EVIJUY republican of Omaha must

FUAlt is being generally expressed

.1 HEMUUtlATlC HUH Sl'lKUl ) .
The effort of the democratic party lo
make a national Issue of the so-called
"forcoblll" has failed. H had pr.icli-
cally failed before the president referred
to the "ubjocttn his loiter of nocoptnnco ,
and that roforoneo spiked thU demo
cratic gun completely. The obvious
reasons for its failure as a lsuo are that
It appealed wholly to sectional feeling
and it was put forward with the design
of diverting popular attention from the
living and commanding hsuos regard
ing which certain democrat * s.iw that
tholr party is in the wrong position. Mr.
Charles A. U.ina is responslblo ( or hav
ing Injected the "force bill" into the
campaign , and ho did BO bocadso ho
needed some justification for supporting
the democratic party at this timti which
he could not IIml in Its attitude or Us
platform utterances upon leading public
questions.
Mr. Dana could not support the free
.trade position of the democracy. Ho
believes that the American system of
protection Is constitutional ami that , It
has been and will continue to bo a good
policy for this country. IIo also believes -
lioves that the p'inclplo of reciprocity
Is wlsu , whereas the democratic party
has denounced it as a sham and a hum
bug. Mr. Dana does not bollovo In the
course that has boon pursued by the dem
ocratic party regarding the currency
nor in the party's declaration in favor of
restoring the state bank issues. Being
unable to support the democracy on any
of those questions ho cast about for an
issue that woulu enable him to make at
least a perfunctory light for the pa--ty's
success and hit upon tno "forco bill"
and "no negro domination" as- battle
crios. They were certain to make an
appeal to the south that would bo likely
to hold that section solid for the democ
racy and there was a possibility that
they would divert attention to bomo extent -
tent In the north from the false position
of the democracy in other questions. It
is far fro'n absolutely certain that the
southern states will give their full electoral -
toral vote to the democratic candidates
and in the north the "focco bill" buga
boo is as dead an issue as it well
could bo. What little lifo it may have
had before the president inudo public
his letter of acceptance lias departed
from it and no effort to resuscitate it will
now avail.
The posit ion of President Harrison on
the subject o ( free and honest elections
is eminently conservative , wise and
patriotic. Ho docs not advocate any leg
islation relating to it which u just and
patriotic citizen , desiring that every
man entitled to thn suffrage shall bo
protected in Us exorcise , will object. Ho
proposes simply that congress shall pro
vide for the appointment of a nonpartisan -
partisan commission to consider the sub
ject of apportionments and elections in
tholr relation to the choice of foclor.il
olllcovs , and ho regards with gratifica
tion the prospect that the states thotn-
srtvcs may bo led to correct arbitrary
and partisan election laws and practices ,
because a "healthy and patriotic local
sentiment is the host assurance of free
, uud honest oloctions. " Ho is not a creed
friend of republican institutions who
proposes that this question shall bo
wholly ignored , but all recognize that
its solution Is besot with great dllllcul-
ths , and that its consideration must bo
free from p ission , froni sectional feel
ing , and as far as possible from partisan
inlluonce. This is evidently the frame
of mind in which the president lias con
sidered it and ho would have boon un
faithful to his great trust not to have
given it any attention. But there is in
his views and suggestions nothing that
menaces the south with "negro domi
nation" or proposes the oxorcUo anywhere -
where of federal authority that could bo
objectionable to the honest voter and
good citizen. The president's position ,
which is the position of the republican
party , completely disposes of the "force
bill" as a present Issue.

The United States is steadily and
surely obtaining control of the Cuban
market. Prom present indications it
cannot bo but a fo-.v years , if reciprocity
is maintained , when about everything
which the people of Jub.i buy will bo im
ported from this country. It is a fact that
oven now nearly every article of import
that has been hitherto sen t to that island
from Europe is now carried from the
United Statos. Even fireproof bricks
arc being ordered of American makers
under heavy contracts , while machinery
to manuf'icturo the same is also receiv
ing attention.
It Is said that as a result of the tariff
on tobacco Havana has virtually no
cigar trade , and several manufacturers
are seriously considering offers of land
in several American towns which have
boon made to them as an inducement to
transfer their business to America. ANew
Now York firm of commission merchants
reports a decided advance in their export
business with the "Quoon of the An-
tilios" since reciprocity wont Into effect ,
Another house that exports bar and
sheet iron and Improved tools states that
tholr shipments to Cuba have grown
largely. It is the opinion of those
familiar with this trade that there
ought to bu within a few years pretty
nearly a balancing of trade between the
Unltod States and Cuba , whereas the
account has boon against this country
to the amount of about 80OOU,000 ; ! an
nually.
The proximity of Cuba , and the fact
that our merchandise shipped goes
mainly In American vessels , glvo us an
advantage. In dealing with that island
which wo do not enjoy with other lands
with which wo have reciprocity ar-
rangumonts , and cannot until wo have
transportation facilities equal to the
carrying of most of our exports.V o
have increased our commerce with all
of those countries , but an American
merchant marine is absolutely essential
ton rapid oxminslon of trade with the
South and Central American states with
which wo have or shall hereafter make
reciprocity arrangements. The ab
sence of transportation lines constituted
of swift and commodious steamships ,
Hying the American Hug , puts us at a
very docldod disadvantage , for It is In
evitable that , foreign ship owners will
discriminate as far as possible in favor
of the commoioo of tholr own countries.
The facts about the irado with Cuba
are interesting as illustrating what may
ho roisonably expected to flow generally
from reciprocity whenever wo are In a
condition to take the largest advantage
of Iho arrangements. Wo have miido
considerable Inroad upon the tr.tdo of
Europe with the southern countries
very largo gain , Indeed , when nil things
nro considered and there is every i oa-
son lo believe that if the commercial
policy thus inaugurated is maintained
wo shall secure the larger share of It
within the next four yoars. tt is not
surprising in view of what has already
been nccoinplishod that our commercial
rlvnlntn Europe take an untlroly dif
ferent view of the reciprocity policy
from that hold by the democratic , parly.
They do not regard it as a sham , but ns
a serious throat to a trade supremacy of
great value which they have long en
joyed. _

l'Unil ( ) ItU.lDS OF Afi/1/t.l.S/wL
Many of the progressive business ? men
of Omaha , who are alive to the impor
tance of promoting every interest that
Dears any rotation lo the development
of trade in this city , have lately been
giving some thought to the problem of
public road improvement. It is an old
theme of desultory discussion and al
most every man concedes with more or
loss indifference that something ought
to bo done , but the suggestion is now
made that action bo substituted for
words by holding a state convention
with tlio view of setting on foot an or
ganized movement that will produce
substantial results. Jt Is proposed that
the coiwontion bo hold in Omaha on
November 19 , and that a vigorous effort
bo put forth to make it a ropreso utativo
one.
one.That
That there Is a general sentiment
among men of inlluonce in the state in
favor of decisive stops in this matter was
shown at tlio last mooting of the Ne
braska State Business Mon sassociation ,
when resolutions were adopted strongly
urging the establishment of a state fund
for the construction and maintenance of
our public roads. A call for the conven
tion proposed would no doubt bo widely
responded to by business men and farm
ers of inlluonco' throughout the state ,
and so deep is the popular Interest in
the road problem that it is believed de
cisive results would ensue. The ques
tion lo bo determined is , not whether
iiomothing ought to bo done , but what are
the best measures to adopt for the relief
of the public from the acknowledged
cut-be of bad roads. A system suited to
the needs of Nebraska certainly cannot
bo formulated and adopted in a day , but
when an organized movement Isonco
fairly launched the diflicultios will ho
cleared away stop by stop until the way
Is made pla'n. ' It is not protondcd by
any friend of this project that Nebraska
can afford the luxury of perfect roads ,
but a vast improvement upon the pres
ent wretched system is believed to bo
practicable without too severely taxing
the resources of the people.
It is to bo regretted that owing to tlio
delay of the Douglas county commis
sioners in expending the $ l.r > 0,000 voted
by the people for road improvement it
will bo impossible to give the proposed
convention the benefit of our experi
ence. Had the money bean laid out
this year the fir-st oxporlmout of this
county in road making might have shod
light upon some important aspects of
the problem In time to bo of use in the
deliberations of the con volition.
A 1IUSIXK8SI MAX'S WEII'
A clear , intelligent and forcible state
ment , from a business man's point of
view , of the evils that would ensue from
the triumph of the free traders in the
approaching election , Is presented by
William G. Stool of Philadelphia , who
was formerly engaged in worsted manu
facturing In Br tdford , England , but re
moved ills business to this country on
account of our protective tariff. Mr.
Stool has employed the same class of
labor upon the same machinery In Eng
land and this country , and is familiar
with the condition of the working
classes In England under free trade and
in America under protection. Ho says
that ho has paid to American weavers
under tlio McKinley law $ Kl a week for
work on the same loom for which ho
paid $ ! 5.2. " ) a week In England. "Thoro
can bo , " lie says , "no parallel for us in
other nations , and therefore 'thoro can
bo no comparison of our causes with
their results , or the reverse , but it must
bo a plain fact that as wo reduce the
conditions here to the level of those of
our European competitors , BO shall wo
reduce ours lo tlio level of European
prosperity. "
The real kernel of the argument of
the advocates of protection Is expressed
in this sentence to reduce the condi
tions governing huslifess and wages in
this country to the European standard
would bo to court the Identical con
sequences which attend such conditions
in Europe , and the truth of this con
clusion is so apparent that it is hard to
see how any man can deny it and still
claim to bo sincere and honest. And
yet we hoar democratic free'traders on
every hand proclaiming vociferously
that protection , ] i rnhbery , and that it
is crushing thnuworklng classes of
America with ° elj ( | cruel burdens. In
this as in othqn , qisos , where partisan
/oal outruns tommA and common sense ,
it Is sure to fatbits object.
Till : chief or l p government bureau
of statistics louorts that us the result of
reciprocity the tCthnhiiHjd value of experts -
ports of cotton' ; ; Tirendstuffs , provisions ,
cattle , sheep anda hogs , all classed as
ngrlculturnl pi'dil&cts , of 1892 , exceeded
Iho exports o ' .l'feoo ( just before reel"
procity wns procliiiiuoil ) by S16llU38a23 ,
and exceeded thu average annual value
of thc&o exports for the ton years pre
vious by S21u,96oOoU These are
gigantic ligui cs , but are exactly true-
Such an opening of southern markets to
these products cnnrot fail to have a
direct beneficial effect upon every
farmer in Noljrasku , There is no
politics in this mnttor , It is simply busi
ness , but this business and this com
merce are tiio direct results of policies
inaugurated and legislation passed by
the republican party and denounced as
fraudulent and false by tlio democratic
party. Those are Iho facts as they must
speak to the farmer voters of America.
VKUMONT was expected to go repub
lican , but the democrats have been sayIng -
Ing that If the majority should bo less
than was given for governor four years
atro it would bo accepted as evidence of
a lack of unity and earnestness in the
support of Harrison for re-election.
Well , it appears that the majority is
somewhat below that of 1SS8 the full
returns may show it to bo sovoraF thou
sand loss but republicans generally
will not borrow any 'trouble ' from this
fact. Vermont will cast her electoral
vote for Harrison , and whatever cir
cumstances may have contributed to
reduce the republican majority on Tues
day last will very likely not bo opera
tive in November , when , it is safe to
predict , the republican majority will bo
up to the usual ample lltrures. It Is not
easy lo see how the democrats can do-
rlvo any comfort from the Vermont
election.
Tins death of ox-Senator Francis
Kornan removes the last of that quar
tette of eminent democratic .statesmen
who for nearly half a century were
prominent in the counsels of their party ,
both lu the Empire state and nation.
Compared with Charles' O'Connor ,
Horatio Seymour , Samuel J. Tildon and
Francis Kornan such men as G rover
Cleveland , Roswell Flower and David
Hill are intellectual pigmies. It is a re-
marKablc fact that Francis Kornan ,
Horatio Seymour and the late Roscoe
Conkling hailed from Uticn , and this il-
lublrious Irio made that city renowned
throughout the length and breadth of
the land. By the death of Mr. Kornau
the democracy of Now York loses one of
her most trustworthy leaders and the
state oi New York one of her ablest and
soundest lawyers.
IT is the dutyvof republicans of this
countv to stretiGrthon the state anu nri-
tional tickets by , reinforcing thorn with
popular and clean nominations to con
gress and the legislature. To this end
all selfish ambitions must bo repressed ,
and political hacks , boodle men and
barnacles mubtbe relocated to Iho roar.
The inoro fact that Douglas county gave
over 0,000 majority to Post lust year
affords no assurance that anybody and
everybody nominated this .year will bo
elected. Lust year peculiar conditions
and elements brought on a landslide.
This year the opposition will profit by
last year's experience. It would bo folly
to underrate the sagacity and stronirth
of the onomy. The nomination of a
yellow dog ticket on the strength of
last year's victory would surely entail
defeat.
Ir Tin : example of other cities is of
any value in the matter of maintaining
toaohors' training schools Iho supporters
of the training school in Omaha have a
good argument. A number of cities ,
some larger and some smaller than
On ) all a , have for years maintained nor
mal schools , and if they have boon found
advantageous in "such towns as Clovo-
lana and Dayton , O , , \v\\y \ should such
un institution not bo beneficial lie re V It
may bo granted that there Is force in
some of the arguments against the train
ing school , but they do not overcome the
fact that such schools have very gen
erally commended themselves to tlio ap
proval of practical educators and to the
favor of the public.
TlIK Board of Public Works has re
solved not .o bo trifled with by parties
who have boon ordered to lay permanent
sidewalks. Tho.board proposes that the
Instructions of the mayor and council
shall bo carried out without unnecessary
delay , and it will no longer accept the
various excuses for delay which it Is
said property owners are In the habit of
making. This is all right , and if the
board will act witl absolute Impartiality
*
in enforcing Us decree a needed reform
will bo institute ! ] . ' There unquestiona
bly has boon too much leniency shown
to derelict property owners In the past.

THIS opening of the Presbyterian
Theological Seminary In Omulia was a
significant event. There iu no reason
to doubt that such an institution may
be mude a grout success hero and
draw to it all the theological students of
the west of the Presbyterian denomi
nation instead of compelling them to go
to the oast. Omaha Is the right place
for suoh a school.
