Congressman Sullivan of Boston has an
nounced his intention not to run again for
congress, his reason being that he could

1t is hard to contemplate congress of
the United States without the genial
prophet and Santa Claus of Ohio, General

no escape from it. The general was de-
feated for denomination by a beardless
youngster named Douglas.
President William ]. Tucker of Dart

candidate for governor of New Hamp-

possible that he may run, if the right pres

GERMANYS CONCESSION.

The statement made to the Reichstag
the tariff question between Germany
and the United States shows fair and
concilatory spirit which ought to be APP
preciated in this country, and undoubt-
edly will be by all the interests having
trade with the German empire. The
chancellor frankly stated that n tariff
war would damage not only Germany's
shipping interests, but other important
demands of industry. He pointed out
the Importance of the commercial rela-
tons with this country and the intention
of the confederated governments to try
by every means to settle the question
in conciliatory manner. He also spoke
of the Importance of maintaining good
political relations between the two coun-
tries. These considerations forced the
government to ask Parliament to con-
sent to the proposal to extend reciprocal
tariff rates to the United States until
June 30. 1907. 80 that we may con-
tinue in peace with the United States"
The bill for carrying out the proposal
was adopted.
This is a far more liberal concession
than was expected and as one of the
speakers in the Reichstag remarked, will
"give America time to think" 1t gives
to Germany the entire credit for avert
ing a tariff and IL ought to greatly
strengthen the friendship between the
two countries, the value of which
should he as highly esteemed by the
American people as it evidently is by
the Germans. What effect it will have

OF course the action taken by that

At all events. our German trade is

months. How important this is the
statistics of that trade show During
the last fiscal year we sold Germany
little less than S214,OOO.OOO worth of
merchandise, or nearly II per cent OF
our total exports. We bought from that
country goods 10 the value of S11OOOO,
600. so that the balance of trade was
very largely in our favor. In food
stuffs, which would have been chiefly
affected by the new tariff, our trade
amounts approximately to $17.O00.OO(
annually. II has been estimated thai

PURE FOOD LEGISLATION.

The passage by the senate of the
those who have been for years carrying
on an agitation against adulterated
foods, drugs and liquors that may safely
be assumed to assure this legislation,
since there is understood TO be no very
considerable opposition to it in the
house. 1t is noteworthy that there were
only four votes against the measure i'm
the senate, thus showing that the eff
forts of the interests hostile TO the bill
exerted very little influence with sena-
tors. They will now bring pressure to
bear upon representatives, but doubtless
with no better success.
The Hepburn bill was framed with
view to obviating all reasonable objec-
tons to the prohibitions and require
ments deemed necessary to secure
honest dealing in food products. 1t
received most careful and thorough con-
sideration in committee and as reported
to the senate was regarded as being
as nearly perfect as human Judgment
could make such a measure. If the
bill becomes law it is quite possible
that in operation it may be found to
have some defects, but these will be
easily remedied. What is desired is that
there shall be a national statute that
will put an end, as far as its authority
extends, to the manufacture and sale
of adulterated foods, liquors and drugs.
This bill makes it is a misdemeanor to
manufacture or sell adulterated or mis-
branded articles under the above heads
in the District of Columbia, the terri
tories and the insular possessions of the
United States, and prohibits the ship
ment of such goods from one state to
another or to another country. This
is as far as the power of congress goes.
1t is reasonably expected that the States
will supplement federal legislation by
laws prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of adulterated and fraudulent ar
ticles of food drink and medicine. Some
of them have such laws and doubtless
VIII thdCl Ol Sub-
ject, but even should they not a ma
tional statute prohibiting the shipment
of such articles from one state to an
other will go far toward putting a stop
to their manufacture. The manufacture
Of adulterated food, liquors and drugs
would not be profitable if their sale
was confined to the state in which they
were manufactured.
The final success of the pure food
agitation, which now seems certain so
far as congress is concerned, will I'M
doubtedly be followed by general and
uniform state laws modelled upon the
measure to which the senate of the
United States has given it's approval by
the decisive vote of 63 to 4. The bill
may undergo some changes in the house,
but there ought to be no question in re-
gard to its passage by that body, for
there is no doubt that public sentiment
is strongly in favor of such legislation.
The people want their food to be pure
and the representatives in congress
| who should vote against the legislation
needed to give them this would be very
certain to encounter their resentment.

THE MAN BEHIND THE GUN

The BensOnian organ, which repre-
sents mercenary journalism pure and
simple, ventures to instruct republicans
of Omaha as to their duty i'm the selec-
ton of a candidate for mayor. Re-
publican voters are admonished that in
expressing their preference at the pri-
maries the paramount issue is not which
man shall be chosen, but what form of
government is represented by the man
in other words, it is not the man, but
the government, which is to be chosen
by republicans at the April primaries.
Such subtle sophistry is calculated to
befog the real issue in the coming cam
paign. In politics, as in war, the man
behind the gun determines the fate of
the battle. An upright man at the helm
of our city government, who will fear
lessly and faithfully discharge the
duties devolving upon him, is the kind
of man the people of Omaha want.
Platform pledges, professions of faith
and promises of reform before election
count for nothing as against mans
conduct in business and his record as
a public official That is the only cri-
terion to go by.
A man may go to church ON Sunday
and cheat his neighbor the next morn
ing; a man may publicly pose as a foe
of corporate monopoly and trusts and
privately be hand in glove with the cor
porations and trusts; man may loudly
advocate of municipal ownership and
help to rivet the letters of public utility
monopoly upon the community. We
have had that sort of thing in Omaha
more than once.
1t is certainly unbecoming, if not dis
honorable, for the Bensonian organ to
stigmatize A. III. Hennings as a tool of
the corporations and to laud Erastus
Benson as their implacable foe. Men
are known by their acts and works.
Hennings has proved himself an honest
and faithful public official in the only
Office he has held and no one can point
TO any act that would justify The charge
that he is anybody's tool or that he has
ever mortgaged himself to the corpora
lions.
A great many respectable and good
people are supporting Benson, but a
great many bad people are also support
ing him. 1t is simply absurd to claim
that he is antagonistic to corporate
domination in the face of the notorious
fact that his campaign manager last
year conducted the campaign of the
electric lighting monopoly against the
bond proposition, which would have
given Omaha municipal lighting plant
and relieved the city from all further
controversy about lighting the streets
with gas, gasoline or electric light COM
pany short candle power lamps.
Incidentally it may not be out of
place to remark that 4. II. Hennings is
no more responsible for the preferences
expressed by equal rights clubs for
councilmanic candidates than Benson is
for the nomination, on the same Fon-
| tanelle ticket with him. of Westberg and
| John Butler as candidates for comp
| troller and building inspector" Every
body has right TO his choice" as the
man said when he kissed the COW.

In the Edinburgh Uni

In life, this would be ruddy

dweller and is a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs of most
city residents. That's why
consumption thri4es in cities.
One reason Why SCOTS

because it helps to keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. 1t

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.

The Hungarian Diet has been dissolved
and expelled by the police and new cleo
tons will be held under liberalized suffrage
system imposed by royal decree. BY a cur
ious paradox, absolutism forces a more
democratic order upon it's unwilling sub
jects. The hope is that a more complete
expression of the popular will may result
in leavening the extreme Magyarism of the
majority. Previous appeals to the elector-
ate have only strengthened the Nationalist
coalition. One may regret the apparently
unconstitutional manner in which the Par
liamentary knot has been cut but the al
tentative was between some such removal
ton of the Diet or the complete surrender
of the king. For year the independence
party, controlling the majority, has de-
clined either to take Office itself or to sup
port any appointee of the crown. The con-
testants stuck hopelessly at the Magyar
word of command" for Hungarian troops
and all legislation was at a deadlock. I'm
til the reassembling of the new Diet on the
revised suffrage basis the quarrel is tech
nically at a standstill. One can hardly
imagine renovation of the Diet so com
plete that the Appony- Kossuth coalition

many of these were Magyars available sta
tistics fail to state, but it is safe to say
that they formed thirds of the aggre-
gate delegation seeing that the election
laws are carefully framed to promote and
maintain their ascendency by withholding
access to the ballot from the other ele-
ments of the community. 1t cannot be de-
MED that they are the most energetic, in
telligent and prosperous of the various
peoples composing the Hungarian popula-
ton, but that this iustifies them in prac-
tically monopolzng the government is
more than need be admitted. Excluding
the inhabitants of Croatia and Slavonia,
there are in Hungaria $4,000 Magyars;
210LOOO Germans. 2,591,0oo Roumanians,
| 26O4, 900 Serbs and 2565.O0O Slovaks. 1t will
be seen from these figures that the Mag
yars, although tTfey have managed to make
themselves nearly the whole thing and
have made Magyar the official language OF
| the Diet, are actually no more than mi
nority of the whole. They have achieved
predominance through DISTINGUISHING the

| the king to redress that wrong and as the
Magyars, who have been running things

! reform law of the necessary kind, it is in

| the next three months, shall be conducted

give all the non-Magyar population a
chance.
