THE Chicago implement and vehicle are demanding lower railvoad rates, complaining that they are now unable to compete with western cities. As a general rule Chicago dealors have had the advantage of those in western cities and have been able to ship goods to the Pacific coast at rates us low as those conceded to Omaha. ‘Why should not the western cities have & chance once in a while THE farmer who thinks that his is the only business in which prices are not what they ought to be should take note of the fact that the orange growers are sufforing from the same cause.

The duties of the commissioner ave, however, only defined in general terms, 5o that the efficiency of the servic depends almost wholly upon the per- sonal capacity of the commissioner. As the law prescribes, his duties are *‘to eollect, collate and publish statistics and facts rolative to manufactures and the industrial classes and ally to mine mnto the relations between labor capital, the educational, sanitary, 1 and financial condition of laborers and artisans and matters pertaining to of industrial interests and espe and mor classen.” The third biennial report of the labor comthissioner has just been published. It is to be regretted that he could not have acquired a better conception of the scope to be embraced by such a work. Out of a book containing 664 pages but 120 of these relate to the in- | dustrial classes or refer to the labor interests of the state. Of these pages, ostensibly relating to labor, 120 of them are crowded with second-hana statistics of strikes in other states, com- piled by their respective labor comm sioners and properly printed inour news eolumns years ago. All matter of in- terest to the welfare of workingmon in Nebraska published in the report could be comfortably contained in one-half column of THE BEE.

The workingmen hoped for information of greater manufactur- ing possibilities and a clean statement of the resources and advantages of the state in this regard.

The report of the commissioner has been looked for in the hope that the evils of the contract lubor system might the appointment expected a a it prosecute o3, be known, and that it would contain some reference to conviet labor under the contract plan and how it affected mechanics of the state. All these ques- tions of vital interest to labor, as well as to the community, and which are discussed in the union meetings and trade assemblies in thirty or forty dif- ferent places and cities in Nebraska, are absolutely ignoved.

The advent of a democratic adminis- ion appears to have stiinulated the hope among the people of Canada that some plan of reciprocity may be consum- mated between the lhnmuun and the United States. A leading Canadian pa a short time ago sent out commissioners to ascertain the popular sentiment in the province of Ontario regarding relations with this country. It was found that the general publie opinion favored as wide a measure of reciprocity with this country as can be obtained, as soon as possible, and to include manu- facture well as natural products. A considerable feeling for annexation was efound in some localities, but the t Yor as prevalent judgment was that much of this would disappear if reciprocity with the United States should be effected. Under existing conditions therve isno doubt that the annexation sentiment will continue to grow, bat closer trade rela- tions with this country would undoubt- edly prove discouraging to it. The subject of our trade with Canada was discussed a ago before one of the mercial clubs of Boston, one of the speakers on the occa- sion being ex-Congressman Butterworth, who is one of the most intelligent and earnest advocates of commercial union relation few days principal com | factured products that she asked for her | have Mr. Butterworth asked whether, if it be true that the Tnfarests of the people of the oastorn and wadtorn states are best sub- sorved by loalldg the course and current of trade and cesnmerce between those sections freo #1d' uninterrupted, it does not follow logleally, for exactly the same reason, that aypry bavrier that intor- rupts or complotely blocks the highway of commerce hetween the provinces of Canada con the north and th United Statéy on the south should be . removed? There is some force in thls, but as pointed out by the Bosfiin Advertiser, until the | Canadian govermment is propared to | make its tariff uniform with ours this country cannot with safety to its inte ests enter into any reciprocity arrange. ment with that countr, It was this consideration that was chiefly responsible for the summary failure of negotiations looking to reciprocity under the last administeation. The Dominion govern- ment would not entertain any proposi- | tion to give the United States an advan- tage in the Canadian inarkets ov England, and without this e procity would have brought no henefits Canada could now be enjoying the closer commercial relations with this country which many of her people desire if she had been able tooffer the same conditions to our manu- us doubtless natural products, but this the repre- sentatives of her government said could not be done, and that put an end to the negotiations, Undoubtedly the ment will endeavor tions looking to 1 is quite impossible foretell with an degreo of certainty what position the present administrs tion will take.

There is still time to right the wrong if the subject is given the attention which its importance demands. Tho omissions that have been mide in the tinkering of the charter since it left the hands of the council are fatal to important city de- partments, which even the meanest shirker of taxation must desire to see maintained 1n some form. As the mat- ter stands now theve is absolutely no provision for the support of the public Lealth department, the park board or the judgment department after this year. [t goes without saying that to im- pose such a charter upon the people of Omaha would be an outrage. They have sought improvements, have given their pproval to the amendments as they stood when the document went to the legislature, but unless the wretched omissions referred to ave speedily cor- rected a wreck will be made of Omaha's municipal law. Why cannot the people what they want? Let the damage done by the legislative amendments be immediately rectified or else let us have the old charter with its imperfections. i report of the Reading receivers shows that the company has a floating debt of 18,4 8. In the annual re- yortof the divectors, made just before the collapse, this interesting and im- vortant fact was not made known. But it does not prove that combinations are not financially profitable under shrewd and disereet management: it only shows that such a man as McLeod is not fit to have control of such vast interests as he represented. It would be fortunate for the people if all trusts and combines were mismanaged in the same way.
