REMARKABLE Day SPELL.
Extent and Duration of the DrOuth
in the Eastern states.

The drouth Is not yet wholly over in this
vicinity, although on four days of last week
rain fell. But as the total precipitation was
only a little more than half an inch and
was quickly drunk up by the thirsty soil
the result was far from satisfactory. Much
more rain is needed before the drouth-
stricken states will have had the moisture
required.
1t is probable. however, that the dry spell
which marked the spring Of 1908 has been
broken. This period can be dated from
April II and limited by May q, both inclu-
sive. Previous to the first late about 1913
inches of rain had fallen since January /,
or more than one-third the average annual
precipitation in this neighborhood. The ex-
cess of rainfall up to that time was about
$50 inches for the first LOG days Of the
year. Then the dry spell began, and from
April II to May q. both inclusive. a period
of forty-one days, only a little over half
an inch of rain fell. The average rainfall
during that period Is about 4!50 inches So
the deficiency during the dry spell was
nearly four inches, a serious loss at this
time Of the year.
II the month of May alone be considered
1t is found to be one of the three driest on
record. The government reports of rain
fall for that month begin with 1872 and in
ciuulnB lSO5- give a record OF thirty-tWo
years. The average annual precipitation
for May during this period is 3.19 inches.
Tit total rainfall Of the month ranges
from 0.54 OF an inch in 1850, the lowest on
record, to s.46 inches in 1894. the highest on
record. The three years in which the pre-
cipitation for May fell below an'inch were
1880. when 054 OF an inch fell; 1887, when
0.62 OF an inch fell, and 1908, when O.93 of an
inch fell. Last month is therefore not the
driest May this nelghborhood has seen.
And the dry May of 1880 was followed by
a moderately wet June and a very wet
July, and the dry May OF 1887 was followed
by a very wet June and July.
II II were possible TO reason from analogy
then II might be predicted that the hrst
two months OF the present summer will SEE
heavy rainfalls, more than ample enough
to make up for the deficiency during May
But the law or compensations does not al
ways govern IN meteorology, and we.
months do not always follow dry month";
or dry months wet ones. The only thin
certain now is that May, 1908. will go int

Two weeks hence the Colombian con-
gress will meet in extra session for the
consideration Of the Panama canal
treaty. There continues to be uncer-
tainty in regard to the result, though
late advices received at Washington
state that the friends of the treaty ex-
pect it to be ratified without amend
ment, though it's opponents will make
a very determined effort to have it
amended, hoping thereby to secure its
rejection by the United States. 1t is
not improbable that the matter may
be settled by the end Of the present
month, as there will undoubtedly be a
prompt alignment Of the friends and
opponents of the treaty when the Colon
bian congress meets. If the former are
in the majority they viii doubtless be
disposed to reach a vote OF ratification
with as little delay a possible, while
the opposition, If in the majority, will

1t was stated In a Washington dispatch
a few days ago that should revolution
result, which is thought to be not I'M
likely, it would perhaps lead to the oc-
cupation of the canal strip by American
troops. In the event Of an uprising
having the avowed purpose of imperil-
ling the interests of this country on the
isthmus, our government would of course
be justified in taking steps to safeguard
those interests, but it would be neces-
sary to confine our action strictly to
this one object. ANY Action on the part
of the United States that savored of
aggression could not fail to make an
unfavorable impression not only upor
European powers, but also upon the
countries Of South America, the effect
of which would be far more damaging
to us than would losing the canal. Our
government cannot AFFORD to adopt an
aggressive policy In connection with this
matter and it is safe to say will not do
so under any circumstances.

TIE COLONIES p1YIpEp.

While sentiment in Australia ap-
pears to be very strongly in favor of
Mr.. Chamberlain's imperial zollverein
proposals. it is said that In Canada the
plan is not generally approved and its
unpopularity is increasing. When first
announced by the British colonial sec
Rotary the proposed fiscal policy was
cordially received by the Canadians, but
discussion and more deliberate consid-
Grafton of it has produced a reaction
and the indications are, according to
advices from the Dominion capital, that
Mr.. Chamberlain is not likely to get
any very strong or ardent support for
his scheme from Canada.
1t is pointed out that the French
Canadians, who comprise fully one-third
Of the Dominion electorate, have with
Great Britain relations as intimate as
they wish for. They would prefer more
to less independence, but are quite well
satisfied with the existing situation,
which secures them in their language,
laws and peculiar institutions, and they
fear their safe position might be i'm
perilled by the realization Of any project
for binding them more closely to what
is not their mother country. 1t is stated

STICKING TO A BAD PRECEDENT. 3
In making the npportionment Of dele
gates to the republican state and judicial
district conventions the committees have
made an arbitrary division OF repre-
sentation which cannot be defended or
explained away except on the ground
Of established bad precedent and ex-
p%ediency. The representation of Doug
las county in state convention, as ap-
portioned by the committee, will give
the 1O,5O0 republicans Of Omaha "a dele
gates, the 1900 voters Of South Omaha
II delegates and the 1,2OO voters in the
country precincts q delegates. Reduced
to exact proportions, this means that the
republicans in the city of Omaha will
have one delegate for every 1914 voters,
South Omaha one delegate for every 163
voters and the country precincts n dele
gate for every A voters. In other words,
176 republicans in the country precincts
will be represented in the state conven-
ton by foul delegates, where 1914 repub-
leans in Omaha or 163 republicans in
South Omaha will be represented by
only one delegate.
In the judicial convention the relative
disproportion of city and country pre-
cinct representation is even more in
equitable. In the judicial convention the
10000 voters in Omaha are to be repre-
sented by 81 delegates, or one delegate
for every 100 republican voters. The
1900 republican voters Of South Omaha
are to be represented by IS delegates, or
one for every 100 voters, while 1000
republicans in the country precincts are
to be represented by 40 delegates, or one
delegate for every 80 voters. Based on
the ratio given to the country precincts,
South Omaha would be entitled to 60
delegates in the judicial convention in
stead of is and Omaha would be en-.
titled to $50 delegates instead of 81,
Why one republican voter in Dundee,
Benson, Florence, Elkhorn or Irvington
should count for nearly five republican
voters living in the city Of Omaha is
past comprehension on any rational
theory Of popular representation.

are naturally not enthused by the Cham
berlain scheme.
A correspondent at Ottawa OF the Bos-
ton Transcript says: Canadians are ex-
tremely prosperous now and they are ex-
tremely jealous of their political and
economic freedom. This makes Of them
essentially a nation, heterogeneously con
stituted and nominally dependent though
It be. That they will not abate a jot
of their liberty for commercial nnexa
ton to England seems as sure as that
they will not yield any of it for polit-
ical annexation to the United States.
MI. Chamberlain, If he does succeed in
converting England to imperial prefer
entail trade, is likely to find when he
tries to put his thumb on the colonies
that they are no more there than was
the Irishman's flea" Some American
newspapers are urging that now is the
opportunity to negotiate a reciprocity
treaty with the Dominion, asserting that
by so doing we not only could do a good
stroke of business for the people on
both sides the border, but should be
able to bring the whole idea Of inter
colonial preferential tariffs to the
ground, for the reason that we can
offer Canada more than England a n
1t is by no means certain. however,
that conditions are as a vOrable now
for negotiating a fair and equitable
reciprocity treaty with the Dominion
as before the Chamberlain policy was
preached. 1t is quite probable that
Canadian statesmen would be found
less disposed to make satisfactory con-
cessions than before the announcement
Of the colonial s%eeretary's project. At
all events, our government is not called
upon to take the initiative in the mat
ter, as it is being urged to do,

4 BURpEYS0ME INgTITUTIoN.


When Nebraska abandoned the sys-
TEN of leasing the penitentiary it was
assumed that the state prison would be
made approximately self-supporting, if
managed directly by the state. The
penitentiaries of many other states have
not only been self-supporting, but in
some instances yielded a small revenue
above the expense of maintenance.
The report of Warden Beemer Just
made public fails to justify the expecta-
tons of the advocates of the state man
agement of the ~penitentiary. Taking
the exhibit of operations for the last six
months as a basis, we find that the ex-
pense of maintenance and salaries Of
officers and guards Of the penitentiary
aggregate $30.576, while the receipts
from convict labor net but $12,047, leav-
ing a deficit Of $1s,529 for the six
months, which is equivalent to a deficit
Of $4,000 for the year, or over $1,000
per month and more than 500 per day
for every day Of the year.
While the number of convicts is 8 per
cent less than the average of fifteen or
sixteen years ago, the cost Of officers
and guards exceeds one-third Of the en-
tire expense of the institution and the
cost of feeding the prisoners is fully
double the contract price for feeding the
prisoners in the city Jail at Omaha. On
a rough estimate the state is paying
from 80 to "a cents per day for feeding
penitentiary convicts, while the city Of
Omaha pays only 16 % cents.
Why there should be such a great dis
crepancy between the cost of living in
a prison at Omaha or Lincoln is incom-
~prehensible. The contractor at Omaha
supplies his own cooking apparatus, his
own help and pays for his fuel, while
at Lincoln the state owns the kitchen
utensils, has the meals prepared by the
convicts whose labor costs them no
more than the feeding and clothing.
Manifestly, there is room for reform.
There must be higher grade living or
wastefulness somewhere in the state
boarding school for involuntary
servants.
There is also a serious problem con
corning the employment of able-bodied
convicts in mechanical tasks in the
fabrication Of commodities that do not
conflict seriously with the products of
free labor. 1t certainly is rather singu.
lar, to use a mild phrase, that peniten.
tiaries In other states have been self.
supporting institutions, while the Ne
braska ~penitentiary continues to be a
very heavy burden to the taxpayers.
