The house committee on public lands has followed the senate committee in re- porting a bill to repeal the pre-emption, timber culture and desert land acts. If the strong lobby of stock growers, timber syndicates and land grabbers, who were strong enough last year to defeat a mea- sure of the same kind, do not succeed in throwing dust in the eyes of congress the bill will doubtless pa: It is hgh time that it should. Every day the revela- tions of the operations of the land grabbers furnishes new arguments to prove that our loosly drawn laws furnish no obstacles to the greed of the swindlers who are robbing the coun- try of its national domain. Special in spectors of the land department report that 99 per cent of the land which is now being taken in Minnesota under the homestend and pre-cmption acts is en- tered with a view to securing the timber upon it, and not for actual settiement, and that a large portion of the entries made in Dakota have been fraudulently made. A few d ago the United States grand jury at San Francisco found in- dictments against eight prominent citi- zens of California for subornation of per- jury in securing fraudulent entries of red- wood timber land in Humboldt county. The men indicted represent millions of capital, and the investigations of aspecial agent sent out by the interior depart- ment to investigate the matter showed that they were all members of the Cali- fornia Redwood company, the capital for which was mainly subscribed in Scot- land. The indicted parties procured about 600 American citizens to take up 160 acres of land each, for which each received 850. The entries were in all cases immediately conveyed to David Evans. The California Redwood com- pany arterward sent an agent to Scotland to form a syndicate and scll the lands. The syndicate paid the California Red- wood company $20 per acre for the land, which, as shown, the latter had fraudu- lently purchased from the government for $2.50 an acre. Testimony has been obtained from more than 100 persons e accepted bribes, and the land involved embraces 96,000 acres of the best redwood timber on thy ific coast. A correspondent of the New York Herald who has been investigating the subject, writes from New Mexioo that fully 90 per cent of the entries made in that territory during the past five years under the pre- emption law have been fraudulent, while the desert land and timber culture acts have been used to gobble up millions of acres of land for the use of the caftle barons. The same correspondent, who has within the past week been pur- suing his investigations in northwestern Nebraska reports thut the same kind of work has been going on in that section of the state, and that the cattle companics are the principal offonders. For miles along the Niobrara river the land has been taken up by cowboysand as soon as final proof has been made it has been turned in to the owners of the stock ranges. Tho timo Las 6sfae when a halt must be 2ried to this wholesale plundering of the nation’s domain. The pre-emption law has outlived its usefulness, [t was originally intended to dispose of a por- tion of the immense surplus of land owned by the government. Now that the surplus has dwindled down to a mere fraction of its former proportions, there is no reason why the pre-emption law should be longer retained on the statute book. The homestead bill will be ample for all the requirements of actual set- tlers. Its provisions offer few induce- ments for fraud, and can be more read- jly enforced. Powderly and Eight Hours. Master Workman Powderly is reported as saying that while he is in favor of lessening the hours of labor, he is not yet certain that the country is prepared for the change. The Trades Assembly of Chicago seem to take a different view of the question, for they have already issued their circular announcing May 1st as the day for the inauguration of the eight hours system in that city. Mr. Powderly is wise in his cautiousness. He is far sighted enough to understand that re- duced hours of labor will not be an unmixed blessing to workingmen. Two hours more out of the twenty-four fore leisure does not necessarily mean any addition to the comforts of life. Even if ten hours pay is demanded and grant- ed, workingmen will receive no more than they are now receiving asa day's wages. But there is still another point to be taken into consideration. Shorter hours and the same pay for workingmen mean an increased cost of production and consequently a decrease in the purchasing power of the dollar. Ona basis of two hours less work for the same pay, manufacturers will have to add a heavy per cont to the price of goods to secure the same profit as before the reduction of hours. The re- sult of this must be an increase in the case of every artiote into which labor enters. Workingmen with the same wages as before the reduction in the hours of labor will have to be content with considerably less of the comforts and necessities of lite which they now en- joy. There would be a provortionate decrease in the purchasing power of the dollar under the increased cost of pro- duction. ‘r'his is what Mr. Powderly means when he says that while hours for a day's work is desirable in some respects it is of doubtful expediency at present. On the other hand thore strong arguments used in favor of the duced hours of labor. It is claimed by its advocates that reduced hours would mean employment for the unemployed and that the mareh of invention, new machinery and devices for decreasing the cost of production would sooner or later pro- duce results oqual to those now produced on & ten hows basis, Butit will take time to bring about these results. That cight hours will shortly be the ordinary days work there is little question. Work- ingmen should be prepared to accept the consequence Jobbing and Manufactures. A number of new wholesale lirms have completed fingl srrangements to locate in Omahs, and there are more to follow. Every addition to Omaha’s attractions as a good commercial market with the ben- | efits of competition in the various liues of trade is 10 be welcomed. A great siate with a great turnitory back of 1t is tribu- tary to this eit; Omaha is the natural depot of supplies for a lurge section of the country. she actual distributer of goods and a mar- ket for the products of the tributary re- gion depends entirely upon her ability On to compete with other trade conters. this account we need more whole: firms in the difterent branches of firms composed of live, wide-awake men, anxious to build up a large business and ready to do it on as small a margin as their competitors in Kansas City and elsewhere. With railroad rates, stable and equal, suceessful competition will de- pend largely upon the amount of capital and the business ability of the men engaged in turning it over. In several branches of wholesale trade, Omaha is to-day as well equipped as any of her competitors, She is ready to meet all comers and match prices and goods, and she is doing it to the satisfaction of dealers nd of customers. But in other lines we o not so well equipped and these are the branches which enterprising whole- salers from elsewhere are hurrying in to fill en more important to the city than its wholesale facilities are its manu- facturing inte Right here is where Omaha must advanee if she proposes to lold her own in the steadily moving pro- cession of western cities. he wholesale trade gives a. city commercial impor- tance, but it adds comparatively little to its population and municipal expansion. 0sts, All the wholesale houses in Omaha combined scarcely employ more hands than a smgle one of our large factories.

Reports from throughout the country show few material changes in the trade ha again leads the coun- entage of the increase of bank clearings, and this evidence of the volume of business transacted shows outside of New York an increase of ten per cent over last year. Despite the strikes which haye aflected trade unfa- vorably wherever they have been in op- eration, the general distributive move- ment comy favorably with recent and with the same time last year. ther conditions have been more favorable to spring work on farms and have maintained an encouraging out- look for the growing wheat crop. The unsettled condition of the industrial situ- ation is still causing uneasiness in com- mercial circles, and is retarding some- what building operations throughout the The dry goods distribution is moderately active, buta large percentage of the shipments from first hands is in execution of back orders, as the larger wholesale houses have already made pro- vision for the bulk of their spring trade requirements. Prices are a shade higher for & print feloths, and generally very steady for desirable makes of both cotton and woolen goods. The grain market is without important change in general features. Receipts of cornatall seaboard centers are very light, and there is a fair demand for export and home consumption, but comparatively little speculation. Prices are about the same as last week. Wheat values have advanced 1 cent per bushel in the Kastern markets, and about 4 cent in the west, after ruling lower in the interval. The export demand is fair, and considerable business has been done-in spring wheat for through shipment from the west to Europe. Prospects are favorable for a larger outward movement as soon as navigation opens, und the general outlook for export demand during the next few months is more en- couraging. Conservative operators are inclined to avoid the short side of the market at prosent, as there are intima: tions of a projected corner in the May option in New York and Chi There has been some improvement in the home trade distribution of meats, and prices of beef products are higher; but there has been little speculation in hog products, and the markets for the latter are gen- erally a shade lower. Silk Culture in Nebraska, We have received from Miss M. C. Gil- more, of David City, Nebraska, an in- structive little pamphlet on the subject of silk culture, which tells in the sim- plest words how to rear silk worms. The work is compiled from her own experi- ence, and the experience of a few others who have made a grand success of silk culture. According to Miss Gilmore the rearing of silk worms is a very re- munerative occupation for farmers’ wives and daughters, to whom it is es- pecially adapted. The worms can be readily reared upon any farm having mulberry and osage hedges, which flur ish in Nebraska soil. Silk culture is be- coming quite popular, not only in Ne- braska but in other states, as it is a very ecasy and fascinating way of making money. According to the census of 1880 there were 126 silk tories in New York, 47 in Philadelphia, 82 in New dJersey, and quite a number in Connecticut. The annual silk product of New York is valued at $7,500,000; that of New Jersey, $10,000,000; that of Philadelphia, 2,600,000; that of South Manchester, Conn., where the larg- est factories are located, is not known. During the year 1885, the people of Cali- fornia established a board of silk culture to buy up the silk of thatstate and to pro- mote the silk industry. The reward for this is that California is about 2,000,000 better oft to-duy. In March of this year, there were sixteen car louds of raw silk sent at one time to New York, the value of which wus over §1,000,000. So it will be secn tha there is a ready market at profitable prices for all the silk that can be raised. Miss Gilmore says in her pamphlet that one ounce of eggs will produce 40,000 worms, half of these are females and will produce, at the lowest count, 800 eggs apiece, which makes a crop of 150 our.ces of eggs. This aggregates $750 for eight weeks’ wor an investment of tive dollars. Such turn as this ought to induce every farmer |, in Nebraska to plant mulberry and osage hedges, so that the wowmen of the farm can make their spending money with but littte exertion. It beats all other erops Whether she is to become | in the returns. received. The subject is oue that will bear investigation by the farmers’ wives and daughters of Ne- braska. Mr. Srarks still holds thefort, and de- clines to either permit pim self to be jun- officially kicked out or to resign.

There has been uncarth in the de- t of the interior some of the most villianous land frauds which ever dis- graced any country. Had the president not rescinded the order of General Sparks, general land commissioner, who held in abeyance patents until fraudulent claims could be investigated, the thicves who have deprived actual scttlers of their rights and monopolized the domain in- tended for future settlers would have been shown up in all their odious colors, From time to time this paper has called attention to the gigantic grabs by rail- road companies of public domain in the and southwest and also to the swin- lles perpetrated in the name of pre-cmp- tion. The warning was sounded that the public domaiy was being taken up, too, by American and British syndicates, among the Iatter being several peers who were looking to tenantry in the west and southwest a8 compensation for prospective losses at home. Recently some bdf the press eaught up those warnings as oviginal and the action of the commissioner of the general land office, and the rescinding of his or- der by the president, who scemed to have listened to the land barons and cat tle barons at an unfortunate hour, have furnished them with a full supply of dignation which was not before ma fested.

The boycott has atttracted much atten- tion in this country of late by reason of its frequent use in labor disputes. A case in point is that of Mrs. Gray, a ba- ker in New York. She employed six men who did not belong to the union, and who, being satistied with their hours .and their wagos, refused to join. A com- mittee from the organization thereupon notified her that she n.ust dismiss her employes or prepare for a boycott.
