A Poor fellow tried to sieep in a third-story window of an Omaha hotel last night. He hasn’t done anything since. SENATOR CAMERON’S attack on Justice Bhiras may be charitably attributed to the joint clfect of green apples and the dog days. INGALLS is in Europe loading himself for the campaign. And when he feturns his discharge will knock a great hole in the democracy’s camp. It 18 perfectly proper to say ‘‘Ne- braska politi are.” There are more brands of politics in this state than can be contained in any singular number. THE queen and Salishury are trying to down Gdadstone and the liberals in a royal game of freeze-out. But they eannot do it, for the G. O. M. holds all the trumps. THE stability of the Omaha Athletic club was never more’ apparent than it is today. It is an organization embodying the best principles of manly svorts and it deserves success. THE New York Swn’s favorite argu- ment every day is “Cleveland and the democratic party ave desd wrong, but Btevenson is O. K. Down with the force bill and negro domination.” JAMES W. HYATT, ex-treasurer of the United States, told a great fish story the other day and was immediately pro- posed as a democratic candidate for gov- ernor of Connecticut. The nomination was perfectly logical under the circum- stances, It wouLD be interesting to know Holman’s constituents, 1f they were not the most narrow-minded, stingy, mean, selfish, ignorant, opinionated and ais- ngreeable people living they wouid not rontinually reelect such a nuisance and tiresome growler as Holman. THE best place on earth just now is home;not a fashionable summer resort where starch and misery reign, but your own cottage where there is cool- ness and pleasure produced by the nbandonment of superfluous elothes and the liverty of doing as you please. THE movement to increase the numbér of students at West Point is wise. This great institution is probably doing bet- tor work now than ever before and in- dependent of its military features the education is one of the best and more young men ought to receive its benefits. AL GEORGE A, SHERIDAN, the eloquent tarifl orator, has spent the past year in Europe and is filled full of striking facts and figures. He makes the assertion that one English farmer out of thirig-eight is a paup: How does that sound to the comfortable farmer of this country? Mns. I &1 and Mrs, Diggs, the two women wurriors of the people’s party of Kansas, huvo been fighing receutly, but declare that they have now buried the hatchet. It is not learned what the cause of the quarrel was, but it probably Arose from Mr. Lease's chickens gotting over into My, Diggs’ yard, B quiet, but those who com- plain of this should remember that in midsummer trado is always nad every- where quict, 50 that the expe:ience of Omaha is not exceptional. If the re- ports of the commercial agencies are to bo accepted us trustworthy, this city is doing a fair shure of trado for this sea- son of the year. The delay in public fmprovements has unfavorably affected the business of retail merchants, but there is now fuvorable promise that im- provements will be pushed forward, so that retuilers are warranted in looking for a more wetive trade in the near future. There is nothing discouraging In the condition of Omuha’s business at prosent, and the outlook is eatirely Iavorable. “ereased BLOW FOR BLOW. The attitude of a portion of the Canadian press in ralation to the de- mand of the United States for a fulfill- ment of treaty oblizations on the part of | the Dominion government is essentially unwise and impolitic. If intended as a bluff it will certainly fail of its purpose. A charitable view of it is that it is due to A narrow apprehension of the situa- tion. The suggostion that it is the duty of the Dominion government to return blow for blow is ridiculous. In what re- spect could that government retaliate upon the United States with results that would compensate for the loss of the valuuble privileges that are accorded to the Canadian people? Is it not obvi- ously absurd to assume that Canada, which under present conditions is not able to retain its population, and for years has made little material progress, could carry on a war of rotaliation againet this country without great damage to every interest? In the ten years from 1881 tos 1801 Canada spent $3,000,000 to secure about 000,000 immigrants, yet in that period her population increased less than half a million. She did not keep all the immigrants sho paid for and she did not retain the natural increase of popula- tion. Her own people camo to the Uniied States by tens of thousands and arestill coming. Any attempt on her part to inaugurate u policy of retahation against the United States would increuse the movement and the next two years would witness o larger emigration from the Dominion to this country than has ‘uken pluce in the last ten. Of course, his could not happen without a damag- ing effect upon all the industrial and materinl interests of the Dominion. The resources of government revenus being thus reduced, the debt, which in- $100,000,000 in the last ten years, would grow still more rapidly. In short, a commercial conflict between the Dominion and the United Stuates would inevitably result disastrously to all Canadian interests, and while at the same time it might prove somewhat troublesome and inconveniont to a por- tion of our own peoplo it could not possibly have any such damaging effect upon this country as upon Canadu, The blow for blow which some of the more hot-headed Canadian papors coun- sel would fall with hardly perceptible effect upon the American people, and then only upon asmall part of them, while it would be felt with great sever- ity by every Canadian interestand by the whole people of the Dominion. Wo do not believe that the sober judgment of the Canadians will approve entering into such a conflict. They may be reluctant to concede the justice of the American demands, but they will ulti- mately be compelled to do $o rather than enter into a contest the effects of which would certainly be greatly to thew disadvantage. A WHOLESOME REBUKE. Mr. Powderly has written a letter to the Journal of the Knights of Labor which shows how little sympathy the work- ingmen, if he fairly represents their views, have with the efforts that are being made by the democratic press to create a sentiment against the vepubli- can purty on account of the troubles at Homestead. “Partisan papers,” he » endeavoring to make political i out of the terrible scencs which took pluce at Homestead the other day. The democratic papors are vehement in their denunciation of the republican party for enacting a tariff law under which protection was afforded to manu- facture There is no love for work- ingmen in the hearts of these edito a des! rve party interests alone actuates them.” He then proceeds to show that the democrats have notat any time when the tariff wus under dis- cussion in congress taken the ground that- toe workingman should share in the profits of the employer. He never was considered at all by the opponents of protection, and not a word did they ever say in his behalf. *“The Pinker- tons,” snys Mr. Powderly, *‘existed be- fore the Mills bill was introduced in congress, and that institution continues to flourish now that the McKinley bill is in forc Whether the tariff went up or down disputes between employer and employed would continue.” Of course, this sheds no new light upon the subject, for all enlightenad and sensible veople have taken the samo view, but it is rather significant that Mr. Powderly, representing more than any other man the views and sentiments of th laboring masses, should so squarely and emphatically repudiate vhe idea that politics or administrative policy had anything to do with the dificulty at Homestead. His rebuke to the democratic demagogues ought to do some good. Tt will not be likely to diminish the number of their lies, but it may lessen the number of their listeners in the ranks of labor. OUR FOREIGN COMMERCE. It is shown by the report of the bureau of statistics for the past fiscal year that althouch the merchandise imports of the entive country were less by $17,000, 000 than for the preceding fiscal year the impo:ts at New York were within about 1,000,000 of last year’s tota', while at Philadelphia and Boston the imports slightly exceeded those of the last fiscal yoar. A slight decline is shown at the ports of Baltimore, New Orleans, San Francisco, and at some others of less importance, the imports of New Orlouns being less by about $1,000,- 000 than for the previous year, Baltimore by 7,000,000 and San Francisco by $3,000,00. At the southern ports the imports were about $8,000,000 less than in the previous year, but the imports at Now Orloans, which had in the vreced- ing fiseal your been haedly equal to those of Baltimore, exceeded those of the latter port by $5,000,000, while an increaso was shown at Galveston and some other minor ports. On the Pucific const the imports were about $3,000,000 behind those of the pre- vious yu Of the total of $827,800,000 of merchandise imports for the vear New York had $586,500,000, Boston $71,700,000, Philadelphia $60,000,000 and San Francisco $47,100,000. The exports aggregated $1,030,300,000 as compared with $884,400,000 lust year, THE OMAHA DAILY 000 ngainst 836,500,000 last year; Now Orlonns, 8181,200,000 as compired with 8109,100,000; Baltimore, $08,800,000 as compared with $64,400,000; Boston, $87,- 100,000 as compared with #77,000,0 0; Philadelphia, $58,500,000 as compared with $33,600,000; San Francisco, $40,700,- 000 as compared with $40,100,000, and Galveston, $35,300,000 as compared with 833,700,000, The total increase in ex- ports from southern ports was a little less than 40,000,000, The Pacitic coast exports show slight increnses over those of the proceding year, amounting in the aggregate to moro than §3,000,000. At three ports, New York, Philadelphia and San Fran- cisco, the imports exceeded the exports. The exports of southern ports continue to greatly exceed imports, owing chiefly to the foreign demand for American cotton and the eomparatively small de- mand in the south for Kuropean pro- ducts. The total southern exports are about three times as great as the im- ports. The figures presented show that the United States is carrying on an enor- mous foreign trade, which is increasing rapidly every year. COMPETITION IN IHE SUGAR MARKET. It is ovident that the sugar trust, like all other combinations of capitalists for tho purpose of controlling the market and keeping up the prices of commodi- ties, is destined to meet with formidable opposition that will sooner or later de- feat its plans. The ravid growth of the beet sugar interest in Nebraska and the stablishment of two large refineries in this state, which are entirely independ- ent of the trust, is one step in the direc- t'on indicated, but there are other and far more important forces av work which may prove to be powerful oppo- nents of the great sugar combine. An association of Cuban sugar planters has been formed which will establish an extensive rofining business in the United States. It is expected that large refineries will be built in Philadelphia and New York, backed by all the capi- tal that will be required to make them successful. A representative of the Cuban sugar men, who is now in this country, is quoted as saying that the new combination, although it has only one-third as mich capital as the sugar trust, will be able to make asmuch sul the latter and compete with it in the market. Thero is at present no combination of capital more powerful than the sugar trust. It remains to he seen whether the Cuban producers who propose to establish refineries in this country will sell out to the trust or not. It is highly probable that they will do 50 unless they can see the way clear to the building up of a business by which they can make more money than tho trust will pay them to get out of the way. The fact that the greater part of the capital of the Cubans will be raised in this country affords some reason for suspicion that American speculators will control the enterprise and that they will turn over the new refineries to the o01d combine as soon as they can find it profitable to do so. The only real prom- ise of relief from the monopoly 1 in the growth of the smaller refinervies, some of which have already assumed THE IRRIGATION QUESTION. The prospect of legislation at the present session of congress for the irvi- gation and reclamation of arid lands is not so favorable as could be desired. Biils for this purpose have been intro- duced iuto both houses of congress and the subject has received a great deal of discussion, but it appears to present dif- iculties which the congressional mind canaot easily cope with, to say nothing of the prejudices which stand in the way of a wise and practical solution of the problewn. A thorough and compre- hensive investigation of the question is certainly to be desired, but it would scemn that after all that has been said on every side of it there ought to be a very full and intelligent understanding of what is necessary. Yet the fact is that congress seems to be as far from com- prehending the situation and its de- mands as it has ever been. As wassaid by Senator Warren of Wyoming ina speech in the United States senate n few days ago, irrigation and reclamation of land is almost a life and death matter with the residents of the arid stat The development of the vast mining interests of the countr: depends, in a great measure, said the senator, upon the ubility of those em- ployed therein to obtain the necessities of life at reasonuble prices. Reforring to the objection to the reclamation of the arid lands that such an increase in the productive capacity of the west must result in injury to the dwellers of the older portion of the country by un- duly increasing agricultural produc- tions, Senator Warren forcefully said: **This is the same spirit which has sought to retard the progress of inven- tion and of development throughout the history of civilization.” Opposition munifested toward the spread of irriga- tion and reclamation of the arid lands is of the saume kind that originally denounced the reaper, the sewing ma- chine and other labor-saving devices when they were first introduced. Ob- jections to the reclamation of arid lands,” continued the senator, ‘‘are not only untenable from an economic standpoint, but they are not founded on justice and fair dealing.” The great fact to be borne in mind is, that there now remains of the public domain scarcoly any available land capable of producing crops without irrigation and the expenditure of large sums of money before any return can be received from the land. The settlor upon the public domain today 1s obliged to comply with the same laws and regulations asthe homesteader who, & few years ago, entered land worth ten to fifty times as much per acre. A family, said Senator Waurren, cannot support themselves now and prove up upona homestead until some provision for water and irrigation is made. *There is no equity in this. The government owes it to the youngest sons of the nation that they be given some of the benefits necorded to their fathers,” The fact boing adwitted that the pub- lic lands outside of the arid domain are New York's share of this was $413,000,- | pructically oxhuusted, the question us BEE; i\ WEDNESDAY to what shall be dene with the vast area that can be refléred availablo for set- tloment by irrigaion presses for anawer. Ono of two waps must bo adopted. ither the glycknmont must provide for the reclamation of the arid lands or they will have torbe cedud to the states to bo reclaimed fides conditions which will insure thatrpsult. There are very few ndvocates of the first of these plans, the general vl&f being that the true policy is to code the lands to the states and require thérr to institute and carry out a thorough &ystem of irrigation, the government aining such control of the sources of whitar supply as to pre- vent conflicts botween states or the monopolizing of the water supply by private corporations. A practical solu- tion of this question is cortainly possi- ble, and it would seem that it could be as well reached at this session of con- gress as at some future time. ——n A GAIN FOR THE PACKING INTEREST. Tt is good news not only to those di- rectly interested in the packing inter- ests at South Omaha, but to this whole community, that the differential rate herotofore enforced by the Santa Fo Railrond company on packing , house vroducts has been abolished, and that the local packers ave thereby placed on an equal footing with Kansas City in respect to rates tosouthern points. The South Omaha packers have done a large southern business in competition with Kansas City, but their profits have been reduced by high freight charges. They will now do more business and at better margins of profit. ‘The cut on live stock rates from In- dinn Torritory,which was inaugurated a few woeks ago by tha Rock Island, by which the cost of transporting souvhern cattle to this market was reduced from $20 to 812,50 por car, was a distinet gain for South Omaha. The Santa the Missour: Pacific followed the exam- ple of the Rock Island, as was expected, and now the South Omaha vackers are beginning to realize substantial benefits from the reduction. These improve- ments in railroad vates will decidedly stimulate the packing business, which was steadily and rapidly growing even undoer the disadvantages imposed hy high rates of transportation AN ARTICLE in the HEngineering Monthly by G. 1. Curtis of the Smith- sonian Institution entitled ‘*Facts About Ruainmaking™ is a very thorough ex- plosion of the theory of General Dryen- forth and others who claim to be able to make rain to order. The writer says: “*Examined in detai th all the cir- cumstances both of the operators and of the weather recorded, it is evident that the experiments have utterly failed to demonstrate thut explosions can develop a storm or produce a measurable rain.” But another uppropriation has been made for the government experiments under Dryenforth’s supervision and the work will be continued. The real busi- ness, however, is being dona by the pri- vate rainmakers, the *‘profossors”’ who are making contracts with western farmers at so many thousand dollars per shower. These men are wise in their generation, They know that in the nature of things it is bound to rain sooner or later in any given locality. Leaving cause and effget out of consid- eration entirely, they are sure to win in the game of chance which they are playing. When they fail they lose nothing; when they succeed—that is, when they happen to be operating where the rain falls—they win the amount stipulated. Itis a great busi- ness > COMPTROLLER O is credited with the suggestion that whatever amount may be left in the city hall fund be used in purchasing oil portraits of city offizials. The idea is to hang these portraits in the council chamber. Without considering the merits of this proposition, THE BEE recommends that the matter be turned to the wall until it is fully shown that any portion of the city hall fund will be left unused when the building is completed. Such a happy outcome would of course be extra- ordinary and might call for hilarious sbration. OMANA will give hospitable enter- tairment to the Shriners and Knights Templar who will visit the ecity next month, That is now practically assured. All the funds necessary for this purpose have not yet been secured, but no doubt is entertained that a sufficient sum will be subscrived. The proper cntertain- ment of the Masonic visitors is dictated by considerations both of duty and inter- est. They are people who know how to appreciate hospitality and whose good opinion is worth having.

After he had seon his mortgage reloase proporly recorded Mr. Burrows went out to see delegates, and when he saw them he began to talk “‘har- mony.” Harmony was the essential thing to secure success for the independents 1n the coming campaign, Thers was only one brand of harmony that would do, and that was the anti-Van Wyck kind, Mr. Bur- rows tried to make this plain to the dele- ates, but some of them were too mulish to sult the havmonizer. It is belteved that Mr. Burrows’ endeavor to kill two birds with one stoneon the trip proved an 1gnominious failure, ‘The nomination of Dr. Koiper for congress by the Third district democrats is smd to have caused a good deal of bitter feeling among the bourbons in different parts of the district. Keipor is too much of a free silver man and anti-monopohst to suit the Dodge county crowd. He has been in the legisla- ture for three torms and has always returned the railroad passes sent him. As a conse- quence ho is referred to as a ‘'crank” by a portion of his own party associates. The doctor is a polished gentleman aud has tray eled extensively in this country and in Eu- rove, but hoe will stay at homo when the next congress assembles and will not visit Washiugton to see Congressman Meiklejohn take his seat. Peter Youngoss, jr., of Genoa spent yester- day in Omsha, and it 15 quietly hinted that he has set the pins for securing the Douglas county delegation to favor his candidacy for state treasurer. Mr. Youngers has a brother 1n Omaba who is helpiag the boom along. ““There is & prevailing and growing opln- fon tha the republican nominee for governor will hail from Omaha, that is if the repub- licans of that city can agree upon a candi- date who can command the confidence of the party,” says the Kearney Hub, “The pre- ponderance of sentiment in Omaha appar- ently runs to Crounse. Ho will have a strong 1ead for tho nomination, and the fact that, he hails from Omaba will not count agsinsv him —not this year. There is no anti-Omuha sentiment now.” The Kearney Hub is printed io @ county which Tom Majors claims to own. Boatrice republicans are making extensive preparations to receive Goveraor McKinley August 2. The railrosds will make reduced rates and it is expected that a great gather- ®, & ! i/ Largest Manuf, 1ng of people wiil assemble to hear the em: nent advocate of rrotection, Mr. R, E. Doran, editor of the Valparaiso Visitor, said yosterday that politicians were becomine quite active down at his neck of the woods. Mr. Doran has long been a re- publican and gives it as bis opinion that Tom Majors will not be able to muster much strongth in the convention and would never bo clectod if nominated. Mr. Doran says that tho tempsr of the farmers in his locality has undergone some change tho past yedr and that there aro not a few of them who have become a little bit tired of the inde- pendont party, or rather of some of the would-be independent loaders. He says that If the republicans are oareful to put up & £00d strong republican who possesses the confidence of the farmors, that ho will be elected. Mr. Doran thioks that Powers would prove to be a stronger man with the indepondents than Van Wyck this fall, A Bloody Duel, n Fire a Figh Crrrpe, Colo., July 2.—Yosterday at Batchelor City, Mike Donnelly and W.
