KANSAS CITV is Importuning the logitilaturo ot Missouri to pass a park bill for her bonollt.

Governor Hill , of Now "S orlt , would not bo the good nnd faithful domoornl that ho U , enjoying the admiration ot r very largo element of his party , if he were anxious to promote ballot roforir in that Btnto , wharo tnoro time nny- whcro else it is needed. There is noth ing surprising , therefore , In his having vclbod the ballot reform hill which passed the legislature recently. Ho ve toed such a measure last year , winning thereby the approval and endorsement of the Now York democracy , nnd although the measure ho haa just disapproved wns framed to avoid some of the objections ho urged against the former monsuro , ho seems to have found little difllculty in conjuring Uf ) objections to the last hill sufficient to glvo him an excuse for vetoing it. No ono needs to bo told that such a task is never n very hard one. A shrewd political lawyer can al ways ilnd a plausible way to condemn what it is not convenient or desirable for htm'to approve , and no ono ie keener at tins sort of thing than Gov ernor II111. ' The Snxton ballot reform bill was doubtless not without objectionable features , but It is not questionable that it would have accomplished a great deal toward preventing fraud nnd corruption in Now York elections. Its operation in the city of Now York would un doubtedly have boon especially salu tary , and no ono will pretend that re form is not most urgently needed thoro. But this is the particular necessity that Governor Hill docs not want to provide for. There is the Gibraltar of democ racy in the state of Now Yorlc , main tained and kept impregnable largely by fraud nnd corruption. Reform that would compel Now York city to cast an honest vote would mean the loss ol thousands to the democratic strength there , thereby greatly reducing the chances of the party over carrying the stato. Such re form would destroy the trade of the democratic tricksters and cor- ruptionists , and would deprive Tam many of a largo part of its usefulness. It is upon thcso aids and supports that Governor Hill has relied for his political success in the post nnd must depend for whatever ho hopes to achieve in the future. He will be true to them as long as they are faithful to him. But Governor Hill is no worse than his party , or at least than the dominant element of it in New York. It does nol want ballot reform , and in defeating the attempts of a republican legis lature to secure it the governor has simply complied with the will of a vast majority of his party. Had he done otherwise ho mitrht have received the approval of a small aud inconsequent fraction of the party , but ho would have lost the support of nil the rest , and as an aspiring politician ho stays with the crowd. The simple conclusion is thai there will bo no ballot reform in New York while Hill remains governor , or until the republican party shall again secure the control of both the cxscutivc and legislative branchos.of the govern ment. i DEFENSELESS SAX VflANClSCO. The testimony given by General Miles before the senate committco at San Francisco regarding the Uofonso- loss condition of that city has are u sedan an extraordinary degree of interest in the subject among the press and people thoro. General Miles told the commit tee that one of the modern ships of war , armed with long-range cannon , could Ho outside the harbor altogether and drop shells right into the heart of San Francisco. This opinion has been fortilied by the published views of n number of persons who are referred to by the newspapers as having export knowledge in such matters , and the press is contributing its ehuro ol editorial opinion to the agitation iu favor of a thorough system of defenses , which , General Miles says , can bo se cured at a cost not to exceed twouty- flvo million dollars. The fact that San Francisco is at the mercy of any third- rate naval power" in the world wae pointed out , a year or more ago , by Admiral Porter , and perhaps others , and had congress made provision for defenses elsewhere , doubtless that city would have boon considered , but the matter of providing adequate coast de fenses was postponed. Meantime , noth ing has occurred to increase * the ur gency for such provisionwhile progress has boon made with inventions that are expected to render unnecessary unj such defensive works as General Mile : doubtless contemplated fwhon ho esti mated the cost of defenses for San Fran cisco at twonty-Hvo million dollars. It is admitted that the harbor there ie ono of the easiest in the world to defend - fond , and with a sufficient supply of the terribly destructive dynamite guns planted at defensive pointy , and the Inlet to the harbor well sown with dy namite torpedoes , San Francisco could bo protected against al most any naval force at a cost , per haps , not exceeding ono-llfth o : the ostimuto of General Miles. There is no immediate danger threatening that city , and if none should arise dur ing the next two or throe years , as un doubtedly there will not , the govern ment will bo in a position to provide all the dofunso ever likely to bo required at a comparatively small outlay , while it will also have an olTcotivo navy able to cope with the best on the sea. San Franciscans may , therefore , dismisi their apprehensions and reassure thorn- solves. Tholr city has not been more neglected In the matter of defense ; than other seaports which are quite ai vulnerable , but the time is not fur ofi when all will bo adequately protected CAN WE AVVOllD I'J'f Can Omaha afford to votu down nil the school bond propositions next Saturday' That question forces itself upon ovorj voter who has the welfare of this citj at heart. The most effective card Omuhn has played in attracting cultured people from the population-centres o the cast has boon the truthful boast that this city possesses commo dious public school facilities , aa well as nn unrivaled school system ? Can we alTord to advertise to the world that Qumhu Ui ou the down grade and no longer In condition to provldi school houses for her rapldly-tnoronslnj population ? What is to bo done next winter witl several thousand school children win are unprovided for ? How nn wo going to dis rlmliinto ng between ono class of citizens nnd another in ns signing their children to or excluding them from the present school houses' Wo have packed nil the school house basements and garrets to their utmost capacity. The school board has rontot n doznn tinder-boxes that are uttorl ] unfit for school purposes. Can wo nfford to hnvo it go nbroai that several thousand children of school ngo nro roaming about the citj because wo have not school houses enough to accommodate thorn ? THK BKK says , most emphatically , no The hue nnd ory about high tnxntiot which is rnised by some of our papers is not sincere. Most of the mon wlu made these appeals to vote down tin bonds l\avo never paid n dollnr of ta > nnd are never likely to pay a dollar Wo have reason to boltovo thai there Is a sinister purpose in this organized effort te slop school house building. The main spring of the onslaught is shown by r Gorman paper which nppcals to all liberal-minded and free-thinking pco plo to vote down the school bonds as r rebuke to Mayor Broatcli and the fanat ical prohibition crow. The natural inference - foronco is that in crippling our schools the Sunday observers will receive r black oyo. Now what has prohibition or the ' order todo witl mayor's Sunday-closing : providing bchool houses for Omaha ? The only rational objection to the issue of school bonds is the extravagance of the school boart and its tendency to promote jobs. That can bo readily chocked without beating the bonds. Five of the fifteen members of the board can bo retired at the June election if the people have no confi dence in thorn. This remedy can be applied without crippling our school system. Even if this remedy was out of reacl : wo could not alTord to vote down tlie school bonds. F1CH1TIKQ- TRUST. The cotton planters of the south have shown great determination in thoii fight against the jute trust , ana witl results that promise them a signal vie tory. The contest was inaugurated las year , but the planters were not thoi well organized for it , and accouiplishoi little against the combination. This year , however , warned by the threats o the trust , the alliance took time by the forelock and adopted n programme thai will cause the combination no little trouble , even if it does not drive it te the wall. The planters of Georgia , South Carolina lina and Louisiana have agreec to take six million yards of cot ton bagging , nnd while this amount is only n small part of what the planters of the south will require , even if the planters of no other cotton states were te move in the matter , the loss to the jute trust would bo so serious as to vorj badly damage it. But such Is the feel ing among the planters that it is believed - liovod they will all fall into line , in which case the days of the combination are numbered. It is stated that the members of the planters' nlliaiiceftiro pledged not to buy jute bagging on anj terms , the determination being to de stroy the trust , if possible. If this policy is adhered to. and there is every likelihood that it will bo , the country is pretty cftrtain to have an example ol what may bo accomplished by the united notion of consumers under certain cir cumstances against monopoly. The Atlanta Constitution says of this movement that it is more far-reaching than any attempt to break up the jute trust could bo. It contemplates happier results than the more breaking-up of n jute-bagging combine. It contemplates the creation of a now market for the lower grades of cotton which will be used in the manufacture of bagging , and it will in fact give to the south a new industry. Tlio spirit shown by the southern planters is worthy of emula tion in nil cases whore it is practicable to make u stand against the exactions ol a trust. trust.THE THE I'LUMJiEnS' STRIKE. The master plumbers of Omaha have precipitated a strike that is liable tc spread and affect all the other building trades. This is to bo deplored , not only because it will seriously embarrass par- tics who are engaged in building but because it is also liable to cripple the workinginon and affect the trades people ple of Omaha who are dealing with working people. The master plumbers had a right tc organize u union for mutual advantage. They have a right to agree nmonc themselves on what conditions thoj will carry on their business fix uniform rates for material and service , and devise projects thnt would prove beneficial to the associa tion nnd its members. But if it is proper Tor master plumbers to establish and maintain a union it it unreasonable to claim that the journey man plumbers have no right to unite for their common wolfaro. Mon ma } differ ns to the rights and wrongs ol trades' unionism , but trades-unions can not safely bo ignored as a factor ii : carrying on building operations. When the master plumbers is sued their manifesto eurlj thia spring , that they would not recognize the journeymen's union and served notlco upon the journeymen : plumbers which was tantamount to ar order to dissolve connection with thoii union , they deliberately provoked i feud that was sure to and in a strike When they capped"tho climax by medi tating a lock-out of nil plumbers wlu would not abandon their union , then drove their journeymen Into a.walk out. out.There There may have been unreasonable demands nrndo by the journoymor plumbers , and they may have attomptot to establish rules that would bo burden BOino to their employers , but these Qlf foroucos between employer aud om ployo could and should have boon ami cubly adjusted. The position In which the mastoi plumbers have placed thuuisel vos forcec the fight from the outset , nnel makes them wholly r/psponslblo for Its conso- .qucncos. n It ia tho'hblght of folly nnd arro gance for them' to Insist that they maj band togothdn for their own profit , nol only ngntnst their employes but ngninsl their patrons."and insist that mechanics must not orgjln'izo ' to chock the rnpncitj of capital. ' 4 ( At this daj .ft is ouU.f question for mon ongngehh in building trades tc ignore labot uhions and refuse to deal with them or'ri'rbltrnto with thorn. The master plunJiVesrs have a perfect right to hire or discharge workmen , but thoj cannot cope with organized labor sc long ns they Insist that unions must he crushed out. Unless the mastci nlumbcrs exhibit n spirit of conciliation and n disposition to ndjust their differ ences through the journeymen's union wo nro llnblo to have a general strike iu all the building trndcs.

Mr. Rico was not widely known to the people ot the coun try , nnd , outsldoot literary nnd journal istic circles , doubtless , very few had hoard of him before his appointment to the Russian mission , but to the extent that ho was known ho was respected for Ins scholarly attainments and literary ability. As editor of Uio Xorth Ameri can liericio for n numbar of years , ho maintained that magazine in the front rank of publications of its kind and gained for himself n position of prominence among mon of letters. Ho was not a politician in the practical sense , but ho took a very active interest in political alTaird anddidgooJ service for the republican party within the range of his opportunities.

The doctor , by the w. v , is ono of Uio di rectors of the Wellflcst Heal Estate nnd Im provement company , and will locate in Well- licet permanently. Ho says ho expects to cngngo in the practice of his profession. It will bo remembered that the improve ment company cited has for its chief purpose the erection nnd equipment ot a sugar ro- iiner.v. The practical tests are to bo made during the present season , nnd , 1C satisfac tory , the erection of the rcllnor.y will bo com menced nt Uio earliest possible moment next spring. The quality of the angar-bcot has nlrcMdj been tested , and the only question to bo determined is , c.ui the beet bo raised in sufficient quantity on Nebraska soil * In answer to the question , "If you have tested the quality of the Nebraska-raised beet , how docs it compare with the beet of Germany or France , with which 1 suppose you are fa miliar ! " "I can say that the Nebraska beet Is vastly superior. The beet raised hero yields 10.73 and 18.10 per cent sugar , while the beet raised Ifl the old countries only yields S and 12 per cent. These per cents arc both inaximums. "Doyou think the sugar Industry will pay In this statci" "Yos , 1 think so. The only question is , will the soil grow them here in suOlciont ipiantity. Wo will bo able to fully test the matter tills summer. If the quantity proves Lo be sufficient , the Industry will pay better than raising hogs or rattle.
