A MAGNIFICENT hotel is the culminat- ingidea in the average American mind as toone of the needs of every growing and prosperous city. As Omaha is both growing and prosperous, her want of a superior structure of the kind can not be gainsaid, But this is tri It 18 gray vational pride to learn that I ngland and Germany, in the Samoan conference, have yielded to the terms insisted on by the American «commissioncrs.

The candidates selocted for the sup- port of citizens who desive to divorce our school board from all party ties aro men whom we can sincerely command for the suffrages of all electors. They are men of intelligence, integrity and Clark Woodman is one of our ssful business men thoroughly versed in public affairs and well equipped for the vesponsible duties de- volving upon members of the board of education. Me. A. R. Dufrene is alsoa thorov going busin man. Ie is an ar tect and practical builder, whose perience will be invaluable to the board. Being a retired capitalist, Mr. Dufrene will be in a position to give more than passing attention to the schools. It goos without saying that Mr. Fuclid Martin - will make an ex- cellent member of the board. He is a man of energy and exceptional business training. president of the board of trade he h isplayed admiva- ble executive ability, a qualilication most needed in successful school man- agement. Mr. W. S. Poppleton is a bright and level-headed young man, whose collegi- ate training fits him for a membership on our board of educ Barn raised in Omaba, he is especially enti- tled to the active support of our young men. Mr. J. J. Points was for y 5 0 mom- ber of the board of education and is thoroughly familiar with ourschonl sys- n. His record in the board is nnim- chable and his character above re- ch. uch a ticketshould receive the undi- vided and enthusiastic support of all who desire to see our public schools in the hands of men who can be safely trusted with their management. h- hi- ex- tion. and A CITY OF CHURCHES. Omaha is hacoming a city of churches. In the race for the things material, her spiritual wants are receiving due con- sideration. There are, to-day, eighty- two churches, chapels and missions in Omaha, and their number is rapidly sing. When the census of 1890 shall have been taken, there will be very nearly one hundred houses of worship in the city and its immediate suburbs. For a population of one hundred and twenty-five thousand this would mean one church for every twelve hundred and fifty inhabitants. This will enable Omaha to make favorable compurison with any city in the union. This fact certainiy must be gratifying to the devotees of all creeds. The prosperous condition of our peo- ple is conspicuously evidenced in the architectural taste and' cost of the churches recently structed and in those now under way. Th® ecrude and shapeless structures of the pioncer period are no longer in the fashion. Though hallowed by memorics of joy- ous bridals and christenings, or the melancholy requiems of the dear de- parted, they are passing into the shadows like their founders, and in their stead are rising a new generation of magnificent buildings, imposing in architectural design, solidly constructed, and display- ing the taste and munificence of the worshippers, Trinity cathedral was the first radical departure from the jumbles of timber and brick of the carly days. St. John’s, the Congregational and the Kountze Memorial, are monu- ments to the zeal of their respective congregutions, and would be a credit to any city. Brownell Hall chapel, on the ‘Tenth street hill, now nearly finished, is undoubtedly the handsomest and most attractive structure for its e in the west. It is a model of gothic sim- plicity and solidity, devoid of ex- ternal ornamentation or bogus trim- mings. The Pickering Memorial will be, when completed, one of the most imposing and ornate church edifices in Omaha. No better evidence of the substantial progress of the community in a spiritual and worldly sense can be produced. The elegant ediflices of the well-to-do, as well as the humble temples of the poor, all denote the grow- ing strength of faith in the hereafter, for, as the lamented Prentiss expressed it, “Itcannot be that our life is a bubble cast up by the ocenn of eternity, to float for a moment on its waves and then sink into nothing. We were born for a higher destiny than earth.” AMERICAN SINGERS. The rocent brilliant success of several American girls who are singing in Eu- rope suggests that while the old world holds unchallenged the supremacy in musical composition, the ucw is supe- rior in the production of singers, par ticularly soprano singers. The list of women of American birth who have at- tained eminence in the realm of song is much more extensive than most people upon hasty reflection would suppose. Most illustrious among them is Adelina Patii, and after her come such familinr names as Albani, Nevada and Van Zandt. To these must now be added, as fully meriting the association, by the testimony of the best eritical judgment, Ella Russell, a native of Cleveland, 0., Sibyl Sanderson,» native of Sau Fran- cisco, Mary Bames and Adu Ading. All these last mentioned American girls have recently achieved distinction before the most cultivated and critical of European nudiences and establishod themselves as great popular favorites. Miss Russell has been siuging in Europe for sevoral years, but her great- est triumph was attained with- in tho past two months at War- saw, whore with obrilliant success sho sang the roles of a dozen operas, re- coiving the most ungualified praise of the critics and a popular approval so enthusiastic that she was inducad to de- cline an engagement at St. Petorshurg in order to remain at Warsaw. Miss Sunderson was no less successful in Puris, where she sang in a aew opara by Masseuet, *Esclairmonde,” oreating the title role to the intinite delight of the author and the great gra \tion ol the critics and the public. The successes of Miss Fames und Miss Aa- ing, if loss distinguished than those of Misses Russcll and Banderson, were still notable, It is & most creditable record that inecre Ameficn has made in producing distin- guished soprano singers, partioularly when it is considered how relatively mengre have been the means with us for cultivating the musical taste and talent. May it not reasonably be ex- peeted that us the means of cultivation and development are enlarged and im- provea the contributions of this coun= to the interpreters of tho high- forms of music wil in- crense, and that a generation or two hence America may count anumber of singers as great in every excellence as she who is the greatest'in this generation? More than this, may we not hope from the evolution mani- festly in progress that we shall also in time develop an American opera that will worthily rank with the best work of the Europoan masters? Au Amo can Shakesponre may not be thought possible, but why not an. American Mozart or Beethoven or Verdi or Wag- ner? At any rate, we know that we are becoming a ‘musi- cal people, aiming steadi at higher and higher attainment. The gratifying fact is be- fore us that American-born girls have ved the first place in the realm of wd the futuve holds out only the faivest promise. BEITER QUALITY AND SERVICE. A comparison between the price of gas paid in Omaha and that paid in castern cities would indicate that, all things considered, consumers hera are by no means paying excessive [ . While the rate per thousand cabie feet in Omaha is two dollars, the discounts allowed bring the price to the general consumer at one dollar and sev- enty-five cents, and large users of pay from one dollar and a quarter to one dollar and » hall. In Alleghany, the heart of the ndnatural gas region, the municipality 3 fifty-five cents, private consumers, not including the discount, pay one dollar and twenty cents. Pittsburg, which burns natural gas exclusively, makes a charge of sev- enty-five cents. Cincinnati, Cleve- land and Detroit, all within the natural gas belt, or within eas reach of coal mines, make a rate vanging from one dollar to one dollar and a quarter. Au Philadelphia the municipality is furnished gas free, while consumers pay one dollar and a half. Boston pays from one dollar to one dolla ninety cents, according to the quality of gas. Milwaukee and Chicago consumers are furnished gas at one dollar and thirty cents. Louis is charged one dollar and a half, while Minueapolis pays one dollar and eighty cents. While it is quite evident that the price of gas could be somewhat re- duced, the chief complaint should be dirccted against its quality and the wretehed street lighting service. A better quality of gas should be fur- nished to the city and private consum- ers at the price at which it is now sold. The obsolete stroet village lamps with their dirty glass panes should be re- placed by bell globes of the latest pat- tern, which should be kept in the best of order. These demands can not but be recog- nized by the Omaha Gas company as just and reasonable. THE:GEM OF THE UNION. The growth and development of Mon- tana is a prosaic chapter in the his- tory of the west. Possessing mineral, agricultural and industrial wealth un- surpassed, sho has never felt the fever- ish rush of frenzied men in search of fortune. California sprung into world-wide notorioty atmost in a day. The finding of gold at Sutter’s mill was a star of hope, a rainbow of promise to the Argonauts of '49. The men who braved the dangers of the overland journoy, or escaped the miasma and marauders of the isthmus were men cast in Spartan mold, and the commonwealth which they founded and watched to maturity became one of the richest jewels in the cluster of states. Nevada flashed on the horizon like a golden meteor for a decade, sputtered aud collupsed. While the mines of Virginia City poured out their treas- ures, she prospered in population, but lacked the essential elements of per- maney. In the height of prosperity she wus the speculative football of Cali- fornia mining sharks, and the record of her decline is a history of human wrecks, despair and suicide, The flashing of gold iu the sands of Cloar Creek gave Colorado and Denver their first boost into worldly promi- nence. It was the beginning of the influx of settiers which culminated in the wild stampede for Leadville, and has coutinued to ebb and flow, in vary- ing moods, for thirty years, Montana never felt the impulse of a mining stampede. The nearest ap- proach to it was the Diamond City ex- citement of the sixties. It was a pass- ivg fever, but it convineed the pioneers who crossed the plains in those danger- ous times that the country possessed the gers of a rich and prosperous future, Time has fulfilled their expectutions. 1n the twenty-five years since the terri- tory was carved out of Idaho, her progress has been gradual but certain. Tho lack of railroad facilities operated as a serions drawback for twenty years of that time, but a total lack of means of reaching outside markets served to demonstrate that the territory pos- sessed overy olemont mecessary 1o sup- port & population without outside as- sistance. In this respect Montana has tew equals and no superior. Hor mives are among the richest on the continent. The mineral wealth in the hills surrounding Butte City cannot be computed. Her treasures of silver, copper and lead surpass any camp in ex- istence, and the supoly is apparently iuexhaustible, This cluster of mines is only a fraciion of the wealth uncovered in various sections of the territory. The valieys of the Missouri, Missoula and Yellowstone possess a tillable avea capable of supporting a large population. The wmount of land cultivated is steadily increasing, and the wheat harvested vanks with the best yuality produced in Dakota, Stock ralsing and sheep husbandry ave indus- tries of uulimited possibilities, and | be exceptionnily 1drge. sy closely press the mineral output ln act- ual returns, This combination of mineral, l\)lrh'ul- tural and pastoral g@sources is the car< dinal element of §frent and powerful common wealth, “fu\ territories can present to the unian such an infinite variety of wealth in precious metals, fertile valleys, gwaowg foothills and in- dustrial possibilities. — GOING ABROAD. The number of' Athericans who 0 to Europe this shmmer promises to and a. great many who desirt to go will be disap- vointed for want of transportation. it is said thatall the berths on European steamships have been engaged up to the middle of July, so that those who are not provided for must remain at home at least until midsummer, unless they decide instead of going abroad to visit some of the many points of inter- est in their own land. The unusual desirve of Americans to go to Europe this season is chiefly due to the epecial attraction which the exposition offers, but apart from s the tendency of our wealthy people to summer abroad is steadily growing. These people are continually boing told, and the more intelligent of them certainly must know, that there are at- tractionsin our own land quite as mter- esting as any to be found in Burope or any other portion of the world, but these do not invite them for the reason that there is none of the glamour connected with an American tour that is associated with a trip w Europe, albeit the dangers and discomforts con- nected with the latter may be much the greater. Of course it must be granted that Europe offers to the intel- ligent tourist opportunities for instruc- tion and the acquirement of vaiuable knowledge nowhere else to be found, but how few of those who go abroad do 80 with a view to intellectual improve- ment. Sight-seeing is the chief incen- tive, and probably not twenty per cent of those who go to Kurope are any better for 1t so far as the enlargement of their information isconcerned. The large majority get really nothing for the money expended, not even recrea- tion, for roaming about Burope 1s quite as laborious as traveling in this coun- tey, if not more so, for the accommoda- ons of travel and entertainment are nerally not so good there as her And what a vast sum American pies ure seekers aunually leave in Enrope. It is estimated that, in average years, not less than one hun- dred million dollars are spent in Europe by Americans, and doubt- less Al year the amount will be very much lirger than that. But it is to little purposc to tell people who have money to spendand a vanity to satisfy that it whuld be wiser to distri- bute their summer, gecreation expendi- tures in their own t‘zunlr)' and better acquaint themselves with its greatness and its beauties. A few may heed such counsel, but the yast majority give it no regard, and the number of this class grows with the iucrease of wealth among us. Jf there were reciprocity there would be 1e8s reason for giving the advice, but very few wealthy Buropeans who travel visit the United States. THE wine industry of California ap- pears to be making very little progross. For the past six or seven years the annual production of wine has been between fiftoen and eighteen million gallons, while during the same period the raisin industry has grown immensely, and the shipmentsof table grapes have largely increased. The acreage in vineyards hasalso grown with each year. The San Francisco Chronicle says the reason the wine-making industry does not flourish is noet on account of any defect in the quality of the wine. It remarks that all genuine connoisseurs in wine are coming to ap- preciate the merits of the pure juice of the grape, and to give California wino the rank it deserves. One cause as- signed for the failure of the wine inter- est to grow is the discrimination prac- ticed by the transcontinental associa- tion against wine in glass. 1t costs con- siderably more to transpori wine in glass than in wood, the difference, ac- cording to the Clhronicle, being virtually prohibitory of transportation in glags. Doubtloss the greater secur- ity against breakage is tho rea- son for the discrimination in favor of wood, but it would certainly seem to be a mistaken policy to make the dis- crimination 5o great as to be fatal to the wine industry. The wiser course would appear to be to give the industry every possible encouragement, as it is sure o prove highly profitable to the transportation companies and to the state. There is noserious danger of the California wine industry dying out, but keeping it alive is not sufficient. It ought to be making steady and substan- tial progress. Tite question regarding the separa- tion of the Black Hills tin ore from the accompanying mioh'hasapparently beon settied by the Lcsfl)nohy of experts that there is no difficulty in separating the metals. This is what the professors of mining and metallprgy of the Dakotu school of mines(say, and they are re- puted to be capable and trustworthy men. The alleged difculty being aisposed of, it only remains o be demoustrated whether the tin déppsits in the Black Hillsare of such oxtent and richness as to justify the investitont of large amounts of capital in theif, déyelopment, and in the construction of +mills aud purchase of machinery neMmy to the manuiac- tuve of tin plata, Fhe claim is that these deposits aveof vast oxtent, nearly equal to those of all the restof the world, and that the quality of the tin is equal to the best. If this claim can be established, and it should not take a great while to determine whether it is well founded or not, there will be a great opening for the investment of iale capital, and the manulacture of tin plate is destined to become an industey of great importance. Tuk appalling dostraction of life and vroperty in the Conemaugh valley, of Ponnsylvanis, is a vounterpart of the terrivle floods which devastated several provinces of China last yoar. The dams of the Yellow river burst and seut will,, a torrent of water through the country, destroying hundreds of thousands of lives and an enormous amount of prop- v. The reservoirs of eastorn factory towns have time and again wracked scoros of lives and homes, and spread ruin over miles of beautiful valleys, In the destruction of Johnstown and contiguous towns fire added to the horrors of the flood. The force and fury of n vast body of water descending from a height of two hundred feet swept the town out of existence in a moment, and plunged hundreds of people into a boiling tor- rent, from which few escaped. The loss of life reaches into the thousands, and days must pass before an accurate estimate can be made of the destruc tion wrought by the deluge. The dis- aster demonstratos the folly of storing vast bodies of water in a sottled coun- y. Human ingenuity has not yot produced a safety valve for the furies of the element: THe state department has been offi- cially advised by the Huytien minister at Washington of the termination of the insurrection in Hayti. Tn the opinion of the minister both sides grew tired of the conflict and concluded to end it. Both the leaders, Legitime and Hippo- 1yte, it is understood, vo agreed not to again be candidates for the presi- dency, and a new man will be proposed. After the exhausting war experience the people have had, they will now doubtless settle down to a period of peace and an effort to restore their badly damaged prosperity THERE continuoes to be talk of possible trouble between Great Britain and the United States, growing out of the Beh- ring sea issue, but no such feeling seems to exist in official circles in either country. A member of the British gov- ernment has publicly stated that the report that war ships had been ordered to cruise in Bohring sen was not true, andour state department 1nanifests no uneasiness in the matter. Protty much all the talk originates at Ottawa, and is very likely nothing more than Cana- dian Dluster, which is a guite common and very cheap commod THE non-partisan ticket combines the three essential elements nceded in the board of education: Business capacity to properly m ast interests of the schools; legal ability to define the powers and duties of the board, and a man of practical experience in des ing and building schools. Such cmi- nent qualifications strongly appeal to voters honestly desirous of elevating the board above ward politics and job- bery. NEBRA the high compliment paid to Governor Thayer at the opening of the Texas Spring Palace at Fort Worth last week. As the orator of the day, Governor Thayer was ac- corded n hearty reception, and his ap- pearance on the stand was the signal for greater enthusinsm than ever before accorded by s to a northern goy- ernor. The people of Nebraska will not be slow to return the compliment whenever they shall be given the oppor- tunity. ONE offic is enough for one man. There are plenty of good respousible men to select for the board of education without imposing additional burdens on officeholders The Lottary of Food-Buying.

In the purchase of mustard alone he has thirty-four ohances out of fifty-four that he will get flour, tur- merico and a large number of other equally remarkable articles. e His Grace's Royal Jag. Clidecayo Times, grace tho duke of Kdinlurgh, who, during a recent cruise on board the war-ship Sultan, got a royal jag on himsel! and so mismanaged the vessel that she came near being wrecked, is having a sort of a trial be- fore the admiralty board at Portsmouth, The ovidence so far adduced goes to show that the bat which the duke got on diftered in no material respocts from the ordinary, low-down, every-day drunlk. e Punishment for Train Wreckers, Philadelphia: Record, Train wrecking in the west is again forc- ing itself upon the attention of the whole country.

Men who conspire to devrive a young and winsome woman of her mail com- panions are ‘only fit for, ‘treasons, strata- ems and spoils,” especially the latter, The warlike dispatches sent out from Brit- ish Columbia are characteristic of that scc- tion. It is as easy to work up a war scaro in Victoria ns an Indian scare among the squat- ters of the Sioux resorvation. When the Omaha excursionists invaded that section three yearsago, UncleJohn Creighton headed asmall party of foragors on thoe telegraph office, The pompous manager did not exert himself to wait on the party. They retired to a corner. In a loud, anxious tone of voico, Uncle John recounted the chances of taking and insisted that they had secured ut information of the defenses to war- pedition in moving at once. A boius cypher telegram to a mythical indi- vidual was handed the manager with a re- quest to “‘rush.” “‘Strangers from the states, hey?" “Ys,” responded Uncle John, “but you'll 800n get acquainted with us, We have come 0 exumine the country to determine how much of it we want. We are the advance guard from the states, sent out by the gov- ernment to aunex enough of this territory to connect with Alaska, and by St. Jonathan we'll have it or wade in blood.

Evory observer must be struck with the vast improvement made in those streets from which the poles and wires which havo 80 long disfigured them have been removed, says tho New York Herald. And all must wonder at the time it has taken to effect a reform 8o much neoded. It is more than five yours since the movement to abate the nui sance began in earn With dogged deter- mination the companies first opposed the enactment of the law and then resisted ite enforoement. Expert electricians insisted that the undertaking was impracticablo, Lawyors argued that tho statute was uncon- stitutional. Mayor Howitt posed as the per- sistent obstructionist to a law which it was his official duty to execute. But the will of the people has at length begun to provail. The unsightly poles and wires are fast dis- appearing from view, the success of under- ground lines is assured, and oven the stout- o8t opponents must soon admit that the ohange Is a great boon to the public. Itis a triumph of substautial value for the peoplo. Englsnd is sufforing neavy punishment for its long misgovernment of Ircland, says the St. Louis Globs-Democrat. When the homs Tule question forced all other pelitical issues nside, somo great schomes of reform wero indefinitely postponed. John Morley, in his great speech last woek, reminded his audi- ence of this fact, and also 1n their zoal to im- pede Irish measures the electors had hin- dered national reforms of at loast as great importance. The liberal party now stands pledeod to a policy which includes legislation t0 abolish trusts, excessivo and porpetual pensions, and state aid to or interference with religion, to reform and reorganize the houso of lords, to abolish real in place of nominal county self-government, and to of- fect a reduction in national expenditure by abolishing & wholo host of unnccessary of- fices, Such a programme should surely reconcile the most anti-Irish radical to the much-areaded pulicy of justice to Ireland, The senate of the Massachuse! ture has passed a bill giving women to vote on the issue of liguor licenses. democrats, of course, combatted the meas- ure, and it would seem thata great mauy republicans also were opposed to it, bub were afraid to record their votes against its passage. The bill has yet to pass the house and the governor, and its success is probably not assured. But should this measurs be. come a law, Massachusetts will have the dis- tinction of presenting to the world the novel spectacle of a state which has entrusted to the charge of the gentler sex the most difll- cult problem of contemporaneous politics, This, at least, would be the effect of the bill should it become a law, inasmuch as the women are in a large majority in the state of Massachussetts, The purpose of the meas. ure is plain, says the Minneapolis Tribune. The object is to force prohibition upon the people. It was defeated by an emphatic ma= jority at the rccent general election, but it women were given the right to vote on the issue of liquor licenses, it is exvected that every city hamlet, county or township would vote “‘No license.” he prohibitionists would thus reach their illusive goal by a circuitous route. Whether prohibition would prohibit if the sternness of the law were temperod by the sweetness of woman is quite a differ- ent question. It would not be safe to answer in the affirmative, while doubt might be con- sidered unchivalrous. Whatever the prac- tical consequences of such a law, its enacte ment would be a great compliment to the supposed civic virtues of women. The Boston Globe thus comes to the de- fense of the American muses: No wonder we are now passing through the “vwilight of the poets!” Here is Har- per's Magazine for June, devoting ten pages to two voems, one by Winthrop Mackworth Praed, and one by William Wordsworth. Praed was an Englishman who has been dead fifty years, and Wordsworth an Eng- lishman who has been dead about forty years, though he was dead as a productive poet nearly twenty years before his funeral, ‘Why should American magazines rob Eng- lish graveyards for their poetic livery, when there are so many aching bards of native breed, ‘“‘who die with all their musio in them,"” because they cannot find a publisher, the highway of whose literary pilgrimage is paved with rejected manuscripts! Messrs Harper, we can read Wordsworth in his book —partof him voluntarily, part under extreme compulsion. Let us have some native Amer- ican poetry, fresh with the dew of recent ine spiration. Give a little boost to our contem- vorary home bards, who are climbing up Parnassus under dificulties, and not waste 80 much encouragement on deceased foreign- ers, who are already warmly ensconced in @ Pantheon of their own. ‘The motion to abolish the house of lords as a part of the machinery of British legisla« tion was regarded as a grotesque joke when it was first brought forward a few years ago. Itimpressed men's minds very much as might a proposal to abolisa the tides on Goodwin Sands, or to reverse the order of the seasons or in some other way to change the conditions established by nature, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. For the house of lords has existed as a part of Hritish legislative machinery ever since there bogan to be legislative machinery in the kingdom, and to the human mind, and especially the British variety of the human mind the fact that anything has always been scoms conclusive proof that it must always continue to be, in form and nams, at loast whatever may happen in effect, —-— AS OTHERS SEE US, Biil's Bronchos.
