PEAKT about telegraph nows ser- vice naturally reminds readers of THE Beg that no other Omaha newspaper contained the intelligence that the American hog had been admitted to I'rance. OFFICIAL information from DBrazil fatly contradicts the newspapoer reports of a danger of the subversion of tho re- public. Every true American hopes the republic of Brazil will be spared the rovolutions which have torn so many of the Spuanish-American republics as- sunder. SI0UX CITY has a bribery scandal in connection with a oontract made by the city council. Sioux City has the sym- pathy of Omaha. We hops for the suke of her people, however, that the investi- gation will not drag so long a way to- ward eternity as the councilmanic in- vestigation in Omaha. For an ordinary brute with a great many faults the American hog appears to be getting to the front in the world of commerce with considerable skill. He has inserted his snout into France and it is only a question of time when he will root out the 25-franc duty and go in and out at his poreine pleasure. IN VIEW of recent discussions in theo- logical circlos, there is somothing de- cidedly odd in the announcement that Prof. Briggs succeeded in securing the adoption by tho New York presbytery of two radical amendments to the West- minster confession of faith. It will make some of tha Calvinistic fathers writhe in the grave. NiaiLisTs who escape Siberian exilo and find freedom and free speech in America should respect their privileges anough not to contribute to the ranks of anarchists in our free country. Never- tholess the most bitter haters of law in anarchistic circles are the men from Polish Russia and other provinces of the czar who have felt tho opprossions of absolutiswm. Tur Women’s Christinn Temperance union goes on declaving for reforms in Boston with genuine feminine enthus- iasm. The liquor traflice, the cigarette habit, the uso of narcotics, Sabbath breaking and a score of other evils have beon resolved out of existence, but the good women drew the line very sharply ‘when one lady farinadvance of feminine public sentiment proposed to sweep off the hats of the women of the world the birds and parts of birds which have been used as ornaments for these many months. They refused to adont the sen- timent and referred the resolution to a pigeon hole committee. The depart- meont of mercy was held to be a triflo ahead of the times. Thebirds are not yet extinot IT wAs not without a persistent and hard struggle that the fight for a recog- nition of the American hog by Fraace was won, but perhaps for that reason the recognition will be wore enduring, and at any rato it is none the less gravifying. The opposition was vigorousand earnest, but as the voting showed it was largely in the minority, The real contest was not upon the question of removing the prohibition, becauso that was practically determined some time azo, but upon the proposition to reduce the duty onsalted meats, The removal of prohibition without reducing the duty would not have resulted very much to our ad- vantage, but us it s we may reasonably expect a considerable market for our pork products in France. Thus has been guined another valuable advantage for American producers through the efforts of practical statesman- ship. What other administration in our history did so much for the pro- motion of the commercial prosperity of the country as has been done by the present administration? For the recog- nition that the American hog has re- ceived in France, a great deal of credit is due to our minister, Mr. Whitelaw Reid. His championship of our porcine uct was able and zealous, and the value of his service in this mauter merits pordial acknowledgment. THE OMAHA DAILY RANGE STOCK AND THIS MARKET. At present the stock ranges tributary to this market are found in western Nebrasks, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Tdaho, eastern Oregon ana Washington, swwadn and Utah. The ranges of tha southwestorn part of Kansas sand thair stock chiefly to Kinsas City and that market cuts {nto Colorado to a certain extent. In howaver, the tarri- tory nnmed Is nearer to Omaha than b other great market and what drifts us in Kainsus is probably stock from the Black Hills these ranges, accord- census returns, there are grazing 1817787 head of cattle, besides p. horses and psses, which also contribute largely to the importancs of this market. In thess fig farm stock is not considered, h it forms no inconsider el ment in the aggregate of husiness trans- acted, With all this magaificant aw from, our packers com- plain of & wantof bsves. Thoy nead 150,000 more each yoar than ranges and farms can supply. Thesheep market is lik short of the demand, lnrgely bocauss the herds grown mor for' wool than mutton. The immenso area neluded in oue tributary region isa growiuz ons and doubtless onch yonr will larger numboes of cattleoffored for market. But aroe not renching the best cattle ranges. We ought to control Montana and New Mexico and have an even chance with competitors in westorn the Pan Handle and Indian Territory. In Texas and Indian Territc thore are 653 cattle, In Montana and the of the Dakotas there are New Mexico the number is almost eq to the agg gate on the ranges which have classified as proporly tributary to this market. Arizo which might see Omaha if railway facilities were favor- able, has 630,758 range cattle. Grant- ing that only the western part of Texas and Indian Territory can bs brought into relations with the Omaha stock market and allowing but 1,000,000 fox that section there ave ranges which ought to be penetrated, now practically shut out of Omaha, upon which there are grazing at this time 5,500,000 cattle, If tigures will convinee anybody of tho importance of reaching out for Montana on tho northwest and the Pan Handle and New Mex to the southwost with railway connections these fizures ought to be a nightmare to Omaha business men until such time ns railroids have opaned up those ranges to the Omahastock market and have made her second only to Chi- cago. aneral, awny from made up by section. On ing to the she ros hle tributary region tod W 80 we western part 779,552 In we OPEN FOK DISCU Mr. Fred W. G very pertinently calls attention to the wretched passen- ger depot facilities of Omaha and the deplorable hitch between the Union depot company and the ity of Omaha as regards the completion of the proposed union depot. The ecent ovder to cover the unfinished walls of the new station for the winter indicates clearly enough that the company does not intend to do anything further until spring, and if the sewson con- tinues as it has sel out nothing could be done with the buiiding even if the company was disposed to completo it. The question that presents itself is, what does the company ask of the cigy before it will complete the pas- senger station now under construction, for after all the building appears to be only an ordinary railway station such as may be found in hundreds of American towns: and what does the city demand of the company as a condition precedent to the surrender of the depot bonds and the quit claim deeds to the depot grounds, On these points full and free discus- sion is in orderand THe Bee will hold its columns open for all parties inter- ested. While there is no urgency for immediate action a discussion may hasten the final settlement and give Omaha o commodions and respectable union depot after patiently submitting to the most aggravating and damaging ombargo upon travel for twoenty yours. CORN IN EUROPE, Some definite information ought to be forthcoming as to the rvesult of the ef- forts to introduce corn in Germany as food for the pesple. Tho spocial agent of tho Agricultural department was sant 10 Borlin some moaths ago to present this matter to the attontion of the Ger- man government, and he has had the earnest co-operation of the American minister in carrying out his instructions. It would seem that by this time it ought to be possible to arrive at a safe conclusion as to the chances of attaining the object sought, and if so it is desir- able that the country be informed re- garding the outlook. If the prospect is favorable the effect will be to stimulate efforts to make the people of Europebet- ter acquainted with the merits of corn, and perhaps there will never be a more auspicious time for doing this than the present. If the promise is not favor- able it will then become a question whether it is worth while to expend any considerable sum of money, cither by the national government or the corn states, to demonstrate the value of that ceroal as food for man, The furmers in the states constituting the corn belt ave taking a deep interest in the offorts making by the Agricul- tural department to introduce corn to the tables of Europeans, and their influ- eunce will be exerted for legislation to enable the departmont to extend its efforts, should there ap- pear to be a prospect of compensative success It is announced that a bill will be introduced in congress early in the session making ample ap- propristion and provisions for the gen- oral work of introducing our corn in Europe, and 1t is to be presumed thero would be no serious opposition to such legislation. It is proper work for the government to do, and there is small probability that i3 will ever be per- formed unless taken hold of by the government. Suggestions of a union of the states of the corn belt to prosecute this work have received little consideration, and there are obvious difficulties in the way of such an arrangement that could not easily be overcome. As & government entorprise, also, it would bo given character that would render it far more effective than if carried on by a few of the states, It is already assured that Burope will take n mach larger amount of our this than fn any yen the statistics of broad grains to shipply wheatand rye. A rocently made to the T ment by the American consul reneral at Vienna, Earope will need to import, in order to meat the demands of its people, 435,000,000 bushels of wheat and 257,000, 000 bnshels of a total of nearly 700,000,000 This amount can- not be obtainel from the surplus of the United States and othor coun- tries whose production {s 1n excess of the home consumption, and it is plain that before another harvest Europe will be compelled to buy largely of our corn or go without bread. The conditions are there most favorable for intro- ducing corn to Buropean tables, and it is manifestly the part of wisdom to 1ake tho fullest advantage of them. SILVER IN CONGRE! It is reported that thoss demoeratic representatives who desive to keep the silver question out of next year's presi- dential cam proposing a com- bination for that purposa. Their plan, it is stated, is to organize the house of representatives on an anti-silver basis and secare the appointment of a committeo on coinage that will prevent silver legislation. This move- ment is being pushed by the eastern democrats, who will, it pocted, got the assistance of domocratic rapresenta- tives from the middle and western states. These democrats believe that their party could make no more serious mis- take than to commit itself to the polic of the free and unlimited coinage of sil- ver, and in this view thoy are unques- tionably correct, but will they be able to convineo their free coinage colleaguos @ the wisdom of their position. very large majority of the democratic presentatives olected last yenr wero od by the platforms to the support coil They ave as fully com- mitted to this policy as they are to tariff reform in the direction of free trade. With possibly a fow exceptions they be- lieve it to bo the correct policy and thereforo a proper one for the party to espouse and staad by, Will the mon stultify themselves and put aside their individual political by disregarding the will of constituents to gratify a small mi- nority coming chiefly from states which ave naturally republican? Tt is hardly rensonable to suppose that they will. Believing firmly, as nearly all of them do. that the country ought to have free and unlimited coinage of silver, and hav ing their pledge to constituents to re- deem, it is hardly likely that they will make the proposed concessions to a combination embracing not move than one-third of their number, According to u canvas made by the projectors of the proposed combination the number of anti-free coinage democrats in the house will not exceed eighty-one, the total representation of that parvy and its alli- ance allies being 213, thus ing a majority of democrats in favor ~of free coinage of 162 There are eighty-nine republicans in the pr ent house, and probably seventy-five of these can be depeaded upon to vote against free coin the sound money democrats would still be a minority. Besides, the republicans are vory likely to leave this question to be settled by the democrats without interference on their part, and thoere is no valid renson why they should not do so. Very little is, therefore, to be ex- pected from the proposed combination. A southern man will be elected speaker, and all southern democrats are in favor of free and unlimited coinage. The speaker will undoubtediy ba pledged to malke up his coinage committes with a view to favor that policy. The chances are lurgely in favor ot the pas- sage of a free coinage bill by the house, and it is not improbable that such a mensure would get through tho senate. The security of the country against suck legislation is in the veto power of the president. en yenr provious It the Euaropean deficit in correct, it will bo im- demand with to o report musury depart- o possible the ording rye, bushels. vign ave go. ai 8- AS TO THI 100 VERSIONS, ‘We do not want to bandy words with Judge Doane or anybody else concerning his recent interpretation of the Slocumb law as regards publication of notices by applicants for license. An appeal will be taken to the supreme court and that tribunal will settle the matter. Suffico it to sny that Judge Doane as an attor- ney gave his well matured written opinion in 1881, within a few mouths after the act was passed by the legislature to the effect that in Douglas county the publication must bo made in the daily paper having the largest circulation six days a weelk dur- ing two consecutive weeks to make the notice valid. This written opinion was placed before the license board, which at that time consisted of Mayor James I, Boyd, City Clerk Jewett and the president of the council. The only reuson why this matter was not pressed to a decision by the courts was because there was a manifest disposition to disregnrd every provision of the luw and the validity of the whole act was being tested in the courts. 2 BEE has no disposition to eriti- cise Judge Doane for reversing his former opinion, but it does not propose to allow its motives to be impugned by a hypocritical imposter who 1 been pluying a confidence game upon appli- cants for license us he has upon the ad- vertising public generally by perju affidavits gotten up to bolster a fict tioas circulation. JUDGE DOANE’S aecision that legal advertisements must be published in English newspapers instead of those printed in foreign languages is good sonse as well as good law. There is too much effortat concealment in many legal notices by advertisement now and if mortgage foreclosures, divorce applicis tions, ete., are to be announeed in Swed- ish, Danish, German, Bohemian and Polish newspapers at the will of the at- torney or the plaintiff, the pluin int of the law is violated and the interests a Yot detondimee #iil be jeopardized. | and chief fagfor BEE, WEDNE It pirties dodttd® to give greater publicity to advertisgipbnts by mserting them in gn nowspapors it is proper that they should pulfli#h them in both English and foreign langupges RUDINI, the gentleman who was con- spicuous a wHile ago as premier of Italy for the Malfin, but who has lately been more or less lost in the obliviot of gall, may become promi- nent again in fhiscountry.
