SIGNS OF BETTER TIMES.

Unless the signs of the times are
wholly misleading, Omaha is on the eve
of marked improvement in her fnan-
cial situation. This city has pulled
through this prolonged period of de
preston with unimpaired credit. The
boom has left fewer scars in our ma
terial prosperity than in that of any
city of like situation. The reaction has
been severe enough to satisfy the most
incorrgible pessimist, but no such suf.
fering in purse or progress has been ex-
perienced here as in neighboring cities,
where the boom lasted longer and col
lapsed more completely. These facts
are recognized in the money centers of
tin } east, and hence Omaha public and
private securities have taken high rank
A growing young city must depend
upon outside capital largely to back the
enterprise of her citizens. The Omaha
brain must direct, but the eastern cap
italist must furnish the means which
shall produce results. The ease with
which money can be obtained for in
vestment in this city shows how strong
the faith of the country at large is in
this young metropolis. In fact, invest
ment agents in this city have long since
discovered that eastern people have
more abiding and pronounced faith in
the future Of the city than many of our
local capitalists. While regretting the
Indifference OF our own people, we find
in the confidence of others the grounds
for anticipating marked advance in
material conditions in the coming year.
Among the enterprises which are
more or less certain TO be carried
through and which will certainly in
vigorate the business pulse of the com
munity are the East Omaha and Ne
braslia Central railway enterprises
! The one will stimulate the other and
thus push both the more rapidly. The
! idea SO often canvassed of bringing the
waters of the Platte or Elkhorn rivers
to our doors for power for factories,
electric light and street motors is TAX
ing definite shape. Some of our con
servative capitalists are giving this
undertaking their very cordial support,
and it is stated that at least one firm of
brokers has stated that there will be no
difficulty whatever in obtaining the
funds to carry forward the scheme when
it is once formulated and ready TO be
proposed to investors.
Then among the smaller and yet i'm
portant projects for improvement are
the manufacturers exposition building,
the new $4,000 hotel, the union depot,
the government building, the new For,
Omaha structures and half dozen

tion. They will all employ labor and
require an expenditure of capital. Our
iobbing trade has never been SO goot
and our manufacturers never felt 81
confident of the future. In the languag,

GIVE THEM 4 WIDE BERrR

Tho old hordes OF taxeaters and
barnacles are getting ready for another
descent upon the capital When the
Legislature convencs they will be quar-.
tered at the principal hotels, log-rolling
for soft berths and sinecures that will
pay them IS to 81 day. besides per-
quisites TO: hanging around the com.
mittee rooms and doing nothing.
The fact is there will be nothing for
the committees TO do during the drst
three or four weeks of the session and
there is no more use for this horde of
committee clerks than there is for u
fifth wheel to wagon.
The legislature never does any active
committee work until after it has got
through fighting over the election of n
United States senator. Tho money paid
to needless committee clerks and more
needless sergeauts.at-arms, cloak room
janitors and superintendents of Cuspi-
doris is a down right waste and high
handed robbery of the taxpayers.
Worse than that even, most OF these
hangers-on are mere cGppers ard caves
droppcrs for the cil-room managers and
lobby. They have access to the floors
and cloak rooms while the legislature is
in active session. They hear the mem-
bers express their private views about
candidates ana bills and report TO their
corrupt employers. The result is the
state house is filled with spies paid out
of the state treasury.
With organized Doodle combines,
working members at tho hotels and
gang of spies and consprators operating
upon them in the committee rooms and
cloak rooms and on the very floor OF the
legislative halls, tho weak -llneed and
the venal members are easily caught in
the meshes of the& ranlulas that fasten
their poisoned fungs upon their victims
and hold them fast to do their bidding.
If the coming legislature is to bo q
real reform legislature it will give a
wide. berth to the horde of political
vagrants and FOUNDERS who always in
fest the capital when the Legislature
convenes and poster members to death
to get on the Legislative payroll under
some DreteXt.

Fremont Leader.


A dcsirabl person to fill the position of
United States senator from Nebraska. He
must be man of good parts strong and
healthy, able to do a good days work for
the people, and fight, if need for them. He
must be free from the national disease of
consumption, known by its sign of its hectic
flush of corruption, so that the servant of
the people, when he appears in the malaria
district of Washington, will have strength
to throw off All the inyasions of
the disease. IA great many per-
sons have already applied for the
dangerous position aprobably because they
are patriotic and wish to serve their country
by becoming martyrs TO the disease. Others
have applied for the position, not knowing
the character of the place they 50 much
covet and how the disease that infests the
capital of the nation would make life bur
densome to thenf, 'nalSing their very bones
ache to carry thsit muddlod head. To all
such persons ii would be n kindness if their
friends advised them to withdraw their
applications Those having corporation
disease, high proteatiye symptoms that lead
to trusts, and otllgT putrifactions of bust
ness need not apply. None wanted but those
who are clean, healthy and honest and faith
full to the interests of the people while in a
corruption polluted neighborhood.

THE most amusing thing at this mo-
ment is the congratulations of the dem
ocratic organs of the country at large
that the bottom has not fallen out of
business, although three weeks have
elapsed since the election OF Grover
Cleveland. What is there surprising in
thisp Harrison is still at the helm and
the democratic congress Is not likely to
be in full session before the first Tues
day in December, 1898. There is time
enough for good deal of crockery to
be smashed long before that date, and
even il there isn't any smashup it will
be because the country does not be-
lieve that the democrats mean to carry
out their free trade and wildcat money

A Warning to Rencga dcs.


Every intelligent partisan in the state
sees and knows the advantages that would
follow union between the democrats and
the independents in organizing the legisla-
ture. In no state but Nebraska would any
thing else be expected, or even possible. In
Kansas majority of one is taken for granted
to be ample to beat the republicans, but IN
Nebraska plans to hoodwink or buy sutfi-
cient number of the opposition to carry out
republican designs are discussed as
coolly as the purchase of as many
cattle The chances of success are guessed
at and bet upon as though it were per-
fectly legitimate and natural transaction.
But let it be well understood by every mem
ber of the Legislature not II republican that
the people will stand no treachery. No
guilty democrat can expect future recog-
milton or affiliation with his party, Any in
dependent lending himself to republican
schemes better make a sale of it, like Taylor,
and rake off enough cash to take him out OF
state that will thereafter be too hot to
hold him.
