TO TBS EQUATOR BT RAIL.
The project of a pan-American railway
to connect the continents of North and
South America is still commanding In
terest on the part of the men who bave
Identified themselves with It and the
promise of the ultimate consummation
of the great project appears to be Tery
favorable. The scheme was first pro
posed at the con pre s of American re
publics held in 1880-00 and was approved
by the second congress held in the City
of Mexico In 1002. This congress in
vited the United States to take the ini
tiative and to that end a permanent com
mittee of five was named by the presi
dent of the conference. Of that commit
tee Mr. Henry G. Davis of West Vir
ginia Is the chairman, the other members
being Andrew Carnegie and the minis
ters to this country from Mexico. Peru
and Guatemala.
A few days ago Mr. Davis gave a din
ner In Washington in honor of the com
mittee and had as guests the diplomatic
representatives of the South and Central
American countries. In speaking of the
proposed intercontinental railway Mr.
Davis referred to the rich possibilities of
the countries of the south, which he said
have all the resources that make for ma
terial wealth and prosperity. He ex
pressed the belief that with a through
Intercontinental trunk line no foreign
power would be able to Interrupt trade
relations. He spoke also of the political
and commercial importance of the pro
ject to the United States. A letter was
read from Andrew Carnegie In which he
assured his fellow members of the com
mission from our sister republics of the
south of his unflagging interest "In bind
ing us all together by bands of steel n
brothers," and expressed the view that If
the United States gave the $100,000,000
toward the railway now spent yearly on
the navy, conditioned upon the South
American republics pledging their credit
for an equal sum, "we should do more
to eliminate the element of danger,
which, at best, is small, than we shall
with all the warships we can build." It
will thus be seen that the men who are
promoting this project have abundant
confidence in It and are earnestly of the
opinion that it would be of great benefit
both commercially and politically.
Tie proposition is to build a railway
line connecting the svRtm nf tin
United States and Mexico on the north
with those of several countries on the
south traversing all of the Central Amer
ican republics and all of those In South
America which touch the Pacific ocean.

The construction of such n niiirav

enterprises it is by no means improbable
that the plan of connecting the northern
nd southern continents by rail will be
an accomplished fact within a genera
tion. The southern countries are mani
festing an earnest disposition to co-operate.
With the Panama canal built and
an International railway connecting the
systems of this country with those of
the countries south of us, the problem of
commercial relations between the United
States and the southern continent would

For at least a third of a century the
name of Joseph R. Ilawley has been
prominently before the country, re
spected and honored for valuable serv
ices to the country as soldier and states
man, lie served the public in many
spheres and always ably, fearlessly and
rruuiuuy. ms career was singularly
earnest and active. In bis youns- man-
hood he was among the earliest to re
spond to the first call for soldiers to de
fend the union and in the army made a
splendid record. After the war General
Hawley came to the front In civil life,
becoming governor of Connecticut in
1SC3. He was several times elects tn
the lower house of congress and took
his seat in the senate in 1881. servinz
eighteen years in that body, where until
prostrated by the illness from which he
died he was a commanding figure. When
the centennial exposition at Philadelphia
was organized General Ilawley was
chosen president of the commission and
in this position displayed marked execu
tive ability, very much of the success of
that enterprise being due to bis skillful
direction.
It has been Justly said of General
Hawley that he belonged to the race of
American statesmen, soldiers and"clti
sens who have made their country great,
honored and strong by their patriotism,
their unsullied lives and their quick re
sponse to the call of duty. His death
deprives the country of one of its purest
statesmen and the senate of a member
who never failed to preserve In bis oflj
clal and personal life the finest traditions
of that body.
VPLimxa THE IMMIGRANT.
In a recent address President Roose
velt made an appeal for the uplifting,
botn physically and spiritually, of the
thousands upon thousands of Immigrants
pouring into this country. He said that
the United States government does en
desvor to do Its duty by the lmmle-ranti
who come to these shores, but unless
people have bad some experience with
the dangers and difficulties surrounding
tne newly arrived immigrant they ca
naraiy realise how great they are. The
president declared that if we do not take
care of these people from abroad, "if we
do not try to uplift them, then as sure
ss fste our children will pay the pen
alty. If we do not see that the Imml
grant and the children of the immlirrant
are raised up, most assuredly the result
win be that our own children and chll
flren s children are pulled down. Either
they will rise or we shell sink."
jue auvice is sounq ana will be so re
garded by all who are not controlled by
a blind and narrow prejudice. It may
not be easy to indicate Just what should
be done to meet the obvious duty which
the president points out but those who
realize the Importance of the matter and
take a proper Interest In It will find a
practicable way to fulfill the duty. The
Immigrant who conies here almost unpro
tected, knowing nothing of our language.
our institutions, our customs, our habits
of life, and who by reason of this Ig
norance may become the prey of wicked
and unscrupulous people, as too often
happens, must have a helping hand held
out to him and be made to feel that in
this land of enlightenment and freedom
he Is secure and can live In safety and
under right guidance if he will. To do
this Is not only humanitarian, but it Is
likewise expedient In our own Interest
since the impression to be made upon
the newcomer must induce him to form
at once a favorable opinion of the land
which he is to make his adopted borne
and thus lead him to assiduously seek to
acquaint himself with Its institutions
and customs. There are some, perhaps,
who will not agree with the president's
view, but who believe, rather, that the
Immigrant should receive no considera
tion after the government is through
with him and be left to shift for himself.
This is what the Immigrant has had to
do in the past. There Is reason to think
It will not be so in the future. The in
dication of this is altogether gratifying.
TttE COLORADO COMPROMISE
The people of Colorado have reason
for self-congratulation over the termina
tion of the gubernatorial contest that
threatened to culminate in anarchy. For
all that however, the Colorado com
promise is a travesty upon popular gov
ernment. The only issue before the
legislature was whether Teabody or
Adams had been elected governor. It
did not admit of compromise and cer
tainly not of a compromise which virtu
ally gave the office to a man who had
not even been a candidate before the
people at the election.
From the partisan point of view the
compromise will be hailed as a repub
lican victory, but It is one of those
vlctorieo republicans cannot feel proud
of. The fact that at least twenty-two
republican members of the legislature
declined to go on record against Gov
ernor Adams without exacting a pledge
from Peabody that he would resign the
governorship immediately after he was
declared elected and the fact that this
pledge was carried out to the letter in
dicates clearly that Peabody's title to
the office was questionable.
It is to the credit of retiring Governor
Adams that he spurned the advice of his
friends to hold his office by forcible re
sistance and yielded peacefully to the
verdict of the legislature, which in this
instance was the tribunal of last resort
His course throughout the controversy
has been moderate and dignified, in
striking contrast to that of his opponent
The Colorado compromise is without
precedent and it is to be hoped that no
occasion will arise again in Colorado, or
In any other state, for its repetition.
Such deals are destructive of popular
self-government and of Incalculable in
Jury to' the political party that resorts
to them in order to maintain temporary
supremacy. A similar compromise of a
gubernatorial contest was attempted in
Xrli""ska in 1891, but it met with stern
and had a decided setback at the
hauus of a republican supreme court.
THE TREASURY MERGER.
The proposed merger of the city and
county treasuries will necessarily involve
some drawbacks as well as benefits. The
main object of the proposed consolida
tion is greater economy, efficiency and
simplicity in the collection and disburse
ment of public funds in the city and
county. y
Under the exist! ng system city and
county taxes are payable at different
times of the year and taxpayers are seri
ously inconvenienced by being compelled
to pay taxes to two sets of treasurers in
the city ball and court house. By mak
ing the county treasurer ex officio treas
urer of the city the office force as well
as the offices will be consolidated and
taxpayers will only deal with one treas
urer once each year. The most con
servative estimate of the saving to be
effected is $25,000 a year, which will be
equal to a reduction of one-quarter of 1
mill.
From the point of view of some heavy
taxpayers theobjectlonable feature of the
proposed merger is that it will require
payment of personal taxes for the city
and county at the same time in the same
year, while now these payments are sep
arated by a period of more than six
months. The same complaint would, of
course, apply also to the smaller taxpay
ers, but you cannot eat your pie end keep
It at the same time. You cannot bring
about the consolidation of the two treas
uries and effect the expected saving
without the consolidation of tax pay
ments at least for one year.
TO continue the present system of
county taxes payable at one time and
city taxes payable at another time would
compel the county treasurer to keep a
double set of books and Issue a double
set of receipts. Consequently, no saving
could be effected in clerical expense. At
the very worst any defect In the pro
posed merger of the county and city
treasuries can be remedied within two
years, while the consolidation really will
not go into effect until after the month
of May! 1006. If it is deemed desirable
the legislature of 1007 can amend the
charter so ss to make taxes payable
semiannually.
THE COWBOXIS TACT AXD IX FICTloy.
The visit to Washington of a band of
cowboys right off the ranges of the west
to participate in the Inauguration fes
tivities sooms to have proved a dismal
disappointment to some of our friends
In the effete east who expected quite
different things from what they saw.
According to one account of the in
auguration, the people in Washington
and those from abroad were particu
larly struck with the good conduct of
the cowboys. From the tales with
which they were familiar they Imagined
that the delegation, whose coming had
been announced, would be of a wild.
boisterous, dissipating character, and
they were greatly surprised to find that
Instead the party was made up of
"gentlemen," who. ""while anxious for
all the fnn and pleasure at their com
mand, were never once rowdies, or
boisterous In their behavior." More
surprising still, we are told, "not one of
them Indulged too much In liquid re
freshments, and, as for politeness, they
were models that might have been fol
lowed to advantage by many of the
other inauguration visitors."
The most disheartening disappoint
ment, however, seems to have come to
the women, who stood still in amaze
ment when they discovered that they
were not being lassoed by the horsemen
and carried off captive to the distant
ranches. The cowboys actually accom
modated themselves to hotel life as If
they were accustomed to It and when
ever they met a woman in the hotel
corridors or parlors "they invariably
took off their hats and bowed to them
in a most polite manner." It Is said,
even, that some of the cowboys were
so modest that they blushed when the
women spoke to them.
Thus has another myth been punc
tured and the eyes of the east opened
to the fact that the cowboy of the dime
novel survives only in the blood and
thunder plays of the" cheap theaters.
The only thing that remains of the cow
boy in his decline Is his plcturesaue
personality and bis versatility in the
sports of the plains. He no longer re
mains a distinct species separate and
apart from other members of the human
race, but constitutes merely one of the
variegated elements of our American
citizenship, and, at that one of the
elements that will hold its own well In
comparison with the others.
Former Postmaster General Wynne
finds himself unable to accept a beauti
ful silver punch bowl presented to him
on bis retirement from the Postoffice
department by bis associates because of
a provision In the law forbidding the
acceptance of presents from subordi
nates In the public service. Simultane
ously with this Incident Speaker Cannon
is made the recipient of a loving cup,
symbolizing the esteem and affection In
which he is held by members of the
bouse regardless of partisanship, where
nothing in the statutes compels him to
return it to the donors. There Is, of
course, a reason, and a good one at that
for the difference between the legal pro
hibitions upon rresent-taklng by the
occupants of the two positions, but that
Is poor consolation for Mr. Wynne and
his admiring friends.

If President Roosevelt Is to go to
Colorado on a hunting expedition next
month he might easily lay his route so
as to put Omaha on the Itinerary. In
view, however, of the certain pressure
from other places Omaha would have to
put In a claim at once and urge it
strongly if we want to see the president
enroute.
Harper's Weekly prints an article, and
a cartoon intended to reinforce it mak
ing the assertion that the control of
elections in this country by purchased
votes is a growing menace.; That the
corruption of voters is a menace to every
popular government goes without say
ing. Whether this is an increasing or
deceasing evil in the United States Is
not so certain, although we have no
adequate statistics to furnish conclusive
proofs one way or the other. The mere
fact that we hear much more now about
venal voters and that the country is more
thoroughly aroused to combat this dan
ger does not mean that votes were not
purchased by the wholesale and the
elections bought with money in times
gone by. Every development In our
election laws has been toward the pro
tection of the ballot box by making it
more difficult to buy votes with a cer
tainty that they 'will be delivered. The
secret ballot under the Australian system
was, of course, the greatest single ad
vance In this direction, but there can
be no question that progress has steadily
been made toward a better enforcement
of the election laws. The showing that
more money is used in elections of late
years does not prove that more money
is used corruptly. A great deal is yet
to be done, it is true, to Insure un
trammeled expressions of the public will
through the ballot box, but there Is no
occasion to be pessimistic about it.
Senator Burkett is feeling the weight
of double responsibility now that in ad
dition to his senatorial duties, he has
the business belonging to the vacant
congressional place of the First district
devolving upon him. He ought how
ever, to be quite equal to the task, es
pecially when be remembers that Sena
tor Thurston a few years ago found
himself loaded down as the sole re
publican senator from Nebraska, with
four congressional districts In the hands
of the fuslonlsts, and still survived.
The proposed Inscription on the sol
diers' monument to be erected In Omaha
is made to apply only to soldiers. The
suggestion has come to The Bee that it
should read thus: "To the men who
fought and died for the union." This
would embrace those who were in the
navy as well as those who fought on
land. The suggestion seems good and Is
commended to the attention of those
having charge of the monument arrange
ments.
Another change of government agents
has been ordered for the Wlnnebsgo
Indian reservation. It Is to be hoped
the new agent will be on bis guard
against the gang of land grabbers and
grafters that bas infested the reserva
tion and whose grip seems at last to
have been loosened as a result of Father
Schell's rigorous campaign. The new
agent can make a record for himself by
helping his good work on to completion.
Why is It that the estimates made by

Sympathy for the I nfortnnate.
Baltimore American.
It seems that there is a great deal of In
dignation among the stock raisers at find
ing that tha Beef trust is not making
money. This Is a pitch of generosity which
really was not expected of .them. One
would have rather imagined them gloating
over the misfortunes of their natural
enemy.
A Farewell Joke,
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Many people are still taking Dr. Osier
seriously, despite the fact that he insists
upon having it understood that he waa
only Joking. When a man of Dr. Osier's
age Insists upon joking something should
be done to him, although we would not
go so far aa to recommend the use of chloroform.
Admirable and Timely.
Chicago Post.
What President Roosevelt has to say
about the training of children is admirable
and particularly apposite just now, when
there is so general a tendency to make
money simply for the material advantages
it offers.

REMODELED.
When a deed is ione fur freedom, through
the broad earth's aching breast
Runs a thrill of joy prophetic, trembling
on from east to west;
And the slave where'er he cowers feels the
soul within him climb
To the awful verge of manhood with an
energy sublime
When olI Henpeck gets the nerve up to
go out and have a time.
