right OF inquiring into its
management, there Is peril to
the holders OF these securities.
Speculation in trust certificates, there
fore, can mean but one thing. Not only
would great industries and business in
general be disturbed and unbalanced
from the staT, but ultimate collapse
and ruin would overwhelm the spocu-
lator holding trust securities. The
peril can be met by legitimate banks
and monied Institutions OF the east put
ting their foot down Immediately on
this new craze. In due time the courts
will anninilate the trust, and even now
1t trembles in the balance. The rest
may be left to national and state legis-
lation, which, when once thoroughly
aroused to the dangers which threaten
the people of this country from the evil,
can not fail to cut It's claws and shear
its strength Mt the demands of an out

PlSI' IL. REKENIrES

1t appears from official records that
the postal revenues OF the government
are larger now than ever before. 1t is
estimated that for the fiscal year just
closed they will exceed those of last year
by about three million dollars. This is,
in more respects than one, a gratifying
fact, since careful observation has shown
that there is close correspondence be-
tween the amount of postal revenue and
the extent of business activity. 1t is
claimed, and it would seem with
good reason, that the general pros
perity is as accurately reflected
in the variations in the amount of
postal revenue as in the clearing house
exchanges, the returns of railroad traf
fic, or any other of the barometers of
business. The postal officials assert
that not only does the volume of business
correspondence and retail trade carried
on through the mails increase and de-
crease with the fluctuations of business.
but about every feature of the varied
employment of the mails reflects the
influence of a gain or loss in public
prosperity, or "a change Of feeling as to
business conditions and prospects.
Unquestionably this is entitled to at
least as much weight as any
other indication of the situation of busi-
ness and the general prosperity, but
apart from this the evidence of "a growth
of postal revenues much more rapid
than the increase of population is an
interesting and favorable showing. 1t
cannot fail to have an important bear
ing upon the question Of reducing let
ter postage to one cent, which will un-
doubtedly receive the attention OF the
next congress. The postal authorities
are understood not to favor any change
in the rate of letter postage at present,
but whether or not the administration
shall recommend reduction, the re-
publican party is committed to it by the
last national platform, and the matter
will doubtless be presented for the con-
sideration of congress. The showing in
increased revenues which tho postofiice
department will make will be very
likely to enlarge the number fav ora BILE
to postage reduction.

a PROSPEROUS HALF YEAR.

Tho business and building record Of
Omaha Tor the past six monthsis graf
flying exhibit OF progress and prosper
ity. Few half years in the history of
tho city equal it in the amount of busi-
ness done, the extension of the iobbing
trade and in the variety, number aud
cost OF buildings undertaken.
An open winter followed by favora-
BILE spring permitted business to continue
unchecked. Some branches OF trade
were seriously affected by an unusually
mild winter. while others increased
their stock to such an extent that when
sales failed to reach expectations the
cry Of hard times was heard. On the
whole, however, it can be confidently
asserted that The record for the past six
months In all departments of trade, ex-
ceeds the first half of 1888 by large
per cent.
Substantial proof Of this fact Is found
in the weekly record of the clearings of
our banks. With possibly two excep-
tions, the reports show steady increase
In business, the per cent ranging from
ten to thirty-nine.
In the building line there is
tho same gratifying evidence of
growth. A total of one thousand
and nine permits for buildings we're
issued during the six months, involving
an expenditure of fully two and
quarter million dollars. Tho most
significant feature of this exhibit is the
large proportion of houses going up in
all sections of the city. Two-thirds of
the permits issued were for modest cot
tages and elaborate residences ranging
in cost from one thousand to ten thou
sand each. Business BLOCKS keep pace
with the march of the home builders,
and the real estate market gives evil
dence of steady and permanent
revival.
The confidence noticeable in all de-
partments OF trade is justified by the
record outlined. The outlook for the
last half OF the year is most favorable.
Crop prospects throughout the west at
the present time promise harvest ap-
preaching the great yield of 1884. On
all sides there are substantial signs of
improving prosperity, which promise
to make the last half of 1889 a record
breaker.

AMERICAN capitalists anxious to in
vest their millions in African railroads
will probably have their ardor cooled
by the difficulties now involving English
railroad builders with the Portuguese
government, which controls important
colonies on the east and west coasts of
Africa. 1t appears that some years ago
the Portuguese granted an English COM
pany valuable concessions to build rail-
road through one of the colonies with its
terminus at Delagoa Bay. AS the rail
road was not finished within the time
specified in the contract, the Lisbon
government not alone revoked the con-
cession but has actually undertaken to
confiscate the English railroad. Seri-
GUS trouble is'anticipated between Eng
land and Portugal in consequence and it
would not be, atiall surprising If the two
countries came to blows.

HANDSOMELY RECOGNfzED.


Nebraska has no reason to complain
OF the indifference OF the administra-
tion in the distribution of positions of
honor and trust. On the contrary,
our delegation In congress has received
recognition at the hands of Mr.. Blaine
far beyond the proportion to which
this state is entitled. Nebraska has
been given first class mission by the
appointment of Patrick Egan as minis
ter to Chilli. The Chilian mission pays
ten thousand dollars year, and is
recognized as the most important, post
in South America. And now Ex-
Chancellor Manatt has been ap-
pointed consul at Athens. This is
favor which our delegation in
congress cannot fail to appreciate.
Mr.. Manatt has done much to-
ward elevating the standard of politi-
cal morals as we'll as education, in Ne
braska. His eminent fitness for the po-
sition is conceded, and his selection
was n merited recognition of eminent
political services and high qualiticatio ms
Now that Nebraska has been so hand
somely recognized by Mr.. Blaine there
should be no further cause for discon-
tent among NebraslSans who wish to
represent their country abroad.

THE city council as n board OF equali-
cation, committed serious blunder in
raising assessed valuations without
notifying property owners. 1t is Il mis-
take to suppose that the council can
exercise powers denied the county com
missioners. Both bodies as boards OF
equalization must strictly observe the
revenue law. The decisions of the SUI
preme court, reinforced by that OF
Judge Wakeley, plainly declare that nc
alterations can be made in the asses
sors' returns except on complaint, and
the boards are obliged to notify the
property owners affected to appear and
defend themselves.

THE destinies of Omaha are closely
bound up with the destiny OF every
town and city in Nebraska. Their
growth and prosperity is Omaha's pros
perity, their depression is borne equally
on omaha's shoulders. From its loca-
tion Omaha should. be the natural
market for the products OF the larger
portion OF the state, and should be the
depot to furnish the supplies needed in
every industry. Like water seeking it's
lowest level, trade and traffic flow into
that market which offers both buyer
and seller the greatest inducements.
AS the gateway to Nebraska Omaha
possesses the superior natural advan-
tages, but unfortunately is seriously
handicapped by the lack of proper rail-
road facilities. How long will our peo-
pie put up with this rank discrimina-
tiOn.

A permanent reservation for the three
hundred and eighty Apaches now To-
Gated in the mountains of northern
Alabama is being sought in some OF the

will not be placed anywhere that will

tainly not be returned to Arizona to

THE unusual aud steady drain of gold
from the United States to Europe, which
exceeds thirty millions since the first
of the year, is beginning to create n
feeling of uneasiness in financial cir
cles. Wall street has taken alarm and
wants to know how long this outflow
will continue. The mysterious part of
1T all is that experts can not accurately
account for this financial phenomenon.
The balance OF trade is in favor Of
America, and there is no apparent rea-
son why England should make such
heavy demands on us for bullion. The
banks have as yet felt no inconvenience
due to this constant drain, and no
pinch for supply OF specie is antici-
pated.

pointing, the quality of the marketing

THERE is possibility that the
political situation in Iowa, so far as the
republicans are concerned, may be in
one respect a repetition of that in Ohio
Governor Larrabee has declined to
again be candidate, as did Governor
Foraker, but the former has following
which appears, to be as determined to
renominate Him as were the friends of
the Ohio governor. The movement in
behalf OF Larrabee is said to be grow
ing, and while it is understood that he
is not making any personal effort to
promote it, he appears not unwilling
to permit his friends to do so.
There are like conditions, also,
in the relations which the two gov
ernors bear to the question of the sena-
torial succession in their respective
states. If Foraker shall be re -ele cted
and the next legislature of Ohio is re-
publican, the chances Will be very
largely in favor of his being selected to
succeed Henry B. Payne in the United
States senate.,s 1t is assumed to be the
design of the friends of Larrabee, in
the event of his renomlnation and cleo
tion, to put him forward for the seat of
Senator Allison. Obviously, however,
the friends of Larrabee, in urging him
for third term, are running much
greater risk thandid those OF Foraker
