ASOTllEll IIAILHOAD CONPKHBNCB.
A conference of railroad presidents is
culled to moot in Now York next Mon
day. It U understood that the sugges
tion of a mooting proceeded from Mr. Jay
Gould , and it is not dlmcult to Infer
what its objects nro. Doubtless the
first thing sought will bo some sort of
nn arrangement for a bettor agreement
between the transportation magnates
than it hns yet been found possible to
effect , hnd it may safely bo prosurnod
that the projector ol tlio conference will
have an ingenious plan to present for
consideration. If this can bo accom
plished the next thing to bo done will
bo a readjustment of railroad tariffs on
a basis to bo determined by the question
of railroad profits , with very llttlo
reference to thointerests of the public.
The long-maintained conlllct between
the western roads has been costly , and
the pltyi of harmonizing them will un
doubtedly involve an effort to recover
this loss. This would necessarily moan
an advance in transportation rates , and
If an agreement can bo made between
the presidents that will hold , the policy
Is very likely to bo ono of progressive
higher tariffs so long as t fa flic will
boar it.
It will bo interesting- this connec
tion to refer to the opinions of Mr.
Aldaco F. Walker , chairman of the In
terstate Commerce Hallway association ,
us expressed in a letter written a few
weeks ago nnd just inn do public. While
believing that the legislative altitude of
congress and the states is injurious and
unjust to the railways of the country ,
Mr. Walker says the dilllcultlos under
which they labor are not wholly duo to
thnt cause , and ho sees nothing to pre
vent the immediate adoption of reforms
which will greatly improve exist
ing conditions. The root of the matter
is competition , and after describing tlio
way in which It is carried ou , largely in
violation of the law , Mr. Walker de
clares it to bo competition gone mad.
Such wild and reckless business methods ,
ho says , are not in the interest of the
public nnd are ruinous to the railway
system. Railway managers should recog
nize the essential unity of railroad in
terests and act accordingly , the presi
dents having the power by concur
rent action to put an end to every
species of unfair competition. Every
road has kept Itself fully prepared for
lighting ; what is now needed , in the
opinion of Chairman Walker , is a now
treaty based upon disarmament. The
linns should rid themselves of the ma
chinery for rate cutting , there should bo
concentration of authority and unifica
tion of interest , and a prominent factor
should bo stability of rates. .In this way ,
Chairman Walker thinks , the not
revenues of every line would bo pro
tected and at the same time the public
would be bettor served.
Very likely the deliberations of the
coming conference of presidents will bo
in part on lines laid down in this letter
of Chairman Walker , and it is quite pos
sible that more radical suggestions than
ho presents will bo adopted. Hut in any
event the mooting promi&o' ! to bo of un
usual importance , and the result will bo
awaited with very great interest in rail
way circles and by the business public.
THUS IMl'I.KMEST TRUST.
Secretary Jerry Rusk docs not like
the looks of the new trust in farm im
plements and says so plainly. Ho is a
sincere friend of the farmers and uses
all his energy and intelligence in their
interest through the workings of tbo
agricultural bureau.
The implement trust is ono of the lat
est born of that prolific mother , Monop
oly. Its initial manifesto stated that
the reason for its existence was the hope
that a concentration of the Interests of
all manufacturers of farm implements
would enable them to produce economi
cally and thereby give the public' the
benefit of lower prices. This was re
ceived at the time as a piece of gi'lm
humor , and Secretary Rusk furnishes
good evidence of its diBingcnuousncsa.
ITo assorts that its real object is to raise
the prices of farming machinery , and
adds : "I have the information from an
authoritative source , because I had an
opportunity to take some'stock and know
what inducements were offered. "
Impartial observation had led the
public to bollovo that farm machinery
was ono of the prosperous branches of
trade that was not sulToring from "ruin
ous competition , " and therefore did not
stand in need of any artificial stimulants ,
such as are found in the organization of
trusts. Secretary Rusk reiterates in
strong language the old charge that
American Implements are ottered for
sale In Russia , Australia and other
wheat-growing1 countries cheaper than
at homo. IIo says that our farmers
have a' right to complain when , ia the
face of such facts"a trust is organized to
raise still higher the prices of imple
ments in America.
Most people will agree with the secre
tary in those matters. The best informa
tion thus far received Is to the effect that
the implement manufacturers discrimi
nate against the homo market. No expert -
port testimony is needed on the results
to bo expected from the formation of the
trust , which has eliminated competition
and gained the power to fix prices. Of
course the prices will bo "what the traffic
will boar. "
In the meantime the people will bethinking
thinking how they can best got at the
greedy monopolists who sot at defiance
all national laws of trade in order to
enjoy an unnatural prosperity tor them
selves.
JVOT BE REMOVED ,
By a.vory decisive majority the house
of representatives rejected the senate
joint resolution relative to the removal
of the remains ot General Grant from
Riverside Park , Now York , to Arling
ton. It had been stated that there was
an overwhelming majority of the house
In favor of the resolution , whiehpassod
the senate at its last session , bub when
it came to a vote the supporters of the
demand for the removal of the great sol
dier's remains were able to muster only
02 , while the opposition voted 153. The
Now York congressmen had evidently
labored to BOUIO purpose , bringing to
their assistance both republican nnd
democratic votes , but chiefly the lat
ter. The resolution was simply In
the nature * of a request to
Mrs. Grunt to allow a reinterment al
Washington , nnd It waa offered In the
belief thnt she wns willing and ready to
give her assent to a proposal thus for
mally made in the name of the govern
ment and in accordance with general
public opinion.
The action of the house will doubtless
put an and , for n considerable time nt
least , to all controversy and effort relat
ing to the removal of General Grant's
remains nnd the result will ba disap
pointing to a very great majority pf the
people , and also , there Is every reason
to bcllovo , to the family of the great sol
dier. Had public opinion boon con
sulted in the first place the bones
of the conqueror of the rebellion
would never have reposed where
they do , and doubtless notio see
more clearly or fool more keenly the
mistake that wns mndo in not regarding
popular sentiment than the widow and
children of General Grant. It would
scorn that the mistake Is now beyond
remedy , and all thai can bo done Is to
make public disapproval of the faithless
ness of Now York in this matter as strong
ns possible , in the hope of so arousing
the pride and self-respect of her people
that they will make an earnest and per
sistent effort to carry out their pledge
to the country to mark the resting place
of the great soldier by a monument
worthy of his achievements. Unfortun
ately there is lltllo In past experience to
encourage the hope thnt public con
demnation of Now York's faithlessness
will have any ofl'oct , and the latest re
newal of her pledge will very llkoly
amount to no nioro than did the original
promise that the tomb of Grant should
bo the silo of a monument that would
fitly perpetuate his memory and worthily
express the gratitude of hla countrymen.
RAILROAD POLITICS IK IDAHO.
The Union Pacific railroad , according
to a late dispatch from Boibo City , has
gene into politics in Idaho. It Is stated
that ono of its well known attorneys has
gene to the capital for the purpose of
ponly opposing the election of ex-Delo-
gate Dubois , the most popular man in
daho , to the United States senate.
This news Is" interesting not only to
ho people of Idaho , but to all the states
m tlio line of the Union P.icliic "system ,
t Is the first opportunity which the
low masters of the ro.ul have hnd to
how their methods , and every mati who
s familiar with the tormor niamisroment
f Gould and Dillon will recognize their
ld characteristics in the Idaho do-
. clopmont. It is evident that they
ntond to assort their power in
politics and to endeavor to make
subserviency to their interests the indis
pensable condition of the election of men
to high oillcc. They have begun In
Idaho on the very first page of her his
tory as 11 state , and the people of other
ivcstorn states will wait with interest to
see whether the arrogant railroad bosses
can knock out a man who has fairly won
: iis senator-ship by splendid services in
securing statehood for his people.
The audacity which Jay Gould has
displayed in the organization of his gi
gantic railroad trust Is amazing. Ho
has chosen for the execution of his long-
jborishod plan the very hour when pub
ic sentiment is aroused against corpor
ate aggression. In laying his hands on
the virgin politics of 'daho ho
chooses the most conspicuous and
the most exasperating method
of achieving his ends so fur as they are
related to the general government.
Against the eve 'whelming santiinent of
public disapproval ho arrays his money
and.power , with apparent confidence
in the outcome.
If Jay Gould were a member of the
Farmers' Alliance and in sympathy with
the reformers who demand the most
radical railroad legislation , ho could
not possibly pursue a course more cer
tain to stimulate and sustain tho.o move
ments than that which ho has already
marked out for himself. Lot the people
keep their eyes open and their powdoi
dry.
TO 7JB IIKOPKNKD ,
It is stated from Washington that
something important Is likely soon to
transpire in connection with the Bohr-
ing sea controversy , nnd the opinion is
said to bo expressed by parsons holding
close relations to department diplo
matic circles that the governments o
the United States and Great Britain
must soon como to an agreement or an
open rupture on this subject. There is
is llttlo promise of the former nnd per
haps no great danger of the hitter.
The termination of negotiations lasl
summer was duo to the fact that the
state deportment declined to accept the
proposition made by the British govern
ment for a further investigation of the
matter. The government of the United
States waa unwilling to proceed either in
the way of an investigation or the up
poiutmont of a commission on the basis
proposed by Great Britain. The British
proposal in part involved a concosslor
which in the opinion of the secretary ol
state would have boon a partial surren
der of the claim which the United Statoi
has nuulo over since Alaska was ceded
by Russia , and upon the sUto depart
ment informing the .British minister al
Washington that the concession aakec
for or involved would not bo granted hi
the United States the formal nogotla
lions were brought to a close , nlthougl :
it is understood there has since beet
consldornblo correspondence on the sub
ject.
It Is now stated that In view of tin
well authenticated reports of the sorioui
damage to the seal fisheries by Canadiar
poachers the state department ia deter
mined to push this controversy to a con
elusion. The recent report of Prof. El
Holt of the Smithsonian institute , who I
an export as to the fur eoal'businoHH , re
gurding the condition of the seal Huh
cries , in which ho states that the seal
uro rapidly diminishing , is said to hav
strongly impressed Secretary Blaine
who had before believed that Btuloincmt
to this effect wore exaggerated. Ac
cerdlngly , the state department is snii
to contemplate a vigorous departure fo
the next season if , before that time
some adjustment ahull not bo rcnchc
between the two governments. It is be
lieved thai the British government I
also prepared to make a vigorous dc
parturo in the event of the Unite
States attempting to enforce its claims ate
to a close sea for the entire territory i
which the seals congregate. The stat
opartmont Is preparing to reopen con-
oroncca or. tlijf Subject nnd is gathering
low information , lobe used whenever no-
'ollaltons are resumed.

OMAHA AS A TAXl'A YKR.
The prompt payment of taxes Is ono of
he strongest proofs of the confidence and
prosperity of a community. In this ro-
pecl Omaha may safely clmllango com
parison with ntiy clly in Iho west.
The report , ot the cily treasurer for llio
current year shows the total amount of
the regular levy to bo $8110,007.40. Of
this Bum $781,01)1.00 ) has already been
paid , or 1)4 ) per cent of the total. In ad
dition property owners paid into tlio
Bounty treasury four-fifths of the county
tax , equal to $ ; J81) ) , 00 , making n total
of 31,170,901 paid into bolh treasuries to
pay the running expenses of state ,
county and city governments.
The drain ' did
ou the tax-payer's purse
not end here. The various public im
provements , such ns paving , curbing ,
lowers , grading nml viaducts , impose a
direct tax on tlio property bonolltcil ,
and notwithstanding the regular burden" ,
property owners have paid in during the
year $ oU.'lin.G- ( ) ; special luxes.
The exhibit is a gratifying evidence of
the energy , activity and unbounded faith
ot the peoplo. While other cities of
equal size are overwhelmed with delin
quent taxes , the Omaha property owner
appreciates the value of his holding and
promptly meets his obligations.
THK Cherokee strip , embracing 0,500-
000 acres , has been a source of annoy
ance to the government for years. Its
great v.iluo as a grazing ground is
shown by the fact thai scores of cattle
men have loused portions ot it from the
Indians , without asking the consent of
the government , and for six years dili
gent efforts have been made to oubt the
.stoekgrowors. / The slrip separates
Oklahoma fromJlCansas , consequently il
must of necessity become a p irt of the
public domain * at an early day. But the
Indians are not disposed to cade the
land cm the terms proposed by Iho gov
ernment , and pro determined to sell
only at their own figures. Private offers
of $20,000,000 hrlvo been made for the
land , or $2 more per acre than the gov
ernment is authorized lo pay. The
Indians cannot ( sell lo private parties
without Iho consent of congroas , a privi
lege congress is not likely to grant.
Under the , circumslancos the govern
ment should bid as high usiind'fvidiuls
nntl open Iho strip botllomonl on such
terms as will return to the treasury the
cost and expense ? .
Tin : effect of the McKInley tiriiT law
on Canadian commerce h strikingly
shown in the latest report of the finances
ot the dominion. . Customs duties for
November full away $500,000 compared
with the same month last year , while
Iho export Irado shows nn enormous
shrinkage , more especially to the United
Sljvtos , which formerly took nearly half
of what Canada had to sell. As a con
sequence the financiers of the dominion
are confronted with a deficitbf $1,000-
000 in the treasury , wllh symptoms of a
commercial collapio visible on all sides.
The financial policy of Canada has of
late years undergone a radical change
for the worse , and as llio burdens in-
crcaso ou llio people so dooa Iho senti

In Its Issue of December 11 the Control Weal
treats In u rational way of the Novomucf
election In Omaha , where Its editors reside ,
it says :
Ono naturally feels n deep Interest In nil
that concerns the place where ho has his J
domicile. Ho fools that m n mcnsiiroy \
shares the good name that may holpng to It ,
nnd ho has n keen sense of dUgriico , If nny-
thin g of a dishonorable chnrnctcr nttnchos to
It. Wo have hnd this feeling in regard to the
charges which have been brought ngnlnst
Omaha in connection with the Into election.
In our Issue two weeks ngo wo stated thnt
there were sporadlo cases of disorder , but
that there was no such state of things ns to
justify tlio cliuigcs mndo In the Now York
Voice , nnd which the interior through one of
Its Ohio coirespondents hns repeated. The
charges made In Iho Voice were of an ex
travagant chin-actor. The charges thus nuido
linvo constituted the basis upon which tlio
assault against Omahn has boon made In tha
columns of the Interior anil other religious
journals. These charges are not sustained by
the fuels.
The people of Omnha without respect to
inrty or creed have just ns much respect for
aw nnd order as the people of nnr
other city In this country. The spirit
of monocracy Is utterly nlleu to
their feelings. It should bo borne In
mind that the best and foicmost citizens of
Omaha , mnny of whom nro earnest C'lui.stlnn
men , actively participated 'a ' the Into olco-
tion. Many ot them have largo property In
terests In this city. Thulr Interests uro Inti
mately bound up In the future of Omaha. To
sunposo mii'h men should so fnr forget them
selves and the good name of the city with
which their Interests uro no closely nlllod in
to aid nnd abet riotous proceedings Is pro
postcroas. There are "sons of Uollid" 1
Omaha us in nil other communities who
have llttlo or no regard for law ami order ,
nnd it l.s not surpitslng thnt the.se men
