As long na railway man- agers depend upon it to serve the public they a8 weil as the public will be imposed upon, Tur Ilerald, upon whose mendation Postmaster Morgan, Kearnoy, was appointed, comes to his defense, and with a refresh ing audaclty asserts that republicans are responsible for the mitmansgament of Mr. Morgan's office. Even if trae, this assortlon is no defense whatever. Dr. Miller and the democratlc adminlatration aro responsible for Mr. Morgen's ap- polntment, and Mr. Morgan Is responsl- ble for the adminlstration of affairs In his office.

Srary, although paralyzsd with cholera, has life enough left to assary its Indignant protest against Germany’s high-handed altempt to sgizs the Caro- Une islands. It was evidently a surprise to Blsmarck who has concluded to back down as gracefally as possible. He not only makes an excuse, although a rather thin one, but he also virtually apologlses, Blemarck well knows that Germany is in the wroag, but he has not the decency to say.eo in language that Is plain.

Can there be more than one Tabor in that state, or is it the Denver opera-house Tabor, who once reprezenied Colorado in the Unlted States anato? Whoever this Tabor may be, he seems to bs meeting with some oppoaltion feom the Denver News, honce ‘we infer that he iy tho ex-United States #enator, It astrlkes wus that a man who was contidered capalilo of representing 4he state In the United! States senate, al- though it was only for thirty daye, ought o bo regarded equally capable of filliog & place on the supreme bench of that commenweslth for a term: of equal length. THE clty ¢ uncil, sittingras & hoard of equalization, has very apyiropriately de- clded to satlsfy tself as to the number of lots and tracts of land that are wrong- fully exempted from faxstion uonder the pretense of a rallroad r'ght o f way. The inquley is based upon the «tharges that the Bux has from time to time made that hundreds of thousands of dolli\ra’ worth of lots were thus exempted. I wlll be remembered that the Bee published a detalled llst of euch lots, taken f.'om the xacords, and aurged that steps be ti kea to ha and be made to contrlbate to the re- Important office, and its busineas should oe conducted in a manner eatis- factory to the public. The IZerald knows that 1t states what is false when it says that ““the Kearney cfflze under his (Morgan's) control has been faithfully and ably conducted by him In spite of the dsmocratic-republican conspiracy to destroy him and Injure the democratle party.” ltfs trae that domoorats and republicans alike have denounced the ap- polntment of Morgan, but it has not been on account of politios, but for legltimate buslness reasons, a3 the result shows. So far as any atiempt to Injure the democratlc party Is oconcerned, no one Is responalble for that except the democratic boss who recommended Morgan for appointment, THE constant decline of wheat In the specalat!vs marke! la not at all consistent with the acknowledged shortsge In the orop. The natural tendency for wheat month, but instead of that it has been planation i3 that the depression is the result of a brace game being played by the grain gamblors, upon the producers of thls country that the prices of their produce shonld be con- trolled by a lot of gamblers, whoss traus- tlons are all {maginary and simply of a betting character. It is also an outregs upon consumers that the main artloles of food ehould bo mads the tools of gamblers who dlotate the prices, wlthout even 85 much as making en actusl purchase, The sys- tem is all wrong, and s ruinous to the legltimate mothode of business, basad upon actual transactions, whish are gov- erned by the law of supply and demund, There should certalnly be a stringent law paszed in overy state making 1t a peni- tentiary offence to gamble In the artlcles of food.

The Pacific etates alono show no decrease. Daring the past week there has been an Increased activity In varlous branches of trade, notably in wool and its manu- factures and in cotton goods. The cot- ton markets have declined } cent as a re- sult of favorable crop prospects and un- satlefactory trade reports from Liver- pool. Stocks aro light, and thero Is rather more demand from spinners whoss products are meeting with wider sale; but the manufacturers are indlsposed to anticlpate requlrements pending the mar- ketlng of the new crop, which will prob- ably give them an opportunity to stock up at low prices, Cotton yarns are sell- Ing more freely, but there s no apprec!— able change in prices. On many lines of staple cotton goods, however, prices have advanced 2} to 5 per cent., and the improving outlook, Wool has con- sales have baen made in all mar- kets, Tho lats =advance 15 well It {s an outrage [malntsined and the altuation favors sel- | bugy colli lers.

Courss of Study—Theso have been very carefully revised, that in agriculture being almost entlrely reconatructed so as to secure a botter order of studles, and a greater economy of time. A short two- year oourso In elamentary agrloulture has been framed to meet tho wants of those who cannot take the full course. 2 Equipment—The new equipment in chemlerry costing $10,000; in botany costing §5,000; besldes these in geology and zoology and the $5,000 expanded for men do the work, ized for common work, addltions to the library are the most im- portant parts of the new equipment. 3. New Labratory—As chemlistry is t1e most important of ths sclences re- Iated to sgriculture snd the mechanic ar’s, a large chanical laboratory is now building and will be ready for unsze by midwinter. In addtion t) supplying rooms for chemlstry it will temporarily accommodate the depsrtment of botany and horticaliure. 4.

The Experimental Farm—Tho farm 1a to bo used for oxperimenta exclusively, and steps have been token to put the ground n order for such use. It Is to bo freed from weeds 8s far as possible; the hedges, fences and gates have been put into good order, the barn has been re-modeled, the cattlo yards re-built, the dwelllngs repaired and peinted, and good walks have been ordered lald down leading to all the bolidings. The herds havebeen carefally sifted, the purpes bolng to retain only the best animals, It is the intentlon cf the authorities of the college that the experimental farm shall soon be one of its most efficlent adjancts, and that it eha!l become a source of pride and profit to the state.

Prospective [mprovements of Omaha Fire Departmeat, the Company No, 5-The One's New Home—A Talk With the Ohtet ~The Tournament, The Omaha fire department which from tho early days has been the com- munity’s great element of pride isad- vancing at equal pace with the progress of the city, Recent transactlons of munioipal buslness havo offered the op- portuniiy and by the grace of the com- mon councll, some such improvements as the followlng wiil bs made:— THE NEW No, b's, Not long slnce the city purchased, at & cost of 82,000 from Mr. Jos, Bell, a property lot 60x140 feot on Sherldan otreet nesr the head o St. Mary’s avenuo. At tho rame time, in the general transfer which attended the recent deal between the clty, the county and Mr. Paxton, a finely condi- tioned barn upon the lattor's lot at the corner of Highteenth and Farnam street, fell fato the posseaston of the city. This structure will be removed to the ground purchased of Mr, Bell and remodeled into » thorough fire rtation. It will ba equipped with a hose cart and steamer, thres horses will be parchased for its service and three men will be statloned there, Chief Butler conslders this a good de- parture, as the besutiful resldence quar- ter which is springing up aboat that por- tlon of the olty has protection from fire, at this time, nlone in that affsrded by the companles far down in town. THE CHANGE OF THE 1's, Company No. 1 is to bo rescued from the old rats’ nest on Cammings sireet, which it now cecupies, and will ba given new quirters in & fine bulding to be erected at the cormer of Cummings and Saunders, The site, 66x127 feet, was bought of Msj. Armatrong ata cost of $2,000. A hand- some, capacions brick stracture will be put up capable of accommodating the four men of the company, the hoto cart, steamer and a hook snd ladder truck which the fature will doubtless require added to the appsratus. The bullding will be two stories high with a ball tower and all the ornamentatlons deemed roa- nonable to properly grace the thriving, fant-growing portion of tho clty where it Iasituated. THE FATE OF THE 3's, ““What is to become of the Threo’s? was ssked of Chlef Butler yesterday This company occupies tho site at the corner of Nixteenth and Farnam, pur— ohased by the Board of Trade for & now chamber of commerce. The chief greeted the questlon with shrug of his shoulders and eald brlefly, “I give 1t up. I was talking with a mem- ber of the Board ¢f Trade yesterdsy and he told mo that wo might expect notlce to vacate any day. It probably behooves the councll to find & new location.” COST OF FIRE HORSES, “‘What do fire department horses cost?” was atked of the chief as the convér:ation continued. “‘All tho way from $200 to $250. We seloot always the best animeals we can find. A fire horse, you see, must com-— bice fair speed with good draft capacity. You have doubtless observed that {n all properly conducted departments, thoe horses are large, handsome fellows. They must be atrong for a team of them to drag the heavy apperatas at a gallop. If you ever rode on the cart or truck, you have without doubt appreciated the lzzy speed mide on a run,” ' THE GRAND ISLAND TOURNAMENT. Chief Batlor is warm In his comments upon the courtesy thown to both the Omaba delegation and himself at Grand Inland during the atato tournament thero last week. Ho seys that the people of Grand Island left nothing undone to complete n most generous receptlon for all the clty’s guests. The Darants con- fined themsslves to a part in the parade, but the Pomplers went in to win laurels The company consfeted of Captain Fisher, Obief Butler, Henry Loges, Fred Schmidt and Aug. Uhtof. The exhibl- tions were given upon a five story mill, and Umaha easily won the prize. The precaedings in tho seesions of the board of control wers emicablo and buasiness like, much to the associations’s revival of credit. Only one littla un- plessantness occurred and that was of an indivldual cheracter. Chief Lederman is a momber of the Grand Island hoso tosm and won the wedal for fast coupling. On the next diy his team was beatenin the race and s'rapge to eay some personages accused M+, Lederman of selling ont.
