TRIBUTES TO ENTERPRISE.
Mr.. Rosewa,er's Celebration.


Yesterdays issue of the Omaha DAILY BEE
contained sixteen pages, of which one-half
was principally devoted to the story of MIR.
Rosewater's newspaper, from the day of its
first insignificant issue in a poor wooden
building to the day of it's dedication of the
magnificent brown stone pile which crowns
the highest hill in the business section of
Omaha. At one end of the story stands the
hand press turned by a negro, and at the
other the splendid Web perfecting press
which throws out ten thousand newspapers
every hour. The history of THE BEE, with
all its trials and all its triumphs, is presented
in the columns of yesterdays issue. The
campaigns for the public good which have
enlisted its energies for eighteen years are
related with just pride. The gradual steps
By which the paper has passed successfully
from one building to another, each new Office
marking an advance IN It's prosperity, are
amply and pleasantly detailed. The history
of Omaha aud its business men are treated of
in their relation to the development of The
BEE. The new building is illustrated and
described, and, as the crowning feature of
the eighteenth anniversary of the founding
of the newspaper, the finest office in the west,
and one of the finest in the United States,
was thrown opent to the public with appro-
pirate ceremonies.
This was Mr.. Rosewater's celebration, and
it was very fitting complete aud creditable
in every respect.
There is no one to deny that the OMAHA
DAILY BEE, Of which Edward Rosewater
was the founder and managing spirit, has
been commercial success 1t has made its
owner rich and'eEabed him to erect build
ing which will perpetuate his name and
career long after he has himself passed out
of the affairs of men. And it happens that
no newspaper can become permanent COM
mercial success without becoming at the
same time great power with the people in
politics, business and society The BEE
has also enjoyed this success. 1t is
read all over the west, and in Omaha and
Nebraska its lead over all other newspapers
is overwhelming 1t has rivals, but up to
this eighteenth anniversary of it's founding
THE BEE has practically no competitors. 1t
controls the business of it's field without diff
fculty.
Many reasons have been given for the
success of The BEE. Some of them are like
those with which General Grants enemies
accounted for his success, but disinterested
| people, in The BEES case as in Grants,
conclude that it has succeeded because of
superior qualities. The Enterprise criticised
the policy of THE BEE in relation to the To-
cation of government buildings, and has
| said that it was putting selfish interest be-
| fore public good, but, in this day when 1t COM
memorates it's eighteenth birth day by the
| dedication of it's splendid structure. We are
| glad to admit that it is able to indulge in this
| luxurious celebration, because it is the
| greatest and strongest paper between the
| Mississippi river and the Rocky mountains
We tender our warmest congratulations to
| MIR. Rosewater, who is THE BEE.

THE OMAHA BEEis great newspaper, and
has helped to make Nebraska and Omaha
known to the world of business. Begun in
~ as an advertising sheet for gratuitous
distribution, it now stands unexcelled by any
paper in the United States west of Chicago,
for all that makes daily newspaper valu-
able, The new building Is a very fitting hive
for the BEES that will continue to buzz for
years TO comet Edward Rosewater, under
whose management the paper has been from
the start, is well known as hard fighter,
but he is also one of the most industrious of
men, capable of hard work eighteen hours
out of twenty-four for a stretch of time, and
is thoroughly well equipped for the line of
journalism which he marked out for himself
and has thus far pursued. The grand build
ing now occupied by THE BEE shows that
while the singer may have been active occa-
sionally against real or supposed enemies,
the honey-pouch has been actively in demand
all the time

MEXI co has at last accepted the invi
tation to participate in the congress of
the three Americas, to assemble in
Washington in October. Her delay
appears to have been due to the fact
that there was some informality in
transmitting the invitation, and
when this was corrected there was
prompt acceptance. The truth is
that until recently neither the govern
ment nor people of Mexico manifested
the slightest interest in the congress,
but there is considerable depression in
the country, due to the depreciation of
silver, and now Mexicans are hoping
that the congress may be able to pro-
pose something that would tend to give
increased value to silver. Mexico's ac-
ceptance completes, we believe, the list
of American countries invited to par
ticipate IN the congress, with the ex-
ception of Brazil, which will not be
represented.

A Lasting Monument.


If any man on earth has, reason to be proud
and to remain proud that man is Hon. e.
Rosewater editor and proprietor of the
OMAHA BEE To-day his magnificent build
ing-costlng over four hundred thousand
dollars-is opened to the public. THE BEE
building is one of the finest newspaper build
ngs in America. And THE BEE Is one of
the leading journals Of the west. 1t is rich
and influential. And all this within twenty
years The history of The BEE during
twenty years is interesting and it's achieve
ments are gratifying to all men who love to
see labor rewarded. In it's early days, so
the story runs, it was poor and wavered for
several years on the very ragged edge of
collapse. Rosewater gave it his undivided
attention. He would borrow money and
blow it in THE BEE for news. He has been
abused and maligned and villiied by scores
of papers; has been assaulted by rowdies
employed to kill him. And up there at the
head of Farnam street stands to-day a
stately pile of stone in architectural beauty
"a monument that will stand as long as
time. The Call llcongratulates Mr.. Rose
water. HLsi
