The Nebraska Btork oroware' aao--elation,
which 1 holding a meeting at
Alliance to conaldar subjects of Inter
est to I's members, will And lu mosf
perplexing problem centering In tb
dlpo1tn o.' the grating lands In
cluded In the public, domain.
The cattlemen are up sgalnit a con
dition rather than a theory. The re
movaf of the fence- and the failure of
the Klnkald a t to meet their eipecta"
tlons haa left them where some reme
dial lealnlatlon has become almoftt Im
perstlve. The difficulty heretofore hss been to
reach sny agreement smong them
selves ss to what form this leglslstlon
should take. A conference held with
the Omaha Commercial club In this
city In February last adopted resolu
tions "endorsing the principle of dis
posing of the unoccupied public lends
In northwestern Nebratks, popularly
known as the sand hills, for lesse or
ssle for csttlo raising snd grszlng pur
poses," and the cattlemen can confi
dently count upon the co-operation of
the commercial Interests of the state
In sny fesslble plan that promises solu
tion of their troubles.
The suggestion of outright ssle of
such Isnds as are not suftable for culti
vation and homeateadlng referred to
the resolutions passed at that meeting
came from the editor of The Bee, who
urged In Its behalf that It would tend
to stimulate ImDrovemente which
would bo dlscoursged by the leasing
system. Bale, furthermore, would
make the lend wholly subject to the
Jurisdiction of the state, whereas so
long as it remains pert of the public
domain it would be exempt from tsxa
tlon and contribute nothing to the sup
port of state government. The sale of
the land, moreover, would settle the
question once snd for all time, while
the leasing proposition would Invite
constant legislative tinkering.
The cattlemen, who of course are
moat directly concerned, should con
slder carefully the advantages and dis
advantages of the various methods and
try to reconcile all conflicting Interest
If they csn agree upon what Is best for
them they can appeal to congress for
relief with a reasonable hope of hav
ing their appeal heeded.

The naturalisation bill, which by
rare parliamentary management, has
been got through the house. Is In Its
main features and purpose In line
with Intelligent opinion, although In
the existing conditions of public busi
ness It Is not likely to become a law at
this session of congress. Uniformity
of naturalisation procedure and re
quirements are a great desideratum.
The practice In the courts la many
parts of the union, particularly In the
great cities, long ago degenerated
often Into a scandal and a farce, con
tributing in no small way to demoral
ize and corrupt elections and govern
ment. ':
Beyond the safeguards whlcfi the
bill provides for general public Inter
ests, Its permanent and certain means
of record Is highly desirable In the
Interests of foreigners who come In
good faith to become permanent cltl
tens. American cltlcenshlp Is too val
uable and important a matter to be
left to the haphazard and uncertain
methods that have csused so much
trouble both to the government and
to foreigners who have both rights
and duties under It.
Genuine American sentiment never
hsa been and Is not now disposed to
tolerate illiberal or harsh conditions
f naturalisation, but It Is becoming
more necessary than It haa been In
the past that proper conditions, such
as commend themselves to fair minded
men, whether American or foreign
born, Should be uniformly prescribed
and seriously enforced throughout the
union.'

The stage settings are being ar
ranged with extreme palna and skill
and the red Are and all the accessor
les or scenic effect prepared upon a
carefully drawn plan, so that William
Bryan may step to the center of the
stage, not only at the psychological
moment, but also amidst the roost dra
matic circumstances. The Missouri
democrats, by formal state conven
tion resolution and the pronuncla-
mento of the chairman, David K
Francis, both conceived with strict
regsrd to the highest, art of po
lltlcal theatricals, nave just now
taken their position in the Introduc
lory diagram, demanding Mr. Bryan's
nomination tor the residency. If
there be equal luck In the other pre
llmlnarlea everything should be resdy
a few weeks hence at the widely sd
vertlsed New York banquet for the 1m
presslve entrsnce of the star actor then
returned from his tour of the world
Ex-Ooverner Francis apparently
gives the rue by coupling demand
for Mr. Bryan's nomination with de-
msnd for total erasure of factional dlf
terencea.. pledging the support of the
conservative faction to candidate and
platform ihls time, snd proclaiming
that "the differences that have divided
the democracy exist no longer." And It
Is suggestive that the sub-atsge man
ager at the aame time elicited what
the press report rails "profuse cheer
ing by a eulogy of both Bryaji and
Cleveland."
Thus it Is posalble to forecast that
the play-plot calls for a democratic
fusion bo all-embraclnfc aa to take In
Cleveland and Bryan, Parker and Till
man, ultra conservative and extreme
radical, the classes and the messes,
and all Intermediate shades, Interests
and prejudice. Juat how all these
Incoogruoua or mutually repellent ele
ments are to be ro-oralnated In one
grand .'political arectacle la, verv wil
fully. t vagus, according to the
rirk of artlsU for lateaslfylsg Inter
est la the leading role. Mr. Bryan
must perform that miracle.
This, therefore, must be the sub
ject of- the first act, and it Is to be
observed that the entrance of the chief
actor has been arranged Just as the
national campaign rn the congressional
districts snd the various state con
tests will be resdy to open. It will be.
Indeed, a long and complicated drama
before they are through with it. but
obviously Mr. Brysn snd the rest of
the caste mean to plsy it for all It Is
worth.
THE ORAXD JVRT REPORT.
The report of the grand Jury that
haa Just been discharged Is s fair re
sume of the work done by thst body
not covered by the Indictments
biought, together with recommenda
tions as to the conduct of the Jail
which will, merit serious consideration.
What Is of psrticulsrly timely Im
portance are- the paragraphs relating
to the corrupt use of corporation
money In the electlona snd the charges
of ejection frsuds.
With reference to the former, the
grsnd Jury declares Its conviction that
the laws forbidding corporation contri
butions to campaign funds bsve been
disregarded, but that the evidence at
band la not sufficiently definite to place
the blame, at the door of any particu
lar person or to' warrant bills against
snyone. The numerous charges, there
fore, of corporation Interference with
primaries and elections will bave to
subside beneath this finding, but while
there is Indisputably some smoke, the
fire is not visible to the naked eye.
As to election frauds, the grand Jury
brought In Indictments against the
election boards In two precincts of the
Third ward, the chsrges covering ap
parently merely technical violation of
the election laws which the Jury In Its
report declares occurred also In many
other precincts. The general overstep
ping of legal restrictions calls forth the
recommendation that the authorities In
the future be more explicit In explain
ing the law governing the use of the
voting machine to the election officers.
Although the grand Jury was In ses
sion several weeks and accessible to all
who had complaints to offer, the tall
utorlos about wholesale colonizing of
voters, about fraudulent registration,
about repeating and Illegal voting,
failed apparently to materialise. Not
a single bill was brought against any
one for doing anything with a view to
casting a vote which he was not legally
entitled to cast. There must be some
credit to be derived from this by the
people of Omaha when so many other
cities around us have been Involved In
gross election frauds.
The recommendations of the grand
ury touching upon the conduct of the
county Jail are strictly In line with the
position taken by The Bee upon the
jail feeding contract when It was up
before the county board earlier In the
year. The " situation at the Jail has
reached a point where some new ar
rangementa must be made, and it de
volves upon the county board and the
sheriff to get together on a plan that
will provide, the proper accommoda
tlons for the prisoners and be fair to
all concerned.
It Is most gratifying to know that
according to the authoritative reports
Nebraska led all states In point of
number of cars of supplies contributed
for the relief of the San Francisco
earthquake sufferers, so far aa they
have been transported free of charge
over the Harrlman system. While
Omaha, of course, took the lead, alto
gether twenty-three cities and towns
In Nebraska collected and forwarded
one or more carloads of provisions,
Such a showing not only confirms the
prosperous condition of Nebraska that
enabled If to answer the call so
promptly, but also the generous and?
sympathetic feeling that prevails gen
erally among our people.
Why should the appointment of a
watchman for the city tool house be
sent to the council for confirmation
Is the council to be called upon to
confirm the selection of every clerk
and every janitor to make sure that
only the elect go on the payroll? No
previous council to this ever bothered
to say who should be wstchman of
the city tool house.
The local democratic organ Jumps
st the chance to spread the report
that Omaha Is the dumping ground
for "rotten and unfit food" and at the
same time boosts the suggestion
coupled with it tor an extensive or
ganlxstlon of municipal meat, milk
fruit snd food Inspection. A lot of
hungry democrats sre waiting, for
jobs.
Bondsmen of the former city treas
urer of Falls City assert that his bond
Is defective. One would think the
costly experience of Nebrsska would
have taught the lesson of seeing to it
thst all official bond were legally
drawd and secured by enforceable
guarantees. ,
Governor Folk may be pleased with
the endorsement of his administration
by the democratic convention of Mis
souri, but s the resolution endorsed
all administration which preceded his
others will be Inclined to consider his
shsre perfunctory.

thst It controls them everywhere. Others
re peaalmlsts and csn never think their
friends are as strong as their enemlas and
they are always looking for a chanc to
swap off a good, tried friend for any fel-
ow on the other side. Others think all
they needed to be leaders was a chance.
nd when they get a little start they want
to be the whole push, and so they begin
o tear down thoss who built them up. ,
Our thoughts are turned In this unpleaa
nt channel by the announcement of Judge
Crounse that he will accept the endorse
ment of the Pontanelle club of Omaha and
enter the race for .t.'nlted States senator
against Kdwsrd Rosewater. Here' is an
aggravated case of political contumacy.
Judge Crounse is an able man and has
made a good officer wherever ha hss been
tried and h haa drifted to the surf no
everal times In the course of a long life,
But It Is In him always ta go back on hi
friend and do them dirt. For that very
reason he has always had short stunts In
political life and Jong periods of enforced
Inaction. But In It all Edward Roaewater
haa been his most, .powerful friend. Ha
wa everlastingly proposing Judge Crounse
for every high position and whenever tha
Judge did emerge from obscurity It waa
because Mr. Rosewater dragged him out In
spite or bitter opposition.
Kven after o. M. Hitchcock. Crounsaa
son-in-law, had oomenoad his war of ex
termination upon Mrv Rosewater, and when
It was well known that Crounse was a
backer of and taiigal. stockholder In the
World-Herald, Mr. Rasewater continued to
boom him and his last nomination and
election to the governorship was duo en
tlrely to the powerful backing of the (d
Itor of The Bee. He asserted with truth
that Loranzo Crouaae wa honet In the
discharge or hi mclal duties; that there
was no scandal nor suspicion of peculation;

The force of tha blow dealt to tr man
agement nt the Pennsylvania railroad bv
the official confeaaton of graft mad (
fore the Interstate Commerce coatmteaton
waa reflected by Preetdent CaeeStt Mt h!a
hurried return from a Pnropean trip. Ever
sine he became president- of the company
In 1W his unvarying" custom was to avoid
tha Interviewer. He shunned publicity st
sealouely that newapaper men put him
down as a hopeless source of "copy." But
he was a different man when be landed
laet Saturday. Ha did not shun newspaper
men this time. Ha sought them and poured
out his feellnaa on the topic uppermost In
hla mind. "It was a changed Caaaatt who
rrlved." says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Where heretofore he haa appeared aelf.
poaeeaaed he seemed nervoua; where ha hss
been poaltive. he was wavering: where
e haa been Indifferent, he waa eager to
please; where he would bave ordered In-
uleitor away, ha took extreme pains to
eny himself to none.
"In saying that he seemed nervous, no
figure of apeech Is employed. At time
his hands twitched badly and his voice
broke. In every way his bearing gave
plsln evidence of his concern over tha
revelations of graft, holding tip of coal
Companlea, sending cars to fsvored com-
pantea and acceptance of gifts, etc., hy of-'
cers of tha grest corporation of which
he Is to head."
Whan A. J. Caaaatt was bom In Pitts

Poet, fortunee were not ao coloeaal a they

and It Is much easier to get an audience
than to rln admittance to the private of

It Is doubtful If an abler civil engineer

Is no rich Idler, no high-born Incompetent

It waa trimmed off by a course In tha

uated In 1SS9, a weil equipped civil en
gineer at th age of . He had a clear
head, a wonderful talent for mathematics,
and a Constitution that seemed to be de
signed to stand anything. .
Again, If thl were a sketch of your old-
fashioned business man. it would be re
corded that he husbanded hla trength, but
he didn't. He haa always smoked large,
neavy-et, black cigars, worth enouah to
buy a first-rate meal, and h ha smoked
aa many or them aa ha cared for. He has
never been a prohibitionist In fact, he waa
a gay, rollicking blade In hi youthful

edate about him now. RueaHl . Baca
would certainly have ald of him In those
days: "He will-never earn his salt. He's
too fond of having a good time. It'a play
ne s (oomng for, not work."
But young Caesatt "had the a-ooda to da.

wnen ne played, ne played.

B. Roberts, then president of the Penn
sylvania railroad, and exclaimed gleefully
Mr. Roberts, we have secured control of
th Philadelphia. Wilmington 4 Balti
more railroad. W are not disposed, how
ever, to disturb your relations with tha
property, and you need not give yourself
any uneasiness on that score."
vThls road, owned by New England capi
talists, extended from Philadelphia to Bal
timore,1 and had been operated In the Inter-
eats of the Pennsylvania. The Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, alway on the lookout
for an open path to New York, coveted
the small but Important stretch of track
and resented the Pennsylvania control of
It.
President Roberts waa amased and not a
little discomfited by the easy assurance of
Mr. Garrett. As soon as the exultant Bal
tlmore & Ohio man had gone there was
a conference between President Roberts
and Mr. Cassatt.
"Garrett says they've got the Phila
delphia. Wilmington A Baltimore," said Mr.
Roberts.
"Oh. no, they haven't," replied he gen
eial manager.
That night there was a meeting of Penn
sylvania railroad dlrectora In New York.
Mr. CasHatt was the presiding genius. He
told them where h could lay his hands
on a block of Philadelphia Wilmington lc
Baltimore atock that would put the
control forever In the hands of th
Pennsylvania railroad. Before the direc
tors rose from their chairs a check was
drawn for tH.M9.0ui.lU. It hangs In a frame
now on the malls of the-treasury of the
Pennsylvania railroad, cancelled to show
that the money waa there- waiting when It
waa presented.
Mr. Cassatt-jiever made a speech befwre
a large audience In - bis 'life, and frankly
rnnfrsaes thst he can't. Among a small
company, of men h can talk forcibly and
Inclajvrly. but when tha crowd swells be
yond the dimension of a directors' meet
ing he becomes tongue-tied, and ran t find
fiie right word. '
That a man so bashful, ao timid, could
ever become a captain of finance aeenia ab
surd, yet such ar th contradictions of
the man. He shrinks before an audience
of a hundred friendly men. and attack
with the utmost fearlessness powers In the
money world like John D. Rockefeller nnd
Uforge Could The. rmanclal leauWa were
astounded at h!a temerity when he ordered
the Western t'nion polea along tha Penn
sylvanis lines rut down over night, de
liberately destroying thouaanda of dollars'
worth of property, and Incurring the un
dying enmitv of a combination that caa
aend stocks up or down at will, and shut

Memorial day Into a holiday for base ball gone the packers hold th advantage In
matches, golf, races and games In general I me argument they have advanced In their
Inspired one state last week to a vigorous answer. At least this is true In th opln
effort to correct the tendency. Nebraska . ion that will prevail In packing centers,
had passed a law to make that day a reM where the public Is most familiar with the
observance of service and commemoration j condition that exist In the stock yard and
In honor of patriotism and the soldier dead, j peeking houaes.
Moreover. It did lt-for on day. I's pop"-
latlon made no contribution to the sporting
pages of the newspapers the next morning.
Bo far aa the reports show, the only failure
to observe the law was that of a golf club
t Lincoln.
To those who appreciate the meaning of
the commemoration It has seemed some
thing close to desecration that a day pro
poeed for reviving sacred memories should
be converted by a subsequent generation
to a holiday for jinks and Jubilee, with as
much harmony to the topic of the day as
the Chinese firecracker has to the Declara
tion of Independence. But we can hatdly
Impute It, a an offenae, to th present
generation that It has lost the powerful
memories of over forty years sgo. The
population of thl day and all the mora
that of twenty year hence will be likely
to Ignore law that their urchins shall
not play base ball, the elders golf and
their bleaahers go untenanted on a public
holiday:
Nevertheless the question remains
whether It I worth while to preerv a
holiday If Its purpose is Ignored ssve hy
remnant. There la practical value In
the recent suggestion to have Memorial
day observed on the last Sunday In May.
Its -character Is In harmony with that
day, and while It might not be universally
observed It would not be marrod by a
universal prevalence of base ball, 'picnics.

So far as the Ncill-Reynolds report ha
In ,h'r words, people who have visited
me packing housea and have noted for
themselves the general care and cleanliness
observed In the handling of meats, will
not admit that there I rood ground for
disturbing th live atock and packing busi
ness on the score of sanitation, to which
the preliminary note sent to congress was
confined. It would seem to be self-evident
that great establishments, with big In
vestment of capital and with a sensitive
trade of enormous proportions to protect.
