THE knives of the warring factions of
the democracy are whetted to the keen
est edge and tlio fight between the
Boyd and Martin factions continues in
teresting to republicans and uncertain
to the contestants.
OMAHA has always been unfortunate
in one particular : Any sohomo proposed
by Omaha men of financial standing is
almost certain to bo opposed by other
Onmhiv men of like financial standing.
Our citizens have never learned to work

THKRI ; is no good reason why the

THK QVKSTIOff OF PRICKS.
In the course of his brilliant and elo
quent speech on the tariff In the house
last week Representative Dollivor of
Iowa repeated the challenge to the dem
ocrats , which had previously boon made
by Representative Dlngluy of Maine ,
to name a single article the retail price
of w'.iich hnd bnon advanced by the tar
iff act of 1SIK ) . In response four articles
wore named pocket knives , pearl but
tons , linen goods Mid tin plalo. Said
Mr. Dollivor : "Four articles Imvobeen
named in a houseful of representative
business men from every quarter of the
United States. I do not intend to dis
cuss these four articles hero. I am going
to turn thorn over to ether gentlemen ,
or bettor still , leave them to the actual
knowledge of the shoppolng public ,
which will thoroughly explode what Is
left of the humbug and pretense that
prices Imvo increased slnco 18'JO. ' "
Was it not romurkablo , in view of the
persistent assertion of the democrats ,
f om Mr. Cleveland to the least of them ,
U'dt the present tariff has increased the
price to consumers of nearly everything
in common ut-o , that the democratic
representatives in congress could name
only four articles as having advanced
in price under Iho act of 1890 ? And as
v tnattar of fact the articles named are
not higher now than they wore before
the present tariff act wont into effect ,
taking all grades together. As to pearl
juttons , Mr. Dollivor referred to the
'actory ' in Omaha and slated that It Is
"today turning out as good an article as
was over made in the world , and for a
ewer urico , nnd the establishment of
that industry has already , by the enlist
ment of American genius in a now
enterprise , invented processes of manu
facture that promise to maKe the old
prices of pearl buttons a more reminis
cence. " With regard to tin plate it Is
a fact which may be verified by refer
ence to the quotations that Iho imported
article is lower in Now York today than
it over was. It is true the charge is
made that the foreign manufacturers
are neb shipping over as good an arti
cle as formerly , but tit any rate the
truth is that tin pinto is not higher than
before the present tariff. Every buyer
of linen goods knows they are sold as
cheaply now as two years ago.
The assertion of Mr. Cleveland , in his
Providence speech , that the consumers
of the country nro oppressed by the
tariff net of 1890 is rot sustained by the
facti. Any fair comparison of prices
now and eighteen months ago will show
that a great majority of the articles in
common use are no higher than when
the tn. ! iff act wont into effect and that
the price of some has declined. Men of
practical affairs , who study the markets ,
cannot bo deceived by the charge that
the tariff act of 1890 has increased the
price of articles of general use.
TO COXDttMN 1'AttKS.
In answer to an inquiry from Mayor
Bemis , City Attorney Council gives it
as his opinion that the charter grants to
the city government authority to con
demn lands for parks nnd boulevards ,
and also authority to assess their cost
against property benefited.
This is an important interpretation of
the law , for it menus that the city can
solcct exactly such lands as are deemed
most desirable and condemn them. An
appraisal by three disinterested ap
praisers would in all probability greatly
reduce tlio cost of the tracts selected ,
and our $400,000 in bonds can bo made
to cover moro land and land better
suited to the requirements of the city.
Wo never cnn and never will have a
well planned system of parks and boule
vards unless wo oxoroiso the right of
eminent domain and secure exactly what
is wanted at the lime it is wanted. A
chain of parks and boulevards connect
ing each ether and laid out upon grounds
most suitable is essential to such a sys
tem. The time will never come when
every owner of grounds needed for sueli
a purpose can bo induced to part with
them at reasonable prices.
There is no merit in the claim that
wo must go on regardless of this power
now because the council has ratified the
choice of lands made by the park com
missioners. The people voted blindly
upon the question so fur us special tracts
wore concerned trusting to the mayor
and council and the park commissioners
to act upon business principles and do
their duty. They want tlio best lundb
they can secure for the least money and
do not euro who owns thorn. The coun
cil and park commissioners will be justi
fied in accepting the opinion of the city
attorney.
It does not follow that the tracts al
ready selected shall bo uoandonud. It
will bo naturally expected , however ,
that those lands will bo condemned in
the legal way and that tlio city shall
piiy for them only what three dis
interested appraisers pronounce thorn to
be worth. It is quite probable that the
city can save enough by this course to
add at least ono more inside park to the
system , nnd can also safely undortuko to
condemn ground for boulevards. If the
owners of the land are not satisfied with
the appraisal of the city authorities they
can appeal to the district court.
OMAHA MUST DO
It Is high time that our citizens awake
to the fact that paralysis is akin to
death. No city can stand still. She
must either progress or rotrocrrado.
There can he no neutral ground. The
only hope for obtaining commercial
supremacy at thin point and the onlj
chance for increasing our business in
dustries Is by enterprise from within.
Capitalists from abroad will not invest
in a city whoso citixons show by tliolr
conduct that they huva no confidence in
her future.
Now that the spring is opening a
number of local enterprises are Doing
talked up. Principal of those in point
of iraporiunco and amount of money to
bo expended is the Nebraska , Central
railway. Dl cusslon of the features of
the proposition made by the Omaha
gontlonion who compose this company
has awakened interest in ether direc
tions. If for no ether reason , the gon-
tleinon making the offer to build this
road and its double track bridge deserve
the thanks of the community. Wo want
a few more bro.id-gaugo propositions.
The people of Omaha cannot bo nwuk-
onod from their lethargy by anything
pxcopt extraordinary schemes for the
welfare of the city. Once aroused and
set to work wo have the faith to believe
that an Impetus will bo given to enter
prises now sleeping nnd that this very
rear will see some of the old-time en
ergy ngaln manifested In Ouiaha affairs.
THK CA.VI'AIUN AUAtXST 1111,1 *
The friends of Mr. Cleveland In Now
York are waging the campaign against
Ills adroit and uncompromising rival
with great vigor. The mooting hold In
Buffalo , the former homo of Cleveland ,
nnd supposed to bo ti Hill stronghold ,
demonstrated by the largo attendance
that the ox-prcslclcnt bus still many
supporters there. The speeches were
most unsparing In tliolr denunciation of
[ lilllnin. Ono of the speakers declared
that within the p'ist three months Hill
: iad boon for tariff reform and against
: t , had been for the free coinage of sil
ver and against it , and characterized
lilm as n "burlesque politician , " who
"kicks and twists , and turns and bows ,
nnd smirks and throws kisses at the po
litical baldheads , when nil the while ho
Is only making an indecent exposure of
liimsolf ns a political street walker , of
fering himself body and soul r.t the low
price of a vote or a delegate. " "Tho
people. " further declared the sueakor ,
"aro not prepared for ashifty , shuflllng.
equivocal , prevaricating candidate for
the highest honor in their gift. Prom
the shifty , paltorliig , tnlscliiof-muking
demagogue , they turn with abounding
confidence to the safe , strong and stead
fast democrat who stands square to
every wind that blows , who cares not to
be great , but rich in honest , noble ser
vice to the state. " This sort of raillery
may not bo admirable , but it is ox-
prossivc and shows the strong and in
tense feeling of these democrats In Now
York who nro antagonizing the presi
dential ambition of Hill. It it useless to
think of harmonizing this faction with
the clement that acknowledges the lead
ership of Hill , and this consideration
will have Its influence upon the national
convention. Ex-Secretary Fatrchild
said at the Buffalo meeting that nobody
proposed to bolt the nomination , but ho
is a very poor politician if ho believes
that any considerable number of the
friends of Hill would support Cleveland ,
and it is extremely doubtful whether ho
would himself support Hill.
The indications are , however , that Hill
is already out of the race. There is
nowhere any manifestation of hearty
interest in his cause , and there is reason
to believe that ho is finding it something
of a tusk to hold his Now York friends
together. It has been reported that
some of the Tammany men wore ready
to desert him , and there are evidences
that the Hill machine is not working as
smoothly as its managers could desire.
But It does not appear that this ten
dency to desert Hill is necessarily in the
interest of Cleveland. The men Who
were instructed and pledged to the
former by the convention of February
22 , and who share with him the censure
of the hostile faction , will not go to the
ox-president under any circumstances.
They will prefer a candidate from eomo
ether state than Now York , and it is
said that if ho finds ho has no chance for
the nomination Hill will endeavor to
control the delegation in the interest of
Senator Gorman.
The situation does not grow any less
Dorploxing for the democracy. There
is no doubt that the masses of the party
prefer Cleveland , but the shrewd , poli
ticians understand that without har
mony in Now York his nomination
would bo fatal , and there Is hardly a
possibility that the factions there can
bo harmonized. The ono thing that
now seems practically assured is , that
Hill will not bo the candidate.
OuDiNAiuiA'it is not safe to judge of
the drift of political feeling from the re
sults of municipal elections , but they
are fairly to bo regarded ns having a
greater significance in this respect in
presidential than in ether years. If this
bo granted the republicans may find
much encouragement in the town cleo
tions of this year. Those in Now Yo-k
early in the spring showed generally
notable republican gains , in some cases
cjramunitics which hnd uniformly been
democratic for years electing republican
candidates. Such changes denote the
operation of political inlluoncos. The
city and town olcctions just hold In Ohio
indicate that the republicans of that
state Imvo been gaining strength slnco
the general election of last your , the
party showing an Increased vote in a
number of placed. Of course there has
not been a doubt Unit thq electoral vote
of Ohio will be given to the republican
presidential candidate , but none thu loss
it is interesting to find the party there
growing , because it shows that the free
trade and free silver principles of the
democracy are not acceptable to Intelli
gent voters. In Michigan the repub
licans Imvo also made gains , but it ap
pears that this wus not duo altogether
to politics. Unquestionably Michigan
is a republican state , but under the now
plan of * choosing presidential electors
the republicans cannot got thu full elec
toral vote of the state. In Illinois and
Minnesota party lines vroro not gener
ally drawn , and the same Is true of the
town and village elections in Nebraska.
It is interesting to note that in this
state a majority of license tickets wore
elected.
MA YOU Br.Mis calls the attention of
the city council to section 69 of the charter -
tor and advises that an ordinance bo
passed at an early day for carrying out
Its provisions. This boctlon of the
charter is us follows : "Tho mayor nnd
council ahull have pou-orto establish and
maintain publio libraries , reading
rooms , art galleries and museums , and
to provide the necessary grounds or
buildings thorofor ; to purchase books ,
papers , maps , manuscripts and works of
art , and objects of natural or scientific
curiosity and Instruction thorofor , and to
receive donations and bequests of
monov or property for the satno in trust
or otherwise. They may also pass 11000.1-
sary by-laws and regulations for the pro
tection and government of the sumo. "
RKPOHTS from South Omaha as the
election progressed on Tuesday indi
cated a deep interest on the part of the
participants. The fact that Sheriff Bennett
nott and thirty or moro deputies went to
tlio scene of action early in the day gave
further color to the startling reports re-
stirred up about the only bad blood
shown. The sheriff very cleverly man
aged the mattorV to avoid friction anil
ntood to the dutvjwhich ho not out for
himself at the request of reputable citi
zens. The election , though spirited ,
was orderly , and judging from the ex
pressions of the host citizens of the sub
urb , its results are highly satisfactory.
TlH5 Hun congratulates South Omaha
upon the fact that nothing occurred to
mar the peaceful character of the elec
tion or the good name of the city.
Foil the year ending Juno 30 , 1890 ,
the imports of woolen goods amounted
to $50,582,000. For the year ending
Juno ! 10 , 1691 , they wore $41,000,000 , a
decrease of $15,622,000. Upon this fact
a free trade paper aiguos that the
American people wcro robbed of more
than $15.522,000 , because they wore de
prived of the privilege ot buying foreign
woolens by "tho prohibitory McKlnloy
tariff. " Such idiocy as this ought to bo
transparent to the most casual ro.tdor.
The people bought as much woolen
goods In 1891 us In 1890 beyond doubt.
The imported goods are not donated to
purchasers since this $15,522,009 has
boon kept nt homo and has boon paid for
American woolens. Instead of bewail
ing the reduction ot imports n patriotic
newspaper should rejoice in the fact
that in woolens alone this largo sum
was saved to Americans In a single
year. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
YOUNO men In politics is rognrdcd as

his fresh , confiding soul , the young man

our colonial period wore men under 25.

Clay began his political career at 22 ,
and ho was a senator before ho was 30
Calhoun entered congress when ho was
only 28 years old. AVobstor was a con
gressman at 31. ,
SENATOR MAN KHSON'S fight in the

In most cities the commission business Is
centralized In some ono locality as a mutter
of convenience to the trade , but In Omaha
this has never been done. Another object
which tin commission men tmvo in vlow Is
the lowering of rents , The character of
their business Is such that it Is not noccssary
to Imvo a location on n promlnout business

It the plan Is carried out Omaha will have

WASHINGTON , D.O. , April 0. j
Again the scnnto has refused to strike out
of the Indinn appropriation bill the provision
detailing nnny officers to not ns Indian
agents. The vote taken today upon a motion
to strlko out the provision failed by n nmjor-
Ity of 5 , the snmo ns It failed last week.
Tlioro wcro some changes In the vote , but
the result was the same , nil of the western
republican senators voting to strlko out except -
copt Mandorson , Wilson , Washburn nnd
Davis. Those senators have , from the very
llrst , advocated the turning out of the civilIan -
Ian agents mid the detail of army oftlcors to
tnko their plncos.
Thcro was some very lively dobnlo on Iho
subject today bolero the vote was taken and
altogether the army did not gam very much ,
being severely scored by some of the sena
tors , although It cannot bo said that the
civilian ngents gained a great deal by the
word scrimmages. Senator Voorhees made
an elaborate speech in support of the pro.
vision , In which ho quoted General John II.
Hrooko extensively to show how the wishes
of the Indian hnd boon Ignored
by the department hero and how
the civilians had not only failed to keep I.Uth
with tlio Indians but had shown an unlltness
to handle the Indintm. In the opinion of
Senator Voorheos and General Hroolto the
army ofticcrs know Indians ootter than the
civilians , havinc studied their character nnd
wants , nnd the Indians Imvo a moro axalted
idea and respect for the soldier than the
civilian.
.Senator AIIUiiu'H Vioiv * .
Senator Allison followed Senator Veer
hees , nnd very earnestly opposed the propo
sition to mn It o Indian ngonts of the army
olllcers. Ho wont into the foundation ot the
Sioux troubles of 181K ) nnd 1891 and hold that
it was duo to n lack oi appropriations by
congriss , an Insufficiency of provisions ,
growing out of the parsimony of the demo
crats. Senator Allison said ho coulili see no
moro reason Tor assigning army ofllcors tenet
net as Indian agents thnu for detailing them
to act in the capacity of secretary of the
senate or ns Its clerks nnd other olllcors.
Ho opposed the very principle of roijulrlng
or suffering army ofllcers to do civil duty
anywhere. Ho said there might have boon
at some time In the history of the country
some oxcusu for doing this thing. It might
have boon necessary In 1S3I when It was lirst
done , for nn Indian war was threatened. It
would bo Justus proper to detail nnny ofllcors
to collect Internnl revenue or customs duties.
Ho named a nuuiher of tribes of Indians
whom there was no hostile possibilities nnd
asked what military necessity there was for
detailing army ofllcers to net as agents for
the Indians.
Opposed to Nobriittldi Intcroxtx.
During a flvo-niluuto tariff speech In the
house today nnd in advocating free wool ,
Hoprosontativo McKoighan of Nobraskn
took occasion to "road the riot act"
to the beet growers nnd beet sugar
manufacturers of his state. Ho sold in effect
that ho aid not propose to bo threatened or
menaced by the beet sugar producers Into as
suming n different position than ho occupied
on the sugar question ; that ho was opposed
to any duty upon sugar nnd was opposed to
any bounty upon sucar ; the industry would
have to grow up on Its own merits , If at all ,
and ho aid not propose to bo frightened out
of this position by any sot of men interested
In beet growing or sucar making.

resident Harrison today relieved South
Dakota republicans of cousldorablo suspense
by nominating Franklin P. 1'ulllips of
Watnriown to bo register of tlio land ofllco
at that city vlco Williams , deceased , and
Frank Lillibridge of South Dakota to Ho
acont for the Cboyenno river Indians in thut
state. Phillips was for four years treasurer
of Coddington county and is at present ono
of the state railroad commissioners. Ho Is
about 45 years of ago , a vigorous and well
known republican , nnd although his ap
pointment was urged by Governor Mellotto
it is also acceptable to Senator Pettlgrew
who said today that the nomination would
bo confirmed ns ho would ask It as a
special laver , as the Wnhpotou and Sisseton
reservation would open to settlement on the
15th inst. . and It is important that Register
Phillips should pot ready in his now ofllco.
Mr. Lillibridgo is ono of Iho most capable
nnd well known young republicans in South
Daitotn. His appointment was earnestly
recommended by Senator Pettigrew and
Representatives Picbler and Jolly of South
Dakota.
