PoLicE smmucs covering the Sun- day closing period in Omaha present an interesting studg. Tie Now York assembly dofeated the 1ocal ment inspection bill, and the people of that state will continue to be supplied with the choicest cuts of dressed beef the western markets afford. BETWEEN dining and wining at the houses of the German and English legations, the American delegates to the Sgmoan conference at Berlin are provilg themselves diplomats of no mean order. IR it should provu true after all that Montana went democratic at the elec- tion for delegates to the constitutional convention, it would be a rude awaken- ing shock to the over confident republi- cans of the territory. THe Wabash system which was knocked down for tifteen millions five hundred thousand dollars at forced sale carries a debt of one hundred and eighteen millions. No wonder such straws broke the camel’s back. —— JEFFERSON square is now under the care and control of the park commis- sion. If the board would expend fifteen or twenty thousand dollars in improv- ing it the square can be converted into one of the most beautiful and attractive spots in Omaha. Tug United States will spend a sum approximating four hundred millions for the tiscal year 1889-90, butas the estimated revenues for the same period are four hundred and thirty-five mil- lions, there will be no necessity of Secretary Windom lying awake nights ko plan how to make both ends meet. STATISTICS of the packing industry of the west for the past week and pre- ceding weeks, is the best possible ar- gument in favor of a thorough reorgan- Ization of the South Omaha stock yards. _The decreased receipts call fora revi- val of the activity and enterprise which sharacterized the business last year. ‘Tag people of Illinois have a warm spot in their hearts for John A. Logan. The appropriation of fifty thousand dol- lars just voted by the legislature will pnable them to testify theiwr affection . by the erection of a grand monument to the forcmost volunteer soldier of the war. THE strike among the coal miners of Germany is assuming &' serious aspect due to the large numbers involved. If not spoedily settled it is likely to per- cipvitate a social as well as industrial orisis. That may explain the anxiety of the government to arbitrate the diffi- culties between the owners and the miners. Ee————— SHIP-BUILDING is likely to become an lmportant industry during the next few years. The eleven ships-of-war au- thorized by congress are being let to sontractors as rapidly as the plans and details of each cruiser are accepted by the war department. Within the next eight or ten years America will have a navy which will compare favorably with the best vessels of other nations, —_— KansAs Crry is importuning the legislature of Missouri to pass a park bill for her benefit. It is proposed to set aside thirty per centof the annual revenues derived from saloon licenses, which would be ample for the purpose. Theve is opposition to the project, how- , ever, and it would excite little surprise if the bill failed to pass. Of all the pretentious oities of the country, Kan- #as City is undoubtedly th e poorest sup- plied with parks. ‘Wi ARE pleased to note that the Re- publican hasat last reached a couclu- sion with regard to the Fort Omaha re- moval scheme, which Tine BEk bad ar- rived at years ago, It has taken fifteen years to beautafy the present fort with shade trees and lawns. The govern- ment has expeuded thousands upon thousands of dollars for perma- pent buildiogs, drainage, grading and waterworks., The fort is conven- iently situated and large enough for all the troops that will ever be stationed here, To abandon it would, in the language of General Crook, be *‘cussed sonsense.” DOESN'T WANT REFORM. Governor Hill, of New 3 ork, would not be the good and faithful demoorat that he is, enjoying the admiration of a very large element of his party, if he were anxious to promote ballot reform in that state, where more that any- whero else it isneeded. There is noth- ing surprising, therefore, in his having vetoed the ballot reform bill which passed the legislature recontly. He ve- toed such a measure last year, winning thereby the approval and endorsement of the New York democracy, and although the measure he has just disapproved was framed to avold some of the objections he urged against the former measure, he seems to have found little difficulty in conjuring uprobjections to the last bill sufficient to give him an excuse for vetoing it. No one needs to be told that such a task is never a ve hard one. A shrewd political lawyer can al- ways find a plausible way to condemn what it is not convenient or desirable for him t approve, and no one is keener at thig sort of thing than Goy- ernor Hill. The Saxton ballot reform bill was doubtless not without objectionable foatures, but it is not questionable that it would have accomplished a great deal toward preventing fraud and corruption in New York elections. Its operation in the city of New York would un- doubtedly have becn especially salu- tary, and no one will pretend that re- form is not most urgently needed thero. But this is the particular necessity that Governor Hill does not want to provide for. There is the Gibraltar of democ- racy in the state of New York, main- tained and lkept imprognable largely by fraud and corruption. Reform that would compel New York city to cast an honest vote would mean the loss of thousands to the democratic strength there, thereby greatly reducing the ohances of the party ever carrying the state. Such re- form would destroy the trade of the democratic tricksters and cor- ruptionists, and would deprive Tam- many of a large part of its usofulness. It 15 upon these aids and supports that Governor Hill has relied for his political success in the past and must depend for whatever he hopes to achieve in the future. He will be true to them as long as they are faithful to him. But Governor Hill is no worse than his party, or at least than the dominant element of it in New York. It does not want ballot reform, and in defeating the attempts of a republican legis- lature to secure it the governor has simply complied with the will of a vast majority of his party. Had he done otherwise he might have received the approval of a small and inconsequent fraction of the party, but he would have lost the support of all the rest, and as an aspiring politician he stays with the crowd. The simpla conclusion is that there will be no ballot reform in New York while Hill remains governor, or until the republican party shall again secura the control of both the exacutive and legislative branches of the govern- ment. «DEFENSELE SAN FRANCISCO. The testimony given by General Miles before the senate committee at San Francisco regarding the defense- less condition of that city has aroused an extraordinary degree of intorest in the subject among the press and people there. General Miles told the commit- tee that one of the modern ships of war, armed with long-range cannon, could lie outside the harbor altogether and drop shells right into the heart of San Francisco, This opinion has been fortified by the published views of a number of persons who are referred to by the nowspapers as having expert knowledge in such matters, and the press is contributing its share of editorial opinion to the agitation in favor of a thorough system of defenses, which, General Miles says, can be se- cured ata cost not to exceed twenty- five million dollars. The fact that San Francisco is at the mercy of any third- rate naval power in the world was pointed out, a year or more ago, by Admiral Porter, and perhaps others, and had congress made provision for defenses elsewhere, doubtless that city would have been considered, but the matter of providing adequate coast de- fenses was postponed. Meantime, noth- ing has occurred to increase the ur- gency for such provision,while progress has been made with inventions that are expected to render unnecessary any such defensive works as General Miles doubtless contemplated *when he esti- mated the cost of defenses for San Fran- cisco at twenty-five million dollars, It is admitted that the harbor there is one of the easiest in the world to de- fend, and with a sufficient supply of theé terribly destructive dynamite guns planted at defensive points, and the inlet to the harbor well sown with dy- namite torpedoes, San Francisco could be protected against al- most any naval force at a cost, per- haps, not exceeding one-fifth of the estimate of General Miles. There is no immediate danger threatening that city, and if none should arise dur- ing the next two or three years, as un- doubtedly there will not, the govern- ment will be in a position to provide all the defense ever likely to be required at a comparatively small outlay, while it will also have an effective navy able to cope with the best on the sea. Saun Franciscans may, therefore, dismiss their approhensions and reassure them- selves. Their city has not been more neglected in the matter of defenses than other seaports which are quite as vulnerable, but the time is not far off when all will be adequately protected. Eme————— CAN WE AFFORD I17 Can Omaha afford to vote down all the school bond propositions next Saturday? That question forces itsell upon every voter who has the welfare of this city at heart. The most effective card Omuha has played in attracting cultured people from the population-centres of the east has been the truthful boast that this city possesses commo- dious public school facilities, as well as an unrivaled school system? Can we afford to advertise to the world thut Omaha is on the down grude and no longer in condition to provide school houses for her rapidly-increasing population? ‘What is to be done next winter with soveral thousand sechool children who are unprovided for? How are we going to diseriminate as between one class of citizens and another in as- signing their childrén to or excluding them from the present school houses? ‘We have packed all the school house basements and garrets to their utmost capacity. The school board has rented a dozen tinder-boxes that are utterly unfit for school purposes. Can we afford to have it go abroad that several thousand children of school age are roaming abouv the city because we have not school houses enough to accommodate them? Tie BEr says, most emphatically, no. The hue and cry about high taxation whiich is raised by some of our papers, is not sincere. Most of the men who made these appeals to vote down the bonds have never paid a dollar of tax and are never likely to pay a dollar. We have reason to believe that there is a sinister purpose in this orgamzed effort to stop sehool house building. The main- spring of the onslaught is shown by a German paper which appeals to all liberal-minded and free-thinking peo- ple to vote down the school bonds as a rebuke to Mayor Broatch and the fanat- ical prohibition crew. The natural in- fercnce is that in crippling our schools, the Sunday observers will receive a black eye. Now what has prohibition or the mayor’s Sunday-closing order todo with providing school houses for Omaha? The only rational objection to the wissue of school bonds is the evtravagance of the school board and its tendency to promote jobs. That can be readily checked without beating the bonds. Kive of the fifteen members of the board can be retired at the June election if the people have no confi- dence in them. This remedy can be applied without crippling our school system. Even if this remedy was out of reach we could not afford to vote down the school bond: FIGHTING A TRUST. The cotton planters of the south have shown great determination in their fight against the jute trust, and with results that promise them a signal vie- tory. The contest was inaugurated last year, but the planters were not then well organized for it, and accomplished little against the combination. This year, however, warned by the threats of the trust, the alliance took time by the forelock and adopted a programme that will cause the combination no little trouble, even if it does not drive it to the wall. The planters of Georgia, South Caro- lina and have agreed to take six mllhon yards of cot- ton bagging, and while this amount is only a small part of what the planters of the south will require, even if the planters of no other cotton states were to move in the matter, the loss to the jute trust would be so serious as to very badly damage it. But such is the feel- ing among the planters that it is be- lieved they will all fall into line, in which case the days of the combination are numbered. It is stated that the members of the planters’ alliancdhre pledged not to buy jute bagging on any terms, the determination being to de- stroy the trust, if possible. If this policy is adherad to, and there is every likelihood that it will be, the country is pretty cértain to have an example of what may be accomplished by the united action of consumers unger certain cir- cumstances against monopoly. The Atlanta Constitution says of this movement that it is more far-reaching than any attempt to break up the jute trust could be. It contemplates happier results than the mere breaking-up of a jute-bagging combine. It contemplates the creation of a new market for the lower grades of cotton which will be used in the manufacture of bagging, and it will in fact give to the south a new industry. The spirit shown by the southern planters is worthy of emula- tion in all cases where it is practicable to make a stand against the exactions of a trust. THE PLUMBERS' SIRIKE. The master plumbers of Omaha have precipitated a strike that i3 liable to spread and affect all the other building trades. This is to be deplored, not only because it will seriously embarrass par- ties who are engaged in building but because it is also liable to cripple the workingmen and affect the trades peo- ple of Omaha who are dealing with working people. The master plumbers had a right to organize a union for mutual advantage. They have a right to agree among themselves on what condivions they will carry on their business, fix uniform rates for material, and service, and devise projects that would prove beneficial to the associa- tion and its members. But if it is proper ior master plumbers to establish and maintain a union it is unreasonable to claim that the journey- men plumbers have no right to unite for their common welfare. Men may differ as to the rights and wrongs of trades’ unionism, but trades-unions can- not safely be ignored as a factor in carrying on building operations. When the master plumbers is- sued their manifesto early this spring, that they would not recognize the journeymen’s union, and served notice upon the journeymen plumbers which was tantamount to an order to dissolve connection with their union, they deliberately provoked a feud that was sure to end in a strike. ‘When they capped the climax by medi- tating a lock-outof all plumbers who would not abandon their union, they drove their journeymen ioto a.walk- out. There may have been unreasonable demands made by the journeymen plumbers, and they may have attempted to establish rules that would be burden- some to their employers, but these dif- ferences botween ewployer aud em- ploye could and should have beeun ami- cably adjusted. The position in which the master plumbers have placed themselves forced the fight from the outset, and makes them whollyf l‘puponslble for its conse- quences. It is the ‘hb\ght of folly and arro- gance for thim to insist that they may band together: for their own profit, not only against their employes but against their patrons, and insist that mechanics must not orglinize to check the rapacity of cupital, Iy At this day it is out.cf question for men engagéd. in building trades to ignore labor {thions and refuse to deal with them or'dtbitrate with them. The master plunibérs have a perfect right to hire or discharge workmen, but thoy cannot cope with organized labor so long as they insist that unions must be crushed out. Unless the master olumbers exhibit aspirit of conciliation and a disposition to adjust their differ- ences through the journeymen’s union. we are liable to have n general strike in all the building trades. Tie death of Allen Thorndyke Rice, just as ho was preparing to depart for Europe to assume his duties as minister to Russia, will be generally and sin- rogrotted. Mr. Rice was not widely known to the people of the coun- , and, outside of literary and journal- istic circles, doubtless, very few had heard of him before his appointment to the Russian mission, but to the extent that he was known he was respected for s scholarly attainments and literary ability, As editor of the North Ameri- can Ieview for a number of years, he maintained that magazine in the front rank of publications of its kind and gained for himself a position of prominence among men of lotters. He was not a politician in the practical sense, but he took a ver, tive interest in political affairs and did good servic for tho republican party within the range of his opportunities. His ap- pointment as minister to Russia was somowhat of a surprise, and is generally understood to have been a concession to the wishes of Mr. Blaine, but it was never doubted that he would represent the United ates acceptably at the court of the THE negotiations for the opening and sale of tho Cherokee strip, are likely to drag for some time before an agrae- ment will be reached.

Tho attendance at the closing session of the state pharmacentical convention was much larger than on the previous days, and some important business was transacted. Presidont Shrirck called the convention to order promptly at 10 o'clock this morning. After aisposing of the regular routine work, the following members were admitted to membership in the association: J. M. Stod dard, Benediet, Fred Boyden, Revenna, and 0. P. Goodman, Omaha. J. Ravenna then moved a reconsidoration of the vote whereby the association had put itself on record as opposed to a national pharmacy law. Upon reflection, he stated that he thoughta gencral law would ac complish a good many things which, under thestate laws, it would be impossivle to bring about. M. Shultz, of Beatrice, vigorously opposed the motion. After some dobate, however, it carried, and a general discussion ensued. The matter was finally roferred to the delegates to the next conven- tion of the national association. The sceretary announced that a check for $25 from Eli Lilly & Co., of New York, had been received to assist in defraying the ox- penses, and a vote of thanks was immediately tendered to the donor The names of J.
