srnwa OUTLOOK.
Nebraska stands at the threshold of
: m unusual prosperity in this spring
time of 1801. Two singularly unprofit
able seasons for 'agriculture Bent the
pendulum Mr ever in the direction of
doproislon in all western states during
tlio past enr. Conditions are now rad
ically changed , and the pendulum
swings unmistakably to the side of pros
perity.
The present year should bo mitr.or-
able for llio ro\lvul of thrift among
farmois , for the development of now
torritoty , for the attraction of now cap
ital , now citl/cns and now in
dustries. The opportunity for such
an era of growth is surely nt
Inuul. Ita bonolHs will bo iculi/ed if
the public Is ic-iuy to bring faith , en
ergy and ontorpiiso to boar upon it. It
Is inspiring to icviow the conditions
which justify those hones of good limes
Early In the preterit month the legis-
latino will ailjoutn. And the. most dis
turbing element in business calculations
will depart with It. The fear of unjust
legislation against capital , which is far
more widespread than circumstances
\\arinnt , will then bo as dead as the
man ice of prohibition. "Whon the re
sults of the present session are summed
up. tholtui'tting public In the oustwhoso
confldonco nml co-operation is Important
to all \\cstorn \ staU" . will bo restored.
Tliis class of people ha\o obtained erro
neous views of our public sentiment.
They have mistaken tlio mouthing of
demagogues for the sober s-cnso of the
people. Thpy will be enlightened when
they learn that the legisbituro of Ne
braska is as well within the bounds of
luason as the great and general court of
M-iflsnchinollM , which las just referred
the piayors of the Bollamyitoi "to the
next legislature. "
The promise of great crops and fair
prices is well-founilcU. The whole state
has enjoyed an unusual amount of Into
bnow. In the eastern half -the
soil is thoroughly soaked , and
a vci\ moderate rainfall will make it
heavy with grain in the coming months ,
liven the western portion haj had more
than its usual amount of winter mois
ture. Irrigation is there the hope * of
prosperity , and irrigation h w bjgun to
como at last. Dining the past 10 days
plans 1mvo boon comutmnalcd for the
constitution of two now canals in Chey
enne county , for several In Keith
county and for olliors in the southwest
ern pii-t of the state. Other similar en
terprises aio in a promising stage of de
velopment , and one of them contem
plates the largest irrisrating ditch in the
United Stvto-i. It cm now bo said
with peifcct bifoty that hundreds
of thousands of dollais will bo invested
in the reclamation of the semi-arid lands
Investorn Nebraska- this ycir , and that
that section is assured of rapid develop-
mo. . . .
To these favorable conditions it is only
necessary to add the grounds for the
hope of a good market and good pi ices
for farm ptuducts and cattle. ThobO are
Hollabsuicd. Good prices are the in
evitable legacy of short crops and in
creasing1 demands. Uvorything indi
cates a continuance of tlio strong and
Ilrm market which already exists.
Under these favorable ehcunistances
Nebraska's spring outlook is as bright us
yostoiday's skies. It only lemains for
her people to ttiko the best advantage
of their opportunity.

The census bulletin , relating lo the
production of coil west of the Mibdlwippi
rivoi is a lovolation. It shows that this
feature of wc&tcin icsourcosis only at
the beginning of its development , but
that already a large amount of capital
and an army of men aio employed in it ,
Dm ing the pvbt 10 years the pio-
duction of coal in the western states has
increased more than ! ! 00 per cent. A
largo part of this significant increase is
duo to the extension of operations in the
vast coal field underlying the prairiob of
Iowa , Kansas and Missouri. The out-
out fiom this Hold in 1S90 was 2,230,703
tons In Kansas , 1,401,110 , tons in Iowa ,
and 2,607,823 tons in Missouri. In these
thicu states about seventeen thousand
pooulo aio now omplovod at the Indus
try and they rocohed in 1889 a total
wage of ever eleven million dollars.
These are striking facts , showing the
importance of coal mining in the praiilo
states and indicating how much mitto-
rial prosperity is involved in their do-
voloinnont. In the last 10 years North
and South Daltoti have boon added to
the list of coal-producing states and
Texas and ( Joloiado have largely in-
erea'ou their ptodurtion. Thobo facts
bhould provo highly interesting to the
neoplo of Nebraska. Geologists loll us
that the sell underlying our prairies has
the same general chaiautorlstics as that
of Iowa and Kansas. The Btato otters a
liberal bounty for the discovery of coal ,
and there are frequently encouraging
reports from those engaged in the ( most.
It is well within the probibilitios that
coal will bo numbered among the pio-
ducts of Nebraska , in the next 10 years
If it is , it will be u now element In the
prosperity of the state and a new contri
bution to the economy of life.
The coal hunters of Nebraska should
take now hope uoin.the facts reported
by the consun.

Today ovorj family in the United
States will bo given an object lesion on
the tariff In the decline in the pilco of
sugar. The provisions of the taiilf act
relating to sugar , which go into ofloct
today , admit f roe of duty sugar below
No. 10 Dutch standard in color , which
is a grade that can bo used for domestic
purposes , and mnko the duty on sugar
tvbovo this standard live-tenths of ono
cent per pound , except such as comes
from countries having an expert tax ,
which must piy a nllghtly higher duty.
The prlcu of sii vr will be reduced to the
consumer nouly 2 cents a pound , and
thoaggrogatosivlngto the people will
amount to ever $00,000,000 annually , or
an average of about $8 to otioh family.
The annual loss of revenue to the treas
ury will bo noaily oqu.il to the amount
sa\cd by the people.
The law provides for the payment of a
bounty on all sugars produced In this
country , which provision also ooeomos
opoiatlve from today , though no pij-
niont ? arotobomadountilJuly 1. Sugar ,
to ho entitled to the two-cent bountymust
test not losa than 00 degrees by the
polarlscopo , and sugar testing loss than
00 degrees and not loss than 80 will ro-
colvo a bounty of ono and throo-lourths
conts. Under thoiogulntions proscribed
b > the commissioner of Internal revenue ,
In pursuance of the tnrllt nut , producers
of sugar who Intend to apply for a
bountv on sugar produced during the
fiscal year ending Juno 30 , 18012 , must
file notice and innko application
for a license within the year beginning
April 1 , giving full and detailed in
formation regarding methods , machinery
and capacity. It is provided that the
bounty shall continue in force until the
year iDO < > .
The sugar schedule of the now tariff
law is the most important of any fo.ituro
of. the act In the otfoct it will have upon
the icsourccs of the tieisury , as well as
In the largo aggiogato saving that will
result to the people , upon this nec
essity in every home. Not only will
sugar bo cheaper , but every thing that it
hugely outers into will ba reduced incest
cost so that the siving to the homos of
the country will bo very much gicator
than the dnTcionco in the pi ice of sugar
befoio and after the taking otTcctof the
law. Perhaps it would not bo far out of
the way to estimate the total saving to
consumers of sugar , confectionery ,
canned fiuits , etc. , at $75,000- ,
000 annually , from which thcio
should propoily bo deducted the
amount of the bounty , which can
not bo estimated with any degree of ac
curacy. The sugar schedule of the now
tai li ! act Is its most popular foatmo , nnd
when in every homo of the land its bene
fits are roili cd , the fict may have the
ofTect of leading a gicat manj people
who have rogaided the law with dis
favor to ftol less hostile towards it.

The indications are that the new meat
inspection law will pioduco excellent re
sults at homo and abioad. The secro-
tai'i of ngiicultuio has been ad\liod of
the contemplated establishment of sev
eral plants for the picking of ho ? pio-
ducts and the prop nation of diosbcd
beef exclusively for export , and the nro-
jcctors of those enterprises have notilled
the seciotary that they desire the in
spection law to be put In foiuo at once ,
Infoiination fiom the ngicultural { de
partment shows that the icbults of the
yet itnpoifoet operation of the Inspec
tion systcm'liave been highly satibfac-
torj , the increase in the fotoign cattle
trade for the fhst two months of this
year ever the corresponding poilod last
year being noaily , ' { 2 per cent.
It is beliovcd that the inspection sys
tem will become very popular , as it tip-
piles4o moats to bo shipped from ono
state to another , and that as soon as con
sumers understand its workings they
will accept only inspected moats , es
pecially pork. Packets will find them
selves obliged to ask for inspection of
their products in 01 dor to lot.iin * holr
trade. Although the principal object
of the law was to do away with the pre
text of fotoign govointnonts for exclud
ing our meats , by providing an inspection
that would render almost impossible the
exportation of unsound or dUonsoa cattle
and meats , and while generally local in
spection in this country is a pretty safe
protection of local consumers , yet it was
wise to make the national in
spection system applicable to meats
entering into interstate commerce , be
cause too great care cannot bo taken to
have the llosh food of the people abso
lutely bound and healthy. And the inoio
stringent the inspection regulations are
at Ijomo the greater conlidoncu will the
law command abroad ,
Foreign governments which discrimi
nate against our cattle and meats will
probably recede from their position
gradually , but that they will
ultimately yield their rostiictions
at least to the o\.tont of placing
the United States on an equality with
other countries is not doubled. It would
have boon utterly impossible , however ,
to accomplish this without the inspec
tion system nrovldod for by the last con
gress , and the indieitions are that this
measure , which oncountoiod vigorous
opposition , will not bo the least hnpoit-
ant legislation for which that congress
will long bo romombeiod.
In summoning homo the minister of
Italy to the United States , the Italian
government has committed a distinctly
hostile act. There is no clo irly deilnod
issue between the two countries , Moio
than two vveoUs ago anumbjr of Italians ,
some of them piosumed to bo subjects of
the king of Italy , wore killed by a mob
in the city of Now Orloans. The mat
ter was brought to the attention of
the state department _ by the Italian
minister , and the president assured the
Italian government that the occurrence
wns deeply regretted by the goxornmont
of the. United States , and that It would
bo duly investigated. The governor of
Louibiaiu was communicated with and
Informed that the Italian subjects In
that state wore entitled to protection
and must receive It. The response of
the governor was that the occur
rence was being properly inves
tigated by the legal authori
ties and tliat every olTort would
bo made to see that the laws woto justly
administered , which meant that thobo
who woio guilty of the mob violence
would bo punished.
The federal govointnont had done all
it possibly could in the mat tor. It had
notified the authorities of Louisiana that
Italian subjects living In that stale
must bo protected , it could not arrest
citi/ons of that state who had violated
-local laws until the state authori
ties signified that they wore un
able to execute the laws of the state.
The matter was still under investlgu-
tion , and pending the result the national
government could notr properly tnko any
fuithor action. It was compelled to
avvnit the result of the investigation by
the authorities of the state of Louisiana.
This , it would seem , the Italian government -
ornmont either does not under
stand or was unwilling to wait
for , and under the inlluenco of
homo pros-sure and the btatomon's
of its representatives in this country it
lias taken a course thai thiootcnsto
seriously disturb the peaceful tolatlons
between the two countries ,
The real intent of the Italian govo-n-
mont in taking thin action Is not clemly
defined at this time , It may not moan a.
dcslro to ptovoko actual hostilities
with this eTVOWtiy. It is possi
ble , and ovfei probable , that
it is sinijlyl ( designed to In
dicate an earnest protest on tlto part of
that government against what It con
ceives to bo nff nadoquato concern on
the part of thti United States In this
matter. Itvllll bs vvlso lo wait for fur
ther disclosures bcfoto concluding that
the Italian ijoveVmnent really moans to
make the grave mistake of engaging in
a war with thfcountry. ( . Perhaps the
otttcomo will vcrj # ( largely depend upon
what view tliotutmlnlstratlon shall tnko
of the action of the Italian government ,
but wo think it safe to predict that the
lasuo will not result in war. Neither
country Is quilo prepared to go to that
exttomlly. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The disgraceful condition of the paved
streets of this city for the past thtoo
weeks has moused citizens to the ne
cessity of jnoro thorough cleaning of
our thotoughfarcs. Hitherto the ox-
pendttutos in this direction have boon
unequal to the emergency. More money
and an economical s.vstom of its distri
bution is essential to the moper caioof
Omaha's streets.
The city expended last oar $4,74103
foi sweeping and cleaning stivots.
Seine idea of the cost in other
cities may bo obtained from the
following statement filed by a special
commission which Investigated the sub
ject in Now York : Now York , $1,270-
(317.81 ( ; Chicago , $103,81021 ; Philadel
phia , 5121,112 OS ; Biookljn , $210a00.13 ;
Boston , $120,000,13ullalo , $102,700 ; Wash
ington , H > 2,15i,76.
Washington city cleaned 9,000 miles
of paved shoots , Her population Is
2,000. ? ) Prom the chntaotcr of pave
ment and the fact that most of the dty
is paved the work is chlelly done by
sweeping machines. It costs less pio-
poitionatoly to keep Washington stieets
clean than these of any comuioiclal city ,
because the pavement is gonoi.illy
smooth and there is almost no travel to
and fiom the country and very little to
and liom out of town streets in bad
woithor. Yet it appeals that Omaha
with 110,000 people expends for sticot
cleaning loss than ono-fouith as much as
Washington.
The fund available for the present
je.ir is likewise inadequate. It may all
bo expended and vet proper relief bo not
obtained , because of the unfavoiablo
conditions cited. It might , hov.ovor.be
piofltnbly supplemented by utih/lng the
seivicosof citj prisoner3who now boaid
out thoh lines and feed out their terms
of imprisonment at the expense of the
city and county. Under the slieot
commissioner with a policeman
or t\\o as guards , the vagabonds ,
thieves and otiicr criminals could por-
foim a vast amount of the icqiiiiod
vvoilc. Inasmuch as this would bo addi
tional labor to tha't for which funds are
available , they would not in any sense
bo competitors of the stroat laboiors
rcgulaily or Irregularly employed. Tlio
huv contemplates that these jail bhds
shall earn a patt'of the cost of their
crimes and misdemeanors and to long as
they would not in the least
interfere with the wago-oarnprs there
can bo no valid reason why they should
not bo so employed ,
Economy is a virtue to bo commended
in the city government , but it should not
bo applied so ugidly to departments so
dhoctly n1Tocting the reputation , com
fort and welfare of the city , while ot-
tiavngnncos continue inloss important
ditoctions.
Tin : nordlstont protests of Tin : BUK

incsponsiblo roid-houso di\es to the
ovtont at least that they shall bo sub
