As If not satiated with tbe results of

New Jersey has not yet announced
what it proposes to do to fortify Itself

It Is a safe bet that no $1,000 bills

Tbe lieutenant governor of Missouri

The success of the president in eluding

From the strenuous efforts making to

The paramount Issues of the campaign
ore equitable taxation, municipal own
ership and home rule. While the can
flldates of nil parties stand on platforms
pledging them to favor municipal own
ership and equitable taxation, the tax
payers must take these promises and
pledges for what they are worth. The
pressing n?ed of the hour Is more light
and less lient. '
The n;en who ore vitally concerned In
the growth find prosperity of Oiuaha
should divest themselves ns far a pos
sible of factlouil and partisan preju
dice and bitterness In determining for
themselves and for the whole commun
ity where they should put their trust.
Until the law of gravitation Is abro
gated, the st rerun will never rise above
Its source. Political candidates are
rarely above the level of the common
uinss that constitutes their party.
In the present municipal campaign
the rank and file of the republican party
is represented by Frank E. Moores and
the rank and file of democracy by E.
Howell, and one of these two men
will be the next mayor of Omaha. The
ntrUBlon of the .pseudo-populist candi
date 1 a diversion gotten up In the In
terest of the democratic candidate,
backed by the corporations. That fact
s manifest to fill Intelligent observers.
No amount of noise and vituperation
can deceive anyone conversant with tbe
situation that Benson has not a ghost of
chance of election. As a pretended
populist Benson baa no following and no
petition candidate was ever elected In
Omaha or Is likely to be in the year
1903.
The level-headed taxpayer, whether
he be a real estate owner, a manufac
turer, a mercbant or a wageworker
should propound to himself these ques
tions: 1. Is there any hope or chance for
municipal ownership under a mayor
who Is In advance mortgaged to the
fmnchlsed corporations?
2. Is there any prospect of equitable
taxation from a hoard of Review dic
tated by the corporations?
3. Is there any hope for local self-
government from nn administration
dominated by alien corporations?
4. Are the taxpayers and property
owners of Omaha willing to sacrifice
and lose all they have fought for during
the past two years to gratify factional
spite and pers6nal dislike? Are they
willing to cut off their noses to spite
their faces?
r it lex or tub meroer Decision.
Will the great corporations control the
people or will the people control the
great corporations? That question was
tersely propounded for the first time In
the historic campaign that culmi
nated In the adoption of the present
constitution of California and tho elec
tion of Newton Booth In March, 1875, to
the United States senate. Nine years
later congress made the first serious at
tempt to regulate railroad traffic by the
enactment of the Interstate roinmereo
law. ' "
Up to that time railroad managers and
railroad attorneys persistently resisted
every effort at national railroad regula.
tlon. When the editor of The Bee ap
peared before tbe committee on com
merce of the lower house of congress In
1888 Jn support of the Regan bill, that
furnished tbe basis of the Interstate
commerce act, representatives of the
railroads Insisted before the committee
that railroads were private property and
that congress might as well undertake
to regulate the price of bread or the
price of groceries and hardware, as to
regulate freight rates or prescribe re
strlctlons to Interstate traffic.
Now th United States court of ap
peals declares in Its recent Northern Se
curities merger decision that congress
has not merely the right to prohibit un
Just and unreasonable rates, but the
right to prohibit such an ownership of
competing railroads as by destroying
competition tends to produce unjust and
unreasonable rates.
That the enunciation of this principle
will have far-reaching consequences is
a foregone conclusion. While the rail
road systems embraced In the Northern
Securities merger will doubtless con
tlnue to be operated on tbe community
of Interest plan under reciprocity traffic
arrangements, the dissolution of the Se
curltles company and tbe rescension
of the stock Jobbing and bond Jobbing
deals by which the Burlington ceased to
be an Independent, self-governing sys
tem, will have a most salutary effect
Whether the courts so declare or not,
the Issue of bond In exchange for stocks
either at a ratio of two to one or dollar
for dollar Is fraught with danger to the
American people. Tbe conversion of
stocks Into bonds Is a far greater
menace to the American people than
the consolidation of competing lines of
railroad.
The merger decision by which the Bur
llngton rond is to be cut loos? from the
?rtat Northern and Northern Pnclfic
recalls the fact of a preceding lawless
merger nearer home. Section S of nrtl
cle xl of the Constitution of Nebraska
reads as follows:
No railroad corporation or telegraph
company shall consolidate It stock, prop
erty, franchises or earnings In whole or t
pert with any other corporation or tele
graph company owning a parallel or com
petlng line.
In the face of this specific coustltu
tloual prohibition the Burlington St. Mis
sourl River Railroad company absorbed
the stocks, property and franchises of
the Atchison & Nebraska railroad, which
was parallel to the Burlington road, and
as a natural consequence of this merger
the people on the line of the Atchison
& Nebraska have been deprived of all
the benefits of competition. ' And yet,
wheu this flagrant violation of the con
stltutlou was brought directly befo
the supreme court of Nebraska, that trl
biin?l sanctioned and upheld the uueon
Ultutional merger In a decision that
I will stand unique among Us variegated
Interpretations and Interpolations of the
constitution of Nebraska.
But this extraordinary decision has not
abrogated the constitution. Sooner or
later the Issue that was decided In fuvor
of the Atchison and Burlington merger
will be re-opened. If not In the state court
In the federal courts, and If the Northern
Securities decision fhall be sustained by
the s-iprenio court of the United States
tlie deal by which the Atchison & Ne
bttisk:! was. swept from the map may
be annulled, as It should have been iy
the state court had it hewed to the
line In conformity with the plain pro
visions of the constitution.
DCASOA-THl' OVSIXKSH MAX.
Erustus A. Benson has been presented
to the citizens of Omaha as a candidate
for major on the ground, that Omahu
needs a business administration by a
successful business man. Up to date,
however, the Benson boomers have not
specified what enterprise Mr. Benson
has ever conducted successfully and
when and where he earned the reputa
tion of n successful business man.
Mr. Benson has lived in Omaha about
fifteen years and during that period he
has been Identified with various proj
ects and business concerns. His Intro
duction Into Omaha was that of a
promoter and real estate boomer and In
that capacity he was associated with
the somewhat notorious firm of C. E.
Mayne & Co., which after a great
splurge collapsed like a balloon aud left
several hundred wrecks as the natural
product of its work and operations.
Mr. Benson was a stockholder and
director In the Nebraska Savings bank,
which concern also collapsed, leaving
a very large amount of wreckage. If
memory serves us right, Mr. Benson
was a stockholder and director In the
Consolidated Coffee company, and that
enterprising firm also shared the fate
of the Nebraska Savings bank, and still
another bank with which Mr. Benson
was identified. Mr. Benson's connec
tion with other defunct enterprises does
not warrant the claims made for blm
a successful business man, but
rather the contrary.
Whether these repeated failures and
the frequent miscarriage of his plans
may all be chargeable to a lack of busi
ness qualifications or lack of Integrity
on the part of his associates is yet a
mystery. Whatever may have been the
cause, Mt. Benson can scarcely be
pointed out ns one of the successful
business men of Omaha. Incidentally
we may be pardoned also for express
Ing the doubt as to whether Mr. Ben
son would, If elected as mayor, give
Omaha any more successful business
administration than he has given to
private enterprises that have flourished
and passed away.
THE COLORED RACK PROBLEM.
W think that nearly everybody will
agreo with the view expressed by ex
'nsldent Cleveland in regard to tho
roblem respecting the colored race. Mr
Cleveland declared himself to hi the
r end of the colored man and to deslro
bis education and intellectual improve
mcnt That is what every man should
wish and seek for. Tbe Intellectually
cultlvatcel negro Is the man who will
make a good citizen and without such
education the colored man can not be
depended upon to discharge his obllga
tlons as a citizen. He will be simply a
creature in the hands of the white man
following not his own Judgment, but
that of the person whose influence con
trols blm.
The Intelligent colored man of the
north Is an independent man, casting
his vote according to his judgment. He
Is very generally a republican because
he recognizes what that party has done
for bis race, but he is not absolutely
bound to that party ar.1 there are many
colored men who vote the democratic
ticket. Mr. Cleveland was entirely right
In urging that the colored race should
be educated and that It Is the duty of
our people to do all that Is possible to
promote the Intellectual advancement
of the negro. In that Is to be found the
only real and certain solution of the
great race problem which confronts tho
country.
TBK SILVER COMMISSION. .
About the middle of next inonth the
commission appointed by President
Roosevelt to go to Europe with a view
to Interesting the governments in the
question of arranging a policy of ex
change between silver and gold will
take Its departure. The Importance of
this movement Is perhaps not generally
appreciated. It means a change of con
dltlons in the tlnanclul world that will
have effecto of a far-reaching nature and
may result In absolutely altering the
relative financial powers of the two con
tinents. It Is by no means Improbable
that as an outcome of the financial trim
factions that will result from what Is
now pending, the city of New York
rather than Loudon will become the
financial center of the world and the
great arbiter of the value of exchange,
as London has been for centuries.
Thero is very good reason for bellev
Ing that this will be the case. As mat
ters now stand there la no question that
New York Is the commanding Influence
In the stock markets of the world.
every mart the course of the Wall street
market Is the barometer by which every
other market is Influenced and deter
mined. At London, at Berlin and at Paris
the quotations on the New York Stoc
exchange ore a controlling factor. They
determine values and dictate the course
of speculation. Whatever Is done In
Wall street furnishes the cue for what
Is to be done abroad and there Is never
a day that the Influence of the New
York market Is not felt.
It Is In this respect that the silver
coir:mlstlon will find lu Its foreign In
quiry a promising chance of accomplish
ing what It alms at. Thin, It should be
tnderstond. Is not the rehabilitation of
sliver, but rsther the strengthening of
the gold standard. Tbe purpose In view,
even by the Mexican government. Is
not to put silver money to the front,
but to steady its currency by making
Its silver coin still more subject to the
authority of gold as the standard of the
commercial world. The policy even of
Mexico aud also of China Is to get Into
concert with the gold standard coun
tries, that being manifestly the only
way In which the progress and pros
perlty of those countries, Industrially
and commercially, can be advanced.
The commission appointed by Presi
dent Roosevelt is composed of men who
are thoroughly familiar with the subject
and who can be depended upon to pre
sent it to the European governments In
thoroughly lntelllg?nt manner. There
Is good reason to believe that the re
sult will be entirely satisfactory.
QUOD HOADS PHUMOTIOX.
The movement for the promotion of
good roads Is making steady progress
nd there Is good reason to think that
wllhln the next few years we shall wit
ness n developuiVnt In this direction
that will be of Immense benefit to tin;
country. The legislature of Pcnnsyl-
ania has just passed a bill that appro
priates ?!l..")00,000 for rond Improvement
throughout the state for the next six
eor8 and It Is not difficult to under
stand what this will result In for the
farmers of that state, as well as for the
tliousonds of people who will be given
tniplcyinent In the building of the roads.
In the last week of the present month
there la to be held at St. Louis an in
ternational convention for the promotion
of good roads aud a number of promi
nent men will make addresses uf the
convention, among them Presido.it
Roosevelt. Undoubtedly this coavontlon
will exert a great deal of Inilueuce In
behalf of the policy for which It Is
called and It Is needless to pay tliiit
whatever can be done for the promo
tion of good roads Is worthy of the moist
earnest encouragement. The good roads
movement Is one of those entirely prac
tical matters thnt means benefit for the
ntlre country and Is worthy of the
heartiest support of everybody.
One member of the Philippine com
mission expresses the opinion that the
administration of Justice iu the Philip
pine Islands Is substantially ns good as
It Is In any state In the union. This Is
saying a greot deal, yet It must be ad
mitted, however humiliating, that the
administration of Justice In many states
of the union could be wonderfully Im
proved without great effort at that.
The Filipinos have tbe advantage, ap
parently, of our forms of Judicial pro
cedure and the groundwork of our law
as transplanted for them, without the
abuses that have grown Into the system
here. We may yet learn something
from the Filipinos about the administra
tion of Justice and effective suppression
of crime and lawlessness.
The discovery has been made that
losses to the extent of approximately
$100,000 have been sustained by the
state school fund of Indiana from bad
loans on real estate security. Nebraska
had Its experience with land mortgage
loans of Its school money the first few
years of its statehood, with a similar
result that thousands of dollars loaned
out were never repaid. The revised con
stitution of Nebraska put a perpetual
stop to this practice by prohibiting the
Investment of the school fund except In
specified securities, from which real es
tate mortgages are excluded. Nebraska
perhaps shut the door too tight, but In
diana evidently would do better to profit
by Nebraska's experience as well as Its
own.
English railroad experts examining
our railway systems are expressing
amazement at the enormous sums
American companies are expending for
Improvements. They might with equal
propriety express amazement at the stu
pendous cheapness of the original con
struction of our railroads as compared
with European roads which has made
It necessary practically to replace them
to meet the demands of modernized
traffic. Had. American railroads been
more substantially built In the first
place, they would not need such costly
Improvements now.
Remember, that at the republican
primaries, In spite of a gerrymandered
apportionment, In spite of election
boards notoriously packed against him,
In spite of corporation boodle, In spite
of the Boatch police club. In spite of
the secret dark lantern cabals, Frank
E. Moores carried five out of eight con
tested wards In the city and 73 out of
143 delegates In the convention. His
renominatlon was voted at the polls by
the rank and file of the party. Men
have a right to bolt, but they have no
right to Invent false excuses for their
bolting.
Our German friends are trying to
conjure np nn Insult to themselves out
of the fact that Uncle Sam declined an
Invitation to send his fleet to Kiel, but
let his ships visit Marseilles, where
they Joined In the salute to President
Loubet If America were wantonly
discriminating In favor of France as
against Germany, the latter might have
cause to fly Into dudgeon, but the facts
hardly warrant the charge. If worse
conies to worst, The Hague tribunal
might be called In on a request to arbl
trate.
The railroads are arranging special
trains to bring ieople In from the sur
rounding country rt several points
where the president Is to stop on his
way from the Yellowstone to 8t. Louis.
What are they going to do In this direc
tion to accommodate people who would
be glad to visit Omaha at the same
time that President Roosevelt visits us?

"Financee" Is a good word and ought to

In search of rich heiresses, which many of

shall we classify her?

"She knew her theater, she knew her

Democratle Tariff Threat.

David B. Hill, In a speech delivered on
Monday, declared that the Issue in the
next campaign should be "Immediate tariff
revision." Edward M. Shepard, who was
the democratic candidate for mayor of
New York agalnBt Mr. Low, In a recent
speech said: "Instead of Introducing doubt
Into almost every business the democratic
party may well deal with the few sched
ules in which, through practical monopoly,
vast fortunes have been made." The two
leaders differ materially. It does not mat
ter which course the democrats pursue
The republican party will attend to the
tariff at the right time, and It does not
propose that the business of the nation
shall be upset by democratle threats.
THS GRISDIKO PROCESS.
Tralnlns; of the Present Day Toward
Self-Repression.
St. Louis Republic.
In this day ot common motive and com
bined activity the Individual seems to be
at a discount, comparatively Insignificant
besldo the great purpose and progression
of which he is a part. He It a mere bit of
machinery rather than a complete, Individ
ual engine. Apart, by. himself, he Is ot
small moment; It Is only his strength as a
unit In the collective whole that counts.
To be an effective factor he must sink in
dividuality. The who'e training of the
present day It toward self-repression, and
this It at it should be. It It aomewnat
anomalous that self-repression makes for
character. It does. Just at self-denial makes
for power, just at mute, unquestioning
ccrvlce makes for generalship, ability to
direct.-' Thus, Instead of cheapening man
hood the present day business lite gives
It co-ordination, fiber and tone. It Is a
refining yet a strengthening process. It Is
a more even yet a more potent and effective
life that we lead these days. It it con-
I certed effort and common enterprise, grad
ual, ture, continuous; at against a riotous
Individuality of former times, sporadic, full
of mistakes, uncertain. It Is tbe difference
between trained energy and misdirection ;
concentration and waste. Finely tempered
and powerful individuality brings success
today jio less than formerly. Perhaps the
road is a little longer now, but achieve
ment! are more substantial and enduring.
On the whole, there Is no good reason tor
the man of today to despair because he It
"ground down." If he hat the Intrinsic!
merit, the grinding will develop t. If ho
lacks it, he Is perhaps even better off at
factor in the big machinery than
he
would be in Independent action.
HOW TO GET RID OF DRLDGERY.

O. S. Marsden In Success.
Three things Ruekln considered neces

must be fit for It: they must not do too
much ot It, and tbey must have a sense of
success in it not a doubtful sense, such
at neede tome testimony of other people
for its confirmation, but a sure tense, or.
rather, knowledge, that so much work has
been done well,, and fruitfully done, what
ever the world tray say or think about it."
No man It original, prollflo or strong,
unless hit heart glvea full consent to what
he Is doing, and he feels a glow of content
and satisfaction in every dny't well-done
work.
If you are In love with your work, and
dead In earnest in your efforts to do it
as well as It can be done; If you are to
enthualtstlo about It that you fairly be
grudge the time taken from it for your
meals and recreation, you will never be
bored by It; tbe drudgery which other feel
you will never know.
A fond mother feels no sense of drudgery
In her housework, In the Infinite details of
sweeping, dusting, cooking, mtndlag snd
making for her loved ones. The long days
and nights of care and toll spent minister
ing to the crippled, deaf and dumb, or in
valid child, have never a thought of us
willing labor In them.
What are years ot waiting and hardahlp
and disappointment, and Incessant toll to
an Inspired artist? What caret the writer
whose heart Is in bis work for money or
fame compared with the Joy of creation ?
What are long courses of seaming drudgery
to the poor student working hit way
through college, If hit heart it aflame with
deelre for knowledge, and hi soul is athlrtt
for wisdom? What does It matt how long
a man work If bit work, even bumble. It

In tbe production of the best work, the
co-operation of heart and head It neces
sary. Its quantity at well a quality wilt
be measured by the amount of love that la
put Into It.

Macaulay of Frederick the Great. "His
