P. FEIL, Notary Public. DISCUSSION of the fisheries treaty dur- ing Lent is at least seasonable. WE have heard nothing for some months about that natural gas find. IF the high school cooking class con- tinues to feed the board of education on ple, will the real estate market be affected with indigestion? THE democratic county commission- - ers will doubtless arrunge their jail-in- specting junket so as to take in the city holding the national democratic conven- tion. e—— THE council has appointed a commit- tee to hunt up a site fora city jail. Here is a chance for Joe Redman. Joe is al- ways trying to locate public buildings on and around Jefferson square. E———— ‘THE noes have it. Every probable and possible presidential candidate is now busy declaring that he does not want a nomination. There seem to be fashions in campaign lies as in most other things. Em——— HASCALL is throwing heaps of dirt in trying to explain and justify the allow- ance of 845,000 to the gas company. But he is very gingerly with regard to the boodlers who made a demand cn the gas compn:ww per cent of its claim. — RIGHT in the teeth of the New York investigation of trusts comes the news that the nail trust, composed of manu- facturers of New England and New York, is about to be formed to regulate the out-put and to keep up the price of nails, ee—— CANADA is angry over the fishery treaty. ‘‘Canada lies a bleeding,” says the Montrcal Iferald. What a tragic situation to be sure. Our neighbor will sadly miss the industry of arresting Anmerican fishing vessels, of course, but our advice is, get up from your prostrate position, wipe your nose and go to work at something else. THE Omaha jpostoffice bill, which was to have been discussed in the house on the 21st, has been laid over until the 1st of March. Thero is no doubt but that the committee’s report for 500,000 to purchase the site will pass, but it would have been more business like to have passed the Manderson bill, which ap- ‘propriates enough to purchase the site and to erect a first class building. e —— SENATOR GORMAN says: ‘‘Chicagois 8 ropublican city, in & republican state, where republican merchants and repub- lican hotelkeepers take money brought there by the democratic national con- vention and spend it to help elcct a re- , publican president. I am in favor of San Francisco.” What bosh a Mary- land statesman can utter. The Chicago * hotelkeepers and saloonkecpers aro nearly all democrats. —— THE western railroads engaged in the rate war are said to be losing about two hundred thousand dollars por day. But this loss is, however, not an actual de- struction of so much value. If the water oould only be squeezed out of railroad stocks and securities the companics could stand tolose two hundred thousand dollars & day. There would still be earnings enough to pay a very good in- terest on the actual investments. Cs———— THE decision rendered by the inter- state commerce commission, in the ease of Hgard, a colored man, against tho Georgia railroad company, will be uni- wversally approved by unprojudiced peo- ple. Tho complaint wasthat Heard was notallowed the same accommodations on a train that were accorded to white passengers, although he had paid first olass fave. The commission held this to boan unjust diserimination, which it obviously was. It was further held that where it is expediont for adequate rea- sons to separate white and colored passengers such separation is not unlawinl if the accommodations and comforts provided by the company are the same to both, As to the question of expediency and the adequacy of the reason it is for the railroad manage- ment to determine, but there must bo no inequality in the matter of accom- modations. Very likely there .are not & great raany colored people in the south who would cave anything about the discrimination on account of color if they received just trentwent in all “ather respects. . The Trust Problem. Two committees, one of congress ahd the other of the New York legislature, are now prosecuting an investigation of the characters, methods and effects of trusts, The friends of the monopolies inthe Ndw York legislature made a vigorous resistance to the proposition to have them investigated, put their argu- ments were unavailing, and the com- mittee appointed is expected to very thoroughly perform the duty devolved on it. As we have before said, investi- gation is necessary in order to deter- mine the course to be pursued in ‘deal- ing with these combinations. It is de- sirable to know whether they are oper- ating outside of the law, or independent of all law, and if so to bring them within the purview and regulation of law. The common understanding is that they arve absolutely without re- sponsibility, and if such is the fact the danger from their existence is greatly increased. If the trust as now organized and managed is a law unto itself its capacity for mischief is unlimited. and 80 far s appears this is really the nature of this form of monopoly. Obvi- ously there could be no more important work for congress and the legislatures than to ascertain every detail of the organization of these combinations, togother with their plans, policies and consequences. In a general way these are pretty well understood. The history of the older trusts in crushing out competition and manipulat- ing the markets in utter disregard of all interests but their own, has very clearly indicated the policy of these combinations, and the consequences naturally proceeding from such a policy must be inimical to enterprise and hos- tile to the public welfare. The colossal fortunes that have.been made by the men who organized the original oil trust are conclusive evidence against the system from the point of view of the public interest, for nothing is more cer- tain than that such fortunes could not have been huilt up in the time they have had there been free and active competition in this business. To make these great fortunes the people have necessarily been plundered wherever the monopoly has enjoyed undisputed sway, and this has been nearly every- where. It is said that the sugar trust of comparatively recent organ- ization, has already made a profit of twelve per cent on its inflated certificate capital of sixty million dollars. Three times since the trust was organized sugar has been advanced, and when it is remembered that the annual con- sumption of sugar in the United States exceeds three thousand million pounds a very slight advance per pound means a very large aggregate gain to the trust. There was no good reason for the advance in sugar, and that com- modity would probably be lower now than six months ago, instead of higher, but for the existence of the combination to regulate the manufacture and arbi- trarily fix the price. The same policy characterizes all trusts, and simi- lar effects must result from the successful operation of all of them. Manifestly such combmations must stand condemned as dangerous enemies of the general welfare. It is a curious and interesting fact that the strongest supporters of the high tariff are now arraying themselves in opposition to the trust as endanger- ing the continuance of a protective tariff. One pronounced protectionist paper 1n Philadelphia says: “If the sincere friends of American industry would protect protection, they must promptly separate it from the extortion of trusts and monopolists.” And another journal of that city says: ‘“From the time of Algxander Hamilton to our own day the protective policy has been de- fended on the ground that it created a home competition sufficient to secure reasonable prices to the con- sumer. Until recently trusts were confined to the unpro- tected industries. This is no longer true.” It adds that if these monopolies are allowed to continue, preventing competition, restricting production and arbitrarily regulating prices, ‘‘the most solid support of the protective policy will have been knocked from under it by the very people for whose benefit it was established.” Such expressions from such a sourco are certainly reas- suring and encourage the hope that the pursuit of the pernicious combinations will be vigorously maintained and that their overthrow is only a question of time. —— The Proposed Treaty. Agreeably to the recommendation of the president and the wish of the peo- ple the senate departed from its prac- tice of secrecy and allowed to be made public the text of the treaty for settling the fishery controversy between the United States and Canada. The senate is to be commended for this concession to a popular demand, and perhaps it may fairly beaccepted as foreshadowing a change of senatorial policy respecting all matters now secretly considered which the country would heartily ap- prove. At all ovents it ig a precedent that can hardly fail of good results, The full text of the treaty shows that the statements regarding its character which preceded its publication were in the main correct, and that the fairness of the agreement reached by the commission- ers had not become exaggerated. The treaty bears evidence to an enti friendly spirit on the part ot the Englis and Canadian representatives and, a cor- dial disposition to effect a just arranges ment that would be mutually advan- tageous. The bost proof of this isin the voluntary proposal by the British pleni- potertiaries of an arrangement, pending the ratification of the treaty if that shall be accomplished within two years, by which American fishing vesscls will be allowed many of the privileges in Cana- dian waters and ports to be conferred by the treaty, and it is declared that this proposal is made “with an anxious de- sire to promote good feeling and remove all subjects of controversy.” The American people will unquestiona- bly be disposed to meet this friendly spirit half way and attest their appreci- ation of it by at least giving the pro- posed treaty careful and candid consid- evation. It is not to be supposed that thisagree- AT R S o R H AR ment of the commission -will escape criticism. A good deal of opposition to it has already been manifested 1n Canada, on the ground that the advant- ages are most largely with the United States. On the other hand the fishing interest of this country will wery likely not regard with favor the proposal to admit free of duty fish oil, whale oil, seal oil and fish that are’the produce of fisheries carried on by the fishermen of Canada and New Foundland, including Labrador. This is a matter, how- ever, for congress to deter- mine, with the alternative that if the articles enumerated are not allowed to come in free of duty Amevican fishermen may be denied or cted in certain privileges other- wise to be. freely accorded them. Whether or not these are of sufficient value to balance the advantage which Canadian fishermen would acquire from having their fish and oils admitted free to the American market is a question that will undoubtedly be seriously dis- cussed. . As a whole the treaty merits the un- reserved commendation given it by the president. As he says, it mani- festly was “‘framed in a spirit of liberal equity and reciprocal benofits, in the conviction that mutual advantages are the only permanent foundation of peace and friendship between states, and that with the adoption of the agreement beneficial and satisfactory inter- course between the two countries will be established so as to secure per- petual peace and harmony.” Such a consummation we have no doubt is heartily desired by the great majority of the people of both countries. Tr is hardly possible that the explicit charge made by the New York Sun, that the committee investigating the Read- ing strike was disnonest and corrupt, will be permitted to pass unchallenged. The allegation of the Sun is that the committee used its opportunity for the purpose of stock speculation, and that it was defeated in its plans by the cessa- tion of the strike. Judge Tillman, the echairman of the committee, enjoys a reputation for integrity that he must defend against this charge, and Mr. Anderson,of Kansas, a member of the committee, cannot afford to allow this stigma to rest upon him if the charge can be disproved. The Sun must be called upon to establish its assertions or recant. We have very little doubt it can be compelled to do the latter. Its article reads as if inspired by Corbin or some one acting in his behalf. The president of the Reading was deeply incensed at the course of the committee in his examination, and it is by no means improbable that he would seek some form of retaliation. What more natural than to invent the charge that the committee used its opportunity- for stock-jobbing purposes and to attempt to discredit it as corrupt and dishonest. It is not likely that the Sun’s alleggtion will receive any general credence, or perbaps not anywhere outside of Read- ing interests, but none the !ess the com- mittee must not permit it to go unchal- lenged, or if the members should be dis- posed to do so the house should order an investigation. It is a matter of some regret on the part of all concerned in Omaha's growth that no agreement has been reached yet between the building contractors and the mechanics concerning this season’s operations. All the indications point towards an early opening of spring weather, and as a consequence an early beginning of building operations for 1888. Experience has demonstrated that both contractorsand mechanics are more largely benefitted when a definite understanding is had at the beginning of the season concerning the hours of labor and the pay therefor. It gives the contractor an unalterable basis for his estimate and it gives the mechanic a surety that his daily wages will not be shaved to help out the contractor on a low bid. The BEE veuntures to suggest to both parties in controversy that this year there should be'even more than an under- standing; there should be a formal agreement or contract. The suggestion is made in view of the fact that the ‘‘un- derstanding” last year proved to be a misunderstanding, and labor troubles resulted. 0 Any clash that brings build- ing operations to astandstill necessarily retards the city’s growth, and it there- fore seems to be the common interest that a satisfactory agreement between contractors and mechanics be reached as speedily as possible. e—— THE minority report of the house committee on territories, adverse to the creation of the territory of Oklahoma, recites the familiar argu ment that such action would be in violation of the treaty vights of the Indians, and insists that the assent of the parties to the change should be secured in advance of, and not subsequent to, the establish- ment of a territorial government. It is vory probable that if this policy were pursued, a territorial government would be indefinitely postponed, or at alleventsdelayed until the men who are now influencing the Indians should no longer have a selfish reason for wishing them to remain as they are. There is in the minority report really nothing that can be regarded as answering the sound practical reasons which support the proposal to create this new territory, and we do mnot apprehend that it is likely to have any considerable in- fluence on the question. The proposed new territory is advocated in the inter- est of the general welfare, in which the Indians will share the benefits with the whites, and unipss it can be shown that it is not necessary for the common good, all other arguments hostile to it will and should be unavailing. — NEW YORK has taken the first step in throttling the trust monopolies. The upper house of the New York legisla- ture has already begun the investiga- tion despite the great opposition of pow- erful combinations. Bills designed to make trusts unlawful are being consid- ered by the senate trust investigating comnmittee, which began its labors a few days ago. Senator Frank B. Ar- nold is chairman, and preliminary meet- ings are held in New York City, where a careful investigation is to be made with the view of supplying the comuit-. tee with the negessary information. That New York {s thoroughly in earn- est about the matter is shown by the businesslike way in which the investi- gation is to be cohducted. There is to be no shilly-shally in probing the ques- tion. The investigation is to be com- pleted this month, and the evidence is 10 be pushed through all the ramifica- tions of trust combinations. Tie democratic programme regard- ing the admission of new states has been definitely arranged, and matters will not undergo any change. There will be an omnibus bill for the admission of Da- kota undivided, Washington, Montana and New Mexico, but none of them will get in 80 as to vote in the next presiden- tial election. The most trustworthy ad- vises say that this is the arrangement that will be offered to the republicans in congress, and if it is not accepted no other proposition will be allowed to pre- vail. There is nothing unexpected in this, the purpose of the democrats hav- ing been disclosed before congress con- vened. It is purely an affair of party interest with them, in which considera- tions of what is just and for the gencral welfare cut no figure. e— THERE {8 just a bare possibility that the United States may burn a little powder and batter down the walls of Tangiers.

They asserted that Mrs. Grant called on Mrs. Cleveland and that the latter did not return the visit nor even send a card to the former mistress of the white house. There is not the slightest foundation for these ailega- tions. ——— A Dauger To Be Avoided. 8t. Louis Post-Dispatch. In dealing with Messrs.
