NKW YORK is now moving to abolish
imprisonment for debt. The general im
pression that the state had abolished im
prisonment for crimu has been happily
"removed by the jailing of the loader of
'the boodle aldermen in Sing Sing.
-KEEI.T has added three tuning forks to
his motor , but there is a general impres
sion that , it will take a whole brass band
with a calliope attachment to make it
move satisfactorily to the capitalists who
have put their money in the hopper.
THE iron industry is not duacl by any
means. On the 1st of May there were
1,297 blast furnaces in operation in the
United States , with a weekly capacity of
110,33 : ; tons. The number of idle fur
naces was 850 , with u weekly capacity of
70,207 tons.
THE "garden sass" bureau of the gov

seed and 300 of tobacco , 00 quarts of

20 each of corn ami sorghum , to distribute

TUB trouble with the eight hour move

Without n general reduction in hours all
over the country success was impossible.
But shorter hours will certainly bo forth
coming sooner or later. The ball was
.sot in motion and Is not yet At rest. The
lot result of the agitation is that 100,000
employes secured concessions In time
mul wages or in both , and that the whole
/country / was set , to thinking about the
question of reduced hours of labor as it
Mover did before ,
. ONLY five votes wore finally cast in the
eenatu against the Staten Island barge
bill , which will permit the Bultimoro &
Ohio railroad to reach Now York harbor
without paying tribute to the Pennsylva
nia railrond company. The Now Jersey
hirelings of that great monopoly fought
manfully for their employers , but the ob-
juqt of their obstruction was too appar
ent. The Pennsylvania's was the victory
for the people who protested against con
gress being used us tliu tool of a giant
monopoly ,

Omnha nnil Elsewhere.
There is not a grain of jealousy on the
part of Omaha when she notes the growth
and progress of the smaller cities nnd
[ owns of Nebraska. Why should there
1)0 ? The same causes which contribute
to her own growth nro aiding in their de
velopment. The same state surrounds
them , the same public spirit nnd enter
prise on the part of their citizenship
grasps opportunities as they present
themselves nnd turns them to the local
nd vantage. Kvcry new locnl trade center ,
built up from village to town , nnd from
lown to cily. opens n wider field
In which Omaha merchants can
compote for business. Every
dollar invested in improvements ,
every community made nioro attractive
for foreign capital only adds to Hie
wealth nnd stability of the state of which
Omaha's growth is only the rejection ,
nnd in whose material prosperity the
prosperity of this city is so largely bound
up. Oniulin has grown and is growing
because she Ins Nebraska and the west
back of her. Her business men realize
thoroughly that their commercial inter
ests depend upon their ability to build
up and maintain business relations with
their customers us ngainst all com
petitors. The wider the field
the better the opportunity. The
stronger nnd larger -and richer
and inoro prosperous our cities of the
second class nnd our towns rapidly approaching
preaching this dignity , the butter for all
concerned. So far from there being nny
ground for jealousy on the part of Omaha
over the prosperity ot Lincoln , and Hast
ings , nud Fremont , Healrico and Grand
Island , and. a half dozen other of our
pro.sperous and growing cities nnd
towns , there is only room for mutual
congratulation. Nebraska needs and
will have more of just such active ,
bustling , bus ; , nnd prospering communi
ties , und Omaha will most cordially ex
tend her felicitations us they keep pace
with her own growth and the general
growth of the state in which they them
selves are no inconsiderable an clement.
The FJuRluoss Situation.
There is an improved feeling noted in
commercial circles , owing to the partial
adjustment of labor troubles , but the general -
oral volume of business throughout the
country has not materially increased
during the past week. Reports from
eastern centres note that the fear that the
mpairmont of the purchasing power of a
large class of consumers by the strikes
and lock-outs of the past two months
will operate to the disadvantage of dis
tributors for some months to come , is
causing a good deal of hesitancy in the
demand for many lines of manufactured
goods. This is especially noticeable in
the unwillingness of small manufactur
ing concerns and country jobbers to con
tract for supplies in advance of
present wants. The scrutiny of
manufacturing credits is n little
closer in certain quarters , owing to the
unsatisfactory condition and prospects of
some branches of trade. Geuerally.how-
over , the weeks developments indicate a
briglitoning outlook for business. The
recent storms and sudden changes of
temperature have done little if any harm
to leading agricultural interests , and the
favorable crop promise contributes to
promote confidence in gradually improv
ing trade conditions. Business failures
are decreasing throughout the country ,
H. G. Dun & Co. reporting a total of 107
failures in the United States and Canada
last week , ns against 170 the week
before nnd 193 the previous week.-
Wool is weaker and the business is re
ported irregular and unsatisfactory ; to
manufacturers. The distribution of dry
goods has been a little more active ,
owing to au improved demand for re-as
sortment from jobbers. Interior mer
chants have been placing u few orders
for fall goods , and the situation as a
whole is reported ns a little more encour
aging than last week. Export demand
for staple cotton goods is more nctivc.
Orders for 50,000 tons of , rails were re
ported last week , and there has been a
good business in plato , skelp nnd pipe-
iron , but the general iron trade has con
tinued quiet. Pig-iron makers are not
accumulating stocks , as contracts in
hand and a moderate new business
keep supplies under good control. The
produce markets still show u declining
tendency. Wheat prices at the close of
the week wore 1 $ to 3 cents per bushel
lower on the seaboard and J to I of a
cent lower in Chicago. The greater de
cline in the winter wheat markets is duo
to free selling on the prospects of nn
early and satisfactory harvest. Spring
wheat values have boon relatively well
supported because of the comparative
remoteness of the now crop and because
exporters Have boon buying freely for
through shipment to Europe. Tlicro has
been very little export demand for win
ter wheat , but the total sales and clear
ances of all varieties have been larger
than for some weeks past. There was
an increase ot 1,440,000 bushels of
wheat on passage to Europe , but the
domestic visible supply decreased 2,350-
000 bushels , and expectation is set for u
steady and largo falling oil" in stocks be
tween this date and July 1. The strength
of foreign markets , larger exports and
decreasing stocks are nil favorable to
greater steadiness if not to some advance
in prices after the recent sharp decline ;
but for the present the boar influence
seems to bo in the ascendant , nnd it is
depressing values in defiance of condi
tions that would bo likely to produce an
opposite effect If crop urosppcts were less
encouraging. Corn prices are 8 of a cent
liwor for May delivery in Now York and
Chicago , owing to the weakness in wheat
values anil to u bettor grading of receipts
nt Now York , Export demand has been
moderate , and there has been compara
tively little speculation.
Stock Watering
When Mr , John I. Hlair was in Omaha
a few weeks ago , ho made his boast that
liis Nebraska road , liku the Baltimore &
Ohio , had been capitalized only at its
cost. When the annual meeting of tliu
directors took place at Norfork last
week , it was decided to bond the road for
$20,000 per mile , and to increase the stonk
by $15,000,000. In other words it was decided -
cided to bond tliu road for every dollar
that it would cost to build and equip it ,
and in additiou to inject $10,000,000 of
water Into the stock.
This means that the patrons of the
road arc to bo perpetually taxed to pay
dividends 611 a fictitious caultal of lifteup
million dollars. This [ a (1)9 ( ) worst feature
of the American system of railroading ,
It in Hit ) source of the most glaring
wrongs in the. mattor'bf transportation
charges and the primn cnu.io of our labor
'
troubles. Hero is one llno'of road out bf
three or four systems that run west of
the Missouri , Issuing 115,003,000 of bogus
stock upon which the holders expect sir
per cent in nnnti.il dividends. Nine
hundred thousand dollars annually to bo
ground out of the patrons of the road
chiefly in Nebraska , ever and above the
cost of operating nnd interest on the
nctual investment.
And yet wo are told by railroad men
nnd their favorites that there is no cause
for a revolt against the methods which
they are pursuing. It is a private enter
prise , you know , in which capitalists
have put their millions , nnd it is nobody's
business how they maungo it or what
tributu they levy upon their patrons.
John 1. Ulnir and his associates nro
now doing what the Union Pacific , B. &
M.and all other western roads have been
doing for j'ears. They build a railroad ,
vote tlioinsulvus bonds for all they have
laid out and then issue themselves mil
lions of stock as capital which represents
merely the ability of the road to tux the
producer for all that the traflle will bear.
Nearly four thousand millions of ficti
tious capital is now carried on the books
of American railroads. This is one thou
sand millions more than the national
debt ever reached and fully three times
more than the present interest bearing
debt of the nation.
The men who demand a radical change
in this destructive method of railroad
taxation arc frequently classed with com
munists , socialists and anarchists. And
yet they arc the clement which proposes
to protect the property of the farmer ,
nnd the product of the mechanic from
virtual confiscation by railway barons
who have grown to be billionarics in 0110
generation by piling up mountains upon
mountains of fraudulent mortgages and
fictitious stocks. This system of extrav
agant bonding and bogus stock issuing
must bo rooted up or the country will
soon pass entirely into the hands of the
Stanford * , the lluntingtons , the Goulds
and the Vandorbilts.
The Park Proposition.
We second the motion that the county
shall set apart a hundred acres of the
poor farm for a park. In so doing the
county need not necessarily part with
their title to the property. They could
pass it over to the citjr on a ninety-lino
year lease if it seemed desirable , with
stipulations that certain sums should
bo spent each year in improve
ments nnd maintenance of the pro
perty. Such a plan would bo money
in the pocket of the county
outside of Omaha. The sixty acres re
served should surround the park and bo
at once laid out into generous lots and
sold to the highest bidder over the ap-
praifced value. There would bo no trouble
at all under such circumstances in
securing at least $135,000 from the sale of
the lots thus eligibly located. The best
class of residences would promptly seek
such a location and the money from the
sale would be suflicicnt to purchase land
elsewhere and erect a line county almshouse -
house and hospital.
A proposition to this cfi'cct would carry
by a handsome majority at the next elec
tion. Both city and county irotdd be
benefittcd and each would favor the plan.
On the one hand Omaha would get a line
addition to the chain of parks with which
it is proposed to line the city. On the
other hand the county would receive more
money for the land than if the property
had been sold as proposed last fall.
TUB sad death of Mrs. George II. Pon-
dlcton and the injuries received by her
daughter , through a runaway accident in
Central Park , is being used as a text for
many sermons warning people to retain
ther seats under such circumstances. The
Cleveland Leader thinks that "had Mrs.
and Miss Pendleton remained in their
seats they would have escaped practically
uninjured , for their horse ran into a bush
and stopped within 150 feet of the placu
where they jumped out , without damage
to himself or the carriage. To jump is
certain to result , especially in the
cnso of women , as disastrously as
to bo thrown out , while there
are many chances of escape without
serious injury bv remaining seated. Even
men , inoro stalwart of limb , better trained
in jumping to and from vehicles , and
unencumbered with skirts , are generally
safer in following this advicogiven above ,
while in tliu case of women it should be
considered imperative. Not ono woman
in a thousand can jump from a slow mov
ing street car without sustaining injury.
To attempt it in the case of a Hying runa
way is almost certain to result in being
crippled for life or killed. It takes a
great deal of firmness and presenceof
mind to remain seated under , such
circumstances , but ninety-nine times out
of a hundred it is the safest thing to do. "
THEHK is a great deal of cry and very
little wool in the opposition to Senator
Van Wyck which lias developed in a
ridiculous minority of the state press.
The organs of Laird and Weaver and the
railroads , who are publishing and re
publishing extracts from the kennel
club of yelpors against the senior senator
are , of course , interested in convincing
the people that there is a terrible revolu
tion of sentiment opposing the re-election
of Van Wyck. As a matter of fact , the
republican papers which are advising
against General Van Wyck's return are
less than ono-twontloth of the entire state
press. Most of them fought his election
to the scmito six years
ago , and have made it
their business to abuse him and his poli
cy ever since. There is not a single antimonopoly -
monopoly paper in the state to-day which
is barking in the chorus of mongrel curs
against Senator Van Wyck's candidacy.
Of the so-called republican papers who
are opening their usual fire in the rear
the old linio residents of the state only
need to bo informed of their names in
order to account for their bushwhacking
tactics , When the time comes for devel
oping sentiment on the senatorial cam
paign , some unpleasant surprises will be
in store for the gang.
WE must have a city scavenger and the
council will fail in iU duty if it npg-
lects any longer to make provisions for
the disposal of ewijl and garbage , Hot
weather is on us and the assorted variety
of stenches which greet the nostrils is
daily increasing. Most of our citizens
would gladly pay well for the removal of
swill if they could find anyone to under
take the job regularly.

The Pi ess claims that "Kearney now
has a population of over 5,000 , 'and is
building right along , more rapidly than
any other city in central Nebraska. Her
situation and natural advantages are bet
ter than those of almost any other town
in the statn , and witli two railways nnd
two moru to como this season , and the
completion of the water power , she will
soon lead all other cities uxcupt Omaha. "
The substantial growth of the interior
towns is shown by thu fact that every ono
of prominence is negotiating for , or has
already contracted for , a system of
tor works. Contracts have already boon
let and works are under way in Plaits-
mouth , Fremont , Grand Island and Hast
ings. The cost in thosu towns will roach
$200,000. The towns of York and Co
lumbus will open bids for water works to
day , and will join the widunlng circle of
progressive and high pressure towns bo-
foru the summer fades. Nebraska City is
a trifle behind the procession , but there
is reason to hope that she will "get a

Sharpers Who Got heft.
Detroit Free Press : Thuro is a sharp
er's game which has beun played for the
last hundred years , and as the turning
point is avarice tiio game works forty-
nine times where it fails onco. Two
sharpers set out a few weeks ago to play
it on a Wayne county farmer. One of
them came along one day and wanted to
buy the farm. As the farmer wanted to
sell it was quite eay to strike a bargain.
The price was to bo $4.000 in cash , and
man handed over 250 in cash to bind
the bargain Within two days a second
stranger came along and wanted the
farm. He wanted it so bad that he
couldn't stand still. He found indica
tions of coal , natural gas and coal oil ,
and ho was willing to < rive $0,500 for the
place. The idea wns , of course , that the
farmer would be awful sick of his tirst
sale and seek to buy the mnn ofl' . It
would pay'him to ofl'er the man $1,500 to
release him.
The second stranger was only out of
his sight when the lirst one turned up
again , liis mouth watered over the pros-
pout but not for long. The farmer ex
plained that ho had been oflered $2500
more , and added :
"But I don't care for money. The $ } , -
000 is enough for mo and its all the old
farm is worth. When you're ready to
pay the balance we'll make out thu
papers. ' '
The purchaser offered to release him
for $1,000 $700 $500 ? yOO but the far
mer didn't want to bo released. He hung
to thu bargain-money , and he's got it yet ,
while the pair of sharpers rave and gnash
their teeth every time they think of the
thickness of his skull.
