Dustar, Ta., Nov, 18.—To the Editor of Tar Brr: You aro quotad as saying through the columns of Tue Brr that the hich license Iaw of the state of Nebraska is a failure. Are these facts, and would it be too much trouble for you to giveus your views? The Iowa peo- ple are now almost clubbing you with the prohib, crank. Yours respegtfully, 3. H. Rman, Tre BEr never has represented the high license law of Nebraska to be a failure. On the contrary, it has time and again called attention to the marked contrast between high license and prohibition as agencies for the repres- sion of the vices and evils arising from intemperance. The high license law of this state is absolutely prohibitory wherever prohibition is backed by pub- lic sentiment. There are scores of towns and villages in Nebraska without a saloon, or resort where liquor is sold. In the larger cities, where the demand for stimulants and public sentiment are adverse to orohibition, high license has restricted the traffic in liquor within narrow limits. 1In this city the disorderly resorts, divesand dens where liquor was formerly sold have been closed by the police and a rigid surveil- lance is maintained over all resorts where liquor is sold at retail. It is no- torious that Omaha with -high licenss has proportionately a much smaller number of saloons than Council Bluffs has under prohibition. During the past year over eight hundred thousand dollars have been collected for liquor licenses under the Nebraska law and rectly from the producer who caltivates the soil, raises poultry and runs a dairy, will materially reduce the cost of living of workingmen whose wives and daugh- ters are willing to go to markew. If the price of living is cheapened two dollars a week for ench family the head of that family can afford to work for a dollar a woek less and still lag up a dollar a weok more than he does now. But the difference of one dollar a week will save 10 the mill owner or manufacturer who employs a hundred workmen five thousand dollars = year, which is equal to interest at ten per centon an investment of fifty thousand dollars. With such a difference in favor of Omaha, factories and mills would mul- tiply, and thousands of wage-workers would be employed steadily where now we only have hundreds. The grocery- man who would lose part of his sales by the market house would more than make up his loss of trade by the incrensed sale of staple articles which he would dis- pose of to workmen brought here by the vew factories. The orection of new factories and mills would of course keep an army of builders employed at good wages, make n demand for millions of brick and vast quantities of other build- ing material. The city would in conse- quence become an active mart for skilled workmen and the increase of population would vastly improve our re- tail trade in all branches and make farming in the vicinity of Omaha on both sides of the river very profitable. vaid into the respective local DR.

Dr. Green solemnly assures the country that an assessment will have to bo made against impoverished stock- holders lil:a Jay Gould to mako upa threatened deficit in case the post- mastor general persists in enforcing the rate recently mado by him for the trans- mission of government dispatches during the coming year. When Mr. Wanamaker first began his scries of if it wore possible by any law, however severe, to do away with stimulants and the drink habit. But any rational per- 8on must concede that so long as tho people of Nebraska derive eight hun- dred thousand dollars of revenue a year from fifteen hundred liquor dealers they would not be justified in abandon- ing high license for prohibition, which has left more than fifteen hundred dives and joints in the cities and towns of Towa that do not pay one dollar towards maintaining their public schools or any other institutions, There are doubtless somo defeets,in the high license law of Nobraska. No law ever devised by man has been found porfoct. But these de- fects can and doubtless will bo rem- cdied in due time. A FALSE ALATM. The purchase by an English syndicate of a number of grain elevators in the northwest has neediessly alarmed some of our anti-monopoly contemporaries in the two Dakotas. So far as can be ascer- tained, the change of ownership in these elevators cannot materially affect the farmers who are compelled to patronize them. Most of those ole- vators have for years been owned and controlled by American capitalists who practically had the mononoly of the grain trade in their respective towns, and fixed the grain rates from season to soason. They were allowed rebates by the railroads for their shipments and nearly always could prevent the farm- ers who desired to do their own ship- ping, from securing cars when they were wanted. The inter-state law, competition and co-operation on the part of the farmers have wrought a change for the bettor. Railroads can no longer discriminate gainst the producer. Farmers bave equal privileges and equal rates with the elevator syndicate. In many notable instances, especially in Dakota and Minnesota, farmers have erected their own warehouses for the storage of grain until the market price warrants a shipment. Tt is absurd to assert that a foreign syndicate can revive the elevator monopoly and keep up the exactions practiced in the past. The sale of the clevators at a fancy price will insure their duvlication by rival cowpanies and by the farmers, thus creating ac- tive competition and reasonable price: dven if the syndicate succeeds in shut- ting out competition, the fact that the controlling power is foreign capital will hasten the enactment of stringent state laws regulating elevators. Their power for evil is pas TCHEAPER LIVING AND LABOR. Tue BEE expressed the opinion ‘Wednesday that the opening of a market house would reduce the cost of living to laboring people and thus enable capital- 1sts who want to locate factories and mills in Omaha to operate them as cheaply as they could in other cities where labor is cheaper. This is stupidly combatted by a local paper in the fol- lowing fashion: This is queer argument for such a pro- fessed friend of labor as Mr. Rosewater to adyvance. If a market house would have the effect of cheapening labor, its establishment should be indefinitely postponed, Low wages and low prices for life's necessaries wouid not be beneficial to eitber the toiler or the merchant. Europe has both and the capital- ist class seem to monopolize the prosjerity over there. If Omaha cannot secure facto- ries without reducing her wage stardard, she must struggle along without them " A man devoid of common sense has no business to edit a newspaper. The same reasoning would apply to fuel and rent. If you can reduce the price of coal two dollars a ton and rent five dollars a month for a workingman’s cottage, would the wage-worker suffer by a corresponding reduction of wages? The wage-worker who earns five dollars a day and pays out thigty dollars a week for his living, fuel and rent, is not as well off as the mun who earns two dol- lars a day and gets the same necessaries of life for ten dollars a week. It is not 50 much a question with wage-workers how much they can earn, as how much it costs them to live, and how much, if anything, they can save out of their earnings. High cost of living does not necessurily make high wages. The laboring men of England get their meat and bread from America and bave w pay more for them than the wage- workers on this side. And yet wages in ¥Eogland are much lower. The frugal American workingman can lay up money in the saviogs baok while the English workingman eats meat only once or twice a week, rooms in garrets and cetlars and has to de- vrive bimself of the ordinary comforts of life which the poorest of American workmen enjoy.

At any rate, the outcome of this fresh outbreak will be watched with some interest all along the telegraph line. ‘WHEN Calvin Brico rushed into the west fourteen months ago, with a grip- sack loaded with democratic dollars which he desired to exchange for a re- publican state, he was appropriately dubbed a ‘‘rainbow chaser.” Time verified the truthfulness of the title. The organs and followers of his party,’ zed by off yoar victories, ave delu ing themselves into the belief that Ohio and lowa are now securely rivetted to the democratic column. Those who are familiar with the causes leading up to republican defeat well know that the issues. were purely local and personal, ‘'his is demonstrated by the official returns from Ohio showing that every republican on the state tic! ex- cept Foraker, was elected. In Iowathe people rebelled ngaiust sumptuary laws and emphasized their dislike by defent- ing vhe republican candidate for gov- ernor. Both states are as secavely re- publican on national issues as Pennsyl- vania or Nebraska. The fertile imagi- nation of democrats may erect rainbows from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Manitoba to the gulf, but they can not spring the arches from Ohio or Towa in 1892 Ir 18 not surprising chat the glories of statehood in Dakota are clouded by a prospective deficit of half a million dol- lars in the state’s revenue. The anxiety of the new staves to nccommo= date the greatest possible number of of- fice hunters is largely responsible for this, With a population of three hun- dred thousand, South Dakota has a legislature of one hundred and sixty members, a number greater than Iowa or Nebraska, or any one of half 8 dozen other states with treble the population, Seventy-five men could accomplish as much for the state as one hundred and sixty. —— WiTH an assessed valuation of fifty million dollars, Denver hus a bonded debt of one hundred and ten thousand dollars, This is suggestive. Denver has not a yard of pavement, nor a foot of sewer. Omaha, with a debt of twelve hundred thousand dollars, has seventy miles of main and lateral sewer and forty miles of paved streets and other improvements, aggregating in value over four millions. —— THE split in the Women's Christian Temperance union marks the first step toward dissolution, As long 8s it con- fined itself to legitimate temperance work it was a power for good, Now that itis a full-pledged political party iv loses the support of hundreds of veople .who believe in keeping moral questions out of the mire of politics.

Denver Republican., Indian Cominissioner Morgan 18 right in pursuing a policy to make tho Indians citi- zons, Citizenship is their ultimate destiny, and the suoner they reach it the better it will be for them and also for the country. The policy of maintaining the Indians on reservations was good enough during tho unsettled conditions of the far west. When all the country west of the alissouri river, with the excoption of & narrow strip along the Pacific, practically uninhabited by whites, the only way to maintain peace with the Tndians was to_keep them on reserva- tions. But since then white scttlements haye extended all over the weat, surround- ing the Indian reservations, and leaving them us so much barren gronnd. “The time has come when the Indian should step outof his reservation and becoms a member of the civilized socioty which sur- rounds him. It he is not willing to do this without compulsion, force should bo em- ployed. The country is under no obligation to maintain the Indians in idiencss. They have done nothing for the country, and the people owe toew nothing, Iut the dictates of humanity and the general welfare of tho whites alike demand that something should be done o ~civilize the Indwns and maio, them fitted o take their place in civilized society. ‘Phe only practical way to do this is by ed- ucating the Indian children, Tho adults will have to be given over to their nutive barbar- 1sm and ignorande. But something may bo done with the children. The children of school age may bo trained in the ways of civilization, s0 that when thoy reach matur- ity they will be able to guide their peoplo up 10 the higher plana of American citizenship. ‘fo maintain all the schools nccessary for this purpose would involve the necessary ex- penditure of a large sum of money,’ but it would be better to make this investment than to continue to support the Indians in igno- ranco, idlencs gnd barbarism. 201 ANDUSTIRIAL 3 SLD.

Among the num- ber may be mentioned the South Omahn branch of the Nebraska Savings bank and Sixteenth strect branch of the Bank of Com- merce of Omatn, It appears that theso banking mstitutions have beon operating the branches designated upon the capital stock of the parent or principal bank which, according to the interpretation, is contrary to its lottor and spirit and an ordor was issued from the state banking department accord- ingly. The directors of the banks in ques- tion, however, apparently thought thut tnere wus nothing poremtory in the order aud thus far have failed to'comply withit. The examiners in their round-ups discovered the condition of affairs and_prompuly reported o factsto the board. This led to the meot- ing and the former order was reafirmed and theso bauks must capitalize at once or suf- fer the penaities nI the law. 0. C. "F“ m oures the Prize. 0. C.
