The State department may be inter- ested in the statements made by Captain Watson of the Cuban army, who got his commission in Tampa, Fla., and took ‘with him a few trained soldiers who Lad seenr service under Unele Sam. It is reasonable to believe that hundreds of Americans have enlisted under the Cu- ban flag. The next notable gathering in Omaha will be the national couvention of the P. B.

Owaba is highly honored by the members of this society and will see to it that they ave hospitably entertained. The letter from Captain Bdwin €. ‘Watson of the Cuban army published in The Bee was the most satisfactory re- port from the seat of war that has yet beeen published. It evidently did not pass the censorship of Spanish officials. Captain Watson might make a fortune by giving some attention to preparing authentic reports of the actual condition of affairs in the embattled isle, Suit has just been brought in the fed- eral court for the purpose of testing the enactment which prohibited the Ban- nocks from taking game in violation of state game laws. It was a dispute over this question that precipitated the mas- sacre of the defenseless Bannocks and brought out the regular troops to pro- vent an Indian outbreak supposed to have been imminent. Had these legal procecdings been had when the cause of actlon first arose all this trouble and expense might have been spaved. Still it Is better late thaun never.

Arficnians as loeal needs sther with curity againgt the Circassians and the Kurds, the powers to be informed from Hne (o time of the measures taken for carrying out these objects and to watch over their application. Religious libert wias to be maiutained and given the widest sphere and differences of veligion were not to be held in any part of the Ottoman empive as a motive of exclusion or unfitness in anything rvelating to the use of civil and political rights, admis sion to public office, dutivs and honors, and the exercise of all professions and industries. It was stipulated that all should be admitted, without distinetion of religion, to give evidence before the tribunals, the excr and external practice of all religions should be en- tively free, and no impediment should be offered either to the hierarchical or- ganization of the different communions or to their spiritual chiefs. These stipu- lations Turkey has persistently violated and it is to compel her to respect them that the Buropean powers which signed the treaty Berlin are now active and aggressive steps. The London correspondent of a New York paper, generally well informed as to what is taking place in British official cireles, the possibility that within a week the British government may make a distinetly hostile demon- stration against Turkey, and how improbable such an event m: at first glance the indications certainly point to it. Unquestionably there is a ¥ strong popular sentiment in Great Britain that would approve such a move and the only question is as to whether it would have the support of France and Russia. Manifestly, however, the sitnation is portentous and all depends upon the cou which the Turkish gov- ernment may decide to take. ze which fmposes 6 of taking TELL THE TRUTH. Wo regret the resignation of Superintendent Marble. During his short stay in our city he lias made himself felt in all lines of school work. He takes with him the respect and esteem of all with whom le came in con- tact.—High School Register, This is very complimentary to ex- Superintendent Marble and very un- aplimentary to the members of the foard of Edueation who have com- pelled him to make his stay at the head of the Omaha public school system so short. But when did Superintendent Marble vesign? The editor of the Regis seems to be the only one who has discov- ered traces of a resignation. Ix-Super- intendent Marble was ousted from his position by order of the star chamber dark-lantern brigade that controls the patronage of the schools of this city in the interest of the political ambitions of the president of the board and to furiher the policy of sectavian proserip- tion pursned by that body. Why not tell the truth? No school paper should be so afraid of losing the avor of the school board as to attempt to cover up the board’s wmisdeeds by fabricatimg pure fiction, I FOR STATE BANK ISSUBS. The democerats of Massachusetts, like he party in New York, while opposing the free coinage of silver, ave in favor of allowing the state banks to issue currency. The platform of the former declares that the untaxed notes of state or national banks shall be the only credit currency, and that the govern- ment shall, with the development of a banking system adequate to the de- mands of trade, retire as rapidly as pos- sible all United States paper money. It recommends that the administration formulate and present to the next con- gress a measure calculated to secure these results. It is to be noted that there is nothing said about govern- mental supervision of state banks, from which it is fairly to be assumed that the democrats of Massuchusetts are prepared to permit such banks to lssue currency without any restriction other than the states may provide, a policy ithat would allow as many varieties of paper currency as therve are states, with all sorts of seceurity behind it. This is a step backwael eastern democrats in the last ¢ Laving with practical unanimity antagonized the proposal to nneonditionally repeal the tax on state | bank issues and insisted that if llh-i tax were repenled it should be upon condition that state banks issuing cur- rency must be subject to the super- vision of the general government. It was this divergence that prevented the rvepeal of the tax by the last congress and it would seem that now the eastern democrats are prepared to join with those of the south for unconditional stote bank issues. What recommendation the administra- tion will make on this subject is uncer- tain, but it appears to be fully under- | | | | stood that it will urge legislation for the retivement of all Uulted States |to take the place of the le | there is, fortunate | stop | BEdward paper money. Both the preside the seeretary of the treasury o pected to submit a earvefully prepared argument in favor of the withdrawal of the greenbacks, and as to do this would necessitate a national contraction of the ney, unless some other form of paper money should be provided for 1 tender notes, to be presumed that state nk will be adv ted. This, then, according to the indications, is to be the question in connection with the currency in the immediate futu With ropublican honse of representatives no immediate dan- ger of the retivement of the penbacks and the substitution therefor of an in- ferior state bank currency.

The wmaliciousness of this publication is manifest. The intention is to mpr the credulous and ignorant veader with the idea that one of the leading papers of the Ohio metropolis had stigmatized The Bee as a fraud and Mr. Perry h, general manager of the Cincinnati Connmercial-Gazette, the leading daily of Cincinnati, states over his own signature that no such paper as the “Bill Board” is known to exist in Cinein L. The secretary of the American Publishers association writes that no such per as the “Bill Board” has ever been heard of by him, and, even if it had been, its pretending to speak for the Publishe ssociation would be preposterous. We do not expect, however, that the World-Herald will haul down its spuri- ous Dblack-lined blank lies any more than it hauled down the lying “largest civenlation” sign after The Bee had put )00 into the hands of Henry W. es as against nothing to be forfeited in ense a comparison of subscription lists in Omala, Douglas county and Nebraska did not show two subscribers of The Bee to every one of the World- Herald. ever day il work retire chair, we sheet WOULD BE REVOLUTIONARY. Colonel Henry Watterson is still un- able to conceive that AW, Cleveland should seek another term in the pre dential office and says that if e should receive a fourth nomination the effect weunld be revolutionar, Ac: cording to a reported interview the editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal ald: “It would be a revolution. Party anization and ties would be burst asunder. he very suggestion is a shock to American manhood. He who could serfously propose it preclaims himself a traitor to the essential prin- ciples of government under which we live.” Yot some very good demoerats have proposed it and it is not to b doubted that a great many others are viewing it with great satisfaction as a possibility. The opinion of so prom inent a democratic leader as S Gray on the subject is well known and to this can now be added the opinion of ex-Representative Harter of Ohio, a man of no little influence in the councils of the democracy. In a re cent interview My, Harter stated unqual- ifiedly that he s in favor of the nom ination of Cle nd next year, believ- ing that he would be the strongest man the democracy could nominate, Ungues- tionably there are thousands of other equally good demoerats in the country who hold the same view and it probable that converts to a thivd term for Mr. Cleveland are being made every day. The poverty of the party in avail- able presidential timber makes this in- evitable. It Dbecomes more and more evident every day that if President Cleveland wants a fourth nomination he will secure it, however strong the opposition of the few democrats like Mr. Watterson, who are loyal to the prin- ¢iple announced by Washington and approved by Jefferson. Demoerats of that class, there is every reason to be- lieve, will exert little influence in the next national convention of the party it Mr. Cleveland intends to control it in his personal interest. or The Minneapolis council has just passed an ordinance giving the merchants' salvage corps right-of-way on the streets of that city. Such measures, of course, are in the interest of the in- surance companies, but a well directed salvage corps is equally beneficial to the owners of property attacked by the flames. Many instances have been noted in this ciiy where the chief dumage to merchandise stock menaced by five was deluged by water with which it was deluged. A competent salvage corps could have saved the property in every Omaba is sadly in need of just such a protection against English railway contractors are pross- ing a big claim against the Colombian government apparently under the im- pression that with the backing of the British ministry any kind of a bill may be enforced against a South American republic. If this keeps on much lo the collection of debts against foreign countries will come to be the prineipal function of the British government. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat inti- mates that the public land still un- occupied is for the most part of an un- desirable nature. This Is not strictly accurate.

S iy tion Reforms in Utah. Philadelphia Press, Wisdom is Justified of all her children. The new constitution of Utah makes no re- striction upon the suffrage either for men or women other than the usual requirements as to age and residence, except in a single instance. Cities, towns and villages cannot borrow money in excess of the taxes lald to repay in the current year except by authority of a majority of citizens who have paid a proper tax. “Only taxpayers who bear the burdens of government are allowed to vote on a proposition to increase taxation by borrowing. This Is a very wise restriction on the suffrage. Its justice will commend it for adoption In older commonywealths, e e gt ading the Spirlt of the Law. ‘ost-Dispateh, r the fact that the alien land law of Ilinois would practically forfeit his land shortly unleos he became a citizen, Lord Scully has proved by coming here and get ting naturalzed that landiordism Is incom- patible with patriotism.

He will stil, in prac- tice, be an aiien landlerd. What American citlzens will do to meet conditions such as these remains to be seen, but it Iy evident that some way ot of the difficulty must be found. The ‘march of clvilization would be stayed under the Scully system. LEL i iy Preserve the Big Battleficlds, Waghington Star. What has been, done to preserve the bat- tlefleld of Chickamauga should be dome in many other Jocalities where for awhlle, dur- ing the war period, the interest of the then divided nation centralized. It would, of course, be absurd to provide for the preserva- tion of all the battlefields, but there would be comparatively little dificulty in making government reservations of the more promi- aent scenes of conflict, © All that is needed ie 2 little legislation, and this can be had with- ut difficulty it the matter is taken up with the earnestness that has characterized Gen eral H.

Veterans of the north and south meet in those places on neutral ground and find in their latter-day interchange of incident and opinion material out of whic vroceeds an intensified patriotism and love of country. AR S i Timely ‘Suggestion. Ph lelphla Record. The distribution of the big corn crop will depend largely upon the cost of shipment. In many parts of the west the supply of corn available for food will be greatly in excess of the supply of cattle and hogs to which it might be fed. A price as low at 15 cents per bushel has already been fixed for corn (0 be delivered from various producing sec- tions in the west. Even this low price may not prove to be the minimum should the yield turn out as big as expected. There are re- mote districts in KKansas and Nebraska whence the cost of shipment to commercial enters at the normal winter grain carrying rates may be prohibitive. This would doubt- less result in a large consumption of corn for fuel. Farmers who would be compelled to haul corn many miles to the nearest rail- road for a net return, which, under a Chi- g0 seaboard rate basls of 25 cents per 100 pounds, would not exceed 10 cents per bushel, may find it more profitable to burn the corn than to invest its small proceeds in coal for the same purpose. It will behoove the big railroad magnates who are now trying to devise some~form of ironclad agree- ment to overcome the effects of excessive competition to consider the state of the far western corn producer, when they shall come to estublish new rate echedules for the coming season. A I0WA PRESS COMMENT. Sloux City Journal: Senator Allison's speeches in'Towa cre being widely discussed outside the state as well as at home—and everywhers with approval among our re- publicans. Cedar Rapids Gazette: Several Towa towns ate getting their eyes opsned on bonus hunt- ing factorfes.

And the voter; well, he gets lots of information on both sides of ‘the, question and then goes to the polls and votes as he pleases. Des Moines Register: The country does not take kindlyto'bboming. The people admire a sense of reserve in those who are ambitious to fill great offices. Much of Senator Alli- son's popularity today is in the fact that there has been no ppsegmly effort on the part of his friends to' push him into prominence, Senator Allison’s own attitude Is that of a wigo and patrigtic man, content to go te the country on his merits, Davenport Demacrat: The stock growers of eastern Nebraska have learned the lesson of last year's short crops and they are not disposed to forget {t because they have great ylelds this year. In Dodge county, which is in the extreme eastern part of the state, the Standard Cattle company is cutting and gathering 1,800 acres of corn.

WILL BE DEVOTED TO THE MASTER'S WORK Impressive Ceremonies at the Ordinn. tHon=Appointments for the Te Made at the North Nebraskn FREMONT, Oct ernoon there 7.—~(Special)—Sunday aft- ocenrred at the Methodist vice of the conference, the ordination of deaconesses, deacons and elders. After sing- | ing by the congregation and the invocation | by the bishop, the following named young | ladies came forward to the altar and, amid en | impressive stillness throughout the large con- | fice, were consecrated to the solemn duties of the church: Misses Hannah Todd, June Rob- inson and F. DeWolf. The sclemn an beautiful consecration service was read by the | bishop and the young ladies answered clearly and distinetly the questions propounded them, renouncing the thir of the world, and con- secrating their time and services wholly and unreservedly to the work of the Master. The work done by the deacon:sses is one of toll and seif denial, and re: people who could be brought under church influence in no r way. The conference has taken a great deal of interest in the work of the deaconesses, and at the next conference it is probable that there will be ral more young ladies consecrated to duties of that office. The following ministers were then ordainel | as deacons: Revs. John P. Yost, J. M. Wright, | Laton R. DeWolf, Albert L. G 2ward 1. George, John N. Gortner, W. W. Shank and John A. Roads. Drs. Maxfleld, Tyndall, Marquette and Hodgetts assisted the bishop in the ordination services. While the ritual- istic services were being performed the can- didates knelt at the altar. Their responses to the questions asked them were clear and distinct, and with pronounced Methodist fer- vor. The bishop then laid his hands upon the heads of the candidates and solemnly con- secrated them to the work of the Christian ministry, giving them authority to expound the word of God and the power and authority conferred upon them by the canons of the church. Messrs. B. B, Hosman, Farnam Ellis and William H. Underwood were then ordained as elders, the bishop being assisted by Dr. Hartzell and the same clergymen as in the former ordination service. The cl or the ordination of deacons was impressive. The bishop and the five ol men, three standing upon each side of t candidate, laid their hands upon his head and dedicata him to the service of the church as an_elde Rev. O. D. Crawfor a clergyman of the Congregational church, also took upon himself the vows of the church, and was admitted to full memb the conferer The closing held this morning at 7:30, the bishop in the chair. The conference fund for the support of superannuated ministers and their widows was apportioned to the different applicants The dates for taking the various benevolent contributions of the church were fixed. as- ter Sunday was assigned for the missionary collections, Dr. J. W. Robinson of the special commit- teo on the Armenian question reported a reso- lution deploring the state of anarchy pre- vailing in that unfortunate country, cxpressing sympathy with the Armenian Christians, and demanding that the Christian nations take a stand to prevent such outrages. The resolution was enthusiastically adopted. Before announcing the appointments, Bishop Newman gave a few words of advice to ministers about to be transferred from one parish to another. He sald that in making the appointments himself and his cabinet had endeavored to do what the best inter- ests of the church and the parishes demanded. He complimented the conference upon the high standazd of morality, sincerity and con- sccration among its members, and said that this session had been one of the most profit- ible cnes he had ever presided over.
