COLORADO republicans in convention assembled declare in favor of Omaha ns the place for holding the next repub lican national convention. When Colorado rado wants anything reasonable at the hands of Omaha and Nobratika all she needs to do to secure It is to indicate her wishes. Colorado republicans will ac cept the thanks of Omaha for the gener ous support of her ambition. TKD howls against the rail roads will not elect an ignonunous as chief jiibtlco of the supreme court. This Is no yellow dog campaign. When It comes to filling the highest judicial olllce in Nebraska the people will de mand a man of experience , legal attain ments and ability , and not an otllco- Booklng demagogue who has never had n case in the supreme court and has no Btandlng at the district bar. BOUUANGKII bna committed euloldo , thus bringing to n cowardly end a badly wrecked career marked by the mitltho- Bca of physical bravery and moral cow ardice. As a soldier the general was brilliant and bravo ; as a cabinet oftlcor and politician ho was weak ; us a loader of political thought a failure. As an ad venturer exiled from his country ho was a coward , Suicide at the grave of n mistress U the climax of French tragedy and Uoulunger'd end well titled his life. IIOULAXOKII'S WXOttLK KXD. A filicide's deaUi on the grave of his mistress. So ended the career of Gen eral Uoulnngor , but a few short years ago the ndmlred soldier In whom millions of Frenchmen reposed confi dence nnd hope , the lender of n vast following , the hero of the populace , whoso name was more frequently pro nounced throughout Europe than that of any other man In France , and whoso movements and as sumed designs were subjects of more discussion nnd anxiety than those of almost any other man on the European continent. Tills man , who so brief a time ago could call to his sup port half of his countrymen , now lies dead In a foreign land , and there are few so poor to do him reverence. There is matter in this for the moralist , and as well a losoon for those who need to learn that there is an ambition which o'erlcaps itself. The world had about forgotten Uoulangor , and oven with his own countrymen ho had fallen almost entirely out of consideration. A few loyal friends ho may still have had in Franco who believe that ho was a sin cere patriot who desired only the good of his country , but the number of such cannot bo largo. The vast majority of Frenchmen know him to have been a Hellish , unscrupulous schemer , who would not have hesitated to overthrow the institutions of his country in order to nt'.ain the power ho craved. There is nothing in the career of Boulangor to bo admired or commended. lie was essentially a charlatan. His record as a soldier pre sents nothing to show that ho had su perior military ability. lie was popular with the army , not because of anything he had done as a .soldier , but for the reason that ho had a way of impressing people with the idea that ho could do something if the opportunity was given him. It was this faculty that made him a leader and hero of the populace. Like all charlatans he was given to pompous display and loud pretension , which is very effective with the masses everywhere , and nowhere - where so much bo as in Franco. Culled to the head of the military department , as secretary of war , ho proved to bo totally Incompetent to perform the du ties of the position , but it gave him a chance to do some plotting in his own interest and the mihohief ho did was not easily remedied. Ho became insubordi nate as a soldier , dangerous as a citizen , and so recklessly did ho stop from ono to another position of menace to the peace and order of the nation that after his last overwhelming defeat at the hands of the people nothing re mained for him but to seek safety from an outrugcd public opinion in exile. From England ho made efforts to re gain the confidence of the French pco- plo , but they were futile. His true character had been PO fully disclosed that his countrymen , heartily ashamed of the support they had given him , would have nothing more to do with him. His weak and shal low manifestos wore derided and ridi culed , and with no other resources but the bounty of the mistress , herself an exile , on whose grave ho sent a bullet into his brain , Boulangor fell into merited obscurity. The manner of his taking off was cortainiy a pitiful ending ol a life that rightly directed might have been useful to his country , but as it was the world loses nothing for his having loft it. 7/OH' C.tKADA llKn.lliDS IT. While the democratic party is declar ing that reciprocity is a humbug , the Canadian government is manifesting uneasiness over the rapidity with which arrangements with the South American markets are increasing the demand for the merchandise of the United States. Tlio evidence of this is found in the utterance of the Cana dian journals. The loading Cana dian newspaper recently remarked , after showing the effect of the Brazilian treaty upon American exports , that if the same ratio of increase bo maintained the in crease for a year will bo nearly $0,000,000 , or nearly only one-half as much as the total value of all the exports from the United States to Brazil for the last fiscal year. This Canadian journal assumes that the relative ben efits will bo greater as each month - and concludes that the p-ibses , arrange- inonti entered into by the United States will put Canada out of the race alto gether. There can bo no question that this ECU- timont prevails generally in the Domin ion , and ono effect of it is seen in the more orncst dis position of the present premier of the Dominion to bring about reciprocity ar- raiiHomonts with the United States. The conference for this purpose is to be hold early in the present month , and all the Indications are that the Canadian government will go lo Washington , with nn oariost desire to enter upon negotiations with the purpose of effecting a satisfactory arrangement The prospect , however , of reaching a satisfactory understanding is far from favorable. The fact is that Canada is handicapped in this matter by her trade relations with the mother country , and so long as she is in that position there is little chance of her being able to offer any arrangement that will bo satisfactory to the United States. Never theless , our government will undoubt edly listen to all the propositions which the government of Canada will be prepared - pared to offer. Meanwhile It is interest ing to know that our northern neighbors nro realizing that the progress which the United States is making in extend ing Its trade with the southern countries Is disastrous to Canadian hopes In the same direction , because it is Important testimony In favor of reciprocity. .1 n'MlBUOUSK Sl'STKM. As has boon roputtodly remarked a grain market cannot bo opened with a corkscrew and created by nominal open board for dealing In grain. Wo must have warehouses for storing grain before warehouse receipts can figure in the dally transactions of our banks and other commercial institutions. Omaha cannot become a great grain mart so long as the extent of our grain opera tions consists in buying on the Chicago board through local agouts , and trans ferring carloads of grain from ono rail road to another through ono clovalor. Wo must ha vo flouring mil Is.malt houses , distilleries , cereal mills and similar ex tensive Institutions for the consumption of grain before there will bo any local demand for grain sufficient to dignify Omaha into a local grain market. While these are being developed , however - over , there Is no reason In the world which should deter capitalists from em barking in the enterprise of constructing nnd operating extensive warehouses , provided the railways are honest in their declaration that they will place every every elevator or grain ware house on precisely the same foot ing for handling grain profitably. There Is one grain firm In Omaha now doing an extensive business and Tin : Bin : Is informed other elevators aggregating - gating a capacity of 7oO,000 bushels would bo speedily erected if the rail roads , and especially the Union Pacific , will treat till alike. It is fair to presume that Tralllc Manager Mellon of the Union Pacific will guarantee fair trnat- mont and assist In building' up a ware house business hero. A warehouse system In Omaha is as entirely practicable as in Chicago. Grain intended for Baltimore , St. Louis , Duluth , Buffalo , Galvcston , Now Orleans or Pcoriu can as well bo stored in Omaha and marketed from Omaha as from Chicago under the sys tem of through billing which the rail ways are willing to and do make for this city. The B. & M. and Elkhorn roads can unquestionably bo brought into line for Omaha in the grain business just aa they came up to the requirements of the stock market , if wo provide .tlio facili ties hero for doing business as the facil- ties have been provided at South Omaha. The bank clearances , the general commercial prosperity and the importance of Omaha as a distributing center can all be en hanced by devoting attention to this subject of n grain market. The bankers of this city are perhaps moro deeply in terested In the development of n ware house system hero than any other class of our citizens. Tun 13KK suggests that the bankers join hands with the Board of Trade , the real estate owners and the grain dealers and work out this , problem without delay. It is not diffi cult of solution if once thoroughly ap prehended and given the candid , careful attention of our best business men. KKl.l' Ul' 111V IXTKllKKT. Omaha manufacturers tire largely to blame for tlio indifference which has hitherto existed among Omaha people with regard to Omaha goods. They have not pushed their manufactures in to public attention ; they have not suc cessfully persuaded retail dealers to as sist them ana they have neglected their business in other particulars. They all understand and appreciate these facts now that TUB BEE has pointed out the truth that Omaha people are more than will ing to give Omaha goods the pref erence. They cannot rest , howeveron what the newspapers do or stand back and de pend upon individual effort for the good results they have a right to anticipate. The iron is now hot. The now organiza tion is on its foot. Every manufacturer must take hold with every other manu facturer and all working ( "Aether take advantage of the opportunity never before presented of making a grand forward movement all along the line in favor of Omaha , Omaha goods and Omaha factories. The only way to make the results com mensurate with tire opportunity is for every than engaged in manufacturing in Omaha to step into the ranks of the now association and give it the benefit of his moral support and financial co-operation. There must bo no lagging , no oo/.ing out of enthusiasm , no neglect of duty. The good work has reached the point whore whatever else is accomplished must como from a union of effort , an aggros- she taking hold of opportunity and a long , strong' push for Oimvlmj Omaha , people and Omaha industries. Every manufacturer has an individual duty to perform which ho will neglect to his own disadvantage anil to the disadvan tage of this community. Lot every man ufacturer in Omaha join the association now. COLONIL : C. R. SCOTT secured the endorsement of the Colorado republican state convention for Omaha as a candidate for the honor of entertaining the republican national convention. This bnmo energetic gentleman headed the Omaha delegation to the Iowa state convention which secured that state also for Omaha. Moreover , it was ho who presented our claims to the national executive committee in Washington with such skill as to awaken an interest nnd sot the easto'rn press lo discussing Omaha as the only rival of Chicago in the contest for the national convention. In season and out of season Colonel Scott has worked for Omaha. Ho has cheerfully devoted his time to the enter prise and to his energy , intelligence , acquaintance and ability this city largely owes the prominence which Omaha has attained in her candidacy. Tun BIB : for itself and on behalf of till citizens who have had this great enterprise at heart thus publicly thanks Colonel Scott for his loyal , porslstont , effective worlc and wishes also on behalf of itself and all concerned that Omaha had a trainload - load of magnetic gentlemen like him with whom to move upon the committee at lib coming meeting for the final set tlement of the question. SKCTION iS ) , chapter II ) , Revised Stat utes , 18S1) ) , roads as follows : "No person shall be eligible to the otllco of district judge in any of said districts unless ho is also eligible to the office of supreme judge , " The democratic convention probably lost sight of thlr ) section of the law when It honored the boy lawyer from Sarpy county with a nomination for dis trict judge , A supreme judge must bo at least thirty years of age. T. J. MAIIONKY is the county attor ney and If any action is brought for the recovery of money alleged to have boon Illegally expended by the county com- missionary It will bo his duty to prose cute such action. In view of this fact Mr. Muhouoy'd letter in defense of the county commissioners is hardly In good taste no mattdr what personal rela tions ho may sultnhi to members of the board. It wouljljnlvo boon far bettor to have permitted" some other citizen to make the novtspapor defense of the board if any woi'o doomed necessary. JUDOI : M. R. IIoi'KWUMi is too strong a man in this district to bo sidetracked for either of the Sarpy county boys who asplro to the dignity of judgcships. Judge IIopowoll lm.s earned an unani mous nomination at the hands of the re publicans of this district , and a reelection tion from the people by his upright character - actor , his legal attainments and his suc cessful experience on the district bench during the past live years. UNION PACIIMO DIUKCTOU PADDOCK got homo from the Now York meeting of the government directors in time to represent Douglas precinct in company with Henry Huscr of Uuser's park In the district judicial convention. Ho presided over its deliberations with proper dignity , although the assembled untorrified declined to take his advice to make non-partisan nominations. TUB democratic district judicial con vention was not aware that Hurt and Washington counties are in the Fourth judicial district. It therefore ignored the north end of the district entirely , although in making its partisan nomi nations if. wont outside the ranks of the democratic party for one candidate. CIIAKMK SQUIKKS has wasted a great deal of time Aver his old street sweeping claim. It would have been cheaper in the long run to have appealed to the courts at the outset of the controversy always provided the claim is legitimate. . TUB Bun sees no especial objection to the appropriation by the commissioners of 91,500 for the state advertising train. It will not bo a bad investment for Douglas county. TUB city government was extensively ropreaontod in the democratic judicial convention.

Minneapolis Tribune : The republican stnto convention dfNoorasku formally en dorsed Omaha's elillW to the national conven tion In ll-s platform- Omaha Is thu largest town in Nebraska und is entitled to this llttlo compliment from u'itato convention. Un fortunately Omaba''st'domatid3 ' ' havu not mot with that recognition beyond , tlio borders of Its own state noccdsary lo the full fruition of its fond hopes. Denver Sun : ThbTopublicans of Colorado naturally deslro thnt lho next presidential convention of their party sball DO brought as fur west as possible. They can scarcely hope tosecure It for Denver , the only city of the Rocky mountain region , par- hups , that could under any circumstances make claim to It with appreciable chance of success. Hut this city has no suitable hull for so largo n gathering. And It is , anyhow , too Into to bogiti an effort in her behalf. Therefore , the oost Colorado can do thU tlmo Is to second the effort begun some Hum ago In behalf of Omaha. Uy coming to that city the eastern delegates would trot some Idea of how much country thuro Is west of Chicago. They might u can fro some concep tion of how great a section Is the now und fur wont. And these tilings would bo of some bonctlt to all of us who live beyond the Mississippi. Laramln Uc-i.ubllcan : Among tlio resolu tions adopted by the Nebraska republican stnto convention was ono doii'atdug : ! that the national convention of the party bo held In Omaha. A similar demand win previously made by the Iowa republicans , and it U safe to say tnal If the party la Wyoming were to moot In convention this your a third would bo heard from to the snino effect. * * * The benefited entire west would bo by the holding of the national convention at Omnhn , Lending nml rcnrexontatlvo men from nil parts of the oust would bo brought to sco for thamsclvcs how great and how rich this section of the country Is. And nil the west needs to hasten Its development Is a personal Inspection of Its resources and possibilities by men of means , Wyoming hopes for her own sake ns nvll as that of Omnhn , that the plucity Nebraska metropolis will get theprlzo she Is working so hard to secure. Denver Sun ( rep ) : The republicans of Nebraska serin to have mndo n very excel lent and Judicious nomination for supreme Jadgo and to have ovcry chaaco of success In the coming election. Kansas City Times ( dem ) : It wn * unfor tunate for Nebraska republicans that they committed themselves to free silver before Wall street announced the party policy on that question. It hns mndo their flop this year appear both ludicrous and cringing. I'hUiidclphtn Record ( dem. ) : At the men tion of the nnmo or Iflnitio at Inn Nebraska republican state convention on Thursday "n secret cord from the rear was touched rnd the portrait of the grant exponent of reci procity dropped In sight. 1'ho otTcct was magical. " Them has been n suspicion all along that secret cords from the rear were uolng pulled for Blaluo. 1 ho magical effect In Nebraska has now changed this suspicion to certainty. Snn Francisco Examiner ( dom. ) : The Nebraska republicans have followed these of Pennsylvania and Now York In pretending that the present bullion storaco law provides for the ctitlro product of the American silver inlnos , but the criticisms of that audacious fabrication have evidently had some etfect. The romance Is loss boldly put In the Ne braska platform than In the others. Perhaps If thu llirht Is kept on long enough wo may line : a convention that will toll the truth on Uio subject , or nt least say nothing about It. Lnrnmio Republican : The republicans of Nebraska did some good work In state con vention. Neither the momlncos nor the declaration of principles could bo improved upon to conserve tlio party's Interests. The former are men of uxcentlonnl ability and I'hnrnctor , and the latter Is the -strongest structure over adopted In the stnto. * * Not the least judicious act of the convention was its election of Dr. Mercer of Omaha ns chairman of the stnto committee. The doctor was defeated for the gubernatorial nomina tion last year , and his selection to manage this year's campaign docs much to npponso the pnrty discontent created in Douglas county by his rejection. Ho is n man of un usual executive ability , and respected by the party throughout the stnto. Anaconda ( Mont. ) Standard ( dem ) : No- brasita republicans commended Harrison for tlio policy of his administration In the treat ment of American pork , and ihon thov went wild over the mention of the nnmo of Hlaino. The temporary chairman of the convention sailed the rhetorical seas In great shape with the Blame craft In tow. H.ild ho , "tho next president of the United States will be the gallant captain of the ship of stnto , the skill ful navigator , the fearless leadnr , the nrlght , brilliant , matchless Elaine. " This little rot- erenco was evidently a put-up job , for , as soon as the words were uttered , a portrait of Blaluo dropped In sight ; the effect was mag ical , and the delegates took to cheering. If lusty shouts on a convention lloor could elect n man , Blalno would have been president of the United btatcs when some of the people who will bo voters in Ib'J-J ' were knicker bockers. Boston Advertiser ( rep. ) : The republicans of the country have every reason to bo proud of the silver plank adopted by the Nebraska republicans. Considering the emphatic demand mndo by nearly every democratic state convention for free silver , it was tohnvo been expected that the few trco coinage "republican" congressmen who acted as democratic allies in the lust congress should have hoped to sectiro from the Nebraska convention some indorsement of their peculiar tactics. It is certain that at ono time these alleged republicans who voted for the silver bill expected some indorsement at the hands of their constituent ! ) , but in that they have been emnhnticallv disapiiointed. The reso lution of the Nebraska republicans is a direct und straightforward , repudiation of any unsound coinage thooiics , such as the frco coinage of silver. Tuo words of the silver plnnk are unmlstalcnblo nnd well worthy of notice in contrast to the attitude of the democratic party on the silver ques tion.
