Durable IHE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNFSDAY NOVEMBER ¢, 1331 OBJECTIONS TO RIVER IM- PROVEMENT. Following the example of the T'imes, the Now York [Herald enters an em- phatic protest against the improve ment of the Mississipp1 river by the national government, It calls atten- tion to the fact that New York, with- out any outside aid, has made a high- way of commerce of the Hudson river and built her own canals, at a cost of nearly £560,000,000, ‘‘Why," aska the Ilevald, ‘‘cannot tho Missia sippi states, much more generous in population, do for theic own great river what Now York haa done for its own water way? Why should this stato be taxed to build up a rival to ita groatest work 1" The Herald seems to forget that we are a nation and nota mere federation of states, The regulation of commerce in one of the powers conferred upon the central government by the consti- tution, and in the regulation of com- merce tho improvement of onr great internal waterways is destined to ex- ert a mighty itfluence. No authority has ever denied eithor the power or the duty of the national government to protect and improve the harbors of the country inde- pendent of geographical position and cxclusive of the local interests which such protection and improve- ment would foster or impede. No stat: more than New York has reaped the advantage of improvements un- dertakan by the federal government. Upon her harbors and streams mil- lions upon millions of dollars have been expended from the mnational treasury without complaint from other sections of the country, that such ap- propriations were local in character and should have been undertaken by tho state, which it was chiefly in- tended to benefit. Besides these river and harbor appropriations, New York has received the benefit of gov- ornment forts, arsenals, navy yards, light houses and many other favors, requiring leavy expenditures from the national treasury. A comparison between these appropriations and those asked from the government for tho internal water ways of the con- tinent weuld be far more appropriate than reference to the Erie canal, which lies entirely within the hmits of New York state, and which has largely given to it its commercial importance. The improvement of the Mississippi pavements will be lees expensive in ithe long run, CoxxecticuT has organized a state civil service reform assoc Con- necticut's quota of office holders is about full, and all she now asks is that they be let alone. ation. Dovaras county will demand for her public officials at least the qualifi- «cations of a common school education, and the ability to read and write the fnglish language. Tue Slocumb law has no connection with the eloction of a county ticket, and those who attempt to force any such issuo are likely to foel the effects of a reaction next fall, Tuurrow WEeEp, the veteran jour- nalist, thinks that Judge Folgor, the new secretary of the treasury, is in evory way fitted for and worthy of the position he is to occupy. Mg, Jim WiLsox does not enjoy the prospect of Secretary Kirkwood's ro- tiroment and return to Iowa. Towa has a strong affection for Sam Kirk- wood and may tako a practical way of showing it. * Tug Central Pac imounces that it has “fixod thiogs” with the Union Pacific and that no competing line will be built to the Missouri river When railroads *‘fix things” ‘he pub- lic is sure to be fleoced. — Mz. Braine's ablo note on the Pan. ama canal, in which the Monroe doc- trino is again asserted and Furope told to keep her hands off American interests, is exciting general comment on the continent. Mr, Blaine knows what he is talking about, and says it in plain if in diplomatic language. Tuk Baltimore American asks the public to puste in its hat the predic- tion that Mr. Blaine will be elected president in 1884, There is time for & great many pasters to be worn out before the next republican conven- ton, although James G, Blaine's name will Always remain a tower of strength in the republicAn party. resns————— By an error in our dispatches the name of Judge Briggs appeared in ‘T'ur. Bex as onc of the vice presidents of the 8t. Louis river convention, instead of ex-Mayor Champion 8, Chase. Col. Chase brings back with him o eilk badge as evidence that he was honored in behalf of Nebraska with this distinction. Hox. Epwarp McPurrsoN comes forward as a candidato for clork of the house of representatives, a posi- tion which he filled for & number of years with the greatost eflicioncy. Mr. McPherson’s - eandidacy will and Missouri rivers is a work 8o clearly national that there can be no question as to its proper authority to undertake it. Twenty states and territories aro drained by the Mississippi and its tributaries, including the greatest ag- ricultural and industrial sections of the country. One-seventh of all the exports of tho nation seok foreign shores by way of its mouth. half the population of the country is distributed throughout this vast re- gion, which now demaunds recognition at the hands of the nation, Why should these separatc stato govern- ments be locally taxed as for the prosecution of public works which aro to benefit the whole country. Might they not with equal propriety demand that the seaboard states should be taxed to support the const survey, the revenue marine, the seaconst defenses and the life saving service, and that they be relieved from bearing their proportion of taxes avplied largely for thelocal benefit of the coast line states. Even the Now York ITerald would ad- mit the absurdity of such a proposi- Overone- tion, The national government is the distributor of the nation’s reve- nue for national purposes. Once concede that river improvement of common benefit and the source from which it must come is mamfest, Another series of objoctions to the improvement of our great waterways comes from tho railroad kings. The transportation problem has already become seriously complicated by the introduction of competition by river a8 a factor, During the past season the influence of the wheat and corn tows down the Mississippi has made itself felt Lon eastern produce rates. When freight amounting to sixty trains of sixteen cars each is moved to tide water at nearly one half tho sum charged by the railronds for like scrvice, it can easily be soen why the railrcads are opposed to the improvement of the river by the na- tional government, The improve- ment of natural channels ot transpor- tation means the regulation of the ar- tificial highways for trade and traflic, With open rivers, which cannot be bought, pooled or cunsolidated, and which cannot be forced into discrimi nation againat those who use their ad- vantages, thepower of the corporations to coerce shippers into compliance with their extortions will be seriously cur- tailed. Tho rivers are the natural rivals of the railroads, and the opposi- tion of the monopolies and their organs to government improvement of these natural channels of transporta- tion should not be a matter of surprise to petsons conversant with railroad policy, But whatever the present opposition in the cast to the direct improvement of the great waterways of the con tinent, the people of the country may bo sure that ihie timo is not far distant when the demands of tho west will doubtless be favorably received by the republican press and will be vigorous- ly supported by his friends in con aross. not be suffered to T'he | strong eentiment poople s unhecded, f our | daily growing stronger and is forcing | itself upon the attention of their rep- rosentatives, Self-interest in not ab- sent from the motives of most con- orossmen and senators and that solf- interest will be strongly appealed to by their constituents, No represen- tative whone views on the supjoct are not known to be sound and who has not courage to act upon such convic- tions In the national legislature need hope to gain the confidence or votes of the people of the great basin of the Mississippi. SOUME MORE HASOALITY. 1t the republicans of Douglas county aro defeated at the polls next Tuesday, they can justly charge that disaster to Governor Nance. More than a year ago Tr Bee called the attention of the governor to the out- rage perpetrated v'pon our citizons by Isaac S. Hancall as registrar of the sec- ond ward. Mr. Hascall's propensity to abuse the power conferred upon him as registrar was notorious. At the city election last spring Hascall tried to disfranchise a majority of the voters of the second ward by shirking his sworn duty to register their names, Ho delayed publication of his registration notices and absented himself from the placo of registration advertised over his own name. Hun- dreds ot votera called not only once but several times at his place of regia- tration, but he was not to be found, and they were compelled on election day to swear their votes in by filving the requisito affidavits.. The outraged voters had their opportune revenge, and nearly all of them voted against Hascall, who was then running for mayor, and a mejority of the disfran- chised republicans voted not only against Haacall but the whole republican ticket. Under the cir- cumstarices and with these facts made public through the press it was to have been expected that Governor Nance would promptly cancel Hascall's commission as regis- trar and appoint somebody in com- pliance with the law, that requires registrars to be men known for their high moral standing and known in- tegrity. The governor has, however, seen fit to ignore Hascall's lawlessness and allows him to repeat the lawless trickery this fall. The prospect now is that a majority of the legal voters of the Second ward #ill again be put to the trouble and inconvenienco that results from a fail- uro to be registered. Instead of complying with the law that requires registrars to give public notice of their sitting in September, and pub- lishing the list of registered voters known to him personally to be enti- tled to vote, Hascall has not paid the slightest attention to law, and so far has published no list, as all other reg- iutrars have done It is known toa tew, however, that he is registering voters occasionally this week ot a Thirteenth street saloon. Only five moro days to election, and the chances are that the scenes of last spring will be re-enacted next Tuesday at the second ward polls. If the republican candidates have any desire to poll a fair vote in the second | P ward, they ought to prevail upon Hascall to show some respect for the office he holds, and insist that he should serve proper notice upon the voters, and afford all of them a chance to have their names registered. Tur situation of the city of New York as the result of the long drouth The water supply is down to the lowest amount ever known, The Croton river is running only from eight to ton million gallons a day, and the city consumes 95,000,000 of gallons every twenty-four hours. The storage lakes in Central Park contain only 1,100,- 000,000 gallons, and the supply inside the river dam is found to bo less than one-tenth of the amount usual under ordinary circumstances. The authorities have already cut down the domestic supply, and thoe situation is deemed 8o critic: that there has been talk of shutting down the water furnished to manufac- torics, The greatest danger appre- hended is in case of fire. Five steam tugs have been accepted by the fire commissioners fronl private parties, fitted up with fire apparatus, and sta- tionod along the East river. In addi- tion a supply of dynamite has been laid in, and a corps of sappers and miners drilled to its use for the pur- pose of blowing wp buildings in case of a threatened destructive conflagra- tion, is dangerous in the extreme, Tre proposed appoinlment of ex- Senator Howe, of Wisconein, to a cab- inet position is regarded with favor in his own state Hon, Horace Rublee, the editor of the Milwaukee Republi- can, and a pronounced anti-third- termer, gives Mr. Howe's appoint- ment a cordial ondorsement. Whilo differing with him on the renomina- tion of Gen, Grant Mr, Rublee re- gards Howe as a very able and incor- rupfible man, whose ripe experience would eminently fit him for the cabi- net. This is also the opinion of the leading ropublicans of botb factions in Wisconsin, and we take it that a public man who stands well at howe will fully sustain his roputation abroad. Mz, (APMAN, of the Council Blufls Nonpareil, has just discovered that ho isu't a bigger man than Grant, Not content with the lucrative office of United States marshal which he has held for seven years, Chapman has sought to dictate all the other federal appointments in his county, even when his preferred candidate was notoriously unpopular and ob noxious.

A Terrible Drawback. 8. P. Chroniele The Reciprocity Treaty between the United States and the Hawaiian King- dom, which, contrary to all reasonable expectation, has caused the revolting social condition on the island planta- tions heretofore described in these col- umns, was designed on the part of our Government to quicken and expand commercial relations between the two countries. We weroand are imposing a duty of two and a half to five cents per pound on sugar imports from all other countries. By the treaty we agreed to admit Hawaiian rice, coffee and sugar free. We thought, and it was tho one argument in favor of the treaty, that it would cheapen the price of sugar in the Pacific States and Ter- ritories, and result in a great enlarge- ment of trade in San Francisco, the commercial emporium of these States and Territories, The Chronicleshared in this view and supported the treaty with its customary enorgy inany cause it believes to bo good. The result has utterly disappointed oxpectation. Not only has the busi- ness of sugar making on the islands tallen into the hands of a soulless and and grasping monopoly, but the same monopoly has extended its operations here in a form that has become a ter- ror to all our merchants and a most severe tax upon every consumer of sugar on this coast. The price of sugar is on the average higher than betore the treaty. It was put up by the monopoly to an advance ,exactly equal to the formerduty. Merchants in New York pay two anda half to five cents duty on gugar imports from Cuba and elsewhere, and yet sell by wholesale at lower rates than the island monopoly charges here. But for a combination between this sugar monopoly and the mailway monopoly New York would supply us in sugar at lower rates here than the islands do. The two monopolies share the profits of the oppression. The railway re- fuses special contracts on sugar ship- ments. The railroad’ controls the steamship company; and the Cape Horn route is too long and slow. The sugar monopoly taboos every local merchant who dares buy sugar at the east, and in case the eastern supply gives out here at auy time, such mer- chants cannot buy a pound of sugar from the island monopoly. The profits of the monopoly reach enormous figures. A moderate esti- mato of Sir Claus Speckels’ gain is 82,190,000 a yéar, or 86,000 a day. This is the tax, or most of it- for Speckels represents the monopoly-— which the treaty imposes on Cali forma, Oregon, Nevada and the Paci fic coast territories, Tt in fact com- ols us to pay this ono man and his confederates $2,190,000 a year sub- sidy. We are great and growling con- sumers of sugar. We are doing some thing in the way of manufactures of preserved fruits, and hope in a few years to do ten or {wenty times as much. This subsidy is dead against that promising business, 1t has put the business of refining sugar, once a great one, in this city, entirely in the hands or under the control of the island monopoly. In the light of these facts the treaty becomes not only a failure, but a mon- strous oppression_to the people of the Pacific States and Territories. It was expected that it would people the islands with intelligent and prosper- ous immigrants from the United States, who would build up there a wiser and better systemof civilization. Itis filling them with ,coolies and slaves, white, black and brown, and promoting and establishing the most abominable form of servitude that ever existed anywhere. The treaty, then, whether we regard its immoral tenden- cies or its deadly, blighting influence on business, should be abrogated as speedily as possible, Tt is mot only adverse to our interests, but also to the interest of every importer ot sugar on the Atlantic coast, and to the plant- ers of Lounisinna. We presentthefacts to these classes and to our own mer- s and consumers, and ask them operate with us in thisenterprise. OCOIDENTAL JOTTINGS.

A eommittee of the San Frantisco chamber of commerce hive conferred with the mines - nd {armera dirgetly interested, for the the purpose of amicably settling the question and fostering both " interests.
