now outstanding, largely, OF course, as the
result OF foreclosures. is very much smaller
than II used TO be. On the other hand, the
feeling of confidence in Omaha's future is
at this time probably more firmly estab-
lished with everyone who has investments
here, and consequently large corporations
as well as private individuals, are all seek
ing TO put their money into such securi
ties. Some are still very strict as 10 the
character OF the security, such as the North
western OF Milwaukee, which wants only
the best and makes uniform rate of per
cent straight. Others are not satisfied with
present rates. But in addition TO the money
which Is held under such restrictions as
these there is much that stands on the
books OF almost every agent in town just
because there are not enough borrowers TO
take all the money that is offered.
Ruling rates now are from 20 6 per cent
on all classes Of mortgage loans or i'm
proved real estate In Omaha. \ few are
made under IL the security is Of the very
best class and the amount of the loan in
proportion TO the value OF the property is
low. On the other hand. on properties that
are not OF the best the borrower has 10 pay
as high as 6l2 At these rates tho agent
can no longer get his straight per cent
commission. He has TO be satisfied with
what he can get and il does not pay him
any longer to make an effort TO hunt up ap-
pllostions.
Jus; as in the case OF farm leans. too, the
man who wants to borrow now on good I'M
proved city property Is able TO dictate his
terms. He generally insists on the right to
pay of in multiples of 800 at any interest
pay day. and this is a~feature which the
investor does not like.
Taken all in all. few mortgages are now
being placed on Omaha property. Even the
building and loan associations. whose
method OF operation makes IL possible for
them to accept some loans which could not
be sold TO the ordinary investor. cannot
get loans to take care of all the deposits OF
their members, Their money is being forced
nowadays into channels which were not
contemplated when the associations were
formed, for they are still paying good In
terest 10 depositors and the money the!
pay out must be earned in some way.
The business in city loans is not likely
to grow larger until there is a great in
crease in the sales OF city property.

TRISTAN UND ISOLDE AT THE OPERA
1t was Tristan redivivus at the opera last night:
night OF triumphs, night OF keen artistic de-
lights. There was nobody new in the cast and
after the pegs in the ecstatic key by Nine
Termina and &r. Jean de Reszke any newcomer
would have been intruder The public inspired
by memories Of the Tristan performances when
Mr. de Reszke and Nine. Nordica first opened the
full loveliness OF the canticle Of all cantices OF love
to so many Of them. and encouraged by the
marvellous rejuvenescence in Mr.. de Reszke's
singing and acting in the days that have
gone before in this, season. crowded the
house and testified their delight and gratitude
as only an audience at once intelligent sympa-
thetic and loving could testify it-by almost breath
less attention from the beginning to the end of
each act, and honest applause after. Everything
was sincere, every gesture, every word every tone
from the perfectly consorted company on the stage
and in the orchestra, and every expression of feel
ing in the audience room 1t was performance of
which the simple record ought to be more fra
grant tribute than a column OF aulogy. for the
work itself is past praise, and the singers and
actors who published 1t last night artists beyond

action as may be believed to be wise by the Repub-

In the course of a long speech. which created
much enthusiasm, Curtis Guild, jr. sad:
Certain honorable gentlemen. Mr. OIney who be-
Iieves we were mistaken in promising Cuba her in
dependence Mr. Cleveland whose courage and
patriotism were well displayed in the Venzuela
message and the prompt repression of arson and
murder in the Chicago riots. are appealing to the
rank and file of the Democratic party to re-
nounce Organism and to return to them.
The vision even of the best of may be OBJ
Scured by old association and early prejudice. The
Democratic party has changed its candidates and
the wording of its platfOrm. not ft- principles.
Democracy, genuine Democracy as expressed by
votes in Congress- has deserted MI CIr,,.an
Mr.. Cleveland has deserted Democracy The great
mass OF his party never supported AR Cleveland
as legislator only as distributor of patronage.
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Olney logically belong with
the political party to which they forced again
and again to turn for support when they were i'm
power and who gave that support without patron
age because decenCy and good government de-
manded ii. Has not the time come when these two
statesmer (and they statesmen) and men like
them can sQuarely recognize that the place for
their activity is not outside. but inside the Repub-
hcan party?
