TiE symptoms of White Cap tenden- rics now appeaving in Nebraska can he suppressed, The only proper use for a White Cap is to adorn a limb, But probably the threats purporting to come from this organization are the wholly idle bluffs of a few badly scared Iynchers. Tur Minnesota legislature has taken steps to pluce the financial operations of building and loan associations under ghe inspection of the state banlk exami- ner. In view of the fact that in the past fow months a large number of such nssocintions have been incorporated in Nebraska, the necessity of providing pimilar laws of state supervision should not fuil to impress itself upon our legis- lators. Tieaction of the Kansas railrond commission in ordering the roads of that Btate to discontinue the new weighing system of live stock and to charge by the carload, as formerly, will in all probability affect the weighing system wtthe Omuha stock yards, as well as those at Kansas City and Chicago. [t Is claimed that the weighing system adopted by the railroads at these vari- ous markets January 1 is extremely un- !:?pumr with shippers. It notonlyadds the increased cost of freight, but eauses unnecessary delay and injury to ptock, due to the switching and jolting f the cars, Em—— REPRESENTATIVE business men of pur city are at all times ready to en- courage the location of manufacturing pstablishments in our midst. No worthy enterprise which is adapted to supply the wants of the territory tributary to Omaha, or is able to convert the raw materials of our products need go abeg- ging for financial aid at our doors, The fleld is & broad one for just such indus- tries and success is certain where busi- ness methods are adhered to. But while Omaha is anxious and willing to foster infant industrios, it cannot afford to extend aid to such enterprises as are mere experiments or weaklings ill- adapted to our needs and locality. CONCURRENT JURISDICTION. The proposal to amend the inter-state commerce act so as to confer upon the state courts concurrent jurisdiction with the federal courts to hear and deter- mine canses arising under the law, re- wding which there is disagreement between the house and senate, ought to prevail. The purpose of the proposed amendment, which originated in the | house, is to enable the citizen conven- iently to apply to the courts for redress, and itis a good purpose which congress should not defeat. As was said by Mr Crisp in the course of the discussion on the amendment a few days ago, in soms of the states it is quite easy to apply to a United States court for redress, but there are states where the citizen must go. and must take his witnesses, two or three hundred miles toa foderal court inorder to have his case tried. Obvi- ously the most certain way to secure from individuals and corporations a striet compliance with law is to put it in the power of the persons who are in- by their failure to comply with » law to reach, with as little trouble and cxpanse as possibie, a court which can compel obedience. To y (o a mun that he must go two or three hundred miles with his witn: to reach a court where his case may be tried amounts in many instances to an absolute denial of justice. A shipper may have the best possible evidence that he has been injured, but when the alternatives are presented to him of bearing the wrong or going to the ox- pense of traveling far from his homo and taking his witnesses with him, in most cases there will be no attempt to secure redress through the courts. The loss of time, the neglect of business, and the great outlay involved where long distances must be traveled in ovder to reach a court are conditions which would compel many who might suffer 1njury at the hands of the carviers to seok redress by some less troublesome © means than an appeal to and e the courts. “Phe proposal to give state courts con- current juvisdiction with the federal courts, has been assailed on the ground that there 15 no power under the cou- stitution to do this, but this position has been sho whelming authovity to be untenable. The truth isit has been the uniform policy from the form- ation of the government for congress to confer jurisdiction upon state courts and state tribunals in s similar to the one under consideration, and until objection was raised in the interest of the railvoad corporations that wolicy has never been broken noe interrupted nor objected to. As was shown by M. Anderson, of Towr, who vigorously ad- vocated the proposed amendinent, the authority of congress to confor jurisdi tion on the state courts has been af- firmed by the supreme court of the nited States. This being conceded, as it was by most of those who opposed the amendment, the question is simply whether it would be in the interest of the people for congress to confer con- current jurisdiction on the state courts with respect to provisions of the inter- state commerce act. The great weight of argument is on the side of the pro- posed amendment, and the house did wisely in voling to adhere to it. ren AN INAUSPICIOUS FEAST The dinner given by Secrotary Whit- ney in houor of the president would un- doubtedly have been a far more enjoy- able affair than it was had Governor Hill not been presont. It appears that in oxtending an invitation to him it was expocted that he would follow nu- merous precedents in declining to go to ‘Washington, but this opportunity seems tohave had something irresistible about it. At any rate the invitation was promptly accepted and Me. Hill ap- veared on time at the Whitney [feast. The meeting of the president and the governor was an embarrassing incident for all concerned. 1t is described as having been as formal and icy as the circumstances would allow, and the e feet was chilling upon everybody. The governor manfully stayed the dinner through, but the president remained but a short time, an urgent call to New York with reference to his future resi- donee requiving his attention. There is a very general opinion, howeve that had Governor Hill not been pr ent Mr. Cleveland would have found it convenient to postpone at least for a day the New York visit, and the whole proceeding on the part of the presideut will bear but one reasonable exnlanation: that is that he does not feel friendly to Governor Hill, and regavdless of what was due to the host or considerations of etiquette Mr. Clevelund took this opportunity of pub- licly showing thut the former relutions batween himself and New York's gov- ecrnor no longer eoxsist. It was a sufliciently plain declaration that theso eminent democratic lenders have be- come s0 far soparated that they are not likely to ever again do battle together. Perhaps the mutter is not of vory great importanco, but it suggests that the demoeratic party may have a very interesting contest within itsown ranks four yeurs hence if these two leaders shall be rivals for the presidential nomination, as in all probability they will be. There is a numerous body of Clevelund admivers in the democratic party who will want him for the next presidentinl raco, and theve 1s not the stightest probability that he will en- deavor to persuade them to look for sowmebody else. He is going to New York, where ho will be identified with a prominent firm of lawyers, and can keep himgelf in cordial relations with the politicians of the state, He is not going out of politics, and when the time comwes his party can again run Lim for the presidency if it so desires. Meanwhile Governor Hill is going to do all ho can to strengthen his presiden- tial chances, but he will labor to this end with the assurance that he has a formidable enemy who will not spare any effort to defeat his ambition, The feast was not. auspicious that brought Cleveland and Hill together, but it possessed more than ordivary interest in having clearly estublished what had before been only suspected, 0 — Taere can be no question that the public lund laws should be speedily re- vised. The senate has agreed to ropeal the pre-omption and timbergulture acts and has sent the bill to the house. as on former occasions it is to be f that a powerful land lobby will defeat the measure. If passed, however, pub- lie lands will be reserved for actual settlers and subject to entry under the homestead act alone, Under the too lenient provisions of the presont home- stead law, millions of acres of the people’s land have been diverted by capitalists and syndicates for speculs tive purposes. Gigantic frauds have been porpetrated, and the heritage once sot aside for actual settlers has been shamefully abused. Of the three way: of proving n claim, the records of tho land offices show that bona fide settlers have for the most part taken thei first lands under the homestead act, while land grabbers have found it all too easy to secure immense portions of the public domain through the pre- emption and timber culture acts. There is anothor strong reason for amending theoriginal law. The public lands are fast disuppearing. Settlers and land grabbers have taken advantage of all three provisions of the homestead law in securing more than the one hundred and sixty acres, the ullotment for each individual as first designed by congres: The proposed legislation is intended to stop this wrong. Public lands are to be reserved for actual settlers, and the amount of holding is to be limited to one hundred and sixty acres each. T value of the corn, oat and wheat crop of Nebraska for last year, esti- mated by the agricultural buceau at nearly fifty millions of dollars, does not include the returns from the animalin- dustry, the second great naturval pro- duct of the state. Added to this the values impressed upon some of our raw materials by converting our corn, oats and wheat into meal and flour, our hogs and cattle into packing-house products, it 1s safe to estimate the total value of ouragricuitural, animal and manufac- tured products in the state for the year 1888 at from seventy to seventy-five mil- lions. In short, our state, irvespective of its commercial transactions, has brougnt just so much wealth into the world to exctange for the things we want. A part of this great sum will go to pay off the debts of the people of Nebraska, the mortgages which they owe. A part will be exchanged for the necessarvies of life, forclothing and for luxuries. But the greater part will be used to make permanent improvements, to build up cities and to improve our agricul- tural lands. Not a small part of these seventy-fiv millions will gravitate toward Omaha. They will percolate through every channel of trade and in- dustry in our city. They will quicken the wheels of our commerce, and will be converted mto buildings of stone and brick. Tue decision of Judge Brewer in the Towa shippers case was a bombshell in the camp of the railroads. Their out- ward anxiety to conform immediately to the state railroad commission’s schedule is not as sincere as it might appear on the surface. They want to gain time, and have set the heads of their legal dopartments togother to discover some way of checkmating the Towa commission, the courts and the people. A, through its leg the Chicago Times, “asks president-elect to appoint the Union Pacific railroad, which is in de- fault to the government in the matter of subvention bonds, secretary of tho interior.” This hits the nail squarely on the head. - OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. The mystery surrounding the deatn of the Crown Prince Rudolph remaius as impene- trable as ever, and in all probability will never be cleared up. To the outside world the principal interest possessed by the cir- cumstance lies in the bréak which it por- tends in the Hapsburg domain. The Aus- trian law prohibits wowmen from ascending the throne of that country. Hungary, how- ever, which is the larges!, of the other parts of which the empire is composed, offers no such obstacle against female rule. Rudolph left no male issue, is only child being a daughter now about six years old. On the death of the Austrian emperor, therefore, the crown will pass to the brother of that potentate, the Archduke Charles Louis, or one of his sons, while the daughter of Ru- dolph, if living, or if not alive then tho vounger sister of the dead prince, will attam the sceptre in Hungary. The archduke is understood to have signed ower to his eldest son, Francis, his claims to the succession. Francis is described as a good looking, good humored, dull and indolent young fellow, not yet marvied, and without special rep- utation or any discoverable talent. He is to be adopted as the heir, and an effort wil be made to educate him into something like fit- ness for the great post of Austrian emperor, who, besides being a descendant of the Ciesars, is the king of nine countries, and wears titles to the number of fifty-four. It will take very careful training to enable an idle and not especially bright young infantry major to fill so large an order, but that is the condition to which the house of Hapsburg is reduced., . e The political situation in France has been much less threatening since the chamber of doputics, by its vote of confldence, relieved the ministry of the necessity of retiring from power. As the most ilnlvufl"ylt result of the ministerial victory, it scems'to be conceded on all hands that the chamber of deputies will survive to the end of its term in Octo- ber, and that the centenary of the revolution will be undisturbed by political agitation. he next election will be held by arrondisse- wents, or single districts, the government Laving come to the couclusion that by re- turning to the old plan of electing deputies the republic would be able to better resist its enemies, But there is considerable difference of opinion iu regard 10 the wisdom of revers- ing the plan which Gambetta considered 8o essential to the republican programme. In order to arrest the Boulangist agitation, the bill of the ministry proposes that no special clection to the chamber of deputies shall be held between this time and the general elec- tion in October. Boulanger and his friends, however, appear to regard the government wovement against them with a cousiderable degree of composure, While the radicals re- joice over an unexpected vietory, the Bou- langists treat it ruther as a roprieve or as the forerunner of inevitable defeat. . o lhe intelligence that the Australian gov- ernment is opposed to the establishwent of a Gorman protectorate over the BSawoan Islands will tend to draw that province of Groat Britain into closer relation with the United States. Australia 1 jhis instauce disrogards the position of the English gov ernment for tha simple reason that that po sition conflicts with the policy of the pro vine cland undoubtedly has an upder standing with the German government in relation to the islands of the Pacific, which gives the Iecjde Islands to England and Samoa to Germany. But Australia has no interest in secing this unlerstanding carried | out. Itsees inthe German occupation of the Samoan Islands an obstacle to the closo relations thatare ‘growing up between Ans tralia and the Unjted States, and it does not hesitate to take issue with the home govern ment where its local interests are concerned. Australiaand California have stood tozother on the Chinese question. Although the Australian group of islands is sparsely sottled, the government has encrzetically provested against the immigration of a non- assimilative race. Arab influenco in Central Africa is made apparent by the confimation of the tidings that after Mwanga had been overthrown in Uganda his successor, Kiwiwa, was dis- posed of in like summary fashion, bocause he executed two Arabs who had driven out the missionaries. The Arabs of the lake ion, lLike those of the coast, sec that the time has come for a struggle between their methods—indeed, even their very means of livelihood—and those which the Kuropean trade companies are bringing in. Hitherto they have practically controlled the com merce of the interior of Africa and have ac quired and held a potent influence over its people. They have terribly misused this power in the slave trade, and now see not only this terrible occupation attacked. but the Germans, the Portuguese, the Bnglish, the French, and the Italians competing in the raco to open trade routes to the in- terior of the continent. They accopt the issue and begin their fight by driving out the missionaries from the interior and de- claring war against all the projects of Euro- peans, e Emperor Metricu, of Anam, who has just Qied, bogan his reign in 1384, when a French protectorate was declared over that country. His five years in authority did not add much to nis pleasure, a8 he had to deal with French generals upon the one hand and upon the other with an ill-tempered native povulation which has never fully acknowledged the sovereignty of France, The Roman Catholic missionaries have dustriously pressed their work, and the christians thero number prob- ably 400,000. The emporor lived at Hue, where there is a French garrison of about 12,000 soldicrs kept busy a great. part of the time in quelling insurrections, In October, 1887, the French government issued a dec based upon its conquests and treaties placing its Indo Chinese possessions of Cochin-China, Tonquin, Anam and Cambodia under one civil government in the hands of a gov- ornor general, a resident general being sta. tioned in Tonquin and Anam, a licutonant governor in Cochin-China, and a resident weneral in Cambodia. The native rulers of thiese divisions have consequently very little authority, and ‘“emperor” is a pretty big title for the late quusi ruler of Anam, Queen Victoria is said to be much disturbed at the approaching visit of the shah of Per- sia, and she will probably refuso to enter- tain him at any of the royal palaces. She hasn't forgotten his visit in 1873, which ne- cessitated @ thorough revamping of the apartments at Buckingham palace, which he then occupied. The shah is still tole barbaric, and his manners abound with social solecisms which are not easily tolerated in well regulated families. He will come laden with rich presents for the English notables, but when he calls her majesty will send down word that sheis out. “Tne present landed and commercial mter- ests of the United States in Samoa are very great. The harbor of Pango-Pango, which virtually belongs to us, is, in a naval point of view, the key to the Samoan group and to Central Polynesia; and as it is a convenient coaling station for mail steamers it would necessarily become the controlling commer- cial place in that vart of Polynesia. The bulk of the trade of Samoa is in the hands of Americans, the American Land company alone owning 200,000 acros of land. e The Robin's Say. Chicago Herald.
