Three years ago to-day the ONA-
HA DAILY BEE was first ushered
into the journalistic world. Unlike
other newspaper enterprises, its
birth was heralded by no pompous
prospectuses, and its advsnt did not
even create q ripple upon the sur
face of the then placid, social and
political sea Of Omaha.
There was nothing about the H.
shaped, dingy-looking 12x1s free
distribution advertising sheet Of
June 18th, 1871, that would inspire
enthusiasm or admiration In any
community. Three yean have
passed, and the unpretending free
gift advertising sheet has, by as
siduous labor and unremitting in
dustry, been transformed into the
leading daily newspaper Of Nebras-
Ia.
The most formidable monied
and political combinations have In
vain conspired to cripple or destroy
1t. The most INSCRIPTIONS and en-
vious rivals have vainly exhausted
all their ingenuity and cunning to
retard or stop its progress. Without
wealth, personal or political back
ing the BEE has, by its outspoken,
independent and consistent course,
f0iled all attempts to undermine and
crush 1t.
Its claim to journalistic pre-emi.
hence, Is not an idle boast, but 6
substantial fact, based on q con
stantly expanding circulation. W.
have in our possession, the officia'
returns Of the postmasters from
fifty towns and cities In Nebraska
and these returns prove beyond
reasonable doubt that the circula-
ton of the BEE In these localities il
fully equal to the combined ciIcula,
ton Of all the Omaha datlies.
In hooking back over those thre'
eventful years, we are more thar
ever confirmed in our resolution Il
continue in the future As We have IL
the past, never 70 lover the stand
ard of Independence IN the discus
sion of public measures and public
men. It has been our pride during
al the vieissitudss Of the past thre,
years to uphold the principle tha
the BEE shall nsvsr become the or
gan Of any politician or political
faction or monopoly. This pKinei
pie shall ever remain III guide II
conducting the BEE. For the al
most wonderful progress and pros
perity that has attended our efforts
we are indebted In Q great msssprI
to many unfinching friends WIN
have SO often given substantial evi
dence Of their appreciation Of tn
services that have been Fsndere<
by the BEE in advocacy Of popular
rights and the denunciation Of cor
ruption and imbecility in public
places.

II 10 be hoped that the n ebras-
- RePublioaa Convention will not
oily adopt the plank Of the Illinois
platform favoring the election OF
Presidents and Vice Presidents by
the direct vote Of the people |; but
that they will also include United
States Senators and local federal
officers. The present method Of
delegAtng the power originally
vested In the people to electoral col
lsges, legislatures, Presidents and
Cabinet officers has proved decided
ly unsatisfactory.

THE Herald seems ITO think
Mayor Chase has no business In the
Council Chamber. Does not that
paper know that there is q chair ON
the platform by the side Of the
President Of that body, set especial
ly Sor the Mayor? And does it
not also know that the first bust
ness In order after reading the
journal is recommendations from
the Mayors" Mayer Chase has
been In constant attendance at every
Council since his election, posting
up in municipal affairs, and for this
attention to business the Herald
abuses him. Out with such nom
