The protest Of the governor of wy
oming in regard to forest reservations
in that state, in which respect he con-
ours with the views of his predecessor;
meets with general approval in that Sec
ton of the country. In referring to it
the Seattle acknowledgements remarks
that while the necessity of proper forest
reservations is admitted by all, as a
means not only of conserving the coun-
try's supply of timber, but in some re-
gions as n protection against floods, yet
the reservation business may be over
done. 1t points out that in Wyoming
the reserves have been increased until
they include one-third of the entire area
of the state which is thus shut out
from settlement. Such of the land as
is susceptible of cultivation can never
be reclaimed for that purpose, so long
as reserved, and to that extent the de-
velopment of the state is arrested.
That paper is Of the opinion that such
reservations as this should not be per-
mitted to exist for all time, that they
are admissible merely for the temper
ary purpose of Withdrawing the land
from settlement and entry, pending
thorough examination and survey, for
the purpose of determining the proper
limits of the permanent reservations to
be ultimately made. Making reserva-
tions permanently" it remarks, upon
such an extravagant and unnecessarily
large scale will result in provoking the
most bitter opposition to the whole for
est reservation scheme; will tend to de-
feat the needed appropriations for the
purpose hamper the work and may, in
deed, force an abandonment of the
whole plan" President Roosevelt, like
his predecessor. has shown a great deal
of interest in this matter, the present
administration being credited with n
number of reservations, but in view of
the objections that are being made to
this policy it is not likely to be so ac-
lively pursued in future.

THE WATER WORKS pURoHAsr.


Members of the Real Estate exchange
who are trying to make themselves be-
lieve that the Water board will have a
right to set aside or modify the APP
praisement of the water works plant
when agreed on by the arbitrators are
simply deceiving themselves The con-
tract between the water works COM
pany and the city is embodied in
Ordinance No. 423, passed June II, 1880,
and approved on the same day. The
water works purchasing clause, under
which the appraisement is about to be
made, reads as follows:
Section H. The city of Omaha shall have
the right at any time after the expiration
of twenty years to purchase the water
works at an appraised valuation, which
shall be ascertained by the estimate of
three engineers, one to be selected by the
city council, one by the water works
company, and these two to select a third;
providing, that nothing shall be paid for
the unexpired franchise of said company.
1t goes without saying that the legis-
lature has no right to abrogate or
change the conditions of any contract,
consequently the legislature had no
right to confer any powers upon the
Water board that would intervene in
any shape, manner or form in the mu-
tual agreement between the city and
the water works company.
BY the original contract, the city
council and that body alone was en-
powered to select and appoint the .engi-
! neer who is to represent the city in the
appraisement, and the action of the
Water board in designating Mr.. Alvord
was nothing more than recommenda-
| ton that had no greater binding effect
upon the council than If Mr.. Alvord
had been recommended by the Board of
Trade, the Real Estate exchange or the
Omaha base ball club. The designation
of Mr.. Alvord by the council to act as
engineer for the city of Omaha gives
the only legal authority by which Mr..
Alvord will be empowered to act for the
city in the impending appraisement
To assume that the Water board can
either reject or modify the appraise-
ment is simply prepOsterous. If any
public body representing the city of
Omaha has any right in the premises
under the contract it will be the board
OF directors of the municipal corpora
ton. namely, the council. The serious
question that presents itself is whether
the appraisement when once made and
agreed to by the majority, or all of the
appraisers, will not absolutely bind the
city to pay the price agreed upon, even
II two or three millions above the true
value of the works.
That contingency may not arise, but
the amazing thing is that a body like
the Real Estate exchange, which has
made such a gallant fight for lower
taxation, would stand still in the face OF
the prospect that Omaha may by the
compulsory water works purchase on the
three-arbitrator plan be forced to as,
sumo an increase in taxes ranging from
$4,000 TO 100000 a year in the shape
OF interest on bonds to be issued for an
lovervalued water works plant Posst

AN OVERWHELMING DEFELT

Rarely has a proposal or policy cham
pioned by member of the British min
istry met with so overwhelming q de-
feat in Parliament as that encountered
by the Chamberlain scheme for retain
ing the grain tax and having in contem-
long-established fiscal policy of Great
Britain. There seemed when the CO.
lonial secretary declared himself In fa-
vor of change of policy, in the interest
of closer relations between the colonies
and the mother country, and his position
received a qualified approval from Pre-
mier Balfour, that there might be q
considerable parliamentary endorsement
OF his position. Certainly no one ex-
pected that it would be repudiated by
such a majority as was given against
the amendment to the budget bill in fa-
vor of q continuance of the grain duties,
the effect of which, it is perhaps need
less to say, will put an end for the pres
ent and probably for a very long time
TO the movement in England in opposi-
ton to the existing fiscal policy.
The vote IN the House of Commons
Wednesday demonstrates conclusively
that the representatives of the people of
the United Kingdom are not to be af-
fected by any sentimental considera-
tions regarding imperial unity where
the practical question of the cost of liv-
ing to the masses is involved. The at
tempt of Mr.. Chamberlain and his ad-
herents to persuade the workingmen
that the policy they proposed would not
increase the cost of foOdstuffs was ut
terly futile, while the promise of higher
wages and of old-age pensions carried
no weight. With practical unanimity
the wage-workers refused to be deluded
by any such uncertain pledges. Added
to the opposition from this source was
the firmly grounded faith of the great
majority of Englishmen in the policy
which has been pursued for more than
half a century and to which they largely
attribute England's growth In CONNER
cial power and financial supremacy.
Mr.. Chamberlain was able to create a
temporary sensation In British politics
and he has learned lesson that will
very likely induce him not to make an
other attempt of the kind. There is no
doubt that he most seriously desires the
development of the colonies and their at
tachment by ties of closer self-interest
to the empire, but he must find some
other method of doing this than the one
he has proposed, involving the impOsi-
ton of an added burden upon the people
of the United Kingdom. However much
Englishmen generally may desire the
strengthening of the empire they are not
willing TO make any undue sacrifice,
such as they feel would be required by
the Chamberlain policy, to this end 1t
is with the great majority of them a
purely practical question and not one of
sentiment. 1t will be interesting to note
the effect upon public opinion in the
British colonies of the decisive paria-
mentary reputation of the colonial sec
retary's scheme.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-06-12

The assassination of the king and
queen OF Servia, together with members
OF the cabinet is the tragic elimination
Of conditions that have long threatened
revolution in that kingdom. Nearly ever
since the beginning Of the reign of King
Alexander Servia has been more or less
disturbed, owing to the unpopularity of
his methods. the hostility to him being
recently much intensified by his sus-
pension of the constitution, by which
action the freedom and rights of the
people were endangered There was a
very general feeling of hostility, also,
toward the queen, an ambitious woman
having little regard for the interests and
welfare of the Servian people.
The dispatches indicate that no very
serious political results are apprehended
from this tragedy. A new government
has been proclaimed and It is believed
will be installed without difficulty. At
all events there is reason to think that
the circumstance will not disturb the
general peace of Europe, though it is
hardly to be expected that complete
quiet will be at once restored in Servia.
Generally unpopular as the late king
and queen were, they had some ad-
herents who will possibly seek to make
trouble. The murdered king was a son
Of Milan l and was born in 1875. The
former, who succeeded his cousin, as
L.
career and Alexander showed little abil-
ity as a ruler. The independence OF
Servia from Turkey was established by
the treaty of Berlin in 1873 1t has an
area of about 21,OO0 square miles and
a population of a little over 100000,
the inhabitants being almost entirely
Slav. The kingdom has only a small
standing army, but there is a consider
able force of national militia, so that
in case of war it could put into the
field nearly 100000 men. The material
progress of the country is slow
The new king is said to be entirely ac-
ceptable to the people generally and to
be proRussian in feeling, which means
that the influence of Russia will prob
ably be paramount at Belgrade, the
Servlan capital. Whether or not this will
be conducive to the preservation of
general peace is a question. It is said
that Russia has been preparing Servia,
by gifts of munitions of war. for a pos
sible conflict in the Balkans and that it
is in Russia's plan of operations to bring
about war between Turkey and Bull
garia. If she has such design and it
should carry there would be strong
probability of servia becoming involved.
However, speculation in this direction
is prohtless, since it must be based upon
the views of European correspondents,
who for the most part are quite as
likely to misiudge the situation as
otherwise. The Servian event is an i'm
pressive reminder that there are con-
ditlons in Europe making for revolution
that may at any time manifest them
selves in a most startling manner and
its significance should not be lost on
other rulers who may not be giving heed
to the popular welfare and seeking to
better the conditions of their people.
