Toe T has roached its seventeenth mile-post. Though its editor and foun- der is absent from the city on a thric earned vacation, Tne BEE celeh the seventeenth year of its existence, and rejoices that it has accompli much. Tt hos steadily and swiftly grown to dimensions which entitle it to the first place in western journalism. Tie BEE has al s been a news- paper.,, Not only the mere gathe and disseminator of news, but the fact that its editor is possessed of a rare moral courage and a supreme individu- ality with which he has ever grappled foarlessly with every living issue, has largely beon the cause of the paper’s wonderful success. Tk Beg is recognized by the rank and flle of the republican party in the west as the exponent of its principles. Not clinging to the antiquated prejudices and customs of two decades ago, THE BEE has at times arisen, in its desire to render service to honest men, above mere politics and torn to shreds the small and petty means of scoundrels who attempted to use the great historic party for their shield. . When legislators and other public officers agreed to be, not the representa- tives of the popular will, but the mere pupvets of a band of corporate cor- morants, with their hired mercenaries, who sought to shape legislation against the people, Tur B has never for- gotten its duty to the toiling. masses. It will always oppose the parasitic growth of any party. As a medium of news itis not excelied in any state, and has no peer between Chicago and San Francisco. Its circu- lation is increasing, and has reached almost twenty thousand a day. The early part of the seventeen years of THr BRE'S existence was a struggle between life and death. It was success- ful. And to-day, strong, vigorous and victorious, it leads the van, increasing in popularity and excellence, s ed s0 » The New Emperor. The obsequies of Germany’s dead em- peror will not be over before all urope will be intently secking to know what are the sentiments of the unew ruler of the empire, so as to divine, if possible, what may be his policy. Despite the assur- ance which he is said to have given from time to time within the past two months that he had no military ambi- tion, and that he would soek to avoid rather than foment war, the confidence of Europe in him as a friend of peace is not strong. There is a general belief that his motive in thus declaring him- self was to calm the fear of the nations, likely to inerease if he remained silent, with the growth of conviction in the fatal character of Frederick’s malady. ‘When just after the accession of the late emperor to the imperial rule it was pro- posed to make William regent with un- vestricted powers, it was declared throughout FEurope that such action would be regarded asalinost tantamount to n declaration of war. The plan was Bismarck’s, and when the probable effect was scen it was modified so that the crown prince was clothed with limited functions for a time in order to relieve the emperor. The® fact of this circumstance developing so strong®a foeling of apprehension regarding the then crown prinee furnishes plau- sible reason for supposing that he was counselled, and saw the wisdom of the counsel, to ve- assure Europe by announcing the pence- ful sentiments and intentions that have been eredited to him, Since the death of Frederick the new emperor is said to have talked in the same vein. It is understood that he will adhere to the triple alliance, made in the interest of peace, and if this shall prove to be his intention Europe will need no better assurance that so far as Germany is concerned the peace will notbe disturbed. But there is this to be kopt in mind, that under William 11 Germany will probably have a less dis- position to compromise than has marked her policy for the last dozen years, and that while she muy do noth- ing to provoke trouble, if it is thrust upon her she will show more readin to resent it. The new emperor may not really want war, but he will not have the same solicitude to avoid it that his grandfather had. The know!- edgo of this may induce even greater care than is observed not to fall into disputes with the German empire. Un- questionably William will not allow the milita ry establishment of Germany to deteriorate, but he may rather be ex- pected to strengthen it wherever he shall deem increased efliciency to be necessary. It may safely be assumed, also, that he will not go very far on the liberal lines marked out by his father for enlarging and protecting the politi- hts of the people. This policy of derick was repugnant to Bismarck, whose counsel was overruled, but the chancellor is beheved to have greater influence with the present emperor, There is a strong element in Germany which has not heen satisfied with the recent imperial policy, and whicl now hopes for the beginning of a_new era. It remains to be seen to what extent William II is 1n sympathy with this ele- ment, but there is reason to apprehend that the conservative course of the gov- ernment for the last ten years will un- dergo some changes that may not be Lo the ultimate advantage of the nation. It 15 a great and monstrous task that is devolved upon the young man of thirty, with little other training than that of the camp, and whose controlling in- stincts and asperations are those of a soldior, EIGLT years ago it wasa happy day with the Garfield family when James A, Garfield received the nomination of the republican party. Itis doubtful, how- ever, whether the double wedding b tween Mr, J. Stanley Brown to Miss Mollie Garfield, and Mr. Harry Garfield to Miss Belle Mason, just celebrated at the martyred president’s house at Men- tor, earvied less joy to the bereaved widow, There is a touch of sadness, made more pathetie on the eve of “he Chicago presidential nomination, when the incidents connected with the un- fortunite furaily for the pasteight years are recalled. ' It is tg be hoped that the | letter of Horace Greel i darken the threshold of the Garfield’s, and that the double marriage will usher in a new day of joy and gladness, Tnr unusual popularity of Mrs. Cleveland and the ease with which she is able to make strong political friends for het husband have dften been com- mented upon. But she is not the first woman who has had influence in win- ning oversupport which could have been obtained in no other w Apropos of the recent presence of General Fremont in this city, it may be well to recall that Mrs. Fremont in her day had just such qualifications. The following quaint dated October 16, 1855, prior to the presidential can- vass of 1856 when Fremont and Dayton became the presidential nominecs of the fepublican party will be relished just at this tima. Friexp R: 1 could go Fremont pretty easily, for I rather like his wife and I am going in for a president next time whose wife (I think) will ask me up to the white house to take a cup of tea. Politicians never treat me well; women generally do. Tam going for a man next time whose wife 1 can estecm, and Mrs. Anna Benton Fremont (I have only seen her once) seems to be a proper person %o preside at the white house. But I can only help elect; I never was worth anything at securing a nomination.

Y., on July 5th,and remain in session until the close of July 11th. A comprehensive pro- gramme for the discussion and delibera- tion of the conference has been ar- ranged, assuring a most interesting and instructive gession. Among the papers tobe presented will be one on “The Unknown in Case History of the Insane,” by Dr. A. E. Kelly, of Norfolk, Neb., and Omaha will be represented by Mr. C. S. Stebbins as a member of the committee on immigra- tion. The last session of thie conference, held in this ecity, is pleasantly remembered, and the benefits derived from it have already been very considerable. ¢ m—— Por some time there have been ru- mors of an intention to remove the of- fices of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Mis- souri Valley railroad from Missouri Valley to Omaha, but these failing to materialize the impression obtained that the matter had been dropped. Such, however, was not the oase, and we are glad to be able to announce on official authority that the oflices of the company will be removed to this city next Monday, the 18th. There can be no question as to the advantages that will result to the company from this change, while Omaha will gain an ac- ceptable addition to her population and other very desirable benefits TiE movers for a higher education of women must feel highly encouraged that Columbia college has conferred at its recent commencement the degree of A.

Phe Grand Island Times S concerning Trw Ber's position: Tir OMAnA Bee gives notice that the people of Nebraska do not want any Depew in theirs. Asa railroud magnate Depew is all right, but as a candi- date for president he would give the demo- crats o walkaway in a number of states not considered doubtful under ordin cireum- stances, Between free trade and absolute railroad rule the people would choose the lesser evil of the two, and the political ma- chiue ought to be made to plainly under- stand it, This somewhat interesting piece of infor- mation cowes from a Tecumseh paper: “We hear through pretty reliable sources thata tic-up has been effected recently between T, J. Majors and Church Howi The under- standing is that Majors will go to the senate and Howe to the House. This may not be the exact plan, but we are assured that it is the programme that holds the boards at pres- ent. We prefer not to comment very largely on this deal at present, as Johnson county is largely interested, and we therefore await events of 8 more preciso nature.” The Neligh Leader says: “Attorney Geu. eral Leese has done a good thing for the state in bringing the Union Pacific to time, Some time ago the company secured a deci- sion in the United States court to tne effect that the company obtained its charter from the United States and was not amenable to the state laws regulating rates, ete. The company had previously condemned under the state laws real estate to the vaiue of about §3,000,000, and as forcign corporations cannot condemn real estate in Nebraska the company has been obliged to waive its rights under the decision of the United States court in order to hold the property.,” The Seward Reporter gives this endorse ment to the attorney general: A few weeks ago the York Times made the assertion that Atworney General Leese would not be renom- inated fof that oftice, and it will be remem- bered that prior to the congressional conven- tion that paper made some insinuations against that gentleman, The Times has always pretended to be the friend of the peo- ple, and we were at @ loss to see why it should be opposed to his renomination. Tt aid uot long rewain & mystery, for a short time after making the assertion that Leesa would be put out of the race, the Times pre- sented the name of W. T. Scott, of York, as a candidate for the office of attorney general, ‘We have the highest regard for Mr. Scott as a gentleman and pn attorney.

While it may not be the language of Mr. Thurston, the refer- erence to himself furnishes a cipher that would make Donnelly’s cyptogram weary. The notes, after a tedious translation, read: I stand before you to-day th nd creature of mere luck, of blind and eyeless chance. I am here representing the cor of 100,000 peoplo—mostly white.

She is an ‘honor’ girl, whatever that may be, and has been solected by her classmates to read the class prophecy. ‘Why no," said she I've been so awfully busy with my dress and with other little things that I have forgotten all about it Well, sir, T could have dropved through the floor; six weeks' worrying about adress, and not as much as a thought of her ossay to be read in loss than twenty days. If there is anything in the world that would make me feel bad, it would be to have a sister of mine get up before a fashionable audience of her fricuds and make a failure of it. 1 couldn’t sleep that night for mortification. Although I didn’t say a word to Trixy about it Tsat down, and in the course of three or four days wrote out a nice little essay about orange blossoms, clouds with silver linings and such things, which I knew would be ap- propriate for the occasion. T tied the cream- tinted paper together with a long cardinal ribbon, the class colors, and dotermined to give her the “prophecy,” when she would come to me with tears in her eyes and dispair and confess that she couldn’t thing. But she didn’t do anything of the kind. Just five days before com- mencement she came to my room about 6 in the morning, woke me up and hurried mo out of bed to look over something she had written for the ordeal. You wouldn't be- lieve it, would you, but that girl actuully sat up the night before and wrote the neatest bit of conceit I had read for many a day. It was capital, if I say it mysclf. A sort of inspira- tion written on the spur of the moment, and a sparkling improvement over the heavy labored “prophecy” which T had ground out. Well, sir, I never was so proud of Trixy as on that commencement day when she came forward in a poem of white tulle and laco— ch? Why, the dress, of course that took six months to make—and read her prophecy written in a night. She made the hit of the exercises. Yes, sir, I was proud of her. But 1 never told her of the cream-tinted ribboned essay that I wrote for her. - THE STATE'S STATESMEN. Judge Parker ot Lincoln is running in the darls for land commissioner. S.

Jim North will not be a candidate for gov- ernor on the democratic ticket. His cup of glory was filled at St. Louis. It is unnccessary to state in this connec- tion that a very large portion of Nebraska's statesmen are this week doing Chicago. Tom Darnell, the Greely county statesman, is out of the fight for attorney general, And thus another of KA Carns' pet schemes dis- solves. The Culbertson Sun denics in double leads that William Brown is a candidate for the state senate. William, however, will run for the legislature. Thomas Benton, candidate for state audi- tor, watches the papers to sce if any political incubator will bring forth more candidates for the position he longs to fill. It is generally conceded that Governor Thayer, Seeretary of State Laws and Prof. Lane, superintendent of public instruction, will be gi cond term without opposi- tion in the republican state conyention. T, W. Scottof York county will attempt to mherit the throne of Attorn neral Leese. The people, however, will rally round the present incumbent in a style and manner that will make all opposition very sick at heart. Judge Sam Chapman, ofiicially and ener- getically denies that he is a candidate for congress. In the language of a favorito poet, the judge maintains that in these days of doubtful majorities, it is even better to be a district “jeedge” than w0 be a king.

The Colorado Republican Delegates Stop Over at Chicago. ‘The Colorado delogates to the republican national convention passed through this city yosterday. They arrived over the B. & M, in a special train of ton cars drawn by en- gines 105 and 110, The coaches wore Pully mans with the following names: Pasadenas, Delmar, Wahbsatch, Clay, Sarnia, Utah, Midland, and a special ofticors’ car of the B. & M. road. The Sarnia was put on at Hast- ings for the accommodation of people from that city, among whom were J. W. Wigton und Frod Royce, of the Gazette-Journal. The delegates and alternates occupied the Midland and the official car. On either side of the former was a streamor bearing the words, the “Colorado delegation,” with @ representation of the state seal, while the sides of the other bore the legend painted ‘Ofticial train 1838, The delegates are as follows: Henry Walcott, Denver, chairman of tho delega- tion; General W. A. Hamill, also represen- tative on the national republican committee ; Irwin Howvert, formerly troasurer of the Midland Railway company; C. M. Donnael- son, merchant, Leadville; J. M. Henderson, banker, Sterling; W. R. Wingate, Silver CIiff. The alternates were A. F. Safely, formerly postmaster, Boulder; George Gra- ham, furniture, Denver; H. C! Olney, of the Review-Press, Gunnison: George ¥. Drake, Pucblo: Henry Kellogg, Bunt, and C. E. McConnell. Montrose. Each of these was attired in & liner auster with a white tall hat and wore a blue silk badge on his brea-t. Tinctal on the badge was rather elaboratoly wrought. Tho pin wes fastened to a silver bar, on which was the word, **Colorado.”” Pendant was a silver dollar, with the liberty head visible and the reverse hollow, 8o as to lighten the orna- ment. From this depended a golden faa simile of the tools used in mining, a pick, shovel, hammer and rope, while still lowe ¥ hung a small gold bucket filled with golden nugets. The sentiment of the delegation, as well as it could be understood without having beld & meeting to agree upon the same, was that if Blaine we in the field he would be Colo- rado's favorite. They had no special one to look after. They wanted to help to win the campaigi and would be satisfied with anybody ' except Gresham, They were afraid of his silence on the subject of protec- tion. Besides those whose names are mentined there were the following prominent Colo- radians: W. G. Wheeler, under sheriff, of Arapahoe; W. A. Smith, ex-chief of police; Colonel Custom: ex-alderman; Walkins, Alderman Root, Danicl . Kingly, auditor of state; Hon, Melvin Edwards, ex-secretary of state: Kugene Wilder, elork'of the county, and Colonel H. E. Thomas, The train pulled out fifteen minutes after the first section, which had five sleepers, with every bertn full, and three day coaches packed. ——— A Good County. Wiy, Neb., Jane 16.—[Special to Tz cE.|—Many peeple, both young and old, seem to be taking Mr. Greeley's advice and are coming west to “grow up with the coun- try.” 1t has been only two short months since Governor Thayer furnished this great county with a temporary organization, since which time settlerrs are coming thicker and more of them. The scason out here has been wet; upon the whole, h more so than has been known for many years, Of course this gives promise of big for mowing purposes. Peoplo generall ce planted large gardens, and the acreage of corn planted surpasses former years more than one-half. The spring being 80 favorable the people have planted and set out trees largely, This part of the state seems to be the hunter's paradise, for ndecd game is plentiful, especially antelope, deer, ducks and grouse. Politics i this county are quict indeed. In fact, the population is largely republican, there being many old soldicrs among the ranchmen. Upon the county officers to be elected the lines will uot be ly drawn at tho firsy election. e Forging Ahead, OGALALA, Neb,, June 16, —[Special to Tug Bege,]—All bids for the Kicth county court house have been rejected by the c i ers, owing to thewr being in exc propriation.
