23 , as it passed the senate amends the
revenue law by striking out these words
in section , chapter US , of the compiled
statutes of 18S9 : "For advertising and
selling lands for delinquent tax an ad
ditional fee of 6 per cent to bo collected
only in case such lands are actually s > old ,
and then in cash of the person buying
the same. " This amendment should not
prevail. Experience has conclusively
Hhown that a penalty must bo imposed
to secure prompt payment of taxes.
The 10 per cent per annum in
terest charged against delinquent
taxes is not suilieiont inducement ,
as appears from the large number
of tax sales in every county in this and
other states. In many states the jKmalty
attache * immediately upon dollnnueacy.
In Nebraska no charge beyond interest
is made untii the sale actually occurs.
This provision Is mild enough to avoid
oppression , yet severe enough to afford
ixn Inducement to prompt payment. If
it is abrogated , delinquencies will in-
crcaso and there will bo fewer tax sales.
The revenues of the counties will bo se
riously affected and In a few years a
Inrgo bonus will bo offered for the col
lection of delinquent taxes. The present
law works well. Lot it alone.

The irrigation bill caino out of its
fight in the house alive , but badly
wounded. The striking out of the provis
ions for a board of control deprives Iho
proposed System of its symmetry , and it
no longer represents the desires of the
friends of the movement , as it did upon
its presentation.
The bill , as it was drawn by a commit
tee representing all parts of the state ,
was founded upon the years of experi
ence enjoyed by Colorado , Wyoming
and California. It aimed to make the best
use of the entire available water sup
ply of the state. For this purpose
it provided superintendents of the vari
ous districts and vested in them , with
the btate engineer , the powers of a
board of control. Under their adminis
tration all the streams of the state would ,
be gimged and the manifold questions
constantly arising between the users of
water would be adjusted. To cut out
the whole section creating the board of
control and practically confer all
its powers upon the state engineer
is a dangerous proceeding and
ono which wrought unpleasant re
sults in other states. Under the
law thus emasculated it would bo im
possible lo develop such a complete
system of irrigation as was contemplated
by the original bill. Indeed it becomes
a grave question whether the present
law , perhaps with the addition ol the
main features of the Wright precinct
law of California , would not now bo pref
erable to the wounded bill which comes
from the house.
It is strange that a legislature repre
senting the farmers by so decisive ifma-
jority should desire to strike down the
portions of the bill most likely to confer
benefits upon them. The only grievance
which farmers have held ngamst the
irrigation laws'of other states has been
that they failed to provide for the regu
lation of the price of water. The board
of control would have attended to that
important duty if the house had not oth
erwise decreed.
South Dakota and Kansas have this
year enacted irrigation laws which will
hasten this feature of their development
in the next two years. If Nebraska does
not got upon the same good basis this
year , she con wait and learn the lesson
from her neighbors , but the delay will
bo at the expense of her own prosperity
and advancement.

There is merit in the proposition of
Mr. Wyman made at the business men's
meeting , that a car wheel foundry bo
established In Omaha. It is not a now
idea by any means though a dormant
ono. Many years agon gentleman then
familiar with the subject , in the employ
of the Union I'aeUie , collocto'l a vast
deal of information in regard to the
cost of car wheels , their life and the
pivHts of their construction. As a result -
sult of his researches ho proposed to
several local railway people of moans the
organization of a gigantic car wheel
manufactory , in which the ownership of
the wheels should ho retained , and they
should bo rented at an agreed rate to
the railway companies. All cur wheels
were to be returned to ttio central fac
tory or a branch for repair and now ones
to bo substituted. The idea since
wrought out by refrigerator car com
panies ana oth or like institutions was to
bo adapted to the car wheel business.
This gentleman , who now resides in the
city , proved by a series of conclusive and
inloi'csting calculations the entire feasi
bility of the scheme. It would then
have been immensely profitable , and is
even now not altogether a vagary ,
though car wheels tire made by many
firms. The western railways could
without doubt bo brought to favor
a manufactory of this kind ,
which would PIVVO them vast expenditure
and build up in the interior a profitable
institution employing n largo number of
men. A largo investment would bo re
quired at the outset for patents , material
and machinery , but once the Institution
was on its foot the annual dividend
would bo certain and gratifying. If , as
is stated , the car wheels of the Union
I'aeillc could bo made hero for 10 per
coat loss than their present cost a plant
which would manufacture wheels for
that company alone could bo operated at
a profit. The other lines centering hero
doubtltss would rally to the support of a
business which would unlock mivornl
inllll-nisof tholr capital without increas
ing the expense of tills Item of llxoil ex
penditures. The suggestion of Mr.
Wyman w ill bear careful consideration
and Investigation whothnr the plan of
the other practical railway operator bo
adopted or wheels bo undo and s-old out

There need be > no apprehension that
any of the Kuropcan countries will de
cline to participate in the Columbian
exposition , or that they will not make
such exhibits as will be worthy of the
occasion and of the great market to
which they must continue to look for a
large part of their most profitable trade.
It did appear probable a fowmonths njio ,
after the new tariff law went Into effect ,
that the hostile feeling It aroused abroad
would operate adversely trf'lureigii In
terest In the exposition. The talk of
commercial retaliation freely indulged
in at that time in France ,
and to Homo ox tent in ( lei'mnny , sug
gested that little could be expected from
the manufacturers of those countries in
the way of contributing to the successor
our world's fair. It was nsnitneil that
upon the presumption that they were to
be practically shut out of our markets It
would biMi waste of money for them to
exhibit their products here , and that as
they would regard the nutter solely
from a business standpoint , not being
especially coticoriiod in the question of
international comity and good will , they
woiildkccp away.
It fm > t at all doubtful that a senti
ment of this sort did prevail in Kurope ,
and may still to sotno extent , but evi
dence is not wanting that it has largely
died out and will soon disappear alto
gether. Itecent dispatches have re
ported that there is the most friendly
fooling1 In'French olliclal circles toward
the Columbian exposition , and that the
government will bo properly repre
sented in it , The merchants of Berlin
have decided to make an exhibit , and
will ask for tile appointment of
an imperial commissioner , whoso
duty It shall bo lo obtain all
the facilities possible for a proper ex
hibit. It is true Unit the French minister -
tor of commerce said the extent to \ \ hich
French exhibitors would make displays
at the fair depends upon the attitude of
tbis country toward tarill legislation ,
but if the government of Franco shows
such friendly and generous disposition as
this same minister gave assurance it
will , t hero can bo no doubt that the
people will emulate the example. The
inlluenco of the decision of the Berlin
merchants will extend to all the
centers of business in the Ger
man empire and beyond , while
undoubtedly the government will
not bo less generous than that of France
in manifesting its friendly inturoht in
Iho success of the exposition. "With
thu'jo ' two continental countries assured
exhibitors on n liberal scale , the others
will need no urgent solicitation lo fall
into line , while England will corttiinly
not bo behind any of them , but rather , it
is reasonable to suppose , will endeavor
to excel all of them.
These are the reassuring conclusions
warranted by the most revent advices
regarding the feeling abroad toward our
world's fair , and all considerations
favor the view that the friendly
Interest In Kuropo in that event will
increase , unless the concern of our own
people for its success should wane and
the stales of the union fail to make ade-
quiito provision fora full.display of their
products and resources. The influence
of the tariff in keuping away foreign ex
hibitors will bo insignificant in compar
ison with the ad verso olTooU that would

There is a good deal to bo bald for and
against the single assessor plan. A city
assessor who would continue at .work till
the year round would bo a great im
provement on the pronont Mip-ohod
method , But the question is what olToct
will the doubling or quadrupling of as
sessed valuations in Omaha have upon
the state board of equalization:1 : "Will
not the board raise Douglas county
out of ull proportion to the
balance of the blatoV And what
may wo expect of the city
council if instead of 820,000,000 our val'it-
otions are raised to $00,0(10,000 ( or $80 , .
000,000 , without a corresponding reduc
tion in the power to levy taxes ?
At the present time the city levy is
over -1 per cent on a valuation of from
oiio-fourth to onc-soventh. Will the tax
ratio bo any lower if the assessment is
doubled or trebled ? Will not the rais
ing of the assessment by the city asses-
nor inevitably result In municipal cx-
travaganco and doubling the bitrdons of
the taxpayer1 ;
It seem * to UK that the single assessor
would involve an enormous increase of
taxes unless the whole fclnlo raises its
valuation either through the present
precinct assessor or by creating a
county n.ssoi-sor for every county.

On April 1 the sugar schedule of the
now tariff law takes olToot , It Is ex-
pooled that then migar will fall la price
from two to two and a luilf rents a
pound. The importance of this In the
aggregate will ho appreciated whoa it is
dialed that it nuititH an annual saving to
the people of $ ( l.'iUOl)0 ) ( ) ( ) , All thc-dulies
on raw sugars are iiboli.shod by the now
tariff bill , and llio duty on refined Is re
duced from tliruo anil thruo and a hnlf
eonlsa pound to half a cent , which insures
toi'onsninors the full bcaelitof the whole
reiltiotioti. In order that there inightbo
no iiitorruptiou of thu rolinliig and soil
ing of sugar , the new law wisely
provided that sugar mltfht be imported ,
rolitiud and Htoivd in bond until April 1
without the payment of duties , and on
that dnto it will ho released for milo nt
the lower rains. Thus consumers will
have the Imnellt of the reduction In priuo
immediately upon the law taking effect.
They will not be obliged to pay old
prices until old stocks are consumed , fur
nearly all Iho otocks on hand at that
date will have Jiooa made from raw
augur , duty free. The refiners are now
soiling to the jobbers everywhere gran
ulated sugar for four and a fall cents
a pound , to ho kept in bond until
April 1 , for which the price for
inunedlato sale is two cents h'gher ' ,
and the jobbers are buying this
sugar and olVoring it to retailers for du
ll very on and after April 1 at a eorro-
Hpotiding reduction. It is probable that
the price will go a half cent lower under
sharp competition whoa the now law
has boon a few weeks in operation.
Whether this will ho permanent , how
ever , depends upon the result of nego
tiations for reciprocal concessions from
the countries which furnish us most of
our sugars. The clause of the tariff law
which repeals the sugar duty is accom
panied by a provision stipulating that
the duty shall ho reiniposed upon the
product of any country rejecting' the re
ciprocity conditions of the act. That is ,
if on January 1 , 1802 , any sugar-pro
ducing nation has not granted to the
United States reciprocal tariff reduc
tions on the products of the latter , there
will bo imposed a duty on the sugar im
ported from the nation which refuses to
grant such a reduction. If Spain , for
instance , declines to enter Into an ar-
raneoinent with the United Stales for
reciprocity with regard to the trade
with Cubit , it is altogether probable
that for a time at least a portion of the
raw sugar imported into this country
will bo dutiable , and that its cost maybe
bo enhanced until othei'eountrios'which '
make the necessary concessions produce
sugaronougli to satisfy the demand in tills
country. The question of reciprocity with
Cuba is therefore of very material im
portance both to our own people and to
the sugar interest of that island. The
planters there are vigorously urging
reciprocity as absolutely necessary to
save them from ruin , and the Spanish
ministry are considering the proposi
tion of our government for certain re
ductions in the present Cuban tariff , but
the result is quite uncertain. The fact
that our tariff increased the duties on
Cuban tobacco and cigars , with thoolTeet
of curtailing that trade , is displeasing to
tlio Spanish government , hut perhaps
the more serious dilliculty is to
provide a way to got the
revenue which would bo lost by
a reduction of tariff charges.
Under present conditions Cuba does not
pay Into the Spanish treasury sulllcioat
to meet the expense for the government
of the inland , and the situation would
doubtless bui-omo worse If the tarill' were
reduced. This Is really the formidable
obstacle In the way of trade reciprocity
with Cuba.
Uut in any event the Americ in people
are assured cheaper sugar for a time ,
with the chance largely in favor of its
being permanent , for should reciprocity
with Cuba fail it would give such a stim
ulus to sugar growing in ether countries ,
as liraxil and Vone/.uela , Unit wo should
bo enabled to obtain an adequate supply
front those countries.

Last evening Detectives Pound and \'oo-
mans arrested Walter Hunter nt.d Willie J3.

doors of the Wesloyau university were pnoil
open and S5 worth of postage stamps , several
dozen lead poucils and n quantity of ether
goods talcon. Several days ago the officers
of the university became .suspicions of young
Whlto , who lives four blocks south of the
university. Tboir suspicions led thorn to
procure a s > iurch ! warrant in .lusticvo
Brown's court , and yesterday Detec
tives Pound and Vneiimus visited the Wiito
domicile mid instituted a thorough search ,
which was rewarded by the discovery of n
portion of the stolen goods. The ofllcors
then proeurrod a warrant for young White's
arrest for burglary. When the youthful
burglar wns taken into custody ho weakened
and made a full confession. Ho said that ho
and Walter Hunter , son of Mrs. Mary A.
Hunter of HIS H street , had boon carrying
on a systematic series of burglaries for sev
eral weeks past and that they had burglarized
the Wosloyun university , Tiixstor'n lumber
onlco and several other places. IlunU'r was
iirresUil and both prisoners were taken Into
Jndgo Brown's court yesterday evening.
