Today Is the 165th anniycr-
sary of the birthday Of George
Washington, the most iliustrious
character in American history. The
name Of Washington is first of all an
! inspiration to patriotism. He was pre-
cminently n patriot in The broadcast
sense OF the term. At this time, when
there is so much said in the namc ri
patriotism that bellies that sentiment.
the intelligent American citizen should
carefully study the character of WASH
ington as a patriot. Us it Is disclosed
i'm his public career and In his farewell
address to his countrymcl. That I'M
mortal enunciation Of principles for the
guidance of a free people will be read
In the senate of the United States to-
day and 1t may be hoped that 1t viii
make n wholesome impression upon h
body. Among its admonitions is this:
"Obscrvc good faith and justice toward
all nations; cultivate peace and har-
mony with all. Religion and morality
cnjoin this conduct; and can it be that
good policy does not equally cnjoin itE'
This counsel of Washington rchukes
the spirit of jingoism and the feeling
Of hatred toward Il kindred nation
which is so frequently manifested by
men in high public station.
But while more than all else an ex-
ample of lofty patriotism, Washington
was illustrious in other respects. His
wisdom had much to do In the framing
OF the constitution and his statesman
ship was signally shown in the work
of launching the government. Asso-
ciated with great men. he had no diff
ticulty in maintaining Il leadership
which ali of them acknowledged, be-
cause they knew the integrity and
purity of his purposes.
Formerly the recurrence of this an
niversary was marked by public dem
onStrations. Now it is celebrated more
quietly, but perhaps nom the less eff
fectivcly for intoxicating the priceless
lessons to Il free people which
tho life of Washington inspired.
Certain ii is that the memory
Of that great man is as rever-
emily cherished by his country
men now as it has ever been and it
will be a sign of ~dccadcnce if ever the
American people shall cease TO hold the
name of Washington in supreme honor.

FRIGHTENING BUSINESS.

Buffalo EXPRESS: Railroad building in the
west Is receiving a strong stimulus from the
drop in the price for rails since the break
ing Of the steel rail pool, Both the Carnegie
and the Illinois Steel companies, which are the
leading cOmbu;itors for the trade, are get
ting all thd1business they can attend to.
Activity in new construction will benefit
greatly the sections concerned.
Des Mcines Capital: The break in steel
rails will infuse new life into a great indus
Try, The output this year is expected to be
three timcs as large as that OF 1S05-at least
2.000, 900 tors. This will reduce the price

take advantage OF low prices to renew wooden
bridges with iron. This, and other in prove
ments, means work and living wages for

protection, which built up the iron and steel
trade, there would have been no such com

rho Crash OF Pools.

One by one the combinations in the iron
and steel trades that were devised to nullify
the law of competition are collapsing be-
fore its irresistible sweep. Yesterday it was
the Steel Rail trust that came down with a
crash: to-day it is the Iron Ore pool, which
controls the output of the Lake Superior
mines, that is tottering to its fall. What
ever may be the immediate effect of such
descriptions on individual or local interests,
the ultimate outcome can only be wholesome,
for it will mean the assertion of the slprem-
acy of the natural laws of trade. However
individual greed and ambition may hope to
intrench themselves upon the ruins of the
pools, they must inevitably come at last to
the fate which they are now preparing for

st. Paul Pioneer PTess.
Following the lead Of the Illinois Grain
Growers association, the packing interests
of Kansas City have recently been investi-
eating and experimenting with the facilities
of New 0rleans as an exporting point. The
result, 1t is said, is that hereafter all ship
ments of pork, beef, etc., from Kansas City
to Europe will be made via New Orleans.
The same interests in Omaha, st. Louis and
elsewhere are pushing an investigation as
to the comparative advantages of New Or
leans and eastern ports for similar ship
ments from these Places 1t is simply a
question of freight charges and of time.
The north and south railroad lines, under
the leadership of the Illinois Central man
agement, seem to be working in harmony to
promote a grand diversion to the gulf of
the traffic which has hitherto poured east
ward from the states bordering on the Mis-
sissippi and from the transmissouri empire.

SEGlK INn RECIPkOEIVN.

The sugar duties will be somewhat
increased in the new tariff bill and
they will be specific. The expectation
is to get S25.o 100000 additional revenue
from this source. In view of the fact
that the most important of the reel
procity agreements made under the last
republican administration were due to
free sugar, the question naturally pre-
sents itself whether we shall be able
10 rCnew those agreements without free
sugar. The fact is fully recognized by
the republican members of the ways
and means committee that they can
not dispense with sugar as a source of
revenue and consequently there will be
10 provision for making sugar free.
no matter what tariff concessions are
made by other countries to the United
States.
The plan which it is understood will
he adopted is to fix a maximum and
minimum tariff upon sugar and coun-
tries making concessions to the United
States will get the benefit of the min
imum rate. 1t is probable that the
rates will be 1 cent per pound Oh
sugars testing IS degrees or under. with
an increase of Il small fraction of Il
cent for each additional degree. Upon
this basis the minimum rate might be
fixed anywhere between half a cent and
three-Quarters Of Il cent upon sugar test
ing - degrees. which would afford n
substantial advantage to countries OBJ
tanning the lower rate, but would not
greatly pull down the revenue until all
the sugar-producing countries awaited
themselves of the minimum rate. Here
is hi difficulty. 1t is apparent that
so far as the reciprocity policy depends
upon the sugar schedule, we must either
get much less revenue from uga than
is desired, or we must surrender reel
prOcity as to the sugar-producing coun-
tries. This is clearly the dilemma and
there does not appear TO be II escape
from 1t. Then there IS also the ques-
ton of protection to the domestic sugar
industry. ManifeStly this would be i'm
paired by an arrangement with sugar
producing countries under which they
Npllu Stl llt MINIMUM lul'S'
OF course the first consideration is
revenue and desirable rs it is to re
store reciprocity if that can be done
only by n great sacrifice of revenue it
will have to be dropped. 1t seems to
be absolutely necessary that ut least
$5o,GO0,000. shall be annually derived
from sugar duties and it appears en-
tirely certain that his amount cannot
be had under the plan which the ma
iority of the ways and means commit
tee Is said to propose, nor will that
plan assure the required protection to
the American sugar industry. The pro-
motion of reciprocity is greatly to be
desired. The republican party is
pledged to do so. But it may have to
yield to the imperative necessities of
the government,

IHUIdIIUTIVTTs JUDITH
The agitation OF the beet sugar question
is pretty sure to be productive Of some
friendly legislation and a steady develop
ment of the business. 1t is not likely that
congress will place a bounty on domestic
sugar, but it will doubtless impose a fairly
protective duty on foreign sugar, which
will answer the same end, besides furnish
ing revenue. Members Of congress from
some of the northwestern states, especially
Minnesota and Nebraska, say that the
farmers in those states are greatly encour-
aged by the result of their experiments in
growing sugar beets, and they predict that
under a protective duty the manufacture of
beet sugar in the northwest will make rapid
progress.

tanned for many years, but has been at last

The American apple is now very much at

~NEnRAsI<A's DISGRACE.
Developments Regarding the COndi-
ton of the state Treasury.

Chicago Post.
The official statements of the governor
and ex-state treasurer of Nebraska in re-
gard to the ~latter's shortage of nearly
$3.50. 900 are highly indefinite and unsatis-
factory. Governor Holcomb limits him
self to a bare recital of the facts. He
states that although the ex-treasurer has
been out OF office nearly two months he
has not as yet accounted to his successor
for the moneys due and belonging to the
state. Mr.. BARLEY, the eX-treasurer,
does not deny the facts, but he charges
the new administration with trying to
make a mountain out of a rnole-hill. He
says that every dollar he owes will be
paid in reasonable time and that there is
not a penny of the public funds which
cannot be accounted for.
An investigation has been ordered and a
legislative committee appointed to conduct
it and present a report within five days. Mr..
BARLEY may have had the most excellent
intentions. and it may be true that the state
of Nebraska will eventually get every dollar
which is due from him, but it is evident
that there is something wrong about a sys-
TEN which allows such a situation as the
present one to arise. The law contemplates
the turning over of the state money b" the
retiring treasurer to his successor the very
day his term expires, and II very properly
takes no cognizance of the motives prompt
ing it's violation. What honest men are al
lowed to do rascals will take the liberty of
doing without even taclt consent of the gov
erning power, and the result must inevitably
be loss and generalization.
Ex-Treasurer BARLEY. it will be observed.
does not indicate the use to which he put
the missing funds. He is evasive and vague
on this point. The general impression seems
to be that he has deposited the state money
in banks other than authorized state de-
positories, and that these institutions. while
doubtless safe and solvent under normal
financial conditions, have suffered from the
hard times and are unable to make full
and immediate payment. If this Is true, the
ex-tTeasurer has acted in violation of law.
He has been phiianthropic at public expense
and risk, and this neither law nor morality
can sancti0n!t 2
The Taylor shortage in South Dakota is
still within public recollection. That diff
Guilty, too. originated in the desire OF an
obliging official to aid straitened banking
institutions and, politicians. 1t ended in a
penitentlary sentence for the accommodating
treasurer, and aloss to the state. We hope
Nebraska willobe more fortunate, but the
lesson OF the incident will not be altered.

INVADING THE ENGLISH MARKE


The report that 10000 tons of steel
rails have been sold by the Carnegie
company to English railroads is com
mented upon as seeming to make Il turn
ing point in the trade relations of the
two foremost iron ana steel producing
countries of the world. 1t Is certainly
n most interesting commercial fact that
an American manufacturer of steel rails
was able to underscll British manu-
facturers in their home market and it
suggests great possibilities. Exports of
our manufactures have had n marked
Increase during the last two years and
there seems to be every reason to expect
that they will continue to grow. 1t Is
suggested that this sending rails to Eng
land is likely to have a most beneficial
effect upon our trade with the world. 1t
can hardly fail to increase the prestige
of American manufacturers in other
countries and may reasonably be re-
garded ms a distinct step toward Ameri-
can supremacy in the commercial world.
But II progress in this direction
should not persuade us to abandon that
policy under which our manufacturing
industries have been so highly deyel-

water of The Omaha Bee Is working in
every possible way for the success of the
Transmisslssippi Exposition, which promises
to be the g%randest spectacular affair ever
held in the west. The people of this state
do not realize the Importance of this expo
sition and the benefit the state will derive
or they would not rest so easy about II.
Every county should demand its representa-
ttves to vote for the appropriation of S550.00O
for this grand affair. Nebraska Is looked
upon as a guide in the matter of approprla-
tons, and If we give a good amount we can
expect liberal sums from our sister states.
If we do not give anything. but let the expo
sitton pass by, the fair name of Nebraska
will receive n blot that can only be erased
by the flight of time. Let us demand a
good appropriation and have on our soil an
exposition equal in many respects TO the

The absurd charge that the men be-
hind the Transmississippi Exposition
project are not taxpayers is a Pigment of
malicious imagination. The exposition
stock subscription list includes not only
most of the large property owners in
Omaha but also thousands of small
homo owners and mechanics and clerks
and laborers. Before the stock books are
closed they will include subscriptions
from nearly everybody who has property
interests in the city. The exposition
itself will add hundreds upon hundreds
of thousands of dollars to the tax valua-
ton of the state. AS a matter of fact
it would be difficult to get together fifty
more representative property owners
than the fifty directors of the exposition
association.
