A few days ago ThE B! directed the attention of the furmer to the warehouse Iaw and suggested that the alliances of thoe state should investigate its terms and prepare to take advantage of the opportunities if offers to the farmers of the state. The suggestion has already borne fruit. The local newspapers are giving the subject intelligent attontion and doubtless the alliances will likewise consider it. The warehouse bill was introduced and passed by people in nowise connected with the farmers’ organization, but it is novertholss the most important meas- to that class of citizens which was enacted into a law by the last legisla- ture. Itisa form of relief which has greatly aided the grain and produce growers and dealers in older states and promises important results in Nebraska. It not a scheme for enriching middlemen, though it will la in- crense the volume of business transacied I brokers and on dealers at grain and produce centers. It is pri- marily, however, a law from which the producer will realize the most advantage if the producer will but avail himself of the opportunities it offer: Every grain elevator. warehouse and store house in Nebraska becomes common property to the extent that the producer may offor his product for storage upon payment of a reasonable compensation for the privileges, Mo alliances of the state can and should ercet storchouses for tho benefit of the farmers. The problem of housing his product is one of great importance to the producer. Much of the grain sicked from the ck is immediately sold for want of granaries. Undor the warehouse law this may be stored in a public elevator or granary to await the pleasuro of the farmer. If such elevators are tho joint property of farmers the sto harges can be reduced to the minimum of actual cost for handling and insurance. Upon the grain in such storchouses money can be borrowed if v, pending the time when the price is satisfac tory to the is commi gy market owner. The great difficulty when the coming crop is harvested will be to find storage forit. Tothis feature of the case the farmers should themselves turn their attention. The alliance, if it will provide increased stor- age cupacity at local railway stations for the grain to be garnered, will do u far greater service to the peo- ple than by clecting a few county of- ficer: Later, provision should also be made to carty the corn over for the May mar- ket, which is usually far better than that of January, in which month Nebrasku corn is usually sold. The first thing, however, for the people to do is ta pre- pare for the small grain, which will be ready for market in August and Sep- tomber, The new law deserves to bo ex- amined and its opportunities'should not be neglected. BEET SUGAR PRODUCTION. The progross of beet sugar production abroad, under the stimulus of liberal bounties, is the subject of a recent re- port to the state department by one of our consuls. It is interesting as an il- lustration of what may be accomplished by reasonable government encourage- ment of an industry in which all classes of the people are concerned, and refer- ence to it is timely in view of attacks on the sugar bounty law of the last con- gress. It appears that in 1850 the beet sugar production of the world was 1,774, 000 tons, and five years later it had increased to 2,516,000 tons, ex- coeding the production of cane sugar. Last year there was produced of haet sugar 3,300,000 tons, more than doublo the amount of canesugar, and European countries paid hounties as follows: France, $17.000,000; Germany, 316, 000,000; Austro-Flungary, $5,000,000; Belgium, $4,000,000, and Holland, $3,- 000,000. Germany has recently had undor con- sidoration the question of reducing the hounty, and England has endeay- ored to institute a movement for a general abrogation of bounties, but no action has deen taken and production continues to increase, the indications being that the crop this year in Kurope will be larger than ever before. A greater acreage has been planted, and estimates of the yield vary from three million seven hundred and fifty thousand to four million tons. With an inereased production of cape sugar this article of necessity ought to be cheaper noxt year to comsumers than over before. The region which it is believed beet can be successfully cultivated and in which a large portion of Nobraska is embraced, is thought to be capable of producing sufficient to supply the home demand, and it is con- fidently predicted by those who have given intelligent study to the matter that with proper encouragement the United States within 10 yemrs will coase to import sugar. At any rate the industry is of such importance to our farmers and people generally as to de- sorve all reasonable encourngement for its dovolopment. in this country in the sugar THE IMMIGRATION | g Interest in the immigration question appears to be unabated, and the indica- tions increase that a stronger pressure for more restrictive legislation will be brought to bear ou the next than was exporienced by the last congress. Fx- Congressman McAdoo of New Jersey contributes a vigocous article on this subject to the curvent number of Zhe Forum, and leading newspapers con- tinue to give the matter such prominent attention as evidences an estimate of its commanding importance, A lead- ing republican organ of Ohio says that the republican state conven- tion soon to be held will declare in favor of enlarging the restrictions on fmmi gration, and doubtigss all the party platforms of the yoar will have expros- sions on the subject. The large increase in the immigration of the present year as compared with last explains the active interest in the question. The arrivals during the first threo months of this year -were over 61,000 in excess of the same period lust “nual yoar, and the increased rate seems to bo maintained. It is claimed, also, that the proportion of undesirable persons coming in is greator than for soeveral previous years. If this is tho cnse it is becauso tho law s not being well enforced, and the remedy will come as s00n as the administration shall have made provision for assuming full and ef- ficient control of immigration at all ports. The treasury department, which has control of this matter, is presumed to be proceeding is rapidly as practic- abie with the preparations for a thor- ough and rigid inspection, and there is overy reason to exnect that in the porformance of this duty the law will be given tho broadest construction of which it is capable. The president and secretary of the treasury do not sympathise with the views of the advo- cates of extrome restriction, but they undoubtedly believe that the require- ments of the new imm'gration ' law are sound and essential, and there can be no doubt of their intention to have them faithfully enforced. Meantime no harm can coms from in- telligent and unprejudiced discussion of this question, the impor s of which it would not be easy to overdstimate. THE Beg believes that the country cannot now afford to exclude worthy foreigners who came hoare to make homes, to as- similate with our people, to give their industry to the materinl development of the country, and tobecome consumers of the products of our farms and Thero can be no danger, indus- trial, social or political, from the addi- tion to our population of such people, however lerge. Only aarrow selfishness would deny to the able-bodied and will- ing workers of other lands the opportu- nities which this country still has to offer. ries, THE TREASURY AND THE BANKS. The consultation between the se tary of the trensiry and the New York bankers, regarding the extension of 4} per cent bonds which mature in Scptember, did not result quite as the secretary doubtless hoped it would. As already reported in the dispatches, the bankers wore unani- mous in the view that to renew the bonds at a less rate than 2 perc cent could not fail to ba promotive of depre- values of the bonds them- was urged that the an- profit on circulation against a bond bearing 2 per cent per annum, which would be 4.10 per cent of the face of the bonds, assuves par in market for 2 per cent bonds, The assurance of loss on circulation secured by bonds bearing 13 per cent per annum would leave it ques- tionable whether par is to be always obtainable for bonds extended at a lower rate of interest than 2 psr cent por an- num. It was submitted thatif the bonds were extended at 2 per cent there would likely be an increase of tho national bank carrency to meet unusual needs this fall. There was no doubt of the willingness of the bankers who participated in the consultation to have the bonds extended at a rate of interest which would keep them at par and not force a contraction of the currency, and it is to be presumed that both these conditions are desired by the president and sccretary of the treasury. It would manifestly be un- wise toadopt a policy which might re- sult in reducing the face value of bonds below par, and it is most important in present circumstances to avoid a contraction of the currency. The entire question hinges upon the necessity of keeping to us firm o status as possible the volume of circulation in preparation for the movement of the vear’s crops, which promise to be of im- mense volume. Secretary Foster stated emphatically in the conference that the government could pay off all the bonds maturing and have a baiance in the treasury, incopendent of the gold re- serve, but he evidently thought it to be the part of prudence to extend the bonds belong- ing to the banks as security for circulation, save intorest, strengthen the treasury, and provent the reduction of the volume of national bank notes. To redeem the bonds would force the banks to choose between’ surrendering their charters or replacing the matured bonds with the high-priced 4 per cents, and it is altogether probable that most of them would elect the former. Secretary Fost id to have been favorably impressed by the views pro- sented to him, but he would not commit himself until he had consulted with the president. A definite statement of the policy of the treasury in this im- portant matter may be expectéd. at any time, and it is probably. safe to prediet that it will be an offer to extend the maturing bonds at 2 per cent interest, payable at the pleasure of the govern- ment. The welfure of the treasury and of the business of the country-is of chief concern in this mattor, and, this will be subsarved by a course which will at once strongthen the treasury and prevent a loss of currency by the withdrawal of bank notes. The west is peculiarly in- terested in this question from the fact that the bulk of the maturing bonds is owned by western banks, o S s CI1Y OW HIP OF GAS WORKS. Municipal government is a topic to which the brightest writers on social and political economy ave directing their attention. [t is a very importan€ ' prob- lem, affecting as it does the welfare of by far the largoest property interests of the country and a rvapidly increasing proportion ‘of its population.” ‘Among the sub-topics which are to be considered in connection with the main_question . is public ownership of the facilitics for lighting the cities and supplying them with wate Prof. Edward W. Bemis of Vanderbilt university has been making a personal investigation of the subject of municipai ownership of gas works. His report is to be submitted to the American Eco- nomic association, In advance of' its publication by that organization Prof. Bemis contributes an avticle to tho New York Independent relative to his inves- tigations at nine cities in which publie ownership has beon tested for a long riod of years. Philadelphin, Rich- mond, Va., Alexandria, Va., Henderson, Ky., Wheeling, W, Va., Bellefontaine, 0., Danville, Va., Charlottesville, Va., and Hamilton, O., are the cities from whose experience the professor con- oludes public qwpseship o bo desirablo and successful’ “Fhe cost varies from 40 conts at Whdsting to #1.14 at Dan- ville.

The cost is of waurse determined by the price at which.copl may be secured. Of these nine citigé'all but two have paid for ‘heir workgiit of their net receipts. The charge togonsumors is $1.5) except in Wheeling, whore it is half that, and in Bellefontaing,'0., where it is $1. There are difficulties in the way of the publie ownership of the lighting plants in western cities which will probably postpone action looking in that direc- tion for a long period. The plants have cost more money than similar establish- ments in older cities, and the long dis- tance from the fuel supply make the e pense of producing gas largely in excess of that in the cast. The public in- provements which have been gradually acquired by eastern centers of population must be rapidly created in the newer ities of the wost. The result is that the paople prefer to leave the light and water supply to the enterprise of cor- porations in order that all available funds may ho utilized in othor nocessary improvements. Novertheless the time is coming when westorn citios, and Omaha in particular, will agitate the subject of public ownership of both. Kansas City has rocently voted bonds with which to control her own water- works. Chicago and many othor west- orn cities own the water plants. Fow have taken charge of the lighting busi- ness, but the samo reasons for desiring to own the waterworks will be used as arguments for extending public owner- ship to the lighting plants. LOWER CALIFORNIA belongs natur- ally to the United States, but it was not included in the cession which gave to the American republic the Mexican province of Alta California. From time to time negotiations for its purchase have been suggested, but Northern Cal- ifornia and Mexico have been hostile to the idea. The former for fear the ac- cession would bring ahout a division of the state, and the latter on the general proposition that no more terri- tory shall be ceded. The peninsula is now practically controlled by the nglish ~ and a London company has just completed arrangements to con- struet a railway from San Diego to Sun Quentin, 142 miloy. The patriotic citi- zens of southern: California regard the movements of the English syndicate with a great déal,of suspicion. Tt is not unlikely their manipulation of affairs in Lower Californiawill eventually breed diplomatic difficulties. The peninsula has about threethundred miles of ocean coast and controls the gulf of California, & great land-1g¢Ked sea, which, in the event of trouble “between America and England or any:South American coun- tey, would be & Kaven of refuge for hos- tile fleets whidh “would make America no end of trouble. THE Itata indident grows in confusing intevest. *If vhi” little ship is returned to San Diego and its officers and crew ave tried and convicted of violating the neutrality laws, what then? The vessel and its entive cargo are not worth the cost of pursuit, capture and conviction. The more the facts are developed the more ridiculous appears the whole sen- sation, Yet, it is havdly possible for the government to do anything less than carry out the programme outlined. If the insurgents win in Chili, we shall have their enmity. If they lose, we shall scarcely cxpect Balmaceda to offer us thanks. The situation is decidedly embarrassing. The Itata is a good deal of a Tartar. It would be a great relief to the navy department to be informed just how to let her go unpunished and at, the same time preserveour national dig- nity. ' NEWSPAPERS are like Providence in thatthey help those that help themselves. This suggestion naturally grows out of the contemplation of the assessment aquestion. The newspapers have pointed the way to reform and urged it in season and out of season. The evils of our sys- tem can only be_corrected by the efforts of the people. They must make piiblic sontiment felt for the correction of the inequalities. The opportune moment for giving the officials an object lesson in the matter is presented. The news- papers ave ready to help the people if they will help themselv. THE Omaha Real Estate Owners’ asso- ciation might make a practical applica- tion of its articles of incorporation by as- signing one of its committeos to the gen- eral subject of taxation. That commit- teo could glean a vast amount of inform- ation from the wussessment rolls and v veal to the genoral organization a great many facts unfavorable to our present inequitable aud harmful ‘system of col- lecting revenues.

The only witness against them was the stranger from Denver named Wil son, who is after a job on_the police force. Tho stranger testified that he went to the drug stores of these various gentlemen and without a prescription secured half a pint of whisky at each place. On the strength of this téstimony the four druggsts were fined. Ray paid his fine, but 1t is reported that the othier threo druggists will take an appeal Aloxander aud Woempner, who are also under arrest, secured continuances until to- morrow.

I found the railway aun mous in their belief that tho fall busice s would be better thau it has been for years, and would 80 continue durinz tho win- ter. The difforence botween the Rock Island and the Northwestorn statements, one coin ing on tho 3d of the month and tho other the 4th, is a vigorous commontery upou tho opposite theories of railway _ management Not 50 many years ago the roads wost of Chi cago were entirely free from the liquidating processes in rates which have been going on between Chicago and the seaboard for tho past ten years, and which have roduced tho rates on tho truuk linos about 50 por cont in that period. The western managors argued that the Middlo states wore not paying, but the: territory through which thoy ran had not yet filled up with population, nor had fts resources been at all developed, so that the growth of business from these sources would prevent their betng compelled to meot tho conditions which had so radically changed the affairs of the castern rouds. everal of tho westorn roads, and among them the Itock Islana and tho Northwestori, more conspicuously, were earuing at that time nearly, if not” quite doubie, the amount of their regular dividends, It was then that the management of the Northwestern said that there was danger at st that the eastern experience might ex- of Chicago and that it was best in time of prosperity. to prepare for such an emergency. So all the carnings above tho regular dividond of 7 per cont upon the and 6 upon the common stock, wero put into the road in the place of borrowing money for betterments and oquipt Tu this way many millions of dollars which wero required to produce new rolling stock and miles of side tracks and_double tracks wera taken from the net earnings for that purpose, s0 that when the lquidating process was ade with the systems west of Chicago the Northwestorn was able to hold its own, and its statement for tho year shows that it carned its dividends, and “though it was af- fected with the others, proportionately, the 1oss in the business had only affected a sur- plus over and above the dividends. The Rock Island, on the contrary, capitalizod its enrn- ing power, with the result that when it nad to faco present conditions its loss of net sarnings forced the reduction of dividends which ~ has beon so disappointing w0 its stockhoiders. It is to bo said,~“¥ however, for tho managers who adopted this policy ~ that unless there ovoroniding of rallvonds i the wast, th natural growth of the country will give a vol- umo of business suflicient to cause a constant increase of earnings, even upon present low rates, as it is thoroughly understood among railroad men that agrecments between com- peting lings for the matiitonance of ratos wil be more closely adhered to m the future than been before. My observations, which reached this time only through Illinois and Ohio, confirmed tho | impressions which I received in a more ex- toasive triv of some months ago as to the brilliant prospects for crops this year. With the failure of crop, which s now almost as- sured in Europe, the Umted States must have a largo exvort of coreals at lent prices and the £0,000,000 ingold _which has gone over there récently must come back to pay for it, because our exports will bo large- v in excess of our imports during the com- ing yeur. Business men in all branches that Icame in contact with, many of them, said that business couditions wern never sufer or moro couservative thau at present.
