Senator Hill of New York Is scheduled for an address at the county fair at Somerville, N. J., on September 13, on the edifying sub- Ject of “Agriculture.” Senator Hill will prob- ably tell his auditors that there are sev- eral subjects about which knows more than he knows about agriculture. He might refer them, for example, to Mr. Morton, the farmer secretary of agriculture in the cab- inet of his dear friend, Grover Cleveland. he It we are to take as typical the story sent out from Athens regarding the wrecking of a newspaper office and of the editor's res dence by a company of soldiers who were fncensed at some editorial criticism of the army, the attractions of the newspaper busi- ness in Greeco cannot be very great. We be- Heve, however, that the incident is excep- tlonal in Greece, as it would be in all other clvilized countries. The newspaper is too fmportant an Institution everywhere to be left without protection against assaults of this charactel — The mame of *popgun bills” applied by ex-Speaker Reed to the tarilf appendages passed by the house to place coal, iron, sugar and barbed wire on the- free list has proved wbout as felicitous as any such fzation could be. The popguns were popped in the house, but they got out of order be- foro the other end of the capitol was reached, and they have failed to work ever since. They lie in the senate perfeetly because they were but one character- harmless, originally supplied with of ammunition, They are 100 transparent even to hoodwink the most casual observer. As a political ruse they round are a signal failure. Omaha will demand much important leg- islation at the hands of the next session of Nebrasks law-makers. These demands should be formulated without delay so that candidates for the legislature may be pledged in support thereof. 1In no other way can our people get what they want. If the matter be permitted to drift along until after the nominating conventions and election nothing tangible can or will be accomplished. A candidate will listen to suggestions and make pledges before election, but it not compelled to commit himself before election he suddenly expands into a self-made states- man, upon whose shoulders the dead welght of state government rests. He repudiates the idea that he was elected as a servant of the people and stralghtway assumes their mastery. The voters of Douglas county must select men for the legislature this year capable and honest enough to protect end promote the public lnterest. THREATS THAT HURT.

The outlook for the adoption of the woman sufirage amendment to the Kansas state constitution, admitted by all to be quite bright a few months ago, is now by no means so clear, and the probable vote for and against the proposition with its best is at present doubt even friends. The change in senti- ment, 5o far as we have baen able to gather from the latest and most trustworthy re- ports, is due almost entirely to quarrels among the woman suffragist agitators them- selves. Ingtead of belng united by a com- mon purpose and makiug that take preced- ence of all minor issues, the women pulling apart and against one an- other, while their conduct has been altenat- ing many who were at first inclined to view the amendment with favor. The quarrels turn upon two distinct points, both of which trace their origin to the same source, namely, the bargain by which the populist convention induced to make woman suffrage one of the planks In Its platform. The republican state convention had previously refused to endorse the amendinent, and so when the populists ac- ceded to the women's request we had the very spectacular performance of Susan B Anthony and Anna Shaw pioning populist badges on their breasts and promlising to espouse the populist cause equally with their own. Mrs. Johns, the of the State Suftrage association, enthuslastic re- publican, and has been conducting her cam- paign independent of the populists. This has been viewed by the immigrant women as a breach of the pledge to the populis's, and Rev. Anna Shaw has intimated to her friends that Mrs. Johns was a traitor, & Benedict Arnold, a Judas Iscariot, and that the fact that she was at the head of the suffrage movement, with the management in her hands, promised poorly for its success. The other eastern women who invaded the state a few months ago with a heraldry of trumpets and nolsy announcements have in the meanwhile quietly made their exit, leav- ing the work to be prosecuted by the women whom they are accusing of being traitors. rhe other bone of contention is the ques- tion of finances, always so important to the eye of the professional woman suffrage agitators, Before the campaign opened there s vague talk of flooding the whole state of Kansas with money raised from the de votees of the movement all over the United To be s the promises of contri i from the National association extremely indefinite, but they were promises nevertheless, and its representatives spoke loftily of $30,000 at least, and sometimes put the estimate of their contribution at $50,000, as more commensurate with the importance of the fight to be made in Kansas. It intimated that these sums had been pledged and only remained to be collected to be avallable. About $1,000, it is sald, was sent out by the National association some time ago and consumed In the preliminary expenses. As much If not more was col- lected right at home by the Kansas women. but when this was exhausted and a request made that promised eastern money would come in handily the answer received was that the National association would be able to expend its own funds, and Miss Shaw declared that as long as Mrs Johns remained in charge of the Kansas campalgn that state need expect no financial assistance from other quarters These and the fact that woman suffragi have associated them- with the populists have caused a revulsion of feeling among men of the two older parties. The latter are inclined to say that since the amendment ade a partisan the party endorsed can carry It if it can. time have been leader is an were was even more of the quarrels the s solves has been that At the issue it same declared | | many of the populists a*c becoming dlsgusted with the anties of the professional agitators.

We give them the uable boon they have been secking for without requiring a single concession on their part. Almost since the termination ot the reciprocity treaty of 1854, by which the natural products of each country admitted to the other free of duty, the gov- of Canada has been seeking to ne- treaty of practically the same nature, The overtures that end were unav:iling, b arrangement of 1854 having been one-sided in its benefits the republican party refused to re- new it or to enter any reciprocity greement that did some eonces- slon American manufactures. The new tarift law practically the Canadians what they wished nothing what- ever from them. The Canadian tarif a nst our manufactured goods, in part prohibitive, remains, and according to the declaration of at the time of the last re- months ago there is no inten- it in the direction of lower it be deemed necessary to increase duties in order to more surely ex- clude American manufactured goods and bet- ter protect Canadian manufacturers this will undoubtedly be done. It is unquestionably a great service the demoeratic party has done Canada in the tariff law and the Canadians heartily appre it. The utterances of the public men and the press of the Dominion abun- dantly attest this. Under the favor extended by our mew tariff to our northern neighbors it is reasonably to be expected that their agricultural interests, long depressed, will prosper and grow, while their well protected manufacturing industries will not only thrive as never before from a growliug home market for their products, but will probably be able to find a considerable sale for their goods in competition with American facturers in the markets of the United States. Of course whatever benefits the Can- adians obtain under the new law must be at the expense of the American producers. To whatever extent Canadian competition is able to share in the American market will reduce by so much the demand for our own products in the home markets. There is no es- cape from these propositions. What do the producers of the northwest think of a policy that thus proposes to build up competitors at their expense? law does. state was as salt B while oping products, br beans alor have b is to to farmers this de- by peo- the val- ars when own il as economy ple. this advantage turn from were, ernment gotlate another to ause the wholly into not make to gives nd we get the government vision a few tion to chznge duties. Should new fate in THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR. The reopening of the school year and the return of the children to their teachers and books is an event whose importance is not to be underestimated. Few people among us, unfortunately, have any adequate ldea of the magnitude of our public school system and of the responsibilities which rest upon those who are engaged In prosescuting school work. With over 300 teachers instructing more than 15,000 pupils at an annual expense to the taxpayers of over $400,000, the public school system assumes the position of one of the largest and most important institu- tions In every respect of which Omaha can boast. Its conduct upon the most economical basis and the maintenance of its efficiency at the highest possible point are at omce of vital Interest to every citizen in the com- munity. The exact effect of the past year of indus- trial depression upon the attendance in the public schools will be watched with much concern. There is but one period of child- hood and each child is entitled to the best training that the public can afford to give it It will be nothing short of a public misfor- tune if any number of children should be deprived of an ordinary education by the stress of hard times forcing thelr parents either to keep them at home or to sead them to work in order to contribute a small share to the support of the family. No child ought to be kept out of school because of insuffi- clent or unpresentable clothing and every of this kind, if promptly reported, will ive immediate attention. The falling oft school attendance, if any, is - rec in nore natur- ally to be expected in the higher grades than the lower, because, after all, for children un- able to take care of themselves school is the best, place to keep them. At the same time it is argued by many that the tendency to which we have referred will in a large de- gree be counteracted by the lack of openings for boys and girls applying for places and that many who have been regular attendants at school as well as others who have been out for a year or 5o will return for the rea- son that they can find no tucrative employ- ment. By devoting the time to the comple- tion of an unfinished education they will be making a virtue of necessity. A just pride in our public schools has al- ways been a characteristic of the people of Omaha. The Improvement of the school system is always & subject of interest to the local public and every reasonable sacrifice for the maictenance of a high standard is cheer- tully made. In return for this every one connected with the work of the schools, from members of the Board of Education down to teachers and jauitors, are expected to do Iy | manu- | | ot their best ln'}«ne generation that is growing | up to manhood and womanhood.

This_may be so, and it may not be. But in the truth of history It Is perhaps well that the people be made acquainted with the whole facts. The News' observation is confined princi- ally to Lancaster county, and it deles successful contradiction of the fact that the Lancaster county delegation was selected Wholly in the interests of Tom Majors, anc that the finishing touches to it were put on at a conferen held the night before its being promulgated #t the house of J.

Indianapolis Journal: Word comes from Nebraska that the beet sugar industry, which sprung up under the protection of the McKinley bounty, and which promised so much, will be ruined by the Sugar trust law. ‘The McKinley policy was that under which the beet sugar industry in France and Germany has assumed immense pro- pertions. Minneapolis Journal: The beet sugar re- ficers in Nebraska and the sugar beet growers are hit hard by the repeal of the sugar bounty. Oxnard had bullt three re- fireries In Nebraska and was going to bulld more, but the democrats thought the coun- try ought to buy its sugar abroad, so the sugar bounty was repealed and the Ne- braska farmers are knocked out of a profit- able and growing diversification of farm- ing, while the refiners, who bought the beets, are seriously crippled by the per- fidious repeal of an act which was to run until 1904, If they remain in business they will have to pay $3 or $4 per ton for beets, instead of $5. as heretofore, The democrats are exulting over the check o a great In- dustry Kansas City Times: The beet sugar man- ufacturers of Nebraska have made the new tariff the occasion for a wall that is quit characteristic of their kind. They depre cate the new bill not because it will work them an injury. Oh, no, they are too benevolent for that. It is the farmers alone who will suffer, and, not to postpone the suffering, they at once propose to reduc the price of beets from $5 to $4. Disre- garding the evident truth that with the increased acreage and better knowledge of boet culture the farmers might make a profit, even at the lower price, as well as the fact that the sugar schedule in th new bill is by no means detrimental to that industry, the dishonest and contemptible trickery of these men is at once apparent.
