AiiOUT twenty physicians' diplomas

Ihuilth ia older it will Know more and

THK report regarding the condition of
corn in Nebraska , an made to the
Agricultural departmental Washington ,
is not so encouraging as could "bo desired ,
but It docs not warrant any apprehen
sion that the yield in this state will not
ho greater than in any preceding year
and entirely satisfactory. The most
conservative estimates p'luco Nebraska's
corn crop for 1801 at not loss than
100,000,000 bushels , which if realized will
bo nearly twenty million bushels greater
than the yield of the most bountiful
preceding year. As there is excellent
reason to believe that every bushel will
bo sold at a pro lit to the grower , the
farmers of Nebraska have little reason
to complain of the condition of corn , and
it is not understood that generally they
nro complaining. At the worst , this
year's crop will put $ 10,000,000 into the
pockets of our producers , and It Is
likely to bo muoli bettor tbun tills.

General Manager lloldrocro of the B.
M. In n note to Tin : Bnu published
elsewhere , make ? porno statements
which are interesting if truo. If they
nro correct , and Mr. Ileldroco can rely
upon thorn , licvgjjould compile a candid
statement co > njMK * ? commodity rates in
Nebraska with Mffl&ln Iowa for the in
formation of the * Jft 3plo of this state.
The producers are not unreasonable. A
fair showing of the actual conditions
and a manifest willingness on the part of
the railroads to deal fairly with ship
pers in Nebraska , will go a long way
toward establishing good fooling be
tween producers and carriers. It is not
the purpose of the producers to bank *
rupt the railroads. If they are misin
formed or imposed upon by demagogues
in this matter it is partly tlio fault of
the railway people who have never taken
them into their confidence but have prtr-
Hlstontly fought in and out of the legis
lature to prevent a fair exposition of the
rate situation. '
The State Board of Transportation has
been the creatureof the railways from
its organization , 'it might long since
have compiled the figures necessary'for
intelligent action upon this much mooted
and exasperating subject. If this board
is honestly of the opinion that Mr. Hol-
drogo is right , it should have the can-
aor to say BO and back up its candor
with a clour statement of the situation
which every cltb.cn could read and pass
upon in his own mind. The trouble is
tlnil the railways are afraid of an abso-
' 'utely correct and exhaustive review of
the subject. They insist upon throwing
dust into the eyes of the public with
tables of average tonnngo and average
rntos per miUj and ignoring the instances
where the public believe extortions
oxlst. This policy lius boon so long
pursued that the people are not willing
to accept the unsupported statement of
Mr. Holdrogo or any other railway
ollicor upon a question in which ho is
likely to bo biased by interest.
Either Iho rates are reasonable or
they are not reasonable. If they boar
a proper relation to raU-s in Iowa , tak-
ing.diiToronces of conditions into account ,
they tire probably reasonable. If nol
they are probably unreasonable. It
would bo a very easy mailer , it seems to
THK BKK , for our three $2,000 railroad
secretaries to got together figures from
the rate sheets of the roads which would
practically end the controversy upon
this proposition. If the rates are found
to bo unreasonable the board's duty is
plain. It should reduce them until they
are reason able.
Ql'BSJ'/OAVS
Senator Chandler of New Hampshire ,
who is chairman of the senate committee
on immigration and has given that sub
ject a great deal of consideration , has
submitted for public discussion twelve
questions which cover about all Iho
points that have boon discussed in con
nection with this subject. Mr. Chandler
says if any more legislation is adopted
it must bo non-partisan and bo well con
sidered , and ho suggests that the general -
oral question 19 , do wo need any more
legislation , or only slriclor administra
tion ?
Senator Chandler desires an expres
sion of public opinion on the proposition
to enlarge the lisl of excluded persons ,
wilh a specification of now exclusions ,
and whether anarchists and socialistH
Khali bo included among them : also
whether immigrants from particular
countries hhall bo excluded. Ho wants
to know what Iho public judg
ment is regarding an educational
qualification and a property quali
fication , both of which have been
proposed. Ho asks for an expression of
opinion ns to whether the head tax ,
which is 50 cents , shall ho increased.
Ho wants to know what is thought of
the favorite molhod proposed by pro
jectors of legislation of requiring a con
sular eortlieate | from the country of de
parture. Ho asks if all persons coming
into the country across the Canadian
and Mexican borders shall be examined
with the same strictness aa passengers
by sea from Europe , and the head tax bo
collected from immigrants from those
countries , or from Europe through Ihoso
countries. The absolutely excluded
elas&os now are Iheso : Idiots , insuno
persons , paupers or persons likely to
become such , diseased persons , convicts ,
polytriunlsts and parsons coming under
a contract to labor.
Senator Chandler solicits the opinions
of thoughtful clli/.ons on the queslions
propounded. To some of them ho him
self suggests conclusive answers. For
example , ho observes in connection
with the question whether anar
chists and socialists shall bo ex
cluded , that no urgent move has
been made to provide by law
for tholr exclusion on account of Iho
difficulty of defining the moaning of the
designations. Obviously this is a dilll-
culty that it will bo no easy matter to
overcome. So with regard to an educa
tional qualification Senator Chandler
points out Ihtit a practical difficulty
would bo found in applying this test to
families. A single illustration will bo
sufficlcnl to show Ibis. Suppose it bo
required thai all immigrants above the
ago of twelve shall bo able to road and
write their native tongue for it
is presumed thai no reasonable
person would require all iinm-
grants to know English and the father
and children of a family can comply
with the requirements but the mother
cannot , shall she bo prevented from
coming into the country ? It is safe to
6 y that the Intelligent judgment of the
country would not approve such a law.
Senator Chandler suggests several
forms of the dlllluulty , but without con
voying any Intimation ns to whether ho
Is favorable or otherwise to an educa
tional qualification. A property qualifi
cation would bo n simpler matter to de
termine , the chief objection to it
being that it would bo a de
parture from the uniform policy
of the government , still observed , that
the character of the immigrant , and
not his material possessions , gives him
a claim to admission into the country.
Regarding the consular certificate prop
osition , it is evident from the observa
tions of Senator- Chandler that he does
not consider it to bo a practicable or
judicious plan.
The questions submitted by Mr.
Chundlor are sure to actively renew the
discussion of the subject to which they
relate , and ho ought to bo well sup
plied , before the mooting of congress ,
with intelligent expressions cf public
opinion covering all the points upon
which ho desires such opinion , tie has
taken a good way to nscorlaln the best
judgment of the country respecting this
important problem.
Chnuncoy Dopow , who is now abroad
and IHIH made himself well acquainted
by observation and Inquiry with the
crop situation In Europe , does not exag
gerate when ho says that this is the
greatest opportunity- America has had
for a docndo to get rich. But in order
to obtain the fullest benefit from it
thot-o must be , as Mr. Dopow urges , no
cornering of the markets or attempts -
tempts to create artificial contH-
LioiH. Our gains will bo larger
l > y relying upon the natural or
der and allowing prosperity to develop ,
In a noVinnl , regular way. Lot specula
tion stand back , says Mr. Udpdw , anil
wealth will pour in Upon us. But if aify
iornor Is attempted thn prosperity that
now promised will not bo fully realized ?
Pho country will bo more prospoious in
any event. Nothing that speculation , in
whatever form , may do can prevent this.
IJut il is possible to retard the growth
of un assured prosperity and to force
conditions that will reduce the
chances of roili/.tng all the benefit
oasonably to bo expected from our ex
ceptional situation , and every movement
that has for its object the withholding
of wheat on a largo sealo is likely to
produce this result.
The latest advices from Europe indi
cate thai Iho situation there lias not ap
preciably improved. In some portions
the crops will bo slightly bolter than
was promised a few weeks ago. but the
general deficiency will not bo ma
terially loss than the estimates of a
month ago. It is practically sot-
llod that Europe will need to import
between two and throe hundred million
bushels of wheat , and will take that
amount if il can be obtained at a price
which the people can afford to pay.
But it may got along with loss if prices
go so high as to compel extraordinary
economy in the use of broad. On the
other hand the latest reports indicate
that Iho crop in this country has been
underestimated , while thai of Canada
promises lo bo very much larger than
had been counted on. II would seem
that at least .50,000,000 bushels
should bo added to the estimates
of a month ago , and in thai case
Iho Uniled States anil Canada will have
a surplus of fully 200,000,000 bushels of
wheat. Can there bo any doubt that it
would bo a grave mistake to attempt to
corner the markota with such an excess ?
It could not succeed , though the lom-
porary effect might bo to raise the
price , but eventually the consequence
would bo to demoralize values , with the
probability that those who Htood out
longest in the cornering effort would be
Iho greatest sufferers from the inevit
able reaction. Every intelligent and
practical man must see that there
could bo no other outcome of extended
combinations to withhold wheat. This
is indeed a great year for America ,
assuring a revival of prosperity in which
all departmonls of industry and all
classes of people will share. But in order
to realize all that is possible from the
splendid opportunity it is necessary to
avoid all schemes which may have the
effect lo obstruct the natural course of
trade and create artificial oondilions.
Speculation , whatever form it may take
and under whatever auspices or patron-
acre it may bo conducted , is to bo depre
cated.
A PROUD S
Mr. E. M. Judd of Kearney , is now
in Now England on business of inter
est to his community , but ho finds time
to write THE BBE his endorsement of tha
scheme for an advertising train which
the State Business Men's association is
pushing forward to success. Ho believes
the plan well carried out would be of im
mense advantage to Nebraska at this
time because it would correct a great
many gross misapprehensions which
have grown out of events within the last
year or two.
The oasl as a rule knows no difference
bolween states in this section of the
west. The losses sustained in one are
charged in a certain degree to the other.
Nebraska's real merits are confused by
Iho successive misfortunes which
have befallen investors in other states.
A.11 Nebraska needs is to got the facts
before the people of the east. There is
no occasion for exaggeration. Tlio truth
is good enough and surprising enough to
excite and hold the attention of eastern
people. Nebraska can demonstrate thai
she has Iho resources of soil , climate and
productions to mnko her Iho groal-
csl and richest agricultural state
in the union. She invites eastern in-
vectors to examine her claims , confident
that the future will prove Ihat whatever
vicissitudes have attended western in
vestments generally these who have
chosen Nebraska as their Hold of opera
tions will have no cause of regret.
Mr. Judd furnishes Tin : BKK some
figures compiled from government re
ports which will surprise most Nebraska
readers who have not given the subject
attention.
From 1880 to 1890 Iho percentage of
increase In the yield of corn over the
ton years from 1870 to 18SO , for Illinois
was 11) per cent ; Iowa , 70 nor
cent ; Kansas , 100 per cent ; Ne
braska , 408 per cent. The yield for
twenty years during which a larger
part of the corn area of Nebraska wad
now ground was one-half bushel per acre
more than that of Iowa ; < > } bushels more
than Kansas and ! 15 bushels more than
Illinois.
For the'same ton years the wheat
yield Increased 17 per cent In Illinois ; flO
per cent in Minnesota ; 09 per cent in
Kansas and 8oO per conl in Nebraska ,
while Iowa decreased 1 ! pur cent ,
The comparative increase In the num
ber of uwino , cattle and hor.-ics is like
wise startling. For the ten years
extending from 1870 to 1830 in
Nebraska the increase of swine was
U,100 per cent ; cattle 1)50 per cent ;
hor&os 073 per cent. For the ton years
succeeding this period , Nebraska
still loads Arkansas , IlllnoU , Indi
ana , Iowa , Missouri , Ohio. Wisconsin ,
To.xus and Kansas by aa inc.oaso in
swine of 80 per cent ; cattle , 129 per
cent , and horses , 200 per cent.
The fact Is and it should bo empha
sized that Nebraska loads the world
as an all-round agricultural com
monwealth and her situation , soil , cli
mate nndfuturo promisd to make her by
all odds the best of the sisterhood of
states for homos , health and invoatmonl
PltVsictAKS who have boon In good
standing for a generation , who have the
respect and confidence of the commun
ities whore they reside , and all the busi
ness they can attend to are very much
loss enthusla tlii over the now medical
law than some of the stripliilgs with
Latin diplomas > vho lobbied the medical
bill through the legislature and are now
chiefly otlj ngcd In using It to work oil
mallco against other physicians they
may chance to dislike. The bill Itself is
unobjectionable perhaps , but it gives
some very shallow-patcd doctors an
opportunity to mnko obstreperous
nuisances of themselves and to that extent -
tent at least is iipon to criticism. There
is a great de-il of flummery and foolish
ness about a great many doctors and
some of that kind make Omaha tholr

succeed Brlgndior General A. V. Ivautz
when the latter goes on the retired lisl
unless General Miles' friends succeed in
convincing the oresident that the Cole

winter unfits bin for promotion. As ho
was vindicated by the charges made by
General Miles M that tlmo it is hardly
possible that allalr will bo allowed to cut
any figure. It may bo remarked in pass-
In ? thai the friends of the late General
Crook are favorable to Forsytlio.
DR. CLAitKis GAI'KN has taken
up the question of the treatment
of indigent sick and injured with the
county board on his own account , hav
ing grown weary of the tedious delays
on the part of the city and county at
torneys. Ho succeeded only in discover
ing that the controversy could nol bo
settled until the attorneys wore ready.
A HILL for postmortem foes is now be
fore the board of county commissioners
and Commissioner Timmo promises to
make il Iho basis of a revelation which
will show up irregularities in the- core
ner's ofllce. Mr. Timmo should lurn on
the hose with full force and keep it
turned on unlil Iho coroner's office is
thoroughly cleansed.
LET Iho board of county commis
sioners , city council and board of educa
tion got together and agree upon a
proper division of the expenses of the
November election. There must be no
neglect in this matter. Omaha and
Douglas county cannot afford to unnec
essarily increase the cost of elections
under the now law.
PLANK sidewalks are an unmitigated
nuisance and no more should bo laid on
any sti'oets brought to grade. The order
of the council prohibiting wooden walks
within the lire limits is -move in the
right direction. Omaha's sidewalks are
a disgrace to a metropolitan city.
TIIK chilly atmosphere of the past few
