THE EXPOSITION, Tho first weel of the Manufacturers’ exposition has been gratifyingly sucoess- ful. The remaining anys of the exhibit ought to #itness a greater success in the matter of popular attendance, since there will be no other attraction to divide the attention and interest of the It is unnecessary to repeat what has boon said over and over again in the newspapers and by every visitor | regarding the merits of the exposition. It is by far the finest industrial exhibit ever hold in this section of the country. Considered simply as such it affords in- teresting and instructive entertainment, but it has a valve beyond this. Itisa great object lesson in what Nobraska is doing industrially, and shows that our home manufacturors are prepared to supply the demands of our own people for many articles which are in all respoets as meritorious as similar articles made elsewhere and can be sold ascheaply. It is important to have Tearned this, because the knowledge will lead Nebraska people to buy more largely of Nebraska goods, and the eifect of this will be to increase the manufacturing industries of the state. In this way the enterprising manufacturers who make exhibits wi 1 by amply repaid for their labor and outlay. Anotker excellent influence which the exvosition has had isin creating a better sentiment in quarters where a change of fecling was to be desjred. Omaha stands bettor with the state at large by reason of the association be- tween its manufacturers and business men and those of other exposition has brought avout. quuintance has produced mutual re- spect, and this wi'l grow to the advan- tage of all eoncerned. The exposition, it is now understood, will close next Wednesday night, and those who have not visited it should find an opportunity to doso. It will afford them pleasure and the profit that comes of acquiring useful information, and besides thoy will have the gratification of knowing that they have helped to make a popu- lar success of the first oxposition of the manufacturing industr! of Nebraska. A MARKE®T FOR THE WORLD. At the annual conference “of the British Iron Tradé associatisz held in London on Wednesday the World’s fair was discussed from the point of view of the British iron and steel industries, which are in many rospects the most important industries in Groat Britain, The president of the association de- clared that this oxposition woula be the satest that had ever marked the progress of nations, He said thav Brit- ish turers ought not to con- sider the markets of the United States only, but also the futuve of the iron trade of Great Britain and its relation with North and South America. An- drew Carnegie, the well known Ameri- can iron and steel manufacturer, said that the United States was the best customer of Great Britain and was likely so to remain. He declared that it only to America that England could look for an increase in her trade, which was aiready at a standstill and declining with some countries, It would be very strango if English iron manufacturers should take any other view of this subject. There certainly 18 no other nation on earth thav is now or prom tobe in the future capable of viding so large a market for iron and s the United States. Our own facilities in this line are being rapidly developed, but the fact that we can manufacture iron and steel does not necessarily shut out Great Britain, The American protoctive system was never intonded to produce that result. It was dosigned to protect the American wok- ingman and his employer by providing against competition upon the basis of ruinously low wagos and unprofitablo margins of profit to the manufacturer. If Great Britain can come into our mar- ket upon the terms which we offer there can be no reasonable objection from any source. Every patriotic American should be prepared to welcome exhibitions from foreign lands at the World’s fair, Under the law that fosters home industries there is a murket for the whole world in this countr ol oular has beon issued by F. A. Barton, superintendent of the educ tional departmentof Nebraska’s World’s faie exhibit, in which the hearty co- operation of all intevested in the schosls is solicited, to the end that Nobraska may makoe a good showing in this re- spect. This is not only a great agricul- tural state, but it is also a common- woalth in which educationis ancouraged and fostered to such an extont thut its porcentage of illiteracy 18 smaller than that of nny otherin tho union. It should be remembared that a reputation for having good schools and an appreciation of the benefits of education ave of great value to any state, and particularly so to a comparatively state whose futuro depends greatly upon the advan- tagos offered to thoso who ave secking homes in the west. 8 It is a common belief in the east that tho new statos look upon mtarial ad- vantages, the opportunities for making mone being of the first importance, and therefore it is nov str that eastern people who coma heve ave sur- prised by the evidences of education and culture which maet them on every hand. Somothing may be dons by moans of the educational department of our state exhibit atthe World’s fair to correc impression that oducation and an appre- ciation of the value of good schools are confined to the older states. It is not Ly Muterial prospoerity in Nebraska goes hand in hand with soclal progross. The state is proud of her schools and all friends of vducation will do what lies in their power to insure the succoss of the oduecational dopartmont of our oxhibit at Chicago next year. now g0 THE HALLELUJAI CAVALRY. All sorts of msthols have been adopt- ed by religlous bodies to forca homs to the minds of the wicked the import- ance of chunging their ways of lifg, but the Salvation Army in California has thougzht of somathing new in the way of advortising. It has organized a eavalry brigade which will sweep through the counzry in regular military fashion ou spirited brouchos. Cavalry saddles have'beet purchased for the men and will be set off with red-braided saddle cloths. Tho uniforms will be white cavalry fatigue hats, loose red blouses and cuvalry boots with' long spurs. The leading riders will carry lances and long pennons. These picturesque troopers will camp along their route in regular army style and will penetrate the moun- tain and desert parts of the stute in pur- suit of souls, The cooking for the sol- diers will bo done by a Chinese convert, Lieutenant Fong Sce. This scems very absurd at first glance, but after all it is in line with the methods which this peculiar religious body has pursued in tho streets of every city in this country and in many por- tions of Kurope with some measure of succoss. Roligious work is conducted on practical lines in these days. The Salvation Army soldiers are not the only ones that advertise as a means of attracting sttention to the bonefits of ropentance and right living. Sendn- tionalism prevails in a greater or less degree among all bodies whose mission is to present the truths in which they: believe. It pays to advertise, and it, may be said in no spirit of irreveronce: that advertising of one kind or anothor, according to the character and intelli- gence of the people before whom 1t is presonted, will ‘be found useful as = means of converting the wicked in all communities. But the Salvation Army of California seems to have outstripped all competitors in this direction. SS HOPE. Those who based their hopes of demo- cratic success in the coming campaign upon the prospect of republican defec- tion, resulting from the rivalry at Min- neapolis, should now begin to see that such hopes were groundless. From all parts of the country come reports of the satisfaction with which the renomination of President Harrison is received by the ropublican masses, and those who op- posed his renomination are emphatic in theirstatement that the division intha convention ended when the choice of the majority was made known. The feeling there manifested was never intended to oxtend 1nto the campaign, and tho fol- lowers of Mr. Blaine are prepared to give an earnest and effective support to the nominee of their party. It would be absurd to assume that they would do otherwise. Whatever their devotion to the man of their choice may have been, it nover obscured their purpose to pro- mote the success of the republican party and to exert themselves in behalf of its principles and its candidates. . It is natural that the democrats should mako as much as possible of the rivalry which they ave pleased to call a bitter war of extermination. They need all the encouragement they can get from such a view. But they forget that a party that has principles and purposes to fight for is not so easily disturbed by a division upon candidates as one that has no higher motive than a iust for power. Such a division is a serious matter when it occurs in the democratic ranks,because the members of that party are not held together by the boad of a common purpose to promoto great pub- lic interests, Patriotism has 1ts uses in the contests of peace as well as in those of war, and the political organization that is actuated by patriotic motives al- ways has the advantage. Republican approval of the renomination of the president will be unanimous at the polls. [t could not be otherwise in view of the character of the nomines, the splendid record of his administration and the lively interest which all republicans feel in the continuance of the beneficent policy which is doing and promises i do s0 much for the country. —_— AMERICAN AND FOREIGN SCHOOLS, At a meeting of educators recently held in Hartford, Conn., President Eliot of Harvard university made an ad- dress, in which he said: “We are all wrong in supposing that we have the best school system in the world. There is not a country in the north of Europe which has not a better system. The immigrants who come to our shores from abroad will be found to have a far better school training in what are de- nominated the common branches than the average of the rural population of this country. In democratic schools we close the gate to the scholar in all the interesting studies aftor the age of 13.” This utterance of the Harvard president has been sharply cr od, but thought- ful people will not be too reudy to as- sume, with some of his crivics, that his statoments are altogethor proposterous, It may be granted that they are some- what radical, but it cannot be said that they are wholly unwarranted. Few Americans will be willing to concede that the school system of this country is really inforior to tho systems of all the countries in the north of Rurope, but discreet Americans will not claim that we can learn nothing from theé school systems of northarn Kurope. The fact is that during the last quar- ter of u contury very great educational progress has been made in Europe, and while the public school system of the United States has also advanced, it is questionable whether it has kept pace with the progress of the people in other vespocts, The school system of Gormany has for & genoration been regarded with tho highest favor by educators, who frankly concede that some of the methods of that system are superior to ours and would be an advantage to our schools if adopted here. A writer in one of the magazines, who had made a careful study of the German system, recertly pointed out some of the moro important features in which he regurded it as very mueh botter than the American system, und while opinions may differ as to this, it must be acknowledged that the Ger- mans have shown great wisdom in or- ganizing their s:hool system. Marked progress hus also been made in Great Britain within o few years. The schools are now open to every boy and girl in the kingdom and there is a compulsory oducationol law which is very rigidly enforced. In other European countries the stanaard of popular education has been very matorially elevated within the period of a generation, The example of the United States has undoubtedly had a great deal to do with stimulating oducational progress and improvement abroad, and it is doubtless true that twenty-five years ago the pub- lic school systom ol this country was unequalled, axeept, pothaps, by that of Germany, Now/Phsre nreother countrie of Europe from which we mig ht learn something regarding educational meth- ods. The AmMéan peoplo aro justly proud of their fiiblic schools. They very properly 18afd thom as the bul- wark of republican institutions, to be sncredly maintalbed in their intogrity and protected agiinst every encroach- ment or innovation that might impair their character and usefulnoss. But their improvement is still possible, and it would be mostunwise to wholly disre- gard the exampliyst other countries. 1t is a mistake to assume that beciuse Bu- ropean nations have followed us in this matter they hato loarned nothing that could bo to our advantage. ARTESIAN The artesian well as a source of water supply for purposes of irrigation has commanded less attention among the farmeors of Nebraska than it has received from those of many other states, but there are nevertheless some localitios in thisstate in which the experiment has been tried with varying dogrees of suc- cess, In Cedar, Dixon, Holt and Knox coun- ties thero are numerous artesinn wells that have been put down chiefly for.the purpose of obtaining water for house- hold purposes and for stock, but it does not. appoar that they yield a sufticient supply to warrant the farmer in attempting to irrigate his fields by this means. A bulletin from the census aepartment devoted to this subject, gives the following figures for Ne- braska: Total number of wells, 91; average depth, 247 feet; average cost per well, 8173; average dischargo, 13 gallons per minute; number used in irrigation, 7; total area irrigated, 7 acres. It will beseen that tho flow of water from these wells is small. .In California, where artesian wells are extensively employed for irrigation, the average discharge is 164 gallons per minute. In Knox county, attho Santes agency, n well has been drilled to the depth of 604 feot, at acost of 81,500, and yields only six gallons per minute. At Beatrice a well has been put down 1,200 feet without success. In the vicinity of Omaha not much huas boen done in this direction, but as neorly all the wells that have been drilled near the Missouri river have been more or less succossful it is reasonablo to sup- pose that they would be'equally so here. Oneis now being driiled in Hanscom park in this city, which is expected to yield a supply sufficient for park pur- poses. But thera seems to be no cer- tainty of obtaining good water by tnis means in this locality, for there are several wells in' Otos and Nemaha counties from which salt water flows. As a means of obtaining water for irrigation the artesian well does not promise to be succepsful in Nebraska. However, 1t is not & condition of sue- cessful farming ifi thls state that thore should be facilities of any kind for irri- gution, and that'ts where the Nebraska, agriculturists have;the advantage of those who till the soilin the arid regions of the west and sbuthwest. TI0N. The fate of Grover Cleveland at Chi- cago will depend entirely upon a con- census of opinion among the delegates as 10 his ability to carry the state of New York. If a majority believe that he cannot get the electoral vote of this pivotal state he will be cast aside and will never again bo a conspicuous figuro in American politics. It is of the utmost importance to him that every possible proof of his strength in the Empire stato should bo placed bofora the delogates, and it may therefore be assumed that the arguments which his supporters are daily offering upon this subject are the strongest that they can produce. What are thesé' arguments? They may be all narrowed down to the simple statement that the demecracy of New York is united and will stand by the nominee of the party. Perfect unity thero must be if Mr. Cleveland is to carry the state,and therefore his friends perceive that unless they can prove that this indispensablo co-op- eration of every eloement is assured and wholly boyond question their case must fall to the ground. Upon what do they base their belief that the party is united in New York? Why, upon no botter ovidence than the declaration of the Hill delegates thut they will support the nominee, whoever he may be. Under ordinary ciroumstances this might bo adwiss ible evidence, but as matters stand it is not. The scathing denunciation that has been heaped upon the Hill machine and upon Tammany methods generally by the Cleveland faction, together with the fact that the latter has completely repudiated the February convention and will go into the Chicago convention with a delega- tion which it claims is the only regular one, will be sufficient to convince every man who has any knowledge whatever of Tammany that the lattor will seok revengo at the polls, Of course it would ba absurd to expect the delegates or any others who are copspicuous in the con- test to openly daclare such o purpose. Because they do rot 'say that they will put Mr, Cleveland to death if he is nom- inuted some simplo-minded supportors of the ex-president are confldent that he can carry the state. Do they forget that in 1884, with' ffany favoring oir- cumstances, he oply carried- the state by a few hundred, 'while in 1888 Presi- dent Harrison rdlle upa majority of 15,0007 It ie difficult to gae how the plain facts in the case can bumade to support the assumption that " Mp. Cleveland can carry his own sfate, BEvery thinking man knows what' those facts are, and yot thoy will doubtless be juggled out of all somblance to themselves when tho Cleveland orators got tho floor at Chicago. THE CAUNE OF DISTRUST. In his recont vory ablo spoech in the Unitod Sutes sonate against the froo coinage of silver, Sonator Sherman sild: *This very threat of the free coinage of silver, in my juagmont, is dolng wmore now to disturb the business of our coun try than anything etse. It is caused by the very possibility that we shall un dertake this more than herculean task.” Representative Harter of Ohlo, an anti- .of this freo silver democrat, said in au addro: a fow days ago that he thought the un- rest and uncertainty, the doubts and fears as to what will be done with tho standard of value in the United States, the sole influence which stands between us and the highest condition of prosper- ity and the largest measure of matorial development the country has had in n generation. The foar, said Mr, Harter, that we shall change from the gold standard toa silver ono is the direct causo of our present commercial and financial disorder. There can be no doubt about the cor- rectness of thoso views as to the offect upon enterprises of al! kindsof tho agi- tation for the froo coinage of silver. Tt will b8 admitted by all intelligent moen ongaged in financial and commercial affairs, While such men feel that there is security against such a change so long as the republican party is in control of the executive branch of the govern- mont, they cannot be certanin what might happen in the event of a change of administration with the congress in | control of the udvocates of free silver Investments cannot well bo mude sub- ject to poiitical contingencies,and there- fore capital is not seeking new enter- prisos, nor going very largely into old ones. There is undoubtedly much oxaggoration rogarding commorcial depression, but the accumulution of idle capital at the financial centersis evidence of more than ordinary con- servatism, and there is no explanation more probable than the uncer- tainty as to what will be done with the standard of value. The ramoval of this feeling of insecur- ity for the futuro can be offectively uc- complished only by re-electing a repub- lican president and choosing a republi- can congress, If this be done the coun- try will be safe from the danger of freo silver coinage for at least another four years, and with that assured it is not to be doubted that there would ensue an ora of unexampled business activity and prosperity. In the meantime, whatever new demands might ariso respecting the currency the republican party could bo safely trusted to meot with the wisdom and prudence which have characterized its treatment of all financial questioas in the past. 5 BosTON celebrated Bunker Hill day and the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Somerville with great cere- monies on Friday.

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS Mr. Balfour, the government leader, has formally anaounced that the presont pariia- ment will be dissolved between Juno 19 and 25. Theve is an unwritten law of English politics which provides that a parliament must be dissolved whenever the government has had notice served upon it, by defoat upon one of its own groat measures, that its volioy is no longer in harmony with that of a majority of the peopls, The prosent dissolu- tion is the sequence of compromise. Tho legal tenuro of the presont parliament will not oxpiro until 1503, when it would have tived out its fu'l torm of seven years, it being now among the long-lived British parha- monts, The compromise was based on the offer of the onposition to assist the govern- ment in carrying through all aocessary meas- ures of a nonpartisan character. The miu- istey have abandoned their caief biil of tho sossion, that providing local govornmont for Iroland, but has oxprossed its actermination to proceed with the next most important one, tho Irish educational Mil. This the Irish members have givon aoiico thoy will oppose, first, last and all the time. The main issue of the contest will bs whether or not Iroland shall have hor own separate par- limnent and practical independonce of Wegand. A little whilo ago there was little doubt that this ques- tion, if submitted to the peoplo of England, Sootland, Iroland and Wales, would be answored by them in the afirmative, but re- cently the Ulster folk huve protested against an fadepondont, soparate Irish government upon tho ground that they, & protestant minority, would be ruled by o Catholic ma jority. Thus, once more, the unfortunate seotarian 1ssue has arisen to divide Irelana and give material aid and comfort to her foes. Lord Salisbury has soized upon the protest of the Ulster people as a weanon azainst the home rulers and hus, by most intemperate speech, succeoded in winning a good many nonconformist voters to his side, Not only are the north and sonth of Irelaud contend- Ing angrily about this matter, it tho Par- nellites and McCarthyites are up in arms against oach other, pntting opposition candi- dates in the same fields, thus dividing their forces and giviug their opponents chances of victory. * e Grim humor lurks in Prince Bismarek's denial of the reported impending recon- ciliation bstween aimself and gthe Kmperor William. Weakog men, in his position, em bittered by the nevitable mortifications of enforced idleness ana seclusion, would have improved the occasion to veutilate his griov unces and attempt to arouse popular sympathy by plaintively lamenting other men’s mistakes. Not so the iron chancellor. In his opiuion, there can bo vo reconciliation, for two reasons—first, us ho bluntly cou- fesses, because the emperor would not take him bagk on any terms, and second, because 1o mere farcical floarish of olive branches cun everatono for the Kaiser's shabuy treat- mentof his country’s servant, Inother words, Princo Bismarck proposes to bo sued to for pardon or he will die unforgiving. Iike King Louis 1n Lytton’s play, tho youug emperor hias not discovered that tho loss of a tried ofticor embarrasses his administration. I'bis of course does not imply that the want of an experienced guido is not constantly wisible in the conduct of the state, The kaisor, to do bim justice, possesses many of tho characteristios of successful wingship, considered from Bismarck's own point of view, and in roplacing Bismarck with Caprivi he merely appliod to his own caso a practice thut had constantly been girected from the library at Friederichsruhe. Ho is as little likely as the ox-chancellor to imtiate a policy of conciliation, prefevring rather to gain wis- dom through his own mistakes, The sitan- tion I full of interest for the two chicf actors. oy Roval marriages have ceased to have much more than a sentimental imvortance in mod- ern European politics. King Curistian of Denmark has greatly improved the position of his famuly, the stability of his throne and the importance of bis kingdom by ma; ono daughter to the hoir apparent of Eng- land, and the other to the heir avparent of Russia. But the marriage of Alfonso XII, to an Austrian princoss has had no appi ciablo effect on Spanish alliances, and tho warriage of King Goorge of Greece to the sister of the emperor of Germany so littlo alterod paramount Russian in- fluence at Athens that in a few months the new queen left the communion of her fathers and joined the Greek church., Now and then a mateh like that of King Charles of Portugal to the daughter ot the count of Paris, one of the richest men of Europe, adds the rovenues of a huge dowry to the slender civil list of a bankrupt treasury. More than ono Gierman princeling 1n the last 100 years has owed his support to an English dowry.
