CESTItAI, STATE UUHTISO VIM ST.
Governor Dietrich's message to tho
legislature on the mutter of providing
a control lighting plant for tho uses of
the several state Institutions located
at the capital Is a very timely docu
ment. The absolute necessity of recon
structing the penitentiary, and the need
of repairs at the other buildings, to
gether with the Intended installation of
additional electric apparatus iu counec
tlon with the engineering and meehanl
cnl department of tho university, form
happy combination of circumstances to
nrguo In favor of tho governor's sug
gcstlon.
In the message the governor sets out
a nit her startling condition of affair
as regards the management of tho
buildings. The extravagance In tho
matter of lighting alone Is astounding,
Iimi detailed statement It Is shown that
the state Is at present paying ?20,S0U
annually for light nnd power services
afforded by tho contractors, but whlcl
under the plan proposed will cost but
?10,I00 annually, thus effecting a sav
Ing of moio than Co per cent. Not
only will tho state be the gainer by more
than half of the present cost of light
and jKiwer, but It will Imvo the ad
vantage of owning the plant. Tho lo
cation of tho plant at tho university
will add to the equipment of that lu
stltutlon, Increasing both Its capacity
and elllcloncy. Tho details of the plan
hnvo been worked out by a member of
tho university engineering faculty, and
are therefore exact as to the cost of In
stallatiou nud expense of maintenance,
One of tho most powerful Incentives
for locating the several state Instltu
tlons nt Lincoln was tho economy that
would result from tho lessened cost of
management duo to their being elus
tercd at n central point. To light the
capltol, university, hospital nnd prison
and to furnish power for nil from one
central plant owned by the state, is
merely carrying out the original Idea of
tho legislators who voted to establish
these state Institutions at Lincoln.
Governor Dietrich's suggestion Is a
good one, sound lu every aspect, and
should bo acted upon by the legislature
without delay. Tho saving in annual
expense to tho state will cover tho
original cost of tho plant In five years,
nud tho great advantage of having the
service owned nnd controlled by the
state authorities Is of Itself sutlicieut
compensation, were there no other
reason for adopting tho suggestion.
TB TIES THIS ISaiDEST.
There are contradictory reports re
gardlng tho situation at Tien Tsln.
According to some of tho London mi
pers tho dlillculty between the Hritish
and Russians has been arranged, but
tho Ilrltlsh Foreign otllce had no such
information yesterday nnd It was
doubted by tho ofllclais. A. dispatch
from tho scno of tho trouble reports
no abatement of excitement and anxiety
and a statement made by it member
of tho Hritish government In the House
of Commons showed that there has
been no change in tho situation, though
he said Unit no disturbances were an
ticipated.
While to nil appearances tho dllll
culty Is serious, It will undobtcdly bit
amicably settled, for It must bo as
sinned that neither tho Hritish nor the
Husslan government Is disposed to allow
so trilling it mutter us this to Impair
friendly relations. It "would seem that
thero ought to be llttlo trouble in do
termlnlng to which government China
llrst granted the concession of the land
In dispute and obviously the proper
course would be to submit the question
to n disinterested arbitrator. Wars
have spruug from circumstances quite
as trivial as this, but the two great
nations concerned are not likely to
permit this question as to which one
of them belongs a strip of land for a
railroad siding to plunge them into
hostilities. .
OESEUAL ll'OOU ESDUIWED.
Reports' that the Washington adminis
tration wns displeased with the manage
ment of affairs In Culm by Governor
General Wood are denied by Secretary
Hoot, who states that tho administration
has entire conlldcnce in General Wood
and that his recent course .In connection
with tlm constitutional convention had
been reported quite favorably to Wash
ington. Tho secretary of war further
said that the president and ho approved
General Wood's action up to this time.
Criticism of General Wood's course
has come chiefly from the Havana corre
spondents of American newspapers.
No Cuban of prominence and responsi
bility, ko far as wo have observed, has
found serious fault with tho governor
general's management of affairs. On
the contrary ho has been frequently and
heartily commended by leading Cubans.
I'he Philadelphia Ledger recently pub
lished a letter from a prominent citizen
of IVnnsylvnnia who had visited Culm,
in which he spoke In the highest terms
of General Wood and said that he had
fouinl him very popuhtr with tho Intel!!-
gent and substantial people of the Island.
It has been asserted by some of the
orrospondents that General Wood
Ither Is not well Informed as to the
eal conditions iu Cuba or has mlsrep
eseiited them to Washington. Molng
In constant contact with the political
leaders lu tho Island there Is not a
reasonable doubt that tho governor gen-
ral Is thoroughly acquainted with tho
state o,f affairs and the Washington ad
ministration Is satisfied that these have
been accurately reported, lu all that
General Wood has done In connection
with tho constitutional convention he
has undoubtedly acted under Instruc
tions from Washington, so that' If any
mistuKo lias been made It Is properly
lmrgeable to tho Washington authori
ties and not to tho governor general of
Cuba. Tho accusation ngalnst General
Wood that ho lacks tact and diplomacy
Isliot sustalued by the facts, though It
Is a fact, entirely to his credit, that his
management of affairs has been marked
by nono of tho trickery nnd duplicity
cominouly characteristic of diplomacy.
Ho has never attempted to deceive or
mislead the Cubans, but on the con
trary has at all times dealt with them
fairly and frankly.

Secretary Hay, It appears, lias con
suited a number of congressmen In re
gard to renewing negotiations with
Great Hrltalu on the isthmian nana
question, his latest conference being
with Senator Morgan. Tills Is a gratl
fylng Indication of tho desire or pur
pose of tho secretary of state to make
another effort to secure a treaty wltl
Great ltrltalu which will enable the
United States to go on with tho con
struejlon of an Intemceanlc canal with
out any danger of friction between the
two governments, which would very
likely occur with the Chiyton-Hulwet'
treaty lu full force and effect, as It Is
now conceded to be by our govern
metit.
If something Is not done lu this mat
tor by diplomacy before the meeting of
congress next Doeoihbcr It Is extremely
probable that the Nicaragua canal bill
will be promptly passed nud a resolu
tion adopted declaring tho Clayton
Hulwer treaty abrogated. Such notion,
It Is not dllllcult to understand, might
produce a very grave complication and
It Is manifestly most expedient and do
slrablo that the administration shall
make an earnest effort to avert this
Tho Hritish government, lu Its answer
declining to accept the amendments to
the Hay-I'auncetoto treaty, clearly lu
dlcntcd a willingness to renew negotla
tlons, but tho Initiative must Is; taken
by this government. Thero Is appar
ently no good reason why It should
not Invite a renewal of negotiations,
though the fact must be recognized that
conditions now art! necessarily less
favorable to reaching an agreement
than when the Ilny-l'auncefote treaty
was negotiated.
Doubtless sooner or later-Great Hrlt-
alii will consent to the abrogation of
tho Clayton-Hulwer treaty, but she will
nsk something In return therefor. I'ps
slbly In consideration of abrogating the
treaty she would nsk concessions re
gardlng some of tho questions at Issue
between the United States and Canada,
and If so it might not bo found very
dllllcult to roach a satisfactory under
standing. At all events, R Is gratify
ing to know that our State department
is giving tills matter tho attention
which Its great Importance merits and
It Is very much to be hoped Hint u wny
yvlll bo found for the reopening of ne
gotiations with a promise of success.
The debate oh tho Omaha bills at Lin
coln developed the fact that tho ob
jectors were speaking rather for them
selves than for the citizens. The
Omalia charter needs amendment lu
several respects lu order to free It from
dcud and Inoperative clauses and these
will lie made. As lias been set out iu
The Hoe at length, tho changes nro only
such us have been dictated by expert-
nee or decisions of tho courts. They
Imvo been prudently prepared, nnd af
ford ample protection to all Interests.
Tho paving amendment merely takes
away tho power of the perpetual ob
structionist to prevent public- Improve
ments, but does not deprive tho prop
erty owner of any of his rights. The
lire and pollco board amendment does
not give tho mayor or tho board any
power they are not now clothed with
tinder tho ordinance fronting tho board.
The same Is true of tho other amend
ments. All tho howl about tho asphalt
trust and the danger to tho chief of tho
lire department Is tho veriest buncombe.
