SPECIFICATIONS for asphaltum pavo-
jnont In Washington require a base of
twelve inches of broken stono. In
Omaha the base is concrete from four to
six inchca in thickness. These are two
good facts to keep in mind in discussing
prices , quality and durability.
AN OATH HOUND organization cannot
long maintain control in city , county ,
atnto or nation for the very excellent
reason that this is a free country. With
the Australian ballot to protect the in
dividual voter , there is no danger thnt
ho will bo intimidated by the throats or
ostracism of such organizations.
ENGLAND'S occupation of Mltylono at
the mouth of the Dardanelles , from a
Russian standpoint is mighty moan. It
is not excusable from any standpoint.
England has no more right to control
the straits loading to the Black son
than she would have to plant fortifica
tions on tlio isthmus of Panama.
NKHUASKA is a republican state by a
safe plurality upon party issues unmixed
with local questions or non-political
"Isms. " With a clean ticket nnd n
Btrong platform Nebraska can bo re
deemed for the republican party , but we
cannot afford to take miy chances or
commit any blunders. The situation is
noto'ncournging enough to warrant any
foolishness.
TIIK testimonials presented to the re

MASSACHUSETTS l
Tlioro is not at this time that complete -
ploto harmony among the republicans of
Massachusetts which IB necessary to suc
cess. There are factions in the parts * ,
representing individual ambitions ,
which may prove troublesome. The
party lacks a strong , commanding
loader , capable of adjusting the disturb
ing strifes and conflicts. Never since
the party was organ I nod have the repub
licans of the Bay state boon in greater
need of a head than they are at
present. They have n litivd light before
them , calling for the ablest leadership ,
and this is not promised. The men who
would naturally bo looked to to assume
such n responsibility do not command
the absolute confidence of the entire
party , for the reason thnt they are bo-
llovcd lobe chiolly anxious to promote
their norhotml political fortunes. The
contest between the friends of Mr. Crnpo
nnd Mr. Allen , prior to the state con
vention , has not tended to Improve -
provo the chances for harmonizing
the parly , and although there was no
evidence of serious disaffection shown in
the convention , it is not to bo doubted
that it exists. If it can bo overcome the
republicans will win , but without com
plete harmony the chances will bo
against them. ,
The candidate for governor , Hon.
Charles W. Allen , is a.young man of
brilliants parts and a good reputation as
a legislator , lie served live years in
tlio legislature and two terms in con-
press. IIo is a merchant and
manufacturer , and was put for
ward as a clean , capable and vigorous
representative of tlio young men. Such
a candidate It was expedient to nominate
in order to offset the influence of Governor -
ornor Uussoll , whom the demour.its will
renominatc , with the younger class of
voters. But how the older men of the
party , who generally favored another
man , will take tno selection , remains to
bo determined. If they yield and fall
into line there will bo no trouble
in hnrmoni/.ing the factions , and
with n vlffbroui and aggressive
campaign the republicans may recover
control of the state administration ,
which they lost last year for the second
time in a third of century. Governor
Russell , who had been j iaton In the
elections of 18S3 uud 18& ) , was elected in
1890 by a plurality of U.OOO , all the re
publican candidates for state olllcos
being elected at the same time except
for auditor. Russell is unquestion
ably a very/popular man , but of course
the conditions this year are far more
favorable to the republicans than
they were a year ago , outside of the
factional differences in the party. Mas
sachusetts was affected in common with
all other states last year , though loss
seriously than some others , by the extra
ordinary revulsion of popular sentiment ,
but the influences that brought this
about have since lost most of their force.
The total vote of Massachusetts for
president in 1883 was in round numbers
. ' ! 44,000 , the republicans having u plural
ity of 32,000. The total vote last year
fell short ol that two years before 59,000 ,
and the republican vote in 1&90 was
52,000 less than in 1888. While the
decline in the democratic vote was only
11,000. Unquestionably Massachusetts
is n republican state , nnd with harmony
and thorough organization the republi
cans can win this year. These condi
tions can bo secured if the leaders will
subordinate their por&onal ambition to
the good of the party , and In view of Uio
great importance of placing Massachus
etts safely in the republican column for
next year they ought to do this as the
iirst of patriotic duties.
THE OOALA SVUEMKS CONDEMNED.
The convention of representatives of
the Farmois' Alliance- and Industrial
union , which was in session at St. Louis
Tuesday nnd Wednesday , declared in
unqualified terms against the sub-treas
ury nnd land loan schemes to which the
alliance yfns committtod by the Ocala
platform. There is no equivocation
about the language with which the
St. Louis convention condemns tlio
indefensible propositions that the
covornmont shall Issue currency
upon non-perishable products and
make loans at a nominal rate of interest
on real estate , and the men who com
posed the convention made provision for
an educational campaign in opposition
to thobO crazy chomos. A committee
was appointed to lay the views of the
convention before the supreme council
of the alliance at. ts mooting in Novem
ber , nnd this committee was also consti
tuted n bureau of information author
ized to use all legitimate means for
Informing subordinate unions nnd
the public regarding the true views and
principles engaging the attention of the
Industrial classes. The convention rec
ommended that each state organization
select a committee to act as a bureau of
information in co-operation with the
national committee. The convention
distinctly disclaimed any purpose , as had
boon charged , to effect a separation or
division of the order.
Although the convention was not so
numerously attended as had been ex
pected , the declarations will not bo with
out weight and Influence. They are an
assurance to the country that there is a
considerable element in the alliance
which is too intelligent to bo deluded by
any such demagogic expedients as the
Ocala platform proposes , and which
has the courage to proclaim Its oppo
sition in a way not to bo misunderstood.
A few thousand men of this kind , with
common sense on their side , can put to
rout n million who make n
stand for something that is ut
terly foolish nnd impracticable. The
notion of the St. Louis convention , nnd
the campaign of education which it is
proposed to inaugurate , will have the
effect to strengthen the opposition in
Lho alliance to the sub-tro.isury and
land loan schemes , nnd it would not bo
surprising if there is greater haste to
abandon them than there was to make
them loading policies of the organiza
tion. It is unquestionable that they
tinvo boon steadily losing ground as
they have received intelligent anil
candid consideration. Very little in
vestigation Is nocnssary to show that the
inevitable result of putting these
schemes into effect would bo general
disaster in which the class in whose bo-
Imlt they are proposed would bo the
greatest suffer era. The farmers of this
country ennnotafford to cast their influ
ence In favor of any such illegitimate
expedients. Of all classes of the popu
lation tholr interests are most opposed
to n flab , currency , to class priv
ileges , nnd to nil devices which
would have the effect to revo
lutionize existing financial conditions
nnd radically unsettle values. The pro
ducer And laborer are best off when
there is stability , both financial nnd
commercial , when conlldcnco is Jlrmly
established and the currents of business
flow smoothly along. The Argentine
Republic , prostrate under the curse ol
cheap money , is an example of what
would happen hero if the sub-treasury
and land loan schemes were put
into effect , nnd the pcoplo who
nro suffering most in that country
today inro the farmers and laborers.
There ought to bo no possible danger of
such n state of affairs as exists in the
southern republic over being known in
this enlightened country , but confidence
in the intelligence , the honesty and the
patriotism of the American people does
not render unnecessary the exposure
and condemnation of the dangerous
schemes of reckless nnd solf-scoklng
demagogues. '
Jtnwi : Conn Is practically out of the
race for associate justice of the supreme
court. His best friends candidly admit
that his nomination would bo hazardous
under existing circumstances. lie may
have some fool-followers who will insist
upon pushing his name to the front at
the convention next Thursday , but the
convention will not head the ticket with
so weak a nominee. The convention , if
It Is guidedin its deliberations by the
wish to make up the strongest possible
ticket and prepare for an aggressive -
sivo campaign , will adopt a plat
form which pledges the party to
necessary reforms In no uncertain
tone nnd will nominate as n candidate
for associate justice of the supreme court
a man in whom the people already have
implicit confidence ; ono whoso past rec
ord is the best proof of his loyalty to the
best interests of tlio state and the re
publican party. Such a man Tin : BEE
can give an earnest , vigorous support ,
and such a man the republicans of Ne
braska can elect by a safe plurality and
so solidify the party for the far more im
portant contest of 1892.
L. W. OsiiOHNi : may bo able to cap
ture a delegation in his favor for dis
trict judge in his own county and thus
make a showing of strength In the re
publican district judicial convention ,
lie is probably politician enough to
bring this about but ho is so unpopular
with his own people that Washington
county will not give him a majority if
he bo nominated although ho may have
his name on both republican and inde
pendent tickets. In Douglas county
Mr. Osborne will simply bo a foot ball.
Douglas county will resent his under
handed attempt to defeat Judge Hope-
well of Bur * , county by burying Osborno
out of sight.
A OUAND ] tiry should have bcon ordered -
dored for this term of court to examlho
into the numerous charges of malfeas
ance in oflleo and to bring the two-mile
saloon keepers into compliance with the
law if for no other purpose , and home
body neglected a duty to which atten
tion wns duly called by allowing the
time to go by without providing for an
inquisition. There are objections to the
grand jury system , but it must bo
admitted on the other hand that this
time tried common law institution has a
most effective restraining influence upon
the vicious tendencies of citizens and
public officials.
ONI : of the brightest and host lady
teachers in the Omaha schools suggests
that the teachers can help educate the

pat rick will doubtless bo awake to the

bo greatly aided by intelligent instruc
tion as to their extent and merit with

Tun State Temperance union of Kan
sas admitted in their meeting at Topoku
the other day that piohibition Is a dead
failure in all the largo cities of the state
excepting Topoka. Of coin-so the union
charges the failure to enforce the law
upon the republican party instead of a
lack of local sentiment back of the law
in the large cities , but the admission is
significant.
COLONEL L. L. POLK , the big chief
of the southern alliance , will not stay in
Kansas very long. It appears that ho
was in command at Salisbury prison ,
North Carolina , during the war , nnd the
ox-prisoners have recognized him. Ex

IT is amusing to sec the prominent
part taken in state and local politics by

IT hardly" seems necessary to state
that Mr. Rosewater has not indicated to
anybody his preferences for mayor of

York Friendly to ilccso.
I"oi7f Tdna.
A peed many papers are advocating the
nomination of Judge .M. 13. Keeso for the supreme
premo bonuh. York county has always been
very friendly to Judge Rcose aim would
probably bo for him if ho were a candidate.
All recognized his integrity , nobility and
strict integrity. Some of the loaders ol the
independent , movement claim that n judge
need not necessarily bo a lawyer , but this
position is not in accord with thu wall estab
lished opinion of the jicoplo of this coun
try. They have always boliovcd. that
the very bo.it legal talent should bo
selected for the bench , and they
have not abandoned the idea. The
republicans will surely nominate a lawyer of
ability nnd a man who bus bad experience on
the bench , whotbor it bo Judge Hceso or
some ono else , and ho will probably bo
oloctod. The now and selfish idea of the in
competent candidate for judicial honors , that
anybody can bo a Judge will not bo endorsed
at tbo polls.

Return of the New York Central
President Full ol'Intercstins Tnlea.
New Yonic , rispt. 17. The day that
Chauncey M. Dopow comes homo from
Europe has oeon a Now York Central holi
day these ton years or moro. The ofllcors
and employes of thorailroad _ biro the Sam
Sloan and go down the bay with a band to
cheer homo their famous president , to hoar
his latest stories and to drink his very good
health.
It was "Dopow day" yostordav for this
year , and none of the rights psculiar to it
failed of observance duo und moot , nnd Mr.
Depcnv illuminated the occasion with a run
ning account of his Journeying , told in his
own fashion , alternate layers of solid obser
vation und fan. After gottlnp Mr. Dopow
aboard the Sloan , Commodore Van Andala ,
who always manages these things , extended
the annual welcome of the employes nad con
gratulated Mr. Dopow on bis .oscapo
from the temptations of baccarat and
tbo plots of Turkish brigands.
Mr. Dopow , when ho could , complimented
the Central people on the increased pros
perity of the railway , showed bow ho avoided
tbo baccarat snare by looking , this time ,
after the strange dark things in Euro no in
stead of its social phases , and how bo getaway
away from tbo brigands , chiefly by luck.
Dressed in a garb , which ho described as a
cross between a "costormotlRor und a pick
pocket , " Mr. Dopow wont slumming in the
VVhltechapol district and saw a depth of
poverty and misery that took his breath
away. The curse of the poor in Kugland
was unrestricted immigration , und the llrst
lesson drawn from bis tour was whether the
United States was not making a great error
in not increasing its barriers against the
flood of old wet Id paupers.
As to tbo brigand story , that came up in u
trip ho made with Mr. Cornelius Vdndorbilt
anil two Vanderbilt boys through u desert
300 miles wldo near the Balkan mountains.
They went uy the Oriental express , n flyer
that made fifteen miles an hour mm wns the
pride and Wonder of Turkey. I3rigunus inndo-
n practice of holdine Iho train ut > and solzlng
wealthy passengers for ransom. If the ran
som was not forthcoming they sent tholr
captive homo In sections , beginning with his
cars and then His noso.
"I never know such a mngnillcont opportu
nity for ransoms to bo so neglected , " said
Mr. Depew. "Hero wns Mr. Vanderbilt and
his sous on that tiuin , and the brigands
never peeped. "
At Athens ho stood on Mars Hill and tried
some 1'aulian eloquence on some Greeks who
were mending a road , and thov quit work for
tbo day. Ono thing ubout Athens was an
arrant fraud , and tint was the Muld of
Athens. Hu wont to l/oi nt about two thou
sand of her , with a tUi pinto over his heart to
preserve his afCocil/ins , and fauna she was
not good looking u lilt.
The thing that attracted bis attention most
in Franco was tlio In ton so enthusiasm over
everything Russian , since Kussla bad taken
the ropubllo cordially by the liana. "At
every dinner , publlo and private , " said Mr ,
Dopow , "whon thu charlotte russa comes on ,
tliu whole company gets up and slugs the
Uussl.m national hyir.n. "
After muklnir some study of the Husslan-
Jowlsh problem , Mr , Dopow concluded that *
Lho condition of the Jowish-Kusslan had not
been improved by tbo protest of America ,
but on the contrary had been made worse
Lban over. At the same time Kusstu had
taken on a coldness to America not known
since the civil war.
Boini. asked in regard to the feeling on the
McKlnloy tariff in Kuropo , Mr , Dopow said ;
"Tho only thing talked about In Kuropo , so
Tar as America Is concerned , Is the Ohio
election. They do not understand U as a
statti election. They only know that Mc
Klnloy , the author of the bill , Is running for
oQlco. They baliovo that In his election Is
, liu whole Issue of high or low tariff , Thov
Lhlnk If ho succeeds , then tbo McKlnloy bill
s a fixture , but if bo Is defeated , It will bo
repealed , the sumo us U would DO with thorn
Ify the defeat of the government , and there
is a solid vote there against McIClnioy , "
In regard to the feeling In Kurono oif the
World's fair , ho souls "The World's'fair
commissioners were very Kludly received in
Kuropo. They MOIO treated us diplomatic
representatives of tbo government und were
iccoptod as such. There is no organization
in Europe to acquaint exhibitors bow to got
to Chlcuao with their eooUs or to canvass lu-
lustrial neighborhoods for exhibits. This Is
nil to bo dorio vot. It H bard to tell whotbor
they feel kindly toward tbo fair or not. 'J'bo
World's fair ha * bad several things to con
tend with which are now dissipated. Of
course , thcro Is a dUtliiot hostility on the
part of manufacturers who have been hurt
jy the McKlnlov bill , and their dissatisfac
tion ts'dotrlmonUl to the fair. Onu clrcum-
stance which nearly puralyioJ tbo movement
for a while w the report thnt the contract
labor I AW would bo enforced against em *
filo.vos on nil shipments of machinery aont
tioro , and thnt they would hnvo to employ
jicoplo horn. This hts boon dlsilpittod , but
It was a long time before It was explained. "

Boston Olobo ! If tbo report of Iho armed
descent of British forces upon Slsrl Is true ,
that great European war which tins Ion ?
been n possibility becomes n very dangerous
probability.
Now York Morning Advortlsnrs H Is ob
served that when Mr. Bull helps himself by
force to anything the victim Is nlwnvs a
weakling. For a thousand years his robber-
to < i hnvo been laid on thcso comparatively
snfo Hues.
Now York Tlmofj : Tlw rumor thnt n body
of British troops had landed nnd tnkon pos
session of n harbor initlio Island of MyrtU
lene Is probably a stock-jobbing story , sug
gested by tbo rather nrtlllclnl story of the
Dardanelles.
Now York World : British diplomacy
must have nerved lUelf to n moro vigorous
stroke than It has recently at tempted , If the
reported solzura of tbo western port of the
Island of Mltylono lu the .rlCgcmi should turn
out to bo trtto.
Philadelphia Press : Lord Salisbury , by
occupying Mttylono , has taken ono of these
bold steps which make history nnd change
tno channels of empire. Ho has matched
Gibraltar by establishing an English strong
hold nt the mouth of the Dardanelles ,
Now York Herald : The occupation of
Mltylono Is a move on the part of Great
Britain full of significance. It Is proof thnt
England is alive to the ominous action or
Russia touching the Dardanelles , nnd does
not propose to lot thnt notion pnss without
notlco or preparation to moot It.
Denver Republican : The report thnt tbo
British landing at Sign , on the Island Mlty-
leno , wai that merely of n picnic party of
naval oUlcers is not worthy of much credit.
If it had boon merely the landing of n picnic
party the matter would not have stirred up
such n rumpus in nil the courts of Europe. It
is moro likely thnt the original report thnt
England Intended to occupy the island for
defensive purposes Is correct.
The Island of Mltylono , tbo Lesbos of the
ancients , has boon in possession of the Turks
for more than 400 years. It Is of considorabln
size , about thirty-eight by twenty-four miles ,
and , though not much cultivated , is very
fertile. Its chlof value to n maritime power ,
however , is that it contains some excellent
harbors , and Is near enough to the Dardn-
uollcs to servo as n bnso of naval operations
In that quarter. Modern wnr vessels oauld
roach the Dardanelles from Mltylono m n few
hours. Mltylono has 40,000 Inhabitants. In
the days of ancient Greece it win the birth-
placo'of some distinguished pcoplo , uuiong
thorn Sappho nnd Thcophrastus. But since
14IU It has boon under the bni , of Turkish
rule and almost unknown to history.

An old and crippled gate am I ,
And twenty years have passed
Since Ius swung up high and dty
Betwixt these posts so fast ;
But now I've grown so powerful weak
Despised bv man and beast
I'm scarcely strong enough to squeak ,
'
Allhough'l'm never greased ,
Twos twenty years ago , I say ,
When Mr. Euos White ,
Came kind of hanging 'round my way
'Most every other nicht.
Ho hung upon n\v starboard sldo
And she upon the other.
Till Susan Smith became his bride ,
And In duo time a mother.
I ( rroanod intensely when 1 hoard
Despite I nm no churl
My doom breathed in u single word ;
The baby wns n girl 1
And as she trow and grow nnd grow
I loud bemoaned my fate :
For she was very fair to view ,
And I I was the gate 1
Then in duo time a lover came ,
Betokening my ruin ,
A dnppor follow , Brown bv imino ,
The grown up baby woolii' .
They iprnnpiipon mo In they glonm ,
And talked of moon nnd star ;
They are married now and live nt borne ,
Aloiin wltti pa and mo.
Mv lot was happy for a year ,
No courting night nnd dnv
I had no thought. 1 had no fear
Bad luck would conio mv wav.
But oh , this morning , aavo tbo manct
There came a wild surprlso ,
A shadow Illtted grim and dailt
Across my sunny skies.
A doctor with a knowing smllo ,
A nurse with face serene ,
A bustle In the house the wbllo ,
Great Scottl what does It mean !
My hluuos ache , the look is weak ,
My pickets In n wnlrl ,
I boar that awful doctor spcalr ,
It Is another girl !

BBE.J At 10 o'clock tomorrow tbo secre
taries of the Stnto Bonrd of Transportation
will dubimtlU report concerning tbo de
mand for cheaper railroad rules. As the
work has been done In conjunction with the
executive ofllcon constituting tbo stnto
board It Is understood thnt the report will bn
endorsed. As ono of the executive ofllcors
expresses it , "Thu vordlct will bo a thunder
bolt. "
As tbo result of porststotit roportorlnl In
quiry , enough has been gleaned to lend to tbo
belief that no attention will bo paid to the
demand for cheaper rates , nnd It Is hinted
that both secretaries ami board nro unani
mously in favor of refusing to order cbeniior
transportation.
A number of llgurcs nnd arguments will bs
adduced to excuse such u decision. Among
ttiom will bo the allegation that n farmer nt
Hastings , over six hundred miles from SU
Louis , can ship his corn to tbo metropolis of
Missouri nt n cheaper rnto than farmers In
certain portions of Missouri only -00 miles
from thnt city. Also , that n man In Box
Butte county can ship his cattle to Omnhii ,
get it dressed , und sent thence to Chicago
cheaper thnn tbo snmo man could do did ho
llvo'ln certain parts of western Iowa.

LINCOLN'S POMTIOAL FIOHT.
This evening republican caucuses wora
held in n number of the different wards , nnd
nil dav long the various candidates hnvo been
endeavoring to make their calling and elec
tion sure , and tbo old ring that was given n
backset last surlnp has been particularly
active. It is alleged that it has control of
tbo Fourth ward , the homo of the defeated
mayor , and it is an acknowledged fact that
Field unu Hull control tbo ward , the most
pouulous in the city. A week ago these men
chose their delegates to go to tbo county con
vention and decided to dispense with the
risky nulsanco of holding any cau
cus. These tivo also decided to
hnvo tbo republicans of Lancaster
county vote for Tlbbctts , a democrat , for
district Judge , so that Hall and Field could
got democratic votes Ir. return. As n result
n howl has gouo up as many of the repub
licans do not wish to vote for a democrat and
because many llnd loult with several de
cisions of Hall on the bench , particularly
in tbo Owen cose , and are opposed to his
naming the delegation. Honcc , war has
boon declared and music may bo expected nt
the primaries tomorrow.
Among the latest persons to proclaim their
intention of running for oflleo are Mr. Miller
ofDmton precinct who wants to bo county
clj k Captain Louis Otto of Lincoln who
