The appointment of William Plnck-
Dey whyte to the vacancy caused by
the death of Senator Gorman may well
be considered as an Important step In a
reorganlxatlon resolved upon
by the more liberal Maryland demo
cratic leaders, including Senator Ray
ner and Governor Warfleld. and as a
sign of a change of spirit which Is
affecting all party organization. Gor
man. was one of the last, as he was
one of -the completest representatives
of a type of masterful party mana
gers, who have long carried things
with an arbitrary hand. Quay and
Hanna are gone, and Piatt Is no longer
effective. Consummate skill enabled
Gorman somewhat to conceal his wan

Notwithstanding the "s u d d e n"
breaking of the news at Berlin of the
movement to make him the democratic
nominee two years hence. Colonel
Bryan does not fail to recur to the
generalities regarding democracy and
socialism which he prepared before
leaving on his world tour for Dublica-
tlon as a maeazlne article during his
b.ence. They were economic Dlati
a,ong a theoretical line of competl
tlon, hut with so many vague qualifi
cations that it left the whole field of
practical t.nUtlcal propositions open
for htm to choose one side or the
other as to any of them. His indefinite
avowal of aKeglance to the doctrine of
competition nevertheless has been
cited In some quarters as a hint that
Mr. Bryan in recent years has been
reacting toward "conservatism" from
the Radicalism of his previous public
stand, and the magazine article has
fiad so far some measure of success It
its real purpose was to create that Im
pression.
But hla comment at Berlin, evt
the subject of the political require-
ments of the day, ' leaves the entire
question of his program or of a pro
gram tor his party precisely In the fog
I where the magazine article to which
he refera left It. On no existing pollt
leal issue or pending practical propo
slUon Involving antagonism between
socialistic and democratic tendencies
does be define himself. He went on
record not long ago as suggesting state

ter, whether his theory of democracy
on the competitive Industrial system
fcUn includes thst or any other form
of practlce called socialistic now being
urted , the United States upon na
Uionai. state or municipal government
In short, Mr. Bryan's Berlin deliv-
ranee actually conceals, while pur-
porting to reveal the shoot he may
take as to the realities of our politics,
eren If he has yet made made up hi
mind, and the big banquet in New
York when he returns may or may not
solve the enigma. The one clear
point Is that the tidings from the
United States, however sudden. Is not
displeasing to the distinguished trav
eler.
FAITH SHOiry BY WORKS. j
The jubilee address of Rev. W. H. I
Van Antwerp..who officiated as the rec-
. , . . .... . ,
tor of Trinity cathedral in the earlj ,
60s, strikes a timely note in calling j
speclal attention to the firm faith of
the founders of Omaha. j
the city stands today, erected the first
buildings and underwent the rigors of:
pioneer life In a frontier town, were
guided strangely by a conviction that
they were laying the foundations of
future greatness, which they were sure
would come, although they knew not
how nor when. No one can fall to
marvel In looking backward that such
big results should have sprung from
such small beginnings.
The founders of Omaha, however,
had more than faith. They had enter
prise, pluck and vigor with which they
showed their faith by works. If with
the meager resources at their command
they were able to accomplish all that
thy did, surely the builders of Omaha
of today, with the . vastly increased
power at their command, and with
equal faith and equal enterprise, pluck
and energy, must make the Omaha of
fifty years from now contract as
favorably in point of progress and im
provement with the Omaha of today
as does, the Omaha of today with the
straggling village it was fifty years
ago.
With our faith shown in our works.
Omaha of the next generation will look
back to us as we are looking back to
the pioneers In admiring wonder at the
marvels that have been wrought.
The announcement by W. A. Paxton
of his disinclination to respond to the
call to serve as a member of the Water
board emphasizes the lrksomeness of a
job which carries a salary with nothing
to do for a man who Is not tn It for
the money and who has always been a
pusher and a doer. If Omaha had a
water plant to manage, men like Mr.
Paxton would be of great service in
the management. What is to be re
gretted is that if he refuses to qualify
for the place that has been tendered
him' it will be passed on to someone
with less ability and less scruple.
The latest evidence of the antag
onism of the local democratic organ to
the newly elected democratic mayor is
the projection by the former of W. S.
Poppleton for the democratic nomina
tion for governor with a view to head
ing off the talk in favor of Mayor Dahl
man for that honor. All of which sug
gests the question to certain other
democrats. Where was Mr. Poypleton
In the late municipal campalf.n?
The Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners has again signalized itself
by the summary dismissal of an officer
who had been arrested and pleaded
guilty in the police court to the charge
of intoxication. An example like this
occasionally ought to have a restrain
ng effect upon members of the force
subject to temptation.
Our old-time friend. James H. Van
Dusen, writes a letter to the public to
correct a published misstatement to
the effect that he .is a member of the
Board of Insanity. To be strictly ac
curate the original statement ahould
have said that he Is a member of the
Board of Political Insanity.
The invitation extended to railroad
pret'1ent8 to testify before the Inter
state Commerce commission at Phila
delphia would indicate that the com
missioners want to get both sides of
the case without forcing the hands of
those responsible tor conditions.
The Milwaukee Refrigerator Transit
company has neen perpetually en

The new Omaha city directory for
1905 has at last made Its appearance

A notable engineering feat I undr w f
In the Harlem ship canal this week. An
old drawbridge, unsulted to the need f
a trolley company, I to be moved to an
other location a mile away and a tie
modern span placed on tl.e Ue thu va
cated. Both spans will be moved by
barge. ' The new draw, weighing l."
tone, will be placed on four barge each
measuring 11x110 feet. .The brge will
be partly filled with water o that they
will sink forty-one Inches, and with the
eld of four tug will proceed from the
foot of Two Hundred and Seventh street
and Harlem river to the bridge, a distance
of a mile. With the aid of the rising tldo
and by pumping out the greater part of
the water from the barges, the draw1 will
be hoisted to It position, the tide being
practically ued a a monster crane.
The draw will be opened and when ?n
llgnment with the river two barges will
be placed aide by lde under the forwar l
part of the span directly behind two
ug, the same being done with the other
two barge at the rear of the bridge. Here
also will be two tugs. All four bsrgea
will be lashed together with steel cable
and timber braces Interlocked.
Each of the draw la valued at about
1200,000 and the allghtet accident might
precipitate them to the bottom of the
Harlem rtver. Thu the Job la a ticklish
peratlon from many polnte of view.
Only a few yeara ago blcyollets were
frequently arrested for violation of some
provlalon or another of the New Tork or
dlnancea deemed neceasary to protect pe
dotrlans, a well as the wheelmen theni
selvea. The commonest causea of arrest
were speeding and failure to carry a
lighted lamp after dark. Today It Is most
unusual for a person to be held up by a
policeman for auch offenaes. In fact. It
seems that the absence of lamp and bell
once such a aertoua matter haa ceased
to be regarded as a cause for arrest. After
dark the riders steal silently by, like flit.
ting shadowa without either light or
aound to give warning of their approach.
Nobody aeema to interfere with them and
they do not seem to cause trouble to any
body else. Accldenta are seldom' heard ot
and the fact that middle-aged pedestrian
are able to apeak of the wheel without
growing choleric Indicate that they are
not being or feeling annoyed by thoae who
atlll cling to the use of It.
A dealer In blcyclea was heard to tell a
customer the other day that If he waa
going to ride only within the city llmlta
there would be.no reason for him to buy
any accessory but an air-pump, but that If
he contemplated croaalng the Hudson
river now and then, he had better get a
lamp at least.
The cruiser Pennsylvania, now at the

which was presented to the ship last fall
by the people of Pennsylvania and which
coat 2,000.
The punch bowl, which la the marvel of
visitors, stands in the cabin. It holds
just thirty-two gallons. Just how It came
to hold that particular number of gallona
Captain McLean of the Pennsylvania ex
plained to some visitors the other day.
You aee," he said, "I waa rather curious
myself aa to why they hit on thirty-two
gallona, so when the presentation com
mittee came aboard I asked the lieutenant
governor of Pennsylvania about It. 'Well,'
he aald, 'we had about made up our mlnda
to have It hold thirty gallona of punch
when, some one spoke up and moved that
we throw In two more gallons for the old
man. It waa carried unanimously.'
"And that waa before any of them had

A letter written by David R. Forgan,
vice president of the First National bank
of Chicago, to a member of a New Tork
banking firm describing his Ideal of the
business man. Is being spread through
New York'a business section by the firm
and la attracting attention among men
In all classes of business. The ' letter
suggests these rules for the business man
who may hope to devote hla life to
making money without being aordld:
Be honest, making money honestly or
not at all. " t
Be fair, refusing to Injure a competitor.
Be kind, regarding employes u some
thing more than an Investment.
Be charitable, giving liberally for the
uplifting of humanity.
He heal toy. exercising aa a duty.
Be sociable, having a side to friends
not known to all.
Be sympathetic, fearing littleness of
aoul more than littleness of fortune.
Be broad, accumulating resources higher
than material.
Above all. be true to self, condoning
nothing In self which Is to be condemned
in others.
While continuing, until the final dis
position of the caae. the injunction obtained
by the Conaolldated Oaa company of New
Tork. whereby the proaecutlng officers of
the state are restrained from enforcing t"he
penaltlea of the eighty-cent gaa law. Judge
Lacombe of the United State circuit court
declined to broaden the scope of hla Inter
locutory decree. The court bad been asked
to require consumer to pay the M rate
or to permit the company to collect the
10 cents difference by summary measures,
such ss cutting off the supply. Thla leaves
consumer th option of tendering the legal
rate and applying to the state courts to re
strain the company from shutting off the
gaa. The Judge furthermore holds that
the power of public authorities to prescribe
a rat to be charged for a public nervtc
by a public utility company is beyond
question.
An automobile owner recently noticed
that hla car. stored in a Brooklyn garage,
ahowed signs of use out of all proportion
to the runs he had made in It. He men
tioned the fact to the garag superin
tendent, who blandly assured him that th
car waa In perfect shape, barring a few
scratches it had received when a delivery
truck accidentally ran Into It. So th owner
forgot all about the matter until a couple
of day later, when a friend stopped him
on th street.
"Hullo, Tom," exclaimed the friend. "I
aee you had an accident yeaterday."

Prosperity haa a good deal to do with the
big treasury receipts. The county has

why more things ar being bought abroad
than waa done a year age la that the home

i One ha proposed to fall without any at- t

The senate pasaed the empl.iyei' !l)l1t
accident was due te the negligence t.r In
capacity of a fellow employe. .,
Thl legislation recognise .a difference
between the liability of such an employer
a rallrod company and a manufacturer
whose work Is carried on at one place an.1
where the consequence of carelene or
neglect may be more readily, avoided by
the fellow employe than In the case of the
railroad, where the cause of the accident
may be many mile removed and where It
may be utterly Impossible for the Inlured
employe to guard himself against dsnge
For example, a careless dispatcher make
a mistake by reason of which two railroad
train collide. The train employe ar In
jured, but the employer Is not, under thl
act, to ecap liability because of the blame
attaching to the dispatcher. The trainmen
could not protect themselvea against the
danger. They have nothing to say about
the employment of dispatchers or about
their efficiency, while the employer alone
I responsible. At th same time, railroad
companiea have been escaping liability for
damage on th principle of th liability of
the co-employes; and while psengra snd
owner of freight hav been abl to collect,
damage. Injured employe or thetr sur
viving dependent hav had great difficulty
In doing ao. Thla I a manifest Injustice
which the legislation Is calculated to re
move. The bill will go from the senate
to conference, but will undoubtedly pass at
this seaslon.
Its success in the senate la attributed to
Senator LaFollette, and la quite fen Im
portant result to be accomplished by a new
man at his first session.

I've ridden nigh a thousand leagues upon
two bands of steel,
And It takes a grixsled Westerner to know
Just how I feel;
Th ranchea dot the atrongholds of the old
time saddlemen.
And the glory of the cattle days can
ne'er come back again.
O, the creak of saddle leather
'O,- the t1nk Of -upland 'weather.
When the cowmen roamed the foothill and
drove In ten thousand steers;
Through th year, back In the dream
ing, I can see the eampflre gleaming.
And th lowing of the night herd sound,
all faintly. In my ear.
There's a checkerboard of fences on the
vest snd windswept range.
And the haystacks and the windmills mska
the landscape new and strange;
And the plains are full of farmers, with
their harrowe and their ploughs;
On the roadsides loiter kidleta who are
"driving home the cows:"
O. the quickly faded glory
Of the cowbov'a brief, brief story!
How th old range beckons vainly In the
sunshine snd the rain.
O, the reek of roundup battle,
And the thund rlng hoofs of cattle
But why dream a ussles day dream that
can only give one pain?
Where have gone those traila historic.
Where the herders sought the mart?
Where have gone the aaucy cowtowns.
where the gun man playel hi psrt?
Where has gone the Cattle Kingdom, with
ita armed, heroic strife
Each haa vanished like a bubble that has
lived It little life.

And tha blood that went -"nIlnfh.o.
