. The suggestion that a tax bo placed on
foreign immigration is raising a howl in
some quarter * where it ought to bo least
expected. The organs of the capitalist
manufacturers who h.ivo amassed their
wealth by the operation of high tariff
taxes on the products of labor are the
most bitter in denouncing tlio proposal
as un-American and preposterous. They
decline to admit the Injustice of raising
the prices of everything that a workingman -
man buys by shutting out foreign goods
and lowering the prlco of American labor
by opening wldo the doors to the f reo
competition of foreign worklngmen.
They pretend not to sco that wages are
high or low in proportion to what they
will buy and that where competition is
prevented in marketing goods while com
petition is stimulated in labor itself only
onn sldn reaps the chief benefit of the re
stricting lav.
If our present system of exorbitant tar
iff luxation is to bo indefinitely continued
the workingmen of America will surely
bo found insisting that tlio protection
theory shall be can led to Its logical end.
The tariff is now a tav for the benefit of
capital There must bo a correspond
ing tax for the bencllt of labor.
Capital Is now protected from the
competition of foreign mamtfacturorors.
Labor will soon bo demanding protection
from the competition of foreign laborers.
There Is no know-nothinglsm in such a
position. It will bo forced upon the
country by the greed of the great indus
trial monopolists who are able to screw
wages down to the lowest possible notch
by tlio pressure of competition in a labor
market already ovcrciowded and re
ceiving now acquisitions from every
emigrant ship.
But there Is a bolter solution of the
problem. That is a radical reform of
tariff taxation. The country is still suf
fering from over-production because our
exorbitant customs duties have closed to
us the markets of the world and restrict
ed our manufacturers to the home mar
kets. In addition they have enhanced
the cost of living and decreased the pur
chasing power of the workingmen's ' del
lars. A reduction of the tariff which
would take off the duties from ho neces
saries of life and make raw materials
frco , would relieve labor and open new
markets for the products of labor. It
might reduce somewhat the profits of the
industrial monopolists , but it would
greatly onlareo the commercial field in
which they could dispose of their wares
With the cost of living lessened , and in
creased employment given to workingmen -
men , there would soon ccaso to be any
more suggestions about restricting immi
gration. But as longas competition in
selling goods is stilled for the benefit of
the industrial monopolist , the question of
ofisettmg the evil by stilling competition
in the labor market is bound to como to
the surface. As wo have said before , it
is simply carrying out tlio high protective
theory to its logical end.
Extravagant Scientists.
The investigation into the extrava
gance of the geological survey has
brought out the information that at the
present rate of progress $17,000,000 will
bo required to complete the work of map
ping out the country accoraing to the
present programme. Congress naturally
feels that tins enormous amount of money
could bo put to bettor advantage , and it
is quito right. If the true inwardness of
the survey business were brought to light
it would make a very interesting chapter.
Ilayden worked the mine for
all that it was worth , while
his parties of incompetent boys
and needy relatives "explored" and ro-
explored the territories ot the west. A
more shameful fraud than some of the
reports printed under the sanction of the
government under Hay don's manage
ment was never perpetrated.
Hundreds of thousands ot dollars were
invested in printing private researches
carried out by college professors and
warring scientists for their own private
bonoilt. Professor Capo , of Philadelphia ,
succeeded in getting his descriptions of
fossils nobly illustrated and published by
the government in the highest style
of art , free of all cost , nnd
now Professor Marsh , of Yale , is
engaged in the aamo business at national
expense.
Volumes of the report of the geological
survey are filled with valueless essays on
industries which have' only the most re
mote connection with the work of the
survey , Other volumes simply duplicate
or correct the poor work in preceding
volumes. Extravagance , verbosity and
repetition , with an immense accumula
tion of useless facts with little or no
bearing on the objoctn for which the sur
vey was created , have boon the crying
defects of its administration.
It is not to bo denied that some good
work has . been done , but it
has been entirely disproporlionod to
the oast. The larger part of the money
spent has been wasted , It is an opcs'so-
crct that several years ago-- Professor
Hayden was paid heavily by Clarence
King to permit iii fto reap the full bene
fits of tHa government's generosity.
The bill to consolidate the surveyH nnd
limit their scope which is now before
congress , is a good one , and should pass.

County Grading.
If there is any thing like an equalization
of the assessment this ycnr , both the city
and county will be put in a financial con
dition to carry out many needed improve
ments. This will bo especially the case
with the county in regard to grading ,
The rapid extension of Omaha beyond
the present city limits and along the va
rious leading thoroughfaics wcbt and
south will make heavy demands upon tlio
grading funds. As Omaha nnd its sub
urbs pay more than nine-tenths of the entire -
tire county tax , it Is right and proper that
the expenditures for her benefit si ould
bo proportionately largo , The county
commissioners are recognizing this fact
to some extent by making the city more
accessible than it has boon to the adja
cent country around it , But the direc
tion which building operations and con
sequently local travel have been taking
for a year past over the hills and into the
county readers it all the more important
that the commissioners should at once
make their preparations to extend an d
straighten the roads which follow the
lines of Omaha's principal streets into
tha country and to establish
fixed grades BO that purchasers
ot county po | > erty can build
without fear of future disturbance.
The .commissioners have done good
work in grading street oxtonslons into
the county , but tlioy should now strain
every effort to increase the amount al-
ready accomplished. Farming lands
around Omaha are now becoming ex
ceedingly valuable on account of their
nearness to our markets The people
In the county no less than the citizens of
Omaha have a right to demand easy ac
cess into the city and through the
suburbs , Every street graded outs'do '
the city or in the varloas additions ad
jacent to the principal county roads
means a stimulus to building nnd an in *
crease in the county tax list. The work
done on Farnnm , Cuming , Thirteenth
and Lcavonworth streets by the county
commissioners has been a handsome In *
vestment of county funds. It has ma
terially increased trade facilities for our
farmers and Improved the adjoining
property. If it has not raised thn tax
llsta no ono but the assessors nro to
blame.
Oooil Salaries I'ny.
Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Jcnks has resigned to take u position as
advisor to a young millionaire at a salary
of $10,000 a year. Mr. Jcnks' retirement
is a loss to tlio public service. It affords
another instance of the wisdom of a
policy of high salaries for valuable pub
lic ofliclals. Tnlont and ability command
their prlco everywhere. A $10,000 law
yer , except in exceptional Instances , will
decline to bo a $2,690 judge. A business
man who can earn his $5,000 a year in
tr.ulo will not bo strongly atractcd to a
responsible public position which will
bring in only half that amount.
England learned this lesson long ago.
Her officials are huulsomoly recom
pensed for their labors. There is a strong
pecuniary inducement for honorable ri
valry for responsible offices. Men are
not expected to make heavy sacrifices to
servo the public. On the contrary the
government places a premium on men of
brains and successful administrators. It
bids for the best and It gets them , be
cause it is the highest bidder.
In the older settled states of this coun
try the same policy has been adopted
with the judiciary. Judges are given
long terms of olllco and salaries suilicicnt
to attract successful and brainy men to
thn bench. Some of these days Nebras
ka will learn the lesson that in public of
ficials as well as in everything else the
best is in tlio long run the cheapest , even
if it docs not happen to bo the lowest
priced. Good salaries pay.
IN another column will bo found an aiticlo
from the BIB regarding the Inelllclency and
general incompetcncy of Maishal CummuiRS
*
and his force to all of which the Herald
Kives clieprtul endorsement Hcritld.
The BEE has not referred directly or
indirectly to Marshal Ctimmings as the
Herald very well knows. The marshal is
no more responsible for the selection and
pay of the force than the editor of the
Herald. The trouble lies with the system
under which couneilmcn appoint their
favorites to places on tlio force and pay
political debts at the expense of the public.
Incidentally since the Herald has raised
the question , wo will take occasion to re
mark that under Marshal Cummings' ad
ministration the police force is better
disciplined and managed than it has been
for years before , while the fines collected
foot up nearly double what thox did
under his predecessors. The marshal is
all right. What wo want is n bettor
calibre of roundsmen , more of them , a
graded pay roll , and a reform in the
system which will take the police force
out of politics.
Tun council took prompt action in re
gard to labelling the streets at its last
meeting by instructing a committee to
confer with the gas company and to as
certain the cost of having the names
painted inside the street lamps. The
matter is u pressing ono , and should bo
pushed until the work Is done. Sign
boards on the street corners are also
needed , but they should bo simple strips
with the narnq of the street in white
with a dark background. The offer of a
company to furnish the same in combina
tion with their own advertisement
showed enterprise , but naturally did not
meet with favor. Any oneof a dozen
patent medicine firms would gladly make
the same contract ,
LIEUTENANT GOVEUNOH Ginns , of
Texas , promises Cleveland 250,000 ma
jority in that state if ho takes a wife and
runs for the presidency again. It is
pretty safe to bet that Mr. Cleveland will
be married next month , but it is by no
means certain that ho will bo nominated
for the presidency in 1888. There is a
wide difference between matrimony and
politics.
Mn. GLADSTONE lias carried. Ills motion
to push the consideration of the homo
rule bill by devoting four-fifths of the

the grand old man gave to the enemies
of homo rule. Perhaps the next will bo

Pnoi-Kimr owners gji Tarnam street
should mpye . at once in securing tlio

Other things bomg equal , the cable com
pany would prefer to locate the line on
Omaha's leading thoroughfare.
TnK council has taken action in regard
to street signs by referring the matter to
the committee on. public property and
improvements , to make a contract with
some painter for doing the work. It is
hoped the committee will not pigeon-hole
the resolution.

by two wings. The total height to the
pinnacle of the tower will bo 130.the length
will bo 110 and the width , including the
approaches , 140 feet. The main material
entering into the construction of the build
ing will bo rock , with cut stone trim
mings. The main entrance to the rotun
da will bo very wide and arranged In the
lorm of an arch and supported by heavy
columns consisting of immense blocks of
flowed stone. Immediately above the
heavy projecting pediments will bo sup
ported on either side by heavy double
rows of Doric columns. An excellent
feature of the plan selected is that while
it is entirely complete in itself it may yet
contemplate an enlargement of the struct
ure whenever the increasing wealth and
business of the territory may demand it.
