It means the enlargement of ali ole- vators now here and the huilding of new ones. It means that Nebraska grades of | grain will bo officially recognized and | that the weights and inspections here will not be questioned. Itmeans that the Nebraska farmerand dealercan store hisgrain at a reasonable wrice, and use his warchouse receipts ns teral at the short time loans, at a rensonable rate of interest.

They must be mon of acknow ged skill in vetering matters, and they are to have full and free access to all departments of the slau ghter houses to which they are assigned where ani- mals are slaughtered or their carcasscs are converted into food products, All animals to bo slaughtered are inspected and if found diseased must bo con- demned. A post mortem examintion is also required and if discase app the removed and disposed ofin the manner provided by the laws of the state where the inspoction is made, As a further penalty for ovading the provisions of tho act, the inspector discharged and the establishmont will bo vefused cortificates of inspoction upon its products for such time as the sc stary of agriculture may think advisu- ble. All carcasses the packing house us dressed heef are stumped by the inspector with an official stamp and arecord is sent to the department of agriculture at Washington, All food products are to show the inspection stamp, That intended for foreign trade must be distinetly marked on the side and top with the official number of the packing establishment, its location, the name of the packer, 1ts net weight and contents and the namo of the consignes and point of destination, The regulations for the inspection of swine for export or interstate trade are lly strict and in addition a micro- scopic examination is mide for trichina. I'he inspector’s cortificate and the government stamp are the guaranty of the purity of the product or the health- fulness of the The certificate is issued in triplicate, one copy being do- livered to the consignor, a second to the department at Wasalngton and the third is attached to the invoico or ship- ping bill to be delivered bythe trans- portation companies to the chief officer of the vessel upon which ment is to be transportad. In conjunction with the regulations hitherto these become v eof- fective, and the foreign and inter. boef trade ought to be, and will be, ducted in such manner as to relieve pur- chasers from apprehension and provent dishonest firms from imposing disonsed meats upon the community, Already the Gorman governmont has indieated its willingness to accopt our boef pro- ducts upon these certificates and official stamps. The prospect is encouraging for the early removal of the prohibition upon pork, The unnouncement is madg that the German government has con- cluded to remove th bargo, but lacke confirmation, The mere removal of the prohibition in the face of Germany's in- spection law and the largoe foes of ine | spectors will not hiel p the market greatly, but thore resson to beliove that evi- | denco of good faith on the part of Ameor. arcass must be leaving equa the consign- issued | that it | & ruost fea will Tead toa mod tion of both the German inspection laws and the schedule of feesso that American pork can bo profitably shipped into the em- pire. STATL OF RECIPROCITY, The report that Venezuela will not ratify the reciprocity arrangement ef- fected at Washington is not surprising, | though disappointing, but the statoment | made on theauthority of Brazilian news: papers, that public sentiment in Brazil is overwhelmingly opposed to the re ciproeal agreement entered into botween that country and the United States will ¢ both surprise and disappointment, The leading paper of Rio, while tsell favoring the treaty, suggests might hetter be reject ed, for the reason that such an arrange- ment, to which the parties are not heartily inaccord, and which is not the frank expression of their mutual wishes, can of little walue. So far as the Brazilian government is concerned, it has given ever o of its inten- tion to aet in grood faith in careying out the terms of the arrangement, but with- out the cordial support of the com- mercial interests of the country the plan must necessarily have only a very lim- ited measure of success, Tt is quite possi- ctly represent the commercial sentiment. Of there is opposition, and it was 1, but it may not be so general as would be inferred from thestatemeonts of tho papers. The fact is, however, that formidable European has been brought to bear in Am with ble that the newspapers donot cor ex pect influsnce 1l South i countrd gainst rveciprocity the United States, and the v close relations which the financial intorests of those and commercia countries | havelong maintained with Europe, being largely controlied by Buropean capital, malkes re to this influence ex- tremely diflicult. Herein is perhaps the groutest the completo suc- il it is one which it will probably take a long time to over- come, Anotheris the necessity, which all those countries ave under, to obtain suflicient re venue from imports w pro- vido the of th eir govern- ment, and in the of some of them notably Venezacla and the Argontine Republic, to meet past due obligations. The financial pressure is so great upon them that they cannot afford to part with a single of and very generally the people of those coun- tries do not look far beyond the present and cannot be deeply impre ises of future advantages. tegarding o treaty with Spainprovid- ing for reciprocity with Cuba, there is reason 1o expeet that a satisfactory ar- rangement will he effe l. The strong pressure brought Lo hear upon the Span- ish government by the Cuban sugar in- terest, which urged rociprocity as abso- lutely necossary to suve it from ruin, and the eritical situation in theisland which followed the refusal of tho government to consider the proposition when first presented, led the Spanish ministry prepare a treaty for the consideration of our minister at Madrid and the specisl commissioner sent there. Nothing offi- cialis lkknown of the nature of the pro- posals to be submitted, but the carnest disposition manifested on both sides to negotinte a treaty warrants confidence that the result will be mutually satis factory. Our total imports from Cubain the last fiscal year reported, 1800, were to the value of nearly $54,000,000, while we exported to the island less than § 000,000 or about one-fourth of its total im- ports. Reciprocity would probably quad- ruple tho sale of our products to Cubu within a few ye The administration is disposed to dis- cuss the subject of reciprocity with Cy adain good faith, but not upon the lines which been suggosted by the Do- minion government. Unless these are materially extended, discussion of the question, which has been postponed until the president returns from his projectad western trip, will not be likely to lead to formal negotiations. e —— CENTURY OF INVENTION. For the next three days an alto unique centennial celebration held in Washington city. 1t w memorate the results of American in- ventive genius for 100 years, o period during which this country contributed more to the producing power and mate- rial progress of the world, and to the convenience and comfort of mankind, than was accomplishod in all the ages before of which history has presorved a Such r are cortainly worthy of a three days’ celebration, with all the oratory, music and popular en- thusiasm that can be erowded into that time. A people who have given so much to the world would be unjust to them- il they failed to glorify the achievements of their genius. The fist United States patent law went into effect April 10, 1790, so that the century was ended a year, but the iden of acelebration does not seem to have oceurred to anybody at the time, The proposition came from outside of oflicial circles, having its origin in the recognition of the marvelous results of our patent system and the influence which it has exerted upon our growth and development asa nation. It isin- toresting to note that under the orig- inal patent Law applications for patents were made to the wry of state, the socretary of war, and the attorney gen- eral, and these, or uny two of them, had the authority to issue a patent. It was not until the year 1836 that the patent oftice, with a commissioner at its head, was orented as a separate burean of the government. It was then attached to the department of state, but a fow years later was transferred to the department of the interior. The first patent granted was d July 81, 1700, and was for a process for making “'potand poarl ashes.” For the fivst three yoars the whole number of patents was 55, one of which wasto John Fiteh “for pro- pelling vessels by steam.” A fow years later this invention was improved upon by Robert Fulton and The cot- ton gin, one of the notable inventions of the century, was patented by W hitney in 1794, About the same time Thomas Perkins was pgranged th first patent in the United States for the manufacture of s, During the tiest 10 ars of patent law the whole number granted was 25, Twice that number are now issued each week. In obstacle to cess of reciprocity for support source revenuc od by prom- to other will 1 com- he record. sults selves m; others, the 10 years from 1880 to 1890 the num- | ber of patents issusd was 195,454, being more than eight hundred times the num- ber during the decade from 1790 to 1800, In the 46 years prior to the creation of thepresent systom the total was 9,057 — anumber now exceedod evory six months, It oxpected that this celebration will bo attended by large numbors of in- ventors and manufacturers of pat ented inventiong from every state inthe unlon, and one 8f (he results hoped to bo accomplished {8 to induce congress to provide more Iitiorally for the patent oflice.

At @ meeting of the Central labor union of Omaha held Friday, Mareh 27, the following resolution was unanimously adopted and sent to the governor Resolved, By the Central Omaha, that wo | the maximum fr bill, known as the wherry bill, to & and just bill I'herofora we most earnestly and respoctfully ask your ox the bull now under your couside cation. - World- Herald, Ihe above is pavaded as exprossive of the sentiments of the 15,000 mechanics and laborers of Omaha, Onceupon a time Three Tailors of Tooley street, in the eity of London met and resolved that “we the people,” de- mand things, But they only succeeded in making themsclves i ulous. We are informed that less than thirty workingmen wore present at the meeting when the resolutions wer railroaded through, When the walking delegates, who took it upon themselves o present the resolutions, were asked by the governor whether any of them was familiar with the provisions of the bill or had oven Lover tho bill, mitted their utter ignorance. They also admitted that nobedy at the meeting of the Central labor union knew uny more about the bill than they did. In other words, they admitted that the resolutions were introduced and adopted without consideration of the merits of the bill or its beurings upon the railvoads or ship- is labor union of ht o fair fov slloncy to sign cortain eredibly ance ad- pers. It will scarcely be contended by any member of the Central labor union that hasty and ill-considered action should have been accepted as an ex pression of the wishes of the work- ingmen of Om, On the contrary, the 15,000 workin men of Omaha will feel that the action of a handful of members of the Central labor union was rash and ill-advised, When traced down to its source it will transpire that theresolutions originated inthe World-Herald office and were en- gineered through by some printers who wanted to help their kid-gloved boss to raise anti-monopoly wind. such THE COMMERCTAL SITUATION. Dun's commercial agency reports 3,545 failures. with liabilities of $42,167, 631 for the quartor ending March 31, 1891. The number is increased by 222 and the liabilities by less than $4,500,000 over the corresponding peciod of 1890, There is, however. but a slight differ- ence in the showing for the years 1888, 1859, 1800 and 1891, The liabilities vary from 000,000 to #43,000,000 for the first quartor of the four years numed. and the number of firms involved varies from 2,950 to 3,545, It was Lo be expeeted that the tight- ness of the money market the past quarter would drive a largo numbor of firms into bankruptey. It is observed, however, that they ave generally small trade Canada shows about the same business conditions for the sume yoars, illustrating the close ntions between Brisish America and this union notwithstanding the lack of reciprocity, Mostof the losses appear to have oc- curved in the west and south, The 1i vilities of bankrupts in the southern states for the quarter are 810, inst #5,003,956 in 1890, In the west- exist g bilities is about $3,000,000.
