A SUPUEME opronTUMTr
Although thcciuostlon of tariff reform
was only incidentally considered by the
pcoplo , honovor much discussed by the
politicians , in the late campaigns , mid
had rcnlly no Influence in determining
the resultant the elections , the question
is not dismissed from popular attention
It is still , vital isiuo In which the
pcoplo of the tvholo country are deeply
concerned nnd they expect of the Fifty
first congress such notion in rovislng
nnd reforming the tariff as will bo
fair and just to all interests , and
will take the question out or politics for
some yonrs at least *
#
The republican loaders oughtjo ro-
ullzo that this is tholr supreme oppor
tunity to place the party in n position
so strong and safe that it can retain
control of the government indefinitely
There nro indications that some of
thorn dp bco and appreciate the vnluo
of this opportunity , but there is still a
largo number obstinately wedded to the
old policy , nnd whether these enn
bo induced to recede from tholr
position , acknowledge the changed
conditions which justify the popular de
mand for reform and in good faith re
deem the repeated plodgcs of the party ,
is a question the answer to which will
ho nwulted with very great interest by
all who nro concorncd for the goncrnl
wolfarc and future of the republican
party
What is needful to bo done , as Tim
Bih has already urged , is to remove the
dead branches by skillful pruning It
has boon fully demonstrated that a
number of our manufacturing in
dustries no longer rcquiro to bo
propped up by a protective tariff Du
ties on mnnufneturod articles now
freely exported in competition with the
cheap labor which obtnins in Europe
and Asia might bo abolished without
the least damage to American indus
try or to American labor And justice
to the American consumer demands
that duties on this class of urticles bo
either abolished or materially reduced ,
since no is' now obliged to pay
moro for thorn than they nro
sold for abroad The removal or
great reduction of , duties on
these nrticlcs need not in the
least affect the nrico of the labor em
ployed In their production , since that is
already regulated by the export rather
than the domestic value of the articles
Furthermore , if wo intend to make an
earnest and genuine olTort to extend
our foreign commerce , ospecinlly with
other American countries , a very general
oral rnvision of the tarilT and a radical
chnngo in our customs methods are ab
solutely necessary to success Wo can
not reasonably expect to successfully
compote with countries whoso fiscal
policy is far moro liberal than ours
so long as we adhere to our
present policy Though wo surpassed
every other nation in our facilities of
communication and transportation , wo
could not successfully coTpoto with Eu
ropean countries while the high pro
tective tarilt barriora are maintained
Wo must continuo to accept only the
crumbs of this southern commerce or
materially revise nnd greatly modify
our tarilT duties
The republican leaders in congress
must apply business principles to the
solution of this question , and in or
der that they may do this they must
free thomsolvcs from the counsel and
influence of the confederated monop
olies whoso bulwark is excessive tariff
duties Unless they do this , thereby
strengthening the republican party in
the confidence of the peopio , they may
find cause in the results of the next con
gressional elections to regret their fail
ure to improve a supreme opportunity
WUAy NOBODY KNOWS
No election in Nobmska has over boon so
thoroughly manipulated by railroad officials
ns the special bond election In Omahn will
bo on November 23. Yet Mr Rosowatsr
has not Bcentcu the battle from afar and do-
nounccd oil room lobbies or monopoly man
ipulation
Pcoplo talk about this and ask oncli other
what has caused tbo change Some say it is
duo to railroad aid in locating the cltv hall
site Some say It is the result of nsslstanco
given by Kimball , Thurston and Jlolareco
tnwnrd the movement to locnto the postolllco
at Eighteenth and Farnam Others say
well , others say other things , but nobody
knows World-Herald.
Pcoplo who say ether things hud bet
tor spit them out and bo done with it
They have been saying a good many
things in the Inst eighteen years about
Tun Bke and the motlvos of its editor ,
but nobody up to this time knows a sin
gle Instance whore a mercenary consid
eration swerved him from what ho be
lieved to bo in the public interest
Everybody knows , for instnnco , that
The Bek fought the Unlon Paoiflo , in
eoasou and out of season for twelve
years , and bammorod away at the high
wayman's tollgate , the Dillonvillo
transfer , and the Tenth street
cowshed Nearly everybody , in
cluding some Union Pacific mana
gers , was in accord with The Beg
in its efforts to compel it to reduce its
bridge tolls and enforce upon the road
a compliance with its obligations
toward Omaha , But preelous fowof our
pcoplo were willing to show their hand
in that fight To use a common Gormnn
phrase they rolled tholr clonehod fists
in their pockets , " but when it came to
any publio contest in state conventions ,
before legislatures , and in the board of
trade , the editor of The Bee usually
found himself backed by a very in
significant minority
. Now , when the road proposes ,
in consideration ot auothor bonds ,
to glvo Omaha what her citi
zens have boon clamoring for these
many years , but had not the backbone
to tight for , The Bee has reached the
conclusion that Omaha has moro to gain
by allowing herself to bo bled than by
dragging along without needed depot
and trunsfcr facilities for an indefinite
time
People who talk about this should re
member that The Bee urged the build
ing of the first viaduct on Tenth street
instead of Eleventh , and predicted
that the prpporty owners on
Tenth street would ho damaged
moro by not having the viaduct than by
its construction Whether that view
of the caao influenced Kimball , Thurs
ton and Holdrogo to favor Eighteenth
and Farnam for the postoflico and city
hall locations is n very deep mystery
It is suspected that Thurston's views
were war pod by the ono hundred nnd
thirty-two foot ho owns on the corner ot
Twenty-fourth and Fnrnnm But no
body knows 4
Others say that .Tudgo Dundy favored
Eighteenth nnd Fnrnnm because ha
owns a controlling interest In Tmi BkE
building , but nobody , perhaps except
lug Judge Novlllo , knows
Others say that Hitchcock was in
favor of the city hall location on Eigh
teenth and Farnam , which lies within
two blocks of his million-dollar hotel
site , but ho wanted to play the disinter
ested dodge , while secretly working for
the Farnam street location
So far as the postoflico si to is con
cerned most people would say that Hitch
cock was purely n publio benefactor
The sovonty-sovon thousand dollurs
which ho is to draw out of Undo Sam's
treasury in conscquouco of the soloctlou
of the 6quaro opposite his father-in-
laws block , which nlsodoublcsln value ,
cute no figure with him Others say
ether things , but nobody knows
a paktisan nonr
The action ot the nntionql convontlon
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
union establishes the position of that
organisation as a partisan body The
majority report of the committee on
resolutions , adopted almost unanimous
ly , declares that prohibition should bo
made the dominant issue in American
politics , nnd plcdgod the union to the
party which should doclnro for prohi
bition in its platform and stand for Its
application as n law The mi
nority report , which favored a
policy consistent with the original
character and purpose of the or-
gnnizution , namely , the promotion of
temperance by moral and educational
effort , was overwhelmingly rojoctcd
This action fully commits the W. C.
T. U. to the support of the third party ,
and it remains to bo soon what the of-
feet will bo upon the organization The
Iowa members promptly withdrew
when the convention rejoctcd their
views , and it is moro than probable
that ether state organizations will fol
low their example The partisan
tendency of the union under
its present leadership reduced its mem
bership during the past year nearly
sixty thousand , and now that It has pro
claimed without reserve un alliance
with the third party , and in favor of
making prohibition n political question ,
the result can hardly fall to bo a disin
tegration that will speedily eventuate
in destroying the organization ' At
any rate its inlluoncc and usefulness are
at an end
TUV WORLDS FAIR COXlEST
The contest for the location of the
worlds fair which is to celebrate the
discovery ol America by Columbus has
reached its most interesting stage ,
pending its transfer to the halls of con
gress The four cities that want the
fair Washington , Now York , Chicago
and St Louis are all prepared , except
Now York , to go before congress with
strongly backed claims So far as
Washington is concerned , it is of
course understood that if the fair
should bo located there it would
bo distinctively and wholly n gov
ernment cntorpriso The entire ex
penditure would have to como out of
the public treasury , nnd if there was
any loss the government would have to
bear it The ether cities propose to
furnish an ample fund as a guarantco
against loss
Chicago has long had five million
dollars pledged as a guarantee fund ,
and if necessary can double that
amount St Louis is also able to pledge
five million dollars , and doubt
less could raise any additional
amount which congress might
rcquiro Now York still lags , but will
probably bo ready with her five million
pledge by the time eongross meets
The claims of the several cities as to
advantages of location nnd ether osson-
tial conditions have nil been carefully
and olubora 'tely formulated , and will bo
industriously poured into the oars of
congressmen by persistent and eloquent
representatives of these cities from
now until the question is decided
Chicago is tbo only ono of the cities
which proposes to ask no ap
propriation from congress and having
from the outset led the pace in the
contest , that city has a bill already
drafted to bo presented to eongross
providing for the location of the fair
there and rclloving the United States
from linbility for any debt or obligation
in connection with it
There can bo little profit In speculat
ing ns to the respective chances of these
cities , but the present outlook appears
most favorable for Chicago A largo
number of congressmen are pledged
to support that city as their
first ohoico and many moro favor it as
their second ohoico The-probablo di
vision of sontlmont in congress will be :
The eastern members splid for Now
York , the western members and these
ofthomiddlo states nearly unanimous
for Chicago , and the southern and
southwestern members divided between
Washington nnd St Louis If this
should bo the situation in congress a
very interesting contest would bo as
sured , with the odds considerably in
favor of the Garden city
DECLINE OF THE ItANOE
The disastrous force of the blizzard
in the southwest , coupled with the de
structive effect of the drought in the
rungos of Wyoming and Montana , will
seriously cripple the raugo cattle in
dustry of the country
Reports from Now Mexico and portions
tions of northern Texas nnd the Indian
Territory show tin appalling fatality
among tbo herds in the track of tno
storm The blizzard bolt is four hun
dred miloslonR by sovonty-fivo miles
wide , and in this strip eattlo have
perished by the thousands , and thirty
thousand bead ot sheep nro known
to have 8Uceumbod to the oold Such a
calamity was never oxporipncod in that
section , and Ib financially ruinous to
hundreds of ranchers
In the northern ranges the scarcity
of pasture cnusod by the drought forced
stockmen to ship out every mnrkotablo
head To food durine the winter was
out of the question , nnd no ono was
bravo enough to risk his herds on graas-
lesa plains in severe weather Placed
between posslftTJ disaster and low ptlcos ,
the stockmen hnvo chosen the latter , on
the princiDloth at halt n loaf is bettor
than ho broad
But these nrp ' moro incldonts in the
gradual decay * , of the ranch buslnoss

barons in eve 'i'y ' ' dlroction They have
boon drlvon ( put of Kansas , Nebraska
and Dakota , nnfl-thotr torrltory is grad
ually but cdrtnlnly diminishing In
Montann , Wyoming , Colurado and in
the southwos v Vast areas of lnnd hnvo
boon added to , , the tlllnblo domain by
moans of irrigation , and within a doendo
it is posslblo thnt the major portion of
the arid plains will bo changed from
eattlo ranges to productive farms by ar
tificial moisture
This will not diminish the supply of
eattlo It will distribute the Industry
among a larger number of people , who
will hnvo ample room forsummor range
in the mountains nnd fenced pastures
nnd focding stalls for wlntor protection
In this way the eattlo buslnoss will bo
secure from periodical dlsastors and bean
an unfailing source of revenue for the
owners
Theme is widespread interest in
the question whether Senator Allison ,
of Iown , will bo his own successor
There really ought to bo no question in
the mnttar , but as the republican ma
jority in the legislature on joint bnllot
will bo only six , and some of the ropub-
llcsn members are known not to bo
friendly to Mr Allison , there is both
doubt and solicitude regarding the
result Not to continue Mr , Allison
in the sonuto would bo a misfor-
luno both for Iowa and the couu-
try nis experience and ability plnco
him in the front rank of contemporary
Btatesmon , nnd In * the nrcsont juiieturo
the republican party needs his counsel
in the senate nnd his inlliienco as a pub
lie man For years ho has given Iowa
a promlnenco and force in congress
superior to that enjoyed by any ether
western state , and indeed by few states
of any section , and it would bo a very
grave inistako for the republicans of
• Iowa to retire Mr Allison when his
strength as a party loader is atits high
est , and when his services as such nro
so necossary.to the welfare of the party
Wo confidently bollovo that , when the
republican members of the Iowa legis
lature shall have carefully and calmly
weighed all the considerations hnving
relation to the senatorial succession
there will boil o opposition to the re
election of Senator Allison
Missouri corporations must file a
sworn statement today that they have

is not entertained by men of well-balanced
