In all other features the promise is that the fair will be fully up to the highest standard of the past, and in some respects will show an advance.

It is unfortunately true that a great many people in Nebraska are not so well prepared now as in former years (o visit the state fair, but there is a very large number who can do s0, and every citizen ought to regard it as a matter of duty, it the time and means are at his com- mand, to patronize this exhibiticn of the resources of his state.

Labor leaders point to the syste in vogue in the operating and constructio departments of the great rallways and argue that results quite as satisfactory might be secured by the provided that heads horest men, having taxpayers at heart. The contention of labor organizations on this subject bas, of course, met with decided oppesition.

It was hoped that this congress would formulate lefinite pl be sented to congress and the country—one upon which rn sentiment would practi- cally unanimous and in support of which western influence could be exerted—but this hope is nct realized. It cannot be said that the Denver congri has really made any substantial advance toward solution ot the great problem, and not to Lave done so will be regarded by many as in fact a set- back for the cause. The resolutions adopted favor the repeal of the desert land law, the appointment of a national frrigation commission to supervise tion works that may be constructed by the federal government and to investigate and report regarding interstate streams, the application of the Carcy law to the terri- terles, an appropriation by the general gov- ernment for carrying on the work of dis- covering waters applicable o the reclamation of the arid lands, and for the release to the states and territories of reservoir sites here- tofore reserved by the givernment. It was also resolved that the president at once take steps looking to the appointment of interna tional commissioners for the purpose of de- termining questions arising between the United States, Canada and Mexico welating to the waters partly in each of the countries, with a view to an arrangement for the equit- able division and use of such waters. Other matters having an important bearing on' the general subject were referred back to the several state irrigation commissions, to be reported on at the next congress. There is in all this no very emc-uraging promise of the advancement of the cause of It is not apparent that the Den- ver congress has taken amy important ward step, and it bas certainly not demon- strated that there is the unanimity of west- crn sentiment on this subject that is nece sary in order to accomplish anything sub- stantial in bebalf of irrigaticn. It ought to be realized that it will be | sible to over- come ea to any scheme of irrigation involving national aid so long as the west is not united. There is a strong feeling In the east that there is mo hurry about reclaiming the arid lands and that it is not in the interest of that section of the country that the work of reclamation should be pushed at this time. The Philadelphia Inquirer undoubtedly voiced a widespread sentiment when it recently said: “Should the congressmen from the east and south vote in favor of extending naticnal aid to the west when there are so millions of acres of land along the Atlantic coast open to settlement and to be had for such low prices? The irrigation of western lands now unproductive by the government will mean more competition for eastern farmers. The hope of the eastern farmer has been that the home market would catch up with the coun- try products and that the supply of western lands to be had for little or nothing would become exhausted. This hope will be de- ferred It vast areas of arid land are made prod ive by national irrigation.” It does not amount to anything to regard this as a selfish and an unpatriotic view of the ques- tion. It exists and it cannot be ignored. It can be the west is united on a wise and practicable policy. The Denver congress shows that such is not now the case. is as cause a n to pre- wes be trrigation. for- 1po: tern opposition Vo many overcome only when This competition for the championship of the deadbeats Is becoming decidedly mo- notonous, to use nger term.

There was certainly no evidence of partiality in the ex- amination of witnesses by Mr. Wright and his assoclate missioners, and there is no reason to expect any impartiality in their report, and yet it would have been better not to teavel as Mr. Pullman’s guest. But Carroll D. Wright is a thrifty person. He is probably the highest paid civil officer, except the president, in the service of the United States.

The Bee plainly stated before the state convention met that it could not support Majors governor. We are of the opinfon that the republicanism that is found in the makeup of the class of republi cans who are now eo ardently plying their pen to an article that censures R er for not supporting a man whom he thought w not a fit subject to bestow such honors up are showing the ind of material they made of, and you don't have to hunt for it in the dark with a lantern to detect it What man, with the least particle of honor and the confidence of hundreds of voters at his command, would stand out boldly before the people of this great state and advocate the election of a man whom he could not consclentiously support himself; and this the cause of all the uproar among the quill pushers, Oh! for shame, and such republi canism. Better step out, gentlemen, and no longer Aisgrace the party with your presence Fremont Leader: Tt is well known that Edward Rosewater of The Omaha Bee, who is head and ilders above any republi can_editor in the state, upon the nomination of Tom Majors sent in his resignation as national republican central committeeman for Nebraska. That convention of railroad cappers and strikers, each with his pockets filled with railroad pas howled and gnashed their teeth in the frenzy, and abus without stint was poured upon the head of the only fearless republican editor of the state. For years he has insisted that hon able and honest men be elccted as mem bers to the state legislature; that the rail roads should not consort with the boodlers at the state capital and conuive at robberies of the statc; that the affairs of the several state institutions should be conducted on business principles and that men of the Mosher _stripe should be relegated to the rear. The convention was largely composed of either boodlers and their sympathizers, in addition to being railroad strikers, and the protest of Rosewater was in the nature of 4 rebuke to thelr nefarious transactions Hence the howling and demunciation water had stepped on the thieving corns of a large numbcr in that convention, which cansed pandemonium to break loose. It might be well in this connection to notice the man that was selected to succeed Rose water. Who is he? He is a representative republican of the class that is in power today the general attorney of one of the greatest rairoad companies of the country, and tied to every railroad interest, and the vote of that convention electing him was unanimous.
