plain of this should remember that in
midsummer trade is always iv.ul every

Improvements has unfavorably affected

there is now favorable piomlsu that lm-

that retailers are warranted in looking

future. Thuro is nothing discouraging
In the condition of Oaulm'a business at
present , and the outlook is entirely
favorable.
Fan ntu\r. \
The attitude of n portion of the
Canadian press in rolntlon to the do-
inn ml of the United States for n fulfill
ment of treaty obligations on the part of
the Dominion government IH essentially
unwise and impolitic. If intended as a
bluff it will certainly fall of its purpose.
A charitable view of It is that it is duo
to n narrow apprehension of the situa
tion.
tion.Tho
The sugccstlon that it is the duty of
the Dominion government to return
blow for blow IB ridiculous. In what respect -
spoct could that government retaliate
upon the United Slates with results that
would compensate for- the loss of the
valuable privileges that are accorded to
the Canadian people ? Is It not obvi
ously absurd to assume that Canada ,
which tulor present conditions is not
able to retain its population , and for
years has made llttlo material progress ,
could carry on n war of retaliation
against this country without great
dumngo to every interest ?
In the ton years from 1881 to * 1891
Canada spout $3,000,000 to secure about
000,000 immiirrants , yet in that period
her population increased lous than half
n million. She did not keep all the
immigrants she pultl for and she did not
retain the natural increase of popula
tion. Her own people came to the
United States by tens of thousands and
nro still coming. Any attempt on her part
to Inaugurate u policy of retaliation
against the United States would increase
the movement and the next two yonr.i
would witness a larger emigration from
the Dominion to this country than has
'akon place in the last ton. Of course ,
his could not happen without a damag
ing offuct- upon all tbo industrial and
material Interests of the Dominion.
The resources of government icvenuo
being thus reduced , the di-bt , which in
creased $100,000,000 In the last ten
years , would grow still moro rapidly.
In short , a commercial conlllct between
the Dominion and the United States
would inevitably result disastrously to
all Canadian interests , and while at
the sumo time it might prove bomowhnt
troublesome and inconvenient to a portion
tion of our own people it could not
possibly have any such damaging effect
upon this country as upon Canada.
The blow for blow which some of the
moro hot-hcadeU Canadian pupors coun
sel would fall with hardly pcrcuptlblo
effect upon the American people , and
then only upon a small part of thorn ,
while it. would bo foil with great sever
ity by every Canadian interest and by
the whole people of the Dominion. Wo
do not believe that the sober judgment
of the Canadians will approve entering
into such a conflict. They may bo
reluctant to concede the justice of the
American demands , but they will ulti
mately bo compelled to do so rather
than outer into a contest the effects of
which would certainly bo greatly to
their disadvantage.
A miOLKSOMK IIH1WKK.-
Mr. Powderly has written a letter to
the Journal of the Juiiyhln of Labor which
shows how little sympathy the work-
inpmun. if ho fairly represents their
views , have with the efforts that aro' '
being made by the democratic press to
create a sentiment against the republi
can pnrty on account of the troubles at
Homestead. "Partisan papers , " ho
says , "aro cndeavoringto maico political
capital out of the terrible scones which
took place at Homestead the other day.
The democratic papers are vehement in
their denunciation of the republican
party for enacting a tariff law under
which protection was afforded to manu
facturers. There is no love for workingmen -
ingmon in the hearts of these editors ;
a deslro to servo party interests alone
actuates thorn. " He then proceeds to
show that the democrats have not at
any time wbon the tariff was under dis
cussion in congress taken the ground
that- the workingmnn should share in
the profits of the employer. Ho never
was considered at all by the opponents
of protection , and not a word did they
over say in his behalf. "Tho Pinker-
tons , " says Mr. Powdorly , ' 'existed before
fore the Mills bill was introduced in
congress , and that institution continues
to llourish now that the McKinley bill
is in force. Whether the tariff wont up
or down disputes between employer and
employed would continue. "
Of course , this sheds no now light upon
the subject , for all enlightened and
sensible people have taken the sumo
view , but It is rather significant that
Mr. Powdorly , representing more than
any other man the views and sentiments
of the laboring mn-sos , should so
squnroly nnd emphatically repudiate
the Idea that politics or administrative
policy had anything to do with the
difficulty at Homestead. His rebuke to
the democratic demagogues ought to do
some pood. It will not bo llkoly to
diminish the number of their lies , but
it may lesson the number of their
listeners in the ranks of labor.

It is shown by the report of the bureau
of statlbtlcs for the past fiscal year that
although the merchandise imports of
the entire country were less by 817,000 ,
000 than for the preceding fibcal year
the impo-ts at Now York were within
about $1,000,000 of last yoar's tola1 ,
whllo at Philadelphia and Hoston the
imports slightly exceeded those of the
last Usual yo.tr. A slight decline is
shown at the ports of Baltimore , Now
Orleans , San Francisco , and nt eomo
others of loss importance , the imports of
Now Orleans being lo by about 81,000-
000 than for the previous year , Baltimore
by 87,000,000 nnd San Francisco by
$ U,000,0 ' 0. At the southern ports the
Imports were about $8,000,000 less than
in the previous year , but the Imports at
Now OrloanH , which had in the preced
ing fiscal year been hardly equal to
those of Oultlmoro , oxcoodud these of
the latter port by $5,000,000 , while an
increase was shown at Galveston and
Bomo other minor ports.
On the Pacific coast the imports were
about 83,000,000 behind these of the pre
vious yoar. Of the total of $827,800,000
of merchandise Imports for the yonr
Now York had $5J,500,000 ! ( ) , Boston
$71,700,000 , Philadelphia 300,000,000 and
San Francisco $17,100,000.
The exports aggregated $1,030,800,000
ns compared with $88UOO,000 last yoar.
Now York's share of this was $418,000-
000 against $310,500,000 last year ; Now
Orleans , $181200CCO as comp irod with
8)00,100,000 ) ; K.Utlmoro , $08,800,000 as
compared with $ Q1-100,000 ; Boston , $87-
100,000 as compared with 977,000,0 0 ;
Philadelphia , ? 38,600,000 as compared
with $33,000,000 ; San Francisco , 810,700-
000 as compared with S40,100,000 , nnd
( Jnlvcston , $3-3,300,000 as compared with
$33,700,000. The total Increase in experts -
ports from southern ports was a little less
than $40,000,000.
The i'aclllo coist exports show slight
increases over these of the preceding
year , amounting In the aggregate to
moro than $3,000,000. At three ports ,
Now York , Philadelphia and San Fran
cisco , the imports exceeded the exports.
The exports of southern ports continue
to greatly exceed imports , owing chiolly
to the foreign demand for American
cotton and the comparatively small de
mand in the south for European pro
ducts. The total southern exports are
about three times as great as the im
ports.
The figures presented show that the
United States is carrying on an enor
mous foreign trade , which is Increasing
rapidly every yoar.

It Is evident that the sugar trust , like
all ether combinations of capitalists for
the purpose of controlling the market
and keeping up the prices of commodi-
tlos , is destined to meet with formidable
opposition that will ooonor or later de
feat Its plans. The rapid growth of the
boot sugar Interest in Nebraska and the
establishinont of two largo refineries in
this state , which are entirely independ
ent of the trust , is ono stop in the diroc-
t'on indicated , but there are other nnd
far moro important forces at work
whinh may prove to bo powerful oppo
nents of the great sugar combine. An
association of Cuban sugar planters has
been formed which will establish an
oxtonslvo relining business in the
United St-itos. It is expected that largo
rofinorioa will bo built in Philadelphia
and Now York , backed by all the capi
tal that will bo required to muko them
successful. A representative of the
Cuban sugar men , who is now in this
country , is quoted as saying that the
now combination , although it has only
one-third ns imfoh capital as the supar
trust , will bo nblo to make ns much
sugar as the latter and compete with it
in the market.
There is at present no combination
of capital moro powerful than the
sugar trust. It remains to bo seen
whether the Cuban producers who
propose to establish refineries in this
country will soil out to the trust or not.
It is highly probable that they will dose
so unless they can &eo the way clear to
the building up of a business by which
they can iniko moro nionoy than the
trust will p-vy them to get out of the
way. The fact that the greater part of
tlio capital ot the Cubans will bo raised
in this country affords some reason for
suspicion that American speculators
will control the enterprise and that they
will turn over the now rollnorios to the
old combine as soon as they can find it
profitable to do so. The only ro.il prom
ise of relief from the monopoly lies in
the growth of the smaller refineries ,
some of which have already assumed
considerable proportions.
TUB iniiWAriox QUISTIOX.
The prospuet of legislation at the
present session of congress for the irri
gation nnd reclamation of arid lands is
not so favomblo ns could bo desired.
Bills for this purpose have boon intro
duced into both houses of congress and
the subject has received a great deal of
discussion , but it appears to present dif
ficulties which the congressional mind
cannot easily cope with , to say nothing
of the projudiccs which stand in the
way of a wise and practical solution of
the problem. A thorough and compre
hensive investigation of the question is
certainly to bo desired , but it would
seem that aftqr all that has been said on
ovoiy side of It there oupht to bo a very
full and intelligent understanding of
what is necessary. Yet the fact is that
congress seems to bo as far from com
prehending thn situation and its demands -
mands ns it has over boon.
As was said by Senator Wnrron of
Wyoming in a speech in the United
States senate n few days ago , irrigation
and reclamation of land is almost a lifo
nnd death matter with the residents of
the arid states. The development of
the vast raining interests of the country
depends , in a great measure , said the
senator , upon the ability of those em
ployed therein to obtain the necessities
of lifo at reasonable prices. Referring
to the objection to the reclamation of
the arid lands that such an increase in
the productive capacity of the west
must result in injury to the dwellers of
the elder portion of the country by un
duly increasing agricultural produc
tions , Senator Warren forcefully said :
"This is the same spirit which has
sought to retard the progress of inven
tion and of development throughout the
hlbtory of civilization. " Opposition
manifested toward the spread of irriga
tion and reclamation of the arid lands
Is of the same kind that originally
denounced the reaper , the sowing ma-
chlno and other labor-saving devices
when they were first introduced. Ob
jections to the reclamation of arid
lands , " continued the senator , "aro
not only untenable from an economic
standpoint , but they are not founded
on justice and fair dealing. " The great
fact to bo berne In mind is , that there
now remains of the publio domain
scarcely any available land capable of
producing crop ? without Irrigation and
the axpendlturo of largo sums of money
before any return can bo received from
the land. The settler upon the publio
domain today Is obliged to comply with
the same laws nnd regulations as the
homesteader who , a few years ago ,
entered land worth ton to fifty times as
much per aero. A family , said Sonntor
Warren , cannot support themselves
now and prove up upon n homestead
until Bomo provision for water and
irrigation is made. "Thoro Is no
equity In this. The government owes
it to the youngest sons of the nation
that they bo glvon some of the benefits
accorded to their fathers. "
The fact bolng admitted that the pub
lic lands outsldo of the arid domain tire
practically exhausted , the question us
to what shall bo done with the vast area
that can bo roHQOred available for sot-
Moment by Irrlg/njjon / presses for answer.
Ono of two toitys must bo adopted.
Wither the gflvni-nmont must provide
for the reclamafton of the arid lands or
they will have to bo coded to the states
to bo roclalmod def uondltlons which
will insure th.vtjrjjsulu There nro very
fo.\vad\'ocato3 \ of the first of these plans ,
the general vjfyjg bolng that the true
policy Is to code til a lands to the states
and require thrftlf to Institute and carry
out a thoraughj tcm of irrigation , the
govorinnont retaining such control of
the sources of wlitnr supply as to prevent -
vent conflicts between states or the
monopoli/.ing of the water supply by
private corporations. A practical solu
tion of this question is certainly poasl-
blo , and it would seem that it could bo
as well reached at this session of congress -
gross as nt some futufo time.

It Is good news not only to these di
rectly interested in the paolclng intnr-
csts at South Omaha , but to this whole
community , that the differential rate
heretofore enforced by the Santa Fo
Ilailroad company on p.icklnphouse
products has bcon abolished , and that
the local p-.icltors arc thereby placed on
an cqml footing with itansas City in
respect to rates tosouthorn points. The
South Omaha packers have done a largo
southern business in competition with
Kansas City , but their profits have boon
reduced by high freight charges. They
will now do moro business and at hotter
margins of profit.
The cut on live stock rtttos from In
dian Territorywhich was inaugurated a
few weeks ago by tha Rock Island , by
which the cost of transporting southern
cattle to this market was reduced from
$20 to $12.50 per p.ir , w.ia a distinct gain
for South Omaha. The Santa Fo and
the Missouri Pacific followed the exam
ple of the Rock Island , as was expected ,
and now the South Omaha unekors are
beginning to realize substantial benefits
from the reduction. These improve
ments in railroad rates will decidedly
stimulate the packing business , which
wad steadily and rapidly growing even
under the disadvantages imposed by
high rates of transportation.
AN ARTICLE in tlio Engineering
JlonlliJij by G. E Curtis of the Smith
sonian Institution entitled "Facts About
Ralumnking" is a very thorough explosion -
plosion of the theory of General Dryou-
forth and others \yho claim to bo able to
make rain to orddr. The writer says :
"Examined in detail , with all the cir
cumstances botli of the operators and of
the wenthor recorded , it is evident that
the experiments have utterly failed to
demonstrate that explosions can develop
a storm or produce a mcosurablo rain. "
But another appropriation has been
mudo for the government experiments
under Dryonforthb * supervision and the
work will bo continued. The real busi
ness , however , is being done by the pri
vate rainmakers , the ' 'professors' ' who
are making contracts with western
farmers at so many thousand dollars per
shower. These men are wise in their
generation. They know that in tlio
nnturo of things it is bound to rain
sooner or later in any gtvon locality.
Leaving cause and ollpct out of consid
eration entirely , they are sure to win in
the game of chance which they are
playing. When they fail they lose
nothing ; when they succeed that is ,
when they happen to bo operating
where the rain falls they win the
amount stipulated. It is a great busi
ness.
- COMPTROLLER OI.SEN is credited
"with the suggestion , that whatever
amount may be loft in the city hall fund
bo used in purchasing oil portraits of
city officials. The idea is to hang these
portraits in the council chamber.
Without considering- merits of this
proposition , THE BEE recommends that
the matter bo turned to the wall until it
Is fully shown that any portion of the
city hall fund will bo loft uuused when
the building is completed. Such a
happy outcome would of course bo extra
ordinary and might call for hilarious
celebration.
OMAHA will pivo hospitable enter
tainment to the Shrinors and Knights
Templar who will visit the city next
month. That is now practically assured.
All the funds necessary for this purpose
have not yet been secured , but no doubt
is entertained that a sufficient sum will
bo subscribed. The proper entertain
ment of the Masonic visitors is dictated
by considerations both of duty nnd inter
est. They are people who know how to
appreciate hospitality and whoso good
'
opinion is worth having. '

That wild nntl wolrd nolso coming from
the south Is nothing alarming. It U simply
Hon. Thomas Major * engaged In the net of
gnashing bis tooth.
Mr. Majors captured the dolocntos from
bis own county yesterday , but there were
several other con vontlous held that so'.cctod
delegations to the state convention which
the Peru statesman does not own , Cass
county declared for Lawson bUoldou , nnd
Tom was "sure of C s s. "
tionnral Van Wyck made a flying trip to
Omaha last night.
Ho alighted from n motor train nt Six
teenth and Fnrnnm street ) nnd bald n con
ference with D. Clom Doavor on the corner.
Soou bo was Joined by flvo newspaper
men.
men.Ho
Ho said ho wouldn't rldo in Tun DKR ele
vator this trip.
Ho believed Tun Biii ! had made n mlstAKo
In quoting n follow named Agor. Ho didn't
know any such man. Didn't TUB Ben moan
Ageot
The hot weather was making corn curl a
llttlo , but there wiw still raolsturo nt tbo
roots of the plants.
Wbon bo said that Burrows was "tho
meanest man Oed over lot live , " ho didn't
mean It for publication , ' Ho never mo.tut to
mention such people fn public.
Ho rather hoped Tom Majors would bi )
nominated for governor.
It was too hot for anybody to campaign
Just now.
After n few other remarks bearing on the
sumo subject the general shook hands with
Tom Orr of the Union Pacific , wbo Invited
him to "como down nnd forngo on the anomy. "
Then ho bada the boys good evening and
sold ho was going to return to his Otoo
county farm. Ho had only como to Omaha
tor a rest.
Colonel Jay Burrows can no lougor boast
of bis mortgaged farm in Gage county. On
Monday Mr. Burrows mndo a pllgrimngo
from Lincoln to Beatrice , and upon arrival
In tbo capital of Uapo bo utonco bled himself
to the clerk's oftlco , whcro ho filed a release
of tbo mortgage which hai enthralled htm.
Although Mr. Burrows is out of tbo news
paper business ho scorns to bo able to make
a dollar or two in solto of his arduous duties
as a latter writer.
But if reports nro to bo bcllovcd Mr. Bur
rows bad still another object in view when
ho visited Beatrice. The Gage county dele
gation to the Independent state convention is
instructed for Van Wvck. After bo had
scon bis mortgage release properly recorded
Mr. Burrows wont out to see delegates , aim
when ho saw them ho began to talk "har
mony. " Harmony was the essential thing
to secure success for the Independents in tha
coming campaign. Thcro was only ono
brand of harmony tbat would do , and that
was the anti-Van Wyck kind. Mr. Bur
rows tried to make this plain to the dele-
"gates , but some of thorn were too mulUh to
suit tbo hnnnonlzor. It is bcllovcd that Mr.
Burrows' endeavor to kill two birds with ono
stone on the trip proved an ignominious
failure.
Tbo nomination of Dr. Koipar for congress
by the Third district democrats Is said to
have caused a good deal of blttor feeling
among tbo bourbons in different parts of the
district. Kcipor Is too much of a fraa silver
man nnd anti-monopolist to suit the Dodge
county crowd. Ho has been in tbo legisla
ture for three terms end has always returned
tbo railroad passes sent him. As a consequence
quence ho Is referred to as a "crank" by a
portion of bis own partassociates. . The
doctor Is a pollshod gentleman and has trav
eled extensively in this country and in Eu-
reDO , but bo will stay at homo when the
next congress assembles nnd will not visit
Washington to see Congressman Mi'ildcjohn
tnko his scat.
Peter Youngors , Jr. , of Genoa spent yester
day in Omaha , nnd it is quietly hinted that
he has sot tbo pin a for securing tbo Douclas
county delegation to favor his candidacy for
state troasutor. Mr. Youngors has a brother
in Omaha who is helping tbo boom along.
"Thoro Is a prevailing nnd growing opin
ion thao the republican nominee for governor
will boll from Omaha , that is if the repub
licans of that city can ogroo upon n candi
date who can command the confidence of the
party , " says the Kearney Hub. "Tho pre
ponderance of sentiment In Omaha appar
ently runs to Crounso. Ho will have a strong
load ( or the nomination , and the fact that , be
halls from Omaha will not count against him
not this year. Tbero is no unti-Omaba
sentiment now. " Tbo Kearney Hub is
printed In a county which Tom Majors
claims to own.
Beatrice republicans uro making extensive
preparations to localro Governor McKinley
Augusts. The ratlio-ids will make reduced
rates and It is expected that a great gather
ing of people will n.ssomblo to hoar the eminent
nont advocate of protection.
Mr. II , K. Doran , editor ot thn Valparaiso
Visitor , said jostorday that politicians wore
becoming quite natlvo down nt his neck of
the woods. Mr. Doran has long been n re
publican and gives It as his opinion that Tom
Majors will not bo nblo to muster much
otrongth In the convention and would never
bo clouted If nominated. Mr. Dornn taj
that the tompsr of the farmers In hM locality
hns undergone some cbango the past year
and that there nro not n few of thorn who
have become a llttlo bit tlrort of the Inde
pendent , party , or rather of some of tha
would-bo Independent loaders. Ho y * that
If the republicans nro onroful to put up K
good strong republican who nossosso. * thn
conlldunco of the farmers , that ho Trill b
