THE OYSTER QUESTION.

The BEACoN's article upon the
"Oyster Question" wherein We COM
mented upon the Baltimore Aneri.
cans editorial advocating the leas.
ing the oyster grounds of the State,
is the subject OF leader in the
Enterprise of the 29th, ultimo.
Among other things the Enterprise
said:
fsIn the first instance the Balti-
more american is owned hv demo:
conducted as D nnanclaI investment
and, il we mistake not, some Of its
stock holders are interested in oys-
ter-planting, SO that it would plain
ly appear that instead of voicing the
sentiments of republican leaders,
1t is rather voicing the sentiment of
its own pocket book, which is the
pocket book of democratic as well
as republican capitalists.
Besides, is it not a significant
fact that the republican state plat
form declares against ''any system
OF sale or leasing of the natural
oyster ground or bars" while the
State democratic platform is silent
on the subject?"
In our article we stated that the
american was the State organ of
the Republican party and was pre-
sumed to voice the sentiments of
the Republican leaders. We know
little of the ownership of the Amer-
team, but We do know that as far as
our memory runs it has been con-
sidered the leading Republican
paper in Maryland and recent de-
velopments do not show that it has
lost any of its influence. It's edi-
tor stands high in the councils of
the Republican party, its Office is
the centre Of Republican informa-
ton in Baltimore and it has lately
been published that Mr.. Vannort,
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, after consultation with Re-
puoiican leaders, IN the Ansrscan
Office, sent therefrom his famous
dispatch to Mr.. Wescott demanding
that gentleman's declination of the
Craftsmanship of the Republican
State Central Committee. These
are facts known of all men and they
show the Americans Republican
standing. And recent events 60 to
prove that, the Republican candi-
date for Governor derives much of
bis inspiration from the Americag
and the lights that cluster round it.
As to the charge Of the Enter
prise that the Americans position
on the question is governed by its
pocket-book only, we have nothing
to say. The american is the pro-
per party to answer that.
We grant that the Republican
State platform does declare against
the leasing of the oyster bars. The
BEACON has not yet questioned the
sincerity of its declaration nor to
our knowledge has any other DEM
ocratic paper. The attack upon
this plank of the platform comes
from the house of its friends.
We also grant that the estate
Democratic platform is silent on the

hall, the Omaha Medical college and
half a dozen less important educational
institutions are already in successful OPP
GRAFTON. Seymour park Is the site of
proposed theological seminary which
will be uuGer the auspices OF tho Pres
byterian church. Bishop Newman is
authority for the statement that at no
distant day the Methodists will estab-
lish the medical department Of their
Wesleyan university now located at Lin
coin in Omaha. Hon. j. NJ. Woolworth
has long planned the establishment here
of a boys preparatory school to be dt-
rected by the Episcopal church.
A most gratifying feature of al these
commendable enterprises is that the
funds for their endowment have largely
come from the generous wealth of citi-
zens of Omaha or persons with large in
terests who have formerly resided in
this city. The late Edward Creighton
was the founder of Creighton college
and he gave to the institution u princely
endowment. Hon. II. L. Clarke is the
father and patron of Bellevue college
Herman Kountze donated Brownell Hall
its magnificent site on South Tenth street
and added generous gifts of cash
toward the construction of its beautiful
building. To DR.. George l.. Miller, the
Presbyterans are indebted for twenty
acre tract at Seymour park for their
theological seminary, The Omaha
medical college is strictly an Omaha
institution built up from Omaha capital,
and conducted by Omaha professors.
Augustus Kountze resided in Omaha in
early days, and erected the lovely home
in which his brother Herman has re-
sided so many years, and he has large
interests here. These are the begin
nings, which will be followed by other
gifts for religious, educational and char
liable objects as the city increases, and

ALLIANCE, Neb., May 2S 1t has now been
discovered that the man who burned the
ranch Of Bill Watkins. the stocknan and
beef contractor whose troubles in connection
with cattle stealing from Wyoming arc well
known, was Felix James, who was the fore
man of the Watkins cattle outfit, and who is
badly wanted in Wyoming for deep compile
ity in the cattle stealings for which Mckin-
ney and kingen have been convicted in the
Cheyenne, Wyo., courts. About a month
since, james, who has been in hiding from
the officers, male his appearance at the Wat
kins home ranch, a short distance from ALI
ance, aud demanded mouer OF Bill Watkins.
The demand of james was refused, and a
bitter quarrel ensucd between the two men,
at the cessation of which James left.
That night James visited Alliance secretly
and seJ on fire the Watkins slaughter house.
He then, on the next night. burned down tho
houses on the Watkins home ranch and n
lew nights afterwards, he fired the buildings
on the Watkins Indian creek ranch.
James was determined that the flames
should do their appointed work, and use.

Old Mortimer Shot 10 Relieve Him of
His Misery,

New YORK, May 2S.-Oid Mortimer is dead
He was lead out like soldier and shot. For
over year he has been an invalid and it was
to put an end to his misery that Mr.. Withers
permitted him to be destroyed Mortimer
was twentysix years old and died fun of
honors On the race course and in the stud
he was one of the greatest horses of this cen
tury. Pierre Lorillurd imported him about
twelve years ago, buying him of Count La-
Grange for S25, 900. He ran forty-eight races
in his career on the French, German and
English turf, winning twenty-six of them.
He would win at six furiongs today and at
two and one-half miles tomorrow, and was
up to any weight, 40 pounds being only n
steadier for him. His career is Il romantic
one. 1t came near being the cause of inter
national dispute. At the breaking up of the
Racocas stud Mortimer became the property
OF Mr.. Withers at Brookdale He was the
sire of many well known race horses, tho
most conspicuous in recent years being Exile.
When at the height of his fame Mortimer
was pronounced by Admiral Rous seven
pounds the best horse in training in the
world. 1t was that declaration that induced
Mr.. Lorillard to buy him.

FACTS AGAINs r THEORIES.

1t is interesting TO observe how gem
orally, in economic affairs, facts con-
founC theories. This has been con-
spicuously the case in recent experience.
Perhaps at no other period in the his
tory of the country was there such
volume of evil prophecy, backed by such
an array of plausible theories, as was
made in connection with the passage of
the new tariff law The people were
told that this legislation would inaugur-
ate an era Of monopolistic ex-
action altogether unprecedented, that
the commerce of the country
would suffer. and that numerous ills
would flow from it, all conspiring to re
tard progress and curtail prosperity In
all candor it must now be confessed that
not one of these prophecies has been YER
flied, and if the prosperity of the coun-
try is not quite up to the standard to be
desired the fact is due to conditions
wholly independent of the tariff. Can
there be any doubt that if the crops of
last year had been up to an average in
amount the country would now be real
izing au almost unprecedented pros
perity?
The statistics of the foreign trade of
the country for six months under the
new tariff are interesting. They show
that the tariff does notsuppress imports,
as it was claimed it would, the fact being
that they have increased 1t was in
sisted that the higher duty on wool
would be prohibitory and would result
in great injury to the domestic manufac-
ture. but the effect has been the very OPP
posite of this. During the six months
the American demand for foreign wool
increased more than 45 per cent,
and the manufacture was so
stimulated that besides ex-
haustiug more closely than usual the
dom ,stic supply it was able to take a
little more largely than before of every
form Of foreign wool, while of the grade
used in fine clothing the importation5
more than trebled. OF certain articles
the supply from abroad was materially
reduced, the manufacture of such
articles here being proportionately in
creased, obviously to the benefit of home
labor. That prices of articles affected
by the tariff have not been generally or
apprcciably advanced every buyer
knows. Reference is made to
these facts not by way OF vim
dicating the tariff, but simply to
illustrate the Importance of economical
theories, There is no reason to suppose
that the experience of the next six
months will be essentially ditferent from
that OF the first six under the present
tariff law, and if it shall not be it will
very effectively dispose of much of the
hostility to the law. Facts furnish, in
matters of this nature, the only con-
elusive and invulnerable argument, and
fair-minded men must concede that thus
far they are not adverse to the present
tariff
Omaha daily bee., 1891-05-29
4 spEcINEN COUNTY

Nebraska is Acknowledged by all who
are familiar with her resources to be
the best agricultural state in the union.
Her situation is exactly right to profit
by the traffic and products OF the great
business belt of this nation. A single
crop at fair prices lifts her people from
financial depression to prosperity. The
last year has been specially trying to her
farmers, but in spite OF failures OF crops
and unremunerative prices her people
have been exceptionally prosperous in
the older counties and only temporarily
embarrassed in the less populous sec
tions.
An investigation made into tho fnan-
cial status OF the people of Fremont and
Dodge county reveals most gratifying
condition of affairs Dodge is a speci-
men county and the showing made is
we'll worthy OF consideration, especially
by people in the newer counties whose
successive adversities have perhaps led
10 some discouragement.
The twelve banks of this county nave
on deposit in their banks TO tho credit of
nor citizens the handsome sum of 81 1885,
IA. The people of Fremont and incor-
porated towns number 10000 souls and
their deposits amount to 1886, ,464, an
average of $50 per capita. The farming
population is 5000 and these
tillers of tho soil now have balances
in the banks aggregatng $500, Isl,
an average of 81 per capita. The
average to each individual throughout
the county is S76. 40. The total volume
OF the circulating medium of the country
is but $2l per capita. In other words
Dodge county citizens can draw their
checks for more than three times the
average per capita of money in the
union.
Dodge is not the wealthiest county in
the state. She has but one city of any
consequence, and that is Fremont. She
has no large wage earning class and no
extensive manufacturing establishments
to swell her volume of trade and increase
her bank figures. She is to all interests
and purposes an agricultural community.
Fer prosperity is IL fair measure of that
of other counties of like situation and
conditions. Dodge is merely n good
specimen county and an example of what
steady attention to business has done
and will do again for any county with
good railway facilities and excellent
soil
