The Bee has already 1aid hefore its readers the most notable events of the closing year and of the century. An adequate review of | these s beyond the lmitations of the | newspap T transformation that has taken place in the world during the last hun- dred years is wonderful. Of the elght at nations two, Germany and Ttaly, are creations of the nineteenth century. Austria Las been entirely remodeled. Japan has entered for the first time into the soclety of the nations, passing at a single step over the distance that it tovk the states of Europe hundreds se. France has changed its form of government a number of times, Russia, while utinuing an autocracy, has not been wholly im pervious to the enlightening sentiment ingland has been trans- formed into a democracy and has cre- ated the greatest empire in the annals of mankind, The Unit 1 States has multiplied its population by fittecn, quadrupled its area and advanced from the last place among important powers to the first. The struggle for self-government in Europe has been so successtul that nowhere, except in Rus sin and Turkey, does the century close on an absolute moenarchy. The politieal changes in America have Leen not less remarkable than in Bu e, At the beginning of the century there was but one republic in the west ern hemisphere. Now there are nine teen and Cuba will add another carly in the new century. In 1800 the United States constituted the only independent territory on either American continent. Now the whole of South and Central Amerlea is independenc and republican and no European power but Great Britain has any important footing in North Amerlea. Asin, Africa and Aus- nm nineteenth century, while the hermit nd Corea have been thrown open. The history of the United States since the early years of the century has consisted wmainly of territorial expansion, industirial and commercial development, and the set- tlement by political agitation and the contlict of arms of the problems entailed upon the republic by the heritage of r nution has contributed more to the advancement of clviliza- tion and to the uplifting of mankind, while to the example of this republic is due the progress of liberty and self-gov- ernment everywhere. But what more than all else charac- terizes the nineteenth century and per- haps constitutes its chief glory, is the vast strides In sclentific discovery and the application of the forces of nature to the service of maun. In this respect the achievements during the century have been marvelous. With the excep- tion of mathematics and astronomy, all the sciences may be said to have been established in this century. Some existed in name before, but all have been revised, changed and developed, 8o that as they exist today they bear little relation to the sciences of ghe sume nawmes in the eighteenth or precad- ing centuries. Nearly every maoterial agency for the transaction of commerce and the comfort of mankind with which we are now familiar is a product of the nineteenth century. The century is also remarkable for educational advancement and diffusion. At its beginniug there was no such thing as a national system of schools for the masses anywhere in the world, At its close there is not a people in the family of nations, no mat- ter what the form of government, which {8 not woving toward such an ideal. In this the American people led the way. In art and literature the closing century has been one of the world's greatest eras, rich in genius whose labors will influeuce and illuwine the world for ages to come, We step upon the threshold of the new century facing a still brighter era for human civilization and for the im- provement of all the conditions that make for the soclal, moral and materinl betterment of the race. There is much to.do, but the forces that enlighten and elevate humanity have gained tre mendous power in the ¢ and are dispelling ignorance, degradaiion and wisery as neve COST OF NATIONAL GOVERNME?

Three days after the rtion The Bee outlined the conditions that existed In South Owaha in the following editorial comment: i Evidence is conclusive that the grossest election frauds were perpetrated by the fusion managers in Douglas county in the South Omaha precincts and that the large majority for fusion candidates shown on the returns from South Omaha are flc- titious, the result of miscount, fraudulent voting, fbpeating and colonization. Some of the election boards in South Omaha, although supposed to represent both parties, took orders directly from the fusion committee, even to the extent of ignoring court orders requiring them to conform to the law in the count instead of pursuing arbitrary, dark lantern meth- ods to make good their agreements to de- liver the stipulated majorities to the fu- slonists. The Bee makes bold to assert that at least half of the majority in South Omaha recorded against the republicans is fraud- ulent and would be wiped out by an ac- curate count of the ballots honestly cast. Such flagrant deflance of the law, striking at the very root of popular government, should rouse our people to a realization of the dangers threatened by the lawless and unscrupulous practices of the fusion ma- chine. It there is any redress to be had they should Insist upon having it. The frauds then indicated have since been proved in detail by a mass of cor- roborative evidence, showing up a gigantic conspiracy, Including not only the fusion managers, but also certain us republicans whose betrayal | the registration stacked and the hooths wide open, almost every species of ele tion fraud and chicanery was practiced to count in Ransom, notorious as the senator from Union stoc his fusion associates. Fraud vitiates all contracts and cer- tificates of election procured by fraud have no claim to recognition by any les islative body. yards, and Whatever agreements the county com- missioners come to with the projectors of the proposed suburban electrie road they should see to it that the public in- te ts are safeguarded at every point, It might be well to call for expert ad- vice from the city engineer or some other competent person. The taxpayers of Douglas county do not want to give away franchises for speculative pur- poses, but they are ready to encourage legitimate enterprise President Cleveland has gone on rec- ord in faver of a oue-term presidency, but with a longer tenure and selected by more divect choice.
