The reiative importanee of the vast region embraced in the southwest- orn, northwestern and Pacific groups. in the extent of its transportation line and in the rapid development of all its inferosts which are affected by and de- nendent upon the railroads, gives to its claim to be represented on the commis- sion the greatest possible force, and it would be a mistake and an injustico not to recognize it.

The case upon which the decision was made was that of an Austrian detained by the acting commissioner of immigra tion and ordered to be returned to his native country on the ground that he was likely to become a public charge. The mun was a cabinet maker by trade, possessed baggage to the value of a small amount, and had never been, according to his own testimony, either a crim- inul or pauper. His affirmation was not, however, satisinctory to the acting com- mission Habeas corpus proceedings wore instituted in the federal court and the man released, the court holding that there was not sufticient evidence to show that the man was likely to become a public charge, and that the refu: of an inspecting officer to accopt the testi mony of an immigrant cannot justify tho detention and enforced roturn of such immigrant. The court also held that if had intended to authorize the commissioner of immi- gration ants simply on the ground of disbe in their state- ments it would have explicitly The manifestly founded on common sense, but none the less is it desirable that the language of the law shall be made entirely clearand relieved ol all ambiguity, otherwise an tunity is offered for working serious in- justice, ns would bave happened in the cuse of the immigrant veleased by tho federal court but for this judicial inter- vention, The evidence, however, is that danger of trouble from the classes excluded b, law is steadily diminishing.

The republican judicial conven- tion is called to meet in Omaha on the 5thult. The county convention is an- nounced for the 12th. The preliminary campaign is on. The *pins” are being we suppose, by the various candi- nd when the primaries are held it is likely the interest will be fast ap- proaching white heat. The republicans have a duty to form this fall which must not be ne; cd Thatduty is toredeem Douglas county and the city of Omaha from demoeratic This can be done only by judi- cious nominations and hard, systemat work. No man should be given a place on the judicial, county, or city ticket whose eaveer will handicap the party at the outset, able men can be elected, but if such nominated the republicans will sweep the county and the city, The local tickets will help the state ticket and greatly stimulate republicanism all over Nebraska and the west. The eyes of the state are turned anxiously to Omaha and republicans here must stand by Dr. Mercer and help him to organize victory all along the line from the head of the state ticket to the less important local offices. Good true cannot be nomi- nated upon any ticket unless men of like character participate in the nominating conventions. Men of standing and abil- ity will not be elected as delegates to those conventions unless the business men, artisans and good citizens gene ally participate in the caucuses and pr maries. Let every man in Omaha, and espectally every republican, make it hi duty this vear to heip in the work of olecting respectable, honest and com- petent men to office. THE FURNITURE CONTRACT. The city council has brought upon itself the condemnation of citizens and an unsuvory scandal by its action in agreeing to award the contract for fu niture in the city hall toan outside firm. The majority in the face of an over- whelming public sentiment after being fairly warned of the danger of its action and contrary to the advice of the city attorney arbitrarily ordered a contract entered into with the Ketcham [Furni- wre compiny of Ohio to furnish the city hall. This was done too when that body had before 1t a proposal from a w local firm to perform the work in first style according to approved plans price at which the same work was to be doue by the former firm. The people of Omaha are just now very much in earnest upon the subject of patronizing home industry. They have been educated by THeE Bree and common sense to the conclusion that it is very bad policy to starve out home manufacturers and send the money to which they are jistly entitled to east- ern houses. In other words they pro- pose to apply the great principle of re- ciprocity to home affairs and to ex chango with each other the articles which are produced in Omaha, sending away only for sach as ave not to be ob- tained from feilow citizens. They are s0 much in earnest about this as to resent the arbitravy conduct of a council which has scandalized itsel f and the community in awarding a con- tract without the funds to meet it contrary to the spirit if not the let ter of the city chavter. Thoy propose more. The Central Labor union has passed a rosolution agreeing that in case the council con- tinues to discriminate against Omahn industry in this instance and refuses to reconsider its hasty action in awarding the furniture contract, the influence of the union will be thrown against the proposition for bonds with which to complete the city hall. The majority of the council is entitled to no sympathy for the dilemma in which y have deliberatoly placed themselves. They had fair warning from Tug Bee. They ave now con- fronted with the serious possibility of the dofeat of the bond proposition and long delays in the completion of the very much needed city hall. There is only one way out of the difficulty, and that is to abrogate the ill-advised and illegal agreement, reject all bids and await the bond election before awarding the contract, giving the home house the preference at that time, all ogher things being then as now equal, INDIAN ALLOTME] Thurston county, Nebraska, was cted out of the Omaha and Winne- ) [ndian veservations, A vory large t of the county is still Indian tribal land and undivided. Another part is held by Indians in severalty under the Dawes allotment act. The remaining portion is owned by whites who have purchased the sume from the govern- mont. The teibal land is not taxed of course. The allovment land cannot be taxed or alienated for twenty-five years from the date of the allotment. At the expiration of twenty-five years the titla rests in feo simpie with the allottee or his heirs. It cannot be encumtered, bargained awany or be otherwise disposed of. It nnot even be leased by the al- lotteo, In fact the allottee has simply right of oceupuncy, with full title at the expiration of the period. aising funds for con- ducting the county government, main- taining schools, building and bridges, and erecting county and school buildings, has bacome one of great im- county, I there is no state tickets inde- pendents b trict and county will shortly put per- misrule, Only clean, representati men and guarantee of The question of roads portanco in Thurston tically speaking source of revenue to the county excent from the real estate owned by the whites and the personalty of whites and Indians, Under the allotment act all the Indians havin thoy. property. 100, ar The become citizens, upon personnl THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, county officals, fowevor, in secking to | vonost to-a ¥ meet the situatioff iMve ordered houses, other fixtures on the allotted listed for taxation as personal being made by the Indians to the Department of the Inter- sretary Noblachus taken the pos: tion that under the allotment act these are not subject to taxation. He has re- quested the Department of Justice to in- terfore on behalf of the Indians, and it is entively tain the ruling of the secretary of the interior, This action of Sectetary Noble brings into immediate prominence one of the difficulties incident to the allotment act, In view of the improvidence of Indians and their utter lacl: of business experience, the limitations under which they take their lands in severalty must not be removed. To grant each a tractof 1and, however large or small, in feo sim- ple, would make them merely the victims of the white man's shrewdness and cupid- ity. To author them to lease their wds to white men for any term with sion would be almost as certain to result in loss to the Indians, for it isan a pted pro that the white man has never taken his foot off of Indian land when once permittod to make a lodge- ment, In Nebraska there are four reserva- tions in which lands in severalty have been taken by the Indians. They ai the Omaha and Winnebago reservations in Thurston. the Santee-Sioux reser tion in Knox and the Ponca reservation in the new county of Boyd. The question of schools, n governmental ox- penses and local improvements, becom one of intense local interest to the citi- zens of these counties In South Dakota and other states where allotments have been made it is also a subject to which the people are giving serious considera- tion. There is no relief for this state of affairs except in congressional action. It is due to the states which are embar- rassed by the presence of Indian citizens upon allotted lands that congress shall vote funds to meet the taxes which would against such lands if the title stood in fee simple instead of re- maining inalienable and untaxable for twenty-five years. The Indian Rights association will probably lay before congress a law pro- viding for the emergency. Itisof so much importance to Indians and whit alike in counties and states where allot- ment is breaking ‘up reservations and tribes and individualizing Indians, and is so fair as well as necessary, that it is hardly probable congress will fail to take appropriate action. The proposed law is simple in all its terms. It pro- vides that the Indianallottee’sland shall be assessed precisely as if it belonged to a whito citizen. The government instead of the Indian will pay the tax to the state or countytreasurer and the Indian will be entitled to exactly the same benefits from the revenue so de- rived in schools, roads and administra- tion as if he were a full fledged taxpay- ing white or black citizen instead of half ward and half citizen of the United States. The sbuses which may grow out of the enactment of the proposed law must be guarded against, but its prineipal features are correct in theory and can be satisfactorily applied. barns and lands property. Appea probable the courts will sus- vor! be assessed AvrrnouGi Judge A. M. Post has never in any sense been associated with the corporation bosses locally or in the state at large, the opposition press will attempt to lie him into an alliance with them. Theconcern at the foot of the hill has set the lie afloat notwithstanding the procecdings of the late convention prove as conclusively as anything can be proved that Judge Amasa Cobb was tho choice of tho railroads and of the best known old time machine politicians. Judge Post is not now and never was a railroad politician, nor a politician at all in the offensive sense of the term. He has been a lawyer and a jurist and he is now the able, clean-handed un- trammeled and incorruptible candidate of the republican party for the high office of associate justice of the supreme court. His opponent is a chronic offic seekvr who is unfitted by education, perience and ability for any judic position.

The mills, work- shops and factories are crowded with workmen and everywhere are tho idences of prosperity. The uncuiti- vated farms simply show that in cuses their owners drifted to the west and that there was no one who cared to succeed them, Some<dime in the future, possibly not more than a generation hence, these Massachusetts farms will be wanted, and then those who take them will know how to make them profitably productive. There will come atime when there will be no waste land in this country upon which anything can gatherod by situation most be grown. A rECENT dispatch from Pittsburg announces that it is an assured fact that America will no longer need to import tin plate or light weight sheets, The report named a number of establish- ments where preparations have been made for producing the sheets from which cans, cups and household utensils of tin are made. The fact that roofing tin is being largely produced in the United States is no ques- tioned, but the people who have pro- claimed that the effort to establish the tin industry here would prove a failure have kept up the taunt that no bright tin was being made and that none could be made. That will have to stop now and the opponents of the policy for cre- ating this new industry will bo com- pelled to acknowledge their discom- fiture. [n this there will bo simply a repotition of what has happened with respect to other industries that have been established under republican policy. longer INDIANS on alloted lands ace citizens but not taxpayers. They have the right of oceupancy to their lands but are pro- hibited from alienating their real os- tate. They may facm but they cannot mortgago their property. Their white neighbors on adjoining lands must pay the taxes for schools, internal improve- ments and government.
