Although the question of tariff reform was only incidentally considered by the people, however much discussed by the politicians, in the late campaigns, and had really no influence in determining the results of the elections. the question 18 not dismissed from popular attention. It is still a vital issue in which the people of the whole country are deeply concerned and they expect of the Fif first congress such action in revising and reforming the tariff as will be fair and just to all interests, and will take the question out of politics for some years at least. s The republican leaders ought to re- alize that this is their supreme oppor- tunity to place the party in a position so strong and safe that it can retain control of the government indefinitely. There are indications that some of them do see and appreciate tho value of this opportunity, but there is still a 1arge number obstinately wedded to the old policy, and whether these can be induced to recede from their position, acknowledge the changed conditions which justify the popular do- mand for veform and in good [faith re- deom the repeated pledges of the party, is a question the answer to which will be awaited with very great interest by all who are concerned for the general welfare and future of the republican party. What is needful to be done, as THE i has already urged, is to remove the dead branches by skillful pruning. It has been fully demonstrated that a numbér of our manufacturing in= dustries no longer require to be propped up by a protective tariff. Du- ties on manufactured articles now freely exported in competition with the cheap labor which obtains in Kurope and Asia might be abolished without the least damage to American indus- try or to American labor. And justice to the American consumer demands that duties on this class of articles be either abolished or materially reduced, Georgo B, Tzschuck. being duly sworo, de- sicce he 18 now obliged to pay ores and eays that he is secretary of The Bes ¥ ‘ublishing Company, that the actual averago more ‘for thom than they aro daily circulation ot Tue DALy Bee for the | sold for abroad.

Fier, Ir journalistic mendicants have any claim on the charity of the county, the poor farm is the place for them. —— Tiur democrats of West Virginia overdid the job. Tliey cannot cover up the rascalities of the fraudulent ma- jority. THe anarchist wind-bag in Omaha is pretty well flattened out, and this seems to be the condition of things all over the country CoroNgL killing is developing into a manin in Kentucky. Unless measures are taken to suppress the slaughter, there will not be a corporal’s guard of colonels left by the next election. Di. SAVILLE is wiser than his col- leagues in the school board. Having dragooned the board 1o submit a re- jected proposition, he will start for South America to escape the coming wrath, — WE ARE again promised street car connection with South Omaha “in two weeks.”” Those two weeks have been coming for three months. There is danger that a blizzard will paralyze them en route. UNIY of purpose is essential to suc- cess in individual as well as municipal life. Omaha’s future as a great com- mercial center requires that her civi- zens sink all personal differences and join hands in advancing the material welfare of al Tue Bek favors the upbuilding of Omaha. We believe in supporting every movement which tends to advance the growth of the city. Ahove all things we believe that the time bas tome for concerted action to remove for sll time the rmlroad embargo. Toi the information of the public it may be stated that the Omaha Real Estate Exchange is in the New York Life Insurance building, corner of Seventeenth and Farnam streets. The concorn which does business in the board of education rooms, corner of Sixteenth street and Capitol avenue, is a separate and distinct organization. THE government directors of vhe Un- “ion Pacific bave come to the couclusion that they are of no use on earth for . anything or anybody. If their prede- + cessors had only come to the same con- - elusion twenty years agoas good many cases of champagne and boxes of fra- grant Havanas would have been saved for the use of the regular directors and officers of that roa THE city council displayed commend- able onergy in promptly meeting the general demand for & market house. The proposition to purchase the lease to the Exposition building, on the ap- proval of the voters, has every safe- - guard to protect the interests of the city. Noone‘can deny the importance of a market house to producers and con- sumers. It will prove profitable alike to both, and will materially reduce the cost of living The convenience of the location commends itself to ail sections of the city. THE number of propositions to be ‘ voted on at the coming city election will add to the complications imposed by the registration law. Four separate boxes will be required at voting places. *This will treble the work of the election judges and clerks. In view of the de- laysexperienced at the polls at the last election, and the indifference and in- . competency displayed by the officials in receiving votes and making up returns, it behooves the mayor and the council s to select frst-class men for the posi- tions. Active, intelhigent men should be chosen, and they should be instructed in thear duties in advance, One incom- _ péteut man at the polls will delay vot- e -ing and deprive many citizens of their rights- - < least affect the vrice of the labor em- ployed in their production, since that is already regulated by the export rather than the domestic value of the articles. Furthermore, if we intend to make an earnest and genuine effort to extend our foreign commerce, especially with other American countrios, a very gen- eral ravision of the tarifl and a radical change in our customs methods are ab- solutely necessary to success. We can- not reasonably expect to successfully compete with countries whoso fisal policy is far- more hberal than ours so long as we adhere to present policy. Though we su every other nation in our fac: communication and transportation, we could not successfully cogpete with Eu- ropean countrics while the high pro- tective tariff barriers are maintained. ‘We must continue to accept only the crumbs of this southern commerce or materially revise and greatly modify our tariff duties. leaders in congress must apply business principles to the solution of this question, and in or- der that they may do this they must free themselyes from the counsel and influence of the confederated monop- olies whose bulwark is excessive tariff duties. Unless they do this, thereby strengthening the republican party in the confidence of the peopie, they may find cavse in the results of the next con- gressional elections to regret their fail- ure to improve a supreme opportunity. WHAT NOBODY KNOWS. No election 1n Nebraska has ever been so thoroughly manipulated by railroad officials as the special bond election in Omaha will be on November 23. Yet Mr. Rosewatar has not scented the battle from afar and de- nounced oil room lobbies or monopoly man- ipulation, People talk about this and ask each other what has caused the change. Some say it is due to railroad aid in locating she city hall site, Some say it is the result of assistanco given by Kiwmball, Thurston and Holarege toward the movement to locate the postoftice at Eighteenth and Farnam. Others say— well, others say other things, but nobody knows.—World-Herald. People who say other things had bet- ter spit them out and be done with it, They have been saying a good many things in the last eighteen years about THE BEE and the motives of its editor, but nobody up to this time knows a sin- gle instance where a mercenary consid- oration swerved him from what he be- lieved to be 1n the public interest. Everybody knows, for instance, that THe BEE fought the Union. Pacific in seasen and out of season for twelve years, and bammered away at the high- e o s L waymaun’s toll-gate, the Dillonville transfer, and the Tenth street cow-shed. Nearly everybody, in- cluging some Upien Pacific mana- gers, was in accord with THE Beg in its efforts to compel it to reduce its bridge tolls and enforce upon the road a compliance with its obligations toward Omaha, But preeious few of our people were willing to show their hand in that fight. To use a common German phrase they ‘‘rolled their clenched fists in their pockets,” but when it came to any public contest in state conventions, before legislatures, and in the board of trade, the editor of THE BEE usually found himself backed by a very in- significant minority. Now, when the road proposes, in consideration of -another bonyus, to give Omaha what her citi- zens have been clamoring for these many years, but had not the backbone to fight for, THE BEE has reached the conclusion that Omaha has more to gain by allowing herself to be bled than by dragging along without needed depot and transfer facilities for an indefinite time, 5 People who talk about this should re- member that TiHe BEE urged the build- ing of the first viaduct on Tenth sireet instead of Eleventh, and predicted that the property owners on Tenth street would be damaged more by not having the viaduet than by its construction. Whether that view of the case influenced Kimball, Thurs- ton and Holdrege to favor Eighteenth and ‘Farnam for the postoffice and city ball locations is a very deep mystery. B e e it is suspected that Thurston’s views were warped by the one hundred and thirty-two feet he owns on the corner of Twenty-fourth and Farnam. But no- body knows. Others say that Judge Dundy favored Eighteenth and Farnam because ha owns a controlling interest in THE BEE building, but nobody, perhaps except- iug Judge Neville, knows. Others say that Hitchcock was in favor of the city hall location on Eigh- teenth and Farnam, which lies within two blocks of his million-dollar hotel site, but he wanted to play the disinter- ested dodge, while secretly working for the Farnam streot location, So far as the postofiice site is con- cerned most people would say that Hitch- cock was purely a public benefactor. The seventy-soven thousand dollu which he is to draw out of Uncle Sam’s treasury 1n consequence of the selection of the square opposite his father-in- law’s block, which alsodoubles in value, cuta no figure with him, Others say other things, but nobody knows. A PARTISAN BODY. The action of the national convention of the Woman’s Christian Temperance union establishes the position of that organization as a partisan body. The majority report of the committee on resolutions, adopted almost unanimous- 1y, declares that prohibition should be made the dominant issue 1 American politics, and pledged the union to the party which should declare for prohi- bition in its platform and stand for its application as a law. The mi- nority report, which favored a policy consistent with the original character and purpose of the or- ganization, namely, the promotion of temperance by moral and educational effort, was overwhelmingly rejected. This action fully commits the W. C. T. U. to the support of the third party, and it remains to be seen what the ef- fect will be upon the organization. The Towa members promptly withdrew when the convention rejected their views, and it is more than probable that other state organizations will fol- low their example. The partisan tendency of the union under its present leadership reduced its mem- bership during the past year nearly sixty thousand, and now that it has pro- claimed without reserve an alliance with the third party, and in favor of making prohibition a political question, the result can hardly fail to be a disin tegration that will speedily eventuate in destroying the organization. At any rate its influence and usefulnessare at an end. THE WORLD'S FAIR CON1EST. Tho contest for the location of the world’s fair which is to celebrate the discovery of America by Columbus has reached its most interesting stage, pending its transfer to the halls of con- gress. The four cities that want the fair—Washington, New York, Chicago and St. Louis—ave all prepared. except New York, to go before congress with strongly backed ¢laims. So far as Washington is concerned, it is of course understood that if the fair should be located there it would be distinctively and wholly a gov- ernment enterprise. The entire ex: penditure would have to come out of the public treasury, and if thore was any loss the government would have to bear it. The other cities propose to furpish an ample fuad as a guarantee against loss. Chicago has long had five miilion dollars pledged as a guarantee fund, and il necessary can double that amount. St. Louis is also able to pledge five million dollars, and doubt- less could raise any additional amount which congress might require. New York still lags, but will probably be ready with her five miilion pledge by the time congress meets. The claims of the several cities us to advantages of location and other essen- tial conditions have all been carefully and elabordtely formulated, and will be industriously poured into the earsof congressmen by persistent and eloguent representatives of these cities from now until the question is decided Chicago is the only one of the citie which proposes to ask no ap- propration from congress and having from the outset “‘led the pace” in the contest, that city has a bill alveady drafted to be presented to congress providing for the location of the fair there and relieving the United States from liability for any debt or obligation in connection with it. There can be little profit in speculat- ing as to the respective chances of these cities, but the present outlook appears most favorable for Chicago. A large number of congressmen are pledged to support that city as their first choice and many more favor it as their second choice. . The:probable di- vision of seatiment in congress will be: The eastern members solid for New York, the western members and those of the middle states nearly unanimous for Chicago, and the southern and southwestern members divided between Washington and St. Louis. If this should be the situation in congress a very interesting contest would be as- sured, with the odds considerably in favor of the Garden cit; DECLINE OF THE RANGE. The disastrous force of the blizzard in the southwest, coupled with the de- structive effect of the drought in the ranges of Wyoming and Montana, will seriously eripple the range cattle in- dustry of the country. Reports from New Mexico and por- tions of northern Texas and the Indian Territory show an appalling fatality among the herds in the track of tne storm. The blizzard belt is four hun- dred mileslong by seventy-five miles wide, and in this strip cattle have perished by the thousands, and thirly thousand head of sheep sre known to have succumbed to the cold. Such a calamity was never experienced in that section, and is financially ruinous to hundreds of ranchers. In the northern ranges the scarcity of pasture caused by the drought forced stockmen to ship out every marketable head. Tofeed during the winter was out of the question,and no one was brave euough to risk his herds ou grass- i less plains in severe weather. Placed | Towa to retire Mr. between possiBR disastor and low prices, the stockmen have chosen the latter, on the principle thgt half aloaf is better than no bread. But these ate mere incidents in tho gradual decay of the ranch busine Farmers are' ‘supplanting the cattle barons in every. direction. They have been driven gut of Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota, ant their territory is grad- ually but esrtainly diminishing in Montana, Wyothing, Colurado and in the southwest, ‘Vast areas of land have been added to, the tillable domain by means of irrigation, and within a decade it is possible that the major portion of the arid plains will be changed from cattle ranges to productive farms by ar- tificial moisture. This will not diminish the supply of cattle. It will distribute the industry among a larger number of people, who will have ample room for summer range in the mountains and fenced pastures and feeding stalls for winter protection. In this way tho cattle business will be secure from periodical disasters and be an unfuiling source of revenue for the owners. THERE is widespread interost in the question whether Senator Allison, of Towa, will be his own successor. There really ought to be no question in the mattsr, but as the republican m; jority in the legislature on joint ballot will be only six, and some of the repub- lican members are known not to be friendly to Mr. Allison, there is both doubt and solicitude regarding the result. Not to continue Mr. Allison in the, senate would be a misfor- tune both for Towa and the coun- try. His experience and ability place him in the front rank of contemporary statesmen, and io the vresent juncture the republican party needs his counsel in the senate and his influence as a pub- lic man. TFor years he has given Iowa a prominence and force in congre superior to that enjoyed by any other western state, and indeed by fow states of any section, and it would be a very grave mistake for the republicans of Allison when his strength as a party leader is atits high- est, and when his services as such are 50 necossary. to the welfare of the party. We confidently believe that when the republican members of the Towa logis- lature shall have carefully and ‘calmly weighed all the considerations having relation to the senatorial succession there will be no opposition to the re- election of Senator Allison. rations must file a sworn statement to-day that they have no connectiofi ‘with pools and trusts.

THE CATHOLIC CENTENNIAL, An Assembly of Notable Prelates at Baltimore. A MAGNIFICENT PROCESSION, Celebration of the One Hundredth Anmiversary of the Apnointmont of John Carroll as First Bishop of the United States. The Catholio Congress, Bavrivone, Nov. 11 Special Corree spondence of Tur Bee. | his 18 the era of centennials, And the one now bewng oceles brated in Baltimore in commemoration of the one hundredth anuiversary of the consecra= tion of the first Roman Catholic bishop in the United States is not the least note- worthy of those that have occurred within the past fow years. Hers are congrerated all the highest oficers of the church to do honor to the memory of John Curroll, first bishop of Baltimore. The establishment of a bishopric at this place was a historic event; for previous to that time the only bishops on the American continent were located in Quebee, Cuba and Mexico, Tho Right Rev. John Carroll belonged to the same family as the famous Carrolls of the Revolution. He was born in Maryland, at Upper Marlboro, in the year 1735, He was educated at the School of St. Omer French flanders, after whnich he entored the Society of Jesus.' When this institution was subpressod he returned to his native state and entered upon missionary work near his old nome. He rose rapidly through the various stuges until he becamo pastor of St. John's church. During the war of Inde- pendence he played an important part on tho side of the colonists and at its closo was in 1784 made prefect-apostolio for this country. Kinally in 1789 he was o ed a bishop with Baltimore as the titie of his sce. This pro- motion is the cause of the great celebration to-day. An old chronicle of tho year 1750 spoaks of the event in this lauguage: “‘I'ho American states have at last ob- tained bulls from Rome for the conservation of Dr. John Carroll, the first Roman Catho- lic bishop, by tho title of bishon of Baltimore in Marylund. By this he takes place in that sce before ull other bishops and has the di- rection of all Catholic affairs throughout that vust extent of 1 country. He is invested with full powers to con- secrate others, to erect colleges, setile and establish monasteries, etc. 'Lhese bulls empower him to go to Havana, Quebeo or any place in Burope where one bishop and w0 priests can bo present for the purpose of his own consecration; after which, it 18 said, ho will huve the charactor of logate apostolic to the states. This prelate wus legally elected by his clergy, and it 18 a piece of policy worthy of motice that, though tho states sauction this affuir, they will not ad- mit of any church establishment, to prevont feuds and prosecutions.” So in accordance with the provisions of the bull, Dr. Carroll proceeded to Knglund, whore he was conse - crated August 15, 1790, in the chapel of Lul- worth casule by Bishop Charles Walmesley. He returned to Baltimore, waere he busied himself with the work of his church. In 1812 he received the pallium which created him archbishop, but was provented by his death, which occurred December 8, 1815, from bearing the additional honors long, His successors in thosee were Archbishons Neale, srchal, Whitfield, Kccleston, Ken- drick, Spaulding and Bayley, in their re- spective order, until the preseot incumbent wus 1nvested in 1836 with the insignmia which made him James Cardinal Gibbons and gave him precedence over all Catholic digaitaries in the United States. Itis he who has in- vited the cluef prelates of the country to joun in the prescny celebration. The cercmonies begun yesterday with ponuitical mass in the cathedral at 11 o'clock, but this was preceded by a procession of all the cardinals, archbishops, bishops and clergy from thew various headquarters to the church. ‘There, under,a spotless sky, moved ermine and purple, sombre robes and biack caps, in almost endiess profusion. The pomp aud splendor coula woll vio with tho glory of sucient Rome in the time of the Cwsars. The street, blackened by the mass of eager people, was with aifliculty kept open 10 allow the vrelutes to puss, At last a muriour of expectancy arose from tho crowd s the golden crucifix at the head of the column could be seen glittering in the sunlight. Forward it came, pausing a moment at the gate, 10 pass through to the catbedrul. Followiug were tho rows of st dents from the neighvoring theological semi naries, arrayed io black gowns and mitre caps. Upon reaching the door the two lines separated, forming upon eachside, while the clergy walkea botween them. Then the seventy-two bishops in their purple robesand caps followed, wilie bemind them marched the archbishops. ‘I'he rearof this line was brought up by the special papal legate, Most Rev. Satolli, who had been sent as the pope’s nuncio for this paruicular occasion. His olive complexion at once marks his Italian nativity. At lastthe cardinals appeared and immedately formed the center of attraction for the Lnonuu?us of eyes straining to _catch a glinpse of thom. Slowly, side by sile, the cardinals passed aloug con- spicuous in the gowns and caps of the color from which they derive their titles, The costly ermine peeped from beneath their capes and marked with white the edges of their robes. Directly in frout of them was borne a large jeweled cru} cifix. Ricbly clad priests attended Cardinal Tashereau on the right and Cardinal Gibbons on the left, whilo in their rear a lino of boys, resplendent with ermine-trimmed capes of cardinal hue, carried the trains of the ex- alted prelates. When the armed body guard thut closed tne procession hud passed Up the stairs the heavy iron gates were swung, and in vain the crowd straggled and pushed to obtain un entrauce. None wero admitted who were unot provided with tickets. Within the cathedral mass was celubrated Archbistop Williams, of $30ston, and the sermon preached by Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphis, The music was rendered by two choirs, aggregating a hundred voices, After the services the prelates marched back to the cardinal's residence in the reverse order of the first procession, Such was the assembly of Catholic church- mon, the like of which was probably never before wituessed in this country. The civy is crowded with strangers and the hoteis tillel to the overflowing. The headquarters ol tho reception committee swarms with men in priestly attire, Dole- gations from all he large cities of the coun- try are present and Nebraska may place her ropresentatives with the best, Isishop O'Con- nor is the guest of Mr. Krank Murpny, at 714 Park avenue. Bishop Bonacum, of Lincoln, is registered at the Rennert. HBoth have been snown considerablo attention. For the centennial mass the former was us- signed a place in the fifth row of seats on the gospel side of the resplendent altar; the latter occupiod a seat in the second row on the epistie mde. ‘I'he Albion has been sclected @8 the headquarters for the Omaha delegation. — There aro rogistered Rov.
