the midst OF most wonderful agricul-
tural country, which is being rapidly
settled by thrifty farmers. The towns
and cities throughout Nebraska resem-
BILE Omaha in certain way, for they
are all bright and busy, and growing
rapidly. AS they grow,so grows Omaha.
There is a certain thrift and enterprise
about the people which make Nebraska
essentially northern state. Indeed, |
think Bostonian might take up his
residence in Omaha without missing
many of the delights OF the Hub.
Musically, Omaha is far advanced.
She boasts Ladies' Musical
society, and also an Apollo cluba male
organization of thirty voices. We have
had two weeks OF the national opera.
We have had Patti-and Patti, by the
way, took from Omaha more money for
received in single night in any Amer
lean city. We have Booth and Barrett,
Langtry, Salvini, Bernhardt and all
the lesser lights of the stage.
II hope my enthusiasm does not run
away with me-" said Mr.. Brigham, in
conclusion, "but there is q unique
pleasure in living in a growing western
city, which you would readily under
stand If you were once in such place
yourself. Omaha is the halfway house
between Boston and San Francisco. We
call her the Gate City, and the gates
are always open. One thing more.
Omaha is the most hospitable town in the
United States, and in time she will be
one of the most beautiful. Don't for
get Omaha, If you are passing by, and
don't wait too long, for in 1900 you will
find her metropolis Of 900 inhabi-

THERE is favorable promise that rail-
road construction this year will be very
much larger than was expected when
the year opened. During the first three
months nearly eleven hundred miles of
track were laid, exceeding the number
OF miles for the corresponding period of
last year. On this fact leading rail-
way journal expresses the opinion that
railroad building for this year will not
fall below eight thousand miles, and
may reach twelve thousand miles, or
even exceed that figure. A large num-
ber of new enterprises in the way of
railroad building are projected, particu-
larly in the southern and southwestern
states and in the territories, and all the
indications are that railway construction
will greatly exceed what was expected
at the beginning OF the year, with the
possibility OF reaching pretty. close to
last years record of nearly thirteen
thousand miles.

THE terrible accident on the main
line of the Burlington road near Alma,
which is said to have been caused by a
washout under the foundations of a
bridge, should be promptly and thor
oughly investigated by the state board
of transportation, and the facts ascer-
tanned by the board should be made
public without reserve. If the accident
is due to negligence on the part of the
managers Of the road, they should be
held responsible.

THE educational world is at present
watching with considerable interest and
impatlence the work of completing the
great Lick telescope and observatory on
Mount Hamilton in California. The
event is likely to mark an epoch in as
tronomy. No expense has been spared
to perfect an instrument which shall
combine all the latest inventions and
discoveries in that science. The tele-
scope itself is equipped with the largest
lenses ever used. The observatory has
been built with every known mechani-
cal appliance that can aid IN the work.
With such an instrument the heavens
will be read as an open book, and the
stars will be mere punctuation marks
across the page.

1T will be we'll if the anniversary of
General Grants birthday shall here
after be regularly celebrated, not
merely by banquets in a few cities, as
on last Friday evening, but generally,
SO that the whole people can share in it
and thereby manifest the nations re-
spect for the memory of the great
soldier. The fame of Grant will grow
brighter with the years, and the more
carefully his claims to the honor of his
countrymen are studied the stronger
they will appear. 1t is an essential
part of the education of the people in
patriotism that they shall not be allowed
to forget patriots whose ability and vir-
tues contributed to maintain and cement
the union. OF these General Grant

ENGL1su constitutional writer's have

ENGLISH constitutional writer's have
pointed out the fact that the political
complexion of Europe is gradually be-
Coming Americanized. Imperceptibly
the British have absorbed American
ideas of government which become a
part of their laws after passing through
the hands OF parliament, In France
there is a general feeling that the
French constitution is imperfect, and
shat the best thing to do is to throw it
aside and frame body of laws as nearly
modelled after the constitution of the
United States as the structure of that
country will pemit. Having lmbibed
the first principles of a republic from the
French savants of the last century, the
United States will gladly give their de-
scendants the benefit OF the draft which
has withstood the straining test of war
and peace.

IT is not out of place for the BEE to
say good word for Mr.. Nat M.
Brigham, who Is SO closely identified
with the musical circles of our city. A
glance at the gentlemau's interview
with the Boston Herald concerning
Omaha, reprinted in another column,
will show that Mr.. Brigham can do as
much in aiding Omaha's commercial in
terests as he has done in elevating our
musical tastes.

IT is now definitely known at the ma
tional capital that President Cleveland's 8
intentions with regard to the vacant
chief iusticeship are decidedly indef-
mite. This definitely disposes of all the
rumor, gossip and gabble which for the
past thirty days has been wired from
Washington by enterprising news
mongers, and affords them further scope
for exercising their ingenuity in con-
cocting political fiction.

AMERICAN clergymen, that is to say
the ministers of the United States, will
watch with extreme interest the case
now pending in the United States cir
cult court of New York against the
wardens Of Trinity church over the inn
portation from England of Rev. E. Wal
pole Warren. The facts are still fresh
in the public mind how Trinity church
of New York made an agreement with
Mr.. E. Walpole Warren from Great
Britain to take charge of the church upon
an agreed salary. In making such con-
tract the church corporation laid itself
open to charge of violating the statute
forbidding Importation of contract
labor. OF course the wardens and
vestrymen of Trinity deny that the hir-
ing of clergymen comes within the let
ter or intent OF the statute. But the
district attorney insists that the law
has been violated since a preacher can
not claim the exception in favor of
actors, artists and singers. The case
was taken under advisement. Peculiar
as this case is, it will excite universal
OF many a pulpit sermon. Home-preach-
ing and home-talent deserve encour-
agement in preference to the inn
ported article. Preachers can make
strong plea for protection.
Ten of the best paying churches in
New York city are served by imported
clergymen. The home product is
thereby brought into sharp competition
with this foreign labor. Meanwhile
American theological schools, which
are infant industries just as much as
woolen mills, arc turning out every
| year enough of this form of labor pro-
duct to fully supply the home demand.
In spite of its oddity, this question is
sufficiently serious to be looked at as
one of our labor problems.

the obligations Of the state in relation
TO public education. The important
matter to determine is where the line
should be drawn. This is what the cur
rent discussion has chiefly in view, and as
we have said its general drift is in
favor OF curtailment OF the obligations
OF the state to such provision for the in
struction of its youth as will equip them
for intelligent citizenship. 1t contem-
plates as the sole duty of the state to
give to every child series of years
which are devoted to mental discipline,
leaving him at the end of the specified
time with nucleus around which he
can ever afterward build. In other
words, at the public school he is to
learn the alphabet of education, so that
he may go through life spelling his
way and ever acquiring new knowledge.

The Baltimore and Ohio road is
building large number of new en-
gines which, when completed, will
probably be the largest and most
powerful on earth. The boilers will
be much larger and capable of pro-
ducin9 three times the motive pow
err of the largest of any of their pres
ent mountain climbers. These en-
gines are constructed for the dual
purpose of making greater speed and
at the same time with reference to
dispensing with the services of so
many helpers on the mountains on
the main stem and Pittsburgh Dlvis-
ton. They will be used from Con-
nelSville to Cumberland, and from
Piedmont to Grafton and return.
One of them will be expected to pull
passenger train of two sleepers,
two coaches, smoker, two express
and one baggage car, where two
large engines are now employed and
at the same time make better time
than the two have yet been able to
do. A. J. Cromwell. Master of Ma

State of Trade.

In spite of the Astounding and un-
conouerable vitality of the country,
periods of temporary hesitation, or
reaction, are inevitable, and one has
apparently been reached. The cOun-
trv at present is borrowing more and
producing less. The local market for
securities depends essentially upon
the placing of bonds abroad and the
foreign demand for stocks, and both
continue. But for the movement of
foreign CAPITAL this way, to pay for
bonds and stocks. a heavy outgo OF
gold would be required to meet the
excess imports over exports, Sue
cess in Borrowing foreign money to
paw for imports makes the markets
for securities strong, and money here
Il superabundant. But, meanwhile,
sesArsions at an increasing number
of pOints in the interior are slow ;
caution of buyers checks production
in Important industries, and crop
prospects are not flattering. For the
time, the tendency is toward a de.
crease in production.
