THE congressional investigation
of the steel workers strike at
Homestead may throw a good deal
of light on the relation of Carne
gie's mill managers and their em
ployes. Chairman Boatner of the
'Committee declares , after examin
ing the pay roll , that the wages
ypaid by the Carnegie company
-were the highest he ever heard of.
. Boatner is a Louisiana democrat
and not in the least friendly to
protection or protected industries.

presence of the state militia
at the Carnegie works will relieve
the tired workmen from picket du
ty and prevent further use of Pink-
erton's hired assassins. But as
the militia cannot be kept in the
field for an indefinite time the
strike or lock-out must be adjusted
before long , for the departure cf
the militia would be followed by
trouble between the non-union and
union workmen.
THE warm letter sent by Mr.
Blaine to Secretary of State Foster ,
congratulating him upon Ms ap
pointment , and complimenting him
as the right man for the place in a
very cordial way , is a great disap-
pointmeut to the mugwump press.

Foster's "insult to Mr. Blaine , "
and its effect in driving him out of
the cabinet and they hated to beer

THE beet sugar industry in Ne
braska is iu its infancy. It is bu
a question of time when it will be
one of the most valuable resources
of the state. The obvious reason
for this is that the soil and climate
of a large part of this state are
peculiarly favorable to the produc
tion of the sugar beet , and it has
been conclusively demonstratec
that the Nebraska grown beets are
not excelled by those cultivated in
any other part of the world. It is
also a demonstrated fact that the
growing of sugar beets can be made
very profitable. These considera
tions insure the steady progress oi
the industry. In view of this pros
pect it is obviously desirable thai
Omaha shall take an active interest
in the question of establishing one
or more sugar refineries here.
This city ought to do a large share
of the refining of sugar produced
in Nebraska , and undoubtedly can
if it shows the proper enterprise.
Indeed Omaha might in time be
come a sugar refining center , draw
ing supplies of beets from contig
uous states where the raisiug of
them is contemplated , thereby
building up a most important in
dustry. This is a very practical
matter to which our capitalists
ought to devote serious attention.

THERE seems to be some confu
sion in the minds of the democrat
ic brethren about the McKinley
bill. They said that the McKinley
bill was intended , or pretended to
intend , to raise the wages of the
iron workers at Homestead , but
that it seems that it did not. Now
as the McKinley bill greatly decreased -
[ creased the tariff on iron and steel ,
AY here was there any pretence in it
.that . it was going to raise the wages
of iron workers ? The McKinley
bill reduced the tariff in the aggre
gate more than $60,000,000 an
nually. It raised the tariff on cer
tain articles in order to equalize it ,
but it was always a democratic be
lief that it increased the tariff all
around. Probably it was the
thought of the McKinley bill that
the iron workers got pretty good
wages already , and that the indus
try needed no increase in the tariff
to encourage it. "We now make all
the iron and steel that we consume.
We have absolute control of our
market and the wages of labor in
that industry in this country are
the highest paid on earth for the
same service. Journal.
THE suggestion of the Washing
ton lawyer that the advisory com
inittee shall bring the Homesteac
matter into the courts seems to have
many advantages , and from its pa
cific nature will commend itself to
public sentiment. The ordinary
processes of arbitration have failec
through the flat refusal of the com
pany to allow such peaceful anc
.A. W
reasonable methods , and a resor
to the courts will be , if feasible
the next best course. All griev
ances , rights and questions a
issue can be there broght out ,
and if no other good results the
public will at least have a perfeci
understanding of the merits of the
case in all its bearings. Bee.
THE naval squad which has been
testing some big guns for Uncle
Sam at Sandy Hook for some time
past made a pretty good shot on
Saturday without knowing it. By
some unaccountable deflection a
big projectile they fired seaward
changed its course , plunged into a
fog bank , found a schooner coming
in with full sail to the harbor and
cut her in two. The captain and
crew had DO idea what hit their
vessel and barely had time to get
; he life boat and scramble into it
when the schooner sank to the
bottom of the sea. It is evident
that that the modern gun is quite
effective.
PRESIDENT DIAZ has been again
elected chief magistrate of Mexico.
There is no unwritten law in that
republic against a third term or a
fourth term or a fifth term , and
now it has been demonstrated that
a sixth term does not dismay the
Mexicano. But such is the status
of affairs in Mexico that Diaz is
about the only man the people have
confidence in , and his administra
tion has been admirable from the
beginning considering the people
he has had to rule.

THE "Don't" editor of the N
York World has turned his atten
ion to the free coinage democrats
n congress who are attempting to
liscredit their candidate and smash
the Chicago platform by rushing
through a free silver bill. He
pleads with them with tears in his
eyes torefiaiu , and addresses to
them this personal card :
To free coinage democrats in the
house the World has this to say :
Your party is engaged in the
most vital contest it has fought foi
vears.
v
You are sorely embarrassing il
by forcing the free coinage meas
ure again into issue.
You are setting at nought the
platform which the party has just
adopted in national convention.
You are creating a grave danger
of defeat where success is other
wise well-nigh certain.
You are doing more to imperil
democracy in the decisive states
than any agency of republicanism
could do.
And you are doing all this to no
purpose. Even if you pass this
senate bill it cannot become a law.
You will hare achieved no victory
except over your own party.
Why should you do this thing ?
Why should you not postpone this
question till the people shall have
'passed upon it at the polls ? Why
should you not spare democracy
; he hurt you are doing it , when it
is so certain that you can accom
plish nothing by fighting your
i'iends in the face of an enemy ?
COLONEL BIDWELL the prohibi-
ion candidate for president is a
reformed distiller. He used to
grow grapes enough on his 25,000
icres of California climate to run
lis own distillery and make many
arge puncheons , barrels and bot-
; les of wine and brandy. Now he
aises the grapes and sells them to
other people to make into wine and
> randy. He was converted by his
vife. Consequently it is the Col
onel's wife who ought really to be
unning for president. Journal.

WE are pleased to learn that
the independents of Bed Willow
county are unanimously in favor
of the reuomination of Senator
Link. There certainly is not a
true ] ' , more earnest and abler ad
vocate of our principles in the dis
trict than he , and as this broken
term has been one with out honors ,
he deserves a re-election. Stock-
ville Faber.
Hints by Harrison.
I believe our legislation should be
broad as our territory , should not be
for classes , but should be always in the
interest of the people.
If I were to select a watchword that
I would have every young man write
above his door and on his heart it would
be that word "Fidelity. "
When hopes go out of the heart and
life becomes so hard that it is no longer
c
sweet , men are not safe neighbors and
they are not good citizens.
1 pity the man who wants a coat so
cheap that the man or woman who
produces the cloth or shapes it into a
garment shall starve in the process.
If no ill happens to you that I do
not wish and all the good comes to you
that I wish in your behalf , your lives
will be full of pleasantness and peace.
Let us divide upon tariff and finance ,
> ut let there be no division upon this
question , that nowhere shall the law
) e overturned in the interests of any
> ody.
I hope that sentiment that regards
the authority of the United States or
ts officers , alien or strange , has once
and forever been distinguished in this
country of ours.
The captain who gives to the sea his !
cargo of goods that he may give safety
nd deliverance to his fellowmen has
fame ; but he who lands his cargo has
only wages.
It is quite worth while , I think , for
those who arc charged with great public
affairs now and then to turn aside from
the routine of official duties and look
into the face of the people.
It is well enough to have trees on
the land and mines in the earth ; but
trees will be cut down and mines will
be dug out. and the only thing that
lasts is good .soil in the hands of good
husbandmen.
