When General Harrison was nomi
nated for the presidency MB intimate
acquaintances In the United States sen
ate were a unit In the opinion that no
man had ever boon nominated who could
bring to the duties of Iho high ofllco a
bettor equipment of body and mind than
ho. A man of excellent health , of
grofit physical endurance , of education ,
of natural and acquired skill in govern
ment and of acknowledged ability , ho
entered the white house made competent
to discharge the grout responsibilities
imposed upon him by an active , studious
life and an experience in the army , .it the
bur and in congress seldom enjoyed by a
president.
During the lliruo years of his admin
istration the opinions of his old sonu-
torlnl associates' have boon confirmed.
Ho has shown himself to bo a statesman
in about all the particulars Included In
the torm. Ills messages to congress
have boon dignified , cogent and patri
otic. Ills appointments have boon
wisely made. Ho has avoided scandal ,
and his judgment of men has been gen
erally indicated by the superior fitness
his appointees , from cabinet olllcors to
foreign consuls , have shown upon oc
casion ,
For the first time in the history of the
government , perhaps , has the chief
executive possessed the versatility
which enables him to assume the duties
of and direct the departments of cabinet
olllcbrs. When Secretary \Vlndom was
Htrickon President Harrison guided the
Treasury department safely through u
threatened financial crisis. When Secre
tary Blaine has been absent from his
duties the president has devoted his at
tention to the Slate department and the
world recognizes his diplomatic ability.
When the Indian troubles brolco out the
heads of the War and Interior depart
ments were surprised to discover how
accurately the president could mcasuro
the situation. The navy received his
especial attention during the Chilian
imbroglio. In short , the president is
the chief executive of the nation in fact
as well as theory. It is not in his nature
to ho a more figurehead and , therefore ,
should doutli strike down any member
of his cabinet President Harrison would
still bo able to take up the loose thread *
of administration and the work would
move on almost as if there had boon no
disaster to the chief of the uouurtmont.
Till : TKXAS ALIKA 1AXD.I II' .
Two years ago a law was enacted by
the legislature of Texas al olutoly pro
hibiting any alien from owning or hav
ing any interest in any land in the state
of Texas. This act was declared uncon-
btitutional and the legislature in the
special bcssion , which closed three
weeks ago , enacted a modified law on
the biimo subject. This law provides
that no person who is not a citizen of
the United Slates bhall acquire title to
or own any land in the state of Texas ,
excepting :
First Any alien who is or shall be
come a bonti fide inhabitant of the state
shall have the right to acquire and own
land while ho is a resident of the state
or hut. declared his intention to become
a citizen of the United States.
Second Any alien may acquire lands
or interests therein in the ordinary
course of justice and in the collection of
debts by foreclosure of mortgage.
Third All nonresident aliens who
niny hereafter acquire real estate in
Texas by devise , descent or by purchase
may hold the same for ton years , and if
u minor may hold such real estate for
ton years from the time of reaching his
or her majority.
It is made the duty of the attorney
general ard county attorneys to insti
tute proceedings against alien owners of
land in Texas who do not constitute the
excepted class , praying for the escheat
of their lands on behalf of the estate , as
in cases of persons dying without devise
thereof and having no heirs , and by
such process of law those lands are to
revert to the estate. It is provided ,
however , that the lands shall bo offered
and sold at public sale as under execu
tion and the proceeds of such sale , after
deducting the costs of such suit , shall beheld
hold for one year subject to the order of
the alien owner or his heirs , and if not
claimed within the period of one year
the money shall bo paid into the treas
ury for the Donofit of the state bchool
fund This law is much milder than
the old onO , but is liable to seriously re-
turd immigration into Texas and dolor
foreign capitalists from making invest
ments.
It is manifest that the object which
the advocates of the Texas alien land
law have sought to achieve has baen
frustrated. Their intention was to strike-
a blow at alien landlordism , out the
humorous exceptions made in favor of
alien investors and creditors practically
nullifies the exclusion of foreign land
owners. The weakest point in the now
Texas law Is that it only deals with
aliens and not with foreign corporations ,
which huvo acquired vast tracts of land
in Texas , and may without restrictions
enlarge their holdings.
TUB MAN VOH nilHlADIKH GKXnUAf , ,
Brigadier Genornl Stanley roaches the
ago of retirement Juno 1 next und in-
torobt in nnny cirolos is centered in his
successor. Much pressure is being
brought to bour upon the president in
favor of sovornl olllcors' ollglblo for the
promotion. The friends of unoh cuiidi-
dulo uro nctlvoly pulling wires , and
thorn is enough uncertainly IIB to the
president's action to mnUo'tho contest
i > siocinlly ] spirited nnd interesting. Unfortunately -
fortunately for the host good of tlio service -
vice thdso promotions are not always
determined solely upon the moriU of
the aspiring colonols. Thn precedent
Una boon sot for ignoring the relative
luioul rank of the ollloors and anpolnt-
inouts have boon frequently miido to
satitify conditions notdlrootly connected
with the military eorvico.
Among the sovorul candid.ito.s THK
HUB feels that Colonel Eugene A. Curr
of the Sixth cavalry ia most entitled to
the distinction. Ho has boon in the
regular jinny sinoo 18'KI and has por-
forino'J moit oonspit-uous and arduous
borvlco. A gallant ollloor on the frontier
both bofpro nnd slnco the rebellion , ho
litis never sought for or boon assigned to
the plousuntor posts. Hj8 especial lit-
ness for the most dlilloult of campaigns
against the Indians has kept him al
most continually , except during the ro-
bellion , facing savage foes. During the
rebellion ho was found at nil times In
the thickest of dangers , and in frontier
and rebellion service has ropontodly
boon specially honored for gallant and
meritorious services.
No man in the regular army now liv
ing has moro honestly earned the stars
of a brigadier general.
Colonel Curr Is now In command at
Port Nlobrurn , Nob. , having been trans
ferred from Fort Wingato , N. M. . to this
department during Iho last Sioux cam-
pnlgn , Ho has not boon so fortunate us
to secure detached or other duty at the
national capital and therefore can not
pull wires for himself In Washington ,
lie must bo promoted , if at all , upon his
merits. Ho is the ranking colonel of
cavalry , and is but a few days behind
the ranking infantry colonel. Ho re
tires in 1801 and therefore if ho shall bo
passed over at this time will probably
never reach the rank to whloli ho is
entitled by reason of his valuable ser
vices. Ills worthy competitors are
younger and can expect promotion later ,
The president can make no mistake in
promoting Colonel Curr. It would bo
dilllcult to overpraise so faithful and
active an olllcor , and the honor which
his friends sock for him can bo no moro
worthily bestowed. It will bo but a fit
recognition of bravery , intelligence ,
patriotism and arduous military duly.
Ilis promotion can cuuso no heart-burn
ings among follow soldiers , whatever
uin.y bo their disappointments , for they
will recognize his right to the distinc
tion.

In addition to the interstate drill
Omnhu will have as u Juno attraction
the industrial exposition of the Ne
braska Manufacturers and Consumers
association. This event will occur from
June 11 to22 , and promises to bo u phe
nomenal success. Already nearly all
the space in the Coliseum building has
been applied for and the Into comers are
curtain to take up what rein tins. Tim
interest which the manufacturers immi-
fest in their first state exhibit is a proof
that they realize its importance as a
feature of the campaign for homo indus
try.
try.One
One largo manufacturing firm in this
oily has arranged to take a largo part of
its establishment to the exposition. It
will deliver wagon loads of leather at
the doors of that building and show
every stop of the manufacture of bjots
and shoos even to the boxing thorn for
shipment. Others are to bo represent
ed by their machinery and employes
from the beginning to the end of the
exposition. These practically abandon
their downtown shops for two weeks in
order that visitors may see the processes
by which their line ol work is accom
plished. The exposition will bo a study
in mechanics and other manufacturing
processes worth a great deal to the in
dustries of the state and to the visitors.
THK UIK hopes the state press will
rally to the support of the manufactur
ers in this enterprise. They are tak
ing considerable risks in attempting an
exhibit entirely industrial. None but
actual members of * the 'association , who
make Nebraska goods and oinnloy Ne
braska citizens , are permitted to make
exhibits. It will not be u bazaar filled
with catch-penny shows and fancy
booths. It is not a money making en
terprise in tills sense of the word. It is
intended to benefit Nebraska industries
bv showing to Nebraska people what is
already manufactured in the state and
the processes of manufacture. The en-
teroriso deserves notice from the state
press and will doubtless receive proper
attention. As but u single month now
remains until the opening of the ex
hibit , it is hoped the newspapers ot the
interior will begin to arouse interest in
their several communities.
THE Smithsonian Institution and Na
tional Museum at Washington will make
an interesting exhibit at the World's
fair. Tins goes without saying , for
without in the least detracting from the
interest of those grout national purvey
ors of knowledge they could select from
their abundance enough which average
people have never scon to keep them in
wide eyed wonder or thoughtful medita
tion from the opening to the close of the
great exposition. But these public in
stitutions are not satisfied with an ordi
nary showing of the strange , useful and
curious things of the world already
gathered together. It is proposed us
ono of the specially instructive features
of their display to show the assistance
rendered to man by the various animals
and the products of the animal kingdom
used by him us food and in the arts und
Industries with the methods employed in
their preparation. This will illustrate
the methods of utilizing the hair , fur ,
feathers , scales , skins , tlcsh , bonotooth ,
horns , claws , viscera , etc. , of the various
animals.
LINCOLN will not probably present
any further protest against the pro
posed appropriation by congress of
$100,000 for the entertainment of the
national enc.unpmont of the Orand
Army of the Republic. Her citizens
and those outside the District of Colum
bia generally will agree , novortholos.1 ,
that the appropriation ami the pi-lnoiplo
are nil wrong. The fact that the Dis
trict pays half of the sum does not alter
the case. Lincoln was ready to ontoi-
tain the Grand Army at her own ox-
poiiBO and It is no credit to Washington
to bo domiindlng help from the national
government after winning the encamp
ment in ppen competition with ciilns
which cannot make demands upon the
national treasury.
CoiTNCH.MKN and citizens who are
honestly opposed to the Nebraska Cen
tral bond proposition should have the
manhood to s\y so opjnly. It ia not
honorable to pretend to favor a mousuro
and at the same time consort with its
onoinlcs and attempt to defeat its pur
poses by indirection , Mon adnilro hon

subterfuges always brood contempt for

Tin : city charter was amended some
yours ago so th U the municipal your

of this provision of law was to o-iublo

monta , so that work might bi'gin

Unhappily thnVoJult him not often boon

Ing season nriwios them to Incrousod
effort. As u rMniJlt , work which should
begin April 1 is often delayed until July
1. The present/ season Is no exception.
The mayor , in his message , urged curly
action with a Vt'ow , to beginning publl c
works at Iho uponlng of the working
season. For sbljib reason no work Is
ready and it is now proposed to delay
further by roadvbrtlslng for a part of

wrong. City business should bo pursued

Bisttor NKWMAN'S loyalty to Omaha

in introducing Chaplain McCabe to the
largo uudionco at the First Methodist
Episcopal church Monday night ho
lifted a great load from the hearts of
our people by happily emphasizing the
fact that when the general conference

dunt to vote the pill authorizing the latlor lo
appoint an army olllcor lo Iho rank of

the solo credit to Congressman Bryan of a
scheme making thu Platte a navigable
stioam. The honorable geiitloman has fnmn
and glory enough without jumping any other
man's claim. The Idea of navigating the
Pltttto originated In Pierce coiiuly during
the Grncly campaign. An ardent Gieely
orator was orating during u thundurstorm tea
a vast nudienco of one , 0:1 : the open prario ,
Irving lo convince .said audience of llio m'oal
bcnollis that boetlon of country would re
ceive at the bunds ot the CJroeloy rogimo.
The Missouri was to ho tapped at thn town
of old Niobrnra , escorted through Dry Creek
valley by a snip canal , thence into the north
fork of the Elkhorn u.to the main IClkhorn
to Iho Plutu > , into thu Missouri to thu gulf
Ports of ontrv and custom I'ouses would
spring up all along tlio line and every man in
thu Hottlomenls would got aoou fat jobs and
the commercoof the globe would bo dumped
into the broad lap of our glorious common
wealth. This would have loft Siont Citj a
