cortiflcato should bo
approved by our
consuls located nearest the point
of departure of the would-be
immigrant , and without the double cer
tificate no immigrant should be allowed
to leave a foreign port for the United
States. This suggestion
wns made at a
convention of county overseers of the
poor which unanimously approved it
and appointed a committee to submit it
to the notice of the government The
plan is certainly practicable , and there
Is reason to believe that no European
government would refuse to enter into
such an arrangement

Omaha people are familiar enough
with the great manufactories
In their midst , such as the
packing houses , the smelling
work-s. tlio white load works and the
Union Pacl/ic / shops to boast of them lo
all visitors. Those great institutions
are independent of the local trade.
Omnha is merely ono of a largo number
of cities who-jo traffic in the products of
those largo concerns contributes to their
growth and profit as well as the
city's prosperity. Few people know
that there are 103 factories , largo and
small , in the city , and that they employ
moro than twelve thousand people
directly , manufacturing goods to Iho
value of $2-3,000,000 per annum , yol this
is a fact and a very far reaching and im-
fortatit fr.ct in the present and future
welfare of Omaha.
Omaha people are neglectful of
Onuiha interests to a certain ex
tent , or these factories could
double their capacity and their
products. If every housewife would in
sist uoon using Omaha yeast , Omaha
brooms , Omaha baskets , Omaha vinegar.
Omaha pickles , Omaha extracts and
baking powders , Omaha crackers ,
Omaha soap and Omaha cereal foods and
Hour , the capital at .present engaged in
manufacturing those articles would not
bo equal to the demand upon it , but
would be quadrupled and the force of
employes doubled at least. Grocers
could greatly aid in pushing the above
articles of homo mamifacturo into Omaha
homos and bo directly benefited by an
increasn of customers. Omaha men make
carriages and wagons , cornice , castings ,
machinery of various kinds , oil cake ,
linseed oil. mattresses , overalls , shot ,
lead pipe , soda water , candy- cogs ,
chairs , furniture , sash , doors , blinds ,
beer , awnings , tents , white load , boxes ,
cigars , cooperage , boots , shoos , show
cases , pafos , tinware , collars , shirts ,
culTs , saddles , harness , brick , wall plas
ter , llnuors. artificial stona and a , hun
dred other articles all in general use and
in competition with eastern manufactur
ing establishments of larger capital. If
the Omaha trade were given to these
homo manufacturers , they could at once
double their capacity and the number of
their employes. Individuals in this city
have a duty in connection with the up
building of the city. Jobbing houses
can and do assist a great deal , but the
neglect of the individual to appreciate
his full obligation is largely re
sponsible for the fact that some
of the smaller industries languish when
they should prosper and employ few
men when they should give work to
hundreds.
Patronize homo industry is the open
sesame of prosperity in Omaha , if it is ap
plied individually , patriotically and
generally. . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TIIK LAW TO UK ATTACKED.
There are strong indications that a
vigorous attack will bo made on the in
terstate commerce law in the next con
gress , and it is more than probabio it
will bo amended in several important re
spects. The criticism of the law as it
now stands , recently made by Mr. Al-
dace F. Walker , formerly ono of the
most prominent commissioners of interstate -
state commerce and now of the Western
Trafllo association , has mot a re
sponse which plainly shows that
the law is very far from being universally
popular. When such a man as Mr.
Walker , who has always boon a strong
advocate of government inspection of
transportation methods , says of this aet
that in its present form it might well bo
entitled "An act to promote railway
bankruptcies and consolidations by
driving weak roads out of competitive
business , " there is a demand for
aorlouslv considering whether the law
does not require to bo radically
changed. Aa to the oll'oet of the
act upon railway rates , Air.Vnlltor as-
sorls that its operation has boon lo in
tensify fortuor conditions. The forces
which drove rales downward during the
20 yours previous to the omiutmonl of
thoslnlulo htivo sinuo uontimiod in pltiy.
and olhor pnlunl inlluonces in the sumo
direction htivo been added by Iho law.
Mr. Walkur regards it as open lo quos-
lion whuthor the inlluonuu of the law in
Increasing Iho londonoy to lower froighl
rales is or is not of ultiniiito advan
tage to the public , and ha sug
gests lhat a point must at some time bo
reached where further rate roduo'ions
will seriously inconvunionco Iho public
by becoming Iho occasion of unwlso and
purlmps fatal rcductian.s of a.xpondilurcs
in railway tualtitenaiieo und service , as
well as Iho eauso of bankruptcies and
the commercial disasters which follow
in their Itain. Mr. Walker does not ap
prove of Iho provision ( if Iho inter-
Hlato commerce ael which forbids
pooling , bolluvlntr that thu pool is
nucussary to enable ouch existing
comp'iny to obtain a fair sliaro of such
business as is common to all. Ho tmyn
this custom has almost universally prevailed -
vailod in other
counlrlos where n
national or otherwise concontralod railway -
way owiiorshln has not supervened. The
English law a raiiiHt unjust dlsorimlim-
lion has boon constantly supported by a
syslom ut railway pools. Mr , Wallcor
says : "U may ba stitod without fear
of contradiction that if the carriers had
been lofl free lo make arranjjoI
mutits timoaj , ' thotusolvos , upon which
each line might rely for eventually -
ally rocolving In sonio form a fair aharo
of competitive Iraillc , the totnplallon for
secret rate uutting would have boon in
tfrout measure removed , ami the country
would have boon spared most of the
trallio dlsturbancos and illegitimate
contrivances for buying binlnoss which
havnsinco boon pirlodlcnlly rife. " There

j ct intelligent consideration th it It
would bj well to allow a ronil'ttod
system of pooling and it Is highly prob
abio thai Iho law will bo attnndod seas
as to provide for this. A thorough
system of pjols , in the opinion of Mr.
Walker , would not by any mo.uis elim
inate competition , ft would to sunn
extent ameliorate It , and the amoliora-
lion , or more properly Iho regulation of
unhealthy competition , is absolutely
necessary for the preservation of the
American system of Indopandont rail
ways. But there would still remain
a lliou.sand matters in respect to which
competition would remain free to expend
its force , not the least bulng the con
stant struggle for a revision of the pool

the country cannot bo efficiently and

internal commerce , that within as well
as thai which crosses slate boundary
lines , is made subject to the same laws
and is controlled by the same rules.
Among the indirect results of the law
is a hesitation to engage In important
railway construction , and an increased
tendency toward the consolidation of
lines and the unification of interest ! * ,
arising largely from the severity of its
pressure upon the weaker roads.

Witli no purpose of bulling the grain
market , but simply for the information
of Us readers , Tliu 13KI5 again calls attention -
tontion to Iho fact that the outside
world is short of breadstuff * and Amer
ica has a surplus. Recently wo pub
lished a thoughtful article from the pen
of Mr. E. A. Bonsxm of this
city upon this subject , and
find the eastern press confirming
the positions taken by that gentleman
and the facts as they are received from
the wheat fields of all the continents ex
cept our own establish beyond question
the trulh that this is America's year for
good prices. The recent feverish fluc
tuations in the prices on the Chicago
board of trade are artificial. They are
the result of "
the "manipulations of specu
lators and prices go up and down as it
may suit the parties in control. The
newspaper discussions and the reports
from abroad have their influence , of
course , but the movements in the wheat
nit nt Chicarro are noithur the cause nor
the effect of the facts iis they actually
exist.
The Now York Sun in a recent care
fully prepared article shows that the
United States is about the only country
on the globe which has raised n good
crop of cereals this year and most of the
other countries are far below the average -
ago in yield. Great Britain is short from
8 to 10 per cent and must import 150,000.-
000 bushels of wheat. France and Ger
many are each likely to demand as much
as Entrland. Russia , hitherto a comnot-
ilor , is claimed to bo short 100,000,000
bushels and so threatening is the silua-
lion that an ukase has been issued by
the czar forbidding the export of rye.
The Danuljinn countries hive : MMHO sur
plus grain and India
is favored with a
fair crop. India has already exported
very largely and as her harvest is long
since past there is good reason for the
belief thai her is
supply well nigh ex

larger than the results will show. It is
admitted that this fact will probably re

more i interesting than in Nebraska. .

A reunion anywhere in Nebraska is
enjoyably tender and interesting , but at
Grand Island it is especially so. There
is located the Nebraska homo for dis
abled volunteers and on the beautiful re
union grounds adjacent to the city the
first great reunion in the state was hold.
Grand Island Is peculiarly a reunion
city and the soldiers and their friends

TIIK FOOD WKS77OA IX KUllOPK.
The question that is uppermost in the
thought of Europe at this time rolales
lo the food supply , and it is being dis
cussed in a way lhal evidences a feeling
of great anxiety. The order of Iho
Russian government , prohibiting the
exportation from that country of rye
and rye meal , has caused almost as
much alarm among the people who
largely depend for their broad upon
supplies of Russian rye as would
a declaration of war. In Ger
many , whoso rye crop will bo the small
est in many years , the culling off of Iho
Russian export will be severely felt , and
in eastern Prussia particularly the silua-
tion is reported to bo most distressing.
Those near the frontier who have of late
depended on rye purchased in small
quantities across the boundary in Russia
are now suffering by thousands in consequence
quence of the stoppage of this supply ,
and the dispatches report the scenes
of distress to bo witnessed as
heart rending. The government has
boon appealed to to issue army rations lo
Iho distressed , and there is also a vigor ,
ous demand for-a repeal of the dulios on
grain. II seeins incredible lhat at a
time when the failure
of crops makes an
unusually heavy importation of g-ain
Imperative , the government should
maintain a tax on lood , but it is said the
govennmunt wSll issue army rations to
Iho suffering people rather than aban
don the duties.
All the indications point to a period of
suffering for millions of the people of
Europe , and Iho question is naturally
snggostoU what effect such a state of af
fairs may possibly ' have upon the polit
ical conditions.'lIf hunger can excite
Iho Chinese lo revolution can Europe
ans reasonably bo expected to peaceably
accept such a fate ? At any rate the sit
uation annoara to nromtan : i most favor
able opportunily-for socialist agilation
and for urging the people to extreme
measures for securing suuh changes
of policy as they believe will bo to
their advantage. It was said some time
ago by a distinguished Spanish states
man lhal tlio .
.spirit of revolution was
abroad in Europe and steadily growing ,
and if such is the case nothing could
moro surely contribute to its progress
than the inability of millions of the
people to obtain a sufficient supply of
food , while yet compelled to boar Iho
burden of Iho heavy taxation necessary
to support vast military establishments.
Tlio food question in Europe is un
doubtedly a very serious ono , and it may
Have political consequences of the most
important character.
CHICAGO is but 600 miles from Omaha
and when the world's Columbian exposi
tion is opened Iho people of Nebraska
will go thither by the thousand. The

their names and stopping places in tlio
ell } ' should bo kept. A postolllco wheru
telegrams and letters may bo addressed
should also ho maintained with well
known residents of the slate in charge
to give information to all comers as to
the whereabouts of visitors as well as
Ins best methods of seeing the exhibits
of the fair. Half Iho enjoyment of the
