The vote ycatorday in the house of
representatives on the selection of a
plico for holding the worlds fair that
is to comraomorato the dlscovory of
America resulted in favor of Chicago on
the eighth ballot
The whole country , and particularly
the grcnt west , is to he honrtlly con
gratulated upon this result It is a
wlso nnd moritcd recognition of
the most liberal , public-spir
ited , enterprising nnd progressive
city in the United States
It is a proper and just concession to the
superior clalma * of the section ol the na
tion which is contributing rnosHnrgoly
to the wonlth nnd prosperity ot the
country It worthily honors the oncrgy ,
generosity and uatrtotlsm which Chicago
cage has displayed In the contest for
the fair If concurred in by the senate
it assures the completion of every prep
aration for opening the exhibition at
the appointed time , nnd a dis
play , so far nt lonst as the
products nnd manufactures of this coun
try nro concerned , of unproccdontod
magnificence It will assure , also , the
flnnnclnl success ot the enterprise
Whnt nro the probable chances of
Chicago in the senate ? Forty-two votes
may bo required in that body , though
not necessarily Thirty-two may bo
regarded as certain , from the
following Btatos : Ohio , Miohl-
gnn , Illinois , Indiana , Wisconsin ,
Minnesota , North Dakota , South Da
kota , Washington , Iowa , Nobrnska ,
Kansas , Colorado , California , Nevada
and Oregon With such a support it Is
hardly posslblo that Chicago can fail in
the senate , and it would scorn ortlrely
bate to predict that the Columbus
worlds fair will bo hold in the western
molropolls
a KOTurR vTpLoyu\xia \ success
The present administration hag al
ready made a record for successful
diplomatic t.ogotiations which will give
it honorable distinction in the history
of the country The agreement entered -
torod into with'Gormany and England
rognrding Samoa is conceded by all
fair-minded men to have boon n most
creditable victory for this country , se
curing to us ovcry right in Samoa to
which wo laid claim and providing the
most ample gunranteo against any
future controversy regarding these
islands between tlio powers to
the ngrcomoiit The arrangement of
a now extradition treaty with Great
Britain , free from the objcctionablo
features which the mlnistor to England
under the previous administration said
that government would insist on as a
conditiou to entering into a new agreement
mont , was another notnblo success to
the credit of the present head of the
state department It Is now ro ' ported
that Secretary Blalno and the British
minister nt Washington have como to
an nmicablo ngrooment upon the
Bohring sea fishery controversy The
nnturo • of the ngrooment is of
course not made public , but suf
ficient is learned to warrant the state
ment thoj , our government has made no
surrender that will permit foreigners
to devastate the seal fishery portions of
Bohring sea to which this country lias
a rightful claim What was expected
to bo a prolonged and perhaps acri
monious controversy , sharpened and
iutousifiod from time to time by inci
dents of aggression on the part of dopro-
daters in the fishing waters over which
the United States claims jurisdiction ,
appears to bo in fair way of quiet
and honorable settlement The fact
that negotiations were in progress was
generally understood , but the country
has heard none of the sensational talk
about it that marked most of the ne
gotiations under Mr Blaine's prodo-
cessor
These people who professed to fear
that the policy of the present secretary
of state would bo ono tending to con
stantly irritate foreign powers and to
threaten the poncoful rotations between
the United States and other nations
can now ' sco how utterly mistaken they
were In their estijnnto of Mr
Blalno Certainly no other secretary
of state In the history of the country
showed a higher sense of the dignity
and responsibilities a of the po
sition , and there lias boon no
single instance in which Mr Blalno
has manifested the slightest spirit
of that jingoism with which his
onomics have charged him While
firmly insisting upon every reasonable
right of this country , bo has itnprossed
foreign governments with the sincerity
of his desire to effect n settlement of con
troversies fairly aud honorably , and the
wholesome inlluonco ot this impression
is shown in the results There has
been no display of diplomatic verbos
ity , no bidding for popular npplauso ,
but negotiations have gene forward
quioty and sorlously , as befits n great
government
The commonduble course of the present
ont administration with respect to in
ternational alTalrs lias won the rospoot
and confidouco ot ether nations , and
made stronger the bonds of friendship
between the United States and the
countries of the world Ii has taught
our own people , also , that while every
right of the country and its citizens
will bo carefully guarded by this ad
ministration , there is uo danger that
anything will bo dmio to disturb the
poncoful rotations with ether nations
which it is our inclination nnd interest
to maintain and cultivate ,
COh'TUOT , OF IIATUIQAPS , '
Nothing has recently emanated from
a railroad source more ititorobtiug and
suggosiivo than the annual report of
Mr Blnclistonc , president of the
Chicago fcltou rend . For the first
time in the history of American rail
roads the head of a great railway sug-
gosta that the national government
shall acquire the ownership of alt the
railroads in tlio United States by the
oxorclso of its right of eminent domain
or by purchase The general views of
Mr , BlnoUKtono regarding the out
look tor the railroads , may
appear somewhat pessimistic , and hence
the process of reasoning by which ho
roaches the conclusion that It would bo
desirable for the government to as-
sutno the ownership of the railroads is
not so complotu aud conclusive as It is
posslblo to muko an argument in be
half of this policy The president ot the
Alton would apply his remedy only in
the event ot n continuance of the course
respecting , the rnilroads which the
state hnd federal governments nro
now pursuing ; that is , regulat
ing the corporations by nntlonnl
and state laws It is to this that the
prosldont ot the Alton obviously at
tributes what ho rofrardsns the unfortunate -
nato prcsont sltuntlon nnd future out
lee lc ot the rnllronds , and ho leaves it to
bo inferred that if this course were
nbandoncd the railroads could take care
of themselves Ho would scorn , however -
over , not to bo nt nil hopeful that this
will happen
Very naturally , doubtless , President
Blnckstono reasons wholly from the rail
road point otviow Looklug nt the fig
ures which ho presents as representing
the rcducod vnluo of the rniUoad property -
orty of the country , and assuming that
the value ot this property is still declin
ing , lib is solicitous only to rescue it from
further depreciation But there is a
broader view to bo taken of thooxpoi-
ioncy of the government assuming the
ownorshlp and cpntrol ot the railroads
of the country which takes Into account
the interests nnd wolfnro of the people
as of first and highest importance The
oxporimoutot government regulation of
interstate railroads has by no moans
fnilcd , but It has boon produotlvo of
less benefit to the pooolo than was
hoped for , largely for the reason thnt
there nro railroad systems which it can
not reach , but which yet are lntlmatolv
connoctad with the gonornl systems ,
There is no rcmody for this within tlio
authority of congress , and it has not
thus far boon found practicable for the
states , legislating with regard to the
railroads ever which they have control ,
to remove the dlnicultios incident
to the oxlstouco ot two systems
under soparnto jurisdictions The
government ownership ot rail
roads would do away with this compli
cation nnd end all the troubles that
grow out of it Bates of transportation
would then bo fixed with reference to a
fair and reasonnblo return upon the
capital invested in the roads , and they
would have the important quality ot
stability
It would seem inevitable that sooner
or later this must become the policy of
the country , demanded by the general
popular sentiment as absolutely
necessary to the . security nnd
protection of the public inter
ests from tbo exactions and tyranny of
the railroads on the ono hand , and from
the unsettling effects of almost contin
ual conflicts on the ether it may take
some time to overcome the Irrational
fears of these who profess To see danger
to our institutions in thus adding to the
functions of the government , but ex
perience is rapidly educating the popu
lar sentlmont in this direction as the
only solution of a very perplexing prob
lem Either the country must ulti
mately submit to a monster railroad
trust so powerful as to control the gov
ernment , or the railroads must become
the property of the government uud be
manngod under the national authority
A HVhlATlhE SUPPLY WASTED
Ono of the now beginners in brick
making tried to take The Ukk to task
the other day at the Builders exchange
for assorting that brick is not made
hero in sufficient quantity , and that the
price is still too high There is no
doubt that men with very small means
and borrowed capital cannot manufac
ture briclt in Omaha profitably at five
dollars a thousand , but that does not
signify that men who have abundant
capital and modern machinery could
not operate in Omaha successfully with
brick at flvo dollars n thousand
The fact is that low rates moan in
creased demand Omaha has passed
the period of temporary tenements
and frame tinder boxes She ought
to build solidly in brick , stone
and iron The workingmen In Omaha
as well as the capitalists should bo
housed in brick buildings
With an abundant supply of brick at
low rates our city will soon excel
Kan ana City and St Paul in substantial
appearance Real cstato values are
always higher in a city built of brick
and stone It stands to reason that in
vestors arc inlluonccd by appearances ,
and their confidence is strengthened by
the substantiality of rosidonccs , as well
as store hoUses and public buildings
What Omaha needs now above all
things , nro oxtonslvo brick manufactur
ing establishments with capital enough
tonccumulato a largo supply of brick
and moot the heaviest demand at all
times Until such concerns are lo-
cutod here architects and contractors
will bo unnblo to muko close estimates
upon the cost of brlcit buildings
Tiiur.n is practical agreement between
twoon Bishop Nownian and Cardinal
Gibbons regarding the best method for
solving the negro problem The former
suggests that the solutiou is to bo found
in educating the negroes ; the latter
thinks it is ip christianizing them Ed
ucation nnd christlunlzntlon should go
hand-in-hnnd , so that these two distin
guished reprohontntivoE ) of the Methodist -
dist Episcopal and Catholic churches
are in accord as to the best way of deal
ing with the negro quostlon Bishop
Nowmau is right in anothur rospoot ,
nnmoly , that it is a mislako for the
negroes to organize such political asso
ciations us the Afro-American league
There should bo no preservation of race
distinctions , 6aya the bishop , and the
negroes should bo the last to utlomptto
perpetuate such a distinction As wo
have heretofore said , the remedy for
the abuses and outrages , political and
otherwise , ot which the colored citizens
complain , will not bo obtnlnod through
separate " poljtical organization The
negro must nmko hlmsolf foltnnd recog
nized us au eloraont of the two great
pnrlios , and he must establish his claim
to regard by doinon6tratlnghis capacity
for the duties and responsibilities ot
citizenship The ad vlco of such sincere
friends of the negro as Bishop Newman
and Cardinal Gibbons should not bo
lost upon him
Uxdkk thu authority of thoDocombor

will issue ever two bundrod thousand

The money dcrtVod from the sale ot the
bonds * must Jjio'dovotcd exclusively to
purposes for w 'hich it was voted Any
attempt to dtV6rl the proceeds wilt 'bo

The nttaek' tlio management of the
Armour-CudnhyIpacking house for re

idiotic While the lives of employes
were In peril , and crtos for help coming
from the ruins , it could hardly bo ex
pected that work should cease at the
command of a lordly reporter The
fact is that the manngomont afforded
every reasonable facility to gentle
manly reporters to obtain the details of
the dlsastor , but declined to permit a
cross-oxnmlmition of employes , whoso
time was taken up In the more import
ant work of searching the ruins

Colonel Clnrkson presided and called
upon Gonornl Sherman to respond to
the toast Our Country " The grim
old veteran was In excellent humorand
ho made the boys feel happy by tolling
thorn that they would undoubtedly make
as good aoldlors us their fathers had
boon Justice and mercy , " said Gen
eral Sherman , are two things which
come from henvon , but the sword is
mans symbol of authority on earth ,
which makes good mercy on the ono
hand und justlco on the ether "
General O. O. Hewnrd upoko of the
army and navy
Colonel Clnrkson then called upon the
principal speaker of the evening , Asa
W. Tonnoy , to respond to the toast
Abraham Lincoln " Mr Tonnoy was
received with great applause and 1ib !
speech waa frequently interrupted with
shouts ot approbation from his auditors
Among ether things ho said :
Mr Lincoln wns intensolv Atnorican
Ho believed in government by the people
ple and for ttio people Uo hud no
sympathy with class distinctions or with
au aristocracy that came by chance or
hud Its root in spoliation und carnngo
Uo believed not in the birthright of
kings , but in the unalienable rights of
the people Ho believed that every
man should own himself nnd enjoy the
fruits of his hands and brain Ho be
lieved that in the scales of citizenship
loyally weighed more than disloyalty
Ho believed , too , in the union
of states , in tlio sovereignty
of the people nnd in the nbsoluto power
of the nation to save itself And
acting upon this belief in the cruclul
period of the republic ho turned slaves
into men and men into soldiers nnd
declared that this nation should bo
saved inside the constitution , if pos
slblo , outside of it if necessary His
theory was to save the nation first and
taico care of parchtnonts afterward
And acting upon this theory ho saved
the nation As an orator Mr Lincoln
had few equals , no superiors And
yet ho was educated not in the schools ,
but in the cabin Ho knew nothing
of the rules of rliotorio or the
genius of . " Ho
gesture was natures
ture's orator heaven born His words ,
pure and simple , cumo from his noart
and founuVan oeho on his lips On November -
vombor 14,180S , two orators mot on the
memorable field of Gettysburg Both
were masters and matchless in their
way Ono was gifted in oratory , learned
in schools and from the books , the other
was skilled in the witchery of speech
as gathered from the river , the forest
nnd plain Both spoke The spepch of
ono lies dumb nnd meaningless , un
read and unrcmomborod , while the
speech of the other , rooted in tbo mem
ory of man , and oft repeated will live
with the litoiaturo of the race , grow
ing grander and aweotor in pathos and
in beauty as the years shall gather
around and about it Ono was a brain
olfurt , the other was a heart effort
Ono spoke words that were hoard , the
ether words that were felt Ono was
art the ether was genius Ono was
Edward Everett , the gifted scholar of
Now England , the ether was Abraham
Lincoln , the gifted railsplittor of the
west

Lincoln , Neb , Fob 24. | Spcoial to Tub
Hbb.1 The HivorMdo Coal company , the
Kansns City St Ucatrlco rnllrond company
and tlio Kansas City , Wyandotte St North
western railroad company filed n complaint
against tbo 11. M , the Chicago , Burlington
& Quincy rnllroad companyG W , Holdrogo
George 11. Crosby , John Dwyer and G. C.
Hakor before tbo state board of transporta
tion today ,
The complaint Is the outcouio of tlio war
between the Kansas City , Wyandotte , t
Northwestern nnd the Hurllngton road at
Ueatnco , full tologrnphic reports of which
were made by Tun Bee Saturday morning
The main features of the enso were correctly
reported by Tins Hci : of that dnto and need
not bo repented bore It is surtlclont to sny
that the complainants intend to test the case
thoroughly , nnd It will bo shown whether
or not the railroads nro to bo
ublo to dcprlvo the people of the
stnto of the bonoflts Intended to bo conferred
upon them by the recent action of the board
of transportation In compelling a reduction
of the distance tariff rates for the transpor-
tion of coal If ono rend is to bo permitted
to refuse oxchnngo of cars with another road
then the tariff piomulgatcd by the board Is
of no avail The state U without coal mlnos
of her own and conboquonlly the low rates
by the board , slnco tliov are necessarily con
fined within the boundaries of the state , can
In no way benefit the people except through
a compulsory tntorchango ot ono road with
another , nnd bo bring the many qualities of
coal , mined near the state , into direct and
active competition ,
l'ho Burlington road Is Interested In Iowa
mlnos The quality of the coal from these
mlnos is about tbo same as thnt mined nt
Leavenworth * The dlstanco from
the Iowa mlnos to Nebraska
consumers Is much greater than from
Leavenworth , and since the itoin of trans
portation is the principal factor In the cost
of fuel to the consumer , the Burlington
road refuses to admit the Loavonworth coal
to points of consumption on its lines on any
other terms than joint tariff rates , uo lower
than the rates prevailing from the Iowa
mines These terms nro prohibitive to the
introduction of the Leavenworth coal The
conditions of mining nro dissimilar It costs
but nbout II 1U per ton to mlno the Iowa
coal The cost to Loavonworth operators is
about $1.50. ThoHivorsldo Coal company
has control ot the output ot the Lonvon-
worth mine They have secured from the
Kansas City , Wyandotte i ; Northwestern
concessions nnd rates from Lcavonworth to
Beatrice , which enables them to allow the
Hurllngton full dlstanco tariff rates to nbout
ninety stations , and plnco their coal on the
market In competition with the coals
heretofore Introduced exclusively uy favor

This morning The Ueb representative
called the attention of Secretnry Sutton to
some lunguago quoted In the Now York Her
ald as the uttoraiico of Father Crania of
UulTulo in reference to President Fitzgerald
in bis recent appeal for aid for the cause
The secretary read the extract , which Is as
follows , and smiled :
Speak out , eloquent figurehead of the
Chicago Influence , and tell us who are these
priest revilers , In order that they do mur
dered , oven us your supposed masters had
that other alleged spy , the late Dr Cronln ,
slaughtered In the name of the priests of
this country , who from the first have la
bored bo horoicnlly to keep the league from
the harpy claws ol petty bosios , politicians ,
secret societies , thieves and thugs , we demand
mand the names of these members who are
thus sot down as Lord Salisbury's paid 10-
taiuors Mr Fitzeoralii knows well that ho
can not accept this challenge He has sim
ply permitted himself to become the mouth
ploco of that murderous and scoundrelly In
fluence that secretly conspires to destroy
those whom It can not control , Wo there
fflro stigmatize Fitzgorald's lunguago as cow
ardly , lying and libollous , "
Yes , " ho said , this Is tbo poor mnn who
failed to get up a httlo notonoty on the plea
of receiving uliegod threatening lottcrs from
some rawhead and Dloody bones member of
the Clan-nu-Gaol. My dear sir , the hacra-
dotnl robes do not Invest the wearer with
thu nngello virtues , and poor Futher ( Jromn ,
like the rest of us , lias his share of human
frailty Possibly ho is the dupe of some
lying knuvo but deceived or not , his lan
guage is as ropollnnt to ordinary decenoy as
his statements nro duvoid of truth Place
bis billingsgate obulhtion of u bilious tem
perament slno by side with any document
that over issued from the executive of the
league , and no Boverer condemnation of his
diatribes need be asked for It was Le Caroa
who swore thnt the longuo was controlled by
the Clan-nu-Uael. Father Cronln ot Buffalo
is the sauradotal endorser of Lo Caron's
statonicut Parnoll , Davitt end O'Urion
swore to tbo contrary , and they tcstlllod to
the truth , None , of the faetlonlsts who
are Btrivlng to destroy the leuguo
for their own villainous purposes
will como down from glittering gen
ornlltios to plain fact , and put their lingers
on onu single act of the administration that
has not the endorsement of the Irish lenders ,
I am sorry for Father Cronin , but his case Is
only an exemplicailon of a saying by a dis
tinguished bishop thnt wbon a priest edits a
weekly uowspapor the sacrcdolal or the
journalistic profession gets mixed to the
detriment ot both , As to the statement of
the Herald regarding myself , it is as trusbv
as tbo rest My naino is not James I wns
not Imported from Canada by Alexunuor
