THE RIGHT OF PROTEGIION Is an alien who has declared his inten- tion to become & citizen of the United ez entitled to the protection of this vernment when ia This very interesting question is raised by the case of Solomon Gerber, for soveral yoars a rosidont of Omalia, and now con- fined in a Russian prison, the details of which are printed in this issue of THE Bk, It appenrs that Gorber came to the United Statos about five yoars ago, leav- ing his family in his native town in Russinn Poland. In the menntime he had purchased property thers, and upon the death of his father last year he determined to go to his native land and bring his family to this country. On September 25, 1800, as the record of the district court of Douglas county shows, Gerber declared his intontion to bucome a citizen of the United States and to especially renounce allogiance to the cour of Russia. TLast Febru- ry ho went to Poland and some time after arriving there learnad that the authorities intended to arrest him-—upon what grounds is not stated. e Nled to Germany, but a demand hav- ing been made for his surrender to the Russinn authorities he was given up. He was convieted of the charge against him and sentonced to serve a year in the prison of the town where he had lived and then to be exiled to Siberia for life, the confiseation of his property being also decreed. rbor {8 now un- dergoing the first part of his sentence. It does not appear that the unfortu- nate man or any of his friends has made any effort to bring his case to the atten- tion of the diplomatic representatives of the United States in Russia, and the knowledge obtained of it by THE Bre was from private sources, These were 50 direct and trustworthy as to leave no doubt of the authenticity of the informa- tion, and we regard tho case as being of suificient importance to justify giving publicity to all the facts at command with a view to bringing it to the notice of the state de- partment at Washington. The despotic and relentiess poli of Russia toward the Jewi the subj h residents of that empire is cet of universal condemnation, and if Solomon Gievber hasa right, by vir- tue of his declaration of intention to be- come a citizen of the United States, to the protection of this government, that right should be promptly, vigor- ously and firmly usserted in his behalf. For more than three-quarters of a century the United States has held that naturalized citizens have the right of protection when in foreign lands equally with natiye born citizens, but how far the incomplete process of natur- alization entitles a person to protection is a matter of doubt, since, to quoto Prof. Woolsey, “it depends on the per- son himself whether he will complete tho act according to his expressed inten- tion.” A case in polnt is that of Koszta, who wans seized in a ‘Turkish port at the instigation of the Austrian consul general, next was put into the hands of the French consul gen- eral in consequence of the threat of force made by the commander of an American war vessel then in the port, and finally sot free to go to the United States. In the treaties between the United States and various countries relating to the rights of naturalized citizens, the claims of the original and the adopted country are so defined as to prevent conflict of laws as far as possible.

We are not aware that any treaty relating to this question exists with Russia, so that the course of our government in the Gerber case will be dotermined by precedents. We do not undertake to say what may bo done, or whethor the case in question is of a na- ture to warrant thé interforence of the government of the United States, but it cortainly appenrs to morit investigation by the state department, if for no other purpose than to ascertain whether this government may not proporly ask for a mitigation of punishment. RECIPROCITY WITH SPAIN. The most important thing accom- plished by the present administration in respect of the commereial interestsof the country is the veeiprocity agree- ment with Spain applicable to trade be- tween Cuba and Porto Rico and the United States. A year ago such an ar- rangement as is announced by execu- tive proclamation to tuke effect Sep- tember 1 next would '@ been deemed well nigh impossible, and even after the negotiations were entered into it was very generally believed they would fuil. Notwithstanding the pressing domand upon the Spanish government by the producers of Cuba and Porto Rico for reciprocity, omphasized by threats of revolution in the event of a refusal to comply with the domand, it was apffrohended that the financial necessities of Spain, largely supplied from the revenue obtained from the imports of hor islands, her com- merelal treaties with other nations, and her desive to protect her own trade with those islands from dam- aging competition, would compel her government to reject any conditions or terms proposed by the United States consistent with the plan of reciproeity. When the matter of reciprocity whs first proposed to the Spanish gov- ernment for consideration it was not favorably received, and the plea of treaty obligations with other nations was urged as aa excuse for tho indisposition of the ministry to enter into negotia- tions. There was reason to believe that foreign influence was being exerted upon the Spanish government, and for u time thore soemed little probability that any- thing could be done. The fair proposals made by the United States, hovever, backed by the at- titude of the people of Cuba and Porto Rico, produced a change of feeling in the Spanish ministry, and went to Spain the negotiation of a mutually satisfactory arrangement was speedily offected. Under this provisional arrangement a lacge number of the products ana mans | ufactures of the United States upon a foreign land? | when the special envoy of this country | which duties are now collected in Cuba and Porto Rico will enter those | islands froe, and others will ente there at materially lower duties than at prosent. The schedules ure espoc- ially favorable to the agricultural inter- est of this country, and although there will continue to b a moderate duty on flour, wheat and corn, the exports of these cannot fail to be considerably in- crensed. Very fow know the extent of our with Cuba, Porto Rico, and particularly the one-sided character of that trade. It is authoritatively stated that the exports to this country from Cuba alone, between 1859 and 1880, inclusive, to the valus of about #1,660,000,000, while for tho same period the exports of merchandise from the United Stafes to Cuba amounted to only about $450,000,000, the balance of commerce trade against us for the 30 years roach- ing the enormous total of $1,210,000,000. Under reciprocity it is ransonably to bo expocted that there will bo a matorial change in the trade conditions This country will continuo to purchase of the Spanish islands as much of their produsts as heretofore, but it will pay for them more largoly in our own products and manufactures than has ever been done. The merchants of thoss islands have better reasons now than ever before to prefer dealing with tho United States, and the benefits to our export trade of the arrangement entered into will un- doubtedly appear at one 'OR POLITICAL REASO. The republicans of the United States will agree when they have once thought the subject through that for polit- ical reasons, if for no other, Omaha should be selected as the pla for holding the national repub- lican convention in June, 1892. Tuke a pioce of cord to any map of the United States, and, after measuring the distance between Chicago and Omaha describe a circlo with Omaha as a center and observe that within the cir- cle will bo the commercial and political centers of eleven states, all of which, ex- pt one, are naturally republican. These states are Illinois, Missouri, Kan- as, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minne- sota, Wisconsin and Towa. Wyoming and the two Dakota’s were not admitted into the urfon at the date of the last presidential election. Their vote for state ofticers at their first elections, however, proves them to have been re- publican at that time. The following table, showing the re- publican votes in these states and the total number of votes cast for 1888 and for 1890, will be a very significant hint to the republican managers that the re publican party must carry the states of the central west or be defeated. = [ Vo, | inois Missourl Kansus Nebruski, lorado Wyoming .

An analysis of the vote by states will reveal a loss to the republicans in each instance far in excess of the ratio of decrease in the total vote of ench state. President Har- rison’s total vote in the union was 5,440,- 708. Adding the republican vote of the states west of those included in the above total (Idaho, Washington and Montana cast no vote for prosident, but are included), the ropublicans had in the eighteen states which are covered in this discussion nearly 1,900,000 votes, or more thun one-third of the popular vote of the union, for Harrison. In the Pacific coast and mountain states the farmers’ rovolt has not proved so di trous to the republicans. In the eleven states mentioned in the above table the independent party has its greatest strength and can do and has already done the republicans the greatest dam- age. There is, however, a stuy-at-home vote in the states named which is brought out by presidentinl elections numbering 280,000 votes. There are also a large number of ex-soldiers and ex-republicans in the independent ranks on state and local issues who will not abandon the republican pacty at a national election, The national convention at Omaha would beat a point most accessible to all the granger statesand the Pacific coast. It would be in the very center of the agricultural discontent. Its effect upon the republican party of the west would be electricaly its intluence in the next campaign potential. Without the sup- port of these great states the republican party must - face inevitable defeat; with their support the republican party will be victorious. Omaha is abundantly able and entirely willing to entertain the convention. The political situation demands that the west shall be recognized. Omurha is the hub of the central-western republican wheel. No other city has the strategic posivion nor s so accessible from every state and city of tho union, Omaha wants the convention and the republicans of the wost are back of her ambition eonthusi- astically oncouraging her to and demand it on their behalf, hove for HARY The railways have practicslly ngreed upon August. 25 und Septemnber 25 as the dates for the harvest excursions, Only one line is withholding consent to these dates and this one is probably advertis- ing those dates as are its competito The fact that the excursion tickets are on sale for the dates numed should be | very generally announced by the local press and loeal business orgunizations to the end that citizens may inform their torn friends of tho excursions and nd to them invitations to visit Nebraska on the low priced tickets, The importance of these two excur- | slons can scurcely. be overestimated.

Those of our friends who have not al- ready responded to the request will oblige itk Bek by doing so at an early dey. Tne Beg makes no charge for represonting Nebraska towns as they are, and asks for nd purchases of extra coples. Its purpose is simply to do its duty toward this great state as an enter- prising metropolitan newspaper. — THE PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO. After 800 yoars of servitude of the most debasing character, in which ho was treated as a chattel, subject to barter and sale in common with the brutes of the farm, a revolution occurred and out of it the black man of America emerged a freeman. He was ignorant, oppressed and believed himself to be of an inferior race. The am- bition with which ages of progress and liberty had inspired the Caucasian, and the inherited thrift which makes the Anglo-Saxon strong everywhere, were wanting. He was despised, ponni- loss and had no training which scemod likely to make him useful inany but menial occupations. To eap the climax of surprises for the blackman and in- crease his dangers and difficulties, he was given full citizenship in tho repub- lic without tuition and without previous instruction in the duties thus imposed, It was a great social experiment and it has been both evil and good for the race. In the face of these difficulties, in tho anidst of their former owners, and sur- rounded by men whose race prejudices wore the growth of centuries,and almost left to themselves by the general gov- ernment, the black men and women of the south have accomplished wonders. The negro has not been a failure. Heo has improved his time in the last twenty years as no other race in history hasim- proved it in the same number of years, In spite of a hostile environment the despised negro has omerged from the squalor of the cabin, the cringing sub- mission to the lash and the entire ab- senco of intelectunl opportunity and business necessity to a manhood which inspires the respect of every well mean- ing and well informed person in the country. There were 200,000 black men in the civil war, but thére was not one ed- ucated negro minister south of Mason and Dixon’s line, and there were no schools and no school teachers or school books. In 1865 there were two negro at- torneys, three negro physicians, two ed- itors and $12,000 worth of taxablo prop- erty among all the negroes of Ameri There were nocolleges, no high schools, no banks and no church prope rty. It is 26 yenrs, s8ven years less than than a generation, since 1863, but today the negroes of this country pay taxes on $263,000,000 worth of personal and real property. There are 749 physicians, and 654 ot these are college graduates. They have seven colleges, 17 academies and 49 high schools,all under the charge of negro teachers. Threo of the seven colloge presidents wore slaves. There are 995 college-bred negro minis- ters and 247 negro young men and women in Buropean eapitals studying foreign languages to veturn hers as teachers. A bank in Richmond, Va., with $500,000 capital is owned and con- ducted by black men and they are loan- ing money to their former masters. This is only a small part of the story of the glorious achievements of the negro race in America in a single generation. It 15 the request of tho leading ne- groes of the country that they shall bo given a special place in the exposition in which to illustrate their progress from the auction block to the national cupital, and from the overseer’s lash to the presidency of colleges and banks in thirty years. Their progress since emancipation is without parallel. They have a right to be proud of it and ought to have cvery opportunity possible to emphasize the trath that the negro possesses not alone emotions, physical strength and faithfulness, but mechani- cal skill, inventive genius and literary and forensic ability. Tho black man has been no failure, A COLORED man in New York sends a card to the New York Advertiser endors- ing the grand scheme of Sir Walter Raleigh Vaughn for pensioning the liv- ing ex-slaves.
