Hood farms cnn ho bought cheaper at

or this arc plain. The Ural settlers of

ilont'urs , who have nothing to Invest but
lii-ir energy and labor. They do the

This is the theory on which somn of

Wherever the sugar boot industry
has taken deep root , in Kngltuul or
America , it has had the ncourngomont
of a reasonable amount of bounty from
state or nation. And In every enso the
results have justilled the outlay ,
Germany makes more beet augur than
any other nation. She consumes less
to the population than nny other , and
for that reason the government has
made n special ellort to encourage its
niunufni'turo for export. It has therefore -
fore provided that all Gorman sugar
oont out of HID country shall bo ex
empted from the taxes laid upon that
consumed at home. This amounts to n
bounty of one-half cent per pound.
Until the industry was thoroughly es
tablished it received an outright bounty.
Franco is the European rival of Ger
many in tlio production of beet sugar.
She has dealt liberally with it from the
llrst , but has recently revised her laws
to favor the exportation of the product
of French factories and thus prevent the
loss of the Americjfn market by the
stimulation of the industry in Nebraska
and California. Franco now pays a
bounty of two cents pur pound.
California is counting upon a rapid
development of her sugar industry as
tlio result of the national bounty. She
already has two factories and is planning
for more. The Han FrnneNeo Chronicle
makes an interesting calculation of the
possibilities of tlio industry in this coun
try. It says :
In order to supply tlio homo demand for
sugar in our own country it would require
700 establishments similar to tlioso now in
operation at Uratul Islam ! , Neb. , ami at Al-
varndo and Watsonvlllu in tills state. .Tho
nvoniKO capital invostcd In n factory ciip.illo
ol liauillitiK : tOU tons of buots daily U .JTitKI.OOO.
Fora 100 clays' campaign ! ! 0IUO , ( tons of beets
would bo needed at a cost of nbout $ I.riO,0)0 ( )
For fuel fi.OOO tons of coal would out at least
? JK)0 ( ) , and otlior working expenses would
brlnn tlio total ouMny up to $ iwODO. : For
each establishment at least ! l,00i , ) acres of land
anil 200 men would bo needed. For tlio 700
factories needed to supply the demand of the
United States it would take ' . ' .lUO.OOO acres of
beets , and at least : . ' , ( ) ( X,00.J ) ( men would bo
needed to cultivate and harvest tno crop , the
work lasting about six months caeb year.
Each season some ? lr ( ) > ,000)00 ( ) would bo naiu
out for Ueots and ? ! I1.1MOKM ( for fuel and
working expenses , wliilo I.IO.OOJ.OO ) capital
would bo needed for the plant of the sugar
factories.
If this is Important to California it
should bo doubly interesting to Ne
braska , which is situated midway of the
continent and in n much inoro favorable
place to command the sugar trade of the
United States. The splendid develop
ment of the industry outlined above is
sure to come , but it will bo for our poo-
determine how much of it shall
como to Nebraska.

It is not probable that the killing of
the Italians at Now Orleans will bo made
a cause of serious controversy between
the governments of Italy and the United
St'itod ' , or that it will hnvo the olTcot of
impairing the friendly relations between
the two countries. The blustering of
the Italian press and populace is natural
in the circumstances , but it 1ms small
signllicnnco when weighted against the
calm nnd conservative statement of the
Italian premier In the chamber of depu
ties , which wnscntirely free from every
thing in the nature of a inoimco. It is
quite probable that the popular feeling
in Italy will for a tlmo render living
there somewhat uncomfortable for
Americans , and It will not bo surprising
if violent nets of rotaliat'oi : happen , but
it is hardly likely that the Italian government -
ornmont will assume an attitude In the
matter in the least degree hostile or
thnuituulng toward the United States ,
It may dccldo to nsk indemnity for the
families of Hiich ol thomon killed IIH ere
Italian subjects , ' any of Ilium WIMV so ,
and such a rc'inesl ' would ilotiKtow ri"
ooive the conaidorntlon Irom our govern
ment duo to Intornatlonal comity , hut it
la safe to prinlict thntthore will bo noth
ing beyond this.
There Is no question ol International
law involved In this oiTurronoo. In \ \ \ *
dispatch to ( iovonior Nit-hols. Secretary
lUamo Informed hint Unit our treaty
with Italy nuiiriintooii to the Italian
subjects domiciled in the United Slntoa
the most constant protection nnd secur
ity for their persons and property. The
federal government IH hound to insist
upon the fullllliiiont , of this obligation ,
and when it lias exerted its authority to
do this its responsibility In ended. The
government has novorackiiowli'dgeilany
legal elatiii against it for Indemnity in
the case of aliens who lost life or prop
erty through violence. Surrolary Hay
nrtl , in paying an Indemnity to relatives
of the Chinese massacred in Wyoming ,
upon an urgent dotntmd of the Chinese
minister for reparation , stated to the
minister tint bo did so purely as a
friendly act and that the yovermnont
denied the existence of any other
than n merely equitable obligation in
the matter. lie also said that this
payment of diuiingos must not be eousid-
oreil by another power as creating u
precedent to bo followed hy the United
States , for under no circumstances would
it feel bound to assuino any sim
ilar obligation , thus leaving it
clear to his successors in olllce
oitlior to maintain strictly that
demands for damages wore inadmissible ,
or , while assuming uuch an aUitinlo in
theory , to m.iko practical reparation as
a spontaneous and friendly act. It is
highly probable that In case Italy asked
for indemnity Secretary Ulaino will
maintain tlio position of his predecessor.
Meanwhile it is very much to "ho lie-
sired that tlio hot blood incited by the
Now Orleans nlTair bo allowed to cool.
Nothing will be gained by passionate
discussion of the lamentable occurrence ,
ittitl it is especially incumbent upon in
telligent Italians everywhere in the
country to discourage imprudent speech
and demonstrations on the part of tlioir
countrymen. They should give no conn-
toiiiince to the wholly unwarranted as
sumption of some of their number that
the men who lost their lives were lulled
because they were Italians , instead offer
for the reason that they wore believed
to bo assassins , As tO the lesson , it is
so plain that all can road nnd under
stand It. This country is not a safe
asylum for conspirators , whether native
or foreign born , against established
social , political and governmental insti
tutions ,
'ro / ;
It is tlio intention of tlio administra
tion to rigorously enforce the now immi
gration law which nrovides some addi
tional restrictions noon the admission of
| foreigners. This is of course to lie ex
pected and desired. 13vory law should
bo enforced , and if this principle had
been observed with respect to immigra
tion in the past there would have been
les ground for the clamor that has been
raised in favor of an extreme policy ol
restriction during the last , year or two.
The only way to determine whether a
law in wise and otijiht to ntand , or In
what particular it may require to be
changed and modified to render U unob
jectionable and useful , is by enforcing it ,
and it is for this purpose that public of
ficials are chonon. The country has had
no administration in late years that
showed a inoro conscientious recognition
of this titan the present administration
has done.
The now immigration law imposes no
conditions that will keep out foreigner- ,
who como hero freely and are compe
tent to take care of themselves. It puts
no obstacle in the way of the immigrant
who Is mentally and physically equipped
to earn his own sub.M.stonco and to bo-
coino a good etti/on , and who o clmrne-
ter is free from reproach. It proposes to
e.xeludo criminals , those who are men
tally or physically defective , and these
who come under contract to labor. It
will nho keep out paupers who may bo
shipped away from foreign countries at
public expense. The law is clear am
explicit in Us provisions and the penal
ties for its violation are such that steam
ship companies will not be likely to rut
the risk of incurring them if they are sat
istled that they will lie enforced. Hut the
ports of the country will bo as free as
over to the intelligent and capable im
migrant who comas here with a purpose
toinnko this land bis future home , to assimilate
similato with our people , to accept out
laws and institutions , and by his Indus
try and thrift to increase the producing
power and wealth of the nation. To al
such tlio law loaves the wuyopun and in
telligent and unprejudiced publicsoiiti
niont offers iv welcome. For those there
is abundant room and opportunity ,
There is likely to bo Homo falling ofl
in immigration after the newlaw begins
to bo rigorously enforced , but thus fat
in the current year there has hoonaii in
crcnso over Iho corresponding period o
last year , and the average character o
the immigrants has not improved. A
least lU.OOOmnroarrived during .lanunrj
and February than canto in during tlio
same months o ( 1S1HI , and the proportioi
of the least desirable class was mud
larger , This was to have boon oxpootec
pending the enforcement of the ne\\ \
law , and now that the authorities a
Washington have glvon notice that tlio
law is to bo put into olTect and its pro
visions fully carried out , a dec-lino in
the number and an improvement in the
character of immigrants may safely bo
counted on. There wore received Ins't
year less than half a million , and it is
highly probable that the number this
year will full considerably below that
amount.

There Is notliliie ; iiierodlblo in thU
hist report as to the Hontiinent in
I'aniullaa uovornmiMit clri'loOn the
contrary It is qullo what xvas to have
been oxpocto-.l. Tlio iwiprooiiy pint-
form of the roveriiinent party in tlio
election was not sincere. It does not
desire freer trade with this country ,
because it knows that cannot , bo obtained
without s-onio discrimination against
Kuglish interests , and this It will not
do. It will submit tv proposition to
Washington for negotiations , but on a
basis which it knows this government
will not accept. It Is ovidontthnt there
can bo no reciprocity between Canada
and the United .States while Sir John
lUacdonnld Is tit the head of atTairs in
the dominion , and it will ho only a
waste of tlmo lo enter into negotiations
on the subject. There has been no in
timation from Washington of a designer
or willingness to negotiate , mid the sub
ject ol Canadian reciprocity seems to bo
regarded In ollioinl circles there with
complete indifference.
Two north Omaha streets paved at
great expense have been ruined by the
neglect of tlio council committee , or the
chairman ot the board of public works ,
or both. A few hours' work hy the
street commissioner under the direction
of the committee on streets or the board
of public works would have saved the
city thousands of dollars , and prevented
the annoyance which the disabled
streets will cause before they can be re
paired. There is too much shifting of
responsibility in connection with oily
business. The city olllcials , respon
sible for the losses on Spalding and
Thirtieth streets , cannot escape condem
nation by attempts to prove thnt some
other branch of the city government is
to blame. The damage might have been
avoided. It ought to have been avoided.
OMAHA is well provided with street
car transportation. It has given up its
streets to the street railways without to
iniiiih as Hiking a roUun in revenue beyond -
yond that obtained from the taxation of
the tangible property of tb.o street rail
way corporations. In many cities a
iixcil rental is paid into the public treas
ury hy the owners of transportation
lines. Lti others : i certain percentage of
the profits of operating the lines is re
served to the public. It is not improper
therefore for Omaha to insist not only
upon proper service upon those lines ,
but that a system of transfers shall be
devised which will make it practicable
for eiti/.ens of one part of tlio city to
reach any other section by the payment
of one fare.
Mil. Aunt UNIT'S street railway prop
osition is all right in itself. There are
the very bast of reasons for favoring the
construction of an indepundont system
ot motor or cable lines lo South Omaha
and ever certain of the few unoccupied
streets in this city. Nevertheless , the
frier id fact remains that anv ordinance
granting1 a franchise ton street railway
corporation should bo so carefully
guarded in its terms as to provonl spec
ulators from profiting by the possession
of a franchise giving1 them control of
streets ever which they have no inten
tion to lay tracks. Give men who mean
business the fneilitiosforlmildingneeded
lines , but carefully shut out irresponsible
and insincere speculators ,

ubiquity to our police force it might pay

VeiiKOiineo istho | earliest word taught to tbo
Sicilian. To right whut ho deems his xvrotips ;
to corre'-t bis irriefs in blood and exact from
his enemy u sanguinary recompense for every
injury , Is part of his religion. As quarrel
nroso between this Si'-ilinn and that ; as
vongcuiicu xvas threatened and attempted ,
friend liounil himself to friend in a society
for mutual protectlcn. Thus onoday-adiiy
so distant , clown the centuries that only tbo
moie.st xvhisper of tradition concerning It can
bo heard-XXMS organi/yd the tlark brother
hood of the Mallu. As it groxv , as now recruits ,
foaling some private enemy anil lleemg
from some personal venuultn , joined it for
protection ; tlio Malia liecameon its o\vn purl
and on that of Its members , auKi-ossive , Its
eailior policy was protoi-lloii to its incinbors
inul revenue of their wrongs. Its Inter
ueliuns. borneoC thu pridoof secure strength ,
xvcro of an initiative sort. It took a part In
Sicilian politics und at ouo time controlled
tbo island. It bad Us orders or councils in
Uomo , on Iho mainlaiul and all ov.er Italy.
The govern mont began to fear it und many
xvere thtluxxs and frequent thu attempts to
extirpate the bloody brollierhnod tiftho.Matln.
The onlv result was to drive-it , in its moet-
iiiK'sand iictiou , into di'i-prr obscurity. It
dm not die , but rew and liourislit-d.
The members ol tlio MutU were greatly
feared. No one knew certainly , that is , in >
outsider , of Its membership. It xx-as thu
tbnsi'cnt of the onler , this matter of iiioni-
berslnp , and pruservol with niaiiydiriuiaitis. '
To violate thn Mnlia oath and iiiimo u member -
bor to an outsider was death. ' ' 'Ills [ iimlsh-

So no one , not of the Mallu , knew certainly

it was many limes Hii&pectud. A mini sup-
