BY 0PPOSING home-rulo Mr. Labou- chere conclusively proves that he would have been an off ox in the Gladstone cabinet. SaM JoNEs is in New York and Tam- many roasts are served up at his meet- ings in the highest style known to vhe cuisine art. Fripay of this week is Traveling Men's day at the Norfolk district fair and a splendid program has been pre- pared for the Knights of the Grip and their friends who visit this pretty city in the Elkhorn vall How sweet it would be to listen to Mrs, Lease just now telling us how nicely she was treated down south in 1800 and how badly she was treated in the north. Thisis the story she told here last July with such scorn of “northern intolerance.” THOSE who best understood and most thoroughly appreciated the great qualities of George William Curtis are now being pained and disgusted by the extraordinary quantity of effusive gush and slush being printed about him in papers and periodicals all over the United States. ReporTs from all of the county fairs in the stute of Nebraska are to the ef- fect that they are far better than ever bofore. This isa good omen; but it is not surprising that these county exhibi- tions should be better than ever, for the farmers, manufacturers and dealers of this state never before had so much to show. THE new edifice of the Philip’s Episcopal society at Twenty-fivst and Paul streets will be a handsome struc- ture. This eity has too few cnurches of an attractive appearance, but their number is increasing, and every new house of worship having architectural beauty will improve the city in appea ance if not otherwise. I7 1S evident that Omaha, like many other cities, is deriving a decided bene- fit from the cholera scare, The inspe tion and cleaning up that have resulted directly from fear of the scourge have revenled to all minds the fact that the city was in an unwholesomo sanitary condition, and it is likely that the effect of the present popular alarm will be ap- parent for some time to come. Would there have been any action by the authorities in regard to defective plumb- ing in one of our school buildings, by which, it is alleged, several cases of diphtherin have been caused, if there had been no cholera scars Probably not, and it is also probable that filth would have been allowed to go on acecu- mulating 1 many localities that are now being cleaned up with the utmost haste. The lesson of this enforced sani- tary investigation should not be lost upon the health authorities or upon the people at large. It is easier, loss ox- pensive and far more respectable to keep clean than to undergo periodical cleanings, and the improvement of the general public health of the city would be certain PREPARATIONS are making in & num- ber of cities for the propor celebration of Columbus day, October 21, which by act of congress has been made u na- tional holiday., It is intended that the public schools of the country shall take a couspicuous part in this national com- memoration of the discovery of Amer- ica, and it is most uppropriate that they should doso. It will be peculiarly an oducational event, contributing to popu- lar knowledge of the progress of civiliza- tion during four centuries. 1t will also teach an improessive lesson in behalf of republicen institutions and make a strong uppenl to American patriotism, For these und other remsons it is most desirable and proper that the children of the public schools of the nation shall participate in the celebration. It is presumed that the school author- ities of Omuhu contemplate allowing the children of the public schools of the city to unite with those of the country at large in colebrating the greatest event in the history of mankind, with a single exception. 1t so, it seems woll to suggest that the time for preparation is phort, and there is none to waste if the children are to be thoroughly fam- iliarized with the exercises which it is proposed to give. Certuinly Omaha shiould not be behind any other city of the country in doing honor to this oc- casion, and in order that she shall not be it is desirable thut preparation be oot unnecessarily delayed. It will be un opportunity for our schools to appear at their best and it should be fully im- proved. MORNING. | | coal for all ordinary purposes. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE THE FUFL PRORL Tho recent arbitrary advance in the price of anthracite coal has vary natur wlly stimulated inquiry as to possible substitutes. Among these has been the proposition to use coke i place of coal for domestic and manufacturing pur- poses, Careful inquiry has brought out the fact that good coke is only a little less valuable than the bust anthracite It burns frecly, makes n cloan fire and most ns long as coal. But unfortun- ately the price of coke is $8.50 per ton in Omaha, or only $2less than anthras cite, 80 the fuel problem isnot much simplified by its use under present con- ditions, West Virginia and Pennsylvania and its price is therefora relatively as high as that of coal, The point to which we have heretofore directed attention is that bituminous or coking conl is plentiful in regions lying near Omaha, and that the production of coke near home might be the means of sapplying the people with a fuel at once cheap and desirable. Tt probably cannot transported from the east and sold at a price much lower than that which now prevails in this cit The best coke is sold 1 the state of Now York for less than $4 por ton, put as bituminous coal sells in Omaha from $6 to 87 per ton the price of home made coke would Ye higher than in th enst, though much lower than the im- ported article is hove at present. It is claimed hy some who ha attention to this subject that the bi tuminous coal of the west contains too largo a percentage of sulphur and ash to make good coke, but it appears that samples from the western mines have been tried in Pennsylvania coking ovens and reported all right. 1t does not seem to have heen definitely deter- mined by actual experiment that the western coal cannot he transformed into coke that will meet the popular demand for a cheaper fusl. One of the chief hindrances would undoubtedly be the high rates of transportation on the rail- rouds, whose policy of charging “all the traffic will bear” is keeping even the products of our loeal mines at prices cn- irely too high. But time may cure Wo think that the people of No- 1 would be glad to see the coke ex: ment thoroughly tried, and if article were furnished 1t would cer- tainly meet with a large sale. Such prices as are now demanded for anthra cite call loudly for a remed The peo- ple simply cannot stand the pressure, and any measure of relief, even if it falls short of absolute perfection, will be warmly welcomed by thousands who are depressed by exteavagant fuel bills. bo y given good 'TON. The recent political change in Eng- land may be fraught with consequences of considerable importance to one of the interests of this country that has suf- fored at the hands of the tories. Mr. Gladstono is opposed to the present lit- eral interpretation of the treaty of 1818, which provides that American fisher- men may enter Canadian ports “for the purpose of shelter and of repairing dam- ages therein, of purchasing wood, and of obtaining water, and for no other purpose whatever.” By adhering strictly to the letter of this provision the Canadians have prevented all American fishing vessels from entering their harbors for the purpose of trans- shipping cargoes in bond or purchasing bait, ice or necessaries of life, notwith- standing that the Canadians themselves would be benefited by the traffic. All of these things are permitted to Cann- dian fishermen in the ports of the United States, but the Nova Scotians, it ap- pears, have an 1dea that by pursuing this unreasonable policy they will at length be able to compel the free admis- sion of their fish to the American mar- ket, an iden that seems to be favored by the Dominion government. Upon the expiration in 1885 of the fishery clause of the treaty of 1871, by which the fish and fish produets of Can- ada had been admitted into this country free of Guty, the Dominion go vernment began a seriesofl seizures of American fishing vessels and other high-handed proceedings simed at our fishing inter- ests which threatened at the time to re- sult in serious international diflicuities, Since then the American fishermen bave been required to pay a fee to the Do- mirion government for the privilego of buying needed supplics or hiring crews in its harbors. It is known that Mr. Gladstone re- gurds the literal construction of the trenty upon which this offensive auti- tude of Canada is based as unreasona- ble, unnecessary and opposed to the maintenance of cordial relations between the two countries, and it is quite likely that good results may ensue from thoe ef- forts which it is said the Harrison ad- ministration will make to bring about a readjustment of the matter. In her present temper Canada will undoubtedly oppose it with some bitterness. She does not feel very kirdly toward the United States since hor willful and in- excusable violation of the canal treaty was vesented by our government. But it is believed that she English govern- ment will see the folly of the narrow, unreasonable and exasperating policy that is pursued toward the fishing in- terests of this couatry. NION VETERAN. The great encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Wushington af- fords an illustration of the imperishable character.of the patriotic enthusiasm of those who took up arms in defense of the union. It is many yeuvs since the boys in blue wero mustered out of the service and went to their homes to de- vote themselves to the arts of peace. They have been for more than a quar- ter of & century the least warlike of men, and only at the reunions of the Grand Army of the Republic veterans have they shown that they remember the stirring and tragic scenes in which they were uctors. . The numberof union veterans is rap- idly diminishing, but it appears that the raoks of the Grand Army of the Republic are not correspondingly deei- wated, for the reason that many new re- cruits are added every year to the or- ganization, New postsare springing up in all parts of the country and thus many veterans are brought into the &reat brotherhood who would not other- The coke sold here comes from | N | present is 407,781, and during the past | | was 6,440; 1nsts al- | wise be embraced in its membership. The total number in good standing at yenar thors has been an increase of 229 posts, making a total of 7,568 with an increase of 64,401 in membership. The losses in membership by death were con- siderable, but the actual gain was about 1,200. The number of deaths last year honorable discharges, 1,820; suspensions, ; dishonorable dis charges, 467 delinquencies, 13,582 These figures afford some iden of the strict rules enforced by the organiza- tion. A man cannot be a member of the Grand Army of the Republic in good standing merely because he was aunion soldier, The ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic will not be greatly reduced for some years to come, as the organi zntion of new posts will continue to bring in veterans who have not hitherto had opportunity to join without great inconvenience. In a few years, how- ever the ranks will be thinned very vap- idly by death, and it will not be many years before the Grand Army of tho Republic will be only a memory. These rennions of the countr de- fenders deserve to be encouraged by all American eitizens, and the patriotic lessons which they teach should nov be lost upon the young. America honors ber defenders, living and dead, and their sacrifices never will be forgotten ENGLAND'S LABOR TROUBLES. The depression of her industries and the decline of her commercial power ave not the only troubles which confront England. One hardly less serious than olther of these is the demand of the Inbor unions for a legal working day limited to eight hou It is the inten- tion to strenuously press this questionin parlinment, some of the members of which owe their election solely to the fact that they plédged themselves to their constituents to support the shorter day movement. What the liberals, who are now in power, will do with the ques- tion, is yet to be determined. Mr. Glad- stone has steadily declined to commit himself with regard to the movement, though his sentiments before the elec- tion which elevated him to the premier- ship were not considered to be favor- able to the demand of the workingmen, He may, however, nced the votes of the representatives of labor in parlinment, and in that case it is quite possible that he will not show any hostility to an cight-lour measure coming before ths House of Commons, even though he might decline to assist to pass sueh a measure. The conservatives, it is al- ready apparent, will vigorously oppose the proposition to shorten the legal working day. In view of the general depression of British 1ndustries, which seems likely to grow worse before there isa change for the better, this manifestly is a nost inopportune time to force the demand for reducing the hours of labor. The movement gets its principul support from the textile workers, und the mar- ket is glutted with goods in this branch of production. The contention of the workmen is the familiar one, thet if the mills are operated eight hours in- stead of ten or more over production will cease, the vrices of goods will ad- vance and the cause for reducing wages will be removed. The reply to this of those who oppose the change 1s, that if the Britisit working day is reduced and not the wuge rate foreign competition will destrd English production and leave the textile workers without a working day of uny length and without greater or lesser wages. The force of this will be understood when it is stated that the continental rivals of the Eng- lish manufacturers pay their employes lower wages for a day, not of ten, but of twelve, or occasionaily of fiftecn hours, and that even now these rivals are in- vading the English market. Under the circumstances the prospect for the success of the eight-hour move- ment in England does not look favor- uble, but the struggle that will be made 1o achieve it, as now indicated, prom- ises to be a source of a great deal of wouble and perplexity to the political leuders and of immeasurable anxiety to manufacturers, the inevitable effcet being to further unsettle and depres the entire industr to POPULATION. It is an inter 1 fact, which encries with it encouragement for those of the gentler sex who may bs apprehensive of leading the life of a “spinster,” that according to the census of 1890 there ave not women enough in the United States to furnish each man with a wife. The population of this country at the date of tho last consus consisted of 32,067,880 males and 30,554,- 370 femules, and undoubtedly the dis- parity then shown in the numbers of the sexes still exists. A still more striking fact is that in comparison with twenty years ago the proportion of females to males is decreasing. The census of 1890 shows only 95,280 females to every 100, 000 males, while there were 96,554 in 1880 and 97,801 in 1870, The losses of the war undoubtedly explain the high proportion of females to males in 1870, over half a million of men having given up their lives in tho great conflict. On | this assumption it may be we are reuch- ing a normal ratio, The distributioun of the fomale poriion of the population shows great diversity, It may be said in u general way, though there exceptions tothe rule, that the females predominate in the oldest settled stutes and the males in the new. In ten states the females exceed the males, namely, New Hampshire, Massa- chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Vir. ginia and North and South Carolina, There is alsoa preponderance of females in the District of Columbia, due chiefly to their employment. in the various de- partments and bureaus in clerical and other positions and to the social at- tractions of the national capital, It is not easy to understand why it is that in Maine, Vermont, Penusylvania and Deluware, in which the same general social and industrial conditions prevail as in the first named states, the condi- tions should be reversed and the males outnumber the females. The preponderance of the gentler sex in the seanoard cities is obviously due chicfly to the fact that the young men SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 go wost and The young women stay at home. Tn the”older sottled wostern states like Indikna, Ilinois, Michignn, Town and Minnggota, the women seem to be gradunlly eatching up with the men, and in the newer states the relative in- crease of women is quite rapid. Tn only one state territory is there but one woman or girfyt§ two men or boys, and that is Montagh §though the proportion is not much *g&ater in Wyoming and Nebraska. Itds a curious fact, that des- pite the prevalence of polygamy in Utah there w&td 10,468 males to 97,442 femalos in that tisrritory in 1890, Probably western women will not take kindly to the svggestion that their si ters of the east should follow the ex: anple of the young men and “go west for notwithstanding the preponderance of males in the western states, the sup- ply of murriageable women I8 largely in excess of the demand THE CANAL CONVI A great eanal convention is to be held in Buffalo, N. Y., on October 19. Dele- gates will be present from all parts of the state of New York and u strenuous effort will be made to create a public sentiment in favor of the improvement of the great waterway across the empire state. This movement dopends entirely upon the efforts of citizens of the state of New York whose interests are af- fected by the Iirie canal, and the mer- chunts of New York city are the prime movers. No doubt they would be greatly benefited by the proposed im- provements of the great watorway from BufTulo to the seaboard, but the truth is that the people of the state at large would gain no corresponding advantago, though they would be gainers in a smail measure. The real advantages would acerue to the morchants of the metropo- lis and the grain shippers of the west. Omuha has a deeper intorest in the im- provement of the Erie canal than any city between Buffalo and Albiny. It happens t the canal across the Empire state is supported by the tux- payers of that state, but it is neve léss trae that grain shippers who more than 1,000 miles from the h the canal are more interested in its im- provement and its successful main- tenance as a competitor of the railroads than people who see the passing boats v day of their lives. Heuce 1t fol- lows that the grain shippers of the west- ern states are aeeply interested in the outcome of the convention at Buffalo. It almost seems a pity that there cannot be a representation in that convention irom the western states in order that it may be clearly shown that the canal is depended upon hereasa competitorof the railroads for freights to the seaboard. Every western farmer is interestod in this competition:s Itis a matter of ree- ord that the railroads raise their rates enormously when the canal closes in the fall and lower them to meet the canal rates on the opéning of navigation in the spring. It is to be hoped that the whing convention will consider ‘ts and endeuvor to bring about such improvements’in the canal as will make 1t & more formidable competitor of the railvond in the transportation of western freight. The interest in this movement is by no means confined to New York. Itextends west of the Mis- souri river and is felt in every locality whose products go to the eastern s board. THE TIDE OF IMMIGRATION. The bulletin of the national bureau of statistics, recently issued, shows that the number of immigrants who arrived 1n this country during the eight months of the current year ending August 31 was 448,619, as against 416,570 for the corresponding period in 1891 Shoutd the svme rate be maintained for the last four months of the year the total immi- gration of 1892 will reach about 673,000, alarger number than in any previous year, except 1882, when the number of immigrants was 785,000, The lurgest proportion of this year’s immigration hus come from Germany, that country supplying 93,000, Russia ranks n with Italy coming close after. Then come Sweden and Norway, followed by Ircland, England and Wales, Hungary, northern Austria and Poland us the only countries furnishing double figures. It is noteworthy that the tide from Italy seems to be sluckening, the fligures for this year being considerably below those for the corresponding period of 1891, France sends less of her people to the United States thun any other European country, which way be ac- cepted as evidence at once of the gen- erul prosperity of the French people und their satisfaction with the working of republican institutions. An analysis of the immigration re- turns shows that by far the larger num- ber of immigrants this year have been of a class of people whom we can well afford to welcome to our shores. The proportion of Germans and Scandina- vians is very large, and these people make industrious, thrifty and law-abid- ing citizens., The commissioner of im- migration at New York says that *‘the best class we haye to handle are the Scandinaviavs,”,, who are always well supplied with household goods and mouey and promplly betake themselvos to the northwest'it quest of farms and homes. The Germans, also, are gen- erally well supplied with means and distribute themselves throughout the country instead of remaining in the cities. The class'of immigrants who are chiefly responsiblé for the demand for greater vestrictions upon im- migration are those who settle in cities, never budging from their places or becomidg assimilated, and among these the Italians are c spicuous. It is therefore gratifying to find that fewer of 4hese classes are com- ing to the country. The dangev of a cholera invasion gave a new excuse for attacking the policy of the government regarding immigration, but there has been far less of this dur- ing the present year that for a year or two before, and it would seem that the popular mind has very generally sot- tled down to the conviction that the United States cannot yet afford to put a stop toall immigration. The platforms of the great political parties both demand ample safaguards sgainst eriminal, pau- per and contract immigration, but rec- ognize the expediency of continuing to receive the industrious and worthy of foreign lands who come here to better thelr condition and are prepared to na- similate with our people and conform to our laws, —— WHEAT has had a little advantage over corn in the market during tha pust woek, the former having gained 18 cents while the lattor has fallen off 2} cents. During the previous woek there only a small fraction of a cont of diffor~ ence in the fluctuations of the two cero- als. The advantage of wheat during the past week was due to the holding back of wostern farmers for higher prices, while improved reports concerning the condition of corn in the west affected the price of that product. Exports of wheat wre considerably smaller than at this time last year, and as the foreign crop prospects are botter it is expected that the total wheat exports of this year will fall considerably below those of last year. Corn exports will not be so much influenced by this cause on account of the increasing substitution of corn for other breadstuffs in portions of Europe. —e ALL the friends of R. G.
