gle written by General NJ. @. Meigs, on
the future population of this country,
the Kansas City Journal estimates that
IN 1880 that city will have population
OF three million four hundred thou
sand. Upon basis of the in
crease OF Omaha's population, and its
rapid advance on Kansas City during
the last few years, it is safe to assert
that at the time mentioned by the
Journal, this city will have at least half
amillion more inhabitants than the town
on the Kaw. II you have any doubt on
that score just wait and see.

THE French elections on Sunday were
decisive in establishing the fact that
BoulaDger has ceased to be a potential
force in the political affairs of the
French republic. In large number of
the divisions reballoting will be neces-
sary, but under the least favorable re-
suits to be looked for in these divisions
the republicans will still have safe
majority in the chamber of deputies.
The aspect of the situation must
be regarded as altogether re-
assuring to all those who
have felt solicitude for the
welfare of republican institutions in
France. The elections were generally
conducted with exceptional freedom
from the demonstrations usual to French
elections, thus evidencing the intense
earnestness of the people, and the re-
suit is a victory for patriotic devotion
to the republic which will crafty all
its friends. 1t is perhaps too much to
hope that tins renewed and oyerwhelm-
ing condemnation OF Bulangism will
forever silence the persistent dem
agogue, but it will deprive him of all
power for serious mischief And with
his overthrow several other interests
whose hopes We're dependent upon his
success have also been routed.

MR.. JONES or FLORIDA.

A Florida man by the name of Jones
is in Omaha at present, for the purpose,
as he says, of establishing a direct line
of communication between this city and
South and Central America via Tampa
and Aspinwall. Mr.. Jones is full of
enthusiasm on the subject, and will en-
deavor to demonstrate to the board OF
trade that his ideas are practicable. If
he can show that Omaha can gain any
thing by cooperation and support of
the scheme he will find plenty of en-
thusiasm, and maybe some financial
assistance in this city. Mr.. Jones' ini-
tial or starting point appears to be that
imports now carried on foreign ships
and brought to this country in round
about way should be imported directly
to the United States in American ships.
With direct railroad communications
the cost of imports would be greatly
lessened.
Mr.. Jones may not be aware that
most of the articles imported
from the South American coun-
try are raw material which
require the refining and Transforming
process of European factories before they
become marketable. If Mr.. Jones will
give us a plan whereby we can build
factories to work up South American
products, he will have presented foun-
dation upon which it may be all right to
build the direct line from Omaha to
South America. There is no use getting
the cart before the horse. Possibly Mr..
jones' study of the subject will afford a
solution of the problem, and it is the
duty of the board of trade to listen to
his presentation of the matter.

EX-GOVERNOR COLE.
His Opinion Regarding the Work OF

Ex-Governor Cole, the county treas
urer, was sitting in his Office yesterday
at the court house when approached by
a REVIEW reporter to ascertain his views
of the work of the constitutional con-
vention now being held at Olympia.
"The constitutions given by kings toN
their people are their rights, bu lit Is diff
ferent when the people themselves formr
one. There is u danger in there being too
much matter put in one, for the reason
that if it becomes widely known that
such n thing is done, it has tendency
to cause people to think that the dele
gates are afraid of them in not giving
legislature elected by the people
chance. In regard to the prohibition
and woman suffrage clauses, and the To-
cation ofthe capital, | will tell you what
j am led to think, although you must

frage and prohibition clauses have been
rejected, that the embodiment of the cap
ital clause will antagonize the support.
ers of these propositions and have
tendency TO abort the adoption of the
whole constitution by the people at the
coming election. My opinion is, that
the location of the capital should be left
for the action of the legislature, so that
they can have it presented to the people
for settlement,
"Regarding the railway commission,
of course you can't tell as yet regarding
this matter, but they should not be-
given too much power, and all efforts
made TO invite rather than drive away
corporations from the state.
Il think our delegates are doing good
work and making themselves known"

The forest fires of the past week have
materially lesSened the danger to Muir
ray and so far as the town is concerned
every blaze has been of great benefit.
What is termed as the baseball fire was
the most timely of all, although it en-
dangered the two bridges and destroyed
some seventytive cords of wood. Had
this fire not occurred on Thursday the
hurricane of flame which swept eastward
along the ridge on Saturday would in all
probability have made it much more
interesting for Murray, and those
persons who had packed their
them to the "iire-proofs." Several days
before the Tiger gulch contlagration it
was deemed necessary to fire the big
draw-by every sensible citizen in town,
which does not include the constipated
owls, who prefer, evidently, to see the
burnt district between Murray and dan
ger from the southwest. Those who
have experienced forest fires know what
an element of danger they are; those
who have not experienced them should
go and take a look at the place where
from ten to fifteen buildings stood at
Raven. Not a house is lett standing,
and even the ashes were "burnt up"
While the fire was burning up the
Tiger draw on Thursday the tames APP
peared ut the head of the divide to Trail
gulch, and swept along the ridge to
Ophir gulch, and thence into upper
PriChard creek. Cinders flew like hail,
and pretty soon the mountains on both
sides of the gulch were a rolling sea of
flame. Every cabin in the bottom, in
Guiding the town of Raven, tor dis
tance of three miles east of the Cedar
cabin, and all but one of the bridges
within this space, were burned. The
California ditch suffered only slight
damage. For three miles it was filled
with brush, debris, logs and trees, and
on the east side of Bear gulch ten boxes
of fluming were destroyed. Bear gulch,
six miles long, was entirely burnt
out, 1t had q large amount of val
liable timber. The Cnur d Alene Flume
Company, represented by Jesse Coulter,
was the greatest sufferer. Four miles of
tluming and the trestle over Bear gulch
were destroyed, entailing loss of about
$4,000. Altogether, including the coun-
ty's, we think $4,000 will cover the
losses so far. But the danger is by no
means over. There is n mass of timber
about Murray yet. A strong wind Will
give the tiremen all they want to do
from the east, west and north. If we are
not wiped out we may conclude that the
Lord is on our side and "tempers the
wind,h but if the people were wise they
would depend more upon their own ex-
ertion than Divine interposition and
burn out the bottom.

Dense Smoke Settles Down in the

most Suffocating.

Long droughts, which occur in this
country during the latter parts of the
summer months, cause devastating fires
in the mountain ranges surrounding
Spokane Falls Not infrequently, be-
cause of the air being so light, the
smoke from these fires settles in the
valleys, as was the case during yester-
day in this city. They frequently cause
u great of damage to the trans
portation lines, as was the case
in the burning of the bridge near Mis-
soula, which has so delayed all the
west bound trains for the last few days.
Advices from the C9ur d Alcne regions
state that vast extent of timber land
is being swept over and the the fire is
encroaching upon the meadow lands in
the valleys and destroying everything.

Alas, the change! Coyle's hotel has
been moved away but naught remains
except the root house and Mr.. Coyle's

the county's history. Mrs. Coyle,
county treasurer, has departed to other
lands TO live life over again. In those
pioneer days women voted at the polls
and held office, Miss Eva Brown being
school superintendent at the same time,
but Judge Nash reversed that order of
life. The first judge of probate, Walter
Mann, alone holds the fort. Judge
Mann deserved victory for his pluck and
energy in those pioneer days.
