THE iron rule of monopoly is we'll H.
lustrated by the condition of affairs in
the coal regions of Pennsylvania. Ac.
cording to the Philadelphia Record the
producers of anthracite coal have agreed
to combine on the output and prices.
The percentages assigned to the different
companies are as follows: Reading,
40; Lehigh Valley, 10; Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western, IL; Delaware and
Hudson, IL; Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany, 0; Pennsylvania Coal company, A;
and Lake Erie and Western, /. This coal
monopoly, while starving the miners,
levies a tax on all the coal III of
the country. The consumers, however,
would not object to the tax if the mo
nopoly would only pay it's employees
living wages. The average wages of the
miners Of Pennsylvania run
from 60 to 90 cents a day. They
certainly cannot support themselves and
their families on such pay. If they can
keep from actual starvation they are do
ing better than one would suppose they
could on such wages. The condition of
these miners is indeed deplorable, and
ther eough'l to be ZONE remedy against
the grasping greed of monopolista who
heartlessly rob them by all soIts of com.
binstions. When the supply of coal
exceeds the demand, the miners are
either reduced to half time or laid of
until the demand picks up again. The
millionaire monopolists do not lose a
dollar. hut it is the operatives who have
to pay the losses and undergo hardships
of all kinds, whenever there is an over.
supply Or a decline in prices.

SOME few of the country papers are
objecting to the permanent location of the
state fair at Omaha. They want it
moved from town to town like o circus.
Suppose the state fair were held at
Kearney, or Grahd Island, or Columbus,
or Fremont, or Hastings, or Nebraska
City, what kind of an exposition would
it be? 1t would prove q failure in every
respect. Omaha and Lincoln are the only
places whore the state fair should be
held, and of these two locations Omaha,
of course, is the better one on account Of
her superior advantages in the way of
accommodations and the liberal
support that she can give to
the fair. Tho attendance of
the citizens of Omaha and the
immediate vicinity is large enough,
or nearly 80, to make the fair a financial
success at least. This cannot be said of
any other place in the state. If Omaha
cannot secure the fair for the next five
years, then tho next best place is Lincoln,
but il the state board of agriculture de-.
sires to make both ends meet it will I'M
hesitatingly locate the fair in Omaha.
Our citizens Of course should DO very
liberal in their inducements, notwith-
standing the fact that tho managers Of
the fair could well afford to locate it for
five years in Omaha without demanding
even one dollar as a bonus. Should Omaha
get the fair for the next five years, she
will at least haveto spend some money in
enlarging the grounds and adding to the
general accommodations, as tho exposi-
ton is yearly increasing in its proper
tons. However, if we should fail in this
matter we can establish a permanent
Omaha exposition such as Kansas City
and other cities have. and which could
be made more of a success than the state
fair.

IT is consoling to the people of the
United States who have been deploring
the decay of our once glorious navy to
know that England is in the same boat
with us. The Pail Mall Gazette asserts
that the boosted supremacy of England
on the seas is now a thing of the past,
and to regain it will cause the expendi'
ture of 600, 900, 5000. The British navy
is declared to be far inferior to that of
France, but we question whether it
would require 600, O00, 900 to put the
English navy in the lead.

VOICE OF THE STATE PRESS,
Cutting the Ticket,

Blue Springs Motor (Rep.)
A great many republicans have stated
to us that to cut a part of the state
ticket would injure the success of the
national ticket. We can not see IL in
that light. We can elect Shedd ~lieuten-
ant governor by twenty thousand ma
iority and snow old Dawes under a bank
of snow so deep that old Soils rays will
never melt away the political snow bank
that will cover his political remains. You
can walk up and down our bust
ness street, and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of
The men you meet will tell you that
they are going to vote against Dawes.
You cannot find a republican among that
number that will cut Blaine, Shedd, or
any other good man for the sins of an
other. 1t would be just as reasonable to
kick out of a public school all the teach
ers because we dislike one of them,
Men, who have the sand to cut a rascal,
have the judgment to select the wheat
from the chaff. 1t is the senslble read
ing public who are going to scratch; and
you can rest assured hat they will vote
carefully and judiciously.

COMPETITOR OF AMERICAN
OIL.

Twenty-Five yeors ego the first pc
troleum discovery was made near Titus
vile, Pennsylvania, and since that time
the Pennsylvania oil regions have sup.
piled the principal markets OF the world
with coal oil. Five hundred million
gallons were exported last year, and of
this vast quantity Germany took the
largest part, The recent rcpOrta from
the oil folds on the Apaheron peninsula
in the Caspian sea, near tho town Of
Balu, naturally cause some alarm among
the American oil producers, for the indi.
cations are that those oil fields will Gro
long supply the European demand,
particularly that Of Germany. Such a
result would indeed be disastrous for a
| time at lea.t to the American oil indus
try, especially in view Of tho fact that
there is now a vast over.prodUction.
It has long been known that petroleum
existed near Bsku, which is n city Of
some 10000 or $4,000 people. The
Baku oil field was for some Year, after
the American discovery controlled by one
man, and there was much complaint OF
the monopoly which he exercised. In
1867 q commission investigated the
matter, and finally in 1872
relief was obtained by the
adjustment Of the monopoly, The oil
industry at Baku thereupon began to
grow very rapidly, the production, which
in 1870 amounted to 500, 900 gallons,
increased to 2o,O45, 900 gallons in 1875.
The trade, however, was Gtill oonsidera-
bly, hampered by q duty which took the
place of the monopoly. This duty wa
abolished in 1878, and this gave a now
to the industry. Tho produc-
lion jumped to 200, 900 900 gallons in
four years. This adjustment of the
monopoly, the removal of tho duty, and
development Of the Baku oil wells are
iue principally to an enterprising
nan named Nobel, who was formerly a
celebrated Russian engineer. He is
the principal owner OF the Baku
Ill wells, although there are other OPP
who, however, continue to work
he wells in the primitive style. The ex-
.ct area of the oil field has not been as
'ertained. A tract only about four
niles square is being worked, but this is
My a small portion of the oil producing
egion. There have been about 400
yells sunk, none of them being over 700
eet deep. Nobel, lest year sank a
veil which flowed $4,000 bar
els day, and among his
'osesaions he has twenty-five others that
re known as fountains" While the
transportation from Baku la not first
lass, The facilities can be readily improv-
d. 1t has a good harbor on tho Caspian
and is within reach of the European
larkets by way of tho Volga, and the
across western Russia. Five
of oil can be bought at Baku for
ne cent, and it will be seen that this
rice is sure to bring it into direct COM
with the American product in
he European markets, especially in those
n the interior of Europe, the most i'm q
ortant of which is Germany. '

THE editor of THE OMAHA BEE, in his

unmitigated liar. 1t is equally untrue

will not hesitate to tell the people of the

at least four feet at the Sixteenth street

seriously affect anybody, but on the
other hand would be a material improve
mont. The property owners between
Fifteenth and Sixteenth could well
