Fenn, oneof the most prominent businessmen, was pesident, and twenty-five solid business men acted as vice presidents, The meeting wis characterized by in- fectious enthusiism which showed sho eamest protest of the commurity against the farcical prohibition law of the state, ———— THE total bonded debt of the thirty- eight statesof the union in 1880 was in round numbers two hundred and fifty- five millions, With forty-four states in 1890 the total debt is only one hundred and ninty-five millions, an average de- cresse of sixmillionsa year during the decude. Of this amount the western states show a decrease of nearly eight millions. This is a remarkable exhibit of progross and prosperity, Tt is all the more notablo in the west whore, in the last ton years, enormous sums were ex- pended in all classes of public works to keop pace with the marvelous growth of the country, THE CUSTO0. ADI Thenew law relaling to the alminis- tration of the customs {8 giving foreign manufeeturers n groat deal of anxiety. This is particularvly the ease in France, from which the most vigorous and per- sistent complaints have come that the Iaw will work an injustice to Irench manufacturers doing business with this country and vilully affect commerce be- tween the two nations, There wasre- cently held in Paris a consular confer- ence which received complaints from nearly thirty chambers of com- merce pointing out the difficulty of complying with the provis- fons of the law without almost destroying trade. [t was the conclusion of this conference that the law did not” oppress honest imyporters, and that its only alm was to protectthe revenues of the United States. Sofar ns the fines and penaliies provided by the law are concerned they are for the most part simply ve-enactments of old laws. Mr., New, the Amc cosul general at London, is quotedas syying that tothe honest fmporter and dealor the law has no terrors, but to the fraudulent con- wr or consignee it 15 a measure which will insure to him the rather severe penalties preseribed ther in. The law las veceived a great deal of adverse comment in this country, but whatever defects experionce with its operation may show it o possess, the in- tention of the law is to protect atthe same time the intorests of the gover mentand of honest importers and d gainst fraud. or years there has heen an urgent de- mand for radical reforms inthe adminis- tration of thecustoms service, and re- peated eflorts were made tosecure them, but s long asthe house of reprosenta- tives wasin democratic control nothing could be accomplished. It was well Inown that the government wys losing revenue anmually to a vay lirge amount, all of which went to the benefit of dishonest im- porters. There was an alirming prov- alence of und ations, 'The veport of the secrotary of the tre for 1856 stated tlat fully ninoty poe cent of the importations of silk v sented consign- its on foreign acc nnn? and were as a rule undervalued, Secrctary Win- domin bis weport last year suid that “the dificulMes so embarrassing tothe customs offic and the department, ng out of the infirmities of the tarilt sehedul e intensified by the thadequucy and faulty character of the lnws relating to customs administration,” which were derived from two hundred and sixty-three aets of cor during aperiod of ninety years secretary declured that under those Jaws it was practically impossible to sacure uniform and just wvaluations, There was no adequate means afforded by the Tuws for the punishment of fraud in the entry of merchundise. The gov- ernment was requiredto prove aflirma- tively not only that the goods were falsely entered, but that suchlentry was made with fraudulentintent, and to ob- tain such proof was asa rule impossible, For ten years seuretaries of the treasury had recommended that the statutes be so amended 53 to enable the gov- ernment to obtain the forfeiture of merchandise, or its value, upon proof of false eniry, placing upon the claimant theburden of proeof toshow innocence of frand in the transaction. Such was the state of affairs which the present congress was called upon to remedy, and the ways and means com- mittee promptly and laboriously ad- dressed themselves to the task. The mensure which beeame law was most carefully considered and diseussed in both the house and senaf and equal care was given to its consideration by the president. It may prove in operation to be in some respects defective, but it is not to be doubted that it will be found a very greatimprovement over the old laws as a protection to the government importers. It is possible that congress will give a respectful hear- ingto the representationsof the French chuambers of commerce, but undoubtedly the law will rexuin a8 it is until experi- ence shall have demonstrated what changes are necessary to better promote the interests of the government. e RAILROADS AND THE COMMISSION. Thers is some uncertainty as to whether the milroads will carry out their original determination to fight the orvder of the interstate commerce com- niission reducing grain rates from the west, whicl is to go into effect Septem- ber 1. The firm attitude of the Union Pucifie, Alton and Rock Island roads in opposition to such a contest has had a very decided effect in producing in the minds of oficials of the other roads in- Zro passed y and the terested some doubt vegarding the chance of succecding in such o fignt, It would appear from reports that the legal advisers of the Union Pacific and Rock Island had reached the conclusion that it would be impolitic to make a contest against the commission and suffer cor- tain defeat, while usto the Alton it has the candor to say that instead of the rates ordered by the commission being below what is just to the ronds and rea- sonable, corn and wheat are in the ma- Jority of cases now being carried at very much lower rates. In making thissta ment unquestionably the Alton officials know what they ars talking ahout, The most significant indication that the purpose to fight hasheen abandoned appears in the fact that o de gone to consult with Chairmy the interstate commerce commis with a view to having the order of the commission mmullud in one respect, 'his relates simply to the five cent dif- ferential at St. Louls, the maintennne ) of which is desived, but it is doubtful vhether the commission will make this concession, It has taken its position after a thorough investigation of the facts and o deliberate conslderation of the arguments for and againstthe change ordered, and the reasons upon which the order is based are so cogent and conclusive that it is hardly to be supposed the commission will be induced to make any change, The modifieation which the railronds ask for might not essentially affect the goneral scope of the order, but having taken a clearly defined and decided position the wiso thing for the commission to do is to ad- hereto it. Itcan hardly do otherwise as toany feature of its order regarding wtion has m the west without sut jeeting Itsell to unfavouable eriticism from the publie, while gaining nothing in the estimation of the corporations andtheir friends, The promise s that the order will be insisted upon asit is, yod, and that it will be ob RIVER AND HARBOR LEGISLATION The opinion obtained in Washington a week ortwo ago that there would be no leglslation at the present session of con- gress for the improvement of rivers and harbors, The house had passed o bill carrying appropriations to the amount of botween twenty-twoand twen- ty-threemillion dollars, but when esti- males of revenue and ex penditure began to be made, from which it appearel there wis danger of a considerable de- ficit for the current fiseal year, word went oul that appropriations would be curtailed by cutting off thosoe Igr river and harbor improvements, It is true the last bill for this purpose was passed in 1888, but it w gued that as about five million dollars of the amount then appropriated is still unexpended it would be safe to postpone further appropria- tions until the next session. But these ments were somate, which on Suturday passed the river and harbor bill with amendments that materially inerease the aggregate appropriation of the house bill. Sena- tor Edmunds thought half the amount proposed 1 the measure, with the five million dollars remaining from the last bill, would be sufficient, and he suggested that the treasury would he fifty million dollars short at thoe close of the currvent fiseal year even if the duty were not taken off sugar, but this was met by Senator Prye with facts and figures in evidenceof the advant- ages tocommerce of improving the riv- ersand havbors, which produced the in- fluence they were intended to. The gineers had reported demands for a much lirger expenditure than the bill provided forand this fact was a potent avgument in behalf of the measuve, The bill must now go to a conference committee, and it will not take long to develop the intention of the ity of the house regarding it. The predicted failure of this legislation, however, isnot likely to be verified, and a compromise which will somewhat re- duee the amount in the senate billis probable. B lost on the A CHICAGO SQUEEZE. The determination of Chicago to place a commereinl rope avound the nack of the west shoula arouse to action every shipper west of the lakees. 1f the ity succeads the commercial prospority and independence of every city from the lakes to the mountains will be imper- illed. Orgunized resistance is impera- tive. Theright of the west to secure ship- ments without paying tribute to Chicago has never teen questioned, but Chicago has conspired with subservient corpa tions to levy what is practically a tax on all goods passing through the city. The fightover the new uni- form bills of lading, while apparently confined to the railroads, isin reality a desperate effort by the Chicago rail- roads (o make that city a basing point for all western shipments in transit. Dispaltches indicato that the western voads have entered intoa combine with Chicago merchants to prevent traffic heing billed through Chicago. If the conspirators succeed in bringing about this result, three million dollars a year will be wrung from the consumers of the west and placedin the pockets of Chicago sharlks, But thisis not the worst feature of the conspiracy against the prosperity of the west. By malking Chicago o basing point for traffic oviginating east thereef, the Jobbers of growing western cities would be placed at the mercy of Chicago job- Bers. Jobbers at the Missouri river would be placed at the disadvantage in adjacent trade territory, because Chi- cago, enjoying the favor of the corpora- tions, could undersell the home dealer at his own door, Such a system of diserimination should provoke o storm of protest which the corporations would not dare ignore, LS1MATES of the crop in the corn states vary greatly, That there will be a tremendous shrinkage in the harvest as compared with last year there is no doubt, The shrinkageis general, vary- ing fromn seventy per cent in Kansas to forty per cent in Missouri and Illinois. In thelist of corn states Towa stands highest, her crop being estimated at conty per cent of last year's, while Nebrska estimates range from thirty- five to fifty per cent of the crop of 1889. The estimates for this state are too low. While the region west of Kearney and . portions of the Republican valley have been blighted by hot winds, the more populous eastern counties escaped serious injury, and with a month of fav- orable weather will yield handsomely. The yield of the stato last year was about one hundred and seventy-five million bushels. Of this amount prob- ably one hundred and twenty-five mil- lion bushels werc marketed atan aver- age price of sixteen cents a bushel, re- alizing twenty million dollars, BEsti. mating this vear’s crop at fifty per cent of last year, or eighty-seven and a hall million bushels, the financial veturns at present prices Will exceed those of 1889 by filteen million dollars, Allof which proves that ashort crop isnot always a great calumity, T WhiLe there has been a great deal of stagnation inreal estate during the past eighteen months by reason of the un- cer and dang of further de- pression in case prohibition should carry, theve is nevertheless a gratifying volume of business recorded in the office of the register of deeds, During the first six months of the year Omaha reul es- tate transactions aggregated rine and a halfmillion dollars, an increanse of two million dollars over the same period of 1889, The record for July and three weeks of August, usually the quietest period of the year, shows a marked ad- vance over the same period last year, the footings for the past week reaching halfa million dollars, equal to an in- crease of forty per cent. No eity of equal population in the country affords such profitable opportunities for perma- nent investment. Prices of desirablo Business mky esidence property in Omaha do nof approach the speculative pricesof Denver, Kansas City and other inflated towns, The fact Is, the prices in Omaha havl never reached the boom Dusis prevalént tn the west, and this ex- plains the unshalen confidence of home and outside capitalists in Omaha real estate. While scores of builders are holding off i1l after theelection, the number of buildings under way equals that of last yenr. A majority of these are residences, a fact which strengthens Omaha’s right to the title, the City of Homes, T is painful to observe that the faith- ful in Towa npd Ilinois are being favored with federal commissions to go abroad, while sccond rato postoflices are doled out to the patriots of Nebuas POSTMASTER GALLAGHER not only willing but anxious to step down.

Jone Where Ohlo Stands. Clevland Leader, “Ohio must be anchored safely in the list of sure republicanstates,”” says the Pittsburg Commercial, “by the time the presidential campaign opens.” Hayvenoalarm, Ohio has not gone democratic once in a presidential contest during thelast thirty years. Nor has she endorsed a democratic administration during that time. Ohio will go republican this yearand next, and in '02 the Buckeye bourbons will be everywhere on the run. o WHO WAS GEO. WASHINGTON? Eh? Well, now, don't be too sure about it. If the father of his country should come back and run for president, and you had to write a campaign lifo of him maybe you might find that you did not know such an awful sight about him after all. What you wantin that casewould bea phinly written, trustworthy and understandable account of the immortal George's youth agd manhood, his training, his achievements, his character as a man; no cherry tree, or caunot tell alie business, but just the straight truth about him, what- ever ghost stories might be needed you could fix up tosuityourself. And the place where you could find allthis would be in the Ameri- canized Encyclopedia Britannica, Not the Encyclopedia Britannica, you un- derstand, but the Americanized Encyclopedia Brtannica; sounds pretty near the thing. but it is a mighty different thing, Same way with Franklin and Jefferson, and Hamiltn; with Patrick Henry, and John Hancock, and Francis Marion; with Henry Clay and Long John Wentworth. Look in the original Encyclopedia Britannica and you willfind some of them mentioned, buv mighty little more, and some of thom not even that—any one of the old Georges gets a colimn where an American man ets half a dozen words. But pick up the Americanized Encyclopedia Britannica and you w ill see the difference at once; the snuffy Georges take a back seaton thoir Engisn thrones, and the men of deeds and brains who made this western empire, are coming to the frout.
