4 POLICY OF RETALIATION.

Statements are made which seem to
have authority that the secretary OF
agriculture is not content to permit Ger
many TO continue her tariff discrimina-
tions against the food products of the
United States without making an effort
to set this country right. The matter
was presented before the cabinet at a
recent session and the action of the
German government was discussed, the
opinion expressed by the secretary OF
agriculture being that the policy con-
templated by the German government is
not Justified by the facts.
The view Of the secretary Of agricul-
ture is, and 1t will doubtless meet with
the general approval of the business in
terests of the country, that it is about
time the United States had taken some
means of defending it's interests. 1t is
pointed out that the allegations Of Ger

chemicals are used In American meats

MOVE IN RIGHT DIRECTION.
Efforts Making to Increase P~RsturaEe
in the West.
Portland Oregonian.

Portland Oregonian.
The question OF securing better or more
nearly adequate pasturage for the increasing
hocks and herds of the middle west is at
tracing serious consideration and engaging
careful experts in experiment. The federal
government has taken 1t up and experiments
looking to this end are now being carried
on In Harper county, Kansas, for the pur-
pose Of determining what can be done to-
ward making buffalo grass grow thicker on
the pasture land of the state. Buffalo grass
Is the most nutritious of the native grasses
Of the western plains, but 1t does not sod
like blue grass, growing instead in punches
and spots. In the culture of alfalfa II has
been discovered that the use of disks, which
cut and stir the top OF the soil separate
the roots and bring out the alfalfa thick
and strong where 1t had before been thin
and weak. A suggestion that this method
be applied to buffalo grass was made to the
government, and upon it a number of ex-
perts are now working. IT is stated that
these experiments have proceeded far
enough to demonstrate the feasibility of
the plan, the success OF which, if it is
successful, will be of immense value to
cattle owners throughout the prairie regions
of the west. Deterioration Of the ranges
from wasteful and careless grazing during
the last twenty-five years has become a
menace to the stock interests OF the coun-
try. It has set the cattle and sheepmen
at war. and ~inaugurated a crusade of ex-
termination against range horses that. dur
ing the period Of depression in the horse
market, incident to the boom with which
the electrical age came In, were allowed
to breed and roam at will over the country.
II now requires a much larger area to pas
ture a given number of cattle or sheep than
formerly. To restore natures bounty in re-
spect to the native grasses is greatly de-
sired, since in many OF the more arid re-
gions these grasses only can be depended
upon to furnish pasturage. Irrigation and
cultivation insure enormous yields of al
falfa and other forage plants. but as far as
the pasturage OF the great ranges is con-
cerned, the native grasses are those upon
which the stockman depends for grazing.
Man, when he comes in touch with ma
lures bounty, is proverbially a wastrel.
The denuded pine forest areas of the coun-
try; the practical determination of black
walnut and hickory timber; extinction OF
the buffalo and the impoverishment OF ma
tive pasture lands-all tell the same story
that Of carelessness and greed In handling
this bounty. 1t is encouraging, therefore,
to note that the spirit Of reparation Is
abroad, seeking to make good as far as
possible, on a commercial basis, the losses
induced by this willful waste, before it leads
to ''woeful want"

A PROMPT APOLOGY.

Exception has beer taken to the COM
ment made by The Bee concerning the
political summersault of w. Kelly, who
was quoted in a democratic paper OF
South Omaha as a leading republican
who proposes to vote the democratic
city ticket. Mr.. Kelly was quoted as
saying:
/ am not a politician, have nothing to
fear in expressing my views, am not paid
for IL and no promises of any kind have
been made.
The intimatlon INDUCED in by The
Bee that the flop Of w. Kelly was pre-
cipitated by the defeat of A. X. Kelly
for a denomination for mayor seems to
have given serious ~offense. The Bee
hastens to make humble apology and
pleads in Justification the following ex-
tract from a letter received at this or
fee from South Omaha;
The Mr.. w. Kelly mentioned in the dem
ocratic sheet is a brother OF A. Il. Kelly
| the disgruDtled and soon to be defunct
mayor OF South Omaha. He has been car
ried on the payroll of the. city for over
eighteen months at the rate OF $40 a month
He is supposed to be special agent OF the
legal department Of the city. City attor-
ney Lambert says that during all this time
Kelly did nothing but watch the bucket
shops in Omaha and play the markets for
A. r. Kelly.
Citizens of South Omaha will sympa-
thize deeply with both the Kellys over
their prospective divorce from the pie
counter, but we doubt whether they
will be Influenced in their choice of
Mayor Kelly's successor by the un
bought convert to the democratic city
candidates. They are not likely to go
so far as to sacrifice their hope Of good
government in order to avenge the
grievances OF the Kellys.

POLITICS OF THE FUSION BRAND.

Stanton Pickett (rep.): Mr.. Allen, who
once upon a time was senator from Me-
braska. now knows how the a~nti-fusion
populists felt when he was helping to weld
the links to form the chain which bound
that party irretrievably to democracy.
Ord Journal (pop.): The Trenton Leader
launches the name of r. o. Adams OF the
Grand Island Democrat as q candidate for
lieutenant governor. Adams is all right and
the Journal is not only willing but would
be pleased to support Mr.. Adams for that
once.
Wayne Herald (rep): According to tn,
recent decision Of the Judge in the Meserve
trial at Omaha, state treasureTs can loan
school funds to banks on the side and
pocket the interest or perform most any
old act and crawl out through a small knot
hole. There is evidence on every hand that
the laws OF Nebraska need fixing almost
as much as the ex-state treasurers.
Winside Tribune (dem.): We are calmly
and patiently waiting for ex-senator Allen
to express his views in regard to the re-
nomination of his fellow townsman, genial
John Robinson, for congress. 1t has been
darkly limited that Vim. V. would accept
that nomination, but we would never believe
1t IL IL were not for the remembrance OF
tnhL ola appointment uedl When Nc 30 COOtly
knocked out all democratic a%spirants for
the senate.
Stanton Register (pop.): Taking the
press as a criterion, then there is no oppo-
sition among the fusionists to the nomina-
ton OF John Sprecher for governor in the
Third district. His ability, sound Judgment
and absolute fairness is known to all, while
his anti-moBopoly record has made him a
strong candidate with the rank and file. To
nominate John c.. Sprecher for governor
means to place in the executive chair an
energetic, fearless young man, who would
not deviate one iota from the path Of right.
Rushville Recorder (rep):. The recent
revelations in the MeserYe trial is only an
other indication that our constitution needs
revising and something ought to he done
to more effectively stamp out the rogues
and thieves that seem to be bred In all
political parties in this state. The pres
emit condition of things is intolerable and
only subjects rlght-minded citizens to hu-
initiation on one hand, and contempt for
state institutions on the other. In our
opinion the Meserve trial discloses the
most absurd state Of affairs we have any
conception OF in a well-governed state.

With the advent Of April tree planting
will be in order, but planting trees that
are not adapted to our soil and climate
is a waste of energy and money. This
also applies to the proposition to plant
soft naples on the streets of Omaha
that need shade trees. Experience
with soft naples has been that they
grow too rapidly and in a few years be-
come a nuisance. Hard naples, though
of slower growth, have proved more
satisfactory in every respect.

PASSING OF THE WAR TAXES.
Significance of the Measure substan-
tally Agreed To by Congress.
PHILADELPHIA Record.

Philadelphia Record.
As passed by the federal senate, the war
tax repeal bill substantially re-enacts the
schedules OF internal taxation in force be-
fore July, 1898, when congress was called
upon to provide for an enormous war eH-
pense account. Nothing is left OF the
special and stamp taxes, save only the ex-
else on bucket shops"-and this, too,
might as we'll nave been swept away, so
far as government necessity is concerned,
1t remains. however, like the mixed -four"
provision OF the revenue reduction act, as a
sort of statutory protest against specula-
tive and industrial thimblerigging.
It is not likely that the notifications
made in the law by the senate will en-
counter sufheient opposition in the house
to lead TO the appointment Of a conference
committee. The lower branch will accept
the senRte's changes, and thereafter, fol-
lowing the executive signature. federal tax
alton will be levied upon q peace basis. So
enormous has been the increase In recent
years OF the tax-bearing capacity OF the
people that only IN a comparatively few eX-
cise-ridden branches Of industry will the
change in the law operate distinctively as
a measure OF relief. Increasing dutiAble
imports are yielding ever larger revenues
to the public, treasury. while q few articles,
the use OF which il largely voluntary, will
after June 30 next AFFORD a basis for a rate
Of internal taxation lower than that in force
in any other civilized nation. The money
not needed for expenses Of government will
remain in the pockets OF the people, adding
vitality to national commerce and power to
Industrial enterprise.
The benehceht results OF this cessation
Of a constant public drain should be imme-
diate and noteworthy. Freedom from taxa
tion means expansion in every branch OF
material advancement. In the close and
exacting economies of modern competition
a stamp tax very often represents so much
loss and curtailment Of production. But
