WESTERN PETROLEUM DETGs!TS'
At about the same time the development
of The petroleum deposits west Of us was
earnestly urged. On this subject let the
reader peruse the following editorial from
The Bee Of November II, 1871:
THE petroleum trade In this country is
exhibiting Q most remarkable growth in the
past ten yeafs. While IN 1860 IT was diff
cult to find a market for O,0OO.O 600 gallons.
the demand for export in the past year has
exceeded lao, 900, 600 gallons and Is appar-
emily still increasing. More than 5000 wells
are In operation in the Pennsylvania oil
regions, yielding a product of about 1000
barrels per day. That petroleum in great
quantities will eventually be exported from
Wyoming, Colorado and Utah there Is no
good reason to doubt. There are a number
Of flowing oil wells in the vicinity Of Fort
Bridgcr and on the Sweetwater which clearly
indicate that petroleum will ultimately be
productive of more wealth I'm that country
than is now anticipated from the richest
silver mines in Utah by sanguinc operators
in mining stocks"

IMMIGRANT wanted to Come nnd
urIp Develop Western Country.
Both labor and capital have been IIeCoG-
sary for the development Of the great west.
The Zee has advocated the Encouragement
of well !ntenti1nad immigrants to co'1e TO
this country and help IN The settlement OF
the frontier. An 5sipn Of lis views
on the question OF immigration was made
December Z, 1871, in me following Ian
guage:
Among the various recommendations in
President Grants message few, ptiEaps,
are more important than that requesting
congressional legislation for the projection
Of immigrants. quite apart from the aliases
and outrages Commits upon immigrants
at Castle Garden and similar landing places
in the various harbors on the Atianti" coast,
they are. 1t is we'll known, subjected to I'M
posture and swindling by bogus ticket
agents, land g%rabbers and, in fact, The en-
tire horde of vampires VINO infest the high
ways and byways over which immiBl ants
are most likely 10 travel. rhe b-siness of
abusing the credulity AMI taking advantage
OF the ignorance OF national habits and
prejudices of .hese su-rallcd Erecnhorns
has of late been reduced to a perfect science
and nothing less than very strict congress
siOnal enactment Will serve to suppress
these outrages. President Grants attention
has been checrfully directed to this subject
from the elaborate report on immigration
and its value to the country by Mr.. Young
of the National Bureau of Statistics. Mr..
Young, after comparison with a recent re-
port of Hon. Frederick Cobb of New York,
whose report is the best authority in the
United States on this subject, estimates
the average value of each immigrant at
$500. This would make the total value of
the immigrants to this country since the
organization of the government Sc, 243, 092,-
600. Carefully kept records show that each
immigrant brings with him about $50 in
cash. and with an annual immigration of
300, 900 persons the enormous sum of $751;
600, 900. 1t is estimated that the Germans
alone bring nearly 81 ,O00, 900 every year.
The protection of such a vast source of
national wealth, aside from our humani-
tartan views. is therefore certainly worthy
of the most careful consideration, not only
of the general government. but of every
state DESTROYS of securing the benefits of
immigration"

MUNICIPAL REFOR VI.
More economics and Honest City
government Regularly Demanded.

More Economical and Honest City
Government Regularly Demanded.
In municipal politics The Bee has always
stood for the economical administration of
city affairs by honest city officials. 1t has
worked early and late for municipal reform.
What it said about municipal reform in
March, 1872, is as pertinent now as then:
I'VE presume there is not an individual
in Omaha outside of the twelve apostles
who sit in our city council satisfied with
the manner in which our municipal affairs
are being conducted. In the past twelve
months parsimony has taken the place of
judicious economy, and old-fogyism of great
landed proprietors in the city council has
cloggei the wheels of progress in every
direction until Omaha presents a wretched
spectacle of dilapidation only equaled by an
old Virginia town at the close of the south
ern rebellion. This state of affairs may be
attributed to two distinct causes. First,
the members of the council eighteen months
ago framed a new charter. as voluminous as
the Mosaic law, for which the Tribune COM
pany received 5000 for printing, and which
was unceremoniously rejected by the legis-
lature. The charter was ingeniously framed
to confer almost unlimited powers on the
council. 1t would. If adopted, have caused
at least so per cent more expenses to the
city. 1t authorized the council to spend any
amount under 500. 900 without consulting
the people, and no doubt Chicago would
under that charter have received 500, 900 in
stead of S., 900 from Omaha Qor Chicago fire
suffcrers).
Influences over which the people have
no control have operated in destroying the
vitality of the aged and decrepid gentlemen
who are now pretending to govern the city
OF Omaha. In consequence we have had a
loose administration in every direction. In
stance the position of the council toward the
affected suppression of the lottery swindle
and kindred institutions. Instance the sur
render of the city library to a private cor
poration without taking an inventory, and
the dangerous economy of attempting to
sell one OF the steam fire engines. In the
name of a large majority OF the people, who
are tired OF this imbecility. we demand a
radical reform In our municipal affairs. We
demand that the republican city convention
shall adopt a platform embracing these re-
forms in our municipal administration Let
each candidate pledge himself to carry out
these measures. Let us repeal existing or
dinances or enforce them. We desire it dis
tinctly understood that we shall oppose any
candidate on the republican ticket who is
not an earnest and honest ADVOCATE OF these
reforms. The interests of our city are, in
our opinion, more important than any parti-
san consideration in a municipal admins
tration."
