way to a very Inrxe extent In the fram-

ery reason to expect that they will con
tinue to have their way. (lermany lias
made treaties with a nmnlier of Euro
pean i-ountrles under which those coun
tries will have the advantage of the
minimum duties nnd It Is against these
that the American producers must com

the maximum duties the effect will be to
exclude them from the fierman msrkets,

given the minimum tariff rates. It has
been stated that rresldent Roosevelt is
favorable to the negotiation of such a
treaty, but this does not appear to be
the position of the republican lenders In
congress, if statements emanntlng from
Washington are trustworthy. There
seems to be more talk of .retaliation than

aOVKHSLD TOO MUCH-
For years The Ree has endeavored to
Impress upon the taxpayers of Omaha,
ttouth Omuhu and louglas county that
they are governed too much, lu other
words, that tho machinery of locul gov
ernment la too complicated and alto
gether too expensive. With a popula
tion of about ltlo.OOU and taxable prop
erty valued at $1BO,OU),uoo lu round fig
ures we uialntalu scores of supernumer
aries aud taxeaters who could as well be
dispensed with If the government ma
chinery of the city, county and school
districts were simplified and made more
harmonious.
We now maintain separate legal de
partments for Omaha, South Omuhu and
the school district of Omuhu, besides
the county attorney's office, wheu one
legal department could do all the civil
business and the County prosecutor, then
relieved of his duties as legal adviser of
the county, could devote bis eutlre time
to law enforcement
We have one engineering department
for Oraahn, another for South Omaha
nnd a separate engineering department
for the county, when all the engineering
could readily be done at a great saving
uuder one department.
While we are about to take tho first
step In the direction of more economic
local government by the consolidation of
the city treasurer's oHlce with that of
the county treasurer, and the consolida
tion of the city tax commissioner's dfUce
with that of the county assessor, Bouth
Omaha still maintains a separate city
treasury and a separate tax commis
sioner, Imposing a needless tax upon tho
property owners of that town.
Soouer or later oue county comptroller
will be able to.tske up all the business
of Omaha, South Omaha and the county
without a serious strain, and sooner or
later one school board will tie able to
supervise all the schools In Omaha and
South Omaha, If not In the country dis
tricts aa well.
In the due course of time It may also
dawn upon the people of South Omaha
that they are squandering a great desl
of money In maintaining a separate mu
nicipal government, and Ao an Infinite
amount of barm to themselves In pulling
for a smaller Omaha when their energies
should be directed toward the upbuilding
of Oreater Omaha.
striking proof of the fact thst we
ere governed altogether too much has
Just been furnished by the voting ma
chine deal, which had to be negotiated
and consummated by the Joint action of
the Board of County Commissioners and
the city councils of Omaha, and South
Omaha, each creating a separate debt for
a glveu number of voting uuachluea wheu
by rlfhts the arrsngements should all
have been msde by one governing body.

The new eet-retary of the navy Is al
ready showing that the president made
no mistake In selecting him to succeed
Mr. Morton. Mr. Ronaparte has taken
hold of the duties of the poeltlon In
a wny thst Indicates first rate ex
ecutive capacity and also a deter
mination to act upon his own Judg
ment. He has done one or two things
which overrule the action of bis
predecessor aud for which he bns re
ceived public commendation. One of
these wss the rescinding of the order of
Mr. Morton transferring two naval engi
neers from the Cbarlestown navy yard,
the transfer being made at the request
of certain contractors who complained
thst the work was delsyed because of
the too close supervision of the engi
neers. Becrctary Ronaparte, after care
fully looking Into the matter, concluded
that the engineers bad been faithfully
performing their duty and the con
tractors will have to submit to a rigid In
spection of their work. i
That serves aa an example of the kind
of man who Is now at the head of the
Navy department Contractors under
that department wljll take notice that
their work will be subject to the, most
careful and thorough Inspection and that
they must not expect officers assigned to
this duty to be removed at their request
on the ground thst they do make rigid in
spection, even If it should cause some
delny. Naval engineers will see In the
action of the secretary assurance that
when they faithfully perform their du
ties they will be sustained. Mr. Bona
parte has started well and may be ex
pected to further Justify the confidence
reposed In him by the president.
THE ARUIKS IN MAtiCHVMA.
It Is undoubtedly true, as stated by
the commander of the Third Mauchurtan
army, that the forces of Russia la the
field are stronger st present than ever
before. They huve been reinforced by
iuuuy thousunds since they were driven
from Mukden aud it is estimated now
numlier more than 400,000 effective men.
It is ulso probable that the position they
occupy Is exceedingly strong, for every
thing that military engineering could do
to make it so has lieen done. Thus far
Lluevltch has shown himself to be a
very much more capable commander
thuu bis predecessor.
As to the .Inpiinese forces it Is believed
they number considerably more than
their enemy, the si veral armies probably
exceeding half a million men aud It is
thought having more guns than the Rus
sians. Japan has been able to send
larger reinforcements into Manchuria
than Russia and whatever number of
soldiers Oyama has asked for have been
sent him. In view of rthls It seems some
what strange that the Japauese com
mander Is still delaying the movement
for a general engagement which he was
expected to make a month or more ago.
One explanation, however. Is to be found
in the adverse weather conditions, which
for several weeks have been unfavorable
to extensive military operations. What
has been happening, however, shows
that the Japanese liavo uot been alto
gether Inactive and while not fighting on
a largescsle have still beeu securing ad
vantages of no small importance.
It may be that the great armies which
have lieen gathered in northern Man
churia will not meet In a general engage
ment. If a great battle Is not fought
within the next two weeks, or before the
meeting of the pence conference, the
chances will be' favorable to an armis
tice, with the probability that before its
termination terms of peoco will be
agreed upon. That Js what the civilised
world is very earnestly hoping for and
which there Is reason to believe will be
realized.

lu view of the exteuslve construction
of store buildlugs aud warehouses now
In progress in this city, it may not be
out of order nguln to call public atten
tion to the Imperative demand for strict
enforcement of the provisions of our fire
ordinances designed for tho protection
of life nnd property. In this connection
we deem It proper to print the following
extract from the new buildlug ordinance
of the city of Chicago, relating to the
construction of shafts, fireproof and
semi fireproof buildings:
In raae where a pipe, conduit, cable,
dumb wstter, wlra, conveyor, belt, or any
combination thereof puaaea from one story
to another atory tlirouth an open hatch
er floor openlnt, a shaft or enclosure of
fireproof man-rial shall be built from floor
to floor around such hutch or floor open
ing In esrh story above and below such
hatch, or floor opening. In no rasa shall
any wood tie lined In the conatructlon or
support er fitting of auch shaft ss de
acrlhed shove. If such holes In floors as
decrlled shove In this section are not
eiuloiod by surh fireproof enclosures, then
the open apace In each floor opening not
occupied by pipes, conduits, cables, wires,
conveyers, belts, or any combination
thereof , aliall be filled solid with fireproof
material not leas than eight Inchea thick.
All burnt clay, or terra cotta partitions
of walla around shafts having openings on
floors shall be pUatered on tha outalda and
plastered or pointed on the Inelde. AH
doora, frames, sashes, csalng and win
dows In partitions In walls around floor
openings or around stair shafts or elevator
shafta ahall be built of Inoombuatlble ma
tertsls. Tha supports of such doors, frames,
sashea, caslnga and windows shall also be
made of Inoombuatlble material. In the
case ef doors such supports shall be of
rolled structural metal extending from
floor to celling and secured to both. Where
there are brick walls of twelve Inches or
more In thlrkneas tha supports need not
extend to tha celling as above specified.
All glass uaed In connection with such
partitions or walls shall be Are-reslattng.
(shaped metal work placed over aabeatoe
paper and wood may 'be used for tha open
Inga In auch partitions, aaoept for elevator
doors in shafts and where the provlalona
of this chapter require all metal doors.
It would seem that the time la .ripe
for the adoption of similar regulations
lu the conatructlon of all brick store and
office bulldlnrs la Omaha. Experience
hss demonstrated thst elevator shafts
and bstches leading through a building
from one story to another sre the roost

abont census psddtng In Omsha snd

It would be commonplace to point out the
advances msde In both medicine and sur

that time medicine has come to be a real
science and surgery both an art snd a sci

clples that underlie the health of communi

and the individual la made safe because the

of the dreadful scourges thst devastated

are waging against tuberculosis. Typhoid
fever, pneumonia, snd scarlet fever are
robbed of much of their terrors, for where
either wss once likely to prove fatal now
they are very likely not to. Who, then, hna

It is not recalled thst Secretsry Coburn

be called a happy acHdent. A phlloaophli-sl
eapert of the department happened to rumi
nate upon the fata of the aumeroua kids
found within the environments of every

that there was a dlacrepancy between the
multiplicity of three animals snd the num
ber of adult goats that rams under his ob

news that many of the animals were served
up as mutton. Whereupon he reflected that
If peopl could only be prevailed on to lay
salde prejudice there would be a fine op
portunity for tha development of a new and
legitimate American Industry. Evidently
all thai la needed Is a campaign of educa
tion to give the goat a proper footing out

At the rink of his own life William Doyle,
an ambulance driver for Harlem hoapltal,
saved that of his pet horse. Pony, Sunday
sfternoon. The ambulance waa presented
to the hospital recently by the New York
City Railway company In place of one
wrecked by a Second avenue car, and, re
turning from a call without a patient, was
crossing Third avenue at One Hundred and
Twenty-third street when struck by a
northbound car.
Dr. Oewald Dlmmlck saw the impending
crssh and shouted to Doyle to Jump, st
the same time leaping from the ambulance.
But Doyle didn't Jump. He knew that If
he let go the reins Pony would be killed.
He tightened his grin snd with a cut nf
the whip swung Pony to one side.
In the next second the ambulance was a
mass of kindling wood. Pony was on his
back, but comparatively unhurt, and Doyle
was lying half conscious In the gutter.
Dr. Dlmmlck with a sprained ankle and
Doylo with an ugly cut over his eye were
taken to the hospital In another ambulance.
Pony escaped with a cut on the neck and
bruised legs. No arrests were made.
Six sturdy fellows, arraigned In the Har

Mount Carmel, In East One Hundred and
Fifteenth street.
Three of the beggars were ranged on the
sidewalk In front of the church and three
more directly serosa the way, so thst they
did not mlsa a single worshiper, going or

Little Ida Baum was very much engaged
with her nuralng bottle when a snake two
feet long wriggled up little Ida's baby
carriage and nestled down beside her. It
was not a milk snske, but a garter snake.
The snake did not harm the baby, but the
sight of It", twisting and squirming ground
her child, frightened Ida's mother nearly
to death.
Mrs. Baum put Ida In her gocart, wheeled
her to a shsdy spot before her home and
seated herself In a front window to watch
the baby. Ida was pensively satisfying
her thirst and appetite when the snake,
which probably came' from Watseaslng
swamp near by, made Its appearance on
the baby's pinafore. Darting Its head here
and there, the snake Intently watched the
baby; plainly Ida thought a new toy hsd
been given her and put out her chubby
hand to grasp the snske, which easily
eluded her.
Terror nearly paralysed Mrs. Baum. She
could not move, but at last she uttered a
piercing shriek. Mrs. Herbert Springfield,
who lives In the same house, ran to her.
Mrs. Baum, scared speechless, pointed at
Ida snd the snake. Mrs. Springfield, a
woman of courage and action, rushed out
to the baby carriage, seised the snake by
the tall and flung it yards awayf Then
she grabbed up a stone and killed the
reptile. Little Ida cried when her pretty
new toy was taken from her, but the nurs
ing bottle soon comforted her.
More than lOO.OOO Italians on Monday
congregated between One Hundred and
Fourth snd One Hundred and Sixteenth
streets, the "IJttle Italy" of New. York,
to celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Mount
Carmel. They came from as far eaat aa
Boaton and from ss far west as Plttaburg.
From thirty miles around New York, Ital
ians came on foot, many of them barefoot
ss a greater penance.
The day whs spent In seml-religlous fes
tivities. About the colony were scattered
altars of wood and tinsel, before which
Italians knelt In the streets and on which
msny of them lsld wax reproductions of
fingers, limbs, or other parts of the body,
which they prayed to the saint to heal.
Csndles, many of which were expensive
Importations from Italy, were sn Important
part of the festival, and It was estimated
that more than seven tons of them were
used. Hundreds of pilgrims from out of
town were forced to live In the streets
and 300 patrolmen were detailed, to pre
serve order.
Tha moat picturesque bit of foreign color
seen for a long time on a New York street
wss a couple of kvaas sellers who did a
thriving buslneas st Rlvlngton snd Allen
streets Sunday afternoon. They were
Roumanian Jewa, dreased In Turkish fes
and gay souave trouaera. The kvaaa was
contained In a tank of glistening ham
mered braaa four feet high, strapped to
the back of the smaller man. A long spout,
curved over his shoulder, chased In rude
designs, was hung about with Turkish
coins. The kvaaa seller would shout this
refrain:
"Trlnk a leetle von der guter kvaas.
Verth a neekel a glaas."
Tha Roumanian Jewa, remembering tha
beverage of their native land, stepped up
Immediately and paid their pennies. Tba
kvaas bearer bent forward, deftly pouring
the brown augary, lemonady liquid into a
glasa. which the e.riler took from a braaa
rack strapped around his waiaL The seller
washed the glssaes with water decanted
from a tall, slender ewer of dull brass he
carried In hit hand. The average man
might not care to drink the kvaaa, but
what would he not give for the lank, glaaa
rack and ewer, all of gleaming, beautiful
hammered braas and copper!

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The torrid weather In which the city has
been sweltering has no terrors for the phi
losopher. It is an infliction to be borno,
not railed st. There are some rars spirits
that can be happy though the mercury
soars dangerously near the century mark.
It has been there before snd the fittest sur
vived, and there are other places where It
Is hotter. To the resigned snd philosophic
soul much comfort cornea from the reflec
tion that it Is more sultry along the shores
of the Gulf of Aden than on the banks of
the Delaware. We sre alwsys happy when
vn., that others are worse off than
ourselves. The pessimistic Schopenhauer
declared a truth, but discreditable to hu
manity, when he said that if a misfortune
befalls us the most effective consolation it
the thought of greater misfortunes than
ours.
The humidity rises several degrees if we
talk overmuch about. It. Discomfort is con
tsglous. If your friend has not discovered
for himself that It Is hot, why spoil his day
by telling him to be miserable? The
weather being one of the possessions which
men hsve in common, weather talk hss n
Irresistible fascination, but we are sure to
perspire and mop more desperately if we
are told at every turn that it Is the warm
est day of the sesson.
A great deal of enjoyment can be found
on a torrid day even In the arid city. It
one csnnot resdlly desert it and hie to tha
country, one msy toy with nature in the
little park. The trolley, too, is always
ready to create a breeze for E cents. It is
easy to raise the wind. There are great
possibilities In the porch house and In the
upper stories or on the roof of the sky
scraper. The upper ether snd bracing ozone
can be reached by way of the elevator
without costing a cent. There are refrig
erating resources In ths modern city un
j.n,. nt hv the fathers. The cock
ney who Is unhsppy when out of. the
glare of the gas lamps snd electric ngnis
and out of sound of the city's din can exist
more or less comfortably in town, even In
August, If he has sense enough to And an
electric fan, an open trolley car or a roof
garden.
One of the best antidotes for hot weather
la a busv mind. If one has nothing else to
do but growl st the westher, one Is in dan
ger of collapse. Be resigned. Walt for the
thunderstorm which Is sure to come along
when it gets ready.

The Arkansas supreme court M sis.
talned the vslldtty of ths anti trust ln,i
reii'e law paasM ty the legislature Isn
winter As a result, the big Insurance
comirilea if ths country will he
to And an heela on which they ctirt

In strlotly lo-al companies for some time lo
corr.e
In the matured Judgment of the lealsla
lure ni'lneurame company that enters Into
any kind of an agreement with other com
panies concerning ratea Is fit to be al
lowed In the atsie. The law not only for
blda agreements msde tnsld ths ststa. but
It bars sny company that makes any rate
agreements snywhere. Thst hits prsc
tlcally all the companies The Hartford ,
made a test case and lost, the supreme
court holding thst It wss entirely within
ths compenee ef the legislature to fix
ths condltloajS on which foreign corpora
tions should be sllowed to do business.
Tha fine of several thousand dollars a
day Is heavy enough to secure obedience to
the lsw, snd Inasmuch ss ths companies
would havs to readjust their methods cf
doing business everywhere in order to
adapt themselves to Arksnsss requirements
they may conclude thst It Is simpler and
cheaper to let the ststa slone.
Of courae. If the supreme court ef the
Untied Sfstes should ultimately reverse
Itself and hold thst the Insurance business
is Interstate commerce, there would be a
ray of hope for the companies. But even
then tha companies might Jump out of
the frytngpan Into the fire, since a re
versal of the supreme court's position on
the lines suggested would st once bring
insurance companies under the operation
of the Sherman law, and special legislation
would be necessary to exempt them.
After Arkansas has experimented with
its new law for a while It will be Interest
ing to see how the people like tha results.
Perhaps the siata will decide that It woutl
have been better off had it left the com
panies free to adjuat rates by mutual
agreement and then taken measures l
make sura that ths rates so adjusted
should not be unreasonably high-
