A., THE experience of Philadelphia and a few other cities in this country suggests the question whether or not a bank ex- aminer really oxamines. A NEW electric light company vor offers to furnish arc lamps at $8.75 per month. The old company demands $12.50. Omaha pays $14.59 per month. No doubt Mr. George Hicks would make & competent member of the board of public works, but unless one of tho two domocrats will resign his politics bars him from membership. DENVER street railway companies are removing unused tracks from the streets. This is a hint for the Omaha company which the council might emphasize by a resolution or ordinance if necessary. THE most important question now be- fore the new Chicago appellate court is whether or not the judges shall wear gowns. If tho judges consult the senti- ment of the community at large they will omit this antiquated flummery. ACCORDING to dispatches from Iquiquo the principal merit of the Chil- ian government vessels is the superior speed whereby they can keep out of the way of the war ships of the insurgents. Those ships appear to beliove it is bet- tor to fight and run away than not live to fight another day. THE one idea_prohibitionists were de- feated in the Ohio convention and the party which has never been able to carry its single ism enters the fight loaded down with declarations upon all the controversial topics now before the American people, including woman’s suffrage and the income tax COUNCIL BLUFFS is in earnest in her efforts to securd a union passenger depot. Council Bluffs ought to be successful in securing this convenience. She has done enough for the railways centering there and has a sufficient volume of busi- ness to warrant the confidence with which her citizens are asserting them- selves on this proposition. RussIA may find that the expulsion from Moscow of Herr Goldberger, the eminent Jewish financier and diplomatist of Belgium, was a most impolitic act. It is likely to arouso the sentiment of the world against Russian intolerance, and Russia is not great enough in resources, reputation or area to defy the public sentiment of the nineteenth century. I¥ THE southern alliance will keep its word and refuse to support Grover Cloveland for the presidency, the “stuffed prophot of Williams street” will not give the democratic national convention a chance to snow him under. The southern alliance is democratic and its wishes will ba respected. The only hope of the democrats in 1892 is in the alliance, south and north. THE defaulting ex-city treasurer of Philadelphia has pleaded guilty on 17 counts to the indictment against him. The aggregato penalty of these will bo about sixty years imprison- ment. In view of these facts the good- natured prosccuting attorney has de- clined to prosecute him upon those re- maining, at least until after the penal- ties on the 17 have been worked out. It s possible to satisfy even a Philadelphia lawyoer. . SRR SSe—— THE board of trade should not be satistied with a resolution and a commit- tee in favor of making an effort to se- cure one of the great party conventions for Omaha. The committee should get right down to business and post itself on what ought to be doue to evable this vity to accomplish its purpose. Every national committeeman in the country should be told that Omaha is alive and anxious 1o have @ hearing when the time comes to select the meeting places of these national political gatherings. i HE OMAHA DAILY BEE, OMAHA'S OPPORTUNITY, Chenp fuel 18 a vital factor in the growth and permanency of manufactur ing industries. Every great manufac- turing conter in the United States owes its strength to the abundance and cheap- ness of fuel. Pittsburg’s pre-eminence as a city of factories was roared on a foundation of stoam-making The convenienco of coal, the nbundance of petroleum and later tho intornal seus of natural gas discovered and made subservient to man's will, all combined to make the Smoky City a manufacturing contor of the first magni- tude. The history of other cities show that whore the raw matorial oxists in abundance, the disndvantage of costly fuel is partially , but when both are cond t given point, the number and character of manufac- tories depend on the energy and enter- prise of the people. The question of chanp fuel is one of the main obstacles confronting overy movement caleulated to incrouse the in- dustries of Omaha. The bulk of our stonm making coal comes from Towa and Kansas, but its cheapness is apparent only in weight. Mensured by the quan- tity consumed toproduce a given amount of power, the margin of profit over the cost of superior conl from more distant points isslight. We must look to other sources for better and cheaper conl. In abundance and variety of steam- making power Wyoming poss cided ndvantages over any section trib- utary to Omaha. The coal treasures of the state are inexhaustible. Develop- ment is in its infancy, yet it has established itself as the household fuel of the west. Excossive cost of transpor- tation prevents more extensive use, and years must elapse before it can become o factor in Omaha’s industrial growth. But the vast oil basins of the state afford o permanent solution of the fuel prob- lem. - The importance of this great sea of petroleum to Omaha’s industrial future is beyond question. There is no longer any doubt of the extent and value of the basins or the superiority of the oil in quality and quantity, over that which in littls over a genera- tion added millions upon millions to the nation’s wealth, multi- plied industries, stimulatod prosperity and placed Pennsylvania in the front rank of manufacturing states. Practical demonstrations have dispelled all doubts and established its character. All this preliminary work was carried on by men of moderate means, who, had their re- sources baen equal to their pluck, would ere this have placed Wyoming oil on the markets of the world. Thorough and systematic development requires greater capital, but all efforts to secure sufficient means from outside sources have heretofore been frustrated by mer- cenary influences. The value of this steam-making power is but one of the leading elements. 1t is an ar- ticle of universal use and the city which controls the output and applies it in creating new and sustaining old indus- tries not only fortifies itself against com- petition but secures a strong lead in the race for supromacy in the west. Nebraska men and moans practically control the field. They commmand all ay- onues of approach to the best basins, But thoy cannot maintain their grip without substantial assistance. It rests with local capitalists whether Nebraska and its metropolis shall reap the full benefits destined to flow from the Wyoming oil fields. Omaha must lead and anchor its interests in the field. The energy and saguc- ity which in seven years mude Omaha the third stock market of the country, should be pressed into harness again and with the addition of enterprising new comers, found a western Standard oi] company. There is nothing of a specu- lative nature in the investment. Itisa goldon opportunity demanding mon with the ability to grasp and the means to execute an enterprise of such magnitude. John Rockafeller had but little means at his command when he purchased his first oil refinery n Cleveland. The seller chuckled over the fancy prico obtained. But Rockafeller com- prehonded the vast possibilities of the business, pressed to his sup- port less aggressive investors, and reared a fortune, the amount of which he could not determine, under oath, by atriflo of twenty millions, Wyoming offers today far more tempting induco- ments than confronted Rockafeller 20 years ago. Omaha is to Wyo- ming what Cleveland was to Pennsyl- vania. The conditions are favorable for the birth of several Rockafellors and the upbuilding of colossal commercial and industrial interests in Omaha. Prompt action is necessary to perma- nent succes cheap power, w08 de- product as a MR. ROSEWATER AND AMERICAN LABOR It is not necessary to say to the older readers of THE Bee that its editor has always been the friend and champion of American labor. For 20 years he has advocated its cause in the columns of this paper and battled for its interests in the political arena. As an employer he has always paid the union scale of prices, and in every relation with labor has complied promptly with its reason- able demands. In the prolonged con- flict between the Burhington railroad company and its engineers THE BEE was on tho side of the men, and in no contest between labor and capital in which labor apveaved to be in the right has this paper failed to advocate its cause. No man in this country, certainly no editor, has done more to advance the welfare and uphold the rights of labor than Mr Rosewater, and he is as oarnestly and heartily its friend now as at any time in the past. The posi- tion of THE BEE regarding immi- gration has been 80 frequently stated that it is presumed all of its readers fully understand it. Tt is simply that worthy foreigners, able and willing to earn a livelihood and well disposed to our laws, should have no barrier put in the way of their coming to the United States. Such people, THE BEE thinks, there is still room and opportunity for here, and it believes thelr coming will increyse the general prosperity. There has been for the last two or three years a great outery against immigration, recontly intensified by the af fair at New Orleans aud the fact | that the number of immigrants this year hns been considorably larger than for the corresponding period of last year. Thne B has athy with this nor with the proposition that the gov- ernment should exclude unskilled Iabor. It Dbolloves that this labor is needed here to porform work which American labor will not do. Tho latter cannot be had for the grading of raflroads, the digging of sewers and work of this chare acter, and without the supply of forel unskilled labor willing to do this work very little of it would be done, Tue Brk honors that spirit in the American workingman which loads him to refuse such menial employ- ment, It is this spirit which has had most to do with elevating labor in this republic and with making the American worker the most prosperous and com- fortable of any in the world. Only those who would debase American labor are willing that it shall perform the menial work at any price, which is now done by foreign labor. The enemies of Tk its editor undertako u losing tas when they attempt to make it appear that Mr. Rosewater is nota friend of American labor. The record of 20 years of conflict in the intorest of that labor—conflict that demanded in- domitable courage and intense work— is s0 overwhelmingly against them that their puny assaults can no more prevail against it than could the missile from a toy gun penetrate a steel armored ship of war, no sym Bee and of INEQUITABLE ASSESSMENTS, The returns of the assessor of the First ward reveal glaring inequalities in the matter of valuations for taxation. The assessor in that ward is an experi- enced wan and has performed the duties of the office for a long period. Ho ought to be a good judge of values. His list is thevefore taken as an example of the tax-shirking of corporations and the inequitable methods of making valua- tions. 1Inother wards similar lapses of judgment will be discovered in the mat- tor of assessing corporations, though it is to be hoped there are no such glaring inconsistoncies. January 1, 1891, when THE BEE made up its annual showing of the improve- ments for the year 1890, the Thomson- Houston Electric Light company vouch- safed tho information that it had ex- pended upwards of 00,000 within the preceding twelve months upon its plant in this city. It was then supplying light for 5,000 incandescent lamps and 120 arc lamps. Its pay-roll contained the names of 60 employes, It was then as now receiving 8175 per 2,000-power arc light from the city and it was admitted on ull hands to be a well equipped electric lighting establish- ment. About April 1, the date for which the present assessment stands, the president repeatedly claimed that the company had investsd $700,000 in Omaha and he pleaded with councilmen to protect their investment against a smaller concern which was seek- ing a franchise. The company has $500,000 of paid up capital stock and has issued bonds amounting to $400,000. The franchise itself is also of great value. In 1890seventy-five miles of wire were put up and a large amount of new machinery was added. Yet in the face of these facts admitted by the company, known to the public and to the assessor, that officer upon his sol- emn oath vaiues its personal property at $15,445 and the real estate on which the power house is located at $9,000! 1t is known of course that the whole city is valued at but $21,000,000, whereas its real worth is not less than $200,000,- 000. Inother words, the average tax- able valuation of property is about one- tenth of its cash value. On this basis tho electric light property should be as- sessed at 370,000 at least, for the plant is certainly worth what vhe president says it cost. The assessor’s judgment is not so de- fective in asscssing private property. The Metz brewery, built years ago, is rated at $15,000. 'he building of the Goodman drug company at $10,000; the Bemis bag factory at $11,000; and the Ames building at $9,000. The Electric light company’s building is one of the best in that part of the city, and covers three lots. It isassessed at $9,000. The Moline Milburn buiiding cost less money and stands upon one lot. It is assessed at $10,000. The Bushman building cost 85,000 and occupies less than a full lot, It is assessed at $10,000. The Omaha hardware company’s stock goos in at $13,600. The entiro personalty of the electric light company including its expensive machinery, its miles upon miles of wire, and other property is said by this assessor on his oath to be worth $15,445. Aguinst this is the personal property of the Omaha Elevator com- pany listed at $20,660, and that of Fair- banks, Morse & Co., ut $15,000. What a farce! How long will the peo- ple of Omaha tamely submit to these impositions, these discriminations in favor of corporate monopolies, these falso returns of valu COUNCILMEN DONNELLY and Elsas- sor knock a great hole in the mayor’s message vetoing the bond election or- dinance, in their report upon that docu- ment. According to their well digested conclusions instead of having $1,000,000 available for street improvewments with- out voting bonds as claimed by the mayor, the aggregate is but $270,000. Mayor Cushing now has the floor. The discussion between him and the council may throw light upon this very inter- esting subject and eventually lead to the establishment of some sort of intelli- gence office where all parties interestod can go for reliable information. THE Minneapolis 7vibune onlls this great city “little Omaha,” and in tho sume paragraph expresses the fear that we are big enough to iture the republican nat'onal convention. The opithet does not hurt and simply puts us on our mettle to make it interesting for the Minnesota metropolis in the cam- paign for the convention. DES MOINES is & city of 50,000 people. The information to be obtained there by the board of public works is doubtless very valuable to Omaha, but while the city officials were absent learning how Des Moines paves her streets, the public ATURPAY, JUN work in Uuu\hl;lmngnlnhvll and the codar blocks of Spaulding stroet continued to float toward thekulf of Mexico. IN spite of thelarge number of now | entorprisos estab- | buildings and othe lished within a yoar in the first ward tho total valuation of personalty shows a gnin of but $15,000 over last yoear. The tirst ward grows in wealth fastor than in taxable value. The other wards probubly grow 1fkewise. THE next timefthe city contracts for stroet finger-bonrds it should provide that thoy be maintained in good order ‘or a torm of yoars, The namo of every street should be shown at intersections 50 that strangers may be able to find themsolves, WHERE i8 the principal business office of the Electric Light company? Under the ruling of the county commissionors should not this corporation veturn its porsonal property to the Fourth ward instead of the First? cuse can the board of public works give for the present condition of the pavement on Spaulding street? Why should that streot remain prac- tically impassable for ten days, WaaT THE Omaha guards ought to go to Indianapolis but complimentary resolu- tions will not pay for railroad tickots.

There is littlo doubt that tho inter: esta that have speculated largely upon o vise in the prices of wheat and other cereals are proventing even a temporary of the grain duties, It these dutles should be suspended wheat ahd corn would pour jnto Europo from the United States and othor regions in an abundant stroam, and this would be speodily followed by a decline in prices. The Gor- man, French and Italian govornments seom, however, to prefer that their people should starve rather than that those who are speculating in the prices of bread should suffer a loss of wvrofits. But if this policy shall be persisted in much longer in tho conditfon of the grain markots there is reason to beliove that it whil produce not merely bread riots, but much moro serious conflicts betweon the peoplo of KEurope and their rulers, A more rational ground for po- litical rovolution could scarcely bo found thaa that afforded by a policy of government which taxes the bread of the toiling masses in order to maintain vast standing armies, Every day the popular murmurs against this policy are assuming a more menacing tone. Tho patient German workingmen who have been making fists in their pockets will act with terrible onergy when they shall fecl suspension more keenly the pinch of starvation and shall | aro clearly recognizo that their sufferings lacgely due to the pig-headed and perverse obstinacy of their imperial government. For more than half a century Venczuela has been protesting against British encroach- ment. Commissioners have been sent to London to press her claims, but without avail; and just as steadily as the sca en- cronches on the land and swoops away old landmarks, so Great Britain has continued to survoy territory, establish posts, raise flags and overawe all opposition by a display of su- porior force. A few years ago Guzman Blanco, ex-dictator of Venezucla, was sent as ambassador to England, where he still re- mains; but it soon became evident that he was false to his trust and he was burned in efigy in the Venczuclan capital. The discoveries of valuablo gold deposits in the debateable territory are undoubtedly at the bottom of Great Britain’s movements. Last year tne British commissioner seized mineral lands near the Orinoco, and when Venezuela sent a gunboat to the mouth of that river the British authorities dispatched a war vessel to the same spot and compelled tho com- mander of the Venezuelan vessel to lower his colors, at the same timo occupying the dis- puted zono with a military force. Dr. Pulido was sent by the Venezuelan government.to London to sccure, if possible, a settlement of the dispute, but Lord Salisbury demanded that Venezula should, as the very foundation of arbitration, concede to Great Britam all | the territory now claimed by it—an ultima- tum which was, of course, at once rejected. If the British pretensions should be iually sustained Venezula would lose not only her wold fields, but also the exclusive control of the mouth of the Orinoco, one of the three great rivers of South America; and the pos- session by a European power of this strategio point would enable it to levy tribute upon the unlimited territory penetrated by this immense water course, Nowhere in Latin America is the experi- ment of self-government being conducted under such disadvantages as in Hayti. French and negro blood combino as badly as French and Indian. Its main product is ignorauce aad worthlessness, its collateral product is cruelty. There are just enough exceptions to this rule to nvite the hopo of improvement and not enough to assuro it. Hayti 1s a particularly bad place for such a combination to live in, The land enriches any one who is content to sit still ana let things grow, and thav is a condition which almost necessarily leads to public disorder. The less that a hotheaded and excita- ble people have to do and the less they need to, the more surely do their tendencies toward excess overcome prudence and morality, Hayti is a vatural garden where crops must grow at the least provocation. Money comes easily to all and is as ensily thrown away. Poliics Is the natural resort of every adventurous disposi- tion, and the step from ambition to bioodshed comes easily at once. The history of Hayti presents little that is encouraging to those who have hoped to see the island dovelop into an orderly, independent community. 1t has been a record of Hippolytes and Legiti- mes. Unloss a change for tho better soon oceurs, the United States will bo under the necessity of making especial arrangements for the peuce and safety of their resident cit- 1zeus. The numerous attacks upon foreigners in different parts of China are assuming an alarming character. The anti-foreign riots at Tening-Kiang in Mebruary, 1850, and at Han-Keou, in July of thesame year, have not been repeated on the sawe large scale: but they have been followed by a series of isolated outrages and murders, like the two which Lave been reported by cablo within a fortnight. 1t should be noticed that they oc- cur at a time when the Chincse goverament and authorities in most provinces are ap- parently displaying unusual friendship for tho ‘“barbarians.” The oficial representatives of the latter were treated to & splendid banguet on the occasion of the emperor's wedding, in March of last year; and the diplomatic corps was received for the first time in solemn audience by the emperor in March of this year. Again, when a committee of forciguers was formed at Shanghai, In order to assist the Chinese dur- ing tho famine of 1859, the efforts of the com- mittee were officially recognized by the vice- roy of the two Kiang proviaces, which sent to the members of the committees exceed- ingly complimeutary letters. Unfortunately, the majority of the Chinese peoplo do not en- tertain for the “forcign dovils” the friendly feeling shown by their government and high ofticials., They are especially when they see fo penetrating further and further into the interior. Tho lower classes aro incited by Chinese merchants, jealous of seeing & portion of their business passing into the hauds of for- eigners, ‘I'he Colestinl authorities are com- pelled sometimes, though it would soem un- willingly, to stop the advance of the forcign- ers inland, o instance, though the Teho Fou conyention authorized English steamers to go up the Yang Tse Kiang river, popular sentiment was so strongly opposed to the scheme that the British company which -vas ready o start a boat was compelled to give up the enterprise, and it has recently sold its steamer o the Chinese goverument, also PAC e remeERs RIS 10 mfuriated | ES, ¢ BOUNCED.

Laxcoy, Neb,, June 12.—[Special to T Bre.]—Lincoln has a fight of its own which resembios somewhat the ioted Heimrod- Carnes ofl inspection case now pending in the district conrt of Douglas county. The row is ovor the chairmanship of the board of public works, Mr, chairman of the board last year by Mayor Graham, He has therefore served only ono year of his threo year's torm as a mombor of tho board, But the now mayor, Mr. Weir, has appointed Prof. Hicks to tho position of chairman and wishos to reduco Mr. Marshal to the position of a common member of the board, As the chairmanship is worth 81,200 por annum and the other two positions but $200, Mr. Marshal objects to being thus de- prived of 2,000, and declares that thero is no power to romove him oxcept for just eause. Ho cites s cause for his action the precedents established in regard to the chairmanship not only in Lincoln, but also in Omaba. He refuses to surrendér the oftice and has appealed the case to the city council and that body bas referred the matter to the judiviary committee. A report on the same will be” made next Monday evening.

On the hearing today an at. tompt was made to prove that she did know of the suit and had asked time, but this testi- mony availed nothing, the court allowing the fojunction.
