The United States and Mediation.
Casting a horoscope on the coming of peace,
former Congressman Victor Murdock declares
through his newspaper that "when peace does
come, it is almost inevitable that Europe will,
in the hour for arbitration of differences, turn
to President Wilson, but with a condition that
Bryan be excluded from participation in the
negotiations." Mr. Murdock laments a situation
threatening to bar Mr. Bryan from peace activ
ities, but he also opens the question whether
the United States will have an opportunity to
Interpose mediation services.
It will be recalled that at the outset of hostil
ities. President Wilson coupled the declaration
of neutrality with an offer of good offices when
ever the time might be propitious, but that this
offer fell upon deaf ears. Had it been possible
to adjust the differences of the combatants at
that time. It was the universal opinion that tbey
would naturally look to the United States ae the
disinterested friend best able to serve as um
pire. But many things have since happened to
train the relations of our country with, the
belligerents on both sides, and, if we are frank,
we must confess that they no longer accept the
unselfish friendship of the United States with
the same unquestioning faith that they did
eight months ago. At any rate, it is much lees
likely bow i than it was then that the United
State should be invited to mediate or arbitrate
disputed points In peace negotiations, and this
without reference to the Inclusion or exclusion
of Mr. Bryan. The situation, of 'course, may
ehange, as we hope It will, before the time for
action arrives, but nothing is to be gained by
shutting our eye to the unpleasant fact, that
for the present the United States is not In the
commanding position distinguishing it as the
natural peaievmaker.
Reawakened Wall Street.
Seven months of suspended animation seems
to have been enough for Wall street, and the
frightened brokers are beginning to emerge from
the holes Into which they ran on July 30, last,
when Germany's action made certain the war
that has followed. Bull and bear have resumed
their game of betting on whether prices will go
up or down, and matter fn the ''street" are. nor
mal, apparently. The one refreshing feature of
the situation Is that the bulls have th better of
the game at the beginning, and that prices on
all stocks are advancing. '
This may mean a great deal for the general
revival of business, for It will probably give en
couragement to capitalists who have been hold
ing back. If It will coax idle money out into
avenues of employment and thus aid in the re
vival of commerce and Industry, it will be the
greatest service Wall street ever performed. Tha
steady advance In the price of stocks indicate
faith in the future by the investors, at any rate.
But there Is nothing to stop the local electric
lighting company from' coming down without
delay on Us charges for electric current fur
nished to private consumers. .
The pressing claims of the United States
against warring governments are not the least
of Juicy bills which will underscore the hlga
c6st of living la Europe by and by.
It is to be keped all threatened labor trou
bles will go around Omaha this year. The build
ing protpect is too good to take any chances on
spoiling it, or oven delaying operations.
Pralne of Preniiieut Wil.on is the headlined
keynote of the address delivered to the Nebraska
. legislature by our democratic United States sen
aior. But will the president reciprocate with
praise of the senator ? We shall see what wo
shall see.
Home Gardens.
Nine-tenths of the vegetables placed on our
tables are brought In from a distance, from one
to five days old Oae-fourth to one-third of the
total consumption of garden products might be
raised on the idle lots and available backyards
of homes within the boundsrles of the greater
city. ...
Amateur gardening does not require skill to
start with. klll comes from experience. The
mala essential is Industry. The labor la a
recreation especially needful for Indoor wage
earners. An hour or more a day, mornings or
evenings, in garden activities yields Immediate
benefits In healthful exercise and refreshing
sleep, and the later reward of vegetables bear
ing the personal label fresh from the soil.
The chief obstacle to more general use of
idle lots Is not want of ownership, as many be
lieve. It is lack of Initiative combined with
the indolence which considers work outside thi
shop a drudgery. Mnch encouraging progress
has been made under the stimulus of gardening
publicity, and at least two cities afford shining
examples. .Well-to-do clUxeas of Montcltir, N.
J., are promoting the movement, and have se
cured several hundred plots of ground which
are sublet without coat to amateur gardeners.
Jn Portland, Ore., gardening has reached the
dignity of a clvle duty. "A city dwelling with
out a kitchen garden," says the Portland Ore
gonlan, "may mean nothing worse than Indo
lence, but even that Is deplorable. He who
makes two cabbages grow where before there
was none is a benefactor to himself and his
kind."
So long ss the detached home remains a dis
tinct characterlDtle of Omaha life, the backyard
challenges cultivation- Even as a decorative
scheme' vegetable beds are unsurpassed. Cer
tainly no surer mean are as easily within reach
of home providers to hold down the high cost
of litlcg.
German Rote on the Blockade.
Germany'! note, admitting responsibility for
the destruction of the Frye and Its cargo, is fol
lowed by another, accusing the United States of
failure to press with proper vigor the protest
against the ocean-wide blockade established by
the allies, fhe note makes what amount to a
flat. charge that the United States is not at thla
time playing fair In the diplomatic dealings con
cerning the "passage ct ocean traffic. Openly
Germany says this government ii permitting the
shipment of arms and munition In vast quanti
ties to the allies, while It Is not pressing with
the same energy to secure shipment of foodstuff
to Germany.'
This brings the matter down squarely to a
question of fact- The latest exchange of notes
between the United States, and England and
France on the subject of interference with neu
tral shipping was on the part of our government
a plain statement of a position not in harmony
with the position assumed by the allies, anl
could hardly have been made more explicit. The
general position of this government . has boen
clearly set forth In correspondence with the sev
eral belligerents, and In the latest note identical
to Great Britain and France, specific complaint
waa made covering traffic with neutral Scandi
navian' and Dutch ports, through which it lis pos
sible jto reach Germany. It has been rumored
that the allies have tentatively agreed to a mod
ification of the order in council, promulgated by
Great Britain and acquiesced In by France, re
laxing some of It provisions. Until this mod
ification Is published the case will stand much
as It Is, the United State resting on Its protest.
This information may not have yet reached the
German chancellery.
It 1 interesting to note that the ancient
treaty with Prussia, revived In the Fry case,
practically squares with the practice adopted by
the allies, and (hat the principle under which
the Frye was sunk Is the one under which Great
Britain now assumea to dispose of cargoes inter
cepted at sea, when suspected of being contra
band r destined for enemy uses. The British
control of the sea has been a most stubborn fac
tor In the war game, and Its advantage is ap
parent to all.
The German note is Indicative of a purpose
to push every possible Issue to the greatest ad
vantage. Up to the .present time the position
of the United States as regards neutrality Is unassailable-
New York's Constitutional Convention.
The constitutional convention which has just
began it deliberations to revise the funda
mental law of New York state. Is a notable body
of men charged with the specially Important
work. The convention is to be presided over
by former Senator Ellhu Root, and count In Its
membership many of the ablest students of pub
lic affairs in the great Empire state.
New York ha been regarded as the province
of conservatism. It would be surprising to see
it embrace the various device of ultra-progresa-ItsUm
such as the initiative and referendum, re
call of Judicial decisions, and proportional rep
resentation, although they wlU doubtless all be
urged for consideration. The expectation is.
however, that the mala effort will be directed
to perfecting the machinery of government, and,
above all. centering responsibility with a view
to greater economy, efficiency and accountabil
ity. The opinion prevail In New York that the
constitution-makers will take their time for the
task, preferring to do a thorough Job than a
quick Job. but their conclusions should la that
event commend themaelvee all the more.
In it new constitution. New York will surely
set all other states an Influential example

TUB most remarkable feature of the Appomattox
fiftieth year Celebration, was the large number
of veterans present who had fought under Grant
in one or mora of hU sreat strategic campaign. When
Judge Flawcett naked those to stand up In suceaalon
who had been with Grant at fhlloh, at Vlckeburg, or
In the battle of the Army of the Potomae leading up
to the final surrender, approximately a score roe
each Urn. These men were testifying to a personal
acquaintance and association with the greatest mili
tary genius of the nineteenth century, a flg-ure whom
moat of us who have come after the close of the
war know only from reading history, or from, a
poaeibla (limps during- his later years. I have an In
distinct recollection of seeing General Grant Juat ones
when he was entertained In Omaha on his return
from his trip around the world. True, I waa a mere
boy, but I reoaJl how the town tma gaily decorated
with flags and bunting, and remember the proceaaton
passing along Farnam atraet with the hero of Ap
pomattox pointed out as he rod past. The window
where I waa watching waa in the eld Be office, lo
cated then between Ninth and Tenth, and I have a
photograph somewhere ef the building with Its deco
ration for that occasion, th central piece being a
more than llfe-als elU painting of General Grant,
which had been don by a local artist on a special
rush order, string Mm but a few hours to execute
th work. General Grant, hlmaelf, observed the pl
ture, end remarked to my father upon Its exceptional
likeness. That picture Is hanging now In my office,
and I resret only that t did net think to offer Its us
to th committee In charge of th semi-centennial
peace program. I do not recall ever seeing Orant
aftr that visit to Omaha, but I have been entertained
by his eon, General Fred Grant, while be was minis
ter to Austria, where I also mat his grandson, Ulysses
A. Grant, second, who later became an army officer,
and I had the prtvlteg of entertaining another son
of the president, ITlysae B. Grant. Jr., when b was
here from California a few years a so for som litiga
tion growing eut pf the Independent telephone promotion-
. . .
But General Grant bed been to Omaha before he
had becom president Reference to this visit is
found In the IHtle book of personal recollections. Issued
last year by General O. M. Dodge, who had been ona
of General Grant's corps commanders. As narrated
by General Dodg, toon after his nomination for the
presidency on th republican ticket, his friend and
former subordinate, Oeneral Frank P. Blair, was nomi
nated for vto president on th democratic ticket,
being- at that time a United State commissioner, ac
cepting each twenty, miles of th road as built, with
headuarters at Port Bandera, wyo., and n proceeds:
'iGteneral Grant cam to Omaha to go over the
road wtrh me. and General Blair, happening to arrive
In Omaha at the earn time, I took them both in my
car to th end of th Union Pactfla railway." When
they met they wer as cordial .and chatty as though
they were political friends. Blair's contention was
that If Orant was elected president It was one step
toward placing the country under a monarchy, for
he believed, will the faith the people had In him, his
party would take th benefit and make htm a perma
nent president. But on knowing Grant a I did,
knew ha waa the last person to think of audi a result,
much less be a party to it. ; Th population along the
Una of the Union Pacific, .and the working parties
wers many ef them rebels who had gone Into, tho
plain rather than go Into th confederate army or be
sent through our line Into the confederate lines.
Naturally, this population waa for th .democratic
ticket. Th presence of Grant and Blair on' the Jlne
became knwn, and at every stopping plao the people
congregated, and were all anxious to sea Grant, and'
demanded that Blair, who was reputed a fin Speaker,
should talk to them on th political question. ' Grant
urged Blair to comply with their wish, but Blair
responded that the) presence of Grant, for whom he
had the highest admiration personally, mad It Im
possible for hlra t talk to them n politics, and stated
thai he Intended to go down th road again In a
short time, and it would give him pleasure to expound
t them th principle ef his party." ' i
v .- . . .
It must hav been about this time, too. that th
famous party of military notables held their confer
ence with Gneral Dodg at Fort Banders tn reference
to th protection ef the oonstruotlon fore and th
supplies by escorts of troops.. The party was photo
graphed at the beadq-uaUr of General Dodg. th
photograph being reproduced tn th velum with tho
names ef th figures-appearing in It a follows: "Gen
eral August Kauts. General Philip H. Sheridan, Mrs.'
Potter, General Frederick Dent, Mrs. GlblTi, General
