REPUBLfc1Es SHOULD REMEMBER.

REPUBLICANS SHOULD REMEMBER.
Republicans in the legislature and in
the state house should remember that
the party is still IN probation and that
its future depends upon the record
which It makes for itself in administra-
ton and legislation. The fact that a
larger number Of republicans hold seats
in the present lawmaking body than In
any preceding Legislature since Ne
braska became a state does not signify
that the party has secured a perpetual
lease Of power, regardless Of what
course II may pursue. On the contrary,
the overwhelming republican majorities
in the two houses should inspire its
representatives with a greater sense Of
responsibility.
Fifteen years ago Nebraska gave
$4,000 plurality to Benjamin Harrison.
Two years later It elected a demo-
cratic governor, and that disaster was
followed by a succession of defeats that
turned the state into the Bryan column

1900 a herculean task. The prime cause
Of populism in Nebraska was railroad
ism and boodlerism in the republican
party. When the party surrendered to
the railroad domination, the people re.
pudiated the party. Had the fusion re-
formers lived up to their pledges to
the people. they would have been in
power In Nebraska today. Their col
lapse, while partly due to restored pros
perity, was mainly caused by the
recreant betrayal of public trust on the
part of lawmakers and office holders
who sold out to the railroads.
If the present republican legislature
disappoints the rank and file Of the
party Ivy failing to carry out the prom
ises made for them in the last cam
paign they will jeopardize party sue
cess both this year and next year.

A L ALARM,

A few property owners in South
Omaha and a good many people who
own no property and have no other in
terest In South Omaha except political
rake-offs and jobs have .rung the town
bell to sound an alarm over the awful
menace of annexation to Omaha. They
claim TO have discovered in a proposed
constitutional amendment authorizing
the merging of city and county govern
ments, in whole or in part, p deep-laid
conspiracy on the part of Omaha to
swallow up South Omaha without wait
ing for Its aid OF consent.
A close inspection Of the bill does not
bear out this conclusion. In the first
place, the proposed amendment is not
automatic. 1t cannot be ratified before
1904 and no steps can be taken to put
IL into enec until after the legislature
OF 1905 makes provision for a partial or
complete consolidation OF county and
city governments. In the next place,
It Will take a majority of the votes cast
In the whole county to legalize any
merger OF the duplicate machinery of
city and county government. BY the
time that stage is reached. one-half the

RERuK1NG MR. CANYON.

Intelligent public opinion will be little
Influenced by what Senator Tillman has
said in rebuke Of Representative Can
non for his remarks upon the methods
Of the United States senate, but it may
be affected by the attitude of Senators
Hale and Allison, both of whom found
fault with the speech Of Mr.. Cannon.
We have heretofore referred to the
remarks Of the latter and heartily APP
proved of them. We still believe that
Mr.. Cannon was absolutely right in
what he said condemnatory of the prac-
tice Of the senate and we do not doubt
that the intelligent opinion of the oun
try Is practically unanimous in support
Of his position. 1t may be true, as
senator Hale is reported to have said,
that the statement made by Mr.. Can
non was "a breach of the privileges"
but that fact does not deprive it of it's
significance and force. 1t remains true
that everything said by Mr.. Cannon
was absolutely justified by the circum-
bNdbICS anu Wdb SlllCA ia. ldhku dSC
one too strong. Senator Allison is
quoted as saying that the rules Of pro-
cedure of the. senate twill be settled
by the body itself IN Accordance with
its own best Judgment - livery well;
but is the senate never to consider pub
lie opinion? Is that body to be always
Indifferent to what-the people think to
be right, as indicated through their rep
~resentatives In the popular branch of
congress7 In so far as matters original.
ing In the senate are concerned. If the
majority are willing to allow the mi
nority to say whether or not such pro-
posed legislation shall pass we'll and
good, but when a majority of the house
Of representatives have. declared IN
favor of certain legislation it is not well
that a minority of the senate should be
able to defeat IL.
The Amertrqn people are heartily tired
of that Senatorial courtesy which per.
mits a few men to hold up important
measures and thwart the popular will
and they are growing more and more
determined to put a stop to this sort Of
thing. Whether senators in love will
the traditional methods of the senate
like it or not, the great majority of the
people are in hearty accord with what
Mr.. Cannon said in his speech near tbs
closing hours Of congress. 1t may no
have the desired result Of correcting
the faults of the senate. but 1t hal
called public attention to them and
there is reason to at least hope that Il
will have a good effect.

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.

Perhaps there is nothing which the
average American citizen takes less in
terest in than the question OF trade
reciprocity with Canada, and yet it is a
matter Of frst-class importance. which
sooner or later will have to receive
very serious consideration. We cannot
lose sight Of the fact that the Dominion
is a very close and intimate nelghbor
and that while a British possession 1t
is in all other respects virtually Amer
lean.
We should never lose sight of that
fact. We should never forget that in
spite of the confessed loyalty OF Can
ada to Great Britain the bottom and
controlling feeling, after all, is really
A~merican-that is. a sentiment in sym
patty with what belongs on this side
of the ocean, with what is distinguished
from Europeanlsm. The sentiment of
Imperialism, of affection for the
mother country" is unquestiombly
very strong In Canada. but we venture
TO think that a majority OF the Cana,
dian people would. II brought to the
test, refuse to yield to the least degree
the privileges they now enjoy at the
behest of the Imperial government.
That is to say. Canada wants and will
insist upon retaining all of the independ.
ence she now has, which in effect makes
her practically free Of Great Britain
and to all intents and purposes the com
plete arbiter Of her own destiny.
In this situation Canada must be con
Sidered in any relation between thai
country and the United States: The
common thought OF course Is hat tn,
Dominion is a colony OF Great Britain
which is true, but it is something NOR,
than this. 1t has a very distinct au
tonomy and a government so far indie
pendent that 1t can make its own tar.n

In dealing with Canada, Therefore, the
United States is dealing with a country
which, while being a part of the British
empire, is practically Independent.
What, then, should be our policy in re-
spect to trade negotiations? May we
not reasonably ask that any arrange
ment we may make with Canada shall
be absolutely free from conditions re-
lating to England? AT present Canada
makes a preferential tariff in favor Of
English manufacturers. Is it not a
legitimate demand that that policy shall
be abandoned as a condition to trade
reciprocity between the Dominion and
the United States?

Why Electric Light is Costly.
Philadelphia Ledger.


While the electric motor is rapidly re-
placing all other methods OF power trans
mission and distribution, due to its greater
economy, electric power when used as a
source Of light is still at a disadvantage
regarding economy, says Charles p. Stein
metz in the Electrical World and Engt-
neer. That is, as a rule electric power lie
more expensive than gas or kerosene.
and the extensive use OF electric light ia
due rather to its greater convenience. re-
liability and cleanliness than TO its econ
omy. This follows from the fact that the
efficiency Of producing light from electric
power is extremely low, below 10 per cent
in the most efficient carbon arc lamp. and
something like 3 per cent in the mean
descent lamp and the Nernst lamp. II is
obvious, then, hal II the efficiency OF
light production could be raised to figures
even half as high as that Of power pro-
duction, the electric light would SWEEP
every other illuminant out Of existence By
It's greater economy.

American Syndicate Corners the Sui
phur Crop in n Mexican Volcano.
New York Times.
That q Mexican general has been able
at Just this time to sell a volcano for $5,-
900, 900 to an American syndicate is a fact
if 1t be a fact-that seems to necessitate
an immediate revision Of the accepted no.
lions in regard both to Mexican generals
and to American syndicates, so much prac-
teal ability on the part Of the former and
so little business caution on the part of
the latter does the transaction indicate. 1t
may very well be that there is more than
IS. 900, 900 worth of sulphur in the crater Of
Popocatapetl, but, with the mountains Of
Mexico in their present restless condition,
the chance that the sulphur will go out in
flames appears to be much greater than
the chance that II will go out In bags or
barrels. And a volcano in active eruption
is decidedly more interesting than profit
able, while the interest is not Of the sort
usually expressed in percentages. 1t may
be. however, hat the syndicate knows
what 1t is about as we'll as the general
does, and certainly the nAmo "Popocata-
petl" would look extremely we'll on GER
tihcates for common and preferred stock.
Around 1t, for everybody, cluster the MEM
cries Of childhood, the word being one OF
the few products Of early geographical study
that cannot be forgotten while life en-
dures. Who would not like to own a full
paid, nonassessable share In Popocatapetl,
even IL the sulphur did all blow out into
the scenery?

SALARIES AND PROSPERITY.
Folly of Forcing Prices to The Break,
ing Point.
HarDer's Weekly.

HarDer's Weekly,
A gentleman's gardener came to him one
day last month and desired audience. Said
he: you use me we'll, sir; l have moth
ing TO complain of; but the under gardener
bought a house two years ago, expecting
to be able to make payments on 1t. He did
make some payments, but subsistence-coal
meat, rent and the like-has come to be SO
dear hat he has fallen behind and is likely
to lose his house and all that he has paid
on 1t. / think, perhaps, sir, you would
think II we'll to give him some help The
gentleman a~ssented and agreed TO increase
the under gardeners pay by a sum which
the gardener thought would be sufficient
Then said he; How does 1t go with your
self, James? Do you get along well!
"oh, I get along, sir. have been able
until lately to put aside part Of my wages.
l cannot do that just now, but / an hop
ing for better times The obvious moral
OF this true tale from real life is that the
times are not equally good for all per-
sons and that those whose incomes have
long been fixed are not embarrassed by the
riches which are advertised TO be inundat-
ing the country. The better times when
the gardener hopes for are likely 10 come
by the automatic working OF processes now
operative. TIL general rise in the cost OF
labor and all products Of labor must work
in time the restriction Of all constructive
enterprise, until prices, declining to meet
a lessening demand, makes II feasible again
for a thrifty gardener who has a good job
10 save something out Of his pay.
