WITH streotcarmen'sand switchmen's strikes in this country just now there ought to bo a healthy demand for fall Bhnoloathor. Walking is still good. TIIK cities on the Missouri river must Rtand together against the aggressions of Chicago grain and cattle dealers' combinations nnd discriminating rail road magnates. THK Chicago New.ijt rampant tariff reform organ , says that the people are iilarmcd because of the free trade stand of the democratic party and that ' 'they prefer McKinloyism to Cobdonism. " BY THK elevation of Lord Kosobory to the post of foreign secretary the Gladstone government wishes to servo notice on the other nations that the Hon's tail will stand no twisting this trip. WHATKVKII impulse the Omaha con vention gave to the cause of the Weaver crowd in this state there is no doubt that it boa boon altogether overcome by the stern logic of reason and horse BCIISO. THE Now York World has raised a campaign fund to carry the western Btates for the democracy. Even though Calvin $ Brice has disappeared from Iho campaign , ho ovidoutly loft a whole garret full of rainbows. ON THK morning of November 9 some of tlio wisest democratic organs in America can use as editorial explanation of their defeat some of the articles on Cleveland which they published before the wigwam convention. THK Board of Education has dilly dallied with the construction of now- school buildings very much after the fashion pursued by the council and Board of Public Works in regard to paving and sewer contracts. THK Denver system of garbage dispo sition is superior to that of Omaha , but the really best way to dispose of the fitult IB to burn it. As wo have no cronia- lories in this city , every back yard can l > o used and no damage done. Burn the garbage. IT IS now claimed that Omaha and Kansas City puckers got a rebate by which the hog product rutos are inoro nearly , equalized. If this is true it is all the moron reason for appeal to the law to correct Biioh abuses. Lot this trans portation business bo not only fair but upon and honest. IT SKI3MS to bo the peculiar mission of th'o frou trade1 organs to search tTiis country over with a line tooth comb in hysterical haute to dlscovor a protected Industry which by reason of mismanage ment or neglect has proven a full lira This is truly American procedure und is of great aid in advertising this nation. THK decision of Governor Buoharmn of Tennessee to bolt the democratic ticket and run as an indopoiuluiit will Borvo to increase interest in the politi cal camnalgnjn that state. It is under stood tha.t Governor Buchanan will bo nominated by the pooplo'd party , which will hold its convention tomorrow , and the platform he has announuod ought to be entirely acceptable to the now party. With four tickets in the Hold , und so popular u man as Buchanan at the bond of one of them , the republican ; ) ought to stand some ohanco of winning , There li every reason to expect that the gov ernor will draw extensively from the democrats , and na the pooplo's party in Tennessee was largely recruited from tl.o democracy , it wou'd ' seem that the latter cannot nlTord to lose iv great many more without the danger of being boaton. Stranger things have Impponoa in politico than would bo the election thin year of u republican goveruor lit Teuncdsee. TX MISSOURJ. The republicans of Mtssourl.undor the leadership ot Major Warner , their can didate for governor , are making n vigor ous und nggrosslvo campaign , nnd it is believed by those who tire well Informed regarding the situation that the chances of republican success on the stnlo ticket are good. It Is n noteworthy fact that the democratic load in Missouri on the stnto ticket is falling off much faster than It Is on the national ticket , The democrats carried the slate in 1830or president by 55,000 and for governor hi- fi 1,000 , while four years ago the veto for president was nearly 20,000 and for gov ernor only a little over 13,000. This very marked decline in the democratic vote in state Issues is duo to the fact that the people have become dissatisfied with the prolonged domina tion of one party and there is a very general fooling that the material inter- oats of the stnto would bo promoted by a change. Intelligent democrats concede that the continued control by their party in the state is in some roapocts a disadvantage , nnd it is be loved there are many such who , while voting for the national candidates of the democracy , will go with the republicans in state isbuos. The republicans of Missouri do not expect to carry tlio state against Cleveland , , but they are hopeful , and apparently with good reason , of electing their stale ticket. The republican candidate for gov ernor , Major Warner , is very popular , particularly with the old soldiers , of whom Missouri has a largo number , lie is milking his campaign almost wholly upon state issues and the testimony is that his canvass is proving to bo very olTcctlvo. At any ratd tlio advices from Missouri are very reassuring for the re publicans so far as the state ticket is concerned , and such a victory this year would go far toward making the state republican on the presidential ticket four years hence. Tin ; I'Kai'Li : A'.voir IIKTTKII. It pleases the orators and press of the democratic party to make n great deal of nolso about the "robber tariff , " and the claim is persistently put forth that the present protective tariff law has in creased the cost , of necessaries to the American people. Tlio claim is utterly false , as everybody knows who keeps oven an approximate account of his ox- pon&cs. Lot us sco how tha facts agree with democratic statements. In 1889 blankets cost $ ! 215 a pair , but by October , 1890 , they had fallen to S-1.09J , and the fol lowing year they dropped to $3.70. Boots that cost $3.27 a pair in 1889 , fell in 1890 to $3.07 and the next year they wore down to S2.78J. Calico dropped from 7i cents to GJ cents and then to C cents. Carpets fell from 77J cents to 72 } In 18)0 ! ) and the next year they could bo bought lor COJ cents. Cotton hosiery fell from 25 ! to 201 ; cotton thread from C to 44 ; Il.-vnnel from 39 } to 34J ; gingham from 101 to 8J ; linen from 48 } to 42 } ; rubber boots from S3.10J to $2.7HJ ; sheet ings from 8 cents to Of ; shoes from $3.45 to $3.00 : granulated sugar from 9 } ton } cents ; brown sugar from 8 } to 4 } . Woolen clothing , which has been es pecially pointed to by the free traders as an article that must go up under pro tection , has fallen decidedly since the McKinley law wont into effect. Almost everything that the poo'r man 1ms.to Duy is cheaper now than over before , and the reduction is still going on under the tariff law which the democrats say is cruelly robbing the pockets of the people. Nothing could bo more absurd than the cool assumption of the loaders of the democratic campaign that the common people have not sense enough to know the difference between truth und falsehood concerning matters which are directly and forcibly brought to their attention every time they open their purses to pay n , store bill. D1SAFFRCTKU DKMOCltATS. Some time ago Mr. Cleveland said at a reception given him by a democratic club in Now York city , referring to the conflicts in the party : "I do not know .that there have boon any differences " It was a disingenuous assertion , for no one know bolter than Mr. Cleveland of the disaffection in tbo ranks of the de- mocracv. particularly in hib own state. but it was accepted by the organs of the candidate as an assurance that ho was personally in harmonious relations with each faction of the party. At u Itttor date there was a statement from the chairman of the uomocrntic national committee that whatever differences of choice or of opinion may have existed prior to Iho Chicago convention they wore completely done away with , and this also was heralded as evidence that democrats wore forgetting that there had over been any differences. But no body knew batter than Mr. Ilarrity that such was not tlio cage , because ho was oven at that time cudgeling lit * brain in connection with Mr. Whitney to devise a way to placate some of the dis gruntled democrats of Now York. A plan was finally adopted which gave prominent recognition to some of the most ardent friends of Senator David B. Ilill , but if the arrangement pleased those gentlemen , as it would soain from their acceptance il did , it produced an enlirely different effect upon HOIIIO of the men who wore conspicuous in their opposition to Hill , The state of mind of some of thrt 'anti-snappara , " as dis closed in recent interviews , shows that there are very pronounced differences among the democrats of the Kmplro state , und the men who are now doing tha ( .vigorous Kicking are thoio who most actively and zaalously championed Iho oiuso of Mr. Cleveland. The Borious oharuclor of tha situation will be appre ciated when it is staled Unit Mr. Charles A. Dana makes a personal * appeal to William U. Gruco and Charles S. Fairchild - the " " loaders to child , "antl-simppor" , "suppress , or at least to conceal , the bitterness which they are now manifest ing toward the lion. William C. Whit ney und tbo du'y constituted managers of the democrat o canvass. " Mr , Dana warno thorn that the course they are pursuing is calculated to injure the democratic course. "If either through mortllled vanity , " nays the editor of the Sun , "or through jealousy of other loudom chosen in pref erence to themselves to order and con duct the democratic canvass , they per sist In exhibiting themselves na the original promoters of Mr. Cleveland's candidacy and Iho peculiar proprlolora of his political fortunes , they will render democratic success difficult if not im probable. " The trouble is that Grace , Kali-child , and the other "anti-snap- pars" are disposed to resent the uncere monious way in which they were turned down and tihcohan and others of the friends of Hill put forward. It is a nat ural fooling , but the treatment is what they might have expected , Mr. Whit ney is a very practical politician , and ho understood the Importance of placating and using the lighting men of the party. That Mr. Cleveland was In full sympa thy with the plan which relegated Grace , Fall-child and their associates to the background is not to bo doubted. It is questionable whether these gen tlemen will hood the admonition of Mr. Dana. * They have not received voryro- spoclful consideration from him. In the past and they may fool that ho is in some measure responsible for the treat ment they huvo received at the hands of Mr. Whitney. At any rnto they do not hesitates to lot It bo known that they are fit present very much dlssatldffed and it remains to bo soon whether they can bo whipped into lino. This and other cir cumstances in the political situation in Now York make the outlook for ropub- llciiu success in the state very promising. A UllATlPl'lKO I'KOSPEOT. Readers of THE BiiK cannot liavo fnilod lo notice that its columns contain almost every dny accounts of now indus trial enterprises established within the boundaries of Nebraska. Thin steady increase in Iho number of our mills and factories shows that the homo patronage idea is bearing fruit. Every one of these new enterprises , oven though compara tively small at the outsit , ia bound to grow and keep pace with the demands of its market Every ono of thorn must employ mon who , with their families , will swell the number of consumers of all commodities , and thus the reciprocal intlucnco of homo patronage will bo uindo- manifest It is not lo IJQ oxpucled that Nobrasim will very soon take rank as a great man ufacturing stale , but it has already boon amply demonstrated that she can pro duce many of the manufactured articles formerly purchased elsewhere , and that manufacturers can muot these of other states upon an equal footing in the market. Tho'world must have our grain , but the notion that wo can pro duce nothing else and that the corn of Ncornska must bo exchanged for the manufactured products of llio east is. gradually being abandoned. The time is rapidly approaching when the vast product of Nebraska's fertile acres will bo coined into money lo pay for com- modilios manufactured upon her own soil. All signs point to advancement along this lino. CO3WGT1TIOX 11Y M'ATKlt AND ItAIfj The competition between the railroads and the clipper ships from San Fran- cibco lo Now York is producing rcsulis very favorable lo Iho shippers of tlio Pi'.oific coast , especially in Iho line of heavy freights. There has lately boon a great revival in the carrying trade from west tfl east by the way of Capo Horn. Some of the largest and best sailing ships now engaged in commerce ; uo these employed in what is called in tbo cast "tho California trade. " It takes a sailing ship about 115 days on the average lo go from San Francisco to Now York around the Horn. Some times it lakes much longer , and a voy- atro of 100 days is considered vm-y re markable. Yet this slow method , of freight transportation baa , by reason of its cheapness , so extensively cut into the business of the railroads that the Southern Pacific has deemed it nnces- sury to lower its rate on cerlain kinds of goods from 40 lo CO per conl ; and judg ing by the published schedule Iho re duction applies to the greater portion of the inerchandinp shipped cast from the Pacific coast. It will naturally bo supposed that merchandise requiring quick transpor tation will go entirely by rail , and that the railroadb will inako the shippers pay dearly for such freight. Not only is this true , but local rates are help up lo the highest notch and shippers are bitterly bemoaning the lack of competi tion in rates lo inland markets. Tlio water routes are Iho great rogu- lalors of transportation charges. Whore there is a posbibilily of competition by sea or lake or canal against the rail roads the latter must inevitably suc cumb. They Have always done so. The water is free to all and offers no advant age to the monopolist. I'AKK. It is the province of every newspaper lo supply Us patrons with Information concerning any topic in which there is a popular interest. In the exorcise of this function there Is a limit beyond which no reputable journal will over venture. The sensational publicity given by the World'llcmld to floating btreot rumors , concerning the liite Judge Clarkson , is an outrageous abtibo of ttic license which Iho American press en joys. It ih a cruel fake based on the wildest theories unsupported by any tangible proof. The woof and web of the pretended discovery that Judge Clarkson has do- sorlod family und friends und sought to defraud tliii life Insurance companies by leaving evidences of accidental drown ing rest tipon Iho most films/of pre texts. Tlio more finding in the neigh borhood of Honey Creek lake fragments of letters and clothing tags is stupidly coupled with a barber's story that ho had cut off the board of a man who hap pened to travel in that neighborhood two wouks ago. Judge Clurkson was a sane man when last scon , and if ho moditate'd abscond ing ho certainly would have talcon every precaution to cover his tracks. Ho would scarcely have dropped letters and papers that wore sure to leave a clow. Had ho suddenly become Insar.p ho would not ) iavo likely pone to Honey Creek laka with art extra suit of clothIng - Ing and loft his watch and the whole unit he had been wearing In u boat on the lake. The fake concocted by the World- Herald is no solution of the mystery which surrounds the drowning of Judge Clarkson , and our reckless conloin'porary is not justified fjjfjftiy thing that has yet been discovered jln placing a stlRinn. upon the name Yrf' ' a mutt whoso life In Omaha and ovpi' whore else had never boon sullied by oven the suspicion of dishonor. i ) " . Judge Clarksonts career of strict In tegrity and corrocTliving could not pro- toot his momor irom the defamatory gabble of coriinr14-loafers , but it should have boon rospjfc&od by the press of his own homo untll cpnvinclng and positive proof is found to tho' contrary. Tun decline in 1 the price of silver , which has fallen lower than over before , is causing a serious disturbance in the financial and commercial affairs of In dia and presents n problem to the Brit ish government full of grave difficulties. It is nothard lo find roasnna for the de cline , but how lo moot the changed con ditions which it involves nnd avert the troubles which it threatens is not so easy a matter. The United States Is qulo us much Inlorostod In this subject ns any other country , but nothing can bo done regarding it for at least six months. The treasury is powerless , the law absolutely requiring Iho purchase of so much silver monthly , so that the gov ernment must go on purchasing oven if that metal should continue to fall. The situation gives more than ordinary interest - torost to the conl'oronco soon to bo hold to consider the silver problem , but r.s that body can do nothing except lo recommend a great deal may happen in the way of unsettling financial affairs before any practical result from Us de liberations mny bo reached. Meanwhile the downward course of silver offers a lesson for the careful attention of these who urge that the United States should adopt the free and unlimited coinage of that metal. Suppose that policy wore now in operation , can there bonny doubt that there would pour into the country a flood of silver which our mints could not handle in the next flvo years , but which coming here would have tlio ef fect to drive gold to a premium and out of circulation1 the terrible things that have provoked him to revolt against tlio old parties J. F. Willotbof Kansas related to the workingmen of Omaha that ho had sold a horse for S1CO to Undo Sam and was compelled to give a boird that has never yet been roloisod. This is a grievance that all the workingmen in the country should rise in their might to redress. It is an1 awful hardship on a free American citizen , but Mr. Willots should not lose < much sloop over that perpetual bond if ho came by the .horse honestly. The probabilities are that about the time he'sold lhat horse Uncle Sam's quartormrtstors were troubled by claimants whososhorses found their way from the jiiyhaWkdrs' stolen herd into the govornmontacorral. The bond was only n necessaryfjprecauUon against dealers who , accBrdhig to the tariff re former's idon , wore in tbo habit of buy ing their goods in the cheapest market and selling lucm iri the dearest. JUDGE CIIOUNHK has accepted an In vitation to bo p're'soiit ' and apeak at the annual picnic of the OldiSettlora associ ation of Dodge county at Fremont on September It ) , and ho will also attend the meeting of the old , soldiers of that county at the same limo und place. Judge Crounso is bolh an old soldier and an old settler , and his presence will add much to the pleasure of the occa sion. To SO3II5 of the visitors it may seem that Omaha has been a boom city. This is not true. The growth during the past decade was perfectly natural , and created by causes which had long been hold in abeyance by hostile and disloyal authorities. Omaha rests upon a boi ler commercial basis than any other city of Iho west. luwu MiirolmiR In I.lnc , ( lli > tic-D nwcrtit.
