! ncnt that the vast proportions of our

mercc Justify the governmental care
! that such a department as is proposed
would give them and which II is be-
lieved would promote their further ad-
vancement. 1t is also urged that there
is absolute necessity in the interest of
greater efficiency, that the Treasury de-
partment should be relieved of a part
of the work it now performs and which
does not legitimately belong to that
branch of the executive department of
the government.
There is unquestionably force in these
contentious, but they do not conclu-
sively prove that new department is
absolutely needed, or that there would
be compensating benefits to the country
for the addition to the public eXpendi-
lures which would necessarily he in
volved. We have seen no estimate of
what the proposed new department
would cost, but there Is no doubt that
it would amount to considerable sum.
There is a very strong public sentiment
against any increase in the public ex-
penditures not imperatively required
and this feeling the party in power must
respect. There is another consideration
and that is the precedent. If there is
created a department of commerce and
industries there may follow a demand
for n department instead of Il bureau
of labor, department of marine in
stead of a bureau of navigation.
We have no doubt it is the general
public opinion that there are quite
enough departments already and that
there is no danger of any public in
terest suffering for want of new one

With but one month Of the calendar year
yet to be accounted for the exports Of bread

the four great American staples as a whole
promise to exceed those OF any former year
except 1898. or breadstuffs for eleven

The exports OF provisions reach Sl52,96l ,g2S,

Personal. AND OTHER WISE.

Remarks on 1.-The last Christmas OF the
nineteenth century will not be in order
this year.
The fact that General Gatacre's name does
not lend itself kindly to poetry is not now
so important as it was to the bards who
sing the praises of the victors.
Mrs. Langtry's husband has gone-or been
sent--to South Africa to fight the Beers. This
will remove temporarily. or perhaps per-
manently, all necessity of determining the
truth or falsity Of the report that the couple
were not happy in their married life.
One of New Yorks yellow journals having
declared that Senator Jones Of Nevada is
worth 100000, 900 the sage brush statesman
makes this declaration: "It is pleasant to
be rated as worth that amount, but If any
one will prove that my fortune is worth
one tenth that amount l will gladly give him
half the sum-"
BY ordering the sale of the Toledo Ma
tional Gas plant the city council Of Toledo
has put an end to the municipal ownership
plans of Mayor Jones OF that city. The
sale was made in face OF proposition from
a firm, presented through the mayor offering
to furnish gas to the city at a low rate ana
to turn over the plant free OF charge at the
end OF ten years.
Former Governor George W. Peck Of Wis
consin explains the story Of his ringing
fire alarm to get an audience by the state
ment that at the time he was in charge OF
a relief train to the starving miners al Hur-
ley, Wis. The laborers employed refused
to unload the cars unless they were paid In
advance, and Governor Peck rang a fire
alarm and when the crowd gathered made
a speech successfully asking for recruits.
When the American National bank at
Lima, O.. was mysteriously robbed a year
ago Of $4,000 no one was able to explain
how 1t happened and no one has since eX-
planned. The doors of the vault were found
open, but not marked or SCARED and the
time-lock clock was still going. The suit
brought by the board of directors against

cashier, in which negligence is charged to
the defendants, has just been decided in

british DIFFERENTIATION.

While the English people have been
intensely depressed by events in South
Africa and thereare anxiety and mourn.
ing in every portion of the United King.
dom, the determination to prosecute
the war has not abated and the general
voice Is that England shall employ every
resource, if needed, 10 conquer the
Beers. The patriotism and loyalty Of
the English people are being so mani.
tested as to command admiration,
whatever we may think of the cause
to which they are giving men and
money. There are influential men in
England who believe there was no jus.
tlfication for going to war and who be-
fore hostllities freely expressed their
opinion, but they are saying nothing
now that might embarrass the govern
mcnt. The leading newspapers are
unanimous in urging the government to
put forth it's greatest efforts. while
they appeal to the people not to lose
confidence. How long this feeling will
prevail in the event of a continuance of
reverses it is impossible to say, but the
proverbial British pluck and persistence
are not easily shaken and will with
stand much severer experiences than
those of the last week, bitter as they
were.
From the tenor of the newspaper COM
ment 1t would seem that the apprehen-
sion of foreign intervention has become
widespread though why this should
be so soon after the assurance given
by Lord Salisbury that there was no
such danger, because other countries
had no concern in the conflict, is not ap-
parent There. has been nothing in the
conduct of any country TO indicate a
desire or purpose to interfere and the
public expressions in Europe, partic-
ularly in France, unfrendly to England,
are not to be taken as rejecting the
views of the governments, which have
shown disposition to maintain n po-
sition of neutrality. Moreover, the time
is hardly opportune for Offering medi-
alton, with the Beers occupying British
soil and England on the defensive
Neither side would consider proposal
of mediation under existing conditions
When they are more nearly on equal
terms either or both may be willing to
do so.
Great Britain has an army of 10000
or 10000 in South Africa and it is evil
dent that double this number will be
necessary to conquer the Beers, who
have a much larger force in the field
A1n it was thought could be mustered
and decided advantage of position. 1t
is certain that British determination. as
well as British resources will be taxed
to the utmost.

"They Say"

j, Sterling MOTIONS NOnsCrVatIVc.
OF all the anonymous liars and slanderers
in the world, They Say" is the mcst sue
cessful potent and diabolcal The Conser-
vatiye notices that many members of the
newspaper guild, doing work in country
towns, are allured by They Say" into coca
sionally writing vituperative and calumniat-
ing articles about their neighbors. "'They
Say" STEPPED in malice, has caused more
hearts to ache and more homes to mourn
than any other modern method of slanderers
and liars. Decent men and women who wish
to make criticism of the character of their
fellows do so openly, squarely and take
the consequences. But the sneak and the
coward start the they say" style of slander
after all those whom they regard as their
betters and superiors-all those whom they
envy and hate because of their achieve

holiday SHOpPLNG.

The season of holiday shopping is
low, rich and poor, indulge themselves
to the extent of their means in the laud-
able ambition to make one another
happy with tokens of love and friend
ship. The holiday season, too, is the
season when merchants and shopkeep-
ers display their most attractive wares
and vie with one another in catering to
the patronage that Christmas-giving
stimulates.
1t must be gratifying to people who
live in and about Omaha to know that
nowhere are the retail merchants more
alert to their demands or more anxious
to please, and that this year they have
eXcelled all former endeavors in this
direction. 1t would indeed be an exact
ing taste that could not be completely
at the present time. No season of the
year gives such full scope TO the enter
prise of our business men, and the lib
eral patronage they are receiving shows
that their efforts are appreciated.
The holiday season affords an oppor-
tunity for the people to become ac
quainted with the resources of Omaha
establishments, and having once tested
them they should on New Years day
make solemn resolution to give them all
their trade from that time on. 1t is
needless to add that the most enter
prising and deserving merchant is him
self liberal patron of newspaper ad-
yertising and that intending purchasers
will consult their own best interests by
consulting the advertising columns of
