Norman Lieber to the position of judge advo- cate general, with the vauk of brigadier general, made yacant by the retivement of Genernl Swaim, is no surprise to avmy cireles, although it is universally commended as a fitting tribute to de- serving merit. General Lieber is per- fectly qualified for the position and can not but give complete satisfaction in his new capacity The busiest man in the state just now is Colonel Ag The colonel has taken the contract to supply a chaivman for every luportant house committee and surround him with enough corporation men to block all legislation which the corporate combine desives to smother and push through all the jobs they have an interest in. It is not all child's play for Colonel Ager to earn his $3,600 a year as packer of conventions and steerer of legislatures. Who is paying Bhrenpfort for hang- ing around in the lobby of the legisla- ture? When BEhrenpfort was working at his trade as a carpenter he was con- sidered a reputable wechanie and good eitizen, but no sooner was he clected precinet assessor and made a rallroad Qeadlead than he dropped his carpenter tools to become a tool of corporate yingsters. The HKee serves notice on Ebrenpfort and all his ik that its search light has been turned on and the legislatuve will not be left in the dar eoncerning their wission to subvert good Koverument, pose in the attempt to steal the legisla- ture at this time, and to this the demo- cratic members of the Utah commission have willingly lent themselves. But there is every reason {o helieve that the scheme will be thwarted. The re- publicans of the territory arc thor- oughly aroused to the demands of the situation and they will spare no effort to defeat this cunningly devised plan to overthrow the declared will of a ma- Jjority of the voters of Utah. There can be no question that the territory is re- publican. No fairer test of the political sentiment of its people would be possi- ble than was made at the last election, when the republicans elected their can- didate for delegate to congress by 2,000 majority. A democratic congress had passed the legislation necessary to en- able the territory to become a state, so that the democracy never had a better claim to the support of the people than dt the last election, yet the party w s beaten. If honest politics prevail there will be a like result next November and Utah will come into the union under republican control and be repre- sented in the senate of the United States by republicans THE MOSQUITO TERKITORY., Secretary Gresham has sent to the senate, in response to a resolution of that body, the correspondence relative to the occurrences at Bluefields last year, in which American interests were involved, and which for a time seemed to threaten a complicated controversy between the United States, Great Britain and Nicaragua. The matter is now all settled and it appears from the letter of the secretary of state to the president, accompanying the corre- spondence, that it was never really very serious. The real question had refer- ence to the authority of Nicaragua over the Mosquito territory, a region the popu- lation of which consists principally of semi-civilized Indians and negroes, with some British and Americans who are engaged in business, It seems that neither this country nor Great Britain denied to Nicaragua the right of sov- ereignty over this tervitory, but as there was an insurrection there it became necessary for the representatives of both countries to make a demonstration for the protection of their respective cit- izens, and the British having, as usual, Dheen somewhat aggressive in doing this, it was for a time apprehended that they intended something inimical to both Nicaragua and the United States. As the result showed, however, there was no such design and no reason whatever for threatening the applica- tion of the Monroe doctrine, as was very freely done by the press of this country. Great Britain as unqualifiedly as the United States vecognized the paramount soverelgnty of Nicaragua over the entire reservation, which is now being exer- cised by an agreement with the Mo quito Indians to submit to the laws and authority of Nicaragua, they to have certain privileges in accordance with their racial customs and disposition, It may be noted in this connection as an interesting historieal fact that as far back as 1665 Great Britain claimed a protectorate over the Mosquito const, and forty years ago the question of her vight 10 this claim was one of absorbing interes The famous Clayton-Bulwer treaty of 1830 provided that neither of the parties to it was to occupy, or for- tify, or colonize, or assume, or exercise any dominion over Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito coast or Cent America, but in spite of the terms of this agreement cat Britain refused o annul her protectorate over the tery tory In which the Nicaragua canal was to begin, insisting practically that the United States had put itself iu the posi tion of renouncing all claims to any future advantages o Niearagua, while Great Brituin had yiclded nothing be- canse her rights over the Mosquito coast remained in . It will thus be secn that the question, which is at last set tled, doubtless for ull time, was long a subject of contention, clicting from time the United States, and there is reason to apprehend that at any time these may be closed for the same pretext, for such action will serve one country as well as another. If Belgium may exclude our cattle on the plea of disease may every other country. It is unncessary to say that this is a very serious matter to one of the most important interests of the United States, and how it shall be remedied is a very difficult question. The National Live Stock exchange has issued a letter eall- ing upon the stock exchanges in the west to take prompt and vigorous action in the matter, but it is not apparent what these bodies can do that will have influence or effect. They may protest 80 never so strongly against the action of these foreign governments and point out the fact that the claim that Ameri- can cattle are diseased is unfounded, but such action will hardly induce those governments to revoke their decrees. The groundlessness of the plea set up by the Belgian government can be eas- ily shown, but it is by no means proba- ble that doing this would have any effect, because the motive behind this action is unquestionably something else than to provide a safeguard against the importation of diseased cattle. It would seem that some more heroic treatment of this matter than is in- volved in protests will be necessary t order to secure a remedy. A com- mercial warfare is not to be desired. It is a condition to be put off as long as possible and to be entered into only when every other resource for the cor- rection of unfair and unjust action has failed. But Turopean countries should understand that while this country has no wish to engage in a conflict of this kind if forced to it as a last resort to protect our interests when unwarrant- ably assailed we will not shrink from it. Tossibly we would not be able to compel European countries to buy our cattle and meats, but we could exclude from the American market a very large amount of their products which our people could very well do without. This is a consideration, however, for the future. At present our government should put forth its strongest efforts to have these damaging embargoes upon our cattle and meats removed. They have already done considerable injury, nd if long maintained must prove almost calamitous to the meat-produc- ing interest of the country. NO MORE OVERLAP; The new Board of Education should start out with a fixed determination that no overlap shall be created during the coming year under any pretext, The board now has more than $200,000 to its credit and it should not incur a dollar of lability beyond the revenue which it is sure to derive from fines and licenses, the state apportionment and the tax levy for 1804. The pro- fligncy and improvidence which has characterized the management of our public schools during the t two years should be stopped at all hazards. The last board found itself in a hole almost at the beginning of the school term by veason of overlaps and had to borrow §20,000 in the banks to meet current expenses. There was really no law for borrowing this money and the treasurer had to overreach his authority in negotiating the loan. The only excuse for this illegal lo was the urgency of paying teachers' and junitors’ salaries and the desive to avold publicity of the fact that the school fund was exhausted. Such a condition can and must be forestalled. The Board of Edueation is not abov law and it has no right to create debts beyond its ired income. Its fune. tion simply is to limit the school system expenditures within the bounds set by the means at its command. Retrench- ment has become an absolute necessity and the board is expected to naugurate it without fear or favol The people of Omaba and Douglas county will wateh every move of thelr Denison Review (rep.). The course of the Towa press (on the rail- way rate question), led by the Register, has been onc of perfily and dishonor.

It understands that ppeals of the .kind, when unnecessarily made, are harmful to any state and to the repute of the community, and it gives evi- dence that there is no need of them in the case of Nebraska. “While,” says The Bee, “the offers of substantial ‘aid from abroad are appreciated, we believe Nebraska will be able to care for all who are in want and distress within her borders.” The Nebraska crops were injured by the drouth of last summer, but the supplics and the resources of the state are yet abundant, and there is no scarcity of anything that is needed. This {s the trué statement of the situation in Ne- braska, as given by The Omaha Bee. We are pléased to get the statement. 1t Is in the Interest of Nebraska. The neighbaring state of Kansas has suf- fered greatly in past times from the many accounts of famine and other calamitics there that have been sent out to the world. It was these periodical accounts that caused Kansas to be known everywhere as the “‘Ca- lamity state,” and there is not a doubt that this nickname wrought injury to Its reputa- tion, its credit, and its Interests. The whole couitry became so familiar with complaints of one kind or another from Kansas that very little heed was given to them, or could possibly be given to them. The “calamity howlers” were finally turned into a laugh- ing-stock. 2 The Omaha Bee is especlally desirous that no such injury shall be brought upon Ne- tuation, braska thraugh the spreading of reports of suffering that® does not exist, or for which relief can easily be provided. e The Situation in Nebraska. Kearney Hub. The penchant of the World-Herald for gensationallsm is giving Nebraska some ad- vertising just now to which the ate is not entitled, and s unnecessarily doing it a Ereat injury. The employment of a special Correspondent to go through the drouth- stricken portions of the state and write up the worst of all he sees and hears may be enterprising journalism, and may b> promp:- ed by the best of molives, yet there I3 no reasin to doubt that there was no real call for it, and that no good end is being sub- served by it. Already the protests are beginning to pour in from’ various portions of western Ne- braska, declaring that these statements are overwrought and injurious. No attempt is made to conceal the fact that there s des- titution, but reliable reports indicate that nearly every county is able to relieve the necessities of its own people, and as for seed for spring planting, ample provision can be made by the legislature to supply the needy before seeding time comes. The organized work of the state relief bureau can take care of the rest, But (o cap the climax of exaggeration and all the world a chance to ad, the h purveyor of news to the Assoclated s has gobbled up the most sensational portions of the World-Herald letters and nt them out to the dally papers to be dished up with *'s heads for foreign consumption, A few days ago the Hub r ceived from a Pittsburg friend coples of papers containing this lurid telegraphic Jit- erature. A St. Joseph friend also forwards @ copy of the Herald with an Omaha teie- gram headed "DYING!" and other head- lines to match, The Inter Ocean has a spe- cial telegram from Omaha worse yet, pre- dicting many deaths from cold and starva- tion as an immediate result of the sudden cold weather, miscalled “blizzard" by the idiotic telegraphic correspondent. The Hub does not believe that it is dis- posed to understate the tuation, which is certainly serious, but it do es belleve that an unnecessarily large club has been placed in the hands of the eastern press—always on the alert for such choice morsels—with which to belabar, Nebraska, and it belieyes further that county authoritles, the state legislature and private generosity will be found adequate Lo supply all need: The writer went th sh the. drouth period and gre hopper-scourge in this state dur- ing the early 1708, sawhen sensationalists of the Tibbles stripe filled the eastern press full of gruesome stories about *‘the bones of human skeletons bleaching on the prai- ries of Nebraska.' It was untrue. New paper r«-'mrln were exaggerated then as now, and great Injury was done to the state, from which il did not recover for years. We do net want a repetition twenty years later. Nebraska is not as bad off now as represented, and we will work out our own_ salvation without advertising present misfortunes from the house tops. served their language, but brought about in our time a brilliant revival of their ma‘ive literature, have as good a right as the Mag- vars claim that their local autonomy shall be protested and acclaimed by the symbolic rite of coronation and by the Institution of a soparate Parliament. His experience with Hungary should by this time have convinced the Hapsburg kaiser that he has much more to gain than lose by allowing himself to be crowned at Prague, and by constituting Bo- hemia, with its historic adjuncts of Moravia and Austrian Silesia, a separate division of his empire. Thes2 who have followed the affairs of Hungary will hope that the In- volnutary resignation of the ministry, headed by Dr. Wekerle, represents but a temporafly check to the national movement, which be- gan with the passage of the clvil marriage bill, and which aims at a complete divorce- ment of the civil power from the church. It is understood that Dr. Wekerle might have kept his place had he consen to abandon the most radical of his colleagues, but the proof of loyalty he has given can but tighten his hold upon the party of progress, which still dominates the Chamber of Deputles at Budapest. In the Cisleithan half of the Hapsburg realm the only question likely to be marked with keen interest by Americans during the coming twelvemonth is whether the wage earners of Vienna and the German speaking provinces will accept, without vio- lent remonstrance, any less close approach to universal suffrage than was proposed by ex-Premier Von Taafe, s The measures to which Emperor William and his chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, are asking the approbation of the Federal Parlia- ment of Germany will, if enacted, give the government the power of interfering in mat- ters of trade and commerce to an extent un- paralleled in any other civilized country. Ona of the bills is against “‘unfair competi- tion,” and deals in nine paragraphs with overy form of unfair competition in trade. It enacts heavy penalties for swindling ad- vertisements, abuse of trade marks, fraudu- lent purchase of goods on credit, sham clear- anca sales, and sham auctions. Puffing ad- vertisements containing inaccurate statements about the qualily, origin and Wue of gocds ars to be punished with fine and Imprison- ment, and similar penalties are to be at- tached to the betrayal of business secrets— business relations and lists of customers be- ing regarded as part and parcel of the latter, Indead, if the bill In question becomes law, the path of the shrewd and enterprising Teuton merchant will be bordered by so many pitfalls and snares as to render com- petition almost impossible, and seriously to hamper, instead of benefiting, German com- merce. o The cheerful acquiescence of the higher clergy in Hungary to the ccclesiastical reform Dills and the moderate and manifestly fcrmal protest against the measures from the vatican present the ministerial crisis at DBudapest in & new light. In view of the tacit approval of the reforms by the ecclesiastical authorities it is impossible to belicve that the religious scruples of Bmperor Francis Joseph could have been the real grcund of his loss of mplete confidence” in Dr. Wekerle's min- Istry. The crisis may be with more prob- abllity ascribed to the alliance between the late government and the demagogic national- ists in the House of Deputies, upon whose votes Dr. Wekerle was compelicd to rely in order to secure a majority. The resignation of the ministry was doubtless a mere pi of parliamentary tactics, presaging an early dissolution of the house, and the return of a solid liberal majority at the electicns, which may soon be expected to oceur, would be fol- lowed by Dr. Wekerle's resumption of (® premiership, iu full gnjoyment of the imperial cenfidence, UNNECENSARY SYMPATHY.
