IlKUdION , politics and modlcino have
the cull for this woolc in Omaha. They
do not in tlio least interfere with busi

OMAHA has the general conference ol
the Methodist Episcopal church and

also in session hero.
A KARE and a third for the round trip

They do not appreciate the Importance

Six cases of pearl shells from Slnga

tory is Governor McIClnloy'a contribu

Omaha , and the manufacture of pearl
buttons now gives employment In this
oity to forty-nine operatives , and the do-
mtiiid for Omaha made pearl buttons is
in excess of the supply.

A/.VK MONTHS OF TfA1 VhATK m TY ,
The manufacture of tin plntos nnd torno
plates In Amorloa for the nmo months end-
tip March 31 , hss boon Invostlpatod. The
man who Invostlgated it wa * n special agent
of the secretary of the troniurj. Ho was n
republican. Ho was charged by n republican
administration with the duty of wetting ac
curate returns of the quantities of manu
factured tin turned out from American es
tablishments during the fast ntno months.
His report shows that for the nlno months
5,210,5.1 ; ) pound ? of tin have boon manufact
ured in this country. On an a orngo this
countrr has Imported OrS.OJO.OaO pounds .ot
tin elates a year , In othur words wo have
consumed on an average 3,1M'J,000 pounds Dor
day of tin plates. In fact , wo are now con
suming that quantity of tin plates each day.
It therefore appears that this "Infant Indus
try , " for which wo nro paying such nn
enormous tat , hai produced during the last.
nlno months le'ss than three days' consump
tion of tin plates for this country !
Does It pay !
Does it pay to tax this nation so enor
mously by Increasing the prlco of this neces
sary nrtlclo for the benefit of the nineteen
firms who are nominally manufacturing tin
plates , and yet who have not boon able dur
ing the nlno months last past to make enough
tin plaia nUo ether to supply the country
three days !
The result of greatly Increasing the cost of
manufactured tin to the American consumer
tins been to chock the demand for It , nnd to
compel consumers to ute substltutei In place
of It. Galvanized Iron has bcon ono of the
substitutes resorted to , nnd It wui the gal
vanized Iron manufacturers who were largely
Instrumental In securing the hlghor tariff on
tin plates for the nurposa of stimulating the
domnnd for their own material at hotter
prices. The American consumer pays for nil
this , but after a year the Infant industry
hus promoted has only reached u point
where It can produce about 1 par cent of all
the tin required by the paoplo of the United
States. Does it pay ! II" iW-7/cr < ild
There are none HO blind as those who
will not see. Just why democratic news
papers should persistently misrepresent
tlm facts regarding the American tin
plate industry passes comprehension.
The Mclvinloy act has not yet boon in
force twelve months so far as tin plato
is concerned. The tin plate manufac
turers of America wjro mot at the o.it-
sot with abuse and ridicule. Demo
cratic ortrans predicted that a 5o per
cent a Ivalorom duty would necessarily
increase the cost of tin plato in Amarlca
by exactly that per cent less the Cornier
duty and that additional burden would
fall upon the American workingman.
More than a year's notice was giveii to
importers and foreign m mufacturora of
thu advance in the tin plato duty. The
result was an enormous increase in im
ports of tin plato before the McKlnloy
bill hud taken elTcct. It tlio Lice of the
overstocked tin plato market nineteen
tin plato factories had bcon established
on March.il and thuy produced in their
lirst nine months a grand total of 5iMU- ,
SU ! ! pounds of plato.
If the World-Herald and shoots of its
ilk were frank they would show the
progress of the industry , which they
think it facetious to describe by the
term "infant. " On the 1st day of Oc
tober , 1891 , there wore live tin plato
manufacturers in the United States with
an output of 827,000 pounds. Three
months later the number of factories had
grown to eleven and the product was 1-
110,010 pounds. On March SI , 1832.
when the third ' 'eport was made , nine
teen tin pl&to factories had boon opened
and the product had reached 3,000,000
pounds , an increase of more than 10 ! ) per
cent within three months. Since that
date addition il works have boon opened.
On the " 'M of Ap.'il there were forty-two
tin and torno plato companies organinad ,
and twenty-six of these were actually
engaged in manufacturing tin plato. At
least $ : ! ,000OOD has baen invested in
plants and moro is soon to bo so invested.
The established and projected works
have a cap icily of 3,100,000 pounds per
week , nnJ under present conditions fully
200,000,000 pounds of tin plate will bo
manufactured annually at the end of the
first five years of the experiment. Mean
while the cost of tin plate has not ma
terially advanced. It stands today only
a .fraction moro than half a cent per
pound above the average price ot the
past eleven years , during which wo
have used nothing but the imported ar
ticle.
ticle.When
When the charter was granted the
Union Pacilic it was specially required
thut the iron rails used should all be of
American manufacture. At that time
there were not rolling mills enough in
the country to supply the worn out rails
of thu companies actually in operation.
The Union Pacific paid 331 per ton for
American made iron rails , but the de
mand created for American rails stimu
lated the construction lirst of iron and
then stool rolling mills until today thu
best American sixty-pound stool rails
are sold in open market at $32 per ton.
This is n striking example of what inuv
bo oxiiuctud from the tin plate industry
If the American policy of protection is
allowed to develop our native tin mines
m the Itlnek Hills and in southern Cali
fornia and the tin plato manufacturing
ludustry of the country.
Dut what arc the facts in regard to
the comparative cost of tin plate to the
Nebraska consumer now and boforo- the
Mt'Kinloy hill wont into oporatlonV The
Rector-Wilholmy company of Omaha in
a largo importer of tin plate. They
state that there is little difference he-
twoan the price of manufactured tinware
today mid two years ago. If anything
the poor man pays loss for his dinner
pall , wash holler or tin bucket now th'in '
ho paid three years ago. This firm has
reduced its orders for foreign tin plato
exactly one-half for the next year and
will purchase the other half of its tinplate
plato from the American factories. The
buyer of the firm says ho will undertake
to show any candid man that American
tin plate is as good if not superior In
quality as the English product. Ho
also says that galvanl/ied Iron has not
boon aulHtltutud for tin in kitchen and
other wares us a result of the passage of
the MclClnloy hill. Does It pay to im
port tin plates from abroad when they
can ho produced at homa by stimulating
an Industry of such importance1 ! Does
It pay to protect American manufac
turers by a tariff which is not paid by
the consumer but is contributed by the
foreign manufacturer for the purpoio ol
soiling B00d * in this market ?
FKKS SHOULD WO TO TIIH THKASVHKll ,
Thn city treasurer should bo the only
ollicial authorized to receive public
funds from any source. Whouarur
under the charter , foes are to ho paid
'or ' the performance- any work or duty
by any city oflldnl , or llconso foe Is to bo
[ inld for any privilege or permit , Iho
inonoy should bo paid to the city treas
urer directly and his receipt , for the
sumo should bo hold by the respective-
ofliccrs as a check against the treasury.
The fast and loose method that per
mits various city officials to collect or
accept money which has ( o bo turned
Into the treasury Is an Incentive to dis
honesty nnd defalcation.
At the present ttmo it may bo incon
venient to require parties who pay fees
or take out permits to go to the city
treasury nnd procure receipts , but with
in the next ninety days every city
official except the police judge and clerk
will bo conveniently located in the city
hall building. It will then bo no hard
ship whatever to require payment to the
treasurer in every instance where
money is to bo paid in pursuance of law ,
nnd the council should , It seems to us ,
take steps at un early day to carry out
this reform.
TllK SITUATION IN NK " YOUR.
The state of Now York is not neces
sary to republican success this year , hut
none thu less It is to bo desired that the
republicans shall carry it. There is
every reason to believe that they will
carry it If the party In the state Is
united nnd harmonious. But there is
some danger that it will not bo. It Is
reported that the clement opposed to
the ronominatlon of President Harrison
will represent at the Minneapolis con
vention that the president cannot again
carry New York , giving as a reason that
the active political forces will take no
part in the campaign if Harrison Is the
candidate.
It is probable that this throat will bo
made at Minneapolis , and it may have
some effect upon a few delegates. The
fact that the opposition to the president
has permitted such a report to go out
attests the bitterness of the hostility ,
and republicans generally should mark
this evidence of the readiness of Plutt
and his followers to defeat tlio party if
necessary in order to gratify their hatred
of President Harrison. Tills element
cares far loss for republican policy and
principles than it does for the privilege
of controlling patronage. P.irty suc
cess that does not bring to it control of
the spoils it does not esteem as of any
value. A knowledge ol the true spirit
of these men ought to bo sufficient to in
duce sincere republicans everywhere to
refuse any affiliation with them , because
their rue or ruin policy must certainly
result , sooner or later , in disaster to the
party.
It is not probiblo that the intended
threat will have the desired olToot at
Minneapolis. A small number of dele
gates will , perhaps , bo influenced , by it ,
but every discriminating member of the
convention will see that if Harrison
cannot carry Now York ho will bo
stronger in other status than any candi
date chosen to gratify the disgruntled
element in the Umpire stato. But wo
believe Harrison will be as strong in
New York as any other miia that could
bo named , and very much stronger than
any candidate who would bo satisfactory
to the opponents of the president. Not
even Mr. Blninc , were it understood
that ho was in any measure the puppet
of the spoils-seeking element , could
command the full republican vot3 of
Now York. There is a deep-sealed dis
trust of any man who is thought to have
iatiinalo political relations with Mr.
Platt , wh'ich no ono is sufficiently popu
lar to entirely overcome. It is very
likely , moreover , that the dissatisfied
republican politicians of New York
overestimate their strength and influ
ence. At any rate it has been abund
antly demonstrated that whoever allies
himself with them does not improve his
political fortunes.
That President Harrison would bo as
strong in Now York as any other candi
date is not to bo doubted , for no one
represents moro fully than ho the noli-
ciosand principles upon which the repub
lican party will make its presidential
campaign. Ho btanus us strongly as any
republican loader for the protection of
American industries , for thn extension
of commerce by means of redpro3ityand
for a sound and stable currency. His
administration has bcon of a character
to command the respect and confidence
of tlio country , and what has been done
is assurance of what will be if President
Harrison is re-elected. The people ol
Now York are as deeply interested in
the continuance of these republican pol
icies as those of any other slate , and the
republican voters of that state will mil
put them in jeopardy at the command
of a few politicians who are dissatisfied
because they have not been able to run
the patronage of the administration in
their own interest.

The Nebraska Central proposition is
now formally submitted to the voters of
the city of Omaha and Douglas county.
The conditions under which the subsidy
is naked for and the obligations incurred
by the company are fully set forth in
the proclamations of the mayor and
county commissioners. Our citizens
und taxpayers will huvo ample time to
fainiliari/.u themselves with every pro
vision of the contract , which omhodies
ull the safeguards that foresight could
suggest without absolutely repelling in
vestors from trusting their caplt.il in
the undertaking.
Tlio magnitude of the enterprise und
Its hearing upon thu future of Omaha
can scarcely bo overrated. It will not
only remove the ombarco that has kept
railroads oust of the Missouri out of this
city for twenty years , but it will also
open un outlet for these roads into the
interior of this state should they deem
it necessary to extend their lines this
side of the river , north , south or west.
By the Nebraska Central Omaha will
have assurance of a direct line to lu-
luth which already computes with Chicago
cage as a great grain entrepot , and u
short cut to Green Bay and to the lum
ber , coal , copper und iron regions of thu
upper InUos. With such competition
the Iowa railways will bo compelled t a
give Omaha as good or better rates than
are now given to any othur commercial
center west of the Mississippi. The Il
linois Central , which luis been cuqh an
important factor in building up Sioux
City , will give our manufacturers itu-
irovcd facilities for securing raw tna
orials and ounjljobbors enlarged terrl-
, ory for their ( Jnros and morchnndleo.
With the tonnhnil facilities and tracks
of the NobrnfltBi Central at their dls-
> osal at notnltial rates the much needed
llrect railroad connection with South
Dakota can l > p.ronstructod with com
paratively small outlay and will bo
within the rcnVHof our local capitalists.
The same Is trtp ( also of the projected
luo to the "foxas " panhandle , which
would place Sonth Omaha stock ynrdi
nnd packing Vjotisos much nearer the
jroat cattle racing regions of the south
mil southwest lhau Kansas City , and
would also open a very profitable torrl-
.ory for Omaha jobbers and manufac
turers.
Prom a purely local standpoint the
Nebraska Central project moans an out
lay of at least $2,000,000 lu Douglas
county for Improvements , outside of the
purchase money for depot grounds and
right of way , with a jirospoctlvo cstab-
Ishmcnt of freight houses , shops aud
lioadquartors that will give permanent
employment to from 500 to 1,000 wage-
workers , oven If the now roads brought
into Omaha do not invest largo sums ol
inonoy on their own account. It remains
[ or our citizens to decide for themselves
whether or not these advantages will
ju tily the bonus that Is nbkod by the
company. _
Tan Standard Oil trust has ceased to
exist. Some time ago and shortly after
the decision by the supreme court of
Ohio atlvorso to the trust it was dolor-
mined to close up its affairs as a trust ,
and this was accomplished yesterday
when the trusleos met and declared a
dividend on the $1)5,000,000 ) of outstand
ing certificates. The dividend disposed
of the assets , which consisted wholly of
cash , with the oxcopllon of some bonds
amounting to only a few thousand del
lars. But while thu trust is dnn.d the
great corporation survives , with all its
interests intact , nnd will continue to do
business with litllo departure from the
old lines upon which it grow to ho the
most formidable monopoly in the coun
try. The companies which constituted
the trust will continue together , except
those that are wiped out by the change ,
the capitalization will remain the same ,
and the management of the corporation
will continue in Mio hands of the men
who ere Uod it. It is not apparent ,
therefore , that in dropping the form ot
a trust the monopolistic character of
the corporation has been changed , and
presumubly it witl in the future , as in
the past , suppress competition wherever
it is able to do Jso , and in most other
* '
respects act asi'il has bson doing for
many years , fc'i ' ,

In the scnatu this afternoon Senator Pad
dock called up the bill to pjnsion Anna Mor
gan Hums , a measure tie introduced early In
the session. Senator Cockroll objected to
thu consideration of the bill , which was laid
asldo and will bo taken up In Its regular
ordor. Senator Paddock , in spooking on the
tloor of tlio senate , of the merits of the meas
ure , sold : "Tho testimony in this case shows
the disease from which the daughter of the
lalo Captain Burns is suffering Is an Heredi
tary one from the effects of which she Is
liable to die. Tills is the testimony of expert
physicians. This is a most necessitous case
and ono of very great merit. I happen to
have some knowledge outside of the report
concerning the caso.
"This girl la inn position of absolute de
pendence , destitution and helplessness ,
having a younger brother only who makes
In the neighborhood of $10 a month to help
support her , nnd It seems to mo that there
can bo no good objection offered ocuinst
making proper provision for the crippled ,
Rick and dying daughter of a soldier because
she huppons to bo a little above the ago
which she could bo pensioned under the
general laws. It seams to mo tbcro ought to
bo no such objection In such a. case as this ,
which Is most exceptional and most ex
traordinary und most strongly appeal * to the
sympathies of these who remember with
gratitude the service ot u bravo soldier who
fought for the preservation of the union nnd
our free Institutions. Whllo I , of course ,
cannot resist the objection ot Senator Cock-
roll , I shall not move to take the bill UD. At
the proper tlmu , however , I shall insist upon
its consideration. "

Representatives Bryan and Mclvoighau
are , it is stated here , trying to play a smart
trick in disposing of their district cuJotships
to the West Point military academy and
thus turn them to their personal political
benclit. The cadolshlps belong to the dis
tricts as they are at present formed una by
them represented In congress. In announcing
that they will hold competitive examinations
for the selection of candidates lor appoint
ment Bryan and McKcighnn con line competi
tion to the territory of their now districts.
Aspirants In the old districts , us they are at
present represented In congress , who are not
fortunate enough to be within the bounds ot
the now gerrymander are loft out of consid
eration. The idea is to curry favor with the
new districts and solidify themselves with
the now constituencies. It is believed that
when the attention of the secretary of war Is
called to the trick the recommendations of
Messrs. Bryan and McKoighan will not avail
unless they change their jurisdiction and
enlarge the territory from which aspirants
may appear in the contest.
