In various portions of Kuropc , so that
American corn meal will coon bo Intro
duucd as tut article of food among people
who Imvo hitherto known nothing of It.
It will prove a cheap and wholesome
food for the puor laboring man who , In
E opcnn countries , U too often obllgoi
to Hvu upon Huunty faro. IIo will tint
that American corn , in various forms o
preparation for the table , Is both palat
able and wholesome. It gives heat urn

the laboring men of Europe are particu
larly In need of.
TIIK TARIFF AS AN ISSUE.
Senator Vest of Missouri made a
speech In the sonata on Monday in
vhlch ho departed from the measure
under consideration long enough to dis
cuss partisan politics n little. IIo said
that ho was for tarlil reform and that It
was not his purpose to bow to the will of
.ho national democratic convention to
bo hold ntr Chicago. lie hold litmaoU
responsible only to the democrats of
Missouri. The tariff and not the silver
question was , In his opinion , the chief
issue before the country. "Wo won
upon it In 1800 , " ho said , "and the one-
mlcs of the McKInley act can win upon
It In 1892. "
There Is an apparent Inconsistency in
, ho senator's remarks on this subject.
When ho says that ho will not bow to
, ho will of the national convention of
its party ho seems to Imply very plainly
-hac ho is In doubt as to what that con
vention will do about the tariltquestion.
If ho entertains a doubt of this kind it Is
not easy to sco how ho can bo so positive
that the democratic party could win by
making tho-tariff an issue and waging a
Avar upon the MoKlnloy act. IIo do-
claroa that ho is responsible only to the
democracy of his own state. IIo Is loyal
to what ho bollovos to bo the highest In-
Lorost of the democrats of Missouri for
ho docs not mention the people who nro
not democrats. But will not ether load
ers of his party fool obliged , upon the
same grounds , to stand by what they
conceive to bo the interests of their re
spective states ? Not all democrats are
free traders , and there are some states
In the union where oven the democrats
mo = > t loyal to their party need a great
deal of whipping In to keep thorn from,1
supporting n protective tariff. If it
were not for the fact that protection
happens to bo distinctively a republican
measure it would bo favored by a very
hit go niMnbor of democrats who now oppose -
pose it upon the general principle that
democrats most oppose- whatever repub
lican ? approve.
It is not by any means certain that the
democratic party will bo a unit In oppo
sition to the MeKinloy tariff law. It is
true , as Senator Vest says , that the
parties are more evenly divided upon
this than upon the silver issue , but it
will bo found ns the contest progresses
that n very largo number of democrats
will refuse to bo counted in favor of free
trade. Comparatively few men are BO
devoted to tholr party ns to lose sight
of their personal interests , and it is nb-
urd to suppose that a personal interest
in the protection of homo industries is
wholly confined to one political party.
That democrats have very generally
followed the line of policy laid dotvn by
the platforms of their party is undonin-
blo , but it is not to bo assumed that they
will always do so. Senator Vest oven
seems to bo In doubt as to what the Chicago
cage convention will do In regard to this
question , which ho thinks is the only
one upon which nn issue can bo mado.
lie says that ho is responsible only to
the democrats of his own state. Will
not , ether loaders of democratic opinion
throughout the country bo governed in
like manner by local considerations ?
Missouri democrats undoubtedly want
free trade , but it is nn unfortunate oir-
curnstnnco for the party that influential
Interests in ether states would squarely
oppose the adoption of this policy by the
democratic national convention. It will
bo adopted , without doubl , but will it
win the solid support of the party ? Of
course there are homo republicans who
for personal reasons do not favor the
present tariff law as u whole , but the
division in the democratic ranks on this
subject will bo much more serious than
it can possibly be among the republicans.
If It is true , as Senator Vest says , that
this is the only issue , it Jls evident that
his party is at a disadvantage.
AN ATTACK ON RBClPltOOlTr.
The speech of SonatorTurplo of In
diana in the United States senate a few
days ago , attacking the republican
policy of reciprocity , is perhaps to bo re-
gnrdcd as foreshadowing the position
that will bo taken by the Chicago con
vention rogardlncr that plan for increas
ing the foroigit commerce of the coun
try. Of the speech of the Indiana
senator it is sutllclont to say that Its
only slKnificanco or importance is the
added evidence It supplied of the oppo
sition of the democratic party to reci
procity. It presented no argument
which has any force when arrayed
against the practical results of the appli
cation of the now commercial policy , nor
has any democrat who 1ms ventured to
attack reciprocity been able to present
any valid reason for his opposition.
The two democratic loaders most
prominent in public attention have expressed -
pressed themselves regarding reci
procity. In his now almost forgotten
speech at Elralra , N. ST. , some months
ago , in which ho attempted to define Ills
position respecting the tarllT and the
silver questions , Senator David Bennett
Hill declaiod reciprocity to bo a "sham
and a humbug. " Mr. Cleveland , In his
address to the democrats of Uhodo
Island , was not so plain and unequivocal
In his criticism , but what ho said loft no
doubt that the policy does not enjoy his
favor. Every democratic convention of
the year has had something to say
hostile to reciprocity. It Is , therefore ,
entirely safe to predict that the national
democratic convention will antagonize
this policy and that the party will go
Into the presidential campaign with a
platform declaring against It ,
The republican party is fully prepared
to welcome such an issue. It has all the
argument and all the facts on ils side.
Its claim that reciprocity has boon a
notable success can bo substantiated by
reference to practical results that are
beyond * dispute , und if testimony bo
w.intod regarding the Influence it has
oxoi ted in the Interest of American
commerce , thogovornmontsof Germany ,
franco and Austria-Hungary can fur
nish It. Nothing can bo more 'certain
than the fact that the adoption of this
policy was very largely instrumental In
Inducing the governments of Germany
and Franco to revoke the regulations
which for years had kept our hog pro
ducts out of the markets of those coun
tries , and to make other Important and
valuable concessions respecting the Im
portation of American agricultural pro
ducts , tyiropoan statesmen have
frankly acknowledged the wisdom of the
United button In adopting' reciprocity ,
and European governments have done
honor to our example by proposing to
follow It The addition to our foreign
commerce , dirootly duo to this policy. ,
already amount3 to many millions of
dollars , and there is every assurance of
a vastly greater Increase In the future.
It Is a distinctively American policy ,
aggressive and far-renchlng a- policy
entirely consistent with the protection
of American industries nnd American
labor and if maintained it will inevit
ably place the United States far In ad
vance of every ether nation In commer
cial power.
It Is hardly questionable that a largo
majority of the intelligent voters of the
country are in favor of reciprocity. It
appeals to the interests of the agricul
tural producers , In whoso behalf It was
conceived , and it claims the support also
} f the manufacturers nnd of those who
labor In manufacturing Industries. In
short , every producing interest in the
nation that contributes to the commerce
of the world is concerned in the maintenance -
tonanco and success of this policy. It
Is Inimical only to the system of free
trade , and it is for this reason that it is
Opposed by the democratic party.
Tin : FOOD FISH SWM.K
When an Omaha man orders a fresh
fish for his Friday dinner ho probably
does not often ask himself or anybody
else where it was caught. IIo is pretty
sura that It did not coino out of the Mis
souri river , if ho stops to think about it ,
but UinM , is only a negative. As a. matter -
tor of fact the trout or wjiltollsh that
graces his table and tempts his appo-
tlto is almost certain to bo a product of
the great hikes , and in moat cases it
will bo found to have como hero from
Chicago.
Voiy few people know that the fisher
ies of the great lakes are the most extensive -
tensive in the world. 'They extend ever
a shore line of 3,500 miles. According
to statistics from the census bureau the
catch In those lakes from 1880 to 1890
was ever 1,000,000,000 pounds , which
yielded the fishermen more than 825-
000,000. About 7,000 people are engaged
in the business of catching fish in thcso
lakes , and the total investment in fish
ing property is not loss than $2,852,959.
Since 1880 lake trout have incro.isod in
Ihoso waters 04.02 per cont. The re
turns show a decrease in the whitefish
catch of 28.59 per cent. This decrease
is shown in all the lakes except Lake Su
perior , where there has been nn in
crease. Herring are moro plentiful
than any ether variety of fish , and great
numbers of them are marketed every
year. The great decrease of trout nnd
whitefish in some of the Inkos has occa
sioned alarm among the fishermen , but
this will undoubtedly bo remedied by
the efforts of the fish commissions ,
which are Inking stops to replenish the
watoid that have boon depleted. The
whole country that depends upon the
great lakes for its fish supply will bo In
terested in the work which the commis
sioners are doing.
TUB AKAItCUlST AND TIW
MAN.
It is interesting to note that the Chicago
cage anarchists nro appealing through
tholr friends to the labor organizations
of the country for release from prison.
The public has not yet forgotten the
shocking crimes of these Haymarkot
assassins and it seems absurd that they
should ask for influence in tholr behalf
from thovery _ mon most interested in
"
having "thorn punished. Members of
labor organizations have already suf
fered enough in consequence of the
violent domonstrntionb and . criminal
acts of the anarchists. Unfortunately
those mon who defy law and order and
make war unon society have allied
themselves with organized labor and
have sot themselves up as champions of
the interests and rights of the toiling
masses. It la not strange , therefore ,
that honest and law-abiding workingmen -
men have thus been made the instru
ments of scoundrels who have nothing
in common with thorn and who have only
sought the shelter of tholr organizations
in order to moro successfully carry on
tholr crusade against the established
order of things * The resnoctablo labor
organizations of the country now fully
understand the purposes of the an
archists and realize that they are
enemies to honest labor in so far as
they are foes to Society.
There is good reason to hope that the
anarchist has had his brief day in this
country. IIo certainly cannot stand
alone , and if the labor organizations
ignore him ho will soon sink out of
sight. Ho is not a friend of labor ; on
the contrary , ho is an enemy to every
interest of the honest laboring man.
The anarchistic notion that tno workingmen -
ingmen must bo uplifted by killing the
capitalist is pretty thoroughly exploded
in this country. Our labor organiza
tions ns a rule are controlled by an In
telligent conception of the relations be
tween hvbor nnd capital , and whenever
they consider themselves aggrieved they
will quietly appeal to the publio senti
ment and lot the anarchists alone. They
can lose nothing by such a course.
SOUTH OMAHA'S I'llOOItCSS.
There have boon rare examples of a
substantial and permanent prosperity
more remarkable than that of South
Omaha. The report just submitted by
the special committee of the Board of
Trade shows a material growth in the
comparatively brief period of eight
years which certainly warrants the
title of Magic city. There is now
claimed for South Omaha a population
of 12,000 und a business amounting
to $50,000,000 annually. The packing
industry , which auppllos this business ,
has boon growing steadily from year to
your , and it is certain to Increase In the
yo'ara to come if the supply territory
which should bo tributary to South
Omaha Is made accessible. The only
difficulty to bo overcome Is that of in
adequate railroad communication with
portions of the contiguous country where
moat supplies are to bo had , which now
go to Chicago und ether packing points.
This is the one grout obstacle In the way
of South Omaha attaining to second
place ns a packing center , und thereby
doubling Us business , Us population and
its wealth. An opportunity la presented
to remedy this dlfiloulty , and the people
of South Omaha may eufoly bo counted
upon to declare almost unanimously in
favor of the Nebraska Central project ,
the succois of which would give that
city the railroad facilities It requires.
The material pro'p ' oss ot South Omaha
must always contribute to the pros
perity of Omaha" ' T"ho commercial In
terests of Iho two ottlos nro Inseparably
connected. Thcy nro , In every prac
tical sense , one community , and ills un
doubtedly only a question of time when
they will bo under ono municipal
Government. At'any rate the people of
Omaha rejoice in Ao7growth | and pros
perity of the youngqr community nnd
will donv them no alfl necessary to pro *
mete tholr future 'advancement.
THE re publicans" of1 Ohio cannot com
plain that they have ° not received ndo-
quato recognition 'at" hands of the
representatives of the republicans
of the rest of the country assem
bled at Minneapolis. With Governor
McKluloyns permanent chairman of the
national convention and ox-Governor
Fornkor ns chairman of the committee
on resolutions the Buckeye state has
certainly boon duly honored. The se
lection of Governor McKInley , which
was made without the least contest , was
a marked compliment to that distin
guished republican loader which Is un
derstood to bo duo to.tho general recog
nition of his fairness and Imwartlullty.
Ho is a pronounced supporter of Harri
son , but the friends of other candidates
knew that as chairman of the conven
tion ho could bo rolled upon to treat all
sides fairly , and it is entirely safe to say
that the result will show this confidence
to be well founded. Chairman McKinley -
ley will bo faithful to the candidate of
his choice , but ho will take no unworthy
advantage of those who prefer another
candidate. It Is in place hero to ob
serve that ho Is fully equipped tor per
forming the duties of a presiding ofllcor ,
and no man would bo moro llkoly to
firmly .hold the , convention to the busi
ness in hand.
Tin : suggestion that in a certain con
tingency the Hill support in Now York
might go to William C. Whitney , who
was secretary of the navy in the admin
istration of President Cleveland , Implies
that in the event of Hill withdrawing
from the contest ho would have no influ
ence in determining who his supporters
should pui forward , for it Is hardly prob
able ho would select Mr. Whitney us his
political legatee. That gentleman Is too
closely identified with Mr. Cleveland to
bo acceptable to Hill under tiny circum
stances. There is said to bo a very friend
ly fooling in Tammany toward Whitney ,
however , and it is just possible that con
ditions might nriso which would lead
that organization to trivo him its sun-
port The chances of tills , however , nro
extremely small arid remote.
THE council has authorized the city
attoi-noy to settle tlio 810,000 suit
brought by Lizzie Richards for in

is a good sottloment-for the city , and the
taxpayers have rcds n to , congratulate
themselves upon cutting off so easily ,
but it should bo bornoin mind that it is
easier und bettor Inovory way to prevent
such accidents than. t\o \ pay for thorn
even on such favorable1 terms. The unsafe -

tondnd to moro carefully than they are.
A largo amount of work in that line
could bo done for 82,500.
