Becoming Americana ,
Shortly after the celebration of the
queen's jubilee by the subjects of Great
Britain residing in Boston , a largo num
ber of them , admonished by the public
comment on the fact that they remained
aliens while enjoying all the practical
advantages of citizens of the United
States , decided to abandon their allegiance -
gianco to the queen and become Ameri
can citizens. It was developed that there
were several thousand in Boston , chiefly
Englishmen , who had lived there for
longer or shorter periods and were gen
erally prosperous , who had never ser
iously thought of making a change ol
citizenship. When the obvious impropriety
prioty of continuing in that way was
pointed out to them , however , thn largo
majority of them promptly admitted It ,
and many of them at once took the Initial
stop to become oltizous of this country
The example has had its effect in othoi
cities. The British residents of Cleveland
land , O , , have become interested in the
matter , and it is reported from Chicagc
that a naturalization movement ha :
sprung up among the English , Scotch
nnd Canadian elements ot that olty. II
is estimated the number of these people
in Chicago Is fully 50,000 , half of those
being Canadians. There are more than
twelve thousand males of voting age , and
of these the highest estimate of the num
ber naturalized is about four thousand ,
Hence there are m Cnlcngo botwcer
eight and nine thousand English , Scotcl
and Canadians who have resided then
long enough to have become citizens o ;
the United States , but who have no
availed themselves of the opportunity.
It is quite probable that this
movement will become general among
the English and Scotch residents of the
United States who are still unnaturalizcd. .
and who intend to remain hero. Thoj
can hardly fall to bo impressed by the
example of their countrymen in Bostot
nnd elsewhere of the Impropriety , to saj
the least , of remaining aliens while claim
ing nnd enjoying all the advantages ol
citizenship except political rights , anc
the most intelligent of them must sec
that to do so will in time subject them tc
just reproach. It is a fact that while all
other nationalities make hasteto obtair
citizenship in the United States aftci
coming bore , the English and Scotch an
extremely reluctant to abandon thcii
allegiance to- the British government
and it is rarely that one ii
found who does not hold
tenaciously to his prejudices in favor ol
that government. This la a form of hos
tility which Americans are disposed tc
regard as essentially ungenerous and un
fair , and which they naturally resent ,
one effect of which is to keep alive here
an unfriendly fooling toward England
But if sentiment shall have no effect in
making citizens of these aliens , pohcj
will undoubtedly induce most of them tc
become such. The general tendency tc
enact laws affecting the property right !
of persons not citizens will certain ! }
operate as a very strong incentive to nl
aliens having or seeking to acquire prop
crty in this country to make theraselvei
secure against all contingencies by becoming -
coming citizens.
It is unquestionably the Ameri
can policy that every man wh <
comes to this country to roraai nshall for
swear all allegiance to the country fron
which ho carne and accept all the righb
and obligations of American citizenship
It is desirable that all who come htre t <
stay shall assimilate themselves to oui
political system , identifying themsolve :
with us both in sentiment and interest
Only in this way can we have a homogeneous
genoous population , united in sympathy
aims and aspirations.
The Railroads Get The Profits.
The situation of the beef market is i
matter in which everybody has an in
terest. The investigation and discnssioi
of the subject now in progress ought t <
result in accurate information regarding
the course which have produced a partia
demoralization of the cattle business , at
explanation of the reason why the con
sumcr tins continued to pay a high prici
for beef while cattle depreciated to fig
urcs which left no profit for the stock
men , nnd an ascertainment of who hav <
reaped the largest benefits. Ono fact ii
established , and is that the consumers o
the country at largo have not found thei ,
roasts nnd t > tcaks cheapening in prici
with the docllno of cuttle. The butch
ers have maintained their charges re
gardless of what the stockmen wen
compelled to accept , meeting every sug
gostiou of a reduction with the assuranci
that they had to pay just as much as eve
for desirable meat. It is equally ccrtaii
that for a considerable time the cuttli
raisers have not been making money. Fc
a year past they have been engaged n
efforts to devise plans for improving tboi
position nnd for mutual protection , am
it is only now that they are beginning t
see a promise of more favorable condi
tions.
It has been suspected and charged thn
the dressed beef interest was making al
the money. A great deal has bean writ
ten about the ring controlling this trad
with respect to its unfair minipulnllon o
the market , its unlawful compact wit !
railroads , and ita unjust and des
potie treatment of the cattle men
In reply to all this Mr. P. B
Armour says that the whole troubl
comes from ovor-produotlon , and tha
the idea of monopoly and the trcmondou
profits of the dressed beef men Is absurd
The business is open to anybody wh
may wish to go into it. This statoinon
of the case may not be entirely convinc
ing , but it comes from very high author
ity.jind the inquirer must perforce lool
elsewhere in the efforts to find where tin
profits go. The best evidence at hani
shows that the railroads get the largcs
share of them. Mr. Armour says the ,
get nioro out of the cattle business tha
anybody else , and a bettor return tha :
for any other olass of 'business they dc
The Chicago Tribune , which has bee
giving very careful Investigation to thi
subject , points out that it is the rail
roads that are really getting about allth
advantages from the cattle business. Be
fore the Inter-state commerce law wen
into eftcct the railroad * charged 65 cent
a hundred to ship beef to Now York am
gave a rebate of 20 cents. There ha
been no change in the rate , but now th
railroads keep the whole of It. The 3
cents that was in other years the profi
of the dressed beet men should in fair
ness now go to the consumers , but-in
stead It swells the coffers of the railro.-v
companies. 'Tho question whether1 th
present rate is not unreasonable in yic\
of the /act that in past years the railroad
were satisfied with-2Q cents loss is. to b
passed upon by the Intcr-stato commerce
commission , but it is questionable
whether there is In this any hope for the
consumers.
The Interstate commerce law destroyed
the compact between the dressed beef
ring nnd the railroads , thereby materially
reducing the profits nnd lessoning the
mischievous power of the former , but
these results have boon no advantage to
the consumers , for the reason that what
the ring lost tha railroads gained , The
dressed beef men are now engaged in a
conflict with the railroads from which
the general public may ultimately reap
some benefits , but this cannot bo re
garded as assured. The fact Is , that un
less the existing dressed beef monopoly
Is utterly broken , and the railroads
brought to such rates as their past course
has shown to be.satlsfactorlly profitable
to them , no very material relief can bo
expected for either the cattle men or the
consumers of beef.
la the Interest of Money Lender * .
When the legislature last wlutorjpassod
the bill which prohibits non-resideni
aliens from acquiring or holding real es
tate in Nebraska , nobody imagined that
this bill was an ingenious scheme to put
money Into the pockets of Nebraska
money-lenders. On its face the bill wag
directed against the foreign land barons ,
nnd intended to prevent their monopoliz
ing Inrgc tracts of land , either directly
or through foreign syndicates. Incident
ally the acquisition of real estate in this
state by non-resident alien liolrs was In
cluded in the prohibition.
Upon close inspection , the bill also
contains a proviso which lias the cfl'cct of
shutting out all foreign capital in the
shape of loans and mortgages. In a let-
just received at this ollice from n bank
ing firm , which 1m its chief source ol
money supply In .London's Wall street
our now law is quoted as a bar to any
mortgage investments by foreign capital
ists. The following extract from this
letter explains itself :
By an act passed by the last session of the
lectslature wo are are now prohibited from
loaning money on real estate In the state of
Nebraska. The act Is known as the
alien land law , approved march
31st , 1887 , and is clearly meant to
prohibit land holdings by foreigners , but
could hardly be Intended to stop foreigners
from loanlnt money In the slate. Yet It does
so In the following clause : "No nonresident
dent alien shall hereafter acquire or holU any
real estate or Interest therein In the state of
Nebraska , by purchase , devise or descent , "
There being a conveyance In the mortgage
deed , It Is clearly an Interest in the real es
tate conveyed by It. Wo are In hope that at
the next session of the legislature an act
will bo passed exemptlmt real estate
covered by mortgage from the operation ol
the act , and In case of foreclosure an allow
ance of three years time to sell It.
We shall esteem it n faror If at some time
you will call the attention of the public to
the act with a view to the repeal ot the ob
noxious part of It , ot course provided that It
Is not contrary to your own ideas.
We certainly shall favor the amend
ment suggested. It is in the interest
of the great mass of our
people , who are money borrowers.
They would profit by the compction of
foreign capital. The intent of the law
makers doubtless was to prohibit foreign
landlordism , not to create a monopoly
for homo money lenders. But wo sus'
poet'that some of the parties who on'
gineercd this bill had full knowledge ol
its scope. There were a good many 2C
percent per month members in the last
legislature.
An Infamoao Doclnlon.
Dispatches from San Francisco an
nounce a decision by Justice Field , of
the United States supreme court , deny
ing the right of the Paoih'o railroad in
vestigating committee to compel Leland
Stanford to answer certain questions in
volving the corrupt use ot money in in
fluencing legislation. This decision will
surprise nobody. Justice Field always
has been a rank monopolist on the bench
and in his decisions always aided with
corporations as against the government
or the people. Moreover , the Central
Pacific railroad cormorants have always
had the active and shameless support of
Justice Field through thick and tnin ,
It was perfectly natural for this rail
road judge to interpose his an-
thority in the circuit bench of California ,
in behalf of the Central Pacific boodlers ,
who have defiantly refused to account foi
millions of money which has been im
properly expended by them m thwarting
national and state legislation and in ad <
vancing their private interests to the detriment
trimont of their patrons and the govern
ment. The text of Justice Field's opinion
is made as plausible as a man who rides
across the continent in special palace can
at the expense of the Pacific roads coulv
possibly make it. The country wil
put Its iron interpretation upoi
this infamous obstruction of the legitimate
mate functions of the Pacific railroar
commission. Stanford , Crocker anc
Huntingtou may withhold their criminn
secrets from the commission , but congress
gross , if it does its duty , will compel
them to answer before a committee of its
own members with which no railroad
judge will dare interfere.
Undervaluation of Bulldlnga.
In computing the public improvement :
of Omaha for the present year Secretary
Naltinger , of the board of trade , quote ;
the estimated costs of buildings for whicl
permits have been given for the first si >
months of the present year , us nggregat
ing 12,708,075. These figures are decid
edly misleading. They were , of course ,
taken from the building Inspector's ro
cord.but that record is practically worth
less excepting as to the number and
character of buildings under construe
Uon.
In the first place , common experience
has taught that the estimates of architects
of the probable cost of buildings fall all
the way from 10 to 25 per cent below the
actual cost by the time the buildings art
completed. In the next place , our build
ing ordinance compels undervaluation
Instead of charging a nominal fee for i
permit to erect a building in the city lim
its , the stupid building ordinance now it
force imposes a high-license tax ot
everybody who has the enterprise to In
vest in building Improvements. The rat (
is graduated by the cost of the building
as if it were damaging to Omaha for an ]
citizen to invest extensively in brick nnd
mortar. The more substantial nnd ex
tensive the building the higher the per
mit to build. For every building costing
over | 5,003 ono dollar is charged , so thai
the owner of a block which would cos )
$500,000 Is taxed $350 for a permit.to im
proyo'tho property ofall , his neighbor ;
and addto the' real estate- value 'of 'the
whole city and Insure a permanent tax
income to the city as long as the block
stands. And yet " _ the actual cost
to the olty "for the so-called
inspection of such a bloce Is no greater
than that of the live-story tinder boxes
that stand near the Gettysburg panoramn
building. )
The natural result of such n policy is
undervaluation of every building that
costs over $5,000 in procuring the build
ing permit. The.Accord of the building
inspector as a'basis''fcom which to com
pute the actual coft of building improve
ments in Omaha if fictitious and utterly
worthless. Besides being unreliable , II
dots great harm to the city in advertis
ing to the world that our improvements
cost so much less than is actually ex
pended.
A striking illustration in point Is the
pamphlet just Issued by the board ol
trade , which prints as olllclal the worth
less estimates ot the building Inspector
record ,
The proper remedy should bo ap
piled by the council without delay. The
oflico of building Inspector was nol
created for speculative purposes , nor it
it desirable that an embargo shall bo laid
upon enterprise. A tax of two dollars foi
a permit to build a dwelling or storehouse
costing less than $3,000 would bo sufficient
nnd from three to ten dollars for buildings
that cost moro than $3,000 would yield
enough revenue to cover the expenses ol
the inspector's ofiico.
Wo wnnt an honest building record 01
else the inspectorship might as well be
abolished. As long as the present syS'
torn of high license on building enter
prise prevails , the estimates will remain
a sham and a delusion.
It is safe to add at least GO per cent to
the estimated cost of building under con
struction as reported to the inspector sc
long as the present ordinance remains Ir
force.
THE manufacturers of agricultural im
ploraonts have garnered a rich harvest
from the farmers of Nebraska nnd tribu
tary territory for years. So great ha ;
become the volume of this trafllc that the
manufacturers have found it expedient
and necessary to build and maintain
great warehouses and depots for the
storage and handling of their goods in
Omaha. They have made money whet
crops were short , and have amassed for
tunes in a single year following a gener
ally fnll crop in Nebraska. In view of tlu
magnitude of the implement trafllc
and the heavy demand for farm machin
cry which must always continue in this
great granary of America , it is strange
that up to this llmno effort has been
made on a IP rgo sdale to manufacture
implements in Nebraska. The field is
certainly as promising as it was in 111 !
nois years ago , anoj as it is In Iowa now
THE pretended indignation which tin

volver on the jailor , commanded him tc
throw up his hands. This Malick refused

ralled Foreman and Knight in the room
outside of the corridor. The officers
succeeded in disarming the prisoners ami
returning them to the corridor , thus end
