Our amiable contemporary , the Worl

nor expects to be appointed chief <

that the suggestion Is inspired by slnl

that the selection of a Itomau Cathol

thing that the howling dervishes u :
praying for.
TIIK Ct.Ult I.KAOUE CONVENTION.
The convention of the National
League of Kepubllcan Clubs , which will
bo held In Cleveland next week ,
promises to be one of tlio most largely
attended conventions since the organiza
tion of the league. It Is now ten years
since Ihe method of party organization
y clubs was adopted and out of this
row the league , which nt this time has
membership of more than 2,000,000
oters , a majority of whom are active
ml aggressive workers for the promo-
on of republican principles. Thnt tills
clnd of organization has been useful to
lie parly as a whole will not be ques-
ioned. but It has to some extent been
akcu advantage of by self-seeking
olltlclans to promote their own political
nteresls to the detriment of the party
n localities If not generally. The object
f the league , which Is the dissemlua-
ion of republican principles mid the en-
Isting of the younger voters In support
f those principles , Is good , and so long
s this purpose Is adhered to and the
rganl/.atlon docs not become the In-
trnment for aiding the political ambl-
Ion of any man or set of men It will
cumin a useful force lu politics. It
vlll cease to. be such If ever It shall
iL'como a mere political machine , to be
nanlpuiatcd by shrewd and unscru-
ulous politicians for their own beuc-
It.
Republican confidence In the future of
lit * party has never been stronger than
t Is at this time. All the conditions
aver the belief that the party will
lect the president and the congress
lost year. The country has passed
hrough n period of severe depression
irgely due to the assault on the protcc-
Ivc policy by the democratic party. For
nero than a year the revenues of the
government have been below the ex-
icndltures , creating n deficit which com-
idled the treasury to borrow to the ex-
cut of ? 150,000,000. Three times during
he present democratic administration
he gold reserve established to maintain
he parity of the currency has been so
lepieted as to threaten the. suspension
f specie payments. These experiences
lave convinced hundreds of thousands
if Intelligent voters of the Incapacity of
he democratic party for wisely ad-
ninlsterlng the affairs of government
uul swelled the ranks of republicanism.
5esldes these powerful Influences mak-
ng for republican success In the next
residential election is the fact that
he democratic party Is hopelessly split
in the silver question , with every proba-
illlty pointing to the nomination of two
lemocratlc candidates for the presl-
lency.
Manifestly there Is abundant reason
'or republican confidence. But In order
hat the party shall win such a victory
is these conditions promise It Is neces
sary that It take r. position which will
'ommand the full confidence of the lu-
elllgcut and thoughtful voters of the
country. Especially must It take a firm
uul unequivocal stand lu favor of a
iound and stable currency and the main-
enancc of a monetary system In which
every dollar shall be equal to every
other dollar In purchasing nnd debt-
paying power. It will be the duty of
; lu > national convention that will meet
icxt year to declare the position of the
mrty on this and other questions , but
he league convention can exert a most
mportant influence in shaping party
sentiment and therefore Its utterances
will bo awaited with great interest ,
i'he declarations of an organization that
cprosonta more than a million repnbll-
voters cannot fall to have great
weight.
TO S
The federal authorities have decided
ipou vigorous measures to prevent viola-
Ion of the neutrality laws of the United
States by the departure from our terrl-
ory of expeditions Intended to aid the
jiiban insurgents. A cruiser has been
ordered to patrol the Florida course
and the instructions to the commander
ire said to be of the most comprehensive
character , while at the same time the
. ollectors of customs on the Atlantic
uul Gulf coasts have been instructed to
see that the neutrality laws , partlcu-
urly sections 5,289 and 5,2K ! ) of the Ke-
t-lsed Statutes , are fully complied with ,
It will be of Interest to the public te
know what these sections provide and
they are therefore given In full :
Section 5,289. The owners or consignees o :
every armed vessel sailing out ot the port :
of the United States , belonging wholly or li
part to citizens thereof , shall , before clear
Ing out the same , glvo bond to the Unltci
States , with sulllclcnt sureties , In double tin
amount ot the value of the vessel and cargi
on board , Including her armament , condl
tloned that the vessel shall not bo employee
by such owners to cruise or commit hoslllltlc :
against the subjects , citizens or properly o
any foreign prince or slate , or of an ;
colony , district or people , with whom tin
United Stales are at peace.
Section D.290. The several collectors of thi
customs shall detain any vessel manifest ! ;
built for warlike purposes , and about to de
part the United States , the cargo of whlcl
principally consists of arms and munitions o
war , when Ihe number of men shipped 01
board , or olher circumstances , render It prob
able that such vessel Is Intended to be cm
ployed by the owners to cruise or comml
hostilities upon the subjects , citizens o
properly of any foreign prince or state , o
ot any colony , district or people , with whan
the United Stales arc at peace , until th
decision of the president Is had thereon , o
until the owner gives such bond and securlt
as Is required of Die owners of armed vessel
by the preceding section.
It Is stated In the'dispatches that I
the measures already adopted are no
snillclent to secure the enforcement o
the neutrality laws , which are comprc
henslvci In their scope , steps may b <
taken against the organizers of expedl
tlonsIntended to aid In Illegal warfar
against a friendly nation. The statute
provide heavy fines and Imprlsonmen
for engaging In enterprises of this chai
nut or , which Is described ns a high mti-
demeanor. The action ot the authorltle
In this matter has been taken none to
soon , for , while the government has re
celvod uo tangible evidence of a viola
tlon of the neutrality laws , there Is no
a reasonable doubt that they have beei
violated and thnt active preparations t
aid the Cuban Insurgents are now goln
on In the territory of the United State
In violation of the statutes regardln
neutrality. The almost dally report
show this to be the case and also tha
the promoters of the projected cxped !
ons have been growing bolder In their
lovcmouts.
All good cUIzens will approve the de-
Islon of the authorities nt Washington
o put a stop to this , for however strung
ml general the sympathy of the Amerl-
an people with the cause of the Cuban
usnrgents , nnd undoubtedly a very
arge majority hope for their success ,
one will question that It Is the Imperil-
Ive duty of our government to see that
lie neutrality laws are not violated nnd
hat every obligation In this particular
vhlch this country owes to a friendly
ation shall be faithfully respected. Un-
oubtedly the measures already adopted
vlll have the desired effect.
STltL 1'1AY1N ( } CUTTLK FISlt.
The World-Herald has confidence In the In-
cgrlly of the flro and police commissioners ,
ncludlng those that the governor named at
ho special request of Mr. E. nosewatcr.
* * The sole Inlerest that the World-Herald
ias had In the management of the police force
las been that Interest manifested by every
good citizen. There are no members ot the
present force whom we desire to punish be-
ause they refuse to carry out some personal
vork that we desire to accomplish. We have
not become smltlen with the capability of a
'Inkerton , nor do we believe that the people
t Omaha care to place a representative ol
hat organization at the head of their police
orce. There are no public men over whose
Ivcs the World-Herald desires to set a spy
by the cheap method ot hiring the dirty work
done by a police detective , placed on the city
> ay roll by cdllorlal assistance.
It will thus be seen that while the World-
lerald has the same Interest In a good police
orce that every good citizen has , we do not
have that peculiar Interest In the organization
f the force that Mr. Rosewater has. * '
The World-Herald has no desire lo Imllale
he example of Ilosewater , who Is always
vllllng to ruin If ho can't rule. The World'
lerald urged that Chief Scavey be rein-
tated In order lhat peace might prevail. Dul
Seavey had Incurred the bitter enmity of the
A. P. A. and Ilosewater and he was vigorous ! )
opposed by both of these elements. * '
The great mass of the people of Omah :
are Interested only In having an efficient
police force. Dut there are two elements
hat seem anxious to control the force tc
selfish advantage- . The one Is the A. P. A. .
and the other Is Ilosewater. The peoph
mvo just about as much to fear from one ol
hcse elements as from the other. Witt
either In control an efficient police force
vould be an Impossibility.
But the World-Herald hopes that CommlS'
sloners Drown , Smith , Strlcklcr and Deavei
will do what seems best for Omaha wlthoui
regard to the wishes of ellher Uosewaler 01
his lale assoclales Ihe A. P. A. pollllclans
Incidentally we may be permitted to express
the wish that even to please Ilosewater Com
missioner Deaver will not suggest the narm
of a Plnkerton for chief of police If or
equally good man , not Identified with thai
organization , can be secured. World-Herald
You can fool some of the people all ol
he time , you can fool nil of the peopli
some of the time , but you cannot fool al
he people all of the time. You can
ndulge In the natural propensities ol
the mole , the crawfish and the snake
> ut the tactics of the cuttlefish will nol
cover your serpentine trail. Neither art
he citizens of Omaha to be bamboozlet
> y the inexcusable lliiigs and cowardlj
nnuendoes at the editor of The lice.
What right has the World-Herald tc
charge that D. Clem Denver and Charle :
H. lirown were named police commls
sloners at the special request of E. Uose
water ? Both of these men were nctivi
supporters of Governor Ilolcomb ant
joth were appointed on his own motion
Tnllke Governor Crounse. who namcc
V. O. Strlcklcr at the Instance of his
son-in-law , G. M. Hitchcock , in spite 01
; hc remonstrances of his most arden
supporters and best friends , includliu
such men as Fred Metz , sr. , Charles J
Kurbaeh and others , Governor Holcoml
did ask his friends and supporter !
whether Messrs. Deaver and Browt
ivere objectionable. This is ns far as h <
went.
What right has the World-Herald t (
uslnuatc that the reorganization of tin
police Is advocated by The Bee a
this time because some members of tin
force have refused to do the dirty worl
of Ilosewater or to play the , spy foi
dm ? Is it not Infamous to make such :
charge when there Is not a pollccmni
on the force who has ever been asket
to do any work , political or personal , fo ;
the editor of The Bee ? The only worl
that any policeman has ever been callec
upon to do has bcci ) In the strict Um
of his duty In the detection of crime o
tlie arrest of criminals.
What right has this apologist fo
boodlers , crooks and public plunderer ;
to charge that a Plnkerton detective i ;
to be made chief of police at the lu
stance of the editor of The Bee ? Cm
such cheap demagogy Impose upon ID
telligent people for a moment ?
What has been the attitude of th
World-Humid toward police reform
And when has that concern raised It
voice to purge the police force of sec
tarian agitators , debauchees am
crooked detectives ? Did it over dc
nounce the disgraceful Blair fandang
or the shameful performances of Chle
Detective Haze in the very same line
Only two days ago this man Haze de
clared that when Chief Seavey threat
cncd to have him dismissed he turnci
on Seavey and Informed him that h
could do so only at the risk of being cs
posed himself. And thereupon the hit
chief subsided. Nobody can charge Th
Bee with partiality to A. P. A.-Ism , bu
when the A. P. A.'s brought charge
against Seavey that could not be n
futed The Bee was honest enough t
urge Mr. Seavey's retirement. But th
World-Herald wanted Seavey reinstate
In spite of the notorious fact thn
Seavey did not dare to discipline hi
subordinates because they knew to
much about him.
The cuttlefish tactics which are belli
employed by our double-dealing cot
temporary In connectlon''wlth iwllce n
form nnd the attempt to create a dlvei
slon In the fight against sccttirla
proscription and corrupt local goven
ment by constantly harping upon I
Hosewater ami making him a targt
will avail nothing. It Is palpably an a
tempt to give further aid and comfoi
to the howling dervishes and tnxeatei
who have thrown crumbs to the coi
corn that holds Itself at all times read
to prostitute Its columns cheap to tl
side that Is willing to pay the mo :
either for Its support or for Its silence.

Everybody has for years known that
he railroads own large blocks of prop-
rty listed as depot grounds In this city
hat never were n part of depot grounds
nnil should for years have borne a fair
hare of the burdens of city govern-
ueut. I5ut this property has escaped
IIP assessor , while the little homes of
net'hanlcs and laborers must help make
ip the dellcleiu-y caused by the evasion
of corporate property. This Is another
trong argument in favor of a single
ax collector. It also suggests the
liiory : Why does the legal department
et the Injunction against the city
clerk's listing of railroad property out
side of right-of-way drag along year
ifter year ? Can't thnt case bo pushed
o final determination at this time when
he city Is In sore need of every dollar

One of the striking features of present
crop conditions Is the revivnl of the
Ilehls of small grain which lip to ten
lays ago hail become stunted and some
what withered. Itccout rains reclaimed
these fields. Corn , the great staple of
Nebraska , has not at any time this
season been In danger , and today is in
excellent condition. All reports agree
on this one essential point The ground
s everywhere In excellent condition and
in some cases la reported wet down tea

look the croaker ipust betake himself
to some other clIniQ.
The almost endless litigation in
which the Union Tjiclllc Is Involved for
the possession Of ItA branches and con-

Uready Impaired resources of the road ,
instead of getting nearer to the point
where the receivers may be dispensed
with , it seems to be getting more deeply
mbedded In the tolls of the law. Let
this process go on 'a little longer and
here will be onjy one way to get out of
.lie entanglement to cut the Oordian
niot and order tlio whole property to
foreclosure.
A 00-cent dollar does not necessarily
noun a dollar that can be borrowed at
n low rate of interest any more than a
100-cont dollar means a dollar com
manding a high rate of Interest. Kng-
and Is supposed to bo closer to the
single gold standard than any other
lation. but the rate of Interest on well
secured loans Is lower In London than
in any other city In the world.
The preposterous Idea that the prop
erty of the Belt Line can not be listed
for local taxation should not be enter
tained for a moment. The city must
compel It to be listed , force collection of
the tax , and If the Belt Line believes
it can prove the Illegality of the pro
ceeding let It go Into court.

Till' X1RH ) AND TUB JVI r
Chicago Tribune ; Hon. William C. 'Whit-
ney affirms with much poiltlveneu that he
doesn't want It.
Otobe-Dcmocrat : Mr , need Is the kind ot
a candidate for president who does not pro
pose to join the nroccislon until It Is ready
to start. .
Chicago Chronicle : McKlnley's presidential
boom Is so weighted with McKlnleylam that
It has no fair chance with the others. He
should unload.
Indianapolis Journal : Kx-Secretary Whit
ney has shown himself a discreet person by
declaring that ho will not bo the democratic
candidate for president In 1896. Ho first
displayed his discretion last year by refusing
to bo a candidate for governor In New York.
Ilrooklyn J2agle : The republicans need not
boast over much ot their chances for the
presidency. Many statesmen In their party
are seeking the olHce , but not one of them
will come within cannon range distance ot
It , It ho falls to get the nomination. O the
disappointed , the disappointed ! A grcwsomo
lot they will make !
Chicago Post : The appearance of William
C. Whitney as a candidate for the presidency
this year was an unavoidable consequence
of the wholesale adulation heaped upon that
gentleman after his management ot Mr.
Cleveland's campaign. Hut that ho should be
the administration's candidate Is not alto
gether pleasing to the friends ot Mr , Clove-
land. Mr. Whitney Is amiable , shrewd and
forceful , but Is he ot the presidential stuff ?
Never until Mr. Cleveland found him was he
known outside tlio narrow circle of rich men
Into which he had burrowed.
Kansas City Star : Mr. William C. Whit
ney Is In an enviable position. Undoubtedly
he Is sincere when ho declares that he will
not be the democratic candidate next year.
IJut although ho says "I will not" Instead of
"I shall not" and In Itself Is not conclusive
for It would seem that It the nomination
goes to the cast It must , as It now appears ,
go to Mr. Whitney unsought. Ho Is perhaps
the only man now prominent In the party
who would not need what Is called a pre
liminary "boom. " Mr. Whitney's very In
difference Is wholly In his favor.
Cincinnati Enquirer : Mr. Thomas D. Reed
seems to a good many political philosophers
to be loafing on the first quarter ot tlio
presldenllal race track. Governor McKlnley
is understood to have been running at his best
gilt until he fell down. General Harr'son '
has been moving at a dangerous pace. Gov
ernor Morton and Dr. Depaw have been
throwing a good deal of dust In the eyes of
the field. Allison has been much talked of
as a flyer of wonderful speed and bottom

LOS'ANGELES. . June 12. Gold Is said to
mvo been found In paying quantities nt the
jottom of the ocean near the western end
of San Clements Island. The discovery was
nado In a peculiar manner. While Arclil-

> ecame necessary to heave the lead In order
o ascertain the character of the bottom with
a vlow of casting anchor. The lead had a
small cavity In the bottom filled with tallow
that was used to Indicate what kind of a
seabed It touched. If rocky the Indentation
on the waxy substance would clearly show It ,
and If muddy It would bo unaffected. In this
tallow the gold was found Imbedded. It Is
supposed there Is a rich placer concealed by
.ho waves and the party proposes to strip
t of Its treasures. An expedition Is to bo
Hted out In the near future and a diver will
) o taken to San Clements. The gold Is of
fine quality and entirely free from quartz.
