Farmers have to expect losses to a greater or less extent at this season of the year, and if conditions continue favorable they ought to be able to repair most of the damage suffered. THE expected rush for excursion tickets to Chicago at reduced rates did not materializo to the extent antici- pated. Can it be that the railways de- layed the concession so long that the people have given up their intention to ‘visit the fair and have made other plans Instead?

ENTRIES for tho stock show at the ‘World’s fair have closed with but two nameson the exhibitors book registered from Nebraska. This is a deplorable Btate of affairs. Stock raising is one of tho mostimportant agricultural pursuits in this state and an exhibit worthy ot the industry would form a most attrac- tive foature of Nebraska's contribution to the exposition. As it is, visitors to the falr can searcely fail to bo improssed with tho smallness of our stock exhibit, especially when thoy huve a perfect right to expect one much larger and more varied, THAT co-operation in business enter- prises may bomade a success has been amply demonstrated. Brigham Young demonstrated it is his management of the commercial institutions of the Mor- mons in Utah, and the fame of the Roch- dale Pioncers, the oldest of co-operative societies in England, is another illustration. But this very suc- coss of the Ploneers suggests that thoro is within the system itself the clemonts of disintegration. With a bandsome accumulation of profits, it is charged that now the mem- bers who own the largest blocks of the pupital think more of their dividends than they do of the patronage on which the continued prosperity of the society must depend, and that they expend the teu! in co-operative purchases. The ncident is merely indicative of the im- possibility of the social millonnium pie- tured by Edward Bellamy so long as human selfishness remains a charucter- fstic of mankind, A POTENT OAUSE OF DISTRUST. There ean be no reasonable doubt that one potent cuuse of the business distrust and depression is the apprehonsion that the coming congress will make a re- vision of the tariff that may injuriously affect most of the industries of the coun- try b; ing them to a more or less destructive foreign competition, It is not to be questioned that the dominant sentiment of the demoucratic favorable to a radical departure in the fiscal policy of the nation. That was clearly shown by the large majority subj which adopted the plank in the national | platform denouncing protection as a fraud and a robbery and declaring it to be “a fundamental principlo of the demo- cratie party that the federal government has no constitutional power to impuse and colleet taviff dutios except for the purpose of revenue only,” and thore is no evidence that there is not now & ma- jority of the democracy propared to sup- port this view. Nobody of ovdinary in telligence needs to be told what a tariff “for revenue only” means. Sucha policy would necessarily do away with all pro- tection. Where the purpose is solely that of producing revenue the duties must necessarily bo made with a view to encouraging and promoting importa- tions, It is but a short step from an ex- clusively rovenuo tariff to froe trade. The democratic party is distinctly plodged to tariff legislation of this kind, and the fear that it may carry out this pledge is oxerting a depressing influ- ence upon every class of industrial entor- prise. In the presence of such a danger manufacturers are naturally disposed to curtail operations and in many branches are doing so. Capital cannot be in- duced to embark in new undertakings that may be affected by the tariff. The disposition is to wait and see what will develop, and this waiting must result in an enormous loss o labor and an ep- forced economy which will be felt in every department of busi- ness, Even with the rewurn of finuncial confidence which now seems assured, a complete restoration of business activity cannot be expocted so long as there is fear of a radical depart- rom an cconomic systom that has valed for moro than thirty years and to which the business of the country is fully adjusted. There is reason to believe that Prosi- dent Cloveland is conscious of this con- dition and would like to have the eoun- try understand that the danger is not so o is apprehended. This inforence is fairly to be derived from the languag of an editorial which recently appeared in the Philadelphia Ledger, that paper being recognized as reflecting more than any other the views of the president. That journal said: “Upon the silver question it is known to every one that there is no one in authority, no 1 the country, whose financial pol- icy issafer or sounder than Mr. Cleve- land’s, and it is, if notabsolutely known, at least confidently believed, that his economic policy is opposed toany re- vision of the tariff which will injure the people’s industrial intorests or jeopar dize their prosperity. Mr. Cloveland is known by his own declarations, which are conclusive, to be favorable to a re- vision of the McKinley act, but he is also known by his own declarations to bo unfavorable to fre trade or to anything like froe trade, or toanything that would be unjust or harmful to our great manufacturing nterests.” Although somoewhat ambiguous this is in a certain degree reassuring. Mr. Cleveland has never expressed any sympathy with the anti-protection declaration of the demo- cratic national platform and it is doubt- less true that he is unfavorable to free trade. But there is uncertainty as to how far he may bedisposed to 2o in that direction and no one can assume to say how far he may boe compelled to yield to the will of a majority of his party. So far as known Mr. Cleveland has no very well defined ideas about schedules His study of the question of tariff re- form has not extended to details, and in the preparation of & new tariff law it is possible that thoso whose duty it will be to arrange the de- tails may not do o in all cases to accord with the president’s view of what tariff revision should be. Howover, there is reason to believe that Mr. Cleveland intends to prevent any oxtreme action by his party in con- gress that would be destructive in its effcet upon the industries of the country, and he can do a most valuable service when he communicates with congress in August 1f he will tell the country in clear, unequivocal terms that such is his intention. Nothing would more ef- fectually help to restore business con- fidenco and activity, DISMISSALS FOR DRUNKENNESS. In the controversy now pending be- tween the Brotherhood of Rail- road Engineers and the officials of the Union Pacific railway sys- tem over the discharge last month of certain employes on the ground of drunkenness, it isa mistake to assume that either party defends drunkenness as not being a sufficiently serious case to warrant .dismissal. On this point there can be no differcnce of opinion. The labor unions in general and the railway engincers in particular have never ceased to discourage the in- temporate use of intoxicating liquors. Railway cmployes hold positions in- volving a double responsibility. They owe their employers the faithful per- formance of their duties and they owe the public a due regard for the protection and safoty of the passengers. To subject either passengers or property entrusted to their care to the dangers incident to the control of trains by drunken trainmen could never be tolerated for a moment in a civilized country. On this all aro agreed—drunkenness while on duty is good cause for the instant dismissal of any railway emplo; The point at issue th is not drunken- ness as a cause for discharge, but the proof of the fact that the employes were drunk. Tho representatives of the rail- way engincers maintain that the charge should be supported by indisputable ovidenco before any action be taken upon it; that the accused be considered innocent and retained with all his rights unimpaired until the cause assigned has been found well grounded by a sort of in- formal trial. Ou the other hand, the rail- HE _OMAHA DATLY BER' WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 18 ways insist that they must rely upon the word of their agents and that to retain men who have forfeited all claim to con- fidence would be detrimental to both the company and the public. Their plan | contemplates immediate dismissal with reinstatement in ease the discharged man can satisfactorily prove his inno- cence, They also want the decision upon | the sufficiency of the evidence to rest party is | with themselves. There is some plausibility to the con- tentions on both sides of this argument. But the question is not yet so pressing as to justify extreme measures. Alittle concession by both partics might easily tide over the difficulty. The railway, for example, might keep its authority to dismiss unon a charge of drunkenness bat leave the decision whether the charge is sustained to some kind of an arbitration committee. Acquittal by the committee should then entitle the accused 10 reinstatement. The subject is sufficiently important to attract se- rious attention. PURCHASE Up to this time in the current month the treasury has purchased less than 1,000,000 ounces of silver or not one- fourth of the amount which the law re- quires shall be bought by the govern- ment each month, It has been the habit of the treasury, until the market for silver became s0 unsettled, to bave about completed its purchases before this time in cach month, buying on stated days three times a week, thus giving some advantage to the silver own- Seeretary Carlisle has changed policy, - 50 that now the owners of silver seck the treasury instead of the treasury secking them, and the gov- ernment gets the benefit, It is not at all surprising to learn that the silver men are storming at the ‘re- fusal of the department to purchase sil- ver at the prices they name, but they ave wholly wrong in asserting that the policy which the treasury is pursuing does not conform to the law. The silver purchase act requires the secretary to pu 4,500,000 ounces each month, “or so much thereof as may be offered at the market price,”so that it is clearly within the diseretion of the secretary to buy all or only a part of the amount designated in the act monthly, depend- ing upon the offers he receives at the market price. The Bland act was man- datory in requiring the coinage of not less than 2,000,000 silver dollars a month, but it appears that John Sherman, when sceretary of the treasury. did not strictly comply with the law. It is stated that in 1879 he had coined but 21,- 000,000 silver dollars and in 1881 but 22 000,000, whereas the law required the nage of 24,000,000 in each year as the minimum amount, The sccrctacy now hasa discretion that he did not have under the Bland actand in using it in the interest of the government he is doing what every fair minded ecitizen will approve. Had this policy been adopted sooner, instead of allowing the silver men to combine and bull the market, it is not to be doubted that the government would have saved a considerable amount during the past three years. There is manifestly no reason why the government should have a different policy in buying silver from that which it adopts in purchas- ing other commodities—that 1s of get- ing it at the lowest market price established by competition among sollers. Tho secretary of the treasury is complying with the law and his course nas tho general popular endorse- ment regardless of the views or wishes of the silver owners. FAIR PLAY FOR UMAHA, Through the unceasing efforts of Omaha jobbers culminating in an organ- ized move through the agency of the Commercial club, the railroads leading to the northwest have been brought to recognize the just demands of our local merchants. Tho practice has prevailed among these roads up to this time of dis- eriminating in favor of the towns lower down on the Missouri river by giving them the same rates as those placed upon goods shipped from this city, not- withstanding the greater distance over which the goods ljad to be transported. This was plainly depriving Omaha of the advantages to which its situation en- titled it and building up rival towns at the expense of our jobbers. A new tariff sheet, to go into effect on the Fremont, Elkkhorn & Missouri Valley and the Sioux City & Pacitic railroads on the first of next month, is said to have remediod this long standing abuse 80 far as those lines are concerned. It will place Omaha jobbers in position to extend their trade in that territory, which naturally ought to be tributary to this city. Omaha does not ask for dif- ferential rates discriminating in its favor. But it unhgsitatingly denounces differential rates discriminating against it and in favor of other towns, Fair play is all that is demunded and that is what we have been led to expect from the new tariff. If the Commercial club has been the instrument by which this concession has been gained, it has justi- fied its existence even if it should fail in all future eftorts to further the business interests of this community. PuBLIO attention is excited by the steady increase of the train robbing industry, and the Railroad Guzette sug- gests the organization of a state police a8 a restraining influence. It was such a force that cleared Spain and Italy of these highwaymen and vandits, and it is pointed out thav every other civilized country except this has a force of this character. It would seem that an organ- ized rural police, at least part of it mounted, subject to the authority of the state to keep guard on the farm roads, the highways and the railroads, will bocome an absolute necessity before long for the protection of the traveling public. Within the past six months no less than sixty-one attempts to wreck and forty-one to rob trains have been made. Tho attempts at train wrecking have been most numerous in the states from Massachusetts to Illinois, and the roads between Pittsburg and Buffalo, Chicago and St. Louis have been the greatest sufferers in this respect. Tramps ave assumed to be the perpetra- tors, and the great route of these nui- sances is along these roads where the mfleage is great and the trains frequent. Two-thirds of thoe #rain robberies have beon in the ' Mates from Towa and Nobraska to Poxas, including Kan- sas. But no seggion of the country seoms to be exentptifrom these doproda- tions. Sherifts qud” constables do little to protect the coupgry and their serv- vices are only jealled into requisition after tho bandits have done their work. Public indignation fias been 80 acoused by late outrages thilt the vocation of the wrecker and rohbér is not likely to hereafter prove a ‘safe one in any sec- tion, yot nowhere is thereany organized provision made tgguard against them. Until this is done these violent inter- ferencos with railroad trains ave likely to occur with increasing frequency. However drastic may be the punishment of the marauders whon captured it is only by throwing proper safeguards over the lines of travel that the safety of pas- sengers can be assured. THE fact that sixteen second licuten- ants remain over from this year's Woest Point graduating class after filling the vacancies in the branch of the army in which they are en- titled to serve, has occasioned the suggestion that congress abolish addi- tionals, except in the engineer corps until all vacancies are filled. Such action is not probabl Even should an increase in the army organization, of which there is some prospect, fail to render necessary a greater number of officers than are added to the army an- nually from the academy and by promo- tion from the ranks, there is need of every officer now on the roster. With the detail of seventy-five officers from the line as instructors in colleges and universitios, of twerty-two as Indian agents, and scores of others on special duty with the mulitia of the states and elsewhere, there are not officers enough now to meet the requirements. So urgent, indeed, is the demand for mili- tary officers for special assignmont that & number of regiments are now * without a sufficient number for the purposes of dril and discipline. In view of this fact the War depart- nt is about tocurtail the detached ser- % and many captains and subalterns now absent from their commands will be returned - to their regiments. Tt is stated that of the 200 odd officers thus officially employed loss than a dozen of them are engaged in civil pursuits, But the demand is sure to continue. The un- usual number of requests for officers as military instructors at the institutions of learning will probably induce con- gress to increase the number who may be detailed for thut duty. Instead of objecting to the nuriber of additionals, if the increased work that congress has put upon line officers of late yoars is continued, it will more likely be neces- sary to add to the number. THE returns now. coming into the Bureairof Industrjal Statistics from the various Nobraska counties indicate a marked improvement in the mortgage indebtedness in this state. While a cer- tain number of morfigages are renewed continuatly and new ones drawn, the amount of release dxceeds thit of the documents ficld. If there were any way of securing figures for the payments made upon mortgage indebtedness b fore the mortgage is canceled and a re- lease filed, therd is no doubt that the process of paying off farm incumbrances would appear to be going on much more rapidly than has heretofore been ac- knowledged.

H. I. Loucks, ™ taken from Tur Omana Bee. Mr. Loucks admits that * season of poor crops means corresponding gaius for the third party.” In other words he depends upon a public misfortune to strengthen the ranksof the independents, and he asserts that Sanyh Dakota crops are going to be very light. In this statement Mr. Loucks either iidtantly or willfully, is guilty of gross misrepresentation. The southern counties of the state promise as abundant harvests as have ever been known. While the newspapers generally, throughout the northern and central regions of South Dakota, are not complaining, but speak hopefully of a fruitful season.
