THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, What the Populists Oan Do. Thers 1s no party whose rank and file is more earnestly desirous of reform in poll- than the people’'s independent party.

This is the most sensible thing that the Newman Grove Reporter has pro- duced In a long time. It goes with- out saying that if the populists were sincerely bent on accomplishing the reforms they profess and supporting the best candMates for office without insisting upon them embracing the populist faith they would not be found fnvariably hitched to the democratic The fact fs that ‘the populist name and populist organization vives in Nebraska alone of all the states as a blind for democratic double dealing. The theft of the populist party by the democratic presidential electors last year gave Bryan from 10,000 to 15,000 votes which belonge! to Tom Watson, and which Bryan could not have gotten except under false pretenses, and kept Nebraska's electoral votes in the ademocratic col- umn. The populists in Nebraska have been traded off and sold out by their seem |alleged leaders for the consideration |of a few appointive offices and the hope of sharing more political pie keeps them jumping every time the democratic wire pullers give the sig- nal. Some day the remaining rank ‘nnd file of the populists, who are still sincerely desirous of reform in poli- tics, will refuse to be delivered, and | will repudiate the tricksters who have | been trading on them Our Growing Insular Commerce. The trade of the United States with its non-contiguous territory is increas- ing at a rapld rate and promises soon to be a most important item. It has moe than trebled in the last ten years, being $160,000,000 for the last fiscal year against $50,000,000 in 1898. Of all the outlying territory Porto Rico leads by a large margin, taking $24,000,000 of American mer- chandise and sending to this country $26,000,000 worth, largely sugar and tobacco. Hawaii comes next with $17,600,000 of American purchases and shipments of $40,000,000. Alaska purchased $16,000,08) wort(fi and sent $13,000,000 exclusive of gold, which amounted to $18,500,000. The Philippine islands as yet have not been as extensive purchasers of Amer- ican goods as their population would indicate they might be, and imports from there are not large except hemp. The trade with thuse islands has grown rapidly during the last two years and promises soon to be a ma- terial factor in both the export and import trade, particularly with the passage of the new tariff bill, which favors sugar and tobacco from that source. Taken altogether the trade of the home country with its outlying pos- sessions I8 as good as could be ex- pected, though in the earlier years its growth was discouragingly slow. This was not to be wondered at in Porto Rico and the Philippines. Their people spoke a different language and for centuries had been accustomed to using Spanish and other European goods, and the Philippines were re- mote and disturbed politically. With comparative political qulet and the opportunity for industrial develop- ment, it is confidently predicted by those best posted that commerce in the islands will increase and the United States will secure a much larger per cent of the total. There is no logical reason why & country of such great natural resources should not become prosperous with stable conditions, and thls country certainly has the advantage in the contest for its outside trade. New Naturalization Treaties. Secretary of State Knox has under- taken to negotial naturalization treaties with Fraoce, Russia, Italy and Turkey, with which we now have no such agreements. Naturalization has always been a troublesome problem and at one time threatened to precipi- tate us into war with Austria. Euro- pean nations were slow to recognize the right ef expatriation and Turkey still holds that once a Turk, always a Turk. Other countries, notably France, Italy and Russia, indirectly recognize the right of expatriation, but local laws governing certain classes, notably the Jews in Russia, are obsta- cles to entering into treaty relations which would give the naturalized American rights which natives of the same class do not enjoy. If Mr. Knox can procure satisfactory treaty agree- ‘ments he will not only do a great serv- ice to naturalized Americans, but re- move a source of constant irritation. Until recent years the lack of such treaties was not so keenly felt as the bulk of our forelgn-born people were from Great Britain, Germany and the Scandinavian countries where treaties exist, but the great imflux of immi- grants from southern Europe, Russia and Armenia has given rise to much triction. The question has a bearing not only important on naturalized Americans who desire to visit their |n|uu land, but also on settlements of sur- | | } | lieve in it. estates and other business dealings of foreign-born residents with their na- tive land, which are also affected More important still Is the necessity for removing a possible souree of in- ternational trouble. In times of irri- tation the policy of the United States to protect equally its foreign-born and native citizens might In the absance of treaties lead to serious consequ3nces. Mr. Knox is not the first secretary of state to essay the task, but at the pres- ent time the relations of the United lers change their habits there is good | States with all other powers are so |cordial that he may suceed where oth- | ers failed Some Prosperity Straws. The Wall Street Journal compiles some remarkable figures of the in- creased values of railroad and indus- trial stocks listed on the New York ock exchange, showing that since the slump of 1907 market values of thirty railroads and nineteen leading industrial corporations have increasel $3,006,720,000. Many stocks are higher now than before the sensa- tional slump of two years ago, and most of them are fully up to the high mark of that period. The recovery of industrials to the former figure Is particularly signifi- With raflroads it future, is the re- | sumption of the old dividend rates and | the certainty of a big crop movement this fall, but in the industrials the prices reflect confidence in the future as much, if not more, than present earnings, for few are yet earning the dividends paid in 1907, but advance orders and prospects are reflected in the stock quotations. Not only are the big men in the railroad and manufacturing world talking prosperity, but they are show- ing by their investments that they be- All lines of manufacturing are belng conducted qn a satisfactory basis and in addition many million dollars are being invested in exten- slons and betterments of existing plants. There is no reason to doubt that a great trade expansion is in sight and manufacturers everywhere are preparing to invade foreign mar- kets in order to build up an export business commensurate with the na- tion’s industrial capabilities. Real Story of the Big Hunt. It is the unexpected that always happens, especially when Theodore Roosevelt is the prime factor in the happening. Just as the cartoonists and paragraphers had prepared a sup- ply of “any day” material about the typewriter in the jungle comes the announcement that the ex-president is not using a typewriter at all in pre- paring his African articles, but is writing them all out himself. As Mr. Roosevelt's chirography is fairly good and he is sending the articles in dupli- cate, the printers will probably enter no complaint, but it {s really unkind when the hardworking cartoonists and paragraphers had worked up a little material in advance to permit of tak- ing it easy on hot days to have the whole thing pled by an ex-president who never would do anything just the way he was expected to do. ‘With all his alleged rashness, how- ever, Mr. Roosevelt is displaying much wisdom. He is making three copies of the articles, two being sent by malil under separate covers to the magazine while he retains the third. This in- formation is given out as a friendly tip to the printer that he may not be trapped In his usual retort, “That's copy, anyway.” Just why Mr. Roosevelt eschewed the typewriter is not apparent unless it was to reduce baggage for the long tramp In the interior. Or possibly, being a sclentific expedition instead of a lurid tale of a big game hunting trip he tabooed the many colored type- writer ribbon for the plain black and white, as befits the story of a white man's journey through Africa. All will agree that we want a man on our supreme bench “with an acute sense of honor.” But can a man be credited with an acute sense of honor who by all his acts and prafessions has been a life-long democrat, and yet In order to capture a few populist vot afirms under oath and over his own signature that he “afiliates with the people’s independent party?” —_— If any of the adjoining cities and towns want to enter into a union with Omaha under one corporate name they will have to get busy and consummate the program before the census taker starts out.

Mr. Bryan sets the seal of his condemna~ tion on the proposed new political organiza- ton, the manifesto of which was writ by John Bigelow, the friend and disoiple of Tiiden and a dootrinaire of the school of Hampden, of Burke, and of Jetferson. The “Peerless One” demands that the party shall reform itself. But there is the rub. What s reform? Mr. Bryan is the most voluminous reformer America has pro- Quced.

Major General Frederick D. Grant, commanding the Department of the Lakes, was In command of the recent tournament at Toledo, and on the final day of the tournament gave expression to his opinions as to an increase of the army, both of officers and enlisted men. He {8 quoted as being in favor of a stand- |ing army of 150000 men and that there | should be additional officers to take the | places of those on detached duty. This matter was thoroughly thrashed out be fore the house military committea during the last session of congress.

It is not likely that a school for ceoks and bakers will be established at Manila, as was at one time contemplated, but the authorities en- tertain the hope that it will be possible some day to organize regimental schools. A board of officers was recently con- vened by the commandant of the service schools at Fort Leavenworth, with a view to division of quarters at that post be- tween officers of the post and those a tached to the schools.
