4 CHANCE FOR HARTMAN.

While Mr.. Hartman is still in the
mood reflected by his interview, con-
Tossing past mistakes and promising
better things in the future. he should
not overlook the opportunity presented
to him right here in Omaha and Ne
braska to make his professions good
by practice. Mr.. Hartman is quoted
as saying
We feel that we are now, all Of us-ths
public, the government and the railways
on common ground where we can deal
with each other in the right spirit. 1 am
more than willing to give my support to
any such practices Of enlightenment. 1 am
ready to make the advancement of such a
scheme Of cooperation my chief interest.
Railroad managers have, 1 am willing to
admit, in the past neglected to build up a
strong, harmonious relationship between
themselves with the government and with
the public. This matter has been left to
subordinate officers and the result has been
that such relations have been completely
neglected. Now we must take the matter
in our own hands in order to bring about
better understanding and cooperation.
Let Mr.. Hartman and his Union
Pacific railroad begin his new policy
of friendly relations with the public
and cooperation with the government
right here and now.
Let him send word to Nebraska to
call off his hired legislative lobbyists
at Lincoln and remove the obstacles
his agents have set up to prevent the
enactment of legislation which Harri-
man, himself, must admit is salutary
and needful.
Among the worst mistakes Mr.. Har-
riman and his associates have made,
so far as cultivating cordial relations
with the public is concerned, was his
refusal to pay the taxes assessed
against the Union Pacific railroad in
Nebraska and his unsuccessful appeal
to the federal courts to sanction this
attempt at tax evasion. Another mis-
take equally inexcusable is the present
attitude of the Union Pacific, in con-
| junction with the other Nebraska
roads, fighting against terminal taxa
llOu III OIuSI W peTpeludJe eAellpIlOu
| from city taxes of railroad properties
enjoying all the benefits of municipal
government. We do not believe Mr..
Hartman would, himself, for a mo-
ment contend that there is any justice
in such railway tax Sinking, and he
certainly cannot expect to get into the
good graces of the people so long as
his railroad persists in making other
property owners pay their own taxes
and then pay taxes for the railroads
besides.
While Mr.. Hartman is in the mood,
too, let him rescind the order that has
been given to abandon preparatory
work for the erection of his new Union
Pacific headquarters building, so
| urgently needed to accommodate off,
GERS and employees. This building has
been promised repeatedly as part con-
| sideration for valuable concessions
given to the Union Pacific by the peo-
ple,of Omaha and reputation of these
promises savors of breaking faith.
If Mr.. Hartman is looking for a
chance to make good, now is the time
and here is the place.

ate. A strong safeguard remains,
however. in the provision which au-
thorizes the secretary to withdraw any
or all of the government deposits from
national banks at any time. The wise
exercise of this authority should ena-
BILE the banks to have ample funds for
legitimate business purposes and at
the same time prevent them from TAX
ing advantage of large accumulations
for speculative purposes.

THE MANILA INCIDENT REVIVED.

Senior Pinay Millet, the new Spanish
minister at Washington, has replied to
the recent assertion of Admiral Dewey
that Providence aided the Americans
in the battle of Manila bay. Senior
Millet insists that 'if Dewey won a
victory over our feet by divine aid, 1
think 1t must be the god of war that
assisted, him, and that aid that steel
and armor can give in conquering
wood" The dispatch quoting the
senor's statement adds that the dig
was given in good nature and with the
expression of hope that the friendship
between the United States and his gov
eminent has been cemented perma-
nently.
With the ninth anniversary of the
battle of Manila bay but a few weeks
away, nothing can be accomplished by
any attempt to revive the argument as
to the causes of the American triumph
in foreign waters, but it will be diff
cult to convince the land lubber that
either Admiral Dewey or Senior Millet
is correct in ascribing the result of
the conflict to anything but naval
superiority. Appropriations for the
Spanish navy had been expended for
the enrichment of official spoilers in
the navy and other branches of the
government, while the American APP
preparations had been used for steel
and armor and fighting equipment.
Furthermore, the Spanish were handi-
capped by a lack Of that valor of
middies that ran riot through Dewey's
feet and has made the american navy
invincible in every emergency.
That is the real explanation of the
victory in Manila bay and the United
States is too busy with other affairs
to reopen the case for the considera-
ton of new evidence or arguments.

Activity of the sweet Tooth.


The consumption of sugar in the United
States last year amounted to seventy-six
pounds for every man, woman and child
in the country. While we grew and made
much sugar ourselves, we imported i'm
mense amounts from Cuba, Germany and
Hawaii. Scientists are now monkeying
with the question whether we do not use
more sugar than is good for us. The trust
pooh-poohs the thought.
