The only question is, how far will our tax levy go toward providing additional facilities, That is the problem with which the fire and police commission must deal judiciously, It is possible that the board may be able to lop off ‘some expeuses in other directions, This should by all means be done. — THE acquisition of the Omaha Herald by Mr. G. M. Hitehcock and its consol- idation with the evening World mate- rialized yesterday in the first number of the World-Herald, Mr, Hitchcock is to be congratulated upon the culmination of his ambition to bo the owner of a great and influential daily. He is now in position to command patronage which his afternoon paper could not hope to secure and to cover a field beyond the liwits of Omaha which no afterncon Ppeper in Qmaha can successfully invade. WHERRE SHALL IT BRE? It having been pretty well settled that the country is to have an interna- tional exvosition in 1802 to celebrate the quadri-centennial of the discovery of America, the important question is, where shall it be held? Public sonti- ment, o far ns it has been heard from, is divided between New York and Whashington. In the former city the question of locating the exposition is being discussed with groat earnestnoss, the newspapers being, of course, a unit in the opinion that it would be the worst possible folly to hold the ex- position in Washington, and that no- where except in Now York could there be any assurance of ita being a success. The merchants and tradespeople come to the nssistance of the editors, gnd by dint of much intellectual effort from a variety of sources there has been piled up a mountain of argument in support of the claims of New York. The ad- vocates of Washington simply insist that as the political capital of the country, it is the proper place for an exposition commemorative of the dis- covery of America. It is not to be denied that from a practical standpoint the argu- ments in favor of New York are forceful. It is the commercial metropolis of the new world, with a population of its own ana at its doors large enough to almost insure the financial success of an exposition; 1t is more accessible than Washington, particularly to people from abroad who would be attracted by the exposition; it has ample accommodations for a million of visitors, and it has many attractions of its own not possessed to an equal ex- tent by any other city. It is very likely true that the manufacturers generally of the country, and all others who would make exhibits in the exposition, would rather send their products toNew York than to Washington. It is en- tirely reasonable to suppose, also, that the financial results would be very much larger in the former than in the latter city. A lack of adequate accommoda- tions at the national capital would doubtless deter a groat many poople from going there. All the practical considerations are unquestionably in favor of New Yorl, and there would perhups be no considerable opposition to having the exposition held in that city but for the very general feoling that it is the greatest and least liberal community in the coun- try. It is cver on the alert for any- thing it can turn to its advantage, but it is proverbially slow in contributing to anything in which there is not a promise of immediate and liberal profit. The people of the entire country un- doubtedly have a pride in the great metropolis—in its mighty financial and commercial power, the vast influence it exerts in the world of business, the splendid achievements of civilization it represents, and the position it holds as the exponent of American enterprise and progress. For all this the Ameri- can people are proud of New York, but they are not well disposod to encourage the Wall street spirit of speculation and gain which scoms to extend to every- thing with which the metropolis con- cerns itself. The next congress will -be asied to appropriate five million dollars for the proposed exposition, leaving the rest of the necessary money to be supplied by the other American- nations. With the appropriation the question of loca- tion will be dacided, and meanwhile the discussion of the matter is likely to grow in interest. Chicago nas al- ready modestly suggested her claim to be considered, and in the not improbable event of the contest be- tween New York and Washington wax- ing hot, Chicago may receive consid- eration. Nor is she without verystrong and substantial claims. As the young- est of the great metropolitan cities she typifies more fully and fitly even than New York the vigorous and rapid march of American progress, and she represents more truly the best spirit, character and aspirations of the Amer- ican people. Chicago could provide abundantly for all who wonld visit the- exposition, and she has attractions far exceeding those of the eastern metropo- lis. Possibly an exposition at Chicago would attract fewer foreigners than if held in New York, but the loss in this respect woutd be largely overbalanced by the vastly greater number of western people who would go to Chicage in prof- erence to New York. There can be no reasonable question that the exposition would be a great financial success if held at Chicago. In case the contest between the advocates of New Yorkand Washington should embarrass or en- danger the proposed enterprise we have no doubt the whole country would gladly accept Chicago as a compromise. ——— Ti'E POLITICIANS AT WORK. Scheming by ambitious politicians in the prospective new states, even while the work preliminary to statehood is in progress, was to have been expected, It 18 inevitable and unavoidable in our po- litical system. The trained politician who is seeking preferment understands the necessity of laying his wires early and attending closely to them when they are laid. He is not greatly con- cerned about considerations touching the public interests. In the effort to advance his personal ambition he would as readily embarrass and retard the business of a consti- tutional convention as the pro- ceedings of a ward caucus. Men of this kind are sufficiently numerous in the territories preparing for statehood, and they are not standing back untal the preparations are completed, They ave actively and persistently at work in their personal interest. There can be too much of this sort of thing. It is said already that the scheming of the politicians has some- what hampered the main work of the conventions, and there is danger that it may do what wduld be far more serious, lead to unsatisfactory results, In Washington the work of the convention is said to have been made subordinate to the awbitions of two individuals having senatorial aspi- rations, with the effect of creating a good deal of friction and bitterness. Nothing quite so unfortunate as this has developed in the other new statos, but it is well known that there is a great-deal of fine work being done by the politicians in them, from which there may arise at any time dissatisfac- tion and disaffection. If there is no way to prevent objec- tionable and troublesome personal zeal, which takes no account of any other considoration than that of advancing the political fortunes of the individual, there is a way to punish it. The men who would subordinate everything to their own ambition, regardless of pos- sible consequences, the people should refuse to honor with their support and confidence, There is strong reason for keoping out of public positions men whose eagerness 1o attain them carries them to the extreme of hazarding the harmony and security of the party. There is no discredit in desiring and seeking oMce, so long as straightfor- ward und honorable methods are em- ployed, and other than mere personal considerations are not disregarded, but those who are disposed to make every- thing yield to their personal ambition deserve to lose the stake thoy play for. The supremely important duty of framing for the new states con- stitutions which are to provide perma- nent governments for future millions of people ought not to be embarrassed by partisan zeal or personal ambition. ————— AS 170 A DEADLOCK. The Philadelphia Record, which has a claim to speak for democratic senti- ment, does not think there is any reason for apprehending a deadlock on the organization of the next congress by reason of the fillibustering of the democratic minority., That journal says that the repuplicans, having an absolute majority of the next house, are entitled to control its organization. ‘‘As the republicans will be responsible to the country,” says the Record, “for the logislation of congress, and for the en- vire adwinistration of government, they should be permitted to organ- ize the house without let or hindrance, 50 that they may gat down to business as speadily as possible. This is no doubt the sentiment of the democrats elected to the Fifty-first congress, as well as the entire democratic par There will be no deadlock of the house unless the republicans shall make it themselves.” The Record’s attitude is ungquestiona- bly correct, and the country will be gratified to find that it accurately re- flects the view of democratic members of congress and of the party generally, Dbut there is some reasou to apprehend that in the latter particular it is mis- taken. A number of democrats, senn- tors and representatives have [from time to time been quoted as saying that it was the sottled policy and purpose of the democratic minority in the house 10 resist at every hazard and to the last extremity any attempt on the part of the republicans to change the rules so as to give the majority the right and the opportunity to assume all the re- sponsibility for legislation. Repre- sentative Burrows and other republic- ans who have expressed the fear that there would be a deadlock, undoubtedly had some more substantial basis for their opinion than rumor or conjecture, It is safe to presume that they had demo- cratic authority for their apprehension. Otherwise a candidate for the speaker- ship would hardly have given such wide publicity to an opinion which con- tained no reservation or qualification. At any rate, if the democrats in con- gress have decided to pursue the course the Record says they will, the fact has not been announced on the authority of any of them. It is to be hoped our contemporary is not mistaken as to democratic intention, but vepublican members of congress will be wise in taking the coun- sel some time since tendered by a democratic senator, to be on hand to occupy their seats when the next con- gress assembles fully prepured to stay there. Their wary opponents may mean to be straightforward and fair, and al- low the responsibility to go where it be- longs, but nothing can be lost by keep- ing a vigilant eye on them and being prepared to defeat possible obnoxions schemes. THE U. P. TOLL-GATE. The motor line carries passengers from the Paxton house w0 the Ogden house, a distance of five miles, for ten cents. The Union Pacific charges twenty-five cents from the Omaha depot to Dillonville, a distance of over two miles. This rank imposition on the traveling public has to be submitted to because the Union Pacific has a monop- oly of the rondway between its two depots. Right here is the secret of the policy which has placed an embargo on Omaha’s intercourse with eastern roads and has been and will continue to be the barrier to areal union depot in this city. So long as our citizens permit this high- wayman's toll-gate to levy upon every passenger and every pound of merchandise going and coming into Omaha over the Union Pacific we can expect no relief. Even if a union depot, it would bs simply a delusion and a snave unless tho bridge embargo was raised and all trains are permitted to come and go in and out of Omaha by merely paying the actual wear and tear of the roadwa; e—— A REPORT of the official work of re- lief accomplished in the Conemaugh valley since the flood has just been put into the hands of the mayor of Phila- delphia by the state relief commission. It would appear that the total expendi- tures to date in the Conemaugh valley, Johnstown and vicinity aggregate iwo million two hundred thou- sand dollars, - The number of persons fed has vacied from a maximum of thirty-two thousand to a present commissary roll of seven thou- sand, while the number of distinct claims to be passed upon involving the interests of families or dependent rela- tives number nearly four thousand. Four hundred portable houses and two hundred to be built on the spot are al- ready under way and the number will be increased as fast &s practicable. There has also been alarge distribution of shoes and clothing and . this form of relief will be continued for some time longer to the needy. The magnitude of the work in hand may be realized from these facts and figures and ex- plains where it is that the vast sums have gone to. 1t is the purpose of the. stato reliéf commission to extend help in all needful directions with the great- ost dispatch consistent with the best judgment. The problem confronting the commission is one certainly of deli- cacy requiring the utmost celerity and the wisest discrimination. In their pur- poso to affol relief, not to make good the lossod for property destroyed, the commlssid“ Kn adopted the only rea- sonabloe course that could be pursued in accordancd with the wish of nine-tenths of the peogle who contributed to the fund. As PREDICTED early in the season, the record of railroad construction for the first six months of the present yoar has been light. According to compotent authority some fifteen hundred miles were built, less than half the mileage track luid during the same period last vear. The construction for the six months has been covfined almost ex- clusively to short lines and feeders. Track nas been added to one hundred and twonty-five lines. The average con- struction on each would therefore ex- ceed not more than twelve miles. This is certainly a most conservative record, and of whatever other sins the railroads may be guilty, they certainly can not be accused of reckless railroad building for the first six months of 1889. The char- acteristic feature of this railroad exten- sion has been short lines for the devel- opment of local traffic. There has been absolutely no paralleling of existing roads for speculative purposes, and the result of building for business only can not fail to have beneficial results. THERE seems to be a disposition on the part of some of the members of the board of education to abolish the present system of furnishing text books to the pupils of the high school on the ground that these books cost almost as much as all the other books used in the public scheols. It is to be hoped that the new board will look into the matter. If it be found that extravagance and waste- fulness has been indulged in, the abuse should be corrected. But manifestly it would be wrong to discriminate against the pupils of the high school on false grounds of cconomy. It appears that the original cost of books for the public schools was something like five thousand dollars and that the average lifo of such books is five years, costing the board about a thousand dollars a year for re- plenishing the supply. On the face of this statement there is nothing unréasonable in the cost of fur- mishing the#6hools with text books. THE heavy rain storms which have .swept ovor: a large area of Nebraska during the past fewdays are an unusual meteorologicalsphenomena for this time of the year. '\Were the present month to follow the common rules of pre- (‘,edonce,Ju‘lf would be hot and dry with now and then'a storm of but local im- portance. But the violence of the pres- ent electrical disturbances, combined with their frequency and extent, make them a proper subject for inquiry by the signal service bureau. The com- mon theory of the present wenather man- ifestation is, that as but little snow fell last winter and spring, the average amount of precipitation is now being made up in order to restore the equi- librium. But this rule cannot be ac- cepted without reservation, and the weather prophets will now have a chance to speculate upon the unusual phenomenon. THE prospectus issued by Mr.Hitchcock to the putrons of the late Omaha Herald cannot 1ail to impress democratic aspir- ants for office with grave apprehensions for their future. Notice is served on the democrats in advance that the support of their candiaates will be dependent upon their ability to fill the ideal which the editor may form in each individual instance as to their fitness or lack of fit- ness for any particular position. This will make the democratic candidates pass in review before Mr. Hitcheock acting in the capacity of civil service commissioner. The average democrat has a natural dislike for such an ordeal. THE prospective heavy shipment of cattle to Europe within the next three months promises to revive, for a time at least, a former great industry which has been suppianted by the dressod beef industry. A vent will be found for the overproduction of cattle and the mar- ket will be eased of the present glut. A better tone is expected to follow in the cattle business, and the great ranges of this state, as well as in Wyoming and Montana, are likely to be benefitted by this movement.

Amelie Rives-Chanler recently wrote to a friond in this country that she had decided to abandon literature for art. Amehe de clared that the prizes of literature were not worth striving for.

Barrow, The ministerial wnstitute at the Christian church commenced last evening with a ser- mon by Rev. R. C. Barrow, state evangelist. A large number of ministers from the vari- ous Christian churches of the state were present, besides a fair attendance of laymen. The speaker took for his text, Romans 1:16, “Iam not ashamea of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the power of God to suve men.” The speaker said: ‘At the time these words were written there were probably no Christian churches n the world. But there were no hospitals or other benevolent institutions. These have multiplied by the side of the church. The society of christians were very feeble at this time. They had no glittering temples like the heathen. They had no philosophy, no _institutions, Iut Paul was not ashamed of that gospel. It is not philosophy or metaphysics, but the gospel of God alone that can save the sinner. Whu?hlhu gospell (God's power to save men.” Continuing, the spaaker dwelt particularly on the power of God,” giving as an example the power the Deity puts in & grain of corn. ‘It can not be equalled or simulated. The most powerful Corliss engine in syour city might be buried n the earth, but it will never grow into a corn stalk, It may haye power, but not that of a grain of corn. ‘We must have faith in this gospel, If an angel of heaven, with the light of paradise upon his wines, would come to me and tell me that the gospel preached by tho apostles was not true I would not believe him. I would spurn him and say, ‘Heaven's curse restupon you.' The gospel must be obeyed, Anything you can’t obey is uot gospel, I believe in education, but all the colleges in the world never saved a human soul. It is the gospel of God alone that can save men, “T'he wish is fatherto the thou Had news we will not let oursclves belic but goud news is always received without ques- tion. I do not believe that there are man christian women in Nebraska to-day who would go to a pagan shrine and renounce the religion of Christ, while I believe that there are many who would endure martyrdom if necessary. I would insist on our 1mplicitly obeying the gospel.

Treasurer Hill Not Opposed to Their Registration. THE PERMANENT SCHOOL FUND. An Explicit Statement Regarding lts Disposition — Kearney Kntor- prises—Two More Jail Birds ~Capital Nows, P Starer, LixooLx, July 15 “I soa that one of the Omaha papers takes me to task regarding the registration of tho Adams county bonds,” said Treasurer Hill this morning, **and it is but just that I bo sev right. The fact is, [ advised the registration of that county’s bonds, but I do not mean to take upon myself the credit due to Auditor Benton's action, Stll, the faoct that I ad- vised the course that ho pursued is suficient o prove that the oharges made against me are unwarranted and unjust. Iaiso coun- seled the purchase of the Butler county bonds, and I was one of the parties instru. mental in their negotiation, although estop- ped by the causes pending before the supreme court, touching the constitutionality of the new law, and the subsequent resolution passed by the board of publio lands and buildings, forbidding any purchaser of court house bonds, voted under the new law, for the reason that the permanent school fund might be jeoporaized. Iadopted the policy of purchasing b per cent bonds at par when 1 came into office, and the permanent school fund is safely invested in this way. In fact, whon the Butler bonds were negotiated, it was the specified undorstand- ing that they wero to be paid out in install- ments, for the fund in hana_was exhausted by prior purchases. When I took charge of the state treasurer's office there was $139,- 055.40 of the permanent school fund on hana. Kveory dollar of this has been safely and wisely invested in first-class 5 per cent bonds bought at par. This fund now is coming in slow. More bonds could be purchased, but the fund is practically exausted. It ought to be remembered that the interest on common school lands is not due until next January, and no more will be paid in until settlements are made with county treasurers. The in- terest on leased lands is payable semi-an- nually, but at this time the receipts, if any, are the result of calls. I can state tho further fact that we have had the chance to purchase $100,000 of 5 per cents, between now and January 1, but have had to pass them because we cannot hope to get in over $10,000 by that time.” The District Court. The adjourned May term of the district court couvened this morning, Judges Chap man and Field both being present. Mack Golson, the Fremont bigamist, en- tered the plea of guilty on the charge against him, and the court sentenced him to eighteen months in the penitentiary. The plea o guilty secured for him the clemency of the Gourt, hence tho light sentence. A second application for an injunction the Cass county county court house fight was argued pbefore Judge Field. It will bo re- membered that an injunction was asked a few weeks ago to restrain the issuance of $50,000 court house bouds, recontly voted, on the ground that the law under which they were voted is unconstitutional. This appli- cation was argued and submitted, but a de- cision has not been reached, aud it will pro- bably be taken under advisement.
