Notary Public £worn to before m Presence tuis st d [SBAL.] THE cedar block investigation served to show that Chairman Balcombe is aflicted with a deep-seated aversion to Gray. WHILE the ofl] s are hunting President Harrison at Deer Puark, ex- President Cleveland is hunting deer in the Adirondacks, c-secke TiE Omaha police are on the lookout for the Council Bluffs murderer. This insures him the freedom of the city. A murderer is not a suspicious character, Wirh Sam Cox dend and Sam Ran- dall broken down in health, the democ- racy will be painfully deficient in ex- perienced leudership in the next con- gress. THE visit of iney Dillon to Omaha should be ceiebrated by presenting him with a silk-fringed photo of the cow- shed with Dillonville in the back- ground. HORACE Boies, of Waterloo, is the Towa democratic nominee for the gov- ernorship. The name of his own town 10 doubt has a sadly significant sound 1o his ears. OMAHA’S mayor might take some public aciion that would bring the pro- posed fat stock show to general notice. At least some one should Broatch the matter to him, CANADA’S strong desire to become a part of this country is indicated by the fact that huge masses of Cape Diamond are breaking away from Quebec and sliding toward the United States. It STILL requires a coin made of sil- ver to pay the motor fare over the bridge line, instend of the popular pocket piece made of nickel, which should be sufficient to settle the bill. Ir Major Balcombe’s standard for ce- dar paving blocks had been enforced two yeurs ago, the firm of We, Us & Co., of which Jim Creighton was the head and front, would have gone into bank- ruptey New YORK'S desire to secure the holding of the world’s fair causes her to leave nothing undone that will raise the wind, Thus far, however, the ‘Yind” fails to blow up the necessary Hdust.” NOTWITHSTANDING tho fact that the doctors of the Missouri valley are in , Bession in this city, the general health of the people still remains good.

TaE success of the late exposition emphusizes what Tie BeE has claimed for years, that an annual exhibit of our industrial growth, properly managed, is the best possible advertisement of the city’s progress. Horse-racing is merely an incident of the show. And there 18 no reason why an elaborate ex- position could not be made a paying in- vestmont even if extended to three or four weeks. Ee—— GEORGIA has passed a bill which pro- wides that no person shall sell, furnish, give or provide any minor with cigar- ettos, tobacco, cigarette paper or any substitute therefor. Is this law de- signed to muke boys unpopular in that “ state or is it an inducement for boys to become voters at un early age? THE W001 INTERESTS. It seems inevitable that wool is to en- gage as mfbh of the attention of the next congress as it did that of the last. The special meeting of the executive committee of the national association of wool manufacturers, held at Boston this week, was expected to formulate some sort of proposition to be presented to congress as representing the demands of the manufacturers, but 1t failed to do so. About all that was de- veloped rogarding the desires of the manufacturers was ob- tained from interviews after the con- ference had completed its fruitless de- liberations. From these it is learned that the manufacturers regard the present time as a critical one for their businees, They have not for some time been enjoying @ wholly satisfactory mensure of prosperity, and the outlook is not favorable. The president of the national association is quoted as saying that, while there is no wish to attack the wool-growers, something must be done for the manufacturers, The growth of the woolen industry has not kept pace with that of other industries, ac- cording to this authority, and the man- ufacturers have not ouly had no induce- ment to expand, but have been obliged to contract. This condition of things has gone on until their business affairs have become critical, and the two courses suggested in order o resuscitate the business is either to cheapen the raw material or give greater protection to the manufactured product. A change which, it is the opinion of some, will give the manufacturers the relief they seek, is to make the duty on wool ad valorem instead of specifie. If this were done the duty would be graduated to the rise and fall of the foreign market, and it is con- tended that if this were done the for- eign manufacturer would not enjoy the advantage he now does over the Amer- ican manufacturer. A greatmany wool manufacturers favor this proposition. The wool growers have no doubt as to their attitude. So far as heard from they are unanimous in demanding not only that there shall be no reduction of the duties on wool, but that there shall bea restoration of the higher duties of 1867, as provided forin the senatc tariff bill. The protest of the Ohio branch of the wool growers’ asso- ciation against any and all propositions looking to a reduction of the wool duties is unequivocal, and there can be no doubt that this had a very important influence in determining the action, or more properly the inaction, of the Bos- ton conference of woolen manufactur- ers. There is to be another conference held on the 2d of October, which it is possible will give more defi- nite expression to the requirementsand wishes of the manufacturers, but {rom the present aspect of the situation it would seem that the wool growers are likely to have their wishes regarded. In that cuse the question before the next congress in relation to the wool in- terests will be thatof increasing the du- ties on the products of wool. It is plain that the manufacturers of woolen goods can not continue to do business under the present coonditions. Fifty nota- ble failures have occurred in this industry during the present year, and it is not in a very much better condition than the iron industry of New England, which is almost unanimous in demanding a re- vision of the tariff that will give it free raw materials. The promise is for a very active and interesting contest over the question of wool duties in the next congress, with a strong probability that the weight of public sentiment will be against any in- crease of the duties on wool, and possi- bly in favor of reducing them. . WYOMING'S FUTURE. Mr. Dunnell,the correspondent of the New York Times, who is supplying the readers of that journal with a great deal of interesting information regard- ing the great west, predicts a great fu- ture for Wyoming. Ho says that the past of this tervitory, glorious as it seems, will be but a pale and indistinet promise of future greatness iifty years Lence. While its ascectained resources are such as to excite the aamiration of overy one who takes the trouble to ex- amine the reports about them, it does uot take long to discover that they aro but imperfectly known., A few coal mines have been opened and arve puying vichly. The rocks have been tapped here and there, revealing ivon, silver, and other ores. Oil indications have been hastily examined at differ- ent points, with vesults so gratifying as to insure the belief that in the Rocky mountains are to be sunk the wells that will exceed those of Pennsyl- vaninas a source of the new world’s supply of petroleum. It is the guess of the geologists that there are thirty thousand square wiles of coal underly- ing Wyoming. 1ts sod deposits in sight are estimated .at millions of tons. Petroleum is escaping from one or two wells and from named and name- less springs in five or six counties, all still beyond the reach of the rail- roads, There s an empire in this territory, says the Zimes correspondent, lying half way between the Mississippl and the Pacific coast, that is us spacious in aren ns New York, Ohio, New Jersoy and Delaware combined. It is as broad as all the New Eogland states and In- dinoa together. It is larger in area by three thousand square miles than the great states of Jowa and Ohio. It contains nearly sixty-three million acres, a large part of which can be made splendidly productive by irrigation. Of its vast resources all await development, and the greatest of them, coal, has been scarcely touched. . A greut deal of capital will be re- quired to devolop the resources of Wy- oming. A vastexpenditure for irriga- tion will be necessary to render her now ulmost worthless lands productive. But it is only beginning to be known what splendid opportunities this terri- tory offers, and when that knowledge be- comes more widely disseminated there will be no lack of capitat to bring her various resourdes into service and to provide the means for her agricultural prosperity. There can be no doubt that THE OMAHA. DAILY BEE; SATURDAY, -SEPTEMBER 21, 1889, there is a great future for Wyoming, and not only is it probable that within the next ten years the present territory will have become one of the populous states of the west, but will also be ono of the foremost in contributing to the national wealth, It is the contempla- tion of all this, says the 7imes corre- spondent, the security for future great- ness that it holds out, that inspires Wyoming people with the desire to be accorded all the advantages that can be dorived from statehood, and the pre- sentation of such facts can hardly fail to make an impression upon congress and the country favorable to that de- sire. —_— FEDERATION OF RAILWAY MEN. The federation of the different labor organizations on the Union Pacific tem isthe resultof negotiations pending for nearly a year. The movement be- gan before the final collapse of the Burlington strike, and was due to the failure of that struggle. 1f this union is ratificd at the coming convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, it will result in one of the most power- ful labor organizations ever formed in this country, notexcepting the Knights of Labor, The Burlington strike cost the or- ganizations participating a large sum of money, but was not with- out its benefits and lessons. It demon- strated that the engineers could not carry on a strike for twenty-four hours without the hearty co-operation of the firemen, It bridged the chasm that for- merly existed between them and brought them into close, harmonious relations for mutual benefit. Realizing the good to flow from the union of two strong organizations, with interests in common, the movement spread to all societies of railroad employes, and now the union comprises the brakemen, switchmen, and Knights of Labor, and will eventually take in the train dis- patchers. The growth of this organization will be watched with great intevest by all friends of labor as well as railroad man- agers. Many difficulties beset its path, not the least of which are the jealousies isting botween them. will not seriously interfere with the harmonious progress of the organ- ization in the west, but in the east an intense hatred exists between the Knights of Labor and the engine men, which will require the earnest and united action of conservative leaders to successfully ovorcome. The action of the engineers’ conven- tion in Denver next month will deter- mine the life or death of the federa- tion. If that body sustains the policy of Chief Arthur to hold aloof from all kindred organizations, the result is lilely to be a split between the eastern and western factions, which will seri- ously eripple the brotherhood. The re- tirement of Arthur is demanded by the western men, and if they are successful the success of the federation west of the lakes is assured. FOREST FIRES. The destructive forest fires raging in sections of the northwestern states and territories have caused 1ncalculable damage to the country. Thousands of acres of timber land have been swept by the flames and millions of feet of cut lumber and cordwood destroyed in Montana, Idaho, Washington and Ore- gon. For the last two months the coun- try has been enveloped in a pall of suf- focating smoke, and day almost turned to night by clouds carried hundreds of miles from the vicinity of the disaster. The fires started early in July and have raged with more or less fury to the present time. It is impossible to compute the damage inflicted. The loss of life, so far, is comparatively small, but the loss of stock, homes, mills anc like property will reach into the millions. In Montana alone two hun- dred thousand dollars worth of cord- wood was destroyed on the mountain sides. ‘The immediate cause of this disastrous besom of flame was the drought. The unusual milduess of last winter through- out that section and the trifling snow fall left the mountains and valleys bare. Spring rains did not materially relieve the lack of moisture. As a result the country became a ready prey to the flames in mid-summer. The immense influx of settlers to Washington territory is primarily re- sponsible for the appalling destruction wrought in that section. The unsettled portion of the territory is heavily tim- bered. In their haste to effect a clear- ing, land hunters piled the undergrowth around the trees and attempted to burn them out. Their folly brought about their own destruction. The flames were carried beyond their control and brought ruin to hundreds of homes, The effect of the calamity will be felt for yeurs. It is especially crushing to thousands of newcomors, whose homes and crops and stock fell a prey to the devouring element. Coupled with the partial destruction of Seéattle, Elleuns- burg sud Spokane Falls, Washington has passed through a terrible baptism of fire on the threshold of statehood. SECRETARY OF AGRICUL with his assistants, a tour through purpose of 'URE RUSK, is making Kansas for the guining information concerning the sorghum sugar industry. He will visit six or eight of the factories and hopes by a careful study of the enterprise to gain a knowl- edge of it that will enable him to ex- tend such government aid as its devol- opment may require, The secretary expressed an opinion that the industry would become @ success. The sugar works at Fort Scott made three hundred thousand pounds at a profit last year. Greater results are looked for the present season, many improvements having been made in the processes employed. No further proof is needed to show that the making of sorghum sugar is a practical success. It only remains to clieapen the process so as to make it a profitable commercial undertaking. Uncle Jerry Rusk is the right man in the right place to look after just such industries. — BECAUSE Major Warner, of Kansas City, did not care to accept the pen- sions commissionership, some 'people imagine that the president would be greatly embarrassed in finding a suiv- able person for the office. The president has entortained no suoh fear for an in- stant. He will have no trouble to find & worthy suocessor tq Tanner. The tel- egraph stated that Major Merrill, of Boston, had been tendered the position, but he claims not to care for it. He will take it, though, from a sense of duty, if urged upon him, but this is not likely to bo done. It is more than probable that the major will reconsider his public utterances and take the place the moment he is sure he can get it. OMces like this do not go begging. IN 1846 the consumption of American cotton by Great Britain amounted to one million two hundred and thirty- nine thousand bales, while the United States used only throe hundred and ninety thousund bales of the product. In 1888 the English consumption had increased to two million soven hun- dred and five thousand bales, and that of the United States to two million one hundred and ninety-one thousand bales. The figures indicate that our cotton in- dustry is gnining on England, and in a fow years the most of the manufactur- ing will be done on this side. The south takes the lead in the building of new cotton factories and it is mostly due to that section that we are now able to successfully compete with Eng- land in the manufacture of this class of goods. CEES——— Tae grand jury, which will convene in this city next Monday, has a great deal of important work on hand. The thorough investigation of the manage- ment of county affairs is by no means the only subject that is to come bofore it. There have been violations of the criminal code that should not be al- lowed to pass by unnoticed. While the county attorney has taken in hand such infractions of the law as are flagrant and have come under his direct notice, breaches of the law in this city and county have been carried on under cover and condoned because no com- plaint has been formally made. THE public debt wasdecreased twenty- fivemillion six hundred and thirty-three thousand three hundred and si dollars during the first six months of Cleveland’s administration, while under Harrison for the same time the amount was forty-four million five hundred and forty-cight thousand seven hundred and twenty-one dollars. Every time a democratic editor begins to compare Cleveland’s with Harrison’s methods of economy, with unfavorable comments on the latfer, it might be well to advert to the exact figure: IT APPEARS that Kansas City has a method of swelling its clearing house business, which is not now, nor ever has been, practiced in this city. The stock yards business here hasnever been in- cluded 1 our banks’ total, but in Kan- sas City not only the stock yards, but the business of half a dozen small suburban towns is taken in so that the totals may assume large porportions. Kansas City is very enterprising, but her methods of booming very often give countenance to the most rank impos- ture. Tor death penalty was abolished in Rhode Islund nearly forty yearsago, and imprisonment for lifo was substi- tuted, since which, it is claimed, crimes of violence have been very rarely com- mitted. But would the seme laws prove as effective in a larger state, like Texas, for instance, where a man can not go outside of his own commonwcalth and still be within shooting distance of any part of it? THE second hanging which has oc- curred in Minnesota since the law pro- hibiting extended newspaper accounts of public executions went into effect, oc- curred yesterday, and every detail of the event was given at length in the papers of that state. When foolish leg- islators pass such a stupid law the news- papers very properly ignore it. I1is a long weary way from Arkansas to Canada at this season of the year, but J. Weiss, of Texarkana, is sup- posed to have recently made the trip. He had the foresight to prepare him- self for thie cold of the northern winter, and lined his pockets with fifty thou- and dollars of other people’s money. No minor event of the year has evoked such widespread regret from the press us the failure of the iootpads to squeeze “‘Old Hutch.” This shows a wrong conception of the eveut and the consequences. The highwaymen should be congratulated on escaping with their hides. Tue distressing news isreceived from New Jersey that the apple crop is al- most a total failure and that but little “applojack” will be made this year. Under these circumstances that state is likely to return a republican majority at the next election, Tung decrease in business noted in New York and Boston last week is due to the fact thdt their ball clubs are run- ning neck and meck, and the people are too greatly interested in the out- come to pay any attention to ordinary trade topi 1E Minnedpolis police commission have warned the police that thev must not talk on religion or politics, If such a policy were strictly carcied out in Omaha, we would soon be without sufficient police force to man the patrol wagon. THE grand reunion of veterans which occurs at Lookeut Mountain to-day will be one of the most notable gatherings of the year. But there will not be near the necessity for being on the “lookout” there was 1n the fall of 1863, THe Yellow river of Ubina has made another bad break and caused great damage. However, this irregularity is different from many ** breaks” that are made, inasmuch as it occurred about one bundred miles from its mouth, —— THE colored voters of Boston have de- clared that they want their share of the public ofices. This is another evi- dence that they have reached about the same plane of political intelligence that their white brethren enjoy. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS., The general elections in France for mem- bers of the now ochambor of deputies will take place to-morrow, and thore is universal intorost in the result, This will determine whether or not Boulanger is still an import- ant factor in French polities. The senato has convicted him of treason, and also for misappropriation, while minister of war, of the secret service fund. In almost any other country than France such grave charges, sustained by 80 eminent abody as the highest branch of tho legislature, would destroy for- ever the political power of any man against whom they were bronght. But [n that coun- try even the senate does not enjoy the abso- lute confidence of the people, and its most carefully considered acts may be set down by partisans as partial, unjust and malicious if directed against a political idol, The sen- ate having found Boulanger guilty of trea- son and misappropriation of government funds, it would naturally be supposed that he would be done for as a leader of @& cause or party, But such has not been the ocase. Those newspa- pers which supported him beforo the ver- dict was rendered have as loyally supported him since, and his followers of Belleville and Montmartre, two of the most populous vot- ing districts of Paris, have been rather moro than less devoted to his political fortunes since than before the verdict of the senate was proclaimed; they have held meetings of vast numerical proportions and made public demonstrations in his favor which cleariy indicate that their confidenco in him nas not been at all shaken by the action of the sen- ate. The late elections in tho several di tricts for councillors-general went aguinst Boulanger, but the issue between the princi- ples of the government and those of Boulan- ger were not so sharply deawn in that con- testas they will be in the approaching one. The councillors-general have nothing to do with the revising of the constitution, with abolishing the senate and restrioting or maintaining the rights of the clergy, and the doeputies have practicalty all to do with do- termining these things. The previous elec- tion cannot therefore be accepted as even a sutisfactory indication of the results of the coming one, and whether Boulanger shall appear re-estublished as a political force or disappear finally as one is yet uncertain. Both parties assume to be confident of suc- cess, and apparently the government purty with best reason, " Five parliamentary elections will soou be held in Great Britain which will as v test public opinion on the question respecting British issues as the general election in France next Sunday will test French opinion on French and European questions. Giladstonians appear to be confident of hold- ing their own in two of the four seals now vacant, and which were represented during the last parliamentary elections by liberals, The loyalty of Jonn Buras, the labor agi tor, to his political friends insures the elec- tion of the Gladstonians in Dundee, Scot- land, by a large majority. Burns refused to stand there us a socialistic candidate. That would give too much comfort to the tori cs, and might enable them to win a seat. In the Bgin Burghs the liberals expect to gain by an increased majority, as the Scotch dissen- tient liberals of 1886 appear to have returned to the Gladstonian fold. The principal con- tests then will be in North Buckinghamshire, where the Gladstonians with a popular can- didate hope to overcome an adverse majority of 71 at the 1836 election, and in Peterbor- ough, where they aro fighting a family fa tion and trying to overcome a tory majority of 800 in a vote of 8,000. ‘The Peter borough constituency is the most strong Protestant in England and was represenced in parliament for years by the anti-popery poli- tician Whalley. The liberals now hops to gaiu the borough on account of Balfour's co- quetting with the Irish Catholic bishops, The outcome will be interesting. - «x The meeting of the czarowitch and the kaiser, it apears, lost no warmth from hav- ing been so lonz delayed, and as the fore- runner of the pzar's visit to Potsdam it may put an end to the rather ungracious grumb- lings of some of the German newspapers over what they have chosen to consider the czars tardy return of courtesy. It is true that more than a year has gone by since Em- peror William’s visit to Russia, and also that it was his first journey after coming to the torone. But there must always be sucna casting of police horoscopes and preliminary wracking of mihilists before the czar can move out of his domains thata postponement of intended trips can never be safely judged from a political standpoini. On the other hand, the inference from the unusual honors accorded to the czarowitch that he is more favorably inclined toward Germany than his father seems hasty, and certainly is not in accord with what has been understood hitherto. What the fervor and brilliancy of his reception may fairly be inferred to indi cate is that the German goyernment wishes to show to all the world its desire for cordial relations with Russia, and there never has been any real ground to doubt the sincerity of thav desire. S Samoa's three kings, reiieved of foreign influence, are conducting themsolves in a commendably pacific and amiable fashion, such us could hardly be expected from a trio of rival candidates for the throno. With a courtesy that has aroyal flavor, even if it comes from the south seas, Malictoa, on being brought back by the Germans from his unjust banishment, insisted on not imme- diately displacing Mataafa, urging ill health, and thav Mataafa had really been made the depository of regal nower by the patriot pop- ulation. But Mataafa was no less earnest to have it understood that he had been the rep- resentative of Malietoa till the latter should return, Now it appears that Malietos was at length quietly restored to power, sud that thereupon these frisnds both withdrew to Mauono to await the action of our country on the Berlin conferen Manouo is a little island of about three square miles area, 'in- closed within the sea roef of the large island of Upolu, on which Apia, the capital, is situ- ated. They are accordingly intently bent on not coming into conflict with King Tawa- sese, who is presumably still av Apia, and is certainly quiet and tractable. With such conduct on the part of the three kings, the threo treaty powers ought to find littlo trouble inarrangiog the new Samoan gov- ernment, . oo Prince Albert, of Monaco, if he really breaks up the pala ino at Monte Carlo, will be éntitled to the erodit of a raro sacritice of personal interest. For the Casino at Monte Carlo is, in a very material sease, bis principality. Iv is from the renting of this that the rovenue of Monaco has been do- rived for the last twenty years, and during sl that period the subjects of the prince huve been exempted from taxation. To abolish gambling in the Casino now means w impose taxes again upon a people who have learned to enjoy & government without paying tor it, and it requires a brave man to take such a radical step as this in the treat- ment of his subjects. It is sincerely to be hoped that Princo Albert possesses the requisite moral courage to begin his reign over his small Mediterranean territory by putting into execution the scheme with which the Berlin dispatch credits hiwm. Monte Carlo has been @ disgrace to the cna- tinent of Europe sinoa 1833, when the Casino first arose on its beautiful slopes. It has beeén the scene of innumerable suicides, the theater of blasted hopes, sud the grave of lost honor, Its blighting influences bave not been confined to France or Italy, the conti- nent, or Barope, They have strotehed across oceans and ruined the prospects of families all over the oivilized world. And all this evil has beon allowed to flourish simply that | a little family might be allowed to reign in Monaco without laying its own subjects under contribution, . o It is reported from Borlin that Count Hor- bert Bismarck rocently made a seoret visit to Italy for the purpose of counsulting with Pre- mier Crispi about the proposed mooting of the emperors of Germany and Austria with King Humbert at Naples. According to this account the emperor of Austria will decline to go to Naples unless the Italian governmont shall change its volicy with respect to the pope and suppress such demonstrations as the recent unveiling of the statue of Giordano Brano at Rome. It is said, morcovor, that King Humbert is to be informed by an agont of Bismarck that the other partics to the triple alliance will “constrain’ him vo respect tho wishes of tho vatican in these respects, The loss of his independence as a sovereign would be a poor exchange on the part of King Humbert for such protection as he can ovtain from the ‘triple alliance, if that alli- ance is to be turaed into a stick with which Germany and Austria, a Cathohe aud a Protestant country, can beat him into antag- onism with the nineteonth century and the liberals of his own country in order to vicase a representative of the middle ages. * ) The anviversary of Mexico's independence has just becn celebrated in all the chief cit- ies of our sister republic, and the onthus- 1asm of the national holiday this year has been almost cqual to that of the Foarth of July in tue United States. There is good roason forit. Mexico, which has so often suffered from internal disturbances, is now enjoying a long period of profound peaco; her prosperity is inereasing in o remarkable way; a new element is being added to her populetion by immigration from Italy, and there is unusuai activity in the deveiopment of her vast resources. ‘I'ne Mexican gov- ernment has sent an oficial delegate to the congress of the Three Americas that is soon to assemble in Washington; und there need beno doubt that the acts of that covgress will be advantageons to the commercial in- torests of Mexico as well as to those of the United States, Brazil 18 making steady progress toward a more liberal covernment, Latest advices in regard to the general elections held two weeks azo show that of the one hundred and twenty-five members of the house of repre- sentatives the liberal party has electod ninety-five, thus having an overwhelming majority. The latter part of May there was « clash between the emperor of Brazil and the consorvative cabinet, which resulted in the dismissal of the minister ia power, the dissolution of parliament, and an order for a now election, which was held August 31, tod result. This 18 an en- ment of the cabinet which was formed June 7 by Ouro Preto, the leading liberal in Brazil, and also of the advanced 1deas of the emperor and of the reforms propose by Premier Preto. . »" » Siam is the latest of the countries to em- brace the civilization which railroads bring in their train, Surveys are now in progress for intended lines for Bangkok to the north- ern and eastern provinces of the land whicn 18 notorious for its cluims to the possession of a white elephant, and it is believed that : of rails along the routes ma out by the cngineers will be spee lowed by the formation of companies for do- velopiug the mineral wealth of the country on a large scale, esent malaria is the principal thing tha ns to hinder the i up of the i Siam to exten- sive commercial intercourse with Europe and the United Statés, 4 Aflec Jarried Too Far.
