OVIt ILLVSTHATED ANXUAL
Otfr superb annual illustrated review
iBsucd todny embodies an exhaustive
exhibit of the commercial and indus
trial growth of Omaha , logothor with
compiled statistics of the building rec
ord and public improvements executed
during the year just closed The fncts
and figures presented by U9 are a
striking commentary on the substan
tial and satisfactory progrosV Omaha
has made within the past twelve
months It would bo superfluous to re
capitulate what is tersely stated In the
introductory of the review Wc do ,
however , take pleasure in calling atten
tion to the carefully compiled dotalls of
our commercial and financial ex
hibit , and more especially to
the particulars concerning the
growth of our manufacturing industries
and our packing houses and stockyards ,
which now give employment lo thou
sands of sturdy and thrifty wage
uorkors
It goes without saying that the illus
trated review of Trti : Buk , as usunl ,
Is uniauo and is incomparably superior
in point of costly nrtistle work ,
typography and compilation of facts to
any publication of that class cither In
this or any ether section of the country
These periodical illustrated rovlcws
of Tins Bin : have done inoro to advor-
tlsu Omaha and Nebraska abroad than
any ether medium , or for that matter ,
all other mediums put together
TI1V 1 EARS IMMWltATlOX
It is estimated that the immigration
to this country during lfaSO was about
ono hundred thousand less than for the
previous year , when it was a little inoro
than half a million Since 1882 , when
the tide reached its highest point , thcro
has been a pretty steady decline .In
seventy .vcai'3 , during which accurate
fctatistics have been compiled , the
United States has received from Xor-
oIetii countries an aggregate of about
fifteen million people , about six million
of whom came from Great Britain
more than halt of this number from
Ireland and four and a half million
from Gurmany These nations con
tinuo to supply the largest proportion of
immigrants , Germany leading any
ether ono country
Thcro is certainly nothing very
startling in thc o figures to warrant tno
demand for more restrictive immigra
tion laws , particularly in view of the
fact that the number of immigrants
last year was less by nearly one-half
than the number that catno into the
country Bcven years ago , and that the
tide is shown to be still diminishing
The fact is that the immigration prob
lem , about which some persons are so
troubled , is in a fair way to solve itself
The United States can no longer bo re
garded as a now country , and
it duos not present to Europeans
in search of a now homo
the alluring attractions it formerly did
Now regions with a desirable soil and
climate have been thrown open to set
tlement , and whllo wo once had tlio
Held to ourselves wo now have many
competitors The Argentine llopublic
and ether countries ot South America
have become caeor mid generous bid
ders for European immigrants , and they
offer advantages and opportunities to
the intelligent and industrious peas
antry of Europe quite equal , if not su
perior , to any \yo have Under the now
political conditions in Brazil , if they ,
shall bo maintained , that country is
likely to draw heavily upon Europe for
population to aid in the development of
its vast resources , and with a republi
can system of government there will bo
no moro attractive country in the
world It is easily capable of support
ing ton times ' its present population ,
and it is rich in everything that can
invite industry and energy Chili
is another Hold for immigration that is
oponlng up great opportunities which
are being brought to tlio attention of
the homo seekers of Europe
It is therefore obvious that If there
ate any such dangers from immigration
as some persons profess to believe its
present tendencies must lnrgoly remove
move thorn , and certainly few Intelli
gent and unprejudiced people can bo in
duced to bollovo that an annual nccossion
of half a million foreigners , of tlio class
not excluded by oxistlng laws , to a pop
ulation of seventy million , can bo a
menace to our social , political or
material welfare
STAW LCQISLATIOX
Within a week the legislatures ot
most ot the statcB will ho in sessionand
the business of making laws for the
sovereign commonwealths will bo in
full operation State legislation las
for the most part greater interest for
the people than national law making
It touches moro nearly tholr personal
and buslnossaffairs Questions of taxa
tion , of eorporato regulation , of public
improvements , of muuicip.il reforms ,
nud many others whicti have direct re
lation -to the interests and wolfuro of
the people of a stnto , ordinarily gtvo
them creator concern than most of the
matters which it is the province of the
congress to leglslato upon The as
sembling of the state legislatures the
minor congrobsos" of the people oaeh
representing sovereign rights guaran
teed by the federal constitution , is
therefore a matterof vary great Import
unco In our political system
One ot the most Important acts ot
Mime of those legislatures will bo the
election of United States senators The
terms of twonty-llvo senators expire in
181)1. A portion of the stutos have
chosen their successors , but the larger
number of the places will have to bo
llllod by the legislatures soon to moot
Among the most promlnont of those to
whom succebsors are to bo chosen are
Evarts of N vr York , Cameron of Penn •
sylvauln , Payne of Ohio , Allison of
Iowa , fiigulls of Kansas , Toiler of Colorado
rado , Farwoll of Illinois , Voovhoos of
ludiuna , Piatt of Connecticut , Merrill
of Vermont , Spoonor of Wisconsin ,
Stanford of California and Jones ot Ne
vada In none ot the states to elect
sonutors will there bo any change In
the political character of the mop
chosen , and the indications are that all
Wammmmmmmmm
these senators who are seeking re
election will bo their own successors ,
with the oxcoptlon of Mr Pnyno of
Ohio , who is not n candidate
As to questions of legislation , there
nro several ot vital importance which
will engage the nttontlon ot most of the
legislatures . Ono of these is ballot re
form The success ot the now ballot law
of Massachusetts , freely conceded by
all particsin that slate , has glvon a
much wider inlorost to the question
than has ever before been shown
Lending men of both parties nro odvo-
eating the reform , not in all cases ex
actly on the llncB ot the Massachusetts
law , or what Is known as the Australian
system , but such a chnngo from present
methods 119 will sccuro , ns fnr as it is
posslblo to do so , a free and honest bal
lot Thcro is no question anywhere as
to the desirability and nocosslty of ro-
forni in our election methods generally ,
the dllToronco of opinion Ijolng
simply us lo the wisest and most
'
practicable way to effect the
reform without any impairment
or rctrlctlon ot the suffrage
right So widespread has the senti
ment in favor ot reform hccor.io that it
may 3afoly bo expected lo occupy the
attention of nearly all the legis
latures of the present year , and
undoubtedly in many ot thorn now election -
tion laws will bo enacted
Anolhor matter that will command
the attention of many ot the legisla
tures is that of providing against trusts
and simllarcombiuations The disposi
tion already shown in congress to take
hold ot this question and respond to the
popular demand for antitrust legisla
tion will bo an incentive to the stnto
legislatures to do likewise , and a9 this
is a matter which can not easily bo made
a party issue , thcro is every probability
that the national statutes and those of
a number of the states will , before the
year closes , be increased by the addition
of laws for the suppression and preven
tion of trusts and nil combinations for
arbitrarily controlling the products of
the country In some of the states the
over-present liquor question will ro-
colve moro or less attention , and wher
ever this is promised the indications
_ are favorable to the success of the high
license principle
the commitrncs in iwonss
The wisdom ot Speaker Rood in an
nouncing the house committees before
the holiday recess is approved by the
results A largo amount of work , which
would otherwise have been necessarily
postponed until tlio middle of January ,
hai already boon accomplished The
committees have organized , most of
thorn have solcctod clerks and all are
in fighting trim for prompt and contin
ued effort
The action of Chairman McKinley of
the ways and moans committee in
holding sessions of the com
mittee has already enabled
it to dispose of a largo portion of
the work which it has set out to accom
plish Mr McKinley very properly rec
ognizes that it is essential that a revis
ion of the tariff be made at the present
stsslon of congress , and tha the prom
ises of the republican platform must bo
fulfilled in order to satisfy the growing
demands for tariff reform It was
wise in him , therotorc , while decliuing
to follow the osAtnplo of the last ways
and means commltteo , which refused
hearings to all parties , to insist that in
terests and industries which had already
been fully hoard before the scnato com
mitlco on finance last spring , should not
duplicate their testimony and take up
the valuable tlmo of the committee of
which ho is the head By the time
congress reconvenes Mr McKinley ex
pects to have paved the vfay for prompt
consideration of a tariff bill and to have
collected most of the testimony nec
essary for intelligent action on the part
of the committee
The people generally will join with
Speaker Reed in the hope that such a
revision of the rules of congress will bo
accomplished as to prevent the tedious
and useless filibustering which has for
several years past unduly protracted the
sessions of the house , nnd has in a number
bor of instances provontcd the passage
of legislation which the public hnd a
right to oxpeot The small majority
which the republican party has in the
house of representatives makes it
essential that bomo means shall
bo adopted by which purely dila
tory motions can bo ruled out of order
In England , as in France , the power to
decide whether a motion is made purely
for purposes of delay rests with the
spoukor Whether such discretion
shall bo vested in Mr Reed , or whether
such a revision of'tho house rules can
bo made as will prevent sudvessivo
motions for adjournment and roll calls
without the transaction of legislative
business iutormodlato between them , is
the problem which the house committee
on rules has confronting it and which
must bo determined by a vote in the
house itself ,
The early announcement and forma
tion of the commltteo on appropriations
will also bo greatly to the bonolK of the
oxpcdltion of public business , Wash
ington dispatches state that the esti
mates are all in and that the commltteo
having organized , its clerks during the
recess have been busily onguged in preparing -
paring the materials for the considera
tion of the various sub-conimittocs. Its
chairman , Mr Cannon of Illinois , is a
western man , thoroughly Idontiflod
with western growth , and may bo expected -
pocted to sco that the combination of
custom interests shall not again , as it
has bo often done m tlio past , militate
against the domnnds of the west for
proper recognition lu the axpondituro
of public mouoyg
Altogether there is every reason to
bollovo that the present session of con
gress will bo a business session It has
started out auspiciously and there socms
to bo an evident desire oil the part of
both tlio sen ate and hous ' 6" to got down
