THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: BATURDAY, JU |CHICACO HURT AND CRYING *zmfldfl on Live Btoo't Rates is Prompted 1 Only by Jealousy. 'DISCRIIINATION LIES AGAINST OMAHA My River Points Are Able, How- to Stand Thelr Ground by Reason of Na Ad tages Over Chioago. A great deal of comment and discussion s been caused in local business and rail- road circles by the complaint, before the | Interstate Commerce commission, of the Chicago Live Stock exchange that there is discrimination in live stock rates against Chicago and in favor of Omaha and other Missourt river packing points. One of the prominent members of the froight bureau of the Commercial club, who I8 well posted on rates, after de- claring the complaint of discrimination absurd, satd: “It is not of the rate itself that Chicago is complaining, for as a matter of fact it can be shown that the present eastbound rates, of which com- plaint is made, discriminate against Omaha and Missourt river points, but it is because Chicago s losing ground in the west, and will continue to lose ground in the packing business. “The rates from points in Nebraska, or other western points, on live stock and packing house products, to the Atlantic seaboard by way of Omaha are, in fact, higher ' than rates from the same points o the seaboard by way of Chicago, 8o that the discrimination is, as stated, really @guinst Missouri river points. But this dis- advantago is overcome, and will continue to be overcome, on account of other ad- vantages enjoyed by the western packing ocenters as against Chicago. One of these advantages is proximity to the source of supply of the raw materinl, and it was this closeness to the great corn belt, which produces the hogs, and to the ranges and grass lands, which produce the cattle and sheep, which caused the location of packing houses in Omaha, which has caused them to continue to grow and which has made Omaha a key polnt in the situ- ation. Another Great Advantage. ““The second great physical advantage of Omaha and the Missouri river points as compared with Chicago is the nearness to and control of the great western trade clear to the Pacific coast, and the export trade from it; of the also great domestic southern and southwestern trade, and of the export trade through Galveston and the gulf ports. But for these natyral physical ad- /vantages Omaha and the other Missourl river points could not compete with Chi- cago—that Is, unless the discriminations in favor of the big city were removed, It you will take the rate on 1,000,000 pounds of hogs from Ashland, Neb., for ex- ample, to Omaha and the. rate on packing house products from Omaha to Chicago, you will see at once the difference in favor of the latter eity; or take the rate on 1,000,- 000 pounds of hogs from Ashland to Omaha and the rate on the packing house products from Omaha to the Atlantic seaboard and compare it with the rate on the same hogs from Ashland to Chicago and on the prod- ucts from Chicago to the eastern seaboard, and you will see where the discrimination in favor of Chicago gomes in, for without regard to where the hogs are killed the rate frcm the Initial point, that is, the sta- tion at the farm, to the market should be equalized. Business Comes Naturally. “It 18 only natural and just for the west- ®rn packing centers to slaughter the cattle, sheep and hogs from the transmississippl territory, rind they are 'able to- do so. Omaha is'able to take care of the liv# stock from Nebraska, and fts tributary territory outside the state and it 15 simply carrylng out good and correct business principles for it to come here. So far as the rallroads are concerned they would rather handle packing house produets than live stock from the Missour! river to Chicago; It 1s in every way a cleaner business. In shipping live stock from the Missourl river to Chicago there must be stops for watering, and if there are delays the roads may have to pay damages for dead animals. The shrinkage on the way s also an important item. Then only 20,00 pounds of hogs, for example, can be hauled in a car, while 40,000 pounds of pack- ing house products goes in a car. “Chicago is hurt and is crying for help, that ig all there is to the complaint of dis- cFmination. - And unless It can induce the lroads to haul live stock from the Mis- Wpurl river to its packing houses for noth- LY or at such a very low rate that they wolild lose money, it will continue to be hurt so far as getting live stock from the western farms and ranges Is conceined.” Ferrin Stock Company mt the Boyd. The regular mid-week change of bill ‘by | the Ferrls Summer Stock company at the Boyd theater was postponed one night by n of the wonderfully successful run “Graustark,” but was put on last night, Wite for Wite," a comedy drama based on life in the south before the war. It found all the members of the regular com- pany working together again, and wad given with the snap that has so far marked) the work of this organization. Mr. Siddons has a character cast in herolc lines, but one tkat varies in some particulars from the ordinary, and gives it the life the peo- ple have learned to expect from him. Miss Pavey, too, has a character that suits her very well, and her work was well ap- plauded. Cecll Owen, as George, the slave, who is the marplot of the plece, did his work so consclentiously as to earn the condemnatory tribute of two or three vig- orous rounds of hisses. He makes the vil- lain quite enough to sult the people. Miss Carmontelle, as Martha, showed another phase of the delightful versatllity and adaptability which has marked her as one of the most useful of utility women. The plece 1s carefully and appropriately set and is presented with much fidelity to detall It will be given again this afternoon and evening.

He added: The closer our acquaintance becomes the more we are sure te discover how wear our paths lie 1o each other, how readily we may follow them together and low much we have each to gain by the main tenance of harmony In the future, as well as in the present and in the past. America wishes this, sir, with all sin- cerity. There are hundreds of thousands of people of German birth or German ~x- traction lving In the United States who look back from their new home with feel- Ings of tender affection toward their father- land They are amon the best of izens.

Our answer is— They are easier and more pleasant to take, more gentle and mild in thelr action and more reliable, as they can always be de- pended upon. Then they cleanse and invig- orate the stomach and leave the bowels in a natural condition, while pills are more harsh in effect and their use is often fol- lowed by constipation.

It is still hoped that the United States will appreciate the Russian view of the case and content itself with the kindly expressions of sympathy which it already has offered for the affair at Kishineff.

In returning the petition to Mr. Riddle the officlals will assure him that Russia cherishes no il will toward the United States, and the action It takes with respect to the matter is necessary in view of Russla's unalterable plan of not Interfer- ing in the internal affairs of other countries and Insisting on similar treatment for itself.
