quarter OF century, during which
time IL is estimated we have paid to the
southern countries in the settlement Of
balances sum greater than the prin-
cipal OF the public debt at the close Of
the war, and additions continue to be
made to the enormous total at the rate
OF one hundred and ten million dollars
year.
These figures impressivcly show the
necessity OF an earnest effort on the part
of the United States to improve its ex-
port trade with the Spanish-Americau
countries, and they indicate the great
Importance OF the three Americas con-
gress, called TO discuss methods for bring
ing all these countries into closer
commercial relations and especi-
ally TO improve and enlarge their trade
intercourse with the United States.
There are some obstacles in the way OF
accomplishing this which may not
be easily overcome, but which will not
prove to be msurmountable If APP
preached in the right spirit. The for
eign delegates leave no doubt in their
public expressions OF desire to culti-
vate more intimate aud extended trade
relations with this country, and the re-
suit, it appears likely, will depend
largely upon ourselves.

ON THE BROAD GAUGE.

OMAHA. Oct. 4-To the Editor OF The
BEE: Every thinking person who owns
property or does business IN Omaha must ad-
mire your defense of the interests of the peO-
pie against iobbery by city and county ofi-
cials and the greed of the railway corpora
tions. ] believe the so.called union depot
should be built, and shall vote for the Tenth
street viaduct, but while the city of Omaha
will pay for it, why not have one the full
width of the street, and not have an eye-sore
for strangers to view from the union depotl
In that case we would have good street IL
the union depot was not great edi6ce.
The people OF rival cities admit that in less
than ten years Omaha will have population
of three hundred thousand. How about mar
row viadacts thens There may be ten more
railroads running to Omaha IN less than ten
years. Win each new company be allowed
the use of the union depot for reasonable
rental!
l believe 1t is safe to say tho majority of
the people OF Omaha appland the broad
gauge ideas of TIE BEE, and look to 1t to
protect them in matters above alluded to.
Yours truly, L. l..
The viaduct, as planned by the city
engineer, is to be eighty feet wide.
That was the width agreed u pom by the
owners of property abutting on Tenth
street. While VIC should have pre-
ferred to have viaduct built over the
whole width of the street. we consider
eighty feet ample for all the travel and
traffic between the pr opposed union
depot and the heart of the city. Broad
way, in New York, is only eighty feet
| wide, and very few, if any, of the via
ducts in American cities exceed eighty
| feet in width. AS we understand il, ,
the intention is to narrow Tenth street
from jackson over to Pacific street to
eighty feet, and convey to the owners
of adjacent property the ten feet
| frontage between the viaduct and the
! present building line.
Whether all the Iowa railroads and
| all projected roads will avail themselves
OF the Tenth street union depot is prob
lematic. 1t will he manifestly to the
| interest of the union depot company to
| Offer reasonable terms to all the roads
| ii the depot desires to earn any income
| on its investment The only thing we
are not clear about is the toll which
the Union Pacific will exact for cross
ing its bridge. That will depend
largely on the disposition of Union
| Pacific railroad. Under the ordinance
passed by the council, the bridge tolls
are to be fixed by arbitration in case
they are considered excessive by any
road that desires to cross the river. To
insure fair arbitrators, the city should
have the right to name one arbitrator,
the Union Pacific another and the road
seeking II crossing the third.

THE ARMY APPOINTMENTS.

President Harrison has shown rare
Judgment in the selection of Lieuten-
ants Theodore E. True and John M,
Hyde, of the Fourth and Eighth infan-
try respectively, for promotion to the
quartermaster's department. There
will be general feeling OF relief in
army circles at the advancement Of such
old veterans from the line to the staff.
The various rumors which have been
flying around in the press as to General
Harrison's intentions to make such staff
appointments from civil life instead of
from the army had a very disquieting
effect upon the line where the
prospect of promotion to such
vacancies has always heretofore acted
as n spur to good service.
THE BEES special dispatches some
months ago indicated that it would be
the settled policy Of President Har-
rison TO adhere to the line marked out
by his republican predecessors in the
matter Of staff appointments. The Sc
lection of General Alexander of Iowa
was departure to some extent from
| this policy. But in the case of General
Alexander, the president chose an ex-
army officer of admirable record and
| with the best OF personal qualifications.
| In the case of Lieutenants True and
Hyde, however, two lieutcnants who
have served continuously in the army
since the very opening months Of the
war, and are among those heading the
list of first lieutenants, are given q
| promotion which they well deserve,
and are elevated to staff department
with which they have been indirectly
connected for many years.
Lieutenant True was stationed for o
! long time in the department of the
Platte, portion of his service being at
Fort Omaha and the remainder in
hard working officer, favorite in his
regiment and in every way fitted for
the position which he will at once
assume.
Lieutenant Hyde, Of the Eighth in
fantry, is now stationed at Fort Mo
brara as the adjutant of his regi'
ment. He makes the second quarter
master chosen from the Eighth in
fantry within two years, his predeces-

A Commercial Traveller Who Fought
For Copy of The Bee.
VALENTINE, Neb., Oct. 24.-To the Editor
OF The BEE. notice in The BEE state
ment that newsboys and others had been
suppressing The BEE sales along the Union
Pacific railroad lines. This calls TO my mind
that the same trick has been played along
the Elkhorn railroad.
was travelling salesman for an Omaha
house last May, and going from Omaha to
the end of the line at White Wood, and on
the main line TO Casper, The BEE was not
shown or offered at all, and when would
ask for BEE the answer would be "All
gone" But after the newsboy Tor newsmen
some were) had passed all through the train
with the Herald or World, he would 60 back
aud return to me with one copy Of The Bee
only.
Other times they would refuse aud say
they had none at all, but by little cursing
and getting on my ear for BEE, it would
finally come out. l cali to memory one of
these men, but do not know his name. His
run was from Omaha TO Long Pine, and ho
had only one arm. But whether he was on
the road in May or June last, do not remem-
ber. But he played this same trick at that
time or before when he was news agent, for
it was he who got the cursing and guess he
got stung with The BEE.
1 spoke of IL several times to other sales
men and concluded that there was a con-
spiracy to suppress The BEE, But knew
in my own mind that the fighting editor Of
The BEE would lind it out soon. Yours,
KRoNIC KICKER.
p. S.-No need of placing my name TO the
above, but Will make affidavit to same il
wanted.

appears special from Schuyler saying that
young North, one OF the thieves arrested for
horse stealing was son Of Edward North,

never has been but ohe North family IN Col
umbus since the white man took possession
and that this young North is no relative of
that family either near or remote, and the
fact that he claimed TO be the son Of Edward

no such person as Edward North, but in
other parts OF the state where have friends
