TIIK state trcWiSry of Colorado con
tains a balance of two million dollars ,

urer is not suffering for the necessaries
oflife.
THE concert for tlio Bradshaw suffer
ers deserves a packed house. Tlio object
appeals to every generous person to help
swell the total of Omaha's contribution ,
and the further faet.that the best mus

in itself sullicient inducement to ensure
an overflowing house.
TIIK Kansas prohibitionists are again
immersed in an ocean of grief. They
cherished the delusion that a state court
would demolish the original package de
cision and restore to the constables the
fruitful work of extracting a , luxurious
living from the joints and bootleggers.
But tlio perfidious peddlers of Missouri
pain-killer appealed to the federal cir
cuit court and cruelly demolished their
hopes. _ _ _ _ _ _
THAT the Omaha guards hold
the champion belt It is only right and
proper that Omaha should build an
armory that is worthy of that name.
Very few American cities are now with
out an armory whore young men can
drill and whore military displays can bo
uindo in all seasons of the year. In Chicago
cage one of the largest armoriesls also
used for a public hall , whore fouror live
thousand people often assemble to hoar
campaign orators and witness camp-fire
gatherings of veterans.
TIIK prospective union of St. Pawl and
Minneapolis it indefinitely postponed.
The greeneyedmonster is enthroned on
the beetling bluffs , und the odor of sul
phurous exclamations envelopes both
towns. Wo record the fact with pro
found grief. Arrests and counter ar
rests of enumerators plunged the Twin
cities into u maelstrom of jealously , and
it is extremely doubtful if the lapse of
another census decade will cool the
seething wrath , or produce a nod of
recognition when the resident of St.
Paul passes by a oitixon of Minneapolis.
THIS bill pending in congress providing
for tlio protection of timber lands on the
public domuinshould bo promptly passed.
It is estimated that'thoro are fifteen
million acres of public timber mud in
the west and northwest. Of this vast
empire hundreds of acres tire ruined an
nually by Hros started by careless camp
ers , hunters mid prospectors. The evil
can only be btopped by visiting severe
penalties on all persona who start or
leave lire in the forest. A measure of
this kind , vigorously and impartially on-
orced , Is essential to the preservation of
tlio remnant of forests. Disastrous re
sults invariably follow the stripping of
mountains of timber , as is shown by the
annual'flood torrents in the Ohio valley.
In tlio mountains of the west it is partic
ularly important that every possible
menus should bo employed to protect the
timber from destruction. Tlio success of
irrigation largely depends on preserving
the tlmlwr so as to insure gradual molt
ing of snow. It is a crlmo for the gov
ernment to continue Indifferent to tlio
preservation of forests und penult its
causeless destruction by vandal * .
A's"run xKi
Tlioro is a very general interest re-
grading the position that Nebraska
should occupy in tlio Columbian Pair
which is highly commendable , and
which if kept alive and properly en
couraged will undoubtedly produce re
sults to the honor nnd advtullngo of tlio
state. It is evident thatoilr people very
fully appreciate tlio value of tlio great
opportunity that will be offered by the
world's fair to show tlio superi
ority of tlio agricultural products of
thin state , as well oa to advertise
in tlio most effective way the excellen
cies of its soil and climate , and this
being tlie case no great effort will bo
necessary to induce thorn to take a
hearty and zealous interest in whatever
practicable phi us may be suggested for
giving Nebraska resources tlio largest
possible representation In the great in
ternational event.
TIIK IJKK 1ms published a number of
ralunbto suggestions as to what is de
sirable to bu done , and elsewhere is
printed an interview with ox-Gov
ernor Furnas which has the value
and authority -of experience nnd
a most intelligent judgment
regarding matters of tills kind to com
mend it to careful attention. Mr. Fur
nas very properly says that no cheap ex
hibit will answer our purpose or put Ne
braska where it belongs , at the head of
the list of agricultural states of the
union , and ho thinks that the next leg
islature should provide at least fifty
thousand dollars In order to make a complete -
ploto and adequate exhibit. Undoubt
edly such a sum wisely and care
fully expended would allow Ne
braska to take such a position
in tlio fair as she should have
there , and when the probable benefits
to be derived from a complete and gen
erous exhibit are considered , it will not
bo doubted that such an expenditure
would bo many times repaid. Our aim
should bo to win , observes Mr. Furnas ,
or let alone. Wo should lose by an in
adequate and Illiberal display that
would' bring the state into unfavorable
contrast with other states , and wo can
not alTord to do anything that will do-
prcciato the enterprise nnd liberality
and progressive spirit of our people.
Such an opportunity will not
came to us again In another generation ,
and wo shall commit a very grave mis
take if wo do not make it as profitable as
possible. What Governor Furnas has to
say on this subject is 'worthy of tlio at
tentive consideration of ovliry citizen of
Nebraska.
OMAHA'S SCHOOL KXHIB1T ,
Every citizen of Oiniha interested in
its public schools , and particularly par
ents whoso children attend these schools ,
will find in the art and mechanical
work of the pupils now on exhibition in
TIIK BKE building much that is worthy
of their attention , and which as a whole
cannot fall to command their admira
tion. Four rooms are occupied with
drawings , designs and handiwork which
show a versatility and excellence of
artistic nnd mechanical talent among
the public school children of Omaha
from the development of which great re
sults arc most reasonably to bo hoped
for. It is at once surprising and grati
fying to find that there are hundreds of
eliildren hero in their early teens who
disclose a remarkable aptitude with the
pencil , giving promise that if the oppor
tunity is olTored thorn they may one day
greatly enrich American art. In tlio
matter of designing , also , there is a
great deal of most meritorious work ,
while many of the specimens of
handiwork , in the construction of
which there was required botli talent
and patience , arc admirable. Tlio high
school exhibit is especially worthy of
the heartiest commendation , and tlio
work of the manual training department
bears testimony to careful and olliciont
instruction.
It is a fact of which our citizens may
justly feel proud , that the public schools
of' Omaha are not excelled by
those of any other city in the
country , and they appear to bo
keeping step with the march of
progress in all respects. Those in charge
of them , generally , seam imbued witli a
proper interest and zeal in their work ,
and where this is the case satisfactory
results are certain. If Omaha has boon
at all backward in the past in encourag
ing the development of the artistic talent
of its public school children , there is as
surance that It will bo so no longer.
With such a showing as is now making
of the existence among us of this talent ,
it would bo little short of criminal not to
do all that can bo done
in connection with the public
schoolsto aid its development , and cer
tainly more who shall visit the exhibit
to which wo hero call attention will fall
to approve whatever may bo essential to
tlio promotion of this work in the
schools. Those who omit to visit this ex
hibition will .have something to regret.

The republican advocates of the un
limited coinage of silver wore enabled
on Tuesday , with the aid of the demo
crats , to pass a bill through the senate
which provides for opening the mints of
the United States to the silver of the
world , all the benefits to go to the
owners of bullion. If this measure should
become law , any one owning silver bul
lion of the value of one hundred dollars
and of tlio required fineness , could
take it to any mint of the United
States and have it coined
into standard dollars or bars "for his
benefit and without charges. " Under
existing conditions the profit from the
coinage of silver is enjoyed by the gov
ernment , and according to the last re
port of the secretary of the treasury this
amounted at the close of the fiscal year
1889 to over fifty-six million dollars not ,
an average of more than ilvo million dollars
lars a year since the present law wont
into olTeot. It is proposed by the senate
bill that the government shall not only
surrender all profit on the coinage
of silver , but. shall perform the
work without any oxxmsa to ( ho owners
of silyer bullion. Is them to bo found
anywhere in history an example of liber
ality on the part of a government to a
special class of citizens that will parallel
this proposal ?
The amendment to the house bill
which thus makes provision for placing
the government mints at the disposal of
the silver mining : interest ( or their on-
THIU OMAHA -
tire benefit , was offered -by republican
senator and received forty-three votes.
Of these twenty-seven word democrats ,
so that it hail but sixteen re
publican i supporters. The vote
against it was twenty-four ,
only three of which were , democrats.
Free coinage , therefore , with the condi
tions Imposed in this hill , is not ap
proved by a majority of republican sen
ators , nnd its passage will therefore not
bo a party measure In any sense. It is
no more to bo regarded now as the re
publican policy than before this action
was taken , and this consideration will
not fall to have Its duo weight with the
president should this measure bo carried
through tlio house with the nid of
democratic voles. It has been shown
that a majority of republicans
in both branches of congress , while
favorable to employing all the silver
product of the country in the currency ,
are opposed to free , coinage. With re
gard to the other amendments the liouso
bill which1 passed the senate by about
the Biimo relative vote as to parties
which carried through the free coinage
provision , little need bo said except that
they wore natural and perhaps necessary
parts of the plan. Without them unlim
ited coinage would ba deprived of some
of its advantages to tlio owners
of bullion. It is worth whllo
to remember that the proposal to con
fine the bullion to bo received by the
treasury to the product of this country
was promptly tabled. The free coinage
advocates did not not propose to have
any limitation placed upon their policy.
It is an open secret-that many of the
bonanza kings are interested in Mexican
silver mines. Tlio prospect now is that
the bill will pass the house. The demo
crats may conceive it to bo good politics
to unite in its support in order to make
a break in the republican ranks. It is
not doubted that the senate bill would
be vetoed by the president. Every in
timation of his views since the
stiver question has been before congress
shows that he adheres to what ho said in
his annual message rogardinur unlimited
and free coinage. There Js , therefore ,
no immediate prospect of free silver
coinage , but mil ess the supporters of this
policy are uncompromisingly obstinate
there will bo legislation for absorbing
the entire product of existing mines in
this country. This is universally ex
pected and very generally desired.
Should congress fail to provide anv now
legislation it Is highly probable that the
administration would exercise its au
thority to increase the coinage of' silver
to four millions per month , the maximum
amount authorized by existing law. And
perhaps this would bo tho. simplest and
most satisfactory way of solving the
problem.
TUB selection of Bishop Burke as suc
cessor of the Into Bishop O'Connor is an
event of unusual interest to members of
the Roman Catholic church. Ilis pro
motion is tlio result of peculiar circum
stances. Rather than olTend the bishops
of the province and priests of the diocese ,
both having recommended two promi
nent clergymen for the position , the
propaganda chose the middle course and
selected Bi&hop Burke of Wyoming.
Ilis ability , energy and conservative
zeal manifested in other fields
will bo invaluable in the wider
sphere which the See of Omaha affords.
Being familiar with western ways and
wants , there is no doubt ho will prove
an honor to the position and an impor
tant acquisition to the religious circles
of the city.
Too JIUCH indifference is exhibited by
the board of public works in the super
vision of work done by the street rail
ways , waterworks and gas companies in
re-laying pavements. The ordinances
require these companies to replace the
pavements they tear up in as good con
dition as they were before torn up. This
is seldom , if over done , and tlio natural
result is-that largo rents and gaps are
made in the streets after every .storm and
extensive damage is done , not only
to streets but to private properly. These
damages slibuld by rights in every in
stance bo paid by the 'c'ompanies that
have caused the hrcalf. , . But" even the
ussuranco that they would pay all such
damages does not justifyujo > board of
public Works in neglecting" , to rigidly
enforce the ordinances.
TIIK financial situation docs not show
much change , but money Is said by bank
ers to ba somewhat olosor and in pretty
active demand. Trade continues sur
prisingly brisk and collections are fall-
to good. Tlio produce markets are ac
tive and prices remain steady at quota *
thins. Tlioro is a good demand for choice
butter , while poor stuff is 'neglected.
Eggs are dull and if anything lower.
Cheese is perhaps a trillo firmer. In
green fruits lemons take the load just
now and tlio demand is active with pros
pects good for higher prices. Berries
nro arriving freely , and with the excep
tion of strawberries quotations nrp lowor.
There is a moderate demand for old
chickens and spring aroscarcoand high.
Crop reports are extremely favorable as
a rule and the general outlook is very
satisfactory from a business point of view.
Tin : right of the Union Pacific rail
way company to employ such men as are
doomed to bo most etllclent forlho ppor-
ntion of that railroad cannot bo called
in question. It is a privilege enjoyed
alike by corporate and individual em
ployers. But the city of Omaha has a
right by reason of its munificent contri
butions conditioned on the maintenance
of Union Pacific shops and headquarters
in Omahato protest against any changes
that would viqjato this mutual compact.
Some of the recent changes are doubt
less of that character , and it seems
to us right and proper to remonstrate on
behalf of our citizens.

wages for tbo llrst month. A meeting
of prominent citizens was held aud
resolutions passed to the effect that
tboy should not bo allowed to remain. A
party was quietly organized to escort thorn
out of town , but they not wind of it and loft
of their own accord. The man Kobbins was
not satisfied with this , und bos prevailed
upon them to try it again. They again ar
rived in town nnd nro quartered at the Cot-

tempt to open their laundry , and as the entire -
tire community is opposed to their coining a
lively time will probably occur. A secret
committee has been formed for the purpose of
driving them out , and will act as soon as they
open business. An amusing incident occurred
on their arrival. Ono of the boys was walk
ing the street carrying a rifle , nnd was met by
the Chinamen on their way to the Cottage
house. As soon as the Celestials saw the
gun they took alarm , and gathering up their
pants made lively time for Kobbins' protec
tion , novcr looking behind to see whether
they were pursued or not. The feeling against
the Chinamen is intense.

Hcrr S/.ell Tells What Ifo TlilnkH
About Augmenting Army KvpoiiHOH.
BI-DA-PISTH : , June 18. [ Special Cablegram
toTiiK Bin. : ] In the Austrian delegates Hcrr
Szoll moved that , in view of Minister of War
Bauer's statements Friday last to the budget
committee , touching the necessity of largely
increased expenditures on behalf of the army ,
the nrmy committee bo instructed to direct
its attention to the present financial situation
of the country , which is such as to forbid any
increase of appropriations for army purposes
at this time.
In proposing this motion Hcrr Szoll said
that ho bud no intention 'or desire of placing
himself in an attitude of opposition to the
government in fls military policy. As , bow-
over , no detailed scheme had been submitted
by the government , ho thought there was no
impropriety in the motion which ho hud
offered.
Before entering upon n dpflnlto plan look
ing to greatly enlarged expenditures for
military purposes , it was well , in his opinion ,
that tlio army committee should carefully
consider the present financial situation of tlio
monarchy in order- that no policy should bo
adopted without a full understanding of
everything involved.
Hcrr Szell's motion was not expscted by the
ministers und they were not prepared how
to treat. It. As soon as ho resumed his seat
the sitting was suspended in order to give the
ministers an opportunity to consider it und
decide what course to pursue.

Tlio Supply of tlio Ntono to Uo Controlled - ,
trolled by a Combination.
Nr.w YOIIK , Juno 18. [ Special Telegram
toTnr.Bci : . ] Another big trust was added
yesterday to the long list of monopolistic
combinations. Unlike tlio others , however ,
this trust is not directed against the hard-
earned money of the poor , but will reap its
harvest from the hoarded wealth of the rich.
Tlio latest trust is u carefully laid plan ,
backed up by several millions , to control the
supply of onyx , which has been u.scd so plen
tifully of late as interior decorations. It is
the intention of the trust to obtain control of
all the onyx mines in Mexico nnd to operate
them at their own pleasure. Tlio onyx mines
of Oberstein , Germany , which have rheoiiitt
supplied nil the American demand , have become -
como exhausted and the only known onyx
Holds loft nro located In the stuto of Puebla ,
between , the ( Jity of Mexico mid Vera Cruz.
There nro several of them there and
for a long time they have been worked in u
crude way by the natives. With ono or two
exceptions the trust just formed has secured
control of all the mines. These not yet In its
maw will , before long , bo forced into the
combination. Tlioro is nothing now in it-s
way for the complete control of tlio jewels nil
over the world. Tlio production can bo
regulated at will and any price can bo charged
for the stouo.

NEBRASKA AT THE COLUMBIA ,
She Must Rank first in Agricnlturo at the
World's Fair.
THE EXPERIENCE OF GOVERNOR FURNAS ,
The State Should Appropriate Fifty
TIiotiHiuid Dollars The Display
Should IJo n Fine Ono and
Work Should Begin at Onuo.
"An experience of thirty years In Nebraska
has a tendency to cause 1110 to bo cnthuslnstto
upon any subject pertaining to the welfare of
tlio state , " remarked ox-Governor Hobort W.
Furnas last nightwhen bo was asked bis opin
ion regarding the display Nebraska should
make In the coming world's fair ,
"Urleliy nnd hastily , " said ho"thcro should
bo no hesitancy whatever no to Nebraska pre
senting n full , complete nnd carefully prepared -
pared collective state oxhlblt In Chicago In
IS * ! .
"Fairs nnd expositions , correctly understood -
stood , should over bo conducted with these
grand objects In view. Presentations of pro
ducts and rc3ourccsuot merely for advertising
purposes , but as higher object-lessons , should
bo the purpose , nnd to host servo such ends ,
only possibilities should bo aimed at orshown ,
always remembering the fact that averages
may bo found upon every band and upon
every occasion. These , successfully executed ,
the- thousand nnd ono attendant bcnllts will
Inure nnd follow without any great effort.
H will talco time , patient labor and
a largo sum of money to accomplish
thosp results. No cheap nnd shoddy affair
will nnswor our purpose , or put our state
whore it belongs at tlio head of the list of
agricultural states of the union. The man
or men who have charge of Nebraska's de
partment must understand that what they
undertake will not bo for their health or
for their amusement , nor can it bo for politi
cal glory , as polities will not bo considered
ono of the factors in this undertaking.
"Tho state legislature , nt Its next session ,
must provide liberally , or not at nil. To
make a creditable display mid one that will
bo In keeping with the record wo have here
tofore established , nt least $50,000 should bo
appropriated for the gathering of the exhibit ,
Its putting in place and for its care after
being once placed before the people.
"In this matter , our aim should bo to win ,
or lot alone. Butter , by far , to let alone than
to go Into the enterprise and fail ; for , after
making the grand display that wo did ut Now
Orleans , wo cannot , us a people , afford to go
to Chicago unless wo go with the tixcd deter
mination that wo nro going to show off our
state to the best possible advantage and con
vince the people from every nation that wo
live in the garden spot of the universe.
"Work should commence nt once and con
tinue everlastingly , or until the fair closes.
Hight here , I deslro to remark that the gen
tlemen who expressed their opinions in Tin :
BKK last Monday , have the right Idea and I
believe they struck the keynote that will lead
to success , only it will reqniro work , hard
work and lots of It before any good can bo
accomplished.
"Every known resource nnd every product
within the borders of our Htato should bo
utilized and brought into requisition. Not
only this , but hundreds of now ones should
bo inaugurated. Wo must imbue the i > ooplo
of the stuto at largo , not any ono particular
locality , with 'ho Idea that this Is being donu
for Nebraska and Nebraska's benellt. Lot
us grow our best corn and our largest vege
tables. Wo have manufacturing industries
that nro second to none , and these should bo
encouraged to put their uest products on ex
hibition ;
"Tho plan of nn exhibit should bo syste
matically and scientifically mapped out now
ami added to as study , information and ex
perience may from time to time suggest.
"Wo must remember that wo cannot go
down to Chicago and , in a day , put lifteen
to twenty cars of Nebraska pro
ducts iu place and have thorn
prusent an attractive appearance. "Wliilo
1 now have in my mind some plans of my own
for an exhibit , this work must devolve upon
the manager , or nmmigors , diroot , and it must
bo understood that many of the details will
present themselves as the work of installa
tion progresses.
"At New Orleans ninny of our best designs
nnd cxumpllllcatlons were torn down nnd re
built. So it will be in all such work , in so
far , at least , as the style and form may bo
concerned. For this reason , I am of the
opinion that the question of how the exhibit
.should bo presented should bo ono of thu tlrst
tobo discussed.
"It will not do to take our display and place
cvorthing in a ptlc , for if we should flo so ,
while wo might have the finest collection in
the world , it would bo unattractive and would
fail to catch the oyo.
"Wo shall want our Nebraska days , and
upon those days we want men who can go
through our departments and explain tlio
many articles wo will have for public in
spection. Lot these men deliver lectures ,
telling whore this article was manufactured ,
and in what county this grain was
raised. All of these things will prove Inter
esting and will bo of much value in enter
taining the crowds of sightseers , as nn im
pression will thus ba made that will not easily
bo removed.
' 'Tlioro has never been , nor never will be ,
a moro propitious occasion when Nebraska
could or can como to the front moro advan
tageously than at this coming world's fair. 1
say commence the work of preparation at
once , for there is no time to wu : > to orspend in
talking. Manufactured exhibits , especially ,
should lo entered upon und put under way at
onco. Much of thu immotliato und dhvut
products of the soil may como in later. For
those oven to obtain the best specimens Uo
not delay until tlio year of the fair.
"Ono thing I want to say , Chicago must not
regard this as u gigantic advertising scheme
concocted for her own benefit. Because , if
she does , the whole fair is linblo to bo a fail
ure. Let Chicago do her part nnd Nebraska
will bo la uttundancu with a display that will
not bo excelled by auy state in the union. "
Ilnn. A. G. Scott's VIcwH.
Hon. A. G. Scott of Kearney , who , with
Mr. Euclid Martin of this city has been ap
pointed by President Harrison to represent
Nebraska's interests at the Columbian expo
sition In 1892 , arrived In Omnlmyestcrdny af
ternoon on route to Chicago to attend the
llrst mooting of the national commission hav
ing In charge tha affairs of the forthcoming
great show.
Mr. Scott is no stranger in Omaha , much
less throughout the stuto generally , for both
within and about this city ho has many old
time and wry warm friends. Ho is an cx-
member of the legislature ami is n keen ,
shrewd and far-sighted gentleman just past
the meridian of lifo.
His eyes fairly snapped with the fire of en
thusiasm last evening in conversation with a
ivprasmitntlvo of TIIK lien regarding the idea
of making Nebraska's part in the great event
ns brilliant ut Tiny of her sister states.
"It seems to mo , however , " said Mr. Scott ,
"that verv Httlo can bo accomplished at this
llrst meeting of the national commission iu
Chic'igo. The local association at Chicago ,
acting under the laws of the state of Illinois ,
huvomet with so many obstacles iu reference
to land sites that have been offered by the
park commissions and private Individuals for
the list ) of the Columbian exposition that it
would seem more than probable that the
election of oflicers atid perhaps the appoint
ment of a largo executive committee , with
power to act upon nil questions but the most
Important pertaining to thn exposition , would
bo the result of the llrst , meeting.
Should this plan bo deemed wlso , the com
mission can ho called together ut any time by
reason of the objections being removed by
the action of the Illinois legislature that Governor -
ornor Fiber has ordered convened on July 2M.
"It may not bo known by all that the city
parks In Chicago nro unuor the control of
stuto legislation , and a permit must bo ob
tained from the state through 'legislative en
actment before the parks can bo used for the
world's fair , or sceuro a location from privaio
Individuals , which I umlurstuud uro offered
by several parties.
"In ixsforuiiixj to theprompt action of the stito
to secure the host results for the oxhlblt of
the Industries of Nebraska , there can bo but
ono opinion , and that Is to make the best pos
sible oxhlbit from the largo rououreos at our
command , and ono that will not only din
longo the admiration of tlio world but will
carry off the premiums offered for the best
bjastof ubo'to--oil
cihiblU No sluto can
or lay claim to a bolter average product ol \i \
cotv.nl * , than that of Nebraska ,
"I deslro to say n few words having rofor-
euco to the support the commissioner must
receive front particularly the legislature and
the press of tuo state. In this latter respect
Mr. Martin voiced my Idea exactly In TIIH
JlKK's Interview with him Init Monday. The
press of the state mint take hold of this mnt-f
tor of working up nn Interest nnd enthusiasm
among the people. The pros * must bo de
pended upon to influence the next loglsl.tturo
to provide liberally for Nebraska's exhibit.
Wo can do nothing unless the legislature
provides ways nnd means. The loglMaturo t
should npixMiitn superintendent , wtio shallv
have charge of Nebraska's exhibit. Tl/r
man who is appointed should bo ono of u-lao
ex ) > crlenoo In matters of us nearly similar n
nature to that of thu coming exposition as
possible.
"After a lengthy t-ilk with Mr. Martin I
find that he nud 1 nro of very much the same ,
opinion on matters iwrtalnlng to the position
to which wo have Just Iwon appointed , mid I
anticipate a great deal of pleasure In being
associated with him. "
