Colonial Exposition at Omaha Ready for
Visitors on Opening Day.
THOUSANDS VISIT GREAT SHOW
Grand Street Pageant Marches
Through Streets Of City and Into the
Exposition Gfounds-A Great and En-
thusiastio Gathering Oh Independence
Day.

The first Greater America Colonial
Exposition was duly inaugurated on
the morning of July 1, when q grand
street pageant marched through the
streets Of Omaha and out to the beau
tiful grounds, where the formal exer-
cises were held. Large crowds of Wis
itors are daily testifying to the sue
cess achieved and are paying deserved
compliments to the magnificent results
achieved. The buildings are rapidly
filling with splendid collection of ex-
hibits and large force of men are
working day and night to put ex-
hibits in place. The ground deccra-
lions are far more beautiful than those
of last year and nothing is lacking to
please, instruct and entertain those
who visit the great Exposition.
The agricultural feature Of the
Greater America Exposition is re-
ceiving much more than the usual at
tentiOn accorded this department at
expositions. Instead of the bronze
medal and silver cup the exposition
management has decided to pay cash
premiums to all counties that make a
creditable showing of farm products.
In order that the spirit Of this enter
prise be of recognized value to exhib-
itors there has been set aside $4,000
to be divided into twenty-five prizes,
to be awarded to the twenty-five coun-
ties scoring the highest in quality of
collective exhibits. These prizes are
graduated from four hundred to one
thousand dollars each. In addition to
the above there is an additional Iro-
vision for all other counties making
displays, which is, that no county shall
receive less than two hundred dollars
cash award if its display is of recog-
nized merit.
The importance of a large and full
display of agricultural products is rec
ognized by every one at all familiar

instructive feature, and its like will
probably not be seen for many years
to come, if ever again. 1t will afford
an opportunity for chronological study
not to be lightly passed by.
One of the browning features of the
exposition will be the electrical IL
Elimination. The display of last year
was conceded to be the most effective
ever arranged, and that las been vast
ly improved upon. The exposition will
be grand and beautiful by day, but
when darkness spreads its sable wings
then will fairy city spring into exis-
tence, each outline defined. each tow
er and minaret clear cut and brilliant
with myriad flashing stars OF chang
ing, shimmering lights. Last year 3d.
600 electric lights were used in the
illumination of the court of honor;
this summer $4,000 lights will flash
and CLEAN from cornice and from arch,
from balustrade to lofty spire, from
pillared colonnade to gilded dome
reared high in air.

A valiant Cuban whose blood re-
belled against the American occupation
assembled himself the other day and
went up and down the highways OF
Santiago province, seeking warriors to,
join him in a tremendous insurrection.
After a weeks travel, having found
not one hostile in the province. he
came in, surrendered his rifle. took his
SIS, and asked and obtained a job at
working on the road for 81 day. The
late insurgents are evidently showing
good sense and sound judgment all
along the line.

The widespread interest which the

place in the list of attractions. Ar

WHAT WILL Bic DONEf

The disgraceful episode of the traffic
in public office conducted by two leading
Republican officials as they might con-
duct a transaction in real estate has, it is
pleasant to record, aroused the latent
sense of public decency of this commu-
nifty. The transaction. looked at from
any point of view involved bribery Or an
attempt at bribery, unless both of the
participants are being lied about most
egregiously by their own party friends
and followers.
The question at once arises, what are
you going to do about it? The grand
jury, differed by that stalwart Repub-
lican statesman, Legislator Schurman,
has passed out of existence, fortunately,
we think. for the cause of public morality
in connection with this transaction. This
affair is certainly of sufficient public i'm
portance to make the calling of a special
grand jury to consider it a matter Of
grave consideration by the proper au-
thorities.
Practically every department of munich
pal administration is in the control Of
the Republican machine in this city.
Every string that the INSCRIPTIONS poiit-
zeal clique now in control can pull will
be pulled to prevent any criminal inves-
tigation into the affair. The prosecuting
officer in this county is a Republican.
His assistant is also Republican, deeply
~,
chinery. Mr.. Bigelow is, we believe an
upright young man. He has his future
to make in his profession, as we'll as Of
ficially. This lamentable transaction
for it is lamentable to reflect that such
state of political ethics could be found
prevalent in such quarter-gives Mr..
Bigelow an opportunity such as rarely
falls to the lot of so young a man. VIII
he rise to that opportunity? Will he
show that his brief touch with low ward
| politics has incapacitated him from the
discharge of the higher class of official
duties, or will he show that he stands by
the full scope and intent of his oath Of
office?
The people of this city are intently
watching every man connected, directly
or indirectly, with this transaction. They
demand the fullest investigation of its
details and the punishment of any public
crime that may be found involved, even
If it carries with it the prosecution of
the chief executive officer of this COM
munity They will be guided In their
hnal conclusion as to the real character
of Republican local administration by the
sequel to the extraordinary disclosures of
official business which have just been
made. rs' - s..-s

overcome the petty hostility which Can
ada has manifested to her own discredit
The two nations concerned ought sure
ly to reach an amicable conclusion as to
the mere minor difficulties existing re-
garding the questions which are before
the commission for adjustment. Any
scheme of arbitration which will place
both interests on an equality will be &C
ceptable to our people. We can afford
to be generous We can afford to ignore
the preposterous demands of the Can
adam politicians If Britain cam. With an
international peace congress in session
at The Hague, the American nation, as
the great peace advocate of International
arbitration, can yield greatly. rather than
have the mission of the commission fail.

the Metropolitan with the performance
tonight. This will be the last opportunity
to see Mr.. Mansfield as Cyrano In this
city. The sale of seats is large for this
performance, but there are still plenty
of good seats to be had, and no one need
miss it on account of lack of room.
Sporting Life begins a return engage
ment of four nights and Saturday matt

morrow night. The success of this thrill
ing melodrama on its first visit Is an in
dication Of the business to be expected for
the last half of this week. 1t is unques-
tionably the strongest play of this kind
that has ever visited st. Paul. The char
acters are all real people, and act as peo-
pie in everyday life act. To those who
consider the characters and scenes over

morning will reveal the fact that there
are stranger facts Unreal life than in any

sports all are combined and crystallized

PUT THEM UNDER GROUND.

A recent decision of the federal supreme
court denying to telephone companies the
right to erect their poles on the public
thoroughfares is likely to have far
reaching effect in the future. 1t has been
generally assumed that the right enjoyed
by the telegraph concerns in this direc-
ton was shared in by the telephone COM
panies This view the supreme court de-
clares to be wrong. on the principle that
the law granting the privilege to the tel
egraph companies was enacted before The
invention of the telephone, and that such
concerns not being specified in the law
as among those entitled to exercise the
privilege cannot have it extended to them
without the direct intervention of con-
gress
The movement toward compelling tele-
phone and telegraph concerns to bury
their wires has been gaining force of
late years. In certain of our largest
cities the requirement is insisted on, ard
is being generally fulfilled so far as it
applies to telephone wires. There ought
to be no discrimination between the two
lines of industry in this respect. The
public schedule of charges made by the
telegraph companies for their service is
sufficiently high to make the demand ap-
ply to them without reservation, at least
within city limits.
There are few objects more unsightly
than the telegraph pole. Apart entirely
from the dangers which are shown to ex-
list to the public safety in the maintenance
of such poles. they are in every sense a
public obstruction.
1t would seem entirely unjust to the
telephone concerns to deny them the
right to string their poles as the tee-
graph companies do in the transaction Of
their long distance business; and no
doubt there will be no disposition on the
part of state or local authority to deny
them this privilege. But it would be good
public policy to remove from the federal
statutes any authority express or implied
which they may afford for the mainte-
nance without local authority of their
poles on city streets.

CANADIAN FOLLY.

The attitude of the Canadian politicians
toward the United States in the effort to
promote the adjustment of all existing
differences between the United States
and British North America through
medium of the international COM
mission will not occasion surprise among
those of our people who have kept in
formed on Canadian affairs for some
years past. The old spirit of ,Toryism,
which found its home in Canada after our
own successful revolution, has shown it
self from generation to generation for
over 100 years. Jealousy, born of back
wardness in the race for commercial
supremacy on this continent, has inten-
sified this feeling. Excepting alone the
comparatively small class who accept
the doctrine of manifest destiny.'' Can
bitterly hostile to the United States Re-
ciprocity in the minds of the Canadian
people means a one-sided arrangement
which will enable Canadian industries
to make Roadway against American com
petition. Never at any time since the
repeal of the reciprocity treaty of 1854
has the Canadian government occupied
any position save one of unfriendliness
toward this country and it's industries.
Our political difficulties have been magni-
fed on the other side of the boundary
line; our national characteristics have
been exaggerated into national evils; and
the Tory press of Canada has outdone the
press of the British metropolis in it's
abuse and Misrepresentation of the
American people.
The insistence of the Canadian people
or politicians ought not to be effective
in wholly destroying the possibilities of
good work on the part of the commission.
The Dominion is but a mere dependency

tary for the colonies will find way to

TAKE THEM OR wrTHpR.w

A year has passed and gone since our
Asiatic squadron. under the command of
Admiral Dewey, steamed into Manila har-
Dor and in few hours destroyed the
fleet of Spain. That event was followed
up at once by events which freed the
city of Manila from Spanish control. The
period has passed, too, for which the
United States urged the enlistment of
volunteer soldiery, and the men are soon
to return to their respective homes.
Spain has been conquered, Cuba has been
freed, Porto Rico is virtually Incorporated
into the Union. Still we are at war with
band Of semi-savages in the Philippines,
and all our victories have thus far
eventuated in the announcement that we
will need a much larger force than we
have yet had in arms for the effectual
subjugation of the Filipino natives.
This surely is a strange outcome of
practically years effort to take possess
sion and control of the Philippine archi-
pelago. Some months ago the announce
ment was made that at least 100000 troops
would be necessary for the effectual queIl-
ing of the Filipino rebellion against our
authority. This was followed by the ac
ton of our Republican congress in re-
organizing the American army. This in
turn was followed by absolute silence and
inaction as to the intention of the admin
iStr9 tiOn repa rdin0 tho vOIrp+aare x,,booo
terms had expired, and whose discharge
was brought about purely by force Of
an adverse public sentiment Then came a
period of increased activity on the part
of the Philippine peace commission, &C.
companied by daily announcements that
Aguinaldo's followers were demoralized
and were disbanding. We drew up and
presented to these people an approved
plan of government which was to pre-
vail for their benefit when they laid down
their arms We had captured several
Filipino strongholds, including the Fill
pino capital. These strongholds in many
cases we withdrew FROM and they were
reoccupied by the insurgents, because
as We were assured we had not enough
troops to occupy them, and because 1t
was intended to demonstrate to the ma
tives what peaceful intentions were ours
Whereupon we set ourselves to the re-
capture of those same positions.
Thus has the military and political
game Of see-saw gone on, and now the
rainy season offers to view a period Of
enforced inactivity in military operations
The Filipinos, if the recent dispatches
are true, are as far from laying down
their arms as they were at the beginning
and death, bloodshed and deprivation
have been the lot of our men in the
Philippine trenches.
What does it all mean, anyway? When.
If ever, is 1t going to come to an end?
Is it game of politics or a game of
bluff we are playing over in the Orient?
Is it the purpose to have the Filipino sur
render take place about the time the
imperial administration seeks public in
dorsement?
We have made UP our minds to take
control of the Philippines without regard
to the wishes of the natives of the ISL
