Why are the newspapers of the north
bothering about the utterances of Rosser
Jubal Early' They do not represent the
soutnerners, except such small part as ran
away during the war. Rosser and Early are
old, putrid "reminiscences, and do not repre-
sent anything except dea d and gone ideas.
When Sheridan was after them down the
valley you could not see their coat tails for

1t may be observed that most of the talk
we get from the south that annoys people
loyal to the union, comes from these old
men.
1t is hopeful sign that as rule young
southerners do not talk IN that strain. Let
the old fellows babble.

TAKING TANGIBLE SHAPE.

No better evidence could be desired
of the future Importance of West Far
nam street as a main artery of business
than the proposal of Hon. A. J. Hans
com to subscribe $4,000 toward the
erection of the proposed million-dollar
hotel on that thoroughfare.
Mr.. Hanscom has always been known
as one of the most careful, prudent and
far seeing financiers in the city. He
has never invested his money unless it
was certain to produce a fair income.
When Mr.. Hanscom volunteers to sub
scribe $4,000 toward the erection of q
fire proof million-dollar hotel it shows
that he confidently believes
the investment will pay.
The street on which Mr.. Hanscom pro-
poses to erect the mammoth structure
is that already made noted by dozen
of almost the finest buildings in the
country.
Mr.. Hanscom is able to make good
his offer. In order to put it into effect,
he insists upon two conditions only;
first, that the right men shall take hold
of the enterprise, and, second, that the
scheme shall engender no hard feelings.
If the enterprise should be UNDER
taken, there is little doubt among those
who are already pledged to the scheme,
that nothing would be left undone to
secure only good men to join
in the undertaking. 1t is also believed
that no hard feeling could be aroused
because the future of Omaha, requiring
such an hotel, would silence whatever
objection might be made by those now
directly interested in the same business.
Mr.. Hanscom's offer has been warmly
commended by every citizen who has
heard of 1T, and there is little to be
feared that it will be an incentive to
other capitalists to embark in the great
enterprise.
With a million-dollar hotel on West
Farnam street, the array of mammoth,
beautiful and costly structures on that
thoroughiare might we'll challenge the
admiration of the citizens of the country.

AMERICA AT PARIS.

American pride will be unpleasantly
affected by the statement that the ex-
hibit of the United States at the Paris
exposition is disappointing. There are
features Of it that are unsurpassed, but
as a whole it does not do credit to the
country, and, in the inevitable compari-
sons made, the great re public is not al
ways ahead. Perhaps it was not to be
expected that il would be, but on the
the Industrial interests of the United
States should have made extraordinary
efforts to excel all other countries, or
ut least to make their display
complete with their very best pro.
ductions. 1t WIS an opportunity Of
which the fullest advantage should
have been taken, from D purely practi-
cal and selfish standpoint. Congress
made liberal provision for thorough
exhibit, There was u special incentive
in the character OF the exposition as
commemorative Of the first French re-
public, and there was the certainty that
all Europe would bs represented among
the visitors to Paris. Never has this
country had better chance to nut its
best foot forward in the matter Of show
ing the world what 1t had and what il
can do, and it is matter for regret that
it did not fully improve the chance.
The feature in which the Americas
exhibit is distinctly superior is that OF
machinery, but in the industrial sec
tions the English are FAR ahead OF us.
This is explained, though the exnlana-
tion is not altogether satisfactory, by
