Without a general reduction in hours all over the country success was impossible. But shorter hours will certainly be forth- eoming sooner or later. The ball was sot in motion and is not yet at rest. The net result of the agitation is that 190,000 employes secured concessions in time and wages or in both, and that the whole eountry was set to thinking about the question of reduced hours of iabor as it never did before, « ONLY five votes were finally cast in the senato against the Staten Island barge hill, which will permit the Baltimore & Ohio railroad to reach New York harbor without paying tribute to the Pennsylya- nia railrond company.

There is not a grain of jealousy on the part of Omaha when she notes the growth and progress of the smaller cities and towns of Nebraska. Why should there be* The same causes which contribute to het own growth are aiding in their de- velopment. The same state surrounds them. the same public spirit and enter- prise on the part of their citizenship grasps opportunities as they present themselves and turns them to the local advantage. Every new local trade center, built up from village to town, and from town to ciiy, opens & wider field in which Omaha merchants can compete for business Every dollar invested in 1mprovements, every community made more attractive for foreign capital only adds to the wealth and stability of the state of which Omaha's growth is only the reflection, and in whose material prosperity the prosperity of this eity is so largely bound up. Omaha has grown and is growing because she has Nebraska and the west back of her. Her busincss men realize thoroughly that their commercial inter- ests depend upon their abiiity to build up and maintain business relations with their customers ns against all com- petitors. The wider the ficld the better the opportunity, The stronger and larger and richer and more prosperons our cities of the sccond class and our towns rapidly ap- proaching this dignity, the better for all concerned, So far from there being any ground for 't of Omaha ity ot Lincoln, and } Ings, and Fremont, Beatrice and Gr Island, and a half dozen other of our prosperous and growing cities and towns, there is only room for mutual Nebraska needs of just such acti bustling, busy and prospering communi ties, and Omaha will most cordially ex- tend her felicitations as they keep pace with her own growth and the general growth of the state in which they them- selves are no inconsiderable an element. The Business Situation. There is an improved feeling noted in commercial circles, owing to the partial adjustment of labor troubles, but the gen- eral volume of business throughout the country has not materially increased during the past week. Reports from eastern centres note thatthe fear that the mpairment of the purchasing power of a large class of consumers by the strikes and lock-outs of the past two months will operate to the disadvantage of dis- tributors for some months to come, is causing a good deal of hesitancy in the demand for many lines of manufactured goods. This is especially noticeable in the unwillingness of small manufactur- ing concerns and country jobbers to con- tract for supplies i advance of present wants. The scrutiny of manufacturing credits is a little closer m certain quarters, owing to the unsatisfactory condition and pros; some branches of trade. Generally, ever, the weeks developments indi brightening outlook for business. The recent storms and sudden changes of temperature have done little if any harm to leading agricultural interests, and the favorable crop promise contributes to promote confidence in gradually improv- ing trade conditions, Business failures are decreasing throughout the countr R. G. Dun & Co. reporting a total of 167 failures in the United States and Canada last wcek, as against 176 the weck before and 192 the previous week.- Wool is weaker and the business is re ported irregular and unsatisfactory : to manufacturers. The distribution of dry goods has been a little more active, owing to an improved demand for re-u sortment from jobbers. Interior mer- chants have been placing a few orders for fali goods, and the situation as a whole 15 reported as a little more encour- aging than last week. Export demand for staple cotton goods1s more active. Orders for 50,000 tons of rails were re. ported last week, and there has been a good business in plate, skelp and pipe- iron, but the general iron trade has con- tinued quiet. Pig-iron mukers are not accumulating stocks, as contracts in hand and a moderate new business keep supplies under good control, The produce markets still show a declining tendency. Wheat prices at the closc of the week were 13 to 2 cents per bushel lower on the seaboard and tto §of a cont lower in Chicago. The greater de- cline in the winter wheat markets is due selling on the prospeets of an nd satisfactory harvest. Spring wheat values have been relatively well supported because of the comparative remotencss of the new crop and because exporters have been buying freely for through shipment to Europe. There has been very little export demand for win- ter wheat, but the total sales and clear- ances of all varieties have been larger than for some weeks past. There was an increase ot 1,440,000 bushels of wheat on passage to Kurope, but the domestic visible supply decreased 2,856, 000 bushels, and expectation 18 set for a steady and large falling off in stocks be- tween this dateand July 1.

Corn prices are § of a cont Lywer for May delivery in New York and Chicago, owing to the weakness in wheat values and to u better g at New York, Export demand has 1 moderate, and there has been comp: tively little speculation —_— Stock Watering Again, When Mr. John I. Blair was in Omaha a few weeks ago, he made his boast that his Nebraska road, like the Baltimore & Ohio, had been capitalized only at its cost. When the annual meeting of the directors took place at Norfork last week, it was decided to bond the road for 20,000 per mile, and to increase the stock by $15,000,000. In other words it was de- cided to bond the road for ev, dollar that it would cost to build and equip it, and in addition to inject $15,000,000 of water into the stock. This means that the patrons of the road are to be perpetually taxed to pay dividends on a fictitious cavital of fifteen million dollars. This is the worst feature of the American system of railroading It is the source of the most glaring charges and the prime cause of our labor troubles. Here is one line of road out bf three or four systems that run west of the Missouri, issuing $15,000,000 of bogus stock upon which the holders expect six per cent in annual dividends. Nine hundred thousand dollars annually to be ground out of the patrons of the road chiefly in Nebraska, over and above the cost of operating and interest on the actual investment. And yet we are told by railroad men and their favorites that there is no cause for a revolt against the methods which they pursuing. It is a private enter- prite, you know, in which capitalists have put their millions, and it is nobody's business how they manage it or what tribute they levy upon their patron John L Blair and his associates are now doing what the Union Pacific, B. & M. and all other western roads have been doing for years. They build a railroad, vote themselves bonds for all they have laid out and then issue themselves mil- lions of stock as capital which represents merely the ability of the road to tax the producer for all that the traffic will bear. Nearly four thousand millions of fieti- tious capital is now carried on the books of American railroads. This is one thou- sand millions more than the national debt ever reached and fully three times more than the present interest bearing debt of the nation. The men who demand a radical change in this destructive method of railroad taxation are frequently elassed with com- munists. socialists and anarchists. And yet they are the element which proposes to prof the property of the farmer, and the product of the mechanic from virtual confiscation by railway barons who have grown to be billionaries in one generation by piling up mountains upon mountains of fraudulent mortgages and fictitious stocks. This sy: agant bonding and bogus stock must be rooted up or the country will soon pass entirely into the hunds of the Stanfords, the Huntingtons, the Goulds and the Vanderbilt: The Park Proposition. We second the motion that the county shall set apart a hundred acres of the poor farm for a park. In so doing the county need not necessarily part with their title to the property. They could pass it over to the city on a nincty-nne year lease if it scemed desirable, with stipulations that certain sums should be spent each year in improve- ments and maintenance of the pro- perty. Such a plan would be money in the pocket of the county outside of Omaha. The sixty acres re- served should surround the park and be at once laid out into generous lots and sold to the highest bidder over the ap- prafsed value. There would be no trouble at all under such ecircumstances in securing at least $125,000 from the sale of the lots thus eligibly located. The best class of residences would promptly seek such a location and the money from the sale would be suflicient to purchase land clsewhere and ercct a fine county alms- louse and hospital. A proposition to this eflect would carry by @ handsome majority at the next elee- tion. Both city and county would be benefitted and each would favor the plan. On the one hand Omaha would get a fine addition to the chain of parks with which it is proposed to lme the ecity. On the other hand the county would receive more money for the land than 1f the property had been sold as proposed last fall. TaEe sad aeath of Mrs. George H. Pen- dleton and the injuries received by her daughter, through a runaway accident in Central Park, is being used as a text for many sermons warning people to retain ther seats under such circumstances. The Cleveland Leader thinks that “had Mrs. and Miss Pendleton remained in their hey would have escaped practically uninjured, for their horse ran into a bush and stopped within 150 feet of the place where they jumped out, without damage to himselt or the carriage. To jump is certain to result, especially in the case of women, as disastrously as to be thrown out, while there are many chances of escape without serious injury by remuining seated. Even men, more stalwart of limb, better trained in jumping to and from vehicles, and unencumbered with skirts, are generally safer in following the advice given above, while in the case of women it should be considered imperative. Not one woman in a thousand can jump from a slow movy- ing street car without sustaining injury, To attempt it in the case of a flying runa- way is almost certain to result in being crippled for life or killed. It takes a great deal of firmness and presence of mind to remain seated undeg such circumstances, but ninety-nine times out of a hundred 1t is the safest thing to do.” THERE i8 a great deal of cry and very little wool the opposition to Senator Van Wyck which has developed in a ridiculous minority of the state press. he orguns of Laird and Weaver and the railroads, who are publishing and re pubhishing extracts from the kennel club of yelpers against the senior senator ure, of course, interested in convincing the people that there is a terribl tion of sentiment opposing the re-el of Van Wyck. Asa matter of faci republican papers which are ad against General Vun Wyck's return are than one-twenticth of the entire state Most of them fought his election the senate six years ago, and have made it their business to abuse him and his poli- cy ever since. There is not a single anti- monopoly paper in the state to day which is barking in the chorus of mongrel eurs against Senator Van Wyck’s candidacy. Of the so-called republican papers who ure opening their usual fire in the rear the old time residents of the state only need to be informed of their names in order to account for their bushwhacking tactics, When the time comes for devel- oping sgntiment on the senatorial cam- n, some unpleasant surprises will be in store for the gang.
