KANSAS CITY has just opened a now railroad to the southwest. It was built by a local syndicate and runs one hun dred and ton.miles bouth into a rich coal and agricultural district. Being a local road , evorj thing that it luiula vrill bo laid down in that city or dis tributed from it , and , therefore , the lit tle railroad is bound to bo of great bene fit to that metropolis , It is well to call to mind that not a thousand miles from Kansas City another city is building a local road , but the latter , unfortunately , exists only of paper tracings. Mu. CLUVKLAXD'S position on the llslioricsquostion-in the light of his re cent retaliation message , puts Mr. Bay ard in tv delicate position. Mr. Bayard is directly robponsible for the obnoxious treaty rejected by the senate. Mr. Cleveland emphatically repudiates it , in his recent message. Consequently the policy of the president IB in direct opposition to the policy of the secretary of state , and as the weaker must go to the wall Mr. Bayard , according to diplomatic etiquette , ought to resign. -At least sucli would bo the con&equonco if Mr. Cleveland was in earnest nnd was not playing a shrewd political game. AUGUST has boon a peculiar month in n meteorological sense. The tempera ture has been bulow the average and the closing days brought with them frosts moro or less severe in the extreme northwest.

The freaks of the weather liavo turned all signal service calcula tions topsy-turvoy. General Groely would consider hhiibolf fortunate if ho could predict the expectation of an early winter , or the chances of a long open full duo to the low average temperature during July and .August.

The natural inference must bo that in spite of the immense milling , wheat , lumber nnd railroad Interests of Minneapolis , and In splto of thu largo jobbing trade of SU Paul , Omaha with her packing houses , cattle and hog market , rail roads , manufacturing establishments , nnd jobbing trade , does n larger busi ness thau either of the twiu oltiea of the northwest. IInil-Heartc-l ( Senator Gorman of Marjlntid , an ox- ] > ofloncod and shrewd jioliUclnn. was recently reported to have said that democratic success is to bo achieved only by the hardest kind of work. Of course , as a democratic leader nnd cam paign manager , ho profewd to believe that his party would win , but hia prophesy of victory was not framed in the Itingtiapo of absolute confidence. For a man who is actively in the fight , with excellent opportunities to know what is going on throughout the coun try , the view taken of the situation by Senator Gorman was not such ns to reassure his party. On the contrary , it was a rather gloomy and dcmpomlont view , and it muy be rt1- marked that the Maryland senator i-j th'1 last man to regard the Mutation in this wnj without very good rcu-on. Not Ics slgnillcnnt is the opinion on the ii'f-liMitial ) outlook of Mr. O-wald ( ) tt ( nderfer , editor of the Now York > M"f < - Kiiiumj , contributed to Th ? 7ijw/i. / Ir. Ottenderfer is n very earnest &up- lurler of Mr. Cleveland , but in prophe- ylng hi.s ro-eleotion thuro is a want of hat vigorous heartinenhlch i the vidcncc of complete and unquestioning onfidoncu. Mr. Ot'ondorfor admits .hat the German vote of IN'ow York l not bo as largely with the lemocratic parly this year as it was bur years ago , but ho conjectures that liis diversion of democratic votes may ) o offset by defections from the rcpub- icans a surmise not at all calculated o strengthen democratic hope. Mr. Ottomlerfer apprehends that the local quarrel in Now York over the govern- ship "may tend to dampen enthusiasm unong the democratic voters , " but ho endeavors to nho\v \ that ho islet lot altogether hopeless in the follow- ng spiritless way : "I hardly believe , hat the disaffection to which t have alluded will result n the loss of Now York state to the democrats. I imagine that the i-oters will bo able to discriminate. " Could anything short of a positive prc- iliclion of defeat bo loss reassuring to a party than such half-hearted expressions from a man of long political experience uid conceded ability , who most earn estly desires the success of his party ? \nd this discouraging view of the out look is rather emphasized by the advice of Mr. Ottonderfer to the democrats to boar in mind that if they expect to win in this election they must exert themselves to dtllusc the proper kind of information among the people , " and the further suggestion that New York state is the great battle ground , "and to win the vic tory bore will require hard work. " There is no real confidence behind these expressions , and they are signifi cant and important as coming from the editor of the loading Gorman organ of democracy in the United States , who is doubtless as familiar as any other man with the democratic situation in Now Yorlc , if not in the country at largo. Such opinions contrast strontrly with the sentiment that prevailed among leading democrats so recently as a month ago. and they indicate how strongly the current has been setting in favor of the republicans. Is there any good reason to suppose that the po litical tide will not continue to auspic iously ilow in the same direction during the remaining two months of the cam paign:1 : The Dolnycil Tariff Bill. The delay of the tariff bill promised by the republicans of the senate is not doing the party any good. Whatever may bo the real reasons for it , and wo do not question that they arc sulllcient , it is a fact that they will not bo generally - ally understood , while the delay affords the democrats an opportunity which they are improving to cast o < 1oubt upon the sincerity of the promise of a senate tnrift bill , and to impress the idea that there is suoh a diversity of views among republican senators as to pre sent an insurmountable difficulty. On the one hand the correspondents of republican newspapers at Washing ton have btnted almost daily for n month past , on the authority of prominent sen ators , that the proposed bill was to bent nt oneo forthcoming , while on the other hand the correspondents of democratic papers have just as regularly reported that the disagreements among senators could not bo adjusted and that there was no probability of any bill being re ported. Thus far the latter have seemed to bo the bo&t advised , and it cannot bo doubted that their roproMHitntions have hud ftotno effect upon the public m'ud. ' Lasteok Senator Sherman , speaking for the finance com mittee , said the republican bill was almost perfected and would bo reported in a very short time. IIo stated that it would receive the support of every republican senator , and ho thought also the approval of the party and of the country. Since that time there ban been hold a caucus of the re publican senators , from which word was sent out that the bill wa.s practically ready and might bo expected to bo given publicity within ton days. If this as surance is kept the bill will bo reported about the middle of next \\eok. It is quite possible thcro is something in the statement that it has been doomed ex pedient to withhold it until after the Maine election. But it ought to bo obvious to republi can senators that In this matter a much further delay will bo dangerous , oven if there bus -not already boon harm dono. Having promised the country a tariff bill no oxcnso can be invented that would satisfactorily explain to thousands of voters the failure to report one. If ditlcruncos still exist the inter ests of the party demand that they shall bo promptly adjusted. It is of the highest Importance that republican senators shall show the country that tlioy are able to hnrmonizo on this question and to unite upon a revenue policy which shall clearly dollno the attitude of the party. The country has been led to expect this , and while disappointment would bo perilous to the party , it will bo unwise to delay much longer the fulfillment of the promise. It is to be hoped the last assurance given , that a bill will bo re ported within the next ton days , will not fail. Nobody expects there will bo any tariff legislation at Ibis session.b'ut i this docs not relieve tbg republicans of the senate of the necessity of clearly and fully denning their position. To ItfHtHot National. . Ono of the most persistent advocates of restricting immigration is the Now York 'Jimts. In a Into issue that paper snys : "We 1mvo a perfect right to pre serve as long as may bo the advantages which wo enjoy. The United States are not overcrowded , but they are no longer in need of immigration. " Tills in part h the policy which for centuries dlstin- guiibed the Chinese empire and shut it out from all communication with there ro t of the world. The theory of the rulorri of that vast empire , until within comparatively a few years , was Unit their people should preserve all their advantages to themselves , and every schoolboy knows the eon eri'.ieui'es of this blind and selfish isolation , so far as material conditions were-concerned. The man who advises that this country should , with miserly olflshness. deny any of its advantages .o the intelligent , honest nnd industri- > us people of other lands is not a friend , vho desires national progress and pros- lority. The assertion that the United States do not need immigration is confuted by , ho fact that a number of states tire call- ng for immigrants and doing all they can to encourage their coming. Of course the country is not over-crowded , icr will it bo a century hence , though the population should go on increas- ng in the ratio of the last quarter of a century , which it is not likely to do. The country does need immigration of the right sort. There is room in the south for millions of industrious immi grants , and all such would be welcomed there. The great west can still give homes to other millions who have the ability and the will to work. Why should a country capable of supporting live hundred millions of people shut its doors with a population of sixty mil lions ? No one will suggest suoh a pol- iey who has a national idea of the possi bilities of this country and can under stand thatitisasyot but in the first slugo of development. There is a great deal being said on this subject of immigra tion that is absurdly irrational , and the views of the Times are not the least notable utterances of this character. The policy that paper would have the country pursue would be most prop erly characterized as n policy to re- wtrict national progress. Tim constant irritation in railroad circles nnd the domorali/.ation'of freight and uasseiigor rates both east and west point to an early dissolution of the great Trunk Line Association. This combi nation followed the various "pools" which the inter-state law made illegal. But it 1ms proven itself incapable of securing - curing anything like co-operation among the various roads. The great problem before railroad managers is to dovUo some way by which uniform rates may bo maintained. Looking at the situation from a railroad point of view , the roads are menaced from without and from within. From without pressure - sureis brought to boar to prevent dis crimination and unjust charges ; while from within the competition of the lines themselves makes it impossible to main tain anything like stable and uniform schedules. The disruption of the Trunk Line agreements , if no other combinations were entered into , would leave each rend free to act. This might prove to bo the great panacea after all. For in that event competing lines would finally bo forced to mulco rates us low as is consistent with legitimate business and so do away with the evils of discrimination. PniNTiNO a directory of disorderly houses under the cloak of social reform is decidedly suggestive. Why don't the champion of the social crusade print the names of the property owners who rent promises to dive-keopors. There is where the reform should begin if it over will amount to any thing. Dispersing the bad and vicous from one end of town to the other will not do away with the social ovil. When men who rent houses for criminal pur poses are hold up and punished as the law provides , there ma.bo . some slight decrease in the number of persons who earn tholr livlihood by vice. , ! T MAY bo conductive to public mor als to uncover the mistiness and vilo- iicss of inmates of dives and dons in the Third ward , but it seems to us the en terprise of our Douglas * street cotem- porary has reached a climax when it prints a business directory of the houses of ill-fame , with street numbers and mimes of the keepers at a time when thousands of people are in the city from abroad. To n man up a tree it looks very much as if the intended expose of decency is after all only a scheme to help these bad people to pat- ronngo. THE broom of the streot-sweopoi needs a now handlo. Omaha is paying an enormous sum for swooping hei streets , and it is scandalous that the contractors are allowed to do such wretched street-cleaning. If the board of public works has power to enforce the contract , now is the time for the board to show its efficiency. THE county commissioners persist in their blunder in pavingonly a forty-foot roadway on the Seventeenth street front of the court liouso. Wo may safely predict that the narrow gauge pavement - mont will * bo torn up nnd widenei within the next live years. He Ouuht to Hluah. PMlatMphla Lcdatr.

'ii coxoUKSS. Senate. WASIH.VOTON , Sept. 3.-i-In the senate to-day the house bill excluding the Clilncsa ab o' lately havinp eome over from the houie , was taken up for notion. At ilrst Mr. George noved Its reference to thu committee on for eign relations , but that course was resisted > y Messrs. Stewart , Mitchell and ldlpnnml Mr. Vest declared himself prepared to veto for the bill Immediately under lliesu circum stances. Mr. George then withdrew his mo- .loti to refer. Mr. Sherman made a statement as to the course of the committee on foreign relations on thu subject , and advocated the passing of the bill * u the prouml lhat every nation had a right to provide for Us own preservation , oven in contravention of existing treaties. Mr. Hutler "If this bill should become n law would It not bo in direct contravention of the treaty between the United States and China I" Mr. Sherman "I think that the bill Is inconsistent - consistent wllh the treaty , btitns the Chinese government declines to make the proposed changes wo have nu unquestioned right to pass this bill. " Mr. Hutler "So there Is a treaty existing now between the United States and Chum , with which tliis bill cornea In conflict ! " Mr. Sherman "Undoubtedly ; because undo" It Is provided that for a certain tjmo and under certain circumstances Chinese laborers , who have been here , have a right to come buck , and It Is only because Its pro visions have been violated by fraud and perJury - Jury that .such a law as this is Justifiable. " Mr. Hutler "Then you admit that this bill is a violation of the treaty , nnd , therefore , a violation ot the coiistituiion of Iho Uuiled States } " Mr. Sherman "I deny the ergo. " Mr , Hutler "I will tuko buck the ergo , be cause it is not a violation of the cuu.stiiution , but you admit that it is u violation of the ex isting treaty. " Mr. Teller "Tho term 'violation' Is not a proper term where thcro is u legislative dis placement ol u treaty. 'Abrogation' is the term. " Mr. Hutler "Xow I understand the sena tor from Ohio to state that this will be a violation lation of the existing treaty. " Mr. Sherman "I did not use the word violation.1 Mr. Hutler "Wlmt Is the wordl" Mr. Sherman "It is an abrogation of the treaty , Just as a law may bo abrogated , A treaty Is n law. " Mr. Hutler "This Is abrogation , then , of the treaty between the United Status and Cliiuui" Mr. Sherman "It is a substantial change. " Mr. Hutler "Is this the form In which it is provided that the treaty may bo abro gated ! " Mr. Sherman "It is not , but thcro Is no doubt of the power of congress to repeal a treaty if it chooses to oxercibothat authority. Every nation has that right. " Mr. Hutler "I understand that very well. Hut it seems to mo that this whole Chinese business has been a mutter of political ad vantage , and that wo have not been gov erned by that deliberation wnlch the gravity of the question requires. There i.s a very Im portant presidential election pending. Ono house of congress passes a bill to drive these poor devils of Chinamen Into the Pacific ocean , and the other house comes up and says 'Yes , wo will drive them still farther Into the Pacific ocean , notwithstanding the treaty between the two governments. ' I shall vote for the bill , but I am very sorry to bo informed by the senator from Ohio that it is n violation of the treaty. " Mr. Teller "Not n violation of it. " Mr. Hutler "Well , abrogation of the treaty. " Mr. Mitchell "Is the senator from North Carolina willing to vote for a bill which would , In his Judgment , contravene the pro visions of the existing treaty ! " Mr. Hutler "Ves , under the leadership of my distinguished friend from Ohio ( Sher man ) , who would not hesitate a moment to abrogate the treaty and violate the provisions , so for as the Chinese are concerned. " Mr. Mitchell "Is It the opinion of the sen ator from South Carolina that the pending bill does contravene any of the provisions of the existing treaty ! " Mr. Hutler "I have no opinion on the sub ject , because I am not informed upon it. Therefore I appealed to the beimtor from Ohio , and ho tells mo that it does. " Mr. Mitchell "Then the senator from South Carolina is shutting his eyes and will ing to vote for the bill about which ho has no opinion nt all ! " Mr. Hutler "You ought not to complain of that. " Mr. Mitchell "I am not complaining of it. I want to know where the senator stands. " Mr. Uutler "Itight behind the senator from Oregon. " Mr. Mitchell "Good place to stand. " Mr. Hutler "It gives mo great pleasure to follow him. If ho leads mo astray ho will beheld held responsible , and not I , The bill is an open , flagrant violation or the treaty between tills government and the government with which It is on terms of peace and good will. " Mr. Mitchell "Does the senator think that a repeal of the existing law Is a violation of that law 1" Mr. Hutlor "I think thcro is a good deal of politics in this whole business , and it is not a very seemly thing , either. Hut for the fact that wo are on the eve of a presidential election , and that each party wants to get the vote of the Pacific slope , this scone would not bo enacted in the somite. " Mr. Mitchell "Tho senator is speaking about his own party. " Mr. Teller "How about the house of rep resentatives passing the bill ! " Mr. Hutlor "Tho republican senate pro poses to 'see the house play unu go ono betler. ' That is the plain English of it. You may call it contravention , repeal or an abrogation of the existing treaty , but the plain English of it is that it is a violation of the treaty. You cannot dodge it. " The debiito was continued at much length by Senator Gray , who deprecated the action of the senate in putting unnecessary amend ments on the treaty , which would have fully accomplished the purpose of thopcndingbill , and by Senators Stewart , Vest , Dolph , Mitchell nnd George. The latter made a long argument to prove that the republicans \voro responsible for the HurlliiL'amo treaty , and for the rejection of various measures to restrict Chinese immi gration. The bill went over till to-morrow , and the fcnute adjourned. IIOUHU. WASIIIXIITON , Sept. 8.

Two ofllceis of the regular army have been detailed to Inspect the encampment nnd Major Habcock , of Fort Lcavenworth , and Colonel Whe.iton , were the assistants this year. They huvo been greatly pleased with the condition and appearance of the guard , and they speak In high terms of llselllcicne.vand acquirements.

The crack company of the lowu troops is the Muscatlno KIllos , It Is a very superior organl/ation of young men , who take pride In thu company unu drill constantly. It has taken part in a num ber of prize contests all over the United SUtcs , and possesses a number of trophies which It has won. It was one of the best drilled and most admired companies at the great encampment at Washington a couple of years ago.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 3. Last spring the board of trade of Lincoln , Neb. , nnd some individual shippers at the bamo place began proceedings before the Inter-state commerce commission against various railroad com panies engaged in transcontinental trafllo through that city , complaining they wore un justly discriminated against Lincoln anil in laver of Omaha and other Missouri river points in charges mailo for the transporta tion of property from the Pacltlc coast. Ho- fore a decision was rendered the railroad companies modified their traflle sheets so as to give Lincoln the same rates as have been to Omaha. This change removed the cause of complaint and persons complaining were given leave to withdraw their petitions. An Krroiioou * Impression. WASHINGTON , Sept 8. Chairman Cooley , of the inter-state commerce commission , on his attention being called to a dispatch from Chicago regarding rates over the Southern Pacific company's road , said that if Trafllo Manager Stubbs Is talking on the subject as is reported , ho is talking without warrant from anything said or done by the commis sion. It is not in his power , ho said , to make rates between Now York anil Pacific coast points ns low as he pleases , nnd nt thu same time put rates between interior towns and the Pacific coast ns high as ho pleases , but there are considerations of relative quality and Justice which cannot bo ignored , nnd that have been kept steadily In view In all that the commission has said in its rulings hith erto. They will be kept Just as steadily In view hereafter. Dmiumt'u Inspecting Tour. WASHINGTON , .Sept. 3.
