School affairs need considerable ventilation and the board cannot possibly exhaust the subject. Herr Mogt before the immigration fnvestigation committee testified that the number of anarchists in the United States would not fall short of two mil- lions. Herr Most has drawn heavily on his imagination. He evidently enjoys a false TWELVE R - clubs with a membership of 200,600 in the state of New York augurs well for the success of the republican party this fall.

It is more than likely that such a move for annexation will be made. Ounr commercial relations with Mex- fo0 are continually improving. With #he extension of American vailroadsinto Mexico, that country is now drawing moie than 45 per centof its imports from the United States. These Amevican products have an estimated value of fifty millions. What is needed is a treaty of peciprocity between the two republi The United States ought to furnish three-quarters of Mexico’s imports and would do so if Mexico could exchange a part of Ler own products and raw m terial for American manufactures, This would be entively feasible.

How far this will go to appense the angry shippers remains to be seen. Wndoubtedly the ilroads are alarmed @t the determined stand taken by the business community uits were brought by shippers against the railroads for violating the law in charging unreason- able rates, and this move on the part of the roads is intended to mollify the merchants not to force the question to an issue. ailing rate OuURr amiable neighbor on Douglas street wants the attention of Tur Bee directed to the fact that the ticket which it prints at the head of its editorial col- umn is incomplete. Republican candi- dates for congress have been nominated in two districts of this state, and Tue BeE is asked how it can profess to be a republican newspaper and not print their names at the head of its columns. 31 this reminder is intended as a reflec- tion on THE PEE'S party loyalty™ we are not in the least disconcerted. The fact is, Titk BEE does not print the name of any candidate at the head of its editorial columns, and does not intend to her after. Hoisting names and keeping them at the head is out of style with metropolitan dmlies, whose political complexion is well known, A horse is 8 horse without a label. A first-class daily doesn’t carry its party colors on its sleave. Swapping Has Begun, Right on the heels of the eapture of the Douglas county convention, by the railroad faction, Mr. Scott, of York, appears in Omaha to perfect atie-up with Mr. Yost on the attorney general- ship., This is what might have been « net Scott has for years been a B. & M. ,and hi boom has been engineered in the inter- est of that road, and all the other cor- porations interested in retiving Gen- eral I But the swapping of Doug- las v delegates has only begun.

Its fato in the house is uncertain, that body having had an inter-state telegraph bill on its calen- dar for months. but the probubility is that the proposed legislation will not be effected at the present session. The Nation's Mincral Resources. The office of the United States Geo- logical Survey hus furnished the pr in advance of the volume on the mineral resources of the United States for 1557, a summary of the valuable statistics which will be therein presented. These show the value of the mineral industries last year to have éxceeded five hundred million dollars, which is the largest total ever reached by such industries in any country. It is nearly seventy-three million dollars move than the product of the United S s in 1886, and cons ably more than one hundred million dollars in excess of the year 1885. Of many items which have con- tributed to this vesult all the increased in quantity, exeept gold and the minor metal, nickel, and nearly all increased in price.
