From this time forward the Nebraska
World's fair commissioners will need to
push the work they have to do with
greater vigor than has yet boon shown
in order that this state ahull have a
creditable exhibit tit Chicago. Wo
have no criticism tomako upon the com
missioners. They have doubtless done
all that it was practicable to do up to
this time. The state has bnon divided
into districts and progress has boon
made in the preliminary work ot organ
izing. There has boon something done
in the matter of arousing popular in
terest and creating a sentiment that Ne
braska must not bo outdone by other
western states in making an adequate
display of her products. In thosoi ro-
spccts the commission has perhaps done
All that could reasonably bo expected
of It ,
Everybody now sees that the appro
priation mmlo for Nebraska's exhibit
was too small. At luaat double the
amount ought to have boon provided ,
and the ncccssltv for practicing the
greatest prudence in expenditures
handicaps the work of the commission.
There are some things it Is desirable to
have done which muni remain undone
because the oxpondlturo they would in
volve cannot bo spared , and it would
not bo safe to do them und depend upon
the next legislature for an additional
appropriation. The legislature will bo
asked for moro money for this pur
pose nnd very likely will provide it , but
the commission cannot tuka this for
granted and incur pecuniary obligations
beyond the amount it is authorized to
uso. It ia unfortunate that a moro liberal
view of what was necessary did not prevail -
vail with the last legislature , but as it is ,
the World's fair commissioners must do
the best they can with the money that
has boon allowed them for proaaring an
exhibit , trusting to the next legislature
to provide moro money for carrying out
such plans as may safely bo postponed
until next year.
In any event the liberality of prlvnto
enterprise will have to bo largely do -
ponded upon to secure for Nebraska
such an exhibit as it it desirable she
should have , and undoubtedly there will
bo no risk in doing this. Many manu
facturers und some of the moro prosper
ous producers will not hobitato to con
tribute to a purpose which there is
every reason to bqjjovo will have results
highly advantageous to tlio future prog
ress and prosperity of Nebraska , and
the cities and towns of the state having
important industries might very properly -
orly provide a part of the money nec
essary to make un adequate exhibit of
such industries.
It cannot bo too strongly urged upon
our people thnt Nebraska must have
such a display at the Columbian ex
position as , will fitly illustrate the splen
did capabilities of the state , and of
which Nebraskans visiting the exposi
tion will have reason to bo proud. It
would bo bettor not to bo represented at
all than to have a cheap and inadequate
exhibit. The millions of visitors to the
World's fair will bo favorably impressed
or otherwise regarding the relative
capabilities of the states according to
the character of their displays , so that
the states which make the host showing
of their products und resources will reap
the largest rewards. It will bo the op
portunity of the next half century for
the west , and Nebraska must take the
fullest possible advantage of it.
HARRISON AND TIIK COI.OllSD MKK.
The attempt to disparage President
Harrison in the respect nnd confidence
of the colored men of the country has
fulled. It was a reflection upon the in
telligence and the gratitude of that
class of our citizens to assume that it
would not fail. The colored men who
take an interest in political affairs , ana
the number of such is largo and stead
ily increasing , watch with keen and ,
zealous interest the course of political
leaders toward their raco. They have1
the infirmities common to humanity ,
but they cannot bo deceived as to who
are their friends and who are not They
know what has boon done for them nnd
can estimate as accurately as anybody
the motives that prompted it. They
are a grateful people uud do not forgot
these who have treatou thorn fairly and
have honestly endeavored to secure
thorn justice under the laws.
When an attack was recently made on
President Harrison in the house of rep
resentatives , charging that he had not
given the colored race adequate recog
nition in public affairs , it was resented
by the ono colored member of that body.
Slnco then prominent leaders of the
colored race have expressed themselves
regarding the president , and such men
as Fred Douglass , ox-Senator BrucoCon-
gressman Choatbain and ox-Congress
man Lynch emphatically declare that
President Harrison is in every way
worthy of the confidence of the colored
voters of the country. There is but ono
colored man of prominence who has pro
claimed opposition to the president , and
that is John M. Langston of Virginia ,
but diEKntisfnction with everything
politically has long been a chronic
condition with Langston. It Is his way"
of securing attention to himself. It is
possible that ho may bo able at Min
neapolis to infect some of the colored
delegates with his disease , but there
will bo stronger men of his race there to
counteract his influence.
No man who is familiar with the pub-
He record of President Harrison will
question for u moment hit sincere solici
tude for the interests and welfare of the
colored raco. Ho has never failed on
any proper occasion to demand for them
civil and polltic.il justice , and no public
man of today has advocated their cause
as citizens , entitled to the same rights
under the law ui are accorded to whlto
citizens , in stronger or more explicit
language than has boon used by the
president So far its the matter of giv
ing recognition to the colored man in
publlo ulTulra is concerned , If thnt bo
the proper criterion by which to judge
of n president's friendly Interest in the
rneo , it can DO claimed for President
Htirrison that ho has shown moro con
sideration for the colored race than an-
'
of his predecessors.
It la obviously the purpose of the opposition -
position to the president's ronomlnatlon
to bring till the Iniliionco they can com-
mund to boar upon the colored delegates
to Minneapolis In the Interest of Borne
other candidate , but if they accomplish
anything they must find another argu
ment than is involved in thochurgothat
President Hurrlson has failed to show a
proper consideration for , lho colored
citizen ? of the country. Thtit chnrgo
has already boon overwhelmingly re
futed.
EXPOSmoff I'llfU'A HATtOXA
As the time for the oponlng of the Ne
braska state exposition * in Omiha np-
proaohos Itbpcomosmoro apparent from
day to day that the enterprise Is hap
pily conceived nnd that the plans will
bo successfully carried out. The en
thusiastic interest taken by manufac
turers in ovcry part of' the state shows
that there is no giound for the fear that
the exposition will prove to bo too much
monopolized by this city to bo repre
sentative of the enterprises and re
sources of the state at largo. In fuel it
would seem as if the exhibitors from
other towns are oven moro keenly alive
to the Importance of the exposition than
the Omaha people themselves. They
look upon it na a state institution in the
broadest sense nnd feel thnt they are as
much responsible for Its success as If
they were carrying- their business in
this city. This la the right aplrlt , jind.
as enthusiasm is always contagious U Is
to bo expected that every town in Ne
braska will bo adequately represented.
Thia will not only promote a healthy' '
rivalry on the part of the exhibitors but
will also stimulate local pride among the
people and insure a great popular inter
est throughout the Btato which will re
sult in n largo attendance at the ex
position.
As an educator the exposition will
oxe.t a wide influence. It will give the
people of every section of the state an :
opportunity to learn what Nebraska is
doing upon the line of industrial trade
and progress and will open their eyes to
the many advantages to bo derived by
them from the development of the inter
ests represented. Everything that tond-\
to such development also tends to the
advancement of other interests , and
every man who attends the exposition
and thus lends oncour.ijromont to manu
facturing and trade enterprises in Ne
braska will himself bo an indirect
gainer. The wide interest already man
ifested shows thnt this view of the case
prevails throughout the Btato.
To Omaha people , many of whom nro
totally unacquainted with the progress
that is being made by other towns , the
exposition promises to bo a revelation.
It will prove to them that the spirit of
enterprise is as wide as the state and
that manufacturing and trade interests
are taking wonderful strides in every
town where they have been established.
Prompt and vigorous work in arrang
ing the exhibits iasuggcBted , and of this
there is need. Care should bo taken
that the opening day shall not find some
of the exhibitors unprepared. The im
portance of having the exposition open
in perfect order will bo appreciated when
it is remembered that the lirst iraprob-
slons of visitors will have an influence
upon the success of the undertaking.
TKADK AXD LHQISLATION.
The rapidity with which tradomnd
commercial organizations have spread
in the United States during the past
few years may bo taken as an evidence
that they are serving the various pur
poses for which they are designed.
Not the least important of the objects of
boards of trade , chambers of commerce
and kindred bodies made up of business
men is to influence legislation in the
interest of the people at largo , and the
results which they have achieved in
this direction have boon and will doubt
less continue to be uniformly beneficial
to the musses. A resistor of the com
mercial organizations of the whole
country is kept by the Now York Board
of Trade nnd Transportation. It shows
that there are 1,000 bodies of this class
now in existence in the various states
and torritorioi Throe years ago there
were , according to the report of the
bureau of'statistics , only 500 organiza
tions of this character. That their
number should have moro than
doubled in so short n time shows
that their advantages have boon
widely recognized. Now YTork heads
the list of states with 150 , Massa
chusetts has eighty-nine , Pennsylvania
'
eighty-two , Ohio sixty-eight , and other
states follow-as a rule in the order of
their population and the extent of their
commercial interests. Nebraska is
credited with only ton , but there are
nineteen states and territories that have
a smaller number.
Although the chief function of these
organizations is the promotion of com
mercial prosperity in the communities
whore they exist , their influence is
often exerted in behalf of legislation in
which the people at largo have a com-
iron interest. They are entirely com
posed of men whoso interests are inter
dependent and who nro necessarily so
licitous for the common welfare because
their own prosperity is staked upon that-
of the general public. Trade organiza
tions are composed of elements so di
verse that they could not combine In the
interest of class legislation inimical to
the common welfare If they should try
to do so. Hence it follows that the
recommendations of trade organizations
have great wolght in congress and in
the various st-ilo legislatures , and as
their number grows this wholesome in
fluence will bo extended. This is an era
of commercial activity In which busi
ness interests predominate ever all
others , and every agency that helps
business helps the people nt largo.
But a chamber of commerce or u board
of trade is not ulono influential in behalf
of legislation directly related to mate
rial prosperity. Such organizations
may and often do bring their power to
boar upon the makers of laws in the in
terest of the publlo welfare in directions
wholly unrelated to commercial affairs ,
nnd doubtless their usefulness will bo
yet further extended as their represent
ative character becomes moro gonorully
recognized. The legislator who is guided
in his action by the wishes of such or
gan IzatloiiB cannot go far astray.
TIIK more the Nebraska Central pro
ject ia discussed the moro it will com
mand itself to the support of every voter
whoso first concern is for the progress
and prosperity of Omaha. There 1ms
not been a single valid argument ad
vanced in opposition to this enterprise ,
und having moat carefully studied It
from every point bTx-iOW Tlin DEK does
not hosllalo to s 'yj.liat no argument of
nny force or Validity c.xn bo urged
against it. ThWdjbct contemplates

that , the community lukcs no risk what

fairer propo3ltiou , xar > the company has

it will fall. The nVjpplo are giving the

oct Is steadily growing In popular favor.

Tlin question of licensing gambling Is
not ono which should have boon deter
mined on the bcoro of expediency , or
ivitli the idea of seeing how such n ,
plnu would work. Gambling is declared
by the law to bo a. cr mo , and it is there
by excluded from any wuch recognition
as it receives under the licensing ordi
nance. The plain duty of the authori
ties la to suppress gambling instead of
countenancing and tolerating it , and the
assumption that its supurossion is im
practicable cannot bo allowed to excuse
or justify the ether courso. That which
the law makes a crihio.must in all cir
cumstances bo treated as a crime. A
mistulco has bean-made , but it is not
irremediable , nnd.lt ia incumbent upon all
good citizens to oxdrt their influence to
secure remedial Action as promptly as
possible. i,1

WASHIXOTOX Utnunu or THE BBE , )
51U FouiiTiiKNTii STIIRKT , v
WASHINGTON- . O. , Juno 1. )
A. very black eye was glvon the nntl-llar
rUnu tnovomont today by Mr. Blatno , wlio
sntu Iti n private conversation with a State
department oftlolal , wtion told thnt tun Mln-
ncnpolls convention would nominate the
secretniy otstnto ! "No sir , tlio convention
will do DO such thlnp. I will not bo the
uotnlnoo or that convention. "
Ho said these words with so much nosttlvc-
nosa thnt It impressed the under onicor vor.v
much mid ho naked why ho was so sure of It ,
" 1 can only say , " continued Mr. . J3laino ,
"thai my name will not no before the AIluuo-
npolls couvrntloii and 1 will not DO Its
nomlnco. "
This statement , mode onrly this morning ,
when taken with another incident , bus
greatly depressed the rule or ruin urowd.
This nfuirnoon Senator Quay called upon
the secretary of stntp with the avowed pur
pose , It Is stated , of either securing n line or
two in Mr. Dlalno's own. handwriting to the
effect thtttlf nominated under coruiln con
ditions ho would not refuse , the words to bo
used only under stipulated conditions in the
convention , or n positive verbal stntoinent to
the Pennsylvania senator thai under no con
ditions would ho ( Mr. Blatno ) deollno the
nomination before action was tmton by the
convention. If neither ol these statements ,
written or verbal , could bo secured H was
the purpose of the nntl-Harrison men to drop
Mr. maine and try to defeat the president's
ronoroinatlon bv placing a number of "fa
vorite sons" before the convention and with
holding n majority vote from the president.
'louiRbt these who hnvo talked to Senator
Quar say no has unquestionably failed in his
last mission.
Illnlno TulIt Subsiding.
The Dlalno talk for sorao reason has sud
denly subsided , and the anils are rushing
AlRor , Sherman , Allison and a half dozen
other prominent names. But the name of
Dtamo will bo played for what It is worth ,
for the palpable purpose now of using It as
an Instrument against the president. There
liavo boon all sorts of reports circulated at
the capital today against the administra
tion's strength. Ono was that Senator
Sawyer of Wisconsin , who is one of the most
Influential republicans in the west , had said ,
in view of the prominence of the Blaine boom
and the opposition to the president , the
safety of the party lay In a third man and
that some other republican must bo the
nomlnco.
Senator Sawyer said of this ronort to Tun
BEE correspondent on the floor of the senate
this afternoon : "I have not only nor.glvon ut
terance to such thought but I have not enter
tained it. What I have said and what I have
to say is that tbo safety of the party lies ID
the president's renomlnatlon , and that under
tne existing conditions a third or now name
would bo very inadvisable. I am sure the
president should and will bo ronomtnalod. "
Another campaign Ho was circulated about
the intentions of the California delegates to
Minneapolis. It was stated that they would
all vote for Blaine , whether ho was placed
before the convention or not. Senator Pel-
ton , one of the dologatos-at-lnrpo from Cali
fornia , said to Tun BCK correspondent : "I
believe every one of our delegation will sup
port Harrison. "
A number of prominent Harrison men were
reported to havo" como over to the anti
side when in fact it was nil raise. In ono in
stance a dologato-at-largo who has a wiilo
influence , was posted in n dissatch as being
opposed to tbo president when in point of the
fact ho intends to second tbo president's
nomination. A report which can bo relied
upon curno down Ironi Now York today to
the olTcct that some representative labor men
will visit Minneapolis and call attention to
the fact that President Harrison has taken
morn interest in and done more for labor
than any man who has occupied the whlto
Uouso in very many years , indeed , if over ,
mid that if organized labor is to bo depended
upon the president should bo ronominatcd.
I'rulgoil Harrison's Itcconl.
Last night the district committee of tha
associated leaders of Now York , represent
ing several organizations with 8,000 mem
bers , adopted resolutions praising the record
of President Harrison , demanding his re-
nomination at Minneapolis and pledging "tbo
working and farmer vote in the United
States to him as the candidate of the republi
can party. " A delegation of six was ap
pointed to present the resolutions to the
Minneapolis convention. There will bo
present at the convention representatives
from all of the great labor organizations of
the country , all demanding the rcnomination
of the president.
Thomas Wolf of this city will be among
those and show what the president has done
for his nation , the Germans and other
adopted bloods In this country. General
Edgar Alien , General Cronor and Colonel
Brady , all unions the most prominent dele
gates from Virginia , are In the city on their
wny to Minneapolis , and say more thnn hnll
of the old dominion delegates will stand by
