LYMAN ABporT is famous for his outspoken utterances and there- fore 1t is no surprise to hear him say as he said at Crostoun, Ia., that prohibi- tion in the constitution cannot make men temperate, OMAHA’S union depot is in about as promising condition as Joslyn’s hotol corner Ninth and Farnam.

Tae world reads the dotalls of the dloody battle between the warring fac- tions of the Chilians with horror but hope. It hopes the decisive engagement hus been fought and that one side or the other is 50 thoroughly defeated as toend tho war aud restore peace 10 the aggros- sive littlo republi DENVER has just celebrated the open- fug of one of the largest paper milis in America. 1t is an institution which the entorprise of Donver located in hor midst and the Queen City of the Rockies doserves congratulations upon the au- spicious oceasion. Meanwhile Omaha is doing nothing to secure a beet sugar factory and refinory nlthough she is the commercial conter of what is cortain to become the greatest sugar beet growing region in the world, ABOUT twenty physicians’ dinlomas have been **hung up” by the State Boavd of Health for further investigation. These are probably the “protested” dos tors from Omahn, but under the ruling of the state board no one is permitted to know who they ave or why this indig- nity and the expanse of a defense is put upon them, When the State Board of Hoalth is older it will know more and understand the Inw better. It will then come to the conclusion that the business of & public body is public business und any and all eitizens have a right to in= formation relativo to its transactions. TuE report regurding the condition of ecorn in Nobraska, as made to the Agrioultural departmentat Washington, is not so encouraging ns could bo desired, but it does not warrant any apprehen- ion that the yield in this state will not be greater thanin any preeeding year and entively satisfuctory. The most conservative estimates place Nebraska's corn crop for 1891 at not less than 160,000,000 bushels, which if realized will bo nearly twenty million bushels greater than the yield of the most bountiful proceding year. As there is excellent renson to believe that every bushel will be sold at a profit to the grower, the farmers of Nebraska have little reason to comptain of tho condition of corn, and it Is not understood that generally they ave complaining. At the worst, this year's crop will put $10,000,000 into the pockets of our producers, and it is likely to be much better than this. BEE. | | MR. HOLUREGE ON THE RATES Goneral Manager Holdrege of the B. | & M. in anote to Tie BEE published | clsewhere, makes somo statements which ara interesting if true. If they aro correct, and Mr. Heldroge can rely upon them, hagliould compiie a candid statement co) smmodity rates in Nebraska wit in Towa for the in- formation of tho of this state. The producers are not unreasonable, A fair showing of the actual conditions and a manifest willingnees on the part of the railroads todeal fairly with ship- pers in Nebraska, will go a long way toward establishing good feeling be- tween producers and ¢ 1t is not the purpose of the p bank- rupt the railronds. If they are misin- formed or imposed upon by demagogues in this matter it is partly the fault of the railway people who have never takoen them into their confidence but have per- sistently sought in and out of the legis- lature to prevent a fair exposition of the rate situation. The State Board of Travsportation has been the creature of the railways from its orgnnization. ‘It might long since have compiled the figures necessary for intelligent action upon this much mooted and exusperating subject. If this board is honestly of the opinion that Mr. Hol- drege is right, it should have the can- aor to say so and back up its candor with a clear statoment of the situation which every citizen eould rend and pass upan in his own mind. The trouble is thut the railways ave afraid of an abso- Jutely correct und exhaustive review of the subject. They insist upon throwing dust into the eyes of the public with tables of average tonnage and average rates per mi'sand ignoring the instances whera the public beli extortions f oxist. This policy hus been 50 long pursued that the people are not willing to aceept the unsupported statement of Mr. Holdrege or any other railway officer upon a question in which he is likely to be biased by interest. Either the rates are reasonable or they arc not reasonable. If they bear a proper relution to rvates in Iowa, tak- ing differences of conditions into account, they are probably reasonable. If not they are probably unreasonable. It would bo a very casy matter, it scems to Tit Bisk, for our three $2.000 railroad retaries to get together figures from rato sheets of the roads which would tically end tho controversy upon this proposition. If the rates are found to be unreasonable the board’s duty is plain. It shouid reduce them until they are reasonable. iplo rriers. ucers to ve QUESTIONS REGARDING IMMIGRATION. Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, who is chairman of thesenate committeo on immigration and has given that sub- ject n great deal of consideration, has submitted for public discussion twelve questions which cover about all the points that have been discussed in con- nection with this subject. Mr. Chandler ays if any move legislation is adopted it must be non-partisan and be well con- sidered, and he suggests that the gen- oral question is, do wo noed any more legislation, or only stricter administra- tion? Senator Chandler desives an expres- sion of public opinion on the proposition to enlarge the list of excluded persons, with a specification of new exclusions, and whether anarchists and sociulists shall be included among them; also whother immigrants from particular countries shall be excluded. He wants to know what the public judg- ment is regarding an educational qualitication and a property quali- fication, both of which have been proposed. He nsks for an_expression of opinion as to whether the head tax, which is 50 cents, shall be increased. He wants to know what is thought of the favorite method proposed by pro- jectors of legislation of requiring a con- sular certificate from the country of de- parture. He asks if all persons coming into the country across the Canadian and Mexican borders shall be examined with the same strictness as passengers by sea from Europe, and the head tax be collected from immigrants from those countries, or from Kurope through those countries. The absolutely excluded classes now are these: Idiots, insane persons, paupers or persons likely to become such, diseased persous, convicts, polycumists and parsons coming under a contract to labor. Senator Chandler solicits the opinions of thoughtful citizens on the questions propounded. To some of them he him- soll suggests conclusive answers. For oxample, ho obsocrves in connection with the question whether anav- chists and socialists shall be ex- cluded, that no urgent move has beon made to provide by law for their exclusion on account of the difficulty of defining the meaning of the designations. Obviously this is a difli- culty that it will be no easy matter to overcome. So with regard to an educa- tional qualification Senator Chuandler points out that a practical dificulty would be found in applying this test to families. A singlo ilustration will be sufficient to show this. Suppose it be requived that all immigrants abovo the p of twelve shall be able to read and write their native tongae—for it is presumed that no reasonuble person would require all imm- grants to know English—and the father and childven of a family ean comply with the requirements but tho mother cannot, shall she be prevented from coming into the country? 1t is safe to say that the intelligent judgment of the country would not approve such a law. Senator Chandler suggests several forms of the difficulty, but without con- voying any intimation as to whether he is favorable or otherwise to an educa- tional qualification. A property qualifi- cation would be a simpler matter to do- termine, the chief objection to it being that it would be a de- parture from the uniform policy of the government, still observed, that the character of the immigrant, and not his material possessions, gives him a claim to admission into the countr; Regarding the consular cortificate prop- osition, it is evident from the observs tions of Senator Chandler that he does not consider it to be @ practic judicious plan, The questions submitted by Mr, { Chandler ure sure to actively renew the { bie or | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUE discussion of the subject to which they relate, and he ought to he well plied, before the meeting of congress, with intelligent expressions of public | opinion covering all the points upon | which he desires such opinion.

AMERICA'S -OPPORTUNITY, o is now abroad Chauncey Dapew, w | and has made himself well acquainted by observation and inquiry with the crop sltuation in Burope, doos not oxag- gorate when he says that this is the grentest opportunity America has had for a deende to get rich. But i order to the fullest benefit from it there must be, as Me. Depew urges, no cornering of the mnrkets or at- tempts to create artificial condi- tions, Our gains will be larger by relying upon the naturnl or- der and allowing prosperity o develop in a normal, regular way, Let specula- tion stand back, says Mr. Depew, nnd wealth will pour in upon us. But if any corner is attempted the prosperity thab ixnow promised will not be fully realized. “The country will be more prosparous in any event. Nothing that speculation, in whatover form, muy do can provent this. But it is possible to rotard tho growth of an assured prosperity and to force conditions that will reduce the chances of realizing all the benefit reasonably to ba expected from our o3 coptional situation, and every movement that has for its object the withholding of wheat on a large scale is likely to produce this result. The latest advices from Europe indi- cate that the situation there has not ap- precinbly improved. In some portions the crops will be slightly better than i a few wee ago, but the iciency will not be ma- g than the esti of month ago. It is practic tled that Europe will need to import between two and three hundred imillion bushels of wheat, and will take that amount if it can be obtained at a price which the puoplo can afford to pay. But it may ot along with less if pricos goso high as to compel extrnordinary in tho uso of bread. On the other hand the latest reports indicate that the crop in this country has been underestimated, while that of Cannda promises to be very much largor than had been counted on, It would seem that at least 50,000,000 bushels should be added to the estimate: of a month ago, and in that case the United States and Canada wiil have a surplus of fully 200,000,000 bushels of wheat, Can thers bs any doubt that it would be a grave mistake to attempt to covner the markets with such an excess? Itcould not succeed, though the tem- porary effect might be to raise the price, but eventually the consaquence would be to demoraliza valuss, with the peobability that those who stood out longest in the cornering effort would be the wroatest sufferers from tho inevit- able veaction. Every intolligeat and practical man must seo that theve could be no other outcome of extended combinations to withhold wheat. This is indeed a great year for America, assuring a revival of prosperity in which all departments of industry and all classes of people will share. But in ovder to realize all that is possible from the splendid opportunity it is necessary to avoid all schemes which may have the cffoct to obstruct the natural course of trade and create avtificial conditions. Speculation, whatever form it may tnke and under whatever auspices or patron- age it may be conducted, is to be dopre- cated. obtain A PROUD SHOWING. Mr. E. M. Judd of Kearney, is now in New England on business of inter- st to his community, but he finds time to write THe Bek his endorsement of the scheme for an advertising train which the State Business Men’s association is pushing forward to success. He believes the plan well carried out would be of im- mense advantage to Nebraska ut this time because it would correct a great many gross misapprehensions which have grown out of events within tho last year or two. The east as a rula knows no difference between states in this section of the west. The losses susweined in oune are charged in a certain degree to the other. Nebraska’s real merits are confused by the successive misfortunes which have befallen investors in other states. All Nebraska needs is to get the facts before the people of the east. Theve is no oceusion for exaggevation, The truth is good enough and surprising enough to excite and hold the attention of eastern people. Nobraska ean domonstrate that she has the resources of soil, climate and productions to make her the groat- est and richest agricultural state in the union. She invites eastern in- vestors to examine her confident that the future will prove that whatever ssitudes have attended western in- vestments generally those who hav chosen Nebraska as their field of opera- tions will have no cause of regrot Mr. Judd furnishes Tii Ber some figures compiled from government re- ports which will surprise most Nebraska rendors who have not given the subject attention. From 1880 to 1890 the percentage of increase in the yield of corn ovor the ton yaars from 1870 to 1880, for Illinois was 19 per cent; fowa, 70 ver cent; Kansas, 160 per cent; Ne- braska, 498 per cent. The yield for twenty yoars during which a larger purt of the corn nren of Nobraska was new ground one-half bushel por acro more than that of Iowa; 54 bushels more than Kunsas and 88 bushels more than Illinois. For the'same ten years the wh yield inereasad 17 per cent in Iilinoi per cent in Minnesota; 99 per cent in Kansas and 850 por cent in Nobraska, while Iowa decreused 2 per cent. The comparative increase in the num- ber of swine, cuttle and horses is like- wise startling. For the ten years extending from 1870 to 1580 in { Nebraska the increase of swine wa 2,100 per cent; cattle 950 per cent; hovses 673 per cont.

CLARKE Ga has taken up the question of the treatment of indigent sick and injured with the county board on his own account, hav- ing grown weary of the tedious del on the part of the city and county at- torneys.

LET the board of county commis- sioners, city council and board of educa- tion get togethor and agree upon a proper division of the exponses of the November election. There must be no neglect in this matter. Omaha and Douglas county cannot afford to unnec- essarily increase the cost of elections under the new law. PLANK sidewalkis are an unmitigated nuisance and no moro should bo laid on any strects brought to grade. The order of the council prohibiting wooden walks within the fire limits is a -move in the right direction. Omaha’s sidewalls are a disgrace to a metropolitan city.
