COMPARATIVE NEWS ENTERPRISES.

. COMPARATIVE NEWS ENTERPRISE.
/ II is passing strange that people who
} live in glass houses persist in throwing
stones. The other day The Bee gave
/ publicity to Il rumor Cabled from Sofia
by way of Berlin to the Associated
| press TO the effect that Abdul Hamd,
sultan of Turkey. had been poisoned.
! This dispatch was published with due
caution I'm headlines which could not
! possibly have mislcd any intelligent
reader namely. Sultan Said to Be
Dead-Poison Supposed TO Be the
Means of His Taking on" The rr-
mored poisoning of the sultan was
within the realm of probability. The
dispatch was received as rumor and
published as such But our enterpris
ing contemporary. the World Herald
which has achieved notoriety as faiir
of bogus dispatches, has the temerity to
this Associated press cablegram, as If
The Bee had been guilty of n terrible
offcnse and its telegraph service proved
to be unreliable and worthless.
Comparisons are odious, but they
must be made sometimes. 1t may not
be generally known. because The Bee
is not in the habit of Dragging about
its enterprise. but prefers to let it's
works speak for themselves. that the
telegraphic news service of The Bee is
more extensive and more expensive
than that of any paper this side of Chi
cago and north of st. Louis. The great
est contrast between The Bee and it's
pretended rivals is in the telegraphic
columns devoted to cable dispatches
and domestic news from all sections of
the country. This is particularly notice
able in a comparison of commercial
news. The Bee has the exclusive use of
the full Associated press service, day
and night, in the state of Nebraska.
The World Herald has had no Asso-
ciated press dispatches for more than
two years. 1t prints only an abridged
United press report, reinforced by clip
pings and home made spurious tele-
grams. These bogus dispatches have
become so common and clumsy that few
people believe anything they see in that
Snttl NeIIlltt III L le btc. NOt
long since the World-H Herald published
an announcement of the death of Queen
Victoria and an extra containing this
fake was hawked about the streets of
Omaha as genuine goods.
The Associated press day telegraphic
service which The Bee receives and
pays for averages from 5000 to 10000
words daily, and the night service from
$1,000 to $4,000. The World-Herald's
day telegraphic service is from 1900
to $500 words, and it's night service
rarely exceeds 1900 words. The press
service and special kilograms of The
Bee cost an average of 81, 500 month;
those of the World Herald do not ex-
ceed $500 month.
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating. Those who have access to both
papers this morning are urged to COM
pare the contents and note the differ
ence, especially in the quality and quan.
tity of press and special kilograms The
contrast will impress them fOrcibly with
the fact that under the circumstances
it is not only unbecOming, but very
impudent for the VIII. to make faces |
ut The Bee and the Associated press.

Why do rational and clever people
persist in going into the counterfciting
businessI According to the report of
secret service. S03 arrests were made last
year, nearly all of them for violating the
statutes against couutcrfeiting, and of
those who underwent trial only eighty
four were acquitted. while lS1 were con
victcd and 119 pleaded guilty. The
counterfeiter is almost foredoomed to
conviction and that before he has pur-
sued his business very long. In the face
of these facts the ranks of the counter
feiters are regularly recruited, so that
their numbers remain practically steady.

offending His Fences"

Sherman relates in his book that in July,
1879, he visited his farm near Mansfield, and
there gave utterance to an expression which
has since become common term in politics.
In answer to serenade from his neghbors
he said that he had come home purely on
business-to repair my fences and look after
neglected property" His reference was to
tho fences on his farm, which he had found
in sadly dlapidated state, but the news
papers gave it political significance.
and since then, as he says, "every politician
engaged in strengthening his position is said
to be 'mending his fences.'"

The upbuilding of Nebraska depends
in no small degree upon the reclamation
and development of the large extent of
its territory requiring irrigation in or

cision of the supreme court of the state
makes investment in irrigation enter
prises practically secure. 1t is rca-

1t is not generally known to mine
owners that Senator Teller's bill for
reenactment of the Sin lieu of labor
law was not passed by congress and
that this year the usual annual assess
ment work will have to be performed,
says the Anaconda Standard. The bill
failed to become a law because mining
men generally opposed it for the reas-
on that the suspension of annual assess
ment work upon claims checks progress
by retarding development. 1t was
claimed hat the law the past two years
nearly stopped the procuring of patents
to mining claims. and that it has
caused many people to leave mining
camps because they could not OBJ
tain employment, and nonresident
owners We're the greatest beneticiaries
under the law. The recosds we're en-
numbered with notices of claims which
would never have been heard of but

ing. 1t was also argued that every

the people it should be worked. and
that the law was of no real benefit to
either the miner or the prospector.
