Omaha, Neb., Sept. 1.-THE contin-
uous downpour of rain which has
fallen throughout the state for the
past 70 hours has caused serious loss
and in many places impeded railway
and other traffic. The water in the
Republican and Beaver rivers was
higher than in 20 years, and the rain
fall reached ~ inches at BARLEY,
Neb., where there was well nigh 3
cloudburst. In the Beaver valley,
near McCook, the roadbed was
washed badly in score of places and
several bridges were carried away.
Trains on the Orleans branch of the
Burlington were annulled west OF
Danbury Monday night on account Of
washouts and the Republican river

Of the approach to the railroad
bridge over that river at BARLEY was

THE DANISH ISLANDS.

The report that our government has
acquired the Danish West indies, or
rather that the Danish government mas
decided to accept "the terms offered
by the United States has not been
officially denied, and the Impression
seems to be growing that some kind OF
transaction has actually taken place.
Negotiations for the purchase Of these
islands have been carried on with more
ar less interruption since 1865, when the
Danish minister in Washington was
given to understand that the United
States would like to buy the property.
The value Of the island OF ST. Thomas
as coaling station had been demon
strated during the Civil War, when it
was seen that but for the permission to
coal there, the United states would not
have been able to maintain her cruisers
in the Caribbean sea, Denmark, how
ever. refused to sell them, out Of defer
ence to the wishes Of the European
powers The price offered at that time
was 100000.
Later the offer was increased 10
81. 5OO. 900 for two Of the islands. and this
was accepted. provided the inhabitants
would not object. In 1865 a vote was
taken. on the Island OF st. John not
one vote was cast against annexation,
and on ST Thomas there were only
twenty three adverse votes. The peo-
pie, believing that annexation was an
accomplished fact, hauled down the flag
Of Denmark and raised that Of the
United States. Bells were rung and
bonfires lighted the Stars and Stripes
we're everywhere and the people were
singing Hail. Columbian and Admiral
Porter with a fleet was ready 20 take
possession. When the election returns
were certified to Copenhagen the rigs
dag ratified the treaty and the king
signed II. The sale was not consum-
mated, however. The treaty was re-
ferred 10 the Senate committee on for
elgn affairs. and in 1870 It was reported
adversely.
The reasons for acquiring those ISL
ands az the present time are UNDER
stood to be entirely their strategic
value to this country. The three Islands
have an area Of only 1872 square miles,
md 70 600 Inhabitants But 81 Thomas
has one Of the finest harbors and It is
thought unsafe to let this pass into the
hands Of any OF the great militant
powers Of the world II they are need
ed for the defense Of the country, or it's
commercial interests 100000 is not an
exorbitant price, though the Islands for
years have been a source Of expense to
the home government.

ACTION Is REQUIRED.

The action taken by the Ministerial
association In reference to the Sunday
liquor traffic, is commendable. That
body is in accord with the Sunday
School Union, In demanding the en-
foroement OF the laws forbidding the
sale OF lntoxlcants on Sundays. This, as
that association points out, is no new
movement on its part. and no new ex-
preston OF It's sentiments. II is plees-
Ing TO see that amount OF unity OF feel
ing and action among religious people.
We take II that the ministers reflect
and voice the opinions OF their respee-
tive congregations on this subject.
While the City Council has the mat
ter In contemplation, II would be prop
er TO make provisions which would aid
in rendering the ordinance effective. n

20 require the closing OF saloons and
the raising Of blinds on Sundays. so
that the officers could see into those
places and discover whether or not the
law was being respected That Is the
rule in many cities In this country, and
n the Council means business, or the
closing OF the Sunday liquor buslness.
II might be just as well to adopt this
regulation.
The idea that officers sworn to en-
force law, should wait to be commanded
by q legislative body before they will
do their sworn duty is something new
in municipal procedure. IL shows a
condition OF affairs that needs peremp-
tory rectifcation. It is burlesQue on
