Omnha Is trying lo Kttat our Twin City
Northwestern exposition Idea for 1898 , and
Mit'll do It , too , It that itchcmo 1in to wait
for St. Paul much longer. Minneapolis
Journal.
Oinnlm Is doing nothing of the kind.
The Idea nf n Western Elates exposi
tion was not borrowed by Omaha from
Minneapolis or St. Paul. An Interstate
exposition with Omaha ns the focal
point had been advocated for years
by The Hee and tlu % project wa > side
tracked only because of the World's fair
at Chicago.
As between Omaha nnd the Twin
cities ( he advantage of central location
is decidedly with Omahn. A circle
drawn around St. Paul and Minneapolis
with a radius of 500 miles takes In
In n large slice of the Hrlllsh posses
sions , but falls to Include the most pro-
llllc and Important states west of the
Mississippi. A circle with a radius of
500 miles drawn around Omaha would
take In Missouri , Kansas , Iowa. Illinois ,
South Dakota , Minnesota , W-k'eonsln
and Wyoming. Omaha Is accessible to
the whole region west of the Uockles ,
while St. Paul nnd Minneapolis hnvo no
direct connection with the greater half
of It.
It.While
While the Twin cities boast n larger
population than Omaha , the territory
surrounding Omaha , and with which
Omaha Is connected by half a dozen
great railway systems , possesses re
sources which the country tributary
to St. Paul and Minneapolis cannot
possibly match. As a matter of fact
every state that would participate In
an exposition at MInne-Paul or Paul-
eapolls , whichever you prefer to call
it , would be represented In a Tntns-
mlsslsslppl exposition at Omahn. On the
other hand , six or eight of the tr.ins-
mlssisslppl states would be as likely
lo exhibit at Montreal or Toronto ns
they would at the capitals of Minnesota.
Why was the Cotton States exposi
tion located at Atlanta and not nt
Mobile or Galveston or Jacksonville ?
Simply because Atlanta was most cen
tral and therefore most accessible and
most available for the promotion of the
object In view. That , object was pri
marily to attract labor and capital to
the new south and to stimulate In
dustrial enterprise by exhibiting the
natural products and the manufactured
articles that have been or can be made
from them. The prime object , of the promoters
meters of the Transmississlppl exposi
tion must be the development of the
western country by the advertisement
*
of Its vast 7ind unrivalled resources.
In this direction Omnha commands the
situation. It Is accessible from every
point of the compass. It is in the very
heart of the transmlssissippl region and
for that reason has received the unan
imous endorsement of the states and
territories represented in the Transmls-
slsslppl congress.
WILL DEVKAT THE UOND HILL.
Thure Is no doubt that the bond bill
which passed the house before New
Year's will never pass the senate. The
free silver men have a majority of the
finance committee and It scorns certain
that no bill will bo reported from that
committee unless it provides for free
coinage at 10 to 1. Such a measure
could not pass either branch of congress.
It is also safe to predict that no bill
providing for an issue of bonds nt a
lower rate of Interest than is pro
vided under existing law , or allowing
the secretary of the treasury to issue
certificates of indebtedness when there
are deficiencies in revenue , will pass
tills congress.
This , however , was foreseen and ought
to cause no surprise , but none the less
It may have ill effects of n serious
nature. The reopening of the free sliver
coinage question can hardly fall to In
tensify financial distrust and thus re
tard the return of Industrial activity
and business prosperity. It is notice
to foreign capitalists who hold Ameri
can securities that there Is still a free
sliver element here strong enough to
defeat any financial' legislation that
may bo proposed , It Is not suliiclent
to restore confidence In our securities
to say that this clement Is powerless
to put Its policy Into effect. That Is
well understood. Rut being able and
determined to prevent necessary and
urgent legislation for , the protection
of the treasury and the maintenance
of the public credit , the free silver men
arc still capable of doing great mis
chief and tills fact Is quite enough to
keep up distrust , If not to increase It
Wo cannot , therefore , expect that for
eign capitalists will take our securities
or that they will not continue to bo
returned to us , augmenting the de
mand upon our gold resources.
The free silver men , however , are
Indlssolubly joined to their Idol and the
country must take the consequences.
It is nn unfortunate situation from
which worse results may come than
can now bo foreseen.
UlllTKU
There Is no reasonable doubt that the
spirit of British aggression is In largo
measure responsible for the trouble In
the Transvaal and that the lOuropean
powers having Interests In South Africa
are Justified In taking this view. That
the hostile movement of .lameson
against the Hoers had for Its chief mo
tive the transformation of the now Inde
pendent South African republic Into a
Itrltlsh possession there Is excellent rea
son to believe , although it may not have
been directly inspired from London.
The leader In this movement has been
a daring and skillful agent for the ex
tension of British power and posses
sions in South Africa. Ho was the real
leader In the war against the Mntubele
chief Lobongulu which resulted In
bringing all the territory of that savage
monarch under subjection to the Brit
ish and since then he has been await
ing another opportunity to advance Brit
ish aggrandizement In that region. It Is
true that he had n sort of excuse for
his raid in the demand of the English-
speaking whites resident In that coun
try for a fair share In Its government
and equal political' rights , but this did
not justify nn attempt to overthrow the
government of the republic and It Is en-
tlrely reasonable to assume that no such
attempt would have been made merely
for the purpose of securing tiieso rights.
As has bccu suggested , Jumesou'a ex-
trnordlnnry conduct In destroying tin
telegraph lines behind him clearlj
showed that he meant to be lusurci
against the receipt of such orders froiv
Ids superiors , either In Cape Colony 01
In ( treat Britain , ns should Interfere
with his raid until It was too late tc
save the Boer government from tin
crushing blow he expected to Inflict
having accomplished which , he probablj
reasoned , the British government could
not bo Induced to deal severely with the
man who had virtually insured the
speedy annexation of the Transvaal ,
with all Us mineral wealth , to the- Brit
ish empire.
But whether or not this bo the correct
view , the operation of Jameson has
served to arouse the Kuropean powers ,
with Germany In the lead , to n keener
sense of British aggression in the direc
tion of territorial aggrandizement and
the latest Kuropcan dispatches Indicate
that there Is a strong tendency ninons
the continental powers to unite In resist
ing this British policy , nt least so far
as South Africa is concerned , It Is not
to be apprehended , perhaps , that the
Transvaal Incident will lead to any se
rious rupture between Great Britain
and fhe powers that have African in
terests , but it is more than likely to re
sult In such an understanding among
those powers as will effectively curb the
aggressive tendency of the British to
extend their territorial possessions. It
appears that at last Knglnnd reallx.es her
position of friendlessness and Isolation ,
but whether this will have the effect to
Improve her conduct and policy It Is
Impossible to say. The American people
will have no sympathy with her In
whatever issue the otherJSuropoan pow
ers may make and they will see In her
position reasonable assurance that shu
cannot command , the support of other
European powers In the issue she has-
with the United States. The demand
for wise statesmanship has hardly ever
been greater In British history than it
Is at present.
MORTON'S CAXDWAOr.
Governor Morton of Is'ew York Is an
avowed candidate for- the presidential
nomination and It appears has the sup
port of the entire republican party of
that state. Mr. Morton had the ques
tion of making a nice for the nomina
tion under consideration for some time
and It was only a few days ago that he
decided to have himself announced as
a candidate. According to the New
York Mail and Express all the repub
lican leaders of the state are heartily
In favor of Governor Morton and if
that be so lie will have no difliculty In
securing the Empire state delegation
to the convention at St. Louis. "The
supporters of Mr. Merion refuse to
give any weight to the objection to
his candidacy on the scoreof age , he
%
being now nearly 72. They say he in
still a vigorous man , who is justified
In looking forward to many years of
usefulness , and that men much his
senior have held power In various
European governments , for example ,
Bismarck and Gladstone.
There Is favorable comment outside
of Is'ew York -on Governor Morton's
candidacy and unquestionably ho is a
man who merits the confidence of repub
licans everywhere , yet it is very doubt
ful that he will secure the presidential
nomination , however ardently and earn
estly his New York supporters may
labor for him.
Business men should remember thai
in the license contest cases before the
police commission , under the peculiar
ruling of the commissioners , the bonii
lido circulation of The Evening Bee In
Douglas county was compared with the
combined padded circulations of the
Morning World-Herald and the Evening
World-Herald. Even then the only way
the unassailable circulation figures of
The Evening Bee could be approached
was by counting out The Evening Bees
sold by news dealers and counting in
the counter sales of both Evening
World-Herald and Morning World-
Herald. No business man will be de
ceived by the jugglery and trickery
practiced by the police commission to
pay Its political debts and punish po
litical opponents.
For over three weeks that great organ
of the people , the Lincoln Journal , has
been trying to raise $10 by popular sub
scription lo purchase flags for the public
school buildings of that city. It gener
ously headed Hie list with a promise1
of $10 and a further promise to make
acknowledgments of all payments from
day to day In Its columns. Just nine
people have responded to the call with
subscriptions , aggregating ? 17. Unless
some one soon conies to Its rescue the
Journal will be compelled to waste a
largo amount of Its valuable space. To
avert such a calamity The Bee respect
fully urges its Lincoln patrons to make
up the sum which the Journal set out
to raise and thus end the painful agony.
Major Handy thinks that the candi
dacy of Levl P. Morton for the repub
lican presidential nomination Is merely
the compliance with the wishes of a
half dozen Empire state politicians who
would like to follow Mr. Morton in the
governor's chair. In other words , the
New York politicians want to get Mr.
Morton out of the way and think ele
vating him to the presidency Is the best
way to accomplish that result. Gov
ernor Morton certainly will not object to
such heroic treatment
The Inspector of weights nnd meas
ures has made his annual report. He
condemned 1KX ) scales and ' , < 52 measures
during the year. This represents the
number of dealers who unknowingly
or willfully defrauded their patrons by
giving short weights. The olllco of inspector
specter of weights and measures Is a
very Important one to the consumers of
this city , but the law does not fix n very
heavy penalty for dealers who know
ingly give short weights. It ought to.

Chicago Times-Herald : The Issue to which
all thD natlcns of the earth are gradually
awakening whether the time has not come
to forcibly prevent ths extension of British
dominion has just been precipitated by tiie
ra.sh act cf Jameson , a hlgh-handEd adven
turer of the type more patiently considered
In tha heydt-y of piracy than In our own
time. It is liiconcslvable that the secretary
for the colonies should not have been ablate
to .stop th ? South African company's agent.
Private letters prove that the sortlei way In
contemplation a month ago. Mr. Chombcr-
laln'a lamentations are tardy.
Chicago Post : The forces of the nritlfh
South Africa company , led by the- agent
cf the Cape Colony premier , have Invaded
the Transvaal republic under the pretext
that the English and other settlers , the Ultt-
landers , ar ? taxed without representation
and have no adequate protection from the
laws. John Bull has nlwjys ha < l an equally
p.auslblo cxcus ? for a land grab. The kal 2r's
government will scarcely be blind to the
ultimate rJsults of lr. Jameson's act , which
Is based upon a much lea ? , moral considera
tion than a wish to support "a political move
ment which Is In the natureof a constitu

Loulsvlllo Courier-Journal : England seems

In marching nn armed force lnt > the Train-
vaal republic hao been disavowed , but If the
Boers should bo overcome nil the world
knows what the re.ilt would bo. Dr. Jame-
Eon was successful In his opratlons against
King Lobengula , and though ho Is now
pitting ; himself against a brave and warlike
people , the result may be the t > amo. He
seems to be nn adventurer with the.genius
of a Cllve or a Rhoades ; and the Tranovaal
la a field that Is irresistibly attractive to
such spirits. Military eklll that shall match

and then England will have a new colony.
It matters not that It may bo well governed

soon bo like that of the old shoemaker , whc
was also a Justice of the peace a subject
of contempt at all times ! The man scenu
to be crazy upon this subject. If he. visits
hlu vengeance upon every editor who holds
him In sovereign contempt ho will havs the
jails of the state tilled with qulllnlrlvcrs ,
Luckily the supreme court exists , and the
tripod can safely rely upon them for justice ,
Scott is a judicial ass , without sense or good
Judgment. Wako him up , fratcrs.
Auburn Granger : True , Raker was found
guilty by a Jury , but remember that It waa
against , the jury , and ono Juror In particular ,
that Raker spoke out In meeting ; and re
member that It was the offended or Irate
Judge that presided and gave instructions
to the Jury , and remember that It was the
same judge who reclUd the words of Raker
and others ns affecting him , and then as II
hurt by the same , pronounced the sentence.
Wns Judge Scott competent under the cir
cumstances to be fair and Impartial ? Could
any man have been allowed to sit as one
of a Jury of twelve to try the case or fix
the punishment who was manifestly so In
censed ? Our courts must have more- respect
for the right and they will bo respected
more.
Friend Telegraph : The case of Editor
Raker ot Gretna appears to bo a case where
li has been sentenced to ons yoir In the
poll for telling the truth. During the fen-
tcnce Judgd Scott of Omaha bore down
prettily heavily on the newspaper fraternity
everywhere. It may be possible that the
fraternity Is not through with Judge Scott
au yet , or that his honor had bstter appear
In Russia or Turkey , where the press dare
not declare their souls are their own. We
regard the whole matter as an outrage , not
only upon the freedom ot the press , but also
upon a citizen. It Is charged that the pro
ceedings In Judge Scott's court hastened the
death ct Raker's wife. The casa has. . been
taken to the supreme court , where a stay
has been Issued and the case will bo revived.
Grand Island Independent : If the "free
dom of the press" were more generally used
to keep such tyrants as Judg- Scott husking
corn Instead of attempting to deal out Jus-
tic ? , the country and press would both bs
much better off. The old plnite will no
doubt fe'-l the stinging rebuke of the cross-
reads press , whosei usefulness ho seems
to endeavor to belittle by his Innuendoes.
Xo doubt this tallow dip was made a legal
light through the Influ'nce of the same
country press that ho would have people
brlicva is so ruinous to the peace- and com
fort of Mich legal Incapables as Scott shows
himself , to bp every time ho is call'd upan
( .o deal Jusflco , where. Instead , personal
splten Is dealt out. Scott Is the result of
too much p-artlsnn politics , from which the
election of a Judg. should bo a far removed
as Scott Is from heaven.
Wisner Chronicle : The action of Judge
Scott In sentencing Editor Raker of the
Gretna Reporter to one year at hard labor
in the ttats penitentiary after an unconi'tltu-
tional tiial in Douglas county , when the of-
fensa consisted only of publishing the
truth concerning the conduct of a mem
ber ot a Douglas county grand jury ,
was ono of the most infamous
travesties on justice and atrocious perversions
of authority ever known to the records of any
court. The supreme court has righteously
yjspended the sentence nnd will review the
case. There is every reason to believe that
Great Scott's court will be reversed , but If
It Is not Governor Holcomb will endear his
memory to the newspaper publishers of Ne
braska and msrlt and receive their cordial
support by pardoning Raker Immediately upon
Ills arrival at the pen and bidding him return
home and tell the truth always.
York Democrat : No worse tyrant ever
sat on the throne of any tyrannical govern
ment th-in the man who presides over the
courts of justice down nt Omaha ,
Judge Scott. Ho sentenced W. S.
Raker , dltor of the Gretna Reporter , to
on1- year In the penitentiary , at hard labor ,
for cfltlclblng the acts of the judge. If all
of our courts were presided over by Eiich
tyrantu as Scott what a glorious republic
nnd 1-ind of free spo ch our country would
be. In some of the most tyrannical govern
ments men's hcaclg have bsen chopped offer
[ or criticising the acts of the ruler , but
this man , Cunningham H. Scott , dare not
KJ quitso far as to order thcl.r head !
chopped off , so ho cantences them to serve
i term In th ? penitentiary. Judges are
just aw llublo to err or commit fraud as
my other official , nnd their acts t'hould
I ) criticised just the same ns any other
offtclcl. "When the American pi-opls are
deprived cf th ' right to express on opinion
regarding the acts of their officials , where
is our llbsrty , wheri Is free speech ?
Lincoln Ltadcr : We find this nstonlfhing
statement made by this judge from flic
bsnch : Ono if two things will have to happen.
Either newspaper men will love to stop
abusing people or the people will jsee that
the liberty uf the pres la taken from them.
AD the people at large have nowhere' ' and
at no tlmo demanded that' the liberty of
the press be taken away , Judge Scott must
mean by that phrase that the judges will
do ft. The tendency to establish a Judicial
despotism In this country has often been
pplnted out by populist editor * . It Is a Bert
of poetic Justice that old party editors seem
to bo receiving the first applications of It.
Because Editor Raker did not seem to bt >
humble and repentant for publishing what
ereired to him to be the truth and live- news
Judge Scott , according tc- this shorthand re
port In The Bee , called the attention of the
court olilcers and bystanders to him In the
following , to say the least , very rtrange
language to come from a judge on the bench.
Judge Scott said : "You neo how perfectly
brazen ho Is as hestands here
today. He has the lda that If h ?
owns a newspaper he IB greater than GoJ. "
In other dnya , especially In the army , It
was a saying "that no man who la a gen
tleman will almsa or Insult an unarmed
prisoner. " But perhaps these rule ) which
ire current among gentlemen do not apply
to judges. If they do not we beg pardon. We
do not want to go to jail ,
Papllllon Times : U Is needless to dlscupi
the merits of ii1) case , ail that question doeu
not enter here. Potulhly Raker may have
libeled Babbitt , but no matter If the libel
liad boon gross and malicious , still the de-
'emlant had a Tight of trial In hla own county
by a fair and Impartial magistrate , This
sacrrd right was denied him. He waa forced
to trial In Douglas county before a judge
whoso prejudice against the accused cropped
out at every turn In the proceedings. The
court'ii Instruction ! ) were Inflammatory , con
voying to the jurors the Impression that thy
muut llml the defendant guilty ; that titty had
no other alternative. After the return of the
jury's verdict of guilty , Mr. Raker made
preparation to take the ca to the supreme
ourt on error as soon as ontenca should be
pronounced , believing that no court of Ilnal
determination would alllrm a sentnco re
turned under such circumstances. Here again
tha magistrate showed his hatred for th'
accused by refujlus to pass sentence , and
thus giving the persecuted man a chance to
geek rctl'resu ' In a higher court. Instead of
> asgng | sentence , ho sent Raker home.

The Boers e > f SoutJi Africa combine tin
characteristics of two people who are con
splcuous In European history , for the strug
glcs they waged for political and religion :
liberty. Since the days when the flrst ban <
of hardy Immigrant lloers crossc l the Vns
river , whcro England's tyranny stopped a
following them , and planted their cabins ci
the broad nnd sunny slopes of the Transvaal
the country has gone through the change !
nnd throes which mark the life of Indtvldua
nnd nation alike. Some ycxxrs ago as thi
reflex of n combination of external clrcunv
stance ! ! , the financial straits of the govern
nitnt were so cxtrcmo that salvation wns on ! }
effected by a loan ot $20,000 , advanced by t
private enterprise , for securities that nt tin
present time would realize the amount a bun
dred times over. Within the past five yean
n marvelous development ot population , re
sources nnd Industries tins followed on tin
success which gold mining has achieved.
The constitution of the South Africa re
public is based on the Roman-Dutch. The
legislative power Is vested In the Volksraad ,
the members ot which are elected by their
constltutcnts for four years. The executive
consists of the president , elected for flvc
years by n general election throughout the
state ; the state secretary , elected by the
Volksraad. for four years , and four unofrlclal
members chosen for three years by the
Volksraad.
The 011101 * ofllcor In each district Is the
landdrost , who acts ns magistrate nnd civil
commissioner , with the assistance of n clerk ,
who la nt the same time public prosecutor
nnd distributer of stamps. Each district is
further provided with a baljuw or sheriff ,
jailer , and a staff ot constables. With the
exception of a corps of mounted artillery
and police , commanded by three officers with
about sixty men , the republic has no armed
force.
President Kruegcr Is now occupying his
office for.the third term. Ho Is a man who
has stood well at the helm of the country
through dark and stormy periods. In the
ccurso of his life he has carried the mus
ket almost continuously. In the1 adventurous
carctr of a pioneer and through many troub
lous seasons , against English aggression.
His purse has over been freely opened In
the service of the republic. It may be
truly said ot him that ho Is a patriot , a
man whoseIrrolc life posterity will honor.
Among the Boers he Is known exclusively
as "Oom Paul , " "Uncle Paul. " Though n
man of rugged exterior , untutored even as
regards the most elementary branches of
education , he. has ohown a practical capacity
tor government that has been a match for
: lie most finished diplomacy and statecraft.
Face to face ho has treated with sonic
of the most eminent British statesmen ,
nelth'r daunted nor disconcerted by them
or their surroundings. In later years Paul
[ Crueger has demonstrated In a more- marked
nanner his governmental capacity. On
.ho one hand he has had to deal with
the Boers , primitive , unlettered and unpro-
gresslve , yet representing the basic stre-ngth
ot the country , nnd very jealous of their
rights. On the other hand , with a larger
lopulatlon of Intelligent and speculating
English , who represent the mining Interests
and would bo for ousting old conditions com-
iletely and establishing a new state of
; hlngs to suit their own interests. Few- men
could have stood between these two ele
ments and exhibited , the strength and dis
cretion that Paul Krucger has done.
For the conservatism of the interests of the
iilnlng class , almost entirely English , he in
fluenced the Volksraad to establish a second
chamber , to which they could send their rep
resentatives. This chamber legislates In the
ntercst of the English class and for the local
nterests oC the country , the Volksraad hold-
ns the right of veto over Its proceedings.
President Kmeger Is in his ( JDth year and Is
still active nnd vigorous. With the older and
ntddleagod Boers he Is Immensely popular.
The younger Boers and the foreign popula
tion do not generally regard him as suffi
ciently progressive. Ho has been twice mar
ried and has a family of ten sons and daugh-
.ers. lie and his wlfo-aro very simple In
.holr ways. They belong to the Doppers , n
strict sot of Dutch Protestants , with peculi
arities of manners nnd dress that somewhat
resemble the Quakers.

hlngs , that "Oom Paul" Krucger Is a looloo
