Tomorrow morning at 10o'clock tl
most Important republican state convoi
tlon over hold In Nebraska will assomb' '
at Lincoln. There ore but throe ofllcoi
to nominate nnd there are no especial !
now Issues to bo presented nnd it U tl :
off-yenr In politics throughout the com
try. Nevertheless to the republicans <
this slate the deliberations of the cot
vontlon will bo awaited with nlmoi
feverish anxiety. If tno convention
absolutely indllloront to. or what
bolter , free from corporation influent
nnd interference and nominates n tlckt
which deserves the rcspectof the hones
voters of the state the election In Ni
vombcrwlll rosloro thoj-opubllcan part
to a power and prestttro which will mnk
Nebraska bafoly republican for 1892 nn
Mil break the backs of both the oppos
tlon parties.
It Is well once moro on the eve of th
convention to recapitulate the situatlo
and consider the conditions which onto
Into the coming contest. There wor
21-1,000 votes cast In the state olcctlo
ono year ago. These wore divide
among the parties as follows , usin
round numbers : Republicans , 7-1,00 (
Independents , 71,000 ; democrats , 03
000 ; prohibitionists > 00. Since th
election of one year ago th
republicans have lost nothing. Th
tendency has been rather to a return t
allegiance and tlioro is scarcely
shadow of iloubt but that wo h xvc 75,00
votes which cannot be swerved from th
ticket unless political hnrl-karl Is com
milted by nominating Cobb for associat
justice of the suwomo court and Gor
for regent of the university , thus sut
rendering unconditionally to the rail
ro. d ring. The Independents , by nccre
tions from the democrats , who are be
sieging the court hou.sus all over th
state and are willing to fight ii
any camp for the sake of the forag <
and spoils , have In all probability main
taiimd their strength at about 70,00
voles. The domoralixation of the demo
orals has been HO ( ; oiioriil and the pros
poet for success in the state election i
so absolutely hopeless that they will no
poll more than r > 0,000 votes in November
They arc not in the race at all unlos
the rcmiblicans put in nomination si
distasteful a ticket us to warrant then
in making an aggressive campaigr
solely in the hope of showing strongtl
enough to bo the second party in rola
tlvo strength in Nebraska.
If thchu calculations are correct am
the prohibitionists hold their votes then
nro about 15,000 votes not classified it
the nbovo paragraph. A large mnjoritj
of these are alliance republicans wh <
will vote for a good republican .rathoi
than the independent ignoramus win
aspires to a supreme judgeshlp. In
eluded In these 15,000 votes are those o
several hundred honest democrats , whc
will prefer a competent republican lawyer
yor to an incompetent independent ofllci
booker who claims to bo a lawyer.
It will bo observed that while the re
publicans have a plurality of probably
5,000 votes on the straight tickets thi
uncertain element is sulliciontly stroiif.
to wipe out that plurality In favor of thi
independent nominee if they shall bo s <
inclined. They will bo so inclined if i
shall become apparent in the orgnnlza
tion of tomorrow's convention , in tin
platform it adopts , the ticket it noinl
nates and the , central committee i
creates that the railroads have domin
ated in its deliberations and dictatoi
its course.
Ilimco it is especially necessary in the
present condition ot public sentiment
in view of the relative strength of th (
parties to make no blunders. The con
vention must organize without holj
from corporate monopolies and nomi
nnto a candidate for justice of the supreme
premo court whoso record as a judge is
the best answer to any charges of un
fairness or corporation influence. The
two regents of the university must be
not only reputable , cultured nnd well
known , but have a personal strength in
the communities whore they are known
which will help the entire ticket. Thi
convention must adopt a platform among
other things distinctly serving notice
upon the railroad bosses and corporator
tools that their hands must bo kept
olT the elections , local and general
and that the > must cease their efforts tc
control our courts and legiblatures.
Finally when the state central committee -
too is created the hr.nd of the peopli
must bo clearly shown to prevent 11113
Intimations of corrupt deals with rail
roads and to make sure of an honest and
nsgressivo campaign. If the conven
tion apprehends Us duties and performs
thorn the November election will bo n
triumph for republicanism and good
Cfovornmont Which will mark an epoch
In the political history of Nebraska.

There is manifestly a strong fooling
3f anxiety in British manufacturing cit-
j'.os ' regarding the future nltoct of our
; nrltT law upon trade with the United
States , and already curtain industries
invo experienced n material loss of basi
nets. Recent dispatches have reported
, his to bo especially marked in the
voolon and cotton industries , especially
n the former. Thu American demander
or woolen goods of English manufacture
ins so largely fallen olT as to have greatly
trlpplod that industry , and while the
: otton manufacturers have not , felt the
ilTeots of our taritt so severely they ox-
iress apprehension that their trade will
ooii be limited wholly to the liner
nukes , and that ultlmatoly oven this
nay bo cufolT by the manufacture In the
lulled States of the bolter grades of
iotton. At the snmo 111110"those England
nanufacturocs expect that under the
'partition ' of reciprocity they will
ese ti considerable part of their
rado with South American conn-
rios , wh'ch will bu taken by the
nanufocturors of the United Stales.
L'ho gravity of the situation may bo up-
ireclatod from the statement that the
Ungllsh manufacturers are looking
, lx > ut for now markets In India and
Africa. It Is also reported tlmt a move-
uont has been started to form a league
irhoso objects will bo the encourage-
nent of British Industries , the p rot on
ion ot British labor , and generally to
.salst . in the maintenance and develop-
nent of British trade and commorcn
n every quarter of the globo. The promoters
meters of this movement state tlmt they
ntoud to luiprods Upon the British pub
lic , by mcyins of loeturtm , domonstn
tlotis , dlattllnitlon of literature , nn
various other methods , the necessity c
consuming ns far as possible the pr <
ducts ot British Industry in proforonc
to the goods of foreign origin. Thl
scheme , if carried into effect , coul
hardly amount to much In helping" th
British manufacturers who lese thol
American trade , for it is presume
that English consumers now use vor
little tlmt IB manutncturcd outside c
England , but the movement Is intorosl
Ing , as evidence of the solicitude thr
has taken possession of the Englls
manufacturers nnd industrial classes re
gardlng the possible effects of th
American tariff. The approhonslon I
probably exaggerated , but .there can b
no doubt that It exists , and nssociatoi
with it is a somewhat hostile and bltto
fooling that is neither reasonable no
just.The
The only people In this country wh
will sympathize with the English manii
facturors In their trouble are the dome
crats. All others will understand thn
the trade which those manufacturer
lose hero will go in the hands of Amot
ican manufacturers , requiring the In
vestment of additional capital and th
employment of moro labor , -mid the ;
will have no fault to find will
such a result. It is dcslrabl
that wo shall manufacture moro am
bettor woolen and cotton goods in thl
country , and no patriotic man -will tint
fault with a policy that will bring thi
about. Nor is there any reason to fca
that wo shall sell less of our naturn
products to EnglanB by reason of such i
result. That country takes from us wlm
It needs nnd no more , just as every otho
European country docs , and not
withstanding the democratic thoor ;
to the contrary , wo should no
materially augment our commerce ir
the products that any European countr ;
buys of us by opening our markets to tin
unrestricted entrance of their products
Such a policy would very seriously crip
pin our own industries and impair thi
value of the homo market without bring
Ing an adequate return in an incroasot
demand for the surplus products of agri
culture. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The mooting of tlio manufacturers was
largo and representative. It brought
together nearly every manufacturing
firm in the oily. Others interested in
building up homo industry wore also ir
attendance , and a great do.il of enthusi
asm prevailed. The people gathered together
gothor are a unit upon the nviin propo
sition , but as might bo expected there
are differences as to the details of the
organization. A good committee IUVE
boon appointed , however , to formulate n
plan of operations , and THE BKE Is con
fident they will work out an association
which shall bo compact , harmonious ,
flexible Mid potential. In view of the
fact that THK BEK has conducted the
comcaign for homo industries during
the iast six weeks without the aid of
any contemporary and may justly lay
claim to the ho'nor of having awakened
the interest which now promises so
much good to the business interests of
Omaha , a few suggestions will probably
bo received by the proposed association
in the spirit in which they are offered.
The association must not bo largo
enough to bo unwieldy , A bodv small
in numbers with interests in : oininon
san perform bettor service than ono in
which too many diverging interests are
represented. In numbers there is
strength , provided harmony controls the
numbers , but they are a great source ol
weakness if broken by factions.
The active members of the association
should bo actual Omaha manufacturers.
The jobbers have or should have tholt
own union. The retail merchants have
m organization. The general interests
af the community are now well provided
tor in tho'Board of Trade and the Real
Estate Owners' association. The real
estate agents hnvo an exchange. The
: iow association should not attempt too
much lest it interfere with and hinder
the good work properly in the hands of
jthor well managed organizations.
In order that those who believe in
patronizing homo industry may bo-
jomo identified with the present
novomont a system of honorary
nomberships might bo provided which
.vould . give the association proper tlio
Benefit of the counsel of other business
lion , but its working force and
jackbono must bo the manufac-
urors themselves. If any attempt
jo made to include others there
s danger not alone of antagonizing the
, wo excellent organizations already at
vork , but of overloading the now ono
vitli undesirable and unsympathetic
nombers who can and possibly may later
ind it to their Interest to break Its in
fluence.
THK BEE thinks the organization nt
ho outset should bo composed solely of
Inns actually manufacturing goods in
) mnha and its suburbs on this side of
ho river. When it Is fairly In working
> rder and has established .its line of
lolicy , and has elected a secretary who
las proved to bo the right man In the
iglit place , if it should them seem desir-
ble , Council Bluffs and the state of No-
iraska may bo asked to participate and
mended articles of Incorporation and a
lodillod constitution can b j adopted.
This plan can give no possible offense
0 anybody. If the doors are thrown
Mtlo open representatives of eastern
nctorios will be admitted and , they
rill use tholr membership in the < ex-
hnngo to combat the principles which
re oxpootod to bo applied solely In
onolltlng and encouraging local in-
usti-ios.
THE BEK offers those suggestions with
omo degree ot delicacy , recognizing as
. docs the divergence ot opinions among
; H friends in the proposed organization ,
'ho now association can bo a power if it
) organized on the right plau , It will
o , a dead failure If mistakes are made
1 the composition of its membership ,
'be line must bo drawn somewhere , nnd
3 our mind it should bo an close cor *
oration of actual manufacturer * at the
utaot.

Besting throughout the western states It
qucitlon often asked before why corn , tl
clioapost nnd most nutritious of the grain
should not bo sent largely to the Kuropoo

The answer 1s easy to give. The poor <
classes of Europe won't oat corn in any fern
They do not hko corn moat In porridge <
bread , and they detest hominy. Immigrant
to this country do not tnko Ulnilly to It , Tt
quantity sold In thi * city , where there ai
moro than half a million poor people of fo
clgn birth or descent , Is trilling compare
with that of wheat Hour.
Why ! Well , ono reason Is that very fo\
people , oven In the United Stiitos , know hoi
to inalco corn broad tlmt tastes good. Cot
bread does not "keep" well , It ought to I
eaten whllo hot from the ovou , which meat :

Besides , ttio poorer classes of Europe at

matter of heredity with millions of them teat t

Just as it Is an inborn habit hero for tb

observes that the Burlington "never miike
an agreement which keeps It out of torrltor ,
promising as large trafllo as Montana , and I
will po on building In splto o
the grimaces of its rivals. " It wll
bo berne In mind that during th
past three months the Now Yor
Times has made several bitter attacks o
this branch ot the Burlington as hnvin
been constructed into profitless torrltorj
Tbo trutn Is that it runs through a very rlc
section of Wyoming , nnd ono that will b
very productive when developed. Th
extension would add largely to Its value am
render It nt once ono of the most importtin
and profitable ol the Burlington's brunches
The Times' attacks may have boon promptci
by a doslroto boar Burlington stocks , o
they may have been instigated by a wish t
prevent on extension Into what Is now Unloi
Pacific nnd Northern Pacific territory.
