UXIVKKSITY "professors" draw fat salaries for lending their names to the agricultural farm , but all the hard work and responsibility fall on an underpaid foreman. There is a pin loose some- whore. DKFAUIVTBK JONKS , of Denver , fled to Canada , and lately notified the ofll- cors of a desire to give hhnbclf up. Ho is now in jail on this side the lino. It will bo interesting to note the unani mous celerity with which his example will not bo followed. NATURAL gas has boon struck in southern California and overtures are being made to pipe it all the way to San Francisco. As the distance is over three hundred miles , the experiment will bo watched with some interest. GHICMANY may keep out the Amer ican hog , Franco may put a tax on American wheat , but Italy can never repair the injury done us by refusing to allow an exhibition game of Amer ican bnsoball within the walls of the Colossoum. A PUO.TKCT is on foot to build a pipe line from Wyoming oil fields in the Big Horn country to a point convenient to bo tapped by the Union Pacific. What has taken place in Ohio and Pennsyl vania can not long be delayed in Wyoming. A NITMIJHU of fine farms in one of the riohcstagricultural counties of Pennsyl vania have recently boon knocked down under thohammor. This would indicate that agriculture in the Keystone btato is on the decline. The frugal Dutch farmers of Pennsylvania should como out to Nebraska iiiBtantor. ' NnnuASiCA's corn has become n great bone of contention between Now York and Philadelphia on one side and Balti more on the other. It seems that the railroads have boon favoring Baltimore in sending corn to that city for oxuort. Nebraska is willing to stand neutral nnd supply any or all the bolligcrants with the munitions of war. TIIK Northern Pacific railroad has transferred all its romuinirg land in Dakota , something over a million and a half acres , to a syndicate of Its directors which is disposing of those lands at a price only about one-third that rocoi veil by the Northern Pauillo for similar lands a year ago. Ts it by such moans that this railroad is trying to prevent ti forfeiture of unearned land grants ? ' A I'KTmox has boon laid before the legislature of Kansas which will cer tainly take the palm for originality nnd audacity. It is no more nor loss than a prnyor to the loglBluturo for the enactment of a law authorizing the 'lynching of horse thieves wherever they may bo found. In view of the fact that Judge Lynch heretofore has never dcomnd it necessary to seek formal authority for currying out his peculiar ideas of justice , It is hard to say whether Kaunas is justified in making so bold an innovation in the timo-honorod custom. NOUTHKIIN Colorado is threatened with a water famine , It is feared that the snow of the mountains will bo in- Bulllclont to feed the tributaries of the Plutto or to supply the water necessary for irrigation in Colorado this spring. This would be a most serious blow to the agricultural proapocts of that state for the present year at least. Thousands of acres which have boon brought under cultivation would become sturilu and valueless. The question Isamoitpross- Ing one , and it behooves the people of Colorado to tnko immediate action in order to store up all the water possible winch tfonorully gees to waste. FOUTt NEW STATnS. The vote in the house of representa tives Thursday on the resolution In structing the house conforceson the ter ritorial ndmbsion bill has vcn * much brightened the prospect for the admis sion of at least four now stales by act of the present congress. The action taken was also a very decisive robtiKo to the partisan shunting of Mr. Springer , the chairman of the cotntnittco on territo ries. As stated in our Washington dis patches , Springer has tried every ex pedient that partisan ingenuity could suggest to obstruct and retard the nd- mission of the territories ready to come Into the union , with particular refer ence to Dakota. Until overwhelming evidence was presented to the contrary , Mr. Springer professed lo bolloro that the peopio-of Dakota did not want division , and when this position was no longer tenable ho employed other devices - vices to keep the matter in controversy and postpone action. His obstinate in- bhlnnuc on the admission of Now Mexico ice with the other territories , rcbukbed on Thursday by the house , has boon so palpably partisan and designedly ob structive that it is not at all surprising thathc has boon deserted by some of the moro just and fair-minded members of his own narty. Mr. S. S. Cox , of New York , has been one of the few earnest nnd consistent friends of Dakota on the democratic side , and it is largely to bis inllucnce that the brightening prospect for that and the other eligible terri tories is due. His efforts to convince his party colleagues in the house ol theit * obvious duty in this matter have not been fruitless , and if the promise now held out is realized no man will dcborvo greater urcdit for the result. On the other hand Mr. Springer has lost a great opportunity to have made an honorable fame in this matter , and instead hag suffered rebuke at the hands of members of his own party and earned the contempt of all fair-minded men. The opposition of southern democrats lo llio admission of these territories may find &omo palliation. The creation of four now states in the northwest , all pobse sing great resources and certain to mtikn rapid progress in population and wealth , it is only to understand may be regarded by southern politicians as a incnnco to their future power in govern mental affairs. 15ut for a northern democrat who persistently labors to withhold justice from the people of tliebo territories there is no fair excuse and no mitigating consideration. IS 1IISMAKCK FOOLIXO BAVA.RDt The report that the proposed confer ence on Samoan ntTairs , to behold at Berlin , will probably not take place during the present administration , also convoys an intimation that the Gorman chancellor may be fooling the Ameri can socrotaryof state. Inasmuch as the former is. quite capable of doing this , and the latter would be an easy victim , the itloa is not incredible. It sou ms that the Gorman minister at Washington forwarded by mail Bayard's acceptance of Bismarck's proposal for " . conference , instead of sending it by telegraph , as is now the custom with diplomatic corres pondence that will admit of such trans mission. It may bo that the minister was influenced by considerations of economy , but it is rather more likely that the object , as suggested , was to effect delay , so that the Gorman government may have time to visit its wrath upon thoSamoans before negotiations begin. It will be the 20th of the current month before Bayard's communication can reach Berlin , and there is a sus- uicion that meanwhile Gorman eggres- sion in Samoa will continue with in creased vigor. A reply , if sent by mail , is not likely to roach this country before the present administration has retired , and thus the prospect is that the whole question will bo deferred to the next administration. This will not be a matter of regret if the interests of American citi/.oiiH in Samoa do not sulTor meanwhile , and there is reason to believe that the Ger man government will bo careful that they shall not. In any event the ad justment would have to bo comnloted under the next administration , and it therefore appears desirable that the conference should begin under it and bo conducted by a representative or repre sentatives of Uio government instructed in the views of the next adminibtra- tion on the subject. There is a well- grounded lack of confidence in the ability of the present secretary of state to boloct a parson for this duty who will properly represent the sentiment of the country , rather than the opinion , what ever that may bo , of Mr. Bayard. The proposed conference should settle clearly and permanently the rights of the United Slates and its citizens in Samoa , and in order that wo shall not lose any fair advantage whoever repre sents us must bo of exceptional ability for a work of this kind. The public opinion of the United States has been pretty fully and clearly expressed re garding the Samoan complication , and it demands that no fair and reasonable right of this country shall bo surren dered or imperilled. A CONSTITUTIONAL OtUCOTJON. All unlocked for objection was raised in the house of representatives yester day to the benato tariff bill. It was in the shape of a resolution declaring that the substitute for the house bill , under the form of an amendment , but bolng another and different bill , is in conllict with the true intent and purpose of the section of the constitution which pro vides that all revenue measures shall originate in the house of roprosontu- tiveb. The language of section 7 , ar ticle 1 , of the constitution is as follows : "All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the house of representa tives ; but the senate may propose or concur with amendments , as on other bills. " The objection thus raised in volves the question whether a practi cally now bill , submitted as a substitute , can properly bo regarded as an amend ment , oyen though it contain { tome of the features of the original bill , as is the case with the sonata substitute for the house bill. The question is a very nice one , nnd the dibousslon of the resolution that presents it cannot full to bo interesting. Webster doflnes an amendment to bu "any aituration lu a bill or motion by adding , changing or omitting. " The same authority defines a substitute to bo "that which stands In lieu of some thing else. " Jefferson's "Parliamen tary Practice'1 says : "Amendments may be made so as totally to alter the nature of the proposition. Anew bill may bo Ingrafted , by way of amend ment , on the words 'He it enacted , ' etc. " Under this ruling , the right ol the sonata to amend bolng distinctly conferred by the constitution , it would seem that its substitute must bo re garded as tin amendment if It contains nothing moro of the house bill than the enacting clause. It is hardly to bo sup posed tliat the learned constitutional lawyers of the senate would have over looked such an objection as Mr. Mills has raised If It possessed any force , and it may safety bo urodietud that the Texas blntcimnn will not bo able to sustain his quibble. TllKKUW VOSTOVFWU SITE. The attention of our citizens and property owners is directed to the invi tation of Supervising Architect For rot respecting the selection of a si to for the now postolllco builuing. It will bo noted that the government docs not intend to appoint n commission to locate the site as has been generally supposed , but invites proposals for a suitable site when a representative of the government will como to Omaha for the purpose of viewing and making a report on the various locations offered. As it is necessary for the proposals to bo in the bauds of tlio boerotary of the treasury by noon of February SM , it behooves those of our property owners , who have sites suitable for a public building to act promptly. Although the supervising architect calls for a lot whoso dimensions shall shall not bo less than SOOxlMO feet , the proposal practically calls for a square bounded by one of our blocks 204x231 foot. The method adopted by the gov ernment in inviting propo&als is equit able to properly owners and to the gov ernment. Nobody is restricted from bonding in his proposal , as the silo is confined lo no quarter ot the city. There can bo no charge of favoritism or undue influence brought to boar , as would likely happen were the selection loft to a commib&ion from the first , now that our people have an equal chance to hand in their bids. As it is , the spirited competition likely to take place among our property owners will insure the government notalonoa num ber of available sites from which to make a selection , but the price of the land will bo within reasonable figures. The inspection of the various locations to be made by an agent of the archi tect's oflico after the proposals have boon submitted will of courbO take into consideration the merits of the various sites with such recommendations as may be proper , The final selection , how ever , will in all probability bo loft to the supervising architect. The prospects for the speedy choice of a suitable location and immediate action in the erection of a great public build ing ore most encouraging for our city. TIIK question of jury reform is agi tating the people of several states. The abuses of the jury system have boon so flagrant that radical measures must be taken to preserve its purity. In Now York , Illinois and Wisconsin a move ment has been set on foot to alter the methods of selecting juries. There can bo no question that under the unsatis factory methods now in vogue of draw ing a jury the miscarriage of justice is of too frequent occurrence. The pro fessional juror and the jury < ixor are evils which must bo corrected if justice is to prevail. Many states have made a change in the traditional require ment as to the unanimity of the twelve in a verdict. California and Louisiana have passed laws making the agree ment of nine out of twelve sufficient in civil cases , nnd it is significant that Minnesota is seeking to introduce such n rule. Tiru legislative committee on appoint ments has reported a formidable list of house employes. Among thoin is the "Custodian of Cuspidors , " Presum ably it is his duty to see that members expectorate with accuracy at the vow- sols in question , and to remove evi dences of the occasional failure. Still an able-bodied janitor , and there are several in the list , might attend to this important duty. TUB slang , "In the Soup" is probably as thoroughly disgusting in its imbecil ity and crudeness as any that has ever obtained currency , oven in n country sadly addicted to slang. There is no possible excuse for it because the mean ing it purports to convey can bo better expressed in decent English. , Taiiiin is reason to believe that the legislature has moro clerks than a legis lature twice the size would need. It is so easy for a member to put his friends on the pay roll. In SQUID instances con- btiluonts got no other benefit. TIIK only objection to the postofllco proposals is that the notice is rather short , but wo must remember that lioubomoving is sot at the white house for two weeks from next Tuesday. Ir may bo mentioned as incidental tea a bill under discussion at Lincoln , that money lonnors believe heartily that a usury law would bo a bad thing.

Hut that unique 'figuro In the poli tics of Frauce Is again on top. The govern- iiont was pledged to make the proposal for revision the immediate order after the action on the bill changing the election system , and Floiuct ) Insisted upon carrying out this ar rangement. He ivns mot by u motion for the indefinite postjrojcmontof the n.uo.itlon , nnd though ho tnndo n vigorous fight , ho went down before n Inrpo majority , There was nothing loft for- the ministry to do but re sign , and this it , iUd at once. The opportunity was taken advantage of by Uoulnuiror to la- suon manifesto ; In which ho unsparingly de nounces the ministry and claims all the credit of its overthrow for his party. What tnay immediately cmua It oulil bo dlfllcult to conjecture , slnc jtho possibilities of the situ ation are numerous. There la a strong bul wark against seVfous peril , however , in Presi dent Carnet , Whrf is at full liberty to con struct a now i-.iblnot , If ho can llnd the men willing to accept the grave responsibilities ol the situation , while ho himself can bo rolled upon to stand ; firm at the helm ot state. IJoulnngcr , however , will endeavor to make nil he can out of the opportunity for Increas ing his popularity , and the auvnntagc of the situation seems to bo largely with him. * * The growth of liberalism In political gov ernment could not bo moro forcibly illus trated than hi the fart that a constitution for the empire of Japan has just been promul gated. It Is scarcely thlrty-llvo .years since American diplomacy removed the barriers that had so long existed in Japan ngnlnat for eign commerce , and since then the progress of the Japanese has been marvelous. The reformation of the pomil code , the elevation of the pariah class to citizenship , the aboli tion of the feudal system , reform In the mnr- ringo laws , the establishment of nn educa tional system on the foreign model , the adop tion of railways , telegraphs , steamship lines ami a poatofllco system , have followed with extraordinary rapidity ; ntul now , to crown all , n representative assembly of two houses , with legislative powers modeled after our own system ami the politic.il institutions of European countries , will enable the empire to taka its place In the ranks of constitutional governments. There can bo no iloubt of the success of the experiment. The people have shown themselves capable of solf-govcrn- ment , anil their aspirations have been uni formly encouraged by wise statesmanship. With the governing and governed thus in sympathy , ana with the arts nnd sciences of western clvilbation Ingrafted on the old learning and philosophy of the Orient , there can bo nothing but a luminous future for the people of Japan. "Hotter llftj years of Eu rope than a cycle of Cathay , " said the poet ; but Europe , with her repression of thought , with her attempt to sink all individualism In the "divine right" theory , might well tnlto pattern from this hopeful people who have turned their faces to the dawn , and who have already caught the light of freedom and of progress. * * The belief appears to be growing in Europe that Hinpcror Francis Joseph may choose to declare his young granddaughter Elizabeth the heir to the throne of Austro-Hunpary. Should he do this he would have u precedent in the famous ordinance by which Emperor Charles VI. of Germany , in the lack of male issue , settled the throne upon his daughter , the Archduchess Maria Theresa , Since that de parture from the Salic law was continued liy the Diet of the empire and recognised as valid sooner or later' by the leading powers it would hardly be strange in times a century and a half latcr'lf another pragmatic sanc tion were attempted. This possibility does not depend merely upon the presumed prefer- nco of the monarqh that his own granuchild should succeed him. but on political consider ations as to the wisdom of introducing upon the throne the children of the present heir presumptive , the emperor's brother , Arch duke Charles Louis , if is sons , who would be next in line of succession , are children of ( his second wife , the daughter of King Ferdi nand II. Yet it may bo suggested that there is also not overmuch to bo expected from a child of Prince Rudolph. * * * Alexander of Battenberg has suffered a new affront at the hands of Emperor William of Germany , in baing notiiied that his pres ence is not desired in Berlin pending the set tlement of his deceased father's estate. It has been Alexander's misfortune to stand in the line of collision between the pro-Uussian and anti-Kussian forces of Europe. Hussia never forgave the prince for his rejection of Russian authority and his ambitious attempt , while occupying the throne of Bulgaria , to annex to his dominions the Turkish depend ency of Eastern UoumoUa. Uismarck never forgave him for the approval with which Emperor Frederick , against the chancellor's wishes , met the proposition for Alexander's marriage with Frederick's daughter ; and William , true to his policy of insulting the friends of his father who antagonized Bis marck , has merely shown a fresh instance of his subserviency to his minister. But what Alexander of Battcnborg loses in pro-Uus sian courts ho is gaining among the czar's enemies. His appointment to a loading post among the Austiinn army generals was very likely a main reason for the insult inflicted upon him at Berlin. His position is not an enviable ono , however. One 'man thus singled out for the hostility of great states runs the risk of being ( ground to powder when the huge armed masses collide , f- * # Advices from Uruguay report a financial crisis in progress. Though spoken of ns transitory , there is reason to bohovo that financial and trade alT.iirs in Uruguay and the neigh touring Argentine Republic are in an extremely inflated condition. The Argentine - tine Republic especially has boon borrowing immense sums in Great Britain for the con- struciionof public improvements of all kinds , the organisation of land and other banks , the establishment of cattle ranches and slaughtering establishments , and , generally , for the purpose of exploiting the enormous agricultural resources of the country. One of the olTcflts ot these largo outlays of capi tal has been the encouragement of emigra tion from Europe , chlolly Ireland. A few weeks slnco a colony of Irish artisans from Llmcrjck sailed from Qucenstown , notwith standing the protostSj of tlio local Catholic clergy , to u country in which ono Irish jour nal declares "poverty is unknown and where families will find themsolvod well on the road to earning thole 150 to $ JOO .yearly. " It is evident Buch statements as these are hav ing their effect , tot on the T > th of lust month a German steamer'stilled from Quconstowu with over fifteen hundred emigrants , whoso pabsago monoy. amounting to $12.OIK , ) , was paid by the ArgonJ.inp govornmunt. In two or three weeks another steamer was ex pected to sail with-ftbout the sumo numhercif emigrants , whoso { paWiro will also bo paid by the govornnioiiii" tMjo limta. In order that fprf ignors may understand the significance of the names of the states of this country the following list Is given , which may be added to by anyonewho has the necessary information : Arkansas Laud of political ussassluatlon , Iowa Land of the grave robbor.

"This bo made Omaha's cnu gryatcsl year,1 said Mr. Hoggs , of Hoggs & Hill. "People wUoly awaited the result of the boom , be lieving n crash might follow. All that dan ger has now passed. Few , If any , fore closures have resulted , Collections wore never better. Confidence hns boon fully to stored. Real estate debts have been sc nearly paid up that safety Is assured or both sides , and it only remains for us to pc ahead nnd secure for Omaha such inanufnc lories nud .other Institutions as can bo oper ated profitably for owners as well ns our selves. "If any terms can bn made for raising the blockade and inducing the Iowa roads to como over hero It should be done. Ruilroadi should bo encouraged , bought or milll to run direct to Oumha from nil parts of the state , bringing till freights , passengers , trade ot business this way , nnd connecting here in Omaha with Iowa roads for Chicago and the oast. oast.The The future ot the city depends largely upon the wisdom of our actions for the next few years. This must be made the great head-center in fact , instead of theory , for the entire country lying west , northwest nnd southwest of us. This cannot be done with out thu expenditure of monoy. Tlio time has come for us to act. All this trade must bo saved to Omaha at all hazards , and at any cost. Congress did us nn irreparable injury In forcing the Milwaukee road nwny from Omaha to llnd a crossing for their bridge. If their bridge could have been built here , it would have brought every Iowa road to this side of the river instunter. This notion of spacing off distances for bridges is all nonsense. The Missouri river has seen. Its ilays of navigation , nnd will hereafter servo for water , ice and sewerage purposes , and it is time congress should begin to see this and consider the interests of the pcoplo af fected by this kind of erroneous legislation. We want bridges wherever and whenever people are willing to build them. There is no danger of any depreciation in present values of real estate , but a lair chance for a largo increase , if our interests are properly looked after. Imlh'atious are favorable for n boom in farm land , ns well as great activity in city realty , during tlio coming season. Fortunes can bo made now , just as well as in the past. Money can bo poured Into Omaha by the million if people want it. Wo have the ho- curitics , the credit , the resources , the soil , climate , location and backing for a city throe times the size of Omuha. Let us go ahead and build it. _ Croat on Natural Hi-sources Alone. "I think Omnha is on the eve of n time ot great prosperity , " said C. F. Harrison. "For a year now wo have had a reckoning-lip time , which is a good thing for the city. We nro now ready to push out in now lines , and the indications are that there is a general feeling of this kind ? You must remember that so far , Omaha has grown up of itself because of its location and natural icsourccs. There has never been an attempt to boom Omaha in the sense that Minneapolis , Kansas City. Denver and Wichita have been boomed. Omaha is less talked of and less known than any city of the size and natural advantages in the whole country. Omaha has grown to be a great metropolis of 125,000 population bceauso of its location , nt the very gateway of a great nnd rapidly growing agricultural district. The country immediately west , southwest and northwest of Omaha , is the most productive furmiinr country iti th world. Ono has only to ride over the prairie of Neoraska and see the Hocks nnd herds , happy homes nnd prosperous towns , to un dcrstand what makes Omnha great. Kvorj foot of this great conntr.v should be , ns it na turally is , tributary to Omaha. A north and south road should bo built tapping the great nnd growing country northwest of us. "As 1 said before , when wo consider hov little Omaha has been pushed , and how larg < it has become by reason of its own natur.i resources , wo can hardly realize what can bi done if the citizens unite to push it. "Ono thing greatly to be desired is i working together of the business men of the city. The board of trade and union club should be backed by the citizens. In the coming year , when a number of public buildings are to bo commenced It would bo a good time to get foreign capitalists to take hold of other enterprises. I understand that Minneapolis , which has nothing like the natural commercial advantages of Omaha , has become what it now is by the push ot a half dozen or a dozen wealthy uion. Meu of the Pillsbur.y and Washburn stamp have built Minneapolis acrainst odds. "There are several things which wo do no now have which can bo secured in the nex two years , if the wealthy men of our city take Hold of them. A north and south road , n frco railroad bridge across the river land ing all Iowa roads at Omaha , the construc tion of n union depot , building of u million- dollar hotel , getting a number of factories located here , such as will thrive. It seems to mo that wo are now in a better position than over before to push all these enter prises. The outlook for real estate for this com ing year is good , never better. The consolidation of the street railways , if the rights of the people are properly pro tected , is , I think , a good thing. Omaha and South Omaha ought to bo connected by a motor line. I believe such a line would pay from the start. Altogether I look for n most prosperous year in all departments of busi ness. "Another thing Omaha business men should patrontzo and stand by Omaha mer chants and manufacturers ; everything we eat , wear , or use In any way. should , if pos sible , have an Omaha brand on it. There should bo loyalty to our city. This is the way other cities have boon built up and it behooves us to do the snmo. " A Muiitnl Failure. Charles Schnoekcnbergcr , 1303 south Thir teenth street , was arraigned on the charge of coming homo drunk , boating his wife and nineteen-year old son without cause and brandishing n knlfo with which he threat ened to cut their throats. The trial devel oped the fact that the defendant Is well-to- do , having n number of houses from the rent of which ho draws n comfortable income Instead of giving part of this money to his family ho spends it nil for drink and his wifa has to support the family hornulr. In addi tion lo his continual drunkenness ho also keeps up n constant racket while at homo , Ho calls his wife and children the vilest mimes and abuses them In other ways. Schockonborgor listened to the testimony of his wife and tauitly usrood with her declin ing to testify. His honor llnud him Jl'J.fiO : uia sentenced him to ten days lu the county lull. Julius Wagner , a slxtecu-ycar-old boy , was irrosted on complaint of bin father for In- 2orri'ibillty.
