IT is dilllcult to see what good olToct
the locution of the headijuartors of the
national committee of the people's party
nt Omaha would have on this city.

IT is amusing to road in the Now
York papers how hard their correspon
dents tr.v to find fault with Omaha entertainment -
tortainmont and how dismally they fail
when describing the Coliseum conven
tion.
SP.NATOKS Vest and Halo seem to bo
the boss quurrolors of the senate now.
Not content with warring over Carnegie
nnd Campbell they had a long fight tlio
other day on the sanitary condition of
the capllol.
A "HKKOIIMKK" tolls us that no liquor
was sold any of the people's pnrty dolo-
irates. This leaves some of that furious
flutburstirig quite inexplicable ; Up to
this time wo hud attributed these yells
simply to plain .Inly boor.
Tun river mid canal trnfllo of this
country is gradually declining in vol
ume , but it would bo unwise to abandon
it. It konps railroad rates down and if
steamboats and canal boats wore abol-
jfihcd wo would see an instant rise in
railroad rates.
JAY GOULD cannot got possession of
the Mexican railway to Panama. Presi
dent Din/ having refused $8,000,000 for
it. But if Jay really wishes the novelty
of owning a railroad wo are sure that
ho can buy the Stumptown & Hungry
IIollow line for that sum.
A great deal of the blame for the riot
at Homestead must rest upon Governor
PaUlson. It was his duty to respond to
the requisition of the shorilT and ho cer
tainly will bo responsible for any blood
shed or destruction of property that
may occur by reason of his course.
Two or the loading journals devoted
to railroad interests urge that all rail
roads unite in a universal sc.ilo of wages
for all classes of omoloyos on all roads.
Would such a plan work succossfullyV
It would seem as if ninny circumstances
and conditions might enter into the
problon.
IciNATit'R DONXKMA- had ono of his
characteristic days Thursday. Ho tried
to bulldoze the Ohautauqua at Council
BluITu , mid had a Vow with the manage

told a reporter that the people's party
would carry Pennsylvania this year. A
gruat day for Pugnacious.
Tim defeat of
Justin McCarthy was
not entirely unexpected in that Ulster
district. It is hoped that ho will bo
elected from another district , us his

from It the ablest and fairest minded

best men in Grout Britain.
CITY ATroiiNUYCONNni.i.'s assertion
before the council tli.it the closing
of Ninth street by the orouiion o'f a
union depot between Howard and Far-
nuiu would compel the city to pay an
amount ef damage that could not be
raised is basoloss. Ninth street Is
already elobcd south of-the old freight
yards , and the warehouses south of
Howard st reel would bo just as accessi
ble as they now are. The only dillor-
unco would be that drays and teams
would have to roach the warehouses
and frolghthousoti by way of Howard ,
.1 ones anil Lea von worth streets instead
of Ninth from r'arnum to Howaru.
Ninth Htroet north of Fnrnam would remain -
main open just the same as it is now.
There can lie no contention as to dam-
cjros by closing Highth ulreot from Fm-
iiiun south to the railroad tracks , be
cause Unit street is already practically
g- von over , and the purchase of the
biot'fya ' IxHwoon-Farimm and Howard for
i'o ) it purposes would do aw ly with the
t as ) t Eighth strut , t fur tratllc.
TIIKMfw ; .iinur run n .vjr
The council has appointed a committee -
too to confer with the union depot man-
tipcr.J with a view to reaching a settle
ment of the controversy now pending In
the courts. Two things are essential to
such a sottlomont. Uno Is the presence
of President Clark of the Union Paclllo
and General Manager Holdrogo of the
Burlington , who nlono have plenary
powers to make any compact or con
tract Unit will bo binding ; and the other
Is the nssont of John I ) . Howe , with
Ernont Stuht as an incident. Whatever
the views of the council committee may
bo. and despite the apparent willingness
of City Attorney Council to give up the
title deeds to the depot grounds , the
great majority of the tax paying cltl/.ons
of Omaha will uphold Mr. Howe in de
clining to withdraw the injunction suit
until the depot company gives ample
guncnntln * for the fulllllmont of its con
tract obligation , or in lieu thereof that
the city is to have a more capacious depot
in a inoro central location.
On matters involving their own affairs
the verbal promise of Mossty. Clark ,
Holdrogo and ICimball would bo as good
as their bond , but the citizens of Omaha
are not willing to bank on their verbal
promises on b'ohalf of a railroad com
pany. That has boon demonstrated to
bo very risky , not only in times long
past , but very recently , in connection
with the union depot.
It is dilllcult enough to enforce con
tract obligations assumed by railroads
when they are in black and white. Rail
road managers do not hesitate to violate
late agreements made among them
selves whenever It is to tlio interest of
their companies to do so.
The hue and cry about the damngo
and disgrace to Omaha by reason of the
wretched depot accommodations should
not inlluence our authorities. Wo have
boon damaged as much as wo can possi
bly bo , even if the depot remains unlln-
ishcd another year. If the union depot
company wants a clear title to Its depot
grounds it must either comply with the
contract inmlo with this city when the
questions of bonds and title wore sub
mitted to the voters , or they must inalco
substantial concessions that would jus
tify the abandonment of our right under
the contract to arbitrate the charges
for terminal facilities and the use of the
depot by roads that buck entrance to
Omaha.
Tills is not repudiation on the oart of
the city. It is simply tin enforcement of
our rights. It would bo far bettor to
give the company tlio SloO.OOO , or twice
that sum , for a commodious union depot
accessible to every railroad that wants
to cross the Union Pucilie bridge than to
cancel the $ loO,00 ( ) bonds and let the
company build a moro railway station
with arbitrary power to keep out other
roads by imposing oxcosjivo tolls or re
fusing altogether to admit them to a
joint use of the < depot.
Ono thing is certain. If the Nebraska
Central bridge and depot are built , then
the Union Pacific and Burlington will
bo obliged to open the gates to roads
that are willing to use their terminals.
But if the Nebraska Central project
should fail to materialize and Omaha
places herself at the tender mercies of
the Union Pacific * and the Burlington
roads by trading her birthright for a
moss of pottngo she will bo obliged to
content herself with the inconvenient
and innccoislblo depot in the middle of
the Tenth street viaduct for the next
twenty-live years.
n K.\VIH \ : ox 'inn CUIIIIKXCY.
The pi evidential candidate of the pee
ple's party , General J. B. Weaver , has
delivered a speech on the currency
which may fairly bo assumed to present
the arguments that will bo urged by the
party during the campaign. This utter
ance of the lender of the now Hat money
movement is therefore worthy of some
consideration.
Mr. Weaver stated that at the close of
the war the money of all kinds in iho
country amounted to over $2,000,000,000 ,
and there was 980 per capita among the
people using it that is , the people of
the north , estimated at 2,5,000,000. Now ,
as every \voil-inforinefl person knows ,
the only currency in circulation at that
time was of paper , and.on Juno i0 ! , 18(1(1 ( ( ,
the amount of this was in round num
bers * li8S,000,000 , or a little over 327 per
capita among the people using it. There
had been no coin in circulation for more
than live years , and at the date noted
the currency price of it gold dollar was
& 1..1I.
Tlio purchasing power'of the paper
money was consequently more than one-
third less than its face value , so that re
duced to a gold basis tlio per capita was
only about $17. According to the last
treasury report the total circulation
July 1 , 1802 , was in round numbers
81,000,000,000 , or over $21 per capita , es
timating the present population at
05,000,000. The truth is that the money
of the country available for circulation
lias never readied the amount stated by
General Weaver , and the par capita in
actual circulation is higher at this time
than over before. There has boon a
bloaiiy growth in the circulation sinca
187K , with the exception of ono year ,
18SO. the not Increase during the lust
liscul year being 'JlO.'l.OOO.OOO , an amount
certainly equal to tlio g/owth in tlio
population and business of the country
General Weaver repeated the stock
charge , bhown to bo groundless every
time it has boon made , that bllvor was
demonetized in this country by stealth ,
the truth being Unit the not of IS'Jf ,
which binuily dropped the coinu < ; o of
the hiuiidiml dollar , had been illsciib od
from time to time in congress for sev
eral yjiiru. Moreover , when it was
adopted silver \\as at a premium and
nobody sought to have it coined. .It was
more valuable as bullion th in as coin.
Tlio people's party candidate character
ized as nontioiibo the Idea that the free
coinage of silver would drive out gold
and cit'jso Kuropu to dump all its silver
upon this country. Uvory practical man
knows that the immediate ulTect of a
free coinage law would bo to load every
body having gold to hold It , and this
would result in putting it nt a premium ,
or what 1 the a imo thlntj , doprociatlnjr
the pu chasing power of silver.
The tioi.hury being required U ) re
ceive nil duos in silver , woulu soon bo
forced to suspend gold payments. This
would puuh the premium higher. The
money of the country would bo on a sil
ver bunls. In the meantime American
securities abroad would be rushed homo
for redemption and as long as gold
could bo obtained for thorn It would betaken
taken out of the country. As to Kuro-
pean countries sending their sliver hero
there Is not a reasonable doubt that they
would do so. Most of the nations of
Europe are anxious to secure more gold
nnd hold loss silver , and the adoption of
free coinage of silver by the United
Stales would bo their opportunity. It
is clear that before wo can make n
parity between gold and silver to justify
the free coinage of silver wo must bo
prepared to buy all Unit Is olTorod. The
stock of silver outside of the United
States exceeds $3,000,000,000. How
should wo take care of one-third of this
amount fn addition to the homo product ?
General Weaver says the foreigners
will exchange the silver for our com
modities , but do the producers of the
country desire to exchange their pro
ducts for a currency certain to steadily
depreciate ? As has boon well suggested
if the farmers of this country are to ho
benefited by getting gold for their pro
duct in England and being paid for it
in silver hoio at an advantage , because
it takes twenty pounds of silver to equal
ono of gold , would there not ben greater
advantage in being paid in copper at 100
pounds for ono of gold ?
The proposition of General Weaver
that this country should m\ko : money
for its own people wholly rogardlnss of
their financial and commercial relations
with the rest of the world Is hardly
worthy of serious consideration. Wo
arc a great commercial people , inter
ested in the commerce of the world to
the extent of moro than $2,000,000,000
per annum , and to assume that wo can
establish a monetary system hostile to
that of ether great commercial nations
without impairing our trade relations
with them shows dense ignorance of
sound economic principles.
General Weaver is just whore ho was
twelve years ago regarding the finan
cial question , but" there has been a great
deal of intelligent discussion given to
the subject since then , and tlio masses
of the people have become too enlight
ened to bo misled by Iho false teachings
of the advocates of a debased currency.
I'KOT/JCZVO.Y XUT IXrUhVllD.
The cll'ort of democratic senators to
make political capital out of the labor
troubles in Pennsylvania cannot bo too
strongly rebuked. There is no reason
or warrant for it , the simple truth being
that the outbreak at Homestead was of
a character that may occur anywhere.
To attempt to hold the policy of protec
tion responsible for It in the remotest
degree is preposterous. Labor riots re-
Hulling in loss of life and terrorizing
wliolo communities have been of fre
quent occurrence in free trade England ,
but no reasonable man over thought of
ascribing them to tint nolioy. Serious
difllcullies have occurred in this coun
try between employers and employes in
branches of business with which protec
tion has nothing whatever to do , and
undoubtedly such disturbances will hap
pen in the future.
Perhaps nothing bettor is to bo'ox-
pcctcd of democrats like Senator Voor-
hoes of Indiana than an attempt to use
an unfortunate ntTuir of this kind for
partisan advantage , and it is gratifying
to note the contrast to the position of
tin's rabid partisan of the attitude of
Senator Palmer. The Illinois senator
apprehended the true cause of the violent
lent outbreak , and whatever may bethought
thought of the proprielv and prudence
of his views regarding the course of the
workingmen , there Is nothing in his
utterance that can bo construed as in-
t on ( led to make political capital. Sena
tor Palmer is above such potty and con
temptible devices. It would bo well if
ether dcinccratie senators could profit
by his example.
It is noteworthy that in both the sen
ate and the house- the employment of
the Pinkerton force was unqualifiedly
condemned. Senator Palmer declared
that the proonc3 of this force at Home
stead was in contcmnt of the authority
of tlio state. In the house Mr. Bu
chanan said that such a body of men as
the Pinkortons was an anomaly in n
land of law and order , constituting as
it does a private and unauthorized
militia force. These expressions ap
peared to bo generally acquiesced in ,
and it was evident that congress had
been arouaod to a sense of the duty and
necessity of inquiring into the character -
actor of this dangerous system of main
taining a private armed force available
on demand for use against the people in
any part of the country.
Tin : report of the executive committee -
too of the Manufacturers association ,
under whoso auspices the lute NobniBlm
State exposition was hold in this city ,
shows that after paying all bills there
is $ lf > 00 left in the way of clear profit.
As the rules of the association prohibit
the incurring of debts by its olllcera ,
this sum , -though not largo , may be
found very useful in the preliminary
work for next year's exposition. Con-
eidering thr.t the management had
many dilllcultlos to contend with In this
first attempt to estn nhbh a btato exposi
tion as a permanent institution , the licr-
uroH are flattering. Next year they
will undoubtedly bo much larger.
Jon JIWKIISON assorts that "Mr.
Cleveland is the greatest statesman of
the ago. " But Joe had just returned
from his fishing visit at Buzzard's Bay
and may have taken too much "bait. "

Dr. Mercer has bj no means withdrawn
from the giibornntor nl moo truck , although
he is not making an aggressive canvass. If
his close friends coul d porsuudo him to make

would bo almost sure to sweep the county as
ho did two years nso. Ho m.'cht have Bad

of election in a national campaign year with

As to the falllnsfrout w'lth the cornralttuo ,
Dr. Alorcpr said a-fow day ago to a reporter ,
of Tin : BBC thaijaho cared inoro fTr-Qmnha
and her good name than ho did for Uie onico
of governor. If his competitors had "simply
waged their warfare ngnlnst him ho would
not have cared , but .thoy have sought to fun
the embers of sectional prejudice and for
months have slandered and abused Omaha
and hatched schemes to humiliate- and
crippln her politically , \ \ hlle ho had always
helped to build up every section of the
stnto aud taken pride in the growth of Ne
braska , ho had a right to resent the potty
spitoworic and Htrifn that scales to make
Omaha the target for outside politicians. It
was this fooling that prompted him to outer
an emphatic remonstrance nnd serve notice
on the anti-Omaha crowd that lie did not
care a straw whether ho was nominated for
governor or not.
It now transpires that there was trouble in
the Nebraska delegation when Von Wyck's
name was presented before the recent
national convention In this city in connection
with the presidential nomination. Jobn II.
Powers and his friends declared that they
would have nothing to do with it , and vowed
that Van Uyck should not rccolvo a second
from his own state. Tiioy hold steadfastly
to ttii3 position for some time , ana then would
only agree that bis nomination should bo
seconded with the distinct understanding
that Van \Vyck would Immediately withdraw
his name from the convention.
In withdrawing Van Wyck's name VHII-
acrvoort .stated that the ox-senator from this
stnto was the unanimous choice of ttio Ne
braska delegation nnd that they had stren
uously endeavored to induce him to allow his
name to remain before Iho convention , but
that bo had positively rofuscd .so to do.
Paul further said that Van WycK would bo
unanimously nominated for governor , nnd
elected next November , but It was noticeable
that ho kept his oyoi away from Powers all
the time that ho was making these state
ments. John H. was furious , and falling to
transfix Vandorvoort's corpulent frame with
a basilisk glance while on the platform , took
tlio doughty "colonel" to task after lie returned -
turned to his so.it.

lloro Is the way that piper answers the
questionTim : fool friends of Senator
Paddock insist that the Times U an antl-
Paddook paper , and that It must nocossarlly
light his re-election. The Tlmoi was estab
lished for the purpose of giving lha repub
licans ol Oago county n pap.ir that would nt
nil times champion their causo. Its aim is
to advocate principle , rather than man. If ,
however , the senator from the state of
Beatrice Insists that there is not room for
the Times upon this end of the later board ,
wo can go over to the othor. As a word of
friendly advice , wo would suggest that Mr.
Paddock muzzle his dogs. "

Tno indications are that the result of the
English elections will bo in favor of the liberals -
orals nnd that Mr. Ulndstoao will again bo
the prime minister of England. The liberal
majority in parliament cannot , however , bo
largn , mid if th o "grand old man" returns to
power ho may have a stormy nnd bnof rulo.
None the loss it will bo a great victory for
him. Out of the twenty-eight different
English ministries that hnvo hold onico in
this century only five have had n longer
term that Lord Salisbury's. Lord Liverpool
hold olllco fifteen years and Mr. Pitt seven
teen , but the average cnduranco of alt the
governments since HUB boon hut a little over
three years. Since 1820 only three govern
ments ucsldos Salisbury's have continued
fully six years these of Melbourne , Pal-
mcrston nnd BonconsCold. No man has
over boon prlmo minister four times , nnd
only two , Lord Derby nnd Mr. Gladstone ,
have hold that oftlco twico. If Mr. Glad
stone carries the pending election bo will
oud his career by a distinction which no
ether British statesman has onjoyod. There
Is no parallel In Eughsh history to Mr.
GlaJstfmo's case in many particulars , for no
British statesman of his year * over under
took the management of a hotly-contested
campaign upon so vital a question as homo
rule for Ireland ,

Ex-Promlor Crlspi has maao an effort to
show that the linanclal disorder in Italy is
temporary ; that It tins bean brought about
by the methods employed in the management
of taxation rather than by the exigencies of
the -state ; and that the present armament ,
instead of having been duo to the triple alli
ance , hardly audioes for the defense of tlia
nation. It Is , of course , true that when the
unity of Italy wus established the country
wus without ports , railways , army or navy ;
and that in order to make propsr provision
for tboso a grout outlay was necessitated.
But , hi spite of all the specious arguments of
Signer Crlspi , the fact remains that Italy
became u party to tbo triple alliance in 1S3- ,
and that it was not until after that time-
namely , In 18S4 that the army was dollmtcly
organized nnd the extraordinary military ex
penditures were begun.
Slgnor Crispl lays uroat stress upon
Franco's incrouso of her war nnd navy
budget since 18"0 ; but if wo accept the us-
sortlon that all that Italy has done has been
solely for defense , and not for n war of ng-
L-rosslon , the comparison falls pointless.
Slgnor ( Jrlspl knows that aggression was not
the motive which prompted the exceptional
efforts of Franca , for ho bays that the de
feats of 1870 nro preparing the hour of ro-
vongo. Ho alludes to the Franco-Husslan
alliance 'as n danger to the liberty of Europe.
But oven if this should bo taken for granted ,
it must not bo forgotten that this ulllanco
would never have been formed bad it not
bean that Franco found herself isolated
through the union between Italy , Austria
nnd Germany.

Norway has always been nn unwilling
member of the union with Sweden. Forced
by the treaty of Kiel In 1811 to submit to
that union , it has over since compelled the
moro powerful country to recognize its
autonomy , In snlto of tbo lattor's greater
size. Within n comparatively fovv years , n
qulckoulng of intelligence , especially evi
denced in the literary productions of the
country , has taken place. The essayists nnd
novelists have doubtless only reflected the
Internal thought of the people , and have
served as Uoussuau did in Franca and ns
Tolstoi It now doinir In Uussia rather as the
Index than ns the controlling force in the
present crisis. Nevertheless , their power
hus boon very grout. Not only in Norway ,
but in Sweden albo , they have wakened an
earnest love for liberty and hnvo down wide-
cast the desire for self government. In
February , 1SU1 , a motion similar to the 0110
now bolng agitated was granted m the
Storthing , but tha movement was op
posed by all believers in the union and
in the present monarchical system , bu-
cause It was thought to bo the entering
wedge to disruption and to tbo establishment
of n republican form of government. Tno
concession was refused finally by n majority
of four , and the minister resigned. M. Steun ,
who bus Just followed his predecessor's
example , was thun olooted as a compromise
candidate , but it Is evident that ho , lee , has
failed , and there would now seem to bo only
two courses open to the natlous to arbitrate
or to separate. In all probability the latter
will bo tlio ultimata outcome , and this will
almost certainly rotult In the formation of u
Norwegian republic. The iiooplo are wall
fitted for this form of government. They are
strong , self-reliant and Intelligent , and ,
while the result may long bo delayed , it is
wholly possible that a few years may ore
the establishment of u now ana most wel
come member of the republican ayatuin In
the transformation of Norway from a de
pendency on * a kingdom to uu iudopundout re
public.

St. Louis Hepubllo : It U not necessary to
defend the lockod-out workingmen In their

cops crimlnls In n oronch of the peace , but
they are not responsible for yesterday's
tragedy nt the Cnrhoglo iron works. They

his own points. Ho encountered nt Hotno-

Boston Glouo ( dom. ) : Tlio discussions In
the national convention of thn people's pnrty
at Omaha have cortnlnlv variety and origin
ality enough to please the most notional of
social philosophers. They have at least the
merit of being fresh and suggestive of the
sweet by-und-by of millennial perfection.

Cincinnati Commercial ( rep. ) . The pee

nnd touches even the ermine of the bench.
The people are demoralized. " Ills doubtful ,
however , thnt if the people's party had the
opportunity it would institute another form
of trovernmont that would be nny bettor.
PhilaJolphiaLodger ( rop. ) : At presnnttho

party of 187IJ nnd 1SSO. or It may. like the republican -
publican party of isr > li , bocin the disintegra
tion of old parties and start a division on now
nnd perhaps soctloi.nl linos. It is not a party
to excite the apprehension of republicans or
democrats nt this time ; yet neither is it a
party to bo ignored by these who would
pierce the veil of futurity.
Now York Tribune ( rop. ) : The platform
ndoptod by the people's pnrty convention at
Omaha will not attract notice because of the
uovolty of its propositions. They have n fa
mlliar sound the subtronsury plan , "or n
bettor system ; " free colnneo of snvor ; gov
ernment ownership of railroads , tolopraphs

Those nro the principal features of the pint-
