THE SPECULATION IN PRO-
DUOE.
The breadstuff nnd produce mar-
koU throughout the country are be
ginning to feel the reaction resulting
from the wild speculation of the past
winter. Since the harvest ft clique
of speculators hnvo succeeded in cor
nering grain nnd porV in the great
trade centers , and in running up
prices to figures above these called
Tor by the natural operation of * ho laws
of demand nnd supply. Exports for
four months post have steadily de
clined , the high prices forbidding
foreign consumption. The movement
of grain to the seaboard was chocked
oven before the close of the canal
noMon , nnd millions of bushels of
wheat and corn remained locked in
elevators nnd warehouses while
the bulls wrestled on the board
of trade with the bears and
Forced the price to a limit at which
legitimate dealing became scarce
because unprofitable. The extreme
limit in price w&s reached about four
weeks ngo. At that time on the
Chicago b-ard it was quoted at
? 1 37 nnd has steadily declined since
A decreasing confidence in the nbil-
ty of the great operators to carry
.heir holdings , and n consequent
conservatism on the part of the banks
n extending loans have assisted in
wringing about a number of failures ,
and in forcing the general decline not
ed in the market reports from 'change.
Jorn and pork have sympathized with
wheat in the general decline and show
signs of still further weakness.
The early spring nnd the prospects
of an abundant harvest have aided
greatly in bringing about this result.
3oliof that n largo surplus might prof-
tably bo carried over to another har
vest has acted in maintaining confi
lenco and high prices. The mild
weather which hai prevailed since the
close of January has assured the farm-
era of an excellent crop of winter
sown wheat , nnd has enabled the own
ers of the great wheat farms of the
lorthwost to commence plowing long
n advance of the usual sonnon. This
means more ground biokon , n greater
acreage than hist srnson , nnd n still
more abundant crop. A further de
cline in grain and provisions may yet
)0 looked for. The European demand
me practically ceased , and xho sur-
ilus which could have boon worked
off easily and profitably in the earlier
lart of the season , must now bo car
ried over or disposed of at very much
ewer figures , to which must be added
, ho expense of storage and warehous
ing. I
REFORM THE SIGNAL SER
VICE.
There is a strong movement in east-
urn cities in favor of a radical reform
n the Signal Service. This import
ant bureau is now a dopendancy of
; ho War Department. Growing out
of the military signal service which
proved an important adjunct of the
army in the late war , it's operations
mvo since been extended to other
lelds.
The signal service of to-day has lit
tle 'practical connection with
the army. It's forces are used
in enhancing the value of
the pursuits of peace. It has confer
red great benefits both on ngriculturo
and commerce by its systematic obser
vations of the weather. And its re
markable value to mariners is attest
ed by the praises of every chamber of
commerce in the country and by the
high oncoiiiums of the most distin
guished foroigh sociotioH. Still is is
capable of being raised tn a higher
degree of oflicioncy. Its present con
nection with iho army is a .hindrance
to its development. It is
a more barnaola on the
army headquarters at Washington
hampered in its operations by the
connection , and adding nothing to
the oflicioncy of the war department.
It ought to bo placed in an independ
ent position either outaido of the
army or as a separate branch or corps.
In this belief a largo number of gen
tlemen representing the insurance ,
commercinl and other interests
of Novr York , Boston , Providence -
denco and Now Havun , have
united iu eondini ; the following com
munication to Hon. Alison G. Mo-
Cook , rupresontativo of the Eighth
codgressional district of Now York :

DKAH SIK Tlio undersigned , un-
durwritors and merchants of the City
of Now York , ask your particular
attention to the [ importance of secur
ing the permanency nnd success of
the United States signal service.
The great importance and incal
culable benefits of this service to the
commercial and agricultural interests
of the country have already boon
fully domonstatod , and the service is
now regarded us n public necessity.
The request iu made of you , as rep
resenting the interests of this city
the chief commercial and shipping
port of the United mutes and in
view of our experience of the practi
cal benefits of the work to ourselves
and to the nation at large ,
It is our opinion that this service
should be established and maintained
upon a permanent basis , and it is be
lieved that thii can best bo drnu by
establishing it as n separate branch
or corps of the army , such as the En.
glncer Corps or the Ordnance Corps
It is also our opinion thnt auch np-
nropdations should bo undo ns limy
bo nooesiary to maiiit tin this branch
of the publio Bcrvico at the highest
point of tilicionny.
The undersigned especially dt-pro
cnto any want of cnre in permitting
this service to fail or to bo embar
rassed or crippled by want of proper
support nt this important juncture of
its progress ; nnd they respectfully
uryo upon you nnd the other repre
sentatives of this city , and the ropro-
sentativcB of the State generally , to
Hive their attention nnd boat efforts to
guard nnd advance tlio interests of
this service as one which lias done
well nnd is deserving of support.

TWKNTV-THUEE different roads ar
affected by Mr. Iloboson's resolution
declaring certain railroad land grants
forfeited for non fulfillment of their
contract with the government. Of
these , twelve are located in the south
ern states , two in Michigan , thrco in
Minnesota , two in Wisconsin and ono
in Oregon. In addition to these there
are the Nothorn Pacific , Atlantic &
Pacific and Texas Pacific roads. The
grant of the Northern Pacific is 47-
000,000 acres. Of this amount nearly
one-half has boon earned. The friends
of the Northern Pacific claim that the
United Slates is committed to the
completion of the road in case the
company failed. They base their claim
on a clause in the charter which npeci
ficd that in-caso the railway was not
completed within the time called for
"tho United States by its conyrets
may do any and all acts and things
needful nnd necessary to insure its
spredy completion. " It will bo diffi
cult to force nny such mandatory con
struction from the language quoted
The Texas Pacific has a land grant of
18,000,000 , none of which has over
been earned. The lands of the road
Ho west of El Paso , at which point it
joins the Southern Pacific. Unless
further extended its line will bo
entirely within the state ot Texas ,
from which it has a separate grant.
As the Southern Pacific now occupies
that territory and there is no neces
sity for a parallel line to the Pacific
immediately adjoining one already
built the reasons for making the grant
no longer exist and the government
ought at once to reclaim it.
WHY do not Nebraska farmers give
more attention to the hay crop. The
bureau of agriculture informs us thai
in the year 1880 the value of the four
most important crops in the country
was ns follows : Corn , § 079,714,499 ;
wheat , $474,201,850 ; hay , 8371,811-
084 , and cotton , $280,206,242. The
value of the hay crop of Now York
alone was $80,261.928 ; that of Penn
sylvania , $44,728,704 , and that of the
little state of Vermont , whoso entire
agricultural product was only $18-
022,847 , amounted to the astonishing
sum of $12,29.3,112 In Missouri the
hay crop was worth $10,605,395. In
the southern states this crop is
strangely neglected. The yield in
Vermont was only 1.08 tons per acre
worth $10 40 per ton , while iu every
southern state the yield was greater
and the product worth more per ton
The highest yield of hay per acre it
the United States was in Texas , am
the yield in every southern state was
above the average , and the value
of the crop par aero much above the
value of the same crop north and west
The greatest value per aero of the hay
crop in any state was in Goorgi.i ,
whore it w.is worth $30. In Missour
it was worth $12 94 per aero , while
wheat was worth $11 03 and corn only
$1012. Nebraska has unrivalled f
cilitios for hay production. It hns
never boon tested to an extent nt nl
equal to its possibilities. Tt is curi
ous that a crop so pleasant to handle
and so profitable is not given a more
prominent place in the catalogue o :
of agricultural products.
TUB postal cases in Lincoln have
fizzled out through the failure of the
government to prove the fucts as set
foith ia the iiuli ttuouta. The whole
performance on both sides has been a
farce of the first order. The real of
fenders have boon kept in the back
ground , while two employes of the
contractors have boon indicted ns
principals with Postmaster Clary , in u
conspiracy against the postal depart
ment. On the other hand , we know
whereof wo apeak when wo nlllrm
that the defense have been using
money liberally to influence public
opinion through the press bj > means
of attacks on Agent Furay , which
liavo boon widely circulated through
out Nebraska nnd Wyoming terri
tory. THE BEE is not inclined to
make itself the apologist for John IJ
I'uray , whoso action _ in the Adams
case was , to Bay the least , auspicious ,
xnd whoso nnmo has not been loft
untouched by the tongue of n very
common report as connected with a
lumber of questionable transaction * .
The animus in the present case , however -
over , is clear. Charges from men un-

ment , and said : "From the moment I

"What are the Suffrage Laws In the
United States 1.
To tbo Editor of the Chicago Tribune.
CHICAGO. October 9. As a demo
crat , may I ask the favor of publish
ing in Thu Tribune the results of an
investigation of authorities on a sub
ject that has recently attracted public
attention in the newspapers of the
northwest , namely : The question ol
suffrage , and the qualifications re
quired therefor. The question maybe
bo narrowed down to ono point ,
namely : Can an unnaluralized person
vote for a member of congress and
for presidential electors ? From an
investigation and consideration of the
subject , I am clearly of the opinion
that ho cm do BO in many states. It
is a not infrequent error to suppose
that cii izenship and suffrage are in
separably joined together , and that
the former is equivalent to the latter.
Naturalization of itself confers no
right of suffrage. The states have
the exclusive power of fixing the
qualification of voters at all elections.
Prof. Parsons.says :
Under the articles of confederation
the general government could not ex
orcise the power of naturalization ,
the state alone having thnt power.
But as naturalization made a man a
citizen , and a citizen of one state woe
a citizen ot every other , it followed
that any ono state , in any way that it
thought proper , might invest a for
eigner with all the privileges of citi
zenship in every other state. The in
convenience of this was so obvious
that , when the constitution was
formed , no objection was made to
giving to the United States the exclu
sive power of naturalization ,
Citizenship of itself gives no right
of BUtfrago. That must depend Upon
the law of the state whore he resides ,
the constitution having left to the
states this power ; and 'each state pro
scribes its own rule , or has its own
law , of suffrage. Thus , a foreigner
coining to Miisiaohuso'ts ' , and residing
there , may bo naturalized and thus
become a citizen of the United State :
and of thnt state , and live there al
his life without the right of.aulfrngo ,
unless ho loams how to rend the con
stitution in English nnd write his own
name.
Muny believe that the qualifications
required in order to vote for ropro
sontativoa in congress are different
from thosu required in voting for rep
rcscntntives in the legislature of the
sbte. This is simply n mistake , ns
will bo soon by reference to Art. 1 ,
Soc. 2 , of the constitution , which is
in these words ;
"The house of. representatives shal !
bo composed of members ohoucn every
second year by the pnoplo of the
several states ; and the electors in each
state shall have the qualifications
requisit foreloctorsof the most numerous -
ous branch of the st.vto legislature. "
As to Mio election of proiilenlial
electors , the constitution , in Art , 2 ,
Soc. 1 , Clause 2 , provides :
"Each state shall appoint , in such
manner as the legislature thereof may
direct , a number of electors equal to
the whole number of sonatorn and
representatives to which the state may
be entitled in the congress. "
Those electors choose the President1
nnd Vice President of the United
States. If there bo no State legisla
tures , there can bo no presidential
electors. The electors of the State
legislatures are created and qualified
and under State constitutions nnd
State laus ,
The Supreme Court of the United
States , in Minor \s. Unpporautt , 21
Wallace , 170 , says : "Tho United
States 1ms no voters in the States of
tu own creation. The elective officers
of the United States nro all elected
directly or indirectly by State voters. "
In the United Stntes vs. Cruikslmnk ,
2 Otto , 555 , the Supreme Court re-
nlllrm the doctrine in these words :
"In Minor VR. Ilapporaott , 21
Wall. , 178 , wo decided that the Con-
( dilution of the United States has not
conferred the right of suffrage upon
nny ono ; and thnt the United States
Imvo no voters of their own creation
in the SUtcs. In the United States
vs. Ueoso et il. , supra , jingo 214 , wo
hold that the Fifteenth Amendment
hns invested the citizens of the United
States with anew constitutional right ,
which is , exemption from discrimina
tion in the exercise of the elective
franchise on account of race , color , or
previous condition of servitude.
Fr/im tins it appears that the right of
null rage is not a necessary attribute of
National citizenship ; but that exemp
tion from discrimination in the exer
cise of that right , on account of race ,
etc. , is. The right to vote in the
States comes from thu Stntos ; but the
right of exemption from the prohib
ited discrimination comes from the
United States. The first hasnotboon
granted or secured by the Constitu
tion of the United Stntos ; but the last
has been.
The several ntatea have prescribed
in their state constitutions the
qualifications for the exercise
of the right of suflrago by an
unnaturnli/cd foreigner who haa de
clared his intention to become a citi
zen. Under the constitutions of In
diana , Florida and Oregon , if ho has
resided in the United States ono
year , and in the state six months , and
has legally'declared his intention to
become a citizen ot the United States ,
ho can vote at all elections.
In Alabama , Florida , Kansas , Wis
consin , and other states , n residence
of on year in the state is required ,
in addition to his declaration of inten
tion to become a citizen. In Massa
chusetts , u foreigner must have his
final naturalization papers , and , in
addition thereto , he must reside in
the state two years after he has boon
naturalized , and be able to read the
constitution in English , and write his
own name. In Hliodo Island a for-
eignnr must bo a naturalized citizen ,
and also an owner of real estase. In
Connecticut full citizenship is re
quired , and the voter must bo a man
of good moral character , and be able
to read any article of the constitution.
In Vermont citizenship is required ,
and also that the voter shall be of a
quiet and peaceable behavior , and
take a prescribed oath to give his
vote .is he shall judge will moat con
duce to the best good of the state.
I think it is clear that the light of
suffrage is exclusively conferred and
regulated by the states , and that con
gress hns no right to prescribe the
qualification of voters. In fact , there
can be no voters except those made by
the several states.
Another common mistake is , that ,
because a man is a lawful voter , there
fore ho is eligible to office. In almost
e/ery state citizenship is one of the
requisites to qualify for holding office.
The first clause of the first seqtion
of the Fourteenth Amendment to the
constitution roads as follows :
All persons born or naturalized in
the United States , and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof , are citizens of the
United States , and of the state where
in they reside.
The supreme .court of the United
States has decided that
The phrase , "subject to its juris
diction , was intended to exclude
from its operation children of minis
ters , consuls , and citizens or subjects
of foreign states , born within the
United States.
This decision deposes of a large
number of cases involving the ques
tion of the right to vote of persona
born in Illinois or other states , whoso
fathers were subjects of foreign states ,
nnd never became citizens nt the
United States. The fact of being
born in the United States does not
make auch persons citizens or voters.

Congressional Districts.
Western Nibmekun.
Some of our exchanges have a
hankering that our state , when dis
tricted into congressional districts ,
should run from east to west , making
Douglas , Sarpy and the counties north
of the Plntto to the western state
line , ono district for instance. This
won't begin to do , gentlemen. It
would bo better to elect the congress
men irom the state at large. West
ern Nebraska could not faro worse
and in the hurdy gurdy race might
do much bettor. The interests of the
cast and west ends nro too diverse and
varied for anything like harmony to
exist in the selection of men to properly -
orly represent these extremes. It
would bo better and more consistent
to unite contingent territories or
counties , like Douglas , Sarpy , Soun
ders , Lancaster , Cass , Ofoo , Nemalu ,
"Richardson , Johnson , Pitwnoo , etc. ,
say for ono diatrict , and Hall , Bufi'alo ,
D.iwson. Plielpa , Ouster Sherman , Lin
coln , Keith , Uliejenno and Sioux
counties for another. This district
would be the largest in area in the
state and nearly allied in interests.
In the now deal Western Nebraska
asks for n fair hearing , She protests
against bring tacked onto the crowded
counties of the eastern part nnd vir
