Summing Up the Situation.

The presidents remark at the iron foun-
dries in Milwaukee that the employer is
now looking for the laborer and not the la
borer for the employer" sums up the indus
trial situation tereely and truthfuly. The
democratic conditions of 1897 have gone
out and the republican conditions have come
in. 1t is the mill owners and the great
employers in general who are doing the hus-
tling in these days. Everybody who wants
work can get it. Many workers have more
work than they can attend to. Contracts
in the iron and steel industries have been
Cancelled in many places in the past three
months, according to reports, because of the
lack OF men to perform them. These are
the conditions which are going to make the

A CAMPAIGN FOR OMAHA

Omaha must consider and dispose of
population can touch the 100000 peg,
to-wit:
This city must have railroad rates and
train service into northwest Iowa, South
Dakota, Wyoming and all tributary ter
ritory as low or lower and as direct and
prompt as the facilities accorded to any
other distributing center.
This city must make it possible for
manufacturers to secure, the year round,
fuel or power at Il cost as low as prices
enjoyed by our commercial rivals.
This city must encourage every eff
fort to secure good roads and tramways
leading to its suburbs and the villages
and towns within a radius of fifty miles.
This city must not permit the project
for II giant canal power plant to be de-
layed. Cheap power alone would make
Omaha one of the greatest manufactur-
ing cities west Of Chicago.
This city must not fail to appreciate
the importance of the federal census
and the bearing it will have upon our
future growth Every possible aid
should be extended to the enumerators.
This city must pay heed to the impor-
tant matter of local taxation. A low
tax rate is a standing invitation to in
vestOrs.
The election will soon be a thing of
the past and then our citizens can take
up the campaign for Omaha and fight
it out on that line If it takes all winter.

The complaints of the leather men at
Woburn because of the action of the trusts
in closing down certain factories and shops
have attracted public notice. but months ago
comment was made in these columns ON the
fact that quite number of manufacturing
establishments were being closed every
month in Massachusetts, and that the total
number of persons thrown out Of employ
ment must be far larger than the public had
come to understand. Nest Of the shutdowns
SO far, however, have been in places much
smaller than Woburn-in little, almost iso-
lated communities, whence news rarely gets
to metropolitan journals. In such cases the
cessation of work implies a blow to the

A still, small railroad voice pipes up

A still, small railroad voice pipes up
the tune of arbitrate in reference to the
squabble between the Burlington road
and the boycotting shippers of Kansas
City. 1t is proposed that Omaha name
one arbiter, the railroad one and Kan
sas City a third one. In our opinion it
is not the province of Omaha to take
the initiative in a movement for arbitra-
tion in this case, and this city could
expect to figure in the arbitration only
upon invitation of the contestants. To
a man up Il tree it would seem that
Omaha has not yet won n place In the
fight, which can be settled at any time
to our injury if the contestants should
agree upon a compromise. Omaha has
done Il whole lot of talking about the
matter, but has not made itself felt TO
any great extent. The Burlington road
is entitled to Omaha's active support in
this contest, but there seems to be no
one competent to lead the fight.

America will keep the cup which rep
resents the supremacy of its yacht
builders and yachtsmen until some
more successful challenger than Sham
rock puts in an appearance.
The races between Columbia ana
Shamrock have each and every one of
them shown the unmistakable superior
ity of the American vessel which has
come out victorious in each successive
trial. by winning three straight races
Columbia has sustained the American
prestige without falling behind any of
its predecessors. The British challenger
must yield the palm with the full
knowledge that he has been beaten in
u fair race in which he was accorded
every privilege demanded by true
sportsmen's etiquette.
That satisfaction in the result will be
general throughout this country goes
without saying, although that result is
what all competent observers have eN-
pected and predicted The British chal-
leuger will return home without the
cup, but with the well wishes of all
the American people who have admired
the qualities displayed by him in the
friendly contest
Whenever Great Britain produces n
yacht which it thinks able to redeem
the cup trophy America will be ready
to defend the title and ask no favors.

Having been cOrnered and forced to
fish or cut bait, Candidate William
Neville finally comes out and admits
that he himself and not his brother
James, wrote the letter to the Nebra ska
Independent advocating the retention
of the Philippines. He seeks to explain
by saying that in so doing he did not
commit himself to a colonial policy and
tries to establish consistency between
his declaration last December and his
rampant anti.expansion speeches during
the present campaign. Judge Neville
confesses to everything with which he
is charged. The question is simply
whether the people of the Sixth district
want to be represented in congress by
man who must be confronted with his
own handwriting before he will admit
the sentiments he has publicly eX-
pressed and who changes his mind every
time the wind shifts.

Not to mince matters, it may be as.
serted as a positive fact, susceptible of
proof, that George Shields does not pos.
sess legal ability to a degree fitting him
for place on the district bench. No
public prosecutor in recent times has
made as many stupid blunders in the
trials of criminals as has Shields. In
other words, if Shields hasn't got sense
enough to be an efficient prosecutor
how much less is he fitted for Il place
on the district bench?

No better argument could possibly be
advanced for the improvement of the
interior waterways of the country than
the advance of freight rates by
the railroads which occurs every year
as the close of navigation on the great
lakes and canals draws near. While
the closing is still some time off boats
have contracted all the freight they can
move between now and the close of the
season. Railway freights to and from
she seaboard are consequently stiffened.
