THE secretary of the navy will, in a few days, issue proposals for the pur- chase of six hundred and sixty tons of steel plate for use in the construction of the new cruiser Texas. This large demand will undoubtedly stimulate the steel and 1ron industries of the country. THE Baltimore & Ohio is accused of having violated the agreement among trunk lines in cutting corn rates to Baltimore. But it has mever as yet been guilty of discriminating ugainst the commerce of Baltimore. As much purely cannot be smd of the Union Pacific in its rolation with Omaba. Is TaE Union Pacific depot project guffering from summer complaint? At first it was to be a million and a half dollar investment, and it is given out to have shrunk into an eight hundred thousand dollar deal. By the timeit is submitted to the council it will prob- ably waste away into a two hundred thousand dollar consumptive. Mg. WYATT, actingsecretary of the state of Colorado, will hereafter obey the orders of the court in delivering up the keysof the senate or any other chamber under s custody. He has by this time found out that trifling with the court is as dangerous as fooling with the business ond of an electric wire. ETHE announcement of the near ap- proach of the dissolution of the French chamber of deputies should cause a great deal of satisfaction not only among the French, butamong all lovers of good government, The parlinment has left nothing undone that would tend 10 make it an object of ridicule, and it has done nothing to merit the respect of fny one. Tue long drawn fight of the printers against the use of steam plate presses in the bureau of engraving and printing at Washington has tarminated to the satisfaction of the former. Secretary Windom has had the steam plate prosses romoved and substituted hand presses. Whatever merits the steam presses may have possessed, it is claimed that the work of printing will be better @one and the expense not largely in- oreased by it. « A GRRAT boom is vromised to the iron industry of the south by the efforts of ex-Mayor Hewitt, of New York, who ismow in Europe organizing o large syn- dicate for the purpose of working and mmelting the rich iron deposits of Ala- bama, There is little question but that the southern iron mines have already become a powerful rival to the iron in- dustries of Pennsylvania. THE secretary of agriculture has just established a new division in his depart- ment charged with the duty of editing the reports and bulletins issued by the various divisions of the agricultural ‘bureau. Much complaint has been found with the majority of the publications issued from this department due to the fact that they have largely been pre- pared by scientific men for seientific eyes. In consequence, much that was wvaluable and intended for the general ublic has been misdirected. Secretary usk has very properly determined that as the agrioultural department was imhd primarily for the benefit of the ers of the country, the various bulletins should be prepared in the plainest possible language so that every man who reads them could understand their purport. The new secretary of agriculture understands his business and intends to make his department something more than an experimental station for the entertainment of scien- tiie geutlomon with pet hobbies and theories. THE MILWAUKEE CAMPMENT. The projected annual ‘encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Milwaukee has been abandoned. Only delegates from the various posts, to the number of about nine hundred, will go to that city, whereas it was expected | that the encampment this year would e oneof the largest ever held, draw- ing together perhaps not less that two bundred thousand veterans. The abandonment of the encampment is due to the refusal of the railroads to give the members of the G, A. R. a one-cent fare. The roads offered to carry the veterans at one fare for the round trip,and all ap- peals failed to induce them to modify this offer. In view of the fact that a one cent rate or less had recently been given by the railroads to other organ- izations, the department commanders re< garded the refusal of equally favorable terms to the veterans as an unjust dis- erimination, and they unanimously de- eided to give up the annual encamp- ment and confine the Milwaukee meet- ing of old soldiers to the dele- gates from the G. A. R. posts. They advise all other members of the or- ganization not to go to Milwaukee, ns a matter of self-respect and self-defense, and recommend county and district re- unions throughout the various depart- ments. This action will undoubtedly be gen- erally approved by the members of the Grand Arimy. Thousands of them who were counting upon the pleasure of a reunion with old comrades will, of course, be disappointed, but they will cheerfully accept the plain duty of resenting the illiberal and discriminating action of the rail- roads. Unquestionably the managers of the ronds counted upon the devotion of the veterans to their organization, and their loyalty to the friendships of thecamp and the march, to insurea large attendance at the encampment under any conditions of unjust discrim- ination. It is necessary and important that these managers learn that the old soldiers, still keeping fresh and strong their affection for their order and for comrades, can sacrifice the pleasures of a reunion rather than submit to what they regard as a deliberate discrimina- tion against them. The real loss in this matter will fall on the railroads. The abandonment of the encampment means several hun- dred thousand dollars less for the cof- fers of the corporations. The Grand Army organization will not suffer, and the pleasures of -a reunion which the thousande of veterans who would have attended the encnmpment will miss will not be lost, but simply pestponed. Every member of the Grand Army not a delegate should respect the advice of the department commanders to stay away from Milwaukee. They owe it to the order and to themselves, and the effect will be to secure them fairver and more liberal consideration in future. CONSTITUTION MAKING. The work of framing constitutions for the new states is not making very rapid progress, but in all the conventions the spirit manifested gives promise that when the instruments are completed they will not only meet the require- ment of being ‘‘republican in form,” but will be in most respocts wisely adapted to the conditions and needs of the new commonwealths. While polit- ical ambition has to some extent colored the proceedings of the conventions, and there have been evidences of individual prejudices in propozalssubmitted; while the irrepressible reformer has made his appearance, and .the extremist on one subject or another has not been absent, it is gratifying to observe that none of these influences has thus far prevailed, and that on the contrary the conservative, patriotic and prudent counsels have predominated. There appears to be very generally among the members of these conven- tions a full sense of the great responsibility that rests upon them, and a high purpose to discharge the obligation wisely and faithfully. It i3 not only necessary that the constitutions shall to meet the approval of the presi dent, who will be thesole judge of their adequacy, but also that they shall pro- vide for a plan of government under which capital, enterprise and popula- tion may safely enter the new states. One of the most gratifying promises is that the constitutions of the new states will muke judicious provision for securing a purve ballot. There is noth- ing more important than this, and the fundamentel law should clearly define the means by which the ballot shall be protected from corrupting methods and influences, and the will of the people in all elections be fairly and honestly expressed. It is of comparatively little conscquence whether a legislature consist of one or two houses, or what the ratio of repre- sentation shall bo, so Iong as theve is a certainty that dishonest and corrupt methods cannot be employed to reach the logislature or any other publie office. Governor Mellette, in counsel- ing the convention of North Dakota to make provision for a puve ballot, did not in the least overestimate itssupreme importance. It is apparent that the new states will be solidly arrayed against all forms of monopoly. Con- stitutional provision will undoubt- edly be made in all of them for legislation agaiust trusts and like combinations for controlling products and restricting competition. The reg- ulation of railvoads is another matter certain to receive due consideration, and it is one which will require yery carefel treatment. The complete de- pendence of the new states for their development upon railroad communica: tion requires that the policy regarding the railvoads, while giving adequate protection to the interests of the peo- ple, shall not be of a nature to ex- clude capital from this class of investment in the now states. As we have heretofore observed, the danger that confronts the constitutional eonventions is that they will much, overloading the with matters which can and should be left to legislation. Ouly that which is fundamental should be incorporated in those wnstruments. Already numerous propositions huve been submitted whiclh be framed so us | do too | constitutions | 1t s not necossary totake constitutional recognition of, even if they would not be wholly out of place in the funda- mental law, there ig good reason to expect, from the cpirit and disposition thus far shown, that the completed work of the conven- tions will furnish little cause for unfa- vorablo criticism.

The fact that ex-Senator Van Wyck has recently bought a lot on Dupont Circle at Washington, affords the mer- cenaries who ure about to retire from the Omaha Herald an opportunity for firing a parting volley at Van Wyck, The assertion is made that Mr. Van ‘Wyck has decided to give up Nebraska as his residence and make Washington his permanent home. statement 18 coupled with a rehash of stale falsehoods and inuendoes about Van Wyck living in a barnin Nebraska and entertaining royally in a palatial mansion at Washington. This sort of badinage served its pur- pose during the campaign of 1886, but is entirely out of place now when Van is no longer There may be that Van Wyck unpardonable crime in building a resi- dence at Washington in which he en- tertained people from Nebraska and his colleagues in congress, but no fair- minded pevson will contend that John Sherman and Allen G.

But Van Wyek never lived in a barn in Nebraska, unless it was during terri- torial days. to belittle and blackguard him do not know perhaps that Van Wyck lived in Nebraska from ten to fifteen years be- fore they set foot on our soil. he was one of the members of the con- vention that framed our state constitu- tion, and he has resided in Nebraska ever since. Without definite knowledge as to what he proposes to do with his Wash- ington lot we venture to say that he has bought it as an investment. The lot islocated opposite the VanWyck man- sion that has been such a source of ma- lignant gossip. eligiblo fashionable quarter. builds another “mansion” upon that lot he will probably sell the one opposite and possibly he maysell both. these purchases and sales are his own affair and do not concern the public. The *‘barn” in which Vax Wyck sleeps when he lives in Nebraska is reputed to be a very handsome and comfortable farm house, with some twelve hundred acres of cultivated land and orchard as an attachment. Wyek may retire from Nebraska but we believe that he will make himself heard several times before he bids this state a final farewell SRE i3 no more nece commissioners to impose an ad- ditional levy of one mill on the taxable property of Douglas county for the pur- chase of a new poor farm than a wagon has neea of a fifth wheel. levy means an assessment on the tax- of about twenty-five thousand an expensive building for the use of paupers. ag a farm is u misnomer. been self-sustaining.

They Engage the Attention of Mana- gers and Capitalists. “Our proposition is still with the city council,” says Williams Wallace, when asked whether there was anything uew in the ef- fort to sell, for market house purposes, the exposition building. *“That body, so far as I know, is working on it. There is no means of knowing or finding out when we will get areport. If the city want: a market house she cannot do better than take that building, because i5 will answer the purpose admir- ably, and never again will an opportunity be offored to get one as cheap.” Inits present condition, according to Mr, Wallace, the Grand opera house will always be an expense to its owners, and that is the reason, it is asserted, they are anxious to get rid of it. The theater ran $5,000 behind on last season’s business. Mr. Wallace says also that if they succeed in selling the building neither Mr. Craw- ford’s contract nor anything else will stand in the way of 1ts beine turned over at once. "This statement, however, is contradicted by the latter’s friends, who declare that ho can hold Nis grip until the 18t of nexv April, and is filling dates through the entire arfusement senson. & Mr. Crawford is making desperate efforts though to secure the Boyd, and rumor has it that if he docsn’t get that ouse a new one will be built for him. ———— JAMES M'CLURG DEAD, The Celcbrated Cracker Man Diesin ®ittsourg, A.

The matter is causing considersble commient among lawyers and all the promi- nont members of the bar sustain Judge Hope- well’s action. Two weeks ago, this girl, charged with murder in the first degres, was taken before Lis hionor on & motion admitting her to, ball, She was represcuted by two lawyers — e Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. When Baby waa slck, ws gave her Castorta., Whin sho was a Child, aho cried for Castoria, Whon sbe became Miss, ahe clung to Cestorla, | Wb sk« Bad Cllldres, she gave thu, Castoria l Byler and Thompson, Judge Hopewell made some inquiries and learned that thay had been em- ployed by Miss Marsh's brother-in-law, William Ellersick, who was himself once arrestod for having .committed tne crime, The judge also talked with hor and learned that stic knew nothing about these men, had naver employed them and was not possessoed of means to_employ counsel. During the noon recess Judge Hopewoll consulted his as. sociates, stated the situation and they agreod that under the circumstances he w justified in ignoring talent hired by siok and_appointing an attorney to tako ohargo of tho girl's caso. The caief ground upon which this action was based is the fact that to acquit ner it may bo necossary to conviet Ellersiwck, and the court concludod sho would not bo properly dofended by lawyers undor obligution to Ellersick for their pay. Accordingly the judge appointed . 8. Strawn to take chargeof her interosts. Bylor and Thompson, of course, entored & protest. Two days later, they went to Sherift Coburn and asked for admission to Lena Marsh's celi to consult with her. The sheriff refused the roquost. Then thoy ap- plied to the supreme court for a writ of man- damus compelling Mr. Coburn to admit them to tho jail. In the application, they stated that the dofendant had employed them per- sonally and that tho sheniff had refused to let them consult with theircliont. Thoy also presented a copy of Judge Hopewell's ordor, ut fafled to accompany it with any state: ment of facts. Thoe aftidavit of Mrs. Eiler- sick in which she says under oath that she had talked with Lenasince Judge Hopewell's action and from her learned that she om- ployed Byler and Thompson, and wanted them to defend her, was likewise laid before the suprome judges. Sheriff Coburn says that this afdavit is a tissue of falschoods, Mrs. Illersick has not, he declares, beon permatted to talk with the prisoner but once since Judge Hopowoell's order was made, and that time the oase was not mentioned. ' Ono of the Jail ofcors was with them every minuto thoy were togethor, under instructious to prevent thom saying anything about the cuse. They were uot permitted to converse in German.
