Tiik North American Review fur
June opensljwith an article on "Harbor
ing Conspiracy." by Prof. Ilenry Wade
Rogers, who examines, in the light of
international law, the diplomatic his
tory of the United States and the na
tional constitution,-the question as to
how far our government must go in
suppressing plots against governments
with which we are at peace. Henry D,
Lloyd, in the same number of the Rc
view, shows how every branch of pro
duction is coming under the control of
"Lords of Industry." corporations and
monopolies. Elizabeth Stuart Ptosis
has an article marked by rare philo ¬
sophic force upon the "Struggle for Im
mortality." Other articles of not less
importance are: Sociological Falla
cics" by Prof W. G. Sumner; "The
Rise aud Fall of Authority," by Presi
dent J. C. Welling; "Walt Whitman;'
by Walker Kennedy; and a symposium
n "Expert Testimony," by Rossiter
Johnson, Dr. W. W. Godding, T.O'Con
nor Sloanc and Dr Charles L Dan t.
The following is the text of the bill
introduced by Senator Cullom to pro
hibit speculation by officers of national
backing associations. Be . it enacted,
etc., That it be unlawful for the presi
dent, cashier, tellers or other ehief ex
ecutive of any national banking asso
ciation, having capital stock to the
amount of $200,000 or more, to deal,
trade or otherwise engage in specu
lation in Btocks, bonds or other securi
ties, or iu grain, provisions, produce or
or oil, on margins, on his own individ-
al account, or for his own personal
profit, cither directly or indirectly, or
to have any partnership or other finan
cial interest ia the operation of any
private banking or brokerage firm or
business. Anv such officer who vio-
lates the proiisions of this act, or any
person who aids or abets such officer in
violating the provisions of this act,
shall be deemed guilty of a misde
meanor, and be imprisoned not less
than one year and not more than five
years, or fined not more than $10,000.
The Des Moines Leader takes Dr.
Miller, of the Omaha Herald, sharply
to task for his continued faith in the
democracy ot Samuel J. Randall and
condemnation of all attempts of the
free trade cranks to boycott him for
his efforts against the Morrison bill.
Dr. Miller has recently had the acute-
ness to eee and tha honesty to acknowl
edge that "Randall could get more
vote for prcsidenr in New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Ohio, than any
other living democrat except Samuel
J. Tilden himsalf, or, possibly, George
Iloadly." Thereat. the Leader exlaims:
"Heaven pity the democracy when they
reach the tUte, that their success re
lies upon the ability of Samuel J. Ran
dall to carry any of the close or doubt
f uljstates," and concludes in these ex
pressive words, which, by the way, are
not at all exceptional in the organs of
the free trade faction just now:
"Mr Randall will be taught a lesson
at the Chicago convention the earlier
learning of which would , have saved
him and his friends a deal of trouble
and humiliation. There can be no
compromise now, and there should be
none. The Pennsylvania faction must
be bronght to the block. Those who
would have admitted them to their
counsels must now become their exe
cutioners. The democratic party must
behead its bosses and thus secure its
own unity and success.
The se'eetion of a chairman for the
national republican convention i al
ready a matter of discussion amoDg the
friends of the candidates, and although
t is supposed to be the duty of the
committee on permanent organization
to name the man the choice will be
made long before, the committee - are
chosen. The Blaine men arc advo
cating Harrison, of Indiana, who is
supposed to be Mr. Blaine's second
choice for the presidential nomination,
but, if he is a candidate before the con
vention, the honor of tho chairman
ship, will be sought for the Hon. Cush
nmi K. Davis, of St. Pau', ia whose of
fice a ton of Mr. Bla:ne studied law.
Horr, of Michigan, n also spoken of,
and Senator Sewell, of New Jersey.
The Arthur men will concede the chair
manship to Enmunds contingent or to
the friends of some other dark horse
c mdidato, and are talking of eaveral
gentlemen who are well qualified for
tLe position. '
Among the names' mentioned are
those of George William Curtis, of
New York ; Augustus ; Br aiidegee, of
Connecticut; cx-Seqar-JIeuderson, of
Missouri ; cx-Sccref2ry of The' Navy,
Thomj son, and Congressman McKialy
of Ohio. Tho latter was the chairman
of the Ohio Stale convention and favors
the nomination of Sherman. It is un
derstood that cx-congnssman Burrows
of Michigan, and William II. West, of
Ohio, will place the name of Jain.s G.
Blaine in nomination at Chicago, and
thsy will be carefully drilled bo tbat
they may not make the mistake that
Joy did four years ago when he forgot
the initial of his candidate and nomi
nated "J. B. Blaine. West is a blind
man but is said to have rare gifts in
oratory. Omaha Bee Special.
DEMOCRATIC CROW.
With the Omaha Herald the keeper
of the democratic conscience has an
easy time of it. Great is Sam Ran Is 11
and Doctor Miller is his 1 r jpl ef,
The Doctor has heretofore been fa
mous for the manner iu which he lar
ruped the recalcitrant half breeds in the
ranks of our Nebraska Democracy, and
dih-d up Democrati: crv for their
confessional, but to see this chef, de-la
cuisine f-etting himself down to gor
maiid'za all the Sain Randall crow, is
1.0T u cheering tight.
The Dr. tells t ie vivaciojs gamin ot
tlieLiucoln Democrat and the J. Ster
ling Morion holiness win? of cur Ne
braska Democracy, thai Sammy Tilden
Qrst and. Sammy Kf.nda 1 next are, so
far, first ia the hearts of the stalwart
democracy of the nation, an l thin with
triumphant irony that smacks of era
elty, the ''boss" cf the Herald sL outs
"read the (rascals) traitors out." Ver
ily, we may look for the lamb tn the
inside of the lion, in the (amp of the
Nebraska Democracy.
