In these ways the United States 1s more or less bandicapped, just A8 it 18 In regard to the trade with Bouth America and will be In the busi- ness with the Orient unless American steamship lines are established to Chi- nese and Japanese ports. There 18 no doubt that there s a great field in Bouth Africa for American man- ufactures if the proper effort shall be made to cultivate §t, but the present drawback to our taking the best advan- tage of it is In the fact that we must depend upon foreign transportation in- terests to deliver our goods to those forelgn markets. This Is a condition ‘which ought to command the earnest at- tention of our manufacturers and of all who are interested in the extemsion of our foreign trade. The South African market promises to be for a long time one of the most profitable in the world and American enterprise should not fafl to take advantage of It. Already there is an active demand there for the ma- chinery which this country can supply better than any other and it is a fleld in which there are almost unlimited possibilities. Competitionr for this great market will be active and the chief @isadvantage of the American manu- facturer and merchant is the fact that he must rely for transportation upon foreign ship owners. ANOTHER APOLOGY IN ORDER. In bis insulting letter to the Omaha union of plambers, gas and steam fit- ters, Goveror Bavage Induiges In the following slanderous comment: 1 have remaon to and do belleve that the better elemeny of organized labor does not approve of action, just as I haye reason o and do that the communication torwarded me inspired not by your or- sanization but by the editor of The Bee, whose pet minions and whase locensed privileges have at last been brought face to face with law and Justioe: Taken in connection ‘with the asser- tion made In the same fetter “that an effort was made to obtain the coveted positions on the commission with large sums of money,” the matural inference to be drawn from the govergor's screed is that the editor of The Bee was in some manner the beneficiary of corrup- tion and the reciplent of licensed valu- able privileges through former police commissions. --This, however, is not the first time that Kara P. Savage bas sought to besmirch the editor of this paper through slanderous reports and has disgraced his office by resorting to base calumny. 4 Last winter ‘he gave it out to his in- timates that he was preparing to ex- plode a bombshell that would sllence The Bee forever in regard to the Bart- ley schndal. Thereupon the following correspondenge took place: OMAHA, March 16, 1902.—Hon. Ezra P. you claim to Bave in your possession & promisscry mote, or notes, due bills or —— PANAMA CANAL PROBLEMS. The question of the selection of an isthmian canal route has not yet been decided. The general judgment is that the Panama will be the route selected and there is no doubt that public opinion is very largely in favor of this. Yet the advocates of the other route appear not to have absolutely abandoned hope that it may ultimately be selected, rely- ing upon complications, legal or other- wise, to change sentiment in favor of the Nicaragua project. There is no doubt that there are among our public men many who still most confidently believe that the Panama route is abso- lutely impracticable and would place the United States at a disadvantage both strategically and commercially. Members of congress who favored the Nicaragua route are still insistent that they are right and are hoping that their view will be adopted, either by the ad- ministration or by congress. There has been nothing developed by whick it can be confidently asserted which route will be selected. The gov- ernment has yet to ascertain whether 1t can get an unquestionable title to the property and franchises of the new Panama OCanal company and also ‘whether it can secure from the govern- ment of Colombia such concessions as are required by the act of congress. Rep- resentatives of the government are now in France to learn what is necessary to enable this government to secure an absolute title and ths Colomblan gov- emment, worried though it is with do- mestic revolution, is considering the terms upon which it shall make the re- quired concessions to the United States. Thus there. are problems presented the solution of which 18 by no means simple. 8o far as the first of these is con- con- [cerned—that is, the French company's requirements—there 1s probably no doubt that & perfectly satisfactory set- tlement can be made. There has been nothing to indicate that this cannot be done. With regard to the concessions required from Oolombia, however, less confidence can be felt.

If Columbus won fame by discover- ing a mew continent that was uot needed particularly at the time of his explora- - | tions, why should not the talented house- for §29,18¢ per mile, and whose stock, owned by the Southern Pacific company, bas an unknown but a very large value in addition, was asseessed at $15.000 a mile. What it is worth is not known except to the experts in the office of the SBouthern Pocific com- pany, but that it and all other properties | of that company are worth a great deal of money is shown by the rise in the stock of that company from about $33 per share two or three yeurs ago, to §68.50, at which tions on the rompanies which it swallowed. ‘The octopus Itself is not taxed at all. 1If the Southe'n Pacific of California was as- sessed o farm and city real estate is as- sessed, J. would probably pay on about $40,- 000 le. + Nov,, this represents & condition and not & treory.

The amount which the corporation should pay In taxes but does not goes to increase the value of the wat- ered stcek and the people put thelr hands in thelr pockets and make up the deficit. ‘Why do not the people call these “‘equal- Azere™ to account?

On Thursday of last week the Chlcago, Rock Isiand & Pacific Raflroad company announced its transformation first into the Chicago, Rock Islana & Pacific Railway Company of lowa and next into the Rock Island Company of New Jersey. For each $100 share of the present §75,000,000 common stock the mew company will deliver $100 in it 4 per cent gold bonds of 2002, $75 in the preferred stook Jersoy—in other words, a gift outright of $75,000,000 common and $56,000,000 pre- ferred stock to the shareholders of the ex- isting combany. The present non-cumula- tive common stock, now paylug § per cent, would be replaced by a bond paying 4 and & preferred stock which may pay 4, not to meéntion the new common stock. The provisions of the proposal which have ex- cited just hostility are: (1) The inflation or watering of oapital to three times the present amount without any additional ‘value contributed, or, to put it another way, the loading of the company with an emor- mous debt without any return assets; (2) the non-voting power of the common stock, the directors having real power being voted for only by the preferred stock; (3) the denial to any stockholder of the right to examine thie books of the com- peny, except with a director's permit; (4) e e ————————— the permission {6 the direstors to buy and sell the stock of the company for the com- pany. The result of this scheme s that, secording to the constitution of the new Rock Island board, the men owning & ma- Jority hiterest in the preferred stock receive absolute control of this great property. The new preferred stock represents, if mot pure water, eertainly not hore than a third in. terest fu the property, yet control of any- thing mors than & balf of this third gives its possessors almost limitless power over the whole. No such bragen scheme to cen- tralize rallway management in the hands of minority .interests has beem proposed for many years, and the plam Is meeting with the condemnation of conservative financlers. The consuming public as well as the investing public is naturally aroused, since one effect of,the tremendous stock and bond Inflation would be to conceal the magnitude of future dividends and make difficult public control of rates. Fortu- nately, Governor Cummines of Iowa is alive to this slde of the situation, and has prom- ised to oppose the consummation of the scheme by all the power at his command. Taking it all in all, the chief evil will probably be found to be n much In the perilous inflation proposed as in the dangerous precedent set to other corpora- tiona, WHITHER HAS IT FLEDY Mywterious Disappearance of Last Year's Belgian Hare. New York Sun. ‘What In the name of humanity has be- come of that wonderfully interesting Ifttle chap, possessed of more virtues to the square inch than all the rest of the animal kingdom combined, the Belgian hare? Less the year ago he was heralded far and wide as the benmefactor of the universe. Statesmen knelt at his shrin considered his need: ssocial ganized bearing his name; banquets and food shows were held in his honor; epi- cures smacked their lips at the thought of him; sportsmen delighted to sing his praises; acres of valuable land were set apart for his benefit, and fortunes awaited all who were shrewd enough to start & Bel- glan hare farm. ‘We were told that want or hard times mever could overtake us while Belgian hares were in our midst and their com- rades were in our orchards. Their flesh ‘wag better than turkey; th fur beat seal and otter, and in disposition they were tho embodiment of all that was gentle and lovely. To breed and cultivate these hares ‘was the easiest thing out. They would eat uncomplainingly whatever they could. get, and two hares were all that & man needed to start with, in order to become independ- ently rich in a very short time. Proof of this was given in an authentic statement printed about two years ago in the Argo- naut of San Francisco. There it was shown, in estimating the hares’ ayerage rate of in- crease, that one pair of the animals would be represented at the ond of a year by twantv.twn, and that in five vears. if the in- crease went on proportionately, the de- scendants would number 3,809,323, ‘What, we ask, has happened to the Bel- glar hare family? Where are all its his- torians and advance agents? Where are its 10,000,900 or more representatives who were reported by the hares’' census taker to be living last year in the United States, and what bave they done for posterity? Where are the thousands tons of canned hare ‘supposed to have been “put up” in Arizona and other states of .the southwest? And What about the multitude.of people who, having tasted hare meat, swore never to ‘| forsake 1t? How are their appetites being appeased? These are momentous questions at the present time, when meat is dear and the landlord is inexorable. Under other condi- tlons people might be feasting to the limit on Belgian hare baked or brolled or roasted, or perved in the form of soup or fricassee, instead of having to put up, day sfter day, with the commonplace fare of eggs and pancakes. What right, moral or otherwise, bave those who would liberate mankind from the tyranny of the ‘“‘beef trust” to neglect & matter of such importance? PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE.

Well, Thompeon is & lawyer. Is a lawyer any better than & banker? Emerson Enterprise: “Our man Mickey" is a good, honest farmer and business man and is entirely satisfactory to the people of the state. It is only in his favor that he is liked by the railroads. Holdrege Cltizen: For integrity and adil- ity J. H. Mickey is the man. As governor he will gsee that Nebraska Institutions are ran properly. No votes cast for our re- publican. nominee ‘for governor will be ‘wasted.

It will be & great surprise to this amiable and popular gentleman tolearn that he is guilty of pretty near every orime in the catalogue. Ponca Journal: The fusion papers found fault with Dietrich, Fepublican candidate for governor two years ago, because he drank béer. Now they are finding fault ‘with J. H.

It's tmposaible to paper dnyway, 8o there Norfolk News: The the fusion campaign does mot appear to be rolling away to any great extent as the campaign, state and congressional, advances, and it would appear neéd to 4o to win tention of the voters until the votes are counted.

O'Nelll Frontier: The fusion state com- mittes 1s making arrangements for Bryan to take the stump several weeks in Ne- braska to try to elect & democrat for gov- ernor. When the pops had the candidate for governor Bryan could spend only » few days .in Nebraska during each but now that the finishing touches are to ever, it will do them but little if any good. Orete Vidette-Herald: The democratlc They do not deny that he in Polk county and performed the work of & farmer up to the time he was elected county treasurer. They do mot even deny 1s the owner of & well donducted stock farm. ‘They do insist that because he is & success- ful banker he has no just claims to be called & farmes, and “point with pride” to fact that their candidate s now and always bas been s “lawyer." Friend Telegraph: The people of Friend this week were given the opportunity to become acquainted with the republican can- didate for governor, Hon. J. H. Mickey. Never within the history of this state bas the party placed in nomination s candidate who came as Dear from the ranks of the common people as does Hon. J. H. Mickey. Never has the time arrived when the people have been so cordially favited to examine his record as a citizen residing upon a homestead procured from the gov- date coming from the mon people, with brain sufficlent and fu- tegrity sufficient to become president of the United States if the people saw fit to thus elevate him. City Journal: Because J. H. Mickey has been a successful farmer—be- cause he has pros, cause he has been s success his opponents would make appear as what they please to call a farmer who farms -the farmer. Is there any evidence to the effect that Mr. Mickey ever “farmed” They have not dared to assert by snything that he possesses ay. He has lved years.

If #o, hundreds of our very best citisens are ::-m-nh-m.-umxmumm re. Central City Nompareil: The fusien press exhibits a fondness for referring to Mr. Mickey as “Banker” Mickey, He banker, but it is hard to understand wi Anyone with as much bralns as & microbe— and some fusion editors are even that well eupplied with gray matter—ocan ses any- thing disgraceful in the fact. Mr, Mickey started out as & farmer, but because he wade a sucoess as & farmer and was to invest in bank stook is mothing to his discredit In the sstimation of ordinary mortals. But he is still & farmer and lives on a farm, and farms a farm, and ki - head of cabbage from a haystack, which in more than can be sald of some of the flan- nel-mouthed political “‘farmers” who are trying to work the played-out chestnut of passing as the friend of the tiller of the soll and endeavoring to stir up prejudics againet those engaged in banking or other business occupations. Kearney Star of the Bmpire: Of courss Nebraska's next governor will be a ropub- lican. He has besn nominated, and his mame is J. H. Mickey, who will be eleoted by & handsome majority. This journal ts independent and wears the brass collar of Ro person or political party. And, like our friend Whedon's Kearney Democrat, is “without a mussle.” Wher the Central Btar of Empire came out squarely for Gov- ernor Poyuter, a fusion candidate, thers was good reason therefor, and the Ne- braska editors saw “stars” for onoe if mo one else dld. In 1902 comes another meteoric display of Stars in comnection with the first maguitude star—Mickey. Poynter was elected then as we sald he would be; now Mr. Mickey is to be the man, he being selected above other can- didates becsuse of his purity as a man and past falthful publio servics for his country in city, county, state and nation, and he will have the support, too, of many people prominent in other political parties, whether populist, democrat, fusion, social- ist or prohibitionist, — LIGHT REMARKS, Philadelphia Preas: Hopley—There seemed hh{m‘xol“flnl“ywrl‘l‘“l “-ma-)mum—!agnh‘-l— H ded m.
