ComyissioNkr COLEMAN values the cattle of this country at $1,500,000,000. This shows an enormous increase in the business during the last ten or fifteen years; The railroads ot the country, however, have made more money out of cattle raising than the farmers and ranch men. Tne real estate booms throughout the country are having their effect uvon Wall street gambling and speculation in the necessitios of life by the withdrawal of money from them.

Prore: GOODE, assistant seoretary of the Smithsonian institution, has been appointed to succeed the late Professor Baird, as commissioner of fish and fisheries. Solicitor McCue has re- signed the position, for which he was eminently unfitted. The new appointee is thoroughly qualified for the duties of the position and familiar with the meth- ods of his eminent predecessor. Tuk examining committee of the Chi- cago board of trade reports the discovery of ncarly 400,000 bushels of inferior wheat in the elevators of that city. It bad been stored away as No. 2, but had deteriorated below the required standard by being kept in the bins too long. This stuff has been an incubuson the market for some time, but has now been taken off and an upward tendency in prices 1s looked for in the wheat market, CANADA b urnished an example which the United States might well imi- tate. Joseph Hickson, general manager of the Grand Trunk road, has been in- dicted by a grand jury at Montreal for manslaughter, the result of the railroad wreck of July 12. If the courts do their duty and the people have assurancs that railroad ofticials will be held responsible for disasters caused by reckless negli- gence, there will be greater safety in railway travel. ANOTHER aitempt is to be made by oil producers to come out from under the oppression of the giant monopoly, the Standard Oil company. A stock company has been formed at Lima, 0., known as the Ohio Oil company, with a capital of $500,000. If this concern 1s no more suc- cessful than its predecessors 1t will be a dismal failure. For years the small pro- ducers have been held in abject subjec- tion by the Standard, and although they bave combined time and again to escape from the clutches of the millionaire mag- nates, their cfforts have always proven abortive, Ti1s is labor day m the leading Amer- ican cities. New York City will have its usual monster parade. In some way the movement has become peculiarly infec- tious, and even the grain gamblers passed a resolution that they would adjourn the eoxchange and enjoy the holiday. Perhaps they think that by this ‘‘mark ot respect’’ to the toilers they will be able to pacify m a degree the feeling which bas been raised against them by Powderly's masterly arraignment of the transactions in which they are engaged. Organized Jabor, however, judges its professed friends by their daily deeds, not by holi- day demonstrations. —— Tre steel rail ring of Pennsylvania has made its first alistment for the next year of 800,000 tons, This amount will be divided up among the mulls in ratio to the capacity of each, The design of this attempt to limit the out-put is simply that the price of home product may be kept up to nearly 100 per cent above a xeasounble figure, ‘That this 18 true is proved by the fact that foreign rails con- tinue to be imported at & tariff of 100 per cent. Still, in the face of this palpable extortion an increase 1 the dutles on iron and steel is demanded. 1s there no himit to the groed of our gigantic monop- lies? The plea that a higher tariff will in- crease the earnings of the laborers and mechanics in the rail mills, is disproved . by the fact that no material increase bas been made by the steel rail syndicate during the past two years, although rails have gone up from $3 to $42 per ton since 1885, They have pro- claimed their hostility to the manufac- turers who use large guantities of for- eign wool as enemies to the producers of the country, alleging that it was their in- fluence that brought about the tariff leg- islation of 1883, the domestic product are to be invited to unite with the producers i the effort to procure a restoration of the tariff. indications are that the pressure upon congress is to be renewed with increased vigor, but in the present temper of the country the effort must be a hopeless onc. The manufacturers of The The Ohio wool growers claim that under the reduced tariff the sheep husbandry in the United States has ceased to be remunerative. ‘Ihis staple argument of all interests secking protection may have force as to the Ohio producers, but it is extremely questionable whether it will hold good as to the producers of the whole country, The fact that the pro- duction of wool has rapidly increased in California, Colorado and New Mexico must be accepted as pretty good evidence that it is not an unremunerative industry in those sections. 1t1s true that the con- dittons there are much more favorable than in Ohio, but if the producers of that state must contend against odds which the sheep husbandry of the mountain ranges of the far west escape, the consumers of the country will not see the justice of oft- setting this disadvantage by increas- ing tariff duties which ther must pay. At every session of congress for the past four years the wool growers of Ohio have come for- ward with this same appeal to have the tariff restored, that they have been un- able to make a case that commended itself to serious consideration. Sen- ator Sherman, who voted for the reduc- tion in 1883, has not seen his way clear to the support of the demand for the res- toration of the duty, and certainly he would be as likely to look with favor upon the claims of the Ohio wool pro- ducers as any man, if he could find any sound and sufiicient reason for doing so. The Ohio wool growers will discover that the time is less propitious than ever be- fore for the success of their efforts, The country demands a policy the opposite of that they desire, and it is at least cer- tain that there will be no increase of tar- iff’ duties. Some Plain k. The *‘few plain words'’ which John A. McShane’s editor takes upon himself to address to the president of the board of trade, in connection with the call for the meeting Saturday night, reminds us of the fable of the inflated bullfrog. Who 15 this person who assumes to instruct the board of trade of Omaha as to what they should and should not do.at the forthcoming meeting? Is this person a taxpayer or in any way responsible? Why should the board of trade take its instructions from a hired man who can pack all his valuables in fifteen minutes by the watch, pick up his grip-sack and bid good bye to Omaha any day in the year? But even if this person voices the sentiment of the proprietor of the Heral his impudent and dictatorial talk is sim- ply unbearable. ‘“You are probably aware, sir,” says this adventurer, ad- dressing himself to Max Meyer, the president of the board— “That Mr. Edward Rosewater yesterday circulated a petition among certain selected business men, the purport of which was a re- quest by the signers that you, as president of the Omaha board ot trade, call a meeting of business men,taxpayers and leading citizens, at which meeting the differences between tho city council and the police commissiousers, (both bodies belng present by invitation), with a view of harmonizing existing differ- ences. ‘‘You are also doubtless aware that it is Mr. Ltosewater’s plan to exclude from that meet- ing any citizen whom you fail to invite. **You are furtheraware that Mr. Rosewater, the projector of this meeting, In his paper announced that the purpose of the meeting was a partisan one—to make the council re- trace from ita position. * * * » * » “Now, the Herald makes bold to say that if that meeting resolves upon a partisan and uncompromising stand, it will not help mat- ters one bit. It is within the knowledge of the writer that the city council cannotbe bull- dozed out of its position. ‘*“There can be no comoromise of any kind whatever unless Webber S. Seavey is de- posed from the position of chief of police.” Now let us say a few plain words. The object and purpose of the meeting is plainly set forth in the call. ‘The board of trade is composed of more than two hundred bankers, merchants, manufac- turers, real ostate dealers and profes- sional men. They are called together for the purpose of voicing their unbiased sentiment on the course of the council with regard to the police force. Other respectable taxpayers who are not mem- bers will be invited in numbers limited by the capacity of the chamber of com- merce. The mayor, council and police commission are alsoinvited to be present. They are, however, expected to listen and hear the views expressed, rather than monopolize the time by ventilating their grievances or explaining their conduct. The mecting i3 called with a view of impressing upon our public servants the fact that they are expected to represent the will of their constituents, and in order that they shall not be in the dark as to their sentiments on the matter of police management, The meecting is under the auspices of the board of trade. In view of last winter's experienca at the charter meeting which was dis turbed and nearly broken up by a gang of roughs and hoodlums, the board has very properly excluded all outsiders who are not invited by the secretary. The meet- ing will be a rapresentative gathering of business men and tax-payers. The notice served by Hascall’s mouth- picce that the dismissal of the present chief of police is the ultimatem of the coun- cil is in itself sedicions, It is proof posi- tive that the chief conspirator arrogates to himself powers which the law exoressly confers on the commission. If other councilmen who have been his dupes propose to defy public sentiment and 1g- nore the law as defined by the oity attor- ney they will prove themselves recreant to their trust. This 18 plain talk. E————— The eall for a special meeting of the board of trade, to which leading business men and taxpayers have been invited, will be the first opportunity for a public expression of popular sontiment on the eourse of the council in obstructing the police commission in its effort 1o give this city proper police protection, To the business men and prop- erty owners ot Omaha this THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY. is & question of vital concern. An efficient, well-disciplined police is cssential to the proteotion of lifo and property. The experience of other cities has demonstrated that the only way to in- sure efficiency in the police force is to divorce it from politics. To this end the framers of our charter have created a po- lice commission with full and exclusive power to appoint and remove policemen, and goyern the force. The desperate and lawless effort of the council to nullify the charter in this regard and its audaclous attempt to in- timidate and stampede the regular po- lice, appointed by the commission, by publicly denouncing them as pretended policemen, and notifying them that no pay will be allowed for their services, incites resistance to authority, disorder and anarchy. At this stage it behooves our law-abid- ing and tax-paying citizens to putina protest. And that protest, whether heeded or spurned, should be emphatic. There can be no .compromise with an- archy, even when the conspirators and abettors are councilmen, It is to be hoped that every member of the board of trade will be present. The Case of Stanford. The country is watching with a good deal of interest the case of Leland Stan- ford, chiefly with reference to whether the administration will take any action in this matter or will permit this recusant witness go his conscious of having practically set the government at defi- ance. Although it has been decided that the investigating commission has not the power to compel Stanford to answer questions, the courts are open, and the country believes it to be the duty of the government to appeal to the courts, It does not seem probable, however, that this will be done. The assistant attorney general is quoted as saying that it would be bardly proper to proceed in the courts until the investigation is completed. Why such a proceeding would not be proper 18 not apparent. There is no room for a doubt respecting the ability of the gov- ernment to make a case against the cor- ruptionists. The evidence already se- cured and the still more important evi- dence to which it points, is believed to be ample to wartant proceedings. It is not pretended at the department of justice that this 18 not so, but there appears to be a disposition to evade responsibility and leave Mr. Stanford to be cared for by some other power. The effect will be that he and his colleagues will gain more time in which o prepare for defensive operations, and undoubtedly they will mmprove it. ‘The admimstration seems to be blind to its opportunity in this matter. There 15 a chance to strike a most effective blow for popularity, but the admimstra- tion evidently lacks the courage to do it. Boss Hascall has ccmpletely lost his head, as he always does when he 1s given a little brief authority, Because he ran ahead of his ticket last spring for the first time in his career he imagines he has the whole city by the horns, and ean do just as he pleases, law or no law. He will probably find out that he caunot defy public sentiment with impunity just as he could six years ago when he stood out as the leader of the Holly boodle gangin the council, and forced leading taxpay- ers to appeal to the courts for protec- tion. Hascallity was given a very black eye by the courts and Hascall himself was consigned to private life on Thir- teenth street for a few years. ‘WE are not finding fault with Pat Ford i doing everything in his power to cre- ate disturbance and give countenance to thugs and habitual law-breakers. He is notably the special representative in the council of the Third ward roughs and bums. But such men as Bailey and Counsman, who pretend to respectability and decency, ought to be ashamed of themselves in playing cat’s paw for Has- call and Ford WiLs, Boss Hascall or any of his dupes tell our citizens why they passed that se- ditious resolution, notifying regular policemen that they have no right to make arrests and will get no pay, just on the eve of the fair and grand army re- union? Is it not plain on its face that they mean mischief and want to precipi- tate disturbance’ OvLp Manville, who hus been living on the city ever since his election and has lived on the top shelf of the saloons on $50 a month, wants to be oune of the county commissioners. That would be nice, wouldn’t 1t? What a fine chance for bumming and boodling that would be. ANY concessions which the council may make on the appointment of special policemen during the fuir, cannot and will not justify its seditious course in re- fusing to vote vay or give oflicial recog- mition to the regular police THERE can be no talk about the ap- pointment of a new chief of police so long as the council bosses persist in in- terfering with and dictating to the com- mission. The couneil must learn to re- speet and obey the law. Pat Fonrp says that the Bek calls every member of the council a boodler who re fuses to vote it the city advertising, This is not true, but we do say that every boodler in the council 15 down on the Bk, Other Lands Than Ours. The war of the British government on the land league continues the chief topic of discussion in Great Britain. It wus in- timated a few days ago that the cabinet was considering the expediency of modi- fying the proclamation, but their has beeu no evidence thus far that it had any such purpose. On the contrary all the indications appear to be that the govern- ment will adhere to the policy it has so far parsued, and may even increase the harshness of its measures. Meanwhile the league is active and aggressive, hold- ing meetings with regularity which are largely attended and characterized by great enthusiasm. The ocourse of the government has really given the league a prestige, and it has within & few days admitted to 1ts ranks several promi- nent Englishmen. The trial of Mr. O'Brien opens on the 8th of this month, Any attempt by the prosecution to strain the meaning of the crimes act as affect- ing Mr. O'Brien’s case will be tha oocca- sion of a fierce protest by his colleagues in parliament. The conservative whips will be obliged to keep 200 members appointment of Mr, Chamberlain as the chief of the British. fisheries commiss! appears to be regarded with entire satis- fadtion by the Buglish pross. His euper- for qualifications for the work are ad- mitted, and thers is a feeling of confi- dence that this controversy is now mak- ing satisfactory progress toward settle ment. Q'Q In the face of all the difficulties which have been raised 1n the last six months to check the preparations of the French Universal exhibition of 1889, the authori- ties still push on their project, and are now beginning daily to announce some new success. Thus, it is no longer quite clear that Germany, Russia, and Austria will definitely decline to perticipate even officially. The campaign waged against the Germans and their commercial role may possibly prevent Germany from sending any but artistic contributions; but many moditications of opinion may occur within the next fifteen or eighteen months, South America, naturally North America, and most of the smaller Euro- pean countries, which are rot directly within the influence of the Triple Alli- ance, have sent in their com- plete adhesions, and the French government is using every effort to make it clearly understood that the cele- bration of the centennary of the French revolution and the industrial and artistic universal exhibition will be entirely sep- arate and distinet. This separation is wise as well as necessary, and so great is still the prestige of Paris in Europe that when the time comes we may expect to see upon the Champ de Mars a much larger grouping of industries and arts than in 1867 or in 187, Certainly the preparations are grandiose enough. Many thousands of workmen have been toiling on the Champ de Mars for more than six months, Most of the founda- tions of the vast buildings have already been laid; the great by in which the Eiffel tower 18 to stand is partly built, and the French jurors on the different groups number some 1,800 of the leading industrial, commercial and artistic digni- taries of the land. * «*x A temperance movement is making extraordinary progress in Norway. It has especially taken hold of the peasan- and the laboring population in the cities, and is working a& great change in entiments of the Norsemen on this and their habits are showing a corresponding change. The consump- tion of alcoholic liquors averaged, years ago, six litres annually for ea di in 1834 the official statistics showed a reduction to three; and if sta- tistics were obtainable for the last two vears, a very large reduction even from this fizure would probably be observed. Within a few years 650 total-abstinence socicties, with a membership of 73,000, have been formed, besides a number of Good Templar lodges and blue rib- bon sooieties, which will unite in fight- ing the drink evil. Prohibition is, for the first time in the history of Scandinavia, beginning to attract attention as a possi- ble political factor, and an address to the Starthing demanding a law prohibiting the manufacture and importation of al- coholie liquors obtained in a short time the signatures of 63,000 men and women over twenty-one yearsof age, although it was not by any means generally circu- lated. In the province of Christiansand a similar address obtained 35,000 signa- tures. Twenty or thirty members of the Storthing are also members of total absti- nence societies; but they were not elected as representetives of this idea. In short, we may look with confidence for a pro- hibitionist party in Norwegian politics in the near future; and in Sweden and Den - mark there are indications that similav forces are at work. e Cuba has always been a hotbed of rev- clution, and the atrocities which have from time to time been committed there have searcely been paralleled in modern history. The island is again in a condi- tion of revolt; and, contrary to all prece- dent, the volunteers, between whom and the native Cubans there have always existed bitter jealousy and enmity, have joined the roters. Any progress which might have been made 1 the prosperity of Cuba has been obstructed by the oppressive character of its gov- ernment ‘and by the venality of the captains general, who have always been sustained by the authorities at Madrid. The present revolt, however, differs from previous uprisings. Captain General Marin is opposed by political bodies who have evidently been profiting by the ad- ministration of Salamanca, and who therefore resent nis removal, The fight is a struggle of corruption against purity, and 1illustrates anew the capacity of any branch of the Latinrace for appreciating the advantages of good and progressive government. If the uprising shall not be promptly quelled we shall doubtless soon hear of a revival of tilibustering by some of our soldiers of fortune. * e It seems to be certain that China has at last granted to American capitalists the railway and telephone concessions which English, French and German s dicates have been eagerly secking for some years. Thisis a most importhnt commercial event. It means not only the opening up of China by railways and the stimulus of trade all over that greut empire, but the ercation of a great market for American goods, particularly iron and steel for the construction of th roads. It means also the creation of a great market for American silver. ‘I'he development of railroading in China by American capital will work of course grent industrial results not only for this but for other couptries. Eugland will expect to furnish the steel and iron, She can undersell any other nation, but American steel and iron men are so highly protected at home that they ean well = afford to, and without doubt will, put their products upon the Chinese market at much lower figures than upon the home market. They will thus successfully compete with England or Germany in this respect, and will be favored by the Philadelphia syn- dicate. Silver is the standard of value in China, Herotofore Indin has been the chief market for silver for coipage pur- poses, but the stimulation of trade in Cluna by railroad building would of course greatly increase the monetary circulation and create a wide demand for American smlver., In short, the com- mercial supremacy of the United States in China will be effectually establishe d 1f Mr. Barker sucoeeds in ratifying the proposed agreement. * e > The riots at Ostend are said to have within hall to prevent a surprise. The | made a difference in the supply of the SEPTEMBER 3. 1887 London fish markets. The Belgian tollers of the sea urge that they are put to a dise advantage by the lack of a tariff against forelgn fish entering their home ports while thelr own must pay charges in British and French markets, Hence, when an English bark last week sought to enter at Ostend with a cargo of fish, the local population attacked the crew and destroyed their fish, Of course this was conduct for which the authorities, had they allowed it, would have been held anewerable to the British govern- ment, and hence the police and militia were called out with the serious results already recorded in loss of life and n wounds. The troubles may not yet be over, gince the fishermen will be rein. forced by their retuening comrades, and new attompts of English vessels to enter may create fresh trouble. What the Belgians want is either free trade in the ports of their daties or cfse duties at home on the imports of those who impose like restrictions on Belgian fish. » «* An evidence of the suspicion and un- rest which prevail i Earope is seen in the arrest of the two secretaries of the minister of war for disclosing to a news- paper a plan ior carrying the mobiliza- tion scheme, which the government wished to keep secret. Not only France but also Germany and Russia are using every effort to keep the results of their army mobihzation a profound secret from each otuer. These mancuvers have virtually the same relation to a real battle that a dress rchearsal has to the public production of a play. They test the efliciency of the various corps, and the result often brings about a change in diplomatic tacti That there is a strong war feeling 1n France cannot be doubted; and the prematare divulging of the government’'s plans, if it should lead to even a temporary abandonment of the scheme, might serve only to in- crease the spirit of defiance and cause manifestations which would widen still between further the breach countries. the two KINGS AND QUEENS, King Kalakaua used to peddle bananas in Honolulu when he was a boy.
