The immigrant who decides to locate on a Nebraska farm this year will make no mistake. Spain is having havd Juek with fts cruisers and men-of-war, It can't af- ford to lose many more of them. When people admit that the dervish county ticket might have been worse than it actually is they are not ad- mitting very much, No one suggests that Nebraska bid for one of the big prize fights, The at- utes of this state ave explicit in pro- viding penalties for professional bruis ers.

Congressman Mercer says Alaska is a bleak and dreary country. That is the exact description some of the dis- appointed candidates for nominations to county offices are applying to Omaha and vicinity.

But the men whose resignations would be most acceptable to the people are not of the resigning kind. Gradually the supreme court is plac- Ing authoritative constructions on the irrigation laws and informing people in- terested in irrigation how far they can g0 in appropriating the water of streams upon which others are likewise dependent. It s possible that these decisions may not be conducive to the most rapid progress of Irrigation, but they are worth something to the cause in removing the doubt and uncertaint that has enveloped the irvigation laws. We have just been given another instance of the strenuous efforts so often made to secure the release of professional crooks, adepts In forging and similar swindling, when canght in the toils of the law. The prisoners always have the means to engage the services of good legal talent and exert an influence through people whose rela- tions to them would never be sus- pected. The professional crook seldom glves up his liberty without exhaust- ing every avallable legal technicality Mr. Sol Oppenheimer of Lincoln wants an explanation at the hands of the State Board of Agricultur He bid $250 for the score card privileges and after repeated efforts to get a hearing was notified the privilege had been let to W. M. Flyun at $500. Yet Mr. Op- penhelmer observes the board published a statement that it recelved but $87 for the contract for the speed score card. Upon this showing it certainly does seem that some explanation is due the press and the people, to say nothing of Mr. Oppenhelmer. Judg- wment in the matter will be suspended until such explanation Is given. Next. hat [ like artic | was | WHAT MORE REVENUE MEANS. More revente under the operation of the present tariff law moans incrensed | foreign competition with the products == | of our domestic industries in the home Of this there can be no reas question. As was sald by Sena- Alllson in his recent speech Marshalltown, Ia, if the Gor- man law should produce the essary revenue it will be at the e pense of our own industries, by the in- troduction of fabrics in large quanti- ties produced abroad in competition with our own workers, depriving them of employment and exporting gold to settle adverse balances of trade because |of these importations. If fmportations are sufficiently large, said the lowa senator, under the rates of duty pro- vided, they must be largely of articles coming into necessary competition with produced at home, Statistics of fmports, to which refer- | ence has heretofore been made, show that during the fiscal year ended June 50, 1805, we fmported $77,000,000 more | [ market. | onabl tor at taviff being in operation ten months of last year. With this large incre in importation the receipts from customs increased only $21,000,000, the treasury deficlt for the year amounting to $13,- 000,000, or more than $3,500,000 per month, Manifestly in order to bring the customs receipts up to an amount that will meet this deficit there must be an inerease In fmportations of not less than $150,000,000 a year and it is per- feetly obvious that this cannot be done without a destructive competition with home industries. What is the experi- ence thus It is true that there has heen a decided revival of industries, After the long period of depression stocks of manufactured goods in nearly all lines were greatly depleted through- out the country and there was a de- mand for a new supply. With some remaining protection under the new tariff and the price of labor reduced the industries started up. But already the market is well supplied with goods and there are indications that in some of the industries there will be activity this winter than during the past six months. Reports from some of the in- dustrinl centers say that manufaety ing is beginning to lag, particnlarly in the woolen and cotton industries. Of course this is largely due to the heavy importations already and the fact that more foreign goods are to come in, for trustworthy advices are that the Brit- ish manufacturers have been very busy piling up goods for the Amerfean mar- ket. It is probable that in the rer ing montlis of the current fi receipts from customs will jimproy though it Is by no means certain that they will so improve as to prevent monthly deficits, but in any event our own industrial interests must inevi- tably suffer from the improvement. The present tariff will not produce the necessary revenue except at the ex- pense of American industries and American labor. The Fifty-fourth congress is expected to make provision for more revenue, so that the receipts of the government shall at least equal the expenditures. How shall this be done, by incr internal taxes or by such change the tariff as will produce the ¢ result? nator Allison st revenues must be raised, if at all, composing of differences. I haps a majority of republicans in coi gress will take this view, but will the administration? Will Mr. Cleveland assent to any proposition for a moditic tion of the tariff on the lines of prote tion? And if he does not, will the publicans be under any obligation to provide more revenue in order that a policy may be maintained which is inimical to the industries and libor of this country? Will not be justi- fied in refusing to do anything not con- Yistent with republic se | some THAT VE ISSTON. It is not improbable that the concoes- ston made by the government of Ven- ezuela to a syndicate of American cap- italists, involving several million acres within the territory in dispute between Great Britain and Venezuela, may have an influence in drawing the United States into the controveisy between those countries. It is reported that a meeting of the syndieate, with which rumor connects the names of a number of prominent men, will be held in New York today to consider steps for taking possession of the tervitory and if such a meeting is held the result of it will command international interest. The concession s said to be exceedingly nable, embracing some of the finest timber and mineral lands on the South American continent. The syndicate is understood to have invested several millions of doll: in mining and other machinery to be used in developing the territory, and it i umed that large an investment would not have been made had not assurance been glven from some hLigh authority that the eapitalists would be protected in thelr property. However this may be, trustworthy Washington advices say that the ad- ministration Is very greatly interested in the Venezuelan boundary dispute and is firm in the conviction that Great Britain’s claims are in part unjust. It appears that Seeretary Olney has given the matter most thorough investigation and before the death of his predecessor submitted a report on it which decided the position of the administration against the British claims. The presi- dent Is said to have been fully con- vineed that the Venczuelan position is 50 v which the line of demark- ation between British Guiana and Ven- ezuela was established, and that the contention of Great Britain, which has been a steadily 1di one, has been dictated solely by a desire to grab territory for the purpose of ¢ tending British trade and British do- minion. If this correctly states the at- titude of the administration, and there seems to be no reason to doubt that it does, it Is to be expected that Mr, Cleveland will wake a strong presenta tion of the matter in his mes: to congress, in which case a promulgation anew of the Monroe doctrine may be looked for. If the Veunezuelan government was treaty 1 ze | sight sed upon a correct interpretation of | prompted to make the concession of disputed territory to Ameriean eapital- | 1sts a8 a means of Involving this coun- fry in the controversy it may realize its desire, but If we become involved {1t will not he beeanse of this conces- }.4.»", the position of the administration | Daving been taken without reference | to it, If not, ndeed, before the conces | sfon was made. At any rate the matter seems to be in o falr way to assume commanding and possibly grave inter- | national importanee, for it is not to be supposed that Great Britain will quictly surrender o claim which it has insisted | upon for yea THE NON-PARTISAN JUDICIARY, The Cltizens' Reform league has for- mally endorsed the non-partisan judi- clary through its convention composed of representative citizens of all parties. In endorsing the principle of the non- partisan Judiclary it has also kept in the touchstones of honesty and competency, which should be appiied to every man who aspires to public office. Ty 1 candidates for the distriet beneh which the citizens' convention s placed in nomination will each and all stand this test. They arve known to be men of unimpeachable integrity, unsullied rveputation and eminent fit- ness for judicial honors. Five of the soven candidates—Judges Hopewell, Wakeley, Keysor, Ferguson and Duflie have served upon the bench of this dis- trict for years with the approbation of the public and the attorneys who have practiced before them. ‘They have maintained the dignity of the judiciary and enjoy universal confidence and re- speet. Messes, Magney and Redick have ranked high in their profession and are conceded to possess the quali- ties that will make them impartial and efficient judge: They both bear un- Dlemished reputations and give promise of proving worthy of the responsible positions for which they have been nominated, The non-partisan judicial ticket will therefore commend itself to popular support, not-merely because it em- phasizes the true principle that should wern the selection of a judiciary, but also because of the high standing of the candidates chosen to represent it in the impending campaizn. OR THE POOL KILLER. Whenever a democratic councilman proposes anything in the ety council the republican councilmen, with a sin- gle exception, scem to think it their duty to oppose it, right or wrong. In pursuing this pernicious policy the re- publican councilmen place themselves and their party constantly in about the same position that is occupied by the idiotic editor of the paper whose sole mission is to oppose everything which he Bee advoeates. By taking advantage of the dog-in-the- manger course which the republi majority under the leadership of bood- lers and jobhers is regularly pursuing the democratic minority has succeeded In creating the fmpression that repub- licanism stands for defaleation, rascal- taxeating, and the whitewashing Aerelict officials, Almost every eting of the present council has fur- nished flagrant examples of sueh parti- san stupidity. The disgraceful pe formance of the republican council ma- jority in upholding Meat I'rank in spite of the well k WORK o of n ‘harge of embezzlement from the eity o8 all comprehension. Why should any man in the council, republican or democrat, stand up for Why should the governing majority vote down a resolution to withhold the pay of a man charged with defranding the city out of hun- dreds of dollars just becanse a demo- erat introduces it? Why did not some vepublican introduce the resolution? Where is there anything to be gained for the republican party by the con nivance of republican officials — with thievery? Is it not about time for the fool killer to make another round and his tracks in the council cham rogues? leave ber? NOT SATISFACTORY. There is nothing satisfactory - in the last statement of (he publie debt, which hows nothing but increase in the obli itions of the government and (he in- terest-burden upen the people. True the receipts of the treasury last month appear to have somewhat exceeded the expenditures, but there ix reason to he lieve the statement was manipulated, and at any rate the gain Is not greatly reassuring, since there is promise that the present month will show a consid crable deficit. The simple fact is that however much the administration may seels to bolster up the present tariff law as a revenue measure the practical vesults are agni it. An of receipts over expenditures for a_couple of months out of a year, granting the stateme such to be honest, will not commend the democratic tariff pol- iey to practical men who look at the matter from a business standpoint, The law is a failure as a revenne measure and it will continue to be unless im- portations ara enormously increased, with the inevitable effect of seriously injuring home industries. We cannot hav vy revenne under the exist- ing tariff except at the expense of our own industrial activity and progress, a fact that is made more fmpressive by every financial statement that comes from the national treasury. The gov- ernment has a sufficient eash balance | to meet its obligations for some time if there is no raid on the gold reserve, but no one can say with any degree of certainty wh happen in the two months before the meeting of congress. There will be opportunity in that time to force another sale of bonds unle: exports should increase to an unex- veeted extent. st widely recognized authority on the subject predicts that the Eur n sugar product this year will be 1,200,000 tons short of the average, If this Is true, or even the approximate truth, it means that American sugar producers will have a freer field in the howe market. The American sugar Dheet crop Is larger this year than ever before, so that the foreign sugar will s of neces s The me not be greafly missed. When beet culture athrfs its legitimate propor- tions therp, will be no necessity for im- porting Burepean sugar at all and that time can Hot be very far off.

If this is true Senator Davis begins his race for the presidency heavily handicapped.

Chicago Tribune, It Is reported from Washington that the treasury officials are finding it harder to en- force a stringent policy regarding valuations of imports than was anticipated at the out- set. In some cases there is an almost com- plete lack of agreement among experts as to ictual values, and fears are expressed that the importers are standing together in favor of low vuluations. The result is to make tenetal apprakers averse to placing their valuations hlgher than the penalty limit But this wag to be expected. The inevitable tendency of “ad valorem duties is to incite to fraud by understating the values of the g00ds on which duties are to be paid. It is {rue that pritectionist tariffs have contained provisions for ad valorem duties, but in many cases these were combined with specific duties 50 as to protect the revenue. It was claimed that the demceratic tariff bill passed under the present administration would enable peo- ple to know: exactly what duties they were paying, but notoriously it was expected the result would be ‘gross undervaluations, and some democrats were candid enough to make admissions to that effect. The event proves they were not inistaken. A Pr Whenever stité po'itics ace discussed the question, “Will Tom Majors really be a can- didate for gbvernbr again?” is pretty sure,to be asked. 1*lave heard of a great many things Mr. Majors is reported to have said in answer to this query; but T have yet to heat that he made ‘a definite, positive, unequivocal statement that he will not be 2 andidate. Mr. Majors, whatever eclse may be sald of him, Is faiflv endowed with in- | telligence, and it is difficult to credit him with the ambition he is still suppcsed to en- | tortain. It is doubtful if there is any further considerable poiitical honor in store for Mr. ajors. His most sanguine admirers cannot ¢ how he could possibly be nominated for governor again or elected. I doubt if Walt Secley thinks it would be profitable for him o again be a candidate, Mr. Majors has had political opportunities such as come to but few men. He has in him many clements of trength and poularity. But he has for years followed a course mo man can pursue and in the respect of the public. Hhe has brought diseredit upon himself and the re- publican party by his vite connections and assoclations, and made it Impossible for him 0 receive the tribute which certain of his personal qualities draw forth. Mr. Majors' feally to the corporations and the peculiar nature of many of his public acts leave much be answer:d for, and establish the cer- v and permanency of the dezuetude into \ he has fallen. It would be a grave istake to disturb the damp corridors of olitical death to extract once more and re- habilitate in the garments of the living this ghost of a promising past—this apparition orced intc the tomb by his own errors and by Walt Seeley and the like. Nothing would be gained by such an act. The apparition would be projected back Into the haunts of + with a force and rapidity decidedly 1 to the firal sleey, and the party be benefited by the pulchral visitation.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Roal SATOLLI CELEBRATES MASS Most Brilliant Ceremony Ever Witnessed in the United States, CATHOLIC DIGNITARIES OUT IN FORCE aristic Convens nt the Natlonal Capital Markea Tmposing Religions Rites m Seen in This Country. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—The Bucharistic convention of the Catholic church was opened here today with pontifical high mass at St. Patrick’s church, Mgr. Satolli being the cele- brant, and Cardinal Gibbons and many arch- bishops and bishops assisting. The event one of the most memorable in the history of the church, as, with three excep- tions, all the dignitaries and diocesan heads of the church in America participated. The church recently has been elaborately frescoed and decorated and this was its first use since completion. Hundreds of lighted waxen tapers illuminated the marble altar. To the right a throne and canopy of rich purple silk was erected for the apostolic delegate. On the left a throne and canopy tlet was ocenpied by the cardinal. ed about the altar and within the 1 rail were seventeen archbishops and bishops, including Archbishops Corrigan of New York, Willlams of Boston, Elder of Cincinnati, Ryan of Philadelphia, Janssen of New Orleans, Kain of St. Louis and Ireland of St. Paul, and Bishops Maes, Foley, Sul livan, Horstman, Shanley and others, The archibishops and bishops wore their purple robes and berratas, which, with the erimson robes and throne of the cardinal on the left aud the darker purple of the delegates sur- rounding on the right, made a most imposing spectacle, In front of the altar, and extending far back in the body of the church sat the dele- gates to the congress, mainly priests, in white linen robes, They filled both sides of the middle aisles of pews. Along the side cs were seated seminarians and divinity students in blick robes. The rear of the church gave scant accommodation to the at crowd of spectators who sought ad- mission, An orchestra of many stringed instruments played a soft obligato as Mgr. Satolll pontifi- cated. At the offertory he removed the czlotte from his head and proceeded to the altar with the high white mitre, richly em- bossed in gold, and with white siiken robes also embroidered with gold. His assist- ants were Very Rev. F. A. Murray, presi- dent of Mount St. Mary's seminary, Cinein- natl; Very Rev. Willlam McKinney, vicar general, Jacksonville, Fla.; Very Rev. S. Fox, viear general, Green Bay, Wis.; Rev. D. J. McMahon, rector St. Thomas' church, New York; Rey. Cestelli, professor St. Paul's seminary, St. Paul, Minn, The sermon was preached by Bishop Kean of the Catholic university, and was an elo- quent exposition of the divine institution of the Holy Eucharist. The businss sessions began at the Catholic university at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. Cardinal Gibhons presided and Mgr. Satolli made the opening address. The sessions will continue for three days. There are elg papers to be read, of interest mainly to the clergy, as they are on doctrinal subjects, NOT CONFISCA WILL nMs. Acquitted Filibusters Entitled to the Return of Their Ammunition. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—The attention of Attorney General Harmon was called to a dispatch from Madrid quoting Minister Dupuy de Lome to the effect that the United States had decided to confiscate arms and ammuni- tion found upon vessels detained by the United States authorities and which are sup- posed to be engaged or about to engage in flibustering expeditions to Cuba. Attorney General Harmon stated that there had been mo change in the attitude of the administration toward the Cuban insurgents. Arms and munitions of war alleged to be for the use of the insurgents have been cap- tured by United States officlals and the subject was brought to the attention of the judicial authorities by United States officers. The decisions of the courts in these cases were as binding upon the government as upon those upder arrest. Ac- quittal of alleged filibusters 'in criminal pro- ceedings carried with it the surrender of prop- z2d _with them. In some cases thi y had not been called for, and still remained in the custody of the United For the Protection of Mail Carriers. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—Some days ago Judge Cole of the supreme court of the Dis- trict of Columbia rendered a decision in which he held that a mail carrier had no lien for compensation due him upon any money due by the United States to a con- tractor or subcontractor for services per- formed on aoy route other than his own Judge Reeves, the solicitor of the treasury, however, takes a contrary view of the case, and In a letter to United States Attorney Birney today recommends that an appeal be taken to the United States court of appeals Judge Reaves holds that it was the intention of congress in passing the act of May 4, 1892, to protect the carrier by giving him a lien on the general earnings of the con- tractor. It Judge Cole's decision is per- mitted to stand it will reverse the practice of the Postoffice department ever since the act was passed. May Take Of the Panamn Line. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—Thomas O'Hara, United States consul at Greytown, reports to the State department that the belief prevails in Bluefields that the Southern Pacific Rail- way company is about to discontinue fts steamer line (the Morgan line) between New Orleans and Bluefields owing to the low price of bananas and the difficulty of competing with Norwegian vessels manned by poorly paid sallors.
