The importance to Omaha of an air line rend to Yankton and thence into the heart of Dakota cannot bo overrated A now field would bo opened to Omaha jobbers in a territory which naturally should bo tributary to thorn , and the people of South Dakota would avail thomfcolvos of Omaha's great stock yards and packing houses to market their cattle South Dakota has already supplied Omaha with the best paving material and building stone The great cement beds that have just been opened near Yankton would afford us great advantage in procuring content which is pronounced equal to the host Port land , and of which thousands upon thousands ol barrels tire used in the construction of sewers , granalithic sidewalks and our best buildings With the gap botwocn Hartington and Omaha closed this city would bo within ( lvo hours run of Yankton , and within loss than olght hours of Sioux Falls Now that the Union Pacific and "Northwcstorn systems have become nl- llos , Omaha is more th'iii over in posi tion to press her claims for better facil ities and connections into South Da kota by the Northwoatorn system NATIONAL MEAT IbSrECTlOX The secretary of agriculture , in hia annual report , urges the necessity of an inspection of cattle at the time of bluughtor by government inspectors His reasons for this are that such an inspection would guarantee the ac- ' coptcd product as untainted by disease , enable the national authorities to promptly discover any cattle disease , centers , and have an influence to rc- move the prejudice in foreign countries against American moats The latter consldoratioa is important , for , while it is true , as the secretary says , that tli" objections made on the part of foreign authorities to the wholcsotno- ness of our meat products have little if any foundation fact , still as long as wo neglect to take the precautions uni versally udoptcd by the governments of these countries in whicti wo seek a market for these products , and leave it to the ofllcinls of ether countries to inspect our live cattle or our meats , it is imposslblo for us to present as forcible arguments as wo could otherwise - wise do against restrictions on our trade Under present condi tions these foreign govern - monts claim , with some show of reason , that they have hotter opportun ities for learning of disease among American cattle than are enjoyed by the American government itself In the opinion of Secretary Rusk it is time to put un end to this anomalous condi tion ; . The exclusion of American meats from European markets is a serious mnttor to ono of-tho most important in terests of the country , and any policy which promises to remedy the situa tion should receive careful consid eration It Is of course well under stood that the foreign claim that American , moats cannot bo rolled on to be free from disease is a moro pretext The real motive for exclusion is not to protect the consumers , but the pro ducers Still the pretext finds largo acceptance , nnd us the people of these countries can have no idea of our sys tem of local inspection , or if they could would bo likely to have little confidence dencein it , since their habit is to re gard nothing worthy of unquestioning nccoptanco which has not the approval of the national government , wo can hardly hope over to bo able to success fully combat the unwarranted objec tions to our moats until wo can nssuro the foreign consumers that they receive national inspection There can be no serious objection to such a plan , and the possible advan tages are such as to commend it to con sideration Certainly if it should re sult in inducing a-singlo foreign gov ernment which now excludes American meats to change its policy it would provo a most profitable plan Tbo cattle tlo raisers nnd the largo intorcsts on- gngod in handling meat products * will doubtless approve the suggestion of the secretary of ngriculturo ANoinisnnwiiMOKD intiw vielv The Now York Sun names David B , mil and Juntos E. Campbell as demo cratic candidates for president and vlco president in 18U2. Mr Campbell , who Is the govornor-oloct of Ohio , when nskod what ho thought ot such a ticket , romurked : Three years ahead proph esies nnd famous combines hurdly ovur eomo to a head They dent gou- orally uomo nut well The year 1891 is the time when these things will de velop " This observation attests that Mr Campbell is a shrewd nnd prudout politician , but it suggests something moro than this , nnd that is that the newly elected governor of Ohio may have un ambition uhovo the second place on the next democratic nutional ticket , and feels that ho should rank at least equnl with Hill among the possibilities tor first pluco Why shQuld ho not ? Mr Campbell is certainly not inferior to Governor Hill in ability , and his political record is much moro creditable When ho shall have served a term as governor his experience in publlo uffalrs will bo moro extended than that or Hill , slnco bo will have had both a legislative and an ox- ocutlvo experience The late campaign exposed to view the whole public record of Campbell , nnd it was shown to bo a very fair and respectable ono He has boon guilty thus tar of none of the unscrupulous rnothods which have marked the political career of Hill , nnd it ho shall go on In this course for the next two years , maintaining a clean nnd creditable record , ho will not fall to commend himself to the largo roput- ftblo oloracnt in the democratic party which does not regard IIlll with favor There Is another thing which may count strongly in favor of the Ohio man whoiftho next national democratic con vention meets , and that 13 the senti ment now spreading in the parly that it should look away from Now York for a presidential candidate It has been urged by southern newspapers nnd or gans of domocratlo opinion elsewhere that the time has como for the party to throw oft its long maintained dependence - pondonco upon Now York and tnko n loader from the west What is properly the west has no man nt prcsout whom the party would bo likely to rognrd ns avallablo for a presidential candidate , but in the event that no suitable western man can bo found three yours hence , should the sentiment In favor of solccting a man from this section bo strong enough to mnko itself felt 111 the convention , Ohio is not so far east as to prevent Mr Campbell being accepted as a compro mise There is still another thing to bo considered , and thnt is the possibility , or rather the probability , that the war of the Cleveland and Ilill factions In New York will bo sosharpnnd bitter as to compel the convention in the in terest of the party to drop both of thorn It is plainly the intention of Hill to mnko the most aggressive olTort to secure - cure the support of Now York in the national convention , nnd it is equally ovldont that the frlonds of Mr Cleveland - land will do their best to defeat this do- sign Unless the ox-prcsldent declines to bo a candidate , which is not at nil likely , a very vigorous contest between the democratic factions in Now York is assured , and it is easy to understand that in such circumstances the party in convention might conclude , ns the only safe way , to select a candidate from some ether stnto upon whom the party in Now York might bo able to harmon ize Who moro likely than Campbell to bo the man ? Obviously the govornor-oloci of Ohio is in a much stronger position , as a presidential possibllltj- , than the gov ornor of Now York , and if ho shall dis creetly use the opportunity before him to strengthen himself in the good opin ion of his party , ho may bo a largo and important llguro in the next national democratic convention THE DEPOT PROPOSITION Docs Omaha's future depend on a Union depot , a Tenth street vioauct , nnd the run nine of eastern trains over-tho Union Pacifies biidso ? Do these three achievements depend upon the votlnKOfl " > 0,003of the peoples money to the railroads ! If the World-Herald could bo convinced that these questions called for nfllmativo answers , it would sav to the people , vote the bond IVorld-Ilernhl. Omaha's distant future may not depend - pond upon a Union depot , Tenth street viaduct and the running of eastern trains over the Union Pacific bridge Twenty-live years hence , or oven ton yoitrs hence , Omaha may occup3' such a commanding position as a commercial metropolis 113 will compel all rail roads that converge within fifty miles of Omaha to seek an Inlet into the city But Omaha's immediate future , in our humble opinion , does mo3t deeidodly depend upon the construction of proper approaches from the business contro to the Union Pacific bridge jind upon im proved depot facilities that will enable the eastern roads to bring their trains into Omaha ojor the Union Pacific bridge Omaha would today bo much moro populous than Kansas City had she boon similarly favored with union depot and nassonger tvansfor facilities Omaha would today bo a city of two hundred thousand population had it not boon for the drawback of the om- bnrgo that has kept all the Iowa railroads and the Wnbash road out of this city and subjected our jobbers and citizens generally to Incal culable annoyance and expense on ac count of the wretched transfer facil „ ities The question that now presents Itself to Omaha is simply this : Shall wo rniso the embargo and give a powerful stim ulus to Omaha's growth next spring by voting the bonus asked by the Union depot company , or shall wo take our chances on the building of the viaduct and depot in the dim and distant future ? And this is all there is ot the proposition Can Oraaha afford to tax horsolt seven thousand five hundred dollars a year for twenty yoara , and by so doing give momentum to a healthy and solid real cstato boom that will return moro than sovonty-flvo thousand dollars annually in incrcasod valuations of property and will very materially aid in drawing for eign capital for permanent investment ? The only weak spot Omaha has today in her makeup ns a commercial center is her lack ot railroad transfer accom modations , nnd In the rainbow railroad system to the south nnd north Can she afford to rojocc any proposition that will place her on un equal footing with Kansas City und ether rlvnl railroad centers ? Call it blackmail or highway robbery on the part 01 the Union Paclllc , the question vital to every mau who owns a foot of ground in Omaha Is ; Can wo afford to bo without n viaduct nndumon depot for an indefinite time Tun Bkb favors the North Omaha brldgo and depot proposition as much as anybody ; but suppose that project should fall to materialize , where will Omaha bo two or three years hence with rivals to the south and north cutting away ut her trade Vqv our part , wo want to see Omaha pass the two hundred and fifty thousand population mllo-stonn within ton years , and wo are willing to add one million dollara to her bonded debt or even double that aura to bring about that result Wiiatuvkii may ba the nature of the dltllr.ultlos which have induced Mudume Modjcska , as It Is reported , to take stops to 8ovor her connection with the Booth-B.i relt combination , no ono who knows Mint liuly will quostlon for a moment Uinf she is blameless in the matter The intiondoos contnincil in the dispatch roporttng the dissatis faction ofc the distinguished actress , which Imply thnt Mr Booth has bocn guilty ot 'tirigontloinanly conduct ot a grave nntliri , are on titled to no cre dence During his long carcor on the stage Mr jbq oth's reputation has never boon sullied < ny any scnndnl , and It is most unreasonable to suppose that now , having reacted the ago wl.on the heyday in the blood is tnmo nnd wnlts upon the judgment , " ho would bo guilty of conduct that would blot the fair page of his splendid record ns actor and gontluman The probability Is that the misunderstanding , if such there bo , is of n business nud profes sional nature , and In nny event it is to bo hoped all parties concerned will bo able to settle the differences with the least possible publicity Tim Fremont branch ot the W.
