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.
KVKHV laborer 'who can pogsibly bo

las opened up. Unlu&s work can be pro-
hied for the unemployed they .will seek
employment elsewhere at a time when
Omaha should spread all her sails to
nako a creditable exhibit in the census.
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

Tim best wtty to advertise Omaha is
to pocuro control of the trade anil trafllc

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

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 printer by the name of Ford met with
misfortune iu Omaha some two years ago nnd
: est his leg. It was tnkoI oil' by the
surgeon's knife Just below the Uueo. 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.

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. This fully demonstrates the
fact that all counties In the state should us-
