One of Russin’s grand dukes permitted himself to fall in love with a countess and pro- }muod %0 bo her husband without asking his royal relative. As a consequence his name drops off the pay roll of the Russian army and he is deprived 6f his rank as colonel of several regiments named in his honor. It may be said to the credit of the disobedient youth, how- evor, that he proposes to have his own way about it, title or no title, pay or no pay, and will stand by the engngement, — THE example of the United States has found its latest emulation in Australia, where the commonwealth just created is founded upon & political system derived mainly from our constitution, Recently that instrument has been sub- jeoted to somo criticism abroad, and o fow statesmen and journalists have expressed the opinion thatit is nos with- out defocts, but uuquestionably it still remains, in the cstimate of the most in- telligent judgment of the world, tho greatest pisce of work of its kind ever produced by man. Atany rate it is the fountain o which all people seeking froo government go to find the prinei- phos necomary to the establishment of ropublicnn institutions, and in all proba- Bility 1t will remain so until popular governmeont everywhore prevails. THE MUNIOIPAL ELECTIONS Not a great deal of informaation is to bo obtained from a study of the munici- pil elections of the present weok which o predict a safe judgment re- garding the relative strength of parties in the states where such ¢ vore held. wore influential in dote sults, and it promising si miunicipal 10 local issues rmining th is worthy of remark ns a of the times, that these anvasses are coming to bo and more divorced from tional poiitics, Voters very gonerally are giving more attentionto the problem of reform in municipal government, by which they may secure w ont administration of those affairs that most nearly concern their interests and welfare. The cities are the conters of all the powers of eivilization, and it is therefore of the very highest impor- tance that they should have thebest gov- ernment attainuble. Tho great political quostions have no place in the govern- ment of any city., The aiscussion of na- tional has no in busi and stores, in tho of Tho idox is gaining ground that the adminisvation of mu is altogether a practical committed to the han: established ch rather than to thos os politicis 1t was and towns wheve just been held. And it to find that in anumber of la cities, as Philadelphia, Chicago, € cinnatiand Cleveiand it was largely suc- cossful, So far as the results indicate the rels tive strongth of paties, there is on the whole somewhat more in them for re- publican than for demoeratic encourage- ment. In most important cases where there was a straight fight betwoen the two parties the republicans were suc- cossful and the largely on their side. This was conspicuously the ca in the larger Ohio cities, and there is significance in this from the fact that Ohio elects state officers this year and the result will havean important bearing on the presidential contest of next year. ‘ith the political machinery of the large cities in republican control the outlook for the success of that party in the state election of next fall becomes much Morehopeful. Michigan is shown to be close, but in view of the fact that the democrats last yoar elected their candidate for governor by a large plural- ity the republican success this year gives very satisfactory assurance that the state will be safely republican in the presidential eiection. The general re- publican successes in the cities and towns of Kansas show that the party has mnot lost its vitality in that state. Inmost of the town elec- tions of Nebraska license or no license was the issue, so that the results indi- cate little as to the relative strength of the parties. The most important state elections of this year are those of New York, Maasa- chusetts, Ohio and Iowa. The outlook for the republicans in New York is re- gurded as very promising, the local elec- tions in the interior of the state last month having revealed some surprising changes, and thero ave indications that the domocracy is not so well organized as usual. In Massachusetts the repub- licans are gotting ready to prosecute a vigorous campaign and are hopeful of recovering control of the state. It seems to be a foregone conclusion that Major MeKinley will be the republican candi- date for governor in Ohio, and he will probably be opposed by the present gov- ernor, Campbell. This will mean one of the most stirring campaigns that state has ever known, and the present indica tions are most favorable to the repub- licans, who have always carried the state in the year preceding the presi- dential election. The situation in Iowa is complicated, and until republican policy regarding the prohibition ques- tion is defined, predictions as to the re- sult in that state will have little value.

Local boards of trade in several Ne- braska cities are working upon plans to t new settlers totheir surrounding cultural districts, Thoy have en- countered an obstacle in the shape of the refusal of the railroadsto run the usual harvest excursions. This is a matter which requires the immediate attention of every entorpris- ing community in the state. Without the harvest excursions it will be very discouraging to attempt to attract large bodies of prospectors and homedeckers. Petitions now in circulation, and being numerously signed, call upon the Trans-Missouri railvoad associ tion to vrevive the harvest ex- cursions in the interest of the whole state, and to fix their dates in the middle of May, Jure, August and Sep- tember. These petitions, which enih- nated from the real estate exchange of Kearney, have been sent to all boards of trado in the state and ave being for- warded, when signed, to James H. Smith, chairman of the traffic i tion, at Kansas Cit The petitions state, and very truth- fully, that “'if these excursions shouid be discontinued while the present false and malicious stories regarding Kansas and Nebraska are in culation, it would give crodence the stor and work great injury to the above states.” There is much force in this argument, and it should ap- veal to the public and lead it to bring strong prossureto bear upon the rail- rouds to reconsider their decision, A surprising amount of misinforma- tion prevails concerning Nobraska. Many eastorn poople bolieve the state is annually devastated by drouths and cyclones. They think the legislature has enacted laws to drive out capital and repudiate debts. The state has been rvecently advertised s a most oxcellent placo to keep out of. Now, when enter- prising citizens are seeking to attract settlers and establish the falsity of these stories thoy are metby the announce- ment that there will ba no harvest ex- cursions this year, { Public sentiment should immediately proceed to enlighten the railroad man- agors asto what the people want, and then everybody should unite to make this year's excursions move popular than 500 to THE OMAHA DAILY " BEE: FRIDAY, 1801. APRIL 10, honest and | should | avor before. Everything indicates that Nebraskn will be ready to receive com- pany inthe summer and fall of 1891, THE PRESIDENT'S WARNING. President Harrison has his Bohring sen proclamation stating the acts of cpngress under which the United Staves claim control and warning all persons not having au- thority ainst catching seal there, under penalty of seizure and punish- ment according to law, The sealing season will soon bogin, and it is und stood that the numbsr of poachers is likely tobe larger than usual. An Ottawa ch of some ten days ago that the fisheries de- wiment of the Dbminion ment had been advised that wdian sealing fleot in Behring ¢ this year than during formor seusons, It was stated that three for this flect are neaving completion at Vancouver, and that six osseis had been purchmsed for the ser- in Nova Secotia. The Dominion government has carefully refrained from issuing any instructions to the Canadian sealors for their guidance in Behring nd it is%stated that the impre prevails in Canadgian official civeles that theprotective serviceof the Amer! ruisers will not result in any seiz- The feeling is doubtless voiced by a Vancouver paper, which says that the United States, being without an ade- quate fleet, will be unable to enforce its claim: Th Washington of tions to guard n, issued to those waters, ot dispe stated gov- the will be larg new schooner: vice son, 101 ures, intimation from any unusual prep: aiust seal poaching in Behring sea during the coming season, but it is to be presumed the government will exercise at least the usual care and vigilance in this matter, and that in the event of an invasion of the waters over which it h claimed control and the capture of seal therein, those guilty of the act will as far as practicable be punished. It is possible that there ave two good veasons why the government has not been more active in making pro- vision _ for preventing poaching, one being the fact that the case of the sealer soized and condemned several yoars ago is to receive the attention of the supre court, and the other a possible > ment with the British government for exercising a common protection over the seal as a precaution against their ex- termination. In view of the disposition manifested by Lord Salisbury in his last communication, it would seem that he would not be unwilling to make some arrangement of this sort, pending nego- tiations looking to arbitration, if he could do so without prejudicing his case. The British government, however, will be largely controlled by the Canadian government, and the indications are that the latter is not well dis- posed toward anything that would be in the least degree a concession to the United States. It apparently would rather countenance poaching by its people, however destructive, and take all the risks which such a policy in- volves. The attitude of the Canadian government is as distinctly now, asin the past, unfriendly. The authorities at Washington can be depended upon to continue to deal with this issue wisely and conservative but should it be forced to adopt radical measures in order to protect the inte ests of the United States in Behring sea and to preserve from ruin a profitable industry, there can be no question that it would be sustained by the country to whatever extent necessary. There may be some interesting developments in this matter in the near future. NOT THIS YEAR. The amended city charter authorizes the increase of the levy to puy rental on fire hydrants from four to four and one- half milis. The levy bhaving been made for the present year at the old rate and part of the taxes having already boen paid, there can be no increase in the amount available for fire hydrants this year, President Lowry and some other mem- bers of the council to the contrary not- withstanding. There are now 1,163 hydrants in the city. The first 25 st 884 per annum. The city waterworks company receives $10 for placing each new hydrant above the original number and $60 an- nual rental after it is located. The y last year paid to the water company about $75,000, is 5 per cent on $1.500,000, ex- re has been no which clusive of the income from private con- sumors. ‘While there will be no money for additional hydrants this year, the sec- tions of the city needing protection can nevertheless be provided for by a redis- tribution of hydrants. Thereare scores of these, if not hundreds, situated at long distances from tho nearest build- ings, and there are locations where they are thicker than ward bummers at a primary eloction. The city should simply have these superfluous hydrants transplanted where they can be of service. When these hydrants are redistributed under direc- tion of the fire and police commission we can ascertain how many more hydrants we must have for fire protec- tion and where they are most needed. FUNDS FOR.PUBLIC WORK, Under the amended charterthe bonded indebtedness of the city may be creased from 10 per cent to 12} per of the ussessed valuation, This will per- mit an issue of $500,000 in bonds for grading, curbing, guttering, paving. city hall and park purposes. Already a part of this sum is tied up in the union depot litigation, but fully $350,000 can be raised upon the present valuation ex- clusive of the union depot bonds. Not to exceed $200,000 can be issued in any one year, The pro benefited pays some- thing like five times as much a8 the city for street improvements. After deduct- ing the amount which will probably be required for other purposes there wall be a sufficient sum available tosecure an expenditure all told of something near 50,000 in public work this year aside from the parks and city hall. Proba- bly the park oxpenditures can wait until the levy for next year is made and be covered by a special tax for the purpose as contemplated by the charter, This would increuse the ex- penditures and “make not less than 1,000,000 availfijfs from public and pri- vate sources, This is sufficient to greatly stimulato the ‘growth and commerce of the city if judiciohsly expended. Will'it be judisiously expended in the business contefd'and bn the principal thoroughfares,. or will our real estato speculators andvesidents of the suburbs in the council défbte the city revenues to | the opening of sireots, building of sewers and paving of cowpaths on the frontier? This is the poirt of groatest concorn to the public. A«council which the business streets for the purpose of making improvements to enhance the price of suburban acre property must give the people some assurance that the money will be appropriated where it is needed before another dollar of bonds is voted, T BEE has very little confidence in the prasont city government. It lacks much in ability, candor and honesty. The several departments are continually working at and paying off porsonal grudges. Nover- theless this public work should be under- taken and even in the hands of the pros- ont misfits who misgovern the city, pub- lic sentiment, the newspapers, the city attorney, the city comptroller and prop- erly owners can probably compel a proper expenditure, The council should proceed at the earliest moment to draft an ordinance for a bond election, spocifying distinetly what use will bo made of moneys ob- tained. Tuone Beg will undertake to keep citizens informed upon the pur- poses of all large expenditures and ad- vise them if any wasteful, corrupt or improper schemes aro attempted. neglocts business Cross purposes FIFTY years ago today Horace Greeley founded the New York 7vibune, and the semi-contennial of that journal is to be appropriately celebrated. A number of prominent men will participate in tho celebration and deliveraddresses, among them Secretary Blaine, Charles A. Dana, long associated with Mr. Gresley, and George William Curtis, at one time an editorial writer on the Tvibune. This groat paper, which has exercised in its time greater inflience upon thoe public opinion of the United States than any other in the period of its existence, grew out of the Harrison camy of 1840, in which Horace Greeley distinguished himself in the ef- fective discussion of public questions, The birth of the 7vibune was a notable event in American journalism, and may be s1id to have inaugurated an epoch in the extension of the power and influsnce of the press. The distinguished editor, whose name and fame will always be identified with it, demonstrated that *in the hands of men entirely great, the pen is mightier than the sword,” and it must forever be a cause of regret that he allowed political am- bition to lure him from the field in which he was pre-éminently great. The bune has had its share of vicissitudes, but it has long been one of the most profitable newspaper properties in the country, and it continues to exert an in- fluence perhaps more general than any other journal in the United States, THEe talk about jthe B. & M. switch- men’s strike in connection with the Newberry bill is the most arrant dema- gogy. Every tub must stand ou its own bottom. The conflict between the switchmen and the Burlington managers has no more to do with the maximum rate question than it has with the Aus- tralian ballot law. But our double- decker contemporary is like the sand- box on the top of the engine. It throws sand to keep its wheels from slipping after the shower it got from the railroad employes. ALTHOUGH the Kansas legislature re- fused to make an appropriation for the world’s faiv, her boards of trade and agricultural societies have made appli- cation for space and propose to raiso #150,000. This brings up the suggestion that #50,000 is not enough to give Ne- braska proper representation at Chicago. The trade and agricultural organizations should doublo it at least. THE resignation of one of the assistant secretaries in the state department will probably detain Nebraska’s senior sena tor at the eapital for a further poriod. He will not leave so long as there is an office to be, filled. Senator Manderson proposes to have absolute rest from oflice-scekers when he returns to No- braska. T8 notion of councilmen that public improvemonts shall be distributed by wards is a good one to abandon. Publiv improvements should be“nade whers they are necossary and the proportion of taxes paid by a given community should be considered in distributing conven- fonces. PRESIDENT HARRISON and party are toarrive in Omaha May 13, only a triflo more than amonth hence. The mayor and council and trade organizations should take steps for a proper reception of the party. All Nebraska and western lowa will wish to yisit Omaha on that day. The hurried adjournment of the leg- islature is responsible for a great many blunders and omisgions in the enroll- ment of important bills. [f as is now conceded, an extra session is impera- tively needed, these errors and omis sions cun be readily corrected. UNSCRUPULOUS dealors who palm off butterine for bultdr upon their custom- ers should not fdrizet that the penalty for being caught practicing this decep- tion is severe efibugh to be embarrass- ing, to say nothing of the reputation conviction gives the decoiver. THE BEE and the people of Omaha in- sist that any city official who will delib- erately or negligently destroy, mutilate or otherwise impair the appearance of any public document, should be publicly disgraced, discharged from the city’s service and punished. UNDERTAKERS quarreling over a corpse is a spectacle which men outsido the sucred precinots of the coftin makers will regard with horror. e — THE BEE rogrets exceedingly to note the strike of the E. & M. switchmen, There was reason for hoping that the would pull through this spring without labor troubles, MEXICAN ore comes to Omaha for tretament.
