AS HAS been the gustom for the past fow yours the famous Juno rise of the Missouri and Mississippi has arrived a month in advance of schedule time. INATOR STANFORD’S early retire- ment from public life is foreshadowed by California dispatehes chiefly owing to impaired health and u desive for rost and recreation. The Reading conl combine has evi- dently become a trifle afraid of the pub- lic sentiment, backed by the law. It has announced a 10 per cent reduction on anthracite conl rates, THE council of South Omaha has passed an occupation tax and thereby notifies all parties concerned that revenues raised in the usval manner are not equal to the demunds of the city. SHOULD Missouri happoen, under the leadership of the gallant Major ‘Warner, to go republicen, it will not be so difficult in the future to find an American flag for a patriotic demon- stration in Jefferson City. Tue fact thut Sceretary Blaine en- joyed the circus in Washing*on in com- pany with some friends is not suflicient proof of restored health. When a human being 1s too far gone to enjoy a circus the undertaker will ve found at his door. IN TEMPERING the wind to the shorn lamb the presont season Providence has been especially considerate of the coal dealer.

TiE members of the ecutive com- mittee of the national committes of the people’s party will be in Omaha tomor- row to complete arrangements for the great convention of July 4. The local committee should ho reudy to give them a hospitablo recoption. Omaha has the opportunity this year to muke her pub lie spirit known throughout the nation and the world and should take advan- tage of it. THE tin plate liar has changed his tune. Nine months ago ho was mad at MecKinley because there was no tin plate made. Now he swears because at the end of the first nino months of protec- tion only 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 pounds had been produced. In another year his bowl will be that the Americans have reduced the price to such a low figure that foreign tin plate is driven out of the market, THE BEE regrets that the general con- forence preferred the Exposition hull to Boyd’s theater. The latter would have been a much more pleasant audience room and the acoustic defects com plained of at the Exposition building would have heen avoided. The visitors would not nave been so comfortable, however. It is hoped the delegutes un- derstand that the citizens of Omaha had reservoed the theater for the occusion and that they fitted up the Exposition building upon request of the couference Foproscntatives, BEE. | A WELL EQUIPPED EXECUTIVE. When General Harrison was nomi- nated for the presidency his intimate acquaintances in the United Statos sen- ate were a unit in the opinion that no man had ever beon nominated who could bring to the duties of the high office a better equipment of body and mind than he. A man of excollent health, of grout physical endurance, of education, of natural and acquired skill in govern- ment and of acknowiedged ability, ho entered the white house made competent to discharge the great responsibilitios imposed upon him by an active, studious lifo and an experience in the army, at the bar and in congress soldom enjoyed by ¢ president. During the three years of his admin- istration the opinions of his old sena- tortal have beon confirm He has shown himsell to be o statesm in about all the particulars included in the term. His moessages to congress have been dignified, cogent and patri- otic. His appointments have heen wisely made. e has avoided scandal, and his judgment of men has been gen- erally indicated by the superior fitness his appointees, from cabinet officers to foreign consuls, have shown upon oc- casion, For the first timo in the history of the government, perhaps. has the chief executive possessed the satility which enables him to assume the duties of and direct the departments of cabinet oftic When Secretary Windom was stricken President Havrison guided the Trensury department safoly through a threatened financial crisis. When Secre- tary Blaine has beon ubsent from his duties the president has devoted his at- tention to the State department and the world recognizes his diplomatic ability. When the Indian troubles broke out the heads of the War and Interior depart- ments were surprised to discover how acewately the president conld measure the situation, The navy received h especial attention during the Chilian imbrogli In short, the president is the chief executive of the nation in fact as well as theory. It is not in his nature o be o mere ligurehead and, therefore, should death strike down any member of his cabinet President Harrison would still be able to take up the loose threads of administration and the work would move on almost as if there had been no disaster to the chief of the aepartment. THE TEXAS ALIEN LAND Two years ago a law was enacted by the legislature of s absolutely pro- hibiting any alien from owning or hav- ing any interest in ary land in the state of Texns, This act was declared uncon- stitutional and the legislature in the session, which closed three weeks ago, enacted & modified law on the same subject. This law provides that no person who 1s not a citizen of the United States shall acquire title to orown any land in tho state of Texus, excepting: irst—Any alien who is or shall be- come n bona fide inhabitant of the state shall have the right 1o acquire and own Innd while he is a resident of the state or has deelared his intention to become a citizen of the United States. Sccond—Any alien may aequire land or interests therein in the ordinar; course of justice and in the collection of debts by foreclosuro of mortg. Third—All nonresident aliens who may hereafter acquire real estate in Texas by devise, descent or by purchase may hold the same for ten yoars, and if a minor may hold such real estate for ten years from the time of reaching his or her majority. It is made the duty of the attorney general ard county attornoys to insti- tute proceedings agninst alien owners of land in Texus who do not constitute the oxcepted class, praying for the escheat of their lands on behalf of the estate, as in cases of pursons dying without devise thereof and having no heirs, and by such process of law these lands are to revert to the estate. It is provided, however, that the lands shall be offered and sold at public sale as under execu- tion and the proceeds of such salo, aftor deducting the costs of such suit, shall be held for one year subject to the order of the alien owner or his heirs, and if not claimed within the period of one year the money shall be paid into the treas- ury for the benefit of the state school fund. This law is much milder than the old one, but is liable to seriously re- tard immigration into as and deter foreign capitalists from making lnvest- ments, It is manifest that the object, which the advocates of the Toxas alien land luw have sought to achieve has baen frustrated. Their intention was to strike a blow at alien landlordism, but the numerous exceptions made in favor of alien investors und ereditors practically nullifies the exclusion of foreign land owners. The woakest point in the new Texas law is that it only deals with alions asd nov with foreign corporations, which have acquired vast tracts of land in Toxus, and may without restrictions enlarge their holding: associntes ve LAW spocial THE MAN FPOR BRIGADIER GENERAL, Brigadier General Stauley reaches the age of retirement June 1 next and in- torest in army circlos is contered in his succossor. Much pressure is boing brought to bear upon the president in favor of several officers eligible for the promotion, The friends of each candi- date are actively pulling wires, and there is enough uncertainty us to the president’s action to make the contest ospecially spirited and interesting, Un- fortunately for the best good of the sor- vico thase promotions ave not always determined solely upon the merits of the aspiring colonels. The precedent hus been set for ignoring the relative lineal rank of the officers and appoint- ments have been frequentiy made to satisfy conditions not directly connscted with the military sevvice. Among the several ecandidites Tue BEE feels that Colonel Lugene A. Curr of the Sixth cavalry is most entitled to the distinction, Hoe has been in the regulur army since 1830 and has per formed most conspicuous and urduous service, A gallantofticer on the frontier hoth before and since the rebellion, he hus never sought for or boen assigned to the pleasanter posts. His especial fit- ness for the most ditlicult of campaigns against the Indisns has kept him al- most contiuually, except during the re- THE OMAHA bollion, facing savage foes. During the robellion he was found at all times in the thickest of dangers, and in frontier and rebeilion has repented!y been specially honored for gallant and meritorious services. No man in the regular army now liv- ing has more honostly earncd the stars of a brigadier general. Colonel Carr is r in command Fort Niobrara, Neb., having been trans- ferred from Fort Wingato, N. M.. to this department during the last Sioux cam- paign. He has not been so fortunate us to secure detached or other duty at the national capital and therefore can not pull wires for himself in Washington. He must be promoted, if at all, upon his merits. o is the ranking colonel of cavalry, nnd is but a few days behind nkine infantr He re- service w at olonel tires in 1804 and therefore if he shall be passed over at this time will probably never reach the rank to whizh he is entitled by reason of his valuable ser- vices, His worthy competitors are younger and can expect promotion later. The president can make no mistake in promoting Colonel Carr. It would be difficult to overpraise so faithful and active an officer, and the honor which his friends seck for him can be no more worthily bostowed, It will be but a fit ognition of bravery, intelligence, patriotism and arduous military duty. His promotion can cause no heart-burn- ings among fellow soldiers, whatever may be their disappointments, for they will recognize his right to the distine- tion, THE INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION. In addition to tho intorstate drill Omaha will have as June attraction the industrial exposition of the Ne- br Manufacturers and Consur association. This event will oceur from June 11 to 22, and promises to be a pho- nomenal success. Already nearly all the space in the Colisoum building has been applied for and the late comers are certain to take up what remains. Thoe interest which the manufacturers mani- fest in their first state exhibit is a proof that they realizo its importance feature of the campaign for home indus- try. One lar sk ors as o manufacturing firm in this city has arranged to take a large part of its establishment to the exposition. It will deliver wagon loads of leather at the doors of that building and show every step of the manufacture of boo and shoes even to the boxing them for shipment. Othersare to be reprosent- ed by their machinery and employes from the beginning to the end of the These practically abandon their downtown shops for two weoks in order that visitors may see the processes by which their line of work is accom- phshed. The exposition will be a study in mechanics and other manufactoring processes worth a grent deal to the in- dustries of the stato and to the visitors, THE Bee hopes the state pre will 1y to the support of the manu ersin this enterprisa. They are tak- ing considerable risks in attempting an exhibit entirely industrial. None but actual members of the association, who ke Nebraska goods and employ Ne- aska citizens, ave permitted to make exhibits, Tt will not be a bazaar filled with catch-penny shows and fancy booths. Itis not a money making en- terprise in this sense of the word. It is intended to bonetit Nebraska industri by showing to Nebraska peoplo wi alvendy manufactured in the state and the processes of manufacture. The en- terorise deserves notice from the state press and will doubtless receive proper attention. As but a singla month now remains until the opening of the ex- hibit, it is hoped tho newspapers of the interior will begin to arouse interest in their several communities. exposition. THE Smithsonian Institution and Na- tional Museum at Washington will make an interesting exhibit at the World’s fair. This goes without saying, for without in the least detracting from the intorest of those great national purvey- ors of knowledge they could select from their abundance enourh which average people have never scen to keep them in wide eyed wonder or thoughtful medita- tion from the opening to the close of the t exposition. But these public in- stitutions are not satisfied with an ordi- showing of tho strange, usoeful and curious things of the world slready athered together, It is proposed as one of the specially instructive foaturas of their display to show the assistance rendered to man by the various animals and tho products of the animal kingdom used by him as food and in the arts and industries with the methods employed in their preparation. This will illustrate the methods of utilizing the hair, fur, feathers, scalos, skins, flesh, bone,teeth, horns, claws, viscera, ete., of the various animals, LINCOLN will not probably present any further protest against the pro posed appropriation by congress of 100,000 for the entertainment of the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Her citizens and those outside the District of Colum- bia gonerally will agres, nevertholess, that vhe appropriation and the principle aroall weong, The fact that the Dis- triet pays half of the sum does not alter the cuse, Lincoln was roady Lo enter- tain the Grand Army at her own cx- pense and it is no credit to Washington to be demanding help from the national government after winning the encamp- ment 1n open competition with cities which cannot mulke demands upon the national treasury, COUNCILMEN and citizens who are honestly opposed to the Nabraska Cen- tral bond proposition skould have tho manhood to say so opanly. It is not honorable to pretend to favor a mossuro and av the same time consort with its onemies and attempt to defeat its pui poses by indirection, Men udmire hon- esty even when it is misguided. But subterfuges always breed contempt for the individuals resorting to them to u complish concealed purposes. —_—— THE city echarter was amended some years ago so thit the municipal year should begin in January.

British statesmen are denouncing the fact that the Inman line’ of transatlantic steam- ships has substitutéd the stars and stripes for the union jack of Great Britain, Tneir denunciation is @ trfbuto to the policy of re- publicanism. Eventually the stars auna stripes will fly from the maintop of the ma- jority of the vessels carrying Uncio Sam’s cargoes. That is the end that the reciprocity clause of the McKinley tariff act had in view when it was arafted. -~ ation and Republicanism, Cincinnaté Commrreial, Yale college, on a recent test vote, was overwhelmingly republican.

The convention should give them a choice place as the original pionears of what may yet come to oo a familiar occurrence. The women of Min- neapolis also in their capacitios as individ- uals oras women’s clubs, Browning socie ties, fortuigntlies, King's Daughters, or whatever other shape they may nssume in the aggregate, should accord them an enthu siastic reception and seo that they have a good timo during their stay. It will bo politic for ull to treat thom with conspicuous disunction, for now that the old barrer of prejudice has been so far weakened that two women have found their way into a national convention there is no telling what may hap pen in the future.
