N. P. KKIU Notary Public. TUB Council Bluffs Nonpareil puts the pilUfitlon tulinir.tbly when it says the democrats of Iowa have changed their "campaign of education" to a campaign of explanation. THE police force alone cannot rid this city of disreputables. The police court nnd its officers must bo a terror to evil dooru and the city prosecutor should tniiko it his business to push prosecu tions with the utmost vigor. ROYAL favors are being showered "upon the. president of Franco. Tlio queer of England proposes to decorate him with the highest grade of the Odor of the I iith. There is no joke concealed in this paragraph. It is alto gether a matter of fact. TUB independents ol the Tenth judi cial district in this state are in a bad way. Fates appear to have arranged a very unhappy dilemma for the reformers which carlcs John M. Ragan , n rail road attorney , as one horn and Judge William Guslin as the other. GovKHN'Oii HottACK BOIES must have n poor appreciation of the patriotism of citizens of Iowa if ho is of the opinion that they will continue to honor a man with oflieo whoso entire political stock in trade is that of traducing the credit and besmirching tlio reputation o'f the state. MlNNHAPOMH may bo making a still hunt for the republican national conven tion. Her newspapers are absolutely quiet upon the subject.

It is Sena tor McPherson of Now Jersey. When politicians begin to tnlk about a second choice for an olllco it is safe to conclude the first choice is out ol the race. In this instance it may as well bo romom- borcd that Mr. John Roderick MePhor- non will not bo the residuary legatee of Grover Cleveland unless Mr. Arthur P.

The Idea is good. There is no moro uncertainty about crops than about other uncertain things. There is a Bufllclont percentage in favor of aver age crops .to xvarrant the inauguration of u grand crop insurance scheme on the part of the alliance. The wagO'Workor insures ngnlnst accidents and the house owner against lire. Why should not the farmer insure against catastrophe to his crops ?

In his speech opening the democratic campaign In Iowa , Governor Doles paid no attention to that portion of the plat form of his party which domanda the free and unlimited coinage of silver. The convention which ronoinlnntcd Gov ernor Boles doalnrod : "Wo roltornto our demand of ono year ago for the frco coinage of silver , nnd that It bo made full legal tender for all debts , pub lic and private. " Referring to this plank of the platform Governor Boies said In his letter of acceptance : "Tho dnmocracy of Iowa demand that silver shall bo restored to its ancient estate under the livws of the nation. If , on account of changed conditions , as seine believe , the result of this will bo to reduce the metallic currency of the country to a silver standard alone , or otherwise injure the business interests of the country , tlio people can bo safely trusted to devlso some means of retaining the two metals In the relative positions assigned them by the founders of our government. " At that tlmo , when ho wrote his letter of nccoptanco , Governor Boies was willing to experiment with frco coinage. Ho was willing then to take chances with a policy which would require the mints of the United States to receive 41i ! ) grains of silver , worth but 80 cents , nnd coin therefor a silver dollur which by the Hat of the government Is to bo received by the people of the United States and to circulate among thorn IIH worth a full dollar of 100 cents. But Governor Boies has noon a light and hoard a voice since ho penned his loiter of nccoptanco. The light has como from the democracy of the east and the voice is the utterance of such leaders as Carlisle and Mills warning the party to drop the silver issue. Governor Doies seems disposed to heed these signals of danger , but he cannot unsay what ho has already put on record in support of the position of the Iowa domociacy on silver , any moro than ho can frnmo a satisfac tory defense of his speech 'bo- fore an ussomblago of free trade democrats In Now York In which ho proclaimed the impoverished and hope less condition of the farmers of Iowa. The republicans of Iowa will hold the democratic party of that state to the at titude it has taken in favor of a policy that would depreciate and debase the currency of the country. Governor Boies will not bo permitted to escape or evade this isauo , and must either repu diate or defend the position ho took in his Icttor of acceptance. ' Ho has declared himself to bo in ac cord with his party on this question , and he must stand or fall by that decla ration. There is no subject of greater importance before the American people today. There is none that concerns moro deeply the future welfare of the farmers and workingmen of Iowa. The campaign opening1 speech of Gov ernor Boies was largely taken up with tin attempted justification nnd defense of his Now York address. ThoolTort was not asuccess. It could not bo when the gov ernor was compelled to acknowledge that his facts wore derived from the statements of a few hundred farmers out of the hundred thousand or more agrl- euUurnl producers of Iowa. Republi cans should have no hesitation in responding spending t.o the challenge of Governor Uoics in relation to this matter. THE OHIO CAMl'AlOy. The opening of the Ohio campaign has boon signalized by a degree of inter est and enthusiasm on the part of the republicans which augurs well for the success of that party. Major MoKinloy selected the smalltown where , he was born in which to lire tlio lirst gun of the battle that will bo carried on with steadily increasing vigor until the close of election day in November , and the place never saw before and doubtless will never see again such a crowd as wel comed and listened to the able , brilliant and intrepid republican loader. To those familiar with politics in the Buckeye - eye state the character of the opening of a republican campaign may bo ac cepted as a * pretty safe Indication of the result , and judged by this rule the out look for the republicans in the present light could hardly be moro favorable. The evidence is .that the party is united , harmonious , earnest and enthusiastic , nnd sanguine without being over-confident , conditions which have always in the past presaged vic tory. The democratic reports of disaf fection are shown by the public expres sions of ox-Governor Forakor and others who have boon charged with being dis gruntled to bo false , and there is every reason to believe that no republican will fail of his duty in the contest. Major MoKinloy evidently inlands to push the fighting , and his opening speech shows that lie does not Intend to allow the democrats to avoid the issue which they themselves have made of free and unlimited coinage of silver. The democracy of Ohio , having deliber ately taken a stand In favor of milking the United States the dumping ground of the world's silver , with all the consequences quences of currency debasement and de preciation which that policy would In volve , it is very properly proposed to hold the party to this issue , however anx ious Governor Campbell may he to evade it. At the same time" the repub lican leader will not sunk to avoid the fullest discussion of the tariff policy with which his nuruo has bccomo con spicuously associated ; On the contrary , as the campaign progresses , ho will probably devote his attention mainly to this question , leaving to Senator Sher man the easy task of combatting the ar guments for free coinage. The speech of Major MoKinloy open ing the campaign clearly outlined the Ohio republican nttltiulo on silver. It is in favor of tbo double standard , but while the nations of tlio world decline to join us In guaranteeing to silver n stiuiiH which their laws now accord to gold , the republicans of Ohio are not in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. It was the concurrent law of nations , , said Major Mclvlnloy , that made the double standard ; It will re- quiio the concurrent huv of nations to reinstate ami sustain it. lie expressed the belief that the leading tmtlona of the world would be glad to put us upon a silver basis , and that Uuropo only withholds consent to an international ratio on account of ha bollof that wo will eventually go to sil ver. "It does not take a very wise man to see , " said the Ohio republican loader , "that If a dollar worth only 80 cents In trinsically , coined without limit , Is made n legal tender to the amount of its fnco value for the payment of all debts , public nnd private , a legal tender in- all business transactions among the pcoplo , that it will become In tlmo the exclusive circulating medium of the country. " Major MoKinloy showed that the per capita of circulation la greater than at any pot-Iod before , and sxld ; that while It may bo necessary to Increase the cir culation It cannot bo done with silver dollars that are worth loss than 100 cents each in value. Tin : American traveler who returns to America full of regrets that things on this side of the water- are not what they are In the olTeto monarchies of Europe very frequently discovers that ho has simply mndo an exhibition of his Ignornnco in citing nn instance to estab lish his point. No less a personage than ox-Speaker Thomas B. Rood has fallen Into the very common error of travel ers returning from a first tour of Europe. Ho expressed his regret that among other things no American art gallery had secured a copy of Michael Augolo'a "David. " Ho had scarcely given utterance to the remark until his attention was called by an American whohnd not visited Rome and Florence to the fact that the Corcoran art gallery in Washington contains tlio best copy of the great painting in existence. The discovery was particularly humiliating because Mr. Reed has spent a very con siderable part of his life almost at the door of that American collection of paintings and statuary. Mit. DICK BKUMN and his attorney do not agree upon the South Thirteenth street grade matter. Mr. Dick Berlin should now como out with the whole story over his own signature. lie has the facts clearly in mind and the public has a right to them. It matters very little whether the injunction suit was dismissed at his request or not. The point of special interest Is whether or not there was a basis of fact warranting him in bringing the injunction suit , and what state of facts now exists. Let us have this thing fought out now with bare knuckles no matter who throws up the sponge ultimately. FrKTBKNTii street will have no via duct just now and yet the average citi zen cannot escape the conviction that the two railway companies should bo kept building viaducts long enough at least to persuade thorn to go ahead with the union depot. It is nonsons'o for the Depot company to insist that the people aroentiioly to blame for the delays upon the union depot. It is apprehended that work would begin inside of ton days if the option of completing the structure or building a viaduct or two were ollercd the companies. THE talented artist who earned $75 by drawing a design for a city coat of arms thinks THE BEE is criticising his skill for political reasons. Tlio talented artist Is mistaken. There Is neither politics nor art In his design nor skill in its execution. It is a gross satire upon art , a reproach to politics and a great clumsy misfit of which any citizen of tusto will bo perpetually ashamed if it becomes the seal of this great city. TIIK Atehison. Topeka & Santa Fo railroad will accept the thanks of Omaha for a reduction in the carload rate on cattle from Now Mexico from $120 to S105. This is the lirst stop to ward opening up the great southwest to this market. The now rate is $5 per car above that of Kansas City , but the advantages of this market over that at Kansas City makes it possible to do busi ness with Now Mexico. "I AM convinced that the republican party can elect an associate justice of the supreme bench if thb right kind'of a man is nominated. Great care should bo exorcised and a good , honest lawyer , perfectly free from the taint of corpora tion alliliations , should bo selected. If that is done the republican party has nothing to fear in the coming election. " Senator Munilerson. THE county commissioners must not for a moment think the people are satis fied with their neglect of the duty of enforcing - forcing the two milo limit license law. MA YOU GUSHING Is a democrat and therefore does not favor a non-partisan board of public works. THE slate of the Douglas county judi cial machine , it is apparent , will soon show a few fissures. PERHAPS continual agitation of the subject may eventually resurrect the union depot. THREE sots of election olllcors would bo absurd. They would bo in the way of each other. THE nonpartlsan Idea Is always of advantage - vantage to the under dog. HARVEST excursionists will begin to como this week. Ki'.Kl' In mind the Grand Island re union.

Denver News ( dem. ) : There Is no doubt now as to where McKlnloy stands on the sil ver question. Ho Is both a bold and n frank man , and In hU upoacii at Nllos on Saturday , In opening the Ohio campaign , ho took square grounds against free nnd unlimited coinage. Thus the Usuo is fairly made , nnd there should not be a republican tn Colorado who , if a true friend of tha white metal , should not iiso bis utmost endeavors for the defeat of tbls avowed gold-bug candidate , Now York Tribune ( rep. ) : Mr. McICin- lay's exposition of the results of the now tariff thus far and of the precise changes of duty It has madu Is much ttio clearest yet made by any debater , HU dofensu of the duty on tin plates U the uoro forcible bo- causa , as he stated , works nro about to bo ostabllshcJ In the very town whore ho spoke.

There is Held after Hold of tall , well tilled gram Just getting ready to cut. Every farmer thinks his crop is Just n little the best in some or all reapocts , but the fact is , If ono did not know when ho changed ho would think he was In the sama liuld all the tlmo. Then the grain Is so nearly equal In nil parts of a lleld that It is dinicult to tell where to select the tallest or heaviest samples. Severn ! farmers were harvesting barley , rye or wheat nnd the sheaves , Instead of feeling light and iipongy , were hoavj and seemed moro like hanilllng sacks of grain than sheaves.

It has been our fortune to see other good small grain countries , but wo never saw such a univer sally coed crop of small grain.
