Spseaptennans—— The democratic campaign in Kentucky has been formally opened. Just what else the distinguished orators opened besides their mouths is not told in the dispatches. E——— The session of the American Mining congress at Deadwood Is a reminder that the Black Hille country has again be: come the most important mining dis- trict in the United States. Smemep— Any other country but Turkey that confessed its inability to protect the for- elgn ministers at its court would speedily find itself under a protectorate strong enough to protect.

EE——— James J. Hill denies that he has any intentions to build a raliroad to Lgbra- dor. He should at the same time deny that he has a scheme to merge all the moonbeams radiating toward this planet. The unanimity with which the social- ists made up their county ticket nomi- nations shows that they have no ex- pectation of electing any one. Where there are spolls in sight there is sure to be a fight. SEe—p———— In the coming judicial races candi- dates are expected to register and speak for their capacity for issuing injunctions. A man who cannot issue at least ten infunctions a day had bet- ter get off the track. pep—— The Nebraska Indépendent says It took the work of “the blggest man in the United States” to procure the re- pudiation of the Denver manifesto by the Grand Island conventlon. Is it possible the state of Bryan boasts two biggest men? em—— Candidates for nomination on the republican ticket have until next Thurs- day noon to plank down their eptrance fee and file their solemn pledge that they will not run on the democratic ticket if they are defeated in the repub- lican convention. i1 The great bogie besetting our demo- cratic friends is the fear that the loeal republican factions may all get to- gether eventually in support of the republican’ nominees. - That dreaded contingency means certain defeat for overy candidate bearing the democratic label. SE— French courts are struggling with the problem whether the property destroyed in the Pelee eruption was destroyed by fire or by'some other agency not con- templated in the fire risk. In view of the fact that In such a case cirewmn- stantial evidence alone must be relied on, the judgment must depend on which LABOR'S CELEBRATION. Today will be observed throughout the country by the great army of organized labor and this public holiday is one In which all the people have learned to take a deep interest, because it is really one of the most significant eccasions of the year. On this day the country is reminded of whbat a great force in the body politic organized labor has grown to be and also of the fact that it Is stendily increasing in strength and In influyence. The celebration will suggest to the thoughtful reflections in regard to the material and moral power of this mighty force and what may be its dufies and obligations, not alone to labor, but as well to that which employs labor and to the public interests and welfare, This annual labor celebration ought to be fruitful of good results. It should conduce to a wider and better knowl- edge of the condition and needs of the laboring classes and a more friendly re- lation. between- the employe and.the em- ployer; between labor and capital. No intolligent and unprejudiced person ean doubt, that organized labor is,in: this land so firmly established that its permanence is assured, The right of those who toll ‘to associate themselves for the promotfon ‘of their common in- terests is admitted by all. The vital matter is thdt such organization shaM be'so directed that the interests of those identifled ‘With it may be conserved without Mnfringing, unjustly upon the rights of others and especially without doing infury to the public Interests and welfare. As President Roosevelt has well sald, “the worth of an organization de- pends upon its being handled with sklll, courage, wisdom, 4 spirit of fair dealing between man and man, and wise self- restraint.”” There is no doubt that this is more gemerally recognized by or- ganized labor than ever before and there is reason to believe that it will be still more largely recognized In future. There is a growing sense of consefva- tism, we think, in the ranks of organized labor which is most promising in behalf of what every good citizen desires and should endeavor to promote—industrial peace. . —— TRUTH AND LOGIC. The Omaha Bee, after spedking of the action of the state convention concerning the Denver conference, says, “If, therefore, the program mapped out at Denver is abandoned, as it now seems it must be, an attempt to hold a populist national nominating convention next year s cer- tain to prove abortive. It is doubtful if a call for"such a convefition would recetve a response from a dozen states in the union.” The “if” in that sentence is the all-im- portant word. Should the program marked out at Denver be abandoned there is no doubt that the result would be just as The Bee states it. But It is not going to be abandoned. The above remarks by The Beo with the words “as it now seems it must be" stricken out, were taken from the speech of the editor of the Independent at the Grand Island convention and the truth of them must be apparent to any one who will seriously consider mem— The Nebraska Independent. Admit the truth and the lo'lcll in- ference follows. = At the Grand Island convention every champlon of the Den- ver madnifeste, including the editor of The Independent, insisted that the pro- gram therein mapped out offered the only waf to maintdin a natfohal popu- list organization: - Bvery one of them insisted that if the work of the Denver conference was repudiated by Nebraska populists its success -in other states would be seriously jeopardized. More than one of the speakers declared in substance, ‘“Vote down this resolution of endorsement and you vote the popu- st party out of existence.” The Grand Island convention voted down the reso- lution by referring it to the pext state convention. If the Denver conference populists knew what they were saying, the prospect for a populist national convention next year with bona fide delegations present from mote than a dozen states is mighty slim. ee———— THE NKEBRASKA CANDIDATE. The aspirations of Hon. John L. Webster for vice presidential honors are recelving flattering encouragement in_various sections of the couatry. The unanimity with which his candidacy was endorsed by the republican state convention has attracted wide attention and the almost foregone conclusion that the second place on the national ticket will go to the west has brought to him asgurances of support from leading re- publicans of other states. Although no aggressive campalgn has®* yet been opened for him, his candidacy is obtain- ing more than passing notice not only in Nebraska and adjoining states, but also In states east of the Misslssippi. Since his presentation by the wtate con- vention, Mr. Webster has had invita- tions to address several representative gatherings and will thl-' week appear as one of the speakers at the American Mining congress along with Secretary Shaw and other distinguished public men. If this demand for thé services of the Nebraska candidate keeps up, he will be busy from now to the close of the impending national campaign. SUGAR AND BEETS. According to officially comphed fig- ures, more than 5,000,000,000 pounds of sugar, valued at over $100,000,000, was brought into the United Statés in the fiscal year just ended. This is a larger importation of sugar than in any pre- ceding year in the history of the coun- try. The total number of pounds of sugar brought into America during the year was 5,217,077,084, while in no ear- ler year in the history of the country has the lwportation of sugar ever reached 5,000,000,000 pounds. The largest importation in any earlier vear was that of 1807, when the total was 4,918,905,733 pounds. On the other side, the domestic produc- tion for the same fiscal year of 1903 was ounly 600,000,000 pounds. While the amount of imported beet sugar has been decreasing, the output domestic beet sugar bas been yet plainly at nowhere near the rate of increase of total domestic consumption. United States should not develop a béet sugar industry that will eventually sup- ply its entire home market. The produc- tion of this sugar out of beets grown at home would distribute a large part of the $100,000,000 paid for imported sugar among our own American farmers, This is something worth working for. —_— THE REAL QUESTION. Next week the Alaskan boundary com- mission will get down to substantial work, the arrangement agreed upon pro- viding that oral arguments shall be commenced on the fifteenth of this month and the expectation i that they will be concluded early in October. There is some misapprehension, it ap- pears, as to what this commission was appointed to do, the common impres- slon being, as gathered from newspaper statements, that it is an arbitration tribunal. That seems to, be the view taken of it by the British and Canadian governments, but it is not in accord with the American view. It is cor rectly pointed out that both President McKinley and President Roosevelt have consistently held that the right of the United States to its Alaskan coast strip is 'too well established for arbitration and It I8 understood to be the view of our Department of State that,this com- misslon or tribunal is not one of arbi- tration, i the proper sense of the term. Former Secretary of State John W. Foster, who 1is ‘one of the American counsel, has thus defined the character of the tribunal: “The treaty rdoes not submit any American territory to the adjudication of arbitration, but creates a commission of three American and three British experts to determine where the line should be drawn between Alaska and British Columbia.” The real question, therefore, is that of defining the terms of the treaty of 1825 between Great Britain and Russia, which from the American point of view sets forth the boundary of Alaska in terms that afford no justincation of the claims of Canada as has repeatedly been pointed out, the contention of our government is that in purchasing Alaska the United States succeeded to the Russian title to the territory, acquired by the trenty. with Great Britain, and that this title was neter questioned by Canada obtil the idea took possession of the people of the Dominion that they shoald have a northern Pacific port or ports. There- upon they advanced a new construction of the treaty of 1825 and cver since have been insisting upon it, making every other question in issue hYetween that country and this subordinate to the boundary controversy. So far as can now be meed, there {8 not much promise of an agreement by the commission and in fact the gen- eral opinion is that the deliberations of that body will leave the matter unset- tled. It is recognized as practically cer- tain that no vital concession—that is, none involving any relinquishment of territory—will be made by the Amerl- can coyunissioners, while it is regarded as equally sure that the twe Canadian representatives will firmly adhere to their contention. The British commis- sloner is Lord Chief Justice Alverstone, who is the chairman of the commission, and it is possible, though it 2an hardly be regarded as probable, that he will side with the American contention. Should he acquiesce in the OCanadian view there of course would be no decision and the Alaska situation would remain as it now is. The very strong position of the United States at least warrants the hope of a different result. m— The very ingenious scheme of Presi- dent Nash to give the electric light company the monopoly of public light- ing in Omaha does not contemplate a reduction of the tax levy for street lighting by a single dollar, nor does it contemplate or suggest the slightest re- duction in the cost of electric light sup- plied to the private consumers. Why then should the mayor and council en- tertain any proposition looking toward the extenslon of the electric lighting contract, which has yet over two years to run, for ten years, or even for five years? ———— Judge Sullivan declares under oath that his renomination did not cost him & cent, although he expects the local hospitality committee to draw on him for $25 as a promised contribution to the fund to provide for the entertain- ment of the convention. Lee Herdman, however, has not yet flled his sworn statement showing hdw much it cost him for fusing by telephone. Secretary Wilson nts the schools to teach the elements of agriculture with the idea that they will tend to check the exodus from farm to eity if not to produce a counter movement from city to farm. The difficulty in the past has not been in acquiring the ability to farm as the stabllity to stay on the farm. If farm schools can teach both they may be successtul o The next time the eity charter is re- vised the government of the city of Omaha with all its departments should be vested In the seven judges of the district court instead of a mayor and city council, city clerk, treasurer, comp- troller and Bodrd of Public Works, with tho specific proviso that the judges sbould not enjoin or mandamus each other in cases of differences of opinlon, Omaha socialists have the courage of their convictions. They have nominated their county ticket with full knowledge that it is foredoomed, but, like the fa- mous six bundred that marched down the valley of death with cannon thun- dering to the right of them and cannon thundering to the left of them, they propose to stand by their flag until the last gun is fired. rme———— According to the democratic definition, conducting a campaign “on a higher plane” means that the republican papers should keep slient about all the #ide has to bear the burden of proof. There is no good reason why tha | blemishes on the official record of the ' 4 MONDAY, SEPTEMBER fusion candidate, while the democratic ofgans freely Induige thelr license to malign and throw mud at the repub- lican nominee. ———— It costs the state of Nebraska 7% cents a day to feed convicts at the penitentiary. It costs the city of Omaha 16 cents a day to«feed vagrants and disturbers of the peace in the city jall. It costs the county of Douglas 45 cents a day to feed the honored guests In the county.jall.

That is, the small “newsie” will pass, it the law which went into effect on September 1 is rigidly enforced. The law provides that no male child under 10 and no girl under 16 years of age shall in any city of the first class sell or expose or offer for sale newspapers In any street or public place. No boy ““actually or appar- ently under 14 years of age” shall sell or expose for sale ahy newspaper unless a permit and badge have been provided by the distriot superintendent of the Board of Education on the appilcation of the parent, guardian or other person having the cus- tody of the boy desiring such permit. The district superintéendent is required to ex- amine, approve and place on file the satis- factory proof that such boy is 10 years of age or upward. If the proof Is satisfac- tory the district superintendent may then issue a permit and badge. The permit will contain a full description of the boy to whom it 1 lssued—the color of his hair and eyes, his hight and weight and any dis- tingulshing faclal charac yos. The badge must be worn oconspicuously at all times while the boy is at work. The wit and readiness at repartes of the New York newsboy has long been & proverd throughout the country. As a rule he is bright and up-to-date, given to slang, some- times profanity, and as & crap-shooter has few superiors.

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS, Progress Regrettably Slow in a Much Needed Reform. Philadelphia Public Ledger. The committes of the American Bar as- soclation on unfform legislation reported that twenty-two states have adopted a uniform law on negotiable instruments, while only three have passed divorce laws which provide that persons cannot secure & divorce in any state for a cause which would not entitle them to a divorce In the state in which they reside. The bueiness of the country is of great importance, but 1s 1t paramount? Is it not just as import- ant that the marrfage band and the posi- tion of the famlily should be established beyond doubt? Uniformity is generally regarded as im- practicable, if not impossible; but in twelve European countries the practice is identical by International agreement. Mr. Justice Simeon Baldwin of the Connecticut supreme court has sald: Nothing can be more important to society than that there should be certainty as to what constitut e and wfvnl ats- solves it Euro [ advance of the of divorce ma: one of our states as absolutely void In another. uniformity as to conditions under which @ court may assume jurisdiction of such a proceeding. The decision of Sir Francls Jeune's court In London, in the Constantinidi divorce case, the other day is notice to us that we are in European eyes, or ht least In the purview of the sober and orderly British courts, merely pagan in treating the mar- riage Wond, which is at the foundation of the family and the state. Constantinidl, & wealthy Greek merchant, domiclled fn Lon- don, was granted a separation from his wife In 1395, and the decree prohibited the remarriage of the woman, who wished to marry the family physician. She had heard of the il fame of South Dakota, hied her- self thither, and, after a six months' res! dence, was granted an absolute divorce by the complaisant court, which decides these things with an eye single to revenue and the prosperity of the state.

Under the shadow of the Waldorf, in Thirty-fourth street, there is a hotel af- fected almost exclusively by *gentlemen’s gentlemen,” or professional valets, Fellow servants in large houses know when a valet leaves, and they report the fact to others, who in turn pass along the news. Or the servant himself, whether he be discharged or resigns, goes to the haunt of his col- leagues, and it is straightway known that his former employer wants a successor. Then the unemployed seek out the valetiges. In this informal Intelligence office thers are no fees, n¢ commissions and no charges of any kind beyond the price paid to the host for his liquor.

I Voorhees, a farmer living on the Jersey side, turned a trick on a brace of confidence men last week. Early in the morning a well groomed stranger drove up to the Voorhees residence and asked if the Voorhees property was for sale. Voorhees told him that the farm Could be bought, and the stranger was shown through the house and a tour was made of the farm. The prospective purchaser seemed to be pleased with the lay of the land and was solng over the detalls of a bargain when a man coming down the road stopped them and asked the way t ew Brunswick. He claimed to be from Alabama and sald that he had lost his way. The fellow pretended to be insane and pulled a roll of greenbacks and a pack of cards out of his pocket. At the sight of the cards Voorhees became suspicious. The man with the roll said he wanted to get rid of the money, but could find nobody to take it. He handed each of the men in the carriage a $ bill. Voorhees stuck the greeback in his vest pocket and, Jumping out of the carriage, bade the men g00d-bye, telling them that the game was too old for that locality. The man from Alabama suddenly recovered his reason and leaping Into the carriage he was rapidly \driven away, swearing a blue streak as he/ went. —_— © WHAT MAKES FOR HAPPINESS, Pleasure Can Be Bought, but Enjoy- ment is a Different Article, Harper's Weekly. ‘We are used to feel—to put it crudely— that folks who have health and money ought to be happy. And so they should. A sufficlent income promotes comfort, and that contributes to cheerfulness of spirit; and to have health of course means to feel well, and that 18 a long step toward feeling good. But how far do we have to look to find persons with health to squander and more money than they know how to spend meking strenuous efforts to attain happi- ness and merely achleving impaired health? If you have health and money you can usually buy pleasure, but enjoyment is a different article; and even when you have g0t enjoyment happiness may still elude you. Pleasure palls and sometimes demor- alizes; enjoyment easily ylelds to weari- ness; but you don't get tired of being happy, and you may be ever so tired and be happy still Happiness is of satisfaction. One reason why it 1s so elusive may be because we human creatures are a complication of body, mind and spirt, and require for our complete satistaction a particularly nice adjustment of blessings and of comfort. 1f we indulge the body too much the other two partners become mutinous; If we over- cultivate the mind the body may break down, and if we bestow all our attention on mind and body, the spirit, gnored, takes a sure vengeance on us for our neglec(.

O'Nelll Frontier: Just thirty-nine coun- ties out of a total of ninety counties in Ne- the Grand and the counties that braska were represented Island convention, had representation there were only repre- sented by from one to two and three per- sons from each county, except in about half a dozen Instances, where counties had as many as five or six. Stanton Picket: 'Notwithstanding the convention statement of Judge Sullivan that Judge Barnes is a gentleman, a scholar and an able lawyer, there are those of his party who will not see it that way and are dls- charging mud batteries loaded to the muz- zle in Mr. Barnes' direction. Some editors appear to think their bread and butter de- pends upon their abuse of opposing candi- dates. The more busdthe more bread and butter. ‘Wausa Gasette: Chairman Lindsay of the republican state central committee has given out the statement that the campaign this fall will be carried on with as much energy and effort as if the outcome was actually in doubt. There will thus be lit- tle cha of the fusion forces finding the republicans napping. Moreover, a thorough campaign this fall will pave the way for a %0 much more glorious victory next year. Dakota City Eagle: James C. Robinson of Hartington, republican nominee for Judge of the Eighth judicial district, was in town last Thursday seelng his old friends and acquaintances and making new ones as well. Mr. Robinson having been state senator at one time has a wide aquaintance throughout this district. He is & scholarly gentleman and makes friends as fast as acquaintances wherever he goes. His election to the bench is a foregone conclusion. Kearnéy Hub: State Superintendent Fow- ler comments on the increase in the pro- portion of women teachers In the stat Last year, teachers was 18 per cent, whereas this year it will be between 16 and 17 per cent. Un- doubtedly the opportunities in more lucra- tive employments are responsible for the decrease. It Is easy to agree with the superintendent’s conclusion that the teach- ing protession is becoming more and more the province of women. Fremont Tribune: Some friend of State Chairman Harry Lindsay should have in- troduced in the republican state convention a resolution endorsing him for the position of United States district attorney, to which he aspires and for which he already has as fine a line of endorsements as any man ever had. It wouid have gone through with & whoop and would have shown once more what Nebraska republicans think of the actlon of Senator Joseph H. Millard in keeping Billy Summers. the friend of Joe Bartley, ia the place. Alblon News: The Nebraska Independent, ‘which has stuck to populism through thick and thin for these many years, asserts that at the death-blow was administered the party | sald. by the recent action at Grand Island, not in the matter of the nominations, but in its fallure to endorse the work of the recent Denver conference. The Independent insists that this action “can have no other logical conclusion than the abandonment of the populist organization in Nebraska, If no steps be taken to counteract the effect of the conventfon's body-blow." O'Nelll Frontler: Those people Who met in convention at Grand Island remind us of the doctor who insists on going to see his patient after he gets well and then tries to collect the bill for the extra and needless visits. During the hard times produced by democratic administrations the people did get sick financlally and were looking for political doctors, but since the republicans got into power and ilmes became good again the people have no further use for political doctors, and when these bogus political ddctors under- take to collect their bill on election day they will find the people refuse to deliver the goods, and will not pay for the useless visit to Grand Island. Tilden Citizen: Judge Barnes, the re- publican candidate for judge of the supreme court, is known and respected in this lo- cality as & well equipped lawyer, & gentle- man and a consistent republican. All the silly stuff printed in democratic and popu- list papers against him Is simply waste of good printers' ink where the judge 1s known. The chief point attempted to be made in the editorials is that, he being the only candidate before the convention and his nomination belng unanimous, he is therefore the tool of all the raliroads doing business in Nebraska. With the same pro- priety and with as much reason, republi- cans might charge that imasmuch as Judge Bullivan's nomination was made under pre- clsely the wame conditions he s therefore the hireling of the soulless corporations that have ground down the farmers of the state until their land isn't worth less than $0 an acre.

Tomorrow is the third anniversary of one of the greatest calamities that ever befell a community in the United BStates—the overwhelming of Galveston by a tidal wave from the gulf. Great as were the losses in life and property, the calamity did not | paralyse the energies and faith of the peo- ple. They went bravely to work to restore the ravages of the storm. The success of their efforts in three years fs shown in a memorial number of the Galveston Nows, which demonstrates with statistics that the city now holds third rank in the list of exporting ports and advanced from twenty- third to eighteenth place port of entry. Similar progress is shown In value of freight handled, in coastwise trade and in increased tonnage of the port. The record 1s & gratifying one and a splendid tribute to the courage and energy of the people.
