Tin : state senate values the life of ai employe who loses his life in the ser vice of his employer at six thousand dollars. It remains for the house to so its seal on this measure. ni ! natioiml and state legislators are ernckinp their heads in devising laws to nrovont pools and combinations , George M.-Pullman has quietly secured control of all parlor car companies ex cept the Wagner , in this country. Tin : national steel beam trust ol Plttsburg , which has been instrumental in raising tno price of building mate rial , is beginning to show signs ol structural weakness , and a split all the way up its backbone is imminent. A MOVEMENT is o"n foot to pay Chi cago's councilmcn a salary of two thou sand a year , providing they will ac cept no other gifts.

Tin : people of Nebraska will appro- ciatoun oTTer of Major Powell , the direc tor of the United States geological sur vey , to do the topographic work for n geological survey of our stale. But as the people of Nebraska do not fool able to spend twcnty-flvo to fifty thousand dollars , the state will be obliged to decline - cline Major Powell's generous offer. NKUKASKA ranks filth among the corn-growing states , according to the report of the statistician of the agri cultural bureau , just mnuo public. The estimated production for last year is , in round numbers , one hundred and forty- four million bushels , valued at nearly thirty-two million dollars. Iowa is at the bead of the corn producing states , with a credit of over two hundred and seventy-eight million bushels , valued at nearly sixty-seven million dollars. Illi nois was but a very little behind Iowa in the amount of her corn crop , but its value is given us thirteen million dollars moro than that of Iowa. Kansas raised ono hund red nnd lifty-eight million bushels , valued at forty-one million dollars. Of corn , wheat und oats the aggregate yield in Nebraska last year is estimated by the statistician to have boon ono hundred and eighty-five million bush els. The rapid progress Nebraska has made as n corn slate warran ts the ex pectation that within the next ton years she will occupy the loading place in the production of this Btap lo. Tin : annual estimate of the production of gold , eilvoi' , copper and lead In the United States west of the Missouri river lias just boon made under the direction of the Wells , Fargo Express company. .Although unollicial those estimates have P obtained a high reputation toe accuracy , duo to the excellent facilities possessed - by the Wells , Fargo company for the I : collection of information. It appears for IU year just ended that the njtgrognto production of the precious Bictuls IB computed at a value of over ono hundred and fourteen millions , as compared with a value of ono hundred and four millions for 1887. Silver loads in the valun of the product mined , with gold , copper and load following in the order named , Montana has now become the great mining region , whoso mines yielded precious motala during 1883 to a value of thirty-two million dollars.

Notwithstanding the severe criticism of the democratic press on the bill o Senator Sherman to reform the mothoi of electing representatives in congress the senator proposes lo urge his tuoasun upon the attention of the next congress Ho expresses the opinion that It will b one of the greatest questions before tha congress , and ho anticipates n great do b.ito on it In both branches. The Ohii senator bollovoa 'hat ' the opportunlt ; which the republican party wil have to innui'o the integrity c elections for congressmen , am the right of voters to cast ntiil htivi counted their ballots for representative In every district , in the union , norll and south , should not bo allowed to t , ' < unimproved. Ho insists that there is i grcnt and binding obligation upon th party to do this. Regarding the objection to the pro poaod law thnt it would contrail/ power and plnce dangerous authority u the hands of the president Senate Shormnn says there is no moro central ization in it than w.is provided by tin f ranters of the constitution , Congros1 is the solo nnd Until jutlgo or the olon tion of its members , and in the view o the senator it is bolter for congress t exorcise its power strictly in statutory regulation of elections , using the presl tlonl nnd the oxomitlvo departments a instruments of its will than to suitor it integrity lo bo smirched by the ndmia sion of men who have frauilulentlly ob tained their cortificatoa. Ills bettor U strike at thu root of the evil than to dt tardy and limited justice by the slov and cumberhOtno method of unscatin < possessors of prima facie rights. The constitution itself is the best reply It the cry of centralization. Tlie princi pie of divorcing national from sl'ito am local elections , und placing the former entirely under federal coir trol , can bo defended by very stronj nnd convincing reasons , such as will not fail to command themselves to men who sincerely desire the integrity ol oleiHlons and the preservation of the rights of voters. Nothing is clutiroi than that the fr.iuierj of the constitu tion contemplated this when thov gave authority to congress to regulate tin time , place and method of choosln ; representatives in congress. TUB KAlLltOADS WANT TT. It transpires that the most poworfu force behind the demand for the ad mission of Now Mexico to statehood is the railroad inlluenco. Washington advices say that the most dangerous lobby that lias yet appeared in Wash ington , representing the combination of the Pacillc railroads , is back of the scheme. These corporations want the territory made a state because they ex pect to strengthen their hold on the senate by naming the two senators. It is not doubled they could bo able to do this. The most shameless trading is tc be done in order to carry out the bchomo. It is proposed to divide the olHeoB evenly between the two parties , an arrangement which the delegate from the territory admits has been en tered into. The plan is to have ono re publican and ono democratic senator , the governor republican and the mem ber of the bouse of representatives democratic , and all of them to bo Pa cific railroad men. This deal explains the recent developments in New Mexico ice , whereby both parties have united in their demand for statehood. It is by no means incredible that such n scheme has boon arranged. It is entirely con sistent with the character of the corporations , and nobody can doubt that they would seol ? by every moans at their command to dominate the now state. Their reasons for desiring this would bo quite as strong in New Mexico as in Colorado , where they now have their trusted friends in the United States senate and are strongly in trenched in the legislative and state government. The exposure of this scheme ought to Insure the defeat of the opposition to admit Now Mexico to statehood. [ Even wore that territory fully equipped to come in as a state , which Is not the fact , it would be the duty of congress , having knowledge of any such arrangement as is re ported to exist , or reasonable ground to suspect a scheme of the kind , to reject the application for statehood. No people ple should be clothed with the high privilege and grave responsibility of organizing a state government whoso right to do this freely and untrammolcd has boon bartered away and especially when such barter Is in thu interest of great railroad corporations. TIIU COST OF HEEe AND LOCAL INSPUGCION. The beef packers of the east have boon accused of forming combinations for the purposes of depressing the price of cattle on the hoof , and of screwing up the prices to the consumer by troop ing out the local butcher. Though ; here may bo substantial grounds for ; hose charges , It may bo questioned whether the high price of hoof to the oon&umur can be laid entirely at the floor of the beef packers. An impartial .uquiry was recently instituted at Now York for the purpose of learning the n-ico of dressed beef , wholesale and retail in that oily. It was found that while the wholesale : ) rlco of beef ranged from four to seven cents a pound , the consumer was com pelled to pay the retail butchers as much as twenty cents n pound. The vTorago wholesale price of a car cass of beef weighing seven hundred and fifty pounds in Now York City Is Ifty-two dollars. When cut into loins , rounds , ribs , flanks , kld- icys and nocks the varoass re- uilod fetches ninety-two dolhuv , a H'oflt of forty dollars , from which , if course , must be deducted the jxponsos of the retailors' business. This would Indicate that the retail- jrs' interests wore pretty well pro- .eotod , though the prloo of moat bo ilgh to the consumer. But even with .hose profits the local butchers claim , hat they ounnot compote with the vostonu > aeklng firm * in the slaughter- ng of beef. They are clamoring for irotectlon against the western boot mokers. If their scheme of local In- peotlon were enforced , the result rould be to Increase the cost of meat In order thnt eastern butchers might do their own slaughtering. Such i course would bo in violation of nil principles of economics , and the people would not long lolornta it. Tlio foci is that natural advantages combined with the concentration of capital , and cosy communication of the rnilro.ids have made Chicago , Omaha nnd Kansas City the great slaughter houses to supply nil parts of the country with beef , Against this force local butcher1 * cannot com- 001-3. It is folly therefore to endeavor to throw obstacles hi the way of tlie beef packing business by the passage oi local inspection laws. Such a course would not only bo repudiated by the consumer , but it is clearly unconstitu tional interfering with the freedom ol trndo between the states. 771M.NMTO WILL ACT. There is very treat ; probability that the United Si iti's senate will p.iss tin anti-trust bill during the present ses sion. When the bill of Senator Slier- mnn was up last Friday that gentleman notilled the senate that when the meas ure was again reached he would insist on consideration , and that it should not bo displtu'pd for any other matter whether the Lord's prayer or the ton commandments except by a vote of the senate. This evidence of the strong interest of the senator in his bill carries the assurance that he intends tn got the souse of the sonnto on it as soon as practicable , and his champion ship of the measure warrants confidence in its success. It is hardly to be ox- poctotl that it can command the full re publican vote. There are .senators on that side whoso sympathies are toe strongly with combined capital to allow them to support a measure to prevent and uunish such combination , whatever its purpose. Hut as the bill proposes something entirely outside of politics , nndno partisan advantage is to be gained from its success or defeat , it will undoubtedly receive a largo democratic support. The bill as originally introduced by Mr. Sherman contained some defects and did not cover the ground so thoroughly as was desirable. It has been amended so as lo remove the ob jections to it in its first form , and it is now sufficiently comprehensive to moot every requirement. One important amendment provides that any portion who , ninety days after the enactment of thu law , shall act as a manager , olll- cor , trustee or agent of any such combi nation shall bo liable to the penalties provided in the bill. Wo have not ob served that any ono in the senate had questioned , as was done in the house , the authority of congress to legislate on this subject. If the bill passes the senate , of which there is now most favorable promise , there ought to bo no doubt of it passing the house , while as to the president ho is on rec ord in favor of such legislation. With comprehensive national and stale legis lation against trusts the end of these unlawful combinations must speedily como. A TAIII.E of the number of strikes and employes involved for the past eight years has boon prepared by the Now York Commercial nulletin , based on the returns made by Commissioner Wright , of the national labor bureau , supple mented by the ligures collected by l md- strecCs for 1837 and 1838. Out of a rec ord of moro than Hvo thousand four hun dred strikes since 1881 , more than ono million eight hundred and seventy thousand employes were Involved. There has been an increase in the num ber of strikes , as well as the persons engaged - gaged in them. In 1881 there were four hundred und seventy- one strikes , affecting one hundred and thirty thousand men. In 1888 there were six hundred and Hfty-nino strikes , involving two hundred and seven thous and employes. The great strike year was 1880 , when there were ono thousand , four hundred nnd eleven strikes , affecting half a million of men. There can be no question that these strikes have been directly or in directly oilectivo. Although it were bettor to encourage some loss expensive means of adjusting the grievances of employes against against employers , the strike is the only otloctivo bulwark of the wage earner against arbitrary reductions of wages and unfair treatment. Were it not for organized resistance on the part of workingtnon combinations of capital would drive them to the wall and force them to accept any scale of wages capi tal was disposed to establish. THE laws passed by the last legisla ture prohibiting non-resident aliens from acquiring or holding real estate in Nebraska should bo repealed or mod ified. Whatever may have boon the purport of the act at the time , the dan ger from foreign landlordism Is now re duced to a minimum , nnd the la'v has worked to the detriment of the citlos and towns of our state. What Nebraska needs is the influx of capital. But the alien act has kept out millions of dollars lars which otherwise would have -come iu to develop our resources. Omaha , Lincoln , South Omaha and other cities of Nebraska can testify to the injury ilono them , Not only did Scotch nnd English capitalists withdraw their in vestments from the cattle and packing Industries of the state , but for a time the largo eastern insurance nnd invest ment companies refused to make loans upon real estate as a construction af the alien act might npply against them as well. Moreover it is u question , If the law be broutrht to u test , whether Ihe courts would not rule the alien-act unconstitutional. The law works to the Injury of the stale by frightening for- algn Investors from putting their money Into Nebraska. The petition which tvill bo sent from Omaha pndorsed hy tier business men , should therefore re- 3olvo not only the most careful atten tion of the Douglas county delegation , jut the nppror.il of all legislators who ire intent upon making our stale an at- .rnctlvo field for the in vestment of cup- tnl. THE report of City Atlornoy Webster olntlve to the city's litigation during .888 is not of such u nature as to oncour- igo suits for damages of individuals ijruliidt the city , The law's delay Is 11- ustratod iu its full force , Inasmuch as out of atolal of two hundred and twenty six suits pondjnWnnd begun during th < year only sixty-four have been dispose ! of. Moreover- the amount of judge incuts recovered against the city nuin bored but threennd aggregated enl ; ono thousand throe hundred ant twenty-one dollars. To these figure must bo added , however , the judge monts confessed by the city upon term ncgolititod by Ih6 mayor and council , a well ns the aulti "compromised botwcoi the litigants. n < > ur.AXniu Is n mystery.

AT Ax expanse of some thliiooi thousand dollars , and after two years' ' experiment , the silk commissioners ol ICatiMis wore nblo to pro.lnce about two thousand dollars worth of raw silk. II is quite evident that the silk industry , like the boot-sugar experiments , can neither bo coaxed nor forced into suc cess in that state. Kansas had consequently quently bolter confine her energies lc raising corn and hogs. KOIl Til 13 OAIUNHT.

The court held that he was not personally liable for the services of the band , and it looks just a little as though it was a case of misplaced ron- lldcnce.
