The early completion of the Smith- orn Pacific railroad naturally excites a great deal of interest on the Pacific coast. The owners of the Central Pacilic are also the owners of this now outlet and the completion of that enterprise is expected to bring about come very radical changes in over land traffic. Tlio managers of the Southern I'd- cilie e.\prcss the opinion that their road will not seriously detract from the Central Pacific. It will open up a new part of the country and nfTord a now market for the semi-tropical fruits of .Southern California , and above all become a competitor with the ocean route for c.iriying the wheat export of Cali fornia l < > Kin-one. The running time for freight be- .ween San Francisco and Now Or- Mim will be about nine days and the .imo of steamer between Now Orleans and Liverpool , sixteen to twenty days and for nailing vessels forty-live days. Allowing six dayn detention for load- ng and re-shipping at New Orleans , shipments between San Francisco and jivorpool will require about thirty- hree days by steamer and sixty days > y sailing vessel , against one hundred mid fifty dayn by the present route iroiind Cape Horn. Tt is estimated thut next year at east one-third of thu California wheat crop will be shipped ovnrlnnd by the Southern Pacific. This traffic has lever been carried by the Central and Jnion Pacific and therefore will in no vay effect these roads. The advantage of shipping Califor- iia grain to Europe by way of Now ) rlcans is manifest. It takes five or ix months now for California lealcrs to deliver their product in the European market and that compels a ibural margin for thu risk they run of leclino in prices as well as the cost and risk of insurance. Thu opening of the Southern Pacific vill have a tendency to divert the mmigrationthalnowcrosses thu conti- icnt by way of the Union Pacific to .ho New Orleans lino. It is expected hat thu now steamship lines between Liverpool and Now Orleans will carry oreign emigrants at very low prices md the malingers of the Southern ! ' ifie announce their intention to bring hese people to California at almost any price. The president of the road n a recent interview foreshadowed ho policy of his road on immigration rates as follows : "Wo expect to bring immigrants ots of them.Vo look , for a great ro- ivul in immigration to this state , and are going to do our part to secure it. Ye agree to give one-fourth of thu uiida required by the immigration bu reau , and wo expect to put rates of > aasage for immigrants so low that wo iliall secure them by thousands. Jf vo had a load of them at New Orleans o-day and could get but $10 a head o bring them through wo should iritur thorn along. If wo could not ; et them for that wo should put the ate lower. If one mtu wor't secure mmigir.nts wo shall adopt an- ) tlior. Wo don't want them or what wo can make out of > ringing them , but what they con- ributu to our business after they got tero and settle. Every person brought o the stuto and induced to settle hero contributes to the business of the rail road in ono way or another. No one indorstands that any better than we lo , and wo hope and expect yet to do .he transportation business of : i,000- 000 inhabitants of this stato. I can't give you any 1'iguron in | regard to im migrant rates because we don't yet know what may bo necessary , but wo shall nut the rate low enough to in duce the immigration , which is more essential to our success than that of any other enterprise. " It is self oyulent that thu Union and Central Pacific will not bo able to compote on California immigration with their southern rival. As an ollaot to this loss the rapid settlement of California will bring about incrcaiiod tratlio and 'travel , which , although divided among four or live rival lines , will afford an am ple income for all of them. In any caao there is a fair prospect that the discriminations and extortionate rates to which the patrons of the Union and Central Pacific roads Imvo been subjected , will soon cease. OCR NATURALIZED CITIZENS. Nearly ' 700,000 immigrants are landed yearly upon the nhorcs of our country with the idea of making it their homo and partaking of the privileges logos of citizenship. ( If this numbei fully 100,000 annually announce thoii intention of becoming citizens am tuko out first papers. During the his five years the largest single nationality represented in our lists of immigrant have been Goritmim , many of when have como to America to escape tin burdens of military conscription am ongaga in a lifo where the best year of their prime is not forfeitei to the maintenance of i standing army. To a mor limited degree the ] sumo is the cas among a number of other nutionaltie where military conscription is the rule Our government has always main taincd the position that the declaration tion of an intention to become n citi /.on entitles the applicant for natural i/4ition to all thu privileges of citizen ship with the exception of the electiv franchise. To all intents and pur poses such persons are American citi zens and under thu protection of tin national government. Thin principle has lately been callci question in Germany vhcro tlu orincr subjects of the emperor William returning to their old homes invo been nizcd for military duly. A vigorous correspondence between the "Icnimn government and the state de triment some months ago settled .ho question according to the demands of Secretary Evarts , and fiied for all , imo to come , as far as Germany is concerned , the standing ( if our Gcr- nan naturalised citizens. 3Ioro re cently Secretary Blainu has boon 'orccd to deal with the eanio question n cases pending before the Spanish American commission which in volves the principle of n.it- mitigation. This commission is composed of an American and a Spanish representative , and an uni- tire in the person of the Swedish min ster , Count Loowonhaiipt. In the C.MO of one" Pedro Biuusi the umpire ms assumed the ri'/ht to go behind ho decree of tlio court which granted Su/.xi naturalisation , and to decide hat the man is not a citi/en of the United Statin. Ono hundred and sin en cases have been umpired by M. inrtholdi , the French minister , and iy li.iron Blitnc , the diplomatic rep- isetitati\o ! of Italy. They held to he doctriru ) that , in the absence of evidence to provo fraud , Spain had 10 right to question the validity of \mericMii citi/.enship granted by a ompetent Ccouit ; that the trlbu- mis of the United States are ho sole interpreters of the awn of tlio country ; and that ho umpire of the commission has 10 power to review their adjudica- ions. There are yet forty casew to > o acted upon by the commission , and ho now umpire undcrtakcB to allow Ipain to challenge thorn on the pro- otiso that the claimants possess no itlo to American citizenship This xtraordinary decision Secretary Maine refuses to accept , and demands hat thcso remaining cases shall bo ricd under the terms which brought ho commission into being , and hat the rules which governed in other cases shall govern in the asos yet to be disposed of. Ho takes , ho ground that , when n court compo- , ont to the purpose confers ] the right of citi'/onship , there is no power in the executive department to remove its udgmcnt , and no such power can bo lermittcd to bo exorcised by a mere ommissiott. 1 folding to this opinion , " \Ir. Blaine instructs the government ttornoy , Mr. Durant , not to consent o have any case referred to the urn- lire wherein the question of the effect luo n legal imtunili/.ation certificate nay bo involved. . 'his vigorous action on the part of Mr. Itlaino ii equivalent to a with- Irawal of all such cases from the com- nission unless Count Loewcnhaupt ccs proper to make his decision in accord with those of his predecessor. ! "he position taken by Mr. Blainu annot for a moment be receded from > y our government. It is essential o the maintenance of the national > olicy on n question which is vital to ho interests of our country and in ho highest degree important for the irotcclion of our naturalized citizens. ONK of the most dangerous nionopo- ict ) in this country is the Standard Oil Company which contro'a ' with re- ontless grip the petroleum trade of ho United States and dictates terms and prices to all merchants handling oils in the country. A sample of their nothods was lately shown inMoridcn ) , tfiisissippi , where a merchant re used to soil Standard oil and furnish ed that of a rival rofmory to his cus- .omiirs. After numerous throats to destroy his business unless he con- Honied to comply with their demands , the Stanaard company reduced the [ > ricu of their oil to all other dealers in Meriden , enabling them to sell po- troluum at a figure against which they believed the obstiimto dealer could not compete. But the citizens of the place refused to pur chase Standard oil. They persisted in still trading at the store of the mer chant selling the rival article and ap plauded his pluck by purchasing the petroleum of other makers at a higher price than they could procure the oil of the Standard company elsewhere in the town. Finding Una move balked tlio. Standard company opened a store in Meriden directly opposite the little shop-keeper and stocked it with a full line of goods suitable for country trade , which they .put down to less than wholesale prices with the avowed intention of breaking up in business their obstiimto opponent. At last ac counts this dirty scheme had failed to effect the desired ] result , as the people ple of Meriden pluckily refused to trade at the Standard store , oven with thu inducement of a fine line of goods and aatoiiiHliinu'ly low prices. Whal the next move of the monopoly will bo remains to bo seen. Such disre putable and petty methods of business are creating an antagonism to the cor- poratioii8' which is certain to make it , self felt in severu restrictive legisla tion at thu hands of the people , Kver > incident like the nbovo shows the fal lacy of the monopoly plea , that ali they watft ! H to bo permitted to do busineeg like every other merchant , and under the same laws of fair and free competition , DK.MTU is groaning because , with n population of CO.OOO , she has only thirty-six policemen.

The fact that the first fire hydrant lest , made two vreeks ago , was not fully up to the standard required by the contract , caused a good deal of speculation as to the ctlicicncy of the works for fire protection , As a matter of f.ict the dross par- ide exhibitions of the power of direct [ ncssuro to throw vertical streams to extraordinary heights are a more sham and delusion. They were gotten up by Holly for the purpose of imposing on the ignorant and cred ulous. The throwing of f .ur , six or eight streams of water to a vertical ieight of nuvoral hundred feet by di rect pressure at a uivon point while all the mains are shut off is no relia- . ) lo test of what a water works system e.in do in a great lire. A much morn reliable test ia afforded by reservoir Kossiiro * which is steady and sure. When such pressure affords amplu irok'otion to the highest buildings in our business centre and upon thu n'gher levels on Capital hill , it is all .hat could reasonable bo asked. I3ut the admirers of high pressure dress parade exhibitions have at last > eon gratified by the late tests , i'ho requirements of thu contract are more than fulfilled BO far as those high ircssuro displayn are concerned. In duo time wu shall also hs vo moro sub stantial proof of the capacity of the water works by a test of the reservoir iressuro upon which this city must rely for ordinary protection. Chief Consulting Engineer Cook , who planned our watur works , confidently predicts that the reservoir pressure will throw six or eight largo streams to a hight considerable above the roof of Boyd's opera house. That will af ford ample and reliable protection to every business house in Omaha and every residence on Capitol hill. In other respects our water works are nbt only ample for every require ment for domestic use and manufac- ; uring but the consumers are supplied with as pure , clear and wholesome water as can bo found in any other city in America. The obstacles en countered by high water and delays ncidcnt to a rainv and variable sea son have necessarily delayed the com pletion of the works , but inasmuch as the city is fully supplied with water md amply protected against tire , the lolay can bo borne without loss or inconvenience convenienceWe hive no dis- msition to urge a premature ac ceptance of these works by onr city authorities. On the contrary , we believe it to bo the duty of our mayor and city council to enforce the contract with the water works com- , ) any and protect the city against any Wfsiblo future loss. The men engaged in this risky and costly enterprise are , hovcver , en- Jtlcd to fair and decent treatment , and the parties that were engaged in the outrageous scheme to rob the tax payers of Omaha by imposing thu Holly water works swindle on thorn should bo the last to find fault or grumble. Thesa corrupt jobbers donot seem to know when they are well off. With reckless disregard of all de cency they and their chief backer , the editor of The Herald , are waging ma licious warfare on the managers and owners of the water works. Their conduct is as impudent as it has been dishonest. For somu time past TUB BKK has boon in possession of thu proofs of their infamous conspiracy. Thoir. insolent course compels us to unmask them. When the true history of this conspiracy is presented to our citizens those cheeky frauds will ceasn their slanders. ST. I'AULandMinno apolis arc wrest ling with the paving problem. A letter - tor just published in St. Paul from a contractor who is furnishing granite to ono of the .street railway lines of Chicago , contains the information that ho receives § 2. 'JO per square yard for his material on hoard of the cars at Chicago. It is estimated that it will cost thirty cents per yard to deliver the granite at Minneapolis , which would make the cost of the raw material $ H.20 per yard and to prepare the street and lay it down would make the final cost of granite pavement at Minneapolis four dollars per yard. It would hardly cost moro to transport n carload of stonu from Chicago to Omaha than it docs from Chicago to St. Paul. A proposi- tioirfor a substitute for stone appears in the Pioneer-Press of last Monday which wo deem worthy of reproduc tion. There arrived recently in Minneap olis and St. Paul an agent of what is known as "tho International Paving Company , " whoao specialty is the manufacture of a brick of uniform size for paving purposes , the ingredi ents of which are limestone crushed into fragments of about the size of a pea , and asphalt , in , the proportion of 85 per cent of the former to 15 of the latter. It is claimed for this material that it is as durable as granite , that no objection able noise results from its use , that it presents a firm footing for animals , is not hard upon their feet , causing scarcely moro abrasion to shoes or to wheels than an ordinary wood pave ment ; that , being of uniform size , a section of the bricks may at any timobo removed and replaced for convenience in m'po-liiyiug and ro- I'airim. , and that , finally , it can be laid down at a cost not exceeding 00 2-J ! per cent of that of ordinary granite. This material is bcinq ex tensively used in Providence , R. I. , is being laid in Now Oilcans , and a section of it has been put down opposite the Windsor hotel in New' York for trial. Since the arrival of the agent in Minnesota ho hiis put down a cross-walk of his bricks on Wabash street opposite the custom house , and will probably do the same in Minneapolis if BO requested. If this pavement possesses the ad vantages claimed for it , it in possible that the paving problem is settled for St. Paul and Minneapolis. STATE ! JO PTINGS.
