wljat has boon said over and over ngnin

regarding the merits of tlio exposition.
It is by far the finest Industrial exhibit
over hold in this section of the country.
Considered simply iw suoh it affords in
teresting and instructive entertainment ,
but it has a value beyond this ,
II Is n great object lesson in what
Nebraska is doing industrially , and
shows thai our homo manufacturers are
prepared to supply the demands of our
own people for many articles whiuh nro
in all respects as meritorious as similar
articles made elsewhere and can bo sold
as cheaply. It is important to have
learned this , because tlio knowledge will
lead Nebraska people to buy moro largely
of Nebraska goods , and the elTcct of tills
will bo to increase the manufacturing
industries of tlio stnto. In tills way the
enterprising manufacturer * ) who make
exhibits wH be amply repaid for tholr
tabor and outlay. Another excellent
Influence which the exposition has had
is in creating a batter sentiment in
quarters where a change of fooling , waste
to bo dosjred.
Omaha stands bettor with the atato at

tage of all concerned. Tho"exposition ,
it is now understood , will oloao next
Wednesday night , and thoao who have
not visited It should Una"an opportunity
to do so. It will afford thorn pleasure
and the profit , that comes of acquiring
useful information , and bosldos they
will have the gratification of knowing
that they have helped to make a popu

mnnufacturliig industries of Nebraska.
A MAIIKK'S I'OH Tint \rURLD. \
At the annual conference "of the
British Iron Trade association hold in
London on Wednesday the World's fall-
was discussed from the point of view
of the British iron and stool industries ,
which are in many rosnocw the most
important industries in Great Britain.
The president of the association declared -
clarod that this exposition woulu bo the
greatest that h.ul over marked the
progress of nations. Ho said thai Brit
ish manufacturers ought not to con
sider the markets of the United States
only , but also the future of the iron
trade of Great Britain and its relation
with North and South America. An
drew Carnegie , the well known Ameri
can iron nnd stool manufacturer , said
that the United States was the best
customer of Great Britain nnd was
likely so to remain. IIo declared that
it was only to Araorica that England
could look for an increase in her trade ,
which was already at a standstill and
declining with some countries.
It would bo vary strange if English iron
manufacturers should talto any other
view of this subjcQt. There certainly
is no other nation on earth that , is newer
or promises to bo in the future capable
of providing so largo a market for iron
and stool as the United States. Our own
facilities in this line are being rapidly
developed , but the fact that wo can
manufacture iron and stool does not-
necessarily shut out Great Britain. The
American protective system was never
intended to produce that result. It was
designed to protect the American wo.'k-
ingman and bis employer by providing
against competition upon the basis of
ruinously low wages and unprofitable
margins pf profit to the manufacturer.
If Great Britain can come into our mar
ket upon the terms which wo offer there
can bo no reasonable objection from any
sourco.
Every patriotic American should bo
prepared to welcome exhibitions from
foreign lands at the World's fair. Under
the law that fosters homo industries
there is a murkot for the whole world
in this country.
NKIIHASKA.
A circular lias boon issued by P. A.
Barton , superintendent of the educa
tional department of Nebraska's World's
fair exhibit , In which the hearty co
operation of all interested in the schools
la solicited , to the end that Nebraska
may make a good showing in this ro-
spool. This is not only a great Agricul
tural state , but it is also a common
wealth in whloh education Is encouraged
and festered to suoh an extent that its
percentage of llllUmioy is smaller than
thai of any other in Iho union. Il ahould
bo remembered that a reputation for
having good schools nnd an appreciation
of the benefits of education are of grout
value to any state , and particularly so
to a comparatively now state whoso
future depends greatly upon the advan
tages ollored to those who are seeking
homes in tire west.
Il is a common belief in Iho cast thai
the now stales look upon mitorialad-
vantages , the opportunities for nuking
money , as being of the Ural importance ,
and therefore it is noi strange that
eastern puoplo who oomo bora are sur
prised by the evidences of education and
culture which moot them on every hand.
Something may bo done by moans of
the educational department of our state
exhibit at the World's fair to corroct.tho
impression that education and an appre
ciation of the value of good sahools are
iionlinod to the older states. It is not
true. Material prosperity In Nebraska
goes hand in lund with soulal progrosa.
The state is proud of her schools and
all friends of education will do what lies
in tholr power to Insure the success of.
the educational department of our
exhibit at Chicago next year.

All sorts of nnthols have boon adopt
ed by religious bodies to force noun to
the minds of the wicked the Import
ance of chimglntholr ways of life , but
the Salvation Army In California has
thought of tfoni'ithlng now in the way of
advertising. It Iws organized a navnlry
brlgado which will sweep through the
couir.ry In regular military fashion
on spirited bronchos. Cavalry saddles
havo'booti purchased for the mon and
will bo sot off with rod-braided saddle
cloths. The uniforms will bo white
cavalry fatigue hats , loose rod blouses
and cavalry boots wltlflong spurs. The
loading riders will carry lances and long
ponnonsi These plcturoaquo troopers
will camp along tholr route In regular
army style and will ponotrt\to the moun
tain and desert parts of the state in pur *
milt of souls. The cooking for the sol
diers will bo done by a Chinese convert ,
Lieutenant Fong Sco.
This seems very absurd at first glance ,
but after all It Is in line with the
methods which this peculiar religious
body has pursued in the streets of every'
city in this country and in many portions
tions of Kuropo with some measure of
success. Hollglous work is conducted
on practical lines in thcso days. The
Salvation Army soldiers are not the
only ones that advertise as a means of
attracting itttontlon to the bonollts of
repentance and right living. Son n-
tlonnllsm provalls in a greater or loss ,
degree among all bodies whoso mission
is "to present the truths In which they
bollovo. It pays to ndvortlso , nnd it ,
may bo said In no spirit of irrovoronco' '
that advertising of one kind or another ,
according to the character and intelli
gence of the people before whom it is
presented , will bo found useful as n
moans of converting Iho wlokod in all
communltlos. But the Salvation Army
of California seems to have outstripped
all competitors in this dlroction.
A ( illOUNDbKSS HOl'K.
These who based tholr hopes of demo
cratic success in the coming campaign
upon the prospect of republican defec
tion , resulting from the rivalry at Min
neapolis , should now begin to see that
such hopes wore groundless. Prom all
parts of the country come reports of the
snllsfaollon with which the ronomlnation
of President Harrison is received by the
republican masses , and those who op
posed his ronomlnation are emphatic in
their statement that the division in lha
convention ended when the choice of the
majority was made known. The fooling
there manifested was never intended to
extend into the campaign , and the fol
lowers of Mr. Blaine are prepared to
glvo an earnest and effective support to
the nominee of tholr party. It would bo
absurd to assume that they would do
otherwise. Whatever tholr devotion to
the man of their choice may have boon ,
it never obscured their purpose to pro-
mole Iho successor Ihe republican parly
and to exert ihomsolves in behalf of its
principles and its candidates. .
It is natural Dial Iho democrats should
make as much as possible of Iho rivalry
which they are pleased to call a bitter
war of extormlnallon. They need all
Iho encouragement they can got from
suoh a view. But they forgol that a
parly lhal has principles and purposes
10 fight for is not so easily disturbed by
a division upon candidates as ono that
has no higher motive than a lust for
power. Suoh n division in a serious
mntlor when il occurs in the democratic
ranks.bocauso the members of that party
are not hold together by the bond of a
common purpose to promote groal pub
lic inlorosls. Palriotistn has its uses in
the contests of peace as well as in those
of war , and the political organization
lhal is actuated by palrlolio molivos al
ways has Iho advantage. Republican
approval of the ronominallon of iho
president will bo unanimous al Iho polls.
11 could nol bo otherwise in view of the
character of the nomlnoo , the splendid
record of his administration and the
lively interest which all republicans
fool In the continuance of the bonolicont
policy which is doing nnd promises tj dose
so much for the country.
AMERICAN AND VORKIUlf SCHOOLS.
At a mooting of oducalora roconlly
hold in Hnrlford , Conn. , President
Eliot of Harvard university made an address -
dross , in which ho said : "Wo nro all
wrong in supposing that wo have the
best school system in the world. There
is not a country In the north of Europe
which hns not a bettor system. The
Immigrants who come to our shores
from abroad will bo found to have a far
bettor school training in what arc denominated -
nominated the common branches than
the average of Iho rural population of
this country. In democratic schools wo
close tlio pate to the scholar in all the
interesting studios after the ago of 13. "
This utterance of the Harvard president
hr.s boon sharply criticised , but thought
ful people will not bo too ready to as
sume , with some of his criilcs , lhal hla
statements are allogothor preposterous.
Il may bo granted that they are some
what radical , but it cannot bo said that
they are wholly unwarranted. Few
Americans will bo.willing to concede
thai Ihe school system of this country Is
really inferior to iho sysloniR of all the
countries in the north of Europe , but
discreet Americans will not claim that
wo can learn noth'ing from the school
systems of northarn Europe.
The fact is lhat during llio last quar
ter of a century vot-y great educational
progress has boon made In Europe , and
whiletlio public school system of the
United States has also advanced , it Is
questionable whether it has kept paeo
with the progress of Iho people in other
respects. The suhool system of Germany
has for a generation boon regarded with
the highest favor by educators , who
frankly concede lhal some of the methods
of thai system are superior to ours and
would bo an advantage to our schools if
adopted hero. A writer in ono of the
magay.lnos , who ImiJ made n careful
study of the German system , rocor.tly
pointed out some of the more important
features in which ho regarded it as very
much hotter than the American system ,
und while opinions may differ as to this ,
it must bo acknowledged that the Ger
mans have sliown great wisdom in or
ganizing tholr shool system. Marked
progress has also boon made in Great
Britain within a few years. The schools
are now optm to every boy and girl in
the kingdom and there is a compulsory
educational law which is very rigidly
unforced. In other European countries
the stanuard of popular education has
boon very materially elevated within the
period of a generation.
The example of thu United States has
undoubtedly had a crreat deal to do with
stimulating educational progress und
improvement abroad , nnd it is doubtless
true thai twenty-live yoara ago the pub
lic school system of this country was
unequalled , oxucpt , puthaps , by that of
Gormany. Nowjl'lMro are other countrlw
of Europe fram , y'uoh ' ) wo might learn
something regarding educational meth
ods. The Am'oHcan people are justly
proud of their1 'jiubllo schools. They
very properly I'AgViPd them as the bul
wark of rupulu can Institutions , to bo
sacredly maintained In tholr Integrity
and protected ac Ujjst every onoronoh-
mont or innovation thai might impair
thnlr character" 'and usefulness. But
their Improvements'still possible , and
it would bo most'unwlso to wholly disre
gard the oxamnlb'&t other counlrlos. It
is a mistake to asJujno.thal bocvuao Eu

matter they have'learned nothing that

AllTRSIAN n'KlLS iff A'KllRASKA ,
The artesian well as a source of water
supply for purposes of irrigation has/
commanded loss attention among the'
farmers of Nobraska-thaii it-has received
from those of many other states , but
there are nevertheless some localities in
this state In which the experiment has
boon tried with varying degrees of suc
cess.
In Codnr , Dlxon , Holt and Knox coun
ties there are numerous artesian wells
that have boon put down ohlolly for. the
purpose of obtaining water for houao-
Jiold purposes and for stock , but it does
not. appear that they yield a sulllclont
supply to warrant the farmer In
attempting to irrigate his fields by this
moans. A bulletin from the census
department dovolod to this subject ,
glvos the following figures for Ne
braska : Total number of wells , 91 ;
average depth , 247 foot ; average
cost per well , $173 ; average discharge ,
13 gallons per minute ; number used in
irrigation , 7 ; total nroa irrigated , 7
acres. It will bo soon that the flow of
water from thcso wells is small. .In
California , where artesian wells nro
extensively employed for irrigation , the
average discharge is 104 gallons per
minute. In Knox county , nl the Santee
agency , a well has been drilled to the
depth of G01 foot , at a cost of 81,500 ,
and yields only six gallons per minute.
At Beatrice n well has boon put down
1,200 foot without success. In the
vicinity of Omaha not much has boon
done in this direction , but as nearly all
the wells lhal have been drilled near
Iho Missouri river have boon more or
loss successful il is reasonable lo sup
pose lhal llioy xvould equally so here.
Ono is now bcing drilled in Hanscom
park in Ihis city , which i-j expected to
yield a supply sulllciont for park pur
poses. Bui Ihora Acorns to bo no cer
tainty of obtaining .good water by this
moans in this locality , for there are
several wolla hf Otoo and Nomaha
counties from wliich"saU , water flows.
As a moans of obtaining water for
irrigation the ai-tc slan well does not
promise to bo successful in Nebraska ,
However , it is nbt b condition of 'suc
cessful farming 'ifi.jth ' arBtato that there
'
should bo facilities o't any kind for irri
gation , and that-'la where the Nebraska ,
agriculturists h'avo \ the advantage of

A TROUDtifiti'dtifi QUESTION.
The falo of Grover Clovolaild at Chicago
cage will depend entirely upon a con
census of opinion among the delegates as
to his ability to carry the state of Now
York. If a majority believe that ho
cannot got the olootoral vote of this
pivotal stale ho will bo casl aside and
will never again bo a conspicuous figure
in American polilics. II is of Iho ulraosl
importance lo him lhal every possible
proof of his slrongth in the Empire state
should bo placed boforn the delegates ,
and it may therefore bo assumed that
the arguments which his supporters nro
daily offering upon this subject are the
strongest lhat they can produce.
What are thos'd' arguments ? They
may bo all narrowed down.to the simple
statement that the democracy of Now
York is united and will stand by the
nominee of the party. Perfect unity
there must bo if Mr. Cleveland is to
carry the state , and therefore his friends
perceive that unless they can prove
that this indispensable cooperation -
oration of every element is assured and
wholly beyond question Iholr case must
fall to Iho ground. Upon what do they
base their belief that tiio parly is united
'
in Now York ? Why , upon 'no bettor
evidence than the declaration of the
IIlll delegates that they will support
the nominee , whoever ho may bo.
Under ordinary circumstances this
might bo admlss iblo evidence , but as
matters stand It is not * The scathing
denunciation lhal has boon heaped upon
Iho Hill machine nnd upon Tammany
methods generally by the Cleveland
faction , togolhor with the fact that the

In his recent very able spoooh in the
United Suites senate against the free
coinage of silver , Senator Sherman a ild :
"This very throat of the free coinage of
silver , in my judgment , is doing more
now to disturb the business of our coun
try than anything else. It Is caused by
the very possibility thai we shall un
dertake this more than herculean task. "
Uoprosontatlvo Hartor of Ohio , an untl-
Tfroo silver democrat , said in nu address
n few days ago that ho thought the un
rest and uncertainty , the doubts and
fears as to what will bo done with the
standard of value in the United States ,
the solo inlluonco which stands between
us and the highest condition of prosperity
ity- and the largest measure of material
development the country has had In a
cenoraliOn. The fear , said Mr. Jlnrtor ,
that wo shall change from the gold
standard to a silver ono Is the direct
cause of our present commercial nnd
financial disorder.
There can bo no doubt about the cor
rectness of these views as to the ofTcol
upon enterprises of all kinds of the agi
tation for the free coinage of silver. It
will bS admitted by all intelligent men
engaged in financial nnd commercial
affairs. Whllo such mon fool that there
is security against suoh a change so long
in the republican party is in control
of the executive branch of the govern
ment' , they cannot bo certain What
might happen in the event of a chancre
of administration with the congress in
{ control of the advocates of free silver.
*
Investments cannot well bo made sub
ject to political contingonclosnnd therefore -
fore capital is not soaking now enter
prises , nor troing very largely into old
ones. There is undoubtedly much
exaggeration regarding commercial
depression , but the accumulation of
idle capital at the financial centers is
evidence of moro than ordinary con
servatism , and there is no explanation
.of this moro probable than the uncer
tainty as to what will be done with the
standard of valuo.
Tlio r jmovitl of this feeling of Insocur-
ily for the future can bo effectively ac
complished only by re-electing a repub
lican president nnd choosing n republi
can congress. If Ihls bo done the coun
try will bo safe from the danger of free
silver coinage for at least another four
years , and with thai assured it is not to
bo doubted that there would ensue an
era of unexampled business aotlvily and
prosperity. In the meantime , whatever
now demands might arise respecting the
currency the republican party could bo
safely trusted to moot with the wisdom
and prudence which have characterized
its treatment of all financial questions in
the past. .

Mr. Daltour , Iho government loader , hn *
formnllv announced that the prosonl parlia
ment will bo dissolved between Juno 19 and
83. There U nn unwritten law of Kngltsh
politics which provides that n parliament
must bo dissolved wlionuvor the government
has had notice served upon It , by Its detent
upon ono of Its own grc.it measures , that lU
policy Is no longer In harmony wllh that ot n
majority of the people. The present dissolu
tion Is the sequence ot compromise. The
legal tenure ot the present parliament will
not expire until 1SW , whan It would have
lived out Us full term ot scvon years , It boln , ?
now ninon ? the long-lived British purlin-
rnonts. The compromise vvns based on the
offer ot the onpusltlon to assist the govern
ment In carrying through all necessary meas
ures otn nonpartlsan character. The min
istry have nbtindoncd tlioir chief bill of the
session , that providing locul government for
Ireland , but has expressed Its determination
to proceed with the next most Important
ono , thn Irish oJncntlomU bill , This the
Irish members have glvon nollco they will
oppose , first , last nnd all the ttmo/ The
main Issue of tbo contest will bo whether or
nut Ireland shall have her own separate par
liament and practical Indopoudonco ot
% gland. A llttio while ago there
wns llttio doubl that thU qiio-i-
tlon , If submitted to the people of England ,
ScotlanU , Ireland nndVntt > , would be
answered by them in the afllrnnllvo , but re
cently the Ulster folk huvo pi-otoitod against
nu Independent , separata Irish government
upon the ground that they , a protostnnt
minority , would bo ruled by n Catholic ma
jority. Thus , once moro , the unfortunate
sectarian issue hai nrlson to divide Ireland
and glvo malarial aid nnd comfort to her foes.
Lord Salisbury has seized upon tbo protest
of the Ulster people n a xvannon n atnst the
homo rulers and tins , by most intemperate
speech , succeeded In winning good ninny
nonconformlsl voters to hla sido. Not only
are tbo north a ml'.south of Irolnutl contend
ing angrily about thU manor , bin the Par-
nollitoa nnd McUarthvllcs nro up In arms
against each other , putting oppoUtlnn candi
dates in the saino Holds , thus dividing tholr
forces and givlug tholr opponents cluuicoi of
victory.

U rim humor lurks In Prlnco nismnrcit's '

hi his opinion , there can bo no reconciliation ,
for I've reasons llm , as ho bluntly con
fesses , because tbo emperor wouli uot take
him bnolc on any terms , and second , because
no more farcical lloumhof ollvo branches can
ever atone for tUo kaiser's shabby treat-
inuntof his country's servant. In other words ,
Prlnco Bismarck proposes to bo sued to
for pardon or ho will die unforgiving , Unlike -
like ICIng Louis in Lytton's play , the young
emperor has not discovered that the loss of u
tnod ofllcor embarrasses his administration.
This of course does not Imply that the want
of an experienced guide is not constantly
visible In the conduct of the stato. The
kaiser , to do him justice , possesses many of
tbo characteristics of successful tdngshlp ,
considered from liismarck's own point of
vtow , and In replacing Bismarck with Caprivl
ho merely applied to his own case a practice
Hint had constantly been directed from the
library at Frloderichsruho. Ho Is as little
likely as Iho ox-chancellor to initiate a policy
or conciliation , preferring rather to gain wis
dom through his own mistuites , The situa
tion Is full of interest for the two chief actors.

Hoyal marriages have ceased to have much
moro than a sentimental Imnortanco in mod
ern European politics. King Christian of
Denmark 1ms greatly Improved the position
of bis family , the stability of his throne und
the Importance of his kingdom by marrying
ono daughter to the heir apparent of Eng
land , and tbo other to the heir apparent
of Kussla. But the marriage of Alfonso XII.
to nn Austrian princess bus had no appte-
clablo effect on Spanish ultluncos , nnd the
marrlago of King Uoorgo of Greece to
Iho sister of tbo cmporor of Ciormany
so llttio altcrod paramount Russian in-
tluonco at Athens that in n low months
the now qucou loft the communion of her
fathers and Joined the Greek church. Now
and then a match like that of King Cbarlos
of Portugal to the daughter ot Iho count of
Paris , ono of the richest men of Europe , adds
the revenues ot a huge dowry to the slender
civil llsl of a bankrupt treasury. More than
ono German princeling in the last 100 years
has owed his sunport to an English dowry.
But in general , royal marriages , like that
between the duke of Edinburgh to the
Grand Duchess Marie of Kussla , the only
daughter of Alexander II. , nro of absolutely
no influence .on affairs or effect on puhlin
policy. The approaching morringo Just
announced between the daughter of this p lr
nnd Prlnco 1'Vrdlnnnd , the nephew nnd hMr
npparont of King Uharlos of Houmnnln , may
easily , even In these tlnys , prove to bo of
nn importance rarely accorded to
royal nlllimcoi. It promises th
prospective supremacy of Knpllsh policy In
Uouninnla. Valuable personal relations with
the court ot St. Petersburg nro , It Is true ,
secured by n marriage whoso offspring will
bo the great grandchild of n Russian czbri
but the real weight nnd oftcct of the now
nlllnnoo will ho In Its recognition of the
value of the policy by which King Charles
has sought to innko Uoumania n part ot the
league of central Kuropo. LUtlo n * royal
marriages can gonorallynccompHsii , this will
bo n porcopllolo additional cuook to the U'la-
slnn ndvanuo nciO < s tlio Danube , which onoh
ycnr seems loss probable.
The Landing has Just destroyed , so far as
Prussia Is concerned , oho of the last monit-
inoiils ( if tlio historical connection of the Her
man omplro ot today wllh the holy Roman
omplroof old. Whan iho treaty of'lomi , \

secured to thorn immunity for tliomsclvpj
and their holw from parsonnl taxation as n
consolation for iho IOIH ot quast-soverolgn
rights. Special laws , royal ordinances , and
conventions hnvo from tune to time mo-
dllled or abolished thoao privileges. Wlion
tbo Income tax bill was introduced last year
It became necessary to deal once nnd for nil
with what was tolt to bo an nnnohronlsm.
The bill provided for the nbolltion of such
privileges upon payment by ibo stnto of com.
ponsntlon , and In fullllmentot this under
taking the eovornmont this yunr Introduced
a bill flying the sum to bo paid at thirteen

payment of any compensation , but the third
rundlngof the hilt was passed by n largo

cated strongly tbo opening of the British

sympathy with tbo distrust felt of nuy
notion which would Increase the number
of persons obliged to labor on Sunday , and
admitted the objections of tbo artisan to any
stop which might tend to diminish tbu foci-

that tbo small tradoamnn , iho Ill-paid clerks
and others of that class , whoso homes nra
