son comparatively easily learned. The
great corn producing sections cannot
afford to overlook such an opportunity OF
cultlvating a wider market for their
staple product.
Omaha daily bee., 1898-11-30

There is reason to hope that with the
coming of new railroads to Omaha the
embargo which has been placed upon
this city as grain market will be
raised. Nothing would have SO great an
influence in that direction as an inde-
pendent line penetrating the great grain
raising section to the northwest. All of
the present roads running into the
tributary producing country now have a
direct interest through their own or
allied lines in sending the product OF
the farms direct to the eastern market.
An Independent line by its competition
would force existing roads to grant the
same privileges. Once equitable rates
with reshipping privileges such as other
centers enjoy are obtained, there will be
no difficulty in securing elevator facili-
ties and building up market.

Kansas is moving in a practical way
to derive some benefit from the great
Paris exposition Of 1900. The governor.
elect and commercial bodies of the state
are preparing to make an exhibit Of the
edible qualities of corn. While the re-
suits OF the efforts Of Kansas citizens
will rebound to the advantage of all
producing sections, there Is no good
reason why Nebraska should not con;
tribute to the corn propaganda. The
fierce strife for supremacy in commerce
and manufactures all over the world
brings to the fore the problem of cheap
and at the same time wholesome and
nOurishing food for the toilers who in
many lands find wheat bread beyond
their reach. or corn as food the Eu.
ropean knows comparatively little. and

A Gal me Two Can Play At.
BOSTON TRANSCRIPT.

Germany is likely to hnd that the game Of
shutting out imported goods on the ground
that they are inimical to public health Is one
which two can play at. Indeed, the other
fellow may have the better hand. There is
no reason to doubt, as alleged, that Ger
man toys and colored goods are poisonous
and that all highly painted German toys are
dangerous to children, who may suck of the
paint or swallow pieces that have become
Clipped on; while on the other hand the ex-
parte charges made by Germany against our
pork products are. save In isolated cases
perhaps. hardly susceptible of proof

"The Gentleman from Hawaii"
Harper's Weekly.

1t Is said that among the features Of the
report of the commission appointed by the
president to devise government for Hawaii
is provision for the election Of a delegate
to congress similar to the provision for the
election OF delegates from our territories.
Unless the natives are disfranchised this
delegate will probably be one Of themselves
and then we shalf have the edifying specta-
Gle Of the American politician cultivating
the native.vote Of the Sandwich islands. We
never believed that the Americans Of the
Islands would retain their power very long
after annexation, and the signs are begin
ming to multiply that their lease Of power is
short.

The Board Of Fire and Police Com.
missloners has notified applicants for
liquor licenses to have their applications,
petitions and proofs Of publication filed
by December 15 in order that they may
be passed on and licenses issued before
the end of the year. The liquor dealer

WASHINGTON, Jan. PA bomIbshsl II
was sprung at today's session Of the
Senate civil service investigating CON-
mission. when e. d. Bailey, assistant
chief examiner Of the civil service COM
mission and leading witness, init
mated that the commission had sought
TO interfere with his testimony,
The first thing that revealed the
fact that might be suspected Of know
ing more about the examination than I
actually know" Mr.. Bailey said, was
when Mr.. Proctor called me to his office
little after the first testimony I gave.
He said he had no desire to influence
my testimony in any way, but that the
chairman of the committee had not
summoned any one friendly to the com
mission. and asked me to tell him what
| was TO say SO he could be prepared
to ans Wer."
The witness insisted that he did not
believe Mr.. Proctor intended to intim-
idate him. little later MT Bailey said
he was searching the records for data
as to Albert Baker, who has figured in
the investigation. when Chief Examiner
Server asked him by what authority
ne was diVulSing the records of the
commission. and advised him to ask the
commission for a statement He con-
flnued, however, to make pencil memo
!anda. This he had submitted to Mr.
proctor, who had expressed no dissent

|vestigatihg committee, Mr.. Proctor
meantime saying he made no eugges-
ton. Later Chief Examiner Server told
him he (Serven) had conferred with the
commmission; that the latter was not
pleased with what MIR. Bailey had said,
and that Mr.. Server regarded Mr. Bal
ley's testimony as criticism of admin
istration rather than suggestion of the
law. Mr.. Server had stamped Mr. Bal
ley's testimony as fire in the rear"
and the commission had instructed
Chief Examiner Server that Mr. Bailey,
his chief clerk, was not hereafter to
sign any recommendations to the COM
mission as had been his CUSTOM That
had curteiled the witness duties and
powers.
Mr.. Proctor took the stand and made
a lengthy statement. He prefaced it
with vigorous arrangement of Mr..
Bailey, whom, though conceding his
conscientiousnass, he stamped as ut
terly lacking in administrative capac-
ity. held him responsible for whatever
trouble had existed in the official cor
reSpondence and criticized him for step
ping out of his bailiwick as a clerk and
assuming to represent the commission.
He characterized Mr. Bailey's views as
vaiueless, and was continuing on this
line when the committee checked him
to keep his testimony within his proper
bounds.
MIR. Proctor then went on to take up
in detail criticisms of the administra-
ton of the commission, and submitted
statements from heads of divisions to
sustain his position.
