IllUlIT OF
Is nn alien who hns tloclarotl hl Inton-
lion to become n citizen of the United
State ? entitled to tlio protection ot this
government when In n foreign landV
This very Interesting question Is raised
by the cnso of Solomon Gerber , /or sovornl
years a resident of Omaha , and now con-
lined In a RusMan prison , the details of
which nro printed In this Issue of TUB
It appears that Gorbcr came to the
United States about llvo years ago , leav
ing his family In his natlvo town In
Russian Poland. In the meantime ho
had purchased property there , nnd
upon the death of hid father lust year ho
determined to go to his natlvo laud and
bring his family to this country. On
September M , 1890 , iis the record of the
district court of Douglas county shows ,
Garber doclnred his Intention to bueoma
n citizen of the United Stntos and to
especially renounce nlleglniico to
the c/nr of Russia. Lust February -
ary ho wont to Poland and
some time after arriving there learned
thnt the authorities Intended to arrest
him upon what grounds Is not stated.
Ho lied to Germany , but a demand hav
ing been made for his surrender to the
Hussion authorities ho wns given up.
Ho was convicted of the charge nirainst
him nnd sentenced to servo a year in
the prison of the town where ho had
lived and then to bo exiled to Siberia for
life , the conlseUiou ( ; of his property
being also decreed. Gerber Is now un
dergoing the first part of his sentence.
It docs not appear that the unfortu
nate mnn or ntiy of his friends hns made
nny olTort to'bring his case to the atten
tion of the diplomatic representatives/ > f
the United States in Russia , and tiio
knowledge obtained of It by Till ? IJKB
wns from private sources. These were
so direct and trustworthy as to leave no
doubt of the authenticity of the Informa
tion , and wo regard the case
ns being of sufficient importance
to justify giving publicity to
nil the fuels nt command with n view to
bringing it to the notice of the state de
partment nt Washington. The despotic
and relentless policy of Russia toward
the Jewish residents of that empire is
the subject of universal condemnation ,
and if Solomon Gerber has n right , by vir
tue of his declaration of intention to become -
come n citizen of the United States , to
the protection of this government ,
that right should bo promptly , vigor
ously and firmly assorted in his
bobnlf. For moro than throo-quartors
of a century the United States hns held
thnt naturalized citixons have the right
of protection when in foreign lands
equally with native born citizens , but
how far the incomplete process of natur
alization entitles n person to protection
Is a matter of doubt , since , to quote
Prcf. Woolsoy , "it depends on the per
son himself whether ho will complete
the not according to his expressed inten
tion. " A cnso in point is that
of Kos/.tn , who wns seized In n
Turkish port nt the Instigation of the
Austrian consul general , next wns put
into the hnnds of the French consul gon-
ornl in consequence of tlio threat of force
made bytho commander of an American
war vessel then in the port , nnd finally
sot free to go to the United Stntos. In
the trcntlos between the United States
and various countries rolntjng to the
rights of naturalized citizens , the claims
of the original nnd the adopted country
nro so defined ns to prevent confiict of
laws ns fur ns possible. These conventions
do not recognize the declnration of an
intention to become a citizen ns of any
effect , nnd from this it might , perhaps ,
bo fairly inferred that our government
does not regard such incomplete process
of naturalization as conferring u right
to protection. Wo are not aware thnt
any treaty relating to this question exists
with Russia , so that the course of our
government in the Gerber case will bo
determined by precedents. Wo do not
undertake to say what may bo done , or
whether the case in question is of n na
ture to warrant the interference of the
government of the United States , but it
certainly appears to merit investigation
by the stnto department , If for no other
purpose than to ascertain whether this
government may not properly ask for a
mitigation of punishment.
HKCll'llOUlTYriTU \ SP tfiV.
The most important thing accom
plished by the present administration
in respect of the commercial intorestsof
the country Is the reciprocity agree
ment with Spain applicable to trade be
tween Cuba and Porto Rico and the
United' States. A year ago such an ar
rangement ns Is announced by execu
tive proclamation to take olToct Sep
tember 1 next would have been deemed
well nigh impossible , and oven after
the negotiations were entered into
it was very generally believed
they would full. Notwithstanding
the pressing demand upon the
Spanish government by the producers of
Cuba nnd Porto Rico for reciprocity ,
emphasized by throats of revolution in
the event of a refusal to comply with the
demand , it was apprehended that the
financial necessities of Spain , largely
supplied from the revenue obtained from
the Imports of her islands , her com
mercial treaties with other nations ,
and her desire to protect her
own trade with those Islands from dam
aging competition , would compel her
government to reject any conditions or
terms proposed by the United States
consistent with the plan of reciprocity.
When the matter of reciprocity
was first proposed to the Spanish gov
ernment for consideration it was not
favorably received , and the plea of
treaty obligations with ether nations was
urged ns an excuse for the indisposition
of the ministry to enter into negotia
tions , There was reason to Ixiliovo that
foreign intluonco was being exerted upon
the Spanish government , and for a tlmo
there seemed little probability that any
thing could bo done. The fair
proposals made by the United
States , hovovor , backed by the attitude -
titudo of the people of Cuba
nnd Porto Rico , produced a change of
fooling in the Spanish ministry , and
when the special envoy of this country
wont to Spain the negotiation of a
mutually satisfactory arrangement waa
speedily nITeoiod.
Under this provisional arrangement a
largo number of the products ana man
ufactures' the United Stutoa upon
which duties nro now collected in Cuba
nml Porto Rico will enter those
islands free , and others will enter
there at materially lower duties than
at present. The schedules are espec
ially favorable to. the agricultural inter
est of this country , nnd although tlioro
will continue to bo n moderate duty on
Hour , wheat and corn , the exports of
thcso cannot fail to bo considerably in
creased. Very few know the extent of
our commerce with Cuba , Porto Rico ,
nnd particularly the ono-sidod character
of Unit trade. tt is authoritatively
staled that the exports to this country
from Cuba alone , between 1830 and 1889 ,
Inclusive , were to the value of
about $1,1100,000,000 , while for the same
period the exports of merchandise Irom
thu United States to Cuba amounted to
only about $1.30,000,000 , the balance of
trailo against us for the 150 years reachIng -
Ing the enormous total of $1,1210,000,000.
Under reciprocity it is reasonably to be
expected that there will bo a material
change in thu trade conditions. Tills
country will continue to purchase of the
Spanish islands as much of their products
ns heretofore , but it will pay for thorn
moro largely in our own products and
manufactures than has over been done.
The merchants of thoao islands have
bettor reasons now than over before to
prefer dealing with the United States ,
and the benefits to our export trade of
the arrangement entered into will un
doubtedly appear at onoo.

The republicans of the United States
will agree when they have once thought
the subject through that for polit
ical reasons , If for no other , Omaha
should bo selected as the place
for holding the national repub
lican convention in Juno , 1S02. Take
a piece of cord to any map of the United
States , ana , after measuring the
distance between Chicago and Omaha
describe a circle with Omaha as a
center and observe that within the cir
cle will bo the commercial and political
centers of eleven states , all of which , except -
copt one , are naturally republican.
These states are Illinois , Missouri , Kan
sas , Nebraska , Colorado. Wyoming ,
South Dakota , North Dakota , Minnesota
seta , Wisconsin and low.i. Wyoming
and the two Dakota's were not admitted
into the union at the date of the last
presidential election. Their vote for
state ollicors at their first elections ,
however , proves them to have boon re
publican at that time.
The following table , showing the re
publican votes in these states and the
total number of votes cast for 18S8 and
for 1890 , will bo a very significant hint
to the republican managers that ttie republican
publican party must carry the states of
the central west or bo defeated.
18S3. | la'.IQ
I Hep. I I Hop. I

From the nbovo table it appears that
there were 374U91 votes loss oust for the
republican tickets in these states in 1890
than in 1888. The total vote decreased
but 280,000. The republicans have
clearly lost much ground. An analysis
of the vote hi * states will reveal a loss to
the republicans in ouch instance far in
excess of the ratio of decrease in the
total vote of each state. President Har
rison's total vote in the union was 5,440-
708. Adding the republican vote of the
states west of these included in the
above total ( Idaho , Washington and
Montana cast no vote for president , but
are included ) , the republicans had
in the eighteen states which are covered
in thic discussion nearly 1,900,000 votes ,
or more thun one-third of the popular
vote of the union , for Harrison. In the
Pacific coast and mountain states the
farmers' revolt has not proved so disas
trous to the republicans. In the cloven
states mentioned In the above table the
independent party has its greatest
strength and can do and has already
done the republicans the greatest dam-
ago. There is , however , a stay-at-homo
vote In the states mimed which is brought
out by presidential elections numbering
280,000 votes. There are also a largo
number of ox-soldiors and ox-republicans
in the independent ranks on state and
local Issues who will not abandon the
republican party at n national election.
The national convention at Omaha
would boat a , point most accessible to all
Iho granger states and the Pacific coast.
It would bo in the very center of the
agricultural discontent. Its olToct upon
the republican party of the west would
ho electrical ; its inlluonco in the next
campaign potential. Without the sup
port of these great states the republican
party must face inevitable defeat ;
with their support the republican
party will bo victorious. Omaha
is abundantly able and entirely
willing to entertain the convention. The
political situation demands that the west
shall bo rocognix.ed. Omitha is the hub
of the central-western republican wheel.
No ether city has the strategic position
nor la so accessible from every state and
city of the union. Omaha wants the
convention nnd the republicans of the
west are back of her ambition enthusi
astically encouraging her to hope for
and demand it on their behalf.

The railways have practically agreed
upon August. 25 and September 2d as the
dates for the harvest excursions. Only
0110 line is withholding consent to these
dates and this one IB probably advertis
ing these dates as are its competitors.
The fact that the excursion tickets are
on sale for the dates mimed should be
very generally announced by the local
press and local business organizations
to the end that citizens may Inform
tholr eastern friends of the excursions
and extend to thum Invitations to visit
Nebraska on the low priced tickets.
The Importance of these two excur
sions can scarcely , ho overestimated.
They will unquestionably bring Into
Nebraska thousands of eastern visitors.
They will remove from the minds of
eastern people all remaining doubts as
to the fertility and future of Nebraska ,
and be > the means of locating as perma
nent cltlzotid among us thousands of
good farmers nna other good people. It
will pay lo p"usrthoso \ two excursions

TltK niUGIlKSS OF THE NKUHO.
After ilOOyoarsof servitude of the most
debasing character , in which ho was
treated ns a chattel , subject to barter
and sale In common with the brutes of
the farm , a revolution occurred and out
of it the black man of America
emerged a freeman. lie was Ignorant ,
oppressed nnd believed himself to
bo of an inferior race. The am
bition with which ages of progress
and liberty had Inspired the Caucasian ,
nnd the inherited thrift which makes
the Anglo-Saxon strong everywhere ,
were wanting. Ho was despised , ponnl-
loss and had no training which seemed
likely to make him. useful in any but
menial occupations. To cap the climax
of surprises for the blackman and In
crease his dangers and dilllcultlos , ho
was given full citizenship in the repub
lic without tuition and without previous
instruction in the duties thus imposed.
It was a great social experiment and it
has boon both evil and good for the race.
In the face of these dilllcultlos , in the
midst of tholr former owners , and sur
rounded by mon whoso race prejudices
wnro the growth of centuriesand almost
loft to themselves by the general gov
ernment , the black mon nnd women of
the south have accomplished wonders.
The negro has not boon a failure. lie
has improved his tlmo in the last twenty
years as no ether race in history has im
proved jt in the same number of years.
In spite of a hostile environment the
despised negro fins emerged from the
squalor of the cab'ln ' , the cringing sub
mission to the lash and the entire ab
sence of intellectual opportunity and
business necessity to a manhood which
inspires the ro popt of every well moan
ing and well informed person in the
country. c
There were 200,000 black mon in the
civil war , but Ih6ro was not one ed
ucated negro minister south of Mason
and Dixon's line , and there were no
schools and no'Scliool teachers or school
books. In ISGo ere were two negro at
torneys , throe negro physicians , two ed
itors and $12,0d& worth of taxable prop
erty among all tho.ncgroos of America.
There woro'ho'cbllego's , no'iiigh schools ,
no banks and no church property.
It is 20 years , g5von years loss than
than a generation , slnco 1885 , but today
the negroes of this country pay taxes on
8203,000.000 worth of personal and real
property. There are 749 physicians , and
G34 ot these nro college graduates.
They have seven colleges , 17
academics and 49 high schoolsall under
the charge of negro teachers. Three of
the seven college presidents were slaves.
There are 995 collogo-bred negro ministers -
tors and 247 negro young mon nnd
women in European capitals studying
foreign languages to return hero as
teachers. A bank in Richmond , Va. ,
with $500,000 capital is owned and con
ducted by black mon and they are loan
ing money to tholr former masters. This
is only a small part of the story of the
glorious achievements of the negro race
in America in a single generation.
It is the request of the leading ne
groes of the country that they shall bo
given a special place in the exposition
in which to illustrate their progress
from the auction block to the national
capital , and fiotn the overseer's lash to
the presidency of colleges and banks In
thirty years. Their progress since
emancipation is without parallel. They
have a right to bo proud of it and ought
to have every opportunity possible to
emphasize the truth that the negro
possesses not alone emotions , physical
strength and faithfulness , but mechani
cal skill , inventive genius and literary
and forensic ability. The black man
has boon no failure.
A COLOUKD man in Now York sends n
curd to the Now York Advertiser endorsing

Raleigh Vaughn for pensioning the liv

vice by visiting Europe for the purposp of
KiilhorliiK Information auto wlmt forelun ROV-

winter before a committee of conRross , which
had been formed to obtain Information ro-

with ofllolnl luttors to the liuads of the tulo-
eniph service of Knglnnil , I'rancc , Germany
and Austria.
A reporter who visited Mr. Itosowiiter In
I'arls nuked what opinions he hnd formoil
from his Investigation. In rcplv ho natd that
ho was moro than over confirmed In the
opinion that the effect of government control
was to produce a superior tclojtraphla service.
Ho nalil thnt London employed no loss than
i',000 persons In the telegraphic service , whereas
In Now York there wore only I.SOJ , The object
of the English government wns not to make

place whore there were IBOO persons there was
a postal tcloxrnphlc servlre , wheioas In the
United .States towns with several thousand In
habitants had nothing hut the rallrond tele

This Is just the slnto of affairs which wo
supposed such an Investigation would bring
out. Where thu government owns the tele

The rnllronds nro to bo commended for fln-
nlly deciding to restore their former prac
tices of running harvest excursions fr'om

been fixed and on these dates doubtless thou

visit this stato. Nebraska never presented u

Is safe to say that m uiy new settlers will bo
secured through the Inllucnco of these popu
