WITH 100 of the 1-10 stalls in the Coli-
EOUIU building already taken it is very
clear that the industrial exposition in
Juno will bo an unqualified success.
Tlir interstate drill would probably
draw the largest crowds if hold on the

Dakota was for Harrison all the time ,
nnd did not make any attempt to secure
an uninstructcd delegation to Minne

AND now it is McKoighan the Red

peerless statesman nnd orator. Whew !
How wo Nebraska fresh water mackerel

IT COST the government 81,880,000 last
year for medical examinations of appli
cants for ponaions. Those figures ought
to silence all suggestions that nocessiivy
precautions are not talcon ugainst fraud
and deception.
ALREADY some writers on monetary
Bcionca arc advocating the use of alumi
num for money , especially for $1.000
coins. By the time the bimetallic con
gress is called there may bo enough
sentiment worked up to transform it
into n trimotullic congress.
DHNVKU is now entertaining a
sugar convention and that enterprising
city will have a boot sugar factory in
operation before Omaha gets through
talking about the subject , Omaha can
learn a good deal from Denver in the
way of practical public spirit.
IK GENKUAL JOHN M. PALMER , of
Illinois had not been n gallant union
soldier hia ago would not bo thrown so
frequently athwart the path loading
from the senate chamber to the .white
house. Only one ox-union soldier has
even boon nominated for the presidency
by the democratic party.
MR. Mc-ICr.iaiiAN in his silver speech
says ho was n boldior nnd was paid in
depreciated currency , but ho never felt
like kicking on that account. The kick
ing was done for nnothor renson , which
was developed at a camp fire at the
Grand Island reunion last fall , much to
the chagrin of Mr. McKolglmn.
Tun appeal of the Real Estate Owners
association for assistance in its worthy
efforts to stimulate interest in Omaha
as a location for factories should not go
unbonded. A small contribution month
ly from the owners of real estate in this
ulty would enable the association to ac
complish results of lasting benefit to the
association.
TEXAS and Now Mexico stockmen
appreciate the Omaha markol and they
are as niuoh interested as wo in secur
ing fair freight rates. The justice of
our claim for a differential as against
the Kansas City rate of $7.50 per cm-
load ought to induuo the railway com
panies to concede the rate. As * they
uro not making rates from a sense of
justice , however , perhaps it will bo
nooo3ury to make our wants known in
Eomo other way.
AtrouDiNa to the estimate of the
county olork there is property In this
city of n taxable value of 82oOO,000 used
for church , olmritablo and other pur
poses which IB exempt from taxation.
Tho.se llgures nro relative only and rep
resent only about ono-tonth of the real
vnluo of such property. In other words ,
the church , charitable and other organ
izations referred to own about $25,000-
000 worth of untaxed property in Omaha.
NKJIRASKA millers should bo sustained
by Nebraska people in this bitter , relentless -
lontloss and unfair wtir with the Minno-
iota millers. Nebraska Hour is just as
good as the Minnesota urtlulo and these
northern monopolists should bo tnught
by our people that they will not bo per
mitted to engage in out-throat tactics
for the destruction of local industries.
This fight is one in which the millers
are not alone interested. The principle
of patronizing homo industry Is in
volved.

The British squadron in the Pacific ,
which according to the English papers
is now moving northward to Boring
sen , is not very formidable. It consists
of eight ships carrying n total of sov-
oiit.\-fotir guns and about 1,600 man.
This force , should it bo decided by thn
British government to employ It In pro
tecting the Canadian sealers , scores of
which have already cleared from
Victoria or Vancouver , would not c.ttiso
any alarm , but of course it could be In
creased teiidily from the China station ,
whore Great Britain maintains u largo
squadron. Lite Informttlrn roportotl
that only four vcssula of Iho Pacific licet
would bo held at Victoria to perform
any duty required at the north , but re
cent circumstances nitty induce u modi
fication of thin arrangement and put the
entire squadron into aurvlco at the
north.
The force of war vessels and rcvnnuo
cutters employed by the United States
government last octtsotf in patrolling
Boring pea is still available. The Bmr
the Rush and the Corwln are preparing
to renew the Service ; the Mohican and
the Thetis are on the Pacific coast and
c. n bo sent back to Alaskan wittersas
also can the Alurtnnd the Marlon , which
passed the winter on the Asiatic station.
In addition to restoring this force to the
seal police duties , the Rtingor , which is
about to go into commission , can bo cm-
ployed in this service. Besides the i >
wooden vessels there would bj available
the now stool ships now in the Pacific ,
which were to bo used in case of war
with Chill. But the force will pot-Imps
bo ample without these unloas the Brit
ish government proposes to protect the
poachers , and it would certainly suom
that this is contemplated.
The determination of President Harrison
risen to employ all the power of the
government necessary to protict the
rights of the United States in Boring
sea and to enforce the imperative man
date of the law of congress , it is still to
bo hoped may have the olToct to induce
Lei d Salisbury to accede to the reason
able request of this government for it renewal
nowal of last year's agreement , but
there is little probability that ho will recede -
cede from the position he has taken. It
docs not necessarily follow , however ,
that ho will provoke a conllict with the
United States by protecting the C.vnu-
diun poachers , and it is to bj regarded
as rather moro than likely that ho will
leave them to take care of themselves.
The English newspapers profosu to re
gard the situation as being dangerous ,
and so undoubtedly it is , but it is hardly
conceivable that the British govern
ment will risk a war with the United
States in order to enable a few Canadian
poachers to carry on their piratical busi
ness.
TA31MAXV TACTICS.
Mr. E. L. Godkin , editor of the Now
York Evening Poft , WES arrested for
criminal libel nt an enrly hour Sunday
morning. The man who caused the ar
rest is 11 creature of the political organ
ization of which Boss Twccu was at one
time the chief. The only apparent reason
for making the arrest on Sunday was to
subject Mr. Godkin to all the annoy
ance and humiliation possible. Ho has
made a persistent warfare upon Turn-
many , expos-ing and denouncing its cor
rupt methods and lawless practices , and
consequently has incurred its bitter
hatred. Tammany is relentless in the
pursuit of these who are the objects of
its hostility. To take a respectable and
responsible citizen from bis bed on Sun
day morning and hurry him to the police
court was a proceeding quite character
istic of the unscrupulous political organ
ization which controls the democratic
party in New York.
The Now York Tribune observes that
it was not Mr. Godkin nlone at whom
tlieso proceedings were aimed. They
were manifestly intended , says that
paper , as a warning to all newspaper
editors and others who might feel dis
posed to criticibO the methods of Tam
many or the character of its Instru
ments. They servo to emphasize the
fact that Tammany Hall , if it has not
yet reached the point of absolute power
wboro it can suppress hostile utterances
entirely , has at least the machinery
whereby it can subject to great innoy-
anco and put in peril the personal lib
erty of whoever ventures to criticiso it
too harshly. "It Is a sign of the times , "
says the Vibioic , "a sign of the grow
ing audacity of the gang who rule the
town. " Interest in this matter is not
conllned to Now \orlc , since it is this
political organization which is the chief
support of n candidate for the presi
dency , which is In control of the demo
cratic machine in the Empire state , and
which would , in the event of tlio election
of its candidate to the presidency , ex
tend its power and inlluonco over the
whole country.
Tammany is the most dangerous polit
ical foico in this country , or that , has
over existed here , ant1 except during
the Tweed regime It has never boon
more corrupt and unscrupulous than It
is at present. When the honest formers
of the northwest are asked to coalesce
with the democrats , in order to put a
democrat in the executive ahaiV at
Washington , they should rolloot th it
the chief promoters of this schema are
men who enjoy the confidence and
friendship of Tammany , which has not
the remotest interest In thu welfare of
the farmers of the country and is seek
ing only the spoils of power.

At Fremont the agent of Tun BIK

circulates 15 at Elkhorn and 25 at North

In the face of this comparative exhibit
THE Bun is content to lot would-be
rivals talk about its decline.
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating.
In March , 1880 , the aggregate daily
circulation of THE BEE was 11,5157 ; in
March , 1SS7. it was 14,400 ; in March ,
1888 , lOS3 ! ) ; March , 188 ! ) , 18,831 ; March ,
1800 , 20,815 ; March , 1801 , 24.005. Dur
ing the present month it has ranged
from21.JO : ! to 24,800. There has been
no material growth in population either
in Omaha or Nebraska ainco 1890 , and
wo are just emerging from n very marked
depression that has affected newspaper
patronage as it has nil other lines of
business. The fact that THE BEE now
has ever -1,000 moro daily circulation
than it had in 1890 , affords abundant
proof of its ability to maintain its rank
as the most widely circulated paper be
tween Chicago and San Francisco. And
it will take several years before our 611-
lorprising contemporary can catch up
with it.
TUK PltlMAItr llbECTlOX HULKS.
Every honest republican will welcome
reform in the caucus , primary and con
vention. It is a well understood fact
that the worst evils of universal suffrage
are perpetrated through these prelimi
nary elections and meetings of partisans.
Thcroforo the average citizen will re
gard with favor the effort now being
made by the republican city and county
central committees for reform because
it is a stop in the right direction.
The scheme already outlined is open
to serious objections , some of which htivo
been pointed out by THE BEE. The
members of the two committees win yet
remodel their work and ' they should dose
so before the call is made for the prim
ary elections. The weakest spot in the
now plan is the caucus. The caucus
should bo abolished. It is the source of
the worst abuses of our present pro-
election system.
The other dangerous feature of the
proposed regulations is the arbitrary
power conferred upon the committees in
the registration of voters. It enables
designing men to pad the registration
lists and vote gangs of repeaters under
fictitious names notwithstanding the
penalty which the law proscribes for il
legal voting at primary election : ? .
The committees are to bo commended
for their interest in the matter. It is a
healthful indiu.ition to Hnd the mana
gers of a political parly striving to guard
the pre-election methods of their organ
ization from fraud , intimidation nnd
other forms of corruption. THE BEE
hopes in their deliberations at the com
ing meeting they will bo able to improve
upon the regulations hitherto consid
ered , and that King Caucus may bo de
prived of his imperial crown.
llltlTlSH I'LAKti IN NOltTIf AMUItlCA.
The report that tbo British govern
ment contemplates occupying the harbor
of San Quentin , Lower California , us a
coaling station , may not bo well founded ,
but there can bo no doubt of the purpose
of the British government to strengthen
its power in North America so as to in
sure greater hecurity to its possessions
hero. Two wcok-s njjo , at a dinner In
London , Sir Charles Tuppor , high com
missioner of Canada in England , made
u speech which aroused his hoarnrs to
great enthusiasm. lie stated that by
"nor present policy Canada prevented
Now York and Boston from becoming
commercial capitals , and with the aid of
the homo crovornmunt aho could atlll
further oncro.ich upon the prestige of
theeo cities and make ODD of .her own
seaports the greatest outlet in the world
for grain , lie also delighted his
English auditors by tolling them that it
would not bo lonsr before the psoplo of
the Dominion would show their loyalty
to the integrity of the British oniplro
by striking the United Stales a vital
blow.
It is unquestionable that the tori K v-
ormnont of Canada exerts n great inllu
once with the imperial government , nnd
it is being used now to induuo the latter
to strengthen the defenses of the Domin
ion frontier and to put Canada in u con
dition that would enable her , in the
event of serious trouble with the United
States , to take her own part until Brit
ish help could arrive. The plan of
fvrtifyhig Esquimaulund ! strengthening
the defenses at Vancouver , which the
British govo-nmont has been asked by
the Canadian government to do , nnd
which iloubtlcM-wlll bo done , Indicates
not nlono tt sotiio of insecurity , but also
n purpose noS to permit any loss of
British powers-oil this continent. Of
course this la a matter concerning which
the United States has no right to com
plain.
There is not necessarily ntiv monnco
to this country in tlieso plans of the
British and Canadian governments , nnd
so far as the tfiif ) t of Sir Charles Tup
per , that the Dominion would before
long strike the United States u vital
b'.ow , is concerned , it need causa no
apprehension. It Is not clear In what
way Canada could Inlllct any very seri
ous injury upon this country , commer
cial or otherwise , xvhalovor help she
should receive from England ; but such
disclosures are interesting as indicating
the spirit that actuates the party in
power in the Dominion , which Is evi
dently not one of friendliness to the
United Stntcs. Those people who as
sume that the British government
would readily accede to a proposal to
nnnox Canada or any part of it to the
United States are mistaken. England
has no doslro to part with her North
American possessions , and there is
reason to bullvo that she will do moro
in the future than In the pnst to make
her hold upon them secure.

ing to do with the causes ot England's irrita
tion toward this country , but Is lound in thu
adoption by the United States of America of
the two fundamental principle } ns potent
factors ot England's greatness , viz : First ,
the atromioUH development of our commer
cial interests , and second , the organization
of a co m potent navy to 'protect said Inter
ests.
ests.Tno paramount qualification of nil English
statesmen whether llboral or tory , whether
of Gladstone or Salisbury , is the ability to
"protect the commercial interests ol the
country. " Every statesman and ovorj party
Is a unit on this question and , unltlto this
country , the parttoa are ngrocd as to the
method , namely : Fieu trade with the world
and exchanges to bo imido by and throitgh
English vcsseU and Knghsn merchants.
Enginnd considers herself the workshop of
the world , nnd nt present she rightly is so.
Thl condition she has nttnlnod by n system
of sagacious protection until protection was
no longer necessary so that now unrestricted
trade with all nations is her policy , whioh ,
with her immense revenue derived from her
gigantic shipping business , enables her to
control the exchanges ot 'ho world.
But in the west n formidable competitor
has appeared. Not nlena has her religion ,
her laws , her civilization been adopted and
improved upon , but now her business poli
cies nnd nnval system Is bolntr closely copied
and vigorously developed. Should our pres
ent national policy bo sustained , the year
1'JJo ' will see Now York the London of today.
It will see the states cast of the Mississippi
successful competitors of Birmingham and
Shoflleld , and the southern states In tbo fore
of Manchester nnd Bradford , New Jersey
elbowing Staffordshire , and Pennsylvania
putting out Iho iiros in the Iron districts of
Dudley and Walverhamnton. But more than
this , American vessels will still on every
sea , doing a large Kb are of the world's busi
ness , with a navy largo enough , commanders
cfllciont enough and seamen bravo enough to
sea to it that none shall molest or make them
afraid.
For England's commercial interests , there
fore , these things must not mature * , and if a
few inoftonslvo seals will furnish Lord
Salisbury with a sufllclent excuse for
strangling our infant navy before it gets big
enough to effectually blockade tbo mouth of
the St. Lnwronco , Lord Salisbury Is the man
to do it. Ho fears not the United States , but
ho does fear tbo common people , of England ,
who refused on a former occasion to indorse
Lord Dovloy in making war upon this coun
try. If there should bo no war , not to Lord
Salisbury , nor to tbo EnglUh aristocrats , nor
to Iho country gentleman or yeomanry will
bo the praise , but to the great middle classes ,
who , In all sincerity and truth , love America
second only to their own dear native land.

Nr.w Vomt , MarchSt. The Herald dis
patch from San Ulogo , Ual. , says that some
RtntcmonUs about the nature ot the Mexican
International company , which claims title to
13,000,000 ncros In Lower Uuhforntn , Just
across the border , nro mnilo by Charles An
thony , n reputable civil engineer who re
turned n few days ago from below the line.
Ho claims to Imvo positive knowledge that
the company , which Is composed ot British
capitalists , Is merely n cloak for a .schema on
the part of (3rcat Britain to soouro the har
bor ol Snn ( Jucntin , Lower California , for n
coaling station , so when the Nicaragua canal
has been complutod England will have u bnso
of supplies between Its ontrunco nnil her
American possessions on thu nortu Pacific
coast ,
The hnrhor of Snn Quentin is ono of the
host on Iho Paclllo coast nnd is mlmlrablv
udaptod for fortllloatlnns. Mr. Anthony has
lived four years In Lower California nnd ho
nsscrts positively that , vhen the country was
stirred up two years ngo by now of a lUibus-
tcring expedition with Lower California as
its objootwo paint , two British men-of-war ,
the Pheasant nndVnrsprite , were lying oil
San Qiientm harbor Just In sight of the coast ,
awaiting n signal from the bluff back of the
harbor , upon which they were to stcum in
nnd take possession of Snn Quoutiu on the
lllmsy pretext of protecting Biltlsh Interests
namely , the Mexican luicrnutlnnal com
pany.
pany.When It became Known that the whole
schema had been exposed , the men-of-war
got quickly out of Mgnt. The much-talked
of Improvements the railways , iron works ,
etc. , nro mostly mythical. A - > hort bit of
track has been laid , but it is suitable only
for a motor road. Further , Anthony nvors ,
that the next British vussol which brings
supplies to Snn Qucntin will carry more of
the munitions of war than of steel rails.
His most striking statement is tbnt all
these facts uro , and Imvo long been , known
at Washington , and that moro than once the
Stnto department has sent government
agents to ascertain where the Inturnntlonnl
company's headquarters nro , und they have
learned not only the facts heroin stated , but
many others important to the United States.
Ho declares , too , that this British scheme
has never been abandoned , and thnt her
majesty's government is only waiting nn op
portunity to put it into execution , regardless
of the Monroe doctrine.
It is not insignificant that the president of
tLo company is Sir Edward Jcnkinson , 1C. C.
B , , and that the general manager is Hon.
Edward Brulo , the last of tbo historic Scot
tish lino.
