In n memorable political contest Gen
eral Garflold uttered this admonition :
"Tho light must not bo abandoned until
it its won.1' The ndvico Is as good now
as It was then , nnd should bo heeded by
republicans everywhere. The party In
Nebraska must keep up the light , and It
has every encouragement to do
so. Its candidate Is gaining in
strength every day. The despic
able effort to Injure him by a charge
every vital feature of which has boon
shown to bo false has utterly failed , and
the drift of intelligent and unprejudiced
popular sentiment , regardless of party ,
Is steadily nnd strongly in his favor.
Democrats and independents , who have
some concern for the character and in
tegrity of the supreme court , are
coming to the support of Judge
Post. The question of good gov
ernment , at the foundation of which Is a
wise nnd honest interpretation of the
lawn , has taken a firm hold upon the
minds of thoughtful men of all parties ,
and none who consider It can doubt that
the security for good government is In
the election of the republican candidate
for the supreme bonch. The closest po
litical observers bellovo that Judge
Post's election Is assured , but never
theless the fight must bo kept
up until it is won. Tlio larger the ma
jority ho receives the bettor for tlio
credit and welfare of the stato.
Tlio republicans of Iowa will also bo
wise to heed the admonition of Garliold.
They have been making a vigorous fight ,
and it Is not surprising that some of the
loaders are reported to bo worn
out by the arduous work that
has boon demanded of them , but
If theto are any who cannot keep
the field until the battle is ended others
should bo found to take their places. It
is far more important in the closing
days of a campaign than at the opening
that a party should put forth its greatest
efforts , and the party thai relaxes at the
last betrays a sense of weakness which is
apt to loao it more than it had
gained. There is nothing discour
aging in the Iowa outlook for
tlio republicans. On the con
trary there is good reason to believe
they will bo victorious by n handsome
plurality. The most trustworthy opin
ion is that , as the result of the campaign
thus far , their gains have boon very
much larger than their losses. But none
the loss , it is important and necessary
that they keep up the light until it is
won.

The advices from Washington lonvo
no doubt that the government is very
much in earnest in demanding repara
tion of Chili for the outrages upon
American sailors. It seems that the ad
ministration very pi-ooerly regards the
matter as rather more serious than
would have boon an assault upon citi
zens of the United States not
in the service of the govern
ment. The feeling is , if correctly
represented , that the outrage at Valparaiso
raise , in which two American seamen
have lost their lives , was as gross an
insult to the government of the United
States as would have been an attack
upon the flag of the United States. It is
also felt that the arrest and detention of
the survivors of the outrage was as gross
a violation of the rights and dignity of
the United States as would have been tlio
arrest and detention ol its diplomatic
representative ut Santiago under like
circumstances. Such being the view of
the administration , it of course declines
to give any consideration to the palli
ating plea of the Chilian government
that the murderous occurrence wns
simply a street row , and therefore not
to bo sorioiibly considered as an interna
tional issue. Another aggravating cir
cumstance is the fact that the Chilian
authorities have taken no stops to ap
prehend and punish the perpetrators of
the outrage.
Although there is unquestionably a
deep dislike of Americans in Chili ,
which is doubtless shared by the junt-i ,
the best opinion is that the govern
ment will not provoUo a war with
the United States. It is heav
ily in debt and its resources
were severely strained by the Into revo
lution , be.sidos which the more intelli
gent and conservative men in power
must understand that a war with this
country could only eventuate in the most
disastrous conhcquoncos to Chili. The
expectation in Washington , there
fore , is that the Chilian govern
ment will promptly como to terms.
Meanwhile the movements o ! our
naval vessels show that the
government is determined to Lo prepared -
pared for any emergency. Thu Amor-
lean Hoot in Chilian waters will bo made
sulllolently stronfj to carry an inliuonce
which the presence of only two ships
cannot exert , and if nefos.sary there are
half a do/.on voasols that can bo sent to
Chill at ouco. It is plain that the ad
ministration intends there shall be no
more toleration of the arrogance and
the Indignities of the Chilian junta.
T1IK OMAHA. ( illAlft MAHKKT.
When St. Leuls started her open
Board of Trade more than 3,500 of her
cili/ons immediately subscribed for
trading memberships. Comparatively
few of those people actually utilized
tholr privileges or expected to bo di-
rootly benefited by them. They contri
buted the membership fee of $11)0 ) and
agrnod to pay annual duo * of S20 to on
courngo the enterprise. Trading mem
berships in the Omaha board cost but
S10 each , yet very few outsldo of the
grain men have boon taken Our poo-
pie do not appreciate the Importance of
the utulortaklng in which a few members -
bors of the Board of Trade are engaged.
They do not give thosu enterprising
gentlemen the moral or financial en
couragement they deserve and are hin
dering rather than helping the good
work of building up In Omaha , a homo
market for Nebraska grain.
The open hoard in the faceof almost
insurmountable difficulties Is moving
forward , and the beginning , though In
significant by comparison with the busl-
nncss inothor cities , has been made.
Kvorv day at 11 o'clock a call occurs and
every day sales urn elTcoted on the
open board. Prices are quoted for
Omaha , and people out In the state nro
basing calculations upon them. Tlio
fact Is , that the grain men of NobrasKu
and the grain producers who keep in
formed upon the progress of markets
are far more enthusiastic over Omaha's
otttlook than wo ourselves. They appre
ciate the value of a market nonr at hand ,
having enjoyed the practical benefitof
such facilities at South Omaha. It must
not bo forgotten either In this
connection that seven years ago the
prospect nt South Omaha for a. llvo
stock market wan no moro encouraging
than It is today in this city for n grain
market.
The advantage of making this a grain
traffic center can hardly bo overesti
mated. Wo shall market 100,000,000
bushels of corn , . ' (0,000,000 ( bushels of
wheat , 20,000,000 bushels of o.its and a
largo yield of barley , rye and fiat seed
this year. If the product of half or oven
ono-fourth the state could bo turned
through elevators at Omaha , or could
bo bought atid sold In Omaha , the
clearings of this city would swell to sur
prising proportions and the open Hoard
of Trade would become a foataro of our
commercial prosperity.
The business would all bo transacted
in Omaha proper. South Omaha is a
separate city with Its own b.inks and
distinct Interests. Warehouses , mills ,
malt houses , distilleries and all ether
Institutions for handling or consuming
grain would but add to the importance
of the local market and stimulate the
general business of this community. To
the outside dealers the advant-tgo of
quick returns is inestimable. Omaha
bankers especially and Omaha people
generally are derelict in their duty In
this matter. It is unfair to expect half
a do/.on wide awake grain dealers to
carry the responsibility alone. They
should have the hcarticstco-oporatlon of
every financial institution in Omaha.

John Groves Is capable and honest and his
experience with public affairs commends him
to the voters. iltl-llcnthl. .
This is a good voucher , but it will pot
pass current in this community. Mr.
Groves was put into the clerk's ollleo by
the council combine of 1800. That com
bine selected him , not because ho was
capable and honest , butbecaiiso ho would
do the bidding of the Tammany Twenty-
oightors and tlio contractors who were
behind the combine. His conduct as
cleVk has been satisfactory to his back
ers. It was chiolly because such men
as Groves have boon foisted upon
the city by council combines and
contractors that the charter was
amended by the last legislature so as to
take the election of the city clerk out of
the hands of the council and lot the people
ple elect him.
The city clerk's office is a very import
ant position. A man who is disposed to
play into the hands of contractors and
claimants am readily make up the jour
nals of the council to suit his friends.
IIo can lese or mislay important papers
or documents that would compromise
boodlors and help in various ways to
cover their tracks. Nobody contends
that Mr. Groves is not competent to fill
the place for which ho is a candidate ,
but his associations and the conduct of
the ollleo since ho lias had charge of it
do not recommend him as a trust
worthy man for the position.

The demand for a fair election nnd nn
honest count cannot bo disregarded by
Mayor Gushing and the democratic
council without justifying the suspicion
that they are parties to a plot to nullify
the will of the people at the coming
election. When the republican central
committee aslccd Mayor Cushing
to allow thorn to recommend' three
out of the seven election officers at each
polling place ho gave thorn to understand
that their request would receive im
partial consideration. When the com
mittees presented their lists Mayor
Cushing declines to appoint the parties
named , but insists upon filling the entire
election boards with his own partisans
and galvanized republicans who
are expected to coincide with them.
What does this moan ? Is tlio Austral
ian ballot law to bo made a farce by the
packing of election boards ?
What object can Mayor Cushing have
in rejecting most of the names submit
ted by the republic xns and substituting
therefor men who are discredited by the
committee ?
Is not the action of Mayor Gushing
likely to incite election trouble and
throw distrust upon the correctness of
the returns ?
AMU'llllli CRUSADE.
The liquor dealers of Omaha nro being
marshalled to the support of Henry Ost-
holT on the promise that just as soon as
ho becomes mayor the saloon doors are
to bo thrown wide open seven days and
seven nights in the week.
If the liquor dealers of this city imag
ine for a moment that , such u programme
can bo carried out they reckon without
tholr host. The first olToot of such do-
llant disregard of the law would bo to
arouse the resentment of all law-re-
spooling citizens' and Incite- another pro
hibition crusade.
But neither Ilonry OstholT nor any
ether man occupying the ollleo
of mayor will bo able to nullify the
high license law In any material partic
ular. The control and supervision of
the liquor tralllc is in the hands of the
police commission. The mayor has only
a casting vote in that commission ami
ho is utterly powerless to prevent the
strict enforcement of the law by the police -
lice so long as a majority of the commis
sion do not join with him. Nowsupposo
two of the commissioners should conspire -
spire withOsthotl to nullify the law , how
long would they bo allowed to hold
their places ? There would bo a petition
bovon miles long within forty-eight
hours demanding tholr removal by the
governor , nnd the governor would bo in
duty bound to luke ol ! tholr heads.
The liquor dealers of Omaha do not
seem to appreciate the situation , If
they mass tholr votes for OstholT they
will simply put u club In the hands of
fanatics and prohibition agitators
against high license and force upon us
another prohibition campaign.
Tun insolence of bomo paopla IB bound
less. Inquisition Strloklor , who made
himself so consplclous in thu prohibi
tion contest last year , declares that "us
independents must have either the of
fice of mayor or clerk of the district
court or wo will smash things all
round. " Itonlly , can't Frank Mooros'or

VOTKHS should ; discriminate very care
fully In the kiSlfectlon of councilman ,
members of ItiiJlpoard of Education and
justices of thofpdftco. Although gener
ally esteemed to bo positions of minor
consideration 'as "compared " with ether
municipal and'ejounty olllces , they are
really the most important of all to the
Individual voter as coming closest to his
personal interest in the administration
of public nlTalrs. Kvory voter should
make it his business to inquire into the
qualifications of the candidates for those
places and vote for the best men regard
less of politics nnd ward boundaries.
Tin : franchlsod corporations and the
political managers of the railroads are
very respectfully warned that they will
not bo handled with idd gloves If they
persist in tholr underhanded efforts to
foist Osthoff upon Omaha for mayor.
They cannot cover up tholr tracks by
pretending to work for Dr. Conkllng.
They know well enough that the light is
squarely between Bemis and OstholT and
they know that they have used Ostholl
in the council nnd can use him again.
Tin : tiidouendonts of Burt county ,
who wcro utterly Ignored in the inde
pendent judicial convention , have de
cided to throw their support to Judge
Hope well , who has lived in that county
for many yours. The democrats of Burt
nro also outspoken in favor of Judge
Hopowoll. It is stated by. all parly
leaders that Hopowoll will receive the
united and almost unanimous support
of all parties in his candidacy for ro-
olcction to the district bonch.

RIMRMIIIK : , workinginon , that al
though George P. Bemis , the republican
nominee for mayor , has sold over . " 00
lots in this city , mostly on easy pay
ments , ho has. never foreclosed a mort
gage. How many ether men of means

Cinra should bq compelled to apologize
of course for the maltreatment of our
sailors and reparation should bo made to

cans of this district , is u man with an
excellent record apd thoroughly reliable

HENRY OSTHOFF voted for the § 40,000
gas claim of January 14 , 1890. This has
not been forgotten by the people of
Omaha. It was among the first ollicial

No thinking man can consistently vote for
this iucapublo young upstart for that re
sponsible position when a man Mich as A. . M.
Post , who held the position of district judge
of his district for nine years Is his opponent.
We expect that brains vs wind and demagog-
is in should win.
Blair Pilot : The Edgorton campaign is in
the throes of despair and on the verge of n
grand collapse. From all over this broad
state comes the cheering intelligence that
democrats and independents alike , by hun
dreds and by thousands , nro opanly declar
ing that they cannot and will not old In
elevating a shyster lawyer and political
mountebank to a position on the supreme
bench of tbo stato. The sober worth , legal
superiority nnd moral integrity of Judge A.
M. Post in comparison with Edgorton carries
such conviction to the public as to the duty
of the hour , that by election day few will bo
found outsldo of the most radlc.il calamity
shriekors who will not support the incor
ruptible jucigo the honest man , rather than
the shyster attorney with a corrupt record.

A report was today received by the presi
dent which will attract attention every
where. It Is from the commission appointed
by the president eighteen months ngo , com
posed of well known engineers nnd oloo-
trlclam to In vcstlgato the subject of subways
in Washington und municipal ownership of
certain enterprises. The report was largely
m-oparod by Mr. Andrew Uosowator of
Omaha and presents prob'ibly the llrst ixblo
nnd earnest argument over made In this
country lu favor of municipal ownership of
street railways. It cites Paris and ether for
eign cMe < \ to show that street railroads maybe
bo owned and operated through leases bv citlos
so as to make largo revenue * and nt the snmo
tlmo proVo in every way , greatly to the ad
vantage of the people. Klectrio light , gas
nnd waterworks , the commission declares ,
should In every Initmico bo owned by the
cities. The commission takes tl > aunquaUllcd
ground that municipalities should own and
control overythlng that occupies streets nhovo
or below the surface , It gives n uogatlvo to
the argument of the telogimph compnnios that
It Impairs the operation of telegraph wires
to place thom under ciouml , producing the
statement of electricians from London
nnd elsewhere to show that tele-
gniph wires , mnnv times of greater
longtli underground than would bo necessary
here , are not in the least Impaired by being
placed under ground. It recommends tlio
immediate adoption of the underground cable
system for telegraph nnd telephone wires
and says It Is n humiliating spectacle to see a
telegraph comimny defy thu dlicctlon of the
United States government by refusing to put
its wires under ground. The report H able
nnd exhaustive. It will bo sent to congress
by the president and printed for public use
nnd will bo of great Interest In largo cities.

Again the nlr about Washington has been
filled with rumors tunt Stephen H. Elklns Is
to become secretary of war. This report wns
llrst published when It was rumored that
Secretary Proctor was to go Into the scnaio
and it has again been revived from time to
time during the past four or llvo months.
The fact that Mr. Elkins has boon in Wnsh-
Inirlon during the last twenty-four hours has
boon ample foundation for the revival of Ins
reported preferment. It may ho that Presi
dent Harrison will conclude to tonOortho war
portfolio to Mr. Elidns , but | lp to
this evening ho surely has .not in
timated to any ono that ho Intended
to do so IIo bus not even tulkod to any mem
ber of the cabinet about the selection of Mr.
Kllcin * . nnd if ho really Intends to olTer the
place to a West Virginian ho has kept the
secret well within himself , and not oven his
most Intimate political or personal friends
who have journeyed hoio In the interest of
Mr. Elkins , have boon given the intimation
that ho is to bo mndo secretary of war. Quito
n number of prominent republicans , among
them it is said Mr. Carnegie , Mr. Proctor ,
Senator Edmunds and General Sowell , have
urged the appointment of Mr. Elkins , and
it may bo that ho has been , with
ether men , taken Into the consideration of
the piesidont , but thcro appears to bo no
more foundation at this tlmo for the an
nouncement that Mr. Elkins is to bo mndo
secretary of war than there is for such a
statement Involving the name of anyone of
the Imlf-do/en men who have been named in
connection with the placo.
