From now on to the end of the season building operations In Omnha will be vigorously prosecuted. The suspension of sentence on the councilmen adjudged guilty of contempt leaves them decidedly In suspense. Now that the primary election Is over Omaha will drop politics and devote itself to arranging for a rousing ovation to Ak-Sur-Ben. President Morton of, the r.qnltable Life takes the public into his confidence with all the sangfroid of a man who feels that be has worked a reformation. The regeneration of tue u.,t Is now as sured. A Corean band greeted Miss Roosevelt with "The Star Spangled Ban ner" when she reached Seoul. There Is uiways Kuiueiuing to agitate the popular mind in Omaha. The next absorbing topic will le the gas ordinance and Independent telephone competition. In spite of the marked increase in the number of factories Nebraska will look to the grain fields for the foundation of its prosperity for several years. Chicago burglars who looted the home of a federal Judge showed a contempt of court, but the Judge will doubtless per mit them to be tried by a jury if they Insist. In advising uruiy oilicers 10 follow the "simple life" General Corbln runs the risk of becoming theoretical, if one is to Judge by reports from headquarters while be was at Washington. experience nus demonstrated that a republican lieutenant governor of Mis souri is as expert la "holding down the ild" as Governor Folk; but he does not make half as much noise about it Those democrats who Were continually after Mr. McCall for money are now glad tbey failed to connect with the cash; but they were Just as much disappointed at the time tbey thought tbe money was wlthlu easj- reach. Governor Hoch of Kansas decided not to stop a Sunday performance of a show iKtrause ne naa no jurisdiction. A num ber of governors of other states will be surprised to know tbat be let a little thing like that stop blm. The story tbat President Reyes of Co lohtbls bag declared himself dictator 'can be accepted with a grain of salt in the light of the fact tbat tbe new president bas lived long enough in the United States to appreciate a republic. Under the clrcumstuuces Charles W, Haller made a splendid showing in the race for county Judge. Dickinson and Thomas carried away fully 2,000 votes tbat would have been cast for blm and yet be Is defeated ty less than 200 votes. If, as Governor Hanly states, former udltor Sherrlck lost state money gam bling at French Lick springs, tbe demo cratic party may look with greater len iency upon bU delinquency, as French Lick ia not far from national democratic headquarters. . Congressuiuii KuuucUy w said, to have declined an invitation to participate as a speaker in a republican campaign In Oblo on tbe ground tbat bis services are required to promote republican success In Nebraska. Mr. Kennedy is lalorlng under a delusion Nebraska Is as safely republican as Oblo in tbe year 1000. GETTING READT TOR ACTION- -President Koowevelt Is expected to re turn to Washington at the end of Oils month and reports from the national cap ital any that be will then resume the campaign for railway rate regulation. It la stated tliot already the president has Invited to a conference at the White limine members uf congress who are known to favor his policy in regard to rate regulation, and H Is asserted that Mr. Koosevelt will serve notice upon e railroads and their adherents In botli houses that be has not changed bis at titude In tbe slightest degree since the senate prevented consideration of tbe railroad question In tbe last congress. According to the Washington corre spondents, It is now understood that the railroad question will form tbe principal feature of tbe president's message and that be will leave tbe railroad senators no room for doubting what Is bis policy. After that it will be a question for sena tors to determine whether they will stand with tbe president or oppose him. One report says that tbe president does not intend that tbe country shall be tricked by senate manipulation of legis lation, but is prepared for an open fight In support of tbe public's interests. It Is anggested that tbe railroads and their friends in congress will attempt to di vert attention from the rate question to the torlff, but that while the tariff will undoubtedly become a matter of serious consideration when congress meets, it II not to be allowed to overshadow the question of proper rate regulation and it Is expected that the president will ask that no tariff legislation be attempted until the rate bill has been disposed of. This confirms tbe opinion we have heretofore expressed, that Preldent Roosevelt will be foun4 firmly adhering to the position be announced In bis last annual message In regard to the regula tion of railway rates. He then declared that "the government must In increasing degree supervise and regulate tbe work lngs of the railways engaged in inter state commerce, and such increased supervision is the only alternative to an Increase of the present evils on the one hand or a still more radical policy on the other." He declared that the most important legislation needed as regards the regulation of corporations Is to con fer on the Interstate Commerce com mission the power to revise rates and regulations, "the revised rate to at once go Into effect and to stay in effect un less and until the court of review re verses It." This position of Mr. Roose velt there is every reason to believe he still maintains and will again urge upon congress. Unquestionably it has the sup port of a very large majority of the peo ple and the knowledge of this fact can not fall to have a great influence upon congress, particularly the popular branch, which It can be confidently pre dicted will be found in almost unanl mouB accord with tbe president. As to the senate. It Is to be expected that the friends of the railroads In that jttady will oppose the president's position, yet there is said to be a probability that some' of the senators who antagonised the proposed legislation fh the last con gress will be found to have .changed their attitude. At all events there ap pears to be every assurance that upon this very important question Mr. Roose velt stands firmly upon the position be announced in his last annual message and In this there la promise of ultimate victory for the people. REFORM IN PHILADELPHIA. The movement for good government In Philadelphia baa made such progret that there Is every reason to expect that it will be successful. It is an admitted fact tbat for years the administration of affairs in tbat city bas been marked by systematic corruption and methods which had a most demoralizing effect Graft of the most unscrupulous kind bas prevailed and the politicians who have been in control have shown utter Indif ference to the interests and welfare of the people, their only, concern being to intrench themselves In power and get all tnev co"11 ou of. it Against this state of affairs a cam paign Is being waged that promises to bring about tbe overthrow of the men who are responsible for tbe unfortunate condition. Mayor Weaver is leading tbe fight for reform and bas already done a great deal in the interest of better gov ernment. He is receiving the active and earnest support of tbe newspapers, with one or two exceptions, and of In fluential republicans. The Philadelphia Press, a leading republican paper, says: "With the mayor's rare leadership, with the popular scorn of the public betrayers, with the transcendent Interest of all hon est cltlsens in crushing tbe deadly "chemeg of spoliation, with thoroughly organlied house to house work, and with tbe incalculable power of a great popu lar uprising, we shall wage such a battle as the city has never seen, and we are bound to win." The entire country takes an Interest in this municipal contest and will be gratified If the friends of good government In Philadelphia shall tri umph in tbe coming election. lAVADlSa CANADIAN WATERS. American fishermen in Lake Erie bave been Invading Canadian waters, with the result tbat four fishing vessels bave been made the target for the guns of the patrol boats of the Dominion within the past two weeks. Two of these vessels were captured and taken to a Canadian port i and two escaped, one of which was badly damaged by shots from the pursuing patrol boat. The line of division be tween the United States and Canada, running east and west In Lake Erie, is well understood by tbe fishing vessels of both cot a tries but American fisher men have always been somewhat care less about tbe matter and it appears tbat recently they bave been unusually indlf fere tit. Tbls bas very naturally catised greater vigilance on tbe part of tbe Can adlans ard Increased efforts to put i stop to tbe invasion of their waters for the taking of fish.. It Is claimed that Americans bave taken many thousands of dollars worth of fish from the waters of the Dominion and undoubtedly there la good ground for tbe claim. Tbe situation Is interesting from the fact tbat -tbere Is Involved in it a pos sible controversy between our govern ment and Canada. There Is a well de fined treaty arrangement In regard to the dividing line In the bike, o that in re spect to tbls there can be no issue raised, but the question as to whether the Amer ican vessels were trespassers may easily cause some trouble. The captain of one of tbe vessels fired on asserts that be was not over the line and if be can es tablish this our government will cer tainly demand and insist upon repara tion. It Is reported tbat the matter will be called by ouf government to the at tention of the government of Oreat Britain and undoubtedly will be thor oughly Investigated. It is not a matter of very serious import, but it suggests that it might be good policy to change the existing arrangement, so as to ob viate trouble in tbe future. THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES. The primary has determined the make up of the republican county ticket and republicans now know with what lineup of candidates they enter tbe contest In Douglas county that Is to be determined by the election In November. The returns show that the regular re publican organization has now, as It has had for many years, tbe support of a large majority of the rank and file of the party. The opposition, which enjoys going under the name of "antis," would be hopelessly shut out from top to bot tom except for an occasional opportunity to take advantage of division among the forces of the regular organization. This la the explanation of the capture by tbe Fontanelle slatemakers of the two most important places on the ticket, namely, the sheriff and the county Judge. While John McDonald bas a small plu rality over Fred II. Iloye, he is a minor ity nominee, saved only by the third candidacy of Tony Donahoe. Tbe same is true to an even greater extent with reference to Charles Leslie, tbe successful candidate for county Judge. While in round figures 2,000 re publican voters have expressed a pref erence for Mr. Leslie as their candidate, more tban 4.B00 republican voters have expressed themselves o gainst blm. The Bee believes that In tbis Instance in par ticular a weak candidate has been chosen and tbat tbe ticket would have been greatly strengthened had Charles W. nailer been the nominee. Incidentally, there are several points In which republicans have a right to congratulate themselves over tbe out come, among them the choice of Herman Beal for county surveyor, E. F. Brailey for coroner, W. O. I're for commissioner and Bryce Crawford for police Judge, to gether with uncontested nominations of Robert O. Fink for treasurer and E. O Solomon for county commissioner. The confidence of the rank and file of the party In the regular repnbllcan or gantzatlon Is again manifested in its con tinuation in the control of tbe machinery of the party with a majority over the "antis" In the county committee again of nearly two to one. The Bee will have more to say about tbe ticket and tbe nominations ao the campaign progresses. According to the national census bu reau Omaha has made very gratifying gains in its industrial establishments, both as regards the capital invested, the number of workmen employed and value of tbe output Computed by compara tive percentages Omaha's gain within tbe past year was 42 per cent, while the gain In the state of Nebraska was only 19 per cent Greater Omaha, embraced within tbe limits of Omaha and South Omaha, contains more than two-thirds of all the wage workers inV'the state and its manufacturing concerns, including the meat packing bouses, mills and fac tories, represent an output of Industrial products aggregating 112,000,000, out of a total of $154,000,000 for all the indus trial concerns in the state. When put In practice the Dodge pri mary election law has proved to be as full of boles as Harry Deuel's skimmer. The attorneys for the state, the attorneys for the county and the attorneys for the city, tbe city clerks of Omaha and South Omaha after diagnosing tbe case, dis agree like doctors and each has a dif ferent version of Its meaning and Intent What the supreme court will think about It will be known in tbe near bye and bye. We are promised that the democratic state platform will go the republicans several better on the railroad question and that tbe populists will double dis count tbe democrats. If tbe silver re publican wing of the once flourishing "allied reform forces" were only extant what a rip-snorter of a platform It would promulgate to beat all the others out It was Immediately following the dis closures of "graft" In Bouth Carolina that tbe Muscogee statehood convention declared In favor of the "dispensary" method of handling liquor. Tbe spoils hunters In tbe Indian Territory must be looking for something to succeed the In dian as a producer of "easy money." The attention of the lion. Thomas Tibbies Is respectfully called to the fact that a lot of alleged Nebraska populists are still fusing with tbe democrats, not withstanding tbe edict of the late popu list candidate for vice president to tbe effect that further fusion Is treason to the populist party. Because the civil courts are too slow Lleutensnt Burbank will be tried by court-martial on charge of deserting a Filipino wife. Just what tbe rules and regulations provide for such an offense will be Interesting to discover when the case comes before the reviewing officers. Tbe decision of tbe supreme court on tbe validity of tbe Dodge primary la will not coins now until tbe middle of October. In tbe meantime, however, candidates nominated under tbe law will be wise to let no grass grow under their feet. Civilisation's (Jentle Tonrh. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

How to Reach the Standard. Philadelphia Record. The best way to touch the vltaJs of the Standard Oil company would be to untax alcohol. Alcohol can be produced so cheaply as to compel a like cheapness In competitive fuels. It Is less dangerous In the handling than gasoline and gas. It Is also of great use for manufacturing purposes. Cheap alcohol and cheap motors go together, nnd could be put to an Infinite variety of labor- saving uses. Evils from I'nreasonlnar Zeal. Buffalo Express. In his annual report Brigadier General Grant, commanding the Department of the East, speaking of the many trials by court martial, says that fully 75 per cent of these trials were due to the use of bad liquor In dens of vice near military posts. Says the general: 'These depraved creatures nnd lewd women use every device In their power to Induce the soldiers to patronise their brothels, where those who yield to tempta tion are frequently drugged and robbed. It Is distressing that the prosperity of the vile resorts Is due to the activity of good and worthy, though misguided, cltlsens, who have succeeded In abolishing the canteen of the army." WHISKY VERSUS BITTERS. Kew Internal Revenue Ruling m Ilevenae Producer. New York Times. Mr. Yerkes, the commissioner of Internal revenue, has much to answer for. His order that whisky shall henceforth ba described and taxed as such strikes a blow at the social organisation of many sections of our common country. He has laid It down, contrary to a venerable and musty ruling of his department, that so-called "patent medicines composed largely of dis tilled liquors" shall. In effect, be regarded as aloohollc beverages, that the manufac turers of the same shall be compelled to take out licenses as distillers and liquor dealers, and the sellers of the same, how ever much they may call themselves drug gists, and "pharmaalsts" thereto, shall be compelled to take out licenses as retail liquor dealers. "The same ruling," adds the ruthless commissioner, "applies to every alcoholic compound labeled as a . remedy for disease, and containing, In addition to distilled spirits, only substances or Ingred ients which, however large their quantity. are not of a character to Impart any medi cinal quality to' the compound." It Is all very well for the wild-eyed Yerkes to pretend that he Is only endeavor ing to get its due for the government. What he Is really doing Is to undermine the social fabric. There Is no doubt about the facts. An esteemed contemporary has been testing for alcohol some of the "bitters" In chief demand In pletlstic and malarial regions by the process of combustion, and finding that one of them burned four min utes, another two minutes and forty sec onds, and another two minutes and thirty seconds, while the "beer," hated and ex ecrated of the Women's Christian Temper ance union, had only enough alcohol to burn for twenty seconds. Chemical analysis Indicates the same thing. A popular "bit ters" contains 45 per cent of alcohol, and many others SS. Yet many a deacon In our land who tranquilly Ingests these bev erages would not on any account be seen drinking a glass of claret which contains even when Its asperities are not mitigated by seltzer, but S per cent of the accursed thing. MILES OF CAnS FOR CROPS. Agrroeablo Task for Managers of Transportation Lines. New York Herald. The American1 farmer la a very prosper ous Individual, according to railroad statis ticians, who have figured that the grain traffic for this crop year will aggregate 1.DO0.O0O carloads. If all this grain could be hauled In a single train of freight cars the train would be 11.131 miles long, exclusive of the locomotives that would be needed to move It. Dividing this Into trains of forty cars ich there would be required $7,600 loco motives, or 364 miles of draught machinery. Adding this Va miles to the V.93I miles of cars there Is a total of 11.28 miles. To hold the cars and engines would require nearly every foot of four tracks extending from New York to San Fran clseo. The necessary single track would measure half the circumference of the globe. . These figures do not fully Indicate the vastnesa of the wealth which the American farmer has taken from his land in corn, oats, wheat, barley and rye this year. The railroad men's estimates are confined to the grain which will be moved to market centers on the steam roads. Probably not more than a third of the grain pro duced will ever see a freight car. The other two-thirds- will be hauled to local mills In wagons or be consumed by live stock on the farms. To hold the corn crop alone would call for a train 21.000 miles in length. In this statement of agricultural treasure lies the reason for the unparalleled prepa rations of Western railroads for traffic this season. It the farmer were not already well supplied with ready money and were forced to rush his grain to market, as he has done In past years, It Is reasonable to suppose the railroads would be swamped with grain traffic. The statisticians estimate the wheat and oats crops of Minnesota and the Dakotas at $26,000,000 bushels, of which 190,000,000 bushels will be marketed on steam roads They place the yield of corn at J,M, 000,000 bushels, and expect that 784,000,000 bushels wl'.l be hauled on freight trains greater or less distances. Granting that these figures are correct, there will be 173.000 carloads of wheat and oats from the three states mentioned, or 4.S2S trains of forty cars each. The estimate for com Is 7M,000 carloads, or 19,900 tralnloads of forty cars each. On top of this will probably be 17,000 carloads of flaxseed to be hauled from the North west. To haul the 1,500.000 ears for all kinds of grain would mean a movement of a hun dred trains of forty cars each every day of the year. ROISD ABOtT SEW TORK. Ripples on the t'nrrent of Lite In the Metropolis. The postofflce business In New Tork City Is transacted In one large ancient building opposite the city hall, thirty-eight branch stations and 2r9 substations, scattered throughout the greater city. The total of business annually done In the postofflce of New York would stagger Ben Franklin and the other postmasters of the early days. In 1!04 the receipts In money were IH.sm.Plfi W, and of this amount there were paid for stamps through the little win. dows a total of tl3,2?4.5S.17. The remainder was mnde up by the publishers, who pay by the pound weight, and the box rent that amounted to $35.757.o!. The following figures are suggestive! Cost of operation, 16.025, 231. . of which $2,771710.61 went to clerks and $1.1S,542.M 10 carriers, nearly lliio.ooo on special delivery, I1S.206 for rent of canceling machines. Thre are more than S.100 officials employed nnd 1.900 regular carriers, making a total of near 8,0i0 employes. There are sorted and forwarded In ths postofflce of New York each day an aver age of 1.2SO.0OO letters, 622,000 circulars and J.B27 sacks of miscellaneous matter. This does not Include the 7.000 sacks of mall that are dally shipped from the branch postofflce near the Grand Central station. This amount of matter could never be handled were It not for the canceling machines, of which fifty are In use. each of which can cancel S5.000 stamps In one hour. The money order department handles about $1,000,000 each working day. "Never before In the history of New York has there been a more promising outlook for labor and business than now," reports a correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger. "For the next ten years 40,000 men will be employed In the borough of Man hattan on municipal or . semi-municipal works of development. In the borough of Brooklyn from 20,000 to 30.000 men will be steadily employed for the same length of time on the same kind of work. In the borough of Queens an army of tollers num bering from 10,000 to 15.000. will be en gaged, and In the Bronx approximately tho same number will be busy. "For subway rapid transit undertakings alone approximately $:50.0no.0C0 will be ex pended, while for bridges, for railroad ter minals and for other enterprises directly connected with transportation, about $160, 000.009 will be disbursed. This makes $400, 000,000. The mind of man can scarcplw grasp the full significance of this stupen dous outlay. Aside from this work, there is certain to be treble or quadruple this sum of $400,000,000 spent on the construction of buildings for office or residential pur poses. And In addltfon to all this, there Is a multitude of other things which will mean employment for thousands of men and the expenditure of millions of dol lars." He was frantically kissing her hand and trying to put his arm around her waist, In full view, the other day, of the Judge and the clerk of the Essex Market court. They were waiting for the clerk to fill out the complaint which the woman had made against the man. the woman sullenly re letting before the public lovemaklng. The clerk was very slow, glancing up at the pair from time to time. "Do you know what they are saying In Yiddish?" he asked a bystander. "The man is swearing to kiss tho ground she walks on if she will only let him ofT." The troubled pair glanced round a mo ment as they noticed the talk and the eyes turned to them, then continued their lovemaklng undisturbed. "I'm taking my time," said the clerk, "to give them a chance to make It up and go homo without fighting it out in court. Maybe they will and maybe they won t. But I'll give them a chance. I go slow every day, and my slowness saves the court a lot of cases to try." Five minutes later there was a repeated loud smack. Kverybody turned. The Yid dish couple were locked in an embrace. "Order!" shouted the court. "If you please," said the woman In broken English, "tear up that paper. 1 love him all right now." Since the opening of the elevated rail road In New York City, more than a quarter of a century ago, these lines have established an unparalleled record for the safety with which they have handled their tremendous volume of human freight. Un til recently no passenger had ever been killed while on the company's cars, so that even In the light of the event of the recent wreck, Manhattan's record for safety still probably stands unmatched by any trans portation company anywhere. In fifteen years Manhattan has carried more than $.000,000,000 passengers, an average of more than 210,144.9?9 a year, and of this total less than twenty persons have been killed while on the cars. Oolng back to the com mencement of operations will Increase the total of passengers very largely without adding to the number killed. There Is a new Idea to protect type writers from being tampered with. A man In a New York office has had made a key board on which there are no letters or figures. The diagram of the keys Is printed on a celluloid card, which he places in num 01 pirn as one does a piece of music. As long as he keeps his diagram In vui vi linn ne tun wrue. v nen ha re moves It, neither he nor any one else can operate the machine accurately. The New York passenger station of the Pennsylvania railroad will be 1,608 feet In length, 77S feet in width, and 2S8 feet in height, and every Improvement In lighting, heating, and for the expediting of business ana travel will be metalled. An untmn.l feature of the station will be the method or boarding trains. Instead of approach Ing the station on 8 level with the waltlne- rooms, the trains, coming Into the station inrougn tunnels, win pass under the station. Passengers, therefore, will de scend to the subway, where trains will be waiting. Never before has New York had such remaraame collection or criminal cases as District Attorney Jerome will have to press for trial within the next three or four months. Some of the men who will be called to the bar are not only of national but of International prominence. Lawyers of great Influence and ability, financiers who have had the handling of hundreds of millions of dollars, and men high in politi cal ana social lira are numbered among the lot who must stand before judge n Jury to have It decided whether prison cells and felon's stripes are to be thtlr portion. Ono hundred storekeepers doing business on the same side of one of Brooklyn's shop ping streets have Joined forces in an effort to make their side of the thoroughfare pop ular and to overcome the custom of many generations of shoppers to walk and trade on the other side. This Brooklyn habit of sticking to one side of the road has grown to such an extent that business across the way suffered materially. The remedy now being tried is this: In nearly every show window fronting on the Itttle-uaed sidewalk the following sign.
