Council Bluffs is also working to-
ward municipal ownership of its water
works, but the Council Bluffs authori-
ties are not entangled by any compul-
sorry purchase laws such as that with
which Omaha has been tripped up. 1t
is purely a question across the river
as to whether a mutually acceptable
valuation can be reached, and when
the decks are cleared from the mass Of
litigation Omahas water problem is
likely to assume the same shape.

Some of these anthropologists become
disappointing when they tell us what to
look for as the coming man. Prof, MCGEE
finds that the Americans of tomorrow are
already represented among us in the type
OF John D. Rockefeller. Anthropologically,
Mr.. Rockefeller strikes the professor as a
forerunner OF our grandchildren and their
children, although he does not guarantee
that the coming Americans will all be
blessed with the Rockefeller purse. II
this is anthropology, It is the new dismal
science, for It would be depressing to be-
lieve that Mr. Rockefeller is the type Of
the American OF the future. In our judg-
ment, he is likely TO become as extinct
type as the prehistoric skeleton recently
dug up In Nebraska.

South Omaha boasts that it has re-

amount Of money as interest on de-

previous period. Yet whether this is

other conditions. If at the same time

1t is desirable that the National Guard
shall be equipped with the new Springfield
rifle which the army nov carries. II is
found, however, that this can not be done
without a special provision of law. Under
the existing conditions the militia must
continue to carry the Krag rifle and this
will mean that the militia will have one
kind of ammunition and the army another,
which, of course is far from an arrange
ment for the best interests of the service.

War department an amendment of the

1t may be that the decision Of Judge

THE coNeREssIoNAL PROSPECT.

THE CONGRESSIONAL PROSPbCI
The forecast of a session of little or
no vital legislation generally made at
the converting of congress and long
before bids fair to be completely veri-
fed. Though more than five weeks
of the session have passed and less
than eight weeks remain almost moth
ing but preliminary organization and
initial committee routine work has
been either accomplished or attempted.
Nor is there any sign of serious pur-
pose in either house to economic time
and subordinate minor matters to the
interests of any of the large subjects
left over from the previous session, or
that have been pushed to the fore in
public consideration in the meantime.
In the senate for the next two weeks
there is, on the contrary, prospect of
a running debate on a variety of top
les, none of it bearing on measures of
first Importance, with how much more
of the like consumption of time be-
yond no one can now foretell. 1t is
obvious that elaborate speeches on the
Brownsville case alone will occupy sew
eral weeks, though the only practical
point involved is whether certain in
vestigation shall be made or the man
ner of it. If there we're definite con-
cert among a considerable senatorial
clique to have a do-nothing session,
the Brownsville incident would of
course afford a convenient pretext and
the course of events would be about
as it seems now to be outlined
In fact, the great supply bills that
will soon be coming out of committee
to take right-of-way on the calendars
will practically monopolize the remain
ing weeks of the session unless con-
gress shall bestir itself far more ener-
getically than there is now any good
ground to expect.

The adjutant general of Iowa has in

lotment Of state. 1t is held that the
preparation of a title and of making tenn
porary surveys may be paid out of the
fund, but that the payment of a considera-
ton for options on land, which is not ulti-
mately purchased, is not a proper charge
against the allotment II is held that the
payment of such expenses from a state
allotment would only be proper where the
acquisition of the range is eonsummated
and that the surveying OF a proposed range
and the obtaining of options for lands,
which were not later acquired. can not
properly be charged to the allotment.

The War department has passed on the
question OF whether fuel may be sold to
the families of enlisted men of the army
who are absent in the Philippines. 1t is
considered that this may be done to a
limited extent, but in general it is held
there is no authority in law for the sale
of fuel to the families Of enlisted men at
les sthan cost. 1t has been decided that In
cases in which the department commander
certifes that It is necessary as a means OF
protection to public buildings the expendi-
ture of not exceeding 800 pounds OF coal
per month may be authorized for each set
of quarters occupied in this way. The
authority thus conferred will expire on
March 81. The privilege Of purchasing fuel
at less than cost price has always been
restricted by statute to commissioned ofh-

The War department has received a reply

In the New York papers some weeks ago

officer. Quotations from this letter have

las entertaining much discomfort because
he was not selected for duty with the gen.
eral staff He was made to say that there
was prejudice against himself among
members Of the general stan because Of his
German birth. Captain Reichmann has
acknowledged the authorship of the letter
but has explained that the circumstances
under which It was written relieved him
from any culpability. Indeed, there Is
nothing in the letter which might not have
been written with perfect frankness by any
army officer to an intimate friend. 1t was
an indiscretion OF the recipient Of the letter
and lack OF good taste exhibited in that
quarter that made 1t necessary for the War
department to call upon Captain Reich
mann for an explanation. The subjects Is
likely TO be dropped and It Is probable that
Major General Bell, who will make a recon-
mendaton in the matter, will suggest that
no further action be taken.
