Tur. labor demonstrations
. abroad
, par
ticularly in some of the continental
countries , have be-on of a character to
Indicate a powerful undorfurreiit of dis-
9atlsfa tiou and unrest among the work
ing clashes whloh ouiht to arouse the
gravest concern on the part of those In
sympathy with the monarchial systems.
The most serious manifestations of tbo
revolutionary spirit of labor abroad were
seen in Italy and Helghim , and lit the
former tlio explanation is to bo
found in the crushing burden
of taxation to which the people
are subjected , while in the latter It Is
the expression chlolly of a demand for
enlarged political privileges. 1'erhaps
no where else In
Kuropo is the average
condition of the working elat-sos quite
so bad as In Italy , and it is not very
much bolter In Belgium , though the
prossuioof taxation in the latter country
is not quite so severe as In the former.
I'or several years labor has been agitat
ing for political repro.seiitation In Hoi-
glum , and It has been given reason to ox-
pee t that sooner or later this would
1)0 accorded to it , but the government
has ( Irmly held out against thu demand.
The strikes which have boon Inaugu
rated have moro reference to tilts ques
tion than to any other , and tliere are
many who believe that the f.tte of the
government depends uixm their result.
In Germany the disposition of the gov
ernment to favor the deimvuds of labor
has had a great deal to do with prevent
ing any hostile demonstrations there ,
while In England the appointment of
I1 royal commission to Investigate the con
dltlon of labor has had a paeltlcatory In
fluence , but generally European labor
la greatly discontented and very little
additional oppression would bo necessary
to Ij''Ho It to revolution.

The year or two of misfortune to
fnrnii-rc In NobrawUu must not lead tlipui
or the < ii ! who luivo recently come to the
slate to tlio conclusion that NouriiMku
soil Is IC.SM productive than that of othftr
stains of the union. The fact Is Nob-
riiHka stjintlH In the head of most of the
agricultural slulort in the average yield
per acre of most cereals.
An "album of agricultural graphics , "
published by the agricultural depart
ment , HIO\VM | \ the average yield of the
HDVural principal agricultural products
for the 10 yours beginning with
IKSO. From this It appears
that Nobraslia IH the first In
the union on corn with an
average of 'tti.8 bushels ( tor acre.
Illinois shows nn nvorago of but U0.7 ,
Iowa : ) . , Missouri U" . I , and Kansas
IM.o. The average for the union is IM
biHhuls per acre.
The wheat Helds of Nebraska are less
prodiK'llvo than those of all these states
except Iowa , ami the average. Is 11.1
bushels nor acre. In Iowa It Is 10.0 ;
he avorngo for the union Is 112 bushels.
Oats yields 1.11.1 bushels to the aero hi
IvobniHka , 18 ! In Kansas , ! lli.l ! in Iowa ,
11.12 in Illinois , ami 120 In Missouri , the
.verago for all the statoi being - < I.J (
iii hfls per acre.
Kyn Is not grown much In this state ,
nit Iho average yield for the 10 years
was lll.H bushels as against 112.9 in Iowa ,
mil 1 l.i ! for the union.
Ilarley yields ! ! > . ( > bushels per acre in
Nt-bnihlui , 18.1) ) In Kansas , 121.8 in Iowa ,
mil 120.a In Missouri , the general aver-
igo being 121.7.
ThcMJ nvoragos are taken during a
wrlod when Nebraska was very rapidly
ncreii.sliig her acreage , and , therefore ,
they are made up from the results upon
mw ground. Yet in spite of those din-
iidvanlagus the llgure.s prove the state
to ho superior to all in the average yield
per acre of corn , above the average for
Iho union of twin and well in the lead of
that of barley. The fact Is that Ne
braska is the moot productlvo agricul
tural state in the union , and the present
decade will establish her supremacy. It
will lie the llrst 10 years in which a
reasonable test can lie made. The in
dividual who leaves Nebraska expecting
to llml n bettor farming country will bo
disnppolnlcd. Taking Ituiii' . after year
for a long period tills slate maintains an
average excellence unequalled by any
other in llio union.
\Vook after week the published clear
ing house reports for Omaha show a
well nigh uniform decrease of from 120
to ' ! . ' ! per cent as compared with the
clearings of 181)0. ) Thuco figures are
misleading and liable to create a dam
aging impression abroad. The uni
formity of the weekly decline alTords
circumstantial proof that Iho basis of
comparison Is not the Hiinu this year as
last. Tlio fact is that the reported
clearings represent only from 7. ) to 8.5
per cent of tlio volume of business , by
reason of the withdrawal from the asso
elation of the clearings of several banks
In Omaha ami South Omaha.
Those banks are barret ! out of the
clearing house association by reason of
the rule prohibiting Its members from
paying moro than 12 per cent upon bal
anccs of country correspondents. Their
busine.ss this year Is reported to bo
larger than last and their clearings
ought to be added to the weekly aggregate -
gate for the city , to show correctly the
condition of business at this time as
compared with the corresponding period
of the preceding year , when their busi
ness was included in the totals.
The average citi/.en is entirely Indif
ferent as to the merits of the contro
versy between the bankers. lie Is will
ing they should settle among themselves
whether they will pay 2 percenter
per cent upon balances of country corres
pondents , but ho is vitally Interested
in the effects
of misleading ant
Incorrect reports noon the business rep
utation of the city. Clearing houses
in Konio other cities do not pretend to
control the rates of iatorost paid and re-
col veil on funds handled by mombors. It
is an arbitrary regulation and to the
ordinary business man looks no moro
reasonable than to refuse to cash checks
drawn upon a bank paying 0 per cant on
time deposits because the ruling rate is
1 or f > per cent. The banks who are re
fused membership of tlio clearing house
association sull'er little if any incon-
voncionce by reason of this ruling , hut
Omaha is seriously liiju-oil and her cltl-
/.ons have a right to insist either that
the clearings shall not bo rpported at all
or that they shall include- the entire
volume of the banking business of the
fity.
J..KST XUTK.
The last communication of the Italian
premier , Marquis Uudini , in relation to
the matter in controversy between the
governments of Italy and the United
States , was not addressed to Secretary
Hlalue. It was sent exclusively to the
representative of the Italian government
In Washington , and consequently our
government will take no olllcial notice
of it. According to the reported opinion
at the slate department the note does
not change the situation either for the
better or WOI-MJ , and its terms seem to
justify Iho view that II was Intended en
tirely for domestic consumption and to
induce the Italian people to believe that
their government is pursuing a vigorous
policy , while avoiding anything that
eould cause resentment on the part of
the United States.
As a diplomatic etTort the dispatch is
certainly clover. It adheres to the
original position of the Italian govern
ment that the government of the United
States is responsible for the violation of
treaty obligations , but Kudlnl appears
to have concluded that insistence
upon this proposition is useless ,
and that nothing remains to
be said except to submit the
Usuo to the judgment of the world.
Thus ho says : "It is time to break olT
this bootless controversy. Public opin
ion , the sovereign judge , will know
how to indicate an equitable solution of
this grave problem. " It Is not alto
gether clear whether this is meant It ) bo
a surrender of the
whole question , or
simply that Italy declines to continue
the discussion and will act further
according as public opinion may direct.
It very likely meaiid that the
Italian government , having Uls
cove rod that the government
of the United Htulea can glvo
no moro protection to the subjects of
foreign powers resident here than tojts
own citizens , Is satisfied to leave It to
other nation * to llnd an equitable sola-
lion either by a rearrangement of
treaties or by forcible procoss. In this
particular the note of Marquis Hudlni Is
somewhat vaguu and ambiguous , but on
Iho whole It will perhaps satisfy the
Italian people that their government Is
In the right of the conlrovorsy and will
still insist upon Its tlemaiidu.
It Is undor.stood that Secretary Mlalnu
will submit to the Italian government
the lusult of the investigation by the
United States district attorney at Now
Orleans regarding the nationality and
character of the dead Italians , mid It Irf
quite probable that this will tormluato
Iho correspondence. If 11 shall bo found
that any of the men killed were not cit-
Ixons of the United Stales , Iho govern
ment will undoubtedly glvo such assur
ance as It may properly olTor regarding
Indemnllv. roirarilloits of what may bo
shown as to the character of thu men ,
nnd any reasonable demand will
loubtless bo mot by congress.
I'lio indications are , therefore ,
that the Italian eontrovoivy is praeli-
ally at , an oml , and that at any rate
there Is no dang-er of a serious rupture
if the friendly relations between the
wo countries , it has contributed a
great tlcul It ) public unliglitetiment both
it home and abroad regarding the , rela
tions of the federal ami Htato govern
ments , and has given a rather bettor op
portunity than was over before pre
sented for a strong and clear enunoia-
' .ion of our governmental system anil
policy.

The slate of Pennsylvania lists boon
invaded by a largo force of Pinkcrton
mercenaries. The dispatches stale that
as soon as tbo iiiilltia was withdrawn
from the coke region , where a strike is
in progrc-s , the operators called upon
the Piiikcrtoii detective agency for moil
to protect their properly , and an armed
force has been sent there ostensibly for
this purpose. This band of janissaries ,
recruited from the idle and reck
less clai-ses of the cities , arc
provided with revolvers and an
abundant supply of ammunition ,
anil they have gi > tto into the coke
country fully prepared to do deadly
work if they encounter the slightest
resistance. The large majority of thorn
are without any tioii.su of ronponniblity
and have very little respect for law. If
thu fact of their presence is not sulllcient
to arouse toward them the hostility of
the people they may be expected to pro
voke the popular antagonism. This ban
been the usual course of the Pinkerton
bands heretofore and tliere is no reason
to suppose that thu force sent into
Pennsylvania will not repeat
the almost uniform practice. It is
safe to predict that there will bo more
bloodshed in the coke region in consequence -
quenco of the appearance there of the
Pinkerton hirelings.
The violence that has been committed
by the coke strikers cannot bo justified.
However meritorious the light they are
making to maintain wages and protect
their interests , there is no extenuation
for the lawlessness they have boon guilty
of. Uut the duty of maintaining peace
and order , and of protecting life and
property" is with the constituted
authorities of the state , and they
should neither delegate it toner
nor nermit it to bo exor
cised by any others. The men who have
gone into the eoko regions from Now
York and elsewhere under the instruc
tions and control of a detective bureau
are not the agents whom the people of
Pennsylvania have authori/.ed to enforce
force the laws of that state or to see that
they are not violated. They have no
legal status there as conservators of the
peace or as defenders of the law. They
are to all intents and inirnoscH iinner
Invaders , and if the authorities
do their duty they will disarm
every man of them and compel
thorn to desist from any attempt
to usurp prerogatives which shoilld bo
exorcised only by thot > whom the people
of Pennsylvania have charged with up
holding and enforcing the laws.
There is a nearly universal public sen
timent against allowing thu employment
of this class of mercenaries , but it makes
slow progress in securing legislation
prohibiting their employment. The
evils of such a system have been amply
demonstrated , ami the danger In per
mitting it to continue and grow ought
to bo obvious to all intelligent men.
The fact that It Is possible for a prl-
vtil. > inmIl.ntion in r ni'iiit. nt. nnv t.itmt it
force of men , arm them and send them
to any part of the country to perform
police service , is a menace to tlio rights
and liberties of the people to which pub
lic attention cannot bo too vigorously
directed. The machinery of govern
ment , state and national , is ample for
meeting every demand for the protec
tion of life and property , and no such
aid to the enforcement of law as the
Pinkerton system is anywhere neces
sary in this country.
Sorril DAKOTA'S legislature refused
to make an appropriation for the world's
fair , but her enterprising people will
nevertheless participate and several
plans are now being considered for rais
ing $100,1100 for the purpo.se. This reminds -
minds TIIK UKK that the small sum of
$ .r)0,000 appropriated by Nebraska ought
to be supplemented by individual sub
scriptions enough to make at least $ l.r 0- ,
000 if this stale alms to be seen to any
advantage by visitors at the fair.
Now that the board of education has
dispensed with the services of Mr.
Woolloy as superintendent of buildings ,
It Is in order to say again that $1SOO per
annum Is too much to pay a general link-
ore r or head janitor. This is compen
sation sulllcient to secure thu service of
a thoroughly competent builder and
experienced huporintoiulont of construc
tion.

reason why a monopoly should be glvon
to anybody or any sot of men fur hauling
away garbage , cleaning cesspools or
hauling Head animals. All the health
board should insist upon Is that all refuse
matter shall bo promptly carted away lethe
the dumping stations.
Till- : question is not whether an olllcor
who has quail lied can bo removed by no
tion of the council , but whothur or not a
motion made and carried to conllrm a
loiiilniitlon by the mayor can afterward
bo reconsidered. This is the point In

Another Jtiimnr About the Union
Depot Kail Xolos.
A gentleman who is well posted In railway
affairs made the prediction a few days ago
that the agreement between the Union Pacific
and the D. & M.whereby , both should occupy
the saino depot , would Do abrogated nnd the
proposed union depot completed by the Union
Pacific and Ubed by that company alone. Ho
based this prediction on the fact that since
both roads have used the present make-shift
for a depot the H. & AI. bos cut into the busi
ness of tlio Union Pacific In an alarming man
ner. In fact , accordingto the statement of
this gentleman , at all competitive points the
former lias gained the advantage of the lat
ter , with the result that the earnings of the
Union Pnutlo on passenger trafllc have de
creased about $10,01X1 per month.
This state of affairs , It is stated , Is the di
rect result of tlio joint occupancy of thodtpot
by these two roads and will , tho'roforo , result
In a change in the situation when the fact be
comes known to the eastern contingent.
