E—— SOME of our citizens object to annexa- tion becuuse South Omaha is involved indebt. Theso short-sighted people for- get that Omaha will have to assume this debt sooner or later. If we do not annex 1th Omaha now that town will plunge still further into debt and then unload the ruins on Omaha. An injury to South Omaha will react on this city. This can only be prevented by immediate annexation. TrE aldermen of cultured Boston have adopted a rule that *‘no license shall be issued for a theatrical season until the licenseo delivers to the ci clerk for each member of the board of aldermen a season ticket of admission to his place of amusement,” There is no chance for misconstruing this language. It is a pugilistic challenge to the managers to *put up or shut up,” THE mossbacks and croakers who op- pose every measure of public improve- ment have started a ridiculous story that Omaha must purchase the packing houses in_event of annexation. They declare that the oity has authority to suppress them as nuisances, and that the owners favor annexation so as to unload the property on the city. This is simply a campaign roorbach. There is not the remotest danger of the packing houses being condemned as nuisances, and it is safe to say that the owners who make from ten to fifty per cent per annum are not working to turn over to the city such vich paying properties, EEeEE————— Wicnrra is a typical Kansas prohibi- tion town.

How was he to find out that they were bad? By improper proposals, of course! Is a policeman justified in making such proposals either off duty or on duty? Even if the women upon whom McBride, intruded without warrant of law were bad, what business had he there under any pretext when not on duty? Suppose a policeman’ was on the wrong scent and entered a private house and insulted vy spectable ladies? In this instance complaint was made against McBride before the commission, One of the women upon whom McBride had intruded was cited ns a witness, sub- jected toa coarse and brutal examina- tion by MeBride's attorneys and brought into ridicule by the reports published in the papers. Whether this woman is good or bad is immateria Her treatment was an outrage, Why should the police commission conduct such inquiries with open doors? Why should they allow any attorney to appear for policemen to browbeat wit- nesses? The commissioners are compe- tent enough to make an inquiry into the conduct of subordinates without assist« ance from anbody. Suppose that any man’s wife, ot daughter was insulted by a policeman who entered a house unbidden and while off duty when he had no authority, are they to be subjected to in- sults before a commission with imper- tinent questions into their private affaivs and their responses to be pro- claimed from the house-tops? But the commission dismissed the complaint, ex- onerated Policeman McBride and had him reinstated. That sets a very nice example for other policemen who may when off or on duty prowl about people’s premises, into private dwellings under all sorts of pretexts, or rummage through apartment houses to find out whether some of the mmates are open to insult- ing proposals. If this is what our commission consid- ers to be the function of policemen, re spectable people and others as well will have toarm themselves and protect their domiciles from unwarranted and lawless intrusion by the pretended guardians of the public peace. FOR A MERCHANT MARINE. If determined and persistent effort on the part of the advocates of vessel sub- sidies can avail anything, there will be legislation by the present congress for building up a merchant marine by dona- tions from the public treasury. Bills for this purpose have.been introduced into both houses, two having been reported to the senate last week from the commit- tee on commerce. The most important of these, in the demand which it would make on the treasury, s known as the shipping league tonnage bill, and was framed by representatives of the varvious ship- ping leagues, whose aggregate member- ship Senator Frye stated to be one or two hundred * thousand ‘“‘important men.” This bill received favorable consideration fromethe house committee on merchant marine, and has been only slightly amended by the senate committee. The measure proposes that the govern- mént shall pay thirty cents a ton for every one thousand miles sailed, and in- cludes all yessels from five hundred tons upward, whether constructed of iron, steel or wood, or propelled by steam or sail. Such vessels, however, must be of modern construction, must carry a certain proportion of American citizens us sailors, shall be officered by American citizens, and may be taken by the government for service in time of war. In presenting this mensure Sena- tor Frye stated that according to the commissioner of navigation it would probably cost the government for the first year between three and three and a half million dollars, and would increase within six ars to five or million dollar Whether or not the maxi- mum subsidy outlay would then be reached the senator did not say. It would hardly have been expedient to ex- tend the estimade: There is reason to believe, however, if the_opinion of the promotors of the measure that it would enormously stimulate shipbuilding entitled to any weight, that the figures of the commissioner of navigation very much understate the probable cost at the cud of six years. If the merchant marine should in that time attain the proportions necessary to meet the demands of the country’s for- eign commerce the subsidy charge on the treasury would be at 1 st five times the amount estimated by the com- missioner. It is of course impossible to say to what extent capital would embar in this cluss of enterprise, but certainly the inducement would be sufficient if thero could be any assurance that the subsidy policy would bo muintained, A very simple computation will demon- strato this. A steamship of five thou- sand tons suiling between New Yorkand Liverpool would receive from the tre ury nine thousand dollars for the round tr If she should make ten trips @& year her sub- sidy claim would be ninety thousand dollars, which is five per cent on one million eight hundred thousand dollars. Surely capital could not ask any better inducement to invest in ship- building than such a guarantee, the only reason for hesitation being the question of its continuance. The advocates of this policy cluim that it would save the people of the)United States many mil- lions for eve million it would cost, but it is quite impossible to satisfactorily domonstrate this. Nobody questions that the redtoration of the country’s merchant marine is desivable, but neither our own experience nor that of other countries with vessel subsidies justifies the belief that it can be accomplished in this way. The other bill introduced, providing for mail contracts with American steam- ships between ports of the United States and ports of foreign nations, while prue- tically a subsidy measure, is far less ob- joctionable than the tonnage bill, though it proposes a much larger compensation for the service than is necessary, Under this mensure first clags ships carrying the mails would be paid six dollars " mile, #0 that =& steamer sailing between New York and Liverpool would receive for the round trip thirty six thousand dollavs, or three hundred and sixty thousand dollars for ten trips a year, which would be five per cent on over seven million dollars. Members of congress who advoeate such proposals as these, at o time when the pv-npl:- ur- gently demand to be relieved of @ 't of the burden of taxation and the gl't'm producing interest of the country is ask- ing to be helped out of its condition of depression, ave either deplorably igno- rant of the public necessities or totally indifferent to them, FROM 0 ) OCEAN. The movements on the railroad check- erboard point unerringly to lines leading from ocean to ocean. When C. P. iunt- ington obtained control of a sufficient number of railroads to connect the Southern Pacific with tidewater at New- port News, his daving enterprise demon- steated the practicability of profitably operating a transcontinental line. The Santa Fe made a spurt in the same di- tion by extending from the Missouri viver to Chicago. Thi move foreed the Union Pacific in self-defense to ally itsolf with the Northwestern fto secure an out- let to the Inkes, And now the Northern atific has acquired control of the Wis- consin Central, which gives it an en- trance to the great mid-continent ter- minal. But will these great livesbe content to stop there? Judging the future by the past it is reasonably cer- tain that the final terminals will bs on the Atluntic and Pacific seaboards. The Union Pacific-Northwestern alliance practically forms a combination cxtend- ing from New York to Portland, Oregon. cumstances point to a close alliance between the Northern Pacific and Balti- more & Ohio, thus realizing Henry Vil- lard’s dream of a great transcontinental route, Inlike manner the Burlington must oventually cross the mountains to the Pacific coast. ~ It is inevita- It cannot stop at Denver, Lake or Ogden and subsist on such ecrumbs of commerce as the through lines will dispense, but must ch tidewater to successfully compete for all classes of traffic. In twenty years the present vast systems have been de- veloped. oAnother twenty years will wipe out what are now considered inland terminals and make the principal trunk lines distinetively transcontinental. . MEASURES OF RETALIATION. The position of the scnate committee which investigated the di on of commerce from the railroads ‘of the United States to those of Canada, and the alleged discriminationagainst Amer ican vessels on Canadian canals, regard- ing remedial legislation, is not so ex- treme us was at first represented. The country will unhesitatingly approve the recommendation that so long as Canada continues to diseriminate against Amer- ican v in her canals and ports nadian vessels should be gub- jected to the same rule as to charges. This matter is not a new one, but has been a source of complaint on the part of Americun vessel owners for a number of y certainly time our government took some action to sc cure just treatment for our citizens in thi particular, or else applied the sume rul to Canadinn vessel owners that the Do- minion government applies to our vessel owners. There is obvious justice, so, in providing a discriminat- ing toll on the tonmage of Ca- nadian vessels p ng through the | Sault Ste Marvie canal so long as the Canadian government allows a discrimi- nation on products of the United States in favor of Montreal and ports below that city on the St. Lawrence river, The committee asserts that this dis- crimination is an open violation both of the spirit and letter of the trea ssels Washington, and of this there is no doubt. With regard to the move impor- tant and difficult watter of vegu- | lating Canadian railvonds engaged a8 common iers in competition | with Amevican railvonds in the transportation business of the United States, the su, gestions of the committee are conservativ It thinks it the duty of congr 1o take such action as will ve American railronds an even chance in competition with the railvoads of nada doing business in the United tes, and this the committee regards as especially warranted by the fact that the Canadian statutes in terms justify the railroads of Canada as to all traffic secured from the United States, in disregarding the long and short haul rule of the interstate comme t. In view of the faet that the question of modifying or repealing that rule is being much discussed in this country, the com- mittee doos nob propose any action 40 make it applicable to the Canadian roads, but recommends that a license iem be estublished applicable to the wds doing business in the or S0me other plan not injurious to the trade and commerce of the country be | lopted that will give American equal chance in competi- tion with the alien corporation This in the judgment of the committee is de- manded in the interestboth of the rail- roads and the commerce of the country. So far as the recommendations of the committee are retalintory they seem clearly to be warranted by the facts and circumstances, while the suggestion of some action that will protect American railronds against a destructive competi- tion encouraged by Canadian laws will not fuil to recoive general public approval, Even that considerable portion of our population which is dirvectly benefitted by the competition of the Canadian rail- roads cannot desire to see pérpetuated a system that operates to enrich foreign corporations to the serious loss of our own at the same time that we impose re strictions upon the home corporations that renders it impossible for them to meet the alien competition, If we can- | not apply to the Canadian railroads the same requirements of law that | we impose upon American roads, and it does not appear that this is practicable ulroads an motor know he's | Grav, Council ummw.nu Smith, Stuart; George W.
