The “Bee’s” news bwrcaw at the national capital is now complete. Arrangements have been perfeeted by which owr readers will secure the carliest, the fullest and most reliable information of publie matters at Washington hot from the wircs and gath- ered exclusively for patrons of this paper. There will be no double leading of press re- ports marked “speetal” to decetve the pub- lie by @ show of sham enterprise, or pad- dimg of well-worn sensations forwarded by mail. The “Bec” has made its reputation as a newsgatherer by paying liberally for news wherever procurable, and it pro- poses to maintain its record. Patrons of the “Bee” and Nebraskans generally, to- gether with all its fricnds west or cast, are eordially invited to visit its Washington Readquarters, 513 Fourtcenth strect North, where files of the paper are to be found and @ warm welcome will be extended. Eee—— THESE are the days when even the most rampant anarchist sighs for a coal mine in his back yard. — THE Brewers' association jhas boy- cotted barley raised in Iowa and Kansas, This is doubtless in retaliation .because the peopleof those states have boycotted beer. Em—— THE year closes with the milling in- dustry throughout the country in a flourishing condition. But Omaha still lags behind other western cities in the matter of flouring mills. —— JAY GouLbp is reported to be in such poor health that part of his oriental trip has been abundoned. Now look out for a cabal announcement of his fatal sick- ness and a big deal in Wall street. AN ill wina for embezzlers seems to have suddenly sprung up and the an- nouncements of convictions are becom- ing more numerous. Even in Chicago a ‘“‘confidential thief” has been sen- tenced to states prison THE police fight is over. The coun- oil has recognized the supreme court. Seavy and the new policemen will get their pay in time for buying a Christ- ¢, and the country is safe. All's well that ends well, —— THE rapid advance of wstheticism in this country is shown by the fact that 1,639.945,800 cigarettes were manufac- tured in the United States last year. Ten years ngo the old fashioned strong cigar was good enough except for a few hundred dudes. A DETERMINED war upon the new sickly-green postage stamp has boen inaugurated by the press. The New York Sun even nsserts that it is poison- ous and cannot be licked with impunity. It is evident the new stamp must go. For the present it must go by mail bag. —— Conaness will adjourn to-day for the holiday recess in spite of Senator Plumb’s speerh denouncing adjourn- ment as o democratic game to waste time. Congress, in fact, was practically adjourned yosterday, as hardly a cor- poral’s guard of the members remained in Washington last night, the western contingent having left in time to reach home for Christmas, A NEW congressman from Tennessee must be a rival of Martin, of Texas, in verdancy. He has offered a resolution to abolish the Congressional Record. ‘When he shall have made the greatest effort of his life 1n the line of oratory, and rushes for the Record the next morning, he will wonder how he could have been so stupid. THE government has been very suc- cessful in its sugar experiments in Louisinna and Missouri. As private en- terprise is also, engaged in the same direction it is quite safe to predict that the sugar indus- try will become an important one in the near future. The time may not be far distant when this country shall have no need of the foreign product. — Tine Marquis de Mores is no longer a westorn *‘rustler.” He has quit the tame dressed beef business and is going to Iudia to engage in the more exeiting oeeupation of hunting the wild tiger in its native,tangled jungles. The marquis proposed to astonish the natives of Kunsas City in the way of doing busi- noss, but when he found himself comjng out about one hundrod and fifty thousand dollars short he was more surprised than they, Luck go with him., Practically Scttled. The appointment of Mr. Mills and Mr. Randall as members of the committee on rules of the house of represontatives privtically settles the question as to their appointment respectively to the chairmanships of the ways and means and appropriation committees. The do- termination of this question is about all that is of futerest in connection with the organization of the house committecs. It is not questionable that both these gentlemen ave entitled by precedent to the preference that has been accorded them, but this cousideration does not mitigate the grounds of objection that exist to placing them in tho responsible positions at the head of the two most im- portant committees of the house, from which vantage ground they will exert a grenter influence upon legislation than all the committee chairmen combined. The objections to Mr. Mills are' that he has neither the ability nor the tem- per to successtully perform the duties of the chairman of the wi and wmeans committee at this important juncture. e has never as a member of that com- mittee given evidence of any great cavubilities, and he is proverbially opinionated, stubborn and irritable, rather fond of conflict, but lacking the qualities that win confidence and a following. There are several demoerats in the house better equipped in all respeets for this po- sition than the Texuas congressman, and the appointment of either of them would be more satisfactory to the:count very likely better for the democt Mr. Mills is a pronounced freq trade although admitting that it is idle to talk of free trade now, and with the knowledge of his predilections it is ob- vious that no revenueaneasure can come from his committee without being in a measure handicapped. The opponcnts of tariff revision will profess to see in any such measure having his approval a step in the direction of free trade, and will make the most of the fact that the ways and means committee is presided over by a man who distinetly says that he would have free teade if i A Pos- sible thing, and who argues that such a policy would in the end be best for the country. As to Mr. Randall the objections are familiar. His retention at the head of the appropriations committee continues in his hands the power that has enabled him in two congresses to prevent all revenue legislation obnoxioug to him, and there is no good reason to suppose he will not again exercise this power in the present congress. So far as can e learned his opinions regavding tarift revision and revenue reduction have undergone no change, and it is under- stood that he will have a measure of his own framing to offer, to the terms of which he will un- doubtedly adhere, though thereby all efforts at revenue legislation should be defeated. It is not to be supposed that Mr. Randall could draw a bill re- lating to this question which would be accoptable to the revenue reform clo- ment of the dethocrats in congress, and since he will not go to them he is in a position to preventanything being done. In reply to the question whether he thought it would be possible to pass u tarifl reform measure at this session Mr, Mills replied: “Everything will depend upon Mr. Randall and his friends. We have only about fifteen majority in the house, and we will want the support of all democrats.” The power pos- sessed by Rundall as the chair- man of the appropriations com- mittee makes him the autocrat and ar- biter of the situation. The deference shown by Mr. Carlisle to precedent in these cases may have results veryunsatis- factory to the country and very much to the disadvantage of the democratic party. There was a at opportunity in this matter for a fearless leader, but Mr. Carlisle was not the man for the oc- casion, . Altogether Too Practical, This is a practical age, and we should ulways give preference to practical training in the public schools over the superficial and theoretie. When we say practicul we mean instruction that can be coined into dollars and cents by men and women who desire to earn a liveli- hood. Manual trmnjng of boys and girls is one of these practical and use- ful branches, and so are bookkecping, stenography and typewriting. The cle- mentafy instruction that enables a hoy to master the rudiments of mechanics cannot be taught at home. Girls who desire to make themselves useful in the office or counting room will derive ma- terial advantage from public school in- struction in shorthand, typewriting and the manual of the beokkeeper. But there is such a thing as doing too much in the direction of the practical. Such, for instance, is the attempt to teach school girls how to boil potatoes, bake beans and use the rolling pin. In other words, our school board 5 slopped over in making cooking a branch of public school instruction. The employment of a French cook, or for that matter an American cook, at one hundred dollars a month to teach school givls how to handle pots, kettles and dishes is in our opinion not demanded Dby the patrons of our schools. Very few of our girls are deprived of the practical schooling of the home kitchen. Such as are disposed to soil their duinty fingers with potato peelings and dough can getall the instruction about the artof cooking from first hunds. Those who ave too tender for the coarse work of the kitchen and too proud to come in close contact with Bridget aud the cooking range, are usually trained aud finished in fushionable boarding schools, 1 cook is o be one of the branches of public school instruetion, why not also open a public school laundry, where girls can be taught the art of washing and ironing, The trouble with our board of education is, it is making too many new-fangled experiments. 1f the board has more money than it has use for its policy should be to invest the sur- plus in sehool accommodations. @ E—— Council and Commission. Now that the contest between the council and police commission is ove it behooves both of these bodies to con- for together and arrive atan amicable understanding with regard to the police fuud and the rules and regulations I teal, governing the police force. The chatter | places the municipal purse in the hands | of the council, and it is the duty of that body to provide the necessary means | for maintuining the police department. | The right to establish regulations for | the government of the police force is vested with the commission, but th regulations can only acquire the fo of law when they are approved | by a majority of the coun- cil, With thes cardinal points kept steadily in view by the council und commission, there need be no fur- ther clashing. In making the levy for police funds the council should give caveful consideration to the demands and recommendations of the commission, but it is by no means absolutely bound by them. If in the opinion of the coun- cil these demands are extravagant or unreasonable, it has a perfoet right 1o modify and reduce the estimates of the commission, and fix the number of policemen as in its judgment will suffice for public protection, and make its levy accordingly. The present po- lice force is utterly insufficient, but the clamor to have it incpeased to 100 men will not meet with approval of the tax- payers, in view of the heavy bnrdens they already bear for maintaining the city government. Sixty policemen will, in our opinion, be ample for the next six months. If the low dives and the nptor- resorts that harbor crooks are closed a force of sixty active patrolwen, properly handled, ought to be able to maintain law and orde It the finan- ious cial condition of the city permits an in- crease after the first of nest July, the council can amend its ordinance fixing the number of policemen and authorize a further increase. Another Old Crow. The oldest hotel clerk in Omaha has been heard from, and as might be e pected from a man employed in one of our leading hotels, he takes no stock in the project to give Omaha a large five- proof hotel. The burden of his song is that Omaha’s transient trade is not the kind that would seek shelter in an $8 o day hotel. Who sayg it is? Do any of the great hotels at Clicago, M lis, St. Louis or New York charge #8 a day for regular hotel board and lodging. A family parlor and bath room may cost $8 a day, but that charge is exacted in Omaha now, when such luxuries are at the dis-- posal of our principal hotels, The “old hotel clerk™ who predicts that a half million dollar hotel will run empty for want of paying patronage, is probably inspire@ by the parties who predicted that the building of the Millard hotel would wreck its proprietors and ruin its only ri Suppos her of our two large hotels should burn down, like the Grand Cen- during one of our Nebraska zephyrs, what condition would Omaha be in to accommodate transients or re dent: It will take two years to build any first-class hotel. Our large hotels are overcrowded now. What will they be by 18907 If enterprising men in Omabha were frightened by the cawing of every crow that flaps its prophetic wings we should never embark in any project which is essential to a com- mercial metropoli THE statement comes from Toledo, Oblio, that the [riends of ex-Congress- ank Hurd are endeavoving to boom him for the sccond place on the democratic presidential ticket. Theve will be a great many amusing things snid and done by the politicians before the national conventions nominate the candidates who will make the next race for the presidency, but we hardly ex- peet any to ocear more amusing than this. Mr. Hurd is unquestionably a bright man, and very likely the ablest, as he certainly is the most aggressive among free trade democrats, but he would make a very heavy tail to the democratic kite. He has a following in Toledo and thereabouts that never seems to lose its enthusiasm for him, but clsewhere Mr. Huvrd has uot been able to make a very Qeep impression, though he never loses an opportunity to present his claims to attention. Other aspirants for second place will not be seriously disturbed by the aunouncement that the friends of Frank Hurd are trying to give him a boom. Itisa way they haveof keep- ing him encournged und it does nobody any harm. COAL is now the fourth product in value of shipments from Colorado, and yet some of the towns in that state are complaining of a coal famine. The trouble is said to be with the railroads, and the Denver Republican advises the Jurlington to bestir itself and furnish fucl to the people who are in danger of freezing to death, Omaha, as well as a number of Nebraska towns, are also in danger of a coal famine, prominent deulers predicting that the supply will not last ten d: if the present cold snap continu The deulers here ulso lay the blame at the door of the railroads, and claim that the urgent y for conl does not receive the atten- tion from the railway officials which it demands, The cattle and grain mar- kets can afford to wait for fresh supplies just now a great deal better than peo- ple who are sh ng in the blizzard without sufticient fuel to keep warm, TiE managers of the Union Pacific have doubtiess rcached the conclusion that a few more $7.000 Connoyer ver- dicts would pay for a first class viaduct ouer the Tenth street erossings. And while Mr. Potter’s mind is fresh on the question of crossings aud the liability of railvonds for injuries, he might order one or two electrie lights strung across the lower Tenth street crossing. Mr. Potter evidently is never out o'night or he would become aware that the arms of his fixed guard-gate cut off the light of the solitury lamp-post on Leaven- worth street from the crossing. An- other damage suit for a leg would illum- inate that orossing ina wonderfully short time. M. GEogRGE W. CHILDS, of the PhLil- adelphin Ledger, says he would rather be un editor than be president. Fow men know better than-Mr. Childs the sources of real happiness in this life, und in determining to continue his reloe tions with the goon quatfing i that he has fossion he adorna, and ays to the end, heshows underestimated thé editorial callipg as a means both of grace and ghfness.

Henry Conrad, & Greenwood farmer of cighicen year's standing, was acci- dentally killed last week.

The Council Has a Hot Time Investi- gating Judge Reuther. Every able-bodied .voter who could find standing room in Justice Levy’s court room was on hand to hear the charges preferred against Police Judge Reuther and City Marshal Rice, and every councilmun was in his scat ready to pass judgment on the al- leged misdeeds of their subordinates. Mayor Savage was there to preside with all the dig- nity the occasion called for and Councilmen Looscher and Burke were on hand to exact a strict account of every cent that had passed through the hands of Judge Reuther. Coun- cilmon Smith, Geary, Glasgow and Rafterty were also thero to find out how much their confreres knew about the matter and what it was all about, and Judge Reuther was there to take his own part, and cull on Law: Mayne and Egerton to assist him if ne sa “‘We are here to investigate the charges brought against Judge Reuther,” said Coun- cilnan Loescher, after about an hour had been spent in going over the judge's books, without any light being thrown on the sub- d T move that we hear the evidence Dixon,’ Tumediutely there was a babel of “sounds, in which the attorney for the judge was heard to ask for a thorough investigation of his client’s conduct, Councilman Burke ask- ing that nothing should be done till a satis- factory report was handed in by the judge, and Muyor Savage explaining to the irate councilinan that the report ad alrcady been veceived und adopted.

Councilman Burke did not scem to be aware of this and classed it as »bbing the school fund,” but when quiet was restored Mayor Savage asked City At- torney Grice if such “assessments” ‘could be lewully imposed, and found they could not. A further lull in the proccedings enabled Councilman Locscher to bring in Ofticers Dixon and Redmond, and John Leonard us witnesses and ask that they should be sworn. This was done.

Paxton, jr., missed a new suit of clothes valued at #75. He re- ported the loss at police headquarters and Sergeant Mostyn and Officer Hurrigan were detailed to investigate the matter.

They dingly went to him and told him that they Jearned of his eonnection with t se, and the cheapest thing for him to do was to own up to it.
