Mexican envoy on the border and else where must realize by tbl time that American no quite expert In a conventional game. An excess of nearly 20,000 vote cast by Nebraska republican at the primaries fore shadow tue size of the republican majority in November, Regular republicans captured the trenches of the Irregulars In California, The coast, like the rest of the country, Insists on unity In fronting the enemy. Still there are thousands, ,posslbly millions of people as cordially disinclined to work as Ihe alrlkers down east. May weather atlmul g tea the hookworm. Another week will see practically all the republican convention delegates chosen and then the polling of delegations will take tbe .ilace of "straw" votes. "Jokers" In railroad rates spell incompe tence in tbe making or willful discrimination. Humorists have their place In the scheme of Ife, but not In tbe ratemaklng department of ailroads. Military courts-martial made short work of tbe Irieb rebel leader. British leniency toward mlB&iilded Irishmen rarely reaches the level of humane consideration recently accorded to Gen eial Christian Do Wet.

The persistent efforts of the democratic World-Herald to arouse sectional prejudice against Omaba ought not to go unnoticed. In Its desperation to bolster up the weaknes of Its owner's senatorial candidacy, It Is con tinually urging the voters of the state to come ever to its side and vote against republicans because tbey happen to be residents of the metropolis. Should a man bo punished be cause he has established his home and built up his success In Omaha? Have the people living In Douglas county forfeited their rights as citi zens because they happen to he more numerous than tho&e of other several political subdi visions of the state. The nominations on the republican ticket were made by voters of tbe state ag a whole, well aware of what they were doing. It 1 hardly likely that the democrats rejected any of the proffered candidates In making their selections because of the location of the aspirant's home, or that any was choseii solely because he happened to be a resident of a particular locality. However this may be, what Is to be said of a newspaper, sustained by the support of local business men and pretend ing such devotion to the Interest of Omaha as does the World-Herald, that 'plead with It reader not to vote for candidate because their homes ?.ro in Omaha? - ( .

The reunion of the republican of Califor nia baB In it nothing of encouragement for the democrats. Jn no state In the union was the division between the different republican ele ment sharper than In the tiolden State. The logic of events, however, ha served to bring tho disputant there as elsewhere to a better understanding, and It has been discovered that the cause which led to the break were neither fundamental nor Immovable. The patriotic de sire of tbe republicans of California, In com mon with those of the country, Is greater than devotion to Issue that can better be adjusted within republican councils, and that can not be successfully fostered without. Even the most ardent of the progressive realizes now that no chance exists for his plan with the bourbons of democracy In control of the coun try. The republican party still I the one hope of those who look for advance In the affair of the United State, California's example I In spiring to all good republican. "Swat the Fly." Again the health commissioner sound hi warning to housewives and other, that the campaign against the fly I on. It is not so much against tbe fly himself, a wht he tand for. Flies mean dirt, and dirt mean disease. Health and bapinsss require that cleanliness be the rule. To keep clean means to be care ful. No sort of precaution Is proof against carelessness. Screens are efficient only when properly applied and maintained; the dally de struction of refuse in which flies and similar vermin breed, and wherein disease germs flour ish; the general watchfulness over all occupied premises, to see that cleanliness prevail these are separate steps in tbe campaign for safety In summer time. Not only Is it needed to wat tho fly, but to swat him In advance of his existence by removing and preventing condi tion under which It Is possible for him to be born at all. Health and comfort ere worth the price asked. No Cauie for Worry. All this worry or Suspense over possible complication with Germany is entirely need less and unwarranted and a waste of nervou cneigy. How do we know It? Why, we bave the positive assurance of that arch Bryan wor shiper, our old friend, Edgar Howard, who tell u this without any if or and: After hi mUnl'in In behalf of peace with Germany shall have been crowned with succeaa, as It will b Bryan will return to the old home atate to enjoy needed real, and to receive the thanka of every pa triot on the laalilea, becavme of bis labota In the ho'y cauae of honorable urc 8o. seeing that it is all settled In advance and nothing can possibly hnppen to disturb the equilibrium, there is nothing for any of us to do except sit bark in patience and wt wltn laurel wreaths for the home-coming of the peace-maker. The Tragedy of Failure. The world looks with admiration as well a pity on the brave In their endeavors to cany out any project, no mstlcr how foolhardy, that I,-, nol absolutely vicious In Its purpose. Kor this reason much of sympathy . will go out to the defeated Sinn Kelners. who bave Juat crossed from their Irlab borne to Kngland to bn tr'ed on the moat serious charge that can be hroughl against men. that of rebel.ton In lime of war. "We ne nol badly led. but milled." said one of the taptalns of the "army" thM as to set up tbe Republic of Ireland, snd therein be told Die whole tragic story.

The teat of a '-lcnc! la H ability to predict, phenomena that obey the law It la supposed to have discovered. In this respe.t meteorology fells fur short. The marKln of error H It caleulatlona la sometime normoue sufficient to completely reverse a prediction. The weather bureau la a useful Institution, bawd unon an Incomplete sys tem of correlated facta of observation, which are scientific, ea far aa they go.. Hut there are element concerned In the production of weather about wlfeh the method of meteorology give no Information, and which are not taken Into a'-count by any of Its the ories. There are birds, Insects and four-footed ani mal a whleh have an Incomperably greater foreknowl edge of weather changes than the entire scientific corpa of the Agricultural department poasesses. When the predlcter of the weather bureau glee warning of an approaching storm tbey act on -ve.y much the same principle as that on which a railroad time table I based. A train havlna besn announced by telegraph aa alerted on a given line, will arrive, In regular euceesslon, at certain point along that line, and a station agent at any given point can. If no acci. dent Intervenes, foretell the moment of the train' arrival at his station. Xtorm centers, or cyclone, moving across the coun try are. In iuim ways, comparable to trains following a time schedule. But, unfortunately, they do not run on rsils, they are not dilven hy sn Invariable force, they are subject to Interruptions end obstacles of many kinds, and Instead of always keeping the lis' K and following the course, they frequently wander vaguely about or take an unexpected turn or else fade away like exhausted whirl In water. In fart, the weather bureau predlcter ere In the same quandary In which train dispatchers would find themaelvea If railroad track were ahlftlng lines, con tinually drifting this Way and that, getting creased and entangled or sinking Into suddenly formed quag mire and thu disappearing for good I Meteorology, aa a eelenee or weather prediction, fail Juet becau It possesses too few facia. With the aid of the telegraph the weather bureau can, If lucky, follow the trail of a storm center across the 1'nlted tUates, but tt cannot tell Just how a new storm U born, nor Just when or where It will liegln Its course, The one only great fact on which It buses It whol system of prediction la the general tendency of cy clonic dlaturbenee In thla country to travel eustwerd, with a northerly trend, while aloims originating around the Uulf of Mexico and the Carrlbean Hex usually come up the coaat. But the official weather prognostlcstora are aa much in the dark aa the ordinary citizen concerning what ta going to happen In the atmosphere next wee, and they really know nothing aoout any storm until after It ha begun It career, and then all that they know I (from general principles) the course that It will teke In case It doesn't happen to change It mind.! The conduct of the weather during tbe last three month ha been eufflolently aurprlslng lo show bow Immensely desirable It i that we should bave some mean of forecaatlng the varying character of the sea sons. What recognisable cause have been at work to make the present spring so different from the corre sponding are son In 19167 A alight variation In the In tensity, or quality, of the radiation received from the sun might account for these things, and recent In vestigation show that "ch vs rial Ions occur, but what la needed I more accurate knowledge about them and their effect. The preaent la a period of maximum aun-apotted-neas, and generally when spots are numerous ami large on the sun the air temperature on the earth are lower, nd. In some region, storms are morn fre quent and violent. But all this I knowledge of so vague and general a nature that It throw but a glim mer of uncertain light upon the subject of weather vagaries. Meteorology telle u about temperatuies and hsr. ometria pressures, about degrees of humidity and of aridity, but It mlsse something else, which I evi dently of essential Importance. Heat and light are only two of an Infinite number of forms of vibration sent to us from the sun. Kverybody know that wb"n the weather record (how thet two day are precisely alike In temperature, In humidity, etc, human nerve prove that they are vastly unlike In some unnamed peculiarity which affects the spring of life. Tbe spider, bually and confidently spinning her webs In preparation for a spell of fine weather which some unerring mechanlam of foreknowledge within her enable her to detect, I a surer guide than a bs" ometer. Hhe responds to vibrations aa yet only guessed at by science, and so, perhaps, do tbe aupor sensitive nerve of many human creature. Proved by Analogy llf Pebllshed Inter lens. CLEVELAND, O.-Xewton D.

May 3,-To the Kdl t'.r of The Bee- The Nebraska chapter, Iaushters of the American Revolution, have rendered a notable sorvl:e to the tublic geneia'ly and to Nebraska In particular, In the luLII -a'-lon of their U dutiful book, "Nebraska Rcmlnli encen." It In jmcked with human "liter est" stories that grip the heart. .Vs hie. t.,rleel material the book Is of incalcu hlt value. That there could te lound w huge e minilwr of persons to eontrlbuM iw olIcctlooH of their early expeile.mes in Nebraska, that they should have pos sessed tho ability to write In a minner so graphic, so condensed and fffe"tlve, ' surprising. Ich of those contribution Is a gem. In reading the booli 1 saw many name of persens I know. it was alo sururlslng to find that so many of the arly settlers in Nebraska Hied in dug-outs at the atari. O'.r family lived In one a few months during our first summer In the territory and after wiid converted it Into a sUblo for four horar snd four cows und tbete they wcr buried for three days and night many fe t deep 1 y a nnwtorm. The ' til ,ry of Kontenelle" brought back reeollectlon of early days. My father was on of the Qulucy company Who platled thtc town. The church bell referred to In that story was senl out aa a present by a origregiitionallst church In ujuincy and Iso a silver communion service It was hauled out from Omiiha by Thomas Olb. son, who rigged It up on his wsgon In uch a way that aa he approached the village of Fontenello he rang It. He, w.t'i Afr, Myers, founded the Rocky Mountain News the first paper printed in Denver In Wih He waa a man of wonderful en ergy, Aa secretary of th Omaha Board of Trade he secured the sale by the city of Omaha to that organization of the lot on which th Hoard of Trade building was erected In th so. Th lot had pre vlouly been used by th fir depart ment. In th conr of a reient speech "Uncle Joe Cannon" said: "In the western end of this capitol I a picture entitled, 'Westward the Wlar of Empire Take If Way,' A great artist painted that pic ture. It represents the pioneer on hi way westward. There are the ateer an I tho mule bitched up together; there I the woman with tbe babe in her arms sitting In ihe wagon; there 1 th little grave by the roadside; there la th pioneer with his coonskln cap and the tittle boy, tho him or the grandson, carrying a rifle, followed by the faithful dog; another standa upon th mountain and looka to the westward. I waa part of that pic ture In a way by that I mean that I ex perienced most that It represented In th pioneer day and I looked upon the pic ture for tbe first time, thoifgh I am not mu'h given to tear, I caught myself crying and during all the years Mora 1 have ie er glen ed towaid ft wi.bout ear ing to myeelf; 'Uod ble the man who painted that plctur.' " And ro will say thousand of those win were "a part of the picture'' painted In this book: "Ood bles the noble women of the Newberg chapter of the Daugli tir of th American Revolution." JOHN T.
