Now lot Omaha pet to the front ;
there in no more reason for delay. It is
simply miraculous that this city does
grow BO rapidly and well when it has so
many mossbacks and grumblers to write
whoso obitua ios would bo a pleasant
task.
MINNESOTA republicans will nominate
Knute Nelson , the most popular man in
the stnto. for governor. There are to bo
no bad breaks made by South Dakota ,
Iowa or Minnesota this year either in
platforms or men , and Nebraska must
follow their example.
YKS , Major McKinley must feel brave
to board the lion of wind in his homo at
Lincoln. Wo fancy wo fool the gov

Bryan , and so no cyclone is probable.
THE fight In Now York city in this
campaign is between the millionaire
manufacturers and millionaire im
porters. Ono class obtained its wealth
by furnishing employment to American
laborers , and the other by furnishlnc
employment to the laborers of Europe.
The America ! ) people uro with the first
class.
Till ! enthusiasm which the candidacy
of General Warner is arousing in Mis
souri in simply indescribable. His open
ing of the campaign at Sedalia on
Wednesday called together over 20,000
Btrangors , among them many prominent
democratic business men. The Kansas
City Slur , a strong democratic paper , is
supporting 111 in and the old regime of
mlsrulo and extravagance in that state
is certainly over.
Wl5 HKUEVK that a oily like an indi
vidual him nothing to gain by exaggera
tion and fictitious claims of growth or
business activity. The J'ukc Factory
figures out a population of 187,271 for
Onuilm on the basis of 7 for each pcr-
EOII of school ngo. The trouble with
these figures in that fi or 5J is the
highest multiple. Omaha is holding
her own with excellent prospects of
marked growth during the coming
year , but t > ho cannot truthfully claim to
Iwvo liicroused population by-17,000
since the census watt taken.
TUB demand for harvest hands in the
northwest is urgent Wheat is being
cut In the southern part ot South
Dakota , and It is reported that the
farmoiB great'y ' four u heavy loss in
consequence of iv luck of help. Men for
harvesting are also needed in southern
Minnesota , and within two weeks there
will bo a demand from North D.ikota.
It la estimated that at least -10,000 hands
will bo needed In the harvest Holds of
the northwest , and undoubtedly the
farmers will pay well for holp. It will
bo unfortunate Indeed if any consldor-
nblo amount of the wheat crop shall bo
lost , as was the case lust year , because
the necessary labor cannot ho had , whan
there uro HO many Idle men In the
larger cilia * of the country

The democratic platform says : "Wo
rccon.m and that the prohibitory 10 per
cent tax on state bank Issues bo re
pealed. " Mr. Cleveland did not refer
to this recommendation in lifs speech at
Madison Square garden last week , and
it is not known what ho thinks of it.
Ho may fina It convenient lo overlook
this plank ot the platform when ho
writes his formal letter of acceptance.
The people are also ignorant of the
views of Mr. Stevenson regarding this
demand of the democratic platform , but
that may not bo important , The cnndl-
date for vice president Is not supposed
to know much about financial or
economic questions , llo is peculiarly
the representative of the opposition to
the ' 'force bill , " the bogy which is beIng -
Ing used to keep the south solid for the
democracy. There is reason to bollovo
that Mr. Stevenson has been given lo
undordttum that ho is expected to mnko
this the keynote of his part in the cam
paign.
At any rate , the recommendation is
firmly fixed In the platform , nnd whether
endorsed by the candidates or not it
unquestionably has the approval ot a
largo majority of the party. At least
ono measure has boon introduced in the
house of representatives by a democrat
for the repeal of the tax on stulo bank
issues , and , while there is no probability
that any action will bo taken * at the
present session , if the house to bo
oloctcd next November should bo demo
cratic a bill to repeal the tax will be
passed by that body. The democratic
party Is fully committed to the rostor-
n'tion of a state bank currency , which
would give the country after a time
Huch u circulating moilium as it had
thirty years ago , when It was flooded
with a wildcat paper currency , the
greater part of which was either nt. n
discount or worthless ton miles from the
'banks ' that issued it.
As a contemporary remarks , in these
days men who sold their f.irms for stnto
bank currency and wont to bed content
Bomotimcs awoke next morning to find
that n largo part of their purchnso
money was literally worthless. Only
the notes of well known banks were
taken by 'tradesmen without a close
search ot the detectors , .vhich did not
always defend against unsafe banks.
The fao1. w.is that between the counter
feiter and the fraudulent banker men
had almost no security nnd constant
anxiety. Labor was a largo loser from
this currency , for unscrupulous employ
ers would pay in currency at a discount
and pocket the dilToronco. There were
a few banks in the country , chiefly in
the east , whoso issues were redeemed in
gold and therefore passed current every
where , but an extremely smull number
of such notes got Into general circula
tion or over found their way into the
pockets of the wagoworkors.
The democratic party would not hesitate -
tate to restore stuto bank currency if it
had the power. The south especially
wants it done , and northern democrats
will accede lo the wishes of that section.
While , therefore , this question cannot
bo regarded as an issue in the campaign ,
it is u matter not to bo lost sight of by
these interested in maintaining u sound
currency.
JS.I WOIXTUD.
A remarkable and highly interesting
outcome of the shooting of Manager
Prick at Pittsburg is the hostility of the
anarchists toward the loaders of the
strikers who have expressed their dis
approval of the assault. It is said -that
O'Donnoll has received a number of
loiters from * Now York and Chicago an
archists censuring him severely for his
lack of appreciation of the efforts which
the ' 'rods' ' are making in behalf of or
ganized labor nnd workingmon's rights.
It is ono of the best signs of the time
that honest laboring men are repudiat
ing the interference of the anarchistic
crowd in their battle with the capital
ists. The public scented danger the
moment that it was reported thut An
archist Bergman had assaulted the man
ager of the Homestead works. It was
anticipated Ihis would provo lo bo but
the beginning of a scries of ntlompts
upon the lives of the rr.on against whom
the strikers are contending. But that
fear has-been allayed by the conserva
tive and manly utterances of the loaders
of the strike , and it now seems reasona
ble to bcliovo that the danger of an out
break of anarchistic fury is past. Lot the
loaders go on in Iho course which Ihoy
are now taking loward Iho avengers.
They have no use for such people and
will maico friends by saying so. Tnoir
wo at enemies at present are the an
archists who profess Urbo their frionds.
TJIK I'OljlTICS OF ANA11G11Y.
The candidates of the democratic
party for president and vice president
have both altomptod lo use the doplor-
nblo labor troubles in Pennsylvania for
partisan purposes. Domocnitib senators
and representatives in COIIUTCSB have
done the same thing. In his epoouh
when formally notified of Ma nomina
tion Mr. Cleveland referred by implica
tion tn the Ilomostoad conlrovory as
ovldonco that under the system of pro
tection labor is receiving hardly enough
WIXETOS to purchase the bare necessaries.
Yet the fact U that the mun at Homestead -
stead wore bettor paid thun mon in
similar employment anywhere else in
the world , and many of thorn own their
homes and had accumulated money.
Mr. Stevenson has on several occasions
nlludnd to this labor disturbance as
proof thai protection is in thu interest
of capital and inimical to labor. Sena
tor VoorhouHof Indiana used Ihis Iroublo
ivt the very oiituot to illustrate an argu
ment against the tariff and to miiuo it
appear that tlio olToct of protection in to
enrich the few at the expenseof the
many.
Every reference of this kind to labor
dlsturb.incos is in olTect an appeal to
passion rather than to roasou , whether
so Intendi-d or not Its toudanoy is to
Incite nnd inllmno hostility between
labor and capital. It gives encourage
ment to those who believe Unit the
whole economic and social byatom Is
wrong and should bo ovorthiown al
wlmlovor cost. Whou a candidate for
the presidency doclurcls regarding the
men who represent capital , as Mr.
Cleveland did , that they are selfish nnd
Bordid , with no concern for the interests -
osts of Ihu workinginan , the anarchist
finds in it uu argument to justify his
position nnd strengthen him In it.
There is some palliation for the excesses
of the onomles of social order and the
fanatical zealots who damund n radical
departure from existing conditions
when Ihoy llnd Iholr teachings thus
forlifiod by Iho views and Iho counsel of
Iho mon who' are the loaders of a great
political pariy. When roprosontallvo
American citizens deliberately denounce
ono class of clti/.und as the oppressors
and dcs'pollors of another clnss , seeking
to gain "unearned and unreasonable ad
vantages nl tlio hands ot their follows , "
it is not surprising that these who hnvo
learned nnarchtsllR doctrines under
European conditions should bo led to bo
llovo that there ' .a opportunity for their
application hero.
They are dangerous political loaders
who will do thcso things for partisan
purposes. They are demagogues whom
it would not bn snfo to intrust with the
control of the government. Mon who do
not'hcsitato lo array ono element of the
pcoplo against another , to inclto labor
against capital and thereby promote
controversies and disturbances , and to
contrlbuto lo the growth ot distrust and
dissatisfaction , all witli n view lo their
political advantage , are not lilted to ad
minister the nlTairs of a republican gov
ernment or guard the welfare of republi
can institutions.
A CASK IN I'UIXT.
The pearl button industry isyotyoung
and comparatively small In Omaha , but
in Newark , N. .1. , it is an industry of
considerable importance , giving em
ployment to nearly 3,000 opcrallvos.
The manufftcturo of pearl buttons was
lllllo known in this country until nfler
Iho passage of Iho McKinley bill , by
which Iho American manufacturer was
protected and enabled to coni sto with
cheap foroicn labor. It was the passage
of this mcasuro that caused the estab
lishment of the pearl button business in
this city , and in Newark and other
places where it had boon previously
.slarled the business was very largely In
creased in consequence ot protection.
Ono of the Newark manufacturers says :
"My business began with eight em
ployes. Today I employ over 100.
When my now factory is completed I
shnll have between 230 nnd 300 hands at
work. My orders now amount to between
twoon SloO.OOO and $170.000 a year. Be
fore the passage of Iho McKinley bill I
was forced lo bo conlont with $2,500. "
Tno increase in the tariff has resulted
in the building up of a largo pearl out-
ton business in a very short time , nnd it
is as much to the advantage of the om-
ployo as to the employer. Under the
old tariff Iho wages of Iho pearl button
milkers in Ihis country averaged bo-
Iweon $8.50 and S12. Now they are from
$18 lo 821. Yet the butlons are cheaper
now than Ihoy were before Iho McKinley
bill was passed. Wages are so low in
Iho old counliy lhat Iho foreign rnanu-
facluror can still compete on oven terms
with the American manufacturer on
some of the smaller grades. This is
where Iho queslion of wages and proloc-
lieu comes in.
There are in Omaha two small pearl
button factories which came into exist
ence solely in consequence of the in
creased tariff. They are prospering
and are giving employment lo people
who , in lurn , glvo employment lo
olhcrs , and thus increase Iho business
of the community. In this instance , as
in many others , the ronublican protec
tive policy has produced benefits which
the pcoplo of Omaha and of the whole
stuto can see and estimate at their true
value. The market that has boon
opened to the Omaha pearl butlon
makers is a growing ono , and will oon-
tinuo lo extend under Iho beneficent in-
lluenco of homo patronage , which has
already done much to demonstrate that
it is needless to go away from homo for
a good article at moderate prices. A
continuance of the policy which made it
possible to establish the pearl button in
dustry in this city will bring other
manufactories here , and 11 will bo found
lhat Iho frtills of Iho protective tariff
will become more precious to the people
the longer they enjoy them.

This city has boon sadly deficient in
street corner signs for years , but it
would have boon preferable to remain
in that condition for another year or
two rather than have the town adver
tised ns a crossroad village by the prcc-
lion of short white posts with crossbar
higns.
higns.We
We have a perfect , forest of telegraph ,
telephone , electric light and street car
motor poles. Bui Iho stub post with the
cross-arm sign board is the most un
sightly of thorn all. They should be
taken up at once. It the street signs
are to ho on posts they can bo milled to
telegraph poles wherever the lamp
posts have boon taken up. But it would
bo less unsightly to nnil a neat sign
upon the walls of corner buildings
wherever slrcot corners are occupied by
buildings.
The owners of the best class of , build
ings will doubtless lo willing to cither
have the tit root uainu carved upon the
stone projections , or where this is Im
practicable lo ulacoamolalllcBign-plalo
upon Iho corner walls. The horrid
crossroad post Is an abortion that no
city of tiny pretensions would tolerate
within two miles of the business center.

Mr. Broatch could bo elected governor , and

William M. Erwln is an old resident of
Namnba county , who migrateJ to Almu
seine yoara ngo. "Thoro are many former
residents ot Nomaha in Hnrlun county , "
soul Mr. Urwln , "who nro very friendly toTem
Tom Majors. I am myself. Jlnt friendship
doesn't go this year. The republican party
must nominate a mun for governor who can
go out nnd light , nnd not ono who will bo
obliged lo put In his time dotonil ing himself
from attacks. If wo over ncodca n clean

must have ono. I would llko to see Frank
Hansom run , but ho says ho won't do It. "
The Independents of the western nnd
northwestern part of the state uro foarlul
that the .southeast will try to "hog nil of the
ofllcera. " The Lincoln Sun warns ttio Koar-
nov convention that it must "scattnr out" If
it puts up a winning ticket.
The Sun , otherwise the Alliance-Indepen
dent , also ha ? a few other remarks to niuuo
about the Kearney gathering. It says :
"Thoro will bo two principles in the conven
tion ; on the 0110 hand , dictatorship , sus
picion , slander , falsehood and 'rulo or ruin ; '
on the other hand , fraternity , harmony ,
loyalty , earnestness and sober Judgment. "
This Is a pollto way of iutitnattug thut there

Thcro Is a blc ruction on in the indepen
dent ranks of Hurlnn couaty. The Van
Wyck and Burrows-l'owors factions have
about equal strength and they nro lighting
like cats and dogs. At the present , writing
neither sldo seems to bo on top. Even the
preachers are taking sides in the contest.
Hnrlun cojnty preachers usually take a
great deal of interest in politics. Elder
Silor , who resides at Alma , was a great Uoyd
man two years ago , and when tno voles were
counted on the night of election it was found
that Boyd only had ono vote In tbo precinct.
The Elder had captured his own vote.
Paul Vandervoort has been endorsed for
congress by the Sixth Ward Independent
club. It was only a Ilttlo whllo ugo that
Paul was "mentioned" for president. Next

Auditor Benton , referring to nn Inquiry
from Hastings which appeared in this de
partment regarding ; the payment of $10,000
in taxes to Cheyenne county from the Pull
man Pnlaco Car company , explained that tbo
money paid was only 10S. Ho said it was
paid to correct an error In assessment and
was refunded to the county through the
auditor's ofllcc. There were four othnr
counties In which an error was made in the
assessment nud tboontlro amount refunded
amounted to only a Ilttlo over ? SOO.
"Jack MacColl was met at the great union

JOHNSTOWN , Nob. , July 25. To the Editor
of TUB UIK : : Mr. Majors has friends In this
part of tbo state , and personally wo rather
llko him , but as a candidate far governor bo
cannot bo considered. The republican state
convention Is not called upon to heal wounded
honor nor to Jeopardize success by pulling
an ; man upon the pedestal ot publlo respect
once voluntarily abandoned by him.
It was Mr. Majors' misfortune , wbon
placed In u high and honorable position , to
act contrary to the demand ; of the situation ;
to associate with scheming and selfish men
aud to blliiht his good nuinn and prospects ,
llo did not mauo a mistake. Ho committed
n wrong u grave moral wrong. I wus in
Washington at the time and Unow something
ot the secret working * of the affair and hnvo
read again lately the congressional reports
relating to U , nnd If wo any tnat the torrlblo
words "forgery and perjury , " lltly charnc-
torlzo Iho wrong done , I bollovo the record
will fully JuUify us. Not only so , but the
motive was the lowest to which u man could
yield. It was purely a mercenary one The
liopo of gaining a seat In congress existed no
longer. Tua object wns to gain pay for the
time during which Mr. Majors claimed lie
ought to have lud a veal In that
body. With this In vcw , fuUn census returns -
turns were Imposed upon tbo congressional
committee , bonrlnp Iho signature nnil so l of
Iho .secretary of tlio stnto ot Nobrnsiin. The
secretary donlod the signature and hnd never
affixed the Heal. When tlnrfrnud wns made
clear , beyond doubt , the committee Indig
nantly rejected the whole nffnlr and rnco..i-
mended lhat Iho attorney general ot the state
of Nebraska should doM with Mr. Majors.
Then wns the. time for Mr. Majors lo hnvo
explained , Instead of explaining ho Hud.
From Washington ho retired to Iho banks ot
the Nomnha , thence to otneruo nt n Inter time
ns the farmer's friend and asplro lo political
prominence.
I presume thnt toiloy no man deplores tlio
past so much ns Mr. Mnjnrs himself , I bc
liovo no Inducement could load him to repeat
the experiment which ended so dlscrncofully
nnd cost him so dearly. But that dofs no't
chaugo llin past , nor prevent any man , friend
or ton , from concluding that the rooord re
moves htm from the circle of honorable mon
aspiring to the governorship of the stnto. At
this time we cannot alTord to nominate n man
who would have to be defended from every
platform nnd In every t.choolhouso In the
stnto from charges so gravo. They nro not
matters of rumor ; they nro not campaign
lies , but charges established liv evidence before
fore congress , They form part of our na
tional records , nud , deplore the facts as wo
may , they romnln to bar Iho state convention
from making any effort for Mr. Mnjurs ns
governor , however well disposed toward him
otherwise.
In common with others I regret this con
dition of things. As n soldier Mr , Mnjnr.s
did his duty , not only well , but meritori
ously , during the war of the rebellion. As n
private man ho nnjdy.s the good wilt of his
neighbors , but us u candidate for governor
ho cannot bo considered , nnd his friends will
servo his luturo peace nnd welfare by not
bringing Ills nnmo Into prominence tn this
campaign , JAMBS Mouiiis.
LIST TO HIS TALE OF WOE.
A Country IMItorhatos tlio Skinflints of
IIIf ) Tmrn.
An Interesting story Is told of the boom ed
itor of the Onzotto , published nt Herman ,
Washington county , Nob. The foot that It
wns orlglunllv told by n "loathsome contem
porary" servos to increase the light Into the
dnrlc corners of Journalistic life. The editor
worked off tbo following bright paragraph
nnd put it in typo :
I. . Cornell Is somewhat of a worker himself.
Recently ho carried Into his store from the
nntslilo two tons of llniir. All ! thcso mon tha
are not afraid to work are bound to prosper ,
unit u. " > 0-pouml derrick can't hold 'em down.
Uo then struck n proof of the puff nnrt
wont around to Mr. Cornell nnd asked him
how ninny copies of the extra edition he
would want. Ho wouldn't ' want miy. Ho
didn't bollovo newspaper notoriety did n man
any goou , nnd he'd ratnor hnvo the 111 will of
n paper than Its good will for the latter
sometimes costs something. That paragraph
did not appear in the boom edition of the Un-
zotte , but this ono did :
L. Cornell , who lius been making money In
Herman for n qn irter of a century. Is so close
and miserly thnt lie. the other diy : , carried
Into his < ore two tons of Hour rather than
give a poor man n half a dollar for dolnx the
same work. Although hit Is old nnd dlscreplt
ho would rather do tills thnn help u needy lii-
boior. Such men build up towns ? Tlioi7etie ! :
win wu''er n box of clgat.s that when ho llnds
hn Is zolnu to die he'll make a fearful effort to
dig his own grave.
Now that. Is what wo call journalism with
the baric on. Hero is unothor sample some
what In the same line :
Last week's Ou70tte presented n write-no
fur the town. It was the best the pluco ever
had. Thu editor gave thoiirhtnml care In the
work. The extra labor on the paper cost u
Ilttlo less than $100. It did the town good.
Only one mun was not pleased , and now It Is
proposed to lay this gentleman on the table
end "open him up" for public Inspection. Ills
Ifl-cont wrlto-up tired the editor moro than
all the rest , simply bncatiso It wis neevssnry
to llo that is , In endeavor to make the reader
lieliovo tliut this l.'u.ironl was a merchant and
curried a iniixnlllcent stojk of goods , when In
fact his place of business Is but lute larger
thnn u a lore box , and more Illtliy than a ma
rine hospital , and his entire stock of plunder
could he put In a nail keg.

Over 100 Pursoo girls competed for prizes
at an examination In doiuostio cooKery in
Bombay recently. The prizes were n warded
by n committee of Parsee ladies. The pro
paratlon of food for infants nud Invalids was
n part of the examination , but the principal
dishes were these in overy-day demand in
Purseo middle-class life ; Kataobs , potnto
wafers , yellow nco , omelets , puddings and
vegetables ; nnd it Is good promise for the
future greatnoBs , of the Parsees that the
girls did remarkably woll.
A most objectionable custom nt present
highly in vogue In smart soclotv In Paris is
that of painting children's faces. Fashion
able mothers paint their youngstora' cheeks
nnd lips with the srimo hues thnt they wear
themselves , nml , In consequence , tha
wretched Ilttlo creatures are norornble to
piny or nmuso tlietniolvos In any healthy
war for fear of disturbing tholr nppoRrnnco ,
while tholr sKlns wither promniuroly nnd
they nro condemned to continue the praotlci
under pain ot looking prematurely old.
