The prime feature of the Lincoln system 1s the requirement of a majority of all ‘votes cast to constitute a nomination. No system of minority rule will com- mend iteelf in these days to the rank .and @le of any party organization. l DEATHOFJ. STERLING MORTON. In the death of J. Sterling Morton, Nebraska has lost one of its most dis- tinguished citizens. As one of the founders of the commonwealth Mr. Morton was a conspicuous example of ite sturdy and progressive ploneers and contributed largely to the development of its resources. Endowed with an indomitable will, and possessing at all times the courage of his convictions, Mr. Morton fearlessly expressed his ¥lews on all public ques- tlons, whether they were in accord with or in deflance of public sentiment. In the Kansas-Nebraska conflict he was a pronounced champlon of states rights as enunciated by John C. Calhoun, re- jecting and repudiating the squatter soverelgnty ldeas of Stephen A. Douglas, which had fascinated the young democ- racy of the north, and partienlarly of this section. During the war of the rebellion his sympathies were against Lincoln and the prosecution of the war. After Nebraska had been admitted into the union he was the recognized leader of Nebraska democracy and so con- tinued until the party had committed itself to dogmas at variance with his convictions, when he proclalmed his political independence, which he exer- cised freely in public speech and in the press. Never popular in a political sense, and never seeking popularity by the devices of the demagogue, J. Bterling Morton was at all times a man of culture and positive force, exerting his talents and influence for the elevation of the stand- ard of public morals and the cultivation of the civic virtues. He despised hypoerisy and detested imposture of every sort and often told unpalatable truths when it would have been more profitable to him to dissimulate. He preached and taught the gospel of work as the only safe ladder to success and fame and continued through a life- time to practice what he preached. While he endeared himself more to the classes than to the masses, he was nevertheless a specimen of manhood that placed Nebraska on a higher plane among its sister states. PROGRESS IN SOUUTHERN MARKETS The chisf of the bureau of foreign commerce makes the gratifying report that the trade of the United States in the markets of South America is growing. He shows that this is the case in Bra in the Argentine Repub- lie, in Chile and other countries, a number of the manufactured products of this country being now in greater demand in these southern markets than ever before and preferred wherever they have been introduced to similar Euro- pean goods. The report is encouraging, but there is one polnt in it that is worthy of more than passing attention and that is the statement, with special reference to Bra- zil, that the export trade of the United States to that country never will reach its proper development so long as our merchandise has to seek foreign bot- toms. This applies equally to most of the other South American countries Nothing is more essential to the building up of our commerce with that part of the world than direct and rapid trans- portation facilities by American steam- ship lines and it can be confidently as serted that until such facilities are pro- vided our merchants and manufactur- ers will be at a disadvantage In com- peting for the South American trade, in spite of the superiority- of most of our manufacturers over those of Europe. England and Germany, shipping thelr goods to South America in their own ships, enjoy a prestige that is of very great benefit to them, while our lack of the means of direct and quick com- munication is a serious handicap to us. 1t is remarkable that under the circum- stances we are making any progress in the South American markets, and cer- tainly there could be no better tribute to the superiority of our manufactured products for which there is a demand in those markets. p— OUR GENEROUS PENSION SYSIEM. It is & matter of general knowledge that the pension system of the United States is by far the most gen- erous in the world, but it is not com- monly understood that the annual ex- penditures of this government for pen- slons are more than double the total paid by all other governments put together. Yet such s the fact. The amount estimated as necessary for the payment of our penslons for the coming fiscal year 1s $138,500,000, a decrease of $5,500,000 as compared with the ap- propriation for the present fiscal year, but all other countries combined, as shown by & writer in the current num- ber of the Forum, do not pay an amount for pensions equal to this. While practically there are military pension systems in ail countries, in few of them are the regulations under which applications may be filed as favor- able as they are in this country. In every other country a comparatively brief limit is placed upon the time in which an application can be made for a pension, while fn this country a soldier who incurred & wound or dis- ability in the civil war forty years ago may apply for a pension, with every assurance of recelving 1t if he can trace the origin of a (isability to his army service. Such generosity in the treat- ment of those having a clalm to ped- sions Is not ouly unknown in any other country than the United States, but is unprecedented in all history. There are a few mingr . respects in which some forelgn govermments Wre a little more liberal or indulgent than the United States, but on the whole no nation ap- proaches this in generosity to its soldlers, thelr. widows and orphans, and yet it is not, wacommon to hear the complajut that the United States gov- ernment is not doing its duty by the unlon veterans of the civil war and the soldlers of the war with Spain. Certainly those who make this com- plaint cannot have carefully examined facts aud made themselves ac- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: in Buropean countries. They cannot know that the estimated payment for pensions by this government for the coming fiscal year is more than double the total of all other govern- ments put together. Otherwise there would surely be no complaint that this republic is not sufficiently liberal to its defenders. Nor has the end of this natlonal gener- oeity been reached. Congress is still giving pensions with a liberal band, in many cases to persons whose claima go back to the early years of the civil war, In more numerous cases to those whose disability is much more recent but is presumed to bé due to military service. The people gladly contribute to every expenditure of this kind that is right and just. There Is no popular objection to a pension roll, large, that is known to be honest and falr. There I8 every reason to believe that such Is its character today and so it should continue to be. RAILWAY SAFETY APPLIANCE A statement prepared by the Inter- state Commerce commission shows the value of the legislation requiring raji- road companies to equip their cars with safety appliances. It is stated that rallroad travel has been made much safer to passengers and employes of the roads since the enforcement of the law requiring the use of safety appli- ances on locomotives and cars. This law ‘went into full effect on August 1, 1800, since which time the number of acci- dents has decreased 50 per cent. This is a very satisfactory showing and gives promlise of a still further re- duction In the annual number of acci- dents, as greater care is exercised to avold them, a considerable proportion of the accidents occurring since the law went into effect belng in what may be called emergency work and to men new in the service. There was a good deal of opposition on the part of the rallroads to this legislation when it was proposed, but its wisdom has been most amply demonstrated and no rail- way company, it is safe to assume, would now be disposed to return to the old system. The legislation necessitated a large outlay by the railroads, but no doubt this has already been more than made up by the reduced number of acci- dents. — DECREASED RISKS AND INCREASED RATES. In its endeavor to justify the recent advance of insurance rates a New York insurance journal lays great stress upon the fact that the rates of fire insurance are not based upon the local risk, but upon the general risk. The lnsurance organ declares that “towns do not in general stand by themselves and caun- not be rated as if they did so stand. Every year big losses may occur some- where and they have to be pald for in a great part by the Insurance com- pany. If the latter could always or generally tell where these visitations would fall the adjusting of premiums would be a much simpler matter than it is now. They can judge approxi- mately how much the fire loss in the United States will be, but how much it will be in the towns and cities they can scarcely guess. Fire insurance has to take the broad look and the range of its work. It has to remind Utica, Nashville, Buffalo and Omaba time and agaln that they are not solitary excep- tions, unique; that they are all related to one another; that they are more or less sharers to a greater or less extent in & common lot and that in no one of them can last year's fire be made a measure of this year's premiums.” This argument sounds very plausible, but how does it explain the rank di- vergence of premiums exacted in cities east and west of the Mississippl? If every locality contributes toward the protection of all the other localities in the country, why should not all be treated allke? Why should the one class of risks In one locality pay a higher rate than the same class of risks is paying in another locality? Why should not insurance rates be uniform In ratio to the class of structures insured? In Omaha, for example, the insurance agents have pressed for more efficient water protection and a larger fire fight- ing force. These demands have been complied with, but fire rates have not been reduced in proportion to the re- duced risk. Another heavy increase in Insurance rates is about to be imposed upon busi- ness men in the face of the preparations being made by the city for an increased fire fighting force and more and better fire extinguishing apparatus, which will entall an additional 1-mill levy for fire protection on the property of all Omaha taxpayers. These stubborn facts are very hard to combat by local fire insur- ance agents when they appeal for patronage to the business men. e—— The franchised corporations made & great mistake when they sought to over- throw the findings of the tax commis- sloner through manipulation of the Board of Review and Board of Equaliza- tion. It would be stupendous folly for them now to seek to override the man- date of the supreme court. They have had a soft snap for the last ten years in the matter of taxation and they should be content with belng placed on a dead level with all other classes of taxpayers. While it is true that a large volume of taxable property is under- valued or allowed to escape taxation altogether, the fault is as much theirs as anybody's. When all taxpayers join the movement to enforce the letter and spirit of the revenue laws the burden will be lightened all around and the tax rate instead of being 84 mills will be anywhere from 15 to 20 mills: —— A copy of a photograph of the Aus- trian emperor labelled “dead” has been taken from an anarchist suspect ar- rested in Italy.

Nebraska is an agricultural state and its towns derive their growth and maintain their stability from the productiveness and development of the surrounding country Richardson county occuples the southeast corner of the state and wae one of the first counties to be settled. Its soll 1Is highly productive and a crop fallure has never been known. The topography of the peculiarly adapted botn to agricultural pursuits and to stockraising. Surrounded by such a country as this, Falle City, the county seat of Richardson county, s risen to its present place among Nebraska county seat towns. The city Is beautifully and healthfully located upon high ground and is typical of the substantial western town that is bullt upon natural resources and with a permanent prosperity resultant from the conservative investment of capital secured first from the development of these resources. When the last census was taken Falls City had a population of 3,022, and it 1s fully abreast of other towns of its elze in the matter of improvements and advant- ages. Two railways afford quick an. easy transportation to Omaha, Kansas City and St. Joseph, thus giving the producers the benefit of the advantages that the markets of these cities afford and bring the ad- vantages of metropolitan life almost to the doors of Falls City homes. The people of Fulls City take great pride in the educa- tional facilities which the town affords. It has an excellent system of graded schools which are on the accredited list of the University of Nebraska, and the work of the schools is supplemented by a busi- ness college and the Ursuline convent. The manutacturing interests of Falls City are represented by a cigar factory that em- ployes eixteen men, a cannlng factory three flouring mills and a foundry The bueiness portion of Falls City s well and substantially built and all lines of business are represented and the mer chants are up-to-date, and there are sev- eral stores that would do credit to much larger citles. The residence portion of the city is equally well bulit and there are many pretentious residences that bespeak the prosperity of their owners. The city owns a fine system of water works and an excellent electric light plant and a local telephone company furnishes the best of eervice to many patrons. A fine public library has just been opened $10,000 having been expended in providing the bullding and books. The library ls the gift of the late Lydia Braun Woods of Denver. When the age of the town s taken Into consideration the fact that there has never been a big business faflure ana that its three banks are among the solid and flourishing financial institutions in the state, the people of Fulls City have just Teasons to be proud of their little city. The town affords abundant oppartunities for the dvantageous investment of capital, as well a8 offering the stranger in search of location a pleasant place to live where the family may take advantage ot good school facllitfes, the uplifting influence of ten churches and all the desirable features of life in a progressive and growing county seat town.

Hailed with Wild Delight. Philadelphia Press. The col'apeible table, containing decan- ters and glasses, to be carried with a bandle llke a satchel, which has been made for King EAward to use at the theaters, cannot be too highly commended nor too widely introduced. Anything that will keep a king or anybody else from climbing over all the people in the row between every act to go out and lay the dust in the throat will be received with wild delight in every etvilized community. Ansesned V tion of Franchises. Buffalo Express. The supreme court of Nebraska has laid down a rule for the assessment of the in- tangible property of corporations which prescribes that the value of its stock in the general market must be taken as a basis. This would seem to imply that the value of a franchise must be determined by subtracting the value of tangible prop- erty from the value of the corporation’s stock. Such & method has been urged by some persons in this state. It would in- crease greatly franchise assessments. P————— Sowing Seeds of Trouble. Philadelphia Record (dem.). Instead of plowing up his garden with his prize heifer and sowing his onion and let- tuce seeds Farmer Bryan is writing po- litical letters and trying to sow dissenson smong the democracy of the east. It seems likely that Mr. Bryan will never be able to torgive his tellow-countrymen for disagree- {ng with him. That he wrong, and that his countrymen were right, and that all of his prodhecies of the disaster which was to follow what he called “the degrada- tion of eflver” have been disproved by the event, make forgiveness still more impos- sible. Silver is selling for less today than ever before since the day of Moses, and the market price of Bryanism has fallen in sympathy. PERSONAL NOTES, Efforts to keep Boston on the stralght and narrow path last Sunday were an ignominious failure. Boston is not bulilt that way. Baxe Martin, though totally blind since the age of 4, has been an active and useful member of the fire department of Port Chester, N. Y., for seventeen years, “run- ning with the machine” to all fires. The late Dr. Thomas Dunn English was & man of very considerable versatility. One of his chief hobbles was mineralogy. He left a cabinet of specimens of great value and his opinions on the subject carried much weight. Dr. Meredith Clymer, the noted New York physician, is dead. His grandfather was one of the signers of the Declaration of In- dependence. He was born in Philadelphia, educated here, in Paris, London and Dublin, removing to New York in 1851. George Clemenceay, who has just been re- elected to the French senate, wrote in his paper, “L'Aurore,” 635 leaders of an aver- sge length of a column and & half, ex- clusively on the Dreyfus case, a record lkely to stand as an example of industry for years to come. Benators Proctor and Frye are famous fishermen. For thirty years Senator Proc- tor has been in Vermont on the last night of April with flehing tackle ready, and for thirty years at sun-up on the lst of May he hae begun casting for speckled trout. He will be there this year. Judgment on & note against Franclszka Radminawiczenebarilla was given In a Pititsburg court. Belween the first and the last names the judge bad to take a brief recess and a glass of bock, and when the ordeal was over the court adjourned for the day under the impression that it had earned its money. Governor Frank White of North Dakota has appointed Friday, May 9, as Arbor day for the state, and especially recommends that “an elm tree be lovingly planted and tenderly cared for upom the ground of every school and public institutien of the state in memory of our martyred president, Wil- Mam Mckaler.* CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES, Ord Journal: A. E. Cady of St. Paul has announced himself as a candidate for con- gress. It will be a warm scrap for the republican nomination. Imperial Republican: While it is argued that Hon. G. W. Norris already holds the responsible position of d!strict judge, yet he is the only candidate this part of the district has for congressman. If the nom- ination should come to this part of the district, give us Norris. The east part of the district has able candidates in Captain Adams, W. P. McCreary and others. O'Neill Frontier: The Frontler stated last week that Hon. W. W. Wood of Rushville was mentioned in connection with the re- publican nomination for congress. We are reliably informed that he is in no sense a candidate for the honor. The fact is, the north end of the district {s practically solid for Hon. M. P. Kinkaid of this city, the man who above all others is capable of redeem- ing in the big Sixth. MecCook Republican: The flattering en- dorsements from all over the district that Hon. G. W. Norris of this city is recelving a8 a possible candidate on the republican ticket for congress is most gratifying to his many friends. Judge Norris is a strong man and would undoubtedly poll the full vote of his party, as well as draw largely from the opposition. Here, at his home, he i one of the most popular men in politics. He wlill probably get the solld support of the county in the convention, judging from the general opinion of the people at present. Rushville Recorder: M. P. Kinkald, re- publican candidate for the Sixth congres- slonal district, of O'Neill, was in town last evening, shaking hands with his many friends. He favored this office with a friendly call, and in the course of his con- vereation referred to his prospects, not only of getting the nomination, but of eventually carrying the district. This fs based on his Pprevious campalgn, in which it was said it he carried the judicial district by 500 he would carry everything. He carried the Judicial by 800 and only had 211 between him and his opponent. Kearney Hub: A speclal telegram from St. Paul states that A. BE. Cady has just authorized the announcement of his candi- dacy for the republican nomination for congress In the Sixth district, with the ad- ditional statement that he will “have the enthusiastic support of his home delega- tlon as well as those from a number of neighboring countles.” As the list now stands we have Beeman and Goodell of Buffalo, Grimes of Lincoln, Currie of Cus- ter, Cady of Howard and Kinkaid of Holt. It & formidable list of strong men from which the conventiom cannot fail to select a winner. St. Paul Republican: Howard county re- publicans will take peculiar pleasure in presenting the name of Hon. A. E. Cady of St. Paul to the Sixth district congressional convention for the nomination which it soon must make. This action has just been authorized by Mr. Cady, who, in compliance with urgent requests from all quarters of the district, has had the matter under con« sideration for several months. In present- ing his candidacy local republicans will feel a pardonable pride on account of the gal- lant race he made in the dark year of 1896, when the free silver mania swept Ne~ braska and the entire west into the demo- cratic column. Lynch Journal: We do not live in the Third congressional district, but it would be a pleasure to.go down there this fall and help elect W. W. Young of Stanton to con- gress. We have known Mr. Young ever since he located in Stanton, at which time we were whittling desks in the second pri- mary department. For years we have be- lieved that Mr. Young ought to be in con- gress and one day would be sent there by the Third district. And mark the predic- tion, when he gets there he will be heard from, not only back home in Nebraska, but the country all over as one of the members of real worth that has convictions on all subjects and is ready to support them. Clay Center Sun: If there {s & man in the dlstrict held in higher esteem by both triend and foe politically than Hon. 8. W. Christy we have not made his acquantance, All know that in congress he would rep- resent the entire people. His honesty s a byword among all who know him, and but few have a more extended acquaintance in the state than he. His ability is un- questioned. His good judgment in public affairs and in his profession is universally recognized. The opposition would have reason to fear his nomination, and It i generally a pretty good thing to do what your political opponents most earnestly de- sire you should not do. Grand Island Independent: The repubM- can candidates for the congressional moms ination in the Sixth district are a strong family. There are among the men mem- tioned three or four very able, very accep- table men and the republicans of the distriet have reason to com § One of the best among them, one who would not only look well, intelligently and con- sclentiously to the interests of his district in the halls of the house, but who would also reflect credit 2nd serve well the inter- ests of the entire state, 1s Hon. A. E. Cady of St. Paul. Directly the people of the Fifth district are not Interested in the outcome. But indirectly they are largely interested and his nomination would tainly be pleasing t¢ many over the ptaf who have had the opportunity to know Mr. Cady personally and appreciate his sterling character and worth. Fairfield News-Herald: The Edgar Post anticipated the feelings of the people of Clay county regardless of party in bringing Hon. 8. W. Christy out for the nominatien foo yepressutative 1o congress.

The popularity of Mr. Christy at home is already well known and recognized in other parts of the district and will prove a great source of strength in the campaign. The nomination of Mr. Chriety will be recognition of the growing demand for clean men in positions of honor and trust, and the party that takes the lead in meeting such demand will command the respect of the best element of our cltizens. Stanton Picket: A very large number of the press and the people of this district freely express the opinion that no stronger or better nomination could be made to con- gress by republicans than Senator W. W. Young. His candidacy, although announced only a few days 0, has made a pro- nounced and favorable {mpression. 'No other candidate for any office has recelved as many or as strong endorsements from the press as has he. Judging from these, from what we know of his standing throughout the district and the fact that his location is most favorable, being in the center of the district, the chances for his nomination are the best of any can- didate in the fleld. This is exactly what fusion politiclans fear and are attempting to prevent. They admit his abllity, his uprightness, his moral courage, his ora- torical powers—all these which eo admira- bly fit him for the position and serve to make him a favorable candidate for his own party and a dangerous opponent for republican opposers. With such a man as the republican candidate they know that it will be the third and final race for Mr. Robinson. Let the republican convention nominate W. W. Young and redemption of the Third congressional district becomes an assured fact. York Republican: It has always been conceded that Hon. E. J. Halner stands among the foremost of the blg, brainy men of Nebraska. When this district had the good forture to be represented by him in congress it was represented by a man whose force and ability were recognized by his colleagues, and when he spoke all listened. He attracted the attention and consideration of the people of the nation; he was an acknowledged leader, a sought- after adviser among big men. He is a man of sterling character, one who can be neither bought nor intimidated. He Is not a mixer. He is not hall-fellow-well- met with everybody, strangers and ac- quaintances allke. You have to go half way to meet him if you want to know him, and when you know him you know that you never met a more genial, Republicans will nominate a good congressman this time. The Repub- lican hopes it will be Mr. Hainer. He is better fitted for the position than any man in the district by reason of his ex- perience in congress. He is fearless and he will do what he belleves to be right though the heavens fall. Such men make big pames for their districts when they have a constituency big enough to place them in congress and leave them there till they have time to accomplish something. tngton Star: *Do you enjoy ragtimoy. * answered Mr. Cumrox, “but I'm o well bred to own up to it except to e and trustworthy friends.’” Chicago Tribune: served Uncle down harder d an’ yit he don’ m de clephunt,” ob- “kin_put his foot animule dat walks, no nofse dofn’ hit.” Philadelphia Press: lo—My dear, what would you think if T should =ay that you were a_harp of a_thousand strings? | She—Probably I would think you: were a yr Chicago Post: Miss Passe was distressed by the hint as to her age. “Yes,” she sald to Miss Pert, concealing her annoyance, “I am old enough to re- member you ag a baby.
