Governor Nye ruled today that the Sem
ate could not pass any bills, as it was
the last day of the session. Speaker
Adams OF the House made an opposite
ruling, allowing bills to be passed.
There was an animated scene in the
Lieutenant-Gov room at noon after
the Legislature adjourned. Mr.. Nye was
signing bills when Governor Matthews
came in. He was visibly excited and said
he had three bills before the Senate
which ought to be acted upon. One was
against prize fighting.
'Under your ruling" declared Gov
ernor Matthews, these bills cannot be
passed. You should not have made such
a ruling"
my ruling was according to the con-

SPECTATORS ARE PERTURBED
An Advance of Four and One-Haif Per Cen,
i'm Wheat

San Francisco, March 1.-THE crop re-
ports sent out by the Government are
such that SPECTATORS in wheat were at
fever heat today owing to an advance of
Az cents over the ruling price of Satur-
day, which was 80 cents.
The grain supply is particularly short
in the Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas,
where it is reported that there is not grain
enough left for the spring sowing and
immediate use.
The conditions are reversed in favor of
California, where farmers have been
feeding their stock on wheat for the past
three months, trying to get rid OF the
surplus which has accumulated during
the past two years, and where the
demands were not great enough to ex-
haust the stock.

According to an ordinarily reliable
Washington Correspondent, Secretary
Carlisle has been offered an appoint
ment to the vacancy on the supreme
bench and has promptly and positively
declined the .tnder. This in the face
Of the fact that ut the time Chief JUS
tice Fuller was appointed Mr. Carlisle
was not only willing but extremely
anxious to 80 upon the bench. The
change Is laid to the desire on the part
of Mr.. Carlisle to earn more money at
the practice of law than the salary at
taching to the supreme court judgeships
and there TO make up for the financial
sacrifice cntailed by service in the cabi-
net for four years. This is all within
the realm of possibility and If verified
later will form one of the interesting
episodes in the inner history of the
present national administration.

In taking issue with The Bee as to
the relative importance to Omaha of the
jobbing trade, manufactures and the
retail trade the World-IIerald condc-
scends to welcome The Bee into the
ranks of those who are laboring to up
build Omaha. In view of the fact that
The Bee has done more during the past
twenty-five years and is doing more to-
day for the upbuilding of Omaha than
any other concern in Omaha, its recog-
milton at this time by the World Herald
borders on the ludicrous. In acknowl-
cdging this compliment The Bee will
not stop to dispute the point raised by
its contemporary. 1t comedies cheer
fully that both the jobbing and retail
trade are of vital Importance to the
city and hopes they will vie each with
the other to contribute most to the UP.

A GREAT ADMINISTRATION.
That of President Harrison Ctassea
ms TyptcrIty Republican.


x-President Harrison is reported to have
said to the New York reporter who tried TO
interview him as to who would be the te-
publican presidential candidate next year,
"All things come TO him who waits III
might not BE- fair to assume that the ex-
president referred to himself, even II he
said this, but II would come nearer applying
TO him than to any other great political
leader OF today, General Harrison has
steadily refused to discuss politics except
as II applied to the great election victories.
He has attended to his own private business
and his law practice, and as far as known
has no bureaus at work for him or agents
hunting delegates. No one is authorized to
speak for him and say that he is candidate,
or VIII be next year; and yet there Is no
open candidate who is so much feared by
those who want the nomination, and those
who desire to control the convention. This
is not because the eN-president is popular
with the politicians. or because OF his per-
sonal popularity with those who are likely
TO be delegates Ia the convention. 1t is
simply because Of the record his admins
tration made and which stands out In such
marked contrast to the administrations OF
Grover Cleveland which preceded and fol-
lowed it,
The administration OF Harrison was a
typical republican administration. Its popu-
larity rested upon the principles of the re-
publican party; not upon one particular
issue but upon all that have grown into the
history of tho country. There is no one
issue represented by Mckinley, Reed. ALI
son, Morton or any other republican that
does not find n parallel in the Harrison ad-
mnistration. II was the administration that
put the Mckinley tariff law in force, kept
surplus in the treasury. paid of bonds in
stead Of issuing new ones. sought to secure
free ballot and a fair count, and main
tained the dignity OF the government at
home and abroad, upheld the Monroe doc
trims, recognized the republic Of Hawaii and
was, in fact. typical American administra-
tion. And with its close ended a period OF
greatest prosperity the country had ever
known.
President Harrison never claimed any
credit for the success of his administration
as due to himself personally He was a
republican. and carried out the policy of the
republican party, which was responsible for
the government during his administration.
Il was typical republican administration,
and its record a glorious one. Neverthe-
less. General Harrlson's head and hand hav-
ing directed It, on his name 1t must reflect
glory. He may not care for another term
as president, but there is no other political
leader who can wait upon the future with
more serenity than he.

SEALS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING.
Slaughter of the Pups Bad Feature
of the Situation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Informaton
reaches here that the revenue cutter Bear
the last government vessel to leave Bering
sea, has just brought down some startling
evidence of the effect of pelagic sealing upon
the Alaskan seal herd. which frequents the
Pribyloff or Seal islands. In accordance with
the finding of the Paris arbitration, schooners
are now permitted to hunt seals in Berng
sea with spears, in a sixty mile limit around
the islands, from August I. 1t was thought
that combining sealing schooners TO SPEARS
and reducing the season to practically flve
or six weeks would stop the slaughter in
Berng sea, and allow the herd to recuper-
ate. This year not less than sixty schooners
began hunting in Berlng sea August l, and
captured nearly 10000 pelts, about so per
cent of which were females. This does not
show the full extent of the injury done
The seal pups are dependent on their mothers
milk for the four or five months of their
existence, and without it must suffer starva-
tion.
Acting under instructions of their respec-
tive superiors, both resident treasury officers
and agents OF the North American Com
mercial company made count of the dead
pups found at the close of the season, when
the sealing schooners had left the sea. The
census was Just completed when the Bear
left, reaching $1,000, and doss not include
those in the last stages of starvation. The
same conditions prevailed last year. but the
count was made with less exactness on ac-
pecuniary loss to the United States and the
commercial world by this needless waste Of
animals will reach hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
The United States has never allowed the
moestation of breeding grounds or killing
of females on land, and made an effort last
year to stay the slaughter going on by
limiting the land killing to $1,000 immature
males. 1t is questionable, If, in the face
of existing conditions and the reports of
treasury officials, further restraint will be
exercised, especially as the request made last
January by the United States to Great
Britain for greater protection to the seals,
has been practically ignored.
1t was attempted by the United States to
stop the barbarity practiced on the seals by
seizing the schOonsrs, and that subjected the
government TO claims for damages on the
part of Canada These claims. which were
rejected last year by congress. are again
receiving attention from the State depart
ment, and the articles of a convention pro-
viding for a commission to sit at Victoria
are being considered. 1t is believed in con-
gressional circles that unless treaty which
must be ratified by two-thrds vote of the
senate. confines the assessment OF damages
strictly to vessels passed upon by the Paris
tribunal and provides a penalty on the part
of all witnesses called by either government.
1t will suffer the same fate as did Secretary
Gresham's proposition to pay to Canada S425,-
ber of the schooners belonged to American
subjects and nearly three-fourths OF the
claims are for prospective catches Of seals,
