Tlio path that loads to the elialinniu- blilp of the Hoard of I'liblliWoiks Is nppait'iitly not n bed of roses , no mat ter how soft Is the sliiuuuru when once the goal Is leached. PaillanieiiL pi eposes to adjoin n tlio first vvi'ok In August just to lve eveiy- body a legislative lull , dining which all can keep qlo.se tub on the progress of the Amuiican presidential Hajor Handy audaciously asserts that eouii ! of the most Influential populist loaders are known to be In politics for revenue only. Now watch the lilt birds ily up with loud protestations of inno cence. . "When It comes to the question of tie- tcnnlning who IK the bigger man In Maine , Thomas B. Heed or Arthur Sewall , no republican need have any serious fu.ir.s as to the outcome of the contest. Bryan says that lie prefers Lincoln ns a place to live In to any other city In the country. The people will , theie- fore , have nothing to reproach them selves for when they vote to let him continue to enjoy residence in the city of his choice. The mortality table for Omaha for the month of July will piobably be alarml'tgly abnormal. But th < > increase in tlie death late will be chatgeable to the tenlble fatality of the Logan rail road wreck. Omaha is a pietty healthy city all the year 'round. Chances are that St. Louis will have a haul time to get back the money It put up to secuie the populist national convention , AVldle tlio convention Is largest in point of number of dele gates , It is likely to be smallest In point of number of spoctatois. One of the subjects to be elucidated nt the coming session of the Commer cial Law league In Omaha is "The Ktlilcs of ComnieiLial Law. " The aveiago layman will be delighted to bear that at least ono branch of law professes to be guided by some i riles of ethics. In view of the coining exposition and the Increased revenues that will be de- inauded for public Imptovoment.s , It will be absolutely necessaiy that the next legislature do something in the way of ivfotmliiK our iiHsehsinetit lawn.

What they want and will 1me. It llio opportunity presents . Itself , are practical results that will ma terially affect their Industrial nnd social condition. They want the BliiRlu gold stand nrd abolished and the double standard created. The populist pi ess inoculated a great truth vhon it taught them to believe that free coinage ot sliver nt the ratio of 10 to 1 with gold vvotild drive gloom niul destitution from the country nnd replace thorn with nunslilne nnd pi asperity. If it Is true that populists as a body trace "the pauper pi Ices" which they receive for the pioducts of the Held and the shop and the loom and the closing of American factoiles and mllU to the evicting gold standard they simply labor tinder a delusion Inoculated by the hominx. ! mine o\vner.s and millIng - Ing stock gamblers. Nobody ' ' better than does Air. Patterson that the fall In the pi Ice of silver has had no more to do with "the pauper prices" of farm piodiicts than has the fall In the pi Ice of iron , copper or lead. He knows or ought to know that dining the pros pers period fiom 1SSO to 1SU ! ) theie was no free silver coinage. Dm Ing that period the products of the fat in commanded fair pi Ices and the mills and factories were bumming. Ani'ii- can workmen had abundant employ- inent at good wages and Aineiican mer chants \\ete doing a thilvlug business , although the mints were closed to tiee coinage and sllv.-r had fallen In pi Ice from o ( > to 40 per cent. As a free tiade Hrynn demociat , Mr. Patteison will not admit that the icpeal of the McKlnley tarII' ! law had anything to do with closing the factories. lut ? If he had any tcspect for himself he would be willing to go as far as Bt.vaii , who said In his tat Iff .speech in the house of ! representatives , March 1(1. ( 3M ) _ ' , Tnti ! you explain what it is that reduces - duces ' the pi leu of steel rails and other manufactured products , not h.'ie alone but all ovet the woild , yon can not attribute It to ir protective tariff ; but yon must attribute It rather to the- in ventive genius that has multiplied a thousand times , in many instances , the strength of a single aim and enabled us to do today with one man what fifty men could not do flftj years ago. That is what has brought the price down in this country and eveiywhere. " Who told the truth about the decline In prices , Riyan or Patterson ? To be sure , Kryan has since' , in his Omaha debate , gone back on himself , but every intelligent mechanic and woikman will accept his statement of ISHi ! as sound. Kvery Intelligent farmer also knows that the low price of farm pioducts is due , not to our present money stand ard , which was tlie same when wheat sold for SI a bushel and corn ior " . " cents , but to the overstocked market Aff oi'Kjf Donn 'i o "That able and fearless demociat. Col onel Henry \Vatter.son , character Ize * the Chicago platform as innnstious and says of It : "It not only means na tional repudiation and spoliation , but it Is an open door to revolution. If' the leaders of this movement could come Into power those of them who have any sense of accountability , any con ception of tin oideily government , would be quickly set aside by the wild elements behind. In this way chil war , as foreshadowed by the Chicago outbreaks last year , could be precip itated upon the count i y. " This is the dellbeiato opinion of a dis tinguished demociatlc leader , -\\lio \ has been all his life demoted to demo- cialle pilnclples and who is Intel lectually the peer of any man in thu party. Can any rational man entertain a doubt < icgardlng the conectness f this view ? The men who dominated the Chicago convention , who framed and passed the platform , Mould not be sat- iRlied with tlie attainment of free sll ver. After they had revolutionized the lluanoial t system of the country they would proceed to levolutlonl/e the gov ernment. Tin.1 platform attacks tlie supreme promo 1 court of tlie United State.s and pioposes 1 a depaiture fiom the prin ciple 1i 1t , established by the foundeis of the t government , of appointing fed- eial Judges for life. There Is seen in these enunciations a purpose . to Hiihuidlnatc the judicial branch of the government the bulwark of the constitution and the defense of fiee Institutions to tlie will of a political party , thus depriving the fedeial Judi ciary of that Independence given it by thu constitution and without which Its \aliu as a co-ordinate pait of the gov ernment would be lost. In other ic- spects this platform contemplates poli cies r.idlcally hostile to the principles upon which the government Is founded. It may be urged that If Mr. Br > an were elected president lie would not allow the revolutionary element to have It way. But the Chicago nominee N now In full and heaity sympathy with this clement and theie Is no reason to suppose he would not be if he should become piesldent. He has declared himself to be In full accord with the Chicago platform from beginning to end. It was his defense of the platform tlmt secured him the nomination. He Is thcicfoie bound by It and equally bound to the element that passed it and made him Its candidate. Altgeld , Tlllman and ihelr followers are the ino.st indent Mipporteis of Mr. Bryan. They lime perfect confidence that If he should be elected he would respect theli wishes and do all be could to have the policies they stand for crystall/-'d into law auU put irrto effect Let uo cltlwr delude himself with the Idea that Mr. Hryan would disregard the dec tiinnds nnd tllsnppolnt the expectations of the element behind him and which constitutes the aggressive part of bis following. He would be coiu ) > olleil to give- them tecognltloti In his admlnls- tnttlon and In all other wny.s within tlu t > limitations of executive authority and preiogatlve. Aie the people of the I'tilted Slates prepared j , to take the perilous chance of committing the contiol of their gov- eminent to such men as dominated the Oh Ira go convention ? Are they pre pared to place the luliuluistiatton of na tional affairs and the conduct of our relations with the test of the wet Id In the hands of the Allgc-lds and Till- ntntiM who would come Into power with the election of Mr. Hiyan ? We most confidently believe they aie not. tn.vro.iiH TO THI : \wrmm. \ .

Since th" advent of special- biatlon lu the Held of law the com- mctclallaw business has attiacted many of the hilght"st legal minds and the ablest piat titlonets at the bnr.

To have the opportunity to entertain the national convention of the Com- merclal Law league is to Omaha a pilvllege which it Is glad to enjoy.

July HI , lS'Uthiity-li\e ' jeats ago today the first battle of Bull Unit was fought , resulting In the defeat and tout of the union army , which fell back upon Washington a dlsot tiered and disheartened - heartened mass that could not hav pie- vented the enhance of the national cap ital by the vlctoilons confedeiates had It then been their plan to cairy the war beyond the states In rebellion. It Is a long look back to that tbst meeting ol the union and confederate foicos In the shock of ical battle , but those who were then old enough to understand what the defeat ot the union ami } meant will recall the dismay and up- prehension which it cicatcd throughout the north. It g.no the supporters oi the union a icalizhi spnse of tlie fact tli.it the confederates' only me.int to light , but knew how to fight and that all the eueigy and povvei at the com mand of the government would have to be called Into leqntsitiott for its pi en ervation. Most of those who partici pated In that battle have passed away and those who aie living aie In the. winter of life , the sun of fheii day , close to the western hoii/.on. but doubt less none of these survivors of the Inglorious - glorious defeat of the union amiy at Hull Him thirty-live years ago will ie- call moie vividly than that any of his subsequent war expel leiices. Tun Slid A11 The people of Ne'biaska aie greatly Interested In the development of the beet sugar Industry. Piopeily lostered and encoutaged It would in a few .vcar.s add enormously to the wealth of this state. Theie aie two waj s In which Its i development can be piomoted. One Is by placing a piotectlve duty on Imported . ported sugar and the other lh by paying a bounty on the domestic pioilm-t. The iir republican parly Is pledged to leglsla- tlon for the building up of the A met k tin sugar Industiy. Us platform promises to tcstoie pioper pioteetioii to thin great interest , now threatened with destruction by < termini competition stimulated by a high bounty. The McKlnley law gave a bounty on Aineilcan sugar and the effect of this was to veiy gieatly stimulate the pro duction of sugar In this cottntiy. I'niler the opoialion of that law the industry grew tapldly In this state and gave piomlse of bi'coinlng within a short tlino a souice of large revenue to niitiiy of our farmcih and Iherefoic a benyfit to all of our pt'ple. ( ( This bounty wa. < icpealed by the present tariff law , fi timed In part by Mr. Biyan , and he advocated the icpeal. In a speech In the house of representatives he said he believed a bounty to be "utterly inde fensible In pilnciple and yicious in piacticc. " It is to lie pte umed he still cntei tains this view. Being opposed to ,1 both pioteetlon and bounties , If Mr. Bryan weic elected ptesident he would t do nothing to piomote the Ametlcan sugar Industiy. If congioss should be t o In accord with him there would be no legislation In behalf of this intere.d. If otherwise and them should be legis lation favoiable to this Interest in cither of the only two ways In which It can be favoicd , Mr. Biyan would rise thu " veto power to kill it. Theio would be no hope tor the American sugar Indus try , now menaced by luci easing foielgn competition , In the election of the nom inee of the Chicago convention , bnt on the contrary It would undoubtedly suf fer extinction , as would other Industries t tlmt me subject to the leslructivocom 0 petition of the products of cheap foreign ! labor. Mr. Bryan Mauds for an economic li policy that is hostile to the mateilal lir liI I piogros-i of the country and fiom the r v dlsastious effects of which we are now d sulTering. ills election to tlie pic.sldency c would mean Intcnsltlcd Industrial stagnation t e nation and business depicsslon , as well I as lliianchil disorder and panic unpar I alleled In our hlstoiy. \ There ought to bo no fin ( her neces sity for uppropilatlons of money to in t duce iiutiouul conventions to come to i Omaha I"ffvrvN. | Our people have been called uiili Ito mibsulbe llbcially In aid ot tin exposition , the success of which will n a natutal sequence nt- tract t maiiijEgatlieilngs to us.

This pioclamation Will be nolice to all tlie wet Id that Omaha Is to have a great exposition and ' as an advertisement H will have far-icachlng effect. In fact , the people of the I'nlted Slates and paitlculaily of the west have no positive ussuiance that t such an exposition will be held. The proclamation will affoid them a guaranty , us It will also foim the basis for all opt-iatliitis heie and elsewheie. The necessity , theiefote , lor raising S'KXH'OO at the Hist possible day must appal cut to all. The union depot question has again reaclnd a ciltlcal stage.

It would be far better lor the managcis of that load to tell the people of Omaha that they aie opposed to a union depot and let the matter ust theie.
