IT WAS li'irilly ' necessary for the pro-

SiXTY-rm : now lioiiton.inU will bo

CHICAOO is very happy of course at
the promise of the sucuosa ot the great
world's fair. The exultation is tem
pered , however , by the announcement
made by Carter Harrison that ho will
probably bo a candidate for mayor to
miecood Ilompstoad Wnshburne. Chicago
must understand there it no rose with
out a thorn.
RNQLAND is enjoying n , brief brush of
war with Portugal In South Africa. She
lias already dofuatoil the troops of the
little kingdom twice , but Iris the good
House not to b.iast of her prowiMs. Tlio
war may lrj forced upon Grout Uriliiln

nuggosting that the British lion should
take ono of his she.
WASIIIXOTON now has two gro at uni

SOUTH DAKOTA is now sure of a proper
representation at the world's fair. The
Yankton convention for the purpose has
outlined a plan of action which will pro

next session of the logfslaturo fall to
appropriate $50,000 the world's fair commission -
mission will put Unit body as well as its
recent predecessors to shame by promptly

HAVING discovered nothing at Isa

worthy to be transferred to Chicago , It
is proposed to construct an exact repro

MBMOlllAb DAY
The recurrence of Memorial d v
b. Mgs to all H-J usual Invocation to pi
triotlo reflection nnd to a renewal <
loyal devotion to the union. To th
borons who braved the storm of baltl
that tlio nation might live , the occaslo
Is ono of sweet and sacred momorloi
grown moro hallowed with the passag
ol' yours ninco the conlllct ended. Whlli
th'.ty perform the olllco of affection 1
honor of the comrades who have failrji
out of the ranks they will recall th
scnnci and e.xperloncus of the camp
the march and tlio light , whoi
young manhood was strong to dare an 1
to do , when no danger app-illod at UK
call of duty , and when love of country
was stranger with thorn th'in all othm
lovns.
P.-ccious beyond all pi'ico to the old
soldier are those tn jmo.'ioi , b.it as tiny
croNVl upon him with onh : rocurrlny
Mo'iiorial day they are not unmixed
with sadness , for every year there are
moro graves of bslov'od > : omr.ido :
to be strewn with llowers am
the ranks of the living grow
smallm1. Thou-iandi hive passed
over to the silent majority who i
yuiir ago paid tlio tribute to the dam
wlilt-h surviving comrades will todaj
render to tliom. The viilornnsaro going
dropping out of the list of the living In
larger number every year , and wo know
that in fewer years th-iii have pissed
since tlu llnal muster out of the defenders -
ors of the union there will ou none loft
to perform the tender and patriotic dutj
which bnlongb to this day. But it will
not therefore fall of performance. Sc
long as the union survives Memorial daj
will have its appropriate observance.
It cannot bo necessary to suggest the
rollcctioiis which tills ncivislon invites of
every citi/.on. Its obvious lesson is both
moral and patriotic , and it addresses it
self tn all who honor heroic sacrlhYo u
the course of free institutions and whc
love their country.

In view of the fact that the mayor has
vetoed the ordinance calling for n special
bond election and the city will not ,
therefore , bo enabled to enter upon HO
oxtensivu a system of public worn as
hud been hoped for , it is highly im
portant to the welfare of Omaha that
wo make the best of the present situa
tion , livery dollar that is available
should bo expended. The working sea
son in this city is short and already two
months of it are gone.Vo < ire losinsr
valuable time. VVorkingmon who sadly
need wages are waiting.
Contracts have hitherto liaon awarded
on twonty-throo sections of public-
work and in spite of continuous prod
ding from the newspapers scarcely
anything is under way. Excuses
and delays do not circulate cash.
The council and tlio mayor ap
pear to bo anxipus for immediate ac
tion. Is the board of public works re
sponsible for delays or shall people look
olsowhcro for the blame ?
Whatever obstacle may bo in the way
of prompt action on improvement
work should bo removed. Omaha
would like to see a business
administration of its business atTairs ,
and has no patience with the shilly-shal
lying policy which stops imnortant pub
lic work to await tlio convonioneo of
some individual or delays it while a bolt
of rod tape is unwound ,
The city government will nloaso stop
talking about why it has neglected its
business and why it continues to over
look its duty anj prooood to show by
its actions that it ino.ins lo do some
thing.
o- ' run SEAL QUKS-
T1UX ,
The secretary of the treasury has or-
lorod the cruisers Rush and Bear to
sail for Bohring soi. : What Instruc
tions they have received the public is
not informed , but it is to bo prnsumed
Lhoy are practically the saino as those
jf last year. They were not olTootivo
Irhon in preventing Canadian vessels
Tom poaching in B jhringsj.i , and tharo
Is no reason to suppose they will be
low , when there is more urgency for
H'ovontivo mo.isuros than ever before.
\ccording to advices from the Do-
uinion capital , tlio Canadian soal-
ng Hoot this year consists of
it ) vessels , 20 moro than hut
, 'oar. Un addition to thcso there are
icveral Nova Sjotinn schooners on their
vay to tlio sea , and it is quite possible
.hat- the whole iiumbor of vessels that
n\\\ \ \ \ engage in this business , if an ar-
aiigemont is not m ulo for a cloio sea-
ion , will bo larger than st'ited. But if
tot the two naval cruisers will bo uiiublo
.o do much for the protection of the seal
rein the piratical operations of Hio Hoot
f poachers and an unprecedented
laughter Is to bo oxpoctod.
Lord Salisbury's delay in reaching
iorno conclusion regarding the proposal
or a close season , has ombarrasod the
ituatlon. It Is distinctly in the Interest
if the Canadian muraudors and .igaiast
hat of the United Status. In the oral
lommiinlcatlou made a fmv days ago by
ho British minister at Washington to
ho president , ho stated that Lord Sails-
> ury is not indilToront to the Importance
if the subject , but that ho has ho&ltatod
mcauso of the strong opposition which
iiul developed all ever British North
Vmorica to a close season. It is hardly
) o-alblo that ho did not foresee this
< fhaho \ \ entered upon the consideration
if the proposal for a cessation of seal
Ishlng during the season at hand. Sails *
ury must certainly appreciate the
act that the pjoplo of British
forth Amorloa are quite Imlllferoat ro-
; ardlng the preservation of the seal llsh-
rios , the bandits of which would accrue
nest largely to the Unite. ! Stales , andre
ro merely concerned to make all that
an bo made out of them while they
list , regardless of the plr.itlo.il methods
iecossiry. : If Lord Salisbury were really
s anxious as ho profe-isos to bo to reach
settlement of this matter , In the Intor-
st of international fair dealing , ho
rould not have consulted the fooling In
'anndn at all , boc'iuso he ought to have
mown that U would bo hostile to
n arrangi-mont that would bo ad-
nntnguous to the United States Of
ourao the companies that have l.ttod
ut a sealing Hoot are opposed to a close
oabon , and all .hat the Canada fooling
mounts to Is that the pjop'.o are In
ympatuy with thooo piratical compan-
js. Lord Salisbury might have saved
tltnnby simply obtaining the views t' '
the poachors.
A hill ha ? boon Introduced In th
house of comtnoin to prohibit Brltlsl
subjects from catching soul lit Behrlnj
ioa for a certain period , and this actlo
Is accepted ut Washington as indicating
a disposition on Uio part of the Brlttsl
government to comply with thoconditloi
proposed by this government as a proltml
nary to arbitration. This is by far th <
best evidence that has yet boon given n
a sincere desire to reach a settlement o
this Issue , and It only remains to be scoi
whether this moiisurc , which Is said ti
bo of the highest privilege , will rocolvi
the prompt consideration which the 1m
porlanco of the subject demands. Tin
scaling season is at hand and the tltm
for action Is short. If an agreement foi
a ohwo season Is reached , for which tin
prospect now appears very favorable , ii
will bo the duty of the United States urn
Gro.it Britain to provide an ample forci
for thoroughly policing Bohring sea si
as to keep out both American ant
Canadian sealers. If there Is no iigroo
incut our government will bo called upoi
to determine- whether it shall leave this
valuable Industry tn bo preyed upon bj
whoever will , or employ the force ncces
sary to its protection and preservation ,
at whatever risk of more serious inter
national complications.
PUN-TY : Ilousns , the Indian who shol
Lieutenant Casey , ono of the best
friends of his race and a br.ivo oHlcor ,
has boon acquitted. The judge at his
second trial instructed the jury that the
redbkltfs guilt or innocence hinged
upon the question as to whether or not
a state of war existed at the limo oi
Casoy's death. Ho hold that such a
state of war existed and therefore- the
jury should acquit tlio accused. Tills is
probably good law 'but to the unin
formed oiti/.on who assumes that com
mon sense and good law are synony
mous , the acquittal of this confessed mur
derer is a miscarriage of justice. Had ho
boon wholly an untutored savage crazed
by fanaticism or urged to his dcod by
actual necessity to preserve his own life ,
the case would have boon dilToront.
Plenty Horses has lived among white
men , attended school and speaks , roads
and writes the English language , lie
know ho was committing n felonious offense -
fonso against the law , and ho deliber
ately took his chances , hoping to win u
great name as a warrior among his pee
plo. Ho is acquitted and his brethren
will wonder how white men interpret
law. Under similar circumstances , if a
white man in a riot should shoot a police
olllcor or militiaman would ho escape
punishment ?
Tin : custom of celebrating the national
holidays in tlio public schools has
grown to bo well nigh universal. It is
commendable , instructive and moots the
approval of patriotic citizens. The idea
carried out in tno Omaha public schools
'his year of celebrating Memorial day by
, alks from members of the Grand army
is one which is worthy of repetition
year by year. The present generation
n these schools will live long
jnough to see the last veteran
of the war of the rebellion carried to his
timil resting place. The vital contact of
childhood with the man that saved the
union is an inspiration to patriotism
which will influence the entire life.
Every school in America should devote
ono day in each year at least to the
nomorics of our war for the union and
the dead heroes oi that period.
TIIKUK ought to bo authority vested
somewhere in the city government
sufficient to compel the waterworks
company to lay its pipes in any street
vhich is to bo paved. Twentieth street
ins boon graded and nearly all curbed
or months. Tlio paving contract has
icon awarded. The work has been do-
aycd to allow the waterworks company
to lay its mains. It is now stated that
the paving will proceed although the
water mains are not yet in place. This
is wi-oiig. The watorworlrs company
should bo compelled to make its connec
tions before tlio paving Is put in place.
LKT them swallow the whole cupful at
once , " said Charles Wehror of the board
of education , when uisou.ssing the now
scheme of examining applicants for po
sitions in the fachool by piecemeal.
"Most anybody can got away with a big
dose if taken by the spoonful. " There is
a great deal of hard horsa souse in what
Wehror says. Examinations are bugbears -
boars to applicants and very unsatis
factory losts of qualifications at best ,
but so long as an examination is a pre
requisite to entrance to the schools It
should bo rigid , fair and final ,
AN ACIKNT of the government is ox-
poctcid in Sioux City shortly to deter
mine the site of the new postotllco. If
ulthons of Sioux City think of holding a
jubilee ever tills event they are easily
wrought up to enthusiasm. It is now
something like throe years since Omaha
was visited by an agent but the postollice
Is apparently as far from completion as
jvor. In those matters whore govern
ment rod tape is told out by the mile it
Lakes a viib , deal of patloncoand consid
erable time to roach both the beginning

Tun same old complaint comes up
igaln from the police department that
.1 is dillicult to secure the attendance of
, ho city physician In emergency cases at
.imes. Where the fault lies this paper
vlll not undertake to say , but it goes
without saying that when men and
vomen are picked up on the streets In-
ionslblo and not drunk they need medial -
: al attendance without delay.
TIIK only way to enable the Omaha

Gladstone in n much moro inviting form. At

The political revolution In Belgium the
Introduction of manhood stiffrago may rea
sonably bo thus described may hnvo a direct
nud important bearing on the liuropean situ
ation. It Is noncrally admitted by military
anthontfes that , so improgiinbly fortlllod on
both sides Is the frontier line between Germany -
many and Franco , great aggressive opera
tions-In this iuurter nro Improbable. To get
at each other the combntnnts would have to
pass through Belgium , which , therefore. Is
fated to become ouco moro the cockpit of Ku-
pc. It follows that , on the outbreak of the
inevitable war between Franco and Germany ,
it will make n great difference on which side
the sympathies of the Belgian psoplo , and of
the government for the time being , shnll
chance to bo arrayed. If conservative ministers -
tors happen to bo In olllco , It Is probable that
they would glvo effect to the pro-German
sympathies of their sovereign , who is , it will
bo remembered , by descent a member of tlio
house of Saxo-Coburg-Gotlm. On the other
hand , it is moro than probable , It Is almost
certain , that a radical ministry in Brussels
would glvo dollnlto nnd effective , expression
to the ardent feeling of fellowship which ex
ists between the workingmen of Belgium
nnd of Franco. The Bcluinn artisans ir.ulto
no secret of their wishes and Intentions in
the matter. At a monster moating hold by
the strikers the other day n roiolutiou w.w
unanimously passed declaring that , in the
ovontof war between Franco nnd Germany ,
the French republic could count , upon the on-
thusiasticsympathiosof Belgian workmen. In
thus avowing boldly the position which they
would dcslro the government to take , the
Belgian nrtisans wore fntthtul to their trudi- .
tions. Wo need not recall how promptly the
ideas of the llrst French revolution took root
In Belgium , or how the dopoltl.m of Qnarlui
X. at Paris in IS'tO was immediately followed
by an uprising at Brussels against Uio Dutch
sovereign. Wo ee , then , that tha reform of
the Belgian constitution , and thn resultant
possibility of the nceossion of the radicals to
power , is a matter of no little consequence to
the great powers of Kuropo.

Tlio latest reports from China are to the
offcct that the native opposition to all work of
railroad construction , if loss fanatical than it
was a short time ago , is still obatiunto and
sorious. When work was begun a short time
ago upon the projected line at Kapiiig , the
attitude ol the Cnntonoso was so menacing
that moro than ono-hnlf of the English work
men were compelled to retire. It is pointed
out by Encllsh correspondents that the con
tract for : iOUO , tons of rails reported to hnvo
boon signed recently by the Chinese govern
ment , if It has boon made at nil , docs not have
nny bearing , necossnrily , upon tuo question
of commercial railwa > s , but Is far moro likely
to hnvo some connection wth ! the plan to
build military roads , for strategic purposes ,
from Poklu to the northeastern frontier. Tno
Chinese authorities uro not blind to the im
portance of tno Uiusl in operations nt Vladi-
vostock , to which their attention h'.u boon
directed rather sharply of Into by the prepara
tions for tlio visit of the cziirovltch to that
port , and the ursenal which would bo so con
venient in the event of u cimpalgn on the

that ox-Governor Furnas was to bu chosen ns
ono of the world's fair commls-tlonor ) , it now
crops out that that gentleman has been Ig
nored by Governor Tuuyor nnd will bo miido
to understand that he is not in it. The man
chosen by Thayer to 1111 that important poit-
tion is Harry liotchklss , n clerk In ono of the
railroad oftlcus hero. Thnyor's reason for
appointing Hoichklss is that when ex-Gov
ernor Furnns hud charge of Uio XobrnOm
exhibit nt Now Orleans , Ilotimkisi , who
was employed by Furnas to help
nrrango the exhibit did so nicely in his work
that Governor Thnyor bollove.s that he will
rolled credit to the state of Nebraska by his
management of tno Nebraska exhibit at Chi
cago. Mr. Hotchklss Is a niombor of the
state militia with the rank of colonel , and is
a staunch friend und admirer of ( lovornor
Thayer.
The friends of ox-Governor Furnas nro
