TlIK XATIUXAIt CO.V.VfTTB/J.
The organization of the ronublicnn na
tional committee will undoubtedly bo
Bntlsfactory to Iho party at largo. From
what is said of lion. W. J. Campbell of
Illinois , the chairman of the committee ,
by these who have knowledge of hh
qualifications for managing a political
campaign , his selection was manifestly
wise. It was judicious , also , to tnko a ,
man from Illinois , the homo of the
democratic candidate for vice president.
Of course there Is not the slightest prob
ability of that Btato being carried by
the ( ItimoeraU next November , but they
will make n vigorous light there , and It
Is well to have the man who Is to con
duct the republican campaign familiar
with Illinois politic * .
Equally judicious was the selection of
Hon. Tom C.trtor of Montana for secre
tary of the committee. Ho is very pop
ular in hi ? own state , which is generally
placed on the doubtful list , and ho Is a
thoroughly capable politician. Mr.
Carter exhibited rare tact and judg
ment In the work ho did for President
Harrison at Minneapolis , showing him-
Bolf possessed of exceptional sUlll and
ability in political management. Ho
will undoubtedly , ns secretary of the
committee , give stronger evidence of
his exceptional qualifications. The se
lection of Mr. Do Young , udltor of the
San Francisco Chronicle , as vice chair
man was wise and will have a good ef
fect upon the coast stato3.
Tlio unanimity with which these of
ficers wore ohof.on evidences complete
harmony in the committee and gives
assurance that the campaign will bo con
ducted by the men selected for that
Important tusk without any bickerings
or misunderstandings which might in
terfere with a vigorous and aggressive
management. The fact is recognized
that the republican party has before ittv
contest which , as was said by Mr.
Fnssott of Now York , will put to the test
the inotllo of every republican , and that
in order to win the party must bo united
and harmonious. Especially is it im
portant and necessary that there bo no
disaffection or serious disagreements in
the national committee , and it will bo
gratifying to republicans to know
that there tire none and that the pro
mise is I hat all the members of the com-
in it lie will work zealously and heartily
for the party's success. The inlluonco
of this upon the party throughout the
country will bo good , inspiring it with
zeal and confidence. The sigua are pro
pitious , the conditions nro favorable to
republican victory , but in order to
achieve victory the party must bo har
monious , vigilant and aggressive.
Till ) IMPRISONED AA'AIICHISTS.
Representatives of many labor unions
nnd other organizations in Chicago are
making n united effort , to secure the
pardon of Oscar Noobo , Michael Schwab
and Samuel Fieldou , the anarchists who
are in the ponitoniiary ut Joliet for par
ticipation in the Haymarkot riot , which
took plnco in Chicago on May 4 , 18SO.
It is not necessary to dwell upon the
nature of the crime for which these moil
wore imprisoned. The public passed
judgment upon their case long ago.
There never lias boon any doubt of their
guilt and the interests of social order
require that they shall pay the full
penalty imposed by the law. Buc oven
if it bo admitted that they huvo been
bufliciontly punished and that the peni
tence which they profess is genuine , it
is very unfortunate that the labor
organizations should have baon induced
to take measures looking to their re-
loaso. No doubt those who are con
cerned in this movement constitute
only a small fraction of the organized
bodies of which they are members , but
in so far us they are proceeding in the
name of labor unions they are doing
harm to the interests of all working-
men.
Through no fault of the great peace-
loving musses embraced by these unions
they have become associated in the
minds of many people with anarchistic
notions nnd turbulent procoedings.
Such men as Noobo nnd Schwab
and Fioldon have done immeasur
able injury to the worklngraon of
America by creating the Impression in
some quarters that they are representa
tives of the ideas and purposes of the
labor organizations. The rights and
privileges of the worklnginon cannot bo
protected nor can their interests in any
way bo subserved by the championship
of men who have no respect for \i\\v \ and
order. On the contrary , they are euro
to suffer by any action which Identified
them , oven remotely , with such men.
They need the best public Huntlmont on
their side nnd are sure to have it if they
frown upon every movement that
threatens social disorder.
Lot the worklngmon refrain from in
teresting themselves in behalf of the
imprisoned anarchists ; or at least lot
them take care to do nothing In that di
rection in the name of organized labor.
run I'lioininnuN COXYKNTIOV.
The national convention of the pro
hibition party will meet in Cincinnati
today. Representation in this conven
tion is based on the vote polled by the
party in the different states instead of
on the number of congressmen and sen
ators a plan which it is proposed shall
bo adopted hereafter for republican
conventions. The number of delegates
in the prohibition convention , if nil at
tend , will ba 1,001 , and it is expected
that everybody who has a right to a
boat will be present.
Tills will be the sixth convention of
the prohibition party to nominate presi
dential candidates. In the last live
presidential elections the vole of the
party was as follows :
IBTi 0.007
1S70 0,7:17 :
18SO 0,078
1SSI IfiO.OiU
1SS3 ! MU,95 !
This shows a considerable growth in
the prohibition vote during the past
twelve years , though not so grout as the
party expected. The Ic rulers are figur
ing on polling 1,000,000 votes this year ,
but the result will doubtlubs tihuvv that
this Is an extravagant expectation. Ac
cording to the advices from Cincinnati
thoH'JL'getftion that the prohibition party
should amalgamate with the people's
party Is not likely to receive borlous con
sideration. It is also said that there
will bo nodtlllculty In finding men will-
in ) ; to accept the nomination ( or the
presidency , there bolng several who nro
vigorously cultivating a. boom. With
regard to the platform , It is stated ihat
the silver issue will probably cause trou
ble Mill doubtless , there will bo a com-
protnlso of views nnd a straddle.
The taking of.prohlbltlon into politics
hns not boon helpful to the cause. It Is
worthy of nolo thatslnco 1831 only two
states. North nnd South D.ikotu , have
plnt'od prohibition In their constitutions ,
while during this perlo.l thirteen atatos
huvo voted on prohibitory amendments
to tlioir constitutions and rejected them ,
namely : Now Hampshire , Massachusetts ,
Rhode Island , Connecticut , Pennsyl
vania , Michigan , Nebraska , Oregon ,
Washington , Tennessee , West Virginia ,
Mississippi nml'T.exas. In nil of those
states except Michigan the majority
against prohibition wiis largo and de
cisive. High license .and restriction
have very generally followed the defeat
of prohibition , uniformly with results
that have boon satisfactory to the
people nnd have vindicated the wisdom
of their adoption.
While the prohibition vote In the
country at largo has roa.lt/oJ ti consid
erable growth in the last eight years ,
in the larger states the vote has not In
creased in into years , nnd wherever
high license prevails the affect is to
reduce the prohibition vote for the
reason that that system , when properly
enforced , appeals to the support of intel
ligent and practical pooplo. Prohibi
tion , on the other hand , has failed of its
purpose wherever it hwi boon adopted
and has also boon a drawback to the
material prosperity of the states having
it. Nevertheless wo shall , as usual , bo
told by the platform of the Cincinnati
convention that prohibition has been
everywhere an unqualified success.
A COXSTITUTIOXAL QUKST10X.
The platform adopted by the dom o
cratlo party at Chicago says : "Wo de
clare it to bo the fundamental principle
of the democratic party that the federal
Government has no constitutional power
to impose or collect tariff duties , except
for the purposes of revenue only , and wo
donand that the collection of such taxes
shall bo limited to the necessities of the
government , honestly and economically
administered. "
This is the first time in all Its history
that the democratic party has taken this
ground. Never before has it dared to
deny the authority of the constitution
for the imposition of tariff duties. In
many democratic national conventions
there have boon free traders who desired
to have such -a declaration made , nut
they have always hitherto been In the
minority and the party has novar until
now in ado an attack upon the republican
tariff position upon the ground that it
is not constitutional.
It is intorostitig to note that the de
mocracy of today has gouo back many
years for its tariff plank. The nullifica
tion convention that assembled nt Col
umbia , S. C. , November 19 , 1832 , passed
an ordinance repudiating the tarill leg
islation then In force in the United
States , and this action virtually put
South Carolina outjof the union. Less
t'nan a month later President Jackson
issued liis proclamation against nullifi
cation , in which ho said : "A conven
tion assembled in the state ot South
Carolina have passed an ordinance by
which they declare that the several acts
and parts of acts of the congress of the
United States , purporting to bo the
laws for the imposing of duties and im
posts on the importation of foreign
commodities , and now having actual
effect and operation within the Urn ted
States , and more especially two acts for
the same purpose passed on the 20th of
May , 1628 , and on the 14th of July ,
1882 , are unauthorized by tli9 constitu
tion of the United States and violate
the true meaning and Intent thereof ,
and are null and void and no law , " etc. ,
otc. Jackson's proclamation against
the nullification declared by the South
Carolina democrats is ono of the solid
rocks upon which his enduring fame
rests. The democrats of our day often
call themselves J icksontans and try lo
bolster up their watk : cause by using hla
name. But they have now once moro
proclaimed the same fnlso doctrine that
aroused the Ire of Old Hickory when
nullification was rampant in South
Carolina sixty years ago.
There Is another interesting fact to bo
noted in connection with the now demo
cratic tariff plank. It is a repetition of
a clause in the confederate constitution ,
which declares that no duties nor taxes
on foreign importations shall bo laid to
promote or foster any industry.
The democracy of this day is looking
backward for its inspiration. It is liv
ing In a past age. It finds its prece
dents in nullification and rebellion. For
many years It has juggled with the
tariff , and now nt the close of the nine
teenth century it has reached the con
clusion that was reached long ago by
the nulllllors and confederates , namely ,
that urotootion is a violation of the con
stitution of the United States.
The democrats have never failed to
blunder in framing their platforms , but
this is the first time they have over
gene back to nullification and the con
federate constitution for a. tarilT plunk.
TlIK folly of giving the contract for
furniture for the now city hull to out
siders instead of favoring homo manu
facturers is now apparent. The furni
ture sent by the Kqteliam company in
( aid to ho by no means up to the quality
demanded by the contract and it is
prybable that the council will reject it ,
There was it strong sentiment against
the making of this contract , and it Is
now evident that the city will suitor an
noyance and delay its the penalty for
golntr away from homo for furniture that
could h.ivo boon obtained hero.
TUB bill to establish a uniform system
of bankruptcy was reported to the house
of representatives on Monday uud is now
on the calendar. This gives promise of
action on the measure at the present
session. There Is it very general deslro
on the part of the business Interests of
the country for the enactment of a na
tional bankruptcy law , nnd both parties
in congress ought to bo disposed to re
gard this wish. The fact should bo
recognized that it great change has taken
place within a few years in the view of
commercial circles us to the necessity
for such legislation. The former law
was BO wrotohod jUj.ul In Ha operation
that there was nnuirally croulcd n wide
spread prejudice I against n national
bankruptcy lu j- , | ) Ut this fooling has
largely disappeared , : tnd In the west es
pecially , where jftho prejudice was
strongest , the Bflntlmont Is general
among business m n that there ought to
bo a uniform system of bankruptcy. The
existence o ! almost its-many systems ns
there are states eannoVbo in tholntoroat
of justice , und since It Is practically lm-
possible to secure uniformity in Plato
laws It is necessary to have a national
law. As there IP nothing political in
this matter , and It Is something which
the business Interests of the country are
almost unanimous in asking for , there
does not appear to bo any good reason
why congress should not dispose of it
at once. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ,
TJIK f.tto of the nntl-options bill In the
Bonato Is still somewhat uncertain ,
although it is the opinion of Senator
Vest that It will pass. It appears that
thu'commitleo having the measure in
charge Is divided on It , a majority being
opposed to it , probably on constitutional
grounds , and that two reports on it will
biTiuado to the senate , one for and the
other against A final vote of the com
mittee on the bill is ox pooled to bo had
tomorrow , nnd in that case the measure
may bo reported to the sonnlo this week.
It will doubtless receive very full dis
cussion , nnd this is to bo desired ,
especially by the friends of the bill , on
whoso side the weightol argument rests.
So far as the constitutional objection is
concerned it does not appear to have
much strength , but it will bo Interesting
to observe what can bo made out of it.
The agricultural , producers of the coun
try are nearly unanimous in demanding
this legislation , which they profoundly
buliuvo to bo necessary to the protection
of their interests , and both parties in
congress would do well to respect their
wish.

THE fact that exports of produce from
the United Stales for Juno are proceed
ing nt tin average gain of 25 per cent
over Iho. heavy shipments of May Is a
favorable indication , and this with the
excellent crop prospects and the in
creased business in nearly nil lines of
manufacture will tend to strengthen
public confidence in the prosperity of
the country and stimulate business in
every branch. There is some disturb
ance and uncertainty in Iho iron trade ,
but in all ether lines the outlook con
tinues good.

It has been it long time since n genuine
sensational cato has hold the boards In the
criminal division of the district court. To
day them Is ono on trial which Is scnsn-
tlonru In the extreme , and us n result it
draws a pack-id house.
The tltlo is simply the state ngninst Nich
olas F"ox. Thli convoys but llttlo inforina *
tion , though the fnuts furnish n gaping
crowd uny amount of sensational food.
Tlio prisoner at the bar Is n wile murderer
and n woutd-bo sulcldo. The tragedy wni
committed In a small collage ntTwonty-
sovontu anil tlgaii streets , South Omaha , on
the morning of'Decembor aj , 1S01. The vln-
tlm was Charity Fox. Early In the morning
of that day Kox llrcd n bullet Into his wife's
body , from the effects of which she died a
few hours Inter ,
Tills morning , when taken Into court , Fox
appeared moro like some hugo animal than
a human being. Ho is over six foot
in height , weighing V00 ! pounds. His
shoulders nro stooped and carry a largo head
covurud with n heavy shock of uuKompl blnoit
hair. To add to his wlclied and ropulslvo
appearance , ho has n board of several \\oolts
growth , which sUnds out in every direction.
For woelts he hns bcc-n playing the Ininno
dodge , and today when removed ttom Iho
siool cairo tn Iho jail ho howled ,
.vullod nnd beat the Moor of the cell.
Ilatulcuffs were slipped over his wrists anil
leg irons ovrr his ankles , and In this con
dition ho was led into the court room.
Then ho took In the surroundings and with
a loud roar settled Into u chair. A moment
later ha commenced to rave , but was quickly
brought to time by Sherltl Bennett and
Jailer Millor. who tightened up a long towel
that hud boon twisted about tuo murderer's
hroat.
During the entire session ho gnzcd about
the court room , paying too much attention lethe
the proceedings for a mau who was bereft of
reason ,
KullovuU "I Ills Iliilr ,
After the afternoon session Fox prosoutcd
nn Improved appearance as ho sallied Into the
courtroom. JJuring the naon rncossacouplo
of lusty Jailer * thro.v him to the floor , bound
him hand und foot and then suavod his head
and beard. The process did not have thu
same effect upon Fox that the shearing Is
alleged to have hud on Samson of old , for it
deprived him of nouo of his strength , ns
Sheriff Bennett nnd Jailer Miller will testify.
Tbo work of securing the jury wont bravely
on and nt the adjournment of court twelve
mon good and true had been secured who will
hoar the testimony , after which they will de
liberate and determine whether Nicholas
Fox is guilty of the foul crime of murder.
This morning the attorneys will state the
case to the Jury , after which tbo testimony
will begin. County Attorney Mnhonoy will
produce the revolver from which the fatal
ball was flred nnd the razor with which Fox
attempted to take his own life. Tlio state
has only six or savon witnesses and Iho in
tention is to close the prosecution by noon.
Tbo dufnnso will make a stubborn light , but
will not introduce any testimony to disprove
the commission of the crime. A number of
experts have boon called , all of whom will
give testimony as to the mental condition of
the murdoror.
UopoHltlong from Fox's Former Homo.
Just hoforo the adjournment of court last
evening a score of aupasttions of parlies re
siding at Valparaiso , lnd.t wcro opened. It
was in this locality that Fox resided for
many years prior to his removal lo South
Omaha.V. . J. Henry has lustillod that ho
know Fox for many years , and Hint when
excited hu would slap his head and declare
that an iron band was cutting into his brain.
Henry will also testify that Fox was Insane ;
that ho worked for him in the capacity of a
well driller , nnd that at ono time when
sent for a horse power fourteen miles
away lie forcot what ho wont after.
11. C. Coats , a physician , in a deposition ,
has volunteered the testimony that.Fox was I
a maniac for a number of years while re
siding in Indiana.Vhcna young man ho
wus struck on the head oy a bltintlnstruinent ,
and after that his mind was not right.
Another doctor , U. J. Lorlng , who resides
in Indiana , has sworn in a deposition that ho
treated Fox for melancholy , and during all
of the time the murderer was laboring under
the opinion that his wlfo was untrue.
John UaPoll know Fox from the time ho
was 18 years of ago. During these early days
the younp man would frequently sav to tbo
proplo who were in his companvVbot a
Chrlstly pain I had In my hoad. " BaPoll is
surothat Fox is an Insane man.
Thomas G. Miller had known Fox for
years , in fact , from the time when ho was n
lad. Even wheii'Foxwaj ' n boy ho smokca
twelve cigars a day and frequently drank a
quart of liquor botwoan sunnso und sunset.
Miller was afraid of Fox , so he sa'd , for ho
regarded him as a bad man , ono who would
not hosltato to take a human lifo.
Then follows u lot of testimony that shows
that Fox cumo from n family ulllicted with
insanity. Some committed suicide , .somo hud
boon cured , while others had died in mad
houses.
Notlc'iiil Iiy Ills Family.
In a deposition , John Fox , a brother , has

night and chase n round the house , declaring

thing she could think of , but all Vas
without avail. Although a child , I rend
