pREpDsTEROUS STORIES

Reports Of complaint and criticism
by prominent military officers should
not receive too ready credence from the
public. A reported interview with Gen
eral Lawton, in which he was stated to
have criticised military operations in
Luzon. is denied on the authority of
General Schwan, on duty at Manila, in
a dispatch to the War department. An
other report states that General
Wheeler has expressed dissatisfaction
with the management of affairs in the
Philippines and proposes to apply for
permission to return to the United
States unless there Is some change.
Both of these officers are old and ex-
perienced soldiers, thoroughly familiar
with military obligations and the ethics
of their profession. Probably no other
two men in the army would be less
likely than Lawton and Wheeler to in
dulge in criticism of their superior Of
ficers or to express public and un-
official opinions respecting military
operations. They are the last men
from whom would be expected any
such breach of discipline and propriety.
There is NJ doubt good reason for
criticism Of the military management
In the Philippines. 1t has certainly
not been a shining success. But the
officers who are serving there know too
well their duty to complain and they
also know that If dissatisfied there Is

The objection to the Union Pacific
not inspected In the state arises not so
much out of solicitude for the safety Of
the people supposed to be endangered
as out of the longing of the popocratic
inspectors for the inspection fees.
There is no question that If the fees
were paid the oil would have no diff

The advantages of a market house
are so we'll understood that argument
favorable thereto would be superfiuous.
In Omaha the need is imperative and is
generally conceded. The only question
is, How can provision be made for the
cost of such a structure as Omaha must
have sooner or later?

What has boone of the many troups
of rainmakers that infested Nebraska
during the season of partial crop fall

As soon as order Is restored in the Philip

ton of Americanisn1.

Secretary Root has found one means of
helping the Porto Ricans by buying their
coffee for the use of the army. The fact that
hitherto the United States have actually been

1t would he interesting to know Just
what excuse the state house reformers
a offer for allowing the insurance
laws passed by the last Legislature to
be hung up and nulliied by executive
deadlock. Present conditions only lead
to confusion, which grows greater with
the lapse of every day, Such a eondi-
ton is ~discreditable to the state and
works an injustice to those whose bust
ness brings them within the operation
OF the law.

The Right to Freedom.

NeW IoIh NoIEu,
Senator Lindsay says that 1.-THE Filipinos
have never been free" and therefore "in
submitting to the authority of the United
States they surrender no privileges or i'm
munity." Our revolutionary patriots had
never been free" but they declared and
established their natural and inalienable
rights to freedom. 1t is a new and strange
doctrine for an American statesman to
preach that a lost heritage Of freedom is the
only justification OF a war for independence.

Experts OF the Agricultural depart

protest and the scientists are forced to
revise their opinions. Like the traveller

In Denver the street railway COM

that the lessons of the last New Jersey cleo

LOGBETnS OPPORTUNITY.

President Loubet has an opportunity
to vindicate Justice, relieve France of
the stigma that now rests upon the ma
ton and win the commentator of I'M
p~rejudiced people throughout the civil
lied world. The members Of the Rem
mes court-martial have recommended
that Dreyfus be not subjected to a fresh
degradation. Such mercy would be in
consequential. 1t would not In the
least mitigate the injustice of the verdict.
The great wrong that has been done
cannot be lessened or modified by
merely relieving the unfortunate victim
of another ordeal of degradation. No
such cheap expedient of so-called
the monstrous outrage upon justice that
has been committed. So far as the
military power of France is concerned
1t can 10 nothing more to degrade Drey-
fus. 1t has gone the full length and
to repeat the act of 1894 would but add
to its shame and dishonor and intensity
the nearly universal contempt in which
it Is held.
President Loubet has the power to
pardon Dreyfus. Has he the moral
courage to exercise this power? He
is a man of the people. He has shown
himself to be a friend of justice, else
there might have been no Rennes court
martial. He is a patriotic man, jealous,
there is no doubt, of the honor of his
country and earnestly devoted to it's
welfare. His conduct since he became
president has shown him to be a states
man not influenced by preiudices or a
narrow ~partisanship. In the opinion of
the civilized world the honor of France
has been compromised. The unpreju-
diced and impartial judgment Of man.
kind condemns the Drevfus verdict.
The material interests of the nation are
threatened. On every hand France is
derided and scorned. Will the presi-
lent of the republic disregard all this,
as well as the appeal of justice. and
permit the monstrous wrong to stand?
Will he need the voice of resentment
and protest raised in every civilized
land. or will he allow the crime Matched
in conspiracy and consummated through
perjury to be carried to its fulfllment?
We shall see.
A leading paper Of Paris expresses
the opinion that the pardon of Dreyfus
would bring about the paciication Of
France. There Is reason to think that
this is a sound view. 1t should satisfy
those who demand the vindication of
justice and it is highly probable that
the army would not attempt to create
agitation against such an act, since to
do so might prove perilous to some of
the prominent intrlguers in this deplor-
able affuir. IF setting Dreyfus free
would release MERCER and the other
conspirators and periurers from the
danger of having to answer for their
crime. perhaps they would accept 1t
without complaint, regardless of the
fact that it might be construed by the
world as in effect their condemnation,
for they must realize that they are al
ready condemned.
President 1Oubet has the opportunity
to do the greatest possible service to
his country and the world will await his
decision with the ~profoundest interest.

There is basis for the belief that the
Union Pacific will bv consolidation and
combination with other lines soon III
solid trains between Omaha and Seat
tie, whose deep harbor has attracted
some of the most important of Asiatic
steamship lines, Thus Omaha shippers
will have a direct line for consignments
to the Orient and to Alaska, enabling
them to shun the Southern Pacific
monopoly, which has done more to in
jure San Francisco than any other in
fiuence. The railroads between The
Missouri river and the Puget Sound
country can make Seattle a much
greater port than it already is, for ma
ture did everything for the harbor there
and it only remains for man TO take adj
vantage OF his opportunities.
