FHKSWKNT AKD VICE
It Is a curious fact thnt throtiglioui
our entire history the relntlona botwoor
the president and the vice president
hnro rarely beou cordlnl , or indeei
friendly. The L'hllndclphla Times notci
that under Wnshlngton the rice prcsl
dent was regarded as the closest ofllcci
lo the president of nil the government
officials and John Adams was the mosl
trusted adviser of Uio president. An
other Instance of friendly , feeling be
tween the president and vice president
was tlmt of Andrew Jnclcson and Mnr-
lln Van Bureu. But llwse are the only
cases of real cordiality nnd confidence
bclwccii these high olllclnls , whllo In
some cnses Ihore has been nol merely
lack of confidence , but positive mutual
dislike. It Is n familiar fact thnt except
in the observance of the requirements
of ctlqttottn our presidents nnd vlco
presidents for ninny years have held no
relations with carh other , whllo nny
olllclnl communication between them has
been of the most perfunctory character.
However this mny be accounted for it
Is certainly not In accord with the pur
pose of the founders of the government ,
who could not have Intended that the
vice president should be a mere figure
head In tlio government , with no other
duty In connection with public affairs
than That of presiding over the senate.
It Is true thnt there Is no authority or
responsibility conferred upon the vice
president by the constitution In respect
to public affalrw , but none the less ho
Is a representative of the prin
ciples ) of his parly and IIH such
may properly be consulted In rela
tion to the promotion of those principles.
There Is reason to think that the
cramplc of Washington nnd Adams will
ho repented tinder the present adminis
tration and that the views of Vice Presi
dent Hobart regarding public questions
will be sought and given proper con
sideration by President McICinley. As
the Times remarks , "Ilobart Is a big-
brained , big-hearted , generous man , and
all his prominent attributes Invite the
closest confidence and most friendly re
lations with the president. " Mr. Me-
Klnley Is a man who can appreciate
such qualities at their true value and
it IH safe to say that Mr. Ilobart will
not be wholly excluded from considera
tion by President McKinley.

It wns to be expected that the Brltlsl
press would disapprove of what Prowl
ilent McKInh-y said In regard lo protec
tion and perhaps the American poop )
will see In this a very good reason fo
supporting that policy. English maun
fncturers were not entirely satisfle *
with the present tariff. It doe.s not g (
is far as they would have liked In UK
llrectlon of free trade , but It has provei
i very material help to them. Purlu ;
: hc ilrstyear and a half of Its operatioi
wine British industries realized a de
; roe 'of activity greater than they luu
cnown for many years. Mills and fac
lories were operated day and night t <
ncet the orders for the American mar
cot For a year past there has been i
nil , owing to the depression and the
) verstockcd condition of this market
md now that the British manufac
Hirers are confronted'by the promise 01
L new tariff under which they will have
o pay more liberally for the privilege
) f entering the American market thej
laturally regard the situation as some
vhat discouraging and their feeling h
-olced In the press. Ono Journal de
ilnres that England must reckon witl :
lommercinl ilvalry under the McKlnle.v
eglme , which sounds like an abandon
nisnt of the theory that American pro
ectioii makes England's commercia
npremacy fiecnre , which has been
reached persistently by British nn < ;
American free traders.
Perhaps the English manufacturer
; ro uunecessnilly apprehensive. Presl-
lent McKluIey has advised a conserva-
U'd tariff and the understood Intention
* to frame such n tariff. Wo need
avenue mid extreme legislation would
lefcat this. But It will be more of n
rotectlon measure than the existing
iw , because that Is necessary to the
ovlvnl of our Industries , and this will
ie accomplished at the ( > \i > ensc of the
urclgii manufacturers. There Is n very
irgo majority of the American people
, 'ho are anxiously awaiting the In-
ugnratlon of this policy.
AS 2-0
President McKluIey occupies no am
ilguoiis position on the question of
ommerclal reciprocity. Ho In-lieves
leartily nnd fully in that policy as n
elpful moans of promoting our foreign
rade. AVhen reciprocity wits first pro-
ost'd in connection with the tariff bill
f 1890 it Is said that McKinley was not
ivornbly Impressed with It. As Is gen-
rally known It was urged by Mr.
tlaJne , then secretary of state , who ac-
imllng to report nt that time was somo-
. lint aggressive and vehement in his
islstenco that the reciprocity principle
, 'as necessary io Jho extension of the
mikets for American products and to
ompensate for the favors extended to
lie products of other countries by thnt
triff act It wns understood nt that
line that Mr. MeKInley , a.s tlio chair-
inn of the ways and means committee ,
ither reluctantly acceded to the view of
lr. lilalno and accepted the reciprocity
lausu Introduced by thu senate In the
irla * act of 1S1K ) .
However this may be is not a matter
l' present Importance. The fact of 1m-
lodlnto significance Is that President
U-Klnley Is heartily In favor of reel-
roclty and his Influence will be given
> the restoration of that policy. Hln
mugural address is perfectly clenr and
xpHclt on this question. "In the re-
Islon of the tariff , " the president said ,
[ special attention should bo given to
10 re-enactment and extension of the
elproclty principle of thn law of 18'JO ,
mler which so great n stimulus was
Iveu to our foreign Ira do in new and
dvantageous markets for our surplus
ifrlcultural and manufactured prod-
L-ts. The brief trial given this leglsla-
on amply Justifies a further expert-
ont and additional discretionary jiower
L the milking up of commercial
cntles , the end in view always to be
10 opening up of new markets for the
roducta of our country , by granting
mcebslons to the products of other
nda that wo neud und cauuot produce
ourselves , nnd which do not involve nnj
loss of Jnbor to our own people , but tcnil
to Increase their employment"
Tficro can bo no doubt that this view
of President McKinley accords with
genernl public opinion. The ninnnfnc-
ttirlng Interests of the country , through
their various organizations and In con
ventions , have strongly pronounced In
favor of reciprocity , ami unquestionably
the agricultural Interest Is practically
unanimous for thnt policy. Congress
must recognize the demnnds of these
Interests , but there will , It appears , bo
some difficulty In the way of re-cnncting
the reciprocity feature of the act of
1890. In the first place , that wns based
upon free sugar and the tariff bill that
will bo presented to the Fifty-fifth con
gress will carry duties on sugar from
which It Is expected to derive revenue
to the amount of from ? r > 0,000.000 to
? 00,000,000. This will remove the chief
source of rcclpioclfy arrangements.
Then there Is another difficulty In the
fact that conditions have changed with
respect to some of the countries with
which wo had reciprocity agreements
and they mny not bo so ready now ns
they were six years ngo to enter Into
reciprocity. This is notably the care
with Brazil , with which the United
States cannot hope to make so favorable
an agreement ns the one that wns
terminated by the Fifty-third congress.
Thus while there Is general concurrence
In the view of President McKinley ns lethe
the desirability of "the re-cnactinciit
nnd extension of the reciprocity prin
ciple of the law of 18W ) , " It Is to be ap
prehended that It will not be ns easy
now as It then was to secure thn ac-f
ccptnncc of that principle by other coun
tries. The abandonment of it was a
grave mistake which has cost the com
mercial Interests of the United States
tens of millions of dollars and to restore
It will bo a task very hard of accom
plishment. Still the republican party
is committed to an effort to do this nnd
the attitude of the president gives ns
suranco that the effort , will be made.

duce In fabulous quantities.
That there Is a woeful lack of Informatloi
concerning our resources , productions ant
climate Is well known by those of us wh (
havevtalted the east during the past fov
years.
The fact of our being located In A nortbcrr
latitude causes very many pecplo , and In
deed all who have not taken the pains t (
Inform themselves , to suppose , wo have vorj
long and very cold winters.
The following question was asked one ol
our citizens by a very Intelligent and other
wise well Informed business man In the cltj
of Chicago : "How do you manage durlnf
your long , cold wlnlers when the sound U
frozen up ? " Such a qncallon Is only a sample
of Uio condition of mind concerning this
country and Us capablllilcs.
To develop our nallvo resources and pul
the state of Washington In the front ranli
among the states of the union , whcro she

( Mont. ) Tribune : The propo-
ivo a Montana exhibit at the
Omaha exposition has laken n new shape.
As has heretofore been said In Iheso columns
Ihero is every reason why Iho slalo should
bo represented at the gathering , and the
only drawback la the lack ot funds that
would bo necessary to accomplish the pur
pose. The genernl estimate of the cost was
about $ aO,000. and the expenditure of such a
sum at this time was out of the question.
However , Ihe committee of Omaha citizens
has called upon the legislators , and out of
Iho vUlt Good may come. The question was
not ono of willingness , but of ability and
It seems that Ihe old rule of where Ihore'a a
will Ihcro's a way , waa Invoked with good
rcsulls.
Among those who attended the conference
was Governor Smith , and In Ihe course of
his remarks he said : "It Is only proper
that our resources and wealth snouM bo
presenlcd lo Iho world. I am salhfled that
no better tlmo nor place for such advor-
tlseinent was ever offered than that made
possible by the Omaha exposition of 1S98 ,
and I think It Is the duty of this body to
jee that Montana Is represented and that Iho
rmbllc spirit of our great commonwealth be
Siven a chance lo show Itnelf. Should this
issembly see nt to make a small appropria
tion for this purpose , I am sure yonr con
stituents would endorse yonr action and that
Iho state of Montana would be- greatly bene-
rtled Ihereby. "
Acting upon this suggestion of the gov-
jrnor , the proper committees of the legisla
ture have already met and begun to devise
i plan. It contemplates a small approprl-
illon and the appointment of an officer or
commission to represent the state and to ar
range and manage details. An appeal lo
public-spirited clllzens will be made for
subscriptions , wllh the understanding that
jxpsnses will bo reduced to the minimum.
Fhls will no doubt prove successful , and
> roper exhibits will follow as a mailer of
: ourse. Ths Anaconda company has al-
eady announced Its Intention of making a
arge exhibition , and the Parrot company ,
.vhtc'a . had ono of the most InteroUIng dls-
ilays at Die World's fair , will naturally
'ollow suit. With these examples before
hern the Reston and Monlana and other
; reat corporations will surely fall In line ,
nch of. these rich concerns will pay all
he expenses connected with their d-lsplays.
\s for Ihe other resources of Iho stale , they
! .nn bo readily and creditably shown al
imall expense If there Is unllcd action on
ho part of those interested. The agrl-
iiiltural and hortlcuHural societies of Mon-
ana should take the matter In hand at
ince and arrange for a display of the pro-d
iets of the sell. Other features will be
orthcomtng , but work must be begun In
iroper time. The railroads will certainly
ill our people In Ihelr endeavors to be
issn to the best advantage , and If the legls-
alure sels Ihe ball Ira motion It will arouse
ho proper spirit among Iris people nnd MOD-
ana will make a display that will attract
13 much attention as that of any other
late.
Idaho Falls ( Idaho ) Heglslsr : The com-
ilttee of clllzens from Omaha representing
1m TransmlEslsslppl Exposition were In
loUo City yesterday. There will undoubl-
dly be some opposition to a proposition lo
lake an appropriation for the purpose of
taking an Exhibit for Idaho. There are very
BW proposition * lhat come before the legly-
llure Ihal do nol meet with opposition ,
omo people are opposed to second coming
f the Savior , but the very large majority
f the civilized world bsllevo In Ills com-
ig , and U U hoped Ihe opposition to an
pproprlatlon of sufficient amount to make
creditable display on Ihe part of this state
rill find so little opposition thai there will
o no iroublo In pcaslng It. The Rcglslor
cllovcs ths very great majority of the tax-
ayera of the utnlo are In favor of H , and !
ellovo that S10.000 would not bo a great j
mount to expend In this manner. A good |
ulldlng , costing from $6.000 to $3,000 , could
o creeled thai would bu a ciedlt to the
.ato , and when the exposition closed could
0 bold for one-fourth , at leaat , of lhat
mount , which , with the remainder of the
pproprlatlon , would make n good and credit-
tile display of th products of the stale.
lloUe ( Idaho ) Statesman : No thoughtful
tlzcn should need to be told that It would
3 a great benefit to the stale to have a
edllabhj exhibit at the exposition to be
3ld In Omaha n xt year. A senator staled , (
10 other day thai ho did not think it would
> a particle of good , Others may ay Ihe
imo thing but they can scarcely feel Just
1 they talk , because It U perfectly plain [ i
tat such an advertisement cm can bo secured i
r Iho state would bring ua a great number
settlers. The alato ncedu setllemenl , and |
can well afford lo do anything within i
anon to attract Immigration. |
If 1110.10 who are Inclined to oppose par- |
elpatlon in the exposition on the ground
nt It could accomplish no good purpose
id been In positions to observe the effect
other advertising efforts , they would be
a different opinion ,
There are multitudes of people who want
know ; about Idaho. They nro looking
r now locations and are procuring all the
formation they can respecting every lo-
llty. When some exhibit has been ninde
any point , though It may have been nothing
ere than a few caeei of goods displayed
r un Individual or firm , It has brought
flood of Inquiries. The newspapers under-
and well how ouch displays beneflt the
ate , for they are In constant receipt of
Ucrs asking for further Information about
e usctlon that produced a particular case
fruit or a particular exhibit , such as that
hlcli was cent to the Nebraska State fair
couple of years ago ,
Wo cannot hope to secure Immigration
i less we attract tbo attention of * those who
pcct to change their place * of residence ,
.her tatea are In the field bidding for the
rnpcctlvo settlers , and If Idaho la not
presented In the competition the people
ill be Induced , almost without exception ,
go elsewhere. The Omaha exposition
a been planned as a great advertUement
r the states west of the Mluaourl. It lo
Ing EO arranged , and people from all the
ntral wcxtern otatea will bo particularly
vlted to come and ees what to offered them
the west. U la from thoao status that
' - | - | VJ i\J WAV Xi\ * w
the largest portion of our Immigration must
como ; the people from among whom the
Immigration of the Immediate future will bo
drawn will generally visit ths exposition
for the definite purpow of gaining Informa
tion of the character which It la proposed
to furnish. , and those stales that are repre
sented will derive all the benefit.

Kearney Hub : Senator Ilaivfom Is becom

lesa famous for some tlmo , but his latest bid
for fame cannot be topped by nny member

Slanton Register : Whllo n great many

wo want to remark thnt they have n great

1891 did work In n rush and passed some
defective laws which cost us dearly. Wo

North Plnlte Tribune : Representative Stob-
blns of Ihls counly has Inlrodticed a bill
providing for an Inspector ot beer , wine and

Cenlral Clly Dernocrnl : There Is a bill
leforo the leglslalure lo abolish passes. This
is a good law nnd there ought nol lo bo any

sentatives could nol get free rides they would
remain at their post of duty Instead of run

Ing useful legislation Inslead of wasting the

ises they made to the people last fall.
Beatrice Democrat : Now the populist legis
lature Is getting right down to buslncra , all
questions of parliamentary procedure are dis
posed ot under Ihe Queensbery rules. In the
enforcement of one of his bills , Senator Ran
som found It neceraary to push In the face
of the clerk of the committee of the whole.
The pushing process took place In the ro
tunda of the Lincoln hotel , and was wit
nessed by the supreme court judges , the
mayor ot Lincoln and many other eminent
authorities upon pushing. The sergeant-al
arms and Ihe doorkeeper also had a flghl.
S ward Reporter : The popullsl leglslaluro
Is undertaking to regulalo everything by
stalule and by Inspeclors , as Is the habit of
populists. Ono bill introduced Is for a state
Inspector of beer. Just ! what the provisions
of the bill are we are not Informed , bul as
one Inspector could hardly bo expected to
look after and test all the beer sold In tlie
: tate , he would probably be obliged to have
leputtea In all the Important towns , say one
'or each county. The position of deputy
jeer Inspector would doubtless bo very at-
.racllve , oven al a small salary. Probably
i number of populist patriots in Seward

o take the place , but who would be the
ucky man can hardly be conjeclured.
