A aiiHATdottlof quiet work is being

cause UH u vast deal of worry in the

THE government crop report , giving
averages of wheat yield per acre in the
principal wheat-growing slates , shows
that Nebraska's yield is K1.5 , that of
South Dakota 12.5 and that of North
Dakota 112.The average of this btato
alto exceeds that of Minnesota , which is
only 11,7 , und thatof several oilier states
having a reputation for wheat. To these
who bollovo in diversified farming in
Nebraska us a safeguard ngtiirst total
loss by reason of corn failure these aver
ages will afford encouragement. Wheat
is vary low now and there la not n great
profit in raiding it nt present figures ,
but the conviction is spreading in this
* Btato that tlio whole reliance of the
farmer should not bo placed on corn.
Soma pf the farms of Nebraska have
produced this year oa high us forty
bushels of wheat to the aero. In such n
yield tlioio is a good profit oven nt the
present low prices. It is nt least cor-
tuln that Nebraska can no longer bo re
garded ns exclusively n corn state when
her wliout average surpasses that of the
Dakotaa und Minnesota.
OMAHA ASt ) Lt\COtX.
It Is a fact well known to business
men , and often cominontud upon , thnt
rndo rolnticns between Omaha and Lin
coln , the two principal cities of this
stnto , have In the past been very slight
It is not necessary to Inquire as to the
causes of this commercial estrangement ,
if such it may bo cnllcd , but it is Inter
esting to note that during the past few
months Its disadvantages to both com
munities have begun to bo recognized.
Measures have been lately taken by tlio
loading business men of both cities to
jrlng about a kind of reciprocity in
irndu for mutual benefit and It la grntl-
'ylng ' to know that the efforts put forth
in this diioctlon promise good results
The first expression of this now
reciprocal idea was tlio earnest nnd
effective co-operation by which the
principles of tlio Manufacturers associa
tion ucro carried out in planning nnd
executing the exposition project. Slnco
then the advantages to bo derived from
closer and moro friendly relations have
boon recognized throughout the state
and in a marked degree by the business
men ol Omaha and Lincoln. These two
cities are Important markets for many
manufactured products which formerly
cnmo in from the east , but which are
now extensively produced at homo.
Some of these articles aru manufactured
in Omaha , some in Lincoln and many in
both cities. Tlio plan now favored is an
Intcrohnngo of trade by which each will
purchase moro freely than heretofore the
products of the ether nnd thus promote
a common interest. Competition will
not thus bo abandoned , but the general
volume of trade will bo greatly in
creased nnd that is a thing to bo desired.
We spcnlc of the relations of Lincoln
nnd Omaha in particular , because Iho
business mon of these cities too in to
have experienced a special awakening
upon this subject. The reciprocity idea
applies , however , to every town in the
state. Tlio cities and towns of No-
bras'vii ' , many of which have young in
dustries that will thrive according to
the volume of trade which they nro able
to comtnind , will all bo gainers by pro
ceeding upon the principle that it is
bettor to trade with neighbors having
nn interest In the growth and prosper
ity of tliis state than with thobo who
only come here to sell their goods and
carry away the money which they re
ceive for thorn. Reciprocity is n good
thing , nnd the protection of mutual in
terests that will result from its applica
tion will icilouii'l to the benefit of all
concerned ,
TUK l-'UUD VISIl SUPPLY.
A recent communication from a prom
inent bunk president atChttdron to Fish
CommifeHioner May indicates that the
worlc of the commission in stocking the
waters of this state with food fish is
already producing results that command
appreciation and approval. It appears
that the waters that have been stocked
with small fry tire yielding good returns
to the fishermen , and there is every
reason to believe that a continuance of
the work in which the commission is
jjp.gcd will 'proUuco a liberal supply
of good fish in our hikes and streams.
This subject is not merely interesting
to the sportsman ; it concerns the people
generally and has a direct bearing upon
the question of cheap and wholesome
living. It is an established fjot , o very-
whore recognized , that fish are among
the most desirable of all articles of diet.
Throughout the United States and in
Canada fish commissions have boon at
work for years and their efforts have
produced excellent results. In the
great lakes , from which the west is
largely supplied , thousands of mon are
engaged in the fishing industry , and yet
the stocking of the waters from year to
year lias not only prevented their de
pletion but has actually increased the
yield of valuable food fish.
Tfto strict enforcement of laws for the
protection of fish in the watyrs of this
state should supplement the endeavors
of the llsh commission. 13y this moans
the finny tribe may bo made to multiply
until all our markets are at least in
part supplied from tlio witors of
Nebraska. The interests of the angler
in search of sport and thosa of the con
sumer who desires cheap , fro'h and
wholesome fish nro identical in this
matter. Lot the fish commission keep
up its goo.1 work.

The wonderful advance that lias boon
made during the last third of a century
in the construction of mitchiiiory , and
.particularly in tlio equipment of ships
with propelling power , is well Illustrated
by comparisons presented by an eastern
journal. It Is well known that the
Croat Eastern , that wonderful leviathan
of the seas which was the talk of the
world some thirty yours ago , w.ts in all
practical respects a complete failure.
The reason for this will bo understood
when it ia allied that engines of only
7V ( > 0 horse power were provided to pro
pel a ship 080 foot in length and eighty-
two feet in breadth. In these days engines -
gines of such power were consldoiad
very remarkable and it doas not npponr
to have boon suspected at the time that
the failure of the great ship was duo to
alack of sufllclont power to drive her
vast bulk through the water and render
hotmunngcnblo. .
She was abandoned nnd allowed to go
to ruin boc.iuso it was believed that the
limit of bizo had in her case boon ox-
cccdud. Hut when wo compare her
7,050 horao power with the 20,005 horse
power of that modern greyhound , the
City of Paris , a vessel 1-0 feet shorter
and nearly -0 feet ntu rower thnn the
Great Eastern , it is plainly soon where
the trouble lay. Such an equipment of
machinery us the great steamships of
our day carry would have boon entirely
beyond the comprehension of thocngina
builders of thirty yoaja ngo ,
Hut after all it appears that we are
only just beginning to develop the pos-
pibilitlos of the steam engine and that
there are no longer any limitations us to
the dimensions that may Lo chosen for
steamships. The Campania , just
launched from an English shipyard , is
G1M feet In length , or only sixty foot
shorter than the Great Eastern , and is
equipped with engines of ! tO,000 horse
powor. The propelling force which
these figures Indicate is almost incon
ceivable.
The new American steamships now
building for the transatlantic business
\
will bo smaller than the Campania but
argor than any of the ether llnors now
afloat. They will bo provided with on-
fines proportionately powerful and rep
resenting the highest modern skill.

It is perhaps lllustrativo of the prow-
Ing interest in the subject of manual
training that nn onslorn'polltlcal club
lius among Us declaration of principles
this : "Proper tnanuil training should
bo inndo n part of the public school sys
tem. " It nlso declares that "reasonable
an d constitutional legislation in the
intciosl of mnnunl labor should bo con
stantly urged. " There has boon it
marked progress in public sentiment
within n few yours , particularly in Iho
cast , in favor of making innmml training
iv part of the public school system nnd
n considerable lid vnncu hits boon made
In incorporating it as a part of that sys-
tom. There appears no reason to doubt
that the sentiment favorable to this
movement will continue to grow , because -
cause tlio conditions that prompt it are
steadily growing. The demand is be
coming moio and moro urgent from
year to year for a utnco in the mechan
ical trades for American boys , both for
the roison : that ether channels of em
ployment are overcrowded and that the
trades offer a botlcr means of livelihood
than most other vocations. The mar
ket for skilled labor expands with the
growth of the industries of the country
and the general development , nnd the
intelligent youth of the country nro be
ginning to understand that tlio largest
opportunities Mid the highest rewards
nro to bo found in the workshops rather
than in the stores nnd counting houses.
Europe has furnished this country
valuable Instruction nnd example in the
matter ot manual training. Sweden in
stituted it twenty years ago , in what is
known as the % lslojd" syntoai , which
technically means the different kinds of
handiwork used educationally. By this
system , which lias boon carried to great
perfection in Sweden , the children in
the public schools are taught to be
handy with tools from the ago of 9 or 10
years. It is faiinply preparatory , train
ing the hand and eye for higher forms
of skilled labor to bo taught later in
technical schools , which are the natural
outgrowth of tlio system. Manual
training schools are general in Germany
many , and they abound , also , in Austria ,
Belgium , Switzerland and to a less ex
tent in England , franco leads all other
countries in popularizing industrial
education , but it is being extended
everywhere in Europe. There is no
valid reason why it should not bo found
as desirable n system here as there , and
at any rate the time has como when
there must bo greater provision mudo
for the industrial education of American
youth in order that tho.v , may bo solf-
buslaining and enjoy a larger measure
of independence * than is possible in the
prcctirlousnnd poorly paid employments
into which so largo a proportion of them
now drift.
The expediency of Tnaking manual
training a part of the public school
system is widely approved , though there
are some who object to it. These who
advocate it , however , have an advantage
in the fact that wherever it has been in
troduced it has worked well not every
where with equal merit , but nowhere
without sullicient success to justify its
continuance. Whatever danger there
may bo is in the possibility of the train
ing being carried beyond legitimate
limitations as a part of public bchool in
struction , but tills docs not present m :
insurmountable dilliculty and ought not
to be permitted to bland ns an obstacle
to the extension of the principle.
JXS 711 L/C / n VK COM PA IIIS OXS.
An article published In another col
umn of this paper prebents some intor-
tinL" comparisons of prices by which n
strong light is shed upon the tariff
question , the examples being drawn
from local sources and having a special
bignifieanco to Nebraska people. The
showing of i educed cost in the line of
forming implements is very striking
and fatiggestive , and the comparison be
tween tlio prices paid for articles of com
mon u&o in the hotibcliold under a reve
nue tariff and under protection presents
unquestionable proof of the benefits of
the latter policy.
The statements of the well known local
firm quoted will bo accepted without a
doubt as to tluoir correctness and fair
ness. It shows Hint the cost to the far
mer of Iho machines nnd implements * ,
which ho is obliged to pui chase , is very
much lefas than it was ton years ngo , and
this is exactly in harmony with the re
publican claim that the tendency of
prices for the articles which tlio farmer
lias to buy to enable him ' .o carry on his
worlc is downward instead of upward
under protection. TIe can buy wagons ,
cultivators , plown , corn planters , mow
ing and harvesting machines nnd ether
implements far cheaper than ho could
in 1E8I ! , the year with which the com
parison is made. .If ho wishes lo build
a burn , a house or a died ho can buy the
materials al a , much lower average price
now than ho could then.
The most rcnmi luibln contrast pto-
gonted in the nrticlo referred lo , however -
over , is to bo found in the comparison
made in Iowa of the cost of commodities
under a lovunuo tarilT In li-Ql and under
the MeKinloy tariff of the present time.
These figures should ho carefully
Htudicd hyovctyinun who longs for a
icturn to the "good old times" which
we EomotliucB hear mentioned. The
articles of everyday ueo which every
houfcckcoper must have , and which con
stitute the great bulk of the oxpeiibo of
living , were never bo cheap us they jire
Icdny. The wonder is thnt they can bo
produced und profitably sold at such
prices us now prevail. The explanation
of this is to bo found in the fact that
the skill , ingenuity und improved
methods which thuAmoiican people nro
applying in every branch of productive
industry nro vastly increasing our pro
ductive power ns a people , while whole
some Inwa designed to promote the pros
perity of our own workers in every field
of activity uro constantly exerting their
beneficent inlluonco.
It booms incredible that any person
not wilfully blind to these facts can re
gard the tariff as a system of robbery ,
and yet that is what the democratic
party calls it u cruel robbery nnd n
most bitter and grinding oppression ol
* * 4V v. -
tlio poor for the benefit of the rich.
Can there bo nn.iMiincerity In any ot the
professions ot pdrty that puts forth

utterly nt vnrlnn o with the truth ?
It la thodcclnr d purpose of the free-
trade domoornc p cnrry sorao of the
western status next month by "educat

stand whnt thnt moans. Enough hns
already been donoiiind said In Nebraska
to show that the ( enemies of protection
hope to deceive tlUMarmors of this slate
by statements calculated to make them
bcllovo that they are growing worse off
year by yenr and that they cannot hope
for anything better under the oppres
sion of n protective tariff. The best
answer to this stock argument Is surh a
comparison of facts and figures . , s wo
have referred to. No man lacks the in
telligence to comprehend tholr meaning
and appreciate tholr force.
Tin : Avir nisrmcz JUDGE.
It was to have been oxpoclod that the
'successor of Judge Doano would bo a
democrat and it is not In the least sur
prising that the choice of Governor
Uoyd should have fallen upon Mr.
Clmrlcn Ogden , ono of his most intimate
political frionOs. Mr. Ogden is a
scholarly lawyer rim ) brings to the
ofi-ico a great deal of the dignity that
should characterize the judiciary.
Whether Judge Ogden will bo able to
divest himself of the sympathy with
corporations which comes from his long
association with railroad managers re
mains to bo soon. It would have been
very dillicult for Governor Qoyd to make
any selection among the attorneys of
this district that would have boon as
linn and uncompromising as Judge
Doano on the rights of the people as
against corporate aggression. It is to
bo hopptl that Judge Ogden , with ahigli
Bonso of the great power reposed in him ,
will divest himself of all attachments
that have heretofore subsisted between
himself and his corporate clients , so tliat
the scales of justice in his hands shall
neither tip to ono side nor the other.
ir.uvrs iiKi'inihicAX SUCCESS.
Ex-Secretary Blaine has given re-
owed evidence of his earnest desire
or the success of the republican party
ext month. Ho has two ample rca-
ons for not taking an actlvn part in
ho campaign , the condition of his
icalth and family boroavomcnt. Hut
ionic two months ago Mr. Blaine
lotifiod the country through the
nodium of a letter , in which ho tersely
nd vigorously touched upon the issues
f the campaign , that lie was in full
nd hearty accord with his party , and
iinceroly hoped for its success , as being
jf the highest importance to the conn-
ry at this time. Ho has repeated this
issuraiice to an assemblage of citizens
f Now York , in some respects with
greater force of expression than char
acterized his written utterance , and so
.incquivocally that liis enemies and the
enemies of the republican party will
( Ind no chance fora doubt as , to the
iiearty desjro of Miv Blaine foe the re
election of President Harrison.
Iho brief address of ox-Secretary
Blaine at the homo of Hon. Whitolaw
Reid contained some tolling points.
One of those was tttb declaration that
the administration of President Harri
son can triumphantly endure the test of
a challenge on account ot the condition
of the business of the country. Novel-
was the general prosperity bettor than
: iow. Another good point was made
igaiust the calamity claims of the demo
cratic party , and what Mr. Blaine said
to the Irish-American voters of the
country ought to make an impression
upon them , for they certainly have roil'
son to icgard him oas a friendly coun
selor.
Brief as was Mr. Blaino's last contri
bution to the republican cause , it pos
sesses a great deal of value. It offoctu
illy disposes of every charge or intima
tion that ho bus not been in most
complete accord with his party , and it
ll servo to strengthen the cause in
quarters where the word of Mr. Blaine
is especially potential. It is an admonition
ition to party fealty that should exert a
wholesome inlluonco.
AUAIXST Till ; STATE.
A judicial utterance that lias com
manded a great deal of attention was
delivered a few days ago by Chief Jus
tice Paxson of the supreme court of
Pennsylvania to the grand jury of Alle
gheny county in the nmttor of the cases
against the Homestead strikers. The
cliargo , which reviewed all the circum-
HtnneoH of that deplorable affair and sot
forth clearly the respective rights of
employers and workmen , was especially
notable for its definition of what consti
tutes treason against the state , a crime
of which the masses of the people have
no idea and which porhap1 * few lawyers
would bo able to defiim offhand. The
principles sot fortli in the enunciation
of Chief Justice Paxson are applicable
not alone to PonnsyW'uila ' , but to all the
stales , and they shqpVd bo carefully con
sidered by every cluss of citi/.ons ,
A more mob , siiicl * thu chief jubtico ,
'
collected upon the uipulso of the mo
ment , without any definite object be
yond the gratification'of its Buddon pas
sions , does not comniiitreason , although
it destroys proportysinnd attacks human
life. But when a Iorjzb , number of mon
arm and organize themselves by divi
sions and companies'is { was the case at
Homestead ) , appoliij olllcors and engage -
gage in a common purpose to defy the
law , to resist its oflWdrs , and to deprive
any portion of tholr follow cHinens of
the rights to which they are entitled
under the constitution and laws , it is u
levying of war against the state , and
the offense is treason. When the func
tions of the state government are
usurped in a particular locality , the
process of the commonwealth and the
lawful acts of its oflicors resisted , and
unlawful arrests made at the dictation
of a body of mon who have assumed the
functions of a government in that local
ity , the oflonso is aggravated , and it IB
a state of war when u business plant haste
to bo surrounded by the army of the
stnto to protect it from unlawful violence
at the hands of men formerly em
ployed in it.
While the definition of treason is the
design to overturn or overturning the
government of the state , such intention
need not extend to every portion of its
territory. It is Bufllclont it It bo an
overturning of It In a particular locality ,
nnd such intent may bo Inferred from
the acts committed. If they bo such
that the authority of the state is over
turned in n particular locality , nnd a
unsurpcd authority substituted in Its
place , the parties committing it must bo
presumed to have Intended to do what
they had actually done. Where a
body of men have organized for a
treasonable purpose , ovo/y stop which
any one of them lakes In part execution
of their common purpose is an overt Act
ot treason In levying war. Every mem
ber of sucli an organization who partici
pates in resistance to the law and a
denial of the rights of ether cltlzons
commits treason against the stato.
The principles thus sot forth are mani
festly sound , and tholr general recogni
tion , while it roold result In abridging
no lawful right of any citizen , would un
doubtedly bo effective in preventing
those organized demonstrations against
the authority of the state which have
become alarmingly frequent in recent
years. When mon are made to under
stand that organized resistance to the
laws and the usurpation of the functions
of government constitute a treasonable
ofTcnso against the state , although the
action bo confined to a particular lo
cality , they will bo slow to put them
selves into such a position. On the
ether hand , ! t is manifestly necessary to
establish the principle , If it bo not al
ready recognized , that in providing for
thojjrotcction of their property no com
pany or corporation shall bo permitted
to go outside of the state and employ
armed mon to perform a service which
it is the duty of the local authorities to
perform , witli the power of the state
nnd , if need bo , of the general govern
ment at tholr buck. Tlio invasion of a
state by an armed force at the pleasure
of a , corporation and its usurpation of the
functions of the local authorities may
not bo treasonable , but it is an olTonso
against Iho people of so grave and seri
ous a nature that it cannot bo tolerated
without endangering the public peace
and order and the rights and liberties
of the people. It is equally the duty of
all citizens to rjly for tholr security and
protection upon the proper enforcement
it the laws by the regularly constituted
authorities.

A Chinese In Now \ork who ssys he was
jorn in Southern California is very loud in
ils assertions that ho will uot resistor and
toke out a certificate under the new exclu
sion law. There Is a very coed reason why
10 should not. Ho is not a Cbincso person
jut nn American elti/en , under the four-
.eonth amendment to the constitution of the
United States , nnd consequently not within
the purview of the Geary not. which applies
to aliens. Persons born of Chinese parents
in the United States are not exempted in
terms bv that act , but it Is not necessary
that they should bo , as tbo constitution it
self fixes their status.

It tnav bo that it is impracticable to haul
Colorado anthracite coal to Chicago and soil
It them in coinnotitton with Pennsylvania
coal. Hut the railroads could nt least make
rates which would give Colorado complete
control of the anthracite coal trndoof Omuhn ,
St. Joseph , Kansas City nnd other points in
the Missouri river valley. It is possible
that Colorado anthracite could bo sold In St.
Louis , although not tn Chicago , at a profit.
Tbo Pennsylvania coal is brought to Chi
cugo by wntor Iroin HufTalo , and from Chicago
cage It is convoyed O.v rail to St. Louis. At
least that is the natural course for it to tnlio
us long as tbo lake navigation is open. Col
orado coal dealers have had to contend with
Pennsylvania competitors ia tno Omaha
market , whereas they ought to have undis
puted possession of that market.

' "A good ninny letters were received Inst
evening and tins morning , among thorn some
from ICnusas , Washington , Illinois , Wiscon
sin. Oregon nnd Now llntnpslnro. Reports
from Kansas represent the republicans in
very good condition. The state U claimed
as safe for Harrison , and It Is inserted that
they uro sure of all but two ot the ronrc-
soatativos la congress , with tlio chances
favoring tholr having a solid delegation. The
two doubtful districts are I'orkins1 olcldls
trlct and .lorry Simpson's. Senator Uolph
writes from Oregon that the situation In
that stuto Is very satisfactory to thu repub
licans. Governor 1'ennoyor's ' tutng ever to

Illinois , It is assarted , the democrats IH.V no
claims to any chance oxrent In the contest
ever thu povarnorshlp. Thcra Is a hard
light over that ofllco , but the presidential
ticket Is not regarded as seriously involved.
In Wisconsin both uatiocal und stnto tickets
are reported us all right.
"In Washington there Is considerable local
trouble which puts up a sharp light ever the
local ticket , but the state U regarded as sure
for Harrison. Letters from Now Hampshire
show that there Is a very pretty light la
progress Inure. The democrats are doing
their best to curry the state. It has bean
thought by a gruui many thnt the c.indlcncy
of ox-Senator Ulalr for congress was going
to prove a source of weakness to the re pub-
llcans. The reports received , however , indicate -
cato quite the contrary. lilalr is snla to bo
making a very earnest am' improaslvo con
test and the effectiveness of his canvass is
beginning to show in the growing Interest In
the light und the activity of the republicans.
The reports are encouraging , indicating that
while there roust bo a bard light the stuto
will remain In the republican column , giving
its vote for Harrison. "

W. H. Michael , clerk of the printing records
of the United Stales senate. Is going west ia
a day or two to take an actlvo purt in the
campaign nnd no Is particularly after the
scalp of Congressman McICcIgban. Mr. Mc-
Keiglian's strongest point is his denuncia
tion of tlio railroads and of public ofllcialt
who accept passes from them. Mr. Michael
takes with him to Nebraska a statement
from the president of the Bulllmoro & Ohio
railroad that passes from Washington to
ChicoRo and return were issued to Mr Mc-
Kelcban Apill 5 for himself and daughter.
Mr. McKelghan traveled on these passes oa
his wav west , and the llrst thing ho did
when ho arrived in Nebraska was to say that
men who roda on railruud parses had collars
around tholr necks and ought to have hemp
ropes there. These fuels oUL'ht to oucn thu
oycs of some of Mr. McKeighnn'.s constitu
ents.
No Material Cliiingu ,
The condition of Mrs. Harrison shows no
material change todoy. She rested well last
night und through the day has slept a grout
deal , but thu sleep is not altogether a resting
one , and she awakes iron ) It sometimes al
most weaker than she was Doforo. Tbo doc
tor notes no striking change in the condition
of his puticnt within Iho last \voclr , except
that she is not so strong us she was lust Sat-
urdav. This is what is to bo expected in the
natural progress of the disease. So long ns
there are no now complications , howe\or ,
ho bus no fear of a fatal termination of her
sickness in the near future.
Although Mrs. Harrison's condition was
no worse tun president did not fcol equal to
seeing any ono. Ho had to bo denied to the
papal legato , Archbishop Salolli when ho
culled with Secretary Foster. The secro-
tarv convoyed to the president through Mr.
Hulford a message of sympathy from Mr.
Hlulno which was received today. Mr , and
Mrs. Russell Harrison have roturncd from
Now York. U bother thov will go to Chicago
next week will depend entirely upon Mrs.
Harrison's condition. The president will
not go. The representatives of the govern
ment will leave Washington at 11 u. m. next
Tuesday.
