FarMERS may not care very much who invented the idea of reciprocity, but they do appreciate its restlts in the increased demand for American farm products. NEBRASKA’S advertising train is at home again. It captured overy eastorn village and city attacked. The people of the heart of the union capitulated without firing a gun. Prruars if the State Board of Trans- portation controlled the appointment of chief grain inspector it would not under- take to starve him out whether he was competent or incompetent. A BLOCK of Omaha bonds were sold yesterday at $102.81 and accrued inter- ost. This item will bo of interest in Minneapolis and Denver, where the bond market is reported very dull. DouGLAS county comes to the front with five times the majority for Judge Post that was given him by Lancaster. When Douglas county will, she will, you may depend on it, and if she won’t, she won’t, and that’s the end on it. JOnN . REDMOND ought to be satis- fied that Cork is done with the Parnetl wake and ready for business again, Ho is beaten by a plurality of 1,512 votes over the McCarthyite for the seat in parliament made vacant by the death of Parnell JUDGE FRANK IRVINE of the district bench is found oy a canvass of the ve- turns to have out-run both Judges Estolle and Wukeley by a few votes and is elected. He is the youngest man on the bench, but none of his associates are more popular or move promising as jurists. I7 1S not yet too late to remark that Dr. Georgo L. Miller, chairman of the Board of Park Commissioners is more enthusiastic over Omaha since the olac- tion than ever before. Ho foresees a o grand park systom as the outgrowth of his faithful advocacy for the improve- monts. HOLD-0VER members of the city coun- ¢il will be wise if they take note of the Qisastorsof the late election and give due credit to the furniture investigation for 1ts influence in the premises. It will go hard with some people in the future if that furniture deal is consummated. OMAnA will make n winning fight in Washington on the 234 inst for the re- publican national convention. If any of her competitors imagine for a moment that they can elbow Omaha to one sido because she iy situated on the west bank of the Missouri river thoy will discover their orror when tho votes are tallied.

Action shoula be commenced forthwith on the bond. The compuny should be taught that it cannot juggle with public interests with impunity. DOUGLAS COUNTY has once more most effectively proved that her vote has woight in state elections. As goes Douglas county so goos Nebraska will become as common a proverb in state nffairs as the old time remark of the Keystone state in nationnl elections Yot Douglas county was refused her proper proportionate representation in the Nebraska legislature by that ex- travagantly indepondent body. ONE of the most significant evidences of a genuine new south is furnished in the roport of the president of the Au- gust exposition in a letter to President Harrison, which containg the gratify- Ing information that the cotton mills of the south last year used 6(0,000 bales of the 2,400,000 hales consumbed by the Uaited States, and contributed 2,000,000 tons of the 9,000,000 tous of iron pro- duced, Nothing is so promising for Dixie and the future as her rewmarkable Jotustrial dovelopmont. 10 WE NEED BASTERN CAPITAL? Financfal and economic fallacies are of almost ondloess vaviety, The more ignor- ant men are of sound and practical prin- ciples of finance and business the more dogmatic are they in proclaiming their false theories. An example of this was supplied by one of the speakers at the Omaha last Mon- had evidently of financa and from Bellamy labor meeting in day night who imbibed his ideas political economy and Travellick. Ho declured that “‘we want no more eastern capital in Nebraska; that we don't want to borrow money from the millionaires of New York and Boston.” And this person claims tobe a representative working- man It is not easy to understand how any man of ordinary intelligonce, and par- ticularly one professing to be concerned for the welfaro of the laboring classes, can seriously and advocato n theory of this kind. The preposterous absurdity of to buil up & new country without the aid of out. side capital is so obvious that the man who cannot see it is hopelessly blind and stupid. What would Omaha amount to if no eastern capital had boen invested here? What wouid any western city amount to if it had rejected such capital? When the best portion of Chicago was destroyed by five in 1871 it was eastern capital chiefly that rebuilt that city. It was the millionnires of New York and Boston and other eastern cities, and the savings institutions and trust companies of tho east, that camoe forward with their money and replaced what had swept away, making Chicago greater and more prosperous than before. It was from these sources that St. Paul, Minneapolis and Kansas City found the means of development. How is it with Omaha? The great bus- iness huildings of this city were con- structed almost Wholly with outsido capital, und it was from castern eaptalists and financial institutions that was obtained the money to build waterwork: construct street railways and erect ele trie lighting plants. The bonds by which we were enabled to pay for the puving of streets, the building of sow- ers and carrying out other public im- provements, were purchased by oastern capital and could not have been sold clsewhere, at any rate on terms as favor- able to the city. The great packing in- dustry of South Omaha is largely backed by capital owned in the east. In short, here as elsewhere throughout the west, every important enterprise and public improvement requiring the ex- penditure of lavge sums of money, has been compolied to go to the financis conters of the east to obtain the needed eapital. Nebraska, in common with the entire west, must continue for years to come to depend largely upon eastern capital for development. The woney s not here and will not bhe until our resources ave fully developed and the accumulation of capitai is in excess of the immediate demands. Be- fore we can be independent of the mil- lionaires of New York and Boston we’ must earn the money, and in order to do that industries must be established, enterprises set on foot, and greater op- portunities afforded for the em- ployment of labor. Omaha ought to add largely to her manufuc- turing industries during the next fow years, and there is reason to expect she will do so, but loeal capital can play but a small part in developing the city in thisdirection. TIrrigation of the avia portions of Nebraska and of other west- ern states and territories cannot bo accomplished without outside camital and a great deal of it. The develop- ment of the tin mines of the Black Hills and the vast min- eral resources of the west cannot be effected without drawing capital not only from the east, but from foreign lands. Thus 1tis that the west, includ- ing Nebraska, wants and must have eastern capital, and it is of the highest importance to this state that distrust be removed from the minds of the capital- ists of the eastand confidence in the in- tegrity of our people restored. Twenty yours ago money commanded 12 per cent Omahn. Now it can Be had gooé property at 6 to. T cent, including com mission. o time may not be vory ro- mote when a lower rate will prevail. But in any ovent it is supremo folly to rail against eastern capital and expoect to develop the res s of Nebr: and build up Omaha without drawing upon tho accumulated wealth of the older and gnove fully devoloped sections of the count WHAT DOES THIS MEA] We bo leave to call the attention of Cath- olics throughout tho state to the position of Tuk Oxsia Bee w this crusade against the Catholic church, and draw thoir own conclu: ston.—Wistern Recorder. aceopt expocting heen in on per Areall to infer that the Catholics of Nebraska have any rational grounds for finding fault with the course pursued by Tup Be in the cent campaign?

If so Tis Bee is willing to abide all the consequences. As a matter of fact Tur Ber has given Catholies on the democratic ticket courteous treatment, and even their most outspoken leader voluntarily wrote the following ucknowledgment on the morning of the day of election: Oxany, Nov. 8.—Hon, E.

GAsNON. NO BOGUS REFORM. As betwoon democratic boodlers and n boodlers theve is not a parti- of dif Their mothads and their enas ave all the same. Tho polit- ical eyelone that swept over Omaha and s county last Tuesday was the elimax of popular resentment against the boodlers that have plundered and pillaged our taxpayors for the last two 3 They may have been n prepon- derance of democratic buodiers knocked out, but that should not be taken as an invitation for republican boodlers to in. We say this morely a8 a pointer to the old Tammar zang that has beon trying to revive it- self under a new nume dusing the past week with the evident purpose of get- ting control of our municipal and county patronage undoer the ery of reform. If we know anything of the signs of the times, or the purposes of the new county and city officers elected lnst week, wo beliove that at least for a nable period there will be no place for Loodlers in the city hail or court house. The people have decreed that beodlers must go and positions in the public service must be filled by clean, capable men, and no man who desires to mike an honorable record will dare to violate public corfidence. There must be no bogus reform in the year 1892, PURE FOOD FOR TiE WORLD. It is stated that Secretary Rusk will probably recommend in his annual re port the establishment of an interna- tional commission to protect the people of the leading civilized countries from impure and adulterated foods. The plan had its origin at the ont agri cultural at the Hague, and was recommended to all the countries ropresented in the congress, among which the United States. The commission, while international in its scope, would in practical operation be more like a body of national commis sioners in each country, co-operating by constant correspond- I'he commission in each country would be charged with watch- ing the enforcement of the local laws, and would assist the commissioners in other countvies by informing them promptly if impure food products were received from their countries. It is well known that Secretary Rusk is nn earnest advocate of measures for protecting the purity of the food supply, and he belioves that legislation for this purpose would be of benefit in extending our foreign trade. The subject of pure food legislation was before the last con- gress, a bill having been introduced providing for federal control of food products which ave the subject of commerce between the states or with foreign countries, but no action was taken with reference to the measure beyond putting it on the programme of the senate republican caucus in the last days of the session. The subject will probably be revived at the coming session of congress. It is cel tainly a question of very great im- portance, but a proper solution is beset with numerous difliculties not easy to bo overcome. Perhaps not until the countries of Europe have adopted the plan of an international pure food commission and enacted law for such a commission to enforce, can tho United States government be induced to seriously consider the proposition. spublic cle wrence. Dougl Ars, aten congress was ence. FUTURE OF THE PACIFIC STATES. A writer in the November Forum, taking as a text the prediction of Wil- linm H. Seward that the Pacific ocean will bo the acene of man’s greatest achievements, presents some intoresting facts and conclusions to show that the Pacific states will have a great commer- cial future, He thinks that when tho dominant problem of cheap transportation shall been solved by the completion of an inter- oceanic canal the past progress of tho Pacific states will be insignificant in comparison ‘with their future advance. Awmong the possessions of that seetion of the country which will play an im- portant part in establishing our suprem- acy in the commerce of the world are the vast supply of timber of various kinds, the practically inexhaustible fish- ories of the Pacific coast, yot hardly known to commerce, e cept in a piomeer way, and the great productiveness of the soil of most of the states. For the five years from 1885 to 1880 inclusive the value of the wheat crop of the soven states and terri- tories of the Pacific coast was $211,000,- 000, or within $2,000,000 of the value of the gold and silver product. The compuratively slow development of this region the writer ascribes to the inadequacy of transportation, and he thinks the solution of the prospority of the coast lies in transpor- tation by water, the cost of which, in comparison with that of ruilway tran: portation, is as one to five. He is con- squently an earnest advocate of the Nicaragua canal, as ave the people gen- erally of the Pacific const, who regard the success of that enterprise ns ussur- ing a solution of the problem of - the growth and prosperity of the extreme western section of the republic. The coast cities must depend upon their mavitime commerce for prosperity, aud it is be- lieved vhat the canal will immensely de- volop this commerce. It will insure a at saving in the cost of shipping pro- duce, to the matevial benefit of the pro- ducers. It will open a market for the surplus products of horticulture und it will give an enormous impetus to the lumber trade of the coast. Besides this there is the Asiatic commerce to be con- sidered, which although increasing slowly now, may reasonubly bo ex- pected to develop in tho courso of time into large proportions. Even more val- uable, perhaps, will become the com- merce with Australin and New Zealand, which it is believed must play a great part in tho trade of the Pacific ocean, Those countries, inhabited by an Euglish-speaking poople with a free governwent, ure destined, it’ would seem, ment. There can be no doubt that the Pacific const is to be . grout factor in the com- mercial supremacy of the United States, The seven stutes und territories which to a wonderful develop- SUNDAY comprise the Pacific group have an area of 748,000 square miles and contain about 2,000,000 population, while the states of the Atlantic group, comprising thoss of New [Kngland with New York, New Jirsey, Delaware, Peensyl- vania and Maryland have an arven of a little less than 183,000 square miles and ontain u populssion of nearly 19,000,000, If populated proportionatelv to the At- lantic group the Pacific states have 75,000,000 people. It section of our ¢oGntry, and the peoplo of the central west have a decp interest in its progress and promise. THE NAllIONAL CONVENTION The committee appointed to proceed to Washington in the interest of Omuaha’s ambition to entertain the re- publican national convention has met with encouraging success in its effor to securo a guarantee fund. They hav also found no difliculty in obtaining from the people the necessary funds to meet the immediate expense of the trip to Washington and return, Tho people are enthusiastic for the convention when the matter is brought to their attention. It is well to remind those conserva- tive citizens who regard tho matter with indifference, but whose assistance may be needed later, that Omaha has gonertoo far now to back down. Hav- ing through the press educated the peo- ple of the country to the belief that she is anxious for the honor, and having secured by her efforts the endorsement of tho Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado ro- publicun conventions, as woll as the unanimous approval of Boards of Trade, the transmississippl congress, and other influontiai bodies, it would simply be ridi- culous for Omaha to step out of the con- tost. She has no intention whatever of abandoning her efforts or weakening in her faith. The city is at tho right spot for the location of the convention. The situation is favorable from a geograph- ical, political and comme L stand- point. She bas flem friends on the na- tional committee, She wunts the con- vention and if she does not get it, it will not be for want of trying. We can en- tertain the crowd, wo can guarantee the fund necessary and wo will welcome the assembled republicans with open handed hospitality. If any other city thinks Omaha will not figure in the fight that city will be wofully disappointed. HIGH INSURANCE RATES. The board rates for fire insurance in Omaha are too high. We pay in premi- ums every year something like $500,000. The insurance men place the figures at $420,000. They admit they are not able to state the exactamounts paid, and it is more likely they oxceed than fali under the half-million. The grand total of premiums and assessments paid in the state in 1880 was $1,755,235. For the ten years endiug with 1889 Nebraska paid $12,088,550 1n insurance premiums and the companies paid losses amount- iug to $4254,302. Tho losses for the state in 188) were $818,557. The total of insurance losses paid in Omaha in 1800 wus $218,765. Unless there b a very gécat excess of losses over premium receipts in this city as com- pared with those of the state, $500,000 is not an extravagant estimate of the amount paid in 18)0 for insurance in Omaha. The large number of insurance men devoting their entire timoe to solic- iting fire insurance could not be sup- ported on less than this volume of busi- uming that $420,000 is the amount received and that of this sum 45 per cent is required for expensos, wo find that $407,765 was requived in 1890 to carry the risks and pay agents and other expenses, which would show a net profit in Omaha of $12,235, But if £500,000 is received for premiums then the net profit is $92,235 on Omaha business. Again it must be remembered that $218,765 is the gross sum reported by tho adjusters to Chief Galligan. The salvage from goods taken by the insur- ance companies and afterward sold is another source of profit of consequence.™ state in the Amer Rates on personal property vary from 50 cents to $6 per 81,000, according to location of building, exposuve, otc. There are sowe diseriminations between business men of the city which only a trained insurance man can give a plaus- ible excuse for and we will not attempt to find fault with the ratings of individ uals. It is enough to know that recently a cut rafe of 25¢ cents per $1,000 has pre- vailed, and one institution secured $100,- (000 at this rate, though the board rate for the same firm has hitherto been $1.10. Taking the board rate as it hus been re- established and comparing it with the cost of insurance in the same line of busi- ness olsewhere, we find the following state of facts: Published rates in St. >anl, $1.00; Denver, $1.00; Indianapohs Chicago, $1.85 Milwaukee, . Kansas City, $1.25; St. Louis, .85; Cin- cionati, $1.00, Cleveland, .90. The firm in question was offered insurance in New York by New York companies at G0 cents. His rate was raised by the Omaha boivd from 85 to $1.10. The apparent board rutes in other cities as quoted by agents’here ave not largely in our favor, but the insuved firms in answor to inquiry name the following as the rates nctually paid: St Louis, 60 cents; Chicago, p3 cents; New York, 65; Denver, 85, The comparative rates on buiidings are probably fully s unfair o Omaha. The companies eharge 40 cents for do- tached frame and'80 cents for detached brick structures. «There seoms to be no reason for advinding rates on stocks of goods from 85 cents to 81,10 per thousand in face of the faet that after conceding the figures of ‘the compuanios us to amount of premiums received and losses paid, including sulvage, there is still o neat net profit. Tie Bek belioves the companies have not treated Omaha fairly. We have an efficient fire department. The figures show that thore ware seventy-th in 1885 and the losses for that year wero $108,332.41. In 1800 there were 206 calls and losses amounting to $240,275; an in- crense of 100 per ¢ the number of wlurms, with an increase of but little more than 200 per cent in the aggregato of losses. In 1883 wo had 65,000 people. In 1800 140,000, [n 1885 there larger proportion of wooden buildings it is true, but in 1800 there wore more dun- s calls over ut in five was & OVEMBER would | is o great | 1801-SIXTEE gorous goods at risk, It is clear, there- fore, that with improved fire protection | and better buildings, we should find the cost of insurance matorially reduced. | Why are the rates kept up? THE ART EXHIBIT Russell A, Alger of Dotroit has generously consented to loan Mun- kacsy's groat painting, “The Last Hours of Mozart,” to the Omaha Art assoc tion for its exnibit here for the three woeks inning November 16. Ior this great favor tho popular ex-governor of Michigan makes no charge aside from the expense of transportation, insurance and a man to puck and unpacs the mas- ter pioce. It will cost the association 500 to meet theso expenses and the en- terprise of the management of the ex- hibit in venturing upon the outlay is a proof of the confidence with which they look forward to the exhibit. Having seen Postmaster General Wana- maker's other great picture by the same artist, “Christ Before Pilate,” Omaha people will the botter appraciate tho great value of this painting for the col- lection to he exhibitod by the associa- tion, The Waestern Art association is a most worthy organization er in the noble work of educating its mem- bers and the community to a proper ap- preciation of high art. It has founded w school in Omaha which s already a success in the matter of attendance and the character of Instruction imparted. It is in need of funds, however, to place it fairly upon its feet as one of the pormanent attractions of our city. The oxhibit arranged to begin on the 16th is expected to bo suf- iciently remunerative to greatly relieve the school from the financial pressure incident to the preliminary work of building a college of art. The people of Omaha therefore owe it to a promising mstitution and a good cause to give the proposed entertainment their nearty and substantial support. There are in the mansions of some of our wealthy cilizons rave paintings tapestry and curios which, it is hoped they will have the pub- lic spirit to loan tho association. It is entirely possible to make the oxhibit memoranle in the history of Omaha and to attract national atten- tion to it if our wealthy people will aside sclishness for three or tour weeks and reveal to the public the fine works of art with which their drawing rooms are graced. The people of the middle classes have responded promptly to the requests of the association for loans of their pictures and curios, but unfortunately several of our oldest and richest citizens with collections equal to tho best anywhere, are disposed to lock the doors of theirdrawing rooms the public. It is still hoped that they will rally to the assistance of the strug- gling association and with that public spirit which characterizes Minneapolis, Chicago and other enterprising cities, cheerfully give their Omaha neighbors, less favored but none the less appreci- ative, the gracious opportunity of peep- ing into their benutiful homes through the medium of the art exhibit, General De; ged NEBRASKA'S QUARTER March 1. 1867, by proclamation of An- drew Johnson, president of the United States, Nebraska was admitted into the union. Twice the president had vetoed an act providing for her formal admis- ston. In the first instance the desire of her citizens for full membership in the sisterhood of states was thwarted by tho pocketing of the bill. In the second in- stanco a formal yveto message was tran mitted to congress nd the admi; sion wi voted, tho veto to the contrary notwithstanding. It was a short time after the passage of the act that the legislature was convened by Governor Alvin Suunders and the con- ditions of admission were assented to. Thereupon in due course tho president’s proclamation was issued and Nobraska outered upon her glorious cavcer as a an union, March 1, 1802, will marik the twenty- fifth anniversary of that important event. We have grown from a strag gling fronticr community of less thun 100,000 souls to a g eat commonwealth whose population exceeds, 1,000,000. We have in twenty-five yoars increased in- creased in wealth from an assessed valu- ation of $50,000.000 to $180,000,000, Our actual values have inereased in greater proportion, and the best estimates place the wealth of Nebraska at more than #1,500,000,000. The frontier community of 1867, with no railways except the be- nnings of the Union Pacific and Bur- lington systems, huve grown and multi- plied until today there ave over 5,000 mfles in actual operation, the assessed value of which, as returned for taxation, equals the total assessea valuation on the day of its admission. Nebraska has taken no small place in the progress of the last twenty- five years.
