As a matter of fact the Bek is the only paper in Omahathat is always Teady to take its patrons iuto its full con- fidence. Its subscription books and its press room are always open for publie in- #pection. The growth of the BEE 1s by no means of the mushroom order. It has not sprung up ina day, but has grown steadily from week to week, and month to month. It has created no boom by artificial inflation, or by flooding newsdealers with papers which remain unsold on_their counters. Its circulation represants bona fide sub- goribers, who patronize the paper on its merit alone. It is our purpose from now on to keep our advertising patrons fully informed .with regard to the circulation of the ALY Bee, Sworn statements will be published cach week for the prededing | weok. These exhibits can be verified at any time by comparison with the record of our press room and the hooks in the business oflice. Since the first of last December the BEE has added over 2,700 copies to its daily edition. This increase alone represcnts within a few hundreds as many papers as are 1ssued by any other newspaper estab- lishment in Omaha, omitting Sunday editions. The growth of the BEE, however, is mothing remarkable. It has simply kept pace with the growth of Nebraska and Ahe Missouri valley. Tre Bxe still loads the procession in the newspaper field of Omaha. Mz. Irons is a wicked conspirator. Jay Gould, who denounces him as such, " 48 a noble minded public benefactor. | BisMARCK’s political stomach takes ~more kindly to the Prussian diet since it has included his plan to appropriate a Jundred million marks to buy out the Polish land owners. THERE seems to be no question that the president is to be married this summer and that the White House will haye a mew mistress before the leaves begin to turn. Miss Cleveland's views upon the ~ “invisiblo waist” will soon cease to be o i matter of national interest. Now that the planting season is here farmers will do well to remember the . sdvice of the venerable Orange Judd with reforence to the solection of secd. Plant large, full, round kernels, break - off the tops of the ears and take off the Jast three irregular rows on the butt | and plant the middle kernals, Mr. Judd 3 misés a 10 per cent botler crop if is advice 18 followed. Much of the | disappointments of harvest arise from " the carelessness of farmers in selecting ‘THE spring has been a late one through- out this section of the west, but reports Arom various parts of the state show that Nebraska farmers are doing their best to ' make up for lost time and that the acre- of corn will be largely increased over ~ ghat of last year. Corn is king and no ‘Where is his rule more sccure than in Ne- braska. The disadvantages of the heavy erops and consequent low prices will be _ avercome fust in proportion as Nebraska " farmers sell them on the hoof instead of on * the sar. Condensation of corn products into hog and meat products is to be one | of the future benanzas of this great and _growing commonwealth. A —— THE bill to incrense the salaries of [ Judges of United States courts to a uni- ' form amount of $5,000a year was defeated ‘some time ago, by a tie vote in the house pmittee on the judiciary. Last Thurs- gy, however, the vote was reconsidered. probability now is that a bill grading salarvies of judges according to the nt of work usually done by the over which they preside will be ed and adopted by the house. A well paid judiciary is a cheap investment 1 ¢ it attracts able men to the bench. we are s0 many ‘“‘wooden” judges wanniog seats in our courts, that it is i m‘u difiieult to distinguish ' the udge from the beuch. Practical Profit Sharing. A large Omaha firm of plumbers and gasfitters, Messrs, Welshans & McEwan, have the distinction of leading the way with a practical scheme of sharing the profits of their busincss with their em- ployes. They have issued a circular stat- ing that beginning with May 6th they will divide all profits, after dedueting 10 per cent for interest on actual capital, equally upon a basis of the total amount of wages paid and the capital employed. Some weeks ago the BEe commented up- on the system of profit sharing introduced in the granite quarries of Westerly, Rhode Island, and which was in its essential features the same as that proposed by our Omaha fir Since t time a number of companies and firms in the east have announced to their workmen that they have determined to give the new system atrial. There is much to indicate that in certain branches this idea will be exten- sively experimented upon in tthe near fu- re employes wish higher wages the introduction of this system is equivalent to a promise that such in- crease will be granted as soon and for as i capital can afford it. ved that profit sharing is especially adapted to shops where the number of hands employed is so small that all know each other and exercise a certain oversight over each other’s work. In such a shop, too, the managers are personally known to each of the hands and are brought into close contact with them. The owners are often managers, and in such cases the chances of putting the s) jon is especially good. upon which this ex- periment is based is better known, it will not be surprising if oveanizad yorking- men, instead of demanding higher wages make their proposition an alternative one of more wages or a prospective share in net earnings. Cause for Alarm. Out here in Omaha where w troubled very much by specul railroad sccurities, some surprise will be created by the assertions of the New York vening Post that the only opposition to the Union Pacitic funding bill comes from Wall street stock jobbers, who want to depress the price of Union Pacific securities. If it were not for the known relations of the New York Postto one of the Pacific railroad syndicates, we should almost be led to believe that its control has passed into the hands of the heirs of Oakes Ames, That there is a lobby at Washington which inter- osts itself in Pacific ratlroad legislation is an established fact. But the expenses of this lobby will not be sad- dled upon any Wall street bear. They will undoubtedly find their way to the ledger of the Union Pacific railway under the head of “lubricator,”” among the oporating expenses. The assertion of the Post is called forth by the Henley resolutions, which pro- pose an investigation into the methods of book-keeping by the Pacific roads. This is denounced as an ingenious attempt to beat the eighty-year funding bill, and at the same time to extend free passes to & congressional junket- ing committee who want to visit the coast. Such stupid stuff from a high- toned metropolitan journal like the Post1s discreditable to its common sense. In the first place, passes to the Pacitic const can be had for the asking by any congress- man. At the present price of tickets to San Francisco they are scarcely worth applying for. Congressman Henley, who is lampooned as a mere cat's-paw of a New York stock jobber’s lobby, knows what he is about. If his resolution is de- signed to defeat the passage of the fund. ing bill, it is done notonly in the interest of his California constituents but of the whole country west of the Missouri. The funding bill is not, as represented, a scheme to secure payment of the Pacific railroad debt without erippling the road, but a scheme to pile fifty millions of fraudulent debt upon the company, legal- ize millions of fittitious stock and make the patrons of the road bear the onerous burden in the shape of railroad tolls for two generations to come. Such a scheme concerns Wall street jobbers very little, but 1t does concern the producers of the region tributary to the Pacific roads very much, It is to them vital and far reaching. It involves not only the growth but the prosperity of half the American conti- nent. The blighting lect of the measure oan dly be exaggerated. It means freight rates based on fixed charges of a road bonded and stocked at $105,000 a mile when its actual value is not 80,000 per mile. It means that the people of this region shall pay the interest and principal of this enormous debt while the stock job- bers will pocket millions on millions of dividends for a road stripped of all its resources by railroad wreckers, who have left it ina bankrupt condition, Temporary rate cutting between the Union Pacific and rival lines may oceur from time to time, but it will afford no relief to its patrons, If competition is to be effective and constant, the funding bill will do no good to the company. Compel the Union Pacific to compete with & road stocked and bonded at $30,- 000 to §50.000 a mile and it would be ns bankrupt after us before its passage. The only way to make a funding bill effective would be by an alliance with rival lines after its passage, to maintain high rates, This simply would mean rates as high as the traflic will bear with- out depopulating the seution tributary to the roads. The through traflic nec sarily will be divided between five or six transcontinental roads. The bulk of the earnings would be wrung from the peo- ple along the lines who are at their merey in local traflic. Does not this fact aflford sufticient cause for alarm for the future, and justify an eurnest protest aguinst the pussage of this vicious legis- lationt 1f the Wall street bears can hug the life out of such an iniquitous scheme, the people of this region who are not blinded by railway patronage or terror- izad by its influence, will bid them God speed. Another step towards assuring Omaha’s future as a great commercial center has been taken by the South Omaha syndi- date. A contract has been closed with Fowler & Bros, of Chieago, who rank among the largest pork packers in the world, by which that firm will operate a great packing house at the stock yards just as soon as the buildings for that pur- pose can be orected. When we say that the capacity of this concevn is to be three times that of Boyd's packi lvmd that 1t will be operated all the THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. MONDAY. APRIL 19, 1888 year around, winter and the magnitude of this enterprise oan be best appreciated. The Fowler Bros. are not middle men, but have their depot at Liverpool. Nebraska's principal product will always be corn, and con- densed into hog product, it will always be a profitable crop. Cincinnati became a great eity as the porkopols of Amer- ica, but she is now altogether too far from cheap corn. What Cincinnati was twenty-five years ago Omaha will become within the next ten years. Right here i a practical lesson in the matter of en- couraging manufactures. The South Omaha company has from tho start offered the most liberal inducements to industrial enterprises in the way of lands and buildings, Its managers have had the business sense to see that every fac tory located-on its tract enhanced the value of the surrounding property and made a steady market for its lands. Asa consequence, the South Omaha syndicate are reaping rich returns on their invest- ment, as they deserve to do. The same methods will bring success in other por- tions of the city sammer, Conspiracies and Conspirators, Martin Trons and two other Knights of Labor have been indicted at the instance Gould for conspiracy in {amper- th the private telegraph wire mto Manager Hoxie's office. In many re- spects this bombshell fired by Jay Gould into the camp of the striking knights is of u picce with the famous safe burglary with which our governor achieved such unpl it prominence. The one was a job put up by state officers and de- teetives to inveigle a eripple eriminal into a da5light burglury, The other is a job put up between the managers of the rail- roads and their detectives to leaders of the Knights of Labor into an attempt to eavesdrop on ¢ Gould's wires, in order to capture the correspon- dence between Gould and Hoxie. In both s the conspirators were the ones who pretended to be anxious to vindieate the law.

What would have been said or thought if the grand jury had indicted Jay Gould’s managers and superintendents for this flagrant out- rage? Here wasa company taking forcible sion of the property of anoths ying telegraph lines in open v tion of the laws which make it o peni- tenti offense. We don't pretend to argue that Irons and his colleagues were justified in t tempting to capture Hoxie’s and Gould telegrams but the way in which this job was put up to create a sensation and ter- ights of Labor is on a par with the treachery and double dealing displayed by the king of monopolis his conference with Powderly. Consp acies against life are crimes except when gommitted by millionairas and stock-joly: bing railroad managers. The Land Bill. Mr. Gladstone fulfilled his promise by introducing on Friday in parliament the ministerial bill for the purchase of Irish lands. The details of the nieasure as re- ported by cable do not differ materially from the predictions of the past few weeks. The bill is a necessary corallary to the home rule bill. The British gov- ernment advances £180,000,000 to Ireland at 8 per cont. for the purchase of agricul- tural lands and its sale to the peasantry as tenants, The Irish parliament is to have full charge of the purchases and al- lotment of the lands, commissions are to fix yaluds, and twenty years rental is to be the nommal purchase. The land bill,following the measure for home rule, completes Mr. Gladstone’s comprehensiye provosals for Irish reform of English methods of governingjIreland. The land bill furnishes a means of re- moving the curse of a forcign landlord- ism without reducing the landed proprie- tor to penury. The home rule bill gives and the control of her own laws and their execution, without separating her from the kingdom. It was ashrewd device by which Mr. Gladstone first introduced home rule and then land purchase. The tear of the first will drive the landed in- terests to the support of the second, and the passage of either assures the enact- of the other. What a remarkable week it has been in English history. Criticism must be si- lent 1n the presence of such splendid courage on the part of the premier. He far transcended Peel's attitude of half a century ago in attacking the corn laws, in the grandeur of his position, as ho rose in his place, the first minister of her majesty’s government and cooly denounced and demoiished the coeraive folly of a century, A more rev- olutionary spectacle has not been preo- sented in Great Britain since Charles I, lost his hoad. The nobility, the peerage, and all the artificial fabric of past priv- ilege look on with amazement and alarm. It is their doom and with it the doom of rule by bayonets and blood, the begin- ning of the fateful end of a wicked ac- cumulation of wealth and power wrung from the sweat crowned brows of an op- pressed but dauntless people. —_——— ime that the Grant Monument as- socintion in New York should close their books and give up their ambitious scheme of building a million dollar memorial. “The subscription is now being increased at an average rate of only fifty cents a y.
