Thompson, the man accused of stealing
several dozen horses in Huerfano county,

Texas, was to-day bound over in 500 before

The earnings of the road above interest ac-
count were 81, 000, 900 after paying every

troubled with u surplus.
Never, perhaps, has the agricultural out
look in Colorado worn a brighter appearance,
and as a result the farmers, as well as all
other classes, are correspondingly cheerful.
Money which has been laid up to use in case
of a season of drouth and a failure of crops
has been put into circulation and business in
the various branches of trade is decidedly
active.
SIT is the unanimous sentiment of the peo-
pie of Colorado" says the Republican, THAT
the rates on west-bound freight from the sea-
board, as established by the Panhandle and
accepted by the roads from the east, should
not be advanced, either now or at any future
time. Colorado has paid tribute to rapacity
long enough, and it is time now for justice
to have an inning in the matter Of transpor-
tation rates.

Germ, and ought to be made q subject OF

Our Police Force sumcient.

Chief Seavey has been asking for adj
ditions to his force. There Is no neces-
sity at present for more policemen in
Omaha. While fifty more officers could
be used, we have no money In the treas
ury for the employment Of these men,
and we cannot afford the expense. The
city has very nearly reached the stand
ard in the ratio OF patrolmen to popula-
ton. The fact that some over-zealous
friends Of Omaha have exaggerated the
population to some extent need not be
considered in this connection.
1t is true that a large share Of that
class which gives the police trouble is
located at South Omaha. But police
surveillance in South Omaha has moth
ing TO do with our metropolitan force.
South Omaha is no part of Omaha at
present, and II a disturbance OF the
peace occurs at South Omaha, the local
authorities there must take charge OF
their law-breakers. II assistance is
needed in that city to put down lawless-
ness, the sheriff of the county is the
proper person to appeal to, and not our
chief of police.
That MI. Seavey wants as many men
as possible under his command is
a natural desire. Every colonel
in the army, doubtless, would
like to be division commander, and
every division commander longs for the
day when he may be made corps COM
mander.
AT this time, however, Omaha can
not crafty Chief Seavey's ambition by
an increase of the police force. The
city is loaded down with taxes.
Until the army Of t~ax-eaters
is shut out, the police force
must necessarily be confined to its pres
ent limits. Some of our people go to
extremes. For a long time Omaha was
allowed to suffer by inadequate police
protection. Now that we have good
police protection, some of our states
men want to override the business by
going TO the other extreme.

THE Knights of Labor of Colorado
are about TO start an experiment in CO.
operation at Glenwood Springs, which,
if successful, is destined to have a great
influence on the order. Several hun
dred acres have been secured on Grand
river which are to be turned into farm
ing land. Canning works and kindred
establishments are to be erected which
gill introduce a new industry into Colo
RADIO. The colonists who have under
taken the work are enthusiastic and
bespeak for the enterprise the support
OF not alone the knights but the people
of the state. Cooperation in the United
States has not been n success. 1t is to
be hoped, however, that the Knights Of
Labor have evolved a plan which viii
prove eminently beneficial.

IT is gratifying to observe a growing
opposition to the system of maintaining
private armed m%ercenaries. The Chi
cago Herald says: "Of all the heinous
departures from freedom, the business
of private military, private oificering of
the people, private butchery of the in
habitants for the hire Of quarreling en-
ployers-this business has been the
widest detection from liberty" 1t is
only necessary for intelligent men to
consider the AZ nature of this "delec-
ton from liberty in order to discern
the danger it involves to the rights of
the people and to the principles on
which American institutions are
founded. 1t is in every possible aspect
hostile to u system Of government and
a menace tothose constitutional guaran-
tees upon which rests our security as a
free people. 1t is a dangerous and in
tolerable evil that has been stealthily
growing upon US until it has reached
alarming proportions, and it must be
firmly met and put down. ,

IT is not surprising that Germany is

IT is not surprising that Germany is
threatened by q socialistic upheaval,
the m~utterings of which are plainly
heard. The opportunity of shaking off
the strong imperial hold, which Bis
marck created, could not have been
chosen at a more propitious time. With
Emperor William dead, Frederick, Bis
marck and Won Moltke nearing their
graves, the revolutionists count upon
the death of these three men to over
throw the imperial creation of a united
Germany. The socialists are working
upon the feelings of the various south
ern German states. Their propaganda
is spread through the agricultural dis
tricts. They plausibly point out that
the unity of the empire was accom-
plished by force, and that the different
states submitted themselves to the
domination of Prussia in the
hope that the union promised
peace and prosperity to all.
| These not-unionists demand hat the
states shall move and obtain the auton-
! omy from Prussia which, they claim,
has been the sole beneficiary of the ANAL
gamation. That Prince William, when
he ascends the throne will listen to any
such measures, is out of the question. If
the revolutionists are anxious to regain
the autonomy of the various states they
must fight for it. But the struggle will
be a desperate one. Prince William
has all the mettle and temper of the
| Hohenzollerns to hold a firm grasp on
imperial Germany. If he comes out
victorious and the German empire re-
mains intact, the voice of disunion will
be silenced forever, and the young
prince will most worthily wear the EN-,
peror's crown left to him by his illustri-
i GUS grandfather.

Hancock fell in Pickett's charge has

few years General Meade's part in the
battle will be suitably remembered by o

Where fevered souls lave

But she happened TO scratch
A red-headed match,

THE national republican convention
meets in a hall which will hold no more
than seven thousand people. A great
deal Of complaint has been heard
against the national committee for not
providing a meeting place where at
least twice that number of people could
be accommodated. But the special
committee having the matter in charge
was expressly instructed to engage no
building that would hold more than
eve thousand people, The action of
the national committee was commenda-
BILE. A national convention is some-
thing more than a great moi mass meet
ing where the galleries have more to
say than the elected delegates. The
nominating of a president should be a
deliberate, cool, and business-like pro-
cedure. But when a bowling, ire
sponsible body pack the hall and out
number the delegates fifteen to one,
the convention is practically handed
over TO these outsiders, who can make a
farce Of the deliberations by electing a
curb-stone candidate.

THE Republican wants the city coun-
ell to take immediate steps to provide
5000, 900 for parks and b%oulevards for
Omaha. The Republican has been a
long time coming around, and has
changed its front since the memorable
fight over the charter. Before the
Republican champions the park ques-
ton, it had better explain where Cadet
Taylor stood during the fight on the
Omaha charter when the clause re-
lating to parks was under discussion.
In collision with Doodle contractors and
interested real estate men, he
did everything in his power to pre-
vent any provision for parks in the
city Of Omaha. The clause in the
charter giving the city authority
to buy land and lay out a system of
parks was struck out by the help of
Cadet Taylor and his satellites. 1t is,
to say the least, in bad taste now to try
and foist a job OF the city to accommo-
date certain schemers. Omaha is too
heavily in debt at present to bond her.
self for the extension of her park sys-
tenn. The land that could have been
secured at a nominal price under the
park-clause of the charter, will now
cost Omaha hundreds of thousands of
dollars. We cannot run recklessly into
further debt, and for that reason THE
BEE is directly opposed to the scheme.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
The School Board Middle

There seems to be an unWarranted delay in
settling up the affairs of the old school board.
When they retired from office they handed in
a statement of the receipts and disburse-
ments, but their successors asked for the
vouchers that should accompany it. They
were refused on the ground that, although
public documents, they were the private
property Of the retiring members, who
wished to hold them for their own protection.
Such papers as they did hand over were then
submitted to Mr.. Gibbons, of the South
Omaha Savings bank, to examine as an eX-
pert, but so far he has not received q sutti-
cient number to enable him to begin work.
Superintendent Drummer has visited tho
scene and ordered al immediate surrender of
all documents, and at the same time or
dcrcd the members to refund the 800
salary that they each had drawn.
The salary is said TO have been
paid under peculiar circumstances. AT one

dozen TO twenty by the friends and enemies
district, and on motion of the then City
Attorney Grice, moved that the board be
paid for their services. This was carried,
and the board paid themselves, but, as above
stated, Superintendent Bruner has notified
them that it is illegal and that they must re-
fund, the secretary alone being entitled to
compensation.
BY the way, the new board does not seem
inclined TO let the people know anything what
as going on, and r~eligiously refuse TO notify
the reporters as TO when ana where their

The exhibition drill of the Omaha guards,
given at the arlnory last night, was an invi-

hundred of the elite of Omaha society.
Among the guests were Governor Thayer,
General Brooke, General Wheaton, Colonel
Fletcher, Major Butler, Major Hughes, Cap
tain Ray and Lieutenants Kinze, Mallory,
Turner and Wright.
The programme included company forma-
ton, dress parade and inspection by Gov
ernor Thayer and Chaplain Gardner. The
governor addressed the assemblage in a
pleasant informal manner, commencing the
efficiency in drill and the fine appearance of
the company and recommending it as an or
ganization in which Omaha might and should
take especial pride.
After a short intermission the drill corps,
composed of thirty members selected from
the company, gave an exhibition in marchings,
facings, e%vadlngs, irings and the manual.
The maneuvers were made under the direc-
ton of Captain A. H.. Scharff, commanding.
The music was furnished by the guards
band, recently organized with twenty pieces.
IL was led by Herr Schunke and gave excel
lent music. Herr s.. is a veteran of the
Prussian army, and has been elected sergeant
and band master of the company. One fea-
ture of the dress parade was the drum corps.

up to dancing, and the participants appeared
in full evening dress. Here again the music
was furnished by the guard band. which
gives promise of great artistic achievements.

ruption. The armory was handsomely deco
rated with the national colors, draped and
