It is quite possible that those who favor a subsidy policy as a means of re- storing our merchant marine will be stimulated to renewed effort by the ex- pression of the president that we should encourage the establishment of Amer- ican steamship lines. These, as well as such as are predisposed to draw wrong conclusions from the president’s utter- may, however, very easily be misled regarding the attitude of the president in this matter, It is already assumed that President Harrison is in favor of a subsidy policy, but this is by no means a fair infer- ence from what he said in his inau- gural address, Nor is it unreasonable to suppose that with his accurate knowledge of the general sentiment of the country, and particularly of the people of the west rogardless of party, respecting subsidies, he would make the mistake at the very outsetof his administration of giving his approval to a policy cectain to encounter almost universal opposition from the peopl It is presumed thet there will be few to differ with the view of the president that American steamship lines should auces, be encouraged. There is a very wide differcnce of opinion as to methods. Both prac- tical and patriotic considerations make 1t desirable that the foreign commerce of the United States shall in time be carried on principally by American ves- sels, Tt must necessarily bo at some- thing of a disadvantage until this is ac- complished. It is most natural that for- eign vessels should diseriminate in favor of the products of the countries to which they belong. It is inevitable that the buyers of other lands will be most friendly to the sellers of the coun- tries which can furnish direct and rapid transportation for what they purchase. The flag of a nation floating at the mastheads of its merchant vessels advertises its commerce and invites customers. It is largely in this way that England, Germany and France have captured the trade of this hemis- phere that should come most largely to the United States. When a few ars ago the commission authorized by con- gr visited South America in the in- terest of our commercial relations they found the people not unwilling to pur- chase American goods, but they were confronted by the question of transpor- tation. They found that whenever this country should be able to transport its commodities expeditiously in its own vessels there would be little difficulty in securing the trade. There was no prejudice against American commodities, but there was a prefer- ence for the countries that possess an adequate transportation service of their own. In order tocommand our share of this foreign commerce we must have the means of carrying it, so that our munufacturers and merchants shall not at the mercy of foreign ship owners in discriminating in favorof the commerce of their own countries. Another con- sideration in favor of an Ameri- can merchant marine is the fact that our people annually pay to these forcign vessel owners be- tween two and three hundred million dollars for freights ana fares. This large sum, yery nearly equal to the amount required to support the national government, would contributa materi: ally to the national prosperity. But the achievement of these advant- ages must come in some other way than from quactering a special interest on the public treasury. The country widl not tolerate a policy liable to an un- limited extension, and which would in- evitably lead to legisiative jobbery and profligncy. No party can retain the support and confidence- of the people which bocomes responsible for such a policy, and we do not think there need bo any apprehension that a republican president will recommend or a republi- ¢ congress adopt it. ——— IN A NUTSHELL. Mr. A. J. Hanscom, in an interview quoted by the Republican, hits the nail squarely on the head concerning the proposed charter amendment which takes the supervision of #he construc- tion of the city hall out of the hands of Furay, Balcombe and their right-bower, m Creightor The building of the city hall should be piaced in the hands of men who are in sym- pathy with the work, not in the hands of men who are prejudiced againsc the location, and who may and probably will delay the work on account of their iuck of interest in it. 1t is not wise to let mea who arc not friendly to the plan get controi of it. Then, again, there 18 not & man on the board of public works who knows anything worth meutioning about & building of that kind, anywa; Somebody opght to have charge of that building who is thoroughly familiar witn building. If the board were composed of the rignt kind of men, then it might be all right to let thom manage it, but they ave utterly incompetent to superintend the ercction of such a butding, THE BEEF MONOPOLY. A convention of vepresentatives of the states most largely interested in the cattle industry will meet in St, Louis to-morrow to consider what may be done to protect cattle raisers ngainst the operations of the alleged dressed- beef combine. This convention is the outcome of an agitation which has been gaiving in force and earnestness for a year, and which was brought prominently to the attention of the country by the appointment of a committee of the United States senate last year to investigate the charge that theve was u syndicate or ring which virtually controlled the beef market. It will be remembered that Senator Piumb of Kaosas, and Senator Vest of Missouri, made speeches in the senate in which they asserted that such a combine existed, and that it was oue of the most formidable and in- jurious in the country. [t was upon this authority that the senate commit- tee was created and empowered w0 in- vestigate the whole subject, So far as we are aware this committee has but partially carried out its instructions. The existence of a combine has been stoutly denied by those charged with being identified with such an organization, but the eattle raisers persist in their charge, and it must be confessed, offer very strong evidence in supportof it. They do not lack the statistics to show that there has been some powerful influence manipulating the market for at least two years, suggesting a very close and shrewdly managed organization. At any rate, the matter is one of great importance, not alone to the raisers of ocattle, but to the consumers of beef, and if it can be demonstrated that there is a com- bine whose members have been en- riching themselves by tobbing both, any just and practicable way that can be devised for destroying the monopoly will have a universal popular sup- port. The St. Louis convention will bring the subject to national attention, and it may be expacted to furnish a great deal of information on the subject it will conside Besides this, it will doubtless recommend national and state legislation to meet the difficulty com- plained of. The proceedings of this convention will be regarded with very great and very general intorest. cods WHOEVE u ension Com- ‘missioner Black—and there is reported t0 bo a host of applicants for the posi- tion—should have something more than a good record as a soldier to recommend hini. He should possess exocllent busi- ness capacity, for the pension office is most essentially a place of business, and the demnands upon it still inc.onse from year to year. The testimony regarding General Black is, that so far as the administration of the office is concerned it has been most commendable. He intioduced a thorough method in the transaction of the business, both simplifying and expediting it, and the office has prob- ably never been in better shape than at vresent, This condition it is most de- sirable should be continued, for the peo- vle who are in large degree dependent upon the disbursements of the pension office require to be promptly and un- failingly cared for. The position of pension commissioner is a very import- antand a very difficult one, and great care should be taken to select a thor- oughly qualified man to fill it. Tur rush of land hunters to Dakota and Oklahoma is unprecedented. The proposed reduction of Indian re- servations and opening the country to settlement is attracting thousands of farmers and speculators from the east, even before the requisite steps have been taken by the government to place the land on the market. These move- ments bring into prominence the fact that the agricultural section of the pub- lic domain is practically exhausted. The millions of acres of land uselessly tied up for the benefit of the Indians cannot long withstand the encroach- ments of the whites. The Indians must sooner or later accept the severalty plan ana work for a living, or be over- whelmed by the grasping energy of the superior race, Tuoe Canadian parliament is consid- ering a bill to make larcony and em- bezzlement extraditable offenses, and there is said to be a very good chance of the measure becoming a law. In that event the United States will doubt- less be asked to conclude an extradi- tion treaty which shall include these offenses, and such a request from the Canadian government would be very lhikely to receive favorable attention from our government, while the Eng- lish government would hardly deny its American colony the privilege of de- munding persons guilty of these crimes who escaped to the United States. Re- ciprocity of this kind could not fail to operate to the advantage of both parties. Mg death of Congressman Town- shend, of Illinois, removes from the pub- lic service a man of sterling character and an unwavering champion of the peoplo’s rirhts. He was an aggressive opponent of monopoly and jobbery and a consistent defender of the weak against the strong. His death wili be sincerely regretted in the west.

Gilmore, of Gilmore & Runl—I think that Tre Ber couldn't doa better thing than advocate anything that will attract the atten- tion of and favorably impress strangers the moment they land in the city. There is no denying it, but our railroad facilities are of the most meagre and miserable character. Immediate improvement should be encoue- aged. Another momentous question Is ‘What are our prospects of becoming & railroad centre!’ All the roads terminating at Coun cil Bluffs should, by any moans within the scope of possibility, be brought to this city and landed in a depot that would prepossess all now arrivals at once. In the interest of manufacturers, geologists should be hired to g0 over the whole surface of the state and ascortain whether there are any outerop. din that would indicate that there is coal here. Omaha, it strikes me, however, must rely upon her commercial relations with the outside world to become a great city, T Ben is doing great worlk, and it is fully ap preciated by the publio. Mr. Kirkendall, of Kirkendall, Jones & Co.—It would be a dificult matior to sug- gost anything to Tk Bee, That paper is doing its full share of this commendablo work right along. Still, in my individual es- timation, the one desideratum is to make Omaha ' a railroad _center, instead of any strenuous efforts to induco the establishment of manufactories. Let Omaha bo recognized the distributing point for the vast’ country lying to our west, south and northwest, and industrial enter- prises will come, per force, for their own Dbest interests, This giving of bonuses is in- advisable, and is only asked i a large ma- {nrll.v of the cases, by establishments that havo about potered out in the east and need 1 also candidly believe, if the right parties are interested, such men ‘as Mr. Roscwater, for instance, and the proper backing secured, that the ' Manitoba railroad can be brought here. This would be a liae indepondent of those radiating from Chi- cago, and yet vested with power to make betwer rates to the east, to the great lakes and the northern lum- ber region. At Sioux Falls we would thus strike the great Manitoba system, which ramifies the whole wouderful grain region of the two Dakol ‘Where are Minneapolis’ superior facilities? The most of her mills have replaced their water power with steam, revivification. and the grain destined for the southern country ean be ground here as well as there. I know the whole business community would like to see Mr. Rosewater take hold of this mutter, because they have become accustomed to seeing his undertakings brought to a successful issue. [ would rather see connection made with the Mani- toba system than anything eise, and if it is not accomplished by Omaha, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sioux City will in- evitably do so, and thus command alarge share of the patronage of north- ern and western central Nebraska. We will start a large shoe manufactory here the moment these railroad facilitics are attained, and there will be others to come, many of them unsolicited and of their own free will, because they will be on the lookout for their own best interests. Mr. Kilpatrick, of the Kilpatrick-Koch Dry Goods Company,—I hardly know what to advise. But I want to mention one thing while it is in my mind., Idined with the president of the cattle trust last evenmng, and he told me_that the present legislature had passed a bili atthe present session prohib- iting non-residents from owning land in this state unless they become residents withinten years, Icould hardly believe it, but the gentleman’s information on the matter seemed full and reliable. “What if you,” “were shut out from owning prop- what would be the result? ch a law is ruinous, sui- cidal to the state's prospects for continued growth, advancement and prosperity. Now to best enhance Omaha’s chances for becom- ing the metropolis of the great west, ever thing that can possibly be done should be done to encourage tho railroads. 1f we treat the railroads harshly, then look out for re- taliatory measures—the denialof our longed- for union depot, for instance. I was one of a committee who waited upon Charles Francis Adams when he was here and he said to me that 1t was impossible to get any of the oustern capital listen to ti idea of spending any money in this western country, because they are afraid of the granger element, that they might pus i tions on them, such as have been inflicted in Towa. Iam greatly in favor of a new union depot and a right-of-way in and out of the city. A public bridge 18 essential, and the business men, railrouds and city should com- bine and build one, with the distinct under- standing that no road was to be shut out, that all were to have an equal showing at a moderate taxation.’ W. L. Selby—Why, let the ¢ity council and the newspapers quit quarreling and fighting among themselves, and, with the board of trade, Union club and real estate men, all pull together for everything that will help the city and encouraxe people to locato here. Strangers and non-residents are the ones we want to think welt of our city, and as long as they see our newspapers cutcring into school- y quarrcling and also publishing to the world every little misfortune that happens 1o the city, they come with an unfavorablo impression if they come at all, The board of trade, Union b and real estate dealers to help Omaba. Now, let the editors do th all help to build a city instead of trying to break each other down. Let the council become friendly with each oth id do all they can to encourage rapid transit to the suburbs, and strangers will come when they see they can own a nice home at a reasonable price. “There is a pood said he, real ost Our 1ld be encoturagod by friendly legislation, and I am ouly sorry it is not logal for our city to vote bouds to nid in the extension of such car lines and tobuild a free railroud bridge across the river, It surcly be of more benefit to the vity A0 t0 VoLe 8o much money grading strects away out in the corn ficlds. r.

But the groat father, or rather the secretary of war, disagreed with the conclusions of General Brooke and nbso. lutely declined to accept Mr. Clarke's liberal offer, Late advices from that Mr. Clarke Washington announce is on tho ground using his most persuasive eloquence to get the new secrotary of war to reverse the decision of the old scoretary of war. And in this patriotic and unsolfish effort Mr. Clarke is likely to succeed unless the business men and property owners of Omaha take prompt action and cater a lively protest against what General Crook, only two weeks ago, pronounced ‘cussed nonsense,” namely, the removal of Fort Omaba from its present accessible location PSP Use Angostura Bitters, the world re- uth American appetizer, of lavor.

Everything Did Not Pass Off in the Bost Manner. SCENES BEHIND THE SCENES, Events in the Senate—Confasion in the Rotunda—~What a Close Observer Saw and Heard, Notes By the Way. WasniNerox, March ial Corr spondence of Tir Brr.] -1t was about 11 o'clock whon the committes appointed to ifor with the presidont of the United States announced to the senate that ho had no further communication to make to con- gress. The Fiftioth congross had completed its work over a half an hour beforo the ro- quired time. Tho gallerios of the halls woro vacked to overflowing with people who filled the room with a murmuring confusion of audible conversation. All was in readi ness for the proliminary ccremonies of the inauguration of the next ideut of tho country. to tho partici pre The seats allotted pants and guests were arranged and waiting for their occupants, The first person who received spocial attention was the venorablo Hannibal Hamlin who had come in and taken his scat. His appearance was made (0o early 80 o left by the lobby door, roturning whe the others had entered, Time passed slowly but the hands of the clock were nearing 12. Then a ripple of laughter ran around the galleries as the old doorkeeper, Captain Basset, increased the time which must elapso’ before uoon. This was done manifestly without the notice of the senators while President Pro-tompore Ingalls deliberately held a large palm loaf fan before his face. Soon the diplomatic corps appeared re- splendent in its gold lace and variegated decorations, For a while they wero the center of attraction and busied ~thomselves in watehing the occupants of the galleries. The German minister, in particular, equippod with one eyeglass and a pair of opera glasses, put himself to considerable troublo in look- ing for pretty faces. The entrance of Mr. Blaine called forth applause, which_quickly subsided. That given to General Sherman, however, displayed much more cnthusiasm, but had 1o other effect than that ho slow arose and took off an old gray mufller that scomod to have accompanied bim on his march to the sea. Again the clock was turned buck and again the paim-leaf fan_hid the operation from the sight of the presiding officer. Mombers of the house dropped in singly or in groups and occasioned consider- able confusion before they became settlod. The justices of the supreme court entered, followed by the marshal and clerk, the latter carrying the bibie, bound in black morocco, upon which the oath was to be taken, Ex- Vice President Hamlin returned, made friendly gesture to the justices and shook hands with Justice Lamar, who had risen to receive him. Just as the president was an- nounced word was agam sent to have the clock turned back once more. While this was being done Mr. Ingalls staved blankly at the gallery, The president-clect and vice prosident- elect now came down the center aislo, ono after the other, each escorted by a m of the committée of arrangements. Kvery seat upon the floor was occupied except tho one reserved for Hon. George Bancroft. "This notable personage who had attended all the inaugurations from time immemorial, was conspicuous in his absence. Whon tho ceremonics began tho marshal of the supremo court took possession of the chair reserved for him, In tho gallery only the seats allot- ted to Mrs. Cleveland and the ladies of tho cabinet, wore vacant. The oath wag admin- istered to Mr. Morton standing at the loft of the vico prosident's chair. Mr. Tngalls, after oxpressing his thanks to the senate for the nonor conferred upon him, adjourncd that body withoult deiay, and handed the gavel to his succossor. During the prayer Mr. Mor- ton stoo ctly beside the desk. Mr. Har- rison ned upright with his hands folded behind his back, while Presi- dent Cleveland nervously shifted his weight from one foot to the other, and changed the position of his hands. The vice- president stepped behind the desk and de- livered his address. Either ho was deoply moved by the solemnity of the occasion or he was affected by what is commonly termed stage-fright, for he trembled and *faltered and in one place scomed to_have recalled the next word only with somo difiiculty. 1t was not until the lnst moment that it was decided that the installation of the presi- dent should tuke place upon the stand _out- side. Mr. Cloveland was said to have been indifferent in rogard to the place, while Har- rison said that he could brave tho weather if the people could. The procession to the plat- form began to move. Just outside the main entrance of the scnate it stopped to allow the rest to form. All went in order uatil the scnators started, Then amid general con- fusion, the diplomats and represcntatives began to rush forward, ench with the object of being first. At the door there wus i com- plete blockade. As the lino passed 1nto the rotunda, a crowd of spectators from the galleries, led _evidently by some one who was well acquainted witn the building, had passed through the senate document room down the stairs which led to the corridor, und now broke upon the procession, creating new confusion, At the door between tho rotunda and the platform another blockade cnsued us 5001 as the presidential party pussed. Many who now for the first time got a glimpse at the state of the weather, tried to turn back, and 0 brought on the crush. The rain oamo down in torronts, whilo the wind wafted the spray half way into the rotunda. ‘The plat- form was almost vacant. Ouly a small group gathered ubout the speakers' stand. The outgoing cabinet immediately turned around and departel, Searcely a word could be heard excopt by those unmediately in front of the stand. By some misunderstanding the ladies of the presidential party had beei left behind, and had to puss through the republican cloak room of the seuate in order to get into the corridor.
