The people of tbe cAuotry at larg. aod of Ntraaka in particular, are botog advlaed that ibla la a preaidontUI year by tbe quickening ec tivltle of ambltloua aApUanta for tbe rrpubllcaa nomination, tbe anoppoel reoom I nation of I'reoldent WUoon on tbe democratic ticket being taken for granted. fly reaeon of our peculiar preaUJentlal pref erence primary wbldi la a freovfor-all go-aa-you-pleaae no-entry-cbarge race, we In Nebraaka, offer an Inritlng field for oar own and other fa vorite aona, earn convinced that be baa tbe popu- ar rail. It may aa well be underatood, however, now aa later, that If tbe republlcana of Nebraaka could make Ibelr wiabea known and effective, tbey would be for Charlea K. Hughe by an over whelming majority. Not that we bave not a neighborly feeling for Cummina or Had ley, not that we do not admire Burton, not that we do not respect tbe ability of Hoot, not that we'do not rberlah a pereonal affection for Eatabrook, not that the other randldatee do not appeal to lie or are without frlenda here but tbe rapidly focualng aentlment In Nebraaka, aa throughout tbe nation, la formulating a demand for Hughes, which la aura to be pretend with Increasing In- slatenre and persistence. Aa already declared, we share the view that (ut'ies more than any other would be the stan dard-bearer to unite all republican elements and lead to certain victory. Further than this, we bolleve a way will be found in due time by which Nebraaka will be lined up for Hughea before we commission our delegates to tbe Chicago Convention. Orain Ratei and tha Omaha Market. The Omaha Uraln Exchange la reopening 1U fight to am ure an equitable adjustment of freight ratea on grain to and from Omaha. A rather aa tonlshlng exhibit has been prepared, showing In explicable discrepancies In rates, and all of them militating agalnat tbo local market. If the rates charged for hauling grain to Omaha are Just, the railroads are performing such aervlce for Kanaaa City for nothing, aa they are apparently hauling thousands of carloads bundreda of tnllee without any charge. If the rate to Kanaaa City 1 Just, then the rate to Omaha la too high. Thli la apparent. Existing condltlona aa to freight tariffs that lavor lival markata hava long been objected to by Omaha dealera, and a thriving grain Industry has been built up here, In spite of the dlacrtml nation. It used to be the "long haul" that aup- ported the argument agalnat our grain market, but thla can not apply In the present caae, for the roada get no more In any laatance, and In many less, for the long haul to Kanaaa City. Thla practice operatea to ahut Omaha out of a large aectlon of Ita natural territory, making polnta In Nebraska tributary to the Missouri city, many mile further away. , Tbe Grain Exchange la repeating the expert once of tho atock yards and packing houaea. Many yeara of constant atruggle were needed to accure adjustment of live atock ratea that mili tated agalnat Omaha, but the long fight waa finally won. The entire community la vitally concerned in tbla matter, and tbe Grain Ex change ahould bave the aupport of united Omaha la Ita fight for elmple Justice. Clearing Away tha Carrama Clouds. The United 8tatea aenate will doubtless hold up tho nomination ot Henry Prather Fletcher, aa ambassador to Carrania'a government, until the president makea satisfactory reply to the re quest for Information aa to what Induced the recognition ot Carraniaa de facto prealdent of Mexico. Thla recognition came In a way that euggeeta something of Intrigue, concerning which Information la aought. Tor many week a before the event, aubtle hlnta and significant wolsper lnga were heard, all pointing to the fact that Trealdeat Wilson favored the Carranxa cause, Thla. too, at a time when the opponenta ot Car ranxa were la position to prevent the "first chief" from In any way making a showing aa the executive head of Mexico. Kftorte at eel action et a provisional government which would elimi nate the contending factlona, or, at any rate, the leadera. were brought to naught through aome mysterious agency, until finally the watchful waiter at the White House declared hie choice) aa having rested on Venuatiano Carranxa, and the Influence ot our government waa thrown la tbe balaaca to decide agalnat the other Mexican "ptrtota.u wha were to have had a free hand la tbe settlement of their own affaire. It la not charted that our prealdent la any way connived at the end that hae been brought about; alne he gav Carraaia hla favor, he haa openly sought to establish hint In authority. What the eoaate would like to know, and the public, too. la Just how tar w are lavohred la Mexlcaa affaire, and to what extent w are to be chargeable tor Carranxa.

W. A. Dorrah, who wrltoo of them In Matalluglral ao4 Chemical Eng1nar1n, boMs out hope that tho now form of lamp wC aoon be on tho market. The plan 4opte4 t ao to 4tn the lamp that tho aupply of motorlaj for the arc will come, not from tho oloctrodoa, but from a surrounding (aa or vapor, and can bo need over an4 over aaaln. To quota an4 ron4raa: "A atu4y of tho Uht-fflrtencr of an arc from a rhamical standpoint abowa that ther la certain rathor limited elan of uhotance which when Intro duced Into the are In small quantities produro very great Increaao In luminosity. Thus the addi tion of small quantities of cerium or calcium com pounds to tho carbon are may Increaao Its efPciency over 900 per cent, and tho addition of titanium (pre ferably aa an old) to tho maanetlte arc similarly prodiwea an increased luminosity without a corre sponding Inereaao In enarrr-conaumptlon. "A study of the foot tod to tho conception that perhaps an arc could ba maintained In a closed ves sel and aupptled with theso Ilrht-prodndng elements In tha vapor-form. "Accordingly, crude apparatus was arranged In which two hard carbon electrodes were placed ver tically above each other In a tight glaaa veaael, aud an are drawn between the electrodes. As might ba expected, thla are waa non-luminous and very un atabla. Accordingly, a small amount of carbon tetrachlorld waa poured Into tho veaael, with a rather marked result. Tho arc then became stablo srd could ha drawn out to several times the length which was , previously poaalble, although Ita lumi nosity waa not much Increaaed. A flaky soot formed by the decomposition of tho oarbon tetrachlorld also filled the glssa chamber. A trial waa next made witn atannle chloiid, with similar Increase both tw atahlllty and allowable are length. In thla caae, alsj the luminosity of the aro waa much greater. Tha stannlo rhlorid, however, waa decomposed by tha air and moisture present, forming a white Insoluh powder upon the walla of the chamber, aoon shutting out most of the light. "A mora elaborate apparatus wss therefore con structed In which tha graphite electrodes were separated by an electro-magnet acting upon an Iron core within a glass chamber. "The air waa exhausted from the chamber, a amatl quantity of stannlo chloiid vapor at a pres euro of from three to four centimeters waa allowed to enter and tha aro drawn. Under theso condltlona a stable are three to four Inchea long oould be pro duced. The ero waa Intensely white and ao steady that It had tha appearance of a thick Incandescent filament alightly bowed and at rroundod by flame Ilka less lumlnoua ahell of yellow. Tho vapors from thta aro, however, aoon collected on the walla, form ing denae brown coat, which proved to be mainly tin ceroid with mixture of atannle chlorld and other Intermediate eompounda. "These preliminary teata having Indicated possi bilities aa oral! aa having shown the difficulties to be overcome, additional amaller lampa were constructed along somewhat Improved tinea." The typ finally adopted haa an arc -chamber In which the are la formed between tunraten eleatrodea, partly surrounded with a refractory Insulator. Experi ment showed the exact combination, of gasea that would produce tho leaat "soot." Theso are Intro duced In liquid form. The appearanc of the aro In tho new lamp la described aa differing In Important yeapecte .from that of the ordinary arc-tamp. We read: "It la uaually very atabla, about 'one-eight-Inch In diameter, tubular In form, and varlea from two to five Incba tn length, the varlatlona being due to difference In pressure, naturae of tbe gases supplied,' etc.' A high pressure naturally Increases tha Intrlnelo brilliancy ot tho aro, but makea It neces sary to operate at a shorter length, aa the gaa cur rent due to tempemturo-dlfferenoea and arc-reaction aro eorreapondlngly more vlotont. Tho diameter ot the central lumlnoua tube la alao reduced wtth a Increase In praosuro. "Soma of the area rovotvo very slowly, but as a rule tbo low pressure of tbe gases minimises the motion of the are. and tho general appearance la that of thick. Intensely white Incandescent fila ment allahtly bent at tho upper end. With some ot the vapor, as. for example, tho metal tod halogen compound. , antimony, phosphorus, and araenlo chloride, the central tubular portion la aurrounded by ragged flam, which la light pink tn tho case of arsenic and pale green In the caa of phosphorua. "The flame portion acta somewhat aa an absorb ing ecreen, thuo reducing tho total nsefMl radiation. It la a eurtoua fact that this flame nay extat for a short, but ppreclol time after the circuit haa been Interrupted, thus faaMcoUn that It probably does not hare a part in tbo eooductlo of electricity throuah the vapor, but appero rather to bo eon I whk-h th vapor after being dissociated by the beat and electrical effecta of the or recoxabiae. Tbe tana ess lonta of tho aro results I greater efficiency, since tho nrUtlaney is alao much enhanced By ualng ftvo time a xnwca powor tbo Ught-erreit may be multiplied by twenty, the efrtctoocy being thus four time that of tho standard form.

It waa even planned to have eongreaa raise the tax on this product. It appeara to me the dairy Interests could Junt aa well use this fund to wards bettering their own product. In stead of persecuting oleomargarine, which Is not only whole soms and Invit ing In both color and flavor, but la also exceedingly economical at all times of year. The oleomargarine tax Instead of being raised should ba repealed. It ws passed In tho first place at the Instiga tion of the dairy Interests merely to hamper oleomargarine and handicap Ita sale. Its pose as a revenue measure has never deceived anyone. In fact Its repesl la advocated by the revenue de partment Itself as a costly, oseleas and thoroughly bothersome piece of legisla tion. Another Item which la usually over looked la that the tax la borne, not by the makers, but by tho users of oleomargarine. Tho amount of tax Is simply added to tho price of the product and tha consumer paya the bill. Ths consumer, usually a bard working mem ber of tho hard working class, can 111 afford to pay It. E. R.
