COMMISSIONER COI.KMAN values the cnttlo of tliis country at f 1,500,000,000. Tills shows an enormous increase in tlio business during the last ton or fifteen .years : The railroads ot the country , however , have mutlo more money out of cattle raising than the farmers and ranch men. TIIK reul estate booms throughout the rouutry nro having their effect uuon Wall street gambling ami speculation in the necessities of life by the withdrawal of money from them. Real estate booms may bo wild nt times and in some locali ties disastrous , but they entail no such losses us are sustained in stock gam bling. PKOFKSSOH G. HKOWN OooDE , assistant secretary of the Smithsonian institution , has been appointed to succeed the late Professor Uaird , as commissioner of llsh nnd fisheries. Solicitor McUue lias re signed the position , for which ho was eminently unfitted. Tlio new appointee is thoroughly qualified for the duties of the position and familiar with the meth ods of his eminent predecessor. TIIK examining committee of the Chicago cage board of trade reports the discovery of nearly 400,000 bushels of inferior wheat in the elevators of that city. It baa been stored awav as No. 3 , but had deteriorated below the required standard by being Kept in the bins too long. This Bluff has been an incubus on the market for some time , but has now been taken off and an upward tendency in prices 19 looked for in the wheat market. CANADA has furnished nn example which the United States might well imi tate. Joseph llickson , general manager of the Grand Trunk roiul , has been in dicted by a grand jury at Montreal for manslaughter , the result of the railroad wreck of July 13. If the courts do their duty and the people have nssuranca that railroad officials will bo hold responsible for disasters caused by reckless negli gence , there will bo greater safety in railway travel. ANOTHKII attempt is to be made by oil producers to come out from under the oppression of the giant monopoly , the Standard Oil company. A stock company has been formed at Lima , O. , known as the Ohio Oil company , with a capital of $500,000. If tjils concern is no more suc cessful than its predecessors it will bo n dismal failure. For .years the small pro ducers have been held in abject subjec tion by the Standard , and although they liavo combined time and again to escape from the clutches of the millionaire mag nates , their efforts have always proven abortive. Tins is labor day in the leading Amer ican cities. Now York City will have its usual monster parade. In some way the movement has become peculiarly iufec tious , and oven the grain gamblers passed n resolution that they would adjourn the exchange nnd enjoy the holiday. 1'erhap.1 they think that by tins "mark of respect1 to the tellers they will bo able to pacifj in a degree thu feeling which has boor raised against them by Powderly'i masterly arraignment ol the transaction ! in which they are engaged. Organized labor , however , judges its professed friends by their daily deeds , not by holi day demonstrations. TIIK stool mil ring of Pennsylvania 1ms made its first allotment for the noxi year of 800,000 tons. This amount will be divided up among the mills in ratio tc tlio capacity of each , The design of this attempt to limit the out-put la simplj that the prlco of homo product may bo kept up to nearly 100 per cent above n Seasonable figure. That this is true is proved by the fact that foreign rails con tinue to be imported at a tariff of 100 poi cent. Still , In the face of this palpabli extortion an increase in the duties 01 iron and steel is demanded , la there n < limit to the greed of our gigantic monop Host The plea that a higher tariff will in crease the earnings of the laborers am mechanics in the rail mills , is dlsprorec by the fact that no material increase ha boon made by the steel rail syndicat during the past two years , although rail have gone up from $ 'J3 to $13 par toi llnco 1835 , Ohio * Wool Men Moving. The Ohio wool growers have An nounced that they will renew the effort before the next congress for a restoration of the tariff on wool. They have pro claimed their hostility to the manufac turers who use largo quantities of for eign wool as enemies to the producers of the country , alleging that it was their In fluence that brought about the tariff leg islation of 1833. The manufacturers of the domestic product nro to bo invited to unite with the producers In the effort to procure n restoration of the tariff. The Indications nro that the pressure upon congress is to bo renewed with Increased vigor , but In the present temper of the country the effort must bo a hopeless one. The Ohio wool growers claim that under the reduced tariff the sheep husbandry in the United States has ceased to bo remunerative. This staple argument of all Interests seeking protection may have force as to the Ohio producers , but t Is extremely questionable whether it will hold good as to tlio producers of the whole country. The fact that the pro- luctlon of wool has rapidly Increased in Jullfornla , Colorado and Now Mexico must bo accepted as pretty good evidence hat it is not an unrcmunoratlvo Industry u those sections. It is true that the con- lltions there nro much more favorable lian In Ohio , but If the producers of that state must contend ngainst odds which the sheep husbandry of the mountain ranges of the far west escape , the consumers of ho country will not see tlio justice of oil- setting this disadvantage by iucrcas- ng tariff duties which they must pay. At every session of congress for the past four years the wool growers of Ohio have come for ward with this satuo appeal to have the arid'restored , that they have been unable - able to make a case that commended tsclf to serious consideration. Even Sen- itor Sherman , who voted for the reduc tion in 1883 , has not seen his way clear to the support of the demand for the res- oration of the duty , nnd certainly ho would bo as likely to look with favor upon the claims of the Ohio wool pro- iluccrs ns any man , if ho could find any sound and sufficient reason for doing so. The Ohio wool growers will discover that the time is less propitious than ever be fore for the success of tbeir efforts. The country demand ? a policy the opposite of that they desire , and it is at loost cer tain that there will be no increase of tar iff duties. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Some Plain Talk. The "few plain words" which John A. McShano's editor takes upon himself to address to the president of the board of trade , in connection with the call for the meeting Saturday night , reminds us of the fable of thu inflated bullfrog. Who is this person who assumes to instruct the board of trade of Omaha as to what they should and should not doat the forthcoming meeting ? Is this person a taxpayer or in any way responsible ? Why should the board of trade take its instructions from n hired man who can pack nil his valuables in fifteen minutes by the watch , pick up his grip-suck and bid good bye to Omaha any day in the year ? Hut oven if this person voices the sentiment of the proprietor of the Herald , his impudent and dictatorial talk is sim ply unbearable. "You are probably aware , sir , " says this adventurer , ad dressing himself to Max Meyer , the president of the board That Mr. Edward Kosewater yesterday circulated a petition among certain selected business men , the purport of which was a re quest by the signers tbat you , as president of tlio Omaha board ot trade , call a meeting of business mentaxpayers and leading citizens , at which meeting the differences between tlio city council and tlio police commissioners , ( both bodies being present by Invitation ) , with a view of harmonizing existing differ ences. "You are also doubtless aware that It Is Mr. Kosowater's plan to exclude from that meetIng - Ing any citizen whom you fall to Invite. "You are further aware that Mr. Kosowater , the projector of Oils mpotlng ln bis paper announced that tbo purpose of the meeting was a partisan one to make the council re trace from ita position. * # * * "Now , tbo Herald makes bold to say that It that meeting resolves upon a partisan and uncompromising stand , It will not help mat ters one bit. It Is within the knowledge of tlio writer that the city council cannot bo bull- do/.ed out of its position. "There can bo no comnromlse of any kind whatever unless Webber S. Seavey U de > posed , from the position of chief of police. " Now let us say a few plain words. The object and purpose of thu meeting is plainly set forth in the call. The board of trade is composed of more than twc hundred bankers , merchants , manufac turers , real estate dealers and profes sional men. They nro called together for tlio purpose of voicing their unbiased sentiment on the course of the council with regard to the police force. Other respectable taxpayers who are not mem bers will bo invited in numbers limited by the capacity of the chamber of com merce. The mayor , council and police commission are also invited to bo present. They are , however , expected to listen nnd hear the views expressed , rather than monopolize the time by ventilating their grievances or explaining their conduct. The mooting is called with n view of impressing upon our public servants tlu fact that they are expected to represent tlio will of their constituents , and in order that they shall not bo in the dark us to thnir sontimont.1 on the matter o police management. The mooting is under thu auspices of the board of trade In view of last winter's oxporicncft n the charter meeting which was dls turboc nnd nearly broken up by n gang o roughs nnd hoodlums , the board has vorj properly excluded all outsiders who arc not invited by the secretary. The meet ing will bo n representative gathering o : business men and tax-payers. The notice served by Hivscall's mouth piece that the dismissal of the present chie of police is the ultimatum of the coun cil is in itself sodlcloua. It is proof posi tlvo that the chief conspirator arrogate * to himself powers which the law express ! ; confers on the commission. If otho counciluien who have been his dupe propose to defy public sentiment and ig nore the law as defined by the olty Rttor ney they will prove thnmsolroi rocrean to ttiolr trust. This is plain talk. The nuslucii Men'a i'rotrct. Tlio call for a special meeting of the board of trade , to which loading buslnoa men nnd taxpayers have been invited will bo the first opportunity for a publii expression of popular sentiment on the course of tun council in obstructing tin police commission in its effort to glv this city proper police protection. To tlio' business men and prop rty owners of Omaha , thl is a question ot vital concern. An efficient , well-disciplined police is essential to the protection of life and property. The experience of other cities has demonstrated that the only way to In- sttro ofllcloncy in the police force Is to divorcu it from politics. To this end the framers of our charter have created a po lice commission with full and exclusive power to appoint nnd remove policemen , and govern the forco. The desperate nnd lawless effort of the council to nullify the charter in this regard and Its audacious attempt to in timidate nnd stampede the regular po lice , appointed by the commission , by publicly denouncing thorn as pretended policemen , and notifying them that no pay will bo allowed for their services , incites resistance to authority , disorder nnd anarchy. At this stage it behooves our law-abid- ng and tax-paying citizens to pu-t in a protest. And that protest , whether heeded or spurned , should bo emphatic. There can bo no .compromise with an archy , even when the conspirators and abettors are councilmcn. It is to bo hoped that every member of the board of trade will be present. Tim Case of Stanford. The country is watching with a good leal of interest the case ot Lcland Stan ford , chiefly with reference to whether the administration will take any action In this matter or will permit this recusant witness go his way conscious of having practically set tbo government at defi ance. Although it has been decided that tbo investigating commission has not the power to compel Stanfoid to answer questions , the courts are open , and the country believes it to bo the duty of the government to appeal to the courts. It does not seem probablehoweverthat , this will bo done. The assistant attorney general is quoted as saying that it would bo hardly proper to proceed in the courts until the investigation is completed. Why such a proceeding would not bo proper is not apparent. There is no room for a doubt respecting the ability of the srov- eminent to make a case ngainst the cor- ruptionists. The evidence already se cured and the still more important evi dence to which it points , is believed to be ample to wan ant proceedings. It is not pretended at the department of justice that this is not so , but there appears to bo a disposition to evade responsibility and leave Mr. Stanford to be cared for by some other power. The effect will be that he and his colleagues will gain more time In which to prepare for defensive operations , and undoubtedly they will improve it. The administration seems to bo blind to its opportunity in this matter. There is n chance to strike a most effective blow for popularity , but the administra tion evidently lacks the courage to do it. lioss Hascall has completely lost his head , as be always dors when ho is given a little brief authority. Hecuuse he ran ahead of his ticket last spring for the first time in bis career ho imagines lie has the whole city by the horns , and can do just as ho pleases , law or no law. lie will probably find out that ho caunot defy public sentiment with impunity just as he could six years ago when ho stood out as the leader of the Holly boodle gang in the council , nnd forced leading taxpay ers to appeal to the courts for protec tion. Hascallity was given a very black eye by the courts nnd Huscall himself was consigned to private life on Thir teenth street for a few years. We arc not finding fault with Pat Ford in doing everything in his power tocro- ate disturbance and give countenance to thugs and habitual law-breakers. lie is notably the special representative in the council of the Third ward roughs and bums. JJut such men as Uailoy and Counsman , who pretend to respectability and decency , ought to bo ashamed of themselves in playing cat's paw for lias- call and Ford. Wn.r , Boss Hascall or any of his dupes toll our citizens why they passed that se ditious resolution , notifying regular policemen that they have no right to make arrests and will get no pay , just on the eve of the fair and grand army re union ? Is it not plain on its face that they mean mischief nnd want to precipi tate disturbance ? OLD Mnnville , who bus been living on the city OVI.T since his olcctum and naa lived on tlio top shelf of the saloons on $50 a month , wants to be one of the county commissioners. That would be nice , wouldn't it ? What a line chance for bumming and Doodling that would be , ANY concessions which the council may make on the appointment of special policemen during the fair , cannot and will not justify its seditious course in re fusing to vote pay or give olliciul recog nition to the regular police. TIUIK : : can bo no talk about the ap pointment of a new chief of police sc long as the council bosses persist in in tcrfering with and dictating to the com mission. The council must learn to re spect and obey the law. PAT Foitu says that the HKK calls ovor.v member of the council a boodler who re fuses to vote it the city advertising , Thi * is not true , but wo do say that overj boodler in the council is down on tlu Other LnnrtH Than Onri. The war of the British government or the land league continues the chief topic of discussion in Great Britain. It was in timated a few days ago that the cabinc was considering the expediency of modi tying the proclamation , but their hi : : been no evidence thus far ( hat it had an ] such purpose. On the contrary all thi indications appear to bo that the govern nient will mlhoro to the policy it has sc far piirsucd , and may oven increase tin harshness of its measures. Mcanwhili the league is active and aggressive , hold ing meetings with regularity which an largely attended and characterized b ; _ roat enthusiasm. The course of tin government has really given the league i prestige , and it has within a few day ; admitted to its ranks several proml nent Englishmen. The trial of Mr O'llrinn opens on the 8th of this month Any attempt by the prosecution to straii the moaning of thu crimes net as affect ing Mr. O'Brien's case will bo the ooca sion of a Gerco protest by his colleague in parliament. The conservative whip will bo obliged to keep 200 member within hail to prevent a surprise , Thi appointment of Mr. Chamberlain us the chief of the llrltish- fisheries coramlisRm appears t'o bo regarded with entire satis- fadtion by the English press. His super ior qualifications for the work are ad mitted , and there Is a feeling of confi dence that this controversy Is now mak ing satisfactory progress toward settle ment. In the 10co of all the difficulties which hare been raised in the last six months to check the preparations of the French Universal exhibition of 1830 , the authori ties still push on their project , nnd nro now beginning daily to announce some now success Thus , It Is no longer quite clear that Germany , Russia , and Austria will definitely decline to porllcipato oven officially. The campaign waged against the Germans and their commercial role may possibly prevent Germany from sending any but artistic contributions ; but many modifications of opinion may occur within the next fifteen or eighteen months. South America , naturally North America , and most of the smaller Euro pean countries , which nro cot directly within the Influence of the Triple Alli ance , have sent in their com plete adhesions , and the French government li using every oflbrt to make it clearly understood that the celebration - bration of the ccntcnnary of the French revolution and the Industrial and nrtistio universal exhibition will bo entirely sep arate and distinct. This separation is wise as well as necessary , anil so great is still the prestige of Paris in Europe tbat when the time comes we may expect to sco upon the Champ do Mars a much larger grouping of Industries and arts than In 18U7 or in 1878. Certainly the preparations are grandiose enough. Many thousands of workmen have been toiling on the Champ do Mars for moro than six mouths. Most of the founda tions of tbo vast buildings have already been laid ; tlio great basin in which the Eillbl tower is to stand is partly built , and the French jurors on the difYorcnt groups number some 1,800 of the leading industrial , commercial nnd artistic digni taries of the land. * * A temperance movement is making extraordinary progress in Norway , it has especially talon : hold of the peasan try and the laboring population in the cities , and is working a great change in the sentiments of the Norsemen on this subject , and their habits are showing a corresponding change. The consump tion of alcoholic liquors averaged , ten years ago , six litres annually for each in dividual ; in 183-1 the official statistics showed a reduction to three ; and if sta tistics were obtainable for the last two vcars , a very largo reduction even from this figure would probably bo observed. Within a few years ) 030 total-abstinonco societies , with a membership of 70,000 , have boon formed , besides a number of Good Templar lodges and blue rib bon societies , which will unite in light ing the drink evil. Prohibition is , for the first time in the history of Scandinavia , beginning to attract attention as a possi ble political factor , and an address to the Starthing demanding a law prohibiting the manufacture and importation of al coholic liquors obtaiuod in a short time the signatures of 03,000 , men and women over twenty-one years of age , although it was not by nny means generally circu lated. In tlio province of Christiansand a similar address obtained 33,000 signa tures. Twenty or thirty members of the Storthing are also members of.total absti nence societies ; but they were not elected as representatives of this idea. In short , wo may look with confidence for a pro hibitionist party in Norwegian politics in the near future ; and in Sweden and Den - mark there are indications that similar forces are at work. * Cuba has always been a hotbed of revolution elution , nnd the atrocities which have from time to time boon committed there have scarcely been paralleled in modern history. The island is again in a condi tion of revolt ; nnd , contrary to all prece dent , the volunteers , between whom und the native Cubans there have always existed bitter jealousy and enmity , have joined tiie rioters. Any progress which might have been made in the prosperity of Cuba lias been obstructed by the oppressive character of its gov ernment 'and by the venality of tlio captains general , who have always been sustained by the authorities at Madrid. The present revolt , however , difiors from previous uprisings. Captain General Marin is opposed by political bodies who have evidently boon profiting by tlio ad ministration of Salamanca , nnd who therefore resent his removal. The fight is a struggle of corruption against purity , nnd illustrates anew the capacity of any branch of the Latin race for appreciating the advantages of good and progressive government. If the uprising shall not bo promptly quelled wo shall doubtless soon hear of a revival of filibustering by sonic of our soldiers of fortune. * * * It scorns to bo certain that China has at Jast granted to American capitalists the railway and telephone concessions which English , French and German syn dicates have been eagerly seeking for fioino years. This is u most importhnt commercial event. It moans not only the opening up of China by railways and the stimulus of trade all over that grout empire , but the creation of a great market for American goods , particularly iron nnd steel for the construction of these roads. It moans also the creation of a great market Jor American silver. The development of railroading in China by American capital will work of course great industrial results not only for this but for other countries. England will expect to furnish the stool and Iron. She can undersell any other nation , but American steel and iron men are so highly protected nt homo that they can well ; afford to , nnd without doubt will/put * their products upon the Chinese market at much lower figures than , upon the homo market. They will thus successfully compote with England or Germany in this respect , and will bo favored by the Philadelphia syn dicate. Silver is tbo standard ot value in China. Heretofore India has been the chief market for silver for coinage pur poses , but the stimulation of trade in China by railroad building would oi course greatly increase the monetary circulation and create a wide demand for American silver. In short , the com mercial supremacy of the United Stales in China will bo eiVucttmlly ostabllahn d if Mr. Barker succeeds in ratifying tbu proposed agreement. The riots at Ostond are said to , have 'made a difference In the supply of the London fish markets. The Belgian toilers ot the sea urge that they are put to a dls * advantage by the lack of R tariff against foreign fish entering their homo ports while their own must pay charges in llrltlsh nnd French markets , llonco , when an English bark last week sought .0 enter at Ostond with n cargo of fish , .ho local population attacked the crow nnd destroyed their fish , Of course this was conduct for which the authorities , liad they allowed it , would have been licld answerable to the British govern ment , nnd hence the police nnd mllltiri were called out with the serious results already recorded in loss of life and in wounds. The troubles may not yet bo over , slnco the fishermen will be rein forced by their returning comrades , and new attempts of English vessels to cuter may create fresh trouble. What the Belgians want is cither free trade in the ports of their duties or else duties at tiorao on the imports of those who impose like restrictions on Belgian fish. * * * An evidence of the suspicion and un rest which prevail in Europe is scon in the arrest of the two secretaries of the minister nt wur for disclosing to a news paper a plan for carrying the mobiliza tion scheme , which the government wished to keep secret. Not only Franco but also Germany nnd Russia are using every effort to kcop tbo results of their army mobilization a profound secret from each other. Those maneuvers have virtually the same relation to a rent battle tbat a dress rehearsal haste to the public production of n play. They test the efficiency of the various corps , and tlio result often brings about a change in diplomatic tactics. That there is a strong war feeling in Franco cannot be doubted ; and the premature divulging of the government's plans , if it should lead to even a temporary abandonment of the scheme , might servo only to in crease the spirit of defiance and cause manifestations which would widen still further tlio breach between the two countries.
