ANOTHKII week has rolled by but the Union Depot company 1ms not yet sug gested u compromise of the controversy which has deprived the patronj of the railways interested of decent depot facilities. Accounixa to the verdict of the English jury in the divorce suit Karl Russell is a respectable husband. The onrl's testimony controverts the verdict , but the jury did not consider him alto gether truthful. THIJ oil inspectors who do not enforce tlio dofootivo law and thoStnndaid Oil company , which ilagrantly violates It , are both censurable. However , Tin : BKE is not making war upon the inspectors specters except incidentally. BOYCOTTING a railroad for paying ticket commissions has not proved profitable and the ticket agent can once more assume tlio airs of the hotel clerk. Tie is sure of his commission no matter ever what road ho tickets his passenger. n English labor commission opposes barmaids. Tlio picturpsquo females have hitherto bcoti the chief attraction in English ale houses and the labor commission is attaching an evil which has lonp boon tolerated chiefly because It was ovil. SOME of tlio San Francisco hoodlums who liavo delighted hitherto in making existence uncertain and miserable to tlvo Chinese of the coast metropolis should bo sent ever to China to take the place of the missionaries whom the celestials are stoning and otherwise persecuting as "barbarians. " the many benevolent , charitable - itablo and religious organisations in Omaha deserving the good will of this community none is more worthy of cordial Biipport and encouragement than the Young Men's Christian association , It is n positive patent force in the social economy of Omaha. A COAT of tar nnd fonihots was ap plied to a gay doctor In Joluibon county as n hint from his neighbors that his presence in the community was dis tasteful. The festlvo physician is op posed on principle to advertising and consequently this conspicuous attention is decidedly offensive.

Wo ought by all moans to use the County Agricultural association as the nucleus around which to organl/.o a creditable- exposition , and this Is one thing to which attention must bo given this winter if anything worthy of the city ana county is to bo accomplished next September. calamity croakers who have been so prone to point the morals of their harangues with references to the better financial condition of distant lands are reminded tiiat within u month immense financial institutions have crumbled in Germany , China and Aus tralia. It is not many months since the great London house of Baring Bros , wont into bankruptcy , and not quite a month has passed since the Russian gov ernment was bogging tlio Rotlisohlldu nnd other great bunkers for n loan which they hesitated to grant. The fact h , wo are doing bettor in America nnd our financial outlook is moro -encouraging than that of any other great nation on the globo. HVltAI , VHKK M lir. Not the least interesting part of the annual report of tlio postmaster general relates to w.hnt has been accomplished by the experiment in the rural free de livery of mull matter. The last con- gloss appropriated 310,000 for this purpose , nnd the postmaster general states that the appropriation "showed nil yigns of actually earning ever 48,000 , and this most interesting fact is probably the beginning of universal free del ivory , and that would mean countless bonollts for rural dwellers. " Experimental free delivery olllcos wore established at forty-six places , at thirty- nine of which there was shown a total inuronso of gross receipts amounting to tv llttlo ever $0,000 , while at sovoii of the ofllcus tiiore was a total decrease of gross receipts of $700 , leaving a tulanco of over .f. " > ,000 of increase of gross re ceipts. A part of this was duo to natural growth , but fjitlto as much of it [ a to bo attributed to the free delivery. Taking this lesult.asa basis , the post master general computes the probable net earnings under larger appropria tions , it being understood that the service would bo put on In communi ties of areas nnd densities of population similar to that al- 'ready experimented with. Ho prop erly rog.irds the showing as wonder ful , and nearly nil the postmasters at the experimental olllcos speak in praise of the service and report that it moots with the unqualified approbation of the patrons of the olllcc.s. In advocating the extension of rural free delivery the postmaster general applies to it the practical arguments which distinguish liis treatment of all matters connected with the postal service. Ho urge ? that the rural dweller pays the same ratoa of postage and has the same right to the common postal facilities as the inhab itant of thd city has. "Indeed , " says the postmaster general , "it is fair to question whether , with his papers and books and packages that ho receives , ho does not do moro postal business than his city cousin does. Often ho makes many long , disagreeable trips to tlio postoflico ' 'without result. . Surely if every trip that ho made were to yitsld him a piece of mail the process would bo bad economy , because he would bo doing almost as much traveling and would consume almost as much time us a single messenger would in serving the whole neighborhood. His local paper , perhaps his city daily , would coma regularly without effort on his part , and his whole homo life , his information , his inquislt- ivonoss , Ills ambition , would bo quick ened. " The extension of free delivery would bo of immense value to the business man in the town , tending to stimulate his enterprise and thereby increase his prosperity. The policy also has a social aspect , and in the opinion of the postmaster general "tho regular arrival of the paper or magazine , the easier ways to correspond , tlio general process of sending and receiving things by mail , will not only keep many of the boys and girls at homo and make them contented there , but will add to their ambition and their de termination to make the o d farm pay. ' ' All the praotio.il con siderations are distinctly favorable to the extension of rural free delivery , first to districts whore there is reasonable prom ise of the service being self-supporting , and gradually to all accessible commu nities , until in time the system shall be come practically universal. When'this is accomplished the postal service will have become what it was intended to bo , a moans of prompt and safe communica tion supplying , as far as practicable , equal facilities to all the people. T.AlT lltiUKS < > J' 3WX.111T. Munkaczy's great painting in the art exhibit has boon by far its most attrac tive feature. On the canvas the nrtiat has portrayed a fact iu the life of one of the greatest composers the world has ever known. Ho actually died compos ing the "Requiem. " Through iU melan choly strains the life of the genius passed from earth. This event occurred exactly 100 years ago yesterday. It was fitting indeed that the day should have boon commemorated by the local association for tlio encouragement of art. Mo/.art's childhood , youth and oirly manhood wore free from care. Tlio precocity of the infant was not outlived by maturity. The child in ills ease was father to the man , and his artist father proud of the genius of his son , though comparatively poor , gave to the lad all the opportunity needed for the development of the powers of harmony God had implanted in his slight frame. The hopes of the boy nnd the confident anticipations of the father wore bright as mnrvelous ability in the ono ana clear understand ing in the other could make them. Manhood alone brought disappoint ments , for the Inspirations of the artist wore in advance of tlio ago in which ho lived. Ills pure soul , his remarkable - able powers could not bo appreciated by the rabblo. Haydn know his ronl merit and the loving father , faithful wlfo and a few soul-frlonds appreciated him. His art burnt out his life and his poverty crushed the embers Into the quickening flames. He died in absolute want , with his wife too ill to minister to him and was hurried to an unknown paupor'a grave. Hit * 77 ! ) known works are nearly all immortal. Ho died at 35 , but what a wonderful work ho wrought in these brief years ! Among all the sad tales of struggling and disapnolntod genius none moro pathotio than that of the last ton years of Mogul's life have' econ committed to paper. Salzburg , the birth place of Mozart , is the nursery of the highest genius which the world of harmony has produced , In the llttlo valley wlioro Mo/art first saw the light "of day Haoh , Handel , Ilaydon , Mozart and Boothoyon wore born. Those Gorman masters compose an Illustrious quintette , and they mark thogoldon ago of music. Mozart alone of all these noble artists had a pleasant early life. Hniidol's violent father refused to per mit his son to indulge his passion for music and the lad was forced to steal his Instruction. Haydn was poor and neglected. So also was Boothovon. Yet Mo/.nrt , equal to any , and in some respects greater than all , was not gifted with that essential clement of a happy life which in mo.lorn times .vo call the ability to got on In the world. It wa ) this misfortune of plnfh ing poverty which so urn illy envnpaA the wlnga of a gonhtt which undo ? moro favor.iblo circumstance * in It : lit Invo blessed the world with other anil econ hotter melody. Ono cannot rea 1 of 1iU pure domestic life , his gonoroits , impul sive friendship , his toworlng In difference to the applause of people - plo and potentates whom ho kno w to bo of Inferior taste , his guileless sim plicity , hl.s unhappydeath In what ought to have boon the prime of a lovely , beautiful , soul-satisfying llfo without a mournful sisnso of the Ingratitude of the world and the misfortune which some times attends the career of the loftiest mindj. The sentiments of Amelia Gore Mason in closing un admirable nrtlclo In the December Cciifurt/nro well worth repeat- inir here : "iJut genius left Us own imperishable monument. The world still laughs and weeps ever Mo/.art's divine creations , when ho who would have been gladdened by its sympathy is no longer conscious of it. The inspired singer of Salzburg , who folk so keenly and voiced so perfectly the joys and sufferings of Humanity , sleeps In nn unknown grave , but his sorrowful face looks back upon us today across the mists of a century crowned with a radi ant immobility , though veiled in olor- mil tears. ' ' iA * AM rr It has boon fully demonstrated that warships equal to any in the world can bo constructed in American ship yards by American builders. The ability to do this is the crowth of a few years , and furnishes a striking illustration of the readiness with which the people adapt themselves to every demand upon them. When the work of creating a now navy was undertaken during the adminis tration of President Arthur it would have been impossible to construct in this country such an armored vessel as the Now York * , launched a few days ago from the yard of Cramp & Sons on the Delaware. There was then no American designer who had such knowledge of the details of modern naval architecture as would enable him to design such a ship , and the plants did not exist In this country necessary to supply the engines , batteries and armor. Even so recently as the Cleveland adminislra tion , during which the work of creating a navy made marked progress , it w.is deemed expedient to purchase foreign designs. But a decided impulse had been given to the study of modern naval architecture , with the result that tivery now ship designed under tlio 'present ad ministration is distinctively Anio'-ican in all respects , and there have luen es tablished plants oitp.iblo of supplying every requirement of a first olnsi war vessel. When it is considered that this attainment of engineering talent and ship building rcsouicoi has been accomplished in less than nine years , it rollecls the very highest , credit upon American talent , energy and en terprise. The launching of the New York is regarded in naval circ OB as flvJrking anew now epoch in the historv of the United States navy. When completed filio will bo by all odds the greatest warship ever in the navy of this country and one of the greatest in the world. She w.ll be , in fact , the first ro.illy great vessel of u navy which , if carried to comple tion on the lines now marked out , will bo easily the foremost in the world. This now addition to the naval for-co of the country Is not what Is called a b ittle- ship. She is denominated an ar mored cruiser. But she is some thing moro than is comprehended by that term. She is described us both formidable and defens ible , capable of accomplishing a great deal that the batlloahlp may do and of avoiding a great , deal that tlio battle ship would liavo to submit to. In a word , while there are few armored cruisers afloat that could withstand her attack , thorp is not a battleship in the " navy of any "nation that would have a certainty of vanquishing her. The progress that is being -made toward the creation of a II st-olass navy ought to excite the patriotism of every American citizen. ! ! _ contains the promise thnt + vvlthin a few years the United States will be in a position , not only of complete security against foreign onomicti. but also able to command the respect of foreign nations and a proper consideration for her rlghU in every land. It was said in a recent interview by Secretary Tracy that a ere it com mercial nation needed a great navy. The wisdom of this is attested by uni versal experience , and the American people have not awakened any too teen to its realization. The experience of the past year has had a most potent intlu- oncoin convincing the popular judgment that the time has come when the United States , as one of the foromojt commer cial nations of the world , seeking con stantly to extend her trade relations , cannot afford to be without the means to defend her commerce or. every sea and protect her rights in every land. 'Jin : General Nelson A. Miles In his annual report to the secretary of war nnd in newspaper interviews supgosU the ad visability of mobilizing the militia of tlio several states at the World's fair , His theory has not been combattod by any civilian so far as Tin : Biu has ob served. On the contrary , his acl'iomo seems to have boon very generally favored. It has boon hold that such a massing of the cltl/on soldiery would be very improsslvo to our foreign visitors and would stimulate the organisation of btato militia. The training in the manual of arms and other tactics of war which could bo obtained with an army of militiamen massed at Ctiicngo would bo invaluable. Hxeopt in time of war the citizen soldier can form no concep tion of gigantic military movements and cannot bo trained successfully to per form the military duty which warfare in these days of heavy battalions in volves. The Army and Xuvy Jiegitter , however , publishes a communication from Los Angeles , Cnl. , containing an Interview with an officer which antagonizes General - oral Miles' view with considerable vigor. The officer argues that it is Impos sible to carry out the plan with success- ntul regards It us Impolitic to attempt It unless stux'oas ounn \ assured. Among the reason * advanced for thfs view are the fiu't that nuphor congress nor the prosldont has authority to order the state militia fluC of thostitcsln which they reside nnd therefore the mobiliza tion could bOjOlTiictod only by general consent of the militia org.inzitlon. ! : The trnnsp'ortiVtlon ' of 103,000 soldiers would cost /1U Ifenut Sl,000ono. ! Thou maintenance i in ( C'htc.itro for ton days would Involve ! $1000,000 more. Unless the men could remain In Chicago six months Urthoro would bo noth ing gained In science by taking them thuro ' 'tit 'all. The members of the national , guard could not afford to remain away from their civilian occu pations for tint length of tlnvj mid If they could or would it would bo jinorlous matter in dollars mil cents for the com- tnuntltos invhtch they rosido. The militiamen would not bo willing to bo placed under the strict military disci pline or perform the arduous drill work for six months. Any attempt , to enforce regular army camp discipline would dlsorgnnl/o them ana they woull abandon the service. Flnnlly the olllccr clinches his opposition with thn argu ment that tlio impression would bo bad upon foreigners who are accustomed to military page mis upon n moro cxlonsivo scale than the proposed scheme con templates and our military display would bring us into deserve 1 ridicule The olllcor's objections are cortti nly well founded and If given gonor.il cur rency will probably demolish llio delight ful air castle General Miles lias erected for the citizen soldiers. The pride of America Is in the fact that a mm cm travel from Maine to California without seeing an armed sildlor ana possibly without .seeing a military uniform. Wo will probably receive mo.'o credit from our visitors if wo confine our World's fair to an exhibit of the achievement- peace and utilize only biii'h portions of the army and navy as can bo spirad from garrison and sea duty for the naval and military display. The Council BlulTs newspapers have been moro than usually ill-natured late ly.
