The attempt Of the fusion refOrmers
at Lincoln TO knock out the primary
election law by enjoining the registra-
ton officers from propounding to voters
the question relating 20 their party
affiliations has failed, as it ought to fail.
The plea Of the injunction petition,
which. by the way. was presented by
Chairman DeFrance Of the populist state
committee, urged that the enrolment Of
party preferences Is an invasion Of the
right Of free suffrage by prescribing an
additional qualification for voting. The
absurdity Of such argument is plainly
apparent from a reading of the law,
which leaves it entirely optional for the
voter to give his party a~ffillation or not,
as he sees fit. The penalty for refusing
to answer the question does not relate
to his right of suffrage at all, but to his
right to participate in his primaries, the
design being to confne participation to
avowed members Of the party and to
prevent men from voting at primaries of
all parties. The registration of voters
for primary elections is unquestionably
a distinct advance toward purity in
elections, and It Is surprising that the
f~usionists, who pretend to be committed
to reform, should endeavor through their
party machinery to destroy a substantial
reform accomplished with SO much ef-
fort. Nor is it clear what gain the flu
sionists could expect from the annul-
ment of the primary election law and
the return to the old system of party
nominations by brute force of repub-
leans, democrats and populists voting

v%entions.

cnMmlSSI0NER EY1NS RESIGNS.

Pension Commissioner Evans has
rendered his resignation, which it is an
nounced will not take effect until a posi-
ton in the diplomatic service is found
for him. President Roosevelt has been
persistently urged, as was his predeces-
sor, 20 remove Mr.. Evans, but this he
refused TO do, although 1t has been I'M
derstood for some time that the com
missioner would be replaced whenever
the president should be able to give him
another . satisfactory position. Mr..
Roosevelt has shown that he has entire
confidence in the ability and integrity
Of Commissioner Evans and that he re
CARDS him as entitled to a place In the
public service. He has therefore not
been Influenced by the pressure for the
commissioners removal and that official
will continue to perform his present
duties until he can be appointed to q
position in the diplomatic service, which
probably will be soon. Hhe course OF
the president in the case is highly com.
plimentary TO MIR. Evans.
The president Will have no difhculty
in finding candidates for pension com
missioner. AS soon as 1t became known
two weeks ago, that there vas probable
ity Of a vacancy in the office, severaI
men were suggested to the president
and he has doubtless heard Of more
since then. Now that a vacancy is AZ

THE CUBAN MESSAGE.

The message of President Roosevelt
recommending legislation to enable the
United States to maintain diplomatic
and consular representation in Cuba
when the new government shall have
been established there makes no specific
suggestion in regard to commercial re-
l%ations, but in the closing paragraph
the president speaks of broadening and
strengthening these relations, as we'll as
those Of a political character, Tin every
proper way by conventional pacts with
the Cubans and by wise and beneficial
legislation aiming to stimulate the COM
merce between the two countries, IL the
great task we accepted in 1898 is to be
fttingly accomplished" 1t is not diff
cult to interpret this as signlfying that
the president has not changed from the
position he stated in his message of
last December in regard to Cuba, when
he urged a substantial reduction in the
tariff duties on Cuban imports into the
United States. He then said that Cuba
having affirmed in her constitution what
we desired, I'VE are bound by every
consideration Of honor and expediency
to pass commercial measures in the in
terest Of her material well-being."
This President Roosevelt still insists
should be done, though it is the under
standing that he has not specifically in
dictated what he would regard as a sub
stantial tariff reduction, leaving that to
be determined by congress. 1t has
been assumed that the proposed 20 per
cent reduction approved by a majority
of the house republicans is acceptable
to the president and 1t is most probable
that he would approve legislation pro-
viding for such reduction. While the
president will undoubtedly adhere to
the opinion that something must be
done for the commercial and industrial
interests of Cuba, he is DESTROYS of find
ing a way to harmonic the republicans
in congress on this question and with
this In view has had conferences with
both the opponents and advocates of
tariff concessions to Cuba. So far as
appears he has not yet been able to
make any impression upon the former,
though a suggestion of compromise has
been made in the proposition to remove
the differential duty on refined sugar
This, however, has not met with much
favor.
The recommendations Of the Cuban
message congress will doubtless comply
with, but whether or not what Is i'm
piled in the concluding paragraph will
have any effect upon the question OF
tariff concessions is p~roblematical. The
coming week will probably bring a test
Of strength on the question in the house
with what result cannot nov be con
hdently predicted.

THE PROPOSED NEW DEPARTMENT.

PROPOSED NEW DEPARTMENT.
The senate some time since passed
the bill providing for the creation Of a
department OF commerce and labor. The
house has not yet considered the
measure, though hearings in regard to
ii were begun a few days ago before
the committee on commerce. 1t would
seem that congress is not in need Of any
further information respecting the prop
osition. The business interests of the
country that ask for the new depart
ment have set forth al fully as possible
the reasons for regarding 1t as neces-
sary. The president of the National
Manufacturers association, which has
been for several years urging such a
department, told the house committee
that the magnitude of the manufactur-
ing interests of the country would seem
to entitle them to representation in the
cabinet and in the executive depart
ments. He pointed to the fact shown
by the last census that during the year
ended June /, 1900, the products of the
manufacturing establishments of the
country exceeded in value $13, 000,000,-
600. The manufacturing interests of the
United States, he said, exceed in volume
and Importance the industrial interests
of any nation in the world, yet we have
no department or bureau, as other IN
dustrial countries have, specially
charged with duties relating directly to
these interests.
Moreover, our manufacturing interests
are steadily growing, thus strengthening
from year to year the demand for a de-
partment of the character proposed. II
these great interests would be bene-
flied, as the men engaged in them and
are best qualified to Judge say they
would, by the establishment Of a de-
partment of m and labor, there
should be no hesitation in providing it.

The club women at the Nebraska cap
ital propose TO push their campaign for
municipal establishment by offering a
series Of prizes for the handsomest and

take place after the summer season is
concluded. 1t ought not to be necessary
to put up a reward for people to beau
tify their own premises, inasmuch as
they themselves reap the chief benefit,
but since self-interest does not always
prove a sufficient stimulus, this plan
may produce good results. 1t is a hint,
at any rate, for the Omaha club women
who are working to the same end.

IMMIGRATION sCARECROw.
Inconsistency of the Sons of Former
immigrants.

New Bedford Mass.) Standard.
A labor organization located in this city
has endorsed a resolution reciting that 'the
immigration of cheap labor from the south
and east of Europe is a menace to the
American standard Of living" etc, Fifty
years or so ago other organizations, COM
posed chiefly OF ~workingmen, were passing
resolutions in similar language protesting
against immigration from other parts Of
Europe. Now the descendants of the men
and women who were then the object Of
attack are in turn adopting the same tao
tics against people whom they regard as
inferior. Fifty years hence, we suppose,
the descendants Of the Hungarians and
Italians and Bohemians whose incursion is
now looked Upon with fear will be protest
ing against the immigration Of other races
who will then be "a menace" 1t is a fact
that the bringing together Of men and
women Of many races under one form Of
government has produced one Of the great
est and most perplexing problems Of social
and political and economic life that the
world has ever seen. But so far IL has
been proved that the worst evils are the
evils which are anticipated, yet never come.
Every generation has it's scarecrows, and
often the scarecrows are inherited. We
think in large measure this is the case with
the immigration scarecrow, as Is evidenced
by the recurrence Of the same old resolu-
tions with new excuses.

e OF SPRING.

Barton Adams in Denver Post
The Queen stands at the gate,
Tho Queen Of spring,
And seems to hesitate
To come and bring
Her birds and flowers and bees,
For winters breath
Yet fingers n may freeeze
Her pets to death.
But loon her smile so warm
VIII melt the frost,
Her motherly alarm
Be from her tossed;
She'll deck the lawns and trees
With living green.
Breathe balm into the breeze,
The gracious Queen;
She'll paint the timid flowers
With heavenly hues
And strew the Vernal bowers
With gems profuse,
Her hand will tint the skies
A charming blue,
And from their unseen eyes
Bring freshening dew
As livening tears to fall
Upon the earth
And mystically call
The seeds to birth.
That lazy feeling she
VIII give mankind
Till screwed up faces we
All walk behind.
Our maidens' cheeks she'll flush
With bloom twill take
The cookie from the blush
The chemists make.
She'll cause the signing one
As birds to mate
And start Ike Walton's sons
To dig for bait.
She'll bring us hats OF straw
And circus socks,
And place within paw
The beer that books.
These, and a thousand more
Rich blessings she
Will lay beside our door
With hand most free.
Hence, as a mighty throng,
Wen rise and sing
That grand old welcome song:
Hail, Gentle SPRING."

COST OF wELL-DEFINED RUMoRs.

COST OF WELL-DEFINED RUMoRS.
When Willard Fillmore Funkhouser
mesmerized the Board of Education into
adopting a resolution invoking the dis
trict court to call a grand jury to in
vestigate so-called well-defned rumors,
The Bee ventured the prediction that
the move would result in loading the
county down with several thousand dol
lars of unnecessary costs that could
just as well be avoided by inducing the
county prosecutor to file informations
against all parties implicated in any
criminal offense. The sequel fully sus-
tains the position taken by this paper.
The session OF the grand jury has cost
the county $4,2S9.SO, and the expenses
incurred in subsequent prosecution has
added upwards Of $1,000 to this outlay.
While no one could foresee or f~oretell
the judicial ruling by which all the
work of the grand jury has been nulli-
fed, it was well known from the outset
that the street rumors upon which alone
the demand for a grand jury was based
had no substantial foundation. The
w~ell-defned rumors however, served
their purpose in furnishing capital for
the reelection of Willard Fillmore
Funkhouser, and the voters of both sexes
who were credulous enough to believe
that they were rallying to the support
Of a great reformer have had their eye
teeth ut. They have succeeded in
saddling themselves as taxpayers with
$1,000 to $4,000 Of debt without any
thing to show for 1t.
