TIE SUMMER


The summer camp OF the Department
Of the Platte, which is about to open at
Camp George Crook on the Fort Robin
son reservation, marks the inaugura-
ton of annual field maneuvres in the
United States. II is true that there
have been before this year small gath
erings OF regulars, but those now as
sembling at Fort Robinson and Fort
Riley are the first which can be digni-
fed by the name of encampment. 1t is
significant OF the skeleton condition OF
the regular army OF tho United
States that the assembling OF
such a small body OF men
is worthy OF serious comment. In the
autumn mannuvres OF the German and
French armies the small encampment
at Fort Robinson would be swallowed up
in the immense mass of troops of all
branches which annually congregate
for field practice. The. encampment OF
| the Department OF the Platte, however,
comprises more than oue-ninth OF the
| regular army available for duty. While
on paper the army Of the United States
is carried at $4,000 men, there
is rarely a time when more
than 10000 of that number are
available for service IN the field. The
recruiting stations find it difficult,
under the rigid regulations adopted, to
| keep the companies and troops up to
the required strength, while the officers
and men detailed for duty still further
reduce the number. The greater pro-
portion Of the artillery Of the service is
stationed at seaside Notifications, and
those in the interior are restricted to a
few light batteries, only one OF
which is at present serving in
| this department. OF the 1900 in
fantry and cavalry more than
~one-seventh will participate in the
| manoeuvres at Camp George Crook.
There is general interest manifested
in army circles over this Inauguration
OF summer practice in camp. The prep
arations made by the war department
to carry out the programme a laid
down have been generous, and there is
ageneral feeling that what is begun this
year in a rather small way will be
carried out on q more extensive
plan in succe eding years. Every other
country has found 1t Of the very great
est Importance to gather together from
time to time the various arms of the
service for practice in the art of war,
such as it is impossible to secure with
small commands, and within the limits
of military garrisons. Both soldiers
and officers are in this way given an
opportunity to become familiar with
the appearance of actual war
fare, to learn the details of
a proper conduct of camp
life, and to acquaint themselves
with the proper tactics to be used when
in the face of the enemy.
Camp George Crook will be the scene
OF many interesting displays OF mimic
warfare, and the gathering is likely to
attract large numbers Of spectators
from other portions of Nebraska, who
will have an opportunity for the first
time to witness a very considerable
body OF the regular army gathered to-
| gether on the tented field and engaged
in the operations incident to their pro-
| faoeiDr

OUR COMMERCIAL RIVAL,

In various ways English enterprise is
making itself strongly felt in the bust
ness affairs of this country. 1t hds been
more or less felt for years, but never
before with such activity and agrees
whether because inve stments here
promise greater profits than in Eng
land, or for the reason that capital is
anxious to avoid the dangers of a great
European war, which many believe to
be imminent, or because there are no
longer enterprises abroad inviting capi-
tai, Englishmen are remarkably Wig
liant and active just now in seeking out
and accepting business chances in the
United States. 1t is estimated that
fully one hundred millions of dollars
have been invested here by English
syndicates within the present year, and
representatives of English capital are
still moving about the country looking
for further investments.
AS an illustration Of the keen scent of
Englishmen for American business, a
New York dispatch announces the
arrival there OF part OF a feet
Of steamers coming over to
enter the West India trade. 1t
appears that the New York agents OF
the owners Of these steamers notified
them Of a brisk state Of trade between
that city and West India ports, aud as
% as the information was received
the steamers set sail. Others will fol-
low, and as most of these vessels are of
immense carrying capacity, and will
undoubtedly accept very low rates, they
will probably get all the business they
can do. This means a great deal Of
money out Of the pockets OF American
ship owners, VINO have not the class of
vessels, either as to carrying capacity
or speed, to compete with the English
steamers. Our vessel owners may groan
but they can not prevent a large part OF
this West India trade being carried
by foreigners.
There is promise OF a strong pressure
upon the next congress for Legislation

10 BLAME.

Every time that a mangled corpse is
found on a railroad track in Douglas
county, the coroner's jury invariably
renders a verdict, Nobody to Blame"
II a driver of a street car runs over a
child the %coroner's jury always discov-
er 5 that nobody is to blame.
Why this is thus is by no means a
mystery. Our cOroner's juries are
nearly all made up of the same old
crowd. There is always much haste
about the inquest, and a peculiar dis
position to throw the blame OF the &C
cident upon the corpse.
For years this has been the rule
and not the exception. The big
corporations must not be offended.

What the attendance will be, however, Is
only q matter of conjecture. IL Ia learned
that third party prohlps give IL out distinctly
that they wash their hands of tho whole ar
rangemeut, They will have nothing what
ever to do with IL. Tho talk regarding IL on
the streets to-day has been TO the effect that
leaders of the intended organization propose

the county convention. II Is tax on that this

representation, to tue republican state con-
v%ontions, to insure the passage OF resolutions,
or a plank in the platform, endorsing the act
of the late legislature for possible constitu-
tional prohibition. IL Is understood, fur
Their, that the organization of these auxilia-
ries Is TO be pushed in every county in the
state for the same purpose.

JEFF DAVIS once more attracts noto-
riety. He has brought suit against the
publishers OF ''The Rise and Fall of the
Southern Confederacy," which, from a
financial standpoint, has beer q COM
plete failure. At the time of its publi-
cation some years ago it was expected
that the work would be valuable by
presenting the history OF the lost cause
nationally from a southern point Of
view. This expectation, however, has
been sadly disappointed. AS a conse-
quence the history has fallen fiat and
has been a drug on the book market. A
respectful, honest presentation of the
merits of the wal from confederate SOL
diers OF ex-presidents would be given a
fair and full hearing by the whole coun-
try, both north and south. But Jeffer-
o Davis book mas commended itself
10 nobody as a historical chronicle,
owing to its intense sectional spirit, its
%impenitent and virulent character, its
rancor and fury, which distort truth
and justice. For that reason the book
has been a dismal failure, and il read at
all will be a clear reflection Of the hot
headed man whose leadership brought
ruin and disgrace.

LAST year the agricultural bureau
valued the crops alone of Nebraska at
fifty million dollars. This year their
value at the lowest calculation cannot
fall short of that amount. In the ma
ture OF business transactions a large
share OF this newly-produced wealth in
some form or other will percolate
through the various channels of trade
in this city and induce renewed con-
fidence in the future of Omaha and in
the greatness of the state of Nebraska.

1T appears that the electricians are
warmly opposed to having their science
associated with capital punishment. AT
the convention just held Mt Niagara
Falls addresses we're delivered in which
the proposed employment OF electricity
in New York for inlicting the death
penalty on several murderers now under
sentence was roundly condemned. One
OF the speakers, Mr.. Wyman, of Boston,
maintained that no one can tell how
much electricity is fatal in a given case,
and said the attempt to put a man to
death by electricity would be cruel. An
other electrician, DR.. Moses, of New
York, declared that killing by cleo
tricity. instead of furnishing a painless
death, was q most dreadful punishment.
The convention appointed a committee
to wait on the g~overnorand endeavor to
obtain from him a reprieve of the pris-
oners under condemnation until the leg
islature has time to repeal the act maxi
ing electricity the death agent. The
difference of opinions among scientific
men in this matter, and the popular
sentiment that has been aroused by the
press in opposition to the use OF cleo
tricity in lnflicting the death penalty,
may result in prolonging the life Of the
condemned men and in inducing the
legislature to return to the gallows as
the agent of death. Such a result
would doubtless terminate for an indef-
mite time efforts to substitute electricity
for the rope.

NEW ENGLAND is looking on with

NEW ENGLAND is looking on with
alarm at the steady growth Of cotton
mills in the south since 1880. Their
amber has increased fully one hum
dred per cent, while the number Of
spindles has mora than trebled, the
tendency being to build mills Of greater
capacity than formerly. This GER
tainly indicates that the south has
solved for itself the question of cotton
manufacture 30 far as the making Of
the coarscr cotton goods are concerned.
There has, in fact, been an overproduc-
tion of this kind OF material and an
effort is on foot to diversity that indus
try by making the finer grades Of goods.
Should this be accomplished, the SUI
premacy of New England's cotton indus
try would Re seriously imperiled and Its
market would be considerably curtailed.

The increasing frequency Of accidents BY

the business Of accident insurance to a
