KXPLODIXQ ASOTREB BOMB.
Innocent bystanders are hereby
warned to watch out for the explosion
of another dynamite bomb as a result
of the harmless looking resolution
adopted by the police board last week,
calling upon a sanitary officer to ap
pear before it In person and explain
under oath why certain nuisances, said
to have been maintained by the owner
of a large number of questionable
resorts, were not abated. This officer,
after he has been duly sworn and ad-
i monished as to the sacred character
of his oath, will declare that he was
told by Chief of Police Donahue to
cease filing complaints against this
particular person, and that still an
other officer, who was removed from
the burnt district beat, ascribes his
transfer to too pernicious Interference
with the interests entrenched there.
This startling disclosure, with the
Inference that some valuable considera
tion must have passed to cause such
apparent favoritism by the chief of
police. Is the sum and substance of a
fine-tooth cdrnliing of the burnt dis
trict, which has been carried on for
some months past, in the hopes of
finding something to Justify a new
onslaught on the head of the police
force. After open Invitation to every
disciplined policeman to throw the
blame for his own shortcomings on his
superior officer, this terrible charge is
to be suddenly sprung as a sensational
surprise.
We take it that the enemies of Chief
of Police Donahue will have to produce
something substantial before they can
undermine his reputation and standing
as a police officer. Chief Donahue has
run the gauntlet of a series of such
attacks and always come out un
scathed. When Governor Savage ap
pointed a new police board one of Its
first obligations was to remove the
chief as soon as sufficient cause should
appear. Circumstantial stories were
circulated about a colossal graft with
money collected for police protection
being divided between particular per
sons, even mentioned by name. To
verify this malicious gossip detectives
were hired and prostitutes Imported to
find out Just how the protection money
was paid and where it went. But not
withstanding the hostility of this
board, freely promising Immunity to
Informers, not a thing could be dis
covered Indicating the payment of a
dollar of corruption money,
A few years later Chief of Police
Donahue was made the buffer in the
war waged by the Civic Federation
against Mayor Moores. Charges were
preferred against him and heard and
be was quickly acquitted. All that was
proved was that he had faithfully and
efficiently executed the orders given
him and at the worst was simply in a
quandary as to whose authority he
owed obedience the mayor or the
police board.
Notwithstanding an almost complete
reversal of policy, the new police board
appointed by Governor Sheldon has
likewise found Chief Donahue ready to
carry out its orders as far as he can
with an inadequate number of police
men. When the board ordered him
to remove the assignation houses he
did so promptly without discrimination.
When the board ordered him to stop
the sale of liquor in unlicensed resorts
he did so at once, and when the board
told him that this order was not to be
strictly enforced, he acquiesced. Yet
the people who were after him before
are evidently not satisfied and are still
after him.
Another bomb Is set to explode, but
in all probability, instead of a detona
tion it will only emit a sizzle.
RKVOLVTlOtS JT BJBOiiy PRICES.
In response to a semi-official request
for his opinion1 as to when it will be
safe for the United States to withdraw
the second army of occupation and
turn the Cuban government over to
the natives, Governor Magoon has fur
nished a letter written to him by a
prominent Cuban planter, which makes
It rather plain that the United States
is booked for a long siege In Cuba.
The .planter in question, who Is ad
mitted to be one of the most prominent
men in the island, made this formal
assertion to those In charge of the
American government at Havana:
For f.ViO I can raise a disturbance that
will causa aome talk in the United States.
For $3,000 I can organise a revolution, and
you fellows might as well understand now
as any other time that whenever you pur
pose to leave ua to the tender mercies of
those Spanish-American bandits a mysteri
ous revolution will break out somewhere
In the island, which will necessitate your
immediate Intervention.
This letter throws a striking light
on the Cuban situation and the Cuban
character. Heretofore we have been
accustomed to look upon, a Cuban rev
olution as an exhibition of reallf mis
guided, patriotism. The planter
quoted makes it plain that a Cuban
revolution is a simple business propo
osltion. The business men of the
island have discovered that It is
cheaper to start a fake insurrection in
the interest of stable business condi
tions than it is to bribe the native sol
diery and police and the civil officials
in order to gain partial Immunity from
the raiders that thrive under the local
regime. The business Interests prefer
American control, under which they
are reasonably safe from guerillas and
rapacious adventurers.
The disconcerting feature is that a
cloud'of doubt and suspicion will at
tend reports of future Insurrections
and rebellions on the island. It will
be difficult to determine whether the
haughty dons who are threshing the
chaparral and demanding the blood of
the hated Gringo are inspired by pa
triotism or the planters' pelf. An ex
pert may be required to decide by close
observation whether the revolution is
one of tiie toy kind, bought for $600
or a real 15,000 investment designed
to produce another consignment of
troops from American garrisons. So
long, however, as the prenent condi
tions prevail, under which a planter
may order a revolution as he would
telephone to the market for fish, the
talk of rational self-government by the
Cubans is wasted breath. The pseudo
revolution is not a commendable
method of securing the retention of
American occupation of the Island, but
perhaps the planters are not to be
blamed for adopting it as the most
available and effective method of self
protection at hand. ,
THE SOLIDARITY OF BUSINESS.
Events of the last week In financial
circles furnish new and striking illus
tration of the solidarity of business.
The industrial organization of the
country Is not local and Isolated, but
world-wide and Interdependent. Noth
ing can happen to produce severe dis
aster at one point without reactiug
more or less Injuriously at all points.
The sick man In business In New York
cannot be forced to take an emetio
without shaking every part of the in
dustrial body from Maine to California
and from the Gulf of 'Mexico to the
Canadian border, and more than that,
in these days of world commerce and
rapid world communication, without
reaching to the remotest corners of
the civilized globe.
This lesson of the present financial
stringency must come home strongest
to the people of the west We' have
been flattering ourselves that we were
wholly divorced from Wall street and
had been boasting of our complete in
dustrial independence. We have been
pointing to the flow of money from the
west to the east instead of from east
to west, as if the change of the balance
from one side of the ledger to the
other freed ua altogether from depend
ence upon the prosperity of other sec
tions of the country. But it Is plain
that the question of east or west, or
north or south, In business Is one of
comparative degree only and that the
whole country Is one and inseparable,
and that all must go up or down to
gether. There are no state lines In business,
no sharp demarcation by rivers or
mountain ranges, nor even by oceans.
Speculative bubbles bursting in New
York shower the Mississippi valley and
the Pacific coast. In business and In
dustry everything is national or inter
national and remedies for business
evils must be at least nation-wide in
scope.
UOW TO VOTE THE QUESTIONS.
Nine separate and distinct questions
will be propounded to voters in this
city and county at the coming election,
to which they should be prepared to
give the proper answer.
Question 1, which is to be voted on
In Omaha and South Omaha, asks for
an expression on consolidation. Every
voter who believes in growth, progress
and prosperity should record himself
"Yes."
Question 2 asks authority for the
county board to spend $25,000 out of
the general fund for a site and con
struction of a detention home. The
detention home is now costing the tax
payers more than $10,000 a year and
this request for an additional $25,000
appears extravagant and should be
negatived.
Question 3 asks authority for the
county board to spend $5,000 from the
general fund for a ward or building
at the county hospital to take tare of
patients afflicted with tuberculosis. At
present the hospital is not equipped
to give treatment for tuberculosis,
which modern medical science de
mands. This authority . should be
voted.
Question 4 involves the Issue of
$50,000 of bonds by the city of Omaha
to pay for paving street intersections.
The street Intersections constitute
about one-fourth of the entire area to
be payed, so that by voting these bonds
$200,000 worth of new pavements can
be laid next year. Vote "Yes" on
paving bonds.
Question 5 asks authority for the
city of Omaha to Issue $49,000 for
sewer bonds. These bonds are needed
to continue the extension of our sewer
system, which is demanded by the
growth of the city. The sewer bonds
should be authorized.
Question 6 is to provide for $30,000
bonds to build two new Are, engine
houses. Improvement of the fire serv
ice is always in order. The objection
Is urged that the city is not in position
to man the new equipment required for
these fire engine houses, but that ob
jection would be overcome by the time
the new buildings are ready for occu
pancy. Question 7 seeks authority for $50.
000 of bonds to purchase new parks
and improve existing parks and boule
vards. The Park board has bad $61,
000 for this purpose this year and will
have $75,000 next year from its regu
lar sources of revenue, and does not
need this additional $50,000. Vote
"No" on park bonds.
Question 8 wants authority to Issue
$3,500,000 of bonds to buy the gas
works. The city has no legal right to
force a purchase of the gas works, and
no one has given auy good reason why
these bonds should be Issued. Vote
"No" on gas bonds.
Question 9 asks authority for the
school district of Omaha to issue
$500,000 in bonds for new school sites
and buildings. While this proposition
ought to have been more specific, the
school board gives assurance that the
money will be used to relieve actual
necessities for additional school accom
modations and will be held to that
assurance. Vote "Yes" on school
bonds. .
All these questions, with the excep
tion of the last, will be found at the
top of the voting machine, and to vote
on them the Index must be placed to
point "Yes" or "No" on each one sepa
rately. The school bond proposition
is at the head of the school board bal
lot. Do not neglect to vote on all
these questions.
WHAT POSTAL BAXKS WOULD DO.
Accepting as accurate the estimates
made by former Postmaster General
John Wanamaker and Postmaster Gen
eral Meyer as to the amount of money
that would be made available for cir
culation by a postal savings bank sys
tem, there should be little delay by
congress In adopting the recommenda
tions that will be made by the post
master general to the coming session.
At a banquet tendered Postmaster
General Meyer at Philadelphia the
other night Mr. Wanamaker, one of
the greatest merchants in the country,
made this striking statement:
My Investigations have convinced me that
there is now hidden under carpets and
hoarded In 10-cent pieces and other cur
rency mora thnn $l,000,()00,00i. With a sys
tem of postal savings banks, and with the
distribution of the money received by them
into the national banks in their districts,
this huge sum would be placed at once In
general circulation and would be saved for
Its possessor as well as being used for gen
eral prosperity.
Postmaster General Meyer, in the
course of his address, quoted statistics
to show that In the last fiscal year our
Immigrants sent $71,000,000 of their
savings hack to Europe, much of It to
be placed In the postal savings banks
of their native countries. He declared
that the savings of the laboring classes
were not deposited with banks for
various reasons, but expressed his con
viction that the adoption of the postal
savings bank system would draw from
the laboring classes more than $1,000,
000,000 that is now either hoarded or
kept In deposit vaults to the detriment
of general business. In order to avoid
the charge of Interfering with the
banking business, General Meyer offers
this plan:
I shall advocate a rate of Interest of 3
per cent per annum, or 1 per cent semi
annually, and a limit of $500, not more than
10 to be deposited In any one year. My '
own belief Is that far from its being a det
riment to the established banks, It would
be In the end an advantage, because, hav
ing encouraged Iho habit of economy and
thrift, the depositors after accumulating
a surplus will seek for better returns than
it is possible for the government to give.
Hence, In order to get this money back
Into the channels of trade, I propose to
ask congress for authority to place the
savings in the national banks, which are
government depositories In the district
where the money Is first deposited. I have
taken the precaution to consult a number
of bank presidents In different districts
and they have assured me that on special
deposits of this sort from the PostofDce de
partment they will allow from 2 to 2hi per
cent.
Such, an arrangement with the
banks would assure the government
against loss, and it might result in a
profit, from the operation of the postal
savings banks, with the added advan
tage of getting an immense volume of
money into circulation. In his report
to be made to congress General Meyer
goes Into the.'Bubject in detail, making
special effort to answer all the objec
tions offered In the past against the
postal savings system.
In 1871 Postmaster General CreB
well of President Grant's cabinet ad
vised the establishment of a postal
savings system, but congress was not
in a mood to consider the question.
Mr. Wanamaker fought for It when he
was postmaster general and Postmas
ter General Gary of President McKin
ley's cabinet likewise urged it upon
congress without success. The de
mand for postal banks has been grow
ing more insistent, however, and Gen
eral Meyer's recommendation will
surely receive more considerate atten
tion from congress than did those of
bis predecessors.
BUMBLE BTES FOR THE PHILIPPISES.
Census figures are a little lame on
data relating to the number of Amer
icans who spent their youth on the
farm, but the suspicion prevails that
every mother's son of them will re
joice in the formal announcement that
the federal government Is going to In
troduce the American bumble bee into
the Philippines. Official explanation
of the transaction is found In the al
leged fact that red clover does not
flourish in any section where the bum
ble bee Is not a factor. Those bulging
browed scientists of the Department of
Agriculture have figured It out that
the bumble bee carries the pollen from
one flower to another to vitalize the
seed. Red clover does not flourish in
the Philippines. Bumble bees are un
known in the Philippines. Ergo, lu
order to make red clover flourish the
pollen-carrying bumble bees must be
Introduced. v
Dr. Howard, chief of the bureau of
entomology of the Department of Agri
culture, has captured some 500 of the
Ohio variety of the bumble bee and
a similar number of the Kansas va
riety to be sent to Manila by special
messenger. They have been packed in
ice, to make them think that the win
ter season is on and will be placed
next to the refrigerator on the transport-
to carry out the delusion until
they arrive In the Philippines, when
they will be turned loose to show the
red clover crop how to grow up with
the country. It Is predicted that in
five years the bumble bee will have
summer and winter quarters In the
Philippines, covering every province
from Luzon to Eamar. Then all the
scientists will have to do is to sit back
and make notes on the results.
Every American who waa raised oa a
farm can predict results. It may be
just as well right now to serve notice on
PouKney Bigelow, Irving Wlnslow and
other antl-lmperlallsts that there Is
deeper significance back of the scheme
than can be found in the petals of a
red clover blossom. It agricultural
Industry Is lagging In the Philippines,
It will not linger after the bumble bees
get firmly established and acclimated.
Th nut-brown sons of dattos, rajahs
and rlgamajlggers who now spend
their time fomenting trouble for the

full when the early spring plowing is
started. Tbey will have to follow In
the wake of their daddies who drive
the patient caribou in breaking the
stubborn glebe and use the shingle in
keeping the Industrious and non-discriminating
bumble bee away from the
plowman and In stealing the supply
of red clover honey it has stored up
against the rainy season, which Is the
Philippine substitute for winter. An
Industrious and enraged bumble bee
is no respecter of persons and he has
the capacity and ability to make the
lazy Filipino take two Jumps where
he took one before. That must be the j
secret reason for the Introduction of
the bumble bee Into the Philippines.

Ood'a love and peace be with thee where
Boe'er this soft Autumnal air.
Lifts the dark, tresses of thy- hair!

Beauty to beauty, grace to grace!
Fair Nature's book together read,
The old wood-paths that knew our tread,
The maple shadows overhead
The hills we climbed, the river seen
By gleams along its deep ravine

The thought goes with me on my way.
And hence the prayer I, breathe today;
O'er lapse of time and change of scene,
The weary waste which lies between
Thyself and me, my heart I laan.
Thou lack'st not Friendship's spell-word,

The half-unconscious power to draw
All hearts to thine by Love's sweet law.
With these good gifts of God Is cast
Thy lot, and many a charm thou hast
To hold the blessed angels fast.
The gracious heavens will heed from me,'

What should, dear heart, Its burden beT
The sighing of a shaken reed
What tan I more than meeklv plead
The greatness of our cammon need?
