South Omaha is talking of erecting
an auditorium, Lincoln has one nearing
completion, so has Des Moines, Kansas
City and various other cities in this
part of the country which have no more
use for one than Omaha and no more
with which to build it. What is the
matter with Omaha and South Omaha
getting together on the project and hav-
ing one ready for occupancy by the time
the convention season rolls around
again?

Senator Hanna may retire from the
craftsmanship of the republican national
committee, but the abuse heaped upon
him will simply be revived for his sue
cessor. 1t does not matter who may be
at the head of the republican national
organization it is the persistent policy
of the popocratic organs to malign and
blackguard. Senator Hanna suffered in
this respect not for anything he has
done, but because of the position he
occupied.

Just why citizen of Thurston county
should expect charitable institutions of
Douglas county to take ana care for an
Indian suffering from fatal malady
is not clear TO the casual observer un-
less il be that Thurston county commits.
soners wish TO shift the burden Of eX-
pense upon the taxpayers of Douglas
county. There has been altogether too
much of this kind of business in the
past, but it can he stopped If every case
of an imported or deported pauper is
brought to the attention of proper local
authorities.

The Inconvenience of two railroad
stations only half block apart, but
shut off from one another by high
iron fence compelling the public to
mount the Tenth street viaduct to get
from one to the other, calls for a vigor-
GUS protest. The railroads should real
ize at once their obligations to accom-
modate the public and construct either
an underground or an overhead pas
sageway across the tracks that will
raise the embargo.

FRENCH HOSTILI7Y no ENGLAND

'i'S4',Ii hoSI iLII ~ ENGLAN d.
French hostility to England grows
! daily more marked and bitter, if we
! may judge from the utterances of the
| Paris press, and there has naturally
been aroused feeling of Indignation
in England that is voiced in the recent
speech of the secretary of state for the
colonies, when he declared that this
Indignation may have serious conse-
quences if our neighbors do not mend
their ways" This declaration has
been criticised as indiscreet, even so
distinguished British statesman as
Lord Rosebery pronouncing an unfavor-
able opinion upon it, but it is not to be
doubted that majority of Englishmen
feel all the resentment implied in
Chamberlain's remark. 1t is very true.
as Rosebery said, that the queen can
not be besmirched by such attacks as
have been made by the French press.
but this does not mitigate the intent
and 1t is this that iustifies British in
dignation.
The French newspapers make light
of Chamberlan's warning, but the
colonial secretary is apt to have
pretty clear understanding of the pre-
vailing sentiment among his country
men and If he has correctly repre-
sented it the prediction may confidently
be made that amicable relations be-
tween England and France will be
maintained only by such conduct on
the part of the latter as England can
find no reasonable objection to. The
animosity between the people of the
two countries has reached point
where it is more likely to grow in bit
terness than to decrease and this being
so there is obvious possibility of it
leading to serious consequences.

Omaha has made great headway dur
Ing the past two years in replacing its
wornout wooden block pavement with
substantial material 1t has much more
work to do in the same direction, Prop
,rty owners who have premises which
ire still disgraced by fronting on streets
constructed of decaying wooden blocks
should lose no time in moving by pc
titlon to secure requirements. With a
limited intersection fund at the dis
posal of the council for repaying street
intersections the earlier petitions will
be most likely TO get favorable action.

1t is part of the duty of soldier to risk
his life for his country, but he should MT
be called upon to risk his life for a month
in transport SO unseaworthy that 400
soldiers have 20 keep baling it out night
and day to prevent it from sinking with
all on board. The voyage of the Mana
uense to Manila should be the very last
of that sort of thing and strict Justice
should be meted out to those responsible
for sending the transport to sea in such a
condition.

One of the prohibition candidates for
university regent polled 5,695 votes at
the recent Nebraska election. This in
dicates in a measure the prohibition
contribution to the election of HOlcomb,
the fusion candidate. Surely the pro-
hibitionists are entitled to bigger slice
of the fusion pie than the so-called sill
yer republicans.

The allegation is made that crooks
have stand-in with law officers in
South Omaha and that as a consequence
1t Is unsafe for citizens to walk the

thugs have assurances of immunity
the authorities are thus in measure
responsible for injuries inflicted upon
citizens. A vigilance committee headed
by young Trumble might clear the town

statement of campaign expenses. After
paying all bills balance remained in the
treasury, which might be turned over
to help pay the deficit in the treasury

expense seems to have been for litera-
ture, the liquor interests furnishing the
