The dumping of a few car loads of slono

carcely afford satisfactory proof that

The fact tlmt the loading tnon in the
ntoretalo bridge nnd terminal project
tro connected with railroads that will
como squarely Into competition witli the
now bridge will reuse n suspicion In the
minds of our citizens that their sudden
itotlvity Is designed to block the Nebras

it will matter little to most of the , )00plo
whether the Nebraska Central Is built

Omaha's commerce succeed in blocking
the Nebraska Central by bunding an

'illK I'UliLIC VUUESJ.S.
The commissioner of the general land
ofllco recommends in his annual report
n general law on Iho subject of public
forests which shall make adequate pro
vision in respect to both forest rosorviv
lion and the cutting and removal of tim
ber to supply the public necessities. Ho
suggests that such a law should provide
for the immediate reservation of nil
public lands bearing forests or timber ,
except for entry under the homestead
nnd mining laws. Individual settlers ,
farmers , locators of mines , etc. , should
bo authorized to procure from the pub
lic timber lands such timber as may bo
imperatively needed to supply their
autiuil personal necessities for fuel ,
buildings , fences and the improvements
of their claims. The cutting or remov
ing1 of public timber for all other pur
poses than the above should bo prohib
ited , and n penalty should bo provided
for wasting or destroying1 timber on
public lands.
The commissioner snys that the pres
ent and pressing necessities of those
engaged in developing the resources of
tlio country make it a matter of un
questioned necessity to place an imme
diate and adequate supply of public
timber within proper roach , but , on the
other hand , a provisional care for the
wants of future generations renders
equally obligatory ofToctivo measures
toward the reservation of great portions
of the public forests in the interest of
proper conservation of the water suoply
and for other climatic nnd economic
reasons. Neither of those leading'
interests , the commissioner says , is fully
mot by existing legislation , many of
the statutes which have boon for years
in forca being objectionable , if not
practically inoperative , while the bene
fits of more recent legislation are not
fuifllclonlly general and farronching in
their operation.
These suggestions nnd recommenda
tions are not altogether now , but they
gnin in force every year from the steady
reduction of the public forests through
the unlawful cutting and reckless waste
of timber. Last year 329 timber tres
pass cases were reported by special
agents of the department , involving
public timber and the products thoro-
frora amounting to $171,000 , nnd while
thin has been exceeded In other years
it is a very serious loss thnt calls for
vigorous preventive measures. The
west is vnry deeply interested in the
question of proper protection for the
public forests , and western representa
tives in congress should carefully con
sider the recommendations of iho com
missioner of the go no nil land olllco re-
gnrding the legislation necessary for
such protection.
THK KUUO.lTIOff.lb UXIlllHT.
There is gront consternation and cha
grin among the educational loaders of
the country in consequence of the dis
covery thnt the World's fair managers
have curtailed the sp.ico utlotod to the
11 bo nil arts or educational exhibit to an
extent whloh renders it entirely Inade
quate , not to say insignificant A largo
number of prominent educators have
united In u call for a mooting of super
intendents of public Instruction , presi
dents of higher Institutions of learning
nnd others , to bo hold In Chicago on
October 4 , for the purpose of taking
measures to enforce u proper recogni
tion of the liberal arts In the exposition.
It is Rurprlslng that it should become
necessary to take such a stop us this. In
the early part of the preparatory work
for the oxpajltlori the authorities invit
ed every state in the union to prepare
for an elaborate- educational exhibit
and promised ample space for the
purpose. It was estimated thnt at
least 15,000,000 school children would
share In the exhibit , but it now
appears that the space sot apart
i'or It would not accommodate the work
of four slitos. At the outset -100,000
square foot in the building dovotol to
manufactures and thn liberal arts were
assigned to the educational exhibit , but
it now appears that this hns boon out
down to n , very small spnco lll-sultod to
the ustf for which it was intended
Tlirco Catholic institutions nlono hnvo
applied for 00,000 foot , but they are now
told thnt only 10,00) ) foot can bo nllottod
fo'r the whole o.lueUlomil exhibit of
tlmt denominationnml the result Is that
the Catholics tilk of withdrawing en
tirely. They had inton.lod to mtko n
great showing of the educational work
of thnl church in the United States.
The remedy proposed Is the erection
of n spoclnl bttllulng for the educational
exhibit , and the meeting of educators
that has bcon called will ontlonvor to
impress upon the directory the import
ance of taking such action at onco. It
needs no nrgumont to show that an ex
position designed to present to the world
the best evidences of American progress
woflld Inll far short of its purpose if it
failed in thn dqparttnotit of education ,
whloh is the chief cornerstone of our
civilization. In no line of advancement
hns this country achieved prouder
triumphs than in the diffusion of
knowledge among Its people , and Us
contributions to the world's wealth of
learning in every department of re
search nnd investigation hnvo been such
that every onllghtonod visitor from
abroad will oxpnct to eoo nn impressive
display in the libornl arls exhibit , at the
World's ' fnlr. Tlioro should bo no back
ward stop ; lot tho.scopo of this import
ant department bo enlarged rather than
contracted. All of the states are lire-
paring for their educational exhibits ,
the enthusiasm of teachers and ptipils
everywhere id Doing enlisted , and if
their ardor is not quonohod by a ro-
fus > al on the part of the directory to
provide adequate sp.ico the oducutlonal
dopattmont of Iho World's fair will boone
ono of its proudest triumphs.

The protest tiled by tlio property
owners on Loavonworth street against
tlio brick tlmt tire being used in paving
that thoroughfare has been considered
by the Hoard of Public Works ,
tlio city engineer and the as
sistant engineer , who nfM-eo in pro
nouncing the Lincoln brick lirbt class.
While wo do not profess to know any-
thine about the merits of the case , it
may bo worth while to say tlmt the citi-
/.ons of Omaha should not condemn pav
ing brick made in Nebraska without
making sure that they have good cause
to do ! > o. A largo proportion of the pav
ing brick that have been laid ir. this
city have been imported from neighbor
ing states. It is said by many who have
given attention to the subject tnat the
Lincoln brick are equal to the best made
in other states. If this is true it is clear
that the imported article should not bo
allowed to take precedence in this city
over the homo product. Even if there
is doubt on Iho subject the principle of
homo patronage should turn the ncnlo In
fjvior of the Nebraska producer.
It is acknowledged that the Lincoln
paving brick are smoother and quite as
hard as those that have bcon imported
from Mibbouri. Has it been s'ltisfactor-
lly proven that they will not last as
lonp ? Until it is conclusively shown
that the homo made article is inferior it
should meet with no objection.
POLITICS %
In campaigns past the effect of poli
tics on business has afforded hotnilcctic
writers a fruitful theme nnd many a pen
has pointed the inevitable moral , "Busi
ness must buffer when people attend to
politics. " So serious has this sentiment
been at times that the feasibility of
changing in some way the manner of
holding elections has boon discussed at
length , and the proposition thnt the
length of time which the president
shall hold ofiico should bo increased in
order to obviate the quadrennial recur
rence of a national campaign and there
by avoid the serious disturbance of busi
ness has boon solemnly considered more
than onco.
Mnny columns of figures hnvo boon
massed in a formidable array of statis
tics to support this theory that the
American people indulged In their
political dlvortisomonts so frequently
thnt their business nITairs sulTorod
greatly therefrom. It has not sufficed
to show that there were lines of trade
that are directly benefited by the existence -
once of an exciting campaign. The
argument hns always baun that the In
jury to the great ptaplo lines through
the depression resulting from a close
and exciting canvass was greater than
could bo compensated for by the tem
porary enhancement of trade in a few
specials.
This is only half truo. In some in
stances the oxcltouiont of the canvass
has interrupted for tlio time the steady
pulse of business , but the statement that
any general or porminont damage has
been done is hardly borne out by the
facts. It Is not u , dillluult matter to
array a collection of figures to shortr the
number of hours spent by the American
people in giving hood to stump speakers
during : the progress of the political
battle , or to show the round totals sup
posed to represent the cash expended for
ammunition of various kinds ; but it
docs not follow thnt extensive danrigo
to general business is entailed.
If the experience of the present cam
paign , no far as U has progressed , U to
bo accepted ns a criterion , it is hardly
probable thnt the count of the votes
will bo foliotvod by the usual demand for
an amendment to the constitution ex
tending the presidential term to six or
eight yours In order that the country
will not bo upset so frequently by elec
tions. Without discussing the progress
of the campaign otherwise , it may bo
stated that the business of the United
States as u whole shows for the lust
week In September nn Increase of 3.16
per cent over the corresponding week
of 1831. This IB outside of Now York ,
whioh city hns sulTorod severely ns the
direct result of the cholera scare. In
Omaha the Increase was 50.1 per cent ,
and in Lincoln , the only other Nebraska
city reporting , the increase was 14.8 per
cont. All the true jobbing centers show
goodly advancement in the total value
of trade , and outside of Now York and
I Boston the fulling off ls noticeable only
In the roportffnf these plncos which last
year were doin Jjuslnujs on a fictitious
or "boom1 b.i'is. The careful study of
the tabulated clearing house statement
ns furnished by Hradslrcol's will give
ussurnnco to people who nro Inclined tote
to think the Amorloans cannot elect a
president , without neglecting tholr busi
ness.
IlltJ ItMl.lllUn SITUATION.
Omaha Is particularly Intnrcstcd in
4ha existing railroad situation nnd what
may result front it. As was stated Hi
the news columns of Tin : Knuafow
days ngo , If tlio Union Pacific submits
to the decision of the commissioners of
the Western Trnlllc association , requir
ing that the short ralu made by that
load to Montana points Hhnll bo aban
doned , It will work it hardship to Mis
souri river gateways , among which
Omaha will be the chlof sulTo.or , since
it would doprlvo the Union Pacific of
Montana business. The moti.o of Iho
commissioners In taking the action they
did is not entirely clour , but tholr decision -
cision would seem to have bcon prompted
by the Hio Orando Western , which wns
doubtless inlluonccd by the rivals of the
Union Pnclfic. This appears to bo n
fair inference from iho fact that the
former road does no business from Mon
tana points to the cast , so that the rate
made by tlio Union Pacilic in nowise
worked n hardship to the Western.
The decision is to take ofi'cct October
10 , and as yet nothing hns transpired to
indicate what i-ourse the Union Pacific
will lake , though there Is understood to
bo a feeling In the olllcinl circles of thnt
road favorable to getting out of the
association rather than submit.
This is but ono of a number of circum
stances thnt threaten n general break
ing up of tralllc associations. The con
flict of interests hns now ooon waging
fiercely for weeks , and the number of
roads tlmt have given notice of with
drawn ! from the agreement , entered into
a yonr or moroupro leaves little prospect
of main tain ing any association unless
BOino now plan can bo devised which
will bo nccoptnblo to nil lines inter
ested. With a view to this the committee
of vice presidents and general managers
of the western roads will moot next
Tuesday , when it is hoped thnt some
thing may.bo accomplished to prevent
a return to the old order of things , but
it is probable that very few railroad
olllcinls seriously expect any practical
result. The experience that has been
had in this matter is not at all encour
aging to further effort to bring the
roads into harmonious relations , and it
cannot bo said that the lessons of the
past are particularly valuable in point
ing tlio way to n bettor state of affairs
in tlio future. When the Western
Tralllc association was formed it wns
supposed to bo nn ideal arrangement ,
but it has u ttorly failed to accomplish
its purpose. This is mainly duo to the
fact tint t all the roads did not enter the
association , but of these thnt did all aid
not comply with the agreement. An
other weakness1 was in the fnct thnt
there wns no power or authority to com
pel ob diouco. Can any plnn bp devised
thnt wilt bo accepted by all the roads
and which will include provision for en
forcing the conditions of the agreement ?
is the auestion that is perplexing rail
road olHcinls , or such of them as really
desire to work in harmony.
Tjio situation renews the suggestion
of a money pool as the simplest and
surest solution of the problem , nnd it
must bo admitted that there is much to
bo bind in its favor. But a money pool
to bo fair and effective would have to ho
subject to government supervision and
regulation , and it is not certain thnt
this is what the railroads generally de
sire. The people , however , would not
approve of a return to the old pooling
system , independent of government con
trol.
KKVIVAL OF AMKItlCAN
The admission of the Intnan line
steamers , City o"f Now York and City of
Paris , to American registry places this
country in n position with respect to
transatlantic commerce which it has not
occupied before in many years. Wo are
now provided with two record breakers
of foreign build that nro famous all over
the world , but this is only ono stop to
ward the establish'rent of a transatlan
tic steamship service under the Ameri
can Hag. Contracts have already boon
lot for the construction of two raoro ships
to nn American linn , the Cramps of
Philadelphia , and it is confidently pro
dieted thnt they will be the best nnd
fastest steamships nllont In addition to
these two , more ocean llyora will soon bo
built by the same firm to represent our
commerce on the Atlantic.
Meanwhile the foreign steamship
companies are not Idle. The Cunard
company has just launched n now vessel
tlio Campania , which is expected to bo
the fastest , ns it is concededly the
largest , of tlio ships built to ply botwcor
England nnd the United States. In a
bhort limo a sister ship to the Campania
named the Lucanin , owned also by tlio
Cunnrd company , will bo launched. I
is expected that the speed of these now
ships will bo phenomenal , and their
carrying capacity will also bo groat.
The Campania is forty foot longer than
the City of Paris and eighteen foot
longer than the Teutonic and Majestic ,
her length over all bulng 020 foot , while
her gross tonnage is about 12,500 tons.
She is provided Avjlli the most powerful
triple-expansion engines over placed in
any vessel , and it Is said that she will
easily average twenty-one knots un
hour , with n possible average speed of
twenty-two knots.
As an tncontiVcPto produce vessels of
the greatest po sjblo speed nnd ( rawer ,
the builders of "ineso two newCunurdors
have hud In view the proposed construc
tion of two record-breakers by the Whlto
Star company and two American ships
in addition to these already mentioned.
It is evident that the Campania and the
Lucaiiin will bo noble vessels , and as
they will cost millions of dollars it is
needless to say that they will represent
the highest mark of English skill in
every respect.
Dut the United States has always
ranked above Europe in shipbuilding.
It is well known that before the decline
of our merchant marl no begun , some
forty years ago , the fastest nnd host
ships on the sons were these which car
ried the American ling. Our packet
ships were the wonder of tlio world and
outsailed these of England with the ut
most caso. A few years before the beginning -
ginning of our civil war th merchant
mnrlnn of this country began to decline ,
nml from Hint tlmo to the present day
England hns ruled the setts It scorns
probable now thnt n now era of pros-
polity for American shipping is about
to bo ushered in. There hns been no
loss of skill or Ingenuity on the pirt : of
American builders or seamen , but vast
Interests nt homo have diverted atten
tion from foreign commerce for many
years past. In the matter of speed ,
American doslgnots of vessels Imvo
never been cqunlod. Ever slnco the
famous schooner yacht America sailed
away from Ifor English competitors at
Co woe In 1852 , out ; yacht designers have
bcon acknowledged to bo superior to
these of England , The Atnorlcn's cup
still roinnlns on this side of the oconn In
spite of ninny olTorls to regain It. In
tlio constitution of steam vessels of the
smaller types this country has also taken
the load , nnd the work of the mtuino
architects of the United Stales has bcon
copied all over the world It is there
fore perfectly reasonable to expect that
tlio ocean greyhounds now building in
this country , and those yet to bo built ,
will defy all competition , There is no
apparent reason why they should not
bo the bust ships nllont.

Sentiment In Trench rolltlcft.
Thro. Slanttin in Xorlh Aintncan llevtev. ' .
The sentimental side ot French character
comes out strongly during election time.
Universal suffrage is always porsonilled In
France : witness several examples of this in
the foregoing article of my friend Nuquot.
Ttio polling booth. Is tbo town hall , n school
room , a church porch or the mayor's private
house ; novnr a tavern , a bar room or n cor
ner liquor store. Tbo Judges sit with un
covered beads , without cigars in their
mouths , and every voter ro moves dls hat as
bo approaches tbo ballot box. Thus at least
ono of tbo stock arguments aeulnst woman
suffrage iloes not exist in Franco. There Is
solomnUy and stillness about iho act of vot-
nf , especially In tbo smaller cltiw , which Is
almost oppressive.

The opponents of the selection of WosUmg-
ton as the mooting place of the Grand Army
encampment denounced it as a southern city.
Of course It Is n southern city , founded by
eucli southerners as Washington nnd Jeffer
son , located in a southern latitude , pro-
tented lu Its Infancy by boutlicrnurs against
northern assaults , fostered by nuch south
erners as Jackson and ( /lay , and counting n
largo number of Mar.vlandors mid Yirclmans
in u population which includes ri'iu'cstmta
lives of all sections of the republic. Hut
aftur tbo experiences of tbo encampment the
bltterc&t enemy of the capital cannot fail to
admit that It is not merely u southern , hut a
national , city , the capital of the wait , east ,
north and south , which all true Americans
will regard with affection and pride , and
where all good Americans are at home.

tbo two candidates for governor , Lorenzo
Urounso and U. 11. Van Wyck. Is so obvi
ously and overwhelmingly la favor of tbo
republican candidate that It is stringo that
Van Wvctt should have any atioueth at all.
Emerson Kntorpriso : The logic of Judge
Crounso in his donate with U. II. Van Wyck
was too much for the latter and bo loet tils

ing his past record and the general got
"riled" up because the Judge got tbo best of
him.
Fremont Tribune : Van Wyok entered
Into tlie promised Joint discussion with
Crounso with manifest . -loo , thinning ho had

that when bo wont Into action bo spread
destruction on every hand along Van Wycu's
Blnuous political track and punctured the

HI-SB man as Judge Uralio the olllco us It now

Kohl is located on the frontier of Alsaco-
Lorraine , a bit of country between Germany

Alsace-Lorraine was llnallv hold by Ger

ho represented himself to Uo a badly
wounded federal soldier in the late war , and
It was discovered that ho wns not u union
