GREAT MEN.

Sir Morell Mackenzie has greatly regained
his health at Madeira.
Buffalo Bill and bis horse appear to 30 far
in Paris toward replacing the departed
Boulanger and his black charger.
Secretary Window enjoys the reputation
at Washington of being the busiest man in
the cabinet. He works hard night and day,
and indulges in no known recreation.
Henri Rochefort is much cut up by the sui
eide of bis eldest son.. He was very fond Of
the boy, and father and son were much like
brothers. Rochefort married the boys
mother on her death-bed.
The popular impression of Mr. Parnell,
that he IS cold blooded and phlegmatic, is
said by one of his parliamentary colleagues
to be incorrect; he really is highly nervous
and excitable, but has the great gift of abso-
lutte self control.
President Harrison devotes about an hour
day to newspapers. He reads the editorial
comments cut out for him by Elijah Halford
spends few moments on the telegraphic
news, and always looks over the baseball
scores.
Secretary Blaine will, it is thought, take a
long vacation during July and August by his
physicians orders and by his own desire as
well. He owns fine house at Bar Harbor,
and there the family may 60. Miss Hattie
Blaine finishes her education next month.
Autograph hunters will do well to let DR..
Hans Won Buelow alone. He has engaged q
clever young Russian to write replies TO such
bores for HIM, and she does SO IN Russian,
generally with a touch of satire, as, ''Hans
Won Buelow, commercial lrayeier in Bee
thoven."
Senator Quay declares that he has had no
rupture with the president, though he was
glad to have the impression go out that he
was asking no favors at the white house, AZ
only in that way could he secure relief from
the army of otficeseekers who besieged him
night and day.
John S. Wise predicts that President Har-
rison's recognition of ex-senator Malone
will make Virginia democratic by a majority
of sc, 900. He adds: Harrison is disgusted
with the Virginia republican situation. and
told me he wished We We're all in the middle
Of the ocean, or words to that effect"
Archbishop Corrgan IS said 70 be one OF
the best amateur pedestrians in New York.
He never uses a carriage except in pad

specimen of manhood aud, in addition to
presiding over the largest Catholic see In

United States.

THE now ordinanee Regulating plumb

THE now ordinance regulating plumb
ing in Omaha is based on wrong prin-
ciple. Like the building ordinance, it
imposes an unjust tax on improvement.
The more money q man invests in q
building, the more is he taxed by the
city. Instead OF encouraging building
enterprise by maximum fee, the city
meets the builder at the threshold Of in
veStment and exacts per cent OF the
cost. This is all wrong. 1t forces
builders 70 underestimate the cost, and
makes the official statistics an unrelia-
bio record OF tho city's growth. The
law Is = premium on falsehood instead OF
= premium on enterprise.

"NO MANS LAND.n

Mr.. Ed. A. Fry, of Niobrara. Neb.,
writes to THE BEE as follows regarding
the strip of territory north of the Mo
brara river, which is to become a part
OF Nebraska upon the extinguishment
of the Indian title:
Attorney General Leese and TuR BEE do
not yet catch the real meaning of the claim
that the strip of country to become part of
Nebraska, forming the northern boundry of
the state from the Keya Paha east, will be
mo Mans Land" There is no question as
to the present jurisdiction of the federal
courts of Dakota territory. But as the two
new states will come into the union during
the next fall, and the Sioux commission will
not have completed their work by that time,
what will become of that strip of country
south of the forty-third parallel 1t will not
then be in Dakota, ana Nebraska can not ac-
cept it until the president issues his procla-
nation; and it seems as if he would have the
right TO do that at any time the Indians select
their lands.
The territory in question was ceded
to Nebraska by act of congress in 1882,
and the state gave its assent, or virtual
eptance, in the same year. The juris-
tended over the territory, however,
until the extinguishment of the Indian
title. We take it that as soon as this
result is attained, as provided for, the
strip of country referred to will at
once become subject to the jurisdiction
of Nebraska. Our correspondent is
doubtless right in the view that
ha nnl-
before the Sioux commission shall
have successfully completed its work
and the president proclaimed the result,
the territory ceded to Nebraska
would be ''No Mans Land" but what
reason has he for assuming that the
work Of the commission will not be COM
pleted before the admission of the new
states? If the outlook is not far less
favorable than has been represented,
and the Indian Defense association is
not allowed to become too officiously
meddlesome, the commission ought to
bring its iabors to successful conclu-
son within ninety days at most, or
say by the end of August. 1t
would require but short time
20 verify the result to the president,
who would doubtless issue the required
proclamation very soon after receiving
the result. Certainly if the negotia-
ticns are successful there will be great
pressure on the president not to delay
proclaiming the opening of the reserva-
ton. The matter ought to he concluded
one way or the other by the first Of Oc-
tober. While, therefore, there is q
possibility of the strip that is to become
n part of Nebraska being for time mo
Mans Land" the chances are that it
will never be properly 50 designated.

WHERE TROUBLE NAY ARISE.


Official circles in Washington are
represented to have been good deal
stirred up by the intelligence that the
British government had sent two ships
OF war to cruise in Behring sea. Some
time ago he president issued procla-
matrxn. pursuant to an act of congress
passed two days before the close OF the
last session, warning all unauthorized
persons against entering Behring sea,
within the dominion of the United
States, for the purpose of taking fur seal
or salmon. This action was regarded
with great deal of .disfavor by the
Canadian government, and as a number
of Canadian vessels were then fitted out
for seal fishing in the waters covered
by the proclamation it is safe to assume
that an appeal was made to the imper-
ial government to dispatch war ships
for their projection. AT any rate the
sending of such vessels to cruise in Beh-
ring sea is very plain notification to
the United States that the claim to con-
troll those waters is to be contested.
The administration will undoubt-
edly adhere firmly to the posi-
tion it has taken, and it is an
nounced that besides the two
revenue cutters already in Alaskan
waters, three vessels of war have been
ordered there. II is'the opinion OF the
president and secretary of state that
the United States has exclusive do.
minion over all that portion of the Pa
cific ocean known as Behring sea, ex-
oepting such as lies east OF the treaty
line bordering on the Siberian coast,
and the power OF the government will
be used to the fullest extent in enforc-
ing this view. There will be no toler-
alton Of such depredations in Alas
during the last administration
until the demand for the interposition of
the government became SO strong that
it could no longer be disregarded, and
two or three Canadian vessels Werc
seized.
Undoubtedly the Canadian seal fisher
men, backed by British war ships, will
endeavOr this year to enter the forbid
don waters, in which event there will
certainly be trouble. This would bring
the issue squarely to the consideration
OF the two governments and lead to
con vention for the permanent settlement
Of the rights Of the United States
in Alaskan waters. Meanwhile this
government will not recede to the
slightest extent, II the views enter
tanned by the president and secretary OF
state are correctly reported, from the
position announced in the presidents
proclamation OF last March.

THE reaction in Wall street from the

THE reaction in Wall street from the
long period of depression in stocks has
caused considerable surprise in specu-
lative circles. There is apparently a
strong bullish feeling in the stock mar
ket, which affects nearly all kinds of
railroad securities. The increased
railroad earnings for April and May
are undoubtedly the cause of this unex-
pected buoyancy. If Wall street re-
fleets the business situation of the coun-
try, it would indicate that June will
open with quickened pulse and conf
dence all along the line.

THERE is too much trifling with
bogus paving contractors. The board
Of public works should compel the low
est bidders to furnish bonds and begin
operations promptly. Upon failure to
do this the board should exercise its
power to reject the tender and award
the contract to the lowest responsible
bidder. The delay in beginning paving
operations is a needless hardship on
wOrkingmen.
