FASTERN papers report heavy stecrage Tists of pussengers retavning Lo Burope. Many of the returning immigrants are miners, some farmers, and some skilled artisans who find it harder to mako a living in the United States than in Bu- rope. An English moulder arrvived last week in Philadelphia who had walked with his wife and six children all the way from Potersburg, Virginia, to take the steamer o England. This is a most prognant commentary on the prevailing industrial depression, Tug cable announces the death in Paris of Frederick Hassaurck, for many y owner and editor of the Cincinnati Vouksblutt, and onc of the ablest German editors of this country. Landing in this country with so many political exiles in 1849, Mr. Hassaurck rapidly prominence by his strength of chs and vigorous pen.

His advice to farmers is to dig out for their dug-outs, or cyclone- cellurs, whenever a tornado comes along. “The advice is good, but it is unne sary, us the people living in cyclone ro- gions have long ago 1 their only r fety. Licutenant Finloy is proparing o map to show from tho records of several years tha ave number of tornadoes for each lod per annum. It is said that intending purchasers of land frequently app'y to “tho signal oftice for information regard- ing the linbility of their selectad locality to disaster. Finley's' map will, there- foroe, supply a much felt want. It is inti- mated that it will greatly narrow the so- eallod tornado regions, and probably show that large portions of them have mever been visited bya destructive storm. New Yorg prohibitionists have made the alarming discovery that Ira Daven- *port, the republican candidate for gov- wrnor, is president of the Pleasant Valley Wine company. We venturo the tion that this fact will guin Mr. Daven- port fully as many votes us he loses by it. A mild and wholesome wine such as is made in our American vineyards east, if Brought into gencral use, would form one of the most effective promoters of tam- perance. It isa fact which many fanati- eal advoeutes of total abstinence could discover if they would, thut the nse of Hght wines and beer has done much to drive out the fiery fuids which the Amenieans used to drink almost to exclu- sign. Should such wines as Mr. Daven- port’s company has extracted from the grape come into general fuvor and utterly banish whisky aud other patent spivits from popular consumption there would be little use for prohibition parties, and the rum guestion would be entircly #ewsoved from American polities, S0 Additional Railroads for Omaha.

It will b better for Dakota and for the republican party, which has cham- pioned her claims, if she forces the dem- ocracy to show plainly their hand in de- nying her her rights under the constitu- tion. Persistent refusal on the part of the democrats to do justice to Dakota will make abroad issue between tho partios which honest and independent voters will not ignore. Trimming and compromise when political principles are atstuke do not pay in the long run while stendy adherence to honest and equitable demands is bound, sooner or later, to gain the public ear and popular vote. Tue city tax list has been handed over to the treasurer for collection. The ag- gregate value of real property in the city is placed at a little less than $7,000,000, and that of personal property at some- what under §3,000,000. This is a very damaging exhibit, and should impress upon the people the necessity of a radi- cal ¢changoe in the assessors. The n ity of the present assessors have held their office for years. They want to pan- der to certain property owners and dis- regard wholly their sworn duty. Thore are glwing discrepancios be- tween their assessments and the actual value of the property When it goes sbroad that a city of of 65,000 people, with an area aslarge as any city of 200,000 has less than $7,000,000 worth of assessed real estate, the im- pression is ereated that it is & mushroom town with a large floating population, and with very little confidence among the property owners in its stability. On the other hand, when capitalists who desire to invest in Omaha are told that the city taxes aro 86 mills on the dollar and the city and county. tax to- gether nearly six per cent, they are frightened out and come o the conclu- sion that we are hopelessly in debt and that the government must be in the hands of highweyen, As a matter of fact, our taxes nre us low or lower than those of any eity of our rank when the sctunl value of the proporly assessed is | cre THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, WEDNESDAY, ()("I‘OBF‘R 7. 1885, |lu-l| into rmu-n[q-r.‘:(!nn. values of Omaha to-dny £060,000,000 and ! is only 10 per cent of actual valae is property in Omaha which pays taxes on one-fourth of its neteal value, and somo at one-third, But u laege propor- sod ridiculously Tow, Aiding Par 1N The enthu fully ment Thero are tion is asse: astic support which Trish ans seem determined to furnish Parnell in his patlivmentary policy is worthy of every | Parnell him- self is of American descent. The riss of his powerful influence in Treland and London has been greatly assisted in the past by the sinews of war which he ha received from goncrous and patrioti countrymen on this side of the water. To the hard-carned dollars of Irish Amer- feans is due as much as to any one do of Parnell and his nobla j tors, the suceess of tho campaign against ek rents, and eviction, which raised its champion to the popular peerage as the uncrowned king of Lreland, Mr. Parnell necds aid ying out his wide reach- ing policy of securing logislativ independence for Treland. He must and will sccure the greater part of it from this countr, But that aid must boof a practical kind, Appointments of com- mitte » stump Ireland and back Par- nellin the old country will not fill the requirements. Dollars and cents are what are needed—doll and sense it might bo written—not traveling expenses and buncombe. Me. Parnell and his corps of licutonants may bo depended upon to make the campaign themselves » far as meetings and specches are con- cerned, if thay ara backed by means which they cannot sccure from the im- poverished people in whose interests they are working. We are inclined to believe that the ex- ample of New York Irishmen in contrib- uting to a fund to send stump speakers across the wator will not be generally en- dorsed. Ttis already condemned by the most prominent Irishmen of the country. Monev not men is what the leader of the national movement needs most to-day in prozocuting his plans.
