The Ittirllnitton'M Kntrrprlsc.
The contemplated change in the train
snrvlcp of the Burlington road is tin ad-
uuccd step which will bo greatly n ] > -
irccialcd in Omaha and bo of material
> cncfU to the city. The lirst change
vlll bo Inaugurated next Sunday , when
he Initial fast train will leave Chicago
or Denver. This train iwtorun through.
olid , crossing the river atPlattsmouth ,
oming to Omaha and thence proceed-
ng westward. The trainwith , the one
vhlch will make the same time from
.ho west , is only the first move in giving
ho public fast service between Chicago
ind Denver. On December 4 still two
nero trains , yet faster than the others ,
vlll bo placed on the road , shortening
ho trip by .several hours. These trains
vlll nlpo come by way of Omaha , nnd
lotwccn Chicago and this city the only
tops to bo made are atGalcsburg , Mcn-
dota , Burlington , Ottumwa and Cros-
on.
That these changes will be
ipprcciatcd by the traveling
itibllo goes without saying , but
hey will inevitably load to moro inno-
ations which will bo ol still greater
win-lit. This stop by the Burlington
n advance of its enmi > ctitot < .s will neccs-
airily force the other companies to cn-
li-avor to meet and surpass this enter-
ii'i.slng road. But the Burlington ofll-
eialn announce that they will not lie
urpasscd , and thus still another ad-
anco in western railroading will bo
iccomplished.
While those improvements arc of in-
ore-it to the general public , they are
mrllcularly so to Omaha. The bring-
ng of the fust trains through this city
nstead of continuing westward from
Mattsmouth will give travelers desirous
> f coming to Omaha opportunities which
hey have not heretofore enjoyed. The
ength of time consumed in the trip
rom Chicago lias always been u draw-
> ack which will now be greatly lessened ,
' "or all these things the Omaha public
an thank the Burlington , and its on-
erpriso will be acknowledged by the
nereaso of business which will follow.
liny a ( Settlement.
Edward Atkinson , the alleged political
economist , who is prolillc of opinions
and suggestions upon u number of public
incstions , bus evolved a plan of settling
ho lisheries controversy. lie proposes
Unit the government buy and annex the
nnritlmu provinces of Canada , and
thinks the United States could atTord to
my fifty million dollars for those pro
vinces if they could be purchased for
that amount. Havingbeeome our prop-
jrty there would of course bo an end to
ill dispute regarding fishing rights in
the contiguous waters. The author of
.his sohomo may find some satisfaction
M the fact that it has received quite as
much consideration as it deserves from
the public press , but ho can hardly have
found much that is flattering in the
character of the opinions expressed.
The very general view is that il is
utterly impracticable.
There has been u good deal of expres
sion in the maritime provinces of the
Dominion within the past year or two
favorable to annexation to the United
States , which is very likely the source
of Mr. Atkinson's idea , but it is by no
means to be regarded as certain that if
the consent of the people of the prov
inces to a transfer of allegiance was
sought tv majority of them would bo
found ready to give it. In the hard ex
perience they have had for a year or
two past these neople have felt at times
very bitter toward the Dominion gov
ernment , and while in such temper huvo
talked freely of revolution and annexa
tion , but wore the question of perma
nent separation brought squarely homo
to them for definite and final decision ,
it is moro than probable they would re
ject the proposition. The senti
ment of patriotism would assort
itself so strongly as to over
come all other considerations that
might bo presented. But assuming that
they would consent , it is not atall likely
that the dominion would permit them
to go on any terms. The Canadian gov-
ornnf\nt is quite as zealous of its pos
sessions as our own government , and
there are obvious and most important
reasons why it would not give up any
considerable part of its territory on the
sea coast.
But if no such obstacles wore in the
way of the proposed purchiibo the United
States does not want these provinces.
This country has territory enough
within its present boundaries for one
nation , and it would not conduce to our
future peace or welfare to enlarge our
area , particularly in the direction sug
gested. Wo are now n homogeneous ,
contented people , with no clement
among us to create dissension and strife.
To bring in now territory with a popu
lation familiar with another system of
government , having their peculiar
ideas and prejudices , and coming in
under such exceptional circumstances ,
it is hardly possible that no difficulty
would bo encountered In bringing
about a perfect assimilation and entirely
cordial allegiance. Furthermore , we
have more sea coast now than v e arc
willing to provide an adequate defense
for.
for.There
There is no necessity for seeking ex
traordinary expedients for the .settle
ment of the fisheries controversy. It
in absurd io suppose that two enlight
ened nations' cannot adjust this mattoi
wisely and justly if they will address
themselves to the duty in the propel
spirit. It is only necessary that on
both sides first consideration shall be
given to the general welfare , and thai
the demands of the special interests
involved shall have regard onlj
so far as they are clearly seen to bo in
accord with the general interests. II
the | Klicy ) of our government is to be
directed by the New England llshormon ,
who luuo indicated their determination
to make no concessions , and that of the
Dominion government shall bo denomi
nated by an equally selfish and unyield
ing spirit , the settlement of the dispute.-
by diplomacy is of course hopeless. Bui
wearo not yet ready to believe that the
governments will bo controlled by anj
such narrow direction.
Misleading Statements.
An irresiKJnssiblo and sensational
nowsgathercr somoweoksago sent from
Los Angeles , California , a dispatch tc
the Breton Globe in which ho stated thai
carpenters wore getting ashlgh ns$5.CO ,
plasterers $0.00 and bricklayers 87.00
per daj' , and went on to state that five
hundred moro mechanics could find
profitable work in Los Angeles at that
date.
date.Tho
The Los Angeles Tribune complains
bitterly of this mischievous dispatch ,
and says the consequence is that hun
dreds of carpenters are rushing to that
city only to find that they are not wanted
at any price. It is estimated
that there are now some thir
teen hundred carpenters at work in
Los Angeles , and owing to the scarcity
of building material the demand for
labor for months tn come can possibly bo
no greater than at the present time.
The Tiibtinc , while inviting immigra
tion to the "delightful southland , " cau
tions laboring men to investigate thor
oughly before making n long and ex
pensive journey in the hope of secur
ing work at good wages , only to find
hundreds of men with nothing to do.
The fool-killer should not sleep before
exterminating the sensational boomers
of the coast. Laborers cannot nlTord to
be thus deceived at any time , and es
pecially on the eve of winter.
The Nicaragua Project.
The projectors of the Nicaragua canal
have not been idle for some time past ,
and now that the outlook for the Pan
ama canal has become m'oro hopeless
than ever before , the American project
is not unlikely to have a boom. It is re
ported from Washington that the com
pany is getting ready to make a vigo
rous attack upon congress for an appro
priation. If this is true there lias been
a change of purpoic , and one that may
not bo to the advantage ot the immedi
ate promotion of the enterprise. % It has
been understood that the canal was to
bo built , if at till , wholly by private cap
ital , and that the company would ask
nothing from the government beyond a
franchise that would secure to it gov
ernment protection. Wo arc dis-
pobcd to think that this
is still all that is intended
to bo asked of congress. If it should
transpire , however , that an appropria
tion is necessary to enable the company
to go on with the enterprise , it is en
tirely safe to predict that the project
will luivo to be indefinitely poitponed.
There would probably be no serious pop
ular objection to congress granting the
company such n franchise as would as
sure to it government protection , but
there will bo a very general unwilling
ness to give the enterprise any financial
aid from the national treasury. There
has not been in the last twenty years a ,
moro unfavorable time than the present
to secure popular approval of any new
scheme to got money out of the public
treasury.
The projectors of the Nicaragua canal
some two years ago obtained from the
Nicaragua ! ! government valuable con
cessions , and last spring a con
struction company was formed , which
has just , held its first meeting in New
York. It has been understood that
preparations for preliminary work were
in progress , the company having suffi
cient money on hand for that purpose ,
and it has been stated tluit the intention
was to begin actual work next February.
The total cost of building the canal , it is
now estimated , will not exceed $05,000-
000 , and the claims put forward in be
half of the project arc certainly of a
mostpromising character. If it can bo
demonstrated that they arc reasonably
sure of being realized , there ought to bo
very little difficulty found in securing
all the private capital necessary. In
view of the almost inevitable collapse of
the Panama scheme , it is apparent that
now is the opportunity of the Nicaragua
project.
The Dairymen's Convention.
The Nebraska Dairymen's association
will hold its convention in Omaha on
the 18th , 14th and loth of next month.
The programme arranged gives assur
ance of an interesting and profitable
occasion. The subjects to bo talked
about are of a thoroughly practical
character , and those who will treat
them are fully qualified by their knowl
edge and experience to do so in a way
both entertaining and instructive. The
promise is that the convention will bo
largely attended , and we may here say
to all concerned in Nebraska's dairy in
terests that Omaha will be glad to wel
come them. The local committee ap
pointed to make arrangements for the
convention can bo relied upon to per
form the duty with intelligence and
thoroughness , so that all who may
attend the convention will find ample
preparations for their satisfactory en
tertainment.
The Nebraska Dairymen's association
has already accomplished excellent
work in promoting and improving the
dairy interests of the state , but as yet
those have not advanced far beyond the
first stage of development , nnd the pos
sibilities that lie beyond arc immeasur
able. So far us the dairy industry of
Nebraska is developed , however , it will
compare favorably in results with that
of any other state of the union. Many
of our farmers brought with thorn the
knowledge and experience acquired in
the east in the work of the dairy , and
have increased both since they became
Nobraskans. Therefore , our people
know as well as any others what is
choice In the products of the dairy , and
such products tire to bo obtained in Ne
braska of a quality not surpassed in the
fumed dairy sections of Now York and
Ohio.
But gratifying us is the progress
already made , there U room and will bo
a demand for a vastly greater develop
ment. Our dairymen need not bo satis
fied with being equi'l with the best ;
they should seek to excel all others.
There is every incentive to this , for the
soil of Nebraska yields grasses and
grains unsurpassed , and a rapidly grow
ing population within the stuto and
around it assures a demand for every
pound of the product at a prolitnulo m-k-e.
There is no plensantor and few more
remunerative occupations than a woll-
manuged dairy business , and the Hold in
Nebraska is very far from being fully
occupied. Wo have no doubt the com
ing convention can do much to stimu
late and advance this very important
industry , in the growth tuid improve
ment of .which every one of our people
Is interested.
A riiu.JiMir.n has been convicted In
the United Stilton district court , by a
jury of twelve men. It is to bo hoped
that this vt'rdlqt will have a healthy
effect , as there is. altogether too much
perjury in our courts. In thi.s case ,
however , as it no doubt often happens
in others , the guilty man appears to
have been the victim of bad advice. In
fact , the evidence adduced shows thathe
relied upon his advisor in a civil suit and
made affidavits .entirely false , without
oven reading the statements contained in
them. Sueli slupld'carolcs-snes's ' is hard
to e.Ncuse. When a inan records a sol
emn oath that a statement of facts is
true , as ho verily believes , he should at
least lie familiar with thesubjeetbofore
ho signs his name to the document. Yet
it occurs to us that in a case like this ,
where an attorney seems -alone the
cause ot making a felon of a poor ignor
ant man in the greed to gain
a fee , ho is at least morally
responsible , and while ho may not bo
charged with the commission of u crime ,
ho should at least receive u severe rep
rimand at the hands of the court. The
jury could not do otherwise than find
the man guilty of perjury , but , knowing ,
or at least believing , that ho had been
the victim of a lawyer's bad advice , it
recommended mercy. There is a broad
dilTercnco between the lawyer who
prides himself upon his integrity
and professional honor and the
unscrupulous shyster who preys upon
his client's purse. And the sooner men
who feel obliged to resort to the law ,
learn to carefully discriminate between
these two classes of attorneys , the bet
ter it will be for them.
TIIK meeting of the representatives
of leading eastern railroad compan
ies to discuss the heating of cars by
steam should perhaps bo regarded by
the traveling public as i-cassuring , but
in view of the HUlo progress thus far
made in replacing the stove with some
less dangerous means of heating , there
is reasonable grounds of fear that the
present and other winters may pass be
fore the desired reform is made gen
eral. It lias been pretty thoroughly
demonstrated , however , that cars can
be successfully heated by steam with
out materially reducing the motive
power , and the chief question now ap
pears to be the adoption of a uniform
system that will enable the cars [ of one
company to bo coupled with those of
another. It is to bo hoped the determ
ination of this will not be found so diffi
cult as to materially delay the reform.

foot.Councllmon
Councllmon Ford wus tbc first to secure
recognition , and movoil tlmt the action of this
board bo amended uiul thut now bids bo ad
vert Isud for. Ho oonsldured tlmt the mem
bers o [ tlio board ol public- works
were taking too much nutlior-
Ity to themselves , and intlniuU-d
tlmt the.V were not working in harmony with
thu council. They had on mivcrul occasions
antagonized tlio wishes and orders of the
council , mid Mr. Ford wus In favor of im
peaching them , beginning with the chairman ,
Air. Balcombe. The speaker was opposed to
giving1 work to men who employed convict
labor mm were known lobbyists. Ho said
that ho bud It from a lell.iblo source that Mr.
Novins had publicly announced thut there
was 110,000 deposited in u bank hi Omaha tn
secure him this contract , if necessary , "if
this is true , " said Mr.Ford"it , is Bill Stout's
money and not Kevins' . "
Motions to annul , lofcr , etc. , wcro made ,
when Councilman Hascall succeeded in being
heard. Ho begged of tlio eouneilmon to
weigh well their acts. Ho wus not in favor
of hasty action , and s.ild ho wanted to Bee the
foundation and lust wall of the stnictmo fln-
Ishcd before putting ui' 0,0Ksuperstincturo ( )
upon it thut was liable to topple over ut any
minute. Furthermore ho wanted fair play
meted out to the present contractors , and
that if they were willing to go ahead with
the work they should be given a chunco to do
so. On the other hand , if they refused to
comply with thostipulationsof their contract ,
their bondsmen were responsible to the city.
Ho moved to postppno consideration of the
matter until next Friday night.
Councilman Lowry thought the manner in
which the contracts wcro awarded to Nevins
& Co. was irregular to say the least. The
board had not complied with thu require
ments of the ordinances , inasmuch as they
hud not advertised lor bids for completing
the unfinished work of liogan Hrothers. Ho
favored the i ejectment of both bids.
Councilman Lee said that Kcgan Brothers
had not received u fair hearing , and tlmt ho
was opposed to the board letting contracts
under lock and key , as they had done in tlio
