THE devotiohi which the Now York
Sun shows to- tife political fortunes of
Governor Hill is only equaled by its
persistent omission to commend any
thing said or done publicly by EXPIRES
ident Cleveland. The fidelity and con-
sistency Of the Sun in both instances
illustrate prominent and valuable
characteristic OF that excellent journal,
but the effect is not favorable to the
success of its recent counsel to the de-
mocracy to "get together" Nothing is
contributing moro to keep the demo-
cratic party, at least IN New York, sep
arated into factions than the fact that
both Cleveland and Hill have the pres
idential ambition, and whoever desires
to unite the party should have neither

THE lead miners and smelters of the

swec of Assistant Secretary Tichenor,
of the treasury department, in the ap-
plication Of the miners for the reversal
of the rule admitting Mexican lead in
silver duty free. A decision in the case
is delicate task. If the present law
be overruled barring out Mexican lead
1T may give the American lead pro-
ducers temporary advantage. But on
the other hand the smelling and kim

seriously affected. The treasury de-

the clam that this competition has pre-
vented combinations OF capital from fix
ing upon the northwestern communi-
ties the arbitrary rates Of freight which
they had agreed upon, that to this factor
is to n large extent due the low through
rate still in existence, and that this
competition has protected the north
west from the monopoly aimed at by
Chicago in giving 1t an independent
outlet. In short, the committee will
find the general opinion OF the north
west voiced by leading journal of that
section, which says: "It is clear that
every section OF the west and north
west has benefited by the presence OF
Canadian competition, and that to cut
it off would be to iniict upon us a heavy
and gratuitous injury" A very strong
sentiment will also be found to exist in
that section favorable to commercial
reciprocity.
This question of our commercial rela-
lions with Canada has come TO be one
OF very great and grave importance,
demanding most careful public con-
sideration. What seemed q little
time ago remote matter,
which might not become pressing for a
generation or more, has within few
months become subject of leading and
urgent concern, involving the interests
of a large body OF the people and of vast
investments Of capital. How to deal
with 1t wisely and justly is the problem
which it is the purpose of the senate
committees Investigation to solve, and
when the conflicting interests at stake
are understood it can be seen that the
problem is IN extremely difficult one.
Hardly anything that will be presented
to the attention of the next congress
will be regarded with awider or deeper
interest than this subject of our COM
mercial relations with Canada,

IN UNITY THERE rs STRENGTH.


The action of the city council looking
to the annexation of South Omaha and
Albright to Omaha is a move in the
right direction. The creation of South
Omaha under separate government
was a mistake at the outset, and has
proven a costly experiment to those who
supported it. THE BEE exposed the
folly of the movement at the time. Its
warnings we're unheeded, and the re-
suit is that burdensome debts have been
heaped upon the people without ade-
quate return from the investment.
The people OF both cities are bound
together by close business relations.
Everything that tends to the upbuild-
ing of one benefits the other. Com
mercially they are inseparable. Why
then should they continue under separ-
ate governments, paying large sums for
the maintenance of a double roster of
officialsp
The management of municipal affairs
in South Omaha does not promise an
early change for the better. AS long
as the power is vested in the hands of
men who have no great interest at
stake, needless taxes will be piled upon
the people, and the industrial progress
OF the city seriously retarded.
Among the best people of that city
there is a strong and growing sentiment
in favor of annexation. 1t affords the
only sure solution for reckless misman-
agement, and insures conservative care
for the great interests of the city. In
the council of the combined cities there
would be a majority OF responsible citi-
zensto check extravaganza and prevent
schemers and merccnaries from con-
trolling public affairs.
Annexation will simplify public
affairs, produce greater unity OF
action for the general good, strengthen
the confidence of investors, and place
Omaha in leading position in the
national census OF 1890.

THE American society of civil cngin-
GERS has appointed committee to in
vestigate the causes OF the Johnstown
disaster. The question to be determined
by the committee is whether the food
OF water over the top of the dam was
caused by the sinking of the dam from
weakness, or simply by the accumula-
tion of water in the lake beyond the
normal height of the dam. The COM
mittee will also endeavor to ascertain
why the provision made for overflow
was not operative. An adequate inves-
tigation of these matters by expert en-
gineers is unquestionably desirable, if
for no other purpose that that Of prop
erly fixing the responsibility, though
this may be exceedingly difficult, II not
impossible. The fact doubtless is that
the responsibility is widely distributed, (,
and not the least part of it, as one of
the survivors of the calamity has said,
rested upon the authorities OF Johns
town who neglected to regard the popu-
lar demand to have the reservoir
drained. But at any rate engineering
science may gain something from the
investigation, and it is we'll that one is
TO be conducted in behalf OF the Ameri-
can society of civil engineers.

MOVING EASTWARD.

The senate committee investigating
the trade relations between the United
States and Canada is in St. Paul. 1t
has made a very thorough inquiry as to
the sentiment of the business communal
ties OF the Pacific coast and the extreme
northwestern frontier. and IL is to be
presumed IL has very carefully observed
aud recorded the practical facts OF the
situation IN the territory visited. That
the committee obtained a great deal OF
valuable information may be safely as
sumed. It has undoubtedly also encoun-
tered some diversity OF opinion as to
what is desirable to be done by way Of
adjusting and regulating commercial
relations with our northern neighbor.
The weight OF opinion it has thus
far obtained, however, is doubtless in
favor OF some plan either to restrict the
competition OF Canadian with American
railroads or allow the latter larger free
dom than they now enjoy for meeting
the competition. The committee has
undoubtedly been placed in possession
OF all the figures shaving that the great
transcontinental road of Canada has
hsen making heavy inroads into the
traffic OF the American roads, and every
effort made to impress it with the dan
ger OF permitting our commerce to get
into foreign hands.
The committee is now in territory
where 1T will hear something different
from this. 1t will find in the
northwest nearly universal senti-
ment in opposition to laying any
embargo or imposin any restrictions
upon the trade relations between the
United States and Canada. 1t will be
told by large majority of the business
| mon in that section. whose opinion it
shall seok, that the competition OF Can
adian trunk roads with the roads OF this
country has been a good thing for that
section, and that they desire its con-
uuuance. II wall have presented to it

cRooK AM THE INDIA MS.

The wisdom OF the appointment OF
General Crook as a member OF the
Sioux commission has been fully de-
monstrated. He is the only member
who has any positive influence with the
red mon, and whose counsel is listened
TO with that respectful consideration
which denotes confidence. The expla-
nation is simple. The Indian respects
d soldier, and no soldier has so strong
claim upon his respect as General
Crook. Thousands of the Sioux, and
particularly the old warriors, knew him
as one Of the most skillful fighters ever
sent against them, and they also know
whatever he says to them can be relied
upon. Admiration for his ability and
courage is coupled with perfect conf
dence, and thus it is that General Crook
has been able to accomplish about all
that has thus far been done in securing
tho assent of the Indians to the propo-
sails of the government. Ex-Governor
Foster, OF the commission, Is reported
to have said OF him: "That is wonder.
full man. 1t is my opinion that a better
man than he to deal with the red men
could not have been found on the globe.
We never know what move he is to
make nexts but when he gets ready to
do anything success always attends his
efforts. =" The plimentary testimony
was unquestionably fully merited
The outlook for the success of the ne
gotiations is regarded as on the whole
favorable, but the progress thus far
made does not assure a successful
result. There is manifestly, however,
an improving disposition among the
Indians to accept the treaty, as is shown
by our dispatches from the Rosebud
agency. More than two-thirds of the
members whose signatures are required
at this agency have signed, among
these being all the prominent Indians
except two. 1t is not unlikely that the
labors of the commissioners ut this
agency will be completed within the
next two or three days, The influence
Of so prompt an acceptance OF the treaty
by the Indians at the Rosebud agency
would of course be most favorable upon
the negotiations at the other agencies,
and it is understood that the
commissioners do not antici-
pate any great amount of trou BILE at
the Pine Ridge, Sautee, Grow Creek
and Brule agencies. At the Cheyenne
and Standing Rock agencies, particu-
larly the latter, they expect some oppo-
sition, but this is hardly likely to be
very stubborn after the other agencies
have been successfully disposed of. The
commission entered upon its work with
the hope of completing it within sixty
days, and it is quite possible it will do
so in a shorter time.

CHEAPER RENTS COMING.


around the city to convince himself that
the croakers about slack building in
Omaha must be the stay-at-homes.
Leaving South Omaha quite out of the
consideration, there are more dwelling
houses now in course of construction in
this city than ever before. Every sec
tion shows building activity based on
substantial growth. Most of it repre-
sents wages earned and saved. 1t is an
interesting feature of the building situ-
alton that the proportion. of homes being
built by and for workingmen is so large.
And it is a still more interesting feature
that so many are being constructed
from savings or through associations
based on savings and which subserve
while they promote thrift. The nat
ural effect of the heavy building of the
past three years has been to force down
rents. Most of the new homes built
have resulted in the vacating of
rented house. The landlords have con-
sequently been competing for tenants
and rents have dropped. Outside
the most sought-for locations, where
prices have been fairly maintained,
rents for houses nave declined from
twenty to thirty per cent. The
outrageous prices charged for
workingmen's homes were for wears
disgrace to the city. While
elsewhere landlords were satisfied with
reasonable returns on their investments,
the Omaha Shylocks demanded and re-
ceived prices for shells and shanties,
that in other cities went begging at
half the money. One of the most per-
manent benefits of the rise OF realty three
years ago was that owners OF large
tracts of land Immediately adjoining
the city we're induced to plat. and that
the available area for homes, with city
advantages was at once increased. With
the supply came in turn an increased
demand for homes, an influx of loanable
capital, cheapening of rates for
money, building associations and
an inducement to save. The
final result has been general lowering
of rents and corresponding saving
among wage earners. The community
at large loses nothing by cheap rents.
High cost of living is the destruction of
CnrlIu. Inc value vi wages lnuSU Ill ways
be measured by what it will buy in food,
and fuel and shelter. In other words
the purchasing power of the dollar rep
resents it's real value. When the cost
of living in Omaha reaches, as it must
in time, the basis of other cities of its
size further east its possibilities as a
great manufacturing city will be fully
developed. 1t will then be able to COM
pete more closely in those lines
in which labor cost enters as
large factor. Workingmen can not
afford to work for eastern wages with
out the certainty of at least as large
margin above necessary expenses as
prevails in prosperous eastern cities.
So long as rents are from ten to twenty
per cent higher and food and fuel
scarcely less so, wages will naturally
be held at Il higher level than in eastern
manufacturing cities, and the scope of
employment must be more or less re-
stricted.

osition to grade policemen according to

to know that in these latitudes a dog
bite under peculiar conditions is fatal
