WHENEVER l\r;yhmly says “bmudlor."’ Put Ford always jumps up like the boy who says, ““It wasn’t me.” EMPEROR WILLIAM is now so feeble that when ho wakes up in the night the cable announces the fact. THERE is a growing impression among the leading democrats of Pennsylvania that a large and active presidential bee is buzzing in Sam Randall’s bonnet. Tne Reading railroad company and the striking employes have each adopted apolicy of silence. This is good. The next step should be arbitration and an agreement on torms. — THE attempt by any man ornewspaper to treat the juil scandal with levity will not meet with approval in any quarter excepting with the parties implicated, their favorites, and chums. CANADA has' had an earthquake, but not sovere enough to scare out the bood- lers. They are more fearful of an ex- tradition treaty than an upheaval of nature. — JAcoB WoODARD, of Newark. Ohio, fell down in the mud the other night and smothered to death before he could get up. This discounts Omaha mire even in the days before paving was known. A LAND steal has been discovered in California that for “rugged picturesque- ness of roguery” has never been equalled. It is in the red wood country, a portion of the state which has always boasted that none of its products can be excolled. THE discovery that the bank state- ments have been ‘‘doctored” is said to have rudely shocked Wall street opern- tors. Of all the reports that were given on the street the only one that has been considered ‘“‘gospel” is the bank state- ment. Now that confidence in these ex- hibits has been shaken, the poor op- erators have nothing on which they can rely. The Wall street gambler will henceforth depena entirely on his luck. THE bell-wether of the council has re- covered from the mumps which he took about the time the supreme court sat down on him by declaring Seavey the legal chief of polico. He pranced around the council chamber as if noth- ing had happened, and performed the usual antics. Nearly all his former fol- lowers of the ‘‘combine” fell in with him and jumped overall the legal fences as if there was no such thing as a charter. ——— ‘WrrH the gall of a government mule Pat Ford declared in open council that he did not know that he was en the com- mittee on printing until Kitchen asked him to sign Cadet Taylor’s cooked-up report. Pat has been on the printing committee for more than three years, and has always exhibited his spite, malice and ignorance at every letting of advertisiug contracts. “Truthful Pat” ought to be his name from now on. —_— THE tax-eaters are multiplying faster than rats, and if Mayor Broatch doesn’t call a halt we shall have a bankrupt treasury long before his time is out. A few days ago the council created the noedless ‘office of license inspector at 8100 per month, when the same service was performed by a regular police offi- cer in addition to other police duties at #70 per month. Now we are to have a city smeller at 875 per month. And this is only the beginning of the fiseal year. IN ordering the abandonment of the Rocky Mountain division, Major Pow- ell, director of the United States Geological Survey, has shown un- warranted discrimination in favor of the east. It is charged by Colorado exchanges that Major Powell is concentrating his efforts upon eastern geological work to the neglect of the western mining region. This is just the reverse of what should be doue. Nobody knows better than Major Powell that the region west of the Mis- souri is vastly superior to the Atlantic scaboard in geological interest and value. Prominent western men have united in an addpess urging him to re- consider his order. He ought to heed them, THE OMAHA DAIL Governor Larrabee's Views. There are at least two features of the message of Governor Larrabee of Towa which will receive general attention. His recommendations regarding rail- way legislation are one of these, and they are likely to be all the more im- pressive as marking a conversion of the governor rather more radical than any we could have expected. They very strongly attest the persunsive and con- vincing influence which the growth of anti-monopoly sentiment in Towa has had upon the politicians, of whom there are other examples than Governor Lar- rabee. The governor has put himself in full accord with the majority of the people by recommend- ing o reduction of freight rates and passenger farves, and aboli- tioh of all passes, and the ¢ tion of the power by the legislature or the railrond commissioners to fix maximum rates. In ofe respect, that of making a two- cent per mile passenger rate, he has probably gone farther than some anti- monopolists would deem necessary, but in all other respects his recommenda- tions will have their full approval. A two-cent passenger rate may at present be as impracticable in Jowa as we be- lieve it to be in Nebraska, and we have no doubt that thg governor would have been wiser and his advice more effective had he suggested a less decided reduc- tion from the existing rate. Yet his zeal is in the right direction. The gov- ernor also thinks the state railroad com- missioners should be paid by the state instead of by the corporations, in which he is clearly right. The policy of requiring the railrond companies to pay the salaries of the commissioners is not only a reproach to the state, but it affords the railronds a vantage ground in dealing with that body which they would not hesitate to make whatever use of they could. If the Iowa commis- sioners have always been faithful to their duty they deserve great credit for rejecting the temptation to favor their paymasters which weak human nature is most apt in any circumstances to yield to. The legislature should with as lit- tle delay as possible relieve them of this temptation. Thestatement of GovernorLarrabee re- garding the operation of the prohibition law will attract widespread attention, and will be especially reassuring to pro- hibitionists everywbere. Although the law has not been enforced in every por- tion of the state, and particularly in some of the larger cities, progress has been made, and the governor says with good social and moral results. Many families have found their condition im- proved, crime has decreased, and the criminal business of the courts and tho records of the jails show an improve- ment in the conduet of the people. The governor suggests, however, that further legislation will be necossary before the law can be fully enforced throughout the state. Regarding the very impor- tant effects of the prohibitory law upon the materinl affairs of the state Governor Larrabee issilent, and this must be regarded as a serious omission. There is very conclusive testimony that in this particular the law has been a great damage, and it was the duty of the governor to have taken notice of such facts. That he did not do so implies a confession of his inability to make the case he desired in behalf of prohibition with the practi- cal results of its operation given due regard. There is every reason to be- lieve that prohibition has been a costly experiment to the prosperity of Iowa, while it is questionable whether it has wrought so great a social and moral improvement as would be inferred from the message of the governor. Trus worthy testimony is that those cities in which the law has "been enforced, 8o far as the authorities have been, or probably ever will be, able to enforee it, there has been loss of business, real es- tate values have declined, and there are other evidences of a receding pros- perity, yet in none of these cities has prohibition been fully attained. Liquor drinkers continued to find a way to satisfy their desires, and thousands of times every day in these cities the law has been and is still violated, The ex- perience of Towa with prohibition has not been in any essential respect differ- ent from that of other states. The law has been enforced with little difficulty in the rural districts and has had bene- ficial results there, but its thorough enforcement in the cities has been found impossible and always will be, even though the state should create a constabulary army for this special service. Meanwhile the efforts to enforce prohibition will con- tinue to produce, according to the de- gree of its success, such results to the business and prosperity of the cities as have thus far followed the operation of the law. This has been the universal and uniform experience, and it is not to be expected that Iowa's experiment with prohibition will prove an ,excep- tion. Senator Wilson Renominated. The renomination of Senator Wilson by the joint caueus of the republicans of the Towa legislature will be approved by republicans everywhere. It was a proper recognition of able and faithful service, and is to be commended as as- suring to Towa a more creditable repre< sentation in the United States senate than would have been secured had either of the aspirants to the scat of Mr, ‘Wilson, and particularly the most prom- inent among them, been successful. Sen- ator Wilson occupies a strong position in the respect and confidence of his sen- atorial colleagues, due to sterl- ing qualities of mind and character mnot too common with men in public life, and especially in congress. No one can fairly question that Senator Wilson has been diligent and faithful in caring for the interbsts of his state, and thercfore merits the reward he has received, while his fidel- ity torepublican principles commends him to all republicans as worthy of such consideration. Senator Wilson's victory was very complete and was aecomplished without any serious friction. The supporters of Colonel Hepburn having failed to se- cure a postponement of the caucus with- drew his name. There is ver probability that Hepburn would have derived any advantage from delay. | thing clse for two out of every three Tis friends had worked for him with | great energy and zeal, his claims had been thoroughly can- vassed, and all had been said in his be- half that could be said. The effect was not to increase the impression of his availability, and it is not a reasonable supposition that a longer canvass would have improved the chances of Colonel Hepburn, but rather the contrary. Senator Wilson will be re-elected next Tuesday. A Grand Jury Ordered. County Attorney Simeral having re- ted the calling of a grand jury to igate the grave charges relating the county jail management, his recommendation has been carried oit. The grand jury is the only tribunal authorized by law to investi- gate the management and condition of county jails, and in the very nature of things it can conduct such an investign- tion more effectively than the county commissioners. An inquiry by a grand jury is made with closed doors. The witnesses are not embarrassod by the presence of parties whose ill-will they fear or whose good will they are obliged to have. The secrecy with which such an investigation is conducted not only enables agrand jury to o to the bottom of the charges, but it also enables the county attorney, in case proof of crim- inal conducet is brought out, to secure his witnessesand prevent them from be- ing spirited away. The county com- missioners under the law have no au- thority to remove the jailer or any deputy of the sheriff who in their opinion may be culpable, but when a grand jury findsa true bill against any of those subordinates of the sheriff the road is clear totheir removal, On the other hand a favorable report from the grand jury would be complete vindication. It is made the duty of the grand jury to periodically investigato the condition of the jail and recommend any changes or reforms which in its opinion may be needed. We have had no grand jury in this county for two years, and no in- vestigation of the jail during that period. Even if there were no charges tho condition of the jail demands u thorough investigation and inspection at least once in twoyears. Tho only objection to calling a grand jury is the expense, but that is a mere trifle. The tax-payers of this county will cheer- fully bear the additional burden for the satisfaction which a grand jury investi- gation would afford. Another Tax-Eater. For whipping the devil around the stump commend us to Bellwyether Has- call. When the council under the bell- wether’s lawless leadership ejected Chief of Police Seavey from the council chamber John Butler, ono of Hascall's henchmen, was made sergeant-at-arms of the council by a resolution. Up to that time the city marshal, or a police- man detailed by that officer, acted in that capacity at no extra expense to the city. Now every resolation involving any expenditure of money must, un- der the charter, be approved by the mayor, and if not approved by him must be passed over his head by a two-thirds vote of the council. The resolution cre- ating the office of sergeant-at-arms was not submitted to the mayor, but the extra allowances were smuggled intothe appropriation bills. And now when Hascall finds that Seavey is the legal chief he whips the devil around the stump by creating a soft berth for John H. Butler at $75 per month, by making him a sort of city Pooh-Bah. He isto be assistant smeller to the city attorney to rake up evidence in damage suits against the city, and at the same time to remain sergeant-at- arms for the council. Now the council has no more need of a special sergeant- at-arms than has the board of education or the board of county commissioners. With three assistant city clerks the council oughtto be able to have its reso- lutions, papers and ordinances handed up to the chair without rising, and when it is necessary to arrest a council- man for willful absence a policeman can always be found to serve summons and deliver orders. There is not a shadow of pretense that the city necds a second assistant to the city attorney. When Connell was city attorney at $2,000 a year he did the en- tire legal work of the city without special assistants, and if he employed any he had to pay for their service out of his own pocket. Now John L. Web- ster as city attorney has a salary of 43,000 & year, with an assistant city at- torney at 81,500 a year. In other words the city is now paying $ 0 a year for regular attorney service, for which two years ago it only paid $2,000. On top of this comes Hascall’s official smeller at $900 a year. Grant that his services in waiting on the council one night in the weck is worth $5a week. What right has the council to load upon the t payers an additional 8640 a year for se vices which the three-thousand-dollar city attorney and his fifteen-hundred- dollar assistant should perform without extra pay : THE prospect of sugar-beet cultiva- tion in this country on a large scale is growing. The San Francisco Cull notes the fact that the American sugar re- finery proposes to follow the example of Claus Spreckels and to erect works for the production of beet sugar. That paper says it is hardly possible to fore- cast the effect of the revolution which would occur if California became the source of the American sugar supply. The world consumes 5,000,000 tons of sugar cach year, one-fourth of which is consumed in this country. The money value of the raw sugar annually con- sumed in the United Stal amounts to the enormous sum of $150,000,000, It takes, with modern machinery, ubout a cental of beets 1w produce twelve pounds of sugar, or, in other words, eight tons of beets will yield nearly a ton of suga In Europe good beet land will bear, once in three years, an average of twelve tons of beets to the acre; that is to say, an acre planted in beets will yield saccharine matter enough to make nearly a ton and s half of sugar. To produce a crop of 1,250,000 tons of sugar about 850,000 aeres would have to be planted in beets, and as the land must be planted in grain or some- years, three timgs that qunnt of land must be nlhr,tml to beet culturo, if the crop is to rench the proposed figure. The Call says thébe would be no trouble in finding all the land in California re- quived for the industry, and of course there are other portions of the cuuntr in which it could be carried on pre y. The indieations are that beet sugar as an Anferican product is a cer- tainty of the near future, the effect of which would be-to revolutionize thisim- portant industry throughout the world and ultimately supply the American consumer at @& price little more than half what he now: pa.

L A Boom That Does Not Boost. Kansas City Star, It is reported that Stephen W. Dorsey has purchased a newspaper at Santa Fe, and is credited with a desire to boom himself as United States senator when the territory shall be admitted into the union. The effort of a politician to boost himself into ofice with the aid of his own newspaper is closcly akin to that of a man who endeavors to lift himself over the fence by the strups of his boots. e Lic e in Atlanta. Kansas City Star. The new city council of Atlanta, Ga.,which comprises five prohibitionists and ten anti- prohibitionists, has reduced the license to sell liquors to §1,000.

The father, being a man of means, scems to have brought his son up in idlencs: and to have devoted his own leisure hours to missionary work, which, though domestic, was not sufticiently domestic to reach his own son. The mawm fault, however, appears 1o have been that of giving a young man,now twenty-nine years of age, free board and an aflowance of money quite suficient to enable him to get drunk by way of filling in idle time.
