ARCHITECT BERLINGHOFE'S own ad missions in the charges made by Con- trastor Mongedoht in connection with the Kellom school building are enough to condemn him in the eyes of honest men. Now that Congressman Springer’s health is seriously impaired and ne must take two months’ rest who will care for Billy Bryan and guide him aright in his duties as *“*a representative of the United States?” M. ELau R'S suggestion for the appointment of a truant officer is not a bad one. There should be some effort made to enforce attendance of children at either public or private schools. It would be a mistake, however, to arraign truants in the polico court. At THE city of Wayne fifty carloads of household goods have been unloaded and fifty families have tiken up their residence in the vicinity within a weok. Wayne is uot excaptional either, but merely an instance of the way Nebraska is growing this prom WIiLLIAM, emperor of Prussia: *I will pulverize Russin.” Alexander, czar of Russia, to the German minister: **Tell your emperor that when he wants to begin pulverizing I will throw half a million men across the frontier with the greatest of pleasure.” Another passage- at-arms like this may result in some- thing more than words, THE significant fact in connection with the Iowa municipal elections, so far as reported, is the growing senti- ment against prohibition which they show. In most cases where this policy was a local issue or played any part in an election the result was adverse to it. A better judgment can renlly be formod of the trend of popular sontiment from this municipal expression than from a general vote, and this being so it is clearly evident that prohibition is stead- ily losing ground in Towa. This show- ing ought to have some influence with those republicans in the legislature who are not so blinded by prejudice that they are incapable of seeing any light. —_— Tne democrats of Pennsylvania will be unjust to Governor Pattison if they fail to send a delegation to Chicago fav- orable to him as a presidential candi- date. Ho has not done anything, so far as appears, to advance his candi- dacy, and the explanation is to be found in the fuct that he is not an intriguing politician, like Hill and Gorman. But he has a very positive claim to the good will of tho democrats of the Keystone state in the fact that during two terms as governor he has given the peoplo clean and creditable administrations and has shown himself worthy as a pub- lic man of the confidence of the people. The corporations, however, have no use for Governor Puttison, and as these have gieat influence nnd powerin Penn- sylvanin there is danger that he will not bhe given the meritod compliment of the support of the democratic delega- tion from that state, — HON. WiLLiaM R. MORRISON is perhapsrightin tho opinion that Senator Palmer of Illinois is too old to be a can- didate for president, but the senior member of the Intorstate Commerce Cominission will hardly run the veteran out of the race for this réason. The fact is that General Palmer has, within the last few years, done more for the democratic party of his state than any other five men in it, and his old age is of a very vigorous kind, which gives promise of a number of yeurs of activity. As to Mr. Morrison, his name has hardly been considerva in connection with the presidency outside of a little coterie of personal friends whose influence prob- ably does not extend beyond his old eon- gressional district, There is hardly a possibility that Itlinois will furnish the democratio candidate for president, and in any event there are several mon in thut state who would be preferred to Mr. Morrison. A FRE LVER VICTOF The adoption of the vesolution of the | house committee on rules, setting apart three days for the consideration of the | | Bland silver bill, was a decisive victory for the democratic advoeates of tho free | and unlimited coinage of silver. Tho majority in favor of the resolution was overwhelming, and oqually significant were the majoritios that svstained tho rulings of tho speaker on parliamontary questions raised against the considera tion of the resolution before the read of the journal. A rule of the present house providos that it shall always be in order to call up for consideration a report of the committee on rules, giving to that committee the most arbitrary power, The ruling of the speaker was that a report from that committes could be considered before the reading of the journal of the proceding day’s proceed- ings, and this was sustained by a 1 majority and a precodent theroby fully established which clothed a committeo of the house with a power never beforo possossed by any one committee of that bod The anti-free silver democrats fought bard, but they were vanquished at every point., They delivered some blows, however, which tho supporters of free silver may feel hereaftor, The speech of Mr. Williams of Massa- chusetts, representing the sentiment of the castern democracy regarding silver, was an unequivocal rebuke of the domi- nant element on the democratic side of the house. “The organization of this house,’ ha siid, *“had bsen directed to- ward forcing this question upon the eountry,” and he declared that the peo- ple of the north were not yot ready to go into national baukruptey and pay 70 cents on the dollar. The tone and spirit of the speech of Mr. Williams in- dicate tho sentiment of all eastorn dem- ocrats on this question, but the result attests that the democracy of the south and wost are indifferent to the views of the men of the east. Of the eighty-four votes cast against the resolution of the committee on vules only six of the dem- ocrats can properly be clussod as south- orn members, and these are from the border states. The result shows that the free coinage men are well organized and determined and warrants the expectations that they will be able to pass the Bland silver bill when it comes up for consideration and action on March There is of course a possibility that they may not be ubie to accomplish this. A few of the democrats who voted for considera- tion of the measure may not support it when it is put on its passage, and most of tho republicans who voted for con- sideration will certainly vote against the bill whon action is taken on it or not vote at all. But the chances are largely in favor of the passage of the bill. It isthought probable that tho re- publicans opposed tp free coinage, who comprise 85 per cent of their member- ship in the house, will decide to leave the whole responsibility for this legisla- tion upon the democrats,but even should they unite with the anti-free coinage democrats it is doubtful whether they could defeat the proposed legislation. After the eurnest efforts that have been made by Mr. Carlisle, Mr. Mills, and other democratic leaders to effect a post- ponement of this issue, the action of tho house on Monday indicates that the free silver mon are irrevocably joined to their idol. RESTRICTION ENOUGH. The Philadelphia Recorder says, ve- garding immigration and the immi- gration laws: “Taking the immigration as a whole, especially from its main sources of Great Britain aund Irveland, Germany and Scandinavia, it is as in- telligent, as thrifty, and as fit for Ameri- can citizenship now as at any former veriod. All things considered, the laws relating to immigration have gone quite far enough in the way of restraint. What remains is to enforce existing legislation to prohibit the landing of paupers and criminals, butas to the general policy of immigration this country 18 not yet ready to be fenced in.” This is the view that now gen- erally obtains among those who have given the most intelligent investigation of this question and are able to consider it without prejudice. The importance of the subject every- body admits, The demand that nobody be permitted to come into this country who is not qualified to become a good and useful citizen is acquiesced in by all the people. But in the process of sifting there is no valid reason why we should go beyond the existing re- strictions, if these are rigidly adhered to. No man in the country, perhaps, has made a more thorough investigation and intelligentstudy of this subject than Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, chairman of the senate committee on immigration, and he has come to the conclusion that there is no present nec- essity for considering new exclusions of immigrants. He says the existing laws are wisely framed 80 far as thoy go, and their present strict enforcement, which should be made even more rigid, will do much to quiet alarm and avert danger. He suggests new logislution simply to more effectually keep out per- sons now proscribed, ‘“‘There ought to be no politicul differences,” he obscrves, “to prevent a united demand for an honest, faithful, and effective enfor ment of our present immigration and naturalization laws, and for all helpful additions thereto which can be devised.” Some additions which he believes would be helpful Senator ' Chandler has suggested, most of which | | | are to be commended, The question is one for purely prac- tical consideration, und ought to have nothing to do with partisan politics. As our Philadelphia contemporary from which we have quoted above judiciously remarks, this counwry is not yet ready tobe fenced in. There is hardly any partof it where industries and thrifty people from the old world cannot find opportunity to better their condition, and in doing that add to the vroducing and consuming power of the country. We are very far from having reached the limit of development, and so long us this is the case we shall ba able to utilize foreign muscle that is willing to work without intorfering with the we'- fare of domestic brawn. At the samne ! time it is well to romomber that it is | wore protitable to feed 1,000,000 poople HE OMAHA { in our own land than that number sov- | eral thousand miles some uncertainty as will be any legislation tng to is certainly There is | there away. to whether by the present | immigration. 1o urgency for now congress 1 ent for the present thatexisting laws aithfully and rigidiy enforced. ——— THE FLAG QUESTION There is more o less buncombe in the | proposition to stimulate and foster pu- | triotism by keoping the national flag floating over every pubtic school build- ing. Patriotism is notamero sentimen- tal notion inspired by the perpetual waving of the stars and stripes. Tt must bo a deop-rooted ‘conviction begotten of love of freedom. There were no flags on the publie school housesin 1776 but thers were patriots enough in Ame jen to promulgate the decls tion of independence and wrest the American colonies from the ty nical domination of Great Britain Thero wore vory few, if any, flizs on Amorican school houses in 1851, but a million young men volunteered in de- fense of the union and offered their lives on tho abtar of their country. It is eminently proper to cultivate love and. reverence for the stars and stripes among the young, but there is such a thing as carrying this species of patriotism too far. To hoist the flags on logal holidays only, when thero are abundant opportunities for the young and the old to view the emblem of unity from public and private buildings would searcel tisfy the demand of those who inaugurated the flag move- ment, If flags are to be placed on all the school buildings of the city they should be hoisted on days when school isin session. But there 1s a vast amount of tho rawest sort of buncombe in the notion that funds appropriated by the people for cducational purposes shall bo diverted to the purchase of bunting and liberty poles. The tas s of the country owe no such general tribute to to the Ben Butler bunting factory. The expense of flags is by no means a small matter. There are now or shortly will be fifty-five school buiidings in Omahn, A flag staff for each school will cost not less than $30 and the flags will involve an aaditional outlay of prob- ably $15 cach or a total cost to begin with of $2,475. The flag which floats above the United States army headquarters is what fs known in the army as a post flag. It is exposed to the weather from 9 a. m. until 4 p. m. daily except in storms. It is made of the very best material and given espo- cial care, yet it has to bo replaced with a newone every three or four months, It is safe to say therefore that the school flags will last no longer and that three will be required each year involving a further expense of $2,475 annually for the maintenance of the flags, assuming that twenty foot banners would be se- lected. If smaller flags are adopted the expense is materially reduced but eight foot flags cost about $4 each in Omaha and are not adapted to the larger build- ings. In the opinion of Tire BEE there is more nonsense than patriotism in this movement. Four teachers can be paid for their services with 32,475 or that sum will build a two-room frame build- ing in the suburbs.® At this time it would be far more sensible to increase the school facilities than to indulge in the luxury of flags at the expense of the school fund. We believe in the flag idea, but not this wasteful application of the idea. - Vo FARMING PAYS IN NEBRASKA, Farming pays in Nebraska. The ex- perience of overy industrious, thrifty agriculturist in the state establishes this proposition beyond dispute, Interviews with a large number of farmers in a large number of counties, published in Tne BEE, all contribute evidence to sustain the proposition that Nebraska is one of the best farming states in the union. Men who settled upon homesteads in this state with scarcely capital enough to buy a team, can be found in almost every township who are toduy independently rich. Thoy own their farms, have them well stocked, live in comfortable houses and have neat balances to their credit in the banks. Many others have come into the state with capital enough to begin oper- ations but with no means to buy land, who have begun successful business careers as farmers by venting land for cultivation, and are today likewise en- joying a competency. Of course men who commenced with abundant capi- tal have been more successful in this as they would be in any other occu- pation and for the same reasons, but Nebraska has beea and is now the *poor man’s country,” and the history of her farming communities are fu!l of examples of the fact. There are millions of untilled acres in this state awaiting the touch of the thrifty farmer torespond with remunera- tive crops. The experience of last season following as it did a period of agricultural misfortune in which hundreds of farmers raised enough from their lands by a single vear’s work to more than pay their appraised value is conclusive evidence that this isa poor man’s paradise. It is safe to assert that the avernge annual net receipts of farmers for the past ten years aro fully equal to the average annual assessed valuation of their lands. It isa great mistake to say that farming does not pay in this state, for it is untrue, and so patently untrue that every experienced farmer who has been diligent, sober and ordinarily skilful in managing his affaivs 18 a living example of the un- truth. — ADVERTISING THAT PAYS. Aside from the direct benefits real- ized by local communities und the state in general from the development of sugar beet culture and the construction of sugar beet factories in Nebraska, the state hus heen extensively advertised through these mediums.

Utah grows beets by irriga- tion. California’s climate and soil are altogethar different from that of this section, Nebrasika therefore, as the nioneer of sugar beet culturs, would bo immensely bonefited by the advertising alono wero there no other beneficial re- sults achioved, This is another good vouson why wo should give the beet sugar industry encouragement. rdinance granting the chief of e department authority to issue permits to telegraph, telephone and other electric companys to erect poles and wires places too much discretion and power in the hands of that officer. Tt should be amended soas to place the authority to grant or refuse permission with the mayor or Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. Tunr south side citizens who have voted unanimously for three viaducts at once have simply done all they could to prevent the building of one. People should not be unreasonable in this mat- ter. By advocating three of thesd nee- essary structures at the same time they wenken the force of their arguments and play into the hands of the railways.

Thirty-nine out of sixty countias of Now York have held local elections and the demo- crats have lost tho control of tuo boards of supervisors in eleven which they controlled lastyoar. In these counties tho republican suporvisors last year numbered 425 to democrats. This year the ropublican list is swelled nearly a hundred and the democratic list shrinks accordingly. The new boards average a little more than two republicans to ono democrat. This Is the voters’ answer to Governor Hill's thaft of a state senate and forcing & midwliuter convention, S Profit-Shari Edward Everett Hale, in Cosmopolitan. The end of 1391 saw ono auniversary, at the very heart of this country, which may prove to mark an epoch in the social prob- lems of our time. Three hundred workmen, belonging to the N. O.

Mr. Nelson is, so far as I Kknow, the largest manufacturer in Amorica who has come cordially into this system, Satistied some timo since that the expansion of the works of the Nelson company re- quired their removal from St. Louis, Mr. Nelson found in Jlliaois, not far distant from Lhat city, a proper place for the erection of new works and for a village for the workmen.

The party can win, and ought to win. but it can not hope to win if 1t is divided against itself. ‘e streagth of the republican party in Nebraska has been its weakness, Mischief grew out of those great majorities which ul- ways made a nomination equivalent to an olection; ana factions, velying upon in vincible majorities, cut and covered until the party bled at every pore. Public servants chosen by these ever certain majorities dia not always do their duty, and conventions occasionally failed to register the popular will. Hence o independent party in the state which for two years has held the scales apout even with either of the two old parties, Itis worse than folly to rake over the ashes of the past, but there are still a few smoldering embers in those ashes which may be fanned into a flame that shall serve as o light for the future. And now, if the repub- lican party will choose to “‘walk n the light,”” by facing the future with an honor- able purpose, by healing the wounds and bruises that factionalism has produced, ana by making individual amoition suvordinate to public good and party pohcy, it can re- cover a great doal of its lost ground and re- tain the confidonce and support of the voters of Nebraska for many years to come. *‘Let the dead past bury its dead.” In the presence of an enemy—in the presence of two enemies—with our weapons turned unon each other—we are at the merey of attack from front to flank. Foolhardiuess can go no furtner, Now supposine thut republicans stop short in th soul-stirring occupation of fight- ing over again the guberuutorial battle of 1 That is past. Whetner Richards was betrayed in his own camp or whether he was not is a subject that wiil fall short of inspir- g a victory in 1802, The Hub doesn’t care to discuss the werits of the question, but it does want to see a ropublican governor emerge from the battle of the ballots next election day. Even if Omaba defeated the republican candidate for governor in 1800 (admitting this nuch for the sake of argu- ment) it is just as true that the votes of that city saved the repunlican candidate for su- preme judge in 1501 So far so good. Now does it occur to thoso who persist in waging 2 war on Omaha that the vote of that city is very apt to turn the scale on the electoral and state ticket in November of 1802, and that it may be worth while to pursue a pol- icy that will secure Omaha's friendship ana consequently her greatest possible vote for all of the repubiican ticket on clection day ! Here is food for thought. A fow weeks ago the republicans of cen tral and westorn Nebraska sent up a cry for | help. They asked for recognition. They requested that the spring convention be brought west, not for themseclves alone, but in the interest of the whole party. As a re- sult the convention was sent to Kearney by a ununimaus vote of the state committee, bul that action is a mattar of so recent history that toe Hub readily remembers that Omaha republicans and Tur Owaua Bek were the first to respond to that appeal, and thut they did 89 without asking favors for the present or exacting piedges for the future. Cannot the west therefors afford to be zenerous! Can any portion of the west therefore con sistontly join in a hue and cry against Omahat ‘The Hub would have its readers under- stand that it is not making a special plea for Omaha or that it loves Lincolu less, or that it has a special rogard for apy particlar lo cality, It merely recognizes the fitness of things. It believes tnat the Iearney con- veation will mark the advent of a new dis- pensation, and that it will be the presage of victory through a party harmonized, reunit- ed and inspived by the best sentiments that spring from the masses of the people, Ivmay be mistaken, but this muen it believes, and it s more in sorrow than in anger that it se0s u disposition to tear open old wounds aud sprinkle upou them the pepper and salt of rancor and recrimination, SHE ERY ABELLLE. .

On this account thero haa to be two con- tracts made when the property was leasod to Kitteridge & Braluard, one signed by knows I can't afford to put & new roof on tho building and I can’t run the hotel without the annex, for the kitchen is in the annex. That is the reason that Mr. Kitchen has cancolled the contract and brought suft 10 ot possession of the annex, Ho knows 1 can't got along without that part of the building. Idon't think the effort.” S —— Towa and rrison Siowr City Jowrnal, The effort to take lowa away from Harri of | 801 1n tho Minneapolis convention ought not to succeed. 1f the ropublicans of tho stato wore left free to act upon their own judg. ments and upon their own information, lowa would bo quite certaln to cast an undivided vote for the renomination of Presideut Har. rison. The time has never been since 1876 that Mr. Blaino 11d not have the vote of lowa if ho desived it. He does not desire it now. He is not u candidato aud he does not wish to be placed in the attitude of disputing his own word. His letter is accepted as o finality by thoso who really respect his feol ings and accepnt his judgment. If Iowa do- sires to follow Mr. Biaine lot it accopt his conclusion, 1t ator Allison thought it wise to enter the race at this timo, Towa republicans, as they did in 1858, would be glad to gize him A united and enthusiastic delegation. But the senator mokes no concoalment of the fact that heisnot asking such support. Moro than that; he makes no conceaiment that in his judgment it would this time to accept such support, How is it, then, that talk is rife that lowa will appear at Minneapolis to opposo the ro nomination of Harrison? Irom whenoe doos the opposition to the president spring! Town ropublicans aro as well qualified as repub licans elsewhero to answer these questions, Tho patronage is always tho chiof weak- the Kitchen Hotel company, and tho other by mo, one for tho main builaing | caped offending. and the other for the aunex. “Mr. Eastman now holds the proporty under thoso two contracts. They wero made to run ten years, and about two and a half years of the time havo expired. Mr. Eastman has refused to pay the ront for two or three months and I have, accordingly, brought action to recover possession of that part of tho property which belongs to me in person, 1 do not wish to be hard on tho man, but I don’t propose to let hun continue to occuny my property without paying rent. He has given & number of excuses for failing or refusing to pay the rent, but thoy aro ali subterfuges of no weight and I can’t put up with them, tys the Contract 1s Plain, “The contract is us plain as the nose on a man’s faco and there 1s no legitimate excuse for his rofusal to comply with the tovms of the loas . Eastman insists that I should make a repairs, but the contract expressly states that the'lessee shall keep the bailding in good repair av his own exponse. 1 didn't propose to have them sending a messen after mo overy day to have leaks and cracks vepaired. 1 got out of the hotel business in order to get rest, not to be constautly on the | rack attonding to minor dotails about tho hotel.” Why Mr, Eastman Kicks, Mr. Eastman was soen by a Bee roporter and gave his side of the unpleasantnoss. “Itis true that Mr. Kitchen bas brought an action in court to obtain possession of the , annex, and 1t is also true that I have refused | to pay rent and can easily explain to you why I have uuit paying rent. Let me show you the condition of this house, aud Mr. Eastman led the wayto the roof of tho great hostlery, *Look at those patches! See those holes whoro the water runs through and drips down into tho sleoping apartmonts and oven clear into the ~ parlor,” said the hotel man pointing to patches and leaky places in tho tin roof. ~Around the trough at tho outer wall Me. Eastman pointed to sev- eral places where the tin bad rusted and lioles were numerous. “Now Mr. Kitctien bas refused to repair this roof. Over there where the fire burnt through several months ago that great hole stood open for five weeks with all the rain pouring down on the plastering below. Kitchen would not have it repaired because I would not sign an agreement that 1 would not hold bim for any damage done to the furiture by the workmen.”” xamining the Bullding. Then going to tho area in the centor of the building Mr. Eastman pointed to the tin work on tho ledge about the largo sk light over tha rownda saying that ho had to keop all the snow shovelod out of that place to vrovent a deluge in the office and rotuada when it began to melt. “That tin down thero said the proprictor “and we have to wateh it night and day in stormy weathor to keep the ofiice ana rotunda from being soaked by tho dvippings.” Mr. Enstman also pointed out several rooms below on the fourtn floor that could 1ot be used on account of the water drippiug in through tne roof and keeping them in bad | condution. ““When I have asked Mr. Kitchen to repuir | the roof ho hus coolly told me to ropair it my- | self. Now I can’t afford to do it. I am sat- isfied that tho l-use never contemplated repairs of that magnitucde where it mentions the fuct that the lessees are Lo keep the house 1 repair, ‘The hotel needs a new roof, and L is il rotten,” | ness of the prosidont. Harrison has not es His administration, how ever, aas been without roproach, It has been ablo and it has boen clean, 1f the ropublicaps win this year they must fight their battle dlong the linc of theaohiove- ments of this administration and along the lino of contidence in the prospective measures 1t has inaugurated. Will they bogin the bate by discrediting the administeation t 'S If there wore any good reasons for an anto convention campaign against the administra tion the case would be different. The reasons are such as political managers recito symou thetically among themselves in the retre ment of their own socioty, To thoso whose hearts” are sot upon any body to beat Harrison the Blaine lotter was n sharp disappointment, for thoy had counted much on the great name and the deserved pularity of the secrotary. They nocied first a cloak for their purpose. The caso they bave does not warrant a fight in tho opon. Tho point with these zontiomen is to securo an administration that wiil feel the obliga tious of & debtof gratitude—thar will uc knowledge thom before the world, Thoy aro keon enough to understand that thoe country, the rank and file of tno republican party in cluded, does not care who is turned up or { who is turned down in the cabinet and iu tho | positions of less trust ana honor, so that the amsure that no sane man could expect o tonant to go to such an expense as thav, 1 been paying Mr. Kitchen $,500 por b for this house, and_have stood by it through the hard times. Now that thero is an opportunity to mako u little money this summer Mr.” Kitchen seems detormined to freezo me out if he can. He hav old ship of state is kept well before the wind | Therefore they are compelled 1o pross their opposition by indirection. They call it poli tics. It has been sugeested that Towa send a del egation to Minnoapolis for Blaine anyway, What does this moan? Simply that power bo grauted to cnoose a delegation to be usod as a club on Harrison. Nosuch foolishuess ought to be suffered by the intelligent repub- licans of Iowa, If itis, it will simply bo bey cause they fell into atrap. It is easier to keep out of a trap thav it is to get out. s ] SMILES OF SPRING. .
