WHEN it comes to the cats-paw act with corporation chestnuts in the fire, the venerable Nestor of the Nebraska bar indignantly gets up and walks away Zrom the fireplace. e THE Nebraska hog grower will not for- ot that it was the reciprocity clause in the McKinley bill which made it possible to compel Germany to remove the em- bargo from American pork. INSTRUCTIONS have been given Minis- ter Egan to recognize the congressional government of Chili. Curiosity now pro- vails a8 to whether or not the new gov- ernment will recognize Mr. Egan, s ) HIPPOLYTE is again on the anxious .eat, and no wonder. The insurrection vhich threatens his power is under the weadership of General Blot. Hippolyte and his entire public carcer give indica- tion that a general blot is exactly what Hayti needs to restore her to respecta- bility. GENERAL RUSSELL A.

Vive la Franc OMAHA’S municipal pay roll, exclusive of Inspoctors and employes who work by the day, nggregates 821,804.96 per month, $262,739.95 per yoar. This is an enormous regular drain upon the oity treasury. Tt is large enough to excite the suspicion that it needs reorganiza- tion, pruning and reduction. + THERE can be no question about the ability of Judges Wakeloy, Doane and Hopewell, and it is a reflection upon the intolligence of the voters to imagine they cannot see the difference betwoen them and Magney, Minahan and Os- borne, whom the independents pick out from the scores of able attorneys in the district to supplant them. GOVERNOR THAYER made several good speeches at Grand Island among the numbor being an especially grace- ful response at a reception tendered him by the Woman's Relief Corps. The governor was a8 much at home in the role of cuvalier at Grand Island as in that of soldier and statesman. The press are touching him lightly, SuouLp Stephen B, Elkins be ap- pointed as secretary of war, it will be entirely safe to give the lie direct to all stories hitherto published stating that the president and secretary of stato are not on tarms of cordinl intimacy. If any man in America admires James G. Blalne more than our own John M. Thurston admires him, that man is Steve Elkins. —_— JusT about the time the thrifty farmer gnts ready to make o fortune cultivating nuw vegotable or fruit a damaging i sect comes into existence to reduce his profits and discourage his enterprise. The beet sugar industry of California was about to stand firmly on its feet and promised immense profits. A pest has bogun its dread work, however, and the sugar beet growers at Watsonville are soriously alarmed for the future of their infant industry. THE OMAHA DAILY BE PROMIBITION MISREPRESENTATION. Tre BEE has bocome so familine with | facturers will have beon deliberate and shameless falsification and misreprosontation on the part of the advocates of prohibition that it is never surprised at anything of the kind com- ing from that sourcs. The prohibition propagandist scems in and honesty, and while claiming the cause ho fights for 18 & mor he will not hesitute to resort to falsehood and slander in support of it. This was conspicuousiy shown in the proh.bition campaign in Nebraska, and the same deplorable disregard of truth and fair- ness is being manifested by the advocates of prohibition in Towa Evidence of this fs found in the edi- torial coiumns of a recont fssue of the Ottumwa Daily Courier. In an article opposing the liconsing of saloons the editor remarks that ‘‘last fall it was tacitly understood that the OMAHA BEE was remunerated hand- somely for fighting prohibition” in this state, and this is followed by a quotation from an alleged statement of Mr. Rosewater to the effect that high license is not a success in Omaha, is not properly enforced, and has been produc- tive of & number of evils. There is not a scintilla of truth in these allegations. They are pure and unmitigated fabrications, The first one, regarding remuneration received by THE F or by its editor personally, was made by the prohibitionists of this e, und at the time was met and fully disnosed of by Me. Rosewater himsalf. Tt was also denied and denvunced by some of the most prominent bankers and business men of Omaha who had full knowledge of the facts. The truth is that the prohibition campaign in Ne- braska cost the editor of THE BiE not only a great deal of valuable time and very hard work, but a considerable sum of money. At different times the Bankers’ and Business Men’s associa- tion, and not an association of liguor denlers, for there was none such in existence, purchased quantiti of Ture Bre for special cir- culation, paying therefor the regular price, and except in the way of this en- tirely legitimate business transaction this paper received no remuneration for opposing prohibition, and did not ask or expect any. The editor of THE BEEk fought prohibition because he helieved tho adoption of that policy would do for Nebraska what it has done for Iowa and Kansas in checking their progross and prosperity, and he needed no other in- centive to his course than the patviotic desire to save this state from the blight of prohibition. Rogarding the statement that Mr. Rosewater has said that high license is not a success in Omaha, but that on the contrary it is not enforced and has been productive of numerous evils, we have no hesitation in pronouncing it false in every particular. Mr. Rosewater could not make such assertions without stulti- fying himself, and he would not makoe them because they are not true. Nowhero in thiscountry hus high license been more successful than here in Omaha, nowhere is it better enforced, and nowhere are the evils incident to the liquor traflic less numerous than in this city. There is more drunkenness in some of the cities of lowa having one- third the population of Omaha than there ishere, and the same is true of Kansas towns. Mr. Ros ter was largely instrumental in sccuring the adoption of the high license and local option law of this state, and we speak from a thorough knowledge of his views when we say that he regards it with as great favor today as at any time since its enactment, and that he 1s satisfied with its results so far, ut loast, as Omaha is concerned. THE BEE has snid nothing about the prohibition issue in connection with the Towa campaign for reasons which secem to its editor to bo valid. It has oxpressod & desire for the success of the republican party in the election of this year, because it thinks it would be extremely unfor- tunate to allow the democratic party to obtain full control, or even retuin what it now has, at this time. Such a result would render Iowa a doubtful state in the presidential election, and might lead to a permanent break in the hitherto solid republican west. A demo- cratic victory this year would probably, indeed almost certainly, mean a gerrymander of the con- gressional districts and provision for the choice of presidentinl electors by dis- tricts, thereby insuring a part of the electoral vote of that state for the dem- ocratic candidate for the presidency next year. While we know that pro- hibition has been a damage to the ma- terial interests of Towa and believe it must continue to be, and thervefore should be abandoned assoon us it is practicable to do so, we do not doubt that it 1s more important to save the state from democratic rule at this time than thatv the prohibition law should be repealed. This we say asa republican paper, believing republican success in the nation to be necessary to the progress and prosperity of the coun- try. But we cannot permit to p noticed the falsehoods and misrepresen- tations of prohibition advocates, even though their exposure should operate against the political party whose suc- coss we hope for. cause un- PATRONIZE OMAHA INDUSTRY. The efforts of Tur BEE to awaken local patriotism among our citizens which shall induce them to give Omahua manufacturers preferonce wherevor pos- sible, nre bearing good fruit. The peo- ple with one accord second the proposi- tlon. The only thing they ask now is to be informed as to what articles of Omaha manufacture may be had in suflicient quantities. The manufacturers are greatly encouraged, and a number of languishing industries have alveady taken new life and give promise of im- portant future development. As suggested in Tue BEE of one week ago, steps have been taken looking to an organization of local manufucturers to help on the good work, A meeting has been called for the 21st of Septem- ber, and it is proposed to enlist every local manufacturer in Omaha in the as- sociation, Its purpose is very briefly outlined in the formal call and it is probuble no definite plan of operations has been carefully thought out at this time. In the course of the next fow | the manu- ystallized, And when they get together it will be o dnys, howevor, the idens of ratively simple mattor to consti- . useful and readily man- comy tute a comp: aged organization, The manvfacturers should ample headquarters and an cfficient soc- retary, The rooms of the should contain samples of every article manufactured in the city attractively displayed so that citizens would bo de- lighted to show visitors what is done here in the way of manufacturing. The seeretary should be not only genial, ne- complished and industrious, but thor- oughly acquainted with the business community. He should be a man of good address who ean keep Omaha wares be- fore the retail trade and awngen inter- st in the city generally, He should be backed by a strong executive committee which will give the ussociation all the time nocessary to make a success of the united ef- forts of its members, The secretary and the executive committoe should be strong enough to compel respeet and be sure of its position. The other member: of the association must be loyal and all work together for the upbuilding of Omaha manufactories. Such an organization properly man- aged can induce the retail dealers to assist them in their efforts. It can, at small oxpense, inform every citizen of Omaha exact! hat household and other articles can bo obtained in this city. It canso stimulate the industrie of its members us to compel them to in- crense their capacity and consequently the number of wage-enrning employos. It can within a brief period be strong enough to guarantee romunerative local support to factories looking hither for o location. This is far better than a bonus. It can in short make of itself an invalu- able element in the growth of Omaha and a profitable institution to its mem- bership. It isa good move from every point of view and deserves to be encour- red. secure nssociation CITY PARKS. The Board of Park Commissioners has invited proposals for the sale of lands to the city for parks inlots of from twenty to eighty acres each. The board has wisely abandoned for the present all idea of buying a large body of land a long distance from the city for an exten- sive park and will attempt to securc smaller tracts inside the city limits, thus giving to all seetions of the city suitable breathing places and adding greatly 1o the attractiveness of Omaha. Later it may be possible to connect the system by boulevards and squares in the central part of the city and so ultimately create here an arrangement of parks and vark boulevards which will be the pride of Omaha and excite the admiration of the entire country. The great danger to the proposition is that people owning land will put so high a price upon what they offer as to prevent the commissioners from pur- chasing. This will be very short sighted on the part of provrietors, espe- cially of proprietors with large tracts unimproved. In Minneapolis the fine systom of parks is tho result of liboral donations from public spirited citizens. The owner of eighty acres of land any- where in Omaha can help the ecity greatly and muke money for himself by donating a twenty-acre tract for park purposes. At all events gentler n who submit proposals should understand that extortionate prices will not be accepted by the board, and if the people regard the prices to> high when bonds are asked they will vote them down. It will be the part of wisdom, therefore, for bidders to offer their land below its market value. VILLAGE FARMING. The progress of the plan of village farming, which M. John W. Book- walter, a wealthy citizen of Ohio, pro- poses to introduce in Nebraska, will be watched with general and acute inter- est. That gontleman presents his the- ory of what is necessary to be done to remedy the isolation of the farmers in a most interesting way, and as a practi- cal man he intends to demon- strate that such a plan as he suggests can be suceossfully earried out. Indced he feels entirely secure in his position for the reason that there are many examples of successful village farming throughout France, Germany, Switzerland wnd other old countries, though hoe does not expect that a like system here will yicld as great benefits, Still, he observes, as the lamentable fact exists that our great agricultural interests are, 10 a great degree, in a state of unstable adjustment with the other factors and elements of our life that make up the in- dustrial, commercial and sociul body of our people, and as it is evident that just and stable adjustment therewith would result in vast and permanent benefits to our country, the trial ot any scheme, huving for its purpose this great object, even ilit should result in partial or com- plete failure, would be amply justified in the patriotic endeavor to aid in the ac- complishment of so grent and desirable a work. Mr, Bookwalter has evidently studied the situation of the farmers with respect particularly to the disadvantages of their 1solation, most thoroughly. Ho was born on o farm and passed his hoy- hood and early manhood under condi- tions similar to those which ave fully as operative today in driving young men to the towns and cities as they were when heleft the farm in obedience to the same impulse. Mr. Bookwalter has achieved marked succoss in the business world, but he has kept in touch with the farmers and has fol- lowed the progress of events closely, so that he has now, he balioves, a reason- ably accurate conception of the course of the present discontent and of the un- satisfactory condition of the farmers which this discontent evidences, His view is that the source of many of the farmers’ burdens is nis isolation, the lack of association and co-operation, the lack of united effort, the dif- fusion vather than tho conecentra- tion of energy. This he declares to bo the dominant and conspicuous cause of the disadvantage at which the farmers are in the greit industelal con wst, and he thinks it by nomeans necos- savily incurable or permuuent. Mr. Bookwalter is abundantiy abte to make igh test of his plan of villago o succeads in demon- ofits he hopos from 1t he iplished something of ance. If it shall be shown, ns Mr. Bookwalter believes will be, th without any sacrifice of indopendence, hut by voluntary co-opors tages may bo gained by each farmer, resalting in reduced cost of crops to ench, to say nothing of all the social and other heneffs 1o bo gained by living in close touchwith each other, farming may in ®me become general 1 this country. Doubtless thero are prac- tical difficulties in the way, but it can- not be said these are insurmountat a thor farming, and | strating the by will have vary great impo! THE STATE UNIVERSITY, The Nebraska State univorsity should be one of the groat institutions of learn- ing in this country. Its endowment is generous and the peoplo of tho state cheerfully vote it ull the funds neces- ry to succoss. The attendance has increased year by year, the force. of instructors has been enlarged with the growth of the attendunce and a more ambitious course of study has been outlined as the great school has added numbers and in fluence, Although not yet provided with aul the appliances and advantages of the modern university, it is moving forward to the position which every loyal eitizen hopes to see it attain within a few years. [t isa noble monument to the intelligence of Nebraska, a grand promise for the youth of the future and grows nearer and dearer to tho groat heart of the poople. Already the university has given to the state and nation men whose attain- ments have won for them reputations of “which any state in the union might justly be proud. Notably among these are Prof. A. GG, Warner, now of Wash ington, where he was called by the pre: ident to the responsible duty of superin- tendent of charities and correction, and Prof. George E, Howard, whose talents as an educator secured him an appoint- ment to a chair in Lelamd Stavford, jr., university. Al over Nebraska are men prominent in all the professions and leaders in every community who cherish the Nebraska university as their alma mater. The present year under the efficient divection of Chancellor Canfield prom- ises especinlly gratifying results. Al- rveady the widening culture which his eminent abilities have guaranteed are perceived in the opening of the law de- partment under guthority of the original charter of tho institution. The medical collégé was opened some years ago. This last departure very nearly completes the original plan of tho founders of the university. It makes a vniversity indeed. Whatever may be the opinion of tha reader upon the mooted question of the propriety of conducting professional schools at pub- lic expense, the fact remains that other states have built up just such institutions and Nebraska cannot afford to be left in the rear of th§ procession of educa- tional progressid Her people will not haggle over the frinciple; they are sit- isfied with the facts as they are, and will in the future, us in the past, cheerfully endorse every forward movement made by the regents of the university. Chan- cellor Canfield can be assured that the people of this great state stand behind him with theiv sympathy in his com- mendable efforts to make the Nebraska university better than ever before and better than any other young educaticnal institution in America. Nebraska will be satisfied with nothing less than the best her age, population and wealth can socure, and this means a really great college of learning. PROF, WARNER AND THE RAILROADS. When Prof. A. G, Warner was ap- pointed superintendent of charitios and corrections for the District of Columbia by President Harrison, it will be re- membered that the Nebraska senatorial delegation disowned him and insisted that he was from Maryland and should not be accredited to this state. The senatorial delegation had never heard of him and having recommended an old-time politician and office- holder for the place, were not a little in- dignant to find that this unknown college professor should have been se- lected. Mr. Warner grow up in N braska, graduated at the Nebraska uni- versity and had achieved some reputa- tion ms a writer upon scientific and economic topies before he was called to an important chair in Johns Hopkins university at Baltimoro. He was a pro- fessor in (he State university at the time of his uppointment and had done some political writing over his own signature. Nevertheless to the Nebraska senators he was a stranger and thoy were there- fore displeased that he should have been chosen to the position, notwithstanding \he was eminently fitted by education and experience. Mr. Warner may have been an utter stranger to all the politicians of the state, but judeing from an article in last weol’s Now Ypuk Ludependent entitlod “The Railrondsaond the Farmers of Ne- braska, " he is prétty well informed upon the politics of his state. He reviews with the skill sef positive information the relations “hich have existed be- tween the railwiy compunios and the poo- ple of NebraskaArid comes so near telling the exact truth’if regard to the situa- tion as to prove heyond a doubt that he has beon a ctriful and constant reader of Tur: Bex fod fiiseries of years. The articlo is very;camprehensive and occus pies three of the*wide columns of the great New Yokl Weekly. It sketches very brielly withe conditions which brought the pedfite and the railroads of the state into! fatimate commercial re- lations nad shows what a tremendous engine of good or of oppression the cor- porate power in Nebraska is whero no town “‘owes its existence 1o any spe- cial natural adyvantages connected with its location,” but is wholly depend- ent upon the railrond facilities and advantages it may be able to secye through the good will of the railroads. The farmer is likewise at the m the corporations, and when poor or prices low he koen this dependence. In the opinion of Mr. the railroads have not been candid in dealing with the peopl® of the state. Not satisfied with subsidizing crops a realizes Waurner important advan- | village | N | the best attorneys of the state to defend them and-aid them in poiitical manipu- latione they have resorted to all the tricks and intricacios of the law to bol ator up their earnings. In spito of the intorstate commerce law, diseriminations have prevailed and the roads have pro- farred to ignore public opint 1 the rights of putrons. When it suited them | to condemn a right of way they were lomestic corporations, Whea sucd the people they fell buck upon congres- sional charters or orgunizations with- out the state in order that they might wear out the complainant citizen in the United States courts, The writer then discusses the immense wenlth of the corporations and the fact that they all with one exception extend through one or move other states than Nebeaska and 90 per cent of their business is intorstate traffic, A resident general manager is paid a salary of $20,000 and the governor $2,500. Their annual gross income is over $60,000,000, while the stato revenues reach only to $1,000,000 or $2,000,000. The difficulty of state control is touched upon clally in view of their interference with the legislation and state government. In referring to this feature of the case Mr. Warner, while perhaps not justifiable in his refiections upon the personnel of the state government, shows himself to be well posted upon the manouvers of the corporations who by burefaced interference with the state convention of two years ago discredited the suprome court. Without attempt- ing to justify the extremists of the cppo- sition in tneir demagogic utterunces and want of accurate knowledge of the relations actually existing between the carrior and the producer, Mr. Warner sums up his conclusions in the following temperate and convineing language: A further consideration that, in a measure, explains the radicalism of both sides is, that the problems are so intricate and the equities of the case are so hacd to determine, that each side considers it safost to ‘‘claim every- thing,” and tosocure the largest possible share of what is claimed. But, in spite of all the demagogy and self-secking displayed by the combatants on either side, the situation, when carefully examined, tends to bring to mind a conclusion reached by Justin McCar- thy, in reviewing the history of chartism: “Political agitation exists and is formidable only by virtueof what is jast in its demands.” An improved condition of affairs woul1 re- sult if the resident managers of the railways could bring thomselves to accept frankly of quasi-public servants, and defend the rights of their companies ina manly and straignt- forward way. Heretofore their policy has beon so tortuous, and their spe- cial pleading so disingenuous, that even those who wished them well could not but rejoice whenever the farmers contrived to frighten them into being candid. A second remedial force would bea thorougn- goiue revision of our system of ocorporation law; butthatis along way off, foras yet tho lawyers seom to think that their inter- ests are furthored by a progressive ensuarl- ment of such law. Thé most hopeful sign of the times. however, is the improved organ- ization of the farmers So long as they are a disorderly mass of aggrieved individuals they ave bound to do ill-considered and burt- ful things. So long as they remuin a politi- cal mob, the legislative counterpart of mob violenco must be expected from them. But with improved organization comes power, followed by roapousibility and conservatism, Only when thoy are thoroughly and wisely organized can they defend their great inter- ests with fairness, diguity and success. espo- INSURANCE have companies in Omaha sustained in the last year losses nggregating not to exceed #200,000. Tt is stated on good authority that Omaha paid in premiums during that period $400,000. This city has a very eflicient five department and in consequence the rvisk is greatly re- duced. When the water [acilities were improved it was confidently expected upon assurances from local underwriters that insurance rates would bo reduced very percoptibly. In this hope wo have been disappointed. TiE Bk expocts within a few days to publish facts and figures which will open the eyes of our people to tho fact that this city is pay- ing higher rates of insurance than cir- cumstances warrant. ATTORNEY DICK i8 in no danger of disharment. The Douglas county law- yers' have never organized & disbar nsso- ciution. They have a bar association, but it is intended chiefly to influonce the election of judees of the district court and pass resolutions of regr esteem when its members pass over the dark rviver. When they cross the dead line of respoctability and integrity they are sufo from resolutions and attack. The bar association is of very littie con- sequence. Shysters are as eligible to membership as reputable attorneys. A man can obtain money from a defense- less woman upon false pretenses and yet remain in good standing in the Doug'as county bar. AS THERE is no early probability of real fizhting on the continent the great standing armies of Germany, Austrin and France ave playing soldier to show their strength and waste their powde The maneuvers ave very interesting but in these.days of terrific explosions, smokoless powder and tremendous ar- tillery, sham battles are almost X pensive as the genuine article excopt that no lives are sacrificed and private property is not disturbed.

There I8 quite a sermon In this one, told me by an old Scotehman who huppened to be scated fn the same carrlage with me, says writerin Frunk Leslie's. A Dundee navvy, on awakening one morning, told his wite of o curious dream that he had during the night. He dreamed that he saw a big tat rav coming toward him followed by two lean ones, und In the rear one biind one llo was greatly worriod over it, and swore that some great evil was about to fall upon bim.
