Some of the recent utterances of Mr. ( lovolnnd , if they bo accepted ns seri ously meant , will not prove altogether comforting to the spoils soakers of Ma party. At n dinner given to tlio prosl- donl-oloct by Henry Vlllard a few ilnyn ago Mr. Cleveland spoke with some what more than Ills usual apparent eorl- ousnoHS regarding the responsibilities which confront the democracy. Ho said : "When I consider all that \vo have to do MB a party charged with the control of the government , I feel thnt our cam paign instead of being concluded is but just begun. What shall our perform ance bo of Iho contract wo have male with our countrymen nnd how well shall wo justify Iho trust they have imposed in us ? If wo see nothing in our victory but a llt'onao to revel in partisan spoils , wo shall fall at every point. " Tliq last Bontonco was clearly designed to convoy to place hunters a warning that the now administration will not permit itself to Do treated r.s a more purveyor of patronage , whoso llrst r.nd highest duty will bo to provide for the gieedy politicians who are preparing to besiege it. Mr. Cleveland knows fully the ruling instinct of hia partisans iu lhl < respect , and Vie has already learned since hh election what llioy expect. They have indicated thnt the test of his devotion to the democracy -that the proof of hi.s claim to bo a democrat- will cniiHiril in the euro ho lakes and the /o-il ho manifests in turning over the spoils to his partisans. They look for a radical dopnrUirn from the course pur sued by Mr. Cleveland during tbe early part of his llr.st adminUtiation , when hu allowed republic ins to complete the terms for which they were appointed and I'Oblowod ' import mt oflleos upon mugwump ! ! . They propose to demand thai republicans shall bo replaced by democrats as soon as it c'Ui practically bo dime and that none but democrats Hhnll bo placed on guard in the public olllcos. In every section of the country it Is tlio democratic undorHlandlng that only in this way can Mr. Cleveland give siti ; raclory proof and vindication of his democracy 11 will bo interesting toj-omombor the declaration ol the p.-cfcidmit-elcct with a view to seeing how far lie will be able to adh o to its spirit when the pressure ib brought to lie ir upon him. That his idea is light will hardly bo questioned , bui with ail liis acknowledged llrmness will ho bo able to make it olYoctivo in practice ? Can he resist the tremendous piessitro that will be brought to boar upon him to at once turn the entire public service over lo Iho democrats re gardless of the corsequoncus to that sorviceVVillhniindortako the severe task of opposing the pissionatc and per sistent appeals of his hungry partisans o bo placed in early possession of the spoils ? It is extremely doubtful. Ho \\ill bo anxious to have his policies prevail - vail , llo will want to completely doml- mto the party. In order to accomplish llicso things lie must cultivate ImrmonL jus relations with the party , and this ho nnnot do if ho disregards the demand 'or a prompt distribution of the p'ltron- igc in his gift. Ho must in any event lUappoint in my , but having m-ido his iilministratiori as completely democratic is possible it will not bo dilllcult to silence the disaffected. At any rate ho will thnioby vindicate hl democracy. Mr. Cleveland roali/.es that lie has thorny path to trend and it is not sur prising thathiamtnd is filled with "sober and oppressing reflection. " TIIK AlllilrUI.'IUttAITKItKSr. . The farmers of the country will find the annual report of Secretary Husk un commonly interesting. It is true that many of the facts presented have become familiar through previous publication , bul tbo secretary of agriculture presents pome information that will bo now to the funning interest. The year covered by the report witnessed a notnblo growtl of agriculture and satisfactory prosper ity for that interest. Owing to the fail tire of the crops in Europe lust year llioro was an extraordinary demand for American breadstuff : * , and ttio statistics show th'it ' of our vast exports , exceeding in value 81,000,000,000 , Si ) per coat con sisted of agricultural products. Thus i was the yield of thu farms of the coun try that gave the great balance in our favor in tlio trade with Europe. A very interesting patt of the roper lor the farmers of the eo-n : bolt refers to the incroiibod consumption of corn as human food in Europe. While the in troduction of this cereal to European tables has not boon so rapid and general as might have been hoped for or por- hnps expected by those familiar with its merits , btill gratifying progrcfs lias been innuo. Several mills are now grinding corn meal in Germany and lind a ready market for their product , while the demand in that country is reported to bo steadily growing. Elsewhere in continental Europe the efforts to intro duce corn as food for the people have not mot with oqunl success , but thj will como with time , and on Iho whole Amer ican corn producers have no reason to feel discouraged us to what has been ac complished. It would socm bafe to pro- diet that within a few yeara tlio Euro pean demand will easily take all the surplus nnd thus maint'iin the price at a prolitabla tiguro. With the Increased demand during the past year the price was held up to figures which made a dllforunco over the previous year amounting to 310,000,000 on the exports of corn , Hut the most marked growth has been made in the cuttle and moat trade. Tlio secretary suys that our inspection laws have restored the contldanco of foreigners in the henUhfiiltioss of our cuttle , and the demonstration of this is BOOH in the largely increased shipments siuca thoiu laws wont into operation. Thu effect has been marked on the price of cattle , the average increase per head for 1MI2 imvlny boon $ S , milk ing on the aggregate of cattle sold in a single yo r , according to tlio secretary's computation , $40,1)0(1,000. ) ( Certainly the luttlo raisers of tlio country have rov- bens to regard Ute inspection laws with favor , and to insist upon their reten tion. In addition to the exports of cat tlo. there has been a great increase in the shipments of moat to Europe , to the very matorlal benefit of the agri cultural Interest , Secretary Uusk gays with regard to domestic sugar , tlmt experience has demonstrated thnt it can bo produced with profit to the grower of the crop nnd to the manufacturer , if the condi tions insisted upon by the Agricultural department uro observed. The secro tnry submits a number of practical sug gestions which merit Iho .thoughtful consideration of the farmers of the country , not the least important ot which is that in order to secure moro prolitablo who.tt production the Amer ican farmer must reduce the wheat urea , and so bring production down to thu normal demand. , s///o ; /.v inn MAIL SKHVICI. . The annual report of the postmaster general will soon bo completed. It is understood that ho will repeat his former recomtnonda'ions for improved methods and moro liberal expenditures for the postal service and will review what has been done under his manage ment during the past four'yoars. . The operation of the mall subsidy law , the extension of the hottso-to-houso collec tions and the use of pneumatic tubes for the dispatching of mall will be con ; sidcrod. Hut pai hupi the tnojt interest ing part of liis report will bo that which relates to the sorting of mall on street cars. The postmaster at St. Louis has long boon an earnest advocate of this plan and now has two or three street cars at work on the jinos radiating from Iho heart of the city to the outlying sections and the results are very grati fying. It is expected that this system will save the time of the carriers and lesson their labor , but the speedy dis patch of the mails is the chief objuct to bo attained. It is proposed to establish a sm.ill mail service on the street car lines , with clerics and sorting cases , similar to those on the railway linos. A car starting from the point farthest removed from the central postollico would pick up mail as it ran over the route toward the ollico from the niroet letter Dcxos and from carriers who crossed tiic route from moro distant streets , and the clerks would sort It as fast as collected in onler to prepare itfor _ immediate dispatch from the central otlico. Lie tiers collected for local delivery would bo ready for the carriers who might bo starting from the olllco just as the car came in , while letters to bo sent beyond tbo city would bo ready to go at once upon the tr.iins without being ported at tlio ollleo. It is supposed that liiis sys tem would result in Iho hastening of delivery by several hours in many cases and that it might make a difference of n day in some of the through lines to distant points. Great accumulations of mail matter at the oostollices would thus bo avoided nnd. delays thereby caused would bo obviated. A report upon the results achieved by this system in St. Louis will be made and embodied in the report of the postmas ter general. If it proves satisfactory it will probably bo introduced iu other largo cilies. In New York 11 would un doubtedly bo successful. I'ostal cars would bo run on the elevated rends and would pick up a vast amount of mail sorted and ready for sending out from tlio central ollico. If this system proves to bo satisfactory it can cnsily bo used with certain modi fications in every important city in the United Stales. It will not bosurorising if it is seen in operation in Omaha very feoon. There is good reason to believe that it will prove successful and that by the application of this system the collec tion of mail in cities will bo greatly' accelerated. mi.ir mu ITI' Another great strike has borne its legitimate fruit. The Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers has acknowledged its defeat , and such of its members as can may return to tlio employ of the Carnoaio company , which they voluntarily left last Juno. Many of these men cannot got their old places back and must look elsowho.-o for em ployment. They are in a bul llx. The association , which has supplied funds for their subsistence , has cut off assist ance and they are loft to stand on their own botlotn. During the time the strike has been in progress it has involved 10,000 men and has cost in wages at least SiMMO.OOO , not to speak of the bloodshed and suffering1 entailed by the terrible riot at the works and tlio subsequent ro- Hiiltnnt expense to the stale of $500,000 to maintain troops at the worics. And now the men are to go baclc , if at all , in precisely the material rolnlioti lo the company as when they left , except that their association will no longer bo recognized. All of this because men , "clothod in a lltilo brief authority , " stllToa their nocks nnd harden their hearts , and hasten to a trial of strength , reckoning not the cost of victory or dcfoat. Just a little unbending , just a little roahoning , just a liUlo giving in , and tliero would have boon no Homestead strike. Had the men conceded the request to pro ceed under the old schedule until a now and batter ono had been formulated , homos that were then huppy would still I bo happy ; hearts that then boat high and warm would still bo quick with vigorous life , and families that look far- ward to a winter of privation because the father has no work would bo blessed J with plenty during thu long cold months , when hunger is sure to pinch. .1 VVIILIO il.tllRB'f Tlioro appears to bo a strong demand in the oily of Omulm for a ] ) ublio mar * liot. Nearly nil of the largo cities in United Suites have such inarkutH , but at present Omaha hue nothing of the kind , There nro thousands of pcoplo in this city who would patronize n public innr- hot , but ut present they buy of local dealers and pay moro thm ; they should for ovorylhing they purchase. Thia is ' no rellcolion upon ll'io sellers , for they nro obliged lo make a. profit The pub * Hu inarkot plan would olTor llioin Boino new lloldb of work which liavo not yet been occupied. The chief obstacle which presents itself - self is the largo cost of suitable grounds- co tit rally located , But it is believed by good business men that this dillculty can bo obviated. There are several localities in the central part of the city that can bo had for this purpose. It cannot bo doubled tliut u public market would bo patronized by thousands of pee ple in Omnha , pud there is a growing demand for 8uehrVnnrkol. THE suicide ' $ ( ' tUron do who w.ts compromised in the Panama canal scandal , Adds another tragical chapter to that ifiolt } unfortunate enter prise , for the thousands vvlio found a premature doitl ; ( oh the work of the canal must not td ) 1o\t \ out of considera tion , nor should ; the many poor people of Franco who fnotirnod themselves to death over the loss qf their investments in Iho canal bolide bo loft out of the account. From''b6gnnlng ! to end this scheme bus had. Jt tragical episodes , and doubtless thOro are moro to como. Among the vMoiinry and Impracticable timlei takings of man , the Panama canal project stands unrivalled , and yet the man who conceived it and who may close his Hfo as a convicted criminal was esteemed one of Iho greatest engi neers Iho world hail known , enjoying the unquestioning conlldonco of his countrymen. Ho had constructed the Sue/ canal and tlio successor Unit enter prise gave him almost boundless prestige , bringing him also great honor and emolument. Unfortunately H led him to believe that there were no obstacles in engineering that ho could not overcome , and ho was able to make the French pcuplo believe with him. Thus ho was ouablcd to secure hundreds of millions of dollars to bo hopelessly sunk in the ditch across the Isthmus of Panama , which will remain , perhaps , forever a monument ol human folly. Tlio history of this enterprise is now to bo investigated in the French courts , upon accusations that a ptirt of the funds raised were improperly used , and I is not improbable that Ferdinand do jcsseps , the author of the project , may end his days in prison. Tun case of Gaorgo I. Hagloy , the express messenger who robbed the Jnitod Sfites express company of $100- 000 that was placed in ils care by an Omaha bank , affords another proof that lonesly is the best policy and that it s extremely dilllcult for a thief lo got i way with his booty and escape detec tion. Tlio most natural comment upon this theft is that IJagloy was a fool , and -hat a wiser man would have pursued a lifferont course and kept out of the clutches of the police. But it is much easier to lay successful plans after lhan joforo detection , and it appears to bo a 'act ' that men naturally honest are reduced to imbecility when they are in the act of committing a great crimo. An illustration of tills is found in ii recent cnso in ( ho state of Now York. A young man who had boon employed ns a clerli in a bank and bad often been sent to the express oflico for paokngos of money , conceived | the idea of tele graphing to Now York for $25,000 in the name of Iho casliior , , The next day ho went into the express otlico and the package of money was delivered lo him without questioner , suspicion. Ho took it under his arm and- wont to u neigh boring town , wlioro ho and the $ " 5,000 were found the i'uxtmorning ) , in u dis reputable house. . Men seem to lese their heads completely when they cm' bark in such enterprises on impulse. The deliberate , professional thief some times fares botto'r , but even ho has a poor chance of escaping the grip of Iho law. Tun opinion of World's Fair Com missioner Mobloy that the coming legis- laluro will have to appropriate $100,000 additional for the Nebraska exhibit in order to make it worthy of the slnlo is interesting and important. It has long boon apparent that the 850,000 already appropriated would fall far short of the requirements. The point to bo kept in mind is that Iho exhibit is not merely for the gratification of state pride , but far the promotion of substantial Interests osts in which evorycitl/.en is concerned. In a certain scnsd these state oxhibts will bo competitive and as a moans of advertising they will bo unsurpassed. Apart from nil considerations of patri otism it is important that the Nebraska exhibit should bo among the best and most attractive. NKIIRASKA democrats will bo greatly cheered by reading this piece of consolation lation lo Iowa democrats , taken from the Davenport Jhinocrut , and applying it to their own cases : "Thoollloial ( iguros will probably show that had the demo crats of Iowa consented lo fuse with the populists that iinti-IIarrlHoa electors might have been chosen as they were in seine of the western stales. But had a guarantee of this boon given in advance no such bargain could have boon made. Thodoinocralsof Iowa have sacrificed no principle Ihoy hold dear ; Ihey have made a courageous fightand if they have been beaten they have not boon dishonored.

Ho oven soouicd to think that the partv owed It to him for tbe record no iniulo at the last soss'.on. Ho also hud an Idea that n majority of the legislature nileut insist on his iroing to the icnnto , and said that in such nn event hu would feel In duty bound to obov. It will bo remembered that last spring ho was undecided - cidod whether to bo a candidate ( or governor or United States senator this fall , llo has niado up bis mind to a certain extent bo will not bo a candiilato for governor. A politician who Is prominent la Independ ent councils , nnd who lives not vorv far from the Fifth congressional district , w.is in the city yesterday fora short time , and in speaking of the probable notion of the legis lature with reference to tlio election of a son ntor said , "I'll toll you one thing tbat you needn't ' print at The present tlini ) , but you can write it down in your faimlv bible that \V. J. Bryan will not ba ttie next senator from this state. That young man has got about as high as ho ever will with the helpot the Independent party , and it is con ceded that ho will got nothing from thu next legislature without tha as sistance of the independents. Ho fooled us once , and that wmn't ur fault , but it will bs our fault if tie fohls ua again. Our state central commlttoo sold out to him body and soul , and sacrilicod our can didate for congress In the First uiUrlct In his interest despite the protests of some of the candidates on our slate lickot , wbo were suspicious that all was not as it should debut they were assured tbat it was all right and that Bryan would deliver our candidates all the votes tnat ho had promised. They were kept qtiot with tnat assurance and tbn result shows that It was just an thiy bad feared Bryan secretly did nil that bo could to defeat thorn , and our ticket was everlastingly knocked out from one end of the First district to the othor. If he bad kept fnitli with us , wo would have elected some if not all of the candidates on our state ticket. "If Mr. Bi'yan loses five independent votes , ho cannot possibly bo elected , and 1 person ally know of eleven that bn will never got , and there mav bo moro. I want to see an in dependent sent to the senate , out I realize tbat chances nro considerably against it. f was a republican before I was an hide- pciiGcnt , and Ifvo have to go outsldo our party it would bo a loair time before I would advise the support of n democrat , for I know wlyit they are. I realize what wo will have to contend with , for there are a few individ uals wbo go around spreading the belief that they have tbo Independent party In their poclfots , and endeavoring to sell out to tha highest bidder. Some of them can bo found within 1,000 miles of the capital , and they use their neil tlon to glvo color to their assertions that their word is law with the party. They are always willing to soil for whatever they can got , and if they could not got a national mint they would take a country postoftlca and bo well satis Hod.
