This is the rankest specimen of political rot ever exhibited on the stump, If these political farmers had their way they would doubtless shut out the millions of foreign money now being invested in America’s surplus grain, cotton and meat. PLANS for congressional junkets after adjournment are developing. Among the number already proposed there is a painful absence of ‘the annual investiga- tion of the Pacifie railroads. For some mysterious reason these favorite politi- cal junket routes hava been overlooked. The omission is all the more inexplica- Dble for the reason that the roads are in splendid shupe to enlighten careworn statesmen, and the commissary depart- ment was never in better condition to decorate and stimulate the interior de- partments of congressional bodies, But there is yot time to rectify theoversight, and give the popular lunch routes a show, “ 1 kots of the southern o DA NOT TO BE IGNORED. T'he spirit of reciprocity is all-pervad- ing. While eertain statesmen are con- contrating thelr attention upon the mar- ntinent, others are equally aaxious to offect more inti- mate trade relations with our northern | neighbor, Thore is n desire to solicit | Canada toenter into the great schemo of reciprocal trade which is expacted to afford our farmers and manufacturors an outlet for thair surplus prolucts, and undoubtedly the people of the Do- winion will be given to undorstand, if they do not understand alveudy, that this country is pared to offer them very favorable torms for a commorcial arrangement that will be mutually satis- factory, Theamendment to the tariff bill pro- posed by sman s in this di- vection, It provides that whenever the president shall have offic information of a desive on the part of the Dominion government to enter into commercinl arrangements v the United States that ult in the complete or partial r W of the duties upon trade between and the Uniteld States, he shall t commissioners to confor with representatives of Cannda vegarding a method to ef the proposed obje A similar p fon has heretofore been presented in congress, and though it has encountorad opposition on the ground that the last reciprocity arrange- ment with Canada wasnot to the advan- tage of the United States, a contention which the facts do not sustain, such is the tendency in favor of 1« ity be- n this country and all others in the phoere, that undoubtedly the proposal regarding Canada will be adopted. So far as Senator Sherman is ned, ho is a very promiuent advo- ate of admitting Canada to considera- tion in this particular, having not very long ago expressed the opinion that it was a quostion of only a few years when Canada. would be eithe commer- cinlly or politically in the most intimate relations with the United States. It is not quostionable that there is a very considerable sentimont the inion in full sympathy this view Such being the sftuation, esting to note the present condition of the United States and ting to the reportsof the sury do- partment for 18589, this country exported to Canada merchandise valued, in round numbers, at thir cight million dollars, while the imports from Canada amounted to a le less than forty-two million dollas This shows a bilanca of about four mil- lion dollars nguinst us, but ns our ox- ports are not carafully recorded, there being no duties upon them, the statistics of the Canadiun government are more trustworthy. These show n lavge bal- ance of trade in our favor, amounting to nearly thirtesn million dollavs. The aggregate yaluo of our trade with Canada in 188) was eighty million dol- lars, or twenty milliens _gueeater than the country of South America with which we have the largest commerce. In view of this and other obvious facts not less important, there would seom to be excellent reasons why Canada should not e ignored in consid- ng a policy of commercinl reciprocity with the countrios of this hemisphere, AN IMPORTANT DECISION, The secretary of the interior has ren- dered a decision of vast impovtance to the mineral states of the west, The question involved theright of land grant railronds to all mineral land within their respective grants. Daspite the fact that congress excopted “mineral land” from the terms of the grants, the railronds maintained that the exeeption referred only to known mineral lands at tho date of the passage of the law. In deciding the test case, brought up on ap- peal by the Central Pacitic railroad, tho secretary holds that by the tarms of the grant all minoral lands are exeopted from its oparation, whether ornot known to be of a mina; character at the date when the raiiroad company’s rights at- tached under the grant, if they ave dis- sovered to bamineral lands at any time before the issuance of a patent to the company or cortification whore patent-is not requived. In effect the decision givesthe discoverer prior elaim to min- eral land, for which a patent had not been issued to the railroad. It will set- tle avastnumbor of like claims, invol ing mineral lainds of incaleulable value, especially in Monatana, where tha Novth- ern Pacific claims whole mining camps on the grounds that its rights attached the moment its land grant boundary was defined. Apart from the importance of the d on to minews, it will have the offect of expoditing the taking out of patents and subjecting land grants to local te i o conee in with it is inter- 4 DOMINANT TENDENCY. The New York Sun remarks that the dominant commercial tendency of our timeis coalition, and it thinks the most interesting manifestation of the tend- ency is offerod by the railroads, We have noted the rvemarkablo prozvess that has been made within a fow years in railroad consolidation, promising to bring the entire railrond systom of the country at no very remote date under the control of a few corporations, and our contempo vy also noting this movement, regards it as expedient. The Sun seys there is nothing more probable thun that in tho very near future the New York Central, with all its magnitude, will be only a link ina chain, bearing the same proportion to tha whole that any one of its own little links did to the present great line from Buffalo to New York., It exprosses the opinion that the consolidation of the Central with the Lake Shore is inev- itable and cannot be much longer deferred, and it will be followed, if it is not preceded, by a coalition with the Chieago & Northwestern and Union Pacific, with the resultof asingle and continuous property from New York to Puget sound, The Pennsylvania rail- road is not likely to see an arrangement of this kind consummated without en- deavoring toachieve an equal adyantage by obtaining control of properties now independent and antagonistic, The con- solidation of the whole southern system is now projocted with the probability THE OMAHA DAILY BEE SEPTEMBER 3 1890. of early accomplishment. ““There will be, perhaps,” says the Sun, *“four great transcontinental systems with transverse dependencies dependent upon the com- petition with natural waterways and tho necessity of deaining the commerce of the | contro of the continent and the south- | west to the gulf. The shortest railroad to the longest haul by water will prevail against all other competition.” rcumstances certainly justify the st of the Swn, and it is undoubtedly rect in saying that the results will be revolutionary and far-reaching, but it is not so easy to agree with n«npininn that the tendency it points out is expedient. On the contrary, there are very sound | reasons for bolieving that it may bo | pregnant with danger to the best inter- ests of the country and the people. EXPLORATION OF ALASKA. The development of Alaska in popula- tion and trade within the past halfa dozen years has been far more rapid than the most sanguine could have antie- ipated at the time this tervitory was purchased from Russia, The last roport of the secrotary of the treasury statoes the volume of trade to be not less than ten million dollars, and constantly grow- ing. Gold, silver, lc zine, and othor minerals are found | in the torritory, and many de- posits of conl. These sources of wealth have heen reached with comparatively little exploration, and it is reasonable j0se that what has been discovered no means represents the full riches of Ily remarkable countr, It is ved that in the unknown regions of thore may be sources of wealth equal to any yet disclosed The proposal that this tevritory should bo thoroughly oxplored has been discussed for several and it is again being a more favorable prospect of securing the requived authority and appropria- tion from congr The plan of Gen- eral Cuteheon, chairman of the military committee of the housa, is to organize an expadition undor the command of of- ficers of the army, and to thoroughly equip it for the prosecution of a pro- longed exploration from which would be obtained an accurate knowledge of the topography of the country, its re- souvces and cap; stated that th ot wtily approves the project e milit ommittes of the house takes a favorable view of it. ho proposed exploration may not bo dored this year, bacause the present disposition in cong is not to incur xpenditures that can safely be deferred, but reports from Washington rezarding the matter warrant the opin- ion that such an expedition will be ordered at the next session, and that liberal provision will be made for it. Alaska has thus far beona very profit- able investment for the government, and itisnot to be doubted that its yet un- known resources will very greatly in- crease its value. Tur August reduction of the publin debt doss not come up to the ave owing tothe vast sums required to pay 1 interest on bonds and like obligations. But the figures do not vep- ant the actual reduetion. Tho sums withheld to pay for bonds called in should bo properly eredited to the total. When we comparo the public debt today with the amount at the close of the the marvelous recuperative powers of the nation may bo measuved. In 1866 the public debt reached its highost level, amounting to two and three- quarter biltion dollara. Less available cash in the trensury, the debt now amounts to eight hundred and seventy- five millions, a reduction in twenty-four rs of one Dbillion eight hundred and sight million dollars, With the possible exception of the fiscal opera- tion of I'rancoe following the IFranco- Prussian war, no nation inthe world can furnish a pavallel for the financial strength of the United States, o THERE is no danger that any school board will ever attempt to pull down the high school building, Such talk is mere gabble. The proposed onesstory brick structure in the rear of the high school will be at best a temporary affair, It will help to bridge over the dilemma in which the board finds itself now for want of accommodations for the primary rades of the Central school. The rons of the Central school would cer- tainiy prefer to have their children rtered on the ground floor of a building that is well ventilated and supplied with commodious exits than to have them climbing up three or four stories into the tower of the high school building. In due time “when the board is placed in position to purchase suitable grounds in the vicinity alarge and more ubstantial school house will bo erected. From a financial standpoint the tompor- y school house is more economic than renting somo private residence or store and converting it into a school house at large expense.
