TIIK
The democratic majority In the house
of representatives has given nn oxnmplo
of incapacity qullo wllhoat parallel In
the history of congress. It is possible
to find some extenuation for this in
view of tlio fact that now mon with no
experience In legislation , who were
thrown to the surface of political affairs
under oxcoplional circumstances , con
stitute a largo proportion of the
nnjority. But there is no adequate excuse -
cuso to bo found for the persistent
icgloct of duty which many racmbora
of the majority have boon guilty of , and
which has boon growing steadily worao
'rom ' week to week.
Absenteeism baa become chronic , nnd
although a disposition has boon shown
jy the more industrious members of the
liouso to adopt measures to correct tlio
evil , It seems doubtful whether It can bo
cured by tiny means now loft in the
hands of the party managers. Tlio com
mittee on rules having abandoned at the
beginning of the session the right main
tained by the preceding liouso to obhgo
every member present to take part in
legislation to the extent of helping to
form a quorum , and ro-ostabllshed the
old rule of an actual voting quorum , It
la now within the power of a few mem
bers to stop proceedings nl any t line by re
fusing to vote. Although having tin over
whelming majority tlio democrats are
frequently confronted with the cry of
no quorum , " and last week they were
at no Umo able to show an actual voting
majority , the result being an entire sus
pension of business on several days. The
experience lias fully vindicated the
wisdom of tlio rule of the Fitly-first con-
gre.ia requiring that members present
and declining to answer to their names
shall bo counted for the purpose of mak
ing a quorum.
Last Friday tlio house made an at
tempt to vindicate its self-respect by
ordering tlio eorgoant-at-arma to bring
in absentees and about a dozen were
captured and brought to the bar of the
house , but the proceeding was a farce.
All the absentees wore excused , any
sort of explanation from them being sat
isfactory. Considerable time was wasted
in hearing the excuses and taking the
vote on each , together with tlio inci
dental discussion of the question whether
tlio members arrested had tlio right to
vote , and what followed during the ses
sion of that day was of very little cense
quence. Ex-Spoakor Heed aptly said
that the house had become a laughing
stock for gods and mop. There is ample
statutory provisions for the punishment
of derelict members of the liouso , but
tlio penalties are rarely inllictcd , for the
reason that nearly every member lias
at seine time been guilty of violating
the rules and knows that the tempta
tion to do so again may como at any
timo. Neither party ia without bkuno
in tliis matter , though tlio number on
the majority side guilty of dereliction of
duty ia exceptionally lorgo.
The present house of representatives
is not strengthening popular confidence
in the party Unit controls it , and it cer
tainly is not rolleeting any credit upon
tlio legislative branch of tlio govern
ment.
THE Rinruitrn LKAOUK.
Four years ago the general conference ,
after some consideration of the question ,
dcolined to take any action relative to
tlio endorsement of a separate young
people's society for the Methodist Epis
copal church. Tlio Interdenominational
organization known as the Young Poo-
plo'c , Society of Christian Endeavor was
very strong and had a largo membership
in the church. Bishop Vincent and
others were disposed to look with favor
upon the society and to encourage Meth
odist young people to give it their allegi
ance. There wai , however , n very pro
nounced sentiment even at that time in
favor of a strictly Methodist young pee
ple's organization , and the Epworth
league advocates were not at all dis
heartened by the refusal of tlio general
conference to take them under its all-
protecting wing.
During the last four yeara the pastors
have apparently joined these favorable
to the distinct Motbodist society. As a
consequence the Epworth league has
now grown to 8,000 chapters and 400,000
members. It embraces by far tlio
larger share of tlio young people of the
church. Only hero and there are En
deavor societies still maintained in the
Methodist churches. Tlio Jjpwortli Her
ald , the organ of the society , lias a sub
scription list of 00,000 names and it is
regarded as a foregone conclusion that
the Epworth league will drive the En
deavor society out of the Methodist
church.
A memorial will bo presented at this
conference asking for ollicial recogni
tion. It will bo signed nnd advocated
by some of the most eminent clortrymon
in the denomination. Tlio opposition
will bo strong enough in intellect ,
though weak in numbers , however , to
make the discussion over this question
quito interesting , In fact , to the young
people of all denominations , the action
of tlio conference with reference to the
Euworth league will bo the most impor
tant of tho-sossion. Tlio last Sunday In
May is sot apart aa Epworth league day
and persons who claim to know say that
the special meeting will bo a sort ol
jublloo for the Methodist young people
who expect by that time to have re
ceived the coveted general conference
endorsement.
TltK IIOMK I'A'i'liOXAdH MOVKMKXT.
It IB now about nine months ainco Till !
BKK began to agitate tlio subject of
homo patronage. It is scarcely six
months since the Manufacturers and
Consumers association was organized.
In this brief period , a largo part of it in
the dullest season of the year , tlio idea
of giving homo manufactures tlio prefer
ence , quality and price being equal , has
spread all over Nebraska. In Omaha
every homo factory has felt directly an
Improvement in trade , The whole as
pect of the future of homo industries
has brightened , nnd men who were dis
couraged because of the lack of local
patriotism have taken now heart. In a
single line of industry 15o additional
employes are engaged In this city as a
direct result of the movement. Local
nmnufueturors to a man are both pleased
anil astonished at tlio results achieved.
In the interior of the state a like in
terest in homo factories has been stimu
lated. The press of the state has echoed
and reinforced the sentiment of TltK
BKI ! upon this matter and every man
who has a factory has suddenly discov
ered that ho is in high favor among his
neighbors. Omaha consumes nearly the
entlro product of several canneries.
Nearly all the output of the Beatrice
starch factory is taken by Omaha deal
ers. Every Nebraska manufacturer
vho sells anything Omaha people buy is
certain to find hero a market.
The people of the interior of the state
mvo not yet grasped the idea as fully
is wo could wish. They are loyal al-
nest to a man to strictly local indus
tries. Greenwood mon smoke Green
wood cob pipes ; Beatrice people use
Beatrice starch , and Crete housewives
innko their broad from Crete Hour. This
, a right , but they do not generally em
brace the state in their patriotism. They
can aid in building up all the local In
dustries of Nebraska if they will call
upon their retail dealers for Nebraska
ijags , baking powder , barb wlrobaskots ,
blueing , boots , boxes , brooms , buttons ,
canned goods , cigars , crackers , rolled
oats , overalls , paper , safes , seeds , shoos ,
soap , starch , sugar , trunks , twine , vine
gar , yeast , etc. This should bo done ,
Lee , for tills homo patronage movement
cannot bo entirely successful unless It ia
made comprehensive enough to take in
tlio whole state.

The fact that the Now York republi
can convention did not instruct the dolo-
gates-at-largo to the national convon.
tion has permitted the opponents of
President Harrison to assume that the
sentiment of the convention was not fav
orable to his renominatlon , notwith
standing the cordial endorsement of the
president nnd the administration in the
speeches and in the platform. Tlio se
lection of ox-Senators Platt and Miller
ns delegates , both of whom are alleged
to have grievances , ia cited aa evidence
that the ropublicana of Now York do not
want Harrison as the candidate , and
other reasons , notdifllcult of invention ,
are put forward to justify this view.
These who profess to bollovo that the
Now York delegation will antagonize
the president at Minneapolis will find
no encouragement in the opinions of
some of tlio most prominent members
of the stale convention. Judge Robert
son , who lias boon conspicuous in repub
lican polities in tlio Empire state for
many years , said in an interview since tlio
convention that ho was heartily In favor
of the ronomination of President Harrison
risen , but as to the matter of instructing
a delegation lie did not think it wise to
do so when the time for voting was so
many weeks in the future. It baa been
the understanding among the repub
licans of Now Yorc ! since 1880 , when the
delegation from that state was instructed
for Grant , that the delegates from that
state to a national convention should not
bo instructed for any candidate coming
from another state. Judge Noah Davis ,
also a leader of prominence nnd in-
llucnco , said that the impression that
prevailed among the delegates at the
state convention.was not only that the
president will bo ronominatca , but that
it is best that ho should bo. "I do not
believe , " said Judge Davis , "that there
will bo in the national convention the
shadow of opposition from Now York to
the president's ronomination. "
Mr. Dopow , who is one of the dolo-
gatos-at-largo , is stated to bo openly and
emphatically for the ronomination of
tlio president , and other prominent re
publicans in the state liavo expressed
themselves in a similar way.
There is no significance whatever in
the omission of instructions by the state
convention , because it was in accord
with the policy of Now York repub
licans except when that state lias a can
didate , and moreover it was unnecessary
after the hearty and unqualified en
dorsement of the president. It is doubt
less true that Mr. Platt and Mr. Miller
have had grievances against the admin
istration. They are loaders of factions ,
and President Harrison started out
with the purpose , which ho has firmly
adhered to , not to countenance factional
conflicts and to ignore these who were
responsible for thorn. This has pre
vented both Platt and Miller obtaining
from the administration the recognition
they desired. But it was necessary to
send their to Minneapolis in the inter
est of party harmony , and they will go
there with the intention , it is not to be
doubted , of obeying the will of the re
publicans of Now York , which it has
boon most clearly and strongly indi
cated is favorable to the ronomination
of Benjamin Harrison.
THE difllculty of locating Senator
Gorman as a factor in the democratic
presidential problem is not the least
among the perplexing features of the
political situation. There appears to
bo no doubt that the Maryland senator
is entirely willing to bo the candidate ol
his party , nnd the impression is tliut ho
is making various combinations with
thai end in view. . To ascertain what
and where these nro ia the trouble.
When David B. Hill first wont to Wash
ington it was understood that ho and
Gorman had made a compact. Later il
was said that the Marylander , seeing
iho decline of Ilio Now Yorker , had
broken witli him and sought an alliance
with Cleveland , v. statement which ac
quired some plausibility from the action
of the Maryland democratic convention.
Still Inter came the announcement thai
the relations between Gorman and Hill
were entirely friendly , and thai so far
ns the presidential nomination was concerned -
corned , there had never boon any under
standing between thorn. It has also
boon reported that the Maryland sena
tor had manifested n great deal of inter
est in Senator Palmer , and that lie was
contemplating sending an envoy lo Gov
ernor Boles. All this tends to make
Mr. Goinmna rather interesting figure
in Iho democratic situation. If the
nomination at Chicago depended on
adroit and skillful political scheming
certainly the Maryland senator could
hold his own with any one now in the
list of nossiblo candidates.
THOMAS B. UKKI > of Mai no cannot af
ford to damage his great roputatioi
by antagonizing President Harrison
Everybody will know in a short time
that Hood's motive is revenge and this
is too unmanly to oe given 'plnco in bin
) lg heart. Mr. Heed has never forgiven
ho president for appointing n man col-
cctor of the port nt Portland who was
endorsed by the "senators from Maine
and opposed by himself. Under the
circumstances , iiowLviy , the ox-spoakor

THIS conclusive answer to the asser
tion thai ImmlgrA/oh tends to lower
wages is the fact that , although about
0,000.000 aliens have como into the
United States during the past twelve
, 'onrs , the price of labor baa not fallen ,
jut on the contrary wngos In most
employments have advanced. Ono of
the most careful statisticians in the
country states that In 18SO they were
higher oven than during the paper
nonoy period , or the inflation period ,
or the period of the excessive demands
of the war , while general wages were
higher in 1890 than in 18SO by from 10
to 40 per cent , according to the grndo
of the workman. This authority says
that during iho twenty-seven years
since 1805 , subject to temporary vari
ations and fluctuations , there has
boon a steady advance In the
rates of wages , a steady roil to-
tion in the cost of labor per unit of
product , and a corresponding reduction
in the prlco of goods of almost every
kind to tlio consumer , yet it was during
this period that the tide of Immigration
was highest. The truth Is , as the
authority already referred to says ,
Lhoro has never boon a porlod In tlio
history of Ibis counlry when the
general rate of wages was as high as it
Is now , or the prices of goods relatively
to the wages aa low as they are today , nor
a porlod when the workmanin the slrlcl
sense of the word , has BO fully secured
to his own use nnd enjoyment such a
steadily and progressively increasing
proportion of n constantly increasing pro
duct All the facts nnd conditions tend
to. prove thai Ihoro ia nothing to fear
from n continuance of Immigration , BO
far ns it consists of the intelligent and
the capable.

settle the controversy , as Richards proposed
to ignore them and strive for the position
himself. This statement Is now borne out
by the Fremont Tribune , Richards' home
organ , which declares that the Instructions
could only bo binding on the four dele atos

It Is strikingly silly for republicans lo
make such a treacherous war on Rosewater ,
and al a time when the republican party of
Ibo state can ill afford it. It , is not a ques
tion whal transpired two jours ago. Il Is a
question as to what Is going to happen during
next summer nn.d fall. Maybe It wasn't nice
for Rosewatcr to style some of iho provin
cial press "JneUass baltorles , " yet ho didn't
hit far from tlio mark when 11 is considered
bow impolite this same provincial press bas
become. Drive Rosewater and THE Bun into
the Von Wyck field and they are loaders for
the people to follow by no means weaklings.

"In the interest of harmony" the action of
the republican convention In chasing
Webster and Richards as delegates and
Rosewater as committeomaa was wiso. This
Is not the year for Nebraska republicans to
wngo war upon cauh othor. It is not the
year to try to sit down upon anybody but a
democrat. Noxlyoar , if necessary , genllo-
mon , lot's have it out , according to the Mar
quis of Rosewater rules , but this year , a
truce lot it bo.

Il appears that Rosewater really won the

The resolution recommending Rosownter
is far short of an election. The committee-
mini is elected by nil the sixteen delegates.
The convention that elected Rosewater only
elected four of the sixteen. There Is yet
