Mr.. Bryan's expressions of gratifica-
ton over his reception in the east may
well be credited. He has certainly
been the recipient of an extraordinary
tribute which moved from persona!
good will without partisan limitations,
and any American should be proud OF
such honorable distinction. b..
In its partisan aspects-for no one
would be dull enough to associate
them from the Homecoming demon
stration--the AFFAIR cannot in candor
be regarded as having turned out so
auspiciously either for Mr.. Bryan as
political leader or for his party. His
paramount procurement eliminating
in the committal to government own
ership and operation of railroads. is
already a conclusive disappointment In
powerful and respectable elements In
the democratic party that have been
looking forward, more or less hope
fully, for a more temperate and prac-
ticA attitude on his part as the excuse
for a union of party factions, together
with important forces not heretofore
for decade acting with the demo-
cracy, under his leadership in the ma
tional contest two years hence. The
signs of disapproval In these quarters
have been promptly and unmistakably
displayed They are the more signifi-
cant because accompanied by the ad-
mission that his nomination seems
nevertheless inevitable and that there
fore the fatal effect Of his fault of
judgment will fall upon the party.
In the west. and especially in Ne
braska, which justly takes pleasure in
honoring a distinguished citizen, Mr..
Bryan's welcome will be none the less
cordial. For the moment, at least, po-
litical considerations will properly
give way TO good fellowship and
friendly and neighborhood relations.
| Yet when Mr.. Bryan, the friend, the
neighbor and the distinguished fellow
citizen, shall have been warmly and
sincerely welcomed home. 1t is. likely
that his broad relations as a public
character and partisan leader win ap-
pear in substantially the same light as
in the east.

HELPlNa ouR MEAT TRADE.

Elaborate investigation of slaughter
places, meat markets and canning fac
tories throughout Great Britain is pro-
ducing already notable reaction o:
public sentiment touching the general
subject Of meat supply. The exposures
oficially aid indubitably certified have
been such as to cause deliberate con-
fession in the public press, in the mu-
nicipal governing bodies and on the
floor of Parliament itself. that the
worst exceptional conditions reported
early in the year in the Chicago stock
yard district have long been the rule,
and today still commonly exist, In the
British meat trade. The details which

Such state of facts could not fail
to inure to the benefit of our western
live stock growers and the slaughter
ing and packing industries for which
they furnish the raw materials. and
the evidences are multiplying that the
restoration OF our export meat trade is
already in rapid progress. Indeed,
popular demand in Great Britain for
our meat products is visibly asserting
itself by way of protection against the
dangerous and repulsive conditions in
the local'slaughter places.
Nothing could more signally Yindi'
cate President Roosevelt's wisdom in
frankly and boldly facing the facts Of
our own packing house conditions and

TROUBLES OF RAILROAD NAsxGERs.

TROUBLES OF RAILROAD Managers.
The large number. of suits. brought
against the Pennsylvania Railroad
company by independent coal dealers
who allege they have been damaged
by determinations on the part of the
company Is an indication that the new
rate law is not the only trouble in
store for the railroad managers. These
suits have nothing to do with the. new
rate law, but are the outgrowth of
the Investigations of the Interstate
Commerce commission. Neither is

the Investigations showed had been
guilty of determinations from which
favored shippers benefited. The era

MES in which in many instances the
officers OF the road were interested.
If In addition to the loss of revenue
from the first transaction the stock
holder is to be mulcted again for the
payment of damages to the injured
parties. the annual meetings OF these
corporations are likely to witness
many changes in the managing on
cials of the companies.
When the investigations into trust,
railroad and insurance methods and
management first started few thought
It would be more than a passing
shower, but 1t developed into a gen.
eral rain. and though. the precipita-
ton is already above the ten-year
average, there is no indication of a
let up. The damage cases already
filed are not SUFFICIENT to make per-
ceptible inroads upon dividends and
probably never will be. They do
promise, however. to AFFORD the rail-
road attorneys an opportunity TO earn
their salaries and the courts to work
full time along with the other indus
tries.
Unless a check is put upon these
annoyances of the railroad magnates

midable obstacles until he becomes an Inn
pressive figure. Mr.. Rosewater was in
many respects very like Mr.. Pulitzer OF the

OF Pulitzer of the west. His newspaper
has been a clean and important one and
has stood for high ideals in state, city and
national affairs. MIR. Rosewater was him
self the very embodiment of politics. yet he
was known as a patron OF the arts and lit
