N. B.—Look for a heavy immi- gration from Illinois to Nebraska next spring. THE annual report of the governor of New Mexico shows a gratifying incrense in the settlement and prosperity of that territory. The fact that during the past year 408,932 acres of public land have been disposed of points to a re- markable movement toward permanent sottlement there. Still, the character of the population at present does not warrant 1ts immediate admission as a state. HELEN GOUGAR is just now running ap and down the state of [owa traducing President Harrison and denouncing every republican in that state who has had the manhood to publicly admit that prohibition is a howling farce. This woman is said to bo undor pay of the democratic state committee. It is the same okl story. There is comfort in the thought, however, that this class of mercenary patriots will not infest Ne- braska again for a long time to come. THERE is a difference of opinion as to the sanitury condition of the Walnut Hill school which has been under dis- cussion for several days past. The health authorities are sure that it is very bad, but the principal 18 positive that nn ground for apprehension exists and says there have been only two cases of diphtheria in families represented at that school, and these are not believed to have beea due to the cause alleged. One thing is certain, the investigation has somewhat demoralized the school. The attendance has been greatly re- duced and exaggerated reports have been circulated by which it has been made to appear that scores of the pupils were sick with diphtheria, This is un- fortunate, und measures should be taken at once to reassure the patrons of this school and of all other schools in the clty by promptly applying the proper romedy. A diphtherin scare does not scem to be atall justified by the facts, however, and it is to be hoped that such reckless exaggeration as we have referred Lo will ceuse, —— IN sPITE of the delay in making financial provision for whe Douglas county exhibit of the Nebraska adver- tising train it is one of the finest of the whole collection and reflects credit upon this rich and populous county. The train 8 now on its way east and will be vislted by many thousands of people be- tween here and the Atlantic ocean. It is well known that many of those who have come from the east with the hary- est excursions this year were led to do 80 by seeing the advertising exhibit sent out from Nebraska last fall, This year's exhibit is larger and better than that of last year and the great variety and excellence of the products represented will open the eyes of all visitors to tho wonderful resources of Nebraska. No doubt a marked incrense in immigration of home seckers will result from this plan of attracting attention to our thriv- ing state. The people who are seeking information as to the agricultural ad- vantages offered by Nebraska will visit the exhibition train, and these are the oues whow it is most desirable to reach. e o A A Mo As an expounder of the principles un- derlying vur republican form of govern- mont and of the funcdons, duties and purposes of the gove nment, Grover Cleveland will nover be estecmed o standard authority. FHis long-delayed letter of acceptance starts out with an attempt, i1 the oracular manner pe- culiar to Mr. Clevoland’s carofully pro pared utterances, to defino the objec's and limitations of the foderal govern- ment in its relations to the people, with particular roference to the taxing power, and the result isa deliveranco which it is not easy to treat with seri- ous consideration. His commonplace propositions regarding the character and purpose of tho government will make no impression upon thoughtful people and they will be wholly wasted upon the average democratic voter. Mr. Cleveland says ho adheves to the opinions heretofore declared touching the questions involved in the canv and then proceeds to declare that the tarifl is a tax, the burden of which is too palpably felt by the people to permit them to be persuaded that it does not exist. In view of the fact that nearly all commodities affected by the tariff have declined in price within the past two years the consumers of tho country will hardly agree with Mr, Cleveland that the alleged tax is proving to be & burden, or that the policy which pro- duces such a result without reducing the wages of labor, works “a diminu- tion of the property rights of the peo- ple.” They will see, ther, in such manifostly absurd theovies an entire dis- regard of the real facts in the economic situation. As was expected, Mr. Cloveland does not stand squarely on the tarifl plank of the Chicago platform. That enuncia- tion declaves all protection to boa fraud, robbery, and a violation of the consti tution. It boldly provoses to demolish the protective policy. Mr. Clevelund says: ““We wage no esterminating wae against any American inlerest believe a readjustment can b» accom- plished, in accordance with the prin- ciples we profess, without d o demolition,” If this is not in ¢ renunciation of the platform it ¢ very near to being, Lvery candid de ocrat admits that the tarill plank is distinetly a declaration for freo trade if not absolute, at any rato of the British pattern—but Mr. Cleveland says thut “‘we contemplate a fair and careful dis- tribution of ne vy tarill burdens, ather than the precipitation of free trade,”” and he concludes his reference to this subject by remarking that free trade is impossible. Will the intelli- gent voters of the country accept tho deliberate declaration of the national democratic convention as to the position and purposo of the party regarding the of protection or the assurances of the candidate, who is influenced in his utterances by an everweening anx- ioty Lo be elected? Mr. Cleveland disposes of the currency question, second in importance to no other issue, with a few general proposi- tions that will satisfy nobody. He says nothing specifically regarding the free coinage of silver or the proposed restora- tion of state bank issues, and this ova- sion materially lessens the value of his declaration that *“the people ave entitled to sound and honest money.” Mr. Cleve- land endeavors to square himself with the union soldiers by professions of a generous interest in their welfare, but he cannot wipe out the fact that some 300 pension bills failed by reason of ex- ccutive disapproval during Mis adminis- tration. Mr. Clevaland’s reference to the question of regulating federal vlec- tions is obviously perfunctory. He evi- dently does not regard it as an issue, and in this he shows move discrimina- tion than most other democratic leaders. Remembering the almost utter disre- gard of civil service reform during the last year of the Cleveland administra- tion, under the exigencies of an ap- proaching national election, the refer- ence to this subject in the letter of ac- ceptance must be rogarded as at least of questionable sincerity. Mr. Cleveland’s letter is in must re- spects characteristic, though it is plain that ho realizes the serious nature of the blunders made by the national con- vention in regurd t8 the tariff and the currency, and hence there is an absence of the aggressive and confident tone which marked his provious utterances. His letter wiil not increase democratic interest or enthusiasm in the campaign, nor will it tend to harmonize the divers- ity of views in the party regarding the principal issues, A GOOD COUNTRY 10 LIVE IN. One aspect of the tariff question that has perhaps received less attention than it deserves is thus referred to by a writer who appears to ba honestly seek- ing information: Grauted that protection inoroases labor and wages, By so doing it makes this country a very desirable place to live in, and, there- fore, peoplo from all countries come here to live aud lavor. In time, should this condi- tion of things continue, the country must necessarily be overstocked with workiog people from other countries, and this will lower wages and make this country no better than uny other, As an argument against protection this has no force. The development of the resources of this country has for many yeuars depended in great mensure upon the industrious and frugal people who have come here from foreigu lands. The fuct thut America is *‘a very desira- ble place tolive in” explains why mil- lions of foreigners have come to this country to seok homes. A very large majority of the immigrants are num- bered among the prosperous farmers of the west. By their industry o vast ex- tont of rich agricultural country has been developed and made fruitful, and thus the uggregate of the country’s wenlth has been immensely incrensed. The products of the soil, upon which the prosperity of the United States must al- ways be dependeny, have been amaz- ingly increased by the labors of those who have come to this eouatry because it is “*a desirable place to livein,” Mil- lions upon millions of foreiguers have sett'ed in the virgin territory of the west and have assimilated wilth the older pepulation. All of these people are Americans now and thoroughly im- bued with American ideas. They are good, loyal citizens, aud the land of 18t thelr adoption is ns donr & to those who can trace thoir ancestry to tho little hand that landed at Plymouth Rock The fidea that a continuance of for- eign immigration will in time result in a serious depression of our lnbor market is not supported by past The demand for labor is constantly and rapldly meronsing in this country. The trouble lieschiofly in the lack of a proper distribution of the toiling forces, and it fo to say that in spite of the fact that a steady stroam of forcigners is Nowing into this country there is today in many localities a demand for labor that exceeds the supply. Tt should be constantly borne in mind that the Europsans who join our force of common laborers do not, as a rule, per- experience. THE OMAHA DAILY BY thom ne 416 | bo o largo surpluwdn the markots of the manently remain 1n that employment. They save their earnings and very soon take their places in the producing class, As common laborers they con- tribute to the country’s wealth, for all wealth is the fruit of lator, but when they apply themselves to the develop ment of the agricultural and minsral resources of the land, as millions of them have done, the benefits accruing to this country from their toil are almost incal- culablo, large najority of those who ottled in the vastand fruftful vo come hither from Wurope because they Dbelieved thut this was ‘‘a good coun to live in.” Among the western farmers who are conwributing to the world’s sun- ply of broadstutfs are thousands who were the poorest of common laborers when thoy came s America. Itis no argument against the protective policy to say thatt invites immigration, For many years to come this country will have abundant room for sll comers who are industrious and law abiding. A QUESTION 08 HONOR. The efforts which the democratic na- tionnl committee is now making to con- vier Labor Commissioner Peck of a mis demeanor in destroying the originals upon wnich his Al report was based hawe crented - great deal of feeling in the democratic part; Mr. Peck claims t] he has a right to withhold from the public the sources of information upon which his report is I'he law that created his of- especially provided that the com- mei’ssources of information should wded as confidantial. This ought to be sufficient, but there is a procedent that should not be overlooked. Whon Mr, Cleveland suspended George M. Doskin, distrizt attorney for the south- arn district of Alabaria, and appoint John D. Burnett in uis place, the presi- dent was asked by the senate to trans- mit all papers that had been filed in the case, but he refused to comply with the request. The president claimed that the documents were not of a public na- ture, and that he could not honorably make public the private communications upon which his information was founded. The case of Mr. Peck is similar. Gen- expressed the ovinion that Mr. Peck could not honorably publish the detai of the business of any firm from which he received inforn specifi- eral Porter and other statisticians huve cally stated in the blanks which he sent out that vhe information asked for would be regarded as confidential. No man of business cares to make his affairs known to the world. Those who answered Commissioner Peck’s questions did so under the special pledge that the infor- mation wou'd be garded as confiden- tial. The politicians who are trying to discredit Mr. Peck’s report should re- member that public sympathy 1s always on the side of the man who tries to be honorable, and who is faithful to his pledges. founded. CROPS AND PRICES. One of the most interesting subjects vf investigation and speculation at present, and one to which a great many people all over the world are g1ving attention, is the probable supply of wheat available to meet the demands of the coming year and the prices that are likely to prevail, the latter being a necessary corallory of the former. The statisticians are moet- ing with some difficulty in collecting in- formation as to the amount of wheat held in stock in this country by reason of the fact that the elevator men, asting in be- half of their customers, the farmers, re- fuse to disclose the quantity which they are storing, They aver that it is an un- wise and unbusinesslike policy for those who are holding a marketable commod- ity to tell the world how much they have of it. This idea is ridiculed by some of the statistical journals, but the fuct re- mains that the actual quantity of wheat now in stock in this country does not ap- pear to be very definitely kaown. Information from the best European sources shows that 80 far as that country is concerned the crop will boe consider- ably better than it was last year, but it will still be bolow the average. In the Caucasus and in Russian Poland both wheat and rye sre up to the average, but everywhere else there is a deficiency. Tn Bessavabia wheat will be only a quar- tor of an average crop and in central southwestern Russin only two-thirds, while in other sections there will be ‘three-fourths of a crop of wheat, two- thirds of a erop of rye, und about 60 per cont of a crop of barley. The London Statist expresses the beliof that Russia will have very little surplus with which v supply the rest of the world, Owing to exaggerated reports of a general shortage in Europe last year wheat went up to $1.23 per bushel in London in August, but during the fol- lowing month it began to decline, and in August this year it had fallen by de- grees to about 88 cents, a decline of 20 per cent. It is not anticipated that this extraordinary and unnatural fluc- tuation will be repeated during the year to come, no matter if the European sup- ply is much shorter than itis now said to be. Nobody believes, however, that the price of wheat will long remain at the present low figures. The best authorities believe that India, Australia, . South America and other countries drew heavily upon old stocks last year, ewing to the high prices that prevailed, and that they marketed all they could. It is argued from this thav in spite of the stocks now held in this country from last year’s harvest, the extent of which it is difficult to ascertuin, there will not SSDAY world, Tt 1s antiofpatel that the enen market will_be grontly, Mrongthened by the state and govergihont roports of the present month and that corn as woll s whent will sooli’ #how a marked im- provement. Predictions based upon the Town corn roport, wghich indicatoes a do- cided falling oft, are parhaps n little oxtravagant, but a better market is to be confidently a¥pdoted. AN INMPORT, The republican con venttan next Satur- day will nominate a man for county at- torr It is the most important nomi- nation that the county ticket will pre- sent. The duties of the offico are exact- ing and call for a higher grade of ability than that possessed by most of tho can- didates now in tho field. Few first class lawyers can affoed to take an office demanding the closest applieation and a cupacity which finds much better re muneration in practice at the bar. If the nomineo bs an inexperienced sprig of the law who has never partici=- pated in the trial of an important ceimi- nal case, he will not strengthoen the ticket. The posople have resoived that all classos of criminals shall be prose cuted before the courts of this county. There has baen too much indiffarence played heretofore, to say the least. It goes without saying that tho next man elected to the office of county attor- noy must bo a lawyer of courage, ability and intogrity. If the renublican con- vention does not meet this demand it may as woll not nominate a v for the place. The county attorney is the legal ad- visor of the Board of County Commis- sioners. In the line of duty he is called upon todecido questions of groat import- ance to the taxpayers of this county. He must know the law. It should nov be necessary for the commissioners to employ outside counsel in critical cases, as has tov often been the case. In short, the peopleof Dougluscounty want a prosecuting attorney who is a luwyer, a man who cannot bs tampored with and whose legal opinions are worth something. TiAr old chestnut about ‘‘free raw materials” is raked up by the Stuffed Prophet’s letter of accaptance. And yet the McKinley law and every other tariti inw has contained a free raw ma- torial clause for yoars. The Mills bill did not differ from the present law in that respect.
