In other words Omaha is to Nebraska what the heaa is to the body.

LAsT year the value of the corn, oat and wheat crop of Nebraska was™ esti- mated by the agricultural bureau at about fifty willion dollars.

The sugar trust has not . the reputatign of béing built that way. PROSELYTISM 10 Movmonism in ths country during the last twenty yoars has novt met with general success ex- cept in certain portions of the south. There are regions in Tennessee, West Virginia and North Carolina where the sect has grown to considerable im- portance. The suthorities of West Virginia are becoming alarmed at the persistency and favor with which Mor- mon missionaries are cavrying on thour work among the mountaineers. Polyg- amy is notalone prenched but is secretly practiced, and it looks very much as if the strong arm of the law will be involed to drive these people out of the state, or at least compel them to give up their polyganious customs. Ir 18 rumored that the city hall plans, now buing prepured in detail, contem- plate the tearing out of the entire foun- dation. This would ve a piece of reclk- less vandalism, Some of the very best architects and builders have pro- nounced thke greater purt of the city ball foundation as safe and amplo for ony five or six-story structure. To tear them out would be u waste of fully twenty thousand dollars. One of the most potentinl arguments in favor of retaining the city hall where it was originally located was the fact that tho city had already expended over thirty thousand dollars on the basement, All architects who entered competition for the city hall plans were given to understand that these base- ment wall were to be utilized as far as possible. 1f the successful architects are now leaving out of consideration the adapiation of their plans to the ex- isting state of facts they should be noti- fied by the proper nuthorities that such plaus will not be satisfactory, THE OMAHA DAILY BER: SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1839 POSTAL SERVICE REFORMS. The reforms in the postal service ex- pected under the present administra- tion could not be accomplished in a day. The service had bocome very greatly | demoralized under the previous admin- istration. During the nearly three years that Mr. Vilas was at the head of the postoffice department the postal husinessof the government went steadily from bad to worse. It was the first am- bition of that official to national notoriety as a and active partisan. Advanced to prominence from comparative privacy, and having had but a narrow political experience, he fancied that ho saw the way to national fame and a higher honor in turning the postal serv into a refuge for the reward of democratic politicians. He had very good success in doing this, but with consequences extremely detrimental to the service. Incapable and ineflicient mer by the thousands found their way into it until everywhere the service suffered demoralization to the great injury of the public. Another ambi- tion of Mr. Vilas was to make a reputation for cconomy in his department, and this he sought to effect by reducing mail facilities in portions of the country, the west suffer- ing most severely from this policy. All this was made apparent to the succeed- ing postmaster genegal, Mr. Don Dick- n, but he was so handicapped that he could do little to improve matters, however much he might have desired todo so. The incompetents that had guined admission into the service be- cause they were useful partisins had to be kept there. and, while in some case the facilities that had been cut off in order to make a show of economy were restored, every instance of which was a rebuke to Vilas, care had to be taken net to proceed too far in thus condemning the administrative con- duct of a member of ths cabinet. Thus it was that for four years the postal service, which had been raised to a high state of efliciency under republi- can administrations, was allowed to run down because of incapacity and a nar- row economy that took no accountof the progress of the country. Men who had given almost u life time to this service and knew its vequirements thoroughly e displaced and th positions filled y others who had lit or no knowl- edge of the service. The task presented to the new administration was that of almost completely reorganizing the service. Experionced men were to be restored, fucilities increased, practices prejudicial to the service oliminated. and a very general reformation offected. This was no casy task and required time for its acgomplishment. A year would not have been an unreasonable tims to allow the new administration for com- pleting this work, yet in the four months it has been in power there has been a very marked improvement in the postal service, and especially s0 in the west, where improvement was most needed. The reforms in- stituted and the greater efliciency at- tained ave apparent to all business men, ‘and they are an assurance of still fu ther progress. The revenues of the de- partment for the last fiscal year were largely increased over those of the pre- ceding year, and as it is the sole ambi- tion of the present head of the depart- ment to place it on a thorough business basis, keeping pace in its facilidies with the growth of the population and by i s of the country, he will be d to recommend to congress a liherat policy for the postal ser- vice, with evevy probability of having his recommend acceded to. SING PROBLEMS. The senate sub-committee investiga t- ing the relations of Canalian railroads ervican lines, as affceted by the -state commerce law, has resumed s. When the committee adjourned the investigation, some two 4ago, the weight of opinion it had heard was unfavorable to any legisla- tion which riminate against Canas ads to the extent of cut- ting off the The views of a few Ame i m were strongly in favor of suc 5 lation, but a large number of others were not, while the sentinent of shippers was umiformly opposed o restricting competition, ex- cept so far as this might rily re- sult from requiring Canadian roads doing buginess in tho United States to comply equally with American roads with the lutions of the inter-state commerce v., The information ob- tained by anothor senate sub-committee, investigating our comnercial relations with Canada, was to a like effect. ‘The question vow being investigated 15 whether the transcontinental lines are suffering a loss of business, through the oporation of the inter-state com- marce law, which is being di- verted to Canadian railroads, and if s0, whnether any leg: islation can be enacted to prevent it tee has received communi- eutrons from one or more of the officials the transcontinental lines urging the vemedy is to be found in the repeal of the long and short haul elause of the int 't, but there must ve stronger thau ha yet been presented to bring publio sentiment to accede to this view, This clause is the very backbone of the law, withont which it would amount to very little as n protection to the people against un- fair discrimination in rates. Scnator Cullom is quoted as saying that the evidence presented thus far has not indicated that we have suffered much from Canadian Pacific competi- tion, yet it is unquestionably true that a great deal of traffic which naturally belonged to the American vouds has been diverted to the ulien corporation. The statistics of the business of the roads, if correctly veported, clearly show this, It is very questionable, however, whether the remedy proposed by the transcontinental munagers would be effective, and it ecertainly could not be without a loss to the people. There arve other features of the prob- lem of our commercial and railway relations with Canada which are important. Both the question of allow- ing bonding privileges to the Canadian Pacific reilway and of assessiug a duty ou Canadigu-built cars are before the sd- faithful obtain | licitor of the treasury for his opinion, and results of considerable consequence affecting the trade between the two countries are dependent upon his de- cision. Tt is believed that the tendency at the troasury department is favorable to a restrictive policy towards Canda, but the department will take acti these matters with great deliberation, and maj leave them to the determination of congress, The pressure for placing restrictions upon Canadian railroadas, and for a volicy that would confine American traffic to Amorican lines, is unquestionably strong; but, on the other hand, there is a very large and vigorous sentiment in New England and the northwest in opposition to such a course. This the department cannot wisely or safely ig- nore, and the treasury authorities may prudently determine to leave this kuotty question, regarding which there h a wide and decided diversity of opinion among our own peoplo, in abeyance until congress ean consider and pass upon them in the light of the information obtained by the senate committees . CoamrssioNer ROOSEVELT has deemed it necessary to set himself aright on tho question of civil servico examinations by writing a lotter to the Milwaukee Sentinel. To th nds of applicants for federal offices, it will be intevesting to learn that Mv. Roose- velt never asserted that he could not himself pass the civil service examina- tions. On the contrary, M» Roosevelt says that people who speak about their soverity and their scholastic character, either err from pure ignorance or elso make malicious misstatements. The character of the examinations, accord- ing to the commissioner, is to test either the cundidate’s specinl fitness for his work ov else of his general good sense and intelligence. Tt is found that the average age of applic is about thirty-one, and the examinations aro drawn so a8 to suit the average man of full growth, and not boys just out of schools and collleges. And now the applicant who wants o federal position under the control of the civil ser comnmission shouid pluck up heart and and in no fear of the civil examinatic hou The ad sms of tho Amer- i at the i ¢ of annoy- anc we to the peopl 1 as to the Secretary Rus nettled at the repc the comn boen s cabled to of the United The reply received who have mine exhibft pronounce which the commissio agrees.

Then the alternative to war would be that partition of the Balkan rogion between Russia and Austria to whicl have thus far shown thomse and against which Montenegro would cer- tainly protest.

Sucn vould doubtless be expelled would accept 1 and a section onia, including Salonica, and permit the czar in turn to oc- cupy Bulgaria, the district of Adrianople and Constantinople.

The Magyars find it difficult enough, as it is, to control the Serbs comprised within the Transleithan kingdom, and they would never make such concessions to them as Count von Taafe has made to tue Czechs in the Cisleithan moie of the empire. Herzegoviua was only allayed by placing those provinces under an independent ad- ministration. That expedient could not be applied, should Austria acquire a large section of the sula, stretehing from the Dauube to the Aigean. Then the Transleithan kingdom would have to under- take its share of the work of assimilation, but the task would be impracticable for the Magyars, who are already In a majority, Instead of maintaining a preponderauce over their Slavic fcllow subjects, they would see their natioaality suborainated and effuced. 1o prasent disturoed condition of Belgium is due to the opposition by the ministry to the popular demands fora revision of the n. As all the surrounding na- ities enjoy uuiversal suffrage, or some- thiug vory ncurly wpproaching thereto, the masses in Belgium haye become exasperatod by their inability to take any part in tho government of their dountry, and have for somo yoars been clamoring for a largo ox- tension of the feanch This tho con- sorvative cabinet nbselutely refuses to take into considoration, | antl, strong in its large amontary majorty, obtained under the prosant antiquated ' electorat legislation, ro- sists all attempts to render the government a truly popular ohe. The great anarchist trial ' \ehich has just been concluded ab Mons brought to light the fact that the insyrrectionary outbreaks and socialistic risings which have done so much to disturb Bolgiim during the past two yoars were not only connived at but even originated with and were formented by the premier and the mijister of the interior, with the object of frightoning all tho well-to-do people from any inclination to support the popular demands for an extonsion of fran- chise. The premier had oven gono so far as to correct in his own handwriling the draft of the revolutionary manifesto calling upon the socialists to rise and march upon Brus- scls, and the document in question was actu- ally produced during the trial at Mons. Russia seems to have accomplished at last her long-cherishod purpose of securing an exclusive port for herself on the coast of Corea. Deor Islund 1s the point she is said tohave acquired as a coaling and naval station, and o Russian man-of-war now con- trols all landings aud departures there, For several years this project of Russia has been spoken of. At ono time she was said to have seized Quelport, n large island exceedingly woll situated for approach to China, Japan, and Corea; but its lack of a good anchorage in n sea swepted by florce storms during a part of the year was an impediment to earry- ing out that plan. Then it was alleged that she had her eyes on Port Lazereft, in Bough- ton Bay, a good harbor on the castorn const of Corea, and well sheltered by the Makhim- off Peninsuia. It was even reported uhat China made up her mind to anticipate the seizure of this placo by sending troops there. Finally, last Octobor, Grand Duke Alexan- der went to Corea, had an interview with the king, and, it is said, arranged for the requisition of a port at Funei. Judgo Owen, the king's forcign adviser, was thoughi to be concorned in this, What- the details, Russia appears at last to red a port south of Viadivostock.

I suggesic to him that his proper course would have been to have submitted his findings to the board before making them public. I have been in favor of a reduction in the coal rates sinco our meeting at Tekamab, and so stated to Secretary Garber. There is no feeling whatever botween Secretary Garber and myself or any member of the boara. Ido not think Garbor guilty of ‘artful posing,’ but as having done what e considered to be his simple duty.” *'Since my return from tho north the busi- noss of this departmont has been so great that T have not had timo to even read Secre- tary Garber’s letter,’” said Attorney General Leese, “and do not know 1ts contents. If, however, as stated, it lowers tho ratoon coal and live stock, T am in favor of it. Iam not only in favor' of lowering the rates on these articles, but the rates in general are too high in this state, T will give the letter careful consideration before the meeting of the board of transportation, and will act in the mattor as I believe for the bost interests of the peoplo of the state. I have had no conversation with any member of the board regarding Mr. Garber’s removal, and T will sustain lim_or any other member of the bourd for making reductions on freight rates. Ican say further that no member of the board ever said anything to me about asking for his resignation. Snch a suggestion even is an injustice to him. I have watched him carefully since lis appointment and find him toboa close thinker, a hard worker and a thoroughly conservative man. And I do not believe that he will go very far astray.” “'As a matter of facy,” said Secretary of Stato Laws, ‘wo have had no meetivg of the board and there is no misunderstanding between any of its members, I can say, oo, that so far as I know there is no misunder. standing between tho board of sccretaries, I never heard of the suggestion that Garber might be asked to resign until I read it in Tug Brr this morning, While I might critcise Mr. Garber for having published his findi on the Sutherland-Manning case, redus rates on coal and live stock, in ad having submitted them to the board of trans- portation 1 can also say that1 think all the more of him for having given his own opinion, free from bias and from Lis own tundspomt.” *I was surprised to seo the statement in Tug BE this morning,” said Treasurer J. 1 Hill, “that there was trouble between the state board of transportation and Secretary Garber, of the board of secretaries. I think 1 hoara some criticism of his course n pub- lishing the report before the board proper sed upon it, but Tam not sure of this, Since s report the board has not even held amecting. Garber 1s held in high esteem, and I am satisfied there has never been a whisper to the effect. that his resignation was wanted. 1must say Tur Bee bureau has done him great injustice.” “In regard to the recommendations made Secretary Garber, I have this to say,"” ary Gilehrist, Monday, before the report was published, which was on Wednes- day. “Tsaid to Mr. Garber, who was at that timo working on the report, 'that I was going to Grand Islund that night 'and might not be back for a couple of days. He said, ‘I have ot this report nearly fimshed aud want to submit it to the board as soon as possible.’ 1 said to him if Idon’t telegraph to you I will be back Wednesday. I returned late in the night Tuesday, and Wednesday morning saw the report in the daily papers i full for the first time. My understanding was that the report was to be considered by Gilkinson, Garber and myself and then submitted to the board for their consideration. I signed the report in the evening of the day that it ap- peared in the morning. My 1dea of the right thing to do is to submit any conclusions the sccrctaries may arrive at to the board before they are submitied to the reporters of the daily press. So far as the report gocs, thut this matter has caused unplcasant or disu- greeable relations between Mr. Garber and myself, there is nothing in it.” “Yes, I have seen the report in this morn- ing’'s BEE about the hair pulling supposed to be going on in the board of trade trunsporta- tion,” said Secretary Garber. “IUs news to me. Ihaven't scen any fur flying. Every- thing is lovely and harmonious so far as [ know, and I have talked with about all the membors and the secrctaries. Some little dissatisfaction exists, I believe, owing to my recommendations being made public beforo action was taken by the board. But on the whole I am inclined to think there is a feel- ing of relief at the same time. T think I can safely say that there existed among all mem- vers of the board a strong betief in the un- reasonablencss of the ‘existing local coml rates, The extent of the unreasonableness wus & matter of individual opinion, so far s conclusions had been arrived at by awy of the members. To have someone sct the bull rolling, so that a_conclusion can be arrived at witliout a shouldering of the responsibility by any one individual member is, 1 judge, gratefully received. My idea on the questions are firmly estub- lished. Thoy are contained in the report. My purt in the business is done, Whatever action the board sces fit to take cannot alter my conviction as to the justness of the pro- posed rates as between the people and the railroads. If there is a leaning towards either sido it is certainly in favor of the railroads. I am convinced 1 could go over the same ground again and find incontro- vertable arguments for a still greater reduc- tion than is proposed. I may yet have to do 50 in justification of my position.” LINCOIN BUREAU OF THE OMATIA 1388, % Somewhat Political, Iu 15 learned that Chairman Richards w 1i coll a meeting of the republican stato central comuittee in a fow days, to fix the basis and make the delegation apportionment of the various counties of the state, and to decide upon the time to hold the state convention.
