CLARKSON having returned the voltago of the telegraph companies has been largely increased. WHEN the American book trust pulls its gun the average board of education comes down like Davy Crockett’s rac- coon. KANSAS Ci1y has just experienced two bank failures. Omaha’s banks and her business continue solid in spite of the depression prevailing throughout the country. THE calamity politicians are sailing straight against the broezes of truth in their efforts to prove that the farming community and the country generally are drifting straight to ruin. IF The intorviewor continues patient, the president of the republican leagues of the United States will talk himself practically out of politics before the opening of the campaign of 1892, OMAHA people have $16,662.885.87 to their crodit in the national and state banks. This is too large a surplus to carry and the depositors ought to seek some avenue for making this idle capital active. THE eight hour law is almost worth- loss as a statute, being so loossly drawn as to bo practically inoperative. It is of immense importance, howaver, to the friends of the theory as an official decla- ration in their favor—a long step toward the ultimate success of the agitation for an eight hour day. STONEWALL JACKSON’S monument at Loxington, Va., was unveiled yosterday, General Grant’smonument at Riverside, New York is still a project. The chances aro that the southern people will have Jefferson Davis’ counterfeit in bronze erected long before New York completes the monument to the great union gen- eral. GROVER CLEVELAND is to be called to the assistance of the democrats in Ohio this fall. If avoirdupois alone would turn tho scalo in this contest, MeKinloy would be beaten, As it is a campaign of education and conflict of ideas the barrister ox-president will hardly know whon the votes are counted that he was a participant. . PooRr old Dom Pedro, the exiled ex- emperor of Brazil is dying. When he passes from earth Baazil will not exult. The exigencies of the revolution drove the nominal ruler to foreign shores, but in the hearts of his people is a love for the aged monarch which his death will re-awaken. All the world pities the Jonely, sweet-temperod man and his epi- taph will contain no condemnation. Even his enomies will soften toward him when the grave receives his romains. UNC JERRY RU has thus far been a trifle vacillating in the manage- ment of the weather, but he will 1m- prove with age and experience. He has, bowever, made every other branch of the agricultural department feel the woight of his good sensa and executive ability, The wisdom of making him a eabinet officor and the bureau a depart- ment has been vindicated at home and abroad. worotary Rusk has been a success and his department has accom- plished a great deal for the stock and agricultural interests of the country, a® ONE of the most interesting addresses at the recent meeting in St. Paul of the National Editorial association was that of Mr. A. Frank Richardson of New York. Mr. Richardson is a very soe- oessful advertising agent, and advertis- ing—a subject always of absorbing in- terest to publishers and editors—was the theme of his address. In the amount of practical suggestions oferod and of use- ful lessons derived from long experience, it may safely bo said that the several hundred publishers and editors who met at St. Paul heard nothing better than ‘was told them by Mr. Richardson, if in- deoed they heard anything so valuable. It was an address that every publisher ought to read attentively and consider with care and deliberation. MORNING. | THE MONTANA EXCURSION. In view of the manifested in Helena and erally over the proposed railwny noction between Omaha and the “‘rich- eat city in the world,” Tie BEE feels great interest Montana gen- con- very | that it should insist thut the exeursion | be not delayed beyond the month of August. If the busincss men who are to participate wait until October, tho working sonson will bo passed entirely and nothing can boe done toward the consummation of our mutual hopes until next year. If the joint meeting is held in August it is the railway companies can bo aroused to oarly mction, and they can at least be committed to the building of a line before snow falls, even 1f work be not actually begun this year. The following paragraph from the Helona fndependent illustrates the intor- est taken in this important matter at the other end of the lin Tho merchants of Omaha have accepted tho invitation to visit Montana and promise 1o be with us before the summer s over. The commorcial interests of Montana and Nobraska, jomed together for a purpose, will accomplish whatever they un- dortake, Let the “plan of camp, bo speedily arrangod and thon all work togeths for the rapid building of a railrond between the capital of Montana and the commercial motropolis of Nobraska. The v sudden tion of the board of trade to postpone the trip for the present will be a serious disappoint- ment to our Helena fri The reason given is of course plausible, but hardly sufficient to warrant the action taken. A small delegation of uctive business men would accomplish as much large one and the time to strike icon is when it is hot. Tur Ber hopes the board will reconsider its action and ar- range the proposed conforence for some time in August SENATOR SHERMAN A CANDIDATE. Senator Sherman is quoted ns saying that if elected to the United States sen- ate ho will aceept the trust. This is in effect an announcement that he is a can- didate for re-election. At the same time ho states that he does not propose to seramblo for the position, and it may be observed just here that if the next legis- lature of Ohio is republican he should not have to do any scrambli The inference from the reported talk at Cin- cinnati of Senator Sherman is that he has not tived of sorving the people of his state and of the country and if his constituents desice to continue him in that service he will be found ready to accept the trust and give to it the same conscientious care and on- tion that he has done for a generation. But ho is not going into any fight for it. He will do his best to secure republican victory, and no man in Ohio or else- where can do more, and if that is at- tained he will leave the question of ve- ward to the pleasure of the men whose privilege 1t will be to choose his succes- sor. This announcement of Senator Sher- man will give added interest to the Ohio campaign. It will place him in a position in the contest of equal prominence with Major McKin- ley. The question of returning Shev- man to the senate will occupy as large a share of the attention of the republicans the issues of the tavift and the free coinage of silver. The figure of the dis- tinguished statesman, who stands in the front rank of those who have made Ohio illustrious in the nation’s history, will loom up through every stage of the con- flict, exerting an influence that no other man is capable of. 1f the republicans secure the next leg- islature there ought to be no doubt re- garding the re-election of Senator Sherman, and probably will not be. So far as appears ex-Governor Foraker will not make any fight against the sonator, and there is no other aspirant, or at least none worthy of consideration. It is hardly conceivable thatas batween Sherman and Foraker an Ohio republi- can legislature could prefer the lattor. NET PROFITS IN MANUFACTURING. The Massachusetts bureau of statis- ties of labor has just issued a volume showing the net profits in manufactur- ing industries of that state. The statis- tics ave for 64 industries covering 10,013 establishments and representing 69.21 per cent of the total value of products manufactured annually in the state. Considerably more than half the estab- lishments in the state did not report as to net profits,” and of those that did report 9,251 were making a profit and 762 reported that they wero not making a profit. To stute it in another form, tho whole number of industric in Massachusetts is statod to be 23,431, and there was 57.27 per cent that did not roport, 30.48 per cent that made a profit, and 3.23 por cont that did not make a profit. The returns are loss instructive than would be the case 1l a larger number of establishments had roported, but from the presentation made it may bo assumed that six per cont at least of the industries of Massa- chusetts do not pay a net profit. Of the establishments reported the capital in- vested in those making a profit amounts, in round numbers to. $306,000,000 and the capital in those not making a profit to $70,000,000, being together a little more than three-quar- ters of the whole amount invested in all industries, Thus the ascertained facts show that 81.22 per cent of the capital invested in manufacturing industries in Massachusetts paid a profit and 18,78 per cent did not pay a profit. The value of the products of all the manufacturing industries of Massachu- sotts during the year covered by this re port, 1890, was in round numbers 3674,- 000,000, and of this amount $414,000,000 worth was sold at a profit and 000 worth sold at prices that did not al- low a profit. The value of the products of establishments not reporting as to profits was $207,000,000, With re- gard to the cost of production it is shown that a Massachusetts manufac- turer, on the average for each $100 worth of completed product (ready for sulo but excluding profit), expends 867.67 for stock, (including raw or manufac- wred materials), $1.98 for salaries, $25.65 for wages, 85 cents for rent, 64 cents for taxes, 38 cents for insurance, 81,46 for freight, 28 cents for new equip- ment, 93 cents for repairs, and 15 cents possible common detorm. ands. w8 a g for othor expenses, these items aggregating $100 or 100 per | | prics above cost of productic THE OMAHA cent il the items are sidered as percentages instead of dollars and conts. A« the result of three yenrs of mathematical ealeulation it is found that the Massachusetts manufacturer, on the average, has an excess of selling con- amount- wch $100 woeth of man- Of this excess he required, on the average, $2.15 for inter- est, $1.90 for deprociation on machinery, implements and tools, and 35,00 for soll- ing expenses and to make up for losses by bad debts. After these amounts are deducted he has remaining, a8 net profit, $3.90, which s equivalent 10 4.83 per cent on the amount of capital investod, or an annual roturn of #4.8. upon each 8100 of invested capital. It is possible that the manufacturing industries of Massnchusetts do not fur- nish the best basis for judging of the net profits of tho industries of other states. The iron industry in that stato, espe- clully, has been very much dopressed for several yoars, and this has had, undoubt- edly, more or loss effect in dotermining the not profit. Other causes not present in other states may have had a like effect. At any rate the showing warrants the opinion that the manufac- turing industries of the country are not a whole so greatly prosperous as is ommonly supposed, but are yielding onlya fair return on the capital invested. ing to $12.95 in ufactured product average TrE compilation presented olsewhe of the statements made by the national banks of Omaha to the comptroller of the currency, their condition July 9, presents a very satisfactery ex- hibit, It bears evidence in the growth of deposits to a reaction from tho busi- ness depression which prevailed for sev- eral months, and in other respocts it snows thatan improvement in condi- tions has been taking plac The banks are stronger than thoy were last Decem- ber, and in tho presont circumstances the is the that their condition will continue to im- prove. The prosperity of the country tributary to Omnha which great crops make certain will ba reflected from this time forward in the business of the banks of this city, and undoubt- edly their next statement will show a greater improvement than the present one does over the preceding statement, The Omaha banks have as goold stand- ing at Washington as any in the coun- try, and the fact that they are managed on vative and sound business principles is rocognized everywhero. howing assurance conser A ME of grain dealers and pro- ducers is called for July 20, at Lincoln, by the se s of the stato board of transportation to consider questions in- cident to the enforcement of the ware- house law. The subject of particular consequence at the meeting is the ques- tion of rules for grading Nebraska grains. Tho stato board of transporta- tion is charged with the duty of enforcing the law which goes into effect August 1. It is desirable that there should be an interchange of ideas upon tho subject in ovder that the benefits of this useful law may be realized as early as possible. A good attendance of representative men will help greatly to put the mac into motion SEVERAL of the spealkers at the labor meeting are honest workingmen and others are professional agitators. The meeting itself was respectable in num- vers and character. It is evident that the eight-hour law is favored by organ- ized labor in dull as well as flush times. ONLY a weok and a day until the meeting of the executive commitiee of the republican national central commit- tee, at which time Omaha must make herself heard as a candidate for national convention honors.

New York Her And be it unde rstood, practical businoss man who has deeply studied the question of postal telegraphy from the common sense point of view. In another column we publish an interview with Mr, Edward Rosewater, who Js in Paris making an investigation into tho desirability of the telegraph wires in the United States belonging to the government, and not, as at present, to private companios. Inreply fo those interested persons who say that governments ara naturally slow to adopt new Inventions, he quotes the case of the English government, which uses tho sextuple telegraphic apparatus, which, al- though invented iu America, has never been used thore, and sccondly, the Baudet print- ing telegraphfc apparatus used in France, which he considors far superior to anything in use in the United States. In a very practical manner Mr. Rosewater points out that the government, with the postal resources at its command, can very naturally carry telographic sorvice into dis- t where a private company could not make it pay its way. In consequence the postal telograph service In England and France far excels in perfection that of the United States. He says that the idea of tho telegraph departmont becoming a political machine is 1mpossible and nonsensical, - 7 SSIANG JESTS, New York Weckly: Depositor (breathlessiy) —is tho in?” Bank Examiner —No. ho's out.

R. Nissloy & Co. both parties consented to the appointment of Sherift Samuel McClay as raceivor. Judge Hall accordingly directed Mr. McClay to take charge of the stock of dry goods, grocerios, ete., make an mventory and report to the coart. Tho recelver is ro- quired to give bonds to the amount of #125,- 000. Harry Krug, one of the firm, has filed an amended petition which contains sensational features, Ho charges H. R. Nissloy and F, R. Wells, the other two parties, with having ontered into a conspiracy to cheat, swindlo and defraud him. The partuership expired by limitation on July 16, 1501, and he sought a dissolution.

Krug alleges that N 8250 to C. C. Ley, an agent & Co, without re sideration. Krug was but tho outlay was charged to the firm on its vook. He asserted that Ley was in the scheme, and as agent of tho Chicago firm was to insist on an immediate payment of its note if Krug should buy tho tho stock in bulk. This he believes was a couspiracy to hamper him and enable Niss- ley and Wells to buy the stock at much less than a fair price.
