the high handed outrage In the Republican
convention last week by which the choice Of
the majority Of the delegates was made the

The reference to illegally registered
voters is a reflection cimply on a Repub.
lican oficial, and 1t comes with extreme
ill grace, too, when it is known that Mr..
Booth doubtless did tie best he could,
under tho circumstances. THE MINER
at the time called attention to the de-
lfective law which threw the whole re-
spGnsibility of the city'so registration
upon one person, and for 80 doing the en-
ter Mountain" went into spaastns. Yet now
that Journal virtually accuses Mr.. Booth
Of illegally registering yoters--an accu-
sation which THE MINER was careful not
to even intimate, for it recognized the
fact that tie registration clerk, feeling
the responsibility unjustly imposed upon
him by the law OF the City Council, was,
in all probability, doing his best to have
q fair city registration.
This intimation of the "Inter Mount
ain" against Mr.. Booth, Is probably Just
as unjust Is is the allegation that
$4,000 will be expended in electing Mr..
Kenyon. This latter is really absurd.
Why should MI. Kenyon spend money for
this thanklsss Office ?, He is not aspir-
ing. He is not using the Mayorality as a
stepping-stone for the Governorship nor
the ~Senstorship.
On the other handthere is good ground
for believing thestories nowrbeing freely
on the street, to the effect that
Mr., Warren will leave nc stone unturned
to accomplish his purpose. Not merely is
1t intimated that money will be used.
but that Republican candidates will be
knitted in order to advance the
chances Of the embryotic candidate for
Governor. THE MINER does not charge
Mr.. Warren with these things. but since
the absurd allegation in the Inter

projected OUTLAWS, it is well enough to

The simple fact is that the bosses slate

industries, has just set sail to visit
the Parisi exposition at the ex-
pense of 6cripps' league of western
newspapers.ir'T The trip will include a
tour through the French manufacturing
centers, as vel as visit to the leading
English industrial centers. This is a
most worthy enterprise and deserves
encouragement. These men can not fail
to be impressed with the manufacturing
arts of Europey They will ret urn with
ideas to enrich our industries and will
bring back with them some of the Sc
crets Of foreign handiwork and meth
ods for which Europe is famous. Their
experience abroad will be watched
with keen interest, and there is little
doubt but that they will be favorably
received aud entertained by their fell
low workmen. This movement, set on
foot by private enterprise, is likely to
lead TO many more such similar excur-
sions, where the workmen OF the old
and new world can meet and compare

A LOST OPPORTUNITY.

Americans returning from Europe all
agree in saying that the United States
has not done itself honor at the Paris
exposition. All the reports are not
equally severe upon the American ex-
hibit, but they are alike to the effect
that it is most inadequately representa-
tive of our natural resources and pro-
ductions. Some go so far as to say that
in its entirety 1t is inferior to that of
the least of the several South American
countries. This may be giving the ex-
hiblt greater discredit than it deserves.
but it leaves no doubt that serious mis-
take has been made by our people in
not taking advantage of the great
opportunity offered by the French ex-
position to familiarize the people of
other nations with the extent and inn
portance of this country's productions.
Here, certainly, was the best possible
chance for the producers and manufac-
turers of the United States to thorough
ly advertise to the world our resources
and our claims to the consideration OF
foreign buyers, and we have neglected
to take advantage Of it. A few of the
features Of the American exhibit are.
it is true, unsurpassed. In the electric
department every other nation IS far
behind US, and in two or three other
lines we are in the front rank, but
this only serves to suggest what the
exhibit might be il an adequate inter
est had been taken in 1t, and does not
excuse US for failing in that interest.
One effect is to humiliate Americans
who visit the exposition, but this is an
inconsiderable matter compared with
the unfortunate sacrifice OF tho best
opportunity ever afforded US TO show
the world what we have, because no
previous international exhibition at
tracted the attention OF foreign people
so largely as this has done. Shall we

THE reasons assigned by the faculty
Of the Omaha medical college for ex-
Guiding women do not seem to US tn rest
on a sound basis. In view OF the fact that
women have been placed on an equal
footing with men by the leading med
ical schools in this country and abroad
the fear that the admission OF women
will frighten away the male medical
students does not appear we'll grounded.
AS long as women are willing to partic-
ipate with men in the dissecting room
and in the hospital wards, no serious ap-
prehension may be felt that the college
would suffer by co-education of the
sexes.
