B For a centenarfan Ohicago appears to be very robust. What is Omaha going to do about cele- brating its semi-centennial jubilee next year? Tn spite of rallroad mergers the coun- try is threatened with another freight congestion. No ex-convict ever trled to play even with ex-Governor Bavage for refusing to issue a pardon. Kidnaping the governor's kid involves no greater penalty than kidnaping any kid of plebian lineage. In tackling the cabinet problem at a weight of 228 pounds, King Edward in- timates that he needs the exercise. r—— Between Ohifcago water and Kansas City water, 8t. Louls has a busy time keeping the microbes out of its system. At the rate the slaughter is going on in the Balkans there will be few people left to kill when war 18 formally de- clared. E——————— Possibly King Edward may bave to {uvite some American statesman out of a job to cross the Atlantic and take a place in his cabinet. It does begin to look dismal for the Douglas County Democracy. Repub- lecans of all factions and shades of opin- fon are pledged to harmony. At the rate the Steel company’s securi- tles are sliding toward the bottom it is possible that Andrew Carnegie may yet realize the folly of dying rich. E——— Stock jobbers who are holding back with thelr investments should possess their souls in patience. The bargain counter in Wall street has not yet been closed. * By importing Indians to give an abor- iginal toue to its centennial celebration Chicago furnished abundant cause for the war talk and ghost dancing on the local reservation. Pisciculturists of Massachusetts and neighboring states are making hevole ef- forts to save the lobster from exterwmina- tion. New Englanders are determined to preserve their salad days at any cost. Chicago was the mar of the nine- teenth century and will continue to be the most stupendous monument in iron, stone, brick and mortar to the pluck, daring, energy and public spirit of the empire-bullding west. — Should the Hungarian uprising under the leadership of the son of Louis Kos- suth, to upset the rickety old throne of the Hapsburgs, as foreshadowed by HUW THE PEUPLE KULE. Great stress was Inid by several o the champlons of the complex primary elec- | tion system upon the advantages that are to be derived from giving the people the opportunity to rule themselves, The wemorable declaration of Abraham Lio coln in favor of a government by the people, of the people and for the people alwaye meets with hearty applause from an audience, but in what way does that apply to the uniform primary election scheme concocted to confuse and harrass Douglas county republicans? Conceding that the convention system has been responsible for many flagrant abuses, and granting that a system that would enable every voter to participate directly fn the nomination of every can- didate is desirable, it still remains an open question whether the mode pre- scribed by the new rules affords the best opportunity for arriving at a popular choice. The popular sovereignty of the Ameriean people Is exercised at every stage from president down to member of the legislature by indirect selecti and not by direct vote of the people. The chief executive of the nation is not voted for by the people, but by presi- dential electors, and they In turn are not selected by the people, but by po- litical conventions. Suppose that the re- publicans of Nebraska were given the right to vote directly for presidential electors instead of voting for delegates to make the selection for them in state convention, and suppose that so-called “slate-making” through a conference of representative republicans to recommend to the rank and flle candidates for presi- dential electors were forbidden, what chance would there be for securing an expression of the majority of the party in favor of each of the sixteen electors to which Nebraska s entitied? Would not the promiscuous voting for cand!- dates make it utterly impossible to make a choice short of two or three dozen pri- mary elections at which the lowest can- didates should be dropped in turn until at last & majority was secured for each candidate who was ambitious to deposit the vote of the state in the presidential urn. It has frequently been argued that direct elections for president would be more desirable and come nearer to the spirit of the constitution than the in- direct vote for presidential electors. It should be borne in mind, however, that in a presidential election by direct vote every candidate would be known to the great majority of voters by reputation if not in person. His public record and his private life would for many months prior to the electlon be subject to the searchlight of publicity and his views on all vital issues would be known to every man and woman able to read. In the case in hand, most of the men ‘who have entered the lists as candidates for county offices by depositing their money with the committee are unknown personally or by reputation to nineteen- twentleths of the 15,000 republican vot- ers in the county. At best the outcome of the direct primary under the peculiar and unprecedented rules wili be like a game of “blind man’s buff.” Inasmuch as the people who profess the republican creed have no alternative but to make their choice from the men who have put up the money as a guar- antee of good faith the pretenses of pop- ular seiection is but a delusion if not a snare. OUR RELATIONS WiTH TURKEY. The relations between the United States and Turkey are not of a nature that warrants any feeling of unfriendli- ness. This country has claims against the Ottoman government which amount to a comparatively small sum and which there is reason to think will in time be satisfuctorily settled. Of course, Tur- key is very slow in meeting her obliga- tions, of whatever character. The pres- ent sultan is particularly indisposed to pay the debts of the empire, however Just they may be, and there is very good reason for regarding him as being thor- oughly unscrupulous. As is well known he has been promising for several years to pay the claims of the United States, long ago acknowledged by the sublime porte to be just, and he is still mani- festing a disposition to put off payment. Never did a debtor find more excuses and subterfuges than the Turkish sultan for postponing the settlement of con- fessed obligations. It is sometimes necessary in dealing with such a debtor to employ methods more or less coercive and compulsory. Numerous examples of this could be cited. Whether it would be altogether wise to pursue such a course in the case of Turkey is a question for the careful consideration of the authorities at Washington. The sending of American warships to Beyroot seemed to be fully justified by the circumstances at the time the order directing them to go there was given. The reports indicated that Ameriean citizens and iunterests were in peril, and although it was sub- sequently found that these reports were exaggerated, still the prompt action of our government was generally ap- proved. That it had a salutary effect we think cannot reasonably be doubted. It was action that gave the Turkish government to understand, in the most convineing way, that this government proposed to protect American interests, regardless of the attitude of the Euro- pean powers. It involved no threat, eable dispatches, succeed, few people in America will wear crepe. Cardinal Gibbons brings from Rone assurances that another American car- dinal will be chosen soon. Although the report comes from a reliable source, Archbishop Ireland is wise enough to defer painting his library a cardinal tint, The failure of the Panama canal treaty may not be such a streak of il luck after all. It will enable Secretary Staw to disfribute the twenty millions that were to have been paid over to the plg-headed Colomblans amoug the de positories of this country and avert Saapalal stress B States having a naval force, under the circomstances, in Turkish waters, when there is no longer any real reason or justification, growing out of danger to American interests, for keeping war- ghips there. It is needless to say that we would not tolerate the presence of warships of any other nation in a port of the United States under similar con- ditions and may we not properly apply in respect t6 Turkey the same principle that we should most certainly assert in our own case in like circumstances? We are of the opinion that a very large ma- Jority of the American people would ap- prove the withdrawal of our squadron from Turkish waters. FRIOTION IN NKEW ARMY SYSTEM. It is unfortunate that any friction should have occurred thus soon under the operation of the new army general staff system, but such appears to be the fact, though poessibly it will not e of a serious character, or affect to any ex- tent the working of the pelicy of reor- ganization that has been established. It appears that there has arisen a clash of authority over orders of the chief of staff, involving the simple question of the expenditure of money. It Is not a very important matter in itself and can of course be very readily adjusted, but it naturally suggests the possibility of other Issues arising that may prove mwore troublesome and perplexing. It shows, for instance, that while the change to the general staff system is undoubtedly wise and in the end will result in gen- eral benefit to the army, it is quite pos- gible that some things, more or less es- sential in their nature, were overlooked in the framing of the new policy and that consequently it may have to un- dergo some minor, though not wunim- portant, amendments. This is not at all surprising, for while great care and deliberation were taken in drawing up the bill creating a general staff and in this respect effecting a rad- ical reorganization of our military es- tablishment, it is quite conceivable 1hat there should be some flaws and defects that experience with the operation of the new system would be necessary to disclose. In a word, it was hardly pos- gible to make a departure of this kind that would be faultiess and it is to be expected that it will be found necessary to make a number of changes in the law, as experience with its operation shall suggest, before it will be entirely satisfactory. A PACT TU BE REMEMBERED. In his speech before the assoclation of Maryland bankers Secretary Shaw gald that “the prosperity of the Ameri- can people is not measnred by the price of stocks and honds, but by the output of our farms and factories and the profitable employment of labor.” This is a fuct which our people should keep in mind and the truth of which has had very recent illustration. We have seen the stock market for months almost in a state of panie, the prices of securities going down from day to day and the losses of holders of stock measured in willions of dollars. There has been a decline, within two years, in the market value of the stoc® of a single great in- dustrial combination exceeding $8235,- 000,000. Securities of scores of corpora- tions which have gone into the hands of receivers have had their value entirely wiped out. To the holders of such stock the loss has been great, but it has not affected to any appreciable extent the legitimate business of the country or the general welfare. Our factories have gone on producing, labor has been employed, the farmer has found a ready market for his products, our foreign commerce has been maintained and so far as appears there has been no decline in the general prosperity. It has been very conelu- sively shown that the material welfare of the American people is not dependent ‘upon Wall street, or at least that portion of it which deals in stocks—that our prosperity “is not measured by the price of stocks and bonds.” It is well to un- derstand this and to keep in mind the fact that while the manipulations of speculators may send the price of stocks up or down, the true measure of the natlonal piosperity is not to be found in the results of these gambling operations, but in the production of the farms and factories and the profitable employment of labor. When these are in normal operation, as they have been for several years past, we need not con- cern ourselves about the speculative price of securitles and can look to the future with confidence. A few months ago Promoter Clerq of the Consolidated Lake Superior company was lauded and pictured as the most successful type of modern financiers. In the estimation of his boomers Clerq out- ranked J. P. Morgan, inasmuch as he began his gigantic operations as a poor man. The scene of his activities was the Sault Ste. Marle, the water power of which was harnessed to a large number of varied industries bullt on the Ameri- can and Canadian sides of the river. Capitalized at $100.000,000, the entire group is now on the auction block for one-twentieth of that sum. Several thousand workmen are clamoring for their wages, and probably 10,000 share- holders are practically stripped of their investments. The Soo bubble is the largest trust scheme to suffer collapse but simply a warnlng to Turkey fhat any wrong to our citizens within her do- main, or any injury to American inter- ests, she would have to make reparation for. Having accomplished what was sought in the sending of warships to Turkish waters, the question is whether our government should keep them there longer, in view of the fact that the Turkish government desires their with- drawal. It is very easy to uunderstand why that government should wish to be relleved of the presénce in one of her ports of warships whese mission |s one of surveillance. That government quite naturally feels that there is something in the natiee of & manscs o tha Tinited for the army service. While there is no possibility of emulating the example of Germany by compulsory insurance in this country the beneficial effects of the system in Germany will eventually stimulate voluntary health insurance in the United States. At the present time this class of insurance is confined to policies that guarantee fixed payments to the policy-holder through accidenial disability. It seems almost incredible, but it is nevertheless true, that the railroads do- ing bLusiness in Wisconsin bave made a formal request on the tax commissioner of that state to raise the assessed valu- ation of their property. The reason for the request, which at first would scem a paralyzer, is that the rallroad mana- gers have reached the conclusion that the agitation for equitable railroad tax- ation {8 doing them more harm than paying their share of the taxes. It is furthermore suspected that the railroads want to sidetrack the agitation for freigkt reduction, which, like a cloud no bigger than a man's hand, is liable to overshadow all other issues in Wiscon- sin before the next year's campaign is over. Incidentally the railroads have shown that the tax commissioner's val- uation is too low and that if all other property in Wisconsin is assessed for its actual cash value the rate of taxation to be assessed against railroad property under the new ad valorem act will be lowered proportionately. With this strik- ing example before them, what will the magnates that control the Nebraeka rafl- roads say when the next assessment of railroad property comes to be made un- der our new revenue law? Last winter the legislature of Wiscon- sin appropriated $100,000 for an exhibit of the material resources of the Badger state at the St. Louis exposition. Now the board of commissioners appointed to expend the appropriation are making frantic appeals to the people of \Viscon- sin to increase the appropriation by an- other $100,000 by private subscription, What the Wisconsin commission expects to do with such an enormous sum is not yet divulged, but there is a very general Impression that expositions have hecome a most attractive source of graft for prafessionals who have made the ab- sorption of exposition funds a fine art. School reformers as well as the ablest teachers advocate a reduction in the number of studies for all grammar school and primary pupils. The consen- sus of opinion among experienced school- masters s that because of the numerous studles at home and at school the pupils are overworked and the graduates are found to have only a smattering of gen- eral subjects but lack efficiency in ordi- nary studies that relate to fundamentals. The same disposition to overwork the pupils whieh has made grammar school education defective is apparent in the long hours of the very little ones. The Ohicago centennial celebration opened with a reproduction of the abo- riginal antics that were performed a hundred years ago on the swampy site adjacent to Lake Michigan that now bears the name of Chicago. More than 150 Indian braves and squaws, repre- senting the defunct chiefs of the Wag orebash, or Chicago, FPottawattamie, Winnebago, Chippewa, Ottawa and other tribes feasted on fat dogs and whooped it up in the war dance to re- call to the denizens of the Chicago of today incidents of the year 1803, or thereabouts. Mysterious ihfluences are hammering down the Wall street stock market and especially preferred shares of United States Steel corporation stock drawing 7 per cent interest, which sold 37 per cent below their face value. There is a bare possibllity that J. Plerpont Morgin's brokers are the mysterious influence that is bearing down steel stock to en- able the sharks to swallow the school of frightened minnows, but a more ra- tional explanation is that the enor- mously inflated Steel trust securities are settling down to thelr proper level. The retired million-a-year steel mag- nate, Charles M. Schwab, is reported to be Interested in a scheme to found in- dustrial training schools in cities on the line of Andrew Carnegie’s public library endowment plan. If Mr. Schwab Is in position to earry out his scheme on the Carnegie scale he will do more for the elevation of American workingmen than by planting library buildings broadcast. What this country needs above all things is an opportunity for the poor man’'s son to become an educated and skilled mechanie. Although Judge Grosscup has not even yet indicated his intention to re- tire from the United States -ecircuit bench, and hence no vacancy is yet in sight, three ambitious jurists have al- ready signified their intention to com- pete for the Grosscup cup. It goes without saying that the railroad and trust magnates who are so anxious to transplant Judge Grosscup from the bench to the corporation bar are not en- tirely disinterested spectators. —_— The landing at San Francisco of a great Chinese revolutionist who styles bimself a “reformer,” was signalized not only by the pounding of tom-toms and this year. Its passing emphasizes the fact that industries reared on fictitious capital have quicksands for a founda- tion. — At a recent session of the interna- tional congress of life insurance actua- ries the delegate of the German govern- ment to the congress delivered a most interesting address on the compulsory health insurance system in Germany From the statistical exhibit made by him it sppears that there are ten mil- lion men insured in the various states of the German empire and the reasons given for the introduction of this class of iusurance was to lmprove the stand- ards of life and the physical standard the screeching of Chinese musical in struments, but a grand procession of Chinese nabobs riding in omnibuses. What has become of the Chinese ex- clusion law? An explosion of the American Tin Can trust is foreshadowed by Associated Press dispatches. The trust is capital- ized at $82,500,000, of which over $60.- 000,000 18 pure water. Even the best made tin cans cannot stand such in- flation.

PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE, Strange rumblings and subterranean echoes are heard in Indiana. Another his- torical novel is brewing. The reported shortage in Connecticut's to- bacco crop will give the alfalfa cigar a chance to show its pull. King Edward seems to think that a king has other duties besides wearing good clothes and looking wise. Miss Goelet, flancee of the duke of Rox- burghe, is undoubtedly a handsome woman. She has $20,000,000 in her own right, A Kentucky soclety item says that “Misses Kate Coffey and Amanda Waters gave an afternoon tea in honor of Miss Lucy Beers.” Miss Moonshine was un- avoldably absent. General Miles told his friends in Chicago that he was not going to rust out. “I will wear out,” he sald as he took his departure for the ofl regions of Texas, where he in- tends to do some vigorous pumping. Philadelphia, reputed to be the greatest American city, is wrestling with the name of Mr. von Moschzisker, candidate for judge. A prize is ready for every voter who can master it without stuttering.

Fish, who has Hamilton treasurer, the Pacific coast, tells the “very blue" peo- ple in Wall strect that they ought to go west. There they would lcarn, he say: that there Is no occasion for despondency trom a commercial point of view, They would find plenty doing, plenty of money and plenty of products. Mr. Fish seems to overlook the fact that the Wall street point of view and the com- mercial point of view are not identical Wall street has its eves fixed on stocks, and stocks have suffered a collapse quite sufficlent to account for the indigo in the complexion of the bull side of Wall street What good will it do that side of the street to o out west and behold the evi- dences of abundance in the subject-mat- ter of commerce 80 long as there are no signs that the prosperous people are in- clined to pay the top prices for stocks which are from one-halt to four-fifths water?

It Mr. Fish will take some observations in New Jersey he will discover that within a year forty-five corporations which it shelters, having a capitalization of $50,000,- 000, have gone into the hands of receivers, and that most of them have hardly assets enough to pay the recelvers for their trouble. The Universal Tobacco company, for in- stance, with a capital of $10,000,000, pans out assets to the amount of only $135,000, Such facts as these, going to show the hollowness of the vast structure of the trusts, go further than any amount of western prosperity to determine the hue of the bull side of Wall street.
