ANOTHER STORY on THE o,vrt

".
Everybody Is familiar with the story
OF the camel that wanted to warm his
nose under the Arabs tent. The camel,
ii Will be remembered, first inserted his
nose, then his head, then his neck then
his shoulders, then his hump and finally
found himself inside the tent. This
Is the same process by which the subsi-
died land grant railroads are trying to
possess themselves of n title in fee
simple OF every acre of land which
they have managed to get their hands
on, whether included in the original
land grant or not.
The nose of the railroad camel was
inserted under Uncle Sans tent when
the Burlington bill was railroaded
through congress for the relief of the
innocent purchaser. This looked very
innocent TO many members of congress,
but it was a very ingenious scheme to
legalize 200,OO0-acre land grab which
had been exposed by that very bold,
bad man, Commissioner Sparks, when
he was at the head of the land office.
No sooner had the Burlington bill
been enacted and approved when the
head of the camel appeared in the
shape of a bill to grant similar privi-
lege to the Union Pacific railroad, which
had preferred to forego part of its land
grant in the semi-arid and arid region
rather than take out patents and pay
taxes upon it. And now the hump of
the camel has followed briskly in the
shape of bill relieving the Northern
Pacific from all its charter obligations
with regard to taking out land patents
within limited period at the risk of
forfeiture and the restoration of the
lands to homestead entry.
If these bills for the relief Of the poor
farmer and innocent purchaser go
through congress, they will in due time
be followed by a general act repeating
all the restrictions previously enacted
for the protection of the public domain,
and millions upon millions of acres of
subsidy lands that have rightly reverted
to the government will be absorbed by
the syndicates that are reorganzing the
insolvent railroads for the benefit of the
poor bondholder and the innocent stock
jobber
1t may not be worth while at this
stage of the camel's progress to raise
any fuss about saving the tent-pole, but
it is not out of place to make a note of
1t in the interest of future students of
land grant history.

IN THE FOURTH DISTRICT.

Clay Center Sun (rep): Some OF those
who are trying to turn Haner down believe
that he is head and shoulders above any
other man in the district for the position,
and they know he has left no duty unper-
formed. His only offense is that when the
roll of statesmen is called at st. Louis he
wants to hear the name of Nebraska man.
Geneva Journal rep). Colby of Gage and
Pope of Saline both want to be nominated az
Haner's successor and are publicly proclaim
Ing the fact and n. V. Harlan Of York Is in
the hands IF his friends as usual. Both
Colby ard Harlan have already had the pleas
ure of getting scalped in a congressional
scrimmage. The voters of the district would
hardly be willing to trade Hainer for any Of
them.
York Times (rep): The Times does not
believe there will be any opposition to speak
of to the denomination OF Mr.. Halner in this
district. He has been one of the strongest
members Of congress and can do much more
for his constituency another term than he
has been able to do in the past. He is now
familiar with all the intricate details Of con-
gresgional work and the fact of its being his
third term will add considerably to his influ-
cnce with his constituents. So far as his
position on the question of presidential can
didates is concerned, we feel sure the people
of this district will allow him what they
claim for themselves-the right to support
whomsoever his conscience and judgment
may dictate. He is hard worker and good
fighter. and commands the respect even of
his political enemies.
Geneva journal (rep): There are two
things the Journal hopes to see the Fourth
district convention do at York on the even
ing of April 9-instruct the two delegates
from this district to St Louis for Mckinley
and renominate Congressman Hainer. Our
reasons for the first have been fully stated

THE VENEZUELA CASE.

Chicago Times Herald: The American
Venezuela boundary commission has reached
a decision adverse to the pretensions of Great
Britain. This, 1t is true, does not neces-
sarily end the controversy. All possibility
of war as a means to end 1t long since passed
away, and while the judgment Of the Ameri-
can commissioners may not formally be ac-
cepted by Great Britain, 1t renders arbtra-
tion the only reasonable alternative.

headed by Justice Brewer has virtually

FOR CONGRATULATIONS


In the debate in the house of repre-
sentatives on the bill for preventing
| and Furnishing frauds on the customs
| revenues, through undervauations Mr..
Grow of Pennsylvania said that the
sure and certain mode to prevent
fraudulent invoices on foreign importa-
tons is by specific duties in the tariff
and on all articles upon which it is not
practicable to have Il specific duty only,
then by combining specific duty with
! an ad valorem duty would reduce in
part the inducement for false invoic-
ing. The proposed legislation will prob
| ably have a good effect. 1t has re-
| ceived very careful consideration from
| the ways and means committee and is
probably as good Il measure as could
be devised for the purpose. But no
legislation will be a complete remedy
for frauds through undervaluations so
long as the system of ad valorem duties
prevails and we believe this fact to be
now so generally realized that even
were the democratic party to be given
another chance at the tariff it would
abandon it's policy in this particular
and adopt specific duties.
1t is impossible to know to what eX-
tent the national treasury has been de-
frauded under the present tariff but
the amount of its loss has been very
large, probably at least one-third of the
total deficit since the law went into
operation. On sugar alone it is esti-
mated that undervaluation has cost
the treasury S10,0O0,0OO or $12,OOO,OOO,
and the loss from undervaluatons of
cotton and woolen goods has been
heavy According to the statistics, the
country is not importing any more
goods, taking the invoiced value, than
it was three years ago, but there is
no doubt if it We're not for the under
valuations it would be shown that i'm
portations are very considerably in ex-
cess of three years ago. 1t is probably
not far from correct to say that If the
dutiable merchandise imported under
the present tariff had been fairly valued
the total would amount to not far from
S1O0,OO0,000 more than the statistics
show, which means loss to the treas
ury of possibly $25,OOO,O0O. This is
pretty large sum to pay for democratic
devotion to the ad valorem system of
duties, against which the republicans
in the last congress made an earnest
fight, pointing out just what has been
experienced. But the arguments of the
republicans and the example of other
nations were without avail.
AS it is impracticable to change from
ad valorem to specific duties without
making n general revision of the tariff
except as to sugar, the duty on which
ought to be made specific-the only
thing the present congress can do is
to enact such legislation for prevent
ing fraud as the ways and means com
mittee proposes. The bill framed by
the committee is great improvement
on the existing law regulating the col
lection of duties, but it Is not to be ex-
pected that it will prove a complete
remedy against the fraud it is de-
signed to correct.
