HUNGAT Notary Publle, e —————— ooler weather is predicted for De- eember, It is to be hoped the republicans of Douglas county will not allow the demo- erats to dictate their candidates, Now that Ak-Sar-Ben has celebrated his anunal festival the auditorium will find room to take up the attention of our husiness wen once more. The only way to retrieve the fortunes of the Buffalo exposition is to prevail upon the railroad managers to put in low excursion rates that will bring the | people. Ak-Sar-Ben's carnival and street fair have proved successful notwithstanding the unlooked-for and unavoldable ob- stacles that had to be met. Ak-Sar-Ben always comes out on top. Aguinaldo’s has surren- @ered to the forces. With thelr chief a prisoner and themselves out of a jobh neither profit nor glory re. mained in playing insurgent.

If President Roosevelt finds time to read the newspapers he will probably wonder how he found time during his short life to do all the wonderful and peculiar things varlous story tellers at- tribute to him. We are waiting patlently to learn whether the eracker trust has responded favorably to the demand of the retail grocers for a change in the size of cracker boxes that will facllitate their use as egg cases, The republicans of Towa have opened their state campaign, It is really a waste of time, but Towa democracy al- ways insists upon a formal funeral and the republicans are charitable enough to give the mourners a chance, According to South there is o demand for all’ the ean be secured and there Is no reason Omaha packers beef that to believe that the price of fat cattle will decrease, It takes nerve to put 50- cent corn into cattle, but the prospects are that those who do it will come out winners. — Put it down republican focal popoct that the candidates for nominations for whom the tic organ manifests the most solicitude before the primaries and convention are just the candidates it will wade Into hardest should the re- publicans take popocratic advice by nominating them. The popocratic press insists that Pres- fdent Roosevelt must change the per- gonnel of hix eabinet if he wishes to tain the confidence of the country. Should he decide to make any cabinet changes, however, the same papers would be just as loud in their fault- finding as ever. No republican prest dent can satisfy the popocratic organs and Roosevelt will not try to do so. The votton manufacturing industry in Mexico Is langnishing, Mexico has the cotton, the mills and cheap labor, but the one thing sald to be lacking is “American push.” The lack of this same quality has rendered impotent the PRESIDENT AND PEOPLE. The suggestion has heen widely made that the practice of the president of the United States gofng among the peo ple and shaking hands with them should be abandoned. An Omaha min- teter sald in hig address Sunc “The assassination of three presidents must bring the nation to a realization of the folly of allowing our public men to ap pear ostentatiously at public meetings The nation has come to be &0 great and its people so varled that it s not ad visable to adhere to the customs which | prevalled when the republic was first organized.” The earlier presidents, it fs needless to say, did not go among | the people as have those of later y ! Traveling was then more or less of a hardship and the presidents of the earlier dags rarely left the national cap itul and then only for short trips. President Johnson, belleve, the first to make an extensive tour, with the distinet purpose of meeting, shaking hands with and talking to the | people, when he made his “swing | around the cirele” in advocacy of his| policy. Later presidents have gone about the country not only for the rea- son that they deemed it well for the chief executive of the nation to come into contact with the people, but also for thelr own benefit in the knowledge of public feeling to be obtained from such contact, as well as to learn from observation of the resources, the prog- ress and the greatness of the country. It was largely this that prompted Mr. McKinley's trip to the Pacific coast last we was spring. There Is no doubt that he de rived valuable information from that tour and that the people who saw him were also benefited, if only In hav ing thelr patriotism brightened and strengthened. We think the view taken of this mat- ter by Cardinal Gibbons the correct one. Referring to the advice that the presi dent should henceforth abstain from | public receptions and handshaking, he | said: “No, let the president continue to move among his people and take them by the hand. The strongest shield of our chief maglstrate 1s the love and d¢ votion of his fellow cltizens.” A pres fdent who in this day should seclude himself from his fellow citizens would not have their love and devotion. Mec- Kinley won the affection of the people because he ever sought to be near them, to know their sentiments and to make them feel that he respected and had confidence in them. He enjoyed wmeet- ing the people and shaking hands with them and when among them he desired no other protection than the popular re- spect for the great office he held. American presidents, we may be sure, will continue to go among the people and to hold public receptions. Roose- velt will do so and he bhas already shown that he desires no extraordinary precautions for his protection. If ever the time shall come when the chief maglstrate of this republic cannot freely move among the people it will have to be confessed that our republican insti- tutions are a faflure, NO CHANGE IN CUBAN POLICY. General Leouard Wood has returned to Cuba, after having conferred with the president on the affairs of the fsland. He expressed the opinion that there will be no change in the attitude of the administration toward the Cubans, but that the policy inaugurated by Mr. McKinley will be continued by his successor. In regard to the electoral law adopted by the Cuban constitutional conventlon, It is stated that with a few modifications which General Wood will ndenvor to have made it will be satis- factory to the Washington authorities. This law provides for a general elec- tion, which will probably be held in December, at which a president, a vice president, a senate and house of repre sentatives will be chosen, and each province wilP also elect a civil governor and provincial council. The president and vice president will be chosen by the 122 electors and senatorial electors will choose four senators for each of the six provinces. The chief defect in the law is in the provision it makes for six elections every year and it is under- stood that it will be suggested to the Cuban conventlon that the elections be reduced to two a year, which the Cuban people will find quite as many as needed for political activity, if they are golug to give proper attention to other matte With six elections a year most of their time, as Amerlcans well understand, would be given to the discussion of poll- tles, necessarily to the neglect and detri- ment of thelr business interests. The sland would be almost continually in a state of political excitement, diverting the popular mind from other affalrs. Perhaps the law may need modification in some other respects, but whatever is suggested by our government will be with & view to insuring the proper working of the law and starting the Cuban government on a right basis. It I8 the expectation of General Wood that the conduct of affairs can be handed over to the Cubans by next May and it 1s doubtless the desire of President Roosevelt that the American occupation of Cuba shall end as soon as possible. 8o much for our political relations with Cuba, which it may safely be as- sumed are established on a firm basis, The commercial relations, not less im- portant to the future welfare of the island, are yet to be arranged. 8 to these the views of President Roosevelt are not known. Mr. MeKinley had promised the Cubans that as soon as they had established their government the question of trade relations would be considered and of course nothing can be done until then. It Is probable that Mr. McKinley was in favor of a lberal poliey toward Cuba. This is falrly to be lnferred from the position of General Wood, who was close in the confidence of the late president as to Cuban affajrs. He urges that the United Ntates should make tariff reductions upon the staple products of Cuba, on competition of Oriental countries and 80 long as the natlons retain thelr pres ent chavacteristics neither Ameriea nor the great manufacturing countries of Europe have anything to fear from the non-progressive willions of the Orfent or the tropics which the welfare of the island abso- lutely depends. The perplexing ques- tion {8 as to how far we can go in this direction with a due regard for domestic Interests. We cannot give Cuban sugar or tobacco free admission to our market without destroying the home Industries. That fs admitted on all hands, It is| urged that reasonable reductions in the dutles on these products would not in Jure our industries and would help greatly to insure the prosperity ¢ Cuba. What would be reasonable and safe reductions it is not easy to deter mine. This country is much concerned in the development and prosperity of Cuba, but fn helping to promote these we should not fgnore the claims of do- mestic interests THE SOUTH OMAHA CANDIDATE, The of the ampaign being waged on behalf South Omaha eandidate for the republican nomination for sherift s unique fn many respects, In order to rally the South Omaha republicans to wls of Mr. MeBrid seert that the un his support the fri have made bold to friendly attitude of The Bee to his can- dic is inspired its hostility to South Omaha and its opposition to any andidate South Omaha republ wight present for an important county office, As a matter of fact The Bee has no animosity to South Omaha or any legiti mate enterprise that would promote its growth, nor has it any dlsposition to an- tagonize any republican candidate for office from South Omaha who has right- ful clalms on the party and a clean res ord to back him. The Bee has always regarded Omaha and South Omaha as one and fuseparable. Whatever affects the welfare of oue city affects the wel- fare of both. South Omaha was founded by Omaha capitalists and de- pends upon Omaha for its continued up building. Sooner or later the two cities will consolidated and become one community, political as well as commer- clal. A citizen of South Omaha has just as much right to aspire to the highest office in the county as a citizen of Omaha or a resident of a country precinet. The Bee's objection to the South Omaha can- didate for sheritf is not that be lives in South Omaha, but beeause he has by his conduct forfeited any clalm for prefer might have had on the repub- and furthermore beeause his tandidacy has been champloned by the rotten republican ring that treacherously sold out McKinley and the legislative ticket of 1900, That infumous betrayal of the party for boodle by South Omuaba grafters s still too fresh in the wemory of loyal republicans to be forgotten, The wen who stood up for McKinley and for the redemption of Nebraska bave shown themselves charitable enough to con- | done, but they are not yet willing to | reward disloyalty in the supreme hour | of the party's struggle. Although car- rying the brunt of the battle of 1900 The Bee has shown no rancorous, vindictive or factional resentment, but it proposes to draw the line on republican office holders who failed to rally to the sup- port of the republican standard in the national campaign year when the party's very exlstence was at stake. Mr. MeBride admits that he was aware of a conspiracy agalnst the ticket and claims that he suggested to Chalrman Ostrom the expulsion of the head con- spirator, Miles Mitchell, from the county committee, But If McBride knew that the ticket was to be scuttled in South Omaha, why did he skulk on election | day and allow the outrage to be perpe- trated without an effort to prevent the impending disaster? 1s 'a man who shirks his duty in the midst of battle to be promoted to a position of command? If South Omaha republicans want recognition on the county ticket th will encounter no opposition 1t they pre- sent & man who is competent for the place he seeks and is free from the taint of disloyalty at the late national elec- tion. b, The enthuslasm of the popoeratic | press over the state candidates of the parties is no greater than that of the | conventions which named them. They | are endorsed in a perfunctory manner; | the beating of drums and clashing of | cymbals Is not heard in the land. The populists, who furnish the majority of the fusion votes, do not relish belng hitched onto the wagon for the sole pur- pose of ballust. For the next few days the Omaha yellow journals will devote themselves to the demolition of the so-called repub- llean wmachine, of which they are mor- tally afraid. The funny thing about the yellow organs is that they Insist that the republican machine wants to re- elect the democratic sheriff and that is the reason they do not want the ma chine to have its way. The anarchists who hay arrest at Chicago have 1 heen under 1 released, the state admitting it had no case against them. lustend of appreciating the fairness with which the law and its officers have dealt with them these people will probably commence at once to rafl against the law, which in this case has been their protector. The burning of the Norfolk Hospital for the Insane is another illustration of the folly of erecting anything but fire- proof structures for such purposes In- mates of unsound mind are especially difficult to handle under such conditions and 1t speaks well for the management and the assistauts that only one life was lost. The president of France and the czar of Russin are sald to have discussed the Turkish question during their v t conferenc In view of the well known desires of Russin and the strained re- lations with France the Turk will do well to keep an eye to the windward.

The democrats and populists of Nebraska have fused this year on a basis of division in the offices.

New York World Virginia's constitutional convention did a feolish and a dangerous thing when it voted to amend the state's bill of rights by omit- ting the guarantee of “‘liberty of the press and freedom of speech.” What is the grand old state of Washington, Jefferson, Ma shall, Patrick Henry and Madison thinkiag about? Has she forgotten all her most glorious traditions and is she going to prove unfaithful to the teachings of all her great sons who helped to frame the consti- tution, in which oven congress is expressly prohibited from making any law “abrid ing tho freedom of speech or of the press Virgl f Resp Kaneas City Stas Ex-President Cloveland recalls that when he and the late President McKinley were rlding to the capitol for the inauguration of the latter Mr. McKinley remarked: “What an impressive thing it is to assume tremendous responsibilitiest” Mr. Cleve- land 1s probably right in belleving that in this significant comment lies the key to President McKinley's manner of adminis- tration. The sense of responsibility should be the first consideration of any man who assumes the duties of office on behalt of the people, but how many consider first of all the glory and the personal advantagos. How many, too, glve only perfunctory at- tentlon to the needs and rights of those they are chosen to represent! If only the realization of Individual and officlal re- sponsibility were felt throughout the ranks of the nation's servants, there would be littlo fault to find with the public admin- istrators. WHO ARE ALIENS? Place of Birth Has Little Bearing on the Question. Kansag, City Journal. What 1 it to be an alien? It is not merely to be born on the other side of the water, to come here and after waliting a probationary | period be invested with the dignity of legal citizenship. What is it to be an American citizen? It f¢ not merely to be born in the country, to inherit as a legacy of birth the privileges of participation in the affairs of the republic. To be a citizen in the true o 18 to bo a citizen in heart. Some men are mentally and morally qualified for citi- zenship when they land at Castle Garden and others in whose veins run generations of American blood are all their lives allen in heart and anarchiste in sympathy. Speaking ethically, to be an allen is to be aligned agalnst the epirit of our institu- tlons. To be & citizen 15 to be in sympathy with the spirit of those institutions. Citi- zenship is loyalty, and no man is more of an alien than he who, born in this country, enjoying the priceless heritage of the past, his every interest safeguarded by the flag, is arrayed In heart and thought, even if not in action, against the genius of the Amer!- can republic. No man is more of a citlzen than he who, born on foreign soll, comes to this free land to help It work out its destiny, glving his energy and his sympathy to the tulfillment of its mission. Deportation has been suggested as one of the remedies for anarchy. If we would stamp out all alienlsm there would have to be some expatriation. NEW EPOCH IN P ESIDENTS, “Another Landmark in the Natlon's History Has Been Reached St Louls Globe-Democrat, Mr. McKinley was probably the last of the presidents whom the country will who served in the oivil war. Theodore Roosevelt was only 3 years old in the early days of the war of secession. True, he is younger than any other president whom the country has ever had. The chances are. however, that the chief magistrate here- after will belong to a later generation of men than did those who controlled the na- tion's destinies from Lincoln's days on- ward to those of McKinley. All this list of elected presidents served in the army during the clvil war except Mr. Cleve- land. When Martin Van Buren was elected two-thirds of a century ago'the country realized that a new epoch in the natlon's history had been reached. He was the first of the presidents who was Lorn after the close of the war of independence. All his predecessors, even Jackson, the man who was in office directly before him, had elther participated in the war or were old enough to remember its passions and to be In- fluenced, In some degree at least, by the issues which that conflict created or by the passions which it generated. Van Buren was born in the last month of 1782, just after the preliminary treaty was signed by which George Il recognized the inde- pendence of hig late colonies. In the present instance also a new land- mark in the nation's history has been reached. It is now over thirty-six vears since Lee's vetorans stacked arms for the last time. Forty years will have passed from that date by the time the next presi- dent is inaugurated. Not many men in the army at the close of 1865 were below 22 or 23 years of age. Few of them who will be alive in 1905 will be under 65 years of age, and that mark 18 pretty close to the dead line in presidential ambition. Only threo presidents have been as old as 65 at the time of their fnauguration—Willlam Henry Harrison, Taylor and Buchanan— and the last named was the only one of them who llved through his term. The chances are that the country has seen in the presidentlal office the last of the men who fought in the civil war. The present president belongs to a later gen- eration and it is likely that all his suce sors will. A uew page in the mation's bis tory has been turned. PTEMBER 24, 1901 New are ehown {n the growth in political power of the varlous sections of the union. New England in twenty years has gained threo votes in the house and in tha electoral col loge, Massachusetts getting two of them and Connecticut one. Three of the middle states—New York, New Jersey and Penn- eylvania—have gained ten votes, New Jer sey's proportionate advancementthree votes—belng greatest and New York's three votes—being least. In what long known politically as the solid south Texas's growth has quite overshadowed that of any other state. Arkansas and Mis- sourl have galned two votes apiece In twenty years, and these elght states have gained one vote apiece—West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida Georgla, Alabama, Mississippi and Louts fana, Maryland, Virginfa, Kentucky and Tennessea have made no progross. In the widdle west Ohfo and Indiana have likew! merely held their own in political strength | through the last two decades. Tllinois has leaped abead of Ohfo, having now twenty- five, instead of twenly, seats in the house of reprecentatives to Ohio's twenty-one.

He was a most generous man, caring little for money. He stepped into the White House financially wrecked, not merely having lost all his money, but heavily in debt, with notes against him. His friends, prominent among whom were Mark Hapna and H. H. Kohlsaat. went to his rescue. They took up his paper and put him on his feet. The president was frugal and lved plainly at the White House. He saved a good part of his salary of nearly $1,000 a week, and devoted it to repaying the friends who had come to him in the hour of need. Eventually he pald back every penny advanced on his behalf, a sum total ot about $100,000 One of Mr. McKinley's closest personal friends sald the other day that the Canton house was worth $12,000 and the farm $30,000, and that, with securities and cash of $100,000 and insurance of $60,000, the es- tate would be worth a trifie more than $200,000.
