Compare the telegraph columns of Ti § with those of other papers publishied in this section and you will seo ata glanco the marked superiority atches published by this paper, both as to quality and quanti The difference is especially striking when you compare the commercial news and cable dispatches of the Associated press with the market report and cable news of other press associations. The Asssccinted press has recontly ac- quired the exclusive use of the European dispatches of the Reuter Telegram com- pany of London, the Agence Havas of France and Belgium and the - Corre- spondenz Burean of Wolf in Germany and Austro-Hungary. The so-called cable letters that have from time to time appeared 1n papers publishing the United press reports are for the most part what may be called butterine cable- grams, manufactured in New York from clippings of foreign papers and latest foreign news lotters. THE BEE now as ever excels all com- petitors in its facilities for collecting the news of its own territory, which embraces Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Ne- braska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Montana and Idaho. In its local field, covering everything that pertains to Omaha and her suburbs, THE BEE has for years been recognized as peerless. Thesameis true regarding the original contributions and corre- spondence from all parts of the globe. ‘The editorial page of THE BEE will stand favorable comparison with that of any of the metropolitan dailics. A newspaper is a commodity whose valuo is gauged by the cost of produc- tion. THE BEE pays more for teie- graphic news than do all the other dailies of lowa and Nebraska combined. Uni- versal experience teaches that the best is invariably the cheapest. CONGRESS will be with us again in just three more weelks. WORD comes simultaneously from Berlin and Chicago that the people there are suffering from an epidemic of influenza and coughs. Chicago is bound to be at the front, even in the matter of first reintroducing influenza to the American public. NEBRASKA has been accorded the doubtful compliment of being permitted to contribute one of its citizens to the electrocutioner’s chair in New York. This, however, is not the kind of notoriety for which the people of Ne- braska are haunkering.

They should have waited fora tip from the white house before venturing to speak. ADA BITTENBENDER keeps up a re- markably even gait. Two years ago, when she made her first run for suprome judge, Mrs. Bittenbender received 7,322 votes. This year she scored 7,452, or 1,200 more votes than were cast in the presidential clection of 1892 for the pro- hibition caandidate for governor, who ran 2,000 ahead of the prohibition electors, Tue indictment of Princeton students by a New Jersey grand jury after they had been expelled from the college for their offenses must appear to reflocting people to be carrying the punishment pretty far. There is a vast dilference between wanton sport and premeditated eriminality. Those students will per- potrate no more hazing. Their conyie- tion by a criminal court will in no way tmprove their prosjects of bocoming law-abiding citizens. It is time for the law tostep in when the offense is one which the lawmakers contem plated. Tre members of the ways and means committee wre just now between the devil and the deep sea. If they stick to their original intention and report the ud ministration tariff measure thoy fear that they will be unable to hold all the demo- eratic membors of congress in the line of its supporters. On the other hand, should they modify their plans to accord with the popular sentiment indicated by the recent elections they will be gourt- Ing a break with the executive powers that be withoutv any more assurance of securing vhe enactment of their mewsuro (nto law. It is & hard choioe, but if there is any golden mesn we may bo sortain that the committee will not stop sntil it has found it. ‘gent to be misled by W THE WORKINGMAN 1V POLITICS. The addrvess of the Philadelphia Knights of Labor reviewing the causes of the decadence of their order and the repeated failure of American labor organizations to achieve desired reforms through political action is instructive as well as suggestive. The shrinkage in numbers of the Knights of Labor from 700,000 to 70,000 is teuthfully aseribed to a lack of able and honest leadershin. No order can long survive an autocratic form of govarnment. “T am the stat exclaimed Louis XIV. “I am the only man fit to lead and govern the Knighte of Labor!" said Terrence V. Powderly. While Powderly had great organizing ability his assump- tion of a life tenure dictatorship has de- stroyed all ambition among the ablest of his followers and eventualiy has deci- mated the Knights so that only a mere corporal's guard remains in localities where there wore thousands.. Mr. Powderly's leadership has proved fa also not merely because it pro- vided luxurious living for the seicct few who constituted the cabinet of the im- perial and imperious master workman, but beeauso of his advocacy of various isms, including flatism, Heney Georgeism and frce trade. The great mass of American workingmen ave too intelli- 1-spun theories something for that promise them nothing and seek to con it isto their interest to favor a policy that must force American mill and factory hands into competion with those of pauperized Europe. There is a great deal move truth than poetry in the assertion of the Philadel- ph Knigts that the workingmen ‘have so far failed to derive much benefit from political action by reason of the scandalous betrayal of confidence upon the part of professional workingmen, who put up slates in various localities with deliberate design to sell out to the highest bidder. It has been the experi- ence, not only in Philadelphia, but overywhere else, that labor party tickets have been chiofly gotten up for mer- cenary purposes, and endorsements for office have been in the market like any purckasable commodity. The conclusions of the Philadelghia Knights aro eminently sound. American workingmen should center all their ef- forts for the relief of their class upon a fow spec! ues, and by udopting the policy which Dennis Kearney inaug- urated in California when he declared “the Chinese must go” force all parties to insert into their platforms planks in favor of carrying into effoct the reform they demand. Above all things Ameri- can workingmen should aim to emanc pate themselves from political dictator ship, whatever form it may take, and make their influence count where they can achieve the most advantageous re- sults in the interest of the bread winner. GERMAN COMPETITION. an manufacturers of machinery for export are encountering a competi- tion from German manufacturers ich threatens to deprive them o a consider- able part of their foreign trade unless they make extraordinary efforts to retain it. It seems that for some time the machirery manufacturers of Ger- many have been making imitations of various kinds of American machinery, in some cases adding certain improve- ments, and entering into competition with American manufacturers, not only in the markets of Europe, but in other parts of the world. When the house ways and means committeo was giving hearings a few weeks ago a letter was presented to its attention from a manufacturing firm in Worces- ter, Muss., which also has a factory in England, in which it was stated that the English concern was purchasing ma- chinery in Germany made . on the American plan, and was able to pur- chase this machinery, copied after the American makers, for a good deal less money than it could be bought for in this country. Export statistics show the effect of this German competition in Europe. The value of the machinery exported from this country to the 1/nited King- dom for the year ended June 30, 1893, was very considerably less than for the preceding year, and thero was also s falling off in the exports to Germany. Nearly half of the value of our iron and steel manufactures sent abroad is in the form of machinery, and this element in our exports has inereased, but the in- crease has been almost wholly confined to countries of the American continents. The success of German machinery manufacturers in the markets of Europe and Australia has naturally led them to enter into competition with us in the American markets. It issaid that these enterprising Germans ave already crowd- ing the English manufactuvers in the English market. and machines made or patented in the United States ure suc- cessfully imitated in Berlin, Munnheim, Mugdeburg, Barmen and Chemnitz. Although the best stocking-knitting machine was invented in this country, within the last three years mills here have beed supplied with complete out- fits of cotton-knitting machinery made at - Chemnitz. The Amer sul at that point rec re- ported that the time was full of plans to open up foreign mavkets to German machines, due to their success at Chi- ago. Tho ¢onsul gave quotations from leading technical ‘and scientific papers urging the German manufacturers that wow is the time for them t) reap the benefit of the famd they acquired at the Columbian exposition. The manufa; turers are acting upon this advice and the American consul says that the plans have already passed out of the domain of mere discussion and taken practical shape a3 to Mexieo and South America. German machinery took a number of prizes at Chicago and the German manu- facturers are proposing to make the most of them. They intend to come into the markets nearest to us and compete for the trade, and according t report they e going about it in a way to deserve success. There are not more practical people any- where than these German munufacturers and having entered the fivld as competi- tors they ave preity certain to prove formidablo. We gave thom an oppor- tunity at ovr great fair to show the world what they are dolng and now they nee them thatyl wisely proposs to take advantage of their success. American manntacturers may be depended upon to take note of this and with their wonted energy and eaterprise prepare to meet the competi- tion. IMMIGEATION STATISTIOS. The report filed a few days ago by the superintendent of immigration supplios us at length with definite information concorning the extent to which immi- gration into the United States has failen off during the last fisca] year. 1t had been noticed at differont times that the number of immigrants arriving at our ports was not up to the usual figures, aad although & considerable inerease was visible in the closing months of this period, the monthly statements since the end of tho last fscal yoar show that tho decrease has again For June become more marked thun before. twelve months ending 0, 1803, covered hy the super- intendent’s report, there were H0,- 3 immigrants seeking admission into our ‘country, or 141,034 less than were recorded during the previous year. Of these 439,730 were landed, and 1,063 wera dobarred for special causes; in ad- dition to which number wore turned, having become public chavges within one year after arviving in the United States. The principal decrease was from Russia and othor countries whore cholera has been prevailing. During the months of March and April, 1803, large numbers came over, and in the first part of May of the same year as many as 20,000 immigrants were re- ported to be upon the ocean at one time destined to the United States, their ob- ject being to arrive before the modified and obstructive meusure in the act passed March 3, 1893, went into offect. The superintendent of immigration calls attontion to the fact that the exist- ing laws relating to his bureau substan- re- t ially accomplish the purposes for which fhey were enacted by congress, namely: To prevent all undesirable additions to our population by excluding the delin- quent and defective cinsses who would s00n become a burden upon the commu- nities which they might infest. Only three persons were admitted upon bonds in the last fiscal year, as against 2,135 during the years 1801 und 1892. The present system of inspection offers poor prospects 1or the entrance of idiotic, in- sane or contagiously diseased persons who may by chance have pulled through the examination made abroad by the trahsportation companies. And these that are detected by the immigration bureau are promptly sent back to Bu- rope at the expense of the steamship line which brought them. To the co-opera- t10n of these companies in enforcing the spirit of the law is due no small measure of the success that has attended our re- cent immigration legislation. These statistics have been computed, of courso, for comparison with the sta- tistics of previous years and at the same time to show the efficiency of the pres- ent immigration bureau. Whether or not there is need for further improve- ment in the machinery for administer- ing the law we need not now inquire. Suffice 1t to say that we have in this re- port indisputuble evidence that no rad- ical changes are needed in our method of dealing with aliens who desire to better their economic condition by ac- quiring a resideace in the Unitod States. A few minor modifications may be de- sirable whenever defects present them- selves, but there is uo call for further obstacles to the entrance of well-inten- tioned laborers who give every promise of becoming law-abiding and sell-sup- porting citizens, The country can well afford to welcome a half million addi- tional workers as Europe's' annual con- tribution to our laboring population. 16 DISCUSSING REVEN LEGISLATION. Reports do not agree regarding the attitude of the president and other dem- ocratic leaders on the subject of revenue legislation, which is just now being most earnustly discusssed by them. Ac- cording to a dispatch of two days ago Speaker Crisp, who could see in the re- sult of the elections nothing in the nature of a warcing to his party, said that the new tariff bill will be a clean- cut measure and will make sweeping re ductions all along the line, He also said that there will be an increase of the tax on beer and other luxuries, and he thought a Dbill will be passed to levy an income tax. Washing- ton dispatches from sources entitl to consideration intimate that M. Clovelund ~ will not approve any such radical measure of tariff revision as Crisp, Chairman Wilson of the ways and means committee and some othed democrats are promising. A rre- spondent of the New York Sun—in this case probably Congressman Cummings ~advises that paper that Mr. Cleve- land’s triumph in carrying through the unconditional repeal bill has set his pace regarding the tarifl, *It won't be what Chairman Wilson wants,” says the cor- respondent, “nor will it be what the committee will report, but what Mr. Cleveland determines to have that will go through if anything goes. He wouldn't evy if nothing went throngh.” The same authority says that tho presi- deont is not yot sure what the bill will bo that' is going through, but be is mighty sure what it will not be, aud then by way of inc cating the probable character of the measure, the correspondent notes that it was the protectionists of the senate who stood by Mr. Cleveland most resolutely in the silver fight and who saved the day for him. 1t this correctly represented the posi- tion of the president before last Tues- dav's elections it may safely be assumed that he is more firmiy rooted in it now and more strongly determined to make the party come to him in the matter of tariff revision. The result of the elec- tions in the states where the tariff wus the principal issue gives him a stronger grasp of the situation than he would otherwise have had, granting that he is opposed to cxtreme changes. Had the repub- licans been defeated in those states, or had their success been attained by such a narrow margin that it could have been plausibly attributed wmainly to local causes, the opponents of protection would have gained strength and cour- age and the moderate tariff reformers | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE; MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1893 in the democratfé party wonld have been pushed to thesear. As it is, the latter may now assert thomselves and if Mr. Cleveland is one of them he can com- mand a strong following—perhaps strong enough toccontrol the situation. 1t is well knowii'that he is not in sym- pathy with the dpetrine that protection is unconstitutional, and if he can in- duce the reprosentives of his party in congress to repudiate this idea in framing a new tarift bill, it is possiblethat thore will not be a united republican opposition to the ad- ministration's tarift policy. All repub- licans do not believe that the existing tariff law cannot’ be judiciously and ad- vantageously modified in some respects, but there is no republican who believes that tho principle of protection can safely be abandoned, and there is reason to believe that a majority of democrats, outside of the southern states, do not ac- cept the doeteine of their national plat- form. Manifestly the number of such is largze in Ohio, Massachusetts and Towa. President Cleveland is now engaged in preparing his annnal message, which it is prosumed wili fully enunciate his ws on the tariff. Tt will be received the country with very great interest. A rLac cnm Tho city is now paying for twelve tol- ephones in the city hall building at the rato of $48a year, which amounts to 576, It also paid for the month $77 for the fire department and $146.25 for the po- lice departmont In other words the city of Omahu‘is now paying over $3,000 for the use of telephones. This does not include the amount paid for the use of telephones by the school board, which amounts to not less than $1,000 a year. In view of the fact thay the telephone company has been given free right of way through our streets and alleys and enjoys a franchise that is practically ex- clusive and extremely valuable it would only be right and proper that the city should have free use of telephones for all its public offices. That would be but a trifle in comparison to the value of the privileges which the company enjoys. Until the council does secure such a concession the number of telephones in the city hall should be reduced to one telephone box in each story. That would be ample for all practical needs. There is no reason why every officer in the building should be given one or two telephones any more than he should have his own telegraph office with an operator at the city’s expense. If wo must lop off expenses here is a good place to begin. Histord Cleveland Plain Dealer.

There is another rebuke which the election in Ohio brings home. In the democratic party there are free traders, as there are in other parties. They are impractical theorists. Mr. Neal, while a very estimable citizen, boasts that he is a free trader. He was nominated for governor. He made tho campaign largely on his free trade doctrines, Thousands on thousands voted for him be- cause ho was the nominee of tho party, and many thousands did not vote for him bocause of his free trade doctrine. Campbell is 4 conservative democrat, a be- liever in tarift for revenue with incidental protection. He ran against McKinley and was defeated by ouly 2L,511; a change of 10,756 votes would have elected him, while Neal with his free trade ideas, was defeated by 80,000 plurality. G 1t is manifest that the state of ‘Ohio is not for free trade and that the democracy of Ohio is not a free trade part; When party leaders iguore the well defined and accepted principles of the party and go off after strange gods it is no wonder that the people rebuke them.
