THIS HISTHMTS ; -nth
THK Bnn is tlio only jinpor In Oinalm
anil Nebraska , tlmt prints the telegraphic
reports of the Associated press nnd
shares till the facilities of the Associated
preHH with the great dallies of the coun
try. Compnro the telegraph columns of
Tin : Br.i ! with those of other papers
publish'ud in this section and you will
see at a ( jlaneo the marked superiority
of dUpatuhct published by this paper ,
both ivs to quality and quantity. The
difference is especially striking when
you compare the commercial news and
cable dispatches of the Associated press
with the market report and cable news
of other press associations.
The Ab&scciiitod press has recently ac
quired the exclusive use of the Kuropean
dispatches of the Koutcr Telegram com
pany of London , the Agenco Havas of
Franco and Belgium and the Corro-
spondonx Bureau of Wolf in Germany
and Aiistro-TIungiirr. The so-called
cable letters that have from time to
time appeared in papers publishing the
United press reports arc for the most
part what may bo called bultorino cable-
prams , manufactured in Now York
from clippings of foreign papers and
latest foreign news letters.
Tun BKK now as ever excels all com
petitors in itu facilities for collecting
the news of its own territory , which
embraces Kansas , Missouri , Iowa , No-
brar.ka. . South Dakota , Wyoming.
Utah , Montana and Idaho. In
its local Hold , covering everything
that pertains to Omaha and Jior suburbs ,
TUB BKE has for years been recognized
as peerless. The same is true regarding
the original contributions and corre
spondence from all parts of the globe.
The editorial page of THE BKK will
stand favorable comparison with that of
any of the metropolitan dailies.
A newspaper is a commodity whoso
value is gauged by the cost of produc
tion. Tni ! BKK pays more for tele
graphic news than do all the other dailies
of Iowa and Nebraska combined. Uni
versal experience teaches that the best
is invariably the cheapest.
CONGRESS will bo with us again in
just three more weeks.
WORD comes simultaneously from
Berlin and Chicago that the people
there are suffering from an epidemic of
influenza and coughs. Chicago is bound
to bo at the front , oven in the matter of
first reintroducing iniluen7.a to the
American public.
NEBRASKA has been accorded the
doubtful compliment of being permitted
to contribute one of its citizens to the
olcctroeutionor's chair in Now York.
This , however , is not the kind of
notoriety for which the people of Ne
braska are hankering.
IT is rather embarrassing for demo
cratic senators who have rashly com
mitted themselves in favor of Hawaiian
annexation to have the administration
take Iho opposite view. They should
nave waned lor a up irom the white
before venturing to speak.
ADA BrrruNHUKDini keeps up a re
markably oven gait. Two years ago ,
when aho made her first run for uupromo
judge , Mrs. Bittonbendor received 7,022
votes. This year she scored 7,452 , or
1,200 , more votes than wore cast in the
presidential election of 1892 for the pro
hibition candidate for governor , who
ran 2,000 ahead of the prohibition
electors.
Tllic indictment of Princeton students
by a Now.lorney grand jury , after they
had boon expelled from tho" college for
tholr offenses must appear to rolloctlng
people to bo currying the pimiahwunt

between wanton sport and premeditated
criminality. Thobo students will perpetrate -
potrato no more hazing. Thuir convio-
tlon by a criminal court will in no way
linprovo their prospects of becoming
ittw-abidlng citizens. It is time for the
law to stop In when the olfonso is ono
which the lawmakers contemplated.
THK inpinburt of tlio ways and means
coiumlttco are just now between the
devil nnd the deep eoa. If they stick to
their original Intention and report the ad
ministration tariff measure they fear that
they will bo unable to hold all thodomo-
oratio members of congress in the line
of its supporters. On Um ether hand ,
should they modify tholr plans to accord
with the popular sentiment Indicated by
the recent ideations they will booourt-
Ing a break with the executive powers
that bo without any uioru assurance of
locuriug the enactment of their measure
Into law. It la n hard choice , but if
there is any goldou tueun wo may bo
certain that the committee will not .stop

The address of the Philadelphia
Knights of Labor reviewing the causes
of the decadence of their order and tlio
repeated failure of American labor
organizations to achieve desired reform -
through political action is instructive ns
well n.s suggestive. The shrinkage in
numbers of the Knights of Labor from
700,000 lo 70,000 is truthfully ascribed tea
a lack of able nnd honest leadership.
No order can long survive an
autocratic form of government.
"t urn the s'tato ! " exclaimed Louis
XIV. "I am the only tnnn fit to lead
and govern the Knights of Labor ! " paid
Torrcnro V. Powdorly. While Powderly
had great organizing ability hi * assump
tion of a life tenure dictatorship has de
stroyed all ambition among the ablest
of his followers nnd eventually has deci
mated the Knights so that only a luoro
corporal's guard remains in localities
\vhoro there were thousands. "
Mr. 1'owdurly's leadership has proved
fatal also not merely bccauho It pro
vided luxurious living for the solcet few
who constituted the cabinet of the Im
perial and imperious master workman ,
but Ix'causo of his advocacy ot various
isms , including flatlsin , Henry Goorgcism
and free trade. The great mass of
American workingmen are too itit.olli-
'gent t ha misled by wild-spun theories
Hint promise them samolhing for
nothing and beck to convince them that ,
it is to tholr interest to favor a policy that
must force American mill and factory
hands into competion with these of
pauperized Europe.
There is a great deal more truth than
poetry In the assertion of the Philadel
phia Knigts that the worklngnien
have so far failed to derive much benefit
from political action by reason of the
scandalous betrayal of confidence upon
the part of professional workingmen ,
who put up slates in various localities
with deliberate design to sell out to the
highest bidder. It has been the experi
ence , not only in Philadelphia , but
every whcfo else , that labor party tickets
have been chiolly gotten up for mer
cenary purposes , and ondorbomonts for
office have been in the market like any
purchasable commodity.
The conclusions of the Philadelphia
Knights are eminently sound. American
workingmen should center all their ef
forts for the rollof of their class upon a
few specific issues , and by adopting the
policy which Dennis Kearney inaug
urated in California when ho declared
' 'the Chinese must go" force all pat-ties
to insert into their platforms planks in
favor of carrying into ofToct the reform
they demand. Above all things Ameri
can workingmen should aim to emanci
pate themselves from political dictator
ship ; whatever form it may take , and
make their influence count whore they
can achieve the most advantageous re
sults in the interest of the bread winner.

American manufacturers of machinery
for export are encountering a competi
tion from German manufacturers which ,
threatens to deprive them of a consider
able part of their foreign trade unless
they make extraordinary efforts to
retain it. It seems that for some time
the machinery manufacturers of Ger
many have been making imitations of
various kinds of American machinery ,
in some caoes adding certain improvo-
racnts , and entering into competition
with American manufacturers , not only
in the markets of Europe , but in
ether parts -of the world. When the
house ways and means committee
was giving hearings a few weeks ago a
letter was prownted to its attention
from a manufacturing firm in Worces
ter , Mass. , which also has a factory in
England , in which it was stated that the
English concern was purchasing ma
chinery in Germany made on the
American plan , and was able to pur
chase this machinery , copied after the
American makers , for a good deal less
money than it could bo bought for in
this country.
Export statistics show the effect of
this Gorman competition in Europe.
The value of the machinery exported
from thin country to the United King
dom for the year ended .Tune HO , J893 ,
was very considerably loss than for the
preceding year , and there was also a
falling off in the exports to Germany.
Nearly half of the value of our iron and
steel manufactures sent abroad is in the
form of machinery , and this clement in
our exports has increased , but the in-
creafeo has been almost wholly confined
to GonntriCj of the Amorlciin tontlni > nta.
The success of Gorman machinery
manufacturers in the markets of Europe
und Australia has naturally led them to
enter into competition with us in the
American markets. Itisbaid'that those
enterprising Germans are already crowd
ing the English manufacturers in the
English market , and machines made or
patented in the United States are suc
cessfully imitated in Berlin , Mannheim ,
Magdeburg , Barmen and Chemnitz.
Although the best stocking-knitting
machine was invented in this country ,
within the last throe years mills hero
have beo.i supplied with complete out
fits of cotton-knitting muohlnory made
nt Chemnitz. Tlig. American con-
bul at that point recently re
ported that thu time was full of plum to
open up iDroIgn markets to German
machines , due to their HUCCOJS at Chi
cago. The consul gave quotations from
leading technical and solcnllllu pupo.ru
urging the German manufacturoru that
now is the time for them tj reap the
boned t of the fanib they acquired at the
Columbian exposition. The manufac
turers are noting upon this a-Jvicoatid
the American consul says that the plans
have already paiuod out of the domain
of more discussion nnd taken practical
whapo as U ) Mexico und Synth America.
German machinery took u number of
prizes at Chicago und the Gorman manu
facturers are proposing tj make the
most of thorn. They Intend to como into
the market ? nearest to us und oompoto
for the trade , and according t'J report
they are going about it In a
way to doiorvo success. Thuro are
not mare practical people any
where than these Gorman manufacturers
and having entered the Hold as competi
tors they ave pretty certain to prove
formidable. Wo gave them an oppor
tunity at ovr great fair Vo show the
world what they are dolujj and now they
widely propose to take advantage of
their success. American nmnnlncturora
may bo depended upon to take nolo of
this and with tholr wonted energy and
c.ilcrpriso prepare to moot the competi
tion.
The report filed a few days ago by the
superintendent of immigration supplies
us at length with definite information
concerning tlio extent to which immi
gration into the United States 1ms fallen
off during the last flsca } year. It had
boon noticed at different times that the
number ot immigrants arriving at our
ports was not up to the usual figures ,
and although a considerable increase
was visible in the closing months of
this period , the monthly statements
since the end of the last fiscal
year show that the decrease ha' ? again
tracotnu more marked than before , for
the twelve months ending .Tune
. ' 50 , 1SIKI , covered by the super
intendent's report , there wcro 'NO-
703 immigrants seokinir admission
into our 'country , or 1-11,031 loss than
wcro recorded during the previous year.
Of these 43l.7iO ) ; wore , lauded , and 1,0011 ,
worn debarred for special causes ; In ad
dition to which number 577 were re
turned , having become public charges
within one year after arriving in the
United States. The principal doorcase
was from Russia anil ether countries
whore cholera has boon prevailing.
During the months of March and April ,
18K ! ) , largo numbers came over , and In
the first part of May of the same year as
many as 20,000 immigrants were re
ported to bo upon the ocean at ono time
destined to the United States , their ob
ject being to arrive bolero the modified
nnd obstructive measure in the net
pabbed March 3 , 189 , ' ! , went into olTect.
The superintendent of immigration
calls attention to thu fact that the exist
ing laws relating to his bureau Bttbitan-
t hilly accomplish tlio purposes for which
they were enacted by congress , namely :
To prevent all undesirable additions to
our population by excluding the delin
quent and defective classes who would
soon become a burden upon the commu
nities which they might infest. Only
three persons were admitted upon bonds
in ' .ho last fiscal year , as against 2,135
during the years I8U1 and 1892. The
present system of inspection offers poor
prospects lor the entrance of idiotic , insane -
sane or contagiously diseased persons
who may by chance have pulled through
the examination mudo abroad by the
transportation companies. And these
that are detected by the immigration
bureau are promptly sent back to Eu
rope at the expense of the steamship line
which brought them. To the cooperation
tion of these companies in enforcing the
spirit of the law is duo no small measure
of the success that has attended our re
cent immigration legislation.
These statistics have boon computed ,
of course ; for comparison with the sta
tistics of previous years and at the same
time to show the efficiency of the pres
ent immigration bureau. Whether or
not there is need for further improve
ment in the machinery for administer
ing the law wo" need not now inquire.
Sullico it to say that wo liavo in this fro-
port indisputable evidence that no rad *
ical changes are needed in our method
of dealing with aliens who desire to
better their economic condition by ac
quiring a residence in the United States.
A few minor nudilications may bo de
sirable whenever defecta present them
selves , but there ia no call for further
obstacles to the entrance of well-inten
tioned laborers who give every promise
of becoming law-abiding and self-sup
porting citizens. The country can well
afford to welcome a half million addi
tional workers as Europe's'annual con
tribution to our laboring population.
DISCUSSING ItKrEXOE LEOISLATIUX.
Reports do not agree regarding the
attitude of the president and ether dem
ocratic leaders on the subject of revenue
legislation , which is just now being
most earnestly discusssod by them. Ac
cording to a dispatch of two duys ago
Speaker Crisp , who could see in the re
sult of the elections nothing ia tlio
nature of a warning to his party , said
that tlio now tarilf bill will bo a clean-
cut measure and will make swooping re
ductions nil along the line. lie also
said that there will be an Increase of
the tux on boor und other luxuries , and
hu thought a bill will bo passed
to levy an income tax. Washing
ton dispatches from sources entitled
to consideration intimate that Mr.
Cleveland will not approve any
such radical measure of tariff rovisi&n
as Crisp , Chairman Wilson of the ways
and means committee and bonu : othca
democrats are promising. A corre
spondent of the Now York tiiin in this
case probably Congressman Cummings
advises that paper that Mr. Cleve
land's triumph in carrying through the
unconditional rupeul bill has sot his puce
regarding the tarill. "It won't ho what
Chairman Wilson wants " the
, says cor
respondent , "nor will it bp what the
committee will report , but what Mr.
Cleveland determines to have that will
go through if anything trous. Tie
wouldn't cry If nothing wont through. "
The name authority says that the presi
dent is not yet biiro what thu hill
will bo that is going through , hut
he is mitrhty sure what it will not
be , and then hy way of indi
cating the probable character of the
measure , the correspondent notes that it
uus the protectionists of the senate who
stood by Mr. Cleveland most resolutely
in the silver fight und who timed the
day for him.
It this correctly represented the posi
tion of the president before lust Tues
day's elections it may biifely bo assumed
that ho is inorb firmly rooted in it now
and raoro strongly detonninod to make
Iho party come to him in the mutter of
tatill'revision. . The result of the elec
tions in the states where tlio tariff wu *
the principal ibsuo gives him u
stronger gra p of the situation than
ho would otherwise have had ,
granting that ho is opposed to
extreme changes. Hud the repub
licans boon defeated in these states , or
had their auccos * baen attained by such
a narrow margin that it could huvo Ixwti
plausibly attributed mainly to local
causea , the opponent * of protection
would have gained utrcngth and oour-
ago and the moderate tarilf reformers
iii Hie domocrftlfe"party would have boon
pushed to tharcnr. As it is , the latter
may now nssorC themselves nnd if Mr.
Cleveland is one of thorn ho can com
mand a strjcyig following perhaps
strong enough ttmmtrol the situation.
It is well hnovvli'lhat ' ho is not in sym
pathy with th&'iYpctrino ' that protection
is unconstitutional , and if ho can In-
dtteo the roprVsonllVcs of his party
in congress to roinidiato this
idea in framing a now tariff
bill , It is posslblonhab there will not bo
a united republican opposition to the ad
ministration's li\rilT policy. All repub
licans do not believe that the existing
tarlll law cannot' ' bo judiciously and nil-
viintngcoiisly modified in bomo respects ,
but there is no republican who believes
that the principle of protection can
safely be abandoned , and there U reason
to believe that n majority of democrats ,
outside of the southern" states , do not ac
cept the doflt.-lne of their national plut-
form. Manifestly the number of such Is
large In Ohio , Massachusetts and Iowa ,
President Cleveland is now engaged
in preparing his annual message , whioh
it is presumed will fully enunciate his
views on the tariff , tt will bo received
by the country with vary great interest.

The city is now paying for twelve tel
ephones in the city hall building at the
rate of $48a year , which amounts to $ .j7 .
It also paid for the month $77 for the
fire department , and $1-4(1.23 ( for the po-
llco department In ether words the
city of Omaliii'is now paying over $11,000 ,
for the U3o of telephones. This does not
include the amount ptiitl for the use of
telephones by thu school board , which
iniumiils to not loss than $1,000 , a year.
In view of the fact Unit the telephone
company has been given free right of
way through our streets and alleys and
enjoys a franchise that is practically ex
clusive and extremely valuable it would
only bo right and proper that the city
s-hould liuvo free USe of telephones for
all its public olllccs. Tlmt would bo but
a trifle in comparison to the value of the
privileges which the company enjoys.
Until the council does secure ajich a
concession the number of telephones in
the city hall should be reduced to ono
telephone box in each story. That
would be ample for all practical needs.
There 13 no reason why every ollicor in
the building' ' should be given ono or two
telephones any moro than ho should
hax'o his own telograpli oiflco with nn

UXCOI.N. Nov. S. To the Citizens of Mo
braska ; The presence of a society In the
state whoso object Is the preservation of
tlio history of Nebraska Is little known. It
was organised in 1B7S , nnd the character of
the men who formed It may bo seen by a
glance nt the list of these who signed the
call for Iho first meeting. Among thorn
wore Alvln Sauntlcrs , A. S Paddock. Silas
Oarbor , HobortW. Furnas , George U Miller
mill J. Sterling Morton , liy act of Iho logls-
laitira In 18S3 the society was made n state
affair and Its archives became publlo prop
erty. Under the secretaryship of 1'rof.
George U .Howard , for many years holding
the chair of history in the State university ,
anil now In I/clnnd Stanford university , the
soetoty became known to the historical so
cieties throughout ttio United States , and
Iho library ol the society was Increased to
4,412 numbers. At the departure of Prof. How
ard In 181U , Prof. Howard W. Caldwell became -
came secretary. At the last annual meeting
a now ofllco of assistant secretary and hbrar-
lau was established , to which belongs now
the corrcspnndeilce and the cnrc of the
books. In August of this .tear the society
came into possession of Its permanent quar
ters In the new library building of the State
university. The university plvos this
splendid nluco to the society In order that
tlio students may bo able to use the society's
library nnd road the papers of the suite
which nro there kept on llio. In Us present
nmplo quarters , with unlimited room to In
crease iU library nnd Us collection ot curios ,
the society hopes that a now era has heiruu ,
All cltbous who nave any stnto m'luo at
all should enlist their .sympathies , their
care , nnd If need bo , their money , In building
up the society. It may bo naked , ' 'What
does thosocluty want ! Iloweau it bo aided ! "
Uiiolly stated , the society is milking nn
earnest cnuoavor to collect the following
classes of things :
Hooks nnd pamphlets pertaining In any
way to thu state , whether published hero or
clsowhoro.
Old manuscripts , whether diaries , loiters ,
records , or whatnot , of early settlors.
Photographs of old settlers und of nnv
state ollleors.
Files of old papers tlio oluor the hotter.
Old Now Vork.Hostou , Philadelphia , or ether
papers are also of great vuluo to the society.
Town aud city records , publications of any
kind , especially school loports ,
Catalogues of institutions of learning that
now exist or no longer stnna in i > curasi < a.
Facts concerning the early history of the
territory und sUito. Old settlers cannot do
greater service to the society than to write
down what they know or have experienced.

Talking Out In Mooting.
Cleveland I'latn Dcakr ( ( ( cm. )
There is another rebuke which the election
in Ohio brings homo. In the democratic
party there are free traders , as there arc
in other parties. They are impractical
theorists. Mr. Neal , while a very estimable
citizen , boasts that ho is a free trader. He
was nominated for governor. Ho made the
campaign largely on his free trade doctrines.
Thousands on thousands voted for him be
cause lie was the nominee of the party , and
many thousands did not vote for him. because
of his free trade doctrine.
Campbell Is a conservative democrat , a bo-
liovcr in a tariff for nvenue witfi incidental
protection. Ho ran against McKlntoy and
was defeated by ouly 21,511 ; a change ol
10,750 votes would have elected him , while
Neal with bis free trade ideas , was defeated
by 80,000 plurality.
It is manifest that the state of Ohio Is nol
for free trade ana that the democracy oi
Ohio is not a free trade party.
When party leaders ignore the well deflned
and accepted principles of tha party aud geoff
off after straugo gods it is no wonder that
the people rebuke them. This is the lesson
