The Great Daniel a Poor Prophet 4"

Daniel Webster made a. speech in the
United States senate in 1893 on q resolution
70 build a post road between st. Louis and
Washington territory. He said:
Fellow Senator's: Neither my voice nor
vote will DO given for this resolve before
this body. what do we want OF that enor-
nous tract of barren land, stretching TO
the westward for hundreds OF miles; OF
shSse sT@SS,ad W WS'1 az we 5 RPs5t With
that seacoast of 1880 milas in extent with
scarcely harbor on ~? No, gentlemen o.
the senate, my voice and vote are opposed
to this resolve; and more, will not vote
to bring San Francisco one inch nearer
Boston than 1t is at present
Well. Daniel Webster was not to blame.
Probably there were many other senators
and still other well-intormed men who
agreed with him that st. Louis was sittins
ungracefully on the edge Of civilization,
looking darlSly over a country that was
positively wild. The time Of which Web
ster spoke was sixty-eight years ago, That
is a longer period than lifetime What
has been done in that time can never
cease to be an interesting study. The world
was wonderful enough sin state OF ma
ture but human handF and brains have
added 70 it's conveniencesand happiness and
made Of the people who live on the count
less acres Of this great. domain the most
remarkable and thrifty.
Daniel Webster and his contemporaries
have passed away, though Il doesn't seem
80 long since they lived. They did their
part in the general development but II is
almost painful 10 read the evidence that
they knew so little in comparison With
the practical knowledge that has been
fairly knocked into the heads Of men and
women in their maturity now
There was a life in the old days as
polite-as aristocratic, II you please--as
there is now, but we have more garnish-
ment and so much better means Of trans
portation.

next sixty-eight years as there has been ini

WHY THIS DELAY

The people of Omaha are receiving
a very excellent object lesson in the
fruits of delay. The break in the over
taxed supply main between the pump
ing station and the reservoir shut on
the water supply from a large section
of the city and also reduced the service
throughout the city. Just how long
this condition will prevail no one can
tell, but even though the repair to the
broken main be made quickly it does
not relieve the citizens from the men
ace that hangs over them.
The fact has been apparent for many
years that the single main running
down from the Florence pumping sta
ton is not sufficient to supply the con-
tinually increasing demand for water
in the city of Omaha. The water com
pany has long known that an addi-
tiOnal main would have to be con-
structed and, in fact, had made ar
rangements to build the main when
the Howell compulsory purchase bill
cast its shadow over the enterprise and
called halt on the movement
President Woodbury. of the water
company long ago offered TO the
Omaha Water board what appears to
be a fair and equitable proposition. II
is that the company would install a
second line OF main pipe between Flor
ence and Omaha without prejudice to
the city's right under the Howell bill,
asking only that It be stipulated that
the city should add TO the price OF the
water plant the cost OF the main with
per cent interest from the time OF
completion until the time OF purchase.
This proposition has twice been laid
before the Water board, but no re-
Spouse whatever has been made. In
the meantime the city rests IN ooRtin-

The prompt conviction and severe
punishment of the Sugar trust for ac-
cepting rebates, following so swiftly
conviction of the New York Central
for granting them, is a notable and
welcome mark of progress in enforcing
the law against transportation dis
ordinations. The fine of $685. 900
imposed by the court for the violations
covered by the indictments, the
amount illegally received by the Sugar
trust being only $2s.O0O. may be a
severe penalty from its standpoint, es-
pecially when the expenses of defense
against the prosecution, including the
fee of high-priced lawyers like former
Ambassador Joseph H. Choate, are
considered, but it is none too severe.
The efficiency of the law is indeed
being asserted when it has thus be-
come dangerous to violate it. One of
the main roots of the evil which has
so aroused public resentment has been
that powerful trade eonspiracies like
NAh DuHaA u AnNt NOhAAOllln6 nu6C Qudu~
titles of freight, could to their own
prOht and to the undoing OF weaker
competitors coerce railroads into
granting illegal advantages in rates.
It is only by making the wrong I'M
Improbable to the trust that the evil
can be cut out by the roots, although
Of course relentless prosecution of the
rebating carrier also helps.
The protest of the trusts attorney
Mr.. Choate. that such heavy fine is
unprecedented is sophistical. All the
penal precedents harmonic on the
principle OF preventive and exemplary
purpose, the amount of fine being a
mere means Accordingly an assess
ment of 100000 against the Sugar
/ trust is in fact an incomparably lighter
penalty than a small fraction Of thai
fine would be TO an ordinary offender
To impose upon criminal trade con
spiracy, whose annual lawless gains
mount up into the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, money penalties OF
the scale appropriate enough for pool
and weak common culprits would b
simply a farce.

HERMAN KOUNTzE.

In the death of Herman Kountze the
financial circles not only of the west
but of the United States have lost a
familiar and commanding figure. Mr..
KountZe sedulously avoided publicity
and for this reason the extent of HIS
personal influence in business affairs
was not generally known. AS a mem
Der of one of the leading banking firms
of the United States, whose existence
extends over half a century, he was
part Of the great development of the
country during its period of most re-
markable expansion.
He had made his home during this
time in Omaha and in a large degree
his interests we're conferred here, but
his connection with the firm of
Kountze Bros. Of New York and the
bank in Denver placed him in a posi-
ton where he had direct influence on
the larger monetary and commercial
affairs of the country at large. The
we'll known conservatism of the
Kountze firm was reflected in the per-
sonal life of Herman Kountze. He was
careful and judicious in all his deal
ings, and as such frequently exercised
a beneficial restraint on those around
him. At the same time he was not I'M
progressive, but always gave his sup
port to forward movements that were
really well calculated for the good and
upbuilding of the city and the country.
Herman Kountze will long be re-
membered in Omaha for his participa-
ton in the movements that have re-
suited in the growth of the city from
the condition of a frontier trading
post, such as it was when he found It,
to its present aspect of metropolitan
solidity and beauty. He will be greatly
missed by those personal friends who
were admitted to his intimacy, and his
death will leave a large vacancy in the
local business world.

HAIL AND FAREWELL.
Remarks Anent the Approaching
Doom of the Railroad Pass
Indianapolis News.

Doom of the Railroad Pass.
indianapolis News
II "a announced that the railroads of both
tho Central and Western associations have
decided TO cut on all passes and free trans
portation January /. The new law passed
bv the late congress forbids the issuing OF
masses for interstate travel except In GER
tain specified cases. This law could hardly
he effective If the railroads were TO continue
TO issue passes for transportation within the
state. SO the Interstate Commerce COM
mission has ruled that where intrastate
TRANSPORTATION Is used for the purpose of
making an interstate journey the issuance
of such transportation Will come within the
prohibition of the statute. Naturally the
railroads have decided to take no chances.
Their decision is right from every point
of view. II It is wrong for a railroad to
give a pass from indianapolis 10 New York,
n Is quite as wrong for II TO give one from
Indianapolis to Richmond. The principle is
the same in both cases, and IN both cases
It is vicious. A pass is almost never given
except with the thought Of getting some
thing I'm return for it. This Is always so
when Il is given to judge a member OF
the legislature or any other public ofhcer.
There is always an obligation on the man
who travels free. an obligation which Is
only too often performed to the letter. The
pass Is an insidious form OF bribery. II IS
far more effective than the direct giving OF
a sum OF money greatly In excess Of the
price OF the ticket Many men like to travel
free. not only because OF the money saved,
but because OF a sort OF distinction which
the privilege is supposed TO confer. The
average American, thanks to the prevalence
OF the pass evil, is reluctant to pay fare
All other service he expects and Is willing
to pay for But he thinks that the railroad
should serve him without charge. For these
reasons the pass has an influence out OF all
proportion to the money saved.
The decision OF the railroads is wholly in
the interest Of sound morals and clean poll
ties. They should be sustained in It by the
people, who will, we feel sure, cooperate
with them f. every possible way to make It
effective. The pass evil has lasted too lone,
Now Is the time 20 end Il. The railroads
can render no better service 20 the people
than by adhering strictly 20 the decision
which they are said to have made
