Chairman Jones of the democratic na tional committee says Bryan Is stronger on tho Paellle coast this year than In 180(1. He must be wearing smoked goggles. The result In Oregon does not Indicate a brilliant prospect for democracy In that direction.

If this be the fact It means that the Chinese government has taken a stand that is a distinct challenge to tin powers, which they must either meet in force or abandon the effort to suppress the anti-foreign movement. If It bo de elded, as most likely It will be, to prose cute the effort to put down the Boxers there Is every probability that, a conillct of extended proportions and most serious Intruder will ensue. The dlillciilty in connection with this trouble Is to arrive at an understanding among the powers as to the course to lie pursued and while this question Is under consideration the revolutionary element may lie given opportunity to do great damage and to obtain advantages that will enable It to offer formidable re sistance. It seems, Indeed, to be already In a position to do this. The advices In dicate that tho report ot the empress dowager having granted permission to the foreign governments to convey an armed force to Pekln was unfounded, or else she lias ceased to be (lie authority In the government. It Is possible, how ever, that she inny have changed her niliiil or is practicing tho duplicity of which she Is unite capable. At all events it seems plain that the situation has reached that acute stage which calls for either decisive action on the part of the powers or their with drawal and tho latter alternative will of course not be considered for a moment. Such being the case, the Important quos- tiou Is, What will they decide to do? They must act quickly ami the deter- lulnatlou of this question will probably be reached within the next few days. ItKt'Clll.lr.iX IIAItMU V. Ueferrlng to the fact that there will be an unusual number of members of congress in the republican!! national con vention, upon which there has been some comment by the onnosltlon. Senator Lodge said that It demonstrates the har mony that exists in the republican party In every state In the union. "It shows, moreover," said tho Massachusetts sen ator, "that all republicans are In sym pathy wltli the McKinley administra tion. It demonstrates beyond peradven turo that there are no factional fights, no sectional disputes, no sore spots, but that all are united." This accurately states the republican situation, (lie fact being, as pointed out by Senator Liodge, that the party Is moro harmonious now than at any other time since lSiiS, when Grant was tirst nominated. There was, indeed, no Im portant opposition In lM)(i to the nomina tion of McKinley, but there was some, whereas at present there Is none what ever. This unusual condition is due to the Tact that the present administration has been absolutely faithful to the pledges of tho party and has shown at ill times an earnest desire to maintain ind promote." party harmony. Mr. Me- Kluley has not sought to dictate to con- ress, but has recognized It as a co ordinate branch of the government, with me result thai the legislative ami execu tive departments have been hi accord. I ho president has co tended himself to his party as an able, conscientious and patriotic statesman, in every way worthy of n reiioiuinatloii and while there are many other able republicans there Is nono who lias tm equal claim with William McKinley to (lie conii- dence and support of the party. A IWSl.WSS OVAOA. A representative business house of Baltimore, which issues a weekly clr- uliir, says In Its last letter: "The ad 'ocacy of Bryan for the presidency by one of the two political parties is u posi tive menace to the preservation and ex istence of all the ilnancial, commercial and mercantile Institutions of this coun try. We are sick and tired of Mr. Bryan and all that he represents, and wo hope that an Indignant and long suffering people will give him such a quietus next November as to remove him for nil time from the Held of pres idential aspirants." Commenting on this the Baltimore Vnierlcan remarks that "If gold demo crats of the standing and reputation of the Messrs. Hamhloton so regard Bryan as the nominee of his own particular lenient of the party, It Is proof positive that they will never accept him as their candidate." It Is not to lie doubted that there are thousands of business men throughout tho country who feel as this Baltimore linn doe, J that the election of Mr. Hryan would be Inimical to the ilnancial, commercial and inercantllo Interests of the couutry. And there are very cogent reasons for this view, as we have heretofore pointed out. V hllo the action of congress in fixing ; the gold standard In law was most lm- j poi tant. It Is not an Insurmountable bulwark against the cause which the i Hryanlte party chiefly represents. The election of Mr. Bryan would probably carry with It the house of representa tives. The senate. It Is true, would be republican, but It Is by no means cer tain that II would remain so throughout the administration, or even during the llrst half of Its term. It Is an nc- j cepteit tact in national politics that con- impcdo the Impartial administration of , platform of the republican party, trol of the house of ivpresentatlvos Is 'Justice wero not editors, but lawyers.

I This has been the case In the last live ! presidential elections and there Is every reason to expect that It will be repented In the election ,..' thu von,- v. t. ' in the election oi this year. Now regard to the senate there are now fifty two republicans, twenty-Rlx democrats ami eight popullsts-elghty-slx in all, with four seats vacant. As now con stituted tiie senate Is a safe barrier against free silver legislation, but there is no certainty that it will remain so during the life of the next administra tion, It Is certainly possible that within the next four years both houses of eon greos may pass into democratic control and In such an event there can be no , doubt, with Mr. Bryan as president. 1 what would bo done In ivim -,i n,n 1 nliul wotili no lot i in tegiii, to the currency.

There can be no doubt of this In the niliid of any one who under stands tho policy and purpose of the Bryanlte party. 1'Yotn every point of view Bryanlsm Is necessarily a menace to Ilnancial, Industrial ami commercial security. Its success, as we have repeatedly pointed out, would mean that a majority of the American people are dissatisfied with the verdict of four years ago and desire Its reversal. The Inevitable effect of this would be to unsettle confidence and pro duce a disturbance In all departments of business that would be a M'tlous check to prosperity. We have no doubt that the opinion of the Baltimore linn above quoted rellects the nearly universal feel lug of the substantial business interests of the country. HAVE Yor IEK.V COVXTHDl The fifteen days allowed the census takers In cities to complete their papula tion schedules are practically expired and It Is morally certain that many res idents of Omaha have been omitted bv accident or neglect from the eiiuinera Hot). Omaha wants no repetition of Hie no torloiis padding of ten years ago, but it wants tiie credit of every person to whoso residence It Is entitled. Under the census law llfteen days more remain for the correction of the population lists It behooves every citizen of Omaha to do what he can to have all omissions and errors properly corrected. Have you been counted? mis any one residing in the saint household with you been overlooked by the census taker? Io you know of any Omaha man, woman or child now here or temporarily absent from tiro city whose names are likely to have been overlooked? If you do, write them down on paper with their addresses and mall them to Major Wheeler, supervisor of the census, Omaha.

Jhere is no time to be lost, (live Omaha tho benefit of every doubt. If you know of any who may possibly have been missed, notify the census man before it Is too late for him to check them up. Send in your lists at once. Chairman Jones of tho democratic na tlonnl coinmltteo Is going Into the proclamation business early. All the pronunciameiitos blazoning the con lirmed belief of the party managers in the assured success of their respective candidates are like blank cartridges that make ti noise, but do no execution. Nonetheless we may expect from now on a perfect fusillade of political ad dresses, announcements, claims and prognostications, each highly colored bv tho bias of the author. Some of the proclamations issued by the Bryan mali ngers of four years ago read so absurdly today In the light of events that sensible people must wonder how they had the audacity to Imiwse them upon the pub lic. That we are on the eve of n repeti tion of tills paper warfare, however, can bo read In all the stars. Popocratlo organs are trying to make a great ado over the charge that repub lican employes of congress have been notified that voluntary contributions from them to the republican campaign fund would be acceptable. These or gans evidently did not preserve the printed financial report of the populist state committee for Nebraska Issued a few years ago which showed it to be the regular practice for the fusion re formers to assess every fiislonlst In olllee a regular percentage of his pay from United States senator and district Judge down to watchman and janitor. When It conies to currycoinblng for con tributions to campaign funds, the fusion machine In Nebraska Is not to be beat. Comptroller Coler of New York, In nn address to college students, declares that corruption In public olllee is the great problem of the future which menaces the country and that It has Its origin largely In the great cities. Color's connection with Tammany gives him a right to express an expert opinion of the extent to which olilclal corruption has gone in some quartern.

The national republican convention of 1900. appointed to be held In Philadelphia on tho nun inst., will bo tho third held bv that party in this city. The first was In 1.S5B, when the republican party was launched on tho sea of national politics, with Fremont and Dayton as its candidates.

Of course Hryan had to Inject politics Into bio speech nt the meeting of Ilfcer sym pathizers In Oinahu. Ho can never resist tho temptation to play tho demagogue and while ostensibly talking for the lloers he was really talking for Hryan. Tho Nebraska Inflationist told the tiuth when ho Fald that he believed tho lloers had tho sympathy of a great majority ot tho American people. There has nuver been any question as to the sympathy of tho people of this country with tho strug gling burghers, Irrespective of political alllllatlons, hut tho continuous candidate ' ,or th" IrcsI,lwlcy threw off tho mask of "yraIin,hy wl,en ho declared that tho Amer lean pcoplo have the privilege of "castltiu tbeir ballots against tho administration or government which falls to carry out their I w'sh,'e'' wncn tllcso Da""ts nre next ,uu,",-" 1 u'evu mat, muy win no an ex- ptcssion of thn American pcoplo for thejo pcoplo lighting for tholr Independence." That showed Hryan up in his truo char - nclcr a a demagogue. It was an Intimation that President McKinley had not complied with tho wishes of tbo American pcoplo In respect to tho Doer war. Yet Hryan did not suggest what should bo done. What would bo do If he wero president? Presi dent McKinley has already tendered the good ofllcee of the United States In the effort to restore peaco In South Africa and his offer has been declined. What eho can he do? What would Hryan do under tho clrcumsUnctfi? President McKinley has no authority to do anything else and Hryan knows that. He would have done no more If he were president la place of Mr. Mc Kinley. Tho only thing that could bo done would bo to serve notlco on England that sho must withdraw her troops from South Africa. Such a notice would necessarily take tho form of a threat equivalent to a declaration of .war and the president can take no Bueh tep without tho authority of congress. Is Mr. Hrynn In favor of de claring war against England? As a matter of fact, thero has been no ; check upon tho American people. They j have been free to ralso funds for the sup- pori oi tno jiocr cause or to enlist to fight with tho llocts, but how many of tlrm have taken advantage of this privilege? What has Hryan dono to advance tho can o of freedom In South Africa? How much would ho glvo to help the Hooiu? He and other democratic demagogues aro using tho Hoer sympathy movement as n meaus of manufacturing political capital; simply that and nothing more, and every man of seaso should know it.

The steudy rise in tho price of beef and other kinds of meat bears rather hard upon 1 tho city dweller, but It calls attention to the profpority of tho farmer and live stock breeder. Tho Union Stock Yards company of Omaha, which Is situated In tho food-produc Ing center of the United States, has gath ered statistics which show that thero has been an advance of ?2 per hundred pounds on live hogs and $1 a. hundred on beeves as compared with 1896. The 'best price paid for hogs In May of that year was ?2.93 per hundred pounds, but last month the prlco was 11.83. Cornfed beoves sold ut $1.13 in 1896; last month they brought $3.30, More over, thoro has been an enormous Increase in tho trade. Receipts at Omaha In May, 1896, were 121,376 head ot bogs, 37,390 ot cattle nnd 60,430 of sheep. Last month the receipts woro 214,398 of bogs, 81,902 of cattle and 72,890 of sheep. These differences In live stock values aro almost as remarkable, an tho advances in Iron and steel products and they benefit a astly larger number of people. The visible marketing of hogs shows a remarkable in creaso sluco 1896. The total packing In the provision year 1893-1896 was 20,480,000 head nnd for 1899-1900 it has been 28,172,000. These figures do not represent tho entlro slaughtering of the country, 'but only those at commercial centers where reports aro regularly made. The Cincinnati Prlco Cur rent estimates tho outside slaughtering at 10,000,000 head yearly, which would la lug the yearly uverago Just now up to -tO.OOtioo, Tho slaughtering sluco March 1 has In creased over 500,000 head. Thero ha been a declino In the amount of live stock, hut there has been no let-up in the uumbor marketed, so prices promise to advance instead of de cline. This is tho cluo ulso to tho present upward movement in quotations. With such prices as tho farmer get3 for his llvo stock and Filch croi s as he is rais ing he cnu bear with equanimity the de clines In Iron and eteel and tbo shrlnkago In railroad and industrial securities.
