Last year 37 per cent of the rail
road building of the country was in the
south , a great increase over former
years , while so far this year the south
claims 50 per cent , of the railroad ex
tensions. The industrial advancement
, „ of the south in all lines keeps abreast
of this record and the man who predicts
? that the south will be solidly democratic
i 'f' in 1892 is a poor judge of indications ,

You cannot convince a Nebraskan
accustomed to plough in the black soil
of these prairies that red sand will raise
a crop. Now the Texan has no preju
dices of that sort and will draw his gun
to defend a red sand homestead entry
with as much assurance as though it
was a slice of paradise. That is the
reason the Nebraskans came away from
I Oklahoma the other day , and said they
wouldn't take the whole territory as a
gift and be compelled to cultivate it for
a living. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It is a terrible story of disappoint
ments , hardships and impositions which
The Bee's special correspondent graph
ically describes in Oklahoma. But that
is just what might have be been expect
ed. When men go crazy over a wildcat
_ ' scheme , whether it be in farm lands ,
mm mining enterprises , or town lots , there
Ik are tens of thousands of dupes who sac-
K rifice their all to one individual , who
H makes a stake on the venture. From
B the first the Oklahoma movement was
* badly managed. But , worse than this ,
the soil is unfit for agriculture , the cli
mate is bad , and the chances for an hon
est man to get a foothold among desper
adoes and land-grabbers is small indeed.
All this was set forth through the press
of the country. The leading papers
took pains to spread the news that Ok
lahoma was no land flowing with milk
j and honey. The man who left a com-
; fortable home to take his chances in
i thatwilderness has , therefore , no one
i , but himself to blame for his foolhardi-
ness. Bee.

The wisdom of age and the freshness
of a "fancy which time has not withered
were symmetrically and charmingly
blended in the centennial ode of John
Greeuleaf "Whittier , composed for the
great jubilee which has now passed m-r-
to history. It is fitting that this elo
quent tribute to the Father of his Coun
try should have emanated from a man
who was rocked in thecradle of Puri
tanism , and whose imagination took on
, ' the color of those peculiar invironments
and influences amid which the pilgrim
i fathers lived , and from which they drew
: their intrepid inspiration. The poem
\ is instinct , from the opening to the
I closing line , with the fire of patriotism
and the eloquence of poesy , and is the
ripe and perfect product of a mind and
| heart which are fully attuned to all
j that is sweet and beautiful in nature
' and to all that is high and noble in the
conduct of life. The lovely , green old
j age which has fallen so gently upon
"Whittier , kindly forbears to rob him of
a single faculty or to draw him aside
from the congenial activities which have
rendered his career a benediction to
mankind. Star.
The address of Chauncey M. Depew
at the Washington centennial Tues
day , fully vindicated the discrimination
' " ' of the committee which selected him
for the performance of that important
; duty. The manner in which he rose to
' the level of the high occasion certainly
marks him as one of the most able and
• rifted public speakers in the country
: to-day. He has long enjoyed the dis-
, * " tinction of being an inimitable after
f * dinner talker , but he has proven that
| ft his powers are not limited to post pran-
pr " dial wit and eloquence. There was much
% * . in the occasion which furnished inspir-
| f ation for high oratorical achievement.
' * $ , The spirit of the age , which is an emi-
§ \ \ nently practical one , is not favorable
I * * * * to the production of great orators , and
§ & the Patrick Henrys , and Clays and the
I i Websters went out with the eventful
1 rV/ and stirring times which called into de-
I * / mand that power of impassioned appeal
| * which made those giants of the young
pr Republic immortal. But in the cele-
IB. | bration of the Washington centennial ,
' % ; the country lived again for' one brief
f * < - day , amid the quickening scenes and in
ff the vivifying atmosphere of 100 years
f ago , and felt all the kindling zeal of
A' patriotism which stimulated the old-
& . . time triumphs of American eloquence.
. Mr. Depew in his centennial address ,
*
JT and the different representative men
% who graced the centennial banquet with
& their presence and who responded to
the toasts , , proved that the decline of
* * oratory in this country had not been so
- marked that an event which makes a
] ' strong appeal-to the sentiment of the '
* ' people , finds the nation unprepared'

A NATIONAL DISEASE.
„
'
The craze for official position amo ng
all classes of people amounts to a na
tional disease , which is as fatal as yel
low fever and as long-endunng as lop-
rosy. It is a sort of a slow-working
plague , which is surely eating at the
vitals of the republic. Partisans trade
on the infection and rally their follow
ers , not by onthusiastic devotion to prin
ciple , but by the hope of recognition in
the shape of appointments toofficial po
sition. The question which was precip
itated upon a national party convention
"What are we hero for ? " expressed the
whole thing in five words. They were
all there to put in motion certain ma
chinery which , if it achieved certair
results , would place them all in the waj
of getting an office. This has been the
purpose of every national , state , count }
and city. It is this office-seeking craze ,
however , which stands in the way oi
any check to the spoils system , and il
does not apply to appointive position !
only. The rush for those which an
elective is as bad , if not worse. Notice
the number of candidates who seel
nominations at the handB of the conven
tion ofjthe dominant party. Men who ar <
generally level-headed about other mat
ters will leave good positions , or neg
lect a well established business , just t <
hold an office. It is hardly an exagger
ation to say that every voting citizen it
a candidate for something , from town
constable to president. To get there ,
as the expression is , they will sacrific <
honor , manhood , principle , money , rep
utation everything in fact , to obtair
their coveted positions. Success appear *
to compensate them for all that the ]
have to go through to get their desired
power , and when their terms expire anc
they are kicked out by some successfu
rival , in what condition do they fine
themselves ? In most instances it is
like beginning life over again ; and worse
for nothing is so well calculated to un
fit a man for successful business pur
suits as office holding. This craze foi
office is doing much to corrupt the bal
lot box and debauch the elective fran
chise. Its ill effects on the 'individual is
reflected on the nation and is undermin
ing that high regard in which the high
est privilege of an American citizen
should be held. It is time to call i
halt , and the present centennial oele
bration is a good time to begin.
From a profusely illustrated series ir
the May Century we quote the follow
ing : "The negotiations between the
skilled and wily carpenter and the pro
spective Samoan house owner woulc
amuse , but hardly meet the approval of ,
the business man of todayUnder the
propitiating influences of kava , the
necessary presents are produced to in
duce the carpenter to undertake the con
struction of a house. It is begun al
once , without any terms of agreement ,
and the work advances until the carpen
ter thinks more presents necessary , and
he ceases work. Additional gifts being
made , the carpenter continues the con
struction until he deems it necessary to
demand another contribution , when he
again stops work. If the contribution
is not forthcoming , labor is suspened on
the incompleted house , never to be un
dertaken for completion by another of
the craft ; and forever afterwards it re
mains unfinished and a public reproach
to the good name of the unfortunate
owner , who , at the time of its begin
ning , not knowing what may be the ideas
of the carpenter as to the cost of its
construction , must either call upon the
community for aid , which is generally
freely extended , or suffer the humilia
tion of this unfinished monument. "
The religious exercises which consti
tuted such an important feature of the
Washington centennial furnished signi
ficant proof of the fact that the devo
tional spirit which animated the found
ers of the Republic in their struggle for
liberty still lives in the hearts of the
American people. There has been , since
the days of Washington , a development
of liberal sentiment as to creeds and
dogmas which has been fully commen
surate with the intellectual and mater
ial progress of the nation , but the prin
ciple of faith which rendered puissant
the arm and the sword of Washington
and inspired the hearts of his followers ,
is as active to-day as it was a. century
ago , and it has proved a potential force
in all the best achievements of Ameri
can civilization. The assembling of the
people together in the churches all over
the land was significant of the continu
ed fidelity to the great principles of
Christianity , and the spectacle was not
encouraging to the belief that material
ism is extending its reign in this coun
try. The well meaning zealots who are
contending for the incorporation of the
name of the Diety in the constitution
need have no fear that the American
people are drifting away from the faith
of the fathers.
The Louisville Courier-Journal says :
"At this time the people will watch
svith more than ordinary interest the
taking of the census. It is the purpose
} f the republican managers , if possible ,
by the creation of new states , and by
the manipulation of the census , and the
lenial of equal representation to the
southern states , to perpetuate indefin
itely republican party ascendency. "
[ t was clearly and avowedly the purpose
) f the democratic party to prevent the
: reation of new states in order to per-
jetuate democratic ascendency. This
' act is so notorious that no democrat
vill venture to deny it. When the peo-
) le decided against democratic obstruc-
ion , the democratic majority in the
louse passed the territorial admission
till , with the hope of getting the credit
or so doing. But the democrats were
ntitled to no more credit for what they
lid than a spanked boy is for obeying
lis mother. As to the denial of equal
epresentation to the southern states ,
he living queestion is : Shall the south-
rn states retain their representation ,
ased on the negro population , while
enying suffrage to the negroes ?

Official reports from Secretary
Rusk verifies the facts that losses of
cattle from disease , exposure and all
causes .during fbe year ' 38 were very
light. A mild winter and generally
sufficient forage material lowered the
usual death rate. For ' 87 the losses
were above the average. For ' 88 the
losses were at their minimum for a ser
ies of years. It is a matter of congrat
ulation , that the present returns make
the aggregate loss , in spite of the in
creased number of cattle , at less than
one and a quarter million head against
one and a half million. Singularly , the
loss both by percentage and actual
numbers was largest in the south. ' For
Colorado there was a loss of three per
cent. ; Wyoming two and seven-tenths
per cent. ; Dakota two per cent. ; * Mon
tana two and five-tenths per cent , and
Iowa one and six-tenths per cent. Of
Nebraska's one million six hundred
thousand cattle , a loss of thirty-five
thousand , or about two and two-tenths
per cent , is reported , which is less than
the average for the states and terri
tories. The prospects , - therefore , are
most promising this season for the cat
tle industry all over the country.
According to the Railway Age the
mania for railroad building is breaking
out afresh this spring , and the mileage
lately proposed by the new road pro
jectors foots up to an amount equal to
one-third of the entire mileage of the
country at present. Fifty-three thous
and five hundred and sixty-six miles of
new lines are projected , and building
has actually commenced on 14,000
miles. To build fifty-three and a half
thousand miles of road talked of this
year , will involve the expenditure of
$6,400,000 per day , a greater sum than
it cost to run the armies and navies of
the country in the most expensive
months of the civil war. The total ex
penditure would be more than sixteen
hundred millions , a sum nearly fifty
per cent , greater than the entire debt
of the United States. These lines will
therefore not be built , for the country
cannot just now afford to spend the
money. Nor if they were built could
the country afford to support them in
addition to the 125,000 miles already
running. There will have to be a let
up in the ambition of railroad builders.

President Harrison is evidently
in great need of rest and recuperation.
When he arose to speak at the banquet
in New York it was observed that he
appeared tired and looked paler than
usual. Although not a large man phy
sically , President Harrison is of rugged
constitution , and by his regular and
careful habits of life he has preserved
a vigorous vitality , but the tremendous
strain to which he has been subjected in
Washington , together with the unhealth-
ful condition of the white house , have
put his strength to the severest test ever
experienced by any president. A man
of less indomitable will than President
Harrison would have given up weeks
ago and sought rest , and the danger is
that he will hold on until compelled to
surrender , thus increasing the difficulty
of restoring his strength. The presi
dent should take a vacation of at least
two weeks , going to some quiet and se
cluded place where he will be safely be
yond the reach of the persistent and
pestiferous office seekrs.
The golden gate special between
Omaha and SanFranciscoit would seem ,
is to be supplanted by a new overland
passenger train which is to make fast
time between ocean and ocean. It is
proposed that a train leaving San Fran
cisco shall arrive at Omaha in three
days , in Chicago in three days and nine
teen hours , and in New York in four
days and twenty one hours. Such a
fast transcontinental service has not
been attempted heretofore , and its suc
cess will be watched with no little in
terest in railroad circles. But while an
overland fast train may at first be more
in the nature of an experiment , the era
of slow trains and improper accommo
dations is past. The Union Pacific has
given its patrons a sample of luxurious
traveling , and it may be depended upon
that the public will insist upon the best
and latest improved train service be
tween Omaha and SanFrancisco in the
future. Bee.
What made the license law of Bos
ton more binding was the provision in-
it that only one saloon for 500 inhabi
tants should be allowed to do business.
That is the reason that more than two-
thirds of the liquor shops of the city
were shut up last week by the board of
excise. Seven hundred and eighty li
censes were issued , sufficient in the
judgment of the Massachusetts legisla
ture to supply liquid stimulants to a
population of 385,000. In time Boston
will not need so many. Lincoln after
a dozen years or so of nigh license man
ages to get along very comfortably with
one saloon for every 1,400 inhabitants.
It is rather suggestive of the thirst that
a baked bean diet superimposes upon
the culture of Boston , that prior to the
adoption of this law she supported a sa
loon for each 150 of her people. Re
form was necessary. Journal.
Gen. Weaver of Iowa is ' presum
ably in Oklahoma yet , as nothing has
been heard of him for some days. The
general is played out in Iowa and very
3vidently has his eye on political honors
from the people in the new territory. If
those who have managed to get away
From the territory in the last week could
rote , Mr. Weaver's chances for political
preferment would be very slim.
It is now definitely announced that

particular.
