" TilK discriminating opinions relative to the colored race debited to the presi dent are creations only of the imagi native democratic minds. THK secret of Kansas City's success Is that Kansas City stands up for these railroads which help her. This is a rule which it would bo well ( or Omaha to adopt immediately. Tnu success of Omaha depends upon the growth and prosperity of Nebraska , and on the other hand Omaha is n reflex - flex of the development of. the stato. In other words Omaha is to Nebraska what the head is to the body. "LINCOLN may huvc celebrated the advent of King Tartarrax , Council Bluffs may Imvo enjoyed her Chnutau- qutf , but Omaha carried off the glory of 1 the fourth of July by pounding Sioux City all over the field. M . VANDKIUIUM was there. Ho al ways soars aloft when the eagle screams amid the flz-bing-bnng-buni of fire crackers and sky-rockets. It reminda him of the din of bloody battles which he never saw , and the Hare , blare and K glare of camp-fires at which lie loves to parade himself as the great veteran hero. LAST year tlio value of the corn , oat and wheat crop of Nebraska was' esti mated by the agricultural bureau at about fifty million dollars. The pros pects are that this year the crop will oven bo greater. It would be interest ing" to learn what proportion of this wealth will he drawn toward Omaha , and what efforts are being made by our morcliants to got their duo ratio of it. TIIK sugar trust is kind enough to explain - plain to the consumers of that commod i ity that the. increased price of sugar is due to an advancp in tlio cost of raw sugars owing to a failure of the crops in the West Indian. This may bo half the truth. But to believe that tlio trust did not take full advantage of the con i dition of Mio nugar marlcot , but Kept the prices down as much as possible , nnd thus divided the proiils with the I * * public , is moro than the average man can swallow. The Siigar trust has not ( . the reputation of being built that way. PJIOSKLYTIBM t,0 Mot-monism in thti country rturinp the , last twenty yours has not mot with general success except - copt in certain portions of the south. I ' There are regions in 'Tennessee , West Virginia and North Carolina where thn If eoot lias grown to considerable Im portance. The authorities of West Virginia r.ro becoming alarmed at the persistency and favor with which Mor In mon missionaries nro carrying on thojr \ " work among the mountaineer * . Polyg amy is not alone preached but is secretly practiced , and it looks vary much as U the strong arm of the law will bo Invoiced to drive those pcoplo out of the state , or at least compel them to give up their polygamous customs. IT IS rumored that the city hall plans , now being prepared in detail , contem plate lUo tearing out of the entire foun dation. This would uo n piece of reek- loss vandalism. Some of the very best architects , and builders have pro' nonncod tVo greater part o the cltj hall foundation as safe and ample for any five or six-story structure. To teat thorn out would bo u waste of fully twenty thousand dollars. Ono of the most potential arguments In favor ol retaining thu city hall whore itvas originally located was the fact thai the city had already expanded over thirty thousand dollars on the basomont. All architects who entered competition for the city hall plans won given to understand tlmt those base < raont wall wpro to be utilized as far iif possible. If the successful architects are now leaving out of consideration the adaptation of tholr plans to the ex isting state of facts they should bo noli 11 oil by the proper authorities that sue ) plan * will not bo satisfactory ! POSTAL SEUVICE ItEVOtlMS. The reforms in the postal service ox- pcclcd under the present Administra tion could not bo accomplished In a day. The service hatt become very greatly demoralized under the previous admin istration. During the nearly three yean that Mr. Vilas was at the head of the postofllco department the postal business of the government wont steadily from bad to worse. It was the first am bition of that ofllolnl to obtain national notoriety ns n faithful nnd active partisan. Advanced to prominence from comparative privacy , nnd having hail but n narrow political experience , ho fancied that ho saw the way to national fame nnd n higher honor in turning the postal service into a refuge for the reward of democratic politicians. Ho had very good success in doing this , but with consequencesoxtremoly detrimental to the service. Incapable and inolllclont men by the thousands found their way into it until everywhere the norvlco suffered demoralization to the great injury of the public. Another ambi tion of Mr. Vilas was to make n reputation for economy in his department , nnd this ho sought to effect by reducing mall facilities in portions of the country , the west Buffer ing most severely from this policy. All this was .made apparent to the succeed ing postmaster gonocal , Mr. Don Dick inson , but ho was so handicapped that ho could do little to improve mutters , however much ho might hnvo desired to do so. The incoinrjotonts that had giiined admission into the service be cause they were useful partisans had to bo kept thero. and , while 'in some cases the facilities that had boon cut off in order to make a show of economy were restored , every in&lanco of which was a rebuke to Vilas , care had to bo taken not to proceed too far In thus condemning the administrative con duct , of a member of the cabinet. Thus it was that for four years the postal service , which had boon raised tea a high state of clliclcnoy under republi can administrations , was allowed to run down because of Incapacity and a nar row economy thai took no account of the progress.of the country. Men who had given almost a lifo time to this service and knew its requirements thoroughly were displaced and the" positions filled by others who had little or no knowl edge of the service. The task presented to the new administration wad that of almost completely reorganising the service. Experienced men wore to bo restored , facilities increased , practices prejudicial to the service eliminated , and a very general reformation offcctod. This was no easy task and required time for its accomplishment. A year would not have boon an unreasonable time to allow the now administration for com pleting this work , yet in the four months it has been in power there has been a very marked improvement i'n the postal service , and especially so in the west , where improvement was most needed. The reforms in stituted and the greater efficiency at tained nro apparent to all business men , 'and they are au assurance of still fur ther progress. The revenues of the de partment for the last fiscal year were largely increased over those of the preceding - ceding your , and as it is the sole ambi tion of the present head of the depart ment to place it on a thorough business basis , keeping pace in ita fnuilidos with tnc growth of the-population and busi ness interests of the country , he will bo prepared to recommend to congress a move liberal policy for the postal ser vice , with every probability of having his recommendations acceded to. PJIOULEMS. The semite sub-committee investigat ing the relations of Canadian railroads to A-morican lines , as affected by the intw-stato commerce law , has resumed its inquiries. When the committee adjourned the investigation , some two weeks ago , the weight of opinion it had heard was unfavorable to any legisla tion which would discriminate against Canadian railroads to the extent of cut ting off their competition. The views of a few AtneriCfVi railroad managers were strongly in favor of such legis lation , but a largo nutnbin- otliors wore not , while the sontinont : of shippers was uniformly opposed to restricting competition , ex cept so far as this might necessarily re sult from requiring Canadian roads doing business in the United States to comply equally with American roads with the regulations of the intor-stato commerce law. The information ob tained by another senate sub-committee , investigating our commercial relations with Canada , wn.i to a like effect. The question now being investigated is whether the transcontinental lines arc suffering a loss ol business , through the operation of the Intor-stato co m- moree law , which is being di verted to Canadian railroads , and if BO , whether nny log ; Islation can be enacted to prevent It. The committee' has received communl- ctitionn from one or moro of the olllcials of the transcontinental lines urging Unit the remedy Is to bo found in tlio repeal of the long and nhorl haul clause of the intei'-stato act , but there must bo stronger reasons than have yet boon presented to bring publlo sentiment to accede to thin view. This clause is tno very backbone of the law , without which It would amount to very little as a protection to the people against un fair discrimination In rates. Sdnator Cullom la quoted as saying tlmt the cvidonco presented thus far has not indicated that wo have suffered much from Canadian 1'aciflo competi tion , yet it is unquestionably true that a great deal of trallle which naturally belonged to the American roads haa boon diverted to the alien corporation. The statistics of the bublnoss of the roads , if correotly reported , clearly show this. It is very questionable , however , whether the remedy proposed by the transcontinental managers would bo effective , nnd it certainly could not bo without a loss to the people. There nro other features of the prob lem ol our commercial and railway relations with Canada which are importan t. Both the question of allow ing bonding privileges to tlio Canadian Pacillo railway and of asso&slng a duty on Canadiun-bullt cars are before thosJ- Hcltor of the treasury for his opinion , nnd results of considerable consequence affecting the trade between the two countries nro dependent upon his de cision. It is believed that the tendency at the treasury department is favorable to n restrictive policy towards Cntula , but the department will ttiUo action In these matters with great doHbornltoTT , and may lonvo thorn to the determination of congress. The pressure for placing restrictions upon Canadian rntlroaus , nnd for a oolicy that would con fine American trnlllc to American lines , is unquestionably strong ; but , on the other hand , there is a very largo und vigorous sentiment in Now England nnd the northwest in opposition to such a course. Thla the depirtinont cannot wisely or safe ly Ig nore , and the treasury authorities may prudently determine to leave this knotty question , regarding which there IB such a wide nnd decided diversity of opinion among our own people , in abeyance until congress can consider nnd pass upon them In the light of the information obtained by the senate committees. COJtMISSIONKU ROOSBVKLT 1ms deemed U nocoswry to sot himself aright on the question of civil service examinations by writing n loiter to tbo Milwaukee Sentinel. To the thousands of applicants for fodor.il offices , it will bo interesting to learn that Mv. I'ooao- velt never asserted that ho could not himself pass the civil service examina tions. On the contrary , M * . lloosovoU says that people who speak about their severity and their scholastic character , either err from pure Spraoranco or else make malicious misstatemouts. The character ol the examinations , accord ing to the commissioner , is to test either the candidate's special fitness for his work or else of his general gotul sanso and intelligence. It is found that the average ngo of applicants is about thirty-one , and the oxnminatio'iH nro drawn so ns to suit the average man of full growth , and not boys just out of schools and collleges. And now the applicant who wunts , ' federal position under the control of the civil service commission should pluck up heart and stand in no fear of the civil service examinations. Tin : adverse criticisms of the Amer ican agricultural display at the Paris exposition has been a source of annoy ance to the pcoplo of this country ns well us to the agricultural department. Secretary Ktiak especially has been nettled at the reports , and has cabled to the commissioner general of the United States as to the truth ot the criticisms. The reply received was that all juries who have examined the agricultural exhibit pronounce it excellent , in which the commissioner general agrees. This ought to bo satisfactory to most people , and will probably mol lify Secretary Rusk. For all that , the critics will find fault with the exhibit , and apparently they have considerable cause for it. Tin : old cratot-s in the S'urra Nevada mountains have not ina'do muu5i of a stir for homo timo.Itis highly proba ble , however , that they will bo hoard from nt no distant day , as an almost ceaseless trembling of the earth has been felt and internal rum blings have boon hoard by the people living in Lo.'sou county , Cal ifornia. A smoking volcano tun thous and , live hundred foot high would bo a drawing card for California to tuld to horYosomite valley , her red wood trees and other attractions for the benefit of tourists. i NKW YORK CITY is about to spend five million dollars on street pavements , and Mayor Grant has insisted that all necessary excavations and underground work shall bo completed previously. Many cities might profit by the mayor's foresight , and thus , by u little attc-u- 'tiou , avoid the absurdity of breaking up streets immediately after being paved. The Omaha streets uro paved with In-attontions. LAXDS THAN' OUIiS. Notwlthstandlnc the expressed belief ot Count Knlnoky , that the peace ot Europe is not nt nrcieni endangered , there can bo no question that the country south of the IJ.in- ube is Just now in an unusually InlHmmablo condition , nnd that the czar is not unlikely to apply the torch ns soon nt he can do it with a reasonable ctmnco of safety. That chance will Imvo arrived when Franco is willing to attack Gonnuny mong the Hhlno. Then the altormittvo to war would bo that partition of the JJalkun region bouvcou Russia and Austria to which the Magyars have thus fur shown themselves opposed , and against which Montenegro would cer tainly protest. The droaui in which the prince of Montenegro U at present encour aged by his Kussian natron Is the revival of the old Servian empire , ( unbracing not only the present kingdom and Bosnia nnd Herzo- goviiux , but also the Sorb-spoalclng provinces of Austria. Such hopes would doubtless bo rudely expelled if Austria would accept Surviu nnd a section of Macedonia , iiicludinpr Salonlca , and pormlt the c/.ar in turn to oc cupy Bulgaria , the district or Adrlanoplo and Constantinople. Most of the London newspapers , in their rccout discussion of this umttor , oplnu that the Vicmnu uovormnont will in the end agree to a partition of the kind. There is no sign , however , of any change of fooling on the part of tlio Hun- parlans. On the contrary , during the recent session of their diet at Huila-l'esth their objections to any further absorption of Slav elements wcro repeatedly dcolared. Tlio Magyars find it difllcult enough , as It is. to control the Sorbi comprised within the Trnnsloithan kingdom , nnd they would never make such concessions to thorn in Count von Taafo has made to the Czechs in the Clsloltlmn moloty of the empire. Their opposition to the occupation of Bosnia and Hcr/egoviua was only allayed oy placing these provinces under an independent ad ministration , That expedient could not bo applied , should Austria acquire n largo section of the Balkan punlnaula , stretching from the Dauubu to the ; K0roan. Then the Tranaloithan kingdom would have to under take Its share of the worlc of assimilation , but the task would bo Impracticable for the Magyars , who are already lu a majority. Instead of maintaining n preponderance over their Slavic fellow subJocU , they would sco tholr nationality subordinated und effaced. * The present disturbed condition of Belgium Is rluo to tbo opposition by the ministry to the popular demands for a revision of the constitution. Ai all thu surrounding na tionalities enjoy universal suffrage , or some thing very nearly approaching thereto , the masses In Belgium hnvo become exasperated by tholr Inability to take any part in the Government of thqlr. ountry , mid Imvo for some yonra boon clnraorlng for n largo ex tension of the frnnahlso. This the con servative cabinet hbsolutcly refuses to take into consideration , ) anil , strong In Its largo parliamentary mnjottty , obtained under the prosnnt antiquated 'electoral legislation , ro- fiUts. nil attempts td render the government n truly popular one. The great nnnrchlst trial ' Avhlcli has Just been concluded nt Mons.brought to light the fact that the fnstprrcctlonary outbreaks nnd socialistic risings jwlilch have done so much to disturb Bbl Ium during the bait two years were not only connived nt but even originated with nmf wore fermented by the premier nnd the mfjitster of the Interiorwith the object of frightening all the well-to-do people from any Inclination to support the popular demands for un extension of fran chise. The premier Ir.ul even gone so far as to correct In his own handwriting the draft of the revolutionary manifesto calling upon the socialists to rise and march upon Brus sels , nnd the document In question was actu ally produced during the trial nt Mona. i seems to have accomplished at last her long-chorlshod purpose of securing nn exclusive port for hcrsolf on the coast of Cor on. Door Islund is the paint she Is said to have acquired as a coallit ? nnd naval station , nnd n Russian man-of-war now con trols all landings mid departures thero. For several ycara this project of Russia haa been spoken of. At ono time she was said to have seized Quclport , n large island exceedingly uoil situated for approach to China , Japan , and Corea ; but Its lack of n good anchorage In n sea sweptod by fierce storms during a part of the year \vas an impediment to carryIng - Ing out that plan. Then it was alleged that she had her eyes on Port LazoroiT , In Bough- ton Bay , n good harbor on the eastern coast ot Corca , and well sheltered by the Nukhlm- ofi Peninsula. It was even reported that China made up her mind to anticipate tlio seizure of this place by sending troops thoro. Finally , last October , Grand Uuko Alexan der wont to Corai , had nn Interview with the king , nnd , It is said , nrrangod for the requisition of u pore at Fund. Judge Owen , the king's foreign ndvisor , was thought to bo concerned In this. What ever the ( lot-alls , Uussla appears nt last to have secured a port douth of Vladlvustook. * Peru appears to bo about to fall Into new troubles. The prolonged hitch over the rail- licution of thn compact with the holders of Peruvian bonds has now given way to a political crisis of tlio sharpest kind. The Ujughnomore contract failed of legal ratifi cation through the pjrsistant absence from their seats of a number of members of the house of deputies , who too'.t that , way of de feating a measure extremely obnoxious to them. President Caocres has responded by a dccreo declaring thu scats of thosa obstruc tionist deputies vacant. A cry of protest at once came up from tbo departments thus summarily doyrlvo.1 of representa tion. The reply of the president ( was the dlsp.Ucjimg of a body of troops to quell the- rising discontent , nnd to urrost qll thosa who hud the temerity to sign memorials protesting against the action of the executive. When congress mot recently government patrols were at the plneo of assemblage to keep out the oflcndlng mambor.s.l More than this , they wont so far as o rexcludo the president of eotifrros ? InnHUlf , % tjenpr Arenas , who had not boon mentioned1 in tlio decree of expul sion. Ho endeavored to assort his rights un der the constitution and the laws , but with out avail. President C.iccrea seems deter mined to carry h is c measures through with a high hand , and wifl huve a submissive con gress or none nt-nIlEUs excuse is , of coiir.se , tint thu urosperit.v.of the country demands the speedy saltlemunt of the long-standing dispute. This may bo true ; yet his method. ! are of a kind to proAuco worse evils than he aims to euro. The coming marriage of a daughter of the Prlnoj of Wales will bo the second re cant bi-ca'c upin u rule that royal blood should not boblcnuod with that merely noble. Thi * nobles have bivn marrying for money so long that no 0110 now regards the marriage of u ilnko with : i rioli commoner : is n mutter for special c lmont. It is only recently , however , that the royal family has consid ered nobles as eligible mates cither as hus bands or wlvos. When these marriages ba- como a little more common It may bu found nivessary to relax the rule which excludes nobles from the Inner court circle. It Is not every husband who. would relish handing his wife into n room-llllod with her relatives and retiring himself to take a quiet dinner In an ante-room. Thu Prince ofVnlo3 and the Karl of Fife have had many pleasant suppers together , and It will como n little hard on the earl to bo banlshod from the table of the prinoo oa stuto occasions. The royal people will discover in tituu ho.v aupromoly silly their little tricks to kcop themselves select seem to the mass of mankind. * * The IJolajcoa Bay railroad , over which has arisen the uending dispute between England and Portugal , would , if completed , open the region wntnrod by the Xambesl rlvor to com merce nnd establish direct connection be tween Dolagoa Bay and Pretoria , the most considerable settlement in the Transvaal. Nearly eighteen months ago fifty-four milea of the road were formally opened to trafilo by the Portugese governor of Mozambique In the prcsunco of rcDroscntatlvos of Capo Colony , Transvaal and Natal. Taking advantage - vantage of the alleged violations of contract , the Portugese In Mozambique concluded to wlpo out the rights of the English owners of the road. Hut the homo government in Lis bon has prudently ii-jreed to submit the whole Question to arbitration. There is ac cordingly no probability of a serious conflict between the governments of England and Portugal over this railroad and the region it traverses. There is certainly not the slight est occasion Tor this government to mlnglo in the fray. The longest rouie-tfc Pokln will bo the shortest way thora1 if j General AnnonkofT , the builder of Trims-Caspian railroad , carries out the ndv ? project of a railroad across Siberia.

It is highly probable thaf the railroad across Siberia will bo ono of thu coming wonders. The arrival of the shah In London calls to mind the fact that there was a mighty .and characteristic British kick over the visit of the Persian monarch.to England in 1673 , and the rate-paying Britons arc not lllcoly to welcome - como his tilthy ami aai.il-barbirlo majesty very cprdlnlly at this tl.no.

Clinlrinnn lllclinrtlii l < * < uieo n Cnll to the Itcimbllonn Stnta Central Commit too 'Itagoncy Honors Going AHcitlnir. LINCOLN BUIIBAU orTnn Lhurtv BBS : , . 1029 P STIIKKT. LINCOLN , .July 5.1 "I see Hint THK BF.R says this morning , " flalcl Auditor Honton , " 'tlmt the utato board transportation had boon In n stow for eight dtiya ntul was still bubbling with wrath niul chagrin. ' So far us I nm concerned 1 know nothing of the umttor until I saw it In this morning's UKK. I Imvo not talked with n slnglo mruibor of the board regarding the matter. I did hnvo n talk with Secretary Onrbcr , and In n joking manner told 1 Im that hu had stolen my thunder. I suggcsliv to him that his proper course would have boon to liuvo submitted Ills findings to tlio board before making thorn publlo. I have been In favor of n rcduntlon In the coal rates since our meeting nt Tckamah , nnd so stntod to Secretary Garbor. There Is no fooling whatever between Secretary Garbor nnd myself or any member of the board. I do not think Gurbor guilty of 'nrtful posing , ' but us having done what ho considered to bo his simple duty. " "Slneo my return from the north the busl- nets of this department haa been so great that I have not had time to oven read Secre tary Garber's letter , " said Attorney General Loose , "und do not know Us contents. If , however , us stated , it lowers tlio rate on coal and lira stock , I am In favor of it , I am not only in favor of lowering the rates on these articles , but the rates in general are too high In this state. I will give the letter careful consideration before the meeting of the board of transportation , nnd will act In the matter as I believe for the best interests of the pcoplo of the statu. I Imvu had no conversation with nny member of the board regarding Mr. Garber's removal , and I will sustain him or nny other member of the board for making reductions on freight rates. I can say further that no member of the board over said anything to me about asking for his resignation. Such a suggestion even is an Injustice to him. I have watched him carefully since his appointment und llnd him to bo a closu thinker , a hard worker and u thoroughly conservative- . And I do not believe that ho will go very far astray. " "As a matter of fact , " said Secretary of State Laws , "wo have had no meeting of the board and tliero is no misunderstanding between any of its members. I can say , too , that so fur as I know ttioro is no misunder. standing between the board of secretaries. I never heard of the suggestion that Garbor might bo asked to resign until I read It in THE 13r.i : this morning. While I might critciso Mr. Garbur for hnv'ng ' published his ilndings on the Sutherland-Manning case , reducing rates on coal and live stock , in advance of having submitted them to the board of trans- portatloni J can also suv that I tlilnk all the more of him for having given his own opinion , free from bias and from his own tundspomt. " "I was surprised to sco tlio statement In Tin : BKK this morning , " said Treasurer J. 13 Hill , ' 'that tli ore was trouble between the state board of transportation and Secretary Garbor , of the board of secretaries. I think 1 hoard so mo criticism of his course in pub lishing the report before the board proper passed upon it , but I am not sure of this. Since his report the board has not oven hold a meeting. Garbor is held in high esteem , and I am satisfied there lias never been a whisper to the effect that his resignation was wanted. I must say Tins BEE bureau has done him great injustice. " "In regard to the recommendations mndo ' by Socre'tary Garbor , I have this to say , " said Secretary Giichrist , Monday , beforotho ronort was published , which was on Wednes day. "I said to Mr. Gnrbor , who was ut that time working on the report , that I was going to Grand Island tlmt night nnd might not bo back for a couple of days. Ho said , 'I liuvo got this report nearly limshed and want to submit it to the board as soon as possible. ' I said to him if I don't telegraph to you I will be back Wednesday. I returned late in the night Tuesday , and Wednesday morning saw the report In the dally papers in full for the first lime. My understanding was that the report was to bo considered by Gilkinson , Garbor and mysulf and then submitted to the board for their consideration. I signed the report in the evening of the day that it ap peared in the morning. My idea of the right thing to do is to submit any conclusions the secretaries may arrive nt to the board before they are submitted to the reporters of tlio daily press. So far us the report goes , tlmt this matter has caused unpleasant or disa greeable relations between Mr. Garber and myself , there is nothing In it. " "Yes , I have soon the report in this morn ing's line about the hair pulling supposed to bo going on in tbo board of trade transporta tion , " said Secretary Garber. "It's news to mo. I haven't scon any fur flying. Every thing is lovely and harmonious BO far as I know , and I have talked with about all the members nnd the secretaries. Some little dissatisfaction exists , I believe , owing to my recommendations being mada publiu before action was taken by the board. But on the whole I am inclined to think there is a feel ing of relief at the same time. I think I can safely say that there existed among nil mem bers of the board n strong belief in the un reasonableness of the existing local coiil rates. The extent of the unreasonableness was n matter of individual opinion , so far as conclusions hud been arrived at by any of the members. To have someone sot the ball rolling , ho that n conclusion can bo arrived at wittiouta shouldering of the responsibility by nny ono individual member is , 1 judge , gratefully received. My idea on the questions are firmly estab lished. They nro contained In the report. My part in the business is done. Whatever action the board sees lit to take cannot niter my conviction as to the justness of the pro posed rates as between the pcoplo and the railroads. If there is a loaning towards cither side it Is certainly in favor of the railroads. I nm convinced 1 could go over the same ground again and find incontro- vortablo arguments for a still grcator reduc tion than is proposed. I may yet have to dose so in justification of my position.
