P. FEIL Notary Public. EXCLUDING reporters from the mect- ing of the western railroad presidents at Chicago wasan indiscreet move. The roporters will get it just the same. Tamiy Tne Herald discusses intelligently the presidential aspirations of Senator Beck, of Kentucky. As the senator was born in Scotland, his presidential aspirations will probably trouble no one outside the Herald offic BILLINGS and his pig-poisoning the- ory have a dangerous rival. An Ar- kansas doctor soberly ciaims to be ex- tirpating hog cholcra by the faith cure. Unfortunately it is not stated whether the hog or the doctor must exercise the necessary faith, Tie sale and closing down of the Fowler packing house at Sioux City will create general surprise. Fowler Broth- ers made a mistake when they passed by Omaha in the midst of the corn and hog belt, and went to Sioux City which is just at the edge. THE legislature of California is said t0 bo body and soul 1n the power of Boss Buckley. The democratic legislature of that state voted salaries for one hun- drod and ninety clerks, which is more than double the membership of the two houses. The spoils system is evidently spelled with capital letters in Cali- fornia. NEBRASKA makes a poorer showing than any other western state in the pos- tal service of the country, under the prosent administration, While Towa has seventeen representivesin the post- office department and Kansas eight, this state has but four, two being allotted to each of the political parties. The three states furnish seventeen republi- cans against twelve democrats. Under .the next administration Nebraska may reasonably be expected to receive a more generous recognition. THE corn erop of the United States is now officially stated to be one billion nine hundred and eighty-seven mil- lions which unquestionably is the largest ever raised. While the open weather has favored the rapid move- ment of corn to market it is neverthe- less unfavorable to its maturity and farmers are holding back thelr ship- ments for fear of finding their corn graded unney vily low. Neverthe- less the prices for corn are ruling firm and the farmers of Nebraska should nov fail to profit by them THE decision in the supreme court of [owa which gives land ownors the right to recover dimages for trespass from the owners of cattle grazing on unfenced tands will not find favor 1in the eyes of the cattlomen. The right to free pas- turage on wild lands has for yoars beon the custom not alone in fowa but in Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado, and other western states. The rapid in- erease, however, in the population of these states and the consequential rise in the value of prairie lands have made it necessary to abridge this time hon- ored custom, While it is true that a rigid enforcement of the law as handed down by the Towa supreme court would work hardship upon those settlers who avail themselves of this grazing privil- ege, it is nevertheless one of the condi- tions which the cattlemen must sooner or later meet due to the rapid growth of the western states. —_— Tug proposed legislation introduced in f’tsunsyl\;unhh New York and othoer eastern states to place an emb argo on the sale of dressed beef will not benefit the local cattle raisers and farmers of those states. The consumption of meat far outruns the supply. If laws are passed for the inspection of cattle on the hoof for the purpose of encouraging the home market, what is to prevent the railroad companies from bringing live cattle from the west? Such was the cattle business before the great packing houses of the west had suffi- ociently developed to supply the whole sountry with dressed beef, The bills w0 prevent the sale of western meats in Pennsylvania and other eastern states, it they become law, would necessarily raise the price of meat, and would ben- efit the railroads and the local butch- ers, But the farmers would reap no benefits. And it looks asif the hue and ory raised over the issue is merely an attempt to get the farmers to pull the chestnats out of the fire for the good of the other fellow. CARE IN TRUST LEGISLATIO! Very great care must be taken in logislation for the prevention and pun- ishment of trusts that it doss not go so far asto interfere with legitimate busi- ness associations now recognized as legal and proper, and which are not effected to accomplish any of the pur- poses which render the trust and like combinations repugnant to law and public policy. One of the most strin- gent and sweeping anti-trust Lills thus far presented in any state legislature is under consideration by the legislature of Tllinois, and the objection has been raised to it that its effect might be to prevent two or more firms engaged | strietly private business from entering into a common partner- ship or consolidation, and inte fere with a trades union combination of workmen to advance or fix the price of labor. The point is made that in many cases “business houses and even newspapers are consolidated and partnerships formed for the express purpose of avoid- ing the competition for the same custom that would exist it each partner were an individual trader or producer,” but this could not be done under the Ilinois bill, The measure pro- posed in the Ne York legisls ture is mnot subject to this ob- jection, having been formed on the lines of L€ recent judicial decision against the sugar trust. It provides that every contract or part of contract in restraint of trade is void, that no cit- izen or corporation doing business in that state shall make an agreement with any corporation in the state, in another state, or in a foreign country, to abstain from doiug business. Any such contract shall be voi nd if the state corporation be guilty the attorn general shall bring action to forfeit its franchise, while if the foreign corpora- tion be guilty it shall be forbidden to do business in the state. The anti-trust bills that have been introduced in the Nebraska legislature will need to be very ecarefully consid- ered with reference to avoiding the ob- jection that is made to the Tllinois meusure. The thing to be accomplished is to provent combinations of corpora tions holding franchises or monopolisti privileges, who organize for the gen- cral vestraint of trade and destruction of competition, in order that they may control production and regulate price: It is not required that there shall be any interfercnce with the legitimate consolidation of business firms, which cannot result in monopoly. The legislators of Nebraska, in common with those of other states, should keep in view the importance of having the legislation against trusts on constitutional lines, so that it shall work noinjury or injustice to legitimate entorprise and stand every legal test. LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS. There is a disposition in congress to insist that the interests and rights of the United States in Samoa shall be maintained. The jingoism of Senator I'rye does not meet with very extended approval, but there is an evident deter- mination not to complacently submit to the high-handed proceedings of Ger- many, which are admittedly in viola- tion of international agreement. The amendments to the diplomatic and con- sular appropriation bill reported from tho senate committee on foreign rela- tions, which provide appropriations, to be immediately available, to enable the president to protect American citi- zens in Samoa, and also to estab- lish there a naval and coaling station, will undoubtedly be approved by both houses of congress. The sum proposed to be placed at the disposal of the president, six hundred thousand dollars, is simply an emergency fund, to be used in the executive diseretion in equipping men of war or transporting troops. but it is sufficient to show the temper of congress relative to this matter. As yet it does not clearly appear just what rights the United States has at stake. In hiscommunication to congress in refercnce to the Somoan in- broglio the president spoke of treaty arrangements to which thi country is a party. The for- cign relations committee of the sen- ato also refers to such obligations. Tn his instructions to Admiral Kimberly the secretvry of the navy spoke of the conduct of Germany &s *in violation of positive agreement and understanding hetween treaty powers.” But Secretary Bayard is quoted as having suid that the United States has no joint treaty with either land or Germany in gard to the neutrality of Samoa, but a sort of general agroement or under- stunding, so that if the neutrality of Samon has been interfered with by Germany she has not broken a treaty with the United States, but only with Great Britain. If this be the case the extent of the duty of this govern- ment would seem to be merely that of seeing that American citizens in Sa- mon are protected, and that adequate veparation be made for any outrages or losses inflicted on them. This goyern- ment may employ all proper efforts and influences to bring about a peaceful set- tlement of the ditficulties on the islands, but if it has no treaty rights to mai tain it isnot callod upon to use its power to perpetuate the neutrality or inde- pendence of Samos. Secretary Bayard’s generally tempor- izing policy respecting internations uffairs has subjected him to sharp criticism in the K mat- tor. This may not be altogether de- served, but there can be no question that be might have shown more interest and spirit at the outset of these difficul- ties, the effect of which would very likely have been greatly to the advan- tage of American citizens in Samoa. As it is there will probably be a long period of diplomatic controversy, if uothing worse, and Americans who have suffored will wait perhaps years for indemuity, and may never have full justice done then, m—— DEADWOOD'S MISTAKE. 1t is conceded on all hands that busi- ness is looking up in the Black Hills, and that many things are combining to turn the attention of capitalists to thav region, Most prominently stand for- ward the good showing made in the re- sent efforts to handle refractory oves, sad the opportunity of making loans advantageously to the commercial houses springing up i Rapid Cfty and Deadwood. There are besides these two chief factors inducements of a moro speculative character offered by tho mines of Harney's Peak, and the mines of non-refractory ores, where lead is found having a paying percentage of the precious metals, The agricultural intorest has done well, and is making itself felt as a producer of wealth. Then, on the other hand, in the b of capital at the east, business is de- pressed, railroad stocks are giving their owners perennial night mares, labor is uneasy, capital is becoming timorous, and there are in contempla- tion changes of tariff which tend to unsettle values. At such atime it is but natural that those who have money for which they desiroe in- vestment, should read with interest the glowing accounts given by disinterested correspond sof affairs at the Black Hills, QOne thing disquiets Deadwood. Tt has no railrond communication, and persons wishing to go there must take the stage precisely as in the days when Buffalo Bill was performing his heroic exploits and rescuing the whole outfit from the attacks of Sioux warriors. 1e Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Val- ley railroad goos only as far as White- wood, which is nine miles from Dead- wood. It has been mutuaily agreed on all hands that this failure to connect used by the engineering difficul- t present themselves. In the first place it would be necessary to tun- nel through thirteen hundred feet of solidlimestone and then the grade would be somewhat steep and difficult, and might render necessary the aid of n sccond locomotive. But common sense will convince any thinking citizen of Deadwood that so enterprising a com- uters pany as the I'remont would not be de- terred by such small matt as these, In Omaha it is understood Dead- wood’s predicament is largely the result of Deadwood's own fault, and though it is impossible not to sympathize with the wistful editorials t appear constantly in tho Deadwood press, it does not yet appear thut any steps have been taken to induce the road to come to their city It is generally believed in Omaha that there was a movement to make the line pay smartly for its right-of-way, and that a citizen who held what he con- sidered was the only place suitable for a depot, was prepared to charge three prices for it. Whenever the desire for railroad communiecation is so great that the itching souls who want to bleed any line coming w the city will be sup- pressed, there can be no doubt, that the prospects for suceess will be materially bette But until the inhabitants are prepared to welcome a railrdad an- other fashion, it is to be feared that the Deadwood stage will remain the great institution of the place. S0ME PLAIN TALK. County Treasurer Bolln denies that he has contributed two thousand dollars to the Jefferson square boodle fund, and adds that he is not qu generous as vepresented. He ascribes what he calls T I assault on him as a pr citizen and an official to the despera- tion with which Tue b fighti 1 on Parnam. Mr. BoHn may have been quoted as to tho exact amount he has contributed to the Jetfer- son square fund. It may be cighteen hundred dollars instead of two thousand. That docs not matter. The fact remains that Mr. Bolln has contributed a large sum, and that he is out canvassing for a scheme which every honest man must look upon asnot. retain the city mis- much better than trying to rob citizens and tax payers of arned money by secking to destroy the value and rental capacity of buildings expressly constructed at an enormous outlay for office pur- poses, As a private citizen, Mr. Bolln is in very bad company with a gang of repudiators who want to see Crows roost in the largest and most im- posing mewspaper building in America. As an officer,. his conduct is scandalous, He was elected by the votes of the people whose prop- ¢ he is now endeavoring to damage, and his little earnings as treasurver, which amount to from ten to fifteen thousand dollars a year, ought to be in- vested in a more legitimate enterprise than in a boodle campaign that exp Farnam street property owners to be bled by vagabonds and riffraff at the risk of having their property de- preciated. It Mr. Bolln had erected a four hun- dred thousand dollar building in Omaha at a time when her boom was all col- lapsed, he probably would econsider it an outrage and infamy to be black- mailed and assaulted when he would have aright to expect encouragement in his task and gratitude from the city he had helped to build up. 08 SCOPE. . J. H. Millard is quoted as saying that he did not want to look at the city hall 4hrough a telescope. Does Mr. Millard look through a telescope at the New York Life building? Through which end of the telescope does ho see the eighty-five thousand dollars which the New York Life company paid him for their lots on the corner of Seven- teenth and Farnam on thg assurance of the city hall location, and which lots Mr. Millard offered to sell for thirty thousand dollars only a few months be- fore the eity hall was located on the adjoining block? Are citizens of Omaha, and bankers especially, willing to let it go abroad thatany man who in- vests in property in this city must take his ehances on being confidenced out of his Jnoney if ho is dupe enough to place any value on public building locations. This is the marrow of the present so-called competition between Farnam and Jeflerson square. So far as public honor is concerned it is on a par with an effort to repudiate a public debt which has passed into the haods of capitalists credulous enough to believe that the city will redeem its obliga- tions. THE bill introduced in the legislature 1o amend the law fixing sheriffs’ fees for'the boarding of prisoners should be vigorously opposed, especially by the Douglas county delegation. Tho evi- dent purport of the measure is to fixthe board of each prisoner at seventy-five cents per day wnder six days, and fifty conts per day for each prisoner confined more than six days. This would make it compulsory on .the county to pay the gheriff the fixed tate, whereas the pres- ont law providés that the board of each prisoner shall mot oxceed seventy-five cents per day, not more than fifty cents for ch prispner confined more than six days. In accordance with the law now in force the county commissioners, for the year 1888, scaled the sheriff’'s fees for the boarding of each prisoner per day to an ge of thirty-seven cents, which is notonly a great reduction from fifty cents, but yiclds a handsome profit to the sheriff. [n comparison with the cost for boarding prisoners in Chicago, St. Louis and other large cities, Doug- las county pays nearly double for tho support of its prisoners, There is no reason why this should be so. The cosu of the common life are equally as cheap if not cheaper in this locality than in Chicago. But waiving the question aside, it is the height of impudence for the sherifls of the state totry to railroad a measure through the legislature which would result in un- reasonable exaction from the taxpayers of cach county in the ave necessaries of QTiE new immigration bill which the Ford committoo reported to con- gress proposes to prevent “anarchists” and “socialists” from putting foot on American soil. The tion is by what means will abroad and customs officia home find out what opinions each immigrant carries in his hat concerning principles of government, society and rights of property. Will the hapless foreigner bo put through a catechism especially nd interesting ques- our consuls prepared for the consular servie what answers will convict him asan anarchist and which ones will stamp him as a socialist? It will be necessary for our government to d what avowals and beliefs are necessary to mark a man as an chist” or “sociaist.” Moreover, it will bo nee- essury to establish degrees of anarch aftor the manner of degrees of murder. For, maunifestly, it would be unjust to ine pr convicta man of the flrst degree of anarchy who believes in a mild way in the community of goods and the evil of too much legislation and too many foolish laws. It would be decidedly in- teresting to learn in what eategory such men as Henri Rochefort and John Dil- lon would be classed were they to come over as immigrants under the Ford law. On the face of it the proposed regula- tions are absurd, and mercly illustrate what impracticable national legislators ave liable to batch. schemes Tne inter-state commeree commission is promised an opportunity to make an ample of railroad managers who have not complied with the orders made by the commission in Chicago recently. Tt will be remembered that the investig tion then prosecuted resulted in closures which led Judge Cool ch man of the commission, to talk very plainly to the ofifending managers, whom he warned that a repetition of & dis- the abuses would be summarily pun- ished. Complaints of a violation of the orders of the commission have become numerous that it will in sit Chicago, and if the charges are substantiated it is ex- pected the commission will. proceed agaiust the offenders to the full extent of its authority. It ought by all means to do so. The fact appears to be that noth- ing short of a firm and rigid enforce- ment of the law will prevent its con- stant evasion or violation. The evi- dence is that the agreement entered intoa few weeks ago in New York, which promised a full compliance with the requirements of the inter-state act, is not being generally rvegarded, thus furnishing additional and more con- vincing proof of the faithlessness of railroad managers. The plain duty of the commission is to hold all violators of the law to a strict and severe re- sponsibilit; A MARKED increase in the number of hogs packed for the week ending Jan- uary 23 is perceptible all along the line of the leading packing cente Omaha has felt the quickening impulse, and its record is beginning to compire very favorably with the product of the corve sponding time last year, VOICE O RESS, Hou r the Pioneer.

Lobbying Lor a Bonan Hastings Nehrashan, The list of lobbyists who regularly swarm about the legislature would be incomplete without mention of the school book publisher who has a scheme to secure a greater uni- formity in the use of books.
