T/MT t AS A MAX COUI'KTITIOX. The domnml tohnvo Canadian rallrond coinK | > tlton ! roguHted. of which not mieh has rrcontly b' cn hoard , has not KHJII abandoned , A short tlmo ngo the ittornoye of Port IIuron elevators filed vlth the secrotnry of the treasury n l rlef isldiig that the entire Bystem o ( grnnt- ng to the rntlroails of Ouinda the prlvl- ego of transporting fit'lght in bond be- veon points In the United States bo rc.- okcd. A similar request was mixdo loiirly a your ngo , nnd the matter has xen n good deal dlticus-sod since. One of the arguments xtrgod In justification of this request id that the Canadian gov ernment declines to reciprocate by ro using to allow Canadian grain to bo stored In and distributed to Canadian territory under similar conditions. Son- itor C'ullom has introduced a revolution in the senate , which will doubtless bo iduptod , calling upon the secretary of thu treasury to report to the senate by what authority merclmmllso In bondiind goods of domestic origin are permitted - ted to lo forwarded between Iho Atlantic ami Pacific ports of the United States over the Canadian Pa- cilic railway , such morohnnuiso being tr.iiis-shippod at Vntiifouvoruml whether or not such transportation and trans shipment on foreign territory is consist- out with the safety of the revenue. This mutter H of very imitorlal Im port nnco to the producers of the west and northwest , and It Is certainly desirable that some olllclal expression regarding Iho tictunl operation of the privilege al- lowud Canadian railroads of trans porting In bond inurelmndlso and iroods of domestic origin should lie had. The country should Ijj author itatively advised whether or not the system Is consistent with the safety of tlio revenue , nnd whether also it has the effect to in anywisu interfere with the interstate commerce net. Tlio ro- fusul of reciprocity on the part ot Cn.ii- ndn is ) ) orhap3 of' minor importance , while with regard to the business of American lines doubtless it must bo con ceded to bo to somu extent unfavorably nITcc'lud. An ofllcor of the treasury under the last administration , who had an opportunity to familiari/.e himself with tills subject upon its first presenta tion , itllirms that none of the arguments used asruinst the privilege enjoyed by the Canadian roads , which has been in operation since ] 375 ! , are tenable. IIo says in regard-to the revenue objection that throughout the long period during which the system has been in force no fraud on the revenue has been discov ered , nnd if this shall bo oflleinlly shown to be the fact tlio most important argu ment against the system will bo dis posed of , and tlio others , oven if con ceded , will hardly bo considered ns of suTlidunt weight to justify radical measures for cheeking or. shutting out Canadian competition. Tlio fact is that this Canadian compe tition has become so large and impor tant a factor In the business of tlio north west that nothing short of a demonstra tion that it is not consistent with the safety of the revenue would have any in- lluenco toward inducing public opinion In the northwest to favor any change from prevailing conditions , and the same Is true as to Now England. Both sec tions are unquestionably deriving1 great bonotlt from this competition , and tlio independence they enjoy by reason of it from the exactions of American -lines they will not surrender without a very hard struggle. ! Nb one questions that the alien corporations doing busl- 'ness In the United States should bo sub ject ) so far as that business is concerned , to the -regulating domestic roads , but it is not doubted that this is practi cable without destroying the competi tion. It is not probable that anything decisive will bo done regarding this matter at the present session of congress but the information desired of the secre tary of'tlio treasury should bo obtained. TIIK OHIO ItKl'l'DMCAXS. The republicans of Ohio have held tholr state convention , the most Inter esting feature of which was the uppoar- nneo of ox-Governor Forakcr , who made a most conciliatory speech , counseling that all past ditTeronecs bo forgotten and forgiven. The ox-governor , with most uncommon magnanimity for a politician , assumed all blame for what has taken place to the detriment of the parly , und offered himself a willing sacrifice to tlioso republicans in the state who feel that they must have a victim. All that Mr. Forakor said was com mendable , but the dilllculty will bo to make the moil who have tried the ox- governor in thu past und found him want ing believe that It was said in good faith. The course of Forakor lias boon a vury costly ono to the republicans of Ohio and the mischief it his accomplishes will not bo repaired by conciliatory speeches , particularly from him. Tlio dls direction it created gave Ohio to demo cratic control , and the task of redeeming the state will bo n very dillicult ono. Nor will it bo rendered loss BO by the active participation of Mr. Forakor. IIo has earned a chin-actor for untrust worthiness in his political relations with individuals which ho cannot remove with Miioolh words , and tboso whoso confidence ho has trilled with , at the prompting of his ambition , nronotlikolj to bo greatly impressed by the appnrou magnanimity of his assumption of ul blame for thoparty'j disaster. Asldo from the results In the eongres slonal districts political affairs la Ohio this year will pjssess no very great in toroht , The gerrymander otl'ectod b the democratic legislature , the third or fourth in the history of the state , which was in-ranged with a vio\v to reversing the political standing of the delegation la eougross , gives pjciilhu interest to the congressional contests. Sivor.il prominent republican Ohio con grossmcn , among them Mr , MelClnloy are liable to bo retired , and democrat confidently predict that the Ohio dologa tlon in the Fifty-socond congress wil st'ind slxtojn democrats and flvo repub lieans.a gain ol twelve damaarats. Mr. MeKlnloy has announced that ho wil boa candidate for rc-olootloa nnd tha ho will imvko the fight on the tarltl issue as represented ii his bill , but as thu now district ban ai estimated democratic majority of thirty 11 vo hundred the chances of ills being uiimibor of the uoxt congress ure ox romoly slim. On the whole , the re- mbllcan party of Ohio h not nt present n flrat rale fighting trim. Not only is , hcro dissension among the leaders , but hero i every reason to believe that the ilgh protection shibboleth has lost u great deal of Its old force with the iiasscs of the party. Unquestionably Congressman Butler-worth represents u nrger popular sentiment in the state him Major McKlnley. SKAMTOB F/ll'B OAT HKCirtlOCITT. An extract is published from n letter of Senator Fryo In response to that of Secrotnry Blaine relating to reciprocity vith the southern countries. It Is plain hat the senator does not regard the > lim of the secretary with absolute nvor , and his line df reasoning is on- , itlcd to thoughtful consideration. Ite- erring to the amendment to the tarllT > lll proposed 'b\ * Senator Halo ns doubt- ess including the articles which the secretary of state believes the Latln republics will recolvo free rom this country In compensation or free sugar , Senator Fryo remarks that the difficulty Is that the amount of sugar to bo received from UUMO stales vould bo comparatively small and the consumer of sugar would receive no jenofil from it. With regard to the sugar of Cuba und Porto Kleo , Its free ad- nl-wiou would bo n benefit to the con sumers , but will Spain admit into those slajids free from duty the nutlelos nimed in the Halo iimoiuhn3iil ? The act is , allot them are not in demand there , and 'such as are would cut a very small figure in our commmvo nnd in re- lucing the surplus of our products. The 'ree admission into Cuba of American lour would probably not make an addi- , ional demand for more than II vo million jushols of our wheat , if so much. As : o the South American states , it is easy to exaggerate tlio value of those mar kets for our brcadstulls , the fnct being Hint the nioro progressive of thorn no .onger need to import largely of food products. The Argentine Republic is nn exporter of brandstuVt's and calllo , and its rapidly expanding agricultural development gives promise tint within a few years it will baoomo ono of the moat active coimutitors of the United States. The moro carefully this problem of extending our southern trade is studied the more difficult Its solution will ap pear. The long-established commercial policies of those countries , and the close business alliances tint have crown up uotwccn them and European countries , can not bo changed in a day , nor are the circumstances such as will allow us to dictate the terms upon which a change shall bo made. Trade reciprocity bo- twcen the United States and the countries south of it is something to bo hoped for and worked for , but it is doubtful if the practicable way to achieve It is the one urged by Mr. Ulaino. ASPHALT I'AVJXG KKl'.llltS. A formal complaint has been made by ono of our paving inspectors against the use of asphalt that has boon taken up on old paved streets for the repair of ether strcels that are to bo kept in good con dition by the Barber asphalt company under its contract with the city. While there may bo no specific pro vision in this contract that prohibits tlio use of second hand asphalt it stands -to reason that such material would not bo equal in wear to asph lit that has never been exposed to the elements and wear and tear of travel and traffic. The convenience ) and comfort of our cilizcnB demand that the host materials shall bo used , and that streets shall not bo blockaded by the repairing gang every few months. The fault primarily" lies with tlio property owners them selves. They should have insisted upon a ton or twenty years' guaranty in stead of a live yours' guaranty. That would have given us an eight or ten inch concrete base In- stcnd of a six-inch buso w.hich , at the present time , has shrunk to three Inches of concrete and three inches of gravel. Wore the company required to keep the pavement in first class condi tion for ten or twenty years it would take great pains to lay a substantial base and cover it with a coaling of asphalt that would stand the wear and tear of ten years' tnifiic. As it is the cheaper pave ment becomes the dearer in the end. But that does not justify the use of in ferior material for repairing. On that point there can bo no issue. SCHOOL SUI If the now board of education proposes to make a change In the suporlntend- cney of our public schools it must have assurance beyond question that the change will bo for the bettor. The pat rons of the public schools do not O.omand and will not approve the substitution of any man for Mr. James unless ho bo known to possess superior qualifications as an educator and greater executive ability. Such a man can only bo found in a city larger than Omaha. It Is ono thing to command a company and another thing to exercise a brigade or division. A man wtio has never had supervision over moro than fifty or seventy-five teachers In some city of thirty or forty thousand population is liable to break down when ho Is culled upon to organize and supervise the schools of u city Unit employs two hun dred and fifty to three hundred teachers , and is btcudily growing. It would bo just as sensible to place tlfo editor of some country weekly in charge of TIIK OMAHA BKK us to import a man from Topoku to take charge of the schools of Omaha. Mr. James has his friends and his enemies , but It Is conceded by all that our public bchools rank with the best in the country. They are the pride of our cltl/ens and should bo kept up to their present standard of efficiency. TIIK official organ of the combine ac cuses Tun BKK of making a fierce as sault upon Inspector Gilbert and u per emptory demand for ills removal. Now wo submit to all who have read our com ments on Mr. Uilbort , whether It was a fierce assault , or merely a plain , dispas sionate review of the law bearing upon his eligibility to fill his ollice. There was no demand for his removal , or oven an intimation that such a demand would bo mndo. Wirhirro simply pointed out the fact Hint h ujan must bo a voter In the city of Omaha to bo eligible to an ofllco .under our charter. The nsscrtion pf the organ of the com bine that Mr. ttllbort owns three houses and pays taxes hi' ' this city hiw no bear ing upon his right to holJ a city office. A man might owii half the city nnd still bo disqualified , for ollleo in Onmlm if hols auon-resldoat. The inucndo that the gns company has instigated our comment is beneath contempt. Gilbert would have bc6n dropped three years ngo had not TitK-But : exerted Its influ ence in his behalf , The question wo have dealt with Is not as to his efficiency or faithful ness , but his disqualification by reason of his residence in Sarpy county. _ PACKIXG statistics for the 'past wcok show a ronmrkablo increase In the mar keting of hogs.

The figures demolish the predictions made last fall that the crop of pork in the west was exhausted and an advance of prices would result. On the contrary prices have fallen sixty cents In a year , undtho supply. Instead of being exhausted , is apparently unlimited.
