THE AMERICAN CONGRESS-.

The congress of American nat ions
which will meet IN Washington to-mor-
row is unquestionably an event of very
great Importance. Whether our peo-
pie fully appreciate this or not, the
people of Europe, or at least the com
mercial interests of the old world, GER
tainly do. Since the acceptance by the
countries OF South and Central Amer
lea OF the invitation to this congress,
and the growth OF interest in it on the
part of those countries became
strongly apparent, there has
been distinct manifestation of
apprehension and alarm by European
commercial interests. They have
shown that they regard the movement
contemplated by this congress as a
most serious menace to their continued
supremacy in the trade of American
countries, which is of more value to Eu-
rope than all the remaining markets OF
the world. They understand that
although the immediate results OF this
congress may not be all that its most
sanguine promoters hope for, it.
is a step in the direction of
an ultimate commercial nnion be-
between American countries which
would bring great damage TO European
interests that have long found their
greatest gains in American markets.
The note of alarm sounded by the most
influential journals of Europe should
| suggest to our people something of the
real character and significance OF this
congress, for it is not to be assumed shat
the alarm came unprompted from the
editors who have proclaimed it.

hension of the statesmen and the 60 m

exaggerated, but when the proportions

of the efficacy of the treatment employed by
these theorists.
About year and II half ago MIR. Evans
oldest daughter, Miss Bertha, was afflicted
with what is known as the German measeis.
She became a confirmed invalid and the dis
ease balIled the skill of Omaha's best physi.
clans. About a month ago Mr.. Evans be-
came convinced that his daughter could not

and, as the physicians of the city could do
nothing for her, he decided to allow her to
receive treatment from the Christian

had no faith IN the science at the time he
agreed TO II trial OF its merits.
The young lady was removed TO Council
Bluffs and placed in the hands of MIR. Elliott,

ton, for treatment. She began to improve
rapidly, and Will soon be able TO return home.

WITHIN the next three weeks the
Union Pacific will have absolute con-
troll OF railroad system from Omaha to
Portland, Ore, together with import
ant branches in Montana and Washing
ton territory. This is due to a lease made
by the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company to the Oregon Short line,
under the terms of which the latter
company agrees to pay six per cent per
annum on the stock of the former cor
poration. 1t is thought that under the
new Arrangement the affairs of both
companies can be more economically
conducted and better profits realized.
The system is already earning sur
plus oyer it's fixed charges. and under
this arrangement the Union Pacific
proper will be released from any obli-
cation on account Of it's western lines.
With such extra facilities for compe-
tltion with the Northern and Central
Pacific roads the Union Pacific may add
to its gross and net earnings, which are
at present said to be larger than at any
previous time during its history.

THE DISTRICT JuDGESHIP.

The bar of this city, which practically
means the bar of the district, has des-
ignated their preference for successor
of Judge Croft. Their choice has fallen
upon Mr.. Joseph II. Clarkson, whose
standing rs a citizen and as an attorney
is unimpeachable. While Mr.. Clark
son is not Il professional politician, he is
and always has been staunch republi-
can. 1t is conceded on all hands that
Mr.. Clarkson is eminently qualified for
the district bench, and his popularity
with the bar attests that he is respected
by his professional associates.
The bench of this district has up to
this time inspired confidence and re-
spect. Our judges, from Lake to Croft,
have been men of character and unques
toned integrity. The precedent here
tofore established to endorse by nom
partisan popular vote the choice Of the
bar, should be adhered to in the choice
of successor of Judge Croft. Any
attempt to repudiate this choice should
be discouraged and discountenanced.
The democratic party cannot con-
sistently refuse to endorse Mr.. Clarkson,
without repudiating its leaders in this
district, who have always proclaimed
their willingness to divide the district
judgeships with the republican party.
The republicans cannot afford to with
hold endorsement of Mr.. Clark
son without stultifying themselves and
seriously impairing the success of their
county ticket. Mr.. Clarksou will not
cease to be a republican by having the
endorsement of the democrats, and any
attempt to foist any other candidate
upon republicans, would only be throw
ing a fre-brand to disrupt the party.
All the talk about ignoring the
| claims of candidates i'll other counties
is mere rot. Judge Croft was an Omaha
man and his successor very properly
will be an Omaha man. With ninety
| per cent OF the business and fifteen
times the population in this district
Douglas county is fairly entitled to three
out of the four judges. When Judge
Hopewell's term expires it will be time
enough for aspirants in Burt, Sarpy and

THE CORN ,SERPETS

There is a deluge of suggestions and
a paucity OF practical means offered the
farmers of the west just now as TO the
best plan for profitably disposing of the
corn surplus. The present condition of
the market does not encourage the
hope of high prices. In fact, the ten
dency is to lower prices, and by the time
the new crop begins to move, prevail
ing prices are likely to fall to II point
which will make it Improbable to ship.
The latest statistics place the crop
in Nebraska at one hundred
and seventy-five million bush
els, or an average of thirty-eight
bushels to the acre. This is substan-
tial increase over the crop of 1883. If
we add the product of Kansas and Iowa,
the total reaches the enormous figure of
seven hundred and sixty million bush
els. Statistics from other great corn
producing states, such rs Missouri, Illi-
nois, Ohio and Indiana, and from states
producing less than one hundred mil
lion bushels, place the crop of corn in
the country at over two and quarter
billion bushels, an increase of two hun
dred and eighty million bushels over
the crop of 1888.
Unless prevailing conditions radically
change, this enormous increase in the
corn crop will seriously affect the mar
ket price. There is no prospect
of an increase in the European demand
and farmers must look to home chan
nels for relief. Eastern farmers have
no great difficulty to contend with in
reaching markets and obtaining a re-
muneratlve price, but in Nebraska and
other sections OF the west the profit on
cornis absorbed in reaching market.
The present price OF old corn through
out the state will hardly average
twenty cents n bushel. Assuming that
thirty-eight bushels is the average pro-
duction per acre, one hundred acres
means seven hundred and sixty doll ars.
No one can say that this meagre sum is
a fair return on the money and labor in
va sted.
1t is useless to talk Of factories as an
avenue of relief. Even if score
of them could be built and put in opera
tion this winter, the amount they
would consume would scarcely make an
Omaha daily bee., 1889-10-01

impression on the total. There are
other and more direct means by which
western farmers can turn their corn to
profitable account, and the principal
one is to turn itinto beef and pork. The
profits derived from corn-fed stock are
too we'll known to require an explaua-
tion. 1t has been one OF the chief
sources of profit to our farmers since
the establishment OF convenient home
markets
Conditions are extremely favorable to
this method Of disposiug of the surplus
crop. The destructive summer drought
which lightened the ranges of Mon
tana, northern Wyoming and portions
OF Colorado will undoubtedly glut the
market with range stock and force
prices far below those now prevailing.
Stockmen In these sections have no
other avenue of escape. The grass on
the ranges was scarcely sufficient to
support the herds, and they are not in
condition TO stand the rigors OF n severe
winter, which is generally expected.
There are fifteen million dollars in
vested in stock in Montana alone, and
every marketable animal will be
shipped out this fall. Advices from
other sections agree that the herds
will be reduced to the lowest possible
number, as the owners will not run the
risk of winter range feeding.
'It is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good" If Nebraska farmers take
advantage of this condition of
affairs, and purchase young stock
for winter feeding, it will go far
TO solve the surplus problem. The
present low price of beef on hoof in
sures substantial advance in the
spring, and with the increased weight
which proper feeding will produce,
farmers would realize handsomely on
the investment.

The county commissioners received Il let

tect of the county hospital, asking for fur
ther information in regard TO the point on
which his opinion is desired by the board.
Superintendent Coots wrote lengthy letter,
explaining The matter III detail. The diff
Guilty, in brief is this: There is no sewer in
the vicinity of the hospital, the nearest being
about three quarters of mile, and it is de-
sired to adopt some system for disposing OF
the sewage from the building. The plu NIB
ing work is nearly completed, but the
sort of sewerage to conGect with. This wi

ever as the pipes are all in and the plaster
