How would it do to have a procession of Omaha millionaires during this week? VISITING merchants should not neg- lect to inspect the South Omaha pork and beef industries. THE labor day purade was an unquali- fled success, and reflected credit on the managers and marshals. THE Omaha street railway company has extended the transfer check system. It is a move in the right direction. AMERICA pays $25,000,000 a year for baking powder. Nothing more is needed go prove that this is a rising nation. . IF General Greely has any sort of consideration for his old Omaha home . Iriends he will give us good weather this week. THERE willbe no dearth of amuse- iments in Omaha during the week, a fact which the visitors to the ecity will not fail to appreciste. NEITHER the millionaires of New York or Chicago are in a hurry to go down into their pockets to subscribe Stock to the world’s fair exposition. THE recent war in Hayti consumed 810,000,000 of money and 400 men. This statoment would not indicate any very greatamountof personal bravery among -the eombatants, BUILDING permits to the value of three million dollars have been issued ‘in Omaha since the beginning of the year, It is safe to predict that the record will reach five million dollars before the end of December. STRAMSHIPS first croseed the Atlantic ocean in 1838 and the trip took nineteen days from England to New York. The passage was made last week by the City of Parisin five days nineteen hours and eighteen minutes. This shows a won- derful progress in steam navigation in the past fifty years. McCOoOK, in this state, will hold a re- union of soldiers and sailors October 9, 10, 11 and 12, and accommodations will be provided for at least ten thousand veople. Governor Thayer and ex-Gov- ernor Oglesby, of Illinois, will be pres- ent. McCook is one of Nebraska’s most progressive towns, and its public spirit in attracting so large a gathering within its limits evidences the cus- tomary Nebraska idea of getting to the {ront. 5 — WEeSTERN Colorado bas been very anxious for the past few months to have the Utes removed from the state. ‘Whenever these Indians are seen off sheir reservation, even with the author- ity of their agent, an Indian scare 1s manufactured in order to excite public opinion against them. Such action, however. is not likely to create a favorable opinion in behalf of the set- tlers with the interior department. Colorado, at any rate, should be in bet- ter business than to cry “Wolf” when there is no cause for it, If the removal of “the Indians is desired, it should be brought about in a legitimate way. WE huve received a letter from Mr. C. A, Robbins in which he challenges us to print replies from various county judges in Kansas who assure him that prohibition is not a failure. We should have complied with this request haa Mr, Robbins observed the usual courtesy due any newspaper and sent his letter direct to Tae BEE instead of sending it to other newspapers without giving usan opportunity to print it first, Although addressed to the editor of THE BEE, the letter was printed in other papers. THE BEE has always been willing to print both sides of any 1ssue upon any ques- tion, reserving to itself the privilege of expressing its own views and conclu- sions in regard to the merits of any cantroversy, Of course, we will not sllow this paper to be flooded with any oue ism, and would be cowmpelled at all times to restrict discussions within reas- onable (imits. Now that Mr. Robbins has seen fit to send his letter to other newspapers fivst we deem it unneces- sary to play second fiddle, GRIEVANCES OF FARMERS. The farmors ave this year more ag- gressive than ever before in giving ox- pression to their grievances and soek- ing methods to relieve them. In al- most every state of the union the farm- ers’ organizationg are actively engaged in formulating plans to combat what they claim to be discriminations against their interests, the tendency eve where being to antagonize the combi- nations and trusts, to which they charge their difficulties, with combinations of their own. The development of this move- ment, which in its wido scope and groat importance is of national concern, has been very marked in the southern statos. A couple of weeks ago there was held at Montgomery, Al farm- ers’ congress, in which a dozen south- ern states were represented. The ad- dress of the president of this congress demanded the same protection for the products of the farm as is oxtended to the products of any other class of pro- «ducers, and declared that the farming interests have boen made the holpless vietims of monopoiistic conspiracies, and been filched of the earninge and profits of their honest labor. This congress marked an important stage in the progress of agricultural combina- tion. More recently there have been conventions of farmers’ aliiances in a number of the states of the south, all of which have followed the general lines laid down by the congress. The result i a general expression in favor of the consolidation of the Southera Inter- State Farmers’ alliance with the organ- ization known as the Wheel, the Farmers’ union, and the Union Labor organization, the consoli- dated union to be known as the Farmers’ and Laborers' Union of America. This organization, which will represent a membership of ov er one million, will hold a convention at St. Louis next December, when it is hoped there .will unite with it the Farmers’ Alliance of the northwest and the Farmers’ Benefit association, which would swell the membership to three millions, This combination of the farmers of the south has reference pri- marily to the control of the cotton crop, and how thisis to be done isindicated in a resolution adopted by the cotton com- mittee of the inter-state alliance, which recommends that the farmers of the south sell no cotton during the month of September, except what may be absolutely necessary to meet obliga~ tions past due, while the Georgia alliance hgs asked the alliances of all the cotton states to make twelve and one-half cents the minimum price at which cotton shall be sold. Thus the farmers of the south propose to vestrict the sales and raisé the price of cotton, a policy exactly in line with that of the trusts which they condemn. Of equal interest with this movement i the south is that of the Farmers’ Federation of the Mississippi valley. This organization, which is a joint stock company, will hold a convention in St. Louis in October, the objeet being to institute a plan “‘to remedy the present expensive mode of marketing farm pro- ducts that now have to pass through gateways and pay tolls to ele- vators and stock yard companies, and enormous sums to commission meun for going through the mere form of sell- ing.” The statement is made that the farmers of the northwest are paying three million dollars annually in ele- vator and stock yard charges and ten millions 1n commissions for selling, and it isclaimed that by the plan proposed by this organization the farmers can save in, the matter of commissions nine million dollars annually. This plan is to “get mnearer the consumers by dis- placing ninety per cent of the commis- sion men, and then, by one of the latent powers of the organization, to wipe out ninety per cent of the retail men.” There is promised as a result of this ex- periment “‘a marked improvement in prices and a vrevolution in the present costly methods of busi- ness.” At a recent meeting of the stockholders of this organization a res- olution was adopted advising the farm- ers of the northwestern states and territories to hold their wheat off the market until after the meeting of the convention, *‘unless such prices shall be offered as will justify a reasonable profit over and above the cost of pro- duction, or one dollar per bushel.” These movements show a part, and the most serious part, of the grievances of which the farmers of the country now complain. They are interesting and important, but the question as to their wisdom can be answered only by results. Meanwhile their progress will be re- garded with general curiosity and concern, since they must affect more or less a greas variety of interests, and may exert, also, a degree of influence upon politics. e———— A UNIFORM BANKRUPICY LAW. A national convention of representa- tives of the commercial bodies of the United States will meet at Minneapolis to-day to discuss a national bankruptey law which they will endeavor to have adopted by congress. The movements in favor of such a law have hitherto come from the mercantile centers of the east, and have not met with very great encouragement elsewhere. Now the initiative haa been uaken in the west, meetings of commercial bodies having already been held in St. Louis and Milwaukee to pro- mote an active and general effort througout the country to influence the next congress to pass a uniform bank- ruptey law. Such a measure was be- fore the last congress, but it did not reach a vote. The last national bankruptoy law was chiefly objectionuble because of the ex- travagance of its administeation. Offi- cial costs frequently consumed the as- sets of 1nsolvent debtors, leaving nothing for creditors, and the demand for the repeal of the law be- came general. The bill reported in the last congress guarded against this abuse, as does the draft of a law made by the committee appointed at the convention held in St. Louis last March. This proposed law, which may take the place of the bill before the last congress, limits the costs and fees, so that it would be impossible under its operation to repeat the prac- tices which provoked so much hostility to the former law. Tt is free, aleo, from other serious defects of the former law, and provides for greater expedition in settling ocases in bankruptey. Its framers have sought to secure exact justice to creditors and honest debtors, without imposing undue hard- ships upon the latter. There has been a steady growth of sentiment for several years in mercan- tile circles in favor of a new law, and this has become quite as pronounced in the west as in the east. The ennctment of a national bankruptey law is advo- cnted on the ground that it is due cred- itors entitled to a just share of the bankrupt’s assets, and due the bankrupt himsell, who is crippled by unadjusted claims holding against him, and prevented from beginning anew and repairing his broken fortunes. Many honorable, enterpris- ing, but unfortunate men, are thus hindered from again becoming pros- perous and useful citizens. Party spirit in congress has been largely responsible for the failure to pass a bankruptey law since the last one was repealed, but with the republicans in control of the next congress a favorable result is con- fidently oxvected by the advocates of a new law. ARMY PROMOTIONS. There is a demand for reform in the system of army promotions. The Wash- ington correspondent of the Phila- delphia Ledger calls attention to the anomalous system under which pro- motions in the army are made,and cites some striking illustrations of the re- sultant injustice so far as subaltern officers are concerned. Promotion to the grades of major, lieutenant colonel and colonel is made according to lineal rank, while to the grades of first lieu- tenant and captain promotion is entirely regimental and con- fined to the corps to which the officer belongs. This makes the pro- motion of subalterns exceedingly slow. The correspondent notes & conspicu- ous example of the working of this sys- tem in the case of a first lieutenant who recently was promoted to a captaincy after a continuous service of twenty- two years in his regiment as a lieuten- ant. He eritered the regular from the volunteer service as a second lieuten- ant of cavalry, and in 1869 was promoted to first lieutenant. He became a cap- tain on the twentieth of Iast mouth. In the meantime it is stated that one hundred men have entered the cav- alry service and been promoted over him, the army register to-day bearing the names of sixty-five captains of cay- alry who were below him on the list of second lieutenants in 1867. This appears not to be an isolated case. The senior lieutenant of the Tenth cavalry graduated from West Point in 1869, and in the Seventh cavalry there are three second lieutenants who graduated at the academy in 1877, while cadets who graduated in 1883 are first lieuten- ants. Other facts are given in evidence of the injustice resulting from the preyailing system of promotion, under which some officers are advanced to a captaincy in a few years while others are compelled to wait half a lifetime for the promotion. Obviously such a system cannot but be harmful to the morale of thearmy in begetting dissatisfaction amd conse- quent demoralization. The remedy suggested is to make the promotion of subalterns lineal instead of hampering it by regimental restrictions, so that length of service would receive its due reward. THE congress of American nations, which will meet in Washington, October 2, may be productive of considerable good to the merchants of this country. South American nations generally are preparing to send delegates to the con- gress, and a more enlightened view of each country may be obtained from a free interchange of views regarding trade relations. Last year the South American countries sald us $119,000,000 more than they bought of us, but the balance may be easily reduced or alto- gether done away with if our people present their industrial advantages in the proper light. Among the things to be considered are ‘““measures looking to the formation of an American customs union, under which the trade of the American nations with each other shall, =0 far as- profitable, be promoted; the adoption of a uniform system of weights and meas- ures; the establishment of regular and frequent communication between ports of the several American states, and other plans having in view the mutual profit of the various countries. Un- doubtedly a satisfactory arraugement on these and other essential points will have a tendency towards a very large and profitable increase in our future trade with the South American re- publics. ] THE couaty commissioners have at last taken the right steps to vindicate themselves. They have requested that the district judges call a special grand jury to investigate the management of county affairs. If such a grand jury is empaneled it should be made up of our very best business men. Hangers-on who live upon county and city patron- age should be excluded. Some of them may be prejudiced against the commis- sioners, while others would be justly liable to a suspicion of be- ing under the commission- ers’ influence. The last time the grand jury investigated certain abusesin city government he proceeding was a farce, simply because the membership of the grand jury was such as to make it impossible to indict any boodler, no matter how flagrant his abuse might have been. The beodlers had just enough friends and copareeners in the grand jury to prevent a true bill being presented. S——— JouN GRrASsS, the famous SBioux chief, is dying. Of the noted Tndians who took part in the bloody war that ended with the surrender of Sitting Bull at Fort Buford, Grass is the most enlight- ened and progressive. He was a fierce warrior, but when he buried the batchet he tried to lead his people nearer civilization and s influences.

With him, the presiding ofticer of every labor organization in the city oceupied the platform. The speakers, F. T. Ransom and W. J. Bryan, were introduced in the order named. Mr. Ransom, the father of Labor day, paid a fitting tribute to Lincoln and thanked the labor organizations of the eity for the compliment patd him, Mr. Ransom said that the laborer should insist as tenaciously for reccenition as the Grand Army man; that the Grand Army virtually dominates the reoublican party, especially in Nebraska, and the party owes more to this class of men thun to any other one cluss. and no thinking man will deny them recognition, What they accomplish they accomplish by organization. They constitute less than one-sixth of the republican voters, yet they aro 80 thoroughly organized that the party organizations nplicitly obey them, and while they constitute this proportion of the popular vote, the laboring clusses make nearly all of the rest. Wbat the defenders of the nation demand you can safely grant, and, at the sume time, muke the demand for yourselves which, in justice and decency, stould be conceded to you. You can do this in the selection of your congressmen, logis- lators and ofticers generally who administer the government. ‘'The power is in your hands and it only remains for you to apply it.

Ivory Soap contains no resin, and if used with tepid water, a sponge to apply the soap and water with, and a chamois to rub the window-pane dry, your windows will prove the truth of the saying: *‘Clear glass is to a house what beautiful eyes are to a woman.” A WORD OF WARNING. There are mang white soaps, each represented to be ' just as good as the * Ivory' )" they ARE NOT, ut like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine, Ask for "Ivory™ Soap and insist upon getting it.
