LAHOK day will bo duly celebrated in
Omaha its il should bo.
ANOTirr.u injunction stops public
work. If the seven judges do not take a
vacation and leave the city there will bo
very little grading' , paving and curbing
done this sofison.
IOWA and Ohio republicans have an
advantage in the present campaign not
hitherto always on their side. There Is
absolute harmony within the ranks.
Nebraska can go into the contest in the
same gnoel lighting trim.
A MA.TOIUTY of 42,000 against him in
his laat campaign in Virginia lias dis
couraged General William Mahone , and
that is the reason why ho advises the
Virginia republican lamb to lie down
inside the Virginia democratic lion.
JERRY SIMPSON'S squeal over the diff
erence in cost of transportation between
a porker and himself from Kansas City to
Chicago has been the rounds of the par-
airraphors of the press bo often that it
should bo retired. Jerry is a one-term
congressman and thia utterance of his
should bo a one-term incident.
TIIK elevator capacity of Minneapolis
is 17,000.000 bushels , that of Duluth 22- ,
000.000 bushels. Those figures are an
intimation of what is needed In this city
for grain storage. Omaha is the nat
ural center of a far more productive and
extensive grain growing region than
Minneapolis. Wo need elevators and
must have them.
MR. U. S. HALL of Missouri has boon
deposed from the leadership ottho state
alliance because of his opposition to the
third party sub-treasury schemes. This
may bo disappointing but it will in
nowise Interfere with Mr. Hall's little
boom for the democratic nomination for
governor. Ho has a very largo follow
ing among Missouri farmers.
AL Mius is opposed to the
scheme of placing the national militia
under the conttol of the War depart
ment. The general wants the regular
array increased in the regular way. The
National guards have too many men to
onch commissioned olllcor to suit regu
lar army precedents , and their absorp
tion into the national military estab
lishment would adu no olllcors.
SUNATOR KYUC of South Dakota has
had the good sense to say nothing in the
late calamity campaign. While PotTer ,
Simpson and Mrs. Louse have been try
ing to destroy the credit of Kansas the
South Dakota alliance senator has boon
'quietly at homo studying economics and
reading the newspapers to fit himself
lor bin seat in thosonato. Senator Kyle
promises to bo at the worst no disgruco
to South Dakota.
IOWA farmers and republicans have
too muuh sense to allow the democrats
to load them by temperance agitation
into their scheme for stealing the state.
The lowacampaign is now being fought.
If democracy wins It moans thnt the leg
islative dibtrluU will bo gorrynmndorou
to elect a democratic successor to Sen
ator Wilson ; the congressional districts
will bo gerrymandered to secure dem
ocratic congressmen and the district
electoral scheme of Michigan will bo
carried out to steal nfoweloctural votes.
.In the Iowa campaign there is a good
deal at stake for the honest voter.
f AiiUANcr. men in the south are not
f nil peaceable. Dr. McAllister charged
I Dr. McCuno with olllclal corruption
[ specifying the Georgia senatorial elect -
t tlon as ono occasion whore ho sold out Put
| Calhoun for $2,000 and referred to the
| 'Texas Alliance exchange which ho
I robbed of 830,000 , Dr. McCuno is the
[ editor of the alliance organ at Washing-
I ton nnd ho was able not only to escape
I conviction by his associates but sue-
| f ococlod in having his accuser kicked out
of the alliance. Dr. McAllister then ro-
Bortoel to violence , and there la now nn
alliance editor down In Mississippi with
n bandaged head. The brethren may
yet settle tholr dlflloulty with pistols.
Tlioro is roully moro oxcltaraont in the
democratic alliance of the south than in
the Independent order of the north.
KAXSAS HBl'VUIitCANS.
There is nn aggressive spirit bein
shown by the republicans of Knns.i
which convoys the promise that 111
party will rctrlovo wlmt it lost las
year , and gives assurance that Kalian
can bo depended upon to glvo he
electoral vote next year for the ropul
llcan presidential candidate. The grcr
crops of the state , assuring a tncnsur
of prosperity to the ( nrmora beyond tit
highubt they have realized for a nittnbc
of years , are having u most favorable It
flubnca for the republican causa. Who
people are blessed with the condition
which bring prosperity they nro nc
easily Induced to accept the vagarie
and wild expedients of demagogues. 1
is only when there Is depression nnd th
outlook appears hopeless that the advc
catos of a flat currency and of sul
treasury schemes are enabled to sc
cure supporters. Tlio farmer whos
acres have yielded bountifully an
who is able to see ) his wti ,
clear to obtaining what ho needs an
wiping out a parlor all of the obllgti
tlons that have been a source of anxiot ,
and a btirdon to him , will not favor
proposition to debase and depreciate th
currency of the country. Such a farmo
will want to receive in exchange fo
his gr.iin all honest , dollars , ono in al
respects as good as any dollar , and if n <
can put il away for future tiso ho want
to bo sure that whenever ho shal
find It necessary to use it , hi
the time months or years after , it wil
still bo as good as any dollar. Tin
prosperous farmer wants a sound am
stable currency and not a Ihictuatin ;
medium of exchange , or one that is con
stanlly liable to depreciation. Ho mus
give a full bushel of grain when nbushe
is culled for , and ho wants a full dollai
and not a token that is made to represent
sent a dollar , but is really worth eighty
cents or less.
The Kansas farmers who. because of i
period of depression and hardship
drifted away from the republican partj
to support the absurd and impracticable
schemes of Poffor and Simpson , an
doubtless beginning to see the mistake
they made. They cannot bo blind to tlu
fact that the reckless legislation pro
posed by the men they sent to the las !
legislature was almost as damaging U
Kansas as the crop failure of last year ,
They know that but for a republican
publican Donate , which stood ai
a bulwark in defense of the
integrity of the people of Kansas , some
of this legislation would have beer
adopted , and In that event even the
great crops of the present year would
not have saved the state from disaster ,
Understanding thobo things it is reason'
ably to bo expected that many of the
farmers who mistakenly identified themselves
solves with the now political movement
will return to the republican party.
There are some with whom the deina
goguo cry for moro money will con'
tlnuo to bo effective , and these will re'
main with the now party , but the num
ber of such will doubtless bo found whet ;
the election returns are counted to have
materially declined from that of a ycai
ago. It would bo a reproach to the in'
tolligenco of the farmers of Kansas If II
wore otherwise.
The resolutions adopted by the repub
lican league of Kansas , at Its mooting
last Wednesday , have the right finer.
They are earnest , strong and unequivo
cal , and upon such n platform the ropub-
.leans of that state can make a vigorous
and successful fight.
rnKSWEXTUL JUOIWKYIKO.
Prcbtdont Harrison remarked in one
of his late speeches that ho hoped nc
American citizen will over begrudge the
president of the United Stales the refreshment -
froshmont which comes from occasional
visits through the country. Ho may
iiavo been moved to say this by the criti
cism of his journeying which recently
appeared in a Now York newspaper , in
which was quoted a letter of Jefferson
when ho was president , declining nn in
vitation to visit Vermont and expressing
the opinion that the chief magistrate of
the nation ought to remain at the seat
of government , whore there is always a
demand for his presence. President
TolTerson stated that ho found no time to
spare from his duties , and the labors of
; ho eixocutivo otllco wore not so great
then as now.
Thomas Jefferson was a very remark
able man , and in no respect was
10 moro distinguished than for a
ligh bonso of duty. Ho was ex
tremely careful in his intercourse
with the people not to do anything that
would have the appearance of sclf-sook-
ng. Ho kept aloof from the people lost
t might sojm that ho was endeavoring
; o work up popularity. Ho was an un
pretentious man , instinctively hostile to
show and parade. All this was com
mendable , but il is qulto possible to mi
ni ire the character of Jefferson and at
, ho Mnmo ttmo approve the course of
President Harrison In visiting among
the people and making himself
vcqualntud with the country. This
vas a comparatively insignificant
country , speaking of material conditions ,
vhon Jolterson was president. The
lopulatlon of the seventeen states was
ess than 0,000,000 , the industry of the
> coplo was wholly agricultural , and in
all respects the union of the Jefferson
era watf to the union of today us the in-
ant is to the matured man. Besides , In
, hose days traveling was a laborious
ask , and not a pleasure as now. It
would have boon n toilsome jour-
loy for JolTorson from Washington
to Bonnington , Vt. , occupying several
days In an uncomfortable coach , wlioro-
is now the trip is made In a few hours
vithout the least discomfort. Wo von-
uro to think that with all his regard
or duty and his caret to avoid the ap-
Hmnincu of seeking popularity , if Joffor-
on hud had the facilities to travel which
ho people of today have ho would have
rene about u grout deal more than ho
lid. But traveling : in his day was done
only when ntsolutoly necessary , because
t was a tusk attended by moro or loss
hardship.
Ninety years ago It was not Important
jithor to president or people that they
hould personally know each other. U
s Important now. No man who does
lot know the country from personal ob-
orvatlon , and who has1 not mingled
fflth the people widely , is fully qualified
o acceptably fill the presidential
nice. Such a man mlpht faith
fully execute the laws , but tin
chief magistrate Is something moro thai
a machine to carry out the will of con
gross. Ho Is required to suggest lopls
latlon and to ndvlso congress regarding
the public nncds , and the moro thorougl
his acquaintance with the country ant
the people the bettor qualified u prcsl
dent will bo to recommend and cotinse
wisely. It Is well to encourage rospoci
for the opinions and mot hods of the
founders of the republic. For the tnosl
part they nro a s fo guldo. But
the changed conditions make it no
simply expedient , but absolutely neccs
sary to adopt different methods. Pros !
dent Harrison Is fur bolter equipped foi
the duties of his otllco for having made
n trip through a portion of the south anil
west and for his visit to Vermont , and 1
this is so the people ought to get some
benefit from it. Ills last trip gave hlti
an opportunity to say some things whlcl :
are of great value. Meanwhile the bus !
no.ss of the government has gene on ant
the country is In all respects just as wol
oil as if the president had remained con
tlnuously in Washington.

Each citizen of Omaha should make
It his habit to run out to South Onmhr
every few weeks. It is a pleasant drive
or ride in the cars or motor and it IE
encouragement of the most practical
charaotor. South Omaha is a phenomenon
(
non which the average citizen does not
appreciate ) . She is a surprise to herself
and to her most enthusiastic inhabitant.
To the resident of the mother metropolis
whoso business seldom takes him there ,
a visit is a revelation. The great indus
tries which have grown up as if by magic
and the largo population which has gath
ered about them are merely suggestions
of what the future has in store for this
Nebraska stock market nnd packing
center. South Omaha is as certain to
bo the second stock market of the union
as the years are to roll into otor-
nity. Nothing but the grossest mis
management of the most unlikely
character can prevent this. Hqr plnco
is fixed by an almost unalterable fate
and the great packing house ) of which
wo are now so proud and the well ap
pointed yards which now attracl slock
from all Iho great western sttitos will in
ton years bo surpassed by but ono other
center in the union , and that ono is Chi
cago. It is not impossible that
Omaha may eventually outstrip even
Chicago in certain lines of the stock in
dustry. Wo do not half understand the
advantages which nature , enterprise
and the development of our country nro
brining us. It is an inspiration for
Iho fuluro to visit South Omaha and ro-
llect upon the growth of that suburb in
seven years and then attempt to forecast
her assured future and ils importance
to this city.
OMAHA KESOUllCKS IN TUB SOIL.
Land in the vicinity of Omaha is
worth from $500 to $1,500 an aero. It is
of course too valuable for corn and small
grain. It must not on this account go
uncultivated , however , and naturally
its owners turn to other products. THE
Bi-n has frequently adverted to the
profits of truck gardening and fruit
growing in these columns and its position
upon this subject has boon criticized
somewhat because in a bounteous season
like the present the market gardener
finds the demand unequal to the supply.
This is , however , no proof that truck
farming , if properly conducted , is not a
promising resource. Aside from the
possibilities of export to the mining
camps of the west there are reasons in
the bounteous yield which makes
the supply greater than the
demand , for the establishment hero of
canning , pickling , preserving and dry
ing establishments , which would not
only provide for largo exports , but sup
ply the local market in the ivintor and
give employment to working people. It
is u curious fact that in the face of this
abundance nnd with the knowledge
bhat four years out of every five
the fertile soil of Douglas county
brings certain and prolific crops there
are no institutions to speak of for utiliz
ing those resources , and the grocers of
Omaha import for winter consumption
the very products which go to waste hero
in the summer and autumn. Lund worth
S1000 per aero must yield$150 per aero to
bo profitable. In ordinary crops this is
impossible. In garden products it will
frequently fall short if no attempt bo
made to euro them for times of greater
demand.
THE BEE has a hobby which it hopes
to ride until there is no longer any ne
cessity for riding it , ana that Is the de
velopment of homo Industries. It in-
cladcsan auxiliary hobby which is briefly
slated in the old maxim , "palronlzo homo
ndustry. " It does not therefore hesi
tate to urge from day to day
the importance of increasing Iho mun-
jor of factories and swelling the trade
of these already established. In this
connection it is proper to invite atten
tion to Mr. A. W. Fullriodo's oxporl-
nont in sugar boot raising on his farm
vest of the city. The land devoted to
the experiment Is worth $1,000
an aero. Tno sugar boot yield
> remised at this time will
iay Intorosl upon the assumed value of
ho land. It does moro. It proves that
ho soil hereabouts is adapted to sugar
wet growing and adds an unanswerable
irgumont In favor of TUB BKK'S pot
chomo for a largo boot sugar factory
nnd refinery In Omaha.
GENERAL MAHONB'S advice to ro-
) ublicans to make no light in

tof that the doughty litllo Vir

THE good people of Boston have or
torcd upon another Indian reform
They propose to oak congress to estal
lish a system of courts and a code o
laws for Iho Indian reservations of th
country. Alwady there Is ;
system of courts and a cede o
rules for punishing offenses. It i
doubtful if the erudite people of tin
Hub can dovlso anything bollor adaptei
to the situation as it exists. The chic
trouble is that a misdemeanor punishot
by an Indian court is still punishable ii
the white man's court in the adjacon
state and the white man's courl some
limes runs counter to that of the Indian
All that Is needed is to make it Impossl
bio than an Indian may bo twice triot
for Iho sanio offonso.
GRAIN INSPECTOR DLANCHARI
may not bo n shrewd speculator In grain
but ho has good hard sense and that ii
worth a groal deal. Ho has soleclcd i
competent deputy and is anxious to per
form his duties efficiently. The severe
criticisms passed upon him by a mem
ber of Iho Slalo Board of Transporta
tion wore not merited by anything whicl
has so far occurred since ho was ap
pointed. Tin : BEE thinks Mr. Blanchard -
ard should bo given a chance at least tt
show his ability for the work to whicl ;
ho is assigned. His -efforts should nol
bo discredited without proper justifica
tion.
A NON-PARTISAN judicial ticket will :
the names of all but two of the present
district judges- under discussion ir
legal circles. Instead of Iho two dome
cruts who are 'tli bo dropped , according
to this programme , a now domocratie
Richmond is suggested and an inde
pendent with -rejpubllcan antecedents.
If the scheme is carried out the dibtricl
bench would have three republican ,
three democratic and ono independent
judge , provide'd always and of course ,
that in these 'cHangeful times none ol
the gentlemen dbsort the old parties
before election,1
SAMUUI , C. POMCROY , who died yes
terday in Massachusetts , was at onetime
time a prominent figure in national af
fairs. Ho was'Sillyrizod * by his name-
sa'lco of ( lie Lacrosse Democrat and is
besl known by his nicknauio , Starvation
C. Pomorov. In his last fight for elec
tion to the United States senate ho bo-
cumo involved in an unsavory scandal
which resulted disastrously to his repu
tation and retired him permanently
[ rom official lifoand influence.
PERHAPS it is proper to suggest to
the District Bar association that it
should take Iho people into its confi
dence this fall before finally selecting
the district judges. There is a smolder
ing fire in the ashes of public sentiment
which once in a while blazes up timidly
with the idea that the voters and tax
payers ought to bo consulted at least
anco in four years in this matter of dis
trict judges.
GOVERNOR TiiAvmis old enough and
ivblo enough fully to apprehend his duty
nnd this makes it the moro surprising
that ho does nothing in the Hastings
nsylum nmtlor. The governor must not
iresumo too much upon the patience of
, ho pooplo. The state conventions occur
n a few weeks and the chief executive
s inviting a mild roast at the hands of
both parties by his Inexcusable delay.
MR. THOMAS L. KIMUALL'S letter rel

1118 IIBAI > CUT OPEN.
Careless or malicious shooting caused o
serious accident today on the farm of Her
man Schmidt , about a mile nnd a half east ol
Hnvelock. While Otto Schmidt , thn 17-year-
old son of Mr. Schmidt , was driving n'toam
attached to a mowing machine some un
known persons flred a shotgun apparently at
the boy as some of the shot struck the loam
nnd scared them. Tbo horses bccamo un
manageable and ran mvny throwing the laden
on the lull yes. Ho was frightfully cut ,
principally about the bead , but somehow was
bounced bade of the machine before he was
cut to pieces. The horses In their lllght ran
tbo knives acrainst a mule cutting off ils foot.
The father of the lad beard the commotion
mid rushed out. Thn boy was carried into
the house and medical assistance secured.
His head is terribly cut , but hopes are cnter-
talnea of his recovery. The mule has been
killed.
COUNTV OFFICIALS AT I.OOaKllHBADS.
Tbcro is music in the nir and it is being
furnished by the county commissioners ana
County Clerk Howe , The cause for the same
is that under the old law the county clerk
was allowed 4 cents for tabulation of each
description of property in the county tax
Hat. Last year this amounted to $1TOU.
Lancaster county is now governed by the law
which specifics tbat counties having
over 70,000 inhabitants shall have no al-
lowanca for such work. For two
month past County Clerk Howe has had
from two to tince persons constantly at
work on tbo tax list. Ho did not expect
any fee for bis supervision , but ho did expect
that the county would pay for tlio extra-
work of preparing tbo tax list and ho asked
the county commissioners to malco an allow
ance to pay thnrafor.
The commissioners refused to do this , as
sorting that the work fell properly within
the duties of the clerk. Mr. Howe then de
clared that tbo commissioners could go-'to u
laud warmer than this and locked tbo tax
lists in bis safe.
Ho says that the county will not get them
until the money they cost him is refunded.
The commissioners retort that if Mr. Howe
had devoted moro time to thn duties of bis
onlco that ho would have had plenty of time
to have prepared the lists himsolf.
Mr. Howo's friends declare that this Is a
contomptlblb fling.
Tbo commissioners today asked County
Attorney Snoll's opinion on the matter of
making the tax list nnd that ofllclal thought
that Mr. Howe wan entitled to extra help if
lie actually needed it and that the county
should pay for it. Ho held , however , that
the county clerk should have made an appli
cation to the commissioners for such help
Lbat they might determine the amount needed
ind lix the compensation.
Mr. Howe elftlms that the flght is led by
Commissioner Shuboy for personal reasons.

COUNTY CnilMISSIOSKKS WAV IIOIISB.
The county commissioners have haa a por-
loual squabble. Under the now law the com-
iitsslonors are to receive a salary of $ lbOO
) or annum and nothing for expenses. Messrs ,
shaborg , DIxon and McGraw constitute a
jrldgo committee , Their duties require con-
ildorabla traveling and they had to hire

Jills should bo divided among the live , but
ho other two did not think so. Mr. Churchill

Why CliloT .litHtleo Fuller Should Ito
President.
America : Chief Justice Fuller having
mUsed the opportunity of being the father
of tils country may yet hope to chilin the dis
tinction of being ltd father-in-law. Under
thcso delightful circumstances wlmt can n
grateful am ! expectant country do snvo It )
bottow on him the olllco of chief magistrate ,
which Is tbo only onlco higher than that
now possessed by him I Ills easy for n great
anil pootlu ucoplo to sco nil tbo trnuscoiui-
out qualities of this worthy .iiiccessorof John
Jay nna John Marshall by the light of the
halo of bounty that surrounds him. There
can bo no doubt of his unrlvnlod Illness for
the onlco of president of the United Ktates.
Neither Washington nor Lincoln had eight -
daughters. How Inslgnlilcant up. , - - / , -v
pears Thomas Jefferson ntid Andrew
Jackson when subjected to this HU
proii'o testl Therefore America proudly
presents the iinino of Molvllio Weston Fuller ,
chief Justlco of the United States ami tri
umphant parent , for the consideration of the
| > eopln of this republic , having no shodo.v of
doubt that they will Joyously choose him for
their next president. Ono thought of the
parndoxlc.il conditions under which the nil-
ministration would bo carried on with nil the
girls pervading It with gr.teo and now millin
ery should bo stifllclont to rally the most perverse -
verso voters to the standard of this strongest
-candidates. . Throughout bis four voars of
ottlco a white house wedding might bo nr-
r.mged to oix-ur every llttlo whilo. The
bovine herd of ofllce-soohcrs would bo sup
planted by the romantic throng of eligible
catcncs. Sordid applications for presidential
postoniccs would give way to spirited con
tests for the fair bauds of prosldontiiil
daughters. For thcso best of , tll possible f
reasons the Invincible candidate for president
in IhUJ Is Molvllio Wcstoti Fuller.
