The fable of the foolish canine who dropped his meat into the stream toaches a homely but useful truth. REPRESENTATIVEE BRYAN'S general health has been very good but it will be sale to quarantine against him on ac- count of his foot and mouth disease. As THERE is to be no extra session the State Board of Transportation has one more opportunity for redeeming itself and the promises of the republican party. — A FUND of $1,000,000 to invest in the stock of promising factories looking this way for a location judiciously admin- istered would be worth $100,000,000 to Omaha, THIRT new proposals to sell park lands have been recei in answer to the ndvertisoment of the park commis- sioners and prices range considerably below those named for the formerly ac- cepted tracts. CANADA cannot hope for a reciprocity treaty with America which shall not give America advantages in Canadian markets over Great Britain. So said Secrotary Blaine to the Canadian com- missioners and so say we all. TWENTY members of the Iowa legis- lature ave in Chicago ona junketing trip. It may be safely stated thut the newspuper correspondent whom Senator Finn punished a short time ago was not invited to accompany the party. THERE is some speculation among democrats as well as republicans as to how the democratic- party will succeed in constructing o platform of principles consistent with Governor Boyd’s ad- dress relative to an extra session, THE same oid chestnut about the pro- posed union depot near the old nail works has been revamped by the Omaha F. F. (fake factory). Whether it is for home consumption or intended to draw suckers from abroad has not transpired. THE BEE hopes that tze time is not _distant when there will be substantial and permanent viaducts over every rail- road crossing. But Rome was not built in a day and any attempt to overload the railroad by ordering viaducts promiscu- ously in one season can only result in de- feating all the projects. EIGHTEEN new cotton mills, repre- senting 1,850,000 spindles, are in course of erection in TLancashire, England. This ought to pe convincing proof to Anmericans that there is still room for a good many cotton mills on this side the Atlantic, where the raw material and the consumer of the manufactured arti- cle can shake hands, FIFTEEN persons connected with the Louisiana Lottery company indicted by the grand jury have been placed under bonds of $200 each to appear at the next term of court. From the amount of bail required it is clear oither that the ac- cused gentlemen are not in much danger of conviction or it is expected they may want to default upon their bail bonds. Er—— THE young khedive of Egypt is not mature enough in yours to tuke up his duties as ruler of that country. He is old enough, however, to understand in- ternational comity, and he proves it by gracefully announcing to William Wal- ter Phelps that the United States min- ister to Germany needs no diplomatic Introduction to the successor of the Pharnohs. —ee DoN'T ask too many things at one time, If we insist on building the Six- teenth and Fifteenth street viaducts this soason there are ten chances to one that we wiil have no viaduct built either at Bixteonth or Fifteenth. Niue times out of ten the coupling of two propositions defeats both, and this is liable to happen with the viaduct ordinances if the at- " tempt is made to force both ordinances through at the sume time. — A FEW days ago John M. Thurston positively refused to allow his name to g0 before the national convertion asa pandidate for vice president. And now it is anuvounced from the city of Wash- ington by a special telegram that J, S. Clarkson has never authorized anybody to use his name as a presidential candi- date. What is to become of our party if both Thurston and Clarkson refuse to run? The nextthing we hear will be an announcement that the Hon. Pat O, Hawes, who is now in Washington, positively declines to allow the use of bis name for a positiou in the cabinet. HE LOST AN OPPORTUNITY. The official declaration on the part o Governor Boyd that he had decided not to call the legislature in extra session scores another decided triumph for the railrond magnates. Just before ho was reinstated in his office by the decision of the supreme court Governor Boyd mude no secret of his intention to call an extra session of the legislature, if for no other purpose than to formulate a maxi- mum rate bill on staple commodities, including grain, tive stock, coal, lumber and salt. No sooner had Governor Boyd been reinstated than he was cajoled, im- portuned and bullaozed by railroad emissaries to givo up the idea of calling an extra scssion. The governor heid out very bravely for nearly n month, but ho finally weakened and gave in. The reasons given for changing his mind have been given to the public frankly and without reserve. They are plausible and would under ordinary cir- cumstances have been satisfactory to the people. The truth is, however, that the pressure brought to bear upon the governor has omanated chiefly if not wholly from railroad headquarters. The railrond managers were seriously alarmed if not absolutely frightened at the prospect that the legislature would enact a reasonable maximum rate law framed in conformity with the views of the governor. Had they really belioved what they have made Governor Boyd believe, namely, that the legislature would break up without agreeing upon any bill, they would not have taken so much trouble to dissuade him from oalling the session. The railroad man- agers would have cared very little about the cost of a session that would grind out emptyings, Their share of that expense would have been a mere baga- telle in view of the millions which they take out of Nebraska every yenr in excess of what they should charge. The truth is the legislature would not have dared to adjourn without making a moderate reduction 1n freight rates. Most of the men who compose the legis- lature, independents, democrats and republicans, either hope to go back next winter or want to go b They have all been home since the lust session and know the temper of the people. The blustering letters which the most radical independents have sent to the governor are no index of what they would have done had they been put to tho test of accepting moderate railroad legislation or returring to their consti- tuents empty handed. The bugbea about scaring away foreign capital for fear of extremo legislation relative to loans and credits was too gauzy to bo worthy of attention. The legislature couid not touch a singlo issue not in- cluded in the governor’s call and eastern capitalists know this as well as we do. Governor Boyd has lost an oppor- tunity to render the state a service which is not likely to present itself again. AN OBVIOUS SCHEME. Tho Springfield (Mass.) Republican. referring to the articie in the Zowa State Register of March 1 urging that the republican delegation from Iowa to the national convention be instructed to vote for Mr. Blaine, says: *If there is no well-laid scheme behind this rep- resentative republican newspaper’s utterances, then the case becomes tho very saddest of the many sad ones re- corded in the history of Blaineophobia in this country.” The Republican’s implication that thore may be a well-laid scheme in the efforts of J. S. Clarkson to send a dele- gation from Towa to Minneapolis in- structed for Blaine is fully warranted. ‘The design is 1o make a trado in the in- terest of Clarkson. That individual is not at all modest in his political aspira- tions. His zeal for Mr. Blaine was due largely to the hope that he might secure the second place on the ticket. He will be very well satisfied now to make a bargain for a cabinet position, and 1f he can get the Towa republican delegation instructed for Blaine it is not to be doubted that he will endeavor to make such a bargain. Clarkson has no ex- pectation that Blaine will be nominated. Thero is not a republican leader whose opinion is of any weight who doos no rogard as final the refusal of the secre- tary of state to bo considered a pros dential candidate. There is not a re- putablo republican having faith in the candor and honesty of Mr. Blauine who does not hold that view of his declin- ation, The assumption that Low. *| the power to make him the next pres dent of the Unit:a States” is manifestly absurd. But if the Iowa delegation should be instructed for Blaine it would be in a position to be manipulated in the interest of some other candidate, and the influence of Clarkson would be exerted in behalf of the candidate from whom he had reason to expect the most liberal consideration. The scheme behind the utterances of the Iegister is sutficiently obvious. It is 80 plain that very fow of the republicans of Towa are likely to be deceived by it. There ave not many of them who have any desire to promote the political aspi- rations of J. S. Clarkson, His course as a self-appointed leader of the republi- cans of Iowa has not been to the ad- vantage of the party in that stavo. His conduct on a broader stage of politi- cal action has not helped the republican party in the nation, He lacks the ca- vaecity for wise and safe leadership, The tendency of what he is now endeavoring to do in [owa is against party harmony, 80 essential to republican suceess in that state this year, and it is the imperative duty of the republicans of that state to defeat his transparent scheme. — THE POLE NUISANC ‘Whether this city orders the wires of the telephone, telegraph or electric lighting companies underground or not, another pole for wires should not be planted in this city withouta permit from the Board of Public Works and under supervision of a competent in- spector, aeotailed to see to it that the poles shall be planted without seriously damaging sidewalks and interfering with the poles alveady existing. It is bad enough to have our streels ob- structed by a forest of poles in the heart of the eity, but it is an outrage on prop- erty owners who have gone to the ex- pense of costly permanent sidewalks, and who have expended large sums for sub-cellars in front of their store houses, to submit to having them torn up by laborers who are not compatent to re- pair the damage. The fact is that the city ought to compel the corporations who own pole lines in this city to deposit money enough with the eity treasurer to pay for all damages l1able 1o oceur before a permit 1s granted to tear up the walks. Another very desirable reform would be to require all poles to bo of uniform hoight and pormit only one set on one side of any street, conditioned that all competing companies shall have joint use of such poles on payment of rea- sonable charge to the company owning the line. This would do away with the promiscuous pole nuisance in our streets. —_— TURN-PIKE HOLMAN. Congressman Hatch hit Holman a wicked blow batween the eyes on Satur- dny. Holman has baen playing his favorite rolo of obstructionist all through tl'e session and has arrogated to himsslf privileges which must cor- tainly have been exasporating to other democratic leaders, In the Saturday melee he attempted to kill an appro- priation of $150,000 for tho bure au of animal industry and $10,000 for bsot sugar experiments by elaiming that the proposed expenditures ware not properly thattors bolonging to the committee on agriculture, but to the co>mmittes on appropriations. He was first knocked out by the spoaker, who overruled his potnt of order; and whon he rose again Uncle Bill Hateh struck him with a shaft of ridicule which wilted him com- pletely. Holman has attempted to run the government all by himsolf this winter. Instead of confining himsalf to the business of his own committes on ap- propriations he has insisted upon using his cheese knife on every sort of oxpsn diture without regard for the courtesy which precedent and politeness accords to othor committees. The Indian ap- propriation bill as passed by the house is 8 mosaic of contradictions and a re- markable conglomeration of crude ideas usa rosullof the extreme activity of the Indiaman’s proboscis ina vicinity where he was not at ull at home. The agricultural measure presented by Mr. Hatch had boen very carefully consid- ered and when Holman proposed to catechise the Missourian upon the measuro that able and experienced parlinmentavian frankly and with the exprossed sympathy of his outraged associates told him to mind his own business, The colloquy did nov end there, how- ever, for Holman never knows when he is in danger until the house falls on him and he insisted upon intermeddling, whereupon Mr. Hatch, although a fel- low democrat, exposed him in a way which brought down the house and wili cripple the old man’s efforts at parsi- mony for the remainder of the session. Mr. Hatch entered congress 1n the Forty-sixth session and he announced that at that early period Mr. Holman was fighting all appropriations except those for his own constituency and had been doing so ever since. The argument was clinched amidst ripples of laughter at the complete discowfiture of Holman when Mr. Hateh, raising his voice in his peculiar way, stated that one of the first speeches he had heard from the lips of Mr. Holman was in favor of a bill to build a turn-pike road in the state of Indiana. Mr. Holman subsided and the bill was passed. The democrats were in as high gloe over the result as the republicaus. Itis to be hoped the gentleman from Indiana has been effectually squelched, for next to Buck Kilgore of Texas, he had become the most intolerable nui- sance on the floor of the house of repre- sentatives. In future debates the com- pouad word *‘turn-pike” will be used to immense advantage whenever Holman becomes obstreperous. The chances are that he will become known us Turn-Pike Holman. A GREAT STRIKE THREATENED. If the coal miners of Bogland carry out their announczd intention, there will be inauguratsd this week one of the greatest strikes in the history of that country. The latest advices inti- mate that the threatened conflict may be averted. It is stated that of the 600,000 miners in Great Brituin not more than one-third of them have even discussed the question of a strike, and in view of the fact that coal stocks are low and prices high it is thought proba- ble that a satisfactory arrangament may be made between the opsrators and the miners by which hostilities will be avoided. Meanwhile the price of coal has gone up to extraordinury figures and there is much suffering in conse- quence among the poocr. The coal miners of the United*King- dom constitute a powerful organization, The National union of miners was or- ganized eleven years ago, and two veurs later it had become strong enough to carry a 15 por cent advance through the Kingdom. Since that time the miners have reckoned with the opoarators on equal terms, Within the last four years the men have obtained two advances, amounting to 30 per cent. Under a plan adopted three years ngo, wages and all other differences between employers and miners have been settled by an organ- ized system of local, district and national committees, Fully 60 per cent of all the miners belong to the National ution, which keeps a large fund to be used in case of strikes and also disburses u considerable amount annually in relief. It will thus be seen that this powerful organization has a long period of suc- cess behind it to give encouragement and confidence to its members, but iv is suggested that they face odds never mot before. Great strikes have failed in the past year in Germany and France, where wages are far lower than in Eng- land. The depression that extends over English trade is unfavorable to any ud- vance in the wages for mining coal, and if the men insist upon their demand a prolonged conflict will be inevitable. According to a cable dispatch, if the export trade is cut off one-third of the miners in the country might remain on » strike six months without restricting the output consumed at home. If that is the fact it would seem that under ex- isting conditions the miners of the United Kingdom will make a very seri- ous mistaie if they precipitate a con- flict. The effect of doing this must DAY, MARCH 7, 1892 necessarily bo to incrense the general business deptdésion, while tho suffering of the poor in, consaquence of the ad- vanced price of conl will be very great, and the end'f more likely than not to be n repotition of the exporience of the striking miners of Gorm and France. 17 18 not remarkable that all Burope isin a state of-unrest. There is enough misery in 6¥dty monarchy of the old world to touch ;the hearts of humanity gonorally, Starvation and oppression cannot long métch along hand in hand. Starvation means desperation, and des- peration is the twin brother of anarchy Germany {s turbulent and even the im- perial castle could not shut out the ery of the workless for bread. In Vienna 80,000 men to whom a few lonves were givon by the government fought for crumbs like hungry dogs striving for a bone. In Hungary more than 20,000 peasants have been subsisting on roots and the bark of trees. In Russia 20,000,- 000 ave starving and the Russian sol- diers have manfully sacrificed part of their rations to relieve the famino stricken. In Ttaly thero is likewise great want. Yot in all these countries stund- ing nrmies ars maintained to consume the substance of the nation and extrava- gant courts are not wanting in luxuries, The conditions are too hard for the people to endure, and it will not be sur- prising to see o tremendous, far-reach- ing revolt. War can havdly be avoided either at home or with some foreign country in Germany, Austrin, Russia and Italy. Moanwhile America pros- pers, and blessed is the man whose allegianco is sworn to the stars and stripes. SECRETARY NOBLE gives to the public a severe lotter written to Commissioner of Pensions Raum concerning some mat- ters of admimistration. This suggests the remark that a practice has grown up in the departments at Washington which is wholly at variance with official courte wnd that is the pubiication of letters from cabinet officers and heuads of bureaus containing severe reflections upon subordinates. The Rium instance is not exceptional, but such letters are as a rule published not so much to improve the servico'to which they apply as to cuteh the attention of tho public and win a little applause or to shilt an em- barvassing responsibiiity. They avo often couched in language which would not be tolerated outside of official circles and is sometimes insulting in the ex- treme. When a superior officer finds it necossary to discipline a subordinate he should be courteous enough to address his strictures to him verbully or by post and not through the newspapers. THE authorities of Pennsylvania will proceed against the combine of anthra- cite roads in order to test in the courts whether it is in"violation of the consti- tution of that state. Governor Pattison very promptly tbok hold of the matter when the proper complaint was pre- sented to him, and although the com- plainants failedto perform their duty when the hearing was held the attorney general, presumably by direction’of the governor, will bring judicial proceed- ings to ascertain the status of the com- bine under the law. The whole un- try will be interested in the result, since it is the evident purpose of the monopoly to advance the p-ice of anthracite coal, instead of carrying out the promise that the public should share in the econo- mies which the combination would make practicable. THE most creditable thing David Ben- nett Hill has done in a very long time was his refusal to acceptsalary from the beginning of his term as United States senator, March 4, 1891, Mr. Hill was sworn in ag senator January 7, 1892, but at the beginning of the current month he had a right to claim a full year’s sal- ary. On applying to the clerk of the senate for money he was tendered that amount, with mileage, but declined to receive it and insisted upon signing vouchers only for the time since he was sworn in, so that over $4,000 which he might have had will be covered back into the treasu; As a financial trans- action Mr. Hill was better olf by remain- ing to the end of his term as governor of Now York, the pay of that position peing larger than the compensation of a senator, but none the less his action was %oth creditable and judicious, Tue democrats of Rhode Island, who held their convention a few days ago, left no doubt as to their position regard- ing the currency. “Every dollar of American money,” says the platform, *‘whether of gold, silver or paper, ought to bo of equal value the worid over.” This is sound, but it is not money of this kind that the country would have if the democratic advocates of the free and unlimited coinage of silver— and they are unquestionably a majority of the party—could have their way. The danger that confronts the couatry now isin the possible suc- cuss of that lttr'gt)"r element of the democ- racy, which izgmpt in agreemont with the position of#the Rhode Island demo- cratic platform, . —— SouTH OMARA i8 wise in making pro- vision for a pubffe hospitaland the pro- posttion for bonds with which to securve such an iustiffition should be voted unanimously 7 IE) Lookingrout for Glie-Demacrat.

Chill has of- fered to make reparation, but tho domands ought to b kept within reasonable limts, New York Advertiser: The sailors of the United States stoamship Baltimore have formally filed their cinims against the Chilian governineut for damages. Tne damages asked range from £30,000 each for falso im- prisonment to 150,000 for ‘‘very grave in- jusies”—in all amounting o ov 2,000,000.

Thirty-four | 'of them have filed in the State department at Washington claims for personal injuries. These claims foot up the modest total of something over £2,000.000. Several of the claimants put their damages at the modost figure of 150,000 each, and others demand a round $100,000. Some will be content with ¥75,000 and’ some with even $50,000.

Evon persons of means suf ficlently amplo for the indulgence of such a journey may not have tho leisure, or, when they possess both means and leisure, lack the energy to face the oxertion involved.

Helen Mathers has given us a delightful book descriptiveof the beuuties of the Sand- wich Islands, under the title of “One Sum- mer in Hawaii.” Always a craceful and in- teresting writor, the unalloyed pleasure sho seems to have enjoyed while on this trip ap- pears to have inspired ber with a more than ordinary keenness of obscrvation and a facility in putting down i black and white the sentiments evoked by her brief residence in_ what bas been pooucally termed tne “Paradise of the Pacific.” What a charming piece of word-painting is the following: *“The morning dawned, the heaving deep no louger rocked me in its em- brace. I heard the innumerablo voices of the land, ana breathed the balm of a thou- sand flowers. I still reeled with the after sensations of the sea, but was content to know that I was stranded upon a rock. Stepping unon the veranda ia the cool hush of the morning, I appreciated for the first time the luxuriant repose of tho tropics. **I'iic bloom of unwonted tlowers, the bur- nished sheen of the leaves, the lancelike foliage of the palms,all bespoke a new world, “Bofore mo stood a group of dusky cil- dren—with wonder in their liquid eyes— timid, fawnlike and flower-decked. They won me at once. I said: If these are heathen, let them remain beathen, ‘for of such is the kingdom of heaven.’” But the book is full of such beautiful lan- cuage, and at the same time contains so much valuable information about Hawaii and the Hawatlins as to make it both entertaining ana instructive. Typographically it is all but perfection and its coverisa verituble worlk of art.
