TIIK Bui : Bureau of Clnlins nt Wash ington continues to grow in importance nnd in usofulnehs na well us favor with chunmnta. CHICAGO atmrchists arc again inciting riot and bloodshed and the Chicago authorities may again bo compelled to mote out summary justice to the agita tors of mob violence. Tun wh'rligig of time works great changes. Last spring Major Paddock was a rantnnkorous independent. Now ho is a good , old , rocic-ribbcd democrat , willing to draw Iwo salaries and hold two odious. CATTAIN CIIOWDKU announces that the Indian recruits in the army are rapidly adapting themselves to military habits. They hnvo already learned to play pool for drinks at the canteen bar and they order their toddy with all the swagger nnd confidence of veterans. WIM.IAM TiwAKT GLADSTONE has not joined the alliance , but in view of recent elections In this country has thrown them a crumb of comfort from yonder side of the Atlantic. Ho considers it necessary to liberal success in parliament to have u strong representation of farmers. THOSK Gage county supervisors who appointed Mrs. Frank II. Ilolt clerk of tlio district court to succeed her husband - band , who died immediately after his election , wore gallant and honorable. They paid the memory of a dond soldier a substantial tribute and at the same time honored a competent lady. Mil. GANNON'S address to the friends of Iroiand in America is a strong , tem perate and effective appeal for organiza tion and harmony in Irish-American ranks. It is in far bettor taste than some of the political speeches of the president of the Irish Land league , and every friend of Irish liberty will approve its tone and contents. Mr. Gannon is in or a at homo us a patriotic advocate for his native land than aa an olllce seeker , though ho has fine lighting qualities in the latter capacity. Tins appointment of Major J. W. Pad dock as county commissioner to 1111 the vacancy caused by the death of Commis sioner C n-rigau in itself is satisfactory. Tlio major is an old and respected clti- 7.on with property interests. But Major Paddock is also a government director of the Union Pacific railway and mint of course dovolo some time to the duties of that position , The county commis sioners are paid annual salaries and tire expected to devote their entire time to county business. If the major pro poses to continue to act as government director of the Union Paeille railway his appointment will prove a mist'iko. Be uhould reslgnono place or the other. He uannot serve two masters with credit to himself or advantage to the county. TIIK retirement of Secretary Proctor from the War department will bo espec ially regretted by the army , in which ho has been instrumental in introducing Boino excellent rotprms. His services as secretary of war have boon valuable , but in no respect , perhaps , have they boon in so strong contrast to these of his democratic produces- tor us in the maintenance of harmony and good feeling. There was almost continual clashing between the head of the War department and the general of the army during tbo Cleveland administration , necessarily to the detriment of the .irmy , but there has boon nothing of this sort under tlio present administration. Tliu business nf the department has boon carried on With signal ability , and without the least friction in any quarter , and Secretary Proctor lias shown himself a zealous friend of the army. This ho can continue to bo in tlio senate , Which ho will enter on the llrst Monday in Docotnbo r ns the succesbor of one of the ablest men who has ever occupied a Boat lu that body , ox-Senator Kdmunds. There is every reason to expect that Senator Proctor will increase as a legislator later the good opinion which the coun try has formed of hlui us secretary of , w/.v i.v rot.irm * . Amonj the lessons which the Boston Atltfrtiitrr draws from the Into elections , ono iri that the day of the mod loom man in politics hns aboutgono by. Availa bility rising out of second-rate capacity , observes that Journal , can no longer bo thrust forward an valuable In a , political campaign , and while It expects the re publican party will oxerclco greater t'nro generally in choosing Its candidates than the democracy , It boltovoa that In both parties moro mediocrity will no longer bo hunted for by party man agers. The Massachusetts republicans undoubtedly erred In this rospcot and the defeat of their onndi'dato for gov ernor w.ts the ponnlty. The democrats of Pennsylvania elected a governor last year because of a like mislako on Iho part of the republicans , together with the fact that the candidate was the creature of a widely dis trusted boss. The defeat of the ro- puuliimn candidate in Now York was largely duo to the popular feeling that ho was in the hands of another whoso political methods the people have no confidence In. Hero in Nebraska medi ocrity , if that cmtdiflcution bo not too good , was exemplified in the candidate of the independent party for the supreme premo bench. Incapable men still get into pub lic olllco by the popular suffrage - frago and it is expected will contlnuo to do so , but wo are glad to bo- llovo with our Boston contemporary that political managers are beginning to un derstand more clearly than over before 1 hat success depends very largely upon the cnnraotor of candidates , and that howovcr excellent the promises of a party may bo if worthy men are not se lected to carry them out the people will repudiate it. It is certainly desirable that this feeling shall grow until every political party shall fully understand that good men are as essential as good principles , and that voters are warranted in doubting the sincerity of the latter when these selected to carry them out are unworthy of the respect and conli- donco ol the people. The great need of the country , particularly in state and municipal governments , is men of high capacity nml integrity , who will not stoop to the scurvy tricks and expedients of politics or permit the people to bo plun dered. VAHTKll IIAItlllSOfi'ti TASK. In assuming editorial charge of the Chicago Times Carter Harrison promul gates the now policy of that pauor in the following torso , matter-of-fact salutatory : The Times will always advocate democratic principles because best for the people , but will never bo a slave to party to uphold the wrong. It will bu no man's organ , and will have no pot theories to promulgate. It has no enemies to punish , no hobbies to ride , und will have nb axes to grind , but will bo a newspaper in the broadest sense of the word , studiously avoiding sensational scandals , ana both iu its road in ir matter and advertise ments will exclude everything which can shock the modest or violate the sanctity of the fireside. It will not'invade the privacy of the homo nor besmirch private character , either to gratify personal resentment or for the purpose of selling its issues. It will favor public and private morality and con demn every form of indeconcv , and will over bo the strong advocate of personal as well as of civil and religious liberty. If the 'limes lives up to these prom ises it will agreeably surprise a great many people who heretofore have boon accustomed to handle that sheet witli a pitchfork. The Times without sensa tional scandals and Z'o/i'cc / Gazette horrors will resemble Chicago without Hell's Half Aero , It must not bo forgotten that with all its tendency to sensationalism and moral cross-oyedness the Timca under Wilber F. Storey was a great newspaper. Carter Harrison starts out under very savorablo auspices at a period when Chicago is appro'iohing the zenith of her marvelous growth , but with nil his talents and unlimited capital ho has as sumed a task that will tax Ills onorgles to their fullest capacity. MUST jsxrxxn uint T Omaha Is just now at a critical stage in her history. She has reached a point iu her commercial career when further growth and prosperity depend largely upon her own exertion. The city does not command the trndo of the territory naturally tributary to il. Omaha must roach out into north ern Nebraska and South Dakota. Wo must push out into the northwest for the Montana and Wyoming cattle trade nnd inaugurate an intorehnngo of the products of our farms and fuclonoa for the bullion , cash and cattle of these re gions. Likewise must wo extend our hands to the vast ( southwestern , stock ranges. Our beef packing establish ments require at least 150,000 head of cattle more than the present tributary territory produces. It is perfectly clOar .that this industry cannot grow until wo have opened now regions from which to draw the raw product. Almost as Important to this city as the outlets northwest nnd south west is ono to the northo.ibt. The "Whaloback" grain vessel bids fair to make Duluth as important a grain market ns Chicngo. Duluth Is perhaps 100 miles nearer Omaha by direct line than Chicago. The present railroad connections via at. Paul and Minneapo lis make the dlbtiuice but n trlllo greater than to Chicago. Wo should direct our energies to the problem of opening dl- icot trndo relations with Duluth and so bo in position to dictate terms to Chicago cage or at least to he independent of any manipulations of Unit city adversely atTecting our Interests. It is always for tunate for a seller to have two eager purchasers waiting to buy his goods. The South Dakota trade in Die Black Hills and in the agricultural districts properly centers toward Omaha. All that is needed to bring It hero are rail road facilities and energetic etTort on the part of our business men. Wo have ample rail connections with the Hills , and there is reason to believe that our jobbers and manufacturers are winning their way in those wealthy mining camps. With the agricultural part of South Dakota east of the Missouri river wo have no commercial relations. All the existing railways draw the immense - monso products of these tortile val leys to Minneapolis 'and Chicago. A short line of railway will enable this city to tap that region und the on- torprlso should Immediately receive In telligent attention. Omaha must extend her trade or her growth will bo slow. The present win ter with it promises of nrospi'rltv for IKDU IH a good season for work. Wo should plan a commercial campaign while in winter quarters which will load to vigorous and successful action when the working SOUHOII opens. . > a A i to i ii / > / > / : / 'ixn K , A dispatch from San Francisco a few days ago stated that some excitement was created in that city by the an nouncement of extraordinary activity In the navy yards. The natural inference was that the government was gotlintf ready for oxpccted hostilities , and in view of the almost defenseless condition of San Francisco the impression caused some anxiety. In the event of a war with Chili , of which there now appears to bo llttlo danger , the metropolis of the Pncillc coast would probably receive Iho llrst attention from the war ships of that country , and they might destroy a great deal of property thoro. Now Orleans is another vulner able point whore a few Chilian ironclads could do a very considerable amount of damage , and tlio newspapers of that city arc demanding that congress shall pro vide for its adequate defense. The Atlantic wiaboard cities would not bo in very great danger of a visit from vessels of the southern country , but they are so oxpobod as to bo practically at the mercy of llrst class war ships. The subject of coast defense Ins been discussed for years , but without any practical results of consequence. The lute Samuel J. Tilden addressed a very earnest letter to President Cleveland shortly after his inaugu ration urging the necessity of bettor defenses for cities of the seaboard , but it received no surious attention from that administration. OMicors of Uio army and the navy have pointed out the vul nerability of the seaboard at vital points and estimates of the cost of adequate de fensive works have boon submitted from time to time to congress. Both the secretary - rotary of war and the secretary of the navy referred to the subject In their last annual reports as a matter - tor that called for prompt at tention on the part of the government. Secretary Proctor said : "No great civil ized nation today has moro just cause than ours to look well to the condition of its coast defenses , and none , since the ctvrl war , has so wholly neglected them. " Secretary Tracy graphically pictured the destruction and suffering that might bo caused by an enemy's Hoot that should outer the harbor of Now York , and strongly pointed out the duty of the government to give adequate protection to tlio exposed sea ports. The last congress made u com paratively liberal appropriation for com mencing and continuing the construc tion of gun and mortar batteries for the defense of Boston , Now York , San Fran cisco and other harbors , but popular apprehension of the importance of tills matter has not boon sulllciontly acute. The people outside of the seacoast cities and states hnvo failed to appreciate the danger and to realize how much there is at stake , while counting too much upon the ability of the country to rapidly prepare to meet any emergency. Besides , every movement to properly fortify our ports has mot with demo cratic obstruction , and until the last congress that party was able to make such obstruction olToctivo for years. It needed such a menace ns is involved in the Chilian difllculty toimprooS the pop ular mind generally with the fact tlmtas ono of the great nations of tlio world , having moro or less intimate relations with al ) other countries , wo can never bo entirely free from the danger of a disturbance of such relations , and that wo ought at least to bo prepared to de fend ourselves In case of an attack. Un doubtedly this subject of coast defense will receive earnest attention in the message of the president and the war and naval reports , and it ought to bo a bufo prediction that it will not bo ignored or its importance be underesti mated by congress. CIIICAOO says she will make no fight for the national convention , but lias nevertheless appointed a citizens' com mittee to make a "dignified olTort" for it. Dignified otl'ort is good indeed com ing from Chicngo. A dignified onort , from the Chicago standpoint , moans to leave no stone unturned in trying to bag the convention. OMAHA'S chances for securing the next republican national convention are improving every day. The Now York newspapers which have made merry over our ambition will bo congritulat- ing themselves within a fortnight that they had thol" laugh out in advance of the mooting of the national committee. Ariur , next wo are to have the Pan- Republic congress and the Human Free dom club. In May comes tlio general conference of the Methodist Kpibcop.il church ; in July the intorstnto drill of the National guards. Conventions de siring Omaha dates for 18)2 ! ) must get In their applications early. OMAHA will have a public warehouse , Class A , with a capacity for ( ! 00OU ( ) Dusholh of grain. The application for license has boon granted and the Wood man-Ritchie elevator will therefore bo the first public warehouse in Omaha licensed under the warehouse law. HAVING determined who nro to com pose the Board of I'Mucatlon for next year , let the old board devote its re maining olllcial term to devising ways for economizing in expenditures. HAVING made a start for class A warehouses , let attention be now directed to these of class C' , as con templated In the warehouse law. A HKOINNINU has been made and In a comparatively short time Omaha will bo well supplied with public warehouses for tno storage of grain. GKNTI.KMKN of the Board of Trade , you will find it profitable to Onmlm to Investigate the law regarding Clans C warehoubes. SOUTH OMAHA is entirely willing to call Major Pitf6ck Hit , but she does not enjoy the rahjiof Dennis assigned to her by the 11 86 county olllclnls who picked out thc jjto7tfr.

H' < ui/im'ioii / ( I'nxt ( reo. ) In Iowa the re-election of Oovernor Boles is another unanswerable demonstration of re publican folly in blindly adhering to local policies with which the great body of the nao- pie. Including many ublo and conspicuous re publicans , nro wholly out of sympathy and which are justly regarded inimical to the in terests of the state. Neither the tariff Issue nor the silver issue cut a commanding or in cisive llgure in the Iowa campaign , na com pared with the elements of internal dissen sion that distracted the counsels und weak ened tlio organisation of the grand old party. TIIK itnitL > ir.\i > ur New York Advertiser : The defeat of Mr. Redmond , the now Pornelllto leader , in Cork , would seem to settle forever the fnto ot tbo Parnoll party in Ireland. Ht. Louis Republic : The defeat of the Parnellito candidate , which has Just taken place In Parnoll's ' old district , ouglit to con vince that faction that it is hopelessly in the minority in Ireland. Chicago Tribune : The defeat nt Cork is the fifth the I'arnellltos have suffered within a year. They have not won onco. The Irish p'-oplo nro determined to maintain the alli- nnco with the Uladstonian liberals. Chicago Herald : Defer t so siLrnillcant may induce the few rational men among thorn to seek reunion ith the majority. They can prolong the dlscraco of faction , but it is cer tain they cannot win constituencies. Minneapolis Tribune : Tlio departure of Mr. Heilmond nnd his shlllntnh from the po litical Hold is the main hope of homo rule. There Is now an opportunity for that union which is so necessary to the Irish cinsc. St. Paul Pioneer Press : Whllo the result has nnvor seemed doubtful , the friends of Ireland everywhere will congratulate her upon her fidelity In an hour of sere trial , and nor worthiness to receive the sympathy of all the world that loves liberty and hopas for its triumph. CnicagoTimes : Mr. flavin's election by n largo plurality over Hcdmond nnd n ma jority over nil , is significant of the fooling In Cork , and Indicative of thf > fact that faction was engendered in the nnmo of Parnoll to no purpose , such nt In his best estate Parnell would not nave sanctioned. Minneapolis Time * : The McCarthyltos nro entitled honooforth to call themselves not a faction , but the Irish national party. They are in accord with the liberals , trusted by the pcopln of Ireland and represent the character and moans of .the organization which Parnoll croaked.

Grand Island Indnpondont : And now the fanners must submit to a season of scolding from the Independent press nnd Iho horde of demagogues who wore confident that It was the duty of the farmers to drop everything else nnd engage in the work of pulling chestnuts out of the fire for them to oat. The farmers hnvo boon played upon by "profu slonal farmers who uovor farm" so long that they are heartily tired of being made cats' ' paws of. Lincoln Herald ( dom. ) : No matter now whether Kdgorlon is elected or Post counted In as supreme jndgo. The restoration of re publican dominance has boon accomplished mid the race of the independent party Is run. It will die because it Is not lit to live. There is no place for It to fill nor was there over. Whether It shall linger ono or two or five ycais longer , or shall dissolve at once Into its origiual elements , does not matter. It is not the stuff'of which great and durable parties nro mado. Daw son County Herald ( dern ) : The pee plo's party , so-called , not only of Dawson county , but of the entlro state , has received a rebuke In the last election which certainly speaks for Itself. This paper is the frinnd of the farmer mid tno laboring man. It also be lieves that the rank and file of the inde pendent party were earnest nnd conscientious in their efforts for reform , but the great trouble was Instead of seeking redress through the proper channels they placed themselves in the hands of demagogues and political dead-beats who took advantage of tholr wrongs to aid in tholr own advance ment. The result was , the conservative olqment saw through the gauze nnd asserted their manhood at the polls with such em phasis that it had its effect in u manner not to bo misunderstood. Crawford Clipper : It has boon demon strated by the people of Nebraska that they have had enough of sham legislation throueh rampant independents , in the election of Judge Post to the supreme bonch. The World-Herald scandal-monger could not by his filthy nnd scandalous letters dissuade the people from an nctof honor and pride in cast ing their ballot against Edgorton , the inde pendent candidate. The mass of people , re gardless of party afllliations , caused the dis astrous result , and their pride and respect for the good name and credit of the state is what did it. Republicans alone could not have elected Judge Post , but democrats and Independents came to their assistance and helped wipe from political existence the ob noxious remnants of a chloritic party. 1-Yomont Flail : The Flail uoos not believe that the whole course of the republican party ol this state has been vindicated , but rather that the people have decided to suffer the ills that nro rather than iloo to others that they know not of. That thcro nro grievances that should bo removed and injustices that should bo remedied is very certain , and the crcat uprising of the people has spoken It In tones of thunder. 1'ho victory of the republican party has not been a vindication of that party nnd the sanguine politician who fancies it is very wide the mark. The dotoat of the inde pendents is not because the dissatisfaction with the dominant party has been removed - moved but because the vocoders had lost faith in their loaders. When It was proven that the men on whom they hud relied to champion tholr cnuso , and load them in the great conllict , wore fnlso to them nnd had sold their inlluonco to the railroads for their favors , there was a re action that shook the independent party to its center and withont n doubt was tlio prime cause of their overthrow. This matter must bo viewed in its true light. The independent party of Nebraska Is or.ly temporarily de feated. With new loaders and now inspira tion they will como forth again bettor pre pared for the conllict than over , unless the causes for tholr uprising shall hnvo boon re moved. There nro momentous questions that must bo solved before the great party can again gain the confidence of the people. The question ol fair and equal taxation , of lust and equitable railroad rates and of a inodillcd tariff the necessities of life will not down until they nro settled in the interests of the people and it is useless to expect it. intuvuiT HIM TO IT. 1'romiiicnt Wisconsin Man J'lcnds ( iiillty of Kolihury. IltriN'n , Wis. , Nov. 10. The people of southern Wisconsin wore shocked on the morning of August 10 to road that Dr. Charles N. Palmer , ono of the most proml- lent and respected physicians in this section of the country , had boon armstod charged with robbing the store and postoflico at the luiol llttlo vllhv.'o of Kaymoml Cantor.
