IYTELLECTVAL pROGRESS


The Phi Beta Kappa society Of New
York, at recent meeting in Saratoga,
appointed committee to consider
means of securing in connection with
the worlds fair, "a proper repre- scnta-
tion of the intellectu lie of the
American people, as manifested by
their progress in science and litera-
ture." The committee was authorized
to offer two prizes of three thousand
dollars for ''the best general essays on
the progress of science and literature
respectively" uch essays to embrace u
philosophical discussion of the develop
ment in the past and the prospects for
the future.
This important patriotic work was
placed in the hands of gentlemen fore
most IN education and letters. They
are not only competent to judge of the
value of the work submitted, but ad-
mirably representative, comprising the
presidents OF Harvard, Yale, Johns Hop
kins and Cornell colleges and the
universities OF Minnesota and Michi-
gan. The liberal prizes offered will un-
talent in the country, aud result in IL
valuable contribution TO the history of
the nation.
1t is to be hoped that some equally
patriotic society will follow this COM
mendable example and offer generous
prizes for essays on the progress in other
departments of our national life. The
industrial development of the country,
our progress in the mechanic as we'll as
the fine arts, our marvellous resources,
mineral and agricultural, which make
the United States the envy of the world,
and our wonderful growth in population
during the present century, are them
selves worthy of the best pens. They
certainly would form an admirable
historical addition to the material
wealth displayed in commemoration
of the landing of Columbus.

oMAHA,s COMING GUESTS.

The visit to Omaha of the delegates
to the International American Congr
which will occur during the present
week, promises to be an event of special
local interest aside from its general sig
niiicance.
Omaha has been chosen as one OF the
few western cities which is to be hon
ored by the sojourn of the most distin-
guishod party of foreigners which has
ever visited this country. She was SO
selected because she is known MS an en-
terprising, pushing and rapidly
developing representative western
city, the entrepot for great agricultu-
raj region aud the manufacturing con-
ter and distributing point for the min
eral lands of the far west. The visit of
the Three-Americas congress to Omaha
will mark the extreme western point to
which the party will travel.
1t is of the greatest Importance that
our citizens should understand clearly
the necessity for earnest cooperation
with the various committees who
are now working hard to pre-
pare proper entertainment for our
guests. For nearly two days Omaha
will be asked to act as host to the sixty
delegates from Central and South
America who have come to this country
at the nations invitation to discuss
measures for closer commercial rela-
tions with the United States. Their
reception at various points will have its
weight in the final outcome of their de-
liberations. Their journeyings and
their sojourns are each made for this
purpose, and it is important that the
impressions made of the resources of
country and cities wherever they go
shall be of the best.
Quite apart from the Importance OF
creating favorable impression upon
the distinguished representatives of
the Three Americas, it should not be
forgotten By Omaha that they are ac-

UnpIeasantiy Significant.

htHiFU EHtFpNtS6.
The defeat of Judge Reese is an unfortun-
ate thing for tho reputation of Nebraska
abroad as well as for her interests at home
1t may also turn out to be an unfortunate
thing for the republican party.
Judge Reese is an ablo man with an honor
able record. He has been neither an anti
railroad shrieker nor tool of corporations
He has been simply an upright Judge, ad-
ministering justice according to the dictates
of common sense, of his conscience and the
statutes. He has served one term acceptabiy
and ought to have another if faithful service
in high places is to be considered here as
elsewhere, good reason for Endorsement
Whatever may have been the motives of
the clements that opposed HIM and whatever
the merits of Mr.. Norval, who received the
nomination, the defeat of Judge Reese Will
everywhere be ascribed to the work, money
and influence of the railroads. And the i'm
putation that the supreme court of Nebraska
can be made up in the interest of the corpo-
rations and manipulated in their behalf Is an
imputatation which will iniure her every
where and humble the self,respect of her
own people. III there is any branch of the
government which should be- like Caesars
wife, above suspicion, it is the supreme court,
and the defeat of Judge Reese at this time i s
unpleasautly significant.

Reese's Defeat an Outrage.
MA


The defeat of Judge M. B. Reese fer re-
nomination to tho supreme iudgeship at the
republican state convention in Hastings was
an outrage committed upon an unsuspecting
people. Judge Reese has made Nebraska
one of the abest judges she has ever had on
the supreme bench, and his denomination and
election was only a common courtesy due
hlm. But the whole trouble was in the fact
that he did not favor corporations as much
as he could have done, hence the fight made
on him. Nearly onehalf of the counties
throughout the state instructed their dele
gates for Reese, but it seems these instruc-
tions were wholly disregarded and proxies
werc bought UP to such an extent that the
whole matter was taken out of the hands of
the people at large and the convention got
into the hands of few TOOLS Judge f.. I.
Norval, the nominee, is probably an able
man and u good man, but the fact of his
being backed by the combined railroad and
corporation forces is a sad commentary upon
mis- nomination. Every tair- minded republi-
can in the state was, no doubt, IN favor of
the retention of Reese upon the supreme
bench, and he should have been nominated.

RUSSIA AND GERMANY.
A Man who Thinks Their Interests
Are Not Antagonis;ic.

~
Are Not Antagonisiic.
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. Ito the Editor
of TIE Bee In your issue of October 12
noticed series of comments on European
affairs, evidently contributed, which con-
tans certain statements that to my certain
knowledge are very unjust and unsupported
by any well-established Fact. l refer to the
remarks on Germany and Russia. 1t is
stated that the interests of Germany and
Russia are autagonistic 1t is further as
serted that the 'organs Of Prince Bismarck
have frequently stated with almost "trutish"
franKness, that the triple alliance was
formed in ''restraint of Russian ambition
in the I3alkans.n 10 this 1t need only be
said that look at the map must satisfy
anyone that Germany has no interests ill., on
or beyond the Balkans superior to the inter
ests OF any other commercial country, GER
tainly not nearly as much as Great Britain,
and far less even than France. IL this IL
true, then the Interests OF Germany and
Russia are not antagonistic. The interests
of civilized Europe may be- and probably
are antagonistic TO Russia, and those OF
Austria are more particularly so. but 10 say
this of Germany Is clearly mistake. Ger
many and Russia are neighbor states. Tho
Russian boundary is more extensive than
any other boundary of Germany. The latter
country being commercially ana IN
manufactury far ahead of Russia, de
sires reasonably free trade with Russia, but
Russia puts the heaviest restraints on each
trade. In this sense there might be talk OF
antagonistic intonts, bit the triple alliance
could not alter this.
The explanation of the existence OF this
alliance is too simple, am afraid, 10 he &C
copied by the American journalists who
persist in finding all sorts of deep mysteries
in European politics. 1T is simply the con-
tnued aggressiYeness Of France, and the
latter cOuntry's persistent effort to effect
an alliance with Russia for the purpose of
war Such an alliance would threaten the
peace of Europe, for the members of the
triple alliance afe peaceful, while Russia and
France have always been aggressive.
But the gravest mistake Is made ia the
assertion that the German chancellor
planned and schemed and announced IL as
bar against Russian progress To the east.
The mistake is sef-evIdent Prince Bis
marcll this his worst enemy must admit Is
q thoroughly honest man, but had it been
hls honest intention to stop Russian pro
gress as above claimed, he might still have
continued honest without being fool. For
only fool would have blabbed a secret that
was evidently of the greatest Importance,
The facts arc that Bismarck never made
opposed the idea Of a portion of the Ger
man parliament TO interfere in the Bulgarian
affair He turned the whole matter into
ridcule ana emphaticaily stated that Ger
man Interests in Bulgaria were as nothing
compared with the friendship Of Russia, that
Russia had a good right to her influence in
bulgaria and that Germany had no interests

terest to tho convention OF this year,
and its proccedings have consequently
been regarded with more than usual
concern by the authorities and members
OF the church. Nearly seventy bishops
compose the upper house, while the
representatives OF fifty-one dIoccses,
each with four clerical and fourlay dep
uties, and fftoen Jurisdictions under the
charge Of missionary bishops, each hav-
ing one cleiScal and one lay repre-
sentative having seat and voice but no
vote, make up a body numbering over
five hundred members and represent
ing a church whose boundaries are CO.
terminous with those of the land.
The powers of the general convention
OF the American Episcopal church are
not original but derived. The churches
in the respective states OF America
came into union one hundred years
ago on the basis of absolute equal
ity, independence and autonomy, and
each diocese subsequently, received into
| union with the convention has entered
into these fedorate relations on the
same tcrms. Reserving certain inher-
ent rights of equality and indepcnd-
cnce, there was surrendered by each
church on entering the federation of
churches making up the American
Episcopal church general in this land
such an exercise of independency as
would permit withdrawal from the
| union at pleasure and without
the assent of the other do
ceses, and also the right of
having the bishop it might elect con-
secrated without the assent Of the
| church at large. Other things given
up were the privilege of sole aud unre-
stricted legislation, the right of estab
fishing an Independent diocesan lit
urgy, and the right of making separ-
ately any alteration or modification in
the compact or charter of union.
The onvention of this year has de-
liberated upon q number of very i'm
| portant questions, among them those
| OF change in the basis of representa-
! tion and liturgical revision, the latter
being regarded as of commanding i'm
portance. The matter of a fuller rec
ognition of the colored churches has
| also received consideration. A pro-
grcssive spirit has pervaded the con-
! vention, and the results of its delibera-
| tions will doubtless be to the advantage
| of the future of the church.

ARMY REORGANLzArInN.

Several important measures relating
to changes in the methods and organi
cation Of the army are likely to be con-
sidered in the next congress. One of
these, which attracted attention in the
last congress and the preceding one, is
the Logan bill, which touched upon
many subjects of military administra-
tion, among sother things a more sum-
mary method Of disposing Of minor Of
fenses in the routine of army life by
constituting q court of a single Of
1icer in each garrison. Another meas
ure, which more directly aims at u
change of organization, is that of Sena-
tor Mandcrsen, which provides for ad-
ding fifty companies to the infantry,
with a view to giving it a twclve-com
pany, three-battalion organization, like
that of the cavalry and artillery. The
objection hitherto to this measure has
been that it would increase the cost of
the army at least million dollars.
Another measure, known as the
Steele bill, provides that in
time of peace each of the
regiments of cavalry, artillery
and infantry, although at all times fully
o!iicered, is to have only eight COM
panies manned. This would effect re-
ductlon in the cost of maintaining the
army. A fourth measure, the Wheeler
bill, has for its leading feature an in-
crease of the artillery. There are d
number of other bills relating to army
reorganization that were introduced in
the last congress or the one preceding,
and as there is q great deal OF conflict
between them it would seem that an en-
tircly new bill will be necessary as n
compromise in order to effect any re-
organization.

A CHURCH CENrENNLAL.


The centennial convention of the
Episcopal church, which has been in
session in New York since October 2,
marks an epoch in the history of that
denomination of great interest to the
entire religious world. The general
convention is divided into two houses,
the house of bishops and the house of
deputies, and this arrangement was
effected October g. 1889. The history
of the efforts leading to this
result embraces II controversy extend
ing through several years, eventual
ing in the formal modification
of the constitution hundred years ago,
SO as to secure the right OF the bishops
to sit as a separate house, with the
power to originate and propose acts for

Der hill and field, October's glories fade;
Ger hill and field the backbirds south

The brown leaves rustic down the forest

Where naked branches make titful shade,
And the last blooms of autumn withcred
lie.
The berries on the hedgerow ripen we'll,
Holly and cedar, burning bush and brier;
The partridge drums in some half-hidden
dell
Where all the ground is gemmed with leaves
that fell,
Last storm, from the tall naples crown Of

The chirp of crckets and the hum of bees
Come family up from marsh and meadow
Where reeds and rushes whisper in tha
breeze,
And sunbeams slant between the moss grown
trees,
Green on the grass and golden on the sand.
From many tree whose tangled boughs are
bare
Lean the rich clusters of the clambcring
vine;
October's yellow hazes dim the air
Upon the uplands and the valley, where
The distant stceples of the village shine.
Adown the brook the dead leaves whirling go;
Above the brook the scarlet sumachs burn;
The lonely heron sounds his note of woe
In gloomy forest swamp where rankly grow
The CRIMSON. cardinal and feathery fern.
Autumn is sad; n cold blue horizon
Darl1ly oncircles chequered fields and

Where late the gold of ripening harvests

And Autumn means tho loss of Summers
