The general electric ordinance is still in the capacions pocket of the chairman of the Joint committee, and we presume it will stay there so long as Mr. Wiley does mot want action taken upon it. It is to be hoped that these recent rains have not washed the newly macadamized county roads away. A few anchors might become a necessary Investment for the county commissioners. Don't imagine that Omaha is being de- serted by a large portion of its male in- habitants. It is only the exodus of the re- publican cohorts to attend the State Repub- lican league meeting at Lincoln. Omaha wants relief from the extortionate prices demanded by the local electric light- ing company for fits electric lights. It wants relief now, not in years from now. The council has been trifling with this elec- tric lighting matter long enough. Operations on those new buildings already under way are progressing finely, so that Omaha has good prospects of secing several handsome business blocks under roof by autumn. There is always room for more, however, and the season Is not too far ad- vanced for the inauguration of further build- ing projects. 2 Two Brooklyn policemen were last week fined thirty days' pay each for getting drunk while on duty and a number of others were fined ten to fifteen days' pay for various breaches of discipline, the total amounting to about $500. Police discipline in Brooklyn is evidently something different from police discipline in Omaha, Business generally ought to feel the stim- ulating effects of the recent rains upon the orop prospects throughout the western ter- ritory. The break In the drouth that was drying up the corn and small grain came none too soon. With favorable weather and an absence of disastrous mishaps the har- vest may yet be all that it hoped. The Springfield Republican says that Pen- noyer s probably the worst demagogue which the popullst party has put into important office and that that is saying much. But the Republican forgets that Pennoyer was put Into office by the democrats and kept in of- fice by the same party. The populists are responsible for a great many demagogues, but don’t deprive the democrats of the credit which belongs to them. According to Senator Harris the demo- grats do not want to Impose any unnecessary bardship the republican minority in the senate through prolonged sesslons for the purpose of discussing tho tariff, but they want to arrange the daily sittings upon their awn idea of hardship, who have ustomed to keeping awake alghts devising schemes to repay the Sugar trust and other Interests would probably be unaffected by night sessions of the senate Hon.

The republican party has everything to lose and nothing to gain by wabbling on the silver question, Every attempt on the part of republican politiclans and republican papers to placate the so- called friends of silver who demand free and unlimited a ratlo of 16 to 1 by advoeating dutles and free coinage of American sllver weakens the party and gives incentive to flatism. The republic party has stood for honest money a sound convertible on demand, dotlar for for silver or paper. From this position It can not honorably re- code. The advocates of unlimited colnage are either right or wrong. There s no middle ground that It they are right the republican party should down and admit that it has all along been If the populists and free sil- ver democrats wrong then republicans have no right to recede or recant. Every man who understands the A B C of finance Kknows enough to know that greenbackism s back of the entire free colnage craze. If the stamp upon a plece of metal makes its value so does the upon a plece of paper. The doctrine of the apostles of free silver fs identical with the doctrine of the greenbackers, 1f 60 cents worth of silver can be sold for 100 cents by reason of the mint stamp why not make dollars out of dimes or nickels? And why coin any metal money it commercial valie cuts no figure? Tywenty years ago, right after the panic of 1873, the Chicago Inter Ocean innoculatéd thousands of republicans in Hlinols, Indiana, lowa, Kansas and Nebraska with the virus of flatism. Its fallacious and pernicious teachings swept like a prairie fire over these states. The great mass of producers in these states were borrowers and the cry for more greenbacks was echoed from the lakes to the Rocky mountains. Out of the seed which the Inter Ocean had sown to make itself popular grew the greenback party, which, for a time, decimated the republican ranks and reduced its sweeping majorities to pititul pluralities. The Inter Ocean is now seeking popularity at the cxpense of republican in- tegrity by advocating a catchpenny policy on silver. This policy every intelligent man must ad- mit cannot be upheld and defended excepting by a course of duplicity. The talk about forcing European nations into restoring sil- ver to its present ratio is the veriest bun- combe. Silver will never again be restored to the old ratio unless great mountains of solid gold turn up somewhere and glut the world's money markets with the yellow metal. Silver will never again be worth $1.20 an ounce either by discriminating tarifts or by free coinage. Three hundred years ago silver was 11 to 1, but by the be- ginning of the present century it had shrunk 50 per cent by reason of increased volume and cheapened production. Unlimited coinage of our own output would simply mean a silver standard for this coun- try. It is all the treasury can do now to maintain the parity of the currency by re- deeming paper and silver with gold. A sil- ver standard means general destruction of credits and incalculable disaster. Can the republican party place itself In an equivocal position on this vital issue at a time when its prospects for regaining su- premacy as the party of honest money are 80 promising just because free colnage flatism has a hold upon a fragment of its rank and file? Why should the party recant or wabble just to throw a sop to the mis- guided and deluded advocates of depreciated currency or to straighten the records of somo of its foolish leaders who happen to be entangled in the meshes of the silver flatists and imagine they can make capital in the coming campaign by wabbling on this Issue? The true policy for the repub- lican party Is to keep in the middle of the road on silver and adhere strictly to the declaration made by the national convention at Minneapolis. On that line they can meet the populists, the free silver democrats or any other combination. SUGAR IN TIIE HOUSE. According to generally well informed Washington correspondents the fight over the sugar schedule of the tarift bill is far from FREE SILVER. coinage at discriminative an curreney on dollar, gold Issue. on come in the wrong. are stamp ended, It is said there is a very bitter feeling in the house growing out of the scandal connected with the framing of the sugar schedule and the enormous protection afforded the refiners, which is likely to make trouble if an at- tempt Is made to secure concurrence in the senate rates without change. Chairman Wilson of the ways and means committee s represented to be very much dissatisfled with the senate bill in many particulars. and may make a vigorous fight agaist the favor shown to the Sugar trust. Two programs are under consideration. One s for the house to insist on a specific duty of 1 cent per pound, instead of an ad valorem duty, The discriminating duty of one-eighth of a cant additional would, In this case, be re- tained on refined sugar, but it would mark the full limit of the protection afforded the refiners. They would not get the additional protection of 40 or 50 per cent which they would derive from the increased value and consequently higher rate on refined sugar afforded by the ad valorem duty In the sen- ate schedule. The protection to Amerlcan sugar producers would be just as complete as under the senate bill. If the attempt to adopt a reasonable sugar schedule should fail the alternative plan under discussion is to enact no new legislation whatever regarding sugar, thus leaving the existing bounty in force, with free imported raw sugars. Many of the house democrats feel that the odlum of the senate sugar schedule will prove too heavy a load for the democratic Jority to carry, whatever reductions they may accomplish in other schedules. There has some very strong and straight- forward talk regarding this sugar question by prominent tarift reform papers. The New York Evening Post recently sald: ‘“The senate sugar schedule has been recelved by all parties and people with an outburst of Indignation which warrants the hope that the house will kill it, even at the hazard of Killing the whole bill. doubtedly for a few years' to come—not think—but to throw more n lap of the Sugar trust, millions or thirty-four rage altogether Intolerable.” Times, summing up the effects of the senate sugar lule, it it should become a law, says it would divert from a lean public treas- ury to the private coffers of the Sugar trust in one year a great sum of money, possibly $30,000,000, or even from the people by means of a tax originally designed to supply the wants of the government. It would give to the Sugar trust, In the fist year and following years, in addition to the $30,000,000, at least three-quarters of the protective duty granted by the McKinley This kind of a sugar tariff won't do," says the Times, “and the people expect that the democrats of the house will blot it from the bill" Besides the benefit to the refining luterest In the form of duties which the been The government un- revenue from sugar many, oney into whether It be six millions, Is an out- The New York needs some we the more, taken law TH OMAHA DAILY BEE: ' —— > e e e — senate schedule proposes there la the fact ‘ of their sikeness. .

Raw sugar s not to be subject to the new duty of 40 per cent until that date. This would enable the trust to buy and store away raw sugar enough, free of duty, before January 1 next, to supply the domestic demand for a year, and every pound of this sugar would be sold with the duty added, enriching’ the trust, at the expense of the consumers of sugar and to the loss of the national treasury, to an amount varfously estimated at from $35,000,- 000 to $50,000,000. It has been well said that no such naked gift as that was ever put Into any bill for any industry or for any trust by any party in the history of the country. Dut notwithstanding the obvious fact that the senate sugar schedule was framed in the interest of the monopoly, rather than in that of the American sugar producers, who would got but small benefit from it, there Is much reason for confidence In the prediction that it will meet with a formidable opposi- tion In the hou A prominent member of the senate finance committee Is reported to have sald that the conference committee on the part of the house will be given the al- ternative of the senate bill or no bill, and he expressed the opinion that the senate bill, substantially as it goes to conference, will be enacted into law. It is highly prob- able that the result will justify this opinion. STIMULATE THE RETAIL TRADE. Omaha s doing very well as a jobbing center and gaining ground from year to year in wholesale trade and manufactures. This city s, however, way behind other towns of much less population in the retail trafic. Our rotafl trade does not begin to compare with that of many towns in Illinois, Ohlo or Pennsylvania with half our population. The reason for this marked difference 13 to be attributed to many causes. In the first place, Omaha has a comparative light farmers' trade. This Is chiefly due to the fact that the lands in this vieinity are held by specu- lators and remain uncuitivated. We could very readily double the farm population of Douglas and Sarpy counties without crowd- ing. As a matter of fact, there Is room within twenty-five miles of Omaha for sev- eral thousand farmers, fruit growers and truck gardeners. Why has there been noth- ing done to place the vacant lands in this neighborhood under cultivation? Simply be- cause nobody has taken anm active Interest in this subject and our commercial bodies have regarded It as of little or no import- ance. They are baiting for big fish all the time and neglecting an opportunity for en- larging the local jobbing trade by stimulat- ing the retail traffic through suburban set- tlements. If these settlements are encour- aged and bullt up by home capitalists, and it Intercourse between country and town was tacilitated through motor tramways, our re- tail merchants would feel the beneficial ef- fects by a marked increase of sales. Another very serious drawback to the re- tail trade of Omaha is the importation by our well-to-do people of goods of every de- seription from Chicago and New York. Our fashionable soclety people are habitually buy- ing In eastern cities instead of patronizing the merchants of our city. These pur- chases aggregate hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. To all intents and purposes every dollar paid out to eastern merchants for furniture, dress goods, clothing, fewelry and provisions is taken from our Omaha re- tail merchants, and that means out of the home circulation. It goes without saying that it every man and woman in Omaha would make all purchases In Omaha our re- tail trade would go up 25 per cent, and the beneficial effects would be felt in every direc- tion. The idea that better articles can be bought cheaper in the retail stores of Chi- cago and New York than in Omaha Is a de- lusion. Anybody who hss done shopping In eastern retail stores of the first magnitude will bear us out in the assertion that retail prices are no higher in Omaha for the same goods, and In some instances they sell cheaper in Omaha. The only advantage that any one can truthfully claim for the Chicago and New York retail stores Is a larger as- sortment of goods, but that is largely due to the fact that our merchants are not patron- ized as well as they should be by the would-be aristocratic and fashionable people. Why is it that the Denver, Kansas City, Minneapolis and St. Paul retail shops excel those of Omaha in variety and magnitude? Simply because they are patronized more liberally by their howe fashionables. If the wealthy and fashionable classes in Omaha would stop buying abroad and sending their money out of town they would have no difficulty in finding the highest grade wares in Omaha retail shops. thereby not CONGRESSIONAL SICKNESS A score of congressman have had them- EPIDEMIC selves excused from attendance upon the daily sessions of the house of representa- tives on account of sickness. The most natural inference is that some terrible epi- demlc Is making ravages among the ranks of congressmen and that it some precau- tionary measures are not speedily taken the whole lower house of congress will soon be laid low by the mysterious scourge. To the initiated, however, the explanation of this wonderful and unprecedented phenom- enon at once becomes plain. It is simply a result of the newly enforced docking rule that prevents a congressman from drawing his salary for those days which fails to put in an appearance at the sessions of the house except when detained by sick- ness. When a member of congress wishes to absent himself from the house, $13 a day is a great inducement for him to suddenly become sick. Congressman McCall of Massachusetts, who s protesting most vehemently against the injustice of the new rule, called atten- tion in an interview a few days ago to some of the absurdities of this epidemic of con- gressional malaria. In its operation it is very funny. It seems to scent congress- men from afar, no matter where they may be, and to single them out without harming any of their neighbors or companions. A congressman is as likely to be seized by it whether he remains in Washington or re- pairs to his home, whether he is taking an outing for pleasure or is stumping his dis- trict In order to mend his political fences, whether he is undergoing treatment at some health hunting in the midst of malarial Another funny fea- turo of thi rd- upon he resort or is sWamps. new fangled epidemic is, a ing to Congressman McCall, that the man about to be taken by it evidently is gifted with the power of foresight. He can tell in advance just when his sickness is going to arrive and ask to be excused ahead of tme. Moreover, he knows just how long he is to sick, just when his sickness will end and the exact date when will again be able to be in his weat in the house. Members will get up and ask for two weeks leave of absence on account of sickness and then go off in order to carry out the decree of the house. Equally funny to Congress- man McCall's mind is the fact that his col loagues do not betray the slightest 11l effects be Interfere in the loWee with their capacity to attend to thelr owh firivate affairs. One man arose in the bouge the other day and requested to be excused on the ground of “impaired health #nd" fmportant business." without being awirg 'of the inconsistency of his two alleged rensons While this epidemicbt congressional sick- ness is detrimentaj chjefly to the morale of the congressmen affected, its absurdity ought alone to Impress the house with the neces- sity of some actlon that will bring it to an abrupt end. It Is_ claimed by some mem- bers that the docking rule is illegal. It 80, a test case should be made before the epldemic carries a our entire legislature. needed. national THE AMERICAN MERCHAN There is some prospect of the present con- gress taking action on the question of restor- MARINE. Ing the merchant marine, which has been reduced to an insignificant fraction of what it was before the decline of this important interest begun, (hirty-three years ago. In 1860 there was carrled in American vessels 66.5 per cont of the exports and imports of the United States. In 1893 the amount car- ried was only about 12 per cent and it Is probable that for the fiscal year 1894 it will be still While the number of vessels engaged In the coastwise trade and the lake commerce hag rapidly increased during this period the American flag has almost disap- peared from the ocean, and from year to year we have become more and more depend- ent upon forelgn ship owners for the trans- portation of our commodities to foreign mar- Kets. We have paid out an enormous sum of money to these foreigners and the annual drain at present may safely be estimated at $200,000,000, a sum which, if pald to Ameri- less. can ship owners and kept at home, would be a splendid contribution to the general prosperity. Men of all parties agree that the question of restoring our merchant marine is one of the very highest importance. It appeals to all interests, and to none with greater force than to the agricultural producers, whose products constitute nine-tenths or more of the country's exports. It is the farmers of this country who pay nearly the entire cost of shipping our grain and pork and other products of the farm to foreign markets and it is they who are really more concerned than any other class of our people in the restoration of the merchant marine, so that not only these products may be carried under the American flag, but the money paid for their carriage may, in large part, be kept at home to be expended among our own people and thereby increase the home market for the products of agriculture. But while all agree as to the importance of this question, which ought to be considered entirely apart from politics, there is a wide divergence of opinion as to the policy that should be adopted to attain ‘the desired result. A bl has been ‘introduced in congress which provides for admitting to an American registry foreign-builf ships purchased by American citizens, It, has received the ap- proval of the democrats of the house com- mitteo on merchant marine and will prob- ably be approved by amajority of the party in control of tle house. The republican members of the ‘committee have submitted a report hostile to the measure, in which they present some cogent arguments against the proposed policy. The ship-building in- terest of the country has also taken a posi- tion against the bill, on the ground that it would be destructive to that Intorest or else depress the price of labor employed In the ship-building industry to the Ruropean standard. A prominent British ship builder who recently visited the United States said that the only advantage which the foreign- ers had was In the cheaper labor; that so far as the material s concerned he could build ships here at no greater cost than in Great Britain. It is obvious, then, that if the proposed policy should be adopted Amer- ican ship builders, in order to sustain them- selves In competition with the British build- ers, would have only to cut down wages to the British standard. This is the strongest objection to the scheme of free ships. One thing has got to be admitted. Under existing policy the merchant marine has steadily declined and there appears to be no reason to expect any improvement under this policy. A change is therefore manifestly necessary. Whether the proposed measure provides the change that would effect the desired result is a question meriting the most careful consideration, from a practical rather than a political standpoint. Large fires in Dubuque and Kansas Clty have destroyed the plants of several manu- facturing concerns which might possibly en- tertain offers for a removal of their location before rebuilding to renew operations. No establishment of this kind that contemplates a change from one city to another ought to fail to have Omaha's advantages as a manu- facturing center presented to it. Omaha is ready with induceménts for new enter- prises and is able to present a strong claim for them. If there is any possibility of securlng additional manufacturing houses the opportunity should not be lost. This is work which the Commercial club should undertake and in which it should have the encouragement of the entire community. Every Day Swells Disaster.
