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.

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.

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. "

that the contest now pending nvor his rlcht
to n scat in the next legislature would rimilt
In bis f.ivor. It comes up boforj tbo supreme
court at Lincoln today. TouchliiR his enndl-
ilncy for his old position as pre
siding ofllccT of the houso. Mr.
ISldur nalil : "If tlio ooys want ino ,
why of course I'll help 'em out , " but soon
gave the impression that he was not as In-
dllloront about lliu m.ittoriu ho would hnvo
ono believe , uy saying that ho did not Ihinlc
that the party could afford to put nn inex
perienced man in the place when they had
ouo who was perfectly familiar with
what was reijulred to 1111 tbo posi
tion with orodlt to himsnlf and the party.
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. That is where Bryan gets his pull
with them , and when he tells them ho will
give thorn a slice of tlio pitronago for the
support of tno pirty they nt otioa sot about
the tuslc of delivering the goods. They nro
half crazy m their earnestness to
throw the independent , vote In the
legislature to him , but unfortunately
for them and for Mr. Ilryau , they do not
own tbo party. That treacherous individual
will not got the necinsary votes , and ho will
not roprasont this state In the sonata. If I
don't know what 1 am wilting about you can
advertise mo alter the thing ia settled as t he
most monumental Idiot wno over set foot on
tbo fertile soil of Nebraska. "

iay tnoy will send to the sonulo nt uu early

think they will put the republicans In an om-
barrassiuit position. If the republicans pass
the bill democrats hold that it will bo n
precedent for their repeal to the state bnnlc
tax. There la no relationship to the two
propositions. Republicans object to the repeal -
peal of state biuiK law because money issued
by state banks Is mndo a fraud and swindles
