This is doubtless simply the bait for fusion to afford the capital for trading pur- poses. When the political merger is completed, if it should be completed, the democrats will have absorbed the greater number of the places.

TRE DAY WE HONOR. Where is the American who does not honor the natal day of the republic and belleve in the principles for which it stands? Volumes have been uttered during the last few years to the effect that the people of this republic were losing respect for the Declaration of In- dependence, that the reverence they once had for the immortal doctrines of that proclamation of liberty was departing. Few seriously think that this is the case and such as do will find a conclusive answer to the charge in the interest and enthusiasm that will mark the observ- ance of this anniversary throughout the land and wherever the flag of the na- tion floats. All the indications are that Independence day will be celebrated this year as generally, as heartily and as patriotically as in any previous year, thus attesting that the American people now hold the Fourth of July in as great esteem as It has ever been held and are no less devoted to the principles it rep- resents. It is one hundred and twenty-six years gince the founders of the republic threw down their challenge to England in the declaration that the colonies “are, and of right ought to be, independent states.” In that period our free institutions have been subjected to the severest tests and have come out of every trial stronger and more firmly established. No danger threatens them and they will remain se- cure so long as the American people continue as loyal and patriotic as they now are. Reflecting upou the greatness, the glory, the power and the prosperity of our country we shall find abundant reasous for rejoicing on' this anmiver- sary. ———— DISSATISFACTION IN CUBA. There is undoubtedly a good deal of popular dissatisfaction in Cuba, which is not all due to the fact that the United States has not given the new republic the tariff concessions hoped for. The economic situation there is doubtless bad and causes a disquieting feeling as to the immediate future, but there is still the relieving expectation that this gov- ernment will yet do something to help Cuba out of her embarrassing industrial and financial condition. The Cubans know that President Roosevelt has abated nothing of his purpose in this respect and that there s reason to ex- pect that a treaty will be negotiated which may recelve approval of congress at the next session. Another source of dissatisfaction and one which may prove troublesome is po- litical. Already complaints are being made against the administration of Pres- ident Palma, chief of which is that he has discriminated against the negroes in appointments. A meeting of negroes was held a few days ago at Havana at which addresses were made sharply criticising the course of Palma, one of the speakers comparing the president with the Spanish General Callejas, say- ing that the latter was more liberal and democratic than Palma, the president of a democratic republic. Another meeting of negroes at Santlago protested against the course of the administration toward that race. These expressions of dissat- isfaction on the part of an element of the population which is in the majority points to the possibility of serious trouble unless the negroes'are given the recognition they demand. There is in sympathy with this element some men of ability and influence whose counsel it. will be well for the administration to regard. The spirit that is being shown at the very outset of the experi- ment of Cuban self-government suggests that the United States may bave some- thing further to do in the island before the republic is firmly established. Sm—— VINDICATION OF REPUBLICAN POLICY. The statistics of national progress and prosperity during the last five years fur- nish a complete vindication of repub- lican policy. The more striking of these are presented in a speech by Sena- tor Gallinger of New Hampshire, de- livered in the United States senate ten days ago. He pointed out that during the period from 1893 to 1897, whed democratic policy prevailed, there was an annual treasury deficit, necessitating the selling of bonds by the government to the amount of $262,000,000. Under republican policy the revenues of the government were increased and today the national treasury has the largest cash balance and the greatest stock of gold in its history. It is estimated by competent authority tbat during the period of democratic policy 3,000,000 men were out of employment, while the wages of those employed were con- stantly forced down, many working only part time at that. In the last five years there has been nearly all the time full employment for labor and wages have been increased again and agaiu. The rewards of agriculture during the past five years have been the greatest in the history of the country. The official statistics show that the value of the products of the farm. including live stock, in 1901, was greater by $2,000,- 000,000 than in 1806, due to the In- creased price of the products. The higher value for farm commodities is explained by the largely augmented copsumption in the home market, created by the fuller employment and better compensation of labor and the generally prosperous condition of the people. The growth of manufactures during the five years of republican policy since 1596 has been most remark- able. The value of products for 1900 1s given by the census at over §18,000,- 000,000 and it is believed that for 1902 the value of manufactures will reach $15,000,000,000, which is double the out- put of 1865 or 1806. la spite of con- solidations and combinations, the num- ber of manufacturing establishweats in- creased over 44 per cent In the last dec- ade. The largest gains during the last five years have been made In iron and steel, the production of which has more than doubled In this period, placing the United Statés In this particular first among the manufacturing nations. Said Mr. Gallinger: “Phe manufacturing situation today ll the Unitéd States can THE OMAHA be summed up in the statement that practically every mill and factory and shop is working to full capacity, with orders far ahead and prices most satis- factory.” The transportation business last year was very greatly in excess of that of 1806, a fact that shows as strikingly as any other the country's progress and prosperity. Another fact equally im- pressive is found in the bank clearances, which last year were more than double in amount those of 1806. Many other interesting facts evidencing the success of republican policy were presented by the New Hampshire senator, who con- cluded his most instructive speech, all the facts of which were from official sources, as follows: “Our friends on the other side are looking for an issue. They need not worry, the issue is look- ing for them. Prosperity 1s the issue and all other questions are secondary. The American standard of living, Ameri- can manhood and American Lhomes are but the resultants of republican legisla- tion, the sequences of a protective tarift which brought to us and will continue to glve us an unprecedented age of luxury and unparalleled era of prosperity.” Emp——— WHISTLING TV KEEP UP COURAGE. That the democrats who have been countiug on the possibility of democratic control of the next congress are already forced to whistle to keep up their cour- age is plain from the statements given out by the so-styled party leaders on the conclusion of the congressional ses- slon. In a pronunciamento over his name as chairman of the democratic congres- slonal committee Mr. Griggs, who hails from a safely democratic district down in Georgia, can find nothing worse to say than that the session ‘‘controlled absolutely by the republican party, has done many things that people of the country did not want and failed to do many things the people want.” When he comes to specify, however, the fall- ures refer to tariff revision and Cuban reciprocity, two things which the demo- crats would have obstructed whenever attémpted. Mr. Griggs professes to be- lieve that the people demand a revision of the tariff and especlally a reduction of the schedule on trust-made and trust- controlled goods, but he may . be sure that the people are firmly attached to the protective principle and when tarift revision is desired will look to repub- licans as the friends of protection to do the work rather than to democrats who would revise all the protection out of it. Another lament comes from Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas, who is still able to subscribe himself “chairman of the national democratic committee,” al- though repudiated by the democrats of his own state, who have already se- lected his successor. Senator Jones is convinced, in his own mind, that the result of the session has not met the expectations of the country in reducing taxation. The republicans preferred to rescind the payment of the war taxes rather than destroy the tariff as the democrats would have liked, and this constitutes the disappointing feature. Senator Jones, who owes his loss of prestige and power at home, and con- sequent loss of his senatorial seat, to his identification with the Round Cot- ton Bale trust, has the audacity also to complain that the trust question has been passed over without congressional action, as if the action of President Roosevelt under existing anti-trust laws were not quite sufficlent to indicate the firm attitude taken by the republicans against trust evils and trust abuses. If these two democratic leaders are advance agents for the tale of woe on which democrats hope to gain control of the next congress, the party may as well admit now that it is heavily handi- capped and concede that nothing short of a miracle will give us a democratic house for the Fifty-eighth congress. cEmE——— The completion of a double track rail- way between Omaha and Chi¢ago marks a decided advance in the development of transportation facilities in the west. Many Nebraskans recall the day when passengers left the railroad at Boone and journeyed the remaining distance to the Missouri river by stage. Now the ploneer railroad, the Chicago & North- western, which thén traversed but half way across the state of Iowa, has two sets of steel rails stretching from Omaha to Chicago to provide for only its share of the constantly increasing commerce flowing between these two centers of in- dustrial activity. The other roads must soon all follow suit—in fact, some of them are doing 80 now—and eventually double track railroads will be the regu- lar thing everywhere. Nebraska is again demonstrating that it can come out of a protracted spell of elther drouth or wet weather with less real damage to growing crops than any other agricultural region. This fortu- nate recuperative ability is due to favor- able soll conditions, which enable the vegetation supported to resist heat and shed water quickly that otherwise would produce disastrous results. States to the east of us have not had as much rain- fall as Nebraska, but the moisture clings longer, thus working damage that can- not be made good by subsequent dry- nmess. As an agricultural state, Ne- braska yields to none. The government census of the sur- vivors of the buffalo discloses a sad state of fast approaching extinction of these once useful animals. So far as they existed in a wild state, the work of extinction is practically completed and the doumgsticated buffalo is but a shadow of the real thing. The loss of the buffalo, however, is now siwply a case of spilled wmilk over which there is no un crying. em————— The Open Door. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The Texas senator is entirely too sensitive. He showed more temper than judgment, more excitement than courage, more anger than sense. The affair is to be regretted, and by none more than Senator Bailey's friends. Portland Oregonian. The Carnegie Steel company has volun- tarily Increased by 10 per cent the wages paid to mearly 15,000 unskilled laborers in its service. An event of this kind in the labor world attracts very little comment beyond the merest mention. A reduction of 10 per cent in any instance, on the con- trary, is heralded far and wide, met by a strike and perhaps followed by a boycott. We all know something of the tendency ot buman mature to remain silent in the pres- ence of generous deeds and speak out in loud condemnation of those that are even seemingly ungenerous. If proof of this tendency were wanting this citation would turnish it. WHERE GRIEF ABOUNDS. “Ye that Have Tears to Shed, Prepare to Shed Them Now.” New York Evening Post. Now that King Edward is recovering, public sympathy is mnaturally expending itself on the people who prepared for the coronation and were disappointed. Americans, of course, are most deeply touched by the misery of those women of American birth who bought new gowns and now have no chance to wear them. Can any man with & heart {n.his bosom remain dry-eyed after reading these har- rowing dotails? '—— had a new coronet even more maj pificent than the blg, pearl-tipped tlara she has hitherto worn at court.

They will surely invent some of bringing thess bushels of diamonds and pearls and these acres of gold embroidery before the longing eyes of the public. They can count upon the earnest co-operation of their ad- miring friends on this side of the water, who are always profoundly gratified whe: ever an American woman can dress so as to create a sensation in Europe. wol ISSUES THAT WILL NOT STAY PUT. Feeble Roar Through a hone, Demoeracy’s Congressional Me, Philadelphia Pre Our democratic friends have great dim- culty in making and keeping thelr lssues. President Roosevelt said in ome of his Washington speeches that the flag will “stay put.”” That is why it is wholly un- like democratic issues. They won't “stay put” Three months ago the democrats i con- gress decided to make the Philippine ques- tion paramount. They determined to fight the coming congressional and presidential battles on that line. In their delusion they thought the conditions were propitous tor this policy. Just at the moment the exaggerated reports of the water cure and distorted stories of cruelty produced an ephemeral feeling of restiveness which the ecager democratic leaders mistook for a re- action against the Philippine policy of the government. This manifestation was rested chiefly upon fiction; in the very transient; it JULY 4, nature of the case it could not last. But the democratic managers immediately selzed upon it as the foundation of a fixed policy and the basis of a national cam- paign. They framed thelr scheme in minute detail; they formulated a complete plan down to the smallest particulars of organizing an independent Philippine na- i tion, withdrawing American control and engaging all the great powers to keep hands off. This plan was put forth with loud trumpetings, and it was ostentatiously proclaimed that this question was to be made the pre-eminent issue on which the democratic party would fight for control of congress and the government. In furtber- ance of this program they entered upon the most extended debate of the fon and consumed many weeks in the discussion. What is the outcome? On Friday night the democratic members of the house met in conference to outline party lssues for the coming congressional campalgn. They adopted & series of lutions setting forth what they mow conceive to be U strong points that can be made against the republican majority, and, strangely enough, these resolutions nejer once mention the Philippines! They sre devoted wholly to the failure of Cuban reciprocity, and to the subjects of tariff and trusts. The demo- cratic leaders have found that the Philip- plne issue as they made it up would not “stay put.” Ite assumed facts were fictions 4 its policy of scuttle was repugnant to the American . The other lssues will be found equally futile. 1902. BITS OF WASHINGTON LIFE. Minor Scenes a ® ents Nketehed the Spot. Scenes of uncommon interest were enacted in the national capitol during the closing hours of congress which the tumult and the shouting of relieved congressmen did not wholly eclipse. “Probably the United States is the only country in the world,”” says the Chicago Record-Herald correspondent, “that could present such a scene as we saw in the president's room at 5 o'clock this (Tuesday) afternoon. This gorgeous Apartment—one of the show places of the big capitol—is just off the senate chamber. The president had just come from the laying of the cornerstone of a church, and congress had had to walt an hour and a half for him. He sat down at a table and seven of the members of his cabinet gathered about. “‘Officials of the senate and house laid before Mr. Roosevelt many bills and reso- lutions, to which he afixed his signature W.

He was supposed to consult the members of his cabinet, but he did not. He went it alone, and signed his name as fast as he coyld make his fingers move. The members of the cabinet saw that they were not needed, and so they drifted off to the edges of the room to chat and smoke. “Boxes of cigars were at hand and also a blg bowl of lemonade. Semators and representatives and newspaper correspond- ents and page boys came in and there was a general renewal of acquaintanceship and a right good feeling all around. The presi- dent joked and exchanged sallies with beet sugar senators while aflixing his signature to the big, formidable looking bills. Cigar smoke was everywhere. Laughter was a truly democratic crowd, a chi istic American gathering. There w. nity enough, but no stiffness. ‘And business was done in an easy, comfortable way." “There 18 only one provision I want in this bill,” said Chairman Hepbufn of the house conference committee to the senators who were advocating the Panama route. “1 want it to contain a provision making it mandatory upon the commissioners to live on the {sthmus of Panama.” “Why do you want (hat sort of a fool clause in the bill?" inquired Senator Hanna. “Because,” said Mr. Hepburn, “among the thousands of graves of laborers build ing the canal I want to see the grave of an American canal commissioner here and there. It would be a monument to our ua- selfish purpose as well as to the Panama climate.” The senate conferces refused to grant Mr. Hepburn's request and now he is say- ing that they admitted that Panama was ne place for a white man to live, A time-honored feud exists between Colonel Montgomery, the chief of the White House telegraph force, and Arthur Sim- mons, one of the colored doorkeepers. Colonel Montgomery has served at the ‘White House telegraph wire continuously since 1877. Arthur has opened doors for every president, with the exception of Har- rison, elace the days of Lincoln. The cramped quarters in the temporary White House are the cause of the numerous clashes that are taking place between these anclent foes. The other day Colonel Mentgomery was in a hurry to get to the telegraph room, which is on the top floor of the new building. As he hurried down the narrow hall he jostled Arthur. A heated argument followed, dur- ing which Simmons asserted that he was deserving more consideration, for, besides being an old man, he was a member of one of the first familles of Virginia. “Yes," retorted Montgomery, “‘one of the first to rush to Washington and get a job after Lincoln had emancipated you." “Huh,” returned Arthur, “you got your Job without ever bein' 'mancipated.” The firet Cuban minister, Senor Gonzalo de Quesada, and his ily have taken apartments at Chevy Ch: inn, In the near suburbs of Washington, pending the selec- tion of a permanent home for the legation. ‘The minister’s wife is yet in her early 20s —a typical Cubana who speaks no English. They have one child, an infant daughter named Aurora. Senor Quesada Is very small, very dark, with the ‘“soulful” eyes of the Creole, long hair brushed straight back from a dlsproportionate broad brow, the most ladylike hands and feet ever seen on a man, of whose smallness rumor says he is rather proud. Of all the peculiar ways of making a liv- ing in Washington there is one man who is unique. He is an old German and he says that he is a “chiropodist to canary birds The old fellow goes about cutting the talons or claws of canary birds. Birds in captivity are unable to keep their talons to the proper length and they curl up, causing the bird great paln. If they are not properly cut the bird is likely to die, and this old man goes from house to house trimming the birds’ talons. Representative McAndrews of Chicago tells a story showing the way Washington botels are conducted. “I was paying the hotel nearly my entire lary as a congressman for my meals and lodging,” he sald, “when I becam: indisposed and called a physician. He de- cided that the Washington climate did not agree with me and preseribed a tonic. After 1 bad secured the medicine I found that 1 bad no teaspoon with which to measure the dose, so I went to the hotel cafe for ope. They gave me one of thos plated affairs that sell for about 60 cents a dozen. The medicine corroded it badly, but I must confess that I was somewhat shocked to see an item on my monthly Dbill of $1.25 for the teaspoon. The hotel keepers have got so much nerve here that guests have not the heart to kick." “There are many kinds of ralment from day to day in the hous s the Wash- ington Post, “but Judge Stark of Nebraska is decidedly unique. When he needed a cool suit for his rounded figure he bought a sult of khaki in a local establishment and had it built on broad proportions. He looms up like a lone soldier on the horizon of the hall, designated by the rear row of seats. “Just in front of him sits Mr. Adamson of Georgla, who revels in a hand-me-down linen costume. There is one unfailing sign about Mr. Adamson. That is when he is going to make a speech. No matter how bot the day, if Mr. Adamson intends to talk, he discards the linen costume and blossoms forth in black cutaway, with & white vest.” PERSONAL NOTES. British surgery appears to have won & royal triumph. About the biggest bear in the Chicago graln pit is “0ld Indications.” Rear Admiral Walker is spoken of as likely to be made president of the Panama Canal commission. Prof. Hellprin, the man who knows most about the Mont Pelee eruption, declares he knows nothing about it.
