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.

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

Vdernl government was .f > 00,0K ( ) . All
this aside Crom the exhibitions of the
cotton states , northern states , foreign
governments and private corporations ,

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

the work must necessarily be borne1 by
llio business men of Omaha. The busi

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.

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.

In the late election the people lost their
heads. They lost sight of the Issue , which
was good government 'for a term of years ;
they voted tor bad government when good
government was a cqntcstant in the field ;
"and now It will be becoming In you , whtn
you hear of rascality In the public service ,
that you hold your peace ; do not peep !
Down Rosewater ! Not much ! HP willyet

whom he has burled once , whom you have
resurrected to destroy you , and whom he will
bury again to eave you !
I have always had the greatest confidence
in the great middle class citizenship of this
city nnd judicial district ; but what "you did
November B has shaken It to th ? csnter ! You
elected n Judicial ticket ranging from Indlf-
crent to bad , when you were offered one rang-
ng from Indifferent to excellent ; you elected
a city ticket that , In the main , means the
continuance of the iniquitous government of
he past with few of its excellencies , when
you were offered what was very much better !
Your greatest offenro was , you lost your
leads. You joined all that aggregation of
nen , good , bad and in different , whoso first
object was to down Rosewater , Including all
hose camp-followers , political gutter-snlpos ,
religious , social and political dead beats ,
bums and blatherskites that he had struck
lown to defend you and me from dishonesty
n the public service.
You have olscted a clerk of the district
ourt who nominated himself ! The prize was
an olllco that a thousand competent men in
his city would be glad to fill at $2,500 per
year , but which , by a wicked system of fees ,
iau swollen to the abinlest : proportions.
Mr. Stair and many others say the ofllco
hould be made a salaried one instead of one ,
vhlch , In these days , lays grievous burdens
ipon the mortgage debtor who Is forced to
eo his home mid for a eong to pay debt:1
xpandcd w < th Jarge Interest , couponed nnd
ompounded past endurance ! Yon will not
eo this righteous result , for you have elected
a man who Is backed by the federal power.
Do you know what that means ? It means
lie aggregation of all tli ? corporations and
arge capitalistic Interests of the Hate ; these
ntcrests elected this man against whom , per-
onally , I have nothing to say , These In-
erests will run your legislature. You joined
hese Intercuts as you joined the deadbcata
aforesaid , because you wanted to down Itoso-
vatcr ; when you said you wanted good gov-
rnment you talked through your hats , or
ou were swerved by unworthy motives , or
ou did not know enough to see what was
good and what was bid. You great middle
laaa citizens joined monopolies. ' and dcad-
jeatH anil the enemies of good government.
Citizens ! Chumps ! W. J. liryan'a paper
upported this man and the whole gold bug
epubllcan ticket. Dryan helped to slay hlb
rlenda ! Llryan has the blood of his friends
on his handy !
I did not join the citizens' movement be-
aiino I did not HKo It altogether , and voted
nly a part of its ticket ; that which was
good , Dut any Influential body of men. any
car , who will glvo us a good citizens' ticket
o vole for In lieu of HIE- bought and paid for
Ickets of partluan political conventions , Is

The drnth ot Rev. 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.

NIGHT.
W. H. Theme In Olobo Review. -
O Night , upon thy pillowed breast.
We lay oilr" weary beads to rest , "
And trust , thnt He , the robin's nest
Doth tend , will grant our boul'H request ;
And so we sleep and dream.
The glow of sunset fudes apace.
And countless stars their circles trace
Throughout Illimitable fpuco ;
Wblle over nil the human rnce ,
Thy blessing brood anil lly.
O. night ! thy euro Is very sweet :
Without It , weary , tolling feet
Would meet the dny In sad defeat ;
Thy messengers are strong nnd licet.
While thus wo sleep ana dremn.
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 Hongs hnj'e fall'n and fled ,
Thou blmlcst up the weiiry springs ,
Of thought and life ; through countless rlnct
Of Influence , our hurts and stings ,
Thou hcalest quite ; thy nngcl tint's
Our broken hearts to rest.
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.
