Ever Stop to Think
How much very little. change may do to
make your home cheerful and beautiful? 1t
is well worth some study. Take for in
stance the old familiar pictures. How
much can be done to beautify them by Just
changing their old faded and stained mats
by nice new ones. These can be secured
at Quimby's Art Rooms at a trifiing
cost and will do wonders in
Frightening up the home. If you feel
disposed to do more, and make your annual
house cleaning as complete As possible why
not have fewof the old dingy dust -grimmed
frames replaced with new onesp This
need not be expensive. Some very beauti-
full and dainty frames can now be made
from the many artistic mouldings that now
come in the low priced grades. The art of
moulding manufacture has progressed won
derfully in recent years and among the va
riety of late styles that may be seen at
Quimby's art rOOms--the largest assortment
ever carried in the Kennebec VaIley--are
beautiful mouldings which can be made up
at wonderfully low prices, and ut the same
time make handsome and stylish frames.
Dont go elsewhere to have pictures framed
until you see his mouldings and get his
prices. Perhaps you think of having new
frame for family portrait. The fiashy frame
that you bought from glib-tongned agent,
and thought was such splendid bargain,
has begun to show its real quality. Its
joints are sprung, it looks old and warped
and dingy, and you feel that 1t was poor
economy ever to have invested in such
fraud. At Quimby's art rooms the
came amount of money will buy you
beautiful portrait frame that will not fade,
or warp, or spring at the joints or grow
dingy with wear. They are stylish and in
good taste, and if you take your portrait
out Of its old frame and place it in one of
these you will add much to the attractive
ness Of your home and never have
cause to regret your action. Those who re-
side outside the city should hunt up these
art rooms. Don't think that because you
desire moderate priced frame you cannot
find it there. Mr.. Quimby has a very wide
range of mouldings at varying prices and
can give you tasty frame at any figure you
feel able to pay.

As 10 utLs.

The chief state oil Inspector and his
deputies positively deny that there has
been any negligence on their part in the
inspection Of oils during the present
year and they also assert that there is
not n pint of oil on sale in the state that
will not stand the test required by our
statutes. On this point they challenge
contradiction and they go so far as to
offer q 300 bonus to anybody who will
prove that there has been a fire or dam
aging accident caused anywhere in this
state within the last six months by the
explosion of a coal oil lamp.
This certainly affords an opportunity
to parties who claim to know anything
about accidents caused by explosive oils
to come to the front with particulars.
Insurance companies and their agents
are especially interested in this ques-
ton.
So far as THE BEE is concerned
it has no fight to make on the
chief inspector or any of his depu-
ties. In calling attention to the
inferior and dangerous oils that have
been coming into this state we have
no disposition to incite hostility toward
the Standard Oil company or any other
party who deals in oil The tests that
nave beer made for us by competent
chemists were with oils purchased in
Omaha and in other parts of the state
within the past ninety days. We have
in our possession a letter from the Sec
rotary of the Iowa State Board of
Health in which he afirms the charge
that coal oil condemned by that state is
shipped to Nebraska.
1t is possible that the Iowa test for
explosive oils is more rigid than tina
made with the Foster cup in our state,
In that case the law is to blame Int not
the inspectors. In any event Nebraska
should not be made the dumping ground
for dangerous oils that have been re-
jected in. other states. 1t would be
much better for the people of this state
to pay a higher price for oil and be safe
than to have life and property exposed
to the risks of spontaneous explosions
Tor the few cents difference between
first class oils and third grade oils.
In agitating this subject The BEE has
only II object in view, aud that is pub
lie safety and a compliance with thu
laws relating to inspection of illuminat
ing oils. On that score we have NJ
apologies to make.

OPPOSITION no TIE TARIFF BILL.

OPPOSITION 1O THE ARiFF BILL.
A good deal of dissatisfaction with the
Wilson tariff bill has already been man
ifested on the democratic side of the
house and there is every reason to eX-
pect that when the measure comes up
for consideration democratic hostility to
numerous features of it will be devel.
opcd. The constituents of a number of
democrats have petitioned them to OPP
pose changes in the tariff which affect
their interests, and it is safe to say that
in many cases these requests will be
complied with. The representatives of
democratic constituencies will not be
likely to ignore the wishes >of the peo-
pie they represent, however strong he
appeal may be made to them to support
the bill as it has been framed
in the interest of party harmony. Mr..
Cleveland clearly anticipated democratic
opposition to the new tariff policy when
he said In his message that the success
of the Wilson bill can only be attained
by means of unseltish counsel on the
part of the friends of tariff reform and
as a result of their willingness to sub
ordinate personal desires and ambitions
to the general good" but this appeal
will hardly induce democratic congress-
men to risk defeat at the hands of their
constituents by disregarding their
wishes. The democratic members of
the ways and means committee have per.
sistently refused to make any changes
in the bill before it is reported to the
house, which it is expected will be done
this week and whatever changes are
made in the measure will have to be
made by the house. That there will be
numerous changes seems to be regarded
as certain.
The senate finance committee will
enter upon the consideration of the
measure this week, and it is understood
that it proposes to give hearings tC
those interests which are affected by
the bin. In that case the committee
will undoubtedly be afforded the fullest
facilities for ascertaining the views OF
both manufacturers and the labor en-
ployed in manufacturing, and if the
hearings are not merely perfume
tory. as was the case with
those given by the ways anG
means committee, it ought to be entirely
safe to say that the information which
the senate finance committee will ge'
will be very likely to lead it to make
many changes and notifications in the
Wilson bill, at least in the direction o
correcting its numerous incongruitie
and Inconsistencies. The industrial in.
terests of the country appear to b.
thoroughly aroused and determined t.
bring every proper pressure upon con
gress to prevent the passage of the new
tariff bill in its present form. The
promise is that in this they will hav,
the help of u number CT democrati,
representatives.

that Chicago and ST. Louis are their
only rivals, and that with the new rates
grain will DO shipped by Kansas City TO
those points. In other words, they try
TO justify the continuance Of a discrimi-
nation against Omaha on the ground
that it's abolition would affect them UNI
favorably as compared with st. Louis.
This on its face is no argument for the
restoration of the old rates at all.
1t is a matter of indifference to Omaha
merchants just what forces have been at
work to move the Burlington to this
act of justice. The representations OF
the Commercial club probably have had
much TO do with it. On the other hand
railroad men assert that the rates have
been readiusted merely as q business
proposition. The discrimination in favor
of Kansas City, it is said, did not bring
to the Burlington the amount OF business
which it had beer led to expect. 1t is
learning hat discrimination in favor of
one city and against another does not
pay the railroad. Omaha wants no
favors beyond what its Importance as a
commercial and shipping center gives it
a right to demand. If the railroads will
give our merchants fair play without
unjust determinations of any kind they
will be able to hold their own with any
legitimate business within their terri
tory

THOSE SOUTHERN CLAIMS.

It Is evident from the favorable re-
port made by the judiciary committee of
the house on the bill relating to the
settlement of claims against the United
States growing out of the loss of prop
erty by residents of the seeding states
during the rebellion that the present
congress is determined to go as far as
possible in helping southern claimants
to raid the public treasury. This bill
proposes to extend the right of action
on such claims before the court of
claims two years and reopens all cases
which have been adjudicated by
the secretary of the treasury or
barred by the statute of linn
itations. 1t also admits to these
benefits all claimants whose claims
have been adversely determined by the
court on account of d~isloyalty. Hereto
fore people in the south who have filed
claims for damages or loss of property
sustained By the rebellion have had to
prove that they were loyal. The act Of
1863. relating to seizures of property in
the south by the federal military au-
thorities, took care of those who had
been loyal by permitting them, if they
had been the owners Of any such prop
erty, to prove within two years after
the suppression of the rebellion
their claim and the fact that they
had never given aid or comfort
to the rebellion, upon doing which
they were to receive the residue OF
the proceeds of the property sold,
the law authorizing the seizure of
property requiring the proceeds TO be
covered into the treasury. Over $50,
600, 900 thus found its way into the treas.
ury, of which there remains at this rime
about Sll 900, 000.
If the bill reported from the house jul
! dietary committee should become a law
the Sll, 000, 600 in the treasury repre-
senting proceeds of sales of property
taken in the south during the war viii
have to be paid out to claimants o
whose disloyalty to the government a
the time of the seizures there is no doub'
or question. The report of the minority
of the committee says OF these claimants
They we're in fact in arms against the
government from which they now demand
Justice" Considering their number
and influence it will not be denied tina
they did great injury to that govern
ment, its property and Its citizens. 1t /

II SENATE RULES.

1t is understood hat the republicans
of the United States senate will unitedly
and persistently oppose any change in
the rules of the senat with q View to
restricting debate. This does not nec-
e~ssarily mean that all of them are in
favor OF the courtesy" which permits
unlimited debate and allows senators, in
order to maintain debate indefinitely, to
introduce any amount of ~cXtraneOus mat
ter, as has frequently been done. it is
we'll known that some of the republican
senators regard this as a bad practice,
and under different circumstances these
senators would doubtless give their
voice and vote for a change in the rules
that would place a reasonable limit upon
debate and allow action to be reached
upon any question after both sides had
been given a fair hearing.
But the democrats, having unitedly
aud uncompromisingly opposed any such
change in the rules when they
were in the minority, now that they
have control of the senate and desire to
pass certain legislation of a distinctively
partisan character, are willing to re-
strict debate, and in view of the past
attitude of the democrats on this ques-
ton the republicans feel fully war
ranted in assuming a like position and
uncompromisingly maintaining it.
They see 10 reason why they should
make any concession to the democrats
in this matter when under practically
similar circumstances, the democrats
being in the minority, they refused to
allow any change in the rules that
would curtail their right to carry on a
debate indefinitely. The republican ms
simply insist that the democrats shall
be held to the record they have made
on this question and not be given an ad-
vantage they refused to allow their
opponents. Fair-minded men will find
no fault with this decision, and if it is
firmly adhered to there will be no
change in the rules of the senate affect.
ing debate during the present congress.
The time must come, however, when
both parties in the senate will be com
PEELED by public opinion to abandon the
practice which is c~omprehended in the
Ueth ocha''il"i coutVeoS' anu Shapc
the rules of that body so that the will of
the majority cannot be defeated through
interminable debate. The defenders of
this practice, it will be admitted, make
out a rather plausible case, but they dc
not dispose of the proposition that much
of what is lone in the name of sena
torial courtesy is essentially unameri
can and unrepublican, and the fact tn a.
it has prevailed from the beginning o.
the government is not a sufficient reason
for continuing it. There can be nj
doubt that tho popular sentiment of the
country is against it, and this will il
the course of time be SO vigorously ex
pressed that the senate Will be com
PEELED to heed it.

THE Burlington Voluntary Relief
department keeps bobbing up in
court as a cunning device by
which the railroad seeks to es-
cape liability for damages caused by
accidents to its employees while engaged
in serving the company. The latest
case appealed to the state supreme court
in which the department figures once
more illustrates the methods bv which
the scheme is operated. When the rail
road company is sued it sets up the
membership in the relief department as
a surrender of all rights against it. Hav-
ing defeated the plaintiff by this plea
the relief department turns around and
refuses to settle the insurance for which
the employee has paid, alleging that by
beginning suit against the railroad COM
pany he has violated one of the rules
and regulations and forfeited all rightto
assistance of any kind. 1t is battledore
and shuttlecock from the railroad com
pany to the relief department., and
when the injured or MANNED employe
regains his consciousness he finds him
self excluded from both and without re-
dress. The relief department is prov
ing one of the best paying investments
of the company.

THE questions to be discussed at the
irrigation convention at North Platte
next week are among the most impor-
tant problems before the people bear
ing on the future of farming in Ne
braska. If irrigation can give the state
a large increase in the number of tilla-
BILE acres available for agriculture the
result will be the same as would be
the discovery of entirely new lands.
The desirability o~firrigation is no longer
open to question. 1t is now the most
economical way and means that must be
found and the coming convention may
be expected to throw considerable light
upon this aspect of the subject.

colo In Colorado.
Denrer RepMbIicnn.

The increase in tho production Of gold in
Colorado is amazing even to those most IA
miliar with the vast undeveloped gold re.
sources of the state. Az the present rate Of
growth, within three years the annual out
nut of our gold mines will exceed the best
record of the silver mines during the bo-
nanza period, and IL should be remembered,
too, that gold mining Is a much more endur-
ing industry than silver mining. The silver
output of Colorado for the present year will
be much larger than most people imagine,
and we have no doubt that next year the
aggregate OUTPUT ofRold and silver will ex-
coed that of 1892, which beat all previous
records. y--

THE ora n RATE CONTROVERSY

Omaha merchants cannot view the
cqualizing of the rates on grain from
interior Kansas and Nebraska to the
terminal points or the Burlington road
as anything more han a tardy act of
justice. The grain tariff on the Burling-
ton has VIGOROUSLY been one that ia
vored Kansas City dealers at the expense
OF Omaha. The railroad officials for a
long time denied that this was the fact,
and all the efforts of our business mems
organizations to have the abuse rem
edicd had up to this month been made
in vain. Now, when the road has at last
given Partial satisfaction for the injury
done by preceding rate tariffs, the Off
Gals, in unfolding the new order, have
been compelled to acknowledge that
they are only removing n discrimination
operating against Omaha up to this
time.
The position of Kansas City on this
question a be easily appreciated.
Having enjoyed the fruits of an unjust
discrimination in her favor, she is OF
course reluctant to give them up with
out a persistent fight to retain them,
The Kansas City merchants claim thai
they do not fear Omaha or st. Joseph as
competitors in the grain business, but

II Is certainly a relic of barbarism to
coniine II patient suffering from diph-
liberia in the city jall, With all the
hospitals and charitable institutions
with which Omaha has been provid ID a
place ought TO be found in n of them
where people with contagious diseases
might be cared for. Not only is some.
thing OF this kind required by considera-
tion of humanity for the patient, bat the
remainder OF the community demands
protection from unnecessary exposure.
The city Jail should be the last place to
be resorted to as a hospital for con-
tagious diseases. 1t offers no accomms-
dations for caring for the sick and ii
constitutes a distributing center for the
rapid and efficient spread of disease
germs to all parts Of the city. Arrange
ments should have been made long ago
for the use of a contagious disease ward
at one Of our many hospitals. Nor is 1t
yet too late to take precautions for the
