TuE destructive floods in the east are a startling contrast to the delightful Indian summer climate of this section. Truly, we are a favored people. THE city republican convention was a record smasher. The number of bal- lots cast for mayor was never equaled by any convention 1n the state. IT is a condition, nota theory, that confronts the republicans of Kansas. Party rents are growing wider under the blightiug force of prohibition. THE English investors are now try- ang to gobble up the watch factories of the country. The movement is evi- dently a stem winder on that industry.

The white lead trust has already gone to pieces, and several other combines are drifting helplessly amid the legal rocks., If the law proves asuccess} as - now seems cer- tain, Missouri’s example will be fol- lowed throughout the west. EEese—— IMMIGRATION to this country aver- aged forty-eight thousand a month for nine mouths of the year, The char- ncter and condition of the immigration has been consideranly improved under ‘the operation of the federal law, so that the number, though less for the same period last year, adds much more o the national wealth. — Tae republican primaries have opened the eyes of the real friends of law and order. The waterworks gangs, ~ the electric light gangs.sireet commis- sloner’s gangs, and a horde of hired ruf- fians jostled decent republicans at the polls, outraged the ballot by repeating, snd the police ealmly permitted these crimes because they were committed in the interest of the mayor, A more sesndalous use of official power and pat- - ronage was never witnessed in this city, MOVING ALONG SMOOTHLY. ‘The Brazilian minister yesterday re- ported to the seoretary of state that he had received advices from the new re- public stating that peace and tranquil- ity prevailed, the people everywhere accepting’ the new order of things. The Brazilian delegates to the interna- tional congress, who had withdrawn from the sessions, were also notified to continue ns representatives of their | country, an announcement which the congress received with enthusiasm. A dispatch from Rio Janeiro states that the provisional government has issued a decree establishing univer- sal suffeago throughout the republic. All this holds out most favorable promise for the new republic, and en- courages the hope that none of the dungers which have been appro- hended will arise. The fear has been expressed that a military dictatorship would ensue, and that the aspirations of military londers might carry the courftry into a civil conflict of the most desperate and de- structive character. Persons most familinr with Brazilian affairs have predicted that owing to the conflicting intercsts between the provinces, the want of homogeneity in the population and the antagonistic elements which they deemed .it impossible to har- monize, a republican system could not be made permanent. Born of con- spiracy, they believed it wouvld soon die of conspiracy, and that the overthrown government would be restored and made stronger than ever. It is too soon to affiem that no such dangers exist. So sudden was the change that many of the people, and particularly the mer- tile classes, have hardly had time to re- cover from their surprise and seriously consider what has been done. When the effect of the change upon business credit begins to be felt, when the intel- ligent and prosperous classes shall have given serious thought to the possible consequences of conferring “the right of suffrage upon a large body of ignorant citizens unfitted for wise self-government, and when the chances of injury to the general welfare from placing the affairs of the government in new ana inexperienced hands come to bo carefully considered, there may be a reaction that will at least seriously throaten the stability of the republic. Such a possibility is cer- tainly to bo kept in view, but thus far the spirit and purpose which appear to dominate the new government give no warrant for serious apprehension. The first great strain will come when the people vote upon the guestion of the future form of govern- ment and for the men who shall organ- izoit. Ifthat is successfully passed, the world will be better disposed to re- gard the United States of Brazil as an assured republic. Meanwhile the re- publican sentiment in that country will not lack hearty encouragement from the friends of popular government everywhere, and if expressions of ap- proval from such sources can prove an incentive to patriotism the Brazilian revolutionists have most ample reason tobe patriotic. They have earned a place in history the glory of which only they themselyes can impair. A QUESTION OF AU The visit to Chicago of the sergeant- at-arms of the United States senate, armed with subpoenas requiving Mr. Armour and other packers to go to Washington aud testify before the sen- ate committee investigating the cattle trade and beef-packing industry, raises the question as to how far the authority of congress may go in compelling per- sons to give testimony regarding their business affairs before its com- mittees. It will be remembered that when the senate investigat- ing committee was in Chicago, Mr. Armour and others declined to answer certain questions put to them, the ground being tLat the information asked for would disclose matters connected with their business which they did not wish to make public. The chairman of the committee, Senator Vest, then 1n- timated that a way might be found to compel them to furnish the information desired by the committee, and the in- tention of the committee to test the authority of the senate to compel the contumacious packers to testify is in- dicated by the fact of their having been subpeenaed to go to Washington. Very generally congressional inves- tigating committees are enabled to get pretty close to the bottom facts of sub- jects of inquiry. The power they rep- resent, orare presumed to represent, has usually secured for their demands respect{ul attention. But the instances are not few, particularly in late yeprs, in which they have been refused the information askad, and the cases are extremely rare in which attempts have been made tocom- pel witnesses to answer. The mostnot- able is that of Kilbourn, whohaving re- fused to produce his private books and papers before a house committee was reported to the house for contempt. Per- sisting in his refusal he was sent to jail and remained there forty-five days, when he was released by the su- preme court on habeas corpus proceed- ing. He brought suit against the ser- geant-at-arms of the house and recov- ered damages in the sum of twenty thousand dollars. Since then neither house of congress has attempted to ex- ercise a power of punishment upon a contumacious witness. So far as & committes of either house of congress is concerned, it is simply authorized to send for persons and pa- pers. When it summons isdisregarded, or a witness refuses to testify, the factis reported to the body to which the com- mittee belongs, which may vote the re- calcitrapt person in contempt. Thay being done the presiding officer of the body issues his warrant to the sergeant- at-arms for the arrest of the person in contempt. When brought before the body, it may, under the statute, if the witness persist in refusing to testify, send him to jail at the pleasure of the offended body. That is the law, but the precedent in the Kilbourn case would appear to show that it is of little value for enforcing the authority of congress in case of a witness who refused to tes- tify. That there ought to be a limit to the power of congress to requive & citi- zeu to disclose the secnet affairs of his business and to produce his private books and papers will hardly be ques- tioned, but when great public interests are concernad, as in the caso of trusts and combines to control the operations of trade, the fullest authority of con- gress should be exerted to obtain all possible information regarding the management and practices of such com- binations. In euch cases, affecting the interests of the whole people and the general welfare, public sentiment would approve extreme measures. Doubtless the Chicago packers will respond to the summons of the senate committee without forcing the sonate to compel their attendance, and they may bo expected to show a willingness to go somuewhat farther in giving information than they did in Chicago. In caso they do not, there can be no doubt that the senate will exercise its authority under the statute to the fullest extent. THE VIADUCT BONDS. THE BEE has been req uested to state at what time the union depot and via- duct bonds are to be turned over to the Union depot company in case tha prop- osition is ratified by the voters. The ordinance requires that bonds to the amount of one hundred and fifty thous- and dollars shall be deposited with the banking firm of Kountze brothers, New York, who shall deliver them to the Union depot company on January 1, 1891.” or as soon thereafter as the bank receives a'certificate signed by the pres- ident of theepot company, approved by the mayor, setting forth that the via- duct is completed and opened to traffic, and further that onc hundred and fifty thousand dollars have been expended in the construction of the depot. The viaduct must be completed by January 1, 1891, and the depot in one year from that date, unless strikes or legal proceedings delay the work. As additional security, the city is given two bonds, one in the sum of two hundied thousand dollars, “ag liquidated agreed damages,” signed by the Omaha union depot company, with the Union Pacific and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railrond companies as sureties, guaranteeing the erection and main- tenance of the depot and viaduct ap- proaches, and that all railroads desir- ing the privilege “‘shall have the right to run passenger trains to and from the depot upon just and equitable terms to be agreed upon.” In caso of disagree- ment as to terms, the question must be submitted to an arbitration board. The second bond is for a similar amount, ‘‘as liquidated agreed dama- ges,” signed by the Union Pacific company, conditioned that the company shall grant the use of its bridge and the approaches in Omaha and of the transfer, to all rail- ronds desiring to cross to- the city on just and equitable terms. In case of disagreement as to the terms, the ques- tion must be submitted to a board of three arbitrators, one to be selected by the city, one by the Union Pacitic, the third to be chosen by these two. The decision of the board is binding on both companies. I'hese provisions afford’ ample safe- guards for the interests of the city. “They insure the erection of a new depot and viaduct and open the Union Pacifle bridge to the Towa roads. The removal of that embargo on the trade of thiscity isin itself worth treble the amount of the bonds. Tne election of Hon. Gilboert A. Pierce as senator from North Dakota will be hailed with genuine satisfaction not only by the républicans of the west but by a host of admiring friends in the newspaper profession. Mr. Pierce’s prominence in that profession secured him the friendship of President Arthur and led to his appointment as governor of Dakota in 1883. His success asan executive was equally mar He championed the rights of the producers as against corporate greed, and com- pelled the railroads to deal justly with the bone and sinew of the tervitory. A scholar and orator of uncommon ability. thoroughly acquainted with the needs of his state aud the west, and a poli- tician of the best type, he will take high rauk among the bright and active representatives of the westin congress. THERE is favorable promise that sev- eral new and important manufucturing enterprises will be located in Omaha vext spring, and we are advised that there have recently been numerous in- quiries from manufacturers regarding this city as a manufacturing point. These facts are very encouraging, since the great need of Omaba in order to assure its future erowth and prosperity is industrial enter- prises, The attontion which manu- facturers are directing toward the city ought to receive every possible encouragement, and the 'apparent de- cline of interest in the matter of pre- senting Omaha’s advantages as a man- ufacturing point 18 to be regretted. There should be a vigorous renewal of effort in this direction. ALLEN O.

Ll T DoNot Be Jealous, Omahia’ Financial Jowrnal. The action of the Kearuey people In running the New England excursion vin Plattsmouth, Lincoln and Kearney, so as to avoid a visit 1w Owmaha, was a decidedly good piece of strategy.

The weather during December, 1889, will be very severe in the United States, Canada, and most of Kurope, writes C. C. Blake from Topeka, Kan., to the Louisville Courier-Journal. Part of the time it will be pretty stormy, with high winds, and the rest of the time it will be very cold. The wealthy should make extensive arrangements for personal comfort, then pray for the poor. The precipitation (except from the eyes of the poor) will be in tho form of snow in nearly all of the northern states and Canada. It will be pretty heuvy in the Gulf and Atlantic states, but 1n the interior the precipitation will fluctuate, being heavy in some places and small in others, averaging normal. In Europe, it will be cool to very cold, with small precipitation in Russia, and large in parts of western Europe, In the wheat regions of India, it will not be as warm as usual, and the rainfall will be larger than the average for that month. The present moderate sl;cll, which I predicted for the midd'e of November, will soon terminate, and winter weather will begin by the 25th of Novembe: —— A Boy's Wonderfal Eyesight John Thomas Helsop, of Birmingham, England, is a lad whose powers of vision are to be accounted among the marvel- ous.

Skl AN INGENIOUS ENUMERATOR, A Machine that Performs tho Work of Half a Doz n Clerks, There is no doubt that in the course of time working people are going to be a superfluity.says the Brooklyn Citizan, and that we are all going to spend our time in play while the machines wait upon us and perform all necessary labor. I came across a new proof of this asser- tion the other day in one of the tele- graph offices. Inoticed that the man who received my message went to & court of Buffalo county, was filed for trial in the supreme Today’s proceedings in the supreme court were as follows: The following genttemen were admitted to practice: Mr. H.

Stewart-Chute Lumber company vs the queer-lookihg machine and struck some keys, something after the manner of a typowriter. There immedintely flew up in the back part of the contrive ance the number of my telegram, the number of words in it, and the amount I had paid. My curiosity being aroused I interviewed she player of this queer instrument, and he told me it was a now labor-saving device, ana also a check upon dishonesty which Norvin Green was trying in their office and was about decided to placo in every telegraph of- fice the Western Union controls. It is an enumerator. Now ndding ma- chines have been known ever since the invention of the old Abacus, but this enumeration performs the work of half a dozen clerks, does it with more unfail- ing accuracy, and_is, moreover, 80 sim- ple that 1t can be made for $5or $6, while the:ordinary adding machine used in banks fetches anywhere from $40 to $100, It is a double-buck action sort of affair, as the telegraph clerk ex- plained it to me. As it is used in their work it registers every telegram, its price and length on a slip, and at the endof the day registers the whole num- ber of words dispatched and the entire sum of money roceived. In banks it is used in much the same way in filling the checks and making up the books at the end of the day. On touching a key the number and value of the check is thrown up into view, and at the same moment it is registered on the slip, while at the end of the list of checks it registers on the slip the entire amount calculated with perfect accuracy. So greatly does it simplify and shorten the cashiers’ and booklkeepers’ work that the clearing- house the other day, using one of them, cleared off its entire list in thirty min- utes---tho same work usually occupyin two hours and a-half and ‘the labor as many cierks.
