The reaction of the Katlroad Business
Men's iiHKOfliillon movement Is some
thing that its originators forgot to count
upon. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Friday and Siitunlny of this week nre
tlic only rcMiialnliiK ro lstnitlon days.
Don't ncslect to resistor If you have
not already done so.
With nil Its threats , bulldozing and
coercion , the Railroad Business Men's
association has bwn unable to show
one-half of the boasted 1,500 signatures
to its calamity manifesto.
Secretary Morton will not come borne
*
, ! to vole. Ills enthusiasm for the pie-
Liter ticket headed by Sturdevant Is
not milHcicnt to make the exercise of his
franchise desirable this year.
The Burliiiglou organ tells us that the
workltiKincn of Omaha arc up In arms
ngalnst The Bee for Its attitude with
reference to the Omaha calamity cru-
Miuk'rs. Better wait until the votes are
counted.
President Cleveland Is not yet worry
ing over his Thanksgiving proclamation , ,
as some poojtle would have us believe.
He Is sure to have something to bi-
thankful for. If It Is only his prospective
exit from public life.
The railroad managers cannot befog
the Issue , try as they may. This Issue
Is that of corporate domination against
popular sell'-governmeiit. The voter
must choose with which cause be pre
fers to be associated.
It was a great head that originated
the plan of campaign calculated to ar
ray the merchants of Omaha against
their patrons and In opposition to thu
Interests of the people. But It has
proved abortive. The people have repu
diated It.
There arc two worn-out politicians
whose peculiar methods In behalf of
railway prompters were somewhat suc
cessful In Cltiy county. But their effort
to transplant those methods Into Doug
las county politics In meeting with the
rebuke It so richly deserves.
Tlio Boo has elm wed that T. J. Ma
Jors during tins last session of the senate
kept nud maintained n private liquor
dispensary lu the state liouso for the
rerrealiincnt of hl.s frlendH and paid rail
road lobbyists. . Tim charKo has not
boon disproved nud It never cati lie ,
Many inert-hauls who were led Into
slKiiliiK the Kave-tho-Hlatc manifesto are
opposed to mixing business with poll
tics under any clrcumstunces. The rail
roud boncflclarlcH who seduced them
Into the trap are alone to hliitne aur
must Koouer or later suffer the con&e-
qneuccs.
The ladles of Omaha have It within
their power to place one of their sex
upon the school board of. this city. The
result will be a good Indication ns to
whether the women of Omaha care to
exercise tht franchise In school elections
vouchsafed them by the laws of this
state.
The Bee has charged and the senate
Journal shows that T. J. Majors signed
the salary voucher of Senator Taylor
for services' not rendered and with the
full knowledge of the day when Taylor
absconded and the cause of bis flight.
The charge has not been disproved and
It never can be.
The cltlKiMiM of Omaha are vltnlly con
cerned In the men who are to be elected
to the city council. It Is not u question
ot party , but of competency nnd In
tegrity. A word coniielliniin exerts

CATTLE IX OStatAlfT.
The exclusion of Amcrtc.in cattle nnd
Ircsscd meats from all Ihe ports of Ger
many may not , by Itself , bo n very seri
ous matter. According to the secretary
of agriculture Germany took last year
only -1,000 , head of. our cattle nnd the
quantity of dressed beef sent thcro wan
not very large. The loss of this trndo
would not , therefore , be felt. But there
Is no assurance that It will be confined
to Germany. On the contrary there Is
great probability that this concurrent
action of the German states , presumably
approved by the Imperial government ,
may bring about a general movement
In European countries against the Im
portation of American cattle , or may
end to Btich stringent "regulations ns
will materially restrict Importations.
England Is the great market Cor our
cattle,1)iit all the beef we export to that
country Is not consumed tin-re. There
n no data showing how much of It Is
sent to the continent , but perhaps fully
one-third of It is thus disposed of , so
that If tills continental trade should be
nit off It would mean u very Important
loss to the American cattle Interest.
Tlu-n It Is to be considered whether this
action of Germany may not lend the
British government to Impose greater
ostrlctlons upon the admission of Amer
ican cattle than are now In practice.
The cattle producers of Great Britain
will welcome an excuse for doing this ,
and one la provided If there Is any sub
stantial ground for the statement that
atlle nllllctcd with Texas fever have
eon shipped to Germany.
Tin-re is another view of the matter
that naturally suggests Itself. That Is
that the action of the German states
may be the Initiative of n policy of re
taliation to be extended to our pork pro-
lucts In the event of congress deciding
to maintain the one-tenth of a cent dif
ferential duty on sugar imported from
icrnmny. Of course there la the ussnr-
inco of the German ambassador that
this action was taken for sanitary rea
sons solely and has iu > political motive
behind It lie would hardly be expected
to acknowledge a political motive.
\VliL-n Germany excluded our pork pro-
lucts and for years refused to revoke
the embargo that government always
liHtllled Its Course on sanitary grounds.
It changed Its policy only when it be
came a matter of self-interest tn do so.
Germany has made a formal protest to
our country against the differentia !
ilitty 0:1 sugar from countries- paying
mi export bounty , so far as it nflW'ts
the product of that country , and It Is
not an unreasonable assumption that
the action regarding American cuttle is
Intended ns notice that If this sugar
duty Is adhered to we may expect re
taliation. We could justly find no fault
with the German government If it were
to adpot such a course. We have not
acted In good faith under ( lie arrange
ment entered Into when Germany re
voked the restrictions against the 1m-
imrtatton of our pork products , nnd we
liavc no right to expect any favors from
that government if we Insist upon a
policy of bad faith. Germany claims
that the differential duty on sugar Is
mi especial hardship to a most Impor
tant interest of that country , and. more
over , that It violates the "most favored
nation" clause of the treaty between
thu two countries. However this may
there can be no question that the
German government has valid reasons
for complaint nnd protest , nor can
there be any doubt that If thp.se are not
heeded It will resort to retaliatory meas
ures. The powerful agrarian interest
will demand this and the demand will
not be Ignored , for the latest Informa
tion points to a purpose nit the part of
the government to foster this interest.
In 1S89 the exports ( o Germany from
this country of bread-stuffs , cattle and
provisions amounted to about $0,000,000.
In 18KJ , under the commercial agree
ment that had been made , they had In
creased la value to S.'ei.OOO.OOO. A con
siderable part of this Increase was in
meat products. It will be seen that n
policy of retaliation on the part of Ger
many would mean a large loss to our
agricultural interest.

.Mr. Cleveland hns thus fur turned a
deaf oar to every appeal to him to In
dorse Senator Hill. lie did not register
when he passed through Ni > w York City
last week on his return to AVashlngton ,
so that ho will not vote at the coming
election. lie has said nothing to Indi
cate what his feeling Is regarding the
regular democratic ticket in New York ,
hut the obvious Inference from his act
ion Is that lie does not favor It , Not only
IUIH he refused to make nny declara
tion himself favorable to the ticket
leaded by Senator Hill , but It would
seem that he has Interposed to prevent
my member of Ma administration doing
inytldng to help the regular paity or
ganization. Secretary Carlisle was to
have made n speech In New York , but
has announced that he will not speak
there or elsewhere , the excuse being
that the condition of public business In
the Treasury department prevents him
taking any part In the campaign. The
opinion ut Washington , however , Is that
the secretary gave tip bin contemplated
peeehos at tlie request of the president ,
ami this Is doubtless correct. The state
ment Is made that until the return of
the president to Washington Mr. Car
lisle was strongly Inclined to speak In
Indiana and New York , nnd there hns
been no change In the condition of the
treasury within a week to necessitate
thu rellnquljhmont of his desire In this
respect. It Is significant , also , that the
two representatives of New York In tha
cabinet. Secretary of War Lament null
1'ostmaster General HiSsell , arc taking
no nctlvi ) part In the campaign In that
state , and ua they are very close In the
confidence of Mr. Cleveland they nre
probably acting in compliance with his
wishes. In view of the fact that mem-
berx of the administration have taken
an active part In campaigns iu other
states thu refusal of the president to
himself bo Identified with the Important
contest ot tlu democracy In the Umpire

Kreo of h j
ago will be. mil tins the active sup
port of many earnest frlcnda of the pres
ident , but some of these niny be now
persuaded to withhold this ou election
tiny and follow the example of Mr.
Cleveland by not voting. In the mean
time the attitude of the president Is be
ing Bcveivly criticised by one class of
democrats nnd warmly commended by
another class. The former contend that
JIM the head of the party Mr. Cleveland's
duty is to exert his Influence In behalf
of tile regular party organization In Ids
state. The latter maintain that the po
litical character and methods of Senator
IH1I tire such that the president cannot
Indorse him without serious detriment
to his own political reputation. Mean-
while the republican cause continues to
prosper and nil the signs nre favorable
to the election of Morton nnd to a gain
of perhaps half a. down republican rep
resentatives. Even were Mr. Cleveland
to now make n. declaration In favor of
IIII1 of the strongest kind It could
hardly save him from defeat
K scnooi ,
The patrons of the public schools de
sire above nil things an etllcletit and
honest management of our school sys
tem. They are concerned In the char
acter anil capacity of the teachers and
the economical disbursement of school
funds. It Is Immaterial what political
creed members of the Hoard of Kduca-
tlon profess or whether they an- at
tached to any party. In fact , a nonpartisan -
partisan school board has become almost
an absolute necessity In the Interest of
an economic administration of our edu
cational system. When members
of the board owe their positions to the
parly machine alone they must reclpro-
catc by favoring the ward heelers and
using the patronage of thu school board
for partisan ends ,
The weakest spot of our present
school board is Its extreme partisan
ship and subservience to ward pollti-
clans.
This year , as in all previous years.
The Bee favors the election of a nonpartisan -
partisan board. Under present condi
tions the best that can be done is to se
lect the best material front the tickets
already i.omluatel. At the coming cle.-
tlon five members are to be chosen.
The Bee has , after mature reflection ,
decided to recommend the following
candidates : Jonathan Kdwnrds. T. E.
Crumble t , J. G. Gilmore , Mrs. Kiln
W. Peat tie and It. E. 1 $ . Kennedy.
Tlie first two were nominated by the
republicans. Mr. Gilmore Is endorsed by
the Municipal league and the last
named two are nominated by the demo
crats. This Is by no means Intended
to discredit other candidates , but what ,
in the judgment of The Bee , would
come nearest to meeting- the demand
for a nonpartlsan board.
WHO MIShKAD.
Democratic leaders generally have
either a very poor opinion of the Ink-Ill-
geiicu of the people or very little concern -
corn for the truth when they persist In
claiming , for the purpose of shifting the
responsibility for existing conditions
from the shoulders of their own party ,
that under the last tariff law the gov
ernment did not collect enough re'veniie
to meet expenditures nnd that at the
close of the Harrison administration the
national treasury was bankrupt. Atten
tion was recently called to Sir. Bayard's
inlsstatementa of history tn this regard ,
but he Is not the only or the worst sinner -
nor among the democratic lenders In
this mutter. In New York , Mussuehu-
setln , Pennsylvania. Ohio nnd other
states tlie burden of their tails Is that
the existing state of affairs is due to the
fact that the republican party disposed
of the surplus left in the treasury by
democratic administration and enacted
a tariff law that reduced revenue below
expenditures. With the facts accessible
to everybody It seems extraordinary
that men will hazard their reputation
'or liooMy iTiid veracity by ira'ting'sucli
statements.
It may be worth while to say again ,
before the campaign clones , that there
was not a year of the Harrison admin
istration when the revenue of the gov
ernment did not exceed the expend
itures. Benjamin Harrison became
president March 4. IHSfl. and the three
fiscal years following yielded revenue
in excess of expenditures to the aggre
gate amount of $ irrOflO)00. ( ) The term
of the Harrison administration expired
March 4 , IS ! ) . ' ! , and even for tlie fiscal
year ending June : ! ( ) , 18K1 ! , hi the last
portion of which the revenue was af
fected by the disturbance of business
the revenue exceeded the expenditures
by ? 2,5 ( 0,000 , , That was a great falling
off. but it was not iln to the McICInley
tariff , which had yielded a much larger
excess In 1801 nnd 181KJ. It was caused
by a threatened tariff revolution , which
caused a great curtailment of importa-
( Ions at- the same time that It brought
nearly the whole of the manufacturing
Industries of this country to a standstill
and demoralized the whole business of
the nation. Thu value of Imports for tin ,
year ending Juno HO , 181H , was ovei
Ic.ss than for the preceding
fiscal year.
Not a dollar of the gold reserve was
used during the Harrison ndminlstrn
lion for paying the current obligation ! '
of the government , and when tliepresen
administration came Into power thcgoli
In thu treasury amounted to $105,000.
000. There was In addition to tills othe
funds which brought the total cash bal
unco In the treasury at the close of th
last administration up to $121,000,000 ,
It Is trim the great surplus had goni1
nnd In what way ? Tlie greater part o
It had been returned to the people li
payment for the bonds of thu govern
nient , thus at once saving Interest am
enabling the people to make use of th
money. During Mr. Cleveland's flrs
term this public debt was reduced fl-llt ,
RSl.l.- ! , while during the Harrison ail
ministration the reduction was $2riO,071 ,
000 n difference of over ? ll.ri,000,000 ii
favor of the latter. A part of the sur
plus was used In paying Increased pen
slons and part went to improving th
clllcleucy of the public service , wide
had deteriorated under thu first Clevi
land administration. There was no

cause of this conviction that they are
going right along prosecuting a vigorous
campaign for the canal bonds. There
will be no more ditliciilty in disposing of
these bonds after Judge Holcomb's elec

otpt the stringent Inspection of American ex

tary Morton has nllowej the Inspection to go
Into the hands of Incompetent political favor
ites. It Is mora rom cmnbte to bollevo that
the prohibition Is the fulfillment of the
threat of retaliation. The pretext of diseased
eattlo ts put forward because the Gennan
government Is not ready yet to enter openly-
upon I Ihe policy of retaliation. Tlio meat
product was not covered directly by recipro
city. Therefore , consistency seemed to re-
cjulro ! that some other excuse ho found for
selecting it as the subject of retaliation.
Out It Is retaliation none the less.
Chicago Tribune : It Is well understood
the allegation that fever lias been met with
idat only a pretext for action In response to
our discrimination against German , sugar ,
caused by the abrogation of the reciprocity
treaty and the Imposition of the differential
rate. It Is also not Improbable the German
government thought by acting promptly con
gress might ho Induced to eliminate the dis
criminating duty against sugars receiving an
export bounty or Its einilvalent , and that If
congress falls to act thus Germany may take
the further step of relmposlng an embargo
otT pork products from the United Slates.
The : latter would be far moro damaging to
our Interests than the * tep reported , as
our exports of cattle and beef to Germany
are small. The notion already taken exposes
the : asinlnlty of congress In abolishing the
reciprocity . treaties , and Iho further step
suggested would but confirm the exposure.

EDINBURGH. OoL 31. A conference o < the
Scottish Conservative associations was held
hero at which a large tiuml'T of persons
were present. It was expected Mr. Unlfour
would bo present , but lie could not attend
on account of Illness. Ex-Prlma Minister
Salisbury made a speech In which ha scath-
liiRly criticised Lord Kosebcry's recent
speech nt Bradford. Ho described the ngltn.-
llon against tlio House of Lords ns a herring
In the path of homo rule. Ho did not be
llevo llosebery was In earnest In hts pro
posed vague resolutions regarding the IIouso
of Lords. It would be harmless and 1C sub
mitted to tlio country It would be In nowise
llko the foreign referendum to which Rose-
bcry had likened It. Ho , himself , would not
speak against a referendum. In fact , he
thought It decidedly advantageous In the
form In which U existed In America for good
government and the stability of the country.
Doubtless Archbishop Walsh's well drilled
battalions would pass Hosobery's resolution
against the voice of the country. "Do you , "
he asked , "Imagine the resolution would
possess . any moral authority whatever , or
; that nny Eane human being could Imagine
that , England or Scotland would debase them
selves , go far as to put their necks under the
heel ot south and west Ireland ? It Is ludi
crous , They may pass all the resolutions
they like , but a bill embodying such pro
posals will never bo accepted by the House
ofnl Lords and therefore will never be recog
nized by the courts of law. No such change
In the constitution Is possible without a con
siderable majority of the people being In Us
favor. "
Salisbury urged that on several occasions
In his experience the House of Lords had
supported liberal measures against conserva
tive opposition. If the House of Lords had
become virtually a conservative body ft was
because Gladstone's Irish policy had driven
them In that direction. K the Irish question
was once moved out of the way the House
of Lords would gradually , though perhaps
slowly , settle back Into the old position tn
which the parties were evenly balanced.
He added : "If the proposition of handing
the government over entirely to n single
chamber should come before the country ,
which I do not believe It will do , we have
to confront the greatest danger the commu
nity has had to face In many centuries.
Regular domination of a single chamber has
not been adopted by any considerable coun
try on the face of the earth. If anyone
thinks the government ot Greece has been
a success under the single assembly , let him
buy Greek stocks. Can It bo supposed pos
sible to govern India by on Independent
House of Commons where the Ideas of fad
dists might become law without a chance of
an appeal to a higher authority ? One other
point : But for the House of Lords you will
now have eighty votes In the House of Com-
mous , salable to the highest bidding party ,
making you and your Interests slaves ol
Archbishop Walsh and his friends. "
Without saying anything about the main
tenance of the 1'ousc of Lords in its present
form he appealed to all who believed In the
religious Institutions of the country , In free
dom. In the security o contract and the
sanctity of property , to combine to support
the second chamber , which , he declared , was
neeessarv to control tlio decisions of the
elective chamber.
Lord llosebery , speaking at the unveiling
of a status of Edmund Btirko at Bristol last
night , attributed the greatness of character
of that statesman to the fact that he loved
reform and hated revolution. Politicians , ha
said , would derive n great deal ot consolation
from studying lila life.

nmiLIN , Oct. 31. The usual crop of
rumors are In circulation today In regard to
possible ministerial changes In addition to
those already denied , One of them nt least
seems to obtain some credence. It Is tha
report hat Count Herbert Dlemarck Is to bo Jj.
made an ambassador to one of the great "
lowers , while another version of his pres
ence In this city Is that he la to bo made A
councilor to the chancellor. The news-
lapers of this city confirm the report that
fJerr Karl Heinerlch von Heydan Cadow ,
.he Prussian minister of agriculture and do
mains anil forests. Is to resign , a step which
may bo connected with the conference with
he ministers of Dr. Kurl Helnrlch von
Boettscher , the vice president of the cuuuou
of ministers and the Imperial secretary jf
state for the Interior , when the chancellor ,
Priiico Hohenlohe , and the minister of the
Interior , Hcrr von Kocller , were not present
and where It is understood the most serious
oilc [ discussed wag the disturbance among
Ihe peasants at Welsa , Havarla. which re
sulted In tlio sending of troops lo > suppress
rlotlnff. In this affair two p asnta
killed , being bajronctted by the soldiers.
It U elated Prince llohonloho ha com
lin an agreement with Kmporor Wllllflrr
which will cliniiKf. the Imperial policy In
sevtral ' Important respects. The first visi
ble sinn of this Is the insuancn of an oraor
litl establish agricultural bureaus In connec
tion with the Ucrmnn embassies at London
tlit
don , Washington , I'nrls , Vienna and St
PetoisburR. Thl step IB looked upon a
evidence .of n stricter protective agrarian
policy , which Is known to hnve been con
templated for some Himpast. . Hut dull-
cullies In this connection arose with th
old ministry. It U also wild Hint the gov
ernment Intends to establish an Imperial
colonial ministry , mid this la looked upon til
a sign of an active continental policy ,
WASHINGTON , Oct. 31. The Associated
press cable announcing the establishment nt
Washington of an Agricultural bureau In
connection ' with the Herman embassy hero
excited much Interest at the embassy. It
XVHS stated there that such action had been
contemplated for Ecver.il months and an im-
olllclal notice of the plan had been made
some time ago. Now that the olllclal ord T
Is Issued It ls hoped the ciueMlon will go
before the German Itelchstag
, as an appro
priation for sustaining the \Voshlngton
bureau Is a necessary result of the order
establishing . It. It Is believed that the
bureau ' will not be actually established hero
until the Kclchstag has acted , As yet the
embassy has heard no names suggested for
the position , which would have tli # rank of
n technical attache similar to the voluntary
attaches. Such an olllcer would be en
tirely new to the diplomatic service of Wash
ington. The extent of Ills duties are luit
clearly understood , but It Is supposed they
will cover an attention to thu trade In beet
nugnr and other agricultural products which
recently have liccu Interrupted by the ter
mination of the reciprocity treaty. Tlie
German embassy already li.is a trade nt-
tnclio stationed In Chicago , his duties being
wholly of a commercial character. From
the fact that the new c Ulcer Is to be located
at Washington It Is presumed among gov
ernment olllclals that lie will have a watch
ful eye on the national legislation affecting
Germany's agriculture and the carrying out
of the policy stated In
the Berlin cable of n
stricter protective agrarian policy.
The United States now has Colonel Mur
phy , a special agent of th * Agricultural de
partment , operating In Germany , but he Is
not attached to the United States embassy
as the German ollicl.il will be attached to
the German embassy here. It Is thought
that the activity of our Agrlcultuarl de
partment In rushing American corn and
other products In Germany may have In
spired the creation of the agricultural at
taches here and at other capitals.
