Tun property owner in the business
part of Omaha who is short-sighted
cnougu to build a four-story building on
a six-story lot will confess himself to bo
the worst fooled man in the city two

AN oxctiso has been found ut Washing

Much as we should bo glad to see the

grossing clerk.
SIXTV per cent increase over last year
was the record of Omaha's clearings for
the week ending Saturday last. "Busi

SPAIN is rejoicing over the birth of a
royal prlnco who is heir apparent to the
throne. The pope has consented to
Htand as god-father to Queen Christina'B
boy , and all Catholic Europe is prepar
ing to send congratulations to the queen-
mother over the happy event , which cuts
off the youthful nose of the princess
royal. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Tun Long Pine Bugla blows a fearful
blast. The following specimen bugle
note leads to the natural inference that
the mouth from which this terrific blast
was blown had been drawing inspiration
from n whisky jug :

TNtu. GLADSTONE has determined to ap
peal to the country in case homo rule is
defeated by a strong majority in the pre
sent commons. Her majesty , the queen ,
'lias scon lit to take a hand in the matter
Hnd the royal wish that parliament should
toot'be dissolved on this issue was brought
"by the queen's secretary to Mr. Gladstone
on "Monday. Victoria has made it her
business for years to snub the premier ,
Jfehll Mr. Gladstone probably feels under
'i b pressing obligations to yield to her
'majesty's whim especially as such obodi-
'erico would bo to Iiand over the govern-
'intent ' to Lord Hartingtou and a tory
-'b&alition. So the country will bo given
'hh opportunity to express its approval
fcr disapproval of the ministerial policy at
taeipolls. John Morley 1ms already noti-
ltd the liberal union to prepare for an-
'ether election , which is n significant hint
that the government is prepared for do-
'foat and ready to face the Sssuo on an
appeal to the country. It is neck or
'nothing ' with Mr. Gladstone. His aggros-
'Bivb wuriaro for homo rule is worthy of
We vigor of a statesman of 40.
The premier is steering the ship of state
straight for the homo rule port , serenely
confident of making the landing safely ,
in spite of all adverse winds and treach
erous rocks ,
DODGE street Is offering a largo bonus
for thu location of the cable lino. There
Is no reason why Farnam street should
not compete. Farnam has already mil-
ilons Invested in buildings and the prop
erty west of thu court house is hold at
high prices because it is expected that
business will go there , Now while business -
ness will not climb Dodge street hill oven
* x if the cable road is laid along that street
there is no doubt that the location of that
road away from Farnam will carry a
great deal of travel thrco blocks north
of that street and materially dam
age the business prospects of the
thoroughfare , There is another reason
why the cable road should bo induced to
locate on Farnam. The street from
Ninth to Eighteenth is paved with gran-
, ito. Light buggies will not use that pave
ment for pleasure rides , and these who
have business on the street are bound to
come whether the cable road comes there
oruot. Farnam street is wide enough
for four moro tracks , if needed , and the
more through travel wo concentrate on
the street the more wo concentrate busi-
ness. If the owner of every 23-foot lot
between Ninth street and the city limits
would contribute $50 towards u bonus ,
MT have no doubt that the road could be
secured.
Tlio Irish Famine.
Wo hare received a circular from
Patrick Ford asking us to lend n voice in
favor of the Irish famine fund now being
raised by the Irish World to relieve the
great distress in western Ireland. Mr.
Ford writes :
The condition of tlio people alone the
const of Gnlway , Mayo , and Donegal , Is re
duced to absolute destitution. Whole com
munities are without food or fuel.
Thousands of persons arc almost In a state
ot nudity , numbers of young gills being thus
forced to keep within doors , liavlnc been
obliged to pawn the scanty clothing they had
to purchnso something to cat to preserve life.
Mostllov. Dr. McKvllly , archbishop of Tuam ,
Michael Davlit , and all the priests In these
localities verify these terrible statements ,
mid linvo made most piteous appeals for re
lief. It Is certain that those people will dlo
If assistance Is not clvcn promptly.
It Is , sir , with a sense of humiliation that L ,
orany man of spirit ot tlio Irish race , must
thus expose the wretchedness of Mother
Land. I had almost registered a vow never
again to beg alms for the Irish people. The
natural wealth of Ireland Is great , the labor
Is tlicre , and the will Is over present to marry
both. Why , then , docs poverty aflllct that
country , and hunger gnaw at the vltah of
her children ? It Is almost superfluous to ask
this question of any honest and decently In
formed man. Foreign rule Is the answer.
The present , howo\cr. Is not the tlmo to
philosophize. Men aud women and Inno
cent llttlo children are dying ot hunger , and
tlie. llrst thing to do Is to savu them.
liomltnll collections weekly to Michael
Davltt , who Is on the ground , and who up-
poi tlons the money ns It may do most good.
Would It be. too much to ask you to an
nounce tn your readers that such of them as
may feel disposed to contribute to this Fam
ine Fund , you will be pleased to rccoivo and
forward to mo their amounts with names ,
Iilch will be duly ciudltcd.
The UEE cheerfully complies with the
request. It will gladly reccivo and for
ward all contributions for this object sent
to Its oflice nnd will duly credit the con
tributions with the amount of their sub
scriptions. The distress in Western Ireland -
land as recorded in the latest English and
Irish papers is most appalling. Hundreds
of families are on the vcrco of starvation.
The destitute are being supplied with seed
potatoes but must bo fed and clothed for
the thrco months which will intervene
until the crop comes in. Irish-Americans
are contributing liberally fo this worthy
charity , and the thousands of that
nationality among the readers of the liKE
will doubtless be glad of an opportunity
to assist. All whoso interest in Ireland
has been quickened by the gallant tight
which she is now making for nationality
are appealed to , to como to the aid of her
starving children whoso poverty and dis
tress are so greatly tlio product of in
iquitous land laws and tlio oppressive
coercion of centuries of misrulo.
Against Alien Landlords.
The land commission bill passed by the
house of representatives last Tuesday is
another step forward in the movement
now in progress to reform the abuses of
existing and past mismanagement of the
public lands. The bill constitutes a com
mission of thrcn persons to ascertain and
settle claims in Colorado , Now Mexico
and Arizona , hold under the Spanish or
Mexican grants and treaties. Bur , per
haps , the most valuable feature of the
measure was that introduced by Mr. Mo-
Adooof , Now Jersey , providing that "no
alien or person who is not a citizen of the
United Slates shall acquire title to lands
under this commission unless his title to
the same shall bo clearly provided for
under some ono of the treaties herein re
ferred to. " Mr. McAdoo made a second
speecli in support of this , saving among
other things.
I think the time has como when. In all
future legislation of congress , the principle
contained in this amendment should bo en
grafted on the statute book. Both political
parties In their national conventions have
declared against alien ownership of lands.
Wo are con fronted by the fact that nearly
30,000,000 million acres of land are owned by
pernons who are not citizens of the United
States , with millions upon millions of for
eign capital besides Invested In cattle uow
grazing on the public domain , and fenced In
to prevent American citizens from settling
on those lands.
The question whether forcignlandlords
and corporations shall bo permitted to
acquire largo landed interests in this
country is rapidly becoming a vital issue.
Iowa has already made her protest heard
on the subject and other states -whore tlie
evil of non-resident and alien proprietor
ship is most felt will certainly
follow suit. The public lauds
committee tire preparing a bill
absolutely prohibiting alien ownorsliip of
lands and the qucston will be fully dis-
citssnd in congress when the measure is
introduced. Millions of acres of the pub
lic domain have already passed out of the
hands of the government into these of
English landed proprietors who collect
rents through local agents aud spend the
Income abroad. Sooner or later mea
sures will have to bo enacted limiting the
extent of tracts under ono ownership ,
whether individuals or corporations.
Every social 'and economic interest de
mands the distribution of agricultural
lands among the greatest number of pro
prietors. Landed monopoly is the most
odious of all monopolies , As a system ,
it cannot be permitted to take root ana
llourish in American soil ,
Where la tlio Commission ?
We have heard and talked a great deal
of the railroad commission of Nebraska.
Wo have been told that the commission
has traveled up and down tlio state to in
spect the roads and has passed upon
some very intricate cases ofoxtoition
and unjust discrimination. It has been
given out to the public that it haa
caused 17 cents to bo refunded to bo re
funded to one shipper and that at an
other time It has compelled a road
to put in a wind mill at one of the side
stations , But upon further inquiry wo
find that these reports are not true. To
the best of our ability wo have boon
unable to learu that the com
mission has done anything moro
than to sign some report prepared by
its high salaried clerks.
Hy the law creating this many headed
body , the commission is made up of the
attorney general , secretary of state and
auditor of pubho accounts. The law
allows this commission to appoint thrco
clerks at $3,000 a year and incidental .
These clerks have boon masquerading as
a commission and imposing upon tha
people by pretending to have some
authority to remedy railroad abuses
when In fact they have no moro authority
personally to meddle with the ullairs of
railroads than three tramps. Thu law
doesn't recognize them an railroad
regulators and thuir pretenses as com
missioners arc , if anything , u gruutor
sham than the law creating the commis
sion. It is true the railroad managers
have given these clerks the use of direc
tors' cais and dined and wined them on
their junketing trips. Hut In law and in
fact they are nothing moro than thrco
clerks hired to collect statistics for the
commissioners. Now where have the com
missioners been all this time ? Why have
they kept themselves in seclusion ? Do
they imagine that the pcoplo will hold
the clerks , whom they can hire and dis
charge at pleasure , responsible for squan
dering their money and making a
liugo farce of railroad regulation ?
Isn't It about tlmo for the commissioners
to materialize and let their three clerks
take a back scat In the cars in which they
travel ? It is bad enough for the pcoplo
of Nebraska to be cursed and taxed with
a commission when they voted it I'own
by an overwhelming majority. But to bo
imposed on by a sot of chumps whom
the commissioners have employed as
clcrksis rubbing it in a little too hard.
Trmlo nntl Tralllo.
The quieting down of labor troubles
throughout the west during the week has
been followed by a general recovery
from the depression of the past month.
The oll'ect is seen in the bank clearings
which show a heavy increase. Omaha
tak-us her position as twelfth in the list of
cities , with nn increase of more than CO
per cent over these of the corresponding
week of last year. In the east tlio trade
situation has not materially improved.
Tint distribution of merchandise has
been chiefly in small lots proportioned to
actual wants , and thu requirements of
wholesale dealers anil jobbers are natur
ally smaller , now tliat the spring season
is so far advanced. The actual obstruc
tion to trade and industrial operations
by strikes and lockouts has been less
suriou.s than in recent weeks , but is still
an important hindcrnnco to the frco How
of business in many departments , nnd
the moral eft'oct of the agitation contin
ues to discourage now ventures or any
tendency to au expansion of activity in
legitimate trade or speculation. Business
failures in the United States and Canada
numbered 170 last week , as against 19J
the week preceding
The wool trade is in a sluggish , unset
tled condition , but the sales have boon
increased a little by price concessions
which some holders have made in order
to unload betore the now clip conies on
the market. Shearing has been delayed
in some sections by unfavorable weather ,
and where a clip is off and ready for sale
operations have been very moderate , as
growers' views of value are above a
paritv with prices in the seaboard mar
kets. The distribution of dry goods has
been collectivelv fair , but made up chiefly
of small lots for necessary re-assortment.
There have been no important changes
in values either in cotton or woolen
goods. Wheat prices declined C } and 3
cents per bushel at the close of the week
under general pressure to sell , inJIucncQd
by the near approach of harvest and the
prosnect that a large surplus will bo car
ried over from the last crop.
There was a fair business for export ,
but it has been insufhciont to check the
downward tendency of values : Crop
conditions continue excellent. The aver
age condition of winter wheat has ad
vanced from 92 } a nionth ago to 05 , and ,
so far as can bo judged at this early date ,
the outlook for spring wheat is favorable
for a yield of about 150IK)0.000 )
bushels , which will swell the total
wheat outturn for the year to about
450,000,000 bushels , as"against 837,000,000
bushels in 1835 and 512,000,000 bushels in
1884. The corn market has boon com
paratively well supported , and is a shade
stronger than last week. The firmness is
duo mainly to the fact that receipts are
not grading up to the contract standard ,
and parties who had sold futures against
the expected arrivals of No. 3 corn have
either settled their outstanding engage
ments or face tlie unpleasant alternative
of covering their sales in a market com
paratively bare of the grades wanted.
McGlllicuddy's Removal.
Agent V. T. McGillicuddy has been
suspended from the charge of Pine Ridge
agency and will shortly be replaced by a
successor who is moro in harmony with
the ideas of the interior department. It
is gratifying to the friends of the best
agent in the service to learn that the
cause of the doctor's removal is his re
fusal to submit to the change of chief
clerks at the agency. Ur. McGillicuddy
took the stand that as ho alone
was held responsible for results
nt Pine Ilidgo ho must bo allowed
to choose his chief subordinate. Ho
firmly declined to yield the point nnd his
suspension naturally followed. The pe
culiar circumstances in the case of the
agent at Pine Ridge ought to have pre
vented the secretary from pushing his
demand. The chief clerk at that agency
had been for years the trusted friend and
advisor of the agent. It was he who or
ganized and controlled largely the Sioux
police nnd whoso administration of the
police force has made it the best drilled
and most efficient of any located at agen
cies throughout the country. Chief Clerk
Brown was a veteran sergeant in
the regular armv when Dr. McGillicuddy
called him to his assistance at Pine
Itldgo and ho lias proved an iuvaluabla
acquisition to the government in his dual
capacity as clerk and superintendent of
the Indian police.
There will bo general regret through
out Nebraska nnd Dakota over McGilli.
cuddy's departure. Since his arrival at
Pine Ridge agency ho has quelled every
sign of disorder among the Ogallala
Sioux and Choyennes , fought oil' the
gang of dishonest traders anil contrac
tors , and maintained his position against
the host of enemies which his honest and
efficient management of agency affairs
brought down upon him. Under his
vigorous if arbitrary rule , the Sioux have
been kept at peace , factionalism has been
made harmless , schools have been built
and filled with children , and many of the
Indians have become largely self-sup
porting. Dr. McGillicuddy falls a victim
to a new-fnnglod system of pretended re
forms which ho cannot approve because
In his case ho knows its application
would be injurious to the interests of the
government ,
SOUK of the members of the police are
fizzing around and kicking over the
traces about the ordinance to uniform the
police. It is high tirno that there
should be a thorough reorganization
of Omaha police on a business basis.
The system hero Is chiefly remarkable for
the lack of system. The police are se
lected largely on 'the grounds pf per
sonal favoritism , wjthmit regard to phy
sical or mental qualifications , nnd nro
placed on the sato level , with few In
ducements for hajjl 'iyork or prospects
of preferment. Ev,9rynpplicantfornpo- ,
sltion on the police force should bo made
to pass a physical examination. No man
who Is over thirty-live years of ago and
who is not sound' in ! mind nnd limb
should bo accepted. Olllccrs who nro to
enforce the law ought certainly to bo
physically able to command respect and
obedience. The ' rate of pay
should also bo gfculqd. A probation
of six months on n salary of
$ GO with subsequent advances to $00 and
$70 , if the olliccr is found intelligent and
faithful , would do much to increase the
ofllcioncy of the forco. As matters now
arc , a position on the police is a soft job
hold until the officer commits some out
rageous breach of the regulations and is
quite Independent of any qualifications
of the incumbent. Tlio ordinance uni
forming the police is a stop in
the right direction. It will compel
neatness In the first place nnd will
assist In commanding respect for the
men inside of the blouses. Having re
formed the uniform , the council should
next take steps to regulate the wearers
of the blue and buttons.
REV. Mn. BITI.EU denounces the
Omaha reporters because , as ho says ,
they did not report his meetings correct
ly. Mr. Ditlor cannot charge the partial
failure of his revival upon the reporters ,
who gave him more space than ho de
served. Ono of the reporters for the
BEE , by tlio way , was au enthusiastic
participant in the revival , and did not in
any way need tlio prayers of Mr. Bitlcr.
That reporter can make as good a prayer
or preach us gootl a sunnon as Mr. Hitler
any day in the week. The fact is that
the revival meetings were very correctly
reported , except as to the number in at
tendance , which was greatly exaggerated
in order to help the enterprise along ,
nnd this was done with the knowledge of
some of the prime movers. That was
about the only incorrect reporting that
was done.
