The room is on the ground floor of The Bee building and 1s reached by the west entrance on Farnam street. It will be filled with chairs, writing tablos and other conveniences. There will be a visitors' register in “which Fuests will be expected to inscribe their names.

Today brings to a close the greatest and most successful state fair ever held In Nebraska and the most brilliant series of public entertainments ever given In Omaha. Never before has | there been sueh an attendanee at a fair in this state and never before were the people so well repaid, In the extent, varety and excellence of the attrac: tions, for their outlay. Omaha has re- deemed every promise made when she asked for the fair and we confidently believe that every can- did person who has visited the city in the last five days will cordially concede this. In the one mat- ter of facilities for reaching the fair grounds thero was reason, perhaps, for complaint, but an excuse may be found for this In the fact that the num- ber of visitors was very much greater than had been expected. Experience is essential in a matter of this kind and having had it there will undoubtedly be provided next year ample transpor- tation facilities. ‘T’ was wanting on the fair grounds, also, some things necessary to the convenience and com- fort of visitors which will be supplied next year, but the absence of these can be pardoned when it is remembered how extensive was the work of prepa- ration and bhow much was accom plished in the period of a few months. The most serious drawback so far g the comfort and eujoyment of the peo- ple was concerned has been the exces- sively hot weather, but this has not been peculiar to Omaha. We believe that every intelligent man or woman who visited the r has learned to have greater confidence in the capabilities and the possibilities of Nebraska, and greater pride in the metropolis of the state. The splendid exhibition of Nebraska's agricultural products, live stock, fruits and dairy produets was a conclusive answer to all who may doubt the capabilities of this state and completely refuted all assertions derogatory to the claim t Nebraska is in the frout rank of cultural commonwenlths. It is safe to say that no state ever made a finer agricultural exhibit either as to quantity or_quality. No one can despair of the future of Nebraska who visited the fair and intelligently inspected all that was to be seen there and it ought to be an inspiration not ouly to greater confidence, but a'so to inc ed zeal in the upbuilding of the state. It is due to the visitors to say that hours: The press room on the ground floor of The Hee building and opening upon the west side of the court will be open to the public between the hours of 3:30 and 4:30 each afternoon. The composing room, on the sixth floor, entered through ‘room €00, wil be open to the public each afterncon from 4:00 to 5. No one who visits the state fair should go away without seeing the finest ‘newspaper plant in the country. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. TO STATE FAIR VISITORS The acting governor of Nebraska to- day is a republican, but his name is not Tom Majors. The surest way to keep the gold re- serve above the minimum legal limit— see that the receipts of the federal gov- ernment are equal to if not greater than its expenditures. —_— If temporizing by means of promises never fulfilled and never intended to be fulfilled constitutes diplomacy, the sultan of Turkey must be the most ac- complished diplomat of all Europe. One Chaffee views with alarm the new advantage gained by Broatch. The supreme court gave him a chance to trade his way into the city conven- tion. As between Chaffee and Broatel, we are for Windy Gibson. The dervishes may have sent word to friends in Burt county that Judge Hopewell must be turned down, but when election day arrives they will need his name on their ticket far more than he needs a nomination at their hands. It now looks as if the Corbett-Fitz- simmons fistic carnival will consist of two fights—one between the principals in the prize ring and the other hetween the railronds who want to undessell they conducted themselves in a way to merit all praise. With thousands of people on the streets day and night there has been no disorder, everybody showing a disposition to be courteous and agreeable. It has indeed been an eventful and memorable week, in every respect creditable to Nebraska and to the enterprise and public spirit of Omaha, and there can be no doubt that it will have most beneficial results for the state and c THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA. Senator Call of Florida nounced that immedintely on the sembling of congress he will, by bill or resolution, bring up the question of according belligerent rights to Cuba, and immediately start debate thereon. It is expected that this will open up discussion of the Droader subject of this country's foreign polic; It has been recently reported from Washing- ton that the administration was se- riously considering whether the time had not arrived for this conntry to at least intervene in Cuban affairs, with a view to ending the conflict there and securing for Cuba satisfactory cone sions from Spain. It has been said that Secretary Olney is strongly in fa- vor of such a course and that the presi- dent does not regard it with disfavor. Whether there is any substantial ground for these reports is not known. Both the president and secretary of state have been abscnt from the seat of gov- ernment for weeks, the latter having returned to his post of duty only a few days ago, and it is unlikely that either of them has said anything on this sub- ject. Not since the insurrection in Cuba was inaugurated has there been an expression from any member of the administration to indicate what its sentiments are, but it is to be preswimed one another with excursion tickets to the scene of action. ' So many friends and supporters of the new police board have denounced its members for the indecent haste dis- played in dismissals and reinstate- ments that members of the board are placed on the defensive even in the &ouse of their friends. —_— The Mora claimants now want inter- @ on the account which Spain has just agreed to compromise. The advice of ® disinterested outsider would be, Take &l that is offered now and haggle about the remainder later. Quibbling at this time may give Spain an opportunity to change its mind. —_— The city comptrolier of Chicago fs being accused of incompetency because he is said to have submitted an imper- fect and unsatisfactory statement of the city's financial condition. Wonder what Chicago would do if it hed a comp- troller like that of Omaha, by whose neglect of duty a treasury defaleation of $35,000 remained weeks and months undiscovered! Minister Ransom is sald to regard the discovery of the illegality of his fyopointment and his subsequent reap- pointment as minister to Mexico as a huge joke. It may perhaps be a huge joke, but it is also one of the most flagrant and undisguised violations of the constitution by the president that has occurred since the formation of the federal government. —_— Private advices from the Sandwich islands say that the cholera scare there is worse among the natives because they think that the doctors who are ad- minfStering to them are trying to kill them. Perbaps the natives are not so wide of the mark as some of the white lnhabitants of the islands would have us believe. The doctors must be sorely tempted to try experiments upon chol- ‘era victims., that the president and his cabinet, in common with the great majority of the American people, sympathize with the insurgent cause and would be glad to see Cuba freed from Spanish domi- nation. However this may be, the ad- ministration has faithfully endeavored to enforce the neutrality laws, rencwed evidence of which is given in the di- rections just sent to the federal officials in Florida and the commanders of revenue cutters on the Florida coast to use every means to arrest and bring to punishment offenders against the new trality laws. That there is a growing sentiment in the United States favorable to grant- ing belligerent rights to the Cuban in- surgents is hardly to be doubted. The history of the oppression and the abuses to which the Cuban people have been subjected by Spain, the fll-treat- ment of Ameriean citizens in Cuba by the Spanish authorities, the indifference of the Spanish government to American claims, and the heroie struggle the in- surgents are making to throw off despotic rule, all appeals with over- whelming foree to American sympathy. But while practically Americans want to see Cub: pain, the more thoughtful and conservative will hesitate when it comes to a ques- tlon of interference on the part of this government with a view to bringing about that result. They feel that such a course would be regarded by the world as being prompted by a selfish design on our part, rather than by the desire to promote the extension of re- publican institutions in this heml- sphere. For half a century or more an element of the American people has urged that Cuba ought to be a part of the United States and there are now many advocates of this. Any action on the part of our goverpment, there- fore, giving aid and comfort to the in- surgents would undoubtedly be re- garded by Kuropean natlons as hay- fug in view the ultimate incorporation of Cuba as a part of the United States. This is & consideration about which we need Dot perbaps, serlously concern all independent of ourselves, but it is a position which it s not desirable this country should be placed in. Undoubtedly this subject will have prominence in the attentlon of the next congress. There is being mani- fested by men prominent in both par- ties a disposition to make the foreign policy of the nation an issue before the people and it Is quite possible that the Cuban insurrection will be made to serve the purpose of bringing forward this issue for use in the next national eampaign, A MONUMENTAL FRAUD. The Omaha Union Depot company has registered a formal protest against the ratification of the contract nego- tiated between the Union Pacific Rail- way company and the Omaha Terminal company for the joint occupancy of the projected metropolitan passenger depot at Ninth and am- streets. The remonstr filed with Master of Chancery Cornish is a tissue of false- hoods ingeniously interwoven with a few facts. The company claims to have expended over half a million dollars in the purchase of land and construc- tion of the structu which has been aptly styled by President §. L. IL Clark an architectural abortion. The remonstrance further alleges that the half million expended by the Union Depot company was contributed in equal parts by the Union Pacific and Burlington railroads, and very blandly adds that there is no reason in law or equ why the depot commenced at Tenth and Mason streets should not be pushed to completion aceording to the original agreements and plans. This is decidedly cool, even in a blood- heat temperature. It takes the sub- limest of cheek for the Union Depot company, which was a swindle upon the creditors of the Union Pacific and an imposture upon the eitizens of Omaha and the public gene from its inception, to assert at this late day that there is no r on in law or equity why the Mason street depot should not be pushed to completion according to the original agreements and plans. What hindered the completion of the depot except the knavery of the Union Depot company, which altered the original plans and violated the agreements under which it had sought to acquire a quit claim title to the depot grounds donated by the city of Omaha to the Union Pacific Railroad company ? Ir it is true that $500,000 has been expended for the purchase of land and construction of the foundation and b t, what part of this money w paid out for land, and what part for construction? If any money was paid out for land to the Union Pacific and Burlington roads the money merely passed from one pocket into the other. Into whose pocket, the managers' t comprised the Union Depot syndicate or the railroad companies'? What right had the Union Pacific to sell that land when the conditions under which it was acquired expressly make such transfer illegal? Was not the scheme to lense and sell its depot grounds to & private corporation a conspiracy against the creditors of the Union Pacific and the government of the United States, who, by rights, should have as much a lien upon this property for their s curity as they have upon the main lir of the road and every depot on that line? Is mot the conversion of this property manifest proof of a fraudu- lent intent strip the Union Pacific of everything that n be gotten out from under the mortgage? IProm the staud- point of the United States government as principal and supervising creditor the diversion of the Union Pacitic depot grounds must be void in law be- cause fraudulent, and parties to that contract have no right to intervene or remonstrate against a contract that would leave the Union Pacific in pos- session and ownership of its Omaha depot grounds, valued at more than $2,000,000. This point may not be vaised in the contention between the parties to the depot controversy, but Master of Chancery Cornish, as repre- sentative of the federal government, is in duty bound to take note of it. It is not true that §500,000, nor half that sum, has been honestly expended by the fraudulent Union Depot com- pany, even counting in the cost of the Tenth street viaduct, which under the law the Union Pacific and Burlington railroads were obligated to construct at their own expense. The cost of that viaduet, including the approaches, did not exceed $150,000, while the abbre ated abortion of a depot has not so far cost over $60,000. The uepot com- has exacted as rental from the Milwaukee, Rock Island, Northwestern, Burlington and Union Pacitic for the use of the roofless station and the immi- grant sheds that serve as a depot 6 per cent on §600,000, or $36,000 a year.s| That rental in four years has amounted to $144,000. Who has pocketed this rental? Will the Union Depot com- pany disgorge this unearned money and turn it over to the creditors of the Union Pacitic, to whom it belongs? Is it not about time to call a halt upon this monuuental fraud? On the main point the remonstrance of the Union Depot company answers itself. If it is true that there is no reason in law or equity why its depot should not be completed, why doesn't it complete it? The London Standard takes a favor- able view of the future of business in the United States, but seems appre- hensive that the country may revert to a high tariff and thereby “suffer a more serfous defeat in its effort to con- trol the world’s food and cotton sup- plies than it has ever done.” In view of the fact that with our present tariff we are having the worst experience in the matter of exports for many years, while we are importing more largely than almost ever before, practical Americans will not be likely to give much weight to the suggestion of the British journal. The free trade theory is that in order to sell a country must buy, but it has not been verified by our experience, either present or past. Our imports during the first year of the present tanff were greater by some $00,000,000 than for the preceding year, while our exports were less by a larger dwmount. This 18 not a very encourag- Ing record for those who prate about the United States getting control of the world’'s food and cotton supplies by means of & low tariff. The Standard, of course, looks at the matter solely from the point of view of British in- terests, It the first ygminations cortified to the secretar# ® of state are the ones that are to go on the ballot with fhe party designation the regular demodrats still have a chance to avold the “By petition” horror, not withstanding the fact that the adminis- tration erowd have gotten their names filed as democratic nominees. The re publican state couvention has not yet assembled. Let the regular democrats hurry up and send in their ticket cor- tified as republican nominces. If the secretary of state cannot exercise judg ment in aceepting certificates as of- fered, it Will be possible to crowd any and every political party out of its right to have the party designation appended to the names of the candidates on the offic ballot. The Mortonian democrats have stolen another mareh upon the sil verites and certified to the secr ¥ loney as ular democratic of state the name of T, J. N the nominee of he r conyention. It can be put down as certainty that the ticket of the admin- istration democrats will be placed on the official ballots. Mr. J.

It must be determined in the next con- gress whether the Southern Pacific Railroad company is greater than the government of the United Statesi’’In this impending con- test the governmént’will have the aid of the Union Pacific, for it Is really tho interested party. e b It will be remembered that the Union Pa- cific road was bullt from Omaba to-Ogden and the Centraj Pagific from San Franciwce to Ogden, each’'by 'separate companies, but the two constitiini the subsidized overland lines.

It is evidently the policy of the Southern Pacific by reducing service on the Central to drive freight and passengers to the lne owned exclusively by themselves and which extends across the continent from San Francisco to New Orleans. Against this policy the Union Paeific very naturally and very properly protests, and it is the duty of the government to heed its protest and bring the Southern Pacific man- agement to time. The Southern Pacific mag- nates have no right to ruin the Central Pa- cific, no right to ruin the Union Pacific. In view of the practical bankruptey of the com- pany, the government should promptly seize the line, and run it or bave It run as a con- nection for the Unlon Pacific as it was in- tended to be.
