The growth of the packing Interest in
South Omaha has boon one of the most
conspicuous exnmplosof western cnerjry
nnd enterprise. It hns farovcoodod the
expectations of tliO > > e who stai ted the
industry , and hns hold out the promise
that this mnrkot uould within tlio no\t
two or throe joars lead nil others in the
amount of its product. Under fair con
ditions , free ft nm artificial discrimina
tions , thcro is every reason why South
Omaha should attain to this position.
Most favorably located as a packing
( . cuter , nothing is needed but proper
enterprise and just treatment frim the
ralho.uls to place her at the front in the
great industry with which she is idon-
tilied.
I3ut the serious fact is presented that
tlieso conditions to progress are being
denied South Omaha , and that , the in-
tctcst which is the foundation ot her
prosperity , instead of advancing , Is In
danger of decline. In order to ascer
tain the cause of this TIIK HIK : has In
terviewed a number of the most promi
nent commission merchants engaged in
handling hogs and cattle , and their
statements of the situation are given
elsewhere. They merit careful perusal
by all who are Interested in this mat
ter. It will be seen that the
majority of those merchants allege
as ono cause of the reduction and
diversion of shipments a lark of enter
prise on the part of the stock yaids com
pany. While the commission men have
HMiiretl no otTort to advertise the South
Omaha market , the company , it is
chartred , hns tlono almost nothing to in
vite and encourage shipments to that
market. It permits to go unrofuted the
false representations regarding south
Omaha that are made continually by the
agents of similar companies from Chicago
cage , ICnnsas City and Sioux City , and
by the local agents for railroads ship
ping cast. As a , notable instance of
the illvorslon of" shipments fioiu
South Omaha , onei commission
mei chant stated that ho knew
of hogs being shipped to Sioux City
from within forty miles of Omaha. The
stockyaid companies elsewhere keep en
ergetic agents in the Hold , but the com-
] > my at South Omaha makes no such ef
fort to attract shipments to that market.
Furthermore , it is said this company
docs not supply adequate facilities.
Stock is unnecessarily detained at the
yards , causing a loss to shippers. The
interests of the packers arc duly cared
for by the company , while those of the
shippers and commission men are neg
lected.
A more serious drawback is the
discrimination of the railroads
against South Omaha. All loads
east of the river , it is stated , furnish
the best of accommodations and the
most satisfactory service for shipments
to Chicago and other points , while
putting every possible obstacle in the
way of shipment to South Omaha.
There is great difficulty in getting cars
for the latter market , but never any
trouble for shipment to Chicago. It is
alleged , also , that shipments to South
Omaha are delayed in every possible
waysometimes being oven sidetracked ,
so that shipments from western Iowa
reach Chicago before they do the
South Omaha market. The ton-
ucncy of these and numerous
other obstructive and annoying
discriminations is to discourage ship
pers , and the consequent diversion of
business from South Omaha has been
very considerable , with the certainty
that it must become very much greater
if the situation is not materially im
proved. It is not sufficient that the
packing industry of South Omaha bo
simply maintained. It should realiyo a
steady and substantial growth. This it
unquestionably can do if adequate effort
and enterprise are exerted. It would
seem to bo obviously to the advantage
of the stock yards company to co
operate with the commission men
in encouraging shipments to South
Omaha , and to Insure shippers every
practicable facility for ttio prompt
handling of their stock , and for their
protection against loss by delays or oth
erwise. As to the r.iilroad discrimina
tions , they may be more difficult of 10-
nioval than the other retarding causes ,
but it cannot bo impossible to remove
thorn in part at least. At any rate , it
is apparent that something needs to ho
done to infuse increased vigor and ac
tivity into the packing inteiestof South
Omaha , and all concerned in the prog
ress of this important interest should
lose no time in addressing themselves
to the task.
7 > GCLJAYiVO TltUST VALUES.
The general decline in the value of
trust shares and securities shows the ef
fect of iccent judicial decisions and pro
posed legislation. There is no reason
to suppose it is duo to any diminution
of the prosperity of these monopolistic
combinations , since thcro is no evi
dence that they nro being operated at
any less pi oil t than heretofore. The
only combine , so far as wo are avvaio ,
that has reduced the price of its prod
uct , Is the whisky trust , and it has not
been reported that this is losing money.
It Is engaged in a desperate ollort to
crush out formidable competition , which
lias thus fi'.r mot it at every point ,
but it is not at all probable that the
margin of profit has yet been entirely
cut olT. All other combinations , in
cluding the great sugar trust , whl ch
recently encountered the adyorso de
cision of Judge Barrett , of the Now
York supreme court , are maintaining
their control of prices and products in
their several lines , and presumably
with satisfactory results to those who
control thorn.
But investors In these combinations
do not misunderstand the moaning of
the universal popular demand for pre
ventive legislation and the very general -
oral response that Is being made
to it. Despite the plausible assurances
of such sophistical pleaders as Professor
ser Dwight and some others who have
undertaken a defense of trusts as legal ,
the holders of the shares and securi
ties of these monopolistic combinations
feel that there Is llttlo safety In proper
ties which exist in dellanco of the popu
lar sentiment and under the ban of ju
dicial opinion eminent for fairness and
honesty. The more reckless of the in
vestors in such properties may boldly
determine to carry the tight to the last
extremity , as the chiefs of the sugar
trust have decided to do , but the dis
creet nnd careful will bo disposed to
unload possessions which they
must defend at great odds and put their
money whore its investment will have
the unquestioned sanction of law. This ,
undoubtedly , is the true explanation of
the decline in the value of trust shares
and securities.
The influence that hns brought about
tl is condition should bo extended nnd
mndo more Dressing. Uvory state leg
islature in which trust legislation has
boon proposed , nnd wo know of none
where the subject has not received con
sideration should keep it prominently
among tiio most important matters to bo
considered. It is reasonably certain
that nothing will be done by the pics-
ont congress , and it is by no means as
sured that the next will respond to the
popular demand. It is in the power of
the states to abate the evil , and the out
look is now favorable for general legis
lation to accomplish that result.
TIIKUH is said to bo n disposition
among some western republican sena
tors to concur in the amended Springer
omnibus bill for the admission of the-
territories , with a few slight changes.
They nrguo that the bill insuios the ad
mission of South Dakota and Montana
by executive proclamation before the
meeting of congress in the fall , pro
vided South Dakota adopts the Sioux
Falls constitution at the election pro
vided for in April. The expedition of
early admission they believe will bo a
stiong inducement ton favorable > oto
on that constitution. Two territories
would thus bo brought in as early as
they could bo by any legisla
tion of the next congress , oven if an
extra session were culled. These sena
tors regiet the inclusion of New Mexico
In tlio bill , but it is simply an enabling
act for that territory , North Dakota and
Washington , and the ne\t congress can
decide for itself whether it will com-
nloto tlio act ot admission for any or all
of tlioio tlitoe territories. Several de
fects in the Springer bill have , however ,
been discovered which will imperil its
chances in the senate , and it will not
pass that body without being at least
amended in several particulars. It is
not unlikely that South Dakota influ
ence may bo exerted in its favor , with
necessary changes.
Tin : railroads , contractors and other
rings and combines are marshalling
their forces at the legislature prepara
tory to making an onslaught on tno
Omaha charter bill as soon as it comes
up for discussion. There are clauses in
the proposed bill which are of vital im
portance to our city at this stage of its
development. Thcro are powers to bo
conferred upon the city which will in
sure its growth and pi asperity and will
protect the best interests of our citizens
and taxpayers. The question is ,
will the committee in charge of
the bill and the legislature
be governed by the principle in passing
upon the measure that they are to con
sider the interests of the city asa\vnolo
and not the interests of anj ono corpor
ation , clique or combine. It would be a
burning disgrace and an irreparable
wrong to Omaha if tlio disreputable
scones of two years ago were toboio-on-
actcd , whereby the charter was muti
lated of its strongest provisions at the
instance of the lobby. Lot the legisla
ture therefore look to it , that whatever
action bo tauen upon the bill , our city
shall not again suiter at the hands of
her detractors.
THK note of alarm has been sounded
in St. Paul and Minneapolis that the
municipal expenses of the twin cities
must bo retrenched. Already the
bonded indebtedness of Minneapolis is
dangerously near the limit fixed by the
charter , while the bonds of cither city
are quoted in the money market below
par. The Pioneer I'test calls attention
to the enormous expenditures that have
been mndo during the past few years in
public improvements , and calls a halt.
Extiaordinary issues of municipal bonds
have been created to carry on these
works and the time has como when this
source of relief has about dried up. The
advice that paper gives thocilicsshould
not fall on deaf ears , oven in thcso
latitudes. "Tho only way to ccono-
mi/.o : Cut down salaries wherever
above the average , reduce suporlluous
forces and got along , if necessary , with
out some of tlio improvements which
are really needed. A city would get
more benefit of a moderate tax rate and
a surplus revenue for a single year than
it could out of the costliest public work
that could bo projected. "
TIIK conduct of the Germans in
Samoa has aroused the pugnacity of
Senator Fryo , of Maine , and he is ready
to go to any extremity in tlio fulfillment
of our assurances to the Samoans.
There is no reason why this country
should make any undue concessions to
Germany that would involve a sacrifice
of our national Interests , and whatever
pledges have been made to the Samoans
should bo kept In good faith. But as
the affair now appears wo are not called
upon to do more than demand of
Germany full reparation for out
rages upon American citizens , and
this should bo done firmly and
decisively. Samoa is a very long dis
tance from the United States , and it is
somewhat questionable whether It
would pay this country to got into serious
rious trouble with Germany in order to
maintain Samoan independence. Doubtless -
loss wo shall bo able to obtain through
the peaceful methods of diplomacy
every demand that wo can reasonably
and justly make.
Tins DHK devotes considerable space
to-day to South Omaha business men ,
who state their grievances in a straight
forward and intelligent manner. From
the evidence presented , and that yet to
be published , it is clearly man 1 test that
vigorous action is demanded if Omaha
is to hold the ground she bus gained in
the live stock industry of the country.
The rovolatiotiB which TIIK DEE makes
have not boon hatched up for the pur
pose of a sensation , but they are
the outcropping of a general
Bontlmcnt among stockmen that some
thing must bo dona to compel the rail
roads to cease their Husi-ant discrimina
against Omaha nnd South Omaha ,
and to Infuse moro life Into the stock
yards management. There can bo no
doubt that Tltn Ur.H's disclosures will
bring about some means to accomplish
this end.
Till : series of unniased reports of the
operation of prohibition in Iowa pub
lished in our columns is respectfully
leferred to the many good people of
Omaha deluded by the prohibition
movement In Nebraska. Norto are so
blind as those who , will not sec. Let
them judge for thomsblves which is to
bo preferred , the , high license law and
license board system of Omaha , whcrob.v
the liquor business is under perfect con
trol , or the prohibition laws of Iowa ,
where lat holes and underground
traffic flourish in full bloom , as
graphically described by our special
correspondent.
Tin : movement for a reduction of rail
road rates is not con lined to Iowa , Ne
braska or Kansas , but is vigorously ac
tive in Illinois , Michigan and Wiscon
sin. It is proposed in these states to
pass bills making the railroad faro
the uniform rate of two cents a mile.
Many roads are said to favor this plan
whorobj excursion rates , mileage books
and all special concessions ot a similar
nature will bo abolished. There are
evidently advantages to bo gained by
both the public in general and the rail
roads by adopting such a measure. But
on the other hand , certain interests
would bo alToctcd by such n move.

KnlCH on Grain Increased.
It Is now given out that on .lanunry 2,1 ! the
Union Pncillc will reduce the dllTcroiilinl
rale to Chicago fiom Nebraska points to 3
cents per bundled , Instead of 5 ecnlsninking
n rodui'llou of cents per hundicd on all
grain producls lint lo tlio Nebraska ship
per Urn action is tcgai tied as an advance in
lalosand n disci imination against tlio pio-
duceis and the merchants of St. Louis. For
Iho reason Hint the haul lo Si. Louis is
shorler limn that to Chicago , a difference In
the iatc of r > cents per hnndicd on
nil gialn was agreed to by the
western roads in favor of the former
ully It is also staled Unit the St. Louis
market ha ranged : U nil periods nuovutho
Chicago prices , and this opened a beltci nnu-
ket to Ihe pioducers nnd snippets m No-
buiskn lhan was that of Chicago. Hut Ihe
inlet cats of tha Union Pacific , It Is Btated ,
are best subserved tiom n tlnancial slnnd
point under Iho new late about to bo innugu-
inted General Manager Klmbill gave Ino
following explanation in response to iho
cause of llio change : "Wo have not taken
Ibis slop as yet , but the rates will bo applied
in a few days. Wo woie piomptcd in doing
this by the agreement exlslingbplw ecu Iho
weslein roiusas to the division of the eai a-
ings. Under the piusent slalo ofalTniiswo
are nol iceciving us large n remuneration
for out shipments lo Mississippi nvcr points
as wo are lo Chicago I can see no reason
vvltj our freight eiinings should bo less lo
points on Ibe Mississippi than thny aio to
Chicago , but such is the c.i c , rcsultmc fiom
nn ugieemcnl on division of fi eight cat nings ,
and for this loason the differential Is loweied
in order to obtain freight for shlmnent to a
point that will enable uslotoahre the best
pioills "
11 is stated also that Iho Norlliwcslorn is
connected with Ilia doil , but llils is being
kepi quiet for fc.ir Iho Kansas City and St.
Louis roads will cut tlio rules to Chicago
from those points The Fremont , nikhorn &
Missouri Valley is also nppb Ing or about to
upplv the same differential as the Union

The Scheme nvnosctl.
The statement that the orgam/ation te-
cently formed al a eoiifoietico in Now York
of presidents of Ihe various railway svsloms ,
Iho same being lermed Ihe Inlerslato Com-
meico Hallway commission , is for the pui-
pose of evading the interstate law instead of
opeiating under ils lestiiclion , was made by
an ofllcial high up in the business. In
commenting upon the pioject , lie said "Tho
sole pin pose of tins organi/atioii is to icincdv
thu application of the long and shot t haul
clause of Ihe inlet-state law. It is well
known that this clause is the biekbone of
the law. It culs a moro conspicuous point ,
than nil Iho lest of the rcstiamnig points
combined It sei ves a bettei pin pose than
comneUlion , for on shot I haul fi eight it also
has the bc-nelit of Iho long-distance talcs , us
well as the low iatcs tcsultlng fiom com
petition. If it weio nol for the laltcr Ihe
rates for the long hauls could be advanced ,
and the shoit haul freight would nol bo bcnc
lilted. Uut competition holds down tluough
fi eight rates and Iho inter stale law com
pels the same rates to bo applied on the wuy
freight. Hence ion can icadily detciminc
Ihe purpose for which Ihe combimilion was
formed. If it is effucllvo just keep i our
eye on the tariff on ihiough fi eights
nnd see what late will bo prevailing onoieai
from now. 11 is not my place to atato to the
public Jusl what this orgam/iUlon is foi , but
as President Adams , of the Union Pacific ,
has given out lh.it it was for tlio put pose of
taking Iho freighl rate making power enl of

that It would be n discrimination against Ilia

the scheme would end like the attempt tnado
b\ New York men looiect n monument to

raise enough money to ndvortiso

going begging to other states , or
