LINCOLN will copy Omaha's drum- mers' parade. The Capital City may profit in many ways by taking this city as an example. EAcrnt American hog imported to ‘ Mexico costs $2.25 for duty. This action of the Mexican authorities places a virtual embargo on the trade. As Murat Halstead has taken to writ- ing two and a half column editorials for his paper on the senatorial contest in Ohio, it 15 plain that he has serious de- signs on Payne’s place I his congressional pronunciamento Colonel J. Lawrence Sutlivan declares himself “agin floggin’ niggers.” On such a platform as this the colonel can hardly expect to claim democratic sup- port. * —_— THE members of the board of trade will probably avail themselves of the opportunity - to pay a visit to Water- town. Dakota,which 1s likely to become a prominent city and a close ally to Omaha. READERS of the New York Mail and Eapress have petitioned the president to give Colonel Eliott F. Shepard, the editor, the Russian mission. The pub- lic who read the paper offer up a solemn prayer that the effort will prove suc- cessful. As THE governor has issued an order forbidding dissipation and intemper- ance at the next state militia encamp- ment at Beatrice, under penalty of a court-martial, it is believed that the meeting will prove to be an exceedingly busy one. HAYTI will elect General Hyppolite president for seven years and settlo down to a season of peace. An election isa great pacificator, and when the Haytien public turns its attention to politics it will have little time for any- thing else. Tue late Henry W. Genet had some claims to being called “Prince Hal.” Ha was a political boodler, but a gen- teel one. e took money for work that was never done, but he spent it with the boys. Genet was indeed a prince in the haleyon days of the Tweed dy- nasty, although he afterwards became a convict and almost a pauper. —_— PRESIDENT ADAMS has been tickling the pride of the people of Fort Worth in return for a dinner tendered him by intimating that an extension of the Union Pacific from Nebraska through Texas to the Gult was more than proba- ble. As a romancer President Adams is much more to be trusted than is he as a railroad builder, — IN answeving a correspondent’s ques- tion the Boston Globe states that every state in the union except Nebraska has one or more legal holidays. The writer claims that Nebraska has no holiday, Thaunksgiving day is certainly one, if the governor’s annual proclamation to this effect has any legal weight. Arbor day and Labor day are both legal holi- days in this state. All national days are as well and as legally observed here a8 in any state. The (7lobe has been led fnto a very foolish statement through ignorance of the facts. ALTHOUGH South Omaba has a prop- erty valuation of nearly two millions, the Magie City is now burdened with a debt in excess of the legal limit. It is @ question then whether the eity will be ableto float any more of its bonds, If not, the work of public improvement will come to a full stop. South Omaha is finding itself in & delicate position. The growth of that city calls for an ex- teasion of its waler supply, sowers and grading, while the question of paving «an notloug bedeferved. Under the cir- cumstances sheer necessicy will compel annextion with Omaha, if public eredit is o be maintained, prosperity insured, wnd the work of public improvements keep pace with that of private euter- prise. CONGRESSMAN COX DYING. The announcement that Congressman S. 8. Cox, of New York, is dying, will be received with general and profound regret. For more than thirty years prominent in politics as one of the ablest and most respected of democratio lerders, *“‘Sunset” Cox is as well and widely known as any contemporary pol= itician, and few have so large & meas- ure of hearty public esteom. He has been ingsome respects a unique figure in polities, and while at no period of his career a foremost leader in his party, he has always commanded its un- questioning confidence and exerted a strong, if not & commanding influence in its councils. Always an earnest and consistent partisan, prompt to accept and faithtul in performing every duty devolved upon him by his party, S. S. Cox has never been identified with the bitter and rancorous class of partisans. While never hesitating to defend the vrinciples and policy of the democratic party, whether in the arena of congress or on the public platform, he has rarely or never descended to the methods of speech which are common with the average politician, His no- ture and temperament are not of a kind that permitted him to indulge in either the coarseness or the acerbities of po- litical controversy. e could deliver blows that hurt, but the pain was not associnted with a sense of insult and personal detraction. His shafts of humor shot at an opponent were often more effective than all the arguments of others, but they left no sting. There have hegn few men in American public life whose controversial rec- ords were so extended as that of S. S. Cox, and yet it is safe to say that none who ever contended with him in debate held toward him any feeling of personal enmity. During the long congressional service of Mr. Cox, which begun in 1856 and continued, with an interum of five or six years, down to the close of the last congress, hie was conspicuous in connec- tion with a gr deal of important legislation, and attained prominence as one of the foremost parliamen- tarians of the country. Perhaps no part of his public ser- vice was of greater value, or will be longer remembered to his honor, than his efforts in behalf of statehood for the Dakotas, Washington and Montana. He was a consistent and earnest advocate of division for the Da- kotas, in this respect antagonizing many members of his party in and out of congress, but he drew others to his support, and was thus very largeiy in- strumental in securing the adoption of the legislation which has added four stars to the national flag. His visit to the new states a short time ago was marked by numerous popular ova- tions which attested how thor- oughly the peopla of those states appreciate his labors in their be- half. Fis home constituents will no more keenly regret the announcement that he is dying than will the people of the new states, and particulary vhose of the Dakotas. Mr. Cox had u brief diplo- matic experience as minister to Turkey, winning great populavity there and performing his duties creditabl, Mr. Cox has contributed liberally to literature. and most of his works have been widely read. His “Eight Yea in Congress” is a valuable contribution to political history, while his sketches of travel in various countries and his lighter productions make very in- teresting, instructive ana pleasing read- ing. Mr. Cox is a native of Ohio and WHERE WE ARE DEFICIENT. The expressions coming from the countries that will be represented in the three Apericas confereuce which will meet in Washington next month indicate that those countries strongly desive more extended trade relations with the United States. They would prefer a direct trade with this country to the present indirect commercial con- nection through England. This has been stated by the representative of Brazi. as the general sentiment in that empire, and a like feeling prevails in other South American countries. A leading object of the conference will be to consider how this can be accom- plished. The generally accepted view is that the most essential condition to an ex- tension of our trade with the other Americas is better means of communi- cation, and the importance of this will not be questioned. But this is not the only respect in which this country is deficient. Statistics regarding the aumber and tonnage of vessels engaged in the trade between South America and the United States do not tully bear out the complaint of lack of communication. The facts show that it is not so much the want of transportation of trade that is the trouble. This will be understood when it is stated that our exports to South and Central Americas, Mexico and the West Indies last year exceeded in value those of 1881 to the amount of less than five million dollars, while our imports were reduced in amount, the decline being in trade with the West Indies, the imports from the Amer cas having increased. In this period of seven years the increase of our exports to the countries south of us was only about seven per cent, while to all countries during the same time it was thirty per cent. These fucts bear evidence to a failure to adequately cul- tavate this southern trade, and indicate that the morchants and manufacturers of the United Stutes huve cither been blind or indifferent vo their oppor- tunities. * A writer who evidently knows what he is talking about asserts that a gen- eral indifference regarding this south- ern trade explains why it has not grown. The great majority of Ameri- can manufacturers have not been will- ing w do what was required to secure the trade. If it came to them it has been accepted on their own con- ditions, but they have made no effort to atteact it or to increase it. Very little attention has been given to the produc- tion of the cluss of goods most in de- mand in South and Central America, and us & consequence the Eaglish, Ger- mans and Frouch have gone steadily on profiting froi the indifference of our manufacturers, until they have acquired a supremacy which it may require years of effort to deprive them of. Assuming this state of affairs to be a prime difficulty in raspect to our commercial relations with the countries south of us, obviously the first requisite to enlarging those relations is a radical change of policy on the part of Ameri- oan manufacturers. They must pre- pare to compete withthe manufacturers of Europe in giving the paople of the other Americas what they want. Thoy must endeavor to suit the vastes and customs of those people, and to produce et least as cheaply and as well as tha producers with whom they must compete. They must accom- modate themselves equally with the manufacturers of other countries, to the business methods and conditions of those whose patronage they would se- cure. Until thisis done we may ex- pect to find ourselves worsted in the contest for our share of the southern trade, and whenever it shall be done the facilities of transportation will un- doubtedly be provided as rapidly as the demunds require, and without the aid of sudsidies from the public treasury. FOR REPEAL OF INTERNAL TAXES. It appears certain that a combined effort will be made by the republican members of congress from the south to secure a repeal of the internal revenuo taxes. A petition is now circulating in the south asking that the taxes on tobacco and fruit brandy be repealed as the first step toward the reduction of federal taxation, and calling upon the southern republican congressmeén to vote in the organization of the Fifty- first congress for no candidate not committed 1o these views. The petition also insists that in all committees on the floor of the house these representatives shall vote for measures demanded by their constitu- onts,and particularly for the abolition of the excise tax on tobacco and brandy distilled from fruits. It is not questionable that this peti- tion represents the views of a large ma- jority of thesouthern people, regardless of party. In Virginia both the repub- lican and democratic conventions: de- clared in favor of removing the internal revenue taxes, and simi- lar expression has come from both parties in other states. It isa matter of current report at Washington, also, that the several candidates for the speakership of the next house have been asked to pledge themseives in favor of this programme, and it 1s inti- mated that some of them have done so. In any event it seoms to be assured that the advocates of tariff reduction will be confronted by the demand that before the tariffis disturbed the reve- nue derived from the tobacco and fruit brandies, amounting to between thirty and forty million dollars,shall be cut off, and if, after this is done, it shall uppear that the necessities of the government stand it, some reducnion in the tariff may be made. This is clearly what this southern movement means, and its tendency will be to more seri- sly complicate the revenue question in the next congress, since there is to be a vigorous demand from New Eng- land manufacturers for tariff reductions. Thus another prolonged contest over this question is promised, and as the southern republicans will hold the balance of power, they may enforce their conditions. It is not dificult to believe that this matter is giving the republican leaders some uneasiness. Des MOINES is rejoicing over the consolidation of the several street car lines of that city into one strong trans- portation monopoly. While thisis con- trary to the spirit and custom of the times it 18 not strange that the people of the Hawkeye capital should hail with pleasure the new arrangement. That city has been sorely afflicted with sev- eral street car companies whose ambi- tion was to cover the greatest amount of territory with the least satisfactory ser- vice to patroms. Street grabbing was carried on to its fullest extent until the thoroughfares were full of pumpkin- vine lines constructed solely for the purpose of holding the right of way and not for the present accommodation of the public. The consolidation of the soveral companies will result in the taking up of ‘a large amount of track where the lines of rival interests paral- lel each other, aud in improving the service generally, While competition is esentially the life of business of any kind, there are instances wherein it produces a negative effect. Omaha might profit by reviewing the experience of Des Moines in this matter and use her in- fluence to improve the quality of her street car service while her respective companies are striving to increase the extent of the right of way held by them, o ALL AGITATION and popular move- ment by the people of the Missour: Val- ley for the purpose of securing govern- ment aid in making the Missouri river a navigable stream are a waste of breath and doomed to disappointment, From the nature of the cuse the Mis- souri river, with its shifting currents and weacherous sands cannot be made navigable except at a cost wholly out of proportion to the benefits that would re- sult. Of course Omuha would be vene- fitted by a navigable stream from Fort Benton to St. Louis. Butitisall moon- shine to go on year after year deluding ourselves that such & project is possible and can be accomplished by holding river conventions and pass- g resolutions demanding the impossi- ble. Time 18 too precious to quarrel with congress over the shortcomings of nature. Let the river conventions see to it rather that the apnual appropria- tions made by congress be spent in pro- tecting the banks of the Missouri river in frout of towns aund cities- from eros- ion, and not be frittered away in jobs for the benefit of contractors’ rings. That would be doing the pegple of the Missouri vallay a« real service, and would not make a laughing stock of the river conventions, —— DrusMERS’ parades are . becoming important features in trade displays and other public demonstrations through- out the land. Drummers are the most persistent and eflective advertisers any ity can have, and itis worth any city’s while to [p4ve nothing undono that will favorably impross them with its ad- vantagesand onterpriso. The knights of the gripeponetrate every nook and corner of; ghp common wealths and are a fruitful _source from which the people in_ isolated, out-of-the-way com- munities #drive impressionsof the busi- ness world. - A drummer’s endorsement of this or that city carries great weight with it to,these with whom he trades. While lie is employed by but one house to solicit yrade in some one particular line of business, he will never let an op- portunity for saying a good word for the entire business intorests of the city he represents go unimproved. The good example the people of Omaha have set in always treating her resident and visiting drummers with the marked distinction and respect which they merit, is being followed by other cities. THE secretary of war, in anticipation of the redivision of the Sioux reserva- tion, is looking forward to the enlarge- ment and improvement of Forts Nio- brara and Robinson at an early day. These posts will bacome of greater im- portance as military supply stations than they are at present the moment the lands ceded to the government are thrown open to sottlement. The In- dians of the Pine Riage and Rosebud reservations will, in that event, be in- cluded in a smaller area, extending from the White river on the north to the boundary line of Nebraska on the south, and between the ninety-ninth and one hundred and fourth degrees of longi- tude. Forthat reason it is necessary for the government to maintain strong and permanent garrisons at both thesoe fortsasa base of operation in case of an outbreak, and as depots of supplies for the various agencies. IN the ghastly record of the terrible dynamite explosion at Antwerp, by which over three hundred people lost their lives, it is stated that the factory which blew up had already been con- demued by the municipal authorities asunsafe. When veople learn thata condemned factory, steamboat or boiler is condemned because it is unsafe, and that the fact of its condemnation sig- nifies that at any instant it is liable to send their souls to eternity and leave nothing of them but their collar but- tons, then, and not until then, will snch distressing affairs cease to furnish daily horrors. Mgr. HENRY W. GRADY, the silver tongued orator of Georgia, has aban- doned his idea of eutering the sena- torial race in his state, but will stand for the democratic nomination for con- gress in the Atlanta district. There is a strong probubility that Mr. Grady’s voice will be heard echoing down the corridors of the capitol building at Washington, #s the editor of the Con- stitution stands in high regard among the people of his city, and they are willing to éncpurage his aspirations as a national law, maker, if for no other reason thau to hear him speak. s London correspond- ent estimates that Burope will require 230,000,000 bushels of wheat this year, as against 186,000,000 last year.

The demand which Mr. Washburn, the American charge d'affairs, has made on the Swiss government for compensation for the arrest and false imprisonment of four Amer- ican tourists raises sariously & question which has oftef lden raised jocosely: What can be done to "®hforce a demand against Switzerland by & power which has no ad- joining territory Frauce, Italy, Austria, and Germany opuld all bring armed pres- sure to bear on Switzerland, but what could England and America do if Switzertand chose to snap her fingers at them!
