relentless and searching , whatever bo its
results. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
DHADWOOD is determined to have a
first class hotel. Deadwood needs noth
ing1 else half HO much. This explains why
her citi'/.ons will contribute $20,000 in
cash to any person , firm or corporation
that will put up a 8100,000 caravansary.
Deadwood is nothing if not enterprising.
GOVBUNOR TiiAYun will not suspend
tlio ofllcialH of the Hastings insane asy
lum , but ho consents to the closest possi
ble investigation of the accusations
made against thorn. Aa it in to bo thor
ough and immediate tlio governor's posi
tion will uot make much difference in
the results.
WOULD it not bo good sense and good
policy for the city to donate to the board
of education for the Farnam school the
adjacent portion of Twenty-ninth street
which has boon abandoned ? The Par-
nam school site is too small. The build
ing will shortly require enlargement ,
and this tract of land is much needed.
SOMICHODY Is wofully neglecting his
duties in repairing unpaved streets. It
is difiicult to fix the blame in u city gov
ernment where responsibility shifts it-
Bolf so reswllly. Most of the unpaved
streets are disgracefully out of repairs as
a result of rucont rains , and sonio city of
ficial should take a hypodermic injec
tion of activity in placing thorn in pas
sable order instead of u 10 days' leave
of absence.
TIIK bill of the newspaper which
printed sheriff sale and foreclosure no
tices in Kansas City last your reached
the handsome sum of f 10,000. Kansas
City has sull'erod more from the reac
tion of tlio last four years than Omaha ,
but she is recovering. Kans'is City en
terprise never sleeps , no matter what
adversities como upon her people. She
now has a fund of $1,000,000 at the dis
posal of n responsible committee to bo
used in bccuring manufactories.
Poitiiion railways arc as enterprising
In the pursuit and as oogor for the cap
ture of what answers thorofor the dollar
as those in America. The "Holy Coat , "
claimed to bo the seamless coat of the
Savior is to bo exhibited at Travo ,
August 22. The Rhino railways are aidIng -
Ing the church in spreading the an
nouncement and are preparing to carry.
40,000 passengers daily to the great re
ligious gatherings which attend the
public exhibition of the sacred relic.
Tin ? now warehouse law will greatly
affect tlio grain shipments horoaftor.
The rnllw.iv * already see that If It is
adopted , instead of rushing the greater
portion of the small grain to market Im
mediately after harvest and shipping
most of tlio surplus corn in January , the
shipments will bo scattered throughout
the year. The surplus will bo moro
readily handled and instead of running
empties wo t to ba llllod by tralnlo.ids ,
the merchandise cars sent west will re
turn loaded with grain and n bettor
equilibrium of trallle will bo forthwith
established.
AccouoiNO to reports received at
Washington , the delay in arranging for
closing the sealing season enabled the
poachort ) to take " 0,000 fur seals ,
and this is quite as likely to bo
under us above tlio number slaughtered.
Anticipating that an arrangement for a
close season would bo made , the po.xoh-
era made haste to secure all they possi
bly could , killing Indiscriminately , and
It is prob.vulo they took moro in the
brief tltuo allowed thorn for operation
than haa boon taken In this way in any
previous Konson. But they all should by
this tlmo have received warning to atop
seal killing , and at tiny rate the worst
that can bo done this year Ivis boon ac
complished. It suggests what would
have happened If the proposal for a
modus vivoudl had failed , justifying the
opinion of exports that the seal would
have boon nearly exterminated by the
snd of the season if the poachers had
joon allowed free way.
VB.Itt.
If all signs do not fall , the your 1891
will bo one of the most memorable in its
contribution to the material prosperity
of Nebraska. Two years ago this state
produced the largest corn crop in its his
tory , but in other respects the agricul
tural results of lint year wore not ox-
coptlonnt , Tito promise of the present
year is highly favorable for nearly all
crops , and if it is realized the ajrgro-
gate value of our agricultural resources ,
with Iho enhanced prices certain to prevail -
vail for tlio next year , will undoubt
edly bo very much larger thr.n
was that of two years asro.
There has boon some com
plaint from portions of the state
of too much rain and in sections the
corn Is reported to bo backward , but it
IB quite I in possible to have a season of
absolutely perfect conditions , and if the
avorngo is higher than usual wo .should
bo satisfied. This is certainly the cose
with regard to small grains , and there
is little reason to fear that It will not
prove to bo so with respect to corn. A
duplication of the unprecedented crop of
1889 is not to bo expected , but undoubt
edly the crop will bo larger than that of
last year and It is assured that every
bushel of it will represent moro money
for the producer.
There is but ono condition marring
the bright outlook for Nebraska's pro
ducers , and that is the transportation
rates. If these wore reduced to a point
which would still leave n fair profit to
the raSl-osuts the farmers of this state
could look forward to the ensuing year as
almost certain to bring thorn a measure
of prosperity greater than they ever ro-
all/.ud in any preceding year. This is
the ono urgent requirement necessary to
render the promise of the year entirely
clear and shadowloss , and it would seem
that the state board of transportation
would see the wisdom of giving this mat
ter its earnest attention without
further delay. There is no valid
reason why this transportation ques
tion should not at ouco receive
the consideration which its croat
importance in relation to the interests
and welfare of Nebraska demands for it.
As TIIK BKK has heretofore siid an
abundant harvest will emphasize the
demand for lower rates moro than ever ,
and although this demand may bo
ignored for a time , it must finally bo
heeded. Why not give it attention now
so that when the harvest comes the pro
ducers of this state can have the advan
tages of reduced rated ? The promised
conditions are most favorable to action
of this kind , the party in power is
pledged to give the producers lower
rates , and Iho authority of the board of
transportation is unquestioned. From
every point of view n grave mistake
will bo made if rates are not reduced
before the growing crop is ready for
market.
Largo crops in Nebraska this year
will moan not only an immediate in
crease of prosperity for every interest
in the state , but the beginning of a now
era of progress thut will bring n largo
permanent addition to the productive
forces and the wealth of the state.
They will not only p'.aco ' our producers
in a position to relieve themselves of a
considerable part of the burden of in
debtedness which has boon oppressing
them for the past few years , but will fur
nish such reassurance of the capabili
ties of Nebraska as cannot fail to at
tract both population and capital. The
fullest benefits to our farmers of good
crops will not bo realized , however , un
less transportation rates shall bo made
moro favorable , nnu while nature is do
ing so wall for our farmers the trans
portation board should uot fail of its
duty. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TIIK WAnKUOUSK LAW.
An obscure weekly newspaper at Lin
coln , which claims to represent the
farmers of Nebraska , has the infinite as
surance to attack the merits of the now
warehouse law and presumes to say that
its advantages to the farmer are doubtful ,
because of the expense incident to ila
enforcement.
The solo cause of this exhibition of
spleen , for it is nothing but spleen , is the
fear on the part of a nanow minded ed
itor that possibly Omaha may profit
somowluit by the workings of the law ,
and TIIK BKK receive some credit for
advising farmers and others of the ben
efits to bo derived therefrom.
The most serious difficulty which has
presented itself to the Nebraska farmer
aside from tlio question of grain rates ,
has been the unfair grading of Nebraska
grain in the Chicago markets , and so in
tlio markets of the world. All grain exported -
ported from this state passes an inspec
tion and , of course , the cost of that in
spection is paid by the producer. If the
inspectors are appointed in Nebraska
the cost of inspection is not increased
and the farmer wlllba directly benefited
by u fairer grading of his product It is
all nonsense to sny that the warehouse
bill will impoao now burdens upon the
farmer. On the contrary it raises an
omb irgo which , by low grading , has ser
iously oppressed Nebraska grain grow
ers. Under the now law the inspection
is made in our own elevators instead of
those in the eastern markets and wo
should have a standard which all grain
dealers will accept and on which pur
chases and sales will ba mado.
The farmer now pays the storage
charges , either In the reduced price
paid for his grain by the local dealer , or
indirectly to the eastern warehouse
men. While paying these .storage
charges ho realizes no advantage from
the storage In improved markets. Ho
Is forced under the present system to
sell his product olthur from want of
granaries or to moot pressing necessities
regardless of tlio condition of the mar
ket. Ho la.nt the moroy of the dealers
In Chicago who may I'ornor the early
harvest blilpmontj or glut the market
with ovortmlpmonU. 11 u must lake the
price offered him whuthar it ba remun
erative or otherwise.
Under the now law a system of ware-
hoiibo receipts is established which bo-
coma negotiable credits tobouscd either
in making sales direct or as collateral
for loans at bank. A blmllar law is in
force in Illinois , Now York and other
Mates , and Its advantages are acknowl
edged by Intelligent people every whore.
The now law not only enables the farmer
to market his grain at will , instead of
being forced to ship at low prices when
hU judgment and experience assures
him a better market later In the year ,
but it builds up local grain Btorugo cen
ters and will eventually make of Omaha
tlio grain market of the west. Any man
too blind to sco the advantages of the
now system of handling grain , Is either
a knave or an Ignoramus and it matters
very little which. Ills opinion in olthor
case is worthless.
TUB BIB will continue to point out
the advantages whlph are cortiln to ac
crue if the system is adopted. It will
also urge local alliance loaders to
abandon a part of their politics and
their vagaries so as to give this prac
tical subject attention. If the farmers
do not care to pay storage to tholr local
elevator raon they can build their own
elevators and warehouses and save to
thomsolvcs both storage and insurance.
There is moro to bo gained by taking
advantage of the warehouse law than in
listening to the platitudinous cant of
walking delegates without business sense
or honesty.
SRNAIUH SHKHMAJf.
The Ohio republican platform com
mands the patriotic services of Sanator
John Sherman , and at the recent state
convention the distinguished statesman
was received with enthusiastic manifes
tations of ostoem. Yet Senator Sher
man has enomlos among the republic
ans of Ohio who would bo glad of the op
portunity to retire him from public life.
Ho has not boon able to satisfy every
body , and some of these whoso resent
ment lie has incurred are rolontloss.
There are aspiring politicians who think
ho has had enough of honors and
ought to stop aside for some other
man. There are others who are
hostile to his financial views and
would like to remove from him the op
portunity to exert his strong influence
in shaping the policy of the govern
ment. The legislature to bo olootod in
Ohio this voar will choose a successor to
Senator Sherman , and because of the
elements in his own party opposed to
him there is greater uncertainty re
garding the choice of a republican legis
lature than there is of the election of
the republican state ticket. The mal
contents understand that if a republican
legislature is chosen It will almost cer
tainly re-elect Senator Sherman , and
hence they are likely to cast tholr votes
for democratic legislative candidates.
Those farmers who are identifying them
selves with the third party movement ,
mainly because of their opposition to the
financial views of Sherman , are pretty
sure to cast their votes for democratic
candidates.
The republicans of Ohio can bettor
afford to loose their state ticket than
to allow Son.itor Sherman to bo sacri
ficed. Ho is of far moro value to the
party in the national senate than Major
McKlnloy could possibly bo in the office
of governor. They may bo able to win
the battle , but just now it appears to bo
probable that they will loose the legis
lature , and if they could bo advised by
the party at lurgo they would concen
trate their greatest efforts upon legis
lative candidates. To replace Senator
Sherman with a democrat , particularly
if ho should bo of the Brice
standard , would bo a political
misfortune not alone for Ohio
but for the country. Senator Sherman
is needed where ho is. and there has
perhaps never boon greater need for him
there than there is at present. This is
realized not only by republicans every
where who appreciate his great ability ,
but by others wbo are not in sympathy
with him politically. The Now York
Evenintj Post says of him : ' 'Inripo ex
perience as a public man , in proved
qualifications for the sonatorship , in ob
vious fitness to render the state olToctivo
service during the next few years in
that olllco , no Ohio republican is for a
moment to bo thought of in compari
son with John Sherman. If the sober
judgment of members of the party
throughout the country could bo
pronounced , it would prove all but
unanimous in the opinion that the best
interests of the nation dictate his ro-
oloction. Nay , moro ; oven those demo
crats who most strongly oppose his
position on the tariff will concede that
if any republican is to bo chosen , ho is
the man who ought to have the place.
The case is so plain and strong that
there is no room loft for argument. "
Testimony of this kind regarding the
claims of Senator Sherman , from a
journal which is uncompromisingly
hostile to his tariff views , and which
probably could not bo induced to say as
much for any other republican , ought to
have great weight with Ohio republic
ans. It attests the commanding
position which Senator Sherman occu
pies us a statesman and tlio great confi
dence that is felt in him by thoughtful
men outside his owii'party , and surely
Ohio cannot nITord to permit such a man
to bo retired at i tirao when the demand
is most urgent for the ablest men in congress -
gross of sound financial views. The
most vital part of the Ohio contest ,
viewing it broadly , relates to the sona
torship , and upon this the republicans of
that state should concentrate their
greatest zeal and onnrgy. Tills they
will do if they regard the best judgment
of the party elsewhere.
GKHMANY , Austria , Italy and Switzer
land have formed n formidable zollvoroin.
Tlio now combination will probably force
an agreement between England'Franco
and Russia , including incidentally the
Scandinavian and Spanish monarchies.
A foreign correspondent regards Ameri
can diplomacy as decidedly stupid ba-
cause the country has not la ken sides
with ono combl tatlon or the other , or
thrown Us weight against tlio proposed
y.ollvoroln. In the judgment of most
Americans the neutral position of this
government is the correct ono. The less
wo have to do with the diplomatic con
troversies of Kuropo the better.
Tun announcement that the sohemo
of a commercial union between Gar-
many , Austria , Hungary , Italy and
Switzerland has baon consummated is a
matter of Interest to this country , but it
is not apparent that it portends any
serious consequences to our trade with
those countries. The zollveroin would
seem to bj a defensive urrnngomont
rather against Great Britain and Franco
than ag.ilnst the United State.- * , which
sells to the countries in the union litt lo
except food supplies which they need
and must continue to buy whenever
they cannot pr I co enough to supply
the homo doi ltud. The commercial
union will probably apply chiefly to
manufactured j ducts , and In that case
the Interests ofuho United States will
bo llttlo affoti9il. { It cannot Increase
the production of broadstulTs , and for
these the /oUrprjiln nations must still
look mainly to'jTils country. Wo have
perhaps never boon loss con corned than
now regarding Jj.nny commercial ar
rangements which I3uropo.au countries
may enter into t'&woon ' themselves , and
as rociproclty'urogrossos our interest
In the matter will further decline. For
Great Britain , however , the continen
tal commercial union may moan some
thing quiet serious.
JAMKS G. BI.AINK has sot the pace
for the diplomacy of the world. Eight
ministers of parliament are urging com
mercial reciprocity. The present pre
mier is a rank free-trader and may not
lake kindly to the American Idea.
Nevertheless the pressure is being ap
plied to induce him to learn a lesson of

tary of state.

BBITUICK , Nob. , Juno 21. [ Special to TUB
UEK. | 1 have road Mr. Rosowator's editor
ial card of May 23 , entitled "Tho Path to
Salvation. " There Is no doubt that the re
publican party has In some respects failed to
keep full puce with tlio needs of the times ,
and to redeem Its nloilgoi In .somo Important
particulars , nnd the nido shaking up thnt It
received Hst fall was a wholesome lesson , by
which , I triMt , the party will prollt.
"The faults of the republican party , how
ever , have been those of omission nnd not of
commission. There has been the failure to
adopt some measures and to do some arts
which Its platform had pledged , or which the
progress of the ago demanded. There should ,
undoubtedly , hnve boon , for Instance , nn act
of congress' establishing postnl telegraphy.
There should have boon the very promptest
nnd oxtromost measures to put down "trusts"
nnd nil combinations to limit production and
Increase the cost of living.
The question of the transportation of the
Croat staple products of the countrv should
have boon handled fearlessly , promptly , but
cautiously , to the end that Justice should bo
done nllko to the people nnd to the railroads ,
the producer , the carrier and the consumer ,
for their rights are count , their interests nre
Identical. Thus In some particulars the re
publican party has lagged somewhat , yet I
think it will be found that the main suppo rt
of these nnd all matters of reform have como
from the republican party , and thnt the fail
ure to adopt the snuio lias been owing to the
almost solid opposition of the democratic
party. On the other hand nil the good legis
lation of the past thirty years has been the
work of the republican party , the result of
many n hard fought political battle before
the people nnd in the balls of legislation.
I do uot apprehend danger of the dissolu
tion or ultimate defeat of the republican
party In NebrnsKii , or in the nation. Tlint
party contains the pruat built of the brain
nnd brawn of the progressive element of ttiu
people of the United States. Its failure to
moot all pledges and its temporary dofnai
have uhko been the result of apathy. There
has been failure to attend the primaries and
to secure the nomination of the best men to
the legislature and to all oillcos , Tlio party
machinery has in many instances been al
lowed to irot into the control of Inferior and
unfit men who have used it to further , of
course , their owr selfish ends. The remedy
for this is simply for the peopleto give per
sonal attention and attendance at the prima
ries ; see to it that good men are nominated
nnd then support them nt the polls and after
word lot there bo n healthy public opinion
that will make It impossible for n representa
tive to betray his constituents nnd afterward
live In the community ho has misrepresented
und all will bo right.
I do not think it would be advisable to call
an extra session or the legislature. In fart ,
I hnvo not yet been nblo to conceive of a con
dition of things that would justify the callIng -
Ing together of that body. Its assembled as-
sluinity wns n menace to all the business nnd
material interests of the stnto , from the evil
effects of which wo shall bo fortunate , and
should bo devoutly thankful , if wo recover In
ton years. Its final adjournment caused a
thrill of satisfaction from ocean to ocean , nnd
n sigh of relief that shall not for some time
cease to reverberate down the corridors of
tlmo. No , aon't lot us hnvo any moro of It.
Wo should hnve , must have , and surely
will have such action by the state board of
transportation ns will give us fair rates of
freight on farm products to eastern markets ,
nnd on the main staples from eastern
markets lo our doors. This Is demanded ns
well in the interest of the pcoplo as of the
railroads. Neither of the maximum freight
bills before the legislature last winter were
in the interests of the people of Nebraska.
The net result of either of those bills , Und it
became law , would have boon to increase the
cost of getting our farm produce to Chicago ,
Now York , nr other markets outside of No-
brasku , and to Increase the cost of getting nil
kinds of merchandise from those eastern
markets to Nebraska.
The fact was that the legislature did not
know anything at nil about what would bo
the practical result of the adoption of the
bills in question , nor were nny steps taken to
obtain nuy information on the subject. No
comparison was made of the schedules in
legislature simply "wont it blind. " The con
stituencies wore supposed to Insist on n max
imum freight law nnd the members would
votn for one , good , bad or indifferent. The
question wns not taken up until most of the
sosslon hud been fooled and frittered away nnd
llieio remained not sulllcient time for the in
telligent consideration of n measure of such
importance. At that stage it would have
been a much bettor plnn to have appointed n
commission to thoroughly investigate the
subject nnd formulate a schedule for the con
sideration of n future legislature or for adop
tion by the stnto board of transportation.
There Is no ground for the starting of n
now party. Great parties cannot bo made
uy the process known to dissatisfied nnd dis
gruntled politicians , but for the foundation
of such n party there must bo some great liv
ing principle denied by existing parties , n
principle , too , that appeals to human nature ,
to nil men uhko. Such wns the grer.t prin
ciple of human liberty , of opposition to the
.spread of slavery , that o tiled the republican
party into existence ; that enlisted the ablest
minds and wannest hearts In its cause.
The proposed now party , farmers' alliance ,
independent or people's party , stands on no
such ground nnd it is simplv nn abrogation
of the elements of discontent engendered Oy
the monetary stringency of the tlmos , and
being such , a good crop nnd good prices and
the good times that will surely follow will
melt it away llko frost before u July
sun. It may bo very safely prodlctod
that while this proposed now party , by what
ever name called , may temporarily oauso ro-
pablicnn defeat nud democratic NUCCOSS , It
can have no positive .success of its own or be
come a permanent factor In American pol
itics. It lacks two essentials of success
principles and brains , "Eight hou s n day's
work except on farms" won't do for n prin
ciple nnd the Jerry Simpsons , PoffeiM and
Powers don't furnish suftlciont brains.
No , wo must continue to look to the repub
lican party und the elements that compose It
for the success of all true political principles
nnd for ail progress. That party comprises
nnd holds within itself the progressive mind
of the country , nnd uny now party advocating
nny true reform must bo carved out of the
republican party , and any p.uty carved out
of that parly must bo loss than the whnlo
party both In number nnd capacity. The errors -
rors nun failures of the psrty in the past have
been solely owing to the failure of the body
of the party to tnko an interest nnd hand in
Iho working of tno party machinery. They
hnvo the remedy wholly in their own hands
and I trust will use it.

"Mr. Kosowater gave the republicans of

"What nro the prospects in the Second

"Well , it is difficult to say Just at present.
Wo shall know bettor nftcr the fall election
Is past und the candidates for congres
sional honors in 1S9J begin to pull the wires.
There Is ono Ihlng , Ihoinjh , lhat .you may

this : The plaoo hunters in the republican
party who have boon dodging from ono
fnt job to another for the past Ion
or fifteen years must get down und out nnd
let some of these who Imvo uphold the heavy
end of the load tuko the lead. The people of
Nebraska are tired of seoine professional
place humors constantly dropping into fat
positions. It seems that us soon us they llnish
one Job they stop right into .something clso.

cced until it shuttles off this nrmv of leeches

"It may , but I doubt 1U"
Mayor Clnrkson I do not think Iho ex
periment of un extra session would compen
sate the people of Nebraska for the money it
would co-it. The record made by the last
session of the legislature wns not of such a
character ns to give any bopo thnt nny very
boncllciul results might bo hoped for by the
calling of n special session. So fur as
railroad rates are concerned , I think
the Nowborry bill would huvo boon n ruin
ous measure if It hud boon permitted to become
como n law. I am in favor of fair mid just
rates but I do not believe the calling of u spe
cial session of the legislature would nccomp
lish that und.
Wm. Coburn I nm opposed to n spoclo' '
session. Oivo us anything but thnt. The
logislaturb is Inimical to Douglas county ,
nnd would hurt us if it could. They loft us
in pretty good shape , and I bollovo In letting
well enough alone. I don't want to see these
men go back to this Icgislaturo or nny other.
If there is anything to be done lot us have
tbo luws wo'vo already got enforced , but
don't turn that legislature loose again to
make nny moro laws. That would bo Jump
ing out of the frying pan into the lire. _ A
general feeling of relief was experienced
when they adjourned , und It would bo flyln
in the face of providence to cull them
