CANDIDATES for the secretaryship OF
the Omaha board of trade are incubat-
ing, Some of them have already
peeped. Omaha has reached a degree
of importance in the commercial world
that calls for a wide-awake, broad-gauge
mar in the vacant secretaryship. He
must be n man who knows. Omaha by
heart and ear form a fair estimate Of
her needs and the possibilities of her
future. The position is N which
affords an energetic man an oppor-
tunity to be of some benefit to
the commercial interests of the
city, and the board should not make the
mistake OF appointing a man who
would simply keep the records OF the
Office and collect rentals from the ten
ants of the chamber of commerce. A
man is needed who will be willing to
serve the board, and not attempt to
control it in the interest Of the rail
roads, as one of the candidates, in the
light OF past events will undoubtedly at
tempt to do.

THE testimony that is coming to the
people Of this country of the deplora-
BILE condition of the natives of Alaska
is too direct to be passed over in silence.
1t is a blot on our civilization that the
Aleuts are morally worse of under our
government than they were under the
rule OF Russia. The appeal that has
recently been addressed by the
natives to the people and press of
America for help, since the
truth never reaches Washington"
will awaken a responsive chord. Pub
lie sentiment, if no other influence,
may stir congress to action. In a few
months the lease OF the Alaska Com
mercial company expires and congress
will be asked to extend it's valuable
franchise. The whole Alaska question
will be brought to discussion, and the
barbarities and iniquities practiced by
the company and its employees will be
fully ventilated. 1t is safe to predict
that congress will not presume TO re-
new the contract with the Alaska Com
mercial company, no MATES what pres
sure is brought to bear, and a happier
day, in consequence, will drawn for
Alaska.

RATES HAVE BEEN REDUCED,

Hence the Board of Trade of Lin
coin Has No Cause of Complaint
Against the Union Pacific.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Last spring
the board of trade of Lincoln, Neb., and
some individual shippers at the same
place began proceedings before the
interstate commerce commission against
the various railroad companies engaged
in transcontinental traffic through that
city, complaining that they unjustly
Disseminated against Lincoln IN favor
of Omaha and other Missouri river
points in the charges made for trans
portation of property from the Pa
cific coast. They also COM
planned that the railroads violated
the long and short clause of
the fourth section of the act to regulate
commerce in charging higher rates to
Lincoln than they charged to Omaha.
The cases were six in number, and the
commission went to Lincoln for the
purpose of hearing them. 1t was found
that the charges made for the trans
portation of merchandise from Pacific
coast points were slightly greater to
Lincoln than to Omaha, but it was also
found that the distance to Omaha by
the Union Pacific, which was the most
direct route, was less than to Lincoln.
A route, was, however, made to both
towns by the Burlington d Missouri
river road, which was considerably
longer than that by the Union
Pacific, and over this longer
route, trains would pass through Lin
coin before reaching Omaha. By that
route, therefore, the strict rule of the
''long and short haul clause" was OBJ
served. The railroad companies de-
Tended their charges as being just and
reasonable, insisted that the distance to
Omaha being shorter by the most direct
route, the rates were properly made
lowest to that city. The cases were
| deliberately presented and argued, but
before decision was rendered, the rail-
road companies modified their tariff
| sheets so as to give to Lincoln the same
rate which had been made to Omaha.
| This change removed the cause of COM
plant and the parties complaining were
given leave 10 withdraw their petitions.

THEY ALL COME IN.
The Northwestern at Last Agrees
to Meet the Cut Rates.

to Meet the Cut Rates.
1t is expected that there will now be
a lively fight among the Chicago roads
for the freight between st. Paul and
Chicago. Some weeks ago the Burling-
ton & Northern made cut, and it was
said that they would be left to enjoy the
distinction of being the only road
to carry freight at the rates
named. The other roads stood
out very bravely, but finally, after few
weeks, the st. Paul d. Kansas City and
the Wisconsin Central concluded to re-
duce the rates to meet those of the Bur-
lington q Northern. The Milwaukee IL
st. Paul and the Northwestern lines al
lowed their rivals to take all the freight.
Finally, last week this kind of business
seemed to disagree with the Milwaukee
& st. Paul, and that road gave notice that
Monday, Sept. 8, it would meet the cut
rate. Yesterday the Northwestern line
also gave notice that it would join the
crowd and carry as cheap as the rest.
All railroad men look for a grand
scramble now for freight, and COM
plete decentralization. The trouble is
expected to commence with secret cut
ting through system of rebates, and
that soon after it will break out into
open bidding fOr'low freights.

Statistics Showing the Wonderful
Development of Railroad Inter-
eSts.
BALTIMORE, Sept, Sin this weeks
issue the Manufacturers Record pre-
sents special statistics as to the develop
ment of the railroad interests of the
South during the last eight years. In
1880 the South had 2O,612 miles of rail-
road, costing, with equipment, $685.
100000, while at the present time it has
$4,000 miles, costing 81, $4,000, 900,
gain of $4,000 miles in
track, and S75O,0O0,0OO in the
amount invested in railroads. The
growth of the iron interests has had a
marked effect in stimulating railroad
construction, and next year the South
will make 100000 tons of pig iron
against 397, 30l tons in 1880. The traffic
in coke ore and iron developed by this
business will furnish Southern railroads
in 1889 over 100000 tons of freight
which is equal in volume to the entire
wheat crop of the country and seven
times as great as the cotton crop.

There were four divisions, and the

The procession was reviewed by Gov.

GOTHAN's HOLIDAY GARB.
1t Is Donned in Honor of the

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Sept. S.-Labor day was
generally observed here to-day. At an
early hour the streets on the East side
presented the appearance of holiday,
and the business portion of the city was
almost deserted. The various eX-
changes were closed. The custom
house was open for one hour only. The
CITY hall looked lonesome, and the
absence of flags upon it drew forth COM
ment from the passing crowds. The
base ball grounds seemed the only
places crowded, and they were packed
to overlooking. 1t was II o'clock when
the great Labor day procession under
the command of Grand Marshal
jeremiah A. Sullivan and aides, left
the starting point at Thirteenth
street and Second avenue. Following
Marshal Sullivan and staff, who were at
the head of the procession, came a num-
Der of carriages containing the Central
Labor unions committees of arrange
mentS. The right of line was held by
the building trades, the housesmiths
leading under SectiOnman Marshal
James McKim. There were 500 of the
houSeSmithS and as many of the slate
and metal rOofers. The section con-
tanned nearly 5000 workers of all
classes. and fifteen bands of music. A
feature of this portion of the procession
was the marble cutters display. Sew
eral wagons were occupied by sculptors
and stone dressers plying their trade
upon pieces of half finished work. The
German and Hebrew Typographical
unions, heading the printing trade
section, next appeared, followed
by the book binders. Three hun
bred Oystermen, some on foot
and some in wagons, presented
neat appearance in brand new jump
ers and caps, In the bakers section, a
cone six feet high on fOur-fOOt base
attracted attention. 1t was borne on
the shoulders of eight men. A siX-fOot
