In vloxv of the very great intoroa
manifested in Helena and Montana goti
orally over the proposed railway con
noctlon between Omnha nnd the "rich
out city In the world , " TUB BIK : feel
that It should insist that the oxcursloi
bo not delayed beyond the month o
August , If the bUHiiiesR men who ante
to participate xvalt until October , th
xvorking ooason will bo passed entirely
nnd nothing can bo done toxvard tin
consummation of our mutual hopes mill
nuxt year. If the joint mooting Is holi
in August it is possible the rallxva ;
companies can bo aroused t <
early action , and they cai
at least bo committed to the building o
a line before snow fulls , oven if xx-ork tenet
not actually boi/un this year.
The folloxrlng paragraph from tin
Helena Iwlepcmlmt illustrates the tutor
est Inkon in this Important matter at tin
other end of the line :
The merchants of Omnha have nccoptoi

the capital of Montana and the commercla
metropolis of Nobrnska.
Tlio very midden determination of the
board of trade to postpone the trip foi
the present will bo a serious disappoint'
mont to our Helena friends. The reason
given is of course plausible , but hardlj
sulllciont to xvnrrnnt the action taken.
A small delegation of active business
men would accomplish as much as n

Senator Sherman is quoted as saying
that if elected to the United States sen
ate ho will accept the trust. This is in
effect nn announcement that ho is a can
didate for re-election. At the same time
ho status that ho does not propose to
scramble for the position , and it may bo
observed just here that if the next legis
lature of Ohio is republican ho should
not have to do any scrambling. The
inference from the reported talk at Cin
cinnati of Senator Sherman is that ho
has not tired of serving the people of
his state and of the country and if
his constituents dcslro to continue
him In that service ho xvill bo found
ready to accept the trust and give to it
the same conscientious care and atten
tion that ho has done for a generation.
Lhit ho is not going into any fight for it.
Ho xvill do his best to sccuro republican
victory , and no man in Ohio or else
xvhoro can do more , and if that is at
tained ho xvill leave the question of ro-
xvard to the pleasure of the mon whoso
privilege it xvill bo to cheese his succcs-
bor.
bor.This
This announcement of Senator Sher
man xvill give added interest to the
Ohio campaign. It xvlll place him
in a position In the contest
of equal prominence xvith Major McKin
loy. The quchtion of returning Sher
man to the sennto will occupy as largo a
share of the attention of the republicans
as the issues of the tariff and the free
coinage of silvor. The figure of the dis
tinguished statesman , xvho stands in the
front rank of these xvho have made Ohio
illustrious In the nation's history , xvill
loom up through every stage of the con
flict , exerting an influence that no other
man is uapablo of.
If the republicans soouro the next leg
islature there ought to bo no doubt re
garding the ro-oloction of Senator
Sherman , and probably xvill not bo. So
far as appears ox-Governor Forakor xvill
not make any light against the senator ,
and there is no oilier aspirant , or at
least none worthy of consideration. It
is hardly conceivable that as botxveon
Sherman and Forakor an Ohio republi
can legislature could prefer the latter.
KKT vRoims IN MAXiW
The Massachusetts bureau of statis
tics of labor has just issued a volume
showing the net profits in manufactur
ing industries of that stato. The statis
tics are for 01 industries covering 10,011 !
establishments and representing 09.21
per cent of the total value of products
manufactured annually in the sl.ito.
Considerably more than half the estab
lishments in the state did not report as
to not profits , ' and of these that did
report i,2ol ) xvoro malting a profit
and 702 reported that they wore not
making a profit. To state it in another
form , the xvholo number of Industries
in Massachusetts is stated to bo 23Ml ,
and there xx'ns 57.27 per cent that did
not report. 39.48 percent that made a
profit , and 3.2i pur cent that did not
make a profit. The returns are loss
instructive than xvould bo the case if a
larger number of establishments had
reported , but from the presentation
inudo it may bo assumed that six per
cent at least of the industries of Ma su-
chusoUs do not pay a not profit. Of the
establishments reported the capital in
vested in these making a profit amounts ,
in round numbers to. $300,000,000
and the capital In these not
making a profit to $70,000,000 , being
together a little more than throe-quar
ters of the whole amount invested in all
industries. Thus the ascertained facts
show that 81.22 per cent of the capital
invested In manufacturing industries in
Massachusetts paid a profit and 18.78 per
cent did not pay a profit.
The value of the products of all the
manufacturing industries of Massachu
setts during the year co\ored by this re
port , 1890 , xx-as in round numbers $071-
000,000 , and of this amount $11-1,000,000
worth was sold at u profit and $52,000-
000 xvorth eold at prices that did not ul-
loxv a profit. The value of the products
of establishments not reporting
as to profits was $207,000,000. With re
gard to the cost of production it is
shown that n Massachusetts manufac
turer , on the average for each 9100
xvorth of completed product ( ready for
sale but excluding profit ) , expends 807.07
for stock , ( Including raw or manufac
tured materials ) , 31.98 for salaries ,
$25,05 for wages , 85 cents for rent , 01
cents for taxes , 38 cents for insurance ,
81.-1G for freight , 23 cents for noxv equip
ment , 03 cents for repairs , and 15 cents
for ether expenses , these items
$100 or 100 per
cent if the ttoni3 are con
sidered ns percentages Instead of dollars
nnd cents. As the result of three years
of mathematical calculation It is found
that the Massachusetts manufacturer ,
on the average , has an excess of soiling
prlcu above cost of production amount
ing to $12.93 In each $100 worth of man
ufactured product. Of this excess ho
required , on thoavorngo , $2.15 for Inter
est , 81.90 for depreciation on machinery ,
implements and toolu , and $5.00 for soil
ing expenses and to mnko up for losses
by bad debts. After thoao amounts
are deducted lie has remaining ,
as nut profit , $ , ' 1.90 , xvhich is equivalent
to 1.83 per cent on the amount of capital
invested , or an annual return of $1.83
upon each 9100 of invested capital.
It Is possible that the manufacturing
industries of Massachusetts do not fur
nish the best basis for judging of the not
profits of the industries of ether states.
Tlio Iron Industry in that st'ito , ospo-
clally , has boon very much depressed for
Hoveral years , and this lias had , undoubt
edly , more or loss effect In determining
the average not profit. Other causes
not present in ether states may have had
a lilto olToct. At any rate the shoxvlng
warrants the opinion that the manufac
turing industries of the country are not
as a xvholo so greatly prosperous as Is
commonly supposed , but are yielding
only a fair return on the capital Invested.
TIIK compilation presented olsoxvhoro
of the statements made by the national
banlcs of Omaha to the comptroller of
the currency , shoxving their condition
July 0 , presents n very satisfactory ox-
hlbit. It bears evidence in the growth
of deposits to a reaction from the busi
ness depression which prevailed for sov-
onil months , and in other respects it
snowb that an improvement in condi
tions has boon taking placo. The banks
are stronger than they xvoro last Decem
ber , and in the present circumstances
there is the assurance th.it tlioir
condition xvlll continue to im-
provo. The prosperity of the
country tributary to Omaha which great
crops make certain xvill bo rollocted
from thi time forxvard in the business
of the banks of this city , and undoubt
edly tlioir next statement will show a
greater improvement than the present
ono does over the preceding statement.
The Omaha banks have as good stand
ing at Washington as any in the coun
try , and the fuel that they are managed
on conservative and HOUIH ! business
principles is rocogni/.cd everywhere.
A MKKTIN'O of grain dealers and pro
ducers is c.illed for July 2i ) , at Lincoln ,
by the secretaries of the state board of

cdent to the enforcement of the xvaro-

consequence at the meeting is the ques
tion of rules for grading Nebraska
gra'ns. The slate board of transporta
tion is charged xvith the duty of enforcing
the laxv xvhioh goes into olTecl August 1.
It is desirable thai there should bo an
interchange of ideas upon the subject in
order that the benefits of this useful laxv
may bo realized as early as possible. A
good attendance of representative men
xvill help greatly to put the machinery
into motion
SicvmtAi , of the speakers nt the labor
meeting are honest xvorkingmen and
others are professional ugitators. The
mooting itself xvas respectable in num
bers and character. It is evident that
the eight-hour laxv is favored by organ
ized labor in dull asvoll as flush times.
ONLY a week nnd a day until the
mcoling of Iho executive comimltoo of

tee , at xvhich time Omaha musl make

Tun man xvith the patent smoke con
sumer rushed his experiment through
the council xvith little difficulty , but Iho

Tins eight-hour laxv goes into offcct

no bettor reason than that it is a statute
regularly passed and its constitutional
ity has not boon Impeached.
Tun honorable secretary of the

In reply to these Interested persons xvho

sextuple telegraphic apparatus , which , al
though invented in America , has never boon
used there , nnd secondly , the Baudot printIng -
Ing telegraphic apparatus used in Franco ,
xvhich ho considers far superior to anything

In a very practical manner Mr. Rosoxvatcr
points out that the government , xvith tbo

naturally carry telograpllio service into dis

With that money they paid on * vari
ous liabilities of the llrm , without K rug's

the obligation.

Some Baking Powders
Lose Their Strength
Quickly.
For twenty-five years the Royal Baking Powder
Company has refused to be controlled by the mania of
its competitors to produce a cheap baking powder at
the sacrifice of quality or wholesotncness.
* Some lower-cost brands arc now being pushed oh' '
the market which , from being made of inferior materials , '
lose their strength quickly after the can is once opened.
At the second or third baking there will be noticed a
falling off in strength.
There is given in the United States Government repoit of baking
powder tests Uie cabe of a sample which" , tested xvhen fres.li , gave an
average of 12 per cent , of leavening gas. The same sample , tested a
fexv days after being opened , had lost one-third of its strength. A sub
sequent test showed it to contain but S4 per cent. , or but three-fifths
of its original leavening gas.
Royal Baking Powder will not deteriorate. It will
retain its strength until used. No other baking powder
will. Government Chemist Mott states that the Royal
is superior to other brands because of the perfectly pure
cream of tartar used in it , and because of the method of its
preparation and the proper proportion of its ingredients.
It is always the case that the consumer suffers in
pocket , if not in health , by accepting any substitute for
the Royal Baking Powder , especially when the substi
tute is offered on the ground that it is cheaper.
The Royal Baking Powder is the embodiment of all
the excellence that it is possible to attain in an abso
lutely pure powder. It is always strictly reliable. It is
not only more economical but will make more whole- !
r i o '

An American Unturned to Ktiglntul an
an Olijdotlonnltlo Immigrant.
NKXV YOUK , July 81 , Fotirntownways ar
rived here on the National line steamer on
July 1U. Their podlgreos xvoro taken nt the
barge ofllco and they xvoro ordered soul back
to England as prohibited Immigrant/1. ThrooAf
said they xvoro Englishmen. The ether , ir
slim , bluo-oyod young folloxv xvith n decided
American nccont , declared , In an nflldavlt ,
that ho xvas Frank Sherman , born In Mil-
xvauuco nlnotocti years ago. Ho said ho had
nn undo , Albert ICIrohner , living nt 777
NortU- Wood street , Chicago , xvhoro his
xvldowed mother , also a nnllvo American , re
sided. Ills declaration had no effect on ( Jon-
oral O'HIornc , the assistant superintendent
of Immigration , who decided to send him -j > -
bnck xvith the others. They xvoro all put
under guard In the xvhoolhouso of the Eng
land , as theft' escape meant a line of $100 for
the National Iluo. The xvhcolhouso Is ono of
the hottest and shiftiest places on thn ship.
Sherman's story xvas unknown until yes
terday to the reporters. It xvns revealed
through John Joyce , a storekeeper on the
National line pier , lloxrnsnnthe ship on
Saturday and passed the XThcolliotno. Sher
man called to him ; "can you got mo some
paper and n stnmpl"
Joyce nsitod Shormnn xvbat ho wanted to
do xvith them and Sherman snld : "I xvant to
write n letter to my niothor In Chicago so she
xvlll gut somebody to prevent thorn from semi-
ing mo back to England. I urn mi American
cltl/on. "
Joyce , xvho hns lived In Chicago , questioned
Shormnn mid uocamo convinced that ho xvas
tolllnc the truth. Joyce snld It would bo useless -
loss for Shormnn to si-ud n letter to Chlcngj ,
ns ho probably xvould not got an anixvvr before
fore tomorroxv , xvhon the England sailed.
Jovt-o volunteered to send n ( hip-itch to the
lad's mother , paying for it himself. This
mmvor came back on Sunday : _ J
"Koloasu my son , Frank Sherman , xvho Is" "
nineteen years old , nn American citizen and
n stoxvaxvay on the England. "
Joyce brought this dispatch to the barge
ofllco yesterday. Ho said that Hnrnuy Dlglla
could voucn for his ( Joyce's ) lellalxlllty.
( ienor.il O'Hlerno sulil ho had decided to send
Sherman back. Ho xvas asked by n 10-
porter :
"Do you alxvays send stoxvaxvays buck ! "
"Yes , in ovuiy instance. "
"Whether thov aao American ciU/.ons or
not ) "
r"l am not to provo that ho Is n clti/on.
None but a sneak xvould como Into the country -
try that xvay. "
The National line , according to ono ot Its
representatives , Is not going to do anything
to pravent Sherman's return to'uu alien
country , nnd unless General O'Dlerno
changes his mind or some of Sherman's
friends sets him n xvrit of habeas carpus , his
native land xvill fade in the dlstanco tomor
row morning. When ho reaches Liverpool -
If ho sails ho xvlll bo llublo to prosecution
as a stoxvaxvay , after xvliich ho may bo re
turned as a pauper Immigrant , mid so on till
the sen freezes over.
From his oxvn story , xvhich ho tnld to the
reporters aboard the Unglaud , It xvns not
dilllcult to sec that ho is un Amciicnn citron.
Ilo xvas n clerk In a laxvyor's ofllco m Denver ,
ho says , liuforo ho xvont to Milwaukee. Ho
came to Now Yorlt in Mny expecting to get '
job ns a clerk. Ho failed , and then doteri'Vy
mined to co ns a cattle man aboard the
steamship Nedorlatid xvhich sailed for Dopt-
ford , England , on Juno 10. Hu xvont off In
such a hurry that ho loft his ' 'xvush" ( for
xvhich ho has a ticket dated Juno 8) ) nt n
uundry in Sixth avciiuo. Ho hud been
accustomed to sedentary employment and
found that ho could not stand thu hard worlc
and faro ol a cattleman. Ho left Deptford
liter thu ship docked and went to London ,
.vhcro ho met Consul General Ncxv. Ho tel J
Mr. Noxv ho had no money and asked now
could pet home. Mr. Now uiisxx'orod his
liiustion in Yankee fashion xvith another :
YY lion you xvoro hard up In the states and
.vnntod . to sot home , xvhat did you do ! "
Sherman did not ansxvor the counter In
quiry but xventdotvu to the National dock
