S — THERE is an Am&rican monopoly reap- ing u golden harvest during the present fisheries disputes,and that is the Alaska Seal company. of California. It has the whole of the Behring sea to itself, ow- ing to the fact thut the Dominion go: ernment has given orders to Canadian owners of sealing vessels not to attempt to hunt seals in that quarter until the vexed questions of Russian and Ameri- can jurisdiction are settled. —————— KANSAS C17Y has just opened a new railroad to the southwest. It was built by a local syndicate and runs one hun- dred and ten.miles south into a rich coal and agricultural district. Being a local road, everything that it hauls will be laid down in that city or dis tributed from it, und, therofore, the lit- tle railroad is bound to be of great bene- fit to that metropolis, It is well to call t mind that not a thousand miles from Kansas City another city is building a local road, but the latter, unfortunatel exists only of paper tracings. Mg. CLEVELAND'S position on the fisheries question, in the light of his r cent retaliation message, puts Mr. Ba; ard in a delicate position. Mr. Ba 18 directly responsible for the obuoxious treaty rejected by the senate. Mr. Cleveland emphatically repudiates it in his recent message. Consequently the policy of the president is in divect opposition to the policy of the secretary of state, and as the weaker must go to the wall Mr. Bayard, according to -@iplomatic etiquette, ought to resign. At least such would be the consequence if Mr. Cleveland was in earnest and was not playing ashrewd political game. AUGUST has been a peculiar month in a meteorological sense. The tempera- ture has been below the avernge and the closing days brought with them frosts more or less severe in the extreme northwest. The weather has been at loast four wecks ahead of its time and has been characterized by that bracing satmosphere enjoyed during the fall months. The freaks of the weather have turned all signal service calcula- tions topsy-turvey. Genepal Greely would consider himself fortunate if he could predict the expectation of an early winter, or the chances of a long open fall due to the low average temperature during July and August. Emms———— THE bank clearings for Omaha for the past week ending September 1 surpassed those of Minneapolis and St. Paul, al- though both of those cities are consid- erably larger than our city. This is no sudden spurt. Week after week the finuncial balance shect of the banks shows Omaha to be in the lead, The natural inference must be that in spite of the immonse milling, wheat, lumber and railroad interests of Minneapolis, and in spite of the largd® jobbing trade of St. Pagl, Omaha with her pucking houses, cattle and hog market, rail- roads, manufacturing establishment: and jobbing trade, does a larger bus ness than either of the twin cities of the northwest.

M Ottenderfer appr hat the local quarrel in New York over the govern- ship “may tend to dampen enthusiasm among the democratic voters,” but he endeavors to show that he is not altogether hopeless in the follo ing spivitless way: “I hardly believe that the disaffoction to which 1 have alluded will result in the loss of New York state to the demoerats, T imagine that the voters will be able to discriminate positive pre- diction of defeat be less reassuring to a party than such half-hearted oxpr from a man of long political expericnee and conceded ability, who most earn- estly desires the suceess of his part Aud this discouraging view of the out- look is rather emphasized by the advice of Mr. Ottenderfer to the democrats to “bear in mind that if they expeet to win in this election they must exert themselves to diffuse the proper kind of information among the people,” and the further suggestion t New York state is the great battle ground, “*and to win the vie- tory here will require hard worl.” There isno real confidence behind these expressions, and they are signifi- ntand important as coming from the editor of the lending German organ of demoe in the United States, who is doubtless as familiar any othe man with the democratie situation in New York, if not in the couatry at large. Such opinions contrast strongly with the sentiment that prevailed among leading democrats recently as wmonth ago, and they indicato how strongly the current has been setting in fuvor of the republicans. Ts ther any good reason to suppose that the po- litical tide will not coutinue to auspic- iously flow in the same direction during the remaining two months of the cam- ssions as £0 do not need immigration is confuted by the fact that a number of states are eall- ing for immigrants and doing ail they can to encourage their coming. Of course the countr not over-crowded, nor will it be a century henco, though the population should go on increas- ing in the ratio of the last quarter of a century, which it is not likely to do. The country does need immigration of the right sort. There is room in the south for millions of industrious immi- grants, and all such would be welcomed there. The great west can still give homes to other millions who have the ability and the will to work. Why should a country capable of supporting five hundred millions of people shut its doors with a population of sixty mil- lions? Noone will suggest such a pol- icy who has a rational idea of the possi- bilitios of this country and can under- stand thatitisas yet but in the first stage of development. There is a great deal being said on this subject of immigra- tion that is absurdly irrational, and the views of the Zimes are not the least notable utterances of this character. The policy that paper would have the country pursue would be most prop- characterized as a policy to re- strict national progres: constant irritation in railroad circles and the demoralization of freight and passenger rates both cust and wi point to an early dissolution of the gr Trunk Line Association. nation followed the various ‘*‘pools” which the inter-state law made illegal. But it has proven itself incapable of se- curing anything like co-operation among the various roads. The great problem before railrond managers 1s to devise some way by which uniform rates may be maintained. Looking at the situation from a railroad point of view, the roads are menaced from without and from within. From without pres sure is brought to bear to provent di imination and unjust charges; while from within the competition of the lines themselves makes it impossible to main- tain anything like stable and uniform Tie at This comhb paign? The Delayed Taviff Bill, The delay of the tariff bill promised by the republicans of the senate is not doing the party any good. Whatever may be the real reasons for it, and wo do not question that they are sufticient, it is a fact that they will not be gener- ally understood, while the delay affords the democrats an ophorlumtv which they are improving to cast &oubt upon the sincerity of the promise of a senate tariff bill, and to impress the idea that there is such a diversity of viewsamong republican senators as to pr sent an insurmountable difficulty. On the one hand the correspondents of republican newspapers at Washing- ton have stated almost daily for a month past, on the authority of prominent sen- ators, that the proposed bill was to be at once forthcoming, while on the other hand the correspondents of democratic paners have just as regularly reported that the disagreements among senators could not be adjusted and that there was no probability of any bill being re- ported. Thus far the latter have scemed to be the best advised, and it cannot be doubted that their representations have hud some effect upon the public mind. Last week Senator Sherman, speaking for the finance com- mittee, said the republican bill was almost perfected and would be veported in a very short time. He stated that it would receive the support of every republicun senator, and he thought also the approval of the party und of the count Since that time there has been held a caucus of the re- publican senators, from which word was sent out that the bill was practically ready and might be expected to be given publicivy within ten days. If thisas- surance is kept the bill will be reported about the middle of next wel It is quite possible there is something in the statement that it has beeu deemed ex- pedient to withhold it until after the Maine election. But ivought to be obvious to republi- cnn senators that in this matter a much further delay will be dangerous, even if there has mot already been harm done. Having prowmised the country a taritf bill no excuse can be invented that would sutisfactorily explain to thousan ds of votersthe failure to report one. If difierences still exist the inter- ests of the party demand that they shall be promptly adjusted. It is of the hl;hmt importance that republican senators shall show the country that they are able to harmonize on this question and to unite upon a revenue policy which shall clearly dofine the attitude ef the party. The country has been led to expect this, awud while disappointment would be perilous to the party, it will be unwise to delay mueh longer the fulfillment of the promise. It is to be hoped the last assurance given, thut a bill will be re- ported within the next ten days, will not fail. Nobody expects there will be schedules. The disruption of the Trunk Line agreements, if no other combinations were entered into, would leave each road free to act. This might prove to be the great panacea after all. For in that event competing lines would finally be forced to make rates as low as is consistent with legitimate business and so do away with the evils of discrimination PRrINTING a directory of disorderly houses under the cloak of social reform is decidedly suggestive. Why don’t the champion of the social crusade print the namesof the property owners who rent premises to dive-keepers. There is where the reform should begin if it ever will amount to any- thing. Dispersing the bad and vicous from one end of town to the other will not do away with the social evil, When men who rent houses for criminal pur- poses are held up and punished as the law provides, there may be some slight decrease in the number of persons who earn their livlihood by vice. It MAY be conductive to public mor- als to uncover the nastiness and vile- ness of inmates of dives and dens in the Third ward, but it seems to us the en- terprise of our Douglas’ street cotem- porary has reached a climax when it prints o business directory of the houses of ill-fame, with street numb, and numes of the keepers at a time when thousands of people are in the city from abroad. Toa man upa tree it looks very much as if the intended expose of decency is after all only a scheme to help those bad people to pat- ronage. THE broom of the street-sweeper needs a new handle. Omaha is paying an enormous sum for sweeping her streets, and it is scandalous that the contractors are allowed to do such wretched street-cleaning.

They will be kept justas steadily in view hereafter. -~ Dumont's Inspecting Toar.
