'fl\o \ iKissngo liy the senate of the bill
oroaling a department of agriculture ,
to bo equipped oMIclully us iiruthoolhor
executive department * of thu govOrn-
incut , makoH It probahlo that the great
agricultural Intorvxt of the oounlry will
Hjieudllv Imvo a moro conspUniousropre-
sentntlou In the government , It Is to he
hoped with larger benulll to that In
terest.
The olTort to orealo a doparttnont
having exocutlvo funotloiiH which
should have specllle supervision of the
agricultural Industries has been
made In every congress for a number of
years , and thu promise that it will b
consummated 1 * due to the increasing
inllueuco ot thy west in that body. The
demand for such a department has come
from thu west and has found its chief
opposition in the east. The market
gardeners and small agriculturists of
the later section have never taken any
interest in the question , having necu.4- .
sarily no enlarged idoiis of the great
ness the agricultural Industries of the
country , nnd quite generally the
representatives of that section
In congress have been hos
tile to the proposition for cre
ating a department of agriculture.
Formerly the south manifested little
concern in the matter for the reason
that the agriculture of that section was
not greatly diversified. Tlio west ,
however , with its vast agricultural de
velopment and its greater reliance
upon this source of prosperity and
wealth , has urged that agriculture , us
the foundation of the national welfare ,
merited a larger recognition in the
government and a more comprehen
sive care than could bo given it by
n more bureau. It has been main
tained that an executive department
of agriculture , such as exists
in Germany , Franco and other
European countries , would enable this
vast and ox pan ding interest , as yet far
from its possible development , to re
ceive moro and bettor attention from
the government , greatly to the common
welfare.
This view has been making steady
progress , despite the obstruction of tlio
disinterested and the advocates of a
narrow economy , and there is now very
favorable promise that the country will
have udopartmont of agriculture organ
ized as are the other executive depart
ments of the government , and hav-
inir the authority to do something
more than to issue crop , bulletins
and distribute seeds. The mat
ter of establishing such u de
partment is purely practical in its character -
actor , and wo may be largely guided in
our expectations regarding its probable
usefulness by the history of similar de
partments in the old world. In several
countries of Europe agriculture has its
ministerial representatives in the gov
ernment , and its interests and welfare
ecoivo the most careful consideration.
There does not appear to bo any good
reason why the greatest agricultural
lation in the world should not devote
; t like attention to this vast interest ,
which is the enduring basis and bul
wark of our national progress and pros
perity. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Art Culture in Oinalia.
Art and art culture have up to this
time received but indifferent attention
in Omaha. It was too much to expect
art culture in a comparatively young
city whose activities wore all centered
in commercial and industrial enter
prises. But wo arc now entering a new
ora. The evolution which Omaha has
undergone within the past two years
in her architecture precedes by natural
degrees the transition to metropolitan
culture , which has its culminating
point in art. The preliminary
stops toward making Omaha an art
center have been taken. An art association -
ciation has been organized which gives
great promise of vitality and usefulness ,
With the Hon. George W. Lininger ,
who is ono of the most liberal patrons
and amateurs of art in the west , at its
head , and a mombershipof over seventy
professional artists and amateurs , the
Omaha Art society is destined to become -
come an important factor in art culture
in this city. Mr. Liniugor tins generously
ously offered the use of his famous gallery
lory to the society for its first oxliibi
tion. which will take place some time ir
November. In this interim those wh <
desire to encourage art culture ii
Omaha should manifest their Intores

The blunt old soldier , General Sherman

the earth the American style of hand
shaking is the worst. Ho lias accord'

The rejection by the senate of the
proposition to transfer the weather
bureau of the signal service from the
war department to the proposed agri
cultural department may not be a mat
ter of very great Importance. The
country euros very much less ns to
Uleh department the bureau is at-
tauheil than It does for tin improvement
of tliis servtio ; In the matter of predic
tions. Nobody who knows anything
about the subject win say that the
weather bureau is not Important , or
that it ban not done much valuable
service. Referring to it in the com-So
of a debate in the senate a few days ago
Mr. Dawos said that though defective
and not producing the best possible re
sults , it had achieved moro than any
other system in the world of that kind.
"There is in no other country , ' * said the
Massachusetts .senator , "such an organ
ization that has accomplished such mar
velous and useful results us this. ' ' In
equally strong terms Senator IMatl com
mended the labors of tlio weather bureau
as having contributed moro to the
knowledge of atmospheric and climatic
phenomena than any other insti
tution of the kind In the
world. "I think. " ho said , "the
result of the knowledge which has been
attained through tlio deliberations and
the studios and the experiments of this
signal service is in advance of the
knowledge of all the rest of the world
at the present time. I think wo may
boast ourselves that we tire a stop fur
ther along the roud to knowledge in
this subtle realm than any other
people. "
This is excellent testimony , which
ought to satisfy every reasonable man
that i't is desirable to continue this
service and render it more thorough
and ofllcient and useful improve
ment , which it confessedly needs. The
question is whether the desired pro
gress is more likely to bo effected by re
taining the weather branch of the ser
vice , which is practically all there is of
it , in the military department of the
government or transferring it to a civil
department. The chief argument of
those who advocate the transfer is that
the service is essentially civil in its
character , its connection with the mili
tary affairs of the government being
comparatively unimportant , but on the
other hand it is maintained that it
would be extremely unwise to take this
work out of the hands of the men
who huvo become accomplished in
t nnd intrust it to the
hands of those who have hud no ox-
porionco. andM'ho would have to rely
purely upon theory resulting from a
superficial study and of the knowledge
which has been acquired as amateurs.
There can bo no question as to the force
of this objection to a change , and in
association with other not less import
ant objections induced the senate to reverse -
verso its action of last year , when it
voted in favor of- the proposed transfer.
It will perhaps bo wise on the purl of
tlio house to concur In the action of the
senate if thereby the question
can bo settled long enough
to enable congress to ascer
tain and provide whatever may bo nec
essary to remedy as far as possible the
admitted defects in the woatlier service
and encourage a higher degree of efll-
ciency. Very little improvement and
progress can bo hoped for so long as
congress is undecided as to whore this
service shall bo continued , and mean
while the marine , commercial und farm
ing interests will continue to have
cause of complaint that the service is
unsatisfactory. The country wants the
weather bureau , but it wants it materi
ally improved.
THU members of the Society of the
Army of the Cumberland have just held
their annual reunion at Chicago. Gen
eral Koseerans was elected president ,
and among the vice presidents General
ELurrifon'ri name appears. The reunion
of the army corps which achieved so
much glory in the war was saddened by
one thought only. The face of General
SheriUan , for many years president of
the society , was missed. In the tributes
paid to his memory his old comrades re
called with pride his great achieve
ments. It is in such gatherings as those
that the Humes of friendship kindled on
the battle field burn all the brighter
through the years of pence.
Tin : efforts of a number of Omaha
physicians to invoke aid for the yellow
fever sufferers at Jacksonville , nec-
ended by prominent citizens , must com
mend itself to benevolent and humane
people. The rapid spread of the
scourge to other cities and whole sec
tions of the south may. however , re
quire a broadening of the channel ol
substantial sympathy. It may become
necessary to extend national and state
aid to the stricken people , and provide
the moans for subsistence of nil who
may bo in want and distress. The in
itiative has already boon taken in con
gress and in the largo cities.
is considering the
question of burning its garbage.
Doubtless this will ultimately bo the
practice in all largo cities of this coun
try , as it is in most of the cities of Great
Britain and some of the other countries
of Europe. In England they Imvo what
they call "destructors , " and the process
of burning garbage in Birmingham ,
Muuolioster , GlasgoWi and other cities ,
has boon brought to perfection with the
most satisfactory results , On both sun
itary and economical grounds the best
way to dispose of garbage is by burn
ing It.

The Fairmont Signal says that "O. W.

Some candidate has evidently fulled to
shake hands with the editor &f the TcUuman

The Columbus Journal concludes a lodge
editorial on the democratic villillcation of
Governor Thnyer , as follows : "Tho talk con
cerning Tliuyer being a monopolist is bosh.
To ho in public life as long us ho hns , with
the high positions ho has occupied , und to bo
worth only about S2.COJ , is , of Itself , almost
enough to refute the Ilimsy lie. "
The Madison Reporter still keeps the name
of O. L. Laws at the head of its editorial
columns as Its candidate for secretary of
stnte , but remarks ; "Secretnry Laws , by
using his Influence to delay the action of tlio
board of transportation puts money Into the
pockets of the railroads nud empties the
Dockets of the people nnd nt the same time
asks them to elect him again this fnll , thut ho
may repeat the operation. Every voter , re
gardless of party , should see thut he is well
snowed under. Teach him to be honest at
least. "
The Ulysses Dispatch sizes up Lnws' action
as follows : "Secretary of State Laws will
lose the votes of a considerable number of
anti-monopoly republicans by his sudden Hop
to the railroads , Just at a time when Treas
urer Willard and Attorney-General Lceso
needed his votes to reduce the freight r.Ues
In this stute. And lie deserves to loose them.
This paper sots him down as u fraud , trying
to hoodwini : the people whom he never in

The Nebraska City Press hns discovered
anothci ; postmaster whj > is an "offensive
partisan. " It sayst y'Tle Press is told that
the postofltco at SyrAcuK is being used In an
improper way to assist the democratic cause ;
that 'pernicious activity' is apparent to the
patrons , who lind forced upon them copies of
partisan papers for which they never sub-
scrioed and which they do not want , the
p.irty who handles the mails insisting on
their taking thei1. . "
The Grand Island Independent touches on
the state cuinpaicn in the following vigorous
manner : "The proposition of the democratic
state central committee to light it out on their
'prohibition' and 'tariff reform' issues is per
fectly ridiculous. Th < ? ro is no prohibition
issue between the republican nnd demo
cratic parties. The majority of both parties
doubtless is against it , and only a minority
of cither for it. This issue , if it comes up nt
all in the legislature , will have nothing to do
with the old party lines. Members of both
old parties will be on cither side
of this question. And with the 'tariff '
reform , ' 'protective system , ' 'free trade , ' or
whatever it may ho called , wo in Nebraska
have nothlni ; at nil to do. Our state und leg
islative oflleer.s have no i nllucnco on these
questions. The only question , on which sill
our elections turn , is tlio railroad issue ; the
question whether the railroads or the people
shall rule our state. And the democratic
state committee is guilty of a political crime ,
In obscuring this true issue and raising false
issues. In acting thus the committee shows ,
that it does not understand the situation , or
will assist the railroads. "
"Mr. Laws should not bo allowed to think
that ho can deceive the people of the state by
long letters nnd explanations , " suys the York
Times. "They do not want a secretary of
state for wnat ho can say , but for what he
docs. State ofucors cannot learn too soon
thut the average NobrasKun is not a chump ,
but on the other hand is a smart , far-seeing
nnd wido-nwako Individual , and if you want
to fool htm you will have to devise somu
smarter scheme than Mr. Laws hau yet de
vised. His resolution was what the railroads
wanted and not what the pjoplo wanted , and
they know It Just ns well as docs Mr. Laws.
It will not help him any to try to throw mud
at Mr. Loeso , a man who took the right and
honorable ] position in this matter , und hns
shown a disposition to mnkc the railroad
companies obey tlio law. 'Hy their fruits ye
shall know thorn. ' Talk and windy news

know the difference between It and fruit. "

The nomination of Mr. Lec.so was made possible

agement knows , or can possibly Know , Just
how many new voters thcro will be this year.
A Philadelphia dispatch says that assess
ment rolls shows nn Increase of 20,000 voters
in that city. The new naturalization In all
eastern cities will be large. The number of
voters coming of ago in excess of the num
ber removed by death is about 8 per cent
every four yours -that is , about bOO.OOO iu
the country. The party which neglects or
fails to convince the new voters may bo sure
that shouting and the Hare of torches will not
make up for that ncglecG '
Must the Old Human Go ?
C/nrfiimili / Gazette.
There is a scheme , born of the desperation
of the democratic party , to get rid of Thur-
nian und stick Gray of Indiana on the ticket.
The fact of the idea of abandoning the old
bandana in the middle of the big road while
it ruins shows the condition to which the
democratic party Is reduced.
As the current runs the democratic party
is defeated. The Oregon , Vermont nnd
Maine news show the public drift. The
democrats confidently claimed Oregon and
were in expectation of news in their favor
when the thunderbolt from the North Pacific
struck the St. Louis convention.
Possibly it would be u grand stratagem to
bounce Thurmun , but there is no possibility
of changing the result by thut or any other
action of the party.

"Yes , sire , " said Daniel , putting down a
large volume.
"Woll , Daniel , can you toll me what is the
difference between free wool and free
whisky they are talking about so much ( "
"I can't ' see that there Is any worth men
tioning , sire. "
"Of course you can't Daniel , " continued
the president , putting him on the head ; "but ,
Daniel , you never tried to drink free wool ,
did you ! "
Then the president laughed loud and long
ut his Innocent und obtuse secretary , and
Daniel sat down in the valley of the shadow.

How dear to my heart is the vote of Texas ,
Old Texas that nothing can swerve from our
side , Old Texas that's solid and sure for the
party Though the enemy como like a fast
flowing tide ; Old Texas , where shotguns dis
cuss public questions , And whcro the six-
shooter speaks up sharp and quick , Where
they monuments raise to the lute Colonel
Howie. And voting is apt to make niggers
quite sick ! That old solid Texas , that cer
tain old Texas , that moss-covered Texas ,
where Hourbons are thick.
New York und Now Jersey they're gene
from us surely , And so has Connecticut
fudeduway ; Indiana for us is a snare nnd
delusion , And the rest of the North , it was
always astray ; Hut there's Texas , old Texas ,
down there In the corner , And with heart
overflowing to thee will 1 sing , As I ponder
and fancy with fond recollection , And think
in November what catnlort you'll bring !
Thut solid old Tc as , that moss-grown old
Texas , that .dead-sure old Texas. Democ

Shall I toll you where , and whmi ?
On the limps of the world you'll riml it not ;
Twns fought by tlio mothers of men.
Nay , not with cannon or battle shot ,
With sword or nobler pen ;
Nay , not with eloquent word or thought
From mouth of wonderful men.
Hut deep in a wallod-up woman's heart
Of woman that would not yield ,
Hut bravely , silently bore her part
Lo ! there Is the battle field.
No marshaling troop , no blvouao song ,
No banner to gleam and wave !
Hut oh , these battles ! they last so long
From babyhood to the grave !
