TIIK COKVKNTIOlf ,
When Urn republicans moot in Lincoln
next Thursday nt 10 o'clock n. m. tlio
Ilrst biMlncrts which will require their
attention will naturally bo the organiza
tion of the con vontlon. Hitherto this
linn been frequently in ado the test of the
atrcngth of various Issues presented.
Sometimes it is tided to show the relative
number of votes for the several candi
dates and nt other titnoa it becomes the
evidence of the manipulation of the con-
vantlon In n , particular intorcst. The
republicans must see to it that the pro-
aldlng.olllcor is not only n staunch re
publican who Is nblo to direct the busi
ness of the convention in n proper man
ner , but ono also who cannot ho accused
of fealty to any railroad or other cor
porate monopoly in the state.
It is slncoroly hoped by Tim Bcr. on
behalf of the republican party that the
railroads will not attempt to secure the
organization or In any other way to ma-
nipulnto the deliberation * of the con von
tlon. A generous competition aiming
candidates for advantages of posi
tion is to bo expected , though
ityould bo more in keeping
withth o principles of the party to hnvo
a man named for chairman who would
Bcorn to use the position for the ad
vancement of any particular interest or
the bonollt of ono candidate as against
another. Tin : Urn regards the cam
paign as ono of such Importance to the
party as to make it essential that all
factional controversies bo buried nnd
that every effort bo made to harmonize
diTerences ( instead of arousing them
anew. It therefore urges upon repub
licans the importance of selecting a ,
fair minded man for chairman whoso
interests are with the producers nnd
whom all good republicans can earnestly
second in conducting the deliberations
of what promises to bo the most impor
tant state convention over hold in Ne
braska. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TIIK MANUFAOTUHKHS' JIKETIKO.
Acting upo'n the suggestion of THE
BKI : and in furtherance- the campaign
on behalf of Omaha industries , tlio man
ufacturers of the city will meet tomor
row afternoon to organize an association
and discuss the situation. Special ef
forts have been put forth to secure a
largo and i oprcsonlutivo attendance and
ii useful co-oporativo organization ought
to grow out of the mooting.
The newspapers , by attracting tlio at
tention of the people to the importance
of helping each other and so helping
themselves nnd increasing the commerce
of Omaha , can do a great deal toward
developing local industry. Newspapers ,
however , cannot bo expected to go to retail
tail dealers and consumers with definite
information as to the character and
prices of the manufactures of the city.
They can create public sentiment but can
not combine the inlluoncos which practi
cally apply the principle of patronizing
homo industry. A combination of
all the manufacturers for the
mutual benefit of trade with nn
industrious , intelligent and capable
secretary will have behind it not only the
capital and business interests directly
connected with the industries thorn-
solves , but the thousands of em
ployes and their families and friends.
These working together under skil
ful and honorable direction can
make it to the interest of every
retail dealer , jobber and agent to give
the preference to Omaha manufactures
prices and quality of articles offered for
sale hoing equal to those from abroad.
The Manufacturers' association can bo ,
nnd it is confidently expected will bo , n
power for the strengthening of Omaha
commercially.
NATIONAL UK I HOdltESSION.
When a country is able to show n
growth of population of but little more
than 1 per cent a year , it is fairly to bo
said of it that it is retrograding. This
is the condition of Canada as shown by
the rccont census. The total population
is only 4,823,341 , a gain of loss than half
u million in ton years , the rata of in
crease for the decade being n
little over 11 per cent. It is
not surprising that such Tin ex
hibit has cnusod great dissappoint-
mont throughout the Dominion , and
that the most earnest discussion is being
given to the causes which are assumed
to explain the fact that Canada lias been
for years practically at a standstill so
far as population is concerned. '
This showing is the more rejnarkablo
fi cm the fact that for the past ten years
the Dominion government has made ex
traordinary olTorts to stimulate immi
gration nnd was successful in at
tracting to Canada 850,000 foreigners.
The evidence is plain , however , that
they did not remain there , and the only
conclusion is that the great majority of
tffom found their way into the United
Stales , together with hundreds of thou
sands of Canadians. The olTorts of the
Dominion government in encouraging
immigration have obviously boon of
no benefit to Canada , but have Himply
helped to augment the population of
this country. The oonsus indica
tions are that the Canadian emi
gration in our favor was greater during
the last ton yours than over before , and
there Is every reason to expect that it
will bo still greater in the next ton years ,
for it is to bo borne in mind that the
phunomonal development of hur north
western provinces took place during the
last dccudo and aha can have no uuch
experience during the next ton years.
It was during this period that the open
ing of her great interocoanlo rail
road gave nn impetus to settlement -
mont and prosperity which she
is not llkoly to witness ugaln. What
could not bo accomplished under the
favoring conditions of the last ten years
Is not llkoly to bo attained in Uio next
ton , nnd indeed the outlook for Canadian
progress appears anything but encour
aging.
It would sooin that the present government -
ornmont is imprct-sod with the necessity
of n radical change from the national
policy regarding trade which was Insti
tuted in 1870 , and from which the
most honoficont results wore expected.
An appeal Is to bo made to the imperial
government for the renewal of certain
restrictions imposed by the commercial
treaties of Great BriUiin with other na
tions , sons tooiuiblo Cimiida to negotiate
reciprocity arrangements upon terms
most advantageous to her own interests.
In other words , the proaout Do
minion government wants n , larger
measure of commercial Independence.
This may ho granted , but how
much good It would do Canada
whllo she remains" n dependency of Great
Britain Is wholly problematical. The
obvious fact Is that Canada IB nt nn
enormous disadvantage in competition
with the United Slates nnd must con
tinue to bo so long as she maintains her
present colonial relations. Doubtless her
wiser statesmen tmdorptnnd thin , but
cannot scon clear way out. Independence
probably could not bo had for the nsKlng
nnd it is by no means certain that a
majority of the people would bo
willing to attempt to obtain It by force.
Annexation to the United Stales is
repugnant to tlio loyal sentiment of the
dominant element , which will refuse to
the last to sacrifice power. But the
Canadian people will hardly rest Batis-
Hoi witli conditions so unfavorable to
progress as those prevailing during the
past ton years hnvo proved to bo , and
important political and commercial
changes in the Dominion , which cannot
fail to bo of great interest to the pcoplo
of the United States nro to bo expected
in the near future.
A LRSSOX ON HOitK I'ATIIONAOK.
A few years ngo when Omaha was
half Its present slzo , ono largo cigar
factory employed 12-5 hands , paying
tltom from$10 toloeach per week. Tills
was ono of several establishments en
gaged In manufacturing cigars. There
wore not less than 250 cigar makers reg
ularly employed in Omaluvvit that timo.
There are now out thirty-live and tlioso
are not all steadily at work throughout
the year. Then Omaha cigars wore
largely bold nt homo nnd as far west as
Utah and Montana. Today tlio business
is nltogether insignificant.
Eastern goods have crowded the homemade -
made article out of the market. East
ern tenements and child labor hnvo de
stroyed a great local industry without
cheapening the price of cigars to the
local consumers. The manufacturers
are not to blame for this. The people of
this city are to blame so far as Omaha
trade is concerned. On all higher
grades of cigars the Omaha factories can
undersell those of the oasu This is a
fact which can bo readily attested , and
the local dealers would gladly carry
Omaha made goods if they were demanded -
manded by Omaha smokers.
A loading cigarmakor in Omaha states
deliberately and after mature reflection
founded upon twenty years experience
hero , that if Omaha people would buy
one-halt the cigars they smoke from
Omaha factories it would require 500
cignrmakors to meet the demand. The
jobbing houses could add another largo
number by pushing Omaha cigars in
their trade. Now 500 cigarmakors ,
earning an average of S13 per week ,
would receive and expend $ G,500 a week
or 3335,000 a year. If the men could bo
induced to buy Omaha made cigars the
industry , which wo have allowed to die
of neglect , would recover in nn amaz
ingly short time , nnd the i etail trade in
all branches would bo materially stimu
lated.
THE METHODIST ritEACHEIt.
Among protestant denominations
none is more aggressive and successful
than the great Methodist Episcopal
church. The Wcsloyan communion in
nil its branches represents about 40.-
000,000 souls. These are not all mem
bers of the church but their religious
beliefs nro moulded and directed by the
followers of John Wesley. The Methodists -
odists in all the countries of the globe ,
for no section of this earth has boon ab
solutely neglected by the enthusiastic
missionaries of Arminiaiiism , are noted
especially for the earnestness of their
convictions , the magnetic power of their
eloquence and the cohesive strength of
their organizations whether largo or
small in numbers.
The pioneer protestant preachers of
America have been largely of this do-
nomination. Wherever the immigrant
pitched his tout or erected his c.ibin on
the prairie or in the forest , ho was very
soon visited by the pioneer circuit rider.
The Peter Cartwrights of Methodism
in America were the earliest minis
ters of the gospel among the
hardy American settlers from the
Alleghanies to the Pacific coast , nnd to
their zeal and organizing ability west
ern Christians ewe n great deal of the
deep religious sentiment which perme
ated the otherwise rough civilization'of
the states lying botwccn the Appala
chian range nnd tlio Mississippi rivor.
The pioneer Methodist preacher of the
olden time , as ho rode through the
almost trackless forests , sang :
No foot of laud do I possess ,
No cottaeo In this wilderness ,
A poor wayfaring man ,
with a fervor sometimes amounting to
what in these loss demonstrative days
would bo called frenzy. Ho preached
free grace , instantaneous conversion ,
universal ' salvation to those who accept
tho'torms upon which it was offered ,
holl-firo nnd damnation to the others
and every dogma and doctrine of the
beloved founder of his church with all
the zealot sincerity nnd ull the 11 ro of
the rude eloquence which in these days
gave him the psychological power of
throwing his hearers into hysterics of
happiness or the agony of despair. In
deep , sonorous tones , electrifying the
very trees of the camp ground , the
preacher's voice was hoard ubovo all
the rest singing
Plunged In a golf of dork despair
Wo wretched sinners lay.
The earnest prayers for nnd magnetic
exhortations to sinners supported by the
old-fashioned oloctrio "nmon" of the
brethren and the shouts of joy from the
saved sisters mingled with the groans of
anguish from seekers nt the mourners'
bench carried conviction to the unsaved
yoouion in the congregation , ns rovlvnl-
istH now-n-dnys seldom succeed in Influ
encing them. It wiu not uncommon to
witness such n "mighty manifestation of
the spirit" ns would strike nwo In the
soul ol every man , woman nnd child
within hearing of the preacher's voice
and to sco hundreds drop on their knees
in n moment nnd cry aloud for salvation.
Amazing gruco how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like mo ,
in tones of triumph from the whole ns-
soinblago or some similar hymn , with
"Bless God , " "Hallelujah , " "Praise His
holy Name" and similar pious ejacul
ations from the earnest pcoplo marked
tlio announcement thnt one or moro
Botitfl had "oxpdoncod ) ) the blessing- "
Tlio old fn3hltfnl revivals , the old-
fashioned proaoliors anil the old-fash-
ioncil eamp-ntflbllngiJ are no moro.
The great chu'rW.lias grown largely
dut of the primitive practices In which
its strength wiwVjrlglnally centered. In
stead of the riiggod common sense
backwoodsman itlfo modern Methodist
pronchor is a pulfshcd theologian. The
four weeks clrciU ilias boon abandoned
and the people of every village must
have ono sormop , at least , weekly. The
quarterly mooting is no longer a great
ingathering of the men nnd women
of the church from n rnrtluq of fifty
miles. Asbury and Hoddlng whoso
pious energy and native ability
made them revered loaders of a scattered
but growing church nro replaced by
eighteen highly educated , eminent
and powerful bishops. The slto
of the log hut of * a church with but ono
hymnbook in the congregation is occu
pied by a magnificent structure
elegantly seated and carpeted , nnd n
pipe organ lends the congregation in its
singing. The times hnvo changed nnd
the church and the preacher have
changed with them.
The Methodist churcn has lost none
of its aggressiveness and none of its
power notwithstanding the modifications
wrought in its methods by timo. Its
doctrines remain intact as they were in
the onrly days though presented with
persuasive eloquence instead of threat
ening malediction. There is no misun
derstanding the Methodist creed or
its church regulations. It sounds the
note of warning to sinners with
trunipot-Hko clearness and exhorts the
brethren to good works along the most
practical lines. Methodism is a tireless
force In the Christian world. Accord
ing to its doctrines no middle ground or
negative position- possible. The
typical Methodist preacher of today is
like his church. Loyalty to his denomin
ation is a part of the strength of his
religion. The bishop is the apple -
plo of his eye , no\t in nis
affection nflor God and the church.
His parishioners nro his brothers and
sisters and their spiritual welfare his
earnest , constant responsibility. lie is n
welcome visitor in the homes of nil
Methodist people , whether they have
over known him or not. Ho is the fee
to everything which tends to evil in
family , society or the church. His views
upon all topics , religious , social nnd
political , are positive , frank and dog
matic. There is jv right and a wrong ,
and the ono is in'ctoVnal conflict with the
other. He will rebuke what ho regards
as sinful , wherever it is presented , by
whomsoever ndvpcatod and regardless
of personal consequences. He is n po
tential force in 'ovory ' community to
which ho is sent by his bishop. Ha
prnaches wi th as' much zeal for $300 a
year as 35,000 , and is apparently just
as confident | n" his call to the
ministry. Ho neypr doubts ; ho al
ways believes. Ho/ bears acquaintance
well and finds at cordial homelike
atmosphere awaiting him whenever ho
happens upon "former members of his
charge' " Ho boliSveavho occupation on
earth is as useful , honorable or success
ful as that of tbo Methodist preacher.
Ho is absolutely indifferent to ridicule
and ho courts contention on controverted
theological topics. Ho is about the hap
piest man on earth and ho knows
that "heaven is the homo" of his soul
just as certainly as earth is the tempo
rary dwelling place of his body. It is
these characteristics that induce him to
accept the license of an itinerant and to
wander about at the behest of his presiding -
siding older and the bibhop uncomplainingly - '
ingly , cheerfully and continually. The
'
Methodist preacher wins'the love of his
pcoplo and commands the respect of
ov.orybody else.
QHKAIKH HAIUROAl ) SPEED.
Great progress has boon made within
a few years in increasing the speed of
travel by rail , and it is safe to say that
the end of attainment in this respect
has not yet boon reached. Until now
the record for the greatest railroad
speed has belonged to England , although
there are instances of remarkable speed
made in this country. A London and
Northwestern train , in August , 1888 ,
made n trip from London to Ed
inburgh , 400 miles , in seven
hours and fifty-two minutes , which is n
gross speed of CO.O miles nn hour. Tliroo
stops were made , and the- actual running
time was seven hours and thirteen min
utes , or 55.4 miles an hour. The Scotch
express between London and Edinburgh
makes n gross speed of 51. G miles an
hour , but seventy miles an hour has
boon made on that lino. The Royal
Blue limited , between Jersey City and
Washington , makes the run at an
average actual speed of 52.8 miles
an hour , nnd does it every day. Speed
of n mile n minute has boon attained on
several American railroads on special
occasions , notably on the Chicago &
Northwestern , when n few months ngo
Jay Gould nnd party wore whirled from
Omaha to Chlca i ) in loss than ton
hours , the train .making moro than a
mlle a minute ovtirMi part of the route.
But the fastest iojjg-distanco run ever
made on a railroad was accomplished n
few days ago on tljjj'jNow York Central.
when It was demonstrated that not only
is sixty miles an liuur possible , but that
that rate can bo 1/JIJjjt / up for hundreds of
miles. This trip 'was between Now
York nnd Buffiilb , a distance of 410
miles , and it wasuuido in 448 minutes ,
including stops which consumed about
thirteen mlnutosVJ On a part of the
route mlle after mVfo was rolled off in
fifty seconds , and counting stops the av
erage speed for tllA entire run was 01 , i 1
miles an hour. The locomotives with
which this speed was attained
are of improved construction , and their
aosignor , Mr. Willluin Buchanan , ex
pects to accomplish still greater results.
But It la sutllclont for the present to
hnvo the demonstration that on a good
road bed ana with proper equipment
sixty miles an hour can bo accomplished
for almost any distance , for obviously If
it may bo run for 600 miles it may bo for
double that distance- things being
NOIIODY but n fool would over suggest
that bank deposits are cash in the sumo

It Is no moro essential that there should
bo a volume of currency equal to the
amount of money subject to draft in the
banks or the total volume of business
transacted than that a retail firm doing
n business of $500,000 per year should
always have actually $500,000 worth ol
goods in their store , or thnt a life insur
ance company should keep always in
convertible securities enough resources
to pay its entire liabilities , count
ing the face of each policy a liability.

It Is rooortcd that Judge A. M. Post Is a can
didate for the supreme bench. 'There has not
been any definite- announcement of tlio fact ,
but If It Is true he will have a largo tol.owlng.
During his lonz term us district judge be has
won an envlublo reputation , which reaches
fur beyond his Jurisdiction , and there Is no
word to be suld ugnnist him. Hn Is a thorough
lawyer and an accomplished jurist.

The nomliiutlon of Cobb for supreme judge
by the republicans will undoubtedly huvo tlio
oftect to cause a largo body of democrats to
vote for Kdserton bo uusoof the former's per
fidious method of unseating Itoyd. They do
notouject so much to the decision us to the
manner In which It was rendered nnd the un
seemly haste In Issuing the writ of ouster. In
this It was a disgrace to the judiciary and the
stato. '

If the nomination of a candid a to for
supreme judso was left to the republican
pjpersofthis Rtuto , Jiulio Ueeso would re-
colvo the nomination on the first b illot by an
overwhelming majority. Tno pros * of the
st'ito Is almost unanimous for him , and If the
state convention refuses to accept him ns the
standard to iror of the party this year , It will
make a serious mistake and one that will
llkoly cost the party defeat at the polls this
full. _

If the republican party In Nebraska doslros
thoolootlon of a supreme Judge of Its own
choosing , the uholco must bo a man whoso past
record Is In harmony with public sentiment.
Any other course will louil to certain defeat ,
nnd wo may say In truth that whllu there are
others whoso character uml record will boar
the ulouost Hurutluy tvlthout nn objection
belni ? found , yet under all the circumstances
the Indications point to Judge lluoto as the
most acceptable to the people , he having been
tried to their ontlro satisfaction and found
faithful to his distinguished and responsible
trust. The time has coma wnon pist party
mistakes cannot be repeated without defeat ,
and aspirants of doubtful reputation must
have no connldeiatloci In republican conven

"flomo mistily IntorostliiK
Given Out.
A reporter nccostcd Senator Swltzlor yes
terday on the subject of the dram ! IslnnJ
platform ntirt run onto eomothuiR unexpected.
When naked about tlio platform nnil par
ticularly the criticism thnt has been nindo o -

to sny nothing either wny on the ullvor ques

ably much harm In her hot contest on tnli
subject , If the democrats ot this now western
state had ropui'itucJ the free silver Idea
altogether. As It win , the plunk on this sub
ject is broad enough to satUfy about every ,
body.
Then the senator snld : "Slncoyou hnvo
nuMitlonoil the subject I wnnt to toll vou that

manly n lotlor us over fell from thu pen of n
public ofllcyr , nud 1 am Inclined to glvo It to

It asked and obtained his pormUsion to use
It In any wny I aw lit , 1 showed it to sev
eral ns Grand Island , some of whom wcro in
clined to crltlclso his vote , and nil , without
exception , snld that In Justice to the truth It
should bo published , and you can hnvo It.
"Tno truth Is the people of Nebraska have
never understood this vote ot Governor
Uoyil , nnd for this or some other roison hnva
not accorded him the support ho Is entitled
to. The truth Is , Jnmos li Iloytl Is u man
among men. Vo\v would have had the nerve
to have followed his own convictions against
the tompuitlons that were held out to him.
Do you know thnt down at Lincoln when ha
was considering this bill , there was n calico
convention of the democratic editors , who
mot there and practically took him up on n
mountain mid said : 'Now , governor , you
sign this bill nnil the world Is yours.1 In
other words , they offered to malio him king
of IcIiiRs nnd lord of lords if ho would go
against his oath-bourn ! convictions , simply
that the party might bo bonollltud. 1 say
party bcnolltcd because none would any tlio
bill was not ruinous to business nnd unjusti
fiable In the extreme. But hero is the lot-
tcr. "
Then the reporter was handed the follow
ing letter :
OVAIM. Sept. IG-Hon. Wnrrrn Swlt/lor :
My Dear Sir 1 have accepted the Judgment
ot Mr. Ugdon as correct and will not bo pres
ent at the convention tomorrow. Should It
become nocossaiv so to do , 1 trust you and
other frlonilH will In our platform place the
blame for tbo non-passage of a ruusonub'o
rate bill whoi'o it right belongs on the alll-
iinco members of the last legislature. Tlioro
Is n 8-iylng thut "self evouslng Is self licens
ing , " and It Is not my purpose to make any
excuses whatever for m v otllclul acts , but the
truth In regard to the maximum ruin bill us
passed by the Ieglnlatuio bus never been pub
lished In the newspapers , and comparatively
few of llio peonlo know whv a reasonable bill
was not passed.
Vou and I know that the alliance members
did not wuut reasonable legislation. They
wanted a grievance to go befoie the people
and ride into power under false colors. They
did not want n remedy. It was well known to
every alliance member of the lust assembly
that I was In favor of a reasonable reduction
In thu rates of freight from that which now
prevails throughout the commonwealth that
I strongly uived the s imo In my message as
governor , and that I would have slgncjl
a bill uvon though somewhat uniuason-
able and moro radical than In my judgment
the conditions required. Mutual viewed tha
act known us the "IS'owborry bill" tlio placing
of my namu thereupon In uppioval of Its
muusuros was , uceoidlng to my Judgment ,
equivalent to a confiscation of private prop
erty nnd a repudiation of personal rights.
My action waa guided .sololv by tlio vast In
tel ests nt stake. Iwusuuniouf the Increas
ing flume of antagonism between the majority
In the last assembly and thu railway lines ol
tliuHiate. 1 know that It only needed an Im
passioned heart and an eloquent tongue to.
make that mujoilty stand Ingot her as a stone
will In tlio blltor advocacy of any
measure directed against the pouer
mil property of these lines. I easily
foresaw that , moved by this foicu of passion
and reveu/e. such a measure would bo one of
partial paralysis and destruction to these
loads and to the business Inteiests of the
itato. Vou aio uwaio that during the debates
I personally urrud a loss o.vtiomo demand , I
believed that in calmer moods many who
voted for the bill would , upon n iiulut study ot
Its provisions , agree that mistakes hud been
made and serious wrongs Imposed. 1 was not
ilecolvod.
Hut It was urged upon mo that us a party
measure my signature to the act would ulti
mately destroy republican supremacy In tills
it ate. It was unroll that the bill was unoon-
jtltuUouui , and whether so or not , that a ma
jority of the supreme court would so declare
it , anil the act of tlio majority boliu the net of
the court , and the court being lepuhllean.s ,
Mich a decision would bo the crowning Infamy
nud the self-admlnisteicddo'ttli of that party.
How It was all tlgiued out with such pluuslbla
certainty 1 have never been nmilu aware. Hut
the argument to mo was jtpoolous. To approve
the bill required a violation of my outh.aHur-
render ot my personal convictions and a deg
radation of my olllco. Tills I huvo never done
and could not do. I did not bollo\o it my
mission thus to secure the xiipromuoy of my
party. Sordid I believe that pitrty would bu
lioiielltted if I had signed the bill and If I *
bad .secured success by such means it surely
would not have wished to retain me longer In
Its ranks.
I have never trained either personal or po
litical advancement by dishonorable
methods. I never will , and I have no upol-
oglns to make for my olllclal acts and 1,0 eon-
Lo.ilmont to mnko of the motives whluh
prompted every .step 1 took. Hut I do want
that , the people of Nubruskii should Unow the
truth and no man Is moro capable of telling It
Lo them than voursolf , whlcli I trust you will
luivu an opportunity to do at the democratln
jtulo convention. Vours truly.
