COLLUSION between purchasing agents
of public institutions and contractor ? for

chasing agent at that institution.
A FACTION of Moqui Indians is fight

It is the hint struggle of the snake

who are willing to come down from the

probably demonstrate to the recalcitrants
that the government will not brook op

force the foolish savages to accept the

the occasion , If the case is made clear

Till } At'l'llOl'HIATIOXa ISSUE.
Ono of the strongest answers tnado to
the democratic criticisms upon the ap
propriations of the last congress was
that of Secretary Koator before the Ohio
republican convention. The secretary
does not defend all of Iho appropria
tions. Ho frankly says there were some
that should nut have been made , but all
of tills character wore supported as
much by domocr.its as by ropublicansi.
"vVlth rnspcct to the others ho maintains
that they are juwttliod by sound policy
and are defonslblo upon grounds of Iho
public good.
Secretary Foster reminds the democ
racy that this is a growing country , and
that the appropriations must nocos-
sarlly increase from year to year. Ho
pertinently observes that the receipts of
the postollluo department are no doubt
the bust attain able test of the growth of
the country , and he prohonls 11 gtires to
prove tlmt the increase in these receipts
shows a greater percentage than the In
crease of the appropriations by the fifty-
first congrohS , demonstrating that if the
latter had boon increased at the same
rate its the postal receipts they would bo
3100,000,000 moro than they aro. The
secretary then proceeds to aJialy/o the
Increased appropriations , and the
critics of the last congress will
find very little comfort in
the result. Pat'tleuinrly will demo
crats fall to got any comfort from his
earnest , defense of the increase in pen
sions. Secretary Foster does not bollovo
It to bo the duty of the government to
put no limit upon its pension policy , but
lie holds that a too liberal provision has
not boon made Jor the men wh o preserved -
served the union , and that the policy
should bo maintained until every old
soldier having just claims shall como
"within the folds of the pension laws of
the country , The secretary proceeds to
argue that the increased appropriations
for the postal service , for the navy , for
the agricultural department , for river
and harbor improvements , were urg
ently demanded for the good
of the country. Every farmer in the
land , ho remarks , has felt the revivify
ing influence of the proper application
of the largo appropriations for tha agri
cultural dopa'-tmunt , and with equal
cogency and force ho points out the
good elTocts , realized or certain of real
ization , of the liberal appropriations of
the last congress.
Tito effort of the democratic " press to
make the appropriations of the fifty-first
congress a llvo issue , and to create po
litical capital for the democracy by the
ehargo of extravagance , has thus fat *
failed. It will not succeed. The Amori-
cais people are practical , and they will
not believe that an honest expenditure
for the enlargement and improvement
of mail facilities , for increasing the navy
so that it shall bo capable of defending
our seaports , for adding to the ability of
the agricultural department to benefit
the farmers of the land , and for improv
ing the harbors and waterways of the
country so that they shall bo of service
to our internal and foreign commerce ,
is wroncr. Nobody justifies extravagance
in public expenditures , and on the ether
hand no intelligent man approves thjit
sort of economy which fails to make
adequate provision for the necessities
created by the country's progress.

Now York will elect state officers this
year , and the campaign in that state
will hardly bo second in interest and in
the importance of its result to the cam
paign in Ohio and Iowa. If the Empire
state should go republican this year it
would bo regarded ns practically settling
the presidential contest of 1892 in favor
of that party. If it should go democratic
it would remain iu the list of doubtful
states for next year. It is interesting
to consider the chances of the parties aa
now indicated.
The great want of the republicans of
Now York is a loader who can
unlto thorn and hold them in
lino. They are casting about
for a man of this kind to nomi
nate for governor , but it will evidently
bo dilllcult to find the right person.
Perhaps Mr. Dopow is the most availa
ble man who has boon named , but it is
understood tlmt ho could not be induced
to accept the nomination. Aa a railroad
president ho haa an annual income sev
eral times greater than ho would got
from the olllco of governor , besides ether
advantages which ho could not have as
the servant of the whole people of Now
York. Moreover , were ho to bo elected
it would do him no great good in a polit
ical way , whtlo defeat would bo a very
damaging blow to his prestige. It is
not known that nt pro so nt Mr. Dopew
has any political aspirations , but if ho
lias it is not clear that they would
be promoted by his becoming a candi
date for governor. It has boon sug
gested that the republicans should nom
inate a farmer who has been faithful to
the party , but who has not boon a place !
seeking politician and has not boon of
fensive as the member of any faction ,
and the suggestion is good. There mu&t
bo a number of thoroughly capable men
of this class in New York upon whom
the party would bo moro likely lo unlto
than upon any of the regular politicians ,
and who would draw from the opposi
tion. It would doubtless bo an excellent
thing for the party to relegate the
bosses to the Voar for a time and try
some now men whoso republicanism is
irreproachable , and who have not been
ongagpd in the strifes that have
divided and weakened the party. It lb
not to be doubted that if this were done
republican chances would bo greatly im
proved.
The democratic situation is peculiar
and puzzling. Tills is duo to the un
known designs of Governor Hill , whoso
control of the democratic * manhino ap
pears still to bu absolute. The out
givings of the governor's organ have
indicated that he contemplates serving
a third term , and it in by no means improbable -
probable that this is hla intention.
There itro precedents enough in the his-
'tory of Now York by which ho could
jtibtlfy doing so , and the incentives are
very strong. In order to secure
any standing in the next
domoctatlo national convention
ho must retain command of the party in
Now York , and while ho might do thla
by naming hla successor he would bo
certain of It if he should succeed him
self. I3ut ho cannot Book n third term
without giving olTonso to a considerable
number of democrats to whom his
methods of promoting his political greed
must bo repugnant , and it la by no
moans to bo inform ! from hl § past suc
cess that ho could bo elected a third
timo. There is reason to believe that
Hill has lost strength by hla course in
holding on to the olllco of governor after
ho was elected to the United States
aonato , and as hla plurality in 18fl3 was
but 10,000 a comparatively small defec
tion would defeat him. Whether n , can
didate of his dictation woulu bo stronger
than the governor himself Is doubtful.
Perhaps nothing bettor could happen
for the republicans than for Hill to run
again , but if ho namss the cuulldato ,
and undoubtedly he will do this , that
out/lit to bo almost as favor.xblo to re
publican success. It la to bo presumed
thoronro thousands of democrats in Now
York who would bo no moro disposed to
accept Hill's creature than Hill him
self.
self.The
The democratic situation in Now Y.ork
as it now appears is favorable to repub
lican success , but the chances of the latter
tor party winning depend upon Its abil
ity to find a loader who can harmonize
the factions , unlto the party and hold
it together. As wo have already said ,
this may bo somewhat lUlllcult.
TlIK NATIONAL
The people of Minneapolis repudiate
the statement telegraphed- that
city to the effect that they have grace
fully retired from the race for the
national republican convention. On the
contrary the announcement has
awakened a renewed energy on the part
of the public spirited people of that en
terprising city. Committees are already
at work soliciting subscriptions for the
entertainment of the crowd , and news
papers , loaders in local affairs and poli
ticians are moving heaven and earth ,
figuratively speaking , to make a gooi'
showing in favor of their city.
Omaha cannot nlTord longer to remain
inactive. The proper time for action is
now. The city and its environs are
abundantly able to entertain the con
vention. All that Is necessary to start
the ball rolling toward Omaha is judi
cious , aggressive and immediate activ
ity. With Minneapolis in the field and
San Francisco anxious to bo honored ,
Chicago will find three foes who may
unite in a combination , offensive and de-
'fonslvo , which will deprive Chicago of
tno necessary votes to secure the
convention. In this event Omaha
occupies the strategic point. The
ether cities _ will readily agree
upon Omaha if their own chances are
less encouraging with the hope and.ex-
poutation of entertaining the assembly
politicians at a future date. The first
great fight is to secure recognition for
the region 'vest of the Mississippi river.
Having accomplished this purpose
Omaha will naturally and logically fall
heir to the prize on account of her cen
tral location , her railway facilities , her
political importance in this particular
campaign and her good name through
out the union.
ACCOIIDINO to the Juno report of the
department of agriculture , "tho area of
wheat has apparently increased about
8.7 per cent over that which was bar- _
vested last year , and the general aver
age of winter wheat is reported to bo
90.0. The report says that whether tho'
present price shall bo maintained , or a
higher value attained , depends upon the
accuracy of foreign estimates , and the
weather contingencies until harvest. A
moderately satisfactory price would
scorn to bo assured , with-a possibility of
more remunerative rates. The opinion
is expressed that a largo demand for
wheat ia certain , much greater than for
several years past and possibly the
foreign shipment among the largest
annual exportations over realized. The
report compels growers to go slow In
ext'onsion of wheat area , lost by exces
sive production there should bo brought
about u recurrence of agricultural de
pression , but such advice would seem to
bo quite unnecessary , if the statisticians
who have calculated that by 1895 wo
shall begin to import wheat , because of
the oxhaustibn of the wheat area , are
not wildly at fault. At any rate our
farmers are not likely to go far astray in
this inattor , and too much wheat ia not a
danger to bo seriously 'foared.
A ciiiCATUici : named Chamberlain ,

papers of the couritry , notably of the Now
York Tnhuno and Now York Horald. The
beginnings were small , the struggles prout ,
but the indomitable perseverance was alike
in all cases. Mr. Hosewater Is ono of the remarkable -
markablo and forceful mon of the west ,
and probably has a moro thorough knowl
edge of the politics of Nobraslca than
any qthor man in th stato. Ho seem
ingly never forgets anything and Is always
thoroughly armed for every contest. Prob
ably no party editor in the country has ever
worn his party harness moro loosely , and yet
bean so potent In his party's affairs. Ho has
the courage , and has often exhibited it , to
oppose his party's nominations mid his
party's policy , when they did not commend
themselves to his judgment , ana yet the
p.irty in Nebraska cannot do without him.
Efforts have often been tnado to keep
him ou1 ; of his party's conventions ,
but at the last mnmont , when
these efforts were thought to bo
successful , lo. there was Edward Rosewater ,
cool , keen , alert , as usual. Mr. Rosewater
once told the writer that the Bsi : was an
accident , not an intention. It was not ex
pected to survive the occasion which gave It
birth. Had It boon , ho said ho would pro
bably have chosen another name for It. It
was meant only to sting for a time , but cir
cumstances willed that the "business ond"
of that 13 KM should continue in business , and
its puncturing apparatus was never more
effective than it Is today.Vo heartily wish
It another twenty-year anniversary.

Fairbury Enterprise : Tnu BBS Is pub
lishing interviews to show that the people of
Nebraska favor the holding of the national
'republican ' convention at Omaha. Why , of
course , and it may bo soon , too.
Lincoln Call : If Omaha will go to work
earnestly and enthusiastically for the na
tional republican convention , It can count ou
a cordial support from Lincoln both In purse
and doocl. The capital city Is not and will
not ba backward In a work of this character.
Lincoln Journal : If the national repub
lican convention Is lo bo hold anywhere in
Iho west outsldo of Chicago , there Is no
doubt that the claims of Omaha as to ability
to "accommodate" the crowd are as good as
Ihoso of any ether city , not excluding Minne
apolis. That any of those western cltlos can
"accommoJuto tbo crowd" is a bit of humor.
Chicago Itself does not do it.
Sioux City Journal : Council Bluffs Is
doing every ihlng- possible to help out Omaha's
aspirations after the next republican national
convention. Indeed , Council Bluffs may bo
said to bo taking the lead in the business. It
Is different with the Minnesota towns. Min
neapolis counts on St. Paul to help It in the
care of the delegates , but St. Paul only pouts
In return and says biltor things calculated to
bring the enterprise of Minneapolis Into re
proach. That ro-count was unfortunate.
There doesn't seem to bo any way to stop It.

do not break from heat , not
one in a hundred ; they break
from accidents. ,
They are made of clear
glass as well as tough , as
clear as crystal. They fit the
lamps they are made for.
Shape controls the draft ; they
are shaped right. Draft con
tributes to proper combustion ;
that makes light ; they im
prove the light of a lamp.
But they cost a dealer three
times as much as common

break , he is apt to be anxious
lest they stop his trade. Di
minished sales and less profit
are not agreeable to him.
