MAYOR CUSJIINO can greatly improve
his administration and make the board of
public works especially creditable to the

preceding , such events wore possible in
Nebraska and no one who recalls the

GKNKKAMA- speaking it is not intel

on an eccentricity as transparent as it is
ill-favored.

TIIK
The position taken by the lown repub
licans on national questions has been
cordially commended by the republican
press of the country. To this extent
the platform Is a clear and sound enun
ciation of republican principles , showIng -
Ing that the party in Iowa is still firm
in the faith and hns the courage of its
convictions. The requirements now are
thorough organization and aggressive
worlc. The fight must bo waged con-
stsintly and vigorously. There should bo
republican clubs organized everywhere.
There Is no more olToctlvo way than
this for putting life and activity
into a campaign and keeping the popu
lar mind engaged In the consideration
of political Issues. A club composed of
Intelligent , energetic and earnest men
is continually at worlc and is n center of
political information and Influence of
great value to a party. Campaign doc
uments have their worth , and it Is Im
portant to disseminate them freely , but
the good they do h not comparable with
the benefits to bo obtained from active
clubs. Undoubtedly the republican
leaders In Iowa appreciate the fact that
the party has a hard fight before
it , and that in order to win
it must have perfect organisa
tion. This ought not to bo dif
ficult of attainment , but the sooner the
work Is entered upon the bettor , because
the opposition is not likely to delay Us
preparations , and it will not lack out
side help both in advice and in more
substantial aid ,
Iowa must bo carried by the republi
cans this year , and it will bo if the right
elTort is put forward and vigorously
maintained. The ticket in one of the
strongest and most popular over pre
sented to the voters of the state , every
man on it being entitled to the respect
and confidence of the people. The con
vention most properly , out of con
sideration for the preponderance of
the agricultural vote , selected prac
tical and representative farmers as can
didates for governor and lieutenant gov
ernor. Both of those gentlemen have
been for many years identified with the
agricultural interests of Iowa and are in
sympathy with every roasqnablo and
just demand of the agricultural class.
The farmers of the country are demand
ing , and rightly so , that they shall receive -
coivo more , consideration from the old
parties than has heretofore been ac
corded them. The republicans of Iowa
have mot this demand , while the demo
crats ignored it and ronomtnatod a law
yer to head their ticket. Manifestly
the farmers , In order to bo- true
to themselves , must support the hon
orable and worthy men of their own
class whom the republican party has
presented for their suffrages. They
cannot permit these farmer candidates
to bo defeated without stultifying them
selves and weakening their claim to
future consideration in making up a
ticket. But the result will depend very
greatly upon the measure of wisdom ind
skill on the part of the loaders in the
worlc of organizing the party. If this
is well and thoroughly done the success
of the republican party can bo safely
predicted. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
.im. DLAltfK'S ILLXBSS.
The latest Information regarding the
illness of Secretary Blaine is of a nature
to warrant the most serious apprehen
sion. Most of the reports sent out rep
resenting his condition to bo alarming
wore believed to bo groundless , and pos
sibly some of them were manufactured
by sensational correspondents , but in the
light of what appears to bo trustworthy
information it would seem that the phy
sicians have either been themselves mis
led or wore misleading the public. It is
sincerely to bo hoped that the haor re
ports , which represent Mr. Blaine as
being afllictod with Bright's dis
ease and instance the most alarm-
inn symptoms , are erroneous , and that
it will be found that the anxious friends
of the distinguished statesman who are
given as authority have taken counsel of
their fears , but it is almost impossible
not to behove that Mr. Blaine la a very
sick man , with the chances largely
against his over resuming his public
duties.
The loss of Soootary Blaine to the
service of the country at this time would
bo a great calamity. There is no other
man in public life , except perhaps the
president , who could not bettor bo
spared. The great work with which his
name is identified , and properly so , slnco
ho first presented the plan of Ameri
can reciprocity when a member of
Garfiold's cabinet , is but partly accom
plished , and it would not bo an easy
matter to find another who could take It
ii ) ) and carry it forward with equal suc
cess. It is in the performance of this
work that Secretary Biaino has estab
lished the claim to bo regarded as one
of the greatest of American statesmen ,
and while what has been done marks
out plainly what Is yet to be accom
plished , it would bo a very great mis
fortune if Mr. Blaine were compelled to
surrender the task Into other hands.
Even If It were prosecuted on the lines
ho bus marked out , the loss of his com
manding inlluonco would bo a more or
loss serious drawb.ick.
Mr. Hluino has had a must laborious
experience as Hocrotary-of-state , and ho
has broken down under the front and
Incessant strain. Unfortunitoly , how
ever , it IH to bo feared that rest alone
will not restore him , or at least not to
an extent that will enable him to resume
his official duties. Mr. Blaine was never
stronger than ho is now in the respect
and confidence of the American people.
WITH V.IX.IDA.
According to the arrangement made
with the representatives of the Canadian
government , negotiations looking to a
treaty of reciprocity between the United
Htntos and the Dominion will bo entered
upon next October. The correspondence
recently made public relating to the pro
poned negotiations dinclo.icd something
of the feeling of the Washington admin
istration on the subject of reciprocity
with Canada , from which It was made
evident that negotiation would bo use-
lu.ss on the lines proposed by the Cana
dian government. Senator William E.
Chandler of Now Hampshire , Inn recant
interview , said regarding this question
that ho was inclined to hope that Presi
dent Harrison will meet the Canadian
commissioners with au oltor to recom
mend to congress that , if Canada will
adopt substantially the United States
tariff against European products , this
country will admit Canadian products of
every description free of duty , the Cana
dians to admit all United States pro
ducts free. Complete reciprocity , said
Senator Chandler , and substantial com
mercial union are the broad Ideas , the
wisdom of which cannot bo doubted. The
senator , however , recognized the fact
that It will require much persuasion to
induce Amorlcnn farmers along the
border to consent to the admission
of Canadian agricultural products free
of duly. Ills very probable that the
hope expressed by Senator Chandler
reflects knowledge of the Intention of
the administration , which has given it
to bo understood with sufficient clearness
that It docs not intend to waste .any titnu
discussing reciprocity on the basis of
tlio last treaty. No arrangement that it
would bo possible to construct on such a
foundation would have the least chance
of acceptance by the American people.
But Is the Canadian government likely
to olTor or accept any tiling moro favora
ble ? Probably not , and certainly no such
proposition as Senator Chandler sug
gests would receive serious considera
tion at this time. There Is a very consid
erable body of tlio Canadian people who
would favor the policy of substantial
commercial union indicated by the Now
Hampshire senator , but the majority
would oppose nn arrangement so hostile
to English commercial interests , and
there is not the least reason to suppose
that the present government of Canada
would give it a moment's consideration.
The existing conditions are not favor
able to commercial union with Can
ada , or perhaps to any sort
of trade arrangement in the na
ture of reciprocity. The American
farmers , not only those on the borders ,
but everywhere , are pretty well satis
fied with the present state of affairs
which keeps out the farm products of
Canada , and the Canadian manu
facturers , on the other hand , do not
desire the markets of the Dominion
thrown open to the free admission of
the manufactured products of the
United States. Commercial union , or
some liberal plan of reciprocity , will
probably come in time , but it will not
bo attained while the conditions in the
two countries , economic and political ,
remain as at present.
OMAHA has au excellent system of
schools. It is fully abreast of the growth
of the city. The teaching and directing
forces of tlio schools are certainly en
titled to no small raoasuro of credit for
their splendid condition. There is room
for improvement in particular directions -
tions , , but in general the Omaha schools
are equal to the best in similar cities
throughout the country. It is highly
important that they shall maintain their
iroou reputation and improve in thor
oughness of instruction as well as grow
in numbers and facilities. To continue
good and grow bettor , the schools must
have excellent supervision and close at
tention to details. It will not do to try
any experiments of supervision nor to
elect any m .n of questionable ability as
superintendent. It will bo a mistake
for which the schools will suffer , to put
in the cilice of secretary a man whoso
instincts are all low , who is an intermeddler -
meddler by nature , a political parasite ,
and who cannot properly speak the
language which the schools are ex
pected to teach. And it will
likewise bo a mistake to place
in charge of the buildings and
grounds any man whoso intotrrity is
not beyond question and whoso moral
character is not above reproach. No
ward politician , however competent ho
may be , should bo allowed to use the
school department to advance his per
sonal or political ends. No ward bum
mer should bo allowed to got his hands
into the school fund or manipulate any
of the school ofllcos or officers either for
boodloor political purposes.
A CONSCIENCE which approves of
preaching in Omaha without pay while
the preacher's family in Lincoln is suf
fering lor want of creature comforts is
not built for this state of existence.
However elegant and numerous may bo
the treasures laid up for wtfo and little
ones In the next world , they will not
satisfy mundane hunger or embellish the
tabernacle of fiosh. In this practical ago
no man is justified in fishing in the
slums for the souls of sinners
while those whom ho has sworn
to support are skiririshlng for
food and failing to find it. The
good ovnngollflt whoso wife appealed to
him so pathetically for food , shelter and
clothing , will prove himself far moro
worthy of confidence if ho shall abandon
his Omaha labors and devote himself to
bread winning. The exhortation of
Paul in ins epistle to Timothy is a good
sensible text and the evangelist should
commit it to memory , meditate uK | > n it
and apply it to his life and roliglpn.
Ouu Omaha cuards did not take the
coveted prize for the best infantry drill ,
hut they captured the next encampment
for 1892. Captain Mulford of Omaha is
president of the assoslalion. This is
glory enough and the boys are entitled
to the most cordial style of reception on
their return. The next encampment
will bo a great event for Omaha and
will bring military organizations bore
from all suctions of the union.
TUB Hocking and Ohio valley editors
who recently visited Omaha and were
given a reception , are sounding the
praises of this city wherever their
newspapers circulate. The courtesies
extended tlio gentlemen on very short
notice were sincere and cordial. They
ave being substantially reciprocated In
the columns of dally and weekly news
papers of the great state whore McKln-
loy Is running for governor.
No man is fit to be secretary of tlio
board of education whoso highest ambi
tion is to punish his enemies , advance
his personal interests and help the
democratic party to secure the city and
county olllces.

The Omaha UKF. calls upon the .state
board of transportation to taka action in the
matter of reducing r.illroad rates. The
DHB'S article Is timely and to the point. The
largo crop will soon begin to move and If over
the farmers needed a fair and Just rate and u
rollof from railroad extortion it ii now. An
effort was raado last wlntor to pass n maxi
mum freight bill m anticipation of such
n condition ns now confronts the farmers
of Nebraska. It fulled , however , anil
a Inrgo portion of the present crop will
bo absorbed by the railroads unless
the board of transportation take Imme
diate action. A refusal to comply with the
demands of the people will doubtless bo fol
lowed with dire consciuiencos to the party in
power and the corporations owning the
roads. Unless a disposition Is shown to carry
out the expressed wishes of the people in
this matter tbo railroad rate question will
become an issue before the people , and the
outcome while hard to predict at present
will certainly not bo favorable to the corpo
rations. The board of transportation has it in
its power to reduce the existing rates to a
fair and equitable basis , and the existence of
the party and the future welfare of the roads
depends largely upon the action of the board.

Senator I'nddock of Nebraska briefly sum
marizes in the Now York Hocordortho splen
did won : of the republicans in congress In
protecting and furthering the agricultural
interests of the country as follows :
THE I'AllTV AND TIIR FAIIMBKS.
The western farmer reads and thinks. Ho
is a patron of the newspaper , the school and
the church. Ordinarily ho refuses to take
his politics at second hand , any moro than ho
does his ideas on finance or on economics
which most nearly affect his neighborhood
interests. But ho is honest , and ho tries to
be fair. He makes up his opinions according
to his information and is ready to give rea
sons for his faith. If ho has n Keen regard
for self-lntorost ho probably docs not differ
in this respect from the merchant , the manu
facturer or the professional man.
It is for these very reasons that I am confi
dent that the western farmer will not refuse
adhesion to the republican party when ho has
carefully and honestly studied the worlc of
the last congress. Controlled and directed
by republicans under n splendidly ofllcicnt
republican administration , it hewed more
closely to the line of promised legislation than
most of its predecessors. No congress within
my recollection hns worked moro faithfully
to redeem party ploJges or has accomplished
croatur results for the general welfare in the
lines of stimulating production , opening new
outlets for trade and paying the honest debts
of the nation. In no congress slnco the In
ception of our government have the interests
of the great agricultural class received the
same conscientious attention which they did
from tno Fifty-first congress.
The upbuilding of the department of agrl-
culture was one of Its llrst cares. It has been
made something moro than a ueed-sampllng
Institution , Today it Is second to the Smithsonian
"
sonian institution"a great laboratory of prac
tical science , the effects of whoso labors are
felt on Hold and farm and range , at every
stockyard and groatslauchtorhouso , at every
shipping point and port of entry , day by day
disproving the malicious lies of foreign com
petitors of the American agriculturist nnd
stock man , and breaking down tbo barriers
which have pi-oven ted the expansion of our
trade in meat nrodunta.
The Fifty-first congress raado this possible.
Its laws providing for the inspection of live
cattle for export , for the inspection nnd tag
ging of cattlocarcas9oswcro supplemented by
the most Important of all , a measure which
gives government guarantee of the freedom
from trichimu of every pound of pork which
leaves our shores. The daily increasing ex
ports of moats toll the story of results.
Through the efforts of the rejuvenated agri
cultural department ptouro-pnuumoniu has
been stamped out and Texas fuvcr has been
held In rigid quarantine. Millions of dollars
yearly will not represent the savings to the
American farmer due alone to tno work of
the Fifty-first congress.
The reciprocity amendment to tno tariff
law , itself the conception of the most brilliant
statesman of the day , will stand forever as a
republican achievement in whoso magnlllcont
results the western farmer will share largely.
It has demonstrated the wisdom of Its author
nnd the follv of its partisan foos. It has
opened a way for the expansion of trade
without the destruction of homo industry ,
and Indicated a method by which the policy
of protection may be preserved without adherence -
herenco to the theories of extremists.
The Fifty-first congress met the demands
of the west for n moro liberal construction of
the land laws In the Interests of honest
homesteaders and for the fuliillmont on the
part of the government of its pledges to 10-
Imburso the sufferers from Indian depreda
tions , Its senate , by resolution , caused an In
vestigation by the interstate commerce com
mission , which resulted In a reduction engrain
grain rates from the far west. It opened tlio
way for n study of Irrigation problems in the
arid regions , provided liberally for keeping
open nnd improving western waterways of
commercial necessity , and laid the founda
tion for avorlc of tremendous national as
well as woatcrn Importance tlio Hci.nopin
canal.
Not unmindful of the demands for a moro
I be nil use of stiver nnd the maintenance ) of
value of n great national product , it provided
n market for the entire production of our
mines , and n corresponding increase in the
circulating medium by certificates Issued on
thu basis of the market value of the bullion ,
'I ho efforts of the republican congress were
strongly Inilkwnrlcod by n conscientious nnd
Jtlleiont republican administration , I do not
jollovo that the western tanner , naturally
republican , born nnd living In n section
whoso settlement , upbuilding and free umtl-
utlons are the result of n storm and stress
'or which republican effort In the forum and
republican vulor on tlio field were primarily
esponsiblo , will overlook the record of Its
iast and the splendid vitality of its present.
