DR.. Powell has suffered much from
symptoms of Bright's disease and it i
desires to be unburdened of his pres

The board of control has not We
considered the succession to the super
tendency. Necessarily this will be ia
ken up in a short time.
DR.. Powell was one of the strons
men among the heads of state insti.
tutions in Iowa, and was recognized
as such. He was an authority on all
subjects pertaining to the feeble mind
ed and on the subject OF epilepsy, writ
ers in this country and Europe quote
freely from his writings. He has serv-
ed longer as superintendent than any
other man now at the head of a state
institution In Iowa, and since DR.. G.
FL. Hill left the superintendency OF
independence hospital. he holds the
record Of having been longer connected
with an Iowa state institution than any
ether man.
The institution at Glenwood was op-
ened OH September 4, 1876, the build
ings of the western branch of tine Sol
diers' Orphans Home being utilized for
the purpose. DR.. O. w. Archibald, of
Glenwood, was the first superintendent.
Early In 1882 DR.. Archibald resigned,
and DR.. Powell was chosen as his sue
cessor, entering on his duties on May
"a, 1882. Since that time he has been
continuously head of the institution.
Previous to his selection ns superin-

time, until it has grown into farm of
large dimensions. In fact in all re-
spects the institution in the more than
twenty years that DIR. Powell has serv-
ed as superintendent has had steady
upward growth, until it is now one OF
the best and most modern institutions

knights Of Ak-Sar-Ben have expressed
some vexation over stories printed in Lin
coin and Chicago papers to the effect that
Mayor Moores was suffering heartburn
ings and envy because he could not ride
in the first carriage with the president,
OF course there was nothing in this.
But discussing brought out the singular
fact that in making up the list OF those TO
ride in the procession the name Of the
mayor was left out Of the first schedule
and only put in when 1t was revised, he
going in the third carriage.
For the time the knights forgot that
Omaha had a mayer. They were out Of
politics, as in the "one-speech-in-omaha"
ultimatum of the president.-World Herald.
1t is not very creditable to the Ak
Sar-Ben committee of arrangements for
the reception of the president to have
forgotten for a time that Omaha had a
mayor. Such lapses of memory are I'M
common and objectionable. They can
scarcely be explained away by the plea
that the knights were out of politics.
Quite the contrary. Such displays of
gimlet-hole spite bellttle the knights
and cast an %unenviable reflection upon
Omaha when published to the outside
world.
The exhibition of stupid iunkyism
could not harm Mayor Moores politically
or otherwise and certainly did not
lessen his popularity or his influence.
We have yet TO learn that the forget
| fulness Of the knights caused the mayor
any ~heartburnings, but they certainly
have created profound and just indigna-
ton among the citizens Of Omaha who
are not partial to ~snobocracy.
President Roosevelt did not come to
| Omaha as a special guest of n club
or society, but as the guest of the whole
city, and the chief executives OF all the
towns and cities are always accorded
first place in his receptions. President
Roosevelt's idea on that matter was e
hIbited at Lynn, Mass, only a few
months ago, when the snobocrats of
that town showed aside the mayor be-
cause he was a socialist, but were
reprimanded severely 10y the president

size and carrying capacity to tile two
vessels which Hill is to put on the Pa
cifc and other lines are introducing
vessels of much larger tonnage n
greater speed into the trade than form
erly.
The Chronicle says that instead Of
having a walk-over, as he originally eX-
pected, Hill will be confronted with a
much more vigorous competition than
he anticipated and that paper thinks
that 1t will probably develop a fierce
rate war, in which the transcontinental
railroads associated with the respective
transpacifc steamship lines will partic-
ipate. The interesting suggestion Of
this is that those who have given care
full study to the question of Oriental
trade are confident hat 1t is to become
of very large proportions and will well
repay the efforts and the expenditure
that are being made to secure It. 1t is
quite possible, we think, that they have
a somewhat exaggerated idea respect
ing the future of this trade, but there
is no doubt that what is being done to
secure Il is based upon sound business
principles. If we are to have our share
of the Oriental trade 1t must be sought
with a vigor and enterprise at least
equal to that of our competitors.

PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE.

According to the local democratic or
gan Edward E. Howell alone of all the
for municipal office 'at-
tempts an intelligent discussion of the
problem of municipal ownership and
taxation and of the other really impOr-
tant questions that press for settle
ment." Mr.. Howell Is a striking exam
pie of the biblical adage, The voice is
the voice of Jacob, but the hand is the
hand of Esau."
Candidate Howell talks very intelli-
gently, no doubt, about municipal own
ership, taxation and other issues that
vitality concern Omaha taxpayers, but
how does the record of Howell rs oun
Gilman and legislator compare with his
utterances on the issues of the hour2
AS a member of the city council Howell
INDUCED in grand stand plays for the
people and the taxpayers, but when
ever his vote was needed to carry any
scheme favored by the franchised cor,
porations he voted with the corpora
lions and against the people.
When the tifty-year gas franchise
was up before the council Howell stood
with the corporation combine that was
enjoined in the courts by William S.
Poppleton and John L. Kennedy from
passing the ordinance over the mayors
veto. BY cutting the 1fty-year gas
franchise In the middle and imposing
a royalty of 3 cents per thousand cubic
feet of gas sold in Omaha the city has
saved more han a million dollars and
the consumers of gas will save an equal
amount. Last years royalty on gas
sold to private consumers exceeded
$4,000. If Howell had had his way
we would not have had a penny of roy
atty and the price of gas would have
been from 10 to 20 per cent higher thar
1t is today.
When the Wiley electric lighting con-
tract was before the city Howell cast
his vote with the electric lighting com
pany and against the taxpayers, and
the same is true with regard TO the
garbage contract, paving contracts and
other measures that were detrimental
to the interests of the taxpayers. Candi-
date Howell talks beautifully on mu-
nicipal ownership, while Councilman
Howell voted wrong all along the line
OF municipal ownership. But men are
judged by what they do and not by
what they say.
The measure Of MI. Howell as a pub.
lie man must be taken by his public
record and not by his platform pledges
or his platform talk. Mr.. Howell al.
ways has been long on promises and
short on performances. His voice is
the oily voice of Jacob, but his hand is
the hairy paw Of Esau.

DOCTORS ADVICE TO CLERGY.
''The More Theology n Minister Has
the More Dyspepsia He Has"

SAiiNdBO Illbul
The ministers OF Pittsburg the other day
had the novel experience OF being talked
to by DR.. Thomas D. Davis, one Of the most
noted physicians of the city, upon the sub
ject Of what physicians demand from the
pulpit. 1t is rare that one profession is
lecuired by another profession upon it's
duties and responsibilities. Hence upon this
occasion the attendance was unusually
large, and represented all denominations.
The ministers accepted the doctors eriti-
cisms good %naturedly. and acknowledged
that his advice was good.
A considerable part OF the doctors ad-
dress was devoted to criticism OF ministers
and religious journals for carelessness in
recommending medicines not registered and
alleged doctors not recognized by the pro-
fession. As a rule, he thought 1t safe for
the cobbler to stick to his last, and that
ministers should not NEEDLE with matters
which belong to doctors. The most peril
nent part OF the address was Its advice. DR..
Davis would have the ministers chop and
saw wood at home, ride horseback. and
play golf as often as they can, and take
their summer recreation in the mountains.
such exercise" he said, will take the
stiffness out of your winter sermons as it
takes the starch out Of your summer shirt. :"
1t is DR.. Davis opinion that "the more the
ology a minister has the more dyspepsia be
has" Nearly all eminent theologians have
been eminent dyspeptics. while hearty. ro-
bust ministers, like Beecher and Phillips
Brooks, have cared but little for theology.
There can be no doubt our ministers. as g
rule, take too little physical exercise. To
be successful under existing conditions q
minister must work hard mentally. There
never was a time when he had TO work
harder. This makes IL all the more i'm
p~erative that he should have good physical
exercise. that he may have the sound
mind in the sound body" Now that tbs
Pittsburg physician has given the clergy
men advice from his point Of view, som'
well equipped minister should be invited

A RrAssURlNe FORECAST.

A leading authority in the iron and
steel trade. connected with one of the
largest eastern houses, gives a reassur-
ing forecast Of the iron and steel in
dustry, very generally accepted as the
barometer of business. He finds espe-
cially in the prospect of good crops a
promise of continued activity in the
iron and steel trade. He remarks that
the farmers of the country, having paid
off their mortgages, are spending their
and with large crops this year they
will do this still more freely. Then
there is the reconstruction of the rail-
road systems of the country, which is a
matter of necessity and must go on
until the various roads can handle
promptly and economically the traffic
that is offered. Other conditions are
favorable to this trade.
There is one danger, however, to this
and all business, of which account must
be taken. This is labor disturbances. II
will probably be known within a few
days whether this danger is so great as
apprehended. 1t is most earnestly to be
hoped that 1t will prove not to be. With
all the conditions so favorable to a con
tinuance Of active business and pros
perity, widespread conflicts between
labor and capital would be a misfor-
tune of the most deplorable kind. There
has been a good deal said recently cal
culated to excite the passions and Gre
ate bad feeling, such utterances, for
example as those Of Parry. The situa-
ton calls for the exercise Of intelligent,
calm and conservative judgment and II
this be done the danger that threatens
will be averted and the American peO-
pie will continue to enjoy a high de-
gree OF prosperity.
