DEMOCRATIC DILEMMA IX MEW TOHK. Tho democratic situation In Now York, whoso vital relation to tho poli tics of 1101 is well understood, has been much clarified by. th action of tbo state convention of tho Independ ence League, which Is a tool largely shaped by William Randolph Hearst for . his purposes, and which be de signed to force the democratic conven tion to nominate him for governor. But tho league convention took itself seriously, and wbtl placing Hearst at th head of its ticket, nominated, in spit of blm. a full state ticket also, thus narrowing bis opportunity for a trafficking fusion with tho regular democracy. The result, therefore, is practically narrowed To" a regular dem ocratic candidate against Hearst, or, if by any possibility h should d able to manipulate th regular nomination by an alliance with Tammany, Public Prosecutor Jerome will stand as an In dependent ' democratic ' candidate, either result hopelessly splitting the opposition to tho republicans and ren dering Hearst's success In tho contest an utter Impossibility. . But tho complication with respect to Mr. Bryan or, mora broadly, with th democratic outlook, ar far mora serious. With a regular democratic nomine other than Hearst, bis po tency and. temptation for mischief In the future will be multiplied, and tho Nebraska statesman, If ho should ven ture within the Empire state at all, would necessarily be thrown into an tagonism to the yellow Journal cham pion, while ho would have to mortally offend a powerful democratic element If the latter should by hook or crook seize the regular nomination. The dilemma Is becoming so apparent that both factions ar beginning to ac knowledge It, while the republicans build themselves mansions on Easy street. The most serious phase, however, bears against the rehabilitation, of the ancient scheme of a union of tho Solid South and New York for 1908. QUICK OOLD BEINrORCEUEST. The gold import movement facili tated by the Treasury, . making $20,000,000 available at New York during the week ending last Saturday, has been much more rapid than when the system was first inaugurated to meet the emergency caused by San Francisco losses. From its beginning on April IS to its' end on May 5 a total of $4, 300,000 was imported un der the privilege of securing treasury surplus immediately upon engagement of gold abroad and deposit with the government 4f approved bonds, which need not be national bonds. Appar ently, therefore, as largo an amount, If it be required and gold conditions abroad do not change, can now Be drawn within a tar shorter period' to strengthen our currency, situation, which certainly Is a rapid method of inflation not dreamed of a few years ... ,, As tho average period of transit, bo; tween engagement in London and ar rival In New. York, the gold then going directly into the subtreasury, is only two weeks, the . government would within that time after the last opera tion under the treasury privilege re coup the full amount of its advances. Thus thre would still be. not leu than $40,000,000 of surplus funds available for deposit in the ordinary form with national banks if need for emergency financing of crop movement and gen eral business should continue. Relief of pertodlo autumn currency stringency by treasury aided gold Im portation, it is to be remembered, is conditioned npon a sufficient treasury surplus and favorable gold conditions abroad, both of which circumstances are present now, as they were last April. BESCVEOFA FINANCIAL WRECK. The contrivance of mean whereby a Philadelphia trust company, which three weeks ago was discovered to be wrecked and robbed of between $5,000,000 and $7,000,000. will very shortly open Its doors as a solvent going concern, is a memorable feat of financial , organization and full of hopeful significance. It is the more remarkable because th depositors vol untarily exchange the greater part of their claims for stock in th wrecked Institution, one-third only being avail able for cash on demand. : The ar rangement, however, preserving tho good will and business and other Im mensely valuable assets, which would Infallibly . have ben dissipated by liquidation, is such' thr.t th stock is expected to be immediately or soon worth par, so that depositors who need cash are practically . assured the amount of their deposits with little delay or loss. But . the most notablo fact is that this transaction was made possible by the action of th directors In acknowl edging their moral obligation to re place, as' they have Instantly done, sev eral million dollars lost . through a trusted president and other officers who suffered, themselves to be bis tools or dupes. ' It was conceded after thorough Inquiry thaC.as to most of tho directors there either wa no legal liability or none that could bo prac tically enforced so as to recoup depos itors' losses. Nevertheless they' came forward and from - their .private) for tunes made good the heavy sum neces sary as a basis for the depositors' ac ceptance of stock tor two-thirds of de posits, which firmly re-establishes sol vency, saving all Interests and ulti mately possibly even those of th di rector. .... Th fundamental point la the con fession of the directors of tbelr moral obligation, even If their legal obliga tion was not practically enforcible, to have known and prevented tho looting , of tbo Institution by a criminal execu tive officer. There Is no other reason for tho existence of directors than thus to know and to direct with knowledge, and their function is necessarily one of special trust on tho part of depositors. And the hopeful aspect of this signal act of acknowledgment of paramount moral duty Is not merely the repair of a great wrong to the several thousand depositors of the wrecked Institution, but more especially the admonition it affords to directors of all such trust Institutions to bo forehanded and vigi lant in their trusts. WAKTKD-A CLE A It TICKET. The advice given by the late Ed ward Rosewater to the republican state convention that in completing their ticket they should nominate only clean men men for whom no apologies would be needed applies with equal force to the republicans of Douglas county in nominating their legislative and county tickets at today'a pri maries. " Under the new primary law there is no bar whatever to any one who feels so inclined to have his name filed as a candidate for nomination. In taking advantage of this license a lot of graft ers, corporation cappers and disrepu tables have had their names placed upon the official ballot. If any of them should by chance happen to be nominated they would surely be de feated at the polls, because the people of Douglas county are not In the mood to go into the apologizing business. Fortunately, only one of these spot ted candidates seems to have even a modicum of backing that calls for con centrated effort to ward him off. Chronic Candidate Andersen Is receiv ing his reward for subserviency to the railroad bosses in having the railroad political agents rally to his rerftue and it behooves the republicans who want a winning ticket to make sure that he Is kept off of it Only with a ticket made up of clean men who" can command the undivided allegiance of all the local republican elements, will a reasonable assurance of success be had. A DUTY or DEMOCRATS. The decent democrats of Omaha owe a duty to the public in today's pri maries to see to it that the notor ious "Jim" Connolly is not allowed to satisfy his ambition to be put in the way of getting a place on the Water board. Connolly served onco as a member .of the county board and he went out of office unhonored and un mourned. While there, be earned the reputation of being a cheap grafter and should he connect with another official position he may only be ex pected to pursue the same disreputable practices by which he disgraced the county board. The Bee does not consider Itself the guardian of the democrats of Omaha. Th warning against Connolly should have been given by tho World-Herald aa the democratic organ, but In his eager desire to promote his own politi cal Interests as a candidate for con gress tho editor of that paper does not seem to care what kind of associates are put on the ticket with him. This is a matter, however, which concerns all our citizens, regardless of politics. The Water board is not now perform ing any very important duty, but it has a $6,000,000 suit to defend, and in the event that Omaha should ac quire the water works plant it would have a vast financial Interest to pro tect for the taxpayers. The two mem bers elected this fall will be commis sioned for six years, and no one can tell what may not happen before that time expires. , i Realising that under the peculiar provisions of the charter we must have a 'democrat as one of the two mem bers to be chosen, we are at least en titled to a reputable and honest 'demo crat . The problems before the . school board now are for the most part busi ness problems, which will require busi ness experience and talent for their solution. The man who has contribu ted most toward systematizing the business of the school board is John L. McCague, who is now serving as the president of the board, and who shotild by all means be retained by renomlna tlon and re-election. Two other out going members of business experlenoe, whose services are of great value to the schools, are Robert Dempster and Charles Harding, both of whom are serving short terms and are entitled to retention In recognition of what tbey have already done. Irrespective of the desire in some quarters to change tho personnel of the board, these three outgoing members should without question be returned for the good of the schools. ' Mayor Brown of Lincoln has prop agated a new scheme by which the) legislature is to be asked to ap propriate the money needed to provide a series of boulevsrds for the capital city under pretense of connecting the state farm, the state insane asylum and the state penitentiary with the city streets by paved roadways. Doug las county has paved its country roads at Its own expense, but under . this philanthropic proposition is to be per mitted to pay again to pave the road ways In Lancaster county, and the same applies to every other county In tho state, not favored with legislative generosity. Why should not Lincoln and Lancaster county pay their own bills for local public Improvements onco In a while? Secretary Root's campaign In South America may never develop Into a presidential boom, but its advantage to th United States cannot be doubted. . Candidate Sballecberger baa become infected with the letter writing virus. He ought to know that in an epistolary interchange with an editor, the editor always has the last word. That Chinese viceroy who finds the cause Of Western superiority in the Bible may be surprised to learn that, practically' at least - the westerners think it Is to be found In their guns.

Any attempt made to execute the. laws .within the limits of tho reservation will lead to orders to the war den or any one else attempting such en forcement to desist. If the state official persists, the military authorities may re move him from the reservation. Brigadier General T. J. Wlnt. IT. S. A., commanding fhe Department of the Mis souri, In his annual report touches upon the system of training to which troops ar now subjected. He la of the .opinion that a march of twelv or eighteen miles one a week will not keep men and public animals In a hardened condition and ready for active service, no more so than formerly, when weekly marches were not required. It Is thought the desired hardened condi tion can be attained by the dally and varied drills of from ' two to three hours with changes In equipment, at least one hour each day being employed In drills under full equipment; ' guard mount and guard duty (guarding of prisoners excepted) to be in Held kit; drills to be held In all sorts of weather and season of the year. . A three-day march with full euqipment once a month, and i. fifteen-day march at th close of th drill season, or following th termination of maneuvers or camp of con centration, are also recommended. General Wlnt also . advocates frequent winter marches of from ons. to two hours wltb and without th field kit, in order to ac custom men and animals to bad and slip pery roads. General Wlnt also takes up the subject Of bartering In uniform cloth ing. Ha describes the Incident which re cently occurred of. the soldier who parted with his shoes for. a dollar's worth of bar checks, and, was . content to walk . sock footed a quarter of a mile In f reextng weather. through th snow.. It la felt that something should be done to prevent this sale of clothing and that on of th reme dies would be the turyitng In of clothing .by a discharged soldier and th prohibition of purchases of clothing by clfJtens. . Th Register prints a long letter, evi dently written by an army officer, though he hides his Identity under th single Ini tial "B.,"'ln which th writer strongly argues against promotion by selection In th army and navy. "I must say," h says In th concluding- paragraph," that It will b a sad day for th tervlc when very officer must look for his fences to Insure his regular and deserved advance ment and that It will b a sad day for th nation when" It sends to war an army 1 and navy torn by Jealousies and dissen sions because of officers chosen by even the best method of selection that It would be possible to formulate under our system of government." Th santlmenu of th writer Is said ' to reflect that of army officers in general, the outburst being provoked by th promo tion of Captain John J. Pershing to a brigadier generalship.

It has been understood for two years that President Roosevelt Intended to make Pershing a brigadier general. He became conspicuous In th Philippine service, sad. In th opinion of th president, deserved substantial reward for his gallantry. Th suggestion of such a reward as a gensral ship cuused many protests within th army and th cry that In order to recognise on officer the president would do an Injustice to hundreds of others.

Death ends all feuds. How forcibly was this shown In the demise of Edward Rose water.' No man In Nebraska had more political enemies In life. No man who has died In Nebraska In recent years was so truly -mourned by frlenda and so fully for given by enemies. The tribute to his great ness was spontaneous and cam from hon est hearts. .

The death of Edward Rosewater will cause a vacancy In Nebraska's public af fairs not ' easily filled and a loss which can not be forgotten In years. - His fear lessness In advocating what he considered right and his fight against wrong was his strong point, yet It left him many per sonal enemies, who took every opportunity to defeat him in his ambition tor higher honors and a place where he could do more for his home stat. Leader and Able Writer. Gothenburg Independent. The sudden death of EM ward Rosewater, editor of The Omaha Bee, came aa a sur prise and shock to the people cf the west. For the last twenty years the people have been attached to Mr. Rosewater through th Influence of The Bee and have learned to recognise him aa the political leader of the republican party In Nebraska, and his sudden death takes from the ranks of the editorial staff, for honest reform In national and state government, its ablest writer. One of the Blsr Men. Munroe Republican. The death of Edward Rosewater, founder and editor of The Omaha Bee, removes one of the big men of the west one who helped to make Omaha and the state of Nebraska. He was a self-made man and by his tireless energy built up a news paper that became a power In national affairs. He was one of the few great editors of the Horace Greeley type, and during the last thirty years waa responsible for the success or failure of som of the prominent men of Nebraska. The name of Edward Rosewater will always be coupled with the development of the middle west during- the last third of a century. Remarkable Career. Pierce Leader. His death 'marks the end of a remark able career. Coming to Omaha tn 1S71, at the age of SO years, " he became founder and editor of The Omaha Ree, and Immedi ately began his work for Omaha and Ne braska, and tMs work did not cease until desth claimed the worker. Everything that led to the upbuilding and advancement of his home city and state found hearty sup port in Edward Rosewater, while anything that he considered detrimental to their development received his bitterest censure. His-power, and Influence canpot be meas ured and will continue to have their effect upon the affairs of the state long after the body of Edward Rosewater baa been laid to rest for Its long sleep. . Brainy, Acareaalve, Bnergretla. Crawford Tribune. Edward Rosewater, founder of The Omaha .

In the death of Mr. Rosewater Nebraska and the west loae their ablest champion, for he waa without exception the most brainy, aggressive and energetic all around newspaper man west of the Mississippi river. In fact, In order to mak comparison with Edward Rose wster's ability In his chosen and successful field one Is carried back to the days of Bennett, Greeley, . Raymond and Bryant, the former of whom he more closely re sembled in ability to build up and to Initiate and conduct a light against Ms own conceptions of wrong. He Waa Success. Harvard Courier. In the death of Edward Rosewater, editor of The Omaha Bee, which occurred last week Thursday night suddenjr in The Bee building, a strong- and conspicuous charnn- . ter has been removed from Nebraska's lire and American Journalism has lost on of It brightest votaries. Commencing In life with no capital but brains and an Indomi table will, a confidence that could not b ahaken and an Industry , that never flagged, he was a success In his chosen field In all that the name implies. - Tributes Fltttan-. Wood River Interests. The encomiums passed upon the life of Edward Rosewster, lat of The Omaha Bee, from the ablest and best Journals of the country are but fitting tributes to a great man. The- bitter animosities that Mr. Rosewater had engendered through political turmoil. had blinded many of the people of Nebraska to hi great abilities and the tremendous fores and ' strength of his character. He Was a man of In domitable courage, of ceaseless and un tiring energy, and did as much as any man In Nebraska to help build up the state and the city of Omaha. No one had more powor or greater force In shaping the destinies of Nebrsska than he. Thinker and Door. Lynch Journal. The death of E. Rosewater Is the pass. Ing of on f Nebraska's greatest cltiaens.

St. Paul Republican: What' the matter with organising a George U Sheldon club composed of Nobraaka-born voters T The native Nebraskan ever given a place on the republican nominee for governor Is the first state ticket. Wllber Republican: The two democratic sheets which wllber la blessed with are tumbling over each other In their efforts to show how Shallenberger will slsm It to the railroads when he get to be governor. Doubtless that Is the reason the railroad f wing of th democratic party nominated Mm and turned down Berg. They wanted somebody in that would slam It to them and they were afraid Bergs wouldn't do a good Job of It. Columbus Journal: To secure the right kind of a rate law next winter, one that will be Just to shipper and railroad alike, will require a high order of ability on the part of the next legislature. It will be Just as dangerous to send a railroad enemy to Lincoln as to send a railroad tool. Sanity, common cense, broad-mindedness, honesty and a lot of hard work will be re Quired to give the people the relief they want. Th republican press Is In a position to perform an Invaluable service to the people of Nebraska by entering now upon a campaign of eduoatlon on th ubjct of rate regulation under th commission sys tem, Aurora Republican: The republicans are charged with stealing the populist prin ciples. Politics are evolutionary. The re publicans found themselves at the place where they could consistently advocate some of the very things the old time popu lists contended for. The difference Is that with the pop the reforms proved to be only shams and once In power they for sook their platforms and forgot their party promises In the greed of office holding and favor seeking. The republicans have come to the present reforms gradually and the change of sentiment hss come from within the party and not without. If the populists still hold to the doctrine which they claim the republicans have appropriated they are at liberty to assist us In electing to office this fall some candidates who will put these principles In real practice. Beatrice Sun: The Omaha Bee has be come a great newspaper because It stand for something. By this we mean that there Is an Individuality that Is not possessed by th party organ that endorses without ques tion everything and anything that a con vention presents, regardless of the makeup of that convention.' Thl Is the only true course for a newspaper. The party organ has seen its day. The people want to know who the candidates are and they will de cide whether they are worthy of support or not, without Instructions from party bosse or party newspapers. For thirty years The Bee has been a consistent op ponent cf monopoly. It mattered not whether the candidate waa a republican or wore some other party brand. If he waa not sound upon the one great question he haa not received the support of The Bee. At the present time The Bee stands for th people and against, the corporations. and the candidate for the legislature who receives the support of The Bee will have to show a clear title, or deceive the editor of that paper. The people want to know where every candidate stands at this time. PERSONAL NOTES. Henry Watterson, In welcoming Bryan, said: "May God bless him and give htm wisdom."

' Though I come earn spring-returning to the same Instinctive rapture; It could never be more wonderful a trsns port than today. Let me follow In the furrow that my heart may so recapture.

When my boyiat dreaming thought the the world onoe golden daffodilly Blown for no one out myself to pluck, and no on els to aee. Not the breath pt any fragrance can b ' sweeter to my fancy Than the smell oY earth' the plowshare turna against the sun of May. Let me follow in the furrow wnu I feel the necromancy Of dreams that chased th awatlow's tlight and lost It far away. Let me feel the early passions and th primal Inntincts thrilling Every deadened Inspiration of th plow share and the sod, . . Till ths wsrm, moist earth with ecstasy my puirr soul Is flllins. th plowman path I trod. Her th corn shall lift its areetiness wUl th raln-wasnea winas diow over. Till it bfsrs the wealth of summer where th dark stalks droop and sway. Let me follow In the furrvw, every sens an Idle rover, , With dreams that chased the swallow s flight and lost it far away. 1m Bm,.r. trm PlinplM M Slnfuta, trtm.
