The situation In Cuba will probably cause Spain to wonder what the new republic gained by the revolution. With two vessels stuck on the rocks of the Hawaiian Islands, there may be a good reason for a new survey of the Pacific since the earthquakes. If free silver Is no longer an Issue. the spirit which projected It to the front may be found to be a moving factor In current political events. Premier Stolypln is said to have the t confidence of the czar. Now If he can secure that of the people, jdynamJtg makers might find a slower market. The report that a number of Polish "anarchists" have escaped may be the beginning of an attempt to secure a ( few political prisoners from American shores. . i -'.: Now that it has been legally estab lished that ice companies have sold - short weight Ice, the argus eyes of the public will probably be turned on the coal dealer. Texas Is not exactly asking that the new rate law be declared retroactive In its effect, but simply wants a new order on an alleged continuous dls . crimination. Connecticut democrats must have a peculiar Idea of the eternal fitness of things, since they declared one speech to be "too political" for a reception to W. J. Bryan.

Up to date they are still on the open range and guiltless, of. saddle marks. Bishop McCabe ls evidently of the opinion that the "administrations" of the life insurance companies have suc ceeded In clearing themselves before the policy holders got aroused. 1 In asking that' barber supplies be furnished to soldiers at cost General Williams intimates that troopers should remain familiar with cold steel, even though the saber Is going out of Vse. The Washington .Star thinks Mr. Bryan will be out of the presidential race If the democrats do not win the congressional campaign of this year on the Issues outlined In his New Tork speech; but the Star does not seem to 'realise the "staying power" of the Nebraskan. .

Today all that remains earthly of Edward Rosewater, founder and for thirty-five years the. active spirit of The Bee, will be consigned to earth. . His was a peaceful ending of a strenuous and sturdy life. Through out Wis whole career his resistless en ergy knew no slack nor brake. He was busy with the work of the world to the Very moment he was called. ' The keynote of Edward Rosewater'i career Is devotion to public duty. In his definition, the editor of a great newspaper Is a man who consecrates himself unreservedly to the champion ship of the people's rights. He tried to live up to the fullest measure of that duty. It was always the great end to be achieved that he kept constantly In view. Personal discomfort and finan cial sacrifice were disregarded when once his Judgment told him he was enlisted In a righteous cause. Con trary to what many have been led by his political antagonists to believe, he rose above personal likes and dislikes in his one aim to discharge his duty fearlessly to the public. He would fight today shoulder to shoulder with the bitter enemy of yesterday, and no claim of the friend of today could In duce Edward Rosewater to shield him tomorrow from the Just penalty of faithlessness to a public trust. So also In his own ambitions, they were ever subordinated to his idea of the puMJc welfare. He had repeatedly declared that he Would want no offi cial honor unless conferred on him by the people themselves, nor would he consent to take any position within the gift of his fellow citizens unless satis fied, that he could render them the most efficient service. , , . On his return from Rome only two months ago Mr. Rosewater empha sized this in speaking to his news paper : family,' who had gathered to gether to greet him, telling them that while he appreciated their good will and cordial expression, he would not want any of them to support him for senator because of his employment or unless he conscientiously felt that he was the proper person. Again, in an address a few days later to the loyal friends who made up his delegation, he sold: "We have had so many fierce con "tests in years - gone by, covering a "third of a century, so much had been "done .to misrepresent my views and "misquote mo and misrepresent every- "thing that I did or attempted to do, "that It was a great treat for me to "read the almost ' unanmlous com "mondation my candidacy received. "So far as t am concerned, ' I have "always wanted to know how it will "be when I am gone. I left my boys "in charge ot the establishment to see "whether they could conduct the paper "that I had founded as well, or fairly "as well, to the satisfaction ot the "publio. , I felt that the labor ot a "lifetime should not be lost I also "had wondered what might be said "when I am gone by people who have "known me, and what has been said "by the state press I appreciate more "than I would if I had the commission "of senator right here on this table, "because the senatorshtp will neither "raise me In my stature nor in the "estimation of the people after all. In "fact, it may have the reverse effect, "for no public man can possibly sat "isfy everybody any more than can an "editor." . . Above all. Edward Rosewater hated hypocrisy, shams and frauds and Idealised honesty and integrity. Every fiber ot his being revolted against treachery, Ingratitude and the betrayal of personal or publio trust. Nothing could tempt him to recede from a line of duty once mapped out. Neither the glamor ot office nor the glitter of gold could swerve him from the right as he saw it , Riches would have poured .into his lap and the trying hardships of his struggling days been easily averted, had ho been willing to listen to the siren song of the bribe giver, but none dared approach him a second time. His last message to the people of his beloved Nebraska Is thoroughly characteristic. Having seen another chosen for the place to which he as pired,' he pledged him his support and appealed to the convention, in com pleting the ticket, to nominate only clean men men for whom no one need apologise "so that the word Integ rity may bo placed above the state house door." Such a life must be an inspiration to all who are to come after. It would be an enduring monument even if those other enduring monumentsThe Bee and its beautiful home, both ot which he loved text only to his family did not shine out to all as beacon lights to what can be accomplished by the unselfish greatness ot one daunt less man. ' VICTOR ROSEWATER. Europeans are fond of telling how easily Americans are gulled by smooth swindlers from the other side who carry bogus titles. The LIU is a trua one, but then It is not all one-elded. The American grafter ts busy over on the other side and one who recently poeed as a Harvard oarsman worked uetels and lasaloaabls ahops of London. Brother Jonathan is apt to be careless about spending his money, but he generally manages to pick up his share, by some means or other. POSSIBILITIES Or VIltATVBKD ALCOHOL. The Inquiry now being made into the possibilities of denatured alcohol opens an ever-widening field of useful ness for this product The early ad vocates of the adoption of the law re moving the revenue tax from alcohol under certain conditions based their arguments on its possible use in a lim ited number of arts. It was con tended that alcohol was necessary In the preparation of certain articles re quired in the manufacture of a lim ited number of lines ot goods. Among other things it was prominently put forth that the Germans had outrun the Americans In the manufacture of dyes solely by reason of the fact that the alcohol required in the processes could be obtained in Germany so much cheaper than was possible in the United States under the Internal rev enue laws. This Is but one of the several points featured by the advo cates of the denatured alcohol law. The introduction of the Internal combustion engine as a factor in the Industrial life ot the country brought even more prominently to the fore the necessity for a cheaper and safer form of fuel than was furnished by petroleum or petroleum products. This need is supplied by denatured alcohol. Actual experience in European coun tries, where petroleum and gasoline are not easily had. and where alcohol Is plentiful and cheap, has proven the utility of alcohol as a power producer. The fact that its combustion is more nearly perfect than that of either gas oline or vaporized petroleum Is a strong point In Its support, while the further fact that It produces power cheaper is perhaps the most potent argument that can be used in its be half. Such experiments as have been made In this country with alcohol as a power have not as yet been carried to a satisfactory conclusion. Some in vestigators have reported that more alcohol tnan gasoline was consumed to produce a given amount of energy, while thers have reached conclusions directly the reverse. Conditions un der which these tests have been made have varied so greatly that the re sults can hardly be accepted as defi nite and reliable. However, It has been demonstrated that under proper con ditions alcohol Is in every way satis factory as a fuel for the internal com bustion engine. Other investigators have turned their attention in the direction of dis covery and are rapidly widening the circle of usefulness to which alcohol Is adapted. One of the most recent announcements refers to its use as a light producer. It has been demon strated that alcohol produces, when burned In a mantel, a light equal to that of the best gas and under condi tions far more secure than are possi ble with gasoline or any of the other liquids that are vaporized for light ing purposes. Still further experi ments are being made looking to the end of demonstrating the possibility of using alcohol on a practical scale for heating and cooking. It (ls not improbable that within a reasonably short space of time these processes will have been developed to that point where the farmer of Ne braska and other states similarly sit uated can manufacture from his own grain each year a sufficient quantity of alcohol to furnish htm not only the power needed to drive his ma chinery and do all the work necessary to the cultivation of his land and the harvesting of his crops, but also to light and beat his house during the entire year and to provide his good wife with an economical, clean and perfectly safe fuel for the kitchen. THK COW ADD TUB BBS. While statisticians never tire of computing the great sources ot wealth such as mineral production, wheat, corn, cotton and other so-called staple products the other sources of wealth are most generally overlooked. Among the greatest of these In a state like Nebraska can be enumerated the cow and the hen, by-products, as it were, ot the farm. Just what the actual value of the yearly product of these amounts to. would be difficult. If not impossible, to calculate or even esti mate, but statistics recently compiled by the state labor bureau are an indi cation which will prove an eyeopener to the majority of people. From the returns of the railroads It Is shown that there were 12,623,297 pounds of butter, 18,021,368 dozens of ejgs, 11, 331,368 pounds of live poultry and 3,130,799 pounds of dressed poultry shipped out of the state during the year ending June 30, 1903. These statistics are undoubtedly under the correct amount, as Douglas county ts eliminated on. account ot the Impossi bility of eliminating the trans-shipments, and fall to take into account omissions and other modes ot trans portation than the railroads. They are sufficiently accurate, however, to furnish a basis for an Interesting com putation. At a most conservative estimate of the farm value of thase products they brought into the state during that year at least 34.600,000, and of this the despised hen is responsible for more than halt. In addition to the Income from the surplus product the more than 1,000,000 people in the state have been amply supplied. What this amounts to the person who has never given this great source ot wealth a thought can gain an idea by asking the housewife what the weekly ex pense bill for butter, eggs and pool try amounts to and uuiUnlylng this by 300,000, the approximate number of families in the state, as the weekly bill for these items. The resultant figures are certainly startling. The hen and the cow ot Nebraska are responsible yearly for a greater wealth production than either the gold or silver mines of any state in the union. The peaceful cow has chewed her cud and the friendly hen has cackled along for years doing this very same thing and never made any loud and boisterous clamor at the halls of the national congress for en couragement In the shspe ot free coinage of butter and eggs and torn the country upside down with the noise of the resultant strife. When you are boosting for Nebraska and telling about the great crops of corn and wheat Just drop in a friendly word for th cow and the hen, the unobtrusive workers who never tall you and help tide over the years when the crops are not so good. LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS. The failure of the trust company in Philadelphia, carrying with it not only the Investment of the stockholders, but the savings of thousands of others, emphasizes anew one of the defects, not in the organization, but In the operation . of too many of the banks and trust companies In which the con fiding public places Its cash for safe keeping. Scarcely an institution of the kind falls through the rascality or poor Judgment of the active officials, but It develops that had the directors conscientiously attended to the duties which the scheme of their organization contemplated the peculations which brought about the failure could not have occurred. In the case In point It appears the directors had not held a meeting for almost three years, and when they asked the clearing house for assistance these directors were un able to give any Information which would indicate to the assembled finan ciers whether they would, by extend ing aid, be tiding over an emergency or pouring still other millions down the sinkhole through which the de positors' and stockholders' millions had previously disappeared. It is strange that men who have earned the reputation of being careful and shrewd business men will Invest their money in the stock of such con cerns and then sit idly by, permitting the opportunity to dishonest officials to dissipate their cash. That they will Is evidenced by practically every failure of the kind. That they lose their own money Is of little or no mo ment to the public, and In the case ot institutions not public depositories they alone suffer for their carelessness or Indifference. In the case of banks and similar institutions, however, such Inaction Is morally if not legally crim inal. ..',. Almost invariably these directors are men chosen for the very reason that their names will be an open sesame to public confidence, and when they have been elected are content to draw their dividends from profits real ized on the deposits of people who have been lured by the glamor of a long list of prominent business men Into placing their money in the com pany's keeping. When the crash comes these honorable directors as a rule escape their financial liability as shiftily as they have previously es caped the duties of the office which they have held, but not filled. The prison door should as certainly close behind officials whose careless ness permits such peculations as upon the actual thief. It is poor consolation to have the man whose carelessness has broken your bones or lasccrated ycir flesh present the comforting as surance that "I didn't mean to do it." It brings no bread to the old and In firm who have seen their life savings swept away by the peculations of a bank president or cashier to have the negligent director advance the assur ance that he didn't know they were being robbed, or he would have pre vented It They are chosen to know these things and should know them, or, rather, so attend to their duties that rascality on such a grand scale would be an Impossibility. The plea they, have not the time to devote to such duties will not suffice. No man has a right to assume duties or re sponsibilities which he does not intend to fulfill. It the moral sense ot the obligation will not reach such men and prompt them to do their duty, the law should lay upon them a burden as will spur their activities. The dis honest official would be none the less prompted to misuse funds to which he had no right, for there would be, as now, the incentive to personal gain to set against the chances of detection. To the director who had no such op portunity or incentive of gain, but the same penalties' to face, It would be a corrective of laziness and indifference. Mr. George Kennan contributes to the current number of The Outlook a most earnestly written article regard ing the present conditions in Russia. Mr. Kennan is, probably, above all Americans qualified to write know ingly of the political situation In tho czar's dominion. The picture he draws is not one that Inspires much hope tor the Russian people in their present effort for. betterment of con ditions. It must be borne in mind al ways, however, that we are persist ently comparing Russian with Amer ican. The difference In the habit ot mind of the people of the two coun tries is rarely taken into considera tion, and what impresses the Amer ican as a most deplorable state ot af fairs Is too often accepted la Russia as a mere matter ot coarse. Some comfort may be found la the fact that the Russian mind la being slowly brought ap to that point where It can appreciate th terrible state ot affairs that now exists nsdsr th czar's gov ernment In this lies the only pros pect of any cessation ot the double reign of terror that now darkens the outlook in Russia. The packers are asking Secretary Wilson for more time In which to re form the labels on their cans. The trouble is, the packers are not so much worried about their inability to secure a new supply of labels as they are over what they will do with the product on hand and bearing the old brands, which the delicate stomach persist on taking with some discretion. The residents of Arkansas will have a double difficulty when the phonetlo style of spelling comes into vogue. The denizen of the Ozarks will have a harder time reconciling his pronuncia tion to that In vogue elsewhere than he now has with his spelling. Mr. Bryan Is inclined to poke fun at the statement that Mr. Roosevelt is the only logical republican candidate for president, and there is no doubt that, given his choice, he would select another. Dean Lewis, In his talk at the law yer's convention, complained that Jus tice was too alow. Undoubtedly, but Just make It certain and the people will not grumble at a little delay. Relief for Poor Spellers. Philadelphia Press. There are so many people who have al ways been such bad spellers that they won't have anything to learn under th new system. A Teroptlaa; Opportunity.

The Standard Oil company ts trying to buy up all the big distilleries In order to gain control of denatured alcohol. If It succeeds It will have the opportunity to redeem Itself by denaturing the whisky as wall. The Noise Nuisance. Washington Star. The demands of business are worthy of recognition, and commerce must be facili tated In every reasonable way. But the streets belong to the whole people, for their decent and orderly use, and monop olists of noise and uproar should le squelched as promptly as any other monop olists. The normal human being has a right to pursue his way without undue molestation or annoyance. Man Kleins; Above the Dollar, Philadelphia Record.

New Tork Commercial. Leas than a year ago Edward H. Harrl- mart declared that in railroading the coun try was Just entering upon "an era of competitive construction." The significance of the remark ts now seen- not only in th progress making In transportation better ments over a vast territory, especially In the west and southwest, but also In the re cent legislation looking to the elimination ot that other competition which runs countor to th "square deal." Now that the great railway systems can rest easy on the score of danger from underhand rebate rivalry they are found vigorously applying themselves to the problems more Important to the publio welfare, of how to keep race in their service with the In creasing demands ot the unmeasured ex pansion of the newer west. That west adds yearly millions of tilled acres and many thriving centers of population and Industries to Its practcally unserved terri tory. Aside from th transferred popula tion coming In and taking up Its fertile lands, there are th lands reclaimed by Irrigation and th mineral lands whose de velopment has added such enormous wealth and has drawn population from every part of th country. It la not a question so much of how to stimulate or rteal trad as how to keep abreast with tho business that ha grown up naturally In th terri tory to which extensions would eventually be mad aad which must now be reached by earlier application of the fund or the borrowing power created by some years of remarkable railroad prosperity whose end l not yet and, w trust, never will be.
