Iiitf on the capital and that filing are
trained on several of the foreign lega
tions. 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

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. Tue AVh,K8 mt,t t Haltlmore on Septem

This has been the case In the last live !
presidential elections and there Is every

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

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.

The fifteen days allowed the census

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

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

do what he can to have all omissions
and errors properly corrected.

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

notified that voluntary contributions
from them to the republican campaign
fund would be acceptable. These or
gans evidently did not preserve the

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

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. The second
wa in 1872, when Grant and Wilson were
mado tho nominees; Chicago isecured the
convention five times In I860, 1SB8. 1SS0.
18S4 and 1S88. It was held In Hnlttmore in
1884, in Cincinnati in 1876, in Minneapolis in
1892 and In St. Ixmis In 189C. Thero ore
about a dozen of the survivors of the con
vention of 1856 and these have been Invited
as guests of tho assembly of 1900. The
career of tho whig party practically tennl

nud Its placo was taken by tho republican
party, which, although possessing organiza

ganization until isr.fi. Tbo preliminary ar
rangements wero conducted In Pittsburg on
Washington's blrthdsy of that year and n
convention called to' 'meet In Phlladelnhl.a
on Juno 17. ... on
While tho Pittsburg conference was in
session the American, or "Know Nothing,"
party had nominated ex-l'realdent Millard
rillmoro of New York for president and
Andrew J. Donelson of Tennessee for vice
president. There was a secession from this
convention by delegates, who resisted tho
attempt of tho national ouncll of the party
to dictate the platform for the, convention
and who objected to tho nomination of any
candidates who were not In favor ot inter
dicting slavery In territory north of an
degree 30 minutes by congressional nctlon.
Tho seceders nominated John C. Fremont of
California for prcsldcut und ex-Oovernor
William V. Johnston of Pennsylvania for
vlco president. The democrats mot In Cin

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

other commodities will continue, but how i
soon It will be cheeked. The farmer Is a
great consumer and with full pockets ho
Is such a liberal buyer that tho markets
of tho world must feol his sustaining
power. Thero Is no evidence; that he la
being seriously affected by overproduction
In any of his staples and to this tre
mendous undercurrent of agricultural pros
perity the commercial world must respond.
