Tun observance of the Washington
inaugural centennial cut a wide swathe
in the bunk clearings of the mercantile
cities of the country last week. Omaha ,
despite the holiday , shows up an in
crease as compared with last year.
! o\\'A is ambitious to become a great
sugar state and wants government aid
to develop the sorghum sugar industry ,
jit may bo questioned , however , whether
the business can bo made profitable , in
comparison with corn growing and
cattle raising , for which Iowa is pre
eminently adapted.
CONQUKSHMAX DOKSICY proposes to
entertain a number of his brother con
gressmen this summer with a trip
through the west. Tt is timely that men
who represent the country in congress
should acquaint themselves by a per
sonal visit with the progress of this
section of the country.
MANAOEIIS of western railroads have
been summoned before the inter-state
commerce commission , at Washington ,
to answer certain questions as to the
methods of paying commissions on the
sale of tickets. Interesting revelations
may bo expected when the commission
applies the thumbscrews to these
ofllcials.
MH. ANDKKW CAKXKOIU is said to
liavo contributed fifteen hundred dollars
lars to help along some striking work
men. This would ordinarily bo looked
upon as a highly meritorious act. The
fact , however , that these workmen
wore the employes of an iron mill in
competition with his own puts a novel
aspect upon Mr. Carnegie's practical
sympathy with workinjjmon.
PiHAUKi/rniA is seriously consider
ing the plan of building underground
conduits and compelling the various
telegraph and tclepho.no companies to
string their wires through them at an
annual rental to the city. With New
York , Chicago , Philadelphia and other
loading cities of the country insisting
on underground wires , the time is not
far distant when Omaha will follow
their example.
IT is constantly reiterated that the
building of lines west of the one hun
dredth meridian is for the present at
least to bo abandoned. Dispatches from
Wyomincr , nevertheless , bring the in-
foriuiition that rival railroads are dis
puting every foot of the territory in the
heart of the Roulcios. The truth is ,
the rends already in Wyoming dare not
for a moment relax their vigilance for
fear that a competitor will cut into
their territory.
Till ! farmers and taxpayers of Platte
county are to be congratulated upon
having a phenomenal county treasurer.
Ho has voluntarily paid into the treas
ury a surplus of fees collected. The
good example of Platte county's treas
urer should bo followed without delay
by the treasurers of every county in Ne
braska. For it follows as an axiom that
what is true of Platte county is likely
to be true of other counties , and tlio
people may wake up all along the line
to demand an investigation of the rec
ords.
The incorporation of an English com
pany with a capital of a million for the
purpoTO of developing tlio boot sugar
industry at Wolllloot , Nebraska , will
attract universal attention. It is the
evident purpose of the company to ou-
gnge in the industry of boot growing
and sugar manufacture on a scale sulll-
clont to insure IU success. It is claimed
that the sandy soil and water power
about WollMoot are admirably adapted
to tlio business. If the prospect is as
promising as the company would have
us bollovo , Nebraska will gain a most
important industry.
DAKOTA evidently enjoys a high rat
ing In the centers of Jlnance. The ro-
cout sale of territorial bonds was with
out precedent in the history of the
l > ublio crodlt of that or any other terri
tory. University bonds drawing inter
est at four per cent ruunlny twenty
yours , but payable at the option of the
territory after ton , sold at a premium of
th'roo and ono-half per cent. Other
four pop cent bonds commanded a pre
mium of llvo ami ono-qimrtor per eont.

A NEBRASKA IDEA ELSEWHERE.
It should bo very gratifying to every
citizen of Nebraska to know that the
observance of Arbor day , in the stales
which have wisely imitated her exam
ple , has this year boon moro general
and zealous than over before. There
is evidently a growing and widening
Interest in this Nebraska idea which
gives assurance that at a not very re
mote time it will have become extended
to every state in the union , and will
command the enthusiastic inter
est not merely of scattered com
munities , but of every commun
ity where there is a prj >
ponderailco of intelligence , refinement
and the finer and gentler sentiments.
It is no longer the practical benefits to
bo derived from this annual tree-plant
ing which alone commend the observ
ance , but the beauty , the poetry , and
the refining and ennobling inllucnco of
the "idea" have impressed themselves
upon the pooplo. Arbor day has boon
found by those who have given it proper
observance , to bo an occasion on which
all can find pleasure , which mny bo
made to appeal with delightful and
improving effect to the sentiment
and the imagination of both
young and old , and the fruits of which
arc an ever-present and permanent in-
oentivo to maintain the beautiful and
interesting observance.
In Now Yoric and other states Arbor
day this year enlisted the interest of
the school children moro generally than
everbeforo. And this is growing to bo
the most delightful feature of the day
the grand army of American boys and
girls in the public schools of the nation
devoting one day in the year to setting
out trees , under whoso shade and shol-
cr they and- their successors will find
ilcasaro and protection in the years to
omo , while contributing to practical
loiiollts of immeasurable value. Arbor
lay was indeed a great conception , and
ebraskans have the right to feel proud
f having given it to the country and
eel gratified that the "idea" has taken
Inn root in many states and is annually
prcading.
VERY SMALL 1JUSINESS ,
Tlio attempt to dcrido and villify
ovornor Saundcrs because ho has scon
lit to take an active interest in post-
Illco location Is very small businiss for
; reat newspapers to engage in. Gov
ernor Saunders had as much right to go
, o Washington as Judge Crounse , John
D. Fumy , Jim Croighton and John A.
IIarbach. He had a right to go there
as n citi/en , cither in his own interest
or as a representative of other property
Dwnors who are interested with him.
To has a right to remain there as
eng as ho feels able to pay
lis hotel bills. His presence
: it Washington is not an offense
igainst public morals or a menace to
oed government.
He may even go so far as to take din
ner with the president and play peek
aboo with the president's granddaughter
ter , who happens also to be his own
rand-child. And so far as Omaha is
concerned , she ought to feel proud of
the fact that one of her honored citi
zens enjoys a relationship to the presi
dent and his family.
AVe have exhibited a great deal of
iirido because the father of one of our
itizons was at one time a partner
of the father of General Grant
n the hide and harness business ,
ai Galena. We have even thrown up
our hats when this Omaha eiti/.en was
taken into partnership by President
Grant's brother as post trader at Fort
Laramie.
Now has it como to such a pass that a
man who has been governor of Ne
braska for seven years and United
States senator for six is to be lam
pooned and blaokguarded because ho
has free cntro at the white house ? And
one of the blackguards who is con
stantly Hinging mud at Governor Saunders -
ders never refers to him excepting as
Fathor-in-law Saunders , as if it wore a
disgrace that his daughter had married
the son of Benjamin Harrison.
And this conceited and greedy booby
has the insolence to intimate corruption
and dishonesty in connection with the
senator's ' course in the postollico loca
tion. Wore ho a manly man with a
grain of common decency in his make
up , ho would realize"that ho is the last
man to talk about the greed of Fathor-
in-law Saundors.
How about Father-in-law Crouuso ?
Was ho entirely disinterested when ho
joined Son-in-law in calling that post
ollico meeting in a city in which ho
docs not reside ? Was Ho guilty of
reason when ho wont to Washingtont
o help his son-in-law sell one-fourth of
the Plantor's'houso block to Uncle Sam
for two prices , and at the same time
was trying to double the value of his
rookery across the street ? If the shoo
Ills ono father-in-law , why is it a misfit
on tlio other ? And why should a man
who helped to obstruct the erection of a
city hall for three years keep
up his howl ntrainst Senator Saunders
and others because the podtolllco has
not been located within sixty days after
Harrison had become president. Some
people never know how small they ap
pear until their measures have boon
taken in public view.
TUE OHIO MAN.
The Ohio man was once , and not very
long ago , a powerful factor in national
affairs , but ho appears to have entirely
lost his grasp. At any rate , the present
administration seems disposed to got
along without him. With the exception
of the appointment of Mr. Halstoad , no
citizen of Ohio has received preferment
for any important position from Presi
dent Iliuu'lson , unless the ofllco of second
end assistant postmaster-general bo
classed as Important. Thin is not duo
to the fact that Ohio men have
boon less modest than usual
in nrginj , ' their claims to con
sideration. They have been quite as
ardent in seeking olllco as these of
other states. The explanation lies in
the fact that the factional conflict in
Ohio has made it necessary for the ad
ministration , both for its own peace
and as a suggestion to harmony In that
state , to ignore the olulms of both fac
tions , It uppoars that the politicians
are boglnninp to worry over the situ
ation , which allows the wisdom of the
administration's oourac , for only in
thli way can they bo brought tc
make ponce with' each other. If
they can bo forced to harmon
ize there is every reason to behove the
administration will give Ohio all the
recognition she can reasonably claim ,
but harmony there must bo. It is es
sential not , only In order to prevent any
ssuo between the administration and
ny element of the party in Ohio , but it
s absolutely necessary to enable the ro-
lublicans of tliat state to win in the
lection of next fall , which will bo an
xtromcly important contest , involving
ho election of a United Stales senator
o succeed Senator Payne. The ropub-
icans of Ohio are making a very sorl-
> us mistake in quarreling among thom-
olvcs , nnd the disciplinary policy of
hj administration regarding them is
mlncntly wise.
TUB fact that Secretary Noble , at
ho banquet of the Spanish-American
ommorcial union in Now York , took
ho ground that in order to build up
rado with South America it will bo
iccossary for the government to sub-
idizo steamship lines , suggests that
his is the policy which the adminis-
ration may urge. Another speaker on
his occasion , indeed , went so far as to
ay that ho violated no confidence in
taling that the president is in favor of
granting government bounties to
itoamship lines , but no man's au-
hority should bo taken as to
ho president's views on this subject.
The obvious conclusion , however , is
hat the subsidy question is likely to
iccupy prominent attention in the next
iongross , whether by instigation of tlio
iduiinistration or not. The forces in
'avor ' of steamship bounties arc evi-
lontly mustering for the contlict , and
uch expressions as wore made at the
STow York banquet of the Spanish-
American commercial union must bo
'Cgarded ' as the notes of warning ,
t is well , therefore , that the public
nind shall begin to prepare itself for a
vigorous discussion of the subsidy
ucstion.
ADVKKTISKMKNTS in ready-made ,
land-mo-down newspapers are worth
10 moro than street dodgers and cir-
julars. Papers that are given away
tie seldom road and hardly over
ippreciated. As advertising mediums
hey are a sham and a fraud. This
s well known to export ousiness
nen who have made a study of advcr-
ising mediums and explains why some
mpers in these parts that circulate
.heir . papers by throwing them into the
rent and back yards of people who do
lot want .them cannot procure patron
age for their advertising columns at
any price. Merchants who pay money
'or printers' ink want to see results ,
ind they usually keep themselves well
nformed as to where their investments
will bring largest returns.
THEKK is probably a good deal of
truth in the report that the Sioux are
'eady ' to give up nearly eleven million
icres of their reservation lands. From
all appearances , little opposition will
lo made to the signing of the agree
ment to bo laid before the Indians by
the Sioux commission. Tlio now bill is
eminently favorable to the Indians. It
grants them even moro than what they
: iavo demanded. Barring unforseen
amorgencics , the reservation will bo
opened for settlement by tlio president
within a comparatively short time.
The lands of the Sioux are wel\ \ adapted
to the raising of corn and stock. They
iire thoroughly watered , and compare
avorably with these in the best agri
cultural counties of Dakota.

will rival the noted falls of St. An-
at Minneapolis ; nnd , moreover , the
nitialory steps have bocn taken fur Its con
struction. In conversation with Tin : HKR
oprcscutntlve tlio gentlemen stated that thu
J. & M. railroad company stood ready to aid
the enterprise , and would co-oporato with
the city as soon ns It could run engineers over
ho route to further test its practicability.
I'licru seems to bo no doubt in their minds
tut that it would prove to bo n winning
venture , and that It would realize before
cold weather. With water power they son-
slbly nruucd that there would bo opportu-
ittics for manufacturing establishments
without a rival in thu state. It is learned ,
also , that the canal can bo constructed with
very little moro expense than tlio average'
irlco per mile of railway construction. Cap-
talists stand ready to back the enterprise ,
ind it is understood that ns norm ns prelim-
narlcs can bo arranged , the permanent sur
rey will bo made and work commenced. It
s qutto probable that the metropolis of Cass
: ounty has u bright future before her. At

ENTLKMEN who arc bald will appreciate the Ivory Soap for
\J \ [ washing the head , for it quickly removes Ihc oily exudations
of the scalp and by the application of clcgr water after the head and

it does not leave a gummy substance on the scalp , or the hair
harsh and stiff with dry lather. The "Ivory" is , par excellence , the
soap for the purpose.
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps , each represented to be"usl ] as good as the 'Ivory1 i"
they ARE NOT , but like all counterfeits , lack the peculiar and remaikib'j qualities of
thu genuine , Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it
