WILL the union. dupot problem solve Itself, or must the city wait until June 16 to see work resumed on the half- finished structure? “EVERYTHING comes to him who waits,” and it is possible that we shall have a solid week of sunshine before the vwentieth century dawns. Tue Board of Public Works and the city council have got together at last and all good oitizens will vejoice. Thelr concerted action will pave the way to pave. THe great majority of Kuropean na- tions huve consented to take part in the world’s international silver conference nnd the success of that great body is assured. A LAW has been proposed in New Jer- sey forbidding the attendance of girls at picnics. This is probably a move toward the extermination of the great New Jersgoy mosquito. IT TURNS out that Chicago’s smallpox patient is a Philadelphian, and this fact is pointed to as an evidence that Phila- delphia people are not, after all, too slow to catch anything. * THE recent rain period in this country has been very long, but we can’t com- plaiv of it s much as the prince of Wales can complain of the length of the reign period in England. I7 18 well known that the wives of 1n- vantors us a rule do not beliave that the inventions of their husbands are of much account, but the public will be surprised to learn that Mrs. Edison prefors candles to any other form of household illum- ination. Ir 18 interesting to hear men talk mbout ‘*‘stampeding” the Minneapolis convention., The day for that sort of thing is past. Emotional enthusiasm is Bt a discount now and cool deliberation will govern the republizans in the work of selecting a candidate. THOSE who are doing the crying act about Omahu are certainly not those who evor aided in building it up. The progressive men of this city who have done 8o much for it have more confi- dence in it now than evor before. e - fidence begets confidence. A DINNER set made by Tiffany cost Mr. Mackay 895,000, and 1t is said that no sovereign in Europe eats from such Rgorgeous plate. But the poor man with & ham sandwich and a good digestion continues to be an object of envy in the eyes of the money princes. Tie gambiers ave treading on quick- sand. If thoy pay fines undor the city ordinance by that act they admit an in- Iraction of the statutes, the penalty of which is a term ia the pen. It would be Interesting to know which horn of the dilemma they will elect to take. IN NEW YORK over 42 per con t of the population are of foreign birth, while in Philadeiphia the porcontage of people of foreign birth is only a little more than half as great. But the p-oportion Is about right, for New York has the most rapid naturaiization machinery in the wo:ld. SI0UX Cr1y is going ahe:d manfully with her flood suiferers. But it is hard to understand why that city refused aid contributions of hor saloonkecpers and accepted that of a Milwaukee brewing firm, That’s the difference 'twixt twee- dlededum and tweedlededee. ENGLISH capitalists avo still seoking syndicate investments in the Unitod Btates. Itis roported thuta syndicate of even greater finuncial strength than the Standard Oil compuny is in process of formation between Loudon and Chi. eago capitalists for the purpose of con- trolling extensive oil folds in Ponnsyl- vania, West Virginia and Obhio. A great pipe line to the sviboard is one of the fentures of the scheme, nnd the -syndi- c:to will become a competitor against the Standard ia itsown field, If it does not prove o be a stockjobbing project it may be productive of sowe public bonefita A K e - e e NEBRASKA AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. From this time torward the Nebraska World's fair commissioners will need to push the work they have to do with greater vigor than has yet been shown in order that this state shall have a creditable exhibit at Chicago. We have no criticism to make upon the com- missioners, They have doubtless done all that it was practicable to do up to thistime. The state has boen divided into districts and progress has been made in the preliminary work of organ- izing. There has been something done in the matter of arousing popular in- torest and creating a sentiment that Ne- braska must not be outdone by othe: western states in making an adequate display of her products. In these re- spects the commission has perhaps done all that could reasonably be expected of it. Everybody now soes that the appro- printion made for Nebraska's exhibit was too small. At least double the amount ought to have been provided, and the necessity for practicing the groatest prudence in expenditures handicaps the work of the commission. There are some things it is desivable to have done which must remmin uundone because the expenditure they would in- volve cannot be spaved, and it would not be safe to do them and depend upon the next legislature for an additional appropriation. The legislature will be asked for more money for this pur- pose and very likely will provide it, but the commission cannot take this for granted and incur pecuniary obligations beyond the amount it is authorized to use. It is unfortunate thata more liberal view of what was necessary did not pre- vail with the last legislature, but as ivis, the World’s fair commissioners must do the hest they can with the money that has been allowed them for preparing an exhibit, trusting to the next legislature to provide more money for carrying out such plans as may safely be postponed until next yoar. In any event the liberality of private enterprise will have to bo largely de - pended upon to sscure for Nebraska 8 an exhibit as it is desirable she should have, and undoubtedly there will be no risk in doing this, Many manu- fucturers and some of the more progper- ous producers will not hesitate to con- tribute to a purpose which there is overy reason 10 balieve till have results highly advantageous to the future prog- ress and prosperity of Nebraska, and the cities and towns of the state having important industries might very prop- erly provide a parvof the money nec- essury to make an adequate exhibit of such industries. It cannot be too strongly urged upon our people that Nebraska must have such a display av the Columbian ex- position as will fitly illustrate the splen- did capabilities of the state, and of which Nebraskans visiting the exposi- tion will have reason to be proud. It would be better not to be veprosented at all than to have a cheap and inadequate exhibit. The millions of visitors to the World’s fair will be favorably impressed or otherwise regarding the relative capabilities of the states according to the character of their dispiays, so that the states which make the best showing of their products und resources will reap the largest rewards. It will be the op- portunity of the next half cenwry for the west, and Nebraska must take the fullest possible advantago of it. HARRISON AND THE COLORED MENR. The .mempc to disparage President Harrison in the respect and confidence of the colored men of the country has falled. It was a reflection upon the in- telligence and the gratitude of that class of our citizens i0 assume that it would not fail. The colored men who take an interest in political affairs, anda the number of such is large and stead- ily increasing, wateh with keen and zealous interest the course of political leaders toward their race, They have the infirmities common to humanity, but they cannot be deceived as to who are their friends and who are not. They know what has been done for them and can estimate as accurately as anybody the motives that prompted it. They are a grateful people and do not forgat those who have treatea them fairly and have honestly endeavored to secure them justice under the laws. When an attack was recently made on President Harrison in the house of rep- resentatives, charging that he had not given vhe colored race udequate recog- nition in public affairs, it was resented by the one colored member of that body. Since then prominent lenders of tho colored race have expressed themselves regarding the president, and such men as Fred Douglass, ex-Senator Bruce,Con- gressman Cheatham and ex-Congress- man Lynch emphatically declare that President Harrison is in every way worthy of the confidente of the colored voters of the country. ‘I'here is but one colored man of prominence who has pro- claimed opposition to the president, and that is John M. Langston of Virginia, but dissntisfaction with everything politically bas long been a chronic condition with Langston. It is his way of securing uttention to himself, It is possible that be may be able at Min- neupolis to infect some of the colored delogates with his disease, but thero will be st onger men of his race there to counteras influence, No man who is familiar with the pub- lic record of President Harrison will question for & moment his sincare solici- tude for the interests and welfare of the colored race. He has never failed on any proper occasion to demand for them civil and political justice, and no public man of today hus advocated their cause as citizons, entitled to the same rights under the law as ave nccorded to white citizens, in stronger or more explicit language than has boen used by the presidont. So far us the matter of giv- ing recognition to the colored man in public affairs is concerned, if that be the proper criterion by which to judge of a president’s friendly intercst in the race, it ean ve claimed for President Hurrison that he hus shown move con- sideration for the colored race than any of his prodecessors. It is obviously the purpose of the op- positiou to the president’s renomination t0 bring all the influence they can com- mand 10 bear upon the culored delegates to Minneanolis in the interest of some other candidate, but if they accomplish THF OMAH A anything thoy must find another argu- ment than is involved ib the chargethat President Harrison has failed to show a proper consideration for .the colered citizens of the country. Thut charge has already been overwhelmingly re- futed. EXPOSITION PREPARATIONS. As the time for the opening of the Ne- braska state exvosition in Omiha ap- proaches it becomes more appareat from day to day that the enterprise is hap- pily conceived and that the plans will be successfully carried out. The en- thusiastic interest taken by manufac- turers in every part of the state shows that there is no ground for the fear that the exposition will prove to be too much monopolized by this city to be reprs- sentative of the enterprises and re- sources of the state at large. In fact it would seem as if the exhibitors from other towns are even more keenly alive to the importance of the exposition than the Omaha people themselves. They look upon it ns a state institution in the broadest sense and feel that they are as much resnonsible for its success as if they were carrying on their bu this city. This is the right spiri as enthusiasm is always contagious it is to be expected that every town in Ne- casks will be adequately represeuted. This will not only promots a healthy vivalry on the purt of the exhibitors but will aiso stimulate local pride among the people and insure a great popular inter- est throughout the state which will re- sult in a large attendunce at the ex- position, As an educator the exposition will exe.t a wide influence. It will give the people of every section of the state an opportunity to learn what Nebraska is doing upon the line of industrial trade and progress and will open their eyes to the many advantages to be derived by them from the development of the inter- ests represented. Everything that tends to such development also tends to the wncement of other interests, and man who attends the exposition and thus lends encouragement to manu- facturing and trade enterprises in Ne- braska will himself be an indirect gainer. The wide interest already man- ifested shows that this view of the case prevails throughout the state. T0 Omaha people, many of whom are totally unacquainted with the progress that is being made by other towns, the exposition promises to be a revelation. 1t will prove to them that the spirit of enterprise is as wide as the state and that manufacturing and trade interests ave taking wonderful strides in every town where they have been established. Prompt and vigorous work in arrang- ing the exhibits issuggested, and of this there is need. Care should be taken that the opening day shall not find some of the oxhibitors unprepared. The 1m- portance of having the exposition open in perfect order will be appreciated when it is remembered that the first impres- sions of visitors will have an influence upon the success of the undertaking. TRADE AND LEGISLATION. The rapidity with which trade and commercial organizations have spread in the United States during the past fow yonrs may bo taken as an evidence that they are serving the various pur- poses for which they are designed. Not the least important of the objects of boards of trade, chambers of commerce and kindred bodies made up of business men is to influence legislation in the interest of the people at large, and the results which they have achieved in this direction have been and will doubt- less continue to be uniformly beneficial to the masses. A register of the com- morcial organizations of the whole country is kept by the New York Board of Trade and Transportation. It shows that there are 1,066 bodies of this class now in existence in the various states and territories. Three years ago there were, according to the report of the bureau of statistics, only 506 organiza- tions of this character. That their number should have more than doubled in so short a time shows that their advantages have been widely recognized. Now York heads the list of states with 150, Massa- chusetts has eighty-nine, Pennsylvania eighty-two, Ohio sixty-cight, and other states follow as a rule in the ovder of their population and the extent of their commercial interests. Nebraska is credited with only ten, but there are nineteen states and territories that have a smaller number. Although the chief function of these organizations is the promotion of com- mercial prosperity in the communities where they exist, their influence is often exerted in behalf of legislation in which the people at large have a com- won interest. They are entirely com- posed of men whose interests are inter- dependent and who are necessarily so- licitous for the common welfare because their own prosperity is staked upon that of the general public. Trade orgaaiza- tions are composed of elements so di- verse that they could not combine in the interest of class legislation inimical to the common welfare if they should try to do so. Hence it follows that the recommendations of trade organizations have great welght in congress and in the various state legislatures, and as their number grows this wholesome in- fluence will be extended. This is an era of commercial activity in which busi- ness interests predominate over all others, and every agency that helps business helps the people at large. But a chamber of commerce or a board | of trade is not alone influential in behalf of legislation directly related to mate- rinl prosperity. Such organizations may and often do bring their power to bear upon the mukers of laws in she in- terest of the public welfare in directions wholly unreluted to commercial affairs, and doubtless their usefulness will be yet further extended as their represent- ative character becomes more gonerally recognized. Thelegislator whois guided in his action by the wishes of such or- gun lzations cannot go far astray. e THE wore the Nebraska Central pro- ject i» discussed the more it will com- mend itself to the support of every voter whose first concern is for the progress and prosperity of Omaha. Thero has not beeu & single valid argument ad- vanced ia opposition to this enterprise, and huving most carefully studied it DAILY REER: from eve [m|n| abview THE BER does | not hesitate to sdy ¥hat no argument of any force or walidity can bo urged against it. Th® Jp-oject contemplates giving to Omaha [ hat it has always | needed in order:to ket the best results from the natural’advantages of its posi- tion, and the safdffuavds ace so ample that the community tukes no risk what- soever. It is impbs¥ible to conceive of a | fairer prooosition, shisa the company has made, and all attempts to pick flaws in it will fail. The pépple ave giving the matter intelligend gonsideration, with a full understandingrof the influences that | are behind the opposition, and the pro- ect is steadily growing in popular favor. WHEN the Union Pacific railroad was constructed Omiha was promised a union depot. The foundation walls was built *way bick in the '70s and then work was abandoned. When the United States court fixea tha eastern terminus at Dillonville the depot was built there. Omaha got the cowshed and a long of broken promisas. When los Francis Adams was in control hoart softencd and he orderod a union depot. That hops which springs etornal took a bull movemsnt. Plany were adopted, work was commenced, only to bo stopped when the ousside walls had been reared to the second story window-sills, Thus it is ssen briefly that in all these long, tedious yoars Omaha has grown to & population of 150,000 and the union depot is still a matter of the future, But the peopls of Omaha will huve a union depot. Their votes on the hond proposition June 16 will prove that statement. And when Juy Gould learns that another railway company is building a union depot he will probably conclude that the time has arrived when the Unioa Pacific can profitably redeem its promises to nm city. THe question of licensing gambling is not one which should have bean deter- mined on the score of expediency, or with the idea of seeing how such w plau wouid work. Gambling is declared by the law to be a cr m >, and it is there- by excluded from any such tecognition as it receives under the licensing ordi- nance. The plain duty of the authori- tios is to suppress gambling instead of countenancing and tolerating it, and the assumption that its supvression is im- practicable cannot be allowed to excuse or justify the other course. That which the law mukes a cxime must in all cir- cumstan be treated as a crime. A mistuke has besn made, but it is not irremediable, and it is incumbent upon all good zens to exert their influence to secure remedial action as promptly as possible, Miss CLARA BARTON informs the pub- THURSDA Y. | that the show was to be ciosea on Sundays, | the saidl art gallory or its annexes, or i any | part of the grounds of the said exvosition lic that the Red Cross society will ro- ceive no more food for distribution in Russia and recommends that grain and money be sent to" the flood sufferers in the south and west, of our own country. There is some sense in this, and it is to be hoped that it will be the means of re- lieving the wants of the poor colored people along tne’Mississippi. b SENATOR HILL was so happy a few months ago that he could scarcely con- tain himself, but he is now the saddest man in the United States. ‘‘Let them have the brass bands,” he said, refer- ring to the Cleveland men,"I've got the delegates.” But it appears now that the Cleveland men have ‘“‘got the dele- gates” to some extent.

Heo said theso words with 8o much vositive- ness that iv impressed the under officor vory much and he asked why ke was so sure of it. “'L can only say,” continued Mr. Blaine, “that my name will not go before the Minne- apolis convention and 1 will not be its nominee,” This statoment, made carly this morning, when taken with another incident, hus greatly depressed the rule or ruin crowd. This afteraoon Seuator Quay called upon the secretary of state with the avowed pur- Ppose, it is stated, of either securing a line or two in Mr. Blaine's own handwriting to the effect that if nominated under cer:ain con- ditions he would not refuse, the words to be used only under stipulated conditions in the convention, or a posiive verbal statement to the Pennsylvania senator that under no con - ditions would he (Mr. Blaine) decline tho nomination before action was takon by the convention. 1f neithoerof theso statements, written or verbal, could be socured it was the purposo of the anti-Harrison men to drop Mr. Biatne and try to defeat the president's renomination by placing a number of ‘‘fa- vorite sons’ before the convention and with- holding a majority vote from the president.

Allison and a half dozen other prowinent names. But the name of Biamne will be played for what it is worth, for the Palpablo purpose now of using it as an instrument against tho president. Thero have been all sorts of reports circulated at the capitol today against tho administra- von’s strength. Ono was that Senator Sawyer of Wisconsin, who is one of the most influeatial rupulvll(‘nun in the west, had said, in view of tho prominence of the Biaino boom and the opposition to the president, tho safoty of the party lay in a third man and that somo other republican must be the nominee. Senator Sawyer said of this rovort to Tus Bre correspondent on the floor of the senato thisafternoon: *Ihavenotonly nor.given ut- terance to such thought but I have not enter- tamed 1t. What I have said and what I have to say is that the safety of the party lies in the president's renomination, und that under the existing conditions a third or new name would be very inadvisable. I am sure the president should and wiil be renominated.” Another campaign lie was circulated about the intentions of the California delegates to Minneapolis. It was stated that they would all voto for Blaine, whether he was placed before the convention or not.
