PLUNGLNG INTO THE POLITICAL PUDDLE
Success, even in a moderate way, has
a tendency to swell some peoples heads
and make them long for new worlds to
conquer. This is again forcibly illus
trated by the ill-advised effort Of the
Omaha Real Estate exchange to project
itself into the political arena by a plunge
into the police commission puddle.
Public sentiment, created by an un-
divided press, enabled the Real Estate
exchange to launch a successful move
ment for municipal tax reform in
Omaha. The campaign for tax reduc-
ton through more equitable assessments
vac perfectly legitimate and in line
with the aims and purposes of the Real
Estate exchange. The depreciation In
the price OF Omaha realty was largely
due to excessive taxation and the low
ering OF the tax rate would cause a cor
responding rise in realty values and
tend to stimulate capitalists to invest
in Omaha property.

ince OF the Auditorium association or
the Elks lodge. Ostensibly police COM
missions are presumed to be non-parti-
san; in reality they are strictly politi-
cal Upon that rock other overambi-
tious organizations have been stranded.
If the Real Estate exchange foolishly
confirms the well-dehned rumor that
it's most active leaders have political
axes to grind its influence and useful
ness is sure to be destroyed within a
very short time.
To be sure, every good citizen is in
terested in good government Every
citizen has an i~nalienable right indi-
vidually to lombard the governor with
advice or remonstrance in connection
with the impending appointment of a
new police board, but the Real Estate
exchange as a commercial body would
scarcely be justified in making frantic
appeals 10 the governor to make his
choice from its own list of membership
or from the membership Of any other
commercial organization.

AMERICAN EMIGRATION TO CANADA.

ASAN ~
The recent large emigration from the
United States to Canada has attracted
q good deal of attention. 1t is noted
that in 1898 fewer than 10000 Amer
leans crossed the border, while this
year It Is estimated that out Of a total
immigration into western Canada of 50,-
600, the United States contributes 10000.
A correspondent of the New York Even
ing Post say it has been predicted that
we shall soon be pouring Americans
into Canada at the rate Of 100000 a
year. as we have 80 long been pouring
them into our WI northwest under a
similar economic stimulation-the agri-
cultural possibilities of western Canada.
raised as much wheat as North Dakota
and with the three territories of Al
berta, Saskatchewan and Assiniboia,
produced 100000 bushels. The same
section will produce this year $4,000. 900
bushels, or about the yield of Minnesota.
The railroads to this portion of the Do
minion are active in promoting its de-
velopment and it has within the past
year made notable progress.
There is some speculation as to the
ultimate effect which this emigration
may have upon the question of reciproc-
ity with Canada 1t is thought to be
highly probable that the Americans who
are settling In the western part of the
Dominion will in time become active
agitators in behalf of reciprocity, and 1t
is certainly reasonable to expect this,
as they will naturally want the Amer
lean market for their products. 1t is
also believed that there may be devel-
| oped in our own northwest a much
stronger sentiment than at present in
favor Of closer trade relations with our
Northern neighbor. There is not likely,
however. to be any marked movement
In this direction in the very near flu
ture, unless the question of reciprocity
| with Canada should become a subject
Of negotiation between the governments
sooner than there is now any indication
Of. The people who are going from
the northwest to Canada are of a class
that win push the development Of the
country and exert a good influence both
industrially and socially.

why the western Farmers Favor
Letting Well Enough Alone.


Baltimore American.
The director Of the United States mint,
Mr.. George Roberts. having Just returned
from a western trip and from a visit to
Iowa, declares that, while there is a fair
supply OF politics IN that region this sum-
mer, there is much more interest In the
crops. 1t Is dLnhcult to realize the wonder
full change that has taken place in agricul-
tural conditions through the greater part
Of the west within the past few years.
Bank accounts have taken the place OF
farm mortgages, better houses and barns
have been erected. better stock purchased.
and the farmers have become buyers as
we'll as sellers. Many OF them have added
new acres to their large farms, and even
a season that does not come up to ex-
pectations fails to cause those heavy losses
which were certain In the days when the
same farmers had hard work to keep their
property away from the hands OF the
sheriff.
Last season, owing to the corn shortage,
was not up to the average Of the past four
years, but as prices were high the farmers
who had any corn at all made money and
wound up the year with their finances
In good condition. Last year at this time
the whole west was suffering from a long
continued drouth, while this year there has
been too much rain and storms that have
swept over . large extent Of territory and
caused some severe losses. At the lame
time. unless the unexpected happens, a
corn and wheat yield above the average
can be looked for, and. with steady de-
mand. an assurance Of good prices. the
farmer feels sure OF a fair reward for his
years work.
In view Of this, II is no wonder that
politics is a secondary consideration in the
immense agricultural districts of the west.
The sentiment of a vast majority OF the
people is with the present administration,
and there is no desire for any revolution
in the national government. Bryan Is we'll
nigh forgotten, as these farmers, with rich
crops all about them, decline to believe
that, ss Bryan would tell them. they are
tho shackled slaves OF some great money
power that is ruling this government and
all connected with II. There are a number
of state elections to be held in the west
the coming fall, in addition to the election
Of congressman; so long before November
things political will become much lvelier
than they are at present Just now the
farmer Is thinking more about the harvest
than he is about politics. and 1t is far
better for him that this should be so.

Returning
Philadelphia Record.

Those who profess SO much concern about
immigration do not reflect that twenty
years ago, when the volume was as great
as It is now, there were few immigrants
who returned to their homes. Now nearly
every steamship returning to Europe car
ries back considerable numbers Of these
immigrants going home. some OF them for
a permanent stay. Through cheap steam
ship transportation the worlds intercourse
is increasing. to the great advancement Of
civilization.
