COLORADO had a burean of immigra- tion and statistics which is doing good work in advertising the resources of that state, It has collected and is now displaying at the Chicago exposition a wonderful exhibitof the resources of the Centennial state.

There are minerals on display illustrarving Colo- rado’s remarkable wealth of silver, lead, coal, iron, petroleum, asphaltum, granite, marble and the lLike taken from her vast natural store house. It 15 quite apparent that Colorado under- stunds how to show off her resources to the best advantage and to attract at- teation. RETIREMENT OF TANNER. The reported retirement of Corporal Tanner from the office of commissicner of pensions will not ereate general sur« prise. A combination of circumstances has seemed to make it absolutely neces- sary that the administration should un< load the corporal, and recent statements from Washington had prepared the public to expect his retirement, volun- tarily or by invitation, at any time, The question of what to do with Tanner has undoubtedly been a serious and perplexing one with the administration. To retain him at the head of the pension bureau would be to condone his numerous mis- tukes to the certain injury of the ad- ministration and the republican party in public confidence, while to remove him would offend his friends, of which he undoubtedly still has a numerous body. It would appear that as the easiest way out of the unfortunate and annoying dilemma Tanner has been suspended pending the result of the investigation rerating in progress, but 1t -is hardly to be presumed that in any event he will resume the duties of the office. Of course he will not if the result of the investigation is unfavorable to him, and if favorable he will doubtless re- sign rather than continue to subject the administration to criticism on his account, Moreover there is reason to believe that the relations of the com- missioner with other officials of the pension bureau, and with Secretary Noble, ave somewhat strained, so that his remmning in the office would com- pel cthers to rvetire against whom there. s no public complaint. Having, regard for all the features of the situation, therefore, the probability is that the withdrawal of Tanuer from the performance of the duties of commissioner of pensions will be final. He maintains that he has keptstrictly within the law, and if this shall be shown, he will be allowed to retire to private life with whatever ad- vantages a vindication may bring him. It has been made apparent that the ap- pointment of imer was unfortunate, not because of his great interest and zea in behalf of a generous policy, for in this doubtl of the people are in sympathy with him, but for the reason that he has not the qualifications to judiciously admin- ister so greut a trust as vhat devolved upon the commissioner of pensions, We do not believe that any candid and vnprejudiced man thinks Tanner dis- honestor venal. If he has done any thing outside the law it1s because ho did not understand the law, and he is a man very likely to act upon his own judgment rather than to pursue the more pru- dent course of seeking enlightenment from others. It is not to be doubted, however, that he has iutended to act within vhe law as he understood it. With preconceived notions of what a pension serviee ought to be, formed upon sentiment rather than from prac- tical ide when Tanner found himself in the possession of a prodigious power of which he could have had but the slightest conception, with eighty mil- lion dollars at his command, he lost whatever discretion he may nat- urally have. Without experience in practical affaivs, and very likely with little faculty for such affairs, it is not difcult to understand why Tanner pro- ceeded as he has done. His other de- fect, that of talking too much, has done its full shave to draw upon him popular ridicule and detract from the confidence which was felt in him when he was ap- pointed. But whether or not the retirement of Tanver shall be final, there is every reason to expect good results from the agitation of pension office af- faivs, Congress will find it necessary to make some radical changes in the pension laws, which evidently now con- fer too great a power on the commis- sioner, and probubly to give an inter- pretation to some so that future commis- sioners need not rely upon their own construction of what was meant or intended. There has also beea a public sentiment formed regarding certain phases of the pension question which can hardly fail to have an influence in shaping further legislation. It may thus happen that the experience with Tanner will prove to be not wholly without useful resul of MUST B2 HELD T0 THE LAW. ‘The complications of the railroad situation 1 the novthwest do not di- minish, avd the prospect of an equit- able and permanent adjustment of the difficuities do not improv The fail- ure of the effort of the chairman of the Western Freight association to secure the co-operation of the trunk lines and Central Traffic association in establish- ing through rates to St. Paul having left matters in the shape they were * before the overtures were made, the managers are show- ing a disposition to renew the tactics which were so summarily checked by Judge Cooley, chairman of the inter-state commerce commission, when he told them that they would be compelled to conform to the law. The Burlington & Northern continues to ba the troublesome factor in the situation, and if the attitude of that company has been correctly reported the time may be near when the inter-state commerce commission will have to take it in hand and bring to a test the authority of the commission, There is very likely something more in this ruilroad strife than is apparent on the surface. The basie troubl course, is the Canadian competition, and it would seem to be the policy of certain roads to do nothing to remedy the trouble, if it can be remedied, in order that they may be enabled to de- mand protection from congress. This is the only inference to be drawn from the statements regarding the attitude of roads known to be most solicitous to secure lagislation designed to shut out the competition of Canadian roads. Meauwhile the chief concern of the public is that all the roads shall be compelied to comply with the law. The railroad managers engaged in the strife arve fully informed as to what is required for such compliance, The chairman of the inter-stats commerce commission has stated very plainly , of | they refuse to be guided therchby, as some of them have manifested a Gispo- #ition to do, they should be promptly called to account. As Judge Cooley told the managers about a week or two ago, the law was made to be obeyed ana it must bo obeyed. This is the principle which the public desires shall be adhered to and enforced. AN EPIDEMIC OF CRIME. A Chicago judge in instructing the grand jury stated that the reports of the press showed that there was an epi- demic of crime sweeping over the city, and suggested that if such were the cnse there should be an epidemic of justice, too. For some time past justice in Chicago has been very lenient, and a marked increase in lawlessness is the natural result. Tv may be remarked, however, that this experience is not peculiar to. Chica- go. In mostof the larger cities of the enst crimes of every degree have been very numerous within the past two months, and the explanation of this is not everywhere to be found in the failure of justice: Criminal statistics show that asa rule crimes increase at this season of the year, though why such should be the case the statisticians do not attempt to show. The fact, however, certainly is that crime has been very active in n large portion of the country for o month or two past, and ap- pears to be on the increase. Fortunately Omaha has been one of the localities exempted from unything like an epidemic of crime, or indeed any unusual development of eriminality. The record of the past two months per- haps maintains the average of petty of- fenses against the law, but there have been no very serious crimes, and we venture to say that no city of equal population in the coun- try, and which is constantly by s0 many strangers, can show a more favorable criminal record than Omaha. Other cities may find here an example of good order, careful government, and faithful ad- ministration of justice worthy of their emulation. isin receipt of a circulur from the Corn Palace association, of Sioux City, in which are enumerated some of the features to be carried out for the benelit of visitors during the continuance of the exposition. There is no doubt but that many excellent and original ideas have been elaborated upon in the preparation of the Corn palace exhibits, and in the design of the building itself considerable money has been expended to malke it both at- tractive und pleasing to the eye. Such enterprise is commendable, and since the organization of the affair Tie Ber has taken the utmost pains to gra- tuitously advertise it throughout the wes Our disposition towards Sioux City does not at least appear to be reciprocated by the papers of that city. Of course but little notice should be taken of the papers, on account of their obscurity and limited circulation. The opinions and utterances of a newspuper, however, are generally vn- derstood to be at least a partial reflex of the opinion of the place in which it is printed. The Sioux City papers, dur- ing Omaha’s Merchant week, with no eption, took especial pains to run down our exhibition, and it was evi- dently for the purpose of keeping vis- itors from unorthern Nebraska away from Omaha. If the peonle of Sioux City expect favors from the Omaha press it would be a wise idea for them to muzzle the small-bore editors who manage their daily papers. THE senatorial investigation com- mittee on dressed beef is finding a bet- ter fleld in Kansas City than in Chicago. Not alone are the witnesses more wil- ling to testify but the testimony is of such a character as to bring out the real grievances in the beef packing and tle industri The general burden of complaint is to the effect that u combination of packers exists in Chi- cago which prevents competition and fixes the price of live stock not alono at Chicago but at all the leading cattle markets of the country. The result of this policy is to depreciate the value of the cattle in the hands of the shippers fully thirty or forty per cent. On the other hand, the beef ckers of Kansas City assert that the dressed beef indus- try is likewise depressed and in no bet- ter condition than the cattle business, The unhased judge, however, is likely to take these iatter statements with a pinch of salt, At all events the inquiry is assuming a most interesting phase and i1t is to be hoped that the vexed question will now be probed to the bot- tom, ————— THE mining interests of the western states have suffered severely in the past from the manipulations of wildeat schemes and companies, The result is that mining too often has degenerated into speculation, to the detriment of the legitimate business. There is now a well defined movement, particularly in Tdaho, to abslish the mining exchanges and stock boards in the territory, with a view of checking the inflation which has so often proven disastrous to the best interests of that industry. The mines are now attracting ecapital and are being worked on their true merit. The result has been highly satisfac tory. But so long as their stock is quoted daily on the stock boards, there is the comstant danger of inflation, which has more than once given Idaho & setback through the oparations of gi- gantic swindle: 28 the wheat 000,000 bushels, or 50,000,000 maore than the August estimate of the department of agriculture figured it, 1f this estimate be correct, and there is no reason to believe iL otherwise, it puts the crop for this year within 8,000,000 bushels of that of 1884, which was the largest the country ever produced, It is probable, too, that when the harvest has been completed in all sections the difference now existing 1n the estimates will be overcome, and 1830 may become the best year in the record of the United States, E— .

At this time the beef interest is so far con- centrated as to be the next thing to an abso- lute monopoly. It is, in fact, one hand with four fingers. This, the biggest of all the big four of the period, is centered in Chicago, but by no means confined to it. One of these big four, Mr. Hammond, has his works just across the state line in Indiana in a town named in his honor, and Messrs. Arniour and Morris, are the greatest cattle buyers and dressers of Kansas City and Omaha. The real cause of complaint on the part of cattlo raisers is not that their beeves are not killed and dressed at home, but that the markots are few and those fow almost wholly con- trolled by four buyers, It isa matter of sur- prise that the combination between the big four is not closer and the bearing of the cat- tle market, coupled with the beef bulling of the market, more extrome, And the chances are that unless the statesmanship of congress devises somo way to check this tendenoy, the evil will increase with time, and the agita- tion of the subject do harm rather thun good. —— Sober Words to the Beaf Combine. Chicago News, The Kingdoni of Beef has set at deflance the government of the Umted States. Philip D. Armour and the other baronsof butchers’ meut have refused to recogmize the right of a committee of the nationul senate to order them to appear us witnesses and testify in regard to their business. It is true that Mr. Armour and his con- freres did not make their millions by telling the public all they know about buying steers and selling beef. It is true that they are busy men, with little time to spare from their large terests. But it is also true that they are citizens of the United States and amenable to its laws. They have no more public rights than the humblest day- laborer wno works for them. It was their duty to appear bofore the committee when summoned. It they carry on their business by lawful methods it was to their interest to say 8o publicly and set at rest the ugly charges which have boen brought against them by exasperated cattle-raisers, Their refusal 1o speak on the subject adds great weight to the cause of their enemies, We believe that the dressed-beef industry as now carried on by the great Chicago houses is of material bonefit to consumers 1n nearly overy part of the Unmted States. Still, if the biggest thing on this continent is a dressed-beef trust, the world should be made aware of it. e e e The Second District Situation, Hastings Nebraskan. 3 The work of the congressional committee at its sossion in this oty last evening was disposed of quietly and expeditiously without the exhibition of any feeling of heated rival- ryor angry contention, The more active and zealous friends in tho iuterest of Mr. Laws werein favor of gotting an early con- vention at McCook, and the selection of Hastings at a late date may bo construed as evidence that his strength is not so great as his more sanguine supporters had estimated ity though all ave willing to concede that he is a strong favorite in the race. It was a conference meeting, and a pre- liminary skirm to ascertain the relative strength of each candidate, and to gain, if possible, some idea of the second choice ten- dencies in order to form a conception of where lightning would finally strike, If any one was wise cnough to solve this problem he is much wiser thau his fellows, The con- gressional situation is decidedly mixed. The avowed candidates present were Messrs, Laws, Harlan, Hastings, Norval, Jensen, McPheoley and Gilham, and these, with the addition of B, S, Baker, of Fairbury, may be considered the number who have fairly and unequivocally entered the field at this time. The action of the meeting and tho inter- change of ideas between the friends of the respective caudidates has really shed no new light on the situation. It was racti- cally as well understood before the meeting was held. e THIS D THAT. Oue of the largest distilleries in Louisville is said to be finuncially embarrassed.
