The BuriIngton's New Trains

Railroad men who have had the
privilege of examining the four
new trains which the Burlington
Route, on the lst of May, placed
in service between Deayer and
Chicago say they are as magniti-
Gently equipped as any in the
country-that even the famous
limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibuled, and was built es-
pecislly for the Burlington Route.
The four trains are Identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of a buffet
smoking-lbrarycar, a palace sleep
ing-car, and two reclining-chair
cars. The huifet-smoking-library
car is something new for Denver
Chicago line. 1t is veritable
clubhouse on wheels, where one
may read, write, smoke, talk or
play cards, while travelling at the
rate Of fifty miles an hour. 1t is
handsomely oarpeted and furnish
ed with settees, cushioned easy
chairs, lavatory, writng-desk,
compartment for card-players,
and well-stocked buffet ne
current periodicals and news
papers are on file, and n carefully
selected library is provided for the
free use of passengers. The sleep
ing car is gem, and the chair
and dining-oars are in every way
worthy of the train of which they
form an important part.
The Burlington Route takes
palatial trains through 10 Omaha
and Chicago in marvellously quick
time. Leaving Denver at 9:3O
A. IN. today ON one of them you
are landed in Chicago at 2:l5 to-
morrow afternoon, there making
close connections with trains for
all points east. The running time
from Denver to Chicago is only
twenty-seven and three-quarter
hours. Just how fast that is will
be best understood when it is
stated that it is almost FIVE hours
faster than the fastest schedule
in effect prior to February 6, 1898,

FRANCE HAS A MORAL INTEREST.

The French minister of foreign affairs,
M. Hanotaux, is reported as saying that
the Cuban question is not the business
interest in 1t, because of its friendly re.
lations with both Spain and the United
States. The minister eXtols the queen
regent Of Spain and speaks of Americans
as a generous people and says that
''there must be no conflict between these
two nations who are so strongly attached
to us and who are so dear to our hearts"
Doubtless this very accurately reflects
the general sentiment in France. The
feeling is that a war between the United
States and Spain would be Il great mis-
fortune, but outside of those who are
creditors of Spain there is reason to be-
lieve there are very few who regard the
Cuban question as one with which
France has any business to concern
itself as nation. 1t Is distinctly an
American question, to be settled between
Spain and the United States without any
outside meddlng or interference The
moral interest which France or any other
country may take in the matter is some
thing that cannot be objected to, so long
as it is not made an excuse for interfer-
ence.
The expressions of NJ. HanotauX war
rant the belief that there is no danger
of France giving any support to Spain
in the event of war with this country
and since only the possible attitude Of
that government has ever been in serious
pean interference may be dispelled. If
Spain provOkes or invites war she must
do her fighting alone. She will not be
altogether without European sympathy,
but she will not be able to get any sub
stantial assistance.

ANOTHER TERRIBLE MARES NEST

Mr.. Rosewater has finally bullyragged hi:
associates on the executive committee of the
exposition to vote $4,000 into his pocket. OF
rather Into the treasury OF The Bee
From the first Mr.. Rosewater has endeav,
ored to use his position as one of the man.
ayers OF the exposition to bring about some
thing Of this kind.
With unblushing countenance he has intro
duced resolutions and propositions proposing
to pay The Bee large sums for special edi,
tione in the pretended interest or the exposi-
ticn, but actually for the benefit OF Mr.. Rose
water. Several weeks ago, after vainly re,
sisthg these opportunities. the committee a,
last yielded and voted to pay The Bee SO 200
for four pages in the Weekly Bee, Of whict,
Mr.. Rosewater promised to issue 200 600
copies about May I.
Next day, however. Mr. Rosewater being
absent. the committee rescinded its action
Now he has returned and at once proceeds to
hold up the committee OF which he Is a men,

into each others pockets on any pretense is a
disgrace.
The newspapers OF Nebraska and lowe and
the west have been giving free space gener.
ously to the exposition and now the commit
tee In charge Of expenditures proposes to pay
one of its members $500 page for four pages
OF his particular newspaper
1t Is time fo- an earnest protest, and for
that reason The World-Herald lays the matter
before the public and calls upon the commit
tee to reconsider it's action once again
World-H Herald.
This screed bears on its face the con-
tradiction of the false impression which
the malicious fakirs seek to create.
Their manifest object is to make the ex-
position stockholders believe that n do
nation amounting TO $1,000 had been
voted away by the executive committee
to one of its members and to arouse the
hostility of the state press by misleading
1t into the idea that thousands of dollars
are being paid to The Bee for exposition
advertising. The facts in the case COM
pletely refute this fiction and fully
Justify the action of the board.
First and foremost, The Bee has not
been deadhead in the exposition en-
terprise. 1t has already given to the ex,
position advertising space without ask
ing or expecting penny therefor that
could not have been bought for $4,000
by its regular advertising patrons. Its
chief proprietor headed the subscription
list with $1,000 and has given more
time and labor to the exposition than
could be bought for FIVE times that
sum.
Second, the purchase OF 100000 copies
OF The Weekly Bee takes no money out
OF the exposition treasury, but on the
contrary will effect q saving Of not less
Omaha daily bee., 1898-03-26

than $1,000 to the exposition. A gen.
eral distribution of advertising matter to
the farmers In the territory within a
radius Of 400 miles Of Omaha is essential
to insure large attendance of the pro-
ducers. The illustrated supplement
contracted for in The Bee Is to be the
equivalent of the thirty-two-page exposi-
tion booklets. The lowest price at
which 100000 Of these booklets could
be purchased would be $500. The
postage on 100000 booklets would be
$1,000 and the cost of procuring names
and addressed envelopes would be not
less than $1,000 more, making in all a
minimum of $500. The booklets would,
however, not be as valuable for the pur-
Bee, which will contain in addition to
the illustrated supplement fully two
pages of appropriate exposition informa-
ton. The blank paper required to
print these 100000 copies of The Bee
will weigh twenty tons and the postage
charge will be S4OO. The talk of pay
ing $500 a page for four pages of ad-
vertising In The Bee is therefore will
full and malignant falsehood. and so is
the assertion that the board voted $3,200
into Rosewaters pocket.
Incidentally it may be pertinent to
inquire whether the board robbed the
stockholders to put money into the pock-
cts of G. NJ. Hitchcock when 1t voted to
invest in the World Herald exposition
edition at 6b cents per copy when The
Bee only charged cents, including
postage, per copy last year for superior
exposition edition. And how does 6h
cents per copy for the World Herald
abortion compare with the 3-5 cents
per copy, addressed and postpaid, at
which The Bee has contracted to deliver
its special illustrated edition?

THE SPIRIT OF THE SUUTH,

Referring to a ridiculous idea recently
expressed in one of the newspapers of
Havana, that in the event of war be.
tween the United States and Spain the
south and west would take the oppOr-
tunity to secede from the east, the Balti-
more Sun remarks that instead of there
being any disposition in the south to
secede, "the south today appreciates
most fully the benefits derived and to be
derived from the union Of the states and
Is probably more loyal than the east or
west. The south is patriotic in the ac-
tive sense OF the word. Its people would
volunteer for service in the federal army
more promptly, perhaps, than would
those Of the sections that obtain the larg-
est share Of federal pensions and other
practical benefits" The Sun declares
that at the call of duty the men of the
south would fight with alacrity against
Spain or any other power and the ambi-
ton Of the south would be to rival other
sections to prove which could do the best
fighting and the most of it,
The west yields to no section Of the
union in loyalty and patriotism, but 1t
freely comedies that the south possesses
these qualities in equal measure with
any other portion of the country and
will as ardently manifest them If oppor-
tunity offers. In the present juncture
the representatives from the south in
congress have shown as ready and ear
nest desire to sustain the honor and dig
nifty Of the nation as the representatives
of any other section and none have
spoken more forcefully and eloquently
than they Of the duty of Americans to
stand by the government in it's prepara.
tions for the national defense. The
spirit of the south at this time, in the
matter of loyalty and patriotism, is all
right and it is exerting most beneficent
influence

One of the police captains excuses his
non-interference with the open gambling
resorts on the ground that he is only
carrying out the policy of his superiors.
Why should the police board have a
policy that protects open gambling?
The criminal code Of Nebraska makes
the Keeping of gambling resorts in this
state felony. Every member of the
police board, and for that matter of the
police department, too, is sworn to abide
by and enforce the law. If the police
authorities have special policy for
gamblers and similar law-breakers it may
be safely assumed that somebody has
been putting up for protection.
Omaha daily bee., 1898-03-26

A few years ago the publisher of the
Omaha World-Herald made an appeal
for public contributions to fund for
the purpose of providing the poor chill
dren and homeless waits of the city with
Christmas presents. After the money
had been collected the Christmas trees
and presents were secured from mer-
chants on an agreement to exchange for
advertising in the paper and the cash
neatly turned into the charitable pub
lisher's pocket. The same publisher is
now engaged in receiving other peoples
money under plea for aid lor starving
Cubans. The question Is, VIII this
money be invested in commodities pur-
chased with advertising space at three
prices or will it be turned over to the
legitimate relief association acting under
governmental authority?

The Crime of Perjury.

NtSt
The responsibility OF the legal profession
for the prevalence of perjury is very great.
There are some lawyers who create evidence
to aid their own cases. These constitute the
most dangerous class OF professional crimi-
nails. and we may hope 1t Is very small But
there are many who will wink at and 81
lently encourage perjury when it is on their
side. Yet these men would scorn to receive
stolen goods. They quietly swallow the
camel. but would be insulted IL you offered
them the gnat This is because moral sentl-
ment is more clearly defined with respect
to receiving stolen goods than with respect
to profting from perjury.
