The new Dominican House OF Studies Is
to be Immediately begun in Washington
near the Catholic university. When fin-
ished 1t will be the largest Gothic monas-
terry in America.
Rev. Francis r. s. Donovan, s. j., a
scholastic in the Jesuit order. who is study
ing for the priesthood at woodstock. Nd,
has transferred to the Jesuit fathers his
entire fortune of $4,000
The Congregational Sunday School and
Publishing society since 1889 has organized
nearly 5000 schools and gathered into them
$4,000 persons. and out of these schools
have grown $50 Congregational churches.
The Connecticut Bible society has COM
pleted its ninety-fourth year. At its late

Bibles.

chosen at the next election. Free to act
arbitrarily, the old council could create
thirteen wards, so arranged that the nine
old members should each remain in a
ward otherwise unrepresented and nine
newly elected members find themselves
punched in the four new wards. There
would be eighteen councilmen claiming
thirteen seats, but the nine repudlated
holdovers would have no one to contest
against them, while the nine men with
fresh commissions from the people
would have to fight It out among them
selves for the four remaining places.
We certainly have a right to question
the soundness of ruling that makes
possible such an outcome.

RoosnHELr.s FRIENps.

II is not a reckless proposition to say
that today Theodore Roosevelt has more
friends among the American people than
any other man. Canvass, II you please,
any party OF a political character and
you will find that a majority of repub-
licans will be I'm favor Of Theodore
Roosevelt for the nomination by the re-
publican national convention of 1904
This sentiment in favor of the president
will not only last, but will be strength
ened in the future, so that we may pre-
dict with almost absolute certainty that
the man whom the republicans Of the
nation will have TO vote for next year is
Theodore Roosevelt
There has been some talk as to what
Ohio will say about the nomination Of
Roosevelt. 1t is a question Of some i'm
portance. The center of republican poll
tics today is in Ohio. The chairman of
the republican national committee is in
that state. In a certain sense Ohio is
the pivotal republican state of the ma
ton. There is no question that today
no other state in the union exerts a
greater influence upon American politics
than does the state of Ohio.
Who are the friends of Roosevelt in
ohio2 That is a question that will be
answered at the coming convention of
the Ohio republicans. There is at this
time a diversity Of opinion as to what
ought to be done, but we predict that
the republicans of Ohio will indorse
Theodore Roosevelt for nomination by
the next republican national convention.

THE TWO VILLAGES.
Rose Terry Cook

Rose Terry Cook
Over the river, on the hill,
Lieth a village, white and stilli
All around Il the forest trees
Shiver and whisper in the breeze;
over II sailing shadows go
OF soaring hawk aid screaming crow,
And mountain grasses, low and sweet,
Grow in the, middle OF every street. ya,l.
Over the river, under the hill, .7Ip0r. rr
Another village lieth. still; .'-
There see in the cloudy night
Twinkling stars of household light,
Fires that CLEAN from the smithys door,
Mists that curl on the river shore,
Ard in the road no grasses grow .
For the wheels that hasten to and FRO.
In that village on the hill
Never is sound OF smithy or mill;
The houses are thatched with grass and
howers
Never clock to toll the hours;
The marble doors are always shut; ...
You cannot enter in hall or hut;
All the villagers lie asleep; le
Never a grain to SOW or reaps
Never in dreams to moan and sigh;
Silent and idle and low they lie.
In that village under the hill,
When the night is starry and still,
Many a weary soul in prayer
Looks to the other village there,
And, weeping and signing longs TO go
Up to that home from this below;
Longs to sleep In the forest wild,
Whittier have vanished wife and child;
Patience! That village shall hold Ye ALL"

II the president OF the Business Mems
association only had his way he would
not deal with labor unions, but with in
dividual employees The president of the
Business Mems association has had no
occasion, so far as can be learned, to
deal with unions, but men at the head
of extensive business concerns. such as
the packing houses and other industrial
concerns, that carry thousands OF men
on their pay roll, have not only reeog-
nized the existence OF the unions. but
have dealt with the representatives of
labor unions without turning over their
property or their business into the hands
OF their employees

FARMING ouR COUNTY FrNnS


For more than ten years the city Of
Omaha has received interest on the
funds deposited in the various banks by
the city treasurer. During the first few
years following the enactment of the
depository law the county as well as the
city was allowed per cent on the bal
ances in the city and county depositor-
les, but when the rate of interest was
reduced to 2 per cent by the banks the
county teasurers ceased making any
returns OF interest on deposits under the
plea that the depository law fixed 8 per
cent as the minimum rate at which the
county funds could be lawfully loaned
out
For nearly FIVE years not a penny has
been turned over by the treasurers of
Douglas county on the public funds de-
posted by them in the banks, but it is
an open secret that these deposits have
earned interest for somebody. Atten-
tion has been called by The Bee to this
fagrant abuse time and again. but the
county commissioners, whose duty it is
to protect the interests of the taxpayers
and compel an accounting for interest
as well as principal from every custo-
dian Of public funds, have stuffed cot
ton into their ears and refused to hear
anything about this.
The late legislature amended the de-
pository law so as to remove all further
excuse for the practice of farming our
public funds for private gain by reduc-
ing the minimum at which county funds
could be loaned out from 3 to per cent
There is, therefore, nothing on the stat
utes that would bar the county treasurer
from following the example of the city
treasurer by inviting proposals from the
banks for the county funds and reouir-
ing them to pay at least 2 per cent on
the balances. But although the law was
passed with an emergency clause and
has been In effect since April 1, no stems
have yet been taken to put it into effect.
County Treasurer Elsasser's exhibit of
public funds in his custody May 1 shows
an aggregate deposit in banks of S253.
91O.55, or fraction over quarter of a
million dollars, which at 2 Der cent
would yield the county over $1,000 q
year, or $423 per month. Is there anv
good reason why the law should not he
enforced without further delay? why
shouid not the county deposits be treated
the same as the city deposits?

Members of the State Board of Rail-
way Assessment may have satisfied
themselves that the railroads of Ne
braska are worth less for taxation than
they were ten years ago. but they have
not yet converted the great body of tax
payers throughout the state to that view.
With this example of gross undervalua-
ton set by the state board, what i'm
provement is to be expected of the local
assessors who list the other taxable
property?

The labor strike in Denver was much
more extensive than the labor strike in
Omaha. but the differences between or
ganized employees and employers have
been amicably adjusted by arbitration.
while in Omaha the trouble has been
temporarily smothered without any as
surances that fresh outbreak may not
recur any day. The business men OF
Denver are just as independent and pro
gressive as the business men of Omaha
ana are just as anxious to manage their
own business as are the merchants and

tury conditions and have succeeded in
settling the differences satisfactorily
without leaving a bitter taste in any

OF all those persons recently exiled from
Finland by the decree of General Bobri-
koff, it is NJ Regnel Wolf whose case ex-
cites the most sympathy. Unlike his
brother and his companions in misfortune,
he had taken absolutely no part in politics
and had kept himself entirely aloof from
opposition to the new government. His
brother, NJ Eugen Wolf. says; For my
own part 1 make no secret Of the fact that
have done all in my power to further the
policy of passive resistance the basis
OF absolute legality But my brother has
never taken any part whatever in our
work" Similar testimony is given by
many who know him. There is reason to
believe that false information was given
against him by workman whom he dis
missed last December for insubordination.
This man. who Is now employed in the
Viborg police, acted as pilot 10 the force
which raided his house and openly exulted
over the misfortunes OF his former master.
Commenting upon the situation, a corre-
spondent OF the London Times says: '"rhe
st. Petersburg bureaucracy have now In
troduced the Oriental system Of arbitrary
\ despotism, under which every mans prop
erty, liberty and even life are at the mercy
Of the executive government. which is
above the law and free from all restraints
on its liberty OF action. The system has
proved a dismal failure in Russia, where
the people have never known anything
better. 1t is hard to believe that Il can
be a success when applied 20 a nation like
the Films, who have grown up amid the
Western traditions OF personal liberty and
self government"
