PEREADPS the press corvespondents do not realize how little the public cares whether Vera Ava is Dis Debarre or some other crank ive cents, THE same old European war cloud has blown around into sight. Of course its shadow rests upon Constantinople. No European war cloud for a half contury has ever failed to lie between Constanti- nople and the sun, SILVER miners at Pribram, Bohemia, working cight hours a day in tho gov- ernment mines aro paid from 40 to 65 cents a day. It will bo remembered in this connection that Austria of which Bohemia is a province, is making about the longest and loudest Furopean protest against Mr. MeKinley’s tariff bill. T democratic orators who are to make a speaking tour of the northwe: are called a party of political peda- gogues and they aro said to bo on a mission to teach the people. This is probably o typographical error and should read a party of political dema- gogues whose mission it is to mislead the people. TaE Douglas county independents have nominated a ticket which is above the shadow of a suspicion that thoy want to fuse with either of the old parties. Not only so but thoy have distinctly warned the gentlemen on the ticket to keop out of the old party camps and have unreservedly announced that they Pproposo to go it alone. THE Stato Bourd of I'ransportation is inviting the severest sort of treatment from the state conventions by its inex- cusablo delay in the matter of fixing o maximum rato of freight charges for the railroads of Nebraska. The republi- can stato convention will be obliged to express its distrust of the bourd and to denounce the subtorfuges to which it has resorted to avoid its plain duty, THE one fam * name on the inde- pendent county ticket is that of Dan Burr, the nominee for county commis- sioner. Ten and twelve years ago Daniel was a candidate for oflico on the green- back ticket. He has a faculty of getting nomination upon tickets which are snowoed under at elections and yot the genial Seventh warder is not a hoodoo. It is merely a fad with Dan to associate himself with wealk parties. Ho likes to be the under dog. MRi. ROSEWATER writes from Bo- hemia thatin the vicinity of Prague nearly every town of 5,000 people boasts of a be igar refinery. This may puggest somo idea of the future of the beet-sugar industry in this section of America. Within 250 miles of Omaha time will see more sugar beots grown and more sugar manufactured from them than in any other purt of the world—possibly move than inall the world beside. The sugar boet industry in this country is in its very youngest infanc Tue Superior Z¥imes thinks Omaha is wasting time in “talking up a railroad scheme from that city to:Duluth” and Buggests that instead sho induce the Northwestern to reach down into Kan- sas and the Santa Fe to build into Omaha. The Z¥mes is halt right and halt wrong. The Duluth connection is important, and it is no waste of iime to dis- cuss it. The southwestern connection is likowise important, and Tue Bee has frequently called attention to the advantages which such a line would afford the Omaha market. These counections will all como sooner or later, but it is to be hoped the Super- ior T¥mes and all the southwestorn news- papers will help THE Bee to bring the changes which may lead to the early counstruction of the extensions named. PUSHING THE HOME MARKET. I Tite Bei has been groatly gratified by the endorsement given its efforts to | awaken interest in local industries and to encourage a home market for home It has entered upon a “‘cam- jaign of education” in this matter, and finds its patrons apt and willing pupils. The home manufacturers have been stimulated by our efforts to organize an tion, and they look to the future newed interest and hope. THE is the only newspaper in Omaha half of Omaha industry, but the enthusiasm and patriot- ism which have thus far resulted from its earnest advocacy of the principle of ronizing home industry is a satisfac- proof of its influcnco upon the com- munity and areward for services already vendered The products, assocl with r BEF making a eampaign on b investigations made by our reporter ave revealing to the people of Qmaha the presence of indus- tries which have been hitherto practi- cally unknown. The sentiment is idly growing up in Omaha that bonuses and extraordinary inducements are not 80 potent or necessary in building up factories here as patriotism and the Most of citizens re patriotic th to make gacrifices if necessary for the gencral good of the city. They may not be as thoughtful of their duty in this particu- lar a8 circumstances demand, but on their attention is direcied to their duty they recognize it upon sight and cheer fully enter upon its performance. Thi fact has been illustrated time and in THE BEE'S reports of the prog this * vign of educ 3 statements of manufacturers who have directly felt the benefits of the agitation now being carvied on. The number of citizens who have quietly given orders to their grocers and others to supply them with Omaha goods only be known in o general way, but that the interest is spreading is admitted by every local manufacturer of articles in steady and common use. The good work must go on. The indi- vidual citizen must sccond the efforts of Tiik BEE to educate the Omaha public to its duty. The manufacturers must see to it that our citizens ave informed a5 to what articles can be purchased in Omaha which are of Omaha manufae- ture. The association, when or, can do much toward informing the peo- ple whore Omaha goods are sold and what varioties It will also estab xhibit which shall be open to the public and will assist in edu- cating the people The seeretary, if he proves to be the right man in the right pla will be a host in himself in this line of duty. We must all work together, having in mind constantly the fact that there are 168 factories in Omaha now employing 12,000 wage earncrs and directly sup- porting 60,000 people. We are striving to give these factovies the entire trade of Omaha in the lines they represent, lknowing that if this be done they can udd not less than 6,000 employes inside of eighteen months and thus increase the population of Omaha by not less than 30,000 souls.

The census bureaun has just completed the compilation of the facts obtained regavding tne amount of the real estate mortgages of Kunsas, its investigation including both farms and ecity lots, ana the result is something of a rebuke to the people who have been representing that Kunsas was hopelessly in debt. At the time the statistics were gathered the real estate mortgages in that state amounted, in round numbers, to$233,000,- 000. The assessed valuation in 1890 was $200,000,000, excluding railvoad property valued at $57,000,000. By this showing it appears that the mortgages on veal estate amount to within $55,000,000 of the total assessment on veal estate and personal proporty of the state, but when it is borne in mind that the assessed val- uation is hardly more than one-fourth of the real, the condition of aff: does not weur so bad aspect. The census ofticials think it fair tosay that the land mortgage debt of Kansas is about 27 per cent of the estimated true value of all taxed real estate, and they put the average amount of debt por movtgaged acre at 36,65, IKansas is un- questionably heavily in debt, but the condition of her people in this respect is by no meuns so desperate or hopeless as the calamity eriers proclaiming., According t» superintendent of the census, largest debt exists in section where there is the greatest prosperity, and where there has been an advance in improvements. The great crops of Kansas this yoar will enable her people to make a matevinl reduction of their mortgaged indebted- ness, and a few yeurs of prosperity would relieves them of a levge part of this burden. Meantime the official facts, which refute ths miscopresentations rogarding the condition, of afairs in Kansns, ought to be of considerable service to the state in restoring confi- dence in its future. an have the the the been SLOW PROGRESS AGAINSI TRUSTS. Reports coming from Washington in- dicato that the United States district attorneys are not making very rapid progress in propuring cases against tho truits, One correspondent who a few days ago interviewed the attorney gen- eral learned that two or three district attorneys had written that they believed they had cases which would stand the sevuting of the grand jury, and that others were still making investigations, hut on the whole the information which the Department of Justice was enabled to give was not altogether reassuring Still there is expect that somo of tho trusts will be arraigned when the October terms of the United States disteicy courts begin. The at- torney general said the law will present many new and different points, which as yet ko has not oxaminel, One of the important questions which renson to arises in obtaining testimony from HE OMAHA DAII trusts i the to compel oMeials of the power of the government them to testify under the section of the revised statutes which provides that ‘*‘no pleading of a party, nor any discovery of evidence obtained®from a party or witness by means of a judicial proceeding in this or any foreign coun- try, shall be given in evidence, or in any manner used against him or his property or estate, in any court of the United States in any criminal proceed- ing, or for the enforcement of any pen- alty or forfeiture.” The question of the effect of this statute will be before the supreme court next month, whon it is expected a decision will be rendered as to whether or not the statuto sutficiently protects a witness to deprive him of the privilege of rofusfug to testify granted by the constitution where testimony may be used ngainst him. It has been decided inthe lower courts that the wit- ness was obliged to testify, and if these jsions are sustained by the suprome court, the officers of the trusts will have to choose between the alternatives of giv- ing their testimony or going to prison. But if, on the other hand, tho supremo court oyerrules the decisions of the lower courts, a very g obstacle will be put in the way of a successful prose- cution of the tgusts and of all combina- tions of that nature existing in violation of the la THE NEW YORK REPUBLICANS. The republicans of New York have good reason to be confident of victory this year. They have a strong ticket, their platform h L singlo weak or faulty plank in it, and all the conditions are favorable to them. The ticket ap- penls espedally to the young voters of the state, nearly all of tho men on it being comparatively young men, whilo the high character of the candidates merits the respect and confidence of the olde s of voters. The nomination of Mr. Fassett for governor is seen to be the best the party could have made, and this regardless of the question whether or not it was dono upon the counsel of Mr. Platt. The more candid newspapers in opposition to the republicans admit that Fassett is anable and honest raan, well equipped by experience in public affairs to perform the duties of chief executive of the state, and a man whose public and private rec- ords are without a stain. uch a man is not likely to be the creature of any one and cannot bhe condemned beeause he happens to have the friendshipand supportof men whose political methods have caused them to be di: Mr. Fassett is an earnest and aggressive man, who will doubtless give the republicans of New York a more vigorous campaign than they have known for many years. He has already indicated what the characterof the fight on his part is to be. Ho intends that it shall be n mpaign of educa- cation and organization. Having nothing to conceal he demands that the lights shall be turned on. **No personal detraction,” says tho republican candi- date, *no personal abuse, no holding up the light of false -issues, no tolera- tion of fulsehoods and misrepresenta- tions. There is enough for ever ost American citizen to think about and to come to conclusions about without sensational falsehoods and personal de- tractions of any name or nature what- ever.” With a campaign conducted on this high plane tho republi- cans of Now York will at least deserve Tho platform does justice to the administration of President Harri- son, which every day grows sironger in the confidenco and respect of the Ameri people. It is straightforward in commending the revenuo legislation of the last congress, which has alr been productive of very grest benefits to the countr; It spenks with no doubtful or equivocal voice on the silver question, declaring in savor of the policy of waintaining gold and silver at a pavity, the treasury notes paid for silver to bo kept at par with gold. *“The voice of New York.” says this plank of the platform, *‘is emphatic against any degradation of the currenc and demands, with President Harrison, that *every dollar issued by the govern- ment, whether paper or coin, shull be as good as overy other dollar,’” It is all through a manly aud nest dec- laration of principles which the republicans of New York have made, and it ought to huve, with eandidates who can be depended upon to fulfil every promise it contains, a strong influence favorable to the party making it. Pho republicans of New York are har- monious, while in the ranks of the dem- 3 is factional conflict and dis- sction. With thorough organization the republican party of the Empire state ought to win a splendid victory in No- vember. s not seléction rusted. success. can OrATORS in the independent ranks must be greatly in demand, otherwise Isaac Hascall would not be trotted out to harangue an independent convention in Omaha and Paul Vandervoort would be permitted to enjoy the quiet of his enst front poreh out in- Hunscom Pluce instend ot prancing about the state making speeches. A pavty which can applaud these two old tune barnacles, ward bummers and corporation roust- abouts and opens its arms to welcomo renegades of their ili is a good party to vetire from public business and keep in the back yard of political impotency.

Tie BER has nothing but the kindest regards for the venerahlo chief justice personally and it cheorfully agrees that he has had a career in the ‘army, in congress and on tho bench in which he may take just pride. This paper knows however that Judgs Cobb cannot be re-electod to the supreme bench this yoear for reasons already given at length in these columns, Tt also believes that tho radlroad support which the judge counts upon is now be- ng brought into lino to encompass his defeat in the convention in favor of a younger man from one of the central judicial districts who is thought to be a fair compromise between the railroad and the anti-monopoly wings of the con- vention, and whose election might bo used as o loyer for lifting Judge Max- well from the bench in twoyears. Judge Cobb will be sacrificed either at the convention or at the polls. Ho is act- very unwisely in permitting his name to be used as a candidite for the nomination. Let him retire gracefully and not wait for the convention or the people to kick him out of the way. votes ing HENRY T, OXNARD, the sugar manu- cturer who built the establishments at 1 Island and Norfolk that his company will build no manufac tories in Nebraska until the state bounty is restored.
