This Is a discovery that China ought to have made at the time hostilities commenced. The United States is, of course, inter- ested in the restoration of peace be tween China and Japan, but its time- honored policy will not permit it to join with any other power to interfere for this purpose.

Some of the newspapers are printing a list of fifty-three persons who may on a particular contingency be called to ascend the British throne.

The Bee's success In past years is the best guaranty of its- election returns this yea It is only necessary for The Bee to remind its readers that its facilities for gathering election returns arve unrivaled. In recent years The Bee's election re. turns have been standard authority in this state. While other papers published Inaccurate and incomplete reports, The Bee's tables of results have been re- liable and trustworthy. It will be so this week. The business men of Omaha will now turn their attention toward recovering the ground lost by the alleged business men's manifesto. With a strong pull and a long pull and a pull all together they may in a measure make good the damage already done.

At the hour of midnight the returns recelved Indicate the election of Judge Holcomb by a plurality of over 5,000, It may reach as high as 10,000. The majority of the republican candidates for state offices are doubtless elected, possibly all. Four of the six republican candidates for congress are certainly which will be a gain of one republican congressman. Returns are too meager for any definite assurance regarding the legislature, but it Is be- lieved to be safely republican, elected, THE REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN NEW YORK The republicans of New York yester- day won the greatest victory ever achieved by a political party in the his- tory of that state. The plurality of Levi P. Morton will not be quite as large as that of Grover Cleveland in 1882, but, giving proper consideration to the dif- ference in the circumstances then and now, the present republican triumph is far more signal and significant than was that of the democrats twelve y Mr. Cleveland's nnparalicled 1 was due to the fact that thousands of republicans did not vote protest inst the fnterference of the national Wdministration and only state issues involved, while yesterday's elec tion undoubtedly brought out the larg est vote ever polled in the state and the s involved were both national and The republican ory Is an overwheliming protest against the demo- cratic tanilf policy and is the severest rebuke that party has ever received from the voters of any one state. 1t is, however, more than this, and therefore possesses a double significance. As a repudiation of David B. Hill and the politi element of which he is the . the republican triumph is most decisive and complete, It em with tremendous force the pop: ular verdiet of last y ainst the candidate of the Hill machine and leaves the beaten leader stranded and hopeless for the future, He will con- tinue in the national senate, but the day of his leadership is gone, his presi dential chances are swept away, and he must take his place in the rank and file of the party as the follower of some other standard be: and not tainted with the political vices that ught him disaste Not less important than the election of a republican governor and the rout of the Hill machine in the Empire state is the defeat of 'l 1y and the elec- tion of the reform ticket, with a repub- lican for mayor at its head. The un- serupulous organization that has domi- nated the politics of N York City does not now for the first time ex- perience defeat, but it bas never be- fore been guite so disastrously benten as it was yesterday. On other occ sions It succeeded in saving from the wreck something worth having, but it appenrs from the facts now at hand that this time it has lost about every- thing. The whole country is to be con- gratulated upon the result, which is in the interest of good government and honest politics. The power of Tam- many has not only been most detri- mental to the city and the state of New York, but a danger to the republic, and every patriotic citizen will lope that its overthrow will be permanent. The republican party of the Empire state has covered itself with honor and glory. Its magnificent victory will thrill the hearts of republicans everywhere and exert a powerful influence to keep them in line for the greater battle two rs hence. as a wi s one OUR GREAT CERSAL I8 BUROPE. special agent of the Agricultural vtment in Kurope reports that the prejudice formerly existing against maize as food for horses and cattle is daily growing less in Germany, but 1it tle progress has been made in inducing Germans to eat corn bread. He states that. twenty-six street car companies in the e cities of Germany feed maize to their horses with satisfactory ults, many preferving it to oats. It is shown that the imports of corn into Germany last year were nearly double the amount in 1801 and he ngent says: “The searcity of for- age plants last year in Germany has compelled foeders to use maize, and since they have discovered the nourish ing and strengthening qualities of the same it is safe to assert that the con sumption will increase annually.” It is possible this will be realized, but if the demand for American corn from Europe is to amount to no more than sufficient to supply the deficiency in countries that do not produce enough fodder for the live stock we can hardly hope to ever have a market abroad for our surplus corn in large crop years. The effort made by our government for several years to promote among Furopeans the use of corn as a whole some and cheap food for human beir has not been altogether unavailing, but it must be confessed that it has fallen far short of what was hoped for. With the fact before them that the American people are large consumers of corn as bread and with the fact demonstrated to them that this cereal can be prepared in numerous palatable forms, at less cost than any other n, it was naturally supposed that the poore classes of Europe, at least, would freely adopt it as a substitute for the black and unwholesome bread that millions of them eat. But they continue to pre- fer the latter. There seemed an excel- lent opportunity last year, when the Russian » crop was short, to induce ad cousumption of corn, but sple generally could not be per- suaded to try it. . A few did, but ther is no evidence that they have continued to use it. Our exports of corn to Eu- vope for 1804 will be somewhat larger than for 1893, but as already noted the increase 1s probably due to the im- proved demand for this cereal for feed- ing to live stock. Taste and prejudice unite to prevent the use of corn by Europeans as human food. In no respect are mankind more stnbbornly inclined to follow in the line of precendent than in the things they eat, hence the great difficulty in wean- ing the peoples of Europe from their black loaf of coarse rye bread and i ducing them to substitute for it cor bread, which properly prepared is much more wholesome and palatable. or course the effort to educate Europeans to the value of corn as human food should not be abandened. Some pro- gress hns been made, which encourages the hope of further progress. But it will probably be a long time before the use of corn as bread by the people of Burope will materinlly increase the de- mand upon the product of this country. BETTER TRAIN RVIC WANTED. The business men of Omaha would probably have waited until doomsday for the Burlington rond to incrense the speed of Its mail tralns were it not forced to do so by the competition of another rond. When the Northwestern put in its new time schedule n week ago Burlington officials said that. it would have no effect upon them, that the Northwestern schedule was alto- gether too fast to be maintained, pecially in winter, that it would be time for the Burlington to consider the ques- tion of speed when ity government mail contract should expire and it should be ealled upon to bid for a new contract. Now, within two or three days they have experienced a wonderful change of leart. They announce with a flourish of trumpets that they intend voluntarily to improve the mail service and to give Omaha the benefit of a ster run be- tween Chicago and this eity. 1f they tarily, would they not have preferred to have the eredit for it, and would they have waited until forced to do it by a competing line? There is no reason whatever why the fast trains should not make the dis- tance between Omaba and Chicago in twelve hours without difficulty. last- ern raflroads have steadily pursued a policy of increasing the speed of their fast trains instead of decreasing it. They put on faster trains during the World’s fair instead of slower ones, as d the western roads. And while they have reduced slightly the speed of one or two of the very fastest trains, almost all their fast mail trains have been giving much quicker service than those in the west. While the revision of the time schedules is in progress, it should not stop until it has at le re- stored what was at the command of the public before the present demoralization of the train service was inaugurated about a year and a half back. TRIBUTE TO 1HE MERIT SYS During the last years of the fi ministration of I'resident Cleveland the railway mail service became a good deal demoralized. This was due to the ault upon the ranks of the clerks in that service for partisan purposes, by which hundreds of experienced and effi- clent men were dismissed because they were republicans and their places were given to democrats. When the adminis- tration of President IHarrison came in one of the earliest matters to which at- tention was given was the reorganiza- tion of this service. The old clerks of approved efficiency, who were able to show that the ecause of their removal was purely political, were restored and the incompetents sent advift. It was determined to improve this most important branch of the postal service by recognizing merit i promo- tions and making this an incentive to faithfulness and efficiency. The plan worked admirably and fad the effect to earry theservice to a higher degree of usefulness than it had ever before at- taine Before the close of President Harri- administration the railway mail clerks were placed in the classified sery- ice and are now under the operation of the civil service law. An unsuccessful effort was made in the last congress to invalidate this action to the extent of authorizing the postmaster general to restore to the railway mail service dem- s who had been removed by the, republican administration. Had this been done there would have been re- turn to the demoralization of 1887-88, but having failed the improvement and efficienc ined under the last repub- lican administration has been kept up. year the ay mail vice n record for efficiency, 1, as near per The report for this lows still Ligher at- id it can now be said that ice is nawhere surpassed, if cqualled. No stronger tribute to the merit system could be desived than is furnished in the contrast between the condition of the railway mail service and that at the close of the first administration of President Cleveland, wnd it affords an unanswerable arg ment in favor of that system and in support of the demand for a further ex- tenslon of civil service reform, wher- ever it can be made to apply Within a few days the president has signed orders making important exten- sions of fhe classified service to offices not hervetofore classified and revising existing classifications in branches of the service already classified, so as to bring within the classification many places heretofore excluded. These or- ders extend the civil service regulations to a greater number of employes than heretofore in the and postal ser and also bring under the regu- tions certain hitherto excepted offi- 1s in the Agricultural department. the postal service there will be M. ad- son's ainment, this ser present customs cos In { transferred from the excepted class in the classified postoffices to the nonex- cepted class probably not than 1,500 places, reducing the number of places that may hereafter be availablé to spoils hunters to not more than 700 or 800. It will thus be seen that In spite of the prejudice and hostility of a large body of politicians civil service reform is making steady pro- gress and the wisdom of the policy is being justified at every step of the ad- vance. It can only be a few years un- til it will have been extended to eve portion of the public service to which it can be applied and in time all the states will follow the federal government in adopting it. When that is accom- plished we shall not only have a better, more efficient and more economical pub- lic service, but our political systewm will be on a safer basis, because politics will be largely freed from the influences responsible for much of the evils con- nected with it. As we reduce the spoils to be fought for we lessen the in- ceutives to those practices which are the bane of American politics, The Agriculture department authori- ties suggest that while the United had any intentions of doing this volun- | THE OMAHA DAILY BE States und Germany are engaged in a policy of $éfiiliation, there is no reason why we sheuld stop half way.

Wouldn't it be a better plan to return to the old regime of good will “1t is to be noted that the decision of the Hammond company to rebuild its packing house at South Omaha so re- cently destroyed by fire was not post poned until after the election. The populist bugbear must therefore have been indignantly repudiated by the men who were supposed to have been di rectly behind it. The Hammond com- pany wants a plant in South Omaha because it is able to do business profit ably at that point. The question of a populist governor has nothing to do | with the meat packing industry. That | no time may be lost in restoring the de- | stroyed plant the work of clearing nway the debris has already begun and is to be expedited without nee to the intervening election.

The publication will embrace the entire proceedings of the national roaa conference, held at Asbury Park, N. J., July 5 and 6 last, at which conference every shade of opinion on improving roads was presented. Mr. Roy Stone, the special agent and en- gineer of the department, will also include a number of addresses on tha road question. He makes no report, so that these addresses practically constitute a report. Mr. Stone says, among other things: “The main ques- tion is, how can the people, having no sur- plus capital, build good roads? For an an- swer we must go where they have done it study the methods. First, we must study all the economies possible in construction. Second, we must find out all the parties to be benefited, and see that each | bears his proper share of the cost, whether or not he belongs to the immediate locality, or even to the present generation of men. Third, we must look into local questions of rond materials and transportation and into all the latest developments in road imple- ments and machinery. “But who is to do all this? And that brings us to the first practical step in road improvement, namely, that every state should have a permanent road commission, com- posed of citizens of the highest character, to undertake this investigation and recommend the necessary measures to the legislatures, to watch the workings of these measures when adopted, and to secure any possible improvement 'in them. The next step is to make the best use possible of convict labor in road bullding. My own Impression is that state prison eonvicts will be the best employed in the preparation of road ma- terials in quarry camps, or gravel pits, where they can be guarded and secluded as easily as in prisons, and that county prisoners and ramps should do the grading and all other preparatory work on the roads. “In regions where rock i plenty, by using the best machinery for crushing stone, and employing the convicts only in yuarrying and handling it, an amount of material couid be produced sufficient to micadimize all the roads In the state as fast as they could be prepared, and in addizion, to furnish ballast for the railroads as a considvration for their giving reduced rate on road materials, “Of their own motwa the rallroads are ready to contribute largely in this wiy toward road improvement. In ‘leir correspindence with the Department of Agriculture on the subject many have proprsed to make half rates ot haul at bare cost, wh21ver & general advance toward road improvements shall be- gin and the state commission would be in a position to make better terms with them than any privite ind <did or leca' antheriy, sand better than we could do on behaif of the gen- eral goyernment with it t or to cffer any defl ntn assistavce on rart 'n e turn.” its COLOMBIA HAS A CLAIM, Wunts Pay for Largoe Quantities of Guano Taken by Americans. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—Senor Rengifo, charge d'affaires of the Colombian legation here, is about to urge the State department to relinquish the pro- tection the United States has long given to the Jennet Guano company, es- tablished by an American named Jennet, to take the valuable guano deposits off the Colomblan ¢ The case involves inter- esting ques of territorial jurisdiction, to whi aine, when secretary of state, gave much attention. Jennet claims to have discovered the guano deposits of Roncador and Quitasuino islands in 1859, and in accordance with the United States law passed [n 1856, he set up his rights as a discoverer, and in the name of the United States took possession of the guano beds. Since then vast quantities have been gath- ered, and the work is still proceeding. The Colom )vernment, through Senor Rengifo, first protested in 159 to Mr. Blaine. The lafter's Teply has never been made publie, but It is said at the State depart- ment that Mr. Blaine maintained the rights of Jennet, saying that the two islands 3 240 ‘miles’from the coast of Colombia, and were nearer Costa Rica or Nicaragua than to Colombla. To this Senor Rengifo re- sponded with an elaborate communication showing that Colombia's rights to the lsi- ands had been recognized by Spain, the original owner, in 1810, and that the owner- ship had never since been questioned This was in 1833, since which time Senor Rengifo has received no word from the State department as to his government's contentions. ~ Colombia I8 now becoming restive over the two vears' delay, and un- official advices have been receivéd to the effect that she expects not only to protest more vigorously than herctofore, but also to file a claim for the vast amount of guano removed with the sanction of the United es. Senor Rengifo s he has not en officially advised of the claims, as the territorial rights over the islands are all that have heretofore been urged, e suys he will reassert these rights at an early day. TELEPHONES IN THE DEPARTM Proposal to Give the High-Trice Rell In- strument the Go-By. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—An interesting situation in regard to the telephones for the government is developing in the depart- ments at Washington. The question to be decided s one directly affecting the general use of instruments for governmental pur- poses. ‘The various departments require in- ter-connection and also some economical means of internal communication. It s claimed that the rates of the telephone company operated in Washington, and th well known fact that it will only’ rent and not sell apparatus, have 8o far prevented the adoption of a system in all the depart- ments that would " largely dispense with messengers and act as a lubricant to the ponderous wheeis of routine. The Interior department has taken the initiative, and it will soon be settied whether a reliable tele- phone service can be owned and operated outside of the Bell privilege. Bids have been received and opened a mosth ago, but were all rejected on account of technicali- tles, Advertisement is about to be made again under new proposals and work will be pushed to complete a sysetm connecti the Interior department and all its burea before next spring. 1f this is successful it i probable that the government will adopt the telephone largely as a valuable aid to business in all its branches, ENTS, | Another Craim Submirte WASHINGTON, sham and S nting the g | exchanged ra o Arbitration Nov. 6.—Secref nor Romero, the latter ernment of Eeuador, t ations of the Mah | « FHOSE who could not eat cake, hot biscuit," bread of Fi‘ldigcstion have and pastry because found that by rais- ing them with Royal Baking Powder they are enabled to fect comfort, eat them with per- Royal Baking Powder is composed of chemically pure cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda, and is an actual preventive of dyspepsia.

CATTLE DISEASE OF THEIR OWN, Germany Consider Not the Beam that s in Their Own Kye, WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—~While the German government is accusing our cattlemen of in- troducing Texas fever into Germany they have themselves become afllicted with another for- midable cattle disease which has broken out again among the farm animals in central Germany, notably in Voigtland and Saxe- Altenburg. This disease Is known as the flaps and foot rot and United States Consul Stephen at Annaberg, who reports the out- break to the State department, says it s the mote unfortunate for the farmers there as only two years ago the same disease de- creased the stock considerably and as the drouth of 1893 with its subsequent fodder scarcity compelled the farmers to slaughter numbers of their cattle. Though the local authorities are doing their utmost to prevent an extension of the disease, it ap- pears they have not succeeded, every issue of the official papers mention new cases. The frequent appearances of these diseases in the same locality 1s certalnly no evidence of a healthy condition of German farm animals. A LL LEAY ' VACANT, Indian Commission Doing No Good and Can Die n Nataral Death. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—When President Cleveland appointed William M. Campbell marshal of Minnesota in place of J. Adam Bede, who resigned under such pecullar cir- cumstances, it created a vacancy in the Chippewa Indian commission. Campbell was chairman of this commission, which has been operating among the Indians for many years trying to settle their affairs. Secre- tary Smith says he will not recommend fill- ing the vacancy because the work of the commission has not succeeded in accom- plishing the results for which it was ap- pointed. Campbell was in Washington at the time of his appointment as marshal, receiy- ing instructions in his duties as chairman of the Indian commission and had been in- formed by Secretary Smith that in case that results did not follow his return to Minne- sota, his commission would be abandoned The failure is not in getting the Indians to take their allotments at or near one reserva- tion. At present they are scattered over different sections of the state and do not care to secure allotted lands in places where they have not been living for a quarter of a century, leeted the Third Arbitrator. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—Weckherlin, the minister from the Netherlands, will be in- vited to become a third member of the Ven, zuelan claims commission. N. L.
