to congratulate themselves upon the
completion and opening Of "The Pad
dock" They may now truthfully boast
of possessing superb hotel and mag
nificent opera house. No city in the

they are indebted to Senator Paddock,
who has given them substantial proof
of his public spirit, enterprise and un-
bounded confidence in the future growth

STATE PRESS COMMENT.

"Prospects for railroad building in Ne
braska," says the Beatrice Democrat, "are
Frightening. Capital can no more afford to
be idle than can labor. The great surplus OF
money in the eastern markets can find no
other investment than in western securities.
With confidence restored, with feeling that
the people of Nebraska do not want to legis-
late railroads out of fair margin of profit,
railroad building will be pushed, and the
country will be developed as rapidly as busi-
ness will Justify"
The Hastings Nebraskan reaches the con-
clusion that Nebraska has drawn more
largely than usual this year from the great
manufacturing districts of the east of people
who came to cast their fortunes with us.
This may result in establishing many lines
of manufacturing, which, with the develop
,ment of our natural agricultural resources,
will give the state just what is needed to
make it's prosperity of a permanent and last
ing character"
Speaking of the coming mon partisan"
prohibition convention in Lincoln, the FIRE.
mont Tribune declares that it will be com
posed for the most part of republicans. and
inslnuates that the activity of John A. Demp-
ster for prohibition is inspired by an ambi-
tion to succeed Governor Thayer.
The tour of inspection undertaken by the
state board of equalization is the subject of
considerable comment The Fremont Flail
sees in it a scheme to reduce the assessed
valuation of railroads, and asserts that 1.-The
roads have been taxed, on the average too
lightly, and the board should be cautious
how they make a lower assessment" The
Paramount Signal says: 1.-THE people will
watch tie action of the board very suspi.
clously, aud should the board grant further
concessions, it's doubtful if they will accept
the dctum without protest"
To the Schuyler Sun it looks as if the anti
saloon party will be disturbing if not dis
astrous factor in the republican party.
The Hastings Democrat laughs heartily at
what it considers the predicament of the re-
publican party, and ridicules the appeal for
a non-partisan convention. 1t warns demo-
Gratis to stand aloof and says: ''You're in
the swim and they're in the soup, that's the
differen ce.'
Speaking of farm mortgages the Frem ont
Flail asserts that the opinions of Con gress-
mon Connell and Dorsey. recently published
in The BEE, are overdrawn. and declares
that instead of being money loaners the ma
jority of farmers "are still under the
hatches."
The Kearney Hub briefly reviews Paul
yandervoort's career, his discharge by Post
master-Gcneral Gresham, and declares that
in the sinecure created for him mis- profound
ability tor doing nothing will have full sway.
''There is no kind of work in this world that
he knows anything about, and unless the
public supports him he will often go to bed
hungry. He must be provided for, and the

ovcallant oualities she ia no. we'll liked

excellent qualities. she is not well liked
by the masses Of the people. The re-
publican party has quite vigorous or
ganizasion, and is believed to be pre-
pairing for revolutionary demoustra-
tration. Under such circumstances the
Brazilian government can hardly
be expected to take any part in
the congress. There had boen some
doubt about Mexico participating,
owing in part to the failure OF the com
mercial treaty between that country
and the United states, but the Mexican
government has signifed its intention
to be represented.
AS to whether the congress will result
in advancing the purpose for which it
is called, that OF promoting closer COM
mercial relations between American
countries, appears, however, to be pro-
blematical. So far as the press of South
America voices public sentiment there
the evidence is that there is not very
great or general interest felt in
the congress. The newspapers do
not discuss it as a matter which
they consider to be of vital importan ce,
| and there has been some outspoken OPP
| position to it. The ct appears to be
that the people OF South America,
while feeling very friendly to the
United States, are quite capable OF APP
| preciating their commercial advan-
tages, are not disposed to make any al
lance that would not secure them at
least equal benefits and opportunities
with those they now enjoy. They have
very little, if any, cause to complain of
their trade relations with England, 4,
Germany and France, and they
will doubtless decline to abandon
these to any great extent unless they
can plainly see that they are to be the
gamers by doing so. 1t is not clear that
the representatives OF the United
States can give them any assurances
likely to commit them to policy
wholly favorable to this country. New
ertheless the calling of congress tc
consider and discuss the commercial
and political relations of the countries
on the American continents was proper
and commendable. Its deliberations
can hardly fail to be instructive to the
people of the two continents, and il
ought to at least prove step toward
the solution of a very important prob
| lem.

Only few months ago the pros
pectus was issued by Rev. Il. A. Fogel-
strom for the establishment of great
hospital in this city, conducted on
non-sectarian basis, and modelled after
the Philadelphia Mothers House of Dea-
conesses. To-day we publish an
interesting report of the sue
cessful completion of the hos
pital building. coupled with an earn
est appeal for additional aid to assure
the opening of the institution at an
early day. The unselfish and untirlng
devotion which Mr.. Foglestrom has
manifested since the inception OF
this noble charity entities him
to the sympathetic encouragement and
substantial support from men OF means
who desire to contribute towards the
relief of their fellow men. Many of
our wealthiest citizens restrain their
humanitarian impulses and defer all
their good intentions for posterity.
They want to be rem embered by
the future generations for the
wealth they have left to
their relatives rather than by deeds of
benevolence and charity TO this class
all appeals for aid are made in vain.
There are others, however, who prefer
to use the means they have accumu-
lated for the alienation Of distress and
disease, and from such we have reason
to expect generous response for the

Complimenting Baker.
Fdirbury gazette.


The Nebraska delegation in congress have
united on Hon. b. S. Baker of this place,
for the appointment of United States district
attorney for the district of Nebraska, and we
are glad to learn there remains no doubt of
his appointment. He is well lifted for the
place and will reflect credit on those who put
him there.
Mr.. Baker is comparatively young man,
having been born in 1850. AT the age Of
fourteen he commenced the battle of life for
himself, and since then has depended for sue
cess upon his own exertions. He worked his
way through college by teaching and working
during vacations and graduated at the
Iowa state university in 1871, receiving the
degree B. d. He then took charge OF the
school at Mason City in that state, where he
remained year, and after another years
like service at Webster City, he resigned his
position as principal and entered the law de-
partment Of the state university, where he
graduated with thea degree Of LIZ b. in
1874. He Immediately entered upon the
practice of his profession at Webster City
and built up good practice. In 1873 ne To-

sided and where he has by hard work built

ment in the new government, to tho duties OF

BEGINNING WELL,

The superintendent of the next CEN
sus, Mr.. Robert p. Porter, of whose ap-
pointment there has been a great deal
of gratuitous criticism by the newspa-
pers opposed to the administration, has
entered upon the work of organizing
the service under him in way to COM
mand confidence. The census will
give employment to very large force,
and as appointments are not subject to
the provisions of the civil service law,
there was thought to be great oppor-
tunity for the politicians to pay some of
their debts for political services. The
superintendent has been overwhelmed
with applications, but in the limited
number of appointments he has thus
far made his selections have been de-
termined by capacity and titn ess rather
than by the influence applicants were
able to command. Most of the appoint
ments will not be made until next year,
and Mr.. Potter announces that they will
be made with primary regard to quail
tications. Those who had experience
in the last census will have the prefer
ence, and after these such as have
For others he proposes to have an ex-
animation and make appointments
based upon its results.
Mr.. Porter has thus far shown that
he fully appreciates the nature and i'm
portance of the work to be performed,
and SO far as yet appears, there is not
reason to doubt that he will justify his
selection. The altogether absurd idea
advanced by those who have criticised
his appointment, that he might shape
statistics to vindicate his views regard
ing the tariff, he has sufficiently dis
| posed of, and doubtless its authors never
| seriously entertained it. There is
hardly possibility of his falsifying
the statistics, if he should desire to do
SO, and not the least probability that he
could have such desire. The next
census will be less voluminous than the
last, congress having greatly reduced
| the field to be covered, but undoubtedly
| it will be equally trustworthy.

An IMPORTANT MATTER.

Plumbing inspection is one of the
most important departments of the city
government. 1t involves the health
and comfort of the people. The extern
sion of sanitary sewers in all parts of
the city has increased the work of this
department to such an extent that the
force employed is inadequate to meet
the demands. The laws and regula-
tlons are conflicting and insufficient to
protect home builders from the greed
and incOmpetency of plumbers. People
who contract for first-class job OF san
itary plumbing are entitled to prompt
inspection by competent officials. Under
the present regime this is impossible
and the result is that hundreds of
houses do not receive that supervision
which the law contemplates.
The city council should remedy these
defects at once. Plans and specifica-
tions of plumbing should be submitted.
together with the plans of the building,
and should be approved by the plumb
ing inspector, and that official should
be given authority to enforce not only
the rules and regulations which the
council may adopt from time to time,
but also to compel compliance with the
approved plans. The fees for such
work should be reasonable and sufficient
to pay for competent inspection. No
builder will object to the payment Of a
small sum for a thorough examination
OF sewer and water connections, the
| quality of pipe used, the joints, traps
and ventilators. 1t involves no cost to
the city, therefore the city should en-
ploy sufficient force of competent men
to respond promptly to all demands and
| complaints.

THE AMERICAN CONGRESS-.

The congress Of American nations
which will meet in Washington next
October promises to be a success so far
as the representation is concerned. All
the principal countries of South Amer
lea, except Brazil, have accepted the
invitation to be represented in the con-
gress, as have also Mexico and the re-
publics of Central America. Brazil
will probably not be represented, owing
to the uncertainties surrounding the
political situation in that empire. The
emperor, Dom Pedro, cannot live a
great while, and it is appre-
hended that his death may be-
followed by resolution to overthrow
the imperial government and establish
a republic. He would be succeeded by

When SINKS to rest the golden day,
And up the star -gemmed sky
The queen Of night pursues her way
in silent majesty.
When birds have ceased to sing their loves
And flowers have closed their eyes,
And through the arches of the groves
The perfumed zephyrs sighs.
When brightly glows the evening star,
And all around is still,
Save that the note Is heard afar
OF grieving whppoorwill
When stars are mirrored in the stream
And dewdrops gem the grass,
And 'mong the trees with sudden CLEAN,
The fitful fireties pass.
Then lovers fond together meet
Beside the orchard wall,
Ora the rustic garden seat
Where shadows darkly fall.

THE news comes from Hawaii Of the
death Of Rev. Father Damein, the
Roman Catholic priest who had taken
up his abode at Molokai, the island Of
lepers. This heroic man voluntarily
exiled himself, many years ago, to ad-
minister to the physical and spiritual
wants of the outcast lepers of the island
in the Pacific. In this service he con-
tracted the loathesome disease, to which
he has finally succumbed. Rarely has
martyrdom been equalled by the ex-

LATE statistics regarding illiteracy in
Massachutts are not altogether encour-
aging. 1t is shown tina. within the past
ten years the proportion of iliiterates to
population has slightly decreased,
though the aggregate number of per-
sons over ten years OF age in the state
who can neither read nor write is some-
what larger than ton years ago. This
is explained by the large inflow Of
foreigners, but in some sections Of
Massachusetts ill!teracy among those
OF native birth has not materially
decreased. The manufacturing dis
tricts generally do not make a very sat
is'actory showing, the fact evidently
being that public education is greatly
neglected in these localities, for rea-
sens that it would not be difficult TO
iind. Massachusetts, needs reform in
this particular, or she will lose hsr po-
sition as an example to the res. Of tho
