It will be interesting to watch the results of the coining city primaries for indications of the strength of Iho move - meat for municipal reform Instituted by the Municipal league.

These dis patches were equalled in no other newspaper - paper in Nebraska , republican or tlem- ornilic. The people of Omaha were made aware of the presence of Governor McKlnley lu Nebraska by a large like ness of I heir guest In The llee , as well us by extended editorial comment. In Its own way , and of Its own volition , The llee recommended people who wished to hear republican doctrine on national issues expounded by one of the fort uiot leaders of the republican party , Irrespective of political belief , to make use of the opportunity thus offered to them. The 12MK ( ) people who gathered to llsk'ii to Governor MelCInley In Omaha attested the value of The I lee as nn ad vertising medium , and the effectiveness of the manner In which the meeting had been advertised.

The tariff reformers urge In justifica tion of their pulley that It will enable American manufacturers to extend their markets. They say Unit our In dustries have outgtown the home de mand and thai. It Is now necessary to lltiil other markets In order to keep thoM Industries active nnd American Inbnr employed. Said Mr. Wilson In his speech to Ills constituents on his ri'turn : "I say It Is for yon today a question of markets a question of con sumers the world over for the products you produce. The question Is , where are we to get these markets ? We have building for thirty years tariff walls to keep other people from coming In to compete with us In a home mar ket already glutted. Wo have now begun to tear down our tariff walls to let us out with oxir products to com l- pete with the rest of the world In all 11I the markets of the world. " The Ameri I- can market Is the greatest In the world. I.1. No other equal number of people con 1- sume as much as the people of the rutted States. According to the tariff reform leader , Mr. Wilson , It Is neces sary to open this magnillcent market to our great commercial rivals In order to enable our manufacturers to sell their products In the world's markets In competition with those rivals. Is it possible to conceive of greater futility than this ? Can any Intelligent man believe that It would be possible for American manufacturers to find In for- elgn markets , granting that they could get a generous share of their trade , Idn pensatlon for the sacrifice of the home 15ut how shall we capture these for eign markets ? In order to successfully compete with Great Britain , France and Germany In tlio world's markets we must produce as cheaply as they. The products of our Industries must ; innot only be as good as those of our rivals , but they must be sold at as low a price us theirs. Haw materials will not enable us to do this , because they are relatively a small factor. The great defactor is labor , KO that In order to en- able our manufacturers to enter the v.'orld'H markets In competition with tlif more cheaply produced mnnufac- tnred goods of Kngland , Kranco and Germany It will be absolutely necessary to reduce the cost of American labor to the level of Ktiropean labor. There is no escape from this , for it Is manifestly veabsurd to assume thnt we have nny Important advantage over those conn- tries lu superior skill and the greater etllcleney of our muchln- decry and labor. Whatever small advantage wo may have In sethese respects we cannot hold , for our rivals will not permit us to enjoy a monopoly of the most serviceable ma chinery , nnd they will learn of us what- ever they may llnd they need to learn In order to keep in the race for the world's trade. The democratic policy , therefore , to be successful , involves the cutting down of American labor In all ntIndustries to the European standard , and when this should be done there would be no assurance that the reduc- lion would stop there , because Kuro- pean manufacturers will reduce labor us long us It Is practicable to do so In ordur to maintain their hold upon the I tnnrkelft they now have , nnil low as Ihr , present , price of labor ) H la Kurope It j mny | | be cut n Illtlo more. In carrying i out the democratic policy , then-fore , n contest between American nnd Kiiro- ; , prnn ' : labor , 111 to which can be bought ( nt the lowest price , Is Inevitable , It mi'aiis , the ultimate dragging down of ' Hie ( | working people of the I'nitcd States to . the condition of living of the labor ( ing classes of Kurope. There Is no , . . > ether way under Unit policy us It Is ' explained ' by Its leading champion. No argument ' ought to be necessary to per suade American worklngineii that they cannot support this policy. The mere statement of what ll Is should be Hiilll- clent. 77fK SOM/ > The democratic slump In Georgia Is naturally regarded as significant of 41 tendency Inward new political contll- tlous lu the south , and considered In connection with the movement among the sugar planters lu Louisiana , the rapid growth of the populist party lu Alabama. Hie situation In West Vlr- glnla and Virginia. In both of which there Is a great deal of democratic ills- affection , anil other signs from that section , there Is certjiluly good reason for the belief that a break In Ilie solid south may not be far off. Georgia has been nn exceedingly Interesting hat He- ground this year , for nowhere hus , there been furnished a more striking Illustra tion of the divergence of views among democrats on the currency question. On the one hand Secretary Iloke Smith , representing the administration , has talked vigorously against , the free coinage of silver at It ! lo 1. while Speaker Crisp has. on the other hand , as earnestly advocated thnr policy. Two things were prominent In thu recent election In Georgia white democrats broke ranks nnd either voted against their party or stayed at home ; to (111 ( their places the democratic leaders np- pealed to the negro vote , but iniavall- Ingly. The colored voters went to the populists , as did the republicans1 , nnd the combination was a very strong one. Another interesting fuel is that there has mil been Ihe usual appeal to race prejudice. The democrats of Georgia and of several other southern states now want the colored voter , and hence he Is not being denounced as a dan gerous person politically. The populist party In the south having nsHiired the colored men that Ihey shall be pro- tecled In their political rights , has mil urally Induced a very large number of them to unite with that party. It seems probable tlmt the cry of negro domination will not play so great a part In future as it bus been playing. The Indications arc thai In Alabama the democrats will .suffer an even greater loss than has the party In . Georgia , and that If they win It will . be by n very small margin. The revolt t lie of the sugar planters in Louisiana Is certain to largely reduce the democratic , vote. In that state. The advices from the t Virginias are lo the effect that In both the democracy IHI losing ground. llf One Ihlng II appears to be perfectly safeto predict. The democratic cal culation of sending a practically solid delegation of democratic representatives tlt tives t from the south will not be ful- lllletl. I ! There will be fewer .southern democrats In the Fifty-fourth congress tt than t there are lu the present congress. A break In the solid south this year would be : i welcome political change and It would unquestionably be bene ficial | to Unit section. Itourboii rule there j has not been promotlve of the upbuilding of the south , either politi ' cally , socially or materially. A change could hardly fail to bring Improvement. ' Omaha will have to do si great deal lld of paving and repaying next year and to do this the city at large will have to defray the expense incurred for the street intersections at least. We think there Is no question as to the necessity of voting Intersection paving bonds In order to supply the funds for this pur ro pose. The ordinance introduced Into the city council at Its last meeting calls i ' I for the. submission to the voters of a proposition for bonds to the extent of 97. > ,00 ( > . The amount of money re quired will oC course depend entirely upon the streets which are ordered to lo.d be paved or repaved next year and . .dnl should be gauged according to careful estimates , lint If there Is to be nny margin it should bo on the side of ex cess rather than of deficiency. The. clly ought lo be ready to encourage property owners to petition for now pavements. It would certainly be un fortunate If the city should llnd Itself : compelled to deny petitions for pav'ng because the Intersection paving fund hail been exhausted sooner than was expected. There Is and for years has been a strong prejudice against Oinalm among citizens of the Interior of the state. No ' body Is ready to say what real basis there Is for such antipathy to the metropolis , but that it exists ( here Is no doubt. Now the farmers and laboring- JTT men throj-glgml Nebraska have Joined. tbp popiUiofc pnrty In largo nnmberx. They have committed themselves to nn organized protest against the power of railroad corporal Ions anil the capitalistic class , Every popuhsl shaker has some denunciation for the moneybags of Wall Mtreel. They have nmgiillted the case to the extent that many populists be lieve lliuC'tnTe men who vouirol the financial lira factious of Wall street have liini.\V9id ( \ ore the iirchetieiules of mankind. Vet. In * spite uf this scull- meat , Lnotui ; o prcuill in many pans of Nebraska , the bankers and railroad managers of Omaha have organized for the express. r purpose of widening tlio breach betw'ceu , these people and the moneyed interests of this stale. What ever the Hankers association muy tin In the present campaign will amount lo ( he Haunting of n red rag in the face of the popullstlc ' bull. J. W. .lohiisoti , secretary of the Slate Hoard of Transportation , a man whu Is today * ' mid has for years been Hie mere automaton of General Manager IIol- ' drege. vislled Kansas the other day and gathered what he calls fads and sta tistics In prove that a populist governor has ' ruined the credit of that stale. Now. the 1 $ . & M. road bus many agents In ' ' Kansas , any one of whom would , if Instructed ' ' so to do by Mr. Iloltlrege , supply any amount of tin In , which could ' be tortured to jnipport the railroad side of the argument , lint Mr. Johnson was chosen for the work because of his peculiar qualltlcatloiis for making white appear black. If the actual facts with reference to Kansas credits do not bear nut the claims of the Majors cnlams Mr. Johnson has but to < lraw upon his _ ' fertile ' imagination for all the data nec essary to make his case clear. It lias become apparent to the Majors con tingent that there is only one peg left for them to hang on If they cannot Miicceed In frightening the voters Into line or in clubbing them Into submis sion , the tattooed patriot will be con signed to the political consomme. It is reported that before Judge ICrown was Induced to accept the place made for him on the New York democratic utate ticket by the declination of Judge Gayuor Hie vacancy went a-beggiug to at least two of the leading null-snap per lawyers. The latter could not for get the epithets which Senator Hill lind j heaped upon them while trying to parry the attack which they had made ' against ' Mayna I , his pet candidate for the court of appeals last year. Senator Hill then called the whole New York liar assoeliitioiua set of namhy pamby lawyers aiul'accused them of being no better than Mtiynard , who had been caught stealing election returns. It Is little wonder , then , that Senator IIIII hail to look outsfde of New York City * i-f - * for a reputable lawyer who would con sent to run with 1dm. Colonel W. < Y.

Is out with an Interview throwlifg the blame for the democratic revulsion In that stale nil on tile shoulders of the lion. Iloke Smith , President Cleveland's obedient secretary of the Interior. Iloke went to Georgia , to show the people how much the administration could dote to roll up a bigger mountain of votes than ever before. He came out squarely for the president's financial policy , while Secretaiy Crisp on the same plat form declared for free silver coinage. Tlie result was n division on the money question , which kept disgusted demo crats at home on the day of election. Colonel Atkinson wants Iloke to keep his nose out of the pie next time. Chairman Wilson says that the house is to him a much more nt I rat-live Held than the senate.

Thus his life and work were sources of joy which made other persons' HVES hnpplcr and bettor. Such a man can never utterly die. He has left an Immortal heritage. His philosophy Is worth moro than that of all the Dryasdusts and his doctrine Is more livable than these of the dogmatists , He diffused Kinifihlne all about him and It radiated from him at the very last.
