From now on until the close of the season the probabilities are that Omaha will steadily increase her output.

NEW ENGLAND'S PROTEST. The voice of New England is being heard in no uncertain torms in opposi- tion to any legislation or regulation for curtailing the privileges and advantages accorded that section by the Canadian railronds. Much the greater part of the opinion elicited by the inter-state com- merce committeo in Boston showed that the very general sentiment throughout New England is against any measurs which would be avowedly prejudicial to the interests of the alien corporn- tions in their relations to Amer- ican traffic, While the railroads in the southern portion of New England are not generally uverse to the exclu- sion of Canadian competition or its reg- ulation under the inter-state act, the manufacturing and general business in- terests certainly are. The répresenta- tives of the Boston chamber of com- merce who appeared before the commit- tee made this emphatically clear, and a dolegation of leading business men of Portland, Maine, told the senators that that port could not and would not, with- out strong protest, be subjected to any regulations designed to dimin- ish inter-state traffic over the Canadian roads. Such a tourse, it was contended, would not only de- stroy the export trade of ‘both cities, but would impose such conditions upon manufacturers, merchants and the con- suming public in regard to trausporta- tion a8 to offectually handicap New England in its competition with other sections of the country. “‘The sitna- tion,” says the Springfield, Mass., Re- publican, *“is ns plain as the day. New England has no independent lino to the west. Cutoff or rostrict communica- tion by the way of Canada, and western trafiic flows to New York, Phiie- delphia and Baltimore, each of which cities has its own trunk line. The New England manufacturer or merchant has been cut off from his base of supplis he is surrounded on the one side by a hostile tariff and o the other hy con- quering vivals; he has been driven into a corner,” A policy that would produce these results New England will vigor- ously and firmly resist. The Boston Herald says: *‘If there is any spirit in our people they will almost to a man, r what threatens to be the first step toward the transformation of New Englana into a country virtually abandoned by trade, manufacture and commerce. The obvious fact is that every inter- est of New England depends for its prof- table existence upon the advantages which the Canadian roads afford. Port- land and Boston, as export points, would suffer immeasurably if these advan- tages yero cut off. The capital of tho former istoa great extent interested in the Grand Trunk’s extension to that city, and if deprivod of the bencfit ex- pected from this the millions of dollars invested 1n local enterprise will become unprofitable. Boston capital is largeiy placed in all the northern New Eng- land roads, and both manufacturers and merchants throughout the whole sec- tion are vitally interested in keeping open these ways of western communica- tion. Hence any attemptto choke up the channels of cheap communication with the west by way of Canada will not be submitted to without a struggle. In this New England will find a very hearty western sympathy, The com- mittee investigating our commercial relations with Canada find in thLe northwest & quite general and very carnest sentiment in oppo- sition to imposing restrictions upon Canadian railroads that would destroy their competition for American traffic. As to this matter it was shown that the interests of the producers and shippers of the northwest are identical with those ot the merchants and manufac- turers of New England, and the twosec- tions will undoubtedly be found stand- ing together in resistance to any prop- osition the effect of which would be to subject them to the absolute control of American trunk lines. The problem presents numerous difficulties that will not be easily overcome, A DEFIANT OFFICIAL. A brief dispatch from Denver, printed yesterday morning, announced that the Qepnty secretary of state had refused to deliver up the keys of the senate cham- ber to the grand jury, and that the jury had broken open the dosr with w crow- bar, There is perhaps no precedent for this occurrence in the history of the country, and behind it there is a story of corruption. From disclosures made by the Denver IRepublican it appears that the people of Colorado were very freely robbed by the last general as- sembly, and prominent among the steals were the expenditurcs for furniture and stationery. One firm received over twenty thousand dollars for furniture, and it was pro- posed toascartain whether this furniture was still in the possession of the state and stored, as it was supposed to be, in the senate chamber. The grand jury of the criminal court was instructed to make the investigation, and the deputy and acting secretary of state was di- rected to produce the key to the senate chamber. This he refused to do and was fined for contempt of court, being’ at the same time warned that if he con- tinued to disregard the mandate of the court he would be committed to prison. This, however, had no offect upon the defiant official, and acting under the instructions of the court the grand jury forced an entrance into the senate chamber. The inference [rom the action of the deputy secretary of state must be that he was endeavoring to conceal corrup- tion of which he knew, and there is stronger reason for this inference in the fact that he was sustained in his contumacious course by the attorney general, It is not to be supposed for a moment that these state offi- cials would have resisted the au- thority of the court if there was nothing they feared to have the grand jury investigate., There 8 no in- formation at hand as to what discoveries the jury made, but in any event the conduct of the officials convicts them of a guilty knowledge in which it is by no means unlikely they were personally in- volved, Cloean-handed wen, without kuowlodge of any wrong, would not thus have thrown themselves in the way of an obviously legitiraate investi- gation judicially fordered. Anothor bad feature of this bad business is that a United States senator, who owes his election to the last meral assembly of Colorado, defended the deflant official. This matter was not necessary 1o sup- ply e¥idence to the people of Colorado of the corrupt practices of their publio oficials, but it ought to have the effoct of arousing them to a sense of the danger that must result from permit- ting 80 bold and persistent a deflance of the judicial authority to go unrabuked. The courts are the bulwark of the rights and liberty of the people, their protec- tion against wrong and abuse, When public officials, sworn to obey the laws, combine to thwart the legitimate exer- ciso of judicial authority made in the poople’s interest, the situation becomes serious. BLUNDER OF THE BRUISERS. Sullivan and his friends made a ser- ious mistake in remuining so long on southern soil. Their policy was to have got to a place of safety—Boston, for ex- amplo—as soon as possible after the fight and kept quiet for a time, They ought to have seen that Governor Lowry was bound to pursue them if he was permit- ted to know their whereabouts. Self- vespect and the dignity of his office re- quired this, T'hey ought to have under- stood, also, that the reward offered for their apprehension would induce hun- dreds to give information as to their whereabouts. But their success in gotting through with the fight doubt- less made them thoughtless of possibie aftor-consequences, and thoy may have concluded that Governor Lowry dian’t really mean anything. At any rate Sullivan and his backers were bagged at Nash- ville, and it is altogether probable they wiil be returned to Mi ippi and re- ceive somo sort of punishment. Pro- vision has also been made for the cap- ture of Kilrain, and it would be inter- esting if the sluggers were again brought togetlier in a Mississippi court of justice andrequired to *do time™ for afew months in a Mississippi jail. Such asequel to the fight would cause no general rogret, and the example would hardly fail to be heneficial, but so far as the governor of Mississippi isconcerned his failure to prevent the fight taking place in that state, after making so much bluster, deprives his subsequent proceedings of any glory. Meantime Mr. Sulli will have again learned that an ordinary everyday policeman, with the law at his bac! more than a match fon the world’s. champion pugilist. TuEe dificulty of taxing bonds. notes and money at interest in the hands of individuals is_a problem which per- plexes not alone Nebraska, but the great money loaning states of the east. The legislature of Connecticut has just passed a law to correct, if possible, this tax-shirking. Ouly eleven millions of bonds, notes, mortgages and other se- curities of like nature are returned for taxation in that state, while it is well kunown that hundreds of millions in- vested in these forms of security wholly escape tax assessment. - This is a seri- ous nbuse and the new law provides that any holder of such securities may take them to the state treasurer and pay a ax at the rate of two mills per annum for any length of time ho desires. The securities are then registered and en- dorsed by the treasurer with a cortifi- cate of the amount paid and the period for which they are free from taxation. As asort of a bonus for doing this, the holder of such securities is exempt from all local tax on them. Thisis cer- tainly a most liberal inducement. Connectieut. knowing full well the dif- ficulty of reaching these forms of secur- ities, is apparently well enough satisfled to accept half a loaf to no loaf at all, IN the construction of the section of the state banking law relative tothe amount of real estate a bank can carry, Attorney General Leese has. given a clear exposition of what the law in- tends. The real estate which a bank may list as part of its property and se- curity for the protection of its credit- ors refers alone to the bank building and lot upon which it stands, and its value caunot exceed more than one third of the capi of the bank. It is notorious that banks through the state have heretofore listed as part capital property other than the bank site at fietitious values, Under the attorney general’s ruling this can no longer be done. The law contemplates banking with mouney or commercial paper, and notwith real estate. Consequently that bank which reported among its assets a millinery store and a barver shop will e obliged to modity its securities into something moro convertible than spring bonnets and razors before it will be al- lowed to receive deposits and make loans with other people’s money. —ee ONE thing has been demonstrated by recent experiments in Omaha journai- ism, and that is that you can not make both ends meet so long as you give away your papers and your advertising. This is by no means a new oxperience. The same efforts to boom by the give- away process, or what is tantamount, the selling of papers below cost of pro- duction, have had the same results in other cities. The leading Minne- apolis daily last year lost nearly one thousand dollars a week, and the most popular St. Paul paper has succeeded in increasing its circulation by the give-away process until its own- ers have been brought to the verge of ruin, The laws of trade are the same for newpapers and mercantile houses. You can’t sell five-cent calico at three cents & yard all the year round without going to the wall, ——— MCQUADE, one of the notorious boodle aldermen, is on trial for the third time. There is very little hope, however, of & conviction. McQuade was convicted on his second trial three yoars ago, but after serving a year and @ half at Sing Sing he was released on a technicality, and since then he has lived a free man under bail, It is well suspected that Prosecuting Attorney Fellows is lukewarm iu his attempt to mete out justice. Outof the bateh of twenty-one aldermen indicted, only two are in the penitentiary, From begin- ning to oad this boodle case has been mwhedly,hnndlsd and made a farce. New York hasnothing to be proud of in the prosecution of hor boodle gang, and makes a pobrwhowing as compared with the energy'tind persevorance displayed by her courtd and officials in leveling Boss Tweed and his ring in the dust. THIS is & great senson for woman’s rights, prohibition and reform cranks. The constitutional conventions now being held in the new states afford abundant oppottunities for them to air their visiorfavy schemes, and they are doing it with & will and pardonable en- thusiasm, PLE who contemplate doing any thing out of the usual routine of daily life will do well to consult the ordinande on misdemennors before going too far. ‘What you are about to do- may have be- come a punishable offence since you last considered the matter.

Washington Post, A Pennsylvania man bought alot of old tinware for 15 cents at an auction sale the other day and found 198 silver dollars in one of the rusted coffee pots. Is it not an evi- dence of the eternal cussedness of inanimato things that just as the men folks of this country begin to_ think they have succeeded in convincing the women folks that auctions do not offer bargains, some such case as this bobs iuto being und overthrows in a Jifly the logic of the years., UL S TRIBUTES TO ENTERPRISE. Genius and Energy Rewarded. Curtis Courier. Omaha is a mopument of western great- ness. The city is an aggregation of scenic beauty, commercial greatness and unusual individual merit. © A decade of years have vied with each other to mark her increasing commercial supreniacy. Eiehteen hundred ana cighty-nine, however, marks an era in her history that in one line establishes her’ record as sacond to none, and just so long as that monument of a successful business en- terprise shall rear aloft ils massive walls of iron, stone gnd brick, so symmetrically blended in Tur Bek building, just so long shall the name of its founaer and makor, Edward Rosewater, and his great news- paper, Tue OMauA BEE, be remembered by an appreciative public.

The opening of the new Bre building, at Omaha, was not only & aotable event in the lstory of that city, -but is looked upon by the newspaper fraternity of the continent as & master stroke of enterprise, Under the direct supervision of Edward Rosewater, the ambitious and untiring editor of Tue Bes, this magnificent structure has assumod proportions which entitles it to the name of ‘the largest fireproof newspaper office in America,” the mawmoth building occupied by the New York Tribune ot excepted, The stately pile represents an expenditure of §440,000, or nearly half a milJion of money. In architectural - peauty, in convenience, in in thoroughness of bonstruction, there is no room to doubt thht{t is asncar the point of perfection as modery skill can approach, The west may;well applaud the plucky man who nas dared to erect such a monu- ment to western progress and western ideas of greatnoss. . ———— THE INDUSTRIAL FIELD, Chicago has 40,600 people out of work, Pennsylvania has, 6,000 furniture mills, ana the 62,000 werkmen make $58,000,000 worth, Tho bolt and niilippkers have a trust, and buy out those who do not join it.

The attorney goneral to-dny received a petition numerously signed by Nisbrara and Knox county citizens, praving that suit be instituted at once to dissolve the articles of incorporation of the Chicago, Milwaukeo & St. Paul railroad company. The potition sots forth that the railroad com- pauy cited incorporated during the fall of 1880 for the purpose of building a railroad from Niobrara, Knox county, to Atkinson, Holt county; that the company secured a right-of-way and graded _thetr hne Irom o poiut nearNiobrara to Verdigris: that the company has failed to bridge, tie and iron the bed and tinish_the road as indicated and agreod upon; that this 1s to the dumago and detriment of the conutry through which the contemp road passes, and lkeeps out competing lines of road. 1t would seem from this that there is another paper raflroad whic must fish or cut bait, for the attorney gen- oral expects to make'a move in the maiter. Court Houso Bonds. Adams county people ara in a stew, and it would seom that there is noeasy way for them to shft the trouble they are evidently in. ‘The action of the board of educational lands and funds in passing tha resolution prohibiting the state's purchasing court louse bonas, secured and registered under the new law and cited by Tue BEE this morning, will doubtless give thew salo a black oye on any market, notwithstanding thewr legal registration. This viow of the ‘mutter, at least, is taken in_financial circles throughout the ' city as well as umong law- yers generaliy. The view is also supported by the fact that cases now pend be- fore tho supreme court touching upon the constitutionality of the new law. The lawyers ure not few whi s tho oven opinion that it is clearly nstitutionat. The attorney genoral also seems to sharo this conviction, although he has been re- ported as having expressed himself to tho contrary. He declined to give Tnx Bee representative his reason for this, choos- ing to give the authorities a.moro rigid ox- amination before cxpressing himself further. He said, however, that he thought thero was alamo spot in the law that would over- throw it. 1t nas boen reported that the Butler county bonds were purchased by the stato, but this is not true. It is true, howover, that they woro negotiated, and 'the state agreed to talo them, but when the law becamo a con- troversial question, an_ordor wa8 promptly made by the bourd' that stopped the deal, “Make it plain,’ said a momber of tho boara of educational lands and funds, “that the purpose of the resolution passed yester- day was not to injure any locality or county, but to insure the protection of the school funds of the state. This we, as & board, & in duty bound to'do, it mafters not where the shoe pinches.” Notarial Appointments. Governor Thayer to-day appointed the fol- lowing Nebraskans notaries public: Georgo W.

Fortified as Legitime is, he is too_strong to be taken by Ilippolyte and the latter doos not dare to advance and risk a_ battle. Port-au-Prince presents a most filthy ap- pearance. The defeat of Hippolyte appears to be out of the question. It is rumored as coming from a high_authority thut arbitra. tion is to bo resorted to; that the leaders re- alizo it is the only means by which tho poo- ple can be saved from u calamity, and that both Hippolyte and Legitime favor it.
