I : Immigration into Canada is
to bo allowed to continue with no other
restriction than the par capita tax of
f50. The labor interests of the Dominion
want legislation that will put a btop to
this immigration , but in view of the fact
that Canada is endeavoring to increase
lior trndo with China Sir John Mac
Donald declined to consider any pro
posal for such legislation. By way o
placating the labor element , the premier
stated that nearly every Chinaman now
arriving in Canada made his waj
across the border Into tlio United
States , and therefore the Domlnioi
Buffered nothing from Chlncso iinmigra
tlon. It Is to bo presumed that Sir Join
MacDonald did not mnko this statement
without knowledge , and if it is a met
that the law of the United States e.x
eluding the Chlnoso Is bolnir thwarted
in thin way the matter should bo inves
tigated. It Is probable , however , that

istration of affairs continues in the

According to information furnished
the treasury department alien labor
under contract has boon rather freely
inportcd Into the country recently. A
few days ago the superintendent of 1m-
nlgration at Now Yorlc detained ft
lumber of Austrian Immigrants who had
entered Into a contract to work in
Chicago , and ( lie dispatches state that
roil puddlors , glass cutters , glove
linkers and minors have arrived in the
country within a short time
liaving labor engagements en-
.ored Into before their departure
Vein Kuropo. All this is In
wilpablo violation of the law prohibiting
.ho Importation of alien labor under
contract , the terms of which are clear
and explicit. Tlu fact that the passages
of the persons detained was paid by
igenls of the companies importing them
s also a violation of the act relating to
mmlgration pasted by the last congress
The superintendent of immigration
imposes to ascertain whether the alien
abor law can bo enforced by instituting
iroccedliiL'H in the courts against the
companies which have imported foreign
workmen. The penalties for a violation
of the law are a line not exceeding $1,000
or imprisonment not exceeding one
year , or both. The duty of the treasury
authorities Is obviously to proceed
igainst the violators of the law
promptly and vigorously , and if sus
tained by the courts , as it is not doubted
they will bo , to put into force whatever
measures are necessary to the full and
effective enforcement of the law. The
alien labor law of 1SS5 was faulty in
some respects , and these defects wore
removed by the now immigration act ,
IMIt the principle of the law Is sound ,
and has the support of all Intelligent
men outsldo of the corporations
which would like to liavo the privilege
of freely importing alien labor in order
to bo able to dictate whatever conditions
they please to American labor. The
demand for the alien labor law grow out
of the way in which corporations were
bringing armies of foreign laborers into
the United States undorcontractto work
for vnry much loss than the price of
labor in this country , and building up
hero a syhtein of white servitude more
cruel and oppressive than negro bin very
over was. Tlio mining districts of Penn
sylvania and Ohio wore tilled
with this class of labor , and
it was largely employed in the iron
mills of these and other states. Agents
of the corporations wore kept in Europe
to induce people to enter into contracts
to come to this country , and labor con
tingents wore always ready there to bo
sent over whenever thn corporations re
quired their services by reason of the
discontent of their employes or their
determination to adopt a policy which
they expected to produce disturbance.
Consequently there was steadily pourIng -
Ing into the country a Hood of the cheap
est foreign laboi1 , demoralizing the
home market and adding to the popula
tion an unwelcome element which
has from time to time made itself
very troublesome , not always without
justification. The corporations wore
merciless when they had their victims
lirmly in their grasp.
The dangerous proportions attained
by this system demanded restrictive
legislation , andthcactof 1881 was passed
with very cronoral public approval. The
importation of alien labor was checked ,
but the law has never boon enforced as
it was intended to bo , and undoubtedly
many thousands of allen laborers have
boon brought Into the country under
contract since its passage. The present
administration is determined to enforce
the law It It is sustained by the courts ,
and it will have the approval of the coun
try in doing so.
Ol'll FOHRiatf COMl'KTITORS.
It is presumed that no tidvocato of
reciprocity has imagined that the United
Slates would bo allowed to go on making
closer trade relations with the other
American countries without being con
fronted by a vigorous opposition and
competition from the European nations
having u large commerce with these
countries. It has been obvious to these
who have given this subject careful con
sideration that this would bo tho'most
serious dilllculty to bo overcome. What
ever concessions European governments
may bo willing to make to the
political policy of the United
States with respect to the
nations of this hemisphere , as defined in
what is known as the Monroe doctrine ,
they nro not disposed to surrrondor any
of their commercial advantages. These
they will make a most vigorous and per
sistent contest to retain , and the strong
foothold they have gives them a posi
tion from whloli they will not bo easily
driven. It is well to understand , there
fore , that while the reciprocity policy
lias thus far mot with suc
cess so far as arrangements perfected
and promised are concerned , the signing
and rutlllcntion of agreements does not
necessarily Insure us ' the trade ,
nor can wo bo , certain of the
permanence of such arrangements.
This should cause no hesitation in push
ing the policy , but consideration of it
must tend to modify the moro sanguine
views as to immediateresults. . The full
fruits of reciprocity we cannot reasona
bly expect to gather at once.
Some time ago it was reported that
Franco propo > od to ask Brazil to enter
Into trade arrangements similar to these
made with the United States. It is
highly probable she will do this , If she
has not already done so. But
a far moro significant move has
boon made by the British gov
ernment. According to n recent dis
patch Lord Salisbury Has directed the
commercial department of the foreign
olllco to make a study of the new com
mercial treaty between Brazil and the
United States , evidently with a view to
asking Brazil to grant equally favorable
terms to Great Britain. It appears that
the cotton manufacturers of England ,
whoso trade with Bra/.H amounts to over
$12,000,000 annually , and who have a
largo representation in parliament , are
alarmed at the arrangement for admit
ting American cotton goods into Brazil
nt rates of duty 2o per cent loss than are
imposed upon similar goods manufac
tured In Grout Britain , whlloothor Brit
ish manufacturers are no less concerned
about the discrimination which the now
arrangement makes in favor of Ameri
can articles. There Is an annti.il tr.ulo
of moro than SiO,000,000 ; nt stake , and
such Influential mon 119 Joseph Cham
berlain and Lord Hartlngton are de
manding of the government some action
to protect It , It need hardly bo said
that the government is most willing to
accede to tlio demand , and it can bring
a tremendous pressure to boar in the in
terests of this valuable commerce , Ger
many also has largo Interests in
Brazil and other South Ameri
can countries to protect , and maybe
bo expected to sooner or later
make a demand that they shall bo given
equally favorable consideration with the
interests of other countries. Meanwhile
It Is well known that the European
financial and commercial houses repre
sented or interested in Brazil are ex
ceedingly active in their efforts to create
hostility to the reciprocity arrange
ment with the United Status.
Those are the formldiiblb forces ar
rayed against the American scheme of
reciprocity which must bo considered In
weighing tlio chances of the permanent
success of that policy. It is not dllli-
cult to understand that with
the advantages they now have
by reason of their strong linancial and
commercial foothold in South America.
Wore they to unite in demanding trade
conditions ns favorable as these granted
to tlio United States they could bring to
bear an Influence which might prove
irresistible.

Mr. Frank Morriosoy's Interest in the
well-being and prosperity of this city
will almost entitle him to rank among
great benefactors. lie comes before the
council now with several ordinances
drawn by hlmsoll , for himself , and wants
thorn to bo passed forthwith. Mr. Morrissey -
rissoy says ho is convinced that the
right thing to do about the garbage
business just now is to create a salaried
olllce , which of course means an otllco for
Morrissey , and lot the city levy a
tax of live cents n load on all gar
bage , which ho estimates will yield u
revenue of $8,000 a your.
This is very suggestive. When Morrissey
rissoy was garbagomastor the charge
was SI a load for cesspools and 25 per
cent , of the cost of hauling for ashes ,
garbage atid manure and $2 per head
for dead animals. The whole income
wont into the pockets of Morrissey and
such silent partners as wore backing
him in this lucrative business. To use
n mathematical term if live cents a load
will bo equal to 88,000 ti year ,
how much did the old rates
yield at the figures above montloncu ?
Now what is the use of having any sal
aried olllcorV Why not lot the chief of
police detail ono or two patrolmen to in
spect alloys and premises and compel
proper cleanliness by the olllcors that
can make arrests and bring offenders before
fore the proper tribunal:1 : Under such
an arrangement the collection and haulIng -
Ing of till garbage and refuse would bo
open to competition , and if it is desira
ble to confine this work to n dozen mon
lot them bo licensed and compote with
each other.
TllOWILED WITH A SVRVLVS.
Whenever there is any money in the
city treasury in any ono of the funds
there is nn itching disposition to provide
a scheme to do away with it. The 818-
000 surplus in the city lighting fund has
become n hourco of great anxiety for
moro light in certain quarters.
It is now proposed to spend this sur
plus for gasoline , gas or electric lights
and proposals are invited. As u matter
of fact the proposals are n moro sham.
The surplus is to bo distributed so as to
yield the largest revenue to the
electric lighting concern. Tlio
question naturally presents itself why
the city should pay the same price for
additional electric lamps that it is now
paying for the first plant ?
Wo are now p lying $175 a year per
arc lamp when Lincoln only pays $120
per lamp. Why can't lamps bo furn
ished as cheap in Omaha as in
Lincoln ? Wo are paying for 2,000-
candle-powcr lamps , but that also Is n
delusion and a snare. The so-called
2,000-candle-powor lamps only range
from 800 to 1,200 candle-power , and
while the light they give is sulliolont
there is no reason why Omaha should bo
taxed moro than other towns similarly
situated , unless It Is because the pliant
councilmen that are always ready to do
the bidding of the electric lighting
monopoly , have to bo subsidized.
Junon DUNDY will rccolvo and merit
the thanks of the citizens of Dawcs
county and the ontlro frontier for his
leniency toward the settlers arraigned
before him upon the charge of violating
the United States timber laws. Tech
nically there Is very little doubt of the
guilt of some or all tlu parties arrested ,
They cut timber from government land
and sold it for profit. The circumstances
of the settlers , however , are a sufliciont
palliation of the olTenso. The crops had
failed and destitution stared thorn in the
face. Their only resource was the scraggy
cedars upon Uncle Sum's Bandy domain
In the hills and canons. By hard work
a load of this timber could be cut nnd
hauled to market in two days. With the
proceeds food and clothing wore purchased -
chased for families who might other
wise have suffered from want. The
deputy marshals unquestionably did
their duty in making these arrests.
They will bo rewarded with fees nnd mileage -
ago , but when the cases wore called and
the facts cited the tender hearted judge
and the fair minded district attorney
agreed that the majesty of the law re
quired neither u costly trial nor a severe -
voro sentence , and many of the cases
has'o been dismissed. The poor fron
tiersmen are put to great Incoiivenlonca
nnd loss by tholr arrest , but It is worth
something to them to bo vindicated and
to learn that a United States court is
neither a cost mill nor a stern , unrelent
ing Institution for the punishment of
technical violations of the statutes.

that activity in fhpilo of lown lots and
aero property 1m the gauge by which
prosperity Is to bolnoasurcd , it will take
the first long stop toward establishing a
place for itself in the confidence of the
business eommun .
Tin : council has very properly de
cided to submit tli6 quostlon of issuing
additional publl4 improvement bonds nt
a special clcctlcnin to bo held within
thirty days. The only thing to bo
guarded uenlnst Is that the proposed
sewers shall bo where they are actually
needed for draining n largo ' ; cctlon of
the city already populated and not for
draining acreage property owned by
speculators who expect to improve It at
the expense of the city. The proposi
tion on sewers should dolino clearly
where the sewers are to bo built.
Tin : members of the State Business
Men's association who nro now in the
city bring encouraging reports of the
future in their several localities. Good
crops and good prices are till that Nebraska -
braska needs to lift her people out of the
sloughs to the macadamized road of as
sured and continuing prosperity.
Tin ; board of lire and police commis
sioners applied tlio pruning knife to the
police force ruthlessly. It is to bo hoped
the force will bo rendered moro clllclcnt
by their action. Omaha pays for first-
class men and is entitled to tlio best
class of nerve , physical strength and In
dustry the city can procure.

After disposing of reports nnd other rou
tine business n proposed division of church
funds spranir n discussion that was lively und
Interesting. The brethren called cacti to order
sharply mid inado some cutting comments on
each other. In order to relieve the bishop of
the dloccso of Nebraska of some of the bur
den of his position , the west part of the state
was soloff and designated ns the missionary
Jurisdiction oi the Platto. The now dloceso
kept all the fluids which belonged to the old
dloceso , nnd now the Pl.itto Juris
diction presents a memorial ask
ing for a sliaro of these funds.
Uov. Williams of Omaha moved the appoint
ment of a co'nmlttco to consider the memor
ial and report tomorrow what Iho council
could nnd should do. Ho did not know that
ho would favor the proposed division , but ho
wanted the memorial to receive a courteous
consideration and answer.
Mr. Curler moved as a substitute that J.
M. Woohvorth , J. E. Smith. 11. J. Walsh ,
Joseph Barker. Henry W. Yates and 13. P.
Hopkins , with Bishop Worthinirton as chair
man , boa committee to investigate the mat
ter thoroughly and report at the next coun
cil , a year hence. Ho at ilrst named Judge
Poppteton on the committee , when the bishop
remarked ;
"I wish you would not mention Mr. Pop-
plotou. Ho hasn't enough Interest in iho
church to attend services. "
An effort to put two clergymen on the com-
mlttco was defeated. A partial compromise
was effected by directing the secretary to
send a courteous statement of the council's
action to the Platte Jurisdiction and then Mr.
Carter's motion was auoptoo.
The council tomorrow afternoon will lay
tlio corner stone of Trinity hull , the new
Episcopal college for boys.

Attornov General Hastings , who has Just
returned from the south , ventures the opin
ion that the alliance will not nominate a
presidential ticket next vear.
"While at Hot Sprins , Arlr. , I tnot many
men from various parts of the south , and
they wore unanimous in saying that in
national affairs tlio members of the alliance ,
In common with all other whiten in the
south , had nothing to hope for outsldo of the
democratic party. The great question In the
south is one of color. Those men said thov
had succeed once in suppressing the negro
power In pclltlcs , and they did not care to do
the Job over ngaln. They wore all of the
opinion that the members ot the nillanco In
the south will stick to the democratic party
In a national election. "

Hov. W. T. Harsha of the First Presby
terian church , preached last night to a fair
shea audience nt the First Methodist church ,
taking n text from tlio twonty-tlfth chapter
of Mathew , wnich relates a parable about
the man who divided his fortune amongst his
three servants and went Into a fur country.
When ho returned ho found that the
ono to whom lie had given live talents had
done well as also the servant to whom hu
guvo three talents hud done , but the ono to
whom ho gave but one talent proved to bo a
slothful , worthless fellow and hud buried the
ono talent in the ground.
Dr. Harshn applied the text to the natural
ability of professing Christians and drew out
some very valuable conclusions with lornrd
to duty. Ho congratulated the Methodist
