For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the heathen Chinec is peculiar—but Bret Harte’s heathen Chinee has nothing on the desperate tactics of the democratic organs in Nebraska re- sorting to deliberate falsehood to throw dust in the voter's eyes. With nothing to stand on in the record of their own party, these democratic mouthpieces naturally want to divert attention from their own shortcomings and, as one method, constantly misquote what The, Bee has said with reference to the railway regulation planks in na- tional and state platforms. Following in the foot- steps of the World-Herald, the Lincoln Star puts in our mouth the statement that “exclusive federal regulation is ‘the clean-cut issue of the cam- paign,’” and also that “it is ‘the’ 1ssue.” Let us set everyone straight by reproducing exactly what we really did say, which is as fol- lows: We hiive clearly a straight-out issue between the two political parties in this pending presi- dential campaign as between nationalizing the control and regulation of the railroads, and con- tinuing the feeble, confusing and conflicting ef- forts at control by each state for itself within its own boundaries, On that issue The Bee is for national control and is confident that the republican party, if entrusted with the duty, will work out a reorganization of the Interstate Commerce commission to make it equal to its task and responsive to the public demands. Let us repeat that the positions of the repub- lican party and the democratic party are at issue on the question of railroad regulation by federal authority (eventually exclusive) against railroad regulation by forty-eight independent and con- flictin'g state authorities; that this is “a straight- out issue” between the parties, but not “the” issue any more than, nor as much as, some other issues. Our democratic friends are welcome to quote The Bee if they will only quote us correctly with- out distortion or garbling. The Deutschland Reaches Home. Captain Paul Koenig and his crew have com- pleted the cycle of their great undertaking. They have brought the undersea freight carrier, the Deutschland, safely into its home port and are now getting the enthusiastic congratulations of their countrymen because of it. The feat may scem ordinarg, because of the certainty with which the task was carried out; yet it is just this methodical, systematic procedure that has marked the course of German progress for forty years, and to it must be ascribed both the conception and the execution of the Deutschland’s voyage. Devoid of the spectacular, it nevertheless carries something more than the interest that , inci- dentally attaches to” a.pioneer effort in these times when the world is not inclined to be sur- prised at any achievement. Lessons of experi- ence gained by this voyage will serve in develop- ment of the type of craft better suited for the purpose, and the end of an absolute blockade of sea ports is reached, at least until such time as the bottom as well as the surface of the ocean may be patrolled. What a Little Farm Can Do. Nebraskans, who are accustomed to think of farms in terms of hundreds of acres, may with profit study a farm of twenty-seven and one-half acres on which the owner is growing rich. It is located in Harlan county, and has become the mlgi‘ect; of considerable interest in its own neigh- borhood bécause of the results produced. This farm is ririgated by pumping, and is so managed that it brings forth profits per acre far in excess of the ratio of the broad expanses tilled by mod- ern machinery. Four men find employment in its care, so it not only provides for these, but gives its owner a profit. As an illustration of the possibilities of intensive farming it deserves careful consideration. One of our university professors contends that only a big farm can be economically operated. This is true from his standpoint, which contemplates the installation of all the costly machinery required for farming operations on a large scale, and which machinery must be steadily employed in order to return a profit. - But the point is that a small tract will not only produce a living for its owner, but will also furnish a profit if it be managed with pru- dence and industry, The man with a few acres is as truly independent today as ever, if he but apply himself to his work. Thanks from the Filipinos. Burton Harrison, democratic governor general of the Philippines, congratulates our senator on Iris “victory” in behalf of the Filipinos, and as< sures him the people of the islands are grateful for what he has accomplished. The probabilities are the people of the islands know nothing what- ever about the matter, being blissfully ignorant of the meaning of the Hitchcock bill as it be- comes law. The Filipinos have been fed up by democratic politicians, both in the United States and the Philippines, with promises of immediate, if not sooner, freedom, independence and the like. Native schemers had been led to believe that the installation of a democratic administration over here meant removal at once of all restraint placed by the presence of the United States, that they might enter a campaign of spoliation, sure to end in seizure of the islands by a stronger power. Democrats on this side aided and abetted these in their dreams of loot, and now seek to save their faces by the passage of a law that gives the Filipino nothing he has not already. The Hitch- cock bill is another example of sham and hpoc- risy making as sincerity. 'When ifs agtual mean- ing is understood our senator will have little reason to felicitate himself on his achievement, ——— Pacific coast cities propose to fight to the last ditch for their reduced freight rates based on water competition. San Francisco takes the lead by appealing to the courts, alleging that the In- terstate Commerce commission “has no constitu- tional power to raise railroad rates once the rates have been lowered by water competition.” The contest promises a fine display of the hair-split- ting talent of the beneficiaries of a good thing. ————————— War order profits to the amount of $1,500,000 have been ‘donated to the city of Wilmington, Del., for various public institutions, including a college and a civic center. Whatever taint the money contains will not long survive the purify- ing power of the common good.

The Commercial National bank is now under the direction of A, P. Hopkins, who has hereto- fore acted as cashier. W. G. Maul is vice presi- dent and exercises a fatherly interest in the affairs of the institution. H. B. Boyles, formerly with J. J. Burns, gen- eral storekeeper of the Union Pacific railroad, and at present stenographer for Mr. Hodges, chemist for the Union Pacific, has resigned his position with the company to accept, September 1, the position of principal of Valentine's Short- hand institute in this city. Mr. Boyles has the reputation of being a first-class stenographer and will doubtless prove a valuable adjunct to the institute. Judge Redick, after his return from California, to which part of the country he contemplates moving, states that in comparison with Omaha the place was monotonous. “I like variety,” said Mr. Redick, “even if it has to come as a cyclone. But, you know, if I went I could get back here two or three times a year, and that would help along considerably.” At the last regular mecting of the Omaha Plasterers’ union, held August 20, 1886, Frank McCanna, Albert Carll and Thomas Gardner were appojnted a committee to draft appropriate reso- lutions expressive of regret at the loss and respect for the memory of James S.

As a result of these strides have been made toward mak- ing federal regulation of railroad rates | supreme and putting the state com- missions in a condition of innocuous desuetude. | 1n fact, if these decisions are up- | held by the courts, state-made rate | systems will in the near future be u { thing of the past. Within the last three or four weeks cision in the Missouri River-Nebraska cases, in a consolidation of cases aris. ing out of the original Shreveport c: and in a case brought by the Business Men's league of St. Louis to correct discrimination against St. Louils al- leged to exist by reason of the two- cent passenger fares within the state of Illinois. Every one of these cases involved the injury to one or more competitive jobbing centers just outside the bor- ders of a state by reason of state-made rate systems enforced within the state. In each case the commerce commis- sion prescribed reasonable rates from the points outside to points within the state and ordered the railroads to re- move the discrimination against the outside points existing by reason of the lower state rates. In none of these cases did the com- mission find the state rates unreason- abja because confiscatory, although in at'least one the’ state authorities en- deavored to force the commission into such a declaration if it found against the state rates. If the commission had done so, the foundation would have been laid for a long struggle in the courts over the proof of confiscation. What that would have meant every- one knows who has even so much as read the supreme court decision in the Minnesota rate case. There are good authorities for the view that it is practically impossible to show by af- firmative evidence the confiscatory character of any one group of rates, no matter how low they may be. In one decision disposing of the Mis- sourl River-Nebraska cases the com- mission fixed maximum rates from Sioux City, Council Bluffs, St. Joseph, Kansas City, Atchison and other out- side points to destinations within the state of Nebraska as reasonable. In general these were about on a level with the existing rates, though in,some cases small reductions were made. It then ordered the railroads to desist from discriminating against these points and in favor of Omaha, Lincoln | and other Nebraska jobbing centers by granting the latter lower rates for gimilar distances. The existing rates within the state are those fixed by the Nebraska commission, on an average something like 20 per cent less than the interstate rates. While the com- mission cannot fix minimum rates and cannot, therefore, directly order the railroads to charge the rates it hLas fixed as reasonable maximum, its or- der to remove the discrimination ig believed by interstate commerce law- yers to dispose of the Nebraska state scale. In the Shreveport case the Louisiana commission was the complainant against rates made by the Texas com- mission which gave Texas distributing advantage in dls- into eastern Texiu ser jobbers at Shreveport, La. In ?r‘us {-ase the commission decided against the Texas rates more than two years ago and ordered the rail- roads to remove the discrimination against Shreveport, fixing a scale of rates out from Sheveport considerably above the state rates reaching the same destinations from Texas points. The Texas commission appealed to the commerce court and the supreme court, both of which upheld the fed- eral commission. Because of various complications the latter suspended the effectiveness of its first order. It has now fixed a new scale of rates from Shreveport to Texas points which are in general below the existing rates, but somewhat higher than it had pre- viously fixed and substantially higher than the Texas state rates for similar distances. points a decided tributing *goods In the third case the commission has ordered the railroads operating in Tllinois and reaching St. Louis to re- move the discrimination against St. Louis caused by the two-cent fares within the state of Illinois, which are considerably lower than interstate tares from St. Louis to Illinols points. The commission, following its decision of & few months ago in the western passenger cases, fixes 2.4 cents a mile as a reasonable maximum. as the legal q“estinr‘t‘l tltr‘p v have been fought througl e lflm already, it is expected that the raflroads will proceed to comply with Inasmuch disregarding the state rates and g{uung gthelx' intrastate charges on the interstate basis.’ Whether under the circumstances the state or federal courts will enjoin them from doing so at the petition of state commissions ins to be seen.
