The yonr covered by the report witnessed a notablo growth of agriculture and satisfactory prosper- ity for that interest. Owing to the fail- ure of the crops in Burope last year there was an extraordinary demana for American breadstuffs, and the statisties show that of our vast exports, exceeding | in value $1,000,000,000, 80 per cent sisted of agricultural products, was the yield of the farms of try that gave the great balance in our fuvor in the trade with Furcpe. A very interesting purv of the reps lor the farmers of the corn balt vefors to the incrensed consumption of human food in I While the in troduction of this cereal to Buropean tubles has not been so rapid and general us might have been hoped for or per- haps expeetod by those familine with its merits, still gratifying progress has been made. Several mills are now grinding corn meal in Germany and find a rendy market for their product, while the demand in that country is reported to bo steadily growing. Elsewhoere in continental Europe the efforts to intro- duce corn as food for the people have nov met with equal but this will come with time, and on the whole Amer- iean corn producers have no renson to feel discouraged us to what has been ac- complished, It would seem dict that within o few yeurs the Euro- pean demand will take all the surplus and thus waintiin the price ut a profitable figure. With the increased demand during the pust year the price was held up to figures which made a difference over the previous yoar amounting to 10,000,000 on the exports of coru. But the most marked growth has been made in the cattle aud meat trade. The secretury laws have restored the confidence of foreigners in the houlthfulness of our catile, and the demonstreation of this is seen in the lurgely inereased shipments since these luws weat into operatio | The effect has been marked on the prico of cattle, the average increase per head for 1892 having been $8, muk- bestowed oflices, der view 1o seeing idea is e bo practi Dressure upon gardless ndieate con Thus it the coun corn as rope.

SPEED IN 1HE MAIL SERVIC! The annual report of the postmaster goneral will soon be completed. It is understood that he will repeat his former recommenda‘ions for improved methods and more liberal exponditures for tho postal service and will review what has been done under his manago ment during the past four years. The operation of the mail subsidy law, the extension of the houso-to-houss collec- tions and the use of pneumatic tubes for the dispatching of mail will bo con- sidered. T3ut porhaps the most intervest- ing part of his report will be that which relates to the sorting ot mail on street cars, The postmaster at St. long boen an earnest advocate of this plan and now has two or three street cars at work on the jines radinting from the neart of the city to the outlving sections and the results arve very grati- fying. [t is expected that this system will save the time of the ca and lessen their labor, but the speedy dis- patch of the mails is the chief object to be attained. It is proposed to establish a small mail service on tho streot car lines, with clerks and sorting cases, similar to those on the railway lines. A car starting from the point farthost removed from the central postofiice would pick up mail as it ran over the route toward the oftice from the sireet letter boxes and from earriers who crossed the route from more distant streets, aund the clerks would sort it as fast as collccted in order to prepare it for immedinte dispateh from the central office. Letters collected for loeal delivery would be veady for the cavriers who mizht bo starting from the office just as the car cume in, while lotters to be sent beyond the city would be ready to go at once upon the trains without being sorted at the office. It is supposed that this sys- tom would result in the hastening of delivery by several hours in mauy cases und that iv might make a difference of a y in some of the through lines to distant points. Great aceumulations of mul matter at the wvostoflices would thus be avoided and delays thereby cnused would be obviated. A report upon ihe results achieved by this system in St. Louis will be made and embodied in the report of tho postmas- ter generval. If it proves satisfactory it will probably be introduced io other large cities. In New York it would un- doubtedly bo successful. Postal s would be run on the elevated roads and would pick upa vast amount of mail sorted and ready for sending out from the central office. Lf this system proves to be satisfactory it can easily be used with certain modi fications in every important city in the United State: It will not besurprising if it is secn in operation in Omaha very Theve is good reason to believe that it will prove successful and that by the application of this system the collec tion of mail accelorated. stions Louis has eriers s00D, WHAT DID 1T PROFIT? Another great strike has borne its legitimate fruit. The Amalgamated Associntion of Tron and Steel Workers has acknowledged its defeat, and such of its members as can may return to the employ of the Carnegie company, which they voluntarily left last Jjune. Many of these men canuot get their old places back and must look elsewhere for em- ployment. They are in a bad fix. The association, which has supplied funds for their subsistence, has cut off assist— ance and they wre left to stand on their own bottom. During the time the strike has been in progress it has involved 10,000 men and hus cost in wages at least #2,000,000, not to speak of the hloodshed and su ing entailed by the terrible riot at tho works and the subsequent ro- sultunt expense to the state of $500,000 to maintain troops at the works. And now the men are to go bacl, 1f at all, 1n procisely the material relation to the compuny as when they left, except that their association will no louger be vecognized. All of this because men, *‘clothed in a little brief authority,” stiffen their necks and harden their hearts, and husten to a trial of strength, reckoning not the cost of victory or defeat. Just a little unbending, just u little reasoning, just a little giving in, and there would have been no Homestead strike. Had the men conceded the request to pro- ceed under the old schedule until a new and better one had been formulated, homes that were theu huppy would still he happy; hearts that then heat hagh and warm would still be quick with vigorous life, and families that look for- ward to a winter of privation because the father has no work would be blessed with plenty during the long cold months, when hunger is sure to pinch. A PUBLIC MARKET DEMANDED. There appears to be a strong demand in the city of Omaha for a public mar- Nearly ail of the large cities in United States have such markets, but at present Omiha has nothing of the kind. I'here are thousands of people in this city who would patronize u public mar- ket, but at present they buy of lo dealers and pay more than thoey should for overything they purchase. This is no refloction upon the sellers, for they are obliged to make w profit. The pub- lic market plan would offer them some new fields of work whicn have uot yet been oceupied. The chief obstacle whieh presents it- self is the large cost of suitable grounds; contrally loeated. But it is believed by good business men that this dificulty can be obviated. There are several localities in the central part of the city thutcan be had for this purpose. It cuonot be doubted that a public market would be patroaized by thousands of peo: OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY. ‘nln in Omahn, iu cities will be greatly” Fl And there is a growing demand for such.a market. —— Tie suicide ‘G Baron do Raina who was compremised in the Panama canal scandal, ‘Adi8 another tragical chapter to that 1oy unfortunate enter- prise, for the thousands who found a premature death on the work of the canal must not b left out of considera- tion, nor should; the many poor people of France who fourned themselves to denth over the loss of their investments in the canal bohds be left outof the account.

Unfortunately it led him to helieve that there were nn obstacles in engineering that he could not overcome, and he was able to mako the French people believe with him. Thus he was enabled to secure hundreds of millions of dollars to be hopclessly sunk in the diteh across tho Isthmus of anama, which will remain, perhaps. forever a monument of human felly. The history of this enterprise is now to be investigated in the I'vench courts, upon accusuti that a part of the funds raised were improperly used, and it is not improbable that Ferdinand do Lesscps, the author of the project. may end his days in prison. unri who o convi THE caso of George 1. Bagley, the express messenger who robbed the United Stites express company of $100,- 000 that was placed in its care by an Omaha bank, affords another proof that lonesty is the best policy and that it reely diflicult for a thiel to get away with his booty and dete tion. The most natural comment upon this theft is that Bagloy was a fool, and that a wiser man would have pursued different and kept out of tho clutches of the police. But it is much ecasier to lay succossful plans after than bhefora detection, and it appears to be a fact that men naturally honest are reduced wo imbecility when thoy ure in the act of committing a great crime. An illustration of this is found in a recent case in the state of New York. A young man who had been employed as a clerli in a bank and had oftea been sent to the express oftice for packages of money, conceived the idea of tele- graphing to New York for $25,000 in the name of the cashior. | Tho next day he went ioto the express o and the vackage of money was dclivered to him without question or suspicion. Ho took it under his arm and went to a neigh- boring town, where he and the $25,000 wero found the pext morning in a dis reputable house..

It has long been apparent that the $50,000 already appropriated would fall far short of the requirements. The point to be kept in mind is that the exhibit is not merely for the gratification of state pride, but for the promotion of substantial inter- ests in which every citizen is concorned. In acertain sense these stato exhibts will be competitive and as a means of advertising they will be unsurpassed. Apart from all considorations of patri- otism it is important that the Nebraska exhibit should be among the best and most attractive, NEBRASKA democrats will be greatly choered by reading this piece of conso- lation to Towa democrats, taken from the Davenport Deumocrat, and avplying it to their own cases: *“The oflicial figuros will probably show that hud the demo- crits of lowa consented to fuse with the populists that anti-Harrison electors might have been chosen as they were in some of the western states, But had a guarantee of this been given in advance 0o such bargain could have been made.
