the cities are practically unac-
quainted with the hare meat, and |
that with all the talk of canneries |
and Belgian farms, there are few
meat stock raisers, and no reg
ular price. We all could spare a |
few culls each week for this pur-
pose. We must do it, or the
meat will continue to be much
talked of and little eaten, and in
time the enthusiasts themselves
will lose interest unsupported by
popular favor. Nobody will be-
lieve the meat is white without
seeing it; nobody will believe it
is of such fine texture and flavor
without tasting it, and nobody
will believe it is anything differ
ent from the common rabbit
without some practical demon
stration of it. It behooves us to
organize all over this state into
common effort to introduce the
meat in our localities, and to try
to arrange for shipping it to St.
Louis or Chicago. AS long as
country markets are isolated,
there is no regularity of price or
supply. Once connect them
with the great current of gen.
eral trade and regular sale slim
ulates production as we'll as con-
sumption.
We have suffered, we Belgian
breeders who are in this honora-
bic faith as a benefit to producer
and consum err. We have suffer-
ed from the unscrupulousness
of men who have told extraordi-
nary yarns about it, and who
have dishonesty sold poor stock
as fancy. We have suffered so
much from the selfish greed of
Belgian dealers that we ought to
make a stand against it, as
against this inaction which
| jeopardizes the future. l know
we have clubs and organization
already, but they do not seem to
unite US in way to inspire cou-
rageous effort in every possible
way to bring buyer and seller to-
gether frankly and honestly.
Each breeder ought to go the
full length of his faith towards
making the greatest number alike
and believe in us. Instead of
cheating or underselling, be
ought to apply the Golden Rule
with all possible cordiality. If
he has not faith enough in the
hare to seek the establishment
for this permanent element in
his breeding, be had better not
be in it. The hare will become
a permanent factor in the meat
problem of the future, but it
will be the generous and public
spirited who will put him there.
l should like to go into meat
raising alone, as I think it ought
to command more attention, and

such attention. This is not say

best for meat raising. Their
pelts are far handsomer-but
that is another story."-H. NJ.

opinion that it is destined to be-

royal Blacks.
The Blacks had long and up
hill pull for popularity, but they
got there through merit alone,
and there is no better fowl.
Some years ago I intended to
breed White Langshans, and
looked about for some ideal birds,
but found none that come up to
my idea of Langshan goodness.
There was a great deficiency in
right leg featbering, and many
we're more White Cochin than
Langshau. Those not feathered
on the middle toes like a Cochin,
had very sparse leg feathering.
These ware also deficient in leg
coloring, some having willowy
legs and yellow bottoms to feet
instead of pink,
An Ohio breeder, who had kept
White Langshans for several
years, had the best stock knew

birds. I copy from his reply as
follows:
"To be honest with you,
Davis, 1 don't think my Lang

because they are deficient in leg
feathering and coloring. In

What would you do? Please ad-

such great promise must not be.

INTERSTATE Law AMENDMENT.

Consideration of the bills that have
ing the Interstate IN law may be
expected soon and there appears to be
favorable prospect Of legislation in this
direction at the present session. That
there should be is believed by every
body except those railroad managers
who profess to think that the law as 1t
stands is sufficient and that the COM
mission is to blame for its non-enforce-
ment. These urge that the law does
not need amending, so as to give the
commission greater powers, but that all
that is required to render the law effect
i've is proper effort on the part of the
commission to enforce it On the other
hand. the shippers of the country, with
practical unanimity, demand that the
law be strengthened and the authority
of the commission increased.
There are important differences be-
tween the bill introduced by Senator
Elkins and the one introduced by Sena-
tor Nelson, the latter measure having
also been introduced in the house. The
Elklns bill represents the railroad ideas
IN the subject. while the other measure
expresses the ideas of the commercial
interests, having been prepared by the
executive committee of the Interstate
Commerce Law convention. This meas
ure prescribes two years as the time
within which the order Of the commits
sion shall be effective, whereas the
Elkins bill limits the time to one year,
which is hardly sufficient for proper
protection Of the public. The Elkins
bill provides that IN order of the com
mission shall be suspended pending pro.
eeedings in review in court unless other.

that the filing by the carrier OF a petir

the order for thirty days and that the
court may further suspend sucn order

The report of the Chicago stock yards
for the past year shows hat the number
Of head of stock handled as well as their
value was the greatest in the history of
the yards. The same is true Of all the
other great live stock centers. The cry
that there is a shortage Of stock does
not, therefore, appear to have any good
foundation in fact The added ability
of the people to consume, due to the
prosperous times, is the factor which
has been most potent In raising prices
and unless present conditions are re-
versed there is every prospect that the
growers of livestock will continue to
prosper because the people will be able
to buy even at the enhanced price.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATORS.

The question as to how the senate
shall punish the South Carolina sena-
tors will probably be decided by sub
jecting them simply to censure. This
seems a mild penalty for the outrageous
conduct of Tillman, for which there can
be NJ palliation, but as there is little
disposition to punish as the ofrense
would justify, either by suspension or
expulsion, and as 1t is absolutely nee
essary to the dignity and self-respect of
the senate that something be done, it
will doubtless be concluded that ~censure
will answer the purpose. In that case
the republicans contend that the rebuke
to Tillman should be more severe thar
that administered to McLaurin and fair
minded men generally will agree with
this.
PROFESSIONALLY the offense of Nc
Laurin, in characterizing as a lie the
statement made by Tillman imputing
corruption on the part of the former,
was serious, but 1t was mild in COM
parison to the personal assault made
by Tillman. That was an act which
to the last degree outraged the dignity
of the senateSa piece of rufianly
rowdyism characteristic of the man and
which was utterly d~isgraceful. 1t is to
be borne in mind that Tillman DELHI
erately provoked the trouble by repeat
Ing a charge which McLaurin had more
than once denied, thus the former was
plainly the aggressor and therefore de-
serves the more severe rebuke.
There is little t respect in either Of
the South Carolina senators. They are
no credit to their state and Of no great
consequence in their official capacity.
But in this latest exhibition of their hos
tility T1llman stands in a far worse
light than McLaurin.

THE PRINCIPLE OF COMPENSATION.


The most important feature of the
proposed extension Of the electric light
ing contract is it's recognition of the
principle of compensation to the city
for the franchise rights enjoyed by the
lighting company. Under its provisions
the new contract ~stlpulates for the
payment into the city treasury of a
royalty of 3 per cent of the gross reve-
luz derived from the sales of CONNER
cial lights to private in the
city. While the stipulation has a prece-
dent in the royalty clause of the gas
franchise contract, 1t is a distinct step
In advance in that 1t establishes the
principle of compensation as one of the
prerequisites in all future dealings be-
tween the city and the franchised cor
pOrations.
1t is only fair that the people of
Omaha should know that they owe to
Mayor Moores the application Of this
idea to the present adjustment Of the
electric lighting controversy. To the
mayors insistence that he would not
approve any extension that did not in
clude some measure Of compensation for
franchise rights is due the concession
pm the part of the electric lighting COM
pany. Whether 8 per cent is an ade-
quate compensation may be subject to
a difference Of opinion, but the admis-
sion of the principle of compensation at
all is the most notable achievement.
What a royalty on the revenues of
f%ranchised corporations mean can be
seen in Omaha's experience with the
gas franchise granted under Mayor
Bemis. This franchise provides for the
payment of a royalty of 3 cents on each
thousand cubic feet Of gas sold TO pri-
vate consumers. The contract has been
in force eight years and approximately
100000 has been turned into the city
treasury under it's terms. The 8 per
cent provided for in the proposed cleo
trio lighting contract Is substantially
equivalent to the 3 cents per thousand
cubic feet on the gas franchise contract.
The problem of the municipal fran
chises has not vet been satisfactorily
solved in our American cities, but the
sentiment has become general that
franchises are property rights from
which the public should gain some rev.
enue. Even those who believe that
municipal ownership and operation is
the final goal realize that the average
city like Omaha is not yet in a position
to undertake this work itself, and in the
interval the only proper course to pur-
u is through regulation and the en-
forcement of the principle of compensa-
ton. Omaha may now be considered
fairly In line with the modern trend of
thought on this subject

We are having a lesson in interna-
tional courtesy and good will which
promises to be fruitful Of benefits. In
deed 1t has already had a wholesome
effect upon German sentiment, as seen
in the now friendly expressions Of news
papers that were before hostile to this
country and persistent In their efforts
to create in Germany IN unfriendly
public sentiment toward this country.
We have shown the German people that
we are broad-minded and generous and
that our past assurances of friendship
were generous and sincere. That this
manifestation Of our hearty regard for
those people. of our high appreciation
Of their character and of our earnest
desire to perpetuate good relations will
be long remembered by them there can
not be a reasonable doubt.
And in all that has taken place in
connection with the reception Of Prince
Henry there is nothing u~nrepublican,
nothing inconsistent with the character
of our institutions. In showing proper
respect to the representative of a great
and friendly nation, here on a mission
of friendship, there is no homage paid
to royalty as such. The Germans are
proud of the Hohenzollerns, who have
been In no slight measure the creators
of the new Germany, and In doing
honor to a member OF that house we
honor the whole German people. Per
sonally, Prince Henry appears to be a
man In every way worthy Of respect
He conducts himself with notable good
sense and the sincerity Of his express
sions of friendship and good will is I'M
questionable. We believe all right
thinking Americans will approve what
was said by President Roosevelt in
thanking the prince for having taken
a step (which naturally must knit
closer together the two great nations
whose friendship means so much for
the future welfare Of the entire world"
That Germany and the United States
will better understand each other as
the result of Prince Henry's visit we
think can be reasonably assumed.
While we have shown In the strongest
possible way that we are heartily
friendly to the German nation. at the
anne time we have learned that the
United States has no more cordial
friend and well-wisher in Europe than
Emperor William. With both nations
anxious to cultivate friendship the con
tinuance indefinitely of the present good
relations seems assured.

Henry OF Prussia A right democratic
prince, with a true sailors affability and
frank address, he has shown an intuitive
perception Of the real nature Of his mis-
sion. This is simply that of the bearer
Of cordial greetings from one great nation
to another. Mystihed foreign observers
will not believe this, and even in England
the notion seems to be held that the prince
may quietly make a treaty with President
Roosevelt OF a sort to revolutionize inter-
national relations. Saying nothing of the
ludicrous misunderstanding involved In
this, 1t shows how incredible 1t is to a GER
tain order Of intellect that trouble should
be taken in the name of plain friendship.
But 1t is purely as a friend that the prince
comes, and only as such that he gets his
hearty welcome. And come to think Of
1t, this is really better and more significant
than any treaty or alliance. Instructive
sympathies and spontaneous good will can
not be reduced to writing or put into a
binding contract, but when they exist, as
they now do between Germany and the
United States, everything which serves
to emphasize and heighten them. as does
Prince Henry's visit, is an event to make
glad the heart Of all lovers OF peace.
