of the bionnlal tournament of the asso

ranging a countor-attnictloii to take
plnco in Chicago on the Bnmo dates. At
the meeting in St. Louis lust year it
was agreed that tlio next tournament
should bo held in Omaha ; but it would
Boom that Chicago Is determined to
roach out and gnlhoi * in everything
In sight. So far as expressions from
members of the association in ether
parts of the country hnvo boon rocolvod
they show that this action on the
part of Chicago ia indignantly
repudiated as an exhibition of
greed and bad faith. The fact
that Chicago is to liavo th'o Columbian
exposition in no oxctiBQ on tlio contrary ,
it IB n good reason why the tournament
should bo hold olsovvhoro. The mom-
bora of the National Shooting associa
tion will undoubtedly go there , but it ia
reasonable to uuppndo that they will
wish to got out of that congested city
for the tournament. Omaha id u con

The republican stnto central committee -
too will muot at Lincoln today to per
fect its organisation and lay out the
work for the campaign. Tlio keynote
of this campaign was sounded by the
convention that nominated for its stand
ard bonrora men whoso rccoras and
character are unnssnil'iblo.
First and foremost it will bo the duty
of the committee , after conference with
the candidates for btnto nnd congres
sional oflleos , to select for Its chairman a
man of rare executive ability , wide range
of rcqualntanso and high standing
among business men. Ho should bo n
popular man , who abov'o all things
understands the various elements from
which the party must draw strength
nnd is offensive to none. Ho should by
all means bo familiar with factions and
nationalities In Omaha , which is bound
to bo the battleground.
In the selection of secretary duo re
gard should not only bo had for capa
city and industry , but also for common
decency. The disgraceful and demoral
izing methods that have prevailed
under Scoly have cost the party thou
sands o [ votes.
Another very important , if not the
moit Important duty , that devolves
upon the committee is the selection of a
candidate for the second place on the
ticket made vacant by reason of , lho ineligibility -
eligibility of Mr.'Jnto. A blunder in
this selection would bo fraught with
Borious consequences. It would bo a
very grave blunder for the cornmittoo
to nominatn any man who would become
a target by reason of a defective or
spotted record. Such n , man would at
once change the attitude of the party
Irom an ollonslvo to a defensive one.
One wonk spot in the armor would endanger -
danger our whole ticket. The attempt
to bolster up or whitewash part of the
ticket would subject other juris lo as
sault. An unclaan corporation candi
date for lieutenant governor would not
only neutralize the favorable impression
produced by the nomination ot Judge
Crounsu but. would bespatter the whole
ticket with mud and disparage in the
eyes of reputable republicans the effort
which the convention made to t.urn down
the pluco-hnntora , jobbers and jugglers
with public conllttonco.
No man's ambition should at this time
bo allowed to jenpourdizo party success.
We have a clean UCICOL now , and it
would bo folly to put a tattooed man
under Its very head. In every great
contest discretion is the hotter part of
valor.

Notwithstanding that the southern
states seem to have recently witnessed
the dawn of an era , of unexampled com
mercial and industrial prosperity within
their borders they are still hampered in
the march of progress by social condi
tions which have long worked Id their
disadvantage. In the state of South
C'lrolina fifty-two murders have re
cently been recorded within a piiriod of
twenty-eight weeks. The record was
published by the Charleston jVcto.3 mid
Courier , and that newspaper was criti
cised- for thus making known to the
world a condition of lawlessness which ,
it was said , would tend to frighten away
immigrants. The same paper enters
into tin oxtonflod argument to prove
that homicide is adding largely to the
poor and dependent class year by year ,
and that the cost to the state from this
cause is becoming appalling. This view
of so ghastly a subject may seem rather
too practical , but the iiguros are never
theless interesting. At this rate the
murders annually occurring .in South
Carolina would amount to at least 100 a
year. Upon this basis of computation
the number of men slain in private
quarrels since the war would foot up
2,701) ) , and the murderers and their vic
tims would aggregate 5,400 men. "Tho
slaughter , therefore , " says the JVetus
and Coxncr , "has not boon inconsider
able , and , taking the basis of estimate
already made , wo are led to adopt the
startling figures that the homicide
mania has made butwoen 0,000 and 7,000
widows and orphans in South Carolina
since the war , or moro widows and
orphans than the entire white popula
tion of some of the counties. " The
journal quoted concludes with the
query : "What are wo going to do
about it ? "
It would seem that the most simple
way to avert the evils which must ensue
from such a state of affairs is to culti
vate a public sontimant tnat will d's-
courage murder. The people of South
Carolina should bo taught that the
shotgun method of settling personal
differences is not nulled to the ago in
which wo live and that murder is not
only wicked but injudicious.
The idea that the publication of the
murder record of a southern state will
tend to keep Immigrants away is by no
means now. Everybody knows that the
prevalence of lawlessness in the south
1ms had that affect for yoaru No sec
tion of the country Is m.iking moro
rapid strides In commercial and in
dustrial progress than the southern
state * In which the development of
natural resources has bumi earnestly
begun and it cannot bo doubled that
prosperity will dawn upon the whole
Kouth as soon as Its paople are prepared
to obey the laws and apply themselves
to the arts of puaco.

It is dlllluult for the general public to
form a just opinion concerning the
meriti of the uroaont stugtrlo between
tliu striking switchman und the railroad
companies atfcotqd. llotli aidha to the
controversy claim to ba in the right ,
and the testimony is conllicting and con
fusing. One thing , however , is cer
tain the switchmen flhoula have taken
moro time for deliberation , and unould
have endoivorod to enlist public sym
pathy in their ualuK bafo/o dauhirlng
the atriKo. i There o in bo no doubt that
they have a Horlous grievance. They
are required to work too many hours ,
and tliolr , pay for the oxaoting duties
which they are required to perform is
iimdoqirito. I'ew men In the employ of
the railroads have grovlor responsibil
ities than the iwltuhmon. Upon the
proper performance of their work dc-
ponUs the safety of the great traveling
public , and thous inds of freight trains
laden with valuable merchandise maybe
bo lost or saved , according to the degree
of care und faithfulness ahown by the
members of this Imoorlnnt branch of the
railroad service. No class of railroad
employes enjoys the confidence of the
public to a greater degree , nnd none
could moro uonfiaontly count upon pub
lic sympathy in n fair fight against the
railroad companies.
lint the Sivitchmui have made a se
rious mistake in their plan of campaign.
It Is predicted that they will los , nnd
it is even said that they themselves have
little hope of enforcing their claims.
They are now wilting to submit the case
to arbitration , hut unfortunitoly It is
too late for that. Arbitration might
h : vo boon fruitful of gooil results ton
days ago , but the riotous proceeding s
which characterized the beginning of
the strko in BulTalo have loft the offic
ials of the railroads In no temper to con-
alder proposals for a trovty : of peace.
The violent demonstrations and the de
struction of property by the strikers
und their sympathizers were very unfor
tunate. If they had maintained a peace
ful attitude they would hnvo won public
support. The people have no friendly
fooling toward the Lohigli Valley fail-
roiul , which belongs to the hungry coal
combine , and the other lines utToctod by
the strike have no claim upon public
sympathy.
As matters stand it is highly probable
that the strikers will fail. The railroad
companies are employing now men and
these who have thrown themselves into
this struggle will bo out of employment.
They should not bo too hastily blamed
for their precipitate and ill-consldorod
action. The many wore Inlluoncod by
the hot-headed few.

The difficulties which confront the
democracy are not oonlinod to any one
section of the country. The disalTcc.-
tion of the ignored "anti-snappers" ii\
New York , and of the Gr.iyitCH in In
diana , ia not till the trouble that is fret
ting the souls of the democratic loader ? .
The stronghold of democracy , the
"solid south , " also presents some dis
couraging conditions , The slump of
over 100,000 voles in Alabama , the split
in Tennessee , coupled with the labor
troubles there , the disintegration in
North Carolina , nnd the alliance move
ment in Virginia , are features of the
political situation th it are greatly
troubling tlio democratic managers.
It is said that the republican national
committee is constantly receiving ad
vices from the south of a very reassur
ing nature.
It is reported thut the democratic man
agers are receiving unusual demands
from the southern states for money to
kcop the democrats in lino. It has not
been the policy heretofore to send a
great deal of money to the south , be
cause the solid democratic vote of that
section was depended upon to carry the
party through In these states without
the use of money. This has enabled the
democratic manngoors to use their
campaign fund ohiolly in the doubtful
states of the north. Connecticut , Now
Jersey , Now "York and Indiana have
hitherto received the largest share of
this money. It ia consequently a now
experience foi' the democrats to provide
jnoney for the southern states in the
quantity in which it is now demanded ,
and the prospect is that the subscribers
to the democratic campaign fund will
have to go down dcopor into their pock
ets tluin usual , or e'so ' some important
points in the political Hold whore finan
cial fertilization is needed will have to
bo neglected. Possibly the gentlemen
who are rnisinir a fund toba expended in
spreading the doctrine of free trade in
the west can he induced to divert it to
the south or to tlio states regarded as
doubtful , and unquestionably it could bo
used there to bettor advantage than for
the purpose it is intended. Missionary
work in the west , in the interest of free
trade , is certain not to repay the labor
and outlay.
It would seem evident that the demo
cratic managers are going to have all
they can do to hold the electoral vote of
the solid south , and while they will
probably do so it will bo at the expense
of some otTort in other directions where
they have expected to put forth extra
ordinary exertions. Republicans are
not counting upon any advantage from
the situation in some of the southern
states , but it is manifestly of a nature to
cause the democratic managers no little
trouble and perplexity.
.1 itucunn oin
It is amusing to observe the struggle
of the democratic organs to find a plaus
ible defense of the record of the house
of representatives of the Fifty-second
congress. Remembering the grand
promises of reform before tlio house as-
ocmbtod , not one of which was fulfilled ,
the democratic press is having a hard
time in trying to ni'iko it appear that
the democratic house is not the most in
competent and imbecile in the history
of the govornmon t.
When the Pifty-socond congress mot
the house contained 234 democrats ,
eighty-eight republicans und eight alli
ance men , who wore toady on almost all
questions to veto with the domoci-ats.
This great democratic majority came
together , pledged by all its professions
on the stump , by all Its promises in its
platforms , to do certain tilings. It pro
posed to revise and reduce tariff duties
all along the line , to institute economy
in the expenditures of tlio government ,
and to do a number of ether things
which tlio republican party had neg
lected to do or had not properly done.
The country had boon told that the preceding -
coding congress was guilty of many
wrongs whloli called loudly for correc
tion , and it was the mission of the demo
cratic party to correct thorn , The people ,
it was assorted , had given the party
that mission , and it proposed to curry
out the will of the people. There waste
to be inaugurated an era of wise and
priidnnt statesmanship that would put
to shame the republican congress and
Its "billion dollar" record.
What a ridiculous exhibition followed
those grandiose promises. Never did
mountebank showman lull moro utterly
to carry out the ussurancos of his pro
gram. No elTort wus made to revise the
lurllT law , the Hpoclous excuse being
that the senate Blood in the way of any
revision , but the roul reason bolng thut
the democratic majority was too cow-
aiuly to undertake the task. The
cole effort to lessen the burdens of taxa
tion they told Up people they were un
necessarily bearing was dlrectod to a
change In Bomo'th-ilf ' a dozen Items out
of 3,500 , ombrffio'A in the tariff law In
the urittor o'Appropriations ! , Instead of
reducing thoni ,7lioy ( increased the ag
gregate , as coihp'nrod with the o of the
first session ol the Fifty-IIrat congress ,
over $10,0',0lj5ncludlng ' [ ) ( the most extravagant
'
travagant river'and harbor bill over
passed by any congress. In almost every
case whore th y ut down an appropria
tion they loftU.O ( certainty of a defi
ciency to bo provided for at the seuond
session or by ( lie next congress. This
democratic majority would have passed
a bill for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver hud it not boon for the nearly
solid vote of the republican minority
against such a measure.
Examine the entire record of the first
session of this democratic house , with
its majority of over 150 , and there will
bo found liardly ono redeeming feature
in it. No promise made to the country
was kept , no pledge redeemed. Nothing
from beginning to end but evidences of
ineompotonoy and imbecility. In no
procodlntr congress did the vice of
absenteeism prevail to such an extent.
Never was there a house in which busi
ness was moro neglected , a noteworthy
fact being that during the first month
of its existence it was In session alto
gether but sovcn hours and forty-eight
minutes , with practically no work what
ever done. It is Indeed a hard tuid
profitless task which the democratic
organs have in attempting to defend the
record of the house of representatives
of the Fifty-second congress.
IT is wonderful how a new party is
imposed upon. At Ko'irnoy the populists
very nearly nominated Seth II. Craig
for lieutenant governor. Now , this
man Craig was once warden of Iowa
state prison at Fort Madison , and only
the ourlossnoss of the state's attorneys ,
arising from u liking and pity for his
bandsmen , kept him from the arms of
ttio law. And now Craig is a prominent
reform "agitator. "
UNDHU tlio free trade , or tariff for

Democrat : "Wo understand that Governor

Should ha succoud In packing tha convention
ha would bo compelled to yet out a search

Hero's another ono from the democratic
Schuylor Herald : "If the democrats of the
Secou d congressional district think so much
of Governor ISo.vd tut thuui uotuluato him for

Another Itttlo democratic plan Is thus out
lined by the Nobrask x City Press : "It U to
notnluato Governor Boyd for governor and
Colon < sl F. P. Ireland for lieutenant gover

combine nnd Ireland for second placo. Than
to make tha old man a senator nnd leave a

It is n sight to make angels woon.
Another endorsement of S. C. Uassott for
lieutenant governor on the republican ticket
comes from the Sbolton Cllppur. Mr. I3as-
sott probably has a larger ucqualntanca
among the farmers of the state than any
other man engaged exclusively in agriculture.
Ho served one term in tha state legislature
from his county , and has always shown him
self worthy of the conildonco of the people.
Matthew Gerlng of Cass county aspires to
bo temporary chairman ot the damouratlo
state convention , Mr. Goring wants the
oftlco evidently because ho will Uol bavu to
go before the peopla ol the stata to secure an
endorsement.
The democrats of McKolghan's homo
countv , Webstar , have gene back on him.
The county convention has scloctod delegates

Tecumseh Chieftain : From avnry part of

Judge Crounso is hourtlly endorsed by ovor.v

Auburn Granger ( ind ) : In making Van-

pnrty , composed of the sumo inon ivho were

Kearney no ono was so poor as to do Hurra vvs

trol , while Powers was actually the recipient
of a stale egg , thrown by tlio hand of ono "of

Lincoln Naws : The voice of the state

The article on hazing at West Point , con
tributed by J. W. Droatch , who 1 under-
stnntl Is a son of ox-Mayor H rout oh ol
Otunhu , und which appeared in several east
ern papon last Sunday , was the subject ol
comment by a number of olllcors here. Tha
opinion was expressed thnt young Mr.
Uroatch was perhaps Hupcrsonalllvo owing
to his ngo and the fact Unit tie had Just
graduated at n civilian college. "Tho so
called hazing at West Point , " said a lleu >
tenant , "li mostly of the harmless kind and
no notice is taken uf it bv the authorities bo-
c.iuso properly within limits it does good
rather than harm. Unlike thu high
grade clvilan collages , the military
ucudomy secures Us students from nil
classes of society. Phil Sheridan
was a railroad contractor's so.i. General
Grunt was a farmer ooy. There Is no sta
tion of lifo which dooi not furnish Its quota.
The object of the academy is to bring all up
to a level of honest , fearless , straightfor
ward , good mannurod inon , subordinate to
authority and ublo and willing to accept re >
sponsibillty. The plabn , in nlno cnsos out elton
ton , needs a thorough dressing down , nnd tna
corps of cadets is loft to perform a good part
of this work. The man of 21 who comes
from college with all .ho pride of n late
senior is made to fool that ho occupies ex
actly the same relation lo the noadomy as tha
17-year-old boy of an Indiana farmer who
is in bis class. Is subject to the
sumo regulations of the academic
and necessarily to the customs of tbo corps.
The third class , py custom , takes a certain ,
or perhaps it might bo better to say an un
certain , part In helping to teach the now <
cadets the value of rank and the difference 4
which a slnglo year ot grade makes in the
army. Doubtless they sometimes exceed
proper bounds ; but , on the whole , tlio fourth
class inon take their moJIclna like men ;
duti't whine about it in thopapors , and assist
next year in offering the spoon to tholr'slic-
cossors. It is disuurooublo , no doubt , but it
plays its part In making the younu men un
derstand tttonco the equality the and inequal
ity at West Point. The young gentleman who
has been so generously attacking the acad
emy through the public press ovidentlr did
quite the proper thing in leaving West
Point. He was plainly not cut out for a
soldier , nnd flourishes a pen much moro vig
orously than ho is over like to Hash a saber. "

Speaking about nrtny matters , there Is
likely to bo n sbakoup soon In tno depart
ments. If the military divisions are re
established there will bo a reassignment of
the brigadiers in all probability which will
carry Gen oral Drooko out of Omaha. Gen
eral Carr wants the Department of Arizona
and General McL'ook Is spolton of In connec
tion with the Columbia. Locally n transfer
of troops in the Ninth cavalry is talked
about. It is rumored that B and U troops ,
Captains Ruckcr and Dlmralck , vlll loava
Fort Ducbosno and exchange with I and P ,
Cuptaius Gullfoylo and Stodtnan , at Fort
Robinson. It is understood that the depart
ment commander had recommended tha
abandonment of Duchosno , but the War department - r
partment considers It advisable to continuo
the post , at least for the present. Humor
has It that a battalion ot tha Ninth cava'ry
is to bo stationed at Fort Logan near Den
ver , Colo. , under command of Lieutenant
Colonel Bernard. This would possibly take
a troop from Fort Robinson In audition to C
