RANCE srocK Avn rms MARKET.

At present the stock ranges tributary
to this market are found in western
Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming,
Idaho, eastern Oregon and Washington,
Nevada and Utah. The ranges Of the
southwestern part OF Kansas send their
stock chiefly TO Klnsis City and that
market cuts into Colorado to Il certain
extent. In general, however, the terri-
tory named Is nearer TO Onlhn than 10
any other great market and what drifts
away from us in Kansas is %probtblv
made up by stock from the Black Hills
section. On these ranges, accord
ing to the census returns, there
are grazing 1,3lT,7S7 head OF
cattle, besides sheep, horses and
asses, which also contribute largely to
the Importance Of this market. In these
figures farm stock is not considered,
though IL forms no uncomfortable ele-
ment in the aggregate OF business trans
acted.
With all this mlgnificen mi tributary
region to draw from, our packers COM

100000 more each year than ranges
and farms can supply. The sheep market
is likewise short of the demand,
largely because the herds are grown
more for wool than mutton. The
immense area included in our tributary
region is a growing one and doubtless
each year will sea larger numbers Of
cattle offered for market. But we are
not reaching the best cattle ranges. We
ought to control Montana and New
Mexico and have an W chance with
competitors in western Texas, the
Pan Handle and Indian Territory. In
Texas and Indian Territory there are
2,775,6 53 cattle. In Montana and the
western part of the Dakotas there are
1852. In New Mexico the number
is almost equal to the aggre-
gate on the ranges which we
have classified as properly tributary to
this market. Arizona, which might eek

into relations with the Omaha stock
market and allowing but 1000, 900 for
that section there are ranges which
ought to be penetrated, now practically
shut out of Omaha, upon which there are
grazing at this time 3,500,0J0 cattle.
If figures will convince anybody of the
Importance of reaching out for
Montana on tho northwest and

Corn ~ EUROPE.

Some definite information ought to be
forthcoming as to the result of the ef-
forts to introduce corn in Germany as
food for the people. The special agent
Of the Agricultural department was sent
TO Berlin some months ago to present
this matter to the attention of the Ger
man government, and he has had the
earnest cooperation of the American
minister in carrying out his instructions.
1t would seem that by this time it
ought to be possible to arrive at n safe
conclusion as TO the chances of attaining
the object sought, and if so it is desir-
able that the country be informed re-
garding the outlook. If the prospect is
favorable the effect will be to stimulate
efforts to make the people of Europe. bet
ter acquainted with the merits Of corn,
md perhaps there will never be Il more
ausplcious time for doing this than the
present If the promise is not favor
able it will then become a question
whether it is worth while to
expend any considerable sum OF money,
either by the national government or
the corn states, To demonstrate the
value OF that cereal as food for man.
The farmers in the states constituting
the corn belt are taking "A deep interest
in the efforts making by the Agricul-
tural department to introduce corr to
the tables OF Europeans, and their infu-
euce will be exerted for legislation to
enable the department TO extend
its efforts, should there APP

that u bill will be introduced in congress
early in the session making ample APP
preparation and provisions for the gem
eral work of Introducing our corn in

would be no serious opposition to such
legislation. 1t is proper work for the
government to do, and there is small
probability that Is will eve BIO per-
formed unless taken hold Of by

have received little consideration, and

srLyER IN

1t is reported that those democratic
representatives who desire to keep the
silver question out of next years presi-
Dental campaign are proposing u ON
bination for that purpose. Their plan,
it is stated, is to organize the house of
representatives on an anti-silver basis
and secure the appointment of
u committee on coinage that will
prevent silver Legislation. Thi S move.
ment is being pushed by the eastern
democrats, who will, it is expected, get
the assistance Of democratic representa-
tives from the middle and western
states.
These democrats believe that their
party could make no more serious mis-
take than to commit itself to the policy
of the free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer, and in this view they are unques-
tionably correct, but will they be able to
convince their free coinage colleagues
OF the wisdom of their position. A
very large majority of the democratic
representatives elected last year were
pledged by the platforms to the support
of free coinage. They are rs fully com
mitted to this policy as they are to tariff
reform in the direction of free trade.
With possibly II few exceptions they be-
lieve it to be the correct policy and
therefore a proper one for the
party to espouse and stand by.
Will these men s~tultify themselves
and put aside their individual political
interests by disregarding the will of
their constituents to crafty a small mi
nority coming chiefly from states which
are naturally republican? 1t is hardly
reasonable to suppose that they will.
Believing firmly, as nearly all of them
do, that the country ought to have free
and unlimited coinage of silver, and hav-
ing their pledge to constituents to re-
deem, it is hardly likely hat they
will make the proposed concessions to a
combination embracing not more than
one-third of their number. According
to a canvas made by the projectors of
the proposed combination the number of
anti-free coinage democrats in the house
will not exceed e~ighty-one, the total
representation of that party and its ALI
ance allies being 2i3, thus giving a
majority of democrats in favor of
free coinage of 1852. There are
ei~ghty-nine republicans in the pres
ent house, and probably se~venty-fve of
these can be depended upon to vote
against free coinage, but these added to
the sound money democrats would still
be a minority. Besides, the republicans
are very likely to leave this question to
be settled by the democrats without
interference on their part, and there is
no valid reason why they should not
do SO.
Very little is, therefore, to be ex-
pected from the proposed combination.
A southern man will be elected speaker,
and all southern democrats are in favor
of free and unlimited coinage. The
speaker will undoubtedly be pledged to
make up his coinage committee with a
view to favoring hat policy. The
chances are largely in favor OF the pas
sage of a free coinage bill by the house,
and it is not improbable that such IL
measure would get through the senate.
The security of the country against such
legislation is in the veto power of the
president.

OPEN EOK DISCUSSION.

Mr.. Fred w. Gray very pertinently
calls attention to the wretched passen-
ger depot facilities of Omaha and the
depot company and the city of Omaha as
regards the completion of the proposed
union depot. The recent order
to cover the unfinished walls Of
the new station for the winter indicates
clearly enough that the company does
spring, and if the season con
tinues as it has SET out nothing
could be lone with the building even
ii the company was disposed to
complete it. The question that presents
itself is, what does the company ask of
the ctty before it will complete the pas
senger station now under construction,
for after all the building appears to
be only an ordinary railway station
such as may be found in hundreds of
American towns; and what doeS the city
demand of the company as a condition
precedent to the surrender of the depot
bonds and the quit claim deeds to the
depot grounds.
On these points full and free discus
sion is in order and THE BEE will hold
its columns open for all parties inter-
ested. While there is no urgency for
immediate action a discussion may
hasten the final settlement and give
Omaha n c%ommodious and respectable
union depot after patiently submitting
to the most ~aggravating and damaging
embargo upon travel for twenty years.

BuNGLIAG WORK or DETECTIVES.
Biundcrs of Sleuths Chasing After
Wisconsin Train Robbers.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 17.-Tho force OF
detectives which has been chasing train
robbers over Racine county for several days
did some very bungling work. For the last
three Gays they have been looking for only
two robbers, but yesterday an eye witness
was discovered who saw the robbery from
outside ana counted five men. This witness
is Mrs. fancher, wife of the farmer among
whose evergrcens a horse aud buggy were
found yesterday morning, which cxploies
the idea that only two men were engaged
in IL.
The shots fired by the robbers awakened
Mrs. Fancher who got out OF bed and looked
through the front window of her residence,
which is within thirty yards of whore the train
stopped. Mrs. Fancher is positive she saw
two men at the safes, one man jumping out OF
the shattered express car and two others
marching the engineer and fireman up the
track. Mrs. Fancher cal ed her husband,
who grabbed his musket aud was rushing
toward the front door. His wife, however,
threw herself in his path and appealed TO
him to put his gun away and stay indoors.
This story was corroborated by n farmer
named Foster who lives across the way from
the Fanchers. a railroad detective came in
last evening with two bottles filed with n
dynamite mixture and to which was attached
a fuse. These bottles he found within a few
yards of the scene of the robbery.

1T WAS not without n persistent and
hard struggle that the fight for n recog-
milton OF the American hog by France
was won, but perhaps for that reason the
recognition will be more enduring, and
at any rate it is none the less gratifying.
The opposition was vigorous and earnest,
but rs the voting showed it vas largely
in the minority, The real contest was
not upon the question of removing the
prohibition, because that was practically
determined some time ago, but upon the
proposition to reduce tie duty On salted
meats. The removal of prohibition
without reducing the duty would not
have resulted very much to our ad-
vantage, but us it Is we may reasonably
expect n considerable market for our pork
products in France. Thus has been
gained another valuable advantage
for American producers through
the efforts OF practical statesman
ship. What other administration in
our history did so much for the pro-
motion of the commercial prosperity OF
the country as has been done by the
present Administrations For the recog-
milton that tho American hog has re-
ceived in France, a great deal of credit
Is due to our minister, MIR. Whitelaw

We do not want to handy words with
Judge Doane or anybody else concerning
his recent Interpretation of the Slocumb
law as regards publication of notices by
applicants for license. An appeal will
be taken to the supreme court and that
tribunal will settle the matter. Suffice
it to say that Judge Doane as an attor-
ney gave his well matured written
opinion in 1881, within IA few
months after the act was passed by
tho legislature TO the effect that in
Douglas county the publication must be
made in the daily paper having the
largest circulation six days II week dur
ing two consecutive weeks to make the
notice valid. This written opinion was
placed before the license board, which at
that time consisted of Mayor James f..
Boyd, City Clerk Jewett and the
president OF the council. The only
euson why this matter was not
pressed to a decision by the courts was
because there was "a manifest disposition
to disregard every provision of the law
and the validity of the whole act was
being tested in the courts.
THE BEE has nc disposition to criti-
else Judge Doane for reversing his
former opinion, but it does not propose
to allow its motives to be impugned by IA
hypocritical imposter who has been
playing a confidence game upon appli-
cants for license as he has upon the adj
vertising public generally by perjured
aflidavits gotten up to bolster a ticti-
