The proposition of Senator Hale to
exclude- from the Hour of the United
States senntu ot-sonators who go thora
ns lobbyists ought to be adopted , though
there IK reason In doubt that it will be ,
It has been the Impression that lobbying
In the senate had become less flagrant
during the last few years than formerly ,
but .Senator Allen's statement allows that
such Is not the oase. The Nebraska sena
tor said there had been more lobbying
of late than there had been for years ,
from which It would worn that this evil
has been fully revived anil the Inference
from Mr. Halo's proposition Is that ex-
senators are thc > chief offenders. It Is
a great reproach lo these persons , but
it will bo a much greater reproach to the
senate If It shall continue lo tolerate this
ilitisn of the privilege It accords to those
who have been members of that body.
It certainly has the power to apply n
remedy If It will and there should be
no hesitation In doing so.
Undoubtedly If public sentiment could
lie expressed on the subject It would lie
'omul largely In favor of .Senator Allen's
tlna of making lobbying a crime and
It may lce ) < > mo necessary to adopt tlilu
Irastlc meansof putting an end lo It.
The professional lobbyist Is everywhere
regarded with contempt. Ills business
Is viewed as disreputable and he Is
shunned by honest and < ielf-respectlng
non , who know that their reputation
will suffer from association with him.
Why not place all who engage In lobby-
ng , whether they be ex-semtlors or not ,
n the same category , therr-by making
the business Infamous , regardless of the
men who prnt'tleo. It. or whether they
lo so casually or make a profession of
it. It Is legitimate for persons having
in Interest in legislation to make their
views and wishes known to members of
congress , and of state legislatures , but.
his can be accomplished without lobby-
ngand generally with better effect. Moat
of our legislative scandals are due to
this pernicious and utterly Indefensible
practice ami no effort should be spared
to suppress It. In this congress ought
to set the example.

The announcement that Minister
AYoodford will not leave for Spain un
til the latter part. oC July shows that
the president i.s in no hurry to change
the policy of the government in regard
to Cuban affairs , if Indeed any change
is contemplated. The fact demonstrates
the groundlessness of the reports that
have been sent , out from Washington
recently to the effect that the adminis
tration had decided upon a new eon roe
in regard to Culm which would bo satis
factory to those who desirc > the govern
ment to adopt an aggressive policy. It
lias been said that the new minister
was to be dispatched forthwith to Ma
drid , with instructions 1o press certain
proposals looking to the settlement of
the Cuban conflict upon the Spanish
government , the inference being that
the administration had determined to
force the hand of Spain , even at tha
risk of war.
The delay in the departure of Minister
Wondford disposes of all such reports
and shows that the president is still
carefully considering the Cuban ques
tion. The new minister will occupy the
time before hl.s departure In acquainting
himself as thoroughly as possible with
the situation , a task which would hardly
be necessary If the president had de
cided upon a policy. The business in-
tt-rests of the country will be glad to
know that the president Is in no hurry
In this matter that lie does not intend
to interfere with the progress toward
better business conditions by Inviting
new international complications.

Tlu-ro is significance In the statement
made In the House of Commons by Mr.
( ' 111-7.011 , parliamentary secretary for the
IH'Itish foreign' ollici ? , in reply to th
question whether Great Itrltnin proposce-
to allow the Hawaiian islands to pas ; :
into the hands of the United States
without protest. Mr. ( ' 1117.011 said thai ,
the government did not feel called upon
to express an opinion relative to th- '
circumstances out of which thu present
situation lu Hawaii had arisen , but that
It would bo the object of her mai\sty's |
government to see that whatever rights ,
according to international law , belong
to Great Britain ar.d I'.rltlsh subjects ,
are fully maintained. " The meaning of
this is that the Itritlsh government dots
not Intend to be a silent spectator of the
absorption of thu Hawaiian islands by
the United States , but will have som -
thln : : to say on- the wubject so far as
Hiltlsh Interests there are conci'rned.
It Is not probable that that government
will make it formal protest against an
nexation , as Japan has done , but there
can bo no doubt that it will lirmly in
sist upon the. fullest recognition of all
rhihU It may have by virluo of inter
national law , as well as ample guaranty
of protection for the Interests of Hritlnb
subjects In the Islands.
Wo do not know what claims the Hrlt-
Ish government can set up under Inter
national law , but It Is obvious from the
statement of Mr. Cur/.on that It has had
this matter under consideration and un
doubtedly will have a well-dellned eniM
when the time conies to act. And If
( livnt Britain may make valid demand- , '
under international law , why may not
also Germany and Portugal , who have
citizens living In the Hawaiian Island *
and having interests thereV It may
safely be assumed that whatever action
thi ) Hritlsh government shall take In this
matter , for the purpose of maintaining
its rights and those of its subjects , will
lie followed by the other governments
Interested. Kven China cannot bo ex
pected to bo indifferent to an arrange
ment which proposes to exclude her people
ple from the Hawaiian Islands and to
prohibit thixo aliendy there from enterIng -
Ing the United States a new exhibition
of Intolerance -and Insult toward the
people of a friendly nation which their
government would be fully justltled in
resenting. The protest of Japan l.i
based partly on the fact that if the Ha
waiian islands are annexed lo the United
State.s thu Japanese In the island * could
not becomu clti/.ens , as they now may of-
Hawaii. China has equally good ground
for protest In thu proposed discrimina
tion against her people ,
It is thus swii that thuru Is the possi
bility of grave complications growing
out of thltj bchuiuu of annexation. Jingo-
Ism may declare that thcie Is no danger ,
that the right of the United States to
annex Hawaii upon any conditions It
may prescribe is unquestionable' , that
there Is nothing In International law
which can Interfere with our acquisi
tion of that territory , regardless of the
rights and Interests of other nations ,
that we can throw to the winds treaties
made by the Hawaiian government
without Incurring any responsibility.
Hut other nations do not take this view
of the matter and all of them In any
degree concerned will undoubtedly de
mand that whatever rights and Interests
they or their subjects have In Hawaii
shall bo recognized and guaranteed pro *
tectlon by the United Slates In the event
of niinexatlon.
OMAHA'S SVHSTAXTIAI , UIHM'TII.
Coming events cast their shadows be
fore. The positive assurance that the
world renowned firm of Armour and
Company will at once begin to build a
great meat packing plant at South
Omaha marks the beginning of a new
era of advancement , not only for the
city of Omaha , but for the great agri
cultural region tributary to this city. It
is the consummation of the long-cher
ished project to make Omaha one of
the greatest centers of the meat packing
Industry In the world.
The promoters of the Omaha stock
yards were from the outset convinced
that the heart of the corn belt would
eventually become the most available
location for marketing , slaughtering and
distributing the millions of cattle , sheep
and hogs annually raised and fed In
the valleys of the Mississippi and the
Missouri. It was also apparent to them
that tile great cattle ranges of the moun
tain states would tlud their most con
venient outlet at the point where thu
supply of meat products was Inexhausti
ble , and at the same time accessible by
the great transportation lines. K.xpcrl-
ence has taught the lesson that the live
stock market tends steadily in the di
rection of the wheat and corn country.
Thirty years ago , when , the Ohio valley
was the principal agricultural region of
America , Cincinnati was familiarly
known as 1'orkopolis. The westward
trend of migration and the opening up
of the great west , the raising of wheat
and corn , has transferred the live stock
industry from the Ohio valley beyond
the Mississippi. Cincinnati gave , way
to Chicago as America's 1'orkopolis. As
Cincinnati gave way to Chicago , so
eventually must Chicago divide the Held
wltli Omaha anil Kansas City.
The enlargement of the meat packing
facilities of South Omaha by the estab
lishment of thu new Armour plant
hastens Omaha on to its manifest des
tiny. It not merely places Omaha on a
more equal footing with Chicago and
Kansas City as a competitor for the
cattle trade , but it is sure to result in
the location'of ' factories that will utilize
the by-products of thu packing houses.
Developed to Its full scope it means for
Omaha a score of large and small work
shops and mills that will convert the
raw materials into llnishud products. It
means permanent employment for thou
sands of workingmen and women at
remunerative wages and the consequent
circulation of millions of dollars among
our merchants and shopkeepers. It will
create n demand for more dwellings ,
stores and olllces , and that means a
revival for the building trades , always
a source and accompaniment of pros
perity.
The popocratlc postmaster of Lincoln
Is trying to explain thu reduction of his
salary , based on the business of his
ollice , on the failure of the republican
state committee to purchase all
their postage stamps of him. This
may be some consolation to the
postmaster , but It will hardly wash with
the public. It wa.s only accident that
the republican state headquarter were
fixed at Lincoln , and the postolilce there
had no more claim on Its business than
those In any other jxirt of the state.
On the other hand , Lincoln was the home
of the popocratlc presidential nominee
and wa.s the center from which a lar ; : ' . '
part of his correspondence was handled.
If any one ought to have helped out the
Lincoln postmaster with political postage
it should have been his favored candi
date for president. There are some1
things that are better unexplained.
The declaration of the AVorld-IIorald
that Henry Holln wa.s honest after he

can bo understood In the light of thu
debit slip of the owner of the AVorhl-
Ilerald that was found In the city's cash
drawer , indicating where Hie missing
money had gone. The sympathy of thy
World-Herald for ex-Treasurer Hartley
can ho understood In the light of the
loans which the owner of that paper
onjoy.-il by his favor. Hut the World-
Herald has not yet explained what was
the bond between It and the Impeached

There are 7,350OCO members of fraternal
and benevolent orders lu the United Slates ,
and when It is considered that at the last
presidential election , afttr a campaign of
great vigor and .Intensity , the total vote
cast In all the states -of the count- ? ; ' was
1-1,000,000 , it Is to bo seen that thc-so or
ders , admission to which Is usually limited
to citizens and is practically restricted to
thuso In good health and capable under the
law of entering Into contracts , constitute u
very Important portion of the population of
the country.
' There nro now nearly 1,000,000 Frec-
ma.ions in the United Statea , more than
800,000 Odd Fellows , and mlly 500.000 mem
bers of Ihat extensive organization , the
Knights of 1'ytlilas. The development of fra
ternal organizations has been greatly stimu
lated of fate by the extension of a system
of "sick benefits" or weekly payments to
Indigent members during illness and by the
application of all Improvements In life In
surance. In this wiy the Insurance business
of tliciae societies his been vastly Increased ,
and the payment of endowments and guar
antees made prompt and certain , which was
not always the rule with some companies
In the early stages of the development of life
Insurance.
Still another reason for the Increase of
Iheio orders Is the fact that , profiting bj
the experience of other times , their leaders
have sedulously kept iliom "out of politics , "
and away from conlllelci arising from politics
or religion. They have been run on a
strictly business principle , with the general
aim of enabling thrifty members to be of
financial sorvlco lo each olher. The Ancient
Order of Foresters , for Instance , which two
years ago celebrated the one hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of Its establishment , had
a fmi.1 of ? 2S,000,000 , and the Ancient Order
of United Workmen , which has a member
ship In excess nC 350,000 , dlsbuiie > l last year
moi'o than $7,000,00 without curtailment of
its credit.
Among the Jewish orders of the United
States there has been a large Increase both
In number and membership , and this was
chown at the convention of the Free Sons , or
the Free Sons of Israel , as they arc moro
technically called , at the Auditorium in Chi
cago. This Jtwlsh benevolent order , estab-
In 1S41 , holds a convention each flflli
year for the election of officers , and , as ap
pears from the report of the grand master ,
Mr. llArbuigrr , the order lias now 102 lodges ,
distributed throughout thOBu states In which
thu JoiU.-di-Amerlcan population Is large , and
it has disbursed In all the sum c ! $0,000,000
and has now n ournlua fund of ? 1 000,000 In
addition. As a guarantee for honest admin
istration of BO vast a fund it la suggested

and the cost of such bond to bo defrayed by
the order. It appears that , iilnco tlio last

members liavo bc ; ii ulcclcd lo Judicial posls
of Importance , cue of the executive committee ,
Philip Stein , t'elng now n judge of the BU-
purlor court In Chicago , and another member
of the executive jfpiiijnltlco , Joseph IS. New-
burger , having beefl elected In 1S95 a Judge
of the court of general seesllons lu thl I
cl'.y. The corchidliuC paragraph of the ad
dress read In Chicago on Tuesday wa a
quotation , of porliuio .lo Iho occasion of. Iho
convention , from an address delivered by
fiforgo Washington lo a Jewish congregation

Chicago Journal ( rep. ) ; Th * Iowa com-
ilnatlon of democrats , silver republicans and
lopultsts didn't receive much fncourftgrincnt
nst fall , but It sounds A warlike note now.
Is platform Is a leoson In vigorous do-
innclntlon and a warning to politicians to
be less profuse In their promltrs.
Ottumwft Courier ( rep. ) : Judging from his
remarks before the convention , Mr. WHUo
must bo n very absent-minded man. Other
wise ho must have remembered that not
nnny months npo the si-ntlmpntn which he
now voices were paused upon by the voters
) f this district. The decision was rendered
in no ambiguous lerms. Surely Mr. White
las not entirely forgotten Us Import.
Chicago Tlmcs-Horald ( rcp.J : As a
vigorous pounder of the calamity tom-tom
nandldnto White Is probably without an equal
In the western country. Neither Mr. Ilryan
nor Mr. Debs U such a master of the art of
excoriating the prosperous or l.impoonlnt ; the
frugal. For those- who , by dint of much In
dustry , frugality mid deprivation , have suc
ceeded hi accumulating a goodly portion of
this world's pioOs to provide against the
iliy of want or misfortune , Mr. White has a
piofound contempt that tlnds expression In
much choice contumely.
Chicago Post ( rep. ) : Fred H. White , the
successful nominee , Is described as A "fiery
orator" and "Intense thinker. " A Maniple of ]
his oratory was enjoyed by the national
democratic convention last ye.ir. Ho may
not bp over-rich In Ideas , but his rxuber.inco j
and spread-eagleism and emotionalism nro i
|
moro potent with those who love "Intense"
thinking. Wcro their thinking somewhat less | ! i
Intense Ihey could not fall to perceive that I 1
the people are weary of Ihe free coinage
agitation and that they have tacitly resolved .
to give the victorious p.irty and policy a fair
trial.
Sioux City Tribune ( dem. ) : Wlilto never '
broke with the Cleveland administration
until It failed In appoint him pension agent
at DCS Mollies. That failure of his ambition i
changed his nature npparently , as well as his j ;
political course. Men who had helped him j
until that contest , but who committed themselves - ! J
selves to other candidates then , ho treated
with furious harshness , and ho has not for
given them yet. This shows his lack of ex
perience in the world of politico at le.ist
testifies to the intensity of his nature and
Urn loneliness ot his life- . Ills antecedents are
Just such ns to produce a fit candidate for a
campaign ot frenzy.
Iowa City Republican ( rep. ) : One year ago
we decided by almost 70,000 plurality that i I
lowr.'s national politics should be protective
tarliT and sound money. Do the free sliver : !
fiislcnlsls think those principles to bo Ic&n | i
beholden to the people of Iowa than they , |
xu-ro a year ago ? Hast anything happened j
In the meantime to render them less worthy i
Ihan Ihpyvere ? We believe not. Wl'.h j
business dally improving , with the prices I
for the products of agriculture steadily ad- .
vnclng , with the national treasury Hrm and I
the pledges of the republican party sue- j
ccssively receiving fulfillment wti bellevo
that the voter. ' of Iowa will but repeat In n I I
more pronounced tone the history ot the last
campaign.
C dar Haplda Republican ( rep. ) : Fred
White sounded the battle cry of the nopo-
cra'.lc forces In bis calamity speech when ho
thundered Into tha cars of Iho assembled
flalists that "the condlllons throughout our
country nro not only not satisfactory , but
deplorable ; not only deplorable , but actually I
alarming , and are becoming more alarming
with each succeeding day. " Evidently wo j I
are to have a repetition of the calamity howl.
ing of the last campaign perhaps In a more
Intensified form. Such men ns White ,
Weaver and "Calamity" Weller arc going ID
make another endeavor to make people be-
Hove thai Ihey are getting nearer and nearer
the noor house , that buslneoa Is paralyzed ,
thu country going to the dogs and that the
only salvation is to put In olHco men of Iho
Weaver and Weller stripe xvhoso only
recommendation is nn ability to howl and a
belief In the free coinage of silver.
Davenport Democrat ( dem. ) : Personally
Fred White , who has been nominated for gov
ernor by the sllverbacks of tbo state , It not
an objectionable man. That Is to say , be
wag a soldier who fought long and hard for
his country , and ho has a private character
without reproach. 'Hut ' these qualities did '
not Imvo any weight among the triple convention -
vention delegates who made him their can-
dliMlc. Ho Is an uncompromising sllvcrltu ,
ono who shows no favor to those who do not
accept bis peculiar notions. Mr. White
stands for some Ideas of Ills own , but inrstly
for Ihoso of Jlm-Weaverlsm and V/alt-
Rullerlsm. He could not do much as gov
ernor , even If elected , to carry out his crazy
financial views , but he could make Iowa
notorious as Colorado was under the ad
ministration of Walle. He Is for revolu
tionizing the currency ; for miking bad
matters worse in every way. He is con
servative In nothing ; radical In everything.
His advisers would bo those who have
secured his nomination.
