Ono will in- variably contradict the other. THE ropublican party det victs its own thieves. No mal offico is ever winked at or o> rank and filo of the party. rasance in sed by the COLLUSION between purchnsing agents of public institutions and contractore for supplies is a common source of corrup- tion. The pe fluctuations of prices shown in Hastings’ asylum contracts slearly indicate that there is some un- lerstanding botwoen bidders and pur- chasing agent at that institution, A FACTION of Moqui Indians is fight- ing against the invonds of civilization. It is the last struggle of tho snake dancers against the progressive Moquis who are willing to come down from the rocky mesas to the valley farms. A de- tachment 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 force the foolish savages to nccept the benefits tondered. MANY an old citizen- of Omaha und Nobraska will read with regret that Hon. B. F. B. Kennedy, the father of the fish commission, ano of its original mem- hers and a most. enthusiastic davoteo to pisciculturo has boen daposed by Gov- ernor Thayer, No man in Nebraska has done more for tho 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 represonted to be. The tr| Few Tails, a friondly Indian, presents the occasion. If the case is made cloar against the accused it is to be hoped the 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 evidence shows them guilty. UraH democrats have very little voice in the national convention, but such in- fluence us one vote can exercise will probably bo against Grover Cleveland. The Utah straw is a trifle lonesome but. it shows nevertheless that there isa slight broezo blowing against the floshy lawyer who wants another four years in white house. The breeze promises to be a regular Washoo zephyr in Novada and the west and it will beno slight storm in many other scctions of the union. History vepeats itsolf and the ox-prosident will ba voted out of public life permauently again for an indiscreet utterance upon an important economic topie. It is quite too common an oceurence for the purchasing agent of a state in- stitution to quietly inform a friendly contractor exactly what supplios are on hand in abundance and what will be noeded for the next guarter. The con- tractor therefore puts in extromely low bids on the goods which will not bo re- quired and names remunerative prices for those whioh he koows will be in demand. In this way his avorage pricos are very low while in reality he is so well paid for ever; thing he furnishes undor his contrac as to enable him to divide with the pur- chasing agent. In cnso som other bid- dor than tho particular friend is suc- cossful in spite of those manipulations, the shrewd purchasing agent whose Ssrake-off” is not promising procesds 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 ro- turns, The purchasing agent needs watching at all public institutions, It he is honest the vigilance causes him no annoyance. If dishonest Lo may be detected. [ THE APPROPRIATIONS ISSUE ; One of the strongoest auswers mado to | the democratic criticigms upon the ap- 1 propriations of the last eongress was that of Secretary Foster before the Ohio | republican convention. The secrotary doos not defend ali of the approprin: tions, He frankly says thore were some | that should not have heen made, but all | of this character wore supported as much by domocrats a3 by republicans, | With respect to the others he maintains that they are justified by sound policy | and are defonsible upon grounds of the | good. | etury Fostor reminds the demoe- racy that this is n growing country, and that the approprintions must necos- vily increass from yenr to year. Ho pertinently obswrves that the roceipts of the postoltice department are no doubt the bost attainable test of the growth of ¥ and he presents figures to sa in theso receipts | 2| erenso of the appropriations hy the Fifty- first congross, demonstrating that if the lattor had hoen increased at the samo rite a8 the postal receipts thoy would be $100,000,000 more thao they The tary then proceeds to analyze the appropriations, and the the last congress - will little comfort in result, Particuiaviy will demo- s fail to get any comfort from his earnest dofense of the increaso in pen- sions, Secretary Foster doss not believe it to be the duty of tho government to put no limit upon its pension policy, but he holds that a too liberal provision h not heen made for the men who pre- served the union, and that the policy shonld be maintained until every old soldior having just claims shall come within the folds of tho pension laws of the country. The secrotury proceeds to argue that the incrensed appropriations for the postal service, for the navy. for the agricultural department, for river and harbor improvements, were urg- ently domanded for tho good of the country. Every farmer in the land, he remarks, has felt the revivify- ing influence of the proper application of the large appropriations for the agri- cultural department, and with equal cogency and foree he points out the good effacts, realized or certain of real- ization, of the liberal appropriations of the last congress. ‘The effort of the democratic *press to ppropriations of the fifty-first croate po- eritics find the very not believe that an honest expenditure for the enlargement and 1mprovement of mail fucilities, for increasing the navy 80 that it shall be capable of defending our seaports, for adding to the ability of the agricaltural department to beneftt the farmers of the land, and for improv- ing the harbors and waterways of the country so that they shall be of servico to our internal and foreign commerc is wrong. Nobody justifies extravagance in public expenditures, and on tho other hand no intolligent man approves that sort of economy which fuils to make adequate provision for the necessitics created by the country’s progress. REPUBLICAN CHANCES IN NEW YORK. 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 m- puign 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 ropublicaus of New York is unite them and line. They are casting about for a man of this kind to nomi- nate for governor, but it will evidently be difficult to find the right person. Perhaps Mr. Depew is the most avail ble man who has bhoen 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 timos greater than he would got from the office of governor, besides other advantages which he could not have as the sorvant of tho whole 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 presont Mr. Depew cal aspirations, but if he that they would ieader who hold them in a can has any poli has it is not clear be promoted by his becoming a caudi- date governor. It has boen sug- gested that the republicans should nom- inate u farmer who has been faithful to the party, but who has not bsen a placo: seoking politician and has not boen of- fensive us the member of any faction, and the suggestion is good. There inust be a number of thoroughly capable men of this class in New York upon whom the party would bo more likely Lo unite than upon any of the regular politicians, who would draw from the opposi- tion. It would doubtless be an excellent thing for the party to relegate bosses to the Year for u time and try some new men whose republicanism is irreproachable, and who huave not been ongaged in tho strifes that have divided and weakoned the party, It is not to be doubted that if this were dona republican chances would be greatly im- proved. for and the The democratic situntion is peculiar | and puzzling. This is due to the known designs of Govornor Hill, control of the dem: still to givings of the gov indicatod that ha un- whose atic machine ap- bsolute. The out- vnor's organ havo wtomplates serving a third term, and it is by no means im- this his intention. edents enough in tho his- which he could incenti vos are to socure the next democratic national convention he must retain command of the party in New York, and while he might do this by naming his successor he would be certain of it if he should succeed him- penrs be that is by justify doing so, and tho strong. In ordor nding i vory THE OMAHA DAILY BEE without giving off number of democrats to whom his methods of promoting his political greed must ba repugnant, and it is by no means to be inferred from his past suc- coss that he could be elected a third timo. There is reason to believe that Hill has lost strength by his course in holding on to theoffice of governor aftor he was elected to the United sennte, and as his plurality in 1888 was but 19,000 2 comparatively small defec tion would defeat him. Whether a can- didate of his dictation would be stronger than the governor himself is doubtful. Perhaps nothing better could happen for the republicans than for Hill to run again, but if he namss the candidate, and undoubtedly he will do this, that ought to be almost as favorable to re- publican success. It is to be presumed thereare thousands of democrats in New York who would bo 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- ter party winning depend upon its abil- ity to find n leader who can harmonize the factions, unite the party and hold it togethor, As we have already said, this may be somewhat difficult. THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. The peopls of Minneapolis repudiate the statement telegruphed- from that city to the effect that they have grace- fully retived from the race for the ional republican convention. On the contrary the announcement has awalkened a renewed energy on the part of the public spirited peoplo of that en- terprising city. Committees are alroady at work soliciting subscriptions for the ontertainment of the crowd, and nows- papers, leaders 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 inactiv The proper time for action is now. The 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- clous, aggressive and immediate activ- ity. With Minneapolis in the field and an - Franc ous to be honored, Chicago will find threo foes who may unite in a combination, offensive and de- fonsive, which will deprive Chicago of the necessary votes to secure the convention. In this event Omaha occupies 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 poiitical importance in this particular campnign and her good name through- out the union. ACCORDING to the June report of the department of agriculture, the area of wheat has apparently incroased about 8.7 per cent over that which was har- vested last year, and the general aver- age of winter wheat is reported to be 96.6. The report says that whether the present price shall be maintained, or a higher value attained, depends upon the accuracy of foreign estimates, and the weather contingencies until harvest. A moderately satisfactory price would scom to be assured, with-a possibility of more remunerative rates. The ovinion is expressod that a large demand for wheat is certain, much greater than for several years past and possibly the foroign shipment among the largest annual exportations ever realized. The roport compels growers to go slow in extonsion 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 b 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 feaved. A CcrREATURE named Chamberlain, with far more gabble than brains, has the sublime impudence in a public meet- ing in Omaha to nttack the consistency of the friendship of the editor of THE BEE for the working people and the farmers. The sole motive of this indi- vidual is self-glorification, aud he thinks to achieve notoriety by criticising cer- tain alleged utterances of the man who has been recognized for twenty years as the most persistent, consistent, fearless and officlent 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 ho sinks into obscurity and his utterances have been forgotten, the sentiments of the editor of THE BEE published in seuson and out of n, always fear- less, frank and eff ve, will be remem- bered by the people who were compelled to swelter in the stufly atmosphere of Green’s hall during Chamberlain’s di trib Chamberlain is too utterly in- significant in person and positfon to war- rant further not| I¥ the poundmaster’s crusade against curs is confined to the legitimate capture of untagged and worthloss canines the public generally will regard him as a benefactor, His motives, however, should not ba altogether mercenary und his methods should be at least humane, AF¥ istered with more doaths by poison admin- folonious intent in Denver will make visitors suspicious of every- thing offored them eithor to eat or drink which they do not see browed, distilled or otherwlse prepared in their presence.

A delegation ought to visit Cedar Rapids in this behalf at the time of the Towa state convention next we A CROWD in Omaha is always well be- haved. Although ten policemen were on duty at the grounds all day while the cireus was in progress not a single arrest was made. Aside from the Sun- day fracas between civcus employ there were no misdemeanors of any churacter chargeable to the show. This speaks well for the good senso of the people and the efficiency of the police.

From n small two-page sheot Tire Bre has boou onlarged from time to time until now it is an eight-page soven- column paper with supploments somotimos as largo as tho maln paper itself. Tir Bex is a paper much sought after by the people of both east and weat, and fills an important part in the journalism of the westorn country as woll as in Nebraska. Choyonne Leador: Tik Owana Brk is twanty yoars old. In its issuo of Friday it reroduced a fac simile of tho first page of its first issue. It looks liko something which had been rosurrected from o typographic chamber of horrors, but it sorves to very complotely illustrato the vast strides which the paper has made in the past scoro of years. With the name of T'iie Bek is indissolubly linked the name of Edward Rosewater, its | ropriotor and editor. A less leathery man than Rosewater would never have brought Tur BEE to its present high pitch of success, It was started with little money, in response t0 no great public domand, and in the course of its early careor experionced all tho sharp pangs of chilling penury. Vory fow men have had more tough experiences than Rosewater. His bide 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 aud no feelng of false deli- cacy could ever induce him to call it an agri- cultural implement intended to upturn the soil. Itcannot be denied that Rosewator has been a potentlal factor in the develop- ment of Omaha and Nebraska. The growth of both have made him what he is. He is ono of the strongest nowspaper personalities in the west and if success bo the then he is one of the most meritorious. Omaha Daily Democrat: We congratulate ‘Tur Ber on its twentioth anniversary with hearty good will. The history of Tue Br is that of many other of the successful nows- papers of the couritry, notably of tho New York Tribune and New York Herald. The beginnings wero small, the struggles great, but the indomitable perseverance was aliko in all cases, Mr. Rosewater is ono of tho re- markable and forceful men of the west, and probably has & more thorough knowl edge of the politics of Nebraska than any other man in the state. He seem- ingly never forgets anything and 1s always thoroughly armed for every contost. Prob- ably o party editor in the country has ever worn his party harness more loosely, and yot been 0 potent in his party’s affairs. He has the courage, and has often exhibited it, to oppose his party’s nominations and s party’s policy, when they did not commend themselves to his judgment, and yet the party 1o Nebraska cannot do without him. Efforts have often been mado to keep him out of his party's conventions, but &t the last moment, when those efforts were thought to bo successful, lo, there was Edward Rosewater, cool, keen, alort, as usual. Mr. Rosewater once told the writer that the Bek was an accident, not an intention. It was not ex- pected to survive the occasion 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 time, but cir cumstances willed that the ‘‘business end of that Ber should continuo in business, and its puncturing apparatus was nover more effective than it is today. We heartily wish iv another twenty-yoar anniversary. Tl e S OMAHA AND THE CONVENTION.

The capital city is not and will not ba backward in a work of this character. Lincoln Journal: If the national repub- lican convention is to be held anywhero in the west outsido of Chicago, there is no doubt, that the claims of Omaha as to ability to “accommodate” tho crowd are as good as those of any other city, not excluding Minne- apolis. That any of these western cities can “accommodute the crowd”’ is a bit of humor. Chicago itself does not do it. Sioux City Journal: Council Bluffs is doing overything possiblo to help out Omaha's aspirations after the next republican national convention. Indeed, Council Bluffs may bo said to bo taking the lead in the business. It | general that the act does not tako t of merit | is different with the Minuesota towns.
