STERLING MORTON does not know how close & shave honest money had in the late state convention of his party or he would talk more guardedly on the subject to Washington niewspaper men The fact is that Mr. Bryan failed to place his resolution into the platform becauso 8o many of the delogates had gone home. THE proposal that congress shall make a liberal appropriation for con- tinuing and enlarging the education of Turopeans in the use of American corn for food is worthy of serious considera- tion, though there is very littlo prob- ability that the proposed appropriation cnn bo secured from tho presont con- gress. The effort that has been made to introduce corn to the tables of Kuro- poans may not have met with as good success as was hoped for, but this is no reason why the campaign of education should be abandoned, and iv is very likely to be unless congress does some- thing to keep it up. The small demand for our corn in comparison with what was sxpected, in view of the short crops in Europe, is somewhat disappointing, but we should persevere in the effort to convince Europenns that it is the part of practical wisdom to learn to use corn as food for themselves. Itis a labor that is pretty sure to yicld mutual bene- fits if persisted AN EXPOSITION to celebrate the dis- covery of America will be held at Genoa, the birthplace of Columbus, from June 1 to November 50, 1802, and the preparations indicate that it will be a most interesting event. It is ofcially called the Italo-American exhibition, ahd it is expected that there will be a generous exhibit from the Uaited Statos, as certainly there ought to be. In the arrangements as originally made it wus provided that exhibitors should send their requests for admission by March 81, but it has been decided to extend the date to May 10, giving 1ntending exhib- itors nearly six weeks longer in which to file application for epace, Every provision has been made for giving for elgn exhibitors liberil consideration. As this exposition will be for six months a center of attraction for all the people of Italy, and will draw many thousands from other Kuropean coutitries, it wouid soom to preseut an excellent oppor- tunity to American manufacturers, and it is to be presumed that many of them will improve it Columbiun exposition the president is empowered and directed to hold a naval | review in New York harbor in Aprily 1503, and to extond to foreign nations an invitation to send ships of war to join the United States navy in rendezvous at Hampton Roads and proceed thenco to said review. It has been feared that tho proposed review would be imperilled by r of tho ommission to provide for it in the curront navy appropriation bill, but Senator Daniel of Virginin will tomorrow introduca in the senate an amendment to tha bill appropriating #300,000 for the expenses of tho reviow and the entertainment of tho nation’s guosts who will accompany the foroign floets, The absence of the item from the navy appropriation bill is explainad by the fact that it was not included in Secretary Tracy’s estimates, on which the bill is based, while the secretary presumably omitted it because legisla- tion demanding extraordinary appro- priations of this kind, originating out- side of the department, is not habitually presented in the annual estimates, The appropriateness of celebrating the discovery of America by some sort of maritime display will not be questioned, and there is every reason to expect that the proposed naval review will bo one of the most notable and memorable events of the kind the world hus known. It is thought that many of the presideuts of American republics and the reigning sovereigns of saveral European nations will come with their navies, and it is snid to be particularly desired that the king of ITtaly and the queen regent of Spain shall participate in the cero- monies. But whethor these pacticular expectations aro realized or not, the review will undoubtedly be one of the grandest in naval history. The United States will be able to make a most ered- itable display. The Navy department oxpects to have in commission thirty-two ssels besides the wooden ships of the navy. The crmser Now York, as well us tho vessels of the white squadron, ason will be in the roview. The Puritan, Montc Amphitrite, Miantonomah, Monudnock and Terror, ships unsur- passed in their class, will be present, will also bs tho Montgomery, Detroit and Machias, and thore will be a num- ber of gunboats and torpedo boats. It is suggested that a reproduction of the Santa Maria, the flagship of Columbu: be constructed to lead the naval proces- sion. Itis proposed that cortain vessols of the foreign nav, Hampton Roads and thenc York those distinguished visitors who may come to this country to see the ex- position. The fleet of American and foreign vossels will sail along the At- lantic const to New Yorlk, with perhaps a visit to Mount Vernon, before leaving the Potomac. The grand review will be held in New York harbor, and afte wards the fleets may visit Boston, Phila- delphia and other eastern or southern ports. It has been suggested that if the review were held av a later date than April the ceromony would probably be more enjoyable, but as the World's [fair will open in May and it is not desirable that there be any counter-attraction to draw people away from the exposition, it will doubticss be decided to hold the naval review at the time aiready desig- nated. That the pageant will form one of tho most fitting, picturesquo and effective tributes to the voyago of 1492 thero can be little doubt, and it wiil have a practical and moral value to the country that will largely overbalance the cost. It is presumed that there will be no serious opposition to the necessary appropriation. THE SECRET OF LONG LIFE. Edward Everett Halo has celobrated his 70th birthday. Ho is as vigorous in body and in mind a3 many men not yet 50. His life has been filled with assidu- ous lubors, but his hair and beard are scarcely touched with the gray of old age. He has the stoop of the student and the inattention to personal adorn- ment of a grandfather, but in no other particular doos he scem to have been marked by his yours. In speiking of his well preserved health at the cele- bration in honor of his 70th annivers: he summed up the philosophy of it in these word: “IPirst, never do anything yourself that you can make others do for you; secondly, never bother yourself akout who gets the crodit for what is done; thirdly, have all your work done hy 8 o’clock in tho afternoon and then go larking about enjoying yourself,” There is a vein of exaggeration and satirve in these three rules, of course, for Bdward Lverott Hule is noted for the prodigious amount of work he doos for himself and he does not expect others to knock off from work promptly st 3 o'clock, He moeans rather that a man should not wear himself out upoa unim- portant details when these can be per- formed by others justas well aud at less 2st. Kor instance, he has long since learned that an amanuensis with a typewriter can make more *‘copy” for publication after an hour of dictation than ho could write out in his crampad nand in half a day, He means, also, that men should so arrango their lubors as to give them the morning hours, following refreshing sleep, and should complete their duties for the day in time to make sure of some recreation in the open air. The differing occupn- tions and the varying conditions of em- ployment should, in his judgment, adupt. themselves in some wuy to give the toilers rost and recroation every day. The second rule is one whick it would b2 woll if every wage-onruer, profess sional man, or wan of business should adopt, Many men waste & vasl amount of nerve force in strivicg to receive credit for work they have performed, which credit would be awarded as a matter of course except for the efforts put forth to secure it. Ewmployes with ambitions are r.ot infrequently hindered in the performance of their duties by this strange notion that somehow they must emphasize the value of their services, their loyalty, or their own abilities by foreing upon their employ- ors certificates of character written, oral or pantomime. They forget that the chean advertisement of the quack does not prove his skill as & pnysician. But there are also somo able, suzcessful and generous, who fret lest their work these In particular that Mr. Hale re- fors. Heo has lived long enough to know that ultimate history is true to real fame and exposes the charlatan, These three rules would save head- aches and worso woarinesses to weary men and women. Thay would prolong life to cenius, and the light would re- tain its brilliancy to the declining years, They would give to men and women the health and happiness which is now sac- rificed to oyerwork and overworry. They would brighten tha homes of the poor and the rich, and they would fmako us all better and happier. Gladstone, Von Moltke, Whittier, Tennyson, Bis- marck, and scores of others who have moved the thought of the whole world, loarned the valus of these maxims, and their testimony now bears out the im- portance of the theory that prolonged lifo with healthful vigor, of mind and body, seldom comes to intemperate, irrascible and discontonted men and women, Outdoor exorcise and joyous leisura, couplod with regular working hours, contribute to this healthfulnes of body and mind, which enables men of mark to mavch through along life of usefulness, doing a vast amount of work and realizing at the end the comforts of a well spent existence. BUREAU OF AMERICAN REPUBLICS. Congress has been asked to make an appropriation for maintaining the Bureau of American Republics, and soveral commorelal bodios in tho onst have passed resolutions favoring such an appropriation. Thete is strong op- position to it among the democratic members of the house, the majority of whom, for purely partisan reasons, have no sympathy with the object of the bureau, which was organized to promote closer relations between the United States and tho republics of tho western hemisphere, and as a medium of infor- mation to our own people regarding financial and business conditions in those countries deomer to be important and valuable, Tho burcau was tho vut- come of the pan-American conference, and therefors n feature of the compro- hensive scheme for broadening and ren- dering more intimate the intercourse between American republics. 1t was to be sustained by coutributions of all the countries interested. It was designed to be an aid to the reciprocity policy, and it is fairly claimed for it that it has been helpful in this respect. The annual report of the first yoar’s work of the bureau, recently issued, fur- nishes satisfactory evidence of the vilue of such an agency for the enlargement of commerciul dealing between this country und its sister American ropub- lice, as well as of the demand for such work here and elsewhere. A vast amount of information has been coi- lected and distributed by the bureau upon the banking, tariff, currency. weights and measures, commercial usages, munufactures, commerce and postal arrangements of the countries which severally participate in the work of the bureau, having a combined popu- Lation of 50,000,000 other than the United States. There can bo no question of the varied importance of the effects of the new interest which the bureuu has been largely instrumental in stimulating; and in view of the possible great extension of our commerce, to which the worlk of the bureau directly contributes, the cost of maintaining it is slight. It would be a mistake to discontinue the Bureau of American Republics at this time. The effect of doing so would be dumaging to the cause of reciprocity. The severing of such alink of inter- course between the United States and tho other American republics for the paltry consideration of a few thousand dollars would create an unfavorable im- pression in those countries as to our in- terest in reciprocity. [Furthermore, European nations are understood to havo taken steps to establish similar burcaus, and for this country to abandon the work now would be to directly encour- age and assist the plans of Kuropean governments to counteract the influerce of the United States in tho commercial affairs of this hemisphe No partisan considerations should have any bearing in this matter, though unquostionably the opposition to the bureau is largely prompted Dby partisan feeling. Tho question of maintaining tho bureau touches the commercial interests and welfave of all the people and of all sec- tions, and it oughtto have the support of men of all parties. GIFTS TO EDUCATION The munificent gift of $500,000 recently made by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan of New York to the trade schools of that city recalls attention to the liboral contribu- tione of wealthy men o the cause of edu- cation, prominent umong which are those of Loeland Stanford, John D, Rockefeller and Mr. Drexel of Phila- delphia. The gift of Mr. Morgan, though not so munificent as those of somo others, will be the means of accomplishing grent good, because it provides for the permanent endowment of an established svstem of schools which has already proven its usefulness. The New York trade schools were founded ten years ugo and openod with thirty pupils in attendance. Thismonth they granted diplomas to 521 young artisans, For a time they had a hard battle againsta vigorousand dutermined opposition, but year aftor year they grew in public attention anu interest, and for several yeurs thewr succoess has been assured. They met a demand which in this coantry has boen growing steadily move urgent, that is for tho means and opportunity to obtain a technical education which are deniea to a largo proportion of Awmerican boys in the regular way. In these schools both the principles and the practice of vari- ous trades are taught, and it is signifi- eant of the demand for such eduncatvion thatsince the time of their establish- 700 young men, well trainod and oquipped artisans, have been gradunted from them. The problem of technical education in this country will avidently have to be solved by schools of this kind and eou- sequently there is no chaunnel into which moen of wealth oan move wisely or with better assurauce of beneficial resultsdiroct jtheir philanthropy. Such institutions as that founleld by M- Deexel in Philade!'phia will do a work for the improvomant, elovation and wmay be wcoreditod to others.

Cremation is gradually maxing its way into the customs of the people of this country. Like electrocution the sonsational newspaper reports of tho first experiment made in America in 1876, with the body of Baron von Palm, coused a most revolting sensation. Within the past decado a marked reaction has taken place in public senti- mont and crematorics are no longer un- common. At this time there are four- teen crewatorios in the United States, located as follows: Washington, Lan- caster, Philadelphin and Pittsburg, Pa:, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Detroit, Atlanta, Davenport, Los Angeles, Buffalo, Troy, Waterville, N. Y., Fresh Pond, Long Island, near New Yorkand Brooklyn. A crematory is now in courso of construction at San Antonio, and others are to bo built at Chicago, Cleveland, Milwaukee and Boston. The Fresh Pond crematory more than cleared expnenses last year and a Phila- delphin society disbursed over $75,000 during 1801. Recently a society called the “Workingmen’s Cremation society,” has been founded in Newark, N. J., and atits last meeting twenty-seven appli- cations for memborship were filed. Many prominent Americans have within a fow years past directed that their re- mains be incinerated. Only a few months ago tho romaing of Charles D. Drake, a former senator from Maryland and for ye: chief justice of the United States court of claims, wore cremated at Oakview cemetery, Baltimore. Mani- festly cromation is rapidly gaining ground in this country, ana at no distant day every large city will have one or more crematory establishments. BEAUTIFY THE SCHOOL GROUNDS. Omaha has an investment of fully 82,000,000 in school grounds and school buildings. Up to this time, however, our boards of education have limited their efforts to the purchase of conven- ient sites und tho erection of school houses constructed with due regard to the convenience, ¢omfort and heaith of pupils and teacheys. It seems tous t we have reached a stage in the city growth that justifies a reasonable ox- penditure for baautifying the school grounds. Thero is something inspiring in lawns, flower beds und shrubbery on the plots surrounding our school build- ings. The barren sand banks and un- couth school yards are evidence of u la- mentable want of ghrift and taste. It goes without saying that no eity in this country haé g more sightly High school campus ¢hih Omahg, but it has voceived comparhtively little attention at the hands of our school Otter school yards are’even in a more dilapidated condition. A competent landscape gardoncr could within two yoars convert these grounds into the most attractive spots in Omaha and enhauce its reputation as a model public school city hoards. Faith and Folly.

Isin & the New YoRk, Avril 16,—The Red line stoam- ship Philageiphin arrived at her dock in Brooklyn today from La Guayra,which place sho left on April 0, and brought the informa- tion of a battlo between the governmont forces and the revolutionist: at Trujillo, Venezueln. K. M. Bartlott, secrotary of tho Unitea States legation at Caracas, was a pas senger oa the Philadelphia. He 1s oo o sixty days' leavo of absence and is golag to his home at Boston, Among tho passengors was Carlos R. Brun, who is thoroughly conversant with affaivs i1 Venezueln. Mr. Bran smd that business was almost at a standstili at Caracas on ac- count of the disturbed condition of the coun- ey, What follows 1s the substance of what he said: A ticreo battle took placo botwoen the gov- ernment foroes and tho rebels on March 20, at a place called Trujillo, avout 400 Kilometers from Caracas, in which it was reported that 50 were killed and a large number wounded. ho government forces were under command of Genoral Cipriano Costri, and wero sont out into the country to break up a gathering of the rebols.

It was said that the rebels numbered several hundred, and from the contiictiag reports that reachod Caracas as 1o the number killed, it was thought that the battle was a victory for the 1roops of Palacio. Affairs in Venozoula aro in a state of an- archy from the fact that thero is at pressnt no coustitutional zovernment. The term of Palacio as president oxpired on Fobruury 20, and thero has been no election for n new prosident. Palacio retains his position as head of the government illegally and by force. Any roport that tho troudlo in Venezouls has veeu settled arises from ig norance or a willful perversion of facts. Tho term of presidont of Venezuola was formerly two years, and no prosident could succeed himself. Palacio, desiring to pro- long his power, got congress to mako the term of presidant four years, witn eligibility to succeed himself. This wis done, but not to take effect untit after Palacio’s torm. Tho Iattor clause thwarted Palacio's amobition, and then followed tho quarrel botween Palacio and the congress, tue court of ap- peals and the supreme court. Iu the meantime Palacio’s term as prosi- dent expired in February and no eloction has been held or can be hold'in tne prosent con- dition. Tells n Dilferent Story.

The consu! re- ceived a communication from General Luis Level do Goua, Venczuelan minister to Fraoco, in which he states, by order of Palacio, that peace will soon be established and that there remains only small armed factions in the stato of Lus Andes and another in the state of Araugna. All the Test are ut peace. 'I'ho miuister’s letter con- cludes with tho statement tnat tho best proof that peace prevails is the fact that he intends to sail for France within a month to assuwe his ministerial functions there. The official buliotins received by the consul give the government reports of several engage- ments betweon tho government forces and the insurrectionists, but most of these re- ports are indefinito.
