Contrary to all precedent the fierce fac tional contest extended thronghout the and the consensins of opinion was that the legislature would djourn and leave Nebragka without a United States sen uch an ending would have beew ful to the state and disastrous entire session ate, disg | to the republican party. In the language of Senator Hanna: “It seems almost criminal that after such a vietory as had been won in the battle of Nebraska in 1900 by the re publican party the fruits of it should be jeopardized by the awbition of any candidat The deadlock was broken on the morning of the last day by the volun tary withdraws the leading candi dates, who realized that the time had come when they must sacrifice personnl ambition to the higher interests of party and the welfare of the st The nomination, of Charles 1. Dietfleh and Joseph HL Millard followes result of this generous aetjon, which commends ftself to the republicans of this state and of the cntire country. Although in public life but a few months Governor Dietrich has dis played qualities of a high order as an executive; he has the rare faculty of discernment aud prompt decision uisite ip a man occupying public office. In making appointments in the state institutions Governor Dietrich has invariably adhered to the rule that competency and integrity are essential qualifications of every public official and employe. That he will adhere to the same rule in making recommend: tions for appointments in the federal service Is almost beyond question. He will, morcover, carry to the national capitol the habit of hard work aud close attention to the duties devolving upon him, Joseph H. Millard will go to the senate well equipped as a wan of affairs. His life-dlong expericnce as a business wan and banker as well as a promoter of great enterprises will enable him to grapple without ditficulty questions of national finance and measures requir- ing a thorough knowledge of commer- clal usages. ldentiied with every In- terest that tends to promote the develop- ment of the resources of this state, and especially the upbuilding of Nebraska's metropolls, Mr. Millard may be de pended upon to labor earnestly and efficiently for the best interests of his constituents. While no claim can be laid for either of our new senators to gifts of ora- tory or training in diplomacy and statescraft we have the gratitying as- surance that the interests of this state will be In safe hands In the higher branch of the national legislature. of as a ) AN OBJECTIONABLE APPOINTMENT. The appointment of former Repre- sentative Rodenberg of Illinois in the civil service commission is heing sharply criticised on the ground that he is not a friend of civil service reform. It ap- pears that Mr. Rodenberg was one of the seventy-seven members of the house of representatives who, on February 17, 1900, voted against all appropriations for the salaries and expenses of the civil service commission. In doing this he put himself on record as an enemy of the merit system and therefore hi appointment is justly regarded as a very serious mistake. Unfortunately it cannot reasonably be supposed that the president was un- aware of this record, It was certainly his duty to inform himself regarding the views and position of Mr. Roden- berg upon the merit system and assum- fng that he did this the appointment is quite Inexplicable, Mr. McKinley has always been an earnest supporter of civil service reform, Some of the strong- est speeches in congress in advoeac; of that policy were made by him and throughout his public career since he has attested the sincerity of the views then expressed. The republican party has stood firmly for the reform ever since it was adopted. Why, therefore, the president should have selected to administer the civil service law a man who Is on record as opposed to the principle, who voted In congress to overthrow the merlt system and who, 80 far as known, has not changed his position regarding the policy, Is alto- gether incomprehensible. We are not prepared to think that the president has lost interest in the merit system, but all friends of clvil service reform must regret the appoint- ment as commissioner of a man whose course in congress showed Lim to be hostile to the principle. STEADY PROGRESS TOWARD PEACE. Advices from General MacArthur continue to show that steady progress toward peace is being made and war rant the belief that the end of the in- surrection is very near. Surrenders of insurgents in Mindanao, next to Luzon the largest of the Philippine islands, are reported, which end opposition to American authority there so far as the Fillpinos are concerned. 1t seems safe to conclude, therefore, that all the in habitants of that island will now ac cept the sovereignty of the United States and that civil government will in short time be established there, A Manila dispateh states that Aguin aldo has bad a conference with former members of his cabinet and other promi nent Filipinos, who polnted out to him the hopelessness of the insurgent cause and advised him to exert his influence to establish peace and for the recogni tlon of American sovereignty. The cap tive chief of the insurrection, if he be wise, will act promptly upon this ad vice. His influence may, indeed, be somewhat impalred by the fact that he s & prisoner, but in any event an effort on his part to bring about peace and to Induce bis people to recognize ,\m:-rl- can sovereiguty would count much in the first | T E his favor when {le question of dealing | With hime shall come up for determina | tion.

There is an evidence of this in the diminished death rate. The number of deaths in Havana during February was 446. In Febru- ary, 1808, it was 1,602 and the monthly average of the past ten vears was 46, The deaths of last month were at the rate of 10.32 per 1,000, which is much be- low the rate of most of the cities of the United States. New Orleans, at about the same period, had a death rate of 28.26, Mobile 20.73 and Jacksonville 48.37. In the last February under Spanish rule the death rate of Havana was 8232 per 1,000 During the military occupation Havana has been cleaned as it never was before, a modern system of dralnage and sewer age has been established and the streets scientifically paved. The diminished death rate is one of the results. It is Interest- ing to notice, also, the effective fight that has been made directly against yellow fever. The recent chservations of the agency of moaquitoes in propagating the disease have been practically applied. As soon as a of yellow fever is reported the rooms occupied by the patient are screened all mosquitoes in the building and in neigh- boring buildings are Killed by the fumes of pyrethrum powder and any places nearby where mosquitoes can breed are covered with kerosene. All this is in addition to disinfection and other general sanitary precautions, and thus far very few cases of yellow fever have occurred in the city and the medical authorities are confident of avolding anything like the usual epidemic in the coming summer. This is but a single item in the efcient sanitary system that bhas been established in Havana, one of the things that make a favorable contrast with Spanish indif ference. The maintenance of this system is rightly insisted upon as one of the dutles of the new Cuban government, but it would seem as though the Cubans had a right to exact the same thing of us.

But with the falliog off in revenue derived from imports has come a corresponding increase in the bounties, so at present the high price of bread is maintained not only at the pense of the consumier, but at growing ex nse to the government as well The new bill proposes to give a bount 7 francs per quintal to the farmer who e ports corn, and the bounty ticket can be of- fered to the customs department in change for products fmported into France If, after three months, this bounty ticket is not used, he presents it to the state and What would happen were such a measure to become a law is now belng discussed by French political economists most of whom agree that speculation in bounty tickets vould at once become in tense, while the French farmer would dis pose of his wheat on foreign markets wher ever there was a margain of proft. pays moi of ex ot ox Reports from various quarters indica that the Turks are keeping order in Mace- donia after their ancient fashion. A let- ter from Uskub, published in a Viennese newspaper, says that the Turkish soldiery are committing excesses in all directions They not only occupy the town, but all the neighboring pl and robbing and maltreating respectable citizens. Many of the shops have been shut, and there is an exodus of the country-folk to Servia, Bul- garla and’ Montenegro. Many of them have appealgd for help to the Russian consul but he does not seem to have interfered in their behalf. Meanwhile the Turks, in great force, are holding strategic points and the mountain passes. As usual, the Greeks are taking advantage of the situa- tion to improve their own condition. They pose, the writer of the letter says, as the only truly faithful subjects of the sultan, and they are busily preferring charges against all the Servians or Bulgarians who may be obnoxious to them. As a quence they are exempt from the persecu- tions trom which others suffer, and all the measures taken against the revolutionary propaganda only tend to increase and con- solidate their Influence. The Turks are suspected of trying to provoke a revolu- tionary outbreak that they may have an ex- cuse for employing the forces which they have on the spot in their customary drastic measurey, of pacification. conse- The position of Signor Prinetti as minis- ter of foreign affairs in the new Italian cabinet has caused the question to be re- vived in Berlin and Vienna whether, when the Triple Alliance agreement comes up for renewal, Italy will again be one of the members. Prinetti has been known for sev- eral years as an opponent of the dreibund scheme, and it was this supposed attitude of his which caused the socialists to support his entry into the Zanardelli-Glolitti cabi- net with no small enthusiasm. It has been recently alleged, however, that in a con- versation with the Bavarian minister to the vatican he discussed the alliance in such a way as to leave the impression that Italy agaln dy to renew the ement provided adequate terms were offered her. Prinetti has denied, in a way, before the Chamber that he ever had such a conversa- tion, while the socialist organ, the Avanti, points out that, “even a mere uncondi- tional predisposition to renew the allince would be treason toward Italian interests It is helleved in diplomatic circles n Rome that before very long the Zanardelll- Giolitti cabinet will be forced by the so- clalist and radical members of the Chamber to reveal its exact policy in regard to a re- newal of the agreement with Germany and Austria-Hungary, and that the cabinet will be forced to declare itself against such a renewal. This is taken for granted in Der lin and Vienna, where it Is pointed out that, in some respects, Italy had outlived her usefulness in the Triple Alliance, and that the dissolution of the dreibund would in no wise disturb the Austro-German entente concluded in October, 1879, or the inde- pendent treaties between Italy and the other members of the alliance. It is shown that twenty years ago the peace of Europe de- manded that Italy should be a member of the alliance, but now the situation was changed, and if she were to withdraw 1t would be on the most friendly terms and with every prospect of continued friendly relations, while the very policy which had made it expedient for Italy to withdraw would be a sufficient guaranty that she would form no other alliance which would be a source of danger to her late alli e Without attracting much attention in the rest of Europe, Portugal has perfected her plans of army reorganization, but now that they are about to be put into operation the subject is being actively discussed in Mad- rid in the light of the supposed cntente cordiale between Great Britain and Portu- gal. The Heraldo of Madrid declares that Spain should be alert because so extensive a base of operations as Portugal, situated about the mouths of the principal Spanish rivers, and provided with excellent ports in which an invader would find all kinds of necessaries at hand, and an auxiliary army of 200,000 men to aid him to carry out his military and naval operations, cannot be contemplated with equanimity. Other papers, while expressing no particular alarm, ave greatly surprised that Portugal should make such military preparations at a time when Spain neither has adopted nor can adopt any polley of expansion or ag gression and when she must devote the whole of her attention to “the curing of the woundg left by her recent misfortunes.” The effect of Portugal's army reorganiz tion measures will mean that the little kingdom occupying a western portion of the peninsula will, although Spain has a pop ulation four times as great as hers, possess an army approximately equal to one-half of the Spanish forces. The new recruiting system will ralse the strength to twenty seven regiments of infantry, the same num- ber of regiments of r ves, twelve bat talions of chasseurs, eight regiments of cavalry with reserve squadrons, four regl ments of field rtillery, two horse bat- teries, three mountain batteries, two regl ments of garrison artillery (h y artillery) and fifteen companies of engineers.
