Now the sound money democrats in congress threaten to deprive ex-Speaker Crisp of the honor of a unanimous en dorsement for tht' empty honor of the democratic vote for the spt-akership. Why not all the democrats vote for Mr. Heed for speaker and thus avoid fac tional quarrels In their own ranks ? Where was Councilnrin Kcnnard when that little bill of SIM ) was allowed liy the council for the carriages In which the police olllcers rode from poll to pollen on election day ?

The success that has lately crowned the prosecution of a number of the most notorious murderers of recent times Is onroiirnKliitf to those who were almost persuaded to condemn our system of jury trials In criminal cases.

IT Mt - s7'if in , s7'om/ > It Is noted ns a M.miltlfant fnct that the most Intlncntlnl cxp.trl inercluinls i of the CIIH | hnvo declared In favor of n renewal of the reciprocity twit I CM which the last republican administration ne- Kollalcd and established with the South nnd Central American republics , the West India colonies ami a number of Kmopean nation * . It 1 Intimated that manufacturers In all parts of the country , jvho especially felt the bcni-tl- cent effect of reciprocity ami who keenly feel the results of diminished I nidi * In consequenceof the present policy , will Join In the demand for ihe restoration of republican reciprocity. It can be said with perfect coniMciicc that tin ? sentiment amoti the njit'i- cultural producers of the country Is practically unanimous In favor of a renewal of that policy , so that all In terests are united upon the proposition that this plan 'of extending and en- larnin the export trade of tin * Tnlled States should be nualn adopted and ad- lieioil l . That the democratic parly made a very grave blunder in abandoning the policy of reciprocity no public man or newspaper whose opinion isvnrlliy of serious consideration now question- * . What this country has ! o t I'mm tin- abrogation of Ihe reelproeily agree ments cannot lie exactly demonsraicii. ! but it undoubtedly would hi * expressed In figures representing lens of millions , while there has also been a great sacri fice of confidence and prestige. There are statistics to show that the policy of commercial expansion Inaugurated by Ihe last republican administration re sulted In very material beiiellt to the agricultural and manufacturing inter ests of the United States. Our export trade with most of the countries with which we made reciprocity agreements was Increased and at the time those agreements were abrogated was mak ing progress. It Is to no purpose to say that the results up to flint time weiv not. as a whole , all that had been ex pected. It Is snllleient to know that they fullllled. in the main , the promise of the advocates of this policy and gave every assurance of growth. There wis not. a circumstance or condition during Ihe time that reciprocity was in force which went to show that It was not an entirely sound , wise and statesmanlike policy , certain , if maintained , to eventually give the I'nlled States a larger share of the trade of South and Central America and the West India colonies than it lias ever enjoyed , if not to give us a dominating commercial influence and prestige in the southern ontinent The effect of abandoning reciprocity has not only been to lose .ill that was gained while that policy was in operation , but also fo Impair the confidence in us of the people of the southern countries , which will render It less easy to make , agreements with them in future. With the popular sentiment unmis takably hi favor of n renewal of reci procity tills question cannot fall to hi- [ iromiucnl In the next presidential ampaign , and in the event of the elec tion of a republican'congress and presl- lent one of the first duties of the party will be to provide legislation that will igain put the I'nlted Slates in closer rade relations with all countries that lesire it. bill especially with the Span- sh-Amerlcaii countries. The republican > arly can uiuke no mistake hi putting forward commercial reciprocity as one 1 its cardinal principles , and there is very probability flint it will do so , for hat policy appeals to every Interest , to the agricultural producer not less than to the manufacturer. t\irr//J / Axn MKAT K The c.it tie and meat exports of the I'nlted States to Knrope , for the eight months ending with August , make a very good showing , in view of the dis crimination against them by the conti nental countries. The value of cat lie ind sailed and fresh beef imported into ( treat Itrltnlii from this country during the first eight months of the current vear was less than for the correspond- ng period of last year , but greater than for the lirst eight mouths of 1SK1 ! , while the prices of American beef in the Hrlt- sh markets held up very well with UK prices of the domestic product , while tiling higher than Canadian beef. Our sports of hog products to the I'lilted [ Clngdom were larger in amount dur- ug the first eight months of the cur- ent year than for the corresponding icriod In IS:1 ! ) : and 18I ! ) , but less In value. With regard to the future of this trade ho" secretary of agriculture does not told out altogether encouraging prom- se , owing to the growth of competition. .He stales that Argentina has become he most formidable beef-selling com. x-tltor of the I'lilled Stales in the world's markets , and ( his is shown by lie fact that within the last three years hat country has Increased Its exports if cattle nearly live fold , or from less him ( i , ( 0i ( head to over 25,0K ( ) , and there s no doubt that its trade in this direr- ion will continue. The meat Is Inferior o that exported from the I'nlted Stales , nit an Improvement In quality Is rcu sonably to be expected. There is also ncreaslng competition from Australia , but 11 is likely to be a long time before Ids is seriously fell , though as the see- etary of agriculture says , Americans annot congratulate themselves upon laving no competition In the future from Australian cattle and their iroducts In the markets of Kuropc. In > ork products the I'nlted States Is oi > . ounterlng a steady growing competition rom the increasing number of packing louses on the continent , our most for- nldable competitor being Denmark , vhlch produces a Imeoii that s said to bo constantly grow- ng in favor with European oiihiimers. Secretary Morton says that Vmerlcan packers can only obtain ami told Kngllsh and other Knropcan bacon mirketu by specially preparing their neats to meet the taste and demand of hose markets. The outlook for the American export radii In cattle and meats Is certainly lot so bright us could be desired , but It H to be hoped that In the not remote iiture our government will be able to ave removed the barriers which keeps Ills trade'out of a large part of Knropu nml thus give It n new impetus. The ac complishment of tills , however , cannot be expected for several years , and It Is to be apprehended tlmt meanwhile the trade will experience n considerable falling off. wnr 70 The efforts of the Omaha Jobbers to extend the wholesale trade of this city are commendable. With concerted action all along the line there Is no ilotOif that Omaha will be able not only to hold the trade of the territory al ready tributary but to enlarge Its trade urea and compete successfully with Its commercial rlvaK The jobbing trade Is. however , not as Important a factor In the promotion of the growth and piosperlty of this clt.\ as are its manufactures and retai trade. As a ela < s the Jobbers | WJ veiy little money into local circuit ! tiou. They employ a comparative.1 ! small number of people , they pay tin lowest rents , and have little patronage for any one In Omaha , excepting tin hunks anil the railroads. It goes without saying that factories ami mills arc tin * heaviest contributors to tin wages fund , which gives vitality to all branches of local trallle. The need of Om.iha today Is enterprises that will give steady employment to bread-win- uers and Improved facilities for bring ing the people on the farms and In the neighboring towns Into closer commer cial communion with Omaha. Within a'ratlltts of lifty miles there are , exclusive of .South Omaha ami Council I ( lull's , over . " . ( MI.OOO people who could and should be made to look to this city as the market In which to sell and buy. This result can be effected by , Hrsi. Improved suburban service on ex isting railroads , and , second , the con struction of electric tramways that will give Omaha retailers the benefit of ni'ire frequent trains In and out of the city than could be expected of the rail roads. With a half dozen electric roads reaching out fifty miles In every direc tion on both sides of the Missouri the retail trade of Omaha would soon double ami treble. That alone would restore real estate values ami the de mand for business sites and buildings. That suburban tramways can be made self-supporting we have no doubt. The capital required for their construction will be secured whenever Investors arc convinced that they will earn fair in- lerest on their money. To convince capitalists of the desirability of thesi investments Omaha capital must make ihe beginning ! The dilllculties in tin- way of such an enterprise are not In surmountable. If our heavy real es tate owners and leading retail dealers loin hands the project will be soon un der way and property In Omaha will re ceive a new impetus. THK TltUXK U.VK.S . The agreement between the eastern railway trunk lines to maintain rates was signed by ail the presidents of those lines on Tuesday and will go Into effect fniiunry 1. The rates will be fixed by i board of managers , in which all the roads will bo represented and which is charged with the duty of seeing'that rates are maintained. The agreement ) lcdgcs the parlies to it to a compliance with the requirements of the interstate commerce law , but it Is a question whether Hie agreement ilself does not violate the fifth section of that act as well as the anti-trust law. The anti- pooling section of the interstate com merce law reads : "That it shall be nil lawful for any common carrier subject to the provisions of tills act to enter into any contract , agreement , or com- dilation with any other common carrie- ir carriers for the pooling of freights ) f different and competing railroads , 01 to divide between them the aggregate ir net proceeds of the earnings of such ailroads , or any portion thereof. " Sen- ttor Chandler insists that the agreement lolates this provision of the law , holding that the whole object of the railroad ircsldcnts is to make a trust and a loolin ; : agreement and lie thinks all the signers can be indicted under the anil rust and anti-pooling statutes. The igreement may be permitted to go inli. ft'ecr , though It is quite possible an IVort will be made to test Its legality. It Is presumed thai it'will receive the mention of the Interstate Commerce ommission. tll'KX 77fN1U1.I.UT / : HUXIM. It is now reported on what is be- ieved to be good authority that con- ests are about to be begun by several andldates who failed to receive cer- lllcales of election. Councilman Jacob- sen declares Hint he cannot understand vhy he was not counted In , the same is his associates on his ticket , and noth ing but a recount of the ballots will satisfy him that William I. Klerstead Is elected county commissioner. Plumb ing Inspector Duncan also claims that he has not been credited with all the voles cast for him , and therefore pro poses to Invoke Ihe power of the county court for a recount of the ballots in certain precincts. Tie Hee cheerfully seconds the mo tion for a general recount and a full and searching inquiry Into the conduct of the election boards and the canvass of tin ) returns. We feel convinced that an honest recount am ) a sifting out of the fraudulent and Illegal vales would prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a majority of the candidates who have been declared elected were in re.illty defeated. The discrepancies in the votes actually polled and the votes credited to candidates for different olll- ce.'i cannot bo accounted for on any rational ground except preconcerted and systematic fraud In Ihe election booths , both before and after the polls closed. While The Hee dee not desire to cast reflet-lion on all the election olllcers , credible reports U-ave no room for doubt that many clerks and Judges mis used their powers to defeat the will of Ihe people. These perversions of the popular choice were not confined to ( he marking of ballots for so-called dis abled voters and the marking of bal lots for men whose votes were con- traded to be delivered , They were given full play In the calling off of the ballots and In tallying the votes as called , Kvldcnce has been accumulat ing ever since the election that 11 ma- Jorlly of the candidates oil the victor- ! mis I lel fVMi1d have no title to office If an honest ivcoiinl of tlu * ballots were had and the fiaudnlcnt voles thrown _ Our ' | - has made u greatL vehtllon" that married \\oiiien nW'Neliig taught Pivncli at the public expense nt the High school. This fact was made public by The Hee over a year jigo. It Is not a question whether Ihe pupils In the High school are married or not , but whether they are of school age. or between the ages of "i ntidEjh There Is no more excuse for the ffc ? Instruction in the public schools of 'unmarried women over " 1 than of married women. In fact , If the married women arc under 1M they might be entitled to admission to the schools. Hut there are pupils In the High school over school age and pupils in the kindergarten under school age. The at lent l < > ii of members of the school board has been called to these viola tions of the school law. but with a school board made up as Is the Omaha school board nothing but Inaction waste to have beeh expected. The supreme court has decided the city to be liable for the cost of street pavement abut I lug Hanscom park un der the terms of the grant to the cll.v. The effect of tills decision will be to compel the city ut large to pay for the street improvements surrounding the park , thus increasing the already heavy burdens of the taxpayers. While this debt is in no sense a bad one and was contracted for necessary Improve ments In a locality where the whole population is and will continue to be benellted. yet the liability thus In curred must he offset by retrenchment hi all departments of city government. The suggestion of City .Treasurer Diimont that an ordinance be passed requiring the city comptroller once or twice n month to count the cash In the hands of the city treasurer and verify Ihe bank balances Is highly Important. If such an accounting could be made without the treasurer having received an advance tip when to expect it there would be no more embezzlements of city funds. Hut in case of collusion be tween the treasurer and comptroller such an ordinance would fix the measure of the comptroller's responsi bility and leave no loophole for its evasion. A bill has been presented to the city amounting to $ S\ ( \ . for electric arc lights at street tjrosslngs of the Hurliiiglon railroad , tlie service covering the pasi nineteen months. The road has de clined payijient1.1 The charter specific ally provides that the roads shall main tain lights i at street crossings in the city and III default tlio cost of such lights are iliadt ; a lieu on the property of the road. The presumption is the road In this case Intends to test the validity of the-law. The opportunity diould bo afforded by the city with as little delay jiispossible. The Bee Ifas * vle.irly shiiwii , that Kan sas City hiiSiJirt basls.J'oruiU.Jhot-headed irotest against grain rates on cast- icund shipments from Nebraska points I'he fact has been conclusively shown that If the contention of Kansas City shippers is valid Omaha and Nebraska shippers would be effectually bottled ip. There is something radically wrong with grain tariffs that admit of grain shipments from Norfolk via Kansas ( illy at n less rale than from Norfolk lirect to Chicago. It is clearly a case > f frcezeout which Nebraska cannot mil will not tolerate. There is a whole lot of significance n the language of TreasurerDuinont vhen hi ) declares that an ordinance iroviding that interest increment upon ill public funds be placed iii tlio public .ill would add no force and elVi--i t < lie charter provision which spcc.llic.ally . lellnes the duties of the city treasurer n that regard. Tlie law is emphatic on his point. 11 cannot again be violated vlth impunity. The treasurer mast nake periodical statements of interest noney.s received and tlie disposition nade thereof. Failure to do so will en- ail suspension. The absurd length to whjcli the in- nncllon fad has gone Is emphasized in i case in the district court where a ncmbi'r of a business firm prays the onrt to restrain Ids partner from any ict that would drive away or repel msluess.

The people nf the country were betrayed by congress and the stable door 1111- lockril over twenty years ago. All that can ba done now Is to do what Is possible to protect the Interests of the great territory tributary to the roads. Milwaukee Sentinel : Senator-elect Thtirs- lon of Nebraska , who has long br-en tlio gen- cril solicitor of the Union IMclfle railroad , having rslgncd the position for a teat In the iwnate , says that the Union Pacific and Cen tral Pacinc lines should be operated as one property.

It will I ) ? an Interesting outcome of the situation In lown , on lines of liquor legis lation. If the republican assembly which Is to meet In January shall fall to submit ths prohibitory constitutional amendment to the state , leave the odoriferous mulct law in existence , and In addition authorize the man ufacture of liquors within the state. And such an outcome Is IIOL only possible but probable. If the mulct law Is to stand , manufacture should certainly not be prohibited. It Is an anomalous condition under which intoxicants can b ? sold In a t > tate Itv which tliey cannot be mad ? . Such a position Is certainly not consistent with the republican Idea of the development of local industries , to which the Iowa republicans subscribed with such en thusiasm In the recent campaign. Iowa corn and barley should go Into the whisky and brer consumed by the lowans who patronise th ? es'ubllbhmcnts which pay Ihe state for the privilege of law breaking. Otherwise the balance Is not maintained , and lown ia steadily losing In money however she may b.3 gaining In drinks. .
