Many of the men who are committed to its support have shown a disposition to hedge. THE beautiful woodwork in the Omaha council chamber is cracking. Is it the handwriting on the wall? Can it be pos- sible that the city fathers have been fourd wantinz? If the council is not to blame for the imperfect work who is? THE day will come when there will be a freo bridge between Omaha and Coun- cil Bluffs. In that event the bottom lands across the river will be occupied by residences, mills, lumber yards, ete and the value of the land will be en- hanced ten-fold. THE newspapers are making alto- gether too much fun of Hoke Smith. The very fact that a man laboring under “the disacvantayes imposed by such a name has managed to get to the front is a sufficient proof that he deserves to succeed. Give Hoke a chanc I'r 18 needless to waste any sympathy upon Judge Gresham so far as his finan- cial condition is concerned. It has been said that he is too poor to be a cabinet officer, but it appears that he is worth at least $50,000. This is not a great for- tune, but it is sufficient to keep the wolf from the door of Mr. Cleveland’s secre- tary of state. THE governor of the state of New York is opposed to *‘charter tinkering." It would be a good thing for all of the states if the governors and legislatures were all opposed to it. The people for whose government a charter is made usually know what they want, and it is not right that logislators who have no interest whatever in a city charter should have the power to meddle with it. ALL eriticisms upon the work of John ‘W. Foster as secretary of state should be based upon an appreciative consid ation of the important duties that have fallen upon him during the past seven months. During that period a large number of events of great importance to this country have demanded his atten- tion and he has shown much wisdom and diseretion in dealing with the ques- tions presented to him. A WRITER in the North American Re- view is authority for the statement that ‘the origin of life insucance dates back to the year 1650, when Pascal first enun- ciated the ‘“‘doctrine of probabilities.” An Omaha divine, in a scholarly re sponse to a toast at the underwriters! banquet last week, traced the origin of life insurance back to the time of Nebu- chadnezzar. Here is a little discrep- ancy that ought to ba recoficiled in the interest of the old line companies. SATURDAY was the fortieth session day of the Nebraska house of represent- atives and no more new bills can be in- troduced. The senators have three more days of grace. Then the fight will be hot. The allied corporations are determined to kill off bills antag- onistic to them, and the honest men in the legislature are determined to re- deem their pledges. The outcome will be watched with great interest, for the people will measure the different parties by the work their represontatives do in the legislature, A CORRE! of THE BEE calls attention to the fact that the man who secured the government contract for the survey of the northern boundary of Ne- braska is not a civil engineer and is not qualified to perform the service. This may or may not be true.. The annals of this state reveal many such instances sud in fact cases have been rave where surveying contracts were made with men personally equipped for their perform- ance. In the recent case referred to the contractor is doubtless a good political Burveyor, ers and remittances shonld | | opportunity ANNEXATION WILL BE POSTPONED.

The senate that will | organize on March 4 will bo a | democratic body and will ba disposed to —allow a democratic president and administration to pass judgment upon the proposition to annex tervitory so remote from the United States and toassume obligations which the American people will have t5 mak» good. At this time it is not definitely known what views on this very impoe- tant question the president-elect holds xpressions of men close in his eonfi dence have warranted the inference that he is favorable to annexation, but no word has buen publiely spoken by Mr. Cleveland to indicate what his pouition is. At any rate, a demoeratic senato w undoubtedly give him the opportu nity to make his views known before taking action on the treaty. Kven if favorable to annexation the president might desire some changes in the terms of the treaty. The postponment of action will enable the country to consider move calmly and | deliberately all that involved in this ilan annexation, which | radical and perhaps a us departure from the tradi- tional policy of the nation.

The delegates from the United States will undoubtedly place their resignations at the disposal of Mr. Cleveland very soon after the inaugura- tion and it is highly probable that he will accept them. Whether or not he will appoint other delegates is a ques- tion, the answer to which will depend a great deal upon what may take place with regard to silver in its relations to the finances of the c¢ount; during the next two month: Representative McCreary of Kentucky, who recently laid before Mr. Cleveland a general history of what was dons in the conference, stated a fow days that it would be a mistake to say that Mr. Cleveland had any fixed policy about the conf He had shown a good deal of inters in tho recital of the proceedings and expressed ny sentiment unfavorable to an international mone- tary conference, but he went n> further than to say_that soon after his inaugura- tion, and when he eould spave time from more pressing matters, he would take up the subject and give it careful and eav st consideration.

That th is much t» ba hoped for from the conference dies not appear from a careful study of its proceedings. It is true that some of the American delegates have expressed a rather ehoor- ful view of the outlook from their re- 5 ive) points of observation, but it is difficult to find any ground for this in what was done by the conference. The gen- eral feeling among the members of that. body unjuestionably was that thore is urgent demand for a change from exist- ing conditions, but no one was able to formulate a plan that fairly mot the rc quirements of the situation. The E lish proposal, apart from the question as to its being practicable, would not have operated equitably to the United States, and none other suggested was any more acceptable. The fact clearly developod was that while European countries recc nize the expediency of a lavger use of silver under an international ratio none of them willing t> make any radical departure from their mone- lems in order ta ult. The German govern- ment took oceasion t) declase that it would not make any change in its mone- tary system, and it was made sufficiently apparent that the other countries were not disposed to do so. It is not to be sup) ment will b months nce, o is osed that the senti- essentially difforent three hence. Nothing has occurred since the conference adjourned to make a change and there is nothing foreshad- owed likely to produce one. England holds the key to the situation, and while there isa party there, composed princi- | all-powerful | more pally of farmers and workingmon, which is very heartily in favor of bimet allism, it has not boen ablc to make any impression upon the gov- ornment and the financial class which i« with the government. There is not the least prospect that £ land will have anything to offer in May satisfactory than her representa tives offered at the first moeting of the conference, and this being the « the futility of ansther seams ob vious, Still the incoming administra. tion may conclule that it is advisable for the United States, which proposed the eonference, to continue its efforts to ing about an international agreement until 1t shall bo indubitably shown that they can be of no avail. ARKLY WITH THE CHOLERA § of the cholera the Now York Sun says that “it is not le foolish to say that there is no danger than it is in- famous to raise any false alarm."” This is porfectly true, and che only proper way to deal with the danger is to deal with it squarely upon its mevits. In the 1 23 of this ¢ount there ap- pears to b no inclination either tH mag- nify or to balittle the qusstion, but it is 0 bo regretted that in Chicago, the cit which, of all ot most needs to take precautions against this terrible dis- thoere manlfested | to make light of | the perils which it threatens. The dan- is spoken of there as a remote ono, as if it were to be classed in the m ¢ with earthquakes, planctary collisions and similar improbable agen- cies of disaster. Bat the recent ex) ence of some of the Buropean countries in which the disease has secured a foot- hold should prove a warning to the United States in view of fthe fact that ! many thousands of speans will eome to this country this Statistics re- ported from St. Petersburg show that forty per cent. of all the cholera cases occurring in Russia for four proved fatal, and that .the prospect of extorminating the disease in that country this yc cannot be re- garded as encouragin It has been vaging in vavious parts of Russia for nearly a s and all efforts to check it have proved unavailing, though the winter weather has had the eff of | temporarily decreasing its ravages. There is every reason to believe that the will be a rencwal of the cholera seourge in those countries of Burops that woere infected last year., [t may not bz possible ty wholly excludo the disease from the United States, and therefore it bahooves every city in the land to make ample preparation to r ceive it. This country has been cholera several times. instances produced ' sossion JAL SQU. category visited by the It has in some a death rate here if not quite, cqual to that re- ported from Russia. The proportion of fatal cases to the whole number attacked by the disease must depend in great measure upon the sal onditions by which the patients are surrounded. Henco it follows that the best preventive measures known to sanitary scienco | should be adopted as a means of reduc- ing the danger to the minimum in every city and village of the land. A false sense of security is a source of danger, and may prove even more damaging to the country than a false alarm, by which all interests would suffer. All that is | needed ts that tho American people shall look the matter fairly in the face and take such action as is dictated by common prudenc A LOCAL railvoad man railway employes may precipitate a strike during the heavy passenger traflic incident to the World’s fair. This con- tingency does not worry the business men of Omaha half as much as does the disposition of the railvoads respecting World fair tickets. Omaha demands that all roads traversing Nebraska shall sell tickets at all common points west good for stop over in Omaha. Merchants and shippers throughout the west want and must be given an opporturity to stop over in Omaha und puvchase goods of | our merchants. This subject is of im- portance enough to claim the serious at- tention of the Board of Trade and the Commoreial club. These organizations can petition, coux or compel the roads to give Omaha a preference in this matter. Their duty is plain. fearful lest WHE i a state official so far for- gots himself as to descend to the role of & lobbyist in bahalf of an appropriation for a state institution or commission it can be set down that he is not fit to hold the position. When the legislature wants any particular informuation he can be cited to appear. The people send men to the legislature to do their duty and provide for all reasonable demands of state institutions, and no official is called upon to beg for an appropriation. If our representatives don't provide for the state institutions they will regret it about the time of the next nominating convention. THE impressive and interesting an- nouncement was made some time ago at Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet would be a ness men's cabinet.

There is every reason why this institu- tion should bo liberally supported and we have no doubt that the legislature will coneur in this widespread opinion. TERE appears to be some anxiety in Cuba as to what effect a change of ad- ministration may have upon the reci- procity arrangement affecting that i nd.

THE legislature can do no better vice to the state than to pass a bill will encourage farmers and gardners to plant beets. Experience has shown that sugar culture greatly enhances the value of land and is the most profitable crop in Nebraska today.
