LET Ip HALT AT MAHA.

AS now arranged, the tour of the
delegates to the international American
congress will not extend farther west
than Omaha. 1t may be found ex-
pedient, however, to change this ar
rangement in order to satisfy the de-
mands OF farther western points which
desire to entertain the distinguished
visitors. Denver, for example, is dis
posed to antagonize the plan of termin
ating the tour at Omaha, the Republic
an of that city observing that 'to turn
back at Omaha woull give the
visitors the impression that
west of Omaha there is
nothing to be seen," and that paper
calls upon the chamber OF commerce to
protest against the adoption of O pro-
gramme which would ignore Denver.
San Francisco may be expected to put
in demand for recognition, and with
much better claim than the Colorado
capital. while doubtless there are sew
eral other cities which would like to be
honored with visit. But obviously, if
all the time OF the delegates is not to be
consumed in travel there must be a
reasonable limit to their tour, and
it seems to us the proposed
arrangement of the representa-
tive of the state department. is judi
clous. 1t will keep the visitors jour
neying more than month, and the
| country to be traversed will give them
a very thorough impression of both the
| manufacturing and agricultural re-
sources of the United States, which are
| the chief matters of interest to them.
To prolong the tour and delay the
meeting of the congress is not desira-
| BILE, as it is to be presumed the time of
some of the delegates is limited, and
| besides we should wear the visitors out
| by undertaking to show them all the
wonderful things of this great country,
among which the attractions of Denver
are unquestionably to be included. Let
the procession halt in it's westward
march at Omaha.

THE laws against combines and trusts
in the constitutions of the two Dakotas
are said to be the concentrated essence
OF all the best economic philosophy in
the statutes of other states. Trusts are
hit squarely between the eyes. Fran
chises of corporations and associations
are void where the object OF such asso-
Citations is to control the price OF any
commodity or the cost Of exchange or
transportation. Railroads are prohib-
tied from owning parallel or competing
lines, from consolidating their stock,
property or franchises. The legisla-
lures are vested with power to enact
laws regulating and controlling the
rates of charges for the transportation
of passengers and freight by rail and
dispatches by wire. These are excel
lent constitutional provisions but they
may remain dead letter for years. The
question is, will men be elected to the
legislature who will fearlessly enact
laws to enforce the constitutional pro-
visions?

A NEW COMPLICATION.

When congress resumes consideration
OF the subject OF tariff revision it will
be confronted by new complication.
This will be found in the attitude of the
iron manufacturers OF New England.
No circumstance in the economic his
tory of recent years has been more sig
nificant than the movement of these
manufacturers to obtain relief for their
declining and Improbable industries by
the abolition of duties on the raw ma
terial. 1t is an unqualified confess
sion, by men who have hitherto
been among the most uncom-
promising supporters OF protection, that
that policy, as applied to raw materials,
is not only no longer helpful to the iron
interests Of New England, but that If
continued it must result in the complete
destruction OF those interests. The i'm
portance and force of this movement Is
in the fact that it is not confined to a
few manufacturers and to special locali-
ties, but is general. The petition which
will acauaint congress with the require
ments and demands of the iron
Industries Of New England has
received the signatures OF a
large majority OF the manufac-
turers of that section, and there will be
very few of them not represented when
it goes to congress.
The decline OF the iron industries OF
New England has been going on for
several years, and has been rapid since
the application OF the cheaper fuel sup
piled by natural gas to the similar in
dustries Of Pennsylvania, while that
state also en- Joys other advantages. The

lUS9 L STREET.
LINCOLN. August 90.
The first regiment, Knights Of Pythias,
celebrated the anniversary of the uniform
rank of the order today, and the programme
as published in THE BEE this morning was
carried out to the letter. Visitors COM
menced to arrive on tho early morning trans,
and before noon there were delegations in
glittering uniforms from Falls City, Ash
land, Geneva, Fremont, Aurora, Kearney,
ana Omaha. At 10 o'clock the various di-
visions met at Grant Memorial hall and on
ioyed season of instruction from Justus H.
Rathburn, the founder of the order and at
12 IN. enjoyed sumptuous spread. AT $3.50
p. m. the school of instruction was continued.
The various divisions of the regiment met
at the armory at 6:45 and arranged for the
line of march which, following, covered tho
principal streets OF the city. At o'clock
the regiment formed at the corner of Eleventh
and p streets for dress parade. This was a
very pretty sight and was witnessed by a
large number of people. At its conclusion
the regiment and reception committee es-
corted Mr.. Rathburn, the speaker of the
evening, to Funke's opera house, where he
delivered a most entertaining and Instructive
address. He carefully traced the history of
the order from its birth to the present day.
The speakers version of the story of Damon
and Pythias was one of the most striking
features Of his lecture. IL was original,
pretty and interesting. His splendid audi
ence was thoroughly pleased with his effort.
He closed with a recital OF what Is termed
the Pythian creed. After the lecture re-
cepton was rendered Mr. Rathburn at the
armory, and here the large assembage was
wholly fraternal.

ANOTHER SQUARR PEG.

The board of education has again
managed to insert a square peg into a
rouad hole. They have elected Lee
Estelle to act as the boards attorney
for the coming year at a salary OF five
hundred dollars. Mr.. Estelle Is fair
police court lawyer. He may even be
above the average in conducting Grim
inal case in the district court. But
when 1t comes TO the very questions
upon which the board needs advice
Mr.. Estelie is not known to have any
experience above the average OF law
students. The questions involved in the
legality OF bond propositions and the in
tricate constitutional problems with
which the attorney Of the board has to
deal are beyond Mr.. Estelle's depth.

Prof. W. r. Black, of Chicago, one of the

cago from Lincoln, where the Christian con.
gregation has just dedicated a beautiful
church home, and Pastor Martin, of the
First church, induced him TO stop over night
and deliver an address. Mr.. Blacks career
has been marked by an unoroken series OF
successes. At thirty-fiye he occupied the
highest position within the gift of the church
pastor OF the First church in Indianapolis
and President of Butler university. AT fifty
he is not confined TO any one charge, but be-
longs to the Christian cause all over the

The jute trust which defied congress
TO limit its powers, and was bent on
squeezing the southern cotton planter
for all he was worth, is not likely to re-
peat its tyranny again. The south is
wrought up to high pitch of indigna-
tion against the bagging trust, and the
southern planters have taken vigorous
measures to protect their interests In
the future. Laws have been enacted
In many OF the southern states for the
purpose OF checking the exactions, and
it is highly probable that the attention
OF congress will be directed to the evil.
The congressional committee appointed
to investigate the operations OF the
jute trust would fail in its duty If 1t did
not report the underhand methods
adopted to corner tho jute market.
