tr STEAM8UIP LINKS.
It is qullo possible that those who
favor n subsidy policy as n means of re
storing our merchant marine will bo
stimulated to renewed effort by the ex
pression of the president that wo should
encourage the establishment of Amer
ican steamship lines. These , as well ns
such ns are predisposed to draw wrong
conclusions from the president's utter
ances , may , however , very easily bo
misled regarding the attitude of the
president in this matter. It Is already
assumed Hint President Harrison
is In favor of n subsidy policy , but
this is by no moans n fair Infer
ence from what ho said in his inau
gural address. Nor is it unreasonable
to suppose that with his accurate
knowledge of the general sentiment ol
the country , and particularly of the
people of the west regardless of party ,
respecting subsidies , ho would malco
the mistake at the very outset of his
administration of giving his approval
to n policy coi'laln to encounter almosl
universal opposition from the people.
It Is presumed that there will bo few
to differ with the view of the president
that American steamship lines should
be encouraged. Thcro is a very
\\iilo difference of opinion
ns to methods. Both prac
tical and patriotic considerations make
it dcblrablo thut the foreign commerce
of the United States shall in time bo
carried on principally by American ves
sels. It must necessarily bo at some
thing of a disadvantage until this is ac
complished. It is moat natural that for
eign vessels should discriminate in
favor of the products of the countries to
which they belong. It is inevitable
ttiat the buyers of other lands will bo
most friendly to the sellers of the coun
tries which can furnish direct and rapid
transportation for what they purchase.
The Hag of a nation floating' ' at the
mastheads ot its merchant vessels
advertises its commerce and invites
customers. It is largely in this way
that England , Germany and Franco
liavo captured the trade 'of this hemis
phere that should como most largely to
the United States. When a few years
ago the commission authorized by con
gress visited South America in the in
terest of our commercial rotations they
found the Doonlo not unwilling to pur
chase American goods , but they were
confronted bj' the question of transpor
tation. They found that whenever this
country should bo able to transport its
commodities expeditiously in its
own vessels thcro would bo little
difficulty in securing the trade. There
was no prejudice against American
commodities , but thcro was a prefer
ence for the countries that possess an
adequate transportation service of their
own. In order to command our share
of this foreign commerce wo must have
the means of carrying it , so that our
manufacturers and merchants shall not
at the mercy of foreign ship owners in
discriminating in fnvorof the commerce
of their own countries. Another con
sideration in favor of an Ameri
can merchant marine is the fact
that our people annually pay to
these foreign vessel owners be
tween two and three hundred
million dollars for freights ana fares.
This large sum , very nearly equal to the
amount rcquirca to support the national
government , would contribute materi
ally to the national prosperity.
But the achievement of those advant
ages must come in some other way than
from quartering a special interest on
the public treasury. The country will
not tolerate a policy liable to an un
limited extension , and which would in
evitably load to legislative jobbery and
profligacy. No party can retain the
support and confidence- the pcoplo
which becomes responsible for such a
policy , and wo do not think there need
bo any apprehension that a republican
president will recommend or a republi
can congress adopt it.
JiV A. NUTSHELL.
Mr. A. J. Hanscom , in nn interview
quoted by the JtcpubUruu , hits the nail
brjuaroly on the head concerning the
proposed charter amendment which
takes the supervision of * ho construc
tion of the city hall out of the hands of
Puray , Balcomboand their right-bower ,
.Tim Croighton :
The building of the city hall should bo
placed In the bands of men who uro in sym
pathy with the work , not In the hands of mon
who nro prejudiced agamic tbo location , nnd
who may und probably will delay the work
on account of tbolr luck of interest in it. it
Is not wise to lot men who arc not friendly to
Iho plan get control of It. Then , again , thcro
is not n man on the board of public works
who knows anything worth mentioning
nbout a building of that kind , anyway.
Somebody o\gM \ to have charge of that
bulhiuiK who Is thoroughly familiar witn
building. If the board were composed of lha
right kind of man , then It might bo all right
lo lot thorn mnnago it , but they are utlcrly
Incompetent to superintend the erection of
such a building.
TIIK 11 KEF MONOPOLY.
A convention of ropresontativef , of
the states most largely interested in
the cattle industry will moot in St.
Louis to-morrow to consider what maybe
bo d.ono to protect cattle raisers against
the operations of the alleged dioused-
bcof combine. This convention is the
outcome of an agitation which has been
gaining in force and earnestness for
a year , and which was brought
prominently to the attention of the
country by the appointment of u
committee of the United States
senate last year to investigate the
uhargo that there was a syndicate erring
ring which virtually controlled the
beef market. It will bo remembered
that Senator Plumb of Kansas , and
Senator Vest of Missouri , made speeches
In the senate in which they assorted
that such a combinn existed , and that it
, vas ono of the mo.it foriuidabln and in-
| urlous in the country. It was upon
this authority tlmt thu senate commtt-
Lee was created and empowered to in
vestigate the whole subject. So far as
ivo uro aware this cotnmltten has but
partially carried out its instructions.
The existence of a combine has boon
stoutly denied by those olmrgod with
being identified with such an
irgunizntion , but the cattle raisum
: > erbiat in their charge , nud it must bo
confessed , offer very strong evidence it )
lupport of it. They do not lack thi )
itatlstics to show that there has boon
some powerful influence manipulating
the market for at least two years
suggesting n very cloSe nnd shrowdlj
managed organization. At any rate
the matter Is ono of great Importance
notulonolo the raisers of cattle , butte
to the consumers of beef , nnd if it can
bo demonstrated that thcro is n com
bine whose members have been en
riching themselves by robbing both ,
any just and practicable way that can be
dovibcd for destroying the monopoly will
have a universal popular sup-
port. The St. Louis convention will
bring the subject to national attention ,
and it may bo expected to furnish n
great deal of information on the subject
it will consider. Besides this , It will
doubtless recommend national and state
legislation to meet the difficulty com
plained of. The proceedings of this
convention will bo regarded with very
great nnd very general interest.
"WllOEVHlt succeeds Pension Com-
missloncr Black and there Is reported
to bo n host of appUcants for the posi
tion should have something more than
a good record as a soldier to recommend
him. Ho should possess excellent busl-
iinss capacity , for the pension office is
most essentially a place of business , and
the demands upon it still inc.ease from
year to year. The testimony regarding
General Black Is , that so far as the
administration of the olllco is concerned
it has been most commendable' . Ho
introduced a thorough method in
the transaction of the business ,
both simplifying nnd expediting
it , and the office has prob
ably never boon in better shape than at
present. This condition it is most do-
Birablo should be con tinned , for the people
ple who are in largo degree dependent
upon the disbursements of the pension
olllco require to bo promptly and un
failingly cared for. The position ot
pension commissioner is a very import
ant and a very difficult ono , and great
care should bo taken to select a thor
oughly qualified man to fill it.
THIS rush of land hunters to Dakota
and Oklahoma is unprecedented. The
proposed reduction of Indian re
servations and opening thn country to
settlement is attracting thousands of
farmers and speculators from tjio east ,
oven before the requisite steps have
boon taken by the government to place
the land on the market. These move
ments bring into prominence the facl
that the agricultural section of the pub
lic domain is practically exhausted.
The millions of acres of land uselosslj
tied up for the benefit of the Indians
cannot long withstand the encroach
ments ot the whites. The Indians musl
sooner or later accept the severally plan

whelmed by the grasping energy ot the
superior race.
THE Canadian parliament is consid
ering a bill to make larceny and em
bezzlement extraditable offenses , and
there is said to bo a very good chance
of the measure becoming a law. In
that event the United States will doubt
less bo asked to conclude an extradi
tion treaty .which shall include , those
offenses , and such a request from the
Canadian government would bo very
likely to receive favorable attention
from our government , while the Eng
lish government would hardly deny its
American colony the privilege of de
manding persons guilty of these crimes
who escaped to the United States. Re
ciprocity of this kind could not fail to
operate to the advantage of both
parties.

shcnd , of Illinois , removes from the pub

country can bo ground hero as well ns there.
I know the whole business community
would like to see Mr. Itosewntcr take hold
of this matter , bccuuso they have become
accustomed to seeing his undertakings
brought to a successful Issue. I would
ruther see connection made with the Mani
toba system than anything else , nud if it is
not accomplished by Omaha , Minneapolis ,
St. Paul nnd Sioux City will in-
ovitnbly do so. and thus command
a largo share of the patronage of north
ern and western central Nebraska. Wo will
start a large shoo manufactory hero the
moment these railroad facilities lire attained ,
and thcro will bo others to come , many of
them unsolicited and of their own free will ,
because they will bo on the lookout for their
own best interests.
Mr. Kilpatrick , of the Kilpatrick-ICooh
Dry Goods Company. I hardly know what
to advise. But I want to mention one thing
while it is in my mind. I dined with the
president of the cattle trust last evening ,
and he told mo that the present legislature
had passed a bill at the present session prohib
iting non-residents from owning land In this
state unless they become residents within ten
years , 1 could hardly believe it , but the
gentleman's information on the matter
boomed full ana reliable. ' 'What if you , "
said he , ' 'were shut out from owning prop
erty In Ohio , what would be the result }
Why , I tell you such a law is ruinous , sui
cidal to the state's prospects for continued
growth , advancement and prosperity. Now
to best cnhanco Omaha's chanco3 for becom
ing the metropolis of the great west , every
thing that can possibly bo done should bo
done to encourage the railroads. If wo treat
the railroads harshly , then look out for re
taliatory measures the denial of our longed-
for union depot , for instance. I was one of a
committee who waited upon Charles Francis
Adams when ho was hero nnd ho said tome
mo that it was impossible to get any of tlio
eastern capitalists to listen to the Idea of
spending any more money in this western
country , because they are afraid of the
granger element , that they might put restric
tions on them , such as have been inllictod in
Iowa. I am greatly in favor of a now union
depot nnd a right-of-way in nnd out of tlio
city. A public bridge in essential , and the
business men , railroads und city should com
bine and build ono , with the distinct under
standing that no road was to bo shut out ,
that all were to have un equal showing at
moderate taxation. "
W. L. Selby Why , let the city council and
the newspapers unit quarreling and lighting
among themselves , und , with the board of
trade , Union club and real estate men , all
pull together for everything that will help
the city and encourage people to locate here.
Strangers and non-resident ) are the ones wu
want to think well of our city , nnd ns long us
I hey aeo our newspapers entering into school
boy quarreling and also publishing to the
world every little misfortuna that happens
to the city , they come with nn unfavorable
impression if they como at all. The board of
trade , Union club and real estate dealers
have joined forces to help Omaha. Now , lot
the u.lltors do the same , and nil help to build
n city instead of trying to break each other
down , Lot the council become friendly with
each other nnd do all they ran to encourage
rapid transit to the suburbs , and strangers
will como when they see they can own a nice
homo at u reasonable price. Theru is a good
demand for this kind of real estate. Our
treat car companies should bo encouraged
by friendly legislation , nnd 1 am only aorry
it is not legnl for our city to vote bonds to aid
in the extension of such car lines and to build
a free railroad bridge across the river. It
would surely be of more bonollt to the city
than to vote so much monuy grading sticcts
away out In the corn llelds ,
Mr. Andreeson , of Leo , Clarke , Andruo-
son I am afraid I haven't given this matter
BUfllcient consideration to venture oven a
suggestion , I have read , however , with ex
ceeding Interest what Tun Hui : is doing , and
think its cnurao and policy about the right
thing 1 will say , however , that I am of the
opinion that the agitation of the railroad
question is Just now more Important than
anything olso.Ve should have more roads ,
bolter depot facilities , nud tlio city would go
forward at a Jump. It is un expensive thing
for the wholesale people of Omaha to send
their inon west , on account of the mcugor
railroad facilities. Yes , [ think Tin : HIK :

HOLD THU FOKT.
The ftcAl Kstnto Solieino Which Is Be-
lilmt tlio Proposed Uoinnvnt ,
About two weeks ngo General Hrooko
went to Washington on business connected
with the department ot the Pintle , and Inci
dentally to attend the Inaugural of Gonornl
Harrison. Uo was hnrdlv In Washington n
week before M. II. T. Clarke , who has been
dancing attendance upon him for the last six
months , also put In nn appearance nt the sent
of the war department. It will bu remem
bered that Mr. Clarke has cornered n tract
two miles below Hellovuo and twelve miles
from the Omaha court house , which ho hai
boon very anxious to convert into n slto
for the new Fort Omnhn. The effort to re
locate Ihe fort has been no more popular in
military circles than It has among our mer
cantile nnd social classes , but In compliance
with the provisions of the removal bill Gen
eral IJrooko finally did make Mr. Clarke's
heart glad by recommending the acceptance
of his proposal. Hut the great father , or
rather the secretary of war , disagreed with
the conclusions of General Hrooko and abso
lutely declined to accept Mr. Clarke's ' liberal
offer.
Late ndvlces from Washington announce
that Mr. Clarke is on the fcvouml
using his most persuasive eloquence
to get the new secretary of war
to reverse the decision of the old secretary
of war. And in this patriotic and unselfish
effort Mr. Clarku is likely to succeed unless
the business men nnd property owners of
Omaha take prompt action nnd enter a
lively protest against what General Crook ,
only two weeks aqo , pronounced "cussed
nonsense , " namely , the removal of Fort
Omaha from its present accessible location.

The report that General Experience
Estabrook , of this city would sup
port or favor the allowance of 550,000 by the

is all a canard. Newspaper readers are fa

8 per cent school laud funds to his own use

cured from the United Slates treas

charge and was consequently impeached and
compelled to turn over to the state several
hundred acres of hind which ho owned. A
few years thereafter the ox-governor caused
a bill to bo drafted. U'ho purpose of the
measure was to reimburse Hutlcr for the
lands that the stale had taken

could not. Hutlcr then asked him not to

Pawnee City , asking that ho and Judge lias-

callous did not nsk him lo support or advo
cate the bill , but the ccncral is under the
impression that the the ex-governor docs not '
want Him or Hascall to make any opposition ;
on its passage. |
"Hntlor knows , or should know that I
would not advocate the bill , " said General
Estabrook , "for 1 told him four ycaia ago
that 1 would not. I surmise that he wauls to

WASHINGTON , March ft. [ Special Corre
spondence of Tun Hnn. ] It was about U.W )
o'clock when the committee appointed to
confer with the president ot the United
States announced to the senate that ho had
no further communication to make to con
gress. The Fiftlotli congress had completed
Its work over n half an hour before the re
quired time. The gnlU'des of the halls were
Hacked to overflowing with people who
filled the room with n murmuring confusion
of audible conversation. All was in readi
ness for the preliminary ceremonies of tha
inauguration of the next president of the
country. The so.tts allotted to the partici
pants nnd guests were arranged and waiting
for their occupants. The llrst person who
received special attention was the vcnernblo
Hannibal Hamlin who had como In nnd taken
his scat. Ills appearance was made too early ,
BO ho loft by the lobby door , returning when
the others had entered. Time passed .slowly
but the hands of the clock were Hearing 12.
Then n ripple of laughter ran around the
galleries as the old doorkeeper , Captain
Hnssct , increased the time which must elapsa *
before noon. This was done manifestly
without the notice of the senators whllo
President Pro-tumporo Ingnlls deliberately
held n Inrgo palm leaf fan before his face.
Soon thu diplomatic corps appeared re
splendent in its gold Inco and variegated
decorations. For a whllo they wore the
center of attraction und busied themselves
In watching the occupants of iho galleries.
The Gorman minister , in particular , equipped
with one eyeglass mul u pair of opera glasses ,
put himself to considerable trouble in lookIng -
Ing for pretty faces. The entrance of Mr.
Hlaino called forth applause , which quickly
subsided. Thnt given lo General Sherman ,
however , displayed much more enthusiasm ,
but had no other effect than that he slowly
nroso und took ofT an old gray munier that
seemed to have accompanied him on his
march to the sea. Again the clock was
turned back nnd again tlio palm-leaf fan hid
the operation from the sight of the presiding
officer. Members of the bouso dropped in
singly or in groups and occasioned consider
able confusion before they became sottlod.
The jusllces of Iho suprouio court entered ,
followed by the marshal and cleik , tlio latter
carrying the bible , bound in black morocco ,
upon which the oath was to be talccn. Ex-
Vice President Hatnlin returned , made a
friendly gesture to the Justices nnd shook
hands with Justice Lnmar , who had risen to
receive him. Just ns the president was an
nounced word was again sent to have the
clock turned back once more.Vhilo this
was being done Mr. Ingalls stared blankly
at iho gallery.
The president-elect nnd vice president
elect now came down the center aisle , ono
after the other , each escorted by n member
of the committee of arrangements. Every
scat upon the floor was occupied except the
ono reserved for Hon. George Hancroft.
This notable personage who had attended all
the inaugurations from time immemorial ,
was conspicuous in bis absence. Whim the
ceremonies began the marshal of the supreme
court took possession of the chulr reserved
for him. In the gallery only the seals nllot-
ted to Mrs. Cleveland nnd the ladies of the
cabinet , wore vacant. The. oath was admin
istered to Mr. Morton standing at the loft of
the vice president's chair. Mr. Ingnlls , after
expressing his thanks to the semite for the
Honor conferred upon him , adjourned that
body withoult delay , ami handed the gavel to
his uuccossor. During the pniycr Air. Mor
ton stood quietly beside tbo dusk. Mr. Harrison
risen remained , upright with his hands
folded behind his back , whila Pics- !
Jent Cleveland nervously sliiflcd his
weight from ono foot to the other , nnd
changed the position of his hands. Tim vice-
president stepped behind tlio desk and de
livered his address. Either ho was deeply
moved bj tlio solemnity of the occasion or
tie was alTectcd by what ia commonly termed
jtnge-fright , for ho trembled and faltered
ind in one place seemed to have recalled the
next word only with some difficulty.
It was not until the last moment that It
, vas decided thnt the installation of thcpresi-
lentshould take place upon the stand out-
ildo. Mr. Cleveland was said to have been
ndlfforcnt in regard to the plucc , while Har-
ison Haiti that ho could brave the weather If
, ho people could. The procession to the plat-
'orm began to move. Just outside the main
mtrnnco of the senate it stopped to allow
.ho rest lo form. All wont in order until tlio
ienntors started. Then amid general con-
'usion , the diplomats and representatives
jegan to rush forward , each with the object
if being first. At the door there .fas acorn-
ilcto ulocliudc. As the line passed
nto the rolundu , a crowd of spectnlors from
he galleries , led evidently by some ono who
vas well acquainted with the building , hud
Kissed Ihrough the aouato document room ,
lown the stairs which led to thu corridor , and
low broke upon the in occasion , creating now
onfusion. At the door between tbo rotunda

ho state of tlio wonthor , tried to turn back ,
