MINNEAPOLIS has seventcen parks, largo and smali, and ten park ways or boulevards, Minneapolis possesses some advantages over Omaha. SMALL potatoes and few in a hill is an antiquated and quaint but effective way of sizing up the legal attainments of the independent candidate for justice of the Nebraska supreme court. AND ISLAND always makes a suc- cess of annual gatherings of old soldiers, and the Nebraskan who fails to partici- pate this year will miss what promises to be the best of a series of excellent reunions, A DECISIVE battlo is again said to be imminent in Chili--but what is the use of worrying nbout a contest between such peerless pervaricators. After the battle, if it ever occurs, the victory will be claimed by both sides unless one side is annihilated. SECRETARY JOUNSON and Calamity Bill Dech have probably buried the hatchet with the hilt down and the handle still within reach, though it hardly seems possible that either will have any disposition to blow the horn for its resurrection. BRICKMEN in Omaha who consider their prices unremuneratively low owing toalack in building entorprises may possibly be comforted in the thought that Denver manufacturers sell brick at #4 per 1,000 at the kilns, a reduction in price of 50 per cent within a year, i — THE fact that Jay Burrows admitted before the state hoard of transportation that personally his ignorance of railway rates is ns dense as that of a Hottentot must not bo taken us evidence that the people genersHy are so illy versed in a matter o dircetly affecting their welfare, AFT] he reunion comes the state fair, and the state fair will be the great- est show of Nebraska products ever made, for the very good reason that Nebraska never before had so many products to show or so much excellence in quantity and quality from which to seloct samples INASMUCH as the democrats of Towa nominated their entive ticket from coun- ties skirting the eastern border of the state, it is only fair to suggest that they depond upon those countios for votes. The republican ticket recognizes every soction of the great state, fairly distrib- uting the honors, FOSTER, thé St. Joseph weather prophet, is the last resort of the calam- ity crowd. He predicts killing frosts about the middle of September and on his prognostications hang all the hopes of the shricking orators who are Insist- ing that the western farmers ave on the verge of bluo ruin. A dying man will grasp at a straw. OREGON has a board of railrona com- missioners that dares to reduce local freight rates on roads in that state. Without regard to the merits of the action taken in the Webfoot state, every Nobraska republican wishes that the Nebraska board of transportation had nerve enough either to reduce the rates or explain frankly and fully why there should be no reduction. . THE Virginia alliance is seeking the defeat of Senator Daniel, while the Ohio alliance announces its desire for the sealp of Senator Sherman. If thoalliance eucceeds in both cases two ot the ablest loaders of the two great partios will be retired to private life. It would be a genuine misfortune to the two states and the country to lose John Sherman and John W. Daniel from the American senate. It would be a crushing humili- ation to Amoricans should their places be filled by two more Peffers. CORN FOR EUROPE, In his eloquent address at the board of trade banquet Hon. John L. Webster said: *“I'he demand will soon come from lurope for a substitute for flour, at such prices that the poor can buy. We point to our rich corn belt as the land that ean produce this substitute.” [f the es mates of the deficiency of wheat and rye in Burope are verified at the completio of tho hurvest, and there appears no rea- son to doubt that they will be, there will certainly be w very much larger Europenan demand for American yin than ever before. In the presence of threatening starvation, even now the outlook for millions of people, the prejudice against the use of corn as bread will give way. The hung masses of Europe, too poor to buy wheat flour in sufficient quantities to satisfy their wants and unable to procure rye bread, will reject the ridiculous that corn is unfit for human They will take it as a ter of necessity ar will learn to eat it, and when they have done this there be created a and growing this food. mat- will large demand for cereal. As has been stated heretofore, the efforts thus made to introduce corn into Burope as food for the prople have not encourngingly ssful. It is quite possible that these have not been 80 thorough as could desired. A comprehensive plan was outlined for presenting at the last Paris exposition the claims of.corn to the popular atten- tion, but it wasg not carried out, ns the design contemplated, and consequently the immediate results did not repay the labor and outiay involved in the under- taking. Possibly the way was opened to future good results which the present crop sitvation abroad will hasten. Prog- ress has heen made within the past year or two in extending the use of corn in Great Britoin, but it has been slow. 1t cannot fail to be hastened by the exist- ing conditions, Some two years ago the suggestion was mado that the states of the corn belt unite in making a grand exhibit, or porhaps more than one, of that cereal in Burope, in which the many mecthods of preparing corn for food ecould be shown and foreign cooks instracted in them. Such an exhibit in London and another in Paris or Berlin, where all the forms of corn bread, cakes, rolls and other palatabie and nutritrious dishes to be made of corn could be supplied, would undoubtedly have a most bene- ficial result in educating Europeans to a tuste for corn and overcoming the prejudice against that cereal. It is to be admitted that such a scheme may appenr at first thought to be somewhat impracticable, but it cannot be said that it is absolutely incapable of accomplish- ment. The chief difticulty, and per- haps the only one at all serious, would Dbe to secure united action by the great corn-producing states, but this ought to be attainable. At any rate, existing conditions seem to give peculiar valuo nnd force to the suggestion. The United States will have the largest yield of corn this year in its history. Europe will want bread and there will not be wheat and rye enough to supply the demand. The only substitute is corn. There has never be- fore been so good an opportunity to demonstrate the merits of that grain as human food, and it should be improved to the lasting benefit of both consumers and producers, been su¢ be RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA. Within two months commissioners representing the Canadian government will be in Washington for the purpose of negotiating a treaty of reciprocity be- tween the United States and Canada. It appears that the British minister at ‘Washington has not been idle regarding this matter, but has been anxiously en- denvoring to arrange a basis of negotia- tion with Mr. Blaine, it is said with in- diffeent success. According to a report sent from Washington to the capital of the Dominion, the only encouragement the British mini ter has received from Secretary Biaine is contained in the remari ‘Well, let Canada state how far she is willing to go and we will consider the matter,” There is no reason why the mnister should have expected anything wore definite or encouraging than this. It will be remembered that the lat premier of Canada was guilty of a gross breach of confidence in connection with the initiatory steps in the proposed negotiations in allowing a public disclosure of correspondence in- tended to be confidential between the two governments, and also that the tory leadors misrepresented what had taken place. In view of these circumstances the president and secretary of state would show little regard for the dignity of the government il they again put themselves in a position where con- fidence might be violated and they mis- ropresented, and it is entirely proper that they wait for the Canadian govern- ment to submit its proposals, If reports are trustworthy, the pres- ent premier is really anxious to effect some sort of reciprocity arrangement, It is said that he recently sent a leading conservative politician to Washington charged with the duty of repairing the damage that had been allowed to be done by his predecessor, and to secure influence believed to have some potency for promoting reciprocity negotintions, but @it is not stated that there have been any satisfactory results from this mission. It is also u nounced that the present Dominion gov ornment is disposed to go somewhat farther than its original programme of veciprocity, which ceatemplated little more than the free exchange of natural produets, but it would exclude from any plan articles imported into Canadu in large quantities from England., 1t1s hardly to be doubted that adherence to this would prove a serious and per- baps insuperable obstacle to negotia- tions, But it is evident that the sontiment of the present Dominion gov- ernment in this mattor is much more liberal than that of its prede and if it be truo that it will propose equal privileges to Awmerican and Canadian | grain luden vessels passing down the St. Lawrence canals, and offor to Ameri- cun fishermen free accoss to Canadinn wators, there may be developed in this country a much stronger and more gen- A AAAu eral sentiment than now exists in favor I of reciprocity with Canada | THE OVEN BOARD. <‘ to remom- Omaha will have oceasion ber August 20, 1891, as o land mark in | her earcer of greatness, It marks the | rinning of an enterprise which groat results to her | business intorests, It was distinguished b most important event—the birth of ayg Some of the doubters may despise the beginning because it seems small, per- haps in their eyes insigniticant, but it is a beginning and no enterpriss can come great without a beginning. 1t is worth somathing to the business inter- ests of Omaha to have a center where trading in farm products is posssible. It is worth a great deal more to concentrato the grain and commission men in a sin- gle building and interest them in a sin- gle dircction. It is worth everything in the beginning to have an open board where denlers at home and from abrond may meet for teado, No eiti of Omaha or member of the board of trade imagines for a moment that a fiat grain market is possible. very reader knows that a commercial conter cannot be created by a resolution of a business organization. A market cannot be created here until public warehouses, private elevators, flouring and mille and malt houses are opened. We cannot buy and sell grain in Omaha as the dealers and speculators buy and sell in other markets until we provide for the ge, consump- tion and roshipment of grain at this point. Our grain dealers can however, perding the development of these elements of a market. buy and sell on the Omaha board for the Chicago and St. Louis markets, and this is no small busine: It is necessarily the begin ning, and the success attending dealings of this character will effeet the future of Omaha as a grain center vory mate- vially, It is for the future especially that we all congratulate ourselves upon the present outlook, beciuse a successful open board now means a great grain busin in the not very distant future. auspiclous promises ont grain market. cerenl stors CLARK WOODMAN, whose untimely death is roported from Chic man whom most people in Omaha knew cither personally or by reputation. He has been a prominent figure in basiness les in this city for nearly a guarter of a century. Here he built up a large fortune, in the making of which he also contributed to the growth of Omaha. He was a loyal man to his friends and busi- ness associates, a skilful manager of large interests, domestic in his tastes and practical in bis ideas upon all sub- jeets. He posscssed and deserved the respect and contidence of the commun- ity, and his death comes as a personal grief to business and social circles in the city. His lovely home in West End and his mammoth linseed oil works on North Seventeenth street are the most con- spicuous monuments to his enterprise and successful career, but there are also charities and contributions to public movements which have never been her- alded, but are gratefully remembered. s bereaved widow will have the sym- pathy of this entire city in her over- whelming sorrow No enterprise promises beuter roturns inOmaha today than the organization of a grain elevator company which shall operate under the new warchouse law and receive grain for storage upon which warehouse receipts are to be is- sued to be used as collateral for advances upon the stored grain. The profits of such a company would bo remunerative and it would greatly assist in develop- ing a local market forNebraska grain, The sumo company under another or the same name could also advance money upon these receipts and so real- @ storage fees 1n the elevator or ware- house and interest upon the moncy loaned. The security would not only be absolutely perfect but the company en- red in the business would be in con- trol of that security as well as the re- ceipts issued against it. For a safo bus- iness venture thore is nothing open to Omaha capital superior to one of the character abov i Kan rejoicing over the conclusion of negotiations whereby a 2,000,000 cotton mill, to employ 2,000 nds, is secured. A bonus of 110 acres of land is the inducement which the Anglo-American milling company se- cures by establishing a plant ai th mouth of the Kaw.

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. The new form of home rulo for Ireland, as defined by the bill framed by the Home Rulo union, gives tue Irish legislature, which is called a “‘parliament,” the control of internal trado and the power of endowing secular edu- cation. It also loaves tho Irish parliament at liberty to deal with tne land as it pleases, instead of rosorving the agrarian question to the imperial assembly at Westminster. But it is in tho machinery for presorving the public peace that the most deoisive changy is made. The Ieish parliament may take over the Dublin Metropolitan police at onco in stead of after an interval of two years, and it is empowered to entirely disband the con- abulary in five years, while on fourteen s' notico a corps may be discharged in any district in which the Dublin executivo can set up an efficiont substituto. Again, al- though the old members of the judiciary are to keep their ofices, all tho rosident mugis- trates may bo dismissed at the bidding of the Irish parliament, There are to be no poers, but tho membors of the upper house, or sen- ate, are to be elocted on a property franchise. ‘1lie senato’s powers are by no means co-or- dinate, for any of its votoes can be over- ridden by the lower house upon tho lapse of a yoar after a gencral election, There is no doubt that the Home Rule union bill would have supprossed the second chamber alto- gother but for the apprehension that in the absence of such a body the imperial parlia- ment might feel justified in actively exorcis- ing a voto on Irish legislation. As regards the number of Irish members tobe retained at Westminster, no change in the present quota is mado by the proposed bill. Lord Salisbury, on the other hand, has lately expressed a conviction that the repre sentation of [roland should bo reduced pro- portionably to her vopulation. And Mr. Gladstone has several times indicated an opinion that fower than 103 lrish members would suftice at Westminster aftor tho estab. lishmont of a parliament in Dublin. The authors of the new schemo retain the Irish members in tho full strength fixed by tho nct of union, with the avowed object of guaran- teeing Ireland under the new regime against coercive interference on the part of the im- perial parliament. There is no doubt that this bill will be incomparably more accopt- avle to Irish uationalists than was that of 1836, It 1s hard to see how even Mr. Paruell, although he is now a predotermined eritic of Gladstobian measures, could tind fault with it. It gives to the Ivish legislature the cou- trol of the resident magistracy, the power of dealing with internal trade and of endowing secular education, the control of the constab- ulary and of the Jand. { A The Chinese emperor has Issued a decreo guaranteeing protection m China to forcign missionaries, whose function is already roc- ognized by treaty, and in this document ref- erence is made to the “powerful outlaws’ who are stirring up discord among the na- tives.

This great ofticer, who is viceroy of Petchili, is a kinsman of the admiral of the fleet and the viceroy of Canton, and his adherents in all parts of the empire are numerous and powerful. He owes his horors entirely to the dynasty he is said to be now seeking to overthrow, and his age and physical feeble- ness almost preclude the inoa of his leader. ship of a popular rebellion that would endan- er his present powers and possessions with no secure promise of ultimate aggrandize- ment. As an accomplished commentator has suggested, he is elovated above the sphero of ordinary ambition, and is bound by the strongest ties to the throne. That there is some potent influence at work in fostering this rebellion caunot, however, be ques- tioned. It is aided by many secret societies, of long standing in China, and notably by the Koagwhei , an association that enlists peoplo of all ranks, from governors of prov- inces to discharged soldiers, in embroiling the present government with foroign nations and so improving the opportunities for suc- cessful revolt. The Kolagwhei's work is clearly discornable in the outrages in the Yang-tse-Kiang rogion, where loug drouths have destroyed the crops and tne surviving remnants of the starved population are ready tor any excess. The prompt action of the French naval commander at Kiukiang and the presence of Buropean war ships at other open ports have apparenty prevented further attacks on resident whites, and tho reinforcoment of the American Asiatic squadron offers an additional safoguard to Amoricans, It is notaolo that Li Hung Chang has so far offered no open opposition to the insurgents. That Russia has ground for her supreme self-reliance and is at least as independent of external support or friendship as any oth country is mamfest from the events of this year. Gathering in her outly- ing financial resources, she scemingly invited conflict with the money kings of finaucial centers destined to bo disastrous to herself. But, nov such was the result. The great ex- changes were affected and values shaken, whilo the vast resources of tho east- ern empiro cnabled her to go on as undisturbed as if she were first among creditor countrics instoad of . debtor. Kol- lowing the sharp financial movement, at onc a warning and a punishment to her oppon- cats, comes the grain odict, which keops o leading food staple within her own borders and causing instant suffering and embarrass- ment to Germany, hor chief customer and nearest military rival. * The rye eating Ger- man masses are troubled and no hut in’ the smallest hamlot of Rhinoland fails to realize how heavy is the haad and how long the arm of tho great white czar.
