THUS far this year the irrigating ditches in western Nebraska have been chiefly useful in carrying off the excess of water. 2 THE prohibition party of Nebraska is called to meet in convention at Lincoln August 5. This is the party which was struck by a blizzard last November. Nothing has been heard of it since until now. THE Chinese doctor who said be could cure a patient quicker for 810 a week than for 35 may, not have been discreet in the admission but he cer- tainly was more frank than some of his brothers of the medical profession. Rrv. SAM SMALL has withdrawn from the Methodist wministry and yet no charge of heresy has been brought against him, though his financial ortho- doxy has been seriously questioned by his associates in the University of Utah. Los ANGELES, Cal., has a population of 50,000, an assossed valuation of §4d,- 000,000, & city tax rate of about 24 per cent. Omaha hus 140,000 people, an as- sessed valuation of $21,000,000 and a tax rate of more than 6 per cent. Comment is superfluous, AWARDS of contracts for supplying the Sioux Indians with stock cattle have been made. A firm has secured the contract for 725 cows at $21.99 each. It is safe to say that milch cows at this figure will never enter into very sharp competition with the Nebraska cream- eries. THE Nebraska Undertaker's associa- tion announces its readiness to contrib- ute toward a world’s fair fund of $100,000 for Nebraska. In view of the fact that this organization can make a very poor showing in its line from this state, the offer must be accepted as both disinter- ested and public spirited. WYOMING is the coming mineral com- monwealth of America. This is a fact which will bear frequent repetition. Coal, iron, gold, silver, and other metals and petroleum will give her this posi- tion. Within another generation Wyo- ming’s wealth will be the wonder of the world. Mark the prediction, —— LINCOLN is naturally a beautiful city and the hand of man has added to the charms of nature until the capital is strikingly attractive. In these years of vigorous growth her citizens have not neglected the importance of something besides business blocks, manufactories, street and steam railroads, but have also made Lincoln an educational center, which will gttract to her the best class 0 feitizenship and give her a place in the hearts of thousands of Nobraskans whose school days will be spent in her midst. WaALTER S MAXW , the well dressed: gentleman from Los Angeles, who was proposed us chief of the bureau of horticulture for the world’s fair, was rejected and General N, P, Chipman nominated and confirmed by the world’s fair directory. Mr, Maxwell changed his clothes three or four times a day, kept his handsome face well shaved and otherwise exhibited the tendencies of the dude. This is the reason he was re- jocted. Genoral Chipman is rather too old to perform the manual labor of the wine press, but he is a good judge of wines and no dude. - He will probably be acceptable. THE king can do no wrong and the helr apparent is presumably endowed with something like the same infallibil- ity. On this account the public senti- ment of Great Britain will probably spend itself in resolutions of censure upon the prince of Wales and his gam- bling tendencies, while the prince him- solf will go on as before doing about as he pleasos. He will not be cashiered whatever befalls his master of buck- hounds and his associate cardplayers, fdenerals Williams and Levitt. If the queen does nst ontlive him the gay old man who has \hecall on the crown when she dies wil) “bke the throne as a matter of course. HE OMAHA DAILY BEE, OMAHA AS AN EDUCATIONAL CENTER. The recent action of the board of trus- tees of Bellevue college in changing | the name of the institution to that of the University of Omaba and arranging | for enlarging its scope so ns to conform | 1o the character of a university, is a step | for advancing this as an educa- | tional center apon which the community is to be congratulated. As already an- nounced it is proposed that the depart- ments of letters, science and arts of Bellevue college shall continue there, and that those of law, theology, medi- cine und other professional schools will be located at Omuaha. Some time ago Dr. George L. Miller donated land at Seymour park as a_site for the Omaha theological semirary, and this institution, which will open for the first time in September next, will become a part of tho University of Omaha. An effort is making to induce the Omaha medical college to consolidate with the university, and if successful the institu- tion will secure one of the best equipped medical schools of the wes Av any rate the promise is that this city is to havea uni ty which in scope and character will favorably compare with any in the country, and which may be expected to expand in usefulness with the growth .of the city and surrounding country. There is undoubtedly room here, if there be not an urgent demand, for such an insti- tution, and it is safe to predict for it a great and useful career. There is every probability that within the next two or three years Omaha will be the seat of a Lutheran semiinary. The very generous donation of land in this city for a site, valued at $100,000, recently made by Mr. Augustus Kountze, together with $350,000 in cash, conditioned upon another $150,000 being raised to construct buildings and furnish them, doubtless in- sures the seminary to this city. The proposition was accepted with little hesitation by the Lutheran conference and a substantial sum was subseribed at once, so that there is every reason to expect that the whole amount required will be secured within the time designated. The Lutheran de- nomination has no theologicil seminary west of Gettysburg, Pa., so that if one is established in Omgha it will provide for a wide region of country and will have relative importance. The law and medical departments of “the Wesleyan university at Lincoln, are to be removed to Omaha, and will be a valuable addition to the educational fa- cilities of this city. Thus Omaha, for years occupying a prominent place among the cities of the country for her excellent common school system, will, in the near future, outrank most of the cities of her class 1n the meuns of higher education. The prospect is one which every citizen can regard with a lively sense of gratification. THE OMAHA NORMAL SCHOOL. The Omaha training school for teach- ers cloges 1ts first year with a public en- tertainment in Boyd’s opera house on the afternoon’of June 24 On that occasion the graduates will receive theiv certifi- cates and a summing up of the year's work wiil be mado for the information of those present and the public in general. This training school is especially in- tended for Omaha young people who desire special instruction in theory and practice of teaching. It is a normal school at home under the supervision of efficient instructors who personally di- rect not only the classes studying text books upon pedagogy, but their actual . practice with classes ina primary de- partment. The school has awakened a great deal of interast. Twenty eight students have taken the course this year. They are all graduates of the Omuha high school. Only Omaha young people aro entitled to its bonefits. The “qualifications for admission ave resi- dence in Omaba, good moral character and a high school or equivalent education. Pupils of the private and denominational institutions of the city as well as those of the high school are admitted and welcomed. Residents of Omaha who have been instructed else- where, but who are able to pass an ex- amination in the branches comprising the high school course are permitted to participate in its benefits. The friends of this new departure are confident that its successful work th year has entirely disarmed any eriti- cisms which may have heretofore been current upon the general proposition of imparting normal school instruction at home. The board of educationis greatly gratified at the results achieved and the training school has apparently become a permanent feature of our system. — THE WORLD'S FAIR, The great event toward which Chicago looks with an interest which is contag- ious is an assured success. Nothing shory of a torrible calamity to the whole country or the city or a disastrous war can interfere with its progress to great- ness which can never be equaled by any previous world’s exposition. The Amevican peovle regard the coming event with well nigh as much interest and enter into its plans with almost as much enthusiasm as the people of the great city in which it is to Le held. They know that Chicago is equal to the occasion and there is no hint of a doubt as to their duty to contribute cheerfully and generously to the momentum with which the enterprise is moving on from hope and expectation to realization, Six states only of the 44 have refused to pass appropriations. These will un- doubtedly realize their mistake and re- call their action before the fair opens. In any event their public spirited citi- zens will contribute funds from their pri- vate means to make good the deficiencies, if any, and it is safe at this time to say that every state in the union will be creditably represented. Only 27 statos and territories voted appropriations for the centenniul exposition In 1876, and their aggregate amount was but 81,517, 000. Already 26 states have appropri- ated over $2,500,000. Pennsylvania’s total appropriations for the centennial amounted to $1,125,000, and the city of Philadelphia gave 81,500,000 more. The United States government gave to the Philadelphia exposition in 1576 $649, 250, and loaned the exposition $1,500,000. The national appropriation for the Chicago world’s fair is $1,500,000, cngo has not asked for a stock subscrip: tion outside of the city, but has put her solf in the way of raising $12,000,000 for the fair, Ofticial accoptances of the president’s invitation to participate have been re- coived already from France, Grent Britain, Germany, Spain, China, Mexieo, Peru, Honduras, Salvador, Costa Rica, Columbia, Cuba, Guatemala, Jamaica, and unofficial notices from Egypt, Morocco, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Ecuador, Brazil, San Domingo, Hayti and British Columbia. It is only a ques- tion of time when nearly all the nations of the globe, large and small, will have definitely informed this' government that they are to be represented. The world's fair of 1893 will bo the greatest and most imposing international event ever witnessed, if lavish expenditure and enterprise can make it so. A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION. When Hon. Denjamin Butterworth, secretary®of the world’s fair commission, was recently in Omaha, he mado a very practical suggestion to a representative of Tur Bek, which is worthy of consid- eration. This was that four or more states join hands in the erection of a handsome building. et them build it, said Mr. Butterworth, in the form of a cross, or after some artistio design, ns- signing a wing to ench state, and lot there bo one general assembly room or pavilion in the_ ‘center whero the peoplo from the various states can mest and mingle, and from which the thronging visitors can pass to each and all of the state departments represented in tho building. In this manner the buildings will be made more attractive and imposing, and no state will be missed by the thousands of sightseers. If the states, said Mr. But- terworth, erect separate buildings some of them will scarcely be noticed, because their buildings will be meagre compared with other great buildings, He stated that the idea of combining and erecting joint building has been favorably considered by some of the states farther east and will undoubtedly be adopted. “We would like to see,” said Mr. Butterworth, *‘Nebraska, = lowa, Kansas and Colorado unite in the erec- tion of a handsome building, h state oceupying a wing of the building.” This suggestion should receive the attentipn of the commissions of the above-named states which will have charge of the preparations of ‘their exhibits at the Columbian exposition. - The plan is entirely foas- ible, and it could be carried out with a saving of expense to the states in com- parison with the cost of a. scparate building for each. There is force also, inthe idea that state exhibits in a structure large enough to accommodate several of them would receive greater attention than if made in separate build- ‘ngs that would be overshadowed by the more imposing surroundings. The large majority of people are attracted by the proportions of a building, naturally ex- pectirg to find within it more for their instruction and entertainment. and as of the vast crowds that . will visit the world’s fair tens of thous- ands will have only & very limited time to stay there, all such will be compelled %0 neglect the smaller and separated dis- plays. Were the four states mentioned by Mr. Butterworth to unite in carrying out his suggestion, assuming that each of them intends to have a building for its exhibit, they could have an imposing structure of attractive architectural de- sign which could be constructed at three-fourths the cost of four sepavate buildings, and which undoubtedly would insure greater attention to their ex- hibits, Every consideration commends the suggestion of Secretary Butterworth as eminently practical and judicious, PRINCE AND PEOPLE. Immediately after the verdict in the baccarat case the Prince of Wales re- paired to the Ascot races with a number of his chums and was received there with a demonstration of what seemed popular enthusiasm. It was at once assumed that notwithstanding the dis- creditablo revelations affecting the prince in the gambling case the English people wore still so loyal to him that they were ready to condone the. part he played in that scandal. Unquestion- ably some of them were. ‘The class of whom Lord Chief Justice Cole- ridge said, “They are all very much pleased to have such guests as the prince of Wales,” wero very willing to show the heir apparent that they held him in no less regard because of the disgraceful episode in his career through which ho had just passed. The aristocrats on the one hand and the proi- etariat on the other could unite in throwing up their hats and shouting in testimony of their loyalty to the heir apparent and their indifference to the latest evidence of his vices. Even the lord chief justice, by the side of whom the prince sat durirg the trial of the baccarat case, could find palliating oi cumstances for his having introduced that most vicious of gambling games at Tranby Croft, and doubtless every gamblorin England quite agreed with his lordship. But the great middle class of Eng- land, the class which is. becoming, if it be not already, the most poworful and will ultimately determine whether the present form of the British government isto be permanent, hold a different view of the matter. These intelligent people whose conscience is not warped by the worship of royalty, and who do not feel that loyalty to their native land in- volves the necessity of compromising with vice in high places, are not satis- fled that the man who may at any time be elovated to the throne of Hngland and who therefore should set an exam- ple of virtue and dignity ana true man- liness to the nation, shall go unre- buked for having [failed to do this, They do not complain that the cheat, Gordon Cumming, was con- victed of his rascality and has suffered a deserved penalty, but they Insist that his associntes in vice shall not escape their just share of responsibility for the disgrace brought upoi the nation. They donot admit that wrong-doing by royalty is any less grave an offense than when committed by ordinary people, aod it is significant of the growth of a more fear- less public sentiment in England that l'hl-( | ‘and least they so declak dosire that y subjooted hey may not really prince of Wales shall be y form of punishment, 1l that ho shall suffer humilfation of being retired from the agmy, but they dao de- mand u."f.\"’ such official no- tice be takenof his conduet as will be a fitting rebuke and will not leave the na- tion in the pds@ion of having been in- different to figoffense, . The princdol Wales is long past mid- dle life. FoA ore than a quarter of a century he has occupied the position of rightful succbssor to the British throne. He has had the opportunity to be in deed, what he is by title, the first gen- tleman of England. But he has been chiefly distinguished for his gallant at- tentions to women and by his facility the for accumulating debts, and now in ad- dition to these the world knows him nsa persistont and not overscrupulous gam- bler, carrying about with him in his vis- its to country houses a gambling outfit. Surely the better class of the English peoplo would merit the contempt of all the world if they failed to condemn such a revelation. T LAW UPHELD. A decision has just been rendered by the United States district court for the middio district of Tennessee upholding the anti-trustlaw passed by the last con- gress, The case which called out this decision wag the prosecution under the law of a coal combination consisting of the Nashville coal exchange, Kentucky mine owners and the Nashville coal denlors, the purpose of the monopoly being to control the production and price of coal. It was brought as a test case, and Judge Koy in his decision held that the law is constitutional and said that the de- fendants in the caso must be perpetually enjoined and restrained from further violating the provisions of the anti-trust law by further carrying on their trade under the agreement by which the coal oxchange was established. The law thus having been victorious in its first attack upon monopoly, it is a roasonable hope that efforts will be made to apply it to all exist- ing combinations which violate its provisions. The act invests United States circuit” courts with juris- diction to prevent violations of the law, and requires district attorneys to insti- tute proceedings against offenders. It also provides that persons injured by the trusts may® aue and recover three- fold the damage sustained. It has been suggested thatft'is the duty of the de- partment of juitico t0 put in motion pro- ceedings against-the various trusts and combinations that can be reached by the law, but this does not seem to be neces- sary. No hapm would be done by the department of justice in- structing or’ advising the dis- trict attorneys agto their @Quty, and it would, perhaps, be well to do this, but manifestly the officials can proceed with- out such instructions. The law isnov exactly mandatory upon them, but it was evidently intended by congress that district attorneys sheuld proceed against violatgrsiof ghectmy without waiting for instructions from Washington or com- plaints from individuals. But still it might be a good thing for the depart- ment of justice to take action. for the en- forcement of the law. It is possible that it has been waiting for a decision in the test case before doing anything, and that having this the ‘department will now move for making the law effective against all combina- tions to which it applies. It is cortainly time that something of this sovt were done. The anti-trust law has been in force more than a year, and the republican congress which passed it, after prolonged consideration, intended that it should be enforced. It has thus far been practically a dead letter, thus causing the good faith of congress and the good administration in connection with this legislation, to be called in question. Trusts and combinations have multiplied and flourished in unmistak- able violation of the law, and opponents of the republican party have not been slow to use this fact for whatever effoct it might have in damaging the party in popular confidence. The administration could doitself and the party it repre- sents no better service than to take steps for ‘the thorough enforcement of the anti-trust law. — THE proposed Congo treaty and its rejection so far as this country is con- cerned by the United States senate has almost escaped recollection. In about a month the great powers of Europe will probably ratify the Brussels agreement guaranteeing that the slave trade and sale of breech-loading arms and intoxi- cants in the Congo shall be suppressed. ‘The United States cannot, of course, be- Gome a party to the convontion without the consent of the senate. That body will probably abide by its former action, though a motion to reconsider is pending. There are statesmen in that budy who contend strongly against the compact for tweyery good reasons, one of which is that'she spirit of the Monroe doctrine will 36 %iolated by formally entering into the agreement. The other relates to certainhoundary controversios between the rgpublics of France and Liberia in which:the interests of Liberia might bo compfFdinised.
