WYOMING is the coming mineral com

LINCOLN is naturally a beautiful city

charms of nature until the cnpital is
itrikingly attractive. In those years of
vigorous growth her citizens have not
neglected the importance of something
besides business blocks , manufaotoilos ,
street nnd steam railroads , but have also
made Lincoln an educational center ,
which will attract to bor the best class

OMAHA AS AN EDUCATIUXAI. CENTKl
The recent action of the board of trut
too a of Bellevue college In clmngln ,
the name of the institution , to thatc
Iho University of Omaha and'arrnnglni
for enlarging Its scope BO as to conforti
to the character of a university , Is n stc ;
for advancing this city as an oducn
tlonal center upon which the communlt ,
is to bo congratulated. As already tin
nounccd it la proposed that the depart
incuts of letters , science nnd arts a
Bellevue college shall continue there
and that those of law , theology , medicine
cine and other professional schools wll
bo located at Omaha. Some Urn
ago Dr. George L. Miller donatci
land at Seymour park ns a slto for th
Omaha thooloclcal somiriary , and thli
institution , which will open for the flrs
time In September next , "will become i
part of the University of Onmha. Ai
effort is making to induce the Omalu
medical college to consolidate with tht
university , and if successful the instltu
tion will secure ono of the best equipped
medical school's of' the west. At anj
rate the promise is that thi.a city is tc
have a university which in scope urn
character will favor.ibly compare wltl :
any in tiio country , and whlcli
may bo expected to expand Ir
usefulness with the growth of the
city and surrounding country. There
is undoubtedly room here , if there be
not an urgent demand , for such an Insti
tution , and it is safe to predict for It c
great and useful career.
There is every probability that withlr
the next two or three years Omaha will
bo the seat of a Lutheran soiriinary ,
Thn very generous donation of land ir
this city for a site , valued at $100,000 ,
recently made by Mr. Augustus
Kountzo , together with 850,000 In cash ,
conditioned upon another $15,00 ( ) (
being raised to construct buildings
and furnish them , doubtless In-
suios the seminary to this city.
The proposition was accepted with
llttlo hesitation by the Lutheran
conference and a substantial sum was
subscribed at oncn , so that there is
every reason to expect that the whole
amount required will bo secured within
the time designated. Tbe Lutheran denomination -
nomination has no thoblogicil seminary
west of Gettysburg , Pa. , so that if ono
is established in Omaha it will provide
for a wide region of country and will
have relative importance.
The law and medical departments of
the Wesleyan university at Lincoln , are
to bo removed to Omaha , and will "be n
valuable addition to the educational fa
cilities oi this city. Thus Omaha , for
years occupying a prominent place
among the cities of the country for her
excellent common school system , will ,
in the near future , outrank most of the
cities of her class in the moans of higher
education. The prospect is ono which
every citizen can regard with a lively
sense of gratification.
THE OMAHA NORMAL SCHOOL.
TJIO Omaha training school for toach-
era clofos its first year with a public en
tertainment in Boyd's opera house on the
aftornoon'of Juno 24. On that occasion
the graduates will receive their certifi
cates and a summing up of the year's
work will bo mndo for the Information of
those present and the public in general.
This training school is especially in
tended for Omaha young people who
desire special instruction in theory and.
practice of teaching. It Is a normal
school at homo under the supervision of
efficient instructors who personally di
rect not only the classes studying textbooks
*
books upon pedagogy , but tholr actual
practice with classes in a primary de
partment
The school has awakened a
great deal of interest. Twenty
sight students have taken the course
this .voar. They are all graduates of the
Omaha high school. Only Omaha young
people are entitled to its benefits. The
lualifications for admission are rosi-
3onco in Omaha , good moral character
ind a high school or equivalent
sducation. Pupils of the private and
lonominutional institutions of the city
vs well as those of the high school are
idmittod and welcomed. Residents of
Dmaha who have been instructed olso-
ivhoro , but who are able to pass an ox-
unination in the branches comprising
iho high school course are permitted to
mrticipato in Its benefits.
The friends of this now departure nro
confident that its successful work this
ear has entirely disarmed any crlti-
jlsms which may have heretofore 'booti
jurront upon the general proposition of
mparting normal school Instruction at
liomo. The board of education Is greatly
rratlflcdat the results achieved and the
.raining school has apparently become
i permanent feature of our system.
THE WOIILD'S fVtm ,
The great event toward which Chicago
ooks with an interest which Is contag-
ous is an assured success. Nothing
ihort of a terrible calamity to the whole
sountry or the city or a disastrous war
: an interfere with its progress to groat-
icds which can never bo equaled by any
irovloua world's exposition. The
\ujorican people regard the coming
ivent with well nigh as much interest
ind enter Into its plans with almost as
uuch enthusiasm as the people of the
front city In which it Is to bo hold ,
fhoy know that Chicago is equal to the
> ccaslon and there Is no hint of a doubt
is to tholr duty to contribute cheerfully
md generously to the momentum with
vhlch the ontorprlKo Is moving on from
lope nnd expectation to realization.
Six stales only of the 41 have refused
o pass appropriations. Those will un-
loubtcdly realize tholr mistake and ro-
: all tholr action before the fair opens ,
n any ovout their public spirited cltl-
ona will contribute funds from their prl >
nto means to make good the dnfidonuioa ,
f any , nnd it is safe at this time to Jivy
hat every state in the union will bo
redltably represented. Only 27 states
.nil territories voted appropriations for
ho centennial ox position In 3870 , and
heir aggregate amount was but $1,517-
00 , Already 20 elates havq approprl-
.ted over $2,500,000. Pennsylvania's
otnl appropriations for the centennial
mounted to $1,125,000 , and the city of
'lilladolphla gave $1,500,000 more. The
Jnltcd States government gave to the
'hlladelphia exposition in 1870 $0(0,250 ( ,
nd loaned the exposition 31,600,000.
'b.o national appropriation for the
Chicago world's fair Is $1,500,000. Chi
ctigo hns not asked for a Htocic sUb crip
( Ion outside of the city , but has put her
self In the way of raising $12,000,000 to
the fair.
Ofllclal acceptances of the president'
Invitation to participate have boon received
coivod already from Prance , Groa
Britain , Germany , Spain , China , Mexico
Peru , II6nduras , Salvador , Costa lllcn
Columbia , Cuba , Guatemala , Jamaica
and unofficial notices from Egypt
Morocco , Nicaragua , Venezuela
Ecuador , Brazil , San Domingo , Ilayt
and British Columbia , It is only a ques
tion of time when nearly all the nation
of the globe , largo and small , will havi
dofinitolj" Informed this'govornmon
that they are to bo represented. Tin
world's fair of 1893 will bo the greatos
and most Imposing International event
over witnessed , if lavish expenditure
and enterprise can make It so.
A PHAOT1CAL SUaOESTlON.
When lion. Benjamin Buttorworth ,
secretary of the world'a fair commission ,
was recently in Omaha , ho made a vorj
practical suggojtion to n representative
of THK BKK , which is worthy of consid
eration. This was that four or more
states join hands In the erection qf n
hundsomo building. Lot them build It ,
said Mr. Buttorworth , in the form of n
cross , or after some artistic design , as
signing n wing to each state , and lot
there bo ono general assembly room or
pavilion In tho.'ccntor where the
people from the various states
can moot and mingle , _ and from
which the thronging visitors can pass
to each and all of the state departments
represented in the building. " In this
manner the buildings will bo made
more attractive and imposing , nnd no
state will bo missed by the thousands of
sightseers. If the states , said Mr. But-
terworth , erect separata buildings some
of thorn will scarcely bo noticed , because
their buildings will be nipftgro compared
with other great buildings. Ho stated
that the idea of combining and erecting
a joint building has boon favorably
considered by some of the states
farther east nnd will undoubtedly bo
adopted. "Wo would like to see , " said
Mr. Butterworth , . ' 'Nebraska , * Iowa ,
Kansas and Colorado unite in the erec
tion of a handsome building , each state
occupying a wing of the building. "
This suggestion should receive the
attontipn of the commissions of the
above-named states which will have
charge of the preparations of
tholr exhibits at the Columbian
exposition. The plan is entirely feas
ible , and it could bo carried out with a
saving of expense to the states in com
parison with the cost of separate
building for each. There is force also ,
in the idea that state exhibits in a
structure largo enough to accommodate
several of them would receive creator
attention than if made in separate build-
'ngs that would bo overshadowed by the
more imposing surroundings. The largo
majority of people are attracted by the
proportions of a building , naturally ox-
poctirfg to find within it more for their
instruction nnd "entertainment , and as
of the vest crowds that , will
visit Iho world's fair tens of thous
ands will have only a very limited time
to stay there , all such will be compelled
to neglect the smaller and separated dis
plays. Wore the four states montiou'qd
by Mr. Buttorworth to unite in carrying
out his suggestion , assuming that each
of them intends to have a building for
its exhibit , they could have an imposing
structure of attractive architectural de
sign which could bo constructed at
three-fourths the cost of four separate
buildings , and which undoubtedly would
insure greater attention to tholr .ex
hibits. Every consideration cotmnonds
the suggestion of Secretary Buttorworth
us eminently practical and judicious.
PltiNCE AND PKOPLK.
Immediately after the verdict in the
baccarat case the Prince of Wales re
paired to the Ascot races with a number
of bis chums and was received , there
with a demonstration of what seemed
popular enthusiasm. It was at once
[ issumod that notwithstanding the .dis
creditable revelations affecting the
prince in the gambling case the English
people wore still so loyal to him that
Ihoy wore ready to condone the part
lio'playod In that scandal. Unquestion
ably some of them wore. The class
3f whom Lord Chief 'Justice Colc-
ridge said , "Thoy are all very
much pleased to have such guests
is the prince of Wales , " wore very
willing to show the heir apparent that
Lhoy hold him in no loss regard because
rt the disgraceful episode in his career
through which ho had just passed. The
aristocrats onjtho ono'hand and thoprol-
3tnriat on , the other could unite in
throwing up tholr hats and shouting in
testimony of their loyalty to the heir
ipparont and their indifference to the
.utost evidence of his vices.- Even the
ord chief justice , by the side of whom
the prlnco sat during the trial of the
jaccarat cube , could lind palliating clr-
jumstancos for his having introduced
, hat most viqious of gambling games at
Tranby Croft , and cloubtlost ) every
jambler-in England quite agreed with
: ils lordship.
But the great middle class of Eng-
and , the class which Is. becoming , if It
jo not already , the most powerful and
yill ultimately determine whether the
> rasont form of the British government
s to bo permanent , hold different
i-Iow of the matter. Those Intelligent
Msoplo whoso conscience Is not v/arpod by
the worship of royalty , and who do not
'col that loyally to tholr native land in-
rolvos the necessity of compromising
vitu vice in high places , are not satis
fied that the man who may at any time
)0 elevated to the throne of England
ind who therefore should set an exam-
do of virtue nnd dignity nna true mnn-
Inoss to the nation , shall go unro-
jukcd for having failed to do
, hls. They do not couinlaln that
the cheat , Gordon Gumming , was con-
rictod of his rascality nnd has suffered
i deserved penalty , but they Insist that
ils n&soaiates In vice shall not escape
lioir just share of responsibility for the
llsgraco brought upon the nation. They
lo not admit that wrong-doing by royalty
s any loss grave an oiTonso than when
< ommlttoa by ordinary people , uud it Is
ilgnlflcnnX of the growth of a more fear-
ess public sontlmoi.t in England that
they BO dcclnfn They may not really
doslt'o that tJMprlnco of Wales shall bo
subjected t < | | form of punishment ,
'and least of I < U1 that ho shall Buffer
tlio humiliation of being retired
from the oemy , but , they ( lo de
mand that such ofllclal no-
tlco bo taken Of his conduct ns will bo a
fitting rebukennd will not leave the na
tion In the pi salon of having been Indifferent -
different to 1 iiiolTonso.
The prince og Wales Is long past mld-
dlo life. Fo\tjWo than a quarter of a
century ho has occupied the position of
rightful succBseor to the British throno.
Ho has had the opportunity to bo in
deed , what ho Is by title , the first gen
tleman of England. But ho has boon
chiefly distinguished for his gallant at
tentions to women and by his facility
for accumulating debts , and now In ad- ,
dltlon to these the world knows htm as a
persistent and not overscrupulous gain-
blor , carrying about with him in his visIts -
Its to country houses n gambling outfit.
Surely the bettor class of the English
people would merit the contempt of all
the world if they failed to condemn such
a revelation.
TUB AnTI-TllUST i/tlt' VPHKLD.
A decision has just been rendered by
the United States district court for the
midtllo district of Tennessee upholding
the anti-trust law passed by the last con
gress. The case which called out this
decision was , the prosecution under the
law of a coal combination consisting of
the Nashville coal exchange , Kentucky
mine owners nnd the Nashville coal
dealers , the purpose of the monopoly
being to control the production and
price of coal. It was brought as n
test case , and Judge Key in
his decision hold that the law
is constitutional nnd said that the defendants -
fondants in the case must bo perpetually
enjoined and restrained from further
violating the provisions of the anti-trust
law by further carrying on their trade
under the agreement by which the coal
exchange was established.
The law thus having boon victorious
in its first attack upon monopoly , it is a
reasonable hope that efforts will bo
made to apply it to all exist
ing combinations which violate its
provisions. The act invests United
States circuit * courts with juris
diction to prevent violations of the law ,
and requires district attorneys to insti
tute proceedings against offenders. It
also provides ttuU pel-sons injured by
the trusts may' auo and recover three
fold the damage sustained. It has boon
suggested that/iTis / the duty of the de
partment of juStice to put in motion pro
ceedings against-tho 'Various trusts and
combinations that can bo reached by the
law , but this does not seem to bo neces
sary. No harm , would be done by
the department of justice in
structing or3 advising the dis
trict attorneys o to their 'fluty , and it
would , porhap,3De well to do this , but
manifestly the officials can proceed with
out such' instruc'tlons. The law is not
exactly mandatory upon thorn , but it
was evidently iutondocl by congress that
district-attornoys-should proceed against
violnt rsofvtho.-ltw ( without wilting for
instructions from 'Washington or com
plaints from individuals. But still it
might oo a gooi , thing for the depart
ment of justice to take nction.for the en
forcement of the law. It is possible
that it has boon waiting for a
decision in the test case before doing
anything , nnd that having this the
department will now move for making
the law effective against all combina
tions to which it applies.
It is certainly -timo that something of
this sort were dono. The anti-trust law
has boon In force more than n year , nnd
the republican congress which passed It ,
after prolonged consideration , intended
that it should bo enforced. It has thus
far been practically n dead letter , thus
causing the good tfaith of congress and
the good administration in connection
with this legislation , to bo called in
question. Trusts and combinations have
multiplied and flourished in unmistak
able violation of the law , and opponents
of the republican party hnvo not boon
slow to use this fact for whatever effect
it might have in damaging the party in
popular confidence , The administration
could do itself and the party it repre
sents no bettor service than to take
stops for < the thorough enforcement of
.the anti-trust law.
Tun proposed Congo treaty and its
rejection so far as this country is con
cerned by the United States senate has
almost escaped recollection. In about a
month the great powers of Europe will
probably ratify the Brussels agreement
guaranteeing that the slave trade arid
sale of brooch-loading arms and intoxi
cants in the Congo shall bo suppressed.
The nltpd States cannot , of course , be
come a party to the convention without
the consent of the sonato. That body
will probably abide by Us former
action , though a motion to reconsider is
pending. There nro statesmen in that
body who contend strongly against the
compact for two/vpry good reasons , ono
of which is thatPtho spirit of the Monroe
doctrine will 'oJJ'Iolatod by formally
entering into the agreement. The other
rotates to cortaluTjoundary controversies
between the rpju'bllcs ) of Prance nnd
Liberia in which : the interests of Liberia
might bo comp'fqjhisod. Nevertheless ,
'
both the prosldqi'ijjjand the state depart
ment regard it aa advisable for this gov
ernment to joln Uid other nations in the
philanthropic rijyi-pi-lso contemplated

may yet bo induct to glvo its consent ,

An effort will bo made to secure the loca
tion of the next republican national conven
tion at Omaha. And why not ? The west
has been the backbone of the republican
_ party , nnd will continue to bo. This vast sec
tion , always oyorwnolmlngly republican , al
ways true to the party , has never received
any consideration whatever at tbo hands of
the party. It was not doubtful. It noyor
needed a sop to stimulate Its loyalty.
While Jt.ho recalcitrant and doubtful
states have received tbo plums the gro.it and

cans \vlthout a whimper. The least the
party can do in return is to locate tha na

tic west.
