SOMK Idea of the treat growth of the

ton years by 1,381,000 tons. The con
sumption of cotton doubled nnd the
manufacture of cotton seed oil gro\

mills almost doubled nnd the railroa' '
mileage increased from 13,288 to 21,05' '

The proposal that the lOOlh annivor-
iiry of the dUcovory of America , Octo-
ior 12 , 18(12 ( , shall be observed every
vhoro in the United States as a national
ivont , and that the public schools of the
intlon sh ill take u loading p.irt In the
olehration. hns mot with very gonornl
approval. When the ideii was first pro-
nulgntcd there was a prompt response
roiii the schools' , showing that the
onrhora and pupils were heartily in
vmpathy with the plan. The World's
'ongross auxiliary of the Columbian
ixposition took up the proposal and sug
gested that the public schools bo every-
vhoro the conto"s of the celebration ,
'he superintendents of education , at
heir national convention in February ,
ipproved the Ido.a and took charge Of
ho movement , designating tin oxecu-
ivo committee to arrange for the school
lolebrntlon.
This committee has Isstioi' ' nn appeal
o the scholars themselves to bo the
first to move. It calls upon them to
arouson sentiment in their schools and
n their neighborhoods for the celebra
tion of the great event ono of tlio very
greatest , indeed , in the history of the
vorld. There a-o l.'I.OOO.OOO pupils in
the public schools , and this vast army of
children the future law makers , sol-
Hers and servants of the republic
united In commemorating with patriotic
exorcise * the discovery of America ,
votild bo memorable in our history , and
is the committee suggests strengthen
the republic through the coming con-
, ury. The executive committee will
'urn ' Ish a program of exorcises , with a
view to having ; uniformity as to certain
cadlng features , but the schools may
elaborate the program at pleasure.
The proposed celebration is commend-
vblo from every point of view. As has
jcon well suggested the day itself ,
simply as a way of calling up the past ,
md giving it historical significance ,
will bo full of moaning , but it will bo
nuch moro than this. The historical
wrtof the celebration is not confined to
the mere act of the discovery of
America by Columbus on the morning1
of October 12. It is a day that roaches
) ick through four centuries of progress ,
md it includes all that America has
passed through in those -JOO years ; the
rowding out of ono race by another ,
the succession of ono civilization after
mother ; the growth of now ideas , and
the putting of old ideas to now service ;
the introduction of nobler manner ? ,
jotter laws , a larger nnd freer life than
iho world has known before , and , as the
'undamontal element in this now order ,
the creation and the development of our
[ Hiblic school system , than which
nothing is moro truly representative of
American ideas and institutions. There
can bo no doubtof the patriotic inltuctice
which this celebration will exert , and it
will not bo merely temporary in its
effect , but will take permunnnt hold of
the minds and hearts of the youth of the
republic , stimulatincrund strengthening
their love of country and inciting them
to a moro careful and thorough study of
the wonderful history of America. The
Interest with which the idea has thus
far been received assures for it general
and enthusiastic acceptance , nnd nowhere
whore will it bo accorded heartier favor
than in the west , whoso people are in
sympathy with everything intended to
properly nnd adequately celebrate the
discovery of Amui ico.
THE DKMOCltATIC Sl'LlT.
The fierce contest of Friday between
the warring factions of the democratic
party did not end with the primaries.
It was carried to the county convention
and resulted in a bolt by the minority
led by Euclid Martin. It appears from
the vote upon temporary organization
that the Boyd mon had a good majority.
The feeling was so intense that slight
provocation brought on bitter warfare
and when it was charged that the secre
tary , a Boyd man , had manipulated the
credential ? nnd shut out some of the
Martin delegates the latter became very
much excited. Each side assailed the
other with charges and counter charges
of fraud and in the end the convention
split. The result is double headers for
both the state and district conventions.
The Douglas county fight will not end
here ; it becomes a feature of the two
delegate convention ! ] .
To republicans this is interesting. It
is very clear that the wounds growing
out of the contest cannot bo honied at
once. They will undoubtedly rankle in
the breasts of the warring democrats
until after the November election. He-
publicans , by harmonious action within
their own ranks , can take advantage of
the demoralization of the onetny , nnd by
nominating a strong ticket from top to
bottom sweep the field ut the next elec
tion. The opposing ambitions in the
democratic party will muko it nn easy
task to swing this county strongly ropub-
licnn on the state and congressional us
well as the logislutlvo tlckut.
Tin ; I'uoi'osKn sunsiur.
Douglas county and Onmlm have boon
hammed and hindered by the bridge
embargo for nearly twenty years. It is
very generally believed Unit hut for this
monopoly and Its Incidents Omtiha might
before this have contained a population
of 200,000 , The bridge haa stood between
Omaha and the Iowa railways. It liua
taken toll upon every pound of freight
and every incoming settler passing over
it slnco its completion. For yonra this
arbitrary wheel within the Union Pacific
wheel charged and collected 50 cents
from every passenger and practically
shut out of this city the business of west
ern Iowa. For years a charge of 910 per
carload each way stood as a monnco to
Omaha traffic. The jobbers of this city
were prohibited from trading in western
Iowa and Missouri because the insatiate
bridge monopoly demanded $10 per oar
ouch way for freight and thus sot up a
churgo of $20 per car against Omaha
and in favor of Council Bluffs on western
Iowa business. The rates are lower now ;
but the monopoly continues , discrimina
tions are still rondo against Omaha and
It stands between this city and itnpor
tant railway riiulllUoj , Its owner * are
determined that there shall bo no com
petition.
The ramifications of this monopoly are
remarkitblf. Its inlluonco uwnkons the
opposition of bankers , merchants ,
lawyers and capitalists ivlionuvor any
proposition in presented for relief to the
community. It clutched the Inde
pendent Omaha and Council Bluffs
railroad nnd wagon bridge , and In Its
cold , clammy way caused tlio abandon
ment of the railroad part of the bridge
and fro/o out the capitalist to whoso
energy aim foresight the two cities owe
this valuable driveway across the river.
When the Interstate Bridge comp.iny
became nn organisation with the
nllogod purpose of spanning the river at
Knst Oimlm , ho-6 agiln the old
monopoly was to DO soon In the personnel
of some of the olll"3ra of the now com
pany. When the old Nebraska Central
had about completed Us arrangements
for erecting abridge to bs usjd by the
Milwaukee and Rock Island rallroads.tho
Union Pacific Bridge company JloppoJ
in and undo a contract with thoao
corporations whereby the b.icklng was
taken from the now bridge enterprise
and it failed.
The people have another opportunity
for relief. The Nebraska Central Hall
way company is revived. Now b'.oo.l
has boon Injected into tlio enterprise
and it proposes n bridge , rallro.ul and
terminal enterprise which will assure
the people of this city and county com
petition lor all the future. It docs
more. It affords entrance to this city
and South Omaha for any now lines
anxious to secure Omaha Irallk' . It re
moves tit once and forever the chief
difficulty in the way of securing addi
tional railway facilities by ottering to
all the bridge and terminal accommoda
tions which , if purchased by the indi
vidual roads , would cost each of them
$500,000. It is an enterprise * deserving
the aid of the community and the moro
closely and candidly the proposition to
the voters of this county is examined
the moro important does the under
taking appear In its bearing upon the
future growtli of city and county.

Interest in the great quadrlonninl
meeting of tlio representative clergy
men and layman of the Methodist
Episcopal church is not confined to per
sons of that religious ftiith. In these
days of newspapers and general knowl
edge of alTaira men and woman nrosook-
ing mid acquiring Information upon all
manner of topics and the proceedings ol
a great religious gathering are followed
with as mucji intolligonoo and attention
as those of a national political party or
an international scientific assembly. To
Omaha and Nebraska people the confer
ence assumes an especial interest bo -
cause for the first time in its history this
aggressive denomination has culled its
legislative assembly to meet in the
west. Curiosity and interest combine to
make the occasion one of import inco lo
cally to all our people , and especially to
Methodists.
TIIK BKU as tlio representative journal
of the trnnsmissouri region will dnvolo
a great deal of attention to this mooting
during its continuance , and prior to tlio
opening date will seek to inform its
readers upon subjects directly incident
thereto.
The question of admitting women to
the general conference has been , durinp
the last four years , a topic of very wide
discussion. Involving as it docs a
change of the constitution of the church ,
under the rules a vote of throe-fourths
of the members of the Raima1 conference ,
together with a two-thirds vote of a
preceding or succeeding1 general confer
ence is necessary to adopt the principle
of female suffrage. Owing partly to the
con&ervatism of tlio churches and partly
to a slight difference of opinion as to
the interpretation of the proposed cltuiso
covering the proposition , a throe-fourths
vote of the annual conferences has not
been secured for the innovation. A
clear majority has boon obtained , how
ever , of both the clergy nnd the laity ,
pointing to the ultimate adoption of an
article in the discipline providing for
the admission of fonnle delegates. The
conference in May cannot make the
change , but it can rosubrait the question ,
and probably , if it should again ba dis
cussed for four years nnd again bo
brought before the annual conferences ,
the movement will bo successful.
At the g'jnornl conference a review of
the whole field of Molhodist. religious
endeavor will bo made. It will show
among other things a most remarkable
progress in the missionary fields. The
missionary income has grown with each
year of the last four until in 18U ! the
highest results wos-c attained in receipts
for the Foreign Missionary hocioty of
$1,288,888. "Tlio Woman's Foreign Mis
sionary society raised an additional sum
of fcJOIl.GGO , and the Woman's Homo
Missionary society $ lo3a)8. ! ) The board
of church extension collected $311,827 ,
and the Freudman's Aid society $ ; 122-
050. In n single mission field , tlio North
India conference , the baptisms of con
verted hentliens have , for n year past ,
averaged 500 per week. Within twelve
months 10,000 accessions to the church
in that Hindoo land have boon'reported.
In the homo field the most interesting
movement has been in the organization
and equipment of doaconessos' homes
and training schools. It is just four yearn
in May since the church provided fo-
licensing deaconesses , but twentv-throo
homos and training schools have boon
formed in as irany cities , nnd now thoao
devoted women are in some localities of
great cities almost as familiar to tlio
public eye as sisters of the various
Catholic orders. Thin work has l > con
carried on with success also In foreign
lands. So unexpectedly successful lias
boon this branch of church energy that
the approaching general conference will
probably consider the advisability of
establishing a pirallol order of lay
deacons to assist in the ovangoli/.iitlon
of the cities
! The charities incident to the work of
the deaconesses have also boon greatly
multiplied , and it is observed that sev
eral times as many hospitals for the sick
nnd injured have been founded and un
dewed within the quudrionniuiu a * tlio
church had established in the century
preceding.
The growth of the Epworth league Is
another interesting feature of the four
years about closing. This organization
boars n similar relation to the MothodUt
church as the Young People's Socioiy
of 'Uiritstinn Endeavor to the Protestant
churches generally and to Congregation
alism in particular. It has not been
formally and exclusively adopted as yet
but will probably bo given a place at this
mooting In the di/iclp'lno / of the dcnoml-
tlon. '
Among ether prominent matters of
congratulation nro the' founding of the
isjoelutton of jthodlst colleges , the
movement for a luional university at
Washington , the improvement nnd ex
tension of church journalism , the In-
lluoni'o of the Fiujmonical conference of
last yo'ir tow.irij'donomlnational reunion
and the cordiaUjj-olatlons existing be
tween MothodlfJijfnnd other evangelical
church organl/nUons.
Among topics which , will bo moro par
ticularly discussed with a view to do Un
ite and possibly radical legislation , will
bo the readjustment of the position and
duties of laymen in the irovernmont of
the church , mollifications of the methods
of selecting bishops , their terms of office
ami the question of solttcd dioceses , the
relations of the church to state nnd
national prohibition , and the qundrien-
nlally recurring suggestion of a reunion
of the Mothodlst Episcopal church south
with the distinct branch roprcFontcd In
this general conference.

The present congress , if tbo policy of
the majority in the hotiso prevail , will
provide for the building of only ono
cruiser of the typo of the Now York.
While this would bo practically to bring
the construction of the new navy to a
halt , yet when the vessels now building
nro completed and put into commission
the United Stiles will have a navy that
will give us fifth place among the naval
powers of the worltU In a rocjnt address -
dross Sacrotary Tracy realtod the his
tory of the rise and progress of the now
Amoricin navy , and It is a history that
is creditable to Ann.-ican skill and en
terprise , for it is to ba berne in mind
that the results have boon achieved by
our own people.
It was in 1SSI , during the administra
tion of P.-oildont Arthur , tint active
steps wans taken toward the reconstruc
tion of the ntivv. Eight ships were au
thorized during this period , all of them
to bo modern steel vessels. At the in
stance of the thensiicrotiiry of the navy ,
William H. C'li tn.llor , now a senator
from Now llimishire , tlio practice of
reconstructing the old wooden ships was
restricted by law , and thus the way was
paved for a modern navy. The work of
naval development w.is actively con
tinued by congrc-ss during the next ad
ministration , twenty-one additional
vessels being authorized , together with
the completion of five double-turrotod
monitors. Of the thirty-four vessels of
the new navy which had boon thus au
thorized only throe had been placed in
commission when the present adminis
tration came into power. Eighteen
others had been undertaken and were in
various stages of progress , while of the
remaining thirteen the actual construc
tion had not yet been begun. It is not
the least creditable fact in the hjstory
of the Harrison administration that the
work upon all these vessels is now so
well advanced that by the end of the
term of t.his administration twenty-four
ships will ho placed in commission and
all tbo remainder will bo completed
shortly thereafter.- The Fift f'first/won-t '
gross authorized the construction "of six
vessels , comprising three first class
battle Hhips and two otHho fastest and
largest cruisurs in the world , equal in
the clement of defensive strength to
three times their number of any other
ships of the now navy.
Secretary Tracy said that taking all
the vessels together they arc at least
the equal , ship for ship , both in design
and construction , of tlio modern navies
of the world. When the bhips now au
thorized slrill have boon completed"
shall have three battleships of the first
class and ono of the second class , five
reconstructed monitors , two ships for
coast and harbor defence , nineteen
cvuihors , seven gunboats and two tor
pedo boats , a total of thirty-nine ves
sels ; r.nd wo shall have obtained this
navy , created absolutely out of nothing ,
at an average annual expenditure dur
ing twelve years of less than $ (5,000,000. (
Estimating our population to have aver
aged GOOOJ,00' ) during those years the
annual cost of the now navy during this
period has amounted to 10 cents per
capita. It is a subject of profound re-
ffrot , in the opinion of the secretary of
the navy , that the naval committee did
not report in favor of moro first class
battleships , which with their accessions
form tlio main element of btronglh and
determine the fighting oJHoioncy of a
modern lleot. In the judgment of the
hccrotary the country ought to have at
leust nine b.iltlopliips.
It would manifestly bo unwise to come
to a halt in the work of constructing an
adequate navy , nnd the intelligent judg
ment of the country would not approve
the narrow spirit of economy that , would
require this to be done , particularly
when the motive is wholly political. It
is therefore to bo expected that the sen
ate will insist , upon tlio present congress
providing for the construction of moro
than a single cruiser. The country has
learned , through qtitto unexpected ox-
parlances , the Importance of being prepared -
pared for nationlil defense , and while it
would not apprdvlf n policy of rivalry
with other nalfnj ( } fpr naval auperiority ,
It , will favor such a navy as will enable
the country to lijhiiiil itself and protect
its interests whogpvcr asmiled.

creating a ne ofnoro centrally located
college or univors'lty. Omaha is lutur-
ally regarded with favor as tlio locution ,
and it is presumed a proper effort would
result in securing the institution. At
all events the number and wealth of the
Congregational church In Nebraska will
muka the institution a strong one wher
ever it may bo established , and it there
fore behooves Omaha to give the matter
intelligent attention.
TilK Union P.icilic railway compuiy

and Kock Island under their contract !
have every right on the bridge which
they would have If they actually owned
the structure , nnd tlioy are the people
to blame because Omaha shippers are
forced to pay toll on east bound business.
This being the case the two roads named
should bo made to fool that Omaha has
located the trouble and will govern herself -

things. Mr. Gcorgo took churgo ol the
osiato in accordance with the will and used
it faithfully- the dissemination of the
single-tax idea as the into Mr. Hutchms had
btipulatud.
Wbllo this may have wrought great good
to the numiin ruca at largo , it seems to have
been a little hard on the widow of the be
nevolent Mr. HuUhlns : , for It was not long
until a stress of poverty sent her to the poor-
hBUbo , This fact seems to hnvo been Drought
to the attention of Mr. Georiro , for ho has
kindly consented to take her out of the poorhouse -
house and provide her with a homo in Phila
delphia.
This is exceedingly kind of Mr. Gcorgo ,
for ho must sco that it will take a great deal
of ready cash out of his Hutchins fund for
the dissemination of the George idea ot uni
versal prosperity.
In this connection wo may state that Mrs.
Hutchins lincls it difflcult to become enthus
iastic over the single tax theory.
