THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1896.
The democrats of Nebraska will
hold their state convention to elect
delegates at large to the national con
vention, at Lincoln on the 22d of April
which is Arbor day. The congres
sional conventions wiy be held before
that date.
It now looks as though J. A.
Gutsche would be the democratic nom
inee for major, and is practically set
tled that Henry Gering and Frank
Green will be unanimously nominated
for the offices of city treasurer and city
clerk which means that the entire
democratic city ticket will be elected.
Weyleb, the Spanish governor
general in Cuba raises a great ado
over the stories told in the U. S. senate
of his brutality during the former re
bellion in Cuba, and denounces them
as libels. The reports from Spanish
authority showed that 44,000 Cubans
had been slaughtered after the treaty
of peace had been entered into and the
rebels had surrendered. He says in
justification that he at that time
simply obeyed orders, and never crit
icised the orders of his superiors. No
wonder he now talks of resigning.
Italy is terribly excited and almost
in the throes of a revolution because
of the disaster which lately befell her
army in Abyssinia, in which it is
claimed 5,000 men were slaughtered by
the natives, besides large numbers be
ing wounded. All the artillery,
wagons, provisions and stores were
lost in the awful rout following the
defeat. The people of all the pro
vinces of Italy threaten to rise and
overthrow the government because of
the loss of their friends in the army
and the evident bad generalship. The
ministry will probably resign to ap
pease the populace.
Mr. Unruii announces through the
columns of the Tribune that he has at
great trouble compiled a register of the
city bonds; that the record had been
kept on slips of paper heretofore, and
was unsatisfactory. It was, ap
parently, all right until Mr. Unruh's
term was about up and then he sud
denly discovered that he had a duty to
perform, and after performing it
should be re-elected by an appreciative
public. It is to be hoped that Mr.
Unruh will complete the register be
fore his present term expires. Life is
full of uncertainties, and it is highly
probable that he may be entitled to an
ex before his name after election day.
The fact that the value of imports
has greatly declined during the past
three years is significant of the fact
that the American people have been
too poor to buy foreign-made goods.
Before the Wilson bill was passed the
cry was raised that if the tariff was
lowered a flood of foreign imports was
to be expected that would destroy
American manufactures and make it
impossible to pay more than European
wages to American workingmen; but
these doleful predictions have not been
realized. Instead of a flood of foreign
goods coming to this country, there
has been a large decrease in the
amount and value of imports of European-made
goods, and the only danger
to American labor today is that goods
made in the silver standard countries
of Asia will be able to send their goods
to America and undersell our manu
factures because of the profit there is
to them between the silver and gold
standards. If this country were now to
re-establish bimetallism there would
be no danger to American manufac
tures from Japanese imports. To sus
tain the gold standard is to invite de
struction to American labor from this
source, and no tariff rates not even a
McKinley tariff would suffice to pre
vent such a catastrophe.
