Of course, the case won't amount to anything, but the indictment was a huge surprise. THE quarrel between the mayor and the city council is not confined to Omaha but exists in nearly every city.

Omaha has been so often disappointed, however, that it will be very difficult to convind® our citizens that relief from the Union Pacific bridge monopoly is in sight until the compet- ing bridge shall be fairly under way. The dumping of a fow car londsof stone and the sinking of a coffer dam will scarcely afford satisfuctory proof that the bridge emhargo bout to be raised. The fact thav the leading men in the interstate bridge and terminal project are connected with railronds that will come squarely into competition with the new bridge will rousc ion in the minds of our citizens that their sudden activity gned 1o block the Nebras- ka Central. If this is renlly the aim and object of the new departure, our citizens have liwtle to rejoice over. Omaha has for more than twenty s been bottled up by the Union Pa- ic transfer monopoly. She has vainly paid, pleaded and blustered in turn. From sheer exasperation hev citizens have voted a subsidy of threc-quarters of a million to make Omaha a free port of railway entry and exit. The company that has undertaken to give us pe petval relief has finished the surveys, mapped out its right of way and com- pleted its plans fordepots and terminals suspi and its projectors are in a position now to negotiate with foreign capi ists and railroads that avc anxious to come to Or If the interstate bridge is built and competing terminal fucilities are established at Fast Omaha, it will matter little to most of the people whether the Nebras Central is built or abandoned. But if the roads inter- ested in keeping up the embargo on Omaha’s commerce succeed in blocking the Nebraska Central by bunding an- other Dougius street by or u cheap railroad bridge for me :al use for the I2ast Omaha factovies, then Omaha will have little cause for jubilation. For our part we hope that the inter- state people are not playing the part of an obstructionist. 4HE PUBLIC I Is The commissioner of the general land oflice recommends in his annual report a general law on the subject of public forests which shall make adequate pro- vision in respect to hoth forest reserva- tion and the cutting and removal of tim- ber to supply the public necessities. He suggests that such a law shouid provide for the immediate reservation of all public lands bearing forests or timber, except for entry under the homestead and mining laws, Individual settlers, farmers, locators of mines, ete., should be authorized to procure from the pub- lic timber lands such timber as may be imperatively needed to supply their actual personal necessities for fuel, buildings, fences and the improvements of their claim The cutting or remov- ing of public timber for alt other pur- poses than the above shouid be prohib- ORES ited, nnd a penalty should be provided for wasting or destroying timber on public lands. The commissioner snys that the pres- ent and pressing necossities of those engaged in developing the resources of the country make it a matter of un- questioned necessity to place an immo- dmte and adequate supply of public timber within proper reach, but, on the other hand, a provisional care for the wants of future enerations renders equally obligatory effective measures toward the reservation of great portions of the public forests in the interest of proper conservation of the water sunply and for other climatic and economic reasons. Neither of these leading interests, the commissioner says, is fully met by existing legislation, many of the statutes which have been for years in forca being objectionable, if not practically inoperative, while the bene- fits of more recent le tion are not sufficiently general and farreaching in their operation. These suggestions and recommonda- tiona are not altogether new, but they gain in force every year from the steady reduction of the public forests through the unlawful cutting and reckless wasto of timber. Last year 829 timber tres- puss cases were reported by special agents of the department, involving public timber and the products thero- from amounting to $471,000, and while this has been exceeded in other years 1tis a very serious loss that calls for vigorous proventive measures, The west is very deeply interested in the question of proper prbtection for the public forests, and western representu tives in congress should carefully con- sider the recommendations of the com- missioner of the general land office garding the legislation such protection, ve- necessury for THE ED AL EXHIBIT, There is great consternation and cha- grin among the educutional leaders of the country in consequence of the dis- covery that the World's fair managers have curtailed the space alloted to the liberal arts or educational exhibit to an extent which renders it entirely inade- quate, not to say insignificant. A large number of prominent educators have united in a call for a meeting of super- intendents of public instruction, presi- dents of higher institutions of learning and others, to be held in Chicago on October 4, for the purpose of taking measures to enforce a proper recogni- tion of the liberal arts In the exposition. It is surprising that it should become necessary to take such a step as this, In the early part of the preparatory work for the exposition the authorities invit- ed every state in the union to prepare for an elaborate educational exhibit and promised ample space for the purpose, Jt was estimated that at least 15,000,000 school enildren would share in the exhibit, but it now appears that the space set apart ior it would not accommodate the work of four states, At the outset 400,000 squars fect in the building devotel to manufactures and tho liberal arts were nssigned to the educational exhibit, but it now appoars that this has boen cut down to a very small sp. ill-suitod the use for which it intanded | Three Catholic institutions alone have apnlied for 60,000 feet, but they are now told that only 10,000 feet can bo allotted for the whole | exhibit of that denomination,and the result is that the Catholies talk was educatio; of withdrawing en tirely. They had intenled to mako a great showing of the educational work of that church in the United States The remedy proposed is the erection of a spocial bullaing for the educational exhibit, and the meeting of educators that has been called will endeavor to imprass upon the directory the impor ance of taking such action needs no argument 1t to show that an ox pesition designed to present to the world at once. t ovidences of American prog all far short of its purposs if it d in the department of education, which is the chief cornerstone of our i tion. In no line of advancement this country achieved prouder than in the diffusion of has triumphs knowledgo among its peoble, and its contributions to the world’s wealth of learning in every department of search and investigation have been such that every enlightened visitor from abroad will expect to see an impressive display in the liberal arts exhibit at the World’s fair. There should be no back- ward step; let the.scope of this import ant depactment bo enlarged rathor than contracted. All of the states are pre- paring for their educational exhibit the enthusinsm of teachers and pupils everywhere is boing enlisted, and if their avdor is not quenched by a r fusal on the part of the directory to provide adequate space the educational department of the World's fair will be one of its proudest triumphs. PROTECT 1E HOME PRODUC The protest filed by the proverty owners on Leavenworth street against the brick that are being used in paving that thoroughfare has been considered by the Board of Pubiic Works, the city engineer and the as- sistant engineer, who agree in pro- nouncing the Lincoln brick first class, While we do not profess to know any- thing about the merits of the case, it may be worth while to say that the citi- zens of Omaha should not condemn pav- ing brick made in Nebraska without wmaking sure that they have good cause to doso. A large proportion of the puv- ing brick that have been laid in this city have been imported from ueighbor- ing states. It issaid by many who have given attention to the subject tnat the Lincoln brick are eq to the best made in other states. If this is true it is clear that the imported article should not be allowed to take precedence in this city over the Lome product. Ilvenif there is doubt on the subjeet the prineiple of home patronage should turn the scale in favor of the Nebraska producer. acknowledged that the Lincoln brick are smoother and quite as hard as those that have been imported from Missouri. Has it been satisfactor- ily proven that they will not last as long? Until 1t is conclusively shown that the home made article isinferior it should meet with no objection. re- POLITICS AND BUSINESS, In campaigns pust the affect of poli- tics on business has afforded homilectie writors a fruitful themo and many a pen has pointed the inevitable moral, *“Busi- ness must suffer whon people attend to politics,”” So serious has thissentiment been at times that the feasibility of changing in somo way the manner of holding elections has been discussed at length, and the proposition that the length of time which the president shall hold oftice should be increased in order to obviate the quadrennial recur- vence of a national cvmpaign and there- by avoid tho serious disturbance of bus ness has been solemnly considered moro than once. Many columns of figures have been massed in a formidable array of statis tics to support this theory that the American people indulged in their political divertisoments so frequently that their business affaivs suffored greatly therefrom. [t has not sufficed to show that there were lines of tr: that ave directly banefited by the exist- ence of an oxciting campaign. The argument has always boon that the in- jury to the great staple lines through the depression resulting from a close and exciting canvass wus greater than could be compensated for by the tem- porary enhancemont of trade in a few specials. This is only half true. In some in- stances the excitemeat of the canvass has interrupted for the time the stendy pulse of business, but the statemont that any general or perminent damage has been done is hardly borne out by the facts, It is not a difficult matter to array a collection of figures to show the number of hours spent by the American people in giving heod to stump speakers during the progress of the political battle, or to show the round totals sup- posed to represent the cash expended for ammunition of various kinds; but it does not follow that extensive damage to general business i3 entailed. 1f the experience of the present cam- paign, so far as iv has progressed, is to be accepted as a criterion, 1t is hardly probable that the count of the votes will be followed by the usual demand for an amendment to the constitution ex- tending the prosidential term to six or oight years in order that the country will not be upset so freyuently by elec- tions, Without discussing the progress of the campaign otherwise, it may be stated that the business of the United States as a whole shows for the last week in September an increase of 8.156 per cent over the corresponding week of 1891. This is outside of New York, which city has suffered eeverely as the direct result of the cholera scare. In Omaha the increase was 50.1 per cent, and in Lincoln, the only other Nebraska city reporting, the increase was 14.3 per cent. All the true jobbing centers show goodly advancement in the total value of trade, and outside of New York and Boston the fulling off is noticeable oniy e o Y.

Tha carotul study of the tabulated ¢ house statement aring as furnished by Bradstre s will give nssurancs to poople who are inelined to to think the Americans cannot elect a prosident without neglecting their busi- ness, RAILROAD SITUATION Omnha is particularly interested *he existing railvond situation and w may result from it. As was stated in the news columns of Tue Bepa fow Adays ngo, if the Union Pacific submits to the decision of the commissioners of the Western Traflic association, requir ing that the short rate made by tha 1oad to Montana ponts shall be aba doned, it will work a bardsbip to Mis- souri river gateways, among which Omaha will be the chief suffe:er, since it would deprive the Union P me in fic of Montana business, The motive of the commissioners in taking the action they did is not entirely cleur, but their de- cision would seem to have boen prompted by the Rio nde Western, which was doubtless influenced by the rivals of the Union Pacific. This appears to be a fair inference from ihe fact that the former road does no business from Mon tana points to the east, so that the rate made by the Union Pacitic in nowise worked @ hardship to the Western. The decision is to take effect October 10, and as yet nothing has transpired to indicate what course the Union Pacific will take, though there is understood to be a feeling in the official circles of that road favorable to getting out of the association rather than submit. Thisis but one of a number of circum- stances that threaten a general break- ing up of traflic associations. The con- flict of interests has now veen waging fiercely for weeks, and the number of roads that have given notice of with- drawal from the agreement entered into a year or more ago leaves little prospect of maintaining any association unless some new plan can be devised which will e accoptable to all lines inter- ested. Witha view to this the committee of vico presidents and general managers of the western ronds will meet pe Tuesday, when it is hoped that some- thing may_be nccomplished to prevent a return to the old order of things, but it is probable that very few rai officials seriously expect any practical result. The experience that has been had in this matter is not at all encour- aging to further effort to bring the roads into harmonious relutions, and it cannot be said that the lessons of the past are particularly valuable in point- ing the way to a better state of affairs in When the Western T sociation was formed it was supposed to be an ideal arrangement, but it has utterly failed to accomplish its purpose. This is mainly due to the fact tha t all the roads did not enter the association, but of those that did all aid not comply with the agreement. An- other weakness was in the fact that there wus no power or authority to com- pel obedience. Cunany plan be devised that will be acdepted by all the roads and which will include provision for en- foreing the conditions of the agreement? is the auestion that is perplexing rail- road officials, or such of them as really desire to work in harmony. The situation renews the suggestion of a money pool as the simplest and surest solution of the problem, and it must be admitted that there is much to be said in its favor. But a money pool to be fair and effective would have to be subject to government superyision and regulation, and it ‘is not certain that this is what the railroads generally de- sire. The people, however, would not approve of a return to the old pooling system, independent of government con- trol. REVIVAL OF AMERICAN SHIPPING, The admission of the Inman line steamers, City of Now York and City of Paris. to American registry places this covntry in a position with respect to transatlantic commerce which it has not occupied before in many Wo now provided with two record breakers of foreign build that are famous all over the world, but this is only one step to- ward the establishwent of a transatlan- steamship service under the Ameri- can flag. Contracts have already boen let for the construction of twororeships to an Amwmerican firm, the Cramps of Philadelphia, and it is confidently pro- dicted that they will be the best and fastest steamships afloat. Inaddition to these two, more ocean flyers will soon be built by the same firm to represent our commerce on the Atlantic. Meanwhile the foreign steamship companies are not idle. The Cunard company has just launched u new vessel, the Campania, which is expected to be the fastest, as it is concededly thoe largest, of the ships built to ply between England and the United States, Ina short time a sister ship to the Campania, named the Lucania, owned also by the Cunard company, will be launched. It is expected that the speed of these new ships will be phenomenal, and their carrying capacity will also be great. The Cam pania is forty fect longer than the City of Paris and eighteen feet longer than the Teutonic and Majestic, her length over all being 620 feet, while her gross tonnage is about 12,500 tons, She is provided with the mose powerful triple-expansion éngines ever placed in any vessel, and ivis said that she will easily average twenty-one knots un hour, with a possible average speed of twenty-two knots, As an incentive/to produce vessels of the greatest sible speed and power, the builders of these two new Cunarders have had in view the proposed construc- tion of two record-breakers by the White Star company and two American ships in addition to those already mentioned. It is evident that the Campania and the Lucanian will be noble vessels, and as they will cost millions of dollars it is needless to suy that they will represent the highest mark of English skill in every respect. But the Upited States has always ranked above Furope in shipbuilding. It is well known that before the decline of our merchant marine began, some forty years ago, the fastest and best ships on the seas were those which car- ried the American flag. Our packet ships were the wonder of the worla and 2, 1892-TWENTY PAGES, outsailed those of England with the ute most ease. A few years before the be- ginning of our civil war the mer marine of this country began to decline, id from that time to the prosent day | 1ngland has ruled the sens. It seoms 3 probable now that a era of pros | now perity for American shipping is about to be ushered in. There has been no 1088 of skill or ingonuity on the part of | American builders or seamen, but vast | interests at home have diverted atton- | tion from foreign commerce for many | years past. In the matter of speed, Amorican designers of vessels have nover been equaled. Ever since the | famous schooner yacht Amorien satled ay from hier b English competitors at | Cowes in 18 . oug yacht designers have been acknowledged to be supervior to those of England, The America’s cup still remains on this side of the ocean in spite of many efforts to regain it. In the construction of steam vessols of the smaller types thiscountry hasalso taken the lead, and the work of the marine architects of the United States has been copied all over the world. It is thore- fore perfectly roasonable to exvect that an greyhounds now building in this country, and those yot to be built, will defy all competition, There is no apparent veason why they should not be the best ships aflont. the o Mavonr GrantTof New York says he will not be n candidate again, that his salary is only $10,000 and it costs him 30,000 anbually The ous administration of a Tammany mayor always results in rendering him a pau per; we have frequently noticed that fact. pure and virtu- BARNARD,the astroromer who claimed to have originally discovered the fifth satellite of Jupiter, has about a dozen competitors for that honor.
