Scveral of these Ching men were landed on the plea that they were citizens of the United States. It appears a very simple matter for a Chinese petitioner to add the names of an alleged father and mother who will swear that they are his parentsand that he was born in this country. The “American citizen” loophole in the Scott bill soems u very convenientdodge for the influx of Coolies. WHAT a farce the national bureau of Milroads is anyway. In his annual re- Jort just handed in to the sceretary of the interior, General Joseph K. John- ston, the commissioner of railroads, states that he has inspected the Union and Central Pacific and all the roads in California and Oregon connected with the latter, and all th ‘Washington Territory. “These r says Mr. Johnston, **are all in very {sfactory condition. Steel rails been substituted for iron almost eve where.” For this pleasing infort the country pays handsome salaries and sends the commissioner on a junket tour in a special private cur supplied with wines and all the luxuries of the season by the railroads. And this is called railroad railroads in fon Mg. JouN B. FURAY has been ap- pointed and confirmed as member of the board of public works to fill the posi- tion made vacant by the expiration of the term of Louis Heimrod. Mr. Furay is well qualified for the position, and his large property interests in Omaha will be an incentive to his giving close at- tention to public works. Itis to be hoped that Mr. Furay will at once familiarize himself with the work now in hand contractors und place his veto upon every claim for work that is not executed in accordance with con- tracts and specifications. There is a wide field of usefulness before Mv. Furay, and if he can keep the contrac- tors’ ring that now dominates in Omaha from robbing and cheating the taxpay- ers by bad work and inflated claims he will receive the thanks and gratitude of the community. Towa Not Dpubtful. A roving correspondént of the New York Times, auxious, doubtless, to give what encouragement he may to demo- cratic hopeg, writes to that paper that “itis not at all unreasonable to re Towa as a doubtful state.” He dc consider it quite safe for the demo to rely upon the chance of cal Towa for Cloveland to give them a na- tional victory in November, but he re- marks that ““Towa is more doubtful than Illinois,” and cites in evidence changes to the democracy of former re- publicans, a few of whom enjoy a local prominence and a measure of influcuce with their neighbors. Three months ago an assertion Towa was doubtful might have received serious consideration, but nobody who is accurately informed regarding that state will give it any such attention now. Not only is Iowa as safcly repub lican as Illinois, but she will in all probability do what Illinois very likely will not, that is, very considerably in- © the republican plurality of four years ago, when it was nearly twenty thousand. There is unquestionably a very strong sentiment in Iowa in favor of ‘curtailing the revenucs of the government by reducing tax but the intelligent voters of that st the lurge majority of whom are farmers, do not » 1n the sectional Mills bill, which discriminates inst some of their most important products, the plan of reduction which they believe to be wise and just. They think with their distinguished senator that there isunoth- ing fair or equitable in proposing to deprive the agricultural products of the northern states of the small protection that is now given them, while the sugar and rice growers are well taken care of. However willing they may be to make some concession in order that national taxation shall be reduced, they do not appreciate the dis- crimination that demands of them to yield up everything ana still extend an ample protection over a few sugur par- ishes of Louisiuna and over the rice plantations of the Carolinas. The farmers of Towa know what is just to their interests, and they do not find that the Mills bill contains it. Many of them who have hitherto acted with the dem- ocratic party will not do so in Novem- ber. here is another fact to be con sidered, and that is that Jowa is one of the soldier states, and its thousand of veterans feel deeply the policy and course of the present administration regarding their welfare. The sons of these old soldicrs who will cast their first vote next No- vember will not deliver their ballots agamnst the party which has ever de- manded the generous treatment by the governwent of the men who pi served it. Obviously lowa offers no hope to the democracy this year, and it is as absurd to class her among doubtful states as it would be to put Ohio in that category. 1t is not to be expected that Towa will this year give the great republican plu- ality she gave eight years ago, but all indications are that there will be a large increase over the republican vote of four years ago. some thut Correcting a Serious Defect. Tt was only vecently discovered that there is a rather s s defect in the act passed in 1887 to regulate the count- ing of the electoral votes for president and vice president, and on Tuesda, senate passed a bill to remedy this de- feet. The act of 1887 was designed to remedy some doubtful questions and re- move certain occasions for dispute. It changes the date for the meeting of the electors in the several states from the first Wednesday in December to the second Monday in January, but it makes no provision for the transmis- sion to the president of the senate and to the judges of the district courts of the certificates showing the vote of the electors for president and viee pres dent, leaving the law of 1792 in that re spect to stand unrepealed. That law, however, does mot fit in with the changed date for the meeting of the electors. It provides for three certifi- cates, one to be sent by messenger to the president of the senate and to be delivered to him before the first Wednesday of the following Janua This is prior to the time appointed in the act of 1887 for the mecting of the electors. A duplicate certificate is to be sent by mail, forthwith, to the president of the senate, and a triplicate is to be deliveredforthwith to the judge of the district. Obviously it would be impossible for the electors meeting on the second Monday in January, as pro- vided in the act of 1887, to send one of the certificates by messenger to the president of the senate to be delivered before the first Wednesday in Januar, but they could *““forthwith” mail a cer- tificate and deliver another to the judge of the district cour The act of 1792 provides for the pe ble failure of the messenger to act by requiring that in such case the sec retary of state shall send a special mes- senger to the district judge, in whose custody one certificate has been placed, and the judge is required to thereupon transmit that certifieate to the seat of government, the evident intention being that the certificate filed with the judge shall take the place of that which Should have becn sent by messenger to the president of the senate. Under the act of 1887 there would necessarily be a failure, and while it would be corrected in the manner provided for in the old law, it is manifestly de- sirable that the Aefect in the law of last year be remedied, so that there shall bo no cause of dispute or trouble, This the bill passed by the senate on Tuesday provides for, by directing that the certificates and lists of votes for president tnd vice president of the Uuited States shall be forwarded to the coate forthwith after the second Mon- day in January, on which the electors shall give their votes. The bill also amends the revised statutes relating to this matter, so as to provide that whenever the certificate of votes from any state has not been received at the seat of govern- ment on the fourth Monday of Janua the secrotary of state shall send a special messenger to the district judges in whose custody the certificate of votes from that state has been lodged, and such judge shall forthwith te that list to the seat of government. is somewhat singular that the defe the act of 1887 evaded the scrutiny both of congress and the president, for that it has been pointed out it appears usfliciently glaving to have attracted at- tention on the most cursory perusal of the act, now An Attractive Feature Commencing with its Sunday iscue of October 14, Tne Bee will begin the publication of a series of interesting letters upon “‘the out of way places Asin,” from the pen of Mr. Frank G.

This is a nota- ble programme and promises the colloc- tion ofa fund of interesting information from out-of-way places which will prove of great novelty and interest. That the letters will be more than readable goes without saying.

There is an average at- tendance of seventy-six paupers whoave supported at an expense of over forty cents a day for each person. The food for every individual costs twelve cents, leaving a balance of twenty-cight cents supposed to be ex- pended daily for his benefit. It is im- possible to estimate with actness for what purposes this money is spent, as the superintendent of the poor farm makes no report of receipts and expend tures, It must, however, impress every taxpayer that the authorities of Douglas county are paying out too much for the support of paupers and the poor meas- ured by the benefits which they get. A reform is demanded. The leak must be stopped. 1f ninety dollars a day are spent for the support of the county’s wards, the taxpayer should know that the poor are getting full value for every dollar expended on them. A change is imperative in the loose system of accounts where the expenses for the poor farm and the money spent on the county’s poor are hopelessly jumbled together in the county’s gen- eral expenses. The commissioners should see to 1t that every dollar of this fund is properly accounted for. Let the leak be located and stopped im- mediately. Engineer Webster, Two weeks ago tho council referred to the city attorney the petition of the New York Life Insurance sompany for a permit to excavate and hold for its private use sixty-eight by twenty-two fecton Seventeenth street outside of the curb line. The object of referring this petition to Mr. Webster was to get his views as to the legality of granting, for private use, streets and thoroughfares beyond the sidewalk line. Instead of confining himself to the legal points in- volved, he goes out of his way to discuss the probable safety of the street after it has been excavated, and gives his views on engineering and construe- tion of an underground boiler house, winding up with the assur- ance that the underground power- house involves no danger to citizens and urges the council to grant the per- met. Now, we should like to know what Mr. Webster does not know about engineering and architecture, and we feel confident that such knowledge would fill several volume: But why did the city attorney take so much pains to enlighten the council on engineering points when he was simply expected to ive legal advice? Is Mr. Webster paid by the city to act as solicitor for the life insurance company? Has he a contract for engineering this power house scheme through the council? A NEW issue is likely to bhe raised with Canada, in the event of the senate passing the resolution of Mr. Blair call- ing for information regarding the trial, conviction and execution of Reil for high treason. Mr. Blair stated in de- fense of his resolution that Reil was a naturalized American citizen, but we are not furnished with any information s to what the crotchety New Hampshire senator proposes to do about the matter in case the information he desives shall be obtained. Riel had resided fora number of yesars in this country after his first ahortive effort at insurrection in Canada, and before he entered upon his last and fatal scheme of revolution, but it is somewhat uncer- tain about his ever having been natur- ed. And even if he was a citizen of this country it is not quite clear that the United States would have any just ground for making any sort of a demand upon the dominion. An American citizen who makes war on a neighboring state must take the conse- quences if he fail into the hands of that state, His citizenship cannot shield him and should not. As to il, who was executed three years ago, he not a character that any country could be proud of. He wus simply a mis- chievous adventurer, having neither wisdom nor courage. It is probable that the senate will not gratify Me. Blair by passing his resolution. Tne Chicago police behaved excel- lently in the cav-strikers’ trouble yes- terday, showing great promptitude and vigor, and rigid impartiality,. When a flying brick addressed to au obnoxious superintendent landed below his belt, curling him up temporarily, he became so enraged that he drew a revolver and was going to shoot into the mob of strikers. The police disarmed him in a twinkling., Also when he retired from the scene a minute afterwards in consequence of the brick, the police protected him at the hazard of their lives and arrested one of his assailants who was furious with drink, fortunately the only one in that condition. Has not the mayor in- herently the power to settle this ques- tion? 1f it is thought that he has not then the sooner that an amendment is added to the constitution of Illinois giv- ing full discretionary power for the dis- posal of all questions arising between companies holding city franchises and their employes to mayors, the better it will be for the public, which is always the veal sufferer in these contests. NO ONE must be deceived by the pres- ent slump in wheat, because the price of flour has gone up materially in England, a country where the consumer invariably buys in large quantities. The fluctuations of prices it a board of wheat speculators will always give a good general idea of the true facts when they ave observed in the mass, but il observed partinlly, details ave apt to be very misleading in such a case. Tt is at present the policy of the dealers to make u big break in prics to scare the farmers who have just avakened to the ssity of holding buck for higher prices, thereby putting the millers in a tight place, as they ave not able to meet the demand upon them {w flour because they cannot get wheat. Wheat ought to feteh $1.25 a bushel, and it is to be hoped that the farmers will not allow themselves to bo fooled by the tricks and flimsy devices of the wheat brokevs, but will hold on. For five years they have received less than the cost of pro- duction, and now that the sun is begin- ning to shine on their side of the hedge they ought to profit largely. OMANA must send to the legislature men who will represent the interests of v and whose known integrity and standing in the community afford a guaranty that they will keep out of the meshes of the railroad spider and devote their energies to the enactment of laws that will compel equal taxation of all classes of property and fair rates for all patrons of public carricrs. If the two great parties do not nominate such men as their candidates Tre Ber will favor an independent legislative ticket in the interest of the taxpayers of Omaha and Douglas county. /ht that We, Us deuyl & Co. have not lost their grip upon the city of Omaha.

Wheat. New York Sun. At the prevailing prices of the various de- liveries of wheat in the markets of the United States yesterday, Russia and Iudia could sell at a profit in our market. The duty on wheat is not heavy euough to keep the foreign wheat out. Canada this year has little or no wheat, or at the present prices her farmers could afford to pay the duty and deliver their grain in Chicago or New York. “Lhe high price of wheat has no terrors for us. Weare the only country in the world that can regard it with unmixed satisfaction ; and the reflection that the farmers of our great western wheat fields are getting ap o tual cash dollar a bushel, and more, for the wheat is grateful in the extreme, It means widespread and extraordinavy prowperity; and the American workman is able to buy all the bread he wants. ‘What Do You Think of This?

The yield falls con- siderably below the ear! estimates, and barvely equals half an average crop, or atotal production in the state of about 45,000 bules. The largest grower in the state, in Otsego county, lust year harvested 000 pounds from ninet 8iX aer while this on, with 5 ac planted, his crop is only 60,000 pounds.
