That system of disposing of garbage must soon be generally adopted by all cities of any considerable size. THE report that the combined anthra- cite coal companies have decided to ad- vance prices again is denitd upon the authority of the combine itself. It probably is not thought wise to give the serew another turn so late in the season. OMAHA'S increase in business last week will bo a surprise to her western rivals in trade. Dradstreet's table, made up for the week ending Thursday night, shows Omaha to have advanced 41.1 per cent over the corresponding week of last year. The total volume of business leaves the Gate City still sixteenth in the whole countr THE impression gaining ground in Mexico that the United States wishes to annex that count Considering that the annexation fever is running so high here it is not surprising that such an idea should prevail, but there is nothing in it. We want more intimate trade relations with the Mexican repub- lie, and that is all. A DISCRIMINATING contemporary ob- serves that Prince Perdinand of Bul- garia, who is to wed Princess Marie Louise, is *‘a cultivated prince who could make a name for himself in the world if ‘he were not burdened with a title and a fortune.” This is true of some other poople of noble birth, but asarule the possessors of titles and fortunes in Eu- rope would be of no account whatever without them. ALTHOUGH there was alarge falling off in the quantity of our exports of cattle and hogs during Junuary this year in comparison with those of the same month last year, the decrease in values was not so gréat as might be sup- posed. The total value of our exports of beef, hog and dairy products in Jannary this year was$10,361,319 against $12,187,846 during the corrosponding month last year. THE bill before the senate at Lincoln providing for the creation of a state board of arbitration cannot be said to have resulted from the success that has been achicved by such boards in the states in which they exist. The state board of avbitration is an expensive and practically useless luxury and is always distrusted by both sides to the contro- versies which it attempts toscttle. Let the bill be amended s0 as to provide for arbitration juries THE coast defense ship Monterey, re- cently launched for the government by the Union Iron works of San Francisco, has been accepted, in spite of the fact that she does not quite come up to the speed requirement. The company loses $32,000 from the contract price, but this fine vessel will give her builders a repu- tation that will be worth something in the futuré. 1t appears to be possible to build first-class war vessels on the Pa- cific coast, and there are good reasons why ships intended for service in the Pacific should be built there. THE people of Nebraska, reguardless of party, will heartily approve the action of the house in knocking out the appropriation for the State Board of Transportation. The board and its secre- taries have carned nothing the past six years except the contempt and scorn of the people whom they betrayed. The house should firmly adhere to its posi- tion to the end of the ion and it should follow up its action by repealing the act that created the board and sup- plement the repeal with reasonable regulation and an anti-pass bill. THE proposed consolidation of the spring wheat flour millers will, it is said, inzlude nearly every firm in the busing from North Dakota and Duluth to the | east. The parties to the consolidation have already engaged a manager who will be stationed at Chicago and will notify all spring wheat mills daily of any changes in the price of flour. KEach member of the trust is bound not to sell below quotations. The combination em- braces about 90 per cent of the total spring wheat milling capacity of the United States. If the plans ave carvied out this will be the strongest combi- nation ever formed to control the price of & commodity necessary for life. One of the Minneapolis men interested isquoted s saying that he has nog heard that any inning was made. The Fifty-first Thefire insurance companies of the | congress, republican in both branches, country have lately adopred what is called the co-insurance plan, under which it is stipulated and agreed in all policios that the insured shall pay pre- minm on, 80 per cent of the value of the property or else shave with the insurer any loss under that amount according to | the proportion which the loss may bear to 80 per cent of the full value. To | illustrate:-1If & building vaued at $1,000 is insured for 80 per cent, or $300, and is damaged to the extent of )0, the in- surance company pays the full amount of the loss: but if the insurance ison #3500 the company pays but five-cighths of the amount of the loss, or $312. the policy holder bears the remainder, | “I'he obvious purpose of this rule is to compel property owners to pay premiums upon the highest valuation allowable. They will do this only under compul- sion, and even the enforcoment of the co-insurance rule, backed by the power of great companies allied for the promo- tion of intercsts common to all of them, will not compel all prop- erty owners to pay premiums upon a higher percentage of uation than they deem reasonable. The theory upon which the co-insurance rule rests is that the policy holder should be vequired to pay a penalty for the privilege of ez g less than the maximum percent of insurance, as by so doing he reduces the profits of the companies. It is not to determing how much justice there is in the claim of the insurance companies that they cannot make money without enforcing this system, but its enforcement effectually dis- poses of their claim that 33 per cent of the fires are of incendi- ary origin, So large a proportion of incendiary fires would indeed bea | fous drain upon the companies, but the fact that they are sceking to compel the owners of property to pay premiums upon the highest allowable percentage of its valuation shows that they do not | beli that incendiarism anythi like the extent which they Jaim. They ave simply offering an in- ducement to dishonest men to ge in the very practice which they say is | making their business a losing one. As between co-insurance and increased | rates there may not be much choice, but there isa fixed belicf among bu ness men that neither is necess of ng the insurance pavies from financial ruin. A PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITY. The selection of Judge Walter Q. Gresham for the position of scceretary of state under the forthcoming democratic administration introduces a contingency | which, in case of cortain events, would prove of unusual interest. For many years the line of succession to the presi- president to the president pro tempore of the scnate and the speaker of the house of representatives. As long as no opportunity presented for putting this law to the test of practical operation, no objection to it was heard from any quar- ter. When, however, upon the death of President Hendr) the heir-ap- pavent to any vacancy which might be | caused by the disability of President Cleveland to serve, becamb the repub- lican president of the senate, a cry went up from all sides that such an occurrence would be a travesty upon the choice of the people. To remedy this state of affaivs a bill was immediately railroaded through both house of cor changing the line of succession. As the law now stands the presidency passes, upon the death, resignation or inability of both presi- dent and vice president, to the successi eligible members of the cabinet, com- mencing with the secretary of state, then the secretary of the treasury and 50 on. What would happen, now, if all the eminent democrats who are at present protesting against the appointment of | Judge Gresham should see the eleventh- hour convert elevated to the position about to be oceupied by their chosen 1 idol? 1If, by dint of fortune or mis- fortune, the man who eight years ago was a candidate for the presidential nomination at the republican conven- | tion, who refused a nomination from a populist convention, who was never nized as a democrat, should ney theless come within reach of the pres as the result of a democratic vie- | y, we should see the far-secing states- men who passed the bill of 1886 literally kicking themselves for their stupidity. The very thing they wanted to avoid, namely, the accidental transfer of the | presidency from one political party to | another, would be the necessary result of that very act. The situation would be interesting to say the least. SEVENTH IN NAVAL POWER, When the war vessels now authori are completed, which will by within two years, the United States will rank seventh among the naval powe In a report to the house of representatives fow days azo the chairman of the naval affairs committee said that it was the opinion of the committeo that cor has 80 provided for cruisers that now no others should be built, if woe are to battle ships, which are the fight strength ot the modern navy. With seven or eight more of these and their accossories, said the re- port, and a reasonable number of torpedo boats, our navy would rank fifth among thox the world, The record of ac vement in | the building up of the nav, sventeen vesscls completed and twenty-five in various stages of completion. Five of the latter » expected to be ready for sea within three months, all the cruisers but one, the remaining gun- | boats and a torpedo boat will be com- ploted during the coming fiscal yeur ‘This will not enable us to defy the world on the seas, but it will give the country aquite respectable navy, which can be incroased as shall seem edient until it reaches proportions adequate for the protection of our coasts and comme: In the construction of a navy very great credit is due the Fifty-first con- | gress and the present administration. The beginning was made under the pre- ceding administration, but progress was not rapid, owing to civcumstances which adopted n vory liberal policy regarding the navy, having appropriated over $24,- 000,000 for its increase. There was [ placed at the head of the Navy de- | partment a man who appreciated the necessity of having a much stronger naval establishment, with ships of the most modern type, and Secretary Trae; addressed himself with most commend- | able zeal and industry to the work pro- vided for him by congress. Rapid prog- | ress was made, and when the present administration goes out of power its suceessor will find the labor of naval | construction so well advanced that it nced have no difficulty in carrying it to completion within the time expected. The present congress has not been liberal toward the navy and it is not probable that the next one will be. Tt will doubtless be some years, thervefore, before the additional | battle ships which the house naval com- mittee thinks are needed, in order to give the navy proper fighting strength, will be authorized. Whether there is any increase under the incoming admin- | istration, beyond what is already pro- vided for, will depend largely upon the views of the president and the secrotary of the navy, and there is no public kaowledge as to what Mr. Hoke Smith | thinks on the subject of a na The | natural presumption is that being | | & Georgia democrat he is not an enthusiastic advocate of a large val establishiment. At any rate the untry is assured of a very respectable ¥, though seventh in rank, within the next two years, and this is one very important fact to be placed to the credit | of republic 1d administration. SoME of the ideas advanced by the government organs of Canada for the purpose of discouraging the growth of | annexation sentiment there and creating a fecling of hostility toward the United tates, ave somewhat amusing. As is | well known a syndicate of American | capitalists has sceured control of the Nova Seotian coal fields, with the ex pectation of introducing that coal ex- tensively into the United States in the event of the duty on bituminous coal being abolished by the next congress. In short, it is a big business | speculation, depending for success only on the abolition of the coal duty, in which case it will undoubtedly be very profitable to the syndicate and to Nova Scotia. The special organ of the Do- minion wvernment in Toronto, how- ever, has discovered something more in | it. It is a menace to her majesty’s gov- ernment, for this organ suggests that the American syndicate can control the coal supply of the North Atlantic squad- ron of the British navy, and they | might suddenly stop their output and dency passed successively from the vice | leave Britain’s ships helpless at the | mercy of an American fleet. It would be impossible to conceive of anything more. utteriy ridiculous than this, and yet the Canadian paper puts it forth with the utmost seriousness, while it is not to be doubted that it will be accepted [ as a particularly bright idea by many of its readers. The Canadian tory is an in- teresting ¢ v, and never more so | than at present., THE value of the product of American manufactories for the year 1802 is es- timated to have been $7,215,000,000. This is a magnificent sum to represent the result of the labor of American workingmen, and no stronger argument could possibly be presented in support of the policy of fostering home indus- tries. W a splendid addition is an- nually made from this source to the national wealth and what vast benefits | flow from the active and profitable operation of these industries to all the people of the country. The policy that has produced this fortunate condi- tion the demoeratic party has declaved shall be abandoned, and it will be abandoned if that par faithful to its promise. They will not go this far, how- ever. Mr. Cleveland has clearly in- dicated that he does not desire and will not permit the destruction of the pro- tective system, and its modification may be less radical than has been appre hended. A party th should strike | down utterly a policy under which the manufacturing industries of the country produce ov 7,000,0000,000 worth of goods annually would be given but one opportunity for such destructive legisla- | tion, THE inves tions of an American doetor in rope s led him to the con- clusion that a g outbreak of chol- era on the continent the coming sammer is strongly probable. He found that there had been concenlment regarding the ravages of the disease last year, and the tendency everywhere among the | health authorities appears to be to keep tho truth from the public. There may be wisdom in this, since fear is said to have an effect in producing cholera, and in view of this the denials that have come from Marseilles, Nice and other | places of reported cholera are to be received with allowance. Th threatened s necessity of ext prevent the introduction of the disc and they should eve o be provided with as little delay as possible. Only in this way can the United States escape an hroad enforees the A BILL has been introduced in the wislature of this state to prohibit the manufacture and sale of cigarettes con- aining opium or other poisonous drugs. There are few cities where cigareties are so little used as in Omaha and their consumption is not extensive elsewhere in this state, but it is safe to say that such a law would not be enforced even if the ovil were greator than itis. It | would be too dificult to determine the | presence of the poisonous drugs, not- | withstanding that most ciga tes ar supposed to contain them. Why not substitute a bill prescribing thirty days on bread and water for any dude con- vieted of smoking cigarcttos?
