If the citi- zens of South Omaha ave satisfied with the amendn should escape opposition from other quarters. IT 18 to be hoped that the effort that is being made to ind the railroad companies to issue Omaha stop-overs to passengers going to the World's fair will meet with suceess. It would be a good thing for this city and a conveni- ence to many who might wish to trans- act business hoere their way to or from Chicago. good nees represents on DEespPITE the tremendous eastward movement of wheat that prevails during the fall months thove is still plenty of it left in the west. The aggregate stock at Minneapolis, Duluth and Su- perior is now placed at 30,914,422 bushels as against 17,543,000 bushels ayear ago at the same points, and the elevator stocks are still growing. I7 18 understood that a large amount of spurious coin is now this city, much of it sufficiently well made to deceive those who are not aceustomed to handling money, or the Wwho are s0 careless as never to examine the change that is given them. Such money will pass out of circulation when public suspicion is aroused. 7 THE opinion of the state superintepd- ent of schools as to the use of school funds for the maintenance of training clusses will probably dispose of that question for the present. If the school funds cannot legally be used for that purpose the teachers training institutd cannot be maintained in this city unle aspecial fund is provided from some other sourc SraTISTICS compiled by the Railway Age show that the railroad foreclosure eales during 1892 were less important in the amount of securities involved than those of any previous year for eight years, with the exception of 1888, The amount involved in the foreclosures of last y , 808,000, while those of 1891 involved $180,060,000, and 3 181,000 in 1887 PHILADELPHIA'S attitude toward the World’s fair is much move friendly than that of New York. The Philadelphia Press is generous and patriotic enough to say: “If the World's fair people want the old liberty bell to grace and dignify their exposition there will probably be 10 serious objections to its going, under proper safoguard. It ainly did not take an act of congress to get it down to New Orleans on a much less important oceasion.” ce THERE is.t0 be another chapter in the long drawn out dispute between the Pullman Palace Car company and the city of Omaha in relation to the pay- ment of that tax account, The refu: of the court to reinstate the old injunc tion does not prevent the company from starting a new case, and it has accord- ingly secured an order restraining the city treasurer from selling the palac cars upon which he had levied. doubt those taxoes will be paid some time, but it is evidently the purpose of the company to delay the day of settlement a8 long as possible. No I 18 the opinion of the experts who have examined the stones submitted to them from the Idaho diamond ficlds that the mines must have been “‘salted.” Most of the stones sent to New York to be testod turned out to be quartz erys- tals.

The figment of native monarchy Hawaii has been overthrown and a al government is in control ssentatives of that govern- have been sent to Washington to present the situation to the government of United 'States and to take steps annex the Hawaiian islands. The people who have taken the reins of power in Hawaii do not want a re- public or a protectorate. They desire that the islands be made a part of this republic. Their reasons for this are both political and commercial, but chicfly the latter. As territory of the United States Hawaii would enjoy material advantages which she does not now have, and her principal industry, the production of sugar, which is languishing, would be restored to its former prosperity. The men who ave seeking annexation are chicfly speculators and plante whose primary aim is their own ag- grandizement. In their anxiety to pro- mote their ish purpose they ave wholly indifferent as to what might bs the eonsequences to the international relations of the United States of ac ing their proposal. The reports from Washington indicate a considerable sentimaent there favorable to this project. Men prominent in pub- lie life ave quoted as approving the pro- posal that the government shall malke this radical departure from its established poliey Members of congress who advocate the exclusion of European immigrants are wil- ling to admit to the privileges of Amevican ocitizenship a population in which the representatives of the Cau- casian race constitute only about 15 per cont. According to acensus taken in 1890 the population of the Hawaiian islands was a fraction in excess of 90,000, It may now be 100,000, One-half of these are natives and half-castes, while 30,000 are Chinese and Japanese. Th about 9,000 Portuguese, who ¢ as little as the coolies. The planta tions, the banking, the trade and the professions are in the hands of a colony of whites numbering about 6,000, 2,500 Amevicans, 2,000 K and 1,500 Germans, Is it desirval expedient for the United to sork a population of this character, tant from our boundaries upward of miles? 1s it not reasonable to assume that to maintain an orderly and p ful government there would involve amount of trouble and expense the benefiits to be had from poss would not repay? Tt true that islands fertilo and that un favorable ¢onditions for their develop: ment they might bocome greatly more valuable than at present. It is also true that there are commercial and strategic reasons for the United States insisting as it has done for half a century, that no other power shall occupy or dominate the Hawaiian islands, but none of these considerations justify the abandonmor of an established policy, and whe that voliey shall be abandonad this government will have taken a departure upon dangerous ground The annexation Spirit has been grow- ing during the last few stimu- lated by what some may regard as a patriotic aspiration to extend the power and influe of the republie.

If it be admitted that the express com- panies are as much public carriers railreads the authority of the legislature to provide for the regulation of their charges is unquestionable. We do not Inow thatany of the states have adopted legislation for this purpose, but theve is idently a widespread popular demand for it which sooner or late be generally respected. The express busi- ness is highly profitable. The panies are under no restraint in the matter of chavges for the sorvice they _, perform, except from the limited competition of the postal serv When not subject to this competition the charges for e carviage ave very generally unr bly high, making the most libera ance for the cost of this service.

Reports of British commerce for 1892 show that as respects materials imported for manufactures there was a decrease of 8.3 per cent, 40 per cent in raw silk, 21 per eent in hemp, 18 per cent in cot- ton, 17 per cent in zine, 143 per cent in hides, 11 per cent in rubber and 74 per cont in lead. 1t is rave that the supply of materials is so greatly curtailed in a single year, and the natural expla- nation is that there has been a great de- in the manufacturving in- of Great DBritain during the past year. Imports of iron ave increased nearly 11 per cent and imports of tin inereased T per cent, There was als) an inerease of 16 per cent in wood. An evidence of the depression in the manufacturing industries of Great Britain is shown by the fact that the manufactwred products eontinue to in- crease in the aggregate. The increase last year was especially great in silk stulls, paper and glass, while imports of iron and woolen manufactures, of miscel- laneous silks and of manufactures of leather show some decrease. The decrease in British exports during the year was significant. In metals alonc the decrease was £6,152,233 in value; in yarns and textile fabrics, £3,930,509; in machinery and mill work, £1,018,79¢ apparel, £012,323, and in manufactures, £3,525,933, in iron products was 19 pe; ware and cutlery ne: 1 in machinery 6 pex cent. in cotton goods was T pav cent, in thread nearly 12, in .3, in co pets 12.4 and in silk manufactures .1 per cent. Th statistics show a condition of British industries that has awakened much apprehension. A recent issue of the London HEeonomist gave a diseour- aging account of the iron business in England, and the same journal shows in a review of the eotton business that dur- ing the past yeavr ninety-nine spinning companies sustained anet 10ss of £94,860, whereas in 1891 and 15890 the same com- panies made fair profits. Theshipments of goods to most of the eountries which Great Britain supplies much smaller last year than usual. The de- pression in the manufacturing interests of that country, which has caused serious financial difficulties and has thrown thousands of wage earners out of employ- ment, may prove to be only temporary, but it is significant that such a depr sion should have existed during a yes that witnessed the greatest prosperity in the United States that has 0 recorded 1E GREAT pression dustries i in miscellaneous The decrease cent, in hard- 3 per cent and The decrease woolen fabrics were business ever b HERE ave two ux Indians from the Pine Ridg ney who ave decidedly off their reservation.

This work need not costa great sum of money, and it would determine whether or not the ship canal solution of the transportation problem is a feasible one. THI anti-option bill passed the United senate by, the vote of 40 to 20, which may fairly be regarded as a very decisive victory for the advocates of that measuve.
