RELIANCE ON AMERICA.
why Other Nations Are Obliged to
PatrOnize Our Workshops.

st. Louis Globe-DemoCrat.
Go to America and try what you can do
there" was the telegraphic order OF Cen
eral Kitchener, Engand's military COM
mander In the Soudan. to the head Of his
engineer corps, who had failed in the con-
tinent OF Europe and in England to secure
the sort of cars which were needed on the
railroads in the Soudan. The engineer off,
Ger, who had made thorough search Of
European workshops and among European
railroads, and who knew exactly what he
needed, failed to strike anything which
suited him on the east side of the Atlantic.
1t was then that General Kitchener directed
him to go to America and continue his quest.
He seems to have quickly found here what
he wanted. 1t Is the kind of a vehicle called
gondola car on the Pennsylvania railroad,
whore 1t Is used. The result is that con-
tract for the construction of 400 Of these
cars at the earliest possible moment has
been made in this country.
General Kitchener when he ordered his
subordinate to come to the United States
for his supplies felt that he was standing
on safe ground. The contract for the bridge
over the Atbara in his locality was awarded
a few months ago to an American concern,
The reason why an American company was
awarded that work was that no concern In
England could be found which could do it
in the time allotted, The authorities in
Egypt and the Soudan would naturally prefer
to give the job of furnishing supplies for
those colonies to their own country, but they
confessed that this could not be done except
at loss in time and in the character OF the
materials and workmanship. Therefore,
American workshops and American workers
got the jobs. The same was the case with
the contract for the gondola cars which has
just been entered into. These are purely
business matters. Sentiment swayed so far
as to give the preference to British work
shops II they could supply the need ac-
ceptably but as they failed to meet the re-
quIrements the Americans were called in Ia
do the work
There is marked compliment here to
American promptness and skill. Cars from
America are speeding along Russla's ST.
berian railway, and the whistle OF the
American locomotive is resounding through

KEEP IT BEFORE TIE PEOPLE.

The omaha organ of the allied reform
forces has for its sole capital in opposi-
tlOn to Judge Reese citations from The
Bee of 1888, when Reese was candi-
date for supreme Judge for the first time.
These citations represent Judge Reese
as the preferred choice OF the Union Pa
cihc railroad, which dominated Ne
braska politics at that period. What
The Bee then said concerning Judge
Reese was inspired by the fact that the
Union Pacific politicians had been ac-
tive in his behalf in the nominating con
vention. 1t Is u matter of history, how
ever, that Judge Reese disappointed the
expectations of the corporation man
ayers by living up fearlessly to his oath
of office.
Keep it before the people that Manoah
h. Reese when placed on the supreme
bench proved himself an upright judge
who would neither turn to the right nor
the left in expounding the constitution
and the law.
Keep it before the people also that his
rulings on the supreme bench were so
pronounced against corporate aggression
that he incurred the ill-will of the rail
road managers, who combined against
him when his term expired and pre-
vented his denomination. This unmiti-
gated outrage was denounced by The
Bee and caused universal resentment
with the rank and file of the repub-
lican party.
Keep it before the people that the
turning down of Judge Reese for re-
election has time and again been pointed
out by the sham reformers and their
organs as the principal cause of the up
rising within the republican party that
eliminated in the populist movement.
Keep it before the people and let it
not be forgotten that Silas A. Holcomb
in marked contrast with Manoah b.
Reese, was supported for the position Of
governor as n pronounced anti-monopo-
list, bound by the most sacred pledges
to break up railway rule in Nebraska,
to enforce economy and honesty in every
executive office and compel every cor
poration TO bear its just proportion of
the burdens of taxation.
Keep it before the people that Silas
A. Holcomb made his peace with the
railroads, repudiated the platform on
which he was elected and turned traitor
to his anti-monopoly pledges.
Keep it before the people that Silas A.
HOlcomb was forewarned at the outset
of his term about the shortage in the
state treasury, but lacked the courage
to compel a proper accounting of the
state funds by the defaulting treasurer
| and caused the taxpayers of Nebraska a
| loss of nearly 100000.
Keep it before the people and let them
| think of it before they cast their votes
for supreme judge that while Manoah
| B. Reese firmly and faithfully lived up
to his trust as supreme judge in the face
of threats and temptation, Silas A. Hol-
comb betrayed the trust reposed in him
when put to the supreme test that tries
mems souls by yielding to temptation
and compromising with the enemies of
| good government.

THE POPULAR EFFECT

What has been the effect upon the
people at large of the extraordinary
home.welcoming of Admiral Dewey, the
most remarkable exhibition in our his
tory Of popular admiration of a hero?
Has it intensified public patriotism has
it strengthened sentiment favorable to
maintaining the victory of Dewey at
Manila, or was it productive of nothing
more than passing interest and en-
thuslasm. leaving no lasting impression
upon the minds of men?
The American people are probably as
prone as any other people to hero.wor-
ship. They are easily aroused to an
expression of enthusiastic admiration of
some brilliant military exploit, some
signal act that increases American
prestige and adds to the honor and
glory of the republic. No people excel
them in appreciation of the man who
performs an illustrious service 10 the
country. There is abundant evidence
of this in our history. The honors paid
to Admiral Dewey every true American
approves of. He magnificently per-
formed his duty. He gave new glory
to the American navy. IT is Il matter
of national pride that the foremost
nagal officer of the world is an Ameri
can. But is there not something more
than admiration of the hero in the hon
ors conferred upon Dewey? Is there
not behind the popular enthusiasm with
which he has been welcomed a serious
feeling that his achievement in Manila
bay not merely added to the glory of
our country, but had a SUBSTANTIAL value
no less worthy of consideration.
1t is not to be doubted that many
thoughtful people have been so i'm
pressed by the ceremonies attending the
welcome of Dewey. Doubtless great
numbers, before undecided or indiffer-
ent, have been persuaded by these
events that the victory in Manila bay
should not be allowed to become a bar
rem achievement All over the country,
undoubtedly, the sentiment is stronger
today than week ago that what Dewey
won should not be relinQuished. If he
has been correctly reported the great
admiral has himself contributed to this
sentiment. Whatever his opinion may
be in regard to the way in which mill
tary operations have been conducted in
Luzon, there can be no doubt that he
thinks the United States should main
tain sovereignty in the Philippines.
Every utterance attributed to him
clearly implies his belief that the insur-
rection should be suppressed and that
under the rule of this government the
Filipinos should be taught the true
principles of government, for which
he said they are not now fitted.
We think it unquestionable that the
effect upon the public mind of the
Dewey celebrations has been TO increase
| sentiment in favor Of the policy of the
administration, but whether or not the
effect will be lasting is uncertain. Much
will depend upon the results of military
| operations during the next few months.
If these should be largely successful
there will be a rapid decline in the
| opposition to the governments policy.

Judge Reese shows proper apprecia-
ton of the position of a supreme Judge
by declining to enter upon a personal
canvass on the stump designed TO
arouse partisan rancOr that would al
most prevent an honest and impartial
discharge of duty on the supreme bench,
In this respect the dignifed attitude of
Judge Reese stands out in marked con-
trast with that of Candidate Holcomb,
whose campaigning has degenerated
into an unseemly scramble for Office
with partisanship as the sole passport.

For the first time since the Australian
ballot law went into effect the city will
be compelled to rent polling places on
account of deficiency of voting booths.
The system of temporary voting booths
is certainly unsatisfactory, but it is the
best that has yet been devised for the
present conditions. Should we even
tually introduce the voting machine and
thus reduce the number of polling places
the hideous voting booth would be Il
thing OF le past. IT is 10 be hoped that
the vo,.ng machine Is not far of.

THE LO-VENEzUELAN AWARD

The compromise award in the bound
ary arbitration between England and
Venezuela is satisfactory to the former,
If we may judge from the expressions
of the leading English newspapers.
With one or two exceptions these re-
gard the result as giving England all
that could reasonably have been eX-
pected and one journal says that Great
Britain gets more than on various oc-
casions she had expressed herself as
willing to concede to Venezuela. 1t is
also generally regarded as valuable
contribution to the cause of arbitra-
ton, one paper remarking; "Ihe
award and the rapidity with which it
was rendered cannot fail to give a
strong impetus TO international arbi-
traton."
How it will be regarded in Venezuela
remains to be seen. That country is
now convulsed with revolution and ac-
cording to the latest advices a new gov
ernment may be installed there at any
time. Under the terms of the arbitra'
ton the award of the tribunal is bind
ing upon both governments, but it is
possible that a new government IN
Venezuela would not accept this. In
view of the fact, however, that the de-
cision of the tribunal of arbitration was
unanimous 1t is altogether probable
that Venezuela will abide by it. More
over, not TO do so would be an indig'
nifty TO the American citizens who rep
resented Venezuela in the arbitration
and through them to the United States

The report of the state examiners on
the condition of the Douglas county
treasury, just presented to the Board of
County Commissioners, IS a f1attering
showing of the affairs of that office and
reflects due credit upon the republican
treasurer and his assistants. This ex-
animation covers the period from Sep
tember 1, 1897, to June 80, 1899, in
elusive, in which the collections reach
the sum of $1,S62 ,215.19, while the
amounts dsbursed aggregate 81, $685.
515. .26, leaving a balance on July 1, 1899,
of $16S,699.93. The report adds: "The
work of examining this Office has been
very satisfactory, because of the excel
lent methods and the correctness Of the
records. The present system Of auditing
in this county renders inaccuracies al
most impossible, and this with the able

that the state examiners are all popo-

PLAN FOR SOLDIERS MONUMENT
MEETING HELD YESTERDAY IN
THE G. A. R. HALL.
Committee Appointed to Visit Red
Gross Women and Interest Them
In the Proposition.

A dozen ladies of the Red Cross So
ciety and the Woman's Relief Corps
of the G.. A. r. met with Major Ed
mund Wilkes and George Z. Cody in
G.. A. r. hall yesterday afternoon to
discuss plans for raising a fund with
which to build a monument to the
Utah volunteers who died in the SER
vice of their country. Mrs. Nellie Pal
mer was elected chairman and Mr..
Cody secretary.
Mrs. Palmer said that the object of
the meeting was not only to raise
money for the monument, but also to
raise cash with which to take care of
the lots donated by the Mount Olivet
Cemetery association as a burying
ground for the dead volunteers. She
thought the lots would need flowers,
sodding and other things to beautify
them.
Major Wilkes states that as secre-
tary of the cemetery association he was
prepared to say that his corporation
would assist the ladies in every posi-
BILE way. He suggested that 10000 cit
liens of Salt Lake be asked to con-
tribute 10 cents each to the monument
fund. Mrs. Palmer retorted with the
assertion that when a canvass was be-
gun she was afraid it would be dis
covered that there are not 10000 peo-
pie in Salt Lake with 10 cents worth
of patriotism
1t was finally decided to appoint
committee to visit all the Red Cross
women possible and secure their Coop
Grafton in the movement. The commit
tee was named as follows: Mrs. JEFF
fries, Mrs. Heath, Mrs. Slater, Mrs.
Hines and Major Wilkes. Another meet
ing is to be held Saturday afternoon at
8 o'clock.
