Reports from Ohio indicate that the
senatorial fight in the legislative dis
tricts is going against Senator Sher
man. It is stated that ox-Governor
Forakor now has throo-fourths of the
republican candidates for the legisla
ture pledged to him , and his supportord
confidently predict that ho will be
elected to succeed Sherman if the next
legislature is republican. It is a
very serious question , however , whether
with such u contest the republicans can
elect the next legislature. It is not ap
parent that the senatorial issue is inter
fering with the gubernatorial campaign.
There is no reason to suppose that McKinley -
Kinloy will not got the support of the
friends of both Sherman and Forakor.
Ho is not identified with either faction.
But there is danger that a number of
legislative districts will bo lost to the
republicans in consequence of the sena
torial fight , nnd that the next legisla
ture may bo democratic. Whoever is
responsible for this issue \vould thus in-
llict upon Ohio two democratic United
States senators.
It is charged by the friends of Forakor
that Sherman is responsible for inject
ing the senatorial question into the
campaign , but they probably do the
senator an injustice in this. At any rate
it is unfortunate that the issue was
made , for as ho situation now looks
Dhio seems pretty sure to lese the dis
tinguished rank the stnto has so long
hold In the national senate. Mr.
l-'oraker cannot fill the place of Senator
Sherman in that body , and the election
) f a democrat to succeed Sherman would
: > e a distinct misfortune to Ohio and to
, hu country. So far as the campaign
'or governor is concerned the ropubll-
: an outlook nupoars to bo as fair as
jould bo desired. The vigorous work
joing done by Major McKinley it huv-
ng its effect , and with all tlio condl-
, ions favorable to the prosperity of the
> ooplo the election of the state ticket
vould seem to bo assured. The ono
lunger that appears threatening is the
oss of the legislature , and the serious-
loss of this could not very well be
ivnrstatod.

Tlio democracy of Pennsylvania offered
10 encouragement at their late conven-
ion to their political brethren In Ohio
, nd Iowa who are supporting the cause
if a free and unlimited coinage of silver.
? ho platform deals almost wholly with
tate affairs , but reference is made in a
Ingle plank to national issues , and the
oclaratlon Is made that the democracy
f Pennsylvania are in favor "of a sound.
, nd stable currency bused on gold and
liver coined and circulated in such pro-
lortlons as will keep them on a purity ,
'his Is not u definite enunciation against
roe coinage , but everybody who euros
o will understand that it is practically
declaration of hostility to that policy ,
ocuuso while no ono may be competent
o say just what the proportions must bo
11 order to maintain parity , there are
ory few who question that the effect of
lie unrestricted free coinage of silver
ould bo to destroy U. Kvery dollar now
isuod by the government Is ns
oed as any other dollar , for
lie reason that there Is a limit
J the coinage of all except gold. But
dept the proposition that the govern-
tent shall coin all the silver brought to
j minis and the soundness and stabili
ty of the currency would very prompt
suffer. It would have boon more con
ngoous on the part of the Ponnsylvtin
democrats to have explicitly dcclan
their opposition to free coinage , but
pronouncing for a sound and stable en
ronny they leave no reasonable doubt
to what they meant. To all intents ut
purposes their uttornnce U a rebuke I
the larger element of the party which
demanding free silver.
There Is another fact In connccttc
with the Pennsylvania democratic co
vontlon-whlch is somewhat nutoworth ,
und that Is the omission of any referom
in the platform to Mr. Cleveland. II
name was cheered In the convontioi
but the platform builders had nothin
to say about him. It la said to bo tl

Is significant , as showing that thnro is
sentiment among the Pennsylvania don

LA neil DAI' .
Nebraska was not the first state t
designate one day in tlio year ns "Lii
bor day" and make it a legal holiday
but her legislators were prompt to eim
late the example , and thus far thes
celebrations have justified the reason
for establishing the holiday. The ot
sorvanco of Labor day this year pron
iscs to bo more general and enthusiast !
than heretofore. In Omaha iinusua
preparations have been made for it
celebration , and all classes of organize !
labor will unite iu making the oc
casion ns imposing and impressive n
possible as an exhibition of the forces o
labor. The parade may lack somowha
in pomp and pageantry , but as a demon
stration of the muscle and sinew whicl
are daily contributing to the growth an
prosperity of the city , it will have an interest
torost and suggostlvonoss peculiar t
itself. Very few people rouli/.o ho\ \
largo a force labor can muster in Otnalui
and while it will not show all it !
strength today , enough of it will bo see ;
to give a very satisfactory idea of th
great part it performs in the loca
economy.
It is well that the community should
bo occasionally reminded of this. It ha
a tendency , altogether wholesome , t <
keep alive a respect for labor and also t
make labor self-respecting. While th <
public manifests its interest in the mot
who have laid aside the tools and implements
ments of their trades for a day of rocroa
lion and enjoyment created especially fo
them , the men should feel that it rest
altogether with themselves to retain th <
public interest and to ju. lify the logisln
tion which affords them the spccia
privilege of an exclusive holiday. Th <
recurrence of Labor day is also a most
appropriate occasion for workingmen tc
consider their condition and opportuni
ties under our free institutions as con
trasted with the loss fortunate condition
and the narrower opportunities of th <
workers of the old world. There will bi
in the ranks of the marching col
unm of labor today hundreds of men
who came to this country poor and an
now prosperous , with homos of thoii
own and all needed comforts. Thoj
may revert to the time when in thoii
native countries they found it diHloull
10 make ends meet , though , they prac
ticed the utmost economy , and they ina.y
know of others where they cnmo from
who are now having a harder exper
ience than they had. If there bo any tc
whom such reflections shall come thoj
will hardly full to bo impressed with the
duty of cultivating a stronger affection
for the country of their adoption and ti
higher determination to preserve intucl
the institutions which have omiblod
them to prosper and to live as men
should live , and which are the guaranty
of equal or greater blessings to ihoii
children.
Undoubtedly Labor day may bo re
garded as permanently established in
Nebraska , and it is only a question ol
tlmo when uueh a holiday will be un in
stitution of all the states. The objec
tions that confronted it at the outset
have been overcame , and we do not
know that there is now opposition to It
anywhere.
TIIK crop prospects continue encour

the people must give them the substan
tial aid of increased patronage or times

than in that which lias just closed. The

MINNEAPOLIS sturtcd out 'six weeks
go to raise u fund of $ oOOiX > for tlio
opublicun national convention. The
lutost report Is that 313,000 has boon
secured , and the committee Is resting
from Its luboh ) temporarily. The news
papers of that city now Insist that the
Minnesota metropolis Is in earnest , but
an Impression Is becoming current that
she Is discouraged over her prospects ,
and will soon scv the usolcssncss of at
tempting to compete with Omaha for the
honor of entertaining that great politi
cal orgnnlza iblf ! The fight is really

AMKUICANS do not take kindly to se
cret political organizations. "Political
campaigns , whether local or national ,
must bo conducted In the light of open
day , nnd not In the dark re
cesses of the slur chamber. No
secret political society ever has , over
will or ever can bo permanently success
ful in directing public affairs in n free
country. The fate of the infamous do-
fund Twenty-eight club Is ntnplo proof
ol the soundness of this conclusion.
SuntrmiAN saloons and road houeos
prosper best in summer. Perhaps the
county commissioners are merely giving
the proprietors of these unlicensed es
tablishments the full benefit of the sum
mer trade and will boar down on thorn
with great vigor when the prosperous
season Is over. This will bo expensive
to the county and unjust to law abiding
liquor dealers , but profitable to tbo out
side saloon men , and may perhaps help
out the next election.
COTTON SKKD alliances nro to bo
organized all ever Iowa in the interest
of the third party organization brought

democratic party , Iowa alliance people
are naturally vary suspicious of its
movements in their great republican
state.
THE state fair is now open , though
the people will not likely attend it in
great numbers until next week. The
state fair has grown to proportions
which make it ono of the greatest agricultural

in Nebraska , and deserves the largo at-
londanco which each succeeding year
lias seen increased ever since the perma
nent location at Lincoln was determined
upon. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
SOUTH DAKOTA republicans should

Ono by one tno party increased us the train
sped towards its destination , until It
numbered twenty-two , to suy nothing of the
Indian baby , which was ul once- adopted us
the muscol of tlio expedition.
Between Omnha and Lincoln the party was
Increased by u Lincoln delegation , consisting
of the mayor , city council and u number or
prominent citizens who wcro there to wol-
uome the entrance ol' the Uoolt Island road
into Nebraska's capital. As a token of Lin
coln's best wishes for the success of the
Uock Island's latest venture , a beautiful
floral offering in the .simps of a Maltese cross
was presented 10 the representatives of the
management , avid J. J. Gillilan of Lincoln
echoed the sentiments of his follow citizens
In u few well clioson words. Mr. W. S. Page
received It on behalf of the road and said
that although he had expected a hearty welcome -
como from the west , he had no thought of
the way being strewn with flowers.
An inspection of the quarters to which the
party wcro assigned showed Unit no expense
had boon spared in obtaining the latest and
most elegant product of the Pullman com
pany's handiwork. Bronzed screen work
and hoveled plato glass mirrors sot olT the
entrance of the sleepers , while the Interior
is a trill mull of artistic decoration in polished
mahogany , and panels of seal brown pressed
velvet. A day's rldo was sulliciont to assure
the members of the comfort ns welt as the
beauty of the Xono , the car which thojr occu
pied. An Inspection of the dlnnnr proved
also that that the culinary department hud
not been neglected.
It did not'tako long for tno parly to become
acquainted and the afternoon slipped quickly
by , as the train passed through the ripening
corn fields , past herds of cattle and busy
Nebraska towns. Entering Kansas evening
croot on us , and when the gas was lighted
the members of the Lincoln delegation re
galed the audtonco with a rod hot tarill debate
bate ; now and then the whole company
would burst forth in Bomo song , to the nuisii
of Colonel Chase's pencil , uusily prepariiu
yards of resolutions , which by special reqnos !
were read at intervals on tbo journey.
Morning found nil early risers to catch the
first gliuipso of Pike's Peak dimly outllncc
far on * on the horizon. At 7 o'clock the lonp
train rolled into the union depot nt Deiivci
on time to the mlnuto. The mountain ail
gave a special relish to breakfast in spite ol
the splomliu faro on board the train.
Ten o'clock found the party assembled In
the parlors of the Hotel Albany , where a
delegation of Denver newspaper representa
tives and business men awaited them. Gov
ernor llouter of Colorado extended a wol-
coino on behalf of the state anil Mayor Rogers
on behalf of the city of Denver. Compli
ments were exchanged , and champagne un
corked to the success of the enterprise , and
the parly entered the carriages for a ride
through the city.
The now ousinoss blocks wcro an offset
for the unp.ivod streets , ana nn inspection of
Colorado's now uapltol building showed that
no expense was to bo spared In its construc
tion. Only a glance was needed to impress
the fact that Denver Is far ahead of Omatia
in her residences and retail business houses ,
but behind Omaha in her wholesale trade
and manufactures. Denver's appearance is
rendered much more metropolitan by reason
of Doing pro-emiuontly 11 city of brick and
stone ; a frnmo building Is as tarans u paved
street. The constant stroatn of tourists
which pour through Denver has made prac
ticable for her n plan which Omaha has long
cherished the erection of a million dollrr
hotol. This winter will see under roof the
finest hotel In the west , a musslvo trian
gular structure of brick and stone which
will bo a monument to western enterprise.
After enjoying the hospitality of Denver
the party loft for Colorado Springs and
General Passenger Agent Firth and Mr. D.
J. Flynn , the Denver representatives of the
Hock Island , dlu all in their pownr to make
the party's stay In Colorado u pleasant one.
Perhaps the most enjoyable incident of the
trip was a visit to Droadmoor , where Count
Pourtales gave us a taste of true western
hospitality. A morning drive from Colorado
Springs through the Garden of the God *
to Manitou is delightful under any cir
cumstances , but under a clear sky such as
favored us tbo mountain ride was rendered
doubly so. After ascending Pike's Peak on
the cog-wheel railroad the members of the
excursion separated , some returning home
ward , others spending a few more days In
the mountains.
Mr. Bonnell In speaking of the advantages'
of the great Hock Island route Is in his cle
ment and knows the whole system from A to
Z. In explanation of the now llmo rurd ho
said : "Wo offer a choice of thrco routes
across the Missouri river to three foot hill
cities. The river crosslinks arc Omiha , St.
Joe and Kansas City , The mountain termini
arc Denver , Colorado Springs and Puoblo.
The shot-teat of these lines Is by war of
Omaha and Lincoln , and tlio fastest train *
run that way. At ti o'clock every evening a
solid vostibula train leaves Chicago for Kan
sas City and Topoka. This U a
heavy train through Illinois and Iowa.
At Trenton , Mo. , It Is divided , ono
part going through St. Joe and the
other through Kansas City and Topeka , JoinIng -
Ing again ut Uellevllle , a few stntlous east of
Phillipsburtr. The fastest tram of the lot
loaves Chicago ovcrv night nt 8'lfl. It In a
solid vestibule train and runs through Hock
iHland , DCS Molncs and Council BUUTs and
on west over the new line through Lincoln.
It leaves Chicago two ana one-half hours
later than the Kuuaas City train , but catches
the latter at Phlllipsburg , Kan. There it
takes on tbo Denver Hloopor and chair cur
from the Kansas City train and gives up the
Colorado Springs and Pueblo through car *
to the Kansas City train. From Phillips-
burg west there are two trains after
the trades have been made ono
going to Denver ill root and the ether
to Colorado Springs and Pueblo , That gives
tbo ixioplo any where along our road u cliauco
to take through sleepers or chair cars to any
of the thrco mountain towns they happen to
want. Thosn trains uro heavy onoi , but the
best of motive power Is used , and tboy maka
good time , Arriving nt the mountains In timi
for early breakfast ,
On the return nno trntn lonros Coltriao
Springs nt TU ! ) p. m. and the ether leave *
Denver at 8 p. in. They run via Llmon and
Phlllipsburg , and there plvo and ink a
can M before nnd go on ai two
through trains to Chicago. The ono tak

Lincoln at'M \ : p. m. and Chicago at 7:45 :
the next morning , Busldos those ( Ivors wo
have slower trains going over the three
routes , leaving Chicago nt ItO ( ) : ! every night
nnd nrrlvo in Dourer nt 7 o'doek the second
end evening. Tlio return trains leave the
foot hill cities from 0 to S o'clock In thu
morning and arrive at Chicago on the second
