Thobulk of this works was done in the states bordering onthe Mis- sisippl, notth and south, nd in the new northwestern states. The total for 1889 was fifty-two hundred miles of new road. The clesing months of the year are usually the most active in rilrond con- struction, and it is safe to predict that the totul for 1890 will exceod that of 1889. THE magnificent opening rally of the campaign in Omaha disposes of the ridiculous stories that the republicans of Omaha and Douglas county were “sulking in their tents.” These cam- paign yarns were industriously eircu- lated by the demoerats. The result shows that the republicans of the me- tropolisof the state are mot omly united and actively at work, but will demon- strate at the ballet box their unsverving allegiance tothe principles and ticket of the party, — AFTER resting in peace for & century, tho memory of Ben Franklin’s benefices is revived by litigation instituted by his descendants, Poor Richard willed five thousand dollars each to Boston and Philadelphiaas afund to asist boys in learning trades. The Boston fund now amounts to three hundred thousand dol- Jars and that in Philadelphia toone hundred thowsand. AlbertD. Bache, n great grandson of Franklin, backed hy newrlv one hundred heirs, has begun suitfor the recovery of the money. The petition of tho heirs sets forth that the provisions of the codicil of the will are void and in vioation of law, and that it 1s practically npossible to carey out the purpose contemplatod by Franklin. This is one of the many instances going to prove that where there isa will worth the offort, there will bo found an lheir willing to attacl it. — Tie BEE isin receiptof the first mum- berof the Labor World, the publication of whichexclted considerable attention in the United Kingdom and the United States during the past two weeks, Fow papass devoted tothe intercts of the in- dustrial classes begin life under more promising auspices, becauso its editor and proprietor is o man knowvn wherever the English languige is spoken. Mich- ael Davitt needs no Entroduction to the toilers ofthe world.

It may be said thatthe best years of his life have been given to the work of leading his follow country men from the bondage of Landlordism, and in prosecuting the great issue of lind re- form in both Great Britwin and Ireland, he has endeared himsell not only to the toilers of those countries, but is recog- nized as one of the great forces in mod- ern industrial thought and action. A world wide experience, coupled with courage and sincerity, the fatherof the land league will doubtless inerwuse, ns an editor and publisher, his many splen- did triumphs in the field and farm, The great army of labor the world over isto be congratulated onsecuring weckly the advice, encouragement or criticism of & Jeador who has been tested in the eruci- ble of experience and found pure coln THE DEVIL BLUSHED. Aboit three of foir yeirs ago we hodrd Mr. sosewnter, editor of Trr Bee,the Na- mleonof the run power in Nebrasks, make 1 speech Omaha. was inem law and order meeing in In theboginningof his address e discourteous enough to & large number tto o outof his wiy to attack probi- Ho usel thelr for high license saying that it broight so muchmoney intothe school fund. He said that the saloms of this eity had bought [ during the last 3 450,00 for school purpses. About a Wif a0 hour afterwards, in his sddres in dewouncing lwlesness and demandmg the enforcenent of law, in the axcitenent he exclaimed: “Why, the saloons of this city cost the coumty last year in criminl expenses a half-milion of dollars!” The prohibitionists present cheered most lustily, Mr Roscwater saw thathe had un- intentionally made o truth ful admission. He was docidedly nettled. So as a drowning 1D ZHsps it a Staw, be tried toexplain thit itwasall due to the fact of the cxistence of a'fewlawlss saloons” But what saloon is not lawlesst The crimes to which e rforred @s costing the county so much were comumitted by men under the in- flieneoof liquor bougeht in regular licensed and socalled respetable salons, and not i the low dogggeries running without licen se, midst of his S0, by accidnt inhis cxeitement, Rosowater for once told the truth alut the cst of siloonsand the 1oss to the county through them. “Fellthe trathand shame the devil" Doubtlss the devil, the fatier of lies, wis slameduntilhe bushel belind ks ears at this blundering almission of the truth by one of the most trustedand wnning employes ofthe nim power, We reproduce the above from tne Midlexnd, tho organ of the United Pres byterin churehas a fair specimen of the reckless missepresentation indulged inby intemperate prohibitionists, In this intance, the editor lsa mmister of the gospel that ranks malicious lying anong the most unprdonablo of sins, Must men and women who preach prohi- bition s the silvation of mankini stltify themselves nd slhnder their neighbors and felow.citizens in ol to muke conwverts to their cause? ‘What right hasany man who clains to be a Chritian and a gentleman to stigmatize those whodiffer with him on apurely political issie s employes of the rum pover and tools of thedevil?

When the high license law went into eflect in 1881 theliquor dealess in Oanha rebeled against the thou- sand dollar license and other provisins of the law, which they climel worked a great hardship upn them, TkE Ber planted itself squarely in fuvor of the enforcement of the lawandthe ditorof THE BEE pled with the mm power and j hands with the lawabiding citizens, in- cluling the leading ministers, whothen favored high licens What le said at the lawand order meeting is a matter of record. Fron that day to this nobody hasclassed him wnong lunaticsor idiots, and he certainly could not have used the language imputed to him wless he had been demented. During the whole year of 1882 the ex- penses of crininal proseeutions of saloon- keopers 'in Douglas county amonted to just five hundred and twenty-eight dol- lars and twenty-tvo conts, and the en- tiro rumning oxpenses of the county in 1881, including cost of eriminal courts, keeping prismers and pawpers and in- saue, building bidges, gading rods, public inprovaments generlly, and the saliriesof allcounty officials and inter- eston countydebt amounted to an ag- grogate of $150,851. 48, Does it stand to reason that the editor of THE Bik who has always been reasonably well informed about the management and fimnces of ourcity and county afiirs would have exhibited such inexcusable recklessness as o publicly declare that the saloons of Omaha cost this county half a million dollars in eriminal expenses duwring the previous year, moining the year 18512 ‘What will the fatherof lies, the devil, say to the reverend editor of the Mid- land, in viewof this startling discrep- ancybetveenthe truthand his wild aser- tions.

The convention of the Interna- tional Funeral Directors association is embimed in current history. Numerially anl intelectully it wns [ suecess, Its delibera- tions wore marked with impressive decorum, Thesordid affairsof the world were matters of secondary consideration, The one great object in view was to lift the prolession from the slugh of despond and enoble it a3 the lust but not the leastof all. So firmly was this hon- orable aim kept insight that the veter- ans of the cooling board who sought a return tothe simplicity of the fathers wers promptly mid handsomely lid out. Tho'spirit of progress is notably prom- inent among the funeral directors of today, The fathers and forefathers wora contont 1o plod their weary, wolul way as plain wdertakers. Onlyin the lust extremity was their acquuintance sought. Yot they posessed a tenler sympathy for hummity, and displayed a touching anxiety for the condition ofthe afllicted. The business wis under a shroud, 0 to spemk, but the rising gen- eration st it asde. Wilh reclkless courige fhey battered down social bar- riersand pushed to the front, not as common undertakors, but under the ole- vatiog title of funeral directors. This was thoe fiest greoat stride under the law of spectral evolution. The mo- ment the progressive members emerged from the cadaverous gloom of undertak- ing into the bright sunlight of funeral directing, the profession secured a con- spicwous place In the economies of natuwe, Where formerly their services were sparingly sought, they are now in- dispensible. So general I8 this fact recognized that whon a member s called to & home, be it the abale of affluence or the cttage of the,poor, he hangs his banuer on the outside door s & symbol DERTAK ER. stile arumant | | of benign favar From the humble lovel of the wndertaker, the fumeral director lias loaped to o plane of distinetion, bo- comethe petted marshal of processions and the comforter of the afflicted, As might have been expectod, the convention, from its commanding posi tion, treated with silent contempt the opposition of the ministers totheonward march of the molern funcral. Wit would life be to thedirector without an 0 lead the u'hnh hosts v\llh stat mein of tanksof tears through prominent streets, is an honor to which few moitals aspire, and those who reach the eminence, by courage and perseverance, an not to be gravely sierifieed fo sentiment Thoe evolution of the profession s posi- tive and permaneit. Gauged by the progross of the past, we may confidently look for greater strides in the future. Not aloneas builders of cities have the directors achieved greatnoss, but s artists of fishion and moulders of form they are unapproachable. Of tho mil- lions of putrons, wohave yetto hear f one vho has reproached them with negligence, or charged them with in- competency. The knight of the casket is marching proudly toward his glovious dostiny. A FAIR ELECTIO The republican party los always favored fair and free elections. A free ballot and an honest count has been ane ol its cardinal princips As exponent of true republicanism Tue BEE desires toplace thoe pending elec- tion abovesuspicionof trickery, dishon- ety or fraud.

If this were done the question of expense o our eitizens would ba wery greatly simplified, There isnothing new in the charae- ter of this project. As the committee says normal schoolsexistin many cities of the country, and they have beem foundso imporiant an adjunct to the prosperity of the schools that when once become perminent. and usefulness las re- ceivedextended and uniform demonstra- tion oughtto by a sufficient argument for those having chacge of the educa- tional interests of Omala. It isnot an innovation that is sought, but the insti- the officers of eledion for .the weiows wards and precinets of the city anl county. In view of the magnitude of the interests involved inthecoming election the roll of citizens from which the judges and clerks of election arve to be chosen, should be madeup of our most re putablo and vesponsiblecitinns, The ward bunmerand political heeler slouldbe givena wide berth, No man shouldbe madea clerk of election who isnota rapid and logible penman No man should be placed on the board who is disposel to be boistrous, quirrel- some, or . intempeate. All parties should have fuir wpresentation. The goes even further than that. While the prohilitionists in Douglas ecounty will poll less than twenty per cent of the entire vote, we recognize the pro- priety of plicing one pwhibitionist on the election bourd in ewch voting pre- cinct. More than this prohbitionists h no right toask, and with this con- wtion here of o well-tried system, the merits of vhichaveattested by scores of examples and yearsof esperience It isdesirablo that our public school tenchers shall be obtained, as far as possible, from among those who have mssed throughourschonls. The policy of proteetion tohoms industry is in this particularat Leist eminently sound and vise. It isan centive and stimulus to cfortwiththoss who are ambitions to enterthe educational field, and its tend- ency must be toinfuse into the 10018 greater zeal and earnestness. Thero isno good reason why the graduates of the high school who wish to becoms teachers shoull bs compelled to go avay from homs to sccure the requirved normul instruction, and there are soms who mightbecana shining lights in our schools who arounable to comply with this necessity. As to the plan fora de partment of theory and practice pre- sented by the conmittee, it is presumed sossion they ought t be content. AN INTERCONTINENTAL RAILWAY. There will mect inWashington during the presentmonth commissioners ropre- senting the United States, Mexico and countries of South America to decide upon the preliminary work for the sur- vey of the most practicablo roule for an inler-continental railvay. The commis- sioners forthe United States have been appointed, and Mexico, Bruil, Ven- eziela, Peruand Colombiahave seleeted their representatives, The asurinces received atthe state department war rant the expectation that a majority of the povers represented in the Pan- American congress will participate in this conference, and no doubt is enter- tained of saisfactory results. This project was strongly recom- mended by the congress of American na- tions held in Washington early in the prosentyear, and it has siice grown in favor both in this countryand the coun- triesof South America most directly in- torested, Our minister toBolivia, in a lato report to the state department, wiote enthusiastically of the roception the proposed enterprise had received in that country. He siid that one of the drawbacks to tmde with South Ameri- can countries is the cost of transporting goods from the portsof both oceans to theinterior of the continent, where, for themost patt, are to be found thecen- ters of the mining and agricultural pop- utation. Under oxisting conditions sup- plics for thess districls must be carried from the cosst by pack trainsfor adis- tance of from one hundred to eight hun- dred miles, and at grait expenso. The imjpetus given to South Ameria and to South American investments, as the re- sult of the international Americancon- ference, meins a largely augmented population in the mining and agricul- tural centers, nnda consequent ierewsed demand for supplies. With an interna- tional railway passing through thein- tevior of the continent, wrote the min- ister, this demand can be met bythe Tnited Siates as against thoworld. Once comected byrail with the country sonth of the isthmus, the Unitel States will becime the objective pointof the South American merchant and touri It is not doubted that the people of South Amnorics would prefer to trde vwith the Uniled States if they can do so on equal terns with those offored by other coun- The testimony is that they hail with satisfaction every proposition -that tends tothat result, and hence it is thut therecommendation for aninternational railvay is regardod with especiil favor. The vesult of this interst is al rady ap- parent in the projection of now lines and broul schemes of inprovement. “Ihis comprohensive schemo ofa great railvay connecting the continonts of Notth and South America is believed by those who huve given tho matter careful study to be ewtirely prac- ticable, although there are enormous obstacles to b overcome anl vist eapi- tal woull be roquived to com plete the wotk. But the question of practica- bilily, exceptas to what would be the first section of such o rallway—a lino from Mexico to Panana—and the character and extont of the engineering difficulties to be overcome, can only be definitely and accuratoly known from a general survey, and to providefor this is the object of the conference son to be held in Washington, cach governmont represented In which will meot its pro- portionate share of the oxpense of a sur- vey, This will bea work of time, prob- ably consuming two or threo yours, and if itshould resultin findimg an u\'ulnhle route foran inter<ontinentil trunk v way, there can beno doubt that the cap- ital necessary to comstructit would be forthcoming. The project is oneof such imposing magnitude that It isnot sur- that it was prgpared from a care- ful stwdy anl compmison of tho systems of other cities and embraces all that the commiltee believed to be best inthese systemsas applicable to Omaha, The board of education will of course Zive the p\.m thorough consideration, This subject is a_most intercsting and important one inf its relitions to our schools, and should receive from those having their welfare in charge thought- ful and careful attention.

Recent advices state that there is a growing interest inGrest Britain on tho question of using Inlian corn for humanfood, At the fairs of the pres. ent year invarious British citiescorn grownin the United States has been put onexhibitionin very attractive ways, and novel projects have been got up to secureits introduction as an article of diet fortheuse of the British people, Alate London dispatch siys there can beno doubtthatif the efforts now heing made to promote the consumption of In- dian corn in Great Britain are success. ful, a now and profitable market for this crop of the Unitel Stateswill be estab. lished, to the material advantage of American corn riisers, A very good account is given of the work done by Mr. Charles J. Murphy, representing the corn inferests of No- braska at the Edinburg exposition of this yesr. Mr. Murphydid excellent servicoat the Paris exposition, uder conditions not the most favorable, in introduwing tho chims of In. dim corn to the attention of Eu- ropean visltors, and the experionce there obtained enabled him,it would seem, todo much more at Edinburgh. Not only did he display beflore the multi- tudes at the exhibition, says theaccount, tho verdantstalks asthey grewin Amer- ican soil; not only did he give lectures forthe edification of his hearers; not only did he lisplay the com on thecob and the comn meal from the mill; not only did he tell of the hundred ways in which it may be pre pired for the table, but he also eooked tho fool inthe pres- ence of the publicin a great variely of methods, and served at nominal prices, o all visitors vho coull be in- duced totey any of its preparations, All this, it can’ casily be undorstood, wis a rovelation and awonder to the great ity of the people, few of whom had »uly any knowledge of the wilue n 08 fod,while fower still had evar belre tasted, any of the prepura- tions of it. The introduction of corn to the tables of Europonns Wil doubtless proceed slowly, wd itis"{iFy likely to find nc- ceplance more vapidly with the better than the poorgr clases. Among the latter the prujn::‘r o against con a8 a diet forhumun beings is 80 strong that they profor to it the poorest wheat or ryobread. But once the better clussas begin toextensively use it for its whole= some, nutriois and pulatable qualities its progress In gageraluse will be rapid. Meuntime the question is pertinent whether corn is as frecdy and generally used on the tblesof our own people ws it should be. While wa are urging it upon the altention of the pople of Europe as a nourishing, palatable and cheap food would it mot bo well to urge its larger uso among ourselv It is probable there are nearly as many peo- plein the United States who donot use |corn at their tables as there are in England and Scotland, so that if crn welo of universal use here as human food we should have little need at prosent to | go wbroad tofind s market forthe pro- duct. N Some of the prineipals in the Brook- lyn schools have decided that sevoral of Longfellow’s poems are improper, and henco they have asked that the roding of his works inthe public schoois be in- terdicted by the board of education, T'he conclusion reached by these purily crie saders has astonished the most careful readors and students of Longfollow's works.

ABOL) PORGERY. A bold and mysterious forgery has come to light in the First National bankof this city, but the olicers are mystified as to who per- petratedit. The finger of suspicion is poin ted toward John J, Fuller, the dapper dude and clover paiman fortnaly inthe employ of J, H. McMurtey, who could reproduce Mac's nane insuch a manner that be couldn’t tell whetherhe wrote it himself oxr not. Fuller is at present in the penitentiary for forgery. The casein point involves the forgery of six difl atnarnes, all well known Lincoln eiti- zens, andshows a perfect. knowledge of the Yarious mon and their business although tho forgery occurted at Kansas City. the Kirst National bank we.

Hallloked in astonishment at the paper bering his en- donement and declared that hehad not dis- posel of any notes, and on scrutinizing his own signature which appeared, pronounced iv a forgery. Mr. Scott was seen and he likewise pro- nounced his apparent signature a forgery, Further investigation developed tne fact that thesignatures of the notary, the witnesses, the county clerk and the deputy rogister wero also forged, and that Waters? notarial se .l had evidently been surreplitiously ob- tained andits impression made on the paper, “The stragest part of the matter is that theris amortgige sinilarto the one forged. Fuller, the suppsed forger of this document, was previus to his arvet engaged in the abstract business here and was a resident of Kansas City prior to and folowing that event. Hehadaccessto the records of the county hers and could therefore have copied the original morlgage from thoso ponderous tomes, J. H.
