The alllance people throughout the state are aparently too busyiplanning for nouscs ws for the mense crops of amall grain soon to be in tho stack. As a quence a very large proportion of tha will thrown from the threshing the market. The rush of grain to Chi- cago and other centers from the entire west and northwest will naturally affect the market adversely and our farmers will lose not than $3,000,000 for want of proper storage facilities. A lit- tlo enterprise on the part of the leaders of the farmers’ ongani opough public elevators to carry the surplus grain for woeks and monthe and con phus loss give the producers the benefit of the | winter marlket. Without these storage facilities the Chicngo and*St, Louis ole- vator men will pocket the profits unless Omaha meets the situation hersell and takes a shave of the procecds, Tho fact of a want of storage facilitios in the interior need not deter capitalists from investing in elevators hevo. On the contrary, the conditions above out- linea should stimulate our peoplo®to greater offorts, There is no reason in the worid why the greater part of the surplus should not bo carried in Omaha if tho storage is provided. Unless all forecasts for the future are wrong, the grain men here can make the money which elevators will cost in this single senson if they will take all the grain offered b farmers bo- tween this date and November 1 and store it for future deliveries. There can wrcely be a shadow of doubt but the winter and spring market for breadstuffs will be very much higher than that which will prevail when the grain is moved. Tho lack of elevator and granary capacity in the state will force millions of busnels from the stack direcv to the ca If this could be stored in Omaha we could take a treméndous stride toward becoming a great grain market this first season of operation under the new grain law.

The agricultural producers of the United States are largely interested in the success of the policy of reciprocity. The benefit it will be to them is the strongest reason urged in its favor, and they have unanimously recognised this and approved the policy. In his lettor to Senator Frye, of just one yeur ago, Secretary Blaine sa “The charge rinst the protective policy which has injured it most is that its benefits go wholly to the manufacturer and the capit- alist and not at all to the farmer. Here is an opportunity where the farmer may be benefitted — primarily, undeniably, richly benefitted. Our foreign market for breadstuffs grows narrower. Great Britain is exerting every nerve to secure her bread supplies from India, and tho rapid expansion of the wheat area in Russia gives us a powerful competitor in the markets of Burope. It becomes us, therefore, to uso every opportunity for the oxtension of our market on both of the American continents. With nearly $100,000,000 worth of sugar secking our market every year we shall prove our- solves most unskilled logislators if we do not secure a largo field for the sale and consumption of our breadstuffs and provisions.” It was the interests of ag- riculture which Mr. Blaine had chiefly in mind in urging this policy. Very few persons appreciate the possi- bilities of southern trade. The coun- tries lying south of the United States contain a population of nearly 53,000,000, and have a foreign commerce amount- ing annually to $1,200,000,000. The United Statesis one of the very best customers of those countries, buying of them annually merchandisb to the value of about $200,000,000, but this country provides them with only a small part of their requirements, our exports to all of them aggregating only about $01,000,000, thus less than one-quarter of the trade of those countries is with the United States. When the circum- stances and conditions of ‘the past are considered perhaps it is to be said that we have done very well, but the time has come when we can no longer permit those markets to be almost monopolized by Furopean nations, because we nead them und this need will grow strongor from year to year. Reciprocity is distinctively a repub- lican policy. It received no favor from the last democratic admin- isteation. It has boen advocated by no demovratic leader, It is not supported by the demo- cratic party, though the party is ful not to assail it. * It is not expec that the next democratic houso of rep- resentatives will do anything to advance it. Could the farmors of tho country make any greater mistake, theretore, than to withhold their support from the party which has formulated and is car- rying out as rapidly as practicable a policy that promises to greatly widen the demand for their products and nec- essarily assure them better prices for what they have tosell? Every farmer who understands his own interests and desires to see the commerce of the coun- try extended will vote to ‘continue the republican party in power. THE POSTAL SUBSIDY. Postmaster General Wanamaker has been active in his efforts to interest capital, and particularly that alveady in- vested in steamship lines to foreign countries, in the opportunity which the postal subsidy bill offers for extending the ocean transportation facilities of the country, and it is stated that results of great importance to the whole country are in prospect. The postal subsidy law authorizes the postmaster general to make contracts with American steam- ship lines for the transportation of the United States mails to foreign countries, and incidentally, as far as possible by this means, to encourage American com- merce and the building of Awmerican ships. This measure does not go as far as the advocates of ship subsidies de- eired, but it is all that it was believed fme | bo | hineinto | wion would ercct | | the country would approve, and conforms essentially to the recommendations of the administration, There is an im- portant difference, which all fair-minded men recognize, between a sweoping sube sidy system which proposes to pay bounties to everything that floats, and a olicy of ifhoral compensution for car- rying the mails which will encourage the building of large, swift and thor- oughly modorn steamships, as the law of the last congress contemplates. If the purpose of the postal subsidy Iaw shall be attained this country will have within the next two years fleets of stoamships conveying its mails and products to many foreign ports whore no American ships now go, and bringing return cargoes directly to our merchants more rapidly than it is possible for them to now obtain such foreign merchandise, and probably also at much more favor- ablo rutes, The effect of being provided with transportation facilities vastly su- perior in all respects to those now at command could not fail to exert a most important influence favorable to the nsion of our foreign trade, the uniform testimony of the mor- chants of the countries south of the United States being that there is noth- ing moro necessary to the enlargement of our commerce with those countries than the possession of our own means of transportation of a class able to compete in every way with the best equipped foreign steamship lines, It is to the at- tainment of this that the legislation of the last congress and the work of tho administration are directed, and it is sid that the prospect of satisfactory rosults is very favorable. The mana- gers of the steamship lines with whom tho postmaster genaral has conferred have manifested a disposition to accopt the conditions imposed by law, and in view of this an advertisement has been issued in all the coast cities for bids, under the law, setting forth what mail service is desired to be performed by the postoffice department and calling for offers on tho part of the different steamship companies of the work of transporting the mails to foreign coun- tries, which they are willing to per- form. The practical ability of tho postmaster general appears to have been as thor- oughly demonstrated in connection with this matter, in which he has taken a most hearty interest, as in that of every- thing else connected with the improve- ment and advancement of the postal service, and if he is as fortunate in securing good results in this as in other directions there will be no opposition anywhere to the pelicy of the new law. THE celeb ration of July 4 in Portland, Me., furnished fresh evidence of tho f; ure of prohibition. So far as that city is concerned, according to the leading paper of the town, there was more drunkenness on that day than for many years, and the police were kept busy running in the intoxicated, attention being necessarily given only to the vicious and troublesome. The police station was crowded and still the streets weve filled with the inebriated. The paper does not say whother the saloons were open or the pocket peddlers did the business, nor is it important to know. The evident fact is that ever, body who wanted liquor in Port- land could get it and that hundreds did got it to an extent to make the day me- morable for the amount of intoxica- tion. Other Maine cities are to be heard from, byt this single example is suffi- cient to show that even under the more stringent legislation recently adopted prohibition in the towns of Maine still fails to prohibit. Tne school board will consider the ap- plications tonight of a large number of men who want to be janitors. Many of these seek veappointment. They should be dealt with solely on their merits as janitors, and the principals of the schools are the best judges of their effi- ciency and faithfulness. Some of the candidates, iv is believed, have been compelled to pay tribute to the *‘ging,” with a view to reappointment. The com- mittee whose recommendation is neces- sary to the success of all candidates for these places should sift this matter care- fully and see that every appointmént is made on merit alone. NEW Yorg will wait a long a national political convention because the center of political power is steadily moving westward, but the great state maintains her ascendancy as a religious center and therefore the next moeting of the Young People’s Society of Chris- tian Endeavor will convene in New York city. This religious organization by the way, has larger conventions than any political party and remains in session fully as fong. Verily they that be good have their reward. New York has the largest number of Endeavor societies in the union and is clearly entitled to the 1892 convention. time for MR. CHARLES WOOSTER of Silvor Creek is technically correct in saying the allianco leaders have no author of alliance law for expending alliance funds for political purposes, but the fact is they have expended largo sums and are gotting ready for still larger ex- ponditures, right or wrong. It is this frigid fact which republicans must face and it cannot be cheerfully or succoss- fully faced with empty pockets. CHARLES J. GREEN, the gifted attor- neyof the Burlington railroad, makes a very clever and specious argument against a maximum freight schedule, but Mr. Green is wrong. The state of Nebraska is not on a level with lowa and adjacent states in the mauter of freight rates and until she is the people will continue to demand their rights in this particular, Mavor CUSHING has not yet ap- pointed the third member of the board of public works, He is doubtless con- sldering the relative claims and qualifi- cations of applicants and it is to be hoped, will take the best man offered. The best man is a republican who has lived in Omaha from boyhood, has a good name and is every way competent for the place. —_— IF the board of education has any re- gard for its business reputation it will elect asuperintendent of schoolstonight.

BREAL Solving the Immigration Problem. Philadel; hia Pres: ‘The Hebrew alliance of St. Louis deserves high commendation for its movement toward the solution of the immigration problem. The alliance has decided to take charge of all Hebrews of foreign bivth who come to St. Louls, give them a thorough course in tne English language, instract them as to .the naturo of the laws of the country, and make them, 1n every respect, thorough American citizens. This is a laudable example for other foreign- American societies to follow. e Alliance Rumpuses.

Globe-Democrat: There is nq historical necossity, that is to say, for discussing and adjusting such a question, but the chances are that Colonel McCluro s right, and that Hamlin was not renominated because Lin- coln and other leaders of tho party thought it would be good politics to give the place to Johnson as a southorn man and a conspicu- ous represontativo of tho union sentiment in tho insurgent states, Chicago Herald: Tho pseudo historian has shown in a verbose and scattering chronicle that ho did not possess the intel- lectual qualities fitting him to be a private secretary during a groat epoch in national history.

But the readers of the North American may be assured thatat a time when the friends of Mr. Lincoln doemed it to bo imperative that his hands should be strengthened thore was the posi- tive purpose to follow his desires as to candi- dates. ——— PASSING JESTS, The report that Eugeno Fleld is preparing to remove to Boston rocelves strong confir tion from the following: “T umn of the padiwhiack,” says 'C risingly floxib it Is even el possibilities.

Atany rate, shortly aftor her do parture for New York, Bailey suddenly dis appenred, desorting his ill-used wifo and baby and leaving them destitute. Tho wronged woman set about carning o liveli hood for herself and child. One day, about two months ago, the fnfant was stolen from 1ts home. Until last weok no traco of tho cbild was found. Then 1t was learned that it was with Balley's relatives in Dan ville and the unfortunate woman and her father came to Montreal and sacured tho services of Dotectiva MoMahon, The threo went to Dauville,and aftor some claver work tho deecctivo located tho child at a distan e from town on a farm, An interview was se- cured yestorday, but tho Bailoy family ro fused to give up the infant. Rinaily thedis- tressed mother snatched it and fiod. Two of Bailey's brothers and sevoral farm hands started to intercept the floeing woman, It was then that McMahion drew two revol- vers and threatened to shoot any one dead in his tracks who attempted to pursuo the wo- man. The gang was cowed and for more than an hour ho held them at bay until, thinking the wronged mother safo, o left the men and started for Danvillo. Tho Bai- loya and others armed themsolves, and secur- ing horses, chased the officer, both reaching the town about the same time.

Still the party refused to ive up the child, but on the suggestion of the magi trato they finally consented, not, howevor, before tho Bailevs had given heavy bonds to proauce tho child in court whon" required. The unfortunate girl and her father will to- day begin legal proceedings to recover the child. Bailey, tho fathor, is a fugitive from Justice. MONETARY SITUATION.
