Work Started Up at the crUsher.

The welcome news was received
at Shepherdstown on Tuesday that
work was to be commenced again at
the stone-crusher of the Norfolk d
Western Railroad at this place. Su-
perintendent Ryan came on Wednes-
day and began to gather the tools up
and get his force of men ready for
immediate work. The merchants and
laboring men are greatly pleased at
the resumption of work, for it means
employment to forty or fifty men and
the circulation of considerable sum
of money each month.

THE corr

A statement regarding the gold move
ment shows that during tho last thirteen
years the United States has imported
over 1856, DOC, 900 more gold than it has
exported. Tho production during those
years was in round numbers S452, 900, 900.
According to the computation Of
tho director of tho mint over
$40, DOC, 900 OF gold was used in tho
industrial arts last year, and it Is shown
that there Is n progressive Increase in
the use OF gold in the arts. The director
of the mint estimated that ut the begin
ming of the present year the gold coin
and bullion in the country amounted to
a little I'VE $70i, COG, 900, and deducting
what has since been exported there
Is now in the country about $780,
5000 00 in gold coin and bullion.
This sum will be ample to protect tho
paper issuns of the government for some
time TO come under existing conditions,
so that there is no ground for tho appre-
hensions Expressed by some Of IA crisis
near Mt hand in consequence OF the pres
ont silver policy of tho country. 1t is not
at all difficult to understand how
English %tinanciers can reach such IA
conclusion rs that recently announced

Trade, but there should be no such want
of confidence in tho security Of our dnan-
cial system among our own people. This
country can without danger employ sill
vor in the currency to the full extent of
tho American production of silver and
carry such n policy on indefinitely. but
II would DO n very different state

limited coinage, Tho first effect of that

Chicago Herald His despair was the fruit
of his own sclf-chcsen career, and his suicide
at the grave OF his paramour was a fitting
end to his mlsspent life. A broad and in

some pity, but his death is no loss to France
nor to the world.
Chicago Post: Boulanger rendered the no
public a useful service without intending it.
His ignoble end is a warning for all time to
all French consplrators, communist, Or.

flag of France, floating at last over a stable
and permanent republic.
Kansas City Journal: He was nothing but
q shallow trickster and demagogue, utterly
bereft of convictions or of moral or political
conscience, and had the government per
mitted his frUthy vapOrings to 90 unnoticed
he would doubtless soon have been forgotten
and cast aside for wnat he really was.
St. Louis Republic: HIS flight to Brussels
and his exhibition of himself there as the
protege OF a Strumpet left no doubt of the
real character of the man. If even after this
he had followers among the pot-house patriots
of Paris, it was because he represented them
and their moral aud intellectual Level.
Chicago News: Theatric TO the END, Bou-
lapge like Balmaceda, was too cowardly to
face the results of his miSdeedS and too
weak to seek to atone past faults. He carries
to the grave scarcely a remnant of the admi-
ration with which Frenchmeu formerly re-
garded him, and that chiefly for his military
record.
Chicago Tribune. Even had Boulanger
lived he could not have been a menace to
France. His death was theatrical enough to
suit his vanity, but it will make little i'm
preston upon his country. 1t will be a short
sensation on the boulevards aud then he will
be forgotten. 1t was the fitting close OF his
career.
Chicago Times: Dying by his own hand.
General Boulanger terminates with grim
fitness a daring and dangerous career. Hd
was a trained and bray soldier when a sub,
altern, but vain-glory, lust of power and
complete ignorance of the moralities made
him in pursuit of u towering ambition a
demagogue.
Kansas City Times: Boulauger was a
commonplace man who was used by monarch
lists and revolutionists as tho tigurahead OF
an attack on the republic. Nj. Constant saw
his weakness at a glance and tumbled Bou-

MNNLCIPAL CANDIDATES.

The early approach Of the municipal
campaign makes it important that pub
lie attention be directed TO the great
subject Of good municipal government.
The greatest drawback TO our pros
perity today is n van Of confidence
in the integrity Of our city
council. In this respect Omaha
is only sharing the experience Of other
cities. Omaha taxpayers fear to vote
for public improvements lest the money
raised by taxation shall not be honestly
expended. This want Of confidence is
the result Of neglect upon the part OF in
diyidual citizens to exercise their priyi-
legcs and perform their public duties. If
we could just once induce our best people
to take part in the preliminary proceed
ings incident TO municipal elections Il
reform would be wrought in the conduct
Of the city's business which no amount
OF newspaper discussion can ever bring
about.
Senator Henderson sounded the key
note Of municipal reform when he said
"the era Of uncertainty ana distrust
should be terminated this taU by tho
election OF the most reliable and capable
men in tho city to the offices which must
be filled in our municipal government"
The Gnato means by this not that our
best men Of all political parties shall
meet in mass convention and agree upon
"a n0npartisan citizens ticket in advance
Of the action Of the political parties, but
that they shall participate in the eau
cuses, primaries and conventions Of
their own party organizations and place
before the citizens the best men OF all
parties from whom the Individual citi-
zen may select the most capable candi-
dates and so be sure that only good men
shall be elected.
There is n tremendously strong under
current OF sentiment in Omaha just now
which will break down all the breast
works Of partisanship and select only
the best men for Office ut the coming
election. The political parties, and
especially the republican party, must
not overlook this sentiment in making
up municipal and county tickets. Every
republican knows that within tho ranks
OF his party are men competent to give
to Omaha n thoroughly honest and eff
cient government, and it is his duty to
aid by every honorable means Mt club,
caucus, primary, convention and cleo
ton in wrestling tho control of city
affairs from the class of mon whom
people naturally distrust.

II VIZ 70 MAJ W FAMINE PRICES1
In a late issue Of the AuericuH dgri-
cUituraitst MIR. 9. Wood Davis, the well
known agricultural statistician. asks
and answers the question that heads
this article. After reviewing the con-
dition Of the European CROPS and show
ing that there will probably be a
greater deficit thar has been es-
timated, Mr.. Davis concludes that
prices must go higher. He cal
culates that for the first nine
months OF the cereal year Eu-
ropean requirements may be provided
months can only be met by exports OF
corn. The corn crop is estimated at
800, 900, 900 bushels. but IL is not TO be
forgotten that the cribs are empty and
that this crop must cover nearly or
quite fourteen months consumption,
50 that large as the crop
will be it will not be ex-
c%essiye, and with a foreign demand that
will inevitably ONE the price ought to
and doubtless will advance.
Mr.. Davis remarks that owing TO the
necessities Of a great number Of farmers
they will rush grain TO market in such
quantities as TO depreSs prices below
what would logically follow from the
worlds deficient supply. But once Eu-
rope has consumed a considerable
part Of its deficient crop, a y Mr..
Davis, and we cease TO market more
than goes Immediately into cOnsump-
ton, there will be such an uprush Of
prices as this generation has not wit
messed. He observes that those who are
looking for higher prices should
now forget that the whole world
is no employed in marketing the
product OF $50, O00, 900 acres Of wheat
and rye. No matter how meager the
harvest may have been, the necessities
OF a vast number are such as to impel
them to market their grain just as soon
as IL can be threshed. The grain thus
early marketed from American farms is
now moving to the seaboard in a great
swelling ilood, which will probably be
at its maximum this month, and
from then until some weeks after
the beginning Of the new year
will slowly ebb. After that recession
will be rapid, and as the tide GIBBS so viii
rise the price of all kinds Of grain and
secondary food products. When the
now excessive marketing shall have SO
diminished that the amount going for
ward is somewhat less than current
requirements, in the opinion Of
Mr.. Davis, prices will advance
''by leaps and bounds" Then
the farmer, SO fortunate as to
have held a large part of this years
abundant yield, will secure an ample
reward for his labor and expenditure,
There can be no other result, as the
world has grown but 81 per cent Of the
bread required. After America, Asia,
Africa and Australia have sent Europe
the last bushel Of wheat that can be
spared, there will be at least
ten weeks for which no provision
seems possible but a resort to
American maize. Europe must eat our
corn or GO without bread. The conclu-
sions reached by Mr.. Davis appear to be
entirely sound and logical, and they are
certainly very pleasing from the point
Of view OF the farmers, or Mt any rate
such OF them as are in a position TO hold
their wheat for II short time.
