Some one ought to Invent a device to enable the sultan to know his own mind and to carry out his Intentions when he has once decided what Is best to lie done. If this thlnp keeps on much longer people will go from all parts of tin- world to the Hlaek sea to witness the International naval evolutions In prog ress there. The hearing of the Slate Hoard of Transportation on the question of depot facilities for Onialin has been post poned , but the agitation for the new metropolitan union passenger station keeps right on. Nothing but the dread of being once moro without visible means of employ ment could have Induced Mr. .lacobsen to claim an election when his own Judges and clerks , with all their good Intentions , didn't succeed In counting him In. It will take the seventh son of a sev enth son to explain how Ames received over 21,000 votes as democratic candi date for regent of Hie Nebraska State university while no other democratic candidate for regent secured more than 17,800 votes. Secretary Iloko Smith wants to elimi nate politics from the management of Indian affairs and to conduct the busi ness of the different Indian reservations upon strictly business principles. Very good. 15ut It has taken lloke three years to discover this. The school board finances are at the present moment In worse siiape than they have ever been. Yet the hoard continues to pour money into fads and frills regardless of the Inevitable cense quences. The demand for radical re trenchment must IMS met , and the sooner the better. Kx-Coiigi'ossiimn Itland lintl to give up a free silver lecture that had boon scheduled In a Georgia town because only one person could lie Induced to buy a ticket In advance. And yet Mr. Itland and his free silver associates continue lo insist that the demand for free coinage is steadily increasing. The Jackson's Hole episode Is reviewed ii viewed by the report of the secretary of war and again by the report of the secretary of the Interior. Now , let the governors of Wyoming and Idaho re- vlow It lu their next legislative mes sages and the affair at Jackson's Hole will have attained Its place In history. A local committee of working men Is to wait upon ex-Congressman Itryan to request him lo deliver an address upon free silver from a non-partisan stand- "point. Mr. I try an has attempted to make loyalty to the free silver cause the test of party fealty. How , then , can ho talk on this subject from a non-parti- KMII standpoint ? The State Irrigation convention , which meetH at Sidney DoL-omlu-r 18 Is the next great convention which Ne braska will entertain.

The Slate Irrigation congress will help to push it still further along. Things have come to a pretty pass when the liability of a railroad company - pany to damages for Injury of passen gers cuts a llgure in the prosecution and conviction of a man charged with train wrecking.

A marked Improvement In tlie inonilo of the army Id noted nnd altogether our sinnll , though ample , force of regular * Is shown to lie In n highly satisfactory condition. Tlio seerelary renews his recommenda tion of hist yenr regarding tlio adoption of the three-linttallun formation , which lie'says Is the most essential need of the nrmy. this formation having I't'on adopted liy the armies of every other civilized nation. As there Is no differ- cneo of opinion among military men re- pirdltiK the desirability of this chniw and as It would Involve but little addi tional expenditure there appears lo he no Rood reason why conpre.ss should not authorize It.Vhlle public sentiment Is not In favor of any considerably Incretiso In the numerical streujjih of the jinny It will certainly approve what ever shall ho found necessary to In crease the ellleleney of the force we have and it will not be questioned thnt we i otiKht to keep paee with other civilized nations In the adoption of advanced military methods. It Is not unite lo otir credit as a progressive people that Iho line of the army has inirterK m % no ma terial change since the close of the civil war , thirty years iifo , while durhiK this period every large foreign army has been completely reorganized. To the general public the most inter- L'stln ; : part of the report of the secretary of war Is that relating to sencoast de fenses. The comprehensive plan ot de fensive works devised nine years apt contemplated an expenditure of some thing over $1)7,000,000 ) by the end of the present year , which would nave given a very complete- system of defenses , but there has been expended during this period only a little over * 10,000,000 , a rate which , as Secretary Lament points out , will require twenty-two years more to supply the armament at eighteen im portant ports and seventy years to com plete the works for putting the arma ment In position. The probability Is that even the slow progress that has been made In this most important work cannot be maintained , at least for years to come , and the prospect of having an adequate system of seacoast defenses within a generation Is certainly not bright. The secretary of war says that the amount required for the eighteen posts is about .fS'.OOO.OOO and the entire work can be completed within ten years , but the problem is where the money Is to be obtained , except by borrowing , for tills purpose. It Is not likely that the incoming congress will make a large ipproprlatlon for seacoast defenses , towover strongly It may recognize their mportance , and there is little reason to ixpect that the condition of the national reasury will be so much improved when .ho succeeding congress conies In that t will be enabled to do much in this lireetion. The expenditures of Hie War depart- nent for the last liscal year were nearly III.OOO.OOO. The appropriations for the current year are about $10,000,000 less , he reduction being principally in tin- iniount provided for rivers and harbors. Plus maintenance of our military estab- ishment cannot be resarded as burden some when compared with the cost of such establishments In other great un ions. It may be worth while to note hat Secretary Lament has nothing to ay regarding the proposal to increase ho strength of the regular army , iirgei/ / * > y General Miles Inhls annual report. AX ( 'All ( It will bo remembered that In the last congress Senator Sherman submitted a esolutlon instructing the senate com- nlttee on interstate commerce to make nquiry as to the alleged extortionate barges of the Pullman car company and o report what would lie a reasonable ate for the seats , berths and sections furnished the public. The resolution vas not heard of after its presentation , ilthough it met with the very general ipproval of the traveling pufillc. As he Pullman company maintains a obby in Washington during the ses sions of congress the suppression of the esolutlon was ascribed to lids inllu- > nce. The Washington correspondent of the tiilllmori- Sun says that the advance guard of this lobby has already put in in appearance and preparations to stave off congressional Inquiry are evi- lent. Senator Sherman should , In the nterest of the traveling public , renew his call for an Inquiry regarding Pull- nan car charges and persist in the ef fort to have it prosecuted. At the time 10 Introduced Ids resolution last year for this purpose lie expressed the opln- on that Hie charges are extortionate mil It Is to he presumed he still holds his view. At any rate this Is the prac- Ically unanimous judgment of the trav- > llng public and It ought to have some onslderatlon from congress. The Pull- nan corporation Is not only rapacious , ml It seeks to evade , wherever pos sible. Its obligations to the public , par- Icnlarly In the matter of taxes. The leoplo have bonus its exactions with -xtraordlnary patience and forbearanee ind It is time they were given some ru le f. It Is In the power of congress to lo this and It should act. It Is said hat memorials requesting relief , coni ng from various sections and nnnicr- usly signed , will bo presented early in he session. ma J.VHM.VrKitinronr. The efforts of the commission sent to he Indian Territory to Induce the live rihcs to make a change In their sys- em of government and to place them- elves In a position to become citizens f the Hnlled States have failed. It tip. tears from the report of the coinmls- Ion , composed of men most friendly to he Indians , Iho chairman being ex-Sen ior Dawes of Massachusetts , found no encouragement whatever for their en deavor to persuade the Indians , or those who speak for them , many of whom are half-breeds and whlto men who have married Indian women , that their condition would bo greatly Improved If they should accept the proposition miulo to them by thu government , and the conclusion reached by th clearly shows that Its members haAe no hopn that anything can In * accom plished by such efforts as It lias made with all the patience and zeal of niin ' most anxious ( o bi < ncllt the Indians. I The commission therefore recommends that Hie I'tilted States establish a terri torial government over the live tribes and extend the Jurisdiction of the fed- | cral courts In the territory , expressing , 111. . ' opinion that there Is no foundation ! for the pretense that treaty obligations dt-bir the government from Interferi-iieo in the present condition of affairs In the , territory , which is represented to be steadily going from bad to worse. i The one dark spot on the map of the j Pnlted States Is the Indian Territory , , nnd It IH perfectly obvious Hint sooner i or later radical measures will have to ] lit- adopted to remedy llu < wrelchcd stallof affairs that exists tin-re. Then- Is practically no law there , for what I is called law Is a sham , It Is the refuge of the hiwlo.ss and the desperate , there Is no security for life and property , ami the commission states that four-llfths of j the Itoo.ooo population have no citlzen- ! ship. No other country on earth would | tolerate so anomalous and dangerous a condition of affairs in Its very midst and our government having made all reasonable and proper effort to Induce the Indians to Accept a plan that would remove the existing evils and inure to their henellt should proceed without further delay to exercise Its authority over this region and bring It under the rule of law and order , it Is high time that this reproach to the nation were removed , even If It be necessary In or der to do so to Ignore some treaty ob ligations. .i.v It Is a rule of newspaper ethics to refrain from comment upon Hie merits of a case in court while it Is pending and undecided. The Hoc has no dis position to discuss the guilt or Innocence of thu defendant In the Spoerl case at the present time. It has given its read ers full and accurate reports of the testimony In the case , upon which'they can form Individual opinions as well as tins members of the Jury. Hut The Heo cannot refrain from re ferring to the unheard-of proceeding In this case whereby the custody of the jury , both during the trial and after Hie jury had retired to arrive at Its verdict , was given over to a bailiff who testified as one of the witnesses for the defense. The bailiff in charge of a jury in a criminal case has every opportunity to talk to the jurymen and to influence their opinions. He accompanies them to and from their meals , escorts them on more or less extended walks , taken for the sake of exercise , and alone has access to them and communication with them while they are consulting in the jury room. It Is the regular practice of the bailiffs to discuss different subjects with the members of the jury while , in their custody and It is no uncommon thing for them to discuss the case upon which the jury is deliberating. To hand a jury over to a bailiff who is known to have publicly expressed an active sympathy for the prisoner on trial would be an aet , of'at least doubt- fnl judicial propriety. To continue that bailiff as the custodian of the jury after he had volunteered to give expert testi mony as a witness for the defense and had appeared on Hie stand to impeach the evidence adduced by the state is as close to tempting fate as It could well lie. It may possibly have been an over sight or the result of unintentional neglect , but the pernlclousness of the practice will hardly be disputed. Kvery man accused of crime Is rightfully en titled to a fair and impartial trial before an unbiased judge and a jury composed of mon open to conviction , but lie Is en titled to no more. In this instance had Hie defendant been permitted to name the man to take charge of ills jury ho would probably have made no different choice from the man to whom that duty was assigned. TllK 3IAXITUIIASSL' / ; . The report that Manitoba is on the verge of rebellion , by reason of Hie con flict of authority between the Dominion government and the authorities of that irovlnco , growing out of the school ques tion , Is not Incredible. When the Issue was raised some lime ago as to whether the Koinau Catholics should lie allowed to maintain parochial schools In Mani toba the authorities of the province suc ceeded In doing away willi the schools , notwithstanding the opposition of the Dominion government , but this was not allowed to be n final settlement of the 'onlroversy. At that time this people of Manitoba , a very large majority of whom are Protestants , threatened lo re bel If the government Insisted upon per mitting thu existence of the Catholic parochial schools .and the situation be came so menacing that a truce was ar ranged with a view to bringing about a compromise. It appears that efforts n this direction have failed and that n anticipation of the Dominion govern- iit'iiL taking action for the restoration of he schools the authorities and the Prot- stant people of Manitoba are preparing to resist even to the point of rebellion. Without considering Hie merits of the ssue , It may be said that if a rebellion should be organized In Hie province the Dominion government might not find It in easy task to suppress It. Such a conflict would , however , bo altogether leplorablu and It Is to be hoped a way will be found lo avert It. While the well-to-do residents of this city were filling up on Thanksgiving nrkey nnd concomitants , thu wants of the needy weru supplied by thu Asso ciated Charities , whose store rooms were filled with contributions from school children and generous-hearted nerchants and manufacturers.

IOWA I'll ESS COM.MKXT. Sioux City Times : Secretary Morton's chemlsto at Washington have demonstrated that corn grown In Itusfia Is not as fat as corn grown In Nebraska. This fully offsets his ticknowKdgment that the meat inspection In his department Is of no use. Burlington Gazette : Iowa could be a democratic ftato If a man ot snfllcicnt sen51 ? and strength cduld bs procured as manager to get the vote out. Two hundred thousand democratic votes would have won this year , and we have moro than that In the state. Vet only 110,000vere cast. According to the slate census just completed 100,000 votert In Iowa stayed away from the polls this year. It may be set down for a fact that the demo cratic state- committee used no effort what ever to get the vote out. Waterloo Courier : Among the Interesting matters developed by the Iowa census Is the fact that there weie .10,147 births and 12,730 deaths In this state during the year 1S91. The population of the state ls 2,038,00 ! ) . ThU gives a death rate of C.01 iwr 1,000 of living population , which la a most remarkable one jnd cannot bo duplicated In the United States.

In vl w of the numerous p l.ice plots at ConMnntlnople and of the Imminent danger that prevails of the sultan's disappearance either by means of asMRslnatlon or otherwise , It Is worth wlills remembering thnt the suc cessor to his throne Is not his eldest ? on , Mfhcmmetl Islim , now In bis 25th year , but the present caliph's younger brother , Me- tieir.mod Rp lind. n man of some CO ytnrn , the law of succession providing for the In- lurltnuce of the crown not from father to ion. but accord Ing to seniority by the male descendants of Otlimnn. the founder of the dynasty. A sultan Is only succeeded by his eldest son In the event of there being no unrip or poiiJln of greater age. There Is , however , a danger that In the. event of the death of the present ruler of the Ottoman empire an attempt may be made to restore tn the throne Sultan Murad , who , after reign- lug for four months In 1S7C , was dcponxl on the ground of Insanity , but who Is now al leged by many people In Constantinople to have recovered his reason. Should the latter really prove to bo the case , It may bo taken for granted Hint the next sultan will be that one of the two brothers who offers the strongest guarantees of opposition lo western reforms and progress since the task of de ciding the- matter lies In the hands of the Shelk-I'l-Islam and of his clergy , who. like all .bigoted followers of the prophet , abhor every thing thnt savors of the foreigner nnd of Christianity , This In turn might result In the Interference of the great powers In behalf of the more progressive of the two brothers , nnd would probably precipitate the Inevitable disruption of the Turkish empire. * * * The Turkish government has never had any power over the Kurds. Their numbers nro unknown , although It Is believed that there tire nearly 2,000,000 of them In the Turkish dominions , while those In I'ersla nggregite fiO.OOl ) . Nil attempt has ever been made to govern them beyond a collection of rove- line ; ihey are despised nnd distrusted. They nre brigands and thieves , and yet have ns haughty n pride , ns If they had been de scended from n line of kings. They have a literature and music , and although outwardly professing Mohammedanism , are in reality nothing but pagans. While roaming con- I'louly between Turkey and I'ersla , they In fest Armenia , pillaging , burning , outraging and murdering , and sometimes terrifying even the Turkish soldiery. Attempts have been made to organize n Kurdish kingdom , tind one of them came near being successful. If the present upilslng should spread through all the tribes , the Hiiltan would have a Htrnggle on his hands that all the soldiers of the empire could not end. The success of ( be young Czechs In the recent elections In Hohemla may result In the cmparor ot Austria-Hungary going to I'ragnc and bring crowned king of Uohomla. This has been the ambition of the Dohomlan people ple , especially of the younger Czech element , for many years , nnd It ha ? b2en understood that the emperor has not been averse to doing so , any more than he objected to being crowned king of Hungary at Hudapest , but the lnfliicntl.il German element In Hohmla has until now successfully opposed any such ceremony. The Germans are In a numeri cal minority , but hold most of the wealth and a Hrgt ? pan of the- territory of Hohemla , and have thus ben enabled to practically govern ( he country , aided by a division nmong the native Czechs Into conservative nml radical wings. The radicals , or young Czechs , ha\v baen growing strong rapidly of late , and whin the recent election for mem bers of the Itohemlan Diet wag ordered the leader of th ? conservative , or old Czech party , announced that his following would makeno contest for seats , leaving the- field clear for the young Czechs. The result Is a young Czech majorlly In the Diet , which means n radical government , and the possi ble restoration of this ancient kingdom teat at least th ? semblance of a standing among the natlonu of the earth. The peculiar land system of Russia Is n sulllclcnt reason for her fierce seal for terri torial expansion. The peasants live in vil lage communities ! , each of which has enough land to support the community In comfort , but not enough to maintain any large Increase - creasoIn population. Such Increase must seek new lamb and form new communllles. H Is tha throwing off of the surface popula tion that has led to a great flow of settlers over the Urals Into western Asia. Since the restrictions with regard to voluntary emi gration to Siberia have been removed thou- wiuls of emigrants have crossed the border. Such conditions Ktlmulate the ruling class to provide new Melds for settlement. Hussla's natural outlet is northern and western Asia In this Held sha is supreme and likely to re main so. When flie turns toward European and Asiatic possessions of Turkey she will meet firm rivalry from the- western powers- nevertheless. It Is easy to predict that when the Inevitable day comes , he It near or far when the Turk Is expelled from Europe , Hnssa ! will not be > the least to gain by It A power which successfully assumed the bold position which she took In the Japanese war , and carried her point without a single Kuropsan nation daring to protest , Is not likely to lose her share in any future division of Turkey. * * * Wlillo the Cuban Insurgents obstinately de- cllno to be suppressed , and , on the contrary , uaein to have turned tha tables on their foes , the Cuban question has also bacomo a grave issue In Spanish politics. The threat ening cabiuat crisis at Madrid may ho traced back to General Mirtlnez Campos' dcclara- t'cn upon his departure for the field that nothing could save Cuba to Spain but a liberal concession of political and economic autonomy to the island colony. It Is. a strange feature of the situation In Spain that the ministry ot that nrch-conscrvatlvo , Canovas del Castillo , ojeniD Inclined toward a policy of reform , while the critics who con demn the lack of firmness on the part of the government In dealing with the rebellion and who Insist upon making the uncondi tional surrender of the Insurgents an In dispensable preliminary of any parley about autonomy , nre found chiefly In the ranks of the Spanish liberal party. Before the rival politicians of Spain shall have compromised their differences ths Cuban patriots may settle the question In their own fashion. Tn k I ii U' Tim iIty ( InTopKnot. .
