Wonderful Strides of Invention.

Nature does not have the power she once
did of keeping her great secrets from the
discovery of man. We are becoming privy to
her occult and hidden forces and she is tell
ihs her most carefully guarded secrets to
man with all the readiness of a garruous
gossip. When we consider what gigantic
strides in invention the nineteenth century
has witnessed We are little less than dazed
In anticipation of what the twentieth century
VIII accomplish. Franklin wished that he
might live century ahead of his own gener-
alton to see the advance the world would
make in hundred years. Were he alive to-
day this desire would be intensified, for the
world is advancing much faster now than
1t was in Franklin's day.

The assertion of Churchill's friends
that he was slaughtered in the house of
his friends will not be accepted with
out slight modification. 1t was a sur
prise to the people of Omaha, who
ought to be in position to know him
best, when Churchill was first nomi-
mated to the office of attorney general.
To assume that he had large follow
ing in the. primaries and convention in
this county this week is to give him
credit folo popularity which has never
been expressed by the voters of Omaha
in convention assembled. He was nomi-
mated two years ago as the result of a
trade. Itiis not likely that such i'll
considered work will be INDUCED in by
the state convention this year.

Good fortune is returning TO the South
Omaha stock market. The annoying
obstacles which have in recent years
retarded the business of the stock yards
have all. been overcome. Terminal
charges, against which vigorous protest
was made, have been abolished,
and the railroads have abandoned the
rates based ON maximum weight per
car which caused so much complaint
Hereafter a carload of stock is a car
load, whether it weighs 10000 or 10000
pounds. Now that the railroads have
obliterated every cause for dissatisfac-
tion the volume of business at the yards
this year should reach or approximate
the maximum record of other days, and
it doubtless will.

The federal court having confirmed
the sale of the water works, which
was effected in this city May 20, there
is little doubt the complications IN
which the company has for the past
few years been involved will soon be
overcome, thus rendering the owners
free to conduct the business salts
fnctorily to themselves and to the peo-
pie of Omaha. The troubles which
overlook the company cannot in any
degree be ascribed to the failure of the
Omaha plant to produce sufficient
revenue. 1t is Il sound, paying prop
erty, and If the company could have
expended share of the profits long
ago in improving the works there
would have been no occasion for COM
plants of inadequate hydrant pressure
and unsatisfactory service

ULYSSES SIMPSON GRANT, THIRD
Presidential Appointment to West

Moses L. Handy in Chicago Tlmes-Herald
Once or twice l have said that Major
Mckinley would go into the presidency with
cut having made any promise to anybody. !
take that back. In the presence of several
people only week ago he made promise
to Colonel Frederick Dent Grant. ex-minister
to Austria and now a member of the happy
family known as the New York police board.
The thing promised was not a cabinet
Office nor foreign mission nor the collector
ship Of the port of New York 1t is promise
to appoint Ulysses S. Grant third to a cadet
ship at West Point A few months before he
died General Grant wrote with trembling
hand a letter addressed the president of
the United States requesting the appoint
ment CT his grandson to the United States
army. 1t happens that young Grant will
reach the requisite age early in the term of
the president of the United States who VIII
ho inagurated on the 4th of March next.
Colonel Grant is so sure that Major McKin-
ley will be the man iGaugurated on that day
that he has already given notice that he will
present the draft for his sons appointment,
and considering that General Grant signed
the draft and General Sherman indorsed 1t
Major Mckinley hardly needed to give the
assurance that it would be duly honored.
/ learn, by the way, that Ulysses S. Grant
third is now bright lad. 16 years Of age,
attending school in New York. He is great
student, speaks several languages huenty,
and is at the head OF all his classes. His
father as an original Mckinley man de-
lighted at the prospect of his sons appoint
ment by President Mckinley, and Major
Mckinley says that nothing would reconcile
him to the responsibilities Of the presidential
Office more than the privilege of executing
a posthumous order of his old commander
in the war of the rebellion.

A terrible calamity occurred at Mos

one of the imperial coronation fensts ut
which hundreds of people were tram

full and detailed account of the awful

patch to the Associated press. None of
its contemporaries published in this part

speculntins on the BoIln Sentence.

The supreme court has admitted Bolln, the
Omaha treasury thief, to bail. This is prob
ably the beginning Of the end, and that end
will be new trial and the escape Of the
confessed thief. 1t is ten to one that the con-
victed thief will never serve any part of his
sentence. From purely technical point of
view perhaps the supreme court has only
done its duty in the premises. but 1t is pass
Ing strange that there is never failure to
find such handy technicalities in the interest
of public thieves But the supreme court is
the law and all good citizens must bow be-
fore the majesty Of the law, no matter how
their consciences may be fouled by the bow

A melancholy CeIcbration.


Attention is called to the fact that this
year is the centennial of the birth of the
democratic party, its first contest for the
presidency having been made in 1876, when
John Adams beat Thomas Jefferson for the
succession to Washington. The party's cele-
bration of the great anniversary seems a
good deal like an Irish wake.
