Ttis understood that the sugges- tion of a meoting proceeded from Mr. Jay Gould, and it is not difficult to infer what its objects are. Doubtless the first thing sought will be some sort of an arrangement for a better agreement between the transportation magnates than it has yet been found possible to offect, and it may safely be presumed that the projector of the conference will have an ingenious plan to present for consideration. If this can be accom- plished the next thing to be done will be a readjustment of railrond tariffs on a basis to be determined by the question of railroad profits, with very little reference to the. interests of the public. The long-maintained conflict between tern ronds has been costly, and slagi of harmenizing them will un- doubtedly involve an effort to recover this loss, This would necessarily mean an advance in transportation rates, and if an agreement can be made between the presidents that will hold, the policy is very likely to bo one of progressive higher tariffs so long as trafc will bear it. It will be interesting’ in this connoc- tion to refer to the opinions of Mr. Aldace F. Walker, chairman of the In- torstate Commerco Railway assoeiation, as expressad In a letter written a fow wecks ago and just made public. While believing that the legislative attitude of congress and the states is injurious and unjust to the railwaysof the country, Mr, Walker says the difficulties under which they labor are not wholly due to that cause, and he sees nothing to pre- vent the immediate adoption of reforms which will greatly improve exist- ing conditions. The root of the matter is compotition, and after describing the way in which it is carried on, lavgely in violation of the law, Mr. Walker de- clares it to be competition gone mad. Such wild and reckless business methods, he says, ave not in the interestof the public and are ruinous to the railway system., Railway managers should recog- nize the essential unity of railroad in- terests and act accordingly, the presi- dents having the power by concur- rent action to put an end to every species of unfair competition. Every roud has kept itself fully prepared for fighting; what is now needed, 1 the opinion of Chairman Walker, is a new treaty based upon disarmawment. The lines should rid themselves of the ma- chinery for rate ¢ ull.m[;, there should be concentration of authority and unifica- tion of interest, and a prominent factor should be stability of rates. «In this way, Chairman Walker thinks, the net revenues of every line would be pro- tected and at the same time the public would be better served. Very likely the deliberations of the coming conference of presidents will be in parton lines laid down in this letter of Chairman Walker, and it is quite »os- sible that more radical suggestions than he presents will be udopted. But in any event the meeting promises to be of un- usual importance, and the result will he awaited with very great interest in rail- way circles and by the business public. THE [MPLEMENT TRUST. Secretary Jerry Rusk does not like the looks of the new trust in farm im- plements and says so plainly. He is a sincere friend of the farmers and uses u\l his energy and intelligence in their est through the workingsof the ultural bureau. The implement trust is one of the lat- est born of that prolific mother, Monop- oly. Its initinl manifesto stated that the reason for its existence was the hope that a concentration of the interests of all manufacturers of farm implements would enable them to produce economi- cally and thereby give the public' the benefit of lower prices. This was re- ceived at the time as a piece of grim humor, and Secretary Rusk furnishes good evidence of its disingenuousness. He asserts that its real object is to raise the prices of farming machinery, and adds: *I have the information from an authoritative source, because I had an opportunity to take some stock and know what inducements were offered.” Impartial observation had led the public to believe that farm machinery was one of the prosperous branches of trade that was not suffering from *‘ruin- ous competition,” and therefore did not stand in need of any artificial stimulants, such as are found in the organization of trusts, Secretary Rusk reiterates in strong language the old charge that American implements are offered for sale in Russia, Australia and other wheav-growing countries cheaper than at home. He says that our farmers have o right to complain when, in the face of such facts, a trust is organized to raise still higher the prices of imple- ments in America. Most people will agree with the secre- tary in these matters. The best informa- tion thus far received is to the effect that the implement manufacturers diserimi- nate against the home market. No ex- pert testimony is needed on the results to be expected from the formation of the trust, which has eliminated competition and gained the power to fix prices. Of course the prices willbe **what the traffic will bear.” In the meantime the people will be thinking how they can best get at the ereedy monopolists who set at defiance all national laws of trade in order to enjoy an unnatural prosperity for them- selves, WILL NOT BE REMOVED. By a.very decisive majority the house of represcntatives rejected the senate joint resolution relative to the removal of the remains of General Grant from Riverside Park, New York, to Arling- ton. It had been stated that there was an overwhelming majority of the house in favor of the resolution, which passed the senate at its last session, but when it came to a vote the supporters of the demand for the removal of the great sol- dier’s remains were able to muster only 92, while the opposition voted 153, Now York congressmen had evidently labored to some purpose, bringing to their assistance both republican and democratic votes, but chiofly the lat- ter, The resolution was simply in the nature® of & request to Mrs, Grant to allow a reinterment at The | THE OMAHA DAILY BER, ‘Washington, and it was offered in the belief that she was willing and ready to give her assent to a propesal thi for- mally made in the name of the govern- ment and in accordance with geuneral public opinion. The action of the house will doubtless put an end, fora considerable time at least, to all controversy and effort velat- ing to the removal of General Grant’s remains and the result will bs disap- pointing to a very great majority of the people, and also, there is every reason 1o beliave, to the family of the great sol- dier. Had public opinion been con- sulted in the first placo the bones of the conquerer of the rebollion would never havo reposed where they do, and doubtless none soe more clearly or fool more keenly the mistake that was made in not regarding popular sentiment than the widow and children of General Grant, It would seom that the mistake is now beyond remedy, and all that can be done is to make public disapproval of the faithless- ness of Now York in this matter as strong as possible, in the hopo of so arousing the pride and self-respect of her poople that they will make an carnest and por- sistent effort to carry out their pledge to the country to mark the resting place of the great soldier by a monnment worthy of his achiovements. Unfortun- ately there is little in past experience to oncourage the hops that public con- demnation of New York's faithlessnoss will have any effeet, and the latest re newal of her pledge will very likely mount to no more than did the original promise that the tomb of Grant should be the site of a monumeat that would fitly perpetunte his memory and worthily express the gratitude of his countrymen, RAILROAD POL IDATIO. The Union Pacific railroad, according to a late dispateh from Boise City, ha gone into politics in Tdaho. It is stated that one of its well known attorneys has gone to the eapital for the purpose of openly opposing the election of ex-Dele- gato Dubois, the most po * man in Idaho, to the United States sonut This news is iuteresting not only to the people of Idaho, but to all the states on the line of the Union P stem, It is the first opportunity which the new masters of the road have had to show their methods, and every man who is familinr with the former management of Gould and Dillon will rocognize their old characteristies in the Idaho de- velopment. It is evident that they intend to assert their power in polit W to endeavor to make subs to theiv interests the indis- pensable condition of the election of men to high office. They have begun in Idaho on the very first page of her his- tory as a state, and tho people of other western states will wait with interest to see whether the arcogant railrond bosses can knock out a man who has fai his senatorship by splendid servic securing statehood for his people. The audacity which Jay Gould has displayed in the organization of his gi- gantic railroad trust is amazing. He has chosen for the execution of his long- cherished plan the very hour when pub- lic sentiment is aroused against corpor- ato aggression. In i his hands on the virgin politics daho he chooses the most conspicuous and the most exasperating method of achieving his ends so far as they are related to the general governmont, Against the ove ‘whelming sentiment of public disapproval he arrays his money and power, with apparent confidence in the outcome. If Jay Gould were a member of the Farmers’ Alliance and in sympathy with the reformers who demand the most radical railroad legislation, he could not possibly pursue a course more cer- tain to stimulate and sustainthose move- ments than that which he has already marked out for himself. Let the people keep thelr eyes open and their powder dry. 170 BE REOPENED, It is stated from Washington that something important is likely soon to transpire in connection with the Behr ng sea controversy, and the opinion is said to be expressad by parsons holding close rolations to departmont diplo- matic circles that the governments of the United States and Great Britain must soon come to an agreement or an open rupture on this subject. There is is little promise of the former and per- haps no great danger of the latter. The termination of negotiations last summer was due to the fact that the state department declined to accept the proposition made by the British govern- ment for a further investigation of the matter. The government of the United States was unwilling to proceed either in the way of an investigation or the ap- pointment of & commission on tho basis proposed by Great Britain, The British proposil in part involved a concession which in the opinion of the secretary of state would have been a partial surven- der of the claim which the United States has made ever since Alaska was ceded by Russia, and upon the state depart- ment informing the British mml-m,r at Washington that the concession asked for or involved would not be granted by the United States the formal negotin- tions were brought to a close, although it is understood there has since been considerable correspondence on the sub- ject. It is now stated that in view of the well authenticated reports of the serious damage to the seal fisheriesby Canadian poachers the state department is deter- mined to push this controversy to a con- clusion. The recent roport of Prof. El- liott of the Smithsonian institute, who is an expert as to the fur sealbusiness, re- garding the condition of the seal fish- eries, in which he states that the seals are rapidly diminishing, is said to have strongly impressed Secretary Blaine, who had before believed that statements to this effect were oxaggerated. Ac- cordingly, the state department is said to contemplate avigorous departure for the next season if, before that time, some adjustment shall not be reached between the two governments. It is be- lieved that the British government is also prepaved to make a vigorous de- parture in the event of the United States attempting to enforce its claimsas to a close sea for the entire tervitory in which the seals congregate. The state department {s preparing to reopen con- foronces on the dubject and is gathering new informatiog, to be used whenever ne- gotiations are fesumed. A sol-llemv‘ t this controversy is cer- tainly very My$h to be desired, both in tho interest of peace between the two countries and the preservation of the fur senl from extermination, but it is hardly possible that #tisfactory arrangement will ever be petiehed by negotintion bo- tween the twp ‘governments, The ques- tion will findlly have to bo settled by arbitration, df kettled without disturb- anee to the peageful relations of the two countries, and it fs not to bo doubted that the intelligent sentiment of this country would approve its submission to a disinterested arbitrator acting upon tho representations of a trustworthy commission having authority to thor- oughly investigato the whole case, OMAHA AS A TAXPAYER.
