AN eastern prohibition organ which manages to gather a comfortable income Irani the agitation , recently interrogated Kansas coilnty olllcials regarding the effect of prohibition on property values , Industries , population , tuxes and on the investment of capital. The deputy treas urer of Ellsworth county replied with an assortment of facts which , it is safe to safe , will not find a place in the text books of the hired ngltators. In. ISSo , Ellsworth county contained olghty-Hvo per cunt of wild prairie. During the succeeding three years f.uan property increased thirty-eight per cent and city property twenty-two par con t , and the population increased fifty p3r cent , From 1833 to ' 03 values fell away ton per cent , the population decreased twenty-four cent , the two manufactories In the county collapsed and during the present year taxes increased ton per cent over the preceding- year , making the levy BOVOU and throo-quartors psr cent.

Thus In the case of Cuba sind Porto Uieo , from which this country obtains about ono-hnlf of Itsfitip- ply of suffar , ho would i-ctuso to admit this sufftirto cur nuirknts free tmlessour products were admitted frco to these AVost India islands , and ho would apply this policy generally to .American countrlos.

In view of the fact tluit the United Slates Is bj'fiiitho largest put- cluiscr of the imyar of Cubi : and 1'orto lUco It is possible that the pollc.v pro posed by Mr. lllaino could ba success fully cnrriud out with'rospaut to trndo with tho5o Islands , but there nro obvious considerations which war t-lint u doubt whether such reciprocity is at present practicable. The rovcnuo necessities of tliojc islands make perhaps the strongest of those considerations , and another of hardly less force is the fact that as to many of our iminurauttfcd ) products wo cannot offer us favorable terms as the foreign iniinufacturofd who now got nearly all the tradu of those markets , In his letter to Senator Fryo Mr. Dlaino says that while ho docs not doubt that in many respects the pending tarill bill is a just measure and that most of its provisions tire In ac cordance with a wise policy of protec tion , yet "thcro is not a section or a line in the whole bill that will open a murket for another bushel of wheat or another barrel of pork. " It Is in this respect that the measure is particularly weak. What the agricultural producers of this country ' need is not duties upon pro ducts of the farm , but markets for the sale of their products. . As Mr. Hlaino correctly states , our for eign market for breadstulTs Is gi owing narrower. The competition of India and Russia In the European mar kets is every year increasing , so that vo nro gradually losing ground in the old world. The time has como when wo must seclv an outlet for our broadstulTs in the countries south of us. The theory upon which Mr. McKliiluy framed his tariff bill is that wo do not need to trouble ourselves about any other mar ket than our own. I3uild up the homo market , was the argument of McKlnloy , and American farmers will not find it necessary to look abroad for buyers of tholr products. This sort of talk may sound patriotic , but the intelli gent farmer knows it is not practical. It Is asorioua condition that confront him , the pressure and severity of which sire not alleviated by the theories of such protectionists as Mr. MeKinloy , however plausibly presented. Whether the pol icy proposed by Mr , IJlalnowould ac complish all that is claimed -for It miiy bo doubted , but His unquestionably supe rior lo tlio policy which the secretary of state declares it would bo a grave error to adopt , SENATE DHnA.TK. The several conferences of republican senators to consider the question of adopting a. rule limiting debate In the senate indicate a determined purpose among these who favor the innovation to hivvo such a rule adopted , if possible. But the republican , senators are not unan imous In support of the proposition. Several of them , among whom is Mr. Edmunds , liavo thus far vigorously op posed imy change from the timo- honorcd practice of the senate of allowing unlimited debate. These senators insist that there should bo ono body in which legislators should bo al lowed absolute freedom of discussion , that the maintenance of this privilege in the senate since the organization of the government has never worked In jury toanylntorcst , and that it is a wise and proper practice which ought to bo continued. On the ether hand it is contended that the right of unrestricted debate may bo abused to defeat the will of tlio majority ; that in - its exor cise u minority , however small , if it have the physical endurance , may "talk to death" any measure proposed by the majority , and that it is a potential moans of obstructing and retarding busi ness. Another argument is that with the present largo membership of the semite It is unreasonable to continue a practice which may have been entirely unobjectionable when the senate was a small body. Besides , tlio character of the senate 1ms undergone u , change. Formerly senators wore as a rule content with a , reasonable dis- cusslon of questions , but of hvto years the lillbustorLn ? spirit has entered the upper housa gnil threatens to bo as ob stinate and mischievous thcro as it hud boon until the present session in the lower branch of congress. It Is this menace which suggested the adoption of u rule limiting debate in thcHonato. The most important consideration In volved In the question so for as the party in control of the bemito is concerned is ono of policy. Is it judicious to make the proposed departure under existing circumstances , when It may bo con strued as a proceeding- intended solely to servo ix.partlsan purpose ? Iho gen eral public tal < o very little interest in the average senate delate and ordina rily the great majority ol people would not care whether discussion wore free or restricted. They concern thoinsolvus generally only with the votes. Hut it iseasy to BOO that under present circumstances it would bo possible for the minority party in congress touinko political capital out of an innovation of this kind. Mean while , however , it la pertinent to oak how the majority hope to make the pro posed chan o ? There bolng freedom of tU'bntonndnn ' uiiffstt cloil right to fili buster , obviously llio minority may carry on nn cndloiH fight against the proposed now rule , or nt any rate hoop up the struggle as long nsonoof them has the physical strength to ba in his phico ' In the senate and talk. The ma jority ' may safely count upon n long- and miluou * task , even If unanimous , before j't they will Iw able toiulopt u rule limiting- dcb.ite. The Indications , however , nro that the attempt will be made , that be ing i : understood to liuvo boon the decision" of the last conference of republican sen oa ators. IS ( llMiKHT Qt\rlFtKIt \ The question has been asked wlmt right has Mr. Gilbert to hold the olllco of city gas Inspector , in view of the fact that ho is a non-resldunt of Oinnhannd is a citizen of Sarpy county. Tim Itais can only utis ? cr this question by quoting the charter provision relating to muni cipal olllcew. Section 17 of thochiirter re-ads us follows : The mayor and council shall have power to cro.ito any olllco or rmploy nuy nguntthoy jnny dt'Oia necessary for the ovoriimuntand beat interests of the city , anil to prescribe and regulate the duties , powers and compen sation of all onirerH , KgiMiU nml servants of the city not hciviii provided for. But all such njcnta , oflicor.i and servants , employed or appointed under this net , so fur ns prac ticable , must be qualified voter * of said city. DTho only rational construction that can ho placed upon this provision of the charter is that every municipal olllfor , elective or appointive , must boa. resi dent of the city and a qualified voter in the city at the lime of his appointment , unless the position requires skill or pro fessional experience which no citizen of Omaha is known to possess. . tn ether words , if nobody in Omaha was qualllied to perform the du ties of gas inspector , the mayor and council would have the right to appoint a non-resident to the position. But when such non resident is appointed ho would bo ex pected to reside within the city limits of Omtilnt , and qualify himself for citizen- whip within six months after lie receives his appointment. Nobody will contend that Mr. Gilbert was the only person in Omaha qualified for Iho duties of yas inspector nt tlio tjmo of his appointment. Ilonco it fol lows that his appointment was in viola tion of the charter. Assumlny that Gil bert was Iho only man in Omahuqualllied for the place , when ho was appointed , his failure to qualify as a voter by his continued residence outside of Omaha nnd outside of this county is a deliunco of the law and makes it the duty ot the mayor to supplant him with a qualified elector of this city. 1'his is the plain inton't of the charter under which the mayor ntul council are managing mu nicipal affairs. TUB Indian la becoming- object of prime interest to political parties in the now states. Under "tho severally law the Indian taking iv farm and hoeing his own row becomes H citizen of the United Stntos , with all the rights and troubles which folio win its" wake. The number entitled to vote at present is comparatively light , but it must bo re- mouibored that , the law lias not been in operation many years. The reduction of tlio Sioux rosarvatlon w.n the moans of inducing- several hundred out of a total of twenty-live thoiruntl In dians in South Dakota to take up farms. Others must follow from iieeosalty , as it is tlio policy of the government to compel thorn to work by steadily reducing their rations. It is neb likely , however , that there will bo a radical change in the customs of the tribe while Sitting Dull and other retired - tired cut-throats ara a power In the council of the tribes. Mig-hty few of them will from choice exchange govern ment rations for work with the privilege of voting. But It is bound to'come , and politicians nro already cultivating ac quaintance with Lo for mutual advan tage and profit. Judged by Nebraska's experience with Indian voters , the South Dakota contingent is not likely to astonish the country by their zeal for an honest ballot nn'l a fair count. The strain will fall on the candidate's pock- otbook. THE order has gone forth among the corporations to cut down expenses. Following lowing- the example of the Union Pacific , wholesale discharges have been made by the Chicago roads. The cause of this sudden spasm of economy is given out to bo reduced earnings , but it is a signill- cant fact that the corporation gulllotiuo falls on the poorly paid workingmen , while the high naluricd ofllcials escape. Behind this pretentious show of "hard times" lies a deep laid schema to hood wink the public. It Is nothing less than an oltort , by wholesale-discharges , to check the ngitntlon for reduced rates under federal and state laws. 'Hut it will not work. During the month of May , with cut throat wars and rates re duced to bed rock , the corporations oper ating between Chicago and the Missouri river , showed an average increase over the corresponding month last year , rang ing from ten to sixteen per cent. When the railroads exhibit such a remarkable incroiibo during a strife conceded to have been the most disastrous war in fifteen years , it is ovido'nt that the present cur tailing of expenses isa deliberate attempt to manufacture public scntii'nent against the order of the Interstate commerce commission for reduced rates. It is tlio old plea of poverty in a now aru.

Tltn school elevens in Salt L.nko City and Ogden resulted In a grand victory for the friends ot .tlio frco school. The fiI liberals : swept CTurythlng , by minorities larger 1 ; than In the February olrctlon. The result forcibly confirms the decline of Mormon puwpi" ' in the chief cities of the territory. ( it deposes the church from municipal control and places the public | school system in the hands of Its friends. Under Mormon rule the BO- callud public schools were nothing more Ct than annexes to the church. The trus tees were elected from districts , but by 1 a species of gerryman dering 1I that would send a blush to Indiana , the Mormons suc ceeded In shutting out their opponents and managed thu schools so as to con tribute to the growth of the church. As a consequence , other denominations were compelled to maintain schools. Practically thcro was 110 system of pub ? lie schools under Mormon rule. The election of liberal trustees murks a nota ble advance in the cause of education in Uluh ns well as the steady divorcement 1c 1S the church from the control and man agement of temporal afTiilrs. TIIK protest of the meeting of work- ingmcn at ShelHeld , llngland , against the proposed American tariff can only bo regarded as a piece of impertinence. It cannot bo doubted that the demonstra tion was inspired by the cutlery manu facturers of that city , but whether such was the case or not it was a proceeding tlmt is not likely to do them any good. The proposed increase of the duties on cutlery may bo regarded by a majority of the American people as unwise , but they will none the less resent this for eign meddling with an affair wholly their own.

Thou sands of people went to hear gifted and tal ented men discuss the pro and con of this im portant question and worn not disappointed in the result , Some oC the ablest speeches made in our st ate for years were delivered there.

A HOME XISCISSSITV. Luxuries become conveniences and con veniences become necessaries as clvilivatlon advances. Whoa the first cncyclorctlla was published it was a luxury for the rich.

Apploton's cost Sl'JO , nud as a sot could not bo complete with out tlio annuals to date , tlio expense was in a few years greater than that of the Britamiica. It was a heavy tnx on all except the very rich but the incalculable usefulness to all literary workers nnd others who desired available In formation thut5l,000,000 has been sent out of this country for the Brltannlcn. Since the publication ol the Britamiica In vestigations have discovered so many new facts and changed old ones that it can no longer bo trusted to contain n complete sum mary of practical knowledge. In its original form it was not enough for this country since a great deal of its information consisted of details ' about obscure British places and its treatment of American topics was very superficial. No now compilation of a full encyclopaedic nature has been made recently except that which TUB BKI : has secured for its sub scribers. The publishers of this American ized Encyclopedia Brltannlca have preserved - served all the valuable features of tno orig inal , which -was unquestionably the great est work of tlio kind over made , and have re modeled it to suit the latest researches and particularly to satisfy American buyers who wish hut one encyclopedia. An encyclopedia has become necessary In all educated families.
