Vk have celebrated the Fourth

As was generally expected, Gen.
Weaver was nominated by the til 1 i--itice
at Omaha yesterday for presi
dent. THE Kaunas republican have
nominated a good ticket, ami they
will elect it by a majority of at least
r),ix if the wheat crop of the state
turns out as well as is now ex
pected. THE democratic platform is al
ready . having some of its planks
pulled out, and before the election
next November it will be in a much
worse condition than the roof of
heir wigwam was at Chicago
THE STUMP-TAIL MONEY PLANK.
The leading democratic paper of
Iowa, the Dubuque Telegraph, eom
jdains that the republicans id that
state were unfair in the platform
they adopted at Des Moines a few
days ago. The third plank in the
platform denounced the demo
cratic party for "insisting upon the
abolition of the national tax on the
issues of state banks." The Tele
graph protests that the Chicago
platform simply recommends its
repeal anil the party does not even
approve of the recommendation.
1 1 is entirely immaterial whether
the form of expression isjsued in a
platform is a recommendation or a
demand. In either case it means
simply and solely that the party
standing on that plank is pleilged
10 carry out the idea therein ex
pressed. If the next congress or
Mie one immediately succeeding to
it should be democratic it would be
bound in political honor to pass a
bill repealing that tax and Mr.
Cleveland, if elected, would be
bound to sign it.
The only way he could escape
that obligation would be for him to
distinctly state in bis letter of ac
ceptance that he declines to stand
on that plank of the platform. Per
haps he will, but there is hardly
one chance in a thousand of his
doing so. For ought that the pub
lic knows that recommendation
meet with his especial favor and
indorsement.
It is now forty years since General
Scott was nominated for president,
be being the last candidate of the
whig party. It was at that time, we
believe, that llorui'c Greeley, then
the foremost editor of his party,
publicly declared that hesupported
the ticket, but split upon ihe plat
form. That sort rd support proved
to be worse that open opposition,
and presaged the ruin which soon
overtook that parly, for Mr. Greeley
fairly represented a larg- element
ol it. .No political organization can
"xpect to stand when it is a house
divided against itself in that kind
of a way. The democracy is in a
sorry fix, forced to either stand up
on the platform adopted or accept
the fate i:f self-repudiation.
There is and is not ground for the
'Telegraph's claim that the party
Iocs not approve the wild-cat plank.
There is a very general disposition
mi the part of the democratic press
't ignore it, and from that fact one
may iffer that the editors of the
party at the north know enough
about tile calamitous effect of
stump-tail money in the fifties and
the first half of the sixties to appre
ciate the folly and peril of taking
otf the prohibitory tax; but they
lack the courage of their convic
tions. The repeal of that tax would
do more to demorali.e the finances
of the country and commercial rela
tions man any other one imagin
able stroke of congressional legis
lation. -Chicago Inter Ocean.
RISE IN FARM VALUES
It has been nearly ten years since
the business in Nebraska farm lauds
has been as encouraging as it is
this spring. For a number of years
there was a great rush to California
then to Colorado and Ari.ona, and
finally to the l'jicilie coast north
west, with more or less diversion at
intervals toward the south.
Now, however, a steady stream of
emigration to Nebraska has set in
which is confined to no particular
portion of the state.but embraces it
all. This infusion of new "bone and
sinew" is already making itself felt,
although spring has been open but
a short time and the Nebraska
movement has little more than be
gun. Good farms are in steady demand
. it good prices and principally for
..ash, and there is a perceptible in
crease in the market value of farms,
iboth improved and unimproved.
Many farmers in the eastern part
of the state who have sold out at
good figueres are going into central
and western Nebraska, where they
can buy cheaper and set up again
with a cash surplus. And, by the
way, the movement of itself is a
good send-otl for the more western
portions of the state, for most of
these farmers have lived in Nebrae-
ka ujiuiy years, and their new in-
vestment: are b.:sed on' actual j
knowledge of the productiveness of
this section.
And it may be added that there
will never be a better ytar for inest
nient in Nebraska's fertile farming
lands.
That the tendency of prices will
be steadily upward for the next five
years is the judgment of every well
posted and observant person. Good
lands in the "corn belt" will never
be worth less than at present. They
are sure to be wrrth a great deal
more, and it is the Hub's judgment
that no better invesment can be
made during the present year than

ENGLAND'S SYMPATHY.
Cleveland would run mignili
cently in ungianu.
Over there they are all for him.
His tree trade policy, if adopted
in thirl country, would mean mil
lion upon millions to Hritish man
ufacturers and Hritish workingnien.
Hut it would come out of the
pockets of American manufacturers
and out of the wages of American
lahor.
Long before the revolution, Kng-
laud resolved that America should
r r . t
never inanutaciure lor ncrscii.
During the first half of the eigh
teenth century the poor colonists
made a feeble beginning in the
fabrication of coarse woolens, linen
inl hats. Kuglish manufacturers
omplained ot this to their govern
ment and parliment interfered in
what manner we shall let Adam
Smith, the founder of the free trade
school, relate. We extract from his
Wealth of Nations, published in 1770:
"Kneland prohibits the exporta
tion from one province to another
by water and even by land upon
horsehack or m a cart, ol hats, ol
wool and woolen goods of Ameri
can production, a regulation which
cllectually prevents the establish
ment of an)' maniitacture ol such
commodities for distant sale, and
con lines the industries of her colo
nists in this way to such coarse and
household manufactures as a pri
vate family commonly makes for
its own use, or for that ot some ol
its neighbors in the same province.'
That policy was adhered to with
relentless vigor by Kngland down
to the revolution.
Since that time she has watched
with impotent rage anil maddening
envy our advance in manufactures,
under the shelter of a protective
tarilf which rendered futile her mal
evolent attempts to destroy them.
N it any wonder that her sympa
thy in this campaign is with the
arty which in effect proclaims in
its plntlorm its purpose to reduce
us once more to that deplorable
state of industrial vassalage from
which the Revolution freed us'r
Can' a true American vole for the
candidates of such a party:
Speaking of American vs. Hritish
trade with Canada, Consular K'yder
of t Juebec says: "1 he I'nited States
mouopoliz.es the importation of ag
ricultural implements, printiti"
machinery, electrical supplies, fun
papers, leather and manufactures
of leather, rubber boots, shoes and
belting, watch and clock move
ments. field and garden seeds, bin
ders twine, etc. A hue catalogue
this of articles which testify to the
surpassing skill of American me
chanics and workingnien.
Tin; democrats in congress have
practically passed a free coinag
bill that Cleveland cannot possibly
indorse.
Tin; democrats may succcea in
keeping Stevenson still, but they
cannot obliterate his record as a
copperhead and a repudiationist.
Ik the country is really in as bad
a condition as the platform of the
people's party represents, how does
it happen to be the only country in
the world which attracts foreign
immigration?
TllK republican candidate for
state auditor of Kansas is a negro
and he is rendered still more of
tensive to the democrats by the fact
that he is the only man on tin
ticket who has a collegiate educa
t ion.
Tin; democrats are greatly wor
ried because President Harrison
saw lit to appoint Foster secretary
of state, but Harrison goes right on
about his business without consult
ing the democrats about the leas
thing.
TllK democrats seem to think
they ought to have been consulted
in regard to the appointment of the
chairman of the republican nation
al committee. Hecause a man was
appointed who knows his duty it is
giving the democrats lots of worry
Kx-Guv. Anthony, of Kansas
states the whole case in a few words
when he says that "the republican
party went down with the McKinley
law on its back, and the McKinle
law came up with the republican
party on its back." The democrat
would like to dodge this large and
significant fact, but circumstances
compel them to face it.

The Convention Became a Howhn ,
i?Mob When the Committee Re
ported on R solutions
Weaver and
Field.
When the convent ion was assemb
ling yesterday morning it was
learned that Van Wyck's name
would not be presented. lie would
not consent to it, and the delegation
was not at all anxious to put him
forward. Kansas switched back to
Weaver and Georgia went out hunt
ing for a candidate, declaring irre
vocably against Gresham.
The claim that there is no north
iml no south in the new party
doesn't apply in the Gresham light,
ind not only have the southern del-
gates contended that Gresham can
not carry a southern state, but they
have threatened freely that they
would not support him themselves.
And even Oregon's delegation has
said with a great show of determi
nation that if Gresham be nomi
nated their people will vote the
prohibition ticket for presidential
lectors.
Nothing was done yesterday
morning from 10 to 12 except to
make the the temporary organiza
tion permanent. At the end of
tweney-live minutes, as the noise
was dying slowly away and the
music of the martial band became
nubble, one of the standard bear-
rs started around the outer aisle,
bearing his banner aloft, and with
one accord the others tollowed,
while the frenz.ied bedlam again
broke loose. Twice did the per
spiring enthusiasts make the cir-
uit of the large hall, and every one
who could secure a banner of any
sort, a cartoon or a Hag, joined in
the wild parade. Among those
bearing standards were a number
of women, while no less than
twenty-live of the many women
who have seats in the convention
ind take up their half of the time
levoted to discussion, marched,
shouted and gesticulated with
irnfs, heads and bodies as vigor
ously as did any of their masculine
issociates. Among them were
Mrs. Leese, Mrs. Kmcry, Mrs. Todd
iml other leading women in the
peoples party movement.
Appeals For Order Ignored.
For a time it looked as if the con
vention was likely to continue its
leinonsttat ion indefinitely, in spite
ol the appeals of the chair fori
order. A number of the cooler!
heads gathered around the one
legged presiding c.flicer and sought
by every device to catch the atten
tion of the convention, and when
they at last did so the clamorous
carnival of disorder had continued
forty minutes. It was apparently a
ruse of the Greshamites to work the
convention to a pitch of excitement
bordering on madness, in order to
spring the nomination of their hero
in the midst of the enthusiasm, for
is soon as order had been restored,
Taubeneck, chairman of the nation
al committee, secured at once the
recognition of the chair to read a
telegram from I looser, candidate
for lieutenant-governor in Indiana.
It said:
Gresham Will Not Decline.
"I have just seen Gresham. If
unanimous he will not decline."
Afterwards the convention re
ceived the following from Gresham:
'Chkwgo, July -1.-J. H. Weaver,
Ignatius Donnelly. Hen Tertell. J.
W. Hayes: I have just returned and
find your dispatch of the fiirst. I
must stand by my dispatch to Mr.
Orr of the second. Accept my
grateful acknowledgements.
Signedl W. . Gk'KsAAN."
The roll of states was then called
lor the presentation of candidates
for the presidency and when Ala
bama was called, a delegate arose
and nominated Gen. Weaver, of Io
wa. When Colorado was reached
Senator Kyle, of South Dakota, was
placed in nomination.
A ballot was then taken, which re
sulted as fill lows:
