COLLUSION betwoen ]mr hasing agents of public institutions and contractors for supplies isa common source of corrup- ton. The peculiar fluctuations of prices shown in Hastings' asylum contracts sloarly indicate that there is some un- ferstanding botwoen biddors and pur- chasing agent at that institution. A FACTION of Moqui Indinns is fignt- ing ngainst the invonds of civilization. It is the last strugglo of tho snake dancers against the progressive Moquis who aro willing to come down from_ the rocky mesas to the valley farms. A de- tachmont of troops on tho ground will probably demonstrate to the recalcitrants that the government will not brook op- position to schools and farms, but will forco the foolish savages to nccept the bonefits tondered. MANY an old citizen- of Omaha und Nebraska will read with regret that Hon. B. .. B. Kennedy, the father of the fish commission, ane of its original mem- hers and a most enthusiastic dovotee to piscioulturo has been daposad by Gov- ernor Thayer. No man in Nebraska has done more for the distribution of fish in Nebraska waters. Ho and Lou May of Fremont have formed a team which will never be improved upon for this department. They are both demo- crats, but the fish have not in any in- stance given ovidence of apostacy. THE people of South Dakota have an excellent opportunity of proving to the enstorn philanthropists that western people are not the enemies of the peace- able Indian they have been represented to be. The trial of the murderers of Few Tails, a friondly Indian, presents the occasion. If the case is made clear against the accused it is to be hoped tho jury will not allow the Plenty Horses finsco to influence their verdict. The killing of Few Tails was an atrocious murder. The culprits should be made to suffer. It will do South Dakota’s repu- tation great harm to acquit them if the ovidence shows them guilty. Urau democrats have very little voice in the national convention, but such in- fluonce us one vote can exercise will probably bo against Grover Cleveland. The Utah straw is a trifle lonesome but it shows neveortheless that there isa slight broezo blowing against the fleshy lawyer who wants another four years in white house. The breeze promises to be a regular Washoo zephyr in Nevada and the west and it will beno slight storm in many othor sections of the union. History repeats itsolf and the ox-president will bo voted out of public lifo pormauently again for an indiscreet utterance upon an important economio topie. It is quite too common an occurence for the purchasing agent of a state in- stitution to quietly inform « friendly contractor exactly what supplios are on hand in abundance and what will be needed for the next guarter. The con- tractor therofore puts in extremely low bids on the goods which will not be re- quired and names remunerative prices for those which he koows will be in demand. In this way his average prices are very low while in reality ho is so well paid for every- thing he furnishes under his contract as to enablo him to divide with the pur- chasing agent. In cnse soma other bid- der than tho rticular friend is sue- cossful in spite of those manipulations, the shrewd purchasing whose ‘pake-off” is not promising proceeds de- liberately to deprive the successful bid- der of reasonable profits by making very large orders for goods in which there is little or no profit and very small orders on such as will net the bidder good turns, The purchasing ont needs watching at all public institutions. It he is honest the vigilance causes him no annoyance. If dishonest ho may be detected. agent ro- ag THE APPROPRIATIONS ISSUE.

Every farmer in the land, he romarks, has felt the revivify- ing influence of the proper application of the large appropriations for the agri- cultural department, and with equal cogency and forco he points out the good effacts, realized or certain of reul- ization, of the liberal appropriations of the last congress. The effort of the dsmocratic press to make the appropriations of the fifty-fir: congress a live issuo, and to croate po litical capital for the demoera by the charge of extravagance, has thus far failed. It will not succeed. The Ameri- can people are practical, and they will not believe that an honest expendituro for the enlavgement and 1mprovement of mail facilities, for increasing the navy 80 that it shall be capable of defending our seaports, for adding to the ability of the agricultural department to beneflt the farmers of the land, and for improv- ing the harbors and watorways of the country so that they shall be of servico to our internal and foreign commerce, is wronz. Nobody justifies extravaganco in public expenditures, and on the other hand no intolligent man approves thut sort of economy which fails to make adequate provision for the necessities created by the country’s progress, oster reminds the demoe- boen incroase are. of vor eritics find result, REPUBLICAN CHANCES IN NEW FORK. New York will elect state officers this yoar, and the campaign in that state will hardly be second in interest and in the importance of its result to the cam- paign in Ohio and Towa. If the Empire state should go republican this year it would be regarded as practically settling the presidential contest of 1892 in favor of that party. If it should go democratic it would remain in the list of doubtful states for next year. It is interesting to consider the chances of the parties as now indicated. The groat want of the republicans of New York is a lieader who can unite them and hold them in line. They aro casting about for a man of this kind to nomi- nate for governor, but it will evidently be difficult to find tho right person. Perhaps Mr. Depeyw is the most availa- ble man who has been named, but it'is undarstood that he could not be induced to accept the nomination. As a railrond president he has an annual income sev- oral times greater than he would get from the oftice of governor, besides other advantages which he could not have as the servant of tho wholo peopla of New York. Moreover, were he to be elected it would do him no great good in a polit- ical way, while defoat would be a very damaging blow to his prestige. It is not known that at present Mr. Depew has any political aspivations, but if he s it is not clear that they would be promoted by his becoming a candi- date for governor. It has been sug- gosted that the republicans should nom- inate u farmer who has been faithful to the party, but who has not boen a placo: seeking politician and has not been of- fensive as tho member of any faction, and the suggestion isgood. There nust be a number of thoroughly eapable men of this in Now York upon whom the party would be more likely Lo unite than upon any of the regular politicians, and who would draw from the opposi- tion. It would doubtless bo an excellent thing for the party to rolegate the bosses to the Year for a time and try men whoso republicanism is irrepronchable, and have not boen ongaged in tho strifes that have divided nad weakoned the party, It is not to be doubted that if this were dons republican chances would be greatly im- proved. The democratic situntion is peculiar | and puzzling, This is due to the known designs of Govornor Hill, control of the democratic machine pears still The givings of the gove organ indi ath class some new who un- whose ap- out- havo ving to be absolute nor's atod that he contemplates s ed torm, and it is by no means im- probable that this his intention. There are precedents enough in tho his- tory of New York by which he could justify doing so, and tho incentives are vory strong. In order to socure any standing in the next democratic national convention he must retain command of the party in New Yorlk, and while he might do this by naming his successor he would cortain of it if he should succeed him- solf. But ho cannot seek a third term be | senate, and as his plur | but 19,000 a fensive, which will deprive THE ()MAHA I)AILY BEE:- }«VI' l)\II without glving offense to a considerable ’mr-uln\ refuge n..w,.r... of ox-rebols and number of democrats to whom his mothods of promoting his political greed must be repugnant, and it is by no means to be inforred from his past suc- i coss that he could bo elected a third time. There is reason to believe that Hill has lost strength by his course in holding on to the office of governor aftor he was elected to the United States lity in 1888 was omparatively small defoc- tion would defeat him. Whether a can- didate of his dictation would be stronger than the governor himself is doubtful. Perhaps nothing bottor could happen for the republicauns than for Hill to run namss the candidate, and undoubtedly he will do this, that ought to be almost as favorable to re- publican success. It is to be prosumed thereare thousands of democrats in New York who would be no more disposed to accept Hill's creature than Hill him- self, The democratic situation in New York a8 it now appears is favorable to repub- lican success, but the chances of the lat- v party winning depend upon its abil- ity to find a leader who can harmonize tho factions, unite the party and hold it together. As we have already said, this may be somewhat difficult. THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. The people of Minneapolis repudiate the statement telegraphed- from that city to the effect that they have grace- fully retived from the race for the ational republican convention. On the contrary the announcement has awalkened a renewed energy on the part of the public spirited people of that en- terprising city. Committees are alroady at work soliciting subscriptions for the ontertainment of the crowd, and nows- papers, loaders in local affairs and poli- ticians are moving heaven and earth, figuratively speaking, to make a good showing in favor of their city. Omaha cannot afford longer to remain inactive. The proper time for action is now. Thoe city and its environs are abundantly able to entertain the con- vention. All that is necessary to start the ball rolling toward Omaha is judi- ous, aggressive and immediate acti ity. With Minneapolis in the field and an Francisco anxious to be honored, Chieago will find threo foes who may unite in a combination, offensive and de- Chicago of to secure the event Omaha oceupies the strategic point. The other cities _ will readily agree upon Omaha if their own chances are less encouraging with the hope and ex- pectation of entertaining the assembly politicians at a future date. The first great fight is to secure recognition for the region west of the Mississippi river. Having accomplished this purpose Omaha will naturally and logically fall heir to the prize on account of her cen- tral location, her railway facilities, her political importance in this particular campaign and her good name through- out the union. ACCORDING to the June report of the department of agriculture, the area of wheat has appavently increased about necessary votes this In the convention. 8.7 per cent over that which was har- | vested lnst year. and the general aver- age of winter wheat is reported to be 96.6. present price shall be maintained, or a higher value attained, depends upon the accuracy of foreign estimatos, and the weather contingencies until harvest. A moderately satisfactory price would eem to be assured, with-a possibility of more remunerative rates. The ovinion is expressed that a large demand for wheat is certain, much greater than for several years past and possibly the foreign shipment among the largest annual exportations ever realized. The report compels growers to go slow in extension of wheat area, lest by exces- sive production there should be brought about a recurrence of agricultural de- pression, but such advice would seem to bo quite unnecessary, if the statisticians who have calculated that by 1895 we shall bogin to import wheat, because of the exhaustibn of the wheat area, are not wildly at fault. At any rate our farmers ave not likely to go far astray in this matter, and too much wheat is not a danger to be seriously feared A CREATURE named Chamberlain, with far more gabble than brains, has the sublime impudence in a public meet- ing in Omnaha to attack the consistency of the friendship of the editor of THE Bek for the working people and the farmers. The sole motive of this indi- vidual is self-glorification, and he thinks to achieve notoriety by criticising cer- tain alloged utterances of the man who has been recognized for twenty years as the most persistont, consistent, fearless and officient champion of the rights of the people against cor- porate aggression in the wost. The narrow souled nincompoop from Stromsburg is welcome to the glory which abuse of a better man than him- solf may bring him. Long after he sinks into obscurity and his utterances have been forgotten, the sentiments of the editor of THE BEE published in on and out of season, always fear- 8, frank and effective, will be remem- bered by the people who were compelled to swelter in the stufly atmosphere of Green’s hall during Chamberlain’s dia- triba, Chamberlain is too utterly in- signifleant in person and position to war- rant further notice, I¥ the poundmaster’s crusade against curs is confined to the legitimate capture of untagged and worthle the public generally will regard him as a benefactor.

Now let the other business organizations take a hand. Omaha must be early in the field if she is tobea factor in the fight. A delegation ought to visit Cedar Rapids in this behalf at the time of the Towa state convention next week. A crowp in Omaha is always well be- haved. Although ten policemen were on duty at the grounds all day while the circus was in progress not a single arrest was made. Aside from the Sun- day fracas between civcus employe there were no misdemeanors of any character chargeable to the show. This speaks well for the good senso of the people and the efficiency of the police. THE continen congress of surgery and medicine, now in session in this city, deserves some courtesies at the hands of our business associations. Everything practicable should be done to make its members recall their visit to Omaha with pleasure.

Choyonne Leador: Tik Owina Brx is twanty years old. In its 1ssuo of Friday it reoroduced a fac simile of the first pago of its first issue. It looks liko something which had been rosurrected from a typographic chamber of horrors, but it sorves to very complotely illustrato the vast strides which the paper has made in the pastscoro of yaars. With the name of Tir Ber is indissolubly linked the name of Edward Rosewater, its proprietor and editor. A loss leathery man roally groat paper. than Rosewater would never have brought | Tur BEE to its present high pitch of success. It was started with littlo money, in rosponso t0 no great public demand, and in the course of its early caroor experienced all tho sharp pangs of chilling penury. Very fow mon have had more tough experiences than Roseswater. His hide must have become indurated by the many blows, metapho rical and physical, which ho has roceived. He was always a fighter. His disposition was to call a spade a spade and no feehng of false deli- cacy could ever induce him to call it an agri- cultural implement intended to upturn the soil. It cannot be denied that Rosewator has been a potentlal factor in tho develop- ment of Omaha and Nebraska. Tho growth of both have made him what he is. He is one of the strongest newspaper personalities in the west and if success bo the test of merit then he is one of the most meritorious. Omaha Daily Democrat: We congratulate Tue Ber on its twentioth anniversary with hearty good will. The history of Tue Bre is that of many other of the successful news- papers of the couritry, notably of tho New York Tribune and New York Herald. Tho beginnings were small, the struggles groat, but the indomitable persoverance was aliko in all cases, Mr. Rosewater is ono of tho re- markablo and forceful mon of the west, and probably has a more thorough knowl- edge of tho politics of Nebrasia than any othor man in the state. He seem- ingly never forgets anything and Is always thoroughly armed for every coutost. Prob- avly no party editor in the country has ever worn his party harness more loosely, and yot boen 30 potent in his party’s affairs. Ho has the courage, and has often exibited it, to oppose his party’s nominations and his party's policy, when they did not commend themselves to his judgment, and yet tho party 10 Nebraska cannot do without him. Efforts have often been made to keep him out of his party’s conventions, but at the last momont, when those efforts were thought to be successful, lo, there was Edward Rosewater, cool, keen, alort, as usual. Mr. Rosewater once told the writer that the Bzk was an accident, not an intention. It was not ex- pected to survive tha oceasion which gave it birth. Had it been, he said he would pro- bably have chosen another namo for it. It was meant only to sting for a timo, but cir- cumstances willed that the ‘“busincss end of that Bek should continue in business, and its puncturing apparatus was nover more offective than it is today. We heartily wish iv another twenty-yoar anniversary. | goneral that the act e OMAHA AND THE CONVENTION.
