CONGRESSMAN TARSNEY is coming home to the Kansas City Missouri river convention. This will probably give the convention a political turn. THE republican party cannot hope to regain supromacy in Nebraska until it purges itself of jobbers and public plun- derers. These men care nothing for party excepting us it affords them a chance to loot the treasury. BARON HIRSCiI'S purchases in Argen- tine aggregate three thousand square leagues. The baron has therefore sa- cured a territory on which at least one hundred thousand Russian Jews can be colonized without over population. AT THE risk of irritating Governor Thayer Tii Bri would respectfully suggest that the governor examine into the saline land deal which has been per- petrated under his nose under the pre- tenso of leasing tho saline basin at Lin- coln for a public park. There is a very good sized Afro-American behind that wood pile. Ir 1S just o littlo premature at this timo for patriots who desire to trans- pose Nebraska from the republican to the democratic column in the presiden- tial election of 1892 to take active steps for fusion with the independents. A union of the two political parties right on the heeis of Joe Edgerton’s deficit in votes is not very promising. HON. J. D. WOODRUFF of the Sho- shone Indian commission insists that the ngreement made by his two associ- ates gives the indians the best of the bargain wherein they ave to be poid $600,000 for 1,000,000 acrves of Indian land. If this be so, it is the first time on record where the red man got the best of his white brother in a lund deal. NATOR PLUMB has introduced a free and unlimited coinage bill as a t to the alliance. But the allinnece men of Kansas will scarcely claim Senator Plumb as their own, even though thoy quote him as saying that ther 87 per capita in circulation 1n the United States. Mr. Plumb has done more by such political buncomb toward placing Kansas in the line of debatable states than all the Simpsons and Poflers, is only For soventy-seven yeurs Norway and Swoden have been under one ruler, and during that long period the kingdom has had no war except in the first two yoars of the union. The Furopean nation which exists seventy-five years without civil or foreign war ought to be re garded as safe from revolution at least. Yet in spite of the bonds of a common languge and a common government and penco and prosperity for three-quarters of a century there has been considerable friction, and a strong sentiment prevails in Norway for a dissolution of the union. ONE portion of President Harrison’s message deserves more than a passing notice and that is the recommendation that congress shall enact a law for the better protection of train ana track em- ployes of rallways. Twice before the president has requested attention to this subject, but nothing has been done. The government keops up a life saving service at large expense to prevent the fatalities of shipwreck on ouv coasts and every vessel which floats on the seas or lakes or drives its way through our navi- gable streaws is carefully inspectod and all the precautions possible are taken to make travel by water safe to crew and passengers. There is no reason why congress and the states should not give to the brakemen and other employes of railways the protection of laws which shall compel the campanies to udopt the safest appliances and their trains with the utmost regard for human life. The casualties ng trainmen are frightful and yet congress has g the subject little attention, operate amc ven THE OMAHA DAILY BEEK: THR CHILIAN RETORT. The cireular of the Chilian minister of foreign affairs, relative to the complica- tion with the Unitod States, is a spirited document. While it may not fairly be regarded ns violating the proprieties of diplomatic correspondence, there is a tempor and bluntness in its language not common to tho official communications of men in diplomatic station. It is evi dent that when writing it.tho Chilian minister was not concorning himself with the question of courtesy, and that he did not permit himself to be perploxed by the consideration whether such a circular might be regarded by the gov- ernment of the Umted States further offense. It will be remembered that the president in his message forred to a note addressed to this gov- ernment by Ministor Matta as being so offensive in tone that no response was mado to it Obviously the Chilian minister of foreign af- fairs is not afraid to speak his mind nor vory particular about the manner of doing so. The circular is realy an attack on our minister to Chili, and for this reason is very likely to bo regarded with favor in Bngland. It is notably direct and unequivocal in its char against Ministor Kgan, saying that he had furnished this government mis- information, that ho purposely com- municated to the Chilian government a note in aggressive and nt language, and that one of the reasons for suspending the summing up of the investigation into the outrage npon American sailors was “tho illegal pre tenses and denials of the s: Mr. igan,” There are other reflections upon the conduct of the American minister, and it is declarved that the instructions of impartiality and amity from tho pres- idont and secretary of the navy “have not yot been complied with,” thus involving with the ister the American naval commander in Chilian wators. The concluding paragraph of the circular may be ro- garded as somewhat deliant in tone, but there i# really a good deal of this spirit in the entire production. The attitude of tho ment, as disclosed by does not promise an early and easy sot- tloment of the controversy. It would seem that there is little probability of making progress toward a peaco- able adjustment whilo Mr. lzan remains as our representative at tho Chilian capital, and in view of the fact that our government has approved his course and thereby bound itself to sus- tain him the situation assumes a more grave and serious aspoct. [t is not quite cloar what course ought to be pur- sued, having reference at once to na- tional self respect and sound policy. It the Chilian government re- fuses to have any diplomatic in tercourse with Minister Igan, which it seems practically to have done, and we decline to recall him, there can be no negotiations, and it will remain for congress to determine, after a reason- able time has elapsed without a satisfac- tory response from Chili to our roquests, whether the United States shall appenl to force. Of course Minister Ilgan could readily solve this difficulty by resigning but it is hardly probable that he will do’ this. It is thus appavent thav the civeu- lar of the Chilian minister foreign affairs is a very interesting document both for its statements and the possi- bilities it suggests. THE LOLIDAY TRIDE, us o o8 viol me Chilian govern - this document, of Omaha’s store windows aro unusually attractive this year as the holidays ap proach. The Christmas novelties are especinlly noticeable and of greate number and variety than ever befove, Window dressing has become a trade— almost an artistic profession of itself. The retail dealer who does nov know how to show his goods to advantage i not up with the times. The daily dis- play in our windows is worth sceing and enjoying, but in this joyous gift season the exhibits in the windows and inside the stores is especially gratifying to people who appreciato cheorful things, beautiful things and useful things. Omaha's growth from the village to the metropolis is marked by the devel- opment from the country store to the great rotail ostablishment. Tho httle cheap toys of the carlier days aro re- placed by the lovely noveltics and use- fularticles which mechanieal ingenuity, refined taste and increased wealth have brought to the great stores of tods The holiday trade has become more than ever a*season of increased activity as woll as generous good cheer. The enterprising merchant pushes his sales during this period with all the energy which his brain can bring upon his bus- iness, The holiday displays in all the retail stores are woll worth seeing. “The chil- dren and the old folks alike will enjoy a pilgrimage through the bewildering mass of pretty and useful articles. The world has been ransacked by our mer- chants for attractive and sensible pres- ents for the Christmas time. If the buyer, be he rich or poor, cannot find a suitable present for wifo, sweetheart, child, friend or relative in the Omana stores, he is either a crank who does not know when to be pleased or he is one of thoso unhappy beings that never ave but always to be blessed INDIAN COMMISSIONS. The eastern philanthropists and so- called friends of the red man have somehow learned to regard the western people as remorseloss enomies of the In- dian, from whom the savhge can hope for neither sympathy, help nor honest treatment. ‘The Interior department, which ought always to be in close touch with the west, but which is generally a8 far from that condition of mind a8 the east is from the west, 18 likewise permeated with this notion. Consequently, when com- missions are created to treat with In- dians for lands, or for any other purpose, the commissioners are men who have no conception of Indian character, their wants, their deserts or of tho re they sustain to adjacent munities. During the commissioners nogotiate agre ations white com- last have been yoar twonty-soven appointed to porform other the lands of nents or service in connection with tribes in Wushington, California, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, North Da- kota and New Moxico. Of these nine commissions, composed of three men each, only one contained a majority from tho state in which the Indian lands in question are located, and on but one other was the state most interested allowed representation. On the soven romaining commissions men for the most part entirely unfamiliar with the duties to be performed made up the commissions, On one which went to Puget Sound the commissionors from the District of Columbia, Kentucky and Indiana. On one of the California commissions, Pennsylvani District of Columbip and North Cavolina were drawn upon, though the questions to ba detormined were of vital interost to the people of California as well as the Indians he breezy interview published by Tie Bk with Hon, J. D. Woodruft of Wyoming, chairman of the Shoshone commission, who served with a commis- sioner from Washington, D. C,, and an- other from Ohio, will doubtless call the attention of the country to the fact that western fronticrsmon are botter fitted to deal with the Indian problom thin people who have never coms in contact with these wards of the nation, wero RESULTS ALREADY ACHIEVED, The exhibit made in our Sunday issuo of the practical results of the wtion in fayor of home industry is instructive ying. The first fruits of begun and carried on by ThHe Be s the organization of the Manufacturers and Consum associa- tion, which now has a membership of more than 100 industrial rns, who give steady employment to over 5,000 Wwige-wor . This has become an educational force. They have demonstrated their ability to supply the home demand for many articles of local manufacture that have formerly been imported. In several branches of industry the home market has doubled and trebled within the last three months, causing a very la in- in the number of skilled wa; workers, This is notibly true as re- gards such commodities as soap, sicups, vinegar, baking powder and flour, whi the consumption of home made luxuric like cigars has rovived the cigar mal ing indust The agitation in favor of howe industry is also responsible for the enlargement of concerns that manu- facture articles of men’s wear. But this is by no means the only bene- ficial result achieved by the concerted effort to stimulate the patronage of home industry. The agitation has not only infused vitality into mills and fac- tories alveady on a firm footing, but it has revived confidence in Omuha, and cnused the starting of ssveral very im- portant new industries that now give employment to a considerable number of artizans and promise, if assuved of lib- eral local patronage, to enlarge their plants. Although quite a revolution has been wrought already in our domestic trade by the new departure there is still much to be done in stimulating the consumption of home made proaucts. Our dealers, both wholesale and retail, are as yet not fully awakened to the fact that Omaha’s commercial supremacy can best be promoted by fostering every industry that can get a foothold in this city. They are still importing millions of dollars’ worth of morchandise every year that can be made as good and bought as cheap in our own mills and factories. These dealers should make it a point to give the home manufacturer the proference, all things being equal, and even if they wers to do so at some disndvantage, there is no doub: that the increased demand for- home productions would soon level down prices and enable our manufucturers to com- pete successfully with those of other localities. The consumers, or rather our people generally, have it within their power to compel the dealers to handle home made articles by refusing to purchase those of foreign production. This does not mean’a boycott, but a per- sistent preference for articles that bear the Omaha brand and represent the skill of our workmen and enterprise of our manufacture TO RESTRICT IMMIGRATION, Senator Chandler of New Hamp- shire, chairman of the senate committee on immigration, has introduced a bill the effect of which would be, if it should become a law, to practically put a stop to immigration, It will be remembered that some months ago Senator Chandler submitted a number of questions regard- ing methods for rvestricting immi- gration and fnvited an expression of public opinion on them. It has been understood that he received a large amount of correspondence, but if its value may falrly bo judged by the character of the measure he has intro- duced it has uot been greatly in- structive. The bill provides for consular exam- ination, According to the telegraph synopsis,it requires all aliens who desire to emigrate to the United States to make application to United States con- sul declaring thelr purpose, and that thoy are not excluded from admission into this country. The consuls must exam- refully the evidence submitted and otherwise assure themselves that the in- tending emigrants are entitled to the privileges of Amevican citizenship. The applications must be in triplicate and must be sworn to, and an applicant may include in his declaration any members of his family intending to emigrate with him. Each consul must retain one of the applications and give the other two to the applicant, in he is passed. On arriving in this country, the applicant must deliver these papers to the inspection officers. If ho be ad- mitted, the fact and date of admission must be stamped on the documents, the inspection officers retaining one. Be- fore granting him these officers must assure themselves that the applicant is entitled to admitted alse statements by either applicants or consils are made punishablo by fine not exceeding $500 and by imprisonment not exceeding six months. agi the agitatio vs con associntion ro case admission, be The first suggestion of this measure i3 | thav it provides'for a vast amount of “red tapa” which, whether so intended te to keep out of the country a great wany persons not in- or not, would ope I'UISDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1801, cluded in the undesirable classes dofined by existing laws, while it could not be 4 upon to exclude absolutely dey all porsons the objectionable classes. Tho Mbxpense and dels that would att¥nd the consular ex- aminations requirdd, assuming that the duty would be faithfully performed, and tho additional inspection by officers at our ports, would deter thousands of worthy people from seeking homes in the United States, but it is by no means certain that ittyvould be effective in overy caso in ke8ping out those who can afford to taks @l sorts of chances in ovder to chango §iair habitat. Another obvious fault of the plan is that the indi- vidual examinations would doubtloss bo in many casos porfunctory, with tho dangor that in time curelessness and indifference on the part of consuls and inspection officers would bacome 80 com- mon as to render the plan worthless. The late international emigration con- gress approved the idea of consular examinations, and Senator Chandler is not alone among those who have given this subject thoughtful study in beliov- ing in the yalue of that plan, but thero is other intelligont opinion that is not favorable to it. holding that there can be no effective restriction of immigra- tion except by the exclusion of classes and general descriptions, and vhat a plan of individual examinations must necessarily prove a failure, because in most cases it will not be honestly and thoroughly made. OMAIA and Douglas county need nothing much worse than a rock pile whero city and county vagrants, toughs and *‘winter guests” can be made to ox- orcise their muscies. Many tramps commit petty offenses for the express purposo of securing free board and lodg- ing at the public ¢ They muke a large polico force necessavy. They add materiully to the jail expenses. They invoive the city and county in an outlay reaching muny thousands of dol- lars, They should be forced to work out their board bills. A woell advertised rock pile upon which prisoners are compelled to toil cight or ten hours a day would do o great dexl toward ridding the community of the presence of this very undesivable class. pense, LXAMINATIONS for promotions should not be abolished in the Omaha or in any other schools, neither should they be mudo the sole test of qualifications for promotion. It is not safe to trust to the varying whims of teachers to determine who shall be advanced to higher grades. Some arbitrary standard is essential to harmony among the pupils. It is also a luable incentive to those who are careless and would take thewr chances on the good will of their teachers if the examination did notstand between them and advancement, #The Board of Edu- ration will be introducing a erawfish re- form if the exarhination is abandoned. Tie County Agricultural society and the Driving Park association together should be a good nucleus around which to construct o~ pormanent Exposition ation.

THE Real BEstate Owners association should enjoin the county and city trens- urer from illegally paying out over $7,500 of the people’s money to clerks and judges of election. The precedent of paying each'election officer $18 must not bo established. OMAHA is in honor bound to make good tho pledges of the Omaha Guurds whose gallant fight in Indianapolis last summer secured the national drill for this cf What is more, Omaha will keop those pledges COUNTY ATTORNEY MAHONEY’S opin- ion that the judgesand clerks of election are entitled to $18 each is in direct con- flict with that of City Attorney Popple- ton.

AT Wyoming's Cattio srobles Will All settle Themselves. “There 1s always two sides toa story,” aid Hon. J. D. Woodruft of Luuder, Wyo., “and the story of the depredations of the Wyoming cattlo vustlers is no exception to the rule. Tne Bee and soveral other papers have had interviey tly with mon who havo given out the impression that Wyoming is filled with eattle thicves, who are holdin high carnival out thereand chasing good men out of the stato. *“Ihat kind of talk is injuriog all interests in Wyoming and ought o be discouraged, especially as there is 5o little real foundation | forit. Wyoming caitlemen are having the sime trouble thut all attlemen are having in new countries. 1t's the samo old fight and law and order will triumph in the eud as they havo elsewhere. “There's cattle rustlors i Wyoming, there's no aenying that, but they are in & hopeless minovity und their work is being felt iess und less cach vear. Wyoming is a goood cattle country, but the catilemon must have botter protection and are gradually got- ting it. Still they aro to blame themselves for most of the woes ander which thoy are complaining. They have been arbitrary and have mado 1t 5o ancomfortablo for sottlers and small cattle owners that the hands of all of thesc men aro against thew. The cattle- mon have a state association, you know, and when one of them aischargos a cowboy no other cattleman is allowed to hire him, and this rule bas created a band of rustlers outof these blacklisted cowboys, men who know no otaer business and have no other way of making a living. “Then, too, the cattlemen invite piracy by the loose manner in which they take care of their stock. Thoy hiro a lot of men for about two or three months in the spring and sum- mer for round un work aud then dischargo them and let the cattle care for themselvos for the rest of tho year. Tho cowvoys have to live when not employed and with an odu- cated brauding iron make a common proy of tho calves and mavericks iu the berds of their whilom employers. ““That story that went the rounds rocently connecting the killne of Hendersou with tho Iynching of Averilland Cattle Kate was merest fiction. The two tragedies had no connec- tion whatever. The lynching of Averill and Kato was as cold blooded a murdor as was ever committed. 1 knew Avoill well person- ally, and know that ho nover shipped any cattlo to South Omaba or any place elsa, *It is almost impossiblo now for rustlors to find a markev. If rustler eattle ave shippod either to South Omaha or Chicago the brand inspoctor simply orders the money received for the cattlo turned into the fund of the cattle- men’s association and the rustler is out. The catllemen are beginning 1o see the error of their ways, too, and are adopting & more liberal policy with the settlors aud smaller cattle owners, and the time is rapidly ap- proaching when the occupation of the cattle rustler will be gone. My only object in denying theso storios is to protect the interests and good name of the state which bas been my home for thirty vears. The talk of rustlers opening cattie- men’s mail is, I think, without foundation, Our mail facilities are simply abomtnablo, und could not be made worse even by tho in- terference of rustlers, 1 have known lottors 10 bo on tho way from Luudor to Lono Cubin, adistanco of seventy milos, for over six weeks, But these things will all work thom- selves out.
