§ The'Omaha Republican is to be cou-
B i gratulated upon its continued marked
E& itnproTcment in every department.
Hfl The republicans of the G7th repre-
W tentative district seem to have laid up
If great gobs of grief for themselves in
Iff their Benkelman convention.
IIP Republicans throughout Nebraska
lip want to look well to the success of their
ip legislative tickets. Senator Manderson
Ik should be re-elected by acclamation.
If ] Secretary La"\vsm , a brief counnu-
l | | nication to the railroad commissionad-
III j ministers a merited castigation to Attor-
II ] ney General Lease , whose "forensic ef-
forts" have become altogether monoto-
II ! nous and wearisome to the flesh.
H Eight hundiTd workingmen , mostly
III employed in the iron mills at Bay View ,
IS Milwaukee , have issued a circularover ,
Iff their own signatures , appealing to the
U workingmen of the country to oppose
Iff the Democratic assault on protection
H and to vote for Harrison and Morton.
II Naturally , this extraordinary campaign
ll. document h.i ? erected a great excite-
Ill ment among the Democratic and the la-
Uj bor leaders.
In The wholesale liquor dealers of St.
Hj Louis have come to the conclusion that
Hj the whiskey trust is the "meanest of
H all trusts. " They have combined for
H ihc purchase of an independent distill-
H ery by means of which they expect to
B' crush the combine. As the trust has
H raised the price of rum and cut down
HJ the wholesaler 's profits , it would seem
HI that even the worm in the still turns at
B hated monopoly.
IS The Hamilton ( Canada ) Spectator , in
Si reviewing the President's retaliatory
D message.declares that it will only insure
- to Canada 's benefit , that Canadian rail-
R i ways will handle $50,600,000 , of freight
Rj each year now passing over American
l/ | j lines. It says : ' 'The Chicago Inter Ocean
| | is eminently correct. Canada can stand
Ik V an unlimited application of that sort of
MS \ retaliation. In fact retuHation looks so
M\ \ well in Canadian eyes that perhaps
i Canada will insist on having it whether
I Gro\'er Cleveland be willing or not. "
i * The department of agriculture has
I just finished an interesting table show-
) ing the probable yield in the corn crop
I of the eleven principal corn states as
I compared with the returns of 1887. In
| the list of corn producing states Ne-
l braska ranks fifth with an estimated
yield of one hundred and forty millions
! bushels as compared with nmty-three
; millions bushels in 1887. The condition
i of the crop , estimated at thirty bushels
per acre , is likewise much better than
that of last year , when the average yield
was twenty two bushels. Without a
5 doubt the present corn crop will reach
I high water mark.
*
Hill's renomination makes the state
issue clear. It is whether the people
will allow the arrogant liquor interest
to dictate , not only who shall be elected ,
but what laws shall be passed ; whether
the man whose expenses in his last cam
paign were paid with money obtained
through the cashing of notes by corrupt
aqueduct contractors is one to command
the support of honest voters ; whether a ,
governor who stifles every attempt to
secure purity of elections and put a stop
to the rascalities that are a menace to
our freeinstitutionsisfit to preside over
the destinies of this state ; whether , in
short , David B. Hill , the epitome and
representative of all that is abhorrent
to decent public-sentiment , is a person
to be again inflicted upon the state as
its chief magistrate. Troy Times.
We notice that some of our free trade
I contemporaries have occasionally a
word to say about "Jim Laird , " intimat-
: ing thac he may find his road a hard one
' to travel. Now they are wasting all
their anxiety in regard to that gentle
man. He is standing well at both
, * ends of the line. He occupies an hon-
jf orable place in the front rauk at Wash-
* ington ; not through courtesy or good
[ will , but won by his own pluck and abil
ity. He is influential in his office an
influence commanded by his integrity ,
t his ability and his courage. He is strong
I at home ; has the warm good-will and
BM- hi h esteem of an immense majority of
( H the sterling people of this district
K ? Don't be aaxions about "Jha Laird. "j

The reports from Columbus regard
ing the physical condition of Judge
Thuruiati tire calculated to arouse a unt-
, versal feeling of sympathy for the vet-
j eran statesman. The fact is appateua
that he has been urged to do more that
u man at his time of life and with his
ailments can safely perform , and it in
cruel to require hnn to further expose
himself now when the inclement season
is at hand and strong and healthy men
need to exercise care to retain their
health. It is undoubtedly a fact that
Judge Thurmau is the most valuable
man in the campaign , hut he should not
be asked to endanger his life in the con
test , and that is whathe assuredly will do
if he complies with the wishes of the
national committee He should not he
' called upon to imperil the honor of pos
sible victory by putting his life in jeop
ardy to get it. The proper ambition of
the "old Roman" to do all he can to
promote the cause of his party should
not be imposed upon , rr the national
committee cannot appreciate these
thingp , it is the obvious duty of Judge
Thurmau ' s family to vigorously inter
pose for his protection.
One of the clauses of the Confeder
ate constitution read as follows : "The
congress shall have powqr to lay and
collect taxes , duties , imports , and ex
cises for revenue necessary to pay the
debts , provide for the common defense
and carry oil the government of the
Confederate States ; but no bounties
shall be granted from the treasury , nor
shall any duties or taxes on importations
from foreign nations be laid to promote
or foster any branch of industry ; and all
duties , imports and excises , shall be
uniform throughout all Confederate
States. " They belived in free trade
thenand , believe in it now. They fail
ed then and hope to succeed now. Eng
land was for them then , and she is for
them now for the same reason.
Senator Manderson Monday intro
duced a bill providing that any honor
ably discharged soldier or sailor in the
late war who has onee filed a declara tory
statement for a homestead entrj' , and
who before the expiration of the six
months allowed under section 2,304 , re
vised statutes , in which to make his
entry , has abandoned the entry , shall
not be deprived from making another
homestead entry unless it shall be made
to fully appear that such abandonment
or relinquishment was made for the pur
pose of speculation. A bill to author
ize the president to appoint General W.
S. Rosecrans a brigadier general on the
retired list of the army was also intro
duced by Senator Manderson , the .same
day.
The iron trade is said to he the com
mercial barometer. The decided im
provement noted in the iron industry
foreshadows a general revival in all
branches of business. For several
weeks there has been a gradual gaining
of ground , and last week was regarded
as one of best for the iron industry for
the whole year. Better prices have
ruled the market and there has been a
good demand for everything on the list.
The prospects for a heavy trade in ali
branches of iron are flattering , and the
whole market has a strong and healthy
tendency which , added to the tremen
dous corn crop , cannot fail to stimulate
all lines of business into great activity.
The New York Sun ( dein. ) predicts
that Mr. Cleveland will fail to carry
the vote of Buffalo this fall. In dis
cussing the situation there the Sun
says that no one predicts that the pres
ident will poll the vote he did in 1884.
He got 1,400 plurality , though the
county is nominally republican by 2,000
votes , and sometimes goes more than
3,000 republican. The president is
nothing like so strong here as Gov. Hill
to day , or as he was when , in 1884 , local
pride and interest led him to draw
many votes from the republican party ,
It is predicted that he will lose the
county by about 1,400 or 2,000 votes ,
while Hill may possibly carry it by 1,000
votes.
The Hon. William Warner , who
was elected cammander-in-chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic , has a good
record both as a soldier and in public
life. He was mayor of Kansas City in
1871 , was presidential elector on the
Grant ticket in 1872 , was appointed
United States attorney for the western
district of Missouri in 1882. Two years
later he was elected to congress , and
was re-elected in 1886. He has been
an active friend of the soldiers , and is
very popular with Grand Army men.
The Democratic press are making
many extracts from Cleveland's mes
sages and letter as mottoes for campaign
banners , but we have not noticed that
any of them have complimented "the
Old Roman" once. Now it would make
a telling aud taking motto for a banner
to place over the stand where colored
Democratic orators hold forth that
quaint expression of Old Bandana
"The negro is a prolific animal. "

Gentlemen Seven years ago I contracted
an exceedingly bad case of blood poison. I ,
tried a physician , the best at command , but ;
secured no benefit. My throat began to •
get sore , and my body covered with sores ,
and ulcers. Going from bad to worse , I <
felt that my grave must be reached in the -
near future. _ I gave up the doctors' treat * !
ment , and with a despairing hope I com
menced taking your medicine. I began to
improve from the first bottle , and in a short ,
tlme the ulcers healed and
, my skin clcarcl t
off and was entirely well. t
One year ago a case of catarrh developed ]
in my system. The physician did his best , \
but could not cure me ; but two bottlesof • ;
Swift's Specific gave me permanent relief. i
