JOHNNY, GET YOUR GUN.

Chicago Chronicle.
Take up the Boermans burden, ye British
men of war,
Bring forth your fighting forces from near
and from afar;
The sullen Afrikander means business-that
is plain,
And will not dance to music piped by
Chamberlain.
What matter though he's silent, he has a
stubborn will.
'Twoud seem he's not forgotten the grand
"Majuba hill;"
So teach him, cousin Johnnie, with one
grand, crushing blow,
That you will boss his country, or blood
will have to flow.
What business have such people to say
what's right or wrong,
And call on the Creator with prayers and
psalms and song:
Has God not delegated his power and might
on earth
To those who are the fttest by right of
noble birth?
The Anglo-saxon people must rule, that is
the cry,
And damned be he forever who will this
law deny;
The clvilizing process sent from a Maxim
gun
Must never stop in progress, when once

THE HASTINGS INVASION.

The return visit of the people of Hast
ings to the Omaha exposition in ac-
acknowledgement of Omaha's excursion to
the Hastings street fair is n manifesto
ton of friendly feeling which both cities
should appreciate.
There has been altogether too much
jealousy of Omaha in the past among
the other cities of the state, system
atically famed by people imbued with
the mistaken idea that Omaha's growth
and prosperity are at the expense of the
rest of the state. The people of Ne
braska must realize that only great
states can boast of great cities and that
Omaha's prosperity must always rest
upon the substantial foundation of
statewide prosperity.
Nothing is better calculated to instill
this spirit than the interchange of visits
by the influential business men of
Omaha and the other thriving cities
which maintain trade relations with it.
1t is certainly to be hoped that the peo-
pie of Hastings will repeat their inva-
sion of the metropolis as frequently as
possible in the future and that the cities
and towns of Nebraska generally will
emulate the good example.

The Venezuelan Award.
SnrjppfaltI. ReDllhlican


Justice Brewers revelations concerning
the secret history of the Paris award in
the Venezuela boundary case are decidedly
interesting yet they do not discredt the
arbitration principle. The result was
compromise. The judges viewed the dis
pute from different standpoints, and when
all the arguments were in they found that
all held different views as to how the
boundary should be drawn. Each one con-
ceded something, and thus unanimity was
finally obtained. The final unanimity,
therefore, does not mean that the line was
what any particular judge would have
drawn. Some would have given Venezuela
much more; it could hardly have got less.
AS compromise, however, the boundary
probably contains as much real justice as 1t
were possible to extract from such case.
Compromise is entirely proper in such in
stances. 1t is because the rival claims con-
flict that a compromise is necessary, unless
resort be had to force, and then might makes
right.

Work on the new Omaha Manawa mo-
tor line is progressing and should be
completed long before the advent of the
summer resort season. The ultimate
success of this enterprise is largely de-
pendent upon prospective improvements
at the lake and the character of enter
tainments furnished the public. AS a
competing line between Omaha and
Council Bluffs the new enterprise will
of course be conducive to better service.

Recording II Cold Truth.

Nebraska is richer today than ever in its
past history. It's corn crop alone is 100000
600 bushels the largest ever grown, and
that means $2O,OO0,00O additional money to
its farmers. The mortgaged farms are grow
ing less each day. The poor houses of the
state are almost tenantless. The banks OF
the state have ample money deposited by
it's own people to meet all the requirements
of business, and that means defeat to
Organism. The people of the state now well
understand that a man must champion a
bad cause, that can win only by general
calamity among the people.

FUTURE OF TIE BLUFF TRACT.


The approaching close of the exposition
brings again to the front the question of
the final disposition of the beautiful
park into which the exposition grounds
have been transformed in the past t>two
years.
From the first The Bee has contended
that the best memorial that could be Sc
cured of Omaha's great exposition
achievement would be the acquisition of
the bluff tract to form in conjunction
with KOuntze park the principal station
on the north side in our public park sys-
TEN. AS was naturally to be expected,
the people living in the vicinity of the
exposition grounds have already taken
up the project, which we believe ought
to have the hearty support Of all the resi-
dents in the community.
The question Of ways and means will
doubtless be the most perpleXing, but
there is no good reason why some plan
may not be devised by which the neces-
sary funds may be secured before the
ground is used for building purposes.
do nothing to entitle them to more last
ing public gratitude than ky cooperating
to this end, either by donating the land
to the city for park purposes or agreeing

A railroad official is quoted as saying
that the fight between the Burlington
railroad and the shippers of Kansas
City has resolved itself into the issue:
Shall the railroads run their own bus
mess, or shall the shippers of Kansas
City be permitted to run the railroads?
This statement of the case is high
testimonial to the efficacy of the league
formed by the business men of Kansas
City and suggests the possibilities of
such an organization in Omaha. The
shippers of Kansas City are not fighting
Omaha, but they are fighting for their
town regardless of the interests of any
other point. Omaha is incidentally
placed under obligations for railroad
favors enjoyed during the fight, but no
one can deny the right Of Kansas City
shippers to protect their interests and
take advantage of competitors wherever
possible. Omaha would do likewise if
it could and 1t might if an organization
entirely independent of railroad influ-
ence could be effected
