COLLUSION between purchasing agents
of public institutions and contructorefor
supplies is a common source of corrup
tion. IMio peculiar fluctuations of prices
ihown in Hastings' asylum contracts
iloarly indicate that there is some un-
lorstandin- ; between bidders and pur
chasing agent at that institution.
A FACTION of Moqui Indiana is fiffht-
ing against the inroads of civilization.
It is the lint struggle of the snake
dancers against the progresiivo Moquis
who are willing to come down from the
rocky mcsna to the valley farms. A de
tachment of troops on the ground will
probably domonstrnto to the recalcitrants
that the government will not brook op
position to schools and farms , but will
force the foolish savages to accept the
benefits tendered.
MANY an old citizen- Omaha und
Nebraska will road with regret that
lion. B. K B. Kennedy , the father of the
llsh commission , one of its original mem
bers and a most enthusiastic devotee to
pisciculture lias been deposed by Gov
ernor Thayor. No man in Nebraska
has done moro for the distribution of
fish in Nebraska waters. IIo and Lou
May of Fremont hnvo formed n , team
which will never bo improved upon for
this department. They nro both demo
crats , but the fish have not in any in
stance given evidence of ape taoy.
THE people of South Dakota have an
excellent opportunity of proving to the
eastern philanthropists that western
people are not the enemies of the peace
able Indian they have boon represented
to bo. The trial of the murderers of
Few Tails , a friendly Indian , presents
the occasion. If the case is made clear
against the accused it is to bo hoped the
jury will not allow the Plenty Horses
fiasco to inlluonco their verdict. The
killing of Few Tails was an atrocious
murder. The culprits should bo made to
BulTor. It will do South pakota'a repu
tation great harm to acquit them if the
evidence shows them guilty.
UTAH democrats have very little volco
in the national convention , but such in

The Utah atraw is a trillo lonesome but
It shows nevertheless that there is a
slight broo/o blowing agalnttt the fleshy
lawyer who wants another four years in
white house. The breeze promises to bo
a regular Washoo zephyr in Nevada
and the west and it will be no slight
storm in many other sections of the
union. History repeats itself and the
ox-president will bo voted out of public
life permanently again for an indiscreet
utterance upon an Important economic
topic.
IT is quite too common an ocetironco
for the purchasing agent of a state in
stitution to quietly Inform a friendly
contractor exactly what supplies are on
hand in abundance and what will bo
needed for the next quarter. The con
tractor therefore puts in extremely low
bids on the goods svhich will not be re
quired and names remunerative prices
for those which ho koowa will
bo in domaiui In this way his
nvorago prices are very low while
In reality ho IB so well paid for every
thing ho furnishes under his contract
as to onablu him to divide with the pur
chasing agent. In case seine ether bid
der than the particular friend is suc
cessful In spite of these nmnliiulatloiis ,
the shrewd purchasing agent whoso
"rako-olT" is not promising proceeds do-
llboratoly to deprive the successful bid
der of reasonable profits by making very
largo orders for goods In which there is
little or no prollt and very small orders
on such as will not the bidder good re
turns , The purchasing agent needs
watching at all public institutions. It
ho is honest the vljrlltureo causes him no
annoyance. If dishonest ho may bo

nil } Awnoi'iiurioxs ISSUE.
Onn of the strongest ruisvrors made to
the democratic criticisms upon the ap
propriations of the loat congress was
that of Secretary Foster before the Ohio
republican convention. The secretary
does not defend all of Iho appropria
tions. Ho frankly says there wore some
that should nut have boon made , but all
of tills character wore supported as
much by doinocr.its a by republicans.
"With rospcct to the othora ho maintains
that they are jiiHtillod by sound policy
and are defensible upon grounds of the
public good.
Scorutury Foster reminds the democ
racy that this is a growing country , nnd
that the appropriations must tiucoa-
sarily Increase from year to year. IIo
pertinently obsWvo ? that the receipts of
the postolllco department are no doubt
the best attainable to3t of the growth of
the country , and ho pruhontt 11 gures to
prnvo thnt the increase in these receipts
shows a greater percentage than the in
crease of the appropriations by the Fifty-
ursi congress , demonstrating uiui > u mu
latter had boon Increased at the same
rate us the postal receipts they would bo
3100,000,000 moro than they aro. The
secretary tlion proceeds to wmly/o the
Increased appropriations , and the
critlca of the last congress will
find very HtUo comfort In
the result. Particularly will demo
crats fall to got any comfort from his
earnest defense of the increase in pan-
slons. 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 .for 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 inlluonco of the proper application
of the largo appropriations for the agri
cultural department , and with equal
cogency and force ho points out the
good ellocts , roali/.od or certain of real
ization , of the liberal appropriations of
the last congress.
The 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
charge of extravagance , has thus far
failed. It will not succeed. The Ameri
can people are practical , and they will
not beliovc 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 bcnollt
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 tluit
sort of economy which fails to make
adequate provision for the necessities
created by the country's progress.

Now York will elect state oflicors 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 as practically settling
the presidential contest of 1892 in favor
of that party. If it should go democratic
it would remain in the list of doubtful
states for next year. It ia Interesting
to consider the chances of the parties as
now indicated.
The great want of the republicans of
Now York is a loader who can
unite them 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 llnd the right person.
Perhaps Mr. Dopow is the most availa
ble man who has boon named , but it is
undorbtood that ho could not bo induced
to accept the nomination. As a railroad
president ho has 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 , while defeat would bo a very
damaging blow to his prostlgo. It Is
not known that nt present Mr. Dopew
has any political aspirations , but If ho
has it Is not clear that they would
bo promoted by his becoming a candi
date for governor. It has boon sug
gested that the republicans should nom
inate a farmer who has boon faithful to
the party , but who has not buon a placo"
sooklng politician and has not boon of
fensive as the member of any faction ,
and the suggestion is good. There must
bo a number of thoroughly capable men
of this class in Now York upon whom
the party would bo moro llkoly lo unite
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 n time and try
some new men whose republicanism is
irroproaohablo , nnd who have not boon
engaged in the strifes that have
divided and weakened the party. It ls >
not to bo doubted that if this were done
republican chances would bo greatly im
proved.
The democratic situation is peculiar
and piu/.llng. Tills Is duo to the un
known designs of Governor lllll , whose
control of the democratic machine ap
pears still to bo absolute. The out
givings of the governor's organ have
Indicated that he contemplates serving
a third term , and It In by no moans un-
probable that this is Ills intention.
There arj precedents enough in the his
tory of Now York by which ho could
justify doing so , and the incentives are
very strong. In onlor to secure
any standing in the next
domociatio national convention
ho must retain command of the ptirty in
Now York , and while ho might do this
by naming his successor ho would bo
Certain of it if ho should succeed him-
aelf. Out ho cannot seek n third term
without giving olTonso to tx considerable
number of democrats to whom his
methods of promoting his political greed
must bo repugnant , and it is by no
moans to bo Inferred from his past suc
cess thnt ho could bo elected a third
timo. There Is reason to bollovo that
Hill has lost strength by hU course in
holding on to thoolllcoof governor after
ho was elected to the United States
senate , and as his plurality In 1888 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 better could happen
for the republicans than for Hill to run
again , but If ho natnDa the cindldato ,
and undoubtedly ho will do this , that
ought to bo almost as favor.xblo to re
publican success. It is to bo presumed
there are thousands of democrats in Now
York who would bo no more disposed to
accept Hill's creature than Hill him
self.
self.Tho
The democratic situation in Now Y.ork
as It now appears is favorable to repub
lican success , but the chances of the lat
ter party winning depend upon Its abil
ity to find n loader who can harmonize
the factions , untie the party and hold
It together. As wo have already said ,
this may bo somewhat difficult.
THK AVir/OAVUi COATAATJOA' .
The people of Minneapolis ropudiata
the statement telegraphed- that
city to the olToct 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 newspapers -
papers , loaders in local affairs and poli
ticians are moving heaven and earth ,
figuratively speaking , to make a good
showing in favor of their city.
Omaha cannot afford 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-
'fonbivo , which will deprive Chicago of
tlio 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 nro
less encouraging with the hope and.ex-
poctation 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 pri/o 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.
ACCORDING 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 har
vested hist year , and the general aver
age of winter wheat is reported to bo
90.6. The report says that whether the
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
moro remunerative rates. The opinion
is expressed that a largo demand for
wheat is 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
extension of wheat area , lost by oxcos-
slvo production there should bo brought
about a recurrence tof 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 , bccauso of
the oxhaustibn of the wheat area , are
not wildly at fault. At any rate our
farmers are not llkoly to jjo far astray in
this matter , and too much wheat is not a
danger to bo sorhmaly feared.

with far moro gabble than brains , has
the sublime impudence in a public mootIng -
Ing in Omixha to attack the consistency

beginnings were small , the struggles pront ,
but the indomitable pursovoranca was alike
in all cases. Mr. Hosovvater is ono of the remarkable - j
markablo nnd forceful mon of the west ,
and probably bus a moro thorough knowl
edge of the politics of Nebraska than
any other man in tha 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 and his
party's policy , when they did not commoud
themselves to bis judgment , and yet the
party nt Nebraska cannot do without him.
Efforts have often been nude to keep
him ou1 ; of his party's conventions ,
but nt the last moment , when
these efforts were thought to bo
successful , lo. there was Edward Rosewater ,
cool , keen , alert , as usual. Mr. Rosowaler
once told the writer that the BSE was an
accident , not an intention. It was not ex
pected to survive the occasion which gave it
birth. Had it been , ho said ho would pro
bably have chosen another name for it. It
was meant only to sting for n time , but cir
cumstances willed that the "business end"
of that BEB should continue in business , and
its puncturing apparatus was never more
effective than it Is today. Wo heartily wish
it another twenty-year anniversary.

Falrbury Enterprise : Tnu BBS Is pub
lishing Interviews to show that the people of
Nebraska favor the holding of the national
republican convention at Omaba. 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 dead. 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 to bo hold anywhere in
the \vest outsldo of Chicago , there Is no
doubt that the claims of Omaha as to ability
to "accommodate" the crowd are as good as
these of any ether city , not excluding Minne
apolis. That any of these western cltios can
"accommodate the crowd" is a bit of humor.
Chicago itself does not do it.
Sioux City Journal : Council Bluffs is
doing every thing possible to help out Omaha's
aspirations after the next republican national
convention. Indeed , Council Bluffs may ba
said to bo taking the lead In the business. It
s different with the Minnesota towns. Min-

appointment ai deputy Inspectors , under the

members of the board are too busy trying to
llnd out what the law contemplates and re
quires to have any particular concern ubout
grain Inspectors. Although the bill was
framed upon the lines of the Illinois law , the
state oillcers are not familiar with the opera-
lions of the latter , and the Nebraska act Is a
puzzle to them. The sociotuvlcs of the bo.ird
have also boon sot to work to unravel its
mysterlos , but thov , too , confess that they
have not yet solved the riddle. Members of
the board talk of going to Chicago and St.

llkoly the soerotartos will bo sont. The
board will act ou the opinion of the attorney
general that the net docs not tnlcu c.fTeot until
August 1. The governor appoints the chief
inspector , but the board names the deputies
and llxcs all salaries , which are to bu paid
from the Inspection fees.

oMacbeth's " pearl top " and
"pearl glass" lamp-chimneys
do not break from heat , not
one in a hundred ; they break
from accidents. ,
They arc made of clear
glass as well as tough , as
clear as crystal. 1 hey 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
chimneys , and , as they do not
break , he is apt to be anxious
lest they stop his trade. Di
minished sales and less profit
are not agreeable to him.
