THE supremacy of Covington as a wicked town is still undisputed by any other city in Nebraska; but it is encour- aging to learn that a new city marshal has been selected who promises to do something for the suppression of the tough element that overflows from Sioux City and gives Covington a reputation which does not entively belong to her. THE enforcement of cholera regula- tions has had an important effect upon immigration to this country since the latter partof last summer, the falling off having been very large. The immigra- gration last month amounted to a total of 12,568, compared with 26,068 in the same month of 18! The decrease will probably be still greater this month. A CURIOUS case of excessive public generosity is reported from Boston. It has been found necessary to request peo- plo to stop sending in money for the Phillips Brooks fund, as it has already reached $80,000. If it had been stated in the request for contributions that all money received in excess of what was needed would be given to the poor it would not have been necessary to call a halt. THE sugar manufacturers of New Or- leans are making preparations for a very extensive exhibit of their products | at the World's fair.

It will be a good thing for the manufacturers themselves and also a benefit to the state, THE scurrilous ussault of the bastard democratic organ of this city upon Rep- resentatives Keckley and Davies are a disgrace to Nebraska journalism.

An aggressive popular movement has been started against the telephone monopoly. The National Citizens In- | dustrial Alliance, having its head- | quarters in New York, is civeulating | rhont the country petitions to the | president of the United States, the at- torney general and to congress, praying | that the people be given relief from the of the telephone monopoly, still operating under patents alleged to | be illegal, fraudulent and void. The petition points out the excessive charges in this country as compared With those in Europe, where the Amerie can Bell Telephone company could not cure a continuance of its monopoly as it was enabled to do in this conntry by means which the ex-attorn: general has declared to have been mis leading and fraudulent, and the alliance exactions | asks the support in this movement of organizations of business men and work- ingmen, a numbor of which have given it their approval. The business interests of the eountry of all classes ought to feel a very serious interest in this matter, since it affects many millions of aggregate, while the suppression | dollars a in the evoryhody should desir of this rapacious monopoly if it can be there yoi is stron , that it is lly and fraundul as belic t advantages ille to can t njo, and it may be eorruptly ions atod w itable ex: be appre that the people of the Unit from ten to twenty times more than the | people of Burope for telephone service, and unless the monopoly is broken up the charges hero are more likely to be rereased than diminished. There seems to be no reasonable doubt that the government has a ood case against the American Bell Telephone company, but un- less thore is a strong public senti- ment that will compel attention at Washington, demanding that the govern- ment shall vigorously push its case, the wealthy and powerful corporation u allowed t) on plundering the public for years to come.

THE LEATHER COMBINATIO The leather trust, recently formed with a capital of $30,000,000, has alveady begun to be felt by retailers in advanced prices. A eurious defense of this great combination is presented by the Shoe and | Leather Reporter, a journal which one would think ought to be on the side of the dealersand consumers of leather in- stoad of hat of the powesful monopoly whose operations it attempts to excuse. The paper refer ed to says that the combination “'is only meant to rescue a greatand indispensable industry from the dilapidation into which it was in danger of falling through excessive compotition and a lack of c¢oncert of action on the partof thoseengaged init. * * % The | parties who ave carrying it into execu- tion ave the strongest men in the busi- ness, both in respect to means and ability. They own notonly the estab- lishments they have agreed to pool for the common benefit, but large portions of the bark lands, without which the | tanneries would be unavailable for pro- duction. They are in one sense masters of th ituation—that is to say, they have it in their power to maintain such prices for leather as will make their business fairly remunerative.” This is the stock argument of the monopolist and it is very boldly and plainly stated. It means simply that these men have the power to prevent | competition and that they are therefore justified in doing The statement that they cannot make money without vesorting to this measure has no force, because it begs the whole question by ignoring the true principles of compe- tition as universally aoplied unde; natural trade conditions. Free compe- tition gives every man a chance, and the man who cannot stand the pace that is set by his competitors is always at libarty to drop out. That is the principle for which the American people are contending now, and because they firmly believe in it they refuse to thle » the ¢ombinations which are sceking t) overthrow it. Note the statement that the moan who have strongoest are ¢om- ratively fow, but they posisess vast They overshadow all lesser competitors. If they eannot make money how can the smaller manufacturers of leather, who contribute to the volume of the competition which they seek to suppress, con- tinue to carry on business under like conditions? The rvich firms that have formed this great combination “own a large portion of the bark lands, without which the tanneries would be unavail- able for production.” In other words they are able to put a check upon pro- duction by restricting the output of bark, and this is clearly their purpose. Neither the trusts nor the can confuse the publie judgment on this | subject, The wonder is that in the present state of the popular mind in respect to combinations they should have the assurance t» put forth such excuses. 50, r apologists | thin | PHILADELPHIA has the largest num- | ber of houses owned by workingmen of any of the great inlustrial this country or abroad. This is the re- sult of the highly suceessful operation of its building associations. In B)ston the Boston Co-operative Building company | has recently issued its twenty-second an- nual report, giving the details of its fifty houses in that city and sixteenin the neighborhood, and its newest opera- tion, a hollow square of four blocks of houses, twenty-four in all, making sev- enty-six houses, with 960 rooms, in which there live 235 families and 799 persons, at weekly rents 3 ing from 638 eents to $116.

'0 such CHIN EXCLUSION, The published extracts from the cor- respondence botween this government and that of China regarding the restric- tion and exclusion of Chinese immigra- tion, while they do not present a com- 1 of the policy of the United S'ates, show t there was some excuse for the course of this eoun- try in the eonluet of the Chiness gov- ernment. It is painted out that the fail- of the lattar to ratify the treaty ne- gotiated in 1333 was lasgoly rosponsible for the logislation of that year inc i ons upon the as its effect influencoe It ons- immigra- was 1o exe upon Amer tion of Chinese, a prejudicial ican sentimont. pears that the nments in substan- tial aoeord precading the legislation of 1833 an1 1802, anl with regard t) tha latest of this legislation, which went into eff May 5, 1892, it is contended by our governmont that its aim is to tect th sons and rights of all a¢ porsons entitled to residential privilogos, as it doos to prevent their frandulent cajoymont by those not en titled thereto. This act provides that all Chinese la- borers who may be within the limits of the United Siates at the expivation of ono year, May 5, 1333, shall apply to the eollector of internal revenus of their re- spective districts for a cestificate of re dencet that afterw. wore 15 d any such laborer | who failed to make an application or who should States be found without a within the United cortificate should be arrested and taken before a federal judge: that un the offender could show to tfle satisfaction of the court good reason for failure to comply with | the law he should be deported to China | or o the for was o subject. an country of which he The act also provide that pending removal every Chinese per- son or person of Chinese descent c¢on- victed and adjudged to be not lawfully Tnited State shall be imprisoned at hard labor for year. It appears to be very general understanding among Chinese that they will not obey the and will carry the whole question to the United States supreme court the ground that the penal provi- ons of the act are unconstitutional. Their right to do this is «f course un- questionable, for as stated in the corre- vetary of state, the judicial branch of the government is as frecly open to the Chinese subject as to the citizens of the United States. Mean- time it is the duty of the executive branch of the government to enforce the law, and itis the understanding that 11 do so. That the statute is as: stitutional grounds is affirmed by some of the bost lawyers in the country. In di: criminating against a certain class of resi- dents, in contravening treaty obligations, and in confining testimony required by the act to white persons, thus excluding American citizens as witnesses for no other cause than color, all these are weak points in the law which render it of doubtful constitutionality. The indi- cations arc that when the time arrives for enforeing the ponalties of the act the government will be confronted with a very troubldsome problem, while in the event of the law being declaved void by the supreme court after its enforcement the government might be subjected to a heavy pecuniary lo Tt is not a state of affairs altogether creditable to this frec and enlightened country. on ailable on con- BERING SEA ARBITRATION. The Bering sea court of arbitration has met, organized and adjourned to April 4, the members in the meantime to examine the printed a*guments of the United States and Great Britain. Thus, after years of controversy, which at times threatened to develop into serious hostility, an issue of great interest to the eountries involv not to all others, is to find peaceable settlement by arbitration, a method for the ad- justment of international differences to which the enl tened world looks with increasing hopefulness, though with no abatement among the nations in the preparations for self-protection. The courty which convened at'Paris on Thursday consists of seven moemt T Great Britain and the United States each having two, France, Italy and Sweden supplying the other three arbi- trators, who will undoubtedly be the de- ciding members. The questions to be passed upon by the court are five in number, and relate to the oxclusive jurisdiction and rights orc by Russia in the Bering sea and its fisheries at the time of the cession of Alaska to the United States; how far Russia's claims of juris- diction and of right in the seal fisheries we recognized by Great Britain: whether the Bering sea was in- expression “Pasific ocean’ the treaty of 1325 botween Great Britain and Rassia, and b2sides those historical questions are others that deal with the character and habits of the and manner of such protection. It is 5 will ba an extremely strong what curred a fow days agointhe B Parliament that this view is not fined to this country. e vital point to be detsrmined is mani- fostly the extent of exclusive jurisdiction in Boring sea and its fish- eries asserted and exercisod by Russia while Alaska was a possession of that eoun for whate that wasi the United States obtained by the ¢ m of It woald seam that there ought not ty ba very graat diffizalty in da termining this, and the facts and the argument, s) far as they are known to tho public, ave clearly favorable to the claims of this country.

With such a distinguished array of legal ning and ability the case of the United States must receive the most en- »rd t9 this eountry such lightened and comprehensive presenta- | tion. THE opinion is expressed in specula- tive circles, and t5 some oxtent among bankers, that a great merease in t1 ports of cotton and wheat may be ox- pected if prices are to some ont modi- fied. But in a discussion of this subject the New York Commerciul Bulletin says that it must be confessed that this im- pression lacks satisfactory proof in the The enor- of stocks of cot- countries renders it probable that the exports from this country during the next five months would be comparatively small even though the prics should be infinitely reduced. The stocks of wheat held abroad are larger than usual, and recent estimates give promise of a larg yield this year than in any year for some time past. It is believed that the for- eign demand for wheat will ba consid- erably diminished within the next six months without 1 1 to the pric in this rcountry. The expectation of increased exports of cotton may be justified to some extent by the present promise of a renewal of activity in cotton man- ufacturing in England as a result of the settlement of labor troubles, but nothing appears on the surface to indicate that Europe is likely to buy more wheat of us this summer than she has done for months past. Cotton is higher than it has been before in recent years and the price might stand cutting a little to stimulate its movement, but it is diffi- cult to see how wheat can be reduced in price. It is at the lowest figure over known and the farmer’s margin of profit on his wheat crop is small enough with- out a further reduction —_— PETITIONS gotten up to order by the railway manugers signed by railway em- ployes asking the legislature to desist from enacting a maximum rate bill, on the plea that they would be inimical to the interests of the wage workers, can have very little weight with intelligent and unpurchasable members of the legislature These yetitions have for the most pat bsen precured by the ovder of railway managers and signed under a species of coercion or intimidation which makes a refusal on the part of em-loyes cxtra hazardous. No railroad wageworker would want to lay himself liable to being blacklisted or laid off on some trumped-up charge. There are of course a considerable number of railway employes who are really frightened by the bug-bear of wage reduction which is predicted as an inevitable consequence of reduced freight earnings. The fact is, wages on railroads, like wages in any other branch of industry, ave regulated by th laws of supply and demand. The redu tion of railroad rates will not increase the supply of railrcad hands or decrease the quantity of products to be freighted. Wages of rail- road workmen are guaged also by the standard wages paid to workmen in other pursuits, Railroad employes in Towa have not lost their jobs or suffered a reduction of wages by the Towa maxi- mum rate, which is considerably lower than that proposed for Nebraska. The petitions of railway employes must there- fore be taken not 85 much as u protest from the workingmen as a remonstrance from their employe y ex- accumulation ton in othe mous ACCORDING to a report just issued from the Agricultural department show- ing the distribution amd consumption of corn and wheat it appears that this untry produces three-fourths of the sorn crop of the world and that only one bushel in twenty-five is exported. The consumption of corn for haman food in this country amounts to nearly 200,000,- 000 bushels a year, or ubout three bushels per capita, which is not larg for a country where the merits of corn as food ave . universally known and appreciated. The report dated March 11, and it states that the stocks still remaining in farmers’ grana amounted o 626,00),00) bushels, or 38 par eent of the product of last year. Sevemstenths of this amount is found in the westorn states, or 36 per cent of the production of that section Ouly seven of the! wostern states have any material surplus for commoreial dis- tribution, and itscems that the largest proportion, 44 percent, is in Nebraska with 42 per cont in Towa. Tho aggre- gate value of {hp crop of 1802, as re- ported on December 1, was $642,146,630 for 1,028,464,000 'bushels, or 39.3 j«@ bushel.

THiz managers of eastern railroads do not beliove there is serious danger of a general strike of railroad employes this spring. It is said that they have made themselves thoroughly acquainted with the views of employes, with the result of finding that only a comparatively few ave disposed to take the g rospon bility of tyins up the railway systems, if that could ba done, paralyzing business, and rendering the World's fair ente prise a failure. The more intelligent class of employes realize that such a eourse would bring upon them the con- demnation of the publie, and that with- out public sentiment behind them they would fail in whatever they might at- tempt. This is ainly the rational view to take of the situation and it is to be hoped that those who have adopted it will be found strong enough in the vari- ous organizations of 1 ¢ employes to avert any conflict that might threaten a gencral disturbance of railway inter- osts.
