President Cleveland Is one of the few authors who has no dllliciilty In KetthiK u printer to publish his productions. That Is what the public printer Is paid for. The creation of nine new cardinals nt one consistory of the pope must make the cold shivers run down the backs of our apprehensive A. L > . A. friends. No , of course not. The controversy over the Oarfleld Incident raised by the publication of John Sherman's book would not be complete without a chap ter or two from ex-Senator Intjalls. Senator I'nlmer says he does not ex pect any legislation to speak qf from this congress either for currency or r to make up the dellclency. Senator Falmcr Is sure not to be disappointed. An enterprising mercantile ( Inn Is r circulating an advertisement headed "Use No .Soap. " We regret to express our fear that some people are likely to * ' read the announcement for whom the advice Is altogether superfluous. fc The clubs comprising the AVestern Interstate Intercollegiate Foot Ball as r * wiw sociation know about as much now as to the superiority of the respective college - lego teams as they did at the com mencement of the present foot ball sea son. President Cleveland has shown that he believes In shifting the positions of his cabinet ollleers when vacancies oc cur. 1C only enough vacancies occur Secretary Olney may have the experi ence of serving at the head of every one of the departments. The champion pugilist of America- emphatically asserts his Intention to retire from the prize ring. If he will scrupulously carry out his expression of Intention without delay the people will give him credit for one of the most sensible acts of his life. AA'estern railroads have come to an agreement to charge a stipulated toll for tnuisporflng bicycles belonging to passengers on their trains. In the meanwhile the man who travels with out baggage continues to pay for the five transportation of the baggage of his more fortunate fellow passengers. And the very latest Is that Nebraska may furnish ( lie presidential candidate for the prohibition party. AH The ISec has previously remarked , the names of Nebraska men will In all probability bo sorlonxly considered In connection with the presidential nominations of nil of the dllVerent political parties that have national organizations. The Atlanta exposition Is , according to reliable reports , demonstrating Its SUCLVSS II14HV and more as the time for closing approaches. The AVorld's Col umbian exposition closed on schedule time. It remains to be seen whether or not the promise of continued pat ronage will not persuade tlu > Atlanta exposition managers to extend the time when their show Is to be discontinued. II. L. fioold , republican candldatu for university regent , ran ahead of Charles II. Morrlll , his associate on the ticket for the siimi otllcc , nearly 1.000 votes. One thousand votes represents approxi mately the advantage of having one's nanin appear llrst on the ballot In the Htate of Nobnihka , If we assume that under ordinary conditions the two re publican candldaTes for university re gents would have polled the samu num ber of votes. The AVashlngton correspondent who can't give n complete outline of thu president's forthcoming message to congress In advance of Its composition is not up to snulf. Kvery erlMent scrlbn In the neighborhood of the white house knows what the president Is go ing to say , or at east what he ought to say. If some of these Journalistic Bccond-slght mediums have not struck a few things right it Is not because of too weak Imugiiiutlve powers. nn : .tfow : .v .VKi The modern newspaper has many slni tu bear upon It * shoulders. No Instltu tlon can exert n powerful Inlliifitce fo : peed without at the same time acqulr ln a power for evil. There are , It Ii true , newspapers thiit would bo n dl * grace to any profession. Itui Intelllgen people everywhere liavw come to mini ! that the reputable metropolitan ilallle : of the country are almost \\ltlioul oxcep tlon potent factors In tlm upbuilding menially , morally and materially , of tin communities In which they are pub llshed. It Is a matter of surprise , then , to Iliu the oft-recurring complaint that tin modern newspaper conveys a false im prosslon of actual life given a place Ii the Kdltor's Study of the current liar per's Magazine. As formulated by this critic , the chargn Is that "tho modern newspaper which reports dny by da } the accidents and the unusual In life : u news Is an untrue ivpoiter of the actual state of society and will be a poor guldi to the historian who refers to It aloni1 for his estimate of the social life of thu last quarter of the nineteenth century. " When II Is remembered thai the editor of "the study" Is also the reputed ed itor of a daily newspaper which Is con ducted no ( lltTureiitly from other news papers In towns of a similar character , we arc nt a still greater loss to under stand the reason for thlM arraignment. While no one will for u moment con tend that the modern newspaper Is per fect or an approximation to perfection , It can truthfully bo asserted that It IH the most perfect mirror of dally happen- Ings'all the world over that has yet been devised. AVlieu people complain that the modern newspaper gives but a frac tional view of passing events the Infer ence naturally drawn Is that the news paper of twenty-five years ago was much more accurate and more evenly balanced and that the last quarter cen tury has witnessed a marked deteriora tion in journalism. A comparison of the newspaper of today with any of It ; ) predecessors will quickly dispel this Illu sion. Never before has the newspaper reading public had access to so complete a record of current history or so truthful descriptions of domestic Institutions. This record Is of necessity made up largely of the accidents and the unusual , but If more accidents are now chron icled than formerly so Is more of the mass of domestic life reported. If the historian of the future will find the modern newspaper a poor guide for his estimate of our social life , where will he find a better guide ? Can he dis card the newspaper mid still write his tory ? AVould It be possible for him to portray the. salient features of the world of today without taking the modern newspaper Into consideration ? Let him compare himself to the historians of ancient Greece and Rome or to the his torians of less civilized nations , and then say whether the modern newspaper has not made his task vastly more easy. MILITARY PARKS. The secretary of war suggests In his annual report that it is important that congress should early adopt and con sistently pursue a fixed policy In re gard to the markingMf the battlefields of the civil war. lie says that If the plan of creating battlefield parks Is to be impartially pursued on the scale adopted at Chlckamauga and Gettys burg It must embrace fifty places where Important actions were fought and will Involve an expenditure of at least ? 20,000,000 , with additional expendi tures for maintenance that-may reach $1,000,000 yearly. The secretary rec ommends that congroMM authorize the marking of remaining Important battle fields In the manner adopted at Antle- ttim , which can be completed In a few years at a moderate cost , while the. project of more national military parks of thousands of acres , bought by thu government , involves the expenditure of millions of dollars and an Indefinite lapse of time before completion. It is not tit all probable that the people ple will approve of an expenditure of $ JOJOO,000 ( for the creation of national military parks , with an outlay of ? ! , - 000,000 annually to maintain them , and congress has undoubtedly gone as far In this matter as. there Is any good reason for. That there are fifty places and even more where Important ac tions were fought during the civil war everybody knows , but It would mani festly be n waste of money lo estab lish a national military park at each of these places. Half n dozen such parks are enough and that number will serve the purpose for which these parks are created as well as would ten times thenumber. . AVhat has already been done In this direction Is com mendable , but there Is no good reason for adding to It mid It Is safe to say that the Incoming congress will not do so. Perhaps tit some time In the fu ture , when the national treasury has t surplus , the matter of more national nllltary parks will receive attention , but 'or several years to come there should be 10 further expenditure than Is now or- lered for this purpose. MUST ItKMMK UOMOflKNKOUS. Ill one of his characteristic addresses ecently ex-Senator I-'dmunds said that t Is one people which goes by the name if the I'nlted Slates of America and eng will It continue to bo that If we L'ontliiue to remain homogenous. "If we ake Into It , " said Mr. Kdmunds , "un- isslmlhible elementi : , If we make Info cltlxens great numbers of persons who uive no understanding of things which wo have for u hundred years studied mil wrought for and Inherited , to be one > f us , we will then make a great mis take , but I do not fear It. The strong Kense of 50,000,000 of native born free- lien of the United States , In all their lovotlon to equal law and equal > rogrcss , will make them continue to be vhat they have been for the last 100 ears. " Tlu | distinguished statesman mil patriotic citizen has no sympathy vltli those who would have the United States reach out and acquire territory ar from Its boundaries , bringing with It o become citizens of the country peo- > les wholly different from us In char- cter , experiences , beliefs and traditions , vho know nothing of our political Instl- utlons and who could probably never bu brought to usblmllute with us. The congrctitf of representatives of state * adopted n resolu ( Inn In favor of the annexation oi Hawaii , notwithstanding | lu > sliilemrui that out of a population of loo.txio otil.i 7,000 are Americans , and there Is reasot , to expect that a vigorous elfort will In made In the national congress to seciin nn cxpiesslon favorable to Hawaiian tin nexiillon. Can any rational person doubl that If we annexed those Islands then would be serious vexation and troubk in subjecting to our system the natives half castes , Japanese anil Chinese win j constitute the large majority of the pop lulatlon ? All these would have n claln tu citizenship , yet none of them Is lit tc bo American citizens. The same mio bo said of Cuba , the ultimate annexa tlon of which Is the dream of sonu American politicians. H.v-Seiiator Kdmunds Is right In say Ing that the American people must re main homogeneous. Tptiu this largel.\ depends their future peace and progress The business men of Omaha must not lull themselves Into the belief that tin declaration of the Transmlsslsslppl con gress in favor of a Transmlsslsslppl ex position at Omaha in 18H8 Is all that Is necessary to insure the success of thai great enterprise. The unqualified am' unanimous endorsement of the project by the representatives of the tnuisnils- sisfippl states assembled In that con vention is of the utmost Importance as the first formal step. Hut If thu pro posed exposition Illustrative of the won- 'lerl'ul development and. marvelous re sources of the western slates Is to ma terialize in 1S1 > 8 the work which has been only begun must be. taken up and prosecuted with unremitting energy by all classes of our citizens. When The llee ventured the sugges tion of a Transmlsslsslppl exposition It adverted to the success which bad at tended the Cotton States exposition at Atlanta and held up the great Georgia fair as a sort of working model , accord- lug to which our plans might bo pat terned. The Atlanta exposition was In- spircd. planned and executed all within : i period of two years. The Idea was tlrst brought forward by Colonel AVH- llam A. Ilemphlll , who discussed the matter with a number of newspaper men on Christmas day. IS ! ) : ? . The proj ect was at once endorsed and both press and public entered heartily Into the work of preparation. An exposition company was organized by the citizens oC Atlanta within a few days after the Idea was promulgated. The city of At- hii'la subscribed a subsidy of $7.,000. llio county an equal sum , the railroads gave $ . " 0,000. the state of Georgia gave $ ' . > 0.000 , while the contribution of the Vdernl government was .f > 00,0K ( ) . All this aside Crom the exhibitions of the cotton states , northern states , foreign governments and private corporations , firms and Individuals. In order to create a Transmlsslsslppl exposition that will compare favorably with the Atlanta exposition a systematic campaign must be Inaugurated to pro cure the actual co-operation of nil the states west of the Mississippi , as well ; is the ? favor of congress. The brtiht.'of the work must necessarily be borne1 by llio business men of Omaha. The busi ness men of Omaha , however , are fully equal to the task. IHMKTAhUSM LV It Is the opinion of Ihe eminent French economist , M. Loroy-IJcauliou , that the chances for an International adoption of bimetallism arc less than they were four or ten or fifteen years ago , chiefly for the reason that most of the great coun tries have now accustomed themselves to the single gold standard , in practice If not by statute. Ho speaks of bimetal lism as an antiquated Institution nnd any restoration becomes more dlllicult with the passage of time. Another cir cumstance that makes against a restora tion of bimetallism is the failure of the efforts of this country through the Hlaml and Sherman acts. In view of the fact that these laws succeeded only In Increasing the monetary disturbance M. Leroy-Beaulieu says It will be under stood why European nations have be come more and more skeptical as to the Influence that International legislation could have In this matter. He says tliere Is not a single European country , in a normal financial condition , that at taches the slightest importance to bi metallism ; that not a government of Europe has the least wish to make the least change In the established mone tary system that Is , In the pre-eminence of gold and the secondary and circum scribed function of silver. There can be no doubt that M. Leroy-IJeanlleu spoakH authoritatively , but he falls to give due consideration to the popular movement In behalf of the restoration of bimetallism , which Is especially strong in England and Germany and may sooner or later compel the govern ments of those countries to take some ictlon favorable to bimetallism. The failure of Germany to Invite the nations to an International monetary conference certainly shows thnt'tlio gov ernment takes no very great Interest In the question of rehabilitating silver , probably from n feeling that there Is no liope of accomplishing that object so eng as England remains unfriendly to silver , but the question Is by no means dead In Germany , nor has the disap pointing attitude of ( he present lirltlsh ministry regarding It had the effect to destroy popular Interest In the mibjcct In Great Itrltaln. It is not to bo con cluded , therefore , that thn cause of In- tu'iiiitlonal bimetallism is hopelessly ost. Of course M. Leroy-Beaulleu ad vises that the United Stales shall rccog * nlzo In Its monetary system the pre eminence of gold , believing that by KO lolng this country can become equal to Great Itrltaln as n financial power. Practically the United States now rccoR. ilzes the pro-cinlncnco of gold , but the suggestion that It shall abandon effort o fcccuro the rehabilitation of silver hrough international agreement will lot bo generally regarded by our peoplq with favor , The largely preponderating sentiment of the country Is unquestion ably friendly to the white metal , and while there Is no probability of the United States ever taking independent nctlon to rehabilitate silver , It will con- tlnuu to do whatever may be safely dona for the while metal and will still urge tliu wisdom and expediency of uu In- Icriintliwnl ll-in. nnt TinromnirTYTfii Independence of Hit Cnllcil States wns not achieved null [ : < oule twelve yc'irs after our polltlca 'independence ' was acknowledged. II was In 17 r > dint wlint Is known a ; 1 tlit > .lay treaty was negotiated , Itj | which the I'lilted States obtained i commercial status nmong the nation' and secured privileges of the greatest Importance nml mine. 11 was dlstlnetl > u commercial treaty , nnd from llf ratification dates the beginning of tin uomnierelal Imfiortnnce of this country. It Insured the freedom of the seas foi American ships , free Intercourse ! by our Inland hikes nnd rivers , free ac > cess to the ports of ( Jrent Itrltnlu and Us colonies , the protection of llio American flag for our citizens , their ships and ihelr trade , the opening o ( the ports of the world to American enterprise and commercial genius. Mr. Canncey .M. Di > pe\v , In a letter to thu New York Sun , says of this Irealy thai from the year of Us ratification began American commerce. New ship yards were constructed and n fleet of American merchantmen were seen upon ( he seas. In > thu harbors of Great Britain nnd all the continen tal nations of Knropo anil In Hie ports the Orient appeared the American u.i \ under which the merchants nnd the traders of the world began to dis cover that there sailed a new , most enterprising and most adventurous re cruit to the rnnks of the trade and commerce of the world. Through the gateway but partly opened by the .lay treaty came a volume of trade which liberalized the laws nnd broke down the timehonored.restrictions . of the centuries. It was not , however , a popular treaty at the time of 'Us negollallon. Ills- lory records- Unit against It was the almost universal sentiment of the American people. When Alexander Hamilton sought lo discuss Ihe Irealy In public the people would not listen lo him and a mob burned copies of the treaty ou the Battery In New York , while .lay was burned In elllgy both In New York nnd Philadelphia. It is said that popular resentment was never more llorcely displayed , lint the treaty had the endorsement and sup port of the men of commerce , as being the best that could be si-cured at that time , .and when results begun lo show Its value the popular dissat isfaction with It .disappeared. The cenlefjnial' anniversary of the Jay treaty is to be celebrated on De cember II ) in New York by a banquet , at which 300 represenlatlve American business men will be present , tint ! the occasion Is expected to be of extra ordinary IntfrfMsf The idea of thus celebrating the foinmcrclal Independ ence of the .UJliflcd Slates Is certainly a commendaiJ ) } one , and it would be well if Ihe. ' < ent were observed In nil Hie larger lles of the eouiitry simultaneously with Its observance in New York. The story of the trial of the five re calcitrant members nf'the A. P. A. who were - suspended from' tile order in 1892 * by the stale president published in this issue of The Sunday Bee is the first accurate iccount of that sonsalional episode In secret society history that has gotten Into the public prints. The facts are inthentlc , having been obtained from the original documenls In Ihe case , i'he story should be of Interest to both members of the A. P. A. and Ihose who uive a curiosity to know the Inner workings of the order. Bad roads are dear at any price and ilways more expensive in the long run than good roads.

Dr. Hunucl Fraud Smith , author of the hymn "Amerlcit , " tin revived the error that the hymn wi wrltte In imitation of "God Save the Queen , " tic tlon turned Into fact to prejudice the genera or enthusiastic adoption of "America" as national hymn. Dr. Smith himself has told the story o "America. " In 1831 William 0. Woodbrldqe o New York was sent lo Ucrmnny to Inspcc public schools and to report upon them for the benefit of education in this country. Mr Woodhrldge found that music was ft uwsfii agent for many purposes In the flornmi school ) , and he brought home n number of the music books , which ho cent to Low ell Mason then the mu < t distinguished man of Ills class among American compojcry nd choir leaders Mr , Ma on having no k.iuwledge of the Gor man language , cirrled the Oermau books to Amlovcr to Dr. Smith , whom he .itkcd to wrlto translations ot the German words , or to write now hymns adapted to the Ucman music. The next year Dr. Smith was nt- tracted by n simple and n.Uurtil melody to patriotic German words. Seelnc that the air was available for n like purpose for Ameri cana he wrote In Indf an hour the verses which have ilnco bacit known as "America , * or "My Country , 'TIs of Thee. " At that time It will be remembered , Queen Victoria wac still only ii princess" , nnd Dr. Smith says that he was not aware that the tune was used Ii Kni-lancl for "God Save the King. " The fact that the Urltlsh , like ourselves , adopted this air from what source neither the/ nor we know , nor do the Germans know where they got It. It Is to be found In ancient folk melodies and Is as familiar In the far northern countries and In Franco as In Germany , Great Urltuln or the United StatoM. It Is as properly called the national air of Denmark as of Kngland , and was long prevalent In 1'russla and Saxony before It was widely known anywhere else. The simplicity nnd dignity ot the air ren dered Its universality Inevitable wherever It came to be known. There Is no reason , there fore , for the prejudice against "America" as an American national anthem , and until better music and more fitting words shall bj blended to make one , "America" will contlnuu to bo the favorite for all occasions demanding a national anthem.

Dear Night , throughout unnumbered year * Thy hands have closed the founts of teurn ; Thy klscs hoathed to rest our fears , In softest music on our cars.

Thy stars are seiaphs , spinning round And round tliiMr web In subtle sound Of lulling music , whose rebound Shall heal creation's deepest wound ; And so we sleep and dream. O Night , thy love Is passing sweet , Thy folded nrms , a foiul rotri > nt ; And iiasslon , hatred , burning beat , " All xlumber 'nenth thy gentle feet. Till time shall pass away.
