TEsT appoars to have been less equivocal in his conversations with the ladies of the Hastings asylum than in the making up of his vouchers. At least, there was no misvnderstanding their meuning or misapplying their pur- pose. It may be added also that in neither case was the doctor’s conduct creditable. FOR half a contury we have been gradually reducing our great American desert until finally it was consigned al- most to oblivion in southern California, where it sunk below sea level. Nature has at last concluded to wipe it out en- tirely, and has sprung a leak from the Colorado river and will very soon con- vert the desert into a lake. Mayor CusniNG would have set a good precedent for future exceutives of the city if he had selected a republican for the board of public works. This vody should be nonpartisan to the extent at least of containing representatives of both the great political parties. Tho mayor’s appointment of a democrat to succeed Mayor Furay mukes the mem- bership of the board entirely demo- cratic, which is wrong on genoral principle iu'\unl"r one hundred and fifty ropub- 1 can citizons of Pennsylvania have pub- lished a protest against the lendership of Matthew Quay. Mr. Quay will prob- ably treat tho address with his aceus- tomed silenco and proceed us before to wreck republican prospects in an effort, to vindicate his popularity and political prestige. Tho gentleman ought, how- evor, by this time to bo convinced of his entire unuvailability as a leader of the Keystone ropublicans, PLATTSMOUTH covered her progre: sivo little solf with glory at the laying of the corner stone of her new $80,000 court house. Our prosperous neighbor below the confluence of the two rivers has for years suffered because of the uncertain tenure by which she rotained possession of the court house. The new building settles that old contro- versy beyoud all question and Platte- mouth will continue in the future asin the past to be the official und com- mercial centor of one of the most fertile and populous counties in Nebraska. Today the weather burcau will be transferred from the war to the agricul- tural department, as provided for by the last congress. It is not expected that this will necessarily improve the ser- vice, though it may do so, but the change was ordered by congress in re- spouse to s general sentiment that the business of making weather predictions was wholly out of place in connection with the war department. It is to be noted that for a short time past the burean has done better work than for- merly, and unquestionably Secretary Rusk can be depended on to get the best service possible from it. CT. ( Tne BEE feols callel upon to again soy to the officials who constitute the state board of transportation that the producers of Nebraska are anxiously | hoping and expecting that they will speedily take action for reducing freight rates, The time is short until the move- | ment of the crops will and a | schedule of rates cannot be formulated | in a day. Past_experience has shown | that it is n good deal pf a task, or at any | rate is made so, and if the commission | it at it IT 1S TIME TO begin, were to enter once might be several weeks before an ac- ceptable schedule could be framed. A board whose membars were unanimously or of reducing ratos so as to give to the producers, while not des priving the railroads of a fair profit, could undoubtedly arrive atan agre went in a fow daye, for there is ample data immediately available basis for a just adjustment of rates, but, un- fortunntely, there to believe that thero are members of the Nebraska board of transportation who are not at all anxious about helping the farmers of th state in this way, and who would put every possible obstacle in the way of the framing and adoption of a schedule which would ma- terinlly lessen the exactions of the rail- roads and in equal measure increase the vrofits of the producers. There is strong ground for believing that some of the officials who constitute the board are de- termined that there shall not be any ac- tion in this matter, nnd it is beginning to he feared that these are a majority of the board. If the transportation rates in Nebraska are alloived to remain as at present, in- stond of being reduced to a fair propor- tion of the Towa rates, it will mean aloss to the producers of this state of several million dollars during the next year. It will mean a deliberate gift to the cor- porations of a large sum which should go into the pockets of the farmers, to be by them disbursed for the general good. It will mean that while the railroads are permittod to increase their gains by unjust charges the producers will be rvendered less able to meet their obliga- tions by the amount of the exaction. It will mean a curtailment of the prosperity of every interest in Nebraska oxcept that of the corporations, resulting noe- essarily in damage to the genor: fare and in retarding the progress of the state, for one effect of excessive freight rates on produce is to check agricultural development. People will not buy farms in Nebraska with the knowledge that an unreasonable share of the returns of their industry must be paid to the railroads. It ought to be sufficient to point out the practical injury certain to result from a failure to reduce transportation rates in order to induce the board hav. ing tho authority to make a reduction to take action. But it may be well to consider, also, the political consequences almost equally sure to ensuo from a neglect of the party in power to re- deem its pledgo to the people in this matter. It ought to be obvious to every intelligent republican that the party cannot regain and retain supremacy in this state unless it shall make good its promise, repeuted y fler year, to give the producers jus and reasonable transportation rates, This is the plain ‘*‘path to salvation,” and unless the party walk therein it must be prepared for o repetition of the experience of last year, so far at least as state aflairs are concerned. ow is the opportunity to reinstate the party in popular confidence, and the officials who constituto the board of transportation have it in their power to do this while at the same time conforring a vast ma- tevial benefit on the stat. upon a8 is reason wel- RECIPROCITY ADVANCING. Tt is unnounced that a reciprocity ar- rangement has been made with Santa Domingo which will go into effect within a few months. It is understood that an arrangement with Venezuela is cortain to bo concluded, the delay in effecting it being possibly due to the pending con- troversy between that country and Eng- land, in the settlement of which the United States may ultimately be called upon to take part. There is favorable ntelligence, also regarding the outlook for re y with Mexico, and a re- cont dispatch from Madrid settled all question respecting the success of the negotiations for a commor- cial treaty with Spain regarding Cuba, the conveution having been signed and the stipulated time for it to take effect being September 1. It would thus ap- poar that it belongs to the class of agr ments which do not require to be rati- fied by the senate, simply needing the oxecutive proclamation to make it op- erative. This is gratifying progress for a period of little more than half a year sinco .the nuthority was given by congress to ne- gotiate reciproeity ngroements, and the aggregato advantages which are reason- ably expected to, ncerue to the United States will be great. Before the prosent your is ended there ought to bo reali a material increase in our ex port trade with Brazil and Cuba, and if our manufacturers and werchants take such advantage of the opportunity as is to be expected from their energy and onterprise, there will be. There nothing more heard of opposition in Brazil to the treaty, and though it is quite possible t oxists it probable not of a character to exert any influence. If we can meet the require- ments of tho Brazilian market doubt- loss thero will be no dificulty in enlarg- ing our commerce with that country. As to Cuba there is every reason to bo- lieve that her people will give the preference to the United States for everything they need which this coun- try cun supply them. Thoy were ¢ tremely aoxious thata treaty of reci- procity should be negotiated and they will be likely to offor every inducement for its permanence. It has been remarked that even if no further progress be made the results of the state department’s diplomatic work are sufciently to justify the action of congress in adopting the reci- procity clause of the tariff law, But it is safe to predict that further pro- gress will be made. The unfortu- nate illness of Secretury Blaine bas doubtless retarded provented | other negotiations, it proc is s0me is large or and is | | THE OMAHA DAILY BEEy WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 1891. to be expected that as soon as he roturns 10 his post of duty, which it is promised may be at an early day, the work of | pushing reciprocity will be There are with which made or nego- forward ngain actively resumed. other countries than those ngreements have been tiations set on foot thgt will desire closer trade relations with the United States, Meanwhile it is in order to remark that the policy thus far has been so0 success- ful as to have aroused the anxiety of several Buropean nations and to have given the republican party a claim to the support of the country which the opposition cannot deny and will find it very difficult to overcome or THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. The time hus arrived for active work if Omaha hopes to secure the next re- publiean national convention. The sit- untion is very encouraging if wo shall awake to the importance of taking advantage of our opportunities, Chi- cago will not get the convention merely because Chleago is the largest city in the interior. She must make an ag- gressive fight or lose it. Omaha, Min- neapolis and San Francisco are all in the field. Minneapolis is especially active, The report sent out in the interest of Chicago that she would not make any effort has stimulated her eitizens to in- tonse activity and enthusinsm. H ommittees are appointed and at wor arranging plans for presenting her claims to the national committee, secur- ing funds for the proper entertainment of the people who attend and canvass- ing for facts to show her ubility to accommodate them. The first thing to be done after the Towa convention has declared in our favor is to create an execative commit- tee of perhaps seven members, threo of whom should be residents of Council Bluffs, To these gentlemen should bo confided all the incidental preliminary preparations. They ought to be empow- ered to appoint committoos of business men to investizate and report upon the hotel nd other accommodations; to solicit funds for carrying forward the enterprise; Lo correspond with influon- tinl republicans throughout the union; to attend republican state conventions in behalf of Omaha, and finally to press our claims at the meeting of the national committee. To accomplish anything funds will be necessary. In Minneapolis subscrip- tions are taken to be paid upon condi- tion. Ten per cent is set aside as a skirmish fund, one-half of this amount being paid on demand and the other half on or about the time cf the meeting of the national committee. The re- mainder is payable only in case the convention is secured. In this way no oppressive tax is laid upon the business men and a suffi- cient fund is provided for the immediate wants of the promoters of the entorprise. ‘The earnestness with which Minneapolis is striving should stimulate this city. The ze is worth striving for. We n a great deal if we lose the conven- tion. If we ave fortunate enough to secure it next year there can be no esti mate placed upon its value to Omuha If weo fail this timo we shall bo alinost certain o succeed in 1596, of th is THE immense engin American waterworks company creditable monument to the enterprise of this cor- poration. It is also a mark of tho confi- dence the capitalists composing the company have in Omaha’s future. President Underwood entertains a just fiable pride in the immense engino and the entire plant. The pumping capacity of this monster is 18,000,000 gallons of water every twenty-four hours. Tho Holly engine with which it standsat tho great pump house pumps 14,000,000 gal- fons a day. The two engines therefore aro able to supply to this city 52,000,000 gallons during eacn revolution of the glote, or twico as much as is at present requirefi. Tt will pay citizens of Omaha to drive out to the Florence plant and sce the enormous engine and the other improvements made at the pretty northern suburb, a TieRE: bo very litile question about the intent of the school law with regard to the election of u secretary of the board of education in this city, He is to be elected annually, The teachers and janitorsare elected annually. The appropriations ave made annuaily. To oleet the teachers in January would be unwise, because it would demoralizo the schools in the midst of tho sehool year, The seerctary is the executive officer of the board. To make u chango in the of- fico in the midst of tho school year would be harmful. It would tend to eonfusion at a time when the school work should proceed hurmoniously and - without dis- turbanco of any character. The timo to elect the secretary is clearly at the be- ginning of the fiscal and not the calendar year. can CORONER, Hurrigan’s business meth- ods are peculinr.
