As an example of suspended anima tion that new market house project hlnes without peer. Omaha has several lmiortant Improve ment projects Incubating, the only ques tion being which shall hatch out first An eminent Chicago preacher boldly Asserts that club women take themselves too seriously. This Is a serious arraign ment '. When Queen WUhelmlua Is well on the way of convalescence she might take a trip to the United States as a health restorer. Nebraska's poet laureate Is billed to sing a solo at the seml-annnal jubilee of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. And for this are we poets. While their federation meeting Is on at Ixm Angeles, the Mecca toward which the club women will turn each day will le In the west instead of in the eust In all the hub-bub about the rise In the price of meat the poor sheep is left out of the reckoning Just as If mutton hnd no right to travel In the same class with beef. Another raid now by the Woman's club on the unsightly billboard ought to bring results. In the light of recent events, the time for abating the nuisance was Lever more propitious. . : Another revolutionary disturbance Is heralded from San Domingo. Our neigh boring republics on the south have to do something from time to time to let us know that they occupy a place on the map. America will be graciously permitted to fill the presidency of the big inter national steamsnip company as a re ward for furnishing the bulk of the cap ital to promote It America, appears amply able to supply both. Talk Is rife of the resurrection of the ft-proposed scheme for a single trans continental railway Joining the Atlantic and Pacific under one unified manage ment. Such a line Is sure to come some d.iy, but whether It Is ripe now Is open to question. Democratic members of the South Omaha city council want the republican mayor to let them each dictate two .appointments to positions on the mu nicipal payroll. Why stop at two? Democratic . modesty was never sup posed to be confined within such narrow limits. London papers are not pleased with the remarks of Secretary Shaw and do not hiBltate to say so. What Secretary Shaw said must have hit pretty near - - bouie or he would not be made a targe for denunciation. The secretary, how ever, will not lose any sleep over the matter. The Intimation given by the chairman ft the house naval committee that com paratlvely few of our American war ships have any fighting value will Lardly be acquiesced In by those wno ought to know the Spanish, for example, Who bat tested the flgbtiug power to their own discomfiture. Lincoln republicans are discussing the extension of their direct primary system to county as well as city nominations The prims feature of the Lincoln system Is the requirement of a majority of all votes cast to constitute a nomination.

Sterling Morton, Nebraska Las lost one of Its moat dls tlngulshrMl cltlipns. As one of the founders of the commonwealth Mr. Morton Tva a conspicuous example of It, sturdy and progressive pioneers and contributed largely to the development of Its resources. Endowed with an Indomitable will, and possessing Ht all times the courage of his convictions, Mr. Morton fearlessly expressed his Views on all public ques tions, whether they were In accord with or In defiance of public sentiment In the Kansas-Nebraska conflict he was a prououueed champion of states rights as enunciated by John C. Calhoun, re jecting and repudiating the squatter sovereignty Ideas of Stephen A. Douglas, which had fascinated the young democ racy of the north, and particularly of this section. During the war of the rebellion his sympathies were against Llni-oln and the prosecution of the war. After Nebraska hml been admitted Into the union he was the recognized leader of Nebraska democracy and so con tinued until the party had committed itself to dogmas at variance with his convictions, when he proclaimed his political Independenco, which he exer cised freely in public speech and In the press. Never popular In a political sense, and never seeking- popularity by the devices of the demagogue, J. Sterling: Morton was at all times a man of culture and positive force, exerting his talents and Influence for the elevation of the stand ard of public morals and the cultivation of the civic virtues. He despised hypocrisy and detested Imposture of very sort and often told unpalatable truths when it would have been more profitable to htm to dissimulate. He preached and taught the gowpel of work s the only safe ladder to success and fame and continued through a llre- me to practice what he preached. While he endeared himself more to the classes than to the masses, he was nevertheless a specimen of manhood that placed Nebraska on a higher plane moug its sister states. PfTOGfllCS.S IJf SOUTHERN MARKETS The chlif of the bureau of foreign ommerce makes the gratifying report that the trade of the United States in the markets of South America Is growing. He shows that this is the case Iu Brazil, in the Argentine Repub lic. Iu Chile and other countries, a number of the manufactured products of this country being now in greater demand in these southern markets than ever before and preferred wherever they have been Introduced to similar Euro pean goods. The report is encouraging, but there Is one point In it that is worthy of more than passing attention and that Is the statement, with special reference to Bra zil, that the export trade of the United States to that country never will reach Its proper development so long as our merchandise has to seek foreign bot toms. This applies equally to most of the other South American countries Nothing is more essential to the building up of our commerce with that part of the world than direct and rapid trans portation facilities by American steam ship lines and it can be confidently as serted that until such facilities are pro vided our merchants and inanufactur ers will be at a disadvantage In com petlng for the South American trade. In spite of the superiority- of most of our manufacturers over those of Europe. England and Germany, shipping their goods to South America in their own ships, enjoy a prestige that Is of very great benefit to them, while our lack of the means of direct and quick com munlcatlon is a serious handicap to us It Is remarkable that under the circuni stances we are making any progress in the South American markets, and cer talnly there could be no better tribute to the superiority of our manufactured products for which there is a demand in those markets. OCR OEfiEROVH PENSION SYSTEM. It Is a matter of general knowledge that the pension system of the United States Is by far the most gen erous in the world, but it Is not com monly understood that the annual ex' penditures of this government for pen sions are more than double the total paid by all other governments put together. Yet Buch Is the fact The amount estimated as necessary for the payment of our pensions for the coming fiscal year is 1138.600,000, a decrease of $5,500,000 as compared with the ap propriation for the present fiscal year, hut all other countries combined, as shown by a writer iu the current num. ber of the Forum, do not pay an amount for pensions equal to this. While practically there are military pension systems in all countries, in few of them are the regulations under which applications may be filed as favor able as they are In this country. In every other country a comparatively brief limit is placed upon the time in v, hlch an application can e made for a pension, while in this country soldier who incurred a wound or dls ability In the civil war forty years ago may apply for a pension, with every assurance of receiving It if he can trace the orlk-ln of a disability to his army service. Such generosity Iu the treat ment of those having a claim to pen slons Is not only unknown In any other country than the United States, but is unprecedented in all history. There are a few inluor. respects :la which some foreign governments are a little more liberal or Indulgent than the United States, but on the whole no nation ap- nronihes this in generosity to it soldiers, their widows and orphans, and yet it is not. uncommon to hear the complaint that th United States gov eminent is not doing its duty by the uulon veterans of the civil war and the soldiers of ths war with Spain. Certainly tbos who malts this com plaint cannot have carefully examined yio facts and mads- themselves ao aualuted nlU - lbs pension conditions la European countries. They cannot know that the estimated payment for pensions by this government for the coming fiscal year Is more than double the total of all other govern ments put together. Otherwise there would surely be no complaint that this republic is not sufficiently liberal to Its defenders. Nor has the end of this national gener osity been reached. Congress Is still giving pensions with a liberal hand. In many cases to persons whose claims go back to the early years of the civil war, In more numerous cases to thone whose disability Is much more recent but Is presumed to be1 due to military service. The people gladly contribute to every expenditure of this kind that is right and just. There Is no popular objection to a pension roll, however large, that Is known to le honest and fair. There Is every reason to believe that such Is its character todny and so it should continue to be. RAILWAY SAtKtr APPLIAXCVS. A statement prepared by the Inter state Commerce commission shows tlm value of the legislation requiring rail road companies to equip their cars with safety appliances. It is stated that railroad travel has been made much safer to passengers and employes of the roads since the enforcement of the law requiring the use of safety appli ances on locomotives and cars. This law went into full effect on August 1, HMX), since which time the number of acci dents has decreased 60 per cent This is a very satisfactory showing and gives promise of a still further re duction In the annual number of acci dents, as greater care is exercised to avoid them, a considerable proportion of the accidents occurring since the law went into effect being In what may be called emergency work and to men new In the sen-Ice. There was a good deal of opposition on the part of the railroads to this legislation when it was proposed, but its wisdom has been most amply demonstrated and no rail way company, It Is safe to assume, would now be disposed to return to the old system. The legislation necessitated a largo outlay by the railroads, but no doubt this has already been more than made up by the reduced number of acci dents. DECREASED RISKS AXD INCREASED RATES. In its endeavor to Justify the recent advance of insurance rates a New York Insurance Journal lays great stress upon the fact that the rates of tire Insurance are not based upon the local risk, but upon the general risk. The insurance organ declares that "towns do not In general stand by themselves and can not be rated as if they did so stand. Every year big losses may occur some where and they have to be paid for In a great part by the Insurance com pany. If the latter could always or generally tell where these visitations would fall the adjusting of premiums would be a much simpler matter than It is now. They can Judge approxi mately how much the lire loss lu the United States will be, but how much It will be In the towns and cities they can scarcely guess. Fire Insurance has to take the broud look and the range of Its work. It has to remind Utica, Nashville, Buffalo and Omaha time and again that they are not solitary excep tions, unique; that they are all related to one another; that they are more or less sharers to a greater or less extent in a common lot and that in no one of them can last year's fire be mado a measure of this year's premiums." This argument sounds very plausible, but how does it explain the rank di vergence of premiums exacted In cities east and west of the Mississippi? If every locality contributes toward the protection of all the other localities in the country, why should not all be treated alike? Why should the one class of risks In one locality pay a higher rate than the same class of risks . is paying in another locality? Why should not insurance rates be uniform In ratio to the class of structures Insured? In Omaha, for example, the Insurance agents have "pressed for more efficient water protection and a larger fire fight lng force. These demands have been compiled with, but fire rates have not been reduced In proportion to the re duced risk. Another heavy increase in Insurance rates is about to be imposed upon bus! ness men in the face of the preparations being made by the city for an increased fire fighting force and more and better tire extinguishing apparatus, which will entail an additional 1-mill levy for fire protection on the property of all Omaha taxpayers. These stubborn facts are very hard to combat by local fire insur ance agents when they appeal for patronage to the business men. The franchlsed corporations made great mistake when they sought to over throw the findings of the tax commis sioner through manipulation of the Board of Review and Board of Equalisa tion. It would be stupendous folly for them now to seek to override the man date of the supreme court They have had a soft snap for the last ten years In the matter of taxation and they should bo content with being placed on a dead level with all other classes of taxpayers. While It Is true that a large volume of taxable property Is under valued or allowed to escape taxation altogether, the fault Is as much theirs as anybody's. When all taxpayers Join the movement to enforce the letter and spirit of the revenue laws the burden will be lightened all around and the tax rate instead of being 34 mills will be anywhere from 15 to 20 miliar A copy of a photograph of the Aus trian emperor labelled "dead" has been taken from an anarchist suspect ar rested In Italy. If the anarchists would only confine their amusemeuts to killing off photographs they would soon become a harmless set and the lllus Jttlous cfowao4 ieml X Europe .would Live Nebraska Towns Falls City Favored Nebraska is an agricultural state and Us towns derive their growth and maintain heir stability from the productiveness and development of the surrounding country. Richardson county occupies the southeast corner of the slate and was one of the flrst counties to be settled. Its soil is highly productive and a crop failure has never been known. The topography of the county renders It peculiarly adapted botn to agricultural pursuits and to stockralslng. Surrounded by such a country as this. Falls City, the county seat of Richardson county, has risen to Its prevent place among Nebraska county seat towns. The city is beautifully and healthfully located upon high ground and Is typical of the ubstantlal western town that Is built upon natural resources and with a permanent prosperity reeultant from the conservative Investment of capital secured first from ths development of these resources. When the last census was tsken Falls City had a population of 3.022. and it Is fully abreast of other towns of Its size In the matter of improvements and advant ages. Two railways afford quick an.? easy transportation to Omaha, Kansas City and St. Joseph, thus giving the producers the benefit of the advantages that the markets of these cities afford and bring- . the ad vantages of metropolitan Ufa almost to the doors of Falls City homes. The people of Falls City take great pride In the educa tional facilities which the town affords. It has an excellent system of graded schools which are on the accredited list of the University of Nebraska, and the work nquestionably be glad to keep them upplied with photographic likenesses entirely free of charge. Such Innocent erslon ought to be encouratred amonor the anarchist crowd. Nelarhborly Interest. Minneapolis Journal.

Special favorites will be permitted to kiss the worshipful hand, but they will not have to kneel. We are grateful that there are soma English Institutions that never crossed the Atlantic. Hailed with Wild Dellaht. Philadelphia Press. The col'apelble table, containing decan ters and glasses, to be carried with a handle like a satchel, which has been made for King EM ward to use at- the theaters, cannot be too highly commended nor too widely Introduced. Anything that will keep king or anybody else from climbing over all the people In the row between every act to go out and lay the dust in the throat will be received with wild delight in every civilized community. Assessed Valuation of Franchises. Buffalo Express. The supreme court of Nebraska has laid down a rule for the assessment of the In tangible property of corporations which prescribes that the value of its stock In the general market must be taken as a basis. This would seem to imply that the value of a franchise must be determined by subtracting the value of tangible prop erty from the value of the corporation's stock. Such a method has been urged by some persons In this state. It would in crease greatly franchise assessments. Sowing Seeds of Trouble. Philadelphia Record (dem.). inu nf nlnwinsr ud his garden with his tiaifee nd sowing his onion and let tuce seeds Farmer Bryan is writing po litical letters and trying to sow dlsseneon among the democracy of the east. It teems likely that Mr. Bryan will never be able to forgive his fellow-countrymen ror disagree in with him. That he was wrong, and that his countrymen were right, and that all of his prophecies of the disaster wnicn wa. in fnllnw what he called "the degrada tion of sliver" have been disproved by the event, make forgiveness sun more impos iviia. Biiver is selling for less today than ever before since the day of Moses, and the market price of Bryanism has fallen In lympathy. PERSONAL NOTES. . Efforts to keep Boston on the straight and narrow path last Sunday were an Ignominious failure. Boston Is not built that way. Eaxs Martin, though totally blind since the age of 4, has been an active and useful member of the fire department or Fort Chester, N. Y., for seventeen years, "run ning with the machine" to all Ores. The late Dr. Thomas Dunn English was S man of very considerable versatility. One of his chief hobbles was mineralogy. He left a cabinet of specimens of great value and his opinions on the subject carried much weight. Dr. Meredith Clymer, the noted New York physician, is dead. His grandfather was one of the signers of the Declaration of In dependence. He was born In Philadelphia, educated here. In Paris, London and Dublin, removing to New York In 1851. George Clemenceau, who has Just been re elected to the French senate, wrote In his paper, L'Aurore,' 635 leaders of an aver age length of a column and a half, ex clusively on the Dreyfus case, a record likely to stand as an example of industry for years to come. Senators Proctor and Fry are famous fishermen. For thirty years Senator Proc tor has been In Vermont on the last night of April with fishing tacklo ready, and for thirty years at sun-up on ths 1st of May he has begun casting for speckled trout. He will be there this year. Judgment on a note against Franctszks Radmlnawlcienebarllla was given In a PltUbuig court.

The buelness portion of Falls City l well and substantially built and all lines of business are represented and the mer chants are up-to-date, and there are sev eral stores that would do credit to much larger cities. The residence portion of the city is equally well bulit and there are many pretentious residences that bespeak the prosperity of their owners. The city owns a fine system of water works and an excellent electric light plant and a local telephone company furnishes the best of service to many patrons. A fine public library has Just been opened $10,000 having been expended In providing the building anil books. The library Is the gift of the late Lydla Braun Woods of Denver.

ALLAN D. MAY. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES. Ord Journal: A. E. Cady of St. Paul has announced himself as a candidate for con gress, it will be a warm scrap for the republican nomination. Imperial Republican: While It is argued that Hon. O. W. Norrls already holds the responsible position of district Judge, yet he la the only candidate this part of the district has for congressman. If the nom ination should come to this part of the district, give us Norrls. The east part of the district has able candidates In Captain Adams, W. P. McCreary and others. O'Neill Frontier: The Frontier stated last week that Hon. W. W. Wood of Rushvllle was mentioned In connection with the re publican nomination for congress. We are reliably informed that he is in no sense a candidate for the honor. The fact Is, the north end of the district Is practically solid for Hon. M. P. Klnkald of this city, the man who above all others is capable of redeem ing in the big Sixth. McCook Republican: The flattering en dorsements from all over the district that Hon. O. W. Norrls of this city is receiving as a possible candidate on the republican ticket for congress is most gratifying to his many friends. Judge Norrls is a strong man and would undoubtedly poll the full vote of his party, as well as draw largely from the opposition. Here, at his home, he la one of the most popular men in politics. He will probably get the solid support of the county In the convention. Judging from the general opinion of the people at present. Rushvllle Recorder: M. P. Klnkald, re publican candidate for the Sixth congres sional district, of O'Neill, was In town last evening, shaking hands with his many friends. He favored this office with a friendly call, and in the course of his con versation referred to his prospects, not only of getting the nomination, but of eventually carrying the district. This Is based on his previous campaign, in which It was said If be carried the Judicial district by BOO he would carry everything. He carried the Judicial by 800 and only had 211 between him and his opponent. Kearney Hub: A special telegram from St. Paul states that A. E. Cady has Just authorized the announcement of his candi dacy for the republican nomination for congress In the Sixth district, with the ad ditional statement that he will "have the enthusiastic support of his home delega tion as well as those from a number of neighboring counties." As the list now stands we have Beeman and Good ell of Buffalo, Grimes of Lincoln, Currie of Cus ter. Cady of Howard and Klnkald of Holt. It Is a formidable list of strong men from which the conventlos cannot fall to select a winner. St. Paul Republican: Howard county re publicans will take peculiar pleasure In presenting the name of Hon. A. E. Cady of St. Paul to the Sixth district congressional convention for the nomination which It soon must make. This action has Just been authorized by Mr. Cady, who. In compliance with urgent requesta from all quarters of the district, haa had the matter under con sideration for several months. In present ing his candidacy local republicans will feel a pardonable pride on account of the gal lant race be made In . the dark year of 1896, when the free silver mania swept Ne braska and the entire west Into the demo, cratlo column, i Lynch Journal: We do not live In the Third congressional district, but It would be a pleasure to . go down there this fall and help elect W. W. Young of Stantoa to con gress. We have known Mr. Young ever since he located in Stanton, at which time ws were whittling desks in the second pri mary department. For years we have be lieved that Mr. Young ought to be In con gress snd one dsy would be sent there by the Third dlsflet. And mark the predic tion, when he gets there he will be heard from, not only back home In Nebraska, but the country all over as one of the members of real worth that has convictions on all subjects and Is ready to support them. Clay Center Sun: If there Is a man In the district held In higher esteem by both friend and foe politically than Hon. S. W. Christy we have not made his acquantanc. All know that In congress he would rep resent the entire people. His honesty Is a byword among all who know him, and but few have a more extended acquaiatancs In the state than he. His ability Is un questioned. His good Judgment In public affairs and In his profession Is universally recognized. The opposition would have reason to fear his nomination, and It la generally a pretty good thing to do what your political opponents most earnestly de sirs you should not do. v Grand Islasd Independent: The republi can candidates for the congressional nonte lnatlon In the Sixth district are a strong family. There are among the men men tioned three or four very able, very accep table men and the republicans of the district have reason to congratulate themselves. One of the best among them, one who would not only look well. Intelligently and con scientiously to the interests of his district In the halls of the bouse, but who would also reflect credit end serve well the Inter ests of ths entire state, Is Hon. A. E. Cady of St. Paul. Directly the people of the Fifth district are not iatereMed In ths outcoms. But Indirectly they are largely lntereated and his nomination would cer tainly be pleasing tc many over the stats who have bad ths opportunity to know Mr. Csdy personally and appreciate bis sterling character and worth. Fairfield News-Herald: The Edgar Post anticipated the feelings of the people of Clay county regardless of party In bringing Hon. S. W. Christy out for the nomlnatlas loo yireentUT la ooress.

Makes finest cake and pastry, light, flaky bis cuit, delicious griddle cakes palatable and wholesome. Prici Bakinu Powder Co., Chicasc. also add ' that the same feeling will be shared by the adjoining counties and largely throughout the Fifth district. Wherever Mr. Christy Is known he Is held in the highest esteem and recognized for his strict Integrity and ability; he Is profes sionally honeat and gentlemanly and per sonally of clean morals. The popularity of Mr. Christy at home Is already well known and recognized In other parts of the district and will prove a great source of strength In the campaign. The nomination of Mr. Christy will be recognition of the growing demand for clean men in positions of honor and trust, and the party that takes the lead In meeting such demand will command the respect of the best element of our citizens. Stanton Picket: A very large number of the press and the people of this district freely express the opinion that no stronger or better nomination could be made to con gress by republicans than Senator W. W. Young. His candidacy, although announced only a few days ago, has made a pro nounced and favorable Impression. 'No other candidate for any office has received as many or as strong endorsements from the press as has he. Judging from these, from what we know of his standing throughout the district and the fact that his location Is most favorable, being in the center of the dlstrlot, the chances for his nomination are the best of any can didate in the field. This is exactly what fusion politicians fear and are attempting to prevent. They admit his ability, hla uprightness, bis moral courage, hla ora torical powers all these which so admira bly fit him for the position and serve to make him a favorable candidate for his own party and a dangerous opponent for republican opposers. With such a man as the republican candidate they know that it will be the third and final race for Mr. Robinson. Let the republican convention nominate W. W. Young and redemption nt the Third congressional district becomes an assured fact. York Republican: It has always been conceded that Hon. E. J. Hatner stands among the foremost of the big, brainy men of Nebraska. When this district had the good torture to be represented by him In congress it was represented by a man whose force and ability were recognised by his colleagues, and when he spoke all listened. He attracted the attention and consideration of the people of the nation; he was an acknowledged leader, a sought after adviser among big men. He Is a man of sterling character, one who can be neither bought nor Intimidated. He Is not a mixer. He is not hall-fellow-well-met with everybody, strangers and ac quaintances alike. You have to go half way to meet him if you want to know him, and when you know him you know that you never met a more genial, gen erous man in your life, and the more you know him you will Ilka him the better. Republicans will nominate a good congressman this time. The Repub lican hopes It will be Mr. Hainer. He is better fitted for the position than any man in the district by reason of his ex perience In congress. He Is fearless and he will do what be believes to be right though the heavens fall. Such men make big names for their districts when they have a constituency big enough to place them In congress snd leave them there till they have time to accomplish something.
