A Gracious Act.
n2-- D--


A more gracious act 1t would be difacult
to conceive than that credited to the British
cabinet in deciding to offer Dom Paul
Kruger safe conduct back to his native
land and to permit his residence there
without compliance with the stipulation Of
the peace settlement requiring an oath Of
allegiance to the British crown.
Although the venerable president Of the
ex-republic is bent and broken in health as
a result OF the terrible ordeal through
which he has passed. he is still the idol Of
his people and could undoubtedly influence
them to the serious detriment of the new
government should he be so disposed. His
years are numbered. doubtless-perhaps his
months may be-but so long as he lives
there is not q Boer patriot who would not
proudly follow him, even to the death.
By reason Of this fact the British pro-
posal receives still deeper emphasis in its
broad humanity, and is raised above the
possibility of suspicion Of cheap and I'M
worthy motive.
The consummation Of the act will add
new glory to the empire and to modern
civilization.

Nesting against the base Of verdsnt
hills and with the North Loup river flowing
at its feet, site Ord, county seat Of VAL

healthful and happy city. From its seat

Your first impression Of the city is the
beauty of It's location. A closer look tells
you Of its other claims to beauty. There is
a fine courthouse located in a little park
filled with thrifty trees, with its sward we'll
watered and neatly kept; a fine high school
building, substantial business buildings Of
brick and stone, handsome residences with
blue grass lawns cared for with scrupulous
care.
But ord's chief pride is the fact that II Is
a city of business activity. Ask any trav-
cling mar to name a few Of Nebraska's
best business points and he will invariably
name Ord as one Of them. There are rea-
sons for its prosperity. 1t is the county

VIEWS OF TIE SCIENTISTS.

Interesting contributions are being
made to the discussion of h inter
oceanic canal question by the scientists.
Prof. Hill of the United States geo
graphical survey, who went to Marti-
nique as the representative of the Ma
tional Geographical society, and Prof.
Heilprin, WHO has achieved worldwide
distinction by his daring investigations
Of the Mont Pelee volcano, agree In the
opinion that the Nicaragua canal route
is unsafe. Both assert that Nicaragua
is in the same volcanic chain as Mont
Pelee and that there is sympathy be-
tween the volcanoes Of Central America
and the Caribbean sea. Prof. Hill said
in a recent interview that certainly
no canal should be built within the i'm
mediate range of this chain" and he
thought the Panama route preferable
on account of it's freedom from the re-
gion of volcanic activity and its removal
from the area of seismic disturbance.
On the other hand, Prof. MCGEE, vice
president of the National Geographical
society, is of the opinion that Heilprin
overestimates the danger to either route
from volcanic action and earthquakes
and says he is inclined to think that the
danger from volcanic action is less along
the Nicaragua route than along the
| Panama route, by reason OF various
| geographic conditions. Prof. Haupt
who was a member of the 1sthmian
| Canal commission, is of the opinion, ac-
| cordinR to a late interview, that the
| Panama route is as dangerous as the
| Nicaragua route. He said: Consider
| ing the dangers of the Nicaragua route,
in my opinion they are no greater than
those which threaten the Panama n
The latter route is directly In the line OF
the earthquake disturbances, which have
greatly damaged the Panama railroad.
The Nicaragua route is more exempt
from earthquakes. Considering the con
ditions, however, the Nicaragua lin Is
more in danger from volcanic dust thar
from earthquakes and the Panama rout
is more in danger from earthquakes
than from volcanic dust, SO the dangers
are about equal"
This difference of opinion among
scientists Of eminent ability and high
professional standing, who must be pre-
sumed to be entirely disinterested, Is
naturally confusing to the unscientnc,
who must necessarily form their tudg'
ment from actual facts. Those of recent
happening are certainly not favorable tc
the Nicaragua advocates. The earth
auakes in Guatemala and the volcanic
activity within the region through which
the Nicaragua canal would pass arr
demonstrations of the dangerous nature
Of that portion of Central Americi
which can be understood without scien
tiac knowledge. On the Panama rout'
there has been nothing OF this III II
late years and seismic disturbances Of
the past were not serious. 1t is upor
such actual and present facts and con
ditions that the public judgment will b.
based, in view OF the disagreement o.
the scientists, and they have yer!
greatly strengthened popular sentimen
in favor OF the Panama route.

RAILROADS AND THE PEOPLE.
Frankness On one side, Deception
on the other.
New York World.


In the statement OF Mr.. e. H. Hartman
regarding railways and the public, he urged
that the time had come for mutual frank
ness in the declaration of purposes and
policies.
On the public's side there has always
been this ~rankness. The railroads have
never fully met It with its like. Hence
the distTust and dislike that have gone SO
far at times as to interfere with corpora
tion schemes meritorious enough in them
selves.
There Is never any doubt In the popular
mind about the vast usefulness OF railways
as developers OF the country and as COM
mon carriers. The rapid increase OF popu-
lation and wealth wherever the steel high
ways penetrate is a thing open to all eyes
and understanding. But the mysteries Of
pooling" OF ~stock-watering and stock
manipulation, the stealthy seizure OF extra
privileges on blind p~retexts-through these
the people are disturbed, perplexed and
often oppressed. They are not necessary
mysteries. The greater part Of them are
not honest mysteries. They must disappear
before there can be established that mutual
frankness urged by Mr.. Hartman.
Publicity Is the medium through which
TO establish such a popular friendship as
the railroads at their best deserve
