It is perhaps natural tlint the demo
cratic organs and the Bo-cnllod Independent -
pendent nowBpapors Bhould endeavor to
make it appear that the course of iho
administration U in largo tlogrco re
sponsible for republican defeats in the
late elections , but the atrnlnod nature
of their conclusions Is bo obvious
that they must fall of effect with
their Intelligent readers The
party leaders nnd the dtsciiminnt-
ing politicians ot both parties know
perfectly well that the course of
the administration bad no moro to do *
with the result in most of the states
than the feilvor question or any other
subject not nt the time in ptiblio atten
tion Doubtless there nro republicans
in nil of the slates dlssatistiod with the
administration , nnd moat of these very
likely did not vote , wlillo others may
have \oted with the democrats , but it
would manifestly bo absurd to claim
that this class was nmnoroiiscnough , in
Ohio and Iowa for oxnmplo , to turn these
Elates ever to the democracy It would
bo a largo estitnato to plnco the num
ber of republicans in oilher of these
states , who retrained from voting or
voted with the doinocrats by reason of
the disalTecllon toward the admiplstra-
tlon , at ono thousand The only cause
of republican dissatisfaction with the
president relates to the polloy of ap
pointments , mid the number inlluonccd
by this is comparatively very Biimll
General Uoynton , the woll-known
Washington correspondent , who was in
Ohio during mot of the campaign , aya
that ho hoard no mention of
the national administration lu connec
tion with the expressions of the
dissatlslled republicans , and that there
were no national issues atatako Hon
.Tohn V. Plummer- Now York , ono of
the most nctlvo and best informed re
publican politicians ot that stnto , Bald
to a representative of Tine Br.u that
the result in that , state was largely duo
to the usual IndtlTorenco of republican
> voters in an off year Everybody ad-
ttnfis that it was the prohibition issue
whicli defeated the republican party in
Iowa There were local issues In all
these states which dotormlnod the re
sults , und there is not the least renson
for charging any degree of responsi
bility upon tlioratlonaladministration ,
which us yet has declared no policy and
has given offense only to the very small
number of republicans who have boun
disap ' poiutcd in their search for ofllco

The delegates to the congress of the
three Americas will return to Wash
ington today , having occupied about a
month in their extended journey The
congress will reassemble on Novcmbor
18 and enter upon the deliberations for
.vhlch it was called The trip of the
delegates , judiciously planned and nd-
mirably carried out , has given the for
eign visitors ideas and Impressions of
the industrial capabilities and re
sources of the United States which
they could have obtained in no
other way Prom Boston to Omaha
and from Omaha to Philadelphia
they yisitcd the wealthiest and most
prosperous section of the country , and
wittiossed the highest industrial
development of the nation They have
learned from personal observation what
the United States already has at com
mand to moot the wants of their respec
tive countries , and they have gained
mucii knowledge of the vast resources
yet to bo developed and employed
They have seen the splendid results of
the energy and enterprise of our people ,
and they have found us po3-
sossod of a hospitality as hearty and
generous as that of any people In the
world
All this may reasonably bo presumed
to have made an Impression upon them
much stronger than is convoyed by any
of their expressions of gratification ,
It may bo supposed , also , to
hnvo greatly onlargcd their views
of the advantages possible in
closer commercial rotations between
the United States and other American
countries , and perhaps to have strength
ened the American acntlniout which
is the foundation ot the conference
tlloy nro to hold Palso theories
have boon disposed of and
misapprehensions removed , und
the Pnn-Amoricau congress will nssom-
blo with every forolgn aelogato possessed -
sossod of u very thorough knowledge or
what wo have and a very good idea of
what wo arc capable of , information
most necessary to wise deliberation and
practical action
It will bo interesting just before the
mooting of the congress to no to sotno of
the views which will doubtloas dominatd
its deliberations Tt is evident that the
question of increasing the facilities of
communication will be prominent ,
All ot the foreign dologatcs
regard this as being most es
sential to onlargcd commorclnl rela
tions , and while the majority of thorn
mnyhavo aomo dollcacy about express
ing an opinion favorable to a govern
ment subsidy policy in order to provide
increased communication , aomo have
announced that thov should advocate
such it polloy The indications nro that
the couforonco will recommend subsidies
and if it should do so the ofToct would
very likely bo to give that polloy a much
lnrgor support in congress than it
haa ever yet rocoivoa It is under
stood that a number of south
on ! democratic representatives nro
prepared to favor it , and it
so the chnuccs of its success would
bo materially incronsod It ia quito
concolvnblo that the roprosontntlvos of
southern states having seaports might
bo induced , without much effort , to sup
port subsidies Another thing which
the forolgn dolegntos seem to bo ngrocd
on is the uocessity of simplifying the
customs methods of this country Ono
of the foremost of them says that under
the present complicated methods great
cmbarraBsmont to trade arises , and
ho suggests thut a uniformity
of customs regulations upou tbo
bimplest basis should bo estab
lished Another mutter of yory
great importaueo will bo the quoation
of establishing a uniform standard ot
money The standard coins of the
American continents are as numerous
as the couuirios which uro embraced ,
and each country has Hs wn standard
ot weight and fineness This multl
form motilllc currency ot the American
countries Is both n hlndranco tocom-
inarro , n loss to consumers ot merchan
dise , nnd nn inconvonlcnco to mer
chants by reason ot the necessity for
computations and the employment of
ngonta nnd brokers to make the ox-
chnuges A colnngo system of uni
form valtio and designation is tint
Impracticable , and It is obviously n ne
cessity to oxtcuslvo commercial rela
tions between Amorlcnn countries
Such are aomo of the moro important
matters that will occupy the attention
ot the Pan-Araorlcnn congress , nnd will
give to the doliboratlons and conclu
sions of that body a universal interest
It is to bo hoped the result will justify
the opinion ot the representative of
Ciilll that the ' conference will con
tribute powerfully to the union ot the
American nations "
MOST EMPHATICALLY , AO
The board of education has scon fit to
make another nttompt to override the
will ot the people , In dollnnco ot the
decided nogatlvo vote ot the Inst school
bond proposition the board has again sub
mitted ti proposition for bonds which is
substantially the same as the proposition
that wa9 rojoetod last spring The only
difference botwocn the now proposition
and the ono rojoctcd ia that the ontlro
amount uskod for bonds now , Including
scvonty-fivo thousand dollnrs for the
high school extension , is lumped ,
whereas last spring the high school ex
tension bonds were voted on separately
Tin : 13iu : is in favor of the orcction
of ns many school buildings as may bo
needed , but it opposes now , as it did Inst
spring , the proposed annex to the high
school building Thla nnnox will doubt
less bo orcctod In the duo course of
time , when the number of pupils in the
high school grade need additional ac
commodations , or when a normal de
partment shall bo established and mudo
a pait of our public school system Wo
do not , however , approve the continued
use of the high school building nsacon-
tral graded school Public sontimortt
on that point is decidedly in favor of
the orcction of a now school house in
the central district , outside of the high
school grounds
Instead of paying attention to public
sontlinent nnd carrying out the known
wishes of their constituents , the board
now seeks to coerce the public into
voting for the high school annex by
saying to the voters : You must vote for
the annex or go without now school
houses for another year
Tim Bkk says most emphatically :
Vote down the whole proposition
THE PItOPOSEV MARKET MOUSE
That Omaha needs a market house
goes without saying The opening of a
market house would bring about active
competition in the sale of food products
that cvory > workingman must hnvo on
his table It would reduce the cost of
living to laboring peoulo and thus enable -
able capitalists who want to locate fac
tories and mills in Omaha to operate
thom as cheaply as they could In other
cities where living is cheaper
The proposition to convert the expo
sition building into a market house
strikes us very favorably The location
is as central as it could possibly bo and
the building is well adapted for a mar
ket house The price asked for the
structure is much lower than It could
possibly bo built for The city now
pays rent enough for part of the build
ing to pay thp interest at live per
cent on its entlro cost The
structure is now exempt from taxation ,
so wo would lose nothing in thut direc
tion "Iu addition to giving us a market
house immediately , wo shall also have
a building that can bo used as a great
exposition hall during three or four
weeks of the year when Omaha has her
annual fair
The greatest advantngo is , however ,
in having a market house ready for
immodlato use , in a central location ,
accessible to all people by motor and
eablo lines
It may bo that the political change
in Ohio and Iowa will reduce the
chances ot the candidates from these
states for the speakership of the house
of roprcsontativos , though there does
not appear to bo any very sound reason
why it should do so , at lonst with re
spect to Mr Hondorson Ho can not bo
fairly charged with any want of zeal or
olTorfin behalf of the republican ticket
in Iowa As to McKitiloy there Is a
faction iu Ohio which is dis
posed to accuse him of luke
warmness In his support of For
nker , and while there is un
doubtedly no justice in this it may
work McKinley harm in his contest for
the speakership The candidnto who
cannot command the unltod nnd har
monious support ot his own state can
hardly expect to attract strength from
the outside , and this scorns to bo the
present situation of the Ohio candidate
Henderson's position is moro lavorublo
bo far as Ills own state is concerned
Cannons position in the race is said to
have Bomowhat iinprovod , while Bur
rows is still sustalnud by the hope of
falling heir to the Heed vote if the
Maine candidnto cannot win An oloc-
tton such as that of a week ago is very
apt to throw the most careful calcula
tions into confusion ,
Whisk mon like normnu Kountzo
nnd Bon E. Smith urge the people to
support the pending bond.propositlons ,
it is conclusive proof thut the invest
ment will be a proOtablo onq for the
city No two mon in the city own
moro property or pay moro taxes They
arc cautious , consorvnllvo businessmen
mon , and their judgment can bo rolled
on With vast lntorosts at stiuto , it is
not ljkely that they would recommend
these propositions if they did not know
thut the money paid out would return
tenfold to the city They know that
the investment is a good ono , the
security gilt edge , and thoruforo heart

the country becomes irrigated and settled
this will doubtless become tbo most cxtcn-
slvo crop , from Lnramio and cast , to tlio Pa

out of the gray sago brush , will appear a
spot as green as emerald , presenting a pleas

the nature of ravines , or strips of country
between the mountains , only n mile or two
