It wouLD seem to be the manifest ‘purpose of our democratic exchanges in speaking of the Homestead troubles to allow truth to remain in its uncomforta- ble position at the bottom of the well. S1oux CIry’s city council and busi- ness men have at last convinced the mayor that that city’s business prosper- ity must vot be jeopardized by useless and futile fanaticism.

CONGRESS was ready to do a long de- layed act of justice Friday to the desti- tute settlers on the Des Moines river in Jowa, but a Tennessee democrat ob- jectsd and the bill had to go over. This is only characteristic of the bourbons of the south, but that bill may be passed vet. THE editorial and the news editors of the W.-H. ought to ‘‘get together.’ The news page tells us of **a distinct im- provement in trade and in prospects for trade all over the country,” while the editorinl page talks lugubriously of *Our Trade Outlook Not Favorable.” Which shall the people believe? e THE frivolous objection to Justice Shiras is muade by the New York Erening Post that he has never held a judicial office.

AN BASTERN soclety journal gravely informs us of the tremendously important news that “*Secretary Whitney has been driving out at Newport in a new green and red couch with ladies uttired in blue aod whito lawns.” This is a great re- liet to people who thought that the noble Whitney was driviag in a blue and white. coach with ladies in green and red lawns, .

THE SHOOTING OF FRICK. The labor trouble at Homestead has been characterized by another tragic occurrence which every friend of law and ordar will profoundly deplore. The attempted asenssination of H. C. Frick, the manager of the Carnegie company, adds & chapter to the history of the already unfortunate conflict between that company and its employes which will command a deoper interest than any that has gone before. This most untoward event should be considered by all persons with the great- st possible freedom from passion and the spirit of resentment. Those who may be presumed to naturally sympa- thize with the policy of the Carnegie company should not be too ready to Iny the responsibility for the murderous deed of Berkman apon the men who have a controversy with the company. There is no evidence in the facts at hand at this weitivg that the would be assassin had any connection whatever with the striking mill men. It appears that he had been at Homestead but a few days and that he was the employe of a sewing machino company in New York. It also appears that he had fre- quently been in the office of Mr. Frick, where he was admitted without ques- tion. A fair inforence from these facts is that Berkman had conceived the fa- natical idea, engendered, porhups, by a familinrity with nihilism, that he had a mission as an avenger, and believing that the Curnegie company was likely to be successful in the contest with its men proceeded to execute his self-appointed errand. On the other hand, it will be most un- wise for those interested in or in sym- pathy with the cause of organized labor to approvoe of or attempt to Justify this crime. Tho policy and the duty of or ganized labor everywhere, aot only at Homestead but in all parts ot thecoun- try. is to unqualifiedly condemn the at- temuted assassination. The working- men of the country could make no graver mistake than to manifest any sympathy with such a deed as that of Berkmun, and we do not hesitate to predict that they wi'l treat it asit should be treated by law-respecting American citizens, who do not desire to see introduced into this country Russian methods of vengeance. At this writing the facts at hand re- garding this deplorable affair are menger. An accurate judgment can be formed only when they ave all known, and then will be time enough to con- sider what lessons the tragic occurence conveys. IMPROVING THE CRIMINAL CLASS. The Chautauqua idea has been intro- duced in the penitentiary at Lincoln with results that are extremely gratify- ing to all who feel an interest in the moral and intellectual improvement of the criminal class, The prime object of penal institutions is the punishment and restaint of criminals to the end that society may be protected, but it is clear that .any measure by which convicts may be reformed and their number di- minished will result in more permanent penefits to soclety than can possibly come from forcible restraint. This is the view taken by those who are respon- sible for the successful effort that has been made to establish a Chautauqua course in the state institution at Lincoln. It appears that oversixty of the inmates of the penitentiary have recently com- pleted a year’s course of systematic reading and study and that they have thereby acquired not only useful knowl- edge but new views of life that will be certain to influence their future conduct. 1t is said that one man who was recently released from the penitentiary upon the expiration of his term has already in- duced sixween of his former boon com- panions to join him in a Chautauqua course of study. The friends of this movement say that Governor Boyd has promised to recommend in his next mes- sage the establishment of a school in the penitentinry, and although it is antici- pated that this will meet with opposi- tion it is believed that the legislature can be induced to favor it. Measures for the reformation of in- mates of penal institutions have often been tried with varying degrees of suc- cess, Many people believe that they are entirely useless and that it is a sheer waste of philanthropic endeavor to try to eradicate the eriminal tendencies of a convict. But facts speak for themselves, and if the Chautauqua iden hus done all that is claimed for it in the penitentiary at Lincoln it is evident that society is a gainer. The influence of books is powerful. Education is a deadly foe to crime, as a general rule, notwithstand- ing that some men of learning are the most dangerous rascals, The Chautau- qua plan has many elements of ad- vantage over any other for enlisting the interest and enthusiasm of prison in- mates, and it is by no means unroasona- ble to suppose that at least a small per- centage of those who embrace the edu- cational opportunities offered them will go out into the world again with im- proved tastes and good purposes. The intellectual improvement of the criminal classes will naturally go hand in hand with their moral improvement, and the logical result will be the improvement of society at large. FOREST PROTECTION. The present congress ought to do something for the better protection of the forests in the public domain., This important matter has been too long neg- locted, or given inadequute attention, to the very serious loss of the govern- ment and the people, The senate com- mittee on agriculture aud forestry has reported a bill which hus boen very carefully drawn, intended to provide the necessary protection, uhd in order the better to accomplish this it proposes co-oporation botween the federal and state governments. There has not been u sessiou of congress in n quarter of u century, or perhaps for a lon ger. period, at which this subject has not been pre- sented in the reports of the secretary of the interior and in bills, but, while there has been o great deal of legisla- tion relating to forest proservation, none of it bas fully met the requirements The bill reported to the senate is by far the most practienl and comprehens slve meusure ever presented to congress, and it would be well if it could be acted upon at the present session of congress, 80 that ite provisions might go into effect as soon as possible. It is vre- sumed that everybody who has any in- telligent ideas on the subject concedes the importance of protecting the forests against the rapid destructive agencies that now assail them., Unless this is done it cannot be many years before the forests in the public domuin ave wiped out, and as those in private control are rapidly disappearing the country is in danger of being denuded of timber with- in haif a century. This is certainly an alarming prospect from every point of view, and one that aught to lead con- gress not to longer dally with the mat- ter, but past experience does not encour- age the hope that it will be so. The average politician who gets into con- gress seens utterally incapable of tak- ing any interest in a practical question of such general and far-reaching con- corn, however zealous he may be in en- deavoring to secure an appropriation for a crock or unnavigable river in his dis- triot. It is to be hoped the senate com- mittee on agriculture and forestry will urgo this measure and if it be possible secure action upon it at the prosent ses- sion. There is no good renson why this should not be done, since the subject does not requive extended discussion. NEBRASKA AS AN INDUSTRIAL CENTAR The industrial growth of Nebraska within the lust ten years has been note- worthy, livery year has besn marked by progress and the industrial possibilis ties of the stato haive attracted wider attention. Until within a few Nebraska was thought of only as 0 rricultural state, but an in- vestigation of its munufacturing condi- tions has demonstrated that in some re- spects these are unsurpassed. The ex- position of Nebraska manufactures in Omaha last month gave evidence of a development in this direevion which few of our own people had before any idea of and wh served to create a widely different view of the industrial capabilities of Nebraska than had pre- viously been entertnined. A recent contribution to a Chicago journal regarding the industrial ud- vantages of Nebraska makes o compre- hensive statement of what has been accomplished and what is possible of attainmentin manufacturing enterprises in this state. The writer points out that canning factories have here the finest vegetables at the lowest cost, and that the same is rapiély becoming true of fruits. According to this authority, who has evidently given most careful investigation to the situation, cream- eries, cheese factories, pickle factories, starch factories, distilleries, sonp works and a number of othey lines which em- ploy crude raw materinis found in abundance right hero in Lheir neigh- borhoods, actually pay enough less for their working stock to make a good profit on the active capital invested when compared with less favorably lo- caved concerns in what huve hitherto been the manufacturing centers of the country. In the case of flouring and cereal mills a more conspicuous example of prospevity has been shown, and it may be incidentally rvemarked that flour making has becorie one of the most important and successful industries of the state. The conversion of the minor grains into various forms of breadstuffs is being rapidly developed, and with marked success. Prepared oats and barley are being regularly shipped dizect to foreign countries from Nebraska mills without the intervention of any middle men or brokers. The manu- facture of beet sugar has become an im- portant industry which, with proper encouragement, will in a few years be a great resource of wealth to the state. But the industria! progress of Na- braska does not depend wholly upon the raw materials produced in the state. Wood, iron and other raw materials are brought into Nebraska at a moderate cost, and they can be worked up here almost as cheaply as at the most favored points. It is a fact not gener- ally understood that fuel for manufac- turing purposes is cheap in Nobraska, the prices of coul ranging from $1 25 to $1.75 per ton. It is important to con- sider, also, that a great market for manufactured products is right at the doors of the Nebraska manufacture A territory embracing 4,000,000 inhabi tants is tributary to the manufacturers of this state and it is steadily growing. Such facts ara certainly reassuring, and they ought to be especially so to the people of Omaha, since in the industrial development of the state this city should have the largest share, The indications are most favorable to splendid crops in Nebraska this year. If this be realized the state ought to have a rapid growth in the next few years. The outlook for the contiguous territory is noless favor- able. Such a condition of affairs ought to be potent in 1nviting investments in industrial enterprises. — HOMICIDE IN THE UMITED STATES, There ave few questions of greater public interest than that which relates to homicide, and the bulletin upon this subject issued by the consus bureau is therefore of real value. It appears that of the 82,329 prisoners in the United States June 1, 1890, the number eharged with homicide was 7,886, Of this num- ber, omitting 85 who were charged with double crimes, 6,958 were men and 303 were women. As to color, 4 white and 2,739 were negroes, nese, 1 Japunese and 92 Indinns. Of the 4.425 whites 8,157 were born in this country, 1,213 were foreign-born, and the birthplace of 55 is unknown. More than one-hulf of the foreign-born whites are unbaturalized and less than one- fifth can speak the English language, The occupations of 6,546 of tihese prisoners prior to their inearceration are glven as follows: Professional, 102; ofticial, 38; agrioultural, 1,803; lumber 205 mining, 212; fisheries, 19; trade and commerce, 173; transportation, 880; manufactories and mechanicul in- dustries, 1,086; personal service, 600; unskilled labor, 2,253, und miscellaneous, 21. The pumber unemployed at the time of their arvest was 5,630; employed, 225; unknown, 467. The nuwmber of total abstainers was 1,282, occasional or moderute avinkors, 8,820; drunkards, 1,207, As to physical condition, 6,140 were in good health, 600 ili, 233 insane, 24 blind, 14 deaf and dumb, 18 idiots and 263 erippled. Ofscshose charged with homicide more “YHan one-eighth are awaiting trinl. {Msthose con.icted 158 aro awaniting eswéation, 2,406 are sen- tenced to imprisonment for life, 815 for 20 years and ovel) 1,488 for from 10 to 19 years and 1,305 fovaless than 10 y The sentences prdilBunced upon nag are more severe \{pn those pronounced upon whites, and, the severity of sen tences generallyincreases from east to west and from morth to south. Tho soverest sentonces vare pronounced upon Chinamen. ik The number of chses classed as mur- der is 5,548, and in nearly one-hall of these cases the iife sentence was given. The number of cases classed as man- slaughter is,1,704, and in more than half of these the sentence was over ten years, In the census previous to this there were reported 4,608 prisoners charged with homicide. Thz {increase is 69.53 per cent, while the increase in the total population is only 24,86 per cent, The explanation of this lies in the fact that a majority of the homicide cases reported in 1880 ave included in the present re- port, owing to the long terms for which the persons convicted are imprisoned. Tho executions reported by shoriffs for 1880 were 156, of which 94 were in the south Atlantic and south central ai- visions, and in these divisions also oe- curred 91 of the 117 lynchings roported. There is nothing in this report to show an increase in the crime of homi- cide in the United States, but the basis upon which the figures are compiled seems to be defuctiveand unsatisfactory. The number of convictions during the last ten years would be interesting and valuable for purposes of comparison, but wo have only the numbsr of persons in confinement under sentence for homi- cide. But the reader will be able to make some comparisons and deductions from the figuves given. One of the most intoresting facts revealed by the eport is that 94 of the 117 lynchings occurred in the southern states. When the ratio of lynchings to population is considered, it will be seen that the south has a monopoly in this line, BRINGING CANADA TO TERMS. The bill to enforce reciprocal com- mercial arrangements between the United States and Canada has passed both houses of congress, and inasmuch as this legislation was recommended by the president there can he no doubt re- garding the executive approval. The meusure providés that when the presi- dent is satisfied ‘that the passage through any canal or lock connected with the navigation .of the St. Law- rence river, the great lakes or the waterways conneeting the same, of any vessel of the United States, or of car- goes or passengets in transit to any port to the United States, is prohibited or made difficult or byydensome by the im- position of tolls arcotherwise which he shall deem to borreciprocally unjust or unrensonable, he'sliall have the power to suspend the, right of free passage through the St. Mary’s Falls canal, so far as it relatés to the subjects of the government discriifihafing against the United States. a In effect this bill will meet an imme- diate necessity, and iti§ plainly intended for immediate enforcement. The con- ditions described now exist and have existed fora long time, and it is pro- posed by the president and by congress that they shall cease to exist or else the Canadians must pay a penalty. All efforts to induce the Canadian govern- ment to live up to the pledges which it made in the treaty of 1871 have failed. The discrimination complained of still continues, and it is plainly the Canadian policy to continue it as long us the United States will staud it. American vessels bound to American ports are compelled to pay tolls greatly in excess of those charged'to Canadian vessels passing through the Welland ship canal. The object of this is to promote the grain trade of Montreal, and other Canadian interests, at the expense of American interests, President Har- rison has called attention to this subject in two messages to congress lately, and now the whole country is beginning to take an interest in it. The action of congress was prompt and the president will undoubtedly give his immediate aporoval to the measure. As Tur Bee showed in a recent article on this subject the question is venlly of less importance from a prac- tical point of view than by veason of the important principle involved. The Canadian government is deliberately violating treaty obligations which it assumed in consideration of valuable privileges conceded by this government, The United States has kept its pledges in letter and spirit’ and now that it is found useless to appeal to Canadiun honor it is proposed that other means shall be tried. Other bills more stringent in their terms are pending and if the one passed proves ineffectual they will no doubt bocome laws. Onaof these proposes the cutt off of the valuable privileges now enjoyed by the, Canadians of ship- ping goods through the United States in bond without 'fhe payment of duty and imposing dfscriminating duties against Buropoan.and Chinese imports entering the Unitéll States via Canada. Whether the eaforcement of the retaliation act will bo looked upon as an abrogation of tb treaty or not is yet to be seen, Howaver undesirable such a result might bey it is evident that this country cannot affgrd to sacrifice its right and its dignity to the extent of quietly nubmithlng‘ to flagranu treaty violations by Cajgida. All thet the United Statos nskeis fair play. 1f troaty obligations are of ‘no force in Canada there is no reason for a longer con- tinuance on our part of the favors granted in consideration of those obliga- tions, m— THE HOUSE AND THE NAVY, Although the present house of repre- sontatives has made a very decided de- parture from the liberal policy of the preceding two congressos regavding the navy, the country is to be congratulated upon the reversal of its unwise decision against the naval review appropriation and the new battleship. It would huve been a very grave mistake, for which the nation would have suffered humiliation in the opinion of the world, to have be one of the fantures of next year’s cole- bration of the discovery of America: All the nations having anavy have been asked to join us in this nautical pageant, as a specinlly appropriate cere- mony in honor of the great voyage of Columbus, and most of them have signi- fied their intention to do so. To aban- don this for the pultry consideration of saving $50,000 would subject the country to the ridicule and contempt of every other nation, and might have a dam- aging etfect upon the World's fair so far ns the contributions and the interest of other countries are concerned. Such a demonstration cannot be made without costing some money, but the expense will be small in proportion to the mag- nificence of the affair and tho moral in- fluence it will exert, The appropriates ness of the proposed display is unques- tionable, and besides it will enable us to give the world an object lesson as to our naval strength that may have great value. 1u is hardly less a matter of congratu- lation that the house receded from its first position of hostility toan approprin- tion for a battleship. That body, disre: garding wholly the recommondations of the secretary of the navy, had voted to contribute only one new vessel to the navy, which was to be a cruiser of the best type. The senate voted for n num- ber of new vessels, according to the suggestions of the Navy department, but inthe final conference of the two houses a compromise was reached which insures the construction of one battieship, which it is eontemplated chall be one of the most formiduble war vessels afloat and is specially intended for harbor defense. The credit of having secured these con- cessions from an unwilling house, anxious to make political capital at any sacrifice of the publicinterests, is ulmost wholly due to the firm stand taken by the senate in opposition to the policy of practically abandoning the construction of anavy, A naval review next year is now assured unon a scale which will be creditable to the nation, and the govern- ment will not haltin the now popular work of building up a navy adequate for protection and defense. —_— APPROVAL from political opponents ig always of some value. T The New York ssays: “President Harrison’s ju- al appointments have been, on the whole, so good in the past that the selection of Mr. George Shiras of Penn- sylvania for the place on the bench of the supreme court made vacant by the death of Mr. Justice Bradley will be generally accepted as one that is likely to justify itsell.” The Sun says that “'it is an appointment worthy of praise,” and other democratic journals of influ- ence are of the same opinion. The president seldom makes a mistake, and that is why people put their trust in him. He is a safe man and the country at present cares more for safe and pru- dent administration than for anything else. TowaA is to have an economical, accu- rate and practical geological survey.

Trafiic to the park by the lako has been granted to a steamboat syndi- cate, which has the exclusive right to land at the fair ground. hival boatmen carry passengers to a dock near the park fence, and passengers are compelled to walk half a mile to veach the fair grounds gate. It is difticult for strangers to determine the syndi- cate boats from tho others, as they are prac- tically alike and start from the same point on the lake front. Another floecing arrange- meut is the rule prohibiting private car- riages in the grounds. If you desire a con- veyance in tho grounds you ara obliged to hire cne from the syndicate which has been given the oxclusive privilege. The Nebraska building has perhaps the best place of any state building on the fair grounds, as it fronts south on KFifty seventh stroet, while a magnificent boulevard borders it on tho east and a lavep lake on the west. It covers 6,000 square feot and has 12,000 square feot of floor space. Its dimensions are 60x100 feet, two stories high. The style of architecture is strictly classical, of the Corinthian order. The east and waest fronts bave wide porticos and there are large, wide scps on all sides, which cover one-third of the length of the puilding. Each portico is supported by six massive columns, which run the full length of both floors and to the underside of the cornice. Over each portico. and resting on tho columns. is a large gable on a line with the main cornice.
