U According to Governor Savage, "the nka of organised labor are made up f carping agitators and walking dele gates, who sweat by proxy and eat up the earnings of their fellow workmen." The governor's conception is evidently based on the views expressed by Mer cer and Baldwin, who dictated the police commission. ' 1 s Democrats of the First Nebraska dis trict are having another lesson on the beauties of fusion, by finding it neces sary to apportion the delegates to their congressional convention on the basis of the vote for attorney general two years ago. This Is because they had no demo cratic .candidate for congress and it would never do to recognise the vote polled by the populist nominee as the democratic strength. For absurd hair splitting fusion holds the record. Edgar Howard talks right out In meet ing when he discusses the appointments to the Omaha police board, dictated by Baldwin, and Mercer, whom he refers to as , "attorneys .and procurers for ths Union Pacific." "Why should the railroads desire to control. the police boardr he asks, avi-answers that 'some railroad might want to steal a street or alley," and "sometimes strii occur among the railroad laborers, and then It Is turnly to have a police force that will aid In coeiclng the strikers." This Is certain.' rather plain spoken. AttumtH APOLOOT III OHDtR. In his insulting letter to the Omaha union of plumbers, gas and steam fit ters. Governor Savage indulges In the following slanderous comment: t lav reason to and do believe that th better element of organised labor doe not approve of your action, Just a I hare reason to and do believe that th communication forwarded me wfcs Inspired not by your or- ganlsstloa .but by ths editor of Th Dee, whose pet minions aod whoa licensed privileges hav st last been brought face to face with law and justices ' ' Taken In connection with the asser tion made In the same letter "that an effort was made to obtain the coveted positions on the commission with large Hums of money," the natural' Inference to be drawn from tho governor's screed Is that the editor of The Bee was In some manner the beneficiary of corrup tion and the recipient of licensed valu able privileges through former police commissions. --This, however, Is. not the first time that Ezra P. Savage has sought to besmirch the editor of this paper through slanderous reports and has disgraced bis office by resorting to base calumny. , , Last winter -he gave It out to bis In timates that he was preparing to ex plode a bombshell that would silence The Bee forever In regard to tho Bart ley scandal. Thereupon the following correspondence. took place: . , ,t OMAHA, March 14, 1901. Hon. Eire P. Savage: Sir I am reliably Informed that you claim to hav In your posse aalon a promissory sot, or notes, due tills or I. O. U s tearing my signature and pay able to Joseph Bart ley, or parties to whom Bartley advanced money loaned to me. . If suck papers are In your possession,-. or hav been exhibited to you by Bartley, they are downright forgeries. - I never borrowed a dollar from Bart ley directly or Indirectly. I do not owe a dollar to any failed bank la which Bart ley mad deposits, whether they were de posited legally or Illegally. I never bor rowed a penny from any bank or private concern on th strength et Bartley's favor or Influence, and 'I have never solicited such lean or asked Bartley or anybody representing him for financial assistance In any shape or manner. This also applies to The Be Publishing company and the Bee Building company. Neither of the corporations hav ever solicited ' or received any financial assist ano from Bartley directly or Indirectly. If anybody has led yon to believe other wise he Is an Impostor. ' It seems to roe that the least yon oonld do under the circumstances would be to correct the baseless reports calculated to create prejudice against m. Very re spectfully, EDWARD R03EWATER. EXECUTTV8 CHAMBER, LINCOLN, Neb., March 20, 1901. Hon. E. Roswatr, Omaha, Neb. ! Dear Sir Replying to yours Of th lfth Inst.. I beg to state that I have never said that I had In my possession nor teat I had ever seen a note, I. O. U. or any ether evidence of Indebtedness of yours to J. 8. Bartley. - Neither has he ever said to m that he ever loaned you any money, direotly or indirectly. Respectfully, H. P. 8AVAQB. The answer of Esra P. Savage, gov ernor, Is not In the ordinary typewrit ing, but In his own handwriting, and the apology was accepted, and, as a mat ter of courtesy, the Incident was never made public. It is now in order for tie governor to make another apology. It is absolutely untrue that the editor of The Bee, or anybody connected with this paper, In spired the action of organized labor with regard to the police commission. The Initiative in the matter was taken by members of the Central Labor union months ago on their own motion, and the editor of The Bee waa not taken Into the confidence of anybody con nected "Kith the Central Labor union anr. had not even an intimation that a protest had been directed to the gov ernor before the fact waa published. As to the. cutting off of alleged priv ileges, the governor shows more malice than correct information. The Bee en Joys the privilege of printing the best and moet widely circulated newspaper In Nebraska, and Its privilege rests en tirely upon the law that requires the publication of all applications for liquor licenses la the paper of largest circula tion.' For more thai twenty years The Bee has maintained Its rank as the paper of largest circulation la Omaha and Douglas county, not through the influence of police commissions or poli ticians, but on its own merit On merit and excellence alone The Bee must stand or fall as the medium of official advertising. OutUv police commlsslona of the Broatch-Vandervoort order, that refuse to Investigate .the relative circulation! of Omaha dallies, but arbitrarily rule out one paper and rule in another, do not deprive The Bee of its legitimate patronage,- but simply compel it to seek redress In the courts, and at the same time rob thai liquor dealers and drug gists by compelling them to publish In two paper Instead of one. It la to be expected that the aame performance will be repeated If the Mercer-Baldwin board retains its seat and Broatcb gets two me-toos to follow his lead, regardless of law and their official oaths. MW fltLD roft AMCH1CA. An agricultural manufacturing com pany in Pennsylvania has received an order for 18,(XX eight-horse plows to be shipped to South Aftfca. It Is sid that this Is. probably the largest order ever snt out for this Implement and it affords a very striking proof of the new turn of affairs in the country but recently traversed bj the armlea of the Boers and of Great Britain. It Is sug gested that the resumption of mining operations In South Africa will no doubt be the signal for a renewal of largo export' orders for machinery, tools and lumber to go aloug with the plows and help to rebuild the prosperity that ex isted before the land was given up to the desolation of war. - Mr. James G. 8 to we. formerly consul general of the United States at Cape town. In a communication to the New York Tribune, expresses the opinion that from now on the Increase of trade lth South Africa will surprise the most sceptical, lie says that all that is re quired for the American manufacturer and producer is a knowledge of the wants of the South African people and the most economical methods of deliv ery. Cs points out that today every thing shipped to South Africa from America Is transported in foreign bot toms. We have not a single line of our own. Every dollar received from South Africa for goods sold has to be collected through foreign banking Instl tutions. In these ways the United States is more or less handicapped, Just as It Is In regard to the trade with South America and will be In the busi ness with tlje Orient unless American steamship lines are established to Chi nese snd Japanese ports. There Is no doubt that there Is a great field in South Africa for American men ufactures if the proper effort shall be made to cultivate It but the present drawback to our taking the best adran tage of It Is in the fact that we must depend upon foreign transportation in terests to deliver our goods to those foreign markets. This Is a condition which ought to command the earnest at tention of our manufacturers and of all who are Interested in the extension of our foreign trade. The Booth African market promises to be for a long time one of the most profitable in the world and American enterprise should not fall to take advantage of It Already there Is an active demsnd there for the ma chinery which this country can supply better than any other and It is a field In which there are almost unlimited possibilities. Competition" for this great market will be active and the chief disadvantage of the American manu facturer and merchant is the fact that he must rely for transportation upon foreign ship owners. V AS AM A CANAL PROBLEM. The question of the selection of an Isthmian canal route has not yet been decided. The general judgment Is that the Panama will be the route selected and there Is no doubt that public opinion is very largely In favor of this. Yet the advocates of the other route appear not to have absolutely abandoned hope that It may ultimately be selected, rely ing upon complications, legal or other wise, to change sentiment in favor of the Nicaragua project There is no doubt that there are among our public men many who still most confidently believe that the Panama route Is abso lutely Impracticable and would place the United States at a disadvantage both strategically and commercially. Members of congress who favored the Nicaragua route are still insistent that they are right and are hoping that their view will bo adopted, either by the ad ministration or by congrees. There has been nothing developed by which It . can be confidently asserted which route will be selected. The gov ernment has yet to ascertain whether it can get an unquestionable title to the property and franchises of the new Panama Canal company and also whether it can secure from the govern ment of Colombia such concessions as are required by the act of congress. Rep resentatives of the government are now in France to learn what is necessary to enable this government to secure an absolute title and the Colombian gov ernment worried though it is with do mestic . revolution, is considering the terms upon which It shall make the re quired concessions to the United States. Thus there are problems presented the solution of which is by no means simple. So far as the first of these Is con cerned that Is, the French company's requirements there Is probably, no doubt that a perfectly satisfactory set tlement can be made. There has been nothing to Indicate that this cannot be done. With regard to the concessions required from Colombia, however, less confidence can be felt The revolution ary disturbances in that country and the upheavals that constantly menace it ren der uncertain any arrangements or agreements that may be entered Into. While it is true that the United States would be able to enforce any treaty with Colombia, it would be unpleasant to have to do this and consequently it la most desirable that absolute peace shall prevail there and that the govern ment shall be on a stable basis before any agreement Is made between Colom bia and the United States regarding the Panama canaL The fact Is now very generally recog nlaed that from a practical point of view the Panama route Is to be pre ferred, but there are conditions and cir cumstances which still cause some doubt as to whether that route will be selected. What Is the Commercial club going to do about the reduction of the railroad rates on packing house products from Kansas City without any corresponding reduction on shipments out of Omaha? la not the Commercial club the organ isation that has assumed the responsi bility of protecting Omaha against rail road discrimination, or at least protest ing against it? Does anyone Imagine Kansas City would sit silent If the situ ation were reversed with a reduction on Omaha shipments and noue on those from Kansas City? The religious and decent element of the community, whose expectatlona have been raised by the promise of police re form, will be delighted to learn that the Mercer-Kroatcb police board haa made a start of police reform by the reap pointment of officers who distinguished themselves by disgustingly scandalous performancea when previously in te service. The democratic aenators who e try ing to make capital out of tho failure of congress to come to the relief of Cuba will be up a gainst It when the Cuban matter presents Itself In the form of a treaty whose ratification re quires the consent of only the upper Louse of congress. The democrats will then have to fish or cut bJt The report of the Bureau of Insular Affairs of the War depaftment, covering what was acconupllehed In Cuba during the military oocupatlor, extending over a period of nearly fur years, is an interesting enumeration. It It included only the references to the establishment of postofflces snd School bouses snd the introduction of modern sanitation, it would be enough in Itself. Certainly no one can read It without reaching the conclusion that we hare done something for Cuba, even though some other things the Cubans wanted may have been left undone. Booker T. Washington, the great ne gro exlucator, has declared that what the negroes need most Is more active workers for the uplifting of the race and fewer self-asserting lesders. On this point however, the negroes do not differ from their white brethren, who have always been afflicted with a sur plus of generals and a plenitude of sleepy privates. In laying a wreath on the tomb of General Grant Prince Chen gives evi dence that whatever may be said about them, the Cbluese do not forget their friends. Of all Americans, General Grant was held In highest esteem by the people of the Flowery Kingdom, millions of whom doubtless have heard of no other American. The Crlala Pautl Buffalo Expraaa.

Bow th Corporation Ar Fartrta la th Stat at California Saa Francisco Chronlcl. . II will come as an agreeabl surprise to th peopl of th stat to learn that the Btat Board of Equalization, has raised th assessment of the railroads of the Stat by $15,691,118. That is to say, th Central Pacific railroad, which la bonded far $88, 000 per mil and who stock, subjeot to the mortgage, of a par value of $79,275,000, Is on of th mqt valuabl aaaets of th Southern Paclflo company, waa asseased at $17,408.53 per mil. Farm or city real el tat yielding th. aama revenue would b taxed four or flva time as high. Th South ern Pacific railroad of California, bonded for $29,186 par mile, and whose stock, owned by th Southern Paclflo company, haa an unknown but a very larg valua In addition. was aaseessed at $15,000 a mile. What It Is worth Is not known except to th experts In the office of th Southern Pocifio com pany, but that It and all other properties of that company are worth a great deal of money Is shown by th ris In th stock ef that company from about $33 par share two or thre yrtra ago, to $68.60. at which it Is now quoted In New York. This stock, substantially ail water, represents th rake off of ths octopus, after paying all obliga tions on the companies which It swallowed. The octopu Itself la not taxed at all. If the BouthavB Paclflo of California waa aa aeased aa farm and city real estate Is as sessed, r. would probably pay on about $40, 000 a rail. . Nov, this represents a condition and not a treory. While ther has been a small rlo In th assessment of Southern Paclfla company property, aome of It is accounted for by Increased mileage. Th assessment does not even approach what It should be to compare properly with th assessment of other property.

What In th name of humanity has be come of that wonderfully Interesting llttl chap, possessed of mor virtues to th square Inch than all the rest of the animal kingdom combined, th Belgian hare? Lea than a year ago he was heralded far and wld as the benefactor of the universe. Statesmen knelt at his shrine; legislators considered his needs; associations wer or ganised hearing his name; banquets . and food shows wer held In his honor; epi cure smacked their Up at th thought of him; sportsmen delighted to sing his praises; acre of valuabl land were set apart for his benefit, and fortunes awaited all who were shrswd enough to start a Bel gian hare farm. We wer told that want or hard times never could overtake us while Belaian hares wre in our midst and their com rades wer in our orchard. Tbelr flesh wm better than turkey; their fur beat seal and otter, and In disposition they were the embodiment of all that was gentle and lovely. To breed and cultivate these hares was the easiest thing out They would eat uncomplainingly whatever they could get, and two hares wer all that a man needed to start with. In order to become Independ ently rich la a very short time. Proof of this was given In an authentic statement printed about two years ago In the Argo naut of Ban Francisco. Ther It was shown. In estimating th hares' average rat of In crease, that one pair of th animal would he represented at th end of a year by twaty-tww; nit that la flv vaara. if th In crease went on proportionately, the d de scendant would number 3,309,323.

Where ar th thousaoda of tons of canned har supposed to Jtava been "put up" In Arisona and other state of the southwest? . And what about the multitude of people who, having tasted hare meat swore never te forsake It? Bow are their appetites being appeased? Th are momentous questions at th present time, when meat la dear and the landlord Is Inexorable.

It will bs a great surprise to this amiable and popular gentleman to learn that h Is guilty of pretty near every crime in th catalogue. Ponca Journal: Th fusion papers found fault with Dietrich, republican candidate for governor two year ago, becaua h drank beer. Now they are finding fault with J. H. Mlokey, th present republican candidate for governor, because he don't drink beer. It's Imposalbl to suit a fusion paper anyway, so there's no us trying. Norfolk News: Th gloom surrounding ths fusion campaign does not appear to b rolling away to any great, extent as th campaign, atate and congressional, advances, and It wpuld appear that all th republicans need to do to win a sweeping victory Is to keep reasonably awake and hold th at tention of th voters until th votes ar counted.

Central City Nonparil: Th fusion press exhibits a fondness for referring to Mr. Mickey a "Banker" Mickey.
