Any infraction of these condi- tions can be promptly met by an irjunc- tion which any taxpayer can readily secure should sion avise for an ap- peal to the courts. This is not a probable. The taxpayers of Omaha and Doug county will run no risk whatever by vot- ing the bonds asked for, except as to tho amount that may be expended for eloc- tion expenses, and 1t is understood that the Nebraska Central company is will- ing to share that item of expense. This wonld be a bagatello compared with the compensating benefits to acerue from a consummation of this great un- dertaking. There can be no valid reason for a re- fusal to submit the propositions as mado to & vote of the peolo of this county. vefusal to do so will be a base betrayal of the best interests of Omaha and w er ing shamo upon the board of commis- sioners and the city couneil.

Still mo:e seldom is the priv ilege nnd honor accorded the elder brother, himself great and honoruble, to spealk the praises of a younger but still groater brother. This was the interest- ing fact at the Sherman memorial ban~ Guet in New York on Wednesday even- ing. John Shorman, as the guest of the avening, stood in the presencoe of the revered memory of his departed brother and told some of his remaining military comrades, modestly, in porfect taste, but effectively, of the life of General Shoer- man. The daughter of the nation’s hero was likewise a puest, and every man prosent and every patriot in America felt that homage was due to his sacred memory. The plain unostentatious tale which John Sherman told at the banquot will become classic in Americun history. It bousts not of the achievements of the soldier, for bonsts would be absurd in the face of facts which every school boy knows and which speak louder than eulogies. He told of tho brothers’ love for each other, of the experiencus of the great soldier in civil life and of his social characteristics. Side lights are thrown upon the brilliant military record wh he made, but the senator found no armor anywhere needing to be burnished and no mysteries to explain. His public and private life were both frank and manly. Few men who were s0 much misrepresented and so littlo understood and appreciated in the midst of their greatest achicvements have been so triumphantly vindicated in history within their own lifetimes. No other man, it may also be remarked, has been so fortunate as to have John Sherman’s delicate hand, directed by brotherly affection, good sense and pussing ability, put the finishing touches to’ the monument erected to mark his uchievements, What more beautiful tribute could be offered to the memory of his departed brother than the se tor’s closing woras: “It was tho good fortuno of General Sher- wan to have been a chiof actor in this groat drama sud to havo lived Jong enough aftor its close to have realized and enjoyoa the bighest estimate of his service by his com- rades, by his countrymen and by mankind, To me, his brother, it is a bigher pride to know and say to you that in all the walks of privato lifo, as & son, as & brother, ns a hus- band, as @ father, 8s a soldier, as a comrado and as a friend, he was an honoravle geutlo- man, without fear and without reproacn.” THE WORLD'S FAIIR. The new Nebraska World’s Fair com- mission deserves credit for the vizor and systematic attention to details with which it enters upon its carcer. The small appropriation is & handicap from the start, but the commissioners appear to be fully alive to the important work with which they have been entrusted. The meeting held in Lincoln on Wednesday was devoted to a practical solution of the problem of preparing a respectable oxhibit with so inadequate a fund at their disposal. To their credit it may be said, however, that they give the state the promise of an econom- ical expenditure. Ex-Commssioner General Greer’s veport shows that there has thus far been no extravagance on his part. But after stinting themselves at every point, and allowing but $14,000 for a building, they find that 34,700 of the $50,000 will have been expended on March 1, 1803, when it is expected the exhilit will be in place. It is perfectly cloar from this state- ment that additional funds must be pro- vided. The 850,000 will all be needed, beyond a doubt, for the expenses inci- dent to the Nebraska building and sepa- rato exhibit alone. 1In the state building no educational, agricultural, horticultu- ral or other special displays can be mude. Under the regulations of the World’s fair directors these must bo assigned to their appropriate classes in the gover ment buildings. Hence the commission will ask for an additional appropriation. It should be $100,000, thus alloting $150,- 000 in all to the important purpose. Lf THE OMAHA Nebraska could afford n year ago to an- proprinte 850,000, she is abunaantly able now, by of unexampled and the roturn of business prosperity, to 2100,000 ing and en ring tho exhibit. This is not enough, if properly supplementod by indi- vidual and county subscriptions the com- mission will to make hle showing for the most favored ural state in the United States. P THE PIGHT. in the United States sen- ate of Senator Wolcott of Colorado pro- aimed the capitulation of tho men in congress at least for the present The the sil- ver bill having been put to sleep in the house the friends of free coinage might as woll face tre truth on the guestion. Nobody expocted the mensurs to be- come n law during the present adminis- teation, but its advocites had hoped to score advantage at this session. But today, said the seuator, if a vote were had on tho motion to take the sil- ver bill from the calendar it would not bo carried. Several days before the speach of Senator Wolcott his colleague, Senator Teller, d in an interview that he did not deem it bost to forco a vote on the silver question in the sonate atthe present time. As there are no moro earnest and ardent advoeates in congress of free silver coinage than tho Colorado senators, the fact that they give up the fight for the present, which comprohends the Harvison administea- tion, may fairly be assumod to reflect the feoling of the free coinage men gen- erall There aro a few in both branches of congress who would like to continue the contest, hopeless though it would be, but it is evident that the ma- jority are opposed to doing so. Thus another victory is won for a stable cur- rency and an honest dollor. Senator Wolcott arraigned the ad- ministration as the great force opposed to free and unlimited coinage, and moni- fested his dislike of the presidentina way that did not come with good grace from a republican senator who has dono 80 vory little for his party Itis smd that Mr. Wolcott’s hostility to Presi- dent Harrison is not due altogether to the position of the latter vegarding sil- Tho senator isone of those, so it leged, who becamo dissatisfied be- cause they were not permitted to dictato appointments and foist their henchmen upon the public service. However this may be, Senator Wolcott could have said nothing in commendation of the president that would do him greater good than the statement that ho is re- sponsible for the defeat of proposed {ree coinago legislation. The charge is just. The firm and steadfast attitudo of 1 dent Harrison on this question checkea the influence of the free silver agitation in hiz own party and so reassured the financial and business interests of the country as to prevent any serious re- sults from the agitation. Had he taken an uncertain position or wavered in his devotion to a sound and stable currency the republican party might not now be nearly unanimous in opposition to the free coinage of silver under existing conditions, while there would be no such senso of security and confidencein finan- cial and business circles as there isat present. President Harrison could de- sire no stronger recommendation to the country than the assertion of the free silvor men that his opposition to their policy was able to defeat it. Senator Wolcott declared that *‘the people would speak and that free silver would be their verdict.” The gentle- man is mistaken, and his mistake grows out of tho fact that he is not in touch with the peovle. The free silver craze is declining. Even in Mr. Wolcott’s own state, where the organization of silver clubs was started a short time ugo, the movement has met with little suc- cess outside of the mining districts. The farming communities have thus far shown hardly any interest in it, and a Denver paper of recent date appeals o them to come forward and help the movement as a matter of self-defense. In other western states whero a year ago the free silver agitation mude head- way it is now steadily losing ground. When the people speak next November it wiil be for an Lonest dollar and against a policy which would require the government to give the silver pro- ducers 30 per cent, more than the mar- Iket value of their product. ason crops to comy o able ereditas agri- THEY GIV The spoech silver sossion, senator said that some ver. isa 1 VICTORY, The republicans of Rhode Island won a signal and significant victory, They elected the governor, licutenant gov- ernor and secretary of state, and will have at least six majority in the logis- lature on joint ballot. This assures the re-election of United States Senuator Aldrich, and also the election of the candidates for state offices who did nov receive a majority cf the popular vote. As the little state was the first to ren- der a vordiet this year upon national issues, tho campaign was one of the most earnest and hotly contested in its history. It was conducted entirely upon national issucs, the speakers upon both sides devoting themselves largely to the tariff. Among the distinguished repub- licans who participated were ox-Speaker Reed and Governor MeKinley of Ohio. Among the prominent democrats were ex-President Cleveland and ox-Governor Campbell of Ohio. Both parties felt that the result would be impovrtant, and summoned their strongest available men to expound their respective policies and principles, The result is important. It is a defoat of the policy of tariff re- form which is championed by Mr. Clove- land and Mr, Mills. Rhode Island is a manufacturing state and its people are gonerally prosperous. Its industries have grown up under the policy of pro- tection ana have incroased sincs the present tariff act went into effect. It is stated that the inorease of the output of the woolen mills in the state during the last elghteen months is simply marvel- ous. The same can be said of the dif- ferent establishments which manufac- ture every variety of cotton goods. Tho people of Rhode Island are usually well employed and receive good wuges. The working people are thrifty and con- tented. With such conditioas vrevailing the gencralitios of Mr. Cleveland and the demagogic assertions of Campbell aod other tariff veform advocates could have DAILY : givon place to yprosperity.

It wasi little less than an in- sult to theiv intelligen e to they were the victims of a delusion in believing that they owed their empioy- mont and their ‘prosparity to a policy which guarded them against the structive compotition of forelgn labor. The verdict of Rhode Island is for pro- toction and reciprocity, as provided by the existing tariff law, nd that is tainly important The vesult is also important because it the re-clection of Senator Ald- rich, the author of the reciprocity clause of the tariff act and one of the ablest men in the senate. The republican ma- jority in that body is very small, and the loss of so valuable a momber as Mr. Ald- rich would have been a misfortune. The ropublican victory in Rhode Island on Wednesday, with the largest vote by 10,000 ever cast, remoyes all doubt as to which party wili receive the four eloe- toral votes of thut state next November. ——— demo useless to arguo do- cor- assures 'HE county printing was not awarded to the World- Heyald, though Major Pad- dock made a pompous speech in favor of that sheet and sought to bulldoze a con- tract through the Board of County Commissione The discussion devel oped two very significant facts.

Closing at the Exctusion of nnd The lithographic pictures that hang in the front windows along the stroots of Omalia, purporting to be a likenoss of Josoph Cook, are not faithful to his present appear- ance, for the simple reason that hohas shaved off his chin whiskers, A man of herolc stature, a large round head set firm| upon massive shoulders, a fuil round face serving as the window for a pow erful inteliect, large blue eyes that open very wide and appear to seo clear through tho objeot upon which they ave fixed, burnsido whiskers and a fall head of hair of dark auburn huo, slightly sprinkled with gray, will pass for an unfinished pon portrait of tho groat Boston lecturer. ou are one of those dangerous individu- als known as nowspapor men,” said Mr. Cook, s & Ber roporter entered his room at the Paxton in response to tho hearty invita- tion from within to “‘come, " “You soe I am ongagod in editorial work mysolf and I know something about news. paper men and editors,” ha continued, giv ing the reporter a genial hand-shake and asking him to be soated. 1 camo in last night rather late from Du- luth and Minneapolis whera I loctured, and 1 want to say thatthe one thing which at tracted my attention on the way between Du- iuth and Omaha moro than anvthing clso was tho fact that so many favmors leave their reapers and othor valuablo machinery sotting out all winter. It isthe most puz- zling problem that I have seen in connection WIth wostern enterprise, because we 0o on these same farms evidonces of excellont farming and thrift. 1t seoms to mo that if lumber_ is too dear thoy wight use hay or tarpaulin, anything to protect these valuable bieces of machinery from the rust and roin of the eloments. I presume tho ouly explanation of this negligenco lies in fact that your great western farmers aro too mmense onterprisos to look after Only Shines the Brighter, *Yos I have beon lecturiug for somo timo upon sirategic scriptures, or the morits and domerits of tho higher criticism,” sma Mr. Cook turning the tido of conversation to suit tho question of the reporter. *I am moro than ever convinced that the biblo will take caroof itself. The old testament will como out of the present attack, as the new testa- mentcame out several vears ago, with its critics bafiled and broken down. I think the higher criticism of recent years has promoted bible study and we have no reason to feel uneasy with regard to the result. There nover was an nge when the bible had so much influcnce in tho worid as today. Prof. Lathardt of Gormany says : ‘We have scen too many theories riso and fall to be alarmed by new ones. Who knows what grave diggors may bo standing at the door." 1 think that Prof. Briggs, who created some sur recently, has not carried the schol- ars of the country with him. He has said some very bright things and some rast things. Prof, Harpor, president of the great University of Chicago, is, I believe, going to devote cousiderable energy to thie promo- tion of bible study. 1 hope ho will o & grand work in that direction. He holds that tho old testamont stands unshaken. Ro- cout investigation in historic citios prove the accuracy of tho old bible. 1t used to be claimed that the art of writing was unknown in the time of Moses, but rocent excavations ' nave rovealod tablets contawming inscriptions in the cunciform languago written ata period at least 1,500 years boforo the days of Abra- bam and 2,000 voars bofore Moses. The in- scriptions show that thore was a day of rest, one day in seven, kept for rest and worship by the people who inhabited the valley of tho Kuphrates and the region of the Nile. Right in this connection I wish to recommend a book recently issued by Prof. Sayce called ‘F'resh Light from Ancient Monuments.” It is worth its weight in gold.” Favors Sunday Clostng. This naturally led into the Sunday closing question at the World's fair, and Mr. Cook cutered into the discussion of that problem with evident carnestuess. I am in favor of Sunday closing and against tho selling of tiquor in the exposition grounds,” he said. “L want w0 see the Philadelphia standard maitained. Liquor selling was not por- mitted at the Centennial exposition, and the samo rule should prevail at the Columbian exposition. I have spoken in Boston, Cin- cinati, Indianapolis and othor vlaces upon tuis subject and all my nudiences have passed resolutions unauunously in favor of closing on Sunday and ogainst tho selling of hquor on the exposition grounds, 1t will be a financial loss to the managers of the exposition to keep open on Sunday and allow tho selling of liquor. I know of anum- ber of prominent institutions of world-wido reputation that will not make an exhibit av the Columbian_exposition if the affair is to bo captured by tho saloous of Chicago. Massachusetts, Kentucky aud several oth states will not uncover their exhibits on Sunday. Thoy propose to givo employes rost on that day. T am yot hoping that the commissionors will recon sidor their action, close on Sunday aund pro hibit the saie of ilquor on the grounds Turning to the subject of atheism, as sup. ported by Colonel Robort Ingorsoll, the aroay tecturer and biblo defeador said: 1 waste no time in making answer to the alleged arguments of Robert Togersoll, becauso he is behind tho age of infidel and 'atheistic doc trine, tlo1s foarfully vehind tho more re cont theories hold by leading Infidels, o belongs to tho homas — Payne ago, and all_thoso old theorles have been driven from tho flold hors foot and _dragoons long ago. Ingorsoll apponrs to bo insincere in what ho says. His talk |s hatf chaff and balf chafiing. e likes to stir up the orthodox people merely for pastima and as & money makiug enterprise.” Walt Whitman's Poetry. In_Answor to A quastion ns to his os timate of Walt Whitman, Mr. Cook sad: “Walt Whitiman was o mixed quantity, He was a man of power and of brithancy, but a part of the work he left is absolutely unfit for pub licatior. His ‘Leaves of Grass' contains matter that should have boon expurgated 1is friond Kmorson, years ago, spent sevoral 1ours trying to porsuido Whitman not to pub. lish cortain paris of that volume, but Whit man would not be governed by the excellent advice and evon 1o his old ago he vepublisted the whole of it without expurgation.

He appar ently failed to make a distinetion betwoon tha higherand lowerolements in 1ho universe. In sponking of things ho scomed to tako as much delight in doseribing the old bits of bricabrac in the shop of ma iron monger as he did in paint ing tha beau'ios of the star heavons, And 80 in his morals, everything that ex isted appeared to bo worthy of his noblest effort, in his estimation. fio utterly fulod to classify his bettor and his coarser thought and lacked judgment in making what to thought was a selection, but what really amounted to no_ seloction at all—a moro ac coptanco of things as thoy camo to him. Anything that oxisted appeared to bo boauti ful to nim,and the uncouth scomed to atiract 1s attention quite as much or moro than tho veally benutiful. 1f his work is not expur gated it will sink into oblivion.” Mr, Cook is o wember of the Congro tional ehurch at Cambridge. He is a member of Dr. MeKenzie's church, known as *Tho Chureh U tho Bim."" Dr. Asa Gray, the noted botanist, is a membor of the samo congregation. Mr. Cook spoke of Dr. Duryea of this city a8 being a _bright man and’in tensely interested in school and collexo wori whilo ho lived in Boston. Tho great loc turer has just comploted his soveuteenth sea son of Monday lectures in Boston Last Night's I Josoph Cook of Boston was greeted lnst night by a large and thoughtful audience a1 the Meothodist enurch. His subject was “Jesuit Aggression in America.”’ Tue speakor stated at the outset that he did not wish to find fault with the Catholic laity be causo ho believed that seven out of overy ten among tho laity would send theit children to the public schools were it nov for tho domicerig influence of tho clergy. He held that there should be no division of the school funds for the venetit of parochial schools. He would sturdily opposo the offorts of any religious denomination to wterfere with tho public school funds. Mr. Cook held, howevor, that the bible should not bo removed from the public schools. His plan would be to have the dible read in the public schools and have the teacher lend in repeating tho Lord’s prayer, but he would not permit any sccta rian explanation of the scriptures boforo tho pupils. He thought that tho claim set forth by the Jesuits that tho schools of America woro wodless could bo best met and disarmed of its force by placing the biblo in tho schools. One quarter of all the children in the Amer ican schools, ho smd, would never hear the | bible read 'at all if they did not hear it in the public schools. The country could not afford to let o generation erow up in ignorance of such a sublime character as Jesus Christ, the only perfect character in the bistory' of the world. The speaker thought that the character of the iustruction given at parochial schools was not in bar mony with the spiriv of our constitution. In’ concluding his address Mr. Cook advised his audience o keep a vigiant cye upon the interests of the public schools ard to frown upon all attempts that might to made to break down the eficiency of what ne considered the very bulwarks of our na tional life and liberty. Tho address was nearly two hours in length, but tho large audienco seemed to tako deep interest all the way through and i n fow instances tho speaker's romarks wero applauded. e Shot and Kiiled His Sweotheart.
