GEORGE B. | 78CHUCK, Sworn to before mo and subserihed in ne, presence this Gth day ot June, A. D. 1801, N. P. Fem, otary Pubii —_— GOOD crops, good prices and plenty of money will retire the Lincoln brand of calamity leaders into the oblivion they deservo. 1800, It is well to keep in mind the glorious, indisputable fact that Nebraska has on deposit in her hanks belong to her citizons subject to check $50,500,000. ng THE incarceration of a reputable citi- zen upon a suspicion that he stole a small handbag containing jowelry with- out just reason for believing him guilty was an outrage which disgraces the po- lice department of the ALLIANCES with sense enough to take advantage of the new warehouse law and stamina enough to kick certain dem- agogues out of their midst, will acccm- plish something creditable to themselves and bencficial to the farmers generally. Masor McKINLEY will take off his coat about the middle of Atgust and go into the field to gather up a harvest of votes which will retire Governor ¢ bell from the field as sibility. McKinley will make a speech every day until election and every spoech ho makes will increaso his major- ity. SLEEPLESS vigilance is the price of jprosperity in theso days of nggressive competition between commercial conteors, Omauha must not forget that Kansas City, Minneapolis and Denver avo tireless in their enterprise. Our business men must be energotic, persistent and public spir- fted to koeep at the head of the proces- sion. THE alleged léader of the farmors in ‘Nebraska loses his temper ontively over tho fact that there ave deposits in the banks of the state equal to $47 per capita of the population. This great, starry truth rolling toward that indi- vidual assumes a threatening aspect, and once it becomes known throughout the state will knock both the ealamity crutches from under his arms. Tug first eargo of American wheat leaves Galveston for Kurope today. This was grown thé present season and its shipment marks the beginning of an export trade from Galveston harbor in which the states of Taxas, Kansus, Mis- souri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Jowa are deeply interested. With a doop water harbor at Galveston o largo part of the grain of that region must go via that port to European markets. It is unfortunate that the board of trade eannot immediately accept the cor- dial and courteous invitation of the Hel- ena business men to visit their city and confor upon railrond matters. There is nothing more important to the welfare of this city than a direct rail connection with Helena and the sooner the two cities take hold of the question in earn- est, the sooner will the road be con- structed. STRANC enough in view of the fears that the young emperor of Ger- many would plunge the continent into war when ho succoeded to the throne, tho first roy: for goneral disarmament comos from him. Ho sires Eoglund to take the official in- itintive but gives ample assarance of his desire to bring this about. Gormany is tho best armed nation in Kurope. The emperor’s suggestion is significant. A_BOSTON papor appeals to the au- thorities of that ity to construet boule- vards, and the arguments it prossnts are of general application. It remarks that in Washington property on the broad, handsome streets commands a broad, handsome price, as does property on nearly all of the beautiful boulevards of the country. Anybody familine with Chicago knows this to be truo of that eity, sod on the finer streels of Cleveland property is more sought for and sells at highor prices than clsewhere outside of the business district. A good deal has beon heard within the last year or two about opening boulevards in Omaha, but pothing practical bas yet beon done. The present season should not be al- lowed to pass without steps being taken to give this city ut least oue extended JDoulevard suggestion de- | other THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY BUILDING AND LOAN ASS0OIATIONS. There are in operation in Nebraska upwards of twenty-five building and loan associations incorporated under the lawsof the state. These are understood to be entirely safe and trustworthy in- stitutions. They are subject to examin- by the examiners of the stato banking dep irtment at least once a year, and may have their affairs inspected oftener if the bourd deem 1t neces: For several years Nebraska has boern fraitful field for the operations of alleged building and loan associations claiming incorporation under the laws of states, an untold amount of money having been taken from our people by these institutions. They are still doing business here, it is said, in disregard of the requirements of th relating to such associations. An act for the government of building and loan associations was passed by the last legislature, which is very stringent in its provisions. It was designed to protect the people of the state against deception and fraud by these outside ssociations, and if properly enforced would be effective for this purpose. [t is proposed to enforce the law, and if this is done it is not to be doubted that the state will be rid of the institu- tions which, according to the statements of Examiner Garber, are untrustworthy, and aro collecting monthly thousands of dollars from our people without any pro- portionate return. The examiner has made a eareful calculation of results under the plan of operation alleged to be pursued by one of these associations, and he finds it to be utterly impossible for it to fulfill the promises made to in- vestor: The effect of the showing made by the examiner is to demonstrate that the so-called na- tional building and loan ssocin- tions are essentially dishonest and fraudulent, and this view of them is borne out by, the result of investigations of their methods in Massnchusetts, Penn- sylvania, and elsewhere. In the states named the authorities have proceeded against them, and somo of them have been foreed to give up business there, Properly and honestly managed build- ing and loan associations are beneficial. As Examiner Garbor says, “‘there is no other meuns so seenre and profitable for the saving ana investment of small fixed sums periodically, and certainly there is no better way for the salaried man to acquire a homestead than to become a borrower from his home association.” On the other hand no method of swin- dling people has been found more casy and profitable than that adopted by some alleged building and loan associations. There should be no time lost in driving all such out of Nebr: A PROPOSED IRRIGATION CONVENTION. It is probuble that the call of the gov- ernor of Utah, addressed to the gover- nors of states and tories west of the Missouri river, for a convention to meet in Salt Lake City in September, will be favorably responded to by all the state executives addressed. The matter to be considered is of such great im- portance to the fifteen states and ter- ritories embraced in the invitation and there is such urgent necessity for pressing it upon the attention of the next congress that it is safe to assume that all the governors will use whatever authority they possess to have their commonweulths properly represented in the proposed convention. The present year has been exception- ally favorable throughout most of the arid rogion in the matter of rainfall, but this is no reason why the agitation for a general system of ivvigation should not be continued. The fortunate experi- ence of next yeir may not be re- peated this yaar, or for several years, and it is necessary that stops bo taken to provide against future drouths and their disastrous result: Artificial ireigation in North Americ had its firet successful application in Utah, and it is therofore appropriate that a convention to discuss the subject should be held in that teryitory. The New York Swun, which has mani- festod an active interest in western irri- gation, says in referring to the projectod convention that in the euastern states tho full significance of artificial irrigatic is a8 yet imperfectly understood. Not only are two blades of grass thereby made to grow where none grew bafore, says our New York contemporary, but six acres may be made to support a family where a thousand acres barely sustain a herd of cattle and two or three ranchme now. By artificial irvigation man is given control over the climate that coald not be obtmined otherwise. A certainty and adequacy of moisture is secured by this means to the vid Jands that makes them, with their greater heat and no less productive soil, not only equal but superior for the culture of grain, fruits and sub-tropical plants to the naturally irrigated lands of the eastern and cen- tral parts of the continent. All this is well known to those famil- far with artificial irrigation, but it interesting to reproduce it from the Sun as evidenco of a desire to have the true value of this method of reclaiming o vaint aven of the nation, soon to become b8ty to meet thy demands of w rap- r growing population, bette stood in a section whera artificial gation is not at present popular. The proposed convention ought to be largely attended and t o valuable influence, ation is PAUPERS IN ALMSHOUS om o special census bulletin it is learned that there were 78,045 inmates of almshouses in this country in 18)), 6,842 moro than in 1850. This rep: sents a ratio of 1,166 to the million ia- habitants against 1,320 to the million in 1880, a gratifying relative decrease in the ratio of pauperism to the population at large. . In respect te nativity and not includ- ing the colored paupers numbering 6,467, of the 06,578 white paupers 34,656 are native born, 27,648 foreign born and 2,274 whose plave of birth is unknown. Of those native born 21,519 had both par- ents nutive, 940 had one parent native and one foreign, #,350 had both par- ents forelgn born and in 10,008 cuases tho nativity of one or both parents is unknown. Adding to the 21,519 native paupsrs one-half of the number with one parent foreign born, the sum is 21,998.5. If to the 3,580 n tive paupers born of foreign parents an equal amount be added we have 4,054.5. Add to the 27,648 foreign born paupers thissum and we have 31,702.56 paupers of foreign blood, In other words the foroign population of this country con- tributes directly or indirectly very nearly three-fifths of all the paupers supported in almshouses. The foreign born paupers alone outnumber ail the white native paupers whose parentage is known, whether same be native or foreign, and they equal all the white native paupers of purely native origin, and the colored paupers taken together, Making a local application of the statistics fuenished we find that No- braska hus 201 paupers in her alms houses; Towa 1,621 and Kansas 203. In 1880 these states had respectiyely 113, 1,165 and $55. The ratio in Nebraska in 1880 was 250 to the million; in 1800 275, The ratio in Towa, 717 in 1850 and 848in 1800. The ratio in Kansus, 356 in 1880 and 416 in 1890, The absolute in- croase was 178 in Nebraska, 456 in Towa, and 238 in Kansas: the relative in 180 being 25, 131 and 60 rospectively. It will be observed that th s ligures show that Nebraska has fewer paupers both actually and relatively than either of the other states and that the increase in ten years is proportionatel vory much less in Nebraska than Towa or Kunsas. Tncidentally it may be re- marked in of certain arguments current in this state last fall that for ten years last past, Iowa and Kunsas have be prohibition states while Nebraska has adhered to high license. LATE FACTS ABOUT TIN. According tothe Sun Francisco Chron- icle, the Temescal tin mines of California shipped to the American tin plate com- pany of St. Louis, 38,000 pounds of pig tin, produced, smelted and refined at Temescal. That paper also states that the company has orders on hand from newly-formed tin plate companies in the United States for over $300,000 worth of block tin, and is running day and night with three shifts of men to meet the de- mand. Persons who porsist in denying that any tin is boing manufictured in the United States may be interested in the information that the tinplate plant of Laufman & Co., at Apollo, Pennsylvania, is now turning out 200 boxes per day, and the eapacity of the works is soon to be doubled. A Pittsburgh paper is authority for the statement that a box of the plate made at this plant was sent recently to the professor of chemistry at the university of Michigan, who made a careful test and pronounced it equal in all respects to the higher grades of im- ported tin, which is sold for nearly 30 per cent more than is asked for the American product. The Laufman company is receiving more orders than it can fill at the prosent eapacity of its works, and one of the members of the company said: “Other manufacturers ave also making the bright plate, and inside of six mounths there will be several additional plants on the market. The magnitude of the business is overwhelming.” No rational man will ask any better testi- mony than this to the fact that tin is being made in this country and that the industry is highly profitabie at prices for the proauct no higher, at loast, than the Welsh tin trust asks for an article no better. In view of such facts, well knowu, doubtless, to the foreign manufacturers, for they are sparing no effort to keep themselves informed as to what is going on here in connection with the develop- ment of the tin industry, it is not sur- prising that there is great anxiety among the Welch manufacturers, and that they are at sea as to what course to pursue in order to maintain their indus try. A London dispatch of a week ago stated that on August 1 the owners of the Welsh plants will de- cide whether the factories will be r opened or not, and that many arein favor of flooding the American market and keeping prices so low to dis- courage home efforts at manufacturing. It is hardly probable, however, that so radical an expedient as this will be adopted, and if it should be it could not. be long maintained. Every day strengthens assurance of the ultimate success of the tin industry in the United States. cons view as THE best information regarding the political situation in Towa is to the effect that the reports of republican dis- affection ave grossly exaggerated. The fact is that very few of the republicans who voted for Boics two years ago on the prohibition issue will support him this year, for the reason that they de- sive to prevent Iowa from getting into the democratiz column the year preced- ing the presidential election. It is the opinion of the best informed judges of the situation that more republicans will vote for democratic legislative candi- dates thau for Boies, but some of the most avdent anti-probibition repub- licans see that it would be a mistake to allow Towa to be carvied by the democ- racy this year. It is altogether probable that as the campaign progresses the now disaffected republicans will see the ex pediency® of saving the state to their party for national reasons, Greatly as desire to get rid of the prohibitory law, they may conclude that it is more important to waintain the control of the republican party in the country, and democratic victory in Iowa this year might prove a serious manace to repub- lican success in the national battle of 1802, It id th ymmittes on rules of the United States senate has agreed to report an amendment to the rules which will bring about a reform in sen- atorial funerals. There has been scandal in connection with the funerals of public officials, and it appears to be the determination of the sevate commit- tee to institute such changes as will ob- viate this complaint in future far the funerals of members of that body are concerned. The details of the reform have not been formulated, but one thing de- cided upon isa reduction of the expenses of senatorial burials, and the comumittee will that the number of members detailed to accompany the re- mains of deceased senators be reduced some 50 as recommend to the miniim. The proposition for roform in this matter will have general popular anpgwgl, and it will be an ex- collont thindif’ the example serve to lossen univor the pomp and circum- stance too common in connection with obsequies in this country. WHETHER Berea sandstone is good for curbing or not Tie BEE cannot undertake to say. It does not know. Tt believes, however, that every firm which is invited to compete for bids for curbing material is ontitled to fair treat- ment. Such traptment does not compre- hend the arbitraty rejection of bids pre- sented apparently in good faith, es- pecially when such bids are the lowest offered. When the board invited com- petition it included this class of mater- fal. If it is unfit for curbing now if it was unfit at the time the bids were invited and the board is open to the chargo of bad faith in ask- ing the Berea people to competo. It is no eredit to the hoard to explain that it invited Beren bids solely to scare the other contractors, Ifthe material is de- fective 1tshould not be used and bids for its use should not have been re- quested or considered.

GENERAL SUPERINTENDENTCALVERT of the Burlington is said to have a three months’ trip laid out in the wilds of northern Wyoming and Montana. Of urse this trip is made for the purpose of recreation. A general superintendent who is also a practical civil enginees would enjoy such an outing. PERHAPS if the Barber asphalt com- pany’s paving bids were rejocted by the board that somewhat avavicious paving trust would be taught a lesson which it will not forget, and would in the future offer to lay pavement at reasonable fig- ures, even though it is without competi- tion.

Thus far two democratic state conventions —thoso of Kentucky and lowa—have been held, and the result is far from encouraging tothe advocates of Cloveland’s renomina- tion. The platforms of both states distine- tively favor froe silver, and the Towa plat- form demands “just and liberal pensions.” This evidently settles Mr. Clevelana’s chances to secure the fowa delegavion. 1t is becoming more npparent every day that the domocracy of the south and west do not pro- pose to take up Mr. Cleveland. They favor froe silver, and to put Mr. Cieveland on a froo silver platform, in view of his strong utterances on that quostion, would bo to run the risk of defeat both on the platform and with the candidate.

Tie Ovama Bee rises, or rather soars, to remark that *Nebraska wili harvest 50,000,000 bushels of small grain this month,” worth, at the lowest calculation, $25,000,000 Again it says that “Nebraska tarmers will ket not less than 0,000,000 worth of cattle, sheep, poultry, produce and miscellaneous products this year.” Still again, with a conscious and justifiablo strain of exuitation: “Money in banks to the credit of Nebrasks dopositors subject to check, over $60,000,000. A fact liko this speaks for itself.” That's so. It speaks for itself, and speaks also for the energy and thrift of the peoplo Nebracka, who, under anything but en- couraging circumstances at the boginning of the year, and with birds of dvil omen croak- ing disaster from one end to the other of their broad prairies, have, nevertheless, plucked prosperity from a seemingly hopeless situation. There will certainly be no need of building subtreasury warehouses out in that state to tide the farmers over their mortgages. It looks very much as though they should be lenders of money rather than borrowers. gt PASSING JESTS. “A protty closo soratch that," remarked n perspiring mun us he emerged from his toilet room. +Do tell.” “Why. you see, T took a Jaunt into the coun- try yesterduy. absorbed the air and scenery, andlollod boneath the trees.

An effort will probably be made to muko three shifts of the police force, giving each shift eight hours for duty, thus complying with the law. To do this, however. without increasing 1he expense of the department, by employing more men, it would be necossar to cut down the actual foree on duty. That 13 a dificult matter to arrange without en- dangering the safety and quiet of the city. Sceretary 1. W. Nash of the smeiting works was asked about what his company intended to do about the eight hour law. He reptied that he had not given the matter any thought, and it had not been mentioned by any of the company. “Tho thing is all_ buncombe anyway,” said Mr. Nash, “and is manifestly unconstitu- tional. We shull commence paying our men by the hour after August 1, and if the men we havo don’t want to work ten hours per day, wo can easily got plenty who will bo glad to doso. Weare payiug higher wages now than our competitors. aud we have five applications for overy positiou in our works." W. V. Morse said he had not givea the new law any consideration. Nearly all the peoplo in the company’s shoe faciory, he said, worked by the piece, and he did not believe they would waut to shorten the hours and thereby lessen the amount of work aud, con- soquently, the pay. It is stated that all tho railroad companies operating in the stato have held consuliations on the eight-hour law, but_na decision has been rendered as yet. The couseusus of opinion, however, Scoms to ba in favor of | paying the employes by the hour and having | them work the same as usual. About two hundred or two hundrod and fifty men are employed i the various breweries and at the distillery in the city. The managers' of the concerns wero seen by a BEE reporter in rezard to the eight hour law. All the representatives of tho concerns mentioned stated that they had not given any thought to the now law. They figure that their men work about ten hours a day, but they could not _say what would bo done in refercnce to following out the re- quirements of the law. it is probable though that if the men work only eight hours the pay will be reduced to correspond with the time worked. The streot railway officials stato that they pay their employes by the bour, and do uot sec how they can bo affoctod 'by the new aw. S WATTELSON ASD HILL.

Uneasy Feeling Among Dealers as t» utare Prices, r New York, July 19. here is some uneasy’ feeling among tho managers of the anthracits coal producing companies as to the future of prices. Most of the men deny that there is immivent danger of a sharp break and sur- prise is expressed that the markot remains in good condition in spite of the production hav- ing run ahead of agreed allotments. Each xcoedingly £00d ShOOt- o ) 4 - company says that it 1s not guilty of sellin; coal below schedule prices, but there smsm\ to be a genoral suspicion that *‘the other f low is doing so. Rumors wore circulated yesterday to tho effect that the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western was cutting rates. Some persons explained them as being founded on the fol- lowing incident: Vice President Holden of the Lackawauna road, who has charge of tho conl department, has always been strict in vefusing to furnish coal to customers who fatled to tako their agreed amount in a cor- taiu mouth except at the advanco order for the new month. It was discovered, th: story goos, that aftor having cut off ono buyer who did not take his full quota for May, Mr. Holden allowed the man to tals 3,000 tons within a few days at the May schedule on the ground that it was dio him on deficien of dehveries in May. The May prices wore 25 to 3) cents under the now existing schedule. This reversal of Mr. Holden's usual policy excited lively comment, but it was reported that he had quicted coal circles by stopping tho de- liveries of coal to this indiviaual. Mr. Hol- den yesterday declined to discuss this inci- deut, He suggested that, when it was mon- tioned to a reporter the latter might inguire: Jon’t vou do tho same thing?" ~Mr. Holden emphaticaily denied that the Luckawanifa was solling coal below the established tariff. Ho refused to speak of his neighbors. *When there wore indications in May of an advanco m prices,” he added, *‘speculative buyers made many coutracts. They wantod to buy the world and thero were some people whio sold it to them. 1said all tho tims that thero would be troublo when the deliverics weroe made. The month of May hus been a ro- markably long one in the coal trade.” i THREE WORKME DROWNED, Temporary Trestle of a Railroad Bridge Washed Out, Purrsung, Pa,, July 19.—The temporary trestle of the new Panhandle railroad bridg across Couk’s run, six miles below this city, was washed away by a sudden flood shortly voforo noon yesterday, and threo workmen weredrowned.
