AN effort is being made in Towa mill- ing circles to awaken popular interest among wheat growers of the state to ox- tond the area of their wheat acreage, It has been suggested that the wheat crop could be improved if the sowing were to take place in the fall, rather than in spring. What applies to Iowa {n this respect applies to Nebraska as well. Although both states are ungues= tionubly best adavted for corn raising, there are sections in each of them where wheat could be grown more profitably provided the proper methods were adopted. m———— NAVAL circles are more than pleased with the remarkable performances of the dynamite cruisor, Vesuvius, which has just completed her third official trial, The bout has qualified herself as the fastest vessel afloat, having made a record of twenty-five statute miles an hour. Buv aside from her speed, the Vesuvius is destined to revolutionize modern ships of war just as the Monitor ia her day made the modern iron clad 8 possibility. The new dynamito gun with which this vessel is armed, hus brought into use the most terrible agent of destruction known to modern war- fare.

It to secure this that troat arrangements were effected between the United States, Groat Britain and Germany, which tho latter country now seems disposed to disrogard. Tt may be that the clear statement made to the German govern- ment of our position, and the action taken to protect the interests of Amer- ican citizens in Samoa, will have the effect to induce Germany to change its attitude, but if they should not, the gov- ernment of the United States must in- with this gov the a Sumou. tonomy and repres to whatever sellish This the he don growing com= sist upon treaty obligations being ob- served at whatever risk to the peaceful relations between the two countries. It must be obvious to all that this ountry cannot recede from the position it has taken without prac- tically surrendering Samoa to Ger- many, which would be both a material sacrifice and o great loss of presti There is promise of complications in another direction. Advices from the American consul at Panama report a threatened crisis there which may com- pel this government to interpose for the protection of American interests, as it had to do some three years ago. The action of the senate in passing the reso- lution hostile to permitting any Euro- pean government to control or inter- fere with the construction of the Pi- ama canal is resented by the people of the United States of Colombia, and undoubtedly if the threatened crisis at Panama shall come, and it is not easy to see how it can be averted, American interests there would have little regard, If the United States government exerts its power to protect them, as unques- tionably it will, it is by no means im- probable that aserious difficulty with Colombia might result. These wcidents have a particular in- terest as illustrating the almost contin- ual danger of international controver- siesand contentions which besets a great and growing commercial nation with steadily expanding interests that reach out to all the world. They emphasize the necessity of such a nation being always in a state of preparation to as- sert and defend its rights. The United States is no longer wholly free from the dangers ovher nations are subject to by reuson of its isolation, and with every stuge of its commercial progress it must find the chances of international con- troversies increase. It should, there- fore, be prepared to meet these possible difficulties with a power sufficient to enforce every right which it may justly claim and to muintain whatever policy its people shall deem necessary to ad- vance their welfare. CONTROL OF IMMIGRATION. The bill agreed upon by the Ford com mittee of the house of represcntativ proposes some radical changes for the regulation and control of immigration. A good feature of the bill is the proposal to take the supervision and inspection of immigrants entirely out of state con- trol and place it in the hands of the federal government. The abuses, cor- ruption and injustice that have been practiced by the emigration commis- sioners of New York furnish a suflicient reason why the ional govornment should assume the entire control of this business, The comm sioners ave very largely respon- sible for the violations of existing laws in permitting improper persons to land, but even more serious has been their collusion with railroad companies by which immigrants have for years been shamelessly fleeced. The dis- closures which have been made of abuses at Castle Garden are disgraceful to the state, yet nothing practical has been done to remedy them. Federal officials in control of the supervision and inspection of immigrants could not possibly do worse than the commis- sioners have done, and there is every reason to suppose that they would in all respects do very much better. More- over, the business distinctly belongs to the federal government, Persons intending to emigrate to the United States will be required to give at least tharty days’ notice of their in tention to an American consul, accom- panied with a statement as to character and condition, and whether they intend in good faith to become citizens of the United States, No immigrant will be permitted to land without a consular certificate, and a steamship company bringing over persous without such eer- tificate will be compelled to carry them back, and may also be subjected to pros- ecution and fine. If all cousuls were guaranteed to be strictly honest this plan would doubtless work well, but it would offer an opportanity and temptation to consuls tosell certificates, the only check being the risk of expos- ure. In order to meet the necessary expense of the proposed to increase the head tax from fifty cents to five dollars. This of would very likely tend to reduce im though it is far more liber demand of those would A tax on immigrants practi- sons coming from obvionsly inspection service gration than the like to put all who ¥ prohibitory.

The truth doubtless is that the members of the British government care no more for one American party than for the other, though if they have a preference, it would seem natural that it should be for the democratic party. However, in this matter of a successor to Sackville-West, the plain intention of Lord Salisbury is to admin- ister a rebuke to the present ad- ministration for what he undoubtedly believes was an injustice to the ex- truded ambassador and an affront to the nation he represented. The attitude of Lord salishury may be somewhat pue- rile, but it doubtless satisfies Knglish public sentiment, to which Sackville West has been appealing, and at any rate the Knglish premier has shown that he is capable of taking avery small and narrow view of things. NoTHING could be more that loes not to assumo heeause gove Meanwhile we are getting along very well without a British minister, and would prefer to continue the situation if England can- not very greatly improve upon her last ambassador, at least in the matter of personal character. CoLoRADO s wrestling with the liquor question in dead earnest. A high license bill is now pending in the legis- lature, which 1s combatted by the liquor dealers who avo foolishly playing into the hands of the prohibition element. The straggle toa great extent is a re- petition of the fight which was waged in Nebraska in 1881, when the Slo- cumb law was first brought forward. The press and conservative element aro pointing out the folly. of vesistimg any concession to the movement in favor of igh license. .The question has nar- rowed down to high license or prohib- ition in that state, and the suicidal pol- icy adopted by the liquor dealers in fighting the former, is driving large numbers into the camp of the prohib- itionists. It is to be hoped that Colo- rado will not make the fatal blunder that has blighted lowa. If they will model after Nebraska they will have high license where public sentiment would not uphold prohibition, while in localities that favor total abstinence they can decree that no liquor shall be sold.

The indications are that neral Har- vison will not give very great attention to extreme opinions in shaping the policy of his administration either as to this or any other question. HE junket of the committee on pub- lic lands and buildings to the various state institutions in the past has always cost the state thousands of dollars while it has afforded the committee rich and vavied entertainment. For that reason, if for no other, membership on the committee of public lands and buildings has been greatly sought by ambitious legislators, The resolution, however, just introduced into the house to the effect that the secretary of state shall furnish the committee on public lands and buildings with transportation and their actunl expenses only while visit- ing the various state institutions, will dampen the ardor of its members, and reduce the financial rating of this com- mittee in the eyes of the legislature, THE net-work of ove the corner of Farnam and Eleventh streets interfered seriously with the fire department in its attempt to control the fire in the Max Meyer building.

Chicago Times: In the chancellors’ declar- ation of inviolable rights there is no comfort for any other than law-abiding citizens. 1f the policeman is pointed the way of duty so, too, turbulent persons desirous of inciting people to violence and disorder have admoni- jon from the bench. Through the entire opinion runs the lesson that law must be re- ted by everybody, whatever his station. rned, a useful and a timely It dicta are specially welcome, for what says the constitution of Illinois, the inviolability of which the chanceilor has as serted with force and dignity? Chicago Herald: Chicago has already suffered from anarchists all that it can en- dure. The people generally sustain the po- lice authorities in their attempt to keep down that element which is at war with society. Chancellor Tuley has temporized with them unduly. His decision is right, but his gen- eral argument is out of place. There is not the least reason to believe, or even imagine, that the right of American citizens to peace- fully assemble is now placed in the slightest jeopardy. Chicago News: The decision is a notable one in many respects, and the incidents which led up to it were fortunate in oceur- ring at a time when, without passion or ex- citement, the public attention was sufl- ciently attracted to secure the fullest profit from the lessons taught, With equal hand the chancellor holds the scale between the coutestants and defines with certitude the rights of each. And while thus ruling in the spirit of strictest equality on the point at issue, there m be read—not between the lines, but in every line—the lesson of loyalty to the law which every anarchist needs to take to heart, - PROMINENT PLRSONS, Patti, it is snid, has lost cortain notes of her voice.

On tho afternoon of January 15, J. ker, a ticket broker at 814 South Tenth street, sold a ticket to Ed Stout entitling him to transportation to Denver over the Union Pacific. The ticket was originally sold Jan- uary 6, at Indianapolis, and was limited to thirty days on the out-going trip, and for re- turn, until April 6. It was issued by the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road. It was a first class unsigned ticket, and Mr. Stout purchased it, paying $18, and_obtained a rebate order of §28 at Denver,by delivering up that portion of the ticket entitling the holder to passage between Denver and In- dGianapolis. Mr. Stout started for Denver “Tuesday evening, and when he got to South Omaha, Tram Agent C. R. Cook took the ticket and tore off the coupons between Omaha and Denvor, and handed him baclk the remaining portion of the ticket, and then told him that the coupons were no good and that he must pay his fare or get off.

It is stated that the Union Pacific has struck another large vein of coal in the Almy Qistrict near Evanston, Wyo.
