C Tnr. Hiiccesnor of Bismarck proposes to outdo the man of blood and iron in curtailing the privileges of the press. Not only will the avenues of official news bo closed to all but a few favored papers , but the comments of the press must harnionl/.e with the views of the now regime. The prospect of a term in jail for the editor and suppression of the olTending paper is not calculated to de velop editorial independence in the Gor man press.

Tin : return of Senator Ingalls to Kau nas gives a peculiar significance to his utterances in a recent interview. "Oc casional mirrondor of individual judg ment to nubile opinion , " says the sena tor , "is prudent , and respectful deference to widespread error Is now and then ex pedient. It is always well to keep the polo star in view , but when the wind Is dead ahead the skillful navigator will either tack or drop anchor. " Kvidently tlio senatorial noas of Kansas tire agi tated by a disturbing element , and tlio cross winds sot in motion will tax tlio Blrill of tlio navigator to successfully weather tlio galo. Mr. Ingalls is not tlio kind of man to "drop anchor" at this. Btage of tlio contest. On the contrary , ho will keep tlio senatorial pule star in view , lack to bull tlio prevailing current and "tuiiTomler individual judgment to public opinion. " Hutu man convinced ugalust lib will la of the t > umo opinion -.ill. r/ ; /.i tr xor The Investigation of Immigration l > i the congressional committee , which ha been in progress for nearly two weeks tins developed some Interesting fact which wore not disclosed by previous In quiriui ) . Tlio committee appointed bj the house ot representatives of the Fif tloth congress spout n good deal of time in Investigating immigration , and had a great amount of Information presentee to it , but it managed not to go Into Iho subject ns thoroughly and rw - honestly ns was do slniblo. Tlio majority of the committee being democratic , and the Now York board of emigration having been n ver > useful assistance to the democratic party , it was quite natural that the committee should have boon conservatlvo in Its in vestigation. The present committee appear.to bo more solicitous to learn the truth. The policy outlined at the outset Is to place the control of immigration in thchandsol the olllccrs of the national government , where obviously it projwrly belong. " , and there is consequently no reason why the whole truth regarding what hits taken plnco under the operation of the immigration laws should not be disclosed. There JH now an honest desire , free from all political considerations , to institute u much needed reform in this matter , and therefore there will bo no conceal ments. Ono of the most interesting facts dis closed is the .sliitemcnt of n commis sioner of emigration that the contract labor law has been far from a complete success. IIo said that the law was con stantly evaded , many of the immigrants iK'ing really contract laborers under the spirit of tlio law , but they could not beheld held because they wore not actually under contract. IIo slated that many Italians came hero under promise of em ployment by the pndrones , but while this is to all intents and purposes a contract to labor , it is not such a contract as the law contemplates , and consequently these people can not bo interfered with under the terms of the law. In the opinion of this commissioner bolter and more definite legislation would keep some con tract laborers out , but it is diflicult to see how any law can be made to reach such cases as ho cites. It is undoubtedly the fact Hint the Italian padrones who encourage their'countrymen to come to the United States know where they can find employment for them and make a profitable business out of selling their labor , but so long as there is no formal contract the law cannot no held to bo violated. The sameis true of the labor bureaus which find employment for immigrants. Obviously it will be next to impo-Hiblo to prevent this , for it could bo done only by following ynmigrants from their landing to their destination , and the government could not undertake such u table. The labor contract law is not wholly Inoperative , but according to trustworthy testimony it is constantly evaded , and it is not clear how this can bo prevented. With regard to the question of re stricting immigration , the general ex pression was not favorable to it. One of the Now York emigration commission ers said it was not restriction that was needed , but a system to distribute the immigrants properly. The great trouble wasin crowding them into congested dis tricts , places where the supply of labor exceeded the demand. The consensus of opinion obtained by the congressional committee is that the existing laws , if properly enforced , are sufHciont to keep out objectionable classes of foreigners , and that.it would not bo good policy to extend restrictive legislation. Tlio wbolo country will bo interested in , and a great many politicians will keenly relish , the pQreonul warfare that bus broken out between ox-President Cleveland and Editor Dana of the New YorkSun. . Goaded by the persistent and irritating allusions of Ihoi'ioi , presuma bly inspired by , if not al ways the work of Mr. Dana , the ex-president a few days ago allowed himself lo talk to a reporter very plainly of tlio editor , whom bo characterized as no bettor than ti high wayman and as a "senile old liar and thief. " Tills was very remarkable language for Mr. Cleveland to use , and clearly Indicated an excep- iionat biaio 01 irruauon. in mo course of the interview ho charged that the Sun had attacked Mrs. Cleveland. To ; his Mr. Dana made reply in his most bitter style , referring to the ox-presi- lent as n "blackguard " " , "a selfish pol- roon , " "an unworthy husband" and Hlier denunciatory and depreciatory epithets , denying at the same time that -lie ib'ioi ever reflected in any ninn- ter on Mrs. Cleveland. Whether > r not this will bo the end of ho warfare so far as the ox-prost- lent is concerned remains to bo seen , but in any event Air. Dana will undoubt edly keep his batteries In notion. It is not an altogether edifying specta cle , but the editor may bo sure of the ap- n-oval anil applause of. Governor II1I1 mil his friends if of nobody ol o. It islet lot by this sort of attack , however , that Mr. Dana will be able to drive Mr.Clove- u-.nl out ot the race for the next presi- knt al nomination by the democracy mil accomplish what he desires , the ad vancement of the cause of David llennett Hill. run .IXTI-IIWHIX HILT * . The commercial bodies of the country ire falling.lnto line in waging a vigor ous Ilght-against the bill reported from the agricultural committee of the house mivldlng for u tax on dealers in "futures" tind other forms of specula tion. Generally tho.se organizations ire not opposed to \\\o \ \ \ flrst section of .ho measure" , which is intended to pro hibit dealings hi. "puli , " "calls" and like gambling methods. On the con trary they upprovo of this. Hut hey doclin-o that dealing in futures Is entirely legitimate mil absolutely necessary to. tralllo In iroduets , and that if it were douo awav with the producers would bo the groat- Oat sulTerors. The contention 1 * that the permission given to producers to dispose of their growing crops for future delivery would > e of no vnluo to thoni.'bocauso no one vould bo willing to buy with the cor- tuiuty that until grain and cuttle came to Imnd reselling would bo out of the question , and consequently for a certain parlod etioh year the markets would bo closed against producer. * . It Is argued also that neither bunkers nor merchants would advance against growing crops if denied the present opportunities of mak ing sales of "futures' ' against their col lateral securities. And it is claimed that not only would domestic business sillier , but the clToct would bo damaging to the export trade , the mainspring of which Is the facility with which export ers obtain from bankers advances on thelrshlpments. The markets abroad < are open all the year round and in active oj > eratlon , and this only by reason of the permanent demand created by legitimate business in futures. If the conditions were changed , us they would bo under the proposed law , it is claimed that the foreign in irkets would during the grcator p.vrt of the year bo closed or reduced to utterly Insignificant proportions. The Now York produce and cotton exchanges and other com mercial bodies have sunt protests to the agricultural committee against the bill , so far as it proposes to interfere with transactions in futures. There is , unquestionably , a great deal of plausibility in the ar guments presented in opposi tion to the proposed law , but the dilli- culty Is to determine what is legitimate dealing in futures and what is not , and it is easy to understand that unless it bo practicable to separate and clearly define that which nriy ba pjrmlssible from that which is not , the only safe course must bo in subjecting the whole to legal re striction. Probably nobody expects tint speculation can be entirely supprojsr.l , but it may ba possible to do away with the most damaging and de moralizing forms of gambling in food products , and something has been gained in the general confes sion of commercial men that this should bo done. Some modifications of the I'.ut- lerworlh bill as reported nriy bj desir able , but so far as it applies to those forms ot tjpoeuhition which all business men agree are bad it should 1 given a trial. The expsriment ein : do no harm oven if it should not bs successful in ac complishing all to be hoped for from it. TIIK bill to relieve tludojketof the supreme court is 0113 of the most Im portant meas.iros p issad by the house this session. Rivor.ible ayihm in ly bj expected in tlio ssnale , and the approval of the president is equally cjrtain. The ilocKet , oi llic court ol lii t ro- > ort is now overburdened , and the steady increase of litigation renders m-jiisurCM of relief im perative. Only the most important eases can be advanced on tli'o. docket , leaving ordinary eases to slumber three or more years on the files'of the court. Tliis works a gro'it injury to litigants and the public at large. It encourages corporations and combines to carry eases to the courts for the ' sole pur pose of profiling by the 1-iw's delay. The proposed lav. ' will remidy this evil and expedite the work of the high"r court. It provides for thoappointiiijiltof-.sevon- teen additional circuit judges and gives the circuit courts final jurisdiction in a vast number of eaio of n connnreial and financial chara"tor which are now ap pealable to the supreme court. Another impediment to the trivial appeals is provided by in-ro'ising the appj.il bond. The object of the law is to confine the work of the suprema court to questions involving constitutional law and to arivo the court ample time to consider such questions in all their bearings. THK city council is trilling with the important question of rodistrlcting the wards. The experience of thoTall elec tions clearly demonstrated-the necessity of largely increasing the number of poll ing places. A division of a ward hero ind there will not , meet the requirements of-the case , The total voting population of the city should bo taken into consid eration and the polling districts so ar ranged as to make four hundred voters .ho maximum number to each poll. Jndor the present arrangement it s utterly impossible to secure i full and free exorcise of citizenship , mil the dilllculties and delays will bo in creased at the fall election. In addition o state , congressional and county tickets , four constitutional amendments vill bo submitted for decision at the bal- ol box. With a complicated system of ogistration , which impedes rather than acilitatc.s voting , it will be impossible or the most competent judges and clerks o accommodate the voters. The qnes- ion is of supreme importance to the ity , and the council should considerand lispose of it in such manner as will in ure the canting of every veto in the city it the November election. Tun denials of the managers intor- "sted regarding railroad deals in Col orado and Utah are evidently intended o gull the public. There is no secret ibout the efforts of the Keck Island and Jurlington to secure connection with .he Central Pacific at Ogden , and there s no occasion for contradicting facts ap- Kiront to any intelligent obserVer of ailroad operations In the west. The ruth Is that the Kofk Island will have rains running into Salt Lriko 'and Ogden before many months. Why the nanagers should desire to keep the deal n the dark now dies not coneorn the inblic. Possibly other interests might to affected If public announcement was nude of an alliance which \vu privately onllrmod to'l'iiKliKK six months ago. 'hut the Hook Island has a twOnty year case of the Midland Pacific and a ralllc arrangement with the Uio Grande Vestern cannot bu doubted. And the hango of gauge of the latter road , now pproaehtng completion , was essential o the consummation of the alliance.

SOMI : of the late investments of Ktiff- l h syndicates In this country have not icon encouraging or profitable. When Urltlshors exchanged boveral hundred thousand ptAliiUs for the breweries of Detroit they fyofully awaited the divi dends whIfhjiqpor , came. On the con trary the pMiKumgo of the breweries dropped off fo suddenly that the syndi cate was glad to resell to the original owners at plfofcs far below what was paid in pounds sterling. Next to a wilted mine'K ' brewery is a most effec tive means of , ' tupping the Urltlah sur plus. ' ' Tim best wtty to advertise Omaha is to pocuro control of the trade anil trafllc which book rmluond connection with the city. To fritter' away time and means scattering handbills in the cast while local interests demand energetic and united action does not reflect credit on the board of trado.

Faith might , on the other hand , ! put in a pi-oaiiso of non-intoi'forcnej nuidu by the Emperor William II. to his Russian kinsman ; and in the absence of such an assurance it is hard lo undor-.tand the present provoeativo attitude of Sorvi-.i. It is , indeed , reported by some of the London journals tlmtaii inform il agree ment exists between England , Austria ami Italy to unitedly resist Russi in ag gression in the Balkan peninsula ; but it is very doubtful whether tlio British parliament would sanction a compact of that kind cntero > } Into without its author ity or knowledge.

The optimists may nrgno that this is going backward so as to imiko a good jump forward , but It is to bo feared that , us in the c.iso of Biglow , the em peror's alleged aspirations for a concerted dis armament uro subject to the opinion that "civilization does git for'ard sometimes upon u powder cart. " It would ho remarkable , In deed , If the young monarch who so short a time- ago Introduced himself to Germany us her "War Lord" should already bo medi tating an arrangement with Franco for re ducing simultaneously their respective mili tary ustnbllshniciils. Such u acheine , al though most wlso and urgently needed , might nUo require the concurrent notion of Russia iu order to bo wholly prudent , and that might not bo easy to secure. Possibly it might fur ther require coming ton tnclt understanding with Franco upon the future of Alsace-Lor raine , which would bo another task far from cosy. If ( ho emperor should ever give the world a surprise of this sort , ho would found nu imperishable monument to his fame. * * * Thojiews comes from Sydney thnt n vessel recently rnn ngroinid at Mtillicolo , the second largest Island In the Now Hebrides group , and that thirty men who struggled ashore from the wreck were massacred to a man by the luillvc.s. This little island , containing only about twelve hundred square miles , was only two or three years ago occupied by n French garrison , whoso purpose was to pro tect traders from the hostility of the imtlvcs. But these suvago Papuans cannot forgot their old wrongs , and they have Improved the first opportunity to wreak vengeance upon helpless - less sailors who were cast tinon tholr shores. Mr. Kcrhy-NIcholU nnd other travelers among thc.se Islands hava tcstillod that the natives of the Now Hebrides um friendly and hospitable when well treated. But these savages hnve suffered outrageously from the crimes of labor-rcornltlng .ships , by which , la the days nefom the great evil was suppressed With a stern hand , they were torn from their homo by hundreds to toil us slaves on the plantations of other Islands or In Queens land. It Is only a few years Mnco the cnptiitn or the schooner Venus landed on the very Island where the recent tragedy occurred and enticed ninety natives Into thoholdof his ves- HO ! on the pretense that ho wished them to move an Iron tank. When ho got them below the hatches were simply clapped on them and the captain sailed away. On another occasion nine men who h.id been dragged nway from this Island and taken to a plantation la an other part of the group , stole a boat and rowed eighty inllo-s on the open sea back to their homo. CJuIded apparently by the sun they reached their nutlvo Island in safety. The world will not Judge these islanders too har.shly , for their wrongs have been great ; and that they are capable of attaining some measures of civilisation is shown by the fact that among the Islanders of tills group , where missionaries have long l > cen stationed , about ! l,0ii ) ) natives hnvo professed Christianity , while ' , ' 0,0. . ) ; ) of these former cannibals have given up the grosser practices of savagery. * The Peruvian elections have resulted In tlio choice of the oflleiul and military candidate , Colonel Moralds-Berimidez. Dr. Rasas , pres ident of the senate , hail been favored by tlio most progressive classes , but the fact that ho was a civilian and h id no military title opor- aled to secure his defeat. President Caeeres , while assuming to have no candidate of Ills own , was known to favor Colonel Mnralos- Hermudci ; and official Influence undoubtedly was exerted in his interest. A single presi dential term Is the constitutional rule throughout South America , but it seldom prevents tlio nomination and election of a sue- ceisor to the executive oflico who i.s tlio per sonal choice of the outgoing president. As Provident Cucores has taken strong ground in favor of the settlement with the nation's Creditors effected by Michael P. Grace , the election of his candidate involves the execu tion of the contract. Dr. Rosas was com mitted to the same policy by his action ns the presiding olllcer of the senate. . In the movements of Stanley in Africa the Hie lotiK arm of England is plainly to bo seen. Tlio explorer , In truth , does not conceal that he was acting in behalf of English interests. But in the underhanded game which the Eng lish and German governments are playing for Africa the latter have an npp irent advantage in its present stage. Dr. Peters is at last ac counts alive and well at Victoria Nyanza , and the rescued Einin has entered the service of tlio German government in spit < > of the bril- limit offow'of the , English. Wo may next hoar of his return to the interior of Africa at the head of a Gorman expedition. Such con siderations as those may .serve in some degree to dertaet from the success of Stanley's lat est Atrican expedition , when regarded wholly from un English point of view. A Beautiful Paper.

Fora time ho got about with the aid of crutches md made his - ' " living at tho-'case. But a sister , who is said to have money , coinpas- sioncd his condition and purchased him a wooden leg and he was enabled to go to and from his work more easily , mid iu manner , iko unto the days befoio lie was compelled to take the crutch. Despite his crippleij condl- -ion , however , he dissipated , and while on a recent bender lie went to Addler's pawn shop and put his wooden leg in soak forS'i.50. The pawnbroker got a chance to sell it on the day or day after the check for payment became due and let It go. But today Ford raised the money and went ti Atldlcr to redeem it , and found to his chagrin that fouio other fellow was wearing his sister's present to him. Ho immediately brought suit for its recovery In justice court and proposas to test whether or not pawn checks uro entitled to days of grace. mxi tiinixn Assi : > sMi5NTi. A number of counties in tlio state were as sessing property at its full value , and in quiries uro being made of tho-auditor its to what action the state board of equalisation will take in making the assessment. A'ery little leeway is given to equalize the levy o'f state tuxes , tlio law only authorizing tlio hoard to vary the levy of the general and sinking fund. An interesting document has been prepared , nnd is on Hlo In the auditor's ollice , showing that the assessed valuation in the state is 20 per cent of its real value. Counties assessing full value , of course * , will naturally pay more than their proportion of their state tax.
