As An INDEX OF PROSPERITY.

Students of economic conditions
have long agreed that the import trade
is one Of the best indices of the com
mercial conditions Of country. This
is particularly true in the United States
where the imports, as a rule, come
under the head Of luxuries, and are
the first to show a decrease on the APP
proach of hard times, or of any condi-
ton that makes retrenchment neces-
sary. According to this index, the
United States is refuting all eonten-
lions OF political and financial fore
casters, who profess to see conditions
ahead which demand a reefng of COM
mercial and Industrial sails for a finan-
cial storm.
Advance figures from the bureau Of
statistics for the month of March and
nine months of the fiscal year show
en- unusual Increase in our foreign
trade, particularly in imports. For
the month of March our imports
amounted to $133,323, OS5, the largest
on record with the one exception of
December of last year, and exceeded
the record of March of last year by
more than $2O,0OO,OOO. Imports for
nine months of the fiscal year ag-
gregated 81, O66, O59,911, as compared
with S913,557,097 for the same nine
months of last year, or about double
the gain made last year over the CORE
spending nine months ending March,
1905.
The report of our exports is not 80
flattering. For the month of March
American exports were valued at &c.,
$50, $50, compared with $145,51O,707
in March, 1906, and the total for the
nine months was $1,451, 904,97I, as
compared with $1,343,902, 900 for the
corresponding nine months of last
year. The excess of exports was less
by half than our increase in imports.
The figures show, so far as completed,
that the American farmer is still re-
sponsible for the bulk of our export
trade, nearly two-thirds of the exports
for March being in the form of do
nestle breadstuffs, meat and dairy pro-
ducts, food animals, cotton and mineral
oil. The exports In principal lines
were: Breadstuffs, $t4,233,462; meat
and dairy products, $1s,732,9Ss; cat
tie, sheep and hogs, $3,9S5,699. For
the nine months exports of these COM
modities were: Breadstuffs, $135,S91,-
OLE; meat and dairy products, $131,-
20S,335; food animals, $24,774,2S5.
While detailed figures have not been
compiled, the preliminary statistics
are sufficient to show that Uncle Sam
continues to hold his own in the
worlds markets as both buyer and
seller.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS IN ENGLAND.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS IN ENGLAND.
The British House of Commons has
been wrestling with the question of
corporation contributions to campaign
funds and has taken summary action
to eliminate such influences from flu
ture elections. The matter came up
in Parliament as an echo of the recent
municipal elections in London in which
the London & Northwestern railway
actively supported the ticket of the
moderates. In the debate in the Com
mons, 1t developed that the London
corporation followed methods very like
the tactics of our railroads in American
politics. It was explained that the
railway company had contributed
5000 to the moderates, charging the
item as ''sundry payments not classed, 4"
which appears to be the British equiv
alent of illegal expenses" in this coun-
try. Representatives of the railway
company explained that the contribu-
ton had been made on a promise TO
reduce the tax rate on railway property.
When the London & Northwestern
railway came before the House of Com
mons with a bin for some desired legis-
lation, Mr. Trevelyan offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was adopted
without opposition, after a general dis
cussion;
That no bill can be satisfactory to this
house which confers increased powers on
a railway company created by act OF
Parliament which has subscribed out OF
its corporate funds to a party organiza-
ton.
The remedy for the evil of corpora
ton contributions TO political campaign
funds set forth in the Trevelyan reso-
luton suggests a way of Strengthening
the American methods of accomplish
ing a similar result Congress has al
ready passed a law prohibiting ma
tional banks from contributing to any
campaign fund and forbidding all cor
poratiohs from contributing to cam
paign funds for elections at which
federal oficials are chosen. 1t is also
practically assured that the next con-
gress will enact legislation requiring
the publicity of all donations to ma
tional campaign funds. thus supple
menting the corrupt practices acts now
in force in many states The British,
however, require all corporations 70

the government. by which such con-
/ tributions are disclosed.

A ROYAL FLUSH.

Crowned heads of Europe are seeing
things at night just now and sending
out limitations that the world has
an erroneous opinion of the real char
acter of King Edward of England. 1t
is limited that instead of being a we'll
groomed portly old gentleman who
smokes Baron Rothschild's 50 cigars,
attends stock shows and allows his
picture to be used as a model for
Fittem's SO hats. the British ruler is
really war lord in disguise scheming
to disrupt the Triple Alliance, the
three-king combination that has held
the ace in the royal game for a great
many years. The origin of this attack
of royal fidgets is found in the COM
ing meeting between King Edward of
England and King Victor Emmanuel of
Italy, which is attracting much atten-
ton and more speculation all over Eu-
rope.
regular near-nightmare over the
affair is on in Germany. the semi
Official Berlin press insisting that King
Edward wants to upset the European
equilibrium, or, as the politicians in this
country would have it, is heading a
gigantic conspiracy to defeat the poll
cies of the wilhelmische administra-
ton With true German fairness, how
ever. the Berlin press warns the Royal
Briton that the plot has been discov-
cred and he acts at his own peril.
"War with Germany would be danger
Gus for any opponent or any coalition
Of opponents" says the Berlin organ,
taking mental measurement of the
kaiser's stack of chips and preparing to
call any BLUM that may be made.
The situation in France is less ex-
citing, but equally interesting. Johnny
Crapaud is in the glory seat and does
not have to draw cards until the Ger
man on his right decides whether he
will call, raise or break up the game.
He is finding much satisfaction in
watching the Germans discomfort and
uneasiness ana Is rather disposed TO
encourage King Edward to go ahead
and get little foreign capital onto the
table for future division.
In the meantime, Rome is in sup
pressed excitement. King Victor
Emmanuel has been invited to take a
hand but, according to latest advices,
has not been informed what the limit
is to be. whether marked cards will
be barred OF II provision is to be made
for a Jackpot.
All conditions are ripe for an exciting
session and the rest Of the world
will be keenly interested until Il is
ascertained whether the game really is
for blood OF Just another exhibition Of
royal four-fushing.

Low RATE-MORE BUSINESS.
Prospective showing of the TwO-Ccnt
Rate in Nebraska.
San Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco Chronicle.
While no official figures are yet available,
Il is stated on what seems to be good
authority that the receipts from passen-
gers by the Nebraska railroads have not
fallen Off, but rather increased since the
law fixing fares at cents per mile went
into operation. II the receipts have held
their own and the cost OF service has not
increased. the railroads have evidently suf-
fered no loss. We may safely assume that
no extra trains have been put on and the
cost of hauling an extra car could make
very little difference in the amount OF the
coal bill. II 2-cent fare involves no loss
in Nebraska, II may be expected to yield
large profit over existing rates IN most
of the states. There are but seventeen
states and territories whose density Of
population is less than that of Nebraska,
which is 1873 inhabitants to the square mile
as against 1902 in Ohio, 1926 in New York,
and so on up to 4O7 in Rhode Island. In
New York the 2-cent rate has been In
operation many years, with no complaint
that IL has not been remunerative, and II
has been stated that no resistance to the
law would be attempted in Ohio. 1t Is to
be remembered that the population OF Ne
braska is largely concentrated in the east
ern part OF the STATE where inc "'"''''
may nearly equal that Of most parts OF
Ohio, and the loss or gain In the sparsely
settled western districts would not count
much anyway. Passenger traf1c men
understand very well that the reduction OF
rates induces extra travel sufficient to
make the traffic highly remunerative' as Is
shown by the very low rates regularly
made for excursions. They do not seem to
heIisve that such a reduction will make a
large permanent increase Of travel except
In dense populations. We doubt whether
anv traffe man would expect anything but
a sbrinkaRe Of net income from the adop-
zion of a 2-cent rate in Nebraska Should
It turn out otherwise the trafic men will
have TO confess that they have been
taught wisdom out Of the mouths OF
economic babes and sucklings.

In other words, while three cities in
Nebraska are credited with in
creasing their population in the six
years between 1900 and 1905 by 4O,-
439 the increase for the whole state
is estimated at PISA, which would
mean an actual loss of population out
side of these cities of more than 49,
600.
That no such loss has taken place,
but that, on the contrary, the popula-
ton growth has been reasonably uni
form throughout Nebraska is well
known to every one conversant with
conditions here. In fact, large
stretches of previously unoccupied
public land have been taken up in
northwestern Nebraska since the last
census, and the rate of population
growth is unquestionably greater in
that section than elsewhere.
The fallacy of the census estimate
can be detected in the accompanying
explanation made by the bureau OFF,
Gals. They describe their method as
the "arithmetical method" namely,
that the growth in each year is equal
to one-tenth of the decennial increase
between the two previous censuses. 4"
What they have done, therefore, is to
credit Nebraska for each year since
1900 with one-tenth of the increase
shown between the census figures of
1890 and 1900.
1t is, however, notorious that the
1890 figures we're Internationally
padded. The census bureau itself
takes cognizance of this in its esti-
mates OF city population by correcting
the 1890 figures for Omaha, Lincoln
and South Omaha, as indicated by a
footnote which reads: Census 1890
detectives; population in 1890 esti-
mated as mean between 1880 and
1900" To get down to bedrock, it has
cut of 1879 of the population &C
corded to these three cities by the 1890
census takers. It has neglected, how
ever, to make any deduction from the
1890 figures for the state, although
they include what was deducted for
these cities.
1t is safe to say that the Nebraska
census imitation of 1890 for the whole
state was not less than 100000, 50
that we actually had approximately
962,656 people instead of 1902, $50,
as was then claimed. The annual In
crease for the decennial period between
1890 and 1900 thus corrected would
be 1O,S64, giving Nebraska a total
population increase for the six years
since 1900 Of 62,1S6, and making the
1906 population approximately 1I2S,-
4S6. This surely is much nearer to
the facts than the recent census bu-

nation to the bank examiners. and
similar laws relating TO other banks
are in force in most OF the states. A
federal law subjecting interstate rail-
way corporations to like examination,
supplemented by state legislation re
quiring similar accounting Of eVpendi-
lures by local public service corpora
tions, would let the light in on corpora
ton contributions for political pur-
poses and promptly put an end to pro-
hibited activity in politics.

In his address at democratic din

pressed the fear that the American
people, deluded by the marvellous spec
tacle of blatant probity yawping from
the pinnacle of self-appreciation stand
ready to welcome the destruction of
the very fabric of free institutions"

4 PooR PoPrLArion Guess.

The Official bulletin OF the census
bureau, containing It's estimates Of pop
ulation for the year 1905. as compared
with the census figures of 1900, is
open to severe criticism so far as Il re-
lates to Nebraska, This bulletin gives
the population OF Nebraska for 1906
at 1,O6s,4s4, as compared with the
census population in 1900 OF 1885,
800, being an increase for six years of
only PISA. The righteousness Of
this estimate is quickly seen when
taken in connection with the figures
for the three cities in Nebraska hav-
ing more than 5000 inhabitants in
1900, upon which new estimates have
also been made, as follows:
