S county has soloutod a clean nnd intelligent delegation to the state convention. Other counties will bo equally well represented. It is now almost certain tlmt the coming tstato convention will not only bo the largest gathering of representative republicans that has over mot la this state , bu also the first convention hold in many ycara that is in nccon ! with the sentiment of- the rani and fllo at the party. It only remains for the convention to nominate men whoso records are unassailable ou a platform that expresses in terse and forcible ) terms the views of the party on the vital Issues of the hour. 1IVMT Will * IT COST ? In advocating the ship subsidy bills wforu congress Snnator Fryo submitted cstimnlqa of the cost of the proposed pol- cy to tlio government. Ono of these vas mitdo by the commissioner of navi gation , who estimated that for the llrst , -ear the i'ost would bo a little less than , hrco million dollars , from which it would gradually Increase until in ton vcars It- would amount to seven mil- Ion dollars , the proposal of the uubaltly bill being to bind the govern ment to the policy for fifteen years. Sen ator Fryo was a little loss conservative than the commissioner of navigation , , saying that ho should bo disappointed if the aggregate In throa or four years did lot rise to seven or eight mil- Ion dollars a year. "Tho larger the flguro it reaches , " remarked .ho Maine senator , "tho more elTectlt will have upon commerce. " The difference in the estimates ot the commissioner of navlga- , lon and those of Senator 'rye are suggestive. It is simply im- lOHslblo to say with any degree of ac curacy what the probable cost of this Hubshly business would bo in any year or 'or ' a series of years , because , the dITect of the policy in stimulating ship build- ng is wholly uncertain. If it would lave any such influence as its advocates irofcss to believe the figures of the an- uuil increase of tonnage upon which , lie estimates of the commissioner of navigation are made are : ir too small and Senator- i'ryo is the more nearly correct. But ho ilso was careful , eonsidorinjj what the subsidy advocates -promise the country , with much patriotic rhetoric , would fol- , ho adoption of their plan of restoring .ho nation's merchant marine. Accord- ng to this wo should in a few years bo u a position of indopondencD of foreign ship owners and bo fully provided with , ho facilities for transporting our prod ucts of the farm and factory to every land that wn'itod ' them. Certainly if this were attained seven or eight million dollars an- mally would fall short of piying the subsidies. The demand on the public Ireasury would bo several times that unount. Apart from the objection to the princi ple of subsidies , which the largo major ity of tlio American people regard as 4 s- sontliilly hostile to our governmental system , this uncertainty as to cost is a reasonable ground of opposition to the proposed policy. No trustworthy estimate - mate regarding it is possible and a schema of public expenditures intended Lo bo continued for a number of years , the cost of which cannot bo ascer tained with any degree of certainty , Is ono to bo avoided. Moreover , if there Is any danger that after the government was committed to this policy it would [ ail to produce the effect expected of it , it would bo wiser not to adopt it. This subject has never boon presented with greater plausibility than by its present advocates , but they have not succeeded any hotter than their predecessors in demonstrating that it is the duty of the government to take the money collected in tuxes from the whole people and thus apply it to the direct prollt ot the few. Every American citizen would like to see his country possessing the moans of its own to transport its products to other lands , but while there is another way of attain ing this desirable condition the great majority of American citizens will not approve the subsidy policy. The party In control of congress should think twice before taking a leap in support of sub sidies. JOHN C. I'llUMONT. 'Among tho.prominont Americans of a past generation few occupied so largo a place in the attention and esteem of their countrymen ns the late General John C. Fremont , who died in Now York on Sunday , after a very brief illness. The story of his life is tinged with more of romance than that of any other American of his time , hut It was a life into which there catered also much that was practical and greatly use ful to the country. The early years of Ills manhood found him exploring the vast wilderness of the west between the Missouri river and. the Pacific ocean , und in this service ho earned the title of the "Pathfinder " which the , was proud est over bestowed on him. In the per formance of this dilHcult and dangerous duty , to which ho brought excellent judgment , dauntless courage and inde fatigable zeal , ho achieved world-wide fame and opened to the knowledge of his countrymen a , region whoso splendid possibilities ho lived to see largely devel oped. To Fromontmoro than to any other man , was duo the acquisition of Califor nia , and if there were nothing else in his eventful career to entitle him to an honorable - orablo place among the patriotic and useful citizens of the republic that fact would do so. His imtno and fame nro indissolubly associated with the his tory of California , which ho represented in congress as ono of the first senators from that state. Although bora in the south and living there until his majority Fromonttictivoly identified himself with- the anti-slavery cause , and when the republican party was organized it selected him as its fir.it candidate for the presidency. Ills nomi nation was received with enthusiasm und the campaign was ono of the most memorable In the history of the coun try. But Fremont hud little taste fet polffics , und ho did not pursue the op portunity for political preferment which this prominence gave him. As a majoi general during the war of the rebellion ho performed some valuable service , but did not fully moot the expectations of his admirers. An event of this period o his cnroor which illustrated that qunlltj of his chnraotor 'which led him to net promptly upon his convictions , was the issuing of a proclamation , while ho was In command of the western department , freeing the slaves within his military jurisdiction. The notion was premature but it was highly approved by those wlu believed this to bo a proper and certain way of crippling the confederates , and had a very considerable influence ii shaping public sentiment In favor of oraan clpatlon. General Fremont putrlotlcallj refused to countenance the movement o the national republicans In 160 i who wore dissatisfied with the luimlnlstra tloii ) and declined to run as their cixudl lute for the proiildoney. For'tx quarter of ti century ho hml boon little Before the lubllc eye , though not all the tlmo inac- Ivo , und not the loiut , tmoful part of his abor during this tlmo was the prepara tion of Ills memoirs. It was in grateful recognition of his important norviccs to the country that the present t-on- jrcss placed him on the retired 1st of the army 113 n major general at lialf pay. The death of General Fremont will bo widely regretted , for ho had a host of warm friends in every portion of the country who esteemed him for his per sonal worth not loss than they honored ; ilm for what ho had accomplished , and -here will bo universal sympathy for the noble woman who for more than half u century has boon his almost constant companion and his wisest counselor. TIIK CKNTRAI , AMKKIVAN A dispatch from the City of Mexico umounces a warlike state of affairs in Central America. Salvador continues the scone of serious 'popular dis turbance , and the revolutionary spirit is as active as at any time since it mani fested itself just preceding the assassi nation of Moncndoz. Meanwhile Guate mala , whoso influence in the allairs of Salvador is responsible in largo part for the existing situ ation , is preparing for a con flict that appears highly probable. She has twenty thousand troops on the frontier to repel an invasion should Salvador vader attempt to cater her territory , und intends to put forty thousand sol diers In the field. Salvador is also Bald to ha raising an equal army , but in view of the condition of popular tumult in that country and the fact that the now government under Ezota , is not sup ported by the whole people and is not recognized by the other gov ernments , the task of raising and equipping an army able to cope with that of Guatemala would seem to bo an extremely dillleult one. It might bo rendered loss so in the event of an Inva sion by Guatemala , in which case the patriotism us well as the material in terests of the people would bo invoked , but the government of Guatemala will undoubtedly bo satisfied with protecting its own soil against Invasion. Five yours ago the then dictator ol Guatemala , General Barrios , lost his life in an invasion of Salvador , and when his successor undertook to con tinue his policy Mexico called him to a halt. 11 is more than probable that an other attempt by Guatemala to impose a policy on Salvador by force of arms would bo mot by Mexican interposition. The source of the difllculty is found in the effort to establish a Central Ameri can union. Under Mcnoiidoz , who owed his political elevation to the influence of Guatemala , Salvador was commit ted in favor ol the federa tion , but a vary largo party ia that country , perhaps a majority of the people , are opposed- the scheme on the ground that it would result in giving Guatemala a predominating1 power In the union , having with her Honduras , . whoso policy she practically controls. Hence the revolution , which struck its first fatal blow at the creature of Guate mala , Monondoz. The sympathies of- Costa Rica nnd Nicaragua nro under stood to bo with Salvador , but it is not reported that any prepara tions of a warlike nature nro mak ing in those countries. A convention to carry into effect the proposed federation already agreed to was provided for to beheld hold in September , and it is thought hostilities will not occur before then. If Salvador is not represented in the con vention Guatemala and Honduras may endeavor to force her into the union. A conflict of arms between those stutcs might not bo of long duration , but it would doubtless bo a very interesting struggle while it lusted , although past outbreaks between Central American states have not as a rule boon of an extremely - tromoly sanguinary character. Mean while , there appears little chance of a union of these states being effected in the near future. - SEIllOUS PROPOSITIONS. The tarifT bill that is to bo discussed in the senate this week , when carefully analyzed , shows that some commodities are given the preference. The main feature of the bill as it is now presented seems to bo to increase the duty on almost every article of fool and clothing used by the people. In doing this the , result is a "revision of the tariff , " hut the revision appears to bo on the wrong articles. For instance' , the duty on tin plate is to bo increased from 1 cent to 2.2 cents a pound. With this increased duty on tin half the canning factories in the country , it is claimed , must close. But the fact that the tin soldier is to bo subdued is well worth the sacrifice. The bill appeals to all kinds of-pooplo. Cabbages are tuxod three cents each in order to decrease the consumption of sauorkruut. The pauper hen of Europe * Is to have her product protected by a duty of five per cent on oggs. The egg market is now opea to the world , but pro hibitionists want a stale arti cle to hcavo ut high llconso debaters. Cheese Is taxed ix cents per pound while diamonds are free. This Is done to appease the wrath of the aristocrats who would rather wear diamonds than carry Llmburger cheese la their pockets. Potatoes are taxed twcnty-flvo cents u bushel , but Ivory is free. A hungry man who cannot ullord to pay twenty-live cents tax on his potatoes can pick his tcotli with an elephant's tusk und imag ine that ho has boon to dinner. Butter is taxed six cents per pound , but as human hair is free smugglers may bo ublo to get in their work uud escape the duty on butter. The fact that moat all luxuries are free shows the wisdom of the bill. But few people can afford luxuries unless they are free , while wo till must luivo the nec essaries of life. It is understood that the Nebraska delegation will attempt to got whale blubber und Mother Hubbard squashes on the free list , If they succeed , it will bo the trium ph of a lifetime.

Tlio LiHicrnl Commission. Custcr Leader. Had anyone thought that there was n strong probability that A. G.

Rapid Cltn ( S. D. ) Journal , Package houses are springing up like mushrooms all over the city. Moro liquor is now being consumed than before prohibition went Into effect.

Sooner than see it "spoil" the liquor la consumed ut ono sitting nnd the consequence is aa increased amount of drunk enness.

It must bo conceded tlmt the reports of the great Joint discussion on thu prohibition ques tion were faithfully roportsd in TUB linn. Messrs. Sin-ill nnd Dicklo nnd their followers have been shown a spirit of fiifrnoss and gen erosity la tliU matter worthy of emulation. Every point they madi > for their cause was carefully recorded and the approving mani festations of the partial audiences noted bo- twom brackets. It Is strong evidence of the fact that at least Mr. Kosowatcr is sincere on ; hla question , nnd ho has been oven moro louoniblo toward his opponents who Insulted ittnwlth hisses m.d Jeers. Messrs. Uoso- Wfttor nnd "Webster hnvo clearly demon strated that there are substimtlnl reasons for the faith there Is In them , and few men oven of their strong conviction * would have been willing as they were to debate a question bo- 'oro an audience unfriendly to thorn. Hut they were aware of the fact that they were i-onlly talking for n larger audlcnco nnd ono that would glvo them respectful attention. Only Ijogl inmto Conclusion. ( Krfd lltnttHgtr in Lincoln ( 'oiirfrr. Sitting In front of the Capital hotel the other' evening A. Q. Wolf en burger , the pro- lilbltlon advocate , conversed on the all pre vailing topic lu a tempamtc , sensible way. lie spoke In coinpllr.ientary terms ot the abil ity and energy of Editor Hosewatcr of Tun OMAHA. BKIJ anil expressed the opinion that that paper was being paid by the liquor In terest for Its light against prohibition. Ho added with unmistakable sincerity that Tin : Dm : was earning every dollar the liquor iiieu ire likely to pay , that Mr. Kosowator Is throwing au Influence and a power Into the campaign with results that the antl-prohl- bUlonists could not secure In any other way with an expenditure of a like sum of money. There Is nothing startling In these state ments. but it Is n bit noticeable that such testimony should have come from such a 80U1VO. U'lio truth of the matter Is that BIr. Hose- water Is a much misunderstood man. Ily thousands of people every utterance of Tin : linn on slate nffulrs is supposed to bo loaded with : nyslio meaning. If a quarter of the surmises were true .they would keep Mr. liosuwatcr nwnlto nlphts laying plans to boost this or tlmt politician Intoofllco. If u liulf of these guesses were facts Mr , Ilose- watcr's tlmo would bo engrossed with n thousand schemes of assorted sizes mid colors. The fear of small fry politicians cou- 'jurcsuii ' shadows that never had nay suh- sUinco In Mr. Rosowntcic's plans. The pre judice and the ignorance of narrow-minded people attribute mean actions nud qualities that would become themselves , but nro fowlgnto him. I do not mean to hold up the Omaha editor ns a paragon , but ! do believe ho Is not a quarter ns bad us ho is painted. Ho has stcpncd on the schemes and ambitions of a thousand men , and they have turned ou him with bitter reviling. Hence the picvnil- ing opinion. Take tlio recent debate at the Beatrice Clinutuuqun assembly between Sam Small and Prof. Diekio for prohibition and Mr. lloscwatcr and John L. Webster against it. Tin : Bin : employed three stenographers to maUo verbatim reports , and It published both sides without abridgement and without any attempt to color the affair. It is not liltely the liquor interest would pay to have prohibition speeches reported and published , ami if the men lu the business are really put- tine up to Tin : Ur.u they would undoubtedly tiavo given n good round sum to prevent these prohibitlou speeches having the bcnclit of Tun Ecu's great circulation. The only legitimate conclusion is that Mr. Rosewater published this debate on his own motion nml at his own expense. And if you will look back over his record you will Hud that that sort of thing has not been uncommon with TUB Bui : . Such coses make mo fool prouder of journalism and of the mon In it. The spirit of fair play manifested by Tim Br.u Is a newspaper vlrtuo beyond the comprehension of the average man , and Mr. Kosownter is oven more of nn enigma to the bigotry and stupidity of the common herd. POLITICAL GOSSIPi Colonel Henry A. Morrow of Ft. Sidney , Neb. , b u candidate for brigadier general , und If a splendid war record will bring him his ucslrod commission , Colonel Morrow will not bo disappointed. Colonel Tom Majors , according to a No- raaha county paper , will ask to bo made gov ernor. Colou el Tom will perhaps continue to ask for an indefinite period of tlmo. It would seem from nn advertisement ap pearing iu his personal mugwump organ that Mr. Broatch could not managohls own coach man during the primaries , as ho did during the last city election. The defeated governor advertises for a new coachman ono neat in personal habits. As Mr. Broatch Is noiv en tirely out of politics It would seem that hereafter - after his coachman could hold his job. Frank "Wright is a candidate for state sen ator from the counties of Nomaha and John son. Nemahu is not entitled , to thatofllco this year , but Mr. Wright wlil contest any way. Joe Lamastor's friends are thinking of pushing him to the front. Joe has "jlned the dlmlerats" because ho was not satisfied concerning the tariff views and some other things of the other party. E. A. Barton Is a candidate for state super intendent of publio instruction and will bring la his county. The Howclls Journal says : "Tho repub lican politicians who underestimate the strength of John M. Thayer nro going to get badly fooled ho is by no menus the political corpse that many of his opponents seem to think him. When the republican state con vention convenes oa the 23d ho will have a following that will surprise some of his oppo nents. " The independents in Washington county haohelda convention nud nominated the following ticket : For representative , S. 11. Splicer ; for float representative , with Hurt county , Uov. John Patrick ; for county at torney , "W. S. Cook ; for state treasurer , Hon. M. Cameron. There seems to bo some difference of opin ion In Dodge county over the right of the Richards men to say that Doivoy should not bo u candidate. "Delegate. " gives his views ou the subject , which are not just in accord with the belief of looker on. The Beatrice Democrat gives this good ad- v'lco as good to republicans a ? to democrats : "If the farmers and worlelnginen do not take an Interest lu the primaries , nnd help run the politics of the county , they will have no ono to blnrao but themselves. Now Is the tlmo W take n hand.
