Rebuilding; the Cabinet.
When American have a little time
to spare they often turn their atten
tion to plans for rebuilding the cabi
net, and Just now the varied interests
of the country are reviving such a
project. The Initial cabinet was sim
plicity Itself, consisting of the secre
taries of state, war and treasury, to
gether with the attorney general. A
multiplicity of btslness has since de
veloped the departments that have
been added from time to time.
One of the most Insistent demands
of the day is for a department of In
sular affairs. The far-off islands now
In the possession of the United States
present peculiar problems that will
demand the expert attention of a spe
cial branch of the federal government.
No one of the United States' activities
stands so distinctively alone as does
the control and direction of the Philip
pines, the solving of whose future It
Is urged should be in hands unfettered
by other work.
When additions to the cabinet are
proposed the objection is commonly
made that already the cabinet Is so
large as to be unwieldy; that as a mat
ter of practice the real presidential ad
visers are usually three or four of the
members, the remainder holding only
honorary places. By the time the
country Is ready for a department of
insular affairs, however, it will doubt
less be ready also to drop the fast
vanishing Department of -the Interior,
which as a dumping ground for the
miscellaneous overflow from other de
partments has nearly outlived Its use
fulness. The Department of the In
terlor originally was planned to care
for Indian affairs and public lands, and
lis functions In these dirottlons are
fast waning. All of Its bureaus could
be redistributed without Impairing
their efficiency.
Yet there are advocates for the cre
ation of another new department, that
of mines and mining, out of the bu
reau of geological surveys, now in
charge of the Department of the In
terlor. The question arises whether so
clearly defined a separation of com
mercial interests Is necessary or ad
visable. If the' Department of Com
merce and Labor cannot assume charge
of such interests as those of mines and
mining, and if the Department of Agri
culture cannot absorb such duties as
pertain to land affairs and the reclama
tion service, then it might be worth
While to consider the establishment of
a department of natural resources,
under whose guidance the newly awak
ened conservation policy might be
worked out to its fulfillment. Indeed,
since farm creation, crop production
and forestry are akin to the conserva
tion Idea, such a department as that
of natural resources might be evolved
from the present Department of Agri
culture. The changes indicated would
leave the numerical membership of the
cabinet the same, but would readjust
public interests all along the line to
meet the demands of the times.
Breaking a Continent'! Backbone.
Forbidding barriers to trade in
South America have loomed the
Cordillera of the Andes, the conquer
ing of which has long been the dream
of those whose commercial instinct in
spired their energies into channels
likely to have more direct and prac
tlcal results than the discovery of the
poles. Persistently keeping at It has
won, as usual, and as a New Year's
present to the South American conti
nent the engineers assure the public
that on January 1 through railroad
service will be opened from ocean to
ocean.
"Try not the pass," the old men
cried to the adventurous mountain
scalers, but the spirit of Excelsior was
in the breasts of the engineers; they
tried the pass, and when no pass would
yield they forthwith made one. The
new railroad, fighting its way up the
ranges to a height of 10,000 feet, tun
nels through the very heart of snow
capped peaks and establishes the long-looked-for
transcontinental line.
Thus South America, until now sun
dered by its natural barrier, becomes
at last one integral continent. Ocean
to ocean at the point of tunneling will
be only one day apart, and the vast
area to the east will be readily ac
cessible from the west. This is a gain
of nine days over the route of the
fastest steamships from Buenos Ayres
to Valparaiso. Routes of commerce
will be revolutionized.
A Frank Confession.
In explanation of his positive decli
nation to enter Into a Joint debate on
the tariff with Senator Bailey of Texas
Mr. Bryan makes a very frank confes
sion, which Illustrates current demo
cratic tactics. He gives as one of his
reasons for refusing to debate the fal
lowing: I might add th further reason that a
debate between two democrat would ac
centuate th tariff differences that have
embarrassed our party In congress and
give th republican newspaper a chance
to dwell upon democratic dimensions In
stead of devoting their time to th contest
now being waged between th progressive
republican and the standpatter. A de
bat might be pleasing to the participant
and entertaining to th audience, but I
think that th subject which I am en
deavoring to present 1 worthy of calm and
serious consideration.
In other words, while the breach
between the different elements of the
democratic party is as wide, if not
wider, than that between the different
elements of the republican party, it is
Mr. Bryan's aim to gloss over and sup
press the democratic dissension and
to incite and encourage dissension In
the republican ranks. In his view a
debate on the tariff between two demo
crats would be most unseemly, but a
debate on the tariff between two re
publicans would be just the thing.
Democratic newspapers and orators
must not accentuate the tariff dlffer-
ences that are embarrassing their own
party, but they must goad on repub
lican newspapers, and republican ora
tors. Into acrimonious discussion of re
publican differences.
It Is a poor rule that does not work
both ways. Why should democratic
newspapers be clamoring for a tariff
debate between republicans and, at the
same time, be Justifying Mr. Bryan's
evasion of the invitation to debate the
tariff with Senator BaileyT The dem
ocrats cannot cover up their own party
demoralization by trying to yield the
forum to republican disputants.
Canada Gaining Americani.
Our northern neighbor, Canada, has
been specifically alluring immigration
from the United States bo long that she
is now able to report on the result of
her endeavor, and does It exultantly.
From .the records for the last fiscal
year at Ottawa comes the statement
that the emigration from the United
States to Canada was the largest on
record, and even exceeded the number
of arrivals from Great Britain. Most
of these newcomers, comments the
government statistician, were experl
enced agriculturists with capital. The
returns show 60,000 Americans set
tling In Canada within the year, each
possessed on an average of $1,000 in
cash, stock or effects.
This exhibit of an influx of $60,000,
000 in property, backed by aggressive
personality, Is creditable to the sys
tematic work of the immigration de
partment, which has bid for ambitious
people. Any American traveling 'on
Canadian railroads cannot but be Im
pressed with the thoroughness of the
Canadian immigration officials in can
vasslng the passengers for prospective
settlers. All information concerning
newcomers is recorded and the records
are followed up with efforts to culti
vate the settlers into citizenship.

The published list of delinquent cor
porations that have failed to come
across on Nebraska's new corporation
tax is the index for a lot of Interest
lng history. In the list, for example,
is the Omaha Republican Publishing
company, which for years Issued the
old Omaha Republican until it foun
dered on the rocks in 1890. Another
name in the lla is that of the Trans
mlsslsslppl and International exposl
tlon, which tcok up Its work and tri
umphantly completed it, although,
perhaps, it wai never formally wound
up and divested of its corporate exist
ence. Other names suggest high
hopes of enthusiastic inventors, great
expectations of get-rich-qulck enter
crises and sad memories of dismal
failures that deserved a better fate.
The comment by Edison, reviewing
the marvels of electric display at vthe
Hudson-Fulton celebration in New
York, on the startling possibilities of
the future, is inspiring. The great in
ventor says that 40,000 alert minds
are seeking the secret of electricity
and how to conserve the 97 per cent
that now goes to waste. While the
heedless world involves Itself in the
perplexities of vast armaments, debts
and costly celebrations of past per
formances, great investigators like
Edison are quietly at work seeking
light for the future which shall solve
problems that but for these men of
science would overwhelm humanity.
State Treasurer Brian has reduced
his reported cash on hand very ma
terially, but $178,000 outside of the
amounts placed in state depositories is
altogether too much. The state de
pository law contemplates the keeping
of all the state's current and unin
vested funds in approved and properly
secured depositories, and with all of
Nebraska's numerous banks there
should be no difficulty in having
enough of them qualify as depositories
to take care of every cent of the stale's
money all the time.
Where are the democratic newspapers
that fought uffer the banner of Cleveland?
World-Herald.
Some of them have cut loose and
are standing firm by the principles
which Cleveland represented, while
others, like the World-Herald, sold out
to the silver bulllonalres. And still
others, who followed Bryan out of
party loyalty, are trying to rescue the
party and put It back on the track
where It would have been had Cleve
land remained In command.
Germany, a past master In forestry,

Event ar tending sharply toward a
general election in Great Britain. Pre
mier Asqulth's reply to Lord Rosebery'e
attack on the budget, breathing confidence
In th ultimate passage of th measure by
the House of Lords, has not checked
preparation for th Impending "appeal to
th country." The budget I scheduled to
pas the House of Common October 21.
What the peers will do to the bill I fore
casted by the preparations for c fierce
campaign. The form of the rejection, not
the substance, seems to be In doubt.
Observer on the spot question whether the
peer posse the courage to reject th bud
get outright, and Indicate the more likely
policy of hanging It up pending the ap
peal. Th foreshadowed action of the
peer may be credited to the dominant In
fluence of Joseph Chamberlain. Until th
famous Imperialist, old, paralytlo and
stammering of speech. Bounded a rallying
note for tariff reform, the British name
for protection, the tory peer were barren
of a Substitute for the revenue raising
feature of the Lloyd-Gorg bill. Ad
mittedly mor revenue 1 needed to carry
on national policies. Th manner nf
raising It Is the province of the commons.
To reject such a measure for the reason
that It exacted increased toll from th
landlord and the wealthy In general would
hav endangered th House of Lord by
exposing the selfish motive of th mem
bers. Beside the tory majority devised no
alternative. In fact th torle In th House
of Common, lead by Balfour, long ago
gave up th fight and confined their ef
fort to amendment. Chamberlain's
eleventh hour rallying cry from hi sick
room hks stiffened th tory backbone and
nerved the wavering for the fight Even
the straddling Balfour leaps from the fence
he has oooupled line Chamberlain' first
tariff declaration thirteen year ago. In
th coming contest, therefor, the tori
will challenge the country to forsake th
time-honored policy of free trade and sub
stitute customs duties for th revenue
measure of Lloyd-George. On the liberal
id the rallying cry will be free trad and
taxation of th rich. It will b a strug

It I difficult for Americana, to consider
seriously th prevalent fear of German In
vasion manifested by Englishmen. It ha
been laughed at and scoffed, but it Uvea
on and waxes healthy on th Jeers of un
feeling. The reason for It, generally
peaking, I to be found in th growth
of Germany in population and material
wealth, and th development of the nation
a a naval power. Germany's activity a
a sea power, coupled with It dominance
a a military power, I considered a men
ace to the world' peace. Admiral Berea
ford at New York and Lord Northcllff,
managing owner of the London Tim, at
Chicago, expressed the prevalent'. British
fear of Germany. Th London editor con
alder all Germany' preparation ar di
rected against England. More elaborate
and definite on this Una la th review
of the relation of the two countries In
McClure's Magaxine by H. B. Chamberlain,
London corespondent of the New York Sun.
A formidable array of Incident, assertions,
opinion and historic parallels are clearly
dovetailed with the actlvitle of Germany'
navy yard to support th assumption that
the kaiser ha base designs on hi uncle'
dominion. Most Interesting of Mr. Cham
berlain' advance picture of the war cloud
I the suggestion, now permanently heard,
that the United Bute can preserve the
peace of th world by calling a halt on
Germany. Th remedy, In the writer' opin
ion, I to say to Germany, In the language
of diplomacy, "We shall regard any further
Increase In armament on your part as an
unfriendly act." King Edward should not
be asked to send these word to hi pug

Austria, which In isoe underwent terrible
humiliation at the hand of Napoleon, la no

defeated. It irregular patriots, the Tyro
lese under Andreas Hofer, won uch vic

wa only diplomacy that ruined them. The
Tyrolese, who had In 1H6 been made Ba
varians against their will, endeavored, on
the renewal of the war between Franca
and Austria four years later, to rejoin
tneir country to Austria. Even after Aus
tria had been compelled to yield they kept
on fighting. Under the leadership of Hufer
ana nis asoeiattH. who had had no other
experience In war than what fell to their
