Tllfi VAf.tJK 01ORGANIZATION. .
The republican victory in Rhode
Island illustrated ngaln the vnluo of
organization. Yho republican league ,
composed mainly of youna mon , was a
potent factor in the contest. There nro
between forty and fifty league clubs in
the stnto , and these active and
aggressive organizations the centers of
political energy in their several
localities did a work to which the
signal triumph of the parly was very
largely duo. The lenguo had charpo
of the speaking canvass , paw that alt
republican voters were registered , and
attended to the dlstrloutlon of cam
paign literature. It was a force thnt
was constantly felt in the canvass ,
keeping the * Interest of republicans
aroused , stimulating the apathetic to
action , making converts to the cause ,
and Infixing all with earnest /mil.
The same kind of ? .on\ \ and practical
organla-illon , suggests the Now York
Tiibtmc , is needed in all the states.
"Fresh blood nnd systematic organiza
tion , "says thnt journal , "aro required
In every state in order that the work ao
wall begun in Rhode island may bo car
ried to a successful issue in November. "
It Is not to soon for republicans every
where to take stops for the thorough
organization of the party. The olllcers
of the National League of Domocr.itic
Clubs have issued a lurid address ap
pealing to democrats to proceed at once
to organize. Republicans should not
allow themselves to bo anticipated , in
this work. It is not necessary to post
pone action until after the national con
vention. On the contrary thcro should
everywhere bo roadines * to start the
campaign vigorously and aggressively
as soon aa the presidential candidate is
named , so that no time bo lost In arous
ing the interest of voters.
The incentive to do this could hardly
bo slrongpr than it is. All things indi
cate republican success next November.
Whilst the democracy Is split into irre
concilable factions over candidates and
policies , there are no difToronces among
republicans that cannot bo easily sot-
tied. The representatives of the party
in congress , with a 1'ow exceptions , are
in complete harmony regarding policies
and in full accord with the administra
tion. The party is not perplexed by the
question of a candidate. So far as the
masses of the party nro concerned the
choice is already made , and ovcry leader
of strength and inlluonco acquiesces.
The policy of the party is also fully do-
fined. It is now , as in the past , in favor
of protecting American industries and
labor and of giving the people a sound
nnd stable currency nnd tin honest del
lar. In all those respects it has the ad
vantage of the democracy , which is not
united upon any candidate or on any
policy.
The situation offers every encourage
ment to the hope of republicans , every
incentive to confidence. But it will not
bo wise to look for success wholly from
the divisions of the oncmy. Thorough
organization will still bo necessary , earnest -
nest work will have to bo done , there
will still ho demand for all the zeal and
aggressive energy which republicans
can bring to bear. The present trend of
popular sentiment is not doubtful. The
result in Rhode Island has made that
plain. But no effort must bo spared to
strengthen the conditions which will
give republican success next November.
1UGHT OF KMIKBNT DOMAIN.
Every citizen will agree that a half
do/en isolated parks is not a complete
p.n k boulevard system. The p irk com
missioners and all concerned have
agreed that Omaha's parks should bo
connected by wide parkways , and orna
mented boulevards suitable for drives.
The commissioners sought the right of
eminent domain in order that individ
ual obstructionists should be prevented
from interfering with their plans for
a system of largo and small parks , con
nected by boulevards. They wore
greatly disturbed hu > t summer , when
after beginning a survey for such an in
terior system it was finally announced
that the city had no authority to condemn
lands for parks. Our recollection is
that Dr. George L. Miller , the able and
intelligent president of tha board , was
especially regretful ot thih supposed turn
in affairs for the reason that it prevent
ed the commissioners from proceeding
upon the comprehensive plans they had
already outlined in their minds.
The city attorney is recognized as an
able lawyer. His position has boon
clearly announced after mature relloc-
tion. There should bo no disposition
anywhere to discount the value of so im
portant a lotral conclusion. It should bo
received with gratitude and accepted as
an immediate bolutlon of a perplexing
problem , and should bo acted upon ac
cordingly. It is unfair to the people , to
the city attorney , and to the enterprise
of securing parks and boulevards to
characterize Mr. Council's proposition
as a "phase of park obstruction. " Every
citizen favors parks and every taxpayer
favors buying suitable park lands at the
lowest prices possible. The city attor
ney's opinion that the right of eminent
domain may bo exorcised , if sustained
by the courts , will miiko it possible to
meet this domund quickly and fully.
The suggestion that it will delay the
securing of grounds is incorrect. Con
demnation is a summary proceed ing.
The appeals of dissatisfied land owners
would naturally bo upon the amount of
damages rather than the question of the
right of condemnation. There is loss
danger of injunction by proceeding ac
cording to law than by ignoring the
plain provisions of the charter. AH the
condemnation proceedings wiU eivo ua
parkways and boulevards and the charter -
tor authorizes special assessments for
those and for Improving them , wo shall
secure a complete park system sooner by
condemnation than by negotiation and
purclmeo.
A MOA'RTAllV COKGltKStK
The proposal of nn international mone
tary congress , to bo hold in Chicago
next year , will probably encounter no
eorlous objection , though no ono can bo
euro that it would have results of a
practical and useful nature. The bill
that has boon introducnd in the house
of representatives provides for twenty-
one delegates to represent the United
States. Seven of tnose are to bo se
lected by the president and must bo
citrons not holding otlico , the other
fourteen to bo senators and representa
, nn equal number of each being
appointed respectively by the president
of the senate and the speaker of the
house. The appointments are to bo di
vided as equally as possible between the
political parlies. The secretary of stale
and the director of the mint nro to bo
additional delegates.
The bill authorizes the president to
invlto foreign governments to send rep
resentatives , each government to do-
tormtno the number , but to bo entitled
to only ono vole. The congress Is to
formulate and submit , for the approval
of Iho governments represented , uni
form system and nomenclatures of coinage -
ago and 'volirhts and moasurcs , and also ,
If cossiblo. an international agreement
as to the relation which should ho main
tained between gold and silver and unt-
fotmily in weight and fineness of coins ,
nnd the adoption of coin and coins that
would bo currant at the same value in
all countries of the world. .
Undoubtedly foreign governments will
readily participate in the proposed con
gress , because the objects sought to bo
attained , or most of them , are manifest
ly of unlvorsil Interest ; , but It is not
dllllcult to understand that there are
almost unsurmountablo dllllcultlcs in the
way of u general agreement as to nearly
nil of lhc > subjects which such iv congress
would bo called upon to consider. The
question of a uniform system of coinage
and of weights and measures has boon
discussed from time to time for years ,
yet the nations are no nearer to the at
tainment of the desired object than
when it first became n subject of inter
national consideration. The great ditll-
culty is that no country cares to make
the radical changes from long estab
lished systems which would be necessary
to secure uniformity among the nations.
The adoption of coins that would bo cur
rent at the same value In all countries ot
the world would certainly bo a great
convenience , but it may bo.doubted
whether it is quite feasible.
However , oven if no immediate practi
cal results should como from the pro
posed congress Iho discussion of the sub
jects Unit would bo presented to its
attention would bo valuable. Such a
body as contemplated would bo composed
of the ablest economists in the several
countries that would bo represented ,
and their views woula bo a most impor
tant contribution to public knowledge
in the various matters- bo considered.
A
People who understand the meaning
of Iho law of supply and demand w'll '
have no dilhculty in finding sin explana
tion of the decline in the price of sllvor
when they know the amount of the pro
duction of thnt metal. In 1887 and for
several years before the production of
silver was about 42,000,000 , ounces. In
3890 the product reached over 54,000,000
ounces , duo in part to improved meth
ods in mining , nnd- last year there was
produced about 58,000,000 ounces , which
was one-half moro silver than the pro
duction of twelve or thirteen years ago
and nearly five times as much as was
produced twenty years ago. The world's
production rose from 98,000,000 ounces
in 18S7 to 128,000,000 in 1800. or one-
third , and in the past flvo yours it has
risen one-half. The increase in the
output is not confined to this country.
The mines of Now South Wales turned
out nearly one-third moro silver in 1891
than in the previous year , and this pro
duct was put in the market at u cost of
a little lc s than Kl cents an ounce.
Silver production in this country costs
loss , so that even at the present market
price of silver there is a very fair profit
in the business for the mine owners ,
though of course not enough to satisfy
thorn if they can compel the govern
ment to pay them from 30 to 3-3 nor cent
moro than the silver will bring in the
market. In view of the largo increase
in the supply of silver within a few
years , without a corresponding demand ,
a decline in the price was inevitable ,
and oven the purchase by the govern
ment of the entire product of this coun
try could not prevent it. Nor would
the adoption of free and unlimited coinage -
ago by the United States nlono long sus
tain u higher price for silver with n
steadilj increasing supply. In the ab
sence of tin international agreement
nothing this country might do would re-
btoro silver to a parity with gold at the
present ratio. The law of supply and
demand operates the same with silver as
with every other commodity , but the
silver producers are not disposed to sub
mit to it as the farmers and other pro
ducers are compelled to do. They de
mand that tha government shall take
their commodity at one-third more than
it will bring1 in the market , a considera
tion which the government has no moro
right to accord to that interest than it
bus to give Iho farmer 30 por'cent moro
for his corn or wheat than the market
price.
DiiXVKU has a silver club'which its
promoters have boasted contains 8,000
members , every ono pledged to oppose
any man for president who is not pro
nouncedly in favor of free coinage , yet
at a called meeting of this largo and
enthusiastic club only twenty-five or
thirty members were in attendance.
The Denver lleinibliatn makes light of
the so-called nonpiiriisnusilver clubs
and says fully 1)3 ) per cent of these who
have signed the club roll wiu'votu with
their parlies al the presidential election
without regard to the plunks relative to
free coinage in Iho several platforms.
CHKKSIJ PARISH HOLMAN'S committee

Resources is np sjivoi to the discussion of
political probloms. It is a matter , generally
speaking , that we huvo but Httlo to do with ,
but there , nro certain features connected
with the politics of Nebraska that It seems
perfectly proper for us , as u representative
live sloclc journal , to discuss in a brief
manner. The only point that wo wish to
maUo m this article is this : There are cer
tain alleged farmers who nro , and have
been for so long a tlrno that the memory of
man runneth not back , catonnp for ofllco of
various sorts and characters ; wo refer to
people who delight nud revel in hicko y
shirts ana boots soiled with the born-yard ,
trusting in this gulso to convoy the lasting
imnrtfsslon upon the dear people that they
are boim lido agriculturists. So horny-
handed are they In the toil that has made
Nebraska blossom as the rose , that they
scoff at the idea of b'ackiug ' their
boots or wearing a boiled shirt.
This kind of politics might have ben
very popular in the pearly dlstory of the
west , wo say It Is possible that at tnat time
tlio neoplo of Nebraska wore void of the or
dinary intelligence that characterizes the
humblosi clllzon of tbo atuto today. It might
have boon , but wo seriously question it. Wo
question it for the reason that this liiekoty-
shirtod brigade , this soiled boot and slouch-
hatted band of oftlcoseokors huvo boon
alllco-scciteiM all their lives , and their ambi
tion lias never boon satiated. Thu lime Is at
hand when the farmers nnd stockmen of
this , ono of the most highly enlightened and
ono of the most fertile states of the union ,
should put a linger of condemnation upon
such mockery. A pen piuturo of a certain
would-bo candidate is drawn in the following
words : An owner of land , which ho rents ,
ho lives in the precincts of a small city and
has over been present in the caucuses whoso
duty It wa-i to place a candidate- for
governor or what not in the
field ; his attire Is ttmt of a farmer not away
from homo but in his daily toils about his
farm ; his hat Invariably has u cobweb upon
it , his shirt is or tbo hluicory iiiad , his boots
nro soiled and ho has an odor about him of
the Jersey cow that ho Keeps in his stable ,
and QUO who is not fiiiinllar with his tactics
would bo surprised to follow him In his wan
derings over the state and through the dark
alloys of the cities. Indeed so i o truly rep
utable. people who have stood by this ofllco
seeltor ftom time Immemorial , almost ,
would bo surprised to sco ntin bit tit thu
poiier table with a well known nporting
character , with JUJ or S1OUU piled up in
iron ! of him. .ujivfling by the sweat
of his brow \i\4 \ \ ililly broad ; n mini
unused to ugriculluru in every form except
ing witli his vurbo > o tonguu. Why it is that
the farmers of Nobj sku will lend so much
as an encouragement to ono who playt. them
for chumps , It wiwpay ba permitted to USD
tbo term , is buyomDour Icon. Today , in the
nineteenth centuujOt is not evidence of a
man's fealty to tlio-iurieultnrul masses that
he wears the garb ot * a liiboilng mnn ; It Ii
not evidence that a man is bettor posted in
that which Is noCuniiry to advance the agri
cultural and stoclfciralbiiig Interests of No.
braska because lie-'lnslsts in wonrlii ? thu up-
parol wnich u fyriresuntatlva atoclc mun
would not wear at any rospuctablu conven
tion , to cliurch on at uuy gathering uwtty
from homo.
Wo da not moaTTfo say tlmt the npparol Is
essential to ttio in , in ; uodo not mean lor a
single moment -denounce a man simply be
cause bo drasioj In common clol'aln ; . ' , but
when snoli apimrol U a man's only dm in to

opinion of the voters some sort ol a chnngo is
pretty cortnin to bo made. Mr. Burr In forms
mo that thcro has never been In his experi
ence so much money in Iho city nnd country
banns ns thcro Is nt the present timo. Lonu-
nulu funds nro easy , and the retail merchants
throughout tlio state are buying freely and
heavily. While the prioo of grain Is not
whnt was expected earlier In the
season , says Mr. Burr , the crou has been so
largo that' the farmer generally has received
handsome returns for his labor. Tills nntur-
ully onaratcs against the "calamity
hoxvlors , " who have been trying to delude
agriculturlsU of Nebraska Into tbo opinion
thnt thu government is responsible for crop
ful In res as well us diplomatic failures , and
that the remedy Is to have a national
kindergarten , where the taxation of the
people at largo shall provide funds for
object lessons. For people who mnku money
freely and oasllv , uch n scheme Is totally
impracticable , and has been losing ground
for n .tear pnst lu other sections of the
country , ns 1 presume It 1ms In Nebraska.
Mr. Burr looks for largo accessions to the
republican party from the sensible farmer
element who were led off into the alliance
movement , nnd who hnvo discovered , as they
were curtain to do sooner or later , thnt the
only tosults obtained have been the pushing
into prominence of a low demagogues
throughout the country.
John H. Ames of Lincoln believes that
thcro will bo a fusion this year between the
democrats and alliance parties. Ho looks
for the rcnominatiou of Mr. Brvan by the
democrats of bis district nnd Ills endorse
ment by the alliance convention. Whether
the fusion will extend to legislative candi
dates he says ho is not prepared to state at
present , but that it looks as if this would be
the plan. Exactly how the two wings of the
Nebraska democracy will flop lu unison on
the rurruacv question nobody but a member
of the "jama-old-sot" club , or the Jacksonlan
phalanx can flguro out.

Sergcaut-at-Arms Valentino , who has re
turned Irom northern NebrasUahclievc3 , that
the admirable administration of Presiuent
Harrison has strengthened tlio party through
out thu state nnd that the inilubnco of sound
tepubllcanisni .is exemplified in thooxocutivo
will stimulate Ncbri > ka rcpuollcnns to re-
L'owcd earnestness , and a willingness to moot
whatever combination will bo opposed to
them. Mr. Valentino thinks that tlio ronub-
lican votes of Douglas county must bo carefully -
fully looked after In the coming state cam
paign , ana says that ho has been advising
fail friends for the sake of party victory to
let Douglas county select its candidate for
governor. Ho believes that the question of
the stuto against the city should not bo per
mitted to enter Into a struggle for party
supremacy in the presidential year.

There has been some talk of Jack McCoIl
ngaln for the governorship , but Senator
Manderson informs mo that MclJoU will
absolutely decline the honor if tendered him.
Other names mentioned are Mcikoljohn and
Dan Nottloton , but this matter as Is under
stood will bo moro thoroughly canvassed
during tlio state convention when delegates
will bo selected to go to Minneapolis. There
has boon qulto n movement among the anti-
Harrison men to induce Senator Mnndorson
to psrtnit his name to on used for tlio presi
dential nomination , representatives of sev
eral states having in formed him that ho rould
receive thu votes of their delegations
in such an event. It is also suggested that
the Algor vote would go to Senator Mandor-
son in the contingency that. General Algcr's
nominution wus found to bo Impracticable.
Senator Manderson , howovcr , told mo several
\\eeks ngo that ho was for Harrison , and thnt
ho would not accept a presidiMUia1 nomina
tion if tendered bun nor permit the use of his
name In such n connection , so I do not
imagine that tbo enemies of the administra
tion will llnd in tlio senator the stalkinc
horse for their assault on the next republican
noinlnco.

The first cavalry drilfundor the now regu
lations took place this wsek at Fort Myer.
Colonel Guy Henry of the Seventh cavalry
was in command of the three troopi and n
largo number of spectators from Washing-
t in witnessed the drill. The now cavalry
drill regulations saorilleo the old precision
nud elognnco of movement for celerity. The
"wheels" which once delighted the nvorngo
spectator nro displaced and the orders seem
to havn for iliclr object the most rapid move
ment posslole to carry nut thn directions ,
Tim columns ol musses hnvo disappeared for
extended lines ; and open order is the rule ,
Thu troops are divided Into squads of seven
or eight mon under charge of a noncommli-
sloncil olllcer and arranged In xuccosslvo
lliu'.s within supporting distance of each
oilier. Thu effect of the drill is , there
fore , not at all llko dross parade.
The now drill regulations nro being carefully
simiiud by tlie cavalry oftlcor-i , who complain
somoivhnt of their voluminousnoss. They
comprise not only the ordinary tactics , but
illrociions for thu care and Hhoulnc of horses ,
trcatnicntof the diseases of thu horse , pack
ing of animals and maniuzeinent of pack
trains. In adaitlon , tlio re are seventeen
auttiug'Up exercises for Iho trooper In the
Dlnro of the four under the olu Upton tnc-
tioj , which ruled for moro tluiii twenty
years. It is suggested that many amend-
inon'.s will have to bo wade when thu now
drill regulations nro put into actual opera
tion , and that in the end tbo onion amend
ing tlio regulations will rnuko up a volume
scarcely leas bulky thuu the regulations
themselves.

The status of the lluenl promotion bills re
mains as at Inat advised. There Is no possi
ble ctmnco for the enactment of the Outli-
wulto muasuro into a law , and unless Mi.
OuthwMto consents to tha amundmont made
by the senate commlttco on tnllltnr.v affairs ,
there U no probability that either the Pi-oc-
tor bill or the Ouihwalto bill can bo pin cod

The attempt on thopnrt * of tlio house to cut
down the pay corps will bo vigorously OIK
posed in the senate by these who believe that
the Interests of the service rather demand Its
extension than its curtailmcni. Military
men who have looked into the subject mos\
thoroughly nro convinced that there should
00 but ono common pay chest for the nrmv ,
as there M for the navy , and that all appro
printlons for whatever army expense should
go Into that , to bo disbursed by pay ofllcors
under the direction of the secretary of war.
As It Is the
now

miasnry genera ) , ordnance nnd engineer
ofllcnrs and all oilier corps are dlslmtslng , at
unnecessary expense for auditing nnd

bu economy und good sense to have but
ono corps of disbursing ofllcors for the army.
The appropriations for eacli corps could bo
kept separate just ns well and much expense
and circumlocution would ba avoided lu con

I mot Pat Donan on nn F street car the

to Robert Inprorsoll , la now n man of largo
wealth and lives in affluence In Washington
ulth n handsome income from investments

Christian religion. "It is a singular thing , "
said Douan , 'that Wendllng , when ho Ilrst

an unbeliever as liobort G. Ingorsoll. Ho
was u man of fervid imagination , good pres
ence and possessed of the trlfl of eloquence.

Hooked to his support. As a remarkable con
