D, 1903. 9 %, HORGATE, (Beal.) Notary Public. E————— Have you enlisted under the banner of Ak-Sar-Ben IX? Don't walt to be urged. EEpe—————— Omaha druggists will gladly forego the after-Fourth trade in lint, bandages and arnica. Nothing blue about Yale after its yic- tory over Harvard except the color of its banner. ‘We believe some people would actually rejoice if Olity Treasurer Hennings' col- lection van were taken in for scorching. SRt —— The campaign for equal taxation goes merrily on. There may be occaslonal sotbacks, but substantial progress is be- ing steadily marked. Owing to a short supply of hydrant water and a full supply of fire water Kansas Ofty police authorities have de- elded to suppress Fourth of July explo- sives. E——— There can be no greater offense against the government than a breach of trust on the part of a public officlal or a dis- honest management of his office.—Theo- dore Roosevelt.

Does it take a permit in the city of Chicago for an alderman to sport a bay window of his own? emm————— Denmark has formally accepted the in- vitation to participate in the St. Louis exposition on behalf of the Danish West Indies. It might put the islands them- welves on exhibition with the price marks attached and possibly find buyers. It took the Kansas legislature less than forty-elght hours to pass fifty bills, but the expeditious Kansas legislature could not overcome its consclentious scruples against voting rellef for the flood suffer- ers o long as contributions from outside stites remained in sight. Eeeeaee—— While the prestidigitator tells his audience to watch the handkerchief, his nimble assistant makes away with the ring. It is just possible that some of the people who are crying so loudly about scandals in the Postoffice departwment may be imitating the prestidigitator. Now that the South Omaha Board of Review has concluded its labors the Cpunty Board of Equalization will be in position to revise the assessment returns of South Omahu to correspond as far as possible with the valuation placed upon the various properties in the twin city by its local board. — 1f ‘the foreign wministers stationed in Belgrude do not like to associate with King Peter no coerclon will be exerted upon them. If, however, they wanted to draw the line at woyalty otcupying thrones upon titles resting on assassina- tion, they might feel uncomfortable in AN UNPHOFITABLE THUST. It appears that the International Mer- cantlle Marine company, better known as the North Atlantic Shipping trust, one of J. P. Morgan's enterprises, has not been profitable and is now threat- ened with either disintegration or reor- gunization on a different basis. On July 1 the semi-annual interest will be due on the $50,000,000 of 414 per cent bonds and while this undoubtedly will be pald, it is not expected that any dividends will be pald at this time on the pre- ferred stock, In which event confidence in the merger will necessarily be very mwuch shaken. It is pointed out that when this com- biflation was formed freights were high and the demand for shipping facilities was in excess of the supply. Now facili- ties are abundant, the demand bas de- crensed and freights have materially de- clined. The merger has also received a somewhat severe blow in the with- drawal of the British Cunard line from the Atlantic traffic agreement, which means a more vigorous competition and possibly a rate war. In explanation of its action the Cunard company stated that it felt there are too many ships in the trade, that the supply exceeds the demand and tbat there can be no rellef from the existing situation without the withdrawal of the extra tonnage which had been put into the trade by its com- petitors. The company therefore de- cided to place itself in a position where it can protect its sharc of the trade. There is reason to belleve that the Brit- ish government had something to do with bringing about this decision, as that government had become an ally, at least indirectly, of the Cunard corporation, un- doubtedly with a view to weakening if not overthrowing the combination. At all events the withdrawal of the Cunard company from the traffic agreement must inevitably impair the strength of the combination and may have conse- quences disastrous to it. It is pointed out that what the future holds for the combined lines s largely dependent on the revival of the export trade and it seems there is no anticipation of this for the near future. It is said that at pres- ent cargoes are comparatively dificult to find and this situation makes it prob- able that there will be a further lower- ing of freights. It has been effectually shown, as was predicted by many when the Shipping trust was formed, that no monopoly can be created to control ocean traffic, and it looks very fhuch as if the financial genius of Mr. Morgan is to be severely tested in connection with the malinte- nance of the shipping merger. All was well so long as the conditions at the time the combination was organized con- tinued, but a change from these has brought this enterprise face to face with a grave dilemma and it remains to, be scen whether its promoter will be able to save it from disintegration and perhaps disaster. If he should not be, the effect will be exceedingly damaging to his prestige, already becoming ‘some- what dimmed. THE COURTESIES AT KIBL. Thé cordial reception accordéd the American squadron at Kiel and the hearty interest shown by Emperor Wil- llam in the event has afforded another attestation of Germany friendliness that our people will duly appreciate. It is now apparent that the Washington au- thorities were wise in reconsidering their first intention not to have the squadron’| visit Kiel, the chief German naval sta- tion, for the visit cannot fail to con- tribute, in no small degree, to that good will which it is so desirable to cultivate Dbetween the two countries. The courtesy and hospitality of the emperor could not have been finer and his dispatch to President Roosevelt was in the best spirit, clearly evidencing the sincere gratification which the presence of our squadron in German waters uad given the emperor. He found something in- structive, also, in his inspection of the battleship Kearsarge and in the person of Adwmiral Cotton he met an old sea fighter who could give him and the best of his naval officers some points. The Kiel incident is in all respects pleasing and will have a good influence. ‘We have not shown Germany much of our navy, but what they have seen In this European squadron has undoubtedly made a favorable impression. The squadron is going to Portsmouth, where doubtless English courtesy and hospi- tality will be as hearty and cordial as that accorded it by the Germans. THE PETITION TO THE CZAR. The decision of President Roosevelt to transmit to the Russlan government the petition of the Jewish organization re- lating to the Jews in Russia will be ap- proved by American public opinfon. As pointed out by Secretary Hay, the presi- dent cannot tell what reception the peti- tion will meet with. It is not at all probable that it will ever be seen by the czar and it is quite possible that the Russian officlals will refuse to re- celve it. This, it is to be inferred from the dispatches, is rather expected at Washington. But in any event the president will have performed a duty in behalf of a numerous body of American citizens who ought to be heard in the interest of millions of their people in Russia. What effect the sending of the petition will ‘have upon Russian feeling toward the United States is uncertain. It ap- pears to be apprehended that there will be some resentment and this is by no means unlikely. Of course this has been several other European courts. ——— Advance estimates figure that the de- mwand for steel ralls next year will re- quire an output even greater than for the present year. The mere replacement due to the wear and tear of our great raflroad systems is enough to keep the mills ordinarily busy, to say nothing of the new construction. The iron and steel industry is sure to expand if only to keep up with the present cond! carcfully considered at Washington. here is, however, no really gool reason why Russia should take offense at this action. It Involves no interference on the part of our governmeat with the Internal affairs of that empire. It is simply an effort to enable American citizens, concerned in the welfare of their kindred people, to make a proper protest against the persecution of those people where such a protest may be ef- fective. Our government will assuwme no responsibility in connection with the petition. It will merely ask that it be recelved and if the Russian government refuses that wiil end the matter. There 18 certainly mo good reason why this should impair the friendly relations be- tween Russia and the United States. OMAHA'S PARAMOUNT NEED. The Chicago Great Western railroad will be completed to the Missouri river and In full operation within forty days. The objective point of the Great West- ern is Omaha, and its managers may be depended upon to overcome all obstacles now in the way of its entrance into Omaha by the time the road is in cohdi- tion for through traffic. While the railroad facilities between Omaba and Chicago over the existing five trunk lines are ample, the opening of a sixth trunk line cannot fail to prove of material advantage to Omaha jobbers, packers and manufacturers. The imme- diate effect of its completion will be the addition of new trade territory in Town, and the inevitable sequence of competi- tion between the Stickney system and the other lowa rallroad systems will be a more liberal adjustment of freight rates for shippers of all classes. With six independent trunk lines between Omaba and Chicago, Omaha will enjoy tmnsportation facilities to the Great Lakes and the Atlantic seaboard second to no city west of the Mississippl. The paramount need of Omaha in the near future is, however, more mills and factorles that will convert the raw ma- terials into finished products and afford steady employment to working men and working women. Jobbing alone will not bulld up a city, neither will trading in Jack-knives with each other materially increase the retail trade. Omaba must increase the ranks of the army of pro- ducers In order that it may enjoy the benefits of increased consumption. In other words, the future growth of Omaha depends upon its ability to aug- ment its industrial activity. Superior distributing facilities alone will not suffice to bulld up a great city. We must have not only an attractive merchan- dise market in surrounding territory. but a home market to supply the needs of the bread winners. —— The responsibility for the management of the rallroad tax cases In the federal courts will be with the mayor and city council and not with the Real Estate ex- change. If the final decision goes against the city for lack of expert legal talent it will be very little comfort to attach the blame for disastrous failure to the Real Estate exchange or any other com- mercial body not directly responsible for municipal government. Tax litigation is a gpecialty and the city must neces- sarily ‘'employ an attorney who has not only the ability but ghe experience that will enable him to grapple successfully with-the issues involved. S —— The rejection by the House of Lords of the bill striking out of the coronation onth the medieval relic pledging the soverelgn to maintain the Church of England against the machinations of the pope of Rome indicates what a hold his. toric usage has upon modern nations. The coronation oath translated into in- telligible twentieth century language would sepve just as well, but it would lose the/aroma of age which seems to constitute its chief defense. The Canadians are objecting to the ac- tion of the imperial government buying cattle in the United States for restock- ing the Boer farms. The Canadlans for- get that the imperial government is com- mitted to free trade and that the es- sence of free trade is to buy in the cheapest market. The imperial purchas- ing agents doubtless discovered that they could get better animals at lower prices in the United States than they couldIn Canada. The Dubuque street car strike, begun on the 6th of May, was settled on the 23d of June by the special arbitration committee of the Business Men's club with mutual satisfaction to all parties concerned. It might just as well have been settled the first week, or for that matter it could havg been averted had arbitration been accepted as the short cut to the amicable adjustment of differ- ences between employer and employe. —— The distribution of birthday honors with which King Edward celebrates the anniversary of hig natal event is to be unusually long this year. It took King Edward so long to get started with this royal prerogative that he feels it in- cumbent to make haste, if he is to get around the circle of his friends and fa- vorites. oying Activity.

Louls Globe-Democrat Omaha is rejolcing over the wiping out of the bridge arbitrary at that point, and the rallroads as well as the oity find the ‘Washington Post. President Baer's declaration that the Reading rallroad has never earned any money furnishes the stockholders of that company another lesson on the difference between a divide and a dividend. Wateh the Home Guard. Chicago News. It seems rather foolish to expect & man in King Peter's position to feel worried about being snubbed by the powers. In a country where unpopular monarchs are bored full of holes a little thing like a snubbing ought not to seem serious. Bett Loyal and Judicious Leader. Philadelphia North American Mitchell's sense of public responsibility was shown In his tactful handling of the convention of ang 'y miners, by which con- fiict was averted. His unselfish devotion to the Interests of the men who have given him their confidence and loyal support is proved by his rejection of an offer of \ $0,000 for & course of lectures. Only an earnest, well-polsed man ocould have re- sisted the flattering temptation of such an offer. Mitchell has stood all tests up to date, and the judgment and good faith of his defamers are sadly discredited. Honest Folk in Demand. Boston Transcript. If the Missouri republicans should nomi- nate Circult Attorney Folk for governor it would rather interfero with his eligibliity as a democratic nominee for the presidency —and this is all the sadder because he seemed, for a day, to be the much-desired candidate with whom the two wings of the democracy could flap together, Eecentricities Explained, Chicago Chronicle. Revelatiens in the current misunderstand- ing between Napoleons of finance in the hipbullding line go far to explain some hitherto puzzling circumstances. It is easy to see, for instance, that a gentleman who has unloaded upon his associdtes for $27,- 000,000 property which at a liberal estimate may be worth $3,000,000 1s likely to experi- ence an exuberance of spirits which might lead him to buy champagne for the entire population of a French village or try te run an automobile wp the steps of a cathe- dral. Such a gentleman would not be crazy, but merely effervescent. ——— Dakota’s Graduates, Bdston Transcript. All the world loves the graduating classes at this season of the year and finds it In- teresting to inspect them oceasionally from one view point or another fo see wherein they resemble or differ from those that have preceded them. Almost every class has something about it, however, that dis- tingulshes it from its contemporaries or its predecessors. In the case of the University of Dakota, which has just awarded fifty- one diplomas to the graduates from the several departments, it's the cosmopolitan character of the list of names that catches one's attention. Almost every natlonality under the sun is represented there, though the majority seem to belong to Scandina- vians. All told the list is a convincing testimonial to the abllity of this country to take e of and eduéate all the new comers who choose to make it their adopted home. . WOULDN'T STAND FOR IT, ¥ Lean and Vitriolle Missourian Flays the Peerloss. Atlanta Constitution (dem.). Mr. Bryan assumed recently to read ex- Governor Lon V. Stephens of Missouri out of the democratic party because the latter expressed his desire to see David R. Francls of 8t. Louls the democratic nominee for president in 1904. Commenting on this Mr. Bryan sald some very tart things personal to Mr. Stephens and his loyalty to the party. Mr, Lon Stephens is little, but he is leud. He wears glasses, but can see a long way with them. He is a featherwelght in bulld, but a catamount in a sudden scrap. He has got money to burn and backbons to lean upon. His record as a .dlssouri demo- crat of the honest, wool-hat, last ditch or- der has been unimpeachable up to date. It is little wonder, then, that this “Wasp of Booneville” promptly figw back at Mr. Bryan with some stinging remarks upon the latter's authority to read anybody out of the democratic party and to control the individual preferences of those who have sacrificed in the party service.to the party's prestige and success. Of. that jatter class Mr. Stephens is a consplcuous example. The excoriation he handed out to Mr. Bryan need not be repeated here. It was largely personal, but it is Indicative of the restive spirit of many democrats over the attempts of Mr. Bryan to figure as the Sir Oracle of the democratio party. While Mr. Bryan has yet ashost offriends:and- ad- mirers in the party, men who would resent any Injustice attempted upon him and his followers in 1898 and 1900, the fact grows more apparent dally that the party at large does not feel bound by any valid obligation to allow him the censorship of its person- nel and platform in the coming national campalgn. “TOY PISTOL” WOUNDS, Some Don’ts Designed to Prevent Willle Blooming on the Hillside, Chicago, Record-Herald. “Keep all wounds open till properly cleaned and dressed bv a_physiclan” is the warning sent out by Chicago physicians and emphasized by the department of pub- lic health in its bulletins, This advice is not called out by any im- pending “clash at arms” or skirmish with the Indians. There s no threatened out- break among the redskins, and the Span- ish-American war is over. The “wounds" reférred to are Fourth of July wounds caused by toy pistols, cannon crackers, tor- pedoes and other murderous devices used in celebrating Independence day. The ad- vice might strike the ordinary law-ablding citizen as unnecessary in view of the city ordinances and the proclamation of the mayor forbidding the sale of the so-called “toy pistols” and other dangerous explo- sives. But the fact that several victims of the toy pistol habit have already been recorded, and theJourth pearly two weeks' distant, shows that the warning is neces- sary and timely. Indeed, it appears that ‘| 1arge numbers of toy pistols are being dis- posed of secretly In Chicago in spite of the police embargo against them. The most dangerous disease resulting ! trom improperly treated wounds caused by the explosion of gunpowder is lockjaw, and the warning of the health bureau is in- | tended to avert the possible consequences of carelessness in this regard. In case of a blank cartridge or gunpowder wound the advice of the physiclans is to keep the wound open until it can be properly cleaned with antiseptics and dressed by a compe- tent surgeon. Closing the wound before it 1s properly cleaned and excluding the air is tavorable to the multiplication and activ- ity of lockjaw germs. While this advice is vaiuable and timely it should also serve to impress the police with the necessity for vigorous enforce- ment of the ordinance against the sale of these pistols. LADY HERBERT FRIGHTENED Loses for Few Hours a Hag Contain- ing Jewels Worth Fortune. NEWPORT, R. L, June %.—Despite the delightful farewell that members of the British embassy gave Lady Herbert, wife of the British ambassador, upon her de- parture from Newport for New York, whence she salls for England shortly, her journey was greatly disturbed by the loss of & satchel containing jewels worth $15,000 A servant in whose care the satchel had been placed laid it beside the steps of a restaurant on the dock. The employes about the dock and restaurant supposed someone would claim the bag, never dream- ing It contained anything of value. Finally the ticket agent carried it to the freight room and (nrew it into a corner. When an agent of the ambassador rushed up and demanded the return of the grip several hours later and told what it con- talned there was consternation among the men who had been kicking a fortune about the platform. Sir Michael Herbert, the British ambas- sador at Washington, and Lady Herbert salled today on Celtic for Liverpool. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS ‘The comments upon the Kishineft horror of the eminent soclallst, M. Jaures, vice president of the French Chamber of Dep- uties, will not be read with pleasure in Russia, least of all by M. de Plehve. He says that these outrages are a disgrace to official Russia, by whom they were organized or tolerated, and will be a dis- grace to the whole country unless the Ruesian people enter a vehement protest Against them and succeed in preventing thelr repetition. After a short survey of the dedds commifted, M. Jaures points out that these acts of savagery were not the result of a spontaneous movement, or the consequence of an economic confliot be- tween the Christian and Jewish population. No doubt, he says, attempts have been made to excite the Christlan workman against Jewish competition, but if they helped to promote the movement they did not creato it. What provoked the slaugh- ter is the systematic spirit of savage reac- tion let loose by the Russian government - A vast amount of discontent has been caused in Spain by the reactionary polioy of the government At the last election, one of the princlpal things promised was the increased home rule for municipali- tles, and recently with a great blare of trumpets the government brought forward a bill to that end. When, however, the bill was read it was found that Instead of Increasing home rule, just the com- trary end was intended. The bill went even so far as to violate the famous con- stitution of Cadiz of 1812. It “practically put the municipalities under the control of the minister of the Interior at Madrid, And yet In spite of bad government and inefMclent lawmakers, in spite of the pes- simism which is betrayed on every side, the unanimous testimony of skilled observers s that Spain is progressing as it never has before. “It is no longer the romantic land sung of by the Gautlers and Victor Hugos,” says the Madrid correspondent of the London Times. “Electricity fn the houses, admirable electric tramways in tho streets good roads, and industrial devel- ment In Catalonia, Guipozcoa and Viz- caya, with which the outh of France hus nothing to compare, a capital where there are no Parisian ‘apaches,’ a rallway sys- tem the most exasperatingly dilatory in Europe, yet rapidly increasing its trafic (the companies' profits during the first three months of the current year are 9,000,000 pesetas more than during the same period last year)—all these facts are s0 many signs that In spite of the belated political organization of Spain, in spite of the dootrinaire character of political pro- grams, yet as the Diaro sald recently ‘far from the state, outside of the state, in spite of the state, the country is develop- ing, becoming richer and more progres- stve. e A curfous and Interesting movement has been started in Germany which has for ity object the smoothing away of all difficul- ties brought between France and Germany by Alsace-Lorraine. Although its member- ship is purely German, it is called the Franco-German league. Its purpose 18 to settle the question of Alsace-Lorraine by a solution equally satisfactory aod honorable to both parties. To bring this about there are“four ways, only one of which is pos- sible, France cannot consent to the main- tenance of present conditions. Germany would not consent to a restoration of the territories. A neutralization of the prov- inces would be a loss to Germany and no profit to France. So the league recom- mends that Germany glve France that part of the provinces which speaks French, keeping the others to herself and in return France give to Germany some island or islands or French colony. It is hardly nec- essary to say that the scheme has been thought out by college professors. e Some account has been given already of various popular demonstrations against Austria which have occurred recently In different parts of Italy. It appears that the House of Deputles itselt very nearly be- came the scene of an irredentist manifesta- tion about ten days ago. Various radical deputies had assalled the government on the ground that unnecessary violence had been used in the dispersion of public mea:j ings, and that the closing of certain the: ters was an abuse of authority. Then Signor Barzilal, one of the most {nfluential members of the extreme left, in the course of an lmpassioned argument, asserted that the government had no right to suppress what, on the very face of it, was a popular movement. This assertion was received with enthusiastic cheers, and for a moment or two it looked as if the whole chamber might be stampeded. Dut common sense prevalled, and, as it soon became apparent that the government could command a ma- Jority, Signor Barzilal and his friends re- frained from bringing so delicate a subject to the test of a division. o The significance of the Parllamentary elections in Germany cannot be fully ap- preclated without taking Into consideration the fagt that all men are not equal before the law In the kalser's empire. Certain classes of voters have greater rights than others, and aye permitted to cast two, three or more ballots, according to their rank or wealth. Needless to say, the privileged franchise holders are mostly adherente of the government and members of the con- servative parties. The officlal returns show- ing that the soclal democrats polled 2,911,- 7 votes mean that they constitute more than one-half the total number of electors in Germany, and that under a “one man one vote™ thing before them. They have gained $00,000 recrults since 1599, and their ultimate con- trol of the Relchstag is a certalnty. PERSONAL NOTES, King Peter of Servia has ordered a red automobile.

At & time when material success Is so generally regarded as the chiet goal of hu- man effort it is interesting to find a man in President Hadley's position presenting argu- ments for a broader view of the question. In his baccalaureate sermon the president of Yale offered the graduates some advice which at least they should find stimulating. He does not dlscredit or discourage the am bition for practical success, but he makes it plain that in his view there 18 danger in measuring ‘success in life “by the concrete results with which men can credit them- selves.” should value life,” he de- clares, ,‘las a fleld qf action.” We should ‘‘care !nr the doing of things quite as mueh as for the results.” Tried by this standard, aspiration and effort are to be more highly prized than achievement itself. The man who sincerely strives for a great object has succeeded, whether or not the object is at- tained or its attainment brings any tangible reward. It 1s no novelty, of course, to hear a col- lege president upholding ideal standards and rejecting utilitarian views of success, but few of the educators have cared to fol- low their theories, as President Hadley does, to their logical conclusion. Probably a majority of them would applaud Nansen's courage in attempting to reach the North Pole, but would question the utility of the attempt. President Hadley adinires Nan- sen simply “because he succeeded in get- ting 30 much nearer the pole than anybody before him ever id,” and thinks it is one of the most dlscouraging testimonies to the false standards of the nineteenth century that Nansen feels compelled to justify his expedition on the basis of its sclentific re- sults. Furthermore, a man who tries tq get to the pole is engaged in a glorious play, “which justifies more risk and more expenditure of life than would be war- ranted for a few miserable entomological specimens, however remote from the place where they had previously been found.” The young man of today has no lack of exhortation to lead the life of strenuous effort. It is as well that he should be taught also that the reward for this effort will be barren It the whole object sought be material benefit for himself. Lifo is something to be used. Whether or not it has been successfully used depends not on the results so much as on the object sought and t rnestness of the seeking. It is somewhat novel to find an American college president expounding! this philos- ophy to his students, but.the philosophy is, on the whole, helpful.
