OSTIIUFTS CANDIDACY.
V'hon the name of Jloltry OstholT wni
first brought out as n probable candldato
for mayor everybody treated It as n
joke. The Idou of u man of Oatholl's
build and mental caltbro aspiring to bo
the chief executive of 11 city of 1-10,000
population was too preposterous to bo
seriously thought of. It reminded one of
Hanoho I'nnzoas governor of an island.
It was an Insult to the intolllgonco of
self-respecting citizens to consider the
nomination of such a mm n possibility.
Hut Mr. OstholTlH In dead earnest and
ho hits the conceit to Imagine that the
work of the gang of boodllng contractors
who packed the democratic convention ,
will bo ratified at the polls.
Some people who ordinarily favor good
government have actually endorsed
OstholT as n clean , honest and capable
nmn. when the reverse is true. IIo is
not a clean man , neither by application
of soap and water nor by his conduct as
a I'itixcn and councilman. IIo may bo
honest In his business transactions ,
but ho has been anything but
honest in the only position to
which ho has over boon elevated.
IIo has no more capacity for the duties
of the mayor's olllco than he has for act
ing as the spokesman for Omaha in re
ceiving the city's guests and visitors
from abroad. The man can neither talk
German correctly nor English even pass
ably. To use plain English , ho Is a low
bred ward politician , ignorant of the
fact that ho is ignorant , and wanting in
every qualification that is required and
expected of the chief executive of the
city. It is a disgrace to Omniui to entertain -
tortain the candidacy of such a person.
It is a sad commentary upon the degenerate -
orate and dobasBd condition of our po
litical system when men of Osthoff's
stamp are sought to bo foisted by any
party or paper upon the most progressive
city this side of the lakes.
Aiiv fosrnti ox FRKK COINAGK.
The greatest value of tlio utterances
of tlio secretary of the treasury against
tlio free coinage of silver is in the ro-
nowcd assurance It convoys that the ad
ministration is sound all through on this
question , The position of President
Harrison has never boon in doubt. IIo
luiB taken every proper opportunity to
lat the country know that while
favoring a bimetallic currency
lie is uncomproinifainirly opposed to a
policy which would debase the currency
and establish the single silver standard.
Ills declaration that every dollar issued
by the government , whether papar or
coin , should bo aa good as every ether
dollar , has become the financial shibbo
leth of the i-bpubllcan party. The pres
ident will firmly adhere to this
principle , and it is well that
the country should know that
the head of the financial depart
ment of the government is in full accord
with tlio chief executive , and that on
this very vital issue the administration
is a unit.
The arguments regarding free coinage -
ago have boon exhausted. There is
nothing new to bo said on the subjoct.
Secretary Poster has stated the case
against free coinage as strongly and
clearly iu > anybody , and shown that
ho has full grasp of all the facts
ud principles relating to the ques
tion. The dangers ho points out are
those that are apparent to every well-
informed man who can consider the sub
ject free from prejudice and self-interest ,
lie states an unquestionable truth when
he says that free coinage of sliver would
place the country on a silver basis , lluc-
tuating with the market price of silv3r
bullion. It is equally true that a silver
basis would exclude the $050,000,000 of
gold now in the country from u.so as
money , and that gold would largely go
abroad to pay for the silver that would
bo sent from foreign countries. How
great this drain upon our gold resources
would be may bo understood from the
statement of Secretary Poster that his
investigations had led him to bollovo
that there is in Europe more than $ UO- ( ) ,
000,000 of silver , to say noth
ing of the amount in Mexico
and South American countries , a
grout part of which would como
to the United States as soon as the
adoption of free and unlimited coinage
proclaimed to the nations that this government -
ornment was ready to take their silver.
The security of the country against
this policy is in the administration. It
Is a foregone conclusion that
the democratic house of repre
sentatives will pass a free coinage
bill. . No democratic leader pretends
tends that this will not bo done ,
and the small republican minority in
that body will bo powerless to prevent
it. The fate of such u measure in the
senate is bomewlmt uncertain , though
not without reason the free coinage ad
vocates express confidence that It would
pass that body. The country has boon
assured that it would encounter defeat
at the hands of the president , and the
utterance of the secretary of the treas
ury makes the assurance doubly sure.
run uiHtAitr noxos.
After mature reflection and careful
Investigation wo are convinced that the
proposition to issue 3100,000 of bonds for
the erection of a library building should
bo defeated. The proposition contem
plates the acceptance of the lot on thu
southeast corner of Nineteenth and
Hartley streets under the conditions of
the will of the late Byron Hood , which
roads as follows :
"I hereby give and davUo to my son Abrn-
ham U. UuoJ , trustuo , n lot of land ut the
southeast corner of Unrnoy and Nlnotooiith
stnwts , S3 5-10 foot front on Hnrnoy by 03 8-10
foot on Nineteenth street to bo by him con
voyed to the city of Onmhn , provided the
city shall erect tuoroon u IIrat clnss tiro-proof
building , covorins the whole of said lot , , to bo
at least four stories hlgnj building to bo commenced -
moncod wltuln ono year from tlia data of will
being probated ; to bo under roof within two
yours ; ns soon in building U oncloiod the
trustee Is to oxocuta land to olty , conditioned
that the promises nro always to bo used as u
public library and nrt gallery and for such
oihor purposes as may bo incidental or neces
sary tlioroto. "
These conditions nro in our opinion u
bar to the acceptance of the Rood bo-
quest. A flrst-elahs , four-story lire-
proof building , 83x03 , will cost a great
deal more than 8160,000. A four-story
public library ana museum is not doslr-
ablo. Tlio most perfect art galleries
and library buildings are not more than
two storius above the basement or foun
dation. These Btorlcfl are usually
from twenty to forty feet In height and
HO constructed as to nITord easy ascent
from the lower to the upper story. A
four-story building would require ele
vators nnd that means a. constant ex
pense for hydraulic orstonm power and
elevator service.
The city cannot afford to obligate
itself to cover the whole lot with the
four-story building , oven if such n build
ing was desirable.
Another fatal objection to the accept
ance of the homiest ia the lay of the
land. A ! lral > clnss fire-proof building
should rest upon a solid foundation.
The corner of Nineteenth nnd Harnoy
is filled ground. The foundation walls
would have to go down to the bottom of
the old crook bed or piles would have to
bo driven , nnd the walls have to rest
upon the piling. That moans an extra
expenditure of all the way from $10,000
to $25,000.
Another drawback is the fact that
there Is no alloy in the roar of the lot and
the building , besides being deprived of
light is liable to bo endangered , if not
disfigured , by the construction of n brick
barn or some ether fire trap on the ad
joining lot in the roar.
Our public buildings should bo on
high ground where they will appear to
advantage. The corner of Nineteenth
and Ilarney is in the bottom of the do-
nresslon south of Parntun , nnd the pro
posed building would scarcely bo visible
a hundred yards away.
If wo are to have a public library and
museum wo want n building that will bo
nn ornament to the city and visible from
every direction. The host location for
such a building would bo upon the
southeastcornorof Eighteenth and Doug
las. Thnt ground would do away with an
expensive foundation , Being hack-to-
back with the city hall the building can
bo heated from the boilers of the city
hall building. That means an annual
saving of fully $5,000 alone for fuel , fire
men and engineer. It could also bo
lighted from the city hall dynamo at n
trivial expense. If the whole lot is not
covered by the building , the city could
utilix.o the roar part of the lot for a
boiler and engine house that would sup
ply heat and light for both the city hall
and the library buildings and give tlio
city the use of its basement lor storage
purposes. Tlio lot wo refer to was of-
forcd to the city some years ago for
$ , ' 55,000 and can still bo had lor that
sum.
In view of all those facts it seems to us
that it would bo both unwise and un
profitable to vote the bonds fora library
building on the corner of Nineteenth
and Harnoy.
2'l'0 ! DtlSKIlVlKO OA.XUIDATKS.
Whatever may bo the result of the
elections in Now York and Ohio , the re
publican loaders in those states have
shown themselves eminently worthy of
tlio confidence reposed in thorn by their
party. The nomination of Mr. Ftissott
was referred to by ono of the most dis
tinguished republicans of the Em-
plro state as an inspiration , and
the campaign which the republi
can candidate for governor has con
ducted shows that no iriistako was jinado
in his selectionso far at least as his ability
and fighting qualities nro concerned. IIo
was ready for the conflict as soon as ho
was nominated and lost no time in open
ing it. While his opponent was in re
tirement , preparing himself for
the cimpaign , Fassott was ac
tively at wotk tolling the people
the record of democratic miarulo. and
exposing the rnp.icity and rascality of
Tammany. Ho showed himself splen
didly equipped for the task. His ex
tended service in the state senate had
given him thorough familiarity with
democratic policy and methods , and ho
possesses all the ability necessary to lay
them bare in a way to make the strong
est impression upon popular attention.
Mr , Pnbsett Is an indefatigable
campaigner , making two and throe
speeches a day , and ho is a forceful ,
brilliant and eloquent speaker , lie is
still n young man and whatever the out
come of his present candidacy it is snfo
to predict that ho will some day bo
prominent in national politics.
Major MeKlnloy was expected to make
a bravo nnd vigorous fight. It
is his nature to do so , and
ho had shown in his several
contests for congress , and particularly
in his last one , what ho was capable of
doing in a political battle that called
forliard and steady work. But ho has
in the pending campaign more than mot
the expectations of his friends and sup
porters. Ho must have delivered
since the camprign opened not
far from an hundred speeches ,
most thorn elaborate discussions of
the questions at Jssuo between
the parties in Ohio , and ho is
still hard at work and reported to bo as
fresh as at the beginning. Not a few of
his speeches have been masterpieces of
political controversy , and have again
demonstrated that in the discussion of
the tariff ho has no superior In the
country. Major MoKinloy has no
claim to distinction as an eloquent
speaker , though ho sometimes
says eloquent things. His addresses -
dresses are essentially practical , but his
arguments are presented in language so
vigorous and virile that they never become -
come tedious or unimpressive. Unques
tionably Major MoKlnloy has supplied
moro material for ether republican
speakers than any ether man in the
country. Even should ho bo defeated
for governor of Ohio , which now seems
most improbable" ; ho will con
tinue to bo' regarded us ono of the
foremost loaders of his party , whom it
could not nlTord to allow to long remain
out of public station.
It may bo portlnont to commend thu
example of these earnest and indefatiga
ble republican loaders to the attention
of those republicans in other states
whose inactivity Implies u want of
proper interest in the welfare of tholr
party , if not absolute indilToroneo to Its
success.
WANT of a quorum is likely to post
pone the boodle Investigation until after

four > ear.s ngo the least known n.ul most

lul results scam to huvo boon roaliicd. The
seminarists have lived In camp or in bar
racks as undisturbed ns if they had boon so
many nthcslsts. Their religion has boon re
spected , nnd their fnlth nnd morals ap
pear to bo ns sound as over. Souio go
bacic to bo ordained ; others take their old
places at St. Sulplco and elsewhere. It Is
hardly possible that they will not too all the
bettor priests from this brief cxporionco of
the world nnd of the life of mon of their own
generation. They will have learned many
lessons from the tolerance nnd respect that
they have received from companions who
neither knew anything nor cared anything
for the special studios In which good seminar
ists arc absorbed , and who did not agree In
the least with their religious opinions. They
can hardly fail to bo bettor patriots after
serving under the Hag , nnd perhaps also bet
ter republicans. And they will nave had the
great gain of n breath of fresh nir. This was
much necUod , lor the sludnuts in the French
seminaries are cribbed nnd confined on every
sldo by n sot of mlnuto rules and regulations
suoti ns uro quito unknown nnywhero else
in the world , save , perhaps , in some boarding
school for young ladies.

The movements of Russia In Asia have re
cently been of n character to mspiro grave
distrust. The completion of the Trans-
slberlan railway , the strengthening of the
fort nt Vlndivostock , an advance on Pamcer ,
and secret machinations it. Afghanistan ,
each point to a wall-defined commercial and
political policy in Asia which may well alarm
thu power that has sucn important interests
at stake on that continent. That Uussia has
long had designs on Corea is widely believed ,
and a virtual Russian protectorate over that
country has only boon averted by the vigilance -
lance nnd decision of Chinese ofllclals. In
1SS5 things ieemod to bo so favorable for
Russian ascendency in Coroa thatUreat Brit
ain took possession of Port Hamilton , an
island near the mouth of too Yellow Sea , and
converted it into n naval station. Port
Hamilton was afterward abandoned at the
request of China , although them were serious
doubts expressed by English statesmen as to
the wisdom of the surrender. Russia has become -
como mora aggressive since that time ; ami It
would need but n slight pretext for her , In
the event of trouble in China , to protect what
she claims to ho her interests by some bold
movement. Thus it Is that nations ! Jealousies
nnd political intrigues scorn to bo operating
townrd the continuance of outrages in China ,
which under other conditions would bo
quickly and effectively punished.

There are announcements from French po

n conciliatory pollov. But , however this

Franco Is no bettor reconciled over the loss of
Alsace-Lorraine today than on the day It

It was hers by possession for nearly 200
years , and fools that by language , religion ,
situation und long possession , It Is rightfully
hers , nnd the ropul'llo Is ns rondy to fight
for It , when circumstances favor , as
the successive monarchies wore watchful to
hold It ; nnd Germany , on thoothor hand , has
never forgotten how she loit It , nor will she
surrender It without u desperate atrugelo ,
Thti republic nf Franca Is steadily advanc

wealth Is becoming prodigious , her army

Imperialists are becoming tired of resisting
the now order of things , nnd that even Victor
Napoleon has expressed the utter homiloss-
