CHICAGO is determined to cut a large flgure in the census. She is diligently gathering every suspect in the country to swoll her population. ANNEXATION and consolidation should not be overlooked in the tumult of progress. South Omaha needs the sheltering care of the parent tree. Tue election in a lump of over two hundred school teachers, good, bad and indifferent, by the board of education was altogetber too much of a job lot affair. IowA shows a commendable appreei- ation of home talent, and it is gratify- ing to note that Jt is deserved. The commission appointed to secure designs for a soldiers’ monument awarded the first prize to Mrs. Harriet Ketchum, of Mount Pleasant, IHer design is for a bronze equestrian statue of heroic size, Tue City Reform club of New York has just sent District Attorney Fellows a caustic letter calling his attention to his neglect and indifference in pushing tle prosecution against certain assem- blymen in the notorious bribery 8.

Tor Bellevue rifle range for the de- partment of the Platte has impercepti- bly grown into national prominence. Although but three years established the range has become a post for tho competition of the department, the di- vision, and for distinguished marksmen.

A DISTRIESSI in the coal mining regions of northern Iilinois, brought about by the pr tracted strike of the miners. Having made but little preparations for a pro- longed lock-out, the miners and their dependents are on the verge of starva- tion. Unfortunately both sides to the strike are determined not to yield, which makes an early settlement of the difliculties somew hat dubious. The case is deplorable and demands imme- diate attention in order to reliove the destitution of the miners. —— UNDER some circumstances the steady shipments of gold from this country to Europe might excite uncasiness, but the prosent movement is simply a little surprising in view of the fact that our exports have not fallen short of the 1m- ports to the amount of the gold for- warded. The explanation of the excep- tional condition is that rope needs gold and this country has an abundant supply with which to meet the demand, 8o that it is going abrond just as any other commodity might which Europe wanted of us and could spare. Thero is nothing in the movenient significant of finaneinl trouble, preseat or pros- pective. Ste———— Tur merchants of Omaba have at last rolled up their sleeves and show a dis- position to make the merchants’ cele- bration this fall an unqualified success. There 1s cortainly a promising outlook. The ofiicers of the permenent organiza- tion just perfected are one and all men who stand at the top of the business commuuity and have nover been known to undertake n project without making ita go. The directory coutains more- over one hundred of the most energetic and enthusiastic young business men, representing almost every branch of teade to be found in this city., With this combination of brawns and pluck great things are to be expected in the wiy of arranging a suitable programme, A weeld’s carnival must of nocessity have a number of striking and drawing attractions. Now that the business mer of Omaha have “got together,” let there be no delay in getting down to work for tae celebration. THE TRRIGATION PROBLEM. The question of irrigating the arid regions of the west will very likely have prominence in the attention of the next congress. The senate appointed a special committee to investigate the subject of irrigation in the regions where it is believed to be feasible and desirable, and it will soon enter upon its work 1n connection with a party of engineers and survoyors sent out to tako the preliminary steps for the con- struction of a national system of reser- voirs, A great deal of interest wns manifested in this matter by the last congress, and the appropriation made for the inves- tigation and experiments will enable a good start to be made toward demon- strating what ought to be and can be done. The future of this groat project will depend vi largely upon the con- clusions of the senate committee, which is empowered to pass upon the whole matter. We do not know that the com- mittee has determined upon the extent of its investigation, but it is presumed that it will confine its inquiry to ascer- taining the most feasiblo and economi- cal plan of establishing veservoirs at certain convenient points. Tu the opin- ion of engineers and surveyors who have made a careful study of the sub- ject, the easiest way to accomplish the object is to build dams at the mouvhs of certain large gulches in the Rocky mountains and thus store up the water which comes from the melting snows above, to be distributed over the arid lands below by means of canals and ditches. The very great importance of this question of irrigation for the vast re- gion in the west that can be reclaimed only in this way was strongly set forth in a recent magazine article hy Sun- ator Stewart, of Nevada, the pri facts and arguments of have heretofore presented. The arid territory is of immense proportions, and in the opinion of Senator Stewart much the greater part of it can be made profitably cultivable by irrigation, be- coming in time the home of prosperous millions of people and adding enor- mously to the wealth and resources of the nation. KEven making a large al- lowance for an over-estimate of the possibilities of this region under a tem of irrigntion and there will stitl v nain sufficient probable results to war- rant an effort to 3 i it. 1f but one-half of it can be made available for successful agri- culture the gain will far overbalance the expenditure necessary to roclaim it. Vast as the proposed undertaking is in the probable outlay it would involve, this is insignificant in comparison with the value of the results believed to he assured by those who have given the subject careful and inteiligent investi- gation. Just now the question of the safety of such a system of reservoirs as would be required naturally suggests itself, and it is possible the undertaking may en- counter some oppositiou on this score, but this can hardly be scrious. Modern engineering skill is competent to construct dams and ervoirs that will be safe, and which with adequate supervision ean be kept so. A matter of such vital importance and vast possi- bilities will not be defeated by a fear of something which skill and care can render well nigh impossible. THE PENSION DERICIT. The out that is being made in cer- tain quarters against Commissioner Taiiner, who is charged with being re- sponsible for the delicit in the pension fund, can not be justified by the facts. These show that the responsibility for the inadequacy of the funds is upon the predecessorof the present commissioner of pensions. When General Black took charge of the pension office his disposi- tion was to ask an ample appropriation for meeting the growing pen- sion demands, and his first es- timate to congress was for seventy- five million dollars, which amount was appropriated and expended during the fiscal year ending June 50, 1887. But meantime General Black appar- ently conceived the idea that the gen- evosity of the nation toward the old soldiers had been extended as far as it should be, and although there was a steady increase in the pension list he did not ask congress for any increase of the fund., He could not call for a less ap- propriation than seventy-five million dollars, but he would not increase it. The consequence was that the appr priation fell short of the de- mands for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1888, and the amount of the shortage went into the deficiency bill passed at the first session of the Fifticth congress. But even with this experience, General Black would not advance the figures he had fixed upon as the maximum amount which he thought the government ought to pay out for pensions, and he asked for only seventy-five million dollars for the current fiscal year, al- though figures prepaved in the pension office showed that ut least ninety million would be needed. Congress, howevor, showed a more liberal spirit than the commissioner, and voted a fraction over eighty million dollars for the current fiscal year, which was still nearly ten millions below the estimate of the pension office. The motive of General Black is suffi- ciently obvious. He was anxious for volitical reasons to make a record for economy in pensions, and it is not doubted that in this he had the full ap- proval of the administration of which he was u part. Had his party been sue- cessful in retaming control of the executive branch of the government for another four years it might have suc- ceeded in limiting the disbursements for pensions to the amount last appro- priated by congress, but it could have done so only by gross in- justice to thousands of solders hav- ing a just claim to the bounty of tte government, some of whom have been properly provided for under the present administration, The cxhaustion of the fund will cause some embarvassment to a considerable wumber of pensioners whe ave largely or wholly dependent upon this resource, but it will be but temporary. The appropriation for the next fiseal year will become available July 1, when the uppaid vouchers will m OMA!!A DAILY BEE: be taken up. ll ll uumnM thut m amount which will have to be made good in a deficiency bill will be ten or twelve million dollars, S——— STOP QUIBBLING AND GO TO WORK. Architect Myers is now in the city to confer with the commissioners regdrd- ing the county hospital. It has been manifest for some time past that there is only one course open for the commis- gioners if they intend to complete the building and make it safe for pntlcnu and their attendants. It is notorious that the contractors have from the outset sought to evade their obligations to carry out the plans and specifications with good materials and in first-class workmanship. Every- body who has secn the building knows what the commissioners have vainly tried to conceal, namely, that the ma- terials used are below standard and the masonry outrageously out of joint in every partieular. Tt is by all odds the worst boteh of a building that has ever been constructed mn this city. Now it does not matter who is re- sponsibic for permitting this inferior work. The primary cause of the whole job is with the contractors. They have Qeliberately put up a tumble-down con- cerh when the contract calls for the very best workmanship. It is all nonsense to debate with these contractors what part of the reconstru tion they ought to do, aud what partthe county must do to insure the safety of the county hospital. The only way out of the muddle andsthe way which would suggest itself to any business man, is for the commissioners to take charge of the building, and finish it for the de-~ linguent contractors as it should have been finished under the Myers' pians and specifications. The superintendent of the building is thoroughly competent to do this work if furnished the proper materials and allowed to hire the best mechanics. To quibble over this hospital and malke charges and counter charges only convinces the tix-payers that the com- missioners are unfit to managoe the county’s affairs. DEATH OF MRS R. B. HAYES. Ex-President Hayes and family will have universal sympathy in the death of Mrs.Hayes,and her demise will be most sincerely mourned by a very wide circle of personal friends. ~ To very many persons, also, who have been the recip- ients of her kindly consideration and generous bounty, her death will bring a keen sense of bereavement. Mrs. Hayes was a woman of superior qualities of head and heart. In her relations of wife and mother she was most devoted to the duties which these demanded of her, and in the home cir- cle she strongly impressed her own in- dividuality upon husband and children, who cherished fot her thefondest affec- tion and profoundest pect. Her life was thoroughly practical and abounded in good works. While meeting every social requirement of her station, she found time to concern her- self in behalf of *those whose condition in life called for philanth pic assistance. Without ostentation she did much and generously in the cause of charity. She wasalsoidentified with the temperance cause, giving it, however, little more than the aid of her support, never having “taken any espe- cially prominent part in promoting the cause, except, perhaps, in the matter of excluding wine from the white house. Mrs. Hayes wus for a number of years conspicuous in the public gaze, having been twice mistress of the governor’s residence at Columbus, Ohio, and for four years the “‘first lady of the land™ at ‘Washington. During this period her course was marked by a quiet dignity, a retiring modesty, and a gentle and con- siderate manner in all circumstances, which commended her to universal favor and praise. The exacting and many-sided society of the national capi- tal learned to appreciate her superior womanly qualitics and to honor her personal worth, while in her native state of Ohioshe was beloved by thou- sunds and held in the highest respect by all. She will be remembered among those who have made American womanhood honored in all enlightened lands. Tue dressed meat bill of Minnesota, which was passed in order to *‘protect” the home industey, is now being openly violated by the importation of dressed beef direct from Illinois, The measure has consequently failed to accomplish the object which its promoters had in id it is but a question of a short time when it will fall wholly into in- nocuous desuetude. Sharp lawyers have discovered that the law as drafted and passed by the lemslature ap- plies exclusively to the sale of dressed beef in the state, and can not interfere with its importation for consumption s0 long as it is not offered for sale. In consequence large consumers, such as hotels, boarding houses and the like, have made contracts with Chicago beef packers to be supplied with fresh beef daily. The consequence is that these large concernsisave middlemen’s profits, getting their beef cheaper than for- merly, and Chicago for the time being has become the retail market instead of the wholesale depot for Minnesota. The small consumer not benefitted by this arrangement is likely to vigorously protest when he is obliged to pay from wwelve to fifteen cents per pound for meat which is being bought by the large consumer at Chicago for seven. That will give the death blow to the embargo against the importation of dressed beef and Minnesota will repent of her folly. ———— interior department is finding ble trouble in filling the Cher- commission which is to treat with the Indians for the opening of the Cher- okee strip, Of the commission as orig- inally appointed, composed of J.

Itis not to be wondered at, therefore, that public men are fighting shy of an appointment which will bring them a great deal of hard work with very little glory. —— Tie legislature of Connecticut passed the second baliot reform bill last week. It is & moasure intended to meet the ob- jections raised by the governor to the first bill, which was a modification of the Australinn system. The chief point in the sesond bill is a provision insuring secrecy of the ballot. 7The state is to furnish official papsr and en- velopes of uniform siza and color, Rooms screened from observation are to be provided for voters at the polls. The selectmen of towns must provide envelope booths, which ave to be in charge of two persons of different polit- ical parties. to deliver envelopes to the electors, If an envelope containsa mark by which it -can be identified, it must be thrown out. Polling piacesare provided for every one hundred and fifty inhabitants, and violations of the law are punishable by a fine of one thousand dollars or imprisonment not exceuvding five years, or both. It is dif- ficult to discover just how this system will effect an improvement on the old method. Tt legalizes party polling booths and party workers, imposes a needless cost on the state for paper and printing, and surrounds the ballot box with o system of red tape that is as con- fusing as it 's expensive. As long as party workers ave permitted to annoy ind bulldoze the voters, no permanent reform can be hoped for. receive the census man next year ‘with a popu- lation not far short of a round million.
