May I , 18SO , and was conllrmod by the
Bonivto the winter following. Commis
sioner ot Indian Affairs Morgan was ap
pointed and took his olllco July 1 , 1889 ,
and was confirmed by the sonata tlio
winter following on the duy preceding
the confirmation of Superintendent Dor
chester. The superintendent of Indian
schools reports direct to the secretary
of the interior and is not rosuonilbla to
the commissioner of Indian affairs for
any of his actions. Bishop Kain , in his
newspaper iir-tlola criticising the admin
istration of Indian affairs , commits the
grave and inexcusable blunder of losing

It is stated In the press of the west
that n largo corporation has boon
formed with capital enough to carry on
operations which shall eventually result
In the oroctlon of C50 boot sugar plants
in the United States. The ultimate
product of those would roach the enor
mous aggregate of 3,200,000,000 pounds
of sugar annually. According to tlio
statement referred to the gienntlo
scheme involves tlio orectlon in Ne
braska , Iowa and Kansas six factories
the present season. Ono of those to
coat half tt million is located at Mar-
shalltown , la , and a second Is
believed to have boon practically
secured for South Sioux City , Nob.
Lincoln ox pools one of the others.
Kansas City , Kan. , takes two and the
remaining factory will bo located in
Iowa.
Iowa.Whether
Whether or not tlio scheme will bo
conducted upon so gigantic n scale as is
outlined cannot at this time bo do-
tormincd. It is not likely nt all that
GOO factories will bo built by the single
corporation , though it is not impossible.
There is , practically speaking , no limit
to the growth of this now industry. The
soil and climate of n very largo part of
the country is adapted to the sugar boot
and for the product of the factories a
steady nnd increasing demand may
safely bo relied upon. This continent
and South America afford an illimitable
field for developing the industry. It is
safe to assume , therefore , that the next
ton or fifteen years will witness the con
struction of ti largo number of factories
and the cultivation of millions of acres
of the saccharine roots.
Omaha must not overlook the import
ance of tills now industry. She should
bo awake to the fact that it promises a
most remarkable development and that
the territory within a radius of 2.30 miles
of Omaha will bo the greatest sugar boot
producing region of the world. It will
pay to investigate this subject and inter
est capital in locating one or moro fac
tories hero. Wliilo wo are negotiating
for other forms of enterprise and bring
ing eastern capital to Omaha wo may
miss opportunities which lie right at out
doors.

Minneapolis has raised a guaranty
fund of $50,000. She h.is appointed hot-
working committee already. Every man
in the United State ? who can be sup
posed to have any influence upon the
subject has already received a polite
hint from our enterprising northern
neighbor that his support will bo
highly appreciated. The newspapers
of both St. Paul and Minneapolis
and of all Minnesota have cheerfully
endorsed the ambition of the Twin
cities. Minneapolis is in earnest , flor
zeal would bring to her success if she
had as good claims upon the convention
as Omaha. But she has not.
Omaha has announced through the
press of this country that she wants the
convention. The press of Iowa , Ne
braska and the western states adjacent
htiH boon practically unanimous in our
favor. The great newspapers of the east
except these of Chicaco have given our
hopes encouragement. Iowa has de
clared in her republican convention un
equivocally for tnis city. Wo have the
benefit of the prestige trained by our vig
orous and almost successful light of four
years ago.
Everything looks favorable. The
committee which goes on to Phil
adelphia next week to appear in our be
half before the executive committee will
find the way already paved for their
good work. Wo have moro than a fight
ing ohanco. Wo have positive , unequi
vocal evidence that our ambition is not
regarded by republican loaders as the
moro vagary of an enterprising western
city. Wo have the logic and the loca
tion on our side. Work and wide-
awake attention to details is all wo now
need to achieve success.
SPKAKKltSIlir OF TllK NEXT 11OUSK ,
It is not a matter of very great im
portance who of the numerous candi
dates is chosen spo.xkorof the next house
of representatives , but the outlook is for
a very lively and interesting battle.
The south will have soverJil candidates
to divide the vote ot that section. Mr.
Roger Q. Mills of Texas , the author of
the remarkable tariff bill in the Fiftieth
congressand the loader ol the minority
In the last congress , is supposed to have
the best ohanco of being chosen. Very
likely ho has at this time the strongest
following , but whether ho can hold
It when the democrats of the house
got together in Washington and can
vass the claims of the several candi
dates and propose the deals always in
cident to tlioso contests , is another mat-
tor. Mr. Mills has in his favor the fact
that ii the last two congresses Ho was
the recognized loader of his party , but
except this ho has no very strong claims ,
lie is not particularly able as a parlia
mentarian , and his temperament hardly
ills him for the trying duties and
moro or loss exasperating experi
ences of the speaker's position.
The democrats have such an
overwhelming majority in tbo
next congress that a speaker
who is in full sympathy nnd accord with
hlfl party may bo subjected to loss annoy
ance and irritation than is usual , but
the minority In the Fifty-second con
gress can bo troublesome if disposed to
bo , and undoubtedly it will bo given
numerous opportunities.
Another southern candidate is Mr.
Crisp of Georgia , and ho probably
stifhds a strong second In favor. Crisp
was a valiant champion of the rights as
serted by the minority In the last con
gress , and he is fully as well equipped
for the spoakorship as Mills. It is said
that ho will not only have the sup
port of all the democrats in the Georgia
delegation , but of all the alllanco men
with a single exception , and these tire
expected to bring their influence to boar
inhls , favor with alllanco men from other
southern states. Mr. Crisp , however ,
labors under the disndvantage of not being -
ing in sympathy with the extreme tariff
reform element of his party , and this
will dominate the next house. A third
southern candidate is MoMlllln of Tennessee -
nossoo , who would probably make a bet
tor speaker than either of the aforemen
tioned , but it does not appear that ho
has much of a following. Hatch of Mis
souri has boon talked of , chiefly for the
reason tlmt ho stands well with the alli
ance people and his election might have
the effect to attract alliance votes to the
democratic party. Ho is also sound ns
to alt the leading features of democratic
policy nnd is fairly equipped for the
duties of the ftpeakorahlp. Several
northern democrats have boon men
tioned ns possibilities , but it may bo
accepted as'a foregone conclusion
that the speaker of the next house
of roprosontatlvos will bo from the south.
This is the most important ana iniluan-
tlal position at present within roach of
'the southern branch of the democracy ,
and it will not bo denied this one place
of power In the government. It Is use
less for any northern democrat to nurse
a hope of being speaker of the Fifty-
second congress.

There is another report , emanating
now from St. Paul , of n movement to
form a gigantic farmers' trust for the
purpose of cornering wheat , and thereby
pushing up the price to auch n llguro as
tlio parties to the scheme may ngroo on
as satisfactory. Tlio plan ns stated is to
unite the wheat growers of the country
In tin agreement to hold back their grain ,
and it is reported that the promoters of
this project sire sending out circulars to
all alliances in the wheat producing
states urging its adoption.
These repeated reports warrant the
belief that a scheme of the character
described is really being urged upon the
attention of the wheat growers of the
country , but it is hardly possible that it
will amount to anything serious. Even
if all the farmers of the country who
raise wheat wore in a condition to hold
back their grain it would bo impractic
able to unite thorn in an agreement for
this purpose. Conibinations of n few
capitalists , representing manufacturing
industries , oven though widely sopa-
r.ited , can be effected without much
difliculty , but to unite a million
men in n doyen or moro states ,
among whom there is great divor-
bity of conditions and circum
stances , in an agreement of the na
ture proposed by the projectors of the
xvhoat corner , till intelligent people must
ECO would bo practically impossible.
The great majority of wheat growers
cannot afford to hold back tneir crop
but must realize on it as soon ns they
can got it to market in order to meet
pressing obligations. The small num
ber who can do not need any suggestion
as to what they shall do , nor will they
bind themselves by any sort of
agreement , either as to the time
which they shall hold their wheat or
the price at which they will sell it. Far
mers who are in a position to do as they
please with their products will not enter
into any combination which would nec
essarily impose restraint upon their ac
tion. Such men would bo very likely to
sco the pecuniary advantage of selling
during the very time in which their
less wise neighbors were withholding
their crop , and they will remain free
to got the bpnofit of such opportunities.
Generally farmers of this class will bo
found to bo pretty intelligent and
shrewd business men , who study
the markets and keep well
informed us to demand and supply , and
all the conditions affecting values. They
cannot bo drawn into any such arrange
ment as the wheat trust projectors con
template. *
it has been suggested regarding this
scheme that it is illegal , and the sug
gestion is worthy of consideration.
There is an anti-trust law , passed by
the last congress in response to a popu
lar demand , in which the voice of the
farmers of the country was most promi
nent , that appears to apply to just such
combinations or agreements as that re
ported to bo now in active formation
for cornering wheat. This law
declares to be illegal every contract ,
combination in the form of trust or
otherwise , or conspiracy in restraint of
trade or commerce among the several
states or with foreign countries , and
provides that every person who shall
make any such contract or engage in
such combination or conspiracy shall bo
doomed guilty of a misdemeanor , and on
conviction thereof shall bo punished by
a line not exceeding $ o,000 or by im
prisonment not exceeding one year , or
by both , in the discretion of the court.
The same punishment is pre
scribed for persons convicted of monopo
lizing or attempting to monopolize , or
combining or conspiring with other per
sons to monopolize any part of the trade
or commerce among tlio several states or
with foreign nations. Tlmt cornering
wheat in the way proposed would bo in
restraint of trade does not admit , of a
question.
The farmers of the country have de
manded the suppression of trusts and
combinations. There is a law for this
purpose and the judicial department of
the government has taken steps to have
it enforced. The men who have asked
this legislation will not violate it.
BISHOP SilANLHY of North Dakota ,
makes a very unwise throat when ho
intimates that the Catholic vote will bo
thrown against the administration' on
account of the Indian suhool question.
The sentiment will bo repudiated by the
rank and lilo as well as the leaders of
that great church. It will bo an un
happy day in this country when political
lines shall bo drawn by the churches or
when the weight of any gro it sect can
bo thrown at will for or against any
political party , party measure or party
administration. Tno people of America
do not taku to a mixture ot politics and
religion. They want the two kepi dis
tinct.
ADVERTISING in eastern newspapers
is good as far as it goes , but the actual
development hero with local capital of
canneries , ataroh factories , cereal mills ,
sugar factories and similar industries
would bo far moro profitable to the city ,
When nil those industries nourish in the
llvo cities of tlio interior of the state
and depend largely upon the Omaha
market for sales of tholr product , it is
nonsense to say that they will not bo
profitable if established hero.

A UKKAT mistake has boon made in

Nob. , July 23. [ Special to Tun
BKi ? . | Some of the loan nnd building nsso-
clrtlons organized In Nebraska nro llnblo to
find themselves floundering In trouble If
they do not hasten to comply with the law
which places them under control of the state
banking board. The act was p.issod April I
niul the associations were given nlnoty dny.s
in which to prepare for a compliance with
the law.
That limit expired July , but up to date
only two associations have lllcd with the
banking board the statement required by the
statute.
Until such statement Is filed the board , will
not Issue a permit for them to do business.
It has been hinted that the board will
declare Illegal any business that may linvo
boon transacted by tho. delinquent assocl-
iitions between July 4 mid the llmo of issuing
tholr permits.
The hoard Is ttnnblo to toll tha number of
associations doing business in Nebraska , but
It Is thought the local organizations will
number about forty. It is believed that ,
the national associations operating In this
state will exceed that number. The board'
has boguu a crusade against the nationals ,
because none thus far examined Imvo stood
the test. The all seem to bo oreani/cd for
the purpose of providing blv ; salaries for the
onicers who manage them , and In soinu of
thorn the members have very little nssnr.mco
against loss. It is bollovcd thai very few , If
nuv , of the nationals will run the gauntlet
nnd bo permitted to do business in No-
briiskn. There nro several such associations
organized under the laws of this state nnd
having their headquarters within its limits ,
but they will rucclvo the snmo treatment as
other national associations.
Attorney General Hastings has just re
ceived a letter from L. A. McNeil , recording
secretary of the Orleans board of trade ,
charging the National Mutual Building nnd
Loan association of Now York with nccopt-
Inir nis money for dues nnd then refusing to
inalto a long-promised loan on the ground
that It could not do business In Nebraska
under the now law. Mr. McNeil built a
hou o and when the loan failed to cor no it
was plastered with mechanics' lions. Ono
dnv this week two Lincoln men began liv
suits against a national association , having
built houses on tbo strength of promised
loans , which were uftorwards refused.

1IISCUSSIXO 011AIN INSPECTION.
The secretaries of the state board ol trans
portation are receiving letters from grain
men assuring them lhat the dealers will bo
In Lincoln to attend the mooting called for
July 2'J to discuss the new grain inspection
law. As n result of tholr study of the matter
the secretaries are considering a proposition
to use the St. Louis standard in irruJing corn
nnd winter wheat and the Chicago standard
for spring wheat , flax , outs , rye nnd barley.
It is maintained that corn matures earlier
in Nebraska than in ether .states ot the same
latitude , that ttio bulk of It goes to St. Louis
along with southern corn to got the bonolit
of an onrlv market and that consequently U
.yill bo policy to linvo the Nebraska inspec
tion correspond ns nearly as possible to the
Missouri standard.
INCOMPLETE STATISTICS.
The neglect of minor public ofllcials is
illustrated in the abstracts of assessment
rolls being sent the state auditor by the
clerks of the several counties. The blanks
provide for returns of the ncroago in small
grains , but the reports to the auditor nro
very imperfect. Twenty counties have
failed to make any rotunis of this kind.
Ono county sends tho. acreage fora single
piecinct , and it goes down on the auditor's '
table us the return for that county. Other
counties will also ho represented on the
records by partial returns.
UD to date Ouster county has made no report -
port whatever on its assessment , and the
itato auditor Is patiently awaiting the picas-
iiro of the clerk. Enough returns nro in ,
tiowovcr , to approximate aggregates , nnd a
: iasty running ever the flguros Indicates that
the grand total assessment for the stnto will
fall short of last year's liguro by from four
to live million dollars.

Itnpnrtimt Problem.
Washington I'ost : The action of the sub
committee of the United States senate llnnnro
commlttco of which Senator * Allison mid
Cnrllslo nro inumbon , nnd which Is charged
by the senate with the duty of Investigating
the effect of thotnrlrr on the prices of protected
articles of homo manufacture , ami their re
lation to wngo-onrning , both In rognnt to Its
Incronso ami the decrease In the coat of subsistence -
sistonco In determining to place tholr In
quiry In the hands of Commissioner Wright
of the labor bureau , Is nn earnest and
guarantee of the honesty of the In
vestigation. Colonel Wright's ' experi
ence In malting researches of tills j
kind Ills him to curry on n moro thorough
and accurate examination than would bo
possible to any ether man In tha snmo time ,
nnd his acknowledged ability to gather faota
together without bias , and to present them
In n fair and colorless way , will Insure con-
lldonco In the nbsnlttto truthfulness and nn-
qucstlonnblo Impartiality of his report.
The main object of the inquiry , ns avowed
by Senator Allison on the republican sldo
and by Senator Carlisle on the democratic , Is
to discover the truth about prices In cOnnoc-
tlon with the operation of the tariff , nnd to
innlco that truth known , no mnttor which
party or theory Is to bo helped or injured by
It. It has long boon felt that In the discus
sion of economic questions , there is too
great a tendency to theorize , Instead of
generalizing from ascertained facts. Much
of the Incomprehensibility of tariff nnd triulo
nrguinciits to cill/cns of ordinary Intelligence
ailsos from the circumstances Unit they deal
with hypothollcnl abstractions , when they
should present facts. At the present time
the adherents of ono political parly nro con
tending that the restrictions of the tariff ad
vance prices , whllo the member.of the ether
party bold just ns sincerely that the client of
high protection Is to reduce them. When ,
therefore , the report of the senate sub-coin-
mlttca shall Imvo boon presented to congress
next winter , the American people Will have
before thorn u mass of reliable information
from which they will bo nblo to draw tholr
own Inferences.
That ronort , tonothor with the reports
which the labor bureau is preparing In re
gard to thu relative cost of production In
Europe nud In the United States , will , un
doubtedly , have a marked influence In stnui-
Ing the future economic legislation of this
country. If it shall bo" found that the
practical effect of the present tariff nnd of
past tariffs has boon gradually but eventu
ally to lower the prices of domestic manu
factures to the level of tbo foreign com-
potltlvo point ; if , besides , It shall bo nscor-
tnincd that our workmen arc much hotter
paid than workmen a u road doing the sumo
kind of work , and tlmt they CUM purchase
the necessaries of subsistence nnd the ordi
nary comforts of lifo for llttlo moro than the
usual costs of living nbroad , then , assuredly ,
the system of protection , wliich has been the
Ilscal policy of the country for almost a con-
oration , will bo moro strongly entrenched
than ever In the favor of the people , while ,
of course , If these things cannot bo shown ,
the opponents of the system will have
greatly the advantage.
