Oer their boundary line, the ciamor grew

With the tools of a stray engineer
But the devil he said, with a quzzical smile
That 1t couldn't be right, 1t was Clear

While the devil took downward his flight.

While far out, behind. were stretched out In

And sadly he sighed To his smiling old foe,

LIGHT ON A DARK SCHEME.

The people of Omaha cannot be de-
ceived by the tricllerv of the council on
the competitive electric light ordinance.
Delays and references are simply a
transparent cloak to cover the purpose
OF the majority to prevent competiti on
in one OF the important modern elements
OF industry and convenience.
The original ordinance was prepared
by the city attorney, and ample safe
guards inserted to protect the rights Of
the city. The council refused to act
until the managers of the present
monopoly were consulted Why
should the council, If honestly
desirous OF encouraging local industry,
consult the wishes of those vitality inter-
ested in preventing competition in elec-
trio light and power? The tricksters
pretended that the rights of the city
were not sufficiently guarded and that it
was necessary to carefully weigh every
word and sentence before action
How was this weighing Of words and
phrases done? The report of the city
attorney returning the ordinance to the
council shows that the schemers pur-
posely mutilated its provisions. Every
proviso reserving to the city the power
to buy the plant, TO prevent con.
solidation or transfer. and to alter,
amend or repeal, were stricken
out, and n clause inserted by
which consolidation or transfer might
be made at any time, with the consent
of the council" In other words, the
council sought to make itself the
connecting link in scandalous deal.
The obvious intent OF these altera-
tions was to more firmly entrench the
present monopoly, to grant charter
which virtually tied the hand of the
council and prevented alteration, amend
ment or repeal. Such charter would
be invaluable to the present company,
and with a council, favorable to its in
terests, the document would readily fall
into its hands. j5s
The electric light issue is too impor-
tant to be lodged or trihed with The
patrons of electric light as we'll as scores
OF small industries which employ elec-
trio power, are lentitled to whatever
benefits may result from comp stition.
But the people will not sanction the
granting of a charter which purposely
robs the public of the right to purchase
the plant, or to alter, amend or repeal
the contract whenever the public inter-
est demand it.

BOGUS RELIEF AGENTS.

Rev. Mr.. Scotthorn, whose opera
tons as relief disburser in Dundy
county have reached the proportions Of
scandal, is energetically working the
charitable people in the east. The New
York ECening Post contains letter from
Kendall T. Scotthorn, which contains
the following suggestive paragraph

week. Yesterday 500 worth of -four was
distributed, and then l had to turn away
moro than sixty persons. We need money Mt

shoes or stockings, and had their feet tied up

young men came for aid and neither had on

falcons. Can't you help us' For pitys sake
ask it. IL seems hard to sea people starv-
ing before your eyes, asking only for bread
The Post explains that Scotthorn is
endorsed by the American Sunday
School union ''as n person whose state
ments are entirely trustwo rthy." The
reputation this reverend IN endicant has
achieved in Nebraska does not tally with
his standing in New York. The state
relief commission, composed of leading
citizens, reports that the money re-
ceivcd by Scotthorn has not been dis
bursed among the people in need. In
every instance where drafts or regis.
tered letters were cashed for Mr.. Scott
horn by the banks, small bills were
rendered, so that the money might be
readily disbursed, but the rev.
ereud relief dispenser demand ed
larger denominations, and so far as the
public is aware the money has been ap-
piled to the relief OF Mr.. Scotthorn only.
This explains why Scotthorn appeals so
piteously ''for more money" -
This species of aims soliciting should
be promptly stopped. The appeals of
irresponsible parties for outside help
are II disgrace to the state. Nebraska
has appropriated 100000 for the relief
OF the drouth sufferers, and necessaries
are now going forward with all possible
speed. Previous to this appropriation,
over $40, 900 worth of food, clothing and
fuel had been contributed by citizens of
Nebraska. Provision is also be-
ing made for county help, and
an additional appropriation of 100000
is pending in the legislature. 1t will be
seen that Nebraska has been prompt and
liberal in meeting the wants of the
drouth sufferers. The reports of dis
tress, however, have been magnifed by
parties who have seized upon misfortune
to feather their own nests.

TIE acceptance of u site for a theolo.
gical seminary near Omaha reflects
credit on the wisdom of the Presbyter-
ians. The practice in vogue among other
denominations OF building educational in
stitutions in localities Offering the best in
ducements in land or cash, has not in
frequently resulted in positive damage.
Tenders Of liberal bonuses, while tenn
porarily beneficial, are of little conse-
quence unless the surrou ndings afford a
permanent source of support. The geo.
graphical location OF Omaha, its health
full surroundings and its marvellous
growth in population, insure an amount
OF local patronage that will go far tow
ard placing the seminary on IA successful
foundation from the start. Seymour
park is unequalled as site for semin-
airy, and the generosity OF the donor
we'll deserved the unanimity with which
the offer was accepted.

The department of publicity and pro-
motion of the worlds Columbian expo
sition reports that bills have been in
troduced in twenty-six state legislatures
providing appropriations for exhibits.
The aggregate amount proposed to be
appropriated by these measures is lit
tie over $4,O00,00O Nebraska figuring in
the list at Sl50,O0D. A number of the
states contemplate smaller amounts than
this, and it is torbe remarked of some
such that they areonot showing as ill.,
eral spirit as they can afford to. The
wealthy easterrI, states are especially
weak in thisap respect, the fact
being that in proportion to popu-
lation and resources most of the
states of thej west show a
far more generous disposition than those
OF other sections. 1T would seem to be a
fair Inference that the eastern legisla-
lures take neithers a wisely practical
nor patriotic view of the exposition
and it is quite possible that they are not
wholly free from sectional prejudice At
any rate the eastern states are not pro-
posing to do as we'll as was expected,
and there Is consequently all the more
reason why the western states should
be as liberal in providing for their ex-
hibits as they can afford to be. But one
state, Arkansas, has thus far declined
to make any appropriation.

GALVESTON PILGRIMS RETURN.

The special committee appointed from
| the legislature to- attend the Trans
Mississippi commercial congress at Gal
weston has submitted ? somewhat elabor-
| ato report Of its adventures.
The crcdulous reader would be led to
expect that extraordinary prosperity is
| about to be scattered broadcast in
Nebraska and that the commerce
OF the world is about to enter
at the port of Galveston, while
New York, Boston, Baltimore
and Philadelphia fall into helpless decay.
The more probable result of the excur-
sion, however, is that Nebraska has
been shrewdly attached as the tail TO q
Texas boom, and that while Galveston
has received large amount of valuable
advertising, Nebraska gets In return
only the Is barrels of oysters consigned
to the members OF the legislature.
This Is not the first time that this por.
tion OF the west has been used to pound
the tom-tom in the interest of Galveston
real estate. About twelve years ago, when
railroad communication with the ambi-
tious port on the gulf was first estab-
lished, train load of representative
Omaha men went to Galveston to cele-
brate what they were informed was the
opening of a grand interstate and inter-
national traffic. The result was a con-
spicuous advertisement for Texas and
her sea port, which carried away some
OF our citizens and capital, but brought
nothing to Omaha and Nebraska by way
of exchange. But what does it profit,
the great state of Nebraska, which has
need of capital and population for her
own development?
The dream OF Il great international
seaport on the gulf is a castle in Spain.
So far as Nebraska traffic is concerned
it is unnatural and unlikely. Commerce
and travel run east and west, not north
and south. The products of Nebraska
must go to markets where advantageous
exchanges can be made. The south has
little or nothing to send west for return
cargoes. Even sugar will soon be going
from the west to the south, rather than
from the south to the west. If a longer
water route to Europe and the east
is desired it will be found by the way of
Duluth or Chicago and the great lakes.
If cheap route TO the south is wanted
it will be found by tho way of the Henne-
pin canal and the Mississippi river,
rather than over Jay Gould's railway
lines. IL is almost inconceivable that
the merchants of the west will ever go
to Texas to buy the goods they now OBJ
tain from the vast markets in Boston,
Philadelphia, New York and Chicago
Until they do so there can be no recip-
rocal commerce between Nebraska and
Texas.
These facts should not deter Calves.
ton from shrewdly continuing hor pres
ent methods of attracting attention to
herself 1t is a good thing from her
standpoint. Nebraska farmers and busi-
ness men have been led to move to the
Lone Star state rs a result.
But what does Nebraska get for her
contribution to the boomp Does she get
anything but them oysters, -" as Speaker
Elder would say?

A RECENT letter from President Har-
rison to civil service reform association
at Cambridge, Mass, which had ap-
pealed to him to extend the reform to
the Indian service, is interesting for the
high official statement that the per-
sonnel of the service is better than ever
before The president also informed the
association that the subject of including
Indian agency clerks and employees in
the classified service had been under
consideration before any appeal had
been made on the subject, and it is to be
presumed it is still being considered.
There is reason to expect a favor
able conclusion. The commissioner
OF Indian affairs is strongly
in favor of applying civil service
rules in the appointment of all sub
ordinates in the Indian service, and
it is presumed that tho president and
the secretary of the interior are in ac-
cord with this view The difficultie in
the way are rather more serious than in
any other branch OF the public service,
but undoubtedly these can be overcome,
and when they are and all political in
tluence in connection with the Indian
service is removed it is reasonably ex-
pected that the service will become
more efficient. Meantime the friends of
reform are warranted by the assurances
OF the president in possessing their souls
